I bought one for an RP character to get him into kugane quickly, and I'd like to do the same for another character. Do we have any idea when this will be allowed?
When can we buy a second level boost?

4.1, whenever that's slated to come out. This was mentioned during the reveal of the job boosts.

not before 4.1
And it is not 100% if it come with 4.1, it is still a "maybe" -

Doubt it so far is one per account. Unless your using a separate account don't think it will happen soon.

Finally I thought kugane was a safe spot with no RMT bots, now they will take over kugane (as if lominsa wasn't enough).

08-17-2017, 04:54 AMBourne_EndeavorThis will never happen. RMTs don't buy things from the mogstation as it defeats the entire purpose. It's why Balmung and Gilgamesh had no RMTs anywhere long before they were locked. RMTs wouldn't pay for a transfer.Quote:

Shouldn't even be able to get one in my opinion. Then again I can toggle 7 kids and a 40 hour+ work week and still get it done. It's called time management.

Anyone saying we shouldnt be able to have more than one is tryhard who fails at real life and compensates with games.
So, someone who likes alts and knows how to play each role well shouldnt be able to skip an incredibly boring slog through ARR or grinding? FOH with that crap. -
08-17-2017, 10:38 AMSyfurionAssuming this is true, which I have trouble believing, time management doesn't make leveling through the same content repeatedly any less painful the 6th or 7th or 8th time around.Quote:

08-17-2017, 10:40 AMmandodo69Not my fault you can't handle life and have to cheat to get to max level. But I don't need to prove anything to you either, the ones who know, my fc mates, all whom I know in real life, know what's up but, it's cool, believe what you want. Sad.Quote:

Most people have a time/money imbalance. Allowing them to pay money to make up for time is a great profit maker and allows some with very little time to enjoy the same content that others with much more time are enjoying. Allowing me to pay money to have my alts catch up on the Main story would be nice.
I dunno why you have such a chip on your shoulder about it mandodo69, are we going to ruin your game by having more characters at endgame?
Commendation on spending time with all 6(1 pending) kids AND working AND being able to relax and play games. I have trouble with just me and my job making time for friends, immediate family and games. -
08-17-2017, 11:18 AMmandodo69So far, 90% of those I play with who use jump potions honestly suck. They cause dungeon wipes on the basic pulls and seem to forget some abilities are locked behind job quests. Do you know how many smn\\'s that are 70 and still don\\'t have bahamut? A lot. I mean a lot a lot and it\\'s getting worse. So yeah, it effects me. Had a healer yesterday in all ilvl 150 gear trying to do doma. They met the bare. When asked, they bought a jump potion. Sigh.Quote:

They had less HP than a Bard with minimum ilvl sync for that dungeon. They died to -everything-. -
08-17-2017, 11:42 AMKrotoanAlright, new players suddenly at endgame are trying. I gotcha. I'm with you there, they're annoying.Quote:

What you might like though is there are going to be more Healers and Tanks from players who didn't want to grind those classes up from scratch but are very aware of what they should be like at endgame. They'll make queues faster.
Also, the 150 ilevel newbie, how did they get to Doma Castle and not have any quest gear?.. or dungeon drops from ANY of the dungeons from 60-67? That's an achievement at least to get there with NO upgrades. -
08-17-2017, 11:49 AMmandodo69PotD maybe? IdkQuote:

Not that I really need to be pushing this thread even further off topic by responding. In either case, I would apologize for doubting the existence of your children, (even if 7 of them is far beyond what I could rationally handle), and would put this to rest.Quote:

I understand that players are anti-potion, because of the bad players that it can create, but the truth is, bad players have always been here. This game has given us options on how to combat the players that are bad and dont want to improve, this option is: Vote Kick.
If a newcomer wants to spend his/her money to skip alot of the game and prevent themselves from enjoying the ARR/HW storyline, then this is their choice. I had a potion user in my party few days ago, he was bad, like BLM that never used Fire IV/Blizzard IV etc. bad. I gave him advice, even asked the tank to pull 1 small group so the BLM could practice. He refused to accept our help, BLM did not care about his preformance, did not care about the group and was fine with being carried. So we took the next action and booted his ass out!
Simple realy, if you think they are bad, kick them out. Its called playstyle differences, GM agreed that this is a valid reason. -

But I jumped... and I like to think I do my best. :c I even ask for tips on various forums. Is it that rare? I'm sad now. - I just wanted to play stormblood. T.T

08-18-2017, 11:18 PMloreleidiangelo"Surprise" in this case is a euphemism for "couldn't be arsed". I also think it's incredibly gauche to brag about how much taxpayer money your kids net you, as though they're assets to be written off.Quote:

And unless they are REALLY struggling, I won't say anything since I've tried before and people have snapped saying they want to do the dungeon blind. When someone speaks up, I will do my best to help them(even going so far as staying in the synced Ifrit EX - got it from Mentor Roulette - until the timer runs out to help them learn it) and give them what advice I can, though it's not always the best of advice since I'm not that great of a healer.Quote:
