Can i "outlevel" a zone? Or does it scale with my level?
leaden ginkgo
No.
faint flare
You can outlevel stuff
carmine gazelle
@leaden ginkgo jenova and siren
leaden ginkgo
There is no scaling in the overworld.
faint flare
Solo instances and dungeons will sync you back down

Jenova is best

Alright. I keep an eye on it. Thanks

nova umbra
am I just unlucky with scholar players, or do scholars as a job actually kinda suck compared to white mage and astrologian?
faint flare
Unlucky
Scholar needs good use of their various resources
To be effective
Good fairy and aetherflow management and stuff
nova umbra
like, we couldn't even pull more than 1 group of mobs
sick zenith
For the archmage title do i need to get scholar and summoner to 50
twilit arch
if you level one, you level the other
sick zenith
Really?
twilit arch
because they both are from the base class Arcanist
faint flare
Yes
sick zenith
This class is weirder the more i learn about it
nova umbra
yeah, like gladiator and paladin are the same level
sick zenith
So you just get 2 soul gems?
twilit arch
ye
sick zenith
Gotcha
faint flare
@nova umbra scholars kit is the most effective when mass pulling so you've had some bad scholars
twilit arch
just gotta keep in mind that you have to do both of their job quests
sick zenith
Ok I will
sick zenith
I mostly want the archmage title but ill keep that in mind in the long run
static yacht
IMO scholar's kit is most effective end game*
in the 50-60 span if you run out of aetherflow due to a poorly geared tank your only hope is to spam adlo

is there a way to quickly sell junk items in the inventory to the npc vendors? or is the only way just selling it one by one?

One by one

aw okay thanks
indigo orbit
Almost every item in the game has some kind of use
So you couldn't really just auto sell
There's no greys like in WoW
The closest thing would be the allaghan pieces

Only trash items are the allagan gold stuff

there's one cutscene that the blade of light is based on what weapon your current job is using, other than that its not specific to your job at all @leaden ginkgo
leaden ginkgo
There isn't a setting to deselect the thing you choose to do in the duty finder after doing it is there? FAR to many times have I been forced to do something twice in a row... xp
and it's too difficult toremember to look
faint flare
Gotta manually deselect
hoary storm
proud willow
from a usability standpoint, it is probably correct for S-E to try to stop that from happening
I see it a lot
maybe it should deselect everything when you unlock a new duty, as that's not going to happen a whole lot, and you're very likely to immediately queue for that duty

does anyone know what the headgear is?
twilit arch
its from y'shtola's outfit on mogstation, the brave new world one
strong sphinx
When you buy mounts form the mogry station, there some that go "for character" and the other that go to "service-account" (not sure if thats the correct term in english, since im playing in german) Where exactly will the item appear to be claimed ingame?
granite bluff
ty kael bringing me hopes to this game
twilit arch
@strong sphinx all mogstation items are mailed to your via the mogmail
The difference between those is that some of them are for single character
and some are account bound, meaning they get mailed to all characters on your account
strong sphinx
I bought that Cloud Bike xD Tho I did not receive the mail via mogmail yet
leaden ginkgo
@hoary storm yes, but I have to manually use clear selection, and theres no way for me to easily know that I should XP
twilit arch
account bound items can take longer to be mailed to you
strong sphinx
ahhh okay!
twilit arch
can also go to the mail moogle and hit the "request delivery" button
strong sphinx
alrighty, did
carmine gazelle
can somone help me learn dk

@twilit arch Oh also, do I have to connect my square enix account with that "PlayOnline" thing to receive that mount?
queen cove
can you see online players in a cross world linkshell?
I transferred worlds and would like to stay in contact with my old fc

My account-wide purchases generally take around 30 minutes to an hour to arrive in the mail
tardy nest
So this may not be a question you guys get everyday, but this morning when i was on i disconnected albeit quite often but the last time i disconnected I couldnt log back in. I had went to the mogstation to see if it was a payment issue and it stated "This account is currently suspended" I will admit i did throw a "f***" down yesterday but i dont think it wouldve got me banned because it was not directed towards anyone. Other then that i can't really think of anything that wouldve gotten me suspended, i am aware how strict the policies are but even then i cant say i really "disturbed anyones play sessions" as in TOS. I sent a support ticket early in the morning though still havent even gotten a automated message, went to call them up 30 mins ago and nothing the support center is closed due to "holidays" which i am assuming is because of the current state of the world. So i am conflicted as to what i should do, my account is suspended and I was never even given a reason as to why. Though i suppose patience is probably going to be the key to this one due to everything going, i really cant help but think this is slightly unfair. Does anyone know if there is a absolute way to check for account suspension reasons? Or is that a no go? I hear when you do something bad you get sent to a jail to speak to a GM but that was never the case for me.
sage plaza

jade quartz
Check your emails, sometimes the suspension notice arrives a bit after you actually get suspended.
echo tapir
doubt it was related to breaking tos anyway
jade quartz
Did you buy your game key from an official source?
tardy nest
Sadly there were no emails at all, not even in the spam folders.
Yea actually ive been in posession of shb for a year now and 3 years since ive owned arr
Got the expansion keys off the SE website
jade quartz
stay patient for emails, and try to contact their support via email. While their live chats etc. are currently in very limited operation, email still works though it'll probably be a slow process
tardy nest
Yea, figures. Patience is definitely going to be the way to go, nothing else i think i can really do about it.

Can someone help me pick a server? im NA and looking to do casual/semi-hardcore raiding
jade quartz
Server doesn't matter as content is done cross-server. Only datacentre really matters.
gloomy scroll
this may be a little weird, but I once resolved the dx11 error by not changing my audio driver when the game started
coral venture
is there LFG discord server?
jade quartz
Crystal has a lower population of serious raiders. You can still succeed there but you'd probably be better off in Aether or Primal.
gloomy scroll
i noticed that when I had the game open, and switched from speakers to headset, the game gave me that error for awhile
coral venture
most of them ask for raids, i want a group for farming dung to level up..
echo tapir
farming?
gloomy scroll
uh best bet might just be to /sh in limsa asking for a fc that'll have members who want to farm/level with you
jade quartz
Queue up or do PotD
warped nest
i noticed that when I had the game open, and switched from speakers to headset, the game gave me that error for awhile
XIV has very bad audio code
coral venture
i bought the game with expansion and i haven't reached lv 80 + my subscription is about to end lol
warped nest
You want to start the game with your audio setup ready
gloomy scroll
yeah that was when i was first playing the game
jade quartz
Having a group to do dungeons with isn't likely to be very efficient, as there's no way you're going to all stay at exactly the same exp threshold all the time.
Therefore you'll get out of level range with each other.
gloomy scroll
i realized when my ex-static/friend told me about it
warped nest
You can make quick groups in PF: doing this dungeon 3 times for exp
coral venture
i'm doing fates while queuing for dungeons but the queue is taking for ever
warped nest
Not easy to find permanent groups
gloomy scroll
do palace of the dead/heaven on high to skip dps queues
coral venture
same issue
coral venture
the queue + palace is giving a lot less xp
gloomy scroll
it gives you less per run, but the time you wait to get into the instance is way faster than a normal dps dungeon/roulette queue
so you can just run potd more often
jade quartz
Palace is generally better exp given that it doesn't have long dps queue times.
gloomy scroll
granted exp for that falls off when you hit 60
which people do heaven on high from 61-70
twilit arch
61*
warped nest
Potd/hoh is good if your roulette/dungeon have significantly worse queue time

Just make sure to compare the price of 6 Demicrystals (3,000 Gil) to the topsoils
And see what sells better
static pasture
aah just check the sale history n stuff?
twilit arch
ya, its extra gil for basically no work
obsidian patio
It’s basically a weekly vendor that buys items for higher prices
twilit arch
even if you're not using demicrystals to donate, you can use any allagan pieces you may've gotten from quests or ventures for extra gil
obsidian patio
At max ‘rank’ it’s 40k Gil a week with items selling to them at double the vendor price
Which translates to a free 20k Gil every week
static pasture
im gonna pay the enclave a visit i think
but ill definitely check the

does it matter which soil i go for?

static pasture
aaaah theres like... guaranteed a house on each ward if not 5+ per ward on spriggan
obsidian patio
@mental swallow depends on the content you’re trying to get people for. If it’s just general overworld stuff like story/fates it’s not that likely. :/
You can always try the party finder as that’s viewable from every server on your datacenter
mental swallow
Ah ok thanks!
static pasture
which is the most popular housing ward on average? or say gilgamesh
jade quartz
Not-Goblet.

How does snapshotting work if you use a buffed skill to reapply a previous unbuffed dot
Will it make the previous unbuffed dot a buffed dot?
faint flare
Overwrites the unbuffed dot when you apply the new one
warped nest
Overwrites
faint flare
Using a buff skill after applying a dot doesn't affect the dot
You want to buff before doing dots
topaz scroll
Nice! Thank you guys 😄
faint flare
Generally
topaz scroll
But hitting with a buffed dot skill will overwrite the unbuffed dot right?
Just incase i forget to buff my dot the first time lol

You'll overwrite anytime you reapply
Regardless of buffs or not
There's no true extension skill anymore

Nothing truly extends dots
Everything just reapplies
And it will apply with whatever buffs/debuffs are up
And retain that state until next application

If you boost your character to 70 with a tales of adventure you dont automatically do all scenario based quests allowing you to mount and dye etc right? Youd have to buy a Scenario skip ontop of it for that aswell right?

job skip does not complete any thing main scenario related
you have to buy the scenario skip for that

if you dye one plate, it doesn't affect any other plate

hi there finally nearing the end of shb, what goals should i aim for endgame wise?

or its just not a priority for them because non-unique minions can be traded anyway, so if you already have it, you won't be able to use it and can just sell it

That's the point. I don't like wasting my gil

i assume you mean the tooltip? @real vortex

Going to sell them again will take time
And i plan to buy a large quantity of minions

Guys, how would someone go about getting AF3 gear if they got a level boost? Is it even possible?
twilit arch
af3 is on the calamity salvager
you can find one in any of the three starting cities, they're near the mail moogles
with exception of ul'dah, they're in the area between the weaver's guild and the goldsmith's guild
urban pewter
What's the calamity salvager?
twilit arch
an npc that allows you to purchase back unique quest rewards
whole wasp
its a NPC that helps you get back achievement/quest/job equipments
twilit arch
like af1/3
urban pewter
Even if i never technically recieved them due to level boost?
twilit arch
yes
urban pewter
That's awesome

the job quests are marked as completed so you would be eligible to get them

so im trying to download the game back but it wants my one time password that i cant obtain on my phone
because the phone reset it

Thats something they give or i wrote down?
twilit arch
you should've been given an emergency password when you signed up for the OTP
and the app tells you to make sure you write it down so in case of an emergency or you lose access to the phone or app, you can remove it from your account
otherwise you have to contact support to get them to remove it
neat notch
arent they closed

atomic jetty
While in lvl 50 and 60 dungeons, I have issues in pulling more than 1 pack of enemies as I feel limited in my defensive cooldown for my drk, any tips?
I also probably just suck at tanking
little swift
Cycle your defensive cools downs
This includes arms length and reprisal
Upgrade your gear if its not up to speed for those levels
atomic jetty
Alright I did do that in satasha hard and I pulled around 6-7 enemies and I died, idk if it’s my bad rotation or the healer did not heal well, I guess the better question is how do you gauge how many enemies you should pull? And gear is not an issue as I am lvl 62 and doing a lvl 50 dungeon
whole wasp
you can start by pulling small and ramp up as comfortable until the healer cant keep up anymore
or you can start big and pull smaller if you die
little swift
As as tank you should also try avoiding avoidable damage (I know this is an obvious one)
Ground telegraphed aoes are things that will suddenly burst you if you eat too many
Don't stack all of your defensive cooldowns together
Use them one after another to prolong the duration of you taking less damage
If you're in a 60 dungeon make sure to use abysmal drain and salted earth as well
Low blow is a defensive as well
Stunning something means its not hitting you
atomic jetty
Yeah okay I try and do that and use soul eater and abysmal drain to recover some hp, I guess I will just try pulling some more mobs tomorrow and see how things go
little swift
Pace yourself maybe your healer isn't comfortable either
Communicate and hope that yout healer will talk back
atomic jetty
Also is it me or does drk not do as much dmg for aoe and squishier than pld at lvl 60?
Yeah I will try, the healer did not talk at all throughout the run
twilit arch
drk definitely feels a lot squisher below 70
little swift
You have 4 aoe abilities at 60
twilit arch
since you're missing the blackest night

But you do lack tbn

which is probably one of your strongest defensive cds

so i bought a server transfer so i could play with my new friends and ig i didn't see where it said you couldn't get road to 70 through transferring do you think support could revert it and give me a refund?

"Couldn't get it"?
real thicket
sorry road to 70
little swift
I'm not really grasping your issue with the transfer. Would you mind saying it again
Oh
I see
real thicket
yeah..
little swift
Yeah you only get road to 70 via new character creation on that preferred server
You can try submitting a ticket. But as we do not represent SE we won't be able to give you a definite answer regarding your situation
real thicket
yeah

Give it a try anyways

i wouldn't get your hopes up tho

zinc orbitBOT

How long are those suspensions
jade quartz
Can be 3, 10 or 20 days.
Based on the severity of the violation + taking into account the player's history of violations.
During the suspension They review your account to determine whether your account should be permabanned.
leaden ginkgo
@jade quartz it said "minimum" 3 days for me atm

Have a friend based in taiwan (from New York/USA) who purchased game last night. Got the key all fine - after a few hurdles.. made an account. Cannot for some reason use the key to activate his purchase on the account without getting errors. Has anybody else ever encountered this? Or know of the reason why/a solution? Seeing as he bought the base game + all expacs and sent a ticket in with nothing more than an auto response thought I’d ask you guys in here 🙂
twilit arch
what error is he getting
warped pawn
bitter plaza
I am not 100% certain but you can use regular skills and abilities, so I don't see why not
crimson wind
Do Wind Sprites indicate there's a current nearby?
bitter plaza
an aether current?
crimson wind
Yes
bitter plaza
no, they don't
obsidian wren
You can use the aether compass in your key items to locate nearby aether currents @crimson wind
I'd recommend putting it on one of your hotbar slots until you got all of em
crimson wind
I know but I was wondering
obsidian wren
Elementals just show up where they'd "naturally" appear in xiv lore

I googled how to make npc dialogue bigger for ps4 , but the fix doesn't work anymore (virtual mouse mode right click). does anyone know if there's another way

roulettes then dungeon spam, FATES/beast tribe while queueing
scenic orbit
I'm running out of space in inventory, what do you guys recommend I discard?
Or should I have some sort of bank now that I can make use of..
echo tapir
your retainers are the bank.
scenic orbit
I don't think I talked to any retainers yet
obsidian patio
Check for items that have a “shop selling price” listed. That means it can be bought from a vendor somewhere and is generally cheap to get back
Most early monster materials can be bought from vendors if needed
dense cloud
Is there any point to leveling CUL desynth?
obsidian patio
some fish have special desynths like glamour items, but a majority, if not all of them, are ARR fish
So you only really need like 140 desynth for most of the good stuff
dense cloud
then what is the incentive?
obsidian patio
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe if Water shards/crystals/clusters sell very high on your server while fish are dirt cheap?
dense cloud
eh
i think i lose more money on bait
and fees
im at desynth 200 from getting FSH relic lol
scenic orbit
There are all these chocobo skills and commands. Does it use any of these automatically or does the game expect people to make new hotbars for it?
twilit arch
they're used automatically
scenic orbit
Oh that's pretty dope

As a white mage healer, what category do you think I should make mine?
twilit arch
healer or attacker

Heya guys, yesterday I wasn't able to do Titan Extreme (first time) as the duty never "popped".
A few friends advised me that non roulette content sometimes has big waiting periods.
With that being said, I would like to do things "properly" atleast once, do you believe I'd have better luck making a party finder group or is duty finder the best?
twilit arch
You're more likely to find people to do the old Extremes thru party finder, or you can do it unsync solo when you're like 60+
arctic gust
its sad to say but at this point in the game, it may be much easier to get it done through Party Finder with an undersized party if you just need the clear (and/or farm the pony)
native whale
Okay, I'll keep that in mind, thank you!
And yeah, I got some offers to just Undersize it, but I feel like it'd be a shame to just speed through content like that, atleast once is my rule ahah
green grail
5.3 will introduce a new "difficulty" level of unreal, where old content will be tuned up to current level cap so you can sorta experience it as it was intended
slate arrow
good luck finding a party to do it synced then
green grail
except it'll be like one fight at a time and they'll cycle through them
but it's close enough really
native whale
That does sound cool, any idea when 5.3 drops?
slate arrow
a month or two
oak ice
Corona delays as with everything
arctic gust
tbh, im not sure it'll be added in 5.3..
slate arrow
since the irregular tomestone event usually drops only a few weeks before patch
arctic gust
exactly for the reason @oak ice mentioned
slate arrow
no they're pretty good about adding everything they bring up with the live letter
it's why 5.3 was delayed in the first place
polar hound
i'd suggest healer for the Chocobo at first...incase you level alts etc also
twilit arch
if its mentioned in the Live letter, its being released as part of that patch cycle, unless they state otherwise
so unreal is coming with 5.3, though whethers its part of 5.3 itself or a 5.3x patch is a different story
polar hound
first one being Shiva iirc
vagrant copper
I probably missed something since it's almost 2 am... how does a WHM actually get lillies? I got the flower gauge now but I don't have any abilities that add lillies.
scenic orbit
Where can I go to get my retainer? I know I unlocked it but I never did bother with getting one
polar hound
every 30s in combat, Corska. In your actions and traits, at the bottom is the job gauge help
arctic gust
@scenic orbit Retainer vocates in main cities, usually near markets
slate arrow
you can hire a retainer by going to a retainer vocate anywhere but the ShB city state
arctic gust
easiest to find imo is Gridania, as she is right in the middle of the market stalls
scenic orbit
Yeah I'm in gridania now
Does it actually matter what my retainer looks like or is it all just personal pref?
polar hound
personal pref
arctic gust
just aesthetic
polar hound
there are retainer fantasias, some people use retainers as a means to look at races they're interested in making because retainer fantasias are cheap
but making an alt is more efficient for that imo
arctic gust
what will matter more is what job you give them later when you unlock their ventures. as some jobs gives you specific "loots"
forest lark
Wouldn't it be cheaper to make a new char with race u want and try playing with it
polar hound
Plus you can see the emotes and such, yeah. I've just heard quite often that people do the retainer fantasia way, too..maybe they just wanna see their character with different colored eyes,etc?
echo tapir
people put their old selves as the retainer sometimes
crimson wind
Whens next DRK quest after 63?

tropic summit
Am I right in thinking that a collectible item is useless unless there's a posting for it in Rowena's tab?
tropic summit
Alright, thanks. That's gonna clear out a lotta inventory space 
warped nest
Or don't
tropic summit
I was thinking of holding onto it but I think the collectability is too low anyway
so I was hoping I could trade it even for some scraps of scrips
scenic orbit
What retainer names can be taken?
But they are just retainers why are the names locked -_-
native ingot
I have a goldsmith lvl 76 and want to make some Gil any tips
polar hound
Retainer names are used on the market boards as they sell your items
scenic orbit
What are your retainers called?
vagrant copper
I just mash the keyboard for mine
scenic orbit
But they are your family!
burnt hawk
It is possible to add friend from other server ?
oak ice
Yes
burnt hawk
How ? Cause when I search their name they do not appear
vagrant copper
I think you have to be on the same server first but yes
polar hound
Theyre more like..servants
oak ice
You can make a private party finder and have them join
burnt hawk
Oh I see
So If I meet a cool dude in duty from another server adding him randomly is quite hard ? :/
oak ice
But yes, going to his server and just right clicking his name would work
No, go to the contacts list
It shows the last 50 people you were in a group with
burnt hawk
Social (O) ?
oak ice
You can click on the social menu button in the lower right of the screen
burnt hawk
Once In it where can I find the last 50 people I was partying ?
willow tulip
hi! i already arrive at the high-end of the game, and idk what do to exactly xD I just do roulettes to recollect more phantasmogoria and allegorys for all the gears, and every tuesday do EDEN for gear too... Help pls?
oak ice
He's likely offline if it says that
slate arrow
that's it
oak ice
Can only add friends who are online
burnt hawk
I see, thanks you
arctic gust
regarding adding friends cross-world. you have to run a duty together in order to appear on the "contact" tab then add friends from there, or use world visit and add friends while on their world
burnt hawk
Got it, thanks you o/

There's a certain kind of currency you get for doing hunts, other than Allied Seals
I don't remember the name of it
zinc orbitBOT

Centurio

Right
I don't have those unlocked
Is that a shadowbringers thing? Or can I get that now? I'm at the end of stormblood
left cedar
Where?
polar hound
Shb hunt currency are called sack of nuts
vagrant copper
There's the Forgotten Knight in Foundation if that's what you're thinking of Xaviell
They're just random things to sell for gil, Amazik
arctic gust
Centurio Seals
scenic orbit
Why would people buy them on the market? 😒
polar hound
Yeah that sounds right, Corska
left cedar
I'll try forgotten knight
arctic gust
sell to merchant for gils
vagrant copper
I'd guess either something with alts or RMT 🤷♂️
scenic orbit
Ok
left cedar
They're not in my currency tab yet so I'm wasting them every time I do a hunt so I wanted to fix that
arctic gust
ppl put it on market board for the occasional world transfer people, cause you can only transfer a limited amount of gil
left cedar
Is it the clan hunt board?
polar hound
There should be a blue quest there
left cedar
Cuz it says I can't accept anything
polar hound

scenic orbit
What merchant do I go to? Any seller for any thing?
Like I'm at the independent jeweler right now. I can sell all my stuff to him?
And get the same amount as if I sold to a diff merchant
dire marsh
yes Amazik
arctic gust
@scenic orbit any vendor will buy anything
warped nest
That's your opinion on Huton
The dev can make it faster, but to balance it out, they would have to make your individual hit weaker
leaden ginkgo
Hows the pvp state in this game rn, i remember it being absolutely abyssmal two years back
arctic gust
honestly.. @thorny spruce i disagree.. if it got any faster, it would make the rotation hard to keep up. its setup this way as to not impede on the overall rotation as well as for balance issues
scenic orbit
Thx
polar hound
Pvp is...pvp. its not great, not the worst. Definitely not a focus of most/the majority. When the moogle tome event comes on the 18th, i presume there will be lots qing for hidden gorge/rival wings for them
scenic orbit
What are your opinions on different dyes? Should I hold onto them or sellem on the market
obsidian wren
Lotta dyes you can buy from npc vendors for cheap
arctic gust
depends which. if you get the multi-purposed dyes (with a green background for their icons) you might wanna hold onto them as they are utterly expensive on market board
obsidian wren
Believe all non-multi purpose dye can be either bought from vendors or crafted?
obsidian patio
yep.
obsidian wren
If you got a lv 20ish doh and dol crafting them is super simple
obsidian patio
Most multi-purpose dyes are pretty cheap, at least in comparison to the more expensive ones like Pure White/Jet Black
arctic gust
not all can be crafted. but those non-craft are usually very cheap to a vendor.. other than the multi-purposed
Pure white/Jet black counts in the multi-purpose
obsidian wren
Multi purpose are only from ventures iirc
arctic gust
cause they are only gotten through retainer venture or bought on mogstation
obsidian wren
The tradable ones at least
Can buy non-tradable on mog station or using chocobo feathers from recruitment
arctic gust
@obsidian wren yes basicly the "Multi-purpose" is the tradable versions of the dyes you can buy on mogstation and only obtained by retainer ventures
native ingot
I reached level 80 on goldsmith what should I be making for gil
arctic gust
last tier accessories, penta meld for raiders
native ingot
Last tier accessories sell for dirt cheap
arctic gust
sadly GSM isnt as much a good moneymaker as it used to be.. more profitable are Alchemy and Culinarian now
native ingot
Also where can I find people who want melding
arctic gust
i guess it varies on ever servers. usually i'd say Eulmore(raiders)/Limsa(raiders killing time RP'ing)
but with the adding of materia melder NPCs, ppl dont really look for melds now, they just pay gil for it
native ingot
And how do I approach them
arctic gust
or buy acc already melded
polar hound
It does
arctic gust
yes MB will show when an item is melded
native ingot
Where
arctic gust
i cant link a screenshot as i play on PS4
polar hound
In the listing itself provided they have melds on them
arctic gust
but there is a "tab" in the pricing window where it says Materia
it will appear on that list like a 5 under the materia for a penta-melded
arctic gust
Neo-Ishgardian i think is still the highest tier craftable
obsidian patio
You craft it into a complete roll to use at an orchestrion.
It basically plays music of where it comes from.
That one dropped from the last boss of Sastasha.
arctic gust
@scenic orbit that is used to craft the orchestrion Roll, if i recall this one is obtained by clearing a dungeon
scenic orbit
Oh cool.
polar hound
Won't be worth anything considering the source, if you wanna clear a inventory spot otherwise
arctic gust
its doesnt sell for jack, just give it to vendor NPC, they will pay you more than marketboard xD
scenic orbit
Dude looks cool
arctic gust
looks like the Lv 52 or 56 gearset
jaunty matrix
how is gs calculated is it just average gear-level of your gear or are some gear like chestpiece affects it more
polar hound
Theres an item level on each piece of gear towards the top
arctic gust
i still prefer my old style using the Lv 54 crafted tank set as glamour 😛
obsidian patio
@jaunty matrix average, but weapons count twice if you're not a paladin or crafter/gatherer
arctic gust
the overall item level is based on the average of all your gears pooled together.. no items balances more than another
jaunty matrix
ty
obsidian patio
or more accurately, off-hand doesn't count if your class can't use it
arctic gust
BUT.. for tanks, your weapons' ilvl counts VS the DPS's weapon's ilvl for aggro
so for tanks weapon is priority to upgrade
wintry chasm

unreal aspen
what class will give me the same existential fear and distress as smn
scenic orbit
Is esuna worth using? I mean it only takes away one status effect
Usually people will have multiple debuffs if any at all i find
polar hound
Yes. That one effect is sometimes Doom.
arctic gust
esuna is really useful
scenic orbit
is the debuff it takes away random?
arctic gust
always the last one applied
scenic orbit
Ah ok
arctic gust
but if target has either paralyze or Doom, you wanna spam esuna until they are removed, especially Doom
polar hound
Cleansable debuffs will have a white bar above their icon indicating that you can esuna it.
arctic gust
however, pay attention to the doom icon, if it doesnt have the blue bar saying it can be dispelled, its because its a "heal to full to dispel" type of Doom
scenic orbit
So many things to cycle through lol
arctic gust
honestly though, esuna cost about nothing and is "nearly" insta-cast so you can spam it all day and remove everything you can
scenic orbit
Alright. I'll try and get used to using it more
Are healers meant to use cure 1 most of all? Or regen
obsidian patio
Cure 1 stops being useful for WHM once you get Cure 2 because WHM has the best mana efficiency of the 3 healers.
polar hound
^
arctic gust
personally when i play healer i only esuna to remove very detrimental effects.. #1 Doom, #2 Paralyze.. pacify of physical DPS and silence off casters
obsidian patio
keep it there for when you get a low level duty
arctic gust
dont remove cause it can still be used and also for those dungeons you will get sync down
scenic orbit
Oh
jagged rune
Guys, does the game download the 20gb "full game update" after you buy the full game or does it download after buying DLCs (Heavensward, stormblood..etc)
Asking for a friend, cuz I remember I downloaded 20gb extra when I bought the game but don't remember if it was just the starter edition that downloaded it or the full edition
obsidian patio
When you register the expansions.
arctic gust
im not sure for PC. as i play on PS
jagged rune
@obsidian patio are you absolutely positive of this?
arctic gust
on PS it only downloads what you bought adding more on purchase
jagged rune
so starter edition won't download anything extra compared to the "trial"?
obsidian patio
Maybe just a few things for the base game, but it shouldn't be anywhere near 20gb
arctic gust
im guessing it will DL a bit more as trial stops around Lv 25-30? so it should DL the rest up to 50
unless they changed the Trials
oak ice
The free trial page says you need 20 GB free storage
lyric warren
does wish list save per server basis like favorite does on the MB?
arctic gust
ok so they changed and loads the full 20gb even for trials now
@lyric warren you mean Mogstation Wishlist?
livid sigil
Am i able to add somone if were in the same data centre but different server
lyric warren
MB market board
arctic gust
MB wishlist is linked to your character's data, it follows your character if you hop server, i believe
@livid sigil yes you can so long as you're on same data center
olive lintel
Whats the best map to spam to farm for the upcoming moogle event?
arctic gust
you might have to either enter a duty together to appear on each other's "contact" tab of social. or use world visit function
oak ice
Make a private party finder
livid sigil
Oh ok thanks was tryna add a friend yesterday and was unable
arctic gust
@oak ice good point, i didnt think of PF 🤣
obsidian patio
@olive lintel with random people probably Orbonne Monastery or Praetorium depending on queue times and clear times.
If you have an organized group of Blue Mages then Aurum Vale is the fastest.
arctic gust
@olive lintel not sure yet.. but usually the most rewarding are the least favored, aka Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium
scenic orbit
Do sidequests that I haven't started yet appear on the map?
obsidian patio
Yep.
note that you have to be in that zone to see sidequests that you can pick up.
scenic orbit
Is this the "zone"?
oak ice
The one below
You can only see the quests available in Steps of Thal, even if you click on the map to move to another area
scenic orbit
Damn. Is there no other way to find side quests than running all over the map lol
oak ice
There is the recommended quest window, but generally not all quests show up there, IIRC
arctic gust
my advice on sidequest.. only do those with a blue + icon, as they unlock content or features. save the regular ones to level alt jobs later. MSQ, first time clears and hunting log should give you more exp than you need
then if you hit a wall where next MSQ is locked til you level, take a few sidequest , but as i recall, you shouldnt need it much
lyric warren
is there chat bubbles above characters that u can enable
obsidian patio
Nope.

What do weavers do?
crimson coyote
does it matter which class i am for unlocking samurai ?
oak ice
Weavers make cloth gear and such
You can level any battle class to 50
proud willow
Doesn't matter
terse flume
Can you max out all three Skilltrees of your Chocobo?
oak ice
Get it to 20
proud willow
At max rank (20) you'll have just enough for all 3 trees
terse flume
okay thanks 🙂
fresh lodge
You need to start using Thavnarian Onions past Rank 10
crimson coyote
chocobos have levels ?
obsidian patio
yes, they rank up when you kill stuff near your level or feed them non-dye foods in a chocobo stable.
agile laurel
i feel i'm having a case of clinically stupid, but where is the pugilists' guild
forest laurel
ul'dah
terse flume
so should i stick until rank 10 to one tree?
agile laurel
yeah i thought it was
arctic gust
Uldah almost right in front of aetherite plaza
surreal lichen
are blizzard/fire2/addle on stuff like blm useless?
agile laurel
was looking indoors, oh well
arctic gust
not useless.. but situational
agile laurel
fire 2 sorta stays useful-ish on leveling/roulettes
i can't say i've used blizzard I in a minute
obsidian patio
Addle is always good when you're doing content that needs it.
it's free damage mitigation on stuff it works on
surreal lichen
Yeah i use addle on bosses but nothing past that
bronze sorrel
addle 
arctic gust
Fire 2 is your goto for AoE damage, blizz only to switch to umbral stance and regen MP
obsidian patio
which is a majority of raidwide damage
bronze sorrel
i love addle
obsidian patio
Fire 2 stops being used at 68 once you get the Trait that lets you Flare twice.
arctic gust
Addle is used vs a magic-base boss to lower the dmg, i'd use it to mitigate tankbusters
faint flare
Or hard hitting room wides
surreal lichen
Ah, only level 44 and no expansion so I'll keep fire2 on then lol
faint flare
As majority are magic
obsidian patio
Blizzard 1 mostly gets replaced by Blizzard 4, but it's nice to use if you ever lose your stacks.
whole wasp
blizzard 3 is the one to press to change phase but it requires a target
arctic gust
or what @faint flare said 👍
obsidian patio
You use Blizzard 1 as filler for your ice phase to make sure you leave it with full MP
zinc orbitBOT
surreal lichen
So, spam fire, use blizzard over transpose and if i cant blizzard i transpose?
faint flare
Cause Fire 2 is prerry pathetic and you have no real reason to go into fire
arctic gust
BLM is my least played job, so im definately not an expert lol.. omni-tank main here
faint flare
Spam fire > bliz 3 to swap > do stuff to wait for mana > fire 3 rinse repeat
surreal lichen
ah i see, thankya :)
bronze sorrel
most of the time addle is better on raidwide damage
bc thats more likely to be magic than tankbusters
arctic gust
for that "do stuff to wait for mana" i'd usually refresh my thunder DoT in that window , when i try to |BLM|
bronze sorrel
ofc u have magical tankbusters as well, but
i think most if not all raidwides in shb are magic
obsidian patio
Basically if it doesn't look like they're physically hitting the target, it's probably magic.
faint flare

last vale
PotD stage 41-50 - if i join random grp, will this grp have 1 heal included? otherwise i can leave directly, because the boss isnt doable w/o
obsidian patio
The boss is doable without a healer. You just need to not get hit by aoes
obsidian patio
getting hit by aoes makes the boss's ultimate move (the purple one) do more damage to the entire group
Play the fight very safe and don't try to greed for damage
last vale
well its kinda annoying that you waste 50min for 41-50 if s1 fails at the boss
mint adder
So I played all the final fantasy games and the enemies are usually strong or weak against elements, not in ff14 though right?
feels weird attacking the fire elemental with fire

lament thorn
holy smokes queuepopped finally
arctic gust
getting hit has a % chance of interrupting
arctic gust
any damage taken actually, has a chance to interrupt
but you can use Surecast to prevent draw-ins/knockbacks as well as interruption
next wind
yea I noticed, I was wondering if it's a good skill to use or not
cuz as a healer my hotbars are filling up quickly 🙂
arctic gust
honestly, you'll wanna save Surecast for specific situations, especially in raids you wanna have it ready for drawn-ins/knockback mechanics
arctic gust
as a tank though its another story.. in dungeon it has another use. for large pulls poping Arm's length is very useful for its secondary effect to inflict slow when struck.
raw solstice
most cases where you get interrupted by damage, it's a case you're not supposed to be taking damage. Which is a pretty rare thing that you'll have to run into, since generally the priority will be using other tools to dodge the avoidable damage instead of just taking it. So it becomes more niche of a thing than using it for knockback/draw-in effects
