Poll of the Day > Final Fantasy XIV: Stormthread

(+) Yeah! (+)

Looking at some material prices on the market board, I believe my next two classes I will be doing the Grade 4 Experts for will be Goldsmith and Armorer. The others are easily doable, especially with my rich ass, but there is such a thing as recognizing when prices aren't worth the goods, ya know?

Are they still not letting you play for free? SOmeone please @ me and tell me.

@papercup Why didn't you @ me?

Good to hear, when did they bring that back?

@EchoBaz Sorry about that, how's this?

And the free trial has been in for a couple years now. But with the rush of players last year, paying players got login priority, so only recently did free trial players get to really come back. Also the afk timer is being removed soon I believe

I finally got my Starbird minion tonight. Yay for that.

Then I joined a shark boat, and rng said no to half the party, so none of us got the title/achievement that run. I got so close to 16k points too. ;-;

Alphinaud is an asshole.

He gets better later

I made another attempt at the Shark achievement in Ocean Fishing tonight. Not only did I get it, but I got the achievements for the seagulls (yay, another minion), 16k points, and 20k points all on the same boat. That was a cool 60 achievement points.

This coming week I plan to do my Grade 4 Experts for Goldsmith, which should knock out a couple achievements, but also will give more than enough skybuilder scrips to nab my last Firmament mount. I also intend to finish the fourth last weapon in Hydatos and maybe finish the x700 achievement/title for Warrior.

Then we shall see if patch 6.15 is the following week, or if I'll have the time to work on more Experts or Hydatos Crystal grinding before the new beast tribe, Hildi, etc. The patch will probably be closer to the end of June, but I like to be ready for sooner.

Thanks to the housing boom, a raw mat that is easy to gather 61-68 of every time the node comes up is currently going for over 900 gil a piece--instead of the usual 200-400 depending on demand levels--on our server. The crafted mat you make from three pieces of it is going for over 3k, normal quality. This may or may not have come due to the recent housing boom, but either way I am making a reasonable amount of gil off of it.

Not that I actually need more gil, as you know. <_<

Ayy Make it Rain is back on already

Translated parts of an interview with Yoshi-P. Contains some 6.0 and 6.1 spoilers!

I already found the game NPCs in the Saucer. Sadly, four of them are whom you speak to during the event quest, with a fifth tied to one of them in a repeated sequence--pirate chick stands waiting in one room, gets angry and storms off, and the man she's waiting for arrives before looking around and leaving in confusion--and the last one spotted are the trio of Loporrits. I took screenshots. So I'm done with the event aside from the mgp bonus.

Looking at this week's Glam Sham, I'd need to either grind out Gubal nm and Sirensong Sea for caster pieces, or spend 20k mgp . . . in order to make an extra 40k mgp before buffs. <_<

Just finished Stormblood

Just finished Stormblood

Congrats! Stormblood 3.0 or are you heading into Shadowbringers?

Started working on Eureka recently, I'd been putting it off because of what I'd heard of it, but it has the last triple triad cards I need, and it actually seems quite fun, a little annoying but not nearly as bad as I'd been told it was.

Zenos/Shinryu or the Tsuko fight and beyond?

Played FF14 on a friends account again.

Redid the final dungeon for the CORE game, and did a a quest to take out the revived Ifrit. Sure is fun being in magitek, and fighting The Ultima Weapon! And the way that you defeat LaeaBrea is so cool! And then the death star like escape!

Later I fought Garuda, that opening cutscene was so cool! And so is this video

The Titan fight is cool too, and so is this video!

Finally starting FF14 v2.2!

Progressed through the main quest more, it was good for a while, then led to me having to play hide and go seek with some kids, so I decided to stop playing, and play another online game instead..

Let me just say, right now, that Rowena's mind is a scary, scary place. Thanks, Square. lol

an fc friend of mine grinded out the mount then stopped playing ;(

Returned to the Maniac Manor, aka Haukke Manor (Hard)which was intense and fun.

Then continued the 2.2 Storyline where Leviathan was summoned, then did Moldy City The Lost City of Amdapor dungeon. It was easy and fun up until the iconic bosss Diabolos, then it was intense and fun! And he ran away at the end.

Leviathan in Final Fantasy 14! Damn this was a cool cutscene, with Leviathan's water cannons! Super beautiful looking area, loved this so much!

This is really cool too!

@Entity13

It as in what?

The the ARR endgame?

The Boss Themes?

What?

I can tell you what I just watched was awesome, specifically...

Final Fantasy 14 (The Best MMORPG, PC)

Finished ARR endgame 2.2, yay!

Went into the Proving Grounds dungeon, aka Halatali (Hard) It was simple and fun!

Binding Coil of Bahamut Time...

...Is something I skipped once I realized that this was uber hard! Instead I watched parts of it.

Here's a cool video with the theme that plays during Final Fantasy XIV's Bahamut Primal fight.

This is fucking metal!

On a side note, I'm playing Genshin at the same time.

Genshin Impact(Great Online Co-Op RPG)

Did Xingqiu's quest. Went from being boring to a a super depressing story about what might as well be a mega-corporation shaking down a passionate book lover. Definately spoke to me as someone that hates capitalism, and loves novels. More importantly it got me out of my depressing funk, so yay! Still feel like I have no energy, but it stopped me from feeling like a zombie.

It was a lot longer than I remember too, considering that it's just one quest.

My sub runs out on Saturday don't think I have many reasons to renew it :( Logged on during weekly reset to help out with Aglaia same night as the new tribal quest but wasn't even interested in starting it. might be time for a break but don't have many volunteers to help out running the fc

So in the course of about two hours, I managed to make 85 of the Grade 4 goldsmith experts, in 87 attempts. With those scrips I grabbed my last Firmament mount for myself, two emotes, and an orchestrion roll. With the Kupo of Fortune thing, I got first prize once, but the minion from that was one I'd acquired some time ago; however, one of the second prize winnings was a partition worth over 300k.

Because we all know I need more money, in this game, right?

Anywho, I am thinking I should grind out some version of the second EW trial so I can get the card. That way, I can try to get the new tribe's two cards asap, and maybe have more cards than Auric for however long that'll last. lmao

This morning I met somebody else grinding out vouchers in Elpis and we decided to do roulettes together. After an hour he was just like "by the way, I'm a bit low on gil, can you spare a few million?" No...? I don't even have 20 million atm, and I need to build my gil reserves back up lol

Yesterday someone named Kiki Bear found me in Limsa and was hugging me because my name is Jenny Bear lol

That is just too cute @Jen0125 Mind if I ask what Data Center you're on?

Girlfriend helped me set up a free account so I can play this on my own now, yaaaaaaaay!

Playing on a server with low population, so it gives double exp, and from what I can tell, double gold, and moogle coin rewards too(Moogle coins are for the Gold Saucer) Was so excited to finally play that I played it for like 30 hours straight, then got some sleep and played some more, finally taking a break when I was starting to feel burnt out. Mostly played as a Thamaturge/Black Mage, then I decided to take a break from the Main Story Quest as I feel like I got stuck in huge filler territory, and level up a Conjurer to level 30 so I could get the Unicorn Mount, which is awesome! I also have a Chocobo as well!

Then I decided to level an Arcanist to 30 so I could make it a summoner...after spending like 45 hours on this game, I just really really needed a break! Probably gonna avoid this for a few days and play more Genshin and Pathfinder! Sure hope the MSQ gets really great again, as I feel like I spent like 3 hours reading skimmable dialogue, which really sucks because I was super enjoying my time between the setup for the fire god Ifrit, and the remembrance ceremonies for all 3 countries after this. There was some sorta interesting stuff dealing with stopping the Slyphs from summoning the Lighting God Ramuh, but other than that I just kinda wished I could skip most of it and move to something interesting again. It's such a shame!

I wanna end this on something positive though, and that is that I really really enjoy Triple Traid(the card game) Super happy that The Gold Saucer is part of the free trial!

I'm on Siren

i think i'm gonna change from a cat lady to a dragon lady today

i did it

I have hit 1300 runs of Mentor Roulette this morning. 700 to go to the mount, and I can proceed to never touch Mentor anything ever again. lol

Tonight, when I get home from work, I intend to do my tribal dailies and some leve turn-ins while dinner is cooking, and then FATE grinding in one of the latter Endwalker zones until I have about 500 of those gemstones (so 35 FATEs). Then I can call it a day, once I pick up the orchestrion roll and gemstone voucher.

My third last Eureka weapon is done. Less than 700 crystals to go, and that grind is over.

So. Less than a dozen posts to go on this topic. Threadbringers for the next one, or what? =p

i just realized you can do dungeons unsynced and got all the shiny unicorn mounts from ARR/HW by myself lol

Yeah, this topic is almost done, I could make the next one, but I'd rather someone else that is a bigger fan that understand the game more does.

@papercup Please make the next topic so I don't have to.

I was really hoping to not have to make this topic, but we're 3 posts away from it closing, and my requests for someone with more passion and knowledge on the game to make the next topic have fallen on deaf ears sadly.

Here's the link to the next topic!
