Normal raids are very easy, you shouldn't have a problem there, extreme trials will be harder than everything you've experienced so far, I don't remember the specific item level for them but I'm pretty sure you're above them, though I never see learning/clear groups anymore so unless you can team with friends it'll be hard to find people.
Normal raids are a lot easier than an extreme trial. You can go in blind with them, have multiple deaths, and generally clear them within 10 mins without any prior knowledge of the fight. Extreme trials on the other hand are a little bit more punishing, have enrage timers, and require people to have a general idea of the fight to avoid mechanics wiping the run.
Sadly I don't think it'll change, I honestly think FFXIV has the most casual playerbase of any MMO I've played (and it's mainly due to how the game is designed), the majority of the playerbase are here for the story and once that's done they leave and come back for the next (you can already feel how empty the game is these days), nobody cares about PvP, dungeons don't drop anything worthwhile, hell even Savage drops are disappointing, but SE seems to be fine with this and I doubt they will change the formula.
I was definitely pleasantly surprised to see that repairs begin 10 levels below the item's job level requirement.
hum It might be a time thing then, I stopped doing all hw ones after hitting max rank, done Ananta prob twice over because how fast they are
Small housing plots are usually in the low 3 mil range plus 450k for the house itself, 6 mil is more than enough
Oh okay! Thank you both for the answers! I was wondering why the price was so high considering that I was repeatedly told that it was around 4 mil plus fees. I feel a lot better now! And now I think I will stop visiting that subreddit lol.
Yeah this is very true. I just find it sad because XIV is THE MMO for me in terms of style, jobs, combat, boss designs and such. I really LOVE the game but rarely see a reason to play.
I feel like SE tried to dive into the grindy stuff with... eeeh what was it called in HW, the content that had RNG gear.. Diaedem? I was on a break back then but if I remember correctly you could get some really good stuff from there if you got the good stat rolls? Which then evolved into Eureka.
FWIW, you don't absolutely need 5-6 mil before 5.1. The plots are low 3 mil. There's a demolition timer of 45 days since the last time you went in the house that starts when you buy the plot. Therefore, if you have barely enough money to buy the plot, you have another 45 days to scrape together 450k to build the house and enter it.
Uhhhhh. Not as far as i know. It was really meant for parties, like large parties. I hope they revamp it to be single player and quick
I agree somewhat, my guild never pushed M+ on it's memebers but of course it was a REALLY good bonus if you did em. Main problem for me with M+ was that it never ended, you could always push higher and higher and hope RNG blessed you with forged stuff. But I see your point which is why I also said glam gear would be fine as well, somewhat. Either way, game needs more stuff for us to work towards that actually requires us to do content that is either really fun OR challenging, or both :P
I'd be totally down for glam rewards. I just don't like having a long list of stuff I feel like I *have* to do every day/week or I'm going to fall behind.
I'm hoping maybe with the PS5 release and the inevitable port, they might do some HD texture pack kind of thing for PS5/PC. I don't think they have to rework the engine too much, the game looks great for the most part, but character textures are really really bad on most stuff. It's even worse that they don't bother making story characters have higher textures even though they only appear in cutscenes/personnal instances.
I'd argue that might be as bad as you think. Spending time on textures for stuff you only see in cutscenes/instances is taking time away that could be spent on stuff you'd see everywhere.
This time of the day Jenova is dead even with healer privilege.
The problem is these characters are central parts of the story and are often in cutscenes that have them zoomed in, where you can clearly see how terrible the textures are. Obviously it'd come at a cost, but we're talking 20ish characters per expansion or so that'd need higher quality textures, a lot being reused for several patches or even expansions(Kan-E-Senna hasn't changed her robe in like 6years for example). Not 8k textures either, just not PS3 pixel paste stuff they've been doing.
I didn't have that experience personally. The 4ish months leading up to Shadowbringers I did all things Eureka and it was pretty populated. Got my Ozma mount too, even that late.
I was sad to find it dead before Shadowbringers even came out.
Eureka will probbs get way easer in a
They don't look like dog shit
Pull two packs at the start and see how your healer/DPS handle it. Use a cooldown if you're pulling more than one pack. If it goes well and you don't have to blow all your cooldowns on that first pull, pull two again. You'll get a feel for it eventually. It's generally easier at higher levels when you have more tools available to you.
You're very close. The last patch is like an hour's worth of quests at most.
It's the command missions, not the squadron. You have to do the dungeons
