Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail |OT|

Thinking about diving back into this today. I've been playing since the PS3 beta, this is a top 5 game of all time for me. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and I've not played since.... January-ish, maybe late December. It's time.
 
I hadn't realized that the new vacuum suit mount could be bought on the market board. I found one for 900k and bought it. Someone told me they were going for 3 mil back when the patch first dropped lol.
 
Yeah the first few days to week of a patch, prices are just overinflated from all the submarine gil in the economy.
10/11 on cosmo relics now, just FSH left and I hear it's fast.
While still tedious, getting the 500k everything mount will be far faster\easier than Diadem was.

Considering there's like 3 more cosmic locations coming, I feel like I'll hit 500k and get the mount naturally by the end of it. I'm just gonna finish up the relics and then go all-in on Clair Obscur before Occult Crescent drops in a few weeks

10/11 cosmic tools done. Only fisher left but the A rank missions are mostly RNG and just feel fucking awful. It's best to just grind the Fisher IV data through Red Alerts IMO. Just need one more Red Alert and I'm free to play Clair Obscur... so close...

Edit: and done. See y'all in Occult Crescent in 3 weeks

Also 11\11 as of last night. So the timed & weather missions give around 800 to 1200 points each and aren't much harder than the rest. I'm cycling through them and doing FSH\BOT\MIN red alerts. Nearly have everything hovering around 70k give or take now. This is going to be WAY simpler than Diadem was.

I finally got tired of being FLASHBANGed every time I open the game.
I switched my title screen from Dawntrail to Heavensward.

Slowly but surely... I'll maybe hit 150k with all before Occult Crescent drops. Just like Diadem, the gathering ones are going to be abysmal to grind.

Japanese player already has the mount ... a lot of folks are screaming botter since he has 24k extra on the one job... but it could be from repeatedly forgetting to change back to gatherer for the dual class jobs maybe. Pretty nuts either way.

ooo I didn't realize there was a special black one
I assume you can't sell these on the market board like the other one?
 
Nah it's unlocked via achievement for getting 500k with every gatherer & crafter in Cosmic Exploration similar to the Pterondon mount from Foundation\Diadem.
 
I was going to let my FF14 sub run out and take a break, probably until 7.3
BUT then I was standing in solution nine talking to my retainer and someone was standing nearby wearing a full set of historia gear. I love the way it looks and I have a few of the pieces but I've just been glaming over it without paying attention.
I may resub immediately to continue getting historia pieces every week, plus 7.25 is getting close anyway. Hmm...

Yeah Occult Crescent in 2 weeks. Of course once THAT drops, that is prob all there is to grind until 7.3 (guessing like 3rd week of Sept)
 
I generally avoid using Steam for MMOs unless it's required (New World, Lost Ark, etc.) because I hate seeing how much time I've put into MMOs :messenger_grinning_sweat:

So yeah, standalone

I realized that you can buy the Dias of Darkness on the marketboard today.
I thought it would be like 5 mil, maybe 10-15 mil.
I go check the prices and it's like 50 mil
oof
 
Even from the story point of view, I still think that FF11 is far better than FF14. Chains of Promathia alone is maximum kino, and one of the best stories in the franchise. Treasures of Aht Urghan is also dope as well.

I really loved Wings of the Goddess from a story standpoint as well.

But the gameplay... not so much, since the zones were basically just remixed versions of existing zones, which is something I hope XIV never does. When people were speculating that Endwalker would be a time travel expansion I was extremely worried that they would make that mistake, but they managed to avoid it.

I was looking through my old achievements and realized that I started playing during Heavensward. What about y'all?

Character Creation Date

Is there anyway to a check character's creation date? Was wanting to transfer to a different server, but apparently my character is less than 90 days old. I tried contacting support and only got an automated response that did not even seem to relate to my question: How or where do I check this...
forum.square-enix.com forum.square-enix.com
"You could check your character page on the lodestone for the very first "Mapping the Realm" achievement you got, I think for the first few zones just entering the zone is enough to trigger the achievement so that might give you an estimate."
 
Managed to 100% Clair Obscur just in time for Occult Crescent. Feelsgoodman

If you are in this thread reading this post: I highly, highly, highly recommend playing Expedition 33. It's the best Final Fantasy since FFX... and that's coming from someone who is rather fond of both XII and XV. E33 simply represents everything I wanted out of a singleplayer Final Fantasy game for the past decade+... it's that damn good.

Made my character on day 1 of ARR beta

Is your character a DRG named Celcius? Saw someone in a hunt train a few days ago with that name

That was me lol
 
Played in the closed alpha of 1.0 but my PC at that time ran the game terribly. I gave it another try when 1.23 released and got my last job to 50 the day the servers went down for a year. Played 2.0 and up at release.

Wanted to get the black mech mount before OC released, but I still need 400k points on FSH to finish it off. I'll prob get back to that after burning through the new battle stuff.
 
Been having fun in Occult Crescent. Feels like a mix of Eureka and Bozja, but the relic atma drop rate has been absymal for me. I'm at Knowledge Level 14 and only have 5 atma so far. Feels like a classic case of the devs overcorrecting: People didn't want relics to be 1000 tomestones? Oh that means they want to grind days/weeks for a single weapon like back in ARR days, obviously! But whatever, I'm having fun playing around with the phantom jobs.
Edit: I've been informed that the atmas are a one-time step and then it's tomes. I guess that's a decent middle ground between both relic methods.

Finished up the storyline for now, just have to get prepped for Forked Tower. Hoping to do my first run over the weekend when I've hopefully got my phantom jobs in order.

Also, I highly recommend saving up 3000 silver (the CE/FATE currency) and buying the Riding Map first so you can traverse the map faster.
