#

if im looking at making a good profit, what are the important crafters to level up first?

#

my first craft so far has been arm and that feels like it was a mistake for making gil

obsidian patio
#

Server-dependent.

#

Also there's not many gil options at the low levels.

#

But something that should be semi-consistent profit regardless of crafter is making HQ Leve items to sell.

mossy current
#

Flax stuff sells well for Weaver leveling

leaden ginkgo
#

ahh okay, im still having difficulty "reading the market" as the list of stuff seems massive esp when i look at selling history for each

mossy current
#

tbh I didn't know a selling history tab existed

obsidian patio
#

I generally look at stuff with a low supply and see how often it sells.

leaden ginkgo
#

only things ive noticed sell very quickly are crystals and dark matter clusters and they seem to do alright

#

but at least on my server, raw mats sell for a bit more than what they craft into, but they dont seem to sell too often either

hexed island
#

Hello, I recently started playing FFXIV as an Arcanist. I am currently focusing on just Msq's and the blue quest's with '+' icon. Thing is I am kinda overlevelled for the MsQ. (My level being 14 and the quests being 8-9).

My question is : Am I loosing exp in the long term? Should I consider leveling an alternate job too in the future to maintain the levels? Or it doesn't really matter that much?

little swift
#

nope

#

doesn't matter

#

only level something else if you're interested

#

not like exp is a finite resource

#

its good to be overleveled anyways imo

devout salmon
#

Is there a faster way to get the Eureka Anemos katana besides farming Protean Crystals?

hexed island
#

I see, thank you ^ ^

little swift
#

afaik no just play the game until you got enough crystals :/

devout salmon
#

Looks like I got some grinding to do.

quartz mesa
#

Can i buy the expansion shadowbringer on the us store (-40% right now) and play with it on my account (EU) ?

weak cradle
#

Hey, I've played the game since beta and took a break after DarkKnight came out. I just came back yesterday and bought ShadowBringers digitally which included the other DLCs. I bought it but when I went to login (PS4) It told me something about linking it???? I didnt get any code or whatever....I'm confused

mossy current
#

@devout salmon join in Fate parties in anemos

#

Drops a huge amount after an hour or so

devout salmon
#

@fresh estuary Okie dokie.

proud willow
#

@quartz mesa That won't work, a US version can't be registered to an EU account

fresh estuary
#

you pinged the wrong person silly

mossy current
#

The last step needs you to fight the fate with "pazuzu" or buy the feathers for it with more crystals

leaden ginkgo
#

how important is communication in raiding? normal raids that is, not savage or anything like that

mossy current
#

Definitely not required, but it helps if things are getting tough

#

An Alex raid made me use 4 for "g" for Gorilla

left moth
#

normal raid tier doesn't require voice comms but it helps for teaching it. the majority of mechanics either have visual tells (or a cast bar) or a learning phase where a simple version will be performed first, then the complex version later on

leaden ginkgo
#

and in the case a group is attempting a savage raid I assume it is required then?

mossy current
#

There it's highly recommend for a learning group

#

I won't say anything is required since I can't control others

left moth
#

for savage yes you will want voice comms. NA/EU doesn't use placement macros like japanese players usually do so explaining in game usually takes a long time and can be easily misinterpeted

mossy current
#

But for weekly clear, it's fine to place a few makers down for position and that's it

leaden ginkgo
#

how common is it in savage groups for example to kick a mute player?

mossy current
#

They're fine with it

#

As long as you can hear callouts

obsidian patio
#

I don't see being mute as an issue as long as you can follow what others are saying.

left moth
#

usually not done because being mute means less background noise for whoever does callouts

obsidian patio
#

And you can always type in-game.

nova umbra
#

how often do red mages use Riposte?

mossy current
#

Is that the dash away?

#

Or the 300 pot

obsidian patio
#

!action riposte

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Riposte** : lvl 1 RDM (2.5 second cooldown)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 130. Action upgraded to Enchanted Riposte if both Black Mana and White Mana are at 30 or more.

mossy current
#

...

obsidian patio
#

That's part of your melee combo

mossy current
#

That's the melee combo

#

Ver-y important

leaden ginkgo
#

I see, thanks everyone heartsjoy

obsidian patio
#

If you only have Riposte, use it whenever you're above 30/30 mana

#

Once you get Zwerchhau, it's 55/55

nova umbra
#

oh because it's instant

mossy current
#

Full thing is 80/80

#

Enchanted only

nova umbra
#

does using it use up the dual cast as well?

mossy current
#

It removes it if you had the dual cast status

nova umbra
#

ah okay so make sure to use something else before using riposte, got it

obsidian patio
#

You almost never want to put anything between your short cast spell and the dualcasted spell.

mossy current
#

It's important too, since later balancing out your imbalances with black/white is important

nova umbra
#

sorry, bit overwhelmed since I just unlocked red mage and it threw like 20 skills at once lol

Work with it slowly and try it on a dummy

Morning, quick question guys hope someone can explain it to me.

weak cradle
#

Hey, I've played the game since beta and took a break after DarkKnight came out. I just came back yesterday and bought ShadowBringers digitally which included the other DLCs. I bought it but when I went to login (PS4) It told me something about linking it???? I didnt get any code or whatever....sorry for asking again, I just need a solution.

limpid beacon
#

I started 2 days ago with summoner now 22 i wanna play a mechanist if i buy the charboost for the lvl 70 mechanist do i get lvl 70 mechanist or what do i get?

obsidian patio
#

You'll get level 70 machinist.

weak cradle
#

I believe you get a few items to help and it completes all the quests for that class. An accessory too.

mossy current
#

You get a book you can "use" to get some level 70 gear with an average ilevel of 390 and boost machinist to level 70

#

500k gil too?

weak cradle
#

Yeah 500k

obsidian patio
weak cradle
#

It comes in the form of an item you have to sell

limpid beacon
#

do i need to have mechanist unlocked?

obsidian patio
#

Nope

mossy current
#

Nope

obsidian patio
#

But you do need the expansion registered

limpid beacon
#

ok thanks for all the infos

#

ok got it

#

obsidian patio
#

@weak cradle PS4 digital? And are you using the same PSN account as the one you started with?

weak cradle
#

Yeah

lethal schooner
#

Is it possible to change Home World in the same Data Center ?

strange lintel
#

For money yes

oak ice
#

Or going from a congested server to a preferred one

obsidian patio
#

@weak cradle Think you can take a picture of the screen that mentions linking? Wanting to make sure what I'm looking at is relevant.

weak cradle
#

Here you go

obsidian patio
#

And there's no button to go past it?

mossy current
#

Ohahahaa

#

Should be a confirm button

weak cradle
#

Nope

#

I tried, check mogstation but nothing, I did see that it didnt have the circle for purchased tho

mossy current
#

Did you buy sub time?

weak cradle
#

Yeah, I've got sub time

lethal schooner
#

What are the differences between normal Home world, and the one that has "Legacy" on it?

strange lintel
#

Right now? Nothing.

#

Legacy servers existed in 1.0

obsidian patio
#

Legacy just notes a world that existed as a remnant of 1.0

mossy current
#

Legacy is stuff for 1.0 players, so dw about it

left moth
#

legacy ones were 1.0 servers but that's only a formality. there is no difference currently

strange lintel
#

Any distinction that there used to be no matter exists

weak cradle
#

Can I check somewhere on mogstation to see where my accounts linked to just in case?

timber urchin
#

so i already bough the complete edition pack.. the code i need to put on my main account on add new service account? and just download the game from the page'

#

or how ?

#

or just install the game?

lethal schooner
#

I see.. There is also a home world that has EXP bonus for new players on it but still can't accept new player.
Is there an estimate when that home world will accept new player again?
Feels like the EXP bonus kinda important (even though don't know how much % is it)

obsidian patio
#

main account

!faq serverlock

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why can't I enter this server?
Info

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

strange lintel
#

Wait

#

You bought the complete edition when you already have an account?

#

With ARR and HW?

obsidian patio
#

The EXP bonus is +100% for all classes until level 70, but in the grand scheme of things it's not that vital unless you see yourself having an interest in leveling up crafters

pastel crow
#

Can you get to the The Islee of Bows and the Isle of Sisters pre 80?

obsidian patio
#

or leveling up a bunch of jobs.

strange lintel
#

As far as I know

#

You cannot add the complete edition to an existing account

pastel crow
#

I can figure out how to get there ๐Ÿ˜ญ

obsidian patio
#

Those just require Flying in Rak'Tika, so you need level 75 or so.

timber urchin
#

i mean i just like create an account on

But, my compass is telling me to go to the isles to get the green orbs required for flying in Rak'tika

#

hi all, what's a good way to level a new Dancer from level 60?

#

i've been doing duty finder roulettes and challenge log

warped nest
#

How to level alt:

  1. Roulette: leveling, MSQ, and alliance are the best in exp. Raid and trial are not bad. Ignore everything else.
  2. highest level dungeon (but not 50,60,70)
  3. POTD (up to lvl 60) or HoH (60 and up) if the first two choice has significantly worse queue time
#

Challenge log exp I think caps at lvl 50/60 so it is less and less useful as you climb higher

obsidian patio
#

remember that roulettes are a once a day thing, you don't do them again after the first time of that day.

#

so leveling roulettes after the first one are a waste of time in terms of experience

#

(unless you get lucky enough to get the dungeon that's highest for your level or close to that)

tribal hemlock
#

ah bummer, i'll keep all that in mind then

#

thanks for the tips

#

my MSQ is up to SHB so i don't have any left for my dancer for now

warped nest
#

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
#

From 70-80. It is just choice 1 and choice 2: Roulette and dungeons

#

Ohh, from 60-80, you should do your beast tribes from Stormblood and Shadowbringers to get some easy exp while you are waiting for dungeon queue

#

Daily hunt from Kugane and Crystalium if you have spare time

tribal hemlock
#

oh okay, i didn't know about Hunts

#

I'm interested in playing final fantasy 14 and trying to choose a server to play on, but I heard that most populated servers have all the houses sold out so I'm currently wondering which server has a decent amount of players without having all of the houses be sold out?

warped nest
#

Even if it has houses

#

Chances are it will be sold out before you can get it

#

Housing is a long running scarcity in game

leaden ginkgo
#

so basically all of the servers have sold out houses

warped nest
#

A plot cost like 7-8 digits

leaden ginkgo
#

then I guess I should just join a highly populated one

warped nest
#

The recommendation is to join a Preferred World

#

You get double exp buff

leaden ginkgo
#

I see

warped nest
#

Road to 70 is a buff that double your exp gain, which is great to level up multiple jobs.

#

It only expires when the server is no longer preferred AND your character is older than 90 days

leaden ginkgo
#

which server has the highest amount of US players

warped nest
#

There are 3 NA data center

gloomy ice
#

They're all relatively equal, more or less.

warped nest
#

Aether, Primal, and Crystal

#

Date Center is collection of World

#

Match making for dungeons is done among the World inside a Data Center btw

#

hey everyone ๐Ÿ™‚ quick question, I need a lot of Grand Company Seals to be able to turn in items;

#

What is the best way to gather these? I can only turn in dungeon items once I am at the SG Second Class it seems

#

already did my hunting log, and stuck at 2000/5000 for my next rank

gloomy ice
#

Grand Company combat levequests or FATE grinding would be the only options at that rank.

#

FATE grind is probably the most time efficient.

main cairn
#

aah! the leve quests ๐Ÿ˜„ thanks

#

and Fate's, completely forgot about those

#

brb, headdesking for a while ๐Ÿ˜„

I can swear that you get seals from completing Roulette as well

yea, but dps queue ๐Ÿ˜„

Seals come from Leveling Roulette for sure.

#

I think Frontline too?

gloomy ice
#

Hest roulette

warped nest
#

Check your weekly challenge log too

obsidian patio
#

Okay so just leveling and maybe frontline. contentcarby

warped nest
#

I think some of them rewards GC seals

@devout salmon they also only spawn at night, so you can use the eorzean time to check as well.

It's debatable. The hoard drops can be good even at lower floors but the really lucrative stuff comes from 100+. If you're shooting for exp runs, then they can be safely skipped, imo.

is there any downside to using snagging on fisher?

obsidian patio
#

It can waste your daily map allowance if you get a map that you don't want

#

and if you need fish that don't need snagging in holes where snagging gets extra fish, it can reduce your catch rate of the ones you want.

#
Mounts FAQ
Info

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

shadow copper
#

Do they release a new crafted set with each main content patch? for instance will 5.3 high a new higher item level crafted set?

obsidian patio
#

based on stormblood, 5.3 will add the last set of crafted DoH/DoL gear.

#

and 5.4 will add the last set of crafted battle gear.

#

Crafted battle gear is typically added with each even patch as they're the ones that increase the ilvl roof

can i switch server with my chara?

obsidian patio

along with time zones making playing with others an issue

Is there a guide to obtaining your relic weapon once you hit 80?

im choosing omega cuz i have friends there

probably to many ppl online atm so can't transfer or make a new one on it atm try at a later time or when less ppl are online

okay thank you!

hot eagle
#

It's about 10am st on it on a sunday with a lot ppl at home

hard elk
#

damn okay also its exp bonus

hot eagle
#

yeah omega is preferred atm so all new characters get the exp buff

#

but only new ones, don't get it when you transfer to it

obsidian patio
#

@pastel crow If you mean the shadowbringers relic, it's pretty simple. Just do the sidequest for it in Kugane at the markets (Hail to the Queen) and follow that for your first weapon which is free, follow up weapons for the first step are 1000 poetics each

#

Note that you need to have complete the Return to Ivalice 24-man storyline from Stormblood to start the relic, which also starts in Kugane.

hard elk

yes iwas about to create one just to try if my connection is okay on eur server

lament wagon
#

just reached level 80 on several crafters and I'm almost 80 on all of them, what gear should I get

cobalt pagoda
#

how does the rested xp work? I know that it will acumulat until an point, but how many hours does it need to reach maxim bonus??

lament wagon
#

should I craft them dwarven/swallowskin gear?

obsidian patio
#

I think it takes about 4 days or so for the rested experience to cap out

#

the i430 stuff is your starting set, yeah.

cobalt pagoda
#

oh almost 100 hours

obsidian patio
#

Once you make a full HQ set of that you can meld it a bit to then try making the Facet stuff.

#

or if you're willing to spend the gil, simply buy the Facet set and be fine until 5.3 adds the final set of crafted crafter/gatherer gear.

nova umbra
#

is the only point of fishing to get fish for cooking?

obsidian patio
#

A few fish are used in ALC/GSM, along with some being able to be put in housing aquariums to show off.

#

There's also canvases to show off the "print" of a fish

#

Some of the rarer fish from the base game can also be desynthed into glamour gear.

lament wagon
#

facet gear looks kinda expensive I think I'll craft everything myself

#

thanks

cobalt pagoda
#

how does the rested exp actualy work? is it like 3-4 bars of exp or is an number of exp that is acumulated ?

manic sentinel
#

does anybody have a link with the bis melding for the 430 gathering set?

obsidian patio
#

it's 1.5 levels worth of experience.

#

so the exact amount of bonus experience depends on the level of the job using it up

cobalt pagoda
#

eh

I thout it was much more

obsidian patio
#

I mean, it's literally free experience for not playing or being AFK

cobalt pagoda
#

or maybe I didnโ€™t look it better

oak ice
#

Technically, on a level 79 job it's 53 million exp

cobalt pagoda
#

cuz I remember leveling 2-3 times and the bar was still blue or whatever the color is

fresh lodge
#

Its 1.5 levels worth of BONUS xp

oak ice
#

The standard exp you get doesn't remove from your rested exp, only the bonus

fresh lodge
#

You still get the regular amount of xp on top

cobalt pagoda
#

aaaa

#

I though that bomus exp will stop after leveling 1 level and an half

#

ok I got it

obsidian patio
#

Note that "BiS" for crafters very much depends on what you're wanting to make, as starred crafts have minimum stat requirements and you generally don't need to meld past those except for maxing out CP for the most part.

#

Just hit 80 on my first class, still doing ShB MSQ. What's my best route to decent gear? I'm yet to find a poetics vendor.

obsidian patio
#

Poetics aren't used at level 80. The tomestones you use at 80 are Phantasmagoria and Allegory, earned from level 80 content.

#

bit outdated due to 5.25 but still very much accurate

deft anvil
#

aha thanks!

#

well, time to go put Nyelbert to rest before I go any further.

dusk merlin
#

Do the anima weapons still require all of that rare crafted stuff?

obsidian patio
#

Yes, but you can buy them with GC seals now.

dusk merlin
#

Even the FSH stuff?

obsidian patio
#

Fish item?

dusk merlin
#

The guide I saw said it requires pterodactyl which I can't get because FSH

obsidian patio
#

Oh. You buy the complete items with GC seals, not the materials

#

Though you do need Second Lieutenant.

dusk merlin
#

I have the top one (Captain I think) so I'm good there

obsidian patio
#

The Kingcake/Dispelling Arrow/Titanium Alloy Mirror/Adamantite Francesca

dusk merlin
#

That's good

#

I was going to say that would have made it way worse than Eureka lol

#

Hey, i am having trouble understanding "how" to queue for PoTD 100-200 I did 1-50 with a static party 50-100 in queue

proud willow
#

They're tradeable so you can also buy those off the marketboard if you're out of seals

rancid vector
#

I don't want to lose that progress, how to i queue to get to 200?

proud willow
#

Your only options for starting a save are 1 or 51

obsidian patio
#

You need to have done a Fixed party to progress past 100

proud willow
#

not 101

obsidian patio
#

you also need to have not had a failure at all

#

So if you start at Floor 51, but wipe during floors 71-80, you would need to start over again to go past 100.

#

and if you wipe past 100, the save file cannot be used and you'll have to reset.

obsidian patio
#

Word of warning, but if you intend to do 51-200 in a single sitting then give yourself a lot of free time. It can easily take multiple hours depending on how often you take breaks or how thorough you are in searching for hidden hoards past 100.

#

My 51-200 group run took about 8 or 9 hours with small breaks every 3 floor sets or so, but this was during HW so things are probably a good amount faster.

coarse tapir
#

Hey whats the quest called for ishgard rebuild

rancid vector
#

oh, so in essence i would need to do 50-200 with the same group?

obsidian patio
#

You have to do it with the same group, that's how fixed parties work.

rancid vector
#

ah shit, so i need to do 50-100 with a group that would then be happy to do 100-2009

obsidian patio
#

@coarse tapir "Towards the Firmament" near the Aetheryte.

rancid vector
#

Hm... thanks for letting me know ๐Ÿ™‚

coarse tapir
#

Ah appreciated

obsidian patio
#

Note that Fixed party is when you don't queue with random players, it's when you have your group assembled outside.

#

Matched party is when you queue with random players, and cannot go past 100 at all.

Hey guys, does the country/region I select when making a SE account affect the server I get put into?

obsidian patio
#

Region affects what licenses/gametime/maybe promo codes work for you.

cedar bobcat
#

Not at all

obsidian patio
#

But in terms of actually playing the game, it doesn't matter.

leaden ginkgo
#

I see, thanks ๐Ÿ™‚ but what did u mean by gametime?

cedar bobcat
#

According to SE I live in Los Angeles, Iceland

obsidian patio

leaden ginkgo
#

U mean like how some countries have game hour limits?

obsidian patio
#

I mean subscription.

#

Though China/South Korea versions of the game do pay by the minute or something along those lines, due to their clients being completely separate from NA/EU/JP

Hello, what is the best way for Novus(ARR relic) light farm nowdays?

solo grind Tam-Tara Deepcroft normal or Ifrit Normal, depending on loading time.

Thank you Wynne

Ifrit normal and extreme gives the same amount?

Hey, im lv 78 and cant proceed with the msq and im wondering if fates are the most efficient way to level (when i have completed my roulettes and challenge log) or is there something more efficient

rough anchor
#

what materias are recommended to meld on healer?

silk summit
#

I'm pretty sure that running the highest level dungeon avaialble to you is the most efficient way to level after rouletees.

toxic perch
#

for anima weapon density farm , is it only available in heavensward contents ?

rough anchor
#

@toxic perch make a party finder to farm alexander- eyes of the creator savage, unsynced. it' the quickest method by far

#

and nets you some GC seals from the belts, earrings and wristbands too

low plank
#

yeah i didnt understand a word u just said

#

i dont know what taht is tho

#

nvm i get it

toxic mantle
#

Hey, I'm in a bit of a pinch. I'm doing Heavensward and just died from some fate enemies up in cloudtop during the quest Devourer of Worlds

#

now I can't get back to my body and I have no idea how to get there

#

my body? my previous location*

#

forgot this isnt wow lol

toxic perch
#

@rough anchor do i need to equip the weapon ?

rough anchor
#

yeah

toxic mantle
#

ahhh i found how i get back

rough anchor
#

people should pop into the party pretty quickly, i did my anima light farming literally yesterday

toxic mantle
#

i have to go around the entirety of the sea of clouds

#

and areas i havent explored yet

#

to reach the quest lol

hard elk
rough anchor
#

@toxic perch if you're on the light datacenter, there's one such party up even right now

toxic perch
#

ok thx

#

i have not yet unlock eyes of creator

rough anchor
#

other ones may have one too, it's pretty common

slate arrow
#

@hard elk they may be tethered, if that's what you're asking.

#

otherwise just tag one and run away until the first one you tried to pull goes back, and then tag it again and pull it to the edge

hard elk

@slate arrow thank you it worked!

muted sierra
#

so if you wanted to put a sound effect at the end of a crafting macro it'd be like this: /echo Craft finished <se.2>

#

and only you would see the message and hear the sound effect

proud willow
#

@hard elk Also be aware that that icon by the enemy's name means that it's significantly stronger than a normal enemy. Anytime a quest sends you to kill something like that, they always give you a way to weaken it. Make sure you're using that Key Item.

hard elk
#

okay thanks! someone did help me kill that monster tbh lol

#

they saw me suffering

vast anvil
#

What is a linkshell?

slate arrow
#

tl;dr group chat for up to 60(i think) people

#

you have a linkshell solely for the server

#

and a cross world link shell which works across the datacenter

#

It's basically an easy way for a group of people to chat together in game without needing to be a part of the same free company or (previously) PvP group

vast anvil
#

And that's different than a fellowship? There are a lot of ways to communicate, but I don't ever see anyone chatting other than RP

slate arrow
#

fellowship is closer to something like a messageboard

#

it's hard to communicate in real time with fellowships

bold root
#

As far as I know, linkshells are purely a non fc chat whereas fellowships are more meant to organize events and such

vast anvil
#

Ah.

bold root
#

By the way, just started the light farm step of the Zodiac Weapon and I've heard the best way to go around it is spamming unsynced dungeons. Which dungeons would be the best choice to farm it?

vast anvil
#

How do I join my areas linkshell?

slate arrow
#

oh you don't

vast anvil
#

I guessed at fellowships being just a FB group heh

slate arrow
#

you can have up to 9 link shells and 9 cross world link shells

#

generally you save them for groups you want to join since

#

they're quite limited in number

#

(I think it's 9)

hardy stirrup
#

How do you identify a tankbuster?

#

Before it hits you that is

brave loom
#

Is there a way to see if I can or not interrupt an action with the tank skill? Like most of the time they don't work lol So I'm just wondering if is it better to avoid it and forgetting about that two skills.

muted sierra
#

you either already know or just assume based off the name

hardy stirrup
#

There are no way then

muted sierra
#

if the cast bar flashes, that means the enemy action is interruptable

hardy stirrup
#

I know

#

Rare tho

sinful breach
#

@bold root tam-tara, aurum vale were the ones that I spammed, some might do the Alex savage raids but you need to find a decent amount of people for it

hardy stirrup
#

Just gonna make sure my edge bubble is always up when available

muted sierra
#

if it's something like "crippling blow" or "boneshatter" or anything to that effect it's most likely a tankbuster

slate arrow
#

anything with a cast bar generally is dangerous

#

otherwise you learn as you go

hardy stirrup
#

Jongleurs X does not sound like a tb

slate arrow
#

sometimes the animation might tip you off but this game operates based off of knowledge

#

you have to know ahead what to expect

hardy stirrup
#

It is a tb tho

#

And the MT always die with that vul 3 stack lol

muted sierra
#

well now you know for the future, a lot of learning encounters is a lot of trial and error and getting used to things

sinful breach
#

yeah if it hits hard it's a tb, you can survive most of them unmitigated but it's not fun for the healers

hardy stirrup
#

Issue is I am seeing more and more salt from people

sinful breach
#

usually the first few casts are raid wides or tb in the higher end dungeon and trials

hardy stirrup
#

Even when I already said that idk the mechanics and boss, so I should just spam TBN as DRK then

bold root
#

Thanks @sinful breach

hardy stirrup
#

Since I just unlocked lvl 70 dungeons

whole wasp
#

Anytime the boss has a castbar is a good time to TBN.

muted sierra
#

^

#

i'd try to mitigate any cast bars you see to try to isolate what the tb is so you know for the future

whole wasp
#

At worst you mitigate a raidwide

hardy stirrup
#

I mean I barely use Flood and Edge without TBN now

sinful breach
#

as long as you don't cap your mp that is fine

hardy stirrup
#

Seeing those zeroes is very satisfying

#

Does TBN take less damage if other mitigations are on

sinful breach
#

no

#

the game prioritises on breaking the tbn shield

#

before any other shields

fresh lodge
#

You want to burn down your mana during burst phases

hardy stirrup
#

So TBN cannot be strengthened

fresh lodge
#

Outside of that just make sure not to overcap

hardy stirrup
#

I always drop my MP to 3000 every encounter

whole wasp
#

Yup. TBN is broken first even over SCH shields.

hardy stirrup
#

At the start of every encounter*

#

Usually with flood

muted sierra
#

im pretty sure TBN takes less damage when you have rampart/shadow wall/dark mind up but im not 100% sure stNotLikeThis

fresh lodge
#

I think thats true

hardy stirrup
#

By mitigations I meant stuff like rampart

#

Been thinking of using TBN with shadow wall and rampart to counter TBs

muted sierra
#

that's what i do

sinful breach
#

me neither and am a drk main, usually if I have to use 2 mitigations the chances are that am getting hit by a truck so I haven't paid attention to it

muted sierra
#

DRK is comfy with tankbusters with TBN and standard cooldowns

hardy stirrup
#

I mean I heard DRK's bread and butter for tanking is TBN

#

And it does feel great to use

sinful breach
#

it is yeah, idk how people managed in hw

hardy stirrup
#

Kinda wish Dark Mind and Missionary reduces more than what they do since it is magic specific. I heard GNB has a what is basically a better Missionary that is not limited to magic

muted sierra
#

Heart of Light is magic resistance

fresh lodge
#

There is nearly never a situation where your other cooldowns aren't enough vs TBN

muted sierra
#

but most raidwides are magic damage so there's not really a scenario where it's not useful

fresh lodge
#

TBN is nice since its basically "free"

muted sierra
#

dark mind is more niche but it's on a low enough cooldown

fresh lodge
#

But its not like damage is designed for that in mind

hardy stirrup
#

Yeah Dark Mind is useless in most of my HW playthrough

fresh lodge
#

Dark mind is far from useless

#

You can use it to reduce the damage taken by 99% of raid wides

#

Since most of them are magic damage

muted sierra
#

it's on a 60 second cooldown so you can pop it and not lose much if it doesn't mitigate anything

#

and yeah

hardy stirrup
#

Never said it truly is, there are just too few enemies in HW that can be mitigated by it, in SB it starts being good

#

I do know every boss in ShB has magic

#

So it should shine in there

fresh lodge
#

Pretty much every aoe is magic

#

Just use it then

hardy stirrup
#

On another note, when can I upgrade the centurio gears from SB?

fresh lodge
#

Its locked behind Eureka

hardy stirrup
#

Post SB MSQ?

fresh lodge
#

Which is post SB MSQ

hardy stirrup
#

I just entered Lochs, please tell me SB is almost over

#

This feckin place is a pain to traverse

oak ice
#

Last area

hardy stirrup
#

Took me a full hour just to get all the field currents

#

How long is post-SB?

oak ice
#

And then it's ~40 patch quests

hardy stirrup
#

Ignoring side content

#

Oh god why

slate arrow
#

the patch quests are really good to be fair

hardy stirrup
#

I hate almost everything about Stormblood, does it get to the quality of HW in ShB?

slate arrow
#

oh wait you don't have flight unlocked

#

you poor soul

muted sierra
#

ShB is amazing yeah

slate arrow
#

^

oak ice
#

ShB is poggers

whole wasp
#

It felt too short because its the best part of SB for me.

hardy stirrup
#

Are the villians not cartoon villians who are just evil for being evil?

whole wasp
#

Yea. Major upgrade.

#

The kind of villians you want to resurrect to kill them again.

hardy stirrup
#

Does it have it's own Eureka?

fresh lodge
#

Not yet

#

Its getting added in 5.35

hardy stirrup
#

Oh god

slate arrow
#

it's going to be based on a later eureka area to be fair

hardy stirrup
#

I heard the devs made the 5.0 relics easier since Eureka was a simulated torture program?

slate arrow
#

which are much better than the first area

hardy stirrup
#

I have some stuff I want from Pyros but basically everyone told me that reaching it takes at least 60~ hours of no lifing it

#

Which is made worse since I have to go with pugs

slate arrow
#

yeah no eureka is definitely the second worst of the 3 relic grinds because you can't cheese it

#

zeta is by far the worst because of the absurd number of books

#

while anima is just a tomestone dump

hardy stirrup
#

Guess it is in fact a simulated torture program

zinc dagger
#

can anyone tell me what the difference between warrior and marauder is?

hardy stirrup
#

Warrior is just Marauder

#

But over lvl 30

muted sierra
#

warrior is marauder but upgraded

hardy stirrup
#

And has access to all the abilities

slate arrow
#

please be a warrior

#

i'll give a tip: nobody plays maruader seriously at level 80

zinc dagger
#

al..right

muted sierra
#

there is zero reason not to become a warrior, all jobs are strictly upgrades

#

nobody plays marauder seriously above 30 LUL

hardy stirrup
#

Don't be those people who are playing marauders in Aurum Vale

#

At that point just disband

zinc dagger
#

also also

#

while I'm here, what does static mean

slate arrow
#

basically just a group of 8 people

#

usually so that they can get maximum loot from savage raid

muted sierra
#

statics are just groups of people who meet on certain days to do content, usually savage raids, together

#

it's more consistent yet more strict than just using party finder

zinc dagger
#

gotcha

I can buy items on a Market board.... how do you put items up to sell?

Ok so can I ask about glam suggestions here since well, it is a question and I need help

you can sell items through retainers

fresh lodge

Eureka isn't nearly as hard as it was on release

Its completely soloable now

if you don't have a retainer, there's vocates in the main cities generally by the markets you can hire retainers from

I'll just see Eureka as a side activity I do when I am bored

Retainer Guide
Info

What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ulโ€™Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

I am asking about a helmet that would fit this

Since I hate how the helmet looks

fresh lodge
tulip basin

So retainers are where I would store my stuff? Is that the only place until you would buy a house or get into a free company?

fresh lodge

Yes though I wouldn't use FC bank as a personal bank

#

you also have the chocobo saddlebag once you get your chocobo

fresh lodge

And there is no personal housing bank

retainers + chocobo saddlebag are more than enough for me and im a bit of a hoarder

you can also store gear in your glam dresser if you dont want to get rid of it

is there a target skill speed I should look for as a MCH? Level 80, IL476 if that helps

cobalt pagoda
#

whatโ€™s the best crafted armor at lvl60 for DRK?

hardy stirrup
#

Quite sure you don't use crafted armor for the stats

#

If you are talking about "optimal" armor set for DRK in lvl 60

#

The Shire stuff

gleaming oracle
#

if you have an armourer class just check what armour can be made at around lvl 60?

hardy stirrup
#

From Idyllshire

cobalt pagoda
#

Iโ€™m at the start of HW

hardy stirrup
#

Oh

#

You at lvl 60?

cobalt pagoda
#

yeah

hardy stirrup
#

Got Augmented Ironworks?

cobalt pagoda
#

yeah

hardy stirrup
#

Just keep that, don't waste your gil

cobalt pagoda
#

but I wanna use some glamour

#

:3

hardy stirrup
#

If you are speaking glam

#

Go check the PVP ones

cobalt pagoda
#

thatโ€™s way ask cuz lvl 50 is to low

#

wonโ€™t allow me to wear the glamour I wanna

fresh lodge
#

Keep Ironworks until you start doing level 55 content

hardy stirrup
fresh lodge
#

Then replace it with dungeon drops or HQ whites

hardy stirrup
#

Since that set is essentially "free"

#

As wolf marks are easy to get, and the fact that the lvl 60 PVP gear has lower prices

cobalt pagoda
#

hm I will look at them

hardy stirrup
#

Fray's armor is lvl 60 too btw

cobalt pagoda
#

still I wanna know an good set for lvl60 so I wonโ€™t have to repeat dungeons to get parts of the gear

hardy stirrup
cobalt pagoda
#

oh

#

thatโ€™s nice

hardy stirrup
#

It is a crafted gear, expensive as hell tho

cobalt pagoda
#

mmm

hardy stirrup
#

The Adamantite set

cobalt pagoda
#

how expensive?

#

.<

fresh lodge
#

Depends on your server

cobalt pagoda
#

I can have some one make the whole set while I pay for the mats

fresh lodge
#

But you can pick up Shire gear with poetics once you reach Iydlshire

cobalt pagoda
#

it will be cheeper

#

that will be at lvl58 in the story

fresh lodge
#

Which is the best level 60 gear avaliable

hardy stirrup
#

Yeah if you want good gear statwise just play till you reach Idyllshire

#

Augment Ironworks is good enough for most of HW

#

Or just get the lvl 60 PVP gear if you want

fresh lodge
#

Its good for the first half

hardy stirrup
#

Don't buy crafted gears for the stats

#

Especially the lvl 60 ones

forest laurel
#

augmented ironworks is good until lvl 55

coarse tapir
#

Hey so should i spam diadem until my miner is level 80

fresh lodge

If you want

#

Leves are still quicker i'm pretty sure

Levequests?

fresh lodge
#

Yes

hardy stirrup
#

Ngl tho, the ShB crafted gear suck mostly, looks-wise

coarse tapir
#

Ah right gotchu

cobalt pagoda
#

so that Adamantie set has almost the same item level and the defense as the shire set?

hardy stirrup
#

No

fresh lodge
#

God no

#

Adamantite is like ilvl 180

#

Shire is 260

cobalt pagoda
#

0w0

hardy stirrup
#

Like said before, Crafted gears all suck stat-wise when compared to tomestone (Poetics, etc) gear

#

Shire is like the Ironworks for lvl 60

coarse tapir
#

Youre better off spamming praetorium with a level 50 job for tomestones

cobalt pagoda
#

but it should work for below lvl60 ? since Iโ€™m at the start of the HW

hardy stirrup
cobalt pagoda
#

ay ugly

hardy stirrup
#

Kinda is

coarse tapir
#

Either that or get your level 60 class gear if youre close to 60

cobalt pagoda
#

good that I have an glamour set already

#

There are crafted gear that are fine to use compared to tome gear

#

Those

mossy current
#

For 80, hell yea

#

i480

hardy stirrup

Yeah but should I waste 500k for the set tho

cobalt pagoda
#

oh so whatโ€™s the name for that i255 ?

hardy stirrup
#

The High Steel series

cobalt pagoda
#

I can ask some one to craft it for me, so I will get it cheeper

#

You can buy them off MB, but the NQ versions are in Stormblood area

hardy stirrup
#

High Steel is cheap as hell

coarse tapir
#

Hey whats worth using your scrips on

You have to pass through at least 4 other zones

hardy stirrup
#

You gotta progress the story

fresh lodge
#

You can only go there through the story

hot crane
#

ok

hardy stirrup
#

Around lvl 58 story

#

Near the end of the first half of the Heavensward expansion

hot crane

**Thundercloud** : lvl 28 THM BLM

Grants a 10% chance that after each damage over time tick inflicted by Thunder or Thunder III (3% for Thunder II or Thunder IV), the next Thunder, Thunder II, Thunder III, or Thunder IV will add its full damage over time amount to its initial damage, have no cast time, and cost no MP.

#

To unlock the jobs quest, do I have to finish the level 30 main quest too?

slate arrow
#

no

#

it's a level 20 MSQ quest in the shroud

twilit arch
#

you need to finish "Sylph Management" to do your lvl 30 job quest

slate arrow
#

so if you're working on your MSQ there's no way to miss it

wheat lark
#

Mmm oh

#

Thank you

#

I will look it up

warped nest
#

Seeing that Thundercloud proc is brought up

#

Iirc, you use it before Thunder dot is up or Thunder proc is going to expire, right?

slate arrow
#

At low levels you should just use it whenever

warped nest
#

Don't use it right away? Unless... You are moving around?

#

Asking for high level

slate arrow
#

i mean generally yeah you want to save it for movement

#

but otherwise it's a DPS gain to kep the thunder DoT almost run out or thundercloud if thunder is still up and then use it since it's a waste if you run out of thundercloud without using it

Can I use a keyboard and controller? I only want the keyboard for the occasional typing in chat. Or is it tedious to switch between in the menus

blissful matrix
#

Is there any particular reason to do duties unsynced?

hardy stirrup
#

Older content

fresh lodge
#

If all you're after is the loot, then its easier to do it unsynced

hardy stirrup
#

For example I do un-synced Odin trial to farm gear

blissful matrix
#

so loot still drops?

fresh lodge
#

Assuming you're actually above the level of the dungeon

hardy stirrup
#

Yeah

blissful matrix
#

ok

forest lark
#

You can use keyboard on ps4, but not sure how to connect lol im dum

slate arrow
#

USB

#

or bluetooth

fresh lodge
#

You just plug it into a usb port

slate arrow
#

(but USB is easier)

tulip basin
#

Lol it's okay. I just didnt know if it was a hassle to switch between.

#

Does it just auto recognize if I plug in

slate arrow
#

should yeah

#

PS4 has native keyboard support

#

(just most games chose not to recognize keyboard and mice)

forest lark
#

I might try pkuging mouse and keyboard today

#

Itd bebeasier to play

#

Like ppl type to me and it takes ages for me to reply with controller

#

So i just dont type anything at all lol

slate arrow
#

honestly getting a keyboard just to type in any game does wonders

#

even PS4 messaging is easier with a keyboard

tulip basin
#

Thanks for your help

slate arrow
#

(I've never owned a PS4 but I do have an xbox one and switch)

mossy current
#

I've been using a keyboard for about a year now on PS4

#

Works very well

tulip basin
#

@mossy current do you use mouse as well? Or only use keyboard for typing and use controller for other things

slate arrow
#

the only issue you might have with a mouse on PS4 is because since it's a software mouse you might encounter some weird input latency

mossy current
#

I can't use a mouse on my lap when playing

slate arrow
#

since the PS4 doesn't have raw mouse input like with windows

mossy current
#

So just keyboard and controller

tulip basin
#

Oh ok! That makes sense

hardy stirrup
#

Will it take me more than 100k gil to change my Chocobo's color to black?

#

Counting the food

crystal bluff
#

just use the free black chocobo they give you kappa

warped nest
#

It ain't free

crystal bluff
#

i mean technically youre right

hardy stirrup
#

I cannot turn Haurchefant's into a goddamn Behemoth chicken

crystal bluff
#

not with that attitude

hardy stirrup
#

Yeah well modifying Haurchefant's sacred gift is blasphemy

#

I need to mutate the company one

#

And create the ultimate oversized chicken

#

Are hunt parties still common?

#

Centurio farming is not tedious, but kinda janky

#

Need dem seals

thick bolt
#

How do I get more blue mage totems?

warped nest
#

If you mean the totem you use to learn some skills

#

Those are awarded with your BLU job quests

mossy current
#

Or certain achievements in the carnavale

#

Or how many total spells learned

thick bolt
#

thank you

warped nest
#

Check your BLU spell book

#

Wait... Nvm, I think they only tell you which totem teach you the skill

#

But not how to get em

red torrent
#

Hey guys anyone know what level purchasable market board gear out scales augmented scaevan gear? Iโ€™m a tank going through ShB and want to keep myself updated as the first dungeon hit hard AF.

mossy current
#

HQ Level 76+ gear should be better

#

But if you have full augmented scaevan gear in holminster, and it hurt too much, something there is the issue

red torrent
#

No right now Iโ€™m running white oak 385 full set

mossy current
#

NQ?

red torrent
#

But Iโ€™m level 74 so I was deciding when to upgrade and to scaevan or wait a couple days of roulettes and upgrade

#

No HQ

slate arrow
#

yeah no holminster just hits like a truck

#

If you're having issues consider doing the level 69 dungeon instead for an easier time

red torrent
#

Our healer was complaining the whole dungeon about my gear

mossy current
#

Your gear should be fine

whole wasp
#

aug scaeven is more than enought for holminister

red torrent
#

But he was just being a knob xD

twilit arch
#

HQ white oak set is fine for holmeister, but honestly its just the dungeon itself

#

like industrial said, it hits like a truck in general

red torrent
#

Me and my fc mate(dps) ended up duoing the last boss cuz healer died and wouldnโ€™t accept the raise from our SMN

twilit arch
#

sounds like the healer might've been the issue?

mossy current
#

Yea

#

Seems like it

red torrent
#

But I just wanted to stay on top of things just in case

#

So I thought Iโ€™d ask

#

xD

whole wasp
#

Yea sounds a healer problem

red torrent
#

Thank god for clemency haha

whole wasp
#

esp if they rather wipe

twilit arch
#

since some people can be a bit forgetful that the entry dungeons for expacs can be a bit rougher than doing endgame dungeons of previous expac

red torrent
#

Ya I was surprised

#

First dungeon Iโ€™ve been with solid tankbusters in a whole

#

While*

#

Usually thatโ€™s only in raids xD

#

Or trials

clever quiver
#

I dont know if this is a bug or I'm missing something but I got to Wolves Den and I can't join a Frontline or any of the PVP modes, even though I'm a level 35 conjurer?

mossy current
#

First off, do your job quests

#

Secondly, do grand company quests

#

Rank up and you'll get a quest for frontlines eventually

hardy stirrup
#

So uh, is there a good and efficient way to farm centurio seals?

#

Other than well, hunt parties

mossy current
#

HW and SB hunts

clever quiver
mossy current
#

Job

#

You're a class

#

Do job quests to get White Mage

hardy stirrup
#

^

clever quiver
#

Ohhhh okay

hardy stirrup
#

You gotta be at least lvl 30

mossy current
#

They're level 35

hardy stirrup
#

And have done the MSQ and Job quests

clever quiver
#

yeah i am 35

worldly ermine
#

did u get a whm stone

red torrent
#

Did you do your class quests xD?

clever quiver
#

no not yet I'm still doing the story quests

red torrent
#

There ya go

clever quiver
#

I've done all the class quests

hardy stirrup
#

Quite sure HW and SB hunts are the only way to get Centurio but ok, I still don't know the best way to do them

clever quiver
#

Ok i see

red torrent
#

Thatโ€™s why

clever quiver
#

My bad sorry

red torrent
#

You need the job stone

#

No worries ๏ผ

hardy stirrup
#

Oh god the current weekly for SB hunt is in Lochs

red torrent
#

Thatโ€™s what this is here for

hardy stirrup
#

This is gonna be pain

clever quiver
#

I'm still only at lvl 20 something story quests but lvl 35 on my conjurer lol

red torrent
#

Are battle beast tribes worth doing in ARR?

mossy current
#

Jobs quests are as important as MSQ, so its important

red torrent
#

I heard only SB and ShB give worthwhile exp for dailies

mossy current
#

If you want

#

There are some cool mounts

#

And I've heard maxing them out gives a cool quest

hardy stirrup
#

Oh yeah WHM gets a free unicorn mount

#

So, yeah do that

mossy current
#

CNJ does

#

It's exclusive to the class

clever quiver
#

!! Unicorn!! whoa

mossy current
#

Rather than the job

hardy stirrup
#

Don't you need to do the class quests up to the point you unlock WHM first to get that other person to give you the Unicorn quest?

mossy current
#

Yea

#

But to accept it, have to be CNJ

hardy stirrup
#

Same thing then

#

@clever quiver

mossy current
#

I'm sad only fem hyurs get to ride horses like that

clever quiver
#

That;s beautiful

hardy stirrup
#

Poor Dork Knight don't get easy free mounts

mossy current
#

The battle panther is cool

twilit arch
#

fem elezen also ride like that

hardy stirrup
#

Meanwhile Au Ra

mossy current
#

Au ra and miqo ride it normally

twilit arch
#

and tanks only get free mounts from their respective "tank you" achievements

mossy current
#

Easy when you farm emination(ex)

hardy stirrup
#

How many Dark Horse type mount are there excluding the black unicorn?

#

I know of Sleipnir, Garo ones, and Grani

mossy current
#

Nightmare

hardy stirrup
#

Nightmare is the black unicorn

mossy current
#

It's a dark horse

twilit arch
#

he said excluding it

hardy stirrup
#

I said excluding that so... Yeah only those 3

twilit arch
#

night pegasus

#

the pvp horses technically since they're brown, but they've got barding on

hardy stirrup
#

Ah, looks neat but it has no barding

#

Or well, horse armor

twilit arch
#

juedi

hardy stirrup
#

Really tempted to buy ShB collector's for Grani

coarse tapir
#

Hey what jobs uses mats that only miners get

hardy stirrup
#

Juedi?
From HoH?

twilit arch
#

you have to complete floor 100 of HoH 4 times to get juedi

hardy stirrup
#

Doesn't seem worth it imo

#

Ah well

twilit arch
#

@coarse tapir blacksmith, armorsmith, alchemist, goldsmith are the main ones that make use of miner mats

hardy stirrup
#

Why are the SB and ShB collector's stuff fewer than the ARR and HW ones I wonder...

coarse tapir
#

Ah okay then thank you

#

Its probably from the fact that them shoving novelty items in wont cut it

hardy stirrup
#

Well, earlier collector's stuff includes a free Fantasia to add more bang for your buck

coarse tapir
#

I mean come on a wol helmet and a cecil drk helmet arent great selling points

#

Acc that is true

frozen violet
#

can you unsync and stomp the return to ivalyse alliance raids to clear the pre-reqs for the relic weapon unlock quests or do you have to do it via duty finder only

coarse tapir
#

Well you get a nice horse mount regardless

hardy stirrup
#

Then SB has Syldra mount, a RDM weapon, and the minion of FFV's MC

mossy current
#

If you unsync, at least have a few people in each party or in one party

#

Cannot solo the Ivalice raids

twilit arch
#

You need atleast 3 people, more than likely more for ivalice

#

need atleast 1 person per party to do alliance raids unsync

hardy stirrup
#

Then again, Grani looks way better than any other other collector's mounts

#

Or rather, more iconic since Grani is in some of the cover of ShB

mossy current
#

But has no relevance

twilit arch
coarse tapir
#

I kinda wish we got a bit more flair with the previous mounts

#

Ah mb

rough shoal
#

Is there a list of FATEs worth doing for cool rewards?

hardy stirrup
#

You mean like Odin and Behemoth?

rough shoal
#

I guess

hardy stirrup
#

Do we even have more than 2 special FATEs? The kind that only spawns every few hours

twilit arch
coarse tapir
#

Yeah i suppose

twilit arch
#

thought the bulk of them are either Eureka Notorious Monsters or event fates

mossy current
#

Definitely more than 2 special fates

#

Expansions added a some

hardy stirrup
#

Exclude the Eureka and Event ones

coarse tapir
#

Is eureka even doable at this point

hardy stirrup
#

I am seeing some that gives good glamour and barding

rough shoal
#

there could be ones for minions or something so I wanted to make sure

twilit arch
#

yes, they made it so eureka can be solo'd

#

easier in a group, of course

hardy stirrup
#

There is an Imp minion iirc

#

From a FATE

sinful breach
#

yeah thats the chimera fate from northern thanalan

frozen violet
#

what all can I do to level my alt jobs without really being able to dungeon queue cus dps wait list is hell

twilit arch
#

palace of the dead (1-60)/heaven on high (61-70) is the general recommendation for dps

hardy stirrup
grave thicket
#

Guys, what am I doing wrong at Frontline PVP? Other BLMs get 600k dmg, while I barely hit 250.

sinful breach
#

lb?

grave thicket
#

I'm using it, but people can dodge it quite easy tbh

sinful breach
#

mm are you using proper rotations or attacking the squishier targets?

grave thicket
#

I usually attack whatever's closer, to not risk getting interrupted for out of range

limber crypt
#

I have no idea but is/was your KDA behind or at same level? Doesnt really matter if others are padding numbers on something they cant kill while you actually kill

grave thicket
#

Rotation wise, I should just spam the stronger fire and go blizz when I need to regen mana, right?

#

My KDA usually is decent

#

last frontline I had 6/2/25

#

I use the other skills that require polyglot when they're ready too

limber crypt
#

I mean what I remember from other mmos (am sprout sorry ๐Ÿ˜… ) its that there are people who attack tanks/healers (or combo of them) and sure they do lot of numbers but they dont actually kill anyone

warped nest
#

XIV PvP is about positioning and bursting

#

You probably need 3-4 people to kill a Tank x healer pair

sinful breach
#

pretty sure in pvp you should be aiming to group up on 1 target and kill it, not sure if the meta has changed but people couple of patches back liked to nuke down the healers

empty parrot
#

A question about lofted itemsโ€”if I change their position, would they go back to the floor, or would they stay afloat?

coarse tapir
#

Hey where are bsmโ€™s based

sinful breach
#

if you rotate they should stay afloat, but if you move them they snap back

twilit arch
#

in limsa

#

same with armoursmith

leaden ginkgo
#

my cousin says he doesnโ€™t need thunder in his BLM rotation at 70 and up

#

is he wrong ?

#

i personally think he is extremely wrong

#

when i have massive pulls all i see is him casting flare or foul

#

at this point itโ€™s so annoying

twilit arch
#

yes. he's wrong

blissful matrix
#

its not a matter of opinion tbh, hes objectively hindering his damage output

dawn mountain
twilit arch
leaden ginkgo
#

yes iโ€™ll send that to him right now

#

i donโ€™t wanna steal his shine by maiming a BLM instead of tanking but i may have to lol
