Well, for levels 1-50 it isn't too difficult to level crafting classes alongside your combat classes and craft your own HQ armor and weapons for cheap. That said, I would only suggest that if you enjoy the process of crafting.
Crafting works by leveling one of the eight crafting classes. They are full classes with a full range of levels, a large list of crafting skills, crafting equipment, and class quests. I find crafting to be pretty fun. Just making items is really easy, but making HQ items takes a mix of skill, good equipment, and luck. I suggest you just try starting a crafting class and see if it is your idea of fun. Even a low-level crafter can theoretically make some decent money on the marketbiard.

Since they are bringing in people like Matsuno to write/design stuff for the game, do you think they could get Yoko Taro to write/design for 5.0?
I would pay double for an expansion like that.

Would you pay triple for Nier event?

I switched to the phone app years ago now. I have a token from the 1.0 CE too. It wasn't worth using the hardware token forever knowing one day it would die. Squenix support is literally the worst on the planet and you would do well to avoid any avoidable contact with them.

The two times I've had to remove my security token from my account it went perfectly fine and took about five minutes. I did call right when they opened so maybe that's why

All of my money.

It's very involved and takes a long time unless you got $$$ and the gathering classes maxed.
Nothing, cross class system is getting changed.

Getting gear for monk wouldn't be a bad idea. They're going to share gear early on

I figure get some level 60 gear from the raids/tomes, then POTD from 50 to 60, slap the gear on and venture forth.
There will surely be the intermittent gear you can use for leveling (like the 115 rainbow set) added just so you don't need to touch raids or anything like that.
Depends on whether YoshiP has a huge fanboy boner for Yoko Taro I guess?
yeah, but if you're at that point already you can prep well before it's actually out

Got thru POTD 50 again at +39/35. Onto 100?

I did my first PoTD stuff yesterday, was pretty fun. I can only go till 10 though and got a sweet (...) ragged old shirt as a mystery prize.
Also won another 10K on the scratch cards and did some actual chocobo racing (I thought it would be betting). There is so much stuff in this game I had no idea about.

Got to floor 59 and my FFXIV froze. The audio cut out then it just stopped. ARRRGH. was going so well.
Did PotD yesterday 1-30 floor. The creepy lady is stalking me! It does give quite a bit of exp! One...annoying thing and maybe also an advantage is that while levelling in PotD, I gain abilities that I don't currently have on my actual character, it does take out some excitement out, especially when I'm levelling a new class. On the other hand, I could easily try different jobs quite quickly.
When I start leveling a new class the first thing I do nowadays is going to floor 51 of PotD solo to set up all shortcuts for level 60. Feels good to not have to bother about it again.

You get 2 retainers for free ingame, so you have 175x2 slots there.
Also, in the inn you have the armoire, where you can deposite almost all The items you cannot get again once you have them, like AFs, seasonal event items or achievement items.

So once you beat floor 50 you get access to start at floor 51. Probably a dumb question, but if you choose to start at floor 51 instead, do you start at level 60?
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
He would kill off every NPC, troll you with cheese side quests to have you ponder how meaningless the world is, force you to fight your loot and destroy it, then make you erase your character. Let's do this.

Oh wow, I don't know why I keep starting on floor 1 then every time lol. Thanks for the info!

When you log in to the Mog Station you should be able to find an emergency removal code, which you'll need to use when the token dies.
A shortcut in terms of getting ready for 50-60? There is more than 1 shortcut?
They mean setting up their hotkeys since entering floor 51 grants you lv60 with access to all your skills.
Ahh, I thought of mapping all my hotkeys myself actually.

How bad is the 260 anima quest? Hoping I can fly through it or do it in between collecting crystal sand and umbrite.
Holy crap this is the first I've heard of this. How do I get the 2nd retainer?
Stone Ocean

It's one of the easiest steps, but until you get there and unlock the quests for it you can only get the items through lore.

Just like you got your first one, haha. Talk to a retainer vocate in one of the three cities.

Ok
So I''ve been getting my pre stormblood ducks in a row, starting to get all the stuff I wanted to do at some point done. So i'm not bothered by it when it comes around.
I got a question, when you reach 2nd lieutenant, in a grand company, how do you get the people to do missions for you so you can do the missions to reach 1st lieutenant.

What's the best place to read about the cross class changes?
Also, level 33 - how do I access the casino thing?

I'm having so much fun getting all enemies on me cause tanks can't pull aggro off my blm. God, max anima is so OP. Yeah, I use QS too!

They haven't gone into much detail on the cross class changes yet. To get to the Gold Saucer there should be a quest near the main aetheryte in Ul'dah.
Just had mine died a few weeks back, bought it back in XI as well. I could tell it was about to die as i had to keep pressing the button very hard to get it to show a number.
As long as you have your profile info (bday address, physical token number (on back of token) ), you can contact SE customer service to have it removed. Be wary though, they aren't open on weekends, so you'll be SOL like i was until Monday. Once Monday rolled around, it literally took me 5 minutes to have it removed from my account.

Nah, that's pretty much it. You run Midas normal, every floor has a set of 3 items and each run drops 4 of them, collect those and trade them in for the specific gear.
