Yo peeps. I've got this game on PC and have a level 50 character on Excalibur, which is an NA server I guess? I got a PS4 a few days ago and wanna buy FFXIV on here too. I'm based in Norway, but I guess this game doesn't care about regions? I can just buy it on the PSN store and play my 50 SMN?

If your monthly sub is charged in EUR and not USD you should be right, though.

Meiteron posted:What's really funny is people got bored this patch because they couldn't clear the raiding content. I think the truth is that FF14 does a better job catering to a more casual audience with over the top visuals in fights and awesome music, and focusing on a more hardcore audience is just going to gently caress things up. Let WoW be the big boy in regards to raiding. It's worked really well for them in Warlords of Draenor.

I've been doing crafting dailies whenever I remember to do it and burning all my accumulated gil buying stuff on the MB instead of crafting it myself (probably not the best decision now that I'm heading into 30+). It's a nice mindless way to level up, at least.

So any tips for starting out? I've always liked Lancers/Dragoons from FF games (spears/lances rock), also I like crafting when there's some sort of involvement in it besides "click and wait"

But once you get past that it's a lot of fun, definitely one of my favorite classes.

I didn't grab it for the classes I play until well after I hit 50, and it took me weeks to get used to timing it properly.

Warlords was a bust, from what I could tell, because it seemed like your Garrison followers went on more adventures than your character did.

Only from a time perspective, and it seems that the common wisdom at the moment is to ignore beast tribes entirely in favor of A1/A4 for bones and seeds, Poe for shells, law on ores, and ARR hunts for seeds / more poe, A3 only being an option if you can push and skip oozes.

First is that they're crafter based and the current step already has a crafter required contribution and there generally isn't more than one of that per step. The second is that you only get 12 beast tribe quests a day and with five beast tribes, someone's gotta be left out. Third reason is that their content doesn't interact with any other old content IE old fates and such. Go to place, get thing/buff, craft, deliver. That's it.

Got my Monk to 60! My gear is a little wacky at the moment, and I still gently caress up my DoTs a fair bit, and have NO idea what to do when Perfect Balance comes off cooldown while I'm at full stacks. Should I use it to cram in a bunch of consecutive Bootshines for the crit damage, or should I drop a Tornado Kick and PB my stacks back right away? I'm pulling about 1100-1150 on a dummy, is that low for how I'm geared?

The base game is currently in the latest Humble Bundle for a meager break the average price ($5.35 at time of writing), and if you don't like it, your money at least went to making kids lives better or something. https://www.humblebundle.com/

Should I use it to cram in a bunch of consecutive Bootshines for the crit damage, or should I drop a Tornado Kick and PB my stacks back right away? PB's main uses are getting your stacks up in a hurry on a single target (read: start of boss fights, middle of longer boss fights if mechanics make you lose stacks) and AoEing effectively on trash (Rockbreaker spam). Form Shift helps a lot with the former but PB is even better when it's up. For the niche you describe though (single target, no upcoming stack-losing mechanics or AoE trash pulls in the next 3 minutes), I don't endgame monk so I won't make any particular recommendation. I see merit in both options (you'll want to use a Snap Punch or Demolish at some point in the PB to keep your stacks up afterward though). Though personally as a filthy casual monk, my reaction would be to shrug and save it for one of the scenarios where it is important, even if they don't happen to come up in the next 3 minutes and it would've been off cooldown anyway. Tornado Kick in particular is pretty awkward to work with for anything that isn't a predictable mechanic that unavoidably forces you to lose stacks.

Sometimes they'll ask for an item you can't get from vendor, but many of the requested items are totally vendorable. Probably less so for CUL, but you can just ride the muffin train to 60 with levequests for that.

Is that reasonable/affordable? I know people were freaking out about how expensive and potentially unrewarding it was to work it up back when the expansion first hit, but that sure sounds better than grinding things out with pricey mats at any rate. Maybe I should just wait for another Ixal-style catchup mechanic. I'd prefer to have the full sheet of 60s, but most of what I use DoH classes for is repairing.
