That first run to Jeuno through Jugner!  SABER TOOTH TIGER NROOOO.

Speaking of tigers, farming tiger fangs.  Ugh!

Speaking of farming!  Stroper Chymes.  Double UGH!  Man what were all the RMT names.  I can only remember Indians atm...

Dreaming of Level 75.

Trying to find a party on DRG...

...

Making parties on DRG.  With no prior camp knowledge.

That first SATA Wheeling Thrust Light Skill Chain.  Pew pew!

CoP glory days, man that was a good xpac.

He's going to transfer to Sargatanas Oct 15 though, RIGHT ALEX!

Just saying, it's the most significant stat.  Not going to argue weapons make a huge difference!  4% is a decent increase anyway, I should do some testing on my own.

Hahaha, on the prowl!  Who's next!

I think you may not notice it because damage numbers aren't that big right now but the primary stats actually have a really big impact on your dps.  1STR is equal to like 10DTR.  (Don't quote me on those numbers, just saying STR is huge!)  Forget about Skill Speed, DTR, Crit Rate.  Boost your primary stat over everything else!

Everything Maj said, it's a whole lot of fun and easy to get into.  XIV supports casual play a lot better than XI, and there's a bunch more modern features that allow you to group up more easily.  There's a Duty Finder that lets you register for what dungeon you want to enter, it'll queue you up on the job you're on, and then you can run off and swap jobs and craft, fish, mine, solo level, do whatever until the Duty Finder let's you know your group is ready.  I'll admit it's a little impersonal (it draws players from all servers so it's hard to form friendships and keep in touch, or conversely blacklist and avoid certain people >_>) but I'll take a 10min wait in an automated queue for something I want to do while I do stuff on other jobs versus shout camping in Jeuno for hours with no other activities to keep me occupied.  And there's a ton of stuff to do solo as well, even the AF quests are designed for solo play (it actually forces you to do them solo).  You should definitely try it out!

So I'm hitting up some leves in Costa Del Sol when everyone starts screaming that I need to get out to Central Shroud ASAP.  I port out to see what all the fuss is about and after I follow the stream of people to the source of the commotion I'm greeted by this scene of chaos.



What's that?  You can't see because there's a massive explosion on the screen?  Fine...  let's try again.



Ummm, there were a lot of flashings and boomings.  Not an epileptic friendly occasion.



This is about the best shot I got of Odin himself.  I...  actually never got a good look at him between all the players and all the effects going off.

And of course after a good 15min of pewpewing our good Norse friend decided he'd had enough and wiped everyone out with his signature slash!  Much raging was had but it was a pretty fun event regardless.  Next time Odin, next time!!

Look who I found while wandering around La Noscea!



Sadly this imposter was not the real deal!  The Areya I know wouldn't have such trouble with a Lv8 Galago!  Hurry and join us on Sargatanas rey!!!

Rhaegar creepin.

*Destroys all spoilers!*

Ohhhh MYAAAAAAI GWAAAAAAAAWD

Can't wait, I really really hope they fixed my shit!

Disneykarma gonna be back tooooooo, for those that remember him!

Nice, I remember soloing Tojil on my DRG at 75 cap.

On that note!

PS: Going to Sargatanas!

I think Fzi has a pop still too.

I get the feeling that Dynamis trials will actually be worse during this time just because so many people will be trying to do them.  Maybe if you went in the morning or something.

I'll probably be doing a Central Apollyon II for Arch-Omega access (Omega for sure this time!) sometime soon, maybe Sunday.  May as well get as many KIs as possible again, can decide best times depending on schedules of those interested.

OUTRAGEOUS

Sounds fun.  I think you mean Arch Ultima though if you're doing Basement II.

I haven't seen anyone yet!  Probably because I haven't really played it much...  But that doesn't prevent me from branding you all scoundrels!

Finally dug this up and made a character, Cyril Avaran if you guys are still around!
