They've figured out there are enough people who care about finishing the run than leaving and taking the penalty that they can sit back and do zero work. It's cool.

So how much of a horrible experience is getting the 405 Physeos Weapon from Eureka?

You need 100 eureka fragments from BA, you get like 30 per full clear. It takes some work

Yup a lot of people just afk or don’t even bother hitting GCD in the crystal tower raids since they can usually be carried. Just sometimes they get stuck with other people like them and suddenly they have to actually play the game.

just typing in the chat "x is afk" without even saying "should we kick?" gets people to start using abilities about once every other GCD, at least.

Every time I yank a jawbone from a skull and ram it into an eyesocket, I know I'm building a better future.

So is there a trick to leveling up Fisher faster without using Leves? I am at 66 and I feel like it is going at a snails pace

Actually, Glasya is often a case of people trying too much. The average group has enough DPS to bypass his first enrage if you completely ignore the Wrights, but a lot of people still think you need to do them to clear the fight, so you get half of your DPS loving off to kill the robots, pushing your average DPS on Glasya down enough that you'll hit the enrage.

I preordered the xpac thru Square-Enix thinking it would be easiest that way because it would just automagically link to my account. Well I was wrong. And not only that but they don't want to accept any of my payment methods. For some reason they don't like my Visa. What the gently caress is wrong with Square Enix and their terrible online accounts and storefronts? It has gotten a little better since PlayOnline but man not much.

Anyway, long story short I got a preorder code thru them and then after they cancelled my order do to payment failing I preordered thru Amazon and got a second code.

So does anyone want a ShB preorder code?

I had the same thing and had to contact customer support before they took my Visa, and it still took them like 2 weeks to get back to me.

I just used my daily Namazu allowance for fishing and got it done in a fairly leisurely fashion.

You just pick up the missions on a gatherer and do what they say. Usually just means fishing in a specific spot.

I haven’t done it for fisher, but for botanist/miner it’s just obtain a quest item at one of the gathering nodes in the zone. I assume fisher is basically the same. Takes like a minute.

Square Enix store literally only exists because they sell stuff exclusively on it. If even one other store offered their stuff it would die in an instant it’s utter garbage poo poo.

I ordered the Lore books and spent 65$ shipping to Canada. It came via USPS -> Canada Post which took over a week.

I can order anime through a US site, pay 0 for shipping if I order over 250$, 25-30$ if under for FedEx shipping which usually takes less than a week. Square-Enix should be able to offer this level of service but over charging and not giving a poo poo way more profitable.

Yeah, it's dead simple. You buy one of the special baits from the merchant in the Golden Throne, go to a nearby river that they indicate, and fish. It should only take 1-3 bites at maximum to get the quest fish.

Bless you for asking before pulling the trigger.

You're locked into buying all your future expansions through Steam, and can never take advantage of the steeply ramping discounts that happen shortly before and after an expansion launch.

Furthermore, it has been indicated by the devs in the future (and through datamined login strings) that current Steam-purchased copies of the game will be forced to log in to Steam in order to fire up the launcher to punch in your password and authenticator code.

unfortunately i'm a big dummy and went ahead and bought the steam copy of the base game before seeing this.

What?

Do my gatherers have to be in the 60s for Namazu, or is it like Ixal and they don't care about level?

I'm almost at 70 on everything. I only need 3 levels on Monk and 10 on Dragoon. I think I can do it before launch.

Speaking of which, is there a way to make the Shadowbringers purchase count toward that Amazon promotion? I'm getting a digital copy on PS4.

Edit: And will I get early access if I buy now, so close to the release day?

Roulettes + beast tribe dailies get you pretty close to 2 levels a day so that sounds pretty easy actually.

Unfortunately the promotion doesn't work for pre-orders, and ends by release. Time cards count at least? But yeah, you'll still get all the bonuses if you do it now.

Also daily SB hunts, they take a bit of time (mostly travel time) but they add another few daily quests worth of XP IIRC.

I dont think leve's burn rested exp so thats one option you've got

e; oh wait nevermind you'd still be burning it while doing the mining for the leve. Sorry I was thinking of crafting leves

This is pretty quick if you have the cash.

Edit: I initially thought you meant buy fish for the quests, but that just reminded me the SE finally caught on and made everything you need to catch for those quests unique.
