FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread V: No one told me beta would have problems in it

[Galkaeater]

Where is this marketward this is the first time I have heard of it lol

edit: nvm found it on southern islands

[CrstyCptSteveWitherspoon]

It needs work.

Like most of the beta atm ha. I think I just avoided it because the menus are so slow. I do like the fact that when you look at someones bazaar they have a "Looking to buy" feature.

On another note, I hooked my ps3 controller up to the pc and it makes the game a lot more enjoyable to play. Then I got fancy and went to best buy and over paid($40) for a mini bluetooth device and hooked up my ps3 controller wireless. Works pretty well, I'd give it a 9/10. Forgot to turn it off though and it was dead this morning so I'm back to being wired.

Can someone tell me where I can buy new weapons?

[Cureslime]

I don't think they've gotten one piece of positive feedback on the retainer system. It'll be interesting to see what they do.

they took down retainer feedback lol, i assume cause of this

[Kurokikaze]

lol wow. Guess they got enough feedback to know what they gotta do. It's not a bad system at all it just needs some features and finishing touches. Naming wards based on items sold and search across wards would be fantastic.

Shopping right now takes me upwards of 15 minutes.

Edit: Just did first Behest. What a joke... It's just another leve. I was expecting some sort of boss at the end or something. 881gil reward too. :/

[Misuicide]

Where would be a good place to go for 3 lvl 12s to go and fight around? we're out in cedar wood, lol we're killin shit but takes forever.

+1 mats give you a huge craftsmanship boost and a slight durability boost. I made an ingot out of 6 +1 chunks, and the shit started out at 138 craftsmanship before i even laid my hammer on it.

Edit: From the looks of it, the more times you do a single option in crafting, the bigger the results get. I did bold crafting 6 times in a row, and while the first one only gave 22 craftsmanship, by the fifth one, I was gaining 58 craftsmanship, and on the sixth, even while failing, I gained 62 craftsmanship. Oh, I ended up with 338 craftsmanship on that ingot, yet got 1, yet the previous one, I ended up with 202 and got 2.

Its still hard to truly nail down the systems when you get random-ass results like that. I was thinking that if you hit over a certain threshold, your results would be assured, but it seems that it may just raise your percentage for a +1 or an increased yield of goods.

Hey, any of you guys know why my Retainer was gone when I logged back in today? Did the maint cause him to despawn? I assume that was it but jw.

[Kurokikaze]

I've been into the ward after servers gone up. No one there. They definitely get the boot till you resummon them.

Nice to know, but it's still +3 to inventory lol
On the other hand, since crafting is it's own job it makes sense that things be more complicated

[GavinBandura]

Has anyone tried repairing a weapon with smithing? If so, know the rough level needs to fully repair a rank 16 weapon?

[Cayos]

I was able to repair my level 11 Brass Spear at 7 Smithing, and I had trouble at 4 Smithing.

[MrJosho]

To repair my 16 axe I needed rank 8 smithing.

[GavinBandura]

Ah okay, awesome. Can I buy all the materials from the guild to get to 8 easy enough, or will I need to mine some?

[Hyan]

they took down retainer feedback lol, i assume cause of this

They did? The EU thread is still open, is the US one locked or something?

[Arximiro]

Were you able to repair it to 100%? When I tried to repair my copper earring it repaired a few then said no more repairs are needed. I only ask because I want to resell the gear I used to use, but you cant sell it until it's at 100%.

Yep it always increases to 100%, well for me anyway.

It's not that beneficial for people that's higher leveled but it's no doubt gonna get harder heh, still working with a lack of content, this is probably where the "HNM/Boss" stuff will come from they mentioned awhile back.

US thread is still there, not locked
