    I always just used battle leves to grind out crystal sand, especially after they upped the drop rate of amber vilekin. Open chests, abandon leve, reset leve, repeat.

    So I'm currently playing the free trial and was enjoying it quite a bit until I got to level ~45 of the MSQ, Mor Dhona, and just bounced off after the questline had me run back and forth between a fort and town 4 times in a row(and I'm sure theres more times coming since business there isn't concluded). Does this get better or is this going to be normal for the higher level quests? I mean they canonically gave me a linkshell so they could talk to me anywhere in the world, why is everyone so obsessed with in-person talks.

    In the meantime I've been leveling up my archer job and I'm still enjoying the lower level content. Though oddly I think I'm getting more commendations on my archer than I did on my warrior.

    If you don't have a leveled crafter or gatherer, then don't bother, you need that. If you do, you should definitely look into getting Yellow and White scrips because they're both really useful.

    This is mostly an artifact of the original A Realm Reborn and isn't as prominent in expansion content.

    Nope, that's basically the MSQ until you hit Heavensward. Yes, it sucks a lot.

    Decided to go with a themed look, with the conditions that it include at least one piece of gear from the end-game raids or relic questlines for ARR and each expansion, as well as at least one piece of job-specific armor.

    ARR for the chest, Heavensward for the boots (and pants), Stormblood relic for the weapon, Shadowbringers for the hat, and the gloves for the job-specific gear.

    I was surprised at how well it came together.

    Decided to pop back into this game after a 4 year break. But, every time I try to login to the launcher I get an error message "The password entered is invalid". I can login to the Mog station fine, as I had to redo my subscription. But the launcher hates me. I'm not finding any solutions online and support just tells me to reset my password, which I already did several times.

    Hmmmmm... is it a fresh install of the game/launcher? Do you have an authenticator added?

    Fresh install and yes to the OTP and I've got the numbers working fine as I had to use it on the Mog station thing. I'm seeing people saying there are 2 accounts? SQE account and a FFXIV account? Is that still a thing as I can't seem to find a FFXIV account information.

    if you logged into the mogstation to set up your account and subscription that should be the correct login, the square enix store where you actually buy the game and expansions does have a separate account system but that doesn't sound like the problem you're having, probably?

    which version of the game do you have licenses for, the steam version or the standalone PC version?

    when zadnor was hot black/white dye was down to about 300k, not sure what it is now. I quit sending my retainers out though, got tired of throwing out all the shit. I've got plenty of stuff to unload when EW drops and we start getting new raid tiers and trial weapons

    Of course now it's telling me to wait several minutes before trying again. Though I've waited about 15 minutes and it still tells me the same thing! Anywho, how bout them Chocobos? I wish I had an idea of where I was in the game when I quit. I know I had hit 50 in Ninja and that's about it. I believe I was in the 2nd expansion.

    I've played on PS4 and on stand alone. I double checked my Steam library and I don't have it in there.

    Heavensward is the first expansion, and it's all about dragons and the frozen north (in Ishgard) and such, and it has a level cap of 60. The second expansion is Stormblood, and it's about your journey to free Ala Mhigo from the empire, during which your travels will also take you to the far east of Doma (level cap of 70).

    Any of that sound familiar? :D

    Make sure all your capital letters are correct.

    Make sure the date and the time on your mobile device are correct.

    If nothing else works, you may have to reinstall the OTP app.

    Yes the freeing of Ala Mhigo sounds familiar.

    This is probably the easiest way, but likely won’t be an option once EW launches.

    Thank you all for your help and suggestions. Is the guild/company/thing active? Also, the problem was something with my OTP after all, as they removed it from my account and I got in easy.

    It's essentially the same story as the penny arcade World of Warcraft presence. Penny arcade just isn't a big enough community anymore to be the majority share of any gaming space.

    I like Ghost a lot - and I find that I see our company-mates out in the world (in the big cities or Golden Saucer) often, which is a little wild. Seems more common than I would expect from an FC of a few hundred people.

    I generally experience a lot of world chat via the Novice Network, and I can never decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It keeps me from feeling lonely, because the window is scrolling all of the time - but it's also largely distracting nonsense. I dunno.

    I'm also on console, so typing is a bit of a pain - other than "Hi all!", "First time," and tyfp/gg.

    Anyone from here is more than welcome in Ghost in the Linkshell, but like said above, most of the membership grew organically. The FC rules are similar to the forums here, and the leadership mods things fairly well; so it ought to be a close experience. The biggest stumbling block we have as FC leaders is that there is no report to FC leadership button and we can't see logs, so we sometimes have to sleuth out when things are going on that are undesirable.

    I also agree that FC's aren't as necessary as they once were. Serious and/or specialty content is more shipped off to Linkshells, so Free Companies are more used just for socialization.

    ...and when you are done with that; take a folding
    chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
