tulip plover
#

These are?

pliant cosmos
#

oh, those

slate arrow
#

@tulip plover your inventory

pliant cosmos
#

thats your inventory

slate arrow
#

namely what slots are currently used

pliant cosmos
#

shows you what spaces are full

tulip plover
#

Ah ok

#

Thats cool

pliant cosmos
#

blue means non-full stack, red is full stack, green is equiptment

warped nest
#

The two rows left of the 4 grids is your current equipment btw

slate arrow
#

also pale red means broken equipment

warped nest
#

@tulip plover i noticed that you have 99 gils, if you don't mind me being nosy, you can check your Challenge Log (weekly rewards) from your menu, and see if there's any Gil rewards you can easily claim for easy gils

frail fulcrum
#

Can I upgrade to all of the complete editions in mogstation for perks?

tulip plover
#

Wait gil challenges? :0

#

@warped nest

warped nest
#

Can I upgrade to all of the complete editions in mogstation for perks?
@frail fulcrum you can upgrade, but I don't think there's any perk

tulip plover
#

Challenge log isnt available :(

warped nest
#

Ahhhh

#

Huh...

nimble holly
#

are you onyl allowed to have 1 FC submersible?

#

it wont let me register a new one despite me havign all the parts

frail fulcrum
#

@warped nest I mean the bonus in game items?

warped nest
#

Yeah... I don't think there are any.

#

Those are, AFAIK, preorder items

#

Collector Edition just give you cool looking stuff: mount, weapons, dresses, etc

frail fulcrum
#

Oh

#

I meant collectors edition, my bad

idle ledge
#

You can have more (my FC has four), but there may be conditions to unlocking past the first. Someone who knows more about subs than I would have to go into more detail, though.

frail fulcrum
#

Thanks @warped nest

warped nest
#

No problem

frail fulcrum
#

I can buy all right?

warped nest
#

Yes you can

frail fulcrum

warped nest

Just know that it is all comestic stuff

frail fulcrum
#

Ye

#

I want dk cecil and fat chocobo

warped nest
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

oblique yew
#

What's the default key for LB?

warped nest
#

It is a combat action on your hotbar

#

I don't think there is a keyboard key or a controller key to do Limit Break directly

acoustic shadow
#

Not sure where to ask this, but is there a guide on how to make a char that doesn't look derpy?

slate arrow
#

nope

junior yacht
#

not that i've seen

slate arrow
#

generally the first face is always going to be decent, the other three ymmv

silver ruin
#

what cutscene is that long

#

what dungeon is it

slate arrow
#

what was the name

teal isle
#

oh geez totorak, yeah?

slate arrow
#

yeah that sounds about right

teal isle
#

that one is kinda sticky bc if you don't know not to jump off the platform it kinda forces you into the fight

#

w the slide mechanic

slate arrow
#

ARR cutscenes are absolutely disgusting with their length

teal isle
#

i have accidentally started that boss fight not knowing it'll hurl you in there if you jump down

slate arrow
#

and if they're using expansion jobs those do a busted amount of damage at low levels

teal isle
#

noooo ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

the ARR cutscenes are long as hell and v frustrating in dungeon but it's always like

#

courtesy for the newbies pls

rich orbit
#

after my triple triad tournament 20 battles are over... where do i get the reward cards?

lean lark
#

hey i'm new here i was stuck on something for few days whatever i go i can't find Command Missions to run my squadrons dungeon

i'm level is 70 and my squad leveled to 22 but i can't find the option Command Missions when i go to the barracks googled a lot T_T

raven sage
#

You have to level them up and do the first flagged mission before you can take them on command missions

lean lark
#

@raven sage what do you mean by first flagged mission i did finish the first mission but still refreshing

thank you for your kind answer

slate arrow
#

the tutorial mission or the flagged mission

lean lark
#

@slate arrow where do i get the tutorial / flagged mission ?

slate arrow
#

the tutorial mission is the hour long mission you send them on when you first unlock squadrons

#

the flagged mission is a special 18 hour long mission which requires all 3 stats to be maxed

lean lark
clever cave
#

looks like you failed it

raven sage
#

Yes you have to succeed at the mission

slate arrow
#

finishing does not equal success

#

Raise your squad's stats or abuse training to get them past the stat gates needed

lean lark
#

thanks everyone you are all amazing

#

i will work hard on that ๐Ÿ™‚

silk yew
#

i feel so dumb.. how do i put wallpaper on my partitions..?

slate arrow
#

right click them when you're not in the housing menu I think

#

yes

tulip plover
#

So i have defiance and provoke one boosts enmity and one puts you at the top of the enmity list whats the difference

teal isle
#

Happy and starting fresh on a new character after finally getting together enough $$$ for a consistent sub and I've wrapped up ARR and am running around picking up some of the the fun bonus stuff I missed the first time I played. My first instinct now is to jump into the patch content to start wading through the slog towards HW, but I've seen some folks saying it's worth it to just mess around in base game until the next patch since all the filler is going to be slimmed down. What are y'all's opinions?

silver ruin
#

next patch wont be out for atleast a month

#

so

#

its up to you how much you wanna play

tulip plover
#

@teal isle bought the complete for 38 bucks

#

On ps4

#

I honestly can blow a little

teal isle
#

Tragically I'm on that controller plugged into PC life ๐Ÿ˜”

tulip plover
#

๐Ÿ˜ฉ

teal isle
#

@ancient rain i actually feel that a bit, as much as people rag on it it is still content and i kinda don't wanna miss it

#

i have HW/SB/SHB if that's the question! so technically i have still been levelling past 50

tulip plover
#

Im just going through the main story (the pain)

#

Im like 15 tho

#

:{

teal isle
#

many blessings upon your grind ๐Ÿ™

tulip plover
#

Thx its pretty chill tho

#

Hopefully i can find others to plau with

teal isle
#

if the patch really isn't coming for that long though, i think i'll just go for it and to hell with it

#

content is content and i'm not gonna stop enjoying the game

#

many thanks for input ๐Ÿ‘

hoary pulsar
#

Hey probably an incredibly common question but I spent two hours googling and didn't really get any clear answer.

Is anyone able to recommend a server on the Chaos DataCenter?

silver ruin
#

yea patch is delayed cause of corona

teal isle
#

gtk!

slate arrow
#

@hoary pulsar any of them with a star next to them

teal isle
#

yep, i had it happen to me as well. just hang for a bit and jump back in when it respawns.

raven sage
#

@tulip plover Defiance is your tank stance and should always be on when you're tanking so you establish and maintain enmity. Provoke is for when you don't have initial enmity on your target and you need to quickly take it from whoever has it

tulip plover
#

Ah ok

#

That clarifies things

How to get the fat chocobo head?

little swift
#

@glacial holly its from the achievement vendor

glacial holly

Ty

tulip plover
#

Is there a physical card i can buy to extend my membership

lavish vortex
#

If I enter a daily roulette that awards tomestones of allegory with a class that is not at lvl 80... will I still get the allegory tomestones?

little swift
#

If I enter a daily roulette that awards tomestones of allegory with a class that is not at lvl 80... will I still get the allegory tomestones?
@lavish vortex no, you can only earn allegory with a lvl80 job

#

Is there a physical card i can buy to extend my membership
@tulip plover you can buy timecards, but i'm not sure that they always carry physical copies

lavish vortex
#

Thanks

teal isle
#

here's a silly question that's probably something obvious i've overlooked

#

i see people have lil 'statuses' on their character profiles that you can scroll over and see, those tiny speech bubbles, but i have absolutely no idea how to do one myself

#

i'm probably not even calling it the right thing, bc googling ffxiv statuses gets you a lot of info but not what i'm looking for xD

raw solstice
#

Oh, on my way to bed but real quick before that. That's your search info. Right click your name in the party window and select "edit search info" or whatever

torn bane
#

you get both don't you?

fading drift
#

There are two separate job quests

teal isle
#

@raw solstice thank you so much! that's been killing me for ages

fading drift
#

One for each

torn bane
#

yes

ember goblet
#

is gnb the squishiest tank in comparison to the others?

#

in terms of overall mitigation kit?

oblique yew
#

Can I take on other quests during duty finder?

leaden ginkgo
#

What do you mean @oblique yew .
Like while in the que? Of course

oblique yew
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Just can't go into dungeons and suxh

oblique yew
#

Cool

warped nest
#

is gnb the squishiest tank in comparison to the others?
@ember goblet not really

#

Gunbreaker's combo has built in heal and shield

little swift
#

i can see why you would feel that way though

warped nest
#

At first glance, Gunbreaker might seems to have less

little swift
#

you lose the heal/shield on aoe

warped nest
#

Because PLD has Clemency, DRK has TBN

#

But Gunbreaker can do just as fine of a job at tanking as other tanks

ember goblet
#

yeah its fine as other tanks but

#

in terms of comparison to others

#

like ranking them in terms of overall mitigation/survivability?

warped nest
#

I totally forgot that WAR has a direct self heal

#

I don't even remember the skill name

#

Ummm...

stable hinge
#

Is there a way to prevent fantasia addiction?

oak ice
#

!action equilibrium

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Equilibrium** : lvl 58 WAR (60.0 second cooldown)

Restores own HP.
Cure Potency: 1,200

fresh lodge
#

Simple answer is yes its the squishiest

#

But it still has enough tools to handle any situation

oak ice
#

Thrill of Battle is also basically a self heal

little swift
#

abyssal drain is also a lifesteal ability for drk as well

leaden ginkgo
#

For BLM why is the AOE rotation under 50 to spam freeze instead of spamming fire 2 which does more damage? Is it not worth it with the # of fire 2 casts needed to get level 3 astral fire?

warped nest
#

Yup

#

Exactly

oak ice
#

F2 costs a ton of mana

little swift
#

short answer: it costs a lot of mana

#

freeze goes off more quickly too

#

and you can get off more of them than you can f2s

fresh lodge
#

Its cast time is longer than the GCD as well

warped nest
#

I think PLD is the only tank without a lifesteal effect in their combo

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah I guess cast time is a big deal. Makes sense. I was just confused since i figured you just use freeze when your mana was low, thanks. Cast time will def make a big difference

warped nest
#

You can stick to F2 if you want to

fresh lodge
#

The lifesteals don't make that much of a difference since damage in ffxiv is burst

ember goblet
#

you can sneak in a swiftcast flare i guess when finishing a pull

warped nest
#

If you don't want to remember what's the levels for what

jade quartz
#

!faq blmleveling

zinc orbitBOT
#
THM/BLM leveling rotations
oblique yew
#

Other than daily roulette and the Praetorium, what quests gives me poetics?

I'm looking for the +side quests but none of them are rewarding poetics

warped nest
#

Dungeons

oblique yew
#

Ahh

#

My

warped nest
#

Lvl 50 dungeons

oblique yew
#

Net

spare plinth
#

without the expansion, what's considered the easiest class?

fresh lodge
#

Not just level 50 dungeons

#

Any 50/60/70 DF instance gives poetics

tame bane
#

Hey what is the best gathering gear for heavensward. Lvl 50?

warped nest
#

Tank, White Mage... Maybe Bard/Dragoon

fresh lodge
#

Just get to 51 and pick up that set

spare plinth
#

is this for easiest class without expansion?

warped nest
#

Yes, easiest jobs in ARR

#

Personal opinion btw

fresh lodge
#

Tbf all classes are really simple at level 50

#

So you could really do anything

spare plinth
#

is it still recommended to focus on one class?

warped nest
#

Nah

spare plinth
#

i'm assuming people in ffxiv can adapt to any classes when needed

warped nest
#

I don't think anyone have ever recommended that

#

Some players can

#

Some players don't play all of it

spare plinth
#

so it's player preference

fresh lodge
#

You should focus on getting good with a single class before branching out

#

But since you're capped at 50 that doesn't really matter

warped nest
#

But you don't need to commit to your starter class

#

If you want to try others, just try

spare plinth
#

i'm curious in case i buy the game for 30 days

#

yea...i'm on free trial

warped nest
#

I can say that Ninja is probably the flashiest at lvl 50

#

Among all the ARR jobs

#

If that piece of information is any use to you

acoustic plume
#

is it possible to unlink a Steam account from an FFXIV account ?

fresh lodge
#

No

#

Are you sure it isn't the ambient chatter when enough players are in the same area?

oak ice
#

Oh, then it's the whistle sound the mount summoning makes, maybe

sick zenith
#

Maybe the other player mount whistle sound effect is corrupted or something

leaden ginkgo
#

Will gathering nodes not appear if you are below their level?

magic light
#

can you get back the road to lvl 30 ring?

#

from HoN?

thorn shoal
#

i have a truly dumb question, because i encountered a tank in doma castle who didnt know what stack-up or tower markers were

#

whats the earliest mandatory point you see those

obsidian wren
#

I believe so grain gotta do the final mission again

#

Stack marker is in a hw dungeon

warped nest
#

Tower is almost definitely, Doman castle

obsidian wren
#

The ||ixal|| one

warped nest
#

I know Sephiroth has Tower, but that's optional trial

thorn shoal
#

ok i felt like i was going crazy with the stack marker

vagrant scaffold
#

How do I get materia out of items?

warped nest
#

Right click, retrieve materia

vagrant scaffold
#

I mean spiritbond things

warped nest
#

Extract Materia

fluid tinsel
#

is things like nidhogg scale at a 100% drop rate on the dungeon?

thorn shoal
#

no

#

stuff like that that's used for furnishing or other crafted stuff is usually a random chance

little swift
oblique yew
#

Do people rarely do primal trials?

little swift
#

they do do them

#

hard modes are usually part of Trial roulette

deft saffron
#

no its not this 1

little swift
#

while Extremees tend to be done via party finder

deft saffron
#

this is the sad 1

#

im looking for the happy version

oblique yew
#

It's been 45mins and I've not found a part yet

little swift
#

yes i know what oyu mean

deft saffron
#

oh ok

little swift
#

are you queuing for an EX

deft saffron
#

sry i misread

little swift
#

i don't think there's a youtube link of that version

deft saffron
#

maybe i shld just tweet soken

oblique yew
#

What's EX?

deft saffron
#

extremeeeee

little swift
#

extreme

oblique yew
#

Is that after hard? I'm doing lvl 50 trials

little swift
#

yes what specifically are you queuing for

oblique yew
#

Bowl of embers one

little swift
#

which one, hard mode?

deft saffron
#

the exact name?

oblique yew
#

Yes

#

Hard

little swift
#

hard mode is in trial roulette

deft saffron
#

hmmm

#

shldnt take that long

#

i queue into bowl of embers hard in trials all the time

#

to the point i wish it wasnt bowl of embers

oblique yew
#

Sad

little swift
#

are you a dps?

oblique yew
#

Yes

little swift
#

what time is it in your DC region

oblique yew
#

Samurai

little swift
#

it could be middle of the day or early morning

#

where there are less people around

oblique yew
#

Idk. I'm from India and am playing on Cerberus (EU)

#

It's 1 pm for me

fresh lodge
#

Its the early morning in Europe

oblique yew
#

Initially it said AVG wait time to be 6min, now it says more than 30min

#

Welp. Just found it.

little swift
#

also 15-30 minute queues as a dps are pretty normal

warped nest
#

Average wait time is average of the people who were queueing recently

tulip plover
#

Is there a stat point system?

warped nest
#

So your actual wait time can be lower or higher

#

No

tulip plover
#

Ok

warped nest
#

You don't assign stat point

#

Everything comes from your gear

#

And you can add stat to the gear

#

Your character don't have any assignable stats

tulip plover
#

When does making gear become important

warped nest
#

For combat jobs, only at lvl 80 and only if you are doing endgame contentn on week 1

fluid tinsel
#

what are unspoiled nodes for gatherers I undersatnd they are like rare and they spawn at a certain time but does that mean only one person can get the node or how does it work exactly

warped nest
#

For Crafter/Gatherer, you can/should craft your own stuff at lvl 40+ onwards, unless you power level them hard with Ishgard Restoration

#

It just spawn at a certain time

tulip plover
#

So much stuff at least they slowlynexplain it all

warped nest
#

It doesn't have limitation on how many players can gather from it

fluid tinsel
#

ty!

tulip plover
#

A lot of mmorpg just habe tutorials fucking all at once

warped nest
#

The whole game is just a long tutorial :D

tulip plover
#

Until you reach lvl 80 and get max gear :3 then your life is meaningless

whole wasp
#

at lvl 80 is where the real endgame begins

#

when you get in fashion fantasy xiv

torn bane
#

why does materia VI give a bigger bonus than materia VII?

agile turret
#

how can i unlock the coils of bahamut? I googled it and it said to talk to urianger in the waking sands but he's not there. I did all the prerequisite quests.

#

im using this website:

obsidian patio
#

@torn bane grade 7 can go in overmeld slots past the first one, Grade 6 can only go in the first overmeld

torn bane
#

i have no idea what those words mean

slate arrow
#

overmeld rules

#

so you see the materia slots on gear right?

warped nest
#

Some gears have 2 open slots and 3 hidden slots

slate arrow
#

when you hover over then and see the tooltip

warped nest
#

The hidden slots are what we called the overmeld slots

torn bane
#

oh

warped nest
#

Gears without hidden slots are marked with Advanced Melding Forbidden

slate arrow
#

Aye. Most if not all crafted gear allows you to overmeld

torn bane
#

oh ok

warped nest
#

Pentameld is a piece of gear melded with 5 materia

#

This is a term you will hear about often at endgame combat, crafting, or gathering

slate arrow
#

This isn't super important for Combat gear, since you can get current tier matiera by the bucketloads if you're on daily

warped nest
#

Melding in hidden slots can fail and the materia used will be lost

slate arrow
#

tl;Dr

-all gear has 5 slots, but only crafted gear can go past green slots
-hidden slots are % chance to fail
-older materia has a higher chance of overmeld success
-more important for crafter and gatherer gear where current materia can be stupid expensive

brazen thunder
#

Hi! I'm new in FFXIV, played the free trial and want to buy the game, does it matter if I buy it whether on steam or the Square Enix store?
Like, do i have to start over if bought from steam or something like that?
Am I free to choose?

slate arrow
#

yes

#

steam must buy rest of the expansions on steam

#

while trial from the standalone can be converted to a steam account

brazen thunder
#

Ohhh, that was my biggest concern

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey everyone! I haven't played FF14 since years, but i want to get back into it. Is there any norwegian community/guild? I am learning the language and want to practice while playing.

slate arrow
#

overall though the only real negative on steam is that the game practically never goes on sale

brazen thunder
#

but, in steam only appears Shadowbringers available to buy, does that includes all the previous expansions?

slate arrow
#

yes

gritty oracle
#

Are people expected to bring maps into a map party?

brazen thunder
#

Thanks :D, much aprecciate

slate arrow
#

at least one probably

mental surge
#

hi guys, how proficient is fisher when making gils compared to making neo-gears or using btn/min.
I have level 80 btn and min and thinking about doing fsh solely for gil making

slate arrow
#

@mental surge entirely depends on the marketboard. Aether, you probably could get a decent chunk of money soley selling current tier aethersand since you need quite a bit for neo-ishgard

#

also, selling the current tier crit fish

#

(in the current tier crafted food)

#

Alternatively, you could sell Leve fish

vagrant scaffold
#

What do I do for my second ring with poetics?

slate arrow
#

augment your first ring, buy a regular second ring

mental surge
#

I see but if I where you, and you have all crafters and gatherers and you have free time to grind, which would you go for it priority? like craft>gather>fish

vagrant scaffold
#

THanks

mental surge
#

i don't want to spend a lot of time of something the other class would make better I guess

slate arrow
#

crafting has and always will be the biggest gil unless they change how crafting works

mental surge
#

as I have a very limited number of retaainers as well XD

slate arrow
#

on reddit one person tracked their profits over a patch with two retainers

little swift
#

limited retainers doesn't limit your crafting options

gritty oracle
#

can gazelleskin dungeons be done as 5 if we have a tank and a healer?

little swift
#

you can do 8-man maps with 3 people

slate arrow
#

and even with buying most of the materials they still ran a consistent profit

#

This does depend on your marketboard but at some point you start making profit on volume instead of cost

mental surge
#

I see, I see, that's what I thought, I keep getting more gils selling neo-gears I don't have time gathering mats anymore, I came to seek info about fishing.
thank you for all the information

meager tendon
#

I see pirates slav squatting outside of HW Culinarian questgiver location, can I get that emote? I can't find anything online about it

slate arrow
#

It's the miqote sit emote

#

Can't do it as any other race unfortunately

meager tendon
slate arrow
#

@ancient rain upon completeing an instance a notification will appear, clicking that will allow you to select one person for a comm, but this only works before they leave, and you can't comm people you queued with

meager tendon
slate arrow
#

Don't think players can get that emote, unfortunately

turbid vale
#

hi guys what party commendation do in duty finder what the aim for it

little swift
#

it has achievements related to it the more you get

#

and is one of the requirements for becoming a mentor in game

#

it is basically one of those things you do when you want to commend another player

#

whether that be because they were super nice/performed well/communicated

#

the achievements/cosmetic rewards are just for hitting milestones of commendations on top of that

turbid vale
#

ok thx

oak ice
#

Commending 5 people every week gives a bit of experience if you've unlocked the challenge log

turbid vale
#

nice

sick zenith

I am now no longer interested in getting my anima weapon haha
But WHM since you asked

oak ice
#

@ancient rain leveling roulette as adventurer in need gives a lot

dusky echo
#

the WHM one isn't awful, but it does take a while

#

something like 18k tomestones of poetics + a lot of grinding

oak ice
#

And it's not tied to he roulette bonus so you can just spam it

#

It gives a couple thousand so it shouldn't be that many runs, though it could be level dependent

dusky echo
#

dont fates give them as well

oak ice
#

Yeah, but far fewer

dusky echo
#

truth

slate arrow
#

yes

#

About 5 minutes instead of 10-15 as a DPS (during peak times)

#

during off hours though it's generally always healers who control the queue

leaden ginkgo
#

Laughs in tank

#

Then I'll just play RDM and use Vercure.

sick zenith
#

@ancient rain for the extra seals you need to be the role is says it needs though

#

And generally when you queue as an adventurer in need its instant

dusky echo
#

scholar is pretty goofy

#

early on your fairy does all the work and you just nuke

#

then your fairy is mostly there as a regen/cd battery

#

then suddenly you get all these heal cds and are just a dps

#

tbf they're really 80% dps 20% healing

#

probably more 90/10

#

the difference is that you arent hitting huge numbers, but you're vital to the group

warped nest
#

Just swap to Summoner?

dusky echo
#

gotta do the class quest first, but that too

Btw, Arcanist is unique in that it is the only class that can become two jobs

Even then we don't call them spec

dusky echo

You need to find the Summoner job quest, remember to take off your Scholar stone

You can't initiate the Summoner quest as a Scholar

Has there been word on the chocobo carriage mount that was shown last October.ish?

#

Hello, question about dsynthing. Can you max level in three professions for desynthing or can you only max out in one job for dsynth?

magic light

is undraw useful

#

or trash

oak ice
#

Absolute traesh

silver ruin

trash

#

You can max them all for desynth nos

magic light

take it off my bar?

silver ruin
#

yes

oak ice
#

Just play lord or lady if the card is bad after rerolling

#

Ye, free slot

#

Ye, you can max out all desynths

little swift
#

And I have not personally heard anything about the chocobo carriage

lunar wagon
#

Reason I ask about the dsynth is because I saw a guide on reddit 1 year old and didn't know if dsynth was only allowed for one profession

oak ice
#

It was changed a few months ago in 5.1

#

Along with the crafter rework

@gritty oracle tank probably

little swift
#

Overlevelling doesnt really have a consequence in this game

#

Its fine to

#

Just keep up on job quests

warped nest
#

The only thing worth mentioning is if you do quests with max level job, you don't get to keep those exp, that's all

little swift
#

If you have all the expansions you can keep leveling to 80

#

You just cant complete more job quests past 50 until you reach the relevant expa sions

sick zenith
#

Dont stress about being overleveled

#

Everything syncs you anyways

#

And youre ahead of the curve so you dont have to play catch up later to get to do content your underlevelled for

#

Later on xp goes a lot less far

#

So being several levels ahead now is nothing

little swift
#

Its not like exp is a finite resource too

sick zenith
#

Just get the expac before 50

they're required for sending your retainer out on ventures, which are like missions you can send them on

max cap is 65k

hi guys, i want to powerlvl my bluemage, does the powerlvling-cheese/abuse/trick still work?

turbid vale

u have to of them but if u want more u buy 2 per month

green pagoda

and is it possible without a grp? only me and a lvl 80 friend without forming a groupe?

twilit arch

yes, powerleveling with a friend still works

warped nest

That's exactly how you do it

#

Don't be in a party

but every video i watched was a grp and a outsider

does it work without me (the bluemage) beeing in a group

twilit arch

you don't need a group

you just need to tag the mobs

Ideally your friend need to have skills that can kill quickly

People are attempting to crash and manipulate the market

If they fill the sell histort with the 1g purchase

Just browsing through my BRD skills, do I see correctly that past level 64 Sidewinder can be thrown off of my hotbars?

halcyon knoll
#

oooh

twilit arch
#

no...

halcyon knoll
#

thanks for the explanation

twilit arch
#

sidewinder is the single target version of shadowbite

#

there's is absolutely no reason why you would not use it

jolly sorrel
#

It seems to only work on Venomous Bite or Wind Bite, does it changes its own description when I reach level 64?

twilit arch
#

yes

jolly sorrel
#

Shadowbite says it works on the lv64 skills instead

#

Aha, alright. I see, thanks

twilit arch
#

because caustic/stormbite are just upgraded venomous/wind bite

jolly sorrel
#

Yeah, hence my confusion. But if the description changes it all makes sense

green pagoda
#

i want a skillbar thats useable across all characters, i imagined it beeing "crossbar", but i cant seem to put any actions in there

#

can any1 point me in the right direction?

jolly sorrel
#

A 'crossbar' is the name of the skillbar for controllers. You're looking for a 'shared bar'

twilit arch
#

crossbar is the controller hotbar

#

make one of your hotbars "shared" if you want it to be the same across all jobs

jolly sorrel

"Character Config" => "Hotbars" => "sharing" tab

how do i set a bar to shared? when i go into the setting i can change the form or transparency but not shared

i should be able to figure it out from here

BLM's levelling process is particularly unintuitive because of how often new skills or traits completely change your rotation

but at max level it's very smooth and comfy

Just sucks being level-synced down again...

leaden ginkgo

did the crafting channel disappear or am i blind

peak oyster
#

I've been trying to join up via duty finder for The Striking Tree Extreme for several days, and it never pops

#

same for Binding Coil 3

twilit arch
#

you need the dol/doh role to see it @leaden ginkgo

leaden ginkgo
#

oh thx

twilit arch
#

NA/EU do not usually do extremes, binding coil, or savage via duty finder

#

especially not older ones like striking tree

#

better to make a party finder to go thru those, or wait until you're higher lvl and just unsync/solo it yourself

slate arrow
#

And most mentors aren't very happy to get extreme trials in roulette in fairness

#

they're tough when done on level

peak oyster
#

I guess I'm fortunate to have been able to run ifrit/garuda/titan extremes this way then

leaden ginkgo
#

@obsidian patio for the two years i have played i never thought to customize the hot bar so how do you have the bar under and the two extra layers ?

obsidian patio
#

Those are normal keyboard hotbars

#

You can activate them in character config > hotbars or Hud Layout

#

As for the "duplicate" set of the crossbar, that's WXHB and is accessed by double-tapping R2 or L2. Basically easier way to press more buttons

#

I generally only put lesser-used skills on WXHB since I usually found myself clipping my GCD if I don't do it super fast.

slate arrow
#

Most jobs require 2 crossbars at level 80 since there's always a few skills which just never go used

obsidian patio
#

only jobs i struggle fitting all my main skills in one crossbar+ one Hold is mainly AST/GNB/SCH

#

role actions for the most part get shunted to WXHB depending on the exact ones, along with niche skills or skills you use only once like Monk Stances, AST Sects, and SMN/SCH Summon actions

leaden ginkgo
#

@obsidian patio ok i figured out the settings but how do you use spells on the bottom hot bar

#

there are numbers ?

obsidian patio
#

Those are there purely to see their cooldown timer

#

not for actual use.

#

Helpful to keep track of your cooldowns like tank mitigation or damage buffs

leaden ginkgo
#

i see you only have 7 but i have like 10

#

how can i take some off

obsidian patio
#

You can make unfilled slots invisible in hotbar settings.

#

Also for the bigger hotbar that intersects the crossbar, I generally put one skill on one side or each side that have important buffs or cooldowns that I use often, like Sharpcast.

leaden ginkgo
#

iโ€™m sorry but the only thing thatโ€™s confusing me getting skills off the bottom hotbar

obsidian patio
#

Activate virtual mouse by pressing L1+R3, and then you can move the right stick to move the mouse and use L2/R2 to left/right-click and drag actions on and off of it

pallid eagle
#

So between rdm and dnc would dnc have more easier time than RDM ?

obsidian patio
#

In terms of general gameplay Dancer would probably have it a bit easier if you can stay on top of the layers of procs that their skills have.

#

though things can get hectic during their technical step burst windows where they generate a lot of gauge for one of their actions

#

Red Mage is more consistent proc RNG with the skill Accelerate giving 3 100% chance procs every minute

pallid eagle
#

true but dnc has alot of free movement yet near free movement for rdm

#

true ?

obsidian patio
#

kinda

#

Red Mage looks like they have a lot of free movement with Dualcasting, but it's somewhat restrictive because you're relying on being able to cast your spell to set up dual-casting

#

in terms of movement options Outside of dualcast RDM only has Swiftcast, which is usually used as a damage gain due to skipping a Jolt, and Reprise, which cuts into your manas which can your melee combo if used too much.

pallid eagle
#

Ahh

obsidian patio
#

so RDM has good movement if it's a bunch of smaller movement, but not if it's one long period of constant moving

pallid eagle
#

Well have 76 dancer so could simply get to 80 and main him instead of RDM

young fjord
next wind
#

guys, I have a ton of spare gear from levelling alts and want to desynch it, is it viable to any crafting class to 30 and I can do it on all level items or I would need to level more for say 70+ items?

obsidian patio
#

level 30 is enough to use desynth on everything, regardless of the level of the items

next wind
#

and success rate is gonna be good? not like bad %?

obsidian patio
#

always 100%

next wind
#

in that case which one is the easiest to level to 30? xD

#

thanks

obsidian patio
#

do note that you need the relevant crafting classes leveled up to desynth their stuff

#

so you need a level 30 GSM to desynth items that GSM makes

next wind
#

oh okay, so if I have a large pool of items I would probably need all crafting classes?

#

that sounds like too much work xD Will just get gc and ventures I guess

obsidian patio
#

getting to level 30 is super quick for the most part

#

1-15 and maybe a bit more can be done entirely with materials bought at their crafting guilds

warped nest
#

Lvl 1-15 can be done inside the guild

#

Yup

obsidian patio
#

and leves give boatloads of experience and can be done with vendor-bought items

next wind
#

oh really, so it would not take me days to finish that?

obsidian patio
#

you can do it in a day or so if you devote yourself to it.

next wind
#

so far I only have battle jobs levelling experience so no idea how crafting works

slate arrow
#

@young fjord do you have any crafter at 80

young fjord
#

Yeah, I just put in the crit materia no problem

obsidian patio
slate arrow
#

did you talk to a materia melder for that

young fjord
#

Naa I did it myself

slate arrow
#

๐Ÿค”

#

Try relogging then

obsidian patio
#

@next wind you can take a look in #doh-dol-lounge for pins relating to early leveling macros for crafting

#

Unlike combat classes, crafters can take 100% advantage of macros in making their lives easier

next wind
#

okay thanks!

obsidian patio
#

but the general gist of crafting items is you try to maximize your quality bar (which decides %chance of the result becoming High-Quality, along with boosting experience gain) while making sure to fill up the Progress bar to finish the craft

slate arrow
#

It's possible to even semi-idle craft if you have a controller

agile laurel
#

Is there any way to influence which target an AoE spell affects first?

slate arrow
#

@agile laurel depends on the spell

#

attacks like flare are centered on the target you're currently targeting

obsidian patio
#

If it's based on you like DNC's dances, then it's the target closest to you.

young fjord
#

Relogged, was now able to put it in

agile laurel
#

Cause it's a little thing in concept but I've seen in events where my Earthly Star hits 10 enemies and the tank, the tank is the last thing to get healed and usually means it's about 2 seconds from activation to heal

#

and that's meant a death a couple of times

#

cause the effects don't all go off at once, they go off in sequence

slate arrow
#

that's just server ticks being shite

#

Can't do much about it

obsidian patio
#

I never quite figured out Earthly Star's healing priority, might just be server ticks like Ind says

agile laurel
#

F. guess i just shouldn't rely on it when there's 12 adds

obsidian patio
#

Maybe standing close to them might make it work faster on them???

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

agile laurel
#

on the topic of earthly star, is there any way to make a macro that only fires on its deployment, but not its activation?

#

(cause they're the same ability)

obsidian patio
#

nope

#

I tried that

slate arrow
#

macros are dumb

agile laurel
#

ah well

leaden ginkgo
#

ok i got the hotbar stuff finished and have been in summer ford farms for about 20 minutes ... could you sum up the importance of the purple thing under the elemental gauge and also there are combos that put fire and ice ticks one the gauge at the same time

slate arrow
#

I mean that quite literally, they're quite literally basic programming instructions

leaden ginkgo
#

i think i have an idea but still donโ€™t really get it

agile laurel
#

is this for black mage?

slate arrow
#

Purple gauge is for foul and Xenoglossy

leaden ginkgo
#

yes

slate arrow
#

Basically a free filler spell and/or movement resource

#

!action foul

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Foul** : lvl 70 BLM (1 None) (2.5 second cooldown)

Deals unaspected damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 650 for the first enemy, and 25% less for all remaining enemies.
Polyglot Cost: 1

agile laurel
#

yeah purple gauge is how long til your next polyglot gain, assuming you've kept Enochian up

slate arrow
#

!action Xenoglossy

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Xenoglossy** : lvl 80 BLM (1 None) (2.5 second cooldown)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 750.
Polyglot Cost: 1

obsidian patio
#

Xenoglossy is instant cast

slate arrow
#

You get one polyglot every 30 seconds of enochian

agile laurel
#

it only ticks along when Enochian's active (which it always should be, unless you've had some catastrophic failure)

slate arrow
#

!action umbral soul

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Umbral Soul** : lvl 76 BLM (2.5 second cooldown)

Grants Umbral Ice and 1 Umbral Heart.
Umbral Heart Bonus: Nullifies Astral Fire's MP cost increase for Fire spells and reduces MP cost for Flare by one-third
Can only be executed while under the effects of both Enochian and Umbral Ice.

leaden ginkgo
#

i see ... i keep enochian up by using the element i started with ?

agile laurel
#

keep enochian active in ice phase with blizzard III, but you shouldn't really need to

leaden ginkgo
#

and an umbral heart makes fire cost less ?

slate arrow
#

you keep up enochian with umbral soul or transpose before 76

agile laurel
#

keep enochian active in fire phase with Fire I

#

in downtime, use umbral soul or transpose to not drop enochian

slate arrow
#

!faq blmleveling

zinc orbitBOT
#
THM/BLM leveling rotations
slate arrow
#

if you're lost, just follow this guide for your relevant level bracket

agile laurel
#

so basically your fire spamming phase needs to look like fire IV until you're in danger of losing enochian, fire I to refresh the timer, fire IV til drained

leaden ginkgo
#

iโ€™m understanding

slate arrow
#

If your latency or server ticks are shite you should fire1 generally when you have 5 seconds left on the timer

agile laurel
#

i can't speak too much on the gauge cause I set that to simple appearance instantly

leaden ginkgo
#

ok and swift cast is a good way to open ?

slate arrow
#

yep

agile laurel
#

I think my rule of thumb was 3 Fire IVs if you don't have triplecast or leylines, 4 fire IVs if you do

leaden ginkgo
#

triple*

agile laurel
#

before your fire I

slate arrow
#

Swift and triple are purely DPS tools on BLM

#

Since you don't have raise

obsidian patio
#

You generally want to save Triplecast for your Fire 4's and Despairs

leaden ginkgo
#

lol wow i canโ€™t wait to master this there are a lot of rules

agile laurel
#

yeah, I tend to use swift to either cram in another fire, save my enochian if I've made a rotation error, or flare

slate arrow
#

BLM optimization goes to an absurd degree

#

but when it goes right it goes oh so right

agile laurel
#

black mage will have a rotation you can learn, then just do

#

so once you know it, you know it and it's simple

obsidian patio
#

!action aetherial manipulation

Unable to cast if bound.

#

haha blm go swoosh

I use swift on fire 1 WAY too often to save enochian x.x

leaden ginkgo
#

is that for when i canโ€™t out run a heavy attack

obsidian patio
#

Good usage of Ley Lines and Aetherial Manipulation gives you very fast movement

slate arrow
#

it's the best movement ability in the game*

agile laurel
#

i can count on the fingers of one foot the amount of times I've actually used aetherial manipulation successfully to save myself

slate arrow
#

*provided your party is in the right position

leaden ginkgo
#

oh yeah and should i pop leylines immediately or after i get into fire ?

slate arrow
#

leylines is a DPS gain for 30 seconds

#

BLM dps is super consistent

ember briar

I use aetherial manip all the time, it's mega useful

once you get into fire, for the opener

!faq blmguide

zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio

if you want to see the different openers

agile laurel
#

generally try to keep cooldowns of the same CD time synced up with each other

#

from memory, isn't it 2 triplecasts for every leyline usage?

#

or are they the same CD?

slate arrow
#

!action leylines

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Ley Lines** : lvl 52 BLM (90.0 second cooldown)

Connects naturally occurring ley lines to create a circle of power which, while standing within it, reduces spell cast time and recast time, and auto-attack delay by 15%.
Duration: 30s

Mounts FAQ
Info

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

black mage feels kinda janky until you hit 70, like it doesn't settle. But the 70/80 rotation is very tightly designed

black mage's amusingly like samurai also in the respect you can just ad lib and freestyle the whole rotation, but you probably would benefit from knowing a rotation

The only two things you can do with 'used' gear, is to Turn in on GC, or Desynthesis, right?

like i canโ€™t believe triple cast is such a fast recast

slate arrow
#

yes, but no

#

you augument one ring and then buy another ring

obsidian patio
#

since they'll be considered different items it works

leaden ginkgo
#

ok one last question

frigid sigil
#

how do I augment

obsidian patio
#

At Drake in North Shroud

slate arrow
#

you need one bottle of carboncoat

frigid sigil
#

kk

slate arrow
#

and then what wynne said

leaden ginkgo
#

well two* 1.) if you make it to foul does that basically mean your doing alright ? and 2.) letโ€™s say i barely made it to foul and have like 2 seconds left, would transpose be smart ?

slate arrow
#

yes

#

you want to keep enochian up unless you can afford to drop it

obsidian patio
#

Don't worry about forcefully fitting Foul/Xeno in your rotation

#

just make sure to not overcap on your Polyglot (the pink jewel)

leaden ginkgo
#

i only hit foul when i hear the noise

slate arrow
#

if you have to, use it when you're in ice

#

you generally have more time to do other actions while in ice compared to fire

leaden ginkgo
#

over cap ? you can get more than one purple thing ?

obsidian patio
#

yes and no

slate arrow
#

at 80 you can get/store two polyglot

leaden ginkgo
#

ok

obsidian patio
#

when the bar fills up and you're already at the max crystals you lose out on a cast of Foul/Xeno

leaden ginkgo
#

ok that makes sense so even if i switch to ice to keep it going ( enochian ) i can still use foul/zeno

#

xeno *

obsidian patio
#

Yep

#

As long as you have fire or ice up you keep your timer and stack

leaden ginkgo
#

ok this has been super helpful now to die in a million savage runs before i get good

obsidian patio
#

You only lose out on the timer if you drop your fire/ice completely

leaden ginkgo
#

ok perfect

obsidian patio
#

stacks you charged up stay until you use them or die

leaden ginkgo
#

Think
So i just read from something, that Ranking up your FC works by Expert Delivery?

obsidian patio
#

yep

slate arrow
#

it's the most efficient/time way yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Even if i am from a different GC, that the FC is on?

slate arrow
#

yes

frigid sigil
#

how important is it to get my gear to ilevel 130? can I just skip that step and just let heavensward gear me up?

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks all

obsidian patio
#

the braindead method that people used to do is crafting Militia Bracelets and turning those in for seals

#

since they only require one crafting material

#

@frigid sigil I'd say weapon at a minimum is recommended due to it being the biggest gain in damage which makes things go by faster.

frigid sigil
#

I see thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

Well i think i now know what to do with gear

rich bay
#

Those bracelets require 2 materials Wynne.

Basilsk Whetstone and a Rose Gold Nugget.

obsidian patio
#

I swear there was something people made that only needed one item

#

Ah, it was the Militia Wristlets, not the bracelet

rich bay
#

(It does require 2 materials total, because the material needed itself needs 2. Gold ore and Copper ore. Gold ore is unspoiled material ofc.)

oblique yew
#

Can only healers revive?

slate arrow
#

no

#

Summoner and Red Mage can rez as well

oblique yew
#

Okay

rich bay
#

And there are items that also can revive, but only put of battle.

(And a action Raise L for Eureka Pyros/Hydatos.)

#

what do you think the best mount for a BLM is

rich bay

Black mounts? ๐Ÿ˜

obsidian patio
#

!mount Witch's Broom

zinc orbitBOT
#
Witch's Broom (1 Seats)

Once an ordinary household cleaning tool, relegated to such menial tasks as sweeping and...sweeping, this broom's life changed upon being enchanted by the ogre pumpkinhead. Now the skies are its dusty floors.

Obtained From

Mog Station (Premium)
Sweeping The Meadows (Event)

obsidian patio
#

pretty nice if you want a classic witch aesthetic, though it's only on the mogstation

#

Ifrit EX/Ramuh EX mounts can also be fitting for the Fire/Thunder look

#

Or the Bomb Palanquin from Kobold Beast Tribe/Moogle Tomestone event if you want a swinging chair lifted by the voidsent bomb enemies

rich bay
#

Good one Wynne.

oblique yew
#

Do tanks drag all the enemies to one point?

pine bluff
#

that is one of the things a tank can do

#

which sets up the team to be able to spam aoe

jade quartz
#

That's usually the idea, yes

#

For certain fights two tanks may have to pull enemies apart

oblique yew
#

But I had this tank that was speed running, and dragged all the enemies with him

#

With not the intention to fight, but to get to the next cutscene

pine bluff
#

yup

#

because it's much faster that way

#

but they do this because they know they can

#

i.e. they know they can survive the onslaught of attacks

obsidian patio
#

sounds like Castrum Meridianum or Praetorium, which is pretty much the only time that is good to do.

pine bluff
#

for your average dungeon run, you shouldn't really do that for more than a few mobs at a time

obsidian patio
#

Tanks do massive pulls there because the fight is tuned for very low level gear (i45 IIRC) which is vastly beaten by the endgame level 50 stuff

oblique yew
#

I guess I've been playing tank all wrong

#

Feels bad man

leaden ginkgo
#

lol i queued for the last dungeon in SB so i could practice a bit more and this might be the longest i have ever been waiting ๐Ÿ˜‚

spiral inlet
#

how long does a person have to be away before he absolves FC leadership

obsidian patio
#

IIRC 30 days

#

might be 45

safe niche
pine bluff
#

they are not mandatory

leaden ginkgo
#

plus sign ones just unlock the area for those

pine bluff
#

they are daily repeatable quests you can do to get exp

#

theyre called levequests

obsidian patio
#

Levequests are basically repeatable miniquests

#

they're much better experience for crafting and gathering classes, though.

safe niche
#

ohh ok, so do i stick to main ones atm ?

pine bluff
#

it's an 'ok' way to level. not the best, but not bad

obsidian patio
#

the experience for combat classes isn't that great

pine bluff
#

yes, stick to main scenario quests in general, they're way more fun, and reward more exp

safe niche
#

alright, thanks man

oblique yew
#

Do higher level items get damaged easily?

obsidian patio
#

nope

#

Does AST healing require a different mindset vs WHM?

#

just did an alliance raid as noct aspect, and I think my poor co-AST hard carried

rugged pond
#

What's a good way of making money that doesn't involve crafting or gathering

twilit arch
#

i mean if you're doing noct sect AST, then you can't play like a whm

#

you need to play more like a scholar

safe niche
#

So, sticking to the main story quests and not doing the quests with the plus sign next to it is not that of a big deal right?

twilit arch
#

since noct IS the shield sect

tardy tendon
#

is it risky to download addons that don't ruin the game like damage meter and life quality ones?

stable herald
#

How about if diurnal?

twilit arch
#

Diurnal is whm basically, but not quite as potent

#

since you don't have for one as many ogcds as they do, nor quite the raw healing power

mossy parrot
#

I mean, thats a tough question to answer, downloading random stuff from sites you don't know always has a certain risk to it

twilit arch
#

so you need to be a bit more mindful of how you're using your ogcds and such

#

earthly star is very potent heal when you let it set up

#

@safe niche its pretty strongly recommend to do bluequest along side your main scenario quests since they unlock additional content. Though you can skip over "So you want to be X" or "levemets of X" since the first just unlocks other classes, and the second isn't really that important for combat classes

proud willow
#

@safe niche there are some bluequest that are very important, mainly the chocobo quest and your class/job quests

twilit arch
#

once you get to expansion content, bluequest will also have aether currents which are required to collect to fly in that zone

#

so easier to do it while you're in the area already than to come back later to do them

oblique yew
#

Dumb question. But what do I do with Gil?

#

I'm using poetics to buy gear

twilit arch
#

buy whatever you want, there's nothing you "have" to use gil on, expect mundane things like repairing if you've not got crafters leveled

gritty oracle
#

what's the bait for southern strait of merithor?

twilit arch
#

krill for procing spectrals, plump worm for intuition buff

#

krill for day, ragworm for sunset, and plump worm for night when spectral is up

gritty oracle
#

thanks

ah

hazy flint
#

So I have a supply mission for carpenter which is to supply a birch rod and I donโ€™t have that under my list of crafting log. Am I being blind?

oblique yew
#

For samurai, there's a gap in the enemy circle

twilit arch
#

what level is your carpenter @hazy flint

hazy flint
#

67

oblique yew
#

Should I attack there

pine bluff
#

@oblique yew that gap indicates 'rear'

hazy flint
#

I see birch lumber and some birch stuff but not that

pine bluff
#

some skills require you to be at 'flank'

oblique yew

Ohh

Thanks

twilit arch

birch rod is from the master carpenter III book

#

its bought with yellow scrips

Hi! I just finished the main shadowbringers story (until โ€œshadowbringersโ€ quest). What side quests should I do before I begin 5.1 MSQ to unlock all the post game dungeons/ duties?

twilit arch
#

By the Time You Hear This in The Crystarium at (9, 11) and Akadaemia Anyder in Eulmore - The Buttress (13, 12)

#

those are the two lvl 80 dungeons that are side quests

lavish vortex
#

You are awesome! Thanks!!

twilit arch
#

In the Middle of Nowhere in The Crystarium (10, 12) starts the Eden quest line (8 man raid series)

faint flare
#

And Word About Korma in Torma starts the nier line

twilit arch
#

Word about Korma Kholusia (13, 9) starts the Nier questline (24man raid series)

faint flare
#

Going to definitely need to start getting higher ilvl to que for content from now on

oblique yew
#

When do I unlock Rowena's token exchange?

lavish vortex
#

Iโ€™m getting item lvl460 with tomestones of phantasmagoria until I get the crystarium gear

#

Crystarium gear should be tha Max tier gear right?

pine bluff
#

hey guys how do I start the I believe I can fly quest?

#

I finished the Divine Intervention msq

#

but im looking at Arnoulain the quest giver but he has no quests to give

#

ohh I also need to complete 'where the chocobos roam'?

wintry chasm
#

Yes Arvz

#

Have to do Where the Chocobos Roam

#

Also My Feisty Chocobo if you missed it in Bentbranch Meadows which lets you summon your chocobo to fight

barren flax
#

how much does 2 magic dmg equate to? im not sure if it's worth me getting ilvl490 over 485:

wintry chasm
#

Weapon damage >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else

#

Also main stat >>>>>>> sub stat

rich bay
#

@pine bluff

The max tier gear is from Eden's verse savage (i500).

The new 24-man raid brings the upgrade tokens for the Allegory gear to the mid-tier. (i490 > i500)

barren flax
#

so i should definitely aim for i490?

wintry chasm
#

Technically it depends on what is best in slot for black mage

barren flax
#

im playing pretty casually with friends, so i dont think i'll do savage raids

#

the last "hardest" content i did was titania EX when ShB released

wintry chasm
#

Then get the 490 rod

rich bay
#

The i485 relic with Damage melds is just as good as the tome weapon.

azure kettle
#

Is there a summary all the way up to heavensward including the 100 quest slog between arr and heavensward

wintry chasm
#

Also just checked I'm 90% sure the savage raid weapon is best in slot due to spell speed

rich bay
#

But yes, if you don't do savage grab tome weapon.

barren flax
#

okies thanks for the advice.

wintry chasm
#

patches aren't a slog though

#

That summary was written by Rommy IIRC who is a big lore person

barren flax
#

will the resistance weapon get more upgrades in the future?

twilit arch
#

yes

#

5.35 will have the next part of the weapon quest

azure kettle
#

@wintry chasm ty

rich bay
#

Yup, next upgrade will be i495 i think.
(It will be the best weapon in 5.5x @ i535 most likely, but that does get replaced fast then.)

barren flax
#

is there any point in me doing nier raid since it only augments deepshadow gear into ilv470?

twilit arch
#

the coin that drops from copied factory will most likely be required to buy the items to augment crystarium gear

barren flax
#

oh? i looked at the NPC it shows drops from savage eden

twilit arch
#

so if you're not doing savage, then yeah you're going to need to do it in addition to the puppet's bunker

barren flax
#

what's puppet's bunker sorry?

twilit arch
#

puppet's bunker is the next nier raid

barren flax
#

i assume that's not out yet?

#

5.3?

twilit arch
#

no, it'll be released with 5.3

barren flax
#

thank you ^^

lilac mulch
#

guys i used the msq skip pot and the class job skip pot, do i now just cont the last msq as im 70

barren flax
#

yup, u can do that

pine bluff
#

is there a quick way to get to Ok' Zundu

#

from ishgard

#

the airship seems to only take you to cloudtop

wintry chasm
#

There should be another airship that takes you near Ok'Zundu provided you got far enough in main story

pine bluff
#

hmm ok

leaden ginkgo
#

umbral soul replaces transpose ?

wintry chasm
#

x14.2, y11 apparently Arvz

slate arrow
#

yes, but no

wintry chasm
#

In Ishgard Pillars

pine bluff
#

so is coerthas western highlands the only area I can fly in after getting aether currents

slate arrow
#

Yes it replaces your timer uptime

#

but you still have to use transpose to get to ice

wintry chasm
#

Aether currents is a per area thing

#

If you get all the aether currents in Western Highlands you can fly there

#

Once you get them all for Sea of Clouds you can fly there

#

etc etc

pine bluff
#

yea but what areas can I actually explore and just unlock currents by running around? since some are locked behind quest progression

slate arrow
#

all expansion zones

#

except for the final HW one which is quests only

wintry chasm
#

If I understand your question right there isn't an area where you can just run and find all the currents. There will always be at least one locked behind main story and others locked by side quests

pine bluff
#

ah ok, any idea which ones I can actually do right after unlocking it?

#

not locked by msq later on I meant

hoary storm
#

all of them have 5 which are bluequest and 1 locked behind almost the last msq in the area

wintry chasm
#

Issue is a number of bluequest are locked by MSQ anyway

pine bluff
#

on gamepad you can mark a location on the map

#

is this not possible with a mouse?

slate arrow
#

it's possible

#

It's control right click by default I think

pine bluff
#

ah yep

fending.

you're a tank, you always go for fending.

even at low level okay

vocal shell
#

Can you disable the skill effects of other players?

green pagoda
#

yes

#

its a guide from eureka, but the timestamp he explains and shows how to lower or turn off battleeffects

jade quartz
#

@vocal shell Character Configuration -> General -> Character -> Show Battle Effects -> Set "Party members" and "Other" to limited.

whole wasp
#

/bfx party limted
/bfx party none

vocal shell
#

@jade quartz thank you

whole wasp
#

works too by typing it into the chat

jade quartz
#

Don't recommend setting it to none as you still need to see stuff like healer bubbles

#

Within your party.

whole wasp
#

since its a text command, you can make it a macro to put it onto your hotbar

#

yea, what lyon said

jade quartz
#

Limited turns off all the explosions that will obscure the screen/reduce your framerate.

whole wasp
#

/bfx party all
to turn it back on i think
