i just want to make sure that you didn't read about using Zodiac to skip anima
then you went off and wasted a week on zodiac
@flat summit
Each expansion has their own Relic weapons.
ARR = Zodiac Braves
HW = Anima
SB = Eureka
ShB = ||Resistance Weapons.||
They are apart from each other, but you can trade a Zodiac Zeta weapon to skip the 1st Anima Weapon Phase. (Fate grind.)
different series of relic weapons, yes
Btw what role do poetics play on this?
use poetics to buy materials used to upgrade the weapons
Buying relic-specific stuff
The various steps
one sec
Zodiac uses a decent amount of them, Anima uses a LOT of them
materials to upgrade them
Let's embark on an epic journey to obtain the fabled Anima Weapons!

Ahh to upgrade their ilevels and stats?
and aether oil
@flat summit
Relic weapon = Ultimate Weapon
It is the same, but the Relics are upgraded troughout patches.
They are weak at first, but they become the best weapons for the expansion eventually.
I see
they are only the best for like half a year, then we will move into a new expansion
sorry for the beginner question, but i was wondering why i can't do the bard quest to get wanderer's minuet? I'm level 52 but I can't find it
people do it for fun, and/or for glamour
I like how we have to use them to go through long steps of forging these weps tho haha
Makes it feel epic
And value it
Skaial, are you in the Heavensward story yet?
@errant cosmos if you're still working on the ARR patch quests, then you need to finish those and get to heavensward's main scenario quest before you can get the heavensward job quests
Btw so poetics are used for mats that can upgrade the anima wep’s item level , stats and such?
yes
Oh, alright. I didn't realize I had to finish them first. Yeah, I'm on the patch quests now
I see, so if Im just pursuing old relics for the glamour, i should save my poetics for the current expansions relic weps?
current expansion don't use Poetics
Oh right
current expansion relic does use poetics
Its the 2 types of end gane tomestones
poetics is the universal tomestone for previous expansions
thavnairian scalepowder for the first step
So I guess poetics are useless for me?
!faq poetics
what level are you?
do you have other jobs at lvl 50-70?
No I skip all my jobs
I see, ok thats great bcuz I keep feeling bad whfn doing roulettes
Bcuz i cant get any more poetics
Of my max
😂
Thanks guys
poetics are easy to get no reason to feel bad
it only feels bad when you are dried up on it from using it for anima relics
They are so easy to get, so i cap those every day from 0.
you can always exchange poetics for demicrystal, like what Techimura said
!item demicrystal
Ohh
is this the channel where i ask for help with ex
ahhh... not enough info here
What are they for again?
Demi crystals are basically your direct Gil option
recruiting
Ah ok right
25 poetics per crystal which are worth 500 each to a vendor
wheres dat
Potentially more if you use your retainer to sell them to other players
Make sure to grab your datacenter’s role in #612757637813239808
you need to pick a role first though
25 poetics per crystal which are worth 500 each to a vendor
2000 poetics = 40k
More if you toss to doman reconstruction
Or use the in game party finder
@faint flare cries due to never running out of crystals
How easy/hard is bard? I kinda want to take a backseat since I dont think I want to be yelled at for not doing big enough numbers
and I dont like healers*

Pretty button mashy, but the general rotation is simple
Its an active job
you cycle between 3 songs, anything glows you press (basically), anything comes off cooldown you press
Unless you get no procs then you cry in a corner
not sure if that works for "backseat"
A better idea would be to practice doing big numbers

I still click my skills despite trying to put in muscle memory to press keys, I dont think ill be doing big numbers, so I might as well supplement the ones that can
dancer is pretty lazy, imo
outside of technical step burst window
red mage is also pretty straight forward without much thinking
will you consider tanking?
Ive been playing a lot of gnb recently and thats fun. Currently my lack of dungeon knowledge holds me back from making the right calls with big pulls
also giving heart attacks with superbolide is neat
if dps is what you are looking for, then yeah, what Kael said is pretty much the choices you have

So dancer and bard right?
dancer and red mage, bard is a okay 3rd choice
i personally think that dragoon is not too bad, on par with bard as a viable choice, but behind dancer/red-maga
monk can ignore positional for more than 50% of the time thanks to their Ability, but it is still a lot of button presses
ninja is slower compared to monk, but ninja has a few thing ongoing at the same time
samurai is the same as ninja, mutliple things to track and juggle
dragoon at high level is cycling between 2 5-step combo (very easy to remember) and doing Jump to build toward a burst phase
Hello lads
If i am level 32
And my marauder is lvl 6
How long would it take me to level my mara up to my normal level
Using what ever the best speed leveling strat is
Not long
Road to 70 or not?
nope
maybe 1-2 days
not long
Hmm, hunt log to 16, then dungeon spam with one roulette
assuming playing for 5-8 hours
one roulette?
lol no
so... how often does white mage use bind or sleep late game?
What is roulette tho
oh shit nice
Roulette match make you with other players into a dungeon you have unlocked
I meant one roulette because it's a daily bonus, I need to learn to finish trains of thought
Hunt log might take a couple hours, then you're gonna have a big boost in exp from dungeons, especially with tank queues, and those early levels don't follow the rule of 7 runs per dungeon
If you have prior hard core grinding experience you should be able to do it in less than a day
Whats the best place to level 60 to cap? Might as well start on the dancer
Im still inbetween shb and sb so I figured I'd level dancer enough to be able to do shb and do the msq wuth it
!faq altlevelguide
!faq altlvlguide
so maybe not to cap but comfortably enough to go through shb
supplement info: do the lvl 69 dungeon to hit lvl 71. then it is MSQ, roulette, highest level dungeon
whats the lvl 69 dungeon?
Castrum abania
oh rip I dont think I have it yet
Its via story
only americans eat duck sauce
they are still in between ShB and SB
so probably very close to it
only americans eat duck sauce
@hazy harbor wrong channel?
btw
When i get 50
and choose samurai
Do i have to level sam from lvl 1 or lvl 50
no
50
it starts at 50
and you will be a weeb
"Do i have to level sam from lvl 1 or lvl 50"
No
lul
find a striking dummy, and use it to reorganize your hotbar
samurai has a lot of tools for a lvl 50 job
the only the heavensward classes put you at a lower lvl I think
yeah
how many skills can u unlock for the chocobo?
i think you can max 2 trees if you reach rank 20 with it?
You can max all 3 trees at rank 20
@lime sphinx you get 3 leve allowances every 12 hours, so technically yes
You can stockpile up to 100
omg
they are
BROKEn
for leveling botanist/miner
with road to 70 you'd get 2 levels per leve
Remember you aren’t making much Gil with them than what you could by grinding materials to sell
yea that's right tho, but you can come back later with higher hq chance i guess
is it possible to solo the ex hw trials
Definitely some my friend did 2 on whm
which ones are hard
the later ones
Most of them are only doable as PLD for their mitigation/self-healing
the triad?
Mainly the warring triad
yeah
Bismarck requires good burst to kill one of the snake adds fast enough
And Ravana needs a bit of self healing/mitigation depending on how fast you can kill
What are some of the good 1-30 class stories?
I’m in free trial atm and idk what to do after I finish up the msqs
None of them really stand out particularly, but I do like the Thaumaturge one for the sibling dynamic.
easiest afterward might be Sophia? only because she doesn't have anything that instant kill you, aside from the 2 moves she can do to push you off the grid
I’ve heard good shit about pugilist and rogue
So you get a final job quest.... I just figured this out...
All it gives you is.. 3 VII Materia
The level 80 job quests are just an achievement and title, along with a bit of story to tie up some loose ends and other things depending on the job
@subtle marten Funnily enough MNK was ranked last on the Job satisfaction survey
And nothing really to do with the pugilist 1-30 story lol
weird clarification
Just didn’t want to make it sound like an official one done in the game.
im prob gonna finish up the msq till i get to lvl35 then get all the jobs to the same level
till i buy the expacs and get a sub
im really liking the game so far, even though ARR is kinda a slog
You don't need a sub for like 45 days
why do i have to go through two loading screens just to get to minfilia
back and forth
its like 30 days if i just get the expacs
which i might try to speedrun as my drg
30 days is enough to pretty casually go through the entire story.
Shadowbringers on release took me a good week or so of very casual leveling and casual reading.
haha yea it didnt take me 3 months haha
I'm sure I got 45 days I've played more than 30 still got time left
why do i have to go through two loading screens just to get to minfilia
too many key quests happening there, don't want to strain the game with insane amount of players on screen trying to do their quests
and all of heavensward/stormblood
Stormblood and Heavensward also take a week or so each depending on how fast you read
assuming you do nothing else
like gone off and level a different job to do msq
And if you make a character on a preferred world and get them to level 30 you get 14 free days of sub
Once you have the game registered
is it still possible to get the exp boost earring?
Nope
That's it. Extra exp server
what's all the possible xp boosting gear right now
Basically worlds marked by SE to have a lower population, and are given incentives like boosted experience gain and the aforementioned free days.
i have the hat and the ring
oh ok
That’s pretty much all of them besides some random Mogstation costumes
honestly after my 30 days are up im prob gonna go for a 180 day sub
You can level jobs to 70 in a day after you have 80s and stuff
seems like the best deal imo
Which only work to level 30 and have pretty bad stats for use in actual combat
they are designed to give small bonuses
not massive advantage
even the Preferred server EXP bonus is a form of bonus, especially great for players who want to level multiple jobs
practically useless for players who just want to do story with 1 job
so don't worry too much about getting exp-bonus items/gears in game
are all the jobs fun to play?
Depends on you
i actually recommend leveling as tank
Queues
I like most of them, but never really got a hang of Gunbreaker and Summoner due to how they are.
Dps queues can be brutal
For Blue mage, the guide says you can get the abilities from any level of that monster
tank has easy damage rotation, fast queue, and let you take your time to learn dungeons
@broken pasture as long as it uses the same named ability then it should work.
white mage has literally 2 damage skills all the way until 45
then they learn a 3rd one
But does that count for the spells that specifically say hard?
Like, getting Eruption on normal Ifrit
As long as it is used by that difficulty then yes it works
When the spell says Ifrit Extreme?
if normal ifrit does it, yes
Yeah, he does Eruption
So for the ARR primals you can get Ifrit from normal, Garuda/Shiva from extreme only, and the rest from hard/extreme
this is the only email my friend has recieved in 1 day which takes him to the page where it says the code is being processed does it usually take this long
||ranjit boss fight with protagonist||
||what do I do in his AOE attack with multiple blue balls||
I just died and cant believe I gotta restart all over
First time I used all my dark knight buffs and survived it
Second time was insta kill
What’s the quest name? So I can look up the fight in a video
in eulmore?
Ahhh lmao
is there a way to quick stack from inventory to retainer ?
rule of thumb: if there's an aoe attack and there's red names over the objects, u should probably kill it
Ok thanks
U can tell he was pissed from the prev fight lmao
He increased the number of blue balls tenfold
So noone can escape 🤣
@lime sphinx should be a right click option on the item when interacting with your retainer
He always scare me bu appearing in the most unexpected times
hes pretty spooky looking
yea right click to give it to him, but nothing to sort ALL inv into retainer if the objects are present in his inventory?
Nope :/
u have long hair and a weird handlebar moustache?
I think that’s enough for now. :p
lmao
Hi i'm currently playing the free trial atm and am thinking about buying the game while it's on sale. If I buy the complete edition on the Squareenix store does it apply to my account right away or does it email me a code that I can activate whenever? Just wanted to maximize my time with the free trial before I have the subscription start.
It emails you a code. You don't have to put it in until you want the trial to end
You store account is seperate
it isnt connected so whatever you buy from there you get codes
okay thanks!
So... what's the best use for yellow/white scrips when you've got the best gear already?

you can buy materials and other items
That I get, but is there anything particularly valuable/useful at the moment? Just so I'm not wasting them on worthless things.
depends on your needs? if you need bait for fishing, materia for melding, etc
or you can use thise for converting it into gil on the mb
also before you do that use https://universalis.app/ for your server to cross compare
Final Fantasy XIV Online: Market Board aggregator. Find Prices, track Item History and create Price Alerts. Anywhere, anytime.
Do be aware that Universalis is based on user-input through using their plug-in and looking at items on the marketboard, so prices can be outdated.
Also the MB is cutthroat as heck and you will be undercutted by even a 100% or more
Alright, I'll check that out, thanks for the links! I just got my crafter/gatherer to 80 and all geared up, but I wasn't sure where to go from there. Straight gil's always good though ^^
got your skytool tools yet?
I got one so far and I'm preparing for some others ^^ So it's really the white scrips I have no clue what to do with now.
i find of all that stuff they sell the materia sell reliably at least
i still have baitbugs up after weeks
but that is anecdotal
Currently that seems like the best idea. Better than capping on custom deliveries and not using them.
Thanks for your input, Techimura!
So, why no one talk about blue mages? and are they viable as dps ?
They’re side content, to put it plainly.
They have a lower level cap compared to other jobs, can’t do the story, and can’t queue up with random people in the duty finder.
Among other small restrictions
lol, why do they exist then xD
Its just fun side content
like something to go to in order to take some rest from the game, got it
thanks guys
If I buy the discounted version off the square Enix website and use the code to upgrade my steam free trial to full version there won't be any complications right? I'll be able to access the full version from steam without being prompted to pay again right?
you have to buy it on steam
You can’t use non-steam codes for steam.
And since you started the trial on steam you have to buy off of steam
But it's not discounted on steam. At least not last time I checked
Doesn’t matter. Steam only accepts steam licenses.
yeah once you link your squeenix account to steam it's locked to steam
you can't buy stuff off the square enix web store
RIP
Would need a whole new account to use SE store
the code off the store you mean
Yea
Hey guys, is the xp boost from levelling alt jobs activated automatically?
No trigger?
Yes
only trigger required is one of the jobs have to be higher in level
Ah thanks
equal in level the bonus is lost
!faq armouryexp
'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.
what do you wall do with random enemy drops? I assume they're all useful in some crafting recipe so just hand everything to the retainer?
Are the status effects. . .enhancements or enfeeblements?
Yes
trying to organize my hud layout
You'll need to see both, debuffs primarily
@summer haven yea you can save it for crafting for later, or sell them on the mb
thanks. I'm still leveling up my primary job and wondering when its a good time to take a break from that and level some of the lifeskilling jobs. I keep reading "just get to 50" as that's when the fun stuff(?) really starts, but these story fetch quests are getting really old. I'm lvl 47 now. is 50 a good time or should I keep pushing?
do them whenever you feel like it
you can also do whatever youw ant
however it is more efficient to finishing msq than beginning new jobs
but it comes down to what you want from the game
base game msq or through shadowbringer?
I finished shadowbringer and got 80 before I learned new jobs
I usually recommend waiting to level crafting/gathering until you're done with msq and are lvl 80
that might be just because im enamoured with bard
since you'll have a decent amount of gil, and have lots of locations and whatnot unlocked to make it easier to level up
but that said, if you need a break from the msq, then by all means level up crafters or gatherer
or give the gold saucer a whirl
what determines taxes on the mb?
5%
cool. so long as i'm not sabotaging myself by doing so, i can go back and forth. I'm by no means trying to minmax my gaming life or anything like that. I can take it slow
why do some stuff not have taxes tho
I wasnt aware things didnt
All items should have a tax now. 

Unless you’re selling for like 1-2 Gil
I coulda sworn I bought something without
so if there was a huge stack of something selling for 4 Gil would it be taxed?
cant be selling for 4 gil
It should, yeah since the total is over 5
unless u consider a stack of 4 huge
ah
4g each will be taxed
Oh, yeah. You can’t price a stack of items at less than 1 Gil per item
4g total no
for disguise quests, do you actually have to equip the items?
yes
how do i move the chat log?
umm so im level 30 and did ACN job quests up to lvl 30. how do i become a SMN? do i need to do MSQ up to 30 also?
click and hold the bottom bar of the combat log
you have to equip the soulstone
you need to complete the msq "Sylph Management" (lv20) to be able to unlock your job
soul crystal xD
@twilit arch thx
does this server have a way to facilitate people looking for groups to run old savage/extreme content? I’m new to the game, somewhat in the middle of catching up, and I would like to be able to experience some of the older stuff “””as intended””” should the option be available to me.
where do i get some quick xp to lvl up so i can keep doing the story quests?
i need to do 61-62 and im in kugane rn
bought a story skip so sorry if this is a stupid question but idk what's going on
Hey guys
So i havent really sold anything yet
Where should i be selling gear and general trash
Market or certain vendors?
I've been using the highest level dungeon i can run. basically having one queued up while i run msq.
aight cool thx
i'm pretty new to the game, though, so there's probably a better answer
@prime pendant any vendor is fine for general trash selling. You can trade old dungeon gear to the grand company once you're sergeant second class, for white gear you can sell that to any vendor or hold onto it for alt jobs
Is it worth putting anything on the market at this point?
some times can be worth it yeah
Auto afk kick is only turned on during expansion launch, so outside of that people just keep their game logged in @remote lintel

isn't that just gonna make their electricity bill huge
I have a constant electric bill
does the top change in the other dyed pics?
daily
So I was wondering what its like with black
try asking the fashion channel or whatever it's called
Brw is there any gear in the game that looks like that one and is avail for all classes?
Oh we have one?
Thanks
shop selling price is how much you buy it for from shops
ah ok
Evening all. Is there an lfg channel I can post for roulettes?
I assume he wants a group to do all the roulettes with at once
that was what i base my advice fof of
I have been and it never pans out. Better to wait the 40 mins in queue instead of forever on faerie.
Also, how do you use materia on an item>?
go to a materia vendor
melder*
can you get B& for saying "dps is not high enough"
based on % and not actual numbers
Think im gonna play some more
no Takkun
Should probably get 35 by Wednesday so then i can buy the game at the end of the sale
once you use names it could be dicey @static yacht
No
saying "dps isn't high enough" isn't bannable
k cool
What are these for on the companion app?
if you're hitting enrage, then its pretty clear dps is bad
I'm curious as to what the endgame content consists of in ff14
fashion
buying a house
raids

Anything is possible in the world of. . . Fantasy
💪
👍
🦵 🦵
@open current Not really. :/
But there is this discord that runs content synced.
good evening, im trying to get back into the game after a 5 month break ( and even when I did play it was only for like a month using a lot of boosts
yes I know its frowned upon but I didn't have a lot of time to play) my question is; if I bought everything and boosted up to the beginning of shadowbringers .. should I just make a new character to relearn the game and then use my main so those boosted classes arent put to waste, or tough it out on my main character that i spent money on
sorry for long read I cant think efficiently right now and trying my hardest to make as much sense as possible right now
How much exp do you get for running 51-60 of potd?
@obsidian patio woah thank you so much!!
I heard it was the most efficient potd grind, and wanted to double check.
@timid pivot ennough to level once or twice if you are below lvl 60
after level 60 its inefficient exp
Phone being bad at autocorrect
Bookmarked, thanks Wynne!
what do you need to do in order to be able to exchange the planicluster things for crafting VIII materia? seems like i can only exchange for battle ones... 😭
Scroll down more
iirc crafting materia is traeded bys crips
they're locked 😦
they're greyed out and says i don't have enough items which is wrong
@leaden ginkgo levelling has been prettyt fun for me if you have time to enjoy the game i would reccomend it
I have in the past in gw2 used boosts and I understood the game a lot less than when i actually made it there by levelling
I just want to get into endgame healing without dragging others down on my way there
my highest is lv 72 astro and 57 scholar ATM
Yeah i feared that was the answer, just had to hear it from someone with more experience than me.
Also if this is the correct place to ask; does anyone play with a keypad? if so do you mind sharing your keybinds ( sorry if this is against TOS) Just bought one and dont really know where to start
yeah i have a razer viper ultimate but i wanna take this game a lot more serious so I bought the naga trinity and the orbweaver chroma.. just got in today lol but so overwhelmed with so many buttons
wish I could help but...thas a lot of buttons
bind the ones that are comfortable for you to use
first
for me I just have 1-12 on actionbar 1, shift 1-12 on 2, ctrl 1-12 on actionbar 3, and thats all I need
not enough abilities
Can you Esuna Doom from the first boss in The Sunken Temple of Qarn?
I understand you, thank you again techimura! ill get out of ur hair now
nonsense u arent in our hair
@signal rover nope. People with doom for that fight need to stand on the glowy platforms
For future reference, all buffs that Esuna can remove are marked with a white line above them
That's what I thought/knew but this guy in my group yelled at me for not removing it.
Their fault 
Doom is weird in that basically every iteration of it is different
He saw one version and thought it applied to all of them
Some want esuna, some want full HP, some want another specific mechanic like those platforms
Totally not defending being an ass, though
Hello, my friend wants to ask if the veteran reward items are locked to one character or if they can use it on mulitple characters
So they can be used on all characters, how can they access them if they already redeemed it on one character?
He's still going on about it :3
This probably gets asked a lot but is there a preferred order of which twin to find first in Shadowbringers?
Hmm
No actual difference in which one you do first
Thanks Wynne
its possible to farm atma for relics on other worlds ?
jus reached lv 15 and got this recommendation feature
should i just blindly follow it? or is there another method for "Faster" leveling?
follow your msq. that should give you plenty of levels.
You do your msq
msq = main quest? 
Recommendation are recommending side contents you can attempt
what does a flag beside a player's name mean?
It is short for Main Scenario Quest
^
👍
Green check in the middle of completed
the three other people were in a group and the healer decided that healing wasnt a thing they should be doing
the three other people were in a group and the healer decided that healing wasnt a thing they should be doing
@keen fable did they never heal? Or heal occasionally?
@patent citrus that's your MSQ tracker
heal very occasionally, and then halfway through went into an entirely different room than us multiple times
It also shows you job quests if you got em
so i learned what the shortcut was about 15 times
If noone dies then its good
Did the party die?
quite a few times yes
Then thats bad
i pulled a mob pack at the beginning, not knowing how much damage i could take, turned out 4 was too many, and so i just pulled one mob pack at a time, and we still died because i would die from the healer just not healing me at all
even with rampart up
What level dungeon?
it was the first dungeon, the pirate one, stasha?
Satasha
ye
Mmmm

Confused healer then
Someone probably explained to them how healer should keep HP at around 80% to avoid overhealing
Healers tend to.heal when required. Health doesn't need to be at full all the time
I did too many Side Quest I think, i'm lv 15, MSQ sitll lv 11 -_-
But didn't teach about reading incoming damage
no i completely understand that, i main healers in other mmo's and i get that in this one, they do more dps than per others
but not healing at all? seems a bit of a stretch
Focus on
Dank
Yeah then probably just a bad/rookie healer
with rampart up, i would live another 5 seconds or so, but still no heals so idk
At satasha, yeah
Probably a rookie healer receiving half assed advises
cause imma switch off tank real quick
Most groups are moderately component
Competent
Lol
okay good. i assumed i was doing my job, i wasnt pulling massive packs and i was keeping aggro
And used defensive cooldowns
indeed
On lvl 30+, you can usually handle 2 groups comfortably so thats 6 adds
Depending on what dps you have (and the healer actually healing) you can get away with more
Look some people are stubborn and daft
Since some jobs have aoes at early levels while others dont
!action Death Blossom
Sad Ninja
I know people with every class at 80 and they're just....bad.
And sad dragoons
its ok to be bad.
Since doom spike is like 40 or some shit
but they are...so you gotta deal with it
when does blm get their aoe?
!action Fire II
!action Fire 2
18
Same as anywhere else
Queue is done on Data Center level
When you queue, you will be match made with all World in the same Data Center
blm seems intriguing
i figured, but is there an estimate on it? some people say 45 minutes, some say 10, others say its quick, and i know it can fluctuate on time of day too, but is it really bad while leveling, the queues for dps?
10-20 is the norm
Very rarely it will exceed 30 minutes
Yeaah
Same ballpark
With syncing
Healer queue is probably the fastest in endgame
black mage is fun
Though my ques for expert as dps aren't bad
^
but only around like lvl 70
Usually around 6mins at reset
even as dps.
i see
my queues for roulettes can be awful
I got a 5 minute dps queue on Tonberry yesterday not during peak time
but its varies heavily
i love tanking and healing, but most of the tanks and healers seem overlysimplistic, tanks moreso than heals, because healers usually have to deal with dps eating aoes
But yeah average 15mins and expect variance depending on type of day
that's just early game @keen fable
And what content you que for
Eh i say tank is easiwr
oh i know that, i've looked at endgame too, but tanks just seem to have to deal with what tanks in every game have to deal with, but with a rotation thats overly easy
Tanks do have simpler rotation
and its driving me away from tanks in general
Just turn stance on, spam your only.combo(s) and face roll defensives
how do i make money in this game?
tanks have to position themselves too
Try Gunbreaker and Paladin at later levels. A little more buttons than the rest
^
Take it from a DRK main who off's WAR sometimes for fights
Gunbreaker is basically a DPS that tanks well
DoW/M: treasure maps
DoH: make stuff to sell to other players
DoL: gather stuff to sell to DoH
i was under the impression that paladin and DRK were the simple tanks
Warrior and Dark Knight are simple. I like simple but you might not
Drk is simple
@warped nest whats a treasure map? is fishing viable?
Paladin slightly morw complex but rigid rotation
How long does it take
push it as far at it can go
Ok thanks
Iirc
Treasure map is high level contents where you look for treasure chest with a map item. Occasionally, they will open a portal for a dungeon, the dungeon reward RNG rewards, most of them can sell for good money
Fishing for gils: you only have 3-5 viable source of income, compared to Miner/Botanist's hundreds
between whm and sch, which one is generally more complex?
Scholar
Scholar
(mostly because i cant unlock astrologist until later anyways)
scholar is a lot more about preventing damage as well, right?
Yea
from simplest to most technical its probably White Mage - Scholar - Astro
Its the "shield" healer
Scholar has 1 defined role but a swiss army knife of tools to use
Scholar has tools to shield, but it can heal normally too
Astrologian can give some of their heal spell regen or shield properties
but you gotta juggle
is the rotation for scholar strict though?
lol no
Dps wise none are
all healers are single button rotations. they're meant to be filler
You got bog standard nuke, dot and occasionally another dps tool and a aoe
I won't used the word Filler
so in a nutshell healers are there to provide buffs and dps and heal when necessary, or in scholar's case, shield then dps
hello as a new player/trial - should i worry about crafting/gathering? all the areas have red ! icons
No
Red icons are quests you cannot do currently
Healing only when required to heal
Shielding is more than that
Most GCDs are mostly spent on dps
Scholar Shield cost more MP and it is not permanent, so you gonna make sure your shield absorbs damage, not just expires away
!action Succor
Restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members.
Cure Potency: 180
Additional Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 125% of the amount of HP restored
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with astrologian's Nocturnal Field.
oh okay. seems fun
Each of them comes with different set of challenges to play well
Where is my limit break??
are all the tank roles used during dungeon/raid/end game or are there only 2 out of the 4 brought etc
All
In a dungeo my limit was full but couldnt figure out how to use it
Scholar is knowing when to shield and when to let the fairy and off global heals deal with things, while effectively using aetherflow stacks to their full extent
In your actions menu
There is no "nobody want to use this" job
There is a tab for "General" actions
like Sprint
and Teleport
Limit Break is there
gotcha vinyl. that makes sense. i'd play astrologist if i could lol but scholar seems like the next best option for me
especially cause it levels summoner at the same time
you can drag that to a bar for easy access
which seems to be a really cool dps
yeah if you're looking for complexity
Summoner is awesome
then dps is your go
no dps is as simple as DRK or WAR
DRK's are 1-2-3, cooldowns
and moving
drk is fun
Warrior is "too angry to die"
Ah yes
And does big booty single damage hits
the Doom Guy method
Le casual 60k inner chaos
like. BIG booty single hits
probably a dumb question but; whats the best world/ server for a noobie on EST coast of NA
!action Inner Chaos
behemoth
Delivers a critical direct hit with a potency of 920.
Additional Effect: Reduces the recast time of Infuriate by 5 seconds
Beast Gauge Cost: 50
Can only be executed while under the effect of Nascent Chaos. Effect fades upon execution.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
This shit hits HARD
All NA server are on the same physical location btw
Harder than most other tanks big hits
It doesn't matter where you are on NA
cept maybe Confetti
oh okay thank you, on the map its misleading I thought west coast had priority over east
I think confettidoor is like 800 pot
cerberus why go to behemoth when i can go to a preferred server ;p
yeah but paladins are under a buff while it happens
cause they're all congested
so it generally hits harder iirc
no u
Inner Chaos is guaranteed Crit Direct, so it is definitely more than 920
!action Requiscat
What fish make money? im sorting by demand and its all cheap as hell
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 150. Potency increases up to 550 as MP nears maximum.
Additional Effect: Increases attack magic and healing magic potency by 50% if current MP is at 80% or higher , and allows spells to be cast immediately Duration: 12s
yeah but I mean stupid paladins are just gonna get lucky and out dps me
If confettidoor Crit direct then sure
Hey guys
DRK doesnt do alot of damage 😦
careful we're not bridging too far into #general-discussion 😄
whichever you think is cooler
What fish make money? im sorting by demand and its all cheap as hell
@lapis crown there are fishes you can break down into sands used for crafting
Im a professional dark knight and so-so samurai atm
Yes
nice
I did nier raid too
@warped nest can you give me a name so i can google it
Was awesome
i really dont know like anything about this game
One sec
But dark knight dont need to be 80 to be good
So uh, paladin or warrior?
those sands are from aetherial reductions
Why not both
Bcuz I dont wanna waste money
you can get them from mining/botanist ephemeral nodes as well
I just wanna get 1 mill to buy a rebel coat 😄
Just spam.them dungeons
so Im buying dragoon and not sure whether paladin or warrior
whichever u like more
Is warrior stylish though? or is it like a savage viking brute?
Its angry boy
how about Ronin. Instead of leveling. You go and do a bunch of maps
savage
to get the components for a Rebel Coat (cause they drop there)
^
I don't like using physical shields so dont think I wanna get paladin
then you can level whatever you want after
Do what maps?
you can hide the shield with glamour
I should do more maps soon
No longer an option
make money
1.3 mil isn't too hard if u know what ur doing
which u apparently dont
but u can learn
I have 600k atm
i have a few old inventory that has 100% spiritbond
I can make that much again in maybe 3 days
what should I do with it?
But Im impatient
like my original lv 1 equip
And I hate grinding
You can unlock materia extraction and turn the spiritbond into materia
That quest unlocks materia extraction
Can sell the materia for some cash if you want
if u hate actually grinding for stuff why are u playing
Btw did I just see that warrior is best tank?
pretty much all of the endgame gear and stuff you get from grinding
all tanks are about the same
they just offer slightly different tools for mitigation and slightly different playstyle
bruh i forgot i sold all my fishing gear when i cleaned my inventory while leveling, is there any way i can get that back?
Anyway I think Imma get warrior, paladin looks lame
Thanks guys
No offense to paladin lovers
What gear was it
@faint flare the quest gear
yeah it's some blocking move that gives you giant wings
!action Passage of Arms
from the low level fishing quests
Increases block rate to 100% and creates a designated area in a cone behind you in which party members will only suffer 85% of all damage inflicted.
Duration: 18s
Effect ends upon using another action or moving (including facing a different direction).
Cancels auto-attack upon execution.
