fuck off

What is the good server to be on? My old server is basically dead.

Transfers are cheap right now

everyone is on Asura

asura has 1.9k people on right now
every other server is dead NA population wise

Welp, guess Ill pay the $9 and head to asura

Have not played since 3 story's.

I have a level 24 thief, did all the npc quests, and wandered into some place called Shelbina where the mayor told me that I should bring him some bee pollen. Am I doing it right? I'm a little confused on what I should generally
Be doing

Do Rhapsodies instead, because it's easier than what the mayor wants and the reward is the same.

I think Im doing rhapsodies, its what it says in my quest log.

Unrelated, but can i play on Asura if i registered on a different server?

i can throw you a pearl when you transfer if you like
you have to pay 9$ to server transfer (it's normally 18$)

if you're not far along might as well just remake on asura

Hey did y'all see there was an update to ffxi mobile?

yeah, my bad. I misremembered. Go to La Theine Plateau or Konschtat Highlands and kill Huge Wasps

That's what I'm doing, is it part of the main story? Sorry for noob questions thanks for answering though

I haven't played this game since I was a kid, probably 2004. Is it still good, can I relive those memories?

>Can I relive those memories
definitely. Especially now with Trusts, you can relive it as if it's a single player game
>Is it still good?
I would personally say no. The Quality of Life updates killed the game for me personally. I only go back every now and then for nostalgia sake.

reply with "nerf smn please" to receive a bounty of neetbux

nerf DRG please

nerf MNK please

nerf pup.

Because fuck pup and not because of any actual belief that it is an overpowered job.

none of you people are getting neetbux

Are you guys playing on retail or private server?

Retail, Assura

is there a good quality rip of the new music?

Is there anything to do with old abjurations? I seem to vaguely recall being able to break them down for augmenting, but is that even useful anymore?

I'm doing trial of the Magians stuff for Almace

Why is this shit so gay

Who thought of this

Why is everything directly associated with Abyssea always the gayest shit

Because Abyssea is fucking garbage which takes 200 years and almost requires the aid of others despite being the pseudo-expansion that really cemented the game's greater solo focus.

yeah but you get to glow red when you finish it
which is really fucking stupid!

Easy as fuck if you're on a dead server
You have no idea what actually competing for Gukumatz pulls was like. Like Fafnir except every 10 minutes for the rest of your life. Now you can just shit the weapons out

Meanwhile, alexandrites are 3 times more expensive than when mythics were new

I think it was entirely by accident, too.

In their minds, all this content would've been "people working together to help each other out" but it was just so tedious and grindy that it ended up having the opposite effect.

I remember when Abyssea Altepa came out I was just so sick of the grind that I started doing stuff with smaller and smaller groups until I was nearly doing everything on my own with a dualbox.

Anyone??? I have a shitload of Sky abjs, should I just toss them?

Toss them, they're completely useless.

Guessing the same for homam/nashira?

how BRD is doing these days?

Check the BG wiki.

If it doesn't upgrade to 119, then you should just dbox it to a mule or dump it.

Homam pants is good for fastcast. The ambu version has a different list of jobs that can equip it though. You can store it on a slip if you have sentimental attachment. Nashira looks useless as well.

I just don't get why some gear upgrades to 119 while others don't

And yet there's 119 gear that looks just like it, why didn't they at least use the old gear as a base?

trying to get an empy feet in aby is the worst shit ever

Artifact, relic, and empyrean can be reforged. They have some story/job-related value.

Are Scholar and Dancer the most Kino class design in the history of MMOs?

cleave it nigger

Get 80ish amber lights and cleave.

They buffed the shit out of it by doubling the effect of all their songs and adding bonuses to gear and instruments. It's really good in melee groups

>It's really good in melee groups
You just described bard for the last 15 years

>kino class designs
>not mentioning run

Yeah i know but am still getting shit drops

It's definitely something you want to work towards.

except it's been worthless ever since the item level update up until the recent buff. their songs weren't strong enough to sacrifice a dd slot

Anyone else is having connection issue getting R0 for few seconds?

Yep.

it's already there!

90% of the game's population is on asura

reminder that you can now force FFXI into DX11 fixing a lot of lag issues and improving graphics

ffxiah.com/forum/topic/50992/ffxi-finally-in-high-quality-graphics

You can use the SE software token (free app) to gain access to the mog satchel, btw
Wish I realized this years ago

I followed the instructions but wasn't able to get it to work. I got in game and it had clearly improved any issues I was having with random FPS drops, but none of the character models were showing. Everyone was invisible all the time.

when will they incorporate it into windower

probably never, windower staff have gotten pretty lazy

Continuing from last night, I got the SAM AF!

Still have Abyssea's story to do, but I'm feeling off and on about it. Mainly because of the procing nonsense.

i dont think you need to pro anything if you are just killing for the story

>want to move to asura for a higher population
>know this also inherently includes competition for time pops
i swear the whole game should just be instanced

My suggestion for Abyssea is to gear up a 119 job that can cover as many procs as possible and go nuts.

It'll take a while, but you'll get it eventually.

He'll need red procs for KI to kill bosses required by the questline, iirc.

im botting on asura right now come fuck me senpai

what's abyssea like? my main concern is i want to make a couple empys and i could easily shit the lv80-90 mats out in a couple weeks since my server is dead

maybe i'd do that before shifting

I have RDM AF +1 on Hat, Body, & Boots. Despair Finger Gauntlets, Gyve Trousers, Pukulatmuj +1, & Claidheamh Soluis for the rest. Can trusts cover the proccing? Or will I have to do it myself?

Trusts are unreliable for proccing. Best to go WAR for all your proccing needs.

why do you even want to do the aby story? its shit anyway

thf subbing war if you have the event lvl1 items is better than anything for farming, nin/war if you just want red procs

depends on the weapon most likely, the 90 mats can be a pain. a lot of people just buy pops cause comp can be gay. i did an almace 80-90 in a few days of constant grinding and didn't have an issue until apademak

completion sake, I've done just about everything else.

The idea is kinda cool. Most people skip it or don't pay attention so they don't know, but abyssea is an alternate reality vana'diel where promathia won the battle versus the MC and shit all over the world. Since we died in that reality, we go in and clean up the damage from the other side. Shinryu is like promathia's final form

>didn't have an issue until apademak
there's not a single person in uleg here

Anyone want to form a worm exp PT? hahahah ...

So whats a good way to make money in game for new players?

ERP.

Well sure but I am a galka

sell sparks gear

Sell sparks. Any item more or less NPCs for 1:10 sparks to gil. So buy the most expensive item, archeron shields and NPC them.

Other than that, you could sell crystals or craft low level crafting mats that no one wants to make. Bronze ingots, sheep leather, etc.

I dont understand, what is sparks?

A type of currency you earn by doing RoEs.

>Any item more or less NPCs for 1:10 sparks to gil
so you're saying 1k sparks is 10k gil? that seems like a pretty poor trade off. I mean, it takes a while to earn sparks

Who's the go-to VWNM for Riftcinders?

Is it worth it to do the 3000 cinders stage? I heard you can skip that one with Oboro, but I'm nott sure if that's true or not.

I played this for the first time at the beginning of the year, and while I liked it it didn't really hook me and I stopped shortly thereafter. Was bored so I decided to hop back in because of the event and fuck me I'm already consumed. I honestly don't really know what I'm doing, I feel like I'm missing half the shit and am only really using guides and stuff to somewhat steer myself in the right direction. I'm really enjoying the game now though. I just got DRG, and I'm really digging the wyvern pet. Just hit level 36 before hopping off, taking it slow and just taking in as much of the world as I can. I really love the feeling of an adventure/journey. There aren't a lot of games in recent memory that give that same feeling. Music is stellar too. Glad I decided to play again.

I want to be them

Yes. You do it over time if you're lower leveled. If you have a cleaving job and enough exp bonuses, you cleave during gain exp RoEs. You can fill up your sparks and accolades in like half an hour. You can spend your accolades to buy UNM parts as extra money.

(specifically Boyahda Moss)

There's some questable scrolls that you can sell if you don't plan on playing blm/whm/drk.

Warp II
Drain
Aspir
Teleport-X
Recall-X

If you get to level 40, you can try a BCNM40 to get Utsu: Ni, Phalanx, Dispel. They all sell pretty well.

Also, be sure to grab Trust:King of Hearts from the sparks NPC. He's a really good rdm trust, but he's only available during Alter Ego: Extravaganza which only happens once in a blue moon.

Good Luck.

>he's only available during Alter Ego: Extravaganza

Who else is only available during campaigns?

Without including the Login Bonus exclusive ones.

>and enough exp bonuses
What does exp bonus have to do with making money? And what bonuses are you talking about?

There's is a RoE, a quest, that requires you to earn 5,000 experience points. When you earn 5,000 experience points, you are awarded 300 sparks. By getting enough experience points earned bonuses, you can earn more than 5,000 experience points per kill on easy to kill enemies. Therefore you can complete the quest quickly and easily.

Qultada and Amchuchu would be the other two to get from this current event.

Amchuchu is from Peacekeeper's Coalition in Adoulin though.

I've only seen the 5k exp one come up as a timed offer. Like it's not available right now for instance

And i still don't know what you mean by exp earned bonus. You mean like in abyssea?

Rhapsody of Vana'diel provides key items as a reward for completing missions.

These provide a permanent EXP bonus in addition to many other things.

Yes, those RoEs change every four hours. The exp one comes up Monday nights around 7pm-11pm PST. It happens sometime on Friday, I don't do this one so I don't know the time. It also appears Sunday mornings, from 3am-7am.

By completing the Rhapsodies of Vana'diel missions, you get Key Items that you give you permanent bonuses to experience points earned.

I got the Chooch. She's a badass.

Didn't know about Qultada. I'll get him the next time I log in.

How's King of Hearts in comparison to Koru-Moru?

Stop making me want to resubscribe!

...

Do a private server and get it out of your system.

crazy, guess I really need to prioritize RoV then

>no rhyming

I hate this

That's not all it gives. You also get like quadruple skill up rates, considerably cheaper home point travel, access to reisenjima and the escha zones, and access to the curio moogle who sells a shitload of food, ammo, coffer keys, ninja tools, assault rank up key items, and infinite use rings that teleport you to the three main crags.

so what's up with a buncha cor being /dnc?
