tithin posted:Yeah, I have no idea how it works. It was explained to me that any class below level 50 - once you have a level 50 - gets a 50% XP bonus. It's wrong. Magil Zeal is correct, just having one higher level combat class gets all other lower level combat classes the armory bonus. I don't think crafters / gatherers get it though.

There was a separate update for ARR players so they can play with HW players like Au Ra or the new jobs. The updater knows which one to get based on your account. If you have a HW preorder code entered for your account it'll download the proper HW patch which is something like 8 gigs. e: My friday plans is to roll an au ra made in the benchmark in some barren server and see if I like their animations and how they look. Gotta save that $$$ on puppet accounts to get twintania instead of fantasia'ing to get the right dragonprincess look!  e2: au ra aura gently caress spelling

The game comes with a free month, once you paid for time (which is done once you run out of current play time. You can add a credit card to your account but it won't be charged until your current game time expires. Not sure about time cards) is when you are locked out of a refer a friend codes. It's probably best just to try to use one anyways before you buy a second copy, the worst the game will say is 'No'. e: added quote

Mechanics that will kill you will still do so (like Levi EX rocking the boat, Titan EX landslides and we'll see if lv60 gear is enough to eat the plumes stacks he does) but they'll all melt faster. Some will become Coil T1 where you can safely ignore mechanics but others will be like T5 where it's easier but ignoring mechanics still gets you wiped. We'll see how it turns out as more people hit lv60 and go back farming ponies or newbies getting their wingbutt pants.

I'm thinking of sending in a ticket about this since I couldn't actually make use of the initial 30 days back when it got activated. Oh, I'm dumb and misread your posts. I thought you had played for the first month but wanted the refer a friend bonus, not that you didn't play at all and only installed it (which started your free trial which I agree is dumb). Not sure how good SE's support is for stuff like this, so I won't speculate. If you do go the new game route you can get the 14 day free trial, then when that expires buy the game and get a free month of playtime from that. This of course depends on SE's response and if you can find a copy of the game for less than a month of subscription (cheapest is $13 on the Entry account, 1 character per server, 8 total characters, for 30 days. This has the billing / account options for a ff14 account). e: Found a link saying the 2 week trial and 1 month of free time when buying the game do stack. e2: I'd still wait for the trial to expire before adding a purchased copy of the game just to be safe though.

Yeah, a relic seems a bit out of the way to get a i80/i90 weapon. Stick to the i70 weapon from a FC chest / the market and keep chugging through the story. Hopefully you'll get a better weapon from a quest, worst case is plow through anyways and use other gear to hit i90 by 2.5 so you can do the rest of the story content. Or try to get hooked up to a HW i115 weapon from the trash merchants from somebody who's already in HW. I assume they're level 50 gear.

Green Man Gaming still talks about a preorder, maybe they'll give a code? They increased the armory bonus from +50% EXP to +100% which should help some. Sounds like there's a deluge of tanks flooding the lower levle instances so if you 're leveling a DPS now seems like a great time to do it. efb, listen to kob for the armory bonus. It is only +100% to lv50, then it reverts back to +50%

Plus, I know that there's no exp, but it also says no items, does that include boss drops and such, or could you grab a bunch of level 60 guys and pony farm with the Undersized setting much faster than before? You can still be a full size party for that instance (4/8 man, not sure if you can bring 8 people into a 4 man instance) and you still get chests from bosses.

And you only need to make your character once, again thanks to the armory system which lets one character do everything. Sometimes there's queues to sign on that last 20 seconds (or less if you cancel and immediately try again). Definitely try to get on Excalibur even if it sucks that first time creating your character and getting them on Excalibur. There's three healing classes but access to two is kinda gated. Conjurer / White Mage is available from the start. Scholar requires leveling a DPS class (Arcanist) to 30 and Conjurer to 15 to unlock with the bonus that you can use a DPS class, Summoner, at the same level as your Scholar. The third, Astrologist, requires completing the main story of the base game which lets you access the expansion content where Astrologist is immediately available for everybody and starts at level 30. You can get a free two week trial period, max level 20, to give the game a shot. Come heal anime catgirl simulator 14! e: Make your character on another server first. You can save their appearance data so when Excalibur is available you just load that appearance data, input your name and staring class, and you're off!

As an apology for 2.X tri-disaster it got renamed tri-bind and at lv54 or 56 you get new hot and sexy tri-disaster which is a one minute cooldown that applies the big three dots all at once. At lv52 you get an aoe attack that does burst damage. Also Fister Roboto posted:They can cast Akh Morn and Teraflare, that's all you really need to know. SMN is pretty fun right now!

I went all the way to 60 with a i115 and a weathered sol i110 ring without issue. Don't throw your money at market board prices and just hang on. Accessories are cheap law upgrades and doing the final dungeon + trial and a HLDR and LLDR should be enough to get you at least one. If you need the ilvl to enter the final dungeon throw on any right side gear you won on greed rolls in dungeons to get your ilvl up then change it out back to the gear you actually use once the instance starts.

For WHM / Healing PVP one important skill to learn is when you don't heal. If some DRG jumps into the middle of another party's blob don't go running out trying to save him because a) you won't and he'll die and b) then they might come after you and you'll die. Stick with your group. Regen and Cure don't do enough if somebody is trying to kill somebody in your party, stick to Cure 2. Stoneskin prevents your casts from being interrupted when taking damage like Surecast and one of your PVP skills so try to keep it up on yourself when you find a second. Also make sure you equip and see what your PVP skills do. I like to improve the "remove any bad status" one first and use it when I get slept because as you found out sleep is great to use on healers! Some will try to sleep you twice in a row to get you to eat your Purify use, so keep that in mind. (This is all from lv50 WHM PVP healing so take everything I say with a grain of salt. I haven't done new PVP yet) Also the real prize (esoteric tomes) is just for participation so if your party sucks or goes everywhere without direction turn on netflix, follow somebody, and casually heal them and dying while watching some show is all you need to do.

Sarrisan posted:Nice tip on stoneskin. Thanks for the advice, I'm gonna have to try and remember what all the pvp skills do. I forgot some stuff, here's some more tips that maybe helpful: - Fluid Aura and other knockback attacks can wreck somebody if they're on an edge of a cliff. Make them fall, take massive falling damage, and if they had a DoT on them like Aero they'll die from the DoT tick after hitting the ground. Alternatively, you can do it to get a melee DPS away from you. Fluid Aura also has a bind for a few seconds or until they're hit so knocking them back and getting away / buffing up is possible. - Holy can stun! A well placed aoe stun can help your party out in various ways... or they already have max stun resist from other dps and now you're up close and just blew your swiftcast... - To be clear, regen isn't viable if who you're healing is being targeted. Opening with Media 2 when approaching a fight is totally viable, or regen'ing yourself when you're being targeted and don't have any way to cast besides instant casts. It might give an extra second for your party to help you out (or you can use it with the PVP skill where you turtle up to hold up whoever is trying to kill you for a few seconds longer). - Look into using vitality right-side gear. The mind bonus from the healer gear won't be a big help compared to having your HP skyrocket and making you more durable. Getting slept->cometeor (a pvp BLM favorite) and surviving can help a lot. Try to find a good mix that works for you. Since PVP is synced to ilv150 you should be fine with whatever you win via greed rolls in EXDR and not spending law tomes or anything for vit gear. (Or it might be best to stick with healing right side, not sure how it'll all come down in pvp @ lv60)

There is some cross-role abilities for some jobs. Summoner is the only non-healer job that can revive party members and they and Paladins can use a HP healing move that, while paltry, and hold off a party wipe if the healer bites it. Paladin also gets a HP buffer spell that's just a flat % of max HP and Summoners get a tank pet that can do in a pinch (I used him to tank half of Neverreap's final boss after the tank accidentally got knocked out of the arena! It was dicey since the pet doesn't have a provoke and had to slowly build up aggro while the boss whaled on a DPS but we managed to pull through). Healers are also intended to do DPS, heal to keep people from dying but otherwise they can contribute to killing bosses. They get a stance that hits their healing significantly for doing more damage and all it costs is about a GCD or two of cooldown to leave the damage stance once you enter it. Hell, in low level dungeons one of the healers (Scholar) can sit in DPS stance and let their healing pet do all the healing. But at the end of the day it's very much a Tank/Healer/DPS game and while some jobs can help in other areas they don't compare to somebody dedicated in that role.

I solo'd Hardtali as a Summoner and Titan-egi, the pet heal spell, and some vit gear and physick spam to eat the final boss' big aoe attack. I've tried Snowcloak without success though, I usually fall off on healing Titan-egi and he dies then I do. I haven't tried since I got law gear though so that and some gitgud should do the trick. Scholar could probably do it though with the defense from law gear and fairy healing.

Sade posted:I'm leveling duo with somebody and we just got to the point in the story where you pick a grand company. A couple of cursory reddit searches suggest your choice of GC doesn't matter much, and I know you can switch between them, but my question specifically concerns the leveling experience. Do different GCs have different story quests? Are my leveling partner and I going to be separated if we pick different GCs? GC only matters for glamors and PVP. The most it affects the story is when you're working with a GC as part of the plot they'll call you by your title, like "Private BonerGoku". Once you max rank it at about lv50 you can change to another GC. It costs 50k though except the first time and it has a two week cooldown but it remembers your seals and rank so you can always go back.

Expert Roulette gives 75 esoterics a day (40 from the dungeon, 35 from the daily bonus). Frontlines Roulette gives 20 esoterics as a daily bonus and if you get Siege Rock, the lv60 pvp map (I've always gotten it) you'll get another 20 esoterics. You can also get 10 from the daily trials roulette bonus. If you grind Alexander trying to get a drop you'll get 10 esoterics from each floor there as well. You need ilv170 for Alexander though which needs Law gear which you get piles of from your daily roulettes and upgrade them with centurio seals or law tomestones. e: I forgot to say the law and esoterics you get from PVP is on a participation basis only. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, you'll still get them. PVP EXP and Wolfmarks (buy pvp gear aka glamor) are adjusted based on how well your GC does in PVP.
