    Recently started playing and loving this game so far. I started lightbinder and have a question about the atlas and not screwing myself over. It sounds like I should go all the way through the lightbinder tree to unlock a symbol slot first (my next plan is alchemist), so while doing that should I be using my rgb sparks to progress the paladin line or should I use them on the main atlas towards alchemist or should I just hoard them? I'm at about 1.5k prestige now, just did lanbrath (sp?) open world part last night and finally got to where mobs can pose a threat if I don't pay attention so I don't imagine things are going to get any easier now, but I didn't mind being a glowy orb cannon for the dps people running around killing for me lol.

    if you want alchemist start to make your way towards it with your sparks. Once you get to a certain point in the class atlas, you will use class sparks and no longer use colored sparks.

    Decided to try it out for the hell of it... from the looks like it, its going to be a pain the ass epic grind to unlock other classes >.> A little glitchy (mount too big, can't fit through door wtf! also floating heads if talk to a npc fast enough that disappears), a little grindy, not too bad.

    Also, the game rates a Nvidia 980 Ti very low for a graphics card even though its 40fps+ at 4K on max settings ;/

    never had the floating head issue, you're also somewhat "leveling up" while you work your way to unlock classes so it's not as big of a deal, also you can probably unlock anything within the first week of cap now with the catch up program

    Really hope the next event doesn't mirror the Russian version. Really don't want this game to go P2W

    trying to unlock witch, I did the "find path" thing .. and well considering how far it is and the obscene costs of talents... don't think I'm getting there this week unless the "weekly limits" is lying to me and I can go far far past it (like probably need 10,000 more balance/whatever cubes)

    maybe, i haven't really paid attention lately as i can't find solid information anywhere on how to progress my atlas after the patch. the catch up program is when you see a 3man dungeon with the 3 spark symbol that says "bonus" or something by it, usually 3000 or 7000

    I did notice some... unknown cube type currency (shows up as pink circles) on some parts the atlas like some sort of road blocks... I just go around them >.>

    Although going through this 1 atlas area where each node is like 600-800 cubes to unlock each circle is kind of brutal.... thank god there is only one in my path to witch

    Spoiler: show


    so i'll cap instantly after the reset for sparks of evo

    edit: apparently without premium you can't get sparks of evo, so i'm not sure how long it takes to cap on class sparks without premium but sparks of insight is literally no time at all
    Actually.. you can get sparks of evolution without premium.


    Random info from just starting the game (with 3 day free premium I got from some quest included).

    Took about 5 days to use the credit limit
    took about 4 days to use up all the sparks of insight (although I randomly got a bonus 5,000 added to my limit at some point.
    took about 6 days to get all class sparks
    and almost got all mastery on day 6, since it resets at night it'll probably be capped also.

    I pretty much desynthed everything I got, since I'm playing ffxiv styill + raiding + work.

    I'm sure next week it won't take too long to cap since I have a better idea of what I'm doing, and also at 7000ish prestige thing

    Can't get them as you normally would is what he means. With premium enabled you get Sparks of Evolution in place of normal class sparks when you cap out the class that you're playing on and receive a regular class spark drop. Without premium, you can only get them as a mission bonus (I've yet to see more than one of these, and it was for 100 of them only), promo class drops, and from Anomalies.

    Later on when you run out of first completion bonuses, it takes a lot longer to cap without Premium. Especially class sparks. Unless you get a good Pantheon that can do Group dungeons with you, it'll suck dicks trying to get 30-50k Sparks of Insight when all you get is 150-200 of them per Adventure. You're also getting a replicator bonus right now, the newer your account and further you are from the "average" Prestige, the more your replicators do for you. That will start to go away as you progress.

    Since they buffed Class Spark drops, they aren't -as bad- as they used to be... but still takes a lot of grinding once your cap raises sufficiently. Kinda wish there were ways to get either a bonus to spark gains as your cap raises or a reasonably large sum of spark replicators.

    Yeah I had about 2,500ish replicators after the reset... unfortunately not enough to unlock witch, still need like 1,000 total ;/ May grind mechanoids and finish up the... mastery sparks and hope it can get me enough prestige to get a capsule of insight toward unlocking witch. Saving class sparks for the possibility I can unlock witch atm, so haven't 0'ed that out yet. But in 1 day, without premium I think I got pretty far.

    day 1, down to 250K ish credit limit
    day 1 down to 0 insight
    class sparks like 3,000?
    mastery 6,000

    randomly, I was getting a very small amount of sparks of evolution from the 5 man raid "hunts" island (like 1-5 without premium)

    also, only recently found out... you can do missions for adepts (and claim rewards, even do the grand pix) from their website , why no one tell me this before! Could of been doing that stuff at work
