I was teaching my sprout friend about gearing and where to buy Poetics and stuff, and some jackass lunatic barges in and legitimately suggests using pentamelded IL115 crafted instead of Ironworks??? Even if that is stronger, it'd have to be by like, what, 1%? Not to mention if you get level-synced down it just ignores your materia entirely and gives you stats based off the duty's max item level instead, which would be everything until Snowcloak when they'll have outleveled it all anyway! Needless to say I chewed him out and shut down any notion that you should go and spend hundreds of thousands of gil on crafted gear and materia melding instead of using the effectively free tomestone gear that's better in at least 99.99% of all situations

girl dick energy posted:KPW is a good person who gives away absurd amounts of gear and materials and help and information to any sprout with even a modicum of interest in getting better and learning more about the game. I am fully ready to believe they were having this conversation in front of the Limsa market board/aetheryte and some dipshit chimed in to remind everyone why you don't get advice from the people who hang out around the Limsa marketboard and aetheryte. While it was in Limsa, it was actually off in a secluded corner where it was literally just me, my sprout friend, and this weirdo who thought he'd interrupt our conversation with this great advice. But yeah, as mentioned upthread: if you can meld materia, great! But over-/penta-melding is strictly for the most cutting-edge content and absolutely not something you're expected to do otherwise, especially not for leveling

Kwyndig posted:That's why you go as a healer so you can AOE the bombs out of range. You should go healer anyway because Scholar is flagrantly OP in ARR: your fairy does all the healing for you and Art of War has an astonishing 150 potency, which is better than actual DPS jobs and I think the highest flat-out in LV50 content.

Loops posted:I originally took to this game so much because the community events are unlike anything else. I have to vent about this though because I've been at quite a few of those "twitch dj + ingame club" parties by now, they can be fun, but I'm honestly shocked by how unabashedly corrupt the event organisers are and how no one apparently minds? I'll give you free things if you want

and most of the other prizes went to staff, including the event photographer. It wasn't a public vote, the photographer just announced the winners including herself.

Offkorn posted:Unless you're doing current-tier Savage raids, the convenience of combat macros far exceeds any efficiency loss. Especially for classes with 20 instants like Bard, Mech, and Drg; just toss them all on a macro and weave with a single button.  DO NOT USE MACROS FOR COMBAT SKILLSNot only are they liable to break horribly mid-fight and leave you standing idle/using the wrong skills for however long, but most skills are in intervals of 1.5s or 2.5s by design while macros can only queue up skills on whole seconds, meaning you're losing at least 20% DPS just by using them at all. Macros are for crafting and funny UI stuff ONLY

Crafting leves are stupid busted OP now(?) so I wrote up a guide on which ones to spam your way up to 90 with ease, since certain leves are disproportionately good for no good reason. May I post it here?

https://pastebin.com/ZQypnWXD It's a little haphazard and thrown together, but I've done my best to go through all the leves for every crafter and highlight the best/most efficient ones at any point... if they're not on here they're probably not worth doing, especially since leves are time-restricted!

reversefungi posted:Does anyone have any resources for getting better at PVP? I've hated PVP until recently, having just discovered how much fun MCH can be. It depends on if you're playing CC or Frontline; MCH always boils down to 'stand behind your team and be a jerk-rear end picking folks off and racking up damage/kills', but the intricacies change a lot based on either mode. Basically, although it's rather obvious, you want to be thinking at all times what you can do to *not die*, considering you're made of tissue paper and a prime target. CC survival becomes about total understanding of the map and when/where to back off, while in Frontline, it's about not dying so you don't lose your Battle High. MCH in Frontline is basically worthless until it gets a few ranks of BH, when it turns into a golden god that mulches people with no recourse. MCH is really really hard to pull off well, but I can say as someone on the receiving end that a skilled MCH is the most terrifying job in the game by far. If anything I might actually recommend picking a different, simple job like WAR (it's just dives, AOEs, and a pull) and focusing MCHs down so you can understand their weaknesses from the other side.

FeatherFloat posted:Another fun benefit that I realized when I ran an alt of mine through Coils not long ago is that with the dungeon drop updates, all of the Coils drop gear coffers now. If your level 90 friends running you through let you have 'em, you'll also finish your run with a full set of some sweet gear for glamours! The final four Turns also drop IL130-135 gear, which is just as good as/better than Ironworks. These days you can nuke the last two bosses down in like 5 seconds with a 90 friend, so it might be worth clearing them just for essentially free tomestone gear on-tap. Plus they look sick as gently caress

ParliamentOfDogs posted:You can also buy gear to turn in for GC seals which can be used for a ton of stuff. They have essentially loot boxes for Stormblood mounts/minions for sale there even if you have everything else there you want. Do this with Poetics if you want, but do NOT waste your Causalities on 620 gear. 1500 tomes gets you a relic stage, and crafting materials (usually Thavnairian Flux or Deinosuchus Skins sell the best) are an easy 1-2m+ gil for a stack.

Woodywoo01 posted:Do Limsa and Gridania get similar focus later on? Yes and no? They get some focus/scenes but nothing to quite that level. Yes! They could finally afford to hire actual British people instead of just randos off the street putting on silly voices. They're by and large a substantial improvement (oh god ARR Alisaie) Dark Knight is by far the best job storyline in the game and worth doing just for that (specifically right now, even). Also it's probably a good idea to level it sooner than later considering it'll be 40 levels to gain by the time SHB starts, and I guarantee going back to jank-rear end ARR content will be very low on your list of priorities by then.

It's a terrible idea to do pre-flying but it will get you absurdly motivated to access new zones and their new materials if you have the same brainworms as me  At least the Weaver questline is really funny?

IIRC the entire desynth system is just a relic from the hell days of ARR where you could only have a total amount of desynthesis levels across all jobs and there were desynth-only items and aaaaaaa These days it's just 'will the desynth item be HQ or not' as far as I can tell. I think any of the rare stuff is/was only up to LV50/60 or so which you will blitz past in seconds these days, so none of it really matters anymore.
