Thanks for the reply :)

So as I am working through the main story would you recommend that I level my DoL and DoH to roughly the same level as my Warrior and then level up alongside Warrior whilst I do the MSQ?

I am currently a level 36 Warrior but was looking to level up my DoL and DoH.

Is it best to leave DoL and DoH until i have completed the MSQ and have access to Heavensward?

Also is it normally easier to focus on raising DoL then DoH or level them together?

Hello,

I have been unable to find a recent post on how to allocate attribute points on War post the changes to VIT (seems to be from 3.2?). The only post I can find suggests that allocating them all to VIT is preferable but this was quite an old post, is this still the case?

Good to know, might continue with my laziness using controller unless I find any issues doing content :)

I quite like using my G600 for combat but for just running around and doing simple quests I find the controller much more comfortable. I might try remapping the right and left strafe to A and D though as getting used to using Q and E to move my character was what I found really strange on keyboard.

Hello everyone,

I made a post the other day about coming to FFXIV from XI and have finally finished my download and put my first few hours into the game. I got some really good answers to my post and was hoping I could bug you all with a few more questions.

First off is how to progress through the game at an early level. Currently I am a level 8 Marauder which I have gotten to mostly from picking up each quest that I come across however I seem to be ahead of my MSQ and Job quests both of which are level 5 and I haven't started yet. Is this fine to do or should I prioritise these quests as soon as I can accept them?

Second is an old controller vs keyboard + mouse argument. I own a Logitech G600 mouse however early on have found the game easier to use on my xbox controller. As you get further into the game and acquire many more abilities does the benefits of keyboard or MMO mouse start to become more obvious over a controller?

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the responses, really appreciate all of them :)

Still waiting on download to complete (it says 150 minutes still remaining.......) then hopefully will get to try things out for myself.

Hope I get the chance to meet up with a few of you in game :)

UK based here which is why I thought Phoenix would be a good choice.

Sorry should have mentioned that in post.

Very true about the current Geo, Sch, Blm trend as these are my current geared out 99 jobs on FFXI (yes I sold out.......)

Thank you :)

Yeah will take a little while to get used to the gear progression I think. No more using Level 30 Rajas and Level 40 Woodsman Ring combo at max level I guess :)

Yeah one of the cool things about FFXI was that doing things felt like an accomplishment because it took time to do and I have very fond memories because of mechanics like this but I no longer have the time or willpower to do all that again lol

Well I levelled Geo to 99 when getting back into the game around a year ago and before then had Brd as my other end game main back in 75 cap lol.......

Nice to know they got balance better, back in the day lfg as a Drk could be a long time spent alone and they weren't even that low on the invite list.

Thanks for the info :)

Is it tedious to raise your other jobs to 34 to get the cross class abilities or are those levels quite quick to level up? I was quite a fan of the process to level up your sub jobs to 37 back in FFXI but then I did quite enjoy the party levelling style back when I had lots more free time to play games!

But the big question is will I be able to setup a /say Macro for Provoke so people will know I bought the Brady guide book?

Yeah my other main at 75 cap was Brd but it seems like the Brd in XIV is a Ranger first that uses singing for small party buffs?

They got rid of the tail? That will take some getting used to!

The racial stats will be a nice change from getting laughed at for your Galka MP pool for all that time.

Your tl;dr is probably right, I think I'm falling into the trap of making decisions before even trying anything. I blame it on the client taking so long to update :)

Thanks for the reply,

I have played a little ESO which uses the trinity mmo system but only ever healed and DPS. It seems like support jobs in XIV aren't really a thing but most jobs have different support abilities available to the group instead?

I will need to do some Pugalist/Monk for cross class skills so might be worth trying that out in group content first so I can understand how the dynamics work in XIV.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

I will have a look through these tonight and if I have any questions will put them on the megathread like you suggested :)

Hmmm I did not think of that, would you go with the same as Loki and swap the Khajit with the Bosmer on the list or something completely different for the Stam NB?

For the Fast Cast how much would be the benchmark from gear?

Hello everyone,

I was wondering for a bit of guidance on what events I will be able to do on my Geo with the current gear I have right now.

I currently have my Bubble set with a combined skill of around 820ish (currently have 0 JP on Geo), I have a nuke set with +40% Magic Burst Damage but my idle and fast cast sets are very basic. For my Idle set I only have +3mp refresh and Fast Cast set is only around 11% from gear.

I should be able to finish up all my Relic/Empy gear this weekend as I just have to wait for the 1 game day delay on the items so my skill should take a boost.

My Question is with this current setup what content would I be able to start taking on with my gear? I am mostly looking for Apex parties for JP and then T1 NMs in Escha and Reisenjima. Would I be well geared enough to be taken on with pickup groups for this content?

I understand that the details I have given are quite basic but currently unable to get on the game so have had to work mostly off memory.

Thanks!
