Just hit 50 on my first class/job! 50 BLM  Next thing to do on list is Sunken Temple of Qarn. It's the only dungeon I haven't finished pre-50 and I need it to rank up in GC (page 2 hunting log) so I can get my level 50 GC weapon.  Then after that, aside from endgame farming, I need to decide if I want to devote all non-blm time to my crafting (probably) or leveling SMN/SCH (meh..) jsr v2.0 posted:Has anyone had wildly varying spell timers on BLM? The only thing I can think of to cause this is a SCH pet buff, but aside from that, I don't know. I've noticed it too, but I'm too focused on other poo poo to see if it's from a SCH or not. Very likely is most of the time, but I don't remember if I have seen it solo.

Guys I got an Ifrit's Blade and a tank belt from AK and my GLA is 0..should I go ahead and level it? I ask because it seems like a lot of goons talk about tanking and I need to know FFXIV PLD is fun to play. Thanks in advance!

Also do you want anything for all that work? I only have like 25k but I could tip! Also, I can make level 40 or lower cloth items if you need any.

Cao Ni Ma posted:Looks like crystal tower is a 24 man dungeon that actually functions as 3 separate full parties with them being split up for chunks of the instance and coming back together for certain fights. Content updates will alternate between adding more stuff to coil and adding more stuff to crystal tower. Eventually they'll add buffs to players that are too bad to clear them normally so they can see the storyline. Does any of this contribute to limiting the grind for tomes to get past gated content like Titan? I've seriously quit playing my BLM and only worked on crafting because now that I'm at Titan I can't bring myself to grind out the gear neccessary. If it wasn't "Run the same dungeon 500 times" and instead "Run a few different dungeons with a chance at good drops" I'd be fine. :\

Pomp posted:As with people who say you need to gear up first for AK, it's just trying to cover up being unskilled with better gear. Titan is completely doable with a couple of pieces of leftover AF and a some white jewelry. It's just a hard fight. Mechanically, it's simple, but it requires you to be on the ball at all times after you kill heart. I have 100% AF and an HQ crafted 50 weapon currently. What do I need to change from this at a minimum to start doing Titan? Note: I feel confident in my DPS skills as a BLM.

When comparing FFXI to this game it helps to reference what era specifically. I know that the game starting getting better around ToAU, and once Abyssea hit things became super easy.

fadam posted:When people say that it's a good idea to crank each crafting class to 15 before leveling one to 50, is it worth spending allowances on leves for them, or is it possible to just get them all to 15 by just making things. You can generally level all crafting classes from 1-15 by sitting at the guild and buying mats. You shouldn't need to buy any mats from the market to get to 15, and crafting every item in your log at least once is almost enough in and of itself to get 15. You may need to do a few leves or spam craft a few items around 13 -15.

I've been enjoying the poo poo out of crafting, and that is killing lots of time. My blm has been sitting there awaiting relic completion since forever, but I keep crafting instead of farming tomes. v v

How does the game fare right now for someone not into raiding? Like do all the super dedicated DoH/L people have stuff to do or is it the same old sit in town and try to double star craft random poo poo for gil? What are the avenues of entertainment current for someone not intersted in raiding? I like the atmosphere of this game, but I don't know if it's worth coming back if I don't plan on progressing in PvE. (I left the game right before Crystal Tower was released)

Can an experienced DoH/L only player tell me what the game is like right now for that type of player? What is the typical daily or weekly plans for a player like this? Is there any incentive aside from making gil yet? Or is playing PvE still the be all end all of this game? I like PvE a lot, but having quit back before CT came out and then trying to come back now and relearn all the old and new encounters sounds kind of tedious. I know before I quit I was doing mostly DoH/L stuff anyways. The dps mages were my favorite jobs in FF11, and in FF14 they're much more boring. Egi's instead of avatars, restricted to only one or two egi's at endgame, lack of spell variety for BLM, lack of utility spells like having RDM. The FF 11/14 style universe is really fun to me though and that's why I was considering coming back. Maybe it's good to let it go? I don't know..thoughts?

Ok, so I finally am giving in to temptation with the upcoming release of Ninja and am resubbing for the first time since 2.0. It looks like a hell of a lot of stuff has been added since 2.0, which is awesome because I had quit due to there not being a whole lot to do at the time. I have a couple questions: 1. I assume there is no way to use a recruitment code if I already own the game and at one point had an active subscription? 2. What is the present state of crafting? When I quit I had all of the useful abilities as well as about 4-5 crafts at 50. I heard something about cross-class crafting gear? Also new level 70 gear? 2a. What sort of stuff do crafters make/sell for gil nowadays (Excalibur)? 3. I left off with a level 50 BLM and a newly formed relic staff. Haven't done any of the upgrades to it at all. How torturous will this be? 4. If I decide to forego my BLM in lieu of NIN..I assume my best bet as a crafter is to just craft up a bunch of HQ dex leveling gear, correct? And lastly.. 5. With all of the new content..is it more like present day WoW where I can just leasurely join a pickup group for raid stuff, or am I probably going to want a raid shell if I wanna do any endgame? Specifically, I am not really concerned with super hard to do content, but I would like character advancement as content is released.

RuanGacho posted:2.You are way way way behind, hope you have literally millions of gil to burn to catch up. Really? That bad? quote:5. While we have a lot of static endgame groups, most people don't complete the final content, there is 24 man player alliances which are more casual and drop gear that is secondary in quality to only the loot from the current absolute endgame. This is good news.

Killsion posted:The millions of gil is just for the Novus step, and even then, it's just if you want one with like maxed crit and det etc. Splitting the stats equalish between like acc/det/crit is significantly cheaper, and only slightly less optimal. My question was about crafting and he replied with millions of gil to catch up..soo was he reading wrong?

So since coming back yesterday after quitting in 2.0.. I got my halloween stuff done, unlocked all the hard mode dungeons, started the Hildibrand quests, started continuing the main storyline, unlocked Ixali dailies, gained desynthesis, hunt access, aesthetitican access, and glamour access. I'm sure I'm still missing a bunch of random poo poo. So I should be doing hunts and CT as a ilvl 59 BLM or only do hard modes right now? I plan on leveling up ROG/NIN and possibly changing to that as my main class as well. Also..I only have 130k..not sure where to start with gaining gil. I have WVR/CRP/GSM/CUL at 50 and the rest at 15-30~ for skills. I have full AF for the 50s (basically aside from materia, I was geared to max for 2.0 crafting).

Having to level a dps class to play a different dps class sounds so hellish. What are the recommended leveling routes from 1-34?

zolthorg posted:If yer not taking the effort to try most of the dps classes to 30ish (swiftcast, blood for blood, quelling strikes) you're probably not going to have as much fun anyways because you wont figure out which dps style you actually like playing. I am combining experience from FF11 with knowledge of FF14 classes and throwing in my own personal preference. Basically I like dps mages, but FF14s mages aren't super fun to me because BLM has too few spells, and SMN has dumb pets / uses DoTs. I enjoyed NIN but did not like DRG in FF11. MNK I liked in FF11, but leveling a PUG in FF14 seems slow and boring until later levels..at least up to 15 it sucked. You are right, though..I won't know unless I try them. I'll be getting LNC to 34 and probably keeping PUG at 15 for now.
