Pulled myself away from the Switch to push through more of the game today.

- Did Daily Dungeon Roulette and finally did Qarn (awesome dungeon!) to level through requirements.
- Finished off the trollastic Corrupted Crystal bullshit.
- Beat Garuda (OMG THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!! Primal BGM keeps getting better!)

OMFG THE CUTSCENES AFTER THAT!

Spoiler

Ultima Weapon in FFXIV is METAL GEAR?! LOOOOOOOOOL!

- Did a bunch of post-Garuda quests. The story is getting better and better now. Sooooo fun.
- Did the lvl45 Dragoon job quest. Really awesome stuff. Feels like everything is paying off. The lore is so awesome!
- The best part was when I was headed to Steel Vigil for the quest objective, I ran into a couple of other players doing a FATE and I decided to sync to join them. Never saw this before but it was a 3-part FATE or something filled with dozens and dozens of dragons. Felt fucking epic. NPCs, players, player chocobos. Was like a real war. And it kept getting more epic until a giant dragon spawns with a bunch of adds. This game is AMAZING.

Thanks to how hilariously incomplete the lvl45 quest is at giving me a full set of job armor... this is what I look like now:

LMAO!

Sunday casual wear for Dragoons

 

[Bowlie]

Did A8 for the first time.

That boss is everything I didn't know I wanted, including the kids yelling "transfooorm!". The fight was chaotic, and the boss design was soo worth it c:

The Illuminati storyline is now getting a little hard to understand...

Aranea's head was well-protected so I'm not seeing the problem here.

Heya
Are there any level 60 WHM controller-users in here that would care to share their hotbar(s) setup? Images or otherwise? Planning to sort of revisit the job and am kinda stuck..!! any help with it would be appreciated!!

Here's my setup, hope it helps.

Crossbar 1 Left Side:

Crossbar 1 Right Side:

Crossbar 2, solely used for situational stuff:

Crossbar 3 Left Side, used as the extended L2+R2 bar:

[BlueBadger]

Ah! Thank you so much, man! That helps tons.

I had a decent hotbar setup, but that was prior to when they increased the level cap to 60. I had no idea how to fit all the new job skills into my current setup X_X LOL

 

[dramatis]

Alright, thanks. Do you know which mats I should buy with them? The wiki page of the item does not say.

Lore mats are meant for the marketboard, ideally you buy what is selling well on the MB.

 

[Sandfox]

I'm finally jumping back into the game. Now to grind up some gear and additional jobs.

sometimes you can find crafters buying lore mats on PF. i made a few mils selling like that.

[Apoptomon]

Got Monk to level 50 yesterday in my quest to find a melee dps that 'clicks'. Right now it has an edge over Dragoon. I think I have the basic rythm of the class down, but then I go and mess up my positionals, lol (ie. move, and then realise i was supposed to stay on that side).

What are good cross-classes? (I know they're changing this soon) I have invig, B4B and bloodbath atm.

(i guess now I get to save up some SAM gear)

I wouldn't be so sure about that, Aranaea at least doesn't have a big stomach circle target cut out.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

The circle is there for a reason. By having a point where it's an obvious weak spot, your enemies will direct their attacks toward that point. Since you know this, it will be easy for you to dodge or parry their attacks and counterattack and kill them.

MNK is really fun, it's less about having tons of buttons to press, and more about being able to do everything on the fly while keeping your most important buffs/DOTs up on bosses.

I'm not even sure what to say anymore x_x
Logically this is sound.

 

[GloriousBagel]

You should have no issues on medium with this setup.

Thanks for answering

Starting areas don't really matter, you'll visit the rest with Main Scenario eventually.
Make sure to do your class quests to unlock important skills.
Ignore non-vital sidequests, Main Story, Dungeons & Job Quests should be your priority unless you're unlocking stuff that's useful & helpful. Palace of the dead for example Also this is REALLY good for starting classes if you're wanting to practice your class and get a good feel for it.
Your settings should be fine for Medium/High.
Also Guilds (Free Company) might randomly invite you to theirs as you progress through the game. If you're not up for joining until later then just decline.
Most Free Companies & Players use Discord but I do know a few that use Teamspeak too.

Hope this information helps.

This is really helpful info, I'm saving this post, thanks man!

I really hope the next relic has some effort put into it, this tome grind is just lazy, what a miserable bore.

Stormblood relic has an entire zone dedicated to it so I'd say that should be a significant improvement over what we have now

Same, I know some people disagree but I like how he's developed as a character over the story, and he has a few great moments in heavensward.

I'll probably do a few PotD runs tomorrow. I need to get my gear stats up before I try to clear 91-100. The floor 100 boss looks rough.

Not really. He's still lame to me.

But the ranged are doing everything to prevent me from stabbing the boss in the back for massive damage!

No problem, if you need anymore help feel free to ask.

You're so close to the big 6k though.

That I am but I've been playing non-stop for almost 2 years.

Maybe, I think I should hit 7k by around Patch 4.1 (oct / nov time) if no breaks are taken by then which is doubtful.
