  1. What is your opinion of exarchic gear if I have max crafter and can make it myself? I just got back in and my gear is around 440. I could easily craft exarchic stuff with my crafters.

  2. It was indeed helpful, but why can´t people not writing down a concept before they do a video, instead they jump back and forth, tell a nice story about their grandmother and then come back to the real topic…you know what I mean…otherwise it would be a very good video with some nice informations

  3. Where was this video when I needed gear five hours ago!?

    Upon further instructions, ain't no WAY I was spending another ten hours to get better gear. I just wanted to finish all the patch quest T_T.

    Gonna spend my time leveling my crafters instead.

    Gonna have to make that money back somehow, after getting ABSOLUTELY FLEECED on my server's market.

  4. As a new player to FF14 I have been trying my hardest to do my research and homework on a LOT of aspects of the game, but all i seem to find are convoluted, over complex videos and sites. As someone who doesn't have all of the terminology down yet, or the time invested (only been 3 weeks now) this is very daunting to get the information (simple explanations as to how and why) Your videos are a life saver. Keep up the good work helping us sprouts figure things out. Thank you.

  5. As a new level 80, how do I unlock the raids? Is it just the quests you talked about in the video, or do I have to be completely done with main story quest first?

  6. played through msq had enough gil to buy exarchic gear. got every piece. easy.
    now im all augmented exarchic just waiting for weekly revelations for one piece of 530 gear

    so…. go slowly farming piece by piece little by little
    or server swap and buy cheap pieces get to 510 easily and 520 in a few days if you farm allegory. i did it in 2

  7. Do you buy a full set of 50,60,70 etc gear for crafters? I’m on my way to getting sll crafters to 50. Not sure if I should be buying all lvl 50 gear( because it’s pricey once they add up and I prob can’t buy them all at once)

  8. Thanks for the guide but it feels a bit confusing and unorganized. Also, it’s so much work and effort lol. I wouldnt mind just buying the 510 gear and then work my way up to 530 later. Gil is useless if not spent..
