tcaz2 02/12/21 11:51:25 PM #18: |
Yeah the end levels of ARR are paced weirdly level wise.
Playing back when ARR first came out (before the many multitudes of EXP buffs) you actually hit a wall around the mid-to-late 40s where you couldn't progress the MSQ unless you stopped and leveled for a bit if you were mostly mainlining it. Even now its where you catch up in levels for awhile because there's so few quests between level gaps. You'll be ahead again soon though because of the post ARR patch story. ... Copied to Clipboard!

You use Flare for the last spell of your aoe fire phase (preferably with quickcast or triplecast since it has a really long cast time). You don't use it for single target.

Wait time for Rock the Castrum, 26 minutes.The last two dungeons in FF14 are okay for first-timers and awful for people who've already done them. They're super long, everyone is overgeared so the fights are a joke, and Square hadn't figured out that including very lengthy plot cutscenes in the middle of a dungeon was a bad idea, so back in the day all the veterans would advise people to skip the cutscenes and watch them in the cutscene viewer later. Square's solution to this was to make the cutscenes unskippable, which benefited the first-timers but made it worse for everyone else. There's a daily roulette that only puts you in those two dungeons, just to maximize the number of people going through them so newbies can progress the story. The roulettes give out a ton of EXP and can really help level up a class, and people still barely do it because of how much of a slog it is. Solid narrative conclusion to the ARR main story, though! --- It's Reyn Time. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Here's a visual representation of the ARR rework that they did. Censored the names of the 2.1+ patches in case of spoilers. They also made some in-quest changes to make things go faster - an example I saw online was that one quest to collect eggs had the number of eggs reduced from 8 to 3. Also, lol 2.1.
