Do scholars and summoners both use the same weapon since they're arcanists?
slate arrow
yes, until level 50
left moth
different weapon since different main stat
slate arrow
And then it splits into ACN/SMN and SCH books
left moth
arr ones just happen to often have both
slate arrow
because healers use mind and casters use intelligence
left moth
at this point splitting the two wouldn't do much code wide but it would break some players who were using shared xp to do less leveling
since the HW jobs start at 30 and have no base class
oak ice
There are a couple green books pre-50 that are exclusive, as well

After doing my weekly custom deliveries, what's my best bet to farm white scrip as fisher?

Out of a composition of SMN, DNC, NIN & DRG. Who gets the dance partner and why?
silent harbor
Personally I give it to the highest DPS
So whoever is pull the best numbers, otherwise if you're not running ACT or something like that I usually just give it one of the melees it doesn't really matter that much if you aren't looking at their numbers.
bronze sorrel
gut feeling and knowledge of sb meta makes me think smn
Unless standard step is physical damage only which I don't think it is

how should I be doing my DoH/DoL stuff? 1 at a time?
faint flare
People like doing it roughly together so save on armoury space
With land going abit ahead to self gather mats
mellow wagon
how do i add more command tabs?
left moth
the hand/land jobs have the habit of pairing up (i.e. botany with carpenter and weaver) which makes that easier although doing in batches (to have more common things as equipment) is nicer quality of grind wise (so all to level 15 then 20 then 30... ishgard reconstruction helps a lot but that's a lot of back and forth if you need to get vendor/mb equipment to be able to use a macro to continue with sumbissions)
mellow wagon
yeah those @junior yacht
junior yacht
ok so those're usually called "hotbars"
forest laurel
gotcha
also about the gear for DoH/DoL, is it shared?
junior yacht
and you can adjust them by just hitting ESC and then clicking on HUD
forest laurel
between the jobs I mean
like weaver and culinarian being able to use the same gear
faint flare
Doh care gear aside fron tools
junior yacht
yes, crafters can share gear with each other
faint flare
And dol share fear aside from tools
junior yacht
as can gatherers
forest laurel
junior yacht
there are some sets that are class-exclusive, but most are shared
forest laurel
and what about leveling the jobs? just do leves?
hybrid hamlet
Do you have the road to 70 buff?
faint flare
More or less yes
left moth
leves is good but depends on availability of things to turn in (crafting ones). gathering leves is mostly a time sink but it's good xp until can go to diadem
forest laurel
erm I don't think I do since my highest job is 73
faint flare
Ishgard restoration is good for crafters, less so for gatherers
hybrid hamlet
If your doh/dol classes are under 70 you'll still have it active
Considering that your character isn't 3 months old

it isn't, I started playing about a month ago or so

I'm mainly confused bc I made my character when my server was preferred at the time
so I should be having the Road to 70 buff on all my jobs

You said one month ago right?
whole wasp
Last month preferred is odin iirc
fresh lodge
Do you not have the Road to 70 buff anymore?
forest laurel
nope
I don't see the buff at all on any of my jobs (other than WHM bc ofc that's 73)

How many days ago did you make the character?
forest laurel
is there any way to check the exact date?
zinc orbitBOT
forest laurel
3 weeks ago roughly
fresh lodge
forest laurel
that's when I started trying out FF14 again
forest laurel
apparently the buff lasts until the server stops being preferred or my char is 90 days old
so I'm just confused
whole wasp
Was twintania preferred 3 weeks ago? i cant recall.
fresh lodge
No
forest laurel
It had to have been
fresh lodge
Twintania wasn't preferred when you made the character
whole wasp
Twintania wasnt prefereed when you made the character 3 weeks ago. So you never had the buff.
fresh lodge
So you don't get the buff
fresh lodge
Which was when?
forest laurel
this is my character's folder.

22nd February 2020. If it wasn't preferred, I wouldn't have had that buff.

Can I get some advice regarding in-game harassment? I'm here on behalf of my boyfriend Murphy that's being harassed. pervasively.
Interactions take place on FFXIV, some on discord. They make alt accounts and get in touch with friends and guild leaders with all kinds of harsh accusations that we have to sort out.
(Lying about our age, Underage ERP, being transphobic or otherwise outspokenly hateful, etc.)
Each account as it comes, we just block and ignore and try our best to deter others from feeding into it. Some stay, some go, but I digress.
I'd like someone to talk to, maybe getting some sort of disconnect between the two so they can't stalk and harass him? Or at the very least, a gameplan to follow, because blacklisting them and reporting them for harassment isn't going so well. Please, Anything helps. ❤️
forest laurel
I didn't.
fresh lodge
Because Twintania wasn't preferred
forest laurel
The last time I made a character was on an NA data centre bc I wanted to play with a friend
which was in 2019.
fresh lodge
So you shouldn't have gotten the buff
forest laurel
this is so weird now
oh, I found a screenshot
"Welcome to Twintania" message, Road to 70 message, buff itself on the top right, everything
from 22 February

We do, and he has a TON of tickets in dating back months. I imagine it's hard for them to pick apart because the issues usually don't start with us, initially. We get blind-sided by some horrible dramatic issue, apropos of nothing, and we narrow it down to one of the stalker people, on yet another alt account. .. He gets exasperated with it, and lost his cool yesterday and threatened legal action to a GM, who then refused to help us. .. 😞
We've only been dating since September, but allegedly, it's been an on-going issue for a lot longer than that.
I know it's silly to take my word for it, but they've been making appearances sometimes upwards of 1-2 times a month. .. It's getting out of control.

forest laurel
nope
fresh lodge
No

this is an MMO lmao
leaden ginkgo
So it's only in shadowbringers?
hybrid hamlet
Not even there
oak ice
You will have to progress through dungeons during the story, which is essentially forced group content since you cannot do them alone at level
lament wagon
what do you mean play without other people
oak ice
Most of the rest of the game is alone
lament wagon
you can do the dungeons with squadrons later
leaden ginkgo
Msq's have some bosses where you can play with npc's I remember it was ||alisaie and y'shtola||

oak ice
Shadowbringers lets you do the dungeons with NPC members
leaden ginkgo
Ok
oak ice
But not the 8 man trials
random warren
and only the story ones
not the side ones like anyder or twinning
also the first time you finish the msq you have to relevel the trusts to 80

They are hidden chests that can be converted in to random stuff at an NPC outside of the dungeon. They can have cosmetic stuff in them like chocobo barding, hairstyles, glams, etc

The higher floors drop more expensive items like mounts

for AST, does aspected benefic and aspected helios replace the normal versions?
raven sage
No, they are for when you want to use regens and shields

silent harbor
Yeah so it's just the shield ersion of the normal ones
or regen if you are in Diurnal
leaden ginkgo
oh, okay, i think i understand
silent harbor
benefict - solo target, and helios - group wide sheild/regen
The original ones just heal

For beast tribe dailies (post ARR), every new reputation unlocks new quests, right? Are the dailies I get chosen only from the most recently unlocked or from all reputation levels?
silent harbor
Absolutely. I mained AST for about 2 years previously so I can answer most questions besides like current gear because I'm playing WHM this tier
raven sage
It pulls from your available pool of quests
So you can get old ones from the first rank at the final rank
silent harbor
If you unlock a reputation level you will get additional quests once you finish that blue quest.
ocean pivot
k, thanks
leaden ginkgo
is essential dignity just a second/emergency heal?
i main whm, but i wanna get my ast to 80 too
twilit arch
no, you should prioritize your ogcd heals before your gcd ones
silent harbor
Yeah ED and things like tetra or lilies are all the same
use them strategically because it allows you to prioritize DPS in between
The only one I would save for specific instances is Benediction
because of the long cool down and if you have a dark in your party you'll need it for their living dead.
leaden ginkgo
ast has benediction too?
clever river
I guess ed can do the job with 2 stacks

no no, selena was simply using it as an example of a ogcd heal that you might want to save

sturdy mason
That's very rare for me unless I'm on legendary nodes
twilit arch
if you do diadem, and pop a spiritbonding potion
you can spiritbond pretty fast in there

Honestly what I would focus on is look at your custom turnins and see what is gold stared and focus on those for fast scripts
I gather a lot of stuff and store it in my retainers for the day they become a star item and wait to turn them in on that day

I do every single yellow scrip collectable node on both BTN and MIN
I don't think there's a way to make at least that process faster

im at shb so idk what im missing lol

you also accept it on a combat class iirc

so i'm level 63 on my highest combat job and in early HW content (i think level ~52 quests, just leaving moghome). i'm getting kinda burned out on grinding through MSQ and am considering buying the story skip (tales of adventure: SB) to get to the start of ShB but i want to make sure i understand how it all works. i'd still need to level up to 70 with dungeons/roulettes/etc before i could start ShB content right? But I'd get immediate access to all pre ShB content as if I had completed msq for them? so i could go straight to all the HW and SB zones and vendors for example?

pros/cons and playstyle of dragon?
they seem to have the most gap closers of melee, right?
dragoon*
steep heron
dC that sounds correct
Dragoon has the most gap closers but that doesnt really matter in actual gameplay
I would say a con is that they use Maiming style gear and dont share that with other jobs. So you need a whole set just for them.
slate arrow
more often than not you're using them on cooldown because they need to use them whenever they're up for damage
You don't have dedicated gap closer actions like with samurai and monk
(samurai in particular since it's the least resource consumption)
faint flare
Except you got elusive jump which taked some time getting used to
slate arrow
Elusive jump is too wack for my standard camera brain
steep heron
It creates a gap more than closes it
slate arrow
unless you turn around but
It's finicky and is liable to kill you if you're not careful
steep heron
A pro would be its more simple than monk
You have great utility skills in Dragon Sight and Battle Litany

How good does a wireless keyboard work on the PS4? I'm sick of typing on the controller 😪😪
nocturne lichen
My wife and my roommate both use wireless keyboards on their PS4s
gentle marten
Im lvl 63 rn and ive no idea if it gets harder or if it needs a lot of weaving in between
nocturne lichen
NIN rotation is kind of wild at 80
focuses around building up your resources to have burst DPS phases during trick attack
obsidian patio
Your rotation itself doesn’t change too much past getting Armor Crush, you just get a lot more things to press between GCDs
nocturne lichen
lots of mudra dialing, oGCD use, and ninki management
gentle marten
nocturne lichen
RE: keyboards my wife uses one with a wireless mouse and makes a psuedo pc setup and my roommate plays with a controller and types on his keyboard
(wireless only because the living room is big and we have dogs that like to wrassle in the living room. wired anything for controllers only ends in tears.)
gentle marten
Oh also I've heard nin is not recommended if your ping tends to be iffy correct?
nocturne lichen
Correct. If a bit of lag eats a mudra dial, you're... kinda boned for like 15 seconds
that being said if you don't have too many latency issues NIN is, i believe, the most versatile melee dps, able to adapt to aoe or single target and still having a full toolkit for both
rather than just a 1->2 aoe combo
obsidian patio
Ninja still feels very smooth around 80-90 ping for me
Though using an oGCD after a mudra usually clips my GCD
spice thunder
hmmm you can't make materia can't you? You could only extract from 100 % spirit bound items?
nocturne lichen
extract from spiritbond or exchange clusters to vendors

that sounds tough... where can i exchange cluster?
nocturne lichen
depends on the tier that you're looking at - usually in the expansions endgame zone
Mor Dhona, Idyllshire, Ralgr's Reach, Eulmore
spice thunder
looking at tier 2 (currently working on gaelbog)
obsidian patio
Note that these clusters aren’t the ones that crafters use for crafting
obsidian patio
Your best bet for tier 2 materia is either marketboard or spiritbonding level 30-ish gear
nocturne lichen
its stuff like Mhachi Matter and Planiclusters
nocturne lichen
usually for grade 3, because those are needed for crafter quests
spice thunder
should i just buy lvl 30 items from a normal vendor?
nocturne lichen
if you just need tier 2 you might luck out and the ones you need are like... 200g apiece
spice thunder
oh nice
twilit arch
don't forget, that you can server hop
so if your world's got super expensive t2, try another world and see if they've got cheaper ones

@jaunty crescent spiritbonding an item to 100% allows you to reset it back to 1% and get a semi-random materia based on the type of equipment (Battle/Crafter/Gatherer) and the item level of it.

You want equipment that specifically lists the tank classes (GLD/PLD/MRD/WAR/DRK/GNB) or says “Fending” on it @reef nexus

The gear from the grand company is perfectly fine, though I do remember them having a distinct lack of pants for the most part.

You should always use those to upgrade your current rank in your Grand Company (or whatever they're called in German)

If you’re a high enough rank to turn in dungeon gear for seals then you’re good for now in terms of promotions

Okey thank you

Getting ranked up enough for squadrons and eventually command missions is kinda cool too
high patrol
The amount of level 50 quests post ARR is killing me.
Feels pretty filler at the moment, does it pick up?
obsidian patio
After Ramuh is when it really starts getting good
high patrol
Just got to Thornmarch Hard.
gritty oracle
It largely doesn't until the last couple quests, where the figurative fecal matter collides with the rotating blades of the cooling device.
wintry chasm
That's not entirely true
The last two patches are great, 2.3 I think is really nice except the part around ||Ramuh|| and 2.2 introduces an interesting element to the story
and 2.1 is just slower
obsidian patio
Yeah 2.1 definitely feels the most “filler-ish” of the patches since it’s mostly setting up stuff for later on
astral berry
How integral is the usage of Feint for stuff?
obsidian patio
Very useful in savage/extreme/ultimate content, not really needed outside of that
Still nice to use when you know what big hits it works on, though
astral berry
Revamping my DRG hotbars and Feint just seems like something non-essential.
faint flare
Its helpful to mitigate physical damage
high patrol
I'm pretty much done with 2.1 now so fingers crossed it improves.
I hear amazing things about Heavenward and beyond. I want to get there quick but not miss anything.
wintry chasm
My tip for you is to not think that
faint flare
Its pretry essential for high tier content
wintry chasm
If you really want to get somewhere quick then you're naturally going to get more ticked off when you don't get there soon
Post ARR is pretty alright if you take your time with it
high patrol
Really enjoyed the main story, like I say just feels a bit filler.
wintry chasm
Some sour points but it's generally fine
obsidian patio
As Dragoon pretty much your only “meh” skill is Piercing Talon.
wintry chasm
Don't rush it with an "oh my god must get to Heavensward" mentality
obsidian patio
And even then it’s nice to use if you can’t be near the boss
wintry chasm
I suggest even starting the ARR 24-man raid questline at some point Gornall
It's good
high patrol
Yeh I'm not really complaining too hard. I appreciate that when it was released it was essentially bridging the gap.
I guess it's just a lot of bridging to do in one go.
astral berry
That should really be the only time to use it, lol. Reminds me of the days in XI when you had a "puller."
nocturne lichen
Oooooo yeah Crystal Tower is super cool
high patrol
Yes started the 24 man. Did the Labyrinth.
nocturne lichen
the entire chain is pretty cool
Syrcus Tower is next then World of Darkness

Soo there are quests in Idyllshire that are going to unlock Aether Currents for me, but I thought I either have all of them or flying isn't an option there?
wintry chasm
Yeah 24-man raids are casual content so expect that Gornall
high patrol
Uh huh. It's new to me but people flew through it haha.
wintry chasm
I believe Idyllshire has aether current quests connected to the Hinterlands but yeah no you can't fly in Idyllshire itself
high patrol
Still nice to see some great mechanics appear.
gritty oracle
Tbh the 50 and 60 alliance raids are all full faceroll in my experience, save for that one boss fight where you fight on an airship without railings.
nocturne lichen
Stuff like 'kite the orb thats chasing you into a specific spot' will get shifted into 4-man dungeons
unreal badge
in fact I have all the currents fror all of those zones on page 1 of the aethercurrent log
nocturne lichen
if you bought a story skip potion to get past HW you still see the aethercurrent quests
unreal badge
oh
nocturne lichen
because they're all step one in a chain of sidequests
astral berry
GGEZ, sometimes the quest may be located in an area you have flight unlocked, but that is because that is where the MSQ quest may be located.
And rewards it for a different area.
wintry chasm
Oh that's fair Esi
nocturne lichen
my omni-crafter alt got a HW skip when stormblood was the current expansion
just because i didn't feel like dealing with the Sylph Arc in early ARR lol
so she doesn't have flying in any SB zones but she can still see all the aethercurrent quests in HW zones

dawn mountain
does dancer become less rng later on? only tried it at 60 for the moment
dawn mountain
damn
warped nest
You don't have to respond to the RNG right away
The buff for your proc skill lasted around 15s
You can bend around them a lil bit
dawn mountain
as in the job (from what ive done at 60 on a training target) relying on 50% proqs for damage and those proqs having proqs for feathers
warped nest
Check the potency
The proc skills are just 50 more potency
It is possible to have great luck with your procs and what not and do a lil bit more
But you won't get screwed over for having bad luck
dawn mountain
yeah true. Do I understand standard step right in that when I press it I get a random combination of 3 buttons I have to press, but the finishing move from all the different button combination is the same?

What is the quickest way to complete the future proof step in anima
warped nest
yeah true. Do I understand standard step right in that when I press it I get a random combination of 3 buttons I have to press, but the finishing move from all the different button combination is the same?
@dawn mountain when you press standard steps, 4 of your single target attacks become a dance move and your standard steps become a Standard finish. You perform the dance move and use Standard Finish to deliver
So yes
raw solstice
well to be specific standard step is 2 steps -> finisher, not 3 steps. But yeah
@gleaming finch doesn't really matter, it's nice to have them be a bit separate so having a third as BTN if your first two are set to a battle class and MIN sounds fine. To note, they won't exceed the level you have in whatever class you assign them as, so if you don't have BTN leveled for example (especially if you don't plan to), setting them to be BTN is pretty low value
zinc orbitBOT

Do dps get less rewards when doing adventurer in need?
steady pewter
why do i get relic armor, but then i look in my inventory and find a repainted version of relic armor that's better?

if you're adventurer in need you always get the same reward regardless of role
hearty garden
My friend and I are around the same lvl (55, 52) and I got 2.3k seals and she got 400
I'm a healer and she's a tank
Both same rank in our gc as well
raw solstice
the i50/i55 set is the base artifact gear (AF1), the i90 set is sort of the AF1.5
hearty garden
A 3 lvl difference cannot be that much is it?
raw solstice
they give the first since that's really the only way to get it now, the second set is just to give you actually decent starting gear for when you hit level 50
steady pewter
okay thank you
raw solstice
same roulette, both with the adventurer in need bonus for when you did the roulette?
hearty garden
We both just did it now
raw solstice
like, meaning you didn't both queue together, since obviously only one role can get the adventurer in need bonus at a specific time
raw solstice
the the tank gets the bonus, the healer does not
hearty garden
But both our roulettes are on cooldown
raw solstice
only the person on the role in need gets the bonus
raw solstice
maybe it swapped to healer in need for when you actually queued
bright badger
Are there any dyable BTN arms?
twilit arch
AiN bonus is not really worth fussing over
raw solstice
it won't make any difference, dps is excessively rarely adventurer in need. And the bonus is not really of note

is there any way to remove levels?
raw solstice
no, you cannot delevel, you can only level sync to certain instanced content
like dungeons/trials/raids, or FATEs as well
steady pewter
dang
raw solstice
you can level another class from a lower level though, since you can level everything on the same character
hearty garden
Yeah just kinda annoying wehn we do our roulettes every day and I always get the biggest amount
And we're trying to lvl our gc together
clever rune
god i ask a lot of questions here
I know when you buy the base game, you get 30 days of membership included, and i know with Heavensward you do too. So if i use the base game membership, when that expires, if i buy Heavensward will i get another 30 days? or is it once per account?
raw solstice
no
twilit arch
expansions do not offer game time
raw solstice
you do not get extra 30 days with heavensward
twilit arch
it is just the starter edition
raw solstice
@hearty garden any specific reason you're looking to focus on leveling GC? It's usually not a big deal, and something that comes pretty easily just as you do MSQ and whatnot
clever rune
Also just want to say thanks for being chill about it, i know on other MMO servers people will freaking crucify me for asking dumb questions, haven't had that here yet
green grail
a tank stance
you turn it on and you generate tank-levels of aggro, which you wanna do in dungeons/raids/trials etc
mellow wagon
how do i activate it?
green grail
just press the skill, there's a shield-looking gauge thing on your screen that will light up and you'll get a permanent buff on your buff bar
mellow wagon
so it's just some sort of passive ability?
green grail
a passive you can toggle, yeah
mellow wagon
so wouldnt it be better to have it on all the time
green grail
cause later on there's content with 2 tanks, and you only need 1 to tank at a time, so the other one can disable their tank stance to make aggro management easier
mellow wagon
and turning it off wouldnt be necessary
green grail
if you're doing dungeons then you keep it on yeah
solo stuff, doesn't matter cause only you're there generating aggro
8man stuff with 2 tanks, if you're not tanking you don't need it
mellow wagon
what about all the time anywhere? no use in turning it off as it's just weakens you
faint flare
It doesn't weaken you
mellow wagon
oh nvm just learned what enmity is
green grail
it doesn't weaken you, it just makes you generate less aggro
green grail
no, that's provoke
faint flare
Provoke is a taunt
raw solstice
not really
green grail
if you don't have tank stance then you generate the same amount of aggro as a dps
raw solstice
provoke very specifically puts you at the top of the enmity list, plus a bit
mellow wagon
one generates aggro and one forces aggro
raw solstice
tank stance just makes you generate more aggro with everything you do
so if you provoke and do nothing, you're top enmity. If you have tank stance on and do nothing, you won't have top enmity
mellow wagon
currently i dont have provoke
green grail
hitting the boss and healing players generates aggro on all roles and classes
mellow wagon
but alright i get it now
green grail
but with tank stances you generate way more, so random dps or healers don't get hit
mellow wagon

@raw solstice we just want to lvl our gc together as a group that's all. I just need to be more patient to let me friends catch up with me when it comes to seals
obsidian patio
@summer elm
- Use Ifrit for single target damage, Garuda/Emerald Carbuncle for multiple targets. Titan is best for solo content if you need the shields from Egi Assault 1.
- Keep up both Bio and Miasma on the target, using Bane to spread it to other target.
- Keep Energy Drain on cooldown. Use Energy Siphon instead if it will hit 3 targets. Use Fester whenever you can on targets that have both of your DoTs on them.
- Use Ruin 2 or Egi Assault 1/2 for movement when needed or to weave in abilities like Energy Drain and Fester. Make sure Egi Assault 1/2 don't stay capped.
- Use Ruin 1 for single target, Outburst for 3 or more.
atomic mango
i dont know if this has to be clarified but does hoh solo achievements require a full save from 1-100 or if i die midway can i just go from 30

@oak ice yup I realised, I just got really used to the mobility with using ruin 2

Swiftcasting 1 is not a bad move, if you need to weave things and your other instant casts are unavailable

Outside of using Blood Weapon, only Souleater when used in its combo does.

Any guide for best classes for squadron command missions?

I generally just go for a somewhat even mix of classes and then adjust my training points when needed.
My squadron team is Gladiator, Marauder, Conjurer, Pugilist, Rogue, Archer, Lancer, Thaumaturge, Arcanist.

Is there any DoH to do first for being more useful? Also should I just focus one to 80 or do them all to 30, all to 60. Etc.
obsidian patio
General recommendation to level them all up somewhat together so they can share equipment
but in terms of gearing up your crafters, Blacksmith/Leatherworker/Weaver/Goldsmith are the main ones.
LTW/WVR make a majority of crafting equipment, Goldsmith makes most of the accessories, and Blacksmith makes a majority of the mainhand/offhand tools

It lets you use Trick Attack in combat.

oh gotcha, didn't catch that on the skill
but for single target damage raiton is still the best, right?
and what about the shurikens, are they outclassed when you get combinations? the only upside it has from raiton from what I can see is the range
obsidian patio
correct, Raiton is your main single target mudra
Later on, Kassatsu upgrades Hyoton into a super powerful Mudra so whenever you use Kassatsu past level 76 you would do the mudra combination for Hyoton instead of Raiton

@robust crow First question I should ask is did you make sure the weapon you bought has this symbol by the name? 
robust crow
neo-ishgardian bow?
obsidian patio
A lot of the level 50 optional dungeons have a semi-long queue since people don't run them much
yes, does it have that symbol by the name or has a glowy icon
obsidian patio
👌
robust crow
what does that symbol mean? it sounds significant
obsidian patio
it means the item is high-quality and has the intended stats for its item level
normal-quality weapons are extremely weak compared to if they were high-quality
as in, the i430 weapon from Grenoldt probably would've been better than it if it was normal-quality
As for gearing up, you can start running the first three level 80 dungeons for Tomestones of Phantasmagoria (i460/470) and Allegory (i490/i500)

Note that Blue Mage, due to their weapon giving no weapon damage, scale a lot more on the Intelligence stat for damage than what other jobs would.
