I am currently a level 25 CUL, and I am trying to do the HQ Helm Component Ixal quest, but I am having some great difficulties. I eat Mint Lassi, and everything but my head/ear/neck/bracelet/rings is HQ crafting gear for my level. CP=253 Control=150 Skill Speed=144 Craftsmanship=161 I usually do this: Inner quiet > steady hand > hasty touch, then do that as often as possible, sometimes doing master's mend to repair, but I just am not loving doing enough to get high quality up. Am I missing something? I noticed that goldsmithing thing gets something cross class at 15, do I need that? I just want to hand in these stupid quests because I'm reputation capped

SKULL.GIF posted:Why is the animation for Shoulder Tackle a gut punch and the Steel Peak animation a shoulder tackle? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Shoulder Tackle has to be a gut punch in order to impart the maximum amount of gently caress Yeah into the level 30 PUG quest's intro cutscene. I'm pretty sure that I have never actually *seen* the Steel Peak animation because it just gets weaved in between everything else.

I'm going to shill for the crafting optimizer here http://ffxiv-beta.lokyst.net/#/crafter-attributes , plug in your crafter stat on that page, pick your recipe on the simulator page, and it'll spit out a macro that'll give you the best chance of getting HQ without taking the condition stuff into account. It has yet to fail me with a level 60 CUL and 55 BSM where I crafted most of my story HQ turn ins, the only times where it has is when I put in the wrong stats or when RNG decides to gently caress me over in particular. OFC it won't always guarantee HQ stuff and there is an RNG component with hasty touches and w/e, but I think it's awesome anyway  Edit: also if you have access (or a friend with access) to kugane theres a food vendor that sells decent crafter food.

You're missing a bunch of level 50 abilities, most importantly Byregot's Blessing from CRP. You're just going to have to suck it up until you get there. Keep plugging away at CUL until 37 though, because Steady Hand II is really good.

I either have to craft myself the items, then go to the questgiver, turn in ONE round of items, teleport back to the questgiver, then go to the target again, and repeat. What the gently caress.

SonicRulez posted:I would add Summoner, but I don't know how it's changed since I haven't touched it since SB released. I'm told it's not good anymore. It's not that it's not good; rather, it's that it's not great at what it used to be good at, and is instead better at other things. It should always have been burst AoE (you know, the thing every other game's Summoner has done) but instead it went from strong DoTs to single-target burst. It's currently the weakest caster DPS as a result of the change, but it really only looks bad in comparison to Red Mage. If you're only comparing it to BLM, it's "trade a chunk of DPS for mobility" which isn't the worst. If you're looking for something that doesn't require you to be a maestro, though, you'd do well to look elsewhere.

BLM doesn't require a lot of finger mobilit, it's all about planning and quick thinking. High-level BLM play involves knowing the fight down cold so you use your mobility tools at the right time as well as knowing whether you can afford to squeeze in one more Fire 4.

While doing the 2.x quests I decided to pick up SAM and RDM even though I have no intention of levelling them any time soon, just to get it out of the way and see what their skills looked like. Wtf is a SAM hotbar meant to look like those are too many buttons to weave together.

GreenBuckanneer posted:I looked up a guide which shows the best leveling path is to spam levequests There's more than one set of leves for each level group--if you find one annoying, go to a different one. Also, in that there's a fairly limited number of leves in the rotation, you can buy/make a butt-ton of some specific item and then spend 10 minutes chain turning them in. A little running (if that's even needed--most of the delivery targets are only a few steps from a teleport location) is still [i]way[i] faster than grinding crafting. Also don't forget to do your Grand Company provisioning turn-ins. They can give you a nice little chunk of XP, and follow the same rule of HQ item = 2x XP.

I've only done one leve turn in (albiet, like 15 of them in a row) for CUL on top of turning in GC stuff everyday, and I've gone from mid-20s to 41 without investing more than 5 minutes/day.

Is there a decent guide for which crafting skills are generally good or bad in Stormblood? I just got to 70 on CUL. I kind of came up with a crafting strategy while leveing, but I don't know if there are any good skills I'm ignoring My basic strategy is: Activate Inner Quiet, Whistle stacks Steady Hand 2, Manipulation, spam Hasty Touch, repeat Byrogot's miracle to 100% HQ or close-ish Rumination, wheel durability whenever needed Steady Hand 2, Rapid Synthesis to 100% Also activating any cool looking procs that come up along the way. However, I read that whistling is a bad skill for crafting newbies online but I don't know if that's true or not

I really wish Crafting didn't feel so intimdiating to me. I think it's because the initial entry is like "level everything up!!' and it gives me paralysis. I've got like 4 million gil I'm sitting on specifically either to buy a house or shorten crafting leveling but I can't make myself start.

I kind of came up with a crafting strategy while leveing, but I don't know if there are any good skills I'm ignoring Prudent Touch is the absolute king of quality. It effectively only costs 9 CP, because it saves you 12 CP worth of durability. A guaranteed IQ stack for 9 CP is bonkers. Since you don't have any CC abilities, you'll also want to use Muscle Memory for progress. Focused Synthesis is also good if you have the CP for it. Don't bother with any of the 50-60 specialist abilities, they are RNG heavy garbage. Initial Preparations with either Specialty: Reinforce or Refurbish (Reflect is usually a waste) is good for extra CP. Don't use Rumination ever. Get CRP to 50 ASAP to get Byregot's Blessing, because miracle is the cheap knockoff version.
