typically you can sell for more money on market board
but sometimes people are dumb
obsidian patio
For the most part, yes
lilac mulch
and npcs will buy for bottom price only
faint flare
They'll buy for whatever it says
static yacht
yes
hover over it if you can sell it for more on market board do so
otherwise sell to NPC
or hold onto it to sell at later date
faint flare
Remember to check listing by hitting the note on the corner
To see what others put it up for

my raid run just started cant check it now
what do people spend gil later on ingame? gear power or just cosmetic

What does it mean to enrage a boss
What happens
dusty jungle
and glamour 
dusty jungle
it is a timer, kill the boss within x time and if you don't its a guaranteed wipe
faint flare
From start to enrage
slate arrow
enrage is the hard end of the fight
faint flare
Where the boss auto kills you
slate arrow
since the attack is a ohko
does damage cap of 9999999
oh and it's also a unique type of damage
goes through all invulns on tanks
faint flare
usually if you've seen enrage you theoretically know the whole fight
And should be capable of killing it

Hiya i was wondering if anyone did Sigmascape V.4.0 Savage and could tell how it is
slate arrow
unsynced or synced
leaden pond
I'm curious cause there's no one tagging for it and i was just wondering if it was hard
uuuh unsynced i think
if it's easier
cause i'd like to do it to unlock UwU
slate arrow
it definitely requires coordination but your DPS is high enough to skip some mechanics assuming you have a full party
leaden pond
An unsync party is like 8 players right ?
pallid eagle
@signal garnet MCH
green grail
you can probably do it with your uwu group then it takes like 5 minutes
pallid eagle
But remeber MCH is 44.0 in CPM chart
leaden pond
Oh right, well for now i have no uwu groups but i'll try to find people
pallid eagle
As well as bard
leaden pond
thanks for the advises ! 🙂
slate arrow
MCH isn't as bad nowdays
Since you only have to press everything in a certain rhytmn

Ah. What characters are on the slower side of things? I’m not the fastest with clicks and button presses
upbeat storm
any character can be on the slower side
little swift
Keep in mind this is at like almost perfect play
upbeat storm
depends on how much you care about the game vs your hands
signal garnet
I just want something that’s simple but effective. I’m not the quickest and my personal dps isn’t the best unfortunately.
pallid eagle
Summoner
upbeat storm
well casters are easier on the fingers but you gotta know the boss and timers to be good
pallid eagle
Summoner would be your best choice
remote lintel
black mage?
pallid eagle
Since CPM for that class is low
upbeat storm
isnt blm hard
pallid eagle
Or BLM
remote lintel
no
pallid eagle
Hard to master
remote lintel
its just confusing at first
slate arrow
BLM uptime is hard to master
pallid eagle
Since you stuck in animation casting when mechanics happening
little swift
Drakeos I think you may want to consider giving advice once you've played the jobs to a more reasonable extent
slate arrow
especially since they're the most mobile of the casters but require very good party positioning
pallid eagle
Nm ill stop
heavy jasper
do get the crown thingy for mentor, do you need to have the job quest at lv80 done for all 3 roles, or just 1?
little swift
Just relying on cpm data and your opinion isn't the most helpful
All 3 roles

Summoner was really cool but there’s a lot of buttons to keep up with lol
upbeat storm
is there alot on smn?
twilit arch
personally if you want a simple but effective job, i would recommend rdm
yes, smn has a lot of buttons
upbeat storm
im going through it and bound all buttons and it doenst look like alot
remote lintel
i thought the question was for a slower class?
rough lance
anyone hav a ss of omega boots of fending being dyed red in colour?
upbeat storm
unless i get like 7 extra skills not on the list
remote lintel
#glamour-discussion probably
twilit arch
granted, smn is still pretty in line with most jobs
remote lintel
@rough lance or you can just try on the boots and preview them dyed
twilit arch
but they definitely are on the higher side, i personally feel
rough lance
well i don hav the boots rn
remote lintel
you can preview them at the vendor
rough lance
and tthinking whether it's worth to get it
twilit arch
you can preview them at the npc in rhaglr's reach
signal garnet
I already have it at 73 so maybe I’ll just keep going and cap it
upbeat storm
well you have a healer too then

nascent is pretty

Nascent flash is really nice
rough lance
hmm ok thanks time to farm
pallid eagle
Wasn't WAR more easier to learn ?
little swift
Pld is actually 123 124 555
signal garnet
I’m mostly playing gnb. For some reason it felt really easy for me to play
upbeat storm
yeah but it doesnt dump that on you during the learning process
signal garnet
I’m trying to learn warrior though to have another tank under my belt
remote lintel
do dark knight
little swift
War has a simpler less busy burst rotation
signal garnet
The only thing I really don’t like about it is that it’s pretty fun for 10 seconds and then there’s a long down time
Sorry if I went off topic
remote lintel
ur not
upbeat storm
if offtopic was actualy moderated strictly the mods would be banned too
signal garnet
little swift
The "challenging" bit of war is really beast gauge manipulation
signal garnet
I just make sure to keep 20 on me at all times

paladin's rotation can be very easily written out and never deviated from

paladin has a fairly tight to perform loop

Why is nacent flash good? I know everyone says it’s good but reading it for some reason I don’t understand why it’s so hyped up

the simplicity of WAR comes from how "unga bunga" it is to do your job
slate arrow
WAR is probably a top tier for dungeon runs though if you don't really poke savage content
little swift
it only becomes sorta complex when you start fiddling with FCs in IR or upheaval alignments or gauge management
slate arrow
that lifesteal is so nice when you pull wall to wall
little swift
things like how many FCs do i do within a given storm's eye buff
super extra knowledge that's not required
next wind
when raid savages are cleared which drop mounts, it's only 1 per party per clear right? and everyone rolls?
little swift
yes
slate arrow
yes, but you can't get it twice on the same character and it's not weekly locked out

wait, you mean if I roll and miss I can't run again and try to get it?
faint flare

okay that's a big deal 😄
faint flare
Gotta wait if you failed to get daddy ramuh

thanks for the info, fingers crossed!
wait it's the same for all raids even alexander? or this is eden only?
next wind
ohh okay, I thought so, all older ones are fine
signal garnet
Ok so I was able to get like 7 fell cleaves at once at 72. Is there a way to get more?
faint flare
Thats all you can do
5 from IR, 2 from infuriate
Well
2 more if you have 100 gauge at the start
proud willow
It appears to be a model viewer, not something you use while running the game
faint flare
2 raw > 5 in IR > 2 from infuriates
signal garnet
faint flare
Though doing 2 raw FCs while capped at 2 infuriate stacks is bad...you would have to end up aligning it so the cooldown of infuriate is about 10s+
proud willow
They've banned someone before for data mining and posting their findings, I think, but they really can't do anything whatsoever to stop you from viewing models and not saying anything about it
faint flare
So you dont overcap on infuriate charges
ivory iris
what stats should I be prioritizing as GNB
pallid eagle
Hmm i'm looking into Bard any changes since stormblood currently 64 (considering leveling one up to 80)?
faint flare
Comfy sks (can be any level) > crit > dh > det
next wind
so this is a weird one, but when ascending / descending (even really steep) my actual ground coverage speed is the same isn't it? or it slows down the steeper it gets?
faint flare
Biggest Change from stormblood for bard was its HUGE dependence of Crit
pallid eagle
Ah
ivory iris
does that also apply to caster classes
faint flare
As the song procs used to require dots to crit
static yacht
@ivory iris it depends
faint flare
However that's gone now and the proc chance is a flat rate
ivory iris
BLM
faint flare
In addition, barrage gives straight shot guaranteed and refulgence arrow is a upgrade of straight shot opposed to being seperate
ivory iris
yeah I'm definitely in the high spell speed build
static yacht
SMN / RDM want very little spell speed
faint flare
Removal of crit dependence and slight change with refulgence/barrage are the real main changes for bard from stormblood
raw solstice
BLM has no 0 spellspeed build
raw solstice
it doesn't run at 2.48 GCD though?
it's still 2k sps
it uses the SMN/RDM BiS, then swaps out some tome vs savage pieces to get a still solid BLM set that ends up around 2k sps
which is super not even close to 0
static yacht
mb I got my numbers mixed up should not discord during work
steep heron
I want to put my Terpander Lux into my Glamour Dresser
But the game wont let me?
faint flare
You need a replica of it
Full relics dont go in the dresser
The reconstruction node in azy la where the relic stuff is should sell you the replica
steep heron
ah okay ty. I was wondering why my Pyros Blade had the same issue.
any reason they dont go in?
faint flare
Again, relic themselves dont go in the dresser
Probably due to funky coding and stuff that goes on when it gets restored
So they can't go in
Only replicas can for relics
You que for them all

And get put into whichever fills

How do you make it so that when you change classes/professions, you get all new hotbars? I don't want any hotbars displayed from a class im not playing.
obsidian patio
Character config > hotbar settings > shared
And select what hotbar are shared between all classes or class-specific
faint flare
@hexed mason you still got the frew trial. You want the starter edition for the base game
Shits weird
hexed mason
yeah, confusing and PSN interface doesn't help either
austere vale
the shared hotbar does not make sense. If I tick hotbar 1 then it disappears 😦
faint flare
Because its a "new" hotbar
You'll have to redo it
But it will then be shared between every job
Ticked = it wont change when you swap
Unticked = it will change when you swap
warped nest
It doesn't come with smart feature where it will do "oh, you want to share this hotbar with every other jobs? No problem, now this hotbar setup is the one every job uses and it will sync"
You are making it as a Shared hotbar
It is not a feature to share this hotbar setup to other jobs

Quick question for a low level player: Light party dungeons require tank/healer/2dps. If i'm in a 4-man party is this restriction ignored?
tulip plover

Only if you turn unsync/undersized party on
You dont need the one time password
Its optional protection

I thought the restriction was removed if you're in a preformed party?

In A1 the wiki suggets cutting down Faust before worrying about the adds, does that mean to not even AOE and just full on single target damage him down?
@spark yew ilvl is high enough at this point that you can safely ignore adds for that portion of the fight
spark yew
Alright, thanks :)

How tf do you open inventory ps4
warped nest
Press Option
Dpad down a few times, inventory
If you want it to be faster, you can open your Action & Trait window, look for Inventory button in General (around that part)
Then assign it to one of your shared crosshotbar
stark shale
I just got my first armor with materia slots. At what level should I actually start worrying about materia?
proud willow
honestly, it's fine to ignore materia until you hit level 80
stark shale
cool, thought that might be the case
proud willow
It's safe to use them earlier, since you can pull lower level materia back out and not lose them
but the bonus is really minor prior to 80

Anyone got advice for leveling AST as a new player? Trying to do PoTD but im in Tonberry as an EST time player and the lvl 11-20 queue is kinda dead during the evenings
proud willow
for healers, running the highest available dungeon is better than PotD
though if you prefer PotD, you should solo or duo through 1-50 if queues are a problem
51-60 is the efficient and popular set of floors
delicate stone
Is it hard to solo 1-50 / is there a preferred class to make the solo easier?
junior yacht
no
proud willow
I haven't done it on multiple classes but it's not hard with a healer
junior yacht
tank or healer will get you faster queues
delicate stone
Gotcha, thanks!
grim sable
I really want to be able to get the Warring Lanner Whistle from the event, but I don't have friends on the game. Any tips on finding a group? I just recently returned to the game
proud willow
you're trying to earn it from the event, or from the trial that drops it?
grim sable
From the event, I didnt know there was a Trial for it
proud willow
Yeah, everything you see in the event (other than the neck piece) is already available in the game
this just provides a different way of earning it
grim sable
That's a relief.. how rare is it from the trial? I'm a healer so I can queue quickly if I wanted to
leaden ginkgo
Oh, as in you want moogle tomestones? Duty Finder would be enough I'd think
simple shore
Cant really "queue" for that
proud willow
if you want to earn the event tomestones fast, some people do fast runs of Aurum Vale. Or you can just queue up for one of the long dungeons (Castrum Meridianum/Praetorium) a bunch of times
grim sable
@leaden ginkgo There's a type you can only get with a full party, I believe
proud willow
the trial is Sephirot EX
grim sable
The Irregular Tomestone of Soldiery is the ones I'm talking about
proud willow
it's been a while since I farmed for it, I'm sure you don't need a full group but I don't know how many are recommended
leaden ginkgo
Oooh I member now yeah
proud willow
and it's something like a 20% drop rate, I think
leaden ginkgo
I forgot there was a second event along with the moogle thing
simple shore
It's Heavensward content so if you're 80 solo is probably possible. Duo maybe to deal with certain mechanics of it.
proud willow
Irregular Tomestones are the moogle thing 
grim sable
I'm not finding Sephirot, I'm guessing you have to unlock it somehow?
proud willow
it's called Containment Bay somethingsomething7
whole wasp
the 
is in Azyz Lla i think
grim sable
Okay, thank you everyone
little swift
you need to have finished the quest "Gods of Eld"
which begins at the pillars
in ishgard
blazing frigate
I'd just like to say that, if you're jumping back into the game for the first time in like a year and a half, both story content and gameplay mechanics are not quite easy to remember lol
grim sable
I've been back for a while now. I just dont remember everything
I got back like, 2 weeks ago
blazing frigate
It also doesn't help that I just got a whole bunch of new stuff right before I stopped playing last time, so -shrug-
I'll get the hang of it eventually
proud willow
for all 3 healer classes, the way that you do damage is far far simpler than any other class, even at the level cap
alpine fossil
seems like its gonna take forever to kill mobs tho
as arcanist i had fester
at least
lvling this scholar outside of dungeons seems tedious
dusky echo
yeah so you get art of war eventually
proud willow
your damage won't be that much lower, it's just that it's easy
dusky echo
and that really ramps things up
alpine fossil
ah
proud willow
also, killing stuff solo out in the world is such a low percentage of what you usually do
MSQs are like 5 minutes of talking, 2 minutes of travel, 20-30 seconds of combat depending on if you're healer or not
so even if your damage is lower, it's a very small impact on how long it takes to do the quests
dusky echo
also you almost cannot die
blazing frigate
My problem right now is that I'm playing a WHM atm, and I have no recollection of how to heal using a PS4 controller in a group haha
dusky echo
where a dps who pulls more than like two mobs is probably in trouble

How can i farm money for lvl 5 gear
dim ridge
oh honey uhh
sage plaza
do msq
dim ridge
then it wants you to do sidequests that give it
proud willow
that quest cares about the Item Level of the gear, and all of the starting gear is Item Level 5. I think you should be all set other than perhaps a hat
stable herald
Erm, do you still use Medica when you have Cure III?
sage plaza
yes
proud willow
yeah
sage plaza
range is big factor
stable herald
in what situation do i use one or the other?
proud willow
Cure III has a small radius and will only hit multiple people if they're standing really close together
stable herald
What is the use of Assize apart from being a giggle inducer
sage plaza
it's a main damage dealer
stable herald
Emergency heal?
sage plaza
you use on cooldown
proud willow
in many endgame fights, you'll be able to count on people doing that. outside of those situations, not really
sage plaza
the heal is secondary
proud willow
and yeah. Assize's damage is so high that it's a shame to hang onto it in order to make use of the heal
stable herald
assize even in single target?
proud willow
yup
proud willow
Medica 1 isn't used often either, once you have access to Medica 2
sage plaza
med 2 shouldn't be used often either, once you have rapture
stable herald
im 56 atm
so im sorta revising the skills
since I level healers only to max everything
sage plaza
then you're mainly talking about dungeon healing then
sage plaza
don't really
stable herald
do explain
sage plaza
no i mean you're right
stable herald
please explain*
proud willow
it's used after a raidwide
stable herald
oh
hoary storm
Anyone know which boss in halatali drops the darklight corselet of striking, if its first boss or last boss?
sage plaza
though if you have time to heal with med 2, you might be better off using asylum if it's available
stable herald
Kinda more of a UI q, but I've arranged my skills based off how often i THOUGHT they would be used
Since I thought Cure II and regen would be my bread and butter
proud willow
you'll have two single-target oGCDs soon, both of those are used pretty often
stable herald
so correct me if I'm wrong
Cure II is my usual single target, with Bene and Afflatus for post tank busters
Medica II is for my post raid wide/AoE
Stone and Aero should always be used with Assize on CD
Holy in 2 or more?
oh. ok
proud willow
mmm, there's nothing about Afflatus that makes it a "post tank buster"
it's just a better Cure 2 that you usually-ish have access to
stable herald
well, erm, quick heal, i guess?
since it insta casts?
I dunoe, im judging only based off reading the skills
sage plaza
sounds about right for your needs and level skilluse wise
stable herald
cool. thanks
sage plaza
i'd suggest getting used to using asylum more as well
stable herald
gosh. so many healing skills
proud willow
if we're being efficient, Bene isn't meant for saving either. Optimally, every time it's available, you should dps until the tank's about to die and then use it
proud willow
but that's more advanced than most people would think during a levelling dungeon
sage plaza
tank big pull, you holy until the tank's almost dead, bene them, holy until adds or tank is dead
tidal dove
Hi. I'm kinda new to the game . I'm trying to play as a machinist so I've started leveling an archer. I'm currently at level 33. What other class do i need level to unlock machinist?
proud willow
there's no required class
it can be unlocked as soon as you get to the start of the Heavensward expansion, regardless of your class
tidal dove
ok so i just have to run to the expabsion and talk to someone there to unlock it
proud willow
Do make sure you pick up the Bard job if you haven't already—you don't get any additional archer skills past level 30
tidal dove
so i shouldnt level past 30 then?
little swift
you don't exactly run past the expansion
you have to level past 30 or you won't enter heavenward
the game has it locked behind the main story
proud willow
Bard is the job that Archers use. so you'll still be the same level when you put on the Bard soulstone
you won't be losing anything, it is purely beneficial
tidal dove
ok where can I get a Bard soulstone?
little swift
!faq job

proud willow
if you've done all the Archer quests, the first Bard quest will show up in the Archer guild

How tf do you solo Bay s1t7 EX wtf lol
proud willow
Heavensward EX trials are pretty tough to solo
PLD for best results, yeah
maybe/probably not even possible for now on other classes
grim sable
ugghh
proud willow
people do farm parties for EX trials in Party Finder
grim sable
The queue was over 15 minutes for a healer, and Party Finder doesnt have anything

Where can i buy materia 1-4?
Try to meld zodiac scroll.
proud willow
there's no vendor to buy them with gil
little swift
you can buy them from marketboard
proud willow
You can get them on the market board, or get them by doing your own spiritbonding
little swift
or spiritbond it yourself
grab level 10 gear from a vendor
and use spiritbond potions
uncut girder
Ah ok. Any tips for fast sb in specific location. Or doesnt matter
proud willow
ARR relic can be suuuuper obnoxious, make sure it's really worth it 
i.e. don't do it if you're just looking for a good weapon
uncut girder
Im pretty far i guess
little swift
you can do it with fate grinding on level or running various content
proud willow
if you want a good weapon, you're gonna want to just get Augmented Ironworks. even from where you are now, it's going to take 20x longer than getting Aug Ironworks
or if you're well past 50, have someone craft you a weapon

hi guys i am new in game i am GLD lvl 14 what is the best way to level up fast i do right now FATE ,Main scenario quest , side quest , hunt , eat food 3% , and hunt log 9/10 any advice
proud willow
!faq glamourdresser
zinc orbitBOT
proud willow
that will let you save sets of glamour and apply them in one click
leaden ginkgo
thank you !
slate arrow
@turbid vale do your Main scenario Quest, run your Highest Level Dungeon until 47 for EXP,
leaden ginkgo
i just got the event gear and i don’t think i’ll ever take it off my samurai lol
slate arrow
those are the two most important things until you don't have anymore msq
proud willow
if you're at the level 14 MSQ, you're very very close to unlocking dungeons. You'll get a massive amount of XP from dungeons
turbid vale
any gear i can buy to boost my exp
leaden ginkgo
MSQ, food exp, Free Company exp, and roulletes are all you need.
There are other options, but you you can get by with thay
slate arrow
@turbid vale no
leaden ginkgo
Other then the hall of the novice rewards, no
But
You don't need that anyway
Or rather
proud willow
Once you're level 15, look for an NPC with this icon: 
leaden ginkgo
The HoN is massively helpful
proud willow
do all his missions and you'll get a bonus XP ring
leaden ginkgo
But, you don't need more then HoN
marble drift
If you think going from 1 to 15 is rather slow
Have you considered that you're playing the wrong genre of games

marble drift
have you played any other MMOs?
turbid vale
a lot
leaden ginkgo
Yeah, but the way your asking implies your having problems leveling :p
marble drift
Ok well 1 to 15 in ffxiv is very short. I don't know why you're looking to accelerate something already fast
turbid vale
no i like to do it fast the ffxiv is end game content sm i right
little swift
end-game is not the goal here
proud willow
According to a lot of people, no
little swift
ffxiv is a Final Fantasy game first
marble drift
ffxiv is what you decide it to be
marble drift
others purely play for the social aspect

slate arrow
it's not uncommon for most people to only subscribe around the time when patches come out
in fact I think this is the lowest the population has been due to the delay of 5.3
(purely speculative, though.)
marble drift
I believe there to be a steady stream of returnning or new players
because of isolation
its a great way to kill time and have fun
slate arrow
True.
marble drift
but its equating to a net zero sum people are letting thier subs run dry because they're done with the content for the time being

I was told there is a dungeon that actually drops a mount from a boss. Can someone tell me what dungeon its is?

ruby willow
Isnt Gunbreaker still the best rn?
oak ice
Clemency is dumb when you don't have to worry about enrage timers
slate arrow
simply because of this dumb spell
ruby willow
For tank atleast
oak ice
Damage wise, yes, but not for soloing
wispy stag
Lol just think Paladin in WoW, common occurrence in MMO's for Paladins to be powerhouses
slate arrow
PLD and RDM are common sights for people looking to solo or unsync content
ruby willow
They sucked for raiding. Hell in classic they where healers. Tank and dps was ass on them
marble drift
except
little swift
not the same game
ruby willow
I mean yeah. But they weren't needed
wispy stag
Either way, PLD is pretty good in FFXIV from what I've seen so if you want a good class to eventually solo some good stuff, it's a good choice
slate arrow
FFXIV paladins are probably the best overall right now as a generalist, but they excell as a tank
mainly because they get a 10 second stretch of time where they have free ranged instant cast attacks
so positioning the boss or doing mechanics are slightly less painful
ruby willow
I leveled one. Only up to 30 mind you which doesent mean much. But idk. The next tank imma level is gunbreaker
wispy stag
So when I level a new class after my BLM hits 80 / does all the MSQ, I don't need to do MSQ again right? Like if I do a different class I can just level purely with dungeons or raids
marble drift
ya
proud willow
that's correct
wispy stag
And all my aether currents will still be unlocked?
marble drift
you only do MSQ once. (you can redo some with the New Game Plus feature but its not mandatory)
proud willow
You'll have to do a new set of job quests
wispy stag
Lol I liked Stormblood but anything ARR related I would not want to live through..
proud willow
and if the class isn't a magical DPS, you'll have to do another set of role quests in order to claim your level 80 outfit
marble drift
ok well you're missing out on the strength of FFXIV Poogles
wispy stag
Alright yea my next class will be a Bard so I'll just have to get gear through my crafters
marble drift
just saying
ruby willow
I know. I plan on learning the story after the fact. The story I know is good. But the story quests themselves are boring as fuck
round jay
Thats what youtube cutscene compilations are for
ruby willow
I think the only reason I hate MSQ is just cus it feels like a chore ya know? I'm doing shadowbringers now. And I have all my friends having fun and doing raids. And I have to do all this MSQ to play with them. Its annoying. I wish the MSQ was like. A side thing that gave you a bunch of cool rewards. But you could do end game stuff without doing it.
marble drift
100%
ruby willow
I know I know
wispy stag
IT's very rewarding for me so far to do the whole story and all the unlocks and getting to play with people along the way that are also experiecing that with me
ruby willow
But it's the only mmo that's good on console lol. And my pc is broke
warped nest
friends don't last forever, fantastic FF story does
ruby willow
And I mean the end game is super fun. So I wana expirence it
warped nest
Joking aside, if your friends have tank/healer job, they can queue with you to speed up your story dungeons
ruby willow
That's not the problem I am a tank XD
wispy stag
The endgame feels like a small percentage of what FFXIV actually is
slate arrow
no but really playing through the game only looking at the end is not the way to go
round jay
There are many ways to play a game
slate arrow
FFXIV is probably the only game I've truly gone in blind in and my experience was that much better
warped nest
Play the game for yourself, don't do it to catch up with your friends is the only good advice I have
slate arrow
I mean I did have friends who taught me stuff when it was relevant
but otherwise it was just me and the story
ruby willow
If it makes you feel any better. I watch each cutscene for 15 seconds. Then if it's boring I skip. If not I'll watch it
slate arrow
oh completely agreed
2.0 still sucks to go through
2.x is at least decently interesting
leaden ginkgo
yeah it must be this guy is running the entire dungeon w no tank stance
slate arrow
oh the poor fool he didn't get the memo on the tank rework for shadowbringers
ruby willow
To respond to people saying play at my own pace. This is my pace. I plan on either doing NG+ once I'm 80. Or watching YouTube vids on the story.
Because I am interested. I just wana enjoy the game for the content I am interested in. And I cant do that till the MSQ Is over.
round jay
Thats valid
ruby willow
Tell them they are stupid
leaden ginkgo
they really are
slate arrow
party > vote to dismiss
leaden ginkgo
they all three are agreeing tho
ruby willow
That's why I wish I could change class mid dungeon (I understand why you can't though that would be a balancing nightmare)
So any time the tank is dumb I can tell them to fuck off and I can do it for them
leaden ginkgo
i’m the only one w brains
slate arrow
then just leave and go grind gathering for half an hour

This isn't a channel for ranting about bad party members.

The optimal levelling for healers is via dungeons right?
proud willow
yep, highest level dungeon (other than 50/60/70)
tulip plover
So you can change to whatever class you want pretty much?
pliant cosmos
yep @tulip plover
proud willow
Other than inside of a instance (like a dungeon) or during combat, you can switch at any time
tulip plover
So really theres no need to have more than 1 charactee
pliant cosmos
yup
tulip plover
Then why do they give us the option of 40 =.=
stable herald
Cz some people want alts
pliant cosmos
well, with the normal sub its only 8, but even then its mainly just for trading on multiple worlds or just people liking having alts
people have RP alts, and dungeon alts

Cuz im pretty sure it takes a long time to get to max

it really do

Ive been waiting on a game that makes lvling harder
Feels like ive invested time
stable herald
Hrm. But im assuming I'll really struggle with Aug Ironworks for pre 60 dungeons?
As healer
warped nest
Aug Ironwork is good up to lvl 55 ish dungeon
proud willow
yeah
stable herald
Cz i seem to be levellin p quick
proud willow
by 57, you would want to have some upgrades, especially the weapon
stable herald
Im not sure i can get the new gear on time
proud willow
quests will give some HQ crafted gear
warped nest
For reference, lvl 53 dungeon drops i130, same ilvl as Aug Ironwork
proud willow
MSQ and sidequests
stable herald
Nah. This is levellin alt classes. So its pure dungeon runnin
warped nest
So if you pick up some stuff from lvl 55 dungeon and MSQ, you should be more than equipped for lvl 57 dungeon
proud willow
ah, just buy from MB then
stable herald
I guess
warped nest
You can probably get away with Aug Ironwork waist and accessories all the up to lvl 60
I would at least upgrade weapon, chest, and pants
leaden ginkgo
Guys, casual has been in hiatus for 6 months, good time to come back? Or should i just wait until next expansion?

I just leveled through all that and Aug ironwork got me through everything, quest gear will get you through 60-70, and Scaevan gear at 70, not sure past that 😛

They are leveling alt jobs, they are done with MSQ
