I just mocked up a transfer and I can do it. Going to triple check that my old in-game friend isn't coming back and if not I'll be Sylphin.

Need some help with those mean Lich's in the Necropolis
Which server are you on? I just started playing again like an hour ago but I think I remember enough to punch some Lichs. I'm on Bahamut.
As someone said upthread, there's an alternate way of getting your level cap items.Need some help with those mean Lich's in the Necropolis

Getting a crazy amount of nostalgia from the music in Jeuno and Bastok Markets. Also feeling a little overwhelmed trying to figure out where I left off. Just spent an hour unlocking Trust NPCs. Seems like it could be a pretty neat system for soloing. Now just to figure out where to go next...

Lala, I can help you out later tonight. I'll be on this evening, but if you're looking to do it right now you can do it the alternate way Saph mentioned earlier in the thread.

I'm on sylph. Ok Pan, I'll be on tonight!
I tried that method and couldn't find any ???
They should be at specific locations, it's probably on wiki somewhere.

Wheeeeee!
Also GDI SE! I went through a LOT of trouble to avoid that spoiler!
UGH!
I do have to pack and spend my points tonight, but if anyone wants to do mad SoA mission catch up, I can help with the fights BECAUSE OMG I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO BE BEHIND TWO CHAPTERS.
And SE seems to love doing these story updates on days I'm traveling!

I moved to Fenrir to be withs ome old friends yesterday, and it was a long productive day. Did some AA runs, did tier 1 Delve.
So nice to have friends in the game, you aren't held back by all that gear/desired jobs bullshit. Managed to snag Oats, the 110 sword, asperity, and half of the datk set, both MACC earrings as well. If anything my BLU got a nice bump, lol.

So reading through various guides about things added in the last couple years and it led me to tutorial Records of Eminence. I'm kind of scratching my head at the gear sets that are available. They're just so ridiculously powerful. I take it those sets should be my priority at 99? They're so much better than the perle and +1 Abyssea pieces I'm wearing.
Eminence gear is a great base to start from when gearing up, because of the ilevel stats and such, but it's not going to outright replace everything else. Definitely make sure that you've got your RoEs active so that you can buy a few pieces as soon as you hit 99.
Reforged Empyrean armor is going to be added in a future update, so definitely don't throw them away.

The reason the gears are so powerful is because SE decided not to increase the level cap and decided instead to increase our levels through gear. New high level gears have an iLevel (item Level) rating on them now with the maximum currently available being iLevel 119. So basically when you wear all iLevel 119 gear it's the equivalent to being level 119.
You should probably get those RoE gears to start so you can do Reives and farm bayld. Once you have bayld you can start doing Wildskeeper Reives and get the iLevel 115 gears that drop from there and augment them. They are better than the 117 RoE gears. Also with bayld you can buy much better 117 gears from the Peacekeepers Coalition (Gorney +1, Shneddick +1 Weatherspoon +1). Once you have a good combination of those gears you can start working on upgrading your Artifact and Relic armors to 119 and getting 119 delve gear. For weapons, the 117 RoE ones are very decent to start with, If you have some Gil though, you can easily make 119 weapons right away from the npc Oboro in Port Jeuno. Each weapon will run you like 2-2.5 mil from buying the items he requests from the Auction House. Skirmish can also be a good way to get some nice gears but not a lot of people do the older Skirmish which you need to get base weapons and armors though you can solo them with trusts if you wanted to.
If you need Gil its very easy to make it. Just do Dynamis, Salvage II and Voidwatch. Voidwatch is particularly great because it's fast and you also get merit points which you need to buy KIs for the fights to upgrade artifact and relic to 119.
Hope that helps.

I haven't been able to login at all today. So much for my prime time to dyna farm!
We'll probably do tier 2 this weekend, but my friend who organizes a lot of the Delve runs on Fenrir says it's a lot more challenging so we may have to have better job setups. We'll see.
Haha, yeah everyone in our group besides a couple of my friends who recently returned, and myself, had all been there numerous times. They made it clear that they didn't want any of the drops lol.

The thing with Delve II is that you can't stunlock all the dangerous stuff, and they all have pretty nasty AoE.

Thanks for the info. I haven't picked up the latest expansion yet, so I'll probably focus on the Sparks for now. Is Abyssea still the best xp 76-99?
I went there and saw nothing. Maybe Im just not getting the pressure plate thing, Ill have pan help me.

It won't be visible, you'll have to target around to find it. You'll be able to target the invisible ??? when close.
About time. Only took you two and a half years.
Crawler's Nest maybe?

I did page 2 in Lower Delkfutt until the mobs were too weak then I moved too Upper Delkfutt and did the Giga x6 page 1 until Lv50. Went to Crawler's Nest and did page 1 > page 2 > page 4 until about Lv 63
Jumped back in today, hopefully for a good long while.
Currently working on CoP, but I thought I'd take a break and gather all the trusts I can. Are there any trusts that are clearly better than others? I'll probably be sticking to DRK/SAM the whole time if that matters, and I assume it does. As of now, I only have the Bastok trusts.
EDIT: Volker and Ayame shit on Naji the second I summoned them. Awesome.

Gadalar x Shantotto x Coffin for me usually. I'll replace Gadalar if his nukes become too much of a nuisance but when I exp I'm never fighting anything that takes too long to kill so adds aren't a problem.

Amazon or steam. You'll get a download of the full game, install from that, register you code on the SE account site, and you'll get anything you don't have yet added to your account. Bonus items like hat and shirt are registered separately.

Why is speed hacking so prominent in this game now? I see it everywhere. I'm really tempted to report everyone, lol.

I like to spend it on 119 chapters since the 109 chapters are easy to get.

For people currently following this game, has there been any recent server merger talks from community management?... Or anything about a progression server?

Some thoughts on my first two days back in the game:
After reading up on the things added over the last couple of years I decided to solo a small NM Skirmish. Felt really good as the last NM died with under a minute to go. After getting booted I checked my inventory to see my spoils and... shit. I guess I should've done a little more reading as I had no idea about the key that gets added to your inventory after you complete the main objective. 30 minutes down the drain.
I have to stay I'm still at a loss for how powerful the 117 Spark armor and weapons are. I was able to pick up a full set and weapon right off the bat from tutorial Records of Eminence and a few others. I spent a lot of today researching 119 artifact and relic pieces for my PUP and I guess I'll get on that next. I'll be starting from scratch on those so we'll see how it goes.
Decided to start getting some Dynamis KIs so I went into Bastok this morning. Steamrolled my way to the boss and it cast Death on me when it was almost dead. Note to self: bring reraise next time. Guess I'll try again tomorrow.
There's still so much I want to try. Unfortunately without a Linkshell I'm limited to soloing with Trusts at the moment. So now I'm trying to figure out what's soloable or not. If anyone can let me know if any these are soloable I'd appreciate it:
Voidalker NMs. Never messed with it a bit.
High Tier Misson Battlefields
BCNMs with relevlant crafting materials or useful gear.
I'm pretty much running on trial and error at this point. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be the abundance of info about this game that there was back when I used to play.

Are magian trial weapons something I should be concentrating on?
I was always confused as hell about them when they first came out but I finally kinda figured out the flow.
I think I want to go the multi-attack katana route (gettin NIN to cap first before my PLD so I can use it to farm Dynamis).
Are trial weapons basically the best you can do for more solo-oriented people?

You will never finish a Magian weapon soloing.
Good point.
Considering I'm already tired of this waiting around having to kill the same NM multiple times, I don't think trial weapons are for me haha. I came back because waiting around was supposed to be reduced!
I mainly wanted weapons for the leveling until 99 (I haven't done Abyssea so it will be a while before I get 99)
It's not even that. With later trials, you'll have to kill Voidwatch NMs multiple times and you'll need dozens of drop items from Abyssea megabosses. It's impossible to do a full Magian weapon solo.
I think I need to just suck it up and try to join some Abyssea groups.
I just tried to solo in there again and realize I have no idea how exp works in there...at least good exp.
