So Questions about returning...just when I thought I was outFollow

1. Nope, never too hard to catch up (which some argue is a weakness).

2. No, not solo houses. However, you can get your own apartment room now, which is roughly the size of a small house's main floor but without the basement (and no yard, obviously). I actually sold my house to a FC mate and got an apartment instead. Waaaaaay cheaper and more than enough space for me, considering I don't craft or collect furnishings.

3. The relic weapon chain is still grindy, but now you can do Palace of the Dead and get a weapon that's just slightly weaker. People are split on PoTD, but I think it's fun, plus you can get seals that will help you catch up.

4. Find a free company, not a linkshell... but yes, many. Look me up if you're on Hyperion.

5. Yes, the PS4 version is great! I mostly play on PC, but I enjoy playing on the PS4 now and then.

Well except for all the solo houses. If you can buy the plot of land you can build a personal house for yourself. It's expensive, but it exists.



Very few people do FATEs for leveling anymore, not really super efficient. The CT raids are outdated but people do still do them (expect long queue times) for various reasons. Dungeons are common as ever.

SE is offering a 96 hour free login campaign until the beginning of the new year. My recommendation would be to log in and see what's up. Don't worry about the specifics right now because your information on endgame is pretty outdated. You have quite a bit of story ahead of you including a bunch of new dungeons and primals to do.

You should check the game out right now. Welcome back campaign is on until January 4th, you can basically play the game for free over a 96 hour period. You shouldn't have any issue finding anyone on that server, one of the more populated legacy servers.

Catching up is easy, but that's a WHOLE lotta content you gotta get through. Won't be hard, but can get tedious and time consuming.

and crap, just noticed Calli mentioned the campaign, that's what I get for skimming.

You lose out on exp gains at level 50 but pretty much nothing else. To do any actual Heavensward content you have to complete the ARR story through 2.55.



Yes, each job gets 6 more storyline quests between 50 and 60.

Ok so I'll download Heavensward tonight....I just didn't want to risk spoilers

Thank you all for replying and helping catch me up on stuff. I'm sure when I return tmrw night (first time I will have open to play) I will have a ton more questions but for now I will just leave it with these last few (lol)

1- Have the crafting levels changed, when I left I had them all at 50 will I have to raise them all now as well?

2- I've read that the ilevel is 270 now ....I was i90 when I left will the quests just hand out crappy gear that will keep me moving until I hit cap or do I have to work on gear grabbing before I can continue?

3- Are these apartments you have spoken of customizable?

I love me some FFsims

So I returned last night on PS4, obviously still getting used to the controls (game looks fantastic on PS4 as good as my PC (my pc is old)

I'm on the MSQ Lord of the Whorl which apparently means I need to fight Leviathan ....I'm so not ready for a real fight so I'm gated until I re-learn how to play the game. lol

I also am on another instanced fight in a quest against Gilgamesh

I'm going to get stuck every 3-4 quests having to do an instance that requires others aren't I??? lol

oh I won't always be with ppl the same ilevel that is good...glad to hear it (at this point I just want to see the story)

another question I discovered...do I have to upgrade my relic all the way (like each step) ...that might take me a year lol

oh good advice thank you...I'm slightly stressed (like stressed in game not real stress) about being i90

sorry

No, that cap raises with everything else. As for HW leves, you'd have to wait until you're in HW content to actually get those assigned to you. In the mean time feel free to do your GC turn-ins every day for basically-free crafting exp. And of course, you can always level it the old fashioned way.



There were Hildebrand quests throughout the entirety of ARR's patch line, so there are quite a few of them. Honestly you really can just leave them there if you don't like the story. There isn't another point to doing them anymore (you used to have to do them to get the trial roulette unlocked, but it doesn't work like that anymore).

Glad you're enjoying the game. You have some great story ahead of you.

It gets better??? I have loved the story so far...and I love how they keep adding levels too it but then moving on to something else before returning to conclude other parts.

Example: I get warned about Telegi Adelegi but that plot line is still up in the air, but I know he is bad. While I'm on that I get pulled away to deal with Shiva but the whole time there is the Ascian problem and Ivy lingering around.

It is quite gripping...to think it gets better ...oh boy.

More Q's

You guys are great sports by the way...I truly appreciate it

I've been doing a lot of quests that end with me doing hardmode dungeons and they have been a breeze, but I was wondering about Coil?

I see it in DF but not sure if I can try to do that is it PUGable now? I just want to do it once to see the story (its not the same to youtube it)

Hm..it depends on the server cluster (Data center) you're attached to but Coil I noticed at least on Aether Datacenter is largely dead outside of Party Finder, so keep an eye on those since people run some of them for the wonderous tails objectives. You can try to duty finder it but be prepared for some long waits some days. So to answer your question, it's always been PUGable, it was added to the Duty Finder a long long time ago though.



And so you don't get the wrong idea based on this sentence, there's more mechanics that happen in content like Binding Coils and Ex Primals that you'll not be used to at first as they're more group focused at times (for example needing to stack to absorb a big hit) if so far your experience have been the Hard Mode dungeons/Storyline Dungeons and at best Hard Mode primals.
