Do I have to have an active subscription in order to download the game client?
vagrant copper
To download the actual game, I believe you do.
slate arrow
yes
heavy acorn
Man, that's a downer. I was hoping I could download the game over the night and then subscribe tomorrow to get 30 days worth instead of 29 .
Thanks though
forest lark
Is it possible to set raise macro for other alliances
Cause it's hard to target other alliances on ps4
faint flare
Afaik no
pine bluff
for augmented ironworks upgrade do I need a carboncoat for each item, or just 1 for the whole set?
faint flare
Each iten
forest lark
For example I usually have
/macroicon Raise
/Ac raise <1>
/Ac raise <2>
Etc... I can't do the same for alliance, would it work if I added beyond <8>?
vagrant scaffold
Is the quest to upgrade my job weapon still worth doing? I guess I quit halfway through
faint flare
No
Relic weapons are just shiny glamour
They're functionally not worth it
For old ones
vagrant scaffold
Ah
forest lark
Ingrimm is so far good, but I heard awakened crystarium is better
faint flare
Cause augmented tome is, weapon damage wins

Hello, I would like to bind a button to turn my character and camera around 180 degrees, is this possible?

What lvl does dancer start as?
jade quartz
60
leaden ginkgo
Ok :>
Is the dancer viable? Or nah? I was told dps is worst so it makes me think maybe i shouldnt play? Maybe people dont want a dancer?

dancer is just really easy

When you stop getting xp really
jade quartz
The base game is level capped at 50.

Unless you really want the stuff the expansion gives you

how can I buy The Emperor's New Boots?
faint flare
Like the jobs and races
jade quartz
then when you're at 70.
faint flare
Market board or.level crafters to 15 to vendor buy from vesper bey @loud wolf
loud wolf
ok thanks
heavy acorn
Is Stormblood up to level 70?
And Shadowbringers up to 80?
worthy widget
Can people that haven't unlocked crystarium yet buy stuff from my crystarium retainer on the market?
faint flare
Yes
jade quartz
Yes to both
heavy acorn
Coolio. I think I'm ready to dive back into the game then!
Standard or Entry subscription?
Most people only play one character, don't they? Since they can change jobs at will? Meaning Entry subscription should suffice?
faint flare
Entry is finr
wild terrace
Anyone has a table or chart for the exp each dungeon gives ?

Thanks for helping me out with my basic questions. 😄 I'll likely be back tomorrow when I start up the game.

I just dont wanna pick dancer and everyone goes 😡
terse walrus
Hi ! Why when i buy any attire. They place over my gear?
leaden ginkgo
Or say yo can u leave we need a real dps 0-o
And @terse walrus im like 80% sure that the answer is yes
Most mmo games do this and im pretty sure i remember reading something about it recently too
leaden ginkgo
Whos the ?? For?
terse walrus
@leaden ginkgo what? Haha
jade quartz
@terse walrus I don't understand the question
leaden ginkgo
He means glamour
jade quartz
@leaden ginkgo but it clearly wasn't a yes/no question
leaden ginkgo
He means cosmetics
terse walrus
I mean, i have my lvl 70 armor on my char. But if i buy any costume or shit like that they place over the armor
twilit arch
there's no costume slots, you have to glamour the items you want over your current gear
!faq glamour
zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
They don't, you have to glamour them manually.
leaden ginkgo
And the reason it wasnt a yes or no is cus it was a follow up from my previous question about bieng a dancer
jade quartz
I mean your answer to Dennis, Oserium.
next wind
the 80lvl relic - it's not part of msq or is it?
jade quartz
Your question has already been answered
leaden ginkgo
Oh ok
jade quartz
@next wind no
next wind
what ilvl is it?
jade quartz
Dancer is viable. You have nothing to worry about.
You have nothing to worry about playing any job you please.
leaden ginkgo
I just dont want players to throw me out is all
leaden ginkgo
Ok
terse walrus
Lol ty
next wind
guys I completed the job quest from crystarium with my tank and not my main dps role
next wind
I'm trying to get the gear and I only get tank option
jade quartz
@next wind Complete your dps role quests
faint flare
Do the physical dps role quest
next wind
will I get one of each?
jade quartz
I feel like this one is completely self-explanatory I gotta say
jade quartz
You can't miss out on anything.
faint flare
Grendolt stocks all job gear based on role quests done
jade quartz
You will unlock more options to claim from him.
next wind
oh okay so if I claim my tank stuff now I can still claim dps stuff when I do those quests right?
faint flare
Yes
jade quartz
Of course
next wind
okay thanks
faint flare
They're not exclusive
next wind
I thought I only get one, thanks
jade quartz
You can also reclaim them over and over

are the Demonic Attire no longer available?

what do i need for war?
vagrant copper
Custodian IIRC. Look for the Strength bonus
faint flare
Not until you're max
loud wolf
are the Demonic Attire no longer available?
@loud wolf nevermind I found it
faint flare
Substats like det and tenacity aren't important until cap
leaden ginkgo
whats it for tho ^^'

Always take highest ilvl item that gives your main stat increase (strength for war)

Damn lol
paper gulch
I just started a gathering class.. what is the quickest way to level?
jade quartz
start by just gathering stuff
leves from like 10-15 onwards
and daily GC turn-ins ("provisioning missions")
paper gulch
and just do that on repeat?
jade quartz
Yeah
paper gulch
and the ishgard restoration? how does that work? sorry i am new to this game
vagrant copper
Have you done a decent bit of the MSQ (
) yet? You need to get decently far to unlock anything like that
paper gulch
i finished up to stormblood but i havent touched any crafting or gathering until now
plush violet
Is crafting relevant in this game?
vagrant copper
It can be a good way to make gil and make stuff but it's not like you're ever required to do it.
lament wagon
it's not required but it's not irrelevant either
faint flare
Crafting is very useful
plush violet
Ok. For instance like in endgame does crafting allows u to get better gear or is the dropped gear just always better.
faint flare
Crafted gear is the best gear you can get that isn't time locked
Raiders will hire crafters whenever a new tier hits
little swift
Crafted gear is on par with some sets and is available from the start of a tier
faint flare
To make them gear
faint flare
Good for catching up as well
plush violet
I see tyty. Rly appreciate it
valid elk
what are procs and rotations?
slate arrow
proc: whenever something is triggered
valid elk
im using an archer rn and when i use heavy shot sometimes the icon for straight shot lights up and i can use it, im assuming when straight shot lights up thats a proc?
valid elk
so rotations is when you use an ability then another one lights up then you use that then another one lights up etc?
slate arrow
yes
valid elk
ah ok
slate arrow
it's like a proc, but it's 100% guarenteed
so you might as well press the next button for more damage
valid elk
thank you!
primal relic
Dumb question, let’s say I have setup my hotkeys for controller. When I switch to K+M will my hotkeys reset to K+M setting? And if I change back to controller will it be mapped back to my original controller buttons?
Sorry if this doesn’t make sense..
faint flare
Kbm and controller settings are seperate
And wont affect each other
When you swap back they'll be as you left then
twilit abyss
What should i expect if i decide to change jobs?
primal relic
Thanks, I only need to plug it in to use right?

Be prepared to level it up all over again
And get gear somehow

is there a setting for the taskbar icon to blink when you find a duty in duty finder?
silver lintel
what stats are ideal for mch?
faint flare
Weapon damage > main stat >>> crit > dh = det
silver lintel
what does that mean
faint flare
Weapon damage is top priority
silver lintel
what about the stats
idle ledge
@round walrus I don't believe there is, no. You can turn on the options for sounds while tabbed out and for system sounds while waiting for DF, but that's about it as far as I know.
faint flare
Then your main stat. Which is dexterity
Then its crit
Then Direct hit and determination are equal
round walrus
oh ok ill try to find the settings for that thanks!
faint flare
Its your stat priotry
terse walrus
What happens if I buy any item from mog station and i dont receive it?
terse walrus
1 hour ago lmao
faint flare
If it doesn't comr after like a day, send a ticket
terse walrus
Ok ty
faint flare
You can go to the mail and press the "request delivery" button
To help try and force it through
But give it time
terse walrus
Okay haha
heavy acorn
^Also make sure you had the right character selected when you bought it. I recall having that issue when I used to play 2-3 years ago.
faint flare
That to when picking up single character items
terse walrus
Yea i only have 1 char
heavy acorn
That's probably not the reason then. 😛
heavy acorn
Means the item/service applies to all characters on your account.
terse walrus
Oh ok lol
faint flare
Yeah, it you make a new character, it also gets those items
remote lintel
account wide items can take a few hours to send
prime sand
you can also goto the moogle and hit the button to have it check for the delivery
terse walrus
Oh
heavy acorn
If I have, say, five characters on my account and get the Entry level subscription that allows for just one character - is there a way for me to inactivate unwanted characters in order to play one further down in the character list?
Or do I have to delete them?
remote lintel
are your characters each on different worlds
heavy acorn
Same world, all of them
faint flare
If there's Multiple characters in the same world, the top of the list will be what you can access
heavy acorn
So I have to delete the top one until the one I want to play is on top?
faint flare
Yes
heavy acorn
Thanks
lavish vortex
what does Tank buster and Raid damage mean exactly?
primal relic
Another dumb question c1 is Ctrl+1 right? On PS4?

A tank buster is basically an attack that would hit the tank really hard
C1 is ctrl 1 yes
primal relic
Thanks
little swift
Raid damage is damage that hits everyone
lavish vortex

How can I buy a small house from someone?
I know they’re all taken on balmung
frank chasm
Oh
faint flare
Due to newly available plots having a completely random invisible timer on them
frank chasm
How can I get a house?
faint flare
That prevents people buying it
Be lucky, find a open plot then camp the placard for the whole day
Spamming it
frank chasm
Do people use bots and macros for that?
remote lintel
macros are for skills
frank chasm
No, I mean macros outside of the game
faint flare
Some might if they're really determined
remote lintel
oh
frank chasm
I can’t compete with that.
remote lintel
you need enough money first
faint flare
Its not to often
frank chasm
People don’t usually use macros?
faint flare
Not often
remote lintel
i think they just sit there and spam
slate arrow
The timer is anywhere from 2 hours to up to 3 days last time they were observed
faint flare
Maybe the rare occasional auto clicker but not often
slate arrow
point is, even with marcros it's still a crapshoot
frank chasm
Yeah, that’s what I mean. The auto clicker
frank chasm
Keyboard macro?
little swift
Numpad selections
dense pier
and does itmatter

Not really
Its whichever 3 younwant for a small bump kn stats
You can swap with yellow scrips

small bump is nice
I would 100% have picked GSM but now I'm unsure because SE isn't consistent

How do I keyboard macro?

gritty oracle
I'm reading up my DNC abilities and can I only generate esprit while I'm in the duration of Improvisation? And if it times out, will I lose unspent esprit or does it get stored and I can use it later?
gritty oracle
what do you mean by keyboard macro
slate arrow
@gritty oracle esprit is generated upon hitting enemies with weaponskills from you or your partner when standard step is up iirc
however you can't use esprit until level 76 when you unlock saber dance
frank chasm
I mean whatever the person above was explaining
subtle blade
Hey guys, ive been disconnecting every 4-5 hours of play with the error 90002, is this likely to be the server or on my end?
frank chasm
Idk
slate arrow
@frank chasm third party software such as Logitech or Razer
primal relic
Is there a keybind for f1-f12? For PS4
slate arrow
check your party targeting options, f1-f12 is valid on PC so it should also be valid on PS4
make sure you don't have to hold a function key to actually access those keys though
remote lintel
@subtle blade means there's a disconnect from your end
slate arrow
some keyboards default to the alt buttons like volume and pause play
primal relic
I’ll give it a check in a bit ty

you can wear 2 neo-ish rings

Is there a way to automatically equip souls for classes like Black Mage?

Alright, thanks!

where do we get the expeditioners set?
@lofty pulsar its a crafted item, or can be obtained from the iron-trimmed sacks of Palace of the Dead
lofty pulsar
cool
next wind
what's the best ring I can get to sit next to neo-ishgardian one? 450 ilvl one?
jolly sorrel
Quit right before Shadowbringers, just got back. Someone could give me a single sentence "state of the game"?
remote lintel
@next wind get another neo ish

Iirc in Diurnal the regen persists after dropping
In nocturnal, the damage mitigation persists and not the regen

jade quartz
standing in the bubble gets base effect
primal relic
Unless the f1-12 r on another hotbar
jade quartz
the wheel of fortune effect is a buff that lingers.

The base effect won't stay around very long because the AST has to channel it while doing nothing else

Do we know if they ever plan on making Hall of the Novice mandatory? Early dungeons are rough nowadays
next wind
ohh thanks!
jade quartz
We don't know if they ever plan on doing that.
jolly sorrel
Here's a question though. What is this new "Fellowship"system? Just FCs?
jade quartz
More like a bulletin board
remote lintel
fellowship is like a watered down fc
leaden ginkgo
I don't mean rough as in difficult @remote lintel nice try tho
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Has no proper chat
jolly sorrel
Okay, I see. So I can join random fellowships, its not a social thing

it's not a chatting thing

People on my friendslist who are (Unable to Retrieve), can I assume they quit the game? Or can it also be stuff like expired payments but they'll come back later?
faint flare
They transferred
waxen basin
are the latter as important as the former?
faint flare
You can ignore crafting and gathering if you want
But crafting and gathering can be very useful for being self sufficient and making money
waxen basin
ok as someone coming from wow it is baffling
next wind
to meld into neo-ishgardian set I will need a crafter friend right?
trail bramble
which class do you guys think are strong against end game content?
remote lintel
all of them
zinc orbitBOT
waxen basin
is there any benefits of having specific crafting job over the other? or there is catch em all?
faint flare
You'll want them all levelled
leaden ginkgo
generally you want to level them all
faint flare
Crafting is basically one big package
leaden ginkgo
Since they share materials and gear
waxen basin
oh
faint flare
As many crafts need mats from other crafters
waxen basin
same goes for fighting jobs?
faint flare
You can be only 1 combat if you want
trail bramble
my buddy said summoners are the most versatile good for learning everything
next wind
guys what's the easiest way to meld into my neo-ishgardian gear? I need someone who can meld right?
or I could do with an npc?
faint flare
Materia melder npcs
remote lintel

So... how the heck do I lock a quest on the minimap or on the screen, so I can see where I need to go
jade quartz
@waxen basin no
leaden ginkgo
Nah most people pick a fave to take through msq and break onto an alt after, but you can do whatever
faint flare
Overmelding needs to be done via people
jade quartz
play as many or as few combat jobs as you like
next wind
okay gotcha
waxen basin
but I can have on one char multiple jobns right?

yes

Yes

is there a place where I could find a best stats to meld for a mch?

Sorry for the photo and not the screenshot

white mage is easiest healer

whatever you want
leaden ginkgo
That's really up to you
faint flare
Cause its in a different area

There's no like order, pick what's most fun
limber seal
Cause its in a different area
@faint flare that... makes sense... I think
jade quartz
press M to open your map
trail bramble
yeah i know i just don't know which one to pick up
jade quartz
there will be an icon on the nearest exit to the area you need to go to.
next wind
can I use materia 5 for ilvl 480 gear? Or it needs to be 7?
remote lintel
@limber seal your compass minimap only shows the immediate area around you
faint flare
The mini map shows arrows.to thr quest if its in the same area
You can use 5s for overmelding
primal relic
Do randomizer or flip a coin that’s wha I did to pick classes
remote lintel
@trail bramble white mage is straightforward raw healing, scholar has shields, astrologian buffs damage
and uses tarot cards
jade quartz
Scholar's identity is more about aetherflow resource management than it is about shields
trail bramble
i'm just looking for a class that's a little complex with a ton of mobility
jade quartz
try bard
trail bramble
like i started enjoying samurai cause of the kenki gauge management
remote lintel
bard isn't that complex
jade quartz
no but it's high apm
faint flare
Bard juggles a fair amount
trail bramble
but if that thing wasn't there it was pretty boring
faint flare
With dots, songs and procs
remote lintel
it's not hard tho
faint flare
Its active
jade quartz
no class is hard
remote lintel
I wouldn't call it complex, just has a lot of button pressing
trail bramble
yeah for me i just want to be able to press a ton of buttons
remote lintel
then bard or machinist
trail bramble
like active off global cd
faint flare
Then bard or machinist for activr
trail bramble
I see
faint flare
Machinist has a few dead zones outside of Hypercharge but Hypercharge is sanic fast
remote lintel
yeah bard you'll be fast like 2/3 of the time
trail bramble
are dancer active as well?
trail bramble
i see
faint flare
Depends on how many feather procs you get as well
trail bramble
only reason why im hesitant cause my whole guild are building bards and machinist
lol
and i kinda want to be different
remote lintel
this might be an unpopular opinion but I'd say black mage is actually pretty fast for a caster
trail bramble
interesting
remote lintel
they have a lot of ways to speed up their spells or insta cast them
little swift
if you want , just play it
leaden ginkgo
they're slow to start but at 80 you typically stack spell speed
trail bramble
i see
little swift
thats one way to build BLM, the big crit option is viable as well
leaden ginkgo
I thought that was only in SB where both were viable
leaden ginkgo
Iirc max sps massively outperforms max crit nowadays
faint flare
Blm works on any speed level
little swift
its a sorta choose your playstyle kinda thing
consistent quicker casts vs big donks
remote lintel
just choose a class that looks interesting to you
try all of them if you want
or look up videos
jade quartz
BLM is find your comfy SpS.

@remote lintel it's not really true i think GNB will be fun as hell then i started playing it
remote lintel
lol
yeah that's why you try things out
I thought I would hate black mage then it became one of my faves

well... which is why i'm asking around what their opinions are
remote lintel
you can look up videos of the classes in action
iBluair makes good class overview vids

Paladin for solo
obsidian patio
!preferred crystal

@faint flare Heh, that's kind of what I was looking for just tried asking differently. I know a lot of MMO communities hate the word "solo play".
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
See if you can join any of these for the bonus experience
remote lintel
I think they mean for soloing EX
late musk
i can join all three
faint flare
Paladin is the only job capable of soloing all heavensward extremes
late musk
i just dont know which one
remote lintel
yeah
faint flare
And most of Alexander savage
obsidian patio
Mateus probably has a slightly better market economy of the three
split remnant
!preferred chaos
zinc orbitBOT
split remnant
So that's the recommended server to join?
remote lintel
for the exp boost
split remnant
And is there a difference between data centers?
remote lintel
not really
faint flare
Where they're located primarily
faint flare
No
split remnant
Why does Omega (or preferred worlds in general) have an exp boost and how long does it last?
faint flare
Because it was lower on population when the patch hits
It will last until.next patch
Where SE will determine which servers get and lose preferred statud
remote lintel
or it lasts 90 days
split remnant
Ah, that's a pretty neat way to improve population.
If only it was shown in server select screen it'd probably have an even stronger effect.
!preferred light
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
it is shown

There should be a star next to it at

does 430ilvl gear and 480ilvl gear make a huge difference for a pld in terms of defence (and dps) for soloing extremes/doing eden etc? I've got 430 gear free but 480gear costs 2.3mil in my server 😮
static yacht
Paladin mitigation is more damage reduction based, warrior mitigation tends to be healing based
faint flare
Very.much so
remote lintel
@next wind why don't you get edencall gear
next wind
I haven't unlocked eden yet, just wrapping up my msq
obsidian patio

forest laurel
I hope that 2.3mil is TOTAL
late musk
so does paliden put out secent damage?
remote lintel
get at least 440 ilvl and unlock eden
late musk
decent
static yacht
they both put out decent damage
faint flare
Yes
forest laurel
EVERY job puts out decent damage.
static yacht
but they're tanks
next wind
alright I'll get that thanks
static yacht
so it'll never be as high as a DPS's damage
faint flare
The balance in this game isn't like wow
late musk
difference between pal and mar
next wind
yea that's 2.3 total including accessories which is steep
faint flare
Balance id extremely tight
forest laurel
even healers are expected to DPS.
remote lintel
455 ilvl for Eden verse actually
next wind
I just bought the same gear for 800k for a mch
faint flare
Any differences is a few percent at best
static yacht
@next wind try server hopping
forest laurel
yeah serverhopping is the best option
late musk
im saying like pal heals and dps and mar is just dam
remote lintel
not imo
static yacht
It depends on how fast you want it
next wind
I want it fast 😄
faint flare
Paladin heal isn't.used in actual.conte.t
static yacht
obviously by spending a mill, you're saving like hours not grinding
forest laurel
paladin doesn't really heal that much
its heal is a worst case scenario
faint flare
Only when people are shit/solo
static yacht
@late musk mar is more healing based mitigation because of nascent
signal garnet
What do I do with all the approved stuff from diadem?
faint flare
Craft
forest laurel
you use it to craft items
remote lintel
I mean you can get 480 gear for free and even then you're going to get better gear
late musk
@static yacht talk to me like i am a child because i have no idea what that means lol
remote lintel
so you're going to replace neo ish eventually
signal garnet
Oh rip I have no crafters leveler
forest laurel
then sell it
next wind
cerberus how do you get 480 gear free?
remote lintel
edencall
forest laurel
@late musk nascent is a skill that makes the tank get back hp for hitting enemies. very good for trash pulls
!action nascent flash

Powered by XIVAPI
next wind
so by doing eden, basically get it through drops right? Isn't eden is the most challening content right now? I'm a bit worried
next wind
oh and you still get 480 drops? that's good to know
remote lintel
well
static yacht
Do note that the current eden has a 1 week lock out for loot
next wind
that's fine
forest laurel
regular edenverse isn't that bad, yeah. all normal raids are easy enough that anyone can beat them
static yacht
and you need x amounts of tokens to get a piece of gear
next wind
since I have my dps class with neo ishgardian I could just use the tokens from eden normal runs for tank gear
remote lintel
plus crystarium is 490
next wind
but that one is capped at 450 seals per week isn't it?
remote lintel
yes
static yacht
yes so it'll take more than a week
next wind
so it would take a month+ for the full set?
late musk
its saying new charqacters cant be made on any of the worlds for me. even when i can click on them
next wind
I'm planning to do eden anyway so it sounds appealing to get the 480 gear for the tank from my dps runs, I'll do that
thanks guys !
this gear stuff is not easy xD
remote lintel
@late musk they might be full because of high traffic
faint flare
!faq serverlock
zinc orbitBOT
next wind
someone said eden is locked out of drops this week? why is that?
static yacht
It's locked to 1 drop per week until 5.3
faint flare
Eden verse is
late musk
@static yacht those are all the xtra exp ones too
faint flare
Eden gate isn't
static yacht
@static yacht yeah usually the extra XP ones will have too many people on during prime time hours, so you have to wait until there's less people on before it'll let you create a character
next wind
got it thanks
static yacht
usually new content raids are weekly locked
and they become unlocked the following .X+.1 patch
faint flare
No
remote lintel
you should have one gatherer
faint flare
Combat get the same stuff
Gatherers have different pools
Usually 1 combat and 1 gatherer
static yacht
FWIW, it really depends on your needs
static yacht
if you don't find yourself needing the mining / gathering mats you can do double DPS
next wind
okay last question as it's not mentioned in the guide xD which tomestones are for the crystarium weapons? phantasmagoria?
next wind
ok thanks!
remote lintel
red = deepshadow blue = crystarium
timid dagger
I have a somewhat extensive question. I am looking into playing this game and sinking a lot of time into it because I love mmo's and ffxiv looks like a really good one. I already have a few jobs in my sight which I might enjoy. So I started playing the free trial and have a lvl34 dragoon. I wanted to ask, is there ANYTHING I have to do except MSQ when I level up? I want to reach endgame fairly quickly and I love the story already, but is there anything I should unlock already or something? Like what Blue Quests should I do and what not?
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
usually msq gives you a lot of exp
timid dagger
so I should just power through all the blue ones aswell? kk, will do so, I just dont want to reach max level and then regret not doing something and having to run through it all again
remote lintel
you can't exactly "miss" content
you can always just go back and do it
the only thing i'd recommend doing within a certain time is the crystal tower raid quests, because theres continuity in shadowbringers
timid dagger
okay good, I'll pick them out and see when I can do them etc. Thanks for the quick answers!
Is there a blue quest for like being able to use flying mounts or something essential like that? Or is it more jobs, optional raids/dungeons?
remote lintel
crystal tower quests unlock at lvl 50 once you beat the base game
flying is in the expansions only
faint flare
Blue quests unlock something
remote lintel
until the next patch brings them to ARR
faint flare
Be it a job, dungeon, new feature or something
remote lintel
to clarify, all mounts can fly, but it's currently limited to the expansion zones
timid dagger
oh hell no, okay I'll try to look for the quests that give me something essential and not an emote (obviously that is my opinion on what is essential). Thanks again!
timid dagger
I do not know what the manderville dance is essential and I am afraid to ask why it should be essential
remote lintel
do the hildibrand quests if you like story :)
terse shard
How should I go about hosting a treasure hunt? I need 8 but most of my FC just does the late game maps
remote lintel
they get you different materials iirc
@terse shard centurio discord has a channel for treasure maps
high wyvern
Can someone PLEASE try help me?
It's been a month since this problem started and i have no damn idea what is going on!
All my PC hardware have no more than 3 months use and my windows/drives are full updated
timid dagger
I will do the hildibrand quest eventually but lemme get through the game first xD But good, I am looking forward to some good storytelling in an mmo
terse shard
Oh okay thank you
remote lintel
@white sinew pick the one that you can craft with or that sells higher on the MB
@timid dagger the hildibrand quest continues throughout almost all the expansions
it's made to be played while you're progressing the story
timid dagger
Ohhhh so i have to find that bad boy somewhere, I'll use my trial to get the blue quests as far as I can I guess
remote lintel
just pick whichever venture
you just need to level them up
i think mining gives more exp but i would have to check that
faint flare
Its in roulette and it has moogle tomes so
obsidian patio
Are you a tank, nuko?
jolly sorrel
Could someone explain me the three neat little icons on the topright of any equipment?
remote lintel
oh alright
leaden ginkgo
@high wyvern have you tried reinstalling?
remote lintel
@jolly sorrel which icons
jolly sorrel
remote lintel
second means it can be stored in a glam dresser
third means can't be stored in armoire
jolly sorrel
Awesome, very cool. Thanks
high wyvern
@high wyvern have you tried reinstalling?
@leaden ginkgo I reinstalled my windows thinking it was some corrupted system problem a few days ago, unfortunately it was in vain...
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Ask in #technology-discussion
timid dagger
Oh and one more question, how easy is it to get into raids as a new player? As like a tank or dps? Back when I played WoW I used to heroic/ Mythic raid as DPS and I had no trouble getting into raiding and learning mechanics
leaden ginkgo
Jesus thats troublesome...might have something to do with the launcher, similar to pso2 probably
gritty oracle
when should I use Fey Union as a sch?
faint flare
Pretty simple tbh,make learning parties and get in
gritty oracle
also is Adlo->Deployment Tactics a poor man's Succor?
faint flare
Fey union is a stronger, focused embrace
Adlo deploy is better succor
As adlo is a stronger shield and less mp cost
gritty oracle
huh
remote lintel
@timid dagger normal raids are basically the same as trials, alliance raids are pretty easy once you know the mechanics
remote lintel
the lvl 50 alliance raids are super easy cause everyone is overpowered
gritty oracle
I'd say 50 and 60 raids and alli raids can be steamrolled
timid dagger
@remote lintel Is there any video or something kind of explaining what normal raids, alliance raids, savage stuff is or that kind of stuff? I am kind of lost when I hear those terms
remote lintel
normal raids are 8 man, alliance raids are 24 man, savage raids are the hard versions
crimson crystal
Uh you'll learn as you play the game
slate arrow
do note this only applies to ARR really. Heavensward and onwards all still have mechanics that will probably kill a fair few of the party
remote lintel
savage raids are the hardcore content
timid dagger
so like endgame raiding would be newest raid on savage? Kind of like mythic in WoW then, kk
faint flare
Normal modes are 8man raids...entry level stuff
Alliance is 24mans, think of mythic but more casual
Savage is 8man mythics
remote lintel
yes
slate arrow
Savage and Ultimate Raids
remote lintel
endgame raids are the lvl 80 eden savage
faint flare
Ultimates is mythic on fucking steroids and fighting all bosses at once with no checkpoints
timid dagger
And are older raids still relevant at lvl 80? Some of you mentioned that lvl50 and 60 stuff is steamrollable, whjch I expect as a former WoW player. You could always steamroll raids of the former xpac (atleast the latest ones)
remote lintel
only for the mounts and glams i think
faint flare
Old content is in roulettes, except savage
remote lintel
you can solo all lvl 50 EX trials on a lvl 80
faint flare
And extremes
remote lintel
in a minute
faint flare
Old content is usually for levelling. Glamour and whatever rewards it gives
Like mounts and whatever
timid dagger
ahh so it isn't like armor essential or relevant. Just for mounts, levelling etc
timid dagger
ah okay, misunderstood
faint flare
Levelling comes.from the roulette
remote lintel
^
faint flare
That throws you into random content in that category
For extra xp and rewards
Daily
timid dagger
sounds good, how frequently do raids get released? Is it like 1 Full Raid per major patch or is it handled differently?
faint flare
Savage is every even patch
Which is 6months ish
24mans is every odd patch, again every 6months ish
We get major patches every 3months give and take
remote lintel
i think we should be getting the next Nier Automata alliance raid soon?
faint flare
Though the virus can delay stuff
Yes
Next 24man raid next patch
Then the next major patch after that is the next tier of savage
timid dagger
oh lol that is kind of a lot, atleast it seems to me that way. Because in WoW it got QUITE stale after some runs and you have to wait for like 6 months for a new patch
When you say "next tier of savage" that includes the normal mode aswell I suppose?
faint flare
Well if you're only interested in savage then you.do kinda wait 6months. Odd patches are basically the casual catch up patches
Yes
timid dagger
So I take from you that the alliance raid stuff isn't THAT challenging?
faint flare
Nope
faint flare
Doable blind and on day 1 with pugs
slate arrow
*with a lot of deaths
remote lintel
i wouldnt recommend doing them blind but other people would do it
faint flare
Just dont stand in bad
timid dagger
ahh so more like a normal/heroic in WoW, got it, rather heroic I suppose
faint flare
24mans are basically "throw bodies at it until it dies"
timid dagger
okay but it sounds a thousand times better to get something inbetween
twilit arch
alliance raids are effectively lfr
timid dagger
And how does gear compare from an alliance raid and a normal mode raid? I suppose Savage exceeds both easily, but how do those two compare?
twilit arch
alliance raid gear is going to be better than normal
timid dagger
like do savage raiders gear with the next alliance raid for the next savage or what happens?
faint flare
Normal.mode is 10 ilvl weaker than alliance raid of the same tier
Savage raid is the highest ilvl, along with augmented tome gwar
remote lintel
for pre shadowbringers you don't really need gear from raids
slate arrow
Alliance raid gear is the same item level as the current Limited Tomestone gear
twilit arch
alliance raids are there to supplement tomestone pieces that you haven't gotten yet
remote lintel
for shadowbringers the savage raid gear is the best gear
timid dagger
So I get savage gear and wait for the next savage raid to replace my savage gear?
timid dagger
I'll figure out what tomestone is as soon as I reach shadowbringers
twilit arch
tomestome are end-game currencies
faint flare
Tomestone are special currencies
twilit arch
poetics being for old content
timid dagger
So a mechanic to somewhat combat rng?
twilit arch
allegory and phantasmagoria being for lvl 80
remote lintel
not really
faint flare
No, you always get tomes when doing content and ir gives different gear
timid dagger
@twilit arch excuse me for not knowing these terms, I have never played the game I am just really interested in raiding in mmos so I am quite clueless when it comes to the mechanics of this game
faint flare
Savage raids have a item called Books that you always get on yoyr first clear of the week
Which can be used.to buy savage gear
timid dagger
and a book is like book = piece of gear?
twilit arch
basically, think of tomestones like old valor tokens
remote lintel
you start getting tomestones of poetics at lvl 50, which is used to get the endgame gear for the pre shadowbringers expansions, then at shadowbringers you get 2 new types of tomestones for that endgame
faint flare
The books are basically your failback
twilit arch
if you played wow back in like wrath or mop
faint flare
Usually is 4-8 books for an item
timid dagger
yeah I know valor tokens
faint flare
Depending.on whar said item is
timid dagger
you use them to get gear
twilit arch
that's what tomestones are used for
timid dagger
Usually is 4-8 books for an item
@faint flare that makes sense, kk
twilit arch
and at end-game, you use a mix of allegory tomestone and savage gear for your bis
because augmented tomestone and savage (except for weapon) are going to be same ilvl
so it'll come down sub stats at that point
timid dagger
okay, sounds good, and I heard something about weapon relics? How are they handled? Is it still relevant? Do you level them like in WoW (If you even know how they worked there)
remote lintel
old relic weapons are for glamour
static yacht
weapon relics are almost never BiS
faint flare
Relics are upgradeable gear
twilit arch
the current relic weapon is a decent stepping stone weapon
static yacht
they're usually catch up mechanics
faint flare
That upgrade over the course of the expansion
twilit arch
until you get savage or tomestone weapon
faint flare
They are typically.the best weapons at the END of the expansion
timid dagger
ahhh cool, sounds like a good way to handle those things. Nice
faint flare
But they're pretty grindy but very shiny
remote lintel
not the lvl 80 one xd
faint flare
Yet
timid dagger
Sometimes fashion is the true endgame
But they're pretty grindy but very shiny
@faint flare
remote lintel
fashion is THE endgame
faint flare
We know that
timid dagger
Good to know that it is also in this game
faint flare
Glamour fantasy 14
static yacht
actually, isn't technically the ultimate weapon still better than the relic weapon
even @ end of expansion
timid dagger
And how is PVP in this game? I've seen some top 100 mounts which are a lot better then the gladiator mounts in WoW. How's PVP looking=
faint flare
And we dont know what Shadowbringers relics will look like at the end
torn bane
is there a deep dungeon for ShB?
static yacht
no
faint flare
Pvp just exists
remote lintel
pvp is........alright
remote lintel
i mean the armor looks nice
faint flare
I mean its somewhat like league if its an mmo
remote lintel
which you exchange
faint flare
Limited skills and everything is equal
timid dagger
Oh okay, any of you attempted top 100 for the mount?
faint flare
So you focus on objectives opposed to rotations
remote lintel
hahahah.....no
crimson wind
How do i get access to the HW HM trials?
timid dagger
I like the adding of the dots
hahahah.....no
@remote lintel
Sure, seems nice enough for the next weeks of doing nothing, looking forward to playing this game! Thanks for the answers
remote lintel
@crimson wind do you mean extreme?
static yacht
@crimson wind The HW didn't have HM trials only extreme
static yacht
it's confusing cause in ARR it goes normal --> hard --> extreme
but HW goes from normal --> extreme
crimson wind
faint flare
^
remote lintel
crimson wind
Kinda stupid they called the NM trials HM
faint flare
Hard modes are just the denotation of it being 8man
Opposed to 4man like garuda normal
crimson wind
I thought HM just entailed they put it at level cap
static yacht
and then in SB they don't call it hard or anything.. lol
faint flare
For dungeons it means its higher than last time and usually at the cap
SEs lovely inconsistenties
static yacht
mmhmm
crimson wind
Well, Castrum Fluminis is 8 man
static yacht
has it been confirmed that we will get no hildebrant this expansion?
faint flare
I believe so
crimson wind
Actually there are multiple 8 man trials that do not have HM
twilit arch
yes....as i said
faint flare
Or the least this patch
lime sphinx
If i specialize , as a crafter, can i change it back after?
faint flare
Wont
twilit arch
hard mode for trials is dropped after bismarck
twilit arch
which is why saying hard mode = 8 man is not entirely correct
lime sphinx
oh ayt thats good
grand orbit
So i just finished the MSQ for a Realm Reborn and got the relic weapon quest. Is it worth doing or should i just continue with the main story? I read that you dont need it to do the Eurekan weapon quests
next wind
so I'm thinking 430 ilvl gear u get for free, since it can be claimed over and over, does it mean I could use it on all of my retainers?
twilit arch
yes
obsidian patio
@grand orbit no. Expansion relics don’t need previous relics done to do them
They’re all completely isolated from each other
grand orbit
Cool so i shouldnt even worry about it right now and just continue on with the Main story?
obsidian patio
Yep
grand orbit
Thank you very much!
remote lintel
it's grindy anyways
obsidian patio
Only go for the old relics if you like the looks, since you can get weapons that are nearly as good as their final stage for vastly less effort

About how much exp would a sunken temple of qarn get you?
Just the normal one, off roulette
Wanna know if it's 300,000 or more
