Yea, I have seen people fail AK, but that place is specifically for gearing up at 50 while one works towards Darklight. Anyone with AF should be able to clear it.

Grats! Btw...that DL gear looks a bit...unsightly.
Time for dat coil.
Guys, do yourselves a favor. Buy. This. Mouse.
I have the Razer Naga now [Molten Ver.] but when I replace it I'm definitely going with the G600. I'm getting the "double-click" problem with the Naga with the left/right mouse buttons being an issue. It's not horribly bad...yet, but I know it'll get there.
This is the second/third Razer mouse with this problem, and I'll definitely purchase no more from them.
Tempted to try it out... will I finally have something that moves me off the mx518?!

I hate it, so much. If not for relic items I would dump my money into AF2 and get that crap off my body.
I want to be the very best. ; ;
Already gots it!

Account creation is the worst I've ever seen in my goddamn life. I was finally able to purchase the game but now I can't log into the launcher.
Christ sakes. Is the one time password mandatory?

Ok. Fine. I won't be clicking any more. This better be god's greatest gift on earth though.
One time password is the security key token. If you dont have one, then nope.

Brayflox has some nice scenery.
It's an awesome mouse! I barely click on anything any more during battles. Everything I need I mapped to the programmable keys on the mouse.

Figured it out. That was a nightmare.
Is it easy to find yourself misclicking with them that close together?

At first yeah, but it took me an hour or two at most to get accustomed to the keys and the weight of the mouse. Overall, it's just pure quality and makes the game a better experience for me.
So I just did my first 3x turn in of HQ items for a trade leve (weaver). Entire process took me from like halfway into level 20 to 22 and was... one of the most monotonous things I ever did in an MMO, even moreso than EQ2 crafting. Can't see myself doing much crafting on this game.
There's another one in the Ceruleum Mines area that's lvl 40.
I seriously did remote PC crafting from my phone during my IT class today. The best.
And if you're not wild about it at first, consider this: HQ 55 gear is better than the Darklight pieces.
Opinions, I guess. I'm not a fan of the majority of crafting involving making the same things over and over (including their subcomponents) that are of no use to me or anyone else. AKA grinding, but it's not a new thing in MMOs, that's for sure. It's mostly making the subcomponents manually that sucks; can do them auto of course but for much reduced xp, and I don't have legacy server infinite gold or anything so I have to maximize experience gain per material.

Well, it's pretty close, as I recall. You can meld stuff to it too though.
I dig it mostly because at max level, I can just quick synthesis for random junk or I can manually do it for a pretty high chance of HQ items. I've made most of my spending cash that way personally. That's always been the most enjoyable thing about the XI/XIV style of crafting, the HQ products.
I like it, but it's another MMO I think were crafting is 2nd fiddle. I want another game where crafting is where the majority of equipment comes from.

Getting to 50 and finishing the story, one thing kind if disappointed me. I REALLY wish they had done the FFXI thing and allowed you to continue getting EXP into the level cap level. So much wasted exp if you hit 50 before those final missions, and it would be nice to just kill a mob someday when they increase cap and ding 51. You'll still have to get all the other exp to get to 55+ or whatever they increase it to.
They had that in 1.x and it didn't carry over. D:

anyone suggested to square where if i click a person's name in chat i can just add their name to the blacklist rather than copy pasting it. saves me the trouble.
When I called in I had to wait an hour and half maybe?
From what I've read around two or three hours or even four waiting is not uncommon.
You may luck in if you call first thing or just before they're suppose to be open. But yeah the wait times are atrocious.
What software you use?
It also affords opportunities to practice your stealth. Amon seems less than impressed, though. :[
Collecting tokens and repeating dungeons is a staple of any MMO nowadays, but Square could do a lot more to mask the grind. A grind really only becomes a grind when you lack options and are forced to repeat the same action/instance over and over.
They should at least implement the following as soon as possible:
1) Hard-mode level 50 versions of all lower-level dungeons, that reward tomes of philosophy. They should also drop gear that's comparable to Wanderer's Keep ilvl (possibly even scaling up the awesome-looking Infantry/Cavalry/Battlemage set from Brayflox). I heard mention that this is coming in 2.1, but they should try and release it earlier. Each dungeon could also drop dungeon-specific crafting mats to keep them relevant for years down the road (ie. diremite web in Toto-Rak)
2) Wanderer's Keep, and possibly Aurum Vale, should also drop tomes of mythology but at half or a third of the amount of AK.
3) CM and Praetorium should reward the most tomes of philosophy, possibly upwards of 150-200 per run...but only if one of your party members has never completed it before. This way you can't farm it for tomes, but it still gives incentive to help out new players complete the story chain.

Got my 2nd Quicktongue Materia 3. Only took a day or two but I might have gotten lucky. Bought Turquoise Rings off the AH (3-4k per) bought the +Spiritbond gain bracers and neck from the GC, and proceeded to run dungeons til I could convert the rings (~6? runs). It was kind of annoying but not a huge deal, my healing was more than enough for WP and AK even without a "real" neck/bracer piece on, and I saved a lot of money. I might try to get more for a discount to GAFers and to help save up for my house next patch.
That would certainly convince me to turn shouts back on.
I would like them to implement something similar to WoW where you get a bonus for your first dungeon run of the day.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Was surprised with how fast I went from lv 49 to 50. Was even faster than 48-49.

A Paladin is born. Fucking awesome.
Blizzard 3 makes Transpose useless. Adapting what some of you guys said this is my rotation:
Swiftcast (if avail) > Fire 3> Fire FIRE FIRE FIRE>Blizzard 3>Thunder 3>Fire 3>Repeat.
Have been doing better. Mowing down opponents. Just unlocked Freeze as well as a BLM but haven't found great uses for it yet. Except on Fates.

Mapping the zone gives 5% of level exp. If you happen to save most of them for 49, then it's a super easy level.

It quite possibly could change down the line. The thing they're lacking currently are recipes for higher tiers of gear and to make them not tied to tomes (the ingredients). The systems are in place for it though. Materia and HQ gear add up. Those need a few adjustments as well but it's mighty sexy.

I hate it.
But I'm almost positive I'm doing it wrong. I'm also not a max level crafter. Currently 30 LTW and 28 BSM.
How the hell do you level crafting at a decent rate? Turning in HQ stuff with leves would be the best option, but whenever I use a touch, I barely increase my quality. The only way it's worked for me is if I already have HQ items in stock when I craft, and then hope for good or excellent condition while I craft it.
Otherwise, a leve is only 6-10k, and I don't want to completely exhaust my allowences. Tell me your secrets, crafting masters.
and for dps it was just another regular day in ffxiv

Did you choose a reward?
Not sure exactly what quest that is, but if it has multiple rewards to choose from, you have to choose one first.
It's the Grand Company quest for promotion. There are no quest rewards to choose from.
Edit: Found the problem. A full inventory was the issue despite the fact I wasn't receiving any items.
