    I heard people are getting owned left and right because they have to have another tank to 60 to be able to make a GNB.

    Hmmm....I've only got the early access code applied to my account. When I try to unlock the code for the expansion on the SE store it tells me to get the code from the confirmation email.

    There was no code in the confirmation email. The email said to check my account on the SE store for the code.

    Can you not get the code from SE yet?

    It's not. I could accept the quest for gunbreaker with only a level 53 tank as my highest. You need a level 60 combat job and the expansion but that's it.

    The only code I have so far is the one for the Earring et all. Registering that got me early access.

    I went in and told the SE Store to pre-charge my CC for the expansion a while ago, though...

    While I don't disagree that Red Mage was in a pretty okay spot so it didn't need a lot of changes, I still think they could have done a bit better with Fleche and Contre than 'press on cooldown'.

    shit Momo. that's a name I haven't read in a while.

    GNB at 60 feels pretty good! I was only able to squeeze in a few minutes of game time (and set up my obligatory Squall Cosplay) but so far it's been going well. I also love that FATEs are active once more in SB so might as well take part of the FATE train this weekend. Apparently (Healer in Need) might be a thing this time around lol.

    The registration code will become available on release date. The early access code will let you play until then.

    I'm surprised they didn't gain charges with some sort of reset on proc system. The one thing I'm not wild about on paper is the change to aoe, scatterspam wasn't fun but now the aoe rotation is backwards from the single target one and it feels like we got buttons for the sake of buttons.

    Next deep dungeon should just be navigating around random cities.

    this. I need to know! Shire Gunblade is fine but it's no Revolver.

    EDIT: Oh man. I need a Hive Revolver. An Ifrit Revolver. A Bismark Revolver....dammit.

    The wine snob portion of the Dalmascan quest line is a complex bouquet of both amusing and infuriating.

    Yes, you won't be able to enter your "full" code until the actual release day so you won't get the CE rewards until then (mount, gunblade, fran).

    Ok. So re: the level 63 Dancer quest

    (Spoilers)
    Show up in Ul'dah, decide where to put on your show. Brass Blades guard shows up and tells you it is unsafe and you can't perform there. And the player is given the opportunity to say "Do you know who I am?"

    But then they totally waste it. Wasted opportunity to name drop yourself. What is your response? "I'm an adventurer, I can take care of myself."

    Yeah. That's the credentials I dropped.

    Not "Scion of the Seventh Dawn." Not "Warrior of Light." Not "Friend of the Sultana, don't make me call her up on my linkpearl phone and tell you to let me do what I want." Not "I am friends with Raubahn and Pippin and I have fought beside them in war on the front lines." Not "I'm on speaking terms with literally every world leader on this planet." Not "Look at all these Primal teeth I've collected on my string of primal teeth necklace."

    No. They went with "I'm an adventurer."

    Sheesh.

    A good start. SCH 71. BTN 71.

    And I'm selling flax for 5k each on the market... and debating if I should go higher. And then I'm seeing people trying to get 80k each for the yarn it makes.... (It's not selling... and that's a ludicrous price - the cloth is only listed at 20k)

    Should I do post-launch MSQ stuff for each expansion before jumping into Shadowbringers MSQ, or are those relatively self-contained stories?

    you have to do the whole msq

    do you mean the side content?

  • Options

    if you mean the optional dungeons and raids and stuff, they're all worth going back and doing at some point, but when is up to you!

    the only one I strongly recommend doing asap is the level 50 24-man raid series, since shadowbringers ties heavily into what happened there

    I'm at Griffon Griffon on the Wall as my Warrior and sort of afraid to go tank the dungeons as a returning player. My Dragoon is up to 58. Is it worth it to finish the Dragoon to 60 and level that for Stormborn or just suck it up and play the Warrior for Stormborn?

    Those are my only two jobs at high levels currently since I mostly play to craft and gather (all crafter/gatherers at 60+).

    As someone who hasn't tanked a day in his life, I assume it's easier to tank than ever given the way they revamp'ed mitigation.

    Despite what your experience with Aurum Vale was, Tanking is pretty straightforward from 50 onward. Current dungeon design dropped ARR labyrinthine design and most dungeons are just a corridor like FFX. No mechanic will wipe you right away and you usually can get away with flubbing them. Also, most rotations are dps like these days with no positional requirements.

    The first class i leveled to 50 was paladin and Aurum vale absolutely destroyed my confidence it was miserable.

    It is an outlier though very few dungeons feel as brutally unfair as vale.

    vale isn't even that hard, you just have to take your time

    the problem is that other dungeons rarely ask that of you

    I mean msq stuff like things added in 3.1, 3.2, etc. and ditto for 4.1+.

    Aurum Vale is only hard when your group refuses to explain the first and last boss to new players. (or if your healer is very very new)

    Eat at 2 stacks on the first boss, eat at 3 stacks on the last boss. Boom, you win.

    Also AV is like in this weird Limbo. If it was a lv 50 dungeon and you had access to your full tank kit it would be WAY more easier. Well...now with the tank changes I dunno maybe it's easier.

    Oh right I forgot, despite what your dps might tell you, unless you're overgeared just pull one pack at a time. Once you have some experience under your belt you can pull two groups at a time and survive with no issues.

    ...yes? I'm honestly still not 100% clear on what you mean

    msq content is all mandatory, but the question implies you're asking about optional stuff
