My normal healing method is that dungeon trash gets AoE-ed while I have the tank targetted, and bosses get focus-targetted and I use F keys or clicking to heal party members

I hope it doesn't seem like I'm arguing, because I just want to understand, but wouldn't it be better to do /target <ft> /focustarget /target <tt> then focus the tank at the beginning, and then you can just mash that button (R3) to automatically switch between the boss and the main tank? If I understand the macroing system right, this allows me to always spend the most time dps-ing the boss / tanks target, gives me a quick swap to the tank, and still allows me to soft target the other players depending on damage dealt. Or am I completely misunderstanding this? The macros just seem cool, and this is my first MMO I want to say ever, but that can't be right.

Eureka can be reached from Kugane after completing the quest Stormblood. Edit to be clear that's a level 70 quest. Kwyndig fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Jul 27, 2021 |

That would work, so you aren't entirely off-base. But the whole point of the soft target/hard target system is that it makes it really easy to send just one spell at a non-main target and then return to your main target without pressing any additional buttons. So ideally, you want your hard target to be whatever you plan to spend the most time aiming at, and use soft-targeting for less frequent targets, to take advantage of that. If circumstances change and you expect to want the tank as your hard target (because a lot of damage is going out or something), then having R3 switch your hard target is pretty useful, and this is the behavior you get if you set R3 to be "Assist Target" in the drop down menu, with no macros necessary (and I can attest to it being somewhat useful, since I have it mapped that way myself)

Chillgamesh posted:Another big "holy poo poo" moment for me was realizing you could right click the top of basically every window in the game and scale its size up or down. No more zooming in all the way and still having to squint at your dude when you're previewing gear, scale that poo poo to 200%! With regards to UI customization, another handy tip I learned recently: you can get HUD elements to snap to the grid by holding down Shift, and move them pixel-by-pixel with CTRL + the directional keys.

When you change jobs do you redo all of the quests you did in your first job or do you level up on open side quests and dungeons or something?

Side quests don't give good XP, they're only for flavor and gear, basically. You get XP from doing dungeons, duty roulettes, beast tribe quests, and side activities like Palace of the Dead or Bozja.

Shugojin posted:It's slightly more complicated than that, the armory bonus works as 100% more if you are more than 10 levels difference from your highest and then switches to 50% when you are within 10 Not quite. The armory bonus is 100% for levels 1-69, 50% at 70 and above. So it works like you say if and only if you have a max level job. If your highest level job is 35 then you still get a 100% bonus for all jobs level 1-34. Side note: different XP bonuses stack additively, and they don't apply to every source of XP. If you have the armory bonus (+100%), the XP ring from doing The Smith's tutorial (+30%), an XP earring from an expansion pre-order (+30%) and rested XP (50%) then you get 210% total for a 3.1x XP multiplier when murdering things. Almost all XP bonuses only apply to XP from kills, not XP from quests or anything else. Exceptions: the armory bonus also applies to Levequests and FATEs, but not other quests. Road to 70 applies to absolutely everything. Combat job XP sources, in some sort of rough order of value: - Roulettes - Highest Level Dungeon - Palace of the Dead, Heaven on High and Bozja - Hunts - Beast Tribe Dailies, Side Quests, Levequests, FATEs For starting a brand new job, do your class hunt log plus job quests, and kill wildlife indiscriminately until 15. At level 15, do a leveling roulette/day and otherwise run high level dungeons. Clear hunt log targets while in queue. Possibly do Palace of the Dead if you enjoy it.

They unlock after you unlock the regular leves introduction quest given at your starter inn. Once you complete that first leve unlocking they will say "oh you should go try these" and have you talk to the guildleve person. Just did this the other day on an alt and it's still the way it works.

Depending on your data center and world the crafting materials can be a passive source of income too. But the quicker-moving stuff is behind the higher ranks. EDIT: This is if you're not on the free trial. If you're on the free trial, glamour prisms are probably the biggest one because your only other source of prisms is crafting and that can take time.

The gear your Grand Company sells for company seals is very good for the 1-50 stretch, so it's worth an investment in those if you have any jobs you're currently leveling up.

Regalingualius posted:So now that I’ve unlocked Summoner, are the two original ones I got from Arcanist completely irrelevant, or are they still worth keeping on the hotbars? Keep 'em, they get upgraded into egis later. Also, there's a quest you can find back at the arcanists guild at level 50 that will let you turn them all back into carbuncles if you want, even Ifrit. Just cosmetically of course, they still do the same things.

Summoner progresses a little weird but basically those two buttons will still be used, but you're soon going to replace the things they summon with stronger versions. That said you can remove the yellow one because there's really no situation you're gonna need it. Green for AOE and red for single target is about all you need to know.

Basically, your green carbuncle/egi is used when you want to aoe (3+ enemies), your red one is used when you want single target. The yellow one is mostly useless. Every so often you'll find a bit of solo content where its shield is useful, though
