FFXIV 3.0 : Heavensward - Expansion Information and Discussion

[Spider-Dan]

indeed this is true. no expansion registered to acct, youre capped at 50.

Is there someone without the expansion that can verify this?

Originally, Yoshi said something to the effect that you cannot gain post-50 exp from ARR content, but this turned out not to be true: you can definitely gain post-50 exp from Duty Roulette of ARR content, and I've heard people claim that they have gained post-50 exp from ARR quests and from N.Than FATEs.

In short, it seems like the actual restriction for post-50 exp in ARR is that you don't get exp per kill. For exp that is awarded from completing DR, quests, or FATEs, ARR content works just fine.

Of course it could be modernized to be less annoying.

What he said.

The interface problem can be solved easily, the same goes for the limitation to the active number of objectives.

We're talking about a dev team that just had to remove the currency tab to it's own element because they couldn't fit anymore info in the character menu.

Idk what this means? Are people upset about this or something?

[Ratatapa]

I am, more menus for no reason

[Spider-Dan]

Has it been determined what iLVL you are synced to when level synced to 50? Is it i130 gear, i135 weapon?

[lilbubbles]

Well when synced to 50.. I had more int when I switched to my zeta weapon from whatever it was that I had that was better but like level 57.

[Spider-Dan]

How much more?

[Ratatapa]

Question can you power level lower jobs with 3.0 rank 1-2-3 ranks?

Exemple If I get my daily hunts as AST 37 and a friend lv 60 kills my mob when i'm near, will I get my full EXP/Seals?

I'm 99% sure, yes. But EXP reward scales with level.

I'm not gonna translate this interview from Famitsu (the one that came out the day before Early Access), because it's really long and unneeded info now that the game is out. There's nothing really specific about Alexander, just reaffirms that the intent is that you gear up through normal Alexander and/or melded crafted gear in preparation for the savage Alexander. He also expects world first people will get through the first three parts of savage relatively quickly, and says the final one might take a bit longer. Apparently the patch to add savage will be 3.05 and will include a lot of other content, like the PvP additions (and probably esoterics and the weekly capped scrips), so there's going to be a producer letter live between now and then to discuss all of the goods.

I've seen it actually say in a 50 dungeon that it was synching me to I115.

[Niiro]

You're thinking of a dungeon with ilvl sync.

Look in the lvl 50 dungeons in the DF, the ones with a little icon next the level requirement mean they have ilvl sync, meaning the dungeons sync your ilvl to a specific point.

Dungeons without ilvl sync don't have a specific ilvl mentioned but obviously do lower your ilvl, from the sound of it:

Well when synced to 50.. I had more int when I switched to my zeta weapon from whatever it was that I had that was better but like level 57.

...they do the same kind of sync-ing that sub-50 dungeons do that makes it so gear of the appropriate level will have higher stats than higher level gear scaled down.

Which is really stupid.

[Raldo]

...they do the same kind of sync-ing that sub-50 dungeons do that makes it so gear of the appropriate level will have higher stats than higher level gear scaled down.

I'm hoping this little patch note indicates that they changed that when the expansion hit, but I haven't actually tested to see.

[2.0] Level sync will now reduce the parameters of gear based on the values of high quality gear rather than normal quality gear.

[Niiro]

Considering the above testimonial it does not seem like they have.

Or maybe they did but it only applies to sub-50 level sync, that would be very SE.

Or that i135 weapons are treated differently.

[Raldo]

Not really sure what testimonial you're referring to...?

Unless you mean the Zodiac weapon thing, which just says to me that the iLv cap is probably i130 and the Zodiac punches through that cap because it is already a lv50 weapon and thus does not get synced.

[Niiro]

Ah, you're right I was still thinking in terms of ilvl rather than level.

A level 50 piece would only be effected if it had an actual ilvl sync.

[Spider-Dan]

On the bright side, if LV50 iLVL sync works like the iLVL sync in Frontline, it'll actually work out better than normal LV50 gear as the synced secondary stat caps are major/major instead of major/minor.

I know HM Primals are completely unsynched. We did some weapon farming and shit, my warrior was soloing Garuda to twin phase with 0 effort. Two or 3 manning Ifrit and Garuda without heals is possible. Not sure about Titan because of Fetters.
