Is playing in aether bad in general when asmon is on or just catuar? Lol

Just Cactuar. Playing in Aether when Asmon is on is actually good, because it means more people queueing for things lol

Good. Say what you will about the guy, but whats been happening on his stream is not acceptable.

It's still so weird to me that the population is exploding at the end of the expansion, when we're still months from Endwalker. But I think that's actually a good time to get into it, you have months to catch up to 80 and finish the MSQ, then after that, you have 4 games worth of side content to do lol

Also when you queue into a dungeon or whatever, it will pool people from every server in the data center.

You can go to the main Aetheryte in any major city and teleport to another server in your data center. I think they also just added a feature where you can login on any server in your data center and it will log you in in your starting city on that server.

I haven't thought about it does it matter?

Certain servers have established communities, like Balmung is for RP, and Gilgamesh is for raiders, etc. But for the most part it doesn't matter

Starting today with the free trial

Good luck! Have you decided on a server? Entity and I are on Gilgamesh. Aether data center may be a bit congested though with Asmon joining

I really need to get back to Zadnor and farm mettle. This past week I've just been focusing on crafting for money and scrip. I still need two more firmament scrip mounts. I have family visiting for a week so my time to play won't be very much. So after that I should probably get back to Zadnor.

Nice! Do you guys have a discord? Friend and I on aether are looking into hardcore blu content

Yeah I do run a small discord server for my group. After we clear o12 idk how much more content we plan to do. I still haven't done any extremes on BLU at any level.

Congrats! Yeah I got mine about 10 days ago. It's such a goofy mount, but I like when they do weird unique stuff like that. I kinda hope they do more "collection" mounts. Like, put in a mount for getting 150 mounts or something.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure why exactly I expected there to be anything FF related at SE's presentation. I should have known it would just be all Marvel stuff. :|

Nintendo Network ID: papercups
3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925

Yeah as long as you unlock the areas, then in Kugane NPCs will drop the cards from those areas, and the drop rate is stupid high, even for the "rare" cards.

Is it weird that while everyone is jumping ship from WoW to play FFXIV, I'm morbidly curious to buy a WoW sub and check it out? Like I've played it a little bit before. I played it when Classic launched. I didn't get to 60 in Classic, but I remember I really really enjoyed my time with it. And a couple times that month I played retail and I remember retail being really weird. Like "3 million people play this game? where the hell is everyone?!" and that leveling was so fast, and rewards were dished out so frequently it felt like it was designed like a mobile game despite being a pay to play game. It was really weird.

Went into Bozja. I only got 2 new field notes, but, they were both used to complete the first page so that's progress. I still need like 17 though so this is going to be a long haul lol

3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925

Got my VI-S this morning from Unreal! I don't know if I want to get the Incitatus next or just get to 600 leves and then I can buy the next mount in however many months. And tomorrow I'll be stepping back into Bozja and hopefully Castrum to start getting the Field Notes I'm missing.

Also I've been watching Bellular's daily clips talking about his experience playing XIV. He straight up said "if you're playing XIV like WoW and you don't like it, the problem is you're playing it like WoW and not like a video game." lol Also Asmongold said he wants to play XIV which is interesting, but I also don't want to see a bunch of toxic 14 year olds running around spewing shit. But it's cool to see the game exploding right now, and the more mainstream exposure it gets, the better imo. I remember when I started playing there were only like a couple hundred thousand active players. There's 2.5 million active players at the moment, which is crazy to me.

3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925

Nice! My plan tomorrow is to learn then farm SoS EX then this coming week to work on my field notes. But I have family coming to visit for a while soon so I'll have to deep clean my house then I won't be able to play much for a week or so

---

Nintendo Network ID: papercups
3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925

Got the Emerald Gwiber! Later I might have a sosex learning then farm party since it's the only gwib I'm missing. I'm also still making coffee biscuits to make money to get the gil mounts.

Also I need to farm Bozja for the field notes. And maybe I can try to get into BA runs or DR Savage for those mounts?

Also I need to get back to Firmament crafting for scrip since there's mounts there I'm missing.

So much to do XD But there's plenty of time to do it!

TT mount get!

My next mount goal is to acquire all of the Bozja field notes. Which will probably be extremely annoying lol

But I already have 31/50 so maybe the rest won't be *that* bad? >____> I assume that means I have to do a LOT of DR and Dalriada

---

Nintendo Network ID: papercups
3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925

Dalriada unlocked! Now to scour instances for 2 hours looking to get in! Because why not have bad design! And yeah I might have to get an FC group together or something to do it.

How long would you say it takes to go from Rank 21 to 25 and do Dalriada?

---

Nintendo Network ID: papercups
3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925

I stepped into Zadnor this morning. In a single 3 hour lockout I went from Rank 12 to almost 21 lol

Also I only need 4 cards. Varis and the 3 from completing Zadnor.

---

Nintendo Network ID: papercups
3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925

---

Nintendo Network ID: papercups
3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925

Okay I just got all of the cards from NPCs and Packs that I can! All I need are to farm Ohashi, Memoria, and finish Zadnor and get those cards and the mount is mine!

---

Nintendo Network ID: papercups
3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925

And got the Gold Whisker card for Gyoie. Alright, 11 cards to go!

---

Nintendo Network ID: papercups
3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925

Welp got the Mistbeard card! 3% drop from a Miqo near the Missing Member lol

Annnd got the Gold-haloed Sacks card! Turns out there's a guy outside HoH that drops it, 10% lol

---

Nintendo Network ID: papercups
3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925

So for the TT mount I'm only missing 14 cards:
# 106 - Imperial Card Pack(I think there's also a guy in Azys Lla that drops this?)
# 136 - Hullbreaker Isle (Hard)
# 206 - Kikimo in Kugane (I challenged her many many times. She never gave it up)
# 214 - Gold-haloed Sacks
# 216 - Eureka Pagos
# 232 - Gyoie in Yanxia (same thing with this guy)
# 237 - Eureka Hydatos
# 238 - Kugane Ohashi (I'm actually surprised I don't have this.)
# 266 - Dream Card Pack
# 279 - Memoria Extreme (never cleared this lol)
# 296 - Win an Open Tournament
# 310 - ???
# 311 - ???
# 312 - ???

I assume the last 3 are from Zadnor. The card packs will be annoying and expensive. The dungeon and trial ones will be annoying and time consuming. I'm fairly certain there are NPCs in Kugane that drop the Eureka cards I need, but that will take forever to get them that way. Winning the Tournament... I *might* be able to do that, but fuck that lol
Overall this is very very doable, but it will be time consuming.

Yeah A Realm Reborn and Heavensward are free but you have to pay to play anything after that, which is Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and later this year Endwalker. The free trial is HUGE though. That is hundreds of hours of content you can just go play right now.

Nintendo Network ID: papercups
3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925

Got the 300 card achievement. I'm so close yet so far from that stupid mount XD

I need to win a few random cards here and there from NPCs, that won't be hard just mind numbing. I also need to get a gold sack card from HoH and I need to win an open tournament... so I'm never getting this mount lol
