A thread reborn! Always look at normal quests from their questgiver NPC. As you are climbing the MSQ, new areas will have gear for that level range through a combination of MSQ rewards and normal quests in new areas. HQ gear rewards also sell pretty well on the market board. A few have emotes as rewards. If the normal quest has an image banner in it (postmoogle for one) then it is the first in questline. These tend to have cute stories and build on the world. The reward is the side quest and I recommend most of them.

sassassin posted:I basically disagree with all this unless you're trying to burn through the game to level cap as fast as possible (I did this and don't recommend it). Sidequests are story and lore. There's loads of fun content in the game that will be missed if you're focused on MSQ progress. Leves are mildly useful as a new/free trial player for gear and materials - they're quick (timed "kill as many as you can" one excepted) and offer a bit of variety. The most immersive experience, from a normal JRPG perspective, is clearing out every single quest when you enter a new area. It is most in-charater for your adventurer protagonist. I've heard a couple people here playing it like that and more power to them. The ring is really nice but otherwise agreed on Hall of Novice.

Schwartzcough posted:PRO TIP: White Mages get HOLY at level 45, which is an AoE attack that STUNS all enemies. If you have a WHM healer, maybe DON'T pop mitigation right away, because if your healer spams holy then enemies will barely get any attacks off until a good ways into the fight when they eventually become immune to stun. My WHM tip - feel free to use swiftcast -> Holy on big trash pulls. You might intuitively want to save it in case the tank drops, but that's less likely to happen if you get right on the AoE stuns. WHM puts out some pretty good damage too. The more+sooner you help kill stuff, the less damage you will need to heal.

You can also save yourself the minutes and menus and just not interface with those systems at all. But it's free stats so might as well.

I wish that every time an NPC was like, "remember me? You brought me a beer two expansions ago" our character would wince and we'd get a single-screenshot flashback.

I was lucky enough that someone said 'dont kill the eggs' my first run and I pass it on. You have to trigger it for a Blu spell which is pretty fun.

Using magic ranged dps limit break on a big trash pull is immensely satisfying and gets a comm almost every time.

LuckyCat posted:Christ I forgot how horrible the install and log in experience is. I googled FFXIV download and it took 75 minutes to download and install. Then, I get an error message which crashes when I hit Play. The error message is in Japanese. I google "FFXIV japanese error message" and find some instructions that might fix it. I do the fix, and now the launcher says I am not allowed to use a Standard subscription account with the free trial version. So, I google "FFXIV launcher" and find the one not for free trial. I click install, and it says "Are you sure you want to Uninstall FFXIV?" so now I have to spend another 2 hours downloading the exact same game because reasons. You might have better luck with the third party launcher XIV Launcher. https://laillearda.com/xivlauncher

If I'm tanking in a Trial or Raid, hit half health, and don't have access to Living Dead or whatever 'oh poo poo' button, is it ok to shirk to the other tank? Do they then become the main tank for the run until they shirk back?

Running into the orange and dropping at 70 makes me think the player was either drunk or trying a new healer class they didn't get for the first time. I just assume most players running normal content are drunk and stoned.

On Omega there are like 12 identical Lalas under the map at Limsa or Gridania following each other across the void one ilm at a time.

Bloody Pom posted:Do they have keysmash names? Because those are RMT bots. I can only see them with the idle camera, so I'm not sure I can target them to see. They're clearly bots based on the movement, but they're not doing anything other than inching along. Maybe they eventually shout RMT spam, but I don't see that and them at the same time. And they wouldn't need to be under the map, numerous, and dressed identically for that. Reddit thinks they're farming gil. I don't see how that is making them gil. Maybe they're at the end of a farming loop and waiting for the seller to collect? It's silly and seems so easy to get banned over. But they've been at it for like a year. And it's always Lalas.

We had a bunch of these in Dynamis one day and they were probably farming the free 1 mil gil new characters get if they get to level 30 when made on a preferred or new world. I don't know if it's preferred. Wouldn't they be out in the world doing the MSQ then? Why gather under the hottest spots in game instead of like Coerthas?

Watch that then practice on your Chocobo and some mobs of the same level. I'm in the same position as you, just about to cap my WHM main. I tried Sage and it's kind of a lot to take in at once. I watched that video, practiced and then ran one dungeon. No one died, but the mentor had so many helpful tips for me that I got overwhelmed. Put the class down and resolved to rewatch the video, which hasn't happened yet. The biggest adjustment personally is nothing like Benediction.

Dareon posted:Still mad the game itself spoiled me with a random Triple Triad open tournament. Triple Triad is pretty heavy with the light spoilers. There are some with characters wearing outfits from future expansions, so a lot of of "Scion Friend (Shadowbringers)". The story often has characters fake-dieing, so when you see that you know death won't stick until at least that expansion.

Off-tank is the chilliest, safest role in the party. I'm always happy to let the other guy be the hero. I like to put The Blackest Night shield on the main tank, healer when they get low, people who get a stack marker, or that DPS who keeps almost dieing. If I put it on myself asap it doesn't always get used up.

Sometimes I'll see like a stream or waterfall, wonder what I'll catch, and just do a few casts. For no real reason other than to see the icons, names, and descriptions. It's just a cool chill tiny distraction from whatever I'm on the way to. Bait and lures are maybe 1/4 of my Chocobo saddlebag. No real interest in the deeper mechanics, fishing dungeon, fishing cruise. I did try a few runs of Ocean Fishing and it was cool, just not my thing. It feels like I tried it three times and went from 50 to 90. It's really good fishing XP. Like other parts of the game you can engage with fishing just a tiny bit or get real into it, whichever is most fun for you.

Flytitle posted:Also Frontline should be noted for being a free level under 50 for the roulette daily and that you can swap when you're inside so you can play a class you want to play. I definitely used this fact when I was trying to bring everything into level parity. This is really good daily XP and increases your PvP series rank, which gets you an emote not too far in. YMMV though on if Frontlines is any fun.

Tank looks like a lot of risk, responsibility, and careful work if you've never played it. All you do is press your buttons near baddies, receive heals, and you're invincible most of the time. Hard to see that until you drive a couple dungeons yourself, then it's pretty obvious. Heran Bago fucked around with this message at 12:59 on Jul 2, 2023 |

Bruceski posted:One or two GCDs is fine, whatever you personally feel comfortable with It's this. Go for three if you want. It's hard to gently caress it up. Don't think about optimally pulling your first several runs. There is a lot of discussion to be had about optimally pulling, but as a New Player Tankxiety Survivor, get into it later if you like the feeling of driving the dungeon.
