Another cool gatherer tip: You can skirt by with vendor gear for the entire run from 50-60 and not run into any big issues as long as you keep gear updated. This ends very abruptly at 60 though, so either youre going to be paying out the rear end for HQ gear or you just put gathering levels on hold until you start getting your crafters up to 60 as well.

I don't know how someone could ever go back to WoW after playing FFXIV other than "all my friends suck and play WoW"

Control Volume posted:e: The commonly recommended crafter level path is everything to 15, CUL to 37, CRP to 50, and then everything else in whatever order. After those I kinda like ALC 50 for Comfort Zone and CUL 50 for Reclaim as they're fairly handy for attempting on-level HQ.

Vermain posted:I'd highly recommend getting CRP to 50 after CUL37 if you have any interest in leveling up your classes through non-Ixali/Moogle/Namazu dailies at all. It's hard to overstate how much easier Byregot's makes HQing, and HQing directly leads to more EXP gains via turnins/leves without having to pay through the nose. It's also good to get at least one class up to 50 so that you can start taking advantage of Moogle dailies and, eventually, Namazu/Deliveries. As long as you make sure you're crafting your own HQ gear at every level tier, making HQ crafts is pretty simple up to about the low 40s even without Byregot's. With leveled gatherer's, this is both cheaper than buying vendor gear and also avoids having to level a class to 50 with no omnicrafting support. e: WVR as your second level 50 class is a great choice too since thats what makes the brunt of your own gear.

Speaking of cross-classing, gatherers also get abilities from other classes. I can't figure out why though, the botanist and miner ones have no synergy. Am I missing something?

And at the barest of minimums, it can be handy to see in-game when an unspoiled node activates while you're on a different class, since Truth of Forests/Mountains is just a toggle. Not major reasons to cross-class, but it's more than zero.

With leveled gatherer's, this is both cheaper than buying vendor gear and also avoids having to level a class to 50 with no omnicrafting support. Yeah, as someone who leveled all classes together (they were all within 2-3 levels of one another, except Weaver which was like 7-8 levels higher from 1-50) it's easy enough to HQ everything for that range, so I don't really get the point of specifically grinding a single class up like that. It was a good idea for the skill you get at level 15 and 30 (or 37 or whatever), but I don't see the point of going for the 57 stuff like that. FactsAreUseless posted:The latter was my plan. Level everything to 50, then to 60, then to 70. You won't want to do this 50-70. You'll be wanting to maximize the XP you get from both Moogle and Namazu dailies, which means it's optimal to have one class doing Moogle dailies from 50-60 at the same time as another does Namazu from 60-70. So instead of stopping at 60, you'll want to keep leveling the 60 one using Namazu and Custom Deliveries, since otherwise that potential Namazu/CD xp is going to waste. For example, right now I'm focusing on Carpenter and Blacksmith; the former is 58 (and doing Moogle dailies + Zhloe Custom Deliveries) and the latter is 68 and doing Namazu dailies + one of the other Custom Deliveries. My Blacksmith did Moogle dailies while my Weaver, which is 70 now, was doing Namazu ones.

I use all my custom deliveries for 60+ DoH because large-scale leves are opaf for 50-60. You can get a DoH from 50-60 once a week by using your large-scale tradecraft leves if you hand in only or mostly masterwork material.

Rainuwastaken posted:What about the fate do people fail? I haven't seen anything but Ovni in regards to BA yet. It's the fate that is spawned outside by the inside party. It has two things that really gently caress people up. One is an AoE that is kind of glitchy if you're standing on a ledge. The other is that it has things that need to be dispelled and nobody thinks to bring dispel to it, *even people who've seen it before.*

And never forget GC turn-ins! The exp bonus ones are always worth doing. The normal ones kind of suck rear end, but if youre out of leves, its your only option beyond collectibles which really suck rear end for leveling.

The Dragoon 50 quest turned out to be a double whammy because not only is it a copy paste of the Monk 50 quest, you also get rewarded with cool looking armor, except it's missing the entire midsection if you're a girl.

FactsAreUseless posted:I would always rather just gather materials on my own than do leves, because I get to keep the materials. I mean for crafting. Crafting leves are your only viable alternative to Ixal quests and GC turnins from 30-50, unless you can find an intermediate craft that sells really quickly that you can grind out for exp/money.

If you have the brilliant idea to accept say a level 70 quest and try to turn it in on your level 14 DRG, the game will let you pick up the quest but it won't let you turn it in. The devs considered that you might try to cheat. Cause duh that's like the first idea you'd have with an alt.

FactsAreUseless posted:I just hit 50 on Miner, what do I do to get a full set of 50 equipment? I got the Forager's Pick on the MB, but it looks like both the level 50 sledgehammers are going to require me to level Blacksmith. I can't find info on armor - I'm not seeing crafter armor sold in Mor Dhona like tools. What world are you on? If it's Exodus I can craft you some gear sometime.

And if it's your first job, it's really quite an impressive feat of blinders-on single-minded dedication to the MSQ, to end up underleveled for anything. Even a handful of leveling roulette runs as you go, along with selectively doing only the sidequests that either a. unlock something or b. reward gear upgrades, should leave a player at least slightly overleveled.

The complete gap in the ARR main story between 46 and 49 is pretty fresh in my mind tbh, there were so many pacing problems in the whole latter half of that quest chain. I think I had to start doing leveling roulette for every level between 43 and 49, but then shot up to 52 almost immediately after I hit 49 because of all the MSQ exp at the end.

I said come in! posted:I haven't played FFXIV in awhile and was wondering if anyone had a single target DPS rotation for machinist? My character is level 60. The guides I am finding are outdated. Rook, Hot Shot (if you start with 0 ammo), Reload, Split, Slug, Split, Hot Shot (if you started with three), Reassemble, Quick Draw or w/e it's called, Hypercharge, Wildfire, Clean, Gauss Round, Quick Reload, Slug, Ricochet, Clean, and then you just fish for procs for the remainder of Wildfire and until you have Reload again. Then you focus on Split/Slug/Clean until you get Reassemble/Quick Draw/Wildfire back. You'll use Hypercharge every second time. This is assuming you're fighting something that can survive long enough to use Wildfire on in the first place. You have to be more flexible about it when you're in a dungeon and especially while soloing. Once you level up a bit more you won't have to fish for procs at the end of Wildfire because you'll have Cooldown. Zack Ater posted:Ah. Sorry
