Power leveling is so broken now.
I just took my friend from 24->28 (~70k exp) in 45minutes.
I was on 50 ARC, he was on 24 LNC and we just killed antelopes (gather them up and wide volley.) He was getting up to chain 10. You can even be in the same party...

Lv 30 Ifirit battle (easy prey)
Beastmen Stronghold (Impossible to Gauge!)
I smell an adjustment. I took some people who were in their 30s to the strongholds and they were getting 700+ xp chains. You don't' even have to be in the same party to get the benefits. Multiple parties attacking the same mob will yield you amazing XP. Everyone was 100 percent spirtbonded by the end of the night lol.

That's weird, my laptop (which has a lowly Mobility Radeon 4650) can play this game with no issue as long as I adjust the graphic settings to middle of the road. My settings on mine are:
Display Mode: Full Screen (I hate Windowed mode, and it runs better on my low end laptop)
Window Size: 1600x900
Multisampling: No AA
General Drawing Quality: 6
Background Drawing Quality: 3
Shadow Detail: Standard
Texture Quality: High
Texture Filtering: Standard
I turn off Ambient Occlusion (which slows down most rigs from what I understand because it was implimented poorly), AA, Depth of Field and get consistent 30 FPS, which is fine for what the laptop can do (though oddly enough, it plays Fallout: New Vegas with mods, enhanced resolution textures and full settings).
On topic of the game, absolutely loving the changes. MRD actually feels like a proper multi-target tank now, because they actually deal damage, and can pull multiple mobs without fear since they can now actually withstand their attacks without having to pray there's a Conjurer standing behind them spamming Cure spells. XD I'm also on Trabia if anyone else is on there, I've got two characters I play. One is named Remiel Cathetel (Duskwight Elezen), and the other is Blake Farrence (Midlander Hyur).

So is there an Auction House like FFXI yet?
I know it was in the update notes, but I didn't realize what they meant till now. You know how it said something about specific colors defined what you specialize in? Yeah well they mean the literal color of the equip. Just saw on BG that when someone was trying to make new gathering clohes, the chest piece has gathering +28 but the colored ones were gathering +16 and stat points (VIT, PIE etc.) +6 depending on the color that it was made with. Since most tiers only have 3-4 colors that meant the gathering gear was defined by the prominent stat you wanted. Purple for fishing, red for mining, green for botany.
It makes sense and I think it will even out in the long run, but you guys now need to spend extra close attention to what gear you buy or want, colors are unfortunately(fortunately depending on your out look) more then just cosmetics now. They define what you are good at.

well that explains why someone bought my ugly green felt robe over the shiny pretty red one
those stats for crafting only affect HQ rite?
it's kinda annoying me how messy inventory looks now
gold bars and red Xs and different color highlights and underlines and rainbow balls oh my

I've been looking at recipes but I've been only been looking at stuff that's appropriate for my class. What I'm probably going to do is make a bunch of felt bliaud, gaskins, and hats to use for sacrificial items. There seems to be a hole in itemization for high level mage gloves and shoes so the only things I've been able to find are items with crafter stats. For gloves I'll make felt half gloves but I'll need to find a woodworker to make some shoes. For accessories I imagine the mythril wristlets you were talking about are probably the best bets. For a belt I'm making a bunch of dated tarred velveteen sash, which are rank 48. For my weapon the only good choice seems to be the Ivory Staff which is rank 49, I bought one for 100k but next time I'm going to gather the mats and see if Shiori can make one.
The only real problem I see with this plan is that almost everything requires boar leather and we haven't found a new source for that yet have we? I have ~50 left from before the patch so I'm good for a while at least.
EDIT: If you want truly cheap gear and care nothing for stats the best bets are some old dated recipes like the linen coatee, half gloves, etc. They are rank 50 and use a lot of useless mats.

You're either delusional or trolling if you think they'll forcefully delete everybody's characters and make them all reroll.
yeah
there's no reason to
they can just create a few new servers for players that don't want to compete against veterans
can anyone explain to me the leve selection screen?
so i picked 1 leve from a selection of 4 from humbleearth
sometimes, after i exited the screen and then went back, the selection will be immediately replenished to 4
sometimes it stayed at 3
is there a hidden bank that keeps track of ALL the new leves that goes up every 12 hours or something?
the timing don't seem to coincide with the leve reset

I quite like this change personally, there is a lot of moaning about it on the offical forum though.
Similarly the mage gear has int and mnd for different colours, hoping when jobs are released they completely lock out this gear and make white mage wear light colours and black mages wear dark colours.
The stats on gear make very little different compared to materia anyway so guess we'll see what happens.

I was playing and I really didnt like any of the DBs as a single source of info... So I don't know if i'm being foolish but i started making my own db website.
I managed to get the icons out of the data files
working on a recipe tool to pull data off their lodestone
and was able to extract item details... I just got to link em all together in a nice website and presto. Started working on this 12:37 AM its now 9:49 AM. Tired and going on 24 hours no sleep. Hope I can get this executed properly.

LOL51 sounds like a great idea, a lot of the info on YG is wrong these days and they haven't even updated the old recipes with the new.
Let us know when you have a working database
LOL at the live letter
Yoshi-p "Stop trying to be funny and come sit down"
Yoshi-p "We have a lot to get through today so you can go now"
Haha funny.
Edit:- you may want to skip alchemy and culnarian recipes because they didn't get new recipes.

Last night i made an exp party for nanawa mines. The skeletons on the way to pug camp killed us once. Then i switched to my level 50 pug to clear the way suddenly rest of the party members were like "OMG GREAT EXP! DONT SWITCH BACK! PL US!" i was like ok. In an hour i think they gained 3 levels lol. Tonight is my turn and gonna make another big party just for PLing each other in turns.
This is so broken lol. when i was killing for them they managed to get hate and die cuz of links. But they were like "OMG DONT NEED RAISE WE STILL GET EXP ITS SAFER LIKE THIS" lol. But after a while they stopped receiving Exp while dead. I guess there is a limit for exp while u are on the floor heh.

Yeah, wow... I really hope you can keep this going.
As others have said, there aren't any reliable sites at the moment.
YG doesn't seem to be updating - they haven't even updated the leve timer yet, which is probably a 3 second fix. If they had come up with a way for users to update it they wouldn't have this problem, so it might be good for you to find a way for users to submit their own fixes so you don't drive yourself nuts doing everything by hand.
