... Where do I get better Miner gear? I guess I thought I'd be able to exchange white scrips for it, but guess not. I imagine I'll be able to exchange purple scrips for it when I get to like, 90, but I'm 83 right now.

You can buy new mainhands from a tool supplier in Old Sharlayan near the docks, but other than that, 80 gear will take you the whole way.

Leves and Studium quests are prosperously fast.

Studium quests are fine but god don't waste leves on gathering when you could use those for crafters when collectables are just as fast and give something useful (scrip).

Collectables are only just as fast around level 86-87 when you have enough to do an actual run around the world instead of waiting for the 1-2 you have available. It takes like 3 leves/level to get over the humps the studium quests leave you in. It's fine to use them for gathering.

The only gatherer you really shouldn't use leves for is FSH. Just sit at one fishing hole and get your 300k xp per large fish until you can do the next studium quest, then sit at the pond it sends you to.

Ishgard Restoration + Ixal daily quests. Leves are good as well but I'd recommend saving most for later

You get around 6 leves per day, so you can afford to burn those if you want to be efficient. GC turnins can also be a good source of EXP, since, even if you don't wanna spend the time crafting an HQ item, you can usually just buy the item off a vendor and turn it in for a quick boost.

If you use that site you can track all the world fates by server and chance to activate. Formidable is old enough that people won't instapull it so you'll have a few minutes when it pops to get there.

I'm a wow transplant been playing since this past summer and got through all of msq and finished endwalker last week. Now I'm going about just discovering things in the game and stumbled upon palace of the dead or whatever that torghast was ripped off of and let me say just doing the first 20 floors was really fun, the sprite graphics are a cute touch and someone in one of my groups mentioned you get to keep the white weapon after a certain point?

Wow didnt come close if this is what they were going for.

You can also go to the Coeurl Discord server and specifically track Formidable as a FATE and they'll ping you whenever it spawns on any server.

Yeah you probably want to do that/join a linkshell anyway so if it spawns and you catch it you can call it out. I've encountered Formidables before where no one ever showed up

Yeah, after clearing floor 50 you can trade 30/30 of your aetherpool bonus to get the glamour. Though beware

I couldn't care less about it being unique or whatever and more about the fact that it's A) a FF5 reference and B) looks absolutely hilarious to see your character inside the TV. That wouldn't change even if Yoshi-P mailed one out to every active account tomorrow. :v:

I have kind of a weird ask: You know how the 2002 error popup is semi-transparent and you can see the queue number behind it, something you've almost certainly never thought about? I'm working on something very stupid and for it I'd like a fullscreen (or at least reasonably large) screenshot of the 2002 error with the queue number below, say, 1300 or so (the number at 1 would be absolutely perfect but I'm not too greedy/picky about my prospects here). If anyone has an image like that they'd let me use, I'd be very grateful. I've been trying to get it myself during my logins but (un)fortunately I haven't 2002'd in a while.
