Alright, decision time Thaumature or Arcanist? I like the Thau for the bursty magic dmg and would turn to Black mage in the end and but I hear Arcanist is more DoT related and they get a pet.

You'll need to play both for the cross class skills anyway, so pick one randomly and then try the other one later.

That said, my main job is Black Mage and we're awesome. Bonus points if you're a Lala.

Any tips on leveling the secondary? I made the mistake of doing all the quests I could find when I played this at release and had nothing to do but story quests and grinding for my secondary the first time.

Is it still possible to buy the digital PS3 version for $25 and upgrade to the PS4 version?

 

[oconnomiyaki]

I think that it's pretty cool that the game can tell if you are using Remote Play and automatically remaps the shoulder buttons to something sensible. So L1 and R1 become the action bars.

Too bad Remote Play works like shit in my house for some reason.

This relic reborn quest is unnecessarily complex. Just bought the wrong bloody item from the market.

Sell it back and then buy the real item, and be more careful next time.

1- Equip your preorder hat that gives 20% exp from levels 1-10

2 - Hunting log

3 - Fates

4 - Dungeons

Hopefully I can make back most of what I lost, a kindly member from the FC fixed the materia onto the proper weapon for me

Will this beautiful red and white White Mage robe end up getting replaced?

I designed my character with red hair because I knew it would look good.

I think I've heard of this. Is this like on WoW where you can keep the stats/effects of a piece of gear but make it look like another piece of gear for aesthetic purposes?

 

[Glorious Ownage]

FATE parties

I'm struggling with this on a new class most of the mid level fates are empty and difficult to solo as a blm

Please, the new stuff to upgrade the relic will make your brain bleed.

The day I have to spend 1500 Myths to get 6 Skill speed on my Atma Bravura is goning to be a very sad day indeed

 

[Vashetti]

Okay, I'm Level 50, got all my basic WHM gear and trying to get my relic. I need to get my item level up to 52 (I'm currently item level 47) for A Relic Reborn: The Chimera. What's the best way to do that: Amdapor Keep?

I believe Wanderer's Palace is the easier dungeon IIRC but either dungeon should have drops for you. Be prepared if you do WP with randoms though because that is one of the main speed run dungeons so you may get snide comments if you aren't keeping up (and you won't be able to at ilvl 47)

Wiped 3 Times in titan hard mode with duty finder but we eventually won and got my drg relic made

Okay thanks. I was getting snide comments earlier for watching cutscenes in the final story dungeon.

"Why would you play an MMO for the story? lol"

Those people are dumb. Most players would have no problem with you watching cutscenes the first time through as long as you say so at the beginning.

 

[Teknoman]

Ugh, hate it when that happens. Especially in Final Fantasy of all things, the game sets itself apart from other MMOs by providing a story over other things.

The damn battle time limits arent anywhere near as strict as XI, and cutscenes arent anywhere near as long...so whats the big deal?

 

[Phlebas]

Are you guys using Jst or your own local time?

Local time for me.

 

[Sorian]

Those people are just idiots and usually suck at the game content anyway which is why they are re-running outdated content and then pissing and moaning when others are trying to enjoy it.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Currently LV 20 on my Botanist. What's the best ways to get better equipment and is it worth it to keep leveling it up?

 

[Spehornoob]

Noob question! Just hit my second 50, but I started it right after my first 50, so I haven't done any end-game content yet. For the relic weapon quest, is there any easy way to obtain the necessary weapon+materia meld combination without levelling up a crafting class? Or is that a pretty necessary thing to obtain your relic?

 

[rrc1594]

Can you redo quest, because I'm on my second class and the quest are to high for me to do them! I'm stuck on lvl 12

You can buy the stuff off the market as well.

Nope, FATE grind and do your hunting log.

I went to the market and just bought mine.

Buy the weapon plus materia in the market. Then just ask someone to do the meld for you. Are you in the gaf FC? I'm sure someone would help you out.

Are you going to bother and level it?

I got to level 2 with mine and gave up. So sloooooooooooow.

You aren't meant to actively level it up. It's more about remembering to have it out if you are doing something else.

[tiggerkiddo]

Can you find the little Darkness Tear?

 

[Sophia]

I think I'll make a second character and join you all on Ultros.... assuming I can get in.

 

[Vashetti]

Yes they can fight in battle with you and even have "talent trees".

You should be able to

 

[Eldren]

I've been trying all evening with no success. Is there like a secondary backup server that GAF uses? I suspect I won't have much luck with Ultros.

Or do grand company leves because SE fails at game design and makes it so the choco is a "party member"

 

[Sophia]

It's not accepting any more new characters.

This game needs some cross-server functionality pretty badly. I'm almost tempted to transfer over and join you all, seeing as stuff blew up on my current server.

 

[Devilgunman]

I know I'm late to the main story but didn't expect this. Last night I was queuing (as a DPS) for Levi HM for ONE AND A HALF hour and still no party..... this is ridiculous.

Yup, story progression being tied to certain dungeons is a nightmare, and I imagine it's going to be even worse in a year's time for new players.

Your playthrough can literally come to a standstill while you're waiting for other people who need to do the same content as you. It's really shortsighted.
