Also look into Records of Eminence to get sparks (a currency) which you can spend to buy gear that's shitloads better than anything you would have had before you quit, magian weapons included. It's definitely on the low end as far as current stuff but there's nothing better for getting your foot in the door, so you don't get completely catch-22'd out of getting on the way to actual good gear.

hagie posted:How do I claim Shanotto 2? Also, here's the gear progression path for people coming back/new people. -1->98, who gives a poo poo beyond keeping a fairly current weapon (work your way through RoV far enough for 1 more extra trust ASAP; starting RoE quests give you a good roster of trusts to get trucking with + Apururu unity trust). Let your trusts do a lot of the heavy lifting* *Make sure to recast your trusts every once in awhile. I do not believe they level up when you do. Make sure to grab the appropriate 117 sparks armor, accessories and weapon for your job with sparks along the way. Split rest of sparks into sellable gear for money and skillup books so you're not a terrible shitbad for Maat**. **Chances are you're going to be a really bad shitbird if this is your first job. For this reason, I actually suggest people take up WHM as their first job. You can beat the Maat fight by just kiting him and popping potions and WHM is a very good job to get an early start into endgame content. "Look at me, I just hit level 99" Throw on your 117 gear and marvel at your new power, although you're still really awful. Take this moment to catch up on your lagging skills and work on more RoV missions. Gear progression at 99: Sparks gear->NQ Ambuscade gear->HQ Ambuscade gear/Delve/Escha Zi'Tah-Ru'Ann gear->Reisenjima/Omen/reforged AF/SinisterReign/Vagary Notes: -Alluvion skirmish used to be the go to stop for your endgame set up, but outside of a few circumstances, I'd suggest completely skipping this stage. A lot of the gear is outclassed for a lot of jobs anymore and why sink gil into irrelevant gear? If you're a BST or SCH, maybe reconsider down the road. -Ambuscade is the content you'll want to likely jump right into. The NQ sets are good starter sets for a lot of people, the capes are top of the line for every job and you can make good money. This is also an event that encourages you to party up, so load up with some other lovely new 99 people and spam away. -Once you get a strong 119 armor set and a decent 119 weapon, power through your missions and make your way into the RoV zones. These zones will provide you the gear you need to get deep into endgame. -Don't feel too bad if you decide to skip Sinister Reign. The battle system is stupid as poo poo, hardly anyone does it any longer and random augments tied on pure luck is the worst thing. I'd suggest doing it when you can till you at least get August trust (excellent tank trust), and after that you can just skip this event unless you're looking for perfect gearsets (ex: perfect aug'd sam tights). -Vagary is also completely skipable too, unless your job is very dependent on reforged empyrean ilvl119 gear. -A lot of the Delve gear is old and not needed anymore, but I'd still suggest going through it for some accessories (necklace, earrings, TH belt).

I'm running around with multiple 99 jobs so I'm not terribly worried about leveling. Mnk Blu Smn Sam Nin Bst Pup Pld Drk (92) Drg (80 something) War (95) Getting Maat's cap and all would be nostalgic but eh. I'm a returning player on his original character.

You can actually do Maat with trusts now so it's a total joke. Even before that they nerfed him pretty badly where you could have ok armor and an updated weapon for most jobs. I did it as a DRG in like 2013 at level 73 with just whatever walking in and just penta-thrusted him real hard. Lant fucked around with this message at 05:51 on May 15, 2017 |

LiquidFriend posted:http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/campaign/login/login47.html Thanks for this. Last time I came back I got a leg up on Sparks gear, but I've been languishing at 117 trying to figure out where to go next. I've spent the last week plugging through the SoA story, before I eventually got tired of the next game day waiting and decided to wrap up RoV. I got as far as the Cloud of Darkness fight, but I can't seem to solo that with my trusts, so that's a bummer. Aside from that I've been soloing random EP mobs to get some merits and CP. My merit cap's at 41 right now, and I've finished some other categories like RDM Group 1/2. I also picked up a Septoptic from the Wanted dial, which seems like a neat weapon for my WHM. Not sure what I'll do after I finish the SoA and RoV missions. I'd like to continue playing RDM, but scoping out the shouts in town I don't think I've ever seen people ask for one. Maybe I'll level GEO.

Is there an active LS? In-game name the same as SA? You can PM me info if you want. The economy is interesting as hell. 4,000 for a lizard egg? Most everything goes by a predictable cost path 1,000 20,000 50,000 200,000 500,000 15,000,000 Those are the most regular costs I see on the AH

It's funny how they've managed to introduce so many QoL improvements and yet you can still only put 7 things for sale on the AH. I feel like I remember hearing somewhere that the AH allowed you to list more items way back when the game was first released, but the hardware was too weak to handle the sheer number of transactions, so they ratcheted it down and just left it like that forever. They should just jack up everyone's AH limits to crazy numbers.

I am having some trouble getting Dawn from CoP to roll over. I have Storms of Fate completed. I got my Rajas ring AGES ago and have never discarded it. So to Tav Safehold I go to check the door, door "locked up tight." I proceed to Lufaise Meadows to J-6 and get to the cliff...no cutscene plays. I do not see any of the key items it gives, and my quest book says Dawn under CoP missions I was coasting through Rhapsodies quickly and is an e-brake I wasn't expecting... edit: nevermind on a whim i decided to just zone into Delk Tower in Qufim and the cutscene happened. Found out I never did Apocalypse for that other earring though. hagie fucked around with this message at 18:42 on May 16, 2017 |

I wrapped up Rhapsodies last night! Kind of an annoying, basic final fight that took a couple of tries - first with a BLU and GEO (me on WHM) and when we wiped near the end the GEO brought in a PUP friend to help finish the job. Nice ending cutscene, and a beautiful song to cap off eleven years of this game. Still gotta do the back half of Seekers, but that'll probably be easier.

LiquidFriend posted:Any goons able to buy cashmere wool from mog gardens? Yeah sorry about that, I never really had a goal in mind with crafting other than "Get Goldsmithing to 110" because I kind of ran out of things to do in the game and it was either that or actually go serious on a Burtgang. Getting Smithing and Alchemy up were kind of an afterthought, and I have no idea how the crafting world in that game revolves so I'd have never guessed to level clothcraft. What does the synth time on those newest rank of shield actually mean, does a synth just instantly start and finish with it so you don't have to wait the 5 seconds or whatever?

Now I'm stuck in Rhapsodies again because of WotG missions... I'm on Cait Soth and I'm showing I have the 2 rewards, but can't progress. I talk to the NPCs and check the ???s and nada. Turned in a bunch of sparks for a fully decked out BLU and BST. Didn't do SMN because there is no avatar perp cost down.

Also I'm not sure what rewards you're referring to. Those sound like Campaign medals, which have no bearing on mission progress as far as I can recall. e: Unless you're saying you can't progress in WotG? In which case, you have to do the next Sandy (S) missions to move forward there, which starts with Boy and the Beast.

I'm phone posting so it's tough to explain exactly. From what I remember looking at the wiki, it shows WotG Cait Sith as a 2 part mission. Mission 1 is Boy and Beast, Mission 2 is a NM ??? Spawn I don't remember the name. When I check with the quest giving NPCs and follow up NPCs nothing happens. If I start from step 1, and progress through nothing happens. If I go to the ???s, I get "nothing out of the ordinary here." If I do the next quest after WotG Cait Sith, it doesn't start. The ffxiclopedia wiki shows that the rewards are: Mission 1: Sterling Star Mission 2: Golden Star I show those in my Temp Key Item inventory. There is 1 key item I do not have that is the Military Script, BUT that item is also sellable to a NPC. I do not know if there is a way to find out if I sold it.

Sterling/Golden Star? Those are Campaign medals. Where are you seeing these as quest rewards on the wiki? Looks like you're somewhere on Boy and the Beast or Wrath of the Griffon. Check your Current/Completed quest logs for "Crystal War" to hopefully figure it out.

Best information I can offer is check your completed quests list (quests, not mission) for shadowreign areas and see if you have completed Wrath of the Griffon. If you haven't that's why you can't progress. If you have and you still can't progress it sounds like a bug, you may want to try doing the Bastok or Windurst questlines to advance. It doesn't matter which nation questline you advance you just have to advance one of them.

Are Assaults soloable? As in, can I enter them without a party? One of the goals I'd left by the wayside when I stopped playing regularly was getting Captain rank, and I'd like to knock that out sometime this week or next. Alternatively - anyone on Asura wanna knock out some assaults over the weekend?

Okay, I see the confusion: quote:Upon completion of certain quests, a player's rank will not be demoted past the designated medal listed. You must still earn that medal from campaign battles and evaluations. Completing nation quests in the past prevents you from being demoted past whatever medal they list there for not participating in Campaign. It doesn't actually give you the medal; you still have to earn those from Campaign battles and evaluations. Anyway, make sure you go through your quest logs when you get a chance.

I'm thinking I changed affiliation at some point. When I went to Bastok to get the Sigint the guy got lovely with me and said I want affiliated with them. This made me think my quests would be under Sandy. Checking my logs I completed the previous missions under Bastok. I guess changing affiliation that way doesn't also change it via story line.

Affiliation only matters for campaign related things.
