On Spiritbonding - The rule of thumb is : Gathering Materia is pretty much low return. There are some that will actually have good return (Guerdon 1/2s - Guerdon 1s are around 25k/30k a pop and they can come from entry level gear), Grasp IVs (necessary for right-hand melds but don't sell more than one at a time), but overall crafting materia tends to yield better results for your time. Although if you're SBing to avoid the market like I often did, it's not a waste of time to do these. Crafting Materia is a much safer, less lucrative alternative to battlecraft materia. While you won't get the returns you'll see on Savage Might IVs or Savage Aim IVs, you'll see much more steady returns by virtue of this category being unable to yield any elemental or primary stat materia. All the materia obtained from crafting (and gathering) materia can be sold at a profit most likely. Battlecraft Materia is for gamblers. The returns can be massive (upwards of 500k-600k for an in-demand level IV materia) but the RNG can screw you over in all sorts of ways. Giving you a bad (elemental or primary stat, but if you got a Vitality you might be lucky - they sometimes sell quite well) materia, giving you a level III (still good, just not the mad amounts of cash you want), etc. Most of this is info you'd get on your own so that's not much of a problem sharing it.

I can HQ anything consistently up to 2-star.

It doesn't help that I have absolutely no idea where to start looking when it comes to stuff to make. I've everything at 50, but damned if I don't need money to progress into anything.

Really wish the market boards were more user-friendly.

It's just a shame there's really no other major hubs to meet people in, because when I feel like fishing for some RP with Chao I really don't have much in the way of options of where to go. And that's not even considering that her story basically has her living in Ul'dah for now. This is something that really, truly, absolutely, irritates me to no end. If you do not care for the Quicksand, there are MYRIADS of unused places you can make into potential RP hubs. Settle on one, go chill there, inform others so that they know hey we don't have to go to the Quicksand anymore.

Well, Hildy certainly went... Heavensward at the end of that. So I'd wager we won't see him until then. Manderville Gold Saucer? I'd say financed by Godbert.

I'm not all too sure what you're trying to imply with this statement. Don't miquote fall under the umbrella subject of racial discussion? That inevitably, any thread speaking of Eorzean races will be all about the catbois/gals, more specifically, the tribal part of it.

Can't craft it yet. But it's part of a glamour I want to make.

i bought a catboi for a date And here are pictures of the event once more : Was a fun night!

Screenie of the person that bought Kell, trying to roll in people. Once again, you can't see much of Kell because DARKNESS IS NOT HIS FRIEND ;.;

Complications with player housing limit led us to being outside. Apologies to all the /yell spam occurring in Ward 5 of Lavender Beds right now.

It's today. Please come in large numbers folks. This should be a fun event.

Ah, yeah. So we were only missing Baderon? I'd not be surprised to see Buscarron too.

This thread I think. Yeah I expected Baderon to show up after Momodi did - Likely Mother Mionne will show up as well.

I'm just super sour about crafting and raiding and everything on this game right now. It's not even burnout, I'm just too stupid to make cash while crafting and too bad at the game to actually do anything of worth.

Well, leveling everything to 50 was a giant colossal waste of time and gil I guess. I have no idea what people fucking want that isn't already cornered by people who've got more buying power than I do, and each time I find the one thing I guess I could craft for not a lot it ends up sinking by a metric fuckton the next day. I see no point in advising anyone to pick up crafting honestly. And gathering's even worse as far as making money goes.

My guess is no, it's not needed except by the WoL because he needs to learn the skills super fast. The soul crystals also double as a plot device for several jobs if not all of them. The only ones I can clearly remember it doesn't is SMN/SCH.

Yah, different systems all around and in FF8 levels didn't mean jack since you could junction. Safe to assume XIV WoL would be the same as the protagonist in all the FFs in terms of "canon" (lol) strength.

Not necessarily - Cloud can regularly hit 9999 with best stats and twinked out materia, whereas if you get that kind of damage on Warren I'm callin' the GMs. It's all different systems where bigger doesn't mean better because of how strength is converted to attack power and stuff like that. And that doesn't include bugs like... Evade not actually doing anything in FF6.

A lot of our problems stem from the fact that we're on Balmung.

Wait, so they said they want to make houses more useful... when a good portion of people don't even have access to one. Please use the auto-translate function Because I seriously do not get it.

I keep hearing that but I see absolutely nothing that actually would make a ton of cash were I to make it. I'm poor as fuck, have everything 50'd except DoW/DoM (granted, I have all of right-side full melded exception Off-Hand). So to me, that's just a blatant lie people keep parroting. I've made more money from selling Sealants (which I soon need to hoard), gathering Clusters and Spiritbonding than I've ever made while crafting. Dunno when those millions of gil were, but they sure as hell weren't recent.

...am ...am I the only one who doesn't want XIV to be XI redux?

I've an inkling because I work in vidja game QA so it's something I've seen before (obviously can't say where when and how). * * * anyhoo, DPS queues are annoying amirite?

You know what's weird? In most games that have these kind of lobbies you'll have a hard time populating a full one unless there's a ton of people connecting because if like... 5 people connect at the same time you've got a good chance of seeing a 3 person lobby and a 2 people one. So that they went with "must fill 24/24/24" is mind boggling to me.
