I want to explore. Please adjust monster cap.

I soloed all of them except Wyrmking's perch and I probably could have soloed that one too, it just happened to be that we went there after a raid one night to see what's there. Turns out there's a dungeon entrance up there. I had all of these before 1.18 lol. Turning Leaf used to be the most painful to get to, count yourself lucky they changed the area.

Yea the Guivres suck... Anyone have any screenshots of that place north of Lasthold or w/e? I probably could've got there if I used the Dread Spike trick but I just moved on to the next set of nodes I needed instead.

Took me a while to find it...

I got there along with the rest of the nodes by using Quickstride. Getting to that area was quite painful, I actually set my homepoint at Lasthold and then got as close as I could to the area above before popping Quickstride. Took quite a few tries. Unfortunately Quickstride no longer exists so it may be tough now.

I couldn't get to check out what's at the far top of that area where it turns to water, there's like a billion rank 80 or whatever efts, but I suspect it was either going to be a future zoneline or dungeon.

You either warp exploited or got help. It's physically impossible to pass a row of crabs (example: La Noscea) west side near Bold knoll and they're level 70. They only way you got "lucky" is switching to a gathering job throwing a stone to stun a monster temporarily, but even then recast time and not enough time to get away to get on shot hit from a distance.

Impossible huh? I guess when I walked passed them last night. I made the impossible, possible.

The Black Shroud is the worst. Snakemolt is rage worthy, but nothing is impossible. I soloed all of mine.

This game has started to grow on me to a successful MMO (so close yet so far) however there is still one thing that is on everyone's mind since the achievements came out: crystal port locations.

It's nearly impossible to pass on several dangerous monsters that are at lv 70+ unless an army of groups of friends or Ls are willing to throw one body after another just so a crystal port can be discovered. This isn't an achievement this is suicide. I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) that there will be a little increase level cap some time later in the future but even so some monsters need some readjustment of their level so exploration can be fun and exiting.

If they expect to increase cap (assumingly) one year later or two years, then by all means please adjust it so that we can explore rather than be limited to a few zones where they are boring and unappealing.

Try walking slowly to pass those areas instead of rushing everywhere, you get too much attention.

Shortly after the release of FFXIV I went to the area in your picture, and I continued to the far top of the area where it turns to water. I don't remember there being THAT many efts, but it's likely that mob placement has changed since then. I hate to say it, but the far northern area was nothing special. The last area was a creek with a bunch of Qiqirn hanging around. The path terminated in a waterfall. No going forward. Before I saw the waterfall I had thought that it might be a future zoneline, but now I'm not so sure. I suppose it's possible that they were planning to put a cave behind the waterfall to open up a future zone. Who knows.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter now since we'll be getting new zones. And thank god for that. The world redesign can't come soon enough.

What's Pugot backwards?








































Got poo?

[Anima]

I took a lot of SS in Galmorre Ruins (North of Lasthold) I remember it was nicknamed the "Summoning Circle" in my Server so I checked it out.

It was tons of fun and I actually got it First try lol... what a luck, but yeah It was such a shame when I went north and found out it was only Qiqirns hanging out, although I did poke them and got my ass kicked by those rats!

[SniperRifle]

Just got Snakemolt.
The red line shows the route I took.

Very frustrating indeed. I had to pull the Pugot south at the first intersection before the Creeping Ivy circle, they usually don't move a lot once they follow you/kill you. So you can race back and then just x/walk passed the Waterdogs/Guivres.

There was 1 more Pugot literally right next to the Aetheryte area w/ a Waterdog I just full buffed and prayed, and got the node.

Never going back there again! /cheer

I was going to say that summoning circle reminded me of the Dragon Burial Grounds in Skyrim. I wonder what will be summoned there?

[Neasa]

I wasn't even aware you could walk passed certain enemies. This doesn't seem to be widely known. XD
Even still, I soloed most of them. Sentinel. <3

You give too much redundant advice. I know what the "x" button command is and the slow walk command right between the auto run button on my Longitech controller. Also, as mentioned here from the other players it doesn't work. "Walking" only helped me when I went to the moogle fight (and beaten it), so it's already a given I know that command. You're not helping, you're actually spamming at this point.
