God I wish I knew who used my RAF code so I could find out if they subbed enough for me to get Twintania immediately.

I also wish I'd taken all of Friday off work instead of just the afternoon, those hours are going to be the slowest in history.

Is there any point to using Ruin 3 right now? 40 more potency than Ruin for 6 times the cost. I know Dreadwyrm Trance is going to lower the MP cost a ton but right now I've got a cool looking spell that would run me dry of mp so fast. Guess for solo fights in the field I can use it cause fights aren't long and I can regen between them but for boss fights it seems like a trap.

So a friend of mine, who recently bought the game, is already at level 50 with Dragoon and still hasn't finished the ARR storyline. When I asked him why, he said that he's just going to wait until he buys Heavensward so he can just be level 56 or so (his words) by the time he starts the expansion. I keep telling him that he would be better off just doing the questline now so he doesn't have to wait, but he's being pretty stubborn about it. Is there anything I can say to convince him to at least finish the ARR storyline?

I mentioned the Hildebrand questlines, but he just said "I've already unlocked all the game mechanics I care about, I don't want to waste the EXP" like it was a junkie. It's weird b/c he's super-interested in the overall story but just straight-up refuses to touch anything until he can afford Heavensward. Admittedly he's leveling other classes with the 100% exp bonus in the meantime, but still.

Tell him the exp won't go to waste cause you don't need to have Heavensward to level past 50.

That's what I'm saying: He refuses to progress on the 2.0 storyline (he's around the level 46 quests IIRC) before buying Heavensward, and he already has a level 50 character.

Wait what? You said he doesn't want to waste the exp and that's why he's not levelling, but he would get the exp and be able to level to 51 even before he gets heavensward.

Let me clarify then: He doesn't have Heavensward, but does have a level 50. However, he doesn't want to do any of the 2.1-2.55 stuff because he thinks it'll give him an advantage once he gets Heavensward, even if that means putting off Castrum and Prae.

Your friend is not only wrong but literally doesn't make any sense.

Oh. So is there a point to using Fuma Shuriken at all, then? I figured they wouldn't just give you a straight replacement skill 5 levels later.

There were a couple of enemies in final coil who you would rather use Fuma Shuriken on and they had statuses in their buff/debuff markers that stated they took reduced magic damage. Other than that, yeah Raiton is a complete replacement for Fuma Shuriken.

I've unlocked the first three beast race quests now. Stupid game making me care about them with stories but can't continue unless I gain reputation. You get the cute plant people that you help and quest with for the majority of your 20's so obviously you can't abandon them. Plus they talk adorably. There are also the ixals and kobolds which are not as cool as the sylphs because they were your enemies the majority of the game. The other two are still level locked for me. You only get 3 quests a day and they reward you with 15 reputation each. Its going to take years to rank up! Outside of interesting mounts there are no reason to do them right?

The quest you get for maxing rank in all five tribes is a treasure.

There were different levels of Raise that made you lose less exp total but even with the best tier you still lost exp.

Curses, we've fallen right into the puppetmaster's trap!

I think I'm going to level up SMN for a while; I have it at 50 because I levelled up SCH, and once I take it to 60 I'll both be able to dragonlaser dudes and have a healer at 60.

... you know, in retrospect, the fact that Summoners get abilities from Bahamut kind of spoils the plot twist that Bahamut is actually a primal in the image of a long-dead dragon, doesn't it.

Bahamut being a primal is in no way a twist. The stuff you find out from Tiamat (and the brief mention by Hraesvelgr) about him originally being a real dragon and the primal being just a false copy is a twist but the SMN storyline in no way hints at that.

If you have a hotbar that you never use you can set it up on several jobs with different layouts of macros that you're going to want, then hide it and you can make a macro with something along the lines of:

/hotbar copy whm 10 blm 1
