Oh yeah, forgot the actual game releases soon haha. I need to get me some levels. Did we decide on Diabolos? Ultros? Is Crushinator a robot, cyborg or an android? SO MANY QUESTIONS.
Imma make a character when I get off work tonight. Who's still down to play this? -------------------- |

Image dump ahoy!
Just thought this one looked cool. Messing around in the inn room. The last hour or so found me doing a bit of sightseeing. Mor Dhona is a place full of metal with robots and soldiers that want to kill you! Snowy place Coerthas! Warming up by the fire. Apparently the gate to Ishgard. LET ME IN GODSDAMMIT! Perhaps I shouldn't say that since it IS said to be the holy city. Nothing more to see here. Time to GTFO! A parting shot. -------------------- "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid.

So during this last Beta period, I got a little carried away and leveled 4 different jobs to 20, included which are two crafts. I have a little bit of know how now, so I'm gonna put up some pro tips!
First and foremost. The link below is a benchmark and character creation combo. You can see how well your machine can handle the game, but more importantly? Make your dude now so that when the game drops, you can load up the saved character info and get to the fighting faster. http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/benchmark/en...load/index.html Onto the bullet points. -Do the main quest line. It unlocks a lot of capabilities for your character including dungeon finder, hunting log, guild leves, and other important shit. Most of this gets unlocked around level 10 provided you complete story quests. -Your server will be full. A lot. Don't get too discouraged. With enough persistence and fast clicking, you can almost always get through the mess of people in under 5 minutes. -If you see a FATE? Do it. With very little effort, you can get a nice chunk of experience points. Plus, most of them are pretty fun. -What is a FATE? It's an active world event that shows up on your map as a blue circle. Basically it's an impromptu area quest. -Kill everything. You can get quest credit for already claimed kills provided you contribute to the kill adequately, so no more waiting on one quest forever because the area is loaded with people. -Dungeon parties run on parties of 4. Tank, Healer, and two DPS. If you choose to be a DPS, you will wait for a very long time to get into that dungeon finder. Not so much for Tank or DPS. -Much like in XI, there is a benefit to leveling other classes. You can take abilities from other jobs to use for your current job. You just need to be using something within the same hand. (Hand of magic, Hand of war etc.) -Crafting and Guild leves. Crafting is unique and fun under certain crafts, but it takes a while. Save some of your leves for when you want to craft, because the extra exp from the quest rewards is IMMENSELY helpful. Also, turning in HQ versions of the requested items grants you a triple exp reward from the quest. -What are Guild Leves? Basically just accumulated numbers that let you do (or repeat) dailies. You get 3 allowances every twelve hours, and they accumulate up to 100. I'll come back with more, but this is a good start for now. Don't need to get TOO crazy. |

Another note on FATEs - they'll give you seals which you can use to rank up and purchase gear from a city's grand company.
Hopefully you guys held onto your leve allowances from P4 since that's also a great way to get seals. -------------------- "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid.

I am excited. Though I still do not care for the first 3-6 hours in the starting zones, except Ul'Dah (Is it just the how the city and starting areas are laid out or what?). Might have to find a min-max leveling guide for Arcanist or something because Limsa Lominsa feels just as bad as v1.0 beta to me.
How they are handling preorder and early access is a bit silly. Code for a code, really? -------------------- |

Yeah, really. Their site's been pretty messed up and NA people have complained about getting EU codes and not being able to register them.
