Oooh! Fun! Gonna share with my other FFXIV peeps, thanks for the ping!

Oh, oof. Roulettes scare me! It's really only in the past two weeks that I was brave enough to try alliance roulette. Not sure I can handle the others yet. Damned anxiety.

I agree it's good middle ground. I like to grind (I have both bicolor mounts, didn't buy a single voucher off MB) & I do feel a relic +should+ require some grinding. I was very disappointed with the EW relics. I think it's great that there's a grinding phase for DT but then others are with tomes.

Tonight I'll be streaming Final Fantasy XIV. We'll be doing the Rising and then chilling and chatting while I level crafting on Windy so she can fix her own gear! Starting around 7:30pm Central, hope to see you there!

Also, highly recommend the guides at BGwiki. I use the Fantastic EXPs guide all the time: www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Levelin...

You'll want to play the Rise of the Zilart expansion, then! It can be soloed with trusts, I think I was level 80ish for most of it but leveled up a bit more for one particular fight. HAVE FUN! I myself went back to retail FFXI due to XIV's new alliance raids. Having a blast with it!

Yeah, I use it to auto-complete stuff in both XI & XIV as well. I suspect a lot of XIV players though aren't aware of how auto-translate works since servers are region-locked & there's less of a need for auto-translate. I find it handy, though, especially as a controller player who drops it to type.

though I probably shouldn't use {Take care.} in that way, because knowing what I know about auto-translate in FFXI, it actually translates more like "Be careful." and not a general well-wishes phrase
