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

[Deadgye]

Restat gives you a percent of each stat back; so if you only put into one stat you're not going to get much back.

[natethegreat]

You get back 5 points from each stat that has something in it. And considering it takes 2 points for 1 stat. you get back 5 points and lose 2 stats.

I only got 3 back the first time I reassigned. The second time I got 5 back.

[Sephiroth]

I'm impressed that the game only crashed once for me out of the 10 or so hours I spent playing last night/today, seems they're fixing these issues quite quickly in those small patches, or I got lucky.

I saw someone mention they bought the bronze knuckle from a bazar. I've been trying to make those, but I cannot make the Buffalo Leather Strap @ Rk 10 Tanner ( Buffalo hide + 10 Wind shards). Anyone knows the level requirement? Also leathercraft is a pain to skill up, I couldn't find cheap mats off NPCs so I farmed tons of sheeps in Limsa while levelling archer, lancer and gladiator to level 6...

Wondering if people saw the Rk 9 Leather Himantes either? One ingredient doesn't have a recipe on online databases ( buffalo leather knuckle guards).

Is the minimum level you can attempt a recipe known? For ex. I cannot attempt Buffalo leather strap @ 10, it means it is level 26+ like in FF11?

[Blasta]

Haha this thread name, that's exactly what i did. I cancelled my whole summer vacation to enjoy it on the 22nd of ...september ^^

AFAIK, there is no cap to skill gains but, they do go down as you rank up. With alchemist I did Distilled Water to R.8 before I felt the skill gains were too low. I started out getting ~250/synth at R.1-2 and by R.8 they had dropped to 100~130. I'm currently working on Leather myself to try making Buffalo Leather Strap(Ochre) to put into Bronze Labrys synths, but thats a ways off as I need to do Carpenter as well for an Ash Axe Haft. Check around bazaars, I;ve seen a lot of Buffalo Leather Straps on Lindblum tonight in the Ul'Dah areas.

I've been respeccing quite often and I always get back 5 points per stat as long as it had 5 to get back. Not sure why you would only get 3 back from something. Only reason is you didn't have 5 points assigned into it but I don't think that's the case.

[Guitarman]

is there a way to respond to tells without retyping the persons full name?

[jenasu]

none

[hopefulki]

is there a way to respond to tells without retyping the persons full name?

click the chat box and press ctrl+r. only works if the chat box is actively selected though.

[sruon]

Space Bar will make the chatbox active, kinda hoping they remove the useless step to make it FFXI-like.

Not to mention you kind of need to actually send a tell by typing full name before CTRL+R works.

i did the math a bit back, we got like 7 zones, seems they use a different format in 14. 1 zone = 4, thanalan is a pure example. n/e/s/w all in 1 map. 11 pre zilart/pre na release, had 67 zones including the bc's and boat zones. so here we got maybe 15-20 tops? also not including 1 zone havin 5 maps. so taking that in reference, there is a shit ton not released, including alot of the ui/chat/search/whatever else. so back to your question and my response. (before people bitch se sucks and calling me a defender..) there will be most likely alot more at launch or within the months following. sit tight.

[Ruin]

Can someone explain the levequest thing to me more clearly?

- For regional what happens if you do 4 on day 1, then 4 on day 2, do you get 4 back on day 3? or do you get all 8 back on day3?

- Can you always repeat low level quests or even the my first adventure quest? or once you complete it / trade it for another it is forever gone?

[Johndile]

Stupid question is stupid. Can you do multiple story quests on one character? If not how do you switch?

[sruon]

@Ruin 1. You get all 8 back on a set time (same for everyone on the server)
2. Uh... I think you can redo it an unlimited amount of time.

@Johndile That's the kind of thing you can't find out before release. :/

[outzaidur]

Stupid question is stupid. Can you do multiple story quests on one character? If not how do you switch?

No, only the story for your city state. There are no plans for changing states yet ... especially considering the low amount of content produced for each individual state as of now. When they have content for endgame story mode they might give it the FFXI treatment.

1 region = 4 zones in XI (n/e/s/w) plus the city being 1, perhaps 2 zones, as well as dungeons (each region seems to have... 2? dungeons), so about 8~ "zones" per region.

5 regions initially, so let's say ~40 "zones" for the beginning of vanilla. 5 more zones will be in the .dats, which are released later on, however before the first expansion. If every unreleased region has let's say 5-6 "zones", vanilla XIV has around 60~ "zones" total before the first expansion is released.

The size is pretty good imo, but the content is more important. I'm sure within a year and half the game will be quite fleshed out. Everyone can determine when it'd be worthwhile to start playing. Start of vanilla will be quite barren, I guess.
