My roommate just gifted me this so I can play with him. I have to admit I did miss FFXIV after beta ended. We're going to start new characters so I am not sure what I am going to do as far as classes and jobs go.
What is the general consensus on the different jobs these days?

My favourite is always when you use one of the skills to up your HQ drop rate at a gathering node that has an HQ bonus and...get not a single HQ item.

So then what is a game with a good example of RNG?
*failed to HQ another craft even with the HQ percentage at 96 percent*

I've convinced myself that using the HQ+ abilities actually lowers your chance.

Well we tried to do the solo queue method and it's not working at all.
The 4v4 format is probably better for these PvP events. However people really need to sign up if they are going to show up. It will not work if half the people who sign up don't show up, and a bunch of people who don't sign up do show up, and then when I ask everyone what their PvP ranks are in chat no one answers. There is no way to balance teams in this case and we end up with the same 2 teams fighting over and over again.
Thanks again everyone who turned out today!
Saturday Night Fights will return on Saturday, June 14th!

Yeeeeaaah, I don't mind doing this once, but, if they're going to keep doing this, they're going to need to make is easier. Or, more specifically, make it easier to re-allocate secondary stats, while keeping any grind specific to the primary stats.
As for accuracy, yeah it's the only stat that might be worth splitting. That said, unless you're working toward a very specific equipment set, it's hard to know, "exactly," how much accuracy is the bare minimum you'll need.
Also, yes, without knowing the exact gear that's being added in the next patch, we can't really plan for it. Granted, it's likely no additional 110 armor willbe added, but, we might see additional accessories, level doesn't mean as much there.
On that note, who said they were uploading one of the fights on youtube?
everyone's viable although BLM has a few weaknesses so they're getting buffs in next patch. not really a big deal though; just play who you think sounds the coolest to you.

Holy crap I thought this was only me. Had an 88% vanya silk craft going. Gives me a normal quality. Utter disappointment. Next day fuck up and get 28% quality but get a HQ silk anyway. So weird
Yeah it was: "forget all this other sh*t. There's no time. Just take him down!!"
Man, Garudu is hardcore. I tried her two times today and both times she just refused. Two parties disbanded after numerous attempt. Now that's a proper boss fight. Pretty awesome.

Now that I completed my first book, it's alright to dispose of it, right?

I can't check right now but do the myth mats still sell at a decent rate?
no point. just get a new book and it'll take up the same spot as the old book.

Not sure about the rest, but Tawny Latex sells really well still.

Anyone got any suggestions on leveling crafts for HQ crafting?
Like, i know about the levels and the Company seals ... but I'm talking about arranging it so that I can easily make HQ items AS I'm leveling up. I heard that regardless of what craft you wanna focus on you should just get all of them to 15 so that you can use different skills for different crafts to make making HQ items easier.
But IDK how true that is or which to get to 15 first.

Get everything to 15, shouldn't that be hard, had in HQ Grand Company dailies, next you seals and good chunk of xp
Cooking to 37 for Steady Hand II, get it to 50, you can almost HQ all basic Coil food so far w/o materia slotted with the hq gear, you will have a 90% success rate on HQ, no 1 star though
If you have botany to 50 it's smooth sailing due to you can farm your own logs and make them to lumber
You want the nest skill in the game and that is Breygot's Blessing, with Inner Quiet stacks
Move over to Weaver and try to earn Careful Synthesis I & II, I is early (15), II is 50
They are necessary
Then move to Alchemy for Comfort Zone (50) and Trick of the Trade (15)
Goldsmithing for Manipulation
From there almost all synths you do for any crafting classes, you can maximize synth quality to highest and just finish progress, netting you the most xp possible and 35-50% always HQ'ing

FFXIV GAF, I finally hit lvl50 on WAR for the first time last night, so where do I even begin in terms of endgame content?
Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated.

Stop! Before you do anything else, make sure you get Provoke as a cross class ability from gladiator level 22.
Exactly, a tank without provoked is useless.

A tank only needs Fracture.
Provoke that pesky spiny plume? Nah, fracture it!

Well you can skate by without Provoke until 50 if you're good at not getting patrols to pull accidentally and you always hold aggro on the whole pack.
But the various tank swap mechanics you face after you're 50 require you to have Provoke.
Fracture is the only skill on my bar bro it does everything
Should I switch Fracture and Skull Sunder? I'm using Skull Sunder but after this time I think it's useless (PLD I'll 73]
).
Provoke requires me to level a class that's shit on early levels to 22 though :<
If you're serious about end game you have no choice. Its poor design but it is how it is.

Don't worry, picking up Provoke isn't too rough.
- Do the GLA hunting log
- Do guildleves (incidentally, you can do these with a party) and guildhests (first-time bonus is individual for each class now)
- Maybe run the early dungeons a few times
- You'll probably get a bunch of XP from the challenge log too
- Everyone LOVES doing FATEs
Probably take a weekend? Not so bad really.
Personally, I recommend taking it up to 26 at least. There's no benefit to WAR for doing that, but at 26 you get Rage of Halone, the third piece of the gladiator aggro combo, which looks and sounds incredibly satisfying and makes up for 25 levels of shit.

It goes by fast. My tank is almost 47 and I have it. It was really easy to get. It beats leveling up THR to 26...
worst part of the game by far

I just lvl up thr to 26. God, it was horrible. So slow and boring. Once I got him to 26, he'd definitely improved. Scathe is really good. Decided I might as well take him up to Black Mage.
I was so traumatized by this I'll probably never level a Black Mage to 50 now. >_>;

I've not played at all in the past few weeks (except pop in the other day to check out setting your default idle and sit poses). I'm kinda burnt out on lack of new dungeons and the grind for Sol tomes and books and seeing and reading about the Alexandrite and scrolls and materia and all that makes me not want to bother going any further with the Animus stuff.
I liked the grind in the book. It got you to do stuff, run dungeons you might not normally run, do fates and leves you would usually ignore, explore and kill some monsters in places you don't always go to. I was hoping for things more along those lines instead of more fate grinding and and even more RNG shit with materia.

I thought the books were perfect for the same reasons you stated if they just removed the 1500 myth cost for each. I really hope when they tone this quest down they leave the 9 books but just make them free/500myth each
