They mean development roadmap
warped nest
I’m lv55 50% just entered HW, do I continue DR rewards on the main char or use them on alts instead?
@open solstice up to you
warped nest
5.3, 5.4, 5.5
faint flare
But we know what is coming
warped nest
Then 6.0 in Q3/Q4 2021
faint flare
Cause again, SE is forumalic
warped nest
Formulaic
faint flare
Yes
twilit abyss
well, i was wondering about planned features
faint flare
They dont give details on those until prior to patches
twilit abyss
ah, i see
faint flare
We know the main type of content that comes
warped nest
Do you have any feature in mind?
faint flare
Ie story every major patch, new 8man raids with new gear and tomes every even patch, new 24man every odd patch with relics
Etc
twilit abyss
i am curious about more classes (planning to level all healers before expansion
warped nest
They are always added on expansion
warped nest
The expectation is we will have 2 per expansion
Personal opinion: 6.0 might introduce an original job + 1 existing job (in FF series)
leaden ginkgo
If they don't, the community will be kinda upset from what I understand
faint flare
Yeeep
warped nest
HW added tank, healer, dps
SB added 2 dps
ShB added tank, dps
leaden ginkgo
And that's been the case since like, SB release, so they assumedly knew this information when they started the dev cycle for the next classes
warped nest
So most of the community agreed that 6.0 will probably be healer + dps
leaden ginkgo
I get what you mean there yeah
quartz pivot
Guys, at level 60, is there an advantage to getting Doman gear over Artifact gear?
quartz pivot
Wut? Doesnt doman have way less stats than artifact?
twilit arch
no, doman gear is not better than artifact
quartz pivot
Yeah, that’s what I noticed. But they cost the same. Why?
warped nest
Doman is the first tier of tomestone gear right?
faint flare
Because they were an old gear set back in the day
warped nest
Or was I thinking something else
twilit arch
doman gear was originally the first tomestone gear for heavensward
with artifact gear being the weekly capped tomestone gear
quartz pivot
Sooo there’s no real advantage to getting doman gear now?
warped nest
They work as glamour now
twilit arch
its glamour
quartz pivot
I see. Are there other level 60 gear in idyllshire worth saving up for?
faint flare
Shire
twilit arch
yes, the shire set
quartz pivot
Hmm... is it in the wonders shop? I’m barred from using it apparently
warped nest
And augmented shire is good up to lvl 65 ish 
Have you finish the base Heavensward story?
twilit arch
talk to hismena in the main building in the center of idyllshire
quartz pivot
No , not yet
twilit arch
you do not need to have completed "Heavensward" to buy shire gear
quartz pivot
Oh found it. Thanks 😉
warped nest
So, not the same as SB and Scaeven gears
Hismena has also sell lower ilvl Eikon series (Hellfire, etc etc) you want the i260 Shire series
rocky tide
Do you have any guides/recommendations for leveling DoL/DoH? I just got all of them up to lvl 20 today. Is easier to go with the Ishgard Restoration items vs. Leves? I got fisherman up to 60 today by spamming leves - but I can see it getting expensive with the marketboard.
remote lintel
what's the command to roll a die?
raw solstice

silver ruin
ishgard restoration has no limits unlike leves,theres a good guide for it with macros and everything
remote lintel
can other people see the /random?
raw solstice
yeah

leves for miner/botanist arent bad though, idk about earlier ones but 60-80 you dont buy stuff off mb for it

Hello, maybe you guys can help me here on this but...
Everoyne says the game looks great, andpeople take screenshots using gpose and everything looks amazing I just think it's them using 3rd-party software to make the game look better.
I think the game looks like trash, because evreything looks smudged or washy. Here is what my game looks like on max settings with <software>:
https://i.imgur.com/HLFHg85.jpg
shrewd owl
yeah a fuckton of people use reshade/gshade
(me included)
game looks pretty washed out normally
remote lintel
this isn't a question or asking for help
dense pier
Yes
It is asking for help
Other people are sayin the game looks good, and people's screenshots look good
Why does my game look so bad
That breastplate looks like it might as well be from 2006
and that's not the only armor piece
All my glams have looked this low-resolution, even though I'm playing on 1440p
remote lintel
do the textures look like that on other people?
dense pier
mmm
I don't believe so, but I also haven't stood zoomed in comparing my armor to theirs
remote lintel
why don't you go look
dense pier
I am, everyone's looks fine but I'm also not an expert in wearing their armor
little swift
good lighting goes a long way too
making use of gpose and its tools is still plenty to work with
dense pier
I mean
I took screenshots for people here in NN and they're agreeing my armor looks weirdly low-res
dense pier
Here, I'm having people come to take screenshots of my character
remote lintel
it happens on all of your armor?
dense pier
Yes cerb, all my armor has bene notorously low-res looking
Unless I'm very unlucky with my choice of gear
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
and you're wearing the fending set from pvp in that screenshot right?

Yeah. I just had some people come take screenshots of me. It looks like that armor just looks bad

I just reached level 80 on Paladin, but I'm still wearing level 70 equipment. Roulettes never put me into anything higher than level 71 dungeons. Too poor to afford marketboard equipment. Can I find lv80 equipment in Eureka? I'd like to try working on that next, but I also would like to get some better equipment at the same time.
junior yacht
Eureka was level 70 content
last brook
Oof
junior yacht
it does not provide anything above level 70
last brook
That's too bad 😦
junior yacht
there is an MSQ quest that should be coming up soon that will give you a full set of level 80 gear
junior yacht
you can also do daily roulettes for tomestones, although you won't be able to turn them in until you finish the 5.0 story
remote lintel

I have 200~tomes. Not enough to afford gear with tomes.
junior yacht
he hasn't finished the story

oh then just keep going through the story
remote lintel
then where are you at
static yacht
alternatively if you are super gung ho about it
just spam the highest level dungeon you have unlocked
cause you'll get gear from doing that
last brook
I've unlocked Eden's Gate with my dragoon that wears level 77/78 equipment at level 80. That's as far as I've made it with the quests.

if you're done 5.0

unlock them all
static yacht
go get the free weathered 430 armor
static yacht
then spam eden's gate
junior yacht
if you're done with the story you were required to get a free set of gear
last brook
I guess I'll just do some level 75 dungeons, get that equipment, and then do higher dungeons as I work my way up to get equipment... Cause I can't enter eden with the i416 on dragoon.
last brook
Where?
static yacht

last brook
There is 80 class gear?
junior yacht
when you were talking to that dude in the underwater forge
remote lintel
why do you think you had to do the role quests
junior yacht
you were required to get it to complete the quest
remote lintel
to inspire that guy
junior yacht
you can't not have it
last brook
I'll check it out now, thank you.
static yacht
yeah go get your free ilvl 430 stuff from him then spam the level 80 dungeon til you have high enough item level
then go spam eden's gate 1-4
last brook
Oh dang, I didn't know this guy gave equipment. As soon as the quests ended, I never talked to him again
remote lintel
static yacht
you can get
unlimited amouints of armor from him iirc
so if you lose it just go back to him

Does your search info update like every 24 hours?
I got monk this morning and it's still not updated, 16-18 hours later

It should be instant actually idk

Nah I'm literally on DRK now and it says I don't have it unlocked lol

Obviously on my char screen it's proper
I'm sure one of the gurus in here said search info can be iffy
And take some time to reflect new jobs etc
dense pier
Okay, so I am astro
Say the fight is going on for a while, I'm only Lv.33 at the moment
If I need to regen mana but also need to keep healing
is it better to use "cure 2" or "cure 1"
Yes I know they aren't called cure for astro
it's just easier to type
remote lintel

remote lintel
you mean actions and traits

Yeah I do that already
All my cooldowns are gone, my potions are on cd. Tank has no cds left

Now which do I use to keep healing with

if its taking that long
dense pier
Cure 1 or Cure 2

your dps are bad

use cure 1
lime sphinx
what monsters do i farm with the reflect logograms in pyros?
dense pier
Thank you
remote lintel
benefic 2 if the tank lost a lot of hp
remote lintel
1?
static yacht
1 is more mana efficient
dense pier
2 looks like it costs more healing for less
static yacht
but its GCD inefficient
static yacht
yes
ideally
you are able to spam 2+ gravities
for every cure 2
and shit dies before you run completely out of mana
remote lintel
I mean if the tank has absolutely no cds then they would be dying faster
so benefic 2
vagrant canyon
how do I get more Allagan Tomestone of Poetics at level 50? Beside beast dailies
vagrant canyon
oh 50+ only?
static yacht
is this your first character?
static yacht
you should have some poetics stock piled for the "first time bonus"
vagrant canyon
indigo orbit
You'll get ilv 110 stuff from post-ARR MSQ
vagrant canyon
I have 15 from the fish dudes, still doing arr msq
What's the first time bonus tho?
indigo orbit
You get a bonus in those dungeons when someone in your group hasn't completed them yet
static yacht
which includes yourself
vagrant canyon
Oh
static yacht
yeah, keep going through the story
vagrant canyon
My latest dungeon is 47 vale, havent unlocked newer ones yet

You should also work on unlocking Crystal Tower
Because it's gonna be required in 5.3

it's a 24 person raid
vagrant canyon
Oof
static yacht
3 groups of 8 people

the quest for the begins in mor dhona

it's old content though, so because everyone is high item level it'll be easy and most of the mechanics can be ignored

its called "Legacy of Allag"
indigo orbit
most
vagrant canyon
I'm just doing the arr msq atm, still have heaven and storm to go through
zinc orbitBOT
static yacht
I would strongly suggest you just play through the story, and once you have enough poetic tomes
little swift
Crystal Tower has relevance to the story later
static yacht
get a set of 120 item levle iron works gear
and then you don't have to worry about gearing up
for anything pre-heavensward
vagrant canyon
Slowly accumulate poetic tomes, buy ironworks, faceroll through the rest of the story
Sounds simple enough
indigo orbit
CT is a pretty decent source of poetics
simple shore
MSQ will also just feed you a set of 110 gear as you do it
indigo orbit
too
leaden ginkgo
When doing E savage, I noticed that 3 coffers dropped instead of 2 (2 Necklaces and 1 Bracelet) what’s the criteria on coffee drops? I know having people who are te-clearing will drop your coffers from 2 to possibly 0. But why did we get 3?
static yacht
you alwys get 3 for 2 chests
there's 2 chests and one chest will drop 2 coffers
its random which one does
so if you are 1 chest
then there's a chance of you getting 2 coffers or 1 coffer

but idk how to understand my fflogs
unreal aspen
xivanalysis?
little swift
unreal aspen
aaaa i have not thank u
little swift
i mean its true, if you die you break your combo momentum
and its nto always easy to recover
on top of that, weakness cripples your dps
junior yacht
just staying alive is the single biggest boost to your DPS you can get
warped nest
Another thing, always choose using a Weaponskill over hitting positional, if you cannot fulfill both at that given moment
little swift
fights basically play out with
opener (highest starting dps) > slowly try to prevent the burn out of dps decrease
junior yacht
yeah what
static yacht
he means that
little swift
so you try your best to do things that slow that dps loss
static yacht
if you need to run out
junior yacht
weaponskills are gcds

like aligning your burst with raid buffs

ninja also has the added benefit of not losing uptime when leaving the boss

what level should i do the job stone

once i run out of true north charges do i still use aeolian edge even though i dont get the positional?
shrewd rune
level 30?
warped nest
If you can't hit neither positional, then Aoelien edge
shrewd rune
okay just making sure takkun im still downloading the game ;p
static yacht
do note that
warped nest
If you can hit armor crush positional, then armor crush wins
little swift
you have to get far enough into the main story first gucci
unreal aspen
ok ty, then armor crush is only better if i get the positional but cant get rear positional with aeolian
static yacht
you need to have finished your quests

you cause alignment issues

do i do class stuff first then do main story?

aa i was using it to train my opener mostly bc of the cooldown resets, is it better to just use a normal one otherwise?
o w8 that makes sense bc stone sea sky ends once it dies

is this game p2w or grind to win

so i wouldn't be able to really figure out my cooldown lineups
i would say it's learn ur class 2 win
little swift
!faq sss
zinc orbitBOT
unreal aspen
only thing that could really be considered p2w is retainers
and thats just for making gil
shrewd rune
ohh
little swift
if you're practicing just general rotation, a regular dummy works better
shrewd rune
not really much p2w thats good
unreal aspen
you can level boost classes but
little swift
but if you're doing opener practice sss isn't bad since oyu can reset cds with it
unreal aspen
that just lets you skip the grind, you'll still have to learn them to do well on them

As Paladin, the skill "Interject" appears to never do anything. I've used it on trash mobs, I've used it on bosses... The description gives the impression that it is like an interrupt, but... I've never seen it work. Does it actually work???
indigo orbit
It only interrupts certain abilities
dense pier
Their cast bar needs to be flashing/shaking
If it's stable and a single color then it's not interruptable
As well, it's very, VERY laggy
So unless you got CS:GO reflexes or can read the future, a lot of spells that seem interruptable can't be interrupted reliably
last brook
Ooooh! I've seen that flashing effect before. I'll try it again.
dense pier
Yeah, but at lower levels it's not very common to see long-casting interruptables
Most mobs pre 60 are stunnable
little swift
!faq interrupt
zinc orbitBOT
dense pier
Stun is your friend as a PLD
indigo orbit
Usually if something needs to be interrupted the cast will be long enough to let you do it reliably
dense pier
Yup
next jay
So i can just use stun to interrupt
indigo orbit
sometimes
last brook
Is there a resist to interject? Similar to something being stunned too often?
indigo orbit
but stuns have diminishing returns
next jay
Right
indigo orbit
there is no DR on interject
next jay
Ic
indigo orbit
Because it's just an interrupt it doesn't silence or anything
It works a lot like how kicks in WoW work these days
next jay
So it mostly used for higher lv right?
shrewd spoke
Hello, is there a dedicated channel for trading goods here?
jade quartz
Injerject isn't any more laggy than any other ability really
Got that 0.7s delay that applies to like
the whole game.
No dedicated trading channel here.
If you've got high-value stuff you want to trade without using the marketboard, then just using the party finder is likely your best bet.

not really high value, just some wood for some leather you know
was hoping to find traders somewhere in here

Is there a way to see other players skill effects ?
inland scarab
Character config > character tab > battle config settings
Ppl usually turn it off tho, especially for things like rank A hunts which depop alot during peak times
solid fog
Yeah, i just wanted to know if such a setting existed cuz i want it on right now,5 ninjas dotoning
inland scarab
Can max setting if having decent pc specs. Expect really bright screen like bunch whm holying. lawl
solid fog
theres an option for "Limited" any details on what that means
jade quartz
Limited shows ground effects like doton, healer bubbles
Highly recommended you keep party members on limited even if you want others off.
Else you'll end up standing outside the healer's bubble like a fool.
solid fog
I had it off, only self full
No wonder ok ty
I was like , does this scholar ever pop his bubble
Im gonna put all 3 settings to full and have fun 
inland scarab
Try that on rank S 5.0 hunts 😆
solid fog
Hmm its already bad
with everything turned to off and character and object quantity to low
i cant imagine how bad it is with full effects
inland scarab
What’s ur gpu, if i may?
inland scarab
Oh... a bit low for full effects
solid fog
I have everything at max and its always 60 no matter what , only in hunts it gets 50 or lower
its not a heavy game anyway
inland scarab
True, but 5.0 crowded stuff usually would take massive hit on fps if max settings
jade quartz
Full effects in hunts are heavy AF.
inland scarab
Bad idea if doing rank A tours tho. lawl
solid fog
I do like 1,2 trains and i get 20 cracked stellacusters without knowing lol
the problem of materia shortage in past expansions dont exist right now

Kinda wish SE fix that rank As, but yoshi already said won’t fix it... 😛
solid fog
I dont think thats something needing fixing,just change the code to don't depop when a certain number of players are in the spot or something
i did experience it couple of times
and panicked
inland scarab
Like i said, yoshi already state won’t fixing it

I think they changed the whole crafter jobs??

Yea, 5.1 got massive doh reworked

I don't think its something worth fixing, might spend the time on something more important

I only did heavensward crafting and gathering, i have no idea how 5.0 crafting looks like

& 5.2 got another semi overhaul on doh skill, so better look up recent guides on that
Tons of unused skills trimmed

all cross class skills for DoH is gone. Most of them are baked into your normal actions and traits
wet cradle
ah I see
inland scarab
every doh now has that xskill
solid fog
Thats nice, are there less skills? cuz that hotbar is full
whole wasp
it might be an X on your bar but its still avaliable, just have to put in your class version of it

So in essence could just max 1 doh

for example, waste not, innovation etc are still around
wet cradle
wait you can just max one doh?
whole wasp
possible but still not recommended but yea, its alot easier
inland scarab
Yea, like i said, being remade into their own doh class skills
whole wasp
also every DoH got massive boost to exp rewards from nearly every source
leves up, GC turnins up, new ishgard restoration
inland scarab
It’s already huge boost for me comparing on grinding doh 1.0 style & 2.0 😉
vagrant canyon
Uh...can the ixal quest make you walk super, super slow? Even when mounted, or it's just me?
inland scarab
U only missed story & ranking content
unreal aspen
is the facet crafting gear better than white scrip even if it isn't overmelded?
solid fog
idk about DoH but DoL fisher specifically i just did the job quest and i leveled from 50-70 without realizing it
inland scarab
Can upgrade mount speed from hunt npc @ GC using hunt seals
wet cradle
have they added ishgard housing?
inland scarab
Not yet
whole wasp
yes but your gil will suffer.
inland scarab
Can only do 1 overmeld with 8s
whole wasp
i did minimum meld so i pentamelded all my accessories, quad most of my armor and single meld my tools
inland scarab
5.3 would have new doh/dol BiS tho. Probably best hold on that atm
unreal aspen
oh true
whole wasp
even then, my lowest % chance was 17%
unreal aspen
would my best bet be sticking with white scrip gear and waiting until 5.3 then?
solid fog
think i wasted 2m gil on my dol materias
inland scarab
It’s still like at least 1 month away tho
unreal aspen
since my friend has supermelded crafting gear and i can just gather the mats and ask him to craft the 5.3 gear LOL
whole wasp
if you dont plan to make anything, that fine.
you can go for the relic tools too
those are pretty good
solid fog
Relic+proffesional armor,you can do everything with those
wet cradle
the moogle that is placed on all three capital cities have 3 different inventories... can you just earn from the first one?
inland scarab
U can now extract materias without destroying gears like in the past, so grinding on new diadem for dol or doing xpert crafting would net u faster doh/dol 7s/8s
whole wasp
@wet cradle those are for previous events in case people haven't claimed their rewards, you can only earn tomestones for the current event
solid fog
Wonder if dol/doh relics will ever shine
whole wasp
yea and remember to eat the spiritbond potion and the squadron spiritbond manual
materia 7 & 8 overflows
wet cradle
is that an answer to me?
whole wasp
oh no for boar
solid fog
% of success is 40% i think
inland scarab
lol thx. I’m already swimming in hundreds of materias tho 😉
solid fog
Can we just ask Yoshi for a combined shared market board
whole wasp
market will crash
solid fog
it will be fineee, changing 6 servers to check the lowest price sucks
inland scarab
What i rly wanna is 1.0 version where u don’t hafta sell bulks of it. 😅
still don’t get why changing to bulk transaction per 2.0... 🧐
solid fog
Also a feature to select recommended gear for retainers would be dope too
placid tide
around what times are queues not so bad for non current content? or is it usually always really bad
ripe grove
on dps queues are always a tad long.
solid fog
yeah just waited 20 minutes for a dungeon as a mch, and its also morning so less people online rn
placid tide
yeah im at 15 minutes. just wondering if i should just stop and try again later because i cant progress in the main quest unless i do it
solid fog
still suprised it popped in 20 minutes thats actually fast lol, i guess its the new moogle tomestone content dungeon thats why
what are you queuing
placid tide
sastasha, one of like the very first things you can queue
so i understand why it would take a long time
solid fog
Oh, hmm wait a little longer, if u are 2/2 on dps, healer and tank 0/1 is kinda a trap so u never know when they are gonna appear
inland scarab
Could ask friend or random ppl in novice network to undersize for ya 😉
solid fog
I have no idea if sastasha is on the Leveling duty roulette roster soo if its not
give up 😂
whole wasp
it is
inland scarab
All dungeon in roulettes
whole wasp
satasha is on the leveling duty roulette. first hand experience
no, hard mode dungeons are not in roulettes afaik
inland scarab
Also dr mentor
obsidian patio
The only duties not in any roulette are coil and savage raids
whole wasp
or are they in 50/60/70?
ornate gale
If my retainer is a lvl 50 NIN, how do I get her to become a Samurai?
obsidian patio
They’re in 50/60/70
inland scarab
Yea, 50/60/70
obsidian patio
I think you’d need to reset them to be a combat class, as gatherers can’t upgrade into jobs
inland scarab
Ur retainer have to reset class/job back to lvl 1
Highly recommend setting them same as ur main
ornate gale
Yeah
well it's not on the list
of assign a class
is there something I have to buy or?
inland scarab
Nope
obsidian patio
Start as any combat class and then get them to 50
You do need to get a thing from the retainer vocate, costs 20 ventures IIRC
ornate gale
Yeah I reset my lvl 50 nin after I bought a copy of modern vocation
from retainer vocate
but like I can't assign it to be SAM so idk
obsidian patio
They can’t start as expansion jobs
ornate gale
how do they change to expansion jobs?
slate arrow
have to be 50 minimum for any expansion job
60 for shadowbringers
you need to buy a retainer certificate for job
and then not redeem it at 30 and wait until they're at 50 or 60
ornate gale
where do I get a retainer certificate?
slate arrow
a small sum of venture tokens from the vocate
ornate gale
do I only get the prompt from the vocate if my retainer is lvl 50?
slate arrow
I think you get the prompt once you get your first retainer to 30
obsidian patio
50 and above for samurai, yes
slate arrow
but that's only for the class to upgrade to the job
ornate gale
ok that was really weird because when my NIN was rank 50 I just didn't get any prompt or anything
ornate gale
wait i'm so confused
slate arrow
it's class > job > reset > class > job
slate arrow
now raise your retainer up to 50
ornate gale
then I can change to sam?
slate arrow
rogue
ornate gale
well rogue yeah
slate arrow
if you set him to nin you'll have to start over
zinc orbitBOT
inland scarab
btw, just found out that market tax r now always normal @ 2.0 main cities & only reduced for 3.0+... 🧐
So i guess i probably need to rethink employing em to 3.0+ cities... :?
inland scarab
It says reduced for ishgard/kugane/crystarium
slate arrow
now instead of customers paying extra that gil is taken out of the retainer's player's share
so it's for your own personal benefit instead
delicate stone
Are the beast tribe quests worth doing at all?
slate arrow
for exp and lore yes
delicate stone
They're good exp? I thought they were quests around level 40-50
inland scarab
U get very kewl finale joint tribe quest. 2.0’s kinda like ala power ranger style 😆
slate arrow
they scale to your level
slate arrow
I recommend the expansion ones, ARR Beast Tribes give a pitiful amount of EXP in comparison to just running dungeons
they're best saved for alt jobs
delicate stone
hmm, yeah I just started Heavensward, so I guess that means the beast tribe quests I have now are meh for lvling my alt Ast
slate arrow
oh also expansion jobs are only relevant for their level bracket
solid fog
as a healer you should have instant dungeon pops
inland scarab
Speaking of that... was wondering: can u do finale joint tribe quest in any order? Or hafta do in sequence?
delicate stone
Yeah, dungeon pops are pretty fast
solid fog
Im still waiting for yoshi to nerf arr beast tribes, so ican max them faster..... this is ridiculous
slate arrow
haha no
inland scarab
Story wouldn’t make sense tho, since it relates to certain shifty miqote male antagonist
delicate stone
Heh, guess I'll start doing em if I have time so I can start lvling them at least
solid fog
I swear even if you are doing the ARR beast tribe quests daily it will take you like what, a month or 2 to max them
slate arrow
back then you just burned all 12 on one tribe a day
inland scarab
It was ok back then
U just overwhelmed since joining this game late
There’s no tribe quest allowance back then. It was added quite late
delicate stone
Yeah there's a ton of content, which I'm not gonna complain about lol
inland scarab
lol
There’s still even tons of content for me, even tho I literally haven’t stop playing since 1.0. It all depends if one care to explore other venues in this game 😉
solid fog
Just thinking that i have to level up astro just for the sake of having everything max, i hate it
only job i hate is astro xD
inland scarab
I still kept wishing major patches delayed. At least this time my wish kinda came true even tho with having pandemic atm 😅
not rly good excuse sadly...
placid tide
is it feasible to maintain multiple classes? like lets say i want to switch between dragoon and dark knight a lot?
inland scarab
Depends
Can jack-of-all-trades, but job mastery r another thing
There is 5.0 achievement for capping all job to get that special 5.0 mount tho...
I personally at least only mains each for job role: tank>pld, heals>sch, dps>dnc/rdm
marble drift
For gearing in serious raid content it would be largely hampering
but if you're just doing random stuff in the game. sure. gear both classes
A lot of people tend to play classes within a subset
inland scarab
True. In my experience, can only do at least 2 jobs
marble drift
like ranged physical or tank
inland scarab
yea, same for me
marble drift
means gearing is easier and there are setups on the Balance for multi-job Best in Slot lists
most of them share a list. Tank's are a bit weird tho I've found
Warriors drop an entire stat that the other 3 tanks want and Paladins use a helm completely different to the rest
inland scarab
Luckily materia swapping r much easier these days, especially with things like 5.0 hunts which easily nets u with tons of freebie 7s/8s
leaden ginkgo
I basically plan on having one job for dps one for tanking and one for healing
But I am gonna main Tank
marble drift
Alot of people have a main class (or set of classes) and a bunch off off classes
atomic mango
do ultimate versions of songs exist as orchestrion rolls?
marble drift
like me.
marble drift
they're meant to be special man
plus if you wanted UWU's orchestion roll. Ruby Weapon's theme is largely similar
atomic mango
OH DUDE I GOTTA BUY THE ALBUM
inland scarab
Legacy ppl already super upset when they saw 1.0 nael earring made available during previous anniverasy event 😅
atomic mango
no i wanna afk in my house with the uwu music so i can relive my nightmares as i die to ultimate suppression
marble drift
everyones angry about everything.
like me. im still pissed about the valentine's day jacket being only for male characters. >:|
they gave dudes the bunny costume. give ladies the sweet jacket!
inland scarab
like those neverending jelly with special legacy subs price & tats? 😂
marble drift
nah if you supported this game at its worst
you should get perks. I didn't so. whatever
inland scarab
we all already learn our lessons on what happened if perks became free-4-all... 😅
marble drift
I do largely disagree with the SDS Fenrir being faster by default than other mounts
but look if im whining about a minor mountspeed increase and the fact that I can't wear a jacket on my character
the game's pretty good
if im literally grasping at straws
inland scarab
I don’t buy it tho, mainly coz i got this bonus heavy figure from that FF7AC special edition pack 😅
marble drift
Im tempted to grab it.
inland scarab
Plus i already got all mount boost, so... eh...
marble drift
mainly because it plays Crazy Motorcycle as its theme
inland scarab
Have utube for that. lawl
Expect things go hype when we later get flying mode @ 2.0 zones in upcoming 5.3 tho 😆
back to QnA: any could confirm if phase 2 doh/dol achievements would end right when 5.3 release, or right after next update on ishgard renov?
lofty pulsar
can't do aurum vale for tomes when undersized correct?
lofty pulsar
👍
agile laurel
even just a couple of blu's speeds it up no end
pale cairn
does anyone know why the downloader speed drops from nowhere?
inland scarab
for patching?
pale cairn
yea
inland scarab
It sux. deal with it. lol
inland scarab
imo 1.0 deals better with patching
pale cairn
I put the game on my ssd and didn't recognized the previous patches, had to download from scratch
will try
inland scarab
ooo... ur game data might get corrupted. Best to always backup em on ext hdd
I always did since playing across multi pc
pale cairn
still on terrible speed
zinc orbitBOT
inland scarab
Also recently happening to me: my macro setup went all blank one day. File still there, but i suspect it get corrupted even tho game on ssd. Lucky i back it up, tho i lost my recent macros.
pale cairn
I'm not into that yet
inland scarab
Still hoping someone could check my macro file if there’s possibility to restore em... 🧐
pale cairn
still new to the game
inland scarab
I c
pale cairn
but I would like a macro for melee classes combo, wasting 3 hotkeys for that and on pvp it's only one key
inland scarab
Just frequently back em up, especially after large patching
I skipped backup if only minor patching tho, like under 100 mbs
warped nest
PvP allows those kind of button because you don't do a lot of weaving
In PvE, the gameplay complexity and nuance comes from weaving Ability
inland scarab
weaving might still a bit advanced for noobs tho
warped nest
The dev can make your PvE actions do that PvP combo thing, but it is just their decision to not do that
It is not an advanced skill
Advanced skill is like slide cast or double weave
Weaving Ability is just press a button when your weaponskill is on cooldown
inland scarab
imo basic weave still counts, but... each 2 their own
warped nest
Even if it is advanced skill, the game introduce abilities very early on
inland scarab
yea, tho i don’t recall official explanation about weaving 🧐
It’s basic only coz it’s kinda general knowledge with other games as well
warped nest
Officially there is no optimal rotation either
Nor there is any official statement on buff alignment
Anyhow, not appropriate to talk about in #questions-and-help
warped nest
Read above your message
I was responding to Ryong comment on PvP combo button on PvE gameplay
wet cradle
Do I need big luck to get a housing plot or how does that work now?
slate arrow
mostly luck
wet cradle
Mostly? What else is it?
wet cradle
Hmm I see
whole wasp
Maybe an iron bladder too
wet cradle
The only thing I really hate is this implementation...it was a lot better before this
whole wasp
Heard so many stories of 5 minute pee break lose the plot.
wet cradle
Wtf
whole wasp
Yea. Non stop click for 13 hours. Go take a piss, come back, plot is sold. 
wet cradle
Rip wasted time
vocal star
which rank in anata is for the griffin mount?
warped nest
Very high
Elephant and Griffin are on the last 2 ranks (ignoring the rank you get from SB combined beast tribe quest line)
I forgot which is which
kindred nimbus
Hey, where do I get gear for botanist lvl 50+
obsidian wren
you can exchange gatherer scrips in mor dhona
in the tent next to the one where you spend your poetics
inland scarab
imo best to get to lvl 51 to get cheap lvling doh/dol crafted gears
wintry chasm
A currency you get as a crafter and gatherer at later levels
inland scarab
btw, play on laptop, can pee while crazy que on plots. 😂
wintry chasm
Think of it as....tomestones but for them?
kindred nimbus
oh?
wintry chasm
You can buy materials, equipment, mastercraft books/folklore books that unlock additional recipes and gathering nodes
etc
tidal ledge
if you hand in stuff from a gatherer you in turn get gatherer scrips/tokens. same with the other discipline.
if you have Idyllshire unlocked, you can do Zhloe weekly 6 deliveries for some chunks of scrips too.
kindred nimbus
So if I got this right, I hand in collectables and in return I will get scrips in which is the currency for the mats and gear?
tidal ledge
yup
zinc orbitBOT
inland scarab
If can progress fast with 4.0 msq, can unlock 2nd custom delivery, & probably best since u get weekly delivery allowances of 12
wintry chasm
There are also Ishgard scrips but those are for a very specific piece of content just FYI Jimin
kindred nimbus
I am standing in front of scrip exchange but she doesnt let me to see how many scrip requires for this and for that. Only that she wants me to have red scrips
inland scarab
Atm there’s 5 custom delivery npc up to 5.0
kindred nimbus
There are also Ishgard scrips but those are for a very specific piece of content just FYI Jimin
@wintry chasm Oh ok thanks! 🙂
ember briar
does unlocking more custom delivery npcs increase the allowance beyond 12?/
ember briar
is there a reason to unlock them?
wintry chasm
Extremely good xp and scrip source
inland scarab
scrips r ur way to get cheap but expensive doh/dol materias, for one
quick goblet
how do people find free companys to join?
ember briar
I mean, beyond the initial two npcs, if you are maxxing 12 deliveries a week
