i noticed one thing about the flying mount. Except the flying chocobo , i had no idea how fast it could travel on land. Assuming it's just like normal chocobo.
For the dragon and griffon*seems to me* mount, they're slow when they move on land.
At one point, you can see that the person decides to unmount .
But thanks to flying mount, places are easily reachable with minimal time.
As you can see, the maps were incredibly huge. Some were tall and it made travelling uphill very time consuming.
As we can see, ff14 is slowly picking up ideas from ff11.
3 newbie city and 1 main city.
Raising limit to lv60.

Yes. It was suposed to have same speed.

But check video time 5.06-5.13 . Seems that the dragon mount moves slow on land.
Maybe i see wrongly.

They all have equal problems.
Eu as of now, users have problem getting physical ce copy.
Mostly had to turn to softcopy in the end.

But for mthly payment, i heard it's the cheapest of all 3.

NA easier to get physical ce expansion copy.
Doesnt make much diff in my opinion if you consider monthly payment vs EU.


JPN easier to get physical ce expansion copy.
Payment sux big time because users have to get from 3rd party. Credit card are not accepted and webmoney is the only solution. Webmoney is only obtainable through 3rd parties which are resold much more higher then it's original price. Fark that

Gathering is a mind boggling experience. You might take up gathering when you are new. But when you have the gil to start crafting, get off gathering and stick to the market board. Resources are pretty much over abundance due to rmt bots. It's sold dirt cheap. Crystal farming ? You would only hit 500 crystals in over an hour.

Usually tank will pull room in Halatali & Copperbell HM.
Rarely for NM.
Anything more then 4 is a highly wipe chance for low level dungeon.

Yes i know the area u spoke off. Certain dungeons have one mob triggering the aggro of nearby ones. I remember is quicksand no ? the area with many ants colony. Beware though, there are many players with anime character names are not japanese. They kept quiet and pretend to be japanese . I've seen many of these before. Japanese likes to be creative and unique in their ign. Anime character ign are mostly SEA players and mostly young kids. Like Asuna/Kirito/Kira and Lacus. It's a striking mark of a South east asian player. Usually from Singapore or Malaysia.
Japanese players will use name such as this -> Sakushi Mogi , Negi oyama , Pink Awase or sometimes simple english names.
If someone tries to wake ur sleep mob, simply use the translation -> Sleep X Please . I'm sure anyone is able to tell that this is something that should not be touch.

Usually if i see anime character players if they are causing problems , i'l just type this
-> Oi Siao lin, wat you doing ?

FlyyFF...

Someone is kind enough to put up the aether current location at here.

Aether-Current-Locations

This only for aether current spot. Does not include the quest part.
There's additional 5 aether current that needs to be attain through completing quests.

1 from completing dungeon
1 from completing main scenario quest.
3 from around that area quest. Sometimes it takes a few quests to activates the neccessary quest to attain your aether current.

You can go to Travel tab and from there, look for aether current options and it'll show you how many aether current you are lack off.

Top part is for quest which is 5.
Lower part is for aether currents that you have attune.

There is only two map.
Coerthas Western Highlands
And Dravanian Forelands onry

The rest will be updated perhaps not so soon because everyone is racing to complete it.

Enjoy while you can for your first job reaching the max level. The 2nd one you'll feel the mindless grind that'll blow you apart. It'll take sometime untill all players reach their max ilvl gear to start tearing down FATES like a piece of paper. At the moment, FATES are real slow.

On the brighter side, tomes no longer have a cap weekly. Players are free to earn as much as they can.
And, players are free from the nightmare of relic temporarily. I solemnly believe that, we'll be bounded by the zodiac shyt relic for eternity . It'll come back.
You can purchase your weapon using law tomes at a cost of 570 which is ilvl 170.

Gang Bang Price always ridiculous expensive...
Luckily i choose japan.

This is only the preliminary New Tome gears. There is another one coming very soon.

One thing i notice is that... the newer dungeons are way much more harder then the older dungeons.
They have alot of hp pool as compared to the old dungeons. They are very similar to coil dungeons though not as hard. But is enough to wipe the party if play without cautious.
You'll use more time as compared to the older dungeon.
Because many players complained they took a more different approach this time but with the same concept, that's still utilizing player's in game time as much as possible.

2.0 strategy
Speed pt(10-11mins run pty) for dungeon and getting gear is possible and achievable.

*preliminary* 3.0 strategy
Speed party for dungeon not possible.
Gear are easier to attain with cheaper cost.

As i said this is only preliminary, after preliminary where the true 3.0 comes, be prepared to see the weekly cap again for the new tomestone.
By then it's much more worser then 2.0
No speed party dungeon.(18-20mins pty at least)
Weekly cap back again.
expensive cost tomes.

Lol... now the names start to ring a bell. Those are the guys from ff11 lakshmi.. I didnt know jebat and Jiang now using different names.

Any idea where did the crazy doctor went to ? Orienna or something i remember.. the guy who wrote his patience's medicine in 3 stacks a day instead of 3 times a day.

hm.. now then i know.. this girl also playing ff14.I guess most of her crazy fans will flock into ff14 .

Whether you live landed or high rise property , tm technician also cannot solve your problem on the ping rate.
130ms is consider ok and normal. Besides, i thought you using fibre optic instead of copper line for unifi ?
The only way to reduce ping to oversea site is to use vpn.

I think.. it's mainly because it's an old building where you living.Fibre optic piping was not installed in old building back then. There are no trunks/pipes to wire those line to your floor.
There's difference between business and home broadband. Home they won't do anything but only use any existing method to hook up the broadband to you. But as for business, they will liases with external wiring contractor and also the management of the building to seperately open up a pipe for fibre optic if there are no trunks available for fibre optic. New building high rises house does have fibre optic ready and it does not use copper.

For vpn, try either wtfast or battleping. I myself using battleping to reduce the lag and it has significantly reduce my poor random 200-400ms lag spiked connection to 50-60ms. Wtfast i'm not too sure but has heard good reviews but i don't like it because of the complicated configuration to setup. I like battleping because they're literally nothing to setup. Just switch to Malaysia server and click connect .

TM has specific routes to major search sites and speedtest sites. So testing speed with these site is inaccurate as to think that your speed with refering to this site has low latency. You'll be pinging like locally connected WAN to these sites.

To check your true connection speed to ff14 server , bring up command prompt.
do a ping to the ip.
Do a tracert as well.

For your server's ip refer to this website.
http://arrstatus.com/
Click on your server and switch it to ip . It'll display the server's ip.

For my side, every 10-20 ping bound to have one fail. Blame it on TM run by monkeys. We have to resort to use vpn services.
