220 from the MB is pretty cheap. Can get fully geared in HQ for like 2.2m on Balmung.

Still I'd rather save the gil for when new housing comes out and get another house instead of gearing up.

The only way to get Doman gear now is to spam hunts. Why are you spamming hunts instead of the various much quicker optionsß

I think they should go even more WoW-clone and implement dungeon challenges. Off the top of my head maybe kill Ziggy from Antitower without killing any add or rock.

Yeah, people on my server are undercutting each other so much that I didn't need to craft it myself, just bought it while I was making cash for the houses I finally was able to buy.

It's really kinda weird how stuff progressed from the ilvl180 craftable gear to the ilvl220 gear.
>>
>>334383634

Yeah that's fucking ridiculous. The iLevel 180 shit is so painfully hard to gather materials for and they were not only useless when they were first released, but even sky pirate gear was better, and easier to get mats for.

Alright, fair enough. Anything to make small group content slightly difficult and to go for something other than tokens.

Been playing for a couple weeks. Got botany and miner at 22, BSM/ARM/CRP at 21 - 23, LTW and GSM at 15, and I'm going to start Weaver tonight. Alchemist and culinarian are at 8, fishing at 6.

Got tired of several sets of crafting gear, so I'm going to try and synch the trades to withing a level or so of each other to avoid clutter.

The provision missions for my GC are really helping, since I don't have too much time during the week. I hop on, write down everything I need to turn in, craft up/gather, deliver for XP better than. I can get in a level quest, and seals on top of it.

Haven't crafted anything for alchemist or culinary, just spend a bit of gold and buy the items from the vendor to turn in.

To be fair if the guy is properly geared he shouldn't have issue with handling larger groups. Hell most tanks don't even use any cooldowns and can handle at least 2 groups without melting.

So I was doing a dungeon with my girlfriend last night and the tank started crying about how he should quit because the arcanist had the tank carbuncle rather than a dps one. He was bitching an complaining about how he was going to leave the party like a special snowflake faggot.

Later on we're doing to final boss, and I'm a BLM so I do a fuck-load of damage, and he asks me to straight up stop attacking because "You don't know how hard it is to tank"

This guy was a level 60 mentor, and he was acting like a fucking shit. Luckily it's the only bad experience I've had running dungeons so far.

Depends on your region and what you actually want to do, try the most populated servers. I personally play on Hyperion, however i heard very good things about Excalibur.

Excalibur is top raiding server currently i think. Alot of very good statics there, i'm sure you'll be able to find something. Just avoid /vg/ servers like Balmung and you'll be fine.

I've been on and off balmung for like 2 years now, I have a lot of ties and friends here so I don't plan on leaving anytime soon
also no excalibur is definitely not the best raiding server right now, gilgamesh holds that title despite having a lot of transferred shitters looking to be carried
>>
>>334396887

Oh, i didn't know it changed. I heard alot of good things about Excalibur, and had a friend recently move there from some other server, so i assumed it's because it's the current top server for that kind of thing.

>But it's alright to have a daily WoW thread on /vg/, right?
Yes. That's where generals belong. Except you mean wow news (news like in actually something happen with wow and not a daily thread to discuss the game like a fucking general), those are okay on /v/.
>>
>>334397021
unfortunately when it comes to na servers, they're weighted so heavily towards gilgamesh and balmung because of how the raiding scene went and just so many people transferring to be on the bigger servers only making them bigger and bigger over time
so now we have dozens of super low population servers

it's a big problem

CUL has Hasty Touch and Steady Hand II, both essential for any level of crafting.

Also has Reclaim at 50, in case you fear for your mats in endgame crafting.

I suppose that's true. There's also not work QT healer catboys.

Probably because in order to craft anything you need like six goddamn mats. CUL exists to prop up BTN and FSH as relevant classes, because otherwise MIN is far and away more useful to level.

And for some of these mats you need two others. And for one of those you need another two. And always only 1x of the 6 mats you need for the food, which makes it even more annoying. Still time wasting obviously if you want more because of how many sub mats you need to craft and gather.

Doesn't help that sellers try to sell easily obtainable mats (which just take a lot of time and teleporting sometimes) for very high prices. Even Alchemist isn't as bad.

Why is the market board so fucking broken?

Finished the main scenario today and I didn't even fight a single boss fight. While I was watching the cutscenes my group skipped forward so I missed everything. It was just a mess of incoherent cutscenes. Completely ruined it for me, I'm really disappointed because I liked the characters and all.

How could Square fix this? I know people are there for quick rewards so naturally they don't watch the long cutscenes but the way it is now doesn't work at all for new players.
>>
>>334400656
>Why is the market board so fucking broken?
Because devs and community.
There's still undercut war going on on shit that hasn't been bought in weeks simply because nobody wants it. They could stay on a similar high price in case someone will need it someday, but no, they have to be retards.
>>
>>334400656
Market board is set up to give every advantage to the sellers rather than the buyers. Pretty much to reward people who have the time to level up all their crafts/gathering. It's still bullshit though. At the very least they should show the price after taxes on the market board itself rather than in a prompt afterwards.
>>
>>334400793
Yeah, it's been that way since ARR. They stopped doing cutscenes while still walking through the dungeons later, but kept both Castrums like that for...I don't know. Maybe speedrunners would complain. Could easily lock everyone in place, I'm sure.
>>
>>334400793
Have a roulette for new players or an option for single player versions. As it stands, only people with preamdes can experience those cutscenes in all their glory.
>>
>>334400793
They don't do that anymore.

Cutscenes are before you sign up for the dungeon and after you leave. In-between is just the duty introductory scene and final boss introduction in dungeons.

Sure, it limits the dungeons' storytelling potential, but a dungeon is not a place for storytelling anyways and the way they did it at the end of HW was the perfect way.

>cutscenes and dialogue
>Aetherochemical Research Facility, with some dialogue but no overly long cutscenes
>cutscenes and dialogue once you finish it
>Singularity Reactor, the actual final boss of the expansion, in a completely different duty, not like Ultima at the end of Praetorium

And then there are no more new players to queue with the others.

They should honestly just add barriers. Yes the cutscenes are long, but they could raise the reward by just 30 stones and all the autists would still do it.

Anything not hidden for BTN and MIN, really. Fisher is a different can of worms, but the prices seem reasonable enough.
Meanwhile even level 1 - 30 mats can be expensive as fuck and you might not have the time to gather/craft the number of mats you need.

Again, I'm not a speedrunning faggot. Of course if nobody is new and they wanna do do it fast, I will obey. But we had a new player in the group and I want them to experience their new content.

Some people are just ironically retarded when they value their time that high in a fucking MMO. Usually the most antisocial tryhards there are.

You'll mist out on ex primals and the savage raids since you can't commit to a static. Though the upcoming raid finder may fix that (but probably wont). You can do all other content in the game playing it casually.

Read my greentext again, dipshit. Healer'scutscene took unusually long and even if it didn't, it was still a long way from the mob spawn to the last boss area. Including running. Tank pulled as soon as their reached the boss and healer was still in the cutscene.

A healer isn't 'new' when they're up to a level 60 dungeon. If they can't figure out how to keep a tank alive by then they should get the fuck good.
