Good man. I should really be doing that instead of grinding for an Axe of the Luminary. Only 8000 more chops to go.

bad gameplay lol
I just noticed I got the trophy for logging 1,000 trees last night. There's no fucking way that's not bugged, considering I hadn't even started BTN before last night. :lol There's just no way in hell I logged 1,000 trees in a single sitting.

Is there a trial for this MMO? I really want to try it. If not, where is the cheapest place to get it?

The DPS way of life. I have been trying to get my full foestriker set for 2 days straight. It has been hell.
20 minutes? I've waited over 90 minutes many times.
Wow, so I got off easy then? I am loving the game, but I can't say I am looking forward to using the duty finder. I can see myself getting burnt out quick with wait times like that.
Its relative to what class you play. If you're a tank, 20 minutes is pretty crazy. Ive waited huge amounts of time mainly because I play as a dps.
The point of duty finder is to do something else while you wait. As dps class I've waited up to 90 minutes before. Typical wait is 20-30 minutes. Healers and tanks are instant to 5 minutes.
Oh, I did. I ran around doing Fates and some other quests I had lined up. I guess it just started to grate on me knowing I was waiting to start something else. All part of getting acclimated to it, I guess.
Tanks and healers are almost always in demand in dungeons.
Yeah I was going to make a second class today, and was thinking Pugilist. But then I read that there are too many DPS and they need Tanks Healers. I have a level 17 Arcanist. So I guess I'll go Gladiator and Tank on my second character.

I made about 500k on Earth Crystals but that market is fucked now. :c I guess I'll have to find something else to put my time into as far as farming goes.
I'm Riou Midgard on Ultros. I got to level 10 last night.

What problems you have? Can't keep hate?
Tanking in PLD is relatively easy. Pull with Shield Lob -> Flash a couple of times (or just one) -> Start your Halone combo -> when you finish it use Flash again.
Depend on the party and their DPS you might need to use Flash even before finishing your first combo. If you party starts doing AoE dmg, just spam Flash more. At lvl 50 you get your only AoE damage attack (Circle of Scorn) that will help you to tank multiple enemies.
Another reasonable thing to do is start spreading your combos between the enemy group. Watch the enmity bars in the party list and act accordignly: for example in one enemy you might have a lot of advantage in hate, so tab target and use your next attack on another it might need more hate.
In regards of mitigation skills is a good idea use at least rampart when pulling multiple enemies and try not to use many of them unless you totally need so. Becaue you might need them later and they will be on CD.
WAR is (until patch 2.1) quite different and might require a different approach (for example Overpower over Flash) but the basics of tanking it are the same.

As a Pally, it always worked for me to start my combo as Shield Lob - Fast Blade - Circle of Scorn - Savage Blade - Spirits Within - Flash - Rage of Harlone.
For only two enemies, I don't even bother to flash. Just start the Rage of Harlone combo and Savage Blade on whatever enemy isn't being focused.
For three enemies or more, flash at the start and do the same. Save your Rage of Harlone for the main enemy, but spread your Fast Blade and Savage Blade for other targets. Flash after combos too if you're not low on MP and won't pull more mobs.

One thing I've found that helps (at least I think it does) is turning on all the language tabs on the duty finder screen instead of just English. I had been waiting forever to find an

I was with my friend in the story
area last night. There was another person there. He approached my friend (tank) and asked him to join their group and even mentioned there was no place for me. We have the same last name which he obviously noticed when he mentioned me. But he right in front of me tried to poach my friend. Never said a word to me.
Why would you do that? It's so rude. What a jerkface jerk.
I hope he failed all night.

I use Open Broadcaster Software. Set the game as a Window Capture and it's a pretty minimal performance drop, assuming OBS is properly set for your connection and PC speed.

This is my 1 hour rotation, adjust to it however you like
Somethings are still worth it, but it cost me roughly 1,200 gil with teleportation phase
You should set your 3 favorite destination to Costa del Sol for Limsa, East Shroud for Gridania, and Mor Dohna as the last for the clusters
You use Eastern Thanalan for Ul'dah as your Return point
Now just port everywhere
With 573 you can easily hit 3 different node, no need for cordials, will have to wait for a node or two
With this you can easily have a stockpile of each item within a week, you will be putting stuff on your retainer cause you won't have enough selling slots, trust me on this

Just bought this on the US PSN store ($10 for PS+!). Tries to run it on my main (UK) account and I get the following message: "Cannot launch FINAL FANTASY XIV. Please register the promotion code included with your package or download. A re-install will not be necessary."
Can't get any further than that. But then I tried it on the account I bought it on, and it seemed to load fine, and wanted me to set up an SE account, and link it to my PSN ID. Obviously I'd prefer to link it to my main PSN account, is this not possible? Not sure if anyone will be in the same boat as me, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
Shield Lob not really necessary, you use it to pull mob that might go too far away on it patrol, so better to bring it to you rather than waiting for it or if you need a small buffer gap between you while you pull (like a boss)
For a group run in, Circle > Flash > Fast Blade on Target 1 (tag it for others) > Flash > Spirits on Target #2 > Flash > Savage on target # 3 > Rage on Target #1 > Circle > Flash
This way all stay stacked on you, by the time you done that rotation one should be dieing/dead, then you slow down the rotation, remove half the steps (mostly the Flash R' Us, just one or two if necessary), repeat
You cant use US version on EU account, it wont let you
US version only for US accounts, same goes for EU for EU account
You have to play FFXIV on US account

Godspeed!
Thanks. I got it all set up and it worked well.
Geez, what server? I play a BLM and I've never waited more than 45 minutes (which still isn't great but I'm used to MMOs so its really nothing).
Edit: You posted like half a day ago....... whoops!
In other new, I will hit or be very close to hitting 50 tonight
I've got my Snow coat now and feelin lucky.
But in all seriousness, 5 more levels and i'll be able to help out with all the major things...or at least have my foot in the door.

That's how it is in every MMO that uses the Trinity ever.
Except this one, because goddamned everybody is a white mage.

Phoenix. I didnt think server mattered because Duty Finder was cross-server?
It's that sexy classic White Mage Artifact equipment that draws them in. IMO White Mage looks the best and most iconic of the FF series.
I'll be damned. Learn something new every day.

It's really getting worse to do low level storyline dungeon runs, the amount of new players jumping into the game has obviously slowed down considerably and most vets who are doing new classes know not to waste time doing dungeons and will go straight to Fate grinds.
Tying the storyline into having to complete the dungeons was a stupid decision, as over time it's going to get harder and harder for new players to get into the game, and they will find themselves stuck, and frustrated.
Can you blame them? Healing is fun in this game. ;P
Luckily, there are solutions to this. I think the easiest solution however would be to make the bonus reward for helping new players scale by level. So that higher level players get appropriate level experience, or even Allagan Tomestones for level capped players.

Ironically once I hit Stone Vigil, I started to find healing stressful. Then I hit endgame with the 8 man parties and I started to get cold sweats and get super stressed out. I always feel sorry for playing WHM and just hoping I don't let the party down lol
How was FFXI in this regard, because dungeons (not instanced, but still) and parties were integral to progressing the various storylines. I've always had a LS or group of sorts, so not sure if it was that big of a problem then.
They are doing something like this in 2.1. You get tomes for entering a low level dungeon duty finder roulette.
Indeed, you're right. I just remembered that. So the problem will basically solve itself over time as long as the tomes don't become irrelevant.
