Final Fantasy XIV General: Potatos vs [email protected]/* */, racewar now! Edition
Less than 2 weeks to the next patch where the Relic wild ride begins anew along with a dungeon even deeper and girthier than before!
Its never been a better time to jump into this weeb shit and be neckbeard garbage with the rest of us, come and join the fun and shitposting friends! Halloween Spooks are Happening which means cute girls in slutty outfits and spooky prizes to be had in the DATABASE!
Reminder: They stopped demolishing houses due to the Japanese earthquake in April, now they have grown accustomed to the wall eyes in Morioh town the demolitions will recommence as of patch 3.4!
also Then I get to do the same shit to kit DRG because I want it as a secondary.

Adam Ward
Whoa, I wouldn't go nearly that far.
Evan Robinson
If that's the criteria then 90% of the female npcs and PCs are whore as well.
Nah, she was more useful than toriyama's waifu. Didn't sink an entire franchise either!

Xavier Taylor
How? And I quote you here
In response to me mentioning her assless dress
Are you tired user? I'd be tired to if I had to defend such a shit waifu.
Mason Diaz
When I said that the majority of females npcs and pcs look like whores due to how armor looks. You are hinging on a single piece of armor. You can't or won't see the forest from the trees. If anything, i'm tired of people using mental gymnastics to make a point. I'm not denying Milifina is a shit waifu but it must be embarrassing when you have to use leftist tactics to prove it.
Nicholas Thomas
Show me. More covering than Minfilia's shit How?
Didn't you just say this?
Which is it? Is she waifu material or a shit waifu?
Adrian Murphy
see
>Implying your waifu isn't shit to someone else
Anthony White
Are you going to show me these 90% of slutwear NPCs or no? Will you clarify how you think Minfilia is waifu material, but a shit waifu?
Daniel Sullivan
At this point I could show you a nude mod and you would say that's not slutty enough because that is the only argument you have left.
Your waifu is shit btw m8. Think about it.
Luis Rogers
You could maybe reference them, the miqo'te dancers, the gladiators in the DD sets.
Is that too hard for you? Provided, those examples come nowhere near close to the bullshit '90%' figure you gave.
Nowhere did I ever imply this. You accuse someone of moving goalposts, then do the same yourself? Fuck off to cuckchan fam.
Cooper Garcia
nice reddit spacing btw, fam. :^)
Jacob Russell
This leveling speed is criminal.
Anyone know if all 13 padjal weapons unlocks something?
Elijah Hughes
Holy fucking shit how retarded are you? To address your stupid point, do you forget that slut glamours glamour OVER their armor? Did you look at the base armors before they were glamoured?
I can do it too, fuckboi. If I could be assed, I'd compare Minfilia's Attire to those of the 45-50 job gear. I don't have anywhere near the required autism however.
Sonny boy, I have been typing with this format since before 8ch or Holla Forums was a thing. Do you really expect me to lump everything together into a scrambled wall of text with no organization like a fucking illiterate?
Holy fucking shit you want to accuse of mental gymnastics but you're running the fucking olympics. This is Evolve tier denial you have. Enjoy your shitass waifu, Toriyama.
Leo Lopez
That's just fucking rude. Besides, are you really going to make the argument that the characters in game don't look like sluts/whores when you take PCs in account? I do find it funny that you would accuse me of having autism and then proceed to take a generalized number like 90% and treat it as a literal figure. Sounds like you are calling the kettle a nigger.
Jackson Perry
why is there no r34 of yda or any of the NPCs? Seems like the fags that play this only make shitty porn of their own characters

Eli Lopez
Any DRK main here? What is the best combo with max dps? Is it Power Slash combo or Souleater combo. Also, souleater and delirium seem to do the same amount of damage from my observation
I play on PS4 so I cant run any parser to calculate my dps. I just realize i'm a subpar tank with shit dps and suitable for endgame content. So I decided to change my rotation to give the best possible dps.
Carson Jackson
DA+Souleater Spam Blood Weapon as often as you can, keep scourge and delerium up, spam DA+Souleater. Check Delerium and Souleater potency
Gavin Wood
DID SOMEONE SAY CATGIRLS??
Brandon Cooper
Dark Arts cost a lot of MP though, even with blood weapon and Syphon Strike, you can't regain MP fast enough to spam Dark Arts. At full MP, you can do maybe 3 Dark Arts then it takes while to fill it to max. My main concern is when to have to aggro adds or tank switch since Grit also cost MP and will fucked you up if you just spam DA combo. Delirium only give debuff right? I dont think it add to my dps. sure it help with mitigating damage but I want combo for dps, and why people hate carve and spit? Most people rarely use it and only focus on DA+Souleater
Benjamin Bell
The reason for Minfilia's dress is because she got it from her mother, who's Miqo'te. There's a few armors in the game that get holes in the ass when c@'s wear them for tails.
James Garcia
Meant for
Owen Wright
partially what said.
think of it as a priority system.
first you have carve and spit. use that with DA asap when it's ready. keep scourge/delerium up (unless there's a mnk in the party, then don't worry about delerium) and time the use of your OGCD attacks like plunge and low blow to when you are using blood weapon to maximize MP return. use dark passenger on cooldown, making sure you have mana to use for DA+CnS. dont DA DP unless you're against more than one target.
other than that, use DA+SE combo as your main dps rotation, balancing all the stuff above. you can sub in delerium for SE if you need to conserve mana for a future DA, since an unbuffed SE does less dmg than delerium does.
also, turn off darkside if you're going to be away from the boss for more than 4-5 seconds, such as when Alex does stasis in A12. the mana you'll regen will outweigh the cost of recasting darkside, and any time you spend away from the target not using syphon strike is wasted mana.
oh, and don't be afraid to use blood price if you know unavoidable damage is coming. a good example of this is during sophia ex when she uses her 3x cintamani combo.
Lucas Long
this is when it helps to know the fight. if you know it's a fight that requires some sort of longer-term tank swap (like sophia ex) then you just need to learn the fight, learn when the swaps will happen, and ensure you're ready to put Grit up when necessary.
if it's a fight like in A11 where you OT the E.D.D. then all you need to do is generate enough aggro to hold the mob until it dies, which can be done with a DA+power slash. in general though, if you're worried that you may need to go into grit, then make sure you keep your MP above a certain level.

Austin Edwards
t-thanks Shiva
Cooper Russell
I just check Power Slash have higher combo potency than Souleater and Delirium without DA Power Slash combo: 300 potency Souleater combo: 240 potency Delirium combo: 280 potency
Now this is where MP vs DPS kinda screwed DRK. if you want to maintain high dps, the logical answer is PowerSlash as your main combo with delirium or DA+souleater on the side. But if you want to maintain MP, you do souleater combo. So why peoples opted for souleater combo for higher dps? its not like you can spam DA all the time. If you want MP regen, blood weapon and blood price can give you better MP. Syphon Strike doesn't give you enough MP anyway with Darkside on.
Mason Jones
Don't.
Jaxon Cooper
But it have the most dps. I dont think you can steal agrro anyway without Grit on
Justin Young
You cut in to your DPS in the long run because over time you will do fewer DA Souleaters/CnS.
Ryan Hall
Souleater didnt give you MP though, its Syphon Strike. If you want MP regen while doing high dps, Delirium combo is better than Souleater. Souleater give you HP but only as MT since you need Grit
Connor Price
Do you feel it?
Benjamin Thomas
I never said it did. Or you can use Blood Weapon in conjunction with Siphon Strike, while using BOTH Delirium and Dark Arts+Souleater. Blood Weapon. The cooldown is only 40 seconds. A few siphon strikes will buy you an additional Dark Arts.
Go check the wiki, do some research on DRK other than glancing at action potency and talking about how every other DRK is wrong but you.
Anthony Butler
fucking plebs i swear.
David Hill
i'm glad wow tossed that shit out the window because hopefully mmos will follow that example to some degree
Oliver Perry
That's not what I'm doing at all, I just want to know which combo have high dps without the use of DA and you didn't exactly counter my argument though. It sound like you agree that Delirium is better than souleater.
Thats what I'm doing right now, I just want to know the logic behind souleater being the main combo (which is in every DRK guide I've seen).
Colton Collins
Because Souleater chains with Siphon Strike and can be Dark Arts augmented to a very high potency.
Lucas Williams
last tier tome for alt job alex and current for main.
Gabriel Thompson
So does Delirium Best rotation would be Delirium combo and only use Souleater with DA like CnS
Elijah Williams
You will be (should be) using DA souleater a LOT more often than CnS/Delirium.
To simplify, in case anything has been misunderstood. Dark arts CnS= Yes Delirium=Yes Dark arts souleater=yes power slash= NO.
Use blood weapon CONSTANTLY. If I'm not mistaken, BW has a 40sec recast, with 15s uptime, making it really fucking nice.

THE REAL DEBATE: CATGIRL MINISKIRT OR DRAGIRL PANTELETTES
YOU CAN ONLY CHOOSE ONE.
Hudson Bennett
I've found if you want almost immediate results, not even kidding, include in your report that you're a woman.
Blake Butler
There are a ton of literal retards in ff14. You had them in 11 as well.
Aether is a much bigger server cluster than Primal, so you're less likely to run into shitters. However, Balmung is in Aether, so those shitters will be especially bad when they show up.
I wouldn't worry about it much though as you'll likely never run into them again.
Brandon Price
Tough choice, but I'm gonna have to go with the miniskirt. Goddammit why can't femroes have good skirt options.
It's left vague. Hyur and Elzen can breed together, but that's all that's been shown.
Aaron Evans
But could a dragirl and catgirl create adorable abominations together?
Gabriel Martinez
do people just put in reports "I'm a woman and this guy was mean to me"?
I don't know if only certain species could crossbreed I think he would have specified there
Cooper Wood
I do, and I usually get replies within a couple hours.
Matthew Morales
When does this game usually go on sale?
Isaac Martin
It's left very vague and it doesn't say can all races interbreed, but can different races interbreed. The only two races we've seen do it are Hyur and Elzen. Even though the deva could change it in the future, I'd say the lack of Miquote hybrids shows they can't given how slutty they are in comparison to the other races.

Blake Thompson
is that Satan telling me not to try and breed em? Man you really have gotten soft…
But for real you guys are putting too much autism into this. They don't show crossbreeds because that requires another character model which they would have to make. Japs are cool with fucking cats, elves, and dragongirls. Just don't mix the hyur races. I mean do you really think that they would say "you can look but please do not touch the catgirls" I mean THIS IS THE BIRTHPLACE of the fetish, pls rape.
Xavier Taylor
Wait till Viera come in game. Amazonian toned berserker women, tiny shota bunnybois that dont know why they give off pheremones that send femroes into a breeding frenzy.
Liam Powell
expanding on what the other user said, the reason for using syphon strike combos over power slash is that SS gives you mana, and this enables the use of more dark arts, which enables the use of more DA+SE attacks, and ensures you have enough mana for other DA use, like with CnS.
if you;re not going to DA SE, then delirium is the better choice, yes, even over power slash combo. to whit:
total power slash combo potency 150 + 220 + 300 = 670 potency over 3 GCD's
total delirium combo potency 150 + 250 + 280 = 680 potency over 3 GCD's
so just right here, you're getting more OVERALL damage by using delirium combo than by using power slash combo. the net potency for a non-DA souleater combo is 660, only 10 potency less than the power slash combo. but with DA+SE having a potency of 400, you're getting a total potency of 800 over 3 GCD's.
this is the key thing to remember; while PS may have more raw potency-per hit than delirium or normal SE, the net potency gain of that combo is lower due to spinning slash having 30 less potency than syphon strike.
tl;dr you can't just look at the potency of each move individually. you need to look at the potential of each combo as a whole.

I didn't think these boots through, and I'm glad. I'd probably have to take another look at the tones because I was aiming for a good middle ground. That and I prefer the more petite races on the pale side.

when i first saw edda and co. outside sastasha, and everyone was ragging on the healer, i chuckled, because that's what you do in an mmo, you blame the healer.
then in tam-tara things got a bit hairy, and by copperbell shit had hit the fan and not only was one of these background npcs dead, but his fiance was carrying his head in a sack and still being abused ruthlessly by her two remaining group-mates.
and that was fucked up.
but then they came out with TT hard and went all horror movie on us, and that was even more fucked up. the amount of time put into these little details, these background characters im pretty sure everyone dismissed early on, it boggles my mind. i mean, im glad they do it, and the story and resolution is a good one, but shit, yoshi and his team are masters of this stuff. the last time i saw and felt something like this was old school vanilla WoW, and some stuff in early FF11.
why can't all games be like this lads?

I heard of bitching from a few people who still play wow they say XIV is shitty weeb garbage thats dying funny enough about how hard it is to level alts and how its turned into a mini Diablo 3 with the new loot system or some shit. I think I kinda understand why the start to 14 is so fucking slow; its so retards like this get enough time to learn there skills and get a basic idea of there rotation, but with PotD giving so much exp its goes out the window with people not even knowing what there role is because they were too busy bumrushing it for easy levels instead of getting an idea for how there class should play.
Hunter Nguyen
I dropped it pretty fast myself. Trying to get my friend to play ff14 with me so I have someone to play with again.

Joseph Diaz
After the *Hall of the Novice* training, what other resources should I look to in order to learn how to get good at ARC/DPS in general?
Andrew Scott
This changes literally nothing - Nobody knew how to play their classes before or after POTD. When was the last time you saw a ninja properly use their enmity? Fuck, when was the last time you saw a ninja use their enmity tools at all? I can count the amount of times I've seen a Bard actually play a song. This game is full of shitters, and only the most devoted of autists bother to learn anything beyond their 1, 2 3 rotation.
From other players, look online and find various resources that go in depth about the Bard rotation. There's not much in game beyond what you could potentially teach yourself. It's actually my main, so I can throw you a bone if you need it.
Ayden Thompson
I have had a string of really shitty arcanists/summoners lately. They either only apply one dot for the whole fight or use their tanking pet.
Bentley Brown
man i must be lucky to be on levi, because by and large the playerbase there isn't total shit. 3 out of 4 times i hop into a bird farm party, whether its sophia, thordan, nidhogg, ravana, or bismarck, we'll down the boss at least 3-4x without issues before disbanding, with some groups going up for a full 10 or 11 kills before ending, with maybe one wipe the entire time.
Read up on guides and watch openers to get an idea on a general rotation. Everything else comes from experience and optimizing dps and cooldowns on fights and take anything mentors say with a huge grain of salt because 9/10 they are fucking awful.
Never said they didn't exist prior to POTD, there have and always will be shitters (remember full IW DRGs pulling sub 300 dps in 2.5?) helps really does help speeding them along. You could argue that NIN enmity tools are only really handy for shit tanks, tanks pulling big (which is rare for DF) or if the tank dropped midfight but most bards I've will either play mana/tp song when no one needs it wasting there mp and dps or simply pretend songs don't exist with no in between. Casuals love to bitch about how "toxic" hardcore autists are but don't help themselves at all.
Daniel Gutierrez
this is probably the best advice.
most of it comes down to practice and knowing the fight. get your rotation (and in brd's case, your proc usage) down to muscle memory, learn the fights so that you know when you can blow CD's and when you should hold them until the right time, and take the time to really learn your off-classes (pgl and lnc in this case).
it doesn't hurt to put some time as a tank and a healer too for that matter, just so you get a general idea of wtf is going on during the rest of the fight. nothing gives you an appreciation for how much shit a melee and tank deal with vs. most bosses than to do it yourself.

When ARR was new, so new legacy people in blue job sets were gods and nobody had a magitek mount yet new, a couple of french free companies decided "fak zees englis peegs" and decided to buy as much gil from gil spammers as they could and they crashed the marketboard (with no survivors) putting everything on there up again after buying it for 1gil. With character creation locked eventually people decided it wasnt worth putting stuff up and the lack of new players meant the items in the wild dried up.
Eventually people stopped putting it on and they said "none F speakers leave and we stop!" trying to bully the server into going full FR.
The Germans didn't like that. Not one bit. There formed an Alliance of German FC's focused on crafting and gathering. With German efficiency they spent all the time the FR spent using their real world money to fuck the economy leveling crafters and gatherers. This was the start of the relaunch and all the top gatherers and crafters were in these FC's or freinds with them.
Eventually an ultimatum came: Anyone in these FR groups or seen associating with them is now blacklisted from all crafters. Forever. Naturally after a few days the other shoe dropped and the FR realised they had cut themselves off from all melding, materials, gear and materia. They were cut off from raiding, from the Relic Reborn questline and were now effectively roadblocked from all progression. The game didnt have melding npcs, didnt have pvp or raid finder mechanics. They were what we English call "sent off to coventry" and the Amish call "put in the Shun". They were outcasts.
The french FC's disbanded. At great cost the Germans and a few English FC's including my own at the time sorted out the market board to the point things worth 7gil were now worth 2k gil for example. It wasnt a perfect fix for a system thats suffering from undercutters to this day but it solved it.
Back then i was just a babby BLM who stumbled into this when i was looking for a GSM to meld my Relic item and ran into one of the German FC's officers who offered to do it for free but after i insisted on giving him 5k he let me in on where to buy and sell mats as the marketboard was dead at the time.
Now you rarely see FR players in large groups on shiva and its mostly English and German with the odd Italian sasquach once in a blue moon.
But we remember the aftermath of the Calamity and the dickweed FR that tried to ruin things for everyone.
Thats why FR are hated on Shiva i tell the children, fear the french blood. By the gods Lawrence, fear it.

I tried caring about the story, I honestly did, but holy shit some parts of it were just so bullshit and poorly written that I couldn't be fucked following along. So I ran through my missions and looked up wikis later so I could catch up to my friends who needed a healer. And apparently since I stopped playing they nerfed Holy hard. Pic related.

Remember, for a measly 5 gil a day, you too can afford to pay a dedicated free paladin to educate and guide people like these onto the paths of righteousness and party likability. Can't lancers can be saved if we really try to steer them into the right direction? Preferably, the one that's away from the paint?
Logan Diaz
But user, Paladins are now also Dragoon tier. Warrior-Dark master alliance.
Gabriel Sanders
To be fair some of MSQ is a bore to sit though, the titan story-arc I almost ended up skipping over with how bullshity it was. It is retarded of him to skip over it just because theres no VA.
Holy is still one of the better AOEs in the game simply because of the 5 second stun and its huge range. It kinda annoys me how WHMs in DF never use it because muh not a dps when its pretty much a 10 second trash lockdown.
Owen Morris
wait, what? When the fuck did this happen? Yesterday or something? Some unseen patch that I haven't noticed since I haven't gotten on in a few days? I've been a paladin for months and felt fine, tanking wise.
Logan Ortiz
I'm talking reputation. Thanks to Palace of the dead 90% of tanks in max level roullette think its a 3 button job now.
Michael Jones
To this day I hope these fuckers burn.
Mason Cook
First I've heard of it. I've noticed a slight drop in commendations lately but no real sign of disdain towards us spank tanks. I guess the problem hasn't quite reached us over here on Hyperion yet.
Gabriel Garcia
Fucking plebs cant let you win either way.
Camden Butler
Why can't they accept that healers don't just heal?
Lucas Ward
Balmung's large playerbase usually means whenever I hop into a party finders, it's either a team of knowing veterans of mouth-breathing retards. I wish I had that same comfort.
As someone who has experienced all three tanks, Shadewalker at regular intervals gives me the opportunity to step out of tank stance and orient my focus towards damage. Smokescreening a Black Mage ensuring I won't accidentally misjudge the amount of enmity produced by a Fire IV.
Bard songs on the other hand are a point of contention, but you are correct in your assessment that having them on for no reason is detrimental to the Bard's own performance. Again, this comes hand in hand with knowing how to properly apply your skills. In the same way you wouldn't Shdewalker a healer. I'm thankful I've yet to see a tank be smokescreened.
Yet.
I think I've seen this picture posted over five times.
Nathaniel Williams
There needs to be more AST art to post. Fucking WHM getting all the pixiv love.
Jaxson Foster
Yeah, all that White Mage love is really strange.
Especially when pic related is the best healer.

I barely see goad.
Not going to lie, sometimes the camera happens to focus on them and I wonder what it would be like if actual characters had asses like theirs.
Logan Bennett
I don't even get why it is always two, no matter what.
Asher Evans
Its kinda sad when the 2 fairies have better ass game then all player models. 1.0 tier asses when
Nathan Parker
you already know.
It'd be fucking amazing. The Padjali have better asses than the PCs. Go look up their skirts.
Hunter Torres
Well the only people left to commend DPS people are DPS people. They don't really stand out like healers or tanks do.
Henry King

i hope stormblood gives us our manderville squatting emote finally. You can't hold out on us forever, yoshi.
Joseph Price
I've actually gotten three comms several times as a monk. Not sure what I did but think some ASTs give one to me because they bully me with arrows.
First thing I'm doing next time I'm on.
Lucas Nguyen
I have yet to die or ran into a healer who does not do their job.

Were they dead?

Jacob Morales

I wasn't aware about the pleb tastes in this thread.
Jackson Richardson
I like both, I just want more options for asses in this game, that's all. I always max out the bust slider and make sure that whatever I glam into doesn't nerf it too much. Fuck the company tabard and gryphonskin bra thing.
Colton Kelly
fuggin ps3 limitation i swear to god. is it too much to ask that i want my ass-n-titty monster from BnS to be possible in FF14?

giggle mechanics when yoshi-p?
Jaxon Price
A woman with big tits and no hips or ass is like an ice cream sundae without a bowl. Is that what you want? You want to eat your ice cream out of your hands like an animal while it melts and trickles down your fucking arms? That shit's going to get on your clothes and attract ants, what's wrong with you?
That said there are a lot of people who use "thicc" to mean "disgusting hyper proportions and fat fetishism".
Colton Jenkins
Come on user, you could have said it was like deciding on a subpar frame or an celebrate one that showcases the picture. Besides, only liking thick asses and hips are nigger tier in my eyes.
Dominic Perez
...
Mason Jones
irish confirmed.
Thomas Robinson
I'm sorry, but niggers tend to put fat asses and hips on a pedestal. You can call me Irish until your fingers turn numb but you can't refute this. Liking fat asses and hips exclusively is nigger tier tastes.
Anthony Cruz
Paddy as fuck.
Anthony Powell
Not an argument. :^)
Juan Bennett
That's a terrible analogy, user. Nobody eats picture frames in the first place, and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't need a bowl if you did.
Brody Morales
How do you argue with a potato nigger?
Aaron Moore
The point is that you can paint a beautiful picture but a shitty frame will detract from it. Conversely if you were to put it in a frame that looks very nice and goes with the picture it will make the picture look even better by association. It's just like having a shapely ass and hips with a nice set of tits. The tits complement the ass and hips and vise versa. Come on, this is basic shit.
For starters you bring some actual arguments. :^)
Luis Morales
nope, full health. possibly braindead though

Kan-E is worst GC leader. She also ran away with her tail between her legs at Ul'Dah. I'd rather side with potato and Brobahn.
Thomas Brooks
part of me thinks the elementals may as well be controlled opposition tbh.
**still, the idea of a Legatus throwing her to his men for a bit of fun and entertainment is intriguing.

Dylan Moore
My Tranny Warrior is complete. Thank you, you fine faggots.
Luke Hall
Holy shit, is that why I've been getting more commendations lately?
My only level 60 is a PLD and I like to think I play above average and I try to accommodate the party as much as possible, but I have been getting a lot more appreciation recently.
Zachary Williams

PLD here, I've been getting a shitton of commendations too, sometimes 3/3. Palace of the Dead really causes people to become scrubs.

SLANDER. NOTHING MORE THAN HEINOUS SLANDER. THE GREAT JANDELAINE WORKS ALONE, NO OTHER CREATURE CAN MATCH HIS FABULOUSNESS.

Is there nothing left to do besides doing savage at this point?
Brandon Thompson
didnt mean to quote
Jayden Butler
mostly, yeah.
tails too. gear up alts, or start on a new anima weapon maybe. farm glamours you want. make sure mnk is at 60 for when stormblood drops if you dont have it up already.
bully potatos and c@'s
or do what i do and just throw yourself into mentor Q as a tank and help out the noobs.
Landon Reed
Forget what I said last time, DD was indeed a mistake.
Brody Baker
is it just that non-primal server groups suck?
Sebastian Flores
I do have a habit of somehow running with retards in damn near every situation I'm in. Just got in a crystal group that disbanded without a word after five minutes when they fucked off to Quarrymill. Is it too much to ask for a consistent group that actually bullshits and talks a bit?
Daniel Foster
What skirt is that?
William James
there are a lot of -kilt type bottoms in HW content. i can think off hand of the sharlayan custodians skirt for tanks in gubal normal, then there's the void ark one too. but the gubal library one is red, so that may be it.
Kayden Lee
Expedition bishop you are my greatest ally.

GOD DAM IT CRAFTING IS PISSING ME OFF.
I just recently tried my hand at lvl 60 crafting for scrips. I need to get shit collectible for red scrips but EVERYTHING fucking fails. I can't make HQ anything which means I start at 0 collectablily so I always come short of the mark. The on top of that I can't even buy the gear with blue scrips because I need a counterfoil which is the exact same problem. every guide fucking says "HURR DURR use all these amazing cross class skills" which I don't have, so how the fuck am I supposed to craft this shit without getting every crafter to at least 50? FUCK THIS RETARDED ASS SHIT NIGGER FUCK FAGGOT
Julian Lee
You know moogle dailies get you 1 60 crafter every 5 days?
Juan Morales
explain yourself right this minute
Kevin Martin
You arent doing the moogle dailies on alt jobs, are you?
Dominic Long
Nigga explain this to me like I'm a retard, wtf you talking about.
Liam Howard
You know there has been a quest hub by zenith for like 3 patches that give crafters like 50k xp per quest right?
Luke Edwards
If your talking about the Mog Daily quests, they only give 10k? That what you talking about?
Benjamin Stewart
As you rank up your xp gain increases. At Bloodsworn 3 quests get you a level.
Austin Baker
well that's a good start
Still pretty retarded I need to level all the crafting classes to have a chance of crafting red scripts or my counterfoils
Hudson Kelly
Dude you suffer like G did or you get them all to 60 in just over a week and then make one macro to make the best shit in the game.
pro tip: farm DD for rank V materia and shit to sell, buy HQ ironworks crafter gear and bam. You have become the happy merchant.
Jose Stewart
I'm thinking of picking this up. I know it's been out a while, so the only thing holding me back is how far ahead everyone is by now. Is leveling fast, and/or are there good catch-up mechanics in place? My friend told me the story and quests are well-integrated, so I'm concerned it's going to take a long time to catch up.
Evan James
It's so easy to catch up, that it's actually one of the reasons so many people are bad at this game.
Ian Sullivan
What's up with the vuvuzelas on the character creation screen
Christopher Howard
you wot m8?
it's been so long since ive even seen that screen that i have no idea what you're talking about
