I decided I take my main further with trade jobs leveling, and other two toons will follow, so I'm crafting/gathering through Stormblood now. You know what? No wonder, Stormblood is yet again better than previous expansion. My beef with Heavensward was the story questing content. Excellent stories, mind you, so zero grudge for the lore … Continue reading FFXIV: Crafting Through Stormblood and The Case of Scrips

https://www.youtube.com/embed/RVQtvBIdv4Y First of all, this is hell of a trailer. It's tears of joy, excitement and I'm shivering from anticipation. January 10 is just around the corner!

Now, it's hard to realize that I'm over half leveling already, as I made it just … Continue reading FFXIV: Past ARR with Crafting/Gathering and Starlight Celebration!

Alright, so I'm on the steady rails now. There's no rush, as I have all the time in the world to catch up with profession jobs, and yet the routes have been defined. I think I'm leveling professions by 10 levels simultanesouly, alt-by-alt. It's gonna be easier to track mats and all, excludes groans like … Continue reading FFXIV: Crafting/Gathering Progress

Grinding for my last couple of weapons was sooo exhausting :) Of course, the near end was very much inspiring, and yet I forced myself to queue for the last couple of roulette rounds - partly because I'm deeply engaged in leveling crafting/gathering, and it seemed like a distraction, partly because I'm puking from roulettes … Continue reading FFXIV: Done with the Mandervilles!
