FFXIV: Farming, and Leveling, and A Drop of Healing Issues

Yep, basically this. I'm this close to providing my current jobs with their Mandervilles - only two to go for the current raid runners, and yet I spend the precious roulette supply to leveling alt jobs. I've rearranged my gear spreadsheets a bit. One - is about job specific numbers: actual level, weapon level and …

WoW: RIP

Today in the morning I logged into WoW, as FFXIV is under maintenance for patch 6.3. installation. I spent about 3 hours in the game, and it's gonna be a swan song of the game as an entertainment for me. I've said all that had to be said about the current story. It's super boring …

My Gaming Year 2022 Recap

Gaming remains to be my major hobby and pastime during out-of-work hours and weekends, and 2022 remained as such. During this year it also served as an important sanity anchor in the turmoil of non-stop madness IRL, and escapism from the news - but well, the games also matter on their own. So, what I …

WoW Dragonflight Lore is Officially Crap

Two things happened today, totally related: I finished the leveling main lore of Dragonflight and accepted the raid quest for a Raszageth kill, and the pic from above. Except for some very few bits, I was bored as hell, and for me it's the worst thing any media could do. I liked certain beats, like …

WoW Leveling and FFXIV Trade Jobs: Up We Go

Well, at least I dinged 70 in WoW - a couple of chapters before I finished the zone 3 story. Leveling is very fast in this expansion, this is true. At the same time, I'm somewhat reluctant to login much. I have completed three zones' main story and parked upon arriving to Valdrakken so far. …

WoW Dragonflight: My First Impressions

So, I played my first day in Dragonflight. I finished the first zone (exploration, story and most sojourner side questlines except two), and arrived at centaur tribe meeting in the second one, and I have all possible things to report. Before logging in, I mercilessly pruned my toons, and left only 12 by number of …

FFXIV: DoH/DoL in the End of All?

As I say in every MMO, never say never. FFXIV surely has high entry thresholds for some activities, and crafting/gathering have always been such for myself. I've approached the peaceful jobs multiple times, and still found them uninspiring. It seemed like a ton of mats and unnecessary complexity to wrap around my brain, although it's …

WoW: A Fresh Batch of Cinematics

So, even if I'm benched out this expansion for a number of reasons, both objective and subjective, I'm still going to track its lore closely, maybe up to watching story walkthrough on YouTube - as I'm eager to learn how the sinking ship will fare in the next couple of years storywise. Upon the second …

FFXIV: Clearing Up

Patch 6.25 is looming, yet there are things to do. Obviously, I'm weekly and diligently clearing Abyssos normal raid - on 3 alts! Each and every run is a new token, so I'm slowly recoloring my gear sheet into 610 blue: Btw, I made this final and removed the doubling job sets from Sanya and …

FFXIV: Canonical Warrior of Light Jobs by Expansion

Of course, you can play any job in FFXIV and complete the main storyline, but there are canonical jobs for the story character as he/she swaps them during his/her adventures. I have collected them throughout the web and trailers, and here goes the list. FFXIV: in the failed launch of the initial game, Warrior of …
