Update 4/9/17
A FFXIV Update for 04/09/2017
So I had been PUG’ing away at dungeons trying to get my iLvl to 230 to finish the 3.5 MSQ, and hit what I thought was a glitch. Before Friday, I had equipment with this setup (left to right, weapon to ring 2): W:210, H:230, B:230, Hn:225, Wa:230, L:225, F:230, N:230, E:230, Br:210, R1:230, R2:225 = i225 (225.41) I was able to get the shire bracelet and some new hands, but my iLvl was saying i228…

Its Time to Return Once Again -- 03/26/17
Return to Eorzea - 03/26/17 Update
Its been 9 months since the last post, but only a little over 8 months since I last played. I had barely cleared the cob webs in here when I got pulled away to play SWTOR with some friends again. But now I’m back again, and looking forward to the future of FFXIV. I’ve preordered the Stormblood expansion, and got everything registered to participate in prerelease week. After getting everything…

Twitter had a nice freak-out this afternoon as a ship resembling the Ghost from the Star Wars Rebels cartoon was spotted in a new Rogue One commercial. Easter egg? Cameo? Only time will tell.
This would be awesome if it was a Rebels cameo
Updated Gathering Collectible Rotations for 3.3 — Eldelphia’s Blog I completely missed these on Reddit but Lord Rotz pointed them out to me. I could get up to 6 collectibles from Chysahl/Adamantite before these and a decent return on Legendary nodes so haven’t really felt the need but I want to try these out.

The Palindrome Update 06-16-16
NUMBERS! So its been a crazy week for me, with a bunch to talk about. Got my first piece of Lore gear, Bard body, which looks like someone took the skin off a huge fish and said, “this should look good!” I was working so hard to get to iLvl205 so I wouldn’t be locked out of stuff in 3.3, that I forgot about the Lore tomestones. In addition to getting gear, I’ve been unlocking other things,…

Character update 6/2/16
While I didn’t get everything accomplished that I wanted to over the 3-day weekend, I did get closer to reaching several objectives. I got in several dungeon runs on my bard, and I was able to get either armor pieces or esoterics needed, so I could do the Anti-Tower dungeon and finish the 3.2 story. Being able to add Pharos Sirius (Hard) and The Arboretum to the mix in the level 60 dungeon…

General update of things I've been doing in #FFXIV - 05/26/16
I wanted to get something up before the long weekend. I have several things I want to accomplish this weekend, and hoping I have enough time to get most of them done. I have been trying to do at least two dungeon runs a night for esoterics or bard equipment drops. I’m still looking to get hands, feet, and neck for iLvl160 drops. I did get enough esoterics from leveling in HW dungeons, and the…

New Feature/Content for Dungeons
An idea to increase appreciation for FFXIV dungeons and lore @FF_XIV_en #FFXIV
With my recent pursuit of iLvl170 and iLvl180 equipment, I’ve been hitting the Duty Finder hard, trying to get as many dungeons done for esoterics before I burn out. The obvious reason its easy to burn out doing this, is people are super-focused on getting through the dungeon as quickly as possible, so they can rinse and repeat. However the first time people are rushed through these dungeons,…

@ceciltaru reblogged your post: Timeline for SWTOR and added:
The thing that messes their timeline up: Nok Drayen dies in Smuggler Chapter 1, but is seen as a live participant in the Star Cabal meeting in Agent’s chapter 3. Until this “paradox” is solved officially, these timelines that make it look like every classes storylines all happen at the same time are meaningless.
It’s been a while since I last played an IA, so I am not sure, this really makes sense: If I didn’t miss a meeting, then I may have a possible explanation. After Belsavis the IA travels to the Tytun Rings to retrieve a holo recording of a Star Cabal conference. The first screenshot above shows a part of the recording. It’s the only time I remember Nok Drayen being shown in IA chapter 3. Nok Drayen is no participant of the meeting in the Star Chamber after Corellia. Back on Dromund Kaas the fragments found at the Tytun Rings are processed. Keeper (former Watcher Two) states the recording is 6 months old (second screenshot). 6 month would still leave a huge gap between somewhere at the end of 3643 and the first quarter of 3641. Watcher Nine (third screenshot) says the different participants talk on different datastreams. We know the recording contains the holo trap to overwhelm the genetically enhanced Intelligence personnel, so it has clearly been tampered with. Immo it’s safe to assume the Star Cabal wanted the recording to be found, which makes me mistrust its content. The recording could have been composed out of various independent transmissions, and made to look like it was 6 months old. If that were the case, then the recording of Nok Drayen could very well be much older. In the shown recording Nok Drayen talks about the loss of the Old man, even offers his sympathies, and wonders that it might be difficult to replace him. But the Old Man was killed by the IA on Tatooine several months earlier. Why would Nok Drayen talk about this so much later? An organization like the Star Cabal would have dealt with the Old Man’s succession by then, wouldn’t they? Immo it makes more sense for him to say this if his thawing lies much closer to IA Tatooine, which the end of smuggler Alderaan does, if the storylines happen at the same time.
Please feel free to let me know what you think of this theory.
If the recording is spliced together, it might help to explain some of the inconsistencies, but not all of them. He knows things have happened, talks about the Old Man dying, and all of this in non-labored breathing. If we are to believe any of this, heres the order of events:
-- 6 months before the Imperial Agents ch3, Star Cabal meets to discuss state of galaxy, with Nok Drayen, Lem Leksende, The Prince, and others in attendance
-- Imperial Agent has killed the Old Man, something Nok Drayen mentions, so you have to assume it was before the above meeting.
-- If we assume the meeting took place 6 months prior, the only time that makes sense in regards to the Smuggler storyline, is shortly after coming out of carbon freeze, while the Smuggler is off trying to get the reliquary, which can make sense if a few days pass. But I look at what happens when the Smuggler returns, Nok is coughing up a lung, wheezing, and getting ready to keel over. The hologram version was doing none of that. And remember, Nok’s been in carbon freeze for 10 years, after upsetting whatever balance existed in the Underworld.
-- And this is on top of all of the other things found in the different class stories that are intertwined, such as the Emperors Children awakening and such. Months, or years could have passed in order for some of those events to have occurred. Some events are easier to assume could have happened relatively close together, like within days, but others not so much.
Again, this is why I wish they would give us a definitive, timeline, using the class and companion storylines. My own theory has the main class and companion storylines happening over about a 12 to 15 year span.
Timeline for SWTOR
The following is a rough timeline for the events in SWTOR as stated by Wookieepedia. The links are for Wookieepedia pages giving a more detailed overview of the events of the corresponding years. Updated version 05/2016. Wookieepedia now states dates for Rishi, Yavin 4, Ziost, and the events on Zakuul.
3653 BBY Treaty of Coruscant
3643 BBY (10 ATC) Start of ingame events Chapter 1
3642 BBY (11 ATC) Chapter 2 End of the Cold War, renewal of open hostilities
3641 BBY (12 ATC) Chapter 3, Ilum, Eternity Vault
3640 BBY (13 ATC) Karagga’s Palace, Black Hole, Denova, Asation
3639 BBY (14 ATC) Makeb, Raid on the Arcanum, Seizure of CZ-198, Dread War (Oricon)
3638 BBY (15 ATC) Kuat Drive Yards, Assault on Tython, Korriban Incursion, Manaan, Raid on Rakata Prime, Battle of Rishi, Battle of Yavin 4
3637 BBY (16 ATC) Devastation of Ziost, Eternal Empire emerges from Wild Space and starts a war of conquest The Outlander is frozen in carbonite.
3636 BBY (17 ATC) Eternal Empire blockades Coruscant and Dromund Kaas cease-fire treaties
3634 BBY (19 ATC) Kaliyo arrives on Zakuul
3632 BBY (21 ATC) The Outlander is freed from their carbonite prison. Battle of Asylum
HOBOY, is my headcanon timeline seriously fucked or what?
Oh wow, the last time I tried to SWTOR Timeline, Wookiepedia listed everything from Makeb to Yavin 4/Ziost as happening in the same year. This timeline makes much more sense now, and lines up pretty well with what I had headcanoned!
Think I need to bump the ages of everyone in the Renatus Legacy up a year or so. Time to math!
EDIT: Awesome, I don’t need to age anyone up. However, now I can actually calculate when everyone was born! \o/
You know, it’d be nice if the powers that be could get their shit straight on the first go round, because now my ENTIRE timeline is fucked. Awesome. Fantastic. I certainly haven’t rewritten this calendar enough times already, no sir.
Actually … having thought about it while I get a cup of coffee … you know what, no. Fuck that. It’s staying the way it is. Rewriting it again is going to require a cascading chain of edits to a fic already pushing 160k words. I’m not doing it until I do my final rewrite and edit when the beast is done.
(But seriously, they couldn’t see how packing all this shit in the same year was not particularly plausible to begin with?)
Started trying to cobble together my own timeline recently and I had 13 ATC for the start of Chapter 1, 15 ATC for the main events of SoR and 16 for Ziost, so I’m not too fucked, but now I’m trying to remember where I got 13 ATC from and why that’s so different from this.
(Also I’m not too fucked because I haven’t written anything specifically referring to any dates yet and am only using the timeline as my own mental reference for how old everyone is, so score one for being vague about dates in my fic, I guess.)
The thing that messes their timeline up: Nok Drayen dies in Smuggler Chapter 1, but is seen as a live participant in the Star Cabal meeting in Agent’s chapter 3. Until this “paradox” is solved officially, these timelines that make it look like every classes storylines all happen at the same time are meaningless.
Update 5-16-16
I worked on completing the 3.0 main scenario quests, because I really wanted to see the ending, and start working toward catching up for patch 3.3. I loved the cutscene that played before entering Azys Lla. I had a feeling something big was going to happen, someone would have to die, sacrificing themselves to complete the mission. It was a beautifully done cutscene and definitely had a hard…

Wow it has been a long time since the last post here… I’m back after a long break where I was primarily playing SWTOR and Minecraft. I was keeping up with changes in FFXIV, so there’s a lot to look forward to doing in game. I’m moving away from the journalized setup for the blog. While I will continue to keep the physical version of the journal, posts on here will focus on accomplishments, more…

Recreating 1.0 Gridania in RPG Maker VX Ace and I could stiilll use some screenshots. Also, some screenshots and map locations of where dungeons in the Black Shroud were, as well as different landmarks and hamlets would be nice. :>
On that note, my 1.0 remake looks totally nothing like 1.0. But I just wanna get most of the NPCs/Buildings in the maps at least! :P
Old FFXIV 1.0 maps can be viewed here: http://www.ffxivmaps.com/old.html
I don’t recall if Mun-Tuy Cellar and Tam-tara Deepcroft were in at launch, but they were non-instanced. I do remember they added Thousand Maws at some point, because you needed at least 2 people in a party to enter the dungeon.
So what I really want to know about the Star Wars universe is the pre-tech stuff. You find an ancient tomb, and in it is - an ancient star map. You can’t tell me these civilizations all developed spaceflight and hyperspace tech right out the gate, though? What about all of the stone age and bronze age and pre-writing, pictograph age, pre-printing ages? There’s never anything that’s pre-tech and I want to see that. I want to see what these civilizations were like before spaceflight, before droids. Is it just that everything’s been around so long that they’ve lost and destroyed those first, primal worlds? I find it hard to believe, given how many cultures have a ‘homeworld’ with no record of anything before.
I think I have a new character idea, now I just need some actual canon lore to back him up. (There could be info out there I haven’t found, I don’t claim to be a lore guru.)
As I recall, according to stuff found on Wookiepedia (and it is Legacy now) regarding the Rakata and their Infinite Empire, the Gree, the Celestials, there was tech lying around on a bunch of these conquered worlds that the developed humanoids just had to learn to re-engineer or learn how it worked. It was interesting to see the Voss stuff because they have not been mentioned previously that I recall, so the beginnings of their civilization are unknown. The actual Sith species may be another, as according to the stuff with Gav and Jori Daragon, the Sith were tribal with some technology wielded by Naga Sadow.
Its cool to find someone else interested in these civilizations before they were discovered, conquered, etc...
