Buy the art books from Amazon Japan instead.
Almost done with maxing out my aetherpool weapon/armor. Should be able to hit +99 in a week or so of casually grinding. I still enjoy PoTD though, put on some music or movie and chill.
Still have one more Primal Focus to do to get the weapons for RDM and SAM, hopefully they have some.

In a remarkable stroke of luck, a housing plot opened up on Ultros a day after I arrived....
In the exact same spot as the house I sold on my old server.

Lot of people dying in my Duty Roulette last night. But it was saturday and tons of new people were on, so it makes sense. Me and my friend were in Sohm Al for 70 minutes during our leveling roulette because we died to Nidhogg 7 or 8 times. I was patient the first 3 times, but they kept ignoring my when I kept marking and telling them that their comrade was stuck in a sable and they need to break them out! And then one of the DPS accidentally used their LB on nothing when running back to the boss -__- My friend was gonna LB the dragons during the Estinien defense phase, but he got stuck in a sable before Nidhogg took off and no one broke him out and no one used the LB on the dragons. I'm very patient with helping people learn and letting them make mistakes but it took so many retries for them to finally listen and pay attention.
Still though, would rather go through that again instead of running Thousand Maws of Toto Rak ever again. They need to excise that dungeon from the game or rework it completely. I know it's hard to make early dungeons interesting because of the lack of unlocked abilities, but there's gotta be something more interesting than one long hallway with the same 2 mini bosses.
Day 3 of FFXIV: I've made it to level 22, the more I play the more I like this game.
It felt very obtuse at first, like there was too much to take in at first but in finding the game actually does an amazing job of introducing things little by little or letting you discover them too. There's a lot of tutorial pop ups too which help since there's so many things and systems in place. So while yeah, there's a ton of stuff to do and learn, the game at least offers pretty good tutorials to assist.
That said, I don't think I'll ever like the map and navigation of the game. It all seems SO clunky and confusing. Especially at first. I think cause so much of the game is not open, have to load between so many zones even within cities. Then the map you open up doesn't make sense half the time because of the many loading entreances and stuff, it's just a PITA compared to every other MMO I've played.
Lastly, the gamepad-friendliness is really good and I love and appreciate that I can 100% play this with a gamepad...the learning curve is...well...I'm still learning and trying to get efficient with it. Sometimes the UI gets SUPER messy and it's hard to tell wtf is going on and it seems like I'm fighting with my controller to target what I want. But it's getting better the more I play and figure out advanced settings and tricks to setting up the game for better gamepad playing
Anyone have any gamepad pro-tips?

lol ye. I had the same reaction.
Yeah, the current maps are crap. But they are changing them in Stormblood (it looks like FF12's maps). So.. soon!
The JP players did a goodbye homage to DRG ring of thorns skill which will be removed in 4.0.

Oh my that will make me so happy lol. That's my biggest gripe with the game as a new player, by far. Why wasn't it like that from the beginning!?
Thanks for the heads up, relieved to see my frustrations will be eased soon.
How about a blue mage
Would accept viera blue mage.

I'm kinda bummed. I'm really excited for 4.0, but at the same time...It's incredibly frustrating that SE still hasn't given a response to South American players since they opened that thread in the OF 3 weeks ago, with less than 2 weeks until the Stormblood launch. Nothing changed, and if anything it got worse (310ms now without a VPN).
I know that routing issues aren't entirely in their hands, but even if it isn't possible to fix it, can't they at least reassure us that they're looking into it? I'm not going to be able to pay for a VPN sub for long, and even that's not really cutting it (what I tried reduces my latency to 180ms).

According to an interview, there is supposed to be some pvp mode where it's 2 sides instead of 3, involving siege equipment. While it may not be FC related, it might scratch a bit of the itch.
Really?! They need to bring that back. So many pieces from other classes that could complete alot of my glams
180 isn't horrible. I've been doing it on 170-180ms since the change and it's not as bad as I'd feared it would be.
What should I expect to pay if I want enough crafted gear to bypass the ilvl grind in the 3.x patches? I'm sitting at 190 and am debating if grinding or buying makes sense, or just waiting until there's readily available vendor gear in a few weeks and just being behind in the story for a bit.
God, the shit I saw today in the novice chat today.. Just glad that a handful of helpful/fun people ended up making a linkshell, so we've got our little corner now.
The chat went from two people discussing about building an "unreal" PC with a 1080ti and the guy couldn't figure out if he wanted a monitor with or without gsync, then there were discussions about wanting girlfriends, then I finally started getting matches for PVP so I jumped out of the chat, but when I came back two people were VERY emotional about whether the "pay to skip" thing coming with the xpack is good or bad and we kept telling them to shut up and take it outside the network.
Very soon after that the linkshell was made.
I remember being curious about what goes on in the newbie channel when I last played, but now I hope I never have to see it again.
A friend of mine and I are really praying that they bring out a system like this to the game at some point. I'd love to roll a BLM with some fancy BLM robes and some badass armor on the limbs, give it kind of a battle mage look.

RIP DRG pole dancing
Also I guess this solves the problem of people spamming that skill in town

What was your latency before the server change?
Tab targeting in general in the game is pretty counterintuitive on both gamepad and keyboard/mouse. Target cycling ignores proximity and just goes from left to right--even if it means jumping to people at the other side of the room instead of the guy in front of you. You can hold down L1 and scroll through the enemy list instead. Here is everything you could want about controller targeting. You can also look into enabling the L2+R2/R2+L2 expanded crossbar to give you more skill slots, but that won't be a concern until you're a little further along in the game.
Gamepad works really well for everything in the game, but getting acquainted with how targeting works and learning to position your camera to help control targeting takes some getting used to.
Super server-reliant; if you know crafters see if they can make it for you in exchange for mats. Dark horse gear option is PVPing to buy the i235 Garo gear. This would get you over the minimum iLevel and is quicker than dungeon grinding, but please don't take that gear into Savages/extreme primals because you will have 0 accuracy. For just dungeons though it'd work, and since PVP rewards tomes you could supplement the PVP with tome gear.
The vendor gear, if it follows HW pattern, will be in an area locked behind the Expansion story progress so you'd have to send somebody to get it for you.
If you're in the GAF fc on Ultros I can make you a set.

Thank you both for the responses!
Killthee, I'm Lane Solidor in the GAF FC. Would be looking to get a set for PLD and a set for DRG for my brother, and obviously can pay you for both assuming it's not going to be like, 10 million gil which is what buying the HQ pieces appear to be on the AH for every slot (nothing non-HQ available for cheaper either, of course).
What's your character name in-game?
Victor strange.
I'm out of lore and gc seals, so if you want the weapons I'll need the lore and gc mats.
I can do left side minus belt gear wise. If you're poor, I only need a polarized glass for the tank head piece. If you have some gil to spend, I could use the polarized Glass, 7 clary sage per set, 7 dawnborne sands per set, and 5 Peteinosaur per set. Also shits time consuming, so I'll be crafting the mats as nq and will give the final product one chance at HQ.
You can get an ilv 235 belt and acc from pvp and then replace them with A9 gear once you can enter it. It cost 1k seals for each piece, running duty roulette frontlines (turn on the free lancer option) or winning 2 feast matches will net you 1k seals.

Thanks to Red and the other GAF members that helped us do Nidhogg, even though the ending was SLOPPY!
It was only the 4th time I believe we've been to phase 3 which why it was so messy but we did it so I'm happy.
Next Up: Sephirot Extreme!

Whether or not that happens, thanks for the offer! That's kind of you.

This is the ideal Lalafell. You may not like it, but this is what peak Lalafell performance looks like.
DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED ALL THE UPDATES
Finally finished Heavensward and I gotta say, I feel like an idiot not realizing Yda was the monk in the Stormblood CG.
Thanks.

Catgirls in skimpy clothes aren't sexual, it's their made up MMO culture
Yet you play a lalafell
That doesn't help when I want the English lore book too. I mean, the store is terrible and I would use something else if they sold some of this shit elsewhere. I just want to know how it is normal to charge 20-36 bucks for shipping from the US to... the US. Like, what?
Aaah why did I click that!? I thought you meant you finished the vanilla 3.0 content.
No more late night coding for me.
...........
Thanks for spoiling 3.x stuff by saying "Heavensward". Meh.
If there's one thing I've learned about gaf, it's that nobody knows how to properly use spoiler tags, even when they think they do.

Just sent them over to you.

tomes or from crafters, but don't how much cash you have to spare
I was ilvl 142, then I bought all the ilvl150 equip at Azys Lla which were actually somewhat shittier than my ilvl145 stuff, and that bumped it up to ilvl145. Kinda meh for the 100+k I spent on that. Regret it.
What would it cost me to get a full ilvl230 set from Killthee? I'm a DRG. What sort of mats do I need to provide? How do I grind for those mats. Advice! I'm just trying to find any excuse not to have to pointlessly do PotD or any painful content since I'm lvl60 now. I just wanna get through 3.x and also be able to meet the requirements to do the cool optional stuff with friends (Void Ark, Alexander, etc).

Ask around the free company. A kind fellow named Victor Strange crafted me some ilvl 255 gear the other day, minus a belt and accessories.
Yes that's Killthee.
He's the best <3
You're new and probably poor so don't really need anything from you. Toss me a friend request in game so I can mail you some gear.
Look at my post to lane for the quickest way to get acc and belt.
