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

[Kurokikaze]

You need to have 100+ credits with the faction for them to show up.

[Zubis]

How did you get faction leve's? Did they not show up until a certain lv or do you need "X" amount of credits or w/e

You need 100 Faction points or whatever they're called. My group did two of them yesterday and both were huge let downs in terms of challenge.

edit: btw, Accomplice does shit all judging by initial testing.

edit2: Like your.. Skewer II, was it? Concussion Blow II knocks of the skull of Magicked Bones. Fighting these seem to make the client crash however so I didn't have time to find out if it does anything special to them.

[Balphas]

I do not want to sound like a douchebag here, but please make a new thread requesting tickets for the competition. These FFXIV beta speculation threads are too long already, without having to browse through off-topic posts. Sorry, and thank you.

[Kurokikaze]

Lucavi!! Where are you?! ; ;

[Destinye]

This should be locked soon anyway. Specially with the phase complete there's nothing but 1-2 weeks worth of..TICKETS PLZ.

[Tokitoki]

Tickets contest thing with Eorzeapedia closes on the 9th anyway. Only a few days worth.
Anyway new thread created. Anyone that has posted before this point should be on there. Just check for your name, it's all alphabetical.

[Zounder]

Before this thread closes, just wanted to thank everybody who shared some of their experiences/info, it has been fun to read.

I do have one thing to ask, since nobody seems to talk about it much... For those who have leveled Archer, what are your overall thoughts on the class? Like, cost of arrows at higher levels, skills, overall effectiveness solo or in parties, etc... We've seen ample comments about Pug/Glad/mages/etc. but not a whole lot about Archer. I gave my beta account to a friend so I haven't exactly had a lot of time to mess around in beta, so my archer was only level 3. Was just curious for more info, because I was considering being an archer for release.

[Katlan]

thread won't be closed during the downtime between phases

There is a thread for the Eorzeapedia tickets. I don't know how you are all missing it. Leave this for discussion please. It's annoying.

Question about leves: If multiple have the guildleve, does it only complete for the person who initiated it at the stone?

edit: By 'complete' i mean count towards your 3 leves / 2days limit.

No, if a party member has the same Leve it will complete it regardless of who started it.

So in order to maximise the amount of guildleves (in a set party) we can do we should all pick different leves or just have 1 person take the leves and rotate?

Correct.

It's not really practical once you get past Bearded Rock. Anima doesn't recharge fast enough to allow you to tele to such an extent, so your gonna run out really fast and have to run everywhere. And grinding is still better experience / skill in the long run over leve's. Leve's are mainly for money / gear (imo), and the money for helping in a leve is a nice perk, but not enough to make you want to spend 5hrs doing leve's as ppl run back and fourth

[Reii]

I see, thanks Chakra and Katlan. It would still be ideal to make sure your party takes as many different leves as possible if there is enough variety to choose from right?

Also on the official site it states that Thaums are the 'best' damage dealer, but from what i've gathered they mainly do tons of debuffs (some of which turns into party buffs?) and they only have 2(?) direct damage spells? (Astral and Umbral) Whereas the Conjurer has almost all the different elemental nukes that BLMs have. How true is the site description in practise? Do the Astral and Umbral nukes perform much better than Conj elemental nukes? Or are their baselines pretty much even and its really about how much INT you pump?
