Does anyone understand how the Lotting system works. Trying to understand how it decides if you Need it or not. Also wondering if what I am hearing is true about Need always overlots Greed. Need always wins vs greed and you can only need if your current job can equip it. Sucks for those with multi 50s :(
Ok Exactly what i thought til we had a run that an All Class Ring was Greed for me that I could use for my DPS Lancer but the TANK WAR had it as need for him. Made us think theres more to this Need/Greed than just the fact you can wear it. I've run across this same issue. There was an All Class ring that would not let me roll 'need'. It would've been very useful to have.
On another note, what should I name my chocobo? The stats on the accessories are optimized for certain roles (tank, melee DD, mage). So even though they're equipable by all classes, the need/greed system will only let you need if it's meant for the particular role you're playing.
not only this, but i think i remember somewhere about them saying that there are some type of restrictions with the need lotting system so you cannot need every item drop. @krizz, do you remember if you happened to roll a need on the previous drop?

Im quite curious why they are doing maint again for 10 hours and not adding more servers. Gungnir was fine till they decided to open up the server to create more chars..
The easiest solution is to allow server transfers imo that way people will go to the new server etc

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forum.phpto be fair if they added more than 3 servers to begin with it wouldnt be a problem. Really? 3 servers and you had to close digital downloads? Yea you knew you needed more

It's not -just- that. Whatever they did to change/upgrade the hardware,the overall population cap on each server is now higher. Essentially making the game capable of holding more people at once,even on the same number of servers,let alone 3 more. Also,the servers and upgrades/updates have been proving more and more stable,and the character login issues are going down,and the character creation caps are coming off gradually. When I looked this morning I think there was only 5 servers NA/EU still restricted,as opposed to all/nearly all of them last week.
But yes,3 servers is a bit weak,regardless of if the numbers panned out or not.

Because it's still the start of september >_> And I'm sure fixing the servers are more important than transfers. I'd assume the mid september (I dont keep up with the transfer news) was probably given before the servers exploded? And ***happens,stuff gets delayed and pushed back.

Quote: This is an optional paid service that allows characters from active service accounts for FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn to be transferred to a World of your chooosing.
* Due to fluctuations in World populations, certain Worlds may not be available for transfer.
* World transfer service is scheduled to begin mid-September.
That's from the lodestone page. Not sure when that info was added,or if there have been more recent devs posts about it.
And to use your own argument against you....
Why allow people to trasnfer to a different server when you cant log in on a different server anyways.
Let them fix the game first,add optional services second. If you dont like it? You're free to stop playing. Or if you continue to play,it's obviously not as big a deal as you're making it out to be.

Let me rephrase, anywhere in the UK have stock that isnt selling the standard edition at an inflated price (£19.99 in most places but no stock) or the collectors edition at a reasonable price (I.e under £50).
Like this:
http://www.tesco.com/direct/final-fantasy-xiv-a-realm-reborn-collectors-edition/365-7037.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=365-7037
But its not atcually in stock >.>

Anyone have information on the 2.0 Relic Weapon quest? All I've found is the name of the quest and the NPC you get it from and their location, but not any information on the quest/questline itself. I would like to know what I should be prepared for before I start it, if possible. Focusing on Dragoon and Paladin for the moment.

Is there a cap on Tombstones of Philosphy? I know there is one for Myth.
Edit: Just did the math for Darklight gear and dear god please tell me Philos isn't 300/week too...
By Quiznor 2013-09-09 12:09:01
Yeah, it appears so, but I was told before I bought it for PS3 that I would be able to play on PC/PS4 as well without purchasing the game for them. So, we'll see what SE says when they get back to me.
/sigh
They've already said it multiple times that you need to buy seperate ones for each platform. It's in the official notes >_>
Everyone just jumped on the assumption train that it was like XI instead of reading the actual XIV notes >_>
Well,post back when you officially hear back what I just posted anyways~
Edit: Direct from SE XIV site for you.
Quote: Play Cross-Platform with Windows PC & PlayStation 3 Users
FFXIV: A Realm Reborn is available on both Windows PC and PlayStation 3, and players from both versions will be able to play together regardless of the version they purchase!
Logging into the Same Account on both Windows and PlayStation 3
It is possible to play with the same account on both Windows and PlayStation 3 platforms. Customers who own a copy of FFXIV for Windows and wish to use their account on the PlayStation 3 version will need to purchase a copy of the PlayStation 3 version. It will then be possible to use your characters on either platform by tying your existing service account to the PlayStation 3 version upon launching it for the first time. Similarly, customers who own a copy of FFXIV for PlayStation 3 and wish to use their account on the Windows version will need to purchase a copy of the Windows version. However, please note that your account will only be able to log into one platform at a time.
Now while it doesnt mention PS4,it's pretty safe to say it'll 99.9% work the same way. Add a new platform with a new code.
Quoting myself for this guy,saw it in another thread.
http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/09/09/final-fantasy-xiv-ps3-players-will-upgrade-to-ps4-version-for-free-ps4-beta-starting-in-february/
You still need a pc code to add pc access though

VIT is HP, STR is damage dealt and damaged mitigated via parry and shield block, and DEX is block rate.

Full STR is what everyone preaches anyways
I've been noticing a lot of topics being created lately that are asking a single question that only requires a single answer. I think it would be beneficial for everyone if we could group those single answer questions into a single topic.
We've done this previously with FFXI, and it worked out very well, and I believe it will for XIV too. So if you have a question that is something like this:
What Body equipment should I wear for my level 25 Archer?
or this:
Where can I find Sylvan Scream for the Order of the Twin Adder Hunting Log #5?
They would fit very well into this topic. However, if your question is much more complex, where the answers are more opinions than facts, where there never is just one single answer, then creating your own topic might not be a bad idea. Please try to find a topic related to your question before creating your own. It's very likely that someone has already created a topic, or even a news topic, that matches your question. You can browse the forum searching in sections relevant to your question, or you can search the forum using keywords to describe it. You can even search within this topic to see if someone asked your question before, chances are they have. The search box is located at the top right of every page.
If you have a question, but you are afraid to ask because you think it's too silly of a question to ask, just know we are here to help you. The purpose of this topic is to share knowledge with each other, so we can help each other out.
However, if you think it's funny to bash someone for asking a question, hating on them, calling them out, this is not the forum for you. This topic is to help players and educate them on the knowledge they are seeking. They might not know nearly as much about the game as you do, but that doesn't mean you have to be rude. We've all been newbies, it's personally my favorite experience of a game, and asking questions can be intimidating when other players are years ahead of you in experience.
Asking questions shouldn't be intimidating, it should be fun! Try to have fun and be respectful to each other, and please respect the forum and help reduce clutter on the front page and the forum itself.
Useful Websites:
Square Enix Account Management System - Old, still running but you should be using Mog Station instead. SE is trying to push everyone to use it, and it will be the only the system we use for XIV shortly. Click the image below for Mog Station, and put it in your bookmarks.
also:
Community site for News, and your character profile
General Information... for everything: XIVDB, very good site.
Server Status: ARR Status, a very good site, even has an android app if you're into that.
Wiki: XIVWiki, not sure how good it is yet really.
Wiki: Gamer Escape Wiki, the aftermath of the FFXIclopedia team, not sure how they're doing right now.
Please post or PM me if you know other websites that I can list. Thank you!
