The base gamr
weary dock
patch 2.0 through 2.55 content; the base game before Heavensward.
twilit arch
you're close to the end of 2.0
stable hinge
Meh at least theres more stuff to do
twilit arch
but you still have the 2.1-2.55 patch msq to do
livid oriole
currently almost level 30, the msq has noticably decreased in quality and the last couple questlines have been really boring tbh
does it get better before the expansions?
twilit arch
yes
stable hinge
I noticed that recently all my MSQ has been running up and down the same map
ivory iris
For the Fate Chain bosses (the tempest one), I know that it has a cooldown, is there anyway to tell how long it will be until I can activate that fate again? Because just doing the chain isn't activating it atm
twilit arch
there's definitely some downs before the expansion, but there are ups. particularly the 2.3-2.55 main scenario quests are a notable step up in quality
stable hinge
with the dragons, inquisitor and the houses bit
faint flare
Not in game
livid oriole
what levels are the 2.3 - 2.55 at
ivory iris
how long is the cooldown for the fate boss
wintry chasm
50

50
weary dock
All 50, mopi.
wintry chasm
all the patch quests are 50

Is there nothing I can do if my gear breaks mid-duty???
wintry chasm
Not unless you have crafting leveled up
faint flare
Not unless you levelled crafters
livid oriole
oh
wintry chasm
Otherwise you could repair in the duty
stable hinge
I still need to chase down that lv50 enemy that caused my first death when i was around lv10
weary dock
You generally top out around 50 when you finish the original game's MSQ, then there's ~100 quests as you plow through 2.1-2.55, much of it unfulfilling; hence the 5.3 re-work that's coming soonish
vernal plover
What does NA Legacy mean?
sonic wing
Is the Nier Automata raid content and gear/glamor permanent or was it a time exclusive event?
wintry chasm
Nothing meaningful now Suiren
faint flare
Permanent
warped nest
NA server that was around in 1.X era
wintry chasm
It's for old 1.0 stuff
twilit arch
perm @sonic wing
faint flare
2 more nier raids coming
sonic wing
Yessss
vernal plover
So should I not join that server then
warped nest
doesn't matter
twilit arch
legacy doesn't mean anything these days
ivory iris
Nier Raid is premanent
wintry chasm
but it being a legacy server isn't a problem
warped nest
the only recommendation we have for new players is to join Preferred Server (has a star)
ivory iris
it has gear and glamour both
as separate sets
How long is the fate boss cooldown in the Tempest
warped nest
it has XIV gears designed in the Nier Automata style and it has 2B glamour gear designed specifically for glamour purposes
long
if it happened 30 minutes ago, you are looking at waiting for 1-2 days
assuming you are talking about that boss on the square platform
ivory iris
I have no idea when it happend I just tried the chain and it dodn't activate it
Archaetonia or whatever yeah
and there's really no way to tellwhen it'll be reset
magic vapor
Dumb question, but has anybodh run FF14 on an surface?
ivory iris
kinda shit design SE
twilit arch
world boss fates usually have a cd of like 12-48hrs, give or take
faint flare
People use trackers for those super fates
ivory iris
that sucks ass
twilit arch
just because you did the fate chain doesn't mean its window is up
warped nest
it is dumb, but not shit, if it is compulsory for continuing story then it is shit
ivory iris
because I might be asleep or in other content and if it happens once then I have to wait agian
weary dock
reminds me of ffxi's HNM timers, really
faint flare
Join Linkshells for it
ivory iris
I would have to wait in the tempest with the map open for 36 hours
faint flare
There's probably several for it
warped nest
¯_(ツ)_/¯
twilit arch
join a hunt linkshell or discord, most of them have people calling out the fates
zinc tundra
ok so what's the point of a fellowship. i get linkshells and fcs
fellowships seem kinda redundant

Hi!, whats the meaning of WXHB in this sentence?: "uses just 4 buttons for the WXHB selections"
warped nest
it uses the face button
but it won't use the dpad
i'd recommend using the other settings and get both dpad + face button
oh WXHB
when you double tap L2/R2 you get to shortcut to another hotbar
lavish vortex
yeah haha what is WXHB?
lavish vortex
oh, so HB is for HotBars?
weary dock
(means "W-Cross Hot Bar")
warped nest
WXHB allows a player to shortcut to another crosshotbar by double tapping L2/R2 or hold L2 press R2 / Hold R2 press L2
lavish vortex
niceeee haha got it
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
@nova umbra , you can google the answers

@lavish vortex try it first, maybe you will like it?
@warped nest wait, ther is an option to have another crossbar by double tapping (not holding both R2 and L2 at the same time?)
warped nest
yes
look at your Custom in the hotbar settings
you can have Expanded Hold and WXHB to shortcut to different crosshotbar
lavish vortex
oh my god this opens up a lot more possibilities hahaha
weary dock
I think the guidance there is really to help you feel like your character in an immersion sense, but it doesn't really matter which job you use; any battle job would work and you aren't locked in
warped nest
i still think using dpad + face button for the Expanded Hold / WXHB is worth exploring just to see if you like it, if you don't just disable it
weary dock
I was, @white sinew
nova umbra
@twilit arch omg thank you, none of the google results were matching >_<
was getting a headache looking for it
warped nest
@white sinew you won't waste EXP until your DRG hits level 80 and your MSQ is not lvl 80
twilit arch
if you're going to be doing the 1 person HW maps, i suggest using this site https://www.dopr.net/sinseiff14kouryaku/トレジャーハントMAP G7地図座標
lavish vortex
@warped nest thanks!!!
twilit arch
oof that link but yeah its in jp, but its got images for each of the locations
warped nest
you are enforcing an immersion that doesn't exist in this game
even the NPC change their jobs throughout the story
faint flare
https://ffxivmaps.online/ this is another good site for maps
twilit arch
the problem with that site is that it only has the 8 man maps
and they're doing the 1 person maps
faint flare
Yeah trueee
weary dock
@white sinew then, if your character wants to be a Dark Knight, go be a Dark Knight. There isn't anything story-wise in the MSQ that demands you be this class or that; all of them work. I was only trying to explain why you keep hearing that recommendation over and over.
Seriously, though, no one will judge. Go nuts.
crimson wind
DRK starts at 30 tho
jade quartz
That recommendation exists on the assumption that people won't get massively over-leveled
crimson wind
And youll have to level it if you're at HW
warped nest
@lavish vortex take the time to play with the settings until it is comfy for you, or change it when you feel like it is not working, enjoy 😄

But what with Road to 70 people get overleveled a lot more now.

Guys if I put a Materia in one of my equipments, can I later on remove it? if so, is there a fee?
marble drift
yes you can remove
leaden ginkgo
and do I keep the materia once removed?
leaden ginkgo
s...sometimes?..
remote lintel
I think it's 40% for lvl 80
weary dock
I think Tier VI is 100% removal
marble drift
yeah but its largely pointless to drop in materia before 80
you'll generally be replacing gear too fast.
leaden ginkgo
true
weary dock
Easy, though, if you're leveling crafting along with a battle job. As you can generate your own lowbie materia from spiritbonding your gear, meld it yourself, remove it before you desynth old gear, etc
Without need of an NPC trip

I've never played an MMO before. Are there any bad classes? What's something good to start with?
weary dock
FFXIV is pretty balanced, imo. Tanks and Heals tend to queue for dungeons fastest, so if that's important to you, perhaps try one of those first.
warped nest
If you have nothing in mind, personally I will recommend playing as tanks
Tanks has easier combo so you don't get as confused on what to do. Easier to do combo also means you get to focus more on learning dungeons and mechanics
marble drift
but you are in charge of "being in front"
holding the attention of mobs (not too hard)
and taking the brunt of the damage
weary dock
Strongly recommend unlocking alt jobs and giving everything a try after lv10 to see how they feel - something might really sing to ya
weary dock
Thanks, Silver.

10
marble drift
oh kay yeah 10 but you can't change towns till 15

15 for airship, more or less?

Is there a stat alocation guide? for when I start to care about Materia, I'm guessing thats the only thing that has to do with stats in this game, as armors are pretty much the highest level armor is BIS? (Im just guessing, please clarify if we have options of different armors at high level)
marble drift
you'll need to get the aethercurrents in certain zones @nova copper

like max level paladin tanks wanting a helm 15 item levels lower than the max

np its probably bugged
leaden ginkgo
I see
marble drift
and generally you have 2 high level options at endgame
Tome gear (you get tomes every week, up to a cap. they're not the same ones you're getting now)
and raid gear.
and then substats matter (Critical Hit, Direct Hit, Determination. all that shit)
before 80 none of this shit matters just wear whatever has more item level
marble drift
There are even best in slot gear sets over on that Balance thing I called up the bot for later
so you don't even really have to think about your gear. Just follow the list. kinda braindead

You can manage missing them, but you kinda can't do the opener right without them
twilit arch
less kenki means less shintens
remote lintel
positionals give more kenki?
twilit arch
like yes the other melees lose a potency on their missed positionals
sam is going to get fewer kenki spenders out by missing positionals
junior yacht
hitting positionals is an immediate 33% boost to kenki gain
twilit arch
and that is BAD
remote lintel
should I always be getting enough kenki to do an ogcd between gcds?

Was in an argument about that in Memoria, they said that positionals don't matter for SAM anyway, keep positionals and keep up buffs
Not an oGCD between every GCD

the pattern I'm seeing in this sam rotation is that u do the first 2 moves of a combo first then iaijutsu and then the third move of the combo?
in general
remote lintel
oh
marble drift
other than that 1 instance every minute or so you follow the combos to completion
assume your damage combo is 123 and your speed up combo is 145 right?
its literally 1.2.3.1.4 -iajatsu- 5
iajatsu doesnt disrupt combo and you want both buffs up asap.
remote lintel
"speed up combo" meaning the shifu one?
marble drift
Im...not going to remember japanese combo names @_@
speed combo. damage combo. "other" combo
remote lintel
the one that makes ur cast times go down
remote lintel
ok I see
marble drift
well. not cast times. more gcds
as a samurai you only have 1 "cast" and thats iajatsu
which is sped up by a trait later. the speed combo decreases the time between auto-attacks and weaponskills by lowering your global cooldown
marble drift
right but Iajatsu is an ability
and dodges all of those
not spell. not weaponskill. ability

What is the difference between veraero and veraero II?

can someone explain what the best use of venture tokens are, please?

same with verthunder one as well

venture tokens are for retainers

I don't know what is 3+ iirc
twilit arch
3 or more mobs
faint flare
3+ targets
thin abyss
oh ok
remote lintel
at 3+ targets you don't start with jolt you just start with an aoe
slate arrow
verthunder II/veraero II

scatter is the dualcasted spell

Aero/thunder 2 into scatter

scatter at 3+ targets
thin abyss
wait? sooo for my aoe skills what is the combo?
little swift
!faq 50rdm
zinc orbitBOT
thin abyss
!50rdm
little swift
so at 2 targets
you verthunder2/aero2 as your hardcast
and verthunder/aero as your dual cast
and you alternate targets
at 3+ targets
its aero2/thunder2 into scatter
thin abyss
I am a noob lmao. What is hardcast
little swift
hard cast is just casting it normally
faint flare
When you cast with the cast bar
thin abyss
ok
little swift
dualcast is your trait which makes your next ability instant
so every other spell you cast has no cast time
thin abyss
sooo I am practicing on the dummies
I have figured out my basic rotation for single targer
Jolt > Veraero > Verstone > Veraero (If available)
Jolt > Verthunder > Verfire > Verthunder (if available)
How would I cast for aoe?
little swift
2+ targets veraero2/thunder2 > veraero/thunder (choose based on mana balance)
3+ targets veraero2/thunder2 > scatter
warped nest
You can Verstone - Verthunder or Verfire - Veraero too
You need to watch out and make sure the difference in black and white mana is not larger than 30
thin abyss
yeah I am practicing and then I will take it to a fate and see HOw I do
remote lintel
it's not hard once you get used to it
thin abyss
yeah Its fairly simple and straight forward
for melee it is Riposte > Zwerchhu > Redoublement?
faint flare
Yes
thin abyss
ok
faint flare
Only that
thin abyss
and how do I jump in and out of fight to get into melee range and back to caster range?
faint flare
By walking
thin abyss
there was something called corpse or something
faint flare
You have free movement when you dualcast a spell
remote lintel
corps a corps
faint flare
So you can walk
thin abyss
yeah
remote lintel
displacement
faint flare
You use corps a corp and displacement on cooldown
remote lintel
they should have cooled down by the time you finish your casting phase
thin abyss
just so I understand this clearly for aoe I press Vaeraro II/ Verthunder II > Verstone/Verfire
faint flare
No
little swift
their cooldown is reset with manafication though
remote lintel
don't use dualcast on short spells
faint flare
Never dualcast stone/fire

oh wait nvm
remote lintel
right

I wanna know my rotation for aoe
Do I go Jolt > Veraero II/Verthunder II > Verstone/Verfire ? Or simply press Verthunder II or Veraero II only and nothing else. If +3 then Verthunder II/Veraero II > Scatter?
faint flare
Dont use jolt in aoe
nova umbra
what is considered to be attack magic for requiscat?
faint flare
Holy spirit
remote lintel
veraero 2 and verthunder 2 are already short spells

What is the best / most efficient way to get gear for my retainers? I have kind of gotten rid of most of my gear as I've been leveling...
faint flare
Just grab some vendor gear
vapid scarab
For instance, if my retainer got to level 20, 40, etc....how should I go about gearing them?
faint flare
They dont care for stats (except dol retainers, they care for gathering stat)
So toss them vendor gear if anything
And any dungeon/old gear hand me downs
vapid scarab
So by vendor gear you mean gear from the vendors in the main cities?
obsidian patio
Combat retainers only care about item level
vapid scarab
But don't those only go up so high?
obsidian patio
Yes
thin abyss
I don't know how dualcast work? It is always available to me?
so It means I could press Jolt > Aero + Thunder > Verfire + Verstone?
also when I should be using swift cast, it seems to be pretty op
vapid scarab
To 59 I guess

There is vendor gear all the way to 78

Ahhh, makes sense...where's the higher level vendor gear? xD
remote lintel
dualcast automatically applies once you cast a spell
faint flare
Dualcast. Triggers whenever you cast a spell with a cast bar
Which makes youe next spell instant
And only your next spell
obsidian patio
60-70 in Kugane, 70-78 in the Crystarium
faint flare
Which afterwards its consumed
mossy current
!faq 50rdm
remote lintel
so every time you cast a spell your next one is instant
zinc orbitBOT
thin abyss
it does it automatically? I don't need to press that next spell?
faint flare
Dualcast is applied automatically and you press the button for the spell.you want to insta cast
remote lintel
swiftcast only does it once and has a cooldown so it's kind of useless on rdm
vapid scarab
where did that "I just unlocked" guide come from???
mossy current
Swiftcast is useful to get to verfire/stone off the bat
faint flare
On rdm
thin abyss
How do I know they are getting casted? So I press Jolt without waiting I press Aero. This means it casted Jolt and Aero?
remote lintel
no
when you cast a spell
it applies the dualcast buff
then your next spell you press
is instant
faint flare
You see the physical cast bar for jolt.
You then get the buff
You press aero/thunder then they come out instantly instead of the 5s cast
thin abyss
ohhh ok
faint flare
Rinse repeat
thin abyss
soo it is like animation cancel
vapid scarab
Is there a guide that shows all the "important" non-MSQ quests at lower levels, by any chance? Asking for someone who used an MSQ/level skip lol
faint flare
No
thin abyss
yeah I understand it now
faint flare
Its removing the cast bar of thunder/aero
thin abyss
ok I understand it. Sorry, I feel sooo dumb right now
remote lintel
that's ok
thin abyss
what is meant by oGCDs
faint flare
Off globals
Like fleche, contre, corps and displacement etc
Skills labelled Abilities
Opposed to spells
flint fulcrum
@vapid scarab any quest with you want to do.
thin abyss
btw. Limit break is useful for dps only?
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Mainly
thin abyss
ok yeah that is what I though
faint flare
With limit break 3
marble drift
or is required by the tank to hit it to avoid a total party wipe from certain mechanics
faint flare
Theres some cases where tank LB is mandatory or used to cheese mechanics
thin abyss
I will keep practicing and get my rotations going
hot crane

Whats a9s?
twilit arch
Alexander- Eyes of the Creator Savage
faint flare
Oh.eyes
olive lintel
What dungeon level is that?
twilit arch
its a lv 60 raid
faint flare
60
olive lintel
Im currently looking at anima weapon guide
So i guess you have to be level 80 unsyc to own it
mossy current
70-80 makes life easier
faint flare
With a few other people preferably
mossy current
^
faint flare
Solo is kinda sketch unless pld iirc
marble drift
a full team of people doing the anima grind can drop a9s in like 15 seconds
so...yeah get a party
olive lintel
Thanks for the advise
marble drift
cause you need to A9S quite a few times
olive lintel
Ill probably just do lux when i get to 80
marble drift
good plan. focus on MSQ until you cap
versed star
Sorry if this doesn't really belong here, but I just started and feel overwhelmed/like I'm maybe missing big parts of them game or something, is that normal or is there something I'm sorta missing, I'm kinda just wandering around doing a bunch of quests
lethal mural
question about the story || At the end when you defeat Vauthry and Emett-selch how come the darkness doesn't return? Because of Mt. Gulag? ||
mossy current
A Relic from Heavensward, don't worry about it unless you really want shiny things
remote lintel
@lethal mural at the very end of the story?
lethal mural
Yes.
remote lintel
it does?
lethal mural
It does in the crystarium
twilit arch
it does for all of the first
remote lintel
it has a day night cycle
twilit arch
that's...because it now has a proper day night cycle againn
remote lintel
lmao
lethal mural
marble drift
@versed star Focus on the quests with this marker 
versed star
@marble drift alrighty, thanks!
vapid scarab
what's the easiest way to wet my feet for raids and higher end content if I just hit 50 or 60? Is duty finder sufficient enough to learn these?
marble drift
well the normal raids are very forgiving and able to be jumped into without issue.
but finding groups for Binding Coil (the level 50 raids) or Alexander (the level 60 ones) is probably going to take forever
twilit arch
alexander shouldn't be that bad
considering its in normal raid roulette
binding coil on the other hand, you are more than likely going to need to make a party finder for
stable herald
Does anyone know what we can spend phantasmagoria on?
twilit arch
and do it unsync
stable herald
Apart from gear
twilit arch
@stable herald crafting mats
clever cave
check mp and compare prices for the crafting mats
twilit arch
or you can be lazy and just buy like 10 of each
stable herald
Which one is this? The same person that does exchange for gear?
stable herald
Cool beans. Thanks
remote lintel
how long would it take to get 1000 phantasmagoria
stable herald
Pretty fast-ish
remote lintel
like a couple hours?
stable herald
That would be p fast
remote lintel
I see
twilit arch
about 13 runs of grand cosmos/anamesis
or you can do like 4 or so hunt trains (if you can get on them)
remote lintel
clever cave
yea i would chain every hunt train possible
twilit arch
personally would do hunt trains if you're in a linkshell/discord
since you'll get clusters too
clever cave
then do df stuff in downtime
dusk umbra
so question how difficult is monk
remote lintel
I heard it's easy
nova umbra
uh... is there a way to do a macro so that I don't accidentally do this again? XD
little swift
don't mash it
if its for use of notifying party in chat
also take swiftcast off of it
if its on there
wide island
can someone tell me what this thing is next to someone's name please 🙂
lethal mural
So at Grand Cosmos, how do i get better level 80 gear?
little swift
can someone tell me what this thing is next to someone's name please 🙂
@wide island mean's they are a returner
gloomy ice
That's a returner. Someone who's recently come back to the game after having been unsubbed for a couple months or longer.
little swift
So at Grand Cosmos, how do i get better level 80 gear?
@lethal mural spend your tomestones of phantasmagoria
get to i435
do copied factory for some 460 pieces
unlock eden
do those
little swift
copied factory is the 24-man raid of shadowbringers
quest starts in tomra
"word about tomra" or something like that
eden is the 8-man raid series
twilit arch
Word about Komra
zinc orbitBOT
heavy jasper
hello,
how does levelling jobs work? right now i'm an arcanist, but if i switch to lancer is it my understanding that the level i see on my screen drops to 1
heavy jasper
& i guess the whole curve is mitigated if i have super good gear for that class to raise my item level? i dont wanna go back to killing lv1 monsters slowly hehe
junior yacht
unfortunately, no, because most gear is level-restricted
a level 1 lancer can't equip a level 50 lance
junior yacht
it will be faster though
if your highest-level job is at, say, 50
then any job lower than 50 gets an EXP bonus called the Armoury Bonus
little swift
!faq armouryexp
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
!faq altlvlguide
zinc orbitBOT
junior yacht
thanks channy
heavy jasper
ohh i see, i thought alt meant like a separate character
junior yacht
no
junior yacht
people call them "alts" because in other games you're usually required to make a new character
so the term just kinda carried over
heavy jasper
yea i'm still getting used to jargon
dusk umbra
Is there a list of recommend gear levels to have at certiant points? I feel like my gear is a bit on the low side for tank
heavy jasper
tyty
remote lintel
what level are you and what level is your gear
dusk umbra
67 and 277
little swift
if you've been replacing your aug shire with dungeon stuff/msq gear that sounds about right tbh
junior yacht
just pick up the next set of poetics gear when you hit 70 and you'll be hunky-dory
lethal mural
wow you only get 10 tomes of phantasmorgia per edens gate
dusk umbra
alright thanks
lethal mural
remote lintel
yeah it's a raid
junior yacht
of course
lethal mural
It's gonna take me a long time
remote lintel
do dungeons
junior yacht
they want raiders doing other content to grease the roulettes
if you want tomes, do roulettes
remote lintel
and the highest lvl dungeons
junior yacht
the daily rewards are the single best source of tomes
little swift
you can claim more from the eden 1 to 4 @lethal mural no lockout there
lethal mural
mm gotcha
remote lintel
is there another way to lvl 70-80 besides dungeons
twilit arch
Do pixie dailies, fates and nut huntbills
remote lintel
fates give good exp?
junior yacht
not-terrible
little swift
shb fates aren't bad
remote lintel
what about the hunts
little swift
plus it gives you fate rankings
junior yacht
both are good filler while waiting for queues to pop
lethal mural
where do you exchange the tomes of phantas
junior yacht
i don't know if i'd recommend doing just fates and hunts though
Eulmore
it's right next to the aetheryte when you port in
unreal aspen
whats the best way to help someone parse higher on dancer?
they said they're using standard step as often as possible + prioritizing procs and they're geared up
but parsing pretty low
like are there any common mistakes i can look out for?
remote lintel
parsing?
unreal aspen
like doing more damage srry
sage plaza
what's their uptime?
lethal mural
dude holy
these augmented items are a lot
exchange totems of pha for rain
plus rowen tokens
i mean
unreal aspen
what's uptime?
lethal mural
eulmoran cert of import
unreal aspen
like on buffs?
little swift
on their GCD casts
unreal aspen
aaaaaa
little swift
are they clipping/weaving correctly?
unreal aspen
that actually might be the problem i will ask
lethal mural
wait im so confused
little swift
if they have any logs on fflogs @unreal aspen tell them to paste teh url of that log into https://xivanalysis.com/ and it can be a good start to improving as well
lethal mural
how do you earn cert of import? It says to exchange for weapons/armor i dont have
unreal aspen
ok ty!!
remote lintel
deepshadow and crystarium
lethal mural
my ilvl is 426
sage plaza
deepshadow with your phantas
lethal mural
deepshadow?
sage plaza
crystarium with allegory
remote lintel
you are at the wrong vendor
remote lintel
crystarium is better than deepshadow though
sage plaza
crystarium requires allegory, which i'm not sure ex has
frozen cove
not sure if this belongs here, but anybody want to help me with my lalafell name? The naming pattern goes "AB CB", so I was thinking of going like Yuuta Shuuta, but im not 100% set on that last name... Any ideas are welcome c:
lethal mural
I have 25 ;c
sage plaza
Shuuta Yuuta
remote lintel
you get allegories from the same stuff that gives phantas
whole wasp
Yuuta Shota
sage plaza
Yuda Shuda
lethal mural
dude its so expensive
remote lintel
grind
frozen cove
PFFFT I was actually thinking of going Yuuta Shouta originally @whole wasp , I cant decide D:<
remote lintel
lalafell names have more alliteration i think
lethal mural
so daily's is the best way to get the tomestones right?
sage plaza
Yuyuta Shushuta?
lethal mural
and im doing eden just to get my items of the week?
remote lintel
yes
twilit arch
it depends on the gender and clan
lethal mural
then once i get higher ilevel ill do factory for my next item of the week
twilit arch
AB-CB is male plainsfolk
frozen cove
hmmm hold on. So as a plainsfolk Lalafell male, Yuuta Shouta or Yuuta Shuuta wouldnt work?
proper ruin
the heck is a reshade
lethal mural
zZZz
sage plaza
well you're at that point where prog raid is a thing for you
twilit arch
hmm, they both should work i think sleepy
lethal mural
prog raid?
twilit arch
since A and C don't necessarily have to rhyme
little swift
he's 426 he can't quite yet
little swift
needs to bump it firs t
whole wasp
@proper ruin reshade is a third-party addon (mod) that makes games look prettier with post-processing
little swift
edens gate has no lockout
lethal mural
yeah im queued for edens gate
remote lintel
did you watch a guide
lethal mural
eden isnt locked? so i can keep geting equip from it?
remote lintel
yes
lethal mural
it isnt like once a week?
remote lintel
no
lethal mural
is copied factory?
remote lintel
only for verse
frozen cove
lots of people use Reshade so I'm guessing if they'd want to stop people from using it they wouldve done it already!
I use it myself c:
remote lintel
🤔
twilit arch
technically reshade is against tos, since its 3rd party, but they're not going to bap you for it
remote lintel
copied factory isnt locked
lethal mural
whats verse?
remote lintel
comes after edens gate
twilit arch
Eden verse is the second tier of eden raid series
remote lintel
4 edens gate then 4 edens verse
whole wasp
eden gate (e1-e4) eden verse(e5-e8)
twilit arch
so 1-4 = Eden's Gate, 5-8= eden's verse
remote lintel
yes
lethal mural
so e5-e8 is locked
sage plaza
once you're geared up and ready you can head into the high end duties too

Is machinist under powered? I have seen multiple parties asking for people but they don’t want machinist.

Oops. Thought it was the town right outside HoH
twilit arch
oh wait

I don’t want to invest time in the class if so
lethal mural
how do you get that sin eat lion mount?
stable herald
Ah. Found it. Thanks Kael
whole wasp
none of the jobs are under/over powered
lethal mural
is there parties for that?
whole wasp
most likely the party members want the MCH drops for themselves?
or one of the member is switching to MCH for the raid/trial
since duplicates are pretty for the Limit Break and stats bonus
lethal mural
wait
nimble rain
my new tank character is close to the part with 8 man parties, is there something I should know about when there's 2 tanks?
little swift
in normal mode?
remote lintel
one is a main tank and the other will be off tank
little swift
if you're off tank pick up ads and stuff
remote lintel
decide which you will be
little swift
if you're off tank turn on your tank stance like 5-6 gcds into the pull or after your opener works as well
remote lintel
i'm pretty sure the first 8 man raid is rihtahtyn and hes ez af
so it doesn't really matter then
just hit him
leaden ginkgo
Depends what level he is doesn't it? I haven't even needed to worry about off tanks in Crystal tower atm XP (though I'm sure it was needed when it came out)
