Poetics are just for Ironworks gear it seems? So I can store them up from roulettes and use them for my various alts to go from 50-60 instead of MB gear which I already burnt my money on kitting out my main class? I still have oils and things in my inventory that I don't quite know what they're for but I think they're for a weapon you could get in one of the 2.X patches.

Poetics are also for the level 60 anima weapon. If you have any designs on that, start buying the Unidentified ______ at the Poetics vendors - need 20 of each. If you're currently leveling a character, then yeah, Poetics gear + Carbontwine/Carboncoat will last you through level 55.

You should also not buy marketboard gear. Ask a goon crafter. It is stupid easy/cheap to poo poo out HQ gear at almost any level. I made an entire ilevel 115 set for my monk yesterday mostly with mats I had laying around and about 10k in gil.

If there are any goons who want to craft level 50 sets I want to get working on my Paladin/Warr, Monk, Dragoon and Archer again at some point soon as I've done too many roulettes on my main class and i've only just gotten Leviathan unlocked at level 52 already D: I also have BLM at ~basically 50, The crafted stuff should be Cross class which would cover Drk and Mch too I guess I have WHM covered and I'll worry about SMN again when I get to whatever the Heavensward/60 equivalent of darklight is This is a serious proposal to do business by mail D: I can get the stuff by checking the market boards and mail it to whomever with gil and get it back. I'll try asking next time im playing as well, but its usually the same people on during the night so if they're not omnicrafters or any crafters i'll have to find people on here/ffgoons

Nuebot posted:Honestly the only problem is that it just runs like poo poo. I was doing fine and then suddenly my stamina just disappeared. Like I didn't get hit by an item or anything, it just started vanishing. Jumping is delayed by like a full second and good luck guessing if your chocobo is actually turning until it's too late. Maybe it's all just on my end I guess, but it's abysmal. The main thing with racing are that you don't have true, direct control over your bo. It will automatically run forward and turn with the track, so you don't really have to worry about steering. Pushing left or right really just changes which invisible lane the bo will run forward in. Pushing up sprints, but quickly wears out your bird and will drain your endurance if you do it too much. Early on in a new race rating will be harder since opponents will have higher stats than you and force you to sprint more to win. Inherited skills that restore stamina help a ton here. While I said you don't technically need to steer, sticking to the inside of the track does get you to the finish line faster so you'll want to move to the lane closest to the next turn whenever possible. The exception is if there is another bird in front of you. There actually is collision detection and another bo moving more slowly than you will block you / make you waste a dash panel, so you'll want to go around them. It sucks that there is such a delay on jumping, but you pretty much have to get used to it.

Unknown Quantity posted:I mean I for one picked BRD to main partially because even counting cross-class skills it only needs 31 buttons to function and I can use 32 comfortably on PS4. It technically uses 32 but I don't really even need the fifth cross-class skill and can just put LB or a food item there instead. Minuet already makes things complicated enough due to being unable to use my off-cooldown stuff while channeling a skill and my connection not allowing stutter-steps in any capacity. Adding even more buttons to finangle would just be terrible. I use 16 buttons (+summons and buffs on another page) for scholar on ps4

Finally got over the hump of disinterest in this game, mainly because the sub I paid for actively started this weekend. Plan for now is to take THM to 30 and then Archer to 15, after that maybe some tanking or healing Classes to diversify my dungeon queues to make farming GC tickets a little more lucrative. Seems like there is a lot of content ahead of me (I just met the Sylphs a few quests back) so I kind of get that feeling I did when WoW first launched that I have a lot to see and do.

There's a shitton of content ahead of you. The dungeon queues aren't really big enough to speculate in though, I think. If you like playing BLM then that's what I'd stick with if I were you. Branching out is cool, but bear in mind that the first levels are always the least interesting. (Do what you WANT, though, is what I'm trying to say)

Tanking is instaqueue but people kinda expect tank to know everything, healer queues are pretty fast too. If you just wanna kill poo poo, kill poo poo though. You don't need to do that many dungeons while leveling, just every couple of levels or so, and endgame is mostly chatting and waiting for stuff anyway.

I find that, for EXDR and Midas normal at least, my queues are actually faster as DPS than they are for healer nowadays. (Tank beats both soundly, either way.)

You can get so many GC seals from high level FATEs and Expert Delivery as any class that I wouldn't recommend rolling Tank/Healer just for GC purposes.

You also actually need like 2000 tokens to buy your first mount which isn't that much. The GC hunting log is there for easy tokens. My suggestion is to just keep progressing MSQ as black mage when you unlock it. You can queue to a dungeon while doing quests and FATEs so dps queue isn't that big of a thing. By all means check out all jobs that interest you but don't feel like you have to synchronise leveling all jobs. Actually it's the best scenario to have a single job at max level first so you can enjoy that sweet armory xp bonus (+100% for any disciple of war/magic class that is lower level than your highest one).

Hey all, just letting you know that I know ffgoons is down. They migrated the server to a new thing and it appears to have broken things, and I am still trying to figure out how many things it even broke or what's going on so I have no ETA for recovery yet, but I am working on it.

You don't need any combat class at max level to get the armory exp bonus, you just need a combat class that is a higher level than your current combat one. Having a Gladiator at level 10 and a Marauder at level 20 gives the Gladiator the +100% EXP bonus and the Marauder gets no bonus. The bonus drops to +50% EXP for classes that are lv50+.

Nuebot posted:What is there to know about tanking anyway? I kind of want to try it once I get my pugilist up. Tanking is mostly about just making enemies hit you instead of everyone else. Everything else stems from that. You do have to understand things like damage mitigation, enemy ability timing, mob facing, things like that. If playing a PLD or DRK you need to learn MP management, moreso DRK than PLD, since you need MP to make enemies hate you more than everyone else. Most of this you can pick up as you go after you do Hall of the Novice for tanks. Also being appropriately up to date on gear is most important for tanks.

Nuebot posted:What is there to know about tanking anyway? I kind of want to try it once I get my pugilist up. Tanks are generally considered the defacto dungeon leader, because they set the pace of how encounters are managed. It's usually expected you know where to go, which enemies are the most dangerous (for marking purposes), and that you know all the boss gimmicks. As far as actually doing the job goes, all you really need to know is that your primary job is to keep enemies engaged with you instead of your healer. Keep the enemies pointed away from your party, generally, and rotate your threat combo through enemy groups, mixing in your AoE threat generator, like Flash or Overpower, or whatever Dark Knights have. If you're not leveling Gladiator/Paladin, get it to 22 anyway, for Provoke, because it'll be useful for the other tanks, and is essential at higher-level content. Once you get your DPS/Threat stances around level 30/40, it's generally smart to have your threat stance on for trash packs and the start of a boss fight, then switching to a DPS stance once you have a good threat lead on the boss. Once you get the basics down, it just becomes a matter of learning to adapt to changing situations. I've only got experience tanking LLDR, so I can't speak to raid tanking, but it's not been nearly as intimidating as it can sometimes seem to new players. Besides, most people are good, so if you tell them you're a new tank they'll be a bit more forgiving. Kwyndig posted:Also being appropriately up to date on gear is most important for tanks. Yes, this is important. Tanks, more than any other job, benefit from keeping their left-side gear as up-to-date as possible, to keep your defense and vitality high.

Tank is the secret Easiest Role, in my opinion as someone with nearly all 3 at 60. The ability to simply just do your job requires by far the least amount of effort. However, Tanks also have an incredibly high player skill ceiling when it comes to being a Great Tank, even more so than some DPS jobs. If you want to be the best Tank you can, that's when you need to learn when you should and shouldn't be in your tank stance, so you can contribute more damage to speed things up. This usually coincides with knowing a specific battle, and how your cooldown management should go. You want to effectively be in your Tanking stance for as little as possible. Usually at the start of a boss fight to build up initial enmity, and then treat it as a defensive cooldown afterwards. Unless a DPS is creeping up on overtaking the attention away from you, then jump back in it for a couple of enmity rotations and drop out again.

It's also about knowing where you should place/face bosses to let your DPS do their jobs. At first, the only thing to consider is pointing the boss away from the group, but later fights involve pulling the boss around so melee DPS can hit their positionals, or turning a boss towards your casters so they don't need to move to worry about a mechanic that's coming up.

Looks like ffgoons is back up but I haven't gotten any further info from the hosting provider about what's going on and I'm assuming they're updating the ticket as I type, so hopefully it stays up? e: My guess is that they migrated it and used the ORIGINAL system version image that I started the server with forever ago, which is Ubuntu 8.04. I have since upgraded it because 8 loving years is a bit long even for an LTS but I don't think that quite transferred in whatever their migration process is. I would not be surprised if the hours of radio silence other than "we're working on it" is them manually updating to a more recent LTS, heh.

Yes, but Final Coil gear looks nicer. If you were gonna augment the stuff, you'll be doing Coils anyway, no? To get Carbontwine and stuff. Plus the weapon is actually better than an augmented Ironworks weapon. You can do it with goons if you're really worried about getting screwed by RNG.
