Relic Weapons and Gear

[Maero]

Hey Maero, welcome to the game! MMOs are not a race. Do things that interest you. Titan Hard Mode is part of the relic quest post level 50. If you want to see the fight, you can go to youtube. There's a few guides out there.

Thanks, i am rather enjoying this game and now am thinking i will now do other MMO's as well.
It's good to know there is still things to do after the story line is complete

Yes we have a ways to go and lots to enjoy. I am just a tiny bit up from you and enjoying it all the way, the dungeons are the hardest for me, as the chance grouping and lack of communication among the duty found teams is a bit daunting but it seems to go ok so far. My fav is the story and the wonderful cut scenes,and the character design is superb...best I have ever seen as is the graphics and design of the entire world, superbly beautiful..but it is a hard working game and I can only imagine how hard Yoshi will work us as we level up.... i still dont have much of a clue what the relics etc are but will research that as i get closer and I am sure the game will explain it, i dont want to be spoiled too much as it is fun to be surprised. Enjoy your journey!

I have studied other MMOs and many of them are uninspired and bascially a struggle to get past the bosses planted at key places that are just out of your reach requiring you to team up with other players all a ploy to get more subscribers...ditto the gear race and the grinding, ie digging for more and more XP and stuff.... this one is different and every part is fun and well designed and quite beuatiful. I am enjoying the crafting for the first time too.

You'll fight all the primals again after the main story is over yes. And then Crystal tower (not released yet, please look forward to it) and Binding Coil of Bahamut.

You should add that the 'main story' is over - for the time being. 2.1 and beyond may (IIRC) bring additional story quests as the story is expanded and extended.

Make sure you stay up to date (every 5 levels) with your class quests too. I made this mistake and walked into a lvl 49 dungeon at 50 thinking everything was good and the healer gave me a very "spirited" lecture...

at 45 you get 4 pieces of lvl 50 armor (head, legs, feet and gloves I think) and at 50 you get a level 55 chest. Makes a pretty big impact on your character.

Plus, it's all class specific and looks AMAZING!

So far i only struggled in Tam Tara as i went in with random people and had to tank and DPS, it was not fun.
But with a FC much more enjoyable

Follow your job/class/storyline quests up to 50 and level up other classes for any useful cross class abilities. Then move on to endgame.

Its slightly out of date because of the changes in tomestone drop amounts which are now higher in a few places.

Slightly shameless plug. We covered this on our last podcast episode. Warning: we are explicit and go offtopic sometimes SBXIV 68: Now What Do I Do?
