200% is the combined between armory and preferred server
But as I said, it's not too bad if you don't have it
So if you transfer, keep in mind that it costs money
^expected
!faq hairstyle
!maint
I dunno man. Getting 300% instead of 150 is a pretty big difference. But if you already have toons it's irrelevant
It's massive if you wanna level multiple jobs
@forest lark quick reminder to use #kupo-bot-spam if you just want to check maintenance times
I had 2 50s on my old char I started fresh on a preferred server and I don't regret it at all
Should I still be doing my dragoon rotation for multiple enemies if Iβm only level 64 and donβt have the final skill to complete the rotation?
Yes
Any more than 3 mobs right?
When you are lvl 10, do you not do your single target rotation because you don't have the last few steps in your combo?
!action Doom Spike
Yeah should be 3+
did expert ever give stellaclusters on need?
Yeah I have doom spoke and sonic thrust but not coerthan torment to complete the rotation
No
Do it anyway
Your doom spike alone is 510 potency
When it hits exactly 3 enemies
!action Sonic Thrust
Do your AOE rotation even when it is not complete
Yeah man I even spam just doom spike with adds lol
As mentioned if you look at the potency
It's like spamming your 3rd combo
Without having to do the pre actions
Tldr: don't think about coerthan torment until you get it, just do your AOE rotation on 3 or more enemies
(the math might even work out for 2 enemies too)
The first two step in the combo
No I mean your abilities to get your combo going
I think it is True Thrust - something - Full Thrust
Heavy thrust was mixed into your DoT combo
Combined with Disembowel now
!action disembowel
Full Thrust might have very high single target potency, but you need to do True and Vorpal to get there, so when you average it out to 3 skill cast, you still want to do your AOE rotation, even at lvl 40, when it is just repeat Doom Spike
where do i grab things to get seals from? i assume i'm going to need a lot to rank up to first flame lieutenant
You can do your weekly challenge log and your roulette to get some GC seals
i did my roulette
but i just do the challenge log and that's how i'll get the majority of my seals?
I tend to cap mine just playing normally lol
before sergeant second class, do your grand company hunting log (you'll need to do it any way for promotions), fates or grand company leves
i want a specific glamour set, thats why i'm specifically going for it
after sergeant second class, turn in old dungeon gear you don't need/want
Roulettes, leveling, fates etc (fates I'm not sure on)
ah okay
i havent reached the cooking part yet, but do the recipes have any real life correlations, or it more like 7 legs of hornswaggle, 2 teaspoons of dragon spit, and 2 tickles of slanbagery?
how much are the dungeon gear worth?
Depends on level
Anywhere between a few hundred to upwards of 2 thousand
@fallen perch cul recipes do lean more on real world stuff, though some things are in-game appropriate
Give or take
But lv80 gear is like 1.5k or so
what about level 20-30 gear
Or Loagthan for goat/sheep
Few hundred
Hundreds
are spices a focus on cooking?
but most of the recipes are real world inspired or are real world recipes
should i be saving the dungeon gear that i'm getting then?
You don't have to, but you can
A few spices here and there
Trust me
thank you so very much
Nice, I think i need 12k for my next rank up never knew about the dungeon gear thing
You will get GC seals by the truck load eventually
ye but i hate looking like an idiot
At higher level, gear turn in is like 1k seals per item
Before I log off in a safe area, should I switch to my secondary class Iβm leveling up for the benefits? Or is it charecter wife?
Yeah I cap out every second day or so just playing
Doesn't matter
At lower levels it's much smaller though
Doesn't matter, Conbon
my suggestion for seal farming would be need/greed dungeon gear you get and then once you get sergeant second class turn in everything
Rested xp is shared
even at lower levels, it may not be much but it'll go a ways towards getting your seals
i wish i wouldnt have been discarding the dungeon gear now ;/
It's fine, Dark
its not the end of the world
Looking silly is the norm for early levels
the main thing to focus on, right now, is getting your promos
and doing your gc hunting log
If you are so worry about look, you can spend real money on mogstation gear, or get gears from Hall of Novice for glamours
as you get higher in lvl, the amount of seals from those higher lvl dungeon gear will eclipse the seals you lost from throwing away the low lvl dungeon gear
Or depending on your level, some of the dungeons has nice looking gear too
im not so much worried about look as much as i really want that glamour set
it looks really cool
in the hunting log, it appears that some of these creatures are way above my level
Haven't been working on your GC rank, @solemn delta?
No left the seals capped for like a week lol
Then I found out about Squadrons!
Question
Very few are "log in for 2 hours and I am done for the week "
so to recap, dungeons, fates, gc hunting log, and challenge log
is there easy way of knowing where I can get side quest of respective level to mine?
maybe quest database somewhere or smth
so I would know in what location side quests of my level are
he's unlocked the challenge log, yes/
or should I just grind dungeons for level?
Dungeons for levels
Sidw quests arw primarily lore
Side quests don't offer much XP until SB/ShB
You are free to do side quests on the side while waiting for queue
Open your Duty finder
Daily roulettes
No
Roulettes have an extra daily bonus every day
interesting, thanks, I'll try
Dungeons only give worthwhile exp when they're close to your level
Roulette will adjust the bonus so it is always worth while to do
Even when the roulette put you in super low level dungeon
Main story quest roulette and leveling are 2 of the best ones
Very high exp for your level
At low level, I suggest doing guildhest roulette a few times (either 3 or 5) to get the weekly exp bonus from challenge log
But do them all. All worth it early on.
Eventually guildheist becomes void but that's for later
what is guildheist
Basically tutorial things
Levelling roulette yes
Yes
Once a day
Don't worry about Adventurer in Need (Healer)
I would level up a little first! But yes. The higher you are the better it is
Roulettes are great at any level
@solemn delta what you mean I would level up a little, thats what I'm asking, prefered way to level up since side quests seem to be not recommended
how high you are when you queue is irrelevant, the bonus from it scales
Yes they are but better the higher you are.....
Ignore me for now Zero its not important atm
If your close to the end of 77 absofuckinglutely lol
Yeah that's why I said ignore what I said for now. But do your guildheists you'll get a roulette for that top
Too*
I found the heists fun too first time around
@shell arch some supplement info: levelling roulette will yield bonus exp in such a way that it is like doing a dungeon matching your current level + big chunk bonus exp.
There are 3 cases where it doesn't give a big chunk of exp: 4 player Garuda, Ifrit, and Titan. These contents are in leveling roulette as they are 4 players only but they don't give good roulette bonus because they don't take a long as a normal dungeon
do supply and delivery missions come at a certain rank?
supply and provisioning missions are available the moment you join, but you need to have crafting/gatherers unlocked to receive those missions
you get one mission per crafter/gatherer a day
appropriate to the lvl range of that crafter/gatherer
They must be rare?
@solemn delta yeah, it is 3 "dungeon" in a list of 40-ish
If I was 79 I would legit take a 30 min ban if I got them lol π
xp is xp
But 11m beats 5 lol
Get it done and you can move along to other contents
Anyone willing to help lvl my Blue?
I'm just guessing the 5 I haven't done any of those primals in leveling roulette yet
Hi I just got ffxiv today and I wanted to ask, character restriction in servers change daily? I wanted to create my toon in Siren in the morning the server was good to create it but now it doesnt let me
!faq temporarylock
You'll probably be better off attempting to make a character around midnight
...
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.
Wait, tonight has a maintenance
Kk ty so much
@solemn delta speaking of servers, kind of a long shot but you wouldnt happen to know the server locations ?
oh that makes so much sense cuz i'm in NA atm from EU and the ping is off the charts LMAO
had it been east coast shit woulda been different 
Then people in Australia will complaint that NA ping is crap
yeah, NA is cali. EU is germany
No idea but I believe it's UK due to ping that my friends get compared to my German pal. But that's about all I can say
idr JP
Weird?
big country
JP is probably just somewhere in JP
Maybe he has crap Internet haha
is it?
Is what??
It is the route your data packet take
@mossy current were you talking to me when you said is it? Confused
I was talking to lchronos
Ah

@solemn delta if you wouldn't mind asking some further questions cuz i don't know where else to go really lol, Moogle is the one known for having many french but my friend who played on Odin that specifically moved to NA cuz always meeting french in roulettes is not on the same data centre as Moogle? you got any experience with that?
!help
Match making is done on Data Center level
Moogle is in Chaos and Odin is not in Chaos
Oop
@limber pilot #kupo-bot-spam
Wrong chat
Please don't use command here
facet gear is better than the scrip gear right?
I know
Only if you meld them
melded facet, yes
Thought I was in bot spam already
Moogle is in Chaos and Odin is not in Chaos
@restive willow that is physically not possible
Odin is in Light
is there anyway to increase overmeld chances? 22% is kinda low to justify losing the VIII materia
Nope, gamble the 22 percent, Bear
^
@surreal yarrow nope
Light seems to be overwhelmingly English speaking
They're both pretty much predominately english
Can Odin match make to Moggle?
no
no
Then why?
My mates on moogle say its pretty Frenchy lol
why what
I read your statement wrong I guess
@solemn delta yeah we're trying to avoid that but if we're always matchmade with french on Odin, moving to Ragnarok seems just as bad? 
Moogle has a high FR community sure but Chaos is still predominately EN speaking
Somehow I read it as "chaos player match made with Odin player"
ah yes that would not be physically possible, correct ^
You can turn off your language thingy on your match making
french people will still use english to match with you
yeah
Hmm well Twintania I've only encountered like a handful of other language talkers in 16.5 days play time?
Dunno if that helps
interesting, is that your current main world?
Yes
why'd you choose it?
Preferred
oh i see
but this makes me wonder
cuz you're on Light
and your experience is mostly UK people when dungeoneering
right
I could stay on twintania tbh. The only thing that is negative about visiting another world is no FC buffz
Well EU
but yes I would say mostly UK
#general-discussion guys
Not that a German or French person can't talk perfect English but still
It's help for his server choice?
because my friend who keeps encountering french is in saudi arabia so i'm thinking what if its matchmaking between the distance of the players
cuz im in sweden and didnt have french problems in ragnarok
going to have to agree, that this is honestly probably better in #general-discussion as its getting pretty discussiony or take to DMs but honestly though
you're going to find a mix bag of languages on both EU datacenters
i find it pretty hard to believe you were always matched with FR players and just simply didn't notice the non FR players π€·ββοΈ
But if you're for some reason really against playing with FR, then transfer to a server on Chaos
but my friend was on light and wanted to move cuz french people 24/7
U wanna play with english people? Is that it?
Fresh is good man
They invented the kiss
i dont mind much, my friend does
And french girls r beautiful
Also food
Not to mention the country itself
U guys play on ragnarok?
We can be daily buddies
Everyday buddies
nah not interested
blm gcd speed on average, I'd like to know
Whatever you're comfy with
depending on what part of your rotation
And SpS
your skill speed is almost always with your spell speed
Some like to stack the hell out of sps in BLM sometimes
cough
But it depends on what you like
Ello
Can I play with my friend if Iβm on Crystal and heβs on Aether
no
No
you need to be on the same data center as each other
Hi how long will congestion open up?
Do we have a anima light tracker?
no @young fjord
@real charm if you're trying to get into a server that's currently locked to new character creation, wait until quieter hours to do so or just choose a different server
So night time would be good?
ye, late night/early morning
Aight thank you
cast return
Oh my it took me while to get there
teleport to nearest aetheryte
how do you differentiate dungeon gear from other gear
Dungeon gear is generally green or pink
oh ok
Neither color are exclusive to dungeon gear, but it is a good enough start
Pink is actually exclusive to dungeons now, since the stuff from Heavensward is no longer obtainable
hi there ! regarding stormblood treasure hunt, did they remove The Lost Canals of Uznair ? or is there prerequisite ? out of 12 gazelleskin map, we got 7 shifting one, no lost
rng is rng is rng
You got RnG screwed
lost canals are still a thing
Umm when are 24 raid going to become available, Im level 78 and I havent unlocked any yet?
You missed like 3 tiers of them
You can unlock the first alliance raid at level 50
Is...that a Babar pfp?
Is it part of msq?

crystal tower starts in mor dhona, shadows of mhch in ishgard, and return to ivalice in kugane
CT is going to be moved to MSQ sometime in June or July though, right?
Just required
Oh no wonder I keep expecting it from msq lol
no, its going to be required
I've read that Diadem is good for levelling gatherers but how do I know what to gather for my level? (54)
as a White Mage should I be focusing on Skill Speed for my materia?
No
I'd like to be able to gather something and turn it in really, as my crafters are already levelled up.
Piety to comfort (usually close to 0) > Crit > Dh or det > det> sps > excess piety
Just use location skill and gather what you can
Diadem is meh xp
Unless you use food and manuals
I should be able to hit 460 iLvl sometime tomorrow
Yeah. I have enough seals for manuals really as my mains are GNB/SCH.
So I just want to learn what I should mine and craft.
If your crafters are already max, then you should use leves/collectables tbh unless you're gathering specifically for your crafters to do restoration turn ins
I've not done restoration yet. That would be good.
then i'd gather the lvl 80 stuff if you can do so easily
not the artisan stuff, mind, as the expert recipes aren't really worth crafting unless you're aiming for ranking (which is currently closed)
Miner is only level 57 though. I guess that's why I'm wondering what I should gather. I've opened Diadem but I really don't know how it works.
I might be overthinking it but a lot of the nodes seemed too low level for XP or too high level to farm efficiently.
diadem is there for you to grind on to supply your crafters
how do i join the novice network?
which is why i would personally recommend, since you've got max crafters already, to just level your gatherers thru leves/collectables until you're 80 and then come back and gather lv 80 stuff for your restoration turn ins since it'll be easier to gather those then
you need to be invited by a mentor, easiest way to get an invite is to shout in a major city like limsa @naive matrix
OK, I understand. Thanks Kael.
so if you have every doh/dol class, you should get 11 quests per day from the gc, right?
one per
yes
ah i probably wont get there so fast at lvl 1
what command mission to spam until level 57? i am trying sohm AI but i keep getting 1 shot by the 2nd boss (Myath). AI isnt quick enough to react. seems almost impossible to do consistently
Well you can start in limsa if you pick maradur or arcanist
Anyone know where we can get Ready pose?
Just shout for a network invite in your starting city
@faint flare is that for meV
No
@flat summit donβt recall a pose by that name. Do you have a picture of it?
No such emote.
You mean the battle stance emote?
No the Ready
There is no emote called ready
But battle stance says readies for battle
In the chat log
Thatβs just having your weapon out and then using /cpose to have an idle stance
Change pose, and should be a default
The only thing you need if you're looking for a certain one is to have the job unlocked and equipped
are there any tips for getting into the doh/dol? should i just level them all at the same time?
Good to keep crafters somewhat near each other in level so they can share gear and reduce armoury space bloat

can i just drop my blue level 50 items since they cant be sold or desynthesized. i can just buy them back from calamity salvager?
@obsidian patio
It works in a way
I keep my wep over the shoulder
But I dont uh
Have this pose
In the right
That's the female pose
The poses are also gender specific
can you hide quests from appearing on the list below your map
certain quests
like if i go grab all the class quests, but dont want them all showing up
how? i can't see anything showing an option
ah
i see
thank you
what does the box being lit up mean?
it appears the same as if its not lit
Anyone know why I can't turn my Skybuilder's Rock Salt into the Grade 2?
Different items. The first ones were for a previous phase.
You get phase 2 items from the diadem
Isn't ring of novice unique
That ring is βuniqueβ meaning you can only have one on your person.
nevermind
does a race have any effect on gameplay?
Close to none
no
Choose freely
How's NINs viability
It's fun
!faq meta
You should consider race an entirely cosmetic choice.
All classes are fully viable and well-balanced.
I just got freeze as BLM and googling when I should use it I found this https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/d1r25r/blm_rotations_for_all_levels/ezpj5a1/
is this legit?
38 votes and 18 comments so far on Reddit
!faq blmleveling
Yes
if it looks like that, yes
thanks
yeah, looks like same thing
Hi, new player. Iβm at the sastasha story quest. Do I need a party to continue?
yes
Ok
Patron Deity, effects gameplay?
nope
Hey guys, how big is the difficulty difference between ultimate coil or bahamut and turn 4 final coil?
I read that u can get the same shinies from t4 final coil
much bigger
final coil's weapon does not have the same glow as ultimate's
just has the same base model
final coil can be easily unsync'd
ultimate cannot
If I wanted to make another class would it be easier to level it on an alt or my existing character?
your existing character
you get a bonus to exp when you're on a job below your current highest for combat jobs, plus you'll have a bunch of things already unlocked
making an alt means you have to go thru the entire main scenario quest, again
and unlock everything, again
So should I just do dungeons to level?
rough alt lvl guide is 1-15 do hunting log/fates/palace of the dead. For tanks/healers 15+: do your daily leveling roulette (add main scenario/alliance roulette at 50+), then highest level dungeon spam (barring 50/60/70, do the 47/59/69 dungeons instead).
For dps: do roulettes if you can stand the queue times, then palace of the dead for 1-60, heaven on high for 61-70, 70+ dungeons with normal ppl if decent queue times/do fates/beast tribe dailies, dungeons with trust if not.
For dps, if you really don't like potd/hoh, can do fates/beast tribe/hunt bills while waiting in queue for dungeons
Thanks!
Duty action?
And can u use it on anyone?
I didnt know such a thing existed wtf
I just saw this somewhere wtf
How to do it?
<@&473626701947994134>
Play dead + push-up emotes
Oh its not a real intimate emote?
no
This is a pg13 game. 
But wow I didnt know about the push up enote, thats dope how to get it?
10 dungeons with the squadron
Complete 10 grand company squadron missions
Rank up in your GC until it prompts you to make one
does road to 70 apply to doh/dol, or just dom/dow
Road to 70 applies to all experience
Every class benefits from it if theyβre below 70
cool cool
Can I be ur frend? I got no frends in the game and would like to make one in same server
@oak ice
Yeah it was kinda bonkers leveling next to people who just got Road to 70 on the server I started a week earlier on
Uhh, sure, but I'm not online to accept anything
hey, would it work if I bought a cdkey for shadowbringers? im very new to the game and I noticed the sale just passed
would what work
Well Ive never bought from cdkeys
if you're purchasing from a third party, there is no guarantee that it will work, no
I wouldnβt risk third party.
please don't buy from third party
Louisoix
alright then I wont
not even the super reputable places like Humble Bundle or whatev
Ok no prob, we still frends and can play everyday
very recommended you purchase these things from se or steam
its like 15$ but I dont want to risk it
i guess ill just wait for the next sale if there is one
so you can either wait till the next one or buy it from the online store
@brazen edge u on pc or ps4?
you have another year before the next expac comes out
pc
so it's not expensive to buy everything even if just for $60
the only time i won't recommend buying Shadowbringer is if we are 4-6 weeks away from 6.0
^
yeah its just like, ive hit the point in the game where I can't level up until I get heavensward for my class
even 2-3 months before, i will still say buy Shadowbringers if you have finished ARR
i would recommend purchasing shadowbringers
the way most people don't think about it, but should
is equate the amount of time spent to dollar spent
if you spent 400 hours in a game that cost 60
well
you damn sure got your moneys worth
it can be more if you do the grindy stuff
rather, if you spend 2, maybe not
doesnt buying shadowbringers give me the older DLC as well?
yes
yes
that's how they handle expansion
depending on which one you buy
if and when 6.0 comes out, it will too include Heavensward, Stormblood, and Shadowbringers
if you've bought the base game and gotten to 50
you've already gotten $60 worth
imo, of course
then i would buy shadowbringers, how many hours do you have in the game?
last time I checked, around 60-65?
so even if you bought shadowbringers and didnt touch it
that's still $1/hour
which is pretty good value when you consider everything else you buy in day to day life
ignoring the long ARR quest chain, each individual expansion has roughly the same amount of content as base game
There's still membership I'd need to pay for though
I haven't touched that yet since base game gave me 30 days
nope
I dont think it does sadly
only Complete Edition do, because it has Starter Edition
hmm
mine did
ooh
okay
well either way, the subscription is fairly low as long as you play once a month
going back to subscription, you can always just pause your sub and come back later
you can get by with just subbing 1-2 month per year if you want to go that low
its an absurd amount of content for $60
the game lets returning players catch up relatively quickly
again, this is your choice to make
hmm yeah this is really tough
thank you guys
yeppers
my friend told me to just train another class to 50, but I'm too nervous to touch healer and tank
I just don't want to make any mistakes during dungeons
the whole game is a long tutorial
the game does a good job at making sure you arent overwhelmed
if you are worried, you can try tanking first
it is like DPS, but you just need to make sure you use defensive skills proactively
making a mistake in a dungeon is extremely forgiving while leveling, and its designed that way so you can learn
/\
Tanks have it super easy IMO.
Most dungeons are a straight line besides a few in the base game.
Most mechanics in dungeons rarely are for the tank specifically besides tank busters, which donβt hit hard in dungeons.
Holding onto mobs is super easy with tank stance.
does the story ever get good in the free trial?
Question. Where do people go and learn to play songs on bard? I have the skill but Not sure where to start in finding out where to look for the tabs???
Just be sure to tell the party youβre new and they shouldnt expect big pulls
It ends on probably the biggest twist ever
thank you
@weak cradle actions and traits > Performance and pick an instrument.
i havent finished it yet, but i've enjoyed it so far
I've started marauder so i might continue now, thanks :)
And a button by the βkeyboardβ lets you practice on a few in game songs
Ooohhh
yeah, most dungeons pre30 even dont allow big pulls
i think sastasha has one part where you can
And for custom ones I gotta find out?
but the other mobs pacts will reset
Yeah thatβs mostly trying to find sheet music and playing that
Or using third party programs to play MIDI files
Is there any difference when u log out in region and when u log out at inn?
Sastasha is a bunch of boss to boss pulls if the tank doesn't have level 1 gear
If by region you mean a sanctuary then no difference as both will generate rested experience
You get a cute login animation if you log out in an inn
If you log out in an inn you get a little cutscene when you log out too
But if you mean logging out in the middle of nowhere where it prompts a timer then you wonβt generate rested exp
is there a bank?
Your retainers
Or saddlebag
saddlebags just stores inventory though
i have lots of materials i've gathered, and nothing to do with them
not actual gil
True
So only animation, nothing regarding xp?
Nothing that logging out in a general town won't give
Oh ok then thx
If there is a small crescent π moon symbol next to your exp bar, you are in a sanctuary and will accrue bonus exp while logged out.
Basically if youβre in any city, or any overworld settlement with an aetheryte.

@keen fable if youβve completed the level 17 main story quest βThe Scions of the Seventh Dawnβ you have access to retainers and can create two. There is no cost or upkeep.
Itβs not necessary to have more.
I got 4, most useful harem ever
You can get along just fine on two unless you hoard a lot of crafting materials/glamour/housing items
THANKS Wynne, I appreciate you man
and chocobo saddlebag
oki
guys can i ask act questions
not all mounts are account-wide so care to read them
I think the only character specific ones are the Red/White magitek?
Canβt immediately remember others
what is blue mage, and why does everyone disregard it
The previous holiday mounts are also single character
Blue Mage is side content for all intent and purposes.
Blue mage is a βlimitedβ class which has a lower level cap and cannot queue for content normally through the duty finder.
the plugin doesnt record anything
why? what's the point of having a class that cant que for stuff
i tried admin and firewall
@leaden ginkgo recommend going to the plugin's website for support on it
It has its own sorta content and objectives
from what ive seen people like to use blue mage to die in major cities
i see
does anyone have the link for the video that shows how to make the fancy hotbar for switching classes
The ones that hide themselves? Thereβs a pin for it in #protips-and-ui
ah, sweet
thank you
how do people turn off empty spaces in hotbars
like, if nothing is there, it doesn't show up
its on character config>hotbar settings>hdie unassigned slots
Hey guys does the fancy hotbar only work for keyboard or also controller?
Fancy hotbar? You mean this?
i think they meant the collapsible hotbars
The crossbar?
oof that is hideous
Oh, collapsible...pretty sure that's keyboard only since you would have to mouse to it
you can place your hotbars near your cross hotbar to create the illusion, but you still need to manually click the buttons
But you can add it to your ui regardless
does astro have aoe damage
!action Gravity
oo awesome!
Theirs has the advantage of not needing to be right by the monsters
Looking at the level, most likely.
i heard astro is shit now?
no
they hate how the cards something something
how their card works is changed
Cards are just a lot simpler than what people like how they were
ohh i see
less RNG = more consistency = less big moments
Each one used to do a different thing but it boiled down to always trying to get a specific combination for biggest damage boost
it is more consistent now, but you lose the big moments where you draw the best combination
oh damn
what happens when an ishgard fate is happening during maintenance?
it's automatically failed, probably
nothing, i would assume
Is there any way I can stop mount music from replacing area music?
system config > sound settings > untick play music when mounted

what is allowances in the journal
they're for leve quests
you have to use 1 allowance to pick up a leve quest. Leves being basically timed quests (For combat and botanist/miner) that have you do specific objectives. Crafting/fisher leves are not timed, but have you bring specific items to an npc
do they regenerate over time?
yep, you get 3 every 12 hrs for a total of 6 every 24hrs
oki
How do I get a hotbar to stay when I change classes?
character config -> hotbars -> sharing
Okay thank you
Is their a website that shows average value of items
I donβt wanna over or undersell
at what point should i get into crafting?
Whenever you want
@midnight slate Doubtful. Each server its own economy and prices fluctuate. Best you can do is see what's already posted and check sale history.
Ok thanks
@fickle dragon I'm just finishing up HW and have dabbled a little into crafting. It seems to me until endgame crafting will have to be just for the fun of it. I've been leveling too fast through the story to even think of crafting gear or weapons.
Where can I sell thanalan top soil?
I think the market board would be the best place.
Ugh they never buy my stuff on MB
I've heard top soil sells well but haven't tried to myself.
Iβll check to lowest price and go under it
How do I install nexus mods and get them to work?
How do you know how much xp a craft is going to give?

Hey guys
Which materia should I go for as dark knight?
Maybe skill speed?
Or crit rate?
Uh i tried skill speed
But it feels the same :3
stats are based on tiers
if you didn't put enough to hit the next tier your melding was irrelevant
!faq stats
What does that mean?
Your meld priotry
If you're not at the skill speed tier, you meld that
Otherwise go crit
If you cant crit, you go dh
And so on
Yes
That's unnecessarily fast
But it doesnt even make a diff
it does
Or does it only affect ogcd?
It does in the long term
It affects weapon skill speed
As your as gcds can line up differently
Is it the animation or the cooldowns?
cool down
Weaponskill
And depending on kill times, more sks can get more GCDs in the fight
1523 is the breakpoint
Drk requires a certain amount to hit 5 blood spillers under delirium and blood weapon
doesn't matter
My bad
More sks over the requirement are wasted
If you have decent ping, you can get by with 2.41
If you beat ARR then get a "Tales of Adventure: A Realm Reborn" (Story skip), does that skip the 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4,2.5, 2.55 quests and put you right at the start of Heavensward?
Yes
Yes
Ty
Cirka, yes
Regardless where you are
Itβs more that having more SkS than needed provides a minimal gain to damage
What is 2.41?
the patches
Your gcd
oh
Ohhh
2.41s global cooldown
I thought it was 2.5
it's the seconds
2.41 is 1218 sks
Oh wait nvm im dumb
Its 2.5 at base
Basically you get to use a Weaponskill every 2.41s
Sks reduces it
It does
but it does
Ants die faster than that
In a 11m fight
This is for killing bosses
You xan get you a few more gcds in fights
Not for you to kill lvl 5 enemies
The 0.1 difference also covers for ping, delay, down time
What about direct hit?
Hmm I see
Dark knight without any materias was already fast enough for me
Maybe samurai would need but then it has the buff
You'll lose sks as you change gear
Even Samurai has tiers you want to hit
Yeah the base stats right
different gear gives you different amount of sks
My current wep has no sks at all
SAM is even stricter in their SkS for optimal rotation flow
its on some of your other pieces as well
Kk
idk if this would be the right math, but would an example be like, 60(seconds)/2.5(gcd)*11mins putting you at 264 GCD's over 11 mins be right when compareing to 2.41 inplace of 2.5 putting you at 273 GCD's over 11 mins?
Ohh i see what chu mean
My torso gives 400 strength
And legs give like idk
200? 300?
It is beyond just doing 10 more weapon skill in a fight
and when you add it up it goes into your stats
You need to think about alignment
Dang really
that you see in your profile
And resource gain
Itβs also how having enough SkS lets you fit in a 5th GCD for stuff like Inner Release and Delirium
yet its interesting that WAR wants more sks than DRK does

Has to do with Upheaval IIRC
it does
Is there any materia thay increase ur defense?
tenacity
Oh thats dope
Just follow the guides
3k tenacity for 10% reduction
Oh I forgot
Regardless of the jobs, it is almost always hit sks/sps to a tier then meld for damage output
Its really not worth it
It doesnt have a much value per point
Yeah yeah
didnt there used to be an achievement that gave you a chocobo keeper shirt?
Imma just check guide u shared
You're still gonna use defensive cooldowns the same way and healers will heal you the same way
Tenacity is poor man determination at best
Crit rate doesn't have tier
No cause you just get as much as you can
More is just more
After getting the skill speed tier you want
What job should i level up? Ninja, Scholar, Warrior, or Black Mage?
Only skill speed and spell speed has tiers
Extract is spiritbond related
Batacho, whichever look cool to you
Removing materia is removing materia thats already in it
@faint quest not sure
It is not stat adjustment of existing stat on your gear
All of them looks cool. Ninja is useful, Scholar looks rewarding, Warrior sounds cool, and Black mage because explosions
Do them all
