Mythril Tempest looks cool as fuck

little swift
untold ermine
#

eh. forgot whatt channel i was iin

lost sinew
#

can you still q as one job, the go as another to frontlines, but get xp on the first?

little swift
#

yes

#

you can

lost sinew
#

yay

little swift
#

exp goes to whatever you queue in as not what you play fro the match

lost sinew
#

is any healer particularly better for a newb to pvp?

#

like how sch cheats with fairy >.>

untold ermine
#

so the WAR AoE is basically Overpower -> Mythril Tempest, and then Decimate with Beast Gauge. nothing else?

obsidian patio
#

Pretty much, though you do want to fit in a Storm’s Eye combo early on to get the damage buff if it fell off.

#

I usually do it after the first/second combo

untold ermine
#

i'm just setting up my bars, but my experience is with Dark Knight, which has 4 aoe skills besides quietus,

obsidian patio
#

I don’t really count abyssal drain as an AoE skill if you are. Pretty sure you just press it whenever it’s off cooldown

untold ermine
#

so what does WAR use to deal with tankbusters, Vengeance? or the self-healing?

#

TBN is a crutch. a completely awesome, tricked-out crutch, but a crutch nonetheless.

obsidian patio
#

Rampart, Vengeance, thrill of battle, Raw Intuition(though there’s math that usually makes Nascent Flash better)

#

Holmgang for the really big ones

untold ermine
#

oh, thrill of battle gives temporary HP

obsidian patio
#

Also Reprisal can generally be used for every tank buster

#

Since it’s a minute recast

untold ermine
#

true. i gguess I'm just too used to TBN ALWAYS being available lol

sinful breach
#

anyone having problems with discord overlays with the game? works fine for other games but refuses to work with xiv

gritty oracle
#

How can I /micon emote icons into macros?

languid kernel
#

is there anything i can do with tomestone gear that i no longer need? like can i trade my shire greatsword back for the tokens?

stray saffron
#

trade it in for GC seals if you're high enough rank

languid kernel
#

doesnt seem like its worth it, is there anything good to buy with the seals? im second lieutenant

stray saffron
#

glam prisms, cordials, manuals, ventures, aetheryte tickets, dark matter, crafting mats to sell

#

all better than vendoring

raw solstice
#

@gritty oracle /micon "emote name" emote

gritty oracle
#

Ah, thanks!

keen rivet
#

For the moogle event, is only the 100 tomestone item limited? The other items can be acquired through other means?

twilit arch
#

the mastery fireworks are also event specific

keen rivet
#

So 2 items

#

The fireworks and the 100 tomestones reward are pretty much limited time?

obsidian patio
#

The fireworks seem to be a recurring item for each of the tomestone events so kinda not those

#

But the choker is definitely limited time going by the first two events and their 100-token items

#

Which haven’t been seen outside of their event

dusk zenith
#

wat is the fastest way to gain venture seals around lvl 60 with only heavensward content?

#

havent gotten to the other expansinos yet

obsidian patio
#

Buy them with grand company seals

lost sinew
#

any tips on targeting in pvp on controller? seems like a nightmare of ā€œyeah that person is targeted but too far away to heal/attackā€

crystal bluff
#

What moogle event?

lost sinew
#

moogles are selling rare stuff for currency you get from duties

#

specific duties

crystal bluff
#

Ooh

#

I just looked it up
I dont think I have any of those tomes
Feelsbadman

raven sage
#

it just started today

crystal bluff
#

Oh I misread it then
I assumed you exchanged tomes that you could already get and spend on other stuff

obsidian patio
#

Nah these are different items using the names of previous tomestones

#

Philosophy/Mythology/Soldiery were tomestones for A Realm Reborn

#

Poetics too, but that one became the generic tomestone for non-80 sets

crystal bluff
#

I see

#

Wait
Is this a god damn battle royale

obsidian patio
#

The new PVP frontline?

crystal bluff
#

The rival wings "hidden gorge" thing

obsidian patio
#

More of a MOBA than a battle royale

crystal bluff
#

Ah

keen rivet
#

I see gotcha

#

But probably unlocking certain things with tomestomes probably less tedious than doing the actual way, huh?

obsidian patio
#

For sure

#

Like that spotted fedora and suit, those come from a super fate in the dravanian forelands

#

It’s a 3-parter but the tokens to exchange for them only come from the 2nd and 3rd fate, IIRC

#

and each part has like a day or so between them

scarlet arrow
#

the ARR riding maps normally need allied seals IIRC

obsidian patio
#

Yeah, those can be annoying to grind for since they only come from blue mage stuff and ARR hunts

leaden ginkgo
#

Suit then riding maps

obsidian patio
#

The orchestrion rolls that cost 50, besides Answers, also are annoying to get since they come from Aquapolis, the level 60 treasure map instance

keen rivet
#

Gotcha! Just wondering what I should prioritize if I end up farming a bit

tough solstice
#

How do you unlock 2B stuff?

keen rivet
#

Nier raid, which you can unlock after beating shadowbringers

sleek pagoda
#

if i go solo a low level dungeon will i get the drops from mobs or nah

stray saffron
#

I think so

obsidian patio
#

No.

twilit arch
#

No, the only thing you will get from unsync is the chest drops

stray saffron
#

is it mob drops the ones that are disabled when unsync?

obsidian patio
#

Yep

tawny canopy
#

The Aetherochemical Research Facility gives a good amount

#

yes

#

if you get a good group

sharp tapir
#

random question

#

from heavy swing to maim

#

I get a yellow border on skills

#

and after maim I get a yellow border for Storm's Path

#

but now, for some reason, I don't get it anymore

sturdy canyon
#

Because Storm’s path is the end of the combo chain

#

The yellow border is showing you the next available options for a combo

sharp tapir
#

yeah

#

so after maim

#

it should show right

#

heavy swing into maim into Storm's Path

tawny canopy
#

it should light up if you did it right

sharp tapir
#

it did when i first got the skill

little swift
#

are you synced into a lower level instance than being able to use it?

sharp tapir
#

lemme try on a dummy again

#

@little swift oh wow

#

that might be the case

#

lemme see though

little swift
#

if you're trying on a dummy maybe the dummy is in range of a fate

#

?

#

idk

sharp tapir
#

naw was just doing quests

#

when I noticed it didn't work anymore

tawny canopy
#

you prob got level synced then

sharp tapir
#

yeah that might be the case

#

thanks y'all

#

I can still do the move though

#

hmm

#

maybe I'm trippin

tawny canopy
#

you can do storm's path by itself yes

#

but you don't get the combo bonus if you do that

sharp tapir
#

I see

#

thought it would lock you out of the move totally if you level sync

tawny canopy
#

depends on what level the sync is

little swift
#

/\

indigo orbit
#

The only abilities that ignore level sync are role actions

sharp tapir
#

gotcha

#

yeah lookin at the journal

#

it was a level 20 ting

#

and the skill is level

#

26

#

makes sense

indigo orbit
#

So you'd have it in like... Thousand Maws of Toto-rak onward since that syncs at 27

sharp tapir
#

I assume that's another questline

#

thanks

indigo orbit
#

It's the name of the like... fourth main story dungeon and probably also one of the worst

sharp tapir
#

lol I see

crude relic
#

As a RDM should I wait till level 80 to try soloing all the HW Ex Trials? Or should the early 70s with dungeon gear from ShB be enough?

tawny canopy
#

70-75 might be iffy

#

80 is no prob

#

for a few

#

oh HW ex's?

#

hmmm

#

i'd have to say now

#

no

#

i've soloed ravana ex

#

but bismark and thordan you need to separate adds

#

niddhogg i don't think so

twilit arch
#

you can do bismark solo

tawny canopy
#

you'd need to burst down one of the snakes like ASAP

#

before they can tether

twilit arch
#

yes

crude relic
#

So it's not like Garuda with Suparna and the other cone where you can kill the adds as they spawn so they don't get invuln?

obsidian patio
#

Anything past Ravana/Bismarck will probably do too much damage for you to do

indigo orbit
#

yeah

#

I tried to solo Thordan ex and couldn't keep up with the damage

#

as RDM

tawny canopy
#

probably only tanks can do it

twilit arch
#

i think for now, atleast, the tanks are pretty much the only ones that can do thordan +

indigo orbit
#

ARR extremes are ezpz

#

haven't tried ravana or bismarck yet

crude relic
#

Mmk, so level my DRK to 80 and then get all the Birbs from HW?

indigo orbit
#

I'd do PLD

#

for Clemency

twilit arch
#

pld is probably going to be the safest

crude relic
#

Eh, I know DRK like the back of my hand. Don't really wanna learn what all the PLD buttons do xD

stray saffron
#

bismarck is a pain in the ass because of the adds

#

there will be things you can't do on dark knight

#

without the on-demand healing

tawny canopy
#

prob is LD you need to be healed

#

Hallowed ground is freebie lol

stray saffron
#

if you want to do the bleeding-edge solos like the later HW extremes, pld is pretty much it for now

twilit arch
#

hallowed doesn't require you to be healed, you have on demand healing that's quite strong

#

all in all, pld is the much safer choice

indigo orbit
#

how does GNB manage

twilit arch
#

you can try drk but there's likely going to be some that you're not going to be able to do

tawny canopy
#

it can't keep up with self healing

indigo orbit
#

come to think of it their self healing is only slightly better than like

#

DRK

crude relic
#

So I recently saw someone on a Fenrir mount....how get? xD

tawny canopy
#

1 million MGP points from gold saucer

crude relic
#

Damn

tawny canopy
#

you can get that if you do challenge logs weekly

#

plus fashion check

modest drift
#

if i wanted to constantly change from dnc to mch do i have to change the materia every time?

tawny canopy
#

you could have two sets of gear

#

but you'd have to constantly switch

near depot
#

I know I was supposed to switch out of my augmented shire gear at 65 but i dont know how to find the dungeons where I can get higher gear and im stuck at ilvl 270 at lvl 67. Do I just keep doing MSQs or is there a sidequest that im supposed to do to unlock the dungeons?

tawny canopy
#

and that would be annoying

modest drift
#

so you'd have to like stash one set and then go back and forth, right?

tawny canopy
#

yes

novel bluff
#

I’m having trouble finding the serpent quest in rak’tika

tawny canopy
#

@near depot where are you in the msq

near depot
#

Stormblood, The Last Voyage.

tawny canopy
#

that's only level 62

#

keep doing msq then

#

you'll be fine in aug shire until you get to the level 65 dungeon

crystal bluff
#

so how do i participate in this moogle event?

tawny canopy
#

you just run the stuff that gives you tomes

#

make sure it's synced and you don't join in progress

crystal bluff
#

ah i found it in the duty finder

#

praetorium gives me the most but its also the longest

tawny canopy
#

there'll be a little mog tome icon

near depot
#

What do you get out of the event?

crystal bluff
#

you can buy mounts i think

twilit arch
#

if you hover over the icons, it lists the items descrption

gritty oracle
#

What does a Garlean's third eye do?

twilit arch
#

it supposedly gives them enhanced spatial perception

#

outside of that, we don't know anything more

gritty oracle
#

Thanks!

crystal bluff
#

what do all the riding maps on that list do?

obsidian patio
#

Increase your mount speed for that zone

crystal bluff
#

i thought you got those through the story anyways

twilit arch
#

you get the first tier

#

the riding maps are for 2nd tier

crystal bluff
#

ohh

tawny canopy
#

it's really only good for getting to hunts fast

#

in ARR zones

#

since you fly everywhere else

obsidian patio
#

Beast tribe dailies too if you need the tokens for anima weapons

tawny canopy
#

the riding maps don't increase flying speed

#

that's already max

obsidian patio
#

Or crafting materia in terms of the ixal

crystal bluff
#

i dont think im anywhere close to flying mounts story wise lol

wintry chasm
#

Flying isn't strictly from main story

#

once you get far enough in main story in each area you get an aether current that goes towards flying in that area but you also have to do the bluequest that give them and find a bunch in the area. The only exception being the area ||Azys Ila|| which is all main story

slate arrow
#

Basically there's 3-5 bluequest currents, 1 msq current, and usually 10 or so exploration currents

#

It's the same number per zone most of the time

#

Azys Ila being the exception

rich bay
#

@crystal bluff

For the Spotted gear you can also try to catch Coeurlregina (as WB fate) in The Dravanian Forlands, but she is pretty elusive these days.

crystal bluff
#

i didnt even know you could catch things

rich bay
#

It is a World Boss fate, so you get tokens to trade.
And yes, the Spotted glamour is from those tokens.

crystal bluff
#

ah

sturdy mason
#

These crafting turn ins are getting frustrating. I have to craft a Holy Cedar Armillae (CRP) and on the craft page for it, it says recommended craftsmanship is 519. I'm at 244. To upgrade my gear, I'd like to craft it, but that means I need to level my other jobs. GC turn ins are supposed to help me level. So it seems like a catch 22

#

I'm getting high enough in DoH/DoL levels (~50) that I can't afford to spend 100-200k on MB for upgrades

raven sage
#

If you can get to 50 your GC will have a set of gear

#

I don't know if it's the solution to your problem but it might be a start

crystal bluff
#

mfw
i found gloves that were like 3x stronger than my augmented ironworks ones and they only cost like 1.5k

#

oh
the entire set is way better and super cheap

#

hell yeah

jade quartz
#

What set is this?

crystal bluff
#

sky rat

jade quartz
#

Oh well yeah that’s gonna be better

#

It’s level 60

crystal bluff
#

i didnt think the difference would be so big for only 10 levels lol

jade quartz
#

That’s two level caps man

crystal bluff
#

oh

jade quartz
#

A whole expansion of difference

#

ARR cap was 50, Heavensward cap was 60.

crystal bluff
#

oh theres no waist item

jade quartz
#

If you’ve completed the base Heavensward MSQ, you should buy augmented Shire gear with poetics in Idyllshire.

crystal bluff
#

im not even done ARR yet lol
i think im halfway through the 2nd big arc

jade quartz
#

Oh yikes

crystal bluff
#

lol

#

yeah i went from 129 to 203 of those star things

#

what should i do with the ironworks gear now? just trash it?

fresh lodge
#

Unless you have better gear,just keep it

#

Might worth chucking it in a retainer for alts later on

crystal bluff
#

alright

#

not like im short on equip space

indigo orbit
#

When you start playing multiple jobs you will be

slim zenith
#

True story

upbeat storm
#

I dont understand why there isnt more QoL stuff in the mog station

obsidian patio
#

Honestly the only spots tight on space are weapons and rings

upbeat storm
#

Give me the option to buy more space

indigo orbit
#

You can buy another retainer šŸ™ƒ

obsidian patio
#

Retainers are more inventory

upbeat storm
#

Yeah but that's location limites

#

Also a subscription

indigo orbit
#

I just level classes in waves that all use the same gear types

upbeat storm
#

Does the mogstation cycle items out for seasonal stuff? Because it's really lacking for a game that's been out for 6 years

fresh lodge
#

No items have been removed from the mogstation yet

#

And the seasonal stuff is just old event items

crude relic
#

So right now on my RDM I'm getting two levels per 4 roulettes done. If I go to my level 50 SAM will that amount of levels increase or will it stay the same? I can only do Trials, Leveling, MSQ, and Level50/60/70 roulettes atm.

warped nest
#

The increase in level should be around the same ballpark

crude relic
#

Mmk, I'm guessing for SAM leveling Roulettes and then high floor PotD would be my best bet until I can go from PotD to HoH and Roulettes?

ebon sphinx
#

I've got a friend who bought FFXIV to come play with me but sadly I'm on a congested world. Anyone know if there's a good time when the world is generally open for new chars/transfers?

#

or a way to figure that out other than randomly checking?

somber knoll
#

Try making the char during off peak times?

jade quartz
#

Congested worlds cannot be transferred to until such time as SE lifts the congested status

#

World congestion/preferred statuses are updated with patches.

#

The time of day will have no effect.

slim zenith
#

However, you can transfer off the congested world for free.

sturdy mason
somber knoll
#

Oh figures

jade quartz
#

You can throw all of those away probably.

obsidian patio
#

Pretty much yes, void

jade quartz
#

What's the blue sand one?

#

Oh probably sands of time

somber knoll
#

Sands of time

fresh lodge
#

Yeah

jade quartz
#

yeah they're all šŸ’¤

ebon sphinx
#

I run an FC so that's not an option sadly. I'll just have to hope i guess :/

fresh lodge
#

All of it is pretty much junk

sturdy mason
#

I think this is all garbage dropped in my inventory from doing roulettes

jade quartz
#

Your friend can join the same datacentre and world visit you though

fresh lodge
#

Though the Protean crystals are somewhat useful in Eureka

jade quartz
#

You'll be able to do most things that way but they won't be able to join your FC.

somber knoll
#

Precision items from alexander raids can be used for anima weapon iirc

#

To exchange for one of the mats

ebon sphinx
#

Yeah, the lack of them joining the FC is kinda a huge problem for us shug but thanks

fresh lodge
#

Its 4 per unid iirc

jade quartz
#

One or two of them aren't useful though.

ebon sphinx
#

just pray to the 12 that it gets i lifted somehow xD

jade quartz
#

And not worth keeping in your inventory for an age just for that purpose if you aren't doing it right now.

somber knoll
#

Yeah

slim zenith
#

r@ebon sphinx Just have them join the same data center, then they can at least visit your congested world.

somber knoll
#

Is it possible for 2nd boss of Stone Vigil Hard to be unsync solo'd? Tried with a level 70 and failed.

sturdy mason
#

any reason to keep the Early Antiquity items if my ilvl is 458?

somber knoll
#

The turtle dragon with cannons mechanic

obsidian patio
#

To turn in for GC seals or desynth when you’re able to

#

Which is probably 5.2

sturdy mason
#

which one is better to do? Desynth or seals?

obsidian patio
#

Hard to say, desynth if they give unique things

somber knoll
#

I'd say desynth. Seals are easy to get from dungeon loots

rare sable
#

Eh, I would say seal

somber knoll
#

Depends on your needs i guess

rare sable
#

Desynth would probably just give you random ore thats like, 3k gil

sturdy mason
#

Oh I'm sorry, I miscommunicated what I meant. Not the actual gear but the trade-in items

ebon sphinx
#

@slim zenith They'd be out all the benefits of the FC, chat exp boosts, estate, etcetc.

somber knoll
#

Discard? Unless you want the exchanged items :p

ebon sphinx
#

but thanks s again

slim zenith
#

@slim zenith Other option is they don't play till the next patch/expansion?

rare sable
#

Oh that, just use it for 2nd class

sturdy mason
#

Well I've been gearing Deepshadow so I'm not sure if I still need to use it

#

What are Hive Totem / Expanse Totem for?

sturdy canyon
#

Ravana Weapons & Bird / Bismarck Weapons & Bird

somber knoll
#

The primal themed chocobo bardings also use one of the totem items too as crafting materials

sturdy canyon
#

Yea, I know remember Thordan Ex uses the ā€œtotemā€ but couldn’t remember what else did as well

rare sable
#

?___? Um.... pretty sure, no? Crafting mats are loots, it cant be bought with totems...

obsidian patio
#

You can’t buy the material drop with totems

sturdy canyon
#

Correct, Round Table Barding is the exception as it’s bought straight with the totems instead of crafted

jade quartz
#

The totems are not used to craft any bardings either.

#

Yep

#

Round Table (Thordan) Barding is the only barding that uses totem-like items (in this case, helm fragment) in any way.

somber knoll
#

Ah okay

#

It has that ravanna's forewing

jade quartz
#

Ravana's Forewing is not the totem

somber knoll
#

Isn't that the totem?

jade quartz
#

it's the rare drop crafting mat

somber knoll
#

Ahh

jade quartz
#

!item Hive Totem

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Hive Totem** **:** Miscellany : ilvl 200

This steel idol resembling the primal Ravana is used by the Gnath during summoning ceremonies.

sturdy mason
#

how do I find the ishgardian restoration recipes in the Crafting Log?

somber knoll
#

You unlock them after talking to an npc there

obsidian patio
#

Talk to potkin after talking to everyone else with a quest marker in the firmament

sturdy mason
#

I did and he shows me a turn-in window but no recipes

little walrus
#

whats the name of the eureka-type thing in HW?

#

and how do i get to it

somber knoll
#

Same section of the log as the beast tribe recipes

obsidian patio
#

There’s no eureka-type thing for heavensward

somber knoll
#

Diadem?

jade quartz
#

There isn't one @little walrus

little walrus
#

Diadem?

#

yea

jade quartz
#

Formerly the Diadem existed, and it could be considered a precursor to Eureka in a way

somber knoll
#

It's currently removed from the game.

little walrus
#

oh shit rly?

jade quartz
#

But it was largely regarded a failed piece of content and has been removed.

little walrus
#

well rip me never having done it

somber knoll
#

They are reworking it

jade quartz
#

All the rewards which could be attained from it are now accessible elsewhere.

little walrus
#

like what? i just wante dto check it out lol

jade quartz
#

It is making a "return" as gatherer-focused content as part of Ishgardian Reconstruction

sturdy mason
somber knoll
#

There are prob old youtube videos showing it

obsidian patio
#

Go to your crafting log and click the button near the level brackets

jade quartz
#

Ishgardian Reconstruction Skybuilders' Scrips are exchangeable for most of the rewards formerly from Diadem.

#

e.g. Pegasus mount and some minions

obsidian patio
#

Not sure how to best describe it, not currently online

jade quartz
#

The materials previously obtainable from Diadem are now purchasable with yellow gatherer's scrips.

somber knoll
#

Same area where master recipes, beast tribe recipes are

sturdy mason
obsidian patio
#

Above the 1-5

somber knoll
#

The bag with star icon

sturdy mason
#

OH, yeah that is it

#

thank you

somber knoll
#

Near the highlighted steps icon

sturdy mason
#

Does it matter that Potkin says all work is completed?

jade quartz
#

No, that's referring to the server's overall progress in rebuilding the area

#

Which is currently halted until the next update.

somber knoll
#

Atm work is completed for the mendicant court

jade quartz
#

Has no impact on your ability to turn stuff in and get the rewards.

somber knoll
#

You just don't get to see the area progress

#

From its initial look to now

sturdy mason
#

How do I go about getting materials for these? Just normal locations that it shows me in gathering log?

jade quartz
#

Yep, the locations will now be accessible to you.

#

The materials are also all marketboard tradable.

sturdy mason
#

So is it rare for people to go through the trouble of getting all the raw mats?

#

vs just buy them

somber knoll
#

Will they be good way to level 60 something DoH?

jade quartz
#

Nah plenty of people do both

fresh lodge
#

Depends on how much you value your money

sturdy mason
#

oh you can't quick synth them? hmm

#

someone was saying you can get 20-30 levels in 5 minutes or something, I'm not seeing it

They are crafted as collectibles i think so no quick synthing them

jade quartz
#

You use macros, void

sturdy mason
#

I haven't messed with macros yet. I remember asking here if there were some posted somewhere I could use and I think the general response was "no, it depends on level, gear, stats, etc"

jade quartz
#

Hang on

#

This has macros for making the turnins at all level ranges

#

enjoy ez mode crafter leveling

#

Advise paying some attention to what the macros are actually doing though

#

so you don't fall into the pit of hitting level cap and finding you have no idea how to manually craft anything because you automated it all

little walrus
#

what lvl does ur class need to be, to be used in eureka?

sturdy mason
#

/ac means what? usually commands are acronyms

jade quartz
#

action

#

@little walrus 70

little walrus
#

ah, that explains some things lol

#

bf went 61 GNB and was getting shit on

sturdy mason
#

"Requires 104, 117, 253 and stone soup" means what?

somber knoll
#

Your crafting stats, craftsmanship, control and cp

fresh lodge
#

Those are the base stats you need alongside using stone soup

obsidian patio
#

Craftsmanship/Control/CP for that order though

sturdy mason
#

The guide doesn't mention what to craft. Is the expectation I craft the highest level recipe I can with those stats? In my case it's Skybuilder Rivets (lv40) my ARM is level 44

#

and the stats I need are under Lv40 in the guide (180, 190, 260)?

jade quartz
#

That's because the items are different for each crafter.

#

"Level 40" "Level 50" refers to the items.

#

So yes

sturdy mason

If I run ifrit unsynced as blue mage, can I still get the spell?

Gryphonskin eyepatch too

Yes but it will have a low learn rate

Probably like 5-10% from personal experience

Yes, you cam get eruption from fighting ifrit unsynced as blu

Do people usually run stuff synced for 100% chance or just yolo?

So.....you can’t use Nascent Flash when Solo? You HAVE to have a targetted party member to use it?

Both really

#

Yea, its kinda oof for war liktat

sturdy mason
#

is the collectability too low?

near depot
#

So uh I’m level 68 and the only dungeon I have unlocked is The Sirensong which is lvl lvl 61. Should I have more dungeons unlocked at my level or is that normal?

rich bay
#

The next one is a level 63 one Rey.
(Shishui of the Violet Tides, it is an optional dungeon. But you need it to fly in the Ruby Sea.)

jade quartz
#

Progress the MSQ.

rich bay
#

The Next MSQ one after Sirensong is Bardam's Mettle. (Level 65)

raven sage
#

Yeah if you're behind in msq then even with the optional one you still won't see any for a bit

jade quartz
#

@sturdy mason no that's good, turnin requires minimum 90 collectability.

Progress the story within Eureka.

When you've leveled up enough there will be another mini-quest objective from Krile.

Hello good morning! I have a quick question. So currently i have ffxiv on Ps4 and planning to get it for my laptop, should i buy it in steam or their website or does it matter?

jade quartz
#

Speak with Krile in Eureka

#

Up to you Neko, Steam and non-Steam PC versions are not compatible however

#

So once you pick one, you're locked in to that platform for your PC purchases.

#

Steam lets you pay with Steam wallet, but non-Steam may be more likely to have sales.

#

It doesn't really matter much.

jovial garnet
#

Awesome thank you!

Does Eureka give decent XP for Job leveling, or is XP in Eureka totally separate?

No

You'll still get the first time bonus though

@untold ermine eureka gives 0 outside experience

untold ermine
#

Blah. Ok

#

Looks like Ghimlyt Dark then. Just wanna get WAR from 70 to 71 so I can run Trusts

upbeat storm
#

whats the best tome dungeon to do then

obsidian patio
#

In terms of poetics probably the Aetherochemical Research Facility or the Ghimlyt Dark

#

Doing main scenario, 50/60/70, and alliance raid roulette daily are also pretty decent

#

If you mean the moogle tomes, then praetorium/Castrum for tanks/healers and probably Dun Scaith/Weeping City of Mhach for DPS.

#

Aurum Vale can be done pretty fast as a party of blue mages if you coordinate

crude relic
#

So on my RDM I'm now lvl 66 and I'm just getting to Kugane. Around what level should I be by the end of the 4.0 MSQ if I do every optional dungeon I can?

leaden ginkgo
#

The last 4.0 quests are L70 so you'll need to be there at least

#

You're probably on pace to finish 4.0 quests around L71ish?

#

Depends how many roulettes and whatnot you do in the meantime

crude relic
#

I do the 4 roulettes I have access to every day on RDM which nets me 2 levels so far šŸ˜›

obsidian patio
#

You’ll probably hit level 80 before entering shadowbringers

boreal prism
#

does crystal and primal have around the same population?

obsidian patio
#

Hard to accurately say, unofficial censuses aren’t perfect in how they measure active character

#

But from trends I’ve seen, Crystal is a bit smaller than Aether/Primal

boreal prism

So...I have gotten far to accustomed to having The Blackest Night always ready for pretty much everything. Playing Warrior now and I’m having a little bit of trouble timing my defensive cooldowns .

Maybe its just that I not used to having major cooldowns that heal instead of mitigating?

are there any of the 10x leves at levels 60-70 or 70-80?

obsidian patio

Nope, those only existed for heavensward

trail rivet

cool, ty

obsidian patio
#

@untold ermine Raw Intuition/Nascent Flash are basically your TBN for Warrior in the context of ā€œshort but strong cooldown you can use oftenā€

#

And Nascent Flash is stupidly strong in big pulls when paired with Chaos Cyclone or Inner Release+Decimate

#

Equilibrium is also basically a free Cure 2 for yourself

what's a good way to get allied seals?

is it hunt trains?

Ehh, people don’t really do hunt trains for the ARR zones anymore

If you have BLU levelled then probably through that

Best bet is with Blue Mage and the Masked Carnivale and the Blue Mage Log

that awards them directly?

Yep

You must exchange Anemos crystals/Protean crystals with Gerolt in Eureka Anemos.

#

The crystals are earned from grinding FATEs or regular mob chains in Eureka Anemos.

#

You have to upgrade them all the way to Channeler's Halfslops Anemos for them to become dyeable.

yes

So like a warning?

alpine shadow

not exactly sure how long, but you can definetly resub before you boot off i think

i dont think you get an ingame warning

so you would want to check your emails if your payment fails

Ok

if you are confident that you wont be able to pay for the subscription the last day, i dont reccommend doing anything end-game content (savage/ultimate)

I just hit 80 and completed msq. What should I do for gear?

alpine shadow
#

Well, you can either grind for phantasmogia gear (deepshadow)

or do trial content which should boost you a bit more too

#

once you get high enough ilvl you could try to get savage gear

#

there is also goetia that you can trade for if you have some left

with a new patch

yep

and there will be a new set of allagan's

The base game currently isn't in NG+ as SE is planning to rework it in 5.3

Oh I see. I didn’t really miss any important detail in realm reborn right?

depending on how much you skipped you probably skipped the set-up for heavensward and some small starting pieces for stormblood and some lore tidbits

yeah glowy is what im all about rn

yeah it is enormous though... where do i put it....

gritty oracle
#

How do I use oGCDs on SCH if I have to spam Adlo to keep the tank alive? I prefer to save Swift for if I don't succeed and have to ress the tank.

obsidian patio
#

sounds like you or the tank are very undergeared if you feel like you need to spam adlo on the tank

rough anchor
#

Is there anything that looks like the hemiskin brais of maiming but isn’t restricted by a lvl60 requirement?

obsidian patio
#

@rough anchor unfortunately no

rough anchor
#

Well, only 23 levels to go then!

gritty oracle
#

The tanks tend to pull too much.

#

Idk something about being healed by a SCH makes them go apeshit with pulls.

obsidian patio
#

what level are you currently?

gritty oracle
#

53

paper raptor
#

Is there way to skip game asking for confirmation? Stuff like using teleporters and such.

gritty oracle
#

I have full Daystar/Ironworks gear

obsidian patio
#

Upgrade your ironworks weapon if you haven't already, that'll help a bit.

#

You can upgrade it with a Carbontwine by talking to Drake in North Shroud at Hyrstmill

#

As for healing, spamming Adloquium generally means that you're wasting the actual heal part of the spell unless the tank is taking enough damage to benefit from that too.

#

And don't be afraid to use Whispering Dawn as a tool to heal just the tank

gritty oracle
#

I only spam Adlo if the tank will deplete the whield by the time next cast finishes

#

which is depressingly often

rare sable
#

spamming adlo is inefficient... adlo > physic > adlo is better

#

GWgoaThinken hmm

obsidian patio
#

If you only consider the shield part of adloquium, you're wasting nearly half the effective healing from it

#

!action adloquium

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Adloquium** : lvl 30 SCH (1000 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)

Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 300
Additional Effect: Grants Galvanize to target, nullifying damage equaling 125% of the amount of HP restored. When critical HP is restored, also grants Catalyze, nullifying damage equaling 125% the amount of HP restored.
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with astrologian's Nocturnal Field.

rare sable
#

yeah, tank must be severely under-geared if your adlo shield is gone in 1 gcd

gritty oracle
#

I know how Adlo works. When I spam Adlo, it means the tank will benefit from 100% of both the shields and healing.

rare sable
#

😩 thats bad luck then

#

/pat

gritty oracle
#

and usually also means that if I stop spamming adlo, the tank will die

obsidian patio
#

Lustrate is only slightly weaker than Adloquium in terms of potency (600vs 675) so you can generally replace an adloquium with a lustrate if you don't consider lucky critlos

gritty oracle
#

again, something about SCH makes tanks go apeshit with pulling.
Anyways
So should I weave Physick+Lustrates inbetween Adlos? Or just spam Adlo and let Lustrate clip?

#

and the damage reduc thing

#

and whisper+fey illu

#

whichever is needed

twilit arch
#

i mean its not specific to sch at all, most people are going to pull big

obsidian patio
#

Just remember to not always keep the tank at 100% so your fairy can help chip in

twilit arch
#

unless they see you're undergeared or you wipe.

jade quartz
#

Pulling at least two groups of mobs at a time is standard operating procedure for most players.

gritty oracle
#

I never had a problem with tanks overpulling while I was playing AST

jade quartz
#

There’s seldom any such thing as ā€œoverpullingā€

heavy oracle
#

Hey Im trying to do second coil turn 3. I dont know what to do. I cant find the boss šŸ˜„

It’s just a matter of gear sometimes.

heavy oracle
#

Yeah I think so

jade quartz
#

The boss is right in the middle of the arena

#

I don’t understand the problem

obsidian patio
#

From the starting area you go forward twice and then go forward-right

gritty oracle
#

Also, in most cases is dumping fairy under the boss optimal (unless it's a big room and/or there's lost of movement)?

jade quartz
#

Oh right there’s the weird corridor

obsidian patio
#

pretty much, yeah

heavy oracle
#

Thats just a wall... lol

you went forward an extra time, though you should be able to use that corridor you're facing

unsync does not change the drop rate for mounts

crude relic
#

How do I unlock guildhests? I know someone answered this yesterday but I forgot lmfao

twilit arch
#

do the quest "Simply the Hest" in central shroud/western thanalan/western la noscea

#

but you need to have unlocked that area's levemete first (bentbranch/horizon/quarterstone)

obsidian patio
#

the exact area depending on what city you started in

crude relic
#

And then will unlocking hests unlock the roulette or do I need to do other stuff? The wiki thing linked earlier didn't really say more than unlock guildhests.

obsidian patio
#

You need to have unlocked/completed two of the guildhests to get the roulette

#

though the roulette itself isn't really rewarding enough to do

warped oak
#

relic weps are probably not worth to do while leveling right

obsidian patio
#

it gives low experience compared to the rest of the roulettes and drops off after 50.

warped oak
#

never played the game just thought it was cool

obsidian patio
#

yeah, they're a definite grind and you can get weapons nearly equivalent to the last stage in stats for only a couple hundred tomestones (level cap currency)

and you spend those in uhhh

highest level dungeon you can run that isn't level 50/60/70

old level cap dungeons give low experience compared to the leveling dungeon before them

Soooo Amdapor Keep?

twilit arch
#

no

#

amdapor is a lv50 dungeon

aurum vale is the 49 dungeon, and you should run that

You'd run Aurum Vale or Dzemael Darkhold instead of the level 50 dungeons

Well, atleast I'll get moggle tomes for the mounts I want x.x Also the Warring Lanner is what Ex's mount? It's able to be gotten via moogle tomes and I wanna know the boss so I can check it off the list of shit I have to do.

Nice, tks

leaden ginkgo
#

did the blue mage class swap glitch get patched? i cant seem to do it

raw solstice
#

the most current way to do it is to do something with a long cast that will one-shot a mob--Flare can sometimes work from BLM, but generally just hardcast veraero/verthunder from RDM is the method you have to use. If this has been very recently patched out though, I don't know, but things that don't have that long cast haven't worked for a while now. Though, the fastest option either way is still just to tag mobs and have someone not in your party kill them for you

leaden ginkgo
#

damn i dont have blm or rdm leveled,cant get it with smn and sch

raw solstice
#

you very specifically need that long cast time so no other jobs will work for it other than those jobs with those spells

#

can't even be any GCD-length cast

leaden ginkgo
#

ill try grabbing rdm,thanks

rdm still works,ty

glad pewter
#

What is the highest dps job between melee dps? Was looking into dragoon and am impressed by the potencies of their actions

leaden ginkgo
#

samurai

raw solstice
#

SAM. It's a bit unreliable to use potencies to compare across jobs

#

since they don't really translate directly across, especially after factoring in traits and buffs and such

obsidian wren
#

sam > mnk > drg > nin

#

basically the more support skills the less dps

raw solstice
#

but even without those traits/buffs, jobs don't all share the same potency scaling (especially comparing physical jobs to caster jobs)

glad pewter
#

That makes sense

#

Like with ranged, bard has a bit less dps but more utility than others right

obsidian wren
#

less dps than machinist but more than dancer

glad pewter
#

DNC has the least dps among ranged?

obsidian wren
#

oh, titan numbers show dnc having slightly more

#

believe brd got nerfed a bit too hard with them getting more support last patch

glad pewter
#

I been maining bard until now and changed to DNC to play through stormblood and been feeling it so powerful

obsidian wren
#

dnc has some very strong single hit attacks in their dances

#

that might help with that feeling

#

they're still very close to brd

glad pewter
#

Probably that

raw solstice
#

yeah, more DoT based jobs can often naturally feel a bit less directly impactful compared to doing something and knocking off a huge chunk of HP from the target

glad pewter
#

yeah the burst damage from dnc is very different than what I was used to while playing as brd

#

is SMN linda like brd while BLM kinda like DNC in this aspect as well?

#

Since SMN has important DoTs

#

While BLM being focused in burst damage

#

Not familiar with casters yet tbh, still gotta level up them

raw solstice
#

well, BLM isn't especially burst, but big sustain. You have slower, bigger hits. SMN has a good portion of their damage coming from their DoTs, egi, and also from oGCD, so lots of little hits, with some parts of your cycle where you peak a bit in damage

glad pewter
#

got it

#

SMN seems to be more busy and maybe complex than the other casters

gritty oracle
#

I have two lore questions.

  1. Has there been a precedent of non-Garleans receiving a third eye?
  2. Can third eyes be removed?
raw solstice
#

it can take a bit of getting used to at higher levels but it's pretty structured and you have various elements of leeway when you get some practice in

fast marten
#

@gritty oracle oh man, i want to make a third eye blind joke, but i can imagine they could be removed, though that sounds super ouchie

gritty oracle
#

Hmm

raw solstice
#

#archived-lore-spoilers might be a good place to get answers for this, but for now I'll ping responsible <@&587224778088120331> folks since it's far from my forte

fresh lodge
#

@gritty oracle ||She does||

#

And for your other questions ||From what i've heard from Rommy, only pure blooded Garleans have the third eye, and it can be hypothetically removed||

gritty oracle
#

Whoops, sorry for spoiling

#

And thanks!

fresh lodge
#

All good

#

Though Cal will probably be the next lore expert online, so i'd double check with them

karmic veldt
#

šŸ‘€

#
  1. No, only pureblood Garleans have a third eye.
  2. No, it's an organ, and fairly hard, it'd probably be painful and difficult to remove it.
#

Especially since it's right up against their pineal gland.

obsidian wren
#

idk about the reliability of the fandom wiki but it says ||She wears a narrow headband that covers the "third-eye" pure-blooded Garleans are known for. ||

#

for lucia specifically

karmic veldt
#

Lucia does, yes.

#

Cid also covers his with his goggles.

fresh lodge
#

@gritty oracle

#

Can you spoiler those last 2 messages Rommy?

gritty oracle
#

Wait third eyes are an organ??? I thought it was some kind of object inserted to them as kids or something

twilit arch
#

nope, its something they're born with

strange prism
#

After 6 weeks on doman enclave i unlocked junkmonger but she doesn't sell the yanxia merchant's haori x_x what is happening

twilit arch
#

did you do the lighting ceremony

#

iirc the haori is unlocked after that quest

fresh lodge
#

Its a quest reward

strange prism
#

after how many months do you unlock yanxia merchant?

#

haori

fresh lodge
#

Buying it from the vendor is just there to replace it if something happens

vast cedar
#

hey my friend is new and wants to buy the job skip for samurai (Tales of Adventure: One Samurai's Journey I & II), he owns all the expansions but hasn't unlocked samurai yet

#

how does this work? will he not be able to play the class until it's unlocked?

twilit arch
#

no, the skip unlocks and completes all job quests up to lv 70

vast cedar
#

so If he wants to buy a main story skip and job skip, he should choose a base game class?

raw solstice
#

nah he can do SAM just fine

vast cedar
#

even if he's not a stormblood content yet?

raw solstice
#

like Kael mentioned it unlocks the job and completes the quests for you, you can jump right in as SAM like that if you really want to

twilit arch
#

the skips don't care whether you have the job unlocked or not, it only cares that you have the appropriate expansion tied to your account

vast cedar
#

ok dope. thanks for your guys help

twilit arch
#

sam doesn't have msq requirements anyway

balmy river
#

There's any way to make teleports cheaper?

fresh lodge
#

There is an FC buff you can use, or if you have squadrons unlocked you can get manuals from there that do the same thing

balmy river
#

And FC stands for what? šŸ¤”

scarlet arrow
#

Free Company

#

(guild)

drifting crest
#

Free Companys are the Guilds in FFXIV

#

Once you played a bit teleport costs wont matter at all anyway.

you get enough gil just by playing the game to afford traveling where you need to

balmy river
#

Idk how much late game stuff gonna cost so, I'd rather save any gil I can.

crystal bluff
#

The amount you'll spend on teleports is insignificant

balmy river
#

Ah, I have plenty Gil already, around 38k

crystal bluff
#

And it saves so much time when doing MSQ

drifting crest
#

Make sure to set your Return Point for a free teleport to that point every 30 mins. You can set favorites which give you a 50% discount to your favorite teleport points

#

you won't need Gil in endgame since you buy gear with tomestones

scarlet arrow
#

items that cost a significant amount of gil tend to be vanity items like pets, housing furnishings, glamor outfits, etc.

drifting crest
#

Gil is effectively only used for Glamour

balmy river
#

But all I've been doing lately is teleport and ship from place to place to fufill quests so I was curious If I can't make this even a minor expense

#

Hmm.. I see.

crystal bluff
#

The only thing I've bought for gil was a level 60 armor set
And that only cost me 10k

drifting crest
#

Are you playing tank, heal or dps?

balmy river
#

Heal atm

#

But I'll definitely switch to Gunbreaker when the time comes

drifting crest
#

Ah don't worry about teleport costs then

#

Tank and Heal often get bonus gil & exp when doing roulettes ("adventure in need" bonus")

idle salmon
#

how long will it take to grind out a Lemegeton Anemos in Eureka?

#

I heard it's complete shit if u dont have an entire server running around spawning FATEs

scarlet arrow
#

top-end crafted weapons and armor at the endgame can theoretically be BiS (best in slot) with enough materia and those can get expensive, but ultimately aren't really necessary

drifting crest
#

Only really neccessary if you are raiding

scarlet arrow
#

and raiding the hardest content

drifting crest
#

And most people who raid have a crafter in their group who give you a discount/make it for only mats costs

raw solstice
#

crafted weapons are never BiS and crafted gear is very rarely BiS. It is good for early prog for a new raid tier though

scarlet arrow
#

in short: don't worry about Gil šŸ™‚

raw solstice
#

but unless it's like high end prog most folks don't really bother with it at all

leaden ginkgo
#

Heyo! So I've only been playing for about 2-3 months now and only recently began levelling a botanist. Last night I discovered a map (my third ever) but it says I need 8 people 60+? Also, the location looks like it's above an area I can't reach by foot. Is a group necessary or can I solo (I haven't made any actual friends yet in game) and do I need to unlock flight to reach this area (on top of a large rock)

whole wasp
#

flight will be helpful. If you are level 80, it should be soloable though bringing friends is always great.

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah, friends are great q.q so I hear. Lol srsly though, ty. I'll start working on unlocking flight then. Thank you!

whole wasp
#

Np. Have fun!

idle salmon
#

how long will it take to grind out a Lemegeton Anemos in Eureka?

whole wasp
#

thats the summoner relic i think. It really depends on how much you grind at it and if there are other players inside Anemos to take down NMs with you

idle salmon
#

so any estimates like how many hours solo or with a few people?

slate arrow
#

A week minimum if you only do eureka

whole wasp
#

hard to say and it also depends on your elemental level

#

from lvl 1, yea a week would be a conservative estimate

idle salmon
#

like how many hours tho

#

a week could be like 1 minute too

stray saffron
#

impossible to say because it depends on instance activity in your datacenter when you go in

fresh lodge
#

We can't give an accurate number

stray saffron
#

and how hard you want to grind

#

minimum like 15-20 hours i would say

fresh lodge
#

Its based on how many players are in the instance, and how hard you grind

lost sinew
#

i just finished msq roulette cm with a level 54 job needing 1.8mil to level... and only got a 372k daily bonus. that seems... really low/wrong...?

#

that’s only 20% of a level...

slate arrow
#

Yeah that's about right

lost sinew
#

geez. thought it gave more than that.

#

sum total was about 70% of a level with partial rest

slate arrow
#

Only praetorium gives a dumb amount of EXP due to the sheer time needed just for cutscenes

twilit arch
#

castrum is usually around 20%, prae is like 60%? or something

lost sinew
#

ah. didn’t realize the difference was that stark.

whole wasp
#

yea, prae is like an 50 minute - an hour run

twilit arch
#

castrum is usually like 30mins~, maybe a bit shorter

#

prae is 45-50

#

longer run means it gives more

lost sinew
#

i know it gave more... just didn’t realize it was THAT different.

slate arrow

Lmao

where do I go to see My Documents or do you mean you actually save it in your "My documents" folder in your pc

and @slate arrow yea I'm trying to message him back

how can I do that

wintry chasm
#

@fresh lodge wait you can look up logs like that?

fresh lodge
#

Yeah but it isn't great

wintry chasm
#

I wouldn't have thought so

burnt spear
#

so I never really played tank before, is Gunbreaker a good introduction class?

slate arrow
#

yes but no

#

Tanking itself is relatively simple

#

Just turn on tank stance and make sure every mob is targeting you

#

The main difficulty with tanks is knowing when and where to use your cooldowns

#

personally, I wouldn't recommend gunbreaker to learn as it's personal migitation is quite less in comparison to the other jobs

#

So you don't have a lot of "fuck up" room if any

#

(in dungeons, that is.)

#

(trials/normal raids as long as the healer isn't literally asleep you have to actually try to die)

I see, thanks

About to finish ARR, is there any non MSQ stuff I should do before starting heavensward story?

ah crystal tower, the 24man raid for ARR

Ohh

twilit arch

its unlocked in mor dhona

Is level skipping worth it for a new player?

crystal bluff
#

No IMO

#

You level up really fast with the double exp under level 70 anyways

I got to 60 just doing main story in like a week and a bit

fresh lodge
#

Its also basically useless if you don't pair it with a story skip

hoary storm
#

Ive seen somewhere long ago retainer ventures can go down to 40 min instead of 1h is this true?

languid kernel
#

is there a way to make a macro where if I have summon 1 active, pressing it will use summon 3, and vice versa

slate arrow
#

Well yes but I wouldn't recommend it

raven sage
#

Ventures aren't all the same amount of time

#

They don't go down

slate arrow
#

It involves using hotbar clone and replace commands

raven sage
#

What they're listed as is the length they'll be

twilit arch
#

they do, actually

#

Checking on my alt who's retainer is 50, their 41-49 hunting missions are 1h vs my main's which is 80, and those are 40mins

#

so higher level means that previous hunting/gathering missions do go down, to a point

#

61-70 are 50m with a max lvl retainer, 71-80 is an hr, and everything below that is 40mins

#

time adjustments are only for hunting/gathering missions.

#

@hoary storm

silent pike
#

@crystal bluff while it is likely not possible to do this anymore, at least read the story for the Bahamut dungeons. They aren’t in DF queues and they are super difficult but (allegedly) the story is engaging and affects 3.0 at least a tiny tiny bit

crystal bluff
#

Ok

silent pike
#

I haven’t done it yet that’s why I say allegedly lol

#

I haven’t seen that story

twilit arch
#

You'd probably be able to find PF groups for it

#

especially if you say first timer bonus but don't expect people to run it sync

silent pike
#

I think the only thing it affects in MSQ is some dialogue in HW

twilit arch
#

and its doesn't specifically affect 3.0's story

silent pike
#

That’s about all I know

twilit arch
#

is affects a character's dialogue in the patch msq

dim ridge
#

yeah its a small handful of lines that just acknowledge you did the questline since it'd be relevant to the story. since dragoon, the job, is a job that came from ishgard

twilit arch
#

how they greet you is affected by it

leaden ginkgo
#

What's the best way to level combat classes? Im thinking of starting with dps (since i know how to do that already) then migrate to different roles

slate arrow
#

MSQ > roulettes > dungeons > deep dungeons (Palace of The Dead/Heaven on High)

twilit arch
#

general recommended leveling is: 1-15= hunting log/fates/palace of the dead.
15+ daily leveling roulette (+alliance/msq 50+)
tanks/healers: highest level dungeon (except 50/60/70, do 49/59/69 dungeons instead)
dps: palace of the dead (51-60 floor spam)/heaven on high at 61 (21-30 floors)

#

that said if you don't want to do potd/hoh, do fates/beast tribes/hunt bills while waiting in queue for a dungeon

glad pewter
#

As DPS you're going to have a lot of free time waiting for duties, so I suggest you do hunting logs/levequests/fates at low level while waiting (unless you have a healer/tank friend, then it won't take long on the queue)

visual flame
#

new player here - just transitioned from free trial and im very excited. since i wanted to explore a bit before moving on, i am overleveled. i JUST finished my level 20 quest to unlock subclass and im already 36.... i looked at the MSQ list and its massive. since the exp gain is so fast (preferred server) i am considering playing multiple characters through the main story at the same time

#

thoughts?

scarlet arrow
#

multiple characters or multiple jobs?

visual flame
#

i heard MSQ is a good source of xp and it feels like such a waste on the overleveled job

#

jobs** thank you

scarlet arrow
#

ah ok

#

yeah you can easily do that

languid kernel
#

thats fine, when i got a job to 70 i switched to another

#

just focus on msq

visual flame
#

yeah, i figured you'd still be in ARR content at that point though

#

and then you have to grind all the way up to your MSQ to start being productive again

no 70 is past arr, somwhere in late heavensward
