Does that work for NA players? I never got the cloud because I started late.  Also, how do I make money in this game? I keep trying to level up my crafters to make money, but I need HQ items to do that. And to get HQ items, I have to buy them from MB because my skills are poo poo at low level. But buying from MB costs a lot of money and I only have 590,000 gil left.

Crafting is generally going to be a net loss until you get it to max level, and even then I'm not clear on exactly how you make money from it in a way that's worthwhile vs just selling gathering mats

Seriously, if you can find something, it prints money. I can sell a 19k gil item for at least 74k, depending on the market that day. It's not what people do to make a metric poo poo ton, but it'll give you a seed fund. Unrelated, so we can't just take our squadron into any 4 man? Aww.

Crafting is a losing proposition. I made most of my money on the MB selling off HQ gear I got from the SB MSQ. When the summer event was going on, a few enterprising goons made bank by cornering the popoto market and I made about 200k making stacks of the battered catfish and selling them on the MB. Run dungeons, do your challenge log, find mats that have a decent ROI and either gather them yourself or send out your retainer, craft HQ variants of GC turn ins and sell them on the MB, etc. The game throws money at you, but you have to be smart about it. E: also look for really dumb poo poo on the MB. Buy materia 4's that people put up for 500 gil and vendor them, etc. Phone fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Sep 29, 2017 |

I got my first retainer, and then did the quest to allow him to go on quests. I made him a conjurer since that's my class and outfitted him with hand me downs. Off he went on an adventure of some sort. I noticed that I could have a second retainer so I wanted to find out what strategies people use with them. I have botanist, leatherworker and carpenter and intend to pick up pretty much all the gathering and crafting jobs since I enjoy noodling around with them. Should I make this next retainer a gatherer? Also: reading all of your posts shows me that there's so much about this game I don't know.

Or will a every squadron have to have a conjurer for the times you aren't healing yourself? E:^^^ There is little reason to have more than one fighty retainer, so make any further ones gatherers. All combat class retainers find the same stuff but botanist/miner/fishing retainers each bring back separate things. Normally you have two retainers but you can buy additional ones from the Mogstation. Thundarr fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Sep 29, 2017 |

Totorok isn't a hard dungeon, I've never seen anyone fail anything there except occasionally walking past a Magitek Plot Device. It's just loving looong and ugly and tedious even in optimal conditions.

(The mount is OK too). Site's dead right now, incidentally. 4.1 looks pretty middling for a patch honestly, but I might get a month purely to get in on the Ramzawagon.

Do keep in mind that your retainers cannot be a higher level than you are in any given class, so you can't have a miner if all you've leveled is a fisher.

Also, if you're leveling crafting, do the Ixal & Moogle Quests. Its slow, but the overall cost isn't that high.

Wait, so if I get to say L14 botany my retainer can't go beyond that? So if I want a certain level of gathering from a retainer I have to first achieve that myself? That's not a problem for me but I want to make sure I understand. Are they able to gather hidden items that you haven't revealed personally?

Yeah. I leveled fishing just so my retainer could fish me up a Fat Cat because that's literally the only place they come from. Each gathering class has several things like that. Quick ventures (maybe on combat classes only?) can bring in all sorts of rare poo poo including the fairly expensive jet black or pure white dyes for example. And a bunch or worthless junk too, don't get me wrong, you're not going to be pulling in millions all the time. So yeah, pick jobs you've used and give them the hand me down gear and you'll be fine.

Dick Trauma posted:Wait, so if I get to say L14 botany my retainer can't go beyond that? So if I want a certain level of gathering from a retainer I have to first achieve that myself? Correct. If you're a 14 BTN, then your BTN retainer will stay capped at 14 and won't earn any more exp until you level up too. You have to have gathered something at least once yourself (it must be checked off in your Gathering Log) before you can send your retainer to gather it. They also can't just go get whatever you want; there's a pre-set list of items you can ask them to get. There are also stat requirements at later levels; your retainer needs a certain amount of Gathering to undertake some ventures.
