FFXIV 2.0 Random Speculation/Question Thread XII: End Of An Era - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!

[Godsleftsock]

I already figured out a solution. I am starting in Gridania (I am legacy), and after I exit out of the intro instance at the adventure guild when we start, I am going to immediately ride my coeurl mount to the boat and sail over to Limsa to tag their aetherite and get into the Arcanist guild, then progress from there on out in Gridania. (I want my Arcanist to get all the storyline exp.) This is soley for RP purposes, as I don't like how I get all this praise from Merlwyb in the 1-15 missions before I get sent off. It makes me feel guilty because I am all like "thanks for all the praise but I am ditching you for the elves."

Gotta be level ten before joining any other guild but your starting one

What camps should I go to for level 20~30 quests? Are there any level 20~30 quests? >_>

I believe progression quests stop at 20 in Phase 3.

[Niiro]

If you have a 1.0 character that's already over 20 you can ride mounts immediately after the introductory tutorial.

Ah forgot we were talking about a legacy in this case, post before mine threw me off.

I assume GC Hunt mobs that have their locations listed as levemetes are from GC leves?

Are they primary targets or those rare/wanted ones that appear randomly?

They randomly pop from the normal leve, though they may pop way out of the normal range of the leve. The lvl 1 Flame Captain Shroud ones pop on specific sides of the camp; East for the goblin and West for the Antelope, so that can sometimes help. I've no idea if they will also pop from GC leve as those aren't implemented in the camp's who's BF leve are currently able to spawn them.

[Niiro]

Is there any way to know which camp the mob is supposed to be found around?

There's 2 levemetes at different camps in Lower La Noscea but the GC log doesn't get any more specific.

[Psion]

They only do a pending charge and take it off for now to verify your payment method. We don't actually get billed until it ships.

Ah, cool. I thought that buying from the SE store directly meant id have to pay it all right away. XD Makes me wonder if i can use some of that money atm now for steam sales, since i'd have time to get more before it ships. <_<;

Friend just got her ps3 setup. Can you expand the map and if so how?

[Evane]

Rectangle button to open the map. Holding L1 + moving right analog stick will zoom in/out.

Only available when the map is in focus. I hope that answers your question.

If you want to make the size of the map window bigger you can go into mouse mode by holding down L1 and pushing in the right thumbstick, then you can grab the corner of the map and drag it to make it bigger.

I was about to ask this, thanks. It's the north camp, right, not the south?

That still leaves the Ixali Deftalons though, I've been up and down Alder Springs and all I've found are Golems, Diremites, and Ziz.

I wanna get that done before the closing, the only other things left are to grind Haukke until I can get into Brayflox.

And with several runs, I still haven't seen any green drops from Toto-Rak, nothing but pink.

If I remember right, they are directly S of Fallgord Float in a fairly small clearing.

Longshot but did anyone test the enmity gain from Flash and how it works? Curious if it's just a set gain (and thus drops off as you level) or scales based on level or something. Stuff like Savage Blade or Overpower obviously scale with your damage, but if Flash doesn't will it cause issues at endgame in AoE situations?

Seiken believes that Flash enmity is calculated similarly to damage, in that weapon damage, STR, and DET affect the final enmity in that order, but I personally haven't corroborated this. It definitely scales as your character's overall power increases.

[Kiarax]

Awesome, thank you.

[Cantih]

I found them, it's not directly south, but out the east entrance then south.

Also, the Alpha Stag is linked to the L20 leves in Quarrymill, and the Goblin to the L25, If you just grind one set you'll miss the other.
And they can pop for any leve, but seen to have a handful of normal spots (I saw people fighting the goblin at X27 Y20 frequently, though mine was a bit north.)

Much appreciated, thanks

Random questions:

Is there any benefit to an armor once its soulbound? Randomly this has been happening while I level, and since there isn't a wiki for the new stuff yet I haven't been able to find that answer.

Why the hell are level 1 mining things (Ice, Earth shards) in lvl 15+ area's? Is this just the game being pants on head stupid for the sake of it?

Does anyone have a guide for setting up a keyboard layout similar to XI? I've gotten mostly used to XIV's, but there's enough 'extra' things to make me pull my hair out. I hate using wASD if I'm using the # keys to control macros, since they both use the same hand it means I can't move and use actions at the same time. I meant to play around with this some more before the beta ended, but time snuck up on me and I didn't have any to experiment.

Every once in a while I would see someone ding from 2 -> 15. What the bloody hell does that?

Is the xp fatigue system still in place?

[Gokulo]

1. When its fully spiritbonded you can transform it into materia.
2. Iunno
3. Iunno
4. There's an npc in beta that gives you instant lv 15 on classes after your first.
5. Not really, although the rested exp is just 'fatigue' backwards
