lean quest
okay thats very nifty thanks again guys 🙂
raven sage
Depending on the mount the music may just start soft too
crimson wind
No it literally wasn't on
nova umbra
at what level can you get the next blue mage weapon?
raven sage
If you mean the level 60 one you have to finish the carnivale and then finish the story quest after that
slate arrow
1, 50, and 60
raven sage
Then you can buy it from one of the guys
nova umbra
wow that's quite the jump
slate arrow
BLU gets no stats from the weapon
wintry chasm
^
slate arrow
it's just a fancy stick
raven sage
Yeah they pretty much just decided to not leave you with the same one
The road from 1 to 50 is pretty empty anyway
Since you can't do carnivale until 50
quiet crystal
Its more than a stick
You beat up a kraken with that at level 1
No way in hell it's just an ordinary stick
wide hull
Is there like a blue mage lfg discord/linkshell or something?
cold crescent
yooo
i got the gae bolg and its a little useless rn since its weaker than the weapon i have and i cant put it in the glamour chest
how do i get the copy that can go in the glamour dresser?
leaden ginkgo
Try the armoire
cold crescent
im in front of it rn, how does it work exactly?
cold crescent
says "no items available"
slate arrow
in order to get a replica you need to do up to the zeta step
leaden ginkgo
In inventory ?
slate arrow
since they weren't added until then
cold crescent
its in my inventory
leaden ginkgo
No idea then
cold crescent
im level 57, when can i do the zeta step?
slate arrow
Albert you can't put any of the zodiac weapons in the dresser
@cold crescent now, if you want to grind for a few weeks 
slate arrow
little swift
The relics themselves cannot be placed into glamour dresser
cold crescent
how do i get some quick allagan tomestones of poetics
little swift
50/60/70 roulette
Trial roulette
Alliance raid and msq roulette for slightly longer ones
pallid eagle
So for machinist what skills should i have in my first bar for leveling to 70+ ?
cold crescent
msq gives 300 i'll do that
little swift
First time bonus hits you with some more too
cold crescent

This might be a silly question but will ask regardless. I am level 30 new player and just joined my first grand company so here are two questions: A)Can I only be recruited by FC that have a specific Grand company banner and B)How the hell do I find a FC to join ^^
pallid eagle
So Heated Split Shot > Slug Shot > Clean shot till 50% then Heat Blast ?
little swift

@leaden ginkgo. 1. No. 2. Try your dc recruitment channel
Or shouting in limsa
gritty oracle
@leaden ginkgo Go to a capital city and within minutes you're guaranteed to either get an unsolicited invite or have someone /shout recruitment
little swift
So Heated Split Shot > Slug Shot > Clean shot till 50% then Heat Blast ?
@pallid eagle maybe also include gauss round amd ricochet since those need to be weaved in during hypercharge
pallid eagle
Ahhh
gritty oracle
Okay so I also only recently unlocked mch and have questions.
- When doing trash, should I use Hot Shot?
- What should I do with my heat while doing trash? Should I overheat and switch to single target? Or as I level, will I get an AoE option to dump heat?
zinc orbitBOT
slate arrow
1:yes
2: yes to the latter
little swift
Hypercharge still increases skill potency
slate arrow
!action Auto Crossbow

warped nest
!action Hypercharge
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
little swift
Use it to weave your ricochets
gritty oracle
Also should my opener be 1 - overheat - Hot Shot - 2 - the direct crit CD - 3, dump ogcd charges as convenient?
When fighting bosses
little swift
You would reassemble hot shot early because it hits harder than combo 3 for while
And then reassemble drill later
Afaik
gritty oracle
Doesn't hot shot have 40 less potency than 3? Iirc 3 has 340 and Hot Shot has 300
warped nest
Hotshot will upgrade to Air Anchor, which will be the same potency as Drill
dense pier
Are Grand Company Leves worth doing?
warped nest
Heated combo 3 is more powerful
little swift
You do them for some select relic weapon stuff
But otherwise no
Only do gatherer crafter leves
little swift
Sounds about right
gritty oracle
!action clean shot

Hmmm
warped nest
Allright
little swift
Maybe were wrong 
crimson wind
Why is no music playing
slate arrow
using reassemble with either before you have drill is still pretty good
crimson wind
No mount music, no city music no nothing
gritty oracle
Did you /bgm off
crimson wind
I'm at Doman Enclave
warped nest
Check your sound settings
crimson wind
Well the music is on but it takes a minute to turn on
gritty oracle
Hmm
orchid condor
I forgot where to get Crystal Sand as a non crafter :x
pallid eagle
What about leveling from 60>80 ?
gritty oracle
Roulettes > highest dg
little swift
For anima?
gritty oracle
Or hoh
orchid condor
@little swift yeah
little swift
Or moonstones from your gc
twilit arch
moonstones generally aren't worth it for their gc cost
orchid condor
@pallid eagle Daily Roulettes, Heaven On High (higher level PotD basically) Highest level dungeon you can do, Trust Dungeons (and level up your npc's as you go for later on)
little swift
I don't recommend the last 2 options because they cost too mucb
twilit arch
honestly better off just farming poetics and using thav mist/ink
warped nest
Roulette for daily bonus
Highest level dungeon (but not 50,60,70)
HoH (60-70) or Trust Dungeon (71+) only if the first two have significantly worse queue time
orchid condor
also as of right now you can do Rival Wings to farm your event Moogle tomes, and its "decent" exp while you're getting the tomes
ive done it so much ive gotten from 74-78
warped nest
If you plan to get more Anima weapon, you might as invest in doh/l
slate arrow
rival wings is love rival wings is life
having crafters at 80: it's absurdly easy to get yellow scrips
little swift
Blue Crafters scrips as the solution is the easiest
orchid condor
@warped nest its funny you say that cause this will be my 4th Anima weapon 
im just....so lazy for Crafters
slate arrow
just do your GC turn ins daily and you'll hit 80 in a month
warped nest
Btw, I have maxed 4 Anima + 2 mid progression
orchid condor
is there an "easiest" DoL/DoH? or are they generally all the same
my progress before i quit x-x
slate arrow
they buffed EXP gains exponentially in 5.1
little swift
They should be leveles together to save money ans gear space
twilit arch
they're all pretty much the same
but that said if you're just going to level 1 for blue scrip farm
warped nest
Hardest imo is Armorer and Fisher. My Armorer and Fisher always need to play catch up
twilit arch
i would probably do alc
twilit arch
alc is the most independent next to cul, but doesn't need quite as many materials as cul for recipes
little swift
/\
slate arrow
Unless you're making books
dreamy sand
so i unsubbed after clearing MSQ of base shadowbringers. how long would it take to catch up to current content if i came back? the ilvl limitations on story related stuff always put me off
warped nest
Catch up with story or with endgame raid?
dreamy sand
story
warped nest
Story will probably take like.. A day
dreamy sand
i recall i was stuck on story progression
warped nest
Normal raid + alliance raid, just a weekend will do
dreamy sand
cause my gear wasnt up to snuff
warped nest
Just do your roulette that rewards tomestone, and voila
dreamy sand
are we on the cusp of more patch content or is it months away?
warped nest
Should be very easy to just do some lvl 80 normal/alliance raid and get enough gears drops
gritty oracle
Are ephemeral nodes like unspoiled except they respawn?
warped nest
5.3 is soon
dreamy sand
that's true
warped nest
But we don't know the exact date
dreamy sand
ah okay
little swift
Will know on next pll
warped nest
Are ephemeral nodes like unspoiled except they respawn?
@gritty oracle yes
As long as you are in the window
You can touch nearby gathering nodes
To get the empheral to reappear
gritty oracle
How man do I need to touch to get the ephemeral to respawn?
gritty oracle
Coolio
gritty oracle
Oh
warped nest
So, if you found a normal node and there is another one 5 steps away, this count as a pair
gritty oracle
Wait aren't HW nodes in three pairs?
warped nest
Just touch 1 of them, don't need to farm
Yup, 3 pairs
You just need to touch 1 each from any two pairs
gritty oracle
Ah
rancid cloak
Guys if i can't afford buying +60 materia what should i do?
slate arrow
don't
rancid cloak
put +40 or that's not worth it
slate arrow
What do you need 60 materia for
gritty oracle
Materia is only useful if you're either endgame or struggling DoH/dol and even then don't buy it off the mb
warped nest
You can get cluster from being Adventurer In Need, then trade that for materia
Or just do level 80 dungeons over and over again
gritty oracle
Wait I misread
I thought you wanted level 60 materia
warped nest
(+60 is VIII right?)
warped nest
"Optimization" is measured by comparing item level first then stat
You want the left side stuff
warped nest
It is more accurate later on
little swift
Theres a lot of all class/disciple of war stuff tanks need to avoid early
warped nest
There are even tanks + lancer/Dragoon gears in low level
twilit arch
its a bit wonky for tanks at low levels
warped nest
Tldr: keep Mythril Gauntlet
twilit arch
because it prioritizes vit, since that's tank's main stat
dense pier
Where is the Inn at Gridania?
gritty oracle
At the airship landing
dense pier
I see it
gritty oracle
Also
Is there a transcript of the big bad's speech at Prae? Like, text transcripts. I can't watch videos atm.
The first one with "how very glib" and "and in this land of creeping mendacity" and "to believe in Eorzea is to believe in nothing"
slate arrow
check Gamerescape
sleek roost
Check your PMs Vie
gritty oracle
Ooh, thanks
shrewd relic
Are the zodiac zenith and aettir lux diff weapons altogether? Like quest chain wise
Or do I have to complete zodiac zeta in order to get aettir lux
fresh lodge
Zodiac is the ARR relic chain, while Lux is the HW relic chain
twilit arch
yes, they're two seperate quest lines
fresh lodge
They're separate chains which don't have anything to do with each other
twilit arch
you can use a zeta to skip the first step of the anima questline
but its not worth making on solely for that
warped nest
That is only done as a lil courtesy for players who have invested the time for Zodiac in ARR back then in 2013/14
If your goal is Anima weapon, just do Anima weapon
shrewd relic
Ahh okay
warped nest
Would you like a video guide on Anima weapon?
shrewd relic
Some fc members said something about doing a lvl 70 quest line I forget what it was
And yess please
twilit arch
lvl 70 relic would be the eureka weapon
unless your fc is talking about the ivalice raids for the lv 80 relic weapon
warped nest
Lvl 80 relic is called Resistance series right?
twilit arch
yes
shrewd relic
Ty for the link!
Which one was the one where I complete the lvl 70 raid and then I’m able to purchase the rest with poetics?
twilit arch
that'd be the resistance weapon relic, lvl 80
shrewd relic
Ooh I see
And once I get these relic weapons, am I able to save diff versions of them?
Like during diff steps for glam purposes
slate arrow
you can buy replicas
robust gazelle
Where do people store all this gear for Glamours and such? I only have PLD at 80 and my Retainer is nearly full, my inventory has a bunch of space taken up, and my Saddlebag is quickly filling up.
slate arrow
which are the same visual model
twilit arch
you can buy replicas of various stages, yes. Though currently there's no replica of the lvl 80 one since we're on the first stage
slate arrow
@robust gazelle are you using your glamour dresser
twilit arch
put items you want to save for glamour into the dresser or armoire
robust gazelle
Considering I’ve never heard of it no lol
slate arrow
otherwise most gear you should junk
twilit arch
both of those items are in the inn rooms at the major cities
you need 1 glamour prism to put items into the glamour dresser
armoire is mostly for event/achievement gear
can also put the lv 45 artifact gear in there
robust gazelle
I blitzed my way to 80 on PLD and leveled two gathering professions to 80. Haven’t even bothered with glamour but it seems like an often mentioned part of the game.
remote lintel
where do you do the thing when you have all the EX borbs
little swift
Idyllshire iirc
shrewd relic
Where do you buy the replicas of the weapons? Calamity salvager?
twilit arch
the lvl 50 replicas are bought from drake in hyrstmill, north shroud. lvl 60 is bought from restoration nodes in azys lla. lv70 is bought from Staelhundr at pier 1 in kugane
warped nest
Take note that for Zodiac, you can only get replica once you finished the whole thing
For Anima, once you move into a new step, you can get replica of the steps you have completed
I assume Eureka is same as Anima
pallid eagle
NM sticking to RDM
obsidian patio
Also for Zodiac, you need to keep the original zeta to get replicas unless you use it to skip the first step of the anima weapon
Anima/Eureka don’t need you to keep the originals
zinc orbitBOT
cobalt quest
Pretty nooby question but I’m doing the botany leves near Brentbrach Meadows and I’m in the green circle with my botany gear but I don’t see any nodes?
The leves are Digging Deep and A Chest of Nuts. There was one node and I started going at it but it doesn’t contribute to the leve quests
twilit arch
you need to initiate the leve. Open your quest journal > click on the leve > click on initiate at the bottom right hand side
cobalt quest
Oh my god. Thanks!
magic light
what's reprise for
obsidian wren
As a quick melee attack for high movement intensive moments in fights, or to delay your melee combo to line up better
hot crane
what people do duty roulette trial for? doesn't seems to even give good exp.
twilit arch
its decent xp for the time invested
obsidian wren
It doesn't give a lot of xp but it's usually pretty fast
obsidian wren
Yeah
hot crane
oh that one is just for allagan tombstone?
obsidian wren
Nraid also gives tomestones iirc
hot crane
ok
twilit arch
its similar to trials, in that its exp isn't that amazing
but its decent for the time invested
since usually they're pretty quick
robust gazelle
I do Trial just because it’s there and the fights are usually quick.
Plus I like some of the Trial fights a lot. Getting the extra Gil and some Tomestones is a plus for a 10-15 minute time investment.
nova umbra
if you need to get a skill from a boss in a dungeon as a blue mage, is there a chance you don't get it?
robust gazelle
If you are not level synced or the boss doesn’t use it for some reason.
shrewd relic
For the resistance weapon, once I complete the quest chain the rest are purchasable through poetics?
How much does each weapon cost?
whole wasp
1000 each
twilit arch
not really
shrewd relic
Hmm I see. And are there really any perks in farming rep for beast tribes? Seems like their exclusive mounts are available through moogletomes
Sry I have a million questions
pallid eagle
Kinda finding machinist alot of fun
twilit arch
the ARR tribes also offer certain crafting materials the higher up you go
so getting their rep up for that can be nice
shrewd relic
So much to do ~_~
dense pier
This Immortal Flame hunting Log is telling me there are level 40 mobs in Centhral Thalanaar. I've ran around the area, all there is are level 9s
twilit arch
which rank?
obsidian patio
@nova umbra if it’s a skill needed for the BLU story it always has 100% learn rate
If not, then it’s 100% if you do the duty synced, and like 10% if unsynced
junior mango
Hey all, where can I pick up lvl 50 quests?
wind kindle
How do you make an item like the headgear to be just a costume that will overwrite the look of your equipped headgear?
So it will show the same headgear no matter what headgear I equip?
shrewd relic
@wind kindle you can use your glamour dresser and save the headgear to a slot
Then overwrite the headgear whenever you upgrade
Or you can just use glamour prisms
unreal aspen
how do i get 450 collectability rating on gathering nodes?
my gear is all lvl 70(63 on accessories)
but i cant get it on even lvl 60 nodes
i tried googling the rotation but everything i found was from like 2015
potent tapir
Uh
unreal aspen
if it helps i use discerning eye and then impulsive appraisal twice then methodical
bc thats what reddit said
but idk if thats up to date
OH WAIT my tools are 60
im an idiot
potent tapir
Discerning Eye -> Impulsive Appraisal -> [did proc Discerning?] -> Impulsive -> [did proc Discerning?] -> Impulsive -> Instinct if you wanna risk it or Methodical
slate arrow
potent tapir
With Utmost Caution if you don't mind the lowered amount gathered
unreal aspen
wait how am i getting more than 3 appraisals in?
potent tapir
Or with Single Mind in addition in order for an extra
unreal aspen
the node wear always maxes after 3
potent tapir
Utmost Caution prevents wear for a single
unreal aspen
AH
thank u
i didnt realize i had that so it wasnt in my hotbar
everything makes sense now lmao
brazen cliff
cynthiais#1:D
twilit arch
you're letting them cast it right?
nova umbra
yeah
twilit arch
just rng then ¯_(ツ)_/¯
nova umbra
I don't have to get hit right
slate arrow
No
twilit arch
nope
slate arrow
Just RNG
twilit arch
just gotta see the cast
potent tapir
B-but!
|| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmf8wsHPCR4 ||
But, yes, it's just RNG
I think even the dungeons work the same way?
potent tapir
Aaah
nova umbra
wait how do you join a synced dungeon as blue mage?
undersized party makes it unsynced right?
twilit arch
yes, but if you go in with a full party, you can queue normally as a blue mage
warped nest
Just join with the full group
twilit arch
you just can't queue up solo
nova umbra
it doesn't have to be all blue mages right?
warped nest
Nope
twilit arch
nope, just a full party
nova umbra
wait, this 1000 needles skill is so broken, I just got it
I'm assuming it falls of real hard later on though
twilit arch
it does, yes
obsidian patio
Yeah it stops one shotting around level 40-ish monsters
And becomes useless once you hit 50
warped nest
It is flat damage
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
So at certain point you will out power it
slate arrow
It's decent with swiftcast but at 50 you can start getting primal skills which are a really powerful birst
nova umbra
what is the best way for me to level blue mage solo?
slate arrow
abuse the swap glitch
cast a spell that goes over the GCD then switch to BLU as soon as it casts
otherwise it's a long and slow road for leveling
nova umbra
what do you mean?
warped nest
Another method is using flying sardine to tag enemy then let your friend (who isn't in your party) kill them
warped nest
If the spell cast time is longer than your global cooldown, it means you can mash gearset button to swap once the spell goes off
Enemy is killed by a spell casted by you when you are in BLU is what the game "see"
nova umbra
why is flying sardine better than using a different skill to tag monsters?
frank anchor
what's the expected roll when doing dungeons/trials? I know I can need if I need it, but if I don't need it, do I pass or greed?
had a group getting mad I greeded stuff because I thought I might use them for alt jobs so wanted to know what the norm is.
slate arrow
it's the only BLU spell without a cast timer
slate arrow
Always greed
unless the party asks for something ahead of time just smash the greed button
potent tapir
I don't recommend following this for low level dungeons where the drops aren't that great, assuming you have good enough gear though
slate arrow
it's not your fault they didn't tell you they wanted something
warped nest
If someone called dibs, and the whole group agreed to let this player need/greed it, then you shouldn't compete
If nobody said shit, then it is their fault
For not calling dibs
warped nest
They can report
potent tapir
Yeah, that's pretty bad mojo if you loot ninja like that when everyone else agrees
slate arrow
warped nest
But no GM will process it
slate arrow
If there's no logs there's no case
warped nest
Assuming that nobody said shit and you just greed as usual
slate arrow
nobody said shit
frank anchor
don't think anybody said anything it was just a random dungeon
twilit arch
if you can greed, then you have every right to greed
slate arrow
You can't get in trouble if nobody said anything in game
warped nest
Then people are being asshat
twilit arch
you can't ninja loot
potent tapir
The really scary ones were where people paid off others to run Copied Factory
And then someone loot ninjas
twilit arch
they're basically just being pissy they lost a roll, nothing else
potent tapir
warped nest
Even if people said it, and you greed anyway, you are basically a prick, but that's not an offense either
potent tapir
Not sure how GM's handle those cases though
warped nest
They probably don't
Do GM even handle those loot master party that just keep loot for themselves?
slate arrow
If there's no chat logs there's no case
twilit arch
if there was no agreement before hand about things, its very unlikely that the GMs will do anything about it
slate arrow
unless you're a big streamer but that's extremely rare
twilit arch
its like people clearing out an FC chest, its your own fault for not making sure permissions were set up properly
spring sun
Wouldn't someone 'needing' something overrule any greed rolls?
twilit arch
yes
warped nest
Yes
slate arrow
yes
spring sun
so if you greed.. and they fail to Need... its their issue anyways 🙂
slate arrow
Need > Greed > No roll
warped nest
Probably on a different job, so they can't need what they wanted
spring sun
ohhh... yeah, different job. I'm still so newbie with that whole multi-role thing.
slate arrow
If they didn't say jack squat they have no reason to complain about not getting something
warped nest
Yeah
twilit arch
even if they did ask, you're not obliged to not roll
and if they really wanted it, they should've queued as that job
potent tapir
Although, there was that dark time in FFXIV's history where everyone was stuck with Greed only in 24's
That was...that was dark
warped nest
It is just courtesy if you let people get something without competing rolls
Conclusion: nothing to worry about no matter what the scenario is
pallid eagle

thick kindle
Hey can someone tell me if you can World visit and attend a wedding of someone that's not on your home server?
nova umbra
is there a way to make it so a ground targetted ability casts at max range?
so like if your mouse goes past the max range and the indicator turns purple, it just casts at max range?
I unlocked loom and I'm spending more time just trying to cast it max range than if I just run over there

nah, gotta move the mouse back until you can

How do I give GC gear for seals? I just unlocked it
but it didnt' say how in the explanation
unreal aspen
it has to be dungeon drop gear or stuff u get from tomestones
also you can check a tab when ur turning stuff in that makes it hide anything you have in a gearset
so you dont accidentally turn in gear ur using
unreal aspen
where it says show all items
theres a dropdown that lets u determine what it shows for submission

You can do it at the golden saucer, southeast circle i believe
There might be a prequest you need to do first over there to unlock it
I also believe judging isnt open until in a couple days
agile laurel
yeah, I think the prequest is called It could happen to you
Also at the gold saucer
Can't say where it is tho
frank chasm
It could happen to you is the quest to get to the gold saucer
agile laurel
Oop

When you talk to him, he'll tell you the theme for the week
agile laurel
oh I see, it's an NPC with a random set of parameters
Depending how many you satisfy, it gives you a 1-100
twilit arch
you either have to guess what is appropriate for which slot, or just wait until someone posts an info graphic on the subreddit/to the !fr command
!fr
zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
like this was last week's theme
nova umbra
what am I supposed to do here? D:
obsidian patio
get a protean crystal from chain-killing enemies or by exchanging an anemos crystal from an NM with Gerolt.
obsidian patio
r/ffxiv
if you mean one specifically for fashion report there isn't any.
but there are dedicated threads on tuesday and friday for the fashion report
frank chasm
Where?
nova umbra
am I doing something wrong?
I killed around 15 of these guys and no protean crystal 😦
obsidian patio
nova umbra
my friend has already gotten like 7 and we're doing it together

RNG. :\
agile laurel
welcome to eureka

but each multiple of 5 on the chain has a better chance
keen cloud
What's the fastest way to lvl up BLU?
obsidian patio
Get a friend and tag mobs in Azys Lla and have them one-shot them
frank chasm
Are they riddles 😮
obsidian patio
just make sure they're not in your party.
kinda, some themes have super obvious tells
agile laurel
Yes and no, they're kinda riddles but the fashion report subreddit post makes it clear to interpret
keen cloud
Ok that's easy, now I just gotta rent a fwend...
agile laurel
'skalla black' 'hmm I wonder what it could be and what colour it could be 
'
obsidian patio
themes give no hints to dye
agile laurel
Eh I never interpret them anyway, I just look at them then go read the subreddit /shrug
my brain is smooth
nova umbra
I feel like I'm missing something...
not one crystal?
also I'm not seeing this chain bonus thing
obsidian patio
you gotta kill stuff fast enough
well, it's a group effort to find the right stuff
Though at this point I think all themes for the item slots have been cycled through so it's more remembering what items are good for what theme
"Coiled Finally" is a theme for items from The Final Coil of Bahamut, AKA the Dreadwyrm gear.
frank chasm
So I have to collect stuff
obsidian patio
if you want the score of 100 for the title, yeah.
but getting 80 points which gets you the full MGP reward is usually extremely easy to do.
agile laurel
the simple 80 score is usually insultingly simple
obsidian patio
Most weeks it's as simple as a pre-50 vendor item or two and some cheap vendor dyes.
agile laurel
Also unrelated question - if I dye item A orange, then use a glamour prism on item B to change it to item A, is item B also orange?
obsidian patio
yes the dye transfers over
agile laurel
thank lord
obsidian patio
and as a related note, if you use a glamour on a dyed item it loses the dye.
agile laurel
i ran out of glamour plates so must now resort to traditional means
obsidian patio
so be careful if it has an expensive dye.
agile laurel
cough when was square meant to be reworking glamour system again 
next wind
isn't dresser + plates is the most efficient system? it seems pretty good. I'm scared to use expensive dyes tho lol
agile laurel
not when you've filled 15 glamour plates it isn't
obsidian patio
just make sure to dye the item itself and not the plate for expensive dyes.
next wind
okay lol, I'm 11 in already xD
agile laurel
i see no reason to not just remove the cap on glamour plates but that's a #rants so eh
obsidian patio
or just be very sure you won't adjust the expensive dye slots
agile laurel
bold of you to assume i have gil in the first place
frank chasm
Which server are you guys on?
next wind
Eu Spriggan here
next wind
I've not been anywhere outside of Eu Chaos lol
frank chasm
How can I transfer Gil between characters? 😦
next wind
through mail I think
obsidian patio
nope
frank chasm
I went to a Eu server once

you'd need a third party
obsidian patio
The only reliable way is through an FC chest.
frank chasm
And someone called me a spy
twilit arch
either a fc chest or another player
frank chasm
Oh, FC chest
Wish I could add myself
And send mail between characters
I found masked rose
How does the sub reddit help!
Is the correct gear not posted yet?
fresh lodge
For?

is there storm captain jacket to buy when I become a captain? I only see the lieutenants jacket
twilit arch
fashion report judging doesn't start until friday
fresh lodge
No, only new thing is the captain weapons
frank chasm
So when do I start getting the outfit?
And how many pieces of gear do I get to get the full reward?
Just two?
fresh lodge
You need 80 points to get the full amount of MGP
twilit arch
usually 80pts can be gotten with 2 gold items
twilit arch
No
frank chasm
Oh ok
twilit arch
each item when you're judge has a rating, Gold, Silver, Bronze basically
gold giving the most points for that slot, bronze being like 1-2 pts
frank chasm
Ok
twilit arch
!fr
zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
so in the image, it shows all the gold items available for each of the slots being judge for last week's fashion report
for the easy 80, you only needed fingerless leather gloves, and a chest dyed soot black to get 80pts
twilit arch
yeah though some weeks may be more annoying to get 80pts as a low level
frank chasm
Ok, thanks
So I just check the subreddit on Friday?
To see which items to get. Right?
silver vessel
How does Isgard restoration work?
twilit arch
ya you can use the !fr command in #kupo-bot-spam
either gather the materials you need in diadem or buy them from the marketboard, then craft items to turn in
the crafted items require a certain amount of collectability to be able to turn in
collectability is essentially like trying to high quality an item, but you don't need to completely fill out the bar for max reward
obsidian patio
correct
frank chasm
Ok
silver vessel
ok ty

Okay hand cramping as mch so can't do this since went from 60-61 1/2 and going back to red mage and focus on it to 80 instead

it is against the TOS and thus bannable, though there's no known instance of Square Enix trying to detect it in order to issue bans
I have only heard of one person ever who had action taken against them without them saying anything about the meter in-game
and that was a streamer who practically make a career over insulting people on stream for doing poorly
obsidian patio
Basically, you only get action taken against you if you use it to harass or tell random people that you're parsing them
Simply having it running is 100% fine

This is a very broad question, but what's the BGM that sometimes plays in PotD that sounds hella like gen 3 pokemon?
obsidian patio
Hard to accurately say, as all the BGMs except the ones that play on Floors 1-3, 50, 97-99, and 100 are from other areas.
obsidian patio
also randomized
obsidian patio
It can sometimes be some 1.0 music thrown in there.
This playlist should have all the musics that can play in POTD https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWy37j557kNwAsChUwhc4vZ-2o02vjxKA

alright, i'll set it on play

Where do I get level 70 upgrades?
obsidian patio
Scaevan tomestone gear can be bought in Rhalgr's Reach from Enna after completing the stormblood story.
obsidian patio
yep
frank anchor
is the current highest ilvl 480?
obsidian patio
500, 505 for weapons
frank anchor
are those only obtainable with raiding, or can high end 500ilvl be obtained in other ways?
obsidian patio
i500 is currently savage-only
You can spend the weekly-cap tomestones of Allegory on i490 Crystarium gear.
and once patch 5.3 hits you'll be able to upgrade the Neo-Ishgardian gear to i490, and the next part of the YorHa 24-man drops weekly i490 gear + a token to exchange for a thing to upgrade the Crystarium gear to i500.
Along with an i495 Weapon from the 5.3 Extreme Trial boss.
frank anchor
wonderful, thank you :D

guys, I'm lv 75 on my main dps and still doing 63lv SB quests. Should I continue with my daily roulettes on my alts so I don't max out my 80lv too early?
robust gazelle
How much of an impact does 5 or 10 ilvls really have on damage output for example?
zinc orbitBOT
next wind
as I believe I will miss out on exp from msq if I reach the lvl too soon? Or 76+ requires so much exp I shouldn't worry about msq?
visual magnet
How bad is lag if I play from west coast on an EU data center?
obsidian patio
@robust gazelle depends on the slot, weapons get the biggest boost due to weapon damage
@visual magnet try pinging the Datacenters yourself. But my guess is awful

@next wind I wouldn't worry about the experience from stormblood leveling quests if you're already level 75, if that's what you're asking.
leaden ginkgo
I guess u can just try to act like u wanna borrow and feign niceness and they will pity u and give u for free? is that how it works?
leaden ginkgo
Just asking for my fc
next wind
and then I will not get the exp rewards from msq
obsidian patio
If you're on a preferred server that's very likely.
next wind
I was meant to say my main* basically if I'll reach 80 too early I will lose the exp rewards from msq and since my alts are below msq level gate I won't have another choice, but I guess I'll see how it goes
will do roulettes on my alts for now just in case
obsidian patio
@leaden ginkgo 🤷♂️ I was always pretty self-sufficient in my crafting/gathering so I never really worried about not having enough money and then it just slowly snowballed into me having enough to not needing to ask others for it.
If you want some semi low-cost ways of making money, I suggest looking at vendor items from random NPCs and seeing if any sell for higher on the marketboard.
next wind
I wouldn't go around asking for money either, if you're not keen on gathering/crafting (like myself), consider levelling up your retainers on your battle class and do hourly hunting ventures
obsidian patio
My suggestions are level 30 vendor gear and the minions/orchestrion rolls from the Racial gear vendors in the 3 city-states.
next wind
I have 4 retainers 50+ lv and they produce me 200-300k daily just from bringing back mats
which then i resell on the mb
leaden ginkgo
Idk people from this discord were talking about how if u want money just join a fc
obsidian patio
There's also that NPC near the Ul'dah aetheryte that sells two sets of glamour gear, I'm sure those make a pretty decent profit in reselling.
leaden ginkgo
A big one*
fresh lodge
You can also just do roulettes every day to make a tidy sum
clever quiver
MSQ seems to give a lot
leaden ginkgo
Yeah thats my only way of making money atm
clever quiver
I've noticed
next wind
also if you level at least 1 tank and 1 healer you can do adventurer in need for roulettes as welel
well*
leaden ginkgo
@clever quiver like in even if u repeat it?
next wind
which reward extra gil
clever quiver
the main story on your main
next wind
adventurer in need can do up to 10k gil for participating
stable herald
Can you go to the diadem solo? Or do ya have to queue?
leaden ginkgo
so Im always broke at 100-200k gil
next wind
adventurer in need is always either a healer or a tank
obsidian patio
you can solo queue into the diadem, yes.
fresh lodge
You can go solo
next wind
but honestly retainers are a gold mine if you take the time to do them hourly
next wind
rarely yes, but like 5% of the time, if he's purely looking for gil bonus from that, healer or a tank is more beneficial
stable herald
Or is it just teleport?
leaden ginkgo
Ah really, but u need to have ur crafters levelled right? @next wind
next wind
no
leaden ginkgo
I mean disciple of land/hand*
next wind
my retainers are 50+ battle craft
both machnists, they bring back 5-10 mats which I resell from 500 gil to 2000gil on mb each
next wind
an hour, it's not bad
next wind
I have 4 retainers, 20k per hour, I send them 5-10 times a day
next wind
I make 200-300k daily if I play a lot
leaden ginkgo
mine is level 15 lancer atm
next wind
fleece has been going well in my server, yak milk
but they change often, check each material price on the mb and sales history
also reselling dyes is pretty good too, as someone suggested bying from an NPC and reselling it to the MB. It's not a lot of profit, a few thousand here and there but at the end of the day it stacks up
next wind
hunting yes
next wind
and check each mats you can get, check their price on the mb + sales history (good price does not always mean they sell well)
leaden ginkgo
thanks man!
Btw I dont know if this is a appropriate question
But I am a conservative muslim who does not like to show my body parts anywhere, I want to change to Miqote but I cant hide my tail
Is tail considered a body part or..?
The quran does not say anything about it unfortunately
Yes the tail is a body part
I see
Miqos are hot but I feel like I am committing a sin if I walk around with my bare tail wagging round
And there's no way to cover it or anything?
fresh lodge
It doesn't really count as a body part
leaden ginkgo
Oh why do u say so?
fresh lodge
Because people with tails aren't real, so I think just showing the tail is probably safe

So Crit/Direct Hit is better ?

@pallid eagle yea crit det food is good
crit/dh if u can
but tbh
if ur leveling it really doesnt matter
just eat food for the 3% exp bonus

pine trellis
Hello, I'm brand new to this discord, and I wanted to ask if it's a good place to find people for endgame content and old ex/savage content?
I've been looking for a place to find casual players to fill in slots in raids and have vc with. This place looks promising on first inspection.
I posted this in another channel, I'm not sure where it should go. If there is anything I should know, I'd be happy to read it.
frank anchor
You were unable to receive all the company seals.```
this keeps poping up in chat, may someone tell me what it means please?not sure what those are
pine trellis
you've probably capped your company seals. You can go the the grand company quatermaster and spend some of it
jade quartz
Serpent Seals, Flame Seals or Storm Seals.
You can see them in your currency window (ctrl+C by default)
jade quartz
You can spend them on promotions within your Grand Company to increase the cap on the seals.
This is what I'd recommend spending them on to start with.
Uh do you have your chocobo yet?
pine trellis
you can feed it thavnairian onion to increase it's lv Cap, btw.
you can get them from some quests or from the market
frank anchor
ty gonna try and find that :D
so the quests marked with blue with a dark + on them are important right? when I looked it up it said "content unlock/feature unlock" but there's a lot of them everywhere
not sure if those are side quests or something that I should be doing
little swift
You need one onion per rank
zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
@frank anchor Yes, you should be doing them. The ones you can skip doing are the ones that unlock a class/job (usually entitled something like "So You Want To Be a Conjurer", for example) unless you're interested in playing that job
and maybe the "Leves of [area name]" ones too
Though you'll still want to do those later if you wanna level crafters and gatherers, possibly.
Also you'll find at level 50, 60 and 70 there will be a lot of those quests around major hub areas which unlock all the dungeons and raids etc. at that level
Doing all of those may not be a major priority for you as you're still making your progress through the main story.
(But they're still good to get around to eventually)
frank anchor
thank you so much this is super helpful

What are static groups?
lots of lingo used in #494379215420915712 that I'd like to understand
fresh lodge
A consistent group of people who do hard end game content together

Your average group is usually about the same length on clear time
celest jolt
It depends if you don't want o die from boredom go alliance
leaden ginkgo
And DADDY @little swift , does the level 70 alliance raids give decent xp for level 72?
little swift
I'd do your roulettes first and foremost and dungeon spam instead
Alliance raids alone were not really for exp
fresh lodge
MSQ gives more xp
leaden ginkgo
I finished all the quick n easy roulettes
Now I just want the free poetics from afk'ing and some extra xp for my side jobs
Alliance raids give 100 each
And msq gives 200
Usually I afk msq but alliance is level 70 so wondering if the extra xp is worth going for
south flower
To those who've played both in end-game, which is easier to master: SAM or RDM?
leaden ginkgo
I think both r easy
I never played rdm tho
But heard rdm is super easy but also weak
south flower
Indeed, I'd need them to be, because I am (thus far) pretty bad at the game overall
south flower
I've heard it's much easier on positionals than others
south flower
which would be ideal cause I have a hard enough time paying attention to AOEs and not screwing up my rota
leaden ginkgo
But 3 is more like where u looking
Rather than 2
Yeah yeah

Sam has some filler optimization to do with sen generation so they geberate the correct amount by the time they need to reapply stuff

If all youre looking for is xp and poetics, then MSQ is better in every way than Alliance roulette

Samurai isnt braindead easy
@fresh lodge ah ok
I'd say rdm
I didn't mean roulette tho
Just meant the dungeon spam
MSQ dungeon spam
Castrium something
Depending on
How quick
You can also run aetherchemical
From HW
Oh does it give good poetics?
And allow me to afk?
No
Ahh
Its actually an active farn
Also you cant afk in castrum
If its super quick I might look into it tho
Yeah its not very good, but I mean I can still keep doing it so its fine so far
You shouldn't afk in castrum
Lets not talk about that man
I get what I want happily, they finish in 40 mins too
south flower
I don't need/want Braindead Easy, just something to level up and do necessary dungeons without being total trash while I'm learning

Oh trust me u will love samurai
will take a day max for learning
Ofc practice on dummy tho and READ the skills

What's the stat priority for AST? I checked the balance and it's so confusing 
it's for my alt i'm not looking for perfect BiS stats, just stats priority
faint flare
Piety to comfort > crit > dh or det > sps
If you want a spefic gcd then you can throw in more sps
Idk how its confusing
You're picking for comfort before tossing in crit stuff
brave dawn
Thanks 
so like, is there a specific amount of piety / sps i should be aiming for?
like a number?
faint flare
Whatever you're comfortable with
Some like more piety due to astros lack of extra mana regen
Usually like over 1k or something
brave dawn
alright so top priority is piety / sps til i'm comfortable, then crit > dh / det?
brave dawn
Gotcha, thanks
