    PotD 51-60 beats FATE farming at that point I think.

    Anyway for leveling this is what I recommend. Get a pair of Padjali fists and then build up to +60/+60 so you can exchange for a set of Kinna Fists (ilv255). This will likely be the weapon you'll be using unless you either get lucky in Diadem, do the Anima questline, or A12 normal enough times for the scripture weapon.

    For left side body pieces you'll want to do PvP first. It syncs to ilv150 and you can purchase GARO gear. Once you hit ilv230 you can join in Dun Scaith for your weekly left side piece and right side accessory.

    You can run dungeons for i245 gear (And likely should to cap out Scripture) and then if your patience is willing, farm Alexander Creator until you have enough items to trade in for i250 pieces.

    After all of that all that's left for gearing is Savage Alexander. A9S and A10S is easy enough though the hardest part will be either getting people who know the fight to learn to make it painless to learn or people who can perform the mechanics regularly enough.

    POTD is the best. It takes about 3 for a level. I'd still do trial roulette but that's about it.

    For lvling, potd seems like the fastest way, but i prefer dungeons to better your knowledge of the job, since potd has no positional requirements.

    And yes, gear progression is pretty much that, you can literally cap scripture in 2-3 days by just doing all your roulettes alone, including frontline. In about a 3 weeks span i was able to go from 3.1 gear to getting my zurvan weapon, and getting some a9s drops, dun scaith and shire drops.

    Alright I'm back, talk to me boys!

    50 and fresh into heavensward, what should I look into first? Spamming story and side quests now.

  6. #406

    Yup, just do the story and don't worry about anything else.

    When you get into a lull EXP-wise, you can either do Palace of the Dead(quest started in Quarrymill) and get some supplemental EXP, or, Moogle Side Quests, and join the "everyone hates Moogles" train.

    Returned after a few months, and I have no idea what i'm doing.

    Decided to level a fresh 50, is there anything I should do besides finishing story missions?

    just do story for now; the extra quests between patch 2.0 - 2.5 should get you to 52/53

    Once again using this as a RQT.

    What's the easiest way to get on the board for the Triple Triad tournaments, and which NPC gives the best points reward for it? I need to know the system these people who are consistently winning are using

    Also trying to figure out what to do with extra ultima accessories. Do tanks generally gear all STR or all VIT or a combo or what?

    I think VIT and STR both give the same attack increase now for tanks, but VIT also has the benefit of increasing HP. I have no idea if they do anything fancy with materia on accessories though or if they are just throwing in the secondary stats.

    Short answer is: use VIT accessories with STR melds

    Long answer is: due to itemization and the weight of secondary stats, there are cases/builds where it's more DPS to use a STR accessory with a VIT meld. Specifically, this tier all tanks use 1 STR ring and 1 VIT ring, and I know there's a WAR build that uses another STR accessory on top of that.

    Regardless, you'd never meld secondary stats

    Thanks for the answers, that is helpful to know.

  16. #416

    I quit around 3.1 I think, Should i come back and get started now on the story. Or is it kinda short where it would only take a week or 2?

    There's a free login period happening so you could crush it all then. Gearing might be an issue unless you have a friend who could give you i250 armor.

    But you'd be looking at 4 dungeons, a trial. The entire warring triad. Two tiers of normal alex (I hear queues for Midas suck) Void Ark, and Hildibrand if you wanted to complete all story aspects that will likely be major or related to 4.x.

    Queues for any tier of normal Alex are nonexistent.

    If you have pvp currency, can boost yourself a bit with makai.
