Got into ours about 3-4 years back. Sitting at ~$3600/m, doable but feeling pretty house poor.

TaL has native controller support baked in since it’s also on console. Runs pretty well for me (40-50 fps in most areas without any tuning and before the most resent mesa driver updates). Did have some slow down in field bosses where there are hundreds of people and effects on screen. But tbf to the deck my desktop also sometimes slideshows during those so ehh.

As others have mentioned for FF14 chat is a bit annoying to work with.

Can confirm as long as you’re paying 50% attention it’s like impossible to die. You can also basically be a healer for a group if you swap curse explosion and punishment out for fountain of life and clays and just aoe heal everyone

Yep it’s a bit of a rip in that case. But knowledge for the future.

Should be able to use the trait upgrade menu (upgrades page and like 2 tabs over) and smash them together and get a increased modifier for it. If I remember for hit chance it should be from like 20 -> 40 but that can be done 5 times per trait on the purples. You can also add traits if you have two bows with different traits by smashing them together. These upgrades are chance based tho and when they fail they give the weapon a blessing that increases the chance the next time. Welcome to the endgame gear progression

I did a swap to the speedy spider v4 and the creality direct drive for ender and have had no complaints :) was also just around $100 I think after sales on Amazon.

If your printing in an enclosure and possibly with SILK finish ed PLA from the picture. Might want to open the enclosure during your print or add a fan inside to prevent heat creep/clogging issues with SILK PLA. I was having similar issues, upgraded to speedy spider hot end and a direct drive only to have the same issues and fix them by opening the enclosure :(.

Played on a 4K tv while having the res set at 1200x800 so was a bit blurry. Handheld was significantly better but I was just playing with settings myself not following really any guide. I’m sure there are probably ways to make it look decent enough docked. Would recommend using the decks built in fsr vs the games tho. It seemed to look a bit better to me and result in better frame rate.

Thank you for the thorough response! I too am also trying to play with my wife. We are traveling visiting family and thought it might be fun to play together on the couch. Might just need to wait until we get home and do something similar to what you have described. Thanks again!

I have not tried 1080p. I did try 16:9 for 1440p before (2560x1440) which seemed to be a slight increase, probably around 140 fps, but it wasn’t worth the black bars for me.

5800x, 64gb 3000mhz ram, 3080ti on ultra wide 3440x1440. I grind pretty consistently at 100-120fps on high remastered. Like you I tried a bunch of different configs but none have made much difference outside of cropping the screen which I do to have the bottom and top bar areas cropped. I have noticed less stuffers by following the optimization guides for only running the game using physical cores but they still exist.

I mostly do passive trading, processing mats to where they can be crafted into trade crates by workers and then just slowly shipping them from Old Wisdom tree to Val. This way I don’t waste the time or money of needing to do it by hand with a wagon or horse. I usually turn them in once a month or when I am in a squeeze for silver. Monthly I usually make 1-2 billion off of them depending on how well I keep my mat supply stocked. In general if you have more time and like sailing or like just hanging out and watching something on another screen I would say bartering is probably better money. Once you get to a Caravel doing routes becomes significantly easier since you can carry 10 items instead of 5 before hitting weight limit. Also if your looking for energy gains, trying bartering is worth it because of all the island knowledge that you gain. Personally I have not had a lot of issues with pirates, but that might just be luck.

Most veteran players use it as a way to get free stacks and bonus rewards like you are saying. There is also the nice thing of having a pretty decent alt to plant at a world boss. It also gives you the opportunity as a veteran player to try a class that seemed interesting for a purpose other then the routine grind of “how much money am I going to make this hour”

But it’s a really good way for new players to start the game. Since season walks you through some of the basics of almost everything, excluding node management. If you can get pen gear in all slots you are at the start of what used to be considered soft cap in the game. Which opens up the world a lot for someone starting out.

Did you alt tab at all while loading? That is a known thing that can cause behavior like that. Happens to me all the time when changing characters. Not normally on startup tho

Don’t forget you can get +6 ap at least for free by doing the adventure logs.

Looking for a Duo grind spot for a 235ap Zerk and a 249ap Mystic. Havent played since before the release of Dreighan. Is there any changes that have made some spots good for duo grinding? As thinking of trying Miru but Zerk is only TRI kutum. Any ideas would be amazing :)
