An MMO Newbies First Time Tanking: FINAL FANTASY 14 Battle Challenge at PAX AUS 24

ZiggyD Gaming 2024-10-18 | I was invited to check out the FFXIV booth and try my hand at tanking in the Battle Challenge at PAXAUS 2024!
I'm not a big MMO player, but I keep hearing that FFXIV has so much free content and can also be treated as one big single player story, so after this taster at PAX I’m keen to give it a crack.
You can try FINAL FANTASY XIV for FREE up to level 70 with no restrictions on game time and there is also an OCE server (Materia Data Center) which is perfect for local players in ANZ! #finalfantasyxiv #paxaus #ad @SquareEnix @ffxiv

Start your free trial here - freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com/?utm_source=twitch&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=ffxiv_playmaker_anz_paxau24_1003

When one character is CLEARLY the better choice... #PAXAUS 2024

ZiggyD Gaming 2024-10-14 | Came across this cute Risk of Rain inspired indie game at Pax Aus 2024 called Dark Umbra by first time Aussie devs @CryptRatStudios - sometimes you can EASILY tell which class or character is the dev's favorite!

They said it's going to have a demo in Next Fest if you want to try it out!

The DWARVEN REALMS SURVIVAL GUIDE: Everything You Need to Know for Maximum NUMBER GO UP! - Sponsored

ZiggyD Gaming 2024-10-08 | Make sure to check out Dwarven Realms' FULL RELEASE at bit.ly/3B9MSDX
DWARVEN REALMS is the ultimate number go up ARPG - relaxed gameplay and OVER THE TOP CHARACTER PROGRESSION - ALL THE NUMBERS MUST GO UP! In this Beginner's Survival Guide I go into obsessive detail on everything you probably don't need to know about the in-dept character progression and content this game has to offer - the only thing I havent figured out is HOW TO CLOSE THE GAME PLEASE HELP... I need sleep.

Thanks to @craterstudios_official for commissioning this guide - I wouldn't have been able to afford the time I wanted to do their game justice without their support.

PATH of EXILE: TUJEN HAGGLING MADE FAST & EASY - PoE Miniguide

ZiggyD Gaming 2024-09-28 | Powered by MSI: https://msi.gm/ZiggyD-MPG-Infinite-X2 #AD
How to quickly and easily haggle with Tujen for Expeditions in #pathofexile
I did a ton of rerolls using this method and it was excellent, fast and consistent. The visual method is my own creation - it's slightly high on very large numbers which is safe but you can save a few artifacts on big haggles by using a calculator to do price x 0.55 rounded up.

How to get easy immunities on just about any #pathofexile build with Darkness Enthroned, Abyss Jewels, Tattoos and Stormshroud. It's not new tech but tattoos and other options make it super easy and flexible.

DARKNESS ENTHRONED: pathofexile.com/trade/search/Settlers/QYZ7LqvSw
You can go higher and get ever so slightly worse jewels and can go lower if your second set is a bit better.

JEWEL SEARCH:
pathofexile.com/trade/search/Settlers/pmLpnqJU0
Untag mods as needed and add more prefixes for your build to the second "Count" section. If you don't need Stun/Poison etc then just get a 2 stat and a 1 stat or any other variation with better affixes - even resists are great here!

STORMSHROUD: pathofexile.com/trade/search/Settlers/Kjb2grLU5
Just grab any! If you're trying to get corrupting blood immune dont do it here - do it on Abyss jewels.

Though many many shipments we have tested and pretty well solved the base mechanics of the Shipping in Settlers of Kalguur - here's how to get the rewards you want and to scale the currency and loot you get back from your shipments!

UPDATES:
UPDATED GUIDE: youtu.be/QTz_ffMOoP8 for DUST CHANGES
Port level may play a role in determining a minimum level for favored requests. Based on Steelmage not doing any fulfillments and then going from port 1 to 11 in one go and then first refreshing updating to a large request size. Looks like a built in catch up mechanic for juicers, makes sense so they aren't stuck doing tiny shipments for days to catch up. I wonder if there is a upper limit to trade value of requests based on your port level?

Newbies vs the Final Boss of The Final Shape for their First Raid in Destiny 2...

ZiggyD Gaming 2024-06-23 | #destiny2 #bungiecreator
I've teamed up with @MyelinGames & @Berticuss to take on The Final Shape expansion and we also got together with another fireteam to sample my personal first ever raid! I've never raided in this one (did some of 3 person content in Destiny 1 & 2) exploring the game's mechanical and exploratory dungeons and raids has been awesome. The raid was full on and very challenging, shoutout to Butters who taught us some of the mechanics so we could do the first encounter and then checkpointing us to see the final boss!

MEGALOOT is a Neuron Activator Roguelite with Better Gearing than Many Full RPGs

ZiggyD Gaming 2024-06-21 | Found the demo of MEGALOOT during Steam Next Fest and it activated my neurons hard - it's got a very clever and satisfying build creation experience with some really well thought out gear systems and stats, which for me makes a Roguelike way more interesting even if the gameplay is very simple.

Save Planets By Exploding their Core in this Upcoming DIG & DEFEND Indie Extraction Mining Roguelite

ZiggyD Gaming 2024-06-02 | Roguelike fan? A recent fav of mine: youtube.com/watch?v=vq2TBlYHWV0 An easy one to miss, so definitely worth a look!
Drill Core is an upcoming indie game in the (what I'll call) "Dig and Defend" genre - half mining half base defense roguelikes. I spent an hour checking out the early preview thanks to a key provided to me by the developer to kick off this month's Indie Tryouts!
Drill Core on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2821800/Drill_Core
It's a TinyBuild game, which seem to have a lot of bangers.

A Top Rated RPG Just Became an Incredible Roguelike Too - Wildermyth: Omenroads New Mode (Ad)

ZiggyD Gaming 2024-05-30 | Available on Steam: bit.ly/Wildermyth_ZiggyDGaming
WILDERMYTH, a overwhelmingly positively rated RPG with some unique takes on magic and procedural story telling just got a new expansion: Omenroad. And with it a new Roguelite mode that shows what can be gained from building a bite-sized content mode on top of a game that was already a chunky meal.

MANOR LORDS could be one of the all time GREATEST Medieval Sims it just needs...

ZiggyD Gaming 2024-04-23 | My thoughts on the early access release of the incredible new survival town building and medieval combat games - Manor Lords.

I've love to see it get there and become part of my list of favorite story-telling games!

Everything was done in solo self found with the Circle of Fortune from a fresh start. Build is viable with no starting gear. Should be hardcore viable (I've only perished a couple of times during while I was still figuring out the build).
