Been playing catchup with my character. I am on the last push of the "Through The Maelstrom" questline (yes, I am that far behind). My most noticeable achievement is having beaten Garuda (Extreme) and getting the Xanthos mount on my first attempt. My ilvl is around 106 now thanks to a lot of new gear, the Relic Reborn Gae Bolg and a few purchases.

I just got to Armorer level 34 last night. Getting there... I might level blacksmith too afterwards. It actually goes pretty fast if anyone else is interested in leveling a craft for helping with the airship (nudge nudge). All I have been doing is the GC supply and provisioning daily and daily Ixali beast tribe quests, which give a ton of xp. It would go even faster obviously if I was focusing on it more and doing leves also.
Oh yeah, and the Ixali quests don't require real mats (except for one that lets you turn in real crafted items for extra xp and rep), so it is a very inexpensive way to level a crafting class as well.

Joe: A bit late but I got the Setzer Barding too. I switched back to Crested Barding for the time being to match my heavily armored Warrior. Also that moonlight pic is gorgeous...

My first paycheck is in, which means I'm finally able to change worlds.
However, I have two small problems to consider - namely, the world/server change.
I'm in a FC currently, which has about 30 members and there's usually people on at all times of day. However, this is largely due to a merger with another FC, which happened about a month and a half ago, all of whom are people I don't know in any capacity (my two friends in the FC knew them through a linkshell or somesuch, idk). My two friends (whom any longtime TLS user would know - one is currently IP banned) generally tend to spend a lot of time doing content with them, and it's pretty rare I do anything other than solo stuff when I play. Which isn't fun. This is why I want to change servers.
However, I'm not stupid, and am fully aware that this is going to piss my friends off. A lot. Like...a lot, a lot.
The second consideration is simpler - which world to transfer to? I could come to Cerb with you guys; I could move to Gilgamesh with my new FF friend from work (he said he would pay me to move lol); or I could move to Behemoth, which I know is active and have made some internet-type friends on via twitch streams and the like.
What should I do?

We'd love you to come to Cerbs meggy but do what's best for you. The EU thing is a non-issue because cerberus is one of the most populated in the world and there are a load of murcans on, but if it's going to cause problems with folks maybe option three is your best bet, idk. We'd love to have you anyway <3

^This.
The only reason I'm still in Aether-Goblin rather than heading to Diablos with one of my friends, Balmung with another one of my better friends, or Cerbs with you all is because I'm tied down to an FC that consists of like 5 active members of which my wife and I are two. The other three are my good friends, but if I transition the FC would fall apart and I would feel guilty as hell.

I like the TLS fc, it's a very cool sort of online home. Usually I'm chilling out at the house while idling and crafting (it's also the quickest TP to Marketboard there is which is <3). I also love the FCs around ours because they are all friendly and will do content with you. It's also just nice to see faces from TLS pop on from time to time like the occasional Force/Avec appearance or a lot more during the free weekends.
Cerbs is cool. There's lots of people to play with and they are reasonably friendly before the fifth or so wipe
.
Plus I'm on Cerberus so like what are you waiting for.

I will be bringing my main character (named Jason Tandro) over sometime this paycheck. I also have a Lalafell character I've been playing as named Aliceis Butz. List it! Thanks!

The Transfer is underway. Jason Tandro should be in Cerberus by the end of the day.

Triple-posting... wow, Don't you have to be a spam bot or Username to attract such an honor?
Just letting you all know, I used my free "Fantasia" for my character to switch my Lalafell character to a Mi'qote. I did this for three reasons:
1) The hilarious name "Aliceis Butz" was a joke name for a joke character and his race was chosen to match. This character has been given a shove into legitimate and deserves an appropriate style and moniker (the name change will have to come later though).
2) I don't really care for the Lalafell design. To be honest I find most of the races in the game unappealing except Hyur and Mi'qote. I guess that makes me a fantasy racist. But no, Elezen (Elves) are basically your bog standard tall and pointy lot, Roegadyn all look like Ganondorf after he fell off the wagons of sobriety and diet and Lalafell, while adorable, don't really scream warrior class (If i liked magic more, then maybe, but I find magic unwieldy...) . Maybe I'll try a pure merchant class next one and give it a go again.
3) This is a minor point but the POV camera didn't match up perfectly with where the head should be and that irks me. I guess they're trying for a neutral angle that doesn't give you a disadvantage in combat but it shunts the immersion a wee bit. Unless Aliceis has a go-go-gadget neck extension it's off-putting.
So if you see him again he'll be Mi'qote. Still trying to think of a good name. Perhaps Khajitt Haswares, but that's a little too punny even for me.
