i got a friend who preordered, he has the cait sith minion and the coeurl mount
he says he can't ride the mount? something about unauthorized

do you need to finish the level 20 quest 1st before being able to ride any mounts?
Yeah. He will eventually get to the main scenario quest to join a Grand Company.
 
I think the bigger problem is that I didn't do a lot of low level side quests on purpose to have them available for my additional classes but it's freaking hell to figure out which quests are for which level and to remember where they are. They really need to switch the journal according to your current active class and level imo.

Yeah I just did them all on my first job because I didn't want to leave some of those opened and unorganized, I think it's better for me that way because I keep running into gaps during the 40s, plus they gear me up for the missions.

I know it would be nice to have a few quests to do on my second job but I get bonus exp from alts anyway for fates which I didn't on my first job, it would've been a lot more boring for me to grind fate on my main.
 
I said this in the FC chat but gotta repeat it...

DAT TITAN THEME MUSIC! DAMN!

Some Black Mages/Uematsu stuff I am sure, right?

Titan music is great! Garuda dulled it for me though. It might be hard to imagine, but it is even more intense and memorable.

Damage over Time and Heal over Time ticks also use server side timers which is weird. So everyone share tick timers. When a Thaumaturge shifts into ice casting for the mana regen ticks it could be applied instantly or 2 seconds later depending on the server side timers. A SMN's dot could do less total damage depending on the time he cast the spell. Gotta get lucky until a global server side tick timer addon is made.

Yea, it's funny since when I heard the parser wasn't working properly for SMN I automatically assumed it wasn't tracking pets since most early ones have that problem. So much of SMN damage is DOTs too...if they have a real DPS problem that's something to get fixed, but I want actual data rather than hearsay so any potential problems can be properly analyzed.

At any rate, it's definitely a more complete job than if they tried to follow XI's lead, that much is sure. More synergy with the Egis would be nice but they got the right idea with this SMN.

Oh most definitely. I think my critiques are really minor complaints all things considered, especially since SMN is likely the job with the least amount of dev time (along with SCH). It's a really solid job.
 
It's really hard to make decent money from 30 to 36 as a botanist. Flax and oak logs are the only things that sell and they are completely oversaturated.

Btw am guessing the higher level botanist is what collects white coral? Am still going out of my mind trying to find HQ pieces of the stuff.

Botanist isnt high enough currently if it is the right job to find it.
 
Can my brother who is on Lvl 22 do a duty finder mission with me when I'm only Lvl 15? I thought I read something about lowering stats or lowering your level temporarily. Sorry for all the dumb questions this is my first MMO lol.

Yes, he can. You can level sync from any level. It's pretty easy to do and feels natural. He'll still get EXP, too.
 
Can't you activate quests in the side bar? Just look up the ones for your level and activate it, I'm probably mixing up ffxiv with other mmos but for some reason I remember quests being marked by levels. I'm probably mistaken though, and yeah that needs to be fixed if it's not in.

Afaik, no. That is exactly the problem. I can't choose which to track (unless I missed something). However, with the switching mechanic it should, quite frankly, just be automatic. I also might end up turning in a lowbie quest on the wrong setup :/ Been there done that without noticing until it was too late.

Also, make it so I can compare my gear while having to choose a quest reward..seriously -.-
 
Got disconnected twice in 30 minutes. First time this happens, my connection is fine it seems.

Anyways, got my swimsuit so it's not all bad.
 
How do you guys have the UI set up I'm trying to find a good way to set it up and to see a lot of the screen.

this is pretty much how I got mine at the moment.

Where may I get a bikini? Been looking forever ;_;

I know in Ul'dah the vendor is where the dancing catgirls are, you'll see the balloons.
 
Where may I get a bikini? Been looking forever ;_;

There's a vendor in each town, You need Wet Bomb Ash to get in though. There's a mid level FATE in Costa de Sol on the beach that rewards it. There's also lowbie ones but I don't remember where I saw it.

It might be cheap too on the market if you check.
 
Man, the bullshit one has to go through at times to unlock story fights and dungeons. After
that stupid banquet one for Titan
, this one for
Garuda and the wrong crystals
. Why can't I smack these NPCs?
 
Quick question, can I take on a number of professions at the same time? I want to play around with them before fixing on one.

Thanks
 
Greetings,

The development team is aware that there are times when you cannot participate in content so easily and without worry, and I’d like to let you know future countermeasures we have planned to address this.
Significantly reduce repair fees and the cost of dark matter
While the focus will be placed on high-levels, we will be significantly lowering the overall fees for repair and the cost of dark matter.

Addition of item level requirements for high-level dungeon participation
We'll be adding a requirement to participate in high-level dungeons and hard mode primal battles that will make it so you need to have equipment above a certain item level equipped to participate. To coincide with this, we will be implementing a system that will display the average item level for your gear in the character window.

Addition of a party recruitment window
We'll be implementing a bulletin board type of system where you can recruit party members that are only on your world. When recruiting, you can indicate the dungeon you would like to do, the roles you are looking to recruit, the levels, etc. (We'll be announcing the details soon.)

We will be addressing #1 after the maintenance tomorrow, and #2 and #3 will be implemented after patch 2.1.

you guys seen this?
reduced repair fees sounds great!

Yes you can. Just have the main hand equipment for whatever class / crafting job you want to do and presto changeo~

Lets see a fix for the idiots of the markets who are fucking the prices of everything making earning money beyond a chore. Unless you are some sort of gold farmer and dont mind mining for crystals all day long for a tiny profit.
 
Weird, the exact same error happened to me just now while I was in the manor as well.

The timing was great. I'd just ran into the very last room before the boss, lobbed tomahawk to kick off the fight, then boink, black screen and 90k. At least the server saw fit to disconnect me before it registered any of my actions. ><

Anyway, WAR and WHM hit 32 tonight. Brayflox tomorrow :D

Good luck! Dear god I hated that place as beautiful as it was. D: Mainly the boss. Pray to god that you have a smart tank or do the tanking yourself. Trust me, will save you a lot of stress that way for that boss fight.
 
Where in the world do you get Ice Shards?
I had a 100 of everything but 0 Ice, even had 45 Ice crystals.

Go to infront of Aleport in La Noscea - Western La Noscea


I was there for bloody 4 hours last night digging the damned things up. The crystals are spread out through the world according to the main towns trade skill guilds. So basically you wont find a crystal shard type that isnt used in your tradeskill guild in said continent. *Edit unless there are elemental types that can potentially drop them. But its not exactly the most efficient way to go about obtaining shards.

*Editing map for visual ref.
 
I haven't played for a little more than a week, but I got an e-mail just now saying that my account has been suspended for what seems to be gold selling or power levelling.

:/

I changed my password and stuff, but I'm kinda confused. I keep my computer pretty secure and MBAM and MSE both haven't found anything. Has this happened to many?

Is your account actually suspended as you have tried to log in and it was a no go?

Since if its you just reading emails, there are a lot of phishing emails that spoof SQEX emails. They even appear for Japanese emails so its not just something that effects the western players.

Unless you cant access your email account, generally what I do is delete those types of emails. Also as a precaution email sqex support and ask them directly too in regards to your account status / any suspicious activity has taken place or not.

No, it was legit. When I sign in to the Square site, it says the service is suspended, and I cannot log in past the game launcher.

Even if you are careful, I would get an authenticator. It's free for the smartphone app and $10 otherwise. There's no reason not to have it and your toon is probably one of many on your server converted to a gold spam bot at this point if it was hacked. It sucks and i do not like how often people infer that only gold buyers get hacked or whatever, but everyone should have one. I see too many people without one that lose their account.

Really? I have been looking around for it but nothing yet.

edit: Thanks, Parakeetman.

edit 2: Hmm, looks like a number of people are having problems with the app resetting and locking them out of their accounts. Not sure if I want it...

D: That cant be good... perhaps I shall see if I can get my hands on a physical one then. Only problem with that is I wonder what happens when the thing dies? Good you found that bit of info
 
Jesus.

Sorry cant really give any suggestions / help besides am sure what you have already done and sent in a report. D:

http://support.na.square-enix.com/

Yeah, sent in a ticket, thanks anyways though!

Good idea. Just added this to my account.

Huh. Well, that sucks. But I'd rather it be accidentally locked out than accessed by a third party, and I don't want to spend any more money.

Unless SE uses the cheapest of the cheapest parts or you get a defective one, these types of devices should last at least a decade or two.
 
I mean, would the 50% boost apply if you've got a DoH class that's at level 50? Then you try and level up another DoH class.

It doesnt seem like it since I got other higher DoH classes one being 41 currently, doesnt seem like there is much of a boost to the lower ones.

Then again most of the time Im using those GC exp boosts + the tiny bit from food & rest exp.

Question not exactly but sort of related to the game as its what im doing while playing.

Do you guys have any good suggestions for youtube rippers? Reason being is I listen to music from YT while crafting for hours. (literally) D: and wanted to save the stuff to the PC so didnt have to open up YT every time.
 
No word yet, but SE is offering them in EU. Weird how they don't have them for sale here in NA yet. I've checked Best Buy and other stores... nothing.

Maybe they think everyone has the free 30 days and they're not worrying about them yet. I'll stop playing before I give them my card, I hope they get these time cards out soon.
 
This has gotten pretty out of hand. Just login earlier to chat with a friend, but couldn't read jack shit, except for a wave of gil farm ad clogging up my chat box.


What the Fuck.
