    Do people not consider unseen story to be worth doing something?
    I suffer through the repetitive beast tribe quests mostly so I can watch the story of them (and buy the mount afterward of course).
    I guess everyone puts different emphasis on the story in XIV, but I honestly thought that's the #1 reason to play the game.

    It varies. beast tribe quests have in general usually blown. The newer ones have definitely gotten better and the Namazu prove to be top tier. FFXIV's story is one of those 'Your Mileage May Vary' because a lot of us are jaded and cna see similiarities between HW and SB.

    Speaking of story, seems I'm nearing the end of the current available story but I need to upgrade my gear to queue up for this primal fight. Current I just have some 310 stuff I got from the clan but I really haven't done anything outside of MSQ and I don't have gil enough just to buy the crafted stuff. Before I would just use poetics to get a new set when I got to the current major version level cap, but I guess that won't be an option for a while. What would be the quickest way to meet the iLvl req, will I just need to spend a month grinding mendacity? Just hate to put the story to to side for so long since I'm near the end.

    You can buy mats and send them to a crafter. If you're on sargantanas I can help but I'd try poking around and seeing what you could do. Also I'd recommend spamming HoH for a ilv365 weapon and creation to convent into i350 gear and possible i360 enhanced crafted gear.

    So whats the draw on the Namazu? The beast quests all seemed a bit samey so far.

    Storyline is pretty legit. Can't say much that'll spoil it but lets say its light hearted and has a lot of well animated cutscenes. It also follows the post-ixali trend of building up a camp site.

    The stormsap and mount are also pretty legit rewards as well.

    I see that theres a captain rankup, but how do you get first lieutenant?

    It's related to the Squadron system in the Grand Company. I think when you get Squadron members to level 40, you get a squadron mission for it?

    edit: Seems like Captain is also a squadron mission, a level 50 one.

    How long would it take me to get to 40 from scratch? I might have dabbled in it but quickly lost interest on release.

    A day or two at most. Mostly because you are gated somewhat on things you can do by the MSQ. If you leveled another job from 1-40 after already completing it, for example, you could do it in 10 hours or so.

    I think he is asking about his squadron, that would definitely take longer than 10 hours. Mostly because they are limited by the 3 daily 1-hour training sessions and 18-hour longer missions and some of it is luck-based if you don't have the right stats available. I've been leveling an alt lately and half-arsedly her squad is level 40+ after about 2 weeks, they usually gain a level per day (more early on) if they clear their missions and if you take them out on an odd dungeon here and there. What's more annoying is actually unlocking useful squadron members as you can only gain them randomly from completing challenge log entries...

    Oh my bad. Thought he was talking about coming back to the game and leveling himself.

    what do I do when I outgrow a piece of armor and can't sell it? sometimes I can't convert it either and my crafting levels aren't very high so I'm guessing that affects it?

    new craftable MNK body piece on MB is 4-5m on my server and it seems crazy expensive to me to not be able to sell it back after using it and later upgrading to something else

    What's the recipe to rank up to the new GC rank? I had a capped squadron before patch 4.4

    Then you have to send them on a unique level 50 squadron mission, so ideally your squad should be 50 before you attempt it. And it’s an 18 hour wait for completion as always.
