So from what I'm reading online mining and botany are the best professions for making money? Anything else worth leveling?

Cheers, what do I do after that though? Do I just type the name of the monster and send it?

There's an easier way to broadcast the location of a hunt mob: target the monster, open shout chat and type <t> is at <pos>. <t> is relaced by current target and <pos> is your current position, without having to put a flag on the map.

Usually, if the monster has a green icon and is non-aggressive, it's a weekly elite hunt (that you can do one random per week) and only a few people would be interested. If the monster is aggressive (red icon), then anyone can kill it for points.

Actually that is a very good tip. I would like to add the fact that it would probably be easiest to create a macro out of this command. Then set the macro to a "commands" hotbar for ease of use.

That's disappointing, I don't want to be stuck with a Chocobo, minions are useful? Haven't really bothered with them.

Do Beast Tribe quests for the best mounts in the game! Once you get your Nazamu mount you won't be riding anything else.

They also have some nice storylines, give good exp for any DPS you're working on, and they provide easy access to crafting mats that are hard to get otherwise.

Bots killed the market for BTN and MIN. Some mats are still worth good money but they require you to be at high level and buy folklore tomes to unlock those gathering nodes. Personally, I haven't made much money from crafting. I found out you mostly want to level them to support your crafting which is the real money making.

I'm guessing you have to finish the base game story for these quests? Still going through it.

Which professions you suggest working on then for someone mainly looking to make money at endgame?

So I just did The Vault. And then that happened.

I'm gutted, man. Of all the characters that we lost up until now, none of them made me all too sad and upset. But this... this one hurt.

Didn't hurt me as bad as Moenbryda (I cried a little lol, I loved her ;_;), but yeah it stung for sure. Felt like losing a friend.

Big fan of Moenbryda, I thought she was awesome. Unfortunately I felt like she was gone not too long after getting introduced. Wish we got to spend more time with her to really make that last scene hit hard. Haurchefant on the other hand.. I felt like I've known the guy for years. You nailed it, it's like losing a friend lol :(

A smile better suits a hero, after all.

The Vault is always a fun dungeon. I sure love when tanks show up to it with outdated gear.
There are some neat gear sets in it, though.

Do we have a FFXIVEra discord by any chance? Didn't see anything in the OP.

I'm not in Ultros but I'm in the same data center, so I figured we can get some cross-world action going :>

The biggest missed opportunity in Pagos is that the damn Speed Belt doesn't give 6% haste.

Weaver, blacksmith, armorer, and carpenter will always be on demand because they provide weapons and gear that everyone needs. Even the pre-level 50 stuff sells for a nice amount if you keep an eye on the market board.

Thought if you want to get into crafting you pretty much have to level everything to 50 for the cross class skills and later 70 if you want to make your own mats instead of buying them. It's a long process but worth it if you ever get to it.

I would recommended finishing the story and focusing on gearing up your character before getting into all of this. Crafting is another beast altogether.

I was wondering about this too. Sadly I'm on Aether :(

I'm out of free slots on my first hotbar, that's 16 skills, I know you can switch to another one with R1 but doing that in battle seems really annoying.
The base game combat-oriented Beast Tribes (Amaljaa, Kobold, Sahagin, and Sylph) become available at various points throughout the 40s level-wise.
I'm at 51 and already finished most of those, none of them really have me any mounts.

All of them? Sounds like they will be a pain.

There's a setting to bring up another bar via combo triggers; L2+R2, R2+L2, and trigger taps iirc. It should be under the character config hotbar settings. Start off with the combo triggers, it's called expanded hold controls.

Ysayle also hurt plenty. It was a really rough stretch for losing friends lol.

One of my favorite lines in HW, truth be told. Fit the character and their outlook like a glove.

In general House Fortemps definitely felt like family, and as such Haurchefant's loss definitely stung again to see Edmont and his family grieve him.

They're expensive ($120,000) and require a high reputation level (rank 4 / trusted), but they are there, one for each tribe. Typically they're the same kinds of mounts that you get to use in some of their daily quests.
I think I have to go through the story more as my interaction with the tribes was just defeating the Primals.

50-70 road is a pain isn't it? At 53 and already feeling it's taking long, I can't imagine how to level the other jobs without story quests.

Wait until you hit 60. 50-60 feels like it takes as long as 60-61! :p

I levelled my warrior to 70 before I even got to the SB story line, so I boosted my WHM to 60 and I'm now going through those quests at the appropriate level. I'm enjoying the SB quests so far - smaller in scope than the other expansions but they feel more personal for it.

You can get it done in 2 weeks if you stick to dailies alone. If you want to go faster I recommend PotD for 50-60 and Levelling dungeon 61-70. Or HoH if you can tolerate more of that (Honestly it doesn't feel as fast as PotD though).

Leveling, Alliance, and MSQ Roulettes are your biggest bundles of daily exp (Queue aside).

Level50/60 Roulette is ok exp. Trials is pretty meh and I haven't done the Raid roulette since that got introduced.

Also don't forget Beast Tribe quests if you need something to do while you queue.

I haven't touched any PotD/HoH yet. As I still have MSQ left I'm still working on that.

I do my levelling and 50/60 daily but don't bother with trials. As I play tank/healer I don't have to worry much about queues!

I've just got past that point during this week, was not expecting that to happen. Did Limitless Blue last night for the first time was a bit of a pain in the ass with no one really telling me whats going on even though i'd said it was my first time doing it.

So, Heaven-on-High... shorter dungeon with steeper grind? When I ran the original for the Pajali weapon I don't recall just doing the same ten floors over and over again. Feel a bit short-changed to be honest.

I'm still angry that pagos sucks, but I am sort of relieved my 2 closest 14 pug lyfe buddies don't like it either so I have a challenge log buddies every week. 1.5 hours and 2 levels and I'm done for the week, no carpel tunnel.

Also, I could have sworn there was some sort of fancy suit looking glamor that was datamined along time ago that I have yet to see pop up. Did I somehow missed it? Anyone know of such a thing added this year?

The companion app is pretty handy. I haven't really had any issues with it and being able to chat with people while on my break at work is pretty sweet imo.

Finally caught up and finished all of the msq, now to Grind tomes and get to the top of that damned tower.

I am trying to gear up currently and have already a mix of items iLevel 315, 325 from dungeons and 330 from token of creation. What I don't understand is how I get a better weapon (except from a crafter). I only have the 310 one you get with the Centurio Seals. How do I get one that is around 330? Where do I get the Early Model Tomestone from?
