FFXIV Random Speculation/Question Thread IX: "Boss, I'm going on vacation, starting on the 22nd."

[BlackheartX]

Has anyone here actually found a weapon higher than level 1? I see plenty of other equipment, but have yet to see a weapon above level 1 that is not a wand or a dagger.

Yeah they exist there's few bows in Grid.

[Kurokikaze]

I've seen quite a few in the wards. Higher level CON/THM/GLA/PUG weapons. But its hard to find cause... yeah...

[Sephiroth]

Usually if you ask around you can find 1-2 people, at least. Since you don't have to party, no one does. It's a shame. It's harder to find people at the lv10/lv20 camps too.

I don't get why people rather EXP solo, even if it does get you more EXP. It's worth sacrificing some EXP to make things fun.

It looks like people crafting weapons are going to be rich in retail version. If some of us are having problems getting hold of weapons, the casuals are going to have no chance.

Min/Max > than interaction for most games that aren't Maple Story or FF online titles. Cooperation is for endgame LOL.

[Ratatapa]

Bah, I miss the nub days of getting chased around Valkurm/Quifim by Bogys that your puller aggroed, which then went on to kill everyone who exited Selbina/Delkfutt's Tower.

[Ruin]

1) What in general is the fastest way to earn gil at this point? killing stuff and selling drops to npcs?

2) Where can you find level 1 weapons so you can change between jobs frequently?

3) The new system works like: If you continuosly level say gladiator for a few hours, then you cant get exp on it for a week or so real time?

[Kurokikaze]

People exp solo because its a the LFG/Recruit system is a mess. lol

LOL, I remember in XI the first fly I pulled on my Ranger was Valkrum Emperor which was pretty lol when we wiped. Another memorable spot is the frozen lake in Qufim Islands.

[Null]

I've found level 8 bows and level 10-20 daggers and staffs. Also I love to hear people rage about Grids quest.

Dare I say XI did it better? Not even remotely sure WTF they were thinking but that goes for a lot of things.

[miokomioko]

I've seen plenty of higher-rank weapons/tools. Got some Rank-13 Bronze Knuckles (for an outrageous 130k) but I made all the money back overnight by bazaaring some gear I found on leves.

I think all the Rank-10 gathering primary tools can be found on Rank~20 Fieldcraft leves.

Seriously. I don't mind soloing up until a point, but if people still are wary of partying rank 30+ I don't know if I'll be able to stay interested. Random pick-up EXP parties were some of the most fun/frustrating times I had in XI.

[Sephiroth]

XIV's LFG system sounded great on paper, what's wrong with it?

All they have to do is make it difficult (but not impossible) to solo past 20. Less solo EXP gains.

Or you could make a group of like minded people, that requires a lot less gimping for people with less time or patients to hunt down 5-17 other people, I mean it's leveling not the sandy dragon quest.

Nobody uses it, but it works/functions fine.. tested it with guildmates. They were able to auto-join the party I put up as LFM if they met the criteria I was searching for, there was a comment, etc. Don't see what's wrong with it other than the fact that theres no option to flag for anything other than leves.

Well, if it's not more beneficial to party than solo people aren't going to take the time to form a group unless it's with friends.

[plue]

Man the player interaction in this game is cut down to bare bones, I talked to one person in a week of playing. This just gets really boring and frustrating. BRING BACK EXP PARTIES!

[miokomioko]

I wish they would fix it so Guardian's Aspect doesn't get removed before the skill/exp from your last catch of a fishing leve registers... I'm getting screwed out of a good 600~700 skill each leve. Is there a similar problem with Botany/Mining?

[BlackheartX]

Pretty sure they'll fix it soon, if they don't just mess around with friends at a slower rate or send the development team nasty letters.
