I pretty sure the "click aetheryte to teleport to it" feature was added fairly recently. I remember reading a patch note about it.

to actually do glamours you need to level the right DoH? i didn't see any prisms on the marketboard

You were probably searching wrong. Note that the serch only matches your input text to the start of item names, and glamour prisms start with "Grade <number>". So if you were looking for "Glamour" you won't find poo poo.

It's really easy to make money in this game if you know what you're doing. What are you planning to do with the red scrip anyway? You can easily make all the current CUL recipes with the <150 gear.

Because they're never going to add more recipes that will require red scrip/melded i170 crafted gear, right?

Multiple characters probably relies on mail, but there's no real reason to have multiple characters on the same server that I can think of

I just want a / command to change your title so I can use a different title for every class without it being annoying levels of effort.

Also multiple glamours for different classes on one item. This is one part where the current endgame is really lacking. I shouldn't have to dress my PLD the same as my DRK just because they share gear.

I want titles and glamour to be saved with the gear set.

Sorry, I meant the 57% mitigation you mentioned vs. the 43% base mitigation from defense (57 - 43 = 14). I might just be misunderstanding the equation badly.

100 - 43 = 57.

clear prisms are 200 gil each and glamour prisms themselves are 1 clear and 2 of some mid-level material, like steel ingots

Most but not all of which can be bought from various beastman vendors.

(I don't think the leather or silver ingots are available from vendors anywhere, at least.)

So I spent a good amount of time over the past couple days doing my relic weapon quest. i sort of went back and forth between story quests and the relic stuff and, lo and behold, the relic was a significant downgrade from some blue staff I had

Can I glamour things to look like my relic weapon?

Yes.

Thank you for confirming for me. I haven't ran that dungeon in a while.

also an HQ 133 axe is better than the dreadwyrm. You lose a couple points of strength and vit, but it has the same weapon damage and killer substats.

Isn't strength a big enough deal and substats a small enough deal that this is not better?

Ineptitude posted:

As for tanks the limited gameplay i have tried so far seems a tad more interesting but the overall pace of the game is slow. A global cooldown (to borrow the term from WoW) is 2.5 seconds in FFXIV which feels artificially slow to me. It also stresses me out that i do not have any self heals, being used to playing healers or hybrids for 15 years of MMO's. The tanks seem kinda same'y as well. I think the first 4 skills i got as a marauder and a as a gladiator were literally identical. Looking through their skill tree there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interesting skills.

Skills you gain from your class and job quests don't show up until you've completed those quests.

I don't understand how people enjoy wow's GCD with all the buttons and longass complex rotations and animations that come very close to gmod flailing

I played a rogue which as I remember had an even shorter GCD. FF14's is downright relaxing. I have time to actually think about what I'm gonna do next!

I am curious: all jobs have at least one evolution of their job; some have two. Is there ever a time I'll go, for example, "Yeah I think today I want to be a Marauder instead of a Warrior?"

Nope. The wider cross-class skill selection is not worth losing your job abilities and the stat bonus for equipping the soul gem.

For anyone who doesn't remember 2.0 Warrior, or wasn't playing back then:

Defiance didn't grant max HP - Wrath stacks did. Which you had to lose to use Inner Beast.. which didn't reduce damage taken. And Vengeance was just a damage reflect. And you couldn't even Holmgang bosses.

It was pretty bad.

No, Defiance granted some HP, but I think less than it does right now.

The increased healing was tied to wrath stacks and topped out at definitely less. And Steel Cyclone didn't have enmity boost on it.

For NIN should a huton be able to be done in between one global cooldown skill and another? I have trouble getting a two mudra skill off, let alone a three.

You eventually get a combo ability which means you shouldn't need to recast it in combat. Until then, my GCD with Huton up is about 2 seconds, and the recast on the mudras is 0.5 and I think activating a ninjutsu is also 0.5 so it's not really possible for me to do a 3-mudra ninjutsu without clipping a GCD, even if they always went off flawlessly which they don't.

Yeah I wasn't really aware until I was told. The party I was in was incredibly surprised we survived Brayflox's Longstop with an amateur Maurader!

You were doing way less enmity and were much less survivable than you should be.

Also while you're leveling GLD you'll wanna keep going until 22 for Provoke, the only taunt in the game.

IcePhoenix posted:

Is there a newbie guide that explains how leveling up other classes and stuff works? My Lancer is level 24 now but I need to get to 15 in Marauder as well as 30 in Lancer to become a Dragoon, should I start working on that or just ignore it? Should I pick a crafting/gathering class so I can swap back and forth while adventuring to do stuff?

This is all new and confusing to me.

A thing people seem to have missed mentioning is that Dragoon is just a straight upgrade to Lancer. It uses the same experience. If you're a level 34 Lancer and you have Dragoon unlocked, you're a level 34 Dragoon. So when you hit 30 Lancer, at the latest, go get Marauder to 15 so you can be a Dragoon. You don't then have to level up Dragoon instead.

Is there a reason why I wouldn't be able to get this quest? I have done the quest to unlock armor dying and I've still got my monk artifact armor. When I talk to Alys she doesn't offer me this quest, only the hardmode Ultima Weapon fight.

Have you tried taking the quest she's offering and seeing if she then offers another one? and if that doesn't work try finishing the quest.
