New player, a few questions!
Hello all! I bought the game last week, and I'm having a pretty good time (can't wait for chocobos!!)! But I had a few questions if anyone can help. They are mostly CON/THM related, but I wasn't sure if I should put the thread in one of those forums, so I put it here! Anyways...
1) While soloing as CON or THM, would you recommend equipping and using Aegis Boon? I messed around with it, and the heals proc'ed randomly, so I'm just not sure if it's worth using (and taking up 3 points) when on mage classes.
2) I just recently did the first Conjurer-only level 20 quest, and it gave me around 2000 Conjurer Guild Marks. How do I get more of them? Are they just random awards from regional guildleves, or are there more Conjurer quests I can do? I saw I had another one at 30, but are there more before then?
3) For some reason, I'm getting less EXP/Skill points from mobs now that I'm 21. Is this normal? I was fighting some level 28-29 enemies in Coerthas (was exploring - beautiful zone), and I only got 400~xp and 240~SP. Before, when I was fighting mobs 8-9 levels higher than me, I would get 1000~XP and around 500~SP. Am I doing something wrong? :(
4) When my weapon says things like "30% Earth, 35% Ice, 30% Water" - what does this mean? Does that mean those spells do 30% more damage? Or you take 30% less damage from them?
5) As CON, is it worth putting the DoTs like Shock, Frost, etc on while soloing or should I just be spamming my nukes? Currently, what I do is use Profundity + Spiritbind + Blizzard to open with. Then I put on Shock, and use Thunder, then Blizzard again, etc etc. Is there a better way to fight as CON?
If I think of anything more, I'll add. :) I'd be very appreciative of any help! Thanks!
New player as well- equipment question!
Hey all, found my way into the game a few days ago and I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far. However I've also got a question on equipment levels. The forum explanations arent super clear so can we touch on this one more time please? :)
Item level vs class level- regarding weapons and tools: How much of a penalty is there for using an item above your craft rank?
Saw in a bs guide people saying get your birdsbeak asap- much higher success rates when skilling at low levels.
With that in mind I found a dodofeather? Pickaxe for 19k and snapped it up. As well as a steel head knife for leatherworking on the cheap, i.e. 25k or so. Did I screw myself there? Stats were better than the weathered gear I was using...
If I did should I backtrack and try to shoot for one tier above or below my current class rank? I know I'm in for a grind beating because to improve my chosen professions And gear I needed to skill up other professions, etc. No comment on the ash saw handle for my bronze saw!
I'm not looking at min maxing, just ways to improve my game and not inadvertantly gimp myself!
Thanks for the help and scuse any typos, smartphone post here!
