FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread VI: Phase 3, FFXIV is still on the rag!

[Hyan]

If Guildleves are the equivalent of "normal Quests" in other MMOs, that would really suck. Can you imagine to play WoW, LOTRO...with only 16 Quests / 2 days thats just ridiculous.

It is not supposed to work that way.

Are there any Group Instances like Stratholme or Scholomance in WoW?
I liked these types of challanges.

They are planning to add them, beta does not have them.

From 08:30 to 10:00 (GMT) on Aug. 11, 2010, we will be conducting maintenance to address issues caused by the recent technical difficulties. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XIV will be unavailable.

I wonder what they're planning on fixing.

Yeah I haven't gotten that far yet Anthony, but it's starting to get close. I am lv18 Archer but I've been leveling Marauder and Pugilist so perhaps that has helped? It did in p2.

edit: Is it possible to have more that one LS? I mean for beta.

Hob didn't spawn after server start, a buddy told me there were 200+ people cramped in the small space where you arrive in Limsa Lominsa.

Hob is the NPC you have to talk to to enter the actual town.

I found a nice bunch of rats and sprigs (havent tried those yet) that are green to 13; fairly easy to kill the rats to pass the time, 800~1000xp.

To those of you asking about fishing, I had great amounts of success tonight. Near Bearded Rock, you know the valley that's filled with moles? There's a cave to go in that spits you out very close to some water, on a little ledge. I got tons of catches here, I'd say at least 20-30 catches in the hour I fished there, and many more near catches.

What I did was:
Wait x1
Jig @ 2/5 of the bar
Jig towards middle until catch

I had a bunch of bloodworms and lugworms, as well as a Chocobo lure+1 which lasted nearly 15 casts.

...and then I saw that everything NPC's for 1 gil, and I'm not sure if theres any demand whatsoever, yet.

[Kurp]

Is there an easy way to transfer items and gil between characters on the same account? I've made a couple characters and did the initial leves and have some gear I'd like to swap.

I just make a retainer and list something (crystal or shard) for an absurd price, then buy it yourself on another character, thus transferring the money. Or find someone you trust to hold onto it while you mule. To the best of my knowledge there isn't a mailbox or anything yet.

Fencer confirmed on "making of eorzea" #3 at 2:51

[Alexymage]

yeah Gamescom should be promising, maybe they have the close to completion build there...

If they let them test other regions, like Ul'dah, I think they will be testing on the final build. God I hope so.

I know this has probably been asked 1000 times, has anyone crafted a higher level spear and if so, what are the steps?

[Fallyn]

Where do you get bloodshore leves?

[Kurp]

Where do you get bloodshore leves?

From the same guy that gives out the starting ones.

[Fallyn]

oh, he only has Bearded and Skull listed for me. I guess its cause ive done 8 already?

[Gokulo]

You either need higher level, or need to touch Bloodshore Aetheryte beforehand.

[Kurp]

You have to be job level 10 to get them. They should show up even if you have done eight already.
