Yeah, the paladin quests are basically "Yeah, the paladins are compromised as well because Uldah and everything in it is terrible."

The biggest deal most powerful and storied Paladin, Nanamo's personal defender and leader of the historic forces during the 7th Umbral Calamity is in I think 1 of the 30-60 PLD quests but is a regular cast member of the GLD quests and the 60-70 PLD quests that star the GLD guild again.

I do think the next tank job should use a shield of some kind. I was thinking "giant tower shield plus a lance or hammer/flail" or something like that, but "the shield is a gunshield and is your main weapon" would be pretty sick, too.

Magres posted:For both of these, would y'all be willing to elaborate a little on these things? I'm kinda wanting to get into crafting but it's a really intimidating game system and I constantly feel like I'm loving up basically always. For starting crafting: I basically took the maximum effort approach and was leveling all my crafters evenly since I figured I’d save on time overall for getting crafting mats and equips. I don’t think that’s necessary if you want to favor one or two at a time tho If you’ve joined a Grand Company you should be able to do supply and provisioning turn ins. You can see a list of them under Timers (I think it’s in the duty tab of the main menu?) or at the GC counter. They refresh daily and have some random item at your current level range for each unlocked crafting job that you can turn in. Normal quality turn ins seem to be worth at least half a level, and a high quality version of the turn in is double that I think. You can also have a random number of the turn ins “starred” where they give even more exp. Just starting out you can usually find some good deals on items you’d be turning in or their mats. There’s a couple awkward spots though where a mat is just really rare and drives up prices. I think undyed felt is one that I noticed where it’s a level ~30 mat that’s going for like 3k a piece. Anyways my advice is take it slow and just try to craft a couple items a day for turnins when you don’t have a class quest to do. I enjoy the crafting mini game now that they’ve simplified it and the shopping list I have to build up for gathering and intermediate mats is a nice break for me while waiting for duty finder.

For reference: the last time I was playing was at the start of Stormblood and every crafting class had 3 or 4 abilities you could unlock for every other crafting class so it was this huge confusing web and you either spent a lot of time figuring out how it worked or you punched your info in to a tool that gave you an optimal rotation macro for crafting an item Now every class has the same exact skills (at least in to the mid 50s) and I haven’t had to look up anything at all to HQ most of my stuff. The first 10 levels are pretty straightforward anyways since iirc all you’ve got is the more quality and more progress buttons

I'm kinda wanting to get into crafting but it's a really intimidating game system and I constantly feel like I'm loving up basically always.  For Grand Company turn-ins, you get a set of semi-random requests from your Grand Company every day that you can turn in for experience and grand company seals - one for each discipline. You get more of each for high-quality turn-ins, and you also get more of each if the requested item(s) are starred. It's semi-random because there's only like 3 items from each level range that are actually in the pool, but otherwise it's from normal things you can craft/gather (shown here is around levels 58-60; that little note next to Serpentskin Gloves is telling you that it requires a Mastery recipe to craft). Something that makes these "easy" experience is that you can just buy the items off the market board.  Beast Tribes have daily missions you can do (up to 3 per questgiver, to an allowance of 12 daily), and there's one crafting tribe per expansion including ARR (gathering is a little weirder; the Stormblood tribe quests can done for crafter or gatherer, and Shadowbringers has a dedicated gatherer tribe, but ARR and HW are for crafters only - but the ARR tribal quests need gathering unlocked for some missions). The things you have to craft are generally on the easier side (provided you're keeping up on gear at all), and if you screw up you get free materials to try again. Turn-ins get you some pretty nice experience, and you can actually do the crafting part on any job (the recipes are available to all crafters), so you can use one turbo-leveled crafter to do the work for bringing up the others with even less effort, should you choose. I'll also note that leves are available for all crafter/gatherer level ranges and, like GC turn-ins, you can buy the items off the market board. You get 100 allowances maximum and they recharge at a rate of 3 every 12 real-world hours. There's also the Firmament in Ishgard once you're done with the 3.3 patch story. They're also special crafts using materials you can gather in the Diadem (or buy off the market board), and the experience for good quality turn-ins is amazing from levels 20-80. Bit more high effort than other options, since you will have to make your own turn-ins and they have to be done on the job you're leveling, and you want your gear to be up to date. Custom Deliveries start in Idyllshire at level 57 and give good experience and scrip (tomestones for crafters/gatherers, essentially), but you only have 12 turn-ins per week and only 6 per questgiver (which means until you get your second one unlocked you'll be stuck at 6 per week).

I asked about leveling crafting/gathering a week or two back in the new players thread and got lots of helpful responses. I was picking up the gathering classes and Culinarian I had gotten to around level 60 a couple years back and I have them at 90 now. I tried a lot of different things but just gathering/crafting collectables seemed to be the fastest + the job quests/the daily GC handins give a lot of exp too (Ocean fishing is apparently v good for fisher but I forgot it existed) It does kind of feel like you're defeating the point of the class by mostly doing collectables though...most of my exp from 60-90 on Culinarian came from cooking like 5?? different collectable dishes repeatedly so I wanna go back and fill out the log

Vermain posted:There's no real rush with new master recipes being a fair ways out, so I'd honestly recommend doing it via Beast Tribes instead. I am chipping away at getting crafters to 90 with the "comfy slow" method, basically just buying whatever GC starred turnins are up that day and using studium/deliveries to even things out as applicable. Definitely not gonna bother with leves or grinding collectables, though the lore bits in the leves are fun

I feel like I help the healer a lot on my warrior with woryor shenanigans, but not enough that I basically never really need to be healed. But also I suck at warrior so First things first - make sure your gear is up to date. For dungeon pulls, I pop bloodwhetting right after I get the big pack together. Right after that I'll pop arm's length. The combo of the slow from arm's length plus the self heal and shield from bloodwhetting will keep you really from dropping from near max hp. After the second big self heal I'll pop rampart. As my HP hits around 50% (which is now around 7-8 seconds left on the bloodwhetting cooldown) I'll pop equilibrium and thrill of the battle. Those will heal me to near max, and the HoT from equilibrium is enough to basically carry me over until bloodwhetting is off of cooldown. If you have good dps with you, the pack is already dead and you save bloodwhetting for the next pull. On pull 2, I'll usually start with vengeance up front (since arm's length is on cooldown) and toss on a rampart if things are spicy. In either case, if I'm worried at all and don't have a healing button ready, I'll pop shake it off which gives you a 15% hp shield that is boosted even more if you have thrill up. You've got a pretty robust toolkit on warrior.

I haven't actually tried Ocean Fishing yet cause I've been focused on other things and have a twinge of like "I probably should know what Im doing before I try it?" - any time the thought of trying it has crossed my mind, it wasn't close enough for me to sit around and wait for the next one. From a max level perspective: Like, do I need to prepare for ocean fishing? Does it matter what bait I bring? How hard is it getting the unique rewards?

Preparation is important to rack up the points to get those rewards, I used this guide and this database: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/f95w2o/a_detailed_definitive_guide_to_ocean_fishing/ https://ffxiv.pf-n.co/ocean-fishing/fish The main note is to have inventory free space so you're not panicking and dumping stuff out of your bag on the boat because you're out of room like I did lol
