how do I get promoted beyond second lieutenant
little swift
Do squadron missions
twilit arch
you need to level up your squadrons to level 40 (most likely higher) and complete the Flagged mission that becomes available to be promoted to First Lieutenant. For captain, you need to do 5 different dungeons with your squadron and then another flagged mission will appear

You should have unlocked a room in the back of your grand company that lets you start your squadrons now

Is there a discord dedicated to mount runs?
leaden ginkgo
so I'm probably going to be finished with my Ironworks set tomorrow, should I focus on augmenting all of that or is there another set of gear I should start looking at?
shrewd relic
Or a subtab
@leaden ginkgo i'd say it depends on if youre levling up alt classes as well. if youre only focusing on leveling up one class then id augment, but if not i'd save up for the next set of gear
but you could always just augment the weapon, thats what i usually do
leaden ginkgo
Yeah I'm just leveling up my first class White Mage
just started the game not too long ago
so I do know how to augment stuff, should I just focus on doing that then?
tough wolf
I just thought... after spending ~1500 white scrips on crafting set items... it's better to put materia into the dwarven cotton set isn't it?
open coral
Honestly if you're only in the level 50 MSQ right now, you can easily farm up to cap poetics again even if you do choose to augment your Ironworks set now.
Your best route @leaden ginkgo would probably be to augment what you can now (I recommend starting with the ring since once you've augmented the ring you can purchase and wear a second, unaugmented version as well), and keep doing that in bits after you complete your daily roulettes.
It should take less than 2 days of roulettes to augment everything.
robust crow
does fishing have any high level uses?
open coral
Yep, you can wear one Augmented ring, and one ordinary one.
robust crow
what do all these different fish even do
shrewd relic
@open coral thats amazing. you're a boss
open coral
afaik the primary high level use of fishing would be to obtain Aethersand.
robust crow
what is aethersand and what does it do
i bought a 3rd retainer and wasn't sure what to make her
i have a combat retainer and a botanist retainer so far
I read fishing is useful on your retainer since they can target specific fish without RNG
open coral
It's a crafting material
clever cave
@tough wolf yes the hq dwarven mythril are the best crafted lvl 80 accessories for doh/dol
open coral
Used in high level alchemy and cooking, from what I can tell.
gloomy ice
Aethersand is a high level crafting material. Generally used for master recipes. Obtained by gathering fish as collectibles then using Aetherial Reduction (which is gatherer's version of desynthesis) to obtain crafting crystals and assorted crafting mats.
little swift
Aethersands used in expert crafts
tough wolf
@tough wolf yes the dwarven are the best crafted lvl 80 accessories for doh/dol
@clever cave I wasted scrips :(( ok thanks for confirmation
robust crow
so should I make my 3rd retainer a different class
open coral
It is always prudent to have your retainers as a variety of classes, as each one can bring back different items.

How's WHM looking at lvl 70? ๐
zinc orbitBOT
smoky helm
Hmm, by any chance do you have a current vid of WHM healing or anything that can help a potential brand new player Aura Astra?
open coral
No. There's no effect on the game, regardless of dialogue choices at any point @leaden ginkgo
It's hard to say since I'm not really sure what you're looking for @smoky helm . Can you be more clear about what exactly that is? Are you asking if WHM is a good healer? If their spells are flashy? If they have nice transmog?
leaden ginkgo
Holy is a fun WHM spell that literally blinds everyone on their screen
robust crow
@open coral i meant a different class besides fisher
since it seems like fisher gathering isn't useful
currently have a combat and a botanist
leaden ginkgo
Lul what is this?
robust crow
if anything it seems like my 3rd one should be miner or fisher
leaden ginkgo
@open coral yeah I did that ring thing first thing right off the bat, so that's already done, just working on the...necklace, wrists, and ears now before augmenting everything else though, thanks for the advice
gloomy ice
@leaden ginkgo Obvious fishing attempt. Ignore it.
gloomy ice
damn autocorrect
robust crow
ignore it
leaden ginkgo
Identity theft
Ah Okay thank you so much
don't click links you don't know in game
open coral
@smoky helm WHM is a very strong reactive healer. Their specialty is as powerful all-around "pure healers", wielding a wide variety of both single target and AoE healing spells. They also hold the capability to do a good amount of damage with spells like Assize and Afflatus Misery, as well as their basic rotational damage spells of Dia and Glare (Aero and Stone at lower levels).
gloomy ice
@robust crow But, yeah. Having a retainer for different types of gatherer and at least one for combat is really helpful. If you don't see yourself using FSH for anything, MIN would be the better choice.
robust crow
well, I don't know if I would use FSH for anything
anyone who's an omnicrafter can chime in on the best retainer classes?
open coral
From a mana standpoint, they are also the easiest to manage, as they have very efficient mana use, and the ability to cast mana-free and mana-negative spells, in addition to the spellcaster's baseline Lucid Dreaming skill, which restores mana for a short period of time.

it's really a question of "is a fisher or miner retainer better"
open coral
@quasi summit At the Wolves' Den
robust crow
i read online people like fisher retainers since they guarantee the fish you want
quasi summit
where is it i never went there
robust crow
since you can't always catch the fish you want
but miner sounds like it's more useful
whole wasp
Fisher retainers also niche for the minions they can get
I known a few who switched out their fisher retainer aftee getting the exclusives.
gloomy ice
Fat cat minions still fetch a decent price on MB due to their relative rarity.
robust crow
i'm not sure I want to invest several weeks into ventures to level up fisher just to switch it out later...

@open coral I really appreciate it. Still undecided. And have no fashion sense. But I guess that will be developed in time. I'd love to make like a gothic/warlock glam.

If you want a warlock-type glam, you'd be better served looking to the dps spellcasters like BLM or SMN
Otherwise you'd have to buy class-agnostic glamour items off the Mogstation cash store.

Hows solo play as a healer? Harder to kill mobs etc or? Thanks again!
lament wagon
it's just boring
open coral
The game is effectively designed that you should have no more difficulty soloing as a healer or tank compared to a dps.
lament wagon
you only have 1 skill to press
open coral
The only real difference is that you don't have a super involved rotation, and your ability to pull multiple mobs (at lower levels) is lower.
whole wasp
Its also very safe as healer. Near-impossibe to die.
open coral
Once you get to level 45 as WHM and do the job quest, you'll learn the spell Holy, which is nice for multi-target stuff.
smoky helm
@open coral - debating just boosting. ๐ I know.
open coral
For a first job, I would not recommend it unless you're willing to also take the time to sit on a dummy and go through learning what each of your spells does.
smoky helm
in a rage with WoW lol. anywho. I really appreciate this channel team.
absolutely I would. It's just finding a good guide atm.
lament wagon
also if you're boosting you'll be level synced when doing story content
open coral
The thing with healing in this game is that damage in both dungeons and larger group content is very largely scripted.
lament wagon
so for a long time you won't be able to use your whole kit
smoky helm
Nami, asWHM there's only 1 spell to dmg enemies / bosses?

You get a nuke, a dot, a aoe and some other stuff with assise and afflatus misery
lament wagon
as whm you have one single target gcd, one dot gcd, one aoe gcd and an an aoe nuke
smoky helm
Hey that's pretty cool!
lament wagon
and assize which is an aoe ogcd heal/damage/mp regen
but you should use it for damage
faint flare
But most of the time, healers in general are pressing their nuke 98% of the time
lament wagon
also you get the nuke at level 76
smoky helm
All i've done so far in this game is secure a spot on the server I wanted, and basically tried to learn the market and look at gear lol.
faint flare
Thats the extra big nuke...at 74 btw
lament wagon
ah 74 my bad
smoky helm
and by gear, i mean learning a fashion sense lol.
faint flare
76 is rapture
open coral
Aero/Dia is the DoT, Glare is the single target attack, Holy is a short-range (melee + radius) damage/stun, Afflatus Misery is the target-centered multi-target nuke, and Assize is a wide-range heal/damage/mana return

You're not limited to a single job per character in this game @smoky helm
lament wagon
whm is also the easiest healer to play
open coral
You can be everything.
lament wagon
also what did you mean by securing a spot on the server
open coral
Yeah, but what did you mean by securing a spot?
Until you create a character, you don't get to choose a server.
smoky helm
Tamfrit was always hard to create a character.
open coral
And that include selecting a class.
smoky helm
for me at least.
strange coral
The preferred worlds are sometimes hard to create new characters on during peak hours

also if you plan to be a healer, the most important thing is that your job will be to deal as much damage as possible while keeping people alive

Hey! I haven't gotten super far yet but i was wondering, is it possible to queue for all story related content at the lowest difficulty level? Or do you need a guild to do some of them? Not talking about super-mythic or whatever, just story quests in raids and stuff
next wind
are you guys having issues with connectivity lately? queued for 40min, spent 50min in MSQ and disconnected on the last boss
so 2hrs wasted
open coral
Almost all content is included in the "roulettes" available after completing certain content, meaning that you should have no issues getting parties for anything @rain seal

tried to connect and instantly lost connection again....

The only real exception is Binding Coil of Bahamut, and the "high end" raid and trial content.
smoky helm
Nami, so is it a good thing that WHM is the easiest class to play? ๐
remote lintel
raids aren't part of the main story
open coral
The game will sync higher level players down to the maximum level and ilevel for content.

Technically raids aren't part of the main story, but both the level 50 Crystal Tower and level 70 Return to Ivalice are "recommended" content.

but different people like different things, some people prefer more complex jobs

The difference is that with PF you can do the level 50 content with level 80 chracters and items. Which makes it a lot easier

OK, i'm just interested in seeing all the content/fights, even if its on easy or w/e.

rain seal
But they are the same thing right? just harder?
remote lintel
and with more mechanics yes
remote lintel
maybe he do
faint flare
Savage is harder, more mechanics and new phases
And he needs to clear savage (some fights anyway) to see ultimate
clever cave
Ya but hes talking about unlocking and doing older stuff
remote lintel
savage also doesn't have aoe markers, you have to memorize what attack is happening and when
or read the cast bar
vagrant copper
Short story: Pick whichever class/job you want. It doesn't matter as much as you think it does. You can access and clear all content with any class/job.
And if it doesn't, it takes very little effort to switch

Probably not @wide niche . FC rank and FC rank with the GC where it was created don't actually seem to have any direct correlation.
remote lintel
i mean you would have to level all the way from 1 to 50
but yes you use the story skip on the character you choose
clever cave
msq skip without leveling skip will probably slow down your leveling by a lot
quaint gate
Oh @clever cave ,because MSQ grant high EXP rewards,right?
clever cave
generally yea
quaint gate
hmm
clever cave
but its up to you, could grind with dungeons if you want
vagrant copper
You must be playing a different MSQ than me lol
remote lintel
and the post ARR too?
remote lintel
if you bought the story skip, it would skip post ARR
so you would be missing story
quaint gate
Hold up..
clever cave
oh so you only want to skip arr
remote lintel
yes
open coral
Cerberus is correct. If you weren't around for the 2.1-2.55 patches, you would be missing all of the pre-Heavensward story between the end of the Praetorium instance and the beginning of Heavensward.
remote lintel
the story skip would skip all the story between ARR and HW
quaint gate
I was planning on buying the Story "A realm reborn" for 9,75โฌ
open coral
Which will skip you straight to the first MSQ of Heavensward
quaint gate
Ye that sounds good
open coral
Bypassing ALL of the patch MSQ from 2.1-2.55
quaint gate
Ohhhhh
remote lintel
because you didn't play post ARR
quaint gate
Darn
open coral
So if you stopped playing after completing the Praetorium instance, then you'd lose about 100 quests worth of story
remote lintel
^
quaint gate
Do you have a rough estimate,doing only MSQ;how long it would take from MSQ lvl 21-MSQ lets say 40?
remote lintel
short
open coral
Not long. Maybe like, 5 hours, tops?
remote lintel
if you just skip all the cutscenes
open coral
Even with the cutscenes
quaint gate
Alright
open coral
Skipping cutscenes maybe 2 hours
open coral
God no
quaint gate
And i dont have time for that rn
open coral
If you don't care to watch through all of the story again, you can get through all of ARR from level 1 up to the post-ARR quests in about 20 hours total.

@young fjord It will depend on what class you're playing. But basically there's no optimal team.
remote lintel
@young fjord they are all good

It helps if you have ||Ryne|| if you're using Thancred though, because he won't use any of his aether-based skills if you don't.

open coral
@quaint gate You can't start AST until you reach Ishgard, the main city for Heavensward.
quaint gate
Is astrologist full support?And when will i get some decent AoE attacks with lancer?
open coral
AST is a flex healer. They can spec either Diurnal (regen) or Nocturnal (shield) spec to fill the same role as WHM or SCH respectively.
They also have party support in the form of their cards, which can buff damage when used.
And a variety of other general support spells.
But they're still a healer.
quaint gate
Excellent,that sounds awesome
remote lintel
i think dragoon gets aoe attacks kinda late
quaint gate
Bard is something like 50% damage 50% support right?
remote lintel
not really
open coral
BRD is much more damage than it used to be.
leaden ginkgo
Hi guys
open coral
Their support comes in the form of their songs, which both buff the party and give the BRD specific buffs or attacks as well.
But that's a very minor part of their whole rotation - just keep songs on at all times.
quaint gate
But i guess a bard can not replace a WM?
remote lintel
nothing can replace healer
leaden ginkgo
What are we supposed to do in Cyborg boss's insta kill sniper attack in Orbonne mondasty?
remote lintel
Bard does not heal
open coral
No, BRD is prdps. WHM is healer.
open coral
@leaden ginkgo Turn the opening in the circle around you towards the boss.
quaint gate
And wish you the best
open coral
Then pray that your healers also know how to do that and heal everyone afterwards.
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
I see @open coral but why some people stick together?
open coral
Because it's not an obvious mechanic if you've never done it before
But unless it has the stack marker (big orange arrows over a single player's head), you don't need to stack.
leaden ginkgo
Ahh ok
strange coral
Or because it helps healers hit everyone with aoe heal after the snipe attack
leaden ginkgo
Thanks @open coral

That too

The real key on that one is making sure that the opening in the circle is facing the boss.
That's the only way to avoid being oneshot by it.

is white mage viable for all situations? Or do the other healers have a way of beating it?

But in terms of tanks theyโre the most balanced of the role.

@open coral where can I get it?
leaden ginkgo
Uhm. So I tried to start a subscription and keep getting an error.
I was told it might be because I use a VPN. I always do and it usually isnโt an issue.
I went on Amazon and found a 60 day time card and then tried that but then received the same error.
My trial ends in 7 days and Iโm stuck.
Any suggestions?
obsidian patio
@mossy tartan pretty much, yes. White Mage has high healing and high personal damage
mossy tartan
Is ACT against the TOS?
pastel pond
Only asked because dark knight seems to do nice dmg
obsidian patio
Grey area. Just donโt tell random people youโre using it on them and donโt use it to harass
Personal use is 100% fine
mossy tartan
Iโll play it safe, then
open coral
@leaden ginkgo The longer answer to your question is that FFXIV doesn't really require addons in the first place. The most common ones are ACT (which is a damage parser) and a saturation addon called ReShade, but neither are necessarily required to play the game, even at the top levels.
leaden ginkgo
I used to play WoW so I know for end-game raiding it's important
obsidian patio
@leaden ginkgo common workarounds that Iโve heard are trying it on a different browser like Firefox or on mobile
open coral
FFXIV is nothing like WoW in that respect.
mossy tartan
Same, used to play allods, DPS, healing, and tanking meter was a must for me

wow addon literally baby modes players
open coral
Things like DBM/Bigwigs and WeakAuras are made completely irrelevant by the fact that mechanics are extraordinarily well telegraphed and mapped in this game.
obsidian patio
Endgame fights arenโt designed with needing Add-ons in mind.
leaden ginkgo
like if you are running a high end raid and you want to know how much a person is doing for the group and if that person needs to be replaced. but yea this discussion is not for #questions-and-help sorry

Yep, Itโs not mandatory at all

cant you set act up so it shows your dps in timeframes throught a fight
open coral
It does, but the addons used in WoW are made unnecessary in XIV by a combination of factors such as the fights, even in the highest-end content being very scripted, and mechanics being telegraphed in ways that make it obvious what you're meant to do for them @leaden ginkgo

Why wouldn't they queue for those floors? And I'm so used to tank queues that waiting for 30 to 40mins sucks

people don't really queue for 11-50 because there's not really a point in doing it
you can start potd at floor 1 or 51
open coral
Worldwide, at the current time? I have no idea. I don't think anyone tracks that sort of thing because nobody really cares that much. @leaden ginkgo

and people just do 51-60 over and over to level up

Isn't one of the requirements to get HOH getting floor 50 done?

for hoh you grind 21-30

yeah it is

The only duty required for Tsukuyomi Ex is the normal version iirc, which should be done if you've done the MSQ. And the Ex versions of the other trials should have unlocked as well. Only thing I can think of is that a skip potion might mess with it.

iirc you get the 15 days if you reach level 30 (or was it 35?) in a preferred server.

You should be doing the specific ventures iirc
And then the exploration when you log out for the day
twilit arch
you get 15 days when you hit lv 30 on a preferred world, that said you still get the 15 days if the world started out as preferred but was changed to standard

specific ventures?

and yeah do the specific 1hr ventures while you're on, every hour then 18hr when you log off/away for a while
forest laurel
wdym by that exactly
twilit arch
the hunting/gathering explorations
raven sage
quick ventures are only good for fishing for potentially rare items
Not so much leveling
twilit arch
where they go for specific items, like toad skins or shards
quick ventures can be decent xp if they bring back good items
but its too random to be efficient
forest laurel
my retainer doesn't have any lvl 50 ventures tho
unless you mean just doing the ones I have now until I get him to 51
twilit arch
yeah just gotta push to 51
raven sage
Yeah just whichever your highest is
twilit arch
cos there is no 50 hunting venture
forest laurel
right
raven sage
It's pretty similar to actual leveling in that regard
twilit arch
probably do snurble tufts over the ogre horns
since its likely they're gonna be better sellers, but might wanna double check your market

I might go for raptor skins instead bc they're the same xp and they're gonna help a bit for leatherworker
