depends if it's your first char or an alt
slate arrow
have you done your MSQ
little swift
i've been playing fresh on a new server, i'm lvl24 and its been about 1 day through msq
warped nest
do your story
devout nymph
How many hours per day? :0
devout nymph
I have no idea where I'm going lol
native ingot
Gimme a sec checking system
fickle plover
So something like this?
slate arrow
for reference it took me about 30 hours to get from level 1 to Heavensward with watching cutscenes intermediately
fickle plover
devout nymph
I just run aroud La Noscea and do errands for random people on opposite ends of the map
little swift
don't do 
devout nymph
OOF
are teh ones you should do

Presence of Mind, Lucid Dreaming, Swiftcast, Surecast, and Benediction can get closer

Gigabyte gaming
slate arrow
1060 3gb or 6gb
little swift
i would personally swap the damage spells and the healing spells
slate arrow
aight so
little swift
since you ideally want to be GCD healing less and attacking more
slate arrow
don't run it on max settings but desktop high should be fine
little swift
thereby making it less strain to hold onto ctrl all the time
@devout nymph most of the sidequests are worldbuilding stuff, very rarely do they have rewards
native ingot
Ok
warped nest
i am a controller player, so i can only provide general advice so listen to Channy on the more detailed info on KB/M
native ingot
And shading?
charred owl
devout nymph
Ah so sidequests arent a good source of exp then?
slate arrow
not really
little swift
you get access to things such as roulettes later that are a great source of EXP
fickle plover
ah ok so have my dmg spells abit more accessable whilst having healing on ctrl then?
whole wasp
are mostly for lore and flavour
slate arrow
@native ingot just mess with the settings until you get your desired FPS or just pick a preset if you're lazy
warped nest
yup
whole wasp
unless you're super early level
little swift
some of your healing spells are less useful later (like cure/cure2) where you find that you're casting them because stuff is going horribly wrong
warped nest
don't be afraid to change it again later down the road
little swift
work until its comfortable
warped nest
"huh, this skill give my tank a shield and it is on short cooldown, i should press this more" then find a spot to make it easy to press
stuck oracle
Does anyone know timers for the Archaeotania Special FATE
@charred owl
just bumping bc this seems to be getting buried
fickle plover
Also i do have one of those mice that has the buttons on the side, 1-12 and everything on the hotbar is covered, should i do use those or stick to keyboard binds?
little swift
i changed my whm setup a couple months back because all my healing spells were at the top like yours but then i realized i barely used them and had hand pains from holding CTRL down to cast damage
thats up to you
warped nest
whatever is comfortable for you
little swift
i have one ofthose as well
and i have the buttons mapped to f1-f8
for targetting party members
warped nest
the goal is to do it comfortably and instinctively
whatever route you take to get there is up to you
little swift
i use ` 1 2 3 4 5 q e r f x as my keybinds
agile laurel
So this is gone gone, right? Retired and nothing like it? https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/794f4de1855/
slate arrow
you can no longer obtain it yes
fickle plover
i may try that layout, i like the idea of the mouse buttons being used for targeting party members
agile laurel
i just hate mch guns so figured I'd only play it if I could find an actual pistol
but I see I missed my chance
warped nest
there are other cool options too, like a Machinist gun that look like a Gunblade
or one that looks like Bayonet
silent wigeon
hey guys where can i find a guild?
little swift
@fickle plover keep in mind this is what works for me, and i'm by no means an amazing healer. it'll take some time for you to find whats effective for you since you don't have all your skills available yet
slate arrow
#612757637813239808 join your local DC first
agile laurel
It just irks me the animations are more suited to a pistol but all the weapons are some cursed half-way to a rifle but not quite
slate arrow
and then go to the recruitment chat
little swift
@agile laurel the people over at #glamour-discussion might be able to find a gun that suits your tastes
slate arrow
acktually the animations are made for a carbine
little swift
tell them you already know you can't have makai hand mortar or what ever its called
agile laurel
Ah well. I guess maybe someday it'll turn up in a seasonal or on mogstation
little swift
event existed for 3 years
unlikely it'll come back any way
but thats what we said about yokai watch
slate arrow
level-5 is pretty generous about lending out crossover materials
fickle plover
@little swift i understand, though i do like the sound of that setup since thats much more accurate to games ive played in past. AS for getting used to it, well it may take acouple dungeons
slate arrow
TV shows are an entirely different beast
silent wigeon
where can i find my local server chat ?
zinc orbitBOT
silent wigeon
where can i find my local data center ?@slate arrow
little swift
in case you don't know what dc your server is from
slate arrow
on a different note does anyone have a link to the revival wings discord
agile laurel
you may want to actually scroll down on #612757637813239808
to find the datacenters

@slate arrow
slate arrow
thamks
little swift
i think thats the right one
devout nymph
Question, does anyone know what this weird thing is?
little swift
thats your job gauge
agile laurel
that's BLM job gauge
little swift
it tells you how many stacks of astral fire/ umbral ice you have
agile laurel
it shows enochian, astral/umbral timers, umbral count etc
little swift
and its remaining duration
agile laurel
you can move it in hud layout
little swift
or switch it to simple mode
silent wigeon
so im north american : primal data center
silent wigeon
where should i look for a guild?
agile laurel
select primal in #612757637813239808
and go look in the recruitment-primal channel you get
slate arrow
#recruitment-primal
agile laurel
ofc you'll have to search to find ones on your world
silent wigeon
thank you!\

LF Help with leveling from 67-70 please (Beside HOH/Roulettes) since dalies/msq done till 70 (excalibur-Primal)
slate arrow
#recruitment-primal or use your local party finder
sad to say, most of us probably can't help unless they have a leveled primal character
agile laurel
(however were it me i probably would just do HoH, won't take 45mins)
little swift
np!
pallid eagle
I just don't like HOH doesn't teach me how to play my class properly though
pallid eagle
Did post thanks
whole wasp
yea. HoH is mostly for people who just want to get to 71

and since I personally get along much better with learning with a full kit, it suits me

hopefully I'm ok posting this here. So my account has been temporarily restricted for reasons unbeknown to me (Just after I purchased a time card the day before...F). When I try to reset my password to gain access back into my account it says my email isn't verified even though I have an email confirming it is verified from last year so I'm completely stuck. I've sent a ticket to square enix but I'm still yet to hear anything. Just had a long break off the game and wanted to come back so it's a bit of a kick in the teeth.

So for roulette main scenario why people not skipping the cs ?
or did they change it ?
whole wasp
main scenario roulette cutscene cannot be skipped
thats why the rewards for it are so high
since its guraunteed to be at least 40-60 minutes per run
proud willow
@small jay Just to make sure, are you resetting the correct account? there's a difference between the Square Enix account and the Square Enix Store account; sometimes people mixed them up (understandably)
slate arrow
also, you have to use your SE Account Username to log into the launcher
you cannot use your email
do note that you either might have been hacked or i1205 might be in full effect
(though, I'm leaning towards the former.)
!faq mogstation
zinc orbitBOT
devout nymph
Oh gods almighty this dwarf rabbit sells for 42K gil
small jay
Yep it's definitely the Square enix account although I can't access the store account either. I do use my SE username to log in. I only logged in the night before to sort that time card and everything was fine, Try to play the next day and it's game over. The email I get when I try to reset the password says it's not verified and sends me to the support page. the frustrating thing is all I need to do to unlock it is reset my password but I can't so I'm stuck in a loop. sent a ticket but I'm still waiting a reply. That was a few days ago
slate arrow
have you tried a new browser with a cleared cache?
your phone? an alternate laptop/desktop?
small jay
I'll try mobile and another browser and see what I get! cheers
final sandal
how does the level scaling work for sync'd beast tribe quests? for example the Vath. would i get the best exp doing the quests with a 50 job or is there an ideal level i should turn them in with?
whole wasp
you can only turn them in with the class you accepted it as
the quest will automatically sync to lvl of the job you are accepting it as
if you had a lvl 55, the quest would be 55
final sandal
i'm a bit rusty but am i able to do the job with an 80 or does it restrict that
whole wasp
yes you can do it as an 80 but it will be a lvl 60 quest since thats the max
final sandal
accept as 55 -> do as 80 -> turn in as 55
final sandal
so the max exp is for 60?
little swift
no
whole wasp
crafters can
little swift
you're locked to the class you start them as for combats
if you swap you can't even fight the quest mobs
twilit arch
for combat tribes, the fall off isn't that bad
so you can do vath for a bit into the 60s
whole wasp
moogles you can do it that way but vath etc needs you to do the quest objectives as the job you accepted it as
twilit arch
though generally don't want to do it to 70 because its really not going to offer that much
final sandal
so maybe after 65+ the exp starts to fall off?
twilit arch
for crafters though, they basically fall into a chasm if you're over their lvl range
final sandal
might be worth doing on my dps classes, since queue times are atrocious for daily roulettes
whole wasp
by 60, you should be doing stormblood beast tribes as well
twilit arch
63-65 probably is when i would stop with hw tribes
final sandal
thanks for the info, i'll do them on my 52 sam
the only other option i have is my 62 brd
btw what time do daily clan marks reset?
slate arrow
!reset
zinc orbitBOT
Tick, Tock, Kupo!
twilit arch
should be with the daily reset
slate arrow
but hunts were introduced with the grand company tho
small jay
@proud willow @slate arrow Thank you both! I'm back in....Rather stupid on my part...I missed an email that had a reset link already in a few days ago...Hence why It was probably saying my email isn't verified when I tried to change passwords... thanks for the help!

crimson wind
Who should i put Dance Partner on? I'm assuming DPS?
whole wasp
whoever does the most damage
which is whoever dies the least often if its been multiple pulls
else, its usually BLM/SAM/SMN or the MNK
crimson wind
ok thanks
I'd assume I may want to switch to tank if they need mitigation but they're on CD?
whole wasp
nah you dont use dance partner to help mitigate
little swift
No
crimson wind
Ok

you walk up to them and shield samba

is there a specific server where pvp is common?
i really like pvp but no one queues for it ):
slate arrow
which PvP in particular
frontlines gets queues regularly due to Onsair Nadaam in the Daily Challenge
slate arrow
also it's anywhere from 2 to 6 AM on NA servers
so like PVP tends to be dead at this hour
solemn delta
Does way of the dragon increase overall damage?
obsidian wren
Way of the dragon?
oak ice
Blood of the Dragon?
solemn delta
Eh the second one sorry that you use high jump to get
oak ice
Not as a direct damage boost but it gives you Geirskogul and Nastrond
solemn delta
Yeah 2 mirage dives
slate arrow
yeah that one is a DPS boost given you're using Geirskogul and Nastrond
oak ice
And Starshatter dive
solemn delta
Hmm so is it really worth it on single target that's moving around a lot?
oak ice
Yes
slate arrow
yes
oak ice
Geir is 270 potency even on single target
obsidian wren
And it has a shorter cooldowk than the skill it replaces too iirc
slate arrow
you can fit 3 geirskoguls every life of the dragon
solemn delta
My life of the dragon only lasts 20 thought it was a 10 sec CD?
solemn delta
Or does life life decrease CD of geirskogul
slate arrow
oh ShB has a trait which automatically makes blood and life 30 seconds minimum
oak ice
I pronounce it as it's spelled
slate arrow
in Stormblood it's 20 seconds unless your timer is over 20 seconds in which case it takes up the higher value
slate arrow
so you can get up to 30 seconds of life of the dragon given you land your wheeling thrust and the other one
solemn delta
Weird is it level 80? Gonna boot up my ps4 I'm nearly 77
Yeah I get 30 seconds on that
slate arrow
level 78
solemn delta
Damn might get it today if I get ultima twice lol
Definitely need to practice on a dummy don't even have raiden thrust macroed lol
obsidian wren
Macroed

Well on my bar lol

raiden thrust replaces true thrust when you land your positional

Hello, I just bought Shadowbringers and a 30 day sub. Are there any wholesome communities out there where I can go to meet and make new friends and go through content together? Not looking for hardcore stuff.
jade quartz
@marble drift as far as I understand it, it should be something like "Gyre-skog-gool" but there's some variation
The o in "skog" can be closer to a German ö sound and the "gyre" can also be more "gear"
humble birch
is the EXP for frontlines roulette still good
marble drift
so...Norse
humble birch
Im lvl 77
proud willow
@blissful quartz the Novice Network chat on some/most servers is a good community for finding people to befriend, though seemingly a lot of people just don't go through content together in this game because it's such a solo experience
Novice Network is invite-only, so ask someone with a crown icon for an invite or just shout in a city

if my leveling routine is MSQ, duty roulette and use exp food?

hi all. I'm playing a scholar and have the skill 'Energy Drain' unlocked. but for some reason it's greyed out and I can't use it. can someone tell me what I'm missing?
fresh lodge
You need to have an Aetherflow to use it
patent citrus
is there any other way to level? @fresh lodge
im lv 35 warrior now and willing to roll gunbreaker in the future
patent citrus
well pretty sure the msq also includes dungeon
and as a tank, i don't think i can level both dungeon and msq since i always get instant queue everytime
patent citrus
is spamming dungeon much faster method to max level? o_o
fresh lodge
If you're still going through the MSQ, then focus on that
patent citrus
eh msq roulette?
let me check
just duty roulette right? 🤔
what is msq roulette?

If you're still progressing through the MSQ then you won't have it

If not, then I'd try sending in a support ticket since this is a very particular issue that isn't well documented. (at least with my attempts of googling)
solemn delta
How could I have gone from 74-77 since yesterday evening and still have a full blue bar?
I thought it maxed out at 1.5 levels
obsidian patio
Rested experience is only consumed by killing monsters and crafting/gathering stuff, so if you got that mainly from roulette bonuses that may be why.
frigid pelican
thx!

Yeah true. Good for dungeon grinding. Counts on bosses too doesn't it?

Yep.

hey guys, my retainers are currently 51lvl archers, is there a good reason to get them a job? at 30 ventures it will be expensive
obsidian patio
They can wear job specific items
it's also how you make them into expansion jobs if you wanted to
humble birch
question about the Dancer Espirit gauge
to build it
you need standard step or technical step active
and you have to land weaponskills or spells
either you or your partner
but it builds very slowly?
even when successfully landing weaponskills it does not give me any espirit

that what i see

A Matter of Perspective is a level 5 class quest
Why aren't you doing those?

the game doesn't exactly knock into you how important those are
humble birch
go do your MSQ first

Might as well do it now since there is a dungeon soon

Hmm
Either do this quest and do your class quests when you're done in Limsa
Or do it now

I suppose it doesn't matter which way round

you should head to the Archer's guild and do the quest soon

cunning palm
is it better to do duty alliance raid to level up my alt classes or do it for tomestone of allegory
oak ice
Every GCD you or your dance partber uses has a chance to give esprit
You can just do expert roulette daily for tomes if you don't need them now
wintry chasm
I'd do it for xp, ain't bad in that regard
I tend to save the quicker things like normal raid and trial roulettes for allegory
strange coral
I usually do expert for allegory. 5 days of expert give 450 allegory. This frees up the other roulettes for leveling.
Only exception is when I don't feel like logging in everyday and cram all the allegory farming on the weekend.

You can give them to mutamix in Central Thanalan and he can sometimes make them a higher grade but frankly it's not worth it
shy vault
btw in 5 days i see there will be event the low levels can do it too?
obsidian patio
Yep, lowest possible duty that gives moogle tomestones is Qarn normal at level 35.
So trial players can take advantage of it? Not sure if they're allowed to buy expansion-specific things like the extreme primal mounts. 
wintry chasm
They should Wynne

i not free trial

You have to finish the entire relic chain up to Zeta in order to buy replicas
solemn delta
Is it normal to have quite low dps if your doing a 77 dungeon in 70 gear?
solemn delta
Tank was moaning malikahs well was taking 40 minutes instead of 20
Can only buy crafted at this point?
wintry chasm
I assume you did MSQ already Ripe
solemn delta
I'm nearly 78
Yeah for this reset
I'm just as well bumming it to 80 in my shit gear lol
Need to buy a few neo pieces
wintry chasm
If you do that and get something like Gulg you might get some shit
You should be getting dungeon gear from running these dungeons
Do you not have anything?
solemn delta
I think one piece in like 4 dungeons drg gear seems to be the rarest
wintry chasm
You realise that when you clear the dungeon you get a piece
so if you did 4 dungeons you have 4 pieces just from clearing it
wintry chasm
I'd honestly just spam well or something and get some better gear because if you get to 79 and do a roulette and get gulg or Inno you're going to annoy people ¯_(ツ)_/¯
tbh I always grind out dungeons on my first job so I get all the dungeon gear I need to level for all my roles
solemn delta
I have 3 80s 🙄 lol
leaden ginkgo
are class level boosts limited to 1 per account? Leveled a class to 80 and finished the MSQ, wanna try something else but dont have the time to deal with the leveling atm due to my job, but I still wanna have fun
agile laurel
shouldn't be
solemn delta
Passed on everything
solemn delta
Is there any grey gear I can buy im nearly 78
wintry chasm
If you want to level alts greeding everything is really important
solemn delta
Greed greed greed
leaden ginkgo
ty for the info
solemn delta
Had one guy in a dungeon say don't greed anything only need or pass must have been trolling so he could get it all
solemn delta
Was lower level too on my BLM like 40 odd so could hsve been pretty new players
next wind
haha yea, I spent 600k to gear up 4 retainers lol
solemn delta
Who would hsve listened but I passed on most stuff anyway. Quick question to any DRG main or DRG who knows the class.
When doing packs of mobs I'm assuming it's pointless going for life of the dragon? I've not seen a group last a minute yet
faint flare
You should, with clever use of using blood of the dragon to extend the duration at last minute, you can enter life
Plus it buffs jumps
wintry chasm
^
and all the life skills are aoe
There isn't a reason to really save life for a boss or something
faint flare
Plus it only takes 30s to enter life
Jump at the start then again 30s later
And boom life window
solemn delta
Ah true. Thanks
Get a 30 second life in like 1m exp too 😊
But what did you mean by clever use?
faint flare
By using blood of the dragon at the latest possible inbetween trash
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
And trying to aoe mobs as the tank pulls
solemn delta
Ah yeah blood has no real use on aoe pulls except getting life
So your just saving time
next wind
I'm working on my healer alt and I've been trying to do as much damage as possible, but nearly got my tank dead a couple of times and found it quiet stressful trying to do dmg and switch to heals, for newer players like me - should I keep trying to hit the boss or focus first on heals?
faint flare
And extending the time when you got nothing to hit
next wind
I've watched and read some tutorials and everyone seems to say healers should do as much dmg as possible
next wind
ofc I don't want the party to die, but it's stressful trying to do dmg and healing a lot
faint flare
When you get off global heals, its muuuuuch easier
next wind
what's safe? 70%+?
faint flare
Depending on youe gear and how much you heal for
next wind
WHM btw is the healer I picked up
solemn delta
You can let tank drop lower if he knows how to rotate cds
faint flare
50-70% is a decent start
faint flare
Keep regen on the tank
solemn delta
My mate leaves me at 30-40% 😂
next wind
oh so you use holy above stone or dot?
open coral
On AoE, yes
faint flare
Holy on 2+, 3+ when you get glare
Even then the stun is very useful, basically a free hallowed ground on every pull
next wind
okay
solemn delta
It lasts like 10 seconds!?
open coral
You want to spam about 3-4 Holy to maximize the stun, then jump out and dot things up and (after you have it) hit Assize as well so you can go back to Holy.
solemn delta
The stun
next wind
okay
solemn delta
Jeezo never realised it was so OP my mate just let's me drop 😂
dusky nest
holy is a blessing as a tank
next wind
btw when it comes to cure, cure1 is always the way to go right?
faint flare
Cure 1 is the lowest priority
open coral
C1 is spot heals only
faint flare
Mp is a non issue if you're using lucif on cooldown
next wind
c3 costs 1k mp tho
open coral
C2, Tetra, Afflatus Solace are your top ST heals.
faint flare
Cure 3 is aoe
next wind
sry c2 costs 1k mp
faint flare
You dont use it for single tarfet
open coral
C3 you're mostly going to be using when your party is stacked.
faint flare
And cure 2 is more GCD efficient
open coral
^
next wind
alright, so I shouldn't worry about mp if I use lucid on cooldown right?
faint flare
Medica is aoe healing
open coral
Medica you're almost never going to use.
faint flare
Spam lucid on cooldown at like 90% mp
next wind
oh shit really
faint flare
And you'll never run out
open coral
Once you have Afflatus Rapture, Medica 2, and Assize.
open coral
You won't really need Medica.
next wind
otherwise always c2?
faint flare
Medica is for healing back to back aoe damage when you dont have afflatus rapture or any off globals
solemn delta
Right
shrewd spoke
Hi everyone o/
New player here, I'm not sure how xp in PoTD works : do we have to kill the maximum amount of monsters to maximize xp or is the reward a fix amount at the end?
next wind
atm my strategy was c1, c2 when I get free heal and medica when all party is low
faint flare
Xp is rewarded every 10 floors
next wind
but seems its not efficient
faint flare
Free cure is a noob trap
next wind
okay lol
open coral
For lower levels that's not a bad strategy, Bruce, but Freecure is kind of whatever.
faint flare
As i said, white mage has infinite mana
open coral
It's nice if you're super low on MP and Lucid still isn't up (and you don't have other options), but otherwise nah
next wind
I'm 45 on my whm rn but I rather practise good rotation
faint flare
And free cure is very unreliable
open coral
Never try to bait for Freecure
shrewd spoke
@faint flare so the xp we gain for each kill still matters, the more we kill the better?
faint flare
Spamming cure 1 isn't gonna help much when the tank is.mass pull
@shrewd spoke no, kills dont matter
next wind
yea I noticed lol
faint flare
Its set xp
next wind
that's why I was so stressed, but I was worried c2 would drain mp
open coral
Don't worry about draining your MP
faint flare
Thats why people speed run it amd kill as little as possible
open coral
Hit Lucid if your MP drops to 50% or lower.
shrewd spoke
@faint flare oh ok, I was confused because we can see xp gain at each kill, thank you!
faint flare
Killing excess is a waste of tine
open coral
You'll be fine unless your tank is complete garbage.
faint flare
That xp for whem you're inside potd
solemn delta
That's just leveling inside
shrewd spoke
I see
next wind
that's cool, I'll practise c2 + c3 for aoe for now only and keep lucid on cooldown
solemn delta
Think you get to 60 in potd?
open coral
Also, make sure that once the tank has aggro on everything, you hit them with Regen to help as well.
next wind
thanks a lot 🙂
open coral
Just keep Regen rolling on the tank when in combat
faint flare
Only use ot when everyone is stackrd up
open coral
C3 has the same range as Medica
proud willow
uhhhh
faint flare
No
next wind
alright, so when all party gets hit its more efficient to heal each individually?
faint flare

Cure 3 is like 5y
open coral
Urgh, that doesn't show the range.
faint flare
And medica is 16
next wind
open coral
Oh, you're right
faint flare
When multiple people are hit and are spread out, use medica
next wind
open coral
I only use C3 or Medica when my party is stacked, so the range never made a difference.
next wind
yea that looks like a better idea okay thanks
open coral
Since Medica is me-centered.
faint flare
If only a single dps gets hit, just slap a regen on them
Regen is the most cost efficient heal
open coral
I'll use Assize/M2/Rapture on preference for when my party's spread out.
next wind
lol okay off to practising
open coral
Yeah
faint flare
Lowkey yes
open coral
Yeah
open coral
Healers have to be able to keep track of the HP of 8 players, mechanics, relative positioning of everyone in the party, and their mana.
next wind
haha I decided to do a support alt and been recommended a healer first
golden trout
I thought everyone knew healing was harder
open coral
And have to be able to adjust to Things Going Wrong on the fly.
Healing is the most dynamic and least rotational role.
next wind
I'll stick to it anyway, I do have a gladiator at lvl30 already too, but I'll stick with the healer for now
it's nice when going from MCH with 20min queue to 30s queue lol
open coral
You can buy Scaevan weapons for poetics in Rhalgar's Reach.
faint flare
Unless your gear is really shit, dont bother with NQ gear at 70+
solemn delta
Yeah that's my problem mate I'm 78 with 400 ilvl gear
Hitting like a wet noodle lol in 77 dungeon
open coral
Farm the level 75 and 77 dungeons for gear upgrades.
faint flare
Instead of helping
open coral
Just run them repeatedly until you get gear.
open coral
Just get to 80 and (assuming you've gotten far enough in the MSQ), just pick up your free left side 420 gear.
solemn delta
I've only got 1.4m and I need to buy neo stuff
I've done Eden so that's 4 480 pieces
solemn delta
Yeah and I've got 2k Phantasmmagoria
open coral
Do your roulettes and Pixie beast tribe stuff and you're done.
capping Phantasmagoria isn't hard.
solemn delta
Omg pixie been forgetting
Thank god you reminded me before reset lol thanks
Nah its easy when your on your 80

are there things like guilds in this game ?

Yes, they are called Free Companies, or FC for short

You get some buffs while in one, depending on what they put up
Usually xp of some kind

They're talking about stances
You bounce between fire and ice stance
You stay in fire to spam as much fire as you can

what is stance? sorry again i am on day 3 only
faint flare
Astral fire and umbral ice

When you get fire 3 and blizzard 3, you use those in place of transpose

when should i throw in a damage over time? beginning I think
i only have lightning atm
mint adder
ah right that makes sense
faint flare
You can sneak 1 thunder in during fire without losing a fire cast
If you need to refresh
mint adder
and I just got Scathe. I guess I musunderstand it because it seems useless. just a little (10% ) more than fire 1 if it procs, and only 20% chance to proc
and same mp
sick zenith
Dont worry about using thunder on anything smaller than bosses and tough enemies though
faint flare
Scathe is very very rarelt used
mint adder
I see
sick zenith
Scathe doesnt have a wind up time, so you can move and cast it at the same time
faint flare
Only.really for extreme movement when you have no firestarter/Thundercloud/ other instant casts
sick zenith
Itll come in handy low levels but phases out of use
mint adder
Andd addle lowers INT and MIN by 10%, is that anti magic?
faint flare
Yes
sick zenith
I never use that
faint flare
It reduces damage magic attacks do
Very useful
In party content
And close to near mandatory in higher end content
mint adder
Ah ok, thanks guys
sick zenith
Sleep is if you get overwhelmed by mobs
Sleep the batch then pick one off to kill at a time

sleep works on eeryone, right? Is there a way to see the AOE?

Its a tight circle

So wait, summoner and scholar have the same base class?
mint adder
trying to extract the mana
sick zenith
Weird
polar hound
Wouldnt worry about soulbinding stuff so early on.. you'll replace gear fast as you progress thru msq
faint flare
You can use spiritbond potions to raise the rate but dont worry about it
zinc orbitBOT
hasty spade
OK so I sold a few pairs of Classic specs to make some gil
Anything else to do for cash while I wait for my specs to sell?
faint flare
Spiritbond is primarily for non combat materia
As the game literally throws you combat materia out the ass
polar hound
The materia you get wont be worth anything at lower levels, plus you generally dont meld materia until max level because its all replaced
solemn delta
I'm assuming you can't get duplicates running the same dungeon?
Not got any yet and my luck is bad lol
faint flare
They can drop but you cant receive duplicates
solemn delta
Yeah at end
faint flare
The automatic gear drop will give you a piece you dont have yet

Always be something you don't have. Even weapon?

guys as a first gathering profession (no previous experience with anything other than dps/heal/tank), would you say fishing or mining is easier? Also, in terms of gil making, which one is more profitable?
next wind
really
so gathering is where the money is then?
does it require a lot of investment to level up?
faint flare
99% of fish have no use
It needs abit of investment for gear
Unless you level crafters alongside it
next wind
no crafters, I mean if it's under 200k or smth then it's fine
Even 500k lol. If it makes good money selling mats later
faint flare
It gets bit pricy higher up but you can make some money back if you find a good mat to sell depending on market
next wind
I noticed my retainers started to be way way more profitable past 50lvl
solemn delta
Right so pixie quests are synced to your level. My friend is on BRD all 70 gear said he's 2 shotting the destination mobs and the reputation creature. It took me about 3 rotations on DRG.
He's on the pure wind up isn't he 😂
faint flare
They do sync though, the mobs that spawn are your level
Make sure gear isn't too trash
solemn delta
His gear is lower he's just sticking to roulettes lol I don't even know if my SAM at 490 would 2 shot them lol
faint flare
If he has scaevan then he should be finr

anyone able to explain how glamour plates work? i've tried setting them up but i can't use any of my outfits

yeah i'm at the dresser but i can't set anything

into the dresser or the armoire?

if I try my machinist gear on my whm it won't work

is it possible to set up 2 different outfits for one set? i.e one outfit for 1 healer and second outfit with same gear for second healer
