Few pages back, but this is actually untrue. I have been running trial roulette every day since 3.0 hit and I have done up to Greg 1 and no further, because it failed to live up to the lofty and bandwagon-y goon hype.

I don't know at what point trial roulette DOES unlock, but you don't need Hildebrand done, that's for sure. It's completely optional content.

This changed in the 3.0 patch, thankfully.

What other people said, I basically bought this game just for Monk.

Monk is super enjoyable with the simple creation of two macros, one for all of your rear positionals and one for your flank positionals, then it's just hit the key/button for where you are. It can be annoying if your tank is a jerk and running circles around mobs for no reason but for the most part it's a non issue.

Holy poo poo never ever do this

It's not that many buttons at all. Six positionals in the main rotation. Six buttons. Holy gently caress.

Is there a better general overview for leveling from 55-60?

I just finished the Aery for the first time last night, and I'm about 400K into 55. I have one more story quest I can do before needing to be 56 to continue.

I've tried so far to leave sidequests for alt jobs, but I've done 5-6 of them anyway. bad idea?

- duty roulettes each day (+ challenge log completions)
- sidequests?
- running the highest level dungeon over and over (currently Aery)?
- ??

For my first job, doing sidequests and daily hunts was enough to get me through 60 while only hitting a couple spots where the story dropped me for a level.

On my second, daily hunts + low level and high level and trial roulettes gets me about 2/3 of a level and it's still an enormous slog; I really feel like they're going to have to do something about the absurd XP required to level, or maybe buff the XP from FATEs, or something

We've been receiving requests to be able to instantly reach the maximum amount of Chakra stacks while not in battle; however, having an ability that would allow for this between fights in dungeons and such would be much too strong, so we’re still in the midst of making adjustments.

This is so bizarre to me. How is what happens outside of combat a power issue?

First we will be making adjustments to the effect duration and effect potency of Greased Lightning.

This though I hope is for the better; Monks could use a little push atm.

Tried the test. Hit 20 but, I dunno. I never hit the point where the game drew me in to the point where I'd want to buy it. Maybe endgame raiding would have been better or maybe it's because so much content was quest-locked for me ( I never did get the chocobo ), I don't know. I tried all the basic classes and found them all so generic. Maybe the jobs would have been more interesting but since trial characters are limited to 20, I never got to find out. Paying $60 only to realize that it just isn't clicking for me didn't seem appealing.

The game gets progressively better as you go along; the first twenty levels are still part of what is essentially a giant tutorial. I don't really blame you for not being hooked by that point.

AST is the only class I have at 60. So yeah, I'm going to queue as AST. Not going to level and gear a DPS just so I can not slightly inconvenience pubbies.


I fish in diadem. I don't need to be with others to gather. In fact, I prefer my gathering to be a solo activity where I don't have to interact with others.

Treating other people and their problems as though they neither exist nor matter seems like a pretty unhealthy way to play this game
