LLDF is garbage for DPS unless you have a party. I've been leveling like three different DPS classes in the past week and it's always terrible unless you can get a healer and/or tank friend to queue with you.

For solo leveling it depends on the level, but as a DPS job and without a party to make dungeon queues fast, people usually do FATEs. If you have a lot of levequest allowances, I would look into any exploitable leves at whatever level you are at. E.g. if you are in the low 30s and trying to FATE level at Costa Del Sol, just do the "Out to Sea" leve over and over instead.

Once you get to Coerthas I guess things pick up a bit as there are always people doing FATEs there but you might need something to do as a break if that gets boring and your dungeon queues are 30m+. I try to save challenge log stuff for the 40s since I find those levels to be boring usually.

Thanks for the response.

Sounds not too much different than it used to be, just with much shittier duty finder queue times. Otherwise, that sounds almost identical to how it was when I leveled originally (FATE spamming and exploiting ones that you can).

I actually DID just get a queue to pop, ~25 min wait. Tank immediatelly logged off.

T9 down, finally. XD
I didn't see P3 before, but today I saw it and cleared t9 at the same time. .

Tried T10, reached P4, will try it later.

Is this noobie friendly? I'm thinking of trying this during the holidays to see if I like it as my first MMO. The game is on sale on the SE store and you get 30 free days with it. Is the job system easy to understand?

 

[Mesharey]

It's my 1st mmo, it's easy, kinda complicated at 1st but will be easy.

There's a 14 day trial you could check out to see if it's your cup of tea

 

[Frazley]

Notice anything different? Yes, I got a new hat.

I bought the 10$ game from the SE store. Seems it takes a while to process because it's digital river lol. They've taken money from paypal but still no key haha.

I would consider this the easiest and most accessible MMO yet

Doesnt ever get to ridiculous until you hit 50

Then shit hits the fan

it's mainly for noobies actually.

I actually think that's a good thing because FFXI was not and it really turned me off from wanting to play it.

It's my first MMO as well and the game did a god job with guiding me through all the important mechanics and systems. Never felt lost on my way to 50.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Cool, then.

I'm excited to try this once I'm out of digital river hell

it prevents me from playing too much, that's what i realized very early. you hit that power cap and go full glamour after some point.

T10 doesn't have 4 phases. It has 3.

 

[Kenai]

Don't forget the after party!

 

[scy]

now everyone can remember the horror

T10 doesn't have 4 phases. It has 3.

Some of the way people beak it down they count adds as a phase so 5 total phases.

 

[ieptbarakat]

Quick question. My account is still eligible to put in someone's recruitment code, but do I need to be on the same server as them so they can get their bonus circlet/mount?

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Blossoming romance?

 

[the_sun_king]

I want a T9 clear. ;.;

Spoiler

And also Amon's Hat. It still eludes me.

No, they can be on different servers.

 

[ieptbarakat]

No, they can be on different servers.

Thanks for the info.

I've been trying to get into MMORPGs for years and FFXIV is so far the only one that has kept my attention for more than an hour. I've been playing for 6 or 7 hours now and I'm really enjoying it.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Welp potentially have a new static but they want me to go WAR. This shall be interesting...

 

[Taruranto]

So I like... got into fishing...

On other hand, looks like some of the Forager's set parts can reach the same stats as HQ with some Materia. Should save me some millions.

 

[Tabris]

It seems like you change jobs with every single static. Must make you perpetually behind in terms of gear.

 

[Haman Karn]

The ending to that Eternal Bonding Ceremony was amazing!

 

[Augemitbutter]

changing jobs is like changing avatars.

 

[TUSR]

After starting and playing for 5 hours, I have one question.

Are the servers always this laggy?

 

[Sykotik]

I hit 50 on my first class about 3 days ago. I'm a Monk.

I'm kind of lost as to what to do, now. I figured I would level the LNC to get the cross skills I need, but it's going slow as molasses since nobody is farming low-level fates and DF is about 30 minutes per queue.

Anyway, mainly what I want to learn is what gives the new-player soldiery bonuses I hear so much about? Is it only the roulettes, or all lv.50 duties? I tried a bit of google-fu but all I end up with is "this is the fastest way to get soldiery" topics.

Any advice as what to actually begin working on would be great, also. I still need to finish the story to unlock everything, but I would like to invite GAF people if there's a soldiery bonus in it for them, too. I just don't know what actually gives that bonus.

Remember to do the quest that unlocks the Challenge Log. It gives nice amounts of xp for doing stuff that you'd do anyway.

Thanks. I completely missed it. Does it reset? It seems like a waste to complete those challenges on a level 20.

Edit: I just read that it does reset. thanks again for telling me about it.

 

[scy]

In fact, it resets real soon (Tuesday) so try to complete as many as you can.

The 50 and end-game dungeons / trials etc. give sol tomes. Elite hunts also do, so if you can find a good hunt linkshell that's a pretty fast way of getting some sometimes.

because awesome

current blm rotation

planned blm rotation

can someone with better understanding of japanese explain what the last line of 2nd and 3rd picture says? "if you equip ice/thunder staff the ??? of magic will automatically change"

 

[ponpo]

They're making a fire a DoT?

The last slide is talking about how they want weapons, armour, defense, etc. to be more affected by the damage type they are doing. It makes it sound like they might actually make elements matter, e.g. fire or ice doing more to specific enemies.

Also if they change the way the current rotation works, like in those proposed examples, they need to change MP regen method.

And D speaks to the element thing saying maybe elemental materia use might increase now.

The rotation is planned to be changed to be more of a generic "One element -> Another element" rather than purely Ice / Fire swaps. And, yeah, all translations I've seen have basically been about elemental type / resists will be relevant.

i meant the last sentence of slide number 2 and 3

 

[GraveRobberX]

Come to see how the game is and community is going, see LALA Lovin', so still the same thing, nothing changed

 

[docbon]

nuke this page, me included.

 

[irfaanator]

i think I'm gonna throw up

 

[Teknoman]

So would this mean a return to slash/pierce/blunt weaknesses?

 

[chrono01]

I'm all for BLM rotation changes, if SE feels it's for the best. It might be nice to try something new for a change [since I've been, more-or-less, doing the exact same thing since I hit Level 50 over a year ago].

 

[Valor]

I hit Level 60 over a year ago].

How did you Heavensward before us D:

Takato, you got a lot of explaining to do

Where is the brain bleach used for Bara's rabbit pants and my Mog Diaper?
