you can glamour your egis any of the three (blue, yellow and red) carbuncle colours
so if you want ifrit to look like blue carbuncle, you can
crystal badger
NIICE
potent tapir
You specify which carby you want to glamour to the egi
I think you can have all of them be emerald carby if you really wanted
I think...
opaque pewter
Does a new character see old school Mor Dhona and Idyllshire before the fix?
twilit arch
no
opaque pewter
Super sad face.
twilit arch
Egi name: Garuda-Egi Titan-Egi Ifrit-Egi
Glamour: Emerald Carbuncle Topaz Carbuncle Ruby Carbuncle```is that the quest?
twilit arch
yes
crystal badger
okay
potent tapir
@languid kernel , I believe you aren't required to meet the minimum iLevel if you're in a full party for 8-man content
crystal badger
can you just give me the command for the blue carby
what you just posted is confusing
potent tapir
Kael can probably give a more definitive answer though
twilit arch
/egiglamour "Ifrit-Egi" "Emerald Carbuncle"
@languid kernel full premade parties ignore the min ilvl
crystal badger
emeralds are green
languid kernel
thank you
twilit arch
emerald is the blue carbuncle
crystal badger
but emeralds are still green
saphires are blue if you say it like that
but thanks

hI, which armor set was the one that won the contest? I can't seem to find it anywhere
twilit arch

Quick Q, what edition do i buy and what further expansions do I need
crystal badger
shadowbringers collecters edition
arctic glade
Hello. I’m looking to get into ff 14 on the ps4... I’ve played mmos before. How’s the population and what roles are needed most atm?
crystal badger
healer/tank
twilit arch
if you just want the base game to start out with, buy the starter edition and then later on you can buy shadowbringers to get all the expansions. If you want to buy everything in one fell swoop, buy the complete edition @somber thicket
potent tapir
The population sizes are all fairly high-ish between the data centers though
But the exact population importance will depend on what you want from the people on the data center
arctic glade
Cool cool. Any advise before I create my toon?
potent tapir
And where you are IRL
paper kiln
Guys what do you do when shadows appear during ocean fishing?
arctic glade
I’m coming over from dcuo.. burnt out with it
scarlet arrow
everything in character creation outside of your starting class is totally cosmetic @arctic glade
inner saddle
I'm the master of my free company, how do I leave it?
solemn plume
@arctic glade dcuo was so fun lol too bad the game is dead
arctic glade
Are all of the classes pretty balanced atm?
scarlet arrow
yes
potent tapir
Err
clear lance
Is there a Guy Fieri shirt in this game?
potent tapir
I don't think ranged phys has been quite fixed yet
clear lance
Asking for a frientd
potent tapir
Unless their numbers have magically jumped
arctic glade
Yeah I’ve played a shit ton of hours on dcuo.. then started again on the switch. Pop is dead 😮
inner saddle
Idk, how do I know If I have one? My friend just gave me his account i'm so fucking lost tbh
obsidian patio
About a 10% damage difference between top and bottom DPS
inner saddle
Ye
solemn plume
@arctic glade yeah it's pretty sad. Maybe they'll do a relaunch or a sequel or something but actually fix the p2w shit
arctic glade
Yeah. Devs stopped the ball for sure
inner saddle
Nope no house in the menu, baka
inner saddle
Which means I have no house I bet
arctic glade
Sorry for all of the questions.. sure I could YouTube but rather have real world feedback...
arctic glade
So.. you can solo level as healer and tank class as dps?
solemn plume
Like the 2.1-2.55 quests
junior yacht
Yes
arctic glade
I’m competitive and don’t want to pick a nerfed class to start off with 😬
solemn plume
But, if I don't have HW
obsidian patio
!faq meta
solemn plume
Am I capped at level 50?
zinc orbitBOT
junior yacht
There are no "needed" classes
obsidian patio
Yes you’ll be capped at 50
solemn plume
I see
So I should get HW before I start the level 50 quests
So I don't waste XP
Right?
potent tapir
There should still be a house button thing somewhere even if you don't have a house
obsidian patio
Ehh, the level 50 quests don’t give too much EXP
scarlet arrow
however @solemn plume the MSQ quests from 2.1 to 2.55 give VERY miniscule amounts of xp
junior yacht
Eh, you'll have way too much exp no matter what
potent tapir
Wynne, do you remember the command for housing options?
inner saddle
scarlet arrow
so you won't really lose much by doing them
solemn plume
That's true
inner saddle
There's no house I promise!
obsidian patio
Not offhand, keybinds are mostly unknown to me
solemn plume
I'm probably going to get HW soon anyway
When i'm not broke af
Wait
You have to get all the expansions at once right?
potent tapir
Just remember for expansions, you buy the most recent and it comes with all the others
scarlet arrow
keep in mind that you don't buy expansions individually
solemn plume
Yeah
obsidian patio
That’s how they sell them, yes
arctic glade
Hows the ui on ps4?
inner saddle
I mean my company is only rank 8, so I probs don't have a house,
slate arrow
same as on PC
obsidian patio
Same as PC, you just use a different type of hotbar for playing the game
inner saddle
I'm just looking for the npc, to use the 400k points and disband the guild
slate arrow
Unless you're asking about the unique controller hotbar that is
potent tapir
You only need rank 6 for that, Kuzuuryu
arctic glade
Is it clunky or it works well
potent tapir
8 used to be the cap, pretty sure
inner saddle
Oh
slate arrow
the Cross Hotbar does take some learning so
arctic glade
The ui is customizable?
potent tapir
Yeh
obsidian patio
Very.
arctic glade
Cool cool
slate arrow
you can move and resize every single element
potent tapir
Basically, @inner saddle , you'll want to make sure that:
- The FC Chest is empty and you don't think you'll want the expanded inventory space
- There's no house (maybe ask your friend if you can't find the button)
- Don't mind not having FC actions in the meantime
slate arrow
the haters are usually the one who can't understand that this is a Final Fantasy game on top of an MMO framework
Being a final fantasy game, story is your main vehicle through the game
the endgame is a nice treat at the end
potent tapir
A lot of people really hate 30-40 and ARR's patches though
inner saddle
Yeah, I emptied the chest already, and I need to join another FC so that I can get helped on knowing what to do
leaden ginkgo
ARR though...
arctic glade
Im a big raider.. enough dungeons to stay busy? Is there a que system or guild only
inner saddle
Where are the guild management npc's I can't find anything on the maps
potent tapir
There's Duty Finder and Party Finder for most content
slate arrow
There's a queuing system but most people use Party Finder for raids
potent tapir
Uh
slate arrow
Savage raids, namely.
slate arrow
Everything else is relatively easy (Normal Raids, there's no "raid dungeons" except for a weird stint in 2.x raids, etc)
potent tapir
Depending on the grand company will be where you have to go
inner saddle
Eh idk? Immortal Flames <Standing Allied>
potent tapir
Immortal Flames would be Ul'dah
inner saddle
Tyty
potent tapir
Go to the left of the Aetheryte Plaza
inner saddle
Found it thanks a lot :D
arctic glade
Thanks for the help fellas I’m sure I’ll be back with more questions 😂
scarlet arrow
@arctic glade so there are trials (single-boss encounters), normal raids (8-man content that tend to also be single-boss encounters but sometimes are not) and alliance raids (24-man content with multiple bosses and possibly some trash encounters as well)
inner saddle
And yeah also found the place in guild menu, where it says " no housing available"
potent tapir
Ah, okay
scarlet arrow
trials and normal raids have harder versions (Extreme for trials and Savage for raids) that genereally require pre-made groups
inner saddle
I have 471k credit, what can I do with it else than buying tables to dematerialize them?
inner saddle
So nothing useful
potent tapir
The clothing thing is worth gil, pretty sure
inner saddle
Where do I get them?
potent tapir
That's what I always forget cause I can't buy this stuff...
inner saddle
Cause the quartermaster doesn't sell thst
potent tapir
Lemme try and find it
stoic marsh
Hello! 🙂 Not sure if this is the right section to ask, but would there be anyone who can help with the Navel EX on duty finder? It's been an hour long wait and only 2 dps are filled so far. Thank you!
scarlet arrow
you're not going to find a lot of people using the duty finder for that
potent tapir
Oh, hmm, they only sell seeds here...
obsidian patio
Extreme duties are mainly done through the party finder.
scarlet arrow

potent tapir
scarlet arrow
if it's your first time make sure you advertise that so that others know they can get bonus poetics tomestones
potent tapir
You can buy additional items from them
Just make sure to check on the MB if they can be sold first

Anyone know what to do when the shadows appear during ocean fishing
inner saddle
I can't even get in "The Goblet zone"
obsidian patio
You’ll have to complete the quest “where the heart is (goblet)” in western thanalan
inner saddle
Speaking to thr flame private ivory sparrow, he just says that he can't help
Ayt thanks wynne
Gonna do that
obsidian patio
@paper kiln haven’t done enough ocean fishing to encounter that. :/
paper kiln
I've had it happen 3 times in a row on a single location during a trip, there is something specific that you need to do but I cant figure it out
opaque pewter
I don't have to do any class quests anymore to get class skills, right?
faint flare
paper kiln
Tyvm @faint flare
inner saddle
Yeah he's telling me that all he did is do some dungeons and he bought tickets to lvl 70
twilit arch
you still have to do 1-60 class/job quests for combat jobs with 70 giving the lvl 70 skill. 70-80 is all given to you @opaque pewter
inner saddle
I've been crafting gathering for a week so now everything is 70+

Some theorycrafting stuff for ocean fishing...Basically the buff is a higher chance to proc spectral so try to use a bait to fish up stuff stuff to mooch into it

Guys, what is the fastest/easiest way to get crystal sands [no crafting]? I am struggling with my anima wep quest chain..
obsidian patio
People probably using them for overmelding
obsidian patio
Amber-encased vilekin, which Comes from treasure coffers from HW leves
obsidian patio
I prefer Dance Magic Dance, but any HW leve will do
nimble gate
oh
potent tapir
Probably also because back then I burned through my leves doing crafting...
Hahaha...
nimble gate
I've been doing this, but gave up after 20 times with 0 chest
potent tapir
Oof

nimble gate
does it matter what lvl I am while doing this leve?
obsidian patio
Nope
wary eagle
so is the housing meta to cop whatever you can so that you can then transfer/buy more easily a good spot later on?
potent tapir
I thought the housing meta was to buy out all of the plots in a ward
And then lock everyone else out
wary eagle
maybe if youre a baller

my first retainer is my main combat class. does it matter much whether my second retainer is mining or botany?
elder merlin
Is there a dungeon journal that gives summaries about what to expect in different dungeons like in wow? Would be cool to read up in advance before getting i.e. stung by bees to death in some dungeons 😄
barren arrow
Is the Cinder Drift EX orchestrion roll for phase 1 or 2?
obsidian patio
@elder merlin nope
potent tapir
lol, I see someone has come across everyone's favorite Sunken Temple of Qarn
I think there are summaries online of the different dungeons
But I'm not sure if people explicitly make guides anymore
Except for fights that have proven to be annoying/challenging
inner saddle
Has he already done the story, Kuzuuryu?
@potent tapir yeah he has done the main quest
potent tapir
Ah, okay
obsidian patio
...they didn’t even unlock glamour?
inner saddle
No, what a fucking monster
round tiger
em .. do we have a ocean fish guide?
potent tapir
I mean, I do have a person in my static who only really raids

Still very much being figured out, there’s also a fishing discord which has two channels dedicated to it.

@potent tapir Yeah, I learnt the hard way that 3 bees was a final sting for me indeed...

potent tapir
elder merlin
I really wish they add some sort of a journal in game where it gives some summary of dangerous stuff for each place
Would be amazing for sprouts like me
potent tapir
Unfortunately, I think SE mostly wants you to experience the dying
Just like how SE doesn't actually tell healers or tanks how to improve
They just shove you into content and watch the party explode
But, yeah, if you know the name of the dungeon you're going to be queuing for, you can try looking it up first
And, usually, if there are any notes, it should pop up
Unfortunately this isn't in-game
Alternatively, if you're part of the Novice Network, a linkshell, crossworld linkshell, or FC
You can try asking them as well
leaden ginkgo
hey guys once im 70 is there some place im supposed to like, get gear before moving onto doing the MSQ? all my gear is 60 stuff
potent tapir
open coral
If you've finished the Stormblood MSQ, there is a vendor in Rhalgar's Reach which will sell you Scaevan gear for poetics.
faint flare
Tome vend unlock after finishing stormblood base story
potent tapir
There's a quest reward at 70 for your job stuff, there's the tome vendor, and there's dungeon drops
leaden ginkgo
hmm im making my way through finishing off my job stuff because i did HoH to 70 so maybe i should just power through but thats why i was asking because i was getting my ass kicked by a lvl 65 mob lol
cobalt brook
are the 60+ & 70+ level areas gated behind MSQ progress like the 50+ stuff like Coerthas is, or can you access them regardless of MSQ progress?
warped nest
MSQ
twilit arch
yes, the expansions areas msq gated
slate arrow
all expansions are MSQ gated
since the NPC either won't let you through or literally doesn't appear until you're at the relevant MSQ
open coral
Is your level 60 gear augmented @leaden ginkgo and do you have your chocobo out?

So, we have a new free company, and a house with a chocobo stable. What should we be looking to provide? Functional... Furniture ... Other things for members? I've not found a good guide

The only “essential” furniture I suggest is the free company chest, armoire, and crystal bell
jade quartz
FC buffs
obsidian patio
Retainer bell is nice but most houses are already near an outside one
eager crown
If I decide to buy the story skip boost to Shadowbringers, do I still get the quest rewards or unique untradables like the Scion sets from completing stories? Or is there any way to get them from an NPC or something.
jade quartz
They’ll be available from the Calamity Salvager in the three starting cities.
obsidian patio
All quest-exclusive rewards but the Fantasia are either automatically used, like minions and mounts, or buyable from the calamity salvager
The Fantasia is the only thing you won’t get
Oh, another nice furniture is The Unending Journey, which lets you rewatch cutscenes
rancid vector
Mmm okay I don't actually know what a crystal bell is I'll look into it
obsidian patio
There’s also the NPC vendor-things, but I can’t remember if a small house can have one of each.
It’s used to summon the hair stylist guy, who can change your hair and a few other facial features

@solemn plume daily roulette then highest level dungeon
but you want to avoid 50,60,70 dungeons
solemn plume
I should do both roulettes, right?
warped nest
their exp are no good

The leveling one and the guildhest one

do levelling
you can do guildhest 3 times a week to get the bonus from weekly challenge log, otherwise, ignore that

If i have only one job at lv80 and want to level second job i get xp boost right? Is the xp boost the same no matter how many jobs i have maxed?
warped nest
Lord Death: then ill try to get it
Lord Death: through guildhests
guildhest was answer for a different question
sleek peak
(I know it doesnt need to be maxed just a example)
twilit arch
yes, the armory boost is static not matter how many max jobs you have
its always 100% for levels 1-69, 50% for 70-80
sleek peak
So all it takes only one job thats higher level than the one im leveling
warped nest
oh, my bad, i thought you were talking the paid boost
sleek peak
warped nest
yes
fathom abyss
i found it thaxs

Also if i have the "Road to 70" buff it still applies right?

what's the deal with weapons you can buy on mog station? like the scythe or weapons from FF13? are those purely cosmetic and just change the look of whatever weapon you have equipped?

Is their a reason AST cards don't give unique effects like it seems they use to?
Reducing how much damage people take, reducing mana cost, increasing damage.
twilit arch
because ultimately the main cards that people used were Balance/Spear
leaden ginkgo
i'm not seeing Cinder Drift Extreme nor Eden Vice Savage on duty finder, however i'm pretty sure i read them being unlocked
twilit arch
the tp regen wasn't that great, getting an ewer when you needed mana wasn't reliable nor was getting bole
all in all, having cards all do damage means you're going to be more consistently playing cards
are you looking in the high-end tab of duty finder @leaden ginkgo

no worries, a lot of people make the same mistake ^^

depends on what contents
sturdy mason
I got my retainer to level 30, got a message that I can get a more advanced job. Retainer is Conjuror right now. Should I promote to WHM? I get a scary message that says all progress will be reset. I don't want to start back at level 1. What should I do?
twilit arch
you won't reset going from a class to a job
its if you want to switch from a job to another job
i.e go from white mage to red mage
sturdy mason
So this is safe? Why do they give me the scary prompt? 😦
warped nest
they need to list down the warning somewhere in game
twilit arch
because its lettting you know for the future if you no longer want to play/level a white mage
warped nest
or else people will complaint that they weren't warned
sturdy mason
well but I'm not doing job to job? Poorly coded I guess
twilit arch
your retainer if its a conj/white mage will be stuck at whatever level you left your white mage off at
sturdy mason
Oh I guess they're trying to make sure you understand that what job I'm picking can't be easily changed later
so I should think it through more
warped nest
yes

Is it fine to have a dps meter? I see it sometimes and others I don't, it seems like it'd be a staple like in wow.

gold saucer has some, cost quite a bit though
when you max a chocobo skill tree, you will get 1 for each tree

Is 5.0 even in NG+?

yes
twilit arch
yes there's only one node, but you can spawn it repeatedly by tapping two of the normal nodes around it @mortal root
mortal root
ohhhh thank you!
warped nest
When Kael said two, they meant two pairs

probably won't get the shb patches in ng+ until we get 5.3 atleast, since they break the expansion and post msq into two parts

for a total of 4 parts per expac

No

I remember hearing something about just 3 patches for ShB

maiden lion
I’m pretty new to ff14 so this might be obvious, but why do people looking for healers for their static always seem to need a SCH? Is it because there are more WHM than SCH? And why SCH over nocturnal AST?

Castrum Abania was good for 69-70 in Stormblood and is good for 70-71 in Shadowbringers

Is there a better macro for lv70 skybuilders stuff now that 5.2 is here?
maybe a shorter macro?
sturdy mason
Looks like I need 8000 yellow scrip to get the gathering books 😦
robust magnet
If you have a high level ALC it won't take long to get those scrips.
sturdy mason
ALC gives me crafting scrip tho?
robust magnet
Oh sorry I read crafting books
If you got lv80 gatherers (MIN and BTN) it won't take too long either, just gotta hammer down on collectibles.
it took me awhile too but managed to get em in a day or three without too much effort and doing dailies inbetween
twilit arch
ideally, you want to have both min and btn at 80 so you can do a fully rotation of both the high end yellow scrips
fleet moth
Is skybuilders stuff for gatherers released now? Or is it coming in 5.2x
twilit arch
Assuming a good run of getting 3 per node, you'll get 384 scrips~ for 1 cycle of nodes give or take (assuming my math is...not that shit)
robust magnet
later on I believe.
fleet moth

twilit arch
turn ins for gatherers is 5.25
fleet moth
Alright thanks.. -_-

I forgot the name, white something branch in the lv 80 zones usually lets me get like 7 turn ins which helps.

what's the fastest way to catch up to ilvl 455?
merry cliff
does anyone know the name of the song that plays right before huaca? (the statue thing) I beg
robust magnet
fastest way would prob be buy or craft the gear.
little swift
you could spam copied for 460
robust magnet
Tomestone gear and copied factory can get you there too. (copied factory is ilv460 iirc) but cannot be augmented to higher.
robust magnet
thats not too bad now.
leaden ginkgo
Can you get the rathalos chest off of mb or do you have to craft it?
Or does it drop?
robust magnet
is that the MHW stuff?
leaden ginkgo
Yeah
robust magnet
I think you need to do the trial and get the scales, turn in for the armor and stuff.
leaden ginkgo
How are the drop rates?
leaden ginkgo
Oh so it's faily easy to craft? I just want the chest piece for glamour
robust magnet
would be best to check the vendor prob.
twilit arch
its no a craft
you exchange rathalos scales for the base item then rathalos scales + for the augment version
leaden ginkgo
Ohhhhh
sturdy mason
What's useful about white scrip?
robust magnet
looks like 8 scales for it?
twilit arch
white scrips let you buy the white scrip gear, t8 materia, and certain materials (crafting materials for crafters/aethersands for gatherers)
robust magnet
its 500 scrips for a t8 tho iirc ye?
twilit arch
its a pretty hefty amount, yeah
sturdy mason
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/8z9po6/43_a_short_guide_to_ephemeral_node_optimization/ is this still relevant for lv80 collectibles?

jagged jungle
can you specialize gatherers?
ionic elbow
Guys I have a question : If I want to make a character in different region for example in EU data centers and I already have a character in Primal server do I pay another price for that character ?
jagged jungle
thx
ionic elbow
Okay i'm using the 60 day gift card as a way to sub , will this still be used for both characters or each character a card ?
twilit arch
You don't have different subs for different characters
ionic elbow
Because I remember the last time I used the gift card It told me to pick the character to use it for
twilit arch
depending on whether you have entry or standard (time cards are standard subs), dictates how many characters you can have total and how many per server you can have
that's all
but you pay 1 sub for all of your characters
ionic elbow
You mean the card may be different to the normal sub in the way of having more than character ?
twilit arch
no, time cards are the same as doing standard sub with a debit/credit card
ionic elbow
Okay then I guess who told me that each character must be payed a sub was lieing

Mooch 1 needs HQ fish, and only certain fish can be used to mooch

whole wasp

outer star
Okay thanks!
boreal lynx
Does ilvls just means more stats overall? If lets say i have a ornate chest, would i immediately replace it when i get a higher ilvl chest?
green grail
yep
ornate lets you meld more secondaries but secondaries are nothing compared to mainstat
!faq statmeme
zinc orbitBOT
green grail
and let you meld all 8s, you can only overmeld one 8 for 3 in total
so it's an 80 secondary stat gain
yeah not really worth for battle jobs
but powerful for crafter pieces
leaden ginkgo
So, I've more or less levelled all my crafters comfortably to 80 with the Ishgardian Restoration content - on Lvl 70 Scrip gear (so, the handking stuff.) The next step towards gearing them up would be the bluespirit tools, I think?

Hey guys, is there a good class guide? I am a bit confused between classes and Jobs, I was hoping for some flexibility but it looks like each starting class only fulfills one full role?
leaden ginkgo
what level can i go to the golden saucer?
obsidian patio
Classes are the precursors to Jobs. Classes don’t change their role when upgrading to a job besides Arcanist to Scholar, but that’s due to Arcanist being able to become two jobs.

How arduous would it be to get the Xiphias Eureka?
And the Hyperconductive Nothung? Actually better question which one is easier to get?
oak ice
Hyperconductive Nothung probably takes the least time to get, since it's the step before the poetics grind for those weapons
While Xiphias is the Hydatos, or last step, for the Eureka relic
rare sable
sorry, do they nerf titania-ex totem drop? pretty sure it was 2 totem per clear before but uh...
somber thicket
As a beginner to this game but not mmorpgs, would you recommend DPS as a starting class/job?
I guess if I go reactive healer (holy priest style) it will be relatively straightforward but they aren't that rewarding.
Not sure how complicated Tank is?
rare sable
ah.... thanks wynne >__<
obsidian patio
Holding aggro itself is extremely easy. The main complexity comes from maximizing your damage
rare sable
(personal opinion)
tank is most uncomplicated in everything but harder content
somber thicket
Right, is there much damage mitigation?
rare sable
yep, at max level, you'll have enough mitigation to rotate them
amber venture
pretty sure that statement is true for pretty much all MMO's honestly. Tank as a role is not complicated but you can clearly see who is a great tank player and who less so. Comes in the form of predicting damage paterns and optimising dps while doing
rare sable
I feel like theres a gap between normal and hard content in terms of the skill level that tanks should have... (though it applies to all role I supposed)
amber venture
As a healer player myself I also feel the same about the Healing job, as it not being that complicated. but still you can clearly shine as one
somber thicket
The sense I am getting then is that I shouldn't be offput by any role, they are all straightforward in easier content with opportunities to minimax across the board
blissful rampart
If you are going to buy the crafted gears, there is no point to do the current tier raid (normal) right?
leaden ginkgo
Is there an ocean fishing guide yet by chance 🤔
obsidian patio
@blissful rampart correct, though you still want to do E8 for the weekly weapon token
whole wasp
Only very basically double hook as much as possible.
Everything else is still at guesswork
leaden ginkgo
I took a screen shot of this from a video but I mean I’m not even sure if that’s right lol
hoary storm
During spectral current whats better, double hook or patience?
obsidian patio
General strategy I hear is to save your GP to use on Double Hook and Identical Casts for Spectrals, otherwise Chum when you’re capping on GP
whole wasp
4x or 8x is huge.
leaden ginkgo
So we don’t use it without rainbow?
whole wasp
And patience if you run out if gp to hookset is ouch.
hoary storm
Your gathering matters there right?
obsidian patio
No idea. :/
hoary storm

whole wasp
Idk either. They are level 1 fish so it shouldnt matter
whole wasp
@leaden ginkgo honestly up to you. I heard some likes to patience 1 since cheap while others just dont bother.
oak spindle
ive always been scared to meld because i always know that there are better ilvl weapons, whats the best weapon this patch? ruby?
whole wasp
RNG is RNG 🤷
leaden ginkgo
Hmm I might have to try it without it, I find it hard to have any gp for the spectral, but lately every run I do there are 0 rainbows -.-
obsidian patio
Eden Verse Savage is best weapon
whole wasp
Should be e8s weapon.
burnt spear
so I'm leveling a second job and it's at 70 now, which 70 dungeon should I do? I did like 2 The Burns and an Ala Mhigo and only got like 40%
whole wasp
Dont do 70 dungeons.
obsidian patio
none.
whole wasp
Do lvl 69
oak spindle
ah i probably wont get to e8s for a while, should i get ruby?
whole wasp
50/60/70/80 dungeons dont give good exp
obsidian patio
I heard it's a somewhat easy extreme
whole wasp
@oak spindle sure. Go for it.
obsidian patio
The checkpoint also helps with doing the fight
oak spindle
and then once i get ruby do i just use the highest materia i have?
obsidian patio
pretty much, don't forget you always have a chance of getting the materia back
and you won't replace the ruby weapon until you get the allegory weapon in 7 weeks
whole wasp
With spiritbonding change, you have another source of materia too.
obsidian patio
(assuming you don't do any savage)
oak spindle
it'll probably take my static a while to get to e8s so ill just farm ruby until i get the weapon
does it matter what order i meld?
whole wasp
No. Both slots are 100% and you cant overmeld.
zinc orbitBOT
oak spindle
so for sch i would only meld piety and crit?
whole wasp
Crit and det/dh
Piety up to you.
If you feel you need more mana, piety. If you never feel you need more mana, meld something else
oak spindle
ok thanks, whats the difference between det and dh again?
whole wasp
Det gives you stronger heals and damage
Dh only gives more damage by mini-crits.
But the difference is tiny so pick either or mix and match
oak spindle
ah ok

Is Ishgard still a better exp resource for crafters? I have 3 crafters at lv 60 the rest at 70, all have been leveled through ishgard first then beast tribes later. Should I keep leveling the 3 with beast tribes or is ishgard better?
eager crown
whats the best way to get grand company seals

Since beast tribes are capped per day anyway.
Turning in dungeon gear using expert delivery is pretty good.

should i use my ARR fantasia to turn into an elezen? lol

rare jetty
came here from gw2 and wow, and tbh this game has got amazing quality life

You can level every job in the game

@faint flare does the "armory bonus" stack up with this ??
faint flare
Yes
somber thicket
@Vinyl Tails#6052 do I have to level them as a seperate character though?
rare jetty
same char as i know
just go to the "initiate" guildmaster for that job and start the questline
somber thicket
It's probably hard for me to picture coming from wow, I didn't realise you could have multiple classes on a single character
obsidian patio
You can level up all jobs on the same character to the max level
obsidian patio
This is my lodestone link, and this page shows all the combat/crafter/gathering jobs i've leveled up
rare jetty
main difference i've seen from wow tho, is that each job is related to their role only, f.ex: white mage is and can only be a healer, there's no specs for dps/tank
whole wasp
Yup. Specs dont exist.
rare jetty
so having multiple jobs looks to be a must, no idea tho, im new to the game
warped nest
- DoW/M
--- Roles
------ Jobs/Classes
Not a must
The game just make it very easy for players to try multiple jobs
rare jetty
oh, i've seen blue mage has a limited lvl and stuff, is he like a gimmick job or something ??
warped nest
It is a mini-game disguised as a "job"
rare jetty
xd
warped nest
It cannot participate in the most current contents
whole wasp
You dont have to level multiples if you dont wanna. Its fine to 'one-trick'
warped nest
If you are looking to fill spots in hardcore party, you open up more options if you can do 2-3 jobs of the same role, but you don't have to

Similarly you can max every 'profession'(crafters/gatherers)

AST always looking to me like the most fun healer to play, but after having gone through some guides (maybe not all up-to-date) I was kinda put off from leveling one because it was to much RNG and the buffs would often time not even warrant the GCD to use them. But i've seen plenty of AST's popping up in recent reddit posts, has this class had a lot of changes recently that put it in a better state?
dusky nest
It does some time getting used to and I still prefer mouse and keyboard, but it's absolutely viable and many prefer it even

Not really any major changes. People just got used to it.
