Hmm, so I have another fantasia in the mail so I can't accept my rewards. Now I don't know what to do. Should I delete the one in my inventory? Can I use the one in my inventory and then take the one out of my mail? Ugh.

Someone in FC told me I could put it on a retainer - so problem avoided!
 
Damnit! I accidentally selected "Standard" for my sub. I know it's only $2, but it feels like such a waste!!!

I really don't see why anyone, apart from RPers, would need more than one character.
 
Um, can't tell if I'm really doing this wrong or if I'm experiencing a bug. I'm stuck on this quest called Washed Up where I talk to the head guy at Summerford and he wants me to gather up five of his slacking farmer-pirates. And I can't find one -- the one who is supposed to be right there in the middle of town. Is the last guy just hidden really well? There are a ton of farmer-pirates slacking off and dancing or sleeping but none of them are clickable. I've been walking around in the tiny circle (on the map) where this person is supposedly hidden for half an hour now. Can anyone help me? Pretty please?

I really want to get past this level 7 story quest.. just finished my first day of playing and I'm level 18... chocobo here I come?


*edit*

Oh god I'm an idiot, little bastard found
 
I received my Veteran rewards this morning, but when I used the item for the eye mount, it did not get added to the mount menu...anyone else have this problem?
 
Has there been an official word on character transfers at all? My guild is such a mess with characters all over the place, then closed digital sales really screwed players out of the game so long with many now out leveled everyone. All these launch troubles are going to hurt our guild from being into this game for long.
 
Thanks, I'm not that high up yet in level for crafting, so I was just wondering if Rumination or Waste Not would be best for 40 durability synths. I think the end result is that...they're the same there. :\

You may be at a point in your leveling where Waste Not isn't as useful as using Rumination, but I assure you that Waste Not (and especially Waste Not II) are top tier skills at "endgame" crafting for HQing to milk the most out of your synth's durability.

40 durability synths are infamous, anyway.

Trying to HQ 40-durability synths is HARD.

Not really, if you have several crafts leveled. I can HQ 1star 40-durability synths with NQ mats with about an 80~% average HQ rate. As others mentioned, you can't use a macro to do it because you have to adjust to your orb and your Touch fail rate. As des said, thought, you can macro for easy recipes (where you don't need to ever use Observe, really) and still HQ easily with the right skills.

Cross Class Skills

Here is an example of what I do

Inner Quiet > Steady Hand > Waste Not > Standard touch 4X > Rumination > Steady Hand > Standard Touch > Careful Synthesis

You can mess around with that formula a bit but the skills make HQ so easy depending on how good your stats are and what the level difference is.
 
well i guess i'll be gone for a bit then :(

Is it reeeally that hard for them to scatter some more sideevents around? This 'revamp' been at the works for a fair amount of time, having a plethora of content until cap should be a given no?


Any word on them tweaking leve and dungeons to give more comparable exp to FATEs?

Thats what the second or third time that you said you were going to leave now? Its not that hard to level in this game. This is coming from someone thats never maxed out a character in an mmo before and has a warrior at 50 here. I wasnt even putting all that much effort into it either.

Using Rumination is usually a waste if you have Byregot's.

Side quests are there, try looking for them. Cortheas isint the only area with 40+ content.

That said, GTAV is out today.
 
Think I may take a few weeks off from the game (haven't been playing the last three days anyway). Not exactly thrilled with endgame, so the closer I am to 2.1, the better, right? The actual reason is that I have three fantastic Wii U games I've bought, but haven't played much and I may also steal GTAV from my brother at some point.

In any case, are they selling the game again?

Could be that the story isnt advanced enough either. Since it seems that quests also pop up once the story has progressed vs the usual which appears due to ones level. Found that to be a little odd with how they designed that part of the game.

I laughed at this more than I should have, and yeah, it's back on sale.

Im only in the 25 range with all my crafts and rumination is the bomb

That combo i listed gives 5 guaranteed touches along with a guaranteed safe synth if your level/stats are high enough

You mean the plethora of content like... Leves, dungeons, FATEs, behests, quests (main and side and class/job), open-world grinding (which is good exp if you do it with a party and chain high)? Taking advantage of the tools the game puts in front of you to gain exp should be a given, no?

Are you saying I can't just follow the quest marker trail to level?! I have to actually put to use the half-dozen exp-generating tools the game throws at me? NONSENSE!

Yeah, it's a great skill, I'm just saying once you get Byregot's you'll probably be relying on that for quality jumps instead of Rumination.

What does Byregots do anyways. I haven't looked up all the skills yet
 
How do you guys run out of quests in the 40's? I've ran into that issue only toward 47/48 and that was my final stretch until the 49ish for story progression.

Actually its pretty easy to knock out all the quests on the consideration that you are up to date with your story progression. Since we are allowed to warp all over the place and most quests are not that difficult to begin with.

The question more should be why in the name of Christ Almighty are you having problems leveling. lol
 
From Hvinire

After receiving a lot of feedback in version 1.0 about the job artifact armor quests being overly frustrating due to the fact that they were placed within dungeons or at the end of difficult battles, the development team decided to make them easier to earn in A Realm Reborn.

As mentioned, there are definitely more difficult challenges available for players who seek a greater reward for their efforts.

I don't think I care if this underdog story has a happy ending or not.
 
Since I got to 50 dont have to worry about doing combat ever again and can focus on upping all of the crafting jobs once again.

Well, finished Stone Vigil tonight. Went in with a DF group, but, the Healer bailed, so I had to call in a Gaffer to help us out. I kinda feel like we embarrassed ourselves a bit in that dungeon, but, with so many first timers. XD

Big shout out to Safflox. You da Bomb! :D

Edit: Or, was it Safflower? Dagnabit I'm too young to be having such a spotty memory! XD

That was probably Safflower, one of the GAF FC officers. :3

If your doing nothing but quests, it's very easy as the game has a major lack of them. Game requires a person to do a mix of everything, leves, guildheists, dungeon runs, GC content, fates, hunting logs etc. If you do it as straight up WoW like theme park quest hub runs, then your going to quickly hit a wall as there is not enough xp from them to level. You got to constantly mix it up in this game which I think is hurting some folks experience as they rather just quest.
 
It gives you about 1000 quality almost every synth if you use it right. I think my record is around 1500 on an 80 durability recipe. http://xivdb.com/?skill/100009/Byregot's-Blessing

Holy crap that skill is awesome

Not surprised that its a lvl 50 skill

Pretty sure the combos I listed will be far more useful for the people here since they are easily attainable by getting a couple crafts to 15 XD

I am definitely going to try to get Carp to 50 though
 
So I was looking at my bank account, and I noticed I was charged two times by SE. Once was $12.99 which was what I was expecting, but then there was another $1.00 separate charge... Anyone know what that is? I assumed the $12.99 included the character slots. I have no other characters available on any other server besides 1 on Excalibur and an old character on another server.

Also did Stone Vigil for the first time last night. A party with two gaffers (Aurialis Valencia and Jadeflower? something along those lines) and one DPS off the duty finder. The DPS got d/c'ed for awhile and came back, but we ended up beating the last boss with only 4 minutes left on the timer. So tense! Probably my favorite dungeon so far.

Might just be a verification charge. Is this the first time youre using this card for FFXIV?
Is it pending or did it post? If its still pending, give it a few days. If it doesnt drop out of pending or if it ever actually posts to the card, call them up and see what it is.

leveling isn't the issue, its just i have zero interest in FATEs or leves.

I'm pretty sure I used this card already once in 1.0, but... not 100% certain on that. It's still pending, I think. So maybe it'll go away.
