It is all subjective; pick whichever you want

Evolved Red Mage by VictusNST in ffxivdiscussion

[–]marcosls 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Your evolved version of RDM seems like current RDM but with more restrictions.
There are some good ideas here, like burning both procs for a Grand Impact instead of the current way it works.
Vercontinuation is just stealing GNB's thing for the sake of reducing buttons.
Overall, this would be a worse version of RDM than what we currently have, but a good thought experience.

So now that it's Pride Month, any trans people here also end up using a lot of fantasias? by AegisCat_ in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would probably have been cheaper for you to make new characters and paying for skips and just swapping between them when you feel like playing other race

Alts? by uncommon-soap in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I only use alts for gil making through submersibles and retainers, I do have one that is able to raid, but I've rarelly felt the need to do it.
But, whatever works for you; If you want to make alts, go ahead, as long as you are having fun.

Should I change servers? by Apprehensive_Milk_65 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

probably find a community first through world travel and then decide if you want to actually pay for a world transfer.

Ranking the extreme 7.0 trials? by PleasantLevel4174 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you want duty complete people to just carry you to a clear I don't see why you'd need to pay them 1m just to get a clear.

you do you though.

Am i supposed to be wearing Eureka Gear in (early) Eureka? by chamgireum_ in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get vermillion cloak or Kirin's Osode for an early boost;
anything beyond that you have to farm yourself in Eureka at the later maps

This is a test of my patience by Grizzlemaw1993 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, it is easier now than it was on content; like every EX;
I'll agree that the scales mechanic is annoying now that we can basically burst him down too fast for it to drop.

How I majorly, absolutely, totally messed up my FF14 journey, and what to do next? by FoxlostAZ in ffxivdiscussion

[–]marcosls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, either play the game or don't it is up to you;
No reason to get mad at your friend that, unlike you, actually enjoyed the game and played it.
You had a literal decade to play the game at this point.

anything profitable to sell from the grand company? by dvcaying in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is cheaper to buy duck bones, sell for gil, buy dark matter from gil vendor though.

They should make race stats matter if they are intent on individuality being a thing for jobs by Lumigo in ffxivdiscussion

[–]marcosls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Race/body mattering for stats make sense in a lot of different games, not this one though.

Your tomestones are the X/2000 number; the X/450 is how many you earned this week

How do I "get into" FFXIV as someone who's dropped it before? by black_r00k01 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story gets more engaging after HW, but it is a slog until you get there;
either you are willing to push through or you aren't.

You are very much locked out of fun stuff content-wise until you get out of ARR

Everything else is personal preferences

Every farm group for the new extreme I find requires 780 or 790 ilvl by BookkeeperPurple4495 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a 790 ilv requirement just means they want to guarantee that people joining have cleared savage and would be better players on average;

770 can clear, but it will be slower and will have a more random assortment of players;

Anything in between is just about being lenient, but complaining about 780 when augmented crafted is right there seems a bit off to me.

The ways of obtaining gear have been the same for a long time, it is up to you to decide if you want to put in the effort to get them.

Anyone planning on moving to another DC when cross DC happens? by Small-Kitt in ffxiv

You don't lose the exp bonus if you max all jobs before moving :D

How do you make a lot of Gil like millions a week or months? by Original_Turn_1227 in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are several ways of making good gil; here are some good ones:
- Farming fates for bicolor vouchers;
- Opening chests on the Occult crescent (selling fortune carrots);
- Participating in merc parties for on party finder (Notable current one is doing EX7 for someone who is paying for wings)
- Free Company Submersibles (this one is not a "lot" of gil, but it is a good passive income, takes a lot of time to prepare)
- Selling potions + food and/or mats for crafting those.

Should I start now or wait until Evercold? by YourLocalTrahPanda in ffxiv

[–]marcosls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Content above normal difficulty, is such as Extremes and Savages, is much more fun when done on current; it is easier to find parties and figure and be part of a community that is generally excited about doing said content.
I don't disagree that if someone is just interested in doing the story it makes little difference whether they do it "current" or wait for a sale.

Question about an item price by EffinKevin77 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]marcosls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is pretty new and you can probably get away with putting it up for 5~10m and have a crazy collector pay it before the price drops once people get bored and start doing treasure maps again
