Slow, but steady: heading towards the end of current game content. First of all, leveling. My jobs are almost done, both toons are counting less than 40 levels to go each: And I'm realizing that it's gonna be the end of FFXIV's active gameplay phase for now. Which is good, as my new IRL job … Continue reading FFXIV: Whereabouts

I've realized it's been a while since I posted my FFXIV adventures. Worry not, it's yet my primary game and pastime, and I'm not idle at the very least :) Raiding First of all, now I have reset tasks, and this is raiding :) As far as I get it, there will be no more … Continue reading FFXIV: Leveling, Gearing, Raiding & Side Questline Recap

So, here came the announcement of the first Warcraft mobile game - Warcraft Arclight Rumble. Obviously, it was met with a lot of hate and dislikes, roughly split in three major beefs (from my PoV, poorly justified): It's a ripoff from Clash Royale/Whatever Supercell Games (please point which of other Blizzard titles was not a … Continue reading Warcraft Arclight Rumble: My Impressions

A lot of past week's gameplay was spent for Summoner/Scholar leveling - moreover, twice. Yes, Arcanist is the class that levels both jobs simultaneously, and yet I split the experience for two toons for rolpeplay/vibe sakes, so: Yeah, level 50 on both toons, roulettes are now available, and counting. Summoner, much like Red Mage, acquires … Continue reading FFXIV: Arcanist Misadventures & Overall Progress

No wonder that reaction to the reveal was quite polarized. TL;DR: personally I'm in the underwhelmed camp after the presentation. But let's discuss it all one by one. The Speakers. I should say that presentation went a lot better than the infamous Zereth Mortis patch reveal. The "inclusive" card was played pretty decently, allowing room … Continue reading WoW Dragonflight Reveal: A Scaly Fan Fest

Well, you did not expect me to sit idle and watch a "0" gap in the list of my jobs where Scholar was meant to be, did you? Yesterday I had the idea of leveling arcanist on both of the toons, and split my efforts upon getting a soulstone to Summoner on mi'qote and Scholar … Continue reading FFXIV Summoner: A Pet Class of No-Pet Gameplay

*spoiler alert: I will be talking about MSQ and new raid lore, so approach with care Right, so I've tested the many new things about 6.1. patch, and ready with my impressions post. Mind you, I'm a casual player, so I'm skipping the big ass raiding apart from the basic level, min-maxing, gear and other … Continue reading FFXIV: Patch 6.1. Impressions and Review

I've closed so many, many loose ends in the recent days. Still more to go, but the bulk of tasks before patch is complete. Smileton/Stigma dungeons: done on both toons. Asphodelos: first 4 bosses defeated by my lalafell, mi'qote to go there once.YorHA/Eden/Werlyt raids and questlines: done on both toons (well, apart from weekly gating … Continue reading FFXIV: Ready for the Patch 6.1.!

Exploring new FFXIV jobs/classes is challenging for a beginner. I encountered this problem myself: every next job guide you meet in the web will throw an engineering-value blueprint at you. Dozens of abilities – most of them you don’t even have until final levels. The worst thing about guides is they lack comprehension and aim to maximize … Continue reading FFXIV Red Mage: Basics Guide for Dummies
