#

Well the gear I would be augmenting would be my weapon though

raw solstice
#

generally want to just generally shoot for 260/270 though

obsidian patio
#

not sure if it's changed since that got uploaded

raw solstice
#

230/240 isn't really worthwhile

warped nest
#

200-260 is worth more than 260-270

raw solstice
#

ilya hasn't changed, that vid looks ok

sand flame
#

Ok so for e7

#

So my portal spawns on right

#

I just hit the opposite direction with my camera turned right?

vagrant scaffold
#

Thanks

sand flame
#

If it’s going to the sides

#

Forget the mech name

raw solstice
#

I need a bit more info. Normal or savage, and where about in the fight?

sand flame
#

The line bait

#

For savage

#

Like if I use legacy

raw solstice
#

for betwixt worlds, I guess? The debuff teleport you have is a random direction, for forwards/back/left/right

sand flame
#

I just hit “a” on the keyboard with my camera facing in that direction if it spawns on right

#

It’s after that mech

#

The next portal

tulip plover
#

How do i get rid of this sprout

raw solstice
#

/nastatus off

sand flame
#

A to go left

#

To go into center

raw solstice
#

that's not always the case

#

ok so like

#

whenever you have a teleport

sand flame
#

If it spawns on right

#

With the debuff

raw solstice
#

whether it's betwixt world or during adds phase

#

the teleport debuff will always have arrows pointing in a direction

sand flame
#

Yea it can be any direction

raw solstice
#

so depending on strat, you want to teleport in a specific direction

sand flame
#

I’m just saying for example

raw solstice
#

point the camera so the debuff points where you want to teleport

lavish vortex
#

@obsidian patio thanks a lot!!

raw solstice
#

and then before the mechanic resolves, press W so you face in the same direction as the camera

sand flame
#

Wait I thought you had to w to move it

#

I move the camera

raw solstice
#

move your camera with right click

sand flame
#

It if w it won’t always go into that direction

#

Yes

#

I do that

raw solstice
#

W makes you face forwards with wherever you point your camera

sand flame
#

Yes

raw solstice
#

so you can align your teleport ahead of time with right click -> move camera

#

and then before the mechanic resolves you press W

tulip plover
#

What does it mean to interrupt a targets actions?

sand flame
#

I was doing that though and it worked sometimes

raw solstice
#

so you're facing the same direction as your camera, and say you have left facing teleport, the teleport moves you to your left

#

you can use an interrupt like interject or head graze to stop the cast

sand flame
#

But when it was right

#

If I turned my camera to left

vagrant scaffold
#

No line on a debuff is esunable right?

sand flame
#

It didn’t work if I w

raw solstice
#

only if a debuff has a line over the top of it, can it be esunable

#

so let's say you have teleport right as a debuff, yeah?

#

give me an example, which direction would you want to teleport to resolve the mechanic

sand flame
#

The line bait where all dps meet mid

raw solstice
#

ok

#

so let's say you're on the E side, and you have E teleport

#

face your camera S

#

before mechanic resolves, press W

#

you would be teleported W

#

if you're on the W side, you would face your camera N, and then W would have you teleporting to the E

sand flame
#

With my static im doing east

raw solstice
#

ok, so like

#

let's now say you have S teleport debuff. Face your camera to the E (your debuff points to the W). You press W, your teleport moves you behind you (now to the W)

#

if it's N teleport you face your camera to the W, then press W so you teleport forwards ( to the west) and you're fine

#

just point the arrow of the debuff where you want to with your camera, then point W to align yourself with it, and it will work 100% of the time

tulip plover
#

Does anyone play with controller?

sand flame
#

Hmm ok

shrewd owl
#

Plenty of people play with controller

#

Both keyboard/mouse and controller are proper ways to play the game from what I heard

obsidian patio
#

I do, though if you want crossbars setups for reference I can't get on right now

tulip plover
#

How do you deal with the shit ton of moves tho

obsidian patio
#

Controller gets access to 8 sets of crossbars, each able to hold 16 actions

#

You can also quickly access other sets with shortcuts such as double-tapping R2 or L2, and holding R2 then L2 and Vice Versa.

tulip plover
#

How do yoy set that shortcut up

obsidian patio
#

For pretty much all jobs I can comfortably fit all my actions on a single natural set, one half of a Hold set, and one WXHB set (the double-tap one)

tulip plover
#

I feel like holding l1 takea too much tims

empty moss
#

is there such a thing as lfg for dungeons?

pine bluff
#

press U

remote lintel
#

party finder works for dungeons

tulip plover
#

How do you check pt?

agile turret
#

anyone know the exact droprate number on the nightmare mount or at least have a spreadsheet of data for it?

warped nest
#

Not really, the best we have is a guess

#

The only consolation I have for you is, you can farm these ex very easily even by yourself

vagrant scaffold
#

How?

obsidian patio
#

click the cog at the top of the duty finder menu and enable undersized party

#

that lets you enter the duty without being synced down with whatever your current party is

vagrant scaffold
#

Does it not item sync or something when you do that?

#

Ohhh

obsidian patio
#

which lets you do level 50 content at level 80

agile turret
#

yea ive been at it for about an hour now with 27 kills split between garuda ifrit and titan

#

nvm i literally just got it

#

lol

#

27 kills it is

obsidian patio
#

Nightmare is probably like 1-2% or something low like that, the drop rate for it never got buffed since it came out

pallid eagle
#

3 4 numbers ?

obsidian patio
#

?

tight yarrow
#

Do guildhests also consume leve allowances?

obsidian patio
#

nope

pallid eagle
#

for the jumbo crackpot thingy i need 3 4 numbers (Random)

tight yarrow
#

on that note - should I bother with guildhests?

vagrant scaffold
#

Haha crackpot

obsidian patio
#

ehh, they're okay experience at low levels but quickly become obsolete in experience gain

jade quartz
#

@tight yarrow they're essentially obsolete content.

tight yarrow
#

ah, makes sense

jade quartz
#

They don't teach you anything really relevant, and no one runs them.

obsidian patio
#

For the jumbo cactpot, it reads the results from right to left to determine your winnings, so for the best odds you want all of your digits to be different

tight yarrow
#

but levequests I should do, right? should I try to get and do all of them?

jade quartz
#

Uh

obsidian patio
#

combat leves are meh for experience

jade quartz
#

Battle levequests are irrelevant also

obsidian patio
#

better left for crafters and gatherers

jade quartz
#

Tradecraft/Fieldcraft levequests are good.

pallid eagle
#

So 2x 4 numbers for cactpot

tight yarrow
#

ok, good to know

#

I haven't touched any crafting yet, so

obsidian patio
#

So if the winning number is 1234 and your chosen numbers are 3333, 4444, and 1235, then only the 4444 will get the 1-digit match prize while everything else gets the consolation

warped nest
#

It is from left to right right to left

#

So any XY34 will count as a 2 digit match for 1234

jade quartz
#

right to left you mean

#

That is right to left.

#

Having all digits different doesn't change odds though

obsidian patio
#

I like my placebo effect. ;-;

jade quartz
#

Each ticket you buy has a 1/10,000 chance of winning with all four numbers

obsidian patio
#

yeah, that's why I generally just care about the last two digits 90% of the time

#

much better odds

warped nest
#

Lol, thanks for pointing it out, Lyon

jade quartz
#

1/10 to win with one number, 1/100 for two numbers, 1/1000 for three.

tight yarrow
#

ok, maybe to boil it down, for ARR (I'm like level 21), just focus on MSQ and class quests?

warped nest
#

Yes

#

And this bluequest

jade quartz
#

Doesn't really matter what numbers you put in. Just clicking random three times gives you the same odds as anything else.

tight yarrow
#

ok, thanks!

#

what are those (I get confused with all the icons)

shrewd owl
#

get the challenge log

#

blue quest icons are quests that unlock stuff

#

like dungeons and other features

warped nest
#

msq story
bluequest unlock stuff
sidequest just plain old side quest

tight yarrow
#

thanks!

jade quartz
#

For example, the ability to dye your gear or use the glamour system (equivalent to WoW transmog or other gear appearance changing systems in other games) are both features locked behind bluequest quests.

warped nest
#

Unlocking a new class is parked under bluequest too, so those you can skip if you don't wanna get that class, but you should tend to the rest of them

tight yarrow
#

is there a way to find them generally, or I just need to look out for them on my map

warped nest
#

Look out on map, or follow a guide

tight yarrow
#

hmm ok

jade quartz
warped nest
#

You cannot miss them no matter how high you progress in MSQ

#

Don't worry about that

tight yarrow
#

ok! I'll probably adventure blindly and circle back at some level milestones

jade quartz
#

That's the spirit

remote lintel
#

is the anima weapon really such a soul crushing grind

#

cause it looks like it

obsidian patio
#

more of a giant poetics grind than anything

#

not counting the resistance weapon as it only has one step currently, it's definitely the easiest relic to complete

agile turret
#

i grinded the whole thing using poetics by queueing for 5 story trials but now i realize you can pretty much trivialize the entire crystal sand part with the primal drops

remote lintel
#

don't you have to do like a million HW duties over and over for the density or whatever

obsidian patio
#

you can solo spam level 50 dungeons or spend like an hour or so doing A9S with an unsynced party of level 80's

jade quartz
#

Nah just spam A9S for like two hours

remote lintel
#

never done savage

obsidian patio
#

you won't see any mechanics when undersized

#

assuming a full party

jade quartz
#

It’s face roll

remote lintel
#

I figured

#

the beginning step with getting all the elemental crystals is already boring

warped nest
#

If that is already bad for you, I would advice picking something else to work toward

remote lintel
#

I mean I could do it

#

but I think it would take me hours upon hours just doing this step

mossy tartan
#

What’s the name of the last boss theme of “Baelsar’s wall” I can’t find it anywhere?

obsidian patio
#

Revenge Twofold, IIRC

remote lintel
#

yes

mossy tartan
#

Thank you very much

simple nymph
#

if i want to do a lfg where do i go in the discord for that?

little swift
#

assuming you've chosen the correct datacenter role

simple nymph
#

gotcha thanks!

pliant cosmos
#

will ishguardian restoration end? IE I only have so much time to get the items from it I want

little swift
#

this is the first time we've gotten something like this

#

its possible that it will end

#

but we know 5.3 will bring at least another phase

#

with new crafts/rankings

slate arrow
#

The restoration itself is ongoing iirc

#

while the district will be finished the turn ins will always be there

boreal current
#

Hello there. I just finished installing the game for the first time and was wondering if someone could answer my question. Are there any major differences between the different NA data centers and the worlds in them? Or is it just like population.

cosmic juniper
#

Does the steam version offer a free trial for the game?

remote lintel
#

yes

#

@boreal current the only real difference are the preferred worlds

boreal current
#

Between the different worlds, is there a difference or is that just population? And can the worlds in the same data center play together or no

pine bluff
#

if we die to the potd boss do we have to repeat the entire run

remote lintel
#

all worlds are highly populated

obsidian patio
#

worlds in the same datacenter play with each other

red junco
#

would it be worth it to grind up a skysteel tool if you already have a melded facet tool for a class?

obsidian patio
#

@pine bluff only that floor set, unless you're trying to do the floors that only fixed parties can go to (100+ for POTD, 31+ for HOH)

red junco
#

For example my blacksmith is fully melded but i need a new tool for my weaver

boreal current
#

Ok cool. So it doesn't really matter which one I pick. Thank you.

pine bluff
#

noo

obsidian patio
#

@red junco Dragonsong tools are pretty equal to pentamelded facet tools for the most part

pine bluff
#

so if you fail potd you get no exp? sad

slate arrow
#

yes

obsidian patio
#

so it really depends on how you value time grinding vs money spent pentamelding

red junco
#

alrighty, how hard are more tools to get?

#

I know it's just primary tools from these, yeah?

whole wasp
#

yea skysteel tools are only primary

red junco
#

okay

#

i'll probs just buy the whitescrip secondaries then and save money on melding tools

slate arrow
#

yeah and they're decently pricy but 5.5 will probably have them match or go beyond pentamelded primary if you out the time in

red junco
#

because fuck melding tools i have fully MELDED ARMOR DAMMIT

whole wasp
#

skysteel tools have pretty good stats, the only problem is that it doesnt have any CP

dense pier
#

I'm level 68, is it better exp/hour if I spam the 67 dungeon or the try and first-clear level 60 HW dungeons?

slate arrow
#

what level 50 HW dungeons

#

there's only 51-60 HW dungeons

dense pier
#

Sorry, 60 then

slate arrow
#

it's always better exp to do leveling dungeons

#

endgame dungeons give paltry to insignificant amounts of EXP

dense pier
#

Leveling dungeon roullete even if I already got the daily?

slate arrow
#

no

#

the level 67 dungeon is a leveling dungeon

#

the level 69 dungeon is a leveling dungeon

dense pier
#

Oh

slate arrow
#

the level 70 dungeon is an endgame dungeon

dense pier
#

So 69 good exp, 70 bad

warped nest
#

Once you done the daily

#

Just do the highest level leveling dungeon you can

#

If you are say lvl 70, queue for lvl 69 dungeon

dense pier
#

Leveling roullete daily is good or is it not worth it?

warped nest
#

It is good for the daily bonus

#

Once you got the daily bonus, just queue for dungeon manually

tight yarrow
#

can you only commend 1 player in a party

frigid sigil
#

are they going to rework the arr patch content with 5.3?

#

or just arr msq

slate arrow
#

yes

#

Yes

little swift
#

ARR as a whole will be adjusted

red junco
#

yo wtf when did they add the professional crafting stuff, i never realized that was there

frigid sigil
#

kk maybe time to take a break until then 2.1 and 2.2 are breaking me

little swift
#

not reworked

red junco
#

i thought it was just professional gathering crud

#

welp

tight yarrow
#

also, there was a menu that told me "you've done 6/10 FATEs, go do more" and I can't find it any more

little swift
#

are you talking about the master books liraxus?

red junco
#

nah the armor

little swift
#

that's your challenge log @tight yarrow

#

oh the white scrip gear for crafters

tight yarrow
#

hmm weird, it says it's not available for it, but I swore it was open earlier

slate arrow
#

it's under travel

red junco
#

ahhhh i see the gimmick with it

#

can't be melded yet and ain't as good as melded facet stuff

#

alright so i don't gotta bother with it

slate arrow
#

You're never able to meld scrip gear

#

it's always how it's been

red junco
#

well sorry! I only hit endgame in shadowbringers, like hell I know how it used to work

cosmic juniper
#

Is there a preferred source to download the game from? Steam vs website?

red junco
#

i just grabbed stuff for leveling and thats it

pliant cosmos
#

sorry, thanks for the help. Was contending with a tank that used none of his defensive CDs

#

I cant keep up with the heals and his massive pulls

obsidian patio
#

Steam is nice and simple if you don't live right in the suggested countries for the datacenters

slate arrow
#

@cosmic juniper you have to use the client to download the game, no way around it

#

the only difference between steam and standalone is the purchase method

obsidian patio
#

like if you live in Africa/middle east/south america

slate arrow
#

everything else is identical

pliant cosmos
#

non-steam is better for most people

cosmic juniper
#

But for steam can I get the free trial?

obsidian patio
#

yes

pliant cosmos
#

less DRM, and can use crysta

obsidian patio
#

but if you start the free trial on steam you have to buy the game on steam

pliant cosmos
#

if you start on steam though, you are stuck with steam

cosmic juniper
#

It only has me purchase the game, but I heard the 2 week free trial is no longer there and I think it’s permanent until lv35?

obsidian patio
#

while starting the trial on non-steam does not restrict you.

#

yep, can play as long as you want with a level cap of 35, among mostly social restrictions

#

!faq triallimits

zinc orbitBOT
cosmic juniper
#

Wdym by restrict? Like as in my progress if I start in steam won’t transfer if I choose not to go with steam?

pliant cosmos
#

yes, you cant transfer a steam account to non steam iirc

slate arrow
#

You must buy the game on steam with that account if you start on steam

cosmic juniper
#

Ah ok. And do I just need my steam account to play on steam? Or do I have to make another account too

#

Just curious on how I’ll be logging into the game

pliant cosmos
#

you need to make a square enix/ff14 account no matter what

leaden ginkgo
#

Guys how does loot system works for Eden Savage? I just finished e5s, but got 0/2 coffers. When I click on the e5s duty finder window, it says "Reward already recieved". I heard from someone I can get up to 2 pages a week but I only got 1 (because I only cleared once). If I join another party what would happen? Will they get less coffers because of me or can someone explain it better please

pliant cosmos
#

its the exact same on/off steam other than that there are more restrictions on how you buy things on steam

cosmic juniper
#

Ok thanks

nimble holly
#

what tiem do roullettes reset?

pliant cosmos
#

uh, there is a kupobot command for that

#

but I forgot it

#

@nimble holly

nimble holly
#

ty!

leaden ginkgo
#

@slate arrow So I'm guarante'd to get 1 book per week, but only 1 right?

slate arrow
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

so if I join a party after having cleared this weeks e5s, they wouldnt get 2 coffers right?

#

then id go down to 0 if more people cleared

raw solstice
#

no

slate arrow
#

1 or more = 1 chest

#

4 or more = 0chest

raw solstice
#

only 8/8 of not cleared would get 2 chests to spawn

leaden ginkgo
#

No wonder the run was so smooth... more than 4 already cleared

#

i got scammed

#

xd

#

well ty for the heads up

#

I should just take it as "well bad luck, didnt win this weeks coffers"

pliant cosmos
#

damn, does that count for you clearing?

slate arrow
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah it did count

pliant cosmos
#

cause that sucks if you cant try again with another party

leaden ginkgo
#

So next time I just click on [Loot] option for party finder

#

is that right?

slate arrow
#

or specify chests

#

Like 2 chest run

leaden ginkgo
#

Is Furor any harder than Fulmination? I will eventually have to learn the fight I guess

vagrant scaffold
#

I can't remember, do you lose triple triad cards if you lose?

leaden ginkgo
#

but also as more patches come out, I fear that putting time into learning eden savage will be pointless, as gear gets old fast

sage plaza
#

furor i feel is mechanically easier than fulmination

#

but dps check is a bit tighter, might be less of an issue this late in the tier

raw solstice
#

@vagrant scaffold nope, cannot lose any cards, you can only win cards randomly if you win

#

dps check was relatively lax and is even more lax with a bit more gear now

#

neither 5s nor 6s were particularly challenging, more an effort to try to limit deaths

#

same with 7 honestly but that one's a bit more nuanced, I suppose?

sage plaza
#

compared to fulmination anyways, where even reclears wipe a lot because of mechs

#

whereas furor generally's not too much of an issue

leaden ginkgo
#

thank you, Fulmination is a lot of mental gymnastics

#

will definitly go watch a guide to attempt it next week

sage plaza
#

mechs you'll have to get used to in furor's just strike spark and conflag strike

#

the rest is pretty simple

leaden ginkgo
#

would my iLV be an issue?

#

483, 484 soon

#

for furor

raw solstice
#

nah that's fine

leaden ginkgo
#

Wait so I cleared e5s, if I join another party and the coffers for that run are at 1 of 2, could I roll on that 1 coffer? Since I never got any coffers on my run for the week

raw solstice
#

no

#

you get one chance to roll on whatever drops on your clear

dense pier
#

Damn

raw solstice
#

past that, you can't roll on anything, get any pages, see any drops. If a chest spawns, you can't see what drops or roll on it

dense pier
#

You weren't joking about leveling roullete:

A bonus of 2,055,570 experience points and 9,750 gil has been awarded for using the duty roulette.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah alright

safe niche
#

Guys, to get to ninja I need to pick any melee dps class right ?

whole wasp
#

to get to ninja, you must level rogue to lvl 30

#

to get rogue, you must level ANY class to level 10 and do the level 10 class quest to unlock changing classes

#

then switch to rogue at the rogue's guilds in limsa

safe niche
#

Alright, thanks man

raw solstice
#

if you started with a class outside of limsa, you need to level to 15 MSQ which will take you to limsa, to unlock rogue

safe niche
#

Yeah, I'm doing main quests with the quests that has a plus sign next to it, so it's unlocking everything.

pliant cosmos
#

can you not get to limsa early by trekking across the land?

#

or do they block it off

#

(take the ferry at the waking sands)

obsidian patio
#

it's on an island and all boats to it are story-blocked

pliant cosmos
#

ah

obsidian patio
#

I think one possible workaround is being in an FC or sharing a house with someone in the mists

#

and using the manual exit to enter lower la noscea

#

which would let you reach limsa

sick zenith
#

Faster to do msq

pliant cosmos
#

ye, just do msq

#

its not long

#

well, msq is stupid long now... but getting to 15 isnt

safe niche
#

what does msq stand for ?

frigid sigil
#

main story quest

jade quartz
#

Main Scenario Quest

safe niche
#

ohh okay. so can i do msq straight without doing any other type of quests ?

remote lintel
#

you could

#

but not recommended

safe niche
#

okay, main ones and the ones with plus is more like it..

pliant cosmos
#

Ye, thats the best way. there are some great side quests out there though

jade quartz
#

And your class quests of course

sick zenith
#

I avoid side quests period

remote lintel
#

a few of the regular side quests give things like glams and minions

jade quartz
#

Which do have bluequest icons but just make especially sure you always go back for them.

safe niche
#

im sorry for these questions lol, but i've quitted WoW recently and needed something new

#

@jade quartz sure man will do

remote lintel
#

i refuse to do tam tara hard

frigid sigil
#

as someone that started recently save sidequest for leveling dps classes

You're better off doing almost anything else.

pliant cosmos
#

ye, they give real piddly exp

jade quartz
#

Regular yellow sidequests can be done whenever you want, or never.

pliant cosmos
#

but for just downtime while queuing its aight

frigid sigil
#

they were to me and I just finished most classes 1-50

jade quartz
#

Downtime while queueing you're better off even just doing FATEs

frigid sigil
#

fates are often dead

jade quartz
#

FATEs can be a solo activity.

frigid sigil
#

depends on the fate

pliant cosmos
#

most fates are solo

jade quartz
#

99% of FATEs are soloable.

remote lintel
#

the only ones you cant solo are like the boss fates

pliant cosmos
#

only the boss ones need more

remote lintel
#

even some bosses are soloable

jade quartz
#

The only ones that aren't are special elite FATEs which have special music.

frigid sigil
#

there is always a few level where I really liked having sidequests to close out the gap

pliant cosmos
#

bosses arent soloable if you are a idiot like me

remote lintel
#

use chocobo

pliant cosmos
#

I always manage to kill myself right at the end

safe niche
#

When you create a character, you come to a place where you have to choose "Char's date of birth" and "Deity" .. do these really matter?

remote lintel
#

no

pliant cosmos
#

not really from what ive found

jade quartz
#

They have no effect whatsoever.

frigid sigil
#

the stretch of coerthas and costa del sol can be really shitty with the right fates for your level spawning I've had that problem several time where I was 31 and all the stuff being 32. Dunno why people look down on sidequest when they give like 2/3 of a gold rank fate and are often faster vs soloing the kill certain amount of enemies fates

jade quartz
#

They won't even be mentioned in dialogue.

#

If you get married, your deity's symbol is visible in the ceremony decorations.

#

That's the most impact it has.

safe niche
#

Alright, thanks

remote lintel
#

i didnt even notice that

safe niche
#

To get to ninja, which melee class you guys recommend to level fast ?

pliant cosmos
#

where are you at?

jade quartz
#

@frigid sigil FATEs usually give approximately double the exp of sidequests of the same level

pliant cosmos
#

uldah or gridania

jade quartz
#

Due to the armoury bonus system.

#

And they are almost always faster to complete.

remote lintel
#

@safe niche you dont have to be a melee class, you just have to start in limsa

obsidian patio
#

Which would be Marauder and Arcanist

pliant cosmos
#

oh, I thought he already started

safe niche
#

Marauder is it then, lol it stats in limsa

pliant cosmos
#

if youre still in character creation, rogue starts in limsa

remote lintel
#

no

#

you can't start as rogue

pliant cosmos
#

ah, nvm then

safe niche
#

Glad/Pug/Marau/Lancer/Archer only

frigid sigil
#

for me costa del sol fates for close to 30 give like 30k at gold rank where as quest were 18k. Dunno the argument isn't that level with purely sidequest but fates just aren't as active or weren't for me and having sidequest left to do for a level range has been extremely nice for me and I've been missing them after running out of them after the 4th job.

remote lintel
#

and the magic classes

pliant cosmos
#

arcanist also starts in limsa, but its not martial

frigid sigil
#

For pretty much the same reason it feels good to hit 41 because then I can at least do kobold beast tribe to sometimes finish of a level vs porting all over the place and trying to find a fate that is suitable

remote lintel
#

fates contribute to challenge log

twin marsh
#

Which are the rp servers in eu?

jade quartz
#

@frigid sigil When we discuss FATEs, we're assuming soloing.

#

So them being "dead" or not has no bearing.

#

If there are other players helping then it's even more superior

frigid sigil
#

yeah I'm talking soloing to

jade quartz
#

But just as a baseline, everything I've said has been about soloing.

frigid sigil
#

because that's my experience basically just finishing out classes to 50 cause I've been dreading progressing through the patch msq parts

jade quartz
#

A level 31 sidequest gives about 7,600 exp. A FATE around that level near Costa del Sol gives about 7,600 exp, doubled because of armoury bonus, plus exp from enemy kills themselves and the massive boosts from the Challenge Log.

frigid sigil
#

I've just had it happen a lot of times where I was close to the next level but fates weren't optimal for my level cause they were like a few levels higher than I was and using sidequest which are generally pretty quick and can be turned in bulk has been nice supplemental exp often to hit the next level milestone that allows me to queue for the next dungeon or something

glacial holly
#

How do i turn on health % on enemies?

frigid sigil
#

the level 31 quests gave me like 18k per turn in

#

I assume there is some bonus from something influencing that

jade quartz
#

No bonus would make them reward 18k.

frigid sigil
#

they did for me

jade quartz
#

The exp rate for a level 31 sidequest is 7,600.

remote lintel
#

@glacial holly i assume its under character config under the menu that lets you fiddle with everyone's names

obsidian patio
#

I think control > target settings

remote lintel
#

or that

obsidian patio
#

definitely one of the top two main categories

frigid sigil
#

but sure don't do sidequest 🤷‍♂️ just sharing my very RECENT experiences on this trying to level, mrd is the last one I have left before I buy into expansion content

primal relic
#

Question I’m watching the trailer, who is the guy that pop up in all of em? Is that suppose to be the player?

#

A simple yes or no plz no spoilers

little swift
#

the black hair hyur?

steep heron
#

yes

little swift
#

that is the player representative

primal relic
#

Uh he’s some samurai guy fighting an angel

steep heron
#

Hes the stand in for (you)

remote lintel
#

yes

#

that's the warrior of light

little swift
#

we affectionately refer to him as the derplander

primal relic
#

Alright thanks and lmao

jade quartz
#

@frigid sigil it is likely that you have misremembered, as those quests do not give that much exp and there is no way that they could have.

remote lintel
#

also i wouldn't recommend watching the shadowbringers trailer if you haven't finished the expacs

jade quartz
#

That's hard factual data.

frigid sigil
#

I don't misremember stuff from few days ago

jade quartz
#

Many people misremember stuff from a few days ago.

primal relic
#

Well I did see 2 ppl I recognized

little swift
#

are you on a preferred server hol?

frigid sigil
#

sure if it helps you sleep

#

don't care to continue to argue when your stance is basically I don't want to believe your recent experience

remote lintel
#

take a screenshot next time

#

because what you're saying is that the game is broken for you

#

apparently

frigid sigil
#

I have no sidequest left

jade quartz
#

It is infinitely more likely that you've simply misremembered a small detail than that the game is not working.

twin marsh
#

Sorry for asking again,is there an official or unofficial rp server? EU region.

frigid sigil
#

I wish I had

little swift
#

@frigid sigil are you on a preferred world

frigid sigil
#

yes I am

obsidian patio
#

@twin marsh I've heard people wanting to make Louisoix and Omega into unofficial RP servers, though I haven't heard much about them

little swift
#

that would explain the increased sidequest exp reward

remote lintel
#

armoires cost 0 glam prisms

jade quartz
#

Preferred also wouldn't boost it to that extent

twin marsh
#

@obsidian patio ty

little swift
#

it would be double though, so about 15k exp

frigid sigil
#

nah game is broken for me

#

also I have goldfish brain

#

🤷‍♂️

little swift
#

hol i don't know why you feel the need to be so passive-aggressive

remote lintel
#

you have to switch to show the armoire

obsidian patio
#

You access the items in the armoire when setting up a plate

remote lintel
#

there should be abutton

jade quartz
#

This is just not a subjective thing Hol

frigid sigil
#

cause it's annoying to be told you can't remember things from a few days ago from someone that has probably not touched any of that stuff in a while

jade quartz
#

I went and looked up the information for you.

remote lintel
#

it doesn't matter whether Lyon has done any sidequests at all

frigid sigil
#

and I saw that stuff ingame so whatever

remote lintel
#

the wiki isn't wrong

jade quartz
#

I am not operating on my memory.

frigid sigil
#

it's not worth it to continue

obsidian patio
#

Stop antagonizing, please.

winged cobalt
#

Or i'll make you stop.

obsidian patio
#

yes

remote lintel
#

yes

#

there's a button when you open up your glam plates

obsidian patio
#

You can only edit plates when at the dresser

remote lintel
#

open glam plate > click a slot > click button that switches to armoire

#

and it'll show up

#

i would screenshot but im not in game

#

glam prisms and dispellers can be bought for cheap from the GC

at the second rank iirc

Which would you say is the aesthetically best looking healer?

whole wasp

SCH has cute fairies, WHM has the classic cleric look, AST got planets and stars

#

honestly, its up to your own aesthetic sensibility

simple nymph
#

question about rdm

echo tapir
#

scholar has graduation hat so you can pretend you graduated from hs

#

good glam

pliant cosmos
#

SCH has the worst glam

simple nymph
#

there are skills such as enchanted redoublement that say they can't be assigned to hotbar

echo tapir
#

scholar has nice glamour for schoolgirl look though

simple nymph
#

is that because the skills change when you use them?

echo tapir
#

only they get the cute skirt with the leg bits

sick zenith
#

Enchanted redoublement is a buffed form of redoublement

simple nymph
#

like it automatically changes the spell on the hotbar to whatever the next one in the combo is? for redoublement it would be zewerchhau

pliant cosmos
#

ye, but I play male lala, so no good glam for SCH

sick zenith
#

It automatically procs when you have enough white and black mana

simple nymph
#

ahhh that's it. thanks you

whole wasp
#

yes your redoublement automatically becomes enchanted redoublement when you got enough black/white mana.

sick zenith
#

Np

simple nymph
#

simple enough thanks!

whole wasp
#

it also has the dotted lines outline

#

when its ready

You can use the return skill to go back to the start of the dungeon

And then you go up the stairs

obsidian wren

The one you use to get back to your home aetheryte normally

If theyre in the boss room you can wait and it will take prompt to teleport you 15 seconds after they pull it

last vale
#

got a connection problem

#

nothing happens

#

establishing connection but it takes forever

grave glade
#

could I ask something ?

little swift
#

@last vale any error codes? Have you tried resetting routers/ flushdns

#

Yes you can

#

@grave glade

grave glade
#

so I finished SHB, and I found out that I've been late to the ishgard restoration party

#

i heard that some skybuilder scrips items won't change but some will

#

does it apply for the glamour armor pieces and mounts ?

echo tapir
#

it shouldnt matter if youre late cause you can still earn everything there

#

its just go to diadem and farm for an hour and cone back out to craft, earn scrips, buy stuff

grave glade
#

but i heard that the ishgardian restoration is ending in 5.3 and I haven't levelled my DOH/DOL up yet

little swift
#

Its not ending

echo tapir
#

you got some time

little swift
#

This phase is but next phase will start

#

Just means new materials to work with

safe niche
#

What is "additional retainers" ?

little swift
#

Retainers are your bank space

safe niche
#

ahh okay

grave glade
#

well, I thought that when a new phase is active, most of the items that you can trade changes

little swift
#

Additional ones are ones you can buy with real money

grave glade
#

trying to get the craftsman top and one of the mounts

echo tapir
#

yea like the first phase used to be stuff we collected in the outside world then this second phase is diadem stuff to craft with, i think

little swift
#

Your turnins change but the items from the scrip vendor dont

#

More items might be added

#

But none have been removed

echo tapir
#

i believe it wasnt that hard at all to earn enough scrips for top and mount

#

diadem helps you get your gathering up. then pick a doh job to earn with and keep doing their requests

grave glade
#

i see, I came from wow so there are some time gated items

echo tapir
#

yea ff14 is not as painful

little swift
#

Timed gated items are usually just seasonal event things

#

But those usually make a return in the cash shop

#

Eventually

grave glade
#

alright, I'll try diadem out later today

#

thanks for the help, both of you 😄

echo tapir
#

i think if i wasnt sure if i could craft something to reach the quality they require ( the collectability ) i used Teamcraft program to simulate

#

cause some stuff i could reach only the first 'tier' of collectability for ishgard turnins

#

and i had to just spam the shit outta that

The gear you get from The Maiden’s Rhapsody is it tight to your level. Like I'm 46 now when I finisht the quest will the gear be 46 or will it grow with my level. Or how does this work ?

its lv 1 gear

#

glamour only

Gears from collab are always glamour gears

ease of movement?

didnt she leave her homeland when she was really young

idk how it is over at sharlayan

If I do daily roulette after daily do I still gain xp?

last vale

@little swift yes rebooted router, delted flushdns cache

set config to default

nothing helped

maybe reinstall then

hoary storm

you gain the dungeon exp but not the big daily bonus

Anyone here familiar with "The Will of the Moon" quest from post-Stormblood? I managed to get past the moon once, now it's nigh impossible. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

jade quartz
#

When re-attempting you should be able to choose an easier difficulty.

#

Which mechanic is giving you trouble?

#

You can use spoiler tags by enclosing messages like ||this||

sand sable
#

i just got the ShB relic weapon for drk knight, i was using neo ishgardian overmelded, should i switch to the relic?

digital needle
jade quartz
#

Don't hide it.

vital lichen
#

@jade quartz I just did it, and I have no idea what I did different from the last 10 times. Normal difficulty, yet I had 20 seconds to spare. 🤷🏻‍♂️

jade quartz
#

You can move it, change its size, or change it to a more simplified-looking appearance in the HUD Layout interface.

hoary storm
#

Watch a video of someone doing it

vital lichen
#

If a MSQ needs a guide, then they've failed game at design!

hoary storm
#

I didnt have trouble in that part

jade quartz
#

Ensure you're killing all the adds

vital lichen
#

I didn't either. The spike came out of nowhere. I cruised through it the first time, but lost when I had to ||play as Sthola. I just don't know WHM||.

jade quartz
#

That's about it as far as I can tell

vital lichen
#

I didn't. Still, I won the last time.

#

There's some RNG involved, I am sure of that now.

jade quartz
#

There is not RNG involved.

#

I can tell you that for certain.

vital lichen
#

randomness then

jade quartz
#

RNG is randomness.

hoary storm
#

hmm maybe its your gear?

agile laurel
#

that's a piloting duty

#

i doubt gear comes into it

#

Oh wait unless they're only on the first bit

hoary storm
#

I think the first part you play as your job

jade quartz
#

The issue was on the first part

agile laurel
#

Ooh

#

i do remember i wiped once on that but only once

jade quartz
#

Likely an overlooked add or missed dps check.

hoary storm
#

So it could be theyre using low lvl gear

jade quartz
#

They're through now, anyway.

agile laurel
#

ah good

hoary storm
#

I was once doing lv 70 SMN quest with lv 60 gear and I just coundt do it no matter how much I tried

safe niche
#

I don't know if I can ask this question here, but if I want to move FFXIV from my HDD to my SSD, should I just cut the whole folder and put it in the SSD and that's it ?

simple nymph
#

infamous are you using steam?

safe niche
#

Nope, launcher

simple nymph
#

then you could theoretically do that i believe but you need to change whatever shortcuts you use to point to the same file in the new location

#

it's completely safe to copy/paste as long as you close ff and the launcher completely

#

or cut/paste i should say

#

if it doesn't work then you just put it back

safe niche
#

Alright, its because I've just bought the game I was on Trial and downloading a 20gb update, so it wouldnt hurt if move it to ssd

#

thanks man

simple nymph
#

yeah, dm me and i'd be glad to help if you run into issues and we can get into specifics

#

now for my question to whomever can help 🙂

safe niche
#

Sure will do bro, thanks again

simple nymph
#

i just started rdm and it's lv 50, should i do potd or hoh? i just unlocked hoh and i've gotten to floor 20 on my drk so i can go finish it on there and start from 21 on rdm

warped nest
#

Potd

#

HoH from lvl 61-70

simple nymph
#

gotcha

#

is it because the xp is better at potd earlier? or the runs are faster?

silver ruin
#

no

#

you literally cant enter hoh till 61

simple nymph
#

oh

#

gotcha ok thanks.

warped nest
#

Potd exp plateau at lvl 60 btw

simple nymph
#

right i knew that much

#

thanks sir

#

does hoh go all the way to 80?

#

as far xp gains

silver ruin
#

70

simple nymph
#

or does it cap at 70

agile laurel
#

stops scaling at 70

simple nymph
#

kk gotcha

agile laurel
#

theoretically you could go all the way to 80 but like why would you

warped nest
#

From lvl 70/71 onwards, your choices are roulette then dungeons

#

You can grind fate too (might as well, there are rewards for doing enough of them)

simple nymph
#

gotcha

oak ice
#

Unlock the pixie tribe

warped nest
#

Yeah, expansion combat beast tribe and hunt bills are good supplement exp

agile laurel
#

Would there be any decent way to find a crafter to make an item for me (that isn't just gonna take the mats and run off into the sunset)

#

All my FC/FL are offline

fresh lodge
#

They can't just run off, GMs enforce player agreements

#

Just shout in Limsa or make a PF

agile laurel
#

Ah? excellent

magic light
#

what was the <> cmd to show cooldown again?

pine bluff
#

just got scholar, what is the difference between eos and selene?

obsidian patio
#

none, they just look different

pine bluff
#

wut lol

obsidian patio
#

they used to do different things but Eos was the better one 99% of the time

obsidian wren
#

Eos used to be more healing focused and selene support focused

#

But people only really used selene for the attack speed boost before starting a fight and then switching to eos again

pine bluff
#

hmm ok

#

also, why doesnt scholar get access to all of arcanist abilities?

#

I think all the other jobs get full access to their base class abilities?

leaden ginkgo
#

savage is after extreme and the hardest right ?

agile laurel
#

scholar is the exception to that rule

slate arrow
#

@pine bluff they reworked healers and the arcanist kit did not fit the design for healers in shadowbringers

agile laurel
#

trials go normal-hard-extreme

#

raids go normal-savage

pine bluff
#

does summoner get arcanist's stuff?

obsidian patio
#

yes

agile laurel
#

yes

slate arrow
#

yes

pine bluff
#

kk

robust gazelle
#

I will never stop hating the fact that it goes Conjurer->White Mage and Arcanist->Summoner. Conjuring and Summoning are basically the same concept. Such an odd choice imo.

leaden ginkgo
#

both savage and extreme gives mounts right ,

obsidian patio
#

only the last fight of a savage tier, but yes

leaden ginkgo
#

ok

obsidian patio
#

the only exception is the binding coil as a whole and Alexander Midas

leaden ginkgo
#

what do you think a pld at 70 can solo today

#

and then at 80

robust gazelle
#

At 80 I know first hand you can solo all the 50 extreme trials.

#

I’m stuck on Second Coil 2 because the adds seem to always enrage.

#

But did all of Binding Coil solo.

#

Don’t think you could solo anything from SB though, even the Trials.

leaden ginkgo
#

ok

robust gazelle
#

At 70, not sure. Maybe you could get through some of the Extreme Trials.

#

I imagine it would be very difficult though.

#

Could probably solo any of the level 50 dungeons though. They’re comically easy at 80 so they should be fine at 70.

obsidian patio
#

70 can definitely do all the ARR extreme primals

shrewd owl
#

I did the Ifrit trial the other day with my 70 GNB so ye

obsidian patio
#

might just need to use clemency a bit for some fights

robust gazelle
#

I never tried so I couldn’t say. I know you can do them at 80 pretty easily.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ay yall

#

Waddup waddap

#

I skipped story n shit

#

Everything shit in ff14

#

But

#

I got 10 day ban yesterday

#

So I got myself ff14 pc version with new acc

#

My friends say to experience the story

#

But uh

#

I heard

#

ARR is terribly boring, but heavensward is gud

shrewd owl
#

ARR is a lot more tedious then the later expansions but i still dont see how thats a good reason to skip

leaden ginkgo
#

So should I just skip ARR and try heavensward, or just skip everything again and repeat Shb?

pine bluff
#

ARR gets pretty good in the last third, but it does take a long time to get there

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh shit

#

Well

#

I aint a fan of long time u know

ember briar
#

I enjoyed it, but I had 150 hours to burn

shrewd owl
#

if you do shadowbringers story immediately idk if you could enjoy it properly

leaden ginkgo
#

I aint gonna be alive tomorrow

#

I aint gonna be alive next month

#

So am a man on fire

#

Do u say I experience Heavensward then?

#

And also Stormblood

pine bluff
#

I played with road to 70 buff and I got to HW in about a week and a bit, playing every night though

#

the problem is you need to know what happens in ARR for HW to be good - but you should be able to get away with a youtube summary

#

but still, a lot of the scenes won't really have any impact on you

#

since you didn't go through the events alongside the characters

#

if you care about the game's story, you should not skip any of it

shrewd owl
#

"why is this pointy eared boy talking about brave crystals"

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh really @pine bluff

pine bluff
#

I actually dont know if it's even possible to skip only ARR?

leaden ginkgo
#

U played the story with a level boost?

pine bluff
#

is there a skip potion that only skips ARR?

leaden ginkgo
#

It is

oak ice
#

There's an ARR skip, yes

shrewd owl
#

Ye

pine bluff
#

ah ok

#

yeah, if you play on a preferred server, you get a buff for 90 days

#

called road to 70, it gives you 100% bonus on all exp gain

leaden ginkgo
#

For me I skip cutscenes tho unless theyre at like rly hype moments n shit

#

Ahh

#

Im playing on same server as my suspended account

#

For frends n all that u know

shrewd owl
#

how would u know theyre hype moments then

pine bluff
#

well... that CAN work.. I do tend to skip a lot of dialogues, but all the cutscenes are very important to experiencing the story properly

leaden ginkgo
#

U can feel

#

Like there're hype moments in ShB

pine bluff
#

that's right, you won't get hyped for anything if you have no idea what's going on

leaden ginkgo
#

I got hyped for ShB

#

Like hella hyped

#

Esp towards the end

#

But I skipped liek 80%

worldly ermine
#

oh well diff strokes for diff folks

leaden ginkgo
#

And also I dont like cutscenes without voice acting

#

So

#

I guess story in ARR will not be very interesting for me?

pine bluff
#

my advice is.. this game is already going to sink a lot of your time. you may as well do it properly and experience all of it

leaden ginkgo
#

I see

pine bluff
#

that includes the good and the bad, for better and worse

worldly ermine
#

ARR is actually only kinda good towards the end

leaden ginkgo
#

Btw how long will it take for me to finish each stories

#

If I play like

#

5 hours a day?

warped nest
#

A month or so

#

So 25-30 days

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh fuck me

shrewd owl
#

Yeah took me a month to get to shadowbringers

leaden ginkgo
#

I skipping this shit

worldly ermine
#

I played like 12 hours a day it took me a week and so to complete an expansion

leaden ginkgo
#

What about if I start at

#

Heavensward

pine bluff
#

I'm early on in HW right now, and my play time is 5 days. BUT I do a lot of extra stuff like levelling other jobs

shrewd owl
#

well aighty then
There is new game plus but rn it doesnt have ARR

leaden ginkgo
#

How long will it take to finish ShB?

warped nest
#

I am assuming that you didn't do anything else like level a job on the side

pine bluff
#

so @shrewd owl for me I'd say it was about 96 hours of play time to finish ARR

#

but that's with road to 70 buff

leaden ginkgo
#

I just get level boosts for my job

#

I already beat E7S

pine bluff
#

oops I meant @leaden ginkgo lol

robust gazelle
#

For ARR it’s about 90-100 hours if you’re playing for the story.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah I see @robust gazelle

robust gazelle
#

Each expansion is I think ~50 hours if you’re playing for story.

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeaahh right

#

I see 🙂

pine bluff
#

it can be even faster if you just completely main line the story

robust gazelle
#

I plowed through so it was ~75 for ARR, and ~40 hours per expansion.

pine bluff
#

but I took my time with it, levelled a bunch of other jobs

How to auto target enemies?

#

Like after killing one enemy, I want to it to auto focus on the next closest enemy

twilit arch
#

there is no way to auto target, have to press tab or click on the enemy

agile laurel
#

tab spamming til you find one you like the sound of generally suffices

#

mostly it's just a matter of finding a target in a convenient line across the whole pack

tardy silo
#

Hello,
Doing FSH relic and Dragonspine fish is missing since yesterday “The fish sense something amiss ... etc” I’ve tried both pools still nothing (4 fishes remain)

wheat hazel
#

Does new game+ go up to 5.2?

slate arrow
#

@tardy silo fish in a new spot and then return

#

You've just accidentally tripped the anti-botting measure that's all

tardy silo
#

Ah

#

Thank you

obsidian patio
#

@wheat hazel only up to 5.0 for now

leaden ginkgo
#

Ay yall

#

got a hard time deciding between

#

Bard ninja and BLM?

#

Which one would be a good balance between op + easy while looking good for female charas?

#

I wanna wear a kimono

#

So want it to suit my kimono too

#

magic light
#

got ast to 50

#

what's with minor arcana

#

and divination

agile laurel
#

Okay, so

#

On every card there's a symbol in the top middle

#

idc what they're actually called but let's say sun circle and moon

#

playing a card on a player in combat grants you that symbol, once you have 3 symbols you can use Divination if it's not on cooldown

magic light
#

okay, that seems easy to understand

#

what about minor arcana

agile laurel
#

having 3 of the same seal gives a 4% damage buff to all players in range, having 3 unique seals gives 6%

#

so always aim for 3 seal div

echo tapir
#

i wish for the star symbol they just went 🌟

agile laurel
#

Minor arcana doesn't give a seal, and gives a slightly higher buff

#

So use minor arcana when you don't want or need the seal from playing the card

#

i.e. the symbol is one you have and you're out of redraws, OR you have 3 unique seals already

ember briar
#

I like to store a three-seal divination and use minor arcanas to avoid losing it

agile laurel
#

yup

#

minor arcana just plays Lord/Lady of Crowns which is a melee/range card that gives slightly higher % buff and doesn't give a symbol

#

so use it when you either can't redraw a bad symbol or you already have 3 uniques and don't want to overwrite them

magic light
#

what is a bad card?

agile laurel
#

if you're playing cards on cooldown well and correctly (and/or get lucky) you'll have 3 unique seals well before Divination is off cooldown again, so in that time you should be playing minor arcana

#

if you have a sun symbol stored, and you get another sun card

#

you don't want to play that, cause you want unique symbols

#

and playing that would give 2 suns

magic light
#

so, out of the 6 unique cards, I can't have 2 of the same

agile laurel
#

and if you can't redraw to get something that isn't a sun, then dump it with minor arcana

#

case in point: i have circle and sun stored, and one free symbol slot. I draw balance, which is a sun arcana

#

i redraw twice and fail to get a moon arcana

twilit arch
#

its not that big of a deal to get 3 different seals

agile laurel
#

it isn't, but you may as well

twilit arch
#

its far more important to get divination out as consistently on cd as you can

agile laurel
#

True

twilit arch
#

ideally yes, you want to aim for 3 different seals

agile laurel
#

but as I said, it takes vastly less time to get 3 seals total than it takes for divination to come off cooldown

#

especially with sleeve draw

twilit arch
#

but delaying your divination for it is not worth it

agile laurel
#

since draw is a 30sec CD and divination is 120

ember briar
#

oh yeah, in an opener, you take what you can get ahaha

magic light
#

oh, i see the symbols now, crescent, moon and sun

agile laurel
#

yup

#

call em what you like tbh, i never bothered to learn names

twilit arch
#

some times rng does fuck you and i've never had 1 seal divination out

#

but 2 seals is commonish

agile laurel
#

yeah

twilit arch
#

3 seals realistically shouldn't be that uncommon, but you also don't want to waste too much time on redraws. want to also try and be consistent with playing cards out

agile laurel
#

if you get 3 consecutive uniques, that's considerably lucky so have redraws on hand/minor arcana if you have the time or just take an L

#

but in short, minor arcana if you don't want a seal, divination to use 3 seals

ember briar
#

I haven't fiddled with my astro too much, is it possible to weave 2x redraws into a gcd?

sand flame
#

So for e7 does the debuff for teleport change direction from the original point if you move your camera around? (for the hud)

agile laurel
#

yes and no

#

you can, but the anim lock of redraw will clip you

ember briar
#

yep that's what I thought

#

thanks

agile laurel
#

Is there any dyeable version of the level 60 GNB coat that gnb can actually wear?

twilit arch
#

whats the name of it, i forgot

#

outsider, right. sadly no not for gnb

pine bluff
#

is it just me or do some mounts feel slower? I imagine it's just because of the animation

agile laurel
#

animation, likely

leaden bolt
#

Small mounts feel like they move faster because their smol legs move ‘faster’

pine bluff
#

the chocobo feels the fastest

#

yeah

agile laurel
#

i always felt mounts like the fatter cat and the dodo felt notably faster than 2-man chocobos or the eldthurs or so

oblique yew
#

Is flame elite the capitan or champion?

twilit arch
#

Flame elite is neither. Its bought with allied seals at 2nd lt

#

Champion also isnt availble

oblique yew
#

What? Why?

#

It listed here though?

twilit arch
#

Because they havent added it. Like yes they have all the ranks listed but players can only gwt up to capt atm

oblique yew
#

Is there a link to flame captain set?

twilit arch
#

Its just weapons. Not at my comp atm but gamerescape has pictures of them

okay so which region is the most active I was on aether (I'm new to the game ) I just bought a level up all expansion it leveled me to 70 but no one is ever on my server it seems lol

#

I've been playing wow for a really long time but j love final fantasy more and cause of inoichifantasy streams lol

twilit arch
#

Its early morning for na. Not going to be the most active right now

#

Its same for other regions in their morning

granite monolith
#

oh okay so give it some time lol

#

I mean I just spent money on this level boost it would be a waste

leaden bolt
#

Aether is dead at this time of the day in general, but the servers there are generally all active as far as I know. However, most people just don’t hang out in non-endgame areas other than the major cities. You’ll get more luck in the ShB zones for people.

granite monolith
#

what do I do after I got the level boost

#

I got every dlc

#

but i haven't done any missions tbh

leaden bolt
#

Main story quest. If you got a jump potion as well, you’ll start in shadowbringers. Otherwise, you’ll be on the quest had before since character level is independent of story level.

twilit arch
#

Close to home is your first main scenario quest

granite monolith
#

so basically I gotta do all quests no matter what then

twilit arch
#

Yes msq is mandatory

pine bluff
#

@granite monolith press print screen on your keyboard, then ctrl + v here in discord. much faster to screenshot than to take a pic with your phone

granite monolith
#

lol thanks bro

leaden bolt
#

Yeah, unless you buy a skip, which isn’t recommended if you want to experience the story.

twilit arch
#

This is a story driven mmo so focus is put quite heavily on it

granite monolith
#

okay

#

in your honest opinion which server is most active for pve

broken rune
#

Just grind it out and press ESC a lot

granite monolith
#

I'm on admantoise aether

twilit arch
#

Any of them. Duty findrr is cross server

shrewd owl
#

Well PvP isnt that big of a deal in this game from what I heard

#

And ye

#

What Kaelwyrn said

twilit arch
#

Pvp is instance and not really a focus od the game

granite monolith
#

okay so basically I should start and enjoy it from the very beginning

#

and take my team relax and enjoy it basically

twilit arch
#

Yes

granite monolith
#

also I'm a sword kinda guy

#

is there a job that's not a tank with a melee

silver ruin
#

shrewd owl
#

Samurai

silver ruin
#

granite monolith
#

silver ruin
#

pine bluff
#

Won't P1-->p2 Transition just wipe you?

silver ruin

warped nest

#

Not tank Pov though

safe niche
#

as a melee dps, are ninjas worth it for pve/raids ? I've seen vids and guides for it on youtube, but I need opinions.

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

if you like it, it's worth it

and if you don't then it probably still is but up to you

High level Ninja gets to play with Lightning and Ice Ninjutsu for single target, fire Ninjutsu and summon fire frog for AOE, wind Ninjutsu to speed up, and water Ninjutsu to make enemy more vulnerable to attacks, create shadow clones, bvaha is basically Rasengan

#

So if this sounds good to you, then go for it

mint temple
#

When I play the game, it doesn't show on my discord's status
why is that

#

not related to the game but

#

can't seem to fix it

safe niche

You can enable that manually, from the Game Activity option.

mint temple

tried that

#

it's not showing up

Playing it through Steam or launcher?

how does weekly loot work with savage?

safe niche
#

Are you sure your Status is turned off ?

slate arrow
#

chests determined by the amount of people who have cleared that week

glad comet
#

so uh

mint temple
#

It's not turned off

#

no

glad comet
#

what's an example

slate arrow
#

2 chests if all 8 haven't cleared

#

1 chest if at least 1 has cleared

#

0 if at least 4 have cleared

glad comet
#

huh but we had 6/8 and only two chests?

slate arrow
#

and you can't double dip on rolling for loot in the week

glad comet
#

6 out of 8 haven't cleared*

slate arrow
#

talking about the chest chests

twilit arch
#

for the week

slate arrow
#

not the coffers

glad comet
#

oh you mean the books?

slate arrow
#

the chests in front of the exit

glad comet
#

so you can only roll for loot once a week?

twilit arch
#

yes

glad comet
#

so if I don't get it

#

that counts as a week?

twilit arch
#

yes

glad comet
#

I see

#

Thanks!
