Yeah it's terrible. Thankfully GAF is always there to fill out your party.
Try again tomorrow during the day. They rotate the servers available for character creation every 4-5 hours. Ultros will be available again eventually. Check lodestone, they post on there which are currently available.
Dungeons are fine actually because it pulls from the low level duty roulette player base as well and people are always doing that to get levels. But yeah, something like levi HM doesn't work as well because no one cares about the daily trial roulette.

I've never had this problem, even queuing as DPS, on Balmung. I imagine the daily Duty Roulettes also help with this, but the longest I've ever waited for a story dungeon is around 20-22 minutes, at which time I change jobs to a Disciple of Land/Hand and gather/craft until the queue pops.

Are the gathering / crafting jobs worth the time investment this game? I only ever see people talking about battle job levels.
It's nice to be able to craft your own gear and meld materia. Plus you can sell what you make on the market place for big profit.
Good idea, thanks man. Also it's midnight here in the UK so I imagine it's full of US people at the moment. Hopefully I can squeeze in when it's quieter.

Good to know. Guess I'll start mining via remote play! Where and/or when do I learn to blacksmith?
Limsa Lominsa, I believe. I think you can start a craft at level 10.

Anyone having issues with kb/mouse setup for FFXIV on PS4? I'm trying to find a good setup. Thanks!
Re quoting for new page.
Not sure if it's the best, but I buy equipment from the market board. I offset the cost of the equipment by selling what I craft or gather. You can charge a halfway decent price for high quality materials.

It's very worth it. I'm making all of my money selling items from some of the trees that you can only detect at certain times of the day.
As for the best way to get new equipment, I started out in ARR focusing solely on leveling the War/Magic jobs I wanted and completing story mode. So I had quite a bit of gil saved up to spend on equipment upgrades.
I found this helpful for finding where to buy new equipment from vendors where I could, for gathering and crafting classes:

Hope that helps.
You have to put it in virtual mouse mode (press L1 and R3 together) then drag the top right corner of the chat window to make it bigger. Or just attach a mouse to do that I guess.

Perhaps I'm just misremembering, but I Seem to remember that on the PC version, whenever I went to the journal and then clicked Map, I always knew exactly where I needed to go. As a case in point, I'm currently doing the story mission immediately after the big throw down about the Crown. I need to go meet with someone in this place that I don' recall specifically having been before. When I click on "Map" it just shows it as being somewhere in Thanalan, but I can't immediately work out which bit of it. Is it Central or Western? I don't remember ever wondering that on PC.
Oh, it's absolutely fine really, it's just everything is that bit harder, and it's already a relatively complicated control scheme. The UI, necessarily, takes up much more of the screen due to the lower resolution and you end up with a very quickly scrolling text in the chat window. Luckily you don't use the R2/R3 buttons much so that's not too much of a problem, but just little things like trying to select enemies and quickly realising who you have selected just takes a little longer.
I think that a lot of it has to do with me just not being used to the ps4 controls and, because I;m using an old PC character, I imagine a lot of the "here's how you do this!" stuff that I did on PC would have helped me learn the controls a little better!
If you're in the zone the objective is in, the map will automatically show you the location in the zone. If you're not in the zone, it instead shows you the world map with the cursor over the zone. You can hit R1 to zoom in and see the exact location in that zone.

Thanks!
a) how do you level them
b) what is the chocobo whistle for? I put it in my inventory and used it but nothing happen
Buy gyshal greens to summon your chocobo to battle and then kill things while it is out. These can be bought from most vendors but I think you might need to complete a low level quest to be able to do this, I don't remember where it is, somewhere outside gridania IIRC.
The whistle was a one use item that added the chocobo to your skill screen under the mounts menu so that you can ride it.

got the platinum trophy. last trophy was the 1000 FATE trophy. jumped into the PS4 version 20 minutes later. feels good.
but i still think the PS3 version was a good one. they made it work, you have to applaud them for that. probably the best achievement of this whole relaunch.

I forgot about my early access code and only redeemed it today. Durr.
Played for a few hours, I'm a lowly level 15 with my Gladiator. I am not sure what I want to take as a direction for jobs or secondary classes or whatever. The more I play and the further I go, the more overwhelming the whole thing seems to be. I venture off the beaten path and find level 40 enemies and it's like "nope".
I also currently only have one quest on my list, so need to get more things on the go (I hate only having one active quest).

Well at level 30, the gladiator can do a quest to become a paladin (which you have to do to be competent going forward) but the other pre-req for that quest is to have the conjuror class at level 15, so something to keep in mind.

I will, thanks.
Back to T8 hope we can get it down today D: www.twitch.tv/jmairu
Does it usually take a few hours or a full day to get a registration code for creating a Square Enix account or the code for transferring accounts to a new system? Been waiting for over an hour and nothing's shown up in my Inbox
Make sure you check your spam folder.
I'm a fool and accidentally posted this question in the X/X-2 thread. But anyway. Why is it that this game can do cross-platform play across PC and PS3 just fine, and yet the Elder Scrolls Online devs said it was far too hard to get their game working cross-plat? Maybe a bit off topic but I've been curious.
It rather looks the opposite to me lol

ESO supports Xbox, and MS don't play that shit.
The quest is called "My Feisty Little Chocobo", and it's at Camp Tranquil (South Shroud) at level 30.

Wow, framerate went to shit for me during the Chimera relic boss battle once he started tossing the ice on the ground.

NEXT LEVEL lame™
After months of playing as a DPS class, I finally tried my hand at tanking. Holy shit am I bad. I haven't caused any wipes yet, but I seem to have dufficulty maintaining aggro. Any tips from experienced Marauders/Warriors?
I know that the rest of the plat for this game is just time consuming, but is he "binding the coil" trophy more doable than it was at launch? I'm wanting to jump into this game but only if I think I can do it all.
Edit: oh ya also - I have an account on pc already like level 30 in one class... Can I use that account for ps4 or will I miss something.
