FFXIV 3.0 : Heavensward - Expansion Information and Discussion

[Niiro]

It says right below the undersized party option that there's no level sync or ilvl sync.

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.

There's a video on reddit of a WAR soloing Ifrit HM. Didn't use any healing potions or STR potions either, just rode Equilibrium and Bloodbath cooldowns. On the same note a SMN did the same thing with Titan Egi with much more safety. Titan is impossible solo as the very first Gaol instantly auto-wipes you (judging by the SMN video) so I don't even know if leaving a ground AoE would help.

Currently AST43 fastest way to get it to 60? (2nd job)

Dungeons or Fates? (I count challenge log as done)

[Gokulo]

I'd say fates just because of consistency, seeing how luck can screw you with retards in dungeons

but if you can get friends to dungeon of appropriate level, a dungeon is like 1/4th of a level.

[Niiro]

Apparently 56 is "the wall" when leveling a second job to 60.

A run of the Aery is like.......1/10th of a level, with armoury bonus.

[Ratatapa]

For 2nd job 50-60 do you think it's worth it to do the Trials + Low + High + MSQ roulettes for EXP bonus?

Or just do the dungeon that you're suppose to at the lv?

[Niiro]

If you're at the minimum level for a dungeon, do the dungeon, the exp chains from the mobs make it worthwhile.

After you've leveled up and no longer get exp chains in the dungeon do roulettes/side-quests/etc until you can do the next dungeon.

DR Hard and Low both give ~10% exp as the end bonus, do they not?

[lilbubbles]

With armor bonus you get more exp doing hw dungeons than roulettes. But roulettes add a change of pace and are easy so I do them anyway lol.

[Niiro]

More like 6-8%.

Low level is more like 4-5% if it's a HW dungeon but you get some exp from mobs.

[Ratatapa]

But low lv you might get the chance to get a HW dungeon and more XP!

[Taint]

But you lose the tome bonus right? doing Roulette on sub 60 jobs.

[Kaslo]

I would rather do a lvl 60 dungeon than risk getting Stone Vigil/Aurum Vale/DD in my low level roulette.

[Kirbyprime]

So, I'm level 49 MCH, planning on making it my main. Should I do roulettes on my PLD for tomes or use it to level my MCH? I'm clean out of quests so I'm pretty much screwed once North Th[tab] fates die down.

[Niiro]

But you lose the tome bonus right? doing Roulette on sub 60 jobs.

Yea.

Really tho, for leveling a 2nd job, probably better off using the roulettes for exp.

Low/High level roulette give 100 Law, which is only 20 more than any of the Expert dungeons give on their own.

[SamanosukeShiva]

I would rather do a lvl 60 dungeon than risk getting Stone Vigil/Aurum Vale/DD in my low level roulette.

getting aurum vale is good now, they give a lot of exp

[chichicha]

Solo DD as SMN, Solo in AV as SCH, it's fun! (Level 51)
(Doing it for my Flames' ranking up, haha!)

[The Stig]

I tried soloing DD as 51 PLD, but I wasn't playing proper. But due to lack of HP recovery options, mobs pass the first boss quickly overwhelms me.

Being able to recover HP is nice. With Celemency (big heal) and higher level it should be easier. I can imagine SCH/SMN having an easy time due to a possibly unlimited pool of HP if your pulls aren't silly.

[Adajer]

I tried stone vigil hm at 60 on drg. First pull was going ok. Then i looked at my hp and saw how much dmg i was taking. Going to get warrior to 60 and try again.
