They don’t cost real money.
Rank 1 and 2 boosts are bought with free company credits which are generating by doing various things
Yep
signal holly
What are a good beginner caster? 😄
mossy current
Arcanist
Or thaumaturge for getting into the "true dps" feel
But arcanist has good utility
obsidian patio
No actual numbers given out, but drop rate feels around 10% for the old expansion mounts
dusk zenith
i think so
signal holly
arcanist becomes summoner right?
faint flare
And scholar
mossy current
Summoner or Scholar

Is it hard to heal in ffvix? 😄 totally new to anything in this game 🙂
faint flare
Not really
Damage is scriptes as all hell
Every fight plays out exactly the same as last time you did it
So as long as people arent 0 IQ and stand in the bad, you end up dpsing most the time
signal holly
as a fresh player maybe it is? 😄 i've healed in wow but nothing else in any other mmos 😄
faint flare
Most your healing comes from off global heals
Once you get those, you rarely touch gcd heals
signal holly
and i like healing but does healers and casters gear the same or like scholar and summoner? 🙂
faint flare
No
Casters get casting gear
Healers get healing gear
Since healers use Mind
And casters use Int
signal holly
oh and whats mind? :d
devout salmon
When choosing my coffer should I select Slaying or Fending as Samurai? Isn't Fending tanks?

Just wanted to double check. Thanks Vinyl.
faint flare
You want slaying and striking for gear
signal holly
So if im going to unlock every job on one char i need a ton of gear to change around? 😮
obsidian wren
you could level classes in increments of 5-10 to share gear, it's especially helpful on crafters/gatherers

If you're a new player, and you can't figure out how to take it off on your own, then you should probably keep it

You can turn it off now if you wish by selecting your character from the Party Members tab of the Social interface, then select the Edit Search Info subcommand.

so I'm about to start the game with a friend of mine, is there a suggested realm we should go to or does anyone have any suggestions

Make sure you're playing on a preferred server for the exp boost. The game will tell you which servers are preferred

open coral
What should my Item level be around Level 37-40
@forest lark Under level 50 your ilevel should more or less match your character level.
forest lark
Ohh I see, cause Im level 37 and my ilevel is rn 27 and I feel kind of weak, I can barely kill anything
open coral
It might be your weapon ilevel that's the problem, or that you haven't been doing your job quests to get new abilities.
What is your job in game?
forest lark
Honestly I dont even know whatvI should be equipping, Im playing this for just a week and first time, I am black mage rn
wintry chasm
Honestly that's fine @forest lark
Getting the same ilvl as your level in ARR is hard
Because accessories really lower your average ilvl
open coral
Have you been remembering to go back to your class hall every 5 levels? That will get you new abilities.
wintry chasm
27 as a level 37 sounds a bit low but just being somewhat okay and I assume that you aren't actually close to level 37 content so you don't really need better gear where you are at
open coral
In that case, unless your equipped weapon ilevel is super low, I wouldn't worry too much.
forest lark
Btw is it normal to still have grey, white qualitybweapon
open coral
Yes
forest lark
I see some have blue or pink
wintry chasm
Blues don't worry about because you can't even get one at your level yet
open coral
If you're lucky enough to get a dungeon weapon from an equivalent level dungeon (which is what green and pink are) then you can equip those
open coral
Otherwise, white-quality weapons are completely acceptable
forest lark
Ohh ill try running more until I getbsomething decent
wintry chasm
It's not the rarity that matters @forest lark
zinc orbitBOT
wintry chasm
It's the ilvl/weapon damage
open coral
^
That's why I was asking about your weapon ilevel
If you're still using a weapon for level 20 when you're nearly level 40, then yes, your damage is going to be lower.
wintry chasm
But still that only matters if you're actually doing level 40 content
open coral
True
wintry chasm
It's okay to have a lot lower ilvl than your level if you aren't actually at that higher level content
forest lark
I cant even kill this mob
open coral
That is because that mob requires you to use a quest item on it
wintry chasm
Isn't that the type of mob that you are meant to use a key item to reduce their stats
hot eagle
need to use keyitem
wintry chasm
then kill?
forest lark
Ohhhh, im so dumb lol
wintry chasm
Someone is skipping dialogue~
open coral
See the special icon by the mob's name?
forest lark
A little
open coral
That usually indicates a mob that is more powerful than average for that level, and which will resist more damage.
forest lark
Its even shown in there, ok im officially dumb
open coral
Such mobs are typically associated with quests, and require a key item to be used in order to kill them.
wintry chasm
This is probably rule 2 or something of main story progression, pay attention to the objectives because they do sometimes tell you do very specific things
forest lark
Ohh ok then thx haha I might cut down on skipping dialogues
open coral
"Read the quest dialogue" is rule number 1 of playing any RPG.
shrewd relic
What’s this weird icon on purchase history? Never seen it before
obsidian patio
The chest-like one? That means someone was displaying the item on a Mannequin in their house
shrewd relic
Yeah that one
What does that mean? Someone went to their house and bought it off the mannequin?
LOL
obsidian patio
I don’t think you have to buy it from the mannequin directly
But yeah you can do that

Oh poo I thought the current sale for Shadowbringers included it on Steam. I cannot grab the expansion with the sale for a steam account already with the starter thing, can I?

If you bought the base game not on steam then correct.
Doesn’t shadowbringers by itself also have a sale on steam? Or is it only the complete edition?
twilit arch

Are there any slots i should buy first with my phantasmagorias? Or just whatever i need rn?
open coral
Weapon first
obsidian patio
In terms of effective stats, the order is weapon > chest/pants > head/gloves/boots > belt > accessories
Though I’d say it’s better to get the Resistance weapons instead of Phanta at this point
The first weapon is free and all other weapons are 1k poetics.
open coral
Oh right, relics are a thing now.
obsidian patio
And they’re i485 which is 15 better than upgraded Phanta
open coral
I forgot about them.
snow dock
When can i get it?
open coral
There's a quest line that starts in Kugane
obsidian patio
Right after shadowbringers base story, assuming you complete the level 70 alliance raid questline with Ivalice
snow dock
oh, theres no ilvl requirement for it?
open coral
Nope
Just finish the MSQ through the quest "Shadowbringers" and have done the Ivalice raid.
faint flare
Just do the 70 raids then the quest, which has a solo instance
Then the first relic is free
snow dock
havnt done any 70 raids, guess i know what to do then
broken pasture
Thanks. I'm in that awkward place where I really enjoyed the game after my free month + log in campaign, but my class is maxed and it is a big hard question as to whether it is worth to invest in the expansion and monthly stuff. But if not now when haha
leaden ginkgo
i thought the fate crystal grind would be hard but it was pretty fast

Yeah, they vastly increased the drop rates for the Atma crystals sometime during last expansion, so it goes quicker now than it once did.
cold kayak
im lvl 39 SMN and everything was fine and dandy until I had to play at lvl 60 in POTD
the amount of keybinds was a harsh reality check as to what ive gotten myself into
open coral
SMN has a LOT going on.
cold kayak
did i just screw myself by choosing the highest DPS class in the game as a noob?
wintry chasm
It's a bit unfair to go to 60 in PotD because you're very naturally not going to understand
slate arrow
no
open coral
Nah
wintry chasm
You don't have that slow build up of learning skills to ease you in
open coral
^
slate arrow
It's just a steep learning curve since SMN has a lot of tools introduced
wintry chasm
so PotD can be a bit frightening like that
open coral
PotD really rushes you into things instead of allowing you to get a feel for each ability before you learn the next one.
broken pasture
I'm curious how long term players feel about raids and missions they keep replaying. Do you still enjoy it? What brings you back? Do you stop for a while and await new content at times?
At the moment I don't mind redoing the same raids for my dailies because I'm still learning how to be a good tank and have a long way to go
cold kayak
i was matched with 2 other DPS and 1 tank (who couldnt really tank all that much tbh) and I was the only mage. our party got wiped at floor 50 so || ironically i ended being in the same situation as Edda||
broken pasture
But I imagine that after a while you get to be pretty much a master of your class and nothing phases you, so skill acquisition and game play go out the window as motivators then? I don't know this is my first MMO
snow dock
its what you make of it, some people like to collect vanity items, others max all classes, others just like to do chill dungeon runs with friend in voice chat
or you can chill after reaching your goal, come back next patch

At the moment I don't mind redoing the same raids for my dailies because I'm still learning how to be a good tank and have a long way to go
@broken pasture
First of all, you're not bound to a single class, so you can go through the same content with every single job in the game.
Second, aside from certain leveling dungeons, they do a very good job of making interesting fight mechanics, visually beautiful maps, and really awesome music, as well as farmable gear and rare cosmetic rewards.
Basically, there is intrinsic value to running the same content a million times if you're into glamour and collections. Plus the large scale raid and alliance raid content is always just really fun.
broken pasture
Glamor seems fun and I am all about different classes
Part me thought about using this free week to level a second class and not spend on the DLC yet but I also think I'm here for the story and I hear it only gets better
So I may Paladin as far as possible. I guess it is a real "go at your own pace" thing when it comes to starting another class or learning crafting
open coral
The game really does allow for a very "my pace" kind of progression. You aren't punished by the system for coming into content late, and it actually encourages picking up other jobs or DoH/DoL even while you're still doing MSQ.
It's all about what you want to do.

pick the data center in your geographic region

First recommendation is to choose a datacenter in your region for best ping, so NA datacenters if you live in North America/South America, EU for Europe, and so on

Hey so I'm looking to convert from a trial to regular account. I assume I just go buy from the square enix store the game. If i get the complete edition, that's everything, right? Game + DLC and a month of play time?

Where did you get the free trial from?
summer haven

wintry chasm
Right so from SE
Then yeah that's okay

@azure gust Aether/Primal are the main raiding datacenters for NA while Crystal has a more established RP community.

How to farm grand company seals early? I can't seem to get enough for promotions

Do your grand company hunting log and fates near your level
Focus on promotions until Sergeant Second Class, which unlocks the ability to trade in non-white gear in for seals

Am I going to have to redownload the whole game or will my client figure it out and download what's needed?

obsidian patio
@trim cargo when I was doing story generally whenever they were in the way.
trim cargo
gotcha , thanks
obsidian patio
@narrow arch getting to Second Lieutenant unlocks the Hunt system which lets you earn currencies from the various expansion hunt mobs. For the Shadowbringers version of it you can spend the currency on Grade 7/8 materia, and when 5.3 hits, you can spend it on upgrades for the weekly tomestone gear
Seals can also be spent to make a bit of money from the items you can buy with them, like glamour prisms
snow dock
Also are there some up to date materia guides for the classes somewhere? I can only find ones from 2019. Secondly, i read that SAM aims for a specific skill speed, but if i dont know what my other gear pieces look like later on (currently on resistance weapon + 430 gear), how do i know which materia to put into my resistance weapon?

As a level 18 THM do I ignore ice and fire 2 for now? I remember hearing there were some spells you just don't use for a while.

Fire 2 is your main AoE until 68 or so. (Besides a weird period from 35-49 with Freeze)
For Blizzard 2, technically you should use it for more damage during AoE but I personally don’t since that involves moving right up to the enemy

You can level a second job if you're on the xp buff.
zinc orbitBOT

I mean the bonus xp you get.
warped nest
No
ocean pivot
It stays and will reactivate when you switch to a job that's below 70.
warped nest
Road to 70 only goes away if a server is no longer marked as Prefered and your character is older than 90 days

oh so i got plenty of time
My kinda goal is to try out to lvl up all other tank classes in game while i have this buff

You should pick up another tank
And use it to do story
Very easy to level a new tank from 1-30

With road to 70, you can maintain 2 jobs at the same level as your MSQ

Seems like legit strat

Command missions are pretty nice for experience, but it does have the con of needing GC seals to run

Tips on redoing hotbar:
- remove all skills
- find a striking dummy (easiest one is south of Summerford Farm teleport point)
- add your skill in the order your learn them while hitting the dummy

Make sure you read tooltips and your Traits

Just a really weird question, if you guys don't mind me asking. I keep hearing that things like food get really good in late game, but how exactly is it good?

Buffs your stats. Gives you more damage. Allows crafters and gatherers to hit certain breakpoints.
cold yew
I mean, how dramatic are the changes exactly?

For crafters usually very handy for extra CP and stats overall to make stuff

Do only certain weapons have a glow or is it something you can add to a weapon?
twilit arch
certain weapons have glow
relic weapons in particular are weapons that as you do the quest, add glow to the weapon
devout salmon
Oh okay that's pretty cool. What if you glamour a weapon that glows? Does it take the glow to the glamour weapon?
twilit arch
no, the glow is specific to that weapon
devout salmon
Alright. Thank you.
robust jacinth
question about the Relic weapon system, making sure I kind of have this right
ARR Relic weapons start as just the base Relic weapon, then upgrade into Zenith > Atma etc
HW are the Anima weapons
SB is Antiquated > Anemos etc and connected to Eureka
ShB is Resistance Weapons?
can you work on these for one job at a time and do you ahve to do them all in order?
twilit arch
They're not interconnected
having a ARR zeta lets you skip the first part of hw relic, but thats it
And yes, ARR is the zodiac relic, HW is Anima relic, SB is Eureka, and ShB is Resistance weapon
robust jacinth
and can you do them on multiple jobs?
twilit arch
yes but you can't be on the same stage on multiple weapons for the arr/hw relic
you essentially have to stagger them a bit
hot crane
if I want a ironwork weapon, should I just buy stuffs from auriana or is it worthy to do the "crystal tower quests"?
twilit arch
SB you can pretty much be working on as many as you want since its largely just grinding for materials
Its much faster to simply buy the encrypted tomestone and tokens from auriana @hot crane
robust jacinth
got it. Thanks so much!
hot crane
tyty 🙂
still worth it to do the crystal tower quests after I got my weapon?
not sure if it's just old content that isn't worth to play
I am fairly new
junior yacht
🤔 the crystal tower doesn't have anything to do with any weapons
well i guess technically it does but no one uses it anymore
twilit arch
its still worth going thru the crystal tower series
since the story is relevant to shb
junior yacht
you should do the crystal tower quests once for the story
twilit arch
plus you can unlock the alliance roulette with it and thats a pretty chunk exp source
junior yacht
and alliance roulette is a good source of xp

how is the HW relic grind vs the SB relic grind?
gloomy ice
HW relic is arguably the easiest since poetics is the biggest time sink.
warped nest
HW relic becomes easiest after the 1st run
dusk merlin
im constantly capping poetics so that sounds super easy
warped nest
you would have unlocked all the quests and what not after the 1st one, so it is very easy to stock up mats for the rest of HW relic
i myself have completed 4 HW relics all the way, and 2 others mid-way (cuz I like those design better)
gloomy ice
Twin Thegns is my favorite PLD weapon by that token. But, yeah, on topic SB requires entering Eureka. While it is much faster post nerfs/Echo, it still requires you to level up and tackle enough fates for the materials needed.
dusk merlin
you can't get the earlier designs through the calamity vendor?
im up to the pyros axe now, working on the elemental +1 armor before i start on the hydatos weapon
gloomy ice
I believe so? I don't recall how it works in Eureka since I ground to a halt at Pagos but for Anima, yeah, replicas would be available pretty shortly through a nearby vendor. I think Eureka's is on the pier near the lockpick.

and which price do you want to show?
per unit price? or total price?

per unit price

hey I'm kinda new to the game and I want to ask a pretty stupid question, is crafting weapons and armor the way to go? or earning them through quests/buying them is the best way?
whole wasp
crafting is optional
buying from marketboard or from doing normal raids is probably easier.
junior yacht
it's not very good for your first pass through the game
it's usually something people do after they've got at least one combat job up to the level cap
iron oracle
Does beast tribe quest give you exp sync with the lvl you turn it in? Like to say Beast tribe from arr when you at lvl70?
junior yacht
ARR beast tribe quests don't sync at all
iron oracle
So SB and HW sync?
junior yacht
expansion beast tribe quests do sync, but only up to the level cap for that expac
iron oracle
I see
junior yacht
so for example if you did a HW beast tribe quest on a level 70 character, you'd get exp as though you were only 60

haukke hard boss mech?
gloomy ice
Last boss? Be slow on damage. It's too easy to drop her but she has a couple hard HP thresholds that can't be ignored.
Be certain all four adds spawn and are killed asap before finishing the boss
obsidian patio
after the eye add is killed, you want to slow damage around 40% and wait for the last add to spawn and immediately kill it
I think the hard push for her eating that one happens around 30%
obsidian patio
yeah the early ARR bosses weren't really designed with the idea of them being more easily/quickly killed later on.

For the last boss in Haukke HM, it really helps if a melee dps uses LB on the last add to burst it down before the wipe mechanic happens.

whats bes tplace to buy gear at level 63?
obsidian patio
Kugane should have the level 60-70 vendor gear. If not then check the gear vendors in the ruby sea.
Though vendor gear stops being great past 60 due to the increasing divide between NQ and HQ stats.
whole frigate
what level do you need to be as a crafter to start doing the ishgard restoration
cold yew
So I have a random question, what even is blue mage? I never see it in roulettes at all, it seems like they're some kind of rare species...
open coral
BLU is a "limited" job. They can't join random synced parties, only premades.
They also only go up to level 60 currently.
cold yew
So what's the point of blue mage then exactly? It seems like a rather strange class in that case
junior yacht
for funsies :3
open coral
They're... I guess the best way to describe them is as a minigame job?
They can learn specific spells from a ton of different mobs, including some raid and dungeon bosses, all of which are theoretically available even if they were to be synced all the way down to level 1.
cold yew
Yeah, I remember Blue mages in other FF games learned spells by getting hit by them
mossy current
You just have to see them now
open coral
This, however, makes them both versatile (one of their spells allows them to "mimic" one of the three combat roles and enhances their related spells accordingly) and entirely overpowered for the kind of game this is.
cold yew
So, if I'm understanding right, you just kinda play pokemon with spells and get them all?
junior yacht
and survive the fight
gloomy ice
@whole frigate You need to clear most of the HW story before you can unlock it but once unlocked, you can start as early as level 20.
junior yacht
you can't for example, get hit by Final Sting and learn it if you die
mossy current
The Brute Justice one is the best one
whole frigate
ah ok thank you
open coral
Final Sting is one of the hardest BLU spells to learn
cold yew
Next question, is it worth it getting blue mage?
open coral
Depends on your definition of worth
mossy current
If you're bored and want free poetics/allied seals
junior yacht
yeah that's something you'll have to decide for yourself
cold yew
I suppose it is a complicated question, yeah
warped nest
BLU is a side content disguised as a job
open coral
It's fun to play with, even if it's excluded from normal content.
gloomy ice
BLU is a nice distraction and a great way to get allied seals eventually but ultimately it's, yeah, a distraction.
junior yacht
i definitely wouldn't recommend starting in on it until you're caught up on the main story
warped nest
You cannot do current content with BLU, but BLU parties can break older contents
open coral
But it's not a job you'll ever be able to do current content with.
cold yew
Yeah... on my main class on behemoth, they haven't even started Shadowbringers.
gloomy ice
Although, yeah, watching full BLU clears of Savage content is all kinds of silly
open coral
I still need to pick up a ton of the BLU spells.
Including a couple of the ones that require you to beat all of the BLU arena bosses.
Not looking forward to that.
junior yacht
i put it on the backburner while i'm leveling all the other jobs :V
cold yew
So in summary, Blumage is side content disguised as a job that cannot do random lobbies, and is an easy way to get poetics if needed?
open coral
Same. I leveled to 60 and got a bunch of the spells the first week after it was updated.
Pretty much, yes Jackson
gloomy ice
It is really fun to use once you get a good catalogue of spells though
cold yew
Gotcha, thanks for answering. I asked my buds and they just told me it was complicated and didn't elaborate xD

It blocks anything that hits it for the duration it's up

Sorry, I mean like crafting professions!
leaden ginkgo
Crafting is entirely optional content
mossy current
But you may find it easier to level one crafter up higher on some situations
nova umbra
so if the enemy is using an AOE attack that has a channel, I can just use sheltron and ignore it?
leaden ginkgo
They're designed to be levelled up all at once since they share gear and (some?) crafting materials
mossy current
Always dodge AoEs
leaden ginkgo
It doesn't ignore it, blocking is like 15% damage reduction

ohh

Always be dodging aoes though

If shelltron was a mini HG, oh gods

you can stack your mitigation tools at the cost of having a window where all your stuff is on cooldown
as you get more experience, you'll learn when and where you can get away with it

Also Shelltron doesn't look like much at first until you realize how often you'll have it available. 4/6s duration, sure, but you'll be generating a ton of oath guage and that 15% may just save your life.

it's common to level them all at the same time so you can share gear among them

classes?
bitter plaza
yeah
leaden ginkgo
so now that I've hit 30, I should probably start leveling another class? Also, how would I do that without the main quests which are my main xp gain?
bitter plaza
but if you want specifically crafters that make caster stuff, then probably weaver for most gear and carpenter for most canes
oh no don't start levelling another job
not unless you really want to
the problem with crafters is that you will probably also need goldsmith for a lot of trinkets and leatherworker for a lot of boots
and alchemist to make certain components
leaden ginkgo
So they all need each other?
obsidian patio
Besides Culinarian, the crafting classes can share a lot of materials.
bitter plaza
pretty much yeah
early on though you should probably be fine with weaver, carpenter and botanist?
obsidian patio
As an example, a chestpiece made by Armorer in the late game could need materials from itself, Goldsmith, Leatherworker, and Alchemist.
rare sable
Uuuuuu I really suggest against leveling crafter/gatherer when ur new
leaden ginkgo
Huh, why?
rare sable
Cause its an investment
obsidian patio
The story gives a bunch of free gear and leveling crafters up with low gil can be challenging/grindy.

And end up broke with no idea how to make gil
==);
leaden ginkgo
oof
rare sable
Sure if you like it
rare sable
But if you just want equip, its better to just do 
cause like wynne said, and class quest give every equip you need

Starting with gatherers on the other hand, is pretty nice since you can make a somewhat nice amount of gil from gathering raw materials with little gear investment.

The thing about this game is that crafter level alone is not enough to make gil... you need market knowledge too so...

It doesnt help that sellers are competitive and at best you'll get a general direction on what to sell but not the exact item
Even if they do give out item names, it'll either be common knowledge or they're done with that field

gaunt brook
do msq until you hit a point where you cant continue bc of level

I've been doing mostly just main story because that's my fast exp
gaunt brook
then do dailies and sidequests

as someone who finally got WVR to 80, a lot of the struggle later in the process was finding (rather, spending a lot of gil on) materials that could be made by other crafter classes
In my personal experience, that is
it made me wish I had levelled at least leatherworker alongside it
rare sable
For starter class, I highly suggest alc
gaunt brook
yeah otherwise you have to go to the dreaded market board
and hoo boy do crafters love overcharging
rare sable
Gotta make profit somehow! 
gaunt brook
this is a message to all crafters who overcharge by like 10x the material cost
u suck
obsidian patio
@stable elk The only one I would suggest is one that automatically does Shukuchi on your current target, which would look something like this:
/ac "Shukuchi" <t>
/ac "Shukuchi" <t>
/ac "Shukuchi" <t>
/ac "Shukuchi" <t>
/ac "Shukuchi" <t>
/ac "Shukuchi"
/micon "Shukuchi"
This makes it become a pseudo gapcloser
the line that doesn't have <t> allows you to manually place it without a target selected.
stable elk
Also you gave me your ninja controller setup yesterday can you explain it a little since I’m only lvl 45 I’m tryna figure how you use your rotations
@obsidian patio
obsidian patio
I play melee a bit weird because I'm used to "clawing" my hand like some people would for Monster Hunter games.
I suggest having most of your main actions on the face buttons as those are more natural to hit without moving your hands.
with the slightly lesser stuff on the arrow/directional buttons
So for my bars, you could move the ninjutsu abilities to the L2-face buttons instead of keeping them on L2-dpad
I also try to force myself to only use one main crossbar, when you could use two or more with slight differences. Like the first one can be for single target and the second one can be for AoE
Controller is definitely finding out what works for you without straining your hands or having to take your eyes off the screen for too long.
As long as you can press the buttons you need to while not losing uptime on your actions pretty much anything can work.
stable elk
You have your cross L2 d-pads with all trick attack is that for a particular reason?

And this is what I bought.. hopefully i didn't buy the wrong one

Did you enter the code given?
fresh lodge
Did you actually register the game key?
lethal schooner
Eh there is a code?
obsidian patio
Yep, you should get an email about it once the payment goes through
lethal schooner
I'm sorry, but the email doesn't give any codes
fresh lodge
When did you buy the game?
leaden ginkgo
Crafter gear vs Raid gear. What are the benifits of crafter gear over Raid gear?
lethal schooner
Well.. 15 minutes ago i think
fresh lodge
It takes time for the payment to process
Crafted gear is good for getting your foot into the door
fresh lodge
But raid gear is straight up better

Also one more question. How do you make money in this game with fishing and cooking
fresh lodge
