    My Gladiator is lvl 18 now, i thought id lvl up the conjurer to 15 as i think i need it to access the Paladin job on Gladiator later?
    Either way it was a total grind and a pain to lvl up without story quests,im guessing it just got so slow as the gap between the Glad lvl 18 got smaller thus negating the xp bonus you get depending on how many levels apart you are from your main class --- if that makes sense.

    You should have access to instances now. Should be fairly easy to get xp with that? Also consider looking for XP buff food to either make or buy..
    Yes a 15 Conj is needed for Pala afaik.

    Seph it's not necessary no. Just depends on what you want to do with the game as there are a lot of options.

    I meant to say the grind was from lvl 10 to 15,no instances available until 10 hence the grind.
    Tell me more about this XP buff food.

    Any food I've come across seems to give a % XP buff along with some stats.
    I've not tried out Culinarian but it might be worth it for that alone.

    Just killed Ifrit. Pretty sweet looking

  • Registered Users Posts: 227 ✭✭Mthor5


    Really enjoying this,just got the black Mage job but also taking the time to level up mining,botany and gold smithing,first mmo in a while where I am not in a rush to level up and just enjoying the atmosphere.
    One problem I find is I get a slight lag/delay on spell cast, maybe .5 to 1 second a lot of time.You know the enemies red target area,can be well outside of it but still get hit,and trying to time the instant cast spells can be a pain,pressing 2 or even 3 times.
    Anyone else have this?(on the pc btw)

    I've not had problems at all tonight. And I've logged off and on a number of times for different reasons...

    But as posted previously, hopefully the upgrade next week(?) will resolve the login issues for good.

    Thats the main reason i stopped playing GW's 2 was due to the lack of the trinity, i know they replaced it with something else but it wasnt the same. It seemed to be a more aoe damage game than anything else.

    Good if you want to jump in and out but wasn't something id play lng term. I really like what im hearing about story mode in this game, so will give it a go.

    Looks like the servers have gone into meltdown again :(

    At least I got a few hours in this morning (albeit hungover.....).

    I'm away with work for the next 3 weeks, so won't be able to play, hopefully everything will be sorted by the time I'm back!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,447 ✭✭✭Calhoun


    So funny seeing people online going mad over it, it's like this should be expected at any launch . At least they are being active about sorting it extra week and stopping sale of digital edition.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Noxin


    The servers themselves were fine today. I've been online all day (shameful I know but had nothing better to do)

    They announced in game that they had to do some emergency maintenance on the logon server though and advised us not to log out.
    No idea how long it was due to last. Hopefully by Wednesday this will all be resolved.

    I'm going Paladin so currently have my Gladiator at 22 and Conjurer at 15.

    I found the Conjurer kinda boring to level to be honest. Very easy though. I was able to kill mobs 5 levels higher than me while doing hunts without much problem.
    Needed to get him to 15 for Paladin job so I'll be back to Gladiator now.

    Server update tonight i might actually get in tomorrow for longer than a few minutes.

    Very hard for me anyway and loads of other people to get in over the weekend,there suppose to be adding more servers tomorrow and we get an extra 7days.

    Had no problems over the weekend but on Monday it was chaos. Between not being able to see the server list (even though it was up) to 1017 when you finally could see it. I tried for about 5 minutes and didn't bother after that. Didn't bother trying yesterday either.

    Hopefully after today, these issues will be resolved. I think the servers are due to come back online around 11am. But this was a big job so it really wouldn't surprise me if they do not.

    Will know more this evening. Fingers crossed this gets resolved and they can look at some smaller things that need adding.

    Odd. I had no problems today. Into a queue of about 50ish. Logged in about 15 seconds later..
    They are still restricting logons though for a day or two.

    Managed to get on last night, spent 90minutes running around to talk to a guy then another then another rinse and repeat none of these quests I involved combat :-(
    Incredibly boring, I'm hoping I get back to combat soon.
    I'm sticking to the main story quest as I heard I need to for the mount, no mount yet at lvl 21.

    :confused::confused:
    What quest was that? Can't say I remember it.
    At 21 you are close to the mount quest but it is not quite as simple as that.
    The quest will ask you to join a grand company. Or is THAT what you were doing? Visiting the three towns for the memorial service thingy?
    Once you finish that, you join a grand company of your choosing, after which you need to save up 2000 of their marks to get a chocobo licence. Very easy to get this. Just do company hunts, dungeons or fates.
    I managed to save about 3500 fairly quick (the extra was for a nice tanking sword that was better than anything else I had)

    I'm still sitting at 23 on my Gladiator. Personal choice. I wanted to craft some nice heavy Iron armor that is available at level 25 so spent some time getting HQ materials. The metal is easy. The leather however is not so much. Plenty of regular leather, but the HQ stuff is pretty rare. I don't think I even need much.
    Will hopefully have it all tonight. :pac:

    From the way things are going server wise it looks like im going to be setting up on Lich, actually managed to create 3x Chars there.

    Think im going to main a white mage, and alt a dragoon or blackmage depending on what i think of the play style.

    Beautiful looking game is all i can say, the place is jammed packed with people though. Does anyone know what the player limit per server is?

    Was 5000 simultaneous connections per server, but it is now 7500 simultaneous per server.

    Havnt been on here much apologies havnt had a chance to pickup on the last few pages!

    Beside the bad launch with the underwhelming server infrastructure and other issues what are peoples thoughts?

    Any finished or partial reviews out there are putting the game in good light and praising the new development team. Iv loved it so far but iv powered through the story and currently wokring on some end game gear. Benefits of being a legacy 1.0 player.

    What do you guys think? Is anyone playing on Excalibur by chance?


  • Registered Users Posts: 802 ✭✭✭MarkJD


    For anyone looking for general tips or advice on leveling and other things!

    There are spouts within the story where you will get extremely bored with typical fetch quests. Help x, go to y. These are pure filler for EXP gain to keep your character going until you get to the beefier parts of the story and new dungeons. Stick with it. The later Dungeons and Battles are worth it and challenging. Those of you wondering about Magitek Mounts these are re

    http://eorzeareborn.com/leveling/ - Good reference and Wikia that is being updated regularly

    - When you unlock Levequests there are NPCs nearby them at each camp for Guildhests. Make sure you guys do these. You get insane amount of EXP for first time runs so well worthwhile queing up for them through the Duty Finder. Need to initiate / unlock through the NPCs originally.

    - If you have no quests get to an area that has FATES for your level. Get yourself into a party. General practice it to just shout in the Zone - 'Any FATE Partys?' 'FATE Party Please Invite Me' etc Your contribution bonus is shared amongst a party so you are way more likely to get Gold ratings and more EXP. Partys generally just roam the zone bouncing from FATE to FATE.

    On a side note of FATES once you align yourself to a Grand Company you will also get GC Seals for any FATES you do so its also a good way to build up GC seals to get yourself gear / your chocobo etc. Also you can trade in old Dungeon gear you have outleveled depending on your rank.

    - Make sure you are also doing your Hunting Log. Great source of EXP for each class.

    Now iv had a chance to read over the few pages stick with the Dungeons guys. They are decent exp and best in slot gear for your level. First 3 Dungeons can be pretty much done by any combination once you have some sort of heals. Iv run them with 4 x Arcanists with 2 Tank Carbys and 2 DPS Carbys. While they are bland initially they are all stepping stones and introductions to different mechanics. Remember them because as you start getting up to the higher dungeons from 30+ onwards you will start seeing 2/3 mechanics per boss.

    As you get further to the higher Dungeons this multiplies and there are some good challenging fights! Enjoy Stone Vigil, Temple of Quarn & Amdapors Keep. Try get yourself into a static or people you play comfortabliy with because the DF can be frustrating if wiping constantly with players that might not grasp the mechanics :) There are Dungeons that you get through the main story but others you get simply by accepting a quest and taling to the NPC at the entrance. Most of these are picked up in Vesper bay so talk to the NPCs outside the Walking Sands. Ill put up some more posts with other Info :)

    Just to throw in here, dunno how the rest of you are doing but since the upgrade a few days a go I've not had a single problem logging on.
    At most I was in a queue of around 20 and was logged in about 30 seconds later! Delighted with the upgrade.

    As for me, I wasn't on much during the week so only have my Glad at level 25 now. But I did manage to craft myself some spiffy new armor:

    Been questing along. Story quests are still great. Learning about primals and who / why they are being summoned etc..

    This is finally a game that seems to have captured my interest. Since I left WoW 2ish years a go I've tried them all. From older games like AoC and LOTR to Rift, Star Wars, Neverwinter... This one has kept me interested after the first 10 levels.
    Rift got me for about 15 levels. Neverwinter had me for a while longer. Can't remember why I stopped playing... Anyway..

    Thus far I'm enjoying the lot of it. I've found crafting to be a little frustrating. It's very difficult to be self sufficient completely. You'll end up needing materials from other classes but I guess that is not a bad thing. It will keep the message boards (auction houses) alive.
    The beauty of the game is amazing. Better than any I've seen (except maybe the screens of ESO but that's another story)

    I do have my gripes with the game I'll admit. If anyone figures out how to target the mob directly in front of you please do let me know. It's driving me insane. Tab is a load of $hite. Target the next closest mob my butt. It targets all over the shop and makes my job as a tank very difficult. But I adapt, which is the job of a good tank...
    Most of it is "Quality of life" type stuff anyway so not a big deal. All that will come with time hopefully.
