My fresh leveling toon finished Titania in FFXIV. Nothing special of the act itself, it's an arena-style raid boss, required to advance through MSQ (Main Story Questline). So everyone that made it past level 73 killled it at least once, and so had a chance to receive it in duty roulette when leveling alt classes. … Continue reading FFXIV/WoW: Community Difference

Styrgeim doubled on dark stuff and rolled a Reaper immediately upon 70 :) I've played Reaper before on my Lalafell, so I'm familiar with the RPR rotation basics - simple and flashy enough to enjoy the job. Too bad I haven't thoroughly explored its current level yet: MSQ is reserved for Dark Knight, and roulettes … Continue reading FFXIV: Reaper!

There, Hesperos went down for the last time tonight, and that concludes my gear farming in this tier. The only thing left is another stroll to Aglaia upon Tuesday reset, and my flaghsip 2 alts are benched until patch 6.2.! Here's the gear sheet of a casual FFXIV raider, I think I did very well: … Continue reading FFXIV: Farming Done!

Having transferred to FFXIV completely as my major MMO and gaming pastime, I remember my WoW times with a mix of nostalgy and yuck. Of course, can't help comparing both games inadvertently - so yes, that would be a comparison post :) It is yet a question if and when I would return to WoW. … Continue reading The Things That I Don’t Miss in WoW – and Things That I Do

I've been planning a fashion show off for a while. With all the peaceful currency farming and little things to report, I think it's finally time. My miqo'te plays 8 combat jobs, so here we go. GUNBREAKER (tank) Gunbreaker is a tanking class whose weapon combines the properties of a sword and a gun. The … Continue reading FFXIV: The Glams My Miqo’te Wears

Lo, my FFXIV adventures have crossed a certain threshold. Job Leveling. Done and done! I'm 90 at all the jobs I play - so my altoholism is quite sated. It is so cool that I have a wide range to play - even during farming, I would vary and hop from one job to another … Continue reading FFXIV: Asphodelos Farming Done… Long Live Farming!

It's been roughly a year since I started playing FFXIV for reals, and well, I can finally say I caught up. I've got four major goals today - for better or for worse, almost complete. Leveling. Well... yeah. Two more days of duty roulettes to finalize the last job. This is great, because frankly I'm … Continue reading FFXIV: Quick Update

As the final stages of leveling go on, I bumped into a SCH finale. It was a great build up for a course of 80 levels, and I expected a moving piece, but it deserves a separate post after I'm through with it. Just.. don't make me retell it, it was one of the most … Continue reading Scholar Job Finale

*That's me fighting Ultima, Garuda barier part So, June is when I started my third (and this time successful) try of FFXIV, and after a year I can finally say I caught up with everything. Leveling Jobs: less than 20 levels to go each, the Arcanist duo left, split into two toons: I finished Gunbreaker … Continue reading FFXIV: A Couple Weeks To Go

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
