Well.. there's another question I wanted to ask at some point.. I'm a veteran WoW RPer and I know that magic in WoW can pretty much do anything. Like.. Magic has veeeery few limitations there. Now how is that with Aether? How far can one go with aether? Are there clear limitation and restrictions in the use of Aether that WoWs magic doesn't really have. Also, your name was very familiar to me Faye. You helped me on my last post I made on this forum 4 years ago

Hello, it's been.. quite a while since I have been on this forum and am not sure where to put this question properly.. So I'll just ask and see. I've recently been active on FFXIV again and been rolling around Ul'dah and been looking at the new adventure plates and I've been noticing something. There have been people saying one can use their Aether to change their weapons.. Like.. Carrying a simple sword then switching/changing it to a greataxe using aether to change their fighting style. I'm not quite sure how this would work, IF this would work. But I do know that if this is a thing, if this is properly possible.. without the use of soulstones preferably.. I would very much like to know as it's an interesting concept. Also don't know if this is a topic already here so I apologize of I'm just.. being a dumb.

Also Faye.. I love your avatar ^^ It's a very nice artstyle! ^^

I wasn't planning on it though. I have 8 chars on Balmung and have RP'ed here before, though it was very on and off so to say. I am not one for realm hopping. I have 8 chars on Balmung which I am happy with. Though.. One I am currently still trying to figure out "class"-wise. I actually made a thread asking about that too in uh.. can't remember.. where you ask help with character creation. Thank you! Balmungs RP is all over the place I know. But I am just very unlucky in finding decent RP around the time that I am about to RP. I tend to avoid the quicksand, because RP is found there very single minute of the day but.. As far as I have seen, and I don't mean to judge too far, I am sure there are good people there.. but.. As far as I have seen, Quicksand RP makes me cringe a bit. But I am in a LS for Au Ra and they post the events for the day everyday using a bot, I think, but all of those are american hours, so for me.. that's in the middle of the night, so that's rather inconvenient.

Hello, I have recently made a new char, an Elezen Duskwright that I made in resemblance of a Drow because.. I always loved Drows. However.. I am struggling to figure out which class I should make him IC. I was debating between two, one of them I have a little bit more worked out than the other. First one: Magic/Aether Martial Artist. Basically, a Pugilist/Monk that focuses on his physical prowess aswell as magical. He would be someone that would travel the world to learn different forms of martial arts, eventually perhaps, creating his own unique style, so that he has a way to counter other styles if needed. However, he also tries to implement magic with it, by one way or another, how exactly, I am still trying to figure out, perhaps he has magical stones in his armguards or fist weapons, through which he can channel aether. Any tips in this regard is always appreciated aswell. (This has been on my mind since Stormblood came out actually. Since I saw Lyse and the Warrior of Light dish it out in Gyr Abania ontop of the hand. That kinda.. Dragon Ball/Avatar(Bender) thing has always been an interest of mine, aswell as I love martial arts IRL too.) Second: A more typical Dragoon. Nothing too special really, but Dragoons in itself are already pretty damn awesome in my eyes. And work pretty well with the idea of a Drow-like character. Being a Dragon Slaying Drow just seems like a perfect fit on any level. Now I have to say, making another char so that I can have both idea's isn't an option. My char slots are filled up and I am not in the habit of realm jumping. So this has been bothering me for quite a while already. And whenever I start to lean to one side, I come up with something or find out something that pulls me back to the middle. One is more.. unorthodox for an Elezen I assume and more specific, while the other is more befitting and standard. I do not know of their stories, never finished any of them and I rather hate leveling so I want to try and avoid leveling one, not liking it and then forced to level the other. Now my question/discussion topic is.. What do you guys think would be a fun idea to play and do you perhaps have any tips/idea's that could help me decide what could potentionally more enjoyable. I know that this is completely dependable on personal preferance, but I always enjoy getting imput from other people.

Goodday! My names WhiskyDonut and I finally decided to do an introduction here. I have been playing FFXIV on and off for several years now but never really managed to get into some proper RP due to several issues. I play on Balmung and there's the first.. I'm an EU player (and not even an english one so my english may be a bit off). So often, RP happens in the middle of the night for me when I am not online. My main character is Saidan Dotharl, a big ol' grumpy pants which has recently taken a shine to the Odachi and Dark Knight magic. Going to try and work him into a sorta.. DRK/SAM Hybrid. Other than him, I have several other chars of various personalities, though most of them are fighters of some sort. As my title says.. I am a returning Casual RPer, I don't RP non-stop and defenatly doesnt always take priority over other things like it used to. I can however, become a hardcore RPer again with the right setting. Just, needing to find my place, ye know? Right, suppose that's all I have to say for now, if people have any questions feel free to ask and I will answer at my earliest convenience. ^^ Also, I am terrible at doing these things so, ya. I tried ok!

I know that slavers are despised and hunted. However, so are drugdealers IRL, yet they still exist. Ofcourse they're not going to openly admit to anyone that they deal in slaves aswell as other merchandise. But to make it clear and obvious for people, Slavery, Slave-wranglers is allot easier to understand then "dubious merchandise of the fleshly sort". And while I am aware that I will need to change some aspects and idea's in the guild, slavery is not going to be one of them. But I thank you for your thoughts.

This is what I am trying to do. The Language I can cover by saying it is their personal way of communicating and/or a sort of code. And I do know that the lore of Final Fantasy is completely different, I am just mentioning WoW because I'm giving credit to the people that originally created this guild on WoW and I only bring it into the world of Eorzea. I am not good at politics whatsoever, so am hoping that I will find someone interested in the concept and willing to help me out with politics and diplomacy both IC and OOC. The hostility part I may change to neutral/aggresive status. Aslong they people leave them alone, they won't bite back. But I thank you for your thoughts.

Thank you for unarchiving this thread. ----- While the Thread is for now somewhat small, I shall work on putting in some general rules and funfacts about the FC. Please be patient with me for I am a fairly new Guild/FC leader with many attempts on my name, but no succeeds yet. ----- I am currently looking for someone that could help me run the FC OOC'ly and mayhap IC'ly. As I have said above, I am fairly new and can use all the help I can get to get this FC up and running!

The Sandstorm Bandits are a band of notorious nomadic sell-swords, smugglers, slave-wranglers and weapon traders. They are mostly found in the area's of Thanalan and the Sagolii desert. Barely venturing into Ul'dah. Their culture is hardened and adapted to the deep deserts and rough canyons, their society built around survival of the fittest. Those who have encountered the Sandstorm Bandits relay tales of a very fickle sense of morality and an amiability towards the philosophy of "the ends justify the means." They are said to be vicious, capable fighters with few allies, treating the Eorzean Alliance and Garleans with equal measures of estrangement, if not downright hostility. (( This is an EU Bandit/Slave FC, based upon 1001 Night/Arabic theme. The original guild has been created on World of Warcraft by Rasheed and Hasheem Al-Fayed aswell as the Language used by the Sandstorm even on FFXIV. All credit goes to them. I took this idea up into FFXIV because I love it and I think people here will enjoy it aswell. If you wish to apply to the guild as Slave or Bandit, you can do so here or send an Application to the FC on Balmung. Or if you wish to know more, you can contact me here by PM or /tell in-game. ))
