Edit: oh no, a page snipe. Here's a glamour shot I took a couple days ago that I was really happy with.

If you have to ask, Spell Speed. You need a certain amount of spell speed to hit your ideal number of casts comfortably. The exact number will depend on your personal ping, the content you are doing, and your knowledge and placement during fights. In theory, crit and DH can give you slightly more damage once you reach your personal break point for SS on a fight, but iirc that break point is going to depend on a ton of variables and the exact fight you are doing. It's more practical to stack spell speed and get as many casts as possible without movement being an issue.

Is there any sells on Stormblood?

I preordered Shadowbringers but I don't want to be stuck at 50 until 7-4.

Yeah spell speed not only makes your damage go up but it directly makes the class more forgiving which is huge, to me at least. Sadly no other caster ever wants it, so your melds can get awkward.

I've been casually making my way through the free trial over the last two or three weeks now and am closing in on the level cap in my main job--White Mage to my surprise, I wasn't expecting to enjoy playing a healer--so I'm ready to actually buy the game. Is the deluxe version worth the extra cost? Is there anything in the goodies that's actually worth getting or is it all pretty much cosmetic/inessential? Also once I'm upgraded, is there a FC I can join on Excalibur that doesn't require learning how Discord works?

I'm dumb, old and set in my ways and even I managed to get in. Pretty sure you just go to discord's website, set up an account and follow the few steps in the op. It was super easy. You don't even need the app if you don't want to bother with it.

Part of the reason I set up the auth process is as a basic screening for whether people can follow simple directions and understand rules so that they are less likely to cause problems in the future, and I’m not especially sympathetic to people who can’t manage that...

Yo. I'll shoot you a pm and we can talk about what you were thinking.

Sorry to the guy that had the balmung large. I did spend the starter fund and got something going on the bottom floor, but I just don't think I can do projects off Excalibur. I break up housing stuff with roulettes or whatever, and working on a different data center just didn't work for me.

Huh, I was a lot closer than I thought but this answers my questions of what the gently caress you're supposed to do with Flare at 68. I think I misunderstood the trait description.

edit: Spell speed or crit chance, if I ever get to the point to start melding materia and focusing on one?

Spell speed until your comfy, then crit. I like around 1900 SS if I can manage it.

I used to think that cross server stuff would loving suck but apparently the prices on Excal are extremely low and people are sucking up everything I list everyday. I come back to hundreds of thousands of gil on stuff that never move. I'm emptying my retainers and my own inventory at a crazy rate, its like back on SB launch when I hell grinded gatherers. Stuff is just flying off my retainers.

The downside to cross server stuff: it's gonna take me vastly, vastly longer at current queue times to get the Makai mounts. Went from 5~ minutes as a freelancer to 20+ in queue.

But duty finder has been integrated across the whole data center for, like multiple years? Sometime mid-HW IIRC. I don't think 4.57 changed anything whatsoever related to queuing. (For the same reason, swapping to a different server to accept a single player duty in a Raubahn EX situation is not going to change anything - there are separate servers for these and they're allocated across the entire data center.)

What I mean is: I'm on Gilgamesh, and now Balmung/Mateus have been moved to a different data center, thus reducing the available pool of people queuing for PVP on Aether considerably.

Housing project is going strong! So far we have the backyard looking presentable and I thought the best way to commemorate that is to take pictures. However, I am inept and completely unable to embed everything I want into the post. Therefore, here is an album. I trust you will all click it and look through my hard work.

Are goons staying on Excalibur?

What are everyone's thoughts on this server guide? https://old.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/bg78ct/a_comprehensive_server_guide/

I'm on Goblin currently. Can I move to ANY NA datacenter/server? Or just the ones on Crystal with me?

Goblin seems relatively quiet overall but I'm still in ARR. I know I want to raid/do end game stuff eventually. I also like an active server with a healthy pop and good market.

Exactly. To whit, the first thing I used the world visits for was to make an outfit on my main and send it to my Excal alt (via a go-between goon).



The second thing was to also pass over an entire 15-50 levekit. :v:
