Turns out I had the quest in my current mission list already, even though I knew I didn't take it last time I turned it in. Must've been a bug or something.

Back for the Return Home campaign, anyone still around on Sylph? My old LS (Core) seems to be dead :<

[Twilight Sky]

I'm thinking of coming back for a "last hurrah" before I truly hang it up. lmao I'm still on Bahamut which probably has like nobody I've seen from before Abyssea on it anymore.

[NotGreyheim]

Just made the jump to Bahamut to join some friends, but our LS is smol atm. Any bigger (active) LS around to help out a recent returnee? I tried out the concierge, but ended up with a completely empty LS list...

[Anoat]

The FFXIV YouTuber MrHappy1227 has set up a LS on Bahamut for new or returning XI players to help them get through the story missions. A lot of XIV players have been wanting to jump into XI since the upcoming XIV alliance raid is based on XI. Anyone is welcome to join the LS but they mostly are just doing story missions and not routine endgame stuff.

[The Stig]

While that is sort of noble, isn't like 90% of the story soloable with trusts lol

[Anoat]

To experienced players sure, totally new players probably not. They won’t have all the best trusts available or for the most part even know what to do or where to go unless they are sitting there with the wikis open.

[Chefjc]

Anyone know what rng's main subs are now a days. I keep finding conflicting information everywhere. Veteran returning and start anew.

Thanks for your time.

[Surealistic]

pretty sure its just war

[Twilight Sky]

Time for 8 hours of checking and installing files.

Am I right to assume that mules(or whatever term is being used for that now in this day and age) are still necessary?

[Madeline]

Yes.

[Zealot]

For gear on a returning character, should I just load up on the 117 stuff from sparks?

[mallister]

Sparks gear will probably be your first gear, yes. I know this guide helped me when I came back:

These 2 have also been pretty useful for me

[Zealot]

Is there a good spot at 99 where I can grind out merit points?

[brozy]

There very well might be better places but i've personally been going to Escha Ru'Aun telepoint #3(with trusts) getting a merit every 2 mobs, shouldn't think gear would matter too much as long as its some form of i119, if it is then before i went there i just ran around Kamihr Drifts killing everything i seen and was pretty ok.

[Zealot]

Haven't been to Ru'aun yet but I've done Escha - Zi'Tah so I SHOULD have access, I think.

[Salodin]

Has anyone made a way to play this on mobile yet I'd love to finish out the stories I never completed one day, but sitting in front of the PC for hours to get things done just isn't possible for me anymore
