In order to unlock Samurai and Red Mage, you have to hit level 50 on the character you want it on, or does it unlock for the whole account? My solo character has been chugging through the MSQ but I'd like to play as those classes on alts I have when I'm playing with my family.

This game has me hooked badly, it's been only 2 or 3 weeks since I first posted here for advice and I already have a spoony bard at 49 with the first chunk of the MSQ done. :stare:

You have to be 50 on the character you want it on. Unlike Ast/Drk/Mch though you can get it as soon as you hit 50, no plot progression (beyond reaching Ul'dah) required.

Post-gravedigging Elezen does got me wondering, though. His hood was drawn over his head in a way to hide a conspicuous Garlean eye, to the point that I thought he was suppose to be Gaius befor ethey dropped Shadowhunter in the next quest.

You're in luck. Sigmascape normal had it's weekly restriction removed, so you can get 350 belt, accessories, helmet, gloves, and boots pretty quick if RNG allows it.

Oh yeah, no way in hell that Shadowhunter is NOT Gaius, the first loving thing he does in the battle is do the X blade spam. Oh man can we have 4.4 already?

No, I mean the darker-skinned Elezen who was accompanying Gaius, the one with the tattoos. I don't recognize him at all. I can't even think of anyone like that who Gaius would've run into.

Just did Ridorana with goons.

We may want to schedule things to get these done as goons for the near future, I don't trust pubs to not gently caress up many things.

Seriously, you thought Forgall, Ozma, Diabolos, Hashmalum and Rofocale were pubgrinders? Ha ha, there are mechanics where if you die, you functionally become unable to beat the boss until whoever is still alive agrees to wipe and reset, and mechanics where you can't just "follow where everyone else goes", and not gently caress over the rest of the group.

I found a bug with the Namazu quests. I accepted one quest as a CUL and two of them as an ALC, I had to retrieve the items from the crate as an ALC, craft them as a CUL, then submit them to the NPC as an ALC.

Not even mad that she shanked Asahi after the dolt gloated about burning bridges AKA" separating your head and body is no longer verboten".

In case anyone is having trouble looking up which quests to do for fishy fun, or you're lazy, here's a quick guide.


How to Unlock Namazu Quests

Prerequisites:
You must have completed the main story quest "In Crimson They Walked", which requires level 66.
You must have a Lv60+ DoH or DoL job to accept the final quest.

1) Complete the following two quest chains, which both start in Yanxia near the Namai aetheryte. All of the quests (with one exception) have blue "+" icons:

Perchance to Hanami (normal quest icon - unlocks the quest hub in southwest Yanxia)
> Gyorin the Namazu
> No Wealth Like Mineral Wealth
> Fresh Flesh
> Show Me the New Money
> Amber Alert

Courage the Cowardly Lupin
> Kurobana vs. the Rice Sacks
> Kurobana vs. the Arrowheads
> Kurobana Holmes

2) Head back to Namai and complete the followup quest "Kurobana vs. Gyorin".

3) Travel to the Azim Steppe and complete the unlock quest "Something Fishy This Way Comes", which starts at the southern end of the zone near the Yanxia zone line. As mentioned above, you must be a Lv60+ DoH or DoL to accept the quest. Don't forget to attune to the new aetheryte!

The reason the Ascians haven't been around is because Gaius has been murdering them all offscreen. :allears:

I see that Aenor is still hungry for Hoary's boulders.

As for MSQ stuff: Shadowhunter is 100% definitely Gaius. The real question is, if Elidibus is riding around in Zenos' corpse, why does Gaius have Elidibus' mask? :tinfoil:

Also this. He's been busy!

E: wait nevermind, that isn't Elidibus' mask. It's the white part of Gaius' mask. I forgot his wasn't solid black.

Yeah, I'm gonna throw myself in there tonight, maybe pick up a crafted piece or two and see what the new 24man can do for me.

Is the new dungeon locked behind the MSQ as well or can I unlock that otherwise? I can't EXDR anymore to try and get more tomes to increase my ilvl which is kind of counter productive.

So I think I'm going to come back to FFXIV now that my real life has settled down some. Are AST still in a good place usefulness wise? I last played at the end of the Heavensward (at least, I think that is right).

The new dungeon is from the side quest in Tamamizu, it's a continuation of the Four Lords story.

I swear I remember (MSQ end)the Ascians once mentioning something about members not showing up, or there being conspicuously empty chairs in their weirdo throne chamber, or something similar. Am I just inventing this in my head to make this even cooler?

They're on the old nodes for the dawnbright sand reducible items as new items, at least the botany one was. In the ephemeral node in the Doma Castle area of Yanxia, between 4 PM and 8 PM. Perception requirements for max appraisal are still generously low.

The writers are getting better. It's one thing to show off the obvious twist. It's another to hide another twist beneath it that still adheres to the lore.

Surprising no one, Elidibus has taken over Zenos' body. The hidden twist is that Zenos himself is still alive elsewhere, having (accidentally) used his Resonant-Echo powers to take over a common Ala Mhigan soldier a la the Sahagin Priest bodyjacking way back in 2.0. So it turns out both theories about Zenos' survival were correct.

As for the rest of the MSQ, I'll just say this: that wasn't the Primal I was expecting. Or more specifically, that wasn't the summoner I was expecting.

No seriously, I didn't get that at all from the MSQ. Unless you mean you think the mystery elf is actually Zenos.
