You should have seen some already, check your duty finder and make sure you're doing your story quests. There's a few short 'tutorial' instances (guildhests) that introduce people to partying and basic boss fight mechanics, they give awesome exp rewards the first time you do them.

As for dungeons, you pretty much need to clear them all for the story eventually from what I've seen (I'm only 30). Sastasha at least should be open by now, I went into it at level 18 and everyone said I was way behind.

Thanks. I've got to take a closer look then. I think I did a guildhest for a quest once, but I didn't need a party for that.
 
I would say a primal weapon should be required before titan (either ifrit or garuda). I don't know if DL acc are enough. A lot of the DL accs are a small improvement. You don't need full DL, but some armor is probably needed.

Oh yes, I got Ifrit wep. but Im gonna farm garuda.
Ill probably get the DL body, and the AF2 head, and the rest go with AK for now.

You don't need full DL. Get a few big upgrades and a primal weapon and you will be fine. Is your base HP over 3.4k (or close)? Then your gear is fine.

3.2K base HP (not including Tank party buff or food buff) is going to be a stretch for a BLM, even in full Darklight + Ifrit weapon
 
When do you get access to all those fights that require a party to kill? I haven't seen anything like that so far (granted I'm only at level 18). Are those required to finish the story?

The first dungeon is part of the main story quest, just after the quests that first took you to the three nations via airship.
 
Hm, so this game doesn't really have addon/mod support right?

I was always the type to run bare minimum in other MMORPGs and this game's UI customization is great. But the inventory is driving me nuts.
 
I'm about to hit level 40 so I'm pretty far from endgame content but I really hope there will still be Gaffers willing to help when I get there. It's a bit worrying seeing posts about endgame elitism for sure.

I personally don't care about people greeding loot. I can just do a dungeon again. No biggie. My issue is: Will there be someone to run that dungeon with, lol?
It's not so bad. I'm not even that talkative in the FC chat but every time i've asked for help there have been Gaffers willing to assist. Had a great GAF group help me through CM a few days ago and they even explained to our DF Tank that this was a story run.
 
Yup, seems like that's my next quest.

Can you buy equipment over level 15? Or do you have to make it yourself?

Quest gear should be sufficient for your battle class but when I was leveling crafting I was worried that you'd be reliant on the market etc for that kind of gear. But it seems that towns have their own shops that have level-appropriate gear if you're missing a piece or two. Problem is it gets pretty expensive after level 20 stuff so maybe the market board would be better (even if it's gouge city a lot of the time).

So yeah, if you can't buy it in the main cities it's probably in a quest hub town of the level range you're thinking of. Problem is it's hard to tell if people are overcharging on the market or if that's the real vendor price. Personally I really like crafting gear for myself to use as an armorer but holy crap is it ever slowing down my leveling process. Especially since I don't really need gear if I want to Fate grind, although I prefer questing.

I have found myself with an excess of seals so I've bought a few pieces of my Grand Company gear. The sword was a pretty big upgrade at 30 and the ring is waaaay better than what I had before.
 
lol... I think I'm dumb.

So was that 6 gig thing I was just prompted to DL from PSN the same data already on the disc? I DL it and it says "the data is already installed, do I want to overwrite?"

hahaha what a waste of bandwidth! my cap is crying now.

edit: hmm... now i got an 800 error during the install. what a mess this is for me.
 
3.2K base HP (not including Tank party buff or food buff) is going to be a stretch for a BLM, even in full Darklight + Ifrit weapon

BLM have more base HP than healers. I have full DL + relic and have 3.8k as a healer. It is different for everyone, but I am including food buff in the 3.4k.
 
Are there quests for blacksmiths beyond the guild? I really don't feel like crafting the same item over and over to get to level 15.

Edit: Seems I can do some Levequests. :)

I didn't realize how big Levequests could be until I delivered a HQ item for one. I got something like 14k bonus exp whereas normally I'd only get the base 4000 or so.

So I'm definitely going to save those for crafting from now on.
 
I don't understand how people are so bad. Like, I understand messing up once or twice. But the first boss of Qarn is SUPER EASY as a DPS. All you do is attack the boss, attack bees, and move to remove Doom. That is it. You don't even have to kite the bees, they do absolutely no auto-attack damage. Just attack the bees, move to the glowy runes, and attack the boss.

Seven wipes. The DPS either forgot to attack the bees or forgot about the Doom. I even would say "Doom" in /p chat and they'd ignore it.

Ugh, I say. Ugh.
 
Doesn't it end today?

Got an extra week due to server errors r' us

So I think October 6th, 7th as start date when all new accounts will get hit with subscription fee

Sever population will shift due to it, hopefully SE goes full force on all RMT's cause it's really needed
I have to turn shouts on for Mor Dhona, if even for a sec I forget to turn them off when I enter a city, my chat goes bonkers with them, it's unreal

Can't they just place 1 GM @ each city and just ban hammer them away?
 
Wow... what a pain in the butt setting this up and updating everything has been. Finally about to play though, just a couple mins.

Excited.

Now to spend like a hundred hours in the character creator. haha
 
BLM have more base HP than healers. I have full DL + relic and have 3.8k as a healer. It is different for everyone, but I am including food buff in the 3.4k.

The relic weapon, which people cant have if theyre doing Titan as progression is worth +150 HP for a healer, +210 HP for a BLM, which is a pretty big chunk. BLM also have the same HP multiplier as WHM & SCH (and SMN for that matter). In full DL BLM should have 296 VIT which gives around 3190 HP, so as I said unbuffed its a stretch.
 
Man, I've never seen a greater amount of people quit out of a dungeon before Stone Vigil.

I really want this Shadow Bow, but I'm also tempted to just say fuck it.
 
Gaius NA voice is alright. Most of the voices are okay, but I think the voice direction was bad. Sometimes you have to ask "That's the take they went with?"

Ha ha so it was a Reddit mod on /r/ffxiv and his guild purposefully ruining Titan Pugs on Ultros.

Who?
 
Just went to Mor Dhona for the first time and I'm surprised at how many people are here. FFXIV's Port Jeuno.

I really hope the first expansion introduces a more spacious town that can serve as central hub. Mor Dhona is so small. (though shouting while doing fates is nice, i guess)
 
What server is NA gaf on (PS3)?

edit: nvm... I see the google doc.
 

Eanae.
From what I've seen he claims to not be involved in it and that everything is just a witch hunt but does admit to running Titan runs and trying to push the price up because he thinks it's unfair they charge 500k on other servers but only 150k on his. There was a screencap from a steam where he can be seen saying how they need to make them (the players) desperate and once they ralise they are price fixing they will be screwed.

http://ffxivrealm.com/threads/the-deliberate-griefing-and-selling-of-hm-fights.7744/

Claims not to be sabotaging runs but does admit to working with other FCs on his server to push prices up and didn't delete or ban people on reddit because of this (though does mention in a screen cap he would have deleted the post pointing it all out).
 
Anyone else constantly getting 90000 errors? I've been trying for hours to log in. I'll usually get passed the loading screen and as soon as I move I get kicked and then I can't access the NA/EU servers for awhile after that.

Been having this problem this whole week, but it seems like everyone else has been playing just fine.
 
Is storyline Titan usually done before or after Qarn? Beat him in a PUG last night (while watching my group from the bottom of the pit lol) and then realized I'm 3-4 levels above Qarns recommendation.

I believe I did Titan before that dungeon, but then, I was vastly over-leveled for all of the storyline content.
 
I really hope Square gets around to adding a couple more summoning bells in each city. The cluster of people around them really gets to be too much at times. Even if they just added ones next to the other market boards 20 feet away it'd help a lot.
 
What's the worst CPU that you can get 30fps with, (assuming infinite GPU power) in theory?
Because the latest news is that maxing the game out besides physics doesn't affect my framerate (same as lowest res and everything on minimum) but it's still unplayable.
My CPU is by far the weak link in my PC, but it's better than the listed minimum. (i5 650)

Yeah, I'm finding I'm 3-4 levels over most of the story stuff for now. I don't mind I like being overpowered an it might somewhat mitigate my overall average play lol (for a time)

In your inn room you have the summoning bell for yourself. It's where I head all the time, as it's not that far away from the market.
 
Remember everyone, there's two sides to every story and you're only getting one side of it. Numerous attempts have been made to reach out and help Grave Robber, and it's always a bad time. No one cared when you said you were going to quit in FC chat, or in mumble, so congrats on getting the sympathy you were looking for in the thread. gg

you confuse my curiosity for sympathy
 
Lol I think someone in the FC blacklisted me today for expressing an opinion. He typed his blacklist command so fast he typoed it and sent it into FC chat. Then he pretended it was a mistell.

Awkward.

But really, what a dumb reason to blacklist other people.

That makes me wonder if I'm on anybody's blacklist, since I've had a couple of disagreements with FC-mates before.
 
so as I said unbuffed its a stretch.

And I never said unbuffed. And I have seen many blms easily able to reach 3.4k without downing titan before. This is 3.4k while in the titan fight so all buffs apply. I am not sure what you are trying to argue. Yeah you can't hit 50 and have that much hp, but it isn't hard either.
 
Have a Lv. 50 Carpenter, and my botany is only a level and a half away from hitting the 50 mark as well. Looking for my next craft that would complement those two. I'm debating between alchemy and culinary.

Anyone have any thoughts?
