Eh, might as well share, I guess.

So, very close, to unlocking Warrior.
 
There is a metal version of that set for melee. IIRC in Version 1.0 they were less relevant. Don't know how I feel about them being the best gear for their level now. They are not particularly offensive to my tastes, at least when compared to every female character not having pants for a bunch of armor sets in this game versus males.
 
Yeah, Autotranslate in FFXI was pretty helpful. Press tab when in chatbar to bring it up.

The Auto-Translate Function was best used for talking about Mithra fun holes since the JP and EN players didn't really interact too much. Now that JP and NA/EU have separate server clusters it's entirely redundant except to talk about Roegadyn Full Thrusts.
 
I'm in the same boat. I only have MRD at 25 and LNC at 23. I have no idea how these guys do it... too bad there is no /playtime so we can really see how long they have been playing!

Surprised lodestone doesn't have a timer.
I believe they grind on fates, no idea how that helps tho, I only get 4-5k per fate lol.
 
anyone know where the servers are located? (ultros) i'm sick of getting hit by stuff that i'm clearly out of

I think you have to move out of the way before the meter gets anywhere near finished. Even if you move before the attack commences, it has to be early on.
 
hmm, thanks. dunno why i have such a shitty connection then in pennsylvania

If it's any consolation, the last three or so days I've had a bit more latency than usual and I've heard a few other people say the same. Could have been something on the server side of things causing it.

yeah, but, say, during the ifrit fight i'll be standing out there for a good two seconds before the move goes off

yeah, i suppose that could be it. hope it gets better soon, or at least in a month.

Higher level FATE's ramp up

Most start giving 10K easily

From level 25 on almost 99.5% of FATE's are 10K+
There are some which are 3-4 part FATE phases, which give roughly 25-150K

First 4 parter FATE is the Highbridge scenario is in Eastern Thanlaan with Attack on Highbridge

Costa has many FATE's close to each other, which you cycle up and down, left and right on the Cancer side
In a Cancer pop till next Cancer pop, you can gain 1.5 levels easily just doing FATE's

Partying up is essential, if you solo, your doing it wrong + losing out on XP + Seals
 
We really need a prunning. 512 members, but the chat makes it seem like we only have 50.

Oh, I will definitely chat it up. I like to run dungeons and help people out. I mean, is that not what a FC is for? Or do people have their set groups within the FC and don't branch out to the others?

I'm doing it wrong then lol, thanks for the input!.
 
I'm not making the quickest progress on the DoW side of things, but I'm satisfied with where I am right now.

(also bleh subligar)
 
That's cause I started grinding fates I'm Costa with Mira Mora fff. Otherwise it still felt like forever to get to lvl 40 can't imagine how long it'll take to get to 45 let alone 50.

stylin' and slaying

Any white mage's in here? If so, share your healing horror story.

That's in Amdapoor Keep btw... I offtanked every pull up to the first boss as a WHM because the tank never picked up anything but his initial target. A mixture of bombing heals on myself + him + sleeping the odd mob here and there got us to the first boss where we ended up just disbanding when he couldn't pick up any of the adds nor hold on to the boss.

Right after that Ragnar came and laid the smack down tank-wise.
 
Finally got in last night on my sub account and hammered away at Lancer until I hit level 10. It's a strong class with decent synergy, but it feels too slow and repetitive for my liking.

Leg Sweep (3-second stun) offers a few new play options since you can Feint, True Strike, Vorpal, Sweep, circle to back Impulse Drive, and then Feint again.

Nice damage, too.

I'm looking for something a little more dynamic though. Target up close is a pain as well. I miss out on a lot of monsters during FATEs because I'm not targeting monsters fast enough.

I might switch over to Pugilist, or try Archer / Thaumaturge. Arcanist seems fun but pet management with a controller feels like it'll be a frustrating experience.

GTAV will thin a lot of the herd
 
How does partying up give more seals?

I thought the only upside was more mobs credits for individual XP.

If you're doing FATEs, your entire party shares a ranking. So being in a full group pretty much guarantees that you'll get gold, while some tougher bosses or more chaotic trash rushes tend to hand out silver to soloers.
