A couple of disclaimers before we start: 1. First, the list itself is a spoiler for Endwalker MSQ, so approach with care if you haven't played it. 2. Second, like all ranking lists, the post is quite a personal opinion and based on personal likes/dislikes. I am not trying to be objective at the very … Continue reading Scions of the Seventh Dawn: Ranked

I've struck a glamour problem that I haven't figured out yet - and request help. Maybe, like with shared hotbars, it can be solved in a click, so I'd be grateful for a piece of advice. The thing is, say, I have a machinist/bard or monk/samurai shared piece of gear - for example, a chest … Continue reading FFXIV: In the Wake of Shadowbringers & Glamour Issues

My next side quest milestone was the next leveling expansion - Stormblood, and I'm happy to announce that it is now done on both alts. As always and as hoped for, I'm now fully aware what is happening in all the quest hubs and zones of the expansion. Nothing too epic, but a number of … Continue reading FFXIV: Stormblood Done & More Alt Jobs

As always, the lengthy New Year holidays left not so much time for gaming - the Xmas/New Year blended pre-holiday fuss and celebrations, visits from relatives and visits to relatives and friends, and I barely had 3 days of vacation left to chill at home at peace and at my keyboard. Those few days were … Continue reading FFXIV: Post-Holiday Progress & Housing Ready!

It's December 31, and I'm glad to certify several achieved milestones in FFXIV for this year. Endwalker MSQ was done a while ago, that's out of question, but now I'm free to level alt jobs as I please, with no rush. I haven't seen Pandaemonium story and raid yet, but again, I haven't seen most … Continue reading FFXIV: Milestones and Plans for 2022

It's December 30, and it's time to draw the line under 2021. This year in my gaming was both sad and happy. Sad - because my major hobby, World of Warcraft, THE Game for more than a decade is basically on life support today, with the all-time lowest credit from players including myself, and with … Continue reading Another Year of Gaming and Blogging

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 … Continue reading FFXIV Black Mage: Basics Guide for Dummies

I'm now firmly settled in the routines of FFXIV leveling. Two alts, I try to duty-roulette through my number of raids and dungeons on both, and then I level the job I feel like today, through eligible highest level dungeon and side questing. Side quests are exactly what I lacked during MSQ - world building, … Continue reading FFXIV: Leveling Trivia & Pre-Holiday MMO Fuss

My agenda has not changed from my initiate plan, and this is what I'm up to now: exploring and leveling the jobs I picked, while experiencing the story and group content on the way that I left for later apart from MSQ. Leveling alts in my case is something of a slog, because it's not … Continue reading FFXIV: Alt Jobs & Plowing Through Older Content

As Endwalker MSQ thunderclaps are fading in the horizon, leaving the most pleasant aftertaste and a crave for more, I am back to the pre-expansion routines - focusing on exploring and leveling alt jobs. My primary goal today is leveling my main's alt jobs - monk, samurai and dancer, then I plan to catch up … Continue reading FFXIV: Back to Routines, Housing & the Case of “Normal” Quests
