Gotcha

whole wasp
#

Nope. Not anymore

weak flume
#

They just look different

stray saffron
#

well, they differ in color <_<

whole wasp
#

Pick selene she cute

alpine pendant
#

use selene and be an edgy boyee

whole wasp
weak flume
#

Selene? That's the orange/pink one right?

stray saffron
#

they used to have different abilities, but tbh Eos was just better in most situations, so they homogenized the fairies for the sake of balance

alpine pendant
#

yeah shes like purple and yellow :o

stray saffron
#

not having access to whispering dawn on Selene felt baaaad

whole wasp
#

True. I miss fey caress alot tho.

weak flume
#

So, from what I understand about SCH is: Stick Fairy to Tank, heal everyone else

stray saffron
#

the fairy does her thing automatically

whole wasp
#

Fairy autoheals. Just let her be

#

Watch the tank closely.

#

Dps usually dont take multiple hard hits unless they big dumb.

alpine pendant
#

her aoe does pop surrounding her , so ideally later in the game you wanna put her between the tank and the dps

stray saffron
#

the same thing applies with scholar as with any other healer: monitor not just the tank's current health, but the rate at which the tank is losing health

#

tanks can be taking constant damage and still be safe for 5-6 GCDs while you have whispering dawn rolling

#

that's a lot of time to dps

weak flume
#

I main MNK, so healing is kind of new to me.

whole wasp
#

It aint hard. Theres no rotation to speak of so you can dedicate alot of time to sitiation awaressness.

weak flume
#

I'm learning that. I like White Mage and Scholar a lot. Astro...is way too...gimiky

stark sleet
weak flume
#

I love the Astro weapons though...Which is sad. I might just grind some low level dungeons to get a feel for it

whole wasp
#

Their LB3 is so pretty too.

leaden ginkgo
#

So, curiosity for a glamour, and trying my luck:
Are there any pants, that hide boots?

#

Example:
The Republican Signifier's Culottes pants, a PvP set of Caster pants, can hide boots under its loose pants

#

but are there any other at all

weak flume
#

Do you play male or female?

leaden ginkgo
#

Female? . o.

astral sonnet
#

female cause armor look better on them

weak flume
#

Yuna's dress from the mog station hides a lot of the top parts of the boots
I use it to hide the legs of the werewolf set

leaden ginkgo
#

Well, dresses and skirts are obivous

#

Just curious for Pants specifically

weak flume
#

Ah

severe mica
#

I just bought the complete edition. I was wondering if I could change my character race or would I have to buy the Fantasia potion?

astral sonnet
#

be a bunny

whole wasp
#

You get a free fantasia once for completig ARR. Thats it

#

Else you have to pay

severe mica
#

@astral sonnet lmao

#

@whole wasp okay so I’ll just wait it out I’m almost level 40 what level is end game for the base game. Also can I upgrade to the collector edition and is it worth it?

jovial terrace
#

Level 50 is the max for ARR

#

Dunno bout collector edition

twilit arch
#

whether collector's edition is worth it is up to you

#

since the items are largely cosmetic

severe mica
#

Well yea I do like some of the mounts and weapons

#

Also I’m on Crystal> Maloboro is any one wants to welcome a new player. I would love to make some friends on here

wicked dirge
#

Yeah you should be able to upgrade through Mogstation, not sure what the price or extras are though to say if it's worth it

severe mica
#

Another question would I be able to pick up my progress on PC if I was playing on console and bought the game on there?

junior yacht
#

yes

#

you would need to buy the pc version of the game, but as long as you're using the same account everything else is freely accessible regardless of platform

severe mica
#

Dam I thought since I already bought it on PS4 I could just play on my PC. My motherboard fried on me so I can only play on my PS4

cunning portal
severe mica
#

I would also like to know I hate having to keep an eye on the chat box especially in battle

viscid acorn
#

So if I have understood correctly then there's side classes (blacksmith, fishing etc etc) is it worth leveling those classes up?

junior yacht
#

depends on what you mean by "worth"

viscid acorn
#

Hence will they benefit me in the future

junior yacht
#

they're mostly just there for fun/making money

viscid acorn
#

Oh

#

Which one makes me the most money 😮

junior yacht
#

but honestly most of the money you spend will be fueling your crafters and gatherers in the first place

#

so if you don't craft and gather you don't need nearly as much money to begin with

viscid acorn
#

I see

wintry chasm
#

Eh you can level crafters and make money from it while leveling

#

Crafting and gathering isn't nearly as hard as people make it out to be and especially now with the XP increases

#

As for what one makes most money you have to level them all

#

They all use materials from one another so you need to be able to make all the materials yourself or else have to buy them for an overpriced amount

#

Also what sells better just depends on your server market, time, and just what items are hot

#

Aka "do your own research"

#

anyone wants to hang with me on XIV

#

even tho im lvl 13

rich bay
#

@astral sonnet, depends on which server you are. That should be nice to know.

astral sonnet
#

NA i think

#

ohh the name of the server xD

lean quartz
#

why is it that i was assured by 100% of the ffxiv community that i talked to, that i could keep up in level with the msq by playing multiple classes, not worrying about side quests, and never even mentioning level roulettes, and then managed to hit a wall at level 40 when i completely ignored all of that advice? i never deviated from gladiator/paladin, did just about every side quest i laid eyes on, and did a couple levelling roulettes.

astral sonnet
#

famfrit ?

stray saffron
#

do you have road to 70 mel

#

because without it you will hit MSQ walls

crystal bluff
#

^

astral sonnet
#

it also says primal

stray saffron
#

i mean, the answer to your question is "because the ffxiv community is composed of fallible humans who do not have complete knowledge of this gigantic video game"

gloomy seal
#

u have to spam dungeons to level

#

not side quest

#

side quest give a piss poor amount of exp

#

roulette then highest level dungeon is the most efficient way/ or potd 51-60 spam

astral sonnet
#

i would of gueesed that willl be it when it comes to lvling

#

potd

#

?

#

what is that

wintry chasm
#

Yeah if you had the preferred server bonus you wouldn't hit level gates even without doing anything for xp. I assume whoever told you that assumed you were going to go to a preferred server or they have only played the game WITH the preferred server bonus

Deep Dungeon Info
Info

Deep Dungeon Play Guide

Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.

For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.

astral sonnet
#

o.o ive heard you get good exp but idk where to find irt

wintry chasm
#

Check that link

#

It'll tell you

gloomy seal
#

quarrymill i think

wintry chasm
#

Need to do the unlock quest first Barcode

#

which again, check the link for

astral sonnet
#

umm idk where it is cause im new to the game compleatly

wintry chasm
#

that link tells you where to go

astral sonnet
#

oh lol

wintry chasm
#

xD

#

Palace of the Dead is the most efficient method for leveling DPS to around level 61 but it's also very boring after a while. You also want to do your roulette every day (or in your case just the leveling roulette since that is all you have at that level)

astral sonnet
#

i would like to hit 50 kinda fast

wintry chasm
#

So if you get bored of Palace of the Dead I'd just....do highest level dungeon or something

gloomy seal
#

i would suggest doing msq until u hit a wall then do potd/dungeons

astral sonnet
#

im lvl 14 xD

gloomy seal
#

the issue with leveling fast is that all content is gated by msq

wintry chasm
#

Oh ngl I thought you were that person who got level gated at level 40

#

Oh dear

#

Yeah can you not do main story?

#

That's the best way to level up

gloomy seal
#

if ur too low level for msq check ur class quest and if ur too low level for that uhh... hunting log?

wintry chasm
#

Hunting log isn't bad

oh the server im in is famfrit

compact crater
#

Currently doing MSQ on first char and am lvl 54 while on 2.4 quests.
Should I do roulettes on this char (DPS)? Or should I do them on an alt?
Basically wondering about whether or not rest of MSQ will be sufficient alone to lvl me up to 80. If so, roulettes seem wasted on this char.

stray saffron
#

as we noted a bit ago, you will hit MSQ walls without road to 70

#

and even if you have road to 70, you will hit MSQ walls on the way to 80

#

so it's never a bad idea to do roulettes

compact crater
#

Alright, thanks. Apologies for the repeated question.

warped zenith
#

anyone got a good linkshell i could join? idk if thats even a thing

stray saffron
#

in general, if you have just "a linkshell," it'll be the kind of thing friends use to stay in touch

#

most publicly facing linkshells are for something

#

you have linkshells for hunts, for rare fates, for mount farming

#

for roleplayers

warped zenith
#

got a link for fates and rp?

stray saffron
#

linkshells are server-specific, you'll have to find someone on your server that has a linkshell you're interested in

warped zenith

Is it just me or is the Nier raid less obvious with its tells than usual

visual flame
#

Hey all, I was super excited to purchase complete edition today 50% off but the sale seems to have ended early. Am I missing something?

warped zenith
#

ooof

#

how much earlier?

#

did you check steam or official site

open coral
#

Copied Factory has a lot of shorter reaction time mechanics than most XIV content, yes

#

Probably because it was designed by the NieR team

visual flame
#

Steam still has it

#

But I am hesitant to commit to them

vernal surge
#

Ah okay

visual flame
#

They said the sale was through 01/01/2020

#

01/10**

vernal surge
#

Felt way more unforgiving and had a lot more physical tells than I'm used to

open coral
#

It’s a very NieR experience

#

If you’ve ever played a NieR game, it feels a lot like that

#

The fights are basically modified versions of their Automata counterparts

gritty oracle
#

Can I mail to a different data centre?

open coral
#

No

obsidian patio

Datacenters are completely isolated from each other

rich bay
#

You can't send mail to other servers either.

leaden ginkgo
#

Most fastpaced/fun melee dps

obsidian patio
#

Well in terms of speed that would probably be Monk

#

Though ninja and samurai are also fast

#

I’m currently enjoying ninja with their recent changes, but fun is as always subjective

timber fossil
#

monk is definitely the busiest DPS at the moment

#

i think it has the most positional as well? or is it dragoon?

gritty oracle
#

If I lower the CPU priority of the FFXIV process (via task manager), will that reduce processor strain at the expense of FPS? I don't want FPS, I want my computer not to crash after 15 minutes of running the game.

obsidian patio
#

Monk has the most positionals at 6, DRG/NIN have 3 and SAM at 2

timber fossil
#

you have a bigger issue if it crashes after 15 minutes. and lowering cpu priority won't change that.

#

check your computer cooling

#

actually

gritty oracle
#

it's a laptop tbh, not much to change about it

timber fossil
#

what is the error that crashes it? any error code?

shrewd relic
#

I’m lvl 59 but why won’t it let me use paladin skills below my level?

gritty oracle
#

my laptop shuts down, that's the error code

timber fossil
#

likely cooling

#

make sure you play on a solid surface, don't block the vents.

jade quartz
#

Looks like you’ve missed your job quests @shrewd relic

timber fossil
#

and if you have an air duster, blow the vents to get the dust out.

gritty oracle
#

@shrewd relic Some abilities and skills/spells might be gated behind class quests, or are "enhanced" versions of basic spells that automatically replace their "unenhanced" version on your hotbar.

obsidian patio
#

level 52-60 skills and the level 70 one come from job quests

shrewd relic
#

The paladin job quests are in chamber of rule in uldah right? :0

jade quartz
#

They start there

shrewd relic
#

I went there and didn’t see any quests

jade quartz
#

The HW ones move around HW zones

#

Check your last completed one in the completed section of your journal

shrewd relic
#

When does HW start?

gritty oracle
#

ok so below your MSQ tracker, you should see a quest name in a smaller font. That's your current job quest. Clicking on that should bring up the map of the zone where the job quest is.

obsidian patio
#

Based on where you are, a bit more than 100 quests away

timber fossil
#

@gritty oracle pm me if you want me to help you troubleshoot your laptop.

gritty oracle
#

Thanks!

shrewd relic
#

Nothing appears

#

That’s what I was wondering too

#

No smaller quest font for job

jade quartz
#

Seems like you’re not in Heavensward yet

#

So the 50+ job quests are not yet available.

shrewd relic
#

Ahh okay that makes sense ty 🙂

Hi everyone, new player here, I bought the game today and was wondering what of the 3 recomended servers on chaos is best for a player from spain

So, the main story of the game (not dlc) ends at lvl 50, correct?

stray saffron
#

no

#

main story goes all the way to 80

#

it's all one continuous quest chain

open coral
#

@leaden ginkgo The ARR story ends at 50. Expansions aren’t dlc though

stray saffron
#

the expansions are all part of the same story

open coral
#

I don’t understand why people insist on referring to expansions as dlc. Dlc is something completely different

gritty oracle
#

@meager dagger Unless you have a specific Free Company ("guild") in mind to join, or care about the hunt (kill rare monsters as party) or marketboard (player market) scene, it doesn't matter. You can party up with anyone on Chaos, and do content with them. That being said, if you want to rp much, I recommend Omega, which has a fluorishing RP community.

@gritty oracle Thank you!!, Im more interested in fainding the server where are most of the spanish speaking players, I will go with luisoux for the moment and try my luck finding a spanish speaking FC there.

oak spindle
#

with boss fights with the eye where you have to turn away from it i usually physically press s to move backwards so i dont look at them, ive seen some streamers physically turn their screen camera away, does that work too?

timber fossil
#

that won't work. it's probably just coincidence?

#

your character has to turn away

stray saffron
#

if you turn with rclick it works

#

one mouse button turns the camera, one turns the camera + character

#

ppl with standard movement on will turn their camera, ppl with legacy can just press S

obsidian patio
#

Although it wasn’t asked, but for pretty much all gazes outside of the base game, you can turn away at the last second and should still dodge

#

Some gazes in the base game, mainly Angra Mainyu in World of Darkness and Melusine in T8 need you to wait for the game to actually tell you that you dodged the attack before facing the boss again

sweet pasture
#

Anyone have advice for avoiding ground aoes when you're tanking like 10 mobs at once?

#

i want to keep them steady for DPS but it's a cartoon dust cloud of anime FX up in this bitch

obsidian patio
#

You can change party member visual effects to limited in character config

stray saffron
#

i swivel my camera straight up over my character's head and try to focus only on the point right between my character's feet

#

since that's where your hitbox is for dodging purposes

jade quartz
#

Moving around during AoE is fine

stray saffron
#

yeah, you'll have to do some dodging for sure

jade quartz
#

DPS don’t have positionals on their AoEs.

stray saffron
#

just try and be economical about it, try to dodge as little as possible

jade quartz
#

Ideally you can like

#

Dodge into the pack

#

Rather than running away and having them follow you

#

New red mage player and new player to ff14 and I bought a level skip to 70 and story skip to heavensward. Anywhere to get help of how to setup the hotbars correctly for the abilities? I feel completely lost and regretting buying it now

timber fossil
#

for me, i put similar function skills nearby to help me remember them.

#

like AOE rotation skills together, single target rotation together

#

and find a dummy to practice a bit

#

adjust according to how you like it as you practice

#

take your time to read through the skills

#

understand what each skills do first

verbal reef
#

I guess I should have learned that stuff before doing this :/

vernal surge
#

Is gunblade a good beginner tank?

#

I have a lv43 PLD but kinda wanna not continue with that

timber fossil
#

@verbal reef it certainly is very overwhelming with all the skills coming up. if you really want though, you can go through the dungeons from low to high. like start with lv16 dungeon and gradually increase the levels. so you get a sudo experience of "leveling up".

#

when you're in a low level dungeon, your levels get sync'd down and your skill availability will be at that level as well.

#

@vernal surge gunblade is certainly not hard at all. by all means, try it.

vernal surge
#

Thanks

#

I just remembered that the class starts at 70?

timber fossil
#

60

vernal surge
#

Would that be a problem for someone like me that hasn't really tanked outside of a couple dungeons

timber fossil
#

you need to have a job at least lv60 already btw.

slate arrow
#

If you know the basics of tanking feel free

vernal surge
#

I think dungeon wise I'm fine

#

But the offtank main tank and picking up batteries thing makes me scared

timber fossil
#

that's just mechanics, you just need to play more to understand them. GNB isn't harder then any other tanks in this regard.

#

people are usually nice enough. just say in the chat that you're new and ask if you need to know anything as soon as you get into the instance.

#

the difference between tanks are just their rotations and damage mitigation. basics of tanking like pulling aggro, tank swapping, etc are all the same.

vernal surge
#

Alright thanks I'll give it a try

clever river

1 of our tanks dced during normal raids and we are searching for another one, our fc tank is queing (with join in progress party option on) and he cant join?

Does that gold place (forgot its name) give you cosmetics with MGP?

clever river
#

how does this work?

#

he is still in queue while our party is searching for a tank

timber fossil
#

@viscid acorn gold saucer. yeah, a bunch of glamour items and mounts, etc.

#

@clever river make sure he actually has that raid unlocked? other than that, i don't know..

clever river
#

he has it

#

oh well we just left

#

btw if he doesnt have that raid unlocked he cant queue for it no? xD

timber fossil
#

i'd assume you're talking about normal raid roulette

#

maybe he doesn't have the specific raid you guys are in

clever river
#

no he was specifically queueing for alphascape 4.0

#

and we were in that raid

#

searching for a new tank

#

He couldnt get in

It doesn't always work properly

you guys went in alphascape 4.0 through roulette or that specific raid queue?

Glamour FAQ
Info

"What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?"

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests "If I Had a Glamour" in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required to unlock Glamour, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest "Color Your World". You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender and choosing "Purchase Items".

"How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?"

Glamouring is done by right clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to have a different look and choosing the option "Cast Glamour". After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest "Absolutely Glamourous", buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or by buying them from the marketboard.

@queen merlin body piece.

#

ok ty

@queen merlin it's just general gearing priority. go with weapon first, body, pants, and the rest. phantas doesn't have weapon yet so body.

#

ok, so stat amount>ilvl

#

Is there a shop or merchant that sells outfits in FF14? or are most of the costumes from events?

ilvl = higher stats though

#

main stats that is

ok

jade quartz
#

Whoa

timber fossil
#

@fervent bloom no, except the mogstation where you buy with real cash.

#

those are usually from the past event items

jade quartz
#

There’s a phantasmagoria weapon @queen merlin @timber fossil

#

You should be getting that first

#

100%

timber fossil
#

wait, what

queen merlin
#

there are? where

#

eulmore vendor did not sell them as far as I could see

timber fossil
#

isn't it just upgrading?

jade quartz
#

Tomestone weapons have a slightly different system

timber fossil
#

upgrading the eden savage ones

jade quartz
#

Talk to the token exchange

#

Deepshadow gear

timber fossil
#

i don't think they sell one of the tokens yet?

jade quartz
#

A weapon is exchanged for ten Mowen’s tokens (phantasmagoria)

queen merlin
#

thats cheap?

jade quartz
#

And the blade token is guaranteed reward from Eden normal final floor.

#

It’s 1000 phantasmagoria and four runs of Eden’s Gate: Sepulture, in other words.

timber fossil
#

OH, that's what the blade tokens for. lmao i suck. thanks Lyon

jade quartz
#

This should be your first purchase.

#

The capped tomestone weapon has always worked like this since patch 3.2 about four years back

#

But when a raid tier is new you’re limited to one of the normal raid tokens per week

#

So you have to wait longer to have enough for your weapon.

queen merlin
#

how long does a full eden clear take? on normal

jade quartz
#

Not a problem for the current tier though as it’s been out long enough that the weekly loot restrictions have been lifted.

#

Uh

#

Five or eight minutes

queen merlin
#

lol ok

#

i thought there were several bosses

jade quartz
#

Oh

#

You mean the whole tier?

queen merlin
#

I am not sure what I mean tbh, never done a raid in FFXIV before

jade quartz
#

Completing all of it the first time will take you an evening.

queen merlin
#

edens gate resurrection is what I have

jade quartz
#

Raid tiers consist of four bosses which are each a separate instance.

timber fossil
#

they're not hard. even if you go in blind and you'll figure it out pretty quickly. even if not, you'll probably get carried and still go through the raid.

queen merlin
#

noted

jade quartz
#

You beat resurrection, then the story will bring you to Eden’s Gate: Descent.

queen merlin
#

ah

jade quartz
#

The fourth instance, Sepulture, is the one that rewards the weapon token.

queen merlin
#

cool

jade quartz
#

It’s a guaranteed drop straight into your inventory, you don’t have to roll on the treasure chest loot for it.

queen merlin
#

I have some farming to do then, only got 362 tomestones

timber fossil
#

there's a 450 weekly cap btw.

jade quartz
#

So once you complete the raids and story once, you just run Sepulture three more times

#

And you’ll have the required tokens

#

And then yeah just save up phantasmagoria.

queen merlin
#

cheers guys

I haven’t healed savage but just like

#

Use your cooldowns

sturdy mason
#

I try to save my lilies for healing the tanks

jade quartz
#

Plenary indulgence, temperance

#

I guess

green grail
#

medica 2 is pretty bad onhit heal so precast it if anything

#

unless you plenary it i guess

#

idk heal stuff

timber fossil
#

use Afflatus Rapture, no need to save lily just for the tank.

jade quartz
#

Coordinate with your cohealer and ask your tanks and dps to use their mitigation cds

green grail
#

that too

timber fossil
#

pop asylum as well

sturdy mason
#

I save Asylum for his 3x Vice and Virtue rotation

timber fossil
#

asylum cooldown is 90s. plan around it.

#

you can still use it and save it for the right time

sturdy mason
#

I know that most folks encourage burning CDs and lilies before using MP abilities, which is why I ask. I normally do Indulgence + Rapture/Medica 2

#

but sometimes Indulgence isn't off CD

green grail
#

well it's not really an RNG cooldown

#

make it be off CD

#

plan stuff out

timber fossil
#

that's usually good enough on your part. if it's still not enough, your cohealer suck and just pop another medica I, it's painful to use medica I at that point, but you gotta do it lol.

sturdy mason
#

Hard to keep all my CDs in mind when the fight isn't second nature to me

#

There are over 24 abilities I use regularly, it's a lot lol

timber fossil
#

play more and you'll start feeling it.

sturdy mason
#

I just don't like fcking up

jade quartz
#

It’s all about that practice and muscle memory

leaden ginkgo
#

I boosted scholar, do I get summoner level 70 as well?

jade quartz
#

You’ll get it with time

#

Yeah @leaden ginkgo but you’ll still have to do the SMN job quests to unlock all your skills

#

And obtain gear yourself

leaden ginkgo
#

That's fine

timber fossil
#

and you don't get the gears that come with it

leaden ginkgo
#

I just wanted to make sure

#

I wanted to boost a job and I heard u get two basically for 70 if u get SCH or the other

#

Where do u get Summoner btw

dusk zenith
#

how much does having ff14 on a ssd effect load times?

viscid acorn
#

Do you become a summoner from arcanist?

jade quartz
#

Arcanist’s guild

#

Yeah

viscid acorn
#

ty

jade quartz
#

SSD does improve loadtimes noticeably

#

I don’t have one so I dunno what it’s like

timber fossil
#

@jade quartz what's your general average load time?

jade quartz
#

Uhhhhhhhhh

#

Depends

#

Like 5–8 seconds I guess?

#

I play on a laptop haha

timber fossil
#

i have an SSD and it's around 5 seconds for the most part.

#

i guess it kind of improves? lol

jade quartz
#

For some situations it’s up to like 10

#

Housing wards slightly longer sometimes

timber fossil
#

i've never taken more than 7 seconds or so.

#

i feel like SSD affects load time more on single player games

dusk zenith
#

it takes me about 20s to load on my hdd

#

o.o

timber fossil
#

online games also depends on your internet speed as well

dusk zenith
#

into luminisa

#

but other zoens are less

timber fossil
#

20 seconds is pretty significant lol, might check your internet speed lol i think even for HDD, it's way too long.

dusk zenith
#

i play on borderless mode

#

if that matters

Okay everyone, I got the complete edition on sale and I am stoked. I read the entire reddit post about servers but I am not sure if that is up to date anymore... Can anyone recommend a NA server for me? I will be playing White Mage so group content is important to me. I love healing dungeons in this game and WoW but I have never done a ton of raiding. More importantly than that, I want to find a friendly culture with a fun RP community.

timber fossil
#

@dusk zenith i also play on borderless mode. i don't think that matters.

jade quartz
#

@visual flame Crystal datacentre is the centre for RP. Within a datacentre you can visit between the different servers as much as you like.

timber fossil
#

doing raiding and dungeons can be cross server within the same data center btw

jade quartz
#

The only thing home world selection really matters for is your Free Company (player guild) and player-owned housing.

#

The two biggest RP servers on Crystal are Balmung and Mateus. Both are highly congested so they’re currently locked for new character creation

#

But you can visit them through the world visit system very easily.

visual flame
#

Gotcha, awesome. Thank you so much!

#

How's the culture between Coeurl and Brynhildr?

lofty comet
#

😦

timber fossil
#

@lofty comet what region are you in?

lofty comet
#

sweden

timber fossil
fervent bloom
#

is skill speed good for tanks? or tenacity better?

lofty comet
#

ooh did my browser change the url to se? xD

timber fossil
#

not sure what the url does xD, it didn't work for me either.

#

but that is where you download launcher

lofty comet
#

ok cus i clicked try now on the square enix game site hehe

#

but ty 🙂

timber fossil
#

@fervent bloom check The Balance for job specific optimization.

#

!balance

#

what is the command again

#

!thebalance

#

i can't do it lol

silk summit
#

So I was wondering, what does the item level sync that some dungeons have actually do? Gear is always scaled down anyway isn't?

timber fossil
#

@silk summit if i'm not wrong, ilvl sync dungeons sync further down to what your level's max ilvl can have.

#

other dungeons that don't specify ilvl sync will have you sync'd to the highest possible ilvl for that dungeon level.

#

anyone please correct me if i'm wrong. this is just what i believe is right lol

green grail
#

sounds about right

marble pivot
#

An ilvl sync is usually on lvl 50, 60, 70, or 80 dungeons where the max ilvl is often WAY above the minimum. So for example, a lvl 50 dungeon that ilvl syncs to 90 is going to limit you more than one that syncs to ilvl 120

green grail
#

if you want to get super technical, ilvl sync lowers all amounts of stats above that ilvl's max mainstat/meld amount to it, so if you have a lvl 50 i90 sync but a lvl 60 i270 piece with crit/dh then it will be a lvl 50 piece with crit and dh maxed out for that ilvl, when an i90 crit/dh piece would have maxed crit and like, half that amount of dh

#

which is why for example stormblood ultimates don't require lvl 70 gear anymore, because for example for ucob with i345 sync, higher level pieces at i418 reach the stat cap with the lower stat, plus melds are disabled, so you end up with no melds but both stats on the item maxed out as high as the piece can get

fading hamlet
#

most important stats for WHM?

green grail
#

weapon damage >= mind > piety to comfort > crit > det (= dh for damage, det affects heals)

#

for leveling ilvl > all

river portal
#

What is the difference between the "Individual" and the "Shared" options on the macro menu? I initially thought that you could have a per-job macro list on individual and that shared would be for all jobs but that isn't the case

jade quartz
#

Individual macros are saved client-side

keen rivet
#

How does one go about fast farming the warrior mounts?

jade quartz
#

Shared macros are saved server-side

#

It doesn’t matter unless you play in multiple platforms or like

#

Switch PCs

river portal
#

That's.. kind of silly

obsidian patio
#

Garuda Extreme/T4 for the unarmoured versions. I think Lakshmi EX or O1S for the other set of tank mounts

jade quartz
#

(Though in the latter case you should be able to transfer some configuration files over I think)

keen rivet
#

@obsidian patio what's T4?

jade quartz
#

Originally there were just the 100 macro slots which were shared Darky

obsidian patio
#

The 4th instance of the binding coil of bahamut

rugged crypt
#

Can you no longer put pet skills on your hot bar?

jade quartz
#

Then people wanted more slots to save macros in so they added the individual ones

rugged crypt
#

I'm trying to put gust gouge and down burst on the hot bar and it isn't working

keen rivet
#

Ahh, gotcha

obsidian patio
#

The attack skills are done with Egi Assault now

jade quartz
#

Didn’t want to add more shared slots because that’s server load

rugged crypt
#

Oh so there's less micro managing?

river portal
#

Wouldn't it make way more sense to just have a per job macro option the same way you can choose to have shared or job specific hotbars?

jade quartz
#

There’s pretty much the same level of micromanaging, i.e. not much at all.

river portal
#

that's just a little redundant in my opinion since 90% of the time you wouldn't be hopping different PCs or platforms to play 1 game

jade quartz
#

@river portal server load is the reason as I said

obsidian patio
#

Different characters too

#

Individual is also character specific

jade quartz
#

Yeah

river portal
#

I want to argue on different characters but I know people just do do that, which is wild to me. I love this game but fuck re-doing story to geta new character up to speed

#

I digress I guess I'm jut mildly annoyed/inconvenienced

jade quartz
#

Don’t see how it’s an inconvenience

#

You’ve got 200 slots

keen rivet
#

Since Garuda Extreme works for farming the tank mount, safe to assume that Ifrit Ex also works?

jade quartz
#

Which is frankly way more than anyone will ever need

#

It does @keen rivet

keen rivet
#

Cool, thanks!

obsidian patio
#

Garuda is generally faster since Ifrit has to do his ultimate 2-3 times

keen rivet
#

Yeah, definitely, but managed to finish Ifrit in 10seconds, so there's that haha

What is the whisper/tell syntax to message someone in a different world?

#

/tell First Last@Gilgamesh message doesn't work

jade quartz
#

They may be offline or in a duty

#

Cause that’s the right command

sturdy mason
jade quartz

👀

#

You’re in crystal

sturdy mason
#

Gilgamesh is on Crystal right?

jade quartz
#

No

#

Aether

thank god we're not

sturdy mason

Well dammit

#

How did you know I was in Crystal @jade quartz

jade quartz
#

Your discord role

sturdy mason
#

Oh

wintry chasm
#

Ayyy

sturdy mason
#

So can't message people across data centers I guess

wintry chasm
#

Correct

jade quartz
#

Nope

wintry chasm
#

You can't do anything with people across data centers

languid kernel
#

is there a way to blacklist some instances from the duty roulette? Like I don't want the ifrit fight

jade quartz
#

No

languid kernel
#

alright thanks

jade quartz
#

Would rather defeat the purpose

#

Also getting Ifrit in leveling roulette is nice

#

Means you’re done incredibly speedily.

languid kernel
#

but its not good for farming xp

jade quartz
#

It is

#

You’re getting the bonus.

#

To be clear, you should only run leveling roulette once a day

#

Not farm it

languid kernel
#

then how should i level alt jobs?

junior yacht
#

the bonus for ifrit specifically is smaller than other duties
so it is a bit of a letdown/feels like a "waste" of a daily

jade quartz
#

Highest level dungeon.

junior yacht
#

and patience

languid kernel
#

guess the only problem is if I queue the highest thing the wait times are really long

jade quartz
#

Palace of the Dead if you’re suffering from long queue times as a dps.

jolly needle
#

i have a big issue here, i'm EU but play on a NA server because they're supposed to have the biggest player base in the game, but because of the time schedule i found NA pretty empty for me when i'm on so i wanna transfer to an EU server. Anyone know which EU server is the most populated/active?

junior yacht
#

as i understand it both EU dc's are roughly equal

open coral
#

There are a couple of ways to level alt jobs. My personal strategy is to sit in a city for two weeks to make sure my rested xp is capped, then do daily roulettes only until 71. After that, I’ll do mostly pixie beast tribe quests (~1/4 level per day), hunts if I feel like it, and either specific queue or Trust level 75 and 79 dungeons when those are my highest level available

#

It’s not fast, but it gets a job leveled in about 3 weeks give or take a bit

jolly needle
#

is there any way of knowing for sure what the most populated is? i really dont wanna transfer to a dead server by mistake lol @junior yacht

languid kernel
#

servers dont matter

#

its just data center

languid kernel
#

i made my char on famfrit, a 'preferred world' and there are tons of people

shell dagger
jolly needle
#

cant i like, change characters from one server to another according to my needs/preferences? or is it limited? @languid kernel

open coral
#

You can world visit servers within your datacenter at will

#

The only things that are really affected by server are free companies and selling things on the market board

#

Matchmaking draws from your entire datacenter

jolly needle
#

ohh..by datacenter you mean all of NA or EU servers?

lyric schooner
#

yes

jolly needle
#

oh ok

lyric schooner
#

i think its a data center for each region but correct me, but thats the general idea

open coral
#

No. There are three NA datacenters and two EU

lyric schooner
#

^

#

yeah

open coral
#

And three JP

#

Oh, wait, they added an EU datacenter for ShB, so there’s three of those as well

#

Each datacenter has about eight servers in it

jade quartz
#

@jolly needle seriously, I can’t emphasise enough how much you like

#

Shouldn’t worry at all

lyric schooner
#

yea dont overthink it, just pick a preferred sever and be done with it

jolly needle
#

ye i know, i just like lots of human being when i play MMo's xD

lyric schooner
#

most of the servers will be "dead" until you reach limsa anyway

jade quartz
#

We’ve explained now how server populations are balanced and fluctuate

warped nest
#

There are 3 EU?

lyric schooner
#

thats what i experienced

open coral
#

So for example, Cactuar is on the NA Aether datacenter, but Excalibur is on the NA Primal datacenter. Characters on those two servers cannot interact with each other in any way

jade quartz
#

There’s no one server to pick or avoid.

warped nest
#

I thought EU has Light and Chaos

jade quartz
#

There are 2 EU DCs.

jolly needle
#

EU only has light and chaos yes

open coral
#

I thought there was a third

warped nest
#

There wasn't a EU for a while

jade quartz
#

You will have mostly the same experience no matter which one you pick

open coral
#

Maybe I was hallucinating

jade quartz
#

So just

warped nest
#

Then they added one

jade quartz
#

Go ahead and roll

jolly needle
#

nope..NA has 3 and Japan has 4/5 i think

warped nest
#

Then in ShB, they added another

jade quartz
#

Japan has 3.

jolly needle
#

nvm, yes, japan has 3

warped nest
#

Elemental, Gaia, and I-don't-remember

#

Iirc

open coral
#

Mana

#

Is the third JP

#

But yeah. Pick a datacenter that matches your play availability.

#

Pick a preferred server on that datacenter and call it a day

warped nest
#

/\

#

Don't over think it

open coral
#

I think both of the EU datacenters are more or less GMT

#

For active playtimes

jolly needle
#

ye, ive picked Cerberus on Chaos

#

btw, now that ive picked the server how do i transfer my character there? lol

open coral
#

Mogstation

#

I think it’s in the character services tab

jolly needle
#

ty 🙂

timber fossil
#

it's under "Additional Services" -> "Home World Transfer Service"

open coral
#

There you go

#

I’m the type that just makes a whole new character when I want to switch datacenters

timber fossil
#

make sure to really read through every word in there about the limitations on what can be brought over and what can't.

open coral
#

Because why not

timber fossil
#

i did it before

jolly needle
#

i mean, im just level 45 Pala but i dont wanna level up again lol

timber fossil
#

hmm.. i personally would level again if you're just lv45 lol

#

but it's up to you of course 😄

open coral
#

I have made new characters with multiple max level jobs on my existing character

jolly needle
#

i have like 1million gil..can i transfer that?

open coral
#

Once you know what you’re doing it goes pretty quick

timber fossil
#

yes

jolly needle
#

ye i took a while to lvl up xD

timber fossil
#

housing is gone, which i assume you don't have any.

jolly needle
#

nope, cant get a house..all of them are occupied

open coral
#

If he’s only 45 he doesn’t even have the rank to buy property

jolly needle
#

i need a rank as well?

#

how does that work?

open coral
#

With your grand company

jolly needle
#

oh

open coral
#

You need to be Second Lieutenant

jolly needle
#

i still have the lowest rank i think lol

timber fossil
#

just make sure to read the "Confirm Your Eligibility" part

jolly needle
#

ok

#

i didnt even finished the storyline for ARR lol

#

i need to fill a form to transfer my guy? why?

#

wait

#

i need to pay ?

timber fossil
#

it's just the mogstation thing

jade quartz
#

Yes

timber fossil
#

yes

jolly needle
#

ok im starting a new character then lol

timber fossil
#

unless you're transferring from congested to preferred.

jolly needle
#

thought it was free

timber fossil
#

congested to preferred is free, otherwise it's $18

jolly needle
#

thats more than my monthly sub so i think i'll just grind another character tbh

timber fossil
#

yeah, that's why we were slightly surprised you wanted to transfer your lv45 paladin lol

jolly needle
#

xD

#

i was totally clueless

#

regarding the pay wall

#

to transfer

#

lol

timber fossil
#

lol all good. good luck in your new server.

jolly needle
#

ty

stray saffron
#

it's so easy to catch back up to where you are tbh

#

especially with road to 70

shell dagger
#

Can you not travel via Aetheryte from Limsa Lominsa to Mist?

#

Tried yesterday and it wasn't on the menu popup... Thought maybe I didn't unlock it.

obsidian patio
#

With Teleport, yes

shell dagger
#

But not by the aetheryte plaza? :(

obsidian patio
#

Nope, those only go to mini aetherytes within that city

shell dagger
#

Sighhh 😭

timber fossil
#

i thought you can

#

click on "Visit Residential Area" or something like that isn't it?

jade quartz
#

Yes you can

shell dagger
#

So weird that in Gridania you can hop over to the Lavender Beds but in Limsa Lominsa, you can't?

jade quartz
#

You can.

shell dagger
#

Howwww

obsidian patio
#

You need to do the housing quest for each district

trim egret
#

If I buy an outfit from mogstation, does it just go over gear

jade quartz
#

But you must have completed the “Where the Heart Is” quest for Mist

trim egret
#

Or is it a glamour I have to put on like a one time use thing

obsidian patio
#

Limsa lominsa’s is in lower la noscea

#

They’re level 1 equipment

shell dagger
#

Ahhhhhhhhh FML I might have not done that

obsidian patio
#

Can use as much as you want

jade quartz
#

I think it begins in Red Rooster Stead, Lower La No.

timber fossil
#

@trim egret with glamour

trim egret
#

So you can glamour it onto other pieces as much as you want?

jade quartz
#

Glamour is not one time use

#

Yep

trim egret
#

And thats for all classes on that character yes?

jade quartz
#

Yep

gritty oracle
#

Basically you yeet it into the glam dresser and then use it in as many templates as you want

timber fossil
#

i personally would put it in the glamour dresser, but it's their choice.

trim egret
#

Thanks 🙂

#

I think Im going to buy the spooky ghost blanket lmao

#

I saw it in a cutscene and couldnt stop laughing

gritty oracle
#

also @trim egret just to be clear, if you wouldn't be able to equip a piece of gear (wrong class, level restrictions etc) then you can't glamour it on your character either. For example, if you put a Bard hat and a Red Mage jacket into a template, then depending on your class, only the hat, only the jacket, or nothing would show

wintry chasm
#

Oh wait this is the question channel

gritty oracle
#

👀

trim egret
#

Thanks again

#

So I'd have to glamour it for each class seperately

gritty oracle
#

yep

jade quartz
#

Well

rare sable
#

Some outfit, like that ghost, is lvl 1 all class

timber fossil
#

the stuff you buy on mogstation are all "All Class"

wintry chasm
#

^

#

You can put it on one glamour plate and use it for all classes

obsidian patio
#

AFAIK, The only glamour on the mogstation that isn’t level 1 is the Lightning/Snow FFXIII stuff

#

Which is like level 15-17

jolly needle
#

@stray saffron how do i "rush" to lvl 70?

fresh lodge
#

Is it your first class?

stray saffron
#

MSQ

jolly needle
#

My 1st one yes

#

MHQ?

#

S

fresh lodge
#

Main Story Quest msq

jolly needle
#

Oh

fresh lodge
#

You can't rush to 70 since everything is locked behind the MSQ

jolly needle
#

Hmm

#

I just wanna get to the endgame content tbh xD i mean, im really enjoying the story, but the quest system is absolutely boring

fresh lodge
#

Everything is locked behind the story

rare sable
#

It gets a lot better after arr

fresh lodge
#

So you have to do it one way or the other

jolly needle
#

Guess so

#

Btw guys, ive noticed that the queues for pvp are above 30min..is it unpopular? 1st time that i see such huge queues for pvp on a mmo

visual flame
#

If you do trial account and then transition, do you miss out on anything or is it 100% the same?

obsidian patio
#

You won’t lose anything

visual flame
#

I bought it but I may wait to link it to my account if there's no point

#

Ok cool

wintry chasm
#

Compared to the rest of the game? Yes @jolly needle

jolly needle
#

Oof

#

I literally gave up after 1h on queue the other day

rare sable
#

You can try queueing pvp right after reset

#

But other times, the queue is just too awful...

jolly needle
#

Its been awful since i got the game xD for dungeons or any other group activity that i have unlocked it takes 5/10min max, but pvp..damn, thats a different story

timber fossil
#

15-30 minutes queue is a normal life of a DPS btw.

rare sable
#

5-10 looks like tank/healer queue

jolly needle
#

Oh and ive tried a level 40 guildhest and the queue is horrible there as well..wonder why

timber fossil
#

he has a lv45 PLD

rare sable
#

Cause guidehest is... you do them for extra exp < lvl 30, then forget about it

#

Cause its not really worth at higher level

#

So yeah, dead queues

raven sage
#

No one does the guildhest unless they need to unlock mentor roulette

#

So the pool is way smaller

jolly needle
#

I think thats a lesson for doing raids, so i wanted to try that guildhest mission tbh

timber fossil
#

it's not lol

jade quartz
#

Guildhests don't really teach you anything.

#

They're kinda

#

pointless :S

jolly needle
#

Oh...thought it was cause it has 2 healers lol

#

Oh well

timber fossil
#

they're like the extreme tiny version of a dungeon run lol

jolly needle
#

I'll just skip that stuff then xD

#

Dungeons so far are pretty ez...its like a walk in a park

#

But well, i'm still low level so i dunno about higher level content

timber fossil
#

i always suggest new player to take it slow. end game is indeed fun, but rushing there can make you burned out.

jolly needle
#

I get what you're saying..

#

Got burned out of gw2 for rushing to many times to high level stuff lol

warped nest
#

guildhest Kinda sorta kinda taught something

#

if you paid attention to the text

#

but it is just so useless overall

jolly needle
#

But i dont have much patience to wait and grind all the boring stuff tbh lol my babe actually leveld up like 20 levels of my Paladin cause i got bored with questing

warped nest
#

plus you can just power through them

#

except for that one guildhest where you need to kill all adds at roughly the same time

#

which is a mechanic that never come out ever in the rest of the game

@jolly needle i guess you do have the ultimate weapon of story skip lol

jade quartz
#

Well

timber fossil
#

which i never recommend anyone

#

but, that's an option, just so you know.

jade quartz
#

There have been some kill-at-same-time double bosses I guess

jolly needle
#

Actually i dont skip the story cause im a ff fan since i was a little kid..but like, optional quests, which theres alot, yes i skip those

rare sable
#

sidequest is entirely skippable

jade quartz
#

A1S, Mog EX

timber fossil
#

or maybe start on the good part, only skip ARR

#

but you'd still have to level

jolly needle
#

Naaa, i wont skip the main storyline

#

Only the side quests lol

timber fossil
#

even better

#

definitely don't skip manderville quests

jolly needle
#

Im kinda enjoying the storyline tbh...in my opinion it had a slow start but bit by bit its getting my attention.

timber fossil
#

you'll have your stomach burst out laughing with the manderville quests. you can do them when you're lv50

jolly needle
#

Im at that part where i meet some guys that fought against Titan

timber fossil
#

it's a side quest

rare sable
#

Hildibrand is bluequest

limpid basalt
#

Yeah do blue quests (and the MSQ obviously), but feel free to skip the other side quests. You'll burn out if you tried to do it all lol

jolly needle
#

I kinda skip those purple plus quest as well lol

wintry chasm
#

You shouldn't

jolly needle
#

The only purple quest that i didnt skipped was the gladiator storyline

limpid basalt
#

Some of them don't give you much, but some of them have really good rewards. You could probably just pick and choose which ones to do, but most of them are worthwhile

jade quartz
#

Don't skip bluequest

jolly needle
#

Damb

wintry chasm
#

It's easier to do them all so you don't misss one

limpid basalt
#

^

wintry chasm
#

Optional dungeons, trials, raids

#

hair dresser, system things

#

etc etc

#

All bluequest

jade quartz
#

You don't have to do the ones which unlock other classes if you don't want to play those classes of course

#

but it's always obvious which ones those are.

wintry chasm
#

Or the leve bluequest which are only useful to do if you want to level crafting and gathering

jolly needle
#

I kinda wanted to try every class tbh..

timber fossil
#

"So you want to be....."

#

those are the class unlock

#

lol

#

i believe unlocking a job also gives you an extra inventory space?

#

armor inventory

vernal urchin
#

It gives you more gear set spaces

wintry chasm
#

^Which is not the same thing

timber fossil
#

ohh

#

those preset thing to swap gear?

jade quartz
#

Yes

#

it doesn't really matter

#

You will always have enough gear set slots

#
  • a bunch of extra.
#

Unlocking a new class or job adds a new slot

jolly needle
#

Btw, whats wrong with the housing really? I mean, still dont have enough rank, but saw alot of threads of players complaining about not being able to get housing ingame

jade quartz
#

but that doesn't really affect you in any way

#

because you didn't need an extra slot until you unlocked that class/job.

#

Housing is limited to a certain number of instanced neighbourhoods.

#

It's hard to find an opening

leaden ginkgo
#

Because housing is limited per server so on a heavily populated server you're going to find like nothing available

jade quartz
#

but it is not impossible.

#

On almost all servers it's possible to get a house

#

just takes a lot of effort/time investment and some luck.

jolly needle
#

On Gilmanesh (or wtv its called) theres not a single house avaiable lol

jade quartz
#

Yeah

limpid basalt
#

There are people who buy multiple lots using alts, which can dry up supply quickly. They added some more housing recently though and on lower pop servers no one is forced to buy an apt if they want a small plot

jade quartz
#

Gilgamesh is one of the few servers that is still significantly more populated than the rest

leaden ginkgo
#

Plus if a plot were to be rescinded, there's an invisible timer so that no one can buy it immediately so you even have to camp for the plot if it DOES become available, which is it's own clusterfuck

jade quartz
#

Yep

#

That's the shitty part

jolly needle
#

Oof

#

I mean..i like the Inn lol

#

Its small and cozy lol

vernal urchin
#

You can always spring for an apartment

leaden ginkgo
#

Apartments are basically one room houses and they're a dime a dozen, but on the most famous servers, like Balmung I've witnessed, it's not terribly easy to just go to a place with one and buy it, but any other server apartments are a dime a dozen

jolly needle
#

Guess that by the time i find a house ill be bloody rich xD

leaden ginkgo
#

The downsides to apartments tho is there aren't any outward appearances you can change, it's limited to one room and you can't do cross-breeding with gardening

limpid basalt
#

Honestly player housing is mostly just a gil-sink / cosmetic addition. Plots make more sense as FC goals than individual imo

rare sable
#

Mmmh crafting facilties, buff stand, and garden for chocobo food

trim egret
#

Should I be saving silver chocobo feathers for anything?

rare sable
#

Not really

jade quartz
#

use em on ironworks or shire or scaevan gear

leaden ginkgo
#

A mount would be better since they can't be obtained through other means if I'm correct

jade quartz
#

No mounts for silver feathers

#

those are from gold feathers.

leaden ginkgo
#

I must be thinking of the invite a friend reward and not the feathers that come with that, I've never used it so

trim egret
#

Thats what I mean, really nothing to save up for right

#

Like I can buy level 70 pieces now, should I/

#

I?

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean if there's any other reward that looks moderately appealing go for it, that gear can be bought with endgame currency and poetics are a dime a dozen

trim egret
#

Is there other stuff you can buy that isnt gear?

timber fossil
#

some people buy unidentifiable ore to exchange to thanalan soil 3, either to use for their gardening or sell on marketboard for gil.

rare sable
#

^ me
Also glowy weapon craft mats

frail spade
#

Do I need to own ShB to play GNB and DNC?

fresh lodge
#

Yes

frail spade
#

100% sure?

raven sage
#

yes

frail spade
#

okay because I have both unlocked and equipped right now but the mogstation tells me I do not own Shb

fresh lodge
#

Did you swap platforms or play during Early Access?

frail spade
#

nope. Neither

fresh lodge
#

You can do the unlock quest even if you don't own ShB?

frail spade
#

it would appear so but everywhere I check it says otherwise

raven sage
#

You shouldn't be able to

uneven terrace
#

Coming from wow tanking, is there any fights where tank dps matters in terms of threat? Or is it all about just pushing as much dps as you can to avoid engage timers?

fresh lodge
#

All that matters is pushing damage now

junior yacht
#

maintaining threat is not really a problem

uneven terrace
#

Gotcha

fresh lodge
#

Aggro is easy to manage in Tank Stance

uneven terrace
#

How does that work with tank swap fights?

#

Just toggle provoke?

junior yacht
#

turn off your stance after the swap

uneven terrace
#

Only 52 right now btw

junior yacht
#

turn it back on when you swap back in

#

ezpz

uneven terrace
#

Theres no danger of building too much of a threat lead?

#

Just trying to figure out mechanica

raw solstice
#

provoke always gives the user top aggro + a bit on top

frail spade
#

I thought I had bought it 😐 but for reasons I had to stop playing just a little after ShB release.
All I know is I unlocked the new classes, played a bit with the changes to other classes, then dropped the sub.

uneven terrace
#

Ah ok cool

#

Like classic wow

raw solstice
#

no idea about wow so I can't speak to that

uneven terrace
#

It's how taunt works there

#

I'm liking tanking here just want to get to know the nuances. It's fun as hell

raw solstice
#

@frail spade double check mogstation? My BF came back to play the game recently after not playing a long while, to play a bit, and couldn't unlock DNC until he got shb

frail spade
#

double checking everywhere. Even the game only shows me SB's main menu, and my jobs that were 70 are still locked at 70

raw solstice
#

for this table, you don't have any circles where it says shadowbringers on any platform? Just making sure

Your pre-order/early access license expired

Yeah, you unlocked it during Early Access

Are beast tribe quests a decent source if level 60-ish xp?

leaden ginkgo
#

yea

serene lodge
#

Is summoner good dps? I’m level 60 and feel kinda underpowered

leaden ginkgo
#

They should be, yez

fresh lodge
#

They're one of the strongest dps atm

untold ermine
#

A Dancer uses MP for....what, exactly?

fresh lodge
#

They don't

leaden ginkgo
#

Btw can any official gm answer this preferably? I have an ex-friend that keeps harassing me and stalking me through the friendlist, but i cant get him to remove my name from his friend list. What can i do?

fresh lodge
#

There are no official GMs on this server

leaden ginkgo
#

Any recommendations then?

fresh lodge
#

You have to contact the GMs in game

leaden ginkgo
#

But is there a way to fix it without bringing GMs into the problem?

#

Egads, there's split data centres now? I've been gone forever. Which data centre has servers with bonuses, since I'm just starting up again?

fresh lodge
#

What region?

leaden ginkgo
#

NA

fresh lodge
#

If you're being harassed then go straight to a GM @leaden ginkgo

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok thanks Meara!

fresh lodge
#

Primal and Crystal are the data centres with preferred worlds

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanksss 😁

long pier
#

anyone know if you can get prievious pvp season gear somehow?

fresh lodge
#

Like the ranked gear?

leaden ginkgo
#

How can one aquire the Antiquated Brionac lancer weapon? Google says you can exchange tomestones with Hismenia in Idyllshire but she doesn’t have that weapon in her inventory?

hushed girder
#

For the Anima quest the part of Building Aetheric Density does that mean any of the dungeon under Duty tab from ARR and Heavensward?

jade quartz
#

@frank chasm Just one exterior wall item is required.

wintry chasm
#

@leaden ginkgo buy it with centurio hunt seals in Ishgard bar by talking to the old man there

jade quartz
#

@hushed girder yes, any Heavensward duty or even FATEs work. However, the go-to method nowadays is to repeatedly spam A9S with an unsynced party.

hushed girder
#

which one is that?

fast pond
#

what is the fastest way to level a second job?

hushed girder
#

I don't know much of the Terms

leaden ginkgo
#

@wintry chasm also how can I aquire the weapon Nidhogg?

wintry chasm
#

!faq altlvlguide

jade quartz
#

Alexander: the Eyes of the Creator (Savage)

#

There is no weapon Nidhogg

wintry chasm
#

^

#

That you can get

leaden ginkgo
#

That one guy in the story had it

#

It was the Gael Bog but in red

jade quartz
#

If you’re talking about the spear that ||Estinien uses and calls Nidhogg||, it’s unique to him

leaden ginkgo
#

@jade quartz My life is over, I wanted that weapon so bad

wintry chasm
#

But it's somewhat based on the level 50 spear

#

Somewhat

hushed girder
#

@jade quartz I can't seem to find it

leaden ginkgo
#

Which one?

jade quartz
#

Gae Bolg

wintry chasm
#

I do stress somewhat

leaden ginkgo
#

Ooh that’s what I currently use as glamour

#

Working on the book of skyfire for it

jade quartz
#

@hushed girder you must first have completed the Alexander normal-mode raid series through all twelve fights, then speak with the Wandering Minstrel in Revenant’s Toll to unlock savage.

hushed girder
#

so they are raids?

leaden ginkgo
#

I can’t figure out where Ishgard bar is

whole wasp
#

Its near the forgotten knight aethernet

fresh lodge
#

Its up the stairs and to the right of the main Aetherryte

wintry chasm
#

^ sure

#

aka go to the Congregation of our Knights Most Heavenly and then go dead south from there haha

dry glade
#

do all the bicolor gemtraders sell the same inventory?

whole wasp
#

Nope.

jade quartz
#

Different per zone

leaden ginkgo
#

I think I found it thxs!

whole wasp
#

The riding maps alone are different but they sell different mob mats too.

jade quartz
#

That’s why you want to rank all the zones up for all the unique items

dry glade
#

oof, so I have to rank up each zone, they don't all rank up together? Thank you.

jade quartz
#

Plus getting all zones to rank 3 shared FATEs unlocks additional bicolour gemstone vendors in the Crystarium and Eulmore.

#

Yeah, 66 FATEs in each zone in total

dry glade
#

where is my rank? I thought it was just based on stones posessed.

jade quartz
#

Travel -> Shared FATE

sinful nacelle
#

Can you do PoTd from 60-61?

jade quartz
#

Yes you can

dry glade
#

thank you

sinful nacelle
#

many thanks

dry glade
#

ahh, there's my ranks. Thanks again.

long pier
#

yes the ranked gear by the way

#

like i really want the hellbound helm

#

but only recently started playingf

leaden ginkgo
#

Quick question when does the new adventurer icon go away from ones name?

light widget
#

/nastatus off

obsidian patio
#

It goes away naturally after starting shadowbringers story and 168 hours of playtime, IIRC

Hi! I played Shadowbringers on release, and my old main (Summoner) felt kinda awkward with the changes. There was a specific portion of the rotation where you had tor refresh your dots, just to overwrite them 10 or so seconds later. I know a lot of people voiced their complaints about this and I want to know if Squenix has addressed it yet?

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey guys, im gonna start playing today, looking for friends 🙂

warped nest
#

It is just one manual refresh

leaden ginkgo
#

they fixed it yeah

#

took out festerruin and knocked 5 seconds off trance cds

icy crypt
#

so it flows more like it did in Stormblood then?

#

because the weird janky refresh to be re-refreshed by tri shortly after killed the class for me

leaden ginkgo
#

That part is gone for sure

icy crypt
#

♥️

#

that's great news

leaden ginkgo
#

Odd curiosity

#

Was Bloodsworn a reputation rank added later on, during HW?

fresh lodge
#

No

#

You're thinking of Allied

leaden ginkgo
#

The reason i ask, as i been doing them

#

During every rank up, you get leeway to do a +3

#

But for some reason, once you hit Sworn, you do not get the +3 dailies

#

And considering how there is still one more rank to get, it felt a bit odd

fresh lodge
#

Thats just how its always worked

leaden ginkgo
#

Odd the pause then. But alas, just a small nitpick
