Lol, how'd you end up doing that? Leve's?
No I don't run leves..and i barely did Palace. I guess since I finish ARR when close to 50, I went into HW around 55ish and finish hW 65. I guess since there were no level cap I just kept leveling up. Idk
Wow, yeah. Back when I finished HW a few months after it's release I think I ended up at 59.

I saw this post this morning but i need to go back to it now because i agree.
TODAY , as a healer i had nothing but these.
So annoying , not even wanting for the rest of the party to be ready , pulling the boss , even when the teammates are far behind or recovering ( couldn't even have time to re-summon my eos ) because someone wanted to rush.
Why the rush ? making everyone job more difficult just to save 4 minutes in the end ?
So dumb
Just saw this on the Lodestone Suspension of Free Trial to Full Version Upgrades on Mog Station
Posting in case anyone in this thread is on the trial version and looking to commit.

This is awesome! Which Knives are those? Garuda Trail?
Just hit 70 finally, still need to finish the MSQ and Job Quest though, too tired to do it tonight.
Does anyone have a link for the location of the FATE for the Fox Minion fragments? Not the actual Fox Lady, but the FATE. Ive done it once already but completely forgot where it was, all I remember is it was by a lonely tree in the middle of a shallow lake.
It's the Yukimitsu, the Ninja's AF2 weapon. You can get it by giving Centurio seals to the old guy behind the counter at the tavern in Ishgard.
What does this actually mean? I'm playing through the trial right now have a key from the $5 Amazon sale I'm planning on using once I hit the level cap. I can still do that right? I don't know anything about the mog station.
I believe it means that you need to buy the game (if you bought from Amazon you're probably fine), rather than just unlock it on Square Enix's accoutn system.
So I bought this on steam (8 bucks!) and am really digging it.
What do I need to buy now to get the expansions, do I need to get heavensward or is it included in Stormblood now? The "Complete" FFXIV is really cheap here in physical but I read somewhere you can't use physical keys with the steam edition?

Stormblood includes Heavensward. But if you bought FFXIV on Steam, make sure you buy every subsequent thing on Steam too. You're locked in. Just like me!

Does buying the Steam version get you 30 days too for free like it does if you buy the PS4 / (non steam) PC versions? I still haven't actually paid a dollar yet for the subscription (sorry duckroll) because I got the PS4 and PC free time that comes with the game stacking together lol.
Thank you Duckroll!
Also: RIP. If I walked into a store I could have got the whole thing with expansions for half the price of just stormblood from steam T_T
@above: yeah it gives you 30 days when you buy it, then I got some bonus days for hitting level 30
What are the pants/leggings on this character?

Fucking lalafells always gotta be special snowflakes.
So I don't remember my password and I can't access the email my SE account is linked to. I called aol customer service and everything and they are unable to get into my account. What the fuck do I do? I can't reset my password because the confirmation code is being sent to that blocked email address. I'm pissed. Will I have to create a new character if I create a new SE account?

If I'm a lvl 60 gatherer with the base 3.0 hq gear, I think it was serpent skin, without slotted materia, how should I go about leveling? Should I try and grind until I hit 61 and buy hq or vendor gear, or should I buy the ironworks gear so that I can gather easier?

Starts to get more enjoyable around 40.
Between 30 and 40 you get the 3 in the 1-2-3, Wildfire, and the first turret. NuWildfire is kind of weird and without the old buffs or the old damage oGCDs at 40 it still isn't going to feel fully thought out most likely.
Wait for after the live letter tonight.
The short version is that the SB rework left the job in really bad shape before 64; they removed the existing core mechanic, replaced it with something new, and then made the actual cool new part level 64. Before then you have a bunch of pieces that don't make a lot of sense. This is a not-terrible overview of Stormblood Machinist, but you'll notice you have access to almost nothing it talks about at level 30. It's an absolute mess at low levels right now, the big mystery is if they fix the destination or not.
Post 64 it's in a rough but fixable spot; what if anything they announce they're doing to the job in the patch next week will probably determine how much guidance is out there. If they leave it as-is it won't get played much.

I'm kind of glad Blank doesn't do damage anymore because a lot of young MCHs thought they could finish off mobs and just ended up making melee DPS and tanks annoyed lol
They still use it in PotD, and it's the most annoying thing there is.
When I'm leveling Summoner in there, I don't use Garuda for that reason.
It's just a dick move.

Mixed feelings for me. It suuuuucks not having as many damage oGCDs, but as a melee main, accidentally pushing something always hurts me inside.
Responsible Blank usage was a thing, and doesn't address that we lost our native stun and got to keep useless Blank.

(mostly it's that most of the flow you got used to for WF in HW is completely removed now, so WF at 40 is a distant cousin to what it ends up being at 70.)

I don't think it gets fun before 64 in pve. However it's instant fun in pvp. You're pretty much constantly in high fever and destroying everyone.

Woah wait, when does this start?
It should be in three hours; it will probably be the usual Live Letter of informative meaning we'll get a bunch of information about two or three things and then "please look forward to the patch notes!" on the rest, but when they released 4.01 they told people to wait for the 7/15 LL and 7/18 4.05 patch for balance changes that will hit alongside Savage this Tuesday.
Also lost acess to my Square account email. Sent a ticket to support, hoping for the best.
What really sucks is that I cant even buy the game again on steam, since I already own it, and I cant remove it from my library and buy it again because steam will just send me the same key. And the saddest part is that I KNOW my Square Enix account credentials, I cant log in because they are too trigger happy with the "suspect behaviour" thing.
That's a long time to wait for it to get good. My main isn't even at 64 yet.

Red Mage nerfs incoming.
On the one hand staying up until 2:30 for inevitable disappointment seems unwise.
On the other hand they're mentioning a lot of the Big Questions as things they'll address in the LL:
MCH hype for inevitable letdown (60s stabilizer, restore Overheat, make Turretnado Kick not dumb, please not just potency bumps) and I'm just going to laugh that nobody in their testing realized how annoying Demi-Bahamut was going to be.

Fingers crossed for Warrior changes.

Uhhhhh visiting the garden after beating the boss would be awesome!
What a shame that this wonderful area is locked away after the boss.

Huh, do we need a nerf..?
I guess I got mine to 70 and I still gear it up with leftover totems from my Ex Primal runs, but I don't really play it much. Switched to Paladin pretty much full time.
I suppose I'm not super familiar with where they rank damage wise, but I felt like they were kind of in a good place -- not too powerful, not too weak.
I mean on one hand yeah it would be cool, on the other hand, I think that's the least of their concerns at the moment....
That feel when you reach 99 Lakshimi totems and haven't seen the mount drop since the first runs. At least I'll be able to buy it once they add the option to.
The problem is that they give you the heat gauge way too soon. So you have this gauge to manage, yet you don't have anything interesting to get out of it until lv 64. Once you get there, the gameplay gets more interesting, yet quickly frustrating if you fail to properly manage your heat. I only play mch in pvp, but I hope they'll bring some changes on Tuesday for those who main it.

RDM is middle of the pack but with a higher skill floor.
Unlikely they'll be nerfed especially considering that actual nerfs are fairly rare in this game.
The question was about Triple Cast for BLM, anyway.
If Red Mage gets nerfed depending on severity it's liable to be passed up for BRD of all things. RDM doesn't need a nerf, SMN and BLM need buffs.

Shake it off is the most useless skill ever, what they were thinking?
WAR needs some adjustments, that said, I played WAR yesterday and is still more fun on dungeons than PLD.

Unnaceptable, pls buff.
