So I know some people couldn't get on at first, some moved to be with friends, and some have just gotten the game,
I know there are more of you out there!
Got a bunch done tonight. Ran through story mode Garuda with the FC with 2 healers! We both needed it, lol. Its amazing what a good group can do. I am also loving this story, it keeps getting better and better. I think I am just about finished it now as it feels like its coming up to the big bang, and the quests are lvl 49 now, so there really cant be much left.
Tomorrow I take down the Empire! (I think)
Gonna take a break from FF and play some GTA5 for the next few days. Amen
I'm trying to figure out how the hell anyone can max out any crafting skill in less than 2 months of solid playtime (no work, no sleep, no other life).
I tried Weaving, since I'm a cloth wearer... by the time I'm done making spools to make cloth to make items and back around again, I've lost hours and hours of time.... and this is with being able to buy the mats I need right off the guild merchant. Once I'm forced to start gathering on my own, it's only going to get worse as a time sink that I can see. I got to level 10 and was about ready to kill someone when I realized I'd blown more time than it would have taken me to start and alt and level to 30 on Fates.
I just dont see how anyone can A) enjoy this or B) make money at it, unless I'm missing something blatantly obvious that you can direct me to? Its so tedious to level and it seems like no one buys anything you make since quests give much better items for rewards. Are there items at max crafting skill that make the tedious road to the top worth it that people do pay big money for?
Going in for more laser work on my eyes tomorrow to stem off the blindness a bit longer, and once I'm back home for the day off from work, I'd love to do something simple like crafting since I wont be able to see well enough to fight, but at the moment, I dread even trying.
Tradecraft leves my friend. They give very good exp to begin with, but if you turn in an HQ version of the item, the exp/gil rewards TRIPLE. I got 5 levels of Alchemy (16-21) in about 10 minutes by turning in HQ Potions for a leve in Horizon.
In short, no. That's the biggest complaint a lot of folks have with this game. What people do instead is create high-level armor, wear it until it hits 100%, and then convert it. Level 50 crafters make a lot of their money off melds. You can also HQ level 50 armor, which makes it on par with the Darklight gear. The downside is that if you DON'T HQ it, you have an essentially worthless item. Oh yeah, and your ingredients for the item require the same tomestones that the darklight gear requires.Are there items at max crafting skill that make the tedious road to the top worth it that people do pay big money for?
And how do you get HQ items to turn in? You'd have to buy them I assume since even at 10 I cant make a HQ anything yet.
I've barely spent a coin other than on Weaving mats from the guild merchant and I've only got about 12k to my name at 31 which is peanuts compared to what I see others around my level with... like 1-2 million Gil....
I guess I'll try to find something else to do other than crafting then, since it doesnt really appear to be worth it for me just now.
Guess I can just run around and Fate grind to 50 then go back and do... something....
yeah, its not bad to do on your spare time. ill be making a ton of money when my GSM is @ 50 just doing melds and selling trinkets here and there
Would you mind sharing what you farm? I'm working on leveling up my mining right now. I get about 4 stacks of whatever I'm mining per level (at 22). I just don't know what to mine! How do you figure out how quickly stacks of items sell for? Just put 'em up yourself? Do you sell a full stack of 99 or break it down into several stacks of, I don't know... 5? It's easy enough to hop on the AH and see that Widget Ore sells for 9999 gil a stack, but if only one stack is bought a month, it's not the most efficient thing to mine.Im sitting at 900k gil atm just from farming.
Im sitting at 900k gil atm just from farming. Im currently 45min/43bot and 35 weaving and most other crafting jobs are in the 20's.
My highest battle class is a 28 CNJ
I dont know why but Im completely addicted to crafting/gathering in this game.
To the guy that says making the cloth takes hours...After you succesfully make ONE you can do quick synthesis for as many as you want. I can usually get 1-2 levels just from coverting all my stuff to thread/cloth at each new level.

quick synth cuts your exp to 1/3 i think
just research your markets, check what ores or reagents are selling and for how much and then search xivdb for locations, then decide which you will farm, it all depends on the server economy and what players are going through in terms of crafts
i also normally split my stuff in 10s if im gonna put it on the ah
I believe it's actually ½ of the exp of a normal synth at the base quality of zero. You also get the same base 1% HQ chance as well. Seeing as you can click a couple buttons/keys and get normal EXP with those same conditions, quick synthesis is never really worth it unless you have a truckton of items to synth and want to synth them up while you're sleeping.
Well I only use quick synth for crafting the bazillion cloth/thread I need. Its really not a viable option for "doing while you sleep" unless you set up some sort of AHK script. The max you can quick synth at any time is 99 and that takes all of 10 minutes.
goldsmithing is level 45, sooo close.
i guess there is no maintenance. i was gonna buy gta 5 if there was
Buy it anyway it's an amazing game and worth playing asap

Anyone else having issues with the Client when trying to log in? I start up the Client and it brings up the Login window/screen - but there is no spot for username/password/1 time pass/code.....but everything else is there.
I just finished the main storyline and holy hell was it good. I gotta rewatch a few of the last cuts scenes cause one of the groups I was in was a bit pushy, but they knew what they were doing.
I'm in the process of unlocking the Hard mode primals. Do you have to do them in order? Since it seems like a continuation of the main story I would think so but I'm not sure.
Can't wait for more action.
You have to do the primals in order. Ifirit -> Garuda -> Titan.
You can kill Ifirit with no problem as a fresh 50. Garuda you'll likely need mostly gear out of AK, and Titan you're going to want a decent amount of Darklight stuff.
I had that issue. Solved it by adjusting the Internet Explorer settings, of all things. (I think it's because I was using Server 2012 as my OS, though. May not apply to you.)Anyone else having issues with the Client when trying to log in?

I got my relic weapon, only need one more AK run to be capped on myth badges and I bought my AF2 chest. yeah i know +1 relic weapon is better. but i was tired of looking lame. yes thats how i make decisions sometimes

Yay, Moogle got selected!
Nice!!
This game is near unplayable on my laptop , it basically overheats after 15 minutes and my wireless loses connection. My computer wont come in until monday so I'm stuck playing the crafting game until then. I apparently maxed my leve allowances too, so I'm fighting just to keep using the leves.....
