I'm working well with the Arcanist class(Summoner) on the controller. You really won't have to worry about giving your pet orders until your around level 30 or so, by then you surely would have mastered swapping your hot bars.

As for your pet disappearing, do you mean withdrawing?

Yes, if I hop on my mount after doing a FATE for e.g. more often than not I look to my party list to see the pet has withdrawn itself.

What do you mean swapping hotbars? I know that the keyboard layout has a pet bar by default, but I'm not sure how I would work that into a controller layout without being hard to manage.
 
They really need to fix targeting with the controller. That's my one HUGE problem with it. Other than that, it's gravy.

I remember doing Brayflox and fighting the first boss. I'm a WAR and when the adds spawn I switch over them to get their emnity on me. After they've all been burned, I try to switch back over to the boss. I seriously have to intervene with my mouse because I'll try to target him like 10 times with the controller and it would always just target a random party member. I get that issue in FATEs as well.

i have the same problem, i was complaining about it today in a random pug group and the healer recommended i set up filters for it as they where on ps3 and have done so and it's alot better, not really sure how to go about doing that lol
 
Monk so fun when you can actually get in a dungeon, then the most boring thing ever waiting a hour for queue. Thinking about switching to gaf server when server transfers open.
 
Did The Wanderer Palace and it was a lot of fun, we beat the dunegon too and we were all new to it. Is good to have someone that did the dunegon but is also really fun exploring it with first timers. No preaasure and lots of great moments too.

Change the filters to enemy only.
 
How in the world do you normally beat the 2nd boss on Aurum?
we got him down to 2% but the dps didn't use the LB.

how do you avoid the 1hit kill? I can get over 30 feet away but it still kills me every single time.

You might be having monsters aggro you as you are riding away, and your pet is on the guard command by default, so he will attack the monsters that attack you. When this happens, your pet will get left behind and withdraw itself after a certain distance. To keep this from happening, switch his command to Steady before riding away.

To swap your hotbar to your pet's commands, tap R1. In order to select a specific hotbar(not your pet's), hold R1 and press one of the face buttons(e.g. X, Square, Triangle, etc.).
 
They really need to patch in how much progress is left on a FATE in the minimap. It's irrelevant knowing how much time is left when the progress is about to be completed.

Curious as to why people do FATE groups, do you get more EXP/seals from being in a group?
Click to expand...

The more people that tag mobs the more xp, the more contribution from people in the party means the less you have to do to get gold. Best strategy especially on single boss type fates is to be in a full group and say the boss is at 100 percent health, stay and dps until maybe 60/70 percent is left, then leave and go to the next fate, you will get gold.

The group shares contribution, so it's easier to get Gold rank. Since fates get zerged pretty quickly, having a whole party helps you get gold even if you only get a few hits in.

Got ya. I never see anyone specify their levels when shouting for groups. Does it not matter? Thanks for the answers.

XP is individualized, if they are a extremely low or high level their xp gains only affect them from what I have seen, so no it really does not matter what level someone is.

Not to scare you off but server transfers aren't coming anytime soon. And when they do it will only be from Ultros to another server. Not the other way around. Your best bet is waiting for character creation to be unlocked again on Ultros. At this rate that is going to be at least a week or maybe even longer.

just had a nice run in wanderer's palace. the healer pulled half the dungeon on accident and got herself killed on every occasion. then we lost the bard, but replacement came in seconds. we wiped a few times. that gave me time to memorize the dungeon a bit better. it wasn't smooth at all, but it was more fun than previous runs because nobody was stressful. at the end i even got rewarded with a nice new axe. fun and success.
 
So this problem about Fate bosses not even being visible unless you have a really good computer when multiple party members are on screen, is this necessarily a game breaking problem and can we expect something like this to get patched soon?

They can change the priority for pt members and enemies in some patch in the future
, but still is not game breaking.

The 100 ton sttack? it's a cone attack, you have to run behind it. the 1000 ton one is a aoe attack but it dosn't hurt as much.

I have a really good pc and fate bosses still disappear, there is just way too many people, they need to make it so the boss is always visible and make players disappear.

I have a i7 4770k @ 4.5ghz, gtx 770, 16gb ram, ssd, etc. Still happens.

I had no idea that was already setup like that. I feel like a dumbass.

I'll give it a whirl I guess, thanks.

Yup, culling is server side. It's a necessary evil.

Everyone needs to

So, I got an email from SE store saying its backordered, yet on their main site it says available. Way to false advertise, lol. Cancelled it.

Guess I'll just wait and play PS3 version for now.
 
Am I just missing it, or is there no better way to check prices on items than to go to the market board and search one by one? In other words, no way to check from my retainer before I put it up for sale?

If not, no wonder people are undercutting. They probably don't even realize what things are selling for and just think up a price that it will sell at from the retainer screen. That's why I haven't even sold much yet - it's not worth the hassle of checking the prices on stuff to just clear it out the inventory space.

You need to keep an eye on his casting bar as lots of his abilities don't have an aoe casting area.

Swipe = 180 Degree attack, so you can run behind him and avoid it.

Swing = 360 Degree attack, this is when you need to run away as far as possible.

Growler(?) = Range people need to start moving away the moment he turns around, don't wait for his cast bar to start running as it has a low cast time.

Eye of the beholder = 150 degree frontal attack, when you see the emote people need to run to he sides.

Also once he does eye he will also do an aggro dump on the party. So be ready to use provoke and shield lob/tomahawk throw at that moment to regain aggro.

You can check the actual prices in the window for putting the selling price...
 
All I want for the first patch is to display my own combat text minus everyone else, also make my own dots/debuffs bigger and more visible. Give me that Yoshi P please.
 
Do any Legacy user got a spare Fantasia they wouldn't mind parting with? I'll even compensate with real money.

Its getting hard to wait these 30 days for my Veteran Rewards to turn my Elezen into a Lalafell.
 
Now I understand why people are complaining about rage in Duty Finder.

Can people not just alt tab for 2 minutes and check how to do the fight?

If you want to level up hella fast FATE's are the way to go

For me it's

Western Thanlaan - 1-7 north of the outpost (abuse the windmill area FATEs), 7-11 west of the outpost (the 5 FATEs cycle here on the bridge area before Horizon), 11-15 the water area between Horizon and Vesper bay (the 2 FATE's here)

Eastern Thanlaan - 15-20 before Highbridge (lots of chasing FATEs too spread out, but reachable ), 20-25 Highbridge area (very compact, Attack on HB I,II, II give ridiculous amount of XP)

South Shroud - 25-30 anything near the Quarrymill or other side of the Inn horizontally

Costa del Sol - 30-37 The whole Eastern Map, Cancer side, too much XP

Coerthas - 37-42 The grad daddy of them all, too many FATEs, not enough time to do all of them, Return by your team is key to getting good XP
Pro-Tip don't use Teleport >_<

Mor Dhona 42-45 Near the sanctuary and around it

North Thanlaan 45-50 *DAT Dark Devices *Bites Lip* EVERYTHING!
Go, Go, Gorgimera!
Click to expand...

Just want to add on 2 additional area for FATE farming lv17-25:
East Shroud - 15-25 between The Hawthorne Hut and Little Solace (much closer, highly recommended FATE farming area)
Upper La Noscea - 20-25 between Fool Falls, Poor Maid's Mill, Memeroon's Trading Post area (Lesser chasing, another good recommened area)

hope its helpful for those leveling 2nd class or even trying to get seals for the chocobo mount. I recommend doing FATE farming in East Shroud instead of Eastern Thanlaan, since Eastern Thanlaan has lots of chasing in a vast wide map
