Free trial to regular game works great, if possible i really recommend trying to get on the Excalibur server because it is actually the best and all 3 goon

Getting my Job Classes leveled is neat. Got WHM to 50 yesterday by grinding Command Missions. I wish they spaced those out better, though. You have no options for 40 - 50 aside from Stone Vigil. Replace Toto-Rak with something else!  I guess I'll grind up AST next and then work on tanks.

FF14 is a 100 hour JRPG where you occasionally group up with 3 to 7 other nerds for 30 minute chunks.

Stone Vigil is nice and bearable, yes, unless the tank doesn't turn the boss around and you get killed by the Frost Breath cleave. Or forget about the Ice Crystals surprise spawning on top of you after sending your squadron too far ahead for them to come back and save you in time.

I looked up the melding guide for Ala Mhigan crafting gear, and found that every single piece has a grade VI materia overmeld. I regret looking it up.

Don't take it as gospel. Most guides like that are literally just max stats with zero regard for efficiency or budget.

Finally reached my first 70 as a WHM!  So naturally I decide to do outdated Anima stuff. Can I get suggestions on what stats to focus on for my 240 points? I was thinking half piety/half determination, or piety/spell speed/determination. triad.

It's an outdated anima weapon, load it up with skill speed/fracture recast for how much use it'll give you beyond fashion.

You still have to use it to grind light. Just get full spell speed and det or crit so you can spam your DPS spells.

You don't need to have it equipped for the last step, you just need to be on the right class for it and have it in your inventory.

Do unsynched dungeons give the same amount of light as A1S and A9S light farms? I don't remember any of them giving more light than sturdy by default, and they would take much longer than a full light farming group.

It's easier than doing Savage runs though. You can solo the dungeons and they're braindead easy to do.

I just did an unsynched tam tara, and didn't get any light. Are you sure you are not confusing the old 2.0 relics, and the 3.0 animas? EDIT: it also took longer to do than an unsynched savage run with a level 70 group. Tenik fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Nov 12, 2017 |

Haukke HM gives the same amount of light but it takes around 8 minutes to do as opposed to the 3 and change for A1S. It's like 58-60 Haukke runs without a bonus window so yeah...

IIRC A9S is even better because it gives more light but you have to have a vaguely competent group for that. Also you can do A1S with 3 paladins, 5 DPS, and no healers.

I must say, I am finding the idea of cross-classing to a tank role pretty intimidating. Pretty much 90% of the time when a trial has gone bad it’s because a tank didn’t know what he was doing, and I keep thinking ‘oh jesus, that’s going to be me when I level my Marauder/Warrior’. DPS may have long queue times because there’s so goddamned many of them, but at least they’re easy and (relatively) low-pressure to play. Pile hurt on boss, stay mobile, switch to adds when they appear and pile hurt on them, and if you really gently caress up, the spare DPS folks can take up your slack. Easy. Done.

I still prefer to DPS overall but tanking is a fun change of pace and it is nowhere near as difficult or stressful as it might appear to be from the perspective of a squishier class. Give it a whirl sometime.

I recently finished an anima weapon and I did a mix of A1S and HM Haukke Manor. I caught A1S on bonus once and did so many runes in that window. I think at bonus it becomes equivalent to A9S? Was very easy.

I prefer to go through dungeons for the first time as a DPS, just to learn how it works and where to go, what the long pulls are, etc. That said, even if you're going through a dungeon for the first time as a tank, you're still just following the same rules you're always following in party dungeons: keep the aggro, do as much damage as you can, and walk in front of the party. Granted, you're setting the pace and the size of pulls, but that comes with the experience you'll get from doing the lower leveled dungeons first anyway. As long as you do most of your leveling outside POTD the game never throws anything at you that's a radical paradigm shift. Go for it! DRG was my first class and leveling PLD has been great and fun, as well as giving me the opportunity to help other players in the FC get fast queues and do more content. e: also whenever you gently caress up you can blame the healer

A fast but random and less sustainable way of getting sands is burning all your allowances on starting a leve, checking chest locations, abandoning the leve, and restarting again.

homeless snail posted:The fastest way is to grind levequest treasure chests for amber encased vilekin, iirc the fastest one is called Show Your Work in the Churning Mists. You stand on this rock right in the middle of the area, pop the leve, spin the camera around, if you see a treasure chest open it (for this particular leve all the chest spawns are in line of sight of this one rock), then cancel the leve and restart it. It'll take maybe 15-20 minutes to go through 100 allowances and its in the ballpark of a 10% droprate. That's still highly contingent on RNG. *I* personally found gathering to be far more reliable. In my case, it was just going out into the Dravanian Hinterlands and watching Youtube or a movie and then hitting a button on my controller every time it rumbled in the correct fashion while FFXIV was running in the background. But there are FAR easier ways to get red scrip these days to turn into blue tokens. Some of them even involve gathering or crafting things that are challenging!

the good thing about the level 60 relic for WHM is that you can stop once you have the 260 because the 270 + 275 version is bad looking.
