>fc's to avoid
That's dumb. You avoid shitty people, an fc is a group that will always have good and bad people. So avoiding an entire fc ends up limiting only yourself in the longrun.

>Is the game actually difficult?
You will probably hit some bumps at first but as long as you focus on trying to understand how things work, everything falls into place nicely.

Most of the time the game is difficult is because it's *very* group oriented and people being stupid makes it difficult for the group.

Cross class is pretty simple once you get in game and can actually look at it. Check the wiki entry for the job you want to play to see what skills can and can not be cross classed for it. As for handouts, this game does not. Make sure you do hall of the novice before the first dungeon because it passes you some decent gear, but after that nothing is just handed to you for free.

As for game difficulty, its like the other guy mentioned, most things aren't particularly hard but are made difficult by braindead players. There's tougher content later in, of course.

>>165267675
There are nice people in DRAKN there are nice people in Soft. You should judge people based on their own merit, not what FC they are in or what some anon here says.

To play, or to have in my party? I really can't stand playing Monk at all, it's the only class I haven't leveled.

If we're talking about in our parties though, I really can't deal with Bards. Good bards are amazing and I love them but Bard just seems to attract the most awful terrible players in the game, doing shit for DPS while not playing Foe at all, or when I'm a healer and I go below half mana because I literally can't stop casting Malefic, they just immediately Mage Ballad. I know they probably think they are being helpful so I just grit my teeth and deal with it but maaaan give me Foe . . .

>>165268472

>>165268897
Dps and tanks have to eat a puddle that does increasing damage.
First that did it have to stack with healers for spread damage aoe, followed by raidwide damage aoe from giant Alex. After that tank get demolished with new tankbuster, and it repeats, just that all dps have the red laser from NM attached and drop puddles that instakill you, while Alex does a Sacrament.
Also Alex Prime will use Mega Holy after the giant Alex AoE.

Also if a puddle goes off because not absorbed by the group in time, it will give healing and damage down to the party.

>>165268374
>>165268897
By 2nd add phase I assume you mean timegates.

1st inception is easy.
2nd inception is pretty much just a matter of having crystals placed correctly, and then going the right way. Some groups have trouble with that after months of having cleared.
Final phase just requires all your DPS to be on the same page and not put communion puddles in safe zones.

The thing you're most likely to mess up at first is someone missing a puddle, which makes things harder for your healers but you can recover. On the other hand, if someone dies, things will get a lot harder (potentially fatal if it's a melee dps) I STRONGLY recommend you focus on getting the mechanics right before going batshit insane on DPS. You have quite a bit of time to kill the boss assuming you do mechanics consistently, and when you have them down you can go for more DPS and kill it in less mechanic repeats.

>>165268425

>>165269353
I would guess ffxiv is less grindy, although if you want a soul-draining grind here they are available. This is a traditional theme-park mmo, with caps on everything. Weekly caps on gear currency, loot lockouts for the casual and harder raids, caps on crafting/gathering tokens, everything. You can grind to your hearts content, but after a certain point you'll just be grinding optional stuff- gear for alts, crafting tokens for mats to make expensive consumables, that sort of thing. If you focus on keeping your main job/role geared and don't do high level crafting or gathering you hit a plateau pretty quickly and will often run out of shit to do after you get your weekly clears of the raid. I don't mean that you'll be completely bored and there's nothing to do in the game, but your list of weekly "chores" will get done really fast.

>>165269817
I just use Priestly Omelettes for the crit and bonus health.

>>165269906
For tanks, STR melds on right side are going to give you the most stat value versus melding secondaries. You're probably thinking of pre-3.2 when tanks were running all Slaying accessories because the extra health didn't matter if you knew what you were doing and you did more DPS.

The damage that goes out during this part is pretty easy to deal with, although I am just in an average group that didn't clear very quickly or anything. It was probably harder with everyone in 250 stuff.

What's more annoying is getting puddles dropped on you by greedy or stupid DPS or having the tank position the boss incorrectly and not giving you any room to move around when the sacrament goes off.

Most groups do NNE/ESE/SSW/WSW. Each crystal needs to cover two different dots (which mark the locations where alexander spawns during inception).

Few questions from a noob

1) if I'm going for a black mage and I'm only level 25 (15 archer) should I just only stick with gear that I get from quest or should I go buy stuck from the shops/market board

2) I see that the MSQ levels you to 50 basically, how true is that? I was doing all the sides for the first 22 levels then read it doesn't even matter, should I do them or will I get to 50 just off the MSQ?

3) is there any crafting that I should do at the same time with my class?

4) anything else you can recommend to someone in my spot ?

Do NOT fall for the 51-60 meme, I found it 2x better to just keep repeating 51-100. It's really not so bad, you'll probably go 35-40 from that run too.

If you get msq level locked do potd instead of sidequests, miles faster
Crafting is all done on disciple of the hand classes
POTD. Level 17+, you can do it after you beat the quest with Copperbell mines. Npc with the quest for it is in Gridania adventurer's guild.

>>165271482
>1
Stick with what you get from the quests, you most likely won't need better gear unless you want to branch off and do some side stuff for fun.
>2
Unless you want to do some side quests for fun or loot (items/money/unlockables) stick with the MSQ until you eventually need to level up to do the next one (doesn't happen that often in ARR).

Nah hes right. The summons take a back seat to the DoTs. The summons are weak, silly, and dont really make you feel like they embody the primal at all. Summoner is basically WoW's warlock right now.

Actually, glamouring egis is a better outcome than simply receiving more egis to ignore in favor of the One That's Worth Using.

The chances of us getting something like Ravana-egi were basically 0. You know they would have just done the 'main six' and maybe eventually Bahamut or Odin. With it just be glamour? Now we can get any primal they want and use whichever ones we the player like most.

>>165272235
you misunderstand. egi glamours aren't a departure from the concept of egis. we aren't going to suddenly get hideous pigmy versions of garuda, titan and ifrit, it's always going to be egis.

>>165272238
Whether or not it's close or faithful to what people want the Summoner to be is different from whether or not the job functions.

Why do people keep implying a summoner in the traditional sense would be impossible? Not every class in an MMO has to be action packed pressing a button on cooldown every GCD. Summoner could have worked in bursts with just minor filler in between.

>>165272142
It took me over a year to stop feeling like an idiot while playing XIV. It's been 3 years now and I still find out new things. This game has a bunch of stuff that will make you feel like you have 0 understanding until you experience it.
I could just be dumb/slow though. I like taking things at my own pace.

It depends on how much accuracy you have. If you're over the cap I think you've got a lot of options. If you're under obviously you need to use food that gives you enough accuracy to hit stuff. I think the DRK in my group is quite a bit under acc cap so he has to use shit like grilled sweetfish (cheap) or urchin loaf (expensive). If you're over, or really close to cap you might try baked pipira pira (cheap), priestly omelette (very expensive), or loaghtan steak (expensive).

>>165273538
To note: Nowhere am I implying some guy is going to walk around with a full sized Ifrit, Shiva, etc following them around for any amount of time like in XI. Summons should be incredibly short. They appear either on the field or above the field in an ethereal sense, cast their ability, and then dissipate. You may say "Gee anon thats boring not casting damaging spells every second of your life" but honestly there is demand for a job that is focused entirely around tremendous bursts and then spending the other 80% building up to it.

yeah honestly I've gotta say I don't like that at all

kind of ignores the very real fact that almost every summoner in final fantasy history has been about more than just their summon command

in addition you sort of dumbed them down a whole lot just to have "b-buh i want to use DA REEL bahamoot mega flare!!!"

no fucking thanks, egis look cooler than the primals themselves and them being a backseat is much preferred to this silliness

Tbh I agree
I like the stylized, minimalist aspect of egi.
Makes you appreciate the primals proper more and it's both easy to nice the egi, while at the same time they don't stick out like a sore thumb, and obstruct your view.

>>165274658
Felix is pure. Or so that's what they tell me.

Nigger. Have you seen their AI?

Scrap the pet entirely.

Scrap the dots also, give them back to sch


You get spells such as fire nail, wind vortex, and goel (cc) all element based from obvious summons. Chain lighting aoe. Waterbomb knockback slow. Ect

Each spell cast gives you an aerher charge. You can spend charges on aetherflow, bahamut/Odin based spells (unaspected elements) or expel all charges over 10 to summon an actual summon that does their special and leaves. Ifrit does a straight line charge to a spot and fire explodes. Garuda sucks mobs in and vortex. Titan earth busters, levi knock back tidal wave. Ramuh stun lighting. Revana light aoe and damage/speed up. Shiva stun shatter. Fuck we'll add carbuncle in as a damage absorb shield

Summon would be a long 3+ second cast and does as much damage as current deathflare

Smn limit break is r1: chocomog r2: Odin slash r3: bahamut flare

Ysayle is damaging the planet when she becomes Shiva just as much as any other Primal Summoning does. Not sure where you got the idea that hers was different.

>>165275704
I like to think RDM-BRD-SMN-BLM could be a viable composition going forward, but who can say.

>>165275696
You're right, I never got the chance to actually ask you to EB because my other points still stand.

my god that lizard is so ugly

>>165275204
I should hope so. A real pure person wouldn't dare hold hands the apex degenerate activity until well after they've been eb'd and bred.

>>165275704
melee are the lowest DPS class in raid

it's because BLMs/SMNs have 0 raid utility, while DRG/NIN/BRD/MCH all boost each other to hell

I don't expect them to nerf everyone's utility. I expect them to give more utility to more jobs and have shared cooldowns among them so you can't stack them anymore. Kinda like what they did with Bloodlust in WoW

>>165276616
If only you had come on an hour ago, I could have dragged you along when my FC leader decided to drag me along

>>165275980
I would be perfectly fine with that. Balance will probably get knocked back down to 10% too.

>>165276639
You typically want a Summoner or Scholar for this (or I do it with one) but you basically have one person help get the other current(s?) for flying. The one who flies helps out the other person get flying, and you gather 'til time runs out.

Not as stupid I love you, Shirou...

gather what? do you turn in gathered materials for brass spoils?

>>165277267
hi

>>165276441
you know what you must do, infiltrate, gathering information, find something that they are insecure about, strike them with it, hammer it in while still searching for more info, keep hitting them, keep harrasing them under the guise of anon, keep pounding even when they dont post as they are still watching, keep doing it till they dissapear and everyone sees them in a bad light.
