I only have excellent ideas
I think gathering is extremely soothing, especially when I can park outside of an unspoiled node spot and do housework or dissertation stuff until its up. You can also make a ton of money very easily doing it.

I didn't enjoy leveling gathering but it was totally worth it for the ability to make my retainers do all the lovely busywork like collecting grade 3 soil and the ingredients for strength x-potions.

You would be angry if female were not allowed to weaar male's clothes. Can you imagine girls today always wearing robe or jupe, like no jean at all?
That's what make me laught the most with female, they want gender equality and fight for it, but the more they do the more they just want to surpass the male and switch role.

Human is such a laughtable race.

Okay. So, I am *intensely interested*, from both a lore standpoint because I am a sucker for story, and from a technical standpoint, because all this reverse engineering of MMOs is incredibly interesting to me.

This is also the same guy that does the modelviewer, which just updated two weeks ago? http://ffxivexplorer.fragmenterworks.com/ Which is how I found out in the first place.

Arcanist for Virus and Eye for an Eye. Not NEARLY as essential as Swiftcast but it adds a nice buff and debuff to your arsenal.

What's your current ilvl? The current EXDR dungeons have 195 gear I think, collecting Esoterics from roulettes gets you 200 that can be upgraded to 210, Void Ark is 200, Alexander Midas I think is 220.

If you have the money to get the materials, get folks to craft you sky pirate i185 gear

Do hunts (daily, weekly and wild A/S ranks) for Centurio Seals that can buy i170 Law gear and upgrade tokens for 180

Do ARF, Fractal and Neverreap for esoteric tomes and i160 pieces in the latter two

At i170 you can do Pharos and Arboretum for 185 pieces including accessories and unlock 60DR. You can also Void Ark for i200 armor and esoteric i210 upgrade tokens and Alexander 1-4 for i190.

Also run roulettes on your 60 for extra tomes.

The overall process won't take too long. Daily hunts are really going to help since you can get 110 seals every day and that is potentially up to 2 i170 pieces the first few days you do them.

Esoteric gear is i200 and you will be swimming in them. Consider saving up and getting the eso weapon first while you piecemeal other pieces ; an upgraded i210 weapon will last you a long time.

Also kind goons will probably craft you 220 jewelry (right side items) for materials that cost only 40 Eso each.

Some of the materials required you'll still need to get from the board for right side i220 gear (or go get it as a level 60 miner) but yeah I was surprised at how easy it was to get the materials for it.

Play a tank or monk and get the lore body. It's basically a corset and a push-up bra. (With lots of spikes.)

Since I can't just quote an entire thread, I'm going to link it and quote a few highlights instead: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/284298-Abuse-of-the(-backslash-E-m-command)

quote:

Dear FINAL FANTASY makers I have been watching and seeing with disturbing results about the unfiltered unrestricted unedited ability to create your own personal emote which can well be nothing short of graphic putting it lightly to are underage players in this game I asked the development team please remove this system because it is increasingly getting more graphic each day

quote:

I have personally witnessed let's just say unbecoming activity my filters are set at the highest and because of this /em command it prints it up on the screen no matter what the filters are set to because it is classified as an emote no I am NOT going to sit here and say what the definition of other conduct is

quote:

With all due respect when this specific command system has the ability to insinuate strong sexual graphic nature to underaged players in this game , am I to assume that you see nothing wrong with this behavior

quote:

Dear Final Fantasy makers dear Final Fantasy makers I am speaking to you now not only as a paying customer but as a mother I have been reading over this post and it deeply disturbs me the possibility that this command line could possibly lead to especially involving underage children under the age of 18 there are many organizations that would take great offense I ask as a mother to please remove this command line from your game or put strict sensory filters on this because if left unchecked it could most serious future problems thank you developing team Final Fantasy for listening to this mother's concern

quote:

thank you also for bringing that up to as well let me explain to each and everyone how serious I can make this there is a specific organization might I add a federal law enforcement organization concerning the children's well-being under the age of 18 known as child protective services no I am NOT going to add but they are more than capable of doing but the abuse of this backslash /em command and also that Marco system since children under the age of 18 play this would clearly violate their children pornography law and might I say that is a federal offense all I have to do is alert them with screenshots

You can HQ 3* recipes with full NQ, but it requires that Hasty Touch actually cooperate with you, and even then it's not really worth the hassle just to save a few eso.
