Eorzea as it’s pitched to you in the early game is as fake as Disney, it’s all built on a foundation of war and oppression and you’re just the brute force tool they use to make sure that they maintain their power.

Some fates around eastern than imply Qiqirn aren't allowed to barter with the merchants, and can't get jobs either, meaning they have no money for food. The tavern near thanalan has a fate involving qiqirn raiding it because they really don't have any gil to just buy it. (Also, Qiqirn are constantly hungry, and need food for their high metabolism) In limsa, you can see at least one or two Qiqirn making an honest living selling some stuff. I was honestly shocked in the 4.1 patch story that Lyse somehow managed to convince the Ala Mhigan Qiqirn that are out-right stated maneaters (even in the msq!) to come to the meeting with a representative. How the hell did Lyse do that?

Qiqirn were gonna be a beast tribe and it probably would have went in to this, but they noticed people liked the namazu better so they swapped them out. There's still the beginnings of the Qiqirn story in the game though, with the brightly colored coated Qiqirn being the good guys and you help one of them in a stand alone quest.

My guess is that they may not always have been maneaters but Garlean rule has made them even worse than before. So Lyse probably just showed up and invited them. And then punched enough Qiqirn until they were willing to listen.

FactsAreUseless posted:Is running Levequests the best way to level a low-level DPS? Is it still faster to just run dungeons? How low-level are we talking here? Sub-15 I believe there's some merit to battle leves. After that yeah, lldr and dungeons. Hunt log and Challenge log is also good, especially the FATE ones since they can be quick, easy exp. Squadron dungeons especially if it's a dps.

Like I can knock off about 40-60% of a level in maybe 15-20 minutes. LLDR can give you more, as can spamming dungeons probably, but sometimes I just feel like grinding brainlessly.

FactsAreUseless posted:Is running Levequests the best way to level a low-level DPS? Is it still faster to just run dungeons? Dungeons when you can get them, but otherwise run Confidence category leves: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Battlecraft_Leves In particular, Adamantoise Tears in S. Shroud is a real good leve at level<35 since you can complete it without fighting any monsters. If the person that assigns the leves isn't showing it, just take another and blast through it with a leveled class until it does show. You can also do Cower to the People in Coerthas, but that's a bit tricky to do if you don't have access to sleep spells to stop enemies from interrupting interactions with the quest items. There's one HW Confidence leve but S-E got wise to people grinding them and made the interaction timer take real long and spawn in a ton of monsters, so that's no good. edit: Oh right, I completely forgot about squadron missions/POTD. I remember that grinding POTD 1-10 use to be the fastest way to get to 50(60?) after like, 40, but that's probably not accurate anymore. People are still hot on squadron missions but I had everything at 50+ when it came out. That's fine for me because I thought that content was miserable to do. staplegun fucked around with this message at 09:34 on Jan 23, 2019 |

It's a hectic place to try and run. Also if you try and reform things they'll kill you and anyone you ever loved.

SonicRulez posted:Merlwyb is unjustly vilified because Y'shtola dropped a sick burn on her forever ago. Naw. Under Merlwyb, Limsa Lominsa was founded by driving the kobolds from their land. The "Limsan" tradition of metalworking was developed primarily by kidnapping, enslaving, and then forcing kobolds to teach their metallurgy techniques on pain of death. You'll note that there are no descendants of those slaves still living in Limsa. Oh well I'm sure they were sent home unharmed with backpay. In fairness to Merlwyb, she is also basically a tribal warlord trying to turn a migratory warband into a settled nation state and her authority has long been more in name than in fact. She was walking a razor's edge of maintaining the consent of her band of ex-pirates and freebooters. Captain Oblivious fucked around with this message at 12:46 on Jan 23, 2019 |

Levequests can be pretty decent for xp from 10 to 60 if you do them in a party. They don't scale in size so several working together can crush combat leves in seconds, and you all get full xp when you turn in your own quests. Each party member might not get the exact same leves but that doesn't cut into your time spent all that much. If your party comp allows it you are still better off running dungeons, but if you have a bunch of friends who want to level up jobs at around the same level range, leve spamming and jumping on any FATEs that appear nearby isn't a bad option to get some xp while chilling with buds.

The kobolds were hostile from the onset, unprovoked. This doesn't justify the terrible things Limsa did afterwards, and it doesn't justify Limsa violating the peace treaty that was signed under Merlwyb's tenure to which she admits fault. But she doesn't hold responsibility for all of Limsa's bloody history. Just the most recent bits.

Meicyn posted:Nah man, Merlwyb became Admiral in 1563. Limsa was founded in 874. Merlwyb is in her 40s. It's been a hot second but there's at least one FATE chain that goes into detail about the breaking of the peace treaty and claiming that the Kobolds aggressed first doing it. Whether you wanna go hunting for that lore is another story. Also Limsan is basically an island with only so much room to grow, running into its maximum sustainability even without the fact that the Sahagin get uppity about any sort of fishing that they don't clear and Limsa constantly being on turf war with the Kobolds. Merlwyb ain't a saint but a lot of people here like to call her a tyrant when 1) the situation is aittle mpre complex but 2) your introduction to Limsa is through Yshtola who readily admits she's biased and hates the place. In conclusion Eorzea is a land of contrasts, thank you
