Re: Kailea Nagisa: The Kitty Files

Can someone tell me what primary armor archers use? Leather or cloth?

I'm thinking leather.. And I hope so, because I want to try the Archer/Leatherworker combo.

Re: Kailea Nagisa: The Kitty Files

Crafting is proving a royal pain in the ass...

I paid 50 gil to use the blacksmith facilities, but no dice; I still need my own fire crystals AND the corresponding skill manual (which all cost 500 guild marks wtf) so I'm at a complete loss here.... what the crap was the point of paying for the facilities?

That's one thing I liked about XI better. Get signet, kill shit, crystals drop like candy and just synth away with whatever you find. I thought maybe I could try lower level guild leves but even the easiest one I chose required Rank 5 blacksmithing.

Can someone please inform me how to actually get started on synthesis? It's my favorite pass time but in XIV it just seems like there are too many roadblocks early on for people who want to jump in right away as opposed to those with War or Magic classes at a high enough level to farm.

Wait until Rank 5? Maybe they don't want everybody crafting from day one?

Cloth if they're modeling this after Ishida in Bleach (Quincy)

It's probably leather + chain mail (which is what hunters wore in WoW) Archers, historically anyway, wore chainmail when it was available for some protection, but never anything heavier. True, a lot of the earlier archers wore nothing more than thick layers of cloth and a layer of leather on the outside for a form of protection, but when knights went around wearing plate armor, archers followed suit and wore leather and some chain mail. Anyway, here you'll see a character wearing leather and then discards the coat in subsequent videos for a ... er ... something more appropriate for the beach.

That's just it; how the hell do I rank up if I can't even craft in the 1st place?

Re: Kailea Nagisa: The Kitty Files

All your posts so far sound angry, Mal. Take a breather.

Did you try your hand at mining for materials?

local guild leves will give you the mats to make what you need, and if you fail the synths, no biggy, not your mats anyway ;p (kitty next to guild leve guy)

Re: Kailea Nagisa: The Kitty Files

Re: Kailea Nagisa: The Kitty Files

In the current beta they allow us to buy the clothes/sheet/nuggets/ all pre-made from the NPCs, in previous phases we had to make the Cloth/nuggets/sheets/hides out of the raw materials you found in the game via HELM. So the five levels you are missing are all in the creation of the items you can actually buy in this version of the beta, a quick look around the beta forum will show the official receipes from S.E. which will fill your missing five level gap.

I am working on the assumption that SE added all these items to help the testers get further into the testing of crafting as previously people were struggling with acquiring enough crystals to get past the very low levels, the retail version I am expecting to go back to how it was before.

you do know there is still a big problem with crystals and crafting, no to mention that crafting itself really needs to be toned down just a tad..... a lot of these recipes are ridiculous.
