Apparently buying stormblood doesn't come with 30 days of gametime like every other mmo I've bought...

Mad because it means I can't play until next paycheck (next week) because I've budgeted to play now, but don't have it in the budget to play now. (I have the funds, but the money is budgeted to things that matter more)

Ugh adulting :sigh:

Yeesh I'm glad I'm at a level where $15 doesn't make or break me. That's like coffee money for a week or so.

No, as I said, I literally could spend $15, but I'd be taking that from funds that are already set aside for other things, like new tires for my car and such I need to buy.

I just didn't plan out i'd need 45+15, but $45. There's a difference.

Summoner seems pretty cool, I like the dots and the pet. Not sure if it's tangible to level as the healer variant though. Seen it in a few Dungeons. Looks like tanks get the most bonus for daily Dungeons.

I've tanked in hard modes in ulduar (and Healy paladin) so I know I could do it but it's usually stressful so I avoid it. Healing on anything other than hard modes is usually enough to put me to asleep. The timing is easily the hardest part, since you get to avoid everything else about the fights that dps/tanks care about.

Anyways, I'm having fun, level 38 after a few weeks of a couple hours a night.

I just did Cape Westwind last night for the first time actually, and it was hilarious. I had figured he'd be super hard based on how FFRK portrays it, but no one did like anything but melt the boss super fast.

He died in like 45 seconds or something stupid.

I am currently a level 25 CUL, and I am trying to do the HQ Helm Component Ixal quest, but I am having some great difficulties.

I eat Mint Lassi, and everything but my head/ear/neck/bracelet/rings is HQ crafting gear for my level.

CP=253
Control=150
Skill Speed=144
Craftsmanship=161

I usually do this:

Inner quiet > steady hand > hasty touch, then do that as often as possible, sometimes doing master's mend to repair, but I just am not loving doing enough to get high quality up.

Am I missing something? I noticed that goldsmithing thing gets something cross class at 15, do I need that?

I just want to hand in these stupid quests because I'm reputation capped :mad:

You're missing a bunch of level 50 abilities, most importantly Byregot's Blessing from CRP. You're just going to have to suck it up until you get there. Keep plugging away at CUL until 37 though, because Steady Hand II is really good.

I looked up a guide which shows the best leveling path is to spam levequests

This is pain.

I either have to craft myself the items, then go to the questgiver, turn in ONE round of items, teleport back to the questgiver, then go to the target again, and repeat. What the gently caress.

Yeah, but goons would love to run Coil with you.

If you mean Crystal Tower, queues will be long. I've heard Sunday is better.

Labyrinth or Coil would be ideal, at least just enough to try it once so I can experience the content.

I did Garuda Extreme and it wasn't that difficult but like....

Are some people just braindead?

I watched as they explained the mechanic to get in the bubble, and then one red mage just kept not getting in the bubble. Everyone was standing inside the bubble and he just looked at us and....didn't. And then he died.

I like to think that sometimes they're just tunnel visioning hard and not paying attention to anything other than their hotbar and the mana gauge.

Yeah but... every time? Come on. I get getting killed by a mechanic once or twice, but if you're attempting extreme (this was sync'd) or w/e you should be cognizant that it's probably not going to be a steamroll.

I mean, we eventually did it, after about 10 times. (mostly due to the offtank not pulling one of the bird adds at the right time, or people not focus firing down the adds at first because no one said to and about 5/8 of the people there were new to the fight)

30m+ wait times for dps, could at least look up the fight guide in that time.

So Binding Coil and Labyrinth raids:

Interest check for who wants to do those this sunday (or tuesday/wednesday)

Thinking 12 noon EST till whenever we finish them?

I just want to experience the raids, so if we can run them unsynced or something that'd be great, or not.

We need 24? dudes so whoever wants to come and is 50 I'd say is fair game.

Legacy of Allag is kind of a pain but its just 4 fates, shouldn't take more than an hour or maybe two, and Crystal Tower is totally worth it IMO. Best tip is just put on a movie or something and grab a friend to help you camp both zones simultaneously and clear out any other fates in the area that might be blocking them. Chances are pretty good that it'll pop quickly if there's space.

If there's gonna be a CT group this Sunday like it sounds like there might be, any newbies should make sure they get allag out of the way ahead of time if they haven't.

What's legacy of allag?

Anyone have any suggestions for SAM rotation? I figured I should probably play a little of this free level 50 SAM I've got and I like ~katanas~ but the rotation seems confusing coming from a WoW paladin (press 3 buttons and keep your dot up) and then SMN -> RDM -> SAM the combo pattern seems....confusing.

I found this which seems helpful:

you need to actually purchase the 90 days of sub time during the promotion. if you didn't buy more than a month at a time, it's unlikely you bought 3 months during the promotion so far.

I have purchased it and it doesn't show up. June 27th, July 27th, Aug 26th. Bunch of hot garbage. I'll make a ticket with SE

the promotion didn't start until july so your june sub money doesn't count

Except:

If you have remaining subscription time that was purchased before the campaign period, or you have an active recurring subscription, we will calculate any remaining game time available as of Saturday, July 1, towards the campaign.

Oh.....

Oh that's loving bullshit. (because it starts on july 1st, and i purchased on the 27th, that's only 66~ or so days paid "DURING" the promo period). I would have had to pay for four months based on when i purchased. t:mad:

Naw, I saw him play through most of it. Now dialogue boxes I would totally believe him skipping, but I think he watched cutscenes because he would bring poo poo up and ask questions.

Haurchefaunt (sic) got to him though lol

Granted: I did all the side quests in ARR while I was doing completion log rewards, and going "I wonder how to stable my chocobo" and "i have to complete my daily hunts!" and stuff.

Some days I wouldn't be able to play, and work days maybe 1-2 hours a night. Also some days I would just be like "oh i need to do adult things like cooking and laundry" and just be logged into the game for hours

So I wasn't going balls deep into the MSQ. Once I got to HW I was like "okay well i need to unlock flying and I can mostly just skip all the side quests in the zone until later..."

So I did...yet I'm still 68 and started in the Fringes.
