FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread VIII: Alpha Was The Best Beta v2 -_-;

[Niiro]

How do you earn guild marks? Is it specific guildleves that involve the given craft?

[miokomioko]

They really need to take off the party claiming of Behest mobs. It's such a mess trying to group up amongst the few idiots that sign up for the Behest that it should just be XI Campaign style.

[SeikenFreak]

k thank you for the story quest info

Archer at later levels became a power house for me. I feel like I hit crits 70% of the time, but thats of course a side effect from stacking dex. With the same dex stacked though my Lancer freaking wifs like shit. Lancer is by far not a bad job. It gets some kick ass skills. But its hard to compare the two since they are nowhere a like. One is a Damage Dealer. While the other is like a mix of everything.

Do you miss WSs often on Archer? On Marauder it feels like I whiff ~50% of my WSs. It's so freaking annoying sometimes, especially when I'm counting on a Bloodbath WS working.

I hope they are aware that Open Beta players' progression is being severely stunted due to crashing leves.

I think I've only got full usage out of 2/20 of my Guardian's Aspects.

I feel like a miss 50% of my damnations on thaum. Probably because I've put 0 points into dex. I tried equipping 4x +2 accuracy rings but it didn't help.

2 weeks to go - when is the dragoon...err lancer nerf coming?

Silly question since I've been focusing on smashysmashy.

How do you designate a spell to be AoE (like, oh, you know, Cure?) on Conj or Thaumaturge?

[Calemero]

Spoiler: show

[isladar]

Thanks dear.

I managed to solo some Lone Wolves at Lv.15 PGL-12 without too much trouble. They aren't as bad as they're made out to be. It's still dumb, they should be pushed back into that zone at least a few hundred yalms.

Which npc's can repair gear in Limsa?

[Niiro]

Which npc's can repair gear in Limsa?

They're in between 2 market stalls in the southern market area, I think, could be the north market.

Counter-question: where's the gear repair NPC in Ul'dah?

[Chrian]

so I just figured out that using +1 materials making armor increases the quality level by a huge margin. a +2 bone chip increased quality from like 10 to 212

[Elcura]

Near the north exit, a taru whose name begins with a G.

[miokomioko]

Counter-question: wheres the gear repair NPC in Ul'dah?

Gridania: between the shops in Ebony Stalls
Limsa Lominsa: between the shops in Hawker's Alley
Ul'dah: just outside and across the street from The Quicksand

I don't play a caster but I believe the 'Z' key also toggles AOE as well as the emote button if using a gamepad.

I only see one npc in the middle, and she doesnt say anything about repairing gear. Do I need to go along the bridge?

Literally right -between- some of the NPC shops, just like in Gridania. Inside of West Hawker's Alley.


Also, I don't know if anyone specified this, but ranking-up in a class -can- increase your HP (on that class) as it will increase said class' VIT multiplier when calculating HP for it.

Though it is possible that some classes' multiplier will raise faster than others, while some might not increase at all (land/hand).
