Vermain posted:Well, that's a new one. FFXIV instantly shut down while I was wandering through Kugane; no error message or anything. Anyone else get something similar? My game got real fussy a few weeks back and would do this once every few hours or so, but it seems to have stopped recently. I wish I could be more helpful but the lack of an error message kinda ruins that. e: worth mentioning it wasn't just in Kugane, so I don't think it's something to do with the town

Last time I logged in I got tons of those weird items. What happens if I actually use them? Would I be surrounded by a veritable zoo of freaks all of a sudden? Are those creeps permanent or what? Can I store them? I think the last time I had a pet in a video game was my trusty donkey in Dungeon Siege I, I'm kind of out of the loop on pet technology

You can have one out at a time and they just kinda follow around behind you looking cute. Some will hop up on your shoulder and interfere with every gathering node you try to click on, but you'll be okay with it because wind-up Nanamo is a treasure.

When you use them it adds it permanently to your minion log, and then you can choose one to follow you around. They're mostly just gewgaws but there's also a mediocre RTS you can play with them at the Gold Saucer.

A bunch of opponents I've tried matches against seem almost impossible to deal with when I only have one card on par with theirs in my deck. Also, is there any rhyme or reason to whether you get one of the card drops after a match, or is it totally random?

Once you've collected enough cards you can have as many 3 stars in your deck as you want. 4s and 5s remain one of though.

Is it recommended to pursue any crafting or gathering classes while in the process of leveling up your first fighting job? I'm level 35 on my Ninja and I'm not sure if I should take a detour to do some crafting/gathering. From what I'm reading it sounds like I might want to at least get to the point in the MSQ where I unlock these Ixal beast tribe quests. I'm starting to wonder if it might actually be easier to play with my xbox one gamepad than keyboard; more skills might be easily accessible with a combination of the bumper buttons than are accessible with just 1-5 and ctrl 1-5. Once I get the other Ninja mudra things, which I think will be today since I just hit 35, I'm going to be hard pressed to fit anything other than main rotation and the mudra stuff on my "easily accessible with left hand" keys. Stuff like Execute, Mug, etc might have to get shuffled off to mouse click territory.

Unless you're really burning to try out crafting, waiting until you unlock the Ixal is suggested. Although if you get started now, you can try doing the daily turn-ins at your Grand Company for XP. You can do a little of both by just turning in dailies at the Grand Company (definitely do the ones with a star for the bigger bonus, the rest are "eh if you get to it") until you get the Ixal unlocked, though.

From what I'm reading it sounds like I might want to at least get to the point in the MSQ where I unlock these Ixal beast tribe quests. There's no harm in dabbling in them, but most people would argue you should at least get a battle class to 50 and complete up through "The Ultimate Weapon" quest first. There's a lot of stuff locked away behind MSQ, and you'll be in a much better place if you get access to some roulettes other than Leveling sooner than later. You don't have to drop everything and sprint to 50, but it's a decent point to stop and check out some other stuff. Especially since the post-50 content between ARR and the first expansion can be a little.....dry. e: also yes holy poo poo do your Grand Company daily turnins, they're incredible exp for very little effort. I got so many easy levels out of them it's unreal.

From what I'm reading it sounds like I might want to at least get to the point in the MSQ where I unlock these Ixal beast tribe quests. If you want? There are a bunch of systems that you can choose to not unlock or engage with in any capacity and it won't hurt your experience of the game. It always comes down to It's More Content. The quest stories are pretty good for the most part, they provide a reliable way to get Grand Company seals every day, and you can make some money on the side. Controller is the way to go. The targeting is a bit goofy and I struggle with it when there are a lot of characters on screen; however, the cross bar works very well and is a great way to cut down on RSI risk. If you use the extended cross bars, you can get a bunch of permutations for maximum buttons on your shoulder button hugging finger tips. I have mine set up for L2+L2, R2+R2, R2+L2, L2+R2 in addition to the L2 and R2 default. You can also adjust the time window for getting the extended xbars to show up in the settings. It's good.

Ah, I didn't realize that you had the flexibility to add various other combinations like ctrl-v (etc), or that you could have shift-modifiers. Shift-modifiers in particular will probably be enough for the near future. I'm a little hesitant to use keys like q or e, since that's really close to the wasd I use to move and I'm afraid I might mistakenly hit them. R, T, and V are far enough that they're doable, though.

If that worries you, it may be of interest to know that you can use MULTIPLE modifiers, like ctrl + shift + e, to make doubly sure you aren't firing them off inadvertently.

There's always the danger of accidentally hitting a key, but that's just a matter of getting the muscle memory down. I have Q and E set to basic abilities (Bio II and Physick on my SCH in that screenshot), so even if I accidentally hit them, it's not the worst thing in the world.

This game has a lot of buttons I've never had a problem with accidentally hitting Q or E when I didn't mean to, and they're easily my most valued hotbars; I use Q in particular for any OGCD I need to cast often (Jump, Acceleration), it's a great button and I strongly recommend including it in your repertoire

So far, the only minions I've seen from HoH are baby brachiosaur, Bom Boko, and Miniature Minecart. I already have all of those, so maybe I'll just give them away to some Cactuar goon. Hopefully I can get that Dwarf Rabbit, though.
