Well. Biting th ebullet for PSO2 and moving FFXIV to an HDD. What should I do to keep my settings?
frail fulcrum
I hate the region locking of ffxiv but can I have both NA and EU purchased on steam?
twilit arch
need to get to 60 to be able to unlock dnc @wild terrace
twilit abyss
but my registered address is in another country
wild terrace
ah not too bad 8 more levels
twilit arch
@frail fulcrum no, your mogstation account is either NA, EU or JP
so whatever region your account falls under is what kind of key you have to buy
twilit abyss
i'm tempted to just buy the eu expansions right now even though i will set my billing address to some nonexistant place in another country (because i can't select my credit card country of origin)
strange question - what region does singapore fall under? logic says JP, but you never know...
frail fulcrum
I understand the MOG station, but is it possible to buy 2 regions on steam? @twilit arch
twilit arch
not unless you somehow change your steam region
twilit abyss
(FFXIV isn't available in malaysia so i'm using singapore)
twilit arch
@twilit abyss should double check on mogstation what your account's region is
twilit abyss
i know what it is
i bought the game while i was in college in Australia
So EU
but i can't change my billing address now that i'm back in malaysia
(and support hasn't responded in... i don't know how many days by now)
(slightly under a week) four days
twilit arch
hmm iirc for instances like this the easiest method i know of to pay for a sub is with crysta via paypal
or a time card
zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
since your billing address does need to match, afaik, or else your bank or SE's payment system may think there's an issue if it doesn't
twilit abyss
...yeah
twilit arch
and unfortunately yeah support is going to be a fair bit slower than usual because of covid
iirc the EU side of is extremely limited
twilit abyss
if i only have ARR, i understand i'll be class restricted and that's fine - what about races?
twilit arch
you'll not be able to choose Au Ra, Hrothgar or Viera
twilit abyss
damnit
wanted a hrothgar
đŚ
that will have to wait until after i resolve my region issues i guess
twilit arch
you do get a free fantasia to race change at lvl 50 when you complete "The Ultimate Weapon" msq
so if/when you get the expansion can change then but if you really want to start as hrothgar then you will need shadowbringers
twilit abyss
yeah, planning to buy shadowbringers now that my working hours have changed and i don't need to deal with traffic
okay so all the advice i've heard says "power through to level 30" because supposedly it's extremely boring until then
is this still true?
twilit arch
its not the most exciting, yeah
twilit abyss
here's hoping the only thing that will happen is that my bank calls me asking WTF is going on, and SE doesn't lock my account
frail fulcrum
I'll just a buy a pc version I guess lol
twilit abyss
hopefully nothing happens since i have 2FA on both things
ok, transaction is done, now i'm gonna fiddle with the benchmark and make something that isn't a hrothgar
maybe a lalawaifu because why not
crude relic
Is it possible to get the SB relics solo? Or do you have to do stuff in a group to get that stuff done?
twilit arch
they added echo to eureka, so you can definitely solo it now
but iirc its been decently populated lately
so should be able to find a few people working on it atleast
crude relic
On Aether? Last time I tried to do anything in Eureka like 2 months ago almost no one was there so it was kind of disappointing.
twilit arch
well, we are in a content lull right now since next patch is delayed
so try hoping in again
but you definitely can do eureka solo
sterile ore
how does flying mount work? i just finished teh attuning in the area but still unable
twilit arch
did you find both the open world and quest currents?
sterile ore
aaah shit dunno bout the quest
twilit arch
in expac zones are most of the time going to be aether current quests
so make sure you're doing those
and generally the last quest current is msq, not to mention usually the quest before you leave the area
crude relic
Also what's the best way to get the currency thingies in Eureka to upgrade my Antiquated Murgleis? Is it just about kill chains or is it complete RNG?
twilit arch
farming notorious monsters are the best way to getting the crystals
twilit arch
you come back to those zones later
but the devs want you to explore the zones on foot first
sterile ore
later for msq or jsut for fun?
twilit arch
plus job quests and various other content
mossy tartan
Can surecast stop me from getting knocked back by Edenâs gate : descentâs boss?
A certain ability of his
obsidian patio
Yes.
mossy tartan
Okay
sterile ore
i heard that they will make flying moutn available from the start of the game, whats that about then?
twilit arch
flying is being added to a realm reborn zones
its not changing anything about the expansion flying
obsidian patio
ARR flying gets unlocked as a whole when you complete the base story once 5.3 hits
They didnât make any mention of expansion flight being changed AFAIK
sterile ore
but you still ahve to gather the attuning in realm reborn?
twilit arch
no
obsidian patio
No Aether currents, just base story
twilit arch
ARR is not going to have aether currents, you're just given flying when you complete the msq "The Ultimate Weapon"
so its not like you're given flying immediately in ARR either
you still have to do the msq first
sterile ore
thats nice, atleast they didnt force to do some small quest
cuz its kinda stupid imo, but okay thanks for the info

can you play with friends on other servers?
twilit arch
if you're on the same data center, yes
you can make use of world visit to hop to their server, or they to yours

if we're not on the same datacenter?

then you're not able to play with them

So what do you get from Gerolt in exchange for Anemos Crystals in Eureka? Do they just turn into Protean Crystals?
obsidian wren
Are anemos the big snowflakes? You need the big ones for later upgrades to the relic weapons and armour
scenic orbit
crude relic
Yeah I know what they're used for but you can also exchange the Anemos ones with Gerolt but it doesn't say what you get in exchange since I haven't found any Anemos Crystals yet so I'm curious.
blissful cairn
I need some help do anyone know where levequest are for 25
slate arrow
@crude relic anemos crystals mainly come from FATES
warped nest
Look for regions at that level range?
slate arrow
@blissful cairn if you're leveling a combat class, just to your highest level leveling dungeon
blissful cairn
leveling dungeon?
pine bluff
is there armor set bonus in the game? like if you wear all the gear from a set, you get extra stat bonuses
silver ruin
no
warped nest
Any dungeons that are not lvl 50/60/70/80
slate arrow
@pine bluff yes, but they only exist for grand company sets, really
pine bluff
ah ok
slate arrow
and they don't go past level 50 so unless you're leveling alternate jobs don't worry about it
crude relic
I know how you get them, but when you go to Gerolt there's an option called "Exchange Anemos Crystal" but it doesn't say what you get if you exchange them instead of using them on a +2 weapon to augment it, like when you exchange do you get Protean Crystals from excess Anemos Crystals or what. That's what I'm wondering lol
slate arrow
Pressing Exchange Anemos Crystals brings up a menu
You can exchange 1, 10, or 50 anemos crystals for a sum of protean crystals
Which is the easiest way to get said protean crystals for augmenting eureka gear
blissful cairn
@slate arrow with the dungeons do you mean the blue circels on the map?
crude relic
Thank you, that's exactly what I was wondering lol
slate arrow
Blue circles are FATES and they are very inefficient for leveling until you get to expansion zones
warped nest
Seriously, do your 
blissful cairn
i have been doing my main quest is it because im a free trial
twilit arch
what level is your main scenario quest?
blissful cairn
15
slate arrow
are you looking at leveling roulette
Oh
You unlock your first dungeon shortly after leaving your starting city in the MSQ
twilit arch
so you're likely either near or on the quest to enter your first dungeon
warped nest
Don't grind your character to be over level
blissful cairn
oh cuz i had a quest alredy to enter a dungeon
warped nest
It doesn't have any significant advantage on your quests and dungeons
twilit arch
when you open the duty finder window, the first page it defaults to is the roulette page
which is denoted by a ? on the row of icons
warped nest
The 2nd tab should be a blue cave icon
twilit arch
next to that is the dungeons icons, which is like a blue cave with 1/2
slate arrow
Duty roulette always syncs your rewards to your current level
twilit arch
assuming you unlocked sastasha, it should be under the dungeon 1 section
warped nest
Roulette gives away daily exp and misc rewards
blissful cairn
oh im on the quest rn to unlock satasha
slate arrow
then go do that
You'll be synced down to level 17
So outlevelimg the MSQ isn't really worth it
crude relic
So I'm trying to do the Eureka Challenge Log but are some of them for Hydatos and Pagos and not just Anemos? Cuz I have no clue what an Ashkin is and I don't think I've seen one in Anemos but it's in my Challenge Log.
slate arrow
Ashkin only appear at night
but you can ignore them for the most part unless you're in urgent need of EXP
I just go in, kill 60 mobs, then pop out
only takes an hour at most
blissful cairn
so when u get to level 30 arcanist become summoner right?
mystic yew
yup, just do the class quests
and eventually you'll get the soul crystal which lets you become a summoner

slate arrow
Astrologian
It's a Heavensward job
and it's locked behind the entirety of the 2.x MSQ
blissful cairn
so i have to complete realm first
warped nest
Yes
Unlocking HW expansion jobs requires you reaching HW area. To unlock SB and ShB jobs, you just need to be lvl 50 and 60 respectively
blissful cairn
Can you only do realm reborn on a free trial
warped nest
Yes
slate arrow
you can only go up to level 35
warped nest
Trial is capped at lvl 35
slate arrow
Heavensward requires level 50
warped nest
Take note that you only need to buy Starter Edition (full ARR) and Shadowbringers (which in itself includes Heavensward and Stormblood)
Or a Complete Edition which is just Starter + Shadowbringers

Hi guys. Trying to Farm Pummelite for my 70 miners quest.
Online it says this exact area and location :
slate arrow
Are you using Gamerescape or Garland tools
warped nest
Have you checked the lvl 65 outcrop?
warped nest
There you go
blissful cairn
isnt the machinist stormblood
slate arrow
8AM/PM Eorzea time
solemn delta
How do I check in game time
twilit arch
no, machinist is hw
solemn delta
I've always had it set to real time
twilit arch
you can go into character config to have up to 3 different times
or click on the time you have to cycle thru
slate arrow
You can set your in game clock to show times
warped nest
I dunno why you would set it to real time, just look at your phone
slate arrow
The two most important ones are Server Time and Eorzea time
twilit arch
character config > UI settings > HUD
scroll down until you find the clock type section and select the ones you want to show
solemn delta
Yeah I've got eorzea one
slate arrow
so now you just gotta wait
solemn delta
Would I need to use lay of the land 2?
slate arrow
there's an in game alarm function you can set
warped nest
If you use Garlandtools, it actually shows you the clock
solemn delta
To get the 70 one
slate arrow
no it shows up as a node when it spawns
It's not a special mountain node or anything as far as I know
warped nest
I thought these stuffs automatically turns on nowadays
twilit arch
you only need truth of the mountains on to see it
lay of the land just shows you where the nearest node is, lay of the land 2 shows you were the highest node is

Hi just curious when it comes to high end optimization which class does more damage between monk and ninja?
twilit arch
monk does more dmg
slate arrow
I'm fairly sure NIN has the advantage nowdays due to how dummy buff ninjtsu is post ninja rework
leaden ginkgo
Both about the same apm too right? Except monk has more positionals while ninja has mudras?
solemn delta
Yeah the difference is SO minor play what you enjoy more.
warped nest
Yeah, same ish apm too
twilit arch
monk is higher on e5/7, nin is higher on e6/8
leaden ginkgo
Gotcha ty ty
slate arrow
MNK is faster when you're in GL4
warped nest
Yeah the difference is SO minor play what you enjoy more.
This applies to all jobs btw
zinc orbitBOT
solemn delta
I seen a 482 NIN kill E8S dummy with 30 seconds left
But I'm unsure on video
Didn't see him entering
slate arrow
SSS isn't a very good DPS metric
obsidian patio
some dummies are just over/undertuned for no real reason
slate arrow
brotherhood is crazy good but when it's a lone MNK it sucks because you don't get any chakras
obsidian patio
I remember Shinryu normal dummies being very overtuned
sleek roost
Some of the dummies last raid tier were all over the place too
slate arrow
IIRC this raid tier RDM has the highest HP SSS dummies
solemn delta
Yeah but on ps4 I don't have a personal dps meter which they should implement so it's the only way to practice for me
warped nest
Respectfully speaking, even if someone else can do it with a Ninja doesn't mean you can. You are better off picking something you like, at least you are more motivated to improve at it.
slate arrow
I'm fairly sure it was RDM
solemn delta
Rdm is pretty high
blissful cairn
So when arcanist gets bio 2 should i jst replace it and not use bio 1
slate arrow
bio 2 automatically replaces bio 1
blissful cairn
oh ok
slate arrow
You can normally see what skills replace what in your actions and traits menu
Namely, under traits
solemn delta
Yeah it's very close
That's a bit unfair on RDM since SAM have the highest PDPS in game
dry ocean
When do I insert blood of the dragon in the rotation?
Is it before Thrust> Embowel?
Or do I need to insert it between combos?
twilit arch
you should be using blood of the dragon at the start of a pull
twilit arch
if you don't have wheeling thrust or fang and claw yet, just basically weave it shortly before you're going to use jump/spineshatter
since you're not going to be able to maintain it without those two skills
solemn delta
Quick WAR question. Specifically regarding Nascent Flash.
I know the class pretty well and I'm close to getting this awesome looking ability.
I wonder however how it should be used? Holding your inner release to use it as, essentially, an ultimate is going to nerf your dps so hard.
But I'm guessing in Savage raiding you don't need to use it for healing?
In dungeons yeah? Hold your inner release for big pulls and bosses. But high tier raiding you need to spam it on CD to get the most dps possible? Just wondering if this is the right mindset
faint flare
Flash is better than inutitation, peovided you survive the attack. The more gauge you spend with it, the better it gets. Part of warrior during savage raiding is optimising gauge usage so you can actively heal with nascent flash while not losing too much damage
jolly granite
is it normal for the hotbar disappear during any interaction?

@jolly granite depends on the exact things, but for stuff like talking to NPCs it's usually intended.

Would it be worth it to exchange all my Anemos for Protean crystals for the time being since I only really want the Relic weapon? Or are the upgradeable gear necessary for Eureka?
obsidian patio
You don't need to upgrade the armor unless you want to for making it dyeable
so yeah you can exchange all the anemos crystals
solemn delta
Oh yeah. I use for tank busters and stack with regular CDs when I'm getting really low like vengeance
You get so used to the tooltips rather than the names don't you
crude relic
Also with the Eureka weapons do the dyes affect the glowy effect of the weapon? I've seen 2 different screenshots where the glow was red and the other was blue-ish.
twilit arch
no, the glows are not affected by dyes
that said the eureka weapons are a bit unique with their glows
in that they rotate between like 2-3 colours for certain stages
crude relic
Mmk, also can I get a replica Brunello after I get the Eureka version? I kinda like the non-glowy final step weapon for the RDM Eureka weapon x.x

obsidian patio
Morgayne doesn't have the quest at all? it might be hidden under another quest.
Try double-checking your journal and see if it's hidden in there if you have a bunch of quests accepted.
solemn delta
Definitely not in journal. Should the delivery quest facet show up as a + sign quest?
zinc orbitBOT
solemn delta
Or is it just an NPC you talk to cause I just hovered over the area they are supposed to be in Crystarium but didn't go there. Doubt I did the quest though.
You need to be DoH/DoL right?
obsidian patio
Wait, you shouldn't need Inscrutable Tastes for Facet Quests, since they only want HQ stuff, nothing collected.
yep
Unless I'm misremembering. 
solemn delta
I'll go to location see if I can start them. Some amount of exp. But I can't afford the 71 gear
So I might have to leve to 80

For Anima Wep speedrun, do I have to put them on during combat, or only when I leave the instance, or does that not matter at all?

If I cast glamour on an equipment, can I still remove/recover the used glamour?
obsidian patio
items are not lost/used up when you use them for glamour
They do spiritbond to you making them unable to be traded or sold on the marketboard.
obsidian patio
You use a glamour dispeller if you want the original look of the item back, in the same way as applying a glamour
obsidian patio
you get them from a few NPC vendors
the closest one to an Aetheryte is Bango Zango in Limsa Lominsa.

In Eureka aside from the challenge log and FATEs is there another way to level up in a reasonable amount of time?

You can if you want to
are entirely optional just so you know
Yeah, do another job or two
forest laurel
are best left for alt jobs
it's a good idea to level different roles so you can get some experience with them
and see things from their perspective, maybe even offer advice.
since you're still in ARR, either paladin or warrior.
both are available from level 1
however I can only recommend paladin since I haven't played warrior

Can I run Eden raids with trust party? Heard about that from a YouTube video but he showed no evidence. I donât care if itâs gonna be hard to clear, I rather just be able to practice at all with a trust party, so that I can reliably join Eden content with a real party and attempt clears
agile laurel
no you can't

no trusts are only for the 4 man dungeons
normal mode of the raid is easy enough that you can go in blind

Unrelated: many gathering locations seem to cite Lower Paths @ south shroud, but the area marked as Lower Paths has literally 0 btn nodes. Am I missing something?
forest laurel
are you on botanist
agile laurel
yes
twilit arch
areas are often bigger than you might expect
agile laurel
Lower Paths seems to be the southernmost section of South Shroud, Rootslake being directly above
forest laurel
and triangulate to see nodes on your minimapp
agile laurel
yeah, arbor call just calls trees that aren't in the designated area, even
twilit arch
nope, rootslake is a part of lower paths
leaden ginkgo
So how do you guys get savage content done? Every time I see a party finder for Eden savage it requires to have it completed to join. And there is no way to practice in solo, then the only way to get Eden done from 0 is to join a free company and organize practice raids to then get them done?
twilit arch
rootslake is basically a subsection of the lower paths
nova umbra
what the sprites in eureka?
forest laurel
there should be people that are doing practice runs in PF
twilit arch
elemental sprites, they only spawn during their appropriate weather condition
agile laurel
that's just a fact of life of PFs in most games, 'must have completed to join'
folks don't want slip-ups if they're looking for an easy clear
twilit arch
so water sprites during rain, ice sprites during snow etc
forest laurel
worst case scenario you can possibly get your FC to help
my FC leader sometimes does memoria ex or savage lessons
leaden ginkgo
Iâll try searching for PF practice runs at peak hours
forest laurel
just be sure to have watched some sort of guide for the savages so you have a basic understanding of the mechanics
mild ermine
How do you dye job armor?
leaden ginkgo
From the first 4 e savage, what are the easier ones to clear? I tried inundation last week and it was very hard to me
agile laurel
depends on the level of job armor
for 50-60 stuff it's Idyllshire augment
for 70 stuff it's eureka
for 80 stuff I think it's the memoria miseria stuff
agile laurel
yep
mild ermine
ok ty
agile laurel
so Hidden gathering = timed, right? or is it the luck roll one?
trying to gather linseed for planting but there's not much help online
forest laurel
luck roll
agile laurel
glorious
forest laurel
if it's hidden then you'll have to go thru a few nodes until you get lucky enough to find the thing you're looking for
unspoiled nodes are the ones that are timed
agile laurel
gotcha.
twilit arch
a minor correction on the 50 AF dye
you need to augment it with a crafted item
its "(item set) augmentation", its an alchemist craft, you take that to kakalan in mor dhona to augment

Ive recieved my black choco. Are there any thing else I need to do to access flying?
twilit arch
you need to collect all of the aether currents in that zone to be able to fly
travel menu > aether currents to see which ones you've collected
dry ocean
Theres a compass thing right
twilit arch
Ya, you get the compass from the same quest as the black chocobo
its in your key items inventory, use that to help find the open world current
dry ocean
Oh key items
twilit arch
will usually have the quest currents
next wind
keep in mind, no point in rushing aether currents and quests as you will unlock with msq
so you can't unlock flying before you complete the majority of the msq in that area
twilit arch
Yes, though it would behoove you to work on currents as you're working on msq
since most of them will be near the area you're going to be heading anyway
next wind
yep, that's the best strategy
they're laid out nicely near msq
and aether currents quests pop up after some msq completion in those areas, so be sure to keep checking the map

Ahhh
waxen basin
when I buy game I have to instantly pay subscription or can I play for "free" for one month? (like wow)
jade quartz
You get 30 days to start you off
waxen basin
oh that is nice
jade quartz
Btw there is a free trial if you wanna try it beforehand
faint flare
During that time you are still able to use a refer a friend code
jade quartz
Can play all the base game jobs and main story up to level 35, no time limit
waxen basin
can I have many jobs on one character?
vagrant copper
You can have all of them!
jade quartz
Yes
faint flare
Only need to do the lv10 class quest to br able to change
waxen basin
so I can spend half of the year for free just on levelling multiple jobs?
next wind
if you don't get fed up lol
jade quartz
It wouldnât take you that long to exhaust the free trial though
waxen basin
that sounds leagues cooler than a grinding gear in wow
faint flare
Well all base jobs
jade quartz
Early leveling is very fast and pretty boring compared to higher levels.
I wouldnât expect someone to stay satisfied playing the free trial for more than... idk two-three weeks at most?
waxen basin
I like it so far it feels like FF9 for the most part
minus this one guy running in town yelling something in german
next wind
whilst this trial is really great to get a taste for the game, honestly jobs start to shine at 50+
agile laurel
It kinda varies - for example, by 50 or so bard has nearly all its key kit, meanwhile white mage kinda feels complete at 70 or so
waxen basin
when I was creating my character I was asked about race/tribe or something/god etc
is it important?
wintry chasm
No
next wind
no
agile laurel
no
wintry chasm
It's all RP flavour
agile laurel
race is appearance based, guardian is I think a miniscule amount of stat bonus?
wintry chasm
No
jade quartz
Race/tribe is your appearance
wintry chasm
It used to give elemental resistance but that got removed from the game entirely
waxen basin
or in other words will it determine whether I get into raid or other stuff
agile laurel
no
wintry chasm
No
jade quartz
Class is your starting class and determines your starting city too
waxen basin
so it is totally not like wow
jade quartz
Everything else has no effect
wintry chasm
The only thing that determines raid accessibility is you actually playing well
agile laurel
i mean race doesn't determine your raid efficiency in wow either, at least not retail
faint flare
There's like 1 or 2 point differences which literally do nothing when we have thousands of stats
waxen basin
I palyed Classic recently
and there min-max and race and basically eveything means a lot
agile laurel
classic, moreso yeah
wintry chasm
the racial starting stats aren't really anything
leaden ginkgo
So uh whats control do?
wintry chasm
It's essentially just gives a sense of the...character of races
leaden ginkgo
Im jk lol
faint flare
The few different points literally do nothing with how stat tiering works
wintry chasm
Control increases the amount of quality skills do
twilit arch
control affects how much quality your craft actions do
leaden ginkgo
Craft?
waxen basin
so I shouldn't be bothered with -2 something?
wintry chasm
yes crafting
leaden ginkgo
So not important for mage then?
wintry chasm
No because at end game you'll have 3000+ points Damta in multiple stats
twilit arch
yes, not important for a mage
jade quartz
Has zero effect when not on a crafting class
twilit arch
its for crafters
jade quartz
Gathering
leaden ginkgo
Ok
jade quartz

you need to kill him before he does the move or be on a job that has dots to kill him if you get eaten

So, uh, am I really supposed to just follow the "main" story quests? I outlevel them while doing pretty much just them but it feels weird to just run through entire zones just to do single quest.
faint flare
Story is the top priority
As it locks basically the entire game
Side quests are mostly ignorable and can be done whenever, be it to level an alt job or for fun
Blue quests unlock something and should be done at some point
rocky tree
I feel like I am missing something though. I don't have a mount yet so I just literally have to run through several zones to get to my objective since I don't have the portals?

Teleporting when possible or using chocobokeeps can make it faster. But... yeah, it's slow going at first

faint flare
Nope

This option might affect it but it would also effect everything else
Could also be a UI mod of some kind

I have a question about Crossworld Linkshells. I had created a crossworld linkshell with a character and after inviting a few people, I had given Mastery of it to another before deleting the character. I then moved my other character into the server and renamed it the deleted character (so I didn't have to level one up all over again). I got reinvited to the crossworld server, but the original name is still in there even though the entire character has been deleted and the gold star didn't transfer to the silver star. I'm wondering if a bug just happened?
Because I thought that when you deleted, if you have someone else with a star in the linkshell, the ownership transfers over when the character is gone?
vagrant copper
How long has all this gone on for? Might take the server a while to realize that character no longer exists
leaden ginkgo
A day.
vagrant copper
Sounds like either it'll fix itself or you messed it up and would need some sort of GM intervention to fix it
I'm seeing some stuff saying FFXI had some similar behavior with linkshells. Deleting the lead character would make it so no one else can join the linkshell.
leaden ginkgo
I see. I'll check it a bit later and if it still persists, I'll talk to a GM about it.

valid elk
is this the free trial? or is this like an outdated demo or smth
faint flare
Yes it is
valid elk
alright , and if i want to unlock the subscription ill have to buy the starter one or the bundle on steam
faint flare
Yes. Once you touch steam, you're permanently locked to it
So you would need to buy from steam
Depends on the number of people
valid elk
so , is the fee i pay for the starter package part of a subscription? or do i purchase the game then pay a sub fee?
twilit arch
purchase the game and then pay a sub
valid elk
sorry if im asking dumb questions , just kinda confused
faint flare
The sub is ontop of the price of the game

can someone explain why blue mages are limited? I understand what limited means but why do they not just make it into a full job?
twilit arch
because yoshi-p wanted to stay true to what blue mage is
and said a long time ago if blue mage was ever added to the game it wouldn't be a full fledge job
pine bluff
hmm right
vagrant copper
It also has wild power swings depending on what skills you have/use. It is both horribly underpowered and horribly overpowered
wintry chasm
^
faint flare
Plus if it was a full job, it wouldn't be a blue mage really, just another cookie cutter caster
wintry chasm
If it was a normal full job it wouldn't really have the "be able to use a lot of monster skills by fighting them"

Probably not enough points to declare a win. You're only guaranteed a winning hand if you don't make any calls (the lower right). The wind tiles also have different points depending on which round it is (east/west/north/south) and which seat you're playing (east/west/north/south)....
Something like that at least
wintry chasm
đ¤ Not enough points?
faint dawn
wait i thought i just needed 4 "3s" and a pair
vagrant copper
It is in certain varities of Mahjong. I never quite figured out if that was a rule here or not
Although a winning hand normally requires four melds and a matching pair, this alone does not constitute a winning hand.
wintry chasm
..huh
vagrant copper
So, yeah, that rule is in effect
lofty pulsar
Can I not cast Aetherial Manipulation immediately while casting a spell? BLM
wintry chasm
You can't do another action while casting no
vagrant copper
That's one reason the recommended tiles rarely have you make calls on tiles. Keeping a closed hand is worth one yaku which is guarenteed to be a scoring hand
lofty pulsar
ok
vagrant copper
Or... 1 Han. Whichever one it is
faint dawn
damn guess i gotta know what awards what amount of points now then >.>
vagrant copper
It helps a decent amount. I still haven't figured out the scoring and I've been playing mahjong on and off for years lol. I'm just like.... ehhhh, this'll probably score
faint dawn
but holy hell thanks, would've taken forever to figure that out

about as long as ARR

If I recruit a friend, can they recruit me back?
vagrant copper
Uh... hmm. I'd doubt it? Depends on if you can access the RAF page before subscribing. It seems like you wouldn't be able to.
wintry chasm
No since to be able to recruit someone you need to have paid for a sub
twilit arch
yes you can
twilit arch
So long as both have bought the game, you can recruit
even if you're still on your 30 days free
wintry chasm
ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
scarlet widget
Ok so we're both still on our free, I can see the recruit a friend code so I assume they can as well, and we'll be able to enter the code before buying our subs. That answers that! Thanks! One more question - the subscription length bonus, is that additive or is that at once? Does it have to be 270 days subscription bought at once (is that even possible?) or is it say 30 days, then 30 days and so on...until the friend hits 270?
vagrant copper
It's cumulative. The most you can buy is 180 days at one time
scarlet widget
Ah ok thanks! Sorry for that dumb question!
rough jolt
Can anyone tell me how to get Collectibles on the Miner/Botanist?
I honestly dont know how to
faint flare
Turn on collectors glove and use appraisals
twilit arch
just to slightly correct myself, the 30 days free doesn't count towards veteran reward or recruit a friend reward times specifically (it counts as a sub so you can recruit someone)
vagrant copper
Activate the collecting glove skill and.... use the other skills
twilit arch
if you sub via crysta/credit or debit card, the time won't be counted until the end of the sub time itself
the only one that counts immediately for those rewards is time card
scarlet widget
oh ok interesting, so if we wanted to get the feathers now, we should get time cards first?
otherwise we don't get those rewards until the end of the subscription? or is that only the veteran rewards
twilit arch
yeah, you'd have to get time cards if you want the reward immediately

ok good to know, thank you!

Healer damage scales off your.main stat
twilit arch
for light farming, you do
faint flare
So no need for cleric stance
faint flare
You're always doing good damage as healer
vagrant copper
@rough jolt The typical way to do something like that is to go to the collector people, find out what they want, and then look in your gathering log for where it is. Then you go get it.

Time cards are standard only
