I'm second guessing scholar now that my fiancee called me a fag for looking at pictures of them. I may have to go warrior if I want this wedding to happen.

So I didn't do any leves last week. I just unlocked them and moved on. I'm wanting to go with goldsmith for my main crafting class. Do I need to go with Ul'dah as my GC in order to get seals from the crafting leves? Or will I be able to somehow use leves from other cities to farm seals on goldsmith?

I really don't like Ul'dah and it'd probably be my last choice for GC of the three.

I might be wrong only GC leves give seals. Crafting/Gathering leves don't give seals. Again I might be wrong, as I didn't do any crafting/gathering in p3 when GCs were attainable, but I remember only getting seals from GC specific leves, which are gotten from GC specific NPCs.

Why seals from fates was so awesome, could use leve allowances for so many other things.

Will have to return the one I bought from Amazon impulsively today, but whatevs. Just held a beer pong tournament in my living room, with gangster rap blaring on my stereo and papa johns in my belly. I'm one xvideos.com visit away from being 22 again. Allsome.

Did my monthly computer dusting/cleaning. Only bad part living in the desert, I go through cans of air like no tomorrow, since I spray the fans/case once a day and do a thorough cleaning once a month.

Don't the GC leves NPC give gathering/crafting leves too? I can't remember because like you I didn't do any crafting in P3. I do remember however that you can get SOME seals from crafting/gathering via the GC menu, they have like requests for specific materials, which are updated every now and then(I'd assume whenever leves are assigned, which I forgot what time it is but iirc it's 2AM 2PM for central europe), like they'll ask you for Yew logs and they trade up to 20logs for 200seals or whatever. The issue with it is the number looked very low and what you can trade was very limited, but it was an easy way to get some seals from gathering/crafting. Might be the only way if the GC leve NPC doesn't have gathering/crafting leves too.

Getting GC seals will be pretty important for leveling crafting/gathering at higher levels though, since you get those buffs that increase your crafting/gathering xp for an hour or whatever, combine this with some rested xp and Free Company bonus if you have it and it should be a lot faster to level those.

So, if you try and log into the client is it suppose to say wrong ID/Password since the game isn't launched yet...or do I have to yet again remedy SE's atrocious account system?

If i'm not mistaken you are supposed to turn some of that stuff off with SweetFX, such as edge smoothing and HDR. I think Vorph can speak to this better as i might be wrong. (or someone else)

or maybe we can get a breakdown of how best to use SweetFx?

Na you're supposed to get in, then it has the start button greyed out and it says Wait for early access to start. If you're getting wrong id/pass, then it's another issue. Make sure your login ID is well that, instead of your email.
