Here's my current game plan to level 35 (I need new equipment for a Dragoon and awesome stuff opens up at 35):

I'm currently level 31, so by the time I finish up in Haukke Manor I should be 32 and ready for Brayflox.

I'll be farming Brayflox until I get to level 35, all the while hoping that I get awesome loot from my runs. Is Brayflox a pretty easy dungeon to go through?

This has gotten pretty out of hand. Just login earlier to chat with a friend, but couldn't read jack shit, except for a wave of gil farm ad clogging up my chat box.


What the Fuck.

Current levels for my DoH / DoL.

The DoL stuff is a lot lower as to its just mind numbing D: Plus am not wasting leves on them. Far too important for the DoH stuff. Been bouncing around a lot gaining a few levels here and there for the DoH stuff, but mainly been doing armor as its for my MRD/WAR. Saves a ton when you make your own HQ sets, plus being able to cram in materia yourself.

 

[Dunan]

Go to infront of Aleport in La Noscea - Western La Noscea.

Parakeetman, those are very detailed maps. Where did you get it from? (Aside from imgur, that is.)

Brayflox endboss fight is pretty.... tricky, but doable. So you should be fine. But in my three runs I only got mage equipment.

In how many hours is maintenance?

I think it was the first OT that someone had posted them and I just saved them.

I should be able to re-up all 3 of them if you want. But the file size is quite huge.

Heres the images reupped.

BUT WHAT DO ALL THE ICONS MEAN?!

 

[QisTopTier]

Aw, no 50% EXP boost for DoH classes?! =(

there are scrolls you can buy with GC seals to get a 50% boost

 

[Recall]

Incredible maps, know I know where to grind fates that are roughly in my level range as I wait for the duty finder.

 

[Parakeetman]

Damned things are a pretty penny too at 2300 a pop. Or was it 2600. One of those. Im constantly buying them, since cant rank up anyways till I hit 50.

BUT WHAT DO ALL THE ICONS MEAN?!

I just re-upped the tools. You do the legwork son.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I just read through this:

http://accomp.me/ffxiv/im-50-now-what/

Some good info on what to do once you hit level 50.

 

[Jayhawk]

I believe the original source of those maps is this page: http://home.comcast.net/~nakomaru/ffmaps/

Basically grind hard dungeons / bosses. hmm yeah no thanks.

 

[Baleoce]

For Disciple of Hand classes, do you just grind the levels up using leves at the appropriate camps?

 

[Parakeetman]

Basically figure out whats the most efficient mats wise + request and always ALWAYS turn in the HQ version.

The ones that request 3 items at once, you will have the chance to turn in 9 items on a single leve so those are great for tons of exp if you have the mats to produce HQ items for all of them.

Other stuff is just grinding it out between, but I highly suggest saving the leves till you are higher level than blowing it on the lower ones.

Man solo fate grinding is getting slow since I'm in the coerthas range again, I hate that place. Guess time to take a break and farm a few dungeons.

What level are you?

 

[Anteater]

What level are you?

36, or is there a better area? I'm too high for costa del sol apparently.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Up in Dragonhead? It's a pain to navigate that area for FATEs. It has level 36-46 FATEs, and I managed to actually do a couple of the high level 30s FATEs with my level 31 DRG there. I got knocked on my ass by some snow jackals, eventually. >_>

 

[Parakeetman]

Its far too spread out which is what makes it a huge chore to get all the FATEs even more so if there are a ton of people there which makes them vanish even faster. At your level if you go there stay away from the ones in the top left side till you hit at least 40.

I swear to god im going to be seeing mythril ingots in my dreams with how many Ive made. D:

 

[Recall]

Playing on a Keyboard and Mouse on my PS3 is great except for having to click skills as you cannot bind skills to the keyboard. Which in turn has made running dungeons far more about looking at where I'm clicking rather than my positioning.

This needs to be fixed.

Google brings up some suggestions on a fix but lack clarity on how to truly implement what they are suggesting.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Yeah when I was doing quests there I rarely run into any doable Fates because they often end in seconds

The only one that I really consider good and reachable is the 3 step one that starts with an escort -> defend -> boss fight with huge dragon. Since it starts from the main keep at the mid top usually where everyone is in a holding pattern anyways. So most of the time its easy to get it from the start. Then theres the other one that takes place right outside of the north keep gate which is defeat the smaller dragons.

 

[Ken]

huh random 90k

 

[GorillaJu]

There's a vendor in each town, You need Wet Bomb Ash to get in though. There's a mid level FATE in Costa de Sol on the beach that rewards it. There's also lowbie ones but I don't remember where I saw it.

I got some in Central Thanalan right by the Silver Bazaar.

 

[Manu]

Still upset about my Halatali run from last night. Ugh.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

The 3-step FATE up in Dragonhead was madness, though. My FPS dropped to 30 and sound clipping all over the place. It's just way too crowded up there.

I'm liking Costa Del Sol as a farming spot for levels 30 to 35. Getting to the FATEs and back to Sanctuary isn't a pain and relatively easy. Plus, a giant enemy crab named Cancer spawns some times for 17k EXP (Gold).

Also, I put 58 Bombard Ash in the GAF FC chest a couple of days ago.

Seems like Square are going to keep the most popular servers on lock down for new characters until the paid server transfer launches, and then hope people will have invested enough time in characters on other servers to pay instead of create new.

couple of noob questions

- what does 'pug' mean in phrases such as "the pug killer". I keep reading it as pugilist.. but that is clearly wrong.


- can someone explain this Odin fight occurrence. how do I join the fight? is it random? is it a FATE? is it end game only? (I'm on my way to fight garuda next)


thanks

PUG

Pick
Up
Group

Basically "randoms" in terms to a party with other players.

The odin thing is a rare FATE I do believe. Forgot what the exact location is.

 

[ChuckNyce]

Current UI:

I like! Might have to steal that

 

[Einbroch]

Pug means pick up group. Pug killers are rooms that require extra coordination,something some pugs don't have, and can lead to groups disbanding or arguments.

Apparently the treasure room of Stone Vigil is one, but it wasn't a problem if you know what line of sight is.

PUG = pick up group.

The Odin FATE spawns every 3 days apparently, and he'll spawn at a random place (some people have seen him at North and South Shroud). It's a level 50 FATE.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I'll probably use a couple of leves on it a day maybe, just because I'm at the 100 cap anyway, and as long as I'm not consuming them faster than they come back it should be alright. I don't really use leves for combat classes.

I'm guessing that higher level DoH it's a lot easier to guarantee a HQ?

 

[RellyRell28]

I have a GC hunting log question. I just completed rank 1 of the hunting logs and want to to know how do you move to rank 2 since it didn't move to it automatically. Do you have to rank up or talk to someone?

You need to rank up to the second tier. Can't unlock it without a complete log, and can't advance the log without it.

 

[Ken]

bah, no one doing fates at this hour in horizon

Yeah the higher level you are the easier it is to grind out a HQ item. Since if you are trying to always do stuff your current level might be difficult or just plain outright stressful. Though the exp is better the chance of blowing expensive mats kinda dampens the enthusiasm. Which is why I personally usually drop leves one rank lower than what the current top one is.

lol if you are at the 100 cap fuck it and go for it man!

 

[chickdigger802]

shit... maintenance after i get home. I guess no this tonight.

 

[Tarazet]

Ice Elementals in Coerthas. You can also mine them starting at 16ish, I believe.

You can gather all shards at level 1. A Botanist can get ice shards in Central Shroud as soon as you pick up the hatchet.

 

[Kokonoe]

So yeah, Fishing -> Dungeons and everything else.

 

[daveo42]

Ran the last two story dungeons last night with an guildie and all of the battles seemed much easier on a 2nd pass for some reason. Was able to clear both in around 2.5 hours, including wait times between instances.

Also ran AK and realize that I need to continue to re-double my efforts as a WHM in my ability to be both highly mobile and able to quickly heal my team. I still have some work to do and areas where I can improve. I think I also want to try at getting an Ifrit weapon before running AK again to help boost my base stats.

 

[me Jojo]

Wonder if we're getting another free week, cuz I'm STILL getting 1037's ALL the time I'm trying to log in.

Miner ftw. One node:

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Miner ftw. One node:

How much can you sell those for

I need a good income in the game

Also, what's the symbol after the ore?

I love it when that happens. So satisfying.

 

[Zalasta]

Btw am guessing the higher level botanist is what collects white coral? Am still going out of my mind trying to find HQ pieces of the stuff.

Botanist isnt high enough currently if it is the right job to find it.

White coral is fished. Ocean. Around level 15.

 

[Kyoufu]

Around 2k each. That's the HQ symbol.

High Quality symbol~
