Whole game not on sale is 60$ which is pretty standard for mmos I wanna say? Starter edition(ARR, the base game + Heavensward now so 1-60) is 20$ and Shadowbringers, which include past expansions too(now only Stormblood since HW was added to the core game) is 40$. When it's on sale, starter is often not on sale but Shadowbringers itself is half price and the complete edition which include both is also half price, leading to around a 30$ price for the whole thing.
Yea, I have Stormblood, and so just need ShB. SE does those half priced sales sometimes, and so I figure Daid was just quoting one of those that was going on at the time. I should have bought it then! Oh well.
I played the game back in 2012-13 for about six months, got into end-game raiding, quit just before 2.2 patch.
To be fair, it's not like the quests suddenly aren't fetch quests anymore. They most definitely still are the same shitty quest types, there's just less of them(with more cutscenes/text between), so it feels less grindy. Even Shadowbringers actual quests were some bullshit stuff, but it's a lot more enjoyable when you do a couple of them, then have a long meaningful cutscene, some more text, then a dungeon, then another cutscene and you're sent to the next zone(simplifying but that's kinda how it goes). They basically adjust the ratio of fetch quest to story to be less fetching more reading, which for some people makes it worse(although these people can skip the cutscenes to go faster, can't skip the fetch quests) but for people who like the story makes it a lot better.
People in this thread not knowing about the Limsa Aetheryte-> aethernet to arcanist guild -> ferry to Waking Sands.
I as a new player totally missed I got a ton of those as rewards until right before they moved their head quarters to rising stones. Still use them for some random stuff that sends you back there.
Yes, it does not destroy the gear any more so you just extract over and over each time it hits 100%.
