There should be a blue quest there that unlocks squadrons it's weird you haven't seen it yet.

I think when I was a a addler, I had already talked to the guy and had him explain it to me. Is it because I changed I no longer need it explained

What's the best place to read about the cross class changes?

Also, level 33 - how do I access the casino thing?

I'd tell you if the devs bothered to explain it themselves.
The most we know is that basically cross-classes will now go into the common pool and are unlocked for all jobs that need them rather than requiring you to obtain them separately from classes they're initially attached to.

Gold Saucer unlock quest is in Ul'dah, should be pretty close to the main aetheryte.
 
Resubbed to the game today after quitting right before Heavensward as a lvl 37 Warrior and I'm not sure about my class at the moment (iirc last time I played people got pissed at me for somethig during a raid).
I've read that it's smart to get the Brand-new Ring from the Hall of the Novice before leveling another classes so that will be my first goal.

I believe the ring will only boost you until lvl 30 and WAR is supposedly THE offtank in raids so shouldn't be any problems with how desirable they are.

I'll probably start to level an Archer or Thaumaturge with the ring.
Isn't the tank role supposed to be the hardest one to play in MMORPGS with keeping the aggro all the time? This is the first MMORPG for me and I'm not sure about all the roles yet, have to read some guides/watch videos in the next few days.

Being able to coordinate with people over voice chat makes a world of difference (even though I tend to call out literally every important healing move I make when I'm playing Scholar) because my FC friends can always call out mechanics or tank busters and direct them to me and vice versa.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.

Yeah if you already did the quest and changed Grand Companies you don't need to do it again. Just go to your GC area and look for the door nearby to enter your barracks.

Oh do they only send them out once a week? That would explain why the person I had one sent to never got it before they resubbed the next day.

Well that is what I am thinking based on my Google searching but I haven't found a definitive answer other than potentially every Tuesday.

That sucked. Wiped on the Floor 80 boss on PotD. One more attack would have killed it, but it got off it's instant wipe move.
 
Picked up the first expansion, because why not? was only $10 ether way.

Granted, I have no active sub, so I can't actually play it, but it's the thought that counts.
 
Heya :)
Are there any level 60 WHM controller-users in here that would care to share their hotbar(s) setup? Images or otherwise? Planning to sort of revisit the job and am kinda stuck..!! any help with it would be appreciated!! :)

80 and 90 cleared. Just 10 more floors and I can start grinding the rest of the stats on my gear so I can get the Kinna weapon.

How exactly is the Caim of Passage activated? I'm on level 90 and still don't understand how you activate it.

S Rank Hunt in East Shroud dead. I missed one earlier when I was in PotD. I hate missing those things. They give good points.
 
Little Ladies' Event stuff was good. New outfits and a new emote.

I like how even with the mog station store they still give us free stuff every so often with the events.

Just hopped onto the FFXIV hype train, got FFXIV and the Heavensward expansion. League of Legends finally bored me after playing it for 5 years, game is pretty stale now, and I want to keep playing something on my PC other than BF1 and FFXIV looks great. Going to be my first MMO ever really, I played around with WoW back in middle school but I never got into it.

What are some tips for newcomers?

Is there a 3rd party voice program the fanbase prefers?

Here are my system specs-

Intel i5-4590s @ 3.0 Ghz

8gb's of memory

Nvidia 1050 TI graphics card

Will I be able to run the game smoothly at least medium settings?

Ugh I hate racist trolls and asshole players when running Alex. The racist ones caused group to wipe because they weren't following mechanics and then the asshole was commenting on a scholars healing even though it was fine and the fight was finished.

Sometimes it sucks dealing with shitty players in the community.

Starting areas don't really matter, you'll visit the rest with Main Scenario eventually.
Make sure to do your class quests to unlock important skills.
Ignore non-vital sidequests, Main Story, Dungeons & Job Quests should be your priority unless you're unlocking stuff that's useful & helpful. Palace of the dead for example Also this is REALLY good for starting classes if you're wanting to practice your class and get a good feel for it.
Your settings should be fine for Medium/High.
Also Guilds (Free Company) might randomly invite you to theirs as you progress through the game. If you're not up for joining until later then just decline.
Most Free Companies & Players use Discord but I do know a few that use Teamspeak too.

Hope this information helps.

I have a lot of PS3 screenshots I should probably sort out.

Although I'm looking over some of them, and apparently we held our pre-Heavensward party where there's a grave, so........

So last night I find the guy selling paintings, think "cool!" and buy like 20 paintings to put up in my house and apartment.

Then I go to put them up and realize you have to craft or buy frames to actually put them up. Fuck. Now I have 20 paintings clogging up my inventory.
 
Your character looks awesome. Most catgirls I see look pretty generic.

Thanks.

It took many attempts in the Character Creator. At first I was a Highlander, then Midlander, Miqo'te, then Au Ra when Heavensward came out then I eventually settled on what you see now.

Don't think I'm going to be making any further changes.

Biggest tip I can give is to start fresh multiple times in the CC and try to go for different options. Make a bunch of different characters and save what you like then narrow the list down after you've made a handful. I think this way you usually discover some good combinations that weren't apparent on your first attempt at making a character.

Exactly what I did with my Elezen and I haven't really seen anyone that exactly looks like her. I appreciate people that take time to create their characters so they don't end up looking as bland as an npc. This happened with my first hyur... she looked so bland and generic. Also, I agree... niice catgirl!
 
Gonna take a quick sec to bump my above post asking about WHM hotbar setup for any controller users out there ^^;
Yeah I feel fortunate to have never had a bad experience.

Then again, I don't run savage so that's probably why LOL

Wazzy and I weren't even running Savage which is the sad thing :( just regular Alex. Haha
 
Just finished the latest Hildibrand stuff. Can't wait to see what adventures he will have in Stormblood.

The same thing happened to me. My first couple characters looked pretty generic until I spent some hours hammering out a bunch of different options.

I haven't seen a character that looks like mine yet so I'm pretty happy and thanks again.

i made a thing lol xtech is a rapper now.
album coming soon

Gpose is one of the best features they have added for a while
(other than cross server PF)
. I haven't messed with it in group settings so that's something that's on my list to experiment with.
