AF= Artifact Gear
wintry chasm
aka the level 50 stuff
twilit arch
1 being that its the first set of it
wintry chasm
Expansion jobs don't get job gear retroactively. Only at the level cap of the expansion they came out in
leaden ginkgo
Damn
Alright I'll go get the paladin stuff then
1 more question
If I'm at GLA/PLD level 50, do I get DRK at level 50 too or do I have to level it up?
wintry chasm
Unlocks with a level of 30
leaden ginkgo
F
wintry chasm
so have to level it up
Also this is the first job gear for DRK (it looks better when it's not against a bright background)
leaden ginkgo
Everything about it is glorious except for the helmet
leaden ginkgo
Yeah either way you already know I'm going for the most edgiest drk
frail jewel
Are there gag costumes? Like a moogle suit
strong falcon
guys, i finally unlockeds the gunbreaker, do i need to do the quest or rogan after i unlocked it?
fresh lodge
You'll need to do all the job quests to unlock Continuation
wintry chasm
A fair amount @frail jewel
green grail
chocobo, moogle, namazu, pig, frog heads and suits
light drift
Was starting as a Tank for my first job a bad idea? Im getting so much exp from the msq( im on double exp server) and the queues as a tank are so quick anyways... Should i have picked a different Job first?
green grail
not really, doesn't really matter
just be prepared you can get shouted at for being bad in the first couple dungeons until you get used to the usual dungeon etiquette of the game
frail jewel
bruv this game just gets better and better. can you imagine a tank dressed up as a chocobo/moogle taunting bahamut and behemoths

Out of curiosity can you skip the entire cutscene segment for "The Parting Glass"?

i always have lag issue if playing with 24players
i have question Battle Effect Other is alliance,players only or boss, enemy included ?
serene elbow
no boss or enemy ?
jade quartz
No
gritty oracle
Are Leg Graze, Foot Graze and Foot Graze ever really useful?
jade quartz
Limited should be fine
jade quartz
Limited should probably be fine for any number
You can’t turn down effects for PvP btw
jade quartz
Where else are you encountering 72 players?
strong falcon
hm, guys it's weird, but i unlock gunbreaker, equippe, and i turn gunbreaker, nothing special, but when i try to re-equip my sword shield of paladin, i turn to a gladiator O,O
serene elbow
pvp
strong falcon
not a paladin anymore
jade quartz
PvP will not be affected
gritty oracle
Because your job stone makes you a paladin
jade quartz
Can’t turn down those effects
little swift
Save your gear as a gearset
serene elbow
oh right, its will show all
jade quartz
You should save your paladin to a Gearset
jade quartz
You should not change by just equipping a sword and shield
jade quartz
You should save each job as its own gearset
Gearsets can be dragged onto your hotbar if you wish for one-click job switching
Or you can use the gearset menu
raw solstice
@gritty oracle about head/leg/foot graze, overall they're not super useful. For foot graze/leg graze like you could maybe make a case for using them to get out of a bad situation when soloing mobs. For head graze, you can make use of silence sometimes but it's not a super common situation to run into, especially more at endgame (they occasionally have a fight every few raid tiers that's "silence this or wipe/be put in a real bad situation" but it's infrequent enough and there's other people that can do it as well)
jade quartz
Remember to update your gearsets with the 🔄 button when you update them with a new piece of gear
gritty oracle
Is there any way to turn off all tutorials popups? I've just started an alt and don't particularly need to be explained how to turn in quests.
also thanks Rika!
raw solstice
there's a checkbox on the popup to stop them from showing up, I assume there's a setting to do it manually as well but I don't know it offhand
stray saffron
there is a setting in character config > UI, I think
strong falcon
@jade quartz alright, thanks 😄
btw, what are your advice to get to lvl 70 with gunbreaker?
green grail
castrum abania till 61 then spam HoH 21-30
wintry chasm
Yes
But uh
Vis has the wrong dungeon
Vis is thinking of Gubal Library to 61 then HoH 21-30 (but honestly I'd do highest level dungeon spam all the way because it's more fun)
green grail
yeah that
gritty oracle
If a Preferred server is transformed into a Standard one, will my road to 70 buff be lost?
wintry chasm
When your server stops being preferred or after 90 days, whatever happens LAST
@green grail Is HoH even better than highest level dungeon spam for SB tank leveling? It can't be that much better if so

trying to buy a large plot on sprigga what does this mean: https://i.imgur.com/Ik2T0RW.png
raven sage
You're in a ward that is only open to FC purchases and relocations
lyric warren
oh that sucks
raven sage
They'll open it up eventually we just don't have a time yet
whole wasp
@rose rose yes you can move the button by editing your HUD, they are under duty action I and II
ran into the same issue leveling my THM. oof indeed
rose rose
oh I see, I didn't realize you could change the category
lyric warren
the red area on the plot is that exactly where the house wall will be or will u get more outdoor area? since the red area is covering almost the hole plot but the entrance area on the Large plot
leaden ginkgo
Is crafting worth it I’m a level 59 dragoon and wanted to get crafting would it be too late for me to get into it ?
dry glade
if I buy seeds, how do many materials do I harvest?
wintry chasm
depends on what you are growing and what soil you use
stray saffron
No such thing as too late for anything in this game, other than limited time events
lyric warren
@obsidian wren so the area where you can walk on is the actual garden area where you can place stuff? seems like M and S plots have more outdoor area then ..
stray saffron
If anything, you might want to consider waiting til you finish the MSQ before you start crafting
dry glade
ahh, alright thank you. I noticed on the market a lot of seeds were costing the same price as the fruit. I was hoping it gave at least two or otherwise it wouldn't be profitable.
wintry chasm
@leaden ginkgo Nothing like too late but since you are 59 I'd argue for the sake of ease I'd keep going a bit more with MSQ since you'll unlock a crafting system after patch 3.3 that is quite helpful for leveling
jade quartz
Crafting is totally optional and you can pick it up whenever you want
Or never.
It’s like its own game.
obsidian wren
it'll end up looking something like this
jade quartz
Large plots have the largest outdoor area
leaden ginkgo
@wintry chasm so progress with the msq a little bit more before I start crafting
jade quartz
This is visible with the red square you see now
wintry chasm
Personally that's what I'd do Sike since you are so close to unlocking that system
leaden ginkgo
Im just about to finish heavensward
wintry chasm
but you can get started now
leaden ginkgo
I think I’ll wait thanks for the help
wintry chasm
Leveling is easier with or without that system
just without it you have to generally do more walking around and stuff
leaden ginkgo
Thanks for the help
wintry chasm

isnt this BLM rotation outdated? "B3 > B4 > T3 > F3 > 3xF4 > F1 > 3xF4 > Despair > B3"
raw solstice
no, that's accurate
frosty badger
but
lyric warren
how do i travel to the goblet
frosty badger
how can you B4 before using enochian?
raw solstice
the enochian is assumed
leaden ginkgo
oh thats a rotation that excludes the weaves
you also need to slap stuff like ley lines and triple cast in that btw
raw solstice
you put up enochian as soon as you can in an instance and aim to never drop it
the above is just your general AF cycle
fresh lodge
@lyric warren Have you done the Goblet quest?
raw solstice
well, general rotation, that is
and you just use oGCD and whatever as they come at the next available weaving opportunity
but it's easiest just to display "here's your base rotation"
frosty badger
well i feel like a noob now for just spamming f1->f3
fresh lodge
The rotation guide is only meant to be a brief overview, it assumes you understand how all your skills work and how to slot them in
frosty badger
i see..
languid kernel
what would happen if I bought the entry sub but I have 2 characters on a world
lyric warren
how much does Large houses cost after you bought the plot
open coral
What do you mean @languid kernel ?
raven sage
You would lose access to whichever character comes second on the list
leaden ginkgo
you dont have to pay anything
because very unlikely that you will get a large house without relocating
fresh lodge
You would still need to buy the mansion unless you relocated from another mansion
leaden ginkgo
is the timer open though? or does it still tell you that you cant purchase yet
because someone will most likely come relocate within the next few minutes
lyric warren
ill check
fresh lodge
The house is 3mil
lyric warren
leaden ginkgo
that timer.. is no one taking it
lyric warren
what does that mean
junior yacht
it means it currently costs ~38 million gil
and the price will go down slightly in 45 mins
i think it's 2% of the initial value?
leaden ginkgo
i dont know for sure how much eac timer lasts
leaden ginkgo
but it means its been open for maybe 5hrs or so?
junior elk
The real timer is hidden, the one that say you can buy
wintry chasm
^
leaden ginkgo
and that no one relocated during that time
wintry chasm
^ that is surprising though
junior elk
Med are actually more popular I think, it's hard to furnish a big with the limit
leaden ginkgo
depends of the data center
junior elk
Probably
leaden ginkgo

do I get replica of every stage once I finished crafting HW relic?
wintry chasm
Should be able to get a replica of each stage as you do the stages but yes
fresh lodge
Yeah, only ARR requires you to finish the whole relic before getting Replicas
strong falcon
i've to admit, i'm a bit lost in this game. i've bought a story skip and a paladin job, got my gunbreaker, but now i'm really lost about how to level this chara, as i can't do the shadowbringer quest yet o,o
fresh lodge
Spam highest level dungeon and do your roulettes each day
shut panther
am I dumb, or is the only returning valentines items the fireworks?
stray saffron
note that when people say 'highest level dungeon,' they mean leveling dungeons, the dungeons whose levels end in numbers other than zero
wintry chasm
^ right
stray saffron
so for your fresh 60 gunbreaker, you would be looking at Great Gubal Library until 61, then Sirensong Sea til 63, Shisui of the Violet Tides til 65, and so on
fresh lodge
@shut panther Yep
wintry chasm
so do the highest 1-49/51--59/61-69/71-79 dungeons
strong falcon
i see o,o
fresh lodge
Only small novelty items return each year, all the major event items are put on the Mogstation
broken sail
Before going to dungeons though i recommend hitting training dummy and learn your class
wintry chasm
return if you didn't get them already
stray saffron
also daily roulettes! leveling roulette, main scenario roulette, alliance raids roulette (this will require unlocking some side content) are all worth it to do once per day
wintry chasm
What Helja said btw @strong falcon
Please don't do a dungeon without actually knowing how to play
stray saffron
and yeah for sure lol
strong falcon
that's what i've done
leaden ginkgo
to actually answer the housing question though- dunno how much it is for a mansion but you have 45 days to actually get the money for it after purchasing the plot
which should be enough time
fresh lodge
Its 3 million
lyric warren
ah so there is a timer for that too
strong falcon
i actually tank a dungeon, which was fairly easy tbh, i still have my WoW tanking mechanic, but i don't really know how is it different in this game
fresh lodge
There is a time limit to build your house
You have to build your house within the 45 days, not wait 45 days to build the house
lyric warren
ye ofc, so is there 3 mil for all Large houses or is there different ones?
fresh lodge
Its 3 mil for all
leaden ginkgo
probably 3mil for all larges
lyric warren

junior elk
At 61 you can do HoH if you want a fast catch up to 70 but you need rested exp for it to be the most exp gain

Vendor
junior elk
3 million are small house
heavy oracle
There are a lot of vendors in this game... lol
stray saffron
the high steel gunblade doesn't appear to be on any vendors
maybe go check calamity salvager

What Sade said
Otherwise I think you'll just need to buy it off the marketboard since it's craftable
junior elk
@heavy oracle let me check real quick

Yeah its really odd

at least it's craftable

green grail
ye, just without the rotating aoes

oh ok cause I saw someone mentioned it was not sure what it was, k
raw solstice
yeah, both the numbered cleave/dash limit cut, and the shield limit cut, were in A11S. Just without the hawkblasters like Vis said yeah

So I bought a game for my friend through steam
But the problem is he told me his code isn't working on the actual site
Do he need to active the code from steam?
leaden ginkgo
Yea, We live in same country too
timber fossil
did you buy the entire game? or just the expansion.
timber fossil
Can you have him take a picture of "Account Status"? In mogstation
like this part
maybe he already registered but the page bugged out or something and he thought he didn't register it.
leaden ginkgo
He said it isnt show
wintry chasm
This probably isn't going to help but can he show where he is inputting the code?
leaden ginkgo
Where does he have to enter the code again?
(I forgot myself and i does this before. Tho it wasnt this much problem)
fiery sigil
Not sure if this a stupid thing to ask but do you think the game has a bigger need for healers or tanks? i've been kind of playing both in mmorgps usually and i could enjoy either one but i know there is always a lack of one of those in any mmo so i want to do my part
wintry chasm
Healers are more in demand than tanks but compared to DPS they both are generally "in demand"
FYI healing in this game is different from other MMOs that I know
Where in this game you more....DPS and heal when you need to rather than healing every second of a fight
timber fossil
i believed tanks used to be more in demand before shadowbringer expansion. Likely the introduction of gunbreaker produced more supply for tanks.
frigid orbit
Hello everyone!
timber fossil
@frigid orbit yes, can we help you?

Hopefully we get a new healer in 6.0 cause I'm half bored of healing as a mostly healer main
blissful lava
Good Evening, so I asked this question earlier today but.. high ping means better connection?
dim ridge
no
wintry chasm
low ping means better connection
frigid orbit
Yes please. Started the game not so long ago, have basic grasp how game works, but I would like to know from experienced players what should I do ? I Usually pick up crafting and do quests side by side, but after leveling gathering I saw that crafting here is lot different.
wintry chasm
Someone better at tech stuff can explain ping better than I can but a high ping means like, there is a long time between sending and receiving information from the server or something
blissful lava
Well.. I tried the link someone provided me and it's really helpful, but which number I need to look out for ?
wintry chasm
so high ping is baaaaaaad
timber fossil
@frigid orbit one the most popular option is go for raiding. others go for crafting/gathering, some go for glamour collection, etc.
you can do all of them, just your preference to focus on one more then the others.
dim ridge
What you do as a new player is you do MSQ. Almost everything is locked behind 
gotta do it to continue unlocking new areas and content
including crafter/gatherer/raid content. just about everything is locked behind those quests in some way, shape, or form. so that should be your main main main main main priority over anything as a newbie
junior elk
@frigid orbit most of the craft depend on each other still, they made the cross skills obsolete tho
wintry chasm
@blissful lava Not really too knowledgeable but I think like, less than 200 is fine
timber fossil
@blissful lava you're probably golden if you can reach below 80 ping.
wintry chasm
That's tasty golden ping Colge
timber fossil
at 200, double weaving can be an issue
but under 80 is the most ideal.
100-150 is good enough
blissful lava
Well... there are a lot if numbers there
timber fossil
you can't do too much about ping though. there's sort of a "best ping" for your location. Ping is higher the further you are from the server location.
gloomy ice
Download and upload are the two things to look for.
timber fossil
NA servers are in California if i remember correctly.
wintry chasm
Yes
timber fossil
download and upload doesn't actually affect ping
raw solstice
download/upload aren't what you look for, it's ping specifically yeah
timber fossil
Ping is the response time between you and the server.
gloomy ice
Ah my bad 😅
raw solstice
you mentioned you were linked something, what were you linked/what numbers are you looking at? You can get a general idea by pinging a server/data center from each region to see what your ping is to each
but if you stick to the closest data center to where you are, your ping should generally be workable
timber fossil
just make sure you have stable connection to your router. either a good wireless connection or even better with ethernet cable. there isn't much you can do about ping beside physically moving closer to the server.
blissful lava
TTL=54
Packets Sent/Recieved = 4
Lost = 0
Approximate round Trip times in milli-seconds:
Min 126ms
Max 130ms
Average 127ms
Any ideas?
raw solstice
the ms numbers are what you're looking at
timber fossil
you're good enough.
blissful lava
This is my current server
raw solstice
average 127ms ping, min and max as listed. That's definitely doable
blissful lava
So which number should I look for? For a better result?
raw solstice
improvement would result in the min/max/average number decreasing
lower ping = less time to travel to server and back = better
timber fossil
like i said there isn't much you can do beside making sure you have a good connection to your router.
blissful lava
I think mine is good
But.. I've been considering changing from EU to NA if possible
raw solstice
are you located in NA?
blissful lava
Middle East actually
raw solstice
you can see your ping to the NA servers/data centers (all share the same physical location in california as previously mentioned)
timber fossil
https://arrstatus.com/
you can test your ping with these server's IP address and see which one works best for you.
raw solstice
middle east -> NA would probably leave you with rather high ping which, if you really wanted to you can make work, but it's certainly a worse experience
timber fossil
but you only need to test one data center for NA. unsure of EU.
blissful lava
I have the IP address webpage on my PC right now and was checking some
raw solstice
EU data centers are the same physical location as well
well, separate from NA now of course, but yeah
frigid orbit
Alright,thank you very much
blissful lava
Oh.. I checked Aether server/NA.. numbers are higher
raw solstice
yeah, they certainly would be. You're connecting to the west coast of the US, that's a pretty far distance from you
compared to connecting to EU
junior elk
On NA East coast I get ok ping from West and EU but you like have to do half the planets in ping for you Cien
blissful lava
Oh.. Elemental has similar numbers to my Light/EU server numbers plus 5 or 7
raw solstice
yeah, which kind of makes sense since those are located over in Japan
you can roughly estimate based on distance, there's a bit of funkiness that comes into play with routing but yeah
junior elk
So it's still nearer than NA
blissful lava
Oh I doubt the JPN DCs got an english server though
timber fossil
this gets a bit more technical, but sometimes routing makes a big difference
that's why there's things like WTFast
basically a VPN
junior elk
JP server got Australia players
timber fossil
to reduce potential unnecessary routing
fresh lodge
Tonberry and Kujata are the unofficial English servers on the Japan datacenters
blissful lava
Someone said that here before
fresh lodge
It was me
fresh lodge
Yes
upbeat storm
is ishgard restore worth waiting for to level crafting compared to leves?
also when do i get access to it in HW
fresh lodge
After you finish 3.3 msq
junior elk
Do your grand company turn in at minimum
timber fossil
i personally craft from lv25 all the way up to lv80 almost purely on ishgard restoration with some leves to fill in some gaps.
junior elk
The exp buff to GC turn in is great
timber fossil
just because crafting for ishgard restoration is very easy. very minimal materials. less pre-crafts.
easy as in, less preparation.
junior elk
Stock up on crystal and shard tho
upbeat storm
when new gear comes out do does materia go up in price?
or do people usually hold off on overmelding asap
fresh lodge
Usually
junior elk
Tho some ppl flood the market then
fresh lodge
Though for crafting we won't be getting any new gear for at least another 2 major patches
Maybe 5.3
twilit arch
assuming they decide to follow sb, should be 5.3 for the final BiS set for crafting/gathering
upbeat storm
so i should buy my combat materia now before price jump
fresh lodge
Combat materia is easy enough to farm that you shouldn't need to buy it
And you'll only be overmelding if you're wanting to rush the new Savage raid tier
timber fossil
it seems like you aren't endgame yet, you probably don't need to meld anything at this point. i would just wait till you get to max level.
upbeat storm
so price usually goes back down then?
I've seen prices on some stuff go up and stay up in other mmo
fresh lodge
Combat materia always goes back down in price
timber fossil
there are reliable ways to get materias
twilit arch
hunt trains are probably by far the best/easiest way to get 8s
fresh lodge
Combat materia is so abundant that it doesn't get that high in price
twilit arch
also easy way to cap tomestones if you don't want to do dungeons

Minor lore question, avoiding that channel for fear of spoilers. That cutscene with Midgardsmir in the legate's flashback during the envoy quest--is that something from the original game like Dalamud descending, or is it history?
crude relic
Pretty sure that was from 1.0, yes. If not then I'm sure someone will correct me eventually but Middy did intercept the stuff with a horde in 1.0 iirc.
gloomy ice
The Battle of Silvertear Skies happened over Mor Dhona 15 years before the start of 1.0.
crude relic
See, someone corrected me xD
near path
Ok. Wasn't sure what kind of timeframe the original game happened over.

Garleans attempted a direct invasion but Midgardsormr decided to get involved directly. He called forth a horde of lesser dragons and drove off the invasion force on his own but his physical body seemingly died in the fight

i'm not sure what's going on but i don't seem to find leves for DoL in ishgard

It's there something else I should work on before buying the Complete Edition? Am on Trial right now 35 on Paladin, with no interest of now to level up Alts or Crafting Characters
sleek pagoda
did i miss something i had to unlock or
gloomy ice
I think there’s an unlock quest for Ishgard leves. Near the aetheryte, up the flight of stairs nearby. The unlock quest should unlock all types of leves however. If DoL specifically is missing then iunno 😅
And if you’re at level cap for the trial version, there’s not much more to do or prepare for.

I don’t understand how damage is calculated in this game. I see people post in there fflogs that there total damage was like 13k for example but I when I use my black mage some of my ability do like over 50K
I’m confused about that
gloomy ice
It takes an average over three minutes I think?
raw solstice
their damage wasn't 13k, their damage per second is 13k
junior elk
Damage over time ?
raw solstice
that's what dps stands for
so basically it's looking at, here's how much damage you did in the encounter, the encounter lasted this long
and it just does that division
rough anchor
In which channel can I find people to queue with me for dungeons and trials?
stray saffron
you don't really need people to queue with you. this game's matchmaking is very robust. but i guess you would go to the recruitment channel for your datacenter
rough anchor
Yeah but I’d still rather wait 5 min than 30
Especially for the 8-man ones at lvl50
stray saffron
are we talking normal or extreme trials?
junior elk
That probably the msq dungeons
lyric warren
is the "preview Outdoor furnishings" all items in the game that can be placed outside?
rough anchor
Yeah MSQ
junior elk
is the "preview Outdoor furnishings" all items in the game that can be placed outside?
@lyric warren
Everything except old holiday event stuff that sold on the mog station
quartz shale
msq should queue up pretty fast, unless you're a dps class, then it might be a little slower
junior elk
Loads of ppl run msq cause of the moogle event, tho NA isn't in prime time yet
green grail
think it works on some adds but definitely not on bosses @lost sinew
junior elk
My queue was instant on sch yesterday right at supper time
lost sinew
tnx. figured it was too good to be true.

Palace of the dead is good to try job
wintry chasm

gloomy ice
All are viable. Just boils down to preference.
Pick whichever one you think is coolest lol
leaden ginkgo
Not suuuuure
junior elk
I really like dark, war can solo fate really well, I don't understand the pld casting phase, gun is not too complicated just have to be careful with superbolide and giving heart atk to healer
wintry chasm
So...do you want to know what they play like? You should really specify what you want from us exactly
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
Major differences between Dk and GNB
wintry chasm
GNB plays more like a DPS imo I guess and uses ammunition for certain skills. DRK has a gauge and has to manage it to use special skills and also have to manage MP to use other special skills
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
GNB is more comboy too
leaden ginkgo
Hmmm
slate arrow
GNB is the busiest and it has alright migitation
Takes the best parts of PLD and WAR and then nerfs them a little

Hi guys i have a question. If i get married for free can I pay for a paid marriage in the future?
Like, change the plan idk
I mean, i dont have money to pay rn so i just want to take the cheapest option. But if in the future i want to take the most expensive one, can i do that?
raven sage
I think you have to annul the marriage but yeah you can do that
somber thistle
Okay nice thank you
gritty oracle
Around how many Skybuilder Plywood would bring me 21-40? Or is leveling with the Firmament not efficient anymore?
obsidian patio
From what I heard leves are much more efficient until 40 or so
Since you grind less items
gloomy ice
As a follow up to the wedding question. If you wait a year and do the anniversary ceremony, you get the platinum plan options. Biggest downside is you have to wait an entire year to do it.
timber fossil
@gritty oracle lv21-40 requires 31,936,520 exp, assuming you reach 105+ rating on Skybuilder Plywood every single time, you'll need 218.0429 Plywood to get that EXP. This is ignoring all the exp you gained from crafting.
so probably, 200 Plywood
make sure to use engineering manual. even better with fc crafting exp buff.

where do i get the chocobo outfit?

Btw the vendors that have the same kinds of titles, junkmonger A1 and A2 for example, sell the same items. Those are just appearance options.

how can i get rid of this lil sprout next to my name? im not a new player work just caused me to have a extended amount of time away from the game but i heard there is a way to get rid of the sprout

wide loom
Aye how does the shadowbringer expansion work? is it something you can access at a certain level or does it change the whole game?
warm dove
very specific problem
I used my mouse software to make it so the mouse buttons press shift/alt to get easier access to my second and third hotbars
problem is when i press the mouse button + right click + use a ability it keeps automatically opening alliance chat
all my chat keybinds shouldn't be doing this so what gives
Edit: think it was a bug. I assigned and reassigned my hotkeys and it suddenly wasn't happening. huh.
gloomy ice
Some changes are seen and felt immediately but the meat of the new content follows along the main quest line. @wide loom
The new dungeons, trials, etc, are level 70+

Aight thanks bro

hey. is it possible to play with my friend who just started with ffxiv with my main charakteer and second job? can i do the same msq as him? or do i have to create a new charakter?
leaden ginkgo
How many beast tribes are there? o;
lyric warren
does the housekeeping node sell same stuff as a steward and hokonin?
obsidian patio
Pretty sure, yes
@leaden ginkgo in terms of ones you can do daily quests for, 12 currently
leaden ginkgo
Oh no not allowances for daily
scarlet arrow
@fast pond you can certainly do dungeons with him, but most of the MSQ is single-player
obsidian patio
Still 12 :p
leaden ginkgo
I meant in total of the tribes
open coral
@fast pond You won't be able to do the MSQ quests with him if you've already bypassed that point for yourself, but there's no reason you can't help him kill things in the world and do dungeons.
warm dove
most of the msq is solo
obsidian patio
The other two for ShB aren’t in yet
leaden ginkgo
Thank you so much
obsidian patio
Just the pixies for now
stray saffron
kobolds, amaljaa, sylphs, sahagin, ixal in ARR + 3 each for SB and HW + 1 so far for ShB makes 12 as of right now, but the 13th one will be out in a couple weeks with 5.2
leaden ginkgo
Thank you so much everyone~
warm dove
be warned the arr beast tribe quests are much more grindy
if you are after the mounts you can get a lot of the arr ones from this event instead
gloomy ice
They toned down the grind at or near the start of HW though. It’s still a little grindy. Just not four entire months grindy.
leaden ginkgo
It's there a way to disable or change the freaking Chocobo music when you mount up?
twilit arch
yes, in the audio section of the system settings
untic the "play music while mounted" option

@leaden ginkgo I stuck with that music for so long but one day you just get enough of it haha

Does our character actually talk later on?

your character doesn't have any voiced dialogue

Technically yes but not voiced.
dusty jungle
is adventurer in need once per day or can you farm it?
twilit arch
you can farm it
dusty jungle

marble drift
its not alot though. farming just it is not that lucrative
timber fossil
isn't the bonus just simply more gil and some gives more gc seals?
obsidian patio
Leveling and Alliance give materia tokens at 70+ but they’re not great to farm for that if you do hunt trains
timber fossil
oh yeah, the materia tokens

I was told the Valentines Day event is active, where do i start it?
slate arrow
it's in gridania
leaden ginkgo
Is it the Tomstone of Soldiery event?

yo
i need this little XP
what do i do, i've done all duty's expect from MSQ duty
wintry chasm
Whatever you want, not like you need JUST that amount
wintry chasm
It's not overkill when you still have to level imo
twilit arch
pixies might get you the level
wintry chasm
^
little crane
not overkill that way, it's just if there was a more fun way to get it
what's pixies?
what's the best way of leveling after you've exhausted all dutys?
at my level
little crane
aight
marble drift
eh...you could do a couple fates. maybe get a forlorn maiden to show up for some bonus. shrug
leaden ginkgo
What kind of stuff can you get from this Valentines Event? Can you get cosmetics for your armor/weapons?
timber fossil
beast tribe is probably the easiest. fates are too slow.
marble drift
you get a free valentine's day glamour set based on your gender
which the npcs are showing off.
leaden ginkgo
How do u get it?
twilit arch
complete the event quest
marble drift
just do the valentines day quests
leaden ginkgo
The ones that require Bard?
twilit arch
that's not the event quest
leaden ginkgo
Thats the only other quest in Gridania i have lol
I did the first valentines quest
Now theres no more
twilit arch
Did you vote for one of the choices?
leaden ginkgo
No, i never got an option lol
twilit arch
then you didn't finish it, you need to talk to the npcs and then vote for one of them

their quests are not shown with the typical blue cross
they look like basic sidequests

since despair is a single target flare basically

It gives astral fire 3 so how is it an ender?
dry glade
oof, ok, that would make at an ender
obsidian patio
It ignores umbral hearts
dry glade
ahh, yea, mp cost10000, it lets me cast if I'm not max mp?
slate arrow
it says all instead of 10000 since it consumes your remaining MP
you need at least enough for a fire1 at 0 fire/ice phase to cast it iirc
dry glade
all, mine says 10000 not all.
slate arrow
oh
obsidian patio
800MP at minimum

no i mean on the icon

ok, so 800 min, but it eats all my mp. Got it. Thank you.

Is there any mount that's just a horse? Not the legendary steed of anyone, doesn't leave sparks in its wake, has normal coloured fur? A normal, real horse?

normal olive
How do I change my nickname in this discord only
slate arrow
click off succubus, use regular skills
succubus doesn't deal a lot of damage by self

the one from the namazu quests is just titan's pony without effects
slate arrow
the damage comes from the vuln up stacks

Right click your name and edit user

Juedi, the reward for clearing the top floor of Heaven-on-High four times, is fairly normal-looking

red hare, from mogstation, is pretty normal looking too

Though it kinda falls under the whole “legendary steed” category
normal olive
Thank you
dry glade
hrm, ok, I"ll try without succubus form. Thank you.

I don’t recommend soloing if your Aetherpool isn’t above the sync. You really need all the advantages you can get

Are cross-skills still a thing with crafting?
twilit arch
no
gloomy ice
Nah that got axed recently. All crafting classes have basically the same kit.
rugged flicker
Someone was talking about them yesterday during that convo we had.
Also, are crafting souls pretty much pointless now?
twilit arch
you still get stat boost, and the specialist recipes still exist
gloomy ice
There are very few specialist recipes but the little stat boost is nice
rugged flicker
And you're still only limited to three souls?
gloomy ice
But changing them is fast and there's no more limits on doing so. Just cost.
jade quartz
There’s a limit of three changes per week still
But you’re not likely to exceed that
gloomy ice
Oh. Thought that was gone too. Apologies. 😅

Where can I get ilvl 430 jewelry?
obsidian patio
From the first three level 80 dungeons

Where do I go to trade that?

Yes, goetia gives i440 and Eden's Gate gives i450.
gloomy ice
Goetia is used at a vendor in Eulmore
rich bay
@near depot , complete the 5.0 MSQ and go to Eulmore.
Same for Phantasmorgia and (5.2) Allegory
untold ermine
When does Eulmore vendors and stuff open up? They keep telling me they aren’t open yet when I am on my level 80 job. Is it tied to MSQ progress post-Shadowbringers?
gloomy ice
Yeah. Need to clear the level 80 trial.
gloomy ice
Oh weird. They should be open now. They're all on the top floor with the aetheryte.
untold ermine
Some of then are
near depot
Is it called augmented facet gear?
untold ermine
But others are not. Maybe its just the gathering/crafting vendors or something I would have to go back and check
gloomy ice
Scrip vendors are for crafting and gathering, yes. As long as you can use the tomestone vendors however you should be good.
untold ermine
Also it says something about “contributing to the safety of insert zones” for some vendors. Is that FATE related?
gloomy ice
@near depot Augmented Facet gear is crafted gear that has been upgraded.
Yeah that's the Shared Fate rank thing. Max rank in all six zones unlocks the gem vendors in Eulmore and Crystarium.
little swift
@untold ermine this one is opened upon reaching rank3 on all the fate zones
near geyser
Can someone help me w/ pally skills?
Dunno what to use really or if a guide exists
I'm lvl 60
obsidian patio
Your main rotation for single target is Goring Blade combo followed up by two Royal Authority combos
near geyser
kk1min
obsidian patio
You’ll be using pretty much all of your skills except Shield Bash and Cover for the most part
obsidian patio
Fast Blade > Riot Blade > Goring Blade is the boring blade combo
obsidian patio
Read your tool tips :p
obsidian patio
Royal authority combo is the same but with royal authority at the end
near geyser
is the skill b4 that skill?
obsidian patio
Yeah
obsidian patio
Yep
obsidian patio
And your AoE combo for more than 2 enemies is Total Eclipse > Prominence.
near geyser
So rampart + sentinel if you begin taking burst DPS
slate arrow
yes
obsidian patio
You’ll want to keep Circle of Scorn + Spirits Within on cooldown too
A general tip is that for dungeons the hardest hitting parts are the trash pulls
near geyser
Yeah
So basically
keep circle spirits and f or f
on cooldown
clem as a panic
iirc shield lob is for pulling single targets?
Does this look fine?
slate arrow
yep
obsidian patio
You’ll want your role actions there somewhere, but yeah
near geyser
slate arrow
also that
near geyser
role actions?
slate arrow
action and traits > role
slate arrow
you should have all of them bound
since they all do useful stuff
like provoke is a more ranged shield lob oGCD for example
obsidian patio
Only one that isn’t vital is Shirk, which mainly only sees use in Extreme/Savage/Ultimate content
near geyser
Yeah
obsidian patio
But both Reprisal and Arm’s Length are great cooldowns to use for trash pulls
obsidian patio
You’ll probably have to move your mounts to another bar to make room eventually, but yeah
near geyser
Rip
slate arrow
personally i'd recommend just binding everything to 80
makes it easier and you don't have to shuffle your hotbar every time you get a new ability
slate arrow
yes
near geyser
Okay
well what would be the setup for that then?
Do the combos still stay the same?
slate arrow
combos stay the same however you have a magic phase combo every minute
near geyser
Idk where you'd fit all those binds
slate arrow
it's just spamming one button
near geyser

But you replace the second Royal Authority Combo with 3 Atonements

If you want to see how the skills are used in the opener to get an idea

is there a general rule to organizing your binds? like keeping the OGCD on a separate bar or just do whatever your comfortable with?
near geyser
Hm
slate arrow
for me all of the often used GCDs and OGCDs are on the first bar
obsidian patio
As long as it’s comfortable for you and you can do it without wasting time, pretty much anything works
obsidian patio
I see people rebind the movement keys to ESDF to have more button space around the left hand for actions
near geyser
God thats so unnatural

i use 1234qerfzxcv, shift, and ctrl for my buttons

i dont think im doing that lol

ESDF is wonderful and if you don't like it, you should feel bad

I'm not saying I don't like it
It would just be nuts to try to switch over to between different games
slate arrow
you mean it's terrifying right
near geyser
My muscle memory would constantly be confused
slate arrow
i've tried using other layouts but i quickly settled on 1234qerfzxcv
i can't use a controller worth shit lol
gloomy ice
Controller button maps are surprisingly intuitive. Just takes some time to adapt.
slate arrow
that's your rotation
near geyser
slate arrow
it's real simple
leaden ginkgo
anyone know whats good doh to start of with for just starting crafting
near geyser
Actually doesn't look that bad
slate arrow
you should omnicraft
near geyser
I feel like rotations on a sheet always look much scarier
slate arrow
they always do
leaden ginkgo
Industrial what is omnicrafting I'm new to the crafting stuff
slate arrow
leveling all 8 crafters
almost all have some overlap
which makes leveling one by one annoying as heck
near geyser
So basically
leaden ginkgo
A few questions.
- Can I play around with hotbars size, position without messing up my current build?
- As black mage, so I need to use the first fire and ice spells? Can I just remove those and stick to the strongest versions?
near geyser
and set up my bindings so that I have all the skills on here
in a way that makes sense
for rotations
slate arrow
no you level each one 5 levels at a time
you could cheese them til level 50 but it gets expensive once you get past 50
because materials
obsidian patio
You need to keep Fire 1, Blizzard 1 can be ignored at the higher levels though but it’s nice for emergencies
slate arrow
@near geyser you should have atonement on the same bar as your basic melee combo,
obsidian patio
Don’t worry, you get a trait that makes them instant cast
leaden ginkgo
But why fire 1 and blizzard 1?
obsidian patio
So it’s not that bad
slate arrow
fire 1 refreshes enochian
blizzard 1 also does the same but you're never in ice long enough to need to refresh it most of the time
near geyser

And last... what do the little lines mean on the thaumaturge chart? Sometimes it"] one line, sometimes 3

what do you switch the bindings for those
to
Whats already binded there
Or for pally will I even need to bother

stance, something i dont care, character, something i dont care
stance is bound to + for me

i just open the character menu via C

leaden ginkgo
3, sometimes 1
