The fast way of farming Clusters/Memories is to have an 8 person group split between area 1 and 2 (healer, tank, dps in each group). Pull all of the Garlean enemies/robots each pull you can and aoe them down. The pulls are fairly constant and the memories drop quite often. Ideally, there's another group doing the same and you can even put 1-2 people in the north area 3. So long as you get some tags you can also leech some drops off the north group's efforts. With constant pulls, you are going to be getting oodles of memories and clusters. In about 1 hour I got about 200 clusters and a couple dozen different memories.
My RNG must be terrible because that's what I was doing for multiple hours on multiple days. Swimming in clusters but only 10 Bitter Memories.
Bitter memories might be worse there because they have a much lower drop rate. How many were you getting of the fate memory sets?
I stopped farming the Heavensward fates once I got the 80/80/80 that I needed for four relics. Everything I read said that the only methods to get Bitter Memories was Antitower farming (or insert X Heavensward dungeon) or Bozjan farming with Bozjan apparently being more efficient/faster when grouped in a party.
It's entirely possible that the groups I was in were farming the wrong mobs but we were in the right areas according the the maps on Reddit. The quest is active so it's not something as simple as that it just seems that my RNG is godawful. Maybe I'll go in for an hour or so this week, try and hit rank 10, and see if my luck is better then. Can't say I'm looking forward to going back in though (not that anyone other than myself is forcing me to).
Eh, rank 10 and clearing Castrum is almost certainly going to be a prerequisite for something.
Castrum allows you to wipe though and keep trying, it's pretty easy - maybe a slight notch above your usual 24 man stuff because of a couple mechanics.
reaching rank 10 and clearing castrum once is absolutely gating further story progress in the bozja storyline, since that is the capstone of the currently existing story
What good is my fucking squadron?
They're all between lvl 27 and 30 and they've failed a lvl 10 mission about eight times. Am I missing something?
Probably, yeah. Did you select the right stat distribution and did you select the right squad members to get high enough stats in at least 2 categories?

I'm off the WoW and of course my thoughts immediately turned to, "Maybe I should give that FFXIV thing a try again."

Hi yes why does Square not let me use a card for subscriptions and only gives me options for Steam Wallet which is a huuuuge pain in the ass run-around?

I'm getting an error code for the Steam Wallet that matches the error code I'm getting for trying to buy "Crysta" or whatever the fuck. Error Code: i2501
I looked it up and the top answer is "the credit card company suspects suspicious activity" which doesn't make sense, with further answers being... VPN related. AWESOME JUST RAD this is a lot of hoops to jump through and maybe I won't.
"Don't click the link from the FF14 Launcher: it appends an extra "issteam=1" to the URL for the mogstation...
If you've already been to the issteam=1 URL, you need to either clear your cookies or open the mogstation in a different browser/incognito session, and remove the issteam=1 from the URL. You will now see other payment options like regular credit cards.
I do that all the time, bought the game through Steam but always pay with credit card using this trick."
that sounds like it will fix your issue

Okay the incognito mode thing worked.

I bought Shadowbringers last night but the Hrothgar and Viera are still locked out at character creation for me.
That's weird. Try finding your product CD keys in steam, taking the one for shadowbringers and see if you can feed that to your square enix account page on the mogstation web site.

I don't like hats or headgear in games like this anyway. I customize my characters so I can see them and think "yeah, that's cool," not to have it hidden by all the gear.

There is headgear that works with them, but it's heavily things like glasses, or the various summoner horns, etc. that don't cover much of the head.
the steam store version of 14 seems extra poorly integrated with steam, like they just barely bolted on the ability to buy expansion CD-keys on steam and pay your sub with steam wallet funds and that's it

Luckily, I like the look of hair ribbon + ponytail with almost any outfit here.
Flower Crown is only $3 and that also works on all races.

It's been a couple years since I've played but Archer sure is boring as hell. My only other experience is with Warrior, Monk, Lancer, Rogue, and Black Mage. They were all pretty interesting (some of those in similar respects). But lordy Archer is like... "I hope you like these 3 buttons." Not that I want two dozen to push eventually.
The account management stuff in this game is like, astoundingly bad. Bafflingly bad. They go out of their to way to make first impressions as bad as possible

I have the same experience, it DOES get pretty fun at 80 but most of the way there I was not feeling it like I was other jobs.
part of the problem is that they redesign the jobs with each expansion, and their progression along with it, but they don't want to make each expansion increasingly complicated, so roughly the same number of abilities and traits get stretched over ten more levels each time, meaning new players often have to wait a bit longer for kits to really start coming together

Yeah Archer is probably the class that got hit the hardest by skill pruning/level learned changes.
There's like a solid 12 levels between like 18 and 30 where the only new thing you get is the passive "do more damage" trait every class gets.

The levels are going by fast at least. In the few hours I've dumped in I'm already almost level 21, outleveling the story content. So it's not biggie on the difficulty-of-leveling side.

it's so hard to earn anything if you're not group grinding
Level resistance rank isn't too bad but yeah, you'll get jack shit for drops.

Well, not the opposite. Rather than either one sucking, I think both options should not suck.

the bad news is you can't wear hats.
