Can you get multiple anima weapons? Ardashir warns about making sure you are on the class you want before proceeding.

For glamours they look pretty nice and while its a grind I'll do it at least once.

Yep you can totally get all of them. The only restriction is that you can only do the quests 1 at a time. For example, you can't hold multiples of the luminous crystal step quest for different jobs at the same time. However once you finish that quest, you can do it again with another job.

Is the company still accepting new members? I am still new to this game and wanted to play it again. Figure I start with a new character, instead of my old one, since I am still learning all the classes and don't remember anything in the main story.

Just a note, if you are going to watch FFXIV OST vids on youtube (I do it all the time while working) I prefer do use Mekkah Dee's ones. Soken wrote once that he doesn't mind if people just play with all sound effects turned off except for the music and post those videos (this is what Mekkah Dee does) but he doesn't like people datamining the sound files and posting them. He specifically called out dudewhereismyspoon for doing this. Link

Gonna try to do a BA learning run tomorrow on Primal if anyone here is interested. Be online at 8:50 pm est and send me a tell in game (Victor Strange@Ultros) if you wanna join. It might take a while to find an instance for us so keep that in mind before joining.

Expansion coming soon. There was a similar marketing presence ramp up when stormblood came out with the billboard ad at e3, the blood drive van, the Carl's Jr. & Mrs Freshley promos.

Hydatos is just full of drama, isn't it. I've seen so many people bitching about those portals.

Kinda wish NMs spawned faster. I'm gonna AFK my way to this relic.

yeah last night i was planning to experience BA for the 1st time until the party told me the portals bullshit and its individual entry
people leaving ovni early to camp and making it reset, etc
too much bullshit and so i'm not gonna bother with BA until they change something
how can you design a dungeon that needs high coordination but purposely make it hard for people from the same party to join together? it's really fucked up

Cleared Omega normal today. Feel a little sad to have that behind me, 8-person content is my favourite part of XIV and there's a lot less of it to go now.

I wish there was a sale for the complete edition on PS4. I played for over 5-6 years on PC and my desktop died last year. Going to jump back in when it drops in price right before the new expansion launch.

That and it's a bit of a stretch from now to the end of June, so they need some new blood signing up. Sure there are events and 4.5 MSQ part 2, but anecdotally this lull between one expansion's final patch and the next expansion is XIV at its lowest activity. At least Eureka seems to be drumming up more active subs than Diadem ever did.

I've had to blacklist about 10 people in PvP this week because I hate players who spam the chatbox with callouts and sound effects like seven times per second.

I can see the map dude. I don't need your danger bongos. The constant callouts might help some people but I can't stand it.

I also had a dude complaining about me "crafting too loud" near the summoning bell (wut). I ignored him but he kept being annoying so I called over some FC mates to come craft with me. He soon had to deal with five crafters all crafting as much as they could in a circle around him until he left. Got a laugh out of me.

Posted the wrong time for the Primal BA learning run. Meant to say 8:50 pm EST. Jump into the fc discord eureka channel or send me a tell in game around that time to join us if you're on Primal. Character name: Victor Strange@Ultros. Let me know if you wanna join us B.K.

To be fair some of the crafting jobs do a lot more noises than others, especially certain animations. The BSM/ARM hammering and the CRP sawing stuff for example is more irritating than the alchemy potion noises and what not.

That said, it's a really weird thing to complain about, you can turn off sounds from other players(I did several times when someone decided to come fish right on top of me even though there was a ton of room to go somewhere else, since then I couldn't rely on sound to fish while alt tabbed) and you can just move to another bell otherwise. And bells pretty much ALWAYS have crafters around them other than maybe Ishgard because there's so few people.

You can't really go to Limsa's main bell and not have like 3crafters, one lala/catgirl spamming laugh emotes and some idiots spamming some DRK spells. But the thing is you can literally walk 10steps and go to the 2nd bell next to the retainer vocate and there's barely anyone there, or you can walk further down to Hawker's Alley bell, or TP to your FC to use the bell there or whatever, it's really such a non issue.

Sure, crafting can be loud and annoying. But he was just being very obnoxious about it instead of just walking away. I was also in Gridania, it's not like I was in a heavily populated space. :P

/p I see your Berserk Pacification macro and acknowledge your suffering
/p I do not plan to cleanse you
/p I can make noises too, check it out <se.2> <se.12>

I vividly remember running into a Warrior because they had the most obnoxious Berserk macro using ALL THE SOUNDS to count down the individual seconds, and I was seconds away from leaving because of it.

Danger Bongos are fine if there's a big mechanic like Ancient Flare that can be missed, I guess, but I'd only do it if we've wiped to it.
LB macros are fine if you're funny, but most people aren't.
Raise macros are the worst because they're always the most petty passive-aggressive bullshit. Just tell me who you're targeting and leave it at that.

I'm at about 50 wins myself but I'm starting to lose motivation. PVP is just so awful in this game. Even RW which is somewhat tolerable due to the mechs gets old very fast.

So... Here's a thing I learned as a new player:

Subscription costs AUD $23.

Yeah. As much as I would love to I can't pay this game. I can't justify spending that much on a sub.

No. If you have the stand alone WIndows version, you can only use that version. If you have the Steam version, you can only buy expansions through Steam. You can't mix and match WIndows and Steam.

Hmmm I pay 17 dollars a month as an Australian. It's still expensive but a little better maybe. Make sure you select the basic sub option if you decide to continue.

I haven't bothered with the astragos mount back in the day so I'm pleased to know that you can get it by doing hidden gorge also. It gave me the motivation that I needed as I thought I will never gonna get that one. I'm at 42 wins so far exactly a week today so with a bit of luck I'll get them mounts 2 weeks today.

Hidden Gorge is great but the problem is the new people not understanding objectives. Push lanes, grab mercenary, run mid for CE, use oppressors on towers and not on people and brute J full defence. That's basically all you need to know but even though you explain all this before the run they insist in pvping by attacking players (everyone but healers) rather then Vikings , Magus , oppressors or any other Mechs

Hopefully I get better luck today but a slow day last night with the wins lol

Hellsguards have the best names.

I've been doing a lot of Alliance Raid Roulettes lately to level BRD. I really wish they would go back and add a totem system to the old raids so you could buy its gear. Every time a piece of gear drops that I want, I always lose the roll and it never drops again.

Finally here with my current static just been raiding about 6 or so hours a week started this tier like 2 1/2 months or so ago? Happy to finally fight em

Good stuff, and good luck! I'm progging this right now also, the people I raid with are definitely good enough to clear it's just a matter of actually getting the raid nights together :P. We're up to HW2. It's been a great savage tier, Midgardsormr notwithstanding.

I do really like the grind from 50 with the collections. It allows me to do other stuff like cleaning the house or painting stuff while I wait for stuff to pop

I got bored of this raid tier pretty quickly to be honest. I'm certainly not the best player but there's too much zzz in the whole thing. Final Omega has got to be the worst and most mundane final boss in well... ever.

I look much more fondly back on Creator and Deltascape these days.

I've gone into Anemos 3 times now and each time ended up socializing with other folks. Really like the community that comes with a boring grind. Having played oldschool MMOs and found modern ones less talkative, I've theorized oppressive game design fosters community, and Anemos is backing me up.

The game really doesn't want me to get the Tsukuyomi dog. I've seen it half a dozen times and I've rolled under 25 each time. Most of them have been single digit rolls.

I hit level 50! And somehow already kinda feel a bit lost not seeing the xp bar climb anymore. Still seem to have a couple missions left in the story though at least. I guess I run dungeons for these tomes or whatever to increase my equipment level to take part in the raids?

Speaking of which how much is actually left for me in the base game? In terms of dungeons and raids anyway. I'm actually really tempted to get the expansions but I have to work out if I'm really down for subbing. Wish it was just a little bit cheaper but oh well. Have 18 days left to make up my mind at least.

Oh one last question, anyone tried playing cross region and if its manageable? I'm thinking I might try another character on Ultros to join ERA since the EU servers are so damn quiet

i think middy is fine outside of like the last sets of mechanics with ice + earthshakers or the levins you have to bring to the sides/corners. snapshotting makes that annoying
