there are tons of instances before this duty that require you to use cannons. some dungeons (i.e. prae) and even some quests iirc. so i don't see how anyone could never have used them

Estinien was an ass.

I think the opposite is true. Conjurers get an offensive stance and do solid damage. I'm going paladin, and getting conjurer to 15 was much smoother than gladiator to 26 so far.
I get instant dungeon queues on both, so that's a plus.

Joined a grand company. I'm level 24 and trying to get chocobo access. Need to grind out some seals.
Went to camp drybone to do company leves and Kikiri says "no company levels for you" and something to do with the adventurers guild not giving a seal of approval.
Any clues what I haven't done yet? I'm on the main quest Slyph-Management.
Cheers

It's been so long I don't remember but I just did the GC hunting log and FATEs to get the 2,000 seals needed for my chocobo.

Unfortunately, there are hundreds if not thousands of people who have hit or will hit 50 without ever flicking switches or figuring out even simple mechanics for themselves
I see more and more daily

Thanks I'll try and figure it out. Not even sure how to start the immortal flames hunting log?
It takes like 30mins doing fate to get your chocobo.
Just kill 3-6 enemies at a fate spot, fail it by going onto the next one or grind your hunt log and quests.
The only time you want to stay the whole 5mins doing a fate is when you don't have anything to do or when there is another gullible person helping out with the fate.
Should just be in your Hunting Log.

Thanks guys, think I figured it out.
Didn't do some level 10 crab leve near the beginning of the game. It seems to have been the official tutorial to unlock them.

haters gonna hate. i thought my fellow azure dragoon was awesome. a true bro
the dude was a massive jerkwad during the DRG questline and he's still an ass in Heavensward to the surprise of no one. Meh.
I understand that you may or may not be interested in the story, but for better or worse they are proud of it and want you to see it so they built the game around you doing it. It's why so much basic game functionality revolves around completing it, not just raiding but everything from chocobo mounts and retainers to airship riding. That and to be frank if you are only interested in endgame raiding and nothing else, there are much meatier games than this one (I played WoW for many years). Thankfully there are plenty of other activities (that again, may or may not interest you). I recently took up fishing again. Holy crap at needing GP.
Thankfully, if one of your friends is a tank or healer queuing with them makes it way faster, and of course they can pt up with you for most DFs.
As for class learning...as many on here may mention how ez mode something may be, all they need to do is go into a random pug to tell you that is not the case for a lot of people with a lot of the content. Things like statics and GAF help night exist for a reason, and it's only been a few weeks. Making the exp to 60 even faster would mean even less people know what they are doing than now. (Also, tbh, although it is VERY much a grind, it is still a themepark style grind, so it's pretty forgiving really). The devs can't assume you do or don't know what you are doing, it tends to end up worse than now otherwise.
I won't pretend the system is perfect, don't get me wrong, but after leveling through WotLK and being subjected to the Death Knight plague of that time (although I think FFXIV has a better general playerbase) I simply don't want to see that again. Maybe in a few expansions when the grind feels worse than now they will allow more skipping, or homogenize the 2.0 padding (titan fetch quests) or something.
Don't know about the DRG quests, but how is he an ass in HW?
He obviously has a hardon for killing dragons but they killed his family so understandable. Yet he still goes along with Ysale's happy go lucky doomed to failure "let's all be friends" quest. I respect him for if nothing else calling out Ysale and Alphinaud on their quest's dumbness. Then after that he's like "ok we tried it your way IT'S DRAGON KILLING TIME." And then he spends the whole rest of the game drenched in dragon blood showing up whenever you need help. Yeah he derped at the end but we'll save him cause he's a true bro

Problem is that Estinien was created in the DRG quest specifically to be an antagonist. So of course he was an ass, just like Widdargelt in the MNK line, Karasu in the NIN line, so on and so forth.
In the HW story when they decided to make him a central focus (because how the heck do you do a story about dragons in Ishgard without the Azure Dragoon), I think they did a very good job of making him way more grounded. And at least he's never an ass to your character, he's always trolling Ysayle (who needed to be trolled because she was being dumb about things like fighting dragons even in self defense) and Alphinaud (for comic value). He even reflects on how
he treats dragons when you all find out that they once were buddies, and wants to stop the war to prevent future situations like his.

So any FFXI players here make the transition to XIV?
I played XI for about 7yrs with multiple jobs at cap and it probably will go down as my favorite game of all time. I did the beta for XIV and it felt nothing like XI....so naturally i decided to skip it.
Fast forward to today and i saw XIV for $20 and decided to take the scary plunge of potentially getting back into a consuming FF MMO. It "Looks" like an upgraded XI on the surface but i know gameplay is very different.
Is there any hope for an old XI veteran.....will i be able to adjust enough to give this game a fair chance? lol thx

Real talk, if your hardcore FFXI vet and you enjoyed it's gameplay this game isn't for you as it's nothing like ffxi. You will enjoy it for a couple of months and quit due to gear being meaningless and lacking in variety. Very small amount of content you have to spam for little reward.

Anyone used draconian potions yet? Looking forward to doing some testing with them soon.
I don't agree with that. Yes, that's the issue with FFXIV but FFXIV also does a lot of things right so you can enjoy part of the game while being disappointed with the other. I'm hoping they add more horizontal content though to get out of the rut described above.

She summoned a primal using her body as a catalyst/host. She's not Shiva herself. Also, primal summoning doesn't produce the original being, just a manifestation modified by the thoughts of those responsible for the summoning.
That's why King Thordan was 3 times your height instead of a normal height Elezen. The exaggerated beliefs in his legends resulted in the large form you see in Singularity Reactor. King Thordan himself is long dead.

yeah I know. when I said "primals never die" it was tounge in cheek in the sense that they always seem to come back, get resummoned etc. I still don't think she's dead, if she were the game would have made a bigger deal of it. Maybe a dragon caught her or something. Just my feeling.

Apply to the guildworks site: http://neogaf.guildwork.com/
and when you find a GAF player (with the <GAF> tag) right click > view company info (or something) > apply and just say you're from gaf and your username. Then eventually somone will go through the apps and accept you.

So if I understand this Armory Bonus thing:
Anytime I play a job that is lower than my highest level job I get a bonus from killing mobs and doing FATE. Correct?

Lol whut
I played XI for 7 years and I love XIV, obviously for different reasons. If you're the kind of "XI vet" who was obsessed with equipping specific pieces of gear in each macro for every action and camping HNMs/ZNMs for hours, or only partying with specific jobs, then maybe you'll be dissatisfied with the "lack of content"

Unless one can reconstruct her body and soul from the blue aether she shattered into, I think Ysayle as we knew her is gone for good unless Hydaelyn straight up resurrects her because she was one of the Chosen like the WoL.

Whenever's there's a queue I just immediately cancel then try to enter again and there's never a queue the second time around.
