Oof, yeah. Very bad time to try to have a gaming computer building channel. 😆 A couple months ago when my computer stopped working my first thought was: please don't let it be the GPU! 😆 Thankfully it was just the power supply.
Love the new look!
I kind of hate to say it since you bought one already but… 'gaming' chairs are kind of a scam, imo. You would get better ergonomics for less money just buying a quality office chair.
If I remember correctly you get a whistle from the chocobo quest and you will find it in the inventory, just right click on it and press "use". Then it will be added into your list of mounts and you can call for it from that menu (or make a specific key in your hotbar into a summon mount key). And as you meantioned you can't mount in a city. It could also be that you have to do another mission for it? It's been a while so I don't fully remember. You should also know that your chocobo will turn into a "companion" this means that your buddie will follow you along in the world and can even heal you and help you fight enemies, only your chocobo can become a companion tho. Pretty sure that it's another quest from the immortal flames that unlocks that but once again I could be wrong!
For the chocobo. I might be wrong, but I think you get a loaner one first for a quest or two before you actually get your personal one.
There‘s a crown you can also get in-game when you defeat 100,000 enemies (which you‘ll eventually do) – will your character also wear it in game? 😀
Jake, you do not need to justify wearing a crown. I promise, but if it makes you feel better you can. But you are looking very regal sir. But this is great, you're doing really well, please take care. Also, there is a mount guide. Bottom left screen, there should be red circles. Click the first one and select mount guide, you can drag and drop your mount icon onto your hot bars.
not spoiling anything, but you may wanna look at some of the achievement rewards 😉 there are some nice things for you to get, if i remember, resembling that stylish crown you wear 😉 for the crowned blackmage 😀
loooooove the look 💕
Jake, you were speaking about the crown you were wearing in your video. If that's something you're interested in doing as a theme, you can earn a variety of crowns through the FFXIV achievement system! 😀 They come in many shapes and sizes (at least two of them can be dyed), and I would encourage you to try to collect them all! There are at least 4 crowns you get by leveling all the jobs to certain milestone levels. But the rest are unlocked via different aspects of the game and have little bearing on what jobs you play to acquire them.
When you've met the requirements to unlock one of these crowns, simply run to Gridania and look for the Achievement Vender to obtain your achievement reward. You can also spend Achievement Points at this vendor, as well. There isn't much, but if you're into collectibles, this may be something you might want to check out.
All hail King "Sprout" Jake! You're rocking that crown.
I think in Uldah a quest resides for something about chocoboo insurance you might need to do that quest
I personally prefer Twitch because it's just a better experience for viewers than Youtube. The delay between chat and stream is dramatically lower, people can use emotes, and there's just a bunch of functionality that isn't there with Youtube. That said, your viewerbase is very much on Youtube, so streaming on Twitch might have quite a few people not see it. A good method might be to look into a site called restream, which will stream to both simultaneously and combine the chats into one for you to view. You'd probably want to show the chat on the screen if doing so so people on Youtube can see the comments those on Twitch are making and vice versa.
You can rename you chocobo
Just talk to same guy you got your Choco from
And Jake, why are u still lvl 26? You should be at least 35 by now. Did u buy the preorder of EW? It gives an earring that gives 30 percent exp bonus up to lvl 80
Absolutely love the look.
Twitch or youtube is fine for me, some people even do both, so really is up to you.
I got excited when I saw the crown. I'm a big believer in wearing fun things, especially around the house. Also, drinking water out of a fancier cup/goblet = A+ fun in my book!
Looking very regal, sir. Also very fun. Get those crowns in-game too! o/
I catch twitch stream notifications better than Youtube notifications, but since your viewership is on youtube I would just say to stick to youtube or use a dual streaming service.
Hey Jake! Still watching this video, so forgive me if it's covered, but I wanted to make this comment before I forget: You still need a Free Company on Ultros? I keep meaning to send you a message but we appear to play at different hours. If you'd like, I could send you an invite to VinCo, which is a fairly large (But not overly so) Free Company that's quite active, which I think is important in an MMO. It's a friendly place and people are generally happy to help newer folks. Could be a good stepping stone until you decide on a permanent FC, or maybe it could be your home.
If you've already got an FC, feel free to disregard this message! Hope you have a good time!
I think you should make a second channel to upload full stream vods to, and use this channel to post edited videos, and updates as you choose to
Jake, you don’t need to justify anything! You do you and we’ll be here to enjoy everything with you! Love the added flair! Always looking forward to your content! Keep it up!
First, each time you want to get your mount out and not run off is by feeding it a salad , each city has a NPC that sells it, secondly I been following you and you went from shy guy to Goldy sprout haha!!
You really improved the quality of your videos quickly, great to see you getting better!
