My girlfriend just got back today so we can finally make characters... and Ultros is closed for registration.

:(

I guess there's always a server transfer down the line... I'm really sad...
 
what do you sell? shards?

Gear, crystals, whatever is selling at the time. I load up on stuff then look at the market history. Whenever the market is short on an item I list at a good price and it usually sells in an hour or less. I casually watch the market.

how do you access market history?
 
I have a question regarding the Leatherworker Skill:

Brand of Earth - CP 15

Increases Progress. Progress doubles when recipe affinity is earth.

How do you know what affinity a recipe is? Is it the type of Shards / Crystals used?

When I use this ability on say Peiste Leather, I get better Progress from Standard Synthesis over Brand of Earth? Shouldn't Progress be doubled? Because it isn't...
 
how do you access market history?
When setting the price for something, the little button that looks like a piece of paper will show you what stuff is priced now and a paper button on that window will show the history.
 
Have the feeling that people who chose gear for possible other jobs theyd level as opposed to allagan pieces when it came to quest rewards are further hamstrung
 
Not sure if I asked this (sorry if I did), but how's SMN in this game? Given the mechanics it's obvious it's not a backup healer like it was for most of FFXI.
 
More damage than anything else besides Holy and it stacks with Aero (I believe).

It does indeed. It's really just something to cast when you're soloing. With both Aeros up and stone spam you can kill things about as fast as anyone else when solo.
 
Selling on the market whatever you don't use makes a ton of money. Prices are insanely inflated in this game, getting thousands for crappy gear I've gotten.

I've been choosing pieces for the most part, especially when a nice amount of silver.

It's a dps class this time. Scholars and White Mages/Conjurors are the healers. Arcanists can be poor healers if needed.
 
Sounds like officers not enforcing rules and people just being insensitive. In short, the guild needs to be managed better.

To my knowledge, none of the officers were available when this was happening. We can't control what 512 people are going to say at all times of the day. This kind of behavior is not acceptable and would be grounds for removal.

We would be more than happy to resolve these issues when and if they are brought to us. Unfortunately, people seem to think it's a better idea to complain about it in this thread instead of reporting it when and where appropriate.

:golf clap: @ Ultros.


Thank you for all the love!

Seriously?

A lot of decent gear is available cheaply on armor merchants. Why are people paying thousands for stuff on the marketplace?

I'm 41 SMN and I have yet to buy any gear. Story Missions and regular quests have good enough rewards to keep you acceptably geared. Save your money for endgame.
 
Oh cool. How does it seem in terms of usefulness (though it may be too early to tell)?

SMN is almost straight DD, they don't bring terribly much utility aside from some off-heals. SCH on the other hand has a full bag of tricks though they aren't as good at direct strong heals as WHM. (Which isn't to say they aren't good healers - they are - they just excel more in mitigation and shields)
 
So people grind fates because it was the path of least resistance for leveling but barely covers your repair bill in terms of Gil generation. Then you have jackasses speedrun every dungeon avoiding all those chests with free gil in them. But now those same people are crying that the economy is broken cause they are broke. Never change MMO userbase.

Oh shit, is this true? What tier of Allagan pieces are in AK and such? Gold? Free money right there.

They have several debuffs they can use, as well as a few spells they can use on longer timers. One of them amplifies the debuffs into a big damage spell. They have a few Avatars, some are decent damage dealers, but more interestingly they have a pretty good tank avatar that can tank single mobs with ease.

Their heal spell is not enough to main heal, but it does enable to them to give the main healer a hand after strong AOE attacks, and to generally, take care of themselves and their avatar.
 
why would you even stuff bronze pieces in chests

wow darklight cowl of fhealing looks rubbish sigh

/hood pls fast
 
seriously

People don't like being tanks. And given the group ratios in this game, it being worse than other DIKU MMOs is unsurprising.
 
whm's aeros stack? no fair, blm's thunders don't, they did on beta :(

I don't know the difference between Thunder 1 and Thunder 2 but Aero 1 is instant and 2 is a standard 2.5 second cast so that might have something to do with it. Different duration too.

Plus WHM's only other offensive spell is a standard nuke with nothing else going on...
 
So yeah I just finished the main storyline. And it's the best FF game released this generation.

Now I know where all the Versus13 devs went to.

It's either that, or most tanks can't beat the previous story dungeons to make it to the later dungeons. Which means less tanks for higher level dungeons.

i need a guide of which vendors sell which lvl gear :/


So i just beat sunken temple. first fun dungeon imo lol. party was getting destroyed by the first boss... seems like stepping on the block... only somtimes fuck over doom? idk. lag. or something.


So yeah, i found a new armor there, yay!!!!!


wait...

god damn it.


What ever happen to japanese and korean mmos having slick ass armor? I haven't seen any yet for paladin :(
 
Considering you'll be getting Materia as well, it's not that bad. It breaks the hearts of folks that want to sit in their shiny gear all the time though.

Isn't that kind of the point in earning that armor? You worked extra hard for it so why shouldn't you be able to sit in it all the time?
 
I actually like that the armor is boring and plain. Like original EverQuest, it makes it feel like there aren't 7000 HEROES running around in beautifully elaborate armor. When you see someone in really impressive armor it has that "wow" effect. Modern MMOs really lack that.
 
So I heard that Warrior isn't viable for endgame. Is this true? Do I need to level my pally if I wanna run Hard dungeons?

Untrue. At lower gear levels PLD might be more desirable for some of the bosses but the two are perfectly usable in any situation. PLD shines more for solo tanking and WAR is more useful for offtanking adds (since they can do more damage during periods when they're not actively tanking).

pfff fuck that. armor design for games should be,

noob gear for the first 10 levels or w/e the tutorial crap is.

rest of the game should be progressively more awesome gear.

until maximum awesomeness.


I want to be a god at max gear doing 9 billion damage.




when do i get some of that shit?
 
So I'm level 46 and have just plain run out of quests/hunting logs... do you seriously have to grind fates for 3 levels till 49 when the next story mission starts? or am I missing a quest hub somewhere? Have done all of Mor Dhona and Northern Thanalan has nothing quest-wise, checked the 40+ areas in east/south shroud and southern thanalan and can't find anything.

I'm getting seriously sick of fate grinding... This game feels unfinished in the late game, the further you get in the story the less and less side quests you find. If this is a design decision, its a pretty shitty one. At this rate I'm gonna burn out on this game before they even charge me a sub.

But I heard that Ifrit HM requires 2 paladins in order to have a chance of beating it, cos of all the interrupts required.

i've done it with 2 pallys, 2 marauders, and one of each

only one pally is really needed for interrupts as long as he's the only one stunning

It's not strictly necessary since MNK and BRD can cover a couple. It depends on your comp but it's never required - I've done it with PLD/WAR and WAR/WAR.
 
for the love of everything holy, i can not beat the History Repeating quest. anyone have ANY idea how to beat it? i have no problem beating the siren's first few spawn groups but as soon as the last group pops theres a really strong mob and like 5 or 6 smaller ones and i always get stomped.

i have Brass Earplugs in my key items, but i have no idea what to do with them :(
