Apartments aren't available yet, are they? That's what the maintenance is for?

Maintenance is for patch 3.4, apartments are part of what's being added.

Hoping I can start the update early in the morning.

 

[Grisby]

I think you'll be fine. There are 90 apartments per building, 24 subdivisions. And three nations. That 6,480 per server. I don't think there will be much a problem in finding one. Though, if you and friends all want to get one, it might be nice to get one all in the same subdivision.

Cool, I guess I'll try and get one tomorrow morning.

Ah. I should really do a better job of staying in the loop. Appreciate the response.

They've got space to up the apartment capacity too, so it probably actually won't be a huge problem in the long run.

Where are most people buying their apartment on Ultros? The Mist? I can't decide, so i'll go where the people are. Lily Hills is my second pick because Marzipan is a Gridania Girl at heart.

 

[Sorian]

Ul'dah is the best, the other two city-states are for filthy peasants.

Spoiler

I'm not buying an apartment, housing is dumb

Stealth edit: Individual housing, group/guild/fc housing is good.

non instanced housing is dumb. I've seen past MMOs do away with that because there would be a monopoly in the real estate markets of those games. Nothing but a bunch of hardcore elitists ruining everything for us filthy little casuals.

apartments are for people with money. my own personal sealife centre dream is dead.

mhachi matter is paying for mine. i'm crossing my fingers that material prices explode after the patch.

 

[Caelestis]

Can you get an apartment if you already have a house? Or it's one or the other?

Yes, you can still buy an apartment if you have a house

Do apartments let you teleport to them? Buy Ul'dah apartment and then have access to Goblet and Mist teleports.

 

[GuitarGuruu]

Here's hoping that the patch goes up a bit early, gonna be cutting it close if I have to update and also want to play a bit.

They do, only reason I'm getting one is to have a port to each zone.

 

[Hero Prinny]

aw man, haven't played in like 2 weeks and the day when i want to finally sit down and just kill like an hour or 2 the game is down for maintenance .

 

[Wilsongt]

So what do I do while waiting for 3.4?

Download FFXI onto my new PC.

 

[Einhander]

Anyone playing on Jenova? I formed a Free Company with a friend some months back, and we have over 100 members. We've built up a pretty chill group. There is no elitism and no one feels left out. The Free Company is The Zodiacs. Let us know if you want to join if you're on that server.

I was in an awesome Party Finder party last night. We ran the majority of the Extreme primal fights, with the exception of Ravana EX, Bismarck EX, and Sephirot EX. Sephirot EX is fucking hard. But anyway, we kept running Leviathan EX and I got a pony drop!

I'm all caught up with the main story quest. Ready for the 3.4 patch, Soul Surrender. Although before I start the new content, I'd like to finish getting all the Midan gear from Alexander.

You find Seph ex harder than Thordan or Nidhogg? Hmmm

 

[Squishy3]

You find Seph ex harder than Thordan or Nidhogg? Hmmm

it's really hard for 4 people to make sure both towers are covered

outside of really a few parts of thordan and nidhogg i'd argue it's really hard for one person to cause a wipe while the orange debuff towers come up twice in sephirot. haven't done it since i already have the bird so I don't know if you can skip the second rotation yet with current gear levels. probably gonna be possible with the gear from this patch though

i'm curious to see what the % cutoff is gonna be for nidhogg's second form though

 

[Einhander]

You find Seph ex harder than Thordan or Nidhogg? Hmmm

I didn't say anything about one being harder than the other, so I'm not sure how you got that out of my post. I haven't attempted Nidhogg EX, but I'm sure it's challenging. I don't enjoy running Nidhogg Normal. Thordan EX isn't hard. Harder than normal, sure, but that's not saying much. We didn't run either of those fights either.

Well you mentioned Seph ex as being specifically hard, so yanno. That's why xD

I found Thordan ex to be rather difficult back in i200-i210 stuff. Suppose it's lots easier now. But even on a mechanical level.

 

[Wilsongt]

Seph EX can be hard when you don't have people paying attention to towers, colors, and earthshakers.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Nidex is one of the easiest extreme trials (considering the patch where they were relevant), to be honest

Sephirot felt harder than A5S IMO

 

[aceface]

Thordan ex is easy now with echo and gear. A group I was in this past week cleared it with 2 completely new people (and the rest of us having forgotten most of the mechanics) on the third pull. Especially with echo you can just cheese mechanics and not die.

 

[Squishy3]

even with tons of fuckups and deaths to things like dragoon jump + divebomb you're fine in thordan. there's so much time to kill him now

 

[Qvoth]

i remember there was an optimal path of spending the new tomes when it came on 3.3
anyone still has that? i'm assuming it's going to be the same for this patch

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

upgrade weapon first then body/legs i think then head/gloves/feet or something like that.

 

[Squishy3]

yeah but you'll need 7 alexandrian gears from normal creator or clear a10s for the micro tomestone, so 7 weeks minimum for the scripture weapon if not doing savage

so if not doing savage, clear creator normal once a week for the gear, cap out lore 4 weeks in a row and purchase body/legs (or whatever won't mess up your stats in a way that affects you negatively, like dragoon's getting too much skill speed) and then save up for the next 3 weeks for the weapon

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

upgrade weapon first then body/legs i think then head/gloves/feet or something like that.

If you don't care about crafted, then yeah, get the expensive parts out of the way first. They take the longest to get tokens for from normal as well, so spacing all those slots is the smartest way.

Go crafted if you can though. Some pieces will undoubtedly be trash, but if you don't care about secondaries then ignore all of this. That way, you have a third avenue which cuts down on how fast you can hear up considerably

 

[Stone Ocean]

The week 2 chest piece is basically the most important one since you won't upgrade it for the longest even if it isn't Bis and it gives the most stats.

 

[Qvoth]

upgrade weapon first then body/legs i think then head/gloves/feet or something like that.

i'm gonna assume this time the weapon will take 7 weeks of creator gear as well so it's not like we can get them asap

Yeah but I'm super awesome, so you have to take that into account, you know.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Yeah I forgot about the gears from the last level.

So body/legs then first.

 

[Thorgal]

Patch is up.

Still giving an error message right now though
