Re-subbed to try and finish up all the storyline missions I never got around to as well as Rhapsodies and I forgot how much of a slog a lot of the adoulin questlines/missions are. SoA and RoV fights towards the end can be a pain if you are not a certain jobs or have good gear.

Being able to have five trust out at once is worth it just by itself. The Curio Moogles sell echo drops, eye drops, prism powders, sneak oils, food, etc. The list goes on.

DizzyBum posted:Just started the Magicite mission and hoo boy I forgot how stupid the pre-reqs are for that. You have to collect all those key items that let you get through the beastmen strongholds. And you have to go to Beadeaux twice because of the two NMs you have to kill there. At least now it's actually fun to push through an area filled with hostile mobs with your own personal army. That is a fun part. You also have access to go to go and survival guide warps. That makes traveling a bit easier. Shinjobi posted:Got my Herculean Gloves finally. It is slightly better than the alluvion armor and weapon augment system. Cheaper and the stones are easier to farm are the only reasons why it is better.

Holyshoot posted:is gear swapping still a big thing? When I played a year ago on my WHM I had a bunch of different gear depending on what I was doing. Like I had a set for pre cast. mid cast and when the heal landed. As well as for buffing and other stuff. Also I read they made assault tags reset after 10 mins and salvage cool down 1 hour. Did they adjust einherjar or is that still a once a day thing iirc and requires at least 3-4 people? Gear swapping is still a thing. There is even a windower4 addon called Gearswap. You write or copypasta a lua file and then you can easily swap gear like a professional. Your best bet to get a linkpearl is to post in this thread when you are done downloading the game. Tell us the time you are going to play. Or you could just bug Frod. He loves to give out linkpearls. Just make sure to bug him as much as possible. He is often afk and only responds to /tells.

Eight-Six posted:I'm gearing up my Scholar and am almost done with getting the best non-escha gear I can get (fast cast, MAB/MACC/MBD stuff), mostly just missing AF3 feet and the Tenzen necklace, and maybe a few macc pieces that I'm still looking over. That being said, as a 8 JP holder, what all am I gonna be expected to juggle in an Apex party? I figure I'll at least be spreading storm spells, either Thunderstorm because Thunder V/VI is the strongest, or Hailstorm for the INT bonus, but anything else? Are kills slow enough to where I'll actually be getting stratagems back mid-fight? Am I going to be the sole MB maker? AoE regen? That depends on the party. You can be soloing all the way 6manning apex mobs. Usually a sch will be making skillchains so all the mages can magic burst. Sch can heal, enfeeb, nuke, aspir, buff, etc. The better you are at doing your job as sch the better the group will be. Just hope that you do not group up with someone named Concise on the Asura server. That guy had his head kicked in by a donkey.

Sprite141 posted:So how can I cause more mobs to spawn on boats? I need me some ice spikes, and I can only get one phantom to spawn during a boat ride. It's annoying. Level thf to 99. Grab sparks stuff or better. Queue up a playlist that won't make you bored. When you are waiting, watch a movie or whatever. Something you can pause so you can check if any mobs spawned that drop ice spikes. Or you can AH farm for it. Your chances are better with the boat farming. I doubt many people would farm this for gil. When you could farm alex or dyna currency for just as much effort and make more gil per hour. Good luck, I am in the same boat as you. I want ice spikes for my blm but it won't drop for me.

Sprite141 posted:I was running around buying a poo poo ton of red mage spells last night, and I noticed that meruba was chock full of people. What's going on there? Cause it was about as many people as I've seen in the game total so far. *Mhaura it has the ambuscade book an npc. The tome is used to start a queue for volume 1 or volume 2 for ambuscade. The ambuscade npc is used to get stuff for hallmarks and gallantry, as well as trade your jse cape and augment stuff to augment it. Spergs have more than two of the ambuscade jse cape. Good players have about 3-5, depending on the job. Geomancer you only really need one with pet regen+ and magic acc+ on it.

Sprite141 posted:Oh poo poo, that makes sense. Mhaura is a zone that you misspelled. Ambuscade is a level 99 endgame thing to do. You can solo it or queue up with 1 to 5 other people/friends. Runefencer and Geomancer. Runefencer is a greatsword wielding tank that specializes in magic tanking. Geomancer has bubbles and is currently the most in demand and powerful buffer in game. Bard is no longer king of buffs. Bard is still really good, but the typical pick up group will not bother with a bard if they can get a geo or corsair. You can solo most content with trusts with or a friend or two. The game is set up that way. Once you get a job to 99, you can get item level 117 armor and weapons from a sparks vendor. Use bg-wiki, ffxiclopedia, and google to help you learn the ins and outs of this game. Also asking in this thread can help.

OMGMYSPLEEN posted:So since the OP is around 3 years old, I'm guessing there is some new information on starting out in this game again. I have barely played it since I resubbed but I really want to. How should I be starting out anymore? The starting cities are ghost towns, and I am doing what I used to do so many years ago and just wandered around the starting area killing poo poo. Is there something new I should be doing to start? If you are not on the Asura server. I suggest you delete your character and remake on Asura. It has the highest population and it has the goonshell. Other than that, why did you pick up ffxi? To play a cetain job? To corner the wild onion market? Maybe it is for the story and cutscenes? Did Frodnon tell you he would let you look at his planet sized bottom? It is all of these and more. Go to by-wiki or Google and look for returning player ghides. They are plentiful. If you have more questions just ask. No starting city is any better than the others. Except for Sandoria's bagpipe music is painful when you have a head ache.

I feel the same way. When I was in high school I was not able to control myself and I would play all hours of the night. I would be sleepy all throughout the school day. Everything thought I was just stoned, it was funny. When I got to college, I focused more on my studies and getting laid, I still played mmos, but my goal was to not flunk out and get honey on my stinger. Did you have a similar experience?

On the ffxiah forum, they are talking about getting 10 job cards per card farming run of Omen. I hope this is close to accurate. FFXIAH has a tendency to exagerate. Like Frod talking about housing an entire immigrant family in his butt. When it was just cat and a dog.

Kortel posted:Starting to do RoV, they really escalated the level requirements for the popped fights. Did everything up to the Escha fight on low level summoner. BAM dead. Luckily have a slightly geared 97 Dragoon. About to do the Jungle fight next. Other than that it's been a treat so far. Teleporting is expensive unless you have a steady source of income/gil/Frod. Your only choice is to either convince someone to give you gil or to farm it up, you can buy it with real life currency if that jingles your jimmies(FROD!). Ambuscade is very farmable, you can go a quick ffxiah search for which currency sells the fastest and for the highest price. Cap out on those currencies each month. Then farm alexandrite, it is tedious, but it is worth it still. Good luck fellow Goon. Gruknor fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Oct 12, 2018 |
