A step by step guide to going about getting the Eureka armor from Pyros into Hydatos would be nice. I know I could probably look it up myself. But I'm lazy, and would like watching a guide instead of reading it. Lol
As far as Eureka goes, unless it's going to continue on in 5.0 I can't recommended investing in int, and without a level sync function I won't spend much time in the content to hit level 60.
I have returned to ffxiv and this is exactly what I needed to help get my head around the different progression mechanics and destinations! Great work! Wonderfully done!
This was quite helpful. I’m quite new and have just been doing daily roulette’s to gain tokens and buy gear and have just gotten my average ilvl to 360. Unlocking all the dungeons and raids was the biggest challenge as it’s not always clear what you unlock with sidequests so a guide to unlocking all dungeons and raids might be helpfull to new players(currently a lot of wow players are looking for another mmo so they might end up in ffxiv same way i did a couple of months ago)
That being said gearing now is just for the glamour or if you really want to do the high-end content for whatever reason. Because launch Shadowbringers you can buy nearly as good gear from the vendor, and all level 70 gear will be pretty much obsolete on level 80 characters. All this work for 400 gear will be pretty much useless in a few weeks after SB or less. It's up to you if you want to do this for the looks or not. That's really the main reason at this point. Personally, I'm just going to work on my GC rank lol. This is still a really good guide though, don't get me wrong.
Dragonspheres I’m glad you put this in perspective. No disrespect to the guide or UA-camr but the grind for a lot in this game is long as hell, lol and there’s so much to do it can be overwhelming.
@@ninethemagician3479 Thanks, I do think it needed to be said. Some people may think the grind is needed for SB but in reality, it's not, just finish your MSQ and in SB that's when you should grind so you don't waste your time grinding on the gear in Stormblood that will become obsolete this summer. Hence, only do it for glamour. Like you said this lessen the things you 'need' to do now.
Another tip is that you can pick up another hunting set in Foundation, ranks 1 through 3 plus the weekly so another daily 200 tokens and another 100 for the weekly.
Thank you and I’d just like to say that I’m pretty new to the channel but your content has inspired me to start making my own ffxiv content I work a lot same as you do UA-cam will be a side thing maybe a collab in the future once things are up and running Keep up the good work
Welcome back Zaon! Glad you're returning and I Hope you have a blast and are able to get caught up. Shadowbringers really looks to be a very impressive expansion. :)
I’m not a hardcore gamer but doing casual runs & hunts every week - I can use the 3 coins to upgrade my gear from 390 to 400 & peerless clan marks to upgrade my accessories. So about 2 upgrades (ilvl 400) a week works for me...
The cap won't be removed completely, it will be raised to 900 for the last month or so before Shadowbringers. I'm hoping Poetics won't replace Mendacity and Genesis but that's just me. While on the topic of gear you forgot to mention that hunts in Heavensward can help with the 310 and 330/340 gear since Centurio Seals are gained there too.
It probably will replace Mendacity. Poetics was originally for lvl50 cap before HW. HW's tomes ( Scripture, Lore, Esotetrics) were all dropped following SB. I would imagine they would nuke the SB tomes in a similar fashion in order to avoid currency bloat. Old tomestone gear became rewards from MSQs and Poetics was changed to drop from 50 & 60 dungeons and raids. From a new players perspective, this is less daunting as you can earn poetics to gear up for 50, 60 and soon, 70 content.
i like this video! ive been playing since alpha (arr) and this is helpful. also, you consider doing a video on different hud setups for ps4 controller users? I make sure my hud is clean and organized and minimal but your hotbar is really nice! ive been trying to move the party list someplace esee cuz i hate staring in the corner of the screen but im not sure what would look good.
I still don't understand why gearing up so hard is necessary. When the new expansion drops the gear from quests alone will be better then most of the stuff farmed at the end of stormblood.
I don't understand why people playing the game is so necessary, like why do people progress their character in an RPG when it's just gonna be replaced in 2 years when the next expac comes out like lol
@@ces4621 hmm good point, as a casual who's coming back for shadowbringers it's better for me to wait for the expansion quest instead of painfully grinding to bridge my ilvl gap. Thanks and ignore the idiots like zstan123
@@zstan123 Yeah, I'm probably considered casual even though I play a lot. I don't play any of the really hard content though. So once I have the gear necessary to hit the ilvl requirement needed for whatever dungeon/trial/raid I want, it's all about glamour. Like you said, after July, having ilvl 400+ gear is not going to be that important anymore so the only relevant gear for me will be the stuff that looks cool. And before anyone replies with "it'll make leveling easier," yes, I guess. I mean, you'll get the quest rewards so you can sell those and make gil if you're already geared or use the quest rewards for other jobs. But even then, that'll only last for the first 4-6 levels. Besides, you can get the full set day 1 of Shadowbringers with poetics (if you're capped) and still sell the quest rewards. So what's easier? Going through a 7+ week grind to get the top gear that will be soon be obsolete or just banking poetics from your roulettes and getting that same gear on day 1? Some will go with A, some B, and some will sprinkle a little of both.
To actually answer your question...You'll have to finish the MSQ to start the new content when it launches. That requires you to finish some raids and dungeons that have a relatively high ilvl requirement to enter. You'll need to be around 360 at least to finish 4.5 before 5.0 launches
I would love a story summary, when it comes to ff the story/lore is so scattered about on UA-cam/internet it’s very hard to introduce people to the world, the story can be hard to follow for some people. I never was good at following mmo story lines for e.g, take WoW, just to much reading. Luckily nobbel87 literally covers everything. Anyone knows a channel that does that? If not maybe something at least in text format? Where are all the lore people at?
I'm right there with you, and I'm already working on it. It's going to be the mother of all posts I work on this year. :) Targeting it for sometime in April, just FYI :)
I have my BRD at 377, but I was able to penta-meld everything since I have all crafts at 70 and materia is pretty cheap now. Hopefully that will be good for MSQ to 76 or 77.
Been away since 2014, decided to start a new character to re familiarize myself, I'm going to assume that I wont have too much of an issue getting geared up until Stormblood Endgame due to quest rewards. Back in 2014 it was all about relic weapons are these obsolete now?
My blms sitting on all armor and weapon 400 while accessories 390 HQ ring and rest 390 Scavean. Couldnt farm all the coins needed for accessories because by the time i killed the two red chocobos was on my last day because i needed help on that. However after that i focused on upgrading my armor and weapon 400. So i am guessing for a bit my gear will be pretty good on my Black Mage her ilvl is 395. I also managed to 2000 all but Genesis 1900 something in tomes so i should be good upgrading as well. As for my blms weapon skin a fc member after i bought and gave them the matts and farmed the scale crafted me Seeing Horde Rod. I will likely keep that staff even after level 80 because i think it looks nicer. I saw a video for level 80 black mage gear and felt the staff was kinda meh.
Good point. For the tombs thats in Ralgars reach, and as far as the content goes, just follow the MSQ and it will help feed you into a majority of the content, also follow any quest with a + next to it. :)
Hi guys I have been playing FF14 for only a couple weeks now and there was a lot thrown at me at the beginning now I kind of hit a slower part. Now with that I have hit that part my FC is taking about doing Dailys. Can you guys make a video or something about dailys like which ones are available and which one would be good to do
We might have covered that, it just depends on what they mean by dailies. You'll see in your roulettes you have those as dailies, as well as beastmen tribes.
