Dancer is a good sub for it's sneak and invis jig. If you don't have any of those unlocked yet, it takes about only a bit to level them. If you have spare gil, sneak and invis potions also work, but you're essentially throwing money away every time you get lost.

I'm officially done trying to unlock jobs at level 30, I went to go to the lake in the past for the Dancer unlock and some ladybug aggroed and hit me for 330 damage.

Caps aren't targets, they're limits set up to save the most broke-brained among us from ourselves. I really wouldn't worry about sparks (or anything) in FFXI other than having a good time vibing. FF14 mercifully has low currency caps and low weekly caps so a lot of people quickly hit cap and then try to find something fun to do instead of grinding whatever.

Verbose posted:Jesus I don't have the time to grind that many per week lol FFXI is a long term game and you'll be spending a lot of time in it just grinding things out and waiting. Having a social circle to turn to in game helps, in both terms of having a helping hand with things you're having difficulty with and to steer you in the right direction in terms of most efficient use of your time. If you're on Asura, you should join the discord linked below and see if someone is willing to escort you around to the various areas you need to hit to unlock jobs and such. CodfishCartographer posted:Come join the discord! We've got a few active goons on Asura, and more that pop online now and then during free trials or when they feel like wasting money etc. Very chill community that enjoys helping folks out.

And how many sparks can you spend per week (the Unity Accolade version of the sink is Prize Powders, which you have to buy in stacks of 99 but are also 1 accolade:10 gil for a max of 99999 spent for 1m gil a week as well - it does add up even if you're not hitting cap every week!)

I like how you can't use trusts in BCNMs. Also I'm on Bahaumut, the quickstart guide says explicitly not to go on Asura lol

Bahamut owns. Felt active without being the cluster that is Asura. That said I don’t think anyone I used to play with, either from 2009 or when I re-subbed three years ago, is still active. If you get really stuck on something I could put out the batsignal on my old Discord.

Some dumb goons might transfer to Bahamut for the MrHappy thing, might make sense to start a goonshell. If someone is doing this please make sure you are a lifelong player and not someone who will quit after 3 days TYIA.

Should I just level Warrior or something? Dancer and Ninja and Runefencer are supposed to be good subs for Thief but I don't think I can reasonably unlock them as a fresh 30 with no other jobs.

Dancer and Rune are easy with mounts. Ninja you have to kill NMs and you'll need sneak/invis but the NMs are very weak the only issue is there are three of them so you might get got at level 30 before your trusts can help you. Whenever I made a new character I would just take WAR to 50 first and do LB1 and 2 and then level whatever I actually wanted to level. 50 WAR can unlock any job with ease and can do a good chunk of the early Rhapsody missions (basically everything up to Siren) and get some of the Key Items. Edit: Also WAR can be subbed to any melee and it will serve you well. THF/WAR is perfectly fine for leveling.

If THF is your main just level WAR or MNK as a sub, it doesn’t matter at all for leveling with trusts.

i was determined to unlock corsair as soon as possible and let me tell you that's a job that's incredibly obnoxious to unlock if you're still new

The only thing will need some kind of sneak/invis method and or mounts to make unlocking all the jobs possible. Get to 30 and worry about these things.

We transferred last night to Bahamut and going from a server with just averaging 200 or so ppl to 1000+ is shocking. I'll probably miss how quiet it was.

I'm on Bahamut as well. When I'm actually subbed (soonish, I have one update left stored in the LP tank) feel free to ask for whatever.

Real talk I dove into this game super casually and just followed a guide and did some basic roe stuff and I was tripping over so many sparks and so much gil it was spilling out of my rear end, powders and oils were zero tax on my budget you'll be fine

Was wondering where some of the Horizon streamers went. That's too bad. Probably some deranged retail enjoyer driven mad by the dominance of Horizon on twitch.

Nope, it's SE doing DMCA take downs. Which is why I find it hilarious. They're doing what Blizzard did to private WoW server streamers. Quite a few are feeling "targeted" for no real reason.

The community stream Twitch chat being absolutely full of people talking about private servers probably did not help, although obviously I doubt a NA community stream is the driving factor.

Gods help me but I'm thinking of coming back and seeing what this game is with the return event going on next weekend. Given that it seems to imply making a new character will kick you out of the free status, I take it transferring worlds is also unavailable to me and I'll be stuck in whatever hellscape quetz(?) has become?

Pretty sure you can pay for a transfer? I recall doing that on a free weekend almost a half decade ago. Christ.

No idea why you'd ever go anywhere else, Asura has mercs to get content cleared without relying on randos and also randos to get content run without relying on mercs.

A prevalent guide writer, Spicyryan, has a grudge against how many mercs and bots there are on Asura, and so in his guides directs people away from the server. Some prominent FFXIV content creators presumably saw this advice and took it at face value, and thus started advising others to go elsewhere too. The thing is, other servers don't actually have more people playing, there's just fewer bots / mercs in chat polluting things. Asura is still the server with the highest active player base, and while there is a lot of chaff to filter out of chat (either with add-ons or the in-game chat filter), the bots / mercs very rarely directly interfere with gameplay.

He also is one of the main editors of bgwiki, he's the reason there are terrible jokes hidden in alot of pages. He's also the reason there are two reddit pages, he got banned from the original and made his own. Currently he's a 'dev' (read: ideas guy) on one of the private servers. I don't know if he even plays retail anymore.

To add on to this, the bots also provide a service for the pointlessly grindy poo poo you don't want to do anyway (Job Points/Master levels) so it's a net benefit to have them around.

On the other hand every other server has at least 90% less racist/homophobic/sexist/etc poo poo being said in shout chat (or, at least did when a bunch of streamers weren't playing). Doesn't mean the other servers are free of it, but it's super concentrated on asura. EDIT: basically play on an empty server until you decide you're at a point where you want to hire mercs, pay $10 and world transfer.

Overwhelmed with the urge to reactivate my account and jump back in, only to find that, having forgotten my registration password and my emergency removal thing, it is literally 100% impossible to login to either the security token 2factor thing or my square enix account. Lol. Tried submitting something to support to remove the 2factor component and gave them the original serial number I was issued when I first installed the authenticator but it is completely insane to me they haven't improved POL at all and in fact have made it much worse somehow ed: wow they must get a lot of those cus they fixed that poo poo instantly. I guess I'll log back in and see how I feel about my level 99 RDM. I wanted to get BRD to 99, which has been an aspiration of mine since I was 13 Frog Act fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Jan 19, 2024 |
