@warped nest yeah they do this but when they do it, it's like they're unable to mitigate their dmg and their hp melts away like crazy. None of the DPS can attack because they've pulled them away so far so everyone has to sprint to before we can attack again. That cuts off dmg and cuts me off from healing.
@ionic garnet tried using presence of mind /light speed then spamming 2nd level of healing spell on them?
warped nest

red fossil
but i dont see any discusson about using seigan ever
mossy tartan
I usually keep them alive like that on excess pulls
obsidian patio
it does more than Shinten in terms of Potency per Kenki, but you shouldn't purposefully get hit to use it
ionic garnet
I'm not bothered by sprinting. It would just make sense to only pull the second mobs if the hp is stable.
Or second group
red fossil
hmmm i see
is there any recommended hotbars for easy SAM rotation executions? im having a hard time choosing which keys are the best and have been looking around the net for the best one
ionic garnet
If I had holy then it would be easier for the tank I can holy+ swiftcast+ cure III
obsidian patio
@ancient rain server-dependent but a full set is probably 2m gil or so
@red fossil If you play on controller i can show my set-up
mossy tartan
is there any recommended hotbars for easy SAM rotation executions? im having a hard time choosing which keys are the best and have been looking around the net for the best one
@red fossil I usually group each set of abilities on a single row / hotbar based on their function :
(1) : single target skills
(2) : AoE
(3) : buffs
(4) : utility
ionic garnet
Also, do medica II and Regen stack?
mossy tartan
yep
obsidian patio
yep, though i don't recommend using medica ii just for a single target since it heals the same as a cure 2 for one person
twilit arch
usually medica 2+regen for single target is super overkill
mossy tartan
Regen + cure I, then cure II when buff is on, is more than enough
ionic garnet
I see
obsidian patio
You slowly stop using Cure one as you get more MP efficient tools
and default to Regen/Cure II/Afflatus Solace (free instant cast cure II)
ionic garnet
I loved palace of the dead since I never had to worry about tanks too much
mossy tartan
I have a habit of only using lilies for afflatus rapture, or if tetra is on CD so I use solace, is it bad?
ionic garnet
When you get to 70+ everyone suddenly just knows what to do UwU, I love it.
red fossil
what if the boss suddenly uses an AOE attack that compromises each raid member's position to safety... do i have to start over on beginning of the IE higanbana first opener or just continue where i left off with the loop or rotation?
dim veldt
Is there a discord for samurai?
obsidian patio
Using lilies purely for afflatus rapture is a damage loss

This discord is the general optimization discord and has channels for all jobs

I plan on using a DPS melee in the future like BLM, how do you use limit break?
obsidian patio
it's a separate action found in the general section of actions and traits
little swift
limit break is shared amongst your party
dim veldt
Question once me and all my friends hit level 15 and we did the first dungeon together can we continue playing the game from there on out
ionic garnet
@little swift I know
obsidian patio
@red fossil generally you don't stay far enough away from the boss that you'd need to adjust your rotation that drastically
ionic garnet
I just wanted to know in case I need to use it in the future.
obsidian patio
but it's a fight-by-fight basis that you would have to learn by trying
red fossil
so if it will kill you then gtfo? and start over again (in a worst case scenario)
whole wasp
@ancient rain if you have the base game(A Realm Reborn or 2.0 for short), you can play all the way to lvl 50 and then you're capped.
obsidian patio
also as you're a steam user make sure to buy shadowbringers from the steam store
whole wasp
you still need to buy a sub to play btw. you can buy shadowbringers later
obsidian patio
@red fossil depends on how much time you spend away from the boss. generally you don't spend too long and can just continue where you left off in your rotation
red fossil
ahhh i see
obsidian patio
as combos last 12 seconds or so before they expire and lose the combo bonus
buoyant monolith
How do I get to gold saucer?
obsidian patio
if you haven't been there at all it's from a sidequest near the ul'dah aetheryte
and if you forgot to attune to the aetheryte at the gold saucer you use one of the Airship boarding areas in the main city-states to go there
leaden ginkgo
So what use is the fish, from Ocean Fishing?
Just Desynthesis/Housing?
buoyant monolith
It says I need a ticket to go to it
little swift
you have the ticket, just talk to the people at the airship landing hastrach
buoyant monolith
I don’t have it unlocked yet like oof!
How do I unlock the saucer in the main story?
forest pilot
i cant do the lvl 52 ninja quest. do i have to be in the heavensward dlc story to get it?

Yes

the quest is in uldah hastrach
"it could happen to you" or something like that
its a 
buoyant monolith
Oh
forest pilot
oh ok ill just keep doing these in between quest
little swift
@warped nest i could be wrong, can't remember all the names of these thigns 
i did write "or something like that"
warped nest
@little swift I was actually saying "not you" because I thought Hastrach was asking the ninja question, and they responded to your gold saucer answer. It wasn't commenting on whether the quest name actually end with "you"

All jobs lower than your highest job receive the bonus leveling exp.

If your highest combat job is a lvl 12 Gladiator, anything below 12 will get bonus

cerulean pewter
hello, is steam version different vs non steam?
warped nest
Gameplay wise, no
cerulean pewter
it seems on steam is only 1 xpac
warped nest
It is the same thing on all platform
XIV always sell precious + current expansions in 1 pack, at the price of 1 expansion
cerulean pewter
ahh okej so its complete edition on steam
warped nest
If you already have Starter (aka, Base Game, A Realm Reborn)
Then you just buy Shadowbringers
obsidian patio
The main differences with Steam is that you can't use non-steam licenses for steam, you have to use the steam launcher, and you're able to pay for stuff on the mogstation with your steam wallet.
warped nest
Once you have picked one, you cannot swap
cerulean pewter
are there any cons on steam?
warped nest
People have mentioned less sales
But how often are you gonna repurchase 1 expansion?
warped nest
Another small advantage with steam is Steam is easier to deal with if you are not from the typical gaming region
But again... It is just a one time thing

Sorry if this is obvious but does anyone know how to find a mentor? I just bought the starter edition but I dont know how to find anyone.

Umm is there a problem with patching?
Recently returning player here got stuck at patching stuff up
2019.05.29.0000.0000
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
check and see if internet explorer needs to be updated
might also be a firewall issue with it blocking FFXIV from patching
next jay
More like i was downloading up til a certain point and then bam
obsidian patio
There's a lot of potential solutions/workarounds that it's hard to find a work-all answer
leaden ginkgo
So
next jay
Hmm i see
obsidian patio
nope, as samurai is an expansion job and does not rely on classes.
but if you want to get used to being a melee class then I recommend Lancer or Pugilist
it's very fast-paced and a bit hectic with all of their positionals
tardy silo
Hello, for Trade Mentor requirement:
“Gather or catch 300 collectibles”.
Im so sure I got more than that except for fishing but it still not red checked for me
sudden gust
say im lvl 45 in a job but wanna pick something else up how does the scaling work with the msq
obsidian patio
Main story does not scale at all.
blazing hearth
okay another dumb question, is there a way to save your settings for like your camera and shit account wide or am I doomed to have to rework the UI and stuff
obsidian patio
You'll have to level up with other methods like fates and dungeons to catch back up
But! Combat classes below your highest get an experience boost.
next jay
@blazing hearth. From what i remember i copy and paste my character config document to the new character
twilit arch
you can double check how many collectables you've gathered/fished by going into achievements > items > collectables @tardy silo
obsidian patio
You can also save your UI settings among other things at the character selection menu
next jay
Not sure id it still work the same way now
obsidian patio
which lets you redownload those settings
tardy silo
@twilit arch seems fishing missing for me since less than 300 but I don’t understand why they used
Gather “or” catch 300 >_>
Or nvm
How come I have only 5
twilit arch
are you absolutely certain you've fished up 300 fish as collectables?
you need to make sure you've got the collector's glove active when you're fishing, and then also catch it as a collectable
so if you're saying "no" because a fish doesn't meet the collectability requirement, it won't count
tardy silo
This is new to me
Damn XD
Thanks
jade quartz
And it's gotta be a fish that can be a collectable, of course.
crimson wind
What's the highest possible spot in the game you can reach? I know Anyx Trine dragon is 5.6 Z but I think Amaurot may have something higher
obsidian patio
I mean, technically speaking ||Amaurot is in one of the lowest possible places, being at the bottom of the ocean||
Also I'm pretty sure Amaurot is in the negative axis for Z-axis
little swift
is sea of clouds not higher?
obsidian patio
@white sinew /shrug
crimson wind
I'm saying in terms of Z axis. A DRK needs to brood correctly aye?
jade quartz
If we're talking lore-wise, ||Azys Lla|| ought to be the highest-elevation zone
warped nest
Just brood in Kugane
Kugane tower is probably top 3
If it ain't the top (quite literally)
crimson wind
I can't do a jumping puzzle for the life of me
twilit arch
Zenith is pretty high
crimson wind
Zenith is 5.4
warped nest
Just do Sea of Cloud or what's the other one called again?
The map with moggle beast tribe
warped nest
You get to brood in front of a sunset on landmass floating among the cloud
crimson wind
I just did that
mossy tartan
does a “gatherer” mean a DoL job?
twilit arch
yes
mossy tartan
Okay, thank you
jade quartz
DoH/DoL are the official game terms, but players more commonly say crafter/gatherer
warped nest
Easier for new players too when we say crafter gatherer

nova karma
how do I unlock aurum vale, do I go to grand company or do I talk to Nedrick Ironheart
young fjord
@ancient rain One setting which drasticly improve your FPS is the number of people displayed at one time setting
nova karma
ok ty
twilit arch
Though if you do it for grand company, you only have to do it once for the promo
nova karma
if I dont I have to do it twice?
twilit arch
actually uh i think nedrick's just unlocks it, doesn't require you to do it to complete
so it doesn't matter either way
young fjord
@ancient rain
tropic summit
I get this weird message from time to time saying I leave myself
Does anyone know what the heck this means?
I've gotten it once during fishing and once during a dungeon
young fjord
Whatever works for you, I mean it depends on your computer specs
Also depends on area you are in
Cities tend to be the worst, like in open world I have 144 no problem
Im on a 1070
Yeah
Around 120 in major cities
With a display limit of 30
Character and object quantity on normal
in the "other settings"
Not that I have noticed
I guess the most "demanding content" I do is rival wings, it's a 24v24 PvP battle with mechs and minions and stuff
I have no problem with it
queen cove
When do roulettes reset?
zinc orbitBOT
Tick, Tock, Kupo!
young fjord
So if you see a rare monster for example, you will always see that rare monster over something else
And if the game decides to "not show something" due to your settings it will be a low priority target or something
What I noticed the most by changing the caracter and object quantity is some pop in on bushes and trees in forrest areas
queen cove
ty
young fjord
However, to me the steady 144FPS is more worth than beeing able to see a tree miles away
leaden ginkgo
can someone tell me why i get error 10105
i got after i logged on

after the now loading screen
obsidian patio
that error is usually related to server-related problems
untold scroll
does quality of an item affect it at all? like is the gear better with it being HQ?
obsidian patio
yes, gear has improved stats if high-quality.
potions and food are also stronger.
as for crafting materials, it boosts the starting quality of a craft which makes it easier to make the item you're crafting high-quality.
untold scroll
ic hmm, well now ik to aim for HQ gear when i can, thanks ^^
jade quartz
Especially at levels 50+, the difference in stats between NQ and HQ is very significant.
NQ gear becomes pretty trash, and can be equivalent to something like 10-30 ilvls below the ilvl shown, depending on the level range.
untold scroll
o.o ic... i appreciate the info, very handy indeed
gonna be difficult but sound like a gd challenge :3
jade quartz
At endgame, NQ gear is basically worthless
untold scroll
so at lvl 50, begin the HQ gear, and endgame HQ is to be completed
slate arrow
Unless you're abusing the augmentation system for crafted gear, but it's massively inefficient unless you're gaming the marketboard
and you can't augment current tier combat gear until 5.3
untold scroll
im still new.... so that kinda didnt make sense to me sorry >.<
jade quartz
If you're still on your first job, the MSQ will begin to provide you with HQ gear during heavensward
untold scroll
understood!
jade quartz
every two levels
untold scroll
ya im still at lvl 26 MSQ ARR
so very far off
but thanks for this info, now i can plan ahead

obsidian patio
Main story is constantly being added to with each main patch
getting from the start to the end of the current story patch is probably a month's time or so depending on how active you are every day, how fast you can read dialogue, and if you skip dialogue/cutscenes
jade quartz
Only do that if you want to play that class.
Leave them be until such time as you are interested in them.
They're not necessary at all.
Also not necessary
warped nest
Optional too
jade quartz
crafting and gathering is like its own whole side game
which you can get involved in if you want to, or never touch.
It's quite in-depth and a time sink, so I personally wouldn't recommend it for a new player until you've got your first combat class up a fair bit and done a lot of the MSQ
queen cove
Can confirm
jade quartz
though you totally can if you like the idea of being self-sufficient or something
queen cove
Sold my soul to crafting
wintry chasm
Eh
zinc orbitBOT
wintry chasm
It's alright to start whenever but the thing you can unlock in the 3.3 MSQ makes for a simpler leveling experience
queen cove
Later on it becomes really convenient to craft your own gear, for example leveling my botanist, I could have a full hq set of gear at level 61 without spending over 50k
wintry chasm
Right one?
jade quartz
Leveling all crafters is recommended if you’re getting into it
It’s not just like one crafting class makes all the gear for one battle job
wintry chasm
^ it's a case by case basis for each individual piece of gear
jade quartz
For example, a given set of tank armour might have a blacksmith’s sword, an armourer’s shield and top, a weaver’s pants, a leatherworker’s boots and gloves, a goldsmith and carpenter’s accessories
cerulean pewter
how long does it takes 1-70?
jade quartz
And intermediate ingredients made by an alchemist for all of those.
obsidian patio
if it's your first class then however long it takes you to do the story
wintry chasm
Otherwise how long it takes to get to 70 since it'd take a while and it'd greatly depend on efficient you are and yadda yadda
I'm not even sure how to guesstimate it in hours
hybrid rapids
Hi i want to join a raid with my friends but we’re all DPS. Any way I can switch to a healer? I’m doing Sastasha.
wintry chasm
A) that is a dungeon not a raid
B) you can't just change to a healer and be high enough level do Sastasha. I assume you've been keeping up with your class quests so where you are now you should be able to just go to, say, the conjurer guild and pick up a healing class
You just need to level it up to the level you need it which would take a bit
hybrid rapids
Ahh thank you for that correction. Do i start with level 1 as a conjurer?
young fjord
yes
wintry chasm
Yeah same with all the starting classes in the game
But you would get this
!faq armouryexp
zinc orbitBOT
wintry chasm
TL:DR double XP gain for any class below your highest level
hybrid rapids
Also will this be a problem for future dungeons where I won’t be able to play with friends. We’re 3 DPS.
wintry chasm
All dungeons are 4 man 1 tank 1 healer 2 DPS
The below level 50 trial fights are the same (trial fights are like boss fight instances)
But after that are 8-man 2 tank 2 healer 4 DPS
Basically you'd only be screwed for dungeons
Which is a big section of the instanced party content of the game
Admittedly
hybrid rapids
I see thank youu
So ill decide to switch classes. I have to grind to main quests until I get to the same Sastasha quest or can I go straight there after hitting level 15?
obsidian patio
main story is a one-time thing per character
so you'll have to grind other methods of experience like side quests, the hunting log, and fates to get to level 15
hybrid rapids
I see I see. If I’m level 19 right now, would it be more effective to just make a new character?
obsidian patio
nah, classes below your highest level class get an experience boost to help them catch up
!faq armouryexp
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
and you'd have to do the story again if you made a new character
cerulean pewter
is there any tier list provided for healing classes?
hybrid rapids
Oh yeah I saw ty!
cerulean pewter
or are all important
obsidian patio
All the healers are equal.
cerulean pewter
aha just depends on playstyle i want
obsidian patio
You basically just don't want two scholars in the same party as their shields don't stack with itself.
willow cipher
Does medica 2 or cure 3 stack?
slate arrow
@white sinew you don't
obsidian patio
There's this macro command https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/text_command/6cdfe09d861/
but it only shows to you IIRC
slate arrow
then use discord or voice chat
obsidian patio
@cerulean pewter White Mage and Astrologian both have a decent amount of heals over time
slate arrow
This isn't like WoW where you're coordinating 72 player's bursts of something (I dunno I'm just asspulling an example)
willow cipher
WHM got Regen, Medica 2, Asylum as HoT
obsidian patio
cure 3 is not a heal over time
agile laurel
So i'm not sure if this group flaming has a point or just can't count. Titania normal, when she starts the dps check and brings out the smol adds, surely it's better to caster LB3 then rather than waiting for the adds to go big and smacking Puck with a melee LB3? 6000 x 3 > 9000 and i can't see the point

yes caster lb3 is better if it helps you get past enrage

Im level 50 already and at the climax of the arr story. Is the Heavensward expansion starts right after this?
alpine shadow
Heavensward starts after finishing the last lvl50 msq
dry ocean
Right. Someone said there are filler quest
alpine shadow
Yeah. 2.1-2.5
wintry chasm
It's not filler from a story viewpoint
agile laurel
(but there is a lot of it)
wintry chasm
But it is in terms of its content between the base game story and the first expansion story
Not as much as what you've already done though
alpine shadow
the real fillers though are getting removed in 5.3
dry ocean
So bunch of them are just fetch quest
wintry chasm
Right like the base game it does have some iffy pacing
dry ocean
Go to A point and then return to B point
wintry chasm
I wouldn't say "bunch"
alpine shadow
go back to the waking sands
dry ocean
Most^
wintry chasm
The "filler" in the patch quests is definitely more focused on the story than the filler in the base game
wintry chasm
Like
alpine shadow
the real job
wintry chasm
Some of the stuff they make you do in the base game is totally irrelevant to the plot but in the patch quests they relate it more to what is happening even if it's ultimately redundant in the bigger picture
Honestly it's the better part of ARR
People just don't like it since they already did the base game and just want to hit the next expansion
dry ocean
Arr is really slow
wild terrace
These things are made of fire but how do they not take dmg during rain or run away ? 
dry ocean
Rn, Im not letting my friends play this coz theyll quit at thr beginning
alpine shadow
magic
dry ocean
I heard there’s an upcoming patch
wintry chasm
I can understand that but the game does just have a lot of talking and fighting and stuff. Even with the changes it isn't going to change what the main story fundamentally is
wintry chasm
The game is fetch quests
dry ocean
When will that drop?
wintry chasm
But yes the idea is next patch is going to make ARR quicker
dry ocean
Ohh nice
obsidian patio
TL;DR: for 5.3 ARR adjustments:
13% or so of all ARR MSQ quests from 2.0 to 2.55 will be removed as a whole. I think this estimates to like 40 quests or so?
A much larger percentage of quests will be adjusted in some way to make them faster
mystic yew
so i keep reading that unlocking moogles is tedious, but how do i actually unlock moogles

obsidian patio
the 30-minute fates sometimes have special items in them
yes, but not as intense
for everything we know about the ARR quest revamp
dry ocean
Hwo do I hire a retainer?
wintry chasm
Not as tedious but you do need to do the big regional questlines in Yanxia @mystic yew
dry ocean
Thbaksss
wintry chasm
The ones that start with the aether current quest
echo harness
so basically doing your average fate wont get you anything cool, gotcha
obsidian patio
Retainers are hired at the Retainer Vocates in the main city-state marketplaces, marked on the map with a face icon
echo harness
thought they'd be more incentivised

You need to not be in the free trial and get far enough main story to ||join the Scions|| which is around level 17

So weird wonder
I n oticed if a boss is big enough, sometimes tab targeting just... doesn't work at all

probably been going off main story accidentally

there are SO many side quests, and I love it lol, is there anything for getting them all done?
an achievemnt?
obsidian patio
not really.
wild terrace
i mean you do get rewards and money and items
obsidian patio
there's an achievement for completing like 100-200 quests but you can do that entirely with the story.

Any Good leveling dungeons for level50 ARR?
obsidian patio
Aurum Vale is the best dungeon to run at level 50.
level 50 dungeons give poor experience as they didn't give any at all when they came out
dry ocean
Arum til what level?
obsidian patio
51
dry ocean
After that?
obsidian patio
that lets you run the first heavensward dungeon being Dusk Vigil
basically you run the highest level dungeon you can do that's not level 50, 60, or 70.
dry ocean
Aighttt

Ok thx
wintry chasm
Technically I think you need to do the first HW quest then yes
dry ocean
Oh and 1 more thing. Is side questing a thing in lvl50v
wintry chasm
It never is really
You need to do some for the aether currents to fly but that's it really in terms of importance
dry ocean
They give low exp- yeah
proud willow
sidequests in the expansions do give High Quality gear as rewards though
proud willow
so even if you don't use them to level up, they can be useful for gearing up if you don't want to buy from the MB or depend on dungeon gear
dry ocean
I only do the blue ones

Sometimes that can be worthless

Hi guys, so i recently reached lv 80 in crafting. I want to craft the Neo-Ishgardian gear , but need craftsmanship at least 2480 and control 2195. Currently, my gears are all Dwarven HQ with craftsmanship 2087 and control 2015. What gear do I need to get to reach that minimum amount of craftsmanship and control?
rare karma
For dark knight do I do the combo,do I spam aoe or do I do something else by combo I mean the hard slash-symphon strike-souleater combo
young fjord
@rare karma It depends on what you are fighting
jade quartz
@pine bluff unfortunately no it's attached to hotbar 1
though if it really bothers you you could change it around so that hotbar 1 is hidden and you use a different hotbar in that place
since it's only on hotbar 1
pine bluff
yeah I guess so
rare karma
Which situations would I use which attacks?
jade quartz
In single target situations you use your single-target rotation (123 combo + other stuff), in AoE situations you spam AoE.
There are actually different thresholds for numbers of enemies to use different AoE skills in your toolkit for DRK
young fjord
At higher level your stalward soul will generate blood and mana for you which you can spend on Quietus

Flood of Darkness/Shadow is superior to Edge of Darkness/Shadow at 2+ enemies

Hello, So I just Saw the lodestone newest Event 'FFXI' and was wondering, I attended it the 1st time, do I get anything if I attend again? Is it possible to participate?
jade quartz
for GCDs, AoE spam is better than single target combo at 3+ enemies
FFXI
and no, you won't be able to repeat it.
Actually wait let me check these numbers
blissful lava
Thank You , Too Bad For Me Though@jade quartz
jade quartz
Once you've unlocked the second part of your AoE combo (Stalwart Soul, level 72 or thereabouts) then it becomes better to AoE spam at 2 targets rather than 3
Quietus is better than Delirium at 3+ targets
And Flood is better than Edge at 2+ targets.
dusky nest
spamming aoe at only 2 targets sounds so weird to me 
jade quartz
Yeah it is a bit
dusky nest
is there actually a big difference if you single target vs aoe at 2 enemies, or is it just very minor?
obsidian patio
you generate blackblood faster with the 2-step combo so it has that going for it
jade quartz
On two targets, AoE Stalwart Soul combo is better than single-target combo by about 66.66 potency per GCD
when factoring in the blood gain
and assuming ideal use of TBN
pine bluff
can you set Macro icon to class/job icons? /micon "Samurai" doesn't work
obsidian patio

Why are the potency numbers on monk actions lower than like MCH. How would their total DPS be similar?
whole wasp
Potency numbers do not translate between class/jobs
every job has hidden modifier that take into account stuff like weapon damage, main stat, etc etc
we do not know these numbers
the only way to compare between jobs/classes is the actual Damage numbers

Also monk is quantity over quality.

Next expansion was expected for late June/early July next year @modern sorrel in keeping with the past release schedule. However the pandemic may result in the entire release cycle being pushed back a little bit

@pine bluff we will know later this year
Usually they reveal the next expansion during the fanfest
jade quartz
Nothing of note. Announcements usually come at Fan Fest over the Northern Hemisphere Winter, though the state of the Fan Fests this year is also unknown due to the pandemic

Best case: change in format
Worst case: cancelation

they'll be available until 5.3 releases, and we have no idea when that will be
at least a few more weeks, considering they're bringing back the second FFXI crossover event as well
if you want to speed up collecting them, you can always do the MSQ roulette, because one of the dungeons in that gives 7 per run and the other gives 10

echo harness
What does spiritbond do
bitter plaza
it binds an item to you, and when it reaches 100% you can reset it back to 1% and get some materia from it
jade quartz
Yeah it can refer to both the binding of an item to you (once you've worn a piece of equipment in combat/while crafting or gathering, it is bound to you and becomes untradeable)
echo harness
gotcha
jade quartz
or the spiritbond gauge on an item which fills up as you use it, until it caps
and you can extract a materia from it

basically the same thing as soulbound in any other MMO, except they added an extra mechanic to it that also ties it into lore

🤔 I see. So as an Arcanist, I can basically jump between Scholar or Astro?
Also, is it recommended to 50 my Arcanist class?
dusty jungle
@pine bluff not conditionally based on failure, but if you use another macro it will interrupt the currently running macro
faint flare
Once you unlock the jobz you can freely swap
dusty jungle
the exception is if you are using /macrolock then it won't let you stop it
quartz pivot
Yeah, I know that bit. It's more of where I jump from before Astro.
faint flare
Just pick a healer for hear
quartz pivot
So Arcanist is a good jumping point into Astro, if ever?
mystic yew
Sure, but at level 30 arcanist evolves into scholar
(or summoner but you probably want scholar)
faint flare
Or conjuer

I'm going for Scholar, coz fun RP banter between sassy fairy and slapping lala character.

So Arcanist isn't recommended to level past 30?

there is no reason to be the base class once you can become a job

I mean more along the lines of current expansion plot. Feels like it should already be required to progress, or even start. Anywho, highly recommend.
@vapid remnant mostly the same as anything else, there's a bunch of stuff locked behind MSQ and option "+' quests that help out a ton. Weekly custom deliveries, certain beast tribe quests and your grand company missions
thorn thicket
Its not because they didn’t plan for the crystal tower to be involved in the MSQ 6 years ago, it was just set piece from FF3

@woven token oh I was referring more to a list of materials to make one of each item more than actually leveling the job

Which is harder to learn? Astrologian or Scholar? I hear that both are "advanced" but I want to do a healer next and Astrologian looks really cool to me (new player).

astrologian is generally regarded to be more difficult than scholar
both are more difficult than white mage
twilit arch
yes it will, ren
leaden ginkgo
white mage doesn't look that interesting to me
robust crow
white mage is the best healer to wing a fight you've never done before
their healing is primarily reactive
leaden ginkgo
So I basically wondering if the other two were too hard to do instead of WHM as a new player
robust crow
scholar and astro have tools for preventing damage that you predict is coming
well, being new might hinder you, but it's mainly knowing the fight you're doing
it's not really a big deal for non-80 raids since most of the time you'll be able to wing it
little swift
you can absolutely learn fights/dungeons as a sch
woven token
Shields don't work very well as an oh crap button. Can only pop so many of them for the quick heals.
That said, I found scholar and astro more fun
little swift
you can play quite proactively as whm regardless
since a lot roomwide/tankbuster damage
has a cast bar
robust crow
yeah you can do things like pre-cast medica II
little swift
and you can time your casts
leaden ginkgo
so I guess it doesn't matter since I would ideally be good enough at the game by the time I get the level 80 content?
little swift
to heal your targets as soon as they take damage
robust crow
by the time you hit 80 it's assumed you know your class
little swift
play what you think is interesting you have a long time to practice/learn
robust crow
so all that's left is knowing the fights and when damage is coming
