Any Monks here to give some advice?

Should I get the Hellish Claws or the Relic Zenith weapon? I've heard the Hellish are better for DPS, but the Zenith might be better if im planning to do T5 soon. Any consensus? Im currently ilvl 83, if that helps in deciding.

The reason Hellish Claws were so appealing before was because they didn't hinder your myth gear progression back when myth was capped at 450 a week. Now that you can get as much myth as you want, the Zenith might be more appealing because you'll have it for Atma and Animus progression while the Hellish Claws will forever stay i90.

Of course, getting the EM weapons is much quicker if you have a good group to run all three with. Takes about 30 minutes versus a bunch of Brayflox HM farming to 900 myth.

Holy hell. I was just going to buy the regular version, but that fat chocobo is seriously tempting.

Can someone clarify for me how leveling works after level 15ish... I ran out of area quests to do and there seems to be no indication of where to go next. Is it a straight up grindfest till max from here on? Instead of going to the next area and getting quests from questgivers (like WoW), I have to do dungeons and light parties and the occasional main story quest? Thanks.

You need to find your main story quest, the game is designed so you can get your first level 50 by pretty much just following the main storyline quests. Try and save sidequests for levelling other classes/jobs. Look in your journal and find the last main storyline quest you did and see where it ended you will most likely pick the next quest up from there.

My first time in Sastasha and we basically had to do it with Tank-free because the tank we were stuck with was terrible. Felt good though.

Is this F2P?

Nope, thankfully

The mount has it's own song when riding as well. I also love how the wind-up moogles dance around with each other when they are in groups.

So I just bought the ps3 version (to play on the ps4) and registered the code on my PSN account but it's not recognizing it when I try to log in on the ps4. I'm guessing I need a ps3 to boot one time don't I and I just wasted $20?

You need to go to the mog station to upgrade ps3 to ps4 license.

How do I register the ps3 license to my square Enix account with a physical ps3 copy (without a ps3 console) it just tells me to log into the account on the ps3 on the mog station

 

[Vashetti]

Nope, thankfully

I agree.

I don't mind paying for this game, it's that good.

 

[Soi-Fong]

The moogle minions dance together guys!! I have cavities from how cute it is!!!!!!!

 

[Vashetti]

I want a Valefor minion.

 

[Sorian]

Dat title change. I'm not sure who I should blame.

My first time in Satasha our tank was a bot. It wouldn't even use skills that caused enmity.

I'm a super mmorpg noob, is this game friendly to newcomers? I played WoW for a couple of months 7 years ago and I didn't really like it. Is FF14 like WoW or is it pretty different?

Thanks for the answers!

Not sure but can you register codes on the psn store on pc? I guess you would need a friends ps3 then.

What didn't you like about WoW?

 

[Soi-Fong]

Title change is hilarious. Lol

 

[jet1911]

Mostly the combat and the way quests/how they were given. Kill 10 rats! Kill 12 zombies! Wasn't fan of the art too.

Well, the beginning of the game is sorta like that, but it soon branches out.

 

[Trojita]

The quests are still structured kind of like that but more convenient because when you need an item for a quest from a monster you kill they will instantly give it to you instead of waiting for the item roulette in WoW. There is some variety to the quests besides kill x monste,r but there really hasn't been any kind of grand innovation besides that in the MMO genre.

Combat with a controller is fun.

 

[SoopaMan2K]

LOL! This is on Ultros.

 

[Sorian]

About as fun as a bullet in the gut imo.

 

[Vashetti]

Incredible.

What are you playing as with a controller? Lancer/Dragoon is fun. I started playing Pugilist/Monk, but it seems kind of boring.

You'll probably dislike this game too.

If you're bad, yeah.

I play BLM and it's easy to do with a controller but everything is better with kb/m in an MMO.

If you're bad, yeah.

Zomba pls I choose the superior option.

No one is gonna argue with you, but some people like myself like playing on a couch, and the controller works fine for it.

 

[Gaz_RB]

lol at the title change. Fat Chocobo's are truly taking over.

I'm gonna name mine Chocochip.

I love how chilled out the Fat Chocobo looks.

This has meme potential.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Well then, time for the HM primals for my second Relic. Hope it won't be as bad as the first one.

 

[Wilsongt]

MASS CHOCOBO OBESITY EPIDEMIC. SOMEONE CALL JENNY CRAIG

Marking means, before you head into a group of enemies, you label each one 1, 2, 3, etc. in the order you plan to attack them, so your DPS knows which enemy to focus on. On PS you can highlight an enemy and hit square, on PC hit shift+M or right click and select mark.

Had no idea about this, I assigned the markers to my extended hot bar but this will make it easier I think. Thanks for the tip.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Soooooo many effin cholesterol!!!!!

 

[Pankratous]

Playing as a CNJ just now to get it up to level 15 - doing some Guildhests etc for experience. Question, how in the hell do you cure other people effectively? Every time I cure the tank, my target indicator / cursor deselects them, and I have to try and select them again. It's a nuisance, why doesn't it just stay on them until I choose to move it?

 

[Epcott]

So many fat chicks here in Excalibur.

I thought it was a prize from the egg hunt seasonal game. I really tried to play it but could not find anyone to party with and I could not find the second egg cap. Oh well, been too busy finally exploring the Highlands. Love the music there

 

[Van]

So how do I get the giant chicken

You need to push X to target the tank. If you just use the d-pad to select a party member, it will behave as a mouseover and deselect the target after the cast.

You can use that to your advantage, by targeting the tank and using the soft cursor to heal a DPS once and instantly go back to the tank.

Purchase/upgrade to the collector's edition.

You'll also get the original PS3/PC collector's edition exclusive items too.

That I don't know sorry.

I only ever bought the collector's edition.

I know you definitely can upgrade though.

 

[Sophia]

How do I upgrade?

You can upgrade on the MogStation for $20. This is account wide, not platform specific, and will give you all the CE items.

MogStation link. When in doubt, check the MogStation! The answer to all account related issues is probably there.

I know, right? Hop on the wagon.
