Latency doesnt really seem to be too much of an issue in FFXIV... although getting killed by a cactaur with red latency is a drag....

BTW how is your so dang fast....

Crysta new payment system for FFXIV. Crysta, the real world currency equivalent is region specific. So I guess you're restricted now to being robbed only by someone from your country if someone hacks you XD.

I think this thread should just become FF thread

Edit: I added 2 more stories within a span of like 7 minutes of the original post. Most won't have seen the change by the time they have read this.

Edit 2: added crysta article.

Crysta can be bought with ultimate game cards..... interesting.... xD

To let you know right now, since I've also used Ultimate game cards. They are more of an hassle and maybe confusing to use at first. The Playspand site may also charge you extra for using the codes. So beware if you buy the code from someone/through a random deal online. Otherwise if the card are directly from the store, Playspand does not charge you extra.

You will get 1,000 points for make a Playspand account. The fee Playspand may charge is like 700points or $0.70 (the fee that I was talking about in the previous paragraph).

Well, I have 12m waiting for someone who needs gold, which I am advertising on the Market section on our forum.

Also Spazz, You will be really pissed off if Amazon miss deliver or the package was heavily damage. I know because I used to work for them. I know how some of the employers package the products. That's why I never buy pre-order games online. There's no guarantee for the safety of the things you purchased. Especially for things, in which the product of the company gives you special deals involving time of release.

In the NA Box We don't get the Tumble and the Silk Map. That's the difference between the boxes.

Posts : 433 Join date : 2009-08-06 Age : 36

o, then the eu box is more worth it than the na box...

i guess q's box pay the right price while na box is a rip off....

and spazz, u dont stalk the mailman, youy stalk the ups truck lol

Amazon deliveries are by Fedex or UPS, not by regular mail.

Subject: Re: FF14 benchmark Sat Sep 25, 2010 11:39 pm

How much does the special edition cost for u guys D:?
it's like 79.99$ + 12% tax ==' here in Canada Q.Q;
and it like so much small then the one Q has... by like A LOT..

Posts : 990 Join date : 2009-08-06

You cannot get special edition anymore, but I bought mines for like $80.

Subject: Re: FF14 benchmark Tue Sep 28, 2010 7:59 am

maybe not in the US o-o but there are like tones here in Canada... at the EB games store ;X

Posts : 990 Join date : 2009-08-06

I know Canada has extra taxes for imported stuff. So the amount for Canadians are much higher then else where, but I don't think that counts for the game. Unless the game is from/for a specific region other then NA

Subject: Re: FF14 benchmark Tue Sep 28, 2010 5:30 pm

79.99+ 12% = 89.58$... total ups 90$ >.>;
I Q.Q for that kind of money.
really? a lot of stores like have tones of special editions :'(
... there is like a shelf for FF14... and...after they are done working on ff14 ... they are gonna go back working on ff13 o.0? is that true? *u*?

O.O and is it true that the normal version in stores are just gonna be like 15$ =='?! cuz some lady that plays ff14... told me... at the EB games shop..

from 90$ dropping down to 15$ o.0? woah...

Subject: Re: FF14 benchmark Tue Sep 28, 2010 9:57 pm

Standard edition is supposed to be 49.99$.... or thats at least the price SE announced

Yeah, I've failed a lot more handcraft leve quests since release. In beta, I pretty much aced them all.

Posts : 990 Join date : 2009-08-06

Yeah, it's a bunch of BS now. Crafting per fail cost so much durability. That's why I'm stuck at lv. 10 armor smith, reg smith, weaver, gold smith. Time to be stuck at lv 10 on the others too. Lols

Subject: Re: FF14 benchmark Sat Oct 02, 2010 12:18 pm

Ill help make you armor if you need... i just got rank 16, almost 17 armorer. I dont charge gil or mats if i get reimbursed with the shards i used Smile

Yah if we get forced to use standard synth instead of rapid... it shouldnt take away 20 dura and give you 2% on a fail...

Posts : 990 Join date : 2009-08-06

Nah, I don't like taking things for free without doing/giving something, but if you just need shards then trade you back maybe... .5-2x more then the original amount? That sounds fair to me, I guess.

Tiny said the.. crafting is glitch and it's being fixed. I remember at the beginning of CE release, crafting wasn't messed up like that.

Because of this messed up crafting I'm training other skills, lols -.-
