I thought it was fun
Sure, not the deepest of MMO experiences, but certainly worth the one time price you pay for admission.
Ah, thanks chap! I'm a little clearer now, and now that I've linked the PS3 version to my account I'm going to get into bed and grind the last 50k exp to level 30 on my archer.
Exactly what I wanted, thanks. How do I move UI elements around?
I have such a MP problem with the Aiatar fight on my WHM
If the tank and dps are not on their A game I am running out of MP and even if they are it's hell trying not to run out with all the cures and spam heals..
I am guessing SCH has a much easier time during this fight? It's not so much the burst healing that is needed but a lot of MP if the group keeps dragging him through the poison pools.
Or maybe I just suck
There is not that much different one can do than cure cure cure and cure II if freecure procs and Esuna in between to cleanse the poison..right?

It says on the wiki you can only use the Sentinel skill on GLD and PLD. Or is that just Affinity? blah I'm confused now. Also what exactly are you losing when you go MRD-WAR for solo? Its the same thing isn't it? Minus the extra things you get for Warrior.
No, my mistake, Sentinel is now PLD only. Was different in 14-1. Stuff like Provoke, Convalescence or Awareness is still nice to have as a WAR.
Going MAR instead of WAR gives you access to more cross-skills from other classes, which in turn makes you more viable for solo playing if you choose so. To be honest, when jobs where introduced I always stayed on those jobs and rarely used classes again.
But for instance, solo leveling as BLM will leave you in the dust very soon, while solo leveling as a THM is relaxing and rewarding.
Level 8 Arcanist trying to do "Lurkers in the Grotto" which is level 9. Is it impossible? Should I go grind more?
My problem so far is, I'm having trouble finding side missions that give out enough XP to be worth it. For instance, the one missions before this that required you dress from head to toe armor, the belt portion was only level 8. I was level 7, and it took me like 1 hour + of just grinding creatures before I got to level 8 - because none of the side missions around gave more than 50-100XP.

Ah okay
Yea. Hell I even played 1.0 for months, but like I said earlier I quit before jobs came along. So I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around how it all works.
Pictures like that are the reason I want to switch to Paladin (currently a SMN). In every game I make my character model as small as possible so naturally I have a tiny Lalafell.
There is something interesting about a tiny character decked out in a full suit of armor. My Tarutaru Dark Knight in FF XI was hilarious (and awesome).
I finally went down the list of emotes and checked them all out.
Too cute.

Hoping moms everywhere are starting to make their kids turn off the game so they can get some downtime before school starts for so many tomorrow. If you are one of those kids and reading this forum - do yourself a favor and rest, you need it to do a good job in school. Those of us who have jobs and are fully contributing members of society have earned our FFXIV respite ;P

If you're having issues keeping up with your experience find a mob around your level and start a kill chain. Killing 2 monsters within less than a minute of each other starts your chain, and it's a 90 second timer for multiplicative experience. Also start filling out your hunter's log, there's a few guides around the internet, you could use this one:

That is ridiculous. Nothing but nice people over on Exodus. My first time in a DF group for Halatali, I didn't realize you had to click on the blue fire pit to zone into the next area. I saw my party members way over on the other side of the map, so started heading that way, running through the dungeon like a chicken with it's head cut off. They politely told me what to do and were awesome about it. Out of 300+ in our FC we've only had to kick one Dbag because he wanted to argue about everything. Other than that it's been a great community so far.
Depends on what you are looking for. if it's ingredients, the Culinarian's guild vendor has most of the basics. If it's storyline related like OJ or the Lentil dish, I can't remember exactly where but ffxivdb should be able to tell you. I know I found the lentil dish in Ul'dah's outlying areas...maybe Camp Drybone's bar?
the 30 ACN quest will test your mettle, look forward to it!
I might have missed that, but are you completing the monster note? Or was that meant by "grinding monsters"? I heard completing the monster note entries gives nice rewards.

Yeah. I had someone like that in my party for Castrum thingimabob at the end of the story. Guy literally said shit like 'If you guys want to masturbate to your anime you can do that after the run. Skip the cutscenes. We're not here for the story.'.
Well, you might want to farm tomestones but it's my first time and three other guys first time too, we want to watch the cutscenes and carry on with the story. If you want to fly ahead without 1 tank and 1 healer then go ahead.

I still haven't actually gotten in game yet. Ive tried once a day or so since I got it at launch, was able to finally make my char on ultros after a few days, then was promptly stuffed in a queue, *aintnobodygottimeforthat.gif*. Over this weekend It "can't retrieve NA player lists", I was hoping to have something to tide me over till GTA5, but at this rate i'll be playing that before this game lol.
I feel like I do a lot of damage in dungeons and solo easy enough since they just load up the mobs with DOTs so their sustained damage seems high (and they are less inhibited by moving than BLM due to this), but SMN is pretty terrible for FATEs since they have very little burst to get enough damage on non-boss mobs before they die. I actually prefer to just stay ACN and use Aero/Emerald carby since that has some strong initial damage for those situations. Things might change after I get my 40 pet, we'll see.
If you think of EQ's Necromancer or WoW's Affliction Warlock playstyle wise you won't be too far off the mark.
:lol you guys got worse randoms than I did.
So I've been playing the PS3 version with a mouse and keyboard, there are UI issues and the map is terrible but once you actually get into a server its quite good. Lots of back and forth with the fetch/deliver quests but I'm enjoying the busy world.
How does one stop the monthly payments on ps3? I don't think I'll be playing beyond my initial 30 days.

You can buy it at Amazon. It might take a couple extra days, but the servers are a mess anyways. Hopefully it will be improved a bit by the time it arrives.

Dragoon can't wear most of the heavy armor stuff that is for PLD/WAR, which is mostly made by Armorer. You're probably better off going Leatherworker or Carpenter for Armor/Spears in the beginning.
I was looking for a character similar to Warlock so rad. Summoner it is! I can still go Scholar later by switching classes correct?

any way to get it to stop if I get in the queue?
for those people trying to get the autohotkey to work. remember that you need to save the notepad text as a .ahk file
- download autohotkey
- open new notepad
- copy paste this text
- save as ffxivspam.ahk
- right click the saved file and hit Run Script
- hit F1 at the FFXIV title screen
the icon will look like this if it's done correctly

It's literally a matter of switching one item to change from SMn, although you do have to do class quests for both.

Great. I'm stuck in the Bowel Of Embers and can't move forward. Not getting in to the instance because apparently no one needs a tank. And you can't bow out of the quest. Stupid bottle neck.
There is a soldier by the water you can talk to that will take you out of that area I believe.

I've been trying to get in since 9AM and haven't managed to do so once, this is absolutely ridiculous. ;_;
