lvl 50 and grinding for gears - Bored

[amnie]

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

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 >.>

To 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.
