Hi im new in the game been playing for 2 months, when i hit lvl 50 in my scholar i felt bored and started doing AK/WP i have full DL set, trying to improve my gear is the only thing that keep me active and quiting is no an option, my team/friends from other games are migrating here. Everyone seems to like the game but me. is just that i dont like how much hp trash mobs have in dungeon, in general all mobs are super tankish (Im a scholar so takes a awhile to take them down)
So i run wp/ak 3 times a day. I have in mind that i need to complete titan for my relic weapon, other than that what else FUN can i do? i feel im done with the game and want to move forward which i want but cant because this is the favorite game of my boyfriend.
My only hope is the pvp update in december.
Im very disappointing i dont know if is me or is the game but i feel frustrated and fail.
what you guys think?

2.1 is in 2 week you should wait for it and work toward your relic weapon meanwhile.

I'd be disappointed and bored too if all I did was grind dungeons all day long.

After you get your relic you can try out Coil. You can also level other classes and see if you enjoy them more. There is plenty to do if you're new (ish).

You should give the trades a try. If XIV nailed one aspect of the game, it's the crafting and gathering system. It's just so fun. Other than that, I try spending my time with friends helping them get things done. I don't even have a Relic yet due to the mindless grind you must go through to get the gear to make that quest achievable. (I can't grind. It hurts my brain) But stick it out until 2.1. Many have high hopes for it, and I'm sure it will add a lot more options for everyone. As about 1000 people have said before me, The game is young. It'll grow. :)

Ask yourself ,grind the gears for what?
Try leveling other classes,do some crafting, gathering,
or just stop playing this game -

3 relics so far, working on lvling 2 more jobs , relics for those then work on bard .. not too keen on melee dps tbh .
There isn't much to do if you only play one job . Crafting last but tbh Im not really into crafting .
2.1 better be good cause im going to have 6 lvl 50s with full DL armor and relic by then probably . Ive also done coil up to Turn 4 . Hopefully gear up with lvl 80 armor in 2.1 . -

Same here bored to hell. I play less and less, coil 2x a week and waiting for the patch. Because I ran WP 200x to make gear there is nothing left beside waiting.

Why not to ask your boyfriend? :confused:

if you don't enjoy the game don't force yourself to play. ask yourself what it is you don't enjoy.
is it the GRIND? - find other options
is it your CLASS? - try playing a different one
is it the COMBAT SYSTEM? - it will never drastiscally change
is it the WORLD? - it will never change (well, ok ok that can actually happen. lol)
is it the LORE? - it will not change
if you don't like how much hp an enemy has in a dungeon and you wonder why it takes you so long to take one down as a SCHOLAR it may indeed be time for you to role a different class (or roll SMN, you should have THM up enough for swiftcast anyway)
of course doing one dungeon 3 times a day will get boring fast. why are you doing that? cap as fast as possible? why? you have a whole week to cap your tomes, do other dungeons! (I sincerely hope your answer isn't 'I need to join your boyfriend'. seriously, you're your own person, enjoy yourslf! and if you don't enjoy yourself - find something else) -

Honestly this games great, yes you will be grinding a lot but in 2 weeks it'll be easier and more fun. And pvp and housing. If you don't have your relic yet your still new. Keep trying titan

This is a good game, however currently when you get to 50 there really isn't much to do. I have all but DoH jobs to 50 except alchemy and gold smithing, but that was kind of a waste of time. I got mnk drg and warrior to 50, however only play my monk and even then I just do ak/wp ~10 times a week. I haven't gotten into a set group for coil yet, but that is soon going to change - I did get my relic weapon so that's cool. However the problem is when I'm not doing ak/wp or when I'm not running coil when I do get in a group, there is no reason to log into the game. I literally started playing rift the other day because I had no reason to log into ffxiv.
So OP, if you are bored with the game, try out some of the f2p AAA titles out there like rift or swtor. There is really no shame in doing so and you aren't forced to play only one game. Basically, do the things you do in this game, but when you are done with them just play a different game. -

Have you done any of the primal HM fights they are quite fun I haven't tried titan since my first run I decided to gear up a bit more first. But i'm in a similar boat to you only the one 50 DoW so far and the story is done now waiting on 2.1, So you could try crafting or gathering not that they are much fun all doh are fundamentally the same type of game play and can get very grindy but the joy is when you start to make a profit on the items you craft.
Leve quests can be a good gill earner on DoW/DoM classes I'm told but they are much the same as any go here kill this quest. If you are into collecting things trying to get all the minions could be a target to aim for it really depends on what aspects of the game you are having fun with. If you can't really think of anything at all you want to do then maybe take a short break and see if you get the itch to come back and do something. 2.1 will be here soon and with it a slew of harder primal battles dungeons, dungeon roulette solo only you join a random dungeon and get tomes for it, and thank goodness for those of us that tire of that kind of content (not me ^^ ) we have Housing (<FC> only for now) Treasure hunts and beastmen dailies I'm not sure what this will be but i hope it is more than go to strong hold kill X amount of beastmen and return. Oh and more story quests and PvP. -

Ah yes level other classes. So that you then can.... grind AK/WP even more for another set of DL! Sounds fun :D
For now grinding dungeons will be the only way to advance your character for a while. 2.1 will introduce some dailies, but I highly doubt they will completely replace dungeon grinds. That aside, be happy you haven't gotten your relic yet, because once you get past that progression pretty much stops completely since Coil you complete once a week and the Myth cap is hit within 1-2 hours after Coil and then you can wait till next week for another shot at i90 stuff.
As for lvling other classes. It sucks. It's just endless fate grinding over and over, to get another class which you then must gear by running WP/AK even more and in the end you won't even use more than one class that often since Myth gear and Coil drops generally go to your main, leaving any alts you got undergeared for Coil. As for other instances, no point changing class for those, it would just give you longer queues (unless you go tank).
DoL is the same old "Imma turn on a movie on second screen while randomly clicking to gather" so that's probably not very entertaining for the most. DoHs are fun at first, so I'd definitely get at least one up, but once you start levelling multiple DoHs it just turns into a "spam leves - 1-50 in a day - ??? - Profit" kind of thing.
As for your dmg problem. Cross class Cleric Stance from your Conjurer. It gives you a massive dmg boost and you should never have an issue with dmg when you got that. Just remember your Fairy uses your Mnd the moment you summon it, so never summon your Fairy while in Cleric Stance, because that switches your Int and Mnd around.
Stupid 1k limit >.> -

12-01-2013, 11:56 PMFreakiieTo be honest, I'm not really playing it at the moment. I'm just sitting online a lot, chatting with friends/fc waiting to wipe some more on Twintania until reset, at which point I get to do a few WP runs for Myth, then do T1-4, hope to get some drops and then wipe some more on T5 until reset, while waiting for 2.1 and hoping that gives me some more stuff to do.Quote:
