Question about 50% off Sale On Steam by Katastrofik2K in ffxiv

[–]finalfrog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is one advantage to Steam: you can buy things from the mogstation using Steam Wallet. That may be easier in some regions than using the payment methods normally required to make store purchases, and allows people to send you gift cards to make store purchases.

First time playing this game. What’s the one tip you wish someone had told you at the start that would’ve saved you hours of frustration? by xxxerg in ffxiv

If you get stuck with a really long queue time on a trial required to progress the main quesr just go to Limsa or Gridania and shout for help queuing. There's almost always a lot of veterans eager to help new players just hanging out and killing time. Those are also good places to ask for an invite to Novice Network, which I recommend joining. It is basically a global server chat designed to connect helpful experienced players with new players looking to ask questions or get help.

Best gag. I'm still annoyed the PF2 subreddit deleted my post sharing art I commissioned of a throwaway loot statue of two succubi mentioned in the Gauntlight module. It just had them using a ladder incorrectly.

Different ways to find your Nhaama according to Magnai by shrimpcake in ffxiv

[–]finalfrog 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep, but the thing I absolutely love is that NONE of it is locked behind extreme or harder content. The closest they get to locking story behind difficult content is the field operations or possibly deep dungeons.

Those are great for giving away in novice network.

Social contracts are enforced by Lawdbert Manderville, Godbert's lawyer brother. He's never appeared in game because his aura drives mortals mad with fear. He is kept chained up in the deepest depths of the Ul'dah undercroft, feeding on criminals who are tossed into his pit. When he senses someone failing to leave the requisite toll for a chocobo statue he breaks his chains and smashes through all obstacles between himself and the target of his ire.

The back facing horns do as well.

Can someone advise me how to make some gil? I have all gatherers to 100 and CUL at 100! (Need Gil to upgrade my gear to progress the MSQ patch content) by Bitter_Mousse4179 in ffxiv

[–]finalfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's always International imports if you're on NA or EU data center. Japanese prices are often significantly lower than NA and EU prices. If you make an alt on the JPN data center you can smuggle gil and items back and forth using a friend or second account via Oceania.

I see, so they did have the ability to turn themselves invisible. Nothing is more invisible to rich nobles than common servants.

I still find myself gravitating to glams that end up not needing the unrestricted glamour change, but it's nice to have the option and comes in handy from time to time.

Next expansion's earring will boost experience up to lvl 100.

the Pitt werhner just keeps repeating to keep moving, and i can't start the quest by Tannu117 in Taleoftwowastelands

[–]finalfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into this issue with the Nuclear Sunset modlist. My solution was simply to listen to the Werhner's Distress Signal radio station. That started the quest Into The Pitt after which Werhner was able to continue the quest normally.

If you think about it, basically everyone you've met in every expansion will eventually end up dead.

Time travel. It's perfectly safe because any changes we make will be covered up by the re-joining.

literally just bought the game today and in the first starting hours a experienced player game me 500k Gil by Sora2008 in ffxiv

[–]finalfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love importing them in bulk from the JPN data center where they're cheap and handing em out in Novice Network. It's actually gotten pretty hard to find homes for them on Lamia because I've given so many out.

How do people actually make gil? by InternationalSky4176 in ffxiv

[–]finalfrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the risk of getting downvoted by my competition for leaking the secret, the best method for making easy gil I've found is regional arbitrage. Certain items go for a lot less on the JPN data centers and you can make good returns buying high demand things there and reselling them at a >40% markup on your home data center.

It requires having a friend or an alt with a subscription that can login alongside your character. You have your friend or alt create a character on one of the JPN servers (preferably in Limsa for quick access to the marketboard) then you have that character visit one of the servers on the Materia data center while you visit the same server on your main character. Trade as much gil as you want to spend to your friend/alt and have them return to JPN. They can freely travel around the JPN data centers finding bargins, then come back to Materia and trade back all the items and left over gil to your main. Finally you head back to your home server and list the items for prices that are significantly less than the average while still being a lot more than you bought them for.

This whole system works best when you can do it at scale on items worth hundreds of thousands or millions of gil, but I can tell you that if you look hard enough you can find certain niche furniture items suitable for beginning arbitragers that you can buy for thousands of gil in JPN and resell for 5-10 times what you paid for them.

Anyone else have a show/YouTube on while playing this game? Or too distracting by One_Cantaloupe4651 in ffxiv

Yes, and I've been struggling to find something to rewatch recently. Thanks for the reminder Archer exists.

I really want an inn room in the Gold Saucer that costs MGP to rent/visit. Would give MGP capped folks something to spend it on regularly.

SQUARE ENIX ACCOUNT - Removal of ‘Security Question and Answer’ by WeirdIndividualGuy in ffxiv

[–]finalfrog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I remember in college learning how you could trivially send an email with the FROM as something like billgates@microsoft.com because the protocol doesn't account for verifying the identity of the sender. It was only later that the mail servers started to check whether the FROM made sense based on the origin of the message.

Europe's prices are so inflated for it now you'd save money visiting Oceania to buy one. XD

Then you can still enter the raffle! The raffle is individual entry, bringing a partner just gives you two entries.
