Greatest Accomplishment - Unsubscribed. I'll pick the game up at a later date. For now I'm done with it.

I'm so glad you came back to these forums to tell us this.

That game does sound epic. I'll be checking it out i think.

Half of my guildies from WoW are going to play ESO ... while only a couple are currently playing FF14. The rest are either on Rift or GW2 ...

Are they planning on jumping ship to Elder Scrolls Online?

They really need to up the returns on that though. As it stands, doing a couple of FATEs will give you more Company Seals than those delivery quests ever will.

It is a good way of dumping Garuda gear though.

If you're purely a crafter, I can see this as an issue, but IMO, you should be doing FATEs anyway, as well as clearing your hunting logs (GC). It's bare minimum effort, and if you do at least 2 a day, you'll get enough seals for a promotion at the end of the week. I don't really get why people are so much in a hurry to get everything to 50, drain their quest logs dry, and pretty much play the content to full. Are they planning on jumping ship to Elder Scrolls Online?

Beat the main story at last! ^_^

Pretty good ending. They definitely saved a lot of the production values for the end.

Sadly, I actually missed the very last battle... my PT was being a bit dickish towards the end and they finished the entire fight right as I finished the previous CS leading into it so that was disappointing. Now to begin the arduous task of getting my SMN Relic!

Also turning in items to the grand companies each day, all crafts you have theya sk for a specific item, you can craft or buy from MP and they usualkly give good exp for that craft as well as points for your GC. + you get bonus points and exp if you trade in a hq item.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

You can buy the items they want you to craft and turn them in? I didnt think that was possible.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

Technically it is both. You craft the gear to hand in as leve awards. You get an XP bonus simply for a HQ attempt and handing in a HQ item gives you an insane XP boost for the quest reward.

I find grinding to edge out leve for certain crafts, especially if you're sitting on an exorbitant amount of certain shards, like Wind Shards. So for GSM, I grind the sh*t outta stuff, and levels fall down like blocks. For others, certain levels and hubs will present fantastic repeatable leves, like Walnut Macuahuitls for CRP or Goatskin Chokers for LTW, where HQs are easy as pies and you can gain 5 or more levels with proper planning in just under 15 minutes (Hint: If the market is glut with these items in HQ, buy them up, because time is money if you're a serious crafter - otherwise grind away as normal, just know that the leves for these crafts are supreme)

Like in FFXI certain bait works for certain fish. I'm not sure how much testing has been done on isolating fish FFXI style though by using a specific bait/rod combo.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

With crafting, is it faster to level by grinding or through leves? In 1.0 grinding was the best bet.

I find Leves to be pretty grindy... but at least you get money and exp for it, and the occasional item

They helped with gathering for mining and botany but I find the fishing thing impossible as I can't see a way of predicting what ur gonna get [when fishing]. Any1?

Leves, no contest. HQ's give you 3x the EXP and Gil.
