FFXIV Random Speculation/Question Thread XI: "How you liking that Beta Phase 5?"

[Gadritan]

That might just be your server dude...

I was thinking the same. All I do is craft (haven't touched pug since day 2) and I've met a ton of friendly/talkative people.

OK so... I thought ur fatique resets everything at the same time each week?

This morning I was in pysical fatigue. Then that went away at about 1pm, which is correct cuz I started playing on a weds at noon. Then I exp weaver for 2hrs and hit fatigue on that? How the hell does that work? Is every job on its own 1 week timer?

Yes. Each class has its own fatigue bar and it resets a week after said class starts gaining skill.

EDIT: Nevermind.
EDIT2: Saw a confirmation somewhere else right as I pressed the reply button. Sorry for vanishing on you Mio, and thanks.

[miokomioko]

Yeah, it goes like:

6,000 Guild Mark abilities: no requirements
8,000 Guild Mark abilities: Rank-20 class quest
10,000 Guild Mark abilities: Rank-30 class quest (?)
12,000 Guild Mark abilities: Rank-40 class quest (?)

Strange Fishing Message:

"The fish are agitated. You put up your fishing rod and observe."

Couple conditions associated:
- In fatigue for fishing (sp yellow, been there for many points)
- Just finished r20 leve, aetheryte just spawned
- but I continued fishing anyway to compare skill gain without favor

[Jojimbo]

I always get that message when I try and continue to fish after finishing a leve, I've never hit fatigue on FSH or fished for any large amount of time in one go. Guess it's a way to force you out of fishing once aetheryte spawns.

[goodr]

lol this game and its idiotic bad feedback messages.

[miokomioko]

Yeah, I have only received that message the one time I failed (lol) a fishing leve and continued trying to fish after I was removed from "duty." I don't think I have ever tried to continue fishing after completing a leve. It's definitely a force-cancel as fishing leve's targets are technically "schools of fish" where you can find catches that are not found in standard bodies of water. They just don't want you exploiting that after failing/completing a leve.

I would welcome more server-wide channels than just Trade. A party channel would be good, so would world chat or at least regional chat. These are some really simple things to implement too, and would enhance player communication a ton.

You can have 8 Linkshells.

About lodestone: Did they miss adding a category under "Information" where stuff like Fansites, Ask the Devs, Info about Battle Regimen belongs to?

e.g. there was a post about fansites that listed zam and core, how would I find that again?

There was also another post about crafting I can't find since it rolled out of the top page.

What's the lowest rank at which I can attempt a Rank~30 Faction Leve? 23? 25? 30?

I'm wondering if I should save up for a Rank~30 or just grab a Rank~20 as soon as it has Guild Marks...

23

Am I wasting time solo grinding as R26 GLA, getting 20-100 skill per blue/green mob?

Is this decent or could I be getting way better in a group?

[Crizto]

Pretty sure party play will give you more SP. More fun as well lol

[Ratatapa]

NVM i was an idiot

Gathering

Looking around for a grade 1 fishing spot yesterday near bearded rock, I stumbled onto grade 10 waters. I had no idea it even went up that high.

[Hyan]

Got any blue whales or leviathans from there?

[goodr]

Before I got far a mob walked up behind me and spit something on me for 3k dmg

[miokomioko]

Yeah, I think that spot technically counts as Moraby Bay. Watch out for dem snippers.

Yes, sadly you are wasting your time. Join a group in CH on crabs, if you use the party search feature, there is almost always a group going to join. (at least on my server) If unsure how to use this very nice feature (imo) Menu -> Party -> Search -> select your class -> Begin Search. That will bring up a list of every leader using the search. For CH they normally list Bloodshore as the camp. Just click on the party leaders name and click join. You can join the group from anywhere in the world. I said this in another thread, but solo grinding took me almost 3 days from 24-25 lol. In a group of 10-15 people ranging from 12-29 I get 10k+ an hour. I get skill cap almost every fight, sadly for us using shields, it combines both sword and shield for cap. (not 500 each)
