[faint flare]

The depths hide secrets

[flat summit]

Just asking bcuz I don't feel very comfortable living with fish

Fish are food not friends

[remote lintel]

they're nice fish

[keen fable]

fish lives matter

[remote lintel]

^^^^^

technically ur the one who invaded their home and blew away all their water

[keen fable]

yea meanie

[flat summit]

Btw how to spoiler tag again

[twilit arch]

|| like this ||

[keen fable]

||hi||

o

[safe compass]

is Scathe usable at all?

[flat summit]

Is ||the guy who shot Exarch|| the final boss of ShB?

[twilit arch]

yes

[remote lintel]

yes

[flat summit]

Ah ok

[keen fable]

i want to click on that but i dont want spoilers

[flat summit]

And is it a trial or main story dungeon?

[keen fable]

feelsbadman

[faint flare]

Scathe is extremely niche

Trial

[flat summit]

I see

[twilit arch]

@safe compass scathe is pretty niche, basically if you don't have any procs and need to move you can make use of it but outside of that you're not gonna use it much

[remote lintel]

i'm pretty sure it's a dungeon and then trial back to back

@flat summit

[faint flare]

Yeah

[flat summit]

I see, thanks

[faint flare]

Dungeon then straight to trial

[remote lintel]

really good cutscenes btw

wouldn't recommend skipping

[flat summit]

So it's just like senpai

[fresh ravine]

Hey guys i just boosted my lvl 19 lancer to a lvl 70 BLM. i have no clue how to start the shadowbringers questlines xD help?

[faint flare]

You mean the story?

You need to buy a.story skip as well

[flat summit]

U didnt boost ur level 19 lancer to level 70 BLM

U got a level 70 BLM

[faint flare]

Level boost doesn't skip story

[wintry chasm]

^

[flat summit]

Oh dang

@fresh ravine yeah u gotta buy story skip 😂

too

[fresh ravine]

how much is that ?>

[flat summit]

Same price

[wintry chasm]

^ probably

[flat summit]

But u might as well buy it

[fresh ravine]

Litty

yeah. going to

[wintry chasm]

Not necessarily Ronin

[flat summit]

Nice

@fresh ravine but make sure to read everything man

[noble plank]

Is it worth grind for grand company seals?

[faint flare]

Eh

[flat summit]

The trials , skill descriptions etc

[faint flare]

Kinda not really?

[wintry chasm]

Getting higher ranks for grand company is nice to access other things

[faint flare]

Depending on market

And what rank you are

[wintry chasm]

But yeah getting seals just to buy materials is eh

[remote lintel]

@fresh ravine u know that the dlcs are not standalone stories?

[keen fable]

is it worth doing hall of the novice stuff?

[faint flare]

Yeah

[flat summit]

U must

[faint flare]

Gives gear

[flat summit]

To learn basics

By urself

[remote lintel]

i never did them

[keen fable]

basics are pretty freakin easy

so

[wintry chasm]

Hall of the Novice just covers common sense

[remote lintel]

^

[wintry chasm]

It gives nice gear and ring so I'd do it anyway

[twilit arch]

the final exercise gives you a ring that boost xp to 30

so its worth it for that

[keen fable]

oh okay. just unlocked it

alrighty

[obsidian patio]

Said ring is also good to use until 50

[flat summit]

Btw I liked the ShB story just fine

I played it as a person who know nothing about prev games

To me its about bring shadows to the world

And it was pretty interesting

[signal rover]

How do I stop this cursor from automatically coming up? I am using M+KB, no gamepad plugged in.

[remote lintel]

it would have been better if u actually knew what happened before

[flat summit]

Nah I don't need to get it better

I wouldn't play it if I gotta spend all that time

[remote lintel]

it would have hit harder is what I'm saying

[flat summit]

Oh right I get what u mean

But nah man

Life hits u hard enough

Dont need to get harder

[remote lintel]

lmao

[flat summit]

Bruh I still don't understand how my partner thought this empty aquarium with no fish was so awesome

What are the things that get added like?

Buildings?

[remote lintel]

I guess u don't care about spoilers?

[flat summit]

Actually for this one

[lethal mural]

what is the antique armour for?

[flat summit]

I do half half

I wanna know what type of content it is but I dont wanna be fully exposed

[remote lintel]

then I'll just say that you discover something

it's a pretty big something

[flat summit]

Ohh

hm

lol

[keen fable]

how many hall of the novice excercises are there?

[flat summit]

6 or 7

I liked them

[signal rover]

tfw your question gets pushed out by ppl doing #general-discussion in question chat

[twilit arch]

You trade it into kakalan in mor dhona for the af1.5 set @lethal mural

[wintry chasm]

depends on the role Dark

[twilit arch]

it depends on the role

[wintry chasm]

I think min is 6 max is....8/9?

[keen fable]

i see

i'm an arcanist

[quasi canopy]

what does spiritbound effectively mean and why does it warn me before I sell things?

[twilit arch]

healer is 5, tank is 8 dps is 7

[remote lintel]

@lethal mural you exchange it for gear but it's not that great

[little swift]

5 - 8 exercises

[faint flare]

Because you.could make materia from the spiritbond

For free

After unlocking it in black brush

[lethal mural]

@remote lintel ah ok ty

[flat summit]

Oh shit btw Im confused about this aquarium map

[limber swan]

Um

[flat summit]

I got to one of those safe zones, and there's water inside water?

[remote lintel]

wut

[limber swan]

i have a question?

um

[remote lintel]

just ask

[limber swan]

Im trying to do the hairstyle quest

but its not showing up

[slate arrow]

It didn't remove all the water

[limber swan]

im already past lvl 15

[twilit arch]

did you do the main scenario quest "Call of the Sea"?

[slate arrow]

just most of the water

[flat summit]

I thought Im underwater but how is there separate water?

[limber swan]

?

[twilit arch]

because you're in an airpocket essentially

[flat summit]

@slate arrow I am not in the removing water part yet

[limber swan]

probably?

[flat summit]

Nope

[twilit arch]

you need to double check

[flat summit]

I didn't do it yet

[limber swan]

uh.

[flat summit]

I literally just entered this place

[twilit arch]

my question was not directed at you, ronin

[slate arrow]

did you bother to watch the cutscene

[limber swan]

.-.

[flat summit]

Oh the fishermen running away from the tsunami?

[twilit arch]

What main scenario quest are you on, qrow?

[keen fable]

what level is your msq quest @limber swan

[flat summit]

@slate arrow

[limber swan]

?

im on the lvl 28 msqs

im past lvl 15

[wintry chasm]

Did you already do the hairdresser quest?

[limber swan]

?

Idk

was it a msq?

[twilit arch]

[keen fable]

call of the sea is a lvl15 msq so

he's done it

[twilit arch]

quests that have that icon

[slate arrow]

tl;dr Bismark made an air bubble around the tempest which displaced most of the water but there's still water left in puddles

[limber swan]

i guess

[flat summit]

Ohhhhhhh

[limber swan]

im already past the lvl 15 msqs

[flat summit]

So thats what the people meant when we talked to them

Danggg Ok I see why there's no fish now

[remote lintel]

that's how air bubbles work

[limber swan]

so i probably finished call of the sea

[flat summit]

Thank u @slate arrow u beast

[limber swan]

and that unlocks it?

[wintry chasm]

that unlocks the hairdresser quest

[limber swan]

well its not here

[wintry chasm]

Which I'm going to assume you already did and forgot about it

[flat summit]

bruh i aint go to high school i dont know what air bubble mean

[limber swan]

ok

then how do i access it

[remote lintel]

inn

[limber swan]

[wintry chasm]

[twilit arch]

Go to any inn room and use the crystal bell

[limber swan]

[wintry chasm]

[limber swan]

[remote lintel]

[limber swan]

in your inn room there is a bell to summon the hairdresser

[limber swan]

[flat summit]

btw is there an Innroom in the carnival place?

[remote lintel]

no

only major cities

[flat summit]

oh wtf

[wintry chasm]

||Eulmore|| Ronin?

[flat summit]

yeah yeah

[remote lintel]

yes eulmore

[wintry chasm]

Yeah Eulmore doesn't technically count as a city

It's more the "hub"

[flat summit]

bruh there a strip club but no innroom

wtf

[remote lintel]

lol

[wintry chasm]

like Idyllshire and stuff

[keen fable]

titties important ok?

leave it be >:c

[slate arrow]

If you level a crafter or gatherer you can eventually get access to a free airship line between the Crystarium and Eulmore

[flat summit]

oh btw so uh if u want to buy a house u need like 20 mill?

[wintry chasm]

Depends on the size Ronin

[remote lintel]

I think the minimum is several million

for the smallest house

[slate arrow]

5 mil for a small plot, 20 mil for a medium, 50mil for a large

[wintry chasm]

Smalls are like 3-5 mil mediums around 18 mil larges 40-50 mil

[flat summit]

Ah I see

And what are some nice benefits from it?

[remote lintel]

you also have to buy the blueprint or whatever

[flat summit]

besides having own house and wardrobe

[wintry chasm]

you have a house

[remote lintel]

^

pretty much

[wintry chasm]

for FCs you can get an FC workshop and make airships and submarines and do exploratory missions with them

[keen fable]

you have somewhere to live when you marry someone

[wintry chasm]

and make unique items

[flat summit]

what about for apartments?

is it like the sims?

[remote lintel]

apartments are just single rooms

kind of

[flat summit]

oh thats gay

[keen fable]

apartments are what you get when you're poor

[remote lintel]

hey

[flat summit]

So which places have plot available?

[remote lintel]

I know I'm poor :(

[limber swan]

@remote lintel im trying to fi

[slate arrow]

Depends on the server

[flat summit]

Mist only?

[limber swan]

https://gyazo.com/0817ca2d71efb3069bf2ff970d4bca91

[remote lintel]

[little swift]

[limber swan]

[slate arrow]

Only 4 housing zones exist currently

[limber swan]

[wintry chasm]

Have you already accepted it?

[flat summit]

What about the houses in mist?

[limber swan]

I dont think i have

i mean

[flat summit]

They're fc homes?

[slate arrow]

no

[wintry chasm]

you can check in your journal

[limber swan]

based off the screenshot i guess i didnt do it

[remote lintel]

houses can be turned into fc homes

[slate arrow]

it's both

[limber swan]

Ok.

Oh yeah thats a good idea

.

LOL

i did accept it a long time ago

[wintry chasm]

Dummy

xD

[limber swan]

i just forgot about it wow

yes dummy indeed i cant believe this .-.

ive wasted 30 mins due to my ignorance

[flat summit]

Hm so are the rooms in fc homes limited?

Or do they support all members?

[remote lintel]

members of the fc can buy their own room in the FC house

[slate arrow]

FCs have up to 512 members and FC houses can have up to 512 rooms

[flat summit]

oh shit dang!

that crazy!

dang nic

nice

How much do they usually cost?

[slate arrow]

500k, I think?

[flat summit]

ohh

it says 300k

dang thats dope

[mossy current]

300k

[twilit arch]

300k for fc room

[keen fable]

then its 300k

[twilit arch]

500k is for apartment

[lethal mural]

trying to screenshot using one drive and ffxiv says screen shot failed

[remote lintel]

using......one drive?

[keen fable]

💭

[lethal mural]

prntscreen

but one drive is where it's stored

idk how to explain lmao

its just on my computer

[keen fable]

why do you have your ffxiv

nevermind

[lethal mural]

zzz

[keen fable]

try this

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/ap5u02/screenshot_failed/

[lethal mural]

I checked screen shot folder and says it cant be found

[keen fable]

first problem is probably storing it to onedrive

[remote lintel]

why don't u use win + shift + S

[keen fable]

try changing the save folder to anything thats not onedrive

[whole wasp]

or just use the snipping tool

[faint flare]

Snipping tool master race

[keen fable]

ew no

lightshot

[remote lintel]

ew

get outta here

[faint flare]

[keen fable]

if you're not using lightshot, you're living in 2002

[flat summit]

danggg

I can steal shit off my fc

[remote lintel]

i prefer to not need 3rd party software just to take a screenshot

[flat summit]

if it available then i can assume im free to take?

[remote lintel]

but I digest

[keen fable]

i prefer to trust microsoft as little as possible

[remote lintel]

ok that's fair

[keen fable]

also its digress smh

[remote lintel]

@flat summit yes

fcs can set the chest to be free to take

so it's not stealing lmao

[keen fable]

i'd prob ask your fc

before you just start takin stuff

[flat summit]

Bruh there 4 tabs and imma empty this shit

Thank u guys

[keen fable]

thats a great way to get kicked

really fast

[subtle marten]

are there any big sidequests that add to the game in a significant way?

[remote lintel]

yes

[subtle marten]

they removed the i believe i can fly quest, which acknowledged your chocobo

[remote lintel]

the ones that unlock raids

[subtle marten]

oh ok

thats fair

i was moreso referring to big lore quests or those that expand on things you already have

[remote lintel]

the raids ones do have lore

[keen fable]

every feature quest

[subtle marten]

feature quest?

[flat summit]

Yooo these tabs empty now

What penalty i get if I get kicked?

[keen fable]

yes, quests with a blue background

[subtle marten]

oh ok

[flat summit]

Bruh I took everything LOL

[remote lintel]

you lose your fc

[flat summit]

Even some fish meat

[remote lintel]

and have shame

[keen fable]

yeah, you lose your fc, and you are guilty of taking from a guild

kinda rude

ngl

[remote lintel]

^

[keen fable]

actually no

mega rude

that stuff was probably there for a "if you need it, take it" thing

not a "lemme be greedy hehehe" thing

[polar hound]

^ go play single player games if thats the mentality to boot imo lol

[flat summit]

Yo can I sell these shit in the black market or something

[subtle marten]

play legend of zelda for your stealing fetish

[junior wind]

Uh..

[golden crystal]

im a tad confused do you level a character separately from the jobs? Because it says some jobs start at a certain level but the starting classes don't seem to reach those levels.

[remote lintel]

LOL ada

[wintry chasm]

There is no "character level"

[subtle marten]

how many times do you go into someones house and take all their money

[junior wind]

Character level was a 1.0 thing, doesn't exist now

[subtle marten]

or their shit

i broke a chandelier for a heart piece

[wintry chasm]

your class goes all the way up to 80 Arryn

[pseudo reef]

whens the best time to check residental areas to buy a spot?

[junior wind]

Stealing from an FC chest is kind of shitty

[wintry chasm]

It's just once you hit 30 you upgrade it into your job Arryn

[remote lintel]

@golden crystal to UNLOCK a job you need to be a certain level, but the job itself STARTS at another level

[carmine roost]

no shame omegalul

[junior wind]

I know I sure as shit wouldn't invite someone I knew who did that

[flat summit]

Nah bruh I aint give a dam if i like it imma take it

[keen fable]

stealing from an fc chest is like going to a house party, the host saying "here, take as many cookies as you need", and you taking the whole damn plate

[flat summit]

Mans gotta survive

[golden crystal]

😄 👍 thnx

[junior wind]

You... Realize this is a game right?

[flat summit]

Survival of the fittest

Same concept

[subtle marten]

mans doing fucking darwinism in an mmo game

[keen fable]

you do that too many times and you wont be invited to fc's

[remote lintel]

you dont need all that stuff to survive

[junior wind]

So you're basically screwing over someone else's time spent because you feel like it

[pseudo reef]

o.o bad time for a question?

[keen fable]

or, at least, good ones

no, ask

away

[junior wind]

Nah you're good, what's up Ape?

Oh

[pseudo reef]

whens the best time to check residental areas to buy a spot?

[junior wind]

Honestly there is no "best time" outside of major patches that introduce more housing

[remote lintel]

^

[faint flare]

Constantly

[wintry chasm]

Literally whenever Apeugo

[junior wind]

You'd have to check if a house is going down / being sold and then there's a random time to wait

[wintry chasm]

There is no set time when it updates

[mortal current]

If you send a friend request to someone, can they accept it if you yourself are offline at the time?

[junior wind]

I think right now there's no houses being lost outside of people purposely vacating due to the quarantine

[mortal current]

offline*

[keen fable]

should be able to

[junior wind]

You should be able to

[wintry chasm]

^

[mortal current]

'Kay. Thanks.

[junior wind]

I know I've sent out a lot of requests in the past and I'm sure half of them were offline at the time

They should just log in and have a little pop-up on the bottom right telling them about it

[keen fable]

why is there no shield on healthbars when you shield yourself or allies

[wintry chasm]

There should be

as a yellow bar

[keen fable]

will it only show up if i'm not full on health?

[wintry chasm]

If you're at full health the shield bar would be above your HP bar

Oh

[keen fable]

huh.

[wintry chasm]

btw I mean healthbars as in the party list

[keen fable]

i'm using glittering topaz and it's not showing up

[wintry chasm]

not above people's characters

[keen fable]

what if i'm not in a party

[wintry chasm]

I think there is an option to show the party list even if you're by yourself but otherwise I can't think of a way to show the actual shield amount

[keen fable]

interesting

i find it interesting that in cutscenes my character just pulls out the book like its intimidating

[remote lintel]

you can whack enemies with the book if u get close enough I'm pretty sure

[keen fable]

yea you certainly can lol

thats what im most scared of

getting hit in the face with a book

discord is being dumb

[flat summit]

Btw anyone know why they never change the main story roulette and add more quests?

Im afk'ing this shit but I feel bad for teammates

They be working damn hard

[remote lintel]

to help new players

why dont you help then

[flat summit]

How does it help?

Cuz I aint got no time atm

And it hella boring

[remote lintel]

so that new players don't have to wait 5 years just to do the dungeon

[wintry chasm]

so people actually queue for it

[flat summit]

Wdym? @remote lintel

[remote lintel]

nobody wants to do the dungeon after they clear it because it's boring

so if nobody wants to do it

then new players have no one to run it with

so long queue

[flat summit]

Ahh

Oh so u also get paired up together with people who are not doing roulettes and just runnign the quest normally?

[remote lintel]

yes

[flat summit]

dang thats dope

that apply to all roulette?

[remote lintel]

yes

[polar hound]

[flat summit]

danggggg

thank u @remote lintel

[mossy current]

Well not everyone is first time in any roulette

[flat summit]

u enlightne me

yeah i know

but i didnt know not everyone was doing roulete

can new players skip these damn cutscenes tho?

[mossy current]

Nobody can

[flat summit]

i see dang

so we be out here doing community service eevrday like good men and women

[mossy current]

They still won't comm anyone

[remote lintel]

maybe not people who steal

[flat summit]

haha bruh i provide emotional support

by being there in person

btw I got a question about the beginning of shadow bringer

so we were out there having a good day chiling and that damn crystal arch summoned us?>

[remote lintel]

well you were in the middle of a war but yes

[flat summit]

bruhh dang

who he even think he is

Imagine if we had family and kids we cant even say good bye

[remote lintel]

well you can just go back

[oak ice]

Just keep going. It gets explained

[flat summit]

Oh shit

spoilers

[remote lintel]

also he said he didn't know you were in the middle of something

and his world was like

dying

[flat summit]

wtf

what if i was at my relative side and one of my fams dying

[nova umbra]

is there a way to change the orange circle on the map for quests? It's really hard for me to see against the brown map

[slate arrow]

no

[flat summit]

they gon be like malcolm my last words ... oh dang where tf he go

[twilit arch]

you can try fiddling with the colour blind mode

but you can't change it specifically for one thing

[flat summit]

Btw so what happened to the war? get explained later? @remote lintel

I forgot who I was fighting in the beginning

[remote lintel]

it hasn't been explained yet

there's just been a lull while you're gone

[flat summit]

it against them imperials?

[twilit arch]

you know you could just go thru the unending journey/journal to give yourself an overview of things

[remote lintel]

yes

[flat summit]

dang so this shit still gonn continue

[remote lintel]

yes

[little swift]

@flat summit to avoid running the risk of ruining this for other new players take it into #archived-lore-spoilers

[flat summit]

ok my bad

[little swift]

if you have other questions about the plot

[flat summit]

God bless you

[lime sphinx]

Sohm Ai boss, how do we survive comets at Tioman?

[little swift]

they're proximity aoes

[twilit arch]

the comets should be placed at one end of the arena

so you can go to the other end and be safe

[little swift]

based on how far away you are from them

[lime sphinx]

but, arent comets right on top of someone ?

[raw solstice]

once the green marker disappears, the position locks in

[wintry chasm]

[keen fable]

does physick ever get better

[little swift]

no

[stable herald]

Is neoishgard THE gear set to have? or does a melded Crystarium gear beat it?

[wintry chasm]

well if you're arcanist it gets a bit better if you go scholar since it scales off of mind

Crystarium has higher ilvl so it's better pretty much

[stable herald]

yeah, but STAT wise?

since iirc, you can meld stuff in?

[wintry chasm]

higher ilvl pretty much beats any melded stats

[stable herald]

i see

[wintry chasm]

since higher ilvl would include higher mains stats

like strength

[stable herald]

So the best gear is Eden Savage gear?

Or am I mistaken?

[raw solstice]

a mixture of savage and upgraded tome

[wintry chasm]

^

[raw solstice]

since both are i500

(with i505 weapon from 8s, of course)

[wintry chasm]

That's when you start thinking about the sub stats

[fringe inlet]

Which gearset usually ends up being the bis by the end of that expansion

so 5.5 I’d guess in this case

Or 5.3

[wintry chasm]

the 5.4 gear

[stable herald]

But if just a casual, I guess tomestone gear is the best?

[fringe inlet]

is that a fresh set or upgraded from something previous

[wintry chasm]

If I understand correctly what you mean Dura

Fresh set

[raw solstice]

yeah tomestone gear is gonna be best for you

[fringe inlet]

F

Well

[stable herald]

cool. thanks

[fringe inlet]

Assuming we even get 5.4

[raw solstice]

and next big patch they'll open up upgrade items from 24-man raid

[fringe inlet]

[wintry chasm]

technically the relic would be bis at the end of the expansion and that's upgrading all the way through

[pseudo reef]

is there a way to get to lavender beds? the ferry skipper is saying they're out of service :<

[keen fable]

bribe them

[flat summit]

Hey guys

[golden crystal]

does your birthday and god choice matter at all?

[flat summit]

For the latest relic wep in ShB, u just gotta do msq and finish a side quest?

[fringe inlet]

Nope

[remote lintel]

@golden crystal no

[fringe inlet]

To arryn

[remote lintel]

yes ronin

[fringe inlet]

Its like

[flat summit]

@remote lintel and any mats and such needed? Like rare ones?

[golden crystal]

thnx

[fringe inlet]

A 30-40min long sidequest

[remote lintel]

no it's literally the easiest relic

[fringe inlet]

They give you the mats for first weap

[remote lintel]

they just give it to u

[flat summit]

Ah

[fringe inlet]

You can buy extra with tomestones

[flat summit]

I see

[fringe inlet]

1000 per item iirc

4 items per weap

Or smthg like that

[remote lintel]

for your alt classes yes

[flat summit]

Thats for ur alt’s weps right

[remote lintel]

the first relic weapon you get for free

yes

[flat summit]

Ok I see

Hmm I guess they will add more quests later? To make it like the prev ones

Get them glows going

[remote lintel]

they might for the upgrade

[fringe inlet]

How hard is cinder drift compared to eden raids btw?

Both normal/expert vs normal/savage

[iron nexus]

How do you get into Father Collar's Failings in Il Mehg? I

[blissful matrix]

I know the skytool quest hinted at future upgrades havent done any dow/dom yet

[iron nexus]

am having troubling finding the entrance

[oak ice]

Normal is easier than normal, and EX is easier than savage

[keen fable]

normal is easier than normal eh?

[oak ice]

Yep, completely logical

[keen fable]

i c i c

[remote lintel]

what's umbral soul for

[fringe inlet]

Umbral soul as in blm?

Or umbral node

[remote lintel]

blm

[whole wasp]

umbral soul resets your ice phase timer even while out of combat

[remote lintel]

oooooooooooooooo

[whole wasp]

so you use it in dungeons or when bosses go away

to stay in icephase without dropping enochan

[raw solstice]

basically a cozy way to build back up to UI3 with 3 umbral hearts during downtime when you can't hit anything

so when you can hit something again you can just get right back into it

[remote lintel]

but if I'm in fire phase and use it my fire just goes away?

[raw solstice]

you can only use it in UI

[flat summit]

Hey guys

[remote lintel]

ah

[raw solstice]

so if you end in AF you have to transpose, then use it

[flat summit]

Im looking to get an Anemos wep, I already have an antiquated wep

[remote lintel]

gotcha

[flat summit]

The wiki says I have to go to a place called Eureka

[humble birch]

do you have to complete all the MSQs in order to advance into Heavensward?

[flat summit]

How do I get there?

[remote lintel]

@humble birch yes

that's how the story goes

[whole wasp]

@humble birch yes you have to complete ARR to get to HW

[humble birch]

goddamn

I completed ARR

[fringe inlet]

You grab the quest in kugane I believe

[humble birch]

now it's just some weird filler MSQ quests

[raw solstice]

it's in rhalgr's reach

[humble birch]

in Mor Dhona

[whole wasp]

HW to get to SB, SB to get to ShB

[fringe inlet]

Oh

Well it finishes in kugane so close enough

[whole wasp]

everything including patch quests

[humble birch]

NOOOOOOOOO

[whole wasp]

which are the 100 filler quests

F

[humble birch]

100

really

[remote lintel]

the filler quests after ARR were better imo

[whole wasp]

it gets better near the end

[humble birch]

I get crap XP

[fringe inlet]

Isnt it 103

[proud willow]

it's not 100 filler quests I wish people would stop saying that

[fringe inlet]

/113

[proud willow]

plenty of those quests have plot in them, it's just that a lot of them are filler

[humble birch]

4800 aint gonna cut it

[remote lintel]

@humble birch you get no exp because the game didn't go past lvl 50 at that point

[whole wasp]

sorry. not 100 filler. the in between ARR and HW phase has 100 quests

[flat summit]

Anyone know how I can get here

[whole wasp]

only some of them are filler.

most of them are pretty good

[remote lintel]

click it ronin

[fringe inlet]

Find the quest

“We shall call it Eureka”

Rhalgrs

[flat summit]

Ah ok

[fringe inlet]

And just follow along

[random girder]

i got the ramuh ex quest should i fight ramuh ex (i am currently level 55 nin)

[proud willow]

EX fights are almost exclusively done unsynced through Party Finder

[remote lintel]

^

[proud willow]

you shouldn't queue for it normally unless you enjoy suffering and failure

and even then

you still shouldn't

[remote lintel]

I mean if you can find someone to carry you go for it

[fringe inlet]

A single 70 should be able to solo

[proud willow]

Find yourself a group of interested people if you want to team up and do it legitimately synced and/or Minimum Item Level

[keen fable]

what's unsyncing

[remote lintel]

not being boggled down by level sync

[keen fable]

i see

[random girder]

ah ok

[proud willow]

If you choose the Undersized Party option in Duty Finder, you'll be put in immediately instead of joining a queue, and no one in your party will be level synced

[random girder]

im still doing heavensward msq so i barely understand how this game works

having fun though

[remote lintel]

it basically lets lvl 80 people do the fight with all of their powerful gear and all skills @keen fable

no matter what level the fight is

[keen fable]

i c

how do you know if an ability is ogcd or gcd, without having it on your hotbar

[proud willow]

People are very willing to help out with unsynced EX fights if you put them up in Party Finder; you should be able to find help in less than 5 minutes

[remote lintel]

if the cooldown is a few seconds or a long time

[twilit arch]

if its says ability its an ogcd

if it says weaponskill or spell, its a gcd

[keen fable]

gotcha

what about knowing which weaponskills break combos and which ones dont?

[fringe inlet]

All your gcds share the same recast timer

[whole wasp]

smack a dummy and try i guess. theres no easy way to tell afaik

[proud willow]

I think all weaponskills break combos

[keen fable]

there are a few that dont

[whole wasp]

for example samurai iaijutsus are considered weaponskills

but they dont break combo

[proud willow]

ah

[keen fable]

energy drain is the only way to get aetherflow at level 18, right? i'm not missing anything?

[twilit arch]

ya

[keen fable]

lame

that means fester is locked behind a 30s cd

;c

[remote lintel]

20 secs isn't long

neither is 30

[whole wasp]

OG aetherflow is 60 seconds

[keen fable]

who should be using limit break?

[scarlet arrow]

usually melee dps ona boss

healers if everyone is dead

[twilit arch]

ranged/caster lb on a big pull is ideal

[scarlet arrow]

occasionally caster/ranged on big pulls

tanks only for very specific fights

[remote lintel]

what does tank lb even do

I've never seen it ever

buffs everyone?

[twilit arch]

reduce dmg taken

[mossy current]

You've never done A12?

[scarlet arrow]

massive damage resistance for the raid

[whole wasp]

it heavily mitigates damage for all party members

[flat summit]

Hey guys

[remote lintel]

I figured

[flat summit]

How can I get Gerolt in Eureka to start trading with me?

[keen fable]

wowie with fester/energy drain my opener isn't 3 buttons wooo

[mossy current]

Continue the Eureka story

Looking at the screenshot you posted, you need to finish Anemos story

[flat summit]

Ahh I see

[mossy current]

Since you need pazuzu feathers

Which is a level 20 nm

[blissful matrix]

Does fishing supply any other doh than culinary?

[mossy current]

Occasionally Alchemist

[keen fable]

how long do aetherflow stacks last for?

[mossy current]

Until you use them

[oak ice]

Until your level changes

[humble birch]

so um

how long does it take to complete all those quests to heavensward

[mossy current]

Depends on if you want to do the side content

Crystal Tower raids and the like

[humble birch]

just getting to heavensward

fastest possible route

[remote lintel]

took me about 5 days at a speedwalking pace

[humble birch]

goddamn

a whole week of this

[blissful matrix]

Speed....walking?

[remote lintel]

like

speedrunning

[humble birch]

5 DAYS?

[keen fable]

but walking

[remote lintel]

but I wanted to see the story

so I didn't go that fast

so speedwalking

[mossy current]

Going faster than normal, but also enjoying it

[remote lintel]

^

[humble birch]

It took me 4 to beat the main story

[mossy current]

Should take you 3-4 then

[remote lintel]

the second half of ARR isn't as long

[blissful matrix]

If you skip reading and cinematics 3 days tops imo

[mossy current]

I'd recommend to do crystal Tower raids before you leave ARR though

It'll become mandatory in 5.3, so it's best to get it done

[humble birch]

crystal tower?

[remote lintel]

you get it from the mysterious guy in mor dhona

but he's just nero

but mysterious

[mossy current]

shhh

[humble birch]

what level is it?

[remote lintel]

50

[flat summit]

Hey guys so I just unlocked the Getolt blacksmith in Eureka

[humble birch]

it's a raid right?

[flat summit]

I want to make my antiquated weapon have glowing effects

[remote lintel]

it's 3 raids

[humble birch]

so 24 players?

[flat summit]

How can I do that?

[remote lintel]

yes

[mossy current]

Follow the steps and along a certain part of the story, you can upgrade your weapon

[flat summit]

Which steps?

I dont see any more quests

[mossy current]

Follow the story

[flat summit]

Nvm yeah

I gotta level up

Zzz

[humble birch]

should I level a class while doing the 100 msqs?

[mossy current]

Eureka is a slog in every new zone

If you want

[remote lintel]

^

[humble birch]

i've been meaning to get samurai

[mossy current]

Samurai is fun

[remote lintel]

samurai automatically starts at lvl 50 so you don't need to level it

[humble birch]

Really?

[remote lintel]

yes

[humble birch]

doing that right now

[mossy current]

Red Mage as well

Gunbreaker and Dancer start at 60

[crystal bluff]

And drk is 30

[warped nest]

Heavensward jobs starts at lvl 30, but the quest to unlock them requires lvl 50 DoW/M

[fringe inlet]

Watching a sam rotation vid

And the dude keeps mentioning positionals

What positionals

I didnt know sam had any

Nor do the skills say so

[twilit arch]

at 52 when you get the kenki mastery

[fringe inlet]

<80 sam

[twilit arch]

you should reread your skills then

[fringe inlet]

Well fuck

[mossy current]

Dura

Please

[twilit arch]

but either way, Gekko and Kasha get positional combo bonus

[crystal bluff]

Dura pls

[flat summit]

Hey guys how long is it until I finish the latest msq if Im at the beginning of aquarium map?

How many more quests/hours?

[crystal bluff]

Aquarium map?

[flat summit]

Yes

[mossy current]

Getting there

The story is realllly good around there so have fun

[keen fable]

holy cow

you start gaining gil quick

i was hurtin for gil up until 15 when you do the first dungeon

all the sudden i'm at 9.3k

[rough lance]

do i need to lvl up my dol/doh classes for retainers too?

[gilded token]

anyone know if the customer support still closed?

[little swift]

tempest is like the last 5-6 quests

your retainer can only be as high level as your actual classes level

[twilit arch]

if you make your retainer miner/botanist/fisher, yes

since they can only go as high as you are in that class, like channy said

[rough lance]

oh

i thought only applies to dom/dow classes

thanks

[cunning palm]

how do i obtain dawnborne aethersand?

[hardy stirrup]

Is there a fully bald hairstlye?

Saitama kind of bald

I need it for uuuh

M-monk

[twilit arch]

by aetherial reducing bright fire rock, bright lightning rock, peat moss, and furymint. Keep in mind you have to collect these items as a collectable to be able to reduce them@cunning palm

[fringe inlet]

Any tips on farming gil btw

Been working on my doh/dol

And boy do you burn through it fast

[cunning palm]

okay thanks

[fringe inlet]

down nearly 2mill in a week

[mossy current]

Eureka Pyros/Hydatos bunnies, Zonureskin Maps, etc

[rough lance]

which doh or dol class is the easiest to go for

[twilit arch]

Highlander male has a completely bald head, pretty sure they're the only ones

[fringe inlet]

miner/botanist imo

[twilit arch]

Rest of the bald hairstyles have slight hair fuzz to them

[fringe inlet]

Since no crafting involved

[mossy current]

Roe might have a bald head too

But idk

[fringe inlet]

but every guide I’ve seen so far says to go with blacksmith first

[devout salmon]

Where can I start the quest to unlock The Ridorana Lighthouse?

[fringe inlet]

For gearing other classes i guess

[twilit arch]

yes, you're right azalea, roe males do as well

[mossy current]

Have you done Rabanastre?

[devout salmon]

Is that a question for me? Sorry there's a lot going on here currently.

[mossy current]

To be sure, check the Prima Vista

[twilit arch]

yes, you corn

gotta do rabanastre before you can unlock ridorana

[devout salmon]

No I don't think I have.

[twilit arch]

starting quest for the ivalice raids is in kugane

[keen fable]

when do you get your first mount? at grand companies right? when does that unlock?

[mossy current]

You can find the Return to Ivalice quests from a in the Kugane Dori Markets

[devout salmon]

Yeah I went there cause I followed directions online but the quest isn't there. So I guess I have to do Rabanastre.

[twilit arch]

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

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.

[twilit arch]

@keen fable ^

[hardy stirrup]

Is there a bald hairstyle?

[keen fable]

ah okay

[hardy stirrup]

Fully bald

[mossy current]

Electronic, Highlander and Roe males have them

[keen fable]

i was level 20 because of the dungeons and was wondering about that

thank you

[hardy stirrup]

No unlockables then

[burnt wraith]

Hey guys so I bought a mount from the Mog station and when I try summoning it I get told authorized to summon... Is it because I haven't done the question for a chocobo mount yet?

[hardy stirrup]

No way to be bald Au Ra

[mossy current]

Nope

[twilit arch]

correct, nothing unlockable

yes, you have to have your chocobo first before you can use any other mount @burnt wraith

[burnt wraith]

Ty

[keen fable]

if you get the notification that says a piece of gear is noticeably low

what does that mean

like 6lvls below, 7?

[remote lintel]

like you have 20% durability left

[distant plaza]

Is there any problem with Amdapor Keep? It stays there

[keen fable]

ah okay

[mossy current]

It's finding an instance

[remote lintel]

it means that's what you're queued for

[humble birch]

oh boy

[oak ice]

The instance server is full

[humble birch]

I just realised I have no idea how to play samurai

[keen fable]

well duh

[humble birch]

or any melee dps

[keen fable]

you just got it

[twilit arch]

bots like to run amdapor keep

so they use up space

[mossy current]

ggygyu, remove all skills from you hotbars

[remote lintel]

look up a guide

[mossy current]

Read them one by one and put them back on

Best way to figure a layout

[humble birch]

i'm looking at a youtube video

[keen fable]

you know what a good one is?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e-8AdXmEyA

[remote lintel]

that's lvl 80

[keen fable]

very very useful guides

oh is it

LOL

OOPS

wrong video

e.e

[remote lintel]

i can give you the short explanation of samurai ggyu

[velvet reef]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KB8V__BL34

this guys videos are decent

[mossy current]

Still 80

[keen fable]

thats also level 80

[velvet reef]

well what do you need

[keen fable]

he just unlocked samurai

[remote lintel]

he just started

[velvet reef]

oh

[humble birch]

@remote lintel that would be wonderful

My previous class was bard

[nova umbra]

does the weather from the odin fate stay even after he dies?

the weather is "tension" but I don't see the fate in any of the black shroud maps

[mossy current]

You have your Gekko, Kasha and Yukikaze combos that build up sen to do an Iaijutsu actions

[remote lintel]

@humble birch your goal is to fill all those symbols (moon, flower, snowflake) and then do your skill called iaijutsu, iaijutsu changes to a heavy hitting attack once all symbols are filled. you fill your symbols by doing the 3 individual combos

the aoes also fill the symbols

[twilit arch]

no if the weather is up, the fate is still up @nova umbra

also the fate does not appear on the map

you need to get close enough to see it on the mini map

[flat summit]

Hey guys do u need any requirements to imbue materia on ur gear?

[little swift]

@velvet reef i'd be careful of desperius' rotation videos since they often not optimal

!faq sss

[zinc orbit]

Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS

Info

1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk

[flat summit]

And can u transfer them over to ur new gears too?

[little swift]

you can extract the materia from a piece of gear and then stick it somewhere else

[flat summit]

I see

[velvet reef]

@little swift yeah I figured that out lmao

I learned my rotation through a friend

I mean Sam is pretty straight foward

[keen fable]

this is final fantasy afk simulator duty finder

[humble birch]

so the Iajutsu thing is just a heavy attack right?

[keen fable]

i like it

[remote lintel]

yes

it changes once all symbols are filled

[little swift]

if anything for rotations use the balance for their mathed out resources

[remote lintel]

or depending on how many symbols you have

[little swift]

1 sen is dot

2 sen is AoE

3 sen unga bunga big number single target

[remote lintel]

^

[keen fable]

so do you want to do 1 then 3? for dot and unga bunga on a boss

or just 3

[little swift]

you want to upkeep dot on boss

yes

its free damage

[mossy current]

You wanna unga bunga as many times as you can, basically, while keeping up the dot

[remote lintel]

"you want to unga bunga as many times as you can"

[humble birch]

i see

[remote lintel]

thats basically this game

[humble birch]

so 3 symbols

[keen fable]

just unga bunga

[humble birch]

unga bunga the boss

step 4: profit

[keen fable]

no

[remote lintel]

and apply dot

[keen fable]

1 symbol

apply dot

[mossy current]

Keep up buffs

[keen fable]

then 3 symbols

[humble birch]

ah okay

[keen fable]

then profit

[remote lintel]

and you have buffs and stuff too

[keen fable]

does 3 dots do more damage than 1 unga bunga?

[remote lintel]

you can't stack them

[mossy current]

The skill speed buff is preferred to be out on first, but if you're starting, either one first work fine

[keen fable]

given that they run their full length

[humble birch]

so how exactly do combos work

this is my first dps melee

[remote lintel]

read which skills combo others

[mossy current]

Do hall of novice if you have never worked with a melee

[humble birch]

and i got this game like 4 days ago don't judge

[whole wasp]

which melee are you using?

[humble birch]

Samurai

[remote lintel]

sam

[keen fable]

sam

[mossy current]

sam

[keen fable]

jinx

[whole wasp]

ok so lets look at yukikaze

!action yukikaze

[zinc orbit]

**Yukikaze** : lvl 50 SAM (2.5 second cooldown)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Combo Action: Hakaze
Combo Potency: 360 Combo Bonus: Increases Kenki Gauge by

Powered by XIVAPI

[whole wasp]

it says there combo action:hakaze

so using hakaze then yukikaze afterwards

will make yukikaze do everything under the combo section

[humble birch]

oooh

okay

[whole wasp]

which is
combo potency: 360
+
combo action: increase kenki

if you dont use hakaze before using yukikaze

[sleek hull]

Quickie since googles not really helping, are retainers account-wide or assigned on a character by character basis?

[whole wasp]

it only does 100 potency

[remote lintel]

@sleek hull character

[humble birch]

so if I use combos

I always open up with a hakaze

[whole wasp]

yup

[humble birch]

then go whatever is next?

[mossy current]

Nothing is after Yuki

[whole wasp]

you have 3 choices since 3 actions combo after hakaze

[sleek hull]

Aite thanks, and the limit of 2 retainers is assumably reset per character also

[whole wasp]

so
hakaze -> yukikaze
Hakaze -> jinpu -> gekko
hakaze -> shifu -> kasha

[mossy current]

If you're new to melees, I'd recommend Red Mage

[whole wasp]

SAM just alternates between these 3 over and over

[remote lintel]

and the aoes

[mossy current]

Apply buffs before AoEs

[whole wasp]

ah yes. the AoE weaponskills also have combos

[mossy current]

The AoE help maintain the buff

[stark bone]

Hello can anyone help me through amdapor keep? I keep getting stuck in match-making

[humble birch]

okay I think I get the general idea

[halcyon knoll]

what legs are those?

for the Miqote, obviously

[flat summit]

Hey guys

How to put materia in my map?

Where to find the mendors?
