Ah, that fresh new thread smell.

So I notice in the OP that the EU FC is listed under 'Chaos'. Does that mean that the world it's on hasn't been finalised yet? I assume it's going to be Omega right?

MCH was my main dps in HW and i'm terrified to look at it since SB launched in case I hate it. I'm one of those weird people who loved 3.55 MCH and thought it was perfect.

However I am glad to hear people think its fun at 70 since that was the main reason I played MCH so much in HW. :unsmith:

It has changed less than it appears at first. The core rotation will feel very familiar if you were playing regularly during 3.5 (and machinist was the absolute poo poo during 3.5 so it's weirder not to like 3.5 machinist). The biggest bummers are that your wildfires are smaller, you have way less buttons to press (that was part of the appeal for me at least...), and gauss barrel is removed on death, even if you had it equipped and it wasn't overheating. Gauss barrel should really be a trait at this point. There are cases where you'd want to remove it intentionally, but they are reaaaaaaaaaaally rare, especially since there's a cooldown after manually removing it before you can reapply it.

edit: It's really dull before 70 (Or 64/66, depending on your point of view). Before 60 it's all kind of bad. It reminds me of black mage during ARR in that respect.

Actually I really liked BLM in ARR so this sounds all good to me. I haven't tried SB BLM yet either but from what i've seen it looks really good.

Can I just say that (Omega spoilers) that moment when you finish the instance before you start O1 and Omega is all like "hmm yes you pass you are now in the scrub division" and your character looks at the camera all pissed off is probably my favourite moment of SB so far.

- Do your GC hunting log

You can't do GC hunts until you get a job to 50 and unlock it.

Also adding to the above list: beast tribe quests which unlock at levels 41-44 are daily quests that give xp and tokens to trade for items.

No no, not The Hunt. The Grand Company hunting log. You know, the one that makes you do Cutter's Cry and stuff.

I completely forgot this existed. I do remember it was terrible though, since more than likely you'd get a tank who wants to speedrun a dungeon and you end up killing only 2 of the thing you need and have to requeue just to kill one mob.

This discussion is why I rerolled from tank :(

You people urging me to join a FC, is it worth it even to join a random one for leveling? I'm guessing you get some passive bonuses. If I'm gonna play this game again I think I'd want to transfer to an European server, so no (re)joining the goon guild unless there's space on the new server goons fled to (still wanna know why I'm "too late" for that migration)

I.. . I just wanna play with the cool new jobs :negative:

"Too late" means that you missed your opportunity to switch servers while transfers were free, so now you can still switch but it'll cost you real human currency.

I did the ARR relic quest during 3.4-3.55 mainly to get the title and the nexus kettle. It wasn't too bad (compared to what it used to be) but man is it hard on the wallet for some phases. Think I dropped a million+ on the mb to get some items that you can only get with maxed out desynth. loving desynth! Anyways the nexus kettle monk fists were 100% worth all the bullshit.



As for the anima....eh. Unless you really want a different shiny glam and a minion.

I feel like the Kenki gauge for SAM is a bit too cumbersome for what it does. I can reduce the size but that also reduces the font of the number that shows how much Kenki I have which is kind of important to be able to see. For now my solution is to hide the blade part of the Kenki gauge behind the Sen gauge so that just the hilt of the sword is visible.

Question earlier to someone who mentioned it. I didn't realize manually placing Eos did things. What does that do exactly?

Fairy healing has a range like everything else. Eos won't be able to heal your ranged dps if they stay stuck in the corner of the room. Most of the time its not much of an issue since your fairy will stick to you by default and their range of healing matches yours. But by placing Eos near, say, where the boss is sitting, Eos will be able to focus on Embracing the MT while you can run around healing the dumb ranged dps or rezzing someone who is too far away.

I haven't gotten SCH passed level 60 yet but i'd imagine placing fairies will be useful for Fey Union.

last night I finally level 50 DRK. My favorite moment in leveling is hitting a big level break point like that. I went from il34 to il117 and over doubled all of my stats.

I did a quick 50DR which popped WP EX. I told the group that I was a fresh 50 tank but left out the part where I hit 50 Warrior in ARR when WPEX was in the EXDR rotation, that it's my favorite level 50 dungeon, and I know the whole place inside and out. The healer's reaction was real good when I pulled everything to the door.

The healer must have also been fresh because he was casting holy from the back line but I didn't bother looking because GOTTA PULL FAST

e: I also didn't bother correcting him because it was really funny

If you haven't done the 50 DRK quest, go do it right now.

At levels 3-25, at least, you have two skills that you use 95% of the time, and the second one just combos off the first to become the same attack, but slightly more powerful. You get a sneak attack you can use once per encounter, but it seems like you can't use it for most dungeon bosses which is where it'd actually be good. You also get an execute skill that's useless against most mobs since once it's active you kill them with your next attack regardless. Finally, you have a 3s stun which I mainly use to give my fingers something to do while waiting for the GCD. I was hoping it'd explosively open up once I get ninja, if it takes until 40+ I'm not sure I can be bothered.

You get Mudras at 30+ which definitely make it more interesting and will give you something to do during gcd.

Have you looked into Palace of the Dead yet? You can unlock it at around level 15 iirc in Quarrymill. It will let you try any clas you've unlocked starting at level one and quickly gaining levels (which fyi don't translate to your actual level outside the palace). It's fairly fast to get to level 60 in PotD and get a much better feel for how the class will play at higher levels. As a bonus, once you unlock floors 50+ once, you can start at floor 51 with any other class/job and it will automatically start you at level 60 with all the class skills available (not sure if it also gives you job skills if you haven't got the crystal).

I have just started playing this again, after playing for a short while a couple years ago on PC. Anyone have a recommendation for a keyboard to use with a PS4? I really like the controller for combat, but typing anything into chat with the controller kinda sucks.

Literally just stick any usb keyboard into it and it should work. I had a 10yo dell keyboard that worked perfectly for chatting. The only keybaord that didnt work for me was a lovely 3rd party one I ordered from japan.

Bluetooth keyboards also work if those are your jam.
