Also in case anyone missed it. When you upgrade from ps3 to ps4 it will lock you out of access from your ps3. Since it is free i guess. So if you want to play on both ps3 and ps4 you will either have to buy it on ps4, or upgrade from ps3 to ps4 and rebuy it on ps3.

If I afk in that menu I go into configuration so it doesnt play. But if you are coming back from being afk in the game and the 30 min timer kicked you then idk how to turn it off. I just talk to a npc if im going to afk longer than 30 mins. that way im not kicked. (Pro Tip)

Yes it happens, they're probably doing maintenance on the NA/EU login server.

I know Chuuuuu got past it so it might be letting a few people in every few min until they are finished working on it.

Just be patient.

Is there a way to predict when FATEs will start?

I know some are player initiated, and some come in groups of 2-3 (like Svara in Dragonhead, beat #1, go to #2, then go to #3), but what about the others? D:

I'm having a similar problem >< Because I have THM and CNJ at 50 from 1.0, I keep picking up story quests that I can't turn in on ACN >_>;

So I have to go hunting FATE's and doing Leves to try and get to the right level, to turn in 2-3 story quests and then hitting the same roadblock. Don't wanna waste them on THM/CNJ and fishing's no longer that worthwhile (at least, I haven't found a use for it, outside mild amusement)

I actually prefer XI's fishing with the minigame instead of just tossing in the hook and pulling a fish up every time

Not sure there is one that is reachable atm... Yoshi at one point mentioned something about getting under 2 seconds on the gcd I think but that would take +500.

Will ps4 have better graphics for ARR than ps3? Cuz ps3 is beautiful but its not at pc max spec level :(

Yeah PS4 is direct X11 capable and the pc is getting the DX11 patch along side the ps4 release or possibly slightly before.

actually just to correct you on this, the ps4 is not necessarily direct x capable (or direct x native i should say rather) it runs Open GL 4.2? i believe.

tldr; they are still making a direct x 11 version for pc and ps4, but the ps4 version won't be running the directx11 coding natively, it will just be ported. and yea i can't wait :Q

Well,yeah people like us know that,but to explain it to the average person,which do you think is easier.....

Is there any difference between the Halcyon rod and The rod of the luminary? Or any of the luminary items for that matter?

When does Astral Fire III start? Just got Fire III and still not reaching that level. I assume it's level based but can't find it.

Teleport to Forgotten Spring and head to the SE corner of the desert. Should be a Quest NPC sitting at a campfire.

Once you hit 50, what does the dungeon progression look like? Apparently it's not Amdapor Keep...

Spam CM for like 52 runs to deck out in Darklight gear (Praetorium) works too. Farm your Ifrit (Garuda, Titan) Weapon. Then farm AK for Myths to upgrade from Darklight to Relic (AF2 Whatever it's called) and work on completing your relic weapon.

AK can be a little bit of a tough dungeon for a fresh 50 DPS.

Start relic weapon quest.

Castrum/Praetorium for Philosophy Tomestones to get Relic Weapon items and Darklight Armor with.

Wanderer's Palace for level 55 equipment, and some Philosophy Tomestones.

Ifrit for level 60 weapons.

Amdapors Keep for Mythology Tomestones for Relic equipment and Relic Weapon +1 item, Philosophy Tomestones and level 60 armor. And needed to unlock the current final GC rank.

Garuda for level 70 weapons. And if you get a fast enough group, she's the best Duty for Mythology Tomestones.

Titan for Relic Weapon quest. I really don't understand why people farm him. >_>

Once you've got a relic weapon (+1) and full Darklight Armor, The Binding Coil of Bahamut should become an option. But it's mostly for FC groups that work well together.
