Use your damage Ability whenever they are ready

#

Who has Sam and dragoon

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:14 AM

#

Here

pastel pond Apr 18, 2020, 11:14 AM

#

How do you find the two?

limber jasper Apr 18, 2020, 11:14 AM

#

so yeah because of that I was thinking of swapping to a melee or caster hoping they would feel nicer

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:14 AM

#

Samurai has a few too many buttons, but overall easy to use

#

Dragoon combo flows nicely, but you do need to align buffs and what not

proud willow Apr 18, 2020, 11:15 AM

#

There's always the option of starting your character over on a different class

i just spent all my money on fending lvl 50, 115 ilvl gear. Is that fine until level 60?

proud willow Apr 18, 2020, 11:15 AM

#

but really, it's a very short trip to level 15

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:15 AM

#

You should have asked here first

pastel pond Apr 18, 2020, 11:15 AM

#

I've been stuck with going with ninja, dragoon or samurai

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:15 AM

#

Before spending the gil

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 11:16 AM

#

hahaha

#

sorry i got carried away

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:16 AM

And no

i just spent all my money on fending lvl 50, 115 ilvl gear. Is that fine until level 60?
@olive lintel msq would have given you gear for free also u could have used poetics

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:16 AM

#

It will last you into lvl 52/53 Main Scenario, assuming you got the HQ version

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 11:16 AM

#

i can just resell this right?

#

if ever

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:16 AM

#

If you got NQ, then you are better off with i110 blue gears from Mor dhona

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 11:16 AM

#

xD

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:16 AM

#

At a massive lost, yes

pastel pond Apr 18, 2020, 11:16 AM

#

Someone can tell me the pros and cons of ninja, Sam and dragoon?

hot eagle Apr 18, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

once used its bound to you

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

whats NQ

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

normal quality

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

Normal Qualoty

#

Normal Quality white gear has neutered stats

#

High Quality white gears has the correct stat matching their ilvl

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

HQ gear has this little symbol on it

📎 unknown.png

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

They matters once you are lvl 50 and above

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

am i screwed ? lol

📎 unknown.png

obsidian wren Apr 18, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

Sam is all raw dps no utility, nin is very high utility and low personal dps and drg is a middle ground

#

Pro and con wise

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

You'll be fune you just lost money

obsidian wren Apr 18, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

Nin also needs a lotta fast inputs with their hand signs

pastel pond Apr 18, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

Maybe not nin then

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

anyways, can i buy something with real money in mog station that I can sell for gold?

obsidian wren Apr 18, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

And if you mess up your combination you can lose a lotta damage output

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

No

pastel pond Apr 18, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

I'm new to the game. I'm stuck choosing dragoon or ninja.

fast plinth Apr 18, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

hi, i have got a question, i am on free trial, and was wondering if SE would delete the account if i am inactive for a year

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

Answering the pro/con for Samurai, Dragoon, and Ninja is too much for me to type on phone

#

Lol, imma let someone else do it

#

No, they won't erase you data

#

You are free to swap to a different job with the same character

#

1 character can play it all

#

You don't need to commit to your initial choice

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

thanks guys. gbye 200k gil

obsidian wren Apr 18, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

Idk much about nin or sam, but drg has a pretty fixed rotation

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

Are they HQ or NQ?

#

HQ is fine

#

NQ is not

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

rayu got HQ gear

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

Then he is fine

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

they are all HQ

proud willow Apr 18, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

they appear to be HQ besides the shield

pastel pond Apr 18, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

Anyone know which is more beginner friendly

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

Sam and drg

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

All of them

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

thanks guys!

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

Nin is too if you take 10 mins to read skills

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

so what does it mean if i bought HQ

#

i mean i know its high quality

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

Seriously, you can pick by "oh shit, this is cool" parameter

obsidian wren Apr 18, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

Nin requires some memorization for the mudras so i guess that has a bit of a wall where u gotta study up

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

but why am i not losng that much?

obsidian wren Apr 18, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

Wouldnt say it's difficult

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

HQ items has the correct stat matching their ilvl

obsidian wren Apr 18, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

Just takes some time

pastel pond Apr 18, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

Hmmm. Im do stuck between Sam and dragoon 😂

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

You can't start as samurai

obsidian wren Apr 18, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

Play drg until 50 then unlock sam

#

And then decide which you like more

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

Sam is lvl 50+

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

thanks thanks im relieved

What kind of accessories should I purchased for classes like ninja and samurai? Fending , aiming , slaying ect..

silk yarrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

is monk lower tier in terms of the dps you'd want in a static, or should i swap to another class?

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:23 AM

#

Ninja, Scouting armors, Aiming accessories. Samurai, striking armor, strength accessories

Meta Jobs FAQ

Info

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

Click here for the best jobs in the game though

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:23 AM

#

All jobs are viable to clear any in game contents

#

The best jobs are for party who are trying to kill a boss as soon as possible

#

Which is NOT significantly faster

silk yarrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

ah okay, i've always taken the "minmaxing best dps possible" is for the /hardcore/ players anyways

#

i'll stick to mnk then

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

Hardcore players don't even care that much, mostly just for people trying to make records

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:26 AM

#

The only recommendation we do have is to have 1-2 other jobs in your pocket

#

So you can swap to them

#

If your group has a dude who plays only Monk and nothing else

silk yarrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:26 AM

#

ah yeah, i try to focus on 2 roles and if i'm cut in the end for savage content shit happens

#

it's just time to try my luck in pubs in that case rofl

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

good luck and have fun

pastel pond Apr 18, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

Anyone have the graph for APM?

how is the endgame content for shadowbringers?

What's Yoshi P doing via a live chat?

silk yarrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

i don't mind opiniated takes, i'd prefer it if so lol

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

What info are you looking for, Chrom?

silk yarrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

hmm, is it super /hardcore/ pandered? like in the sense that you'll have to minmax to the highest tiers to clear content

slate arrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

no

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

Only for the 3 Ultimate raids

slate arrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

you just have to meet the minimum item level and have good coordination between 8 people

silk yarrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

so strategy as opposed to number checks?

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

The savage raids can be cleared with their recommended item level, which is relatively easy to get

slate arrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

oh there's still minimum DPS checks

#

so it's both

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

Combination of mechanical dancing and DPS checks

silk yarrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

that's still fun to me honestly

#

can't have it /too/ easy

gaunt brook Apr 18, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

Whats something good to spend company seals on? i keep getting close to the cap

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

Answering the APM question

#

I can't produce a graph

#

But

#

Venture, Choco

#

Monk is the highest because their Greased Lightning buff reduce their GCD significantly

#

Then it is Ninja and Samurai

gaunt brook Apr 18, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

oh right ventures

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

Then you just have the rest of the jobs

gaunt brook Apr 18, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

i wish there was more you could get with company seals

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

Some items have good NPC selling prices

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

You turn it into gil

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

You can always convert your GC seals into gils yeah

gaunt brook Apr 18, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

oo right

halcyon rune Apr 18, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

Glam prisms

gaunt brook Apr 18, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

So gil and ventures

#

nah ive got like 50 already from it

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

Make sure you compare store selling price vs GC seal cost

#

I am very sure that Moonstone has very bad ratio

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

Also recommend checking your MB for things you can sell from GC

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

The best ratio items iirc only cost 100 GC seals per unit

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

Currently in cactaur scheelite sells well

#

So I use that

gaunt brook Apr 18, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

oo im cactuar too ill go for that then

silk yarrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

is the alliance pvp stuff dead? i always enjoyed running it as basic as it was ages ago

slate arrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

it's 4:30 am in california at the moment so

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

PvP stuffs are generally not popular

#

Plus yeah bad hours

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

FF14 isn't a pvp oriented game so yeah not a lot of ppl are into it here

#

and if ppl DO do pvp, it's usually just frontline roulette from what I've heard

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

Not popular but if you play a healer around noon-afternoon you usually won'y be waiting for queues

tame magnet Apr 18, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

So no advice on the Xbox controller thing then

silk yarrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

ah, so as it was back then

slate arrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

nope

silk yarrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

it was usually a nice timesink when i got bored of running dailies tbh

slate arrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

try reinstalling drivers

#

or using an alternate input method (like the Steam Overlay)

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

I just run it for the glams lol

gaunt brook Apr 18, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

also with class gear like the drachen armor

#

can you get it back if you discard it

slate arrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

yes

#

calamity salvager in each of the 3 city states

gaunt brook Apr 18, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

phew

slate arrow Apr 18, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

do note it's only the level 45 and 50 gear

#

if you want the i90 gear you need to exchange antiques in mor dhona

gaunt brook Apr 18, 2020, 11:38 AM

#

ah nah i just messed up and got rid of my drachen armor but i wanna get back into lancer so i have an 80 DPS

How long would it take to get to lvl 1-50 farming potd?

Do FATE to level to 15 ish first

oh i did potd and im lvl 13 now woops

#

does it matter?

proud willow Apr 18, 2020, 11:51 AM

#

Doesn't matter, but getting to at least 15 is faster outside of PotD, or at least that's the generally accepted wisdom

warped nest Apr 18, 2020, 11:52 AM

How do I get gp? I seem to run out very quick and can't get much from enemies (mostly get them from FATEs and quests)

Also what stats are good for a Pugilist?

How do i convert seals to gil?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

Mostly just sell the materials you can get by seals in the market

#

Very world-dependent tho

#

Some worlds have, for example, glass fibers for 24k gil each. While others have them for less

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 12:43 PM

@crystal bluff 1: these are things only intended for one character to wear and were added to Mogstation out of demand or 2: these are Chinese or Korean outfits that were added to Mogstation out of demand

slate arrow Apr 18, 2020, 1:31 PM

(both were rewards from the FF13 crossover quest but which one you got was dependent on your current gender)

#

ah yeah no only hien was intended to wear it so it's only for male characters

It could be worse and only be for hyurs :^)

How do you die slower as a tank? Do I use all of the available mitigations during the start of each pulls, or do I use it one by one so I always have something on?

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

preferably 1 by 1 imo

#

(from a PLD's PoV) usually sheltron and reprisal do the job just fine for me, when I do double pulls

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

Issue is if I do it 1 by 1 I get wrecked, and I am not even doing big pulls

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

Reprisal + 1 cd usually means you can tank most pulls

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

Like always went below half HP

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

then your healer sucks most likely

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

Tend to do Reprisal + Arms Length + and Shadow Wall (DRK)

#

And then I don't go below half HP

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

Your healer may suck or they may just be waiting for you to drop low to heal

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

I mean, well this happens too often

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

what is your healer doing exactly

#

are they doing DPS? are they actually healing you?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

Example is gonna be Fractal Continuum, where I always pull the whole of first room

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

are they ONLY healing?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

Which from some guides I watch is what you want to do

#

Since they drop dead quick, I almost always had to panic Invul since I drop low

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

how big is the pull? I don't have that dungeon unlocked

#

like 6-8 mobs?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

Oh uuuh like 6 trash mob and 1 big robot

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

the equivalent of a double pull basically

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

By the time I reach the robot, 2-3 of the mobs are dead

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

ok so it sounds like your DPS are doing a good job
just not your healer.

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

below half HP is fine.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

I do know dungeons like Doma castle mobs eat tanks for dinner but, is it really true?

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 1:52 PM

!action excogitation

zinc orbitBOT Apr 18, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

**Excogitation** : lvl 62 SCH (1 None) (45.0 second cooldown)

Grants self or target party member the effect of Excogitation, restoring HP when member's HP falls below 50% or upon effect duration expiration.
Cure Potency: 800

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

for example requires you to be below half hp to activate

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

Not a SCH

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

Are you popping invuln when you get below 50? Cause a lot of healers donzt start healing till then to not overheal

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

Tend to have the issue with WHM

#

~~Spamming holy~~

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

spamming holy is a good thing tho
the WHM just has to make sure they actually heal too

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

I know how most of the heal skills works, like that AST ring

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

So I started FFXIV and there are races and deities you pick on character creation. How significant are the choices in the game?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

Cosmetic

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

purely cosmetic

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

They aren't anymore

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

And some dialogues

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

@latent haven minimal, they are like 5-15 points difference but stats can got to 3000-4000 at max level

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

races, gods and your birthday make no difference at all

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

For example, sometimes they refer you as your race. For me ie. That Auri Dark Knight!

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

The deities affect cosmetics as well?

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

no

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

nope

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

Other times other NPC acknowledges your race, like when I enter the Auri homeland and they see me as one

#

Dieties are just flavor text

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

by cosmetic, I mean just for looks.

#

Menphina being my deity doesn't affect anything.

📎 unknown.png

crystal bluff Apr 18, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

"the lover"
JalterLewd

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

Being a Halone worshipping DRK is quite blasphemy but whatever

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

I guess your nameday and your deity can be used for RP reasons

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

nah, thats lore-approriate

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

So the deities only affect what NPCs may refer to you?

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

no

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

No

#

Race does

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

your race does.

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

the OG DRK are a sect of ishgardians knights and ishgard worships halone

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

i.e. if you're a hyur ppl will sometimes use the adjective "hyuran" to refer to you

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

so its pretty on p[oint

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

I know

#

But

#

~~Holy magic~~

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

So I can just pick whatever deity and it won't matter that much, yes?

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

yeah

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

~~PLD's Wrath of Halone~~

crystal bluff Apr 18, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

yes

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

Also

#

Hrothgar and Viera sometimes have no helmet models

#

So, be mindful of that

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

Orite. I'll just pick whichever deity sounds the coolest.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

Like when you equip a helmet, Vieras tend to not have the model

magic light Apr 18, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

do scholar shields work in the great hunt

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

I don't have the expansions yet so I don't have the other races.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

And Hrothgars and Vieras are gender-locked

#

You doing trial?

blissful matrix Apr 18, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

i have yet to figure a reason behind the dieties , other than rp

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

I bought the base game but not the expansions yet.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

~~You missed out on a great 50% off deal then~~

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

patron deity use to give elemental resistances, but it doesn't any more so yes they are there for RP reasons, thats it

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

@magic light phase 1 yes, phase 2 no

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

Yea I was kinda pissed that I missed the 40% discount 2 weeks ago. I checked the store AFTER the discount ended. I crai.

crystal bluff Apr 18, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

oofers

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

Just make sure to learn your roles, especially as a tank. People get toxic real fast if you suck as a tank

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

I think I'll be playing solo mostly.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

You need a party to play dungeons

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

no you won't be lol
you'll need parties for most content

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

You need dungeons to progress

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

you can do MSQ solo yeah, but dungeons, trials, raids, you'll need people.

crystal bluff Apr 18, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

the game forces you to do play in a party more than a handful of times

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

Parties are like for 90% of the non gathering/crafting content

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

How easy is it to level up classes solo?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

You mean without dungeons?

#

Or just playing with randoms

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

Uhh...sure.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

You'd wish for death

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

playing normally, pretty easy

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

I assume without dungeons
so
good luck lmao

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

^

#

FF14 is very social oriented

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

without dungeons, near impossible. since without dungeons you cant even progress your msq main quest

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

^

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

What happens if I DC'd while in a party?

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

you can join back when you RC

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

The norm is for the people to wait for you

#

to rejoin

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

personally I wait like 3min before I kick the DC

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

Or they can be assdicks and kick you out

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

people usually wait at least 3 -5 minutes before kicking

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

"Haha yes! Kick the tank, we don't need him!" They say as the boss is eating the life off their soul

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

also you cant be kicked before 5 minutes have passed in the dungeon.

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

And that's one of the reasons why I prefer soloing. Don't have to deal with people getting pissed at me for when my wifi is acting up.

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

iirc it's 10 minutes

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

I mean, most people have shart connections anyways

green furnace Apr 18, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

whens the daily reset for eu? think

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

If you do not want to bear any responsibility (well not as much) just play a DPS class

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

I just don't want people to get mad at me because of my shit wifi.

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

press ctrl+u, theres a timer there

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

in an hour @green furnace

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

If people are mad at you for shit wifi then they are just being toxic

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

ppl don't get mad, like electronic said, it's the norm to wait for ppl to come back.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

~~Is being an ass bannable if you have proof?~~

green furnace Apr 18, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

@forest laurel thanks namikoHug

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

How toxic is this game anyway? I'm absolutely new here.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

From what I see

#

Up until lvl 70s

#

It is quite peaceful

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

the vast majority of the time I don't see any toxicity

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

Good to know.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

When you start playing the later stuff, it gets some toxicity

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

So what class should I use as a starter?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

The usual assdicks that flame you for not knowing to to do the boss mechanics eventhough you are running the boss for the first time

#

What kind of playstyle do you like?

#

Depends on that

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

I press button, enemy die. Lul.
I'm thinking of using mage.

#

Ranged class.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

So casters then?

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

then your starter class would be thaumaturge

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

You have 2 starting choices

#

Arcanists and Thaumaturge

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

ah right, arcanist too

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

Later on they upgrade to Summoner and Black Mage

#

respectively

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

I can change classes later in the game right?

faint flare Apr 18, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

Yes

crystal bluff Apr 18, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

yes

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

Yes

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

thaumaturge becomes black mage
arcanist is the only class that becomes two jobs: summoner (DPS) and scholar (healing)

#

summoner and scholar level at the same time

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

Summoner can summon mini versions of some of the boss

#

Black Mage is the highest magic DPS overall

#

But they are hard to play (long cast times, requires you to be stationary most of the time)

scarlet compass Apr 18, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

Hello guys! I completed nier automata raid and I received some itens from it. Is there any frame of time I must wait until I'm able to get more itens from that quest?

faint flare Apr 18, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

No

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

Later on at lvl 50 you will unlock the Red Mage class

faint flare Apr 18, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

You can spam the raid as much as you want

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

~~If you bought the Stormblood expansion~~

#

~~Or any expac since it includes all~~

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

the only thing that is weekly locked is the clusters

#

but everything else is uncapped

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

and allegory tomestones.

scarlet compass Apr 18, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

@faint flare and I'll be able to get itens from nier automata? The reason why I'm asking this it's because I read somewhere if you get something you got to wait a certain perior of time until you are able to get more stuff

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

didn't mention allegory because that's not specific to the nier raid

forest laurel Apr 18, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

ah

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

danHmm that sounds like someone's weird confirmation bias

#

or you misunderstood someone talking about the weekly lockout

faint flare Apr 18, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

@scarlet compass the weekly lock is removed on all the nier stuff except thr cracked clusters

#

There used to be a weekly lock on the gear

#

But that's removed

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 2:12 PM

cos thats mad expensive

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:15 PM

How do I join a guild? (Sorry, I'm very new to the game and I might have missed that)

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:18 PM

Free Company?

lean dragon Apr 18, 2020, 2:18 PM

Is it the same?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:18 PM

Yeah

#

So

#

Uuuh

#

You got your Grand Company yet?

#

Twin Adder, Maelstorm, Immortal Flames. You joined any of that?

Is there any easy way to on/off the BGM?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

Adders have yellow and green motifs, Maelstrom have a red and black motif, while Immortal Flame have a brown-ish coloration

#

An NPC in the Grand Company office will guide you through the Free Company process

oak ice Apr 18, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

You can either right click on a member of an FC you want to join, select "View Company Profile" and put in an application, or wait until someone sends an invite

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

Or that

#

I'd say just progress through the MSQ so you can access the FC board

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

@leaden ginkgo so will full augmented blue scrip gear for 60, you can use the rotation just fine. in fact, don't even need part of it. This is with stats from a full blue scrip gear setup

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:22 PM

Oh yeah, doesn't this server have a recruiting channel?

#

Yes

#

~~Right?~~

But he only talks to you if you joined an FC

He just gives me two options, to learn more about FCs and how to create one (I'm not L25 yet)

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:23 PM

the OIC administrator is only for FC leader/people with permissions to mess with FC settings/actions

lean dragon Apr 18, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

I see

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

There's no in-game free company finder or whatever

#

you can use #light-recruitment to try and find a free company here, or shout in a city like limsa for an invite

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

There are none then, never bothered to join any FCs :/

#

~~Don't accept people who randomly invite you to FCs tho, especially if you don't know them~~

lean dragon Apr 18, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

Why?

#

I mean, I wasn't going to do it anyway but is there a reason not to?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

Eh, just that it tends to be empty FCs who just want to buff up their numbers

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

@leaden ginkgo ok so readjusted somethings, and with the blue scrip gear you'll be able to get 2nd tier rewards just fine, just won't be able to get the 3rd tier

#

but make sure you're using something like tempura platter

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

~~Or an evil lalafel cult trying to ascend Nanamo as the true god of Eorzea, toppling down all opposition and making sure all the tall races enslaved~~

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

ahh okay, will do! thanks so much

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

Nothing wrong with joining an empty fc to get the buffs

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

Fair enough

lean dragon Apr 18, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

Also, this might be a pretty newb question, but how do jobs work? From what I've seen I can't be a Black Mage until L30, but I've seen there's like other jobs such as Fisher and Miner. Can't I join those?

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

to be a bit pedantic, fisher/miner are classes not jobs

crystal bluff Apr 18, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

you can
there are your standard "combat" jobs
as well as gathering and crafting classes

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

That said, once you complete your lvl 10 class quest, you're given the ability to join other guilds to become different classes

#

Jobs are essentially "better" classes for the combat jobs

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

^
The lvl 30 stuff just means: "Play this class to lvl 30 to unlock it's advanced form"

#

Lancer to Dragoon, Thaumaturge to Black Mage

#

The starting classes are well, starters

#

The advanced jobs are where the true gameplay start since you start getting abilities that really distinguishes you from other class/jobs

#

For example, Lancer is just a guy with a spear. But then you advance to Dragoon at lvl 30 and you unlock jumping attacks

lean dragon Apr 18, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

Yeah, I chose Thaumaturge, so does that mean right now (L16) I can choose other class? Also are classes like Paladin, Thaumaturge... classes or jobs?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

^ yes you can

crystal bluff Apr 18, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

lancer=stick boy
dragoon=stick boy wearing jordans

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

assuming you've done your lvl 10 class quest, yeah you could go unlock other classes

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

Paladin is a Job (advanced)

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

Paladin is the job of Gladiator

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

Class is the basic ones

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

Thaumaturge is the class for Black Mage

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

^
Each class except Arcanist only have 1 job

lean dragon Apr 18, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

Ohh I get it now

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

If you do not like Thaumaturge, you can change to any of the starting class and Rogue for free

#

Right now

lean dragon Apr 18, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

And where do I change class? Also if I change it I suppose there's a level reset or something, right?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Oh yeah, you just unlocked Rogue btw since you passed lvl 15

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

for the limsa classes, you may need to wait a bit before you can unlock them since you need to have airship access

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Yes it resets, each class have separate levels

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

You go to the class's guild, do the unlock quest and then equip the weapon given to you

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Except Scholar and Summoner but don't worry about it

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

easy peasy

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

Depends on what class you want to switch to

lean dragon Apr 18, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

Got it!

#

Thank y'all so much!

I might keep asking though, pretty new to MMORPGs in general

#

last stupid Q of the day, what's the best way to level dancer 60-70 and how long will it take 😄

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

Quite sure you just do roulettes and stuff?

#

Then again poor DPS queue

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

Daily leveling/msq/alliance roulette then highest lvl dungeon if queue times are decent, if not do heaven on high (61-70)

#

can also do the ananta/kojin beast tribe dailies/fates

main cairn Apr 18, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

Heaven on High! time to unlock that 😄

blissful matrix Apr 18, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

theres also heaven on high

#

yea

#

I like doing potd straight into hoh

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

so upon beating SHB what is the path to gearing up

dull saddle Apr 18, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

Sorry, silly question, but how do you turn in a combination of low and high quality items for a crafting quest?

sinful breach Apr 18, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

you just turn them in?

dull saddle Apr 18, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

Well, it's not letting me?

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

unlock the twinning in crystarium, akadaemia anyder in eulmore and use whatever phanta you get from that to buy a few pieces of gear to continue with msq to unlock the grad cosmos and the aynder anmesis to unlock expert and the lvl 80 roulette. Unlock eden in crystarium to get to eden verse to start doing that for weekly tokens

#

you can't do halves

sinful breach Apr 18, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

sometimes they want you to turn it in different stacks, like stacks of 1

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

you have to either turn it all in as HQ or turn it in as all NQ

blissful matrix Apr 18, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

Some quests that dont ask for HQ items won't accept them

#

which are usually the early crafting/gatherer quests

#

1-20

dull saddle Apr 18, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

It wants 12 copper rings, I have a HQ stack of 14 and a regular stack of 3, but it's only letting me pick/drop the HQ stack

blissful matrix Apr 18, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

yea youll have to lower the quality unless it wants you to turn in HQ

Where should i fish at lvl 70 in the diadem

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:44 PM

depends on whether you're going materials to desynth from the fish

#

or just going for points

#

but general recommendation is to fish at 29,31 and go for gobbie masks since they give the most points +scrips

nova umbra Apr 18, 2020, 2:47 PM

do people actually just farm these things for hours?

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 2:48 PM

if you die turning a trial, then you either wait for someone to raise you or stay dead @white sinew

the only trial that lets you respawn during the boss fight is steps of faith

You stay dead until you hit respawn

the level 50 miner quest for heavenward is pretty hard like is there anyway to find ‘hidden’ ores better ? i’m trying to get the HQ mythrite but no luck much

open coral Apr 18, 2020, 2:49 PM

There is never a chat message when a player dies

dull saddle Apr 18, 2020, 2:52 PM

So I'm just getting back into the game, lvl 46 dragoon with 15 marauder and 6 pugilist. Should I get pug to 12 before leveling dragoon more?

open coral Apr 18, 2020, 2:53 PM

Up to you. Jobs no longer require other classes in order to upgrade

dull saddle Apr 18, 2020, 2:53 PM

But you still get cross skills, right?

open coral Apr 18, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

No

dull saddle Apr 18, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

😮

blissful matrix Apr 18, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

only the role skills

open coral Apr 18, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

There are now “role skills” that every class/job of each type gets. Some of those were cross-class skills in the past

#

But they’re standardized now and don’t have any external requirements

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

would it be smartest to just get miner to 80 and then do the class quests ?

dull saddle Apr 18, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

Ahhh... okay, thank you

oak ice Apr 18, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

Tons of exp going to waste that way

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

Cross skills, haven't heard that in... Never since I began playing last month... They were a classification for skills like Reprisal, Second Wind, etc. right?

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

how is that gonna waste xp?

#

i mean like get to 70 technically

open coral Apr 18, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

Cross class skills were abilities that one job learned but could be used by another

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

then do all the class quest

oak ice Apr 18, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

You don't get any exp on a maxed out job

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

Yeah those then

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

well that’s why i meant getting to 70

blissful matrix Apr 18, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

@leaden ginkgo the class quests have better exp/time than other methods

#

you can literally skip a level sometimes

open coral Apr 18, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

For example, CNJ learned Protect, and that could be shared by PLD since CNJ was the secondary class needed for that job

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 2:57 PM

they also unlock important traits for gatherers

espeically for miner/botanist

also get gear

Hey got a question, i just reached lvl 54 on paladin but i didn't get new ability nor did i get quest for new chain of quests ?
How do i go on about unlocking new abilitys past lvl 50 and finished paladin quest line

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

you need to be on the heavensward main scenario quest to be able to do havensward job quests (50-60)

#

so if you're still working thru the 7th Astral Era quests then you'll just need to keep trucking

prime harbor Apr 18, 2020, 3:35 PM

Peeps used to do it for the cool stuff MGP gives when it was new-ish

It is just a nice stuff nowadays from what I see

#

how did SE manage to fuck up a bunny suit

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

They tried being unique or something, I dunno. Maybe Yoshi P had a grudge against Playboy or something

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

uhh more like they probably didn't want playboy coming down on their ass

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

They lost the rights to the design tho

#

Hence the iconic bunnysuit design is almost always that 1 piece bodysuit

#

And a lot of other... No, almost all other games with bunnysuits use that design AFAIK

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

regardless, its more than likely SE playing it safe

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 3:51 PM

So, it was not a legal issue.... Maybe too lewd?

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 3:51 PM

and no them "having a grudge" or some weird issue

but not really the channel for it

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

Info

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

^

#

Just that really

#

Not so much a global bonus, more of a system to help level non-main classs faster

Hello guys, I am reading this chart as a danceer guide -> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/562378745520979999/584227076178051072/dancerguide.png

What does 50% Proc means? what "Proc" means ?

lean dragon Apr 18, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

I see, thank you!

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

Proc means you managed to trigger an effect

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

certain skills have a chance at triggering another skill

#

so 50% proc means that skill have a 50% chance of proccing another

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

^

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

so fan dance 1/2 have a chance to trigger fan dance 3

north venture Apr 18, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

like the combo thingy but with a 50% chance?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

Dancer is very proc reliant afaik

north venture Apr 18, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

oh I thought it would be easy lol

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

dancer is easy

north venture Apr 18, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

I just need to put skills in order on hotbar xD

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

very simplistic way of thinking about dancer is press glowing buttons when they happen

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

Just a bit rng based I presume

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

though there's a bit more to it than that

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

Dancer is a very supportive class is it not?

north venture Apr 18, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

would you recommend it for someone who never played dps and new to the game ?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

Most utility as a DPS

lean dragon Apr 18, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

Also, how does thaumaturge work? From what I've been playing so far Umbral Ice tends to recover MP (Don't know the algorithm though) and Astral Fire does more damage (But from what I've seen it's just a bit more damage)

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

yeah, its very simplistic and easy to pick up

#

that is the general gist of it redalos

north venture Apr 18, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

ok cool

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

when do i stand still as a tank to hit mobs and when do i run away so they follow me?

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

you use fire to dmg and burn most of your mana then use blizzard to regen it to go back into fire

lean dragon Apr 18, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

Yeah but are there any %?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

Does BLM/Thau use fire magic to dps, and ice magic to recover mp?

lean dragon Apr 18, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

Or how does it work?

#

Yes from what I understood

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

@leaden ginkgo you run away and gather mobs till around 6 of them follows you

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

Yup. Ice phase to recover mana, Fire phase to use the mana

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

In general

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

at low levels its basically Fire 1 spam> Transpose > thunder 1 > blizzard 1 until you are max mp again > transpose > fire 1 spam etc

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:00 PM

Now, it really depends on the dungeons

#

Make sure to have all enemies (most of the time) facing away from the party

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 4:01 PM

@lyric warren because mounts only have one speed, if you are going diagonally up, you are not going forward at the same speed

yeah

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:01 PM

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

Never use single target attacks on a group

#

Your job is to make sure enemies keep their eyes on you

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

maybe used your ranged attack if one mob seperated and turned around to get them to look at you

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

If you just spam single target attacks, enemies might turn their aggro to allies

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

my first time playing a tank lol

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

Mitigations are defensive skills

#

Like take 30% reduced damage

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

so like rampart etc

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

ohh i see

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

Rampart is 20% damage reduction

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

i should only use them with big groups of mobs and bosses right?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

Good skill

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

so thrill of battle, vengeance etc

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:05 PM

Tanking is simple for early content

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

ahh

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

rampart, reprisal and arm's length too

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

yeah im trying out tank in potd

it gets more difficult tho

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:05 PM

AoE, aggro, bob and weave the AoEs, and keep the enemies facing you

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

yeah

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

The party relies on tanks btw, if tank sucks then it could cost the whole run

gloomy ice Apr 18, 2020, 4:07 PM

@lean dragon 1 Fire orb is roughly +40ish% extra damage from base from a quick unscientific test. 1 Ice orb recovers roughly 1/3 of your max MP every 3 seconds.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:07 PM

Never get too cocky and pull entire sections of mobs

true, i've been called '' worst tank '' before lol

but its fun

What the fastest way to farm allegory tomestones ? I’ve been extremely busy haven’t don’t much dailies

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:07 PM

If you see toxic people, just ignore them with your superior defenses

#

~~Or give them aggro and watch them run around and die lol~~

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:08 PM

yeah haha it actually motivated me to get better by asking here

ill keep that in mind

@leaden ginkgo probably hunt trains, if not expert roulette per day

Thanks

#

yeah i'll do that for sure

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

Some dungeons like Aurum Vale requires you to adapt to it's area

ocean pivot Apr 18, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

@lean dragon AF has iirc +40/60/80% damage to fire spells (1/2/3 stacks) and umbral ice is something like 30/50/60% mp per tick. But later you will also get spells for fire that do inherently more damage than your ice spells and your fire damage will be like bazillions ahead. But yeah, at the start it feels like "just a little more".

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

ahh i see

#

so i just want to get around 5/6 mobs to focus on me, but i don't get when to run away with the mobs following you

#

i've heard ppl saying some times to run

#

with aggro

#

is that to get them off the party members?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

No

#

They just want you to pull more enemies

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

ohh right

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

Running just means the tank is gonna grab more enemies

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

yeah

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

When tank is ready, they would stand still (dodge AoE tho) and attack

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

yeah

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

This makes enemies stand still too, giving the DPS and Healer easier time to damage them

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

true

#

also i remember running into a room with like 12 mobs

#

do i just get a few of them and run away

#

so the others don't follow

#

bc i died trying to get them all

#

( healer couldnt keep up )

oak ice Apr 18, 2020, 4:15 PM

#

Which dungeon?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:15 PM

#

Knowing how many mobs to pull is very situation-dependant

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:15 PM

#

it was palace of the dead hahaha

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

Every time you do anything for the first time, always pull less to get accustomed to the dungeon

oak ice Apr 18, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

Those rooms are usually done with a pomander of witching to turn them into chickens

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

yeah true ^^

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

If your party members tell you to pull more then go ahead, they should be ready with the amount of enemies

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

oh ok

#

yeah

oak ice Apr 18, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

But if you are a tank and have a healer, PotD is weaksauce, so just pull a ton and plant yourself

So I was looking up a video about how to use a Thaumaturge (and eventually a Black Mage) and oh shit learning your rotation is not what I expected.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

All classes have rotations

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

anyway thanks for the info! helped a lot 😄

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

That's what the channel is for

#

Quite sure BLM is the simpler caster

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

Which class has the simplest rotation?

ocean pivot Apr 18, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

maybe something like bard? it has less a rotation and more a priority list

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

I'd say tanks but their rotations are simpler because they need to focus on how many enemies there are, how to herd them, what the boss attacks are, etc.

#

Tanks have big responsibilities

ocean pivot Apr 18, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

or keep with black mage, the rotation is easier than it looks

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

Let me just say, Summoner has a 2 minute long rotation so... AFAIK BLM is quite straight-forward

#

You just cast the right spells and done, enemy dead, party happy

Oh another question:
What classes should I focus on for each role? Like, right now for caster I think I'll focus on Black Mage.
What should I focus on for tank, healer, melee DPS and ranged DPS?

so far they look pretty .. idk

@leaden ginkgo Mount speed increases at rank 2 are definitely worth it before you unlock flying in each zone. The rest, depends on your preferences. Great for crafting. Materia is.. kind of a niche buy? The other odds and ends are more for collectors.

As I said, FF14 is a very team based game. You gotta know the roles

#

Just focus on 1 class till you reach like lvl 50 tbh

#

There is this newbie trap of levelling too many classes at once, and never reaching lvl 50. You want to be at lvl 50 fast since a lot of content opens up there

ocean pivot Apr 18, 2020, 4:28 PM

With the xp buff you can do 2 in parallel, but you still shouldn't take too many at a time.

Honestly I don't quite like the Black Mage playstyle of staying in one spotting casting your rotation. But I'm just gonna stick with it and hope I don't dislike it too much later on.

If you want a very mobile caster, then check out Red Mage

I'll buy it eventuallyTM.

rather than single target

thats about it

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 4:56 PM

Hmm. I was imagining an ability that sucks in enemies and you can just AoE the shit out of them while they're still being succ'd.

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:57 PM

Nah, none of those

latent haven Apr 18, 2020, 4:57 PM

So tanks have ability that draws in enemies' aggro and they just bring the enemies to you?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:57 PM

Well

#

Tanks aggro enemies, they keep them facing away from other party members to avoid damage

hot eagle Apr 18, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

would be rly nice but nope tank needs to stack them or at last most since some mobs rly suck to move and stack

blissful matrix Apr 18, 2020, 4:58 PM

a trick is to clump enemies by bringing the melee enemies into casters and ranged enemies

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 4:59 PM

Tanks are also the one that have to be spamming AoEs the most since playing tanks mean being close to a lot of enemies

there are also LoS tricks

everybody spams AoEs

blissful matrix Apr 18, 2020, 4:59 PM

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

That is my issue

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

Generally in pugs its whoever has tank stance on or pulls first is main tank

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

People do not talk until shit hits the fan

opal lichen Apr 18, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

That's the casual concept yeah

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

Even if I pull first, other tank kept provoking and using stance

#

Which confuses the hell out of me so I provoke back

opal lichen Apr 18, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

MT's OT's are seperated by their utility and how much you know as an individualk

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

if they provoke then let them have it

#

not worth doing a provoke war

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

Yeah I tend to just give up

opal lichen Apr 18, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

PLD imo isn't a MT but that's my op

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

Since I know people are just gonna blame sprouts like me

opal lichen Apr 18, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

ALso Shirk exists for that reason also

dusk merlin Apr 18, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

Yeah I only do normal content or unsynced EX so I tend to default to OT unless I know I’m more experienced

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

Then again DRK feels lacking till lvl 70

faint flare Apr 18, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

People turn in tank stance after the opening burst to guarantee 2nd in aggro and be ready for adds spawning

#

Or mt death

#

And they should shirk if they get close

#

Super braindead

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

I still get people stealing aggro in Dun Scaith (even those who never did it) from me, even though I go there to farm the tank armor a lot

timber marlin Apr 18, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

This is probably unrelated since it's not really about the game but can anyone help me with making an account

dusk merlin Apr 18, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

I just turn the stance off if I get close on aggro, haven’t had a problem yet with that

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

End result is usually void death fun time, getting blown off by void aero III, stuff

#

Not sure about the account making process. Already forgot about it...

timber marlin Apr 18, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

I had an account that I played the trial version on steam with, I just bought a windows key but it just told me I can't use that key since my account is now locked to steam

#

so I went and made a new account and I can't even log on with it and the launcher acts like it doesn't even exist

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

Steam version is not compatible with the one you buy from Square Enix store

#

AFAIK

timber marlin Apr 18, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

Yeah that's why I made a new acc but I can't even log onto the launcher with it

#

Like I'm using their launcher not steam's launcher

#

I played the trial ages ago

dusk merlin Apr 18, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

Can you log into the account through the mogstation?

Guys do we have a guide on how to create relic weapons and upgrading them?

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

Which relic?

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

which relic

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

Heavensward?

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

I cant find a decent guide. At least for arr

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

the one on gamerescape is okay last i checked

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

Is arr relic easier to get than the rest? Or the effort is same?

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

ffxiv wiki has the outline of getting previous relic weapons i.e materials and steps required, short tips for certain parts too

What do you want the relic for?

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

And no, ARR relic is considered pretty much the most painful of them all

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

I just want glam relic lol

twilit arch Apr 18, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

its pretty gil/time intensive

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

ARR relic is the worst. the damn books

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

Oh glam yeah ARR is hell

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

As long as its glowing im fine with it

ShB relic is super easy atm

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

@white sinew they are all okay. pick the one you like the msot

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

^

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

another pretty easy one is animated > anima

#

little bit of fate farming then, assuming you have a level 80 character, 10 unsynced dungeons

olive lintel Apr 18, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

Thanks for the lo ks checking them out. Im still at level 50

#

So probably gotta finish shb first

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

i would say gladiator, Paladin is pretty cool

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

@white sinew they have their own speciality. Paladin/gladiator is very defensive and has a lot of utilities

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

buuut the next step requires roughly 6k poetics and 80k gc seals if you dont want to spend gil/craft

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

but honestly, whatever you like

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

ya if you're 50 i wouldnt bother with the relic weapons just yet

whole wasp Apr 18, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

if you just want shiny, alot of the anemos weapons are shiny

hardy stirrup Apr 18, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

Warrior/Marauder has powerful offensive capabilities

#

Later on you will have access to Dark Knight and Gunbreaker

leaden ginkgo Apr 18, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

dark knight is also good for damage
