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

Maybe it's because Bone Fish Hooks require only a soiled femur which is available from an NPC for 2400 gil.

How much does a Bone Fish Hook sell for at an NPC?

other hooks sell for less than 30 gil

I've no idea but a bronze nugget can be bought from an NPC for 1200. Bronze fish hooks are made in 12s with a single nugget.

It really makes no sense lol.

Didn't notice earlier but someone did on Core

Remarkable honesty there.

[Lucavi]

That's refreshing!

So... we're completely stuck.

I pretty much am in a perm. 2 to 3 person party at 25. Usually we'll have upwards of 5. Thing is, I don't know where to go for SP (gladiator (sometimes 2), pugilist, thm and lancer.) THM&LNC always duo together (me and my husband), but usually just for leves and group up for a coupleof hours on the weekend.

Been looking at other threads, but they seem to be geared more towards 10+ people? dunno.

Were doing hippos, havent been up there since before the update so I don't know how sp is, or if it's still good, when is a good time to move on to somewhere else for a small party. Any ideas?

[Carraway]

Hippos should be all right still. Most people are going for Iron Coblyns but Nanawa tends to be packed.

Is there any way to set a custom resolution? I got my 24" monitor back today after 2 and a half months, set the resolution to 1920x1200 only to find they'd sent me back my monitor unrepaired. So it has to go back and I'm on my 19" again.

Problem is I am pretty sure the resolution I used for my 19" no longer exists in the settings. I can't remember what it was. 1440x900 is my screen resolution but it's no good playing in windowed mode with that due to the task bar at the bottom (which I want to keep). I want something around 1440x850. There's a 1280x854 but that seems to leave a big gap left or right of the game, I definitely wasn't using that one. Right now I'm using 1368x768 but that's leaving a big gap above/below. Maybe that's what I always used.

But yeah, is there any way to set a custom one like 1440x854?

Is there a reason that my Wind Affinity won't go over 184?

[Wycor]

Any Botanist 30+ can tell me how to trigger the CS or the instance for the classquest r30 on the two ??? market on the map?

[Carraway]

Is there a reason that my Wind Affinity won't go over 184?

Hard cap.

[miokomioko]

Hard cap.

Is that based on your current physical level?

[Carraway]

Is that based on your current physical level?

It's a total hard cap based on nothing. All stats and affinities cap at 184 right now, regardless of anything else.

[miokomioko]

Oh, weird... does 184 even make sense mathematically?

[Grey Jorildyn]

Does anything in FFXIV make sense? <- random speculation/question.

Applying logic to this game incurs what I call a "logic foul". It's like a party foul.

[miokomioko]

It could make some sense considering the current level cap and the formulas for rank-related stat caps and whatnot. For example, if a value in a game capped at 255, I wouldn't question that. Just curious, not trying to invite flames.

[Riposte]

Didn't SE post a chart of quest access ranks? I simply can't find it.

[miokomioko]

I think this is it

http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...39271b62246c3b

Main storyline: 8 > 15 > 20 > 26 > 34 > 38 > 42 > 46
Class quests: 20 > 30 > 36
Regional leves: 13 > 23 > 33
Local leves: 5 > 10 > 15 > 20 > 25 > 30 > 35 > 40 > 45

And did hippos last night for a while.
I was fine with the exp, simply because I was *GETTING* Exp (I was 15k behind my husband, whom I level 100% of the time with, cause of the random sp crap before Nov update). Hippos died in about... 20-30 seconds, got about 80-99 sp each. 5 of us from 25-27(thm, gld, gld, lnc, pug). Dropped the level 27 pug for a few fights, got 102sp >_>
Then the anti-leve pug was like "I hate saying this, but... lets go do leves instead". I got sick, went to bed, so I can't say what we were going to get.


and the level 26 story thing, might be why a few of our NPC ls pearls flashed when we hit dragon head, but my husband's didn't.. hm.

[clobetasol]
