remote lintel
reef reef
I just dont know how many I have
dusky echo
you need to spend them anyway or you waste them
remote lintel
character > currency
reef reef
what gear part is the priority?
dusky echo
weapon > body
reef reef
okie
strong sphinx
ok i dont have any 6 materia yet, should i buy them?
little swift
weapon > chest/legs > gloves/feet/head > accessories
faint flare
Not really
remote lintel
don't you have cracked clusters or whatever
reef reef
👍
strong sphinx
not sure what those are but after checking inv i dont think so
remote lintel
strong sphinx
what if I throw my materia 5 inzo mx gear?
dusky echo
so long as you have level relevant gear, till 480 I wouldnt bother
dusky echo
materia gets expensive fast
strong sphinx
I see! alright that cleared up a lot
reef reef
for return player, ffxiv completed version does not give out 30 days sub?
remote lintel
that implies you already bought it
faint flare
No since you have the base game
remote lintel
oh
reef reef
so my move would be buying SHB and 30 days
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
yes
little swift
the benefit of throwing 6s in is that you can remove them with 100% chance of success
faint flare
And give the most stats
reef reef
👍
little swift
but if you're still transitioning through gear, maybe hold off unless there's some substat you really like having at certain tiers
i.e. WAR not having enough sks
faint flare
Do eureka
remote lintel
accept your fate
tribal estuary
^
faint flare
You'll need to level up in eureka to get the rewards from the fates to get said crystals
tribal estuary
They made the farm a lot easier
reef reef
Will I have a decent start @60 with everything here?
remote lintel
yes
reef reef
noice
faint flare
Yes, enough poetics to buy alot of shire pieces
tribal estuary
If you are low level in eureka then there is a potion made specifically for eureka which increases xp gain
reef reef
👍
tribal estuary
Harmony Potion
faint flare
Also challenge logs
tribal estuary
Ye, logs inside of eureka will give you several levels a week
remote lintel
is it a healer struggle to try to heal someone whos about to die but they die before you can press the button so you end up using the spell on yourself
is this my life now
faint flare
Nah the real trigger is they die as the heal goes out
So they get the heal after they die
slate arrow
server ticks
fresh lodge
The real solution is to not let them get so low in the first place
agile laurel
Is there any way to show what an item would look like dyed?
obviously: before buying it
little swift
yes, if you right click > try on the item
you can right click it again in the preview window and "dye preview" it
assuming its dyable of course
latent bloom
Also, there will be a small circle on the item which will tell you if it is dyeable on the top right of it's icon.
lilac mulch
im almost 55 what should i do from now on, still just do msq for leveling up? what about gear etc?
<-- summoner
latent bloom
MSQ is always a good way of going about things.
little swift
gear is dependent on how far you are into msq
lilac mulch
lvl 50 msq
little swift
if you're in the Post ARR gauntlet
grabbing poetics gear as you go is ok if you have poetics
other than that keep plowing along
once you get into heavensward proper
lilac mulch
not known to the terms
little swift
you'll get msq gear as well
lilac mulch
little swift
poetics is a currency you earn from doing lv50+ content
you can open your currencies tab with ctrl+c
and its under battle
you can spend it at mor dhona, to buy ironworks gear
lilac mulch
the one at top right 672/2000
little swift
post -arr is the set of 100 "lv50" quests
that don't give much exp
but are a wrap up/lead in for the story
you have 672 poetics
glass pike
probably you got asked that a lot but which eu server with healthy community is worth joining? was thinking about omega but its locked
little swift
!faq serverlock
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
servers in a given datacenter will have cross-datacenter matchmaking
so population is less important
but trying to get into a preferred world is nice
for that road to 70 double exp buff
glass pike
any idea what time more or less server should open for char creation? thanks for answer as well
lilac mulch
i want this but it requires some other items
little swift
usually you find more luck outside of prime hours
little swift
super early in the morning or super middle of the night
10 rowena's token of poetics and 1 encrypted tomestone
glass pike
@little swift all right thank you for the answers
slender jasper
Im not sure if this is the right channel to ask for help
Anyone free in ragnarock eu to help do Alphascape V1 for Datalog v1.0 need few unsunch run plz
twilit arch
msq/alliance/trial roulette or any lvl 50 dungeon/trial
when you get to 60/70 content, those will also reward poetics

So I'm at the point where I choose a Grand Company, does the choice matter/make any difference?
faint flare
No

!faq grandcompany
zinc orbitBOT
midnight slate
Do mods work if I install them while the game is running
lime sphinx
I'm hesitating between Monk and Dragoon, anybody can give me their opinions ?
slate arrow
you'll probably cause a crash more than likely
@lime sphinx I cannot recommend MNK in it's current state
lime sphinx
oh why?
slate arrow
It's still viable but the kit feels incomplete
plus the rotation doesn't really change from 50 to 80
you just have more stuff to weave
lime sphinx
hmm kk, but i heard that dragoon didnt feel too fluid until much later
with animation locks and all
faint flare
High jump makes jump feels nice
slate arrow
it's still in a better state in comparison to MNK, imo
faint flare
Monk is fine functionally but design wise it conflicts itself
lime sphinx
and what about dark knight ?
lime sphinx
does it feel good to play?
slate arrow
DRK suffers from everything good is loaded into stuff past 70
It's the squishiest tank until you get your 70 capstone
and you don't get your second AoE step until 72
lime sphinx
Cause i already have a pally 80, i'm mainly looking for a fun 2nd class
oh so low roulettes is basically a 1 button spam aoe
faint flare
The placement of skills are weird
Especially since it JUST got reworked
Which i find funny
slate arrow
it's definitely the most questionable tank of the bunch for leveling
It's solid at 80, don't get me wrong
But leveling it is suffering
lime sphinx
okay so any fun class then ? xD
slate arrow
Gunbreaker is pretty alright
if you can put up with the fact you start at 60 and everything is handed to you at once
lime sphinx
yea i dont mind that at all
slate arrow
I'd recommend GNB then
faint flare
Gunbreaker is a very active tank in terms of button presses
It feels like a dps
And is pretty slick
slate arrow
It's also the most complete of the tanks at 50 and 60 personally
faint flare
Not having continuation at 60 makes me saaad
lime sphinx
dancer looks cool, but i can't seem to find any cool looking weps lol
faint flare
Yeah, dancer weapons are most meh..
Not too much you can do on that design space much
slate arrow
yeah there's not really any glam weapons for gunbreaker or dancer yet
lime sphinx
yea most dancers just go with the same dress and thats about it
slate arrow
the only ones are the deep dungeon ones and the shinryu crafted weap
mint nest
Does fighting get better/faster at higher levels? Im low lvl and feel the combat kinda slow
faint flare
You're missing like 90% of your buttons
At low level
So you dont have much to press
slate arrow
I'd say 50 but level 50 jobs also were also designed around cross class actions so it's not really fair at that level
mint nest
Yeah but still i see the 2.5GCD kinda high xD
faint flare
You'll get off globals to use inbetween
slate arrow
!faq weaving
zinc orbitBOT
mint nest
Ohh that changes a lot
weak bolt
Hey all, I haven't played FFXIV in ages but was thinking of hopping back in. It says I am eligible to be referred. Is this something that would help anyone out with some referral program?
mint nest
Im planning to play Sam
faint flare
Once you get off global skills, combat feels better
Cause you get shit to press while you wait on the gcd
mint nest
I wish It has a fast gameplay
lime sphinx
you can use my code @weak bolt i'd be glad
weak bolt
@lime sphinx sure DM me!
slate arrow
SAM gets a 2.1 average GCD when shifu is up
faint flare
Samurai is decently fast with the Shifu speed buff
slate arrow
it's pretty fast
faint flare
And it has many off globals due to kinki
Like shinten and stuff
Ofc you'll also be doing positionals so you'll be moving often
mint nest
Aight gotcha guys, was debating myself if buying the game because i felt really slow but that sounds better
faint flare
You can look up fight povs of endgame content for a glimpse of what its like
lime sphinx
you can always look at rotation videos
woven token
Early game is definitely slow and that's true for any job. Which can be a nice break when you roulette into something low
slate arrow
never
mint nest
Another question i have. How is PvP content?
slate arrow
It's side content at best
slate arrow
All jobs use simplified versions of their kits
It's dramatically different in comparison to pve
woven token
Pvp is 50/50. It's fun to do, but most people who run it, run it for speed. IE: expect a lot of thrown games.
faint flare
Especially with rival wings offering tomes
Though i do like rival wings especially as Gnb
woven token
Any controller tanks in the channel atm?
faint flare
Hello
woven token
Oh cool lol. Trying to squeeze my pally stuff into two hot bars. 2 slots short, is there anything relatively safe to combine in a macro (or just drop?)
slate arrow
you could drop shirk if need be
just know enimity will be tight for tankbusters in extremes and savage
faint flare
If you're not doing 8mans
I throw extra super conditional skills on the wxhb bar
So its accessible but out the way
slate arrow
There's an FAQ for this somewhere but it's possible
faint flare
Diagonal
woven token
One horizontal, one vertical. And a diagonal sharing the two
little swift
basically you draw a triangle with all the seals
faint flare
^
little swift
or ↙️ like that
slate arrow
Even with an optimal 7 sticker layout though it's only about a 2* chance of getting 3 lines
2%
slate arrow
understandable
next wind
it's possible to do HW and SB raids unsync right? Do they still have the same drops - mounts, items etc?
savage ones I mean
slate arrow
yes
but I think mounts have a boosted drop rate with minimum item level
in extreme
agile laurel
Came back to ast after leveling the other healers - both whm and sch have enough healing resources for cure II or the nearest equivalent to be a 'last resort' heal - does ast just not follow that concept?
it seems i'm just pressin benefic II
slate arrow
okay gotcha
next wind
ok thanks
slate arrow
@agile laurel benefic 2 is cure2
essential dignity does have boosted potency the lower the target is
woven token
Sorry for the crap quality, on ps4 and havent figured out how to grab my screenshots yet. What would you recommend moving to free up those 2 slots for sentinel and passage of arms? @faint flare
agile laurel
yeah, i'm aware - but whm can use lilies/assize/tetragram/benison/bene you get the picture before having to press cure II, sch has literally every aetherflow action before having to press physick
faint flare
You can put sprint on macro 98 or.99 and use them via L3/R3
agile laurel
but ast just seems to be forced onto benefic II much more
faint flare
Which frees a space
slate arrow
@agile laurel essential dignity gets two charges later on, as well as many more healing abilities
agile laurel
fair. i'm 68 here
woven token
Oh, didn't know that. I've set literally every class up with sprint on LT+triangle for the muscle memory lol.
faint flare
Its very handy to have on L3/R3
slate arrow
recommend you put it on right stick
so you don't accidentally trigger it sometimes with left stick
faint flare
What i do
woven token
Yeah, I don't use the first person mode ever so no issues dropping that
mossy tartan
Regarding the market board sale system using the retainer - do I get a notification if I get a successful sale on one of my items?
faint flare
Especially since L3 is weapon draw/sheathe to change target filters
woven token
If you're online, yes
faint flare
So i can target non party members
You get a notification if you're on and not in a instance
slate arrow
only if you're online and you're in your home server
faint flare
And home server
slate arrow
Instances and world visiting do not let you see retainer notifications
mossy tartan
If you're online, yes
@woven token I was offline for about 13 hours, I logged in now to check that the items I put on sale are no longer there, probably sold, right? I don’t know if there’s a time limit of sorts
slate arrow
Also, retainers don't update until you open them
woven token
Vinny, it's starting to sound like there's a ton of controller tools I haven't been using lol
slate arrow
mostly to cut down on server load
faint flare
Why does everyone call ke vinny Reee
slate arrow
just open a retainer and select entrust or withdraw gil
slate arrow
is that Vinny from the famous streamer channel vinesause /s
mossy tartan
Ohh, right! My retainer has the sum of the gil of the items I put on sale
woven token
It was actually an auto correct for me lol. A channel I guide for has a Vinny so it's one of my more typed Vs.
mossy tartan
thank you everyone : )
slate arrow
just make a habit of checking your retainers for Gil every so often and you should be good
faint flare
legit my static calls me vinny from like day 1
slate arrow
poor vinyl lol
woven token
Well, you should be doing ventures as often as possible so checking shouldn't be an issue
faint flare
But yeah, using the expanded hotbar (hold both triggers) is a good thing.to give a ton of extra space
slate arrow
those are basically gathering missions you can send retainers on
faint flare
Ventures send your retainers to get shit for you
slate arrow
makes gathering some materials less of a hassle
mossy tartan
Wow
slate arrow
very helpful for hunted mateirals
woven token
You send them out for some time and they come back with items. Items depends on what their job/class is
slate arrow
All combat retainers bring back the same stuff
mossy tartan
Perfect!
slate arrow
while miner, botany, and fisher bring back their specific things
and only if you yourself have them in your gathering log
mossy tartan
do skybuilders’ hemp (grade 2) count?
woven token
Key thing to note, they can't out level you in whatever you set them as, and the Gatherers can only gather something you've yourself gathered before
mossy tartan
Or diadem items collectively
faint flare
They dont do diadem stuff
slate arrow
They cannot gather ishgard materials
mossy tartan
ahh, sad
faint flare
Only stuff found in the gathering log
mossy tartan
Wanted to sneak my way out of trying my luck there :<
faint flare
Just buy them for dirt cheap
slate arrow
but they can gather the mateirals for the non-ishgard item needed for ishgard crafts
mossy tartan
Perfect, thank you. things truly get easier with a retainer : D
woven token
Tbh there's 3 things I usually use my retainers for. Combat for my leathers/odd reagents because actually going out and genociding entire populations of mobs isn't my idea of fun. Gatherers on certain time locked nodes for gil or crafting use, and quick exploration because I like to gamble.
I 100% have 6 lol
And somehow 5 of them are 175/175
Thanks again for the help VINYL, I'd tried to keep everything set to the two to avoid using a non cross hot bar to communicate cooldowns, but oh well. I'll find somewhere to stick it and just use the combo bar.

im a big Fan of final fantasy, but I never tried 14 before seeing as it was an mmo, is it worth checking out if you are going into it without any friends at all?
I checked some guides aswell and Scholar seems nice
forest laurel
you can solo the entire story yourself, not counting the dungeons and bosses.
those you will have to do with randoms.
next wind
I'm watching a tutorial on a rotation and the guy in the video got a really nice list of skills, is this some external tool or the game can show the rotation like this?
strange coral
Yes, you can play solo for the most part. There are some group activities that are required to progress the story, but those have matchmaking.
faint flare
External tool bruce
celest wagon
Matchmaking, nice, that would help alot
faint flare
Its a thing for ACT
forest laurel
the story can be done with any job, even a healer so you don't have to worry about it being too hard
next wind
hmm I might get it then cuz it would be good to see if I hit my rotation correctly, any idea what it's called?
faint flare
Nope
quasi spire
is it possible to play overworld with one job and queue for dungeons with another?
celest wagon
Thanks for the heads up, Ill be trying it out then, its just 10 bucks so why not
faint flare
Summoner and scholar level together so it shortcuts the "level other job"
So you can summoner outside and scholar dungeons
quasi spire
i switched to samurai post 50 but dps queues are soul crushing so i'm switching back to paladin
strange coral
There's also a free trial that lets you level all jobs to 35 if you don't want to buy just yet. Although if it's on sale, it might be worth it to jump on it now and get the free 30 days.
quasi spire
problem with paladin is that it takes 500 years to kill mobs
celest wagon
REally? didnt see that on steam
forest laurel
idk how you're playing pld if it takes you 500 years to kill mobs 
quasi spire
ilvl is 100ish
faint flare
Youre behind on gear
celest wagon
Wow, thanks alot! now its easier to just play the game then ask questions
faint flare
If you grav ironworks gear in mor dhona with poetics you'll kill alot faster
strange coral
Feel free to ask too. That's what the channel is here for
quasi spire
i just got up to 100 ^_^ samurai ilvl is 115ish because i'm using poetics gear
celest wagon
Cheers 🙂
eternal sable
First time approaching 80. Research indicates I should do my Resistance Weapon quest for the 485 weapon, but it requires 3 raids from Stormblood. What is the best way to get those 3 raids done?
forest laurel
duty finder pretty much.
eternal sable
Ah okay, thanks. I haven't used DF for a 24 person raid yet
faint flare
And other people needing it for relocs
forest laurel
and yeah, event + relics make them a hot spot
faint flare
You really should do crystal tower as its mandatory next patch
Its the 50 raids
And it gives more dialogue options and changes in the Shadowbringers story
lime sphinx
Guys someone's trying to use my RAF code but he doesnt find where to enter it ?
eternal sable
Thanks, I plan to
faint flare
Do lv50 content
Doing the side dungeons at 50 is a good idea as you'll get bonus poetics on youe first clear
forest laurel
lvl 50 dungeons give some, extra if there's a first time bonus.
faint flare
Ontop of what they give
And crystal tower as well to unlock alliance raid roulette
Which is very good for xp
faint flare
If there's 2 asts yes
remote lintel
so you can put both shields and regen on someone at the same time
twilit arch
yes

On the subject of stacks, does Medica 2 stack with another med 2/regen?

dense pier
So I saw #494379215420915712 , are FCs cross world?
twilit arch
no
faint flare
No
twilit arch
FC posts should have their world listed in it
dense pier
Then is it just to reduce channel clutter to have separate channels for servers?
twilit arch
yes
there's no real reason to have multiple channels specifically for each server for recruitment
remote lintel
otherwise there would be like 18 channels
where do you buy level 40-50 accessories

@white sinew The dyeable versions of the 80 AF gear is obtained by running Memoria Misera Extreme and either rolling on the coffers or collecting the totems to purchase the coffers

The support desk has nothing for this kind of thing and RMT isn't right

If its sketchy its basically rmt/botting

If it's asking for real money in game I'd say that's grounds for reporting to RMT

@strange coral i found him and got a totem from him, but i can only ask him about the spellbook or blue magic, nothing to buy

Define playable? If you're not trying for high end parses in raids, I doubt you'll notice.
If you are, then you will

My goal is to do hard raids but idc too much bout damage, as long I can stand in the middleground
green pagoda
does mentoring yield any benefits or just for the help of others?
quasi spire
at higher ping, play a little conservatively when it comes to dodging aoe attacks
faint flare
Single weaving is fine
And you'll have to move sooner to dodge stuff
Cant greed as much
leaden ginkgo
altho i am using a hot spot, in light for example it is at 90 ms ping
jolly sorrel
The game is "designed" around having about 200 ping.
leaden ginkgo
so if i want to progress to the difficult raids i should go for a local datacenter i guess
faint flare
Or nose into a vpn
jolly sorrel
Progress is waaaaaay fine with your ping.
jolly sorrel
Like I said, if you're not going for top dps charts and stuff, you'll learn to play around your ping.
leaden ginkgo
ah ye my goal is to make a dark knight so dps wont be too much of an issue for me hehe

Well everyone is expected to dps

anyone know how to get some crafters level 65 equipment?

@green pagoda you get access to the mentor roulette which has achievement rewards tied to it

as someone who just hit 80, what are tomestones of phantasmagoria good for besides gear that's worse than crystarium?

so if i'm not interested in DoH stuff then i don't need to bother
faint flare
Its free money
twilit arch
you can sell the materials on the marketboard
faint flare
To sell tjem
tribal estuary
Even though i have no idea where to start , I know that material buying can be lucrative if you are sensible with the market
clever cave
If it says market prohibited = cant sell on marketboard
Otherwise , look up the prices for all and pick your favorite
tribal estuary
As something I can't wholly recommend , but can help earn you a little extra if you are sensible , is to keep an eye on the vendor trash items
lime sphinx
Guys is the starter edition the one with the 30 days ?
obsidian patio
Yes.
Complete edition also has the 30 days if you don’t have the base game registered for that platform
mental garnet
so i could either get allegory tomes with some of the roulettes and not get XP on my level 80 class, or not get allegory tomes and get XP on another class
is it basically a preference thing? or does everyone do it one way over the other
twilit arch
then don't worry about allegory
warped nest
You get minute amount of Allegory from other roulettes

Around how much damage should I be doing as gnb in something lime amurot?

I think it was Arcanist, but just to make sure, I want to play Scholar
twilit arch
arcanist is the base class for scholar, yes
celest wagon
Thanks again
dusky echo
scholar owns bones
it's just less popular than whm atm because of aetherflow stacks being a game of chicken with your co-heals

Not quite sure what AF means, but I read that scholars prevent damage more then they actually heals, so preferable it would be the scholar preventing damage and the White mage doing the actual healing when preventing damage isnt enough, at least thats the way I interpreted it.
leaden ginkgo
@leaden ginkgo a "sort of" work around is that you can copy-paste into the password enter box. So you can technically keep a word file or something with the passowrd and just copy paste if it's ahrd to type
Thats what i do XD
lunar wagon
Glamor wise, is there a way to hide the offhand weapon on paladin?
leaden ginkgo
gotcha :p. would totally get not know of that option so thought I'd mention it
lunar wagon
I thought there would be an offhand thing like "The Emperors XXX" for it

there's an invisible shield that can be bought with mgp in the gold saucer

if you mean shield, yes you can buy the emperor shield from golden saucer

and then glamour it on the actual shield

The A12S mount is guaranteed to drop each run, correct?

how does horoscope work
do I set the horoscope then do helios/aspected then do horoscope again
faint flare
Use it > use it again for 100 pot heal
Or
Use it > helios/asp helios > use horoscope for a 400 pot heal
twilit arch
its a free ogcd AoE heal that you can prep for
since a fair number of fights have a raid wide go out shortly after the start, you can precast horoscope > extend with helios > pop when needed
faint flare
Yeah

I have a question what equipment do you get in the Tales of adventure one summoner journal II. I cant use it unless I delete the duplicate of black mage

You get 390 scaevan gear
If you have poetics, buy the augmentation materials for scaevan gear so they're augimented scaevan or turn them in to your Grand Company

what exactly do player commendations do
slate arrow
@azure kettle kinda yes kinda not really, just use party finder or get a friend, but right now are peak hours so DPS queues for leveling, MSQ, and 50/60/70 dungeons shouldn't be no more than 10 minutes
@quasi spire makes you feel good and a requirement for combat mentor status and an achievement

Am i doing anything wrong or HW main quest exp is just so pathetic? 16k per quest?

@reef reef Are they post Heavensward quests

When you finish shadowbringers

@night canyon no
night canyon
That’s when i lost mine tho....
faint flare
Entirely
night canyon
I had mine all through shadowbringers
reef reef
Not sure, the one i just finished was the antitower
faint flare
Because you need to past 192 hours play time
slate arrow
did you use a skip book
night canyon
No
faint flare
As well
night canyon
I lvled every class to 80 at the same time
fresh lodge
You need to finish Stormblood and have a total of 168 hours of play time
night canyon
I had over 500 hours before shadowbringers shrug
slate arrow
you lose your sprout when you have 168 hours of /playtime + have finished the MSQ quest A Requirum for Heroes
If you didn't lose it after both of those, you probably had a bug.
night canyon
That’s possible
reef reef
Why do you not want it 😄
fresh lodge
Are you sure you're not thinking of the returner flower?
reef reef
i want to keep my flower forever

I never left
I haven’t I subbed since I started at shadow bringers release
Probs was a bug
*unsubbed
night canyon
Maybe a graphical glitch from the clothing mods I use
quasi spire
where can i see current playtime?
night canyon
Well I don’t know if others could see the sprout indust, only that I could
But anyway yeah off track
Take these other people’s advice over mine in this case
quasi spire
83 hours, so almost exactly halfway. still doing 2.4 era quests so i'm a ways off
slate arrow
@night canyon if anything it could be an overflow error if you went over 1024 hours of playtime
night canyon
Yeah it took me around 500 hours to finish from starting to shadowbringers end, take your time and enjoy the ride minds
slate arrow
but otherwise I got nothing
proper sonnet
the leaf is just an indicator for mentors to invite new players to the novice network

integer overflows on 64 bit machines are highly unlikely

I never did bother with the novice network.
The constant invites were annoying

yeah but this is FFXIV we're talking about which has a base from ff11 and they had to make the current network systems in less than two years

Depending on skill

Is it worth doing the Warrior Relic quest?
slate arrow
no
night canyon
Fair. Then pick whichever is cooler to you theme wise
Difference is basically nothing for lvling

Relics are grindy glamour

id say rdm is stronger :)
leaden ginkgo
Meta is really the only area that matters for strength :p
clever cave
if you want an opinion lol
prime kite
But RDM gets locked while casting spells ?
clever cave
ya its a caster
night canyon
Backflips aren’t easy you know
prime kite
So MCH would be more mobile and ABC ?
slate arrow
ranged DPS are always more mobile than casters yes
night canyon
But you won’t notice much at all while lvling and doing lvling quests and side quests
slate arrow
RDM is the most mobile of the casters since you have an instant ranged cast for decent DPS/resources if you have to move
night canyon
You’ll kill stuff equally easy
slate arrow
backflip is DPS loss half the time with all the falloffs and death walls
prime kite
I don't know
night canyon
Style gain tho
clever cave
watch some videos of end game mch/rdm and see what you like
night canyon
And baxkflippig off walls is always good for a laugh or two
slate arrow
Personally, you can't go wrong with either
prime kite
KInda hard to choose yet knowing RDM in statics in game always taken
slate arrow
But I'm weird in that I love almost all jobs equally
fast kernel
Only DPS that is ehhh rn is bard
clever cave
so is ranged phys dps
slate arrow
except MNK and WAR need a rework badly but that's just my opinion
fast kernel
Whats wrong with WAR?
night canyon
War is my least favorite tank due to its lackluster defensive compared to my paladin
prime kite
If I had the time to do that I would but no I like focusing on one character
night canyon
As paladin I can just heal myself if the healer is shit
faint flare
Nascent flash my dood
prime kite
So all comes down to ping then ?
prime kite
Cause I live in Queensland Australia though
night canyon
Keep in mind I don’t ever raid
clever cave
mch a little rough with higher ping
night canyon
I only do the 4 man content
slate arrow
The kits are designed around savage first, everything else second
slate arrow
and WARs is kinda lacking personally but that's just me
prime kite
So RDM does better AOE at 80 (for dungeon clear) ?
faint flare
You can still nascent flash a random person in 4mans
night canyon
So I just like paladin because I can do big pulls and instant heal myself if my healer turns out to be a potatoe
fast kernel
Lacking in terms of what?
faint flare
For the healing
slate arrow
all jobs do AoE alright
prime kite
I meant between mch and rdm for aoe
fast kernel
Only tank which i hate and love at the same time is GNB
night canyon
Granted I barely played the war once it was 80
night canyon
I just got it there for the sake of doing it then dumped it
fast kernel
Holy shit they are bad
slate arrow
@fast kernel rotation feels boring, I hate that inner release or the level 70 version is on a 90 second cooldown, it's not very active and it feels kinda boring
clever cave
i think mch has better aoe in dungeons
slate arrow
it's just an alternate version of DRK for me at this point
night canyon
I hate the face you have to be facing mobs with the opening warrior aoe I’ll admit
fast kernel
Fell Cleaves go BRRRRR
night canyon
The 360 aoe opener is much nicer
fast kernel
I pretty much play all of the tanks besides PLD
fast kernel
PLD has a strict AF rotation
night canyon
I don’t really know anything about that. I just press shit lol
I don’t do savages or anything
Mostly it’s just spin to win aoe
fast kernel
No point in picking up a class if i can't bring it into savage and do decently well
slate arrow
my only complaint for PLD is that it feels terrible down at level 50 and 60 is only marginally better
night canyon
Over and over on trash pulls
fast kernel
Yeah
clever cave
pali in dungeon is nice and easy lol
slate arrow
PlD gets full AoE combo at 35???
night canyon
You have the two aoe@abiltiies from lvl lvl 35
fast kernel
not the aoe combo
slate arrow
unless you mean holy circle

Since the class rework
gentle marten
are the hildibrand quests limited?

i believe i already completed after her own heart and im suposed to talk to ellie in ul dah for the next one but she's not here
night canyon
I still need to do its post 50 class questions actually....
fast kernel
DRK is fun and i think has the 2nd best personal defense just because of TBN
night canyon
It seemed to have a nice story but it’s weapon clips with my hair style so
I don’t use it too much
prime kite
Back to question in hand for first fresh 80 MCH or RDM though
little swift
and see previous quest objectives
fast kernel
I'd say RDM
night canyon
RDM would be my choice but they’re both cool
fast kernel
Easier to pick up
little swift
hildy is under side story quest
pallid eagle
MCH has more damage and way better mobility than RDM
gentle marten
seems i already had done it and left off in the science of deduction ty
pallid eagle
and there are no cast times to root you in place like there would be on RDM if your a MCH
slate arrow
that's not exactly true according to FFLogs but alright
pallid eagle
ou will also have a lot of mobility to run around that you might not as a RDM
fast kernel
RDM has embolden
clever cave
drakeos have you played with the two best mch/rdm with bis gear to back up your statement? lol
fast kernel
Dank buffs
pallid eagle
My RDM is at 72 atm been busy killing eureka for weekly
But what iv heard from few fc friends

ok
slate arrow
you can't say MCH has more damage than an RDM without proof
little swift
slate arrow
hi channy please don't hurt me
zinc orbitBOT
clever cave
anyway, the person asking doesnt care about the meta, they just wanted one that is good to play for their first class with ping on the higher end
little swift
if ping is on the higher end i'd go with rdm
slate arrow
agreed
little swift
intuitive rotation and very shiny explosions
clever cave
yea agreed
obsidian patio
Depending on how high your ping is, RDM goes to being one of the worst classes to play on
little swift
not to say you can't play mch though
slate arrow
MCH isn't much better
faint flare
Yeah...then cry when dualcast is recognised too late
little swift
just hypercharge will be challenging
remote lintel
do alliance raids without roulette give good exp
faint flare
And you hardcast thunder/aero
clever cave
n ono no
slate arrow
not really
faint flare
prime kite
Really RDM relys on ping ?
obsidian patio
The dualcast proc
little swift
it just plays against server ticks
slate arrow
all jobs rely on ping to some degree
little swift
for dualcast
faint flare
If its too high dualcast is recognised too late
hard aurora
faint flare
Noticeable if yoy have a lag spike
slate arrow
I've ran into the delayed dualcast before it sucks
pallid eagle
<<< Im australia ping and never had any problem

if you can comfortably double-weave on a class you can realistically play either
clever cave
yup thats true

May wanna take this chat over to #general-discussion

What about summoner how hard are they to learn/master since that one only at 30

It eases you into.it but its complex at cap
With all the little things you.need.to.do
leaden pond
Hi uhhh i wanted to know if it was possible to complete sigmascape v4 savage in unsync with a 4 players party 😭
faint flare
To not be screwes by pet ai
faint flare
Se pet ai is kinda bad
leaden pond
Ouchh i get it, thank you so much, cant even imagine bahamut's raid
clever cave
yes the little things like pet ai does make it harder
the learning curve from lvl 70 > lvl 80 goes up a bit
(on summoner)
warped seal
I'm gonna cut you off on the pet ai topic.
prime kite
Okay now comes down to mobility and survival yet could do RDM to 80 then MCH after ?
warped seal
The only thing governed by pet AI is auto attacks/heals. Any other pet action must be input by the player.
There is a delay of about a second built into pet action execution
faint flare
Then you dupe pet actions and have them not come out at all for 10s
warped seal
then don't chain Pet oGCDs 
clever cave
well yea the point i was getting at was that the player must learn to not ghost their pet
a little thing
warped seal
SMN pet actions are globals, you can chain those. But don't hit Egi Assault then Summon Bahamut/Phoenix cause you'll ghost the actions
And you should be putting a GCD between Whispering Dawn and Fey Illumination so they can both go off on time.
agile laurel
Ast guide doesn't seem to clarify - for dungeons, should I have not prepped a divination before the boss, in order to sleeve draw and divination on the pull?
Or is it largely irrelevant whether I divination then sleeve draw 3 and sit on 3 seals for the entire fight
jolly sorrel
It looks like WHM had a big rework. What are my best AoE options as a lv70 WHM now?

Depending on how long pulls take, you may or.may not have divination back

While leveling up, seems healers are most in demand, then tanks. Does that demand change much at endgame raiding? E. G. Current savage and ultimate raiding

duty finder's demand for jobs isn't really there for savages and ultimates
faint flare
Plus there's more.dps jobs
forest laurel
yeah pretty much everyone and their cat plays dps
eternal sable
Yeah browsing through recruitment posts, there were obvious trends
forest laurel
tanking and healing aren't for everyone too, bc they have to deal with a lot more

Yes and up to you

@unique oasis that Target setting lets you choose whether you cycle through enemies from left to right or from front to back
Ignore Depth always make you switch to the next target to the right, regardless of its distance
while Cone switches you to progressively farther away enemies as you keep switching targets
right
robust cypress
Another question how do I summon Bahamut I'm using energy drain but I think I'm doing something wrong
clever cave
what level are you
robust cypress
70
clever cave
you need to use dreadwyrm trance twice then u can summon bahamut
mint nest
Where can i lvl from 11 to 15? Swapped Job and cant find quests of my lvl
clever cave
then at level 72, you only need to use it once
faint flare
You need dreadwyrm aether, whixh is gotten when dreadwyrm trance ends
tranquil valve
The old-school way was to do FATEs outside of Aleport. Dunno how reliable that is now.
robust cypress
If you have it yet dungeons are the best to level
clever cave
yea hunt log is an easy lvl 15
mint nest
Aight thanks guys :D
proud willow
I've never tried it
it looks like it makes it so that if you click on nothing, it will assume you were trying to click the closest thing
tranquil valve
Well, in that screenshot, the option not enabled.
warped nest
You weren't on Others
This setting is a tad confusing
You are assigning groups to your filters
Then in game, you adjust the filter on the fly (the filter is displayed near your HP bar?)
I don't remember how to do it on keyboard mouse though
The drop down is for you to assign different groups to different filter
It is not preset
One sec
proud willow
yeah, that's incorrect
If you're set to Others, and you check something, it changes to Custom
you can't change the definition of Others there
jolly sorrel
So Hydatos solo, should I be trying FATEs or just grinding normal mobs?
prime kite
So comparing RDM and SMN summoner would be more easier to dps ?
tranquil valve
I would say RDM is an easier job to play, but honestly, play what you like.
agile laurel
and much less additional tech to consider (freeweaves etc)
warped nest
OK, I got it wrong then
I thought there is a way to cycle between All, Friendly, and Others
But apparently not
Procs?
Yeah, my bad
RDM has lower skill floor compared to SMN
RDM do have "techs", but not as much as SMN

How can I level squads faster?
viral moat
Hi! I am currently just getting into crafting and looking for some information. I played a really long time ago during ARR and there was something called cross classes and you either had to omni craft or not craft at all. But I heard they changed that now and no more cross classes
is there a point to leveling everything now?
My friends are all crafting too. Should we all do a different crafting class?
faint flare
You ideally want to level other crafters and stuff still due to crafrs needing other mats from other crafters
You can get away with only 1 crafter but you'll need to buy materials and stuff which eats into profits etc
viral moat
Oh I see. I only just hit level 60 weaver so I'm not sure if I should continue to 80 or level others up too
faint flare
No reason not to tbh. Other than taking timr
viral moat
doesn't most of the materials come from gathering?
faint flare
You have thr gear mostly
Yeah but you'll need the things those materials make from other crafts
Ie logs from botanist need to become lumber made via carptenry to be used in like armoury or the like
Or leather from leatherworker used in some weaver receipes and so on
faint flare
If you wanna pass mats around
And cover specific crafts
Levelling all crafters/gatherers basically makes you self sufficient
viral moat
ahh I see
faint flare
Ofc levelling all crafters do allow you to self repair all your gear as well
Which is a very nice QoL thing
especially when you accidentally ignore the "your durability is low" warning when queing"
viral moat
LOL I see okk! thanks for the info! It's hard to find updated crafting information online now
faint flare
You level via leves and daily company turn ins for the most part
Ishgard restoration is the main new thing for levelling crafters
viral moat
how about gathering?
faint flare
Leves and company turn ins
