stable herald
#

Yep yep

tribal sand
#

@stable herald Missed that. I may hold off on SMN until I have the kinks worked out. The rework is looking daunting.

warped nest
#

For SMN, you need to re-arrange some buttons for lvl 70-80

#

That's all afaict

#

It is not that daunting

tribal sand
#

I think my only three over 70 were SCH/SMN, DNC, and MNK. MNK was a long-time favorite but I burned out. DNC was fun for the expac.

#

Huh, that's fair.

stable herald
#

Oh. tbh, SMN is rather easy imo

warped nest
#

Yup

stable herald
#

imo, it got much more straight forward than say, in HW times

tribal sand
#

Huh, I might give it a try too then.

stable herald
#

HW was just a mad panic to keep DWT up

warped nest
#

SB SMN was not bad

#

ShB SMN is just clean AF imo

stable herald
#

True, But I'd argue SB SMN was messy. But this is a discussion for a diff channel

tribal sand
#

I'll play around with it on a dummy for a while, can't hurt.

#

MNK is the same as ever?

obsidian patio
#

For the most part, yeah.

#

They got a complete AoE rotation, though

tribal sand
#

Huh

obsidian patio
#

And can get 4 stacks of greased lightning

tribal sand
#

I think I remember reading that, kinda nice.

#

SAM is in the same spot? Sorry, last one before I hop on.

gloomy ice
#

SAM has improved dramatically since 5.0. Shoha is no longer a wonky mess. Now it's a part of your rotation. Feels pretty good.

tribal sand
#

Ugh, another to try, thanks.

#

I was hoping like half of them would be messed up so I could just jump into what was less.

#

leaden ginkgo
#

What makes a weapon glow?

#

I just got the blutgang

sterile ore
#

hello im new to hte game, still lvl 16, i got some question

obsidian patio
#

It’s weapon specific.

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there something special about glowing weapons tho?

iron sundial
#

As a new player, what would be a nice class to play? I've tried Thamaturge already.

stable herald
#

erm, it depends on what you enjoy tbh

sterile ore
#

im in this training quest where i have to dodge aoe highlight attack, so basically i just have to step away from the aoe highlighted area?

obsidian patio
#

Nah, just an aesthetic

iron sundial
#

Being top of the dps charts, haha.

obsidian patio
#

@sterile ore pretty much

sterile ore
#

but i still getting hit, even tho im outside the aoe

#

my connection is fine, pc is up to date, am i missing something?

obsidian patio
#

Thaumaturge/Black Mage is already one of the higher damaging DPS classes, if you can manage to move as little as needed

slate arrow
#

are you outside it when the circle goes away

#

or are you still in the circle when the circle goes away

#

if you're in the circle and the aoe goes away it snapshots

iron sundial
#

I thought so! I'll continue leveling the Black Mage, haha. But what about Archer?

obsidian patio
#

Middle of the pack, but they make it up group for damage and defensive group utility.

#

All classes are good, the damage difference between top and bottom is 10-15% at most

iron sundial
#

Gotcha. Thank you!

slate arrow
#

basically as long as you don't bring 4 dancers you're good

sterile ore
iron sundial
#

Oh, actually. One last question. Pugilist good? I heard that there were some 'meme' classes and was unsure which ones.

slate arrow
#

that's lag

#

all the classes are meme classes

iron sundial
#

lol

slate arrow
#

it's jobs which you're asking about and no

#

there aren't any meme jobs

jaunty matrix
#

is anyone from eu playing on na servers,hows the lag

iron sundial
#

Oh, right. They're called jobs, I keep forgetting haha.

slate arrow
#

it's manageable according to some friends but it's recommended you get a VPn for better latency

#

mudfish is a pretty reasonably priced one

jaunty matrix
#

I see ty

sterile ore
#

my ping is pretty low tho, connection is fine too, all my attack hit him no delay etc

jaunty matrix
#

i quit ffxiv during leveling cuz i got so tired of it before shadowbringers

#

now im thinking of coming back

stable herald
#

How much GP do you guys usually use up when gathering for scrips etc?

jade quartz
#

Have you actually pinged the servers Lena?

#

204.2.229.9 is the IP address for Aether.

jaunty matrix
#

212ms

#

oof

#

whats it for eu

slate arrow
#

anywhere from 600 to 800 depending on discirning eye procs

jade quartz
#

The game will be playable but you may not be able to perform an ideal rotation on many jobs.

little walrus
#

how do u lean on walls?

slate arrow
#

emote you buy from the ishgard restoration

#

or the marketboard

little walrus
#

uhhh whats that require me to do? XD

slate arrow
#

you craft collectibles for ishgard

#

you turn in collectibles for skybuilder script

#

you use scrip to buy rewards

little walrus
#

oof... i suck at crafting without losing a ton of money

slate arrow
#

you can just buy it off the marketboard

#

a bit a expensive but there's that as an option as well

jaunty matrix
#

Hey Lyon do u know the ip for the eu data center

little walrus
#

what is it called on the marketboard?

jade quartz
#

195.82.50.9 Chaos

#

Light is in the same location so ping should be the same

jaunty matrix
#

58ms

#

seems about right ty

#

i hate mog station

jade quartz
#

imagine having 2 digit ping

#

must be nice sad

jaunty matrix
#

cant even recover my password

stable herald
#

Guess I gotta start collecting them Cordials

jaunty matrix
#

site just gives an error

sterile ore
#

sleek peak
#

Am i going to take longer as a Gladiator going through ARR quests rather as if i was Lancer or any DPS class?

jaunty matrix
#

did they make leveling easier since shadowbringers came out

obsidian patio
#

You’ll probably go through it faster since you’ll have faster dungeon queues

#

Still the same speed pretty much, lemon

jaunty matrix
#

damn

leaden ginkgo
#

@sleek peak for the most part no. Solo stuff will be very un-noticeably slower. Overall MUCH faster because very short dungeon queues

sleek peak
#

I mean i remember leveling without the 100% buff back i nthe day and it was pretty rough at some points. The ARR is still as long and boring as before right?

jagged jungle
#

or like how many do i need for Gerlot?

obsidian patio
#

I think you still need 31 in total unless they nerfed it

fresh lodge
#

5/10/15

leaden ginkgo
#

@sleek peak I recently just started playing FFXIV for the first time and I main a Paladin (Gladiator at lower levels) and here is how I viewed the leveling process through ARR from that perspective: Gaining EXP, especially if you roll on a realm which gives an EXP buff, is insanely easy. To be honest, I had to split the EXP between a WAR and PLD just so I wouldn't get too far into the 50's while finishing the MSQ. Right now I am at the very end of the normal MSQ and only have the patch versions of ARR left and I find it a struggle to not heavily outpace everything in terms of EXP.

#

So, just pick whatever you want, because you will be drowning in so much EXP you might actually want to level a second job up if you want me to even somewhat on-level with the other expansions MSQ.

obsidian patio
#

The kettle can only hold up to 9 so make sure to go to the forge south of the geothermal studies to empty it out every now and then

sleek peak
#

Well now im trying to get lv5 gear

#

I forgot at all what i should do there lol

obsidian patio
#

Buy some from the nearby vendor

sleek peak
#

=o

#

Thanks lol

jaunty matrix
#

looks like i quit at lvl 61

leaden ginkgo
#

@sleek peak Also, one final thing. In my personal opinion the ARR MSQ does get a little tedious, but I highly recommend you stick it out. Once you get to the level 40 MSQ parts, the story really picks up and becomes a whole lot more engaging.

sleek peak
#

Well

#

I know its insanely long so i thought to skip the whole story and read it after i finish ARR

#

I hope theres some recap of ARR story somewhere apepetrash

jaunty matrix
#

is there any point of buying shadowbringers before i actually hit max level

#

i have everything except shadowbringers

slate arrow
#

you get access to the Gunbreaker and Dancer jobs

jaunty matrix
#

not really interested in those, anything else?

slate arrow
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

twilit arch
#

being able to fantasia into a viera or hrothgar

jaunty matrix
#

🙃

twilit arch
#

if that doesn't matter, than no there's not much point in buying shadowbringers now except not having to worry about buying it later

jaunty matrix
#

just dont want to waste my 30-40 bucks w/e incase i decide i dont want to play

#

well

sleek peak
#

Also werer there any mounts in this game that would help with progression speed?

slate arrow
#

no

#

the only mount that has a speed up boost by default is the fanfest 2018-2019 mount which you can get on mogstation

sleek peak
#

So chocobos have the same speed as walking on foot

slate arrow
#

what?

#

no

#

walking < running < peloton/any speed bonus < sprint < mount < mount upgrade speed 1 < mount upgrade speed 2 / flight

sleek peak
#

You get flying mounts in SB right?

twilit arch
#

acktually ability speed bonuses aren't the same but a bit of a moot point

slate arrow
#

you already have flying mounts

twilit arch
#

no, you can get flying in heavensward

slate arrow
#

however you can only fly in heavensward and onwards

jaunty matrix
#

do u still need to go pick up orbs in shadowbringers to unlock flying

slate arrow
#

yes

twilit arch
#

yes

#

they didnt change how aether currents work

dusk zenith
#

is it worth buying crafted level 50 DoH gear from marketboard?

#

or are the vendor ones good enough

slate arrow
#

just craft your own gear

#

once you have byregots it's ezpz

#

vendor gear sucks and you shouldn't get it at 50

#

instead wait until you're 51 so you can pick up the vendor stuff at ishgard

steep bloom
#

The Grand Company stuff is decent

#

If you've got spare GC seals for it

dusk zenith
#

i dont have any crafters leveled XD

#

ok ill go get the ishgard ones

upbeat storm
#

theres no way to get more glamour space is there

remote lintel
#

whats the best way to farm exp from lvl 46 to 50

gloomy ice
#

@upbeat storm In the glam chest? No, not at present.
@remote lintel Run a dungeon that's closest in level to you. Which would be Dzemael Darkhold for level 46.

upbeat storm
#

also why can glamour plates only be applied in main cities

#

seems like its a pointless restriction

gloomy ice
#

If you're a DPS however PotD might be faster.

fresh lodge
#

It applies to your current equipped gear

leaden ginkgo
#

Palace of the dead is arguably shorter if youre a dps and want it now IF you have access to it

remote lintel
#

im a tank

leaden ginkgo
#

And to the glamour plate thing something something combat something server resources

#

Yeah just do dzemael stronghold until 49 or do leveling roulette if you havent gotten the daily bonus

remote lintel
#

am i gonna have to run it like 20 times?

leaden ginkgo
#

Like at most 2

#

Maybe 3

remote lintel
#

wow

#

does it seriously give that much exp

leaden ginkgo
#

4 if you have like no rested xp

#

Dungeons are stupid good do early on

obsidian patio
#

Also depends if you have Road to 70 from preferred servers

leaden ginkgo
#

That too

#

Can I ask a question about end game stuff?

#

Potd can be a nice change of pace and at that level 2 runs of it offers close to 1/3 to 1/2 a level

#

Ye

#

Ask away

#

Unless its super spoilers or lore related then nu

#

Currently stuck at the virtues solo instance where you play as two people. I keep getting my ass handed to me as long hair'd hot boi

#

Is that not spoiler-ie enough?

obsidian patio
#

Quest name? not quite sure which instance you're talking about

whole wasp
#

We get it but you could just spoiler tag

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh 5.1 last quest

whole wasp
#

||estinien and gaius i think||

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah @leaden ginkgo

#

Yee I getchu

#

Whatd got you rekt, you not dodging/healing/limit breaking?

obsidian patio
#

Use Horrid Roar to kill the extra enemies that aren't the main boss

leaden ginkgo
#

Fuck

obsidian patio
#

Keep Drachenlance's DoT up, use Stardiver whenever it's up, and spam Ala Morn when those two things are good

leaden ginkgo
#

But I keep dying at ||Ultima ||

obsidian patio
#

are the extra enemies killing you?

leaden ginkgo
#

Are you getting your limitu breaku?

#

Yeah, a shit ton of AOE's and the fact I have never played|| DRG||

obsidian patio
#

use Horrid Roar to kill them

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm surprised you remembered the name of it lol

#

ok cool, I'll do that next time. I was literally just pessing shit XD

obsidian patio
#

i'm watching a video of it right now

leaden ginkgo
#

Ahhh

#

Dedication

obsidian patio
#

don't worry, the duty NPCs generally play nothing like the actual jobs

#

they're greatly simplified so anyone can quickly get a handle of them

leaden ginkgo
#

Like that dude and his silly carby in SB

#

hahah for real though

#

They even do the thing I wish theyd do where they just make the next hit of the combo the same button

#

But yeah gl on the fight

#

I really like that most times they have an NPC that will heal you

obsidian patio
#

The only adds I'm seeing that you'd want to not use Horrid Roar on is the ||Lembus Praetorianus|| but only one of those spawned according to the video I'm looking at

leaden ginkgo
#

Heh the last part of his name is funny

languid kernel
#

anyone that play with a controller know why when I have target select filtered to enemies, it will still target allies for some reason?

wintry chasm
#

What are you pressing?

obsidian patio
#

I think that only applies to pressing A/X along with left/right

languid kernel
#

move cursor/target cursor left

#

and right

sharp tapir
#

why is my enmity thing steaming now

wintry chasm
#

That's...an odd way to describing it. And do you actually have that target filter on?

obsidian patio
#

that may just be a weather effect

languid kernel
#

ya when my weapon is drawn, I have it set to only select enemies

obsidian patio
#

if you mean the thing to the left of the gauge

sharp tapir
#

naw

#

it's constantly steaming

#

no matter where I go

wintry chasm
#

And you've double checked your target filter settings?

obsidian patio
languid kernel
sharp tapir
#

yeah, it's flashing and smoking lol

#

but answer the controller question first, I'm just barging in

obsidian patio
#

Are you still a marauder?

wintry chasm
#

We can do both

sharp tapir
#

yes

obsidian patio
#

then that's why, you got the trait that fills up your warrior gauge, but you don't have the actual skill that spends the gauge

#

so it's in a weird state

wintry chasm
#

@languid kernel if you give me a few minutes I'm going to tinker around with that

sharp tapir
#

ohh

#

interesting

#

nice deducing, thanks

wintry chasm
#

Wow big brain Wynne

obsidian patio
#

AKA that means to get up to date on your class and job quests 😛

sharp tapir
#

yeah level 50

#

still marauder

#

gotta hit those bluequest soon

obsidian patio
#

should've been doing them asap, since they give you your job and the rest of your job actions

#

like the 2nd part to your aoe combo

sharp tapir
#

tru tru

#

I've just been using overpower for aoe and spamming that

wintry chasm
#

@languid kernel Works for me. When I get my weapon out left and right dpad only targets enemies

sleek peak
#

To what point in the story i can play on trial?>

wintry chasm
#

the level cap on the free trial is 35

#

so when the main story goes above level 35

sleek peak
#

Ohh

#

But i still get locked at lv35

wintry chasm
#

Right you can't level up past that

sleek peak
#

Since im on the 100% bonus server

#

So its a Level cap and Quest cap of lv35 ok thank

#

How many hours it takes to finish ARR

wintry chasm
#

Depends on you

#

Hard to really give a time since just speed of reading changes the answer so much

sleek peak
#

Well i skip story

wintry chasm
#

Well....

#

Much quicker

sleek peak
#

10 hours?

#

Or more?

warped nest
#

More

wintry chasm
#

I can't give you an answer in terms of hours but I remember I was on an alt and I was skipping through ARR on a preferred server and you could do it in....3-4 days if you wanted to and you didn't do much else

warped nest
#

Just traveling from locations to locations and doing dungeons will take time

wintry chasm
#

🤔

#

Yeah those are the killers

#

Especially if you are a DPS on top

sleek peak
#

When was the chocobo option availbalbe?

wintry chasm
#

because of the queue times

sleek peak
#

Im tank so no worry about dungeon

wintry chasm
#

To unlock mounts?

#

Or to get the chocobo to fight with you?

sleek peak
#

(Altho at 4 o clock it would be hard to get into a dungeon)

#

Mounts

wintry chasm
#

!faq mounts

zinc orbitBOT
#
Mounts FAQ
Info

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

sleek peak
#

Yea i forgot you can also use chocobo for fighting

warped nest
#

Even if you have instant queue

wintry chasm
#

TL:DR after you join a grand company

sleek peak
#

Free company was the guild system or NPC system?

warped nest
#

Clearing dungeons still takes time

wintry chasm
#

I typoed Bongus

#

reread

sleek peak
#

Mounts would speed the walking around the map chore i think

warped nest
#

We are talking about... Around 10 dungeons + 5-7 trials, give or take

wintry chasm
#

grand company is the city-state system thingy which I guess is the "NPC system"

sleek peak
#

Back when i played i had no idea there are mounts lol and got one around 50

languid kernel
#

it just happened

wintry chasm
#

Ah, you didn't head the warnings of "do your bluequest Bongus"?

#

Take your weapon out and screenshot @languid kernel

#

I might have an idea

languid kernel
#

oh wait im not drawn

sleek peak
#

So every bluequest is something useful?

wintry chasm
#

I thought you said you played with controller @languid kernel

#

It unlocks things so yes @sleek peak

sleek peak
#

The one with +

wintry chasm
#

General idea is to do your msq and bluequest

#

The only bluequest You can safely skip are the other class unlocks and the leve ones

#

Which are very obviously what they are

sleek peak
#

what was leve?

wintry chasm
#

A system thats only really good for leveling crafting and gathering

#

kinda like repeatable quests

obsidian patio
#

basically repeatable mini-quests

sleek peak
#

Actually im coming back from BDO after like 1.2k hours

#

And back when i was around 600 hours into BDO i found FFXIV to be 200x better than that trash. Now im kinda struggling since i never lpayed HS/SB/ShB

#

The Raids are still a big part of the game in the endgame right

wintry chasm
#

Yes

sleek peak
#

And the main endgame thing wasnt like "Spend more money to get more money"

wintry chasm
#

I'm not sure what part of not playing HW/SB/ShB makes you struggle

sleek peak
#

Which basically felt like a retarded chore in BDO...

#

@wintry chasm The part that i never played them

dawn nexus
#

Is there leveling gear in ffxiv?

wintry chasm
#

Like...xp boosting gear?

dawn nexus
#

Ye

wintry chasm
#

Kinda

dawn nexus
#

?

wintry chasm
#

If you finish hall of the novice for a role (like tank) you'll get a ring called brand-new ring that increases xp by 30% up to level 30

obsidian patio
#

there's nothing like the Heirloom gear of World of Warcraft, besides a single pre-order earring that you can't get anymore

wintry chasm
#

Aside from that the other xp boosting items are preorder bonuses you can't get anymore or other not great items like from the refer a friend

languid kernel
#

ok sry just finished dungeon. So i think whats happening is im accidently sheathing my weapon in the middle of combat

dawn nexus
#

K

languid kernel
#

so there is no problem

wintry chasm
#

I do have a question for you now though

#

I could have sworn you said you used controller

languid kernel
#

oh no i'm just using the same targeting as a controller

#

the circle target thing

wintry chasm
#

.....I....see?

languid kernel
#

when people tab target they dont have this bound normally, they bind these

#

which doesnt give you a circle

#

its also very inconsistent

#

like sometimes it wont go to the third enemy, just jumps between two

sharp tapir
#

uh

#

does repairing gear help with item level

#

I presume not right

obsidian patio
#

no

sharp tapir
#

got it

obsidian patio
#

Repairing technically only matters once your gear hits 0% durability, where it basically becomes an empty slot in terms of stats.

sharp tapir
#

yup

#

makes sense

#

do settlements and traders sell gear

#

or do I need to find a merchant

#

low on item level to do a duty

obsidian patio
#

vendors are marked on the mag with a bag icon or a bag+hammer

sharp tapir
#

thanks

sleek peak
#

Is there any FPS meter ingame or only the one in the settings window?

obsidian patio
#

only that one

sharp tapir
#

item level doesn't always share the same value at the level itself

#

correct?

obsidian patio
#

yes

sharp tapir
#

thanks

obsidian patio
#

it's the norm starting level 50

gloomy ice
#

From 50 onwards, your ilvl will ramp up dramatically while your character level will progress as normal.

sharp tapir
#

ai, thanks

#

need to find 41 more item levels

#

to hit 42

#

rip

#

damn this city don't sell any accessories

gloomy ice
#

40-50 accessories are either dungeon drops or crafted unfortunately.

upbeat storm
#

what is the point of commendations if you cant give people negative reviews

bright badger
#

Hi! I was wondering what WHM arm I should pick up at level 80 if I haven't beaten Shadowbringers yet

#

@upbeat storm no commendation is that

obsidian patio
#

I wouldn't worry about it yet. Just make sure you do the SHB healer role quests so you can get your starting level 80 gear set which includes a weapon

bright badger
#

Im just using Augmented Scaevan and my healing output is atrocious

obsidian patio
#

Are you still in the leveling story?

bright badger
#

Yeah, pre-patch content, just cleared ||that Well dungeon||

obsidian patio
#

You can spam run that for the weapon if you want

#

The guaranteed piece of class-specific loot at the end of an expansion leveling dungeon now includes weapons

bright badger
#

Oh neat

obsidian patio
#

The story should've also given you a coffer for a level 76 weapon which should beat out the augmented scaevan in stats

sharp tapir
#

damn, thanks Eton

#

so should I just run level 40 Duties and hope for better accessories

#

since I don't think I can craft

obsidian patio
#

you could try taking a look at the marketboard and see if there's generous people that have listed them at somewhat reasonable prices

#

just make sure to get ones that would be best for your class in terms of primary stat

sharp tapir
#

generous people on the market board lol

#

should I care about sub stats

#

like tenacity and such right now

obsidian patio
#

not until max level

sharp tapir
#

got it

#

where is the marketboard exactly

bright badger
#

The one at the top is the Clearpath and I am just not sure if it is better (or worth the money at least) compared to what I have now

obsidian patio
#

there's one in each main city-state. the closest one to an aetheryte is in limsa lominsa

#

it's much better if you're willing to spend gil on it.

#

though you'll replace it fairly quickly once 5.2 hits

sharp tapir
#

got it

bright badger
#

If it'll stop my party from dying

sharp tapir
#

was lookin for the icon

#

lol

#

so in order to put items on the market, I need to have a retainer

potent star
#

Until what level can I play the free trial? Some sources say 30 while others say 35? I just want to know where to stop with a class before moving on to the next one

sharp tapir
#

35

dim ridge
#

35

obsidian patio
#

talk to a retainer vocate in the city-states to get your two free retainers

little swift

dim ridge
#

the older stuff says 30 cuz it USE to be 30 way back when

sharp tapir
#

retainer vocate, ai

#

what do the green items mean again

potent star
#

Thanks, I appreciate it

sharp tapir
#

nevermind

#

unique

#

it says

obsidian patio
#

generally means dungeon gear, mastercraft crafting recipe, or unique

sharp tapir
#

got it, thanks

remote lintel
#

whoever said i would only need to do like 4 runs of this dungeon lied

bright badger
#

Oh yeah, also, do any of the SHB trials have glowy weapons like HW and Stormblood do?

mystic spindle
#

how do you even level a side job, fates suck

bright badger
#

Dungeons

#

Dungeons are fun

obsidian patio
#

@bright badger nope. the most recent set of crafted primal weapons, AKA the glowy ones, is Sophia

mystic spindle
#

dungeons didn't seem to give much at all except for the daily bonus

bright badger
#

@mystic spindle Can depend on your level. Early levelling, dungeons can net 2-3 levels per run

#

Under the right conditions

mystic spindle
#

i just started a sam a couple days ago

#

Eat an egg

mystic spindle

Talk to any culinarian in any citystate for a 3% exp boost

#

Eggs are like 5 or something gil a piece, Boiled Egg is what you want

remote lintel
#

I'm lvl 47

#

so

bright badger
#

3% increase is 3% more than you had before

#

Give your EXP bar no quarter

#

Since you're 47, you've outleveled DD. Aurum Vale is next at level 47.

#

Iirc Aurum Vale is a bluequest dungeon

when do you outlevel aurum

#

Hey guys, what is the easiest way to get crystal sand?

#

Also quite confused how scrips work as I don't have a DoL

gloomy ice
#

If you have a crafter or gatherer you can buy one of the items used in the exchange with scrips. If not, Ishgard leves are probably your best bet.

#

Crafting/gathering scrips are basically poetics for crafters and gatherers.

#

Certain turn ins give scrips which have their own shop

winged shuttle
#

I see

#

Would you recommend large-scale leves or the normal ones?

obsidian patio
#

normal leves

#

all you need to do is search in the green circled areas for treasure coffers, grab any that appear, abandon the leve, and start it back up

winged shuttle
#

oo

gloomy ice
#

Anyway the thing I would do would be one particular 58 leve. Dance, Magic Dance. It'll take you to the Hinterlands. Start the leve and do a quick sweep for a treasure chest. No chest, abandon leve and restart.

obsidian patio
#

from my personal experience my drop rate for the amber vilekins is around 20-25 or so out of 100 leves

winged shuttle
#

Alright thanks guys 🙂

dusk zenith
#

do treasure hunts give a lot of gil?

obsidian patio
#

the higher level maps do due to the treasure dungeons, the lower level ones not really

dusk zenith
#

whats considered the higher level maps?

obsidian patio
#

Dragonskin/Gazelleskin/Zonureskin

#

@weary umbra Serious questions only.

#

And I know that's not a serious one since you asked it in other channels.

weary umbra
#

i am serious

dusk zenith
#

ohh okay

#

i just looked at the hunt level and they seem to be all party-based

#

are the solo ones not worth doing?

obsidian patio
#

for the most part, yeah.

dusk zenith
#

ohh okay

#

would everyone in the party need the map?

obsidian patio
#

maps are per-person. as long as you're in the party with the map owner everyone can participate

dusk zenith
#

and everyone can get the rewards?

obsidian patio
#

yeah, some are randomly distributed and some the party rolls on

dusk zenith
#

ohh

#

where can i find parties to join?

#

to do treasure hunts with

obsidian patio
#

party finder. the icon should be the treasure chest

dusk zenith
#

okay thanks a lot!

obsidian patio
#

the general etiquette for treasure maps is that the map owner rolls need as a priority unless they don't want the item

#

with everyone else rolling greed

#

or you could do free for all where everyone can roll need

sharp tapir
#

so just did 8 man party, my enmity was always green

#

was the other tank taking the brunt of it all

#

couldn't tell since it was chaotic

obsidian patio
#

sounds like it

#

probably had better overall gear

after beting 3 phases of that eikon slayer

#

wait

#

🤔

#

I dc'ed

#

came back in

#

and duty was completed

gloomy ice
#

Happens sometimes. Nothing to worry about.

sharp tapir
#

ok

#

wow

#

so I presume

#

I was at the end anyways?

gloomy ice
#

Yeah and you got back in before you timed out of the duty naturally so whatever works.

sharp tapir
#

interesting

#

well can't complain, don't have to re-do it all, was about an hour

#

anyways thanks

#

btw what is this icon

#

besides me name

gloomy ice
#

Sharing duty. Means someone is doing the same activity that you are.

sharp tapir
#

wouldn't that mean everyone in party?

gloomy ice
#

Well sort of. I’m actually not 100% on it as the description is awfully vague and that’s the only thing I’ve been able to observe about it.

Question for paladins: should I be spamming total eclipse in mobs? If so, what number of enemies does is necessary to make spamming it worth it?

obsidian patio
#

3 mobs and higher is the general point for most classes to where your aoe rotation is better than your single target rotation

gritty oracle
#

Does anyone know where the S tribe lives?

wintry chasm
#

No

indigo orbit
#

AFAIK the only miqo'te tribes that have established locations are the U and M tribes.

wintry chasm
#

I think one or two others have kinda been established into societies but that's something aid have to check in on with @jade quartz

glad cliff
#

I have seen some pictures that some retainers dropped regular fantasia potions,not retainer versions, does anyone know if this is a thing, what are the chances and if it depends on their job, if it has to be DoW or DoL etc.

obsidian patio
#

never heard of it

wintry chasm
#

^

#

Not a thing

glad cliff
#

it may be a meme too

#

I cant be sure

wintry chasm
#

Who knows

glad cliff
#

I dont think it would be a thing since its a mog station item only , but regardless I wanted to ask 😛

rough anchor
#

I just got to HW, should I switch my free teleport spot from revenant toll to ishgard?

obsidian patio
#

I'd say so, you'll teleport there a decent amount during HW

little crane
#

I need some space, what do I do?

rough anchor
#

Dump some of that on your retainer, first of all

#

I doubt you need to be carrying all those paints and materias

little crane
#

Yea they're taking up a lot of space

#

But a lot of them are lower level so I wonder what I should do with them

obsidian patio
#

I'd personally just sell/junk all the HP and MP potions

#

you can buy those MSQ housing items back from vendors

#

(The music thing, banner, and sketch)

little crane
#

What about those broken things at the bottom right?

obsidian patio
#

most of the dungeon musics are worthless, even if you restore them

#

so junk or see if they sell decent

dusky nest
#

That kinda applies to all of those items. See if they are worth anything

obsidian patio
#

I'd also sell most of the materia below tier 6

#

Marketboard sell, not vendor sell. the lower grades for combat are still used in the zodiac relic

#

so they can sometimes sell decently

dusky nest
#

Alternatively you can also transmute stacks of worthless materia for a chance to get some crafter/gatherer ones that can sell decently

obsidian patio
#

you also got a bunch of different types of food when you probably only need a crafter one, gatherer one, combat one, and filler one just for the experience boost

#

I see sacks for palace of the dead, you can open those up at South Shroud by talking to the bishop near the entrance

#

you can also spend those potsherds for materia/minions/ a mount with E-una-kotr

heavy oracle
#

Is there a way to disable error messages?
Like "Cannot use while casting" and that annoying error beep...

obsidian patio
#

Character Config and it should be somewhere within the first category or in the log settings

proud willow
#

Yep! Character Configuration - Log Window Settings - Display error messages when actions fail & Display recast timer error messages (uncheck both)

heavy oracle
#

I guess its that one right? ^^

obsidian patio
#

also recast timer error

Anyone here expert on getting controllers to work? Ive been using a PS4 controller at times, but the X button is now all mashed. So i've plugged in my xbox1 controller, its read by the game, but no commands are being sent. It also works perfectly on any other game, calibrations in steam etc

wintry chasm
#

Do you have the game set to controller mode in game?

#

Go to character config and look in the top left

unkempt sandal
#

Yes

wintry chasm
#

Uhh

unkempt sandal
#

had to actually uninstall and reinstall drivers and reboot PC for it to load up properly 😐

wintry chasm
#

Load up?

#

You're losing me

unkempt sandal
#

seems steams controller config wasnt giving the right type to ghe game. after uninstalling and rebooting the computer, it now loaded up with a different controller profile than before

wintry chasm
#

Oh...so it works now?

unkempt sandal
#

yeah

wintry chasm
#

Steam controller stuff always confused me tbh

unkempt sandal
#

yeah, at first it loaded "xbox one controller profile" then after rebooting and resetting drivers, it loaded up that wierd ass nickname profile that seems to be made by someone else 😛

leaden ginkgo
#

I heard if i buy stormblood i will get heavnsward with it

dusky nest

yes

but i would buy shadowbringers to get every addon

leaden ginkgo

Good

#

That was my question

light junco
#

dang

#

How do I fix this

rough anchor
#

Does the XP from discovering a new location scale with level or is it a static amount?

#

Say, I have a 66 GNB and 3 conjurer, could I skyrocket the latter by running around new areas?

Can u set a keybind to unlock bars? I want to hide the first one ^^

green grail
#

don't think so

slender furnace
#

is there a general rule of thumb about the order in which on should get items with tomestones when reaching lvl 80 ?

green grail
#

weapon > replace lowest ilvl

whole wasp
#

weapons first then chest/legs then other armors then accessories but lowest ilvl first definitely

slender furnace
#

okay thanks

open coral
#

I usually do weapon > ring > chest/legs > head/hands/feet > waist/neck/wrist/ears (for level > 70), with priority on lowest ilevel within those categories.

Drg right side is slaying not fending right? The auto rec keeps pushing me to use fending accs MiqoteDepressed

open coral
#

Yes. Slaying.

rare sable
#

Thanks >.<

#

Probably due to some ilvl differences? @rare sable

So, this callback campaign currenty running - you can only invite people already on your friend's list, right?

leaden ginkgo
#

So can i do a life hack where i buy the expansion keys for pc and activate them on pc so i can later on play on my console ?

rare sable
#

it only rec fending over slaying if the fending piece is higher ilvl, it doesnt if same ilvl

#

wintry chasm
#

If you want to play expansions on PS4 you have to buy it for PS4

#

You can't buy the expansion for one...uhh, "console" and use it for all the others

#

@swift forum or free company

swift forum
#

And uh... is there any way to contact friends or FC members without logging in?

hot eagle
#

discord if u got a channel for your fc xD

wintry chasm
#

^ xD

swift forum
#

Pretty sure the whole FC fell somewhat apart and the discord channel has vanished to the void even if some members might still be in it

#

Honestly, I'm not sure if it's gone or they just removed me for not being active >_>

#

I'm SOL with no friends I could contact outside the game - but then it IS only 7 days of playtime so eh, it would be more of a reward to them anyways (and only if I buy a sub for a specific amount of days IIRC)

stable herald
#

Wow. Just a heads up for anyone levelling their DoLs like I am, GarlandTools lets you make a neat lil list of nodes to hit up. So it's a rotation of sorts. Used it in between void ark queues and got my BTN fron 63 to 66 p painlessly

#

Even comes with nice lil alarms to let ya know

#

I just dont know how to level FSH

#

Is it just grinding fishin spots?

green grail
#

pretty much

stable herald
#

Oh, and the appraisal system thing. Do you just appraise till you hit your target before collecting?

green grail
#

try getting the leve fish, but for the most part it's gonna be like 75% fish exp and 25% leve exp

stable herald
#

Alrighties

#

Im not sure if aiming for collectibles on FSH is worth the effort?

#

But regarding collecting, there are just 4 main buttons, right?

#

The x 0.8 to 1.5 or x 1 appraisal

#

And the one that there be no wear and another to double the appraisal?

sick idol
#

now i don't know how to get item lvl

stable herald
#

Item level is just the ilvl of ur gear

#

If you could open your char screen, you can see a blue number

sick idol
stable herald
#

You raise it by getting better ilevel gear

#

Top right

#

The 0160

sick idol
#

you mean that ?

open coral
#

That's your recommended gear.

#

It tells you what the "best" gear in your armory is.

stable herald
twilit arch
#

you need better accessories, since the accessories you earned for your warrior aren't good for dnc

#

how far into the msq are you

sick idol
#

what is msq ?

twilit arch
#

main scenario quest msq

stable herald
#

Main Story Quest

open coral
stable herald
#

Oh. Scenario =X

proud willow
#

He's trying to queue for Antitower, so he has access to Idyllshire

sick idol
twilit arch
#

oh fair, then i'd say buy some shire accessories in idyllshire

open coral
#

Since you're at that point, you can purchase Shire gear from the vendor in Idyllshire.

sick idol
#

how can i buy item ?

proud willow
#

there's a vendor in the main building of Idyllshire who sells Shire gear in exchange for Poetics

open coral
#

Using Tomestones of Poetics

proud willow
#

the center vendor

sick idol
#

i will try to found it

open coral
#

Go into the big building in the middle of Idyllshire.

#

Speak to the NPC behind the center desk.

proud willow
#

Shire is item level 260, you will be able to go through all the rest of post-Heavensward easily with those

sick idol
#

can you give me pic for that place pls 😦

open coral
#

Make sure to purchase gear from the DoW II category.

sick idol
#

thx

#

work it's unlkock now thx ❤️

onyx kiln
#

how far into ShB can i go with partly Scaevan armor?

#

got all but belt, boots and accesories in that set

#

rest is things from ShB

whole wasp
#

you should start getting replacements by lvl 75 dungeon (QR). its possible to go all the way to 80 with it but at least replace with dungeon gear if they are better

strong falcon
#

about the machinist, there is a way to regain gauss round and ricochet charges? O,O

onyx kiln
#

yeah, Hypercharge

#

Once you have at least 50 heat, you can use it and you will be able to use the skill Heat blast, this one will speed up the cooldown of both gauss round and ricochet

#

at that time you can pretty much spam heat blast followed by those 2 skills and then rinse and repeat for 10 sec

strong falcon
#

that mean a shit tons of OGCD right?

onyx kiln
#

sadly no, if you use any other skills then heat blast will go into a slower cooldown.

cosmic pilot
#

What's the latest and most effective way to make money? I want to raise new jobs but don't have enough funds

onyx kiln
#

not sure for ShB but what you want to do is use wildfire>Hypercharger>Heat blast>Gauss Round, Richochet> and then continue that circle for the duration of the boost

#

@cosmic pilot you do get a neat som just by leveling jobs through dungeons

cosmic pilot
#

True true. I think it's bad habit of mine to get the best gears from mb every time I reached the required level for next set

#

and for 20 below it's better to do PoTD for leveling, right?

onyx kiln
#

never done the PoTD so not sure but i used to just do Hunting logs, FATEs and challange log enteries. Roulette is also a good option as it gives a small bonus for what you do

cosmic pilot
#

Oh yeah, those too

#

So other than selling mats and treasure maps to MB, what other ways to make gil? I only got Miner though

little swift
#

Potd is better for dps when thr queue is shorter. Its best to do your roulettes then spam the highest lvl available lvling dungeon. Sub 20 you could argue potd would be more efficient but its pretty quick to get to 16 for roulettes with the other stuff available

#

Miner can grab stuff that's marketable but its all dependent on your server

#

If you hace access to tomes of goetia you can use those to purchade crafting materials as well

cosmic pilot
#

True true, I still having a hard time to actually found materials that will sell. Cause "demand" sort is basically just people who favorite an item which is not really a good indicator to farm said mats

#

I forgot where to get those 😂

hot eagle
#

u can check on the MB how often a item sells too, the favorite and ❤️ stuff isn't rly a good indicator for it

cosmic pilot
#

Sale history?

civic ferry
#

not sure if this is the place to post this but im having a werid graphical issue in limsa, little white dots in lines flickering in a straight line and i was wondering if any one else has had this issue

hot eagle
#

yeah it's the best indicator for it, item x can be a favorite from like 100 people but only sells like 1 item every few months, so favorite doesn't rly help much

#

and run your daily roulettes too gives u some gil too even if it isn't much but sums up after a while

cosmic pilot
#

What's actually the best indicator to know which item I need to farm more? I mean, there's thousands of items and it'll be a moot point to check each one of em for it's sale history until we found a good one

whole wasp
#

you could look at latest crafting recipes and see whats common

cosmic pilot
#

@hot eagle Yeah, most of the time it gives more to preferred jobs which is tank like 80% of the time. I do like Tank but sometimes I forgot a dungeon's mechanics 😂

whole wasp
#

else, crafting reagents are always in demand

cosmic pilot
#

@whole wasp Wdym? and I only got MIN for now

whole wasp
#

the crystals/shards etc for crafting

cosmic pilot
#

Hmm..

whole wasp
#

theres aethersands too i think that only DoL can get

hot eagle
#

nothing else u can rly do as to check your mb and see how often something sells since u can't say item x is worth it it changes from server to server and from patch to patch

#

like when new crafts come out and need old stuff which was worthless before since nobody needed it

cosmic pilot
#

Is there a sort for it?

#

sort option*

hot eagle
cosmic pilot
#

Wow, thanks for taking the troubles of ss it, appreciate it.

hot eagle
#

can't do better screens atm since im on ps4 and didn't want to copy from ps4 to PC, so used my phone

cosmic pilot
#

It's cool, I appreciate it so much. Thanks

#

So, maybe sort the mb based on quantity and check it's sale history?

#

Cause without a first sort, it's like looking for needle in big haystacks

whole wasp
#

Rising, for example

#

if you look at a recipes, you can sort of notice which ingredients might be in high demand, gather those to sell etc

#

if you aren't max level, then you have to trawl the MB for something you can gather

hot eagle
#

after a while it's more of experience so u know what is usefull to sell and in demand and yeah can be a pain when u start out with it and got like 0 experience with the stuff + with worldvisit it can change rly fast too

patent cave
#

ocasionally in combat it'll change to a friendly target without me pressing anything unusual

#

any ideas why?

#

oh it could have been me pressing ctrl

#

wityh my keybinds bound to numpad

radiant brook
#

so the off tank should have the tank stance turned off?

patent cave
#

^^

#

ive not even played tank, but tank stance draws more threat

#

i believe the damage stances doesnt decrease your defensive abilities

green grail
#

depends on the content but for stuff like innocence ex where you constantly voke-shirk, it kinda doesn't matter and you can keep it on

#

unless your damage is bad then the other tank can catch up

patent cave
#

unless you're picking up adds

#

keep it on then

green grail
#

but generally if you don't need it then don't use it

serene elbow
#

if my teammate cast barrier. will it effect whole alliance A B C or my alliance only ?

twilit arch
#

AoE healing spells only affect your party

exotic kite
#

so im comming from console to pc, my question would be if there is anyway to port settings over. such as gear sets and ui setups?

rich bay
#

To add to it, defensive (tank/healer) Limit breaks also only affect your own party in Alliance raids.

twilit arch
#

you can back up your settings at the login screen @exotic kite

serene elbow
#

same for revive member ? other alliance can't revive my alliance ?

twilit arch
#

they can

#

Raise is a single target spell

exotic kite
#

okay cool thanks

green grail
#

you can, single target heals and actions can affect anyone

rich bay
#

They can, but not via LB.

serene elbow
#

so any healer spell work on anyones but not LB ?

#

bit confusing

twilit arch
#

no

#

Area of Effect Healing spells do not work on other alliances

green grail
#

single target works on your target

any target

Single target healing spells can work on anyone in the instance

and limit break counts as an aoe res

oh.. how about the barrier that whm cast ? i dont know what its called

green grail
#

the bubble? it's party-only too

#

asylum

serene elbow
#

i see

#

thank you

twilit arch
#

basically, if it says "target" in the skill description, you can use it on your party or alliance

#

if it says "target party member" or "you and your party", it will not effect other alliances

I've heard buying things with GC Seals and selling them on market can be good gil, but I have no idea what kind of stuff the GC sells that is in demand - is there a pretty commonly accepted in-demand item to spend extra seals on?

strong citrus
#

It depends as it changes, but you can look at what is selling on the marketboard through the transaction history.

Take a look at the market board on your server to check what sells well

Just to make sure I'm not doing something wrong. At level 64-66, doing levequests from the ground up takes an hour or more

I think it was the level 64 levequest

#

The problem is I can't quick synth the precrafts. They fail too often. I guess my gear is too suck. So I have to create a 40 durability rotation and craft each one, which takes a long time

whole wasp
#

Ouch. I just walked to the market. Bought 24 leve turnins gear and clicked to level.

#

I only have 800k gil

#

People know they can make money off levequest turn ins so that stuff gets expensive

whole wasp
#

Rip. MiqoteDepressed

sturdy mason
#

even buying the precrafts is expensive. like 5k a pop

#

I'm OK with spending time. I just want to make sure this is "normal"

hot eagle
#

u could ask your fc if u got crafter in it if they help u since at lvl 80 u can do most crafts till 70 with 2-3 steps to 100% hq

#

would help u if u were on omega but sadly u aren't

sturdy mason
#

I guess I've been avoiding that because I keep telling myself the crafting system wasn't designed to be too hard to be self-sufficient. But it turns out I'm wrong.

Good morning everyone, is there is discord server for eureka?

@copper hull If they're online, you know their server, and you're on the same datacenter, you can server visit then do a player search for them.

alright thnx 😄

Hi, i played this game for a good while in late 2019, however something that bothered me back then and still do (as i do wish to return to this game) is are there any co-op content? i know there are plenty of stuff to do with people but is there anything to do with a friend? i used to play this alongside a friend however instead of playing together we ended up just going through the story at our own pace and the game (at least from what i remember) never introduced something you can do with a friend.

scarlet arrow
#

the MSQ is still primarily a solo experience

rustic moth
#

msq?

#

Main Scenario Quest (story)

rustic moth
#

ohh thanks.

scarlet arrow
#

you can certainly do dungeons and trials together as they come up and craft for each other if that's your thing

rustic moth
#

We both own the game and all expansions and my friend even managed to reach the very start of Heavensward.

whole wasp
#

msq cursorleft those

rustic moth
#

I was not too far behind.

#

@whole wasp I just did everything alone lol...

scarlet arrow
#

but the msq quests remain filled with solo-only content

#

with every odd level or so unlocking a new dungeon (heavensward and onward)

rustic moth
#

I do know that the story writing and gameplay gets a significant improvement after finishing the base game story, was kind of hoping for something different after the base game.

scarlet arrow
#

no the structure remains the same throughout

green grail
#

you can do the uhhh seasonal valentines 2-person maze/minigame

rustic moth
#

but that's an event, i was thinking of something more permanent.

#

But still thanks.

#

there's also Palace of the Dead/Heaven-on-High

#

treasure maps

rustic moth
#

I see.

scarlet arrow
#

Eureka if you're interested in Stormblood relic weapons

#

(and the new Eureka-like mechanic for Shadowbringers if they go that route)

#

the co-op content is out there, but there's a significant amount of solo content to go through to get to it

thorny scaffold
#

The way I explain this to my friends, is playing through the game from the beginning with friends is kind of like reading the same book together with different copies.. You both have the same experience, you pay attention to your page and work at your own pace. You'll hit points though where you can experience things together, such as dungeons, but have other points where you need to solo content to progress. The end goal is to finish the book, and talk about it together, and this is where you'll hit the grinding/farming part of the game. So don't get discouraged that you have separate content to do most of the time first, you're still reading the book!

oh you can also do all of the gold saucer content together

Squadrons are a feature of Grand Companies.

Let me see if we have a faq for them.

Grand Company FAQ
Info

'Which Grand Company should I choose?'

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you chose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here are two links leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies

Lieutenant
Elite

'How do I get Grand Company Seals?'

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in for more seals.

@strong falcon That should get you started, I think.

#

Maybe not, the guide seems to have been deleted.

#

Uh.

#

If you're 2nd Lieutenant with your grand company, you should have a bluequest available in their headquarters to unlock squadrons.

strong falcon
#

WOW, thanks mate 😋

#

Ah, oops xD

#

But what is squadron basically?

open coral
#

There are two types of missions - one where you send four recruits out on an independent mission similar to retainers, and one (which is unlocked after a certain point) where you can take three of your squadron members into a dungeon, similar to Trusts in Shadowbringers.

#

Squadrons are a team of NPCs that you can recruit by completing various types of content (it's random whether completing content will actually recruit one).

strange prism
#

the separations with buil-in doors can be change to never open and fuction as a wall?

open coral
#

You then level them through the missions that I mentioned in return for various rewards like usable items that will give you individual buffs comparable to FC buffs.

green grail
#

no @strange prism

#

there's wall partitions, without doors

strong falcon
#

So squadron needs some investment to be usable

#

Should i just potd to lvl a class?

#

Otherwise, does dps have long queue time for shb dungeon ? Holminster, dohn Meg, etc?

hot eagle
#

dps has longer que`s for like 95-99% of all content so even in shb, only when shb came just out u were faster as dps as a tank because of gnb and the many new 2/3 week tanks

scarlet arrow
#

well shadowbringers dungeons have trusts

#

which is like taking a squadron into a dungeon except with competent AI

hot eagle
#

and yeah shb dungeons got the trust option usefull for dps, but with trust the dungeons take a lot longer too

#

but probably faster as to wait 20min or longer to get even in

twilit arch
#

if queues are 15+mins, then trusts are better than waiting

scarlet arrow
#

and the reason they take longer is because trust tanks don't grab multiple groups

#

so your holy spam isn't as efficient xD

twilit arch
#

trusts are going to take 30mins~, regardless

#

You can force them to grab more mobs, but they don't use aoe spells (barring the few that are naturally aoe in y'shtola's rotation)

scarlet arrow
#

on the flip side they don't really screw up boss mechanics

crude relic
#

What's up with this twist of fate buff I just got? o-o is it tied to the shared fates?

twilit arch
#

they introduced bonus fates, as well as the forlorn/maiden with stormblood

#

fates in stormblood and shadowbringers zones have a chance of spawning a monster called either The Forlorn Maiden or The Forlorn which will give you the twist of fate buff that increases the experience gained from the next fate you do by either 50% or 250%

tardy patio
#

how flashy is MCH at 80? Its missing some upgraded abilities so its mostly just standing there stiff-legged shooting a bullet every 2.5 seconds

#

but I know the upgraded moves are massively different animations? If its like bard though they'd still be kinda statue-y

green grail
#

the basic combo gets upgraded to backflips and somersaults above 60

#

so it looks way flashier

#

you can watch the shadowbringers job action trailer

tardy patio
#

Ah good idea, altho I wouldnt know whats a 2 min CD and whats a basic ability you see often

#

Do they stack sksp or have a natural haste booster? Or is it like drg where all recasts are ~2.4s?

green grail
#

there's almost no boring animation in the mch segment paissapeek

#

hypercharge at 50 gauge lets you spam a 1.5s gcd heat blast 5 times while weaving ogcd charges that you're getting from the heat blasts

#

it's like, 40% super fast and high cpm, and 60% spamming your combo, using drill and air anchor on cooldown and deploying the queen automaton

crude relic
#

The majority of their abilities are an instant cast from what I've seen and played with the exception of the Flamethrower and Bioblaster which might either be a channeled cast or just a regular cast time, haven't tinkered around with that stuff too much yet tbh.

green grail
#

bioblaster is an instant cone, flamethrower is useless but yeah a channel

tardy patio
#

Got it. Sounds like it's got a different flow than what im used to then. I usually play drg + blm at 80 which are both (outside of leylines) very fundamental jobs without any major tricks or speed boosters

#

Ill give it more of a shot if leveling to 70 wont take me a month of roulettes from like 50

stray saffron
#

flamethrower is not useless

green grail
#

if you played a non-gnb tank then hypercharge is kinda like an inner release/delirium/requiescat, except fast

#

and gauge based

stray saffron
#

the AOE priority is bioblaster > auto-xbow > flamethrower > spread shot

tardy patio
#

I have used and learned hypercharge but I dont really play tanks aha. I do have GNB at 80 though

stray saffron
#

you flamethrower to avoid casting spread shot when both hyper and bio are on cd

#

but it's a gain to interrupt it with either action that's above it in priority

green grail
#

I mean, it's still at a super shit potency which makes it a loss to use all of the channel

stray saffron
#

no it isn't

#

at all

#

flamethrower tics once per second, not once per 3 like every other dot

static yacht
#

Mch in savage is literally melee dps without positionals

#

In savage flame thrower can be throne out during phase change for a single tic of damage before boss is targettable

tardy patio
#

Sounds like I'd dig mch then, most of my playtime is on melee. I did want to try something more flashy and movement-free though. NIN was my runner up

green grail
#

yeah, it ends up being the same potency as spread shots in the same amount of time, and you don't get heat from it

#

quite useless lol

static yacht
#

Movement free being

green grail
#

at 100 potency per tick it's there for variety or to rest your fingers

stray saffron
#

spread shot: 180 potency / 2.5 seconds

flamethrower is 250 potency in the same amount of time.

#

this is really simple tooltip math

tardy patio
#

less strict positionals or ability to run around the boss instead of being glued to their butt

static yacht
#

You dont need to move in order maximize is basically brd or mch

stray saffron
#

100 potency per tick, 1 tick per second is 250 potency per gcd

green grail
#

it's not simple tooltip math because you didn't factor in the heat gain that lets you use a way stronger auto crossbow

#

just ask the balance

static yacht
#

You get autos during spread shot tho

#

Depends on how fast shit dies

stray saffron
#

from #mch-resources in the balance:

Should I use Flamethrower?
Yes for AoE, except if the fight is about to end and you have to choose between Flamethrower and Hypercharge, then Hypercharge wins out.

What is the AoE priority?

  1. Bioblaster 2+ targets
  2. Auto Crossbow 3+ targets
  3. Flamethrower 2+ targets
  4. Spread Shot 3+ targets (2+ targets below lvl80)
#

if there is some other secret source to which you are privy, you should post it

static yacht
#

If its dungeons sure but if you are trying to optimize dungeons might as well try to optimize open world trash at that point

stray saffron
#

what....

dusk zenith
#

which crafterers are in the most demand?

static yacht
#

Im saying in savage you barely ever need to use aoe rotation

stray saffron
#
  1. not all AOE situations occur in dungeons
  2. you should be optimizing all the time
  3. you should know what to do in an aoe situation
#

that sucks, don't tell people not to learn their class

static yacht
#

Right and if you are optimizing open world trash then spread shot wins

#

Cause it dies in one hit or two hits

stray saffron
#

what are you even talking about

static yacht

So I finished the glamour mission, and got the ability to dye and glamour gear. I want to purchase a lvl 1 thavnairian Bustier. I have a cowl. Do I equip my cowl first, and then cast glamour on the bustier. Or do I wear the bustier first, and cast glamour on the cowl?

twilit arch
#

you cast the glamour on the cowl

#

assuming you want to wear the look of the bustier and not the cowl

silk burrow
#

okay so I wear the bustier first then cast the glamour on the cowl

twilit arch
#

no

#

you don't need to wear it first, you just right click on the cowl > cast glamour and then select the bustier

silk burrow
#

oh okay

#

one more question. Let's say I level up later and I don't need the cowl no more. Can I cast the glamour on the new upgraded gear and wear the bustier

twilit arch
#

yes, you can use an item repeatedly for glamour you'll just need to either keep glamour prisms on you or make a glamour plate

via the glamour dresser at an inn room

Is post-heavensward content necessary to go to stormblood?

Depends on what you mean

You will have all the patch 3.1-3.55 MSQ to do, but you don't have to do the raid series

#

And you also don't have to worry, since 3.1 to 3.55 is about 40 quests, not 100

Hi everyone, is there any optional items you could recommend? something that is important or helpful from the optional items pages? i been thinking about getting something from there, but i have no idea if it's all 100% cosmetic? or if you get something better ingame for free at some point (still doing story)

twilit arch
#

most of the items on the mogstation are cosmetic

slate arrow
#

The only "good" optional item is the cloud bike which is also the only mount to come with a speed up boost by default

twilit arch
#

the only things that are potentially more useful are the story/leveling skips (generally don't recommend those for new players) and the sds fenrir to a small extent as it comes with the first tier for riding speed automatically unlocked but you gain those thru the main scenario quest anyway

@twilit arch @slate arrow Thanks for the info, yeah i am not looking into skipping the story, don't like doing that in general, but the bike do seem interesting, will take a look at it, and i guess the speed boost is unlocked as i play the game which is a good thing, i can wait for the speed boost.
