Generally, crafting is not too difficult. However, it is heavily recommended that you level all crafting classes up, at least to around level 32 or so.

This is because of the way cross-class...

More than weapons though, I'd ask you for mechanics. What is the main damage mechanic or playstyle that Pirate would address?

We've seen them play with a combination melee and ranged caster using...

If anything, I would just modify the LB3 to do the skill chain.

If you succeed, you get an LB4.
If you fail the active time event, you still get the LB3.
And if you die while doing it, it's...

Most of the classes are built to be stable starting at level 60. Until then, a lot of the classes are incomplete as you are lacking many mechanics. Level 30 has a job change and will introduce new...

I'm not sure what you mean by profession, but FFXIV is a game that allows your character to freely change your class. This means one character can have levels in all classes, and your stats change...

I've seen this vampiric healer idea tossed around a lot, and I've seen them in a lot of games. WoW's shadow priests have been heavily nerfed in terms of healing now though, so there are some concerns...

From a roleplay perspective, necromancers might justify as edgy healers. Yes, they largely raise up armies of the dead and are evil, but that could also mean they're adept at handling and...

It's more or less a high level strategy of MP and damage optimization. Essentially, you are trying to optimize the damage you can do and your MP efficiency as much as possible.

When you 'clip' a...

There's a huge troll potential with any job (but especially healer). Healers can by default, refuse to heal properly or even use rescue to prematurely kill tanks or dps on any trial with a pit. So, I...

The issue on job mechanics for ff14 healers is actually two-fold: AST have cards for buffs, WHM have lilies for CDs, and SCH uses aetherflow management. Most healers also have a secondary mechanic...

I see that SE has two choices. Either Role Actions are abilities every Tank/Healer/Melee/Ranged/Caster has access to starting from a certain level, or they are completely optional abilities that...

Those are some interesting ideas.

I can see why SE might have wanted to simplify the use of Esuna into cross-roles (since all healers essentially had the same ability), but in the NA at least, it...

The thief (and the rogue) run into problems in a themepark MMO for the same reason that Red Mage and Bard cannot be true hybrid or support classes.

Such classes do not fit well into the...

If a class is popular, it's popular. People play their jobs for a lot of reasons. Some do it because it's an unpopular job and/or they want to show how special they are to be able to use it, others...

I would consider looking at the Bravely Default series for ideas that SE might be putting around in their offices.

Guardian seems an interesting take on a tank, possibly also acting as a blue mage...

If you want a quick way to level, palace of the dead is probably the fastest way. It can be unlocked by completing the quest, the house that death built.

You can also use hunting logs, fates, and...

There are tools in the FFXIV exe program that help GMs monitor suspicious activity. It doesn't require a player to admit guilt or be caught streaming themselves using the bot program to ban them.

You can level multiple classes on the same character, so you won't have the same alt problem as in other MMOs. In fact, it's easier to level up multiple classes on the same character than on an alt...

healing and buffs will default onto yourself if there is no valid target, even when given with a <t>,<tt>, or <mo> target marker.

You also should be aware that when you pace 2 or more commands...

That's an interesting thought.

I'd actually debate the usefulness and aesthetics of it when you're wielding a Primal weapon that already has an elemental effect, but I'd like to see it at least...

Congratulations on your first dungeon and welcome to the world of tanks! It can be a brutal world out there, but we're all thankful we have someone like you to take the hit for us. Please keep that...

Or you could level both at once. There's enough quests to level 2 jobs at once if you do both story and side quests to 70.

The only way this happens is if hairstyle is classified as equipment. it's possible, but it means the hairstylist goes out of business because everyone prefers wigs instead of real hair.

It...

Just to confirm, but you are with the Gridania GC right?

If that's the case, you will want to buy the Serpent Chocob Issuance from the Serpent GC headquarters in Gridania...

Those are very useful cases, and I believe ASTs have known about spear for a long time and do use it in many of those situations. It does not change the fact that there are many better cards to royal...
