Just don't bother with the sylph dailies until 60. Everything there is too low to aggro you then, and while the runs are tedious you at least won't be interrupted. :effort:

Yeah, and if you get a FATE quest, just abandon it unless the FATE is already up, with plenty of time to get there/kill and not progressing. Bad timers in that zone and it sucks to navigate.

Someone tell me if the lorebook is worth getting because at £35 I'm heavily tempted to. :ohdear:

If you're in the UK and can thus get that relatively cheap UK shipping, very worth it. It has a ton of new lore information and confirms certain things long suspected (like the Dunesfolk uniformly being descendants of the Mhachi Lalafells and Nym having been primarily a Plansfolk town, and some centuries later a lot of former Nymians filtered back into Limsa, though how Nymian they still were at that point is up for debate.)

A lot of that stuff is making me want to once again go potato even more, since I'd noticed a long time ago that many of my main jobs (SCH and BLM) are very heavy on the falafels, and now it's just outright confirmed that historically, most Scholars were Lalafell, as were many BLMs (though obviously, as Mhach grew it got a lot more varied, as one can see in the corpses in Mhach itself). Plus, hey, tank lalafell never gets old. :v: I'm not sure how Dancer lalafell would shake out, but I imagine it'd be pretty nice too.

Bear in mind that if you don't want Namingway, there's a chance you can make a chunk of your £35 back by selling the code on eBay or whatever. Or you can try in game for gil if you want but that might be a little more risky in terms of violating the ToS.

Thanks! Someone in the Discord also confirmed it was a nice book and worth the money, but without as much detail, so I've gone ahead and gotten it. £35+£5 shipping for a full colour 300-page hardback is a pretty good deal.

Now I just hope their support guys read the ticket I filed to change the delivery address before it ships, since I ordered it to home instead of the office like an idiot. :ohdear:

e; they caught the request and changed the address before it ships, so I'll have it at work tomorrow. :toot:

Australia gets hosed again, we get geoblocked from all the EU squeenix stores to our own dumb pissbaby website which has nothing but exorbitantly priced digital downloads of games, and the US site (once the book is up) won't ship to Australia unless we use some weird arcane magickry like ShopMate, to say nothing of the shipping. I just want the cool book :(

You mean 3.45? More Palace of the Dead floors (and a ranking system for PotD apparently), and :sigh: another relic step. I'm still only 1/3 done with the Umbrite phase.

It's time for the next relic step. If you've been doing A12 each week, then the 260 weapons would wildly outperform the 240 relics. Even the Sophia weapons are a good 15 ilvls above the current relic step.

And yeah, sorry AUS or far-from-Britain EU goons, your shipping options are all stupid and terrible. :(

Well, I've leveled Lancer up to 20 and so far, so good. It's going really quickly so I should reach the point where I can stop hitting only Impulse Drive pretty soon :toot:

Do we know yet if Heavensward will be wrapped into the base game and, if so, when? I'm not going to buy it until I get DRG to 50 anyway, but depending on if/when that happens I'll save my money and just wait. If it won't happen until the Stormblood prepatch, though, I'll probably take the plunge and buy Heavensward anyway.

Also, I really don't like how they made an achievement associated with each step of each version of the relic instead of just one for each step. But that's just me.

If the 2.x relic is anything to go by, no, we'll have the last step in 3.5. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will be over, forever.

Somewhat disappointingly, Yoshida didn't mention this during NA fanfest. I think he might be getting a little pressure to not mention it until at least 3.5 so people keep providing that sweet sweet Heavensward money.

That said, the roll-in probably won't happen until Stormblood itself, and that's around nine months away, so if you want to play now, I would totally pick up Heavensward.

In the UK, the lore book + shipping is actually less than the US price, which is a surprise considering pretty much every other SE product.

The problem for non-UK residents of the EU seems to be that they're all being shipped out of SE-EU's headquarters in London. So if you aren't in the UK (or aren't, like, just across in the channel in Calais or something) shipping prices are absolutely insane. I've heard reports of the shipping getting as high as the price of the book itself.

It might be worth shooting a mail over to SE-EU or get in touch with the XIV EU reps on twitter or the forums and see if they can find a solution for bringing the shipping prices down, because for the continental EU, the shipping prices are absurd right now. If you're in the UK, though, it should only run you ~5 quid unless you live on the Isle of Man or some poo poo.

The way they talked about Eureka, with its 72 hour spawn time NMs, make it sound like it'll be a more open-world area than current Diadem. Open world content that had some teeth to it is something I'd like to see, just not sure if they'll do a good job of implementing it the first go around.

I really just don't want them to screw up Eureka cause that's a thread that's been hanging for almost two years now.
