Another quick question, this time about housing stuff: How do i get very large items (such as the troupe stage) to float via the counter surface placement trick? It seems that to stack large objects (like the tier 4 aquaurium) i need to place it on top of a even bigger base object (like a cask rack) but the troupe stage is so huge it hasn't worked with anything i've tried.

Yep!

How do you feel about Adamantoise population? I hear some people complaining but I tend to brush it off

Even after vanquishing the main villain there's no real examination of exactly how the "good" side is going to do good things at all whatsoever, it's just like "You are a successful Samurai! Look no more closely."

I feel like this was a real missed opportunity for the writing team, but in all fairness the Heavensward SAM quests were similarly missing a limb in how it presented its plot.

A great mystery: Why will DPS never use their limit breaks except, maybe, when the boss is nearly dead? I am talking about dungeons and leveling and such, I'm sure there's a formal strategy for them with end game content.

But you could help burn down a big pull, and shorten the dungeon materially.

I wasted an LB once. I was tanking a Castrum Abania and after Number XXIV went down, we were getting ready to move to the next pull and I mistakenly fired it. I have Limit Break bound to L on my keyboard, which is normally far enough away from my other bindings that I won't fat-finger it by mistake, but somehow I ended up hitting it and was like, "Oh, oops."

Fortunately, I was with goons and they didn't care.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this, but if I'm tanking or healing and the last boss of a dungeon is at like 3% health, and we have a full limit break bar, I'm going to loving use it

reposting stuff i typed about crafting from the last incarnation of this thread

- Crafting is an all or nothing thing at least til level 50. You have cross class skills that you're dependent on to craft high end stuff.
- As far as leveling, unlock every class and just work through the crafting log in the guildhouse to knock out levels 1-10 or so. You can get all the mats from the vendor in the guild and you can get to level 10-15 just doing that without too much trouble.
- Once you have every class to level 15, the general focus should be cul to 37 (for hasty touch II), weaver to 50 (for careful synth II) and crp to 50 (for byregot's blessing). These skills form the foundation of all crafting and will be used extensivly.
- https://www.ffxivguild.com/ffxiv-alc-alchemist-leveling-guide-ffxivarr/ this site has 1-70 guides for every DoH class. After lv 15ish you're going to get most of your levels by mass crafting things for leve turn ins. These guides will show you your leve options and give recommendations on which are the easiest/cheapest. Check the AH for prices before doing any of these cus sometimes its cheaper to buy poo poo off the AH and turn them in (ie, PotD has made potions cheap as gently caress so leveling certain ALC tiers is easy as pie)
- Don't sweat mats you get from mobs. Check the marketboard. If they sell for <100 gil a piece don't worry about cluttering your inventory with it.
- Make sure once you've got everything unlocked you do your daily grand company supply and provisioning missions.
- always try to do HQs for leve turn ins, as you get double XP for them
- some of the lv 40-50 leve's suck, so use the Ixal quests if you need to.
- from 51+, the moogle quests are a godsend, and you get glass fiber which sells for quite a bit
- http://www.garlandtools.org/db/ is a item database. if you look up a craftable item and click the "crafting" tab it shows you what materials are required. click the "tree" icon to see prerequisites items. You can click "Add to crafting list" to add the items to a "shopping list" if youre doing more then one craft. you can also click "Open in simulator" to open...
- http://ffxiv-beta.lokyst.net/#/simulator. This site is amazing. It allows you to enter your crafting stats and try out rotations before you do it in game. A quick rundown of how to use it
----- Click the "crafter attributes" tab at the top. Enter your stats for all 8 DoH classes. make sure to click the "By Level" button near the actions after you enter that DoH's level.
----- on the simulator tab, choose the DoH class and the item you want to craft. Click the "solve" button. It uses genetic algorithms to try to find a solution to the craft. You may need to run it multiple times to get something good. Note that this it trys using all unlocked DoH skills, so make sure you update your crafter attributes as you level up.
----- If you need to tweek the rotation (you normally will), click the "Edit results in simulator" button, then click "Edit". You can then drag and drop the DoH skills in the rotation timeline. It will keep track of buffs/CP/Progress/Quailty for you. When you're done you can click the "Macro" tab and copy/paste the macro in game.

One thing I forgot to put on that crafting guide: if your GC squadron is decently leveled one of the weekly lv 50 mission rewards is Squadron Engineering Manuals x5, which give +20% crafting xp for 2 hours.

or you can use GC seals to buy one that gives you +50% for up to 100k XP

It's nice at low levels. I haven't used them at high levels yet but I imagine you have to eat them like candy. It's not like GC seals are hard to come by or anything though
