FFXIV: A Realm Reborn

The best argument for just levelling cnj first is how janky switching gear is. The game should just remember what you previously had on when you swap.

[Iecerint]

Yeah, it would be simpler if it automatically managed all of your gear sets for each class.

But it's pretty trivial to press the "update gearset" key whenever you change equipment. It's triangle on the PS3 controller; dunno about PC.

[Iecerint]

Hey, it sounds like there will be free server transfers, but that the free server transfers will last only 5 days.

If people like dram/drambf/AP's kevin want to join us, it may be actionable without spending a gillion dollars.

[AngryPidgeon]

AP's Kevin, lmao.

I guess it is, but its so funny. SE came so close to getting this great implementation correct but decided to just not quite get it right : P

When are free transfers?

[PrideandJoy]

on Qarn, titan was a bitch.

[tanstalas]

How many AKs until I can get my AF2?

Considering only 40 per AK, and gear costs at least like 495, I think? and caps at 300 per week...

A lot...

Frick, how am I supposed to justify levelling carpentry if the guild isnt switching to crafting bonuses until 13 days from now.

Guess I'll just hoard all my mats until then.

Really Crafting bonuses should be like a weekly thing for a day. So you can log on, dump all your mats on crafting, etc. Then go back to smashing things.

Tans are you on Gilga? Whats your name? Nalem Romandi here.

Tanstalas Asura

Up to 43 CUL

Also just got my relic weapon tonight yay

[ActionDan]

got black mage hooray! Now I won't have to level up anything else before I reach 50.

[Iecerint]

I have my Ifrit weapon, all Darklight accessories, and all AK main pieces, so I'm going to try to do Garuda HM in the next few days if possible. I'm also trying to get my CNJ up so that I can party with Dan, though he'll probably hit 50 before I can catch him.

Tans, is it the SMN relic book, or the SCH relic book?

Not sure about the dates on the free transfers. There's a thread on the FC message board.

[Iecerint]

I guess it is, but its so funny. SE came so close to getting this great implementation correct but decided to just not quite get it right : P

My guess is that eventually people may want different gear sets for different things within the same class/job, so that may be the reason for what they did. But there are definitely better ways to handle it.

I hope they improve it before 2.1, which isn't expected until late November or December.

[Iecerint]

got black mage hooray! Now I won't have to level up anything else before I reach 50.

Congrats

You may want to level the certain classes for your cross-class abilities, but I think the main things Arcanist gives a BLM are Physick and maybe Virus. I don't know as much Archer (I think that's the other one?), but Raging Strikes is pretty handy.

I actually got WHM yesterday.

[AngryPidgeon]

What do you need to get white mage?

[Iecerint]

1. CNJ gives a unique mount at 30, so I want it anyway. Already got that, though, as of this morning.

2. CNJ gives Stoneskin at 34, which is needed for SCH, so I need to get WHM/CNJ to 34 at the very least. I already feel kinda gimp for not having it for groups. I'm 31 right now IIRC. But I do have Swiftcast, which is absolutely non-optional.

3. WHM will be able to use some of my Darklight equipment, anyway, so I may as well get it up.

[Iecerint]

What do you need to get white mage?

Oh, I misread that.

You need to complete the conjurer and arcanist class quests through 30 and 15, respectively. You can unlock arcanist in Limsa. After that, the unlock quest is in the conjurer's guild.

WHM can equip abilities from arcanist and thaumaturge, so you will want to unlock both of those classes at the very least. Arcanist gets Eye for an Eye in the 30s; Thaumaturge gets Swiftcast at 26.

[dramonic]

conjurer 30 arcanist 15 methink?

EDIT: yeah that.

[Iecerint]

AP, you may want to unlock arcanist while you're in Limsa and level it to get Virus. It's acquired at pretty low levels IIRC and is a decent debuff that can help out a bit on bosses. The plot will take you to Ul'dah before long, where you can get thaumaturge unlocked.

[AngryPidgeon]

I have Arcanist at 6 or 7 I think.

[Iecerint]

yay

[Iecerint]

Tans, you should put links to everyone in the OP.

[Iecerint]

You can find information about the world transfer system here. Ctrl+f "free" to find the "5 day" business.

Looks like dates are not announced yet. Buzz is "mid October."

[tanstalas]

Tans, you should put links to everyone in the OP. :p

haha, I was just thinking that when I saw Dram not sure of what levels he was then I saw this post lol

Yeah, SMN relic weapon.

As far as DL, I have only 2 pieces, cuz I bought 9 potash, then found out I cant craft the vanya thread cuz my craftmaship is too low... fucking hell... and one AF2 piece, rest is "mostly" AK stuff, aside from 1 piece

[tanstalas]

If you want your character in OP post in here and I shall add you

[Iecerint]

Dan is Mori Bito, on Gilgamesh.

JDodge and Sajin are playing, but I think not on Gilgamesh.

I wish MsMarangal hadn't disappeared. D:

[dramonic]

akzeh ri'uth, on fairy

48 brd, 45 bot, 38 crp would be my higher level in each... tree? thing.
Whatever you wanna call it.

I am most probably gonna hit 50 botanist before I hit 50 bard.
Lol

[ActionDan]

grumble grumble. random 9k errors today + a dumb launcher error now -2146697211 whatever that possibly could be.

[AngryPidgeon]

Tans, I added you. Also it'd be convenient if you had people's character names listed on the front page and clicking the name sends you to the link you have there.
