limber walrus

thank you!

queen cove
#

whats the best meld for WAR?

#

Ive melded some for skillspeed atm

mossy current
#

If you're raiding, you can use food to reach the GCD you want

obsidian patio
mossy current
#

Is DHR not even considered on tanks?

obsidian patio
#

Not for Warrior

#

The other tanks want it

faint flare
#

Its useless on war

#

Due to inner release

mossy current
#

Ahh

faint flare
#

Well very low on priority for war

obsidian patio
#

For the other tanks it's below crit/SkS

wicked tendon
#

How does level 8 materia work?

#

is it only the first slot?

faint flare
#

Like Tier 6s

wicked tendon
#

or can I just jam all of them in every slot

faint flare
#

Goes into all guaranteed slots

obsidian patio
#

It can only fit in visible slots and the first overmeld.

faint flare
#

And the first overmeld

wicked tendon
#

overmeld?

faint flare
#

Overmelding is forcing extra materia into gear

obsidian patio
#

Crafted gear can be melded past the visible melding slots with a chance of failure.

faint flare
#

Only doable on crafred gear

mossy current
#

Crafted gear can be stuffed with extra materia than what's shown

faint flare
#

Max is 5

wicked tendon
#

huh

mossy current
#

Need a crafter of the level you're melding into or higher

queen cove
#

Gotcha

mossy current
#

Normal melders can't do it

queen cove
#

So just build crit and then det

wicked tendon
#

so I have a neo ishgardian set, which is a crafted set

faint flare
#

You can overmeld that

mossy current
#

That is crafted

obsidian patio
#

Though success rate plummets hard after the first overmeld, with the 5th and final meld usually sitting at 7-8%

wicked tendon
#

all pieces can have up to 5 materia?

faint flare
#

Overmelding is pricy and RNG

mossy current
#

Yea

faint flare
#

Yes

queen cove
#

I thought you can just use vendor to meld?

wicked tendon
#

ah I see

queen cove
#

Or can you not do that

faint flare
#

Not for overmeld

obsidian patio
#

Only for the visible slots

queen cove
#

Ah

#

But you can over if you do it yourself

obsidian patio
#

You need to meld it yourself or request another player for overmelds.

wicked tendon
#

so Materia 8 can fit in any visible slot?

queen cove
#

Gotcha

obsidian patio
#

Yes.

mossy current
#

If you wanted all 8s in all slots, the AF4 gear from the ex trial has 5 open visible slots

wicked tendon
#

kk

faint flare
#

And the first invisible slot

gloomy ice
#

Also if a piece of gear says Advance Melding Forbidden, it can not be overmelded period.

faint flare
#

You're not required to overmeld, its nice extra stats but not needed

mossy current
#

Mostly tome gear and high end raid drops

leaden ginkgo
#

Hi guyssss

#

Would you say the expansions are worth it? In terms of story and gameplay

mossy current
#

Yes

#

1000x yes

gloomy ice
#

The jump in quality from ARR to HW alone is incredible and then there's still SB and ShB to look forward to after those.

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh, you think? 😁 ok I’ll buy them then

#

Oh and I think I asked this before but I don’t remember. Some of the cards I buy say ARR on them. I presume that it still subscribes my account throughout all the expansion

#

expacs are better than ARR

#

even Stormblood

junior yacht
#

Yes, subscription time applies to the entire game, even the expansions

leaden ginkgo

Thank youuuu

leaden ginkgo
#

A lot of people say this game is one of the better final fantasy’s 😬 I certainly trust I won’t be disappointed?

obsidian patio
#

The base game's leveling story is a bit rocky at the start since it assume that it's most people's first MMO.

mossy current
#

It's probably the best new final fantasy

#

imo

#

Not many other FFs these days work with jobs anyway

#

If I want jobs, I have to go to bravely series

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh 😁 I am glad! So once you finish all of the expansions is there plenty to keep my occupied post game?

pastel crow
#

What's doing better endgame content right now for Samurai, Kenki or no Kenki?

leaden ginkgo
#

Post shb

slate arrow
#

i mean there's technically jobs in FF13 - lightning returns

mossy current
#

wdym kenki or no kenki

slate arrow
#

^

mossy current
#

Kenki has always been important in the SAM moveset

slate arrow
#

if you aren't using kenki what the absolute fuck are you doing

pastel crow
#

Someone told me there are Sam's who use the Kenki gauge and others who just fill it and keep it filled for the buff

slate arrow
#

what buff

obsidian patio
#

There is no buff from keeping the bar filled.

slate arrow
#

kaiten is a DPS loss on anything but midare

gloomy ice
#

There's no buff to keeping the Kenki meter filled, yeah. Not using it is a huge loss in potential damage.

mossy current
#

Higan too

slate arrow
#

if that's the buff you're asking about(?)

pastel crow
#

I'm brand new to the game lol, so I really have no idea, just repeating what I was told, trying to get some clarity xD

slate arrow
#

if it's not mentioned in the traits or the actions and help menu over job gauges it's probably not right

#

do note that kenki is a bit hard to get in heavensward content

#

but once you get to stormblood and beyond you get kenki out the wazoo

mossy current
#

For HW stuff, doing the normal sen combos gives enough to Kaiten midare

pastel crow
#

Yeah, I'm leveling 76 atm

mossy current
#

Lemme grab Sam rotation

slate arrow
#

sorry for sounding mean

mossy current
#

Fill in the list what you can

#

Ignore what you don't have yet

#

SAM is all about going fast and how many times you can midare

#

While keeping up buffs and your DoT

pastel crow
#

Actually, that looks like exactly what I've been doing lol, but I've been going hakaze, yukikaze into the dot first

#

Is there a reason to go with shifu/kaza while building?

mossy current
#

For the filler?

#

Or the first move

pastel crow
#

The first

mossy current
#

It's slightly higher DPS

pastel crow
#

So I should always be using Yukikaze last before Midare?

mossy current
#

In the opener?

pastel crow
#

And in regular rotation

mossy current
#

Aye

#

15 kenki bonus

#

Can kaiten the midare

#

Since you do shinten before the yukikaze

#

In the opener, at least

#

After the opener, you gotta be smart on when to do kenki-spending attacks

#

Since they're oGCD

leaden ginkgo
#

I’ve always wondered..why is Dragoon like

#

A meme you guys

warped nest
#

You generally want to prioritize your Kasha and Gekko combo

#

Because you want to keep up your Jinpu and Shifu buff

#

Then you can do Yukikaze

mossy current
#

If you flop your rotation, at least keep the buffs up

twilit arch
#

floor tank meme comes from FF11 and the early days of 14, when dragoon's had lower magic resistance than other jobs and long animation locks so they died easily

warped nest
#

Regarding whether to use it on opener, you are better off referring to the Balance

#

!faq balance

smoky edge
#

Im doomed

zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
#

these days its not as accurate, but you still have some animation lock so it can be easy to get yourself killed if you're not careful

green furnace
#

Ahhh i remember before they changed their mag resist

warped nest
#

They have the math on different openers and you can figure out what works for you

pastel crow
#

Another thing I didn't see on the rotation list was tsubame-gaeshi

mossy current
#

People kill themselves as RDM more often

deft anvil
#

Is it possible for my Squadron to succeed on the lv50 missions if they don't meet all 3 stats? They're lv60 and I can get 2/3 stats cleared no problem but my few attempts at the lv50 missions have all failed.

mossy current
#

Tsubame gaeshi is the blue midare

#

Only use it on midare

warped nest
#

Another thing I didn't see on the rotation list was tsubame-gaeshi
@pastel crow do you see Kaeshi Midare?

twilit arch
#

for non priority mission, yeah they can pass the 50 missions with only 2/3

whole wasp
#

The sam rotation is built around tsubame on CD

twilit arch
#

for priority missions they have to meet all 3

green furnace
#

We had a drg main in arr static

warped nest
#

!action Kaeshi: Midare Setsugekka

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

Action not found, Kupo!

green furnace
#

Fun times

pastel crow
#

I only have Midare Setsugekka

warped nest
#

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Tsubame-gaeshi** : lvl 76 SAM (60.0 second cooldown)

Repeats the previously executed iaijutsu with increased potency.

Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills upon execution. Cannot be executed during the cooldown of weaponskills.

warped nest
#

It transform automatically after you use an iaijutsu

mossy current
#

^

slate arrow
#

you have tsubeme gaeshi at 76 which allows you to repeat your last iaijutsu for increased potency once per minute

deft anvil
#

Cheers @twilit arch I'll continue trying to get sufficient perks to push them over the requirements.

mossy current
#

The same potency as if you Kaiten'd it

slate arrow
#

actually more

warped nest
#

You should always Kaiten your iaijitsu

#

No

#

Not more

#

Same

mossy current
#

Midare normally is 800, + kaiten is 1200

#

Same as kaeshi

slate arrow
#

oh

#

math is hard

mossy current
#

Same for the dot

pastel crow
#

So how do I geet Kaeshi? I'm missing something lol

plain zephyr
#

Are you lvl 76

warped nest
#

Are you level 76 yet?

pastel crow
#

Yeah

smoky edge
#

I don't play SAM what is Kaiten

mossy current
#

Put it on hotbar

slate arrow
#

your actions and traits menu

mossy current
#

And do midare

slate arrow
#

!action Kaiten

zinc orbitBOT

slate arrow
#

!action Hissatsu: Kaiten

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Hissatsu: Kaiten** : lvl 52 SAM (20 None) (1.0 second cooldown)

Increases potency of next weaponskill by 50%.
Duration: 10s

plain zephyr
#

Did you put tsubame gaeshi on your hotbar

pastel crow
#

Oh, so Kaiten turns it into Kaeshi?

warped nest
#

No

oak ice
#

No

pastel crow
#

Doh -_-

warped nest
#

Open your Action and Trait window

plain zephyr
#

It's a separate skill

mossy current
#

It's a different action

warped nest
#

Scroll through your actions

#

Look for a lvl 76 skill

pastel crow
#

Right, I see it at level 76 but it's not letting me drag it to my action bars

slate arrow
#

you're too far down

warped nest
#

Not the 3 variation

slate arrow
#

you want to drag

#

!action Tsubame-gaeshi

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Tsubame-gaeshi** : lvl 76 SAM (60.0 second cooldown)

Repeats the previously executed iaijutsu with increased potency.
Can only be executed immediately following Iaijutsu.
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills upon execution. Cannot be executed during the cooldown of weaponskills.

plain zephyr
#

Tsubame gaeshi is the one you put on your hotbar

pastel crow
#

Oh, yeeah, I have that on my bars

plain zephyr
#

It's like how you put iaijutsu on your hotbar

mossy current
#

Tsubame gaeshi turns into kaeshi: midare

smoky edge
#

What level do you get the Hissatsu Kaiten skill at

pastel crow
#

OHHHH okay

warped nest
#

Then it will automatically transform, after you use any iaijitsu

mossy current
#

52

obsidian patio
#

Kaiten is at 52, same level you unlock the Kenki Gauge

smoky edge
#

Ok

warped nest
#

Go find a striking dummy and practice

obsidian patio
#

Also at 52 Gekko and Kasha gain positional bonuses. Gekko gets a rear positional, and Kasha gets a Flank Positional.

smoky edge
#

What level does SAM start at I forget

warped nest
#

50

obsidian patio
#

Both giving Kenki from hitting their positional

slate arrow
#

50

warped nest
#

At lvl 62, you get this new trait

smoky edge
#

I haven't played in months

warped nest
#

!trait Kenki Mastery II

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Kenki Mastery II** : lvl 62 SAM

Increases Kenki Gauge when landing all weaponskills excluding Iaijutsu.

warped nest
#

This massively increase your kenki generation

mossy current
#

5 added to every weapon skill

smoky edge
#

This is my first month back

warped nest
#

Welcome back

smoky edge
#

And I accidentally cancelled my sub

mossy current
#

So a normal Yukikaze combo now gives 20 kenki

smoky edge
#

Oops

mossy current
#

A huge difference from the 10 kenki before

pastel crow
#

So, can tsubame be buffed with kaiten as well?

plain zephyr
#

No

whole wasp
#

Nopr

mossy current
#

No

#

I wish

#

Sweet 1800

smoky edge
#

Yep

pastel crow
#

Okay, so I kaiten, midare, tsubame basically

mossy current
#

Yes

smoky edge
#

That would be awesome

slate arrow
#

Tsubeme is an action, not a weaponskill

warped nest
#

Ability

pastel crow
#

Oh okay,I see it now

mossy current
#

Using it on the AoE is fine for dungeon pulls

#

But keep up the buffs

warped nest
#

Kaiten, Tenka, Gaeshi Tenka

smoky edge
#

What's the exact difference between Action Weaponskill, and Skill in this game, that sounds confusing

warped nest
#

Action is all of them

faint flare
#

Weaponskill/spell is gcd

slate arrow
#

Weaponskill: most abilities on the GCD without a cooldown

faint flare
#

Ability is oGCD

slate arrow
#

your main rotation consists of these

faint flare
#

Majority of the time

pastel crow
#

I also don't see stuff like bloodbath, seian, meditate, and hagakure on the list, i assume those are just situation dependent?

smoky edge
#

Ok

slate arrow
#

most abilities are not on the GCD, which you use to weave

warped nest
#

Ability can be used in between Weaponskill/Spells

slate arrow
#

some abilities are on the GCD, but they have a cooldown

pastel crow
#

seigan*

slate arrow
#

!action drill

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Drill** : lvl 58 MCH (20.0 second cooldown)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 700. Shares a recast timer with Bioblaster.

slate arrow
#

as an example

faint flare
#

Seigen you use via proccing third eye

obsidian patio
#

Seigan is dependent on Third Eye

warped nest
#

I also don't see stuff like bloodbath, seian, meditate, and hagakure on the list, i assume those are just situation dependent?
@pastel crow Hagakure should be in

faint flare
#

Always use it when yoy can

obsidian patio
#

Bloodbath is used when you need the healing

plain zephyr
#

Hagakure is in there

twilit arch
#

drill's a weaponskill

gloomy ice
#

Hagakure is situational but generally used after your one filler combo

faint flare
#

Hagakure is for burning sen in downtime

obsidian patio
#

Hagakure is part of the filler GCDs

pastel crow
#

Oh, nevermind, it is Chronos lol

smoky edge
#

Sorry for the noob questions, like I said I haven't played in months maybe a year

obsidian patio
#

And Meditate is used for downtime when you can't hit the boss

warped nest
#

Np

faint flare
#

Bloodbath for personal healing

slate arrow
#

oh whoops

warped nest
#

Hagakure is used to adjust your Sen generation

plain zephyr
#

Hagakure is for your filler or if you need need to reset your sen for reopeners

warped nest
#

You don't want to expire your Higanbana Dot with 2-3 sens

smoky edge
#

And I am nowhere near getting that Smol Garuda minion

#

I NEED it

obsidian patio
#

It's tradeable, if you're willing to buy it off the marketboard

pastel crow
#

So if my dot is about to expire and I only have 2 sens, it's better to hagacure and then reapply the dot?

#

If i'm not capping kenki

warped nest
#

You shouldn't be in that situation

smoky edge
#

Once I get it I'll change my nickname

#

I am

#

Willing

#

I don't got the gil though

warped nest
#

You should pocket 1 sen right before Higanbana is almost up

obsidian patio
#

The SAM flowchart is 100% consistent assuming you use the appropriate "Filler Rotation" for your GCD

plain zephyr
#

If you follow the loop and theres no downtime you should have the right sen

smoky edge
#

So what's best class for Eureka rn

pastel crow
#

So when does teh filler phase happen?

plain zephyr
#

You can do the filler at any point

#

It doesnt matter as long as you do it once per 60s

warped nest
#

I feel that we are going into too much theoretical here

smoky edge
#

Is SAM good for Eureka

warped nest
#

Just practice and you will get the hang of it

plain zephyr
#

This is still Sam basics

smoky edge
#

If so I'm boosting

pastel crow
#

I just feel like I'd never want to use Hagakure but would rather build to a Midare lol, there's just a lot I guess

obsidian patio
#

Any class can do solo Eureka fine for killing random mobs.

smoky edge
#

Ok

obsidian patio
#

but the 'safest' options are tanks/healers

#

due to their sustain

plain zephyr
#

The reason why you use hagakure for your filler is so that your tsubame does not drift

smoky edge
#

So no SAM basically

plain zephyr
#

That's the only reason

obsidian patio
#

SAM is still good

warped nest
#

Your Higanbana is the most damaging weaponskill you have

obsidian patio
#

You can always use the Eureka Potions bought inside to have a potent heal on yourself.

#

!action Eurekan Potion

#

oops

#

!item Eurekan Potion

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Eurekan Potion** **:** Medicine : ilvl 1

*This potent concoction gradually restores own HP.

Duration: 40s
※Only available for use in the Forbidden Land, Eureka.*

smoky edge
#

Oops

plain zephyr
#

Just kill your enemy before they can kill you

mossy current
#

RDM is great in eureka

smoky edge
#

I done mucked up

#

I was supposed to hang out with my gf in XIV today

warped nest
#

I would recommend jobs with less upkeep in Eureka

#

So probably not Dragoon or Monk

smoky edge
#

Had a location set and everything

warped nest
#

Just so you don't need to run around while constantly trying to keep up your buff

pastel crow
#

So what job would you recommend for a noobie?

warped nest
#

Being absolutely honest? Paladin

smoky edge
#

I was supposed to meet her in Foundation at Noon Server time or whatever the game calls it

warped nest
#

Or Red Mage

smoky edge
#

I'm dead

warped nest
#

Actually any tank is fine

smoky edge
#

Dead like a BLU using a Self-Destruct Macro

warped nest
#

Cuz you got the Eureka potion

pastel crow
#

I'll have to look into them, thank you!

smoky edge
#

Idk why I even have that macro on my hotbar lol

jovial tendon
#

hm my discord follows the #translations-and-liveletters but it seems we never get any updates or translations. is it a bug or do i need permission?

slate arrow
#

tl;dr translations take place exclusively in the discord

twilit arch
slate arrow
#

they only push the annoucement that a live letter is occuring soon

jovial tendon
#

ooohokay

#

got it

#

thanks for the quick help 👍

twilit arch
smoky edge
#

How do I unset a Macro

#

I hate Being BLU and going KABOOM

obsidian patio
#

Macros are just like actions, so you just unbind them or replace it with another action

smoky edge
#

How do I delete it though

#

Is there a way

obsidian patio
#

System > Macro > right-click the macro

warped nest
#

Delete from hotbar is Just drag it off and release it on empty space on the UI

barren holly
#

can we get the emote where we get on our knees and bow in shame

smoky edge
#

Yes

#

I need that

As in, wait till I get into eden savage for i490?

twilit arch

will a fishing retainer be useful if i've never actually done fishing. assume that i lvled up my fishing job through buying fishes on the MB and have never touched a fishing rod

finite ferry
#

fish is pretty cheap and i just buy them for easy grand company seals

twilit arch
#

generally don't recommend a fishing retainer

sage plaza
#

mining retainer seems more useful, for some reason mining stuff's more expensive than botany stuff

oblique aurora
#

what does the priority seal allowance item apply to

twilit arch
#

the fish they can get aren't usually that useful. there are a few minions that are specific to fish retainer but it'd probably be easier to just buy them from the marketboard

finite ferry
#

miners can farm crystal shards which is a bother to travel and farm i heard

midnight slate
#

Is songbird skirt tradeable
I can’t get it till next little ladies

spark wren
#

i see, thanks for the input

twilit arch
#

no, and the only way to get it now is to buy from the mogstation @midnight slate

mossy current
#

Songbird clothing is mogstation only

finite ferry
#

when is the summer event

mossy current
#

Few months

twilit arch
#

moonfire faire is generally in august

midnight slate
#

Let’s see the pricing

mossy current
#

Gold Saucer event is probably first

soft bough
#

i wanna start on the free trial but im having problems downloading the setup

obsidian patio
#

@fringe inlet pretty much. You can start the Shadowbringers relic for a free i485 weapon with 5 slots

fringe inlet
#

Ah

#

Guess I’ll start working on that after actually finishing 5.0

obsidian patio
#

If you haven't already, complete the Stormblood 24-man series, as that's required for the shadowbringers relic.

mossy current
#

Make sure you've done the "Return to Ivalice" questline

fringe inlet
#

Stormblood 24

#

Thats

#

Rakshanta?

mossy current
#

fringe inlet
#

Close enuf

mossy current
#

Ridoranna

#

Orbonne

#

Or whatever

#

There are 3 raids

fringe inlet
#

kk

#

Anything else worth working on?

#

Or is that just endgame now

#

Since poetics seems to end up being better than relic

#

Are they going to remove the weekly cap on shbr tomes?

mossy current
#

Takes a few weeks to get though

fringe inlet
#

Like has it existed for the other ones

#

/been removed

mossy current
#

1000 allegory tomes and 4 of the drops from e8

#

Eventually

#

But allegory won't see uncap until 5.4

#

Which will have better crafted by then

fringe inlet
#

Alright

#

I’ve also heard about people having multiple sets of gear

#

Due to syncing

mossy current
#

Ultimate stuff probably

fringe inlet
#

Is that something I should worry about

obsidian patio
#

That only matters for Ultimate Raids.

mossy current
#

So don't worry

fringe inlet
#

And thats post eden?

mossy current
#

Harder than, but it's after e4

#

I want to do an ultimate, but my lack of skill won't cut it

fringe inlet
#

Skill?

#

How hard are they

#

Like dps race wise

#

Or mechanics

#

A "standard" progression is about 100 hours

Not sure, I've never done one. But they are the hardest challenge in the game

fringe inlet
#

Progression as in multiple stages?

#

Like alexander?

mossy current
#

One single fight

oak ice
#

Progression as in learning how the fight works

obsidian patio
#

The fights themselves are around 15-18 minutes long.

#

For the Ultimate Raids.

fringe inlet
#

What do they drop

oak ice
#

You make "progress" as you get further in the fight

mossy current
#

Cool weapons

oak ice
#

Tokens to trade for weapons

mossy current
#

Usually BiS at the time they come out

obsidian patio
#

They drop very flashy weapons to show off with and a title.

fringe inlet
#

Im guessing this is where I have to start tryharding and using pots/food?

#

and work on fflogs

mossy current
#

You should be doing that normally in savage if you want to try ultimate later

obsidian patio
#

Ultimates are the end-all hardest fights in the game.

mossy current
#

But if you want to start with savage content, try your best with pugs (pick up groups) and join a static (occasional meetup group for content) at around the same place in the tier you are

fringe inlet
#

tier?

mossy current
#

"Floors" of the raid series

fringe inlet
#

I thought it was 1 fight

mossy current
#

i.e Eden 1 savage, 2 savage, etc

fringe inlet
#

Oh

#

Eden

mossy current
#

I'm talking about savage

#

You need to clear savage to get ultimate

#

Occasionally

soft bough
mossy current
#

O4S and O8S had UCOB and UWU respectively last expac

fringe inlet
#

You forgot to unplug the potato

mossy current
#

XIV stuff just takes forever from my experience

fringe inlet
#

27mb tho

soft bough
#

but its just 26.9 mb

fringe inlet
#

Did you burn out your processors or smthg

#

Maybe reboot and try again?

leaden ginkgo
#

When you become a summoner do the carbuncles go away forever D:

mossy current
#

Not forever

#

You can get egi glam

#

Turn egi into Ruby, tobaz and emerald carbuncles

oak ice
#

Quest at 50

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh ok good 😁 thank you

soft bough
#

tried rebooting my pc, i could download a 200mb video in few seconds

#

but not the setup

night canyon
#

Whats a good way to lvl my crafters 70-80 without touching the Ishguard stuff?

tough brook
#

can i recruit a friend if i dont have subscription?

mossy current
#

Reformed, do leves/crystarium quests that involve your crafters

#

Collectables are fine if you can manage them to

night canyon
#

Ah, there are 70-80 leves are there?good

#

I cant stand the collectable mechanic

#

so I avoid it entirely

mossy current
#

Need it for some end game stuf

night canyon
#

I just want the crafters at 80 to finish the bars and make the character sheet look pretty

sage plaza
#

but isn't it just making high quality items?

wispy wren
#

I’m new to the game are there any videos I should watch as like a beginners guide

night canyon
#

then i can ignore them till they need to be 90

sage plaza
#

what's so bad about collectables 🤔

night canyon
#

I have 0 intention of doing any end game crafting or gathering, just want the character sheet

#

to be finished 😛

#

Its massively complex at overwhealming for me, so I dont even want to look at it. When something has too many various interlocked systems it overwhelames me and I move on

sage plaza
#

k

night canyon
#

But if there are levequests I'll just buy the items form the AH

#

and spam them

#

so that solves that

#

thanks

mossy current
#

Yea

night canyon
#

Thats how I did every class 1-70

#

I just didnt know there were 70-80 leves as well

mossy current
#

Can cost a lot sometimes

#

But you might make a profit depending on the DC

night canyon
#

Gil has no real use.How would I make a profit buying things for levequests? lol

mossy current
#

Housing, gear, market board

#

Gil has a lot of uses

night canyon
#

Oh, I dont intend to actually crafgt anything.

mossy current
#

Those don't need crafting though

night canyon
#

So id just buy the levequetst items, get the crafter to 80, then forget it exists till the bar needs to go to 90 lol

mossy current
#

You can buy stuff on Market Board

night canyon
#

You get housing items from doing levequests?

mossy current
#

No

#

"Gil has no real use"

night canyon
#

Ah,right. Well, it doesnt really. Just buying cosmetic stuff for my house, which is fine.

#

But I've never had any shortage of gill.

mossy current
#

To each their own I suppose

night canyon
#

Decorating my house is why i play the game dont get me wrong

#

(and haveing everything at 80 and the MSQ)

#

but I dont consider that a real use haha

#

only I ever see my house

mossy current
#

tbh I only use my fc house

night canyon
#

Ah Im not in a FC

mossy current
#

Put namazus everywhere for April 1st

night canyon
#

been playing solo for the last 17 months

mossy current
#

Do you have your own or something?

night canyon
#

I do

mossy current
#

Good

#

The Exp buffs are good

night canyon
#

I Oh FC? No, I dont lol

#

I thought you meant house

mossy current
#

Some neat FC bonuses like extra storage

#

And actions

night canyon
#

I just do the MSQ roulette every day for the last year for the lvling part for battle jobs

#

all at 70+ 6 more to get to 80

mossy current
#

4 left for me, and I've avoided msq roulette

#

Anyway

#

Offtopic

night canyon
#

Its easy for me, I just study during cutscenes

#

Thats true

#

Well, if anyone ever had some sort of guide to how exactly what buttons to use for the collectable stuff I could give it a go.

#

But the game doesnt tellme anything thats not confusing

mossy current
#

Are you caught up in job quests?

night canyon
#

I dont know what any of the crafting butons do, ive never actually crafted anything

#

For crafters/

#

I havent done a single one lol

#

for battle clases...half are done

#

When I get time I try and do a few here and there.

#

Are there any good guides for how crafting works now?

#

Thres so many buttons its very confusing

mossy current
#

Could Google it. Not sure if there is a kupo bot thing on crafting

night canyon
#

Okay.

obsidian patio
#

nothing too up to date from what I know.

night canyon
#

Thanks for chatting, it has been helpful.

#

Thats my issue I found He-Man

#

All the guides were very out of date

mossy current
#

Remember, it's important to have fun above all else

night canyon
#

So I got overwehlamed and confused and disprited. Sorry sometimes that happens to me

mossy current
#

Stop looking at whats confused and start looking at where to begin

little swift
#

all crafting classes are the exact same now

#

you generally try to build inner quiet stacks

#

then blow them up with byregots

#

then finish your craft

mossy current
#

!action Inner Quiet

little swift
#

with synthesis actions

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Inner Quiet** : lvl 11 CRP (18 CP) (0.0 second cooldown)

Grants a bonus to control with every increase in quality.
Bonus stacks up to 11 times.

night canyon
#

Whats an inner quit stack? An ability?

mossy current
#

Ok

obsidian patio
#

!action Byregot's Blessing

mossy current
#

Kupo bot is outdated

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Byregot's Blessing** : lvl 50 CRP (24 CP) (0 second cooldown)

Increases quality. Inner Quiet effect ends upon use.
Efficiency: 100% plus 20% for each bonus to control granted by Inner Quiet
Success Rate: 100%

mossy current
#

CRP

lone violet
#

Hey everyone I want to get back into playing xiv after finishing the msq for shadowbringers and maxing out my first job dragoon. I want to come back but want to pick up gunbreaker. Will it be possible to level up fast enough to do the post msq stuff to unlock more stuff or should I still stick to my dragoon ?

mossy current
#

Nothing's rushing you

little swift
#

you can do that just fine pepper if tahts what you want

mossy current
#

We got a break between now and 5.3

night canyon
#

pepper, my undertanding is things are delayed now due to CV-19.So theres literally no rush, even if you want to do end game raiding things.

#

So I'd chill and lvl what you find fun

#

Just do your expert everyday, get your special currency

#

And save it up

#

Rest is whatever floats ypour boat

hot eagle
#

leveling tank should be faster as a dps anyway, also u get the armory bonus exp for it also since your drg is a higher lvl allrdy

lone violet
#

Ok thanks guys. I think the reason I got burnt out was cause I was playing dragoon since arr 😂

night canyon
#

Tank can also spam dungeons over and over.

#

If you enjoy dungeon tanking

#

(which i do)

mossy current
#

Tanking is fine

little swift
#

take your time pepper you this game doesn't penalize oyu for it

mossy current
#

DPS is much more fun

night canyon
#

Tanking is THE BEST Azalea >.<

#

😉

mossy current
#

It's only fun when you make the healer panic

#

It's also fun to heal to make the tank panic

lone violet
#

Alright can't wait to get back in FFXIV 😊

night canyon
#

I do that cause I cant avoid the brooms in academy and always get like, 5 stacks.

#

I call it hard mode.

mossy current
#

Stand in the corner with the less number of brooms on that side and slowly follow one , is what I do

#

Hell for melee, but it works

muted sun
#

I know that the GC Squadron can do duties with you up to 60, and Trust works after 70, but is there a group-type for 61-70?

mossy current
#

No

#

Beast tribes and HoH work fine

muted sun
#

Sounds good

night canyon
#

Daily roulettes, dungeons is what I did

#

60-70 mostly

#

I qued as dps for dungeons and did crafting or other side content while I waited

#

or found someone lvling tank/healer in discord

serene crescent
#

i need some help

#

i just started playing the game

night canyon
#

Whats troubling you friend?

olive lintel
#

Block rate or block strength for paladin?

serene crescent
#

and i got a quest that asks me to go somewhere but there's a closed gate that i can't seem to get past

muted sun
#

I don't mind doing roulettes and duties, but I was learning tanking and had hoped there was a way to practice in a group setting without punishing group members 🙂 That said, it's not that bad overall so I could probably stick with roulettes and duties

night canyon
#

Open your quest log, click on the quest, then on 'map

#

and irt will show you where to go.

#

I believe 🙂

serene crescent
#

i did that, i'm standing at the place that appears to be the connecting area

night canyon
#

Now if you are in gridania?

serene crescent
#

but there's a gate that won't open

leaden ginkgo
#

@olive lintel doesn’t really matter iirc since every shield after 50 has equal strength/rate

night canyon
#

There arw two ways into a zone.

muted sun
#

@serene crescent There is probably a different way to go, if the gate is locked for you but you could accept the quest then it likely is not the correct way to go.........but yeah what @night canyon said 🙂

night canyon
#

One is a high lvl half, the other is low lvl half

#

Youre using the wrong gate

#

So have a look for the other entrance gate

serene crescent
#

i'm in uhh the port city i didn't memorize the name yet

night canyon
#

Ah the port city has the same.

#

There is a zone split in half between high and low lvl.

serene crescent
#

limza something, and i have to get to lower la noscea or something like that

night canyon
#

You just need to find the other entrance to the zone.

#

It can be confusing, I was stuck on something similiar as well

mossy current
#

You got noscea right but not limsa

#

Grats on breaking my expectations

#

lol

serene crescent
#

i'll get the names eventually, literally have only been playing for 30 minutes and half of those have been staring at this gate trying to get past it

night canyon
#

So what i recommend is open the map, look for another gate that leads to that zone

serene crescent
#

so i need to find another entrance?

#

ok, will try that, the maps have been confusing me a bit

night canyon
#

Most likely. The other possibility is you need to speak to the gate guard, but thats less likely

serene crescent
#

thanks 🙂

#

yeah i tried looking for any npcs but there's no gate guard

night canyon
#

Then id say thats an entrance that opens later in the story

#

And is closed so you dont walk out into lvl 40 mobs

serene crescent
#

that makes sense don't want my first experience against any kind of monster to be getting oneshot

gloomy ice
#

There are a couple monsters in the starting area that outlevel you by a pretty large margin, but luckily they're passive. Won't attack you unless you attack first.

mossy current
#

Not worth attacking them at all, frankly

#

Better time spent in FATEs and especially MSQ

oblique aurora
#

what does the priority seal allowance item apply to

obsidian patio
#

I think that only applies to roulette bonuses, FATEs, and Grand Company Leves? Can't remember if it works on Crafter/Gatherer turn-ins or Expert Delivery

night canyon
#

What crafting gear is there from 71-80? from 61-70 I could use yellow scripts

#

that doesnt seem to be the case anymore?

boreal lynx
#

Does the free login period start immediate when I log in the launcher to update the game?

obsidian patio
#

You can use the level 70 Handking set for pretty much all of 70-80, with maybe replacing the tools after 75

#

Yes.

boreal lynx
#

FML

night canyon
#

Hrm its just reallytedious pressing like so many buttons with the handking stuff

boreal lynx
#

guess i have to start now

night canyon
#

And I cant max out the stuff with it all the time

#

oh well

timid musk
#

are the anima weapons the first weapons for the heavensward jobs?

obsidian patio
#

If you mean first relic weapons, then yes.

#

first in general, no.

timid musk
#

yeah i meant relic weapons

obsidian patio
#

Expansion jobs don't retroactively get previous expansion relics.

timid musk
#

hella, thank you

leaden ginkgo
#

What level does dark knight start at

mossy current
#

30

leaden ginkgo
#

That’s disgusting

#

Oof okay thx

mossy current

You get it when you're level 50 anyway

#

The level difference isn't bad

leaden ginkgo
#

I am most certainly over leveled rn 😭

#

It’s so tragic

first tearjerk I had in a while

Been hearing that shbr is better but havent really felt it yet

Does it shoot up in quality near the end?

obsidian patio

yep

left cedar
#

Are leves worth it for any reason? I haven't done any at all, despite being in HW now.

little swift
#

For crafters and gatherers yes

#

Not combat classes

left cedar
#

Aah

gloomy ice

They low key acknowledge this by not even adding new combat leves past HW

Gotcha. I haven't talked to the levemetes in HW but I saw they were still around so it made me wonder lol

Thanks!

hi, is it possible to change the field/battle music?

Nope.

Ello, I finished Stormblood, What gear is available now to get? and from where?

You should get Scaevan gear from Rhalgr's Reach

Hi, how many poetics NM drop aprox in Eureka?

#

Someone remember?

jagged crow
#

Which bonuses are most important for a samurai build?

stable elk
#

Just finished end credits for ARR but have a dungeon that lvl 50 but item lvl 45 how do I get better gear? thru crafting or can I buy gear with any of the currencies I have

hot eagle
#

do your jobquests

obsidian patio
#

complete your level 50 job quest

#

that gives a set of gear and your level 50 action

little needle
jagged crow
#

Can one of ye plz answer my question? I have never really known which bonuses are most helpfu

#

helpful*

obsidian patio
#

@jagged crow If you're not level 80 just wear whatever is the highest item level.
Once you are level 80 you can meld your gear according to this:

SKS [to tier*] >> DH = CRT > DET
#

SKS = Skill Speed, DH = Direct Hit, CRT = Critical Hit Rate, DET = Determination

jagged crow
#

mainly asking because I just beat the main campaign and I have the options of 3 earrings and idk which will be most helpful to a sam build

obsidian patio
#

Take whatever has strength on it

#

that's your main stat.

jagged crow
#

mka

#

is determination or crit more helpful?

obsidian patio
#

You'll also start seeing class-locked gear soon, in which case you'll want Striking and Slaying stuff.

#

Don't worry about exact secondary stats before 80.

jagged crow
#

ye one of them is earings of striking

#

get those I guess

obsidian patio
#

@little needle Looks like it may be a modded version of the housemaid dress. That's the only top that looks similar to it from my peering through garland tools.

gloomy ice
#

Yeah, likely a mod, considering that the hyur has elezen ears.

obsidian patio
#

oh, didn't notice that either

dusk merlin
#

Is there any good way to get allied seals? I've only seen maybe 5-6 S ranks in the last year.

slate arrow
#

blue mage

dusk merlin
#

Does that involve Azulmagia or anything like it?

gloomy ice
#

Allied seals from BLU, yeah. Yep. You get seals from new clears in Carnivale or filling the weekly challenges

dusk merlin
#

I straight up gave up on BLU when I hit that

slate arrow
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

dusk merlin
#

Failed about 15 times and cut my losses there

slate arrow
#

it's the only easy way to get a lot of allied seals nowdays

#

since nobody's keeping track of level 50 hunt mobs nowdays

little needle
obsidian patio
#

yeah they modded on black sleeves on top of the white ones

little needle
#

but i dont doubt its modded tho

obsidian patio
#

they even clip in the picture

dusk merlin
#

I guess the weekly hunt board is the only realistic option then?

obsidian patio
#

There's also the daily hunts, the non-fate monsters can be done super quick

#

and if you have a level 70+ job you can roam the ARR zones looking for A ranks to solo

#

since they spawn every... 2-4 hours?

dusk merlin
#

I have tried that but never really came across anything

#

I'll just stick to the weeklies since BLU is a massive troll

north venture
#

I can't find a Scaevan weapon at Rhalgr's reach, what weapon should I get ?

vagrant copper
#

I should probably know this by now but anyone know what this visual effect is caused by or indicating? WAR 51. Goes away when I log out or leave an instanced area. Comes back at some point when fighting.

slate arrow
#

it means you have beast gauge

vagrant copper
#

Hmm. That would make sense but it seems to stay there even if I deplete it.

#

Oh, no... went away that time.

#

What did I do differently? ThinkBeard Thanks though

young fjord
#

I think it start to glow when you are above 50 gauge

vagrant copper
#

It starts for me if I have any. Which can be annoying as I don't have a way to get rid of it at low values lol

#

Just running around all glowy like

main cairn
#

how far am I from getting the retainer and mount? omw to Waking Sands for the first time now

#

been quite a few years since I did this 😄 since heavensward

obsidian patio
#

should literally be the next quest or two for the retainer

pure girder
#

Question: I want to play with some friends on one world. But they are on one that is not Preferred. Is it worth it for me to start on another then transfer to their world later?

main cairn
#

thanks!

obsidian patio
#

as for mounts, that's after joining a grand company at level 20 in the story.

main cairn
#

cool, already 23, so time to continue the story quests

obsidian patio
#

If you mean starting on a preferred world, be aware that you can't transfer off of a preferred world until 90 days pass from character creation.

dusk merlin
#

Did they nerf Azulmagia or something? I just did it on a whim and beat it

obsidian patio
#

Not to my knowledge. namazuthink

#

though if they did it probably happened when BLU's level cap went to 60.

slate arrow
#

you just got good

dusk merlin
#

But I haven't even played BLU since lol

slate arrow
#

the blue mage content isn't hard it's just annoying

pure girder
#

90 days ouch. Exactly how much of a handicap is -100% xp gain? Apparently they still get it even tho it's not listed as preferred for me..

dusk merlin
#

Only difference is the DOOM soundtrack playing

obsidian patio
#

not that drastic, you just need to do your daily roulettes or a few extra dungeon runs every now and then.

pure girder
#

thanks

So I'm having issues 😔 for some reason when I use an Xbox controller sometimes my character will keep moving even after I stopped pressing the controller or won't move when I do it is the same for manipulating the menus and whatnot any advice?

olive lintel
#

Is leveling roulette still worth doing even when im done with daily first try?

#

Im trying to grind levels

obsidian patio
#

no.

#

Roulettes should only be done once a day

#

After you do leveling roulette queue up for the highest level dungeons you can do that aren't level 50/60/70.

vagrant copper
#

Does retainer gear matter much?

blissful matrix
#

yea to reach ilvl requirmeents

obsidian patio
#

Yes, after level 10 or so gear is required to do the hunting and 18-hour ventures

#

it also improves the loot gained from quick ventures.

#

Combat retainers only care about item level, and gathering retainers only care about gathering

vagrant copper
#

Hmm. Good to know. Yet another thing to spend money on. Oh well

dusk merlin
#

When I was leveling I'd just throw my retainer my old gear

blissful matrix
#

exploring ventures for gathering retainers still require ilvl

vagrant copper
#

I just dumped all my old gear before remembering retainers could do more than store stuff. =/

#

Eh, I'll figure out how to make gil some day. Back to MSQ grinding...

Hello

#

May i ask for fishing guide?

boreal monolith
#

How do people change chat channel with ps4 controller?

obsidian patio
#

I just use a USB keyboard for typing and use the chat commands to switch channels.

#

but for a non-keyboard option, I think pressing the touch pad once and then pressing left puts your cursor on the button that lets you choose what your want your current default chat channel to be.

#

might need to press the touch pad twice for it to go to the chat window

warped nest
#

I thought it is a touch pad click

obsidian patio
#

Some UI makes it take two

#

like NG+ and the MSQ tracker

boreal monolith

oh yea its easier

I'm not very well versed in the technical stuff, but unless the controllers are getting worn down it could be a sensitivity issue

it sounds like either a windows or steam overlay issue

it didnt used to happen but then started happening all the time..

#

so how do i acces the steam overlay to see if its the issue

nova umbra
#

um, Clear Vision, Bountiful Yield, Solid Reason, Deep Vigor @warped nest

warped nest
#

!action Clear Vision

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Clear Vision** : lvl 23 MIN (50 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)

Increases the chance of obtaining items on your next gathering attempt by 15%. Does not apply to items at 0%.

warped nest
#

Not very useful

#

!action Bountiful Yield

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Bountiful Yield** : lvl 24 MIN (100 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)

Increases the number of items obtained on your next gathering attempt by one.

warped nest
#

This is slightly useful at endgame rotation

latent haven
#

Which JP server should a new player go to that has a good amount of English-speakers?

slate arrow
#

tonberry or kujata

#

otherwise, any preferred server on the datacenter with tonberry

#

and just world visit tonberry

latent haven
#

Can't make a new character now.

slate arrow
#

until the end of time

warped nest
#

When you are gathering high difficulty legendary nodes with 6 attempts (by default), if you manage to mine items from it 5 times consecutively, you can active a Deep Vigoe Ability, which make sure the rest of your attempts will yield High quality items

slate arrow
#

!status tonberry

warped nest
#

!action Solid Reason

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Solid Reason** : lvl 25 MIN (300 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)

Grants another gathering attempt.

latent haven
#

Tonberry is under Elemental. If I join a server under Elemental, can I change to other servers within Elemental?

warped nest
#

@nova umbra clear vision, no. Bountiful Yield, solid reason, and deep vigor are essential in increasing High Quality yield from Legendary Nodes.

@latent haven

little swift
#

You can also pay for server changed

nova umbra
#

what does deep vigor actually mean? It says it increases the chance of obtaining regular or HQ items, so it's random?

slate arrow
#

no

latent haven
#

Ahh ok.

slate arrow
#

you use it to guarentee item yield

#

best used with levequests

#

so you spam 100% low level item, deep vigor, get a high quality item, profit for maximum points without rng

nova umbra
#

ooh neat, thanks

main cairn
#

did they change grand company? or is there still no difference between some armor looks?

slate arrow
#

the only difference is cosmetic and it's just a color reskin i think

main cairn
#

can't really decide 😄

#

cool! Limsa it is then

#

best city by far

nova umbra
#

I mostly based my decision on how close it was to an aetheryte

#

because I'm lazy 🙂

warped nest
#

!action Deep Vigoe

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Deep Vigor** : lvl 25 MIN (0.0 second cooldown)

Increases the chance of obtaining regular or HQ items to 100%. Does not apply to items at 0%. Can only be activated after chain #4.

warped nest
#

@nova umbra legendary nodes has 6 gathering attempts

#

Unlike normal nodes, which usually has 4

#

So, if you manage to mine into a chain of 4, you can pop Deep Vigor

#

And the remaining mining attempt will yield HQ. Clear vision here will give you more attempts, and Bountiful Yield will increase the amount you get?

stable elk
#

Good starter samurai ability rotation setups ? Just switched over from ninja and wanna try it out

warped nest
#

Lvl 50?

stable elk
#

Yeah also I’m controller

slate arrow
#

tl;dr speed buff > sen, damage buff > Iajitsu > sen, spam midare (all 3 sen) until DoT (one sen) is almost up, repeat

warped nest
#

That's the boss opener

stable elk
#

Any screenshots I can see for PS4 player ?

warped nest
#

You don't want that

#

Samurai gets a lot of skills from 50-80, they uses close to 32 slots, and what's comfy for me might not work for you.

#

My current advice

#

Go find a striking dummy, same level or lower level than you

#

Remove ALL skills off your hotbar

#

Open your Action and Trait window

#

Read your trait from lvl 1-50

#

Then slowly add skills to your hotbar, read their tooltips, then use them on the striking dummy

#

This simulate leveling up a samurai from lvl 1

stable elk
#

Gotcha thanks

#

Is samurai harder to play than ninja ?

warped nest
#

Imo, same ish

candid cloak
warped nest
#

@stable elk

#

Additional info on the bottom

#

Take note that Samurai has 2 kenki traits that allow them to generate kenki from doing basic combos, these two traits are lvl 52 and 62 respectively

#

Seeing that you are level 50 for now, you can ignore them in any text for the time being

dusty jungle
#

Anyone know the minimum and maximum range for hidden housing timer? Or at least the community consensus on what it is?

slate arrow
#

it's completely random

#

some people have reported waiting up to 3-5 days, maybe more

#

so basically you either idle or you hope you get lucky

latent haven
#

How much content is there in just the base game? I haven't bought the expansions yet.

#

Like, how many hours can I pour into from the game?

slate arrow
#

a lot

warped nest
#

@candid cloak sorry that my answers have buried your question

#

Do you mind posting it again

latent haven
#

Define 'a lot'. 10 hours? 100 hours? Till death?

warped nest
#

So others can see it?

slate arrow
#

well

warped nest
#

Very hard to estimate

slate arrow
#

the MSQ will take you anywhere from 10 to 30 hours depending on cutscenes

warped nest
#

Because people don't stay in base game

slate arrow
#

additional endgame content (level 50 junk) is 10-20 hours

#

leveling all the jobs to 50 is limitless

#

doing crafting and gathering will take 10-20 hours

warped nest
#

Probably around 5-7 days per DOW/M?

#

Same goes for DoH/L

#

Assuming playing 8-12 hours

latent haven
#

So in short, I can expect a lot of playtime in just the base game. Sweet.

slate arrow
#

oh and the endless number of patch quests before heavensward

latent haven
#

Patch quests?

slate arrow
#

the game introduces new story quests in between expansions

oak ice
#

Don't forget multiple hours and breaches of sanity doing the relics

slate arrow
#

which are bundled with the current expansion

warped nest
#

Yeah, you don't want to do relic

slate arrow
#

(for instance, we're currently on 5.2 for Shadowbringers)

warped nest
#

That's very bad for mental health

proud willow
#

between launch and the first expansion Heavensward, there was a lot of content added in patches

warped nest
#

5.0 is base expansion

#

5.1 and 5.2 are patched contents

proud willow
#

Story yes, but also lots of additional dungeons and sidequests and activities

latent haven
#

Story quests are nice. More story for me.

#

I read that you can change your classes. That is nice to me. I don't like sticking to one class cuz I don't to start from scratch just to try out a new class.

warped nest
#

!whoclasses @warped nest

#

Time for me to flex again

slate arrow
#

!whoclasses @slate arrow

warped nest
#

Btw, if you enjoy comedy

slate arrow
#

:^)

warped nest
#

FFXIV has a very well received questline

#

Hildibrand

#

It is about the comedic adventurer of a gentleman detective

#

It starts at

#

I don't remember, does it start at... 50?

slate arrow
#

yes

#

they're "endgame"

warped nest
#

It is 👌 and most_gentlemanly

latent haven
#

Do I need to be 'endgame level' if I want to start the expansions or are they playable from the start?

slate arrow
#

expansions continue the story so on top of having to hit level cap

#

you need to do all the patch quests

#

this isn't WoW or your other typical MMO

#

here the story is the main content

#

you can't skip the story or leveling (without paying)

latent haven
#

So I need to finish the base game before I can do the expansions. Got it.

warped nest
#

The expansion is consecutive too bte

#

You can't skip to Shadowbringers directly after you finished ARR

#

(unless you pay for story skip)

sacred sparrow
#

is there any reason to run content from arr or prior expansions (raids)?

#

do people still do those, like as a new player would I be able to experience them?

warped nest
#

Mounts, glamour, and materials (sometimes)

#

Yes, people still do them

sacred sparrow
#

sweet

warped nest
#

Will you be able to experience them? Very hard

sacred sparrow
#

was gonna be sad

warped nest
#

Most players do these without level sync

sacred sparrow
#

so they just blast through it?

warped nest
#

They would do lvl 50 trials with lvl 80 job

#

Yes

sacred sparrow
#

that's okay

#

still better than nothing

warped nest
#

You can still find people or guilds who would like to do these synced

#

Take note that I am referring to EX trials and Savage raids

#

Normal trials, Alliance raids, and Normal raid are all doable with Duty Finder with level sync

sacred sparrow
#

oh okay, so all in all I should easily be able to at least experience them visually/narrative-wise

#

good stuff

limber jasper
#

umm it seems I can only pick up 2 other classes in the starting town? and then a few gathering/crafting ones?

#

if so where can I get the others?

dusky nest
#

in the other cities

#

you will unlock airships as part of the msq that allows you to go to the others. once you have your class quests on lvl 10 complete, you can unlock others

echo tapir
#

yea unlocking airship is like level 15 onward

limber jasper
#

oh 😦 damn only caster is conjurer here ugh

warped nest
#

We generally don't recommend maintaining so many classes at the same time

#

It will severely slow you down with your msq

limber jasper
#

my what?

warped nest
#

Main Scenario quest

#

Please do your story

proud willow
#

At the very least, you may want to stick to one class until you hit the level 20 Main Scenario Quest, so that you can unlock mount riding

limber jasper
#

sadly archer seems fairly clunky 😦

warped nest
#

You are at lvl 10

#

Or lower

#

You have like 5% of your tools right now

pastel pond
#

Anyone got an easy to follow dragoon rotation?

limber jasper
#

10 yeah the attacks don't fire very well

warped nest
#

What level, Kraniel?

pastel pond
#

50

warped nest
#

At low level, the game just focus on teaching you how to navigate, do quests, interact etc etc

#

Lvl 50

#

Umm one sec

pastel pond
#

Ty

warped nest
#

@pastel pond dont DM questions

#

Try to keep them here

#

At level 50

limber jasper
#

idk why but it feels like as an archer i'm basically a caster and theres no ability queueing and it almost feels like there are no auto attacks and as if the attacks aren't coming from the bow lol idk how to describe it

warped nest
#

You do your True Thrust, Disembowel, Chaos Thrust

#

Then you do the other combo twice

#

Then you go back to Chaos Thrust Combo again

pastel pond
#

Thanks.
