All of the ranged physical are "support" classes, so you're not entirely off. They do DPS, but they also provide powerful buffs to the group.
tulip plover
Ah ok
woeful nacelle
This might be a dumb question but is there an ilvl cap on the level 80 dungeon roulette
simple shore
Okay, they're intended to be. When SE doesnt get confused and shit the bed.
obsidian patio
Yes nova
woeful nacelle
So it gets capped where as the expert roulette doesn't?
obsidian patio
Expert still caps you if you get the grand cosmos
minor crypt
Have any of you had an issue with the steam version where the main menu doesn't load and it's just the shadobringers background?
woeful nacelle
Do you know the cap for level 80 dungeon by chance?
twilit arch
grand cosmos syncs to i470
obsidian patio
I think Amaurot syncs at 450 or something?
obsidian patio
I can’t check myself since I’m not home
twilit arch
440 for amaurot
woeful nacelle
well it says 440 average item level if that's what it means
twilit arch
yes
twilit arch
well no, i should correct myself
average item lvl is going to be the minimum ilvl to enter
there should be an "item level sync: x"
that indicates what an instance, if it has an ilvl sync, will sync to
woeful nacelle
I guess when I eneter it I can check to see what the syned ilvl is
crimson wind
Should i meld determination?

How does the beast meter and combos work i understand that u usw combos to fill it but do you get a damage buff to moves that use it when it fill completley

slate arrow
this is your main beast gauge spender
gloomy ice
No bonus damage. It just lets you use the skill.
slate arrow
tl;dr WAR game plan is
Maintain Storm's Eye buff, don't overcap on Beast Gauge, don't overcap on cooldowns
tulip plover
Ok cuz when i used inner beast sometimes it did more damage
slate arrow
That's just FFXIV damage calculations
gloomy ice
It does if you have Storm's Eye active
tulip plover
Well all ichave is storms path
gloomy ice
Oh and that too. Damage calculations are a little funky sometimes.
tulip plover
I just got inner beast from job quest
slate arrow
for example, if a skill deals 1000 damage by default, there's a small standard devation a skill can do
anywhere from 90% to 110% of the damage you'd normally do
tulip plover
Ah ok
slate arrow
before crits and direct hits
tulip plover
I thought if i got the bar to 100 i did bonus damage
tulip plover
So keep it below 100?
gloomy ice
It's advised to dump some meter if you get near or at 100, yeah.
tulip plover
What happens if you overcap or get to 100
gloomy ice
Free damage left on the table that you can't access anymore.
tulip plover
So its like great sword in monster hunter theres a sweet spot?
slate arrow
no

slate arrow
don't overcap on gauge
tulip plover
?
slate arrow
no
slate arrow
you can let it get to 100 but don't attempt another heavy swing combo without burning some beast guage off
tulip plover
Ohhhh i get it so instead of starting the combo again just burn meter combo and fill it in?
With another combo
faint flare
Your gauge is basically a resource, you want to pool some for burst phases but you dont want to generate more you can hold
tulip plover
Well i mean the heavy swing maim combo
little swift
your gauge management basically comes about burning 50-70 gauge at once
tulip plover
Ah so its like a cup of soda before you leave the mcdonalds you drink some in line and fill it when you get your food and leave

slate arrow
just read this since it should cover the basics of warrior
even if you're only level 35 you can still apply 90% of it to your leveling experience

Your gauge spenders don't break your combos btw so you can slip one in if you're going to overcap.

Hey, I have a question about the best Raid Finder settings to find a group for Memoria Misera. I have completed the trial once before, and kind of have the basics down. But, when a lot of stuff is happening I still have a tendency to be sloppy, so it is still very probable I'll die at least once. Would "Duty Complete", "Practice", and "Final Phase" being checked be the ideal settings?
First time using raid finder, want to make sure I'm not screwing up someone's farm party and having them all flame me for it lol
slate arrow
don't use raid finder use party finder
almost nobody uses duty/raid finder for extremes or savages or ultimates
trail bramble
how do i get nezha togi leather top?
gloomy ice
Mogstation. It's a cash shop piece that only comes with the full set.
trail bramble
OHHH
cinder patio
@slate arrow oof, kk. I was just hoping it would be a bit faster, as other then 1 really patient group (where it seemed a few experienced players were teaching their friends), so far it seems to take about an hour to find a group only for the group to give up after a couple wipes. So it's making it hard to actually gain experience and improve. Oh well, just how it is I suppose. Thanks for the help

is there a site or a way to know how many people are playing on a server/data centre?
gloomy ice
There isn't really any accurate way to see that kind of data, much less in real time. There are some sites that can estimate but the numbers would be guesses at best and usually outdated.
cinder patio
Oh, how do people save raid markers btw? Like the clock markers for Memoria Miseria, seems people have something saved to quickly make it
hoary storm
On pc to open it when inside the duty its alt+m I think or /wmark or /waymark
gloomy ice
In the waymark window thing, there should be an arrow to expand the window. There, you can save and load presets.
hoary storm
Then you can copy or make your own

Hello Guys. Need an advice. Been stuck in everything for a few days now.
Queue forever for Duty Finder missions.
It's very frustrating espc if it's an 8 man raid only for a single 1 to fail commence or when someone withdraw.
remote lintel
are you a dps
stuck yew
yes.
stuck yew
stuck since it doesn't start in the first place.
twilit arch
Tatsuhisa Suzuki is his JP VA
stuck yew
minstrel ballad, whorleater hard, battle on big bridge, relic reborn chimera, labyrinth of ancient, dzemael darkhold to name a few
stuck yew
whorleater is story. can't go to other areas without finishing this
twilit arch
minstrel's ballad, battle on big bridge, chimera, are all going to take a bit regardless
two of those are basically hoping for roulette people who have those unlocked
remote lintel
whorleater shouldn't be like a 2 hour long queue
twilit arch
and the third is extreme which you're hoping for mentor roulette
hoary storm
The rest are very common in roulette and should pop quick unless ure queueing in off hours
stuck yew
what's mentor routelette?
twilit arch
a roulette you gain access to when you become a battle mentor.
stuck yew
let me see. it's i think 8 hrs now on queue. nothing starts. commence pops up twice but never started
twilit arch
one that is honestly not very active since it has chance of getting extremes
stuck yew
i want to be able to proceed with the story at least.
remote lintel
I find it hard to believe you're getting an 8 hr queue on whorleater hard
proven bay
This is why I got a tank as a secondary
stuck yew
well~ it jsut did. it's a sad life.
stuck yew
i got tank. but most people expects tank to know where to go.
remote lintel
because they're the tank
stuck yew
exactly why i don't play it anymore
hoary storm
Try to queue for only the ones that were not mentioned like chimera, minstrel and big bridge
remote lintel
watch a video guide or say it's your first time
stuck yew
does queueing maximum of 5 lowers chance of it commencing?
chilly birch
Wait is this true?
remote lintel
yes
zinc orbitBOT
stuck yew
really? when i started 2 week ago. it still says a month trial
stuck yew
ye i did pay once i reached lv35. and boy that was a hassle to pay for.
hoary storm
ohh there was something in DF that if you selected certain languages it could make queue times bad right?
Not sure if this applies to Schiwata
stuck yew
it keeps failing. so i just asked a friend to pay for me then i pay him instead. i just keep getting error.
gloomy ice
@stuck yew But, yes. Queueing for everything at once will definitely slow down your queue times. Go for Whorleater Hard by itself.
stuck yew
i only select english. but almost always gets multiple other language when duty starts
twilit arch
you should change your duty finder language settings to have J then as well
Especially if you're on JP servers
hoary storm
that could be why youre having such bad times
stuck yew
actually. how you know im on JP server? I'm ion typhon.
duty is all servers right?
twilit arch
because you have the japan role selected
remote lintel
duty finer is one data center
stuck yew
i dont remember selecting that. but oh well.
twilit arch
and while duty finder pulls from all servers within a datacenter, if you only have E selected its going to try and match you with people who have E language enabled
so considering you're on a JP datacenter, its not going to be that many people
you're basically shooting yourself in the foot if E is the only language selected for the duty finder while on JP
stuck yew
i see. thats a big help. thanks.

How long do cratum+praetorium take? (Trying to figure out how much time to carve out for this endgame)

strange coral
3 hours is not normal for that

I queue everyday for prae as dps and it takes only around 10-15 mins

The 30-40 minute completion estimation is because both have unskippable cutscenes.

If you know someone in the FC, send them a tell. If you know where they have an FC house, go visit the house and read the plaque.

If you can find the FC, sure. Like, if you see someone running around, you can right-click them and "View Company Profile" andd apply that way
(Assuming they're accepting applications)

Why is it offering this, and what do I use them for? I'm only just starting heavensward, and havent seen this before

well those are for getting gear at the end of shadowbringers
so I'm assuming you level skipped
the blue and red brick is for gear below 80
the red and blue circles are for lvl 80

And then the stuff for the in need bonus are stellaclusters/planiclusters which you can trade for high level materia

hot crane
Is SE aware that players are selling houses?
small vault
I see, but why is it offering all them to me now? Normally it just offers poetics tomestones and materia clusters. I don't think it could be because the class is in demand, because I queued for it and it still gave me a 15 minute estimate
gloomy ice
@hot crane Yes. That's why individual land purchases are blocked by a randomized invisible timer.
remote lintel
@small vault because youre 80
small vault
Ah
vagrant copper
The top line is the daily roulette bonus

@small vault also I would recommend changing class so you don't waste the entire msq line exp

You also need to get to HW

Oh online it says 50 but if it's 30 that's great

you can unlock it at 50/HW
twilit arch
it requires you to be lvl 50, and have entered ishgard to unlock
polar hound
it starts at 30

you start at 30

You need to be level 50 to get the class. But the class starts at level 30.

it starts at lvl 30

Though the HW requirement is basically the tougher one

@olive sequoia As I said to somone a little bit before you, there is no right or wrong, just play at your own pace, just try not to juggle too many jobs at once otherwise you might burn yourself out
worldly otter
you get exp boosts for other lower level combat classes after you reach 50/60/70 in once DoW/DoM class
vagrant copper
Oh, if you're talking about crafters/gatherers... eh, I wouldn't try to level them up at the same time as doing MSQ/main job stuff. Crafters take a lot of time and gil for not much benefit at low levels

i should levle others before i reach level 70 on 1 job?

if you want to

losing the road to 70 bonus would suck

after HW*

@remote lintel your pms are disabled

if you're a crafter you might consider getting a house for gardening, since there are materials that can't be found in the wild
remote lintel
mine aren't disabled, might be yours
olive sequoia
whats the difference between houses, personal rooms, and apartments?
remote lintel
houses are the whole house, personal rooms are 1 room, apartments come with stuff like a chocobo stable
and are also 1 room
olive sequoia
I mean I can tell the size difference
I was asking about stuff like whatever the chocobo stable is
remote lintel
it's for training and coloring your chocobo

apartments and personal rooms only allow 2 planting pots for gardening, housing allows you to get plots where you can plant up to 8 plants

stuck yew
at last. leviathan done. damn queue
anyone using arcanist/summoner/scholar?
how's the learning curve? im interested since they share levels and equip. easier for queue?
olive sequoia
im level 42 on my arcanist, ive never tried scholar but so far its fun
not really that hard
remote lintel
really
I find scholar stressful
lmao
also @stuck yew summoner has a complicated rotation
olive sequoia
when does it get complicated
vagrant copper
The most difficult thing about scholar, until you hit like 60+, is learning when you can leave to stuff to your fairy and when you have to actively heal
At times, it's bad enough to where I have to actively remind myself that I'm a healer
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
scholar lets you only use 3 instant heals in a minute
technically more if you get to lvl 60 but then your fairy is gone
vagrant copper
There's also less overlap between the gear than you'd think given they share a base class. None of my SCH gear right now works for SMN
hoary storm
Remember SCH still have Whispering Dawn and Fey Illumination
Heals for quite a bit over time
After 50 they don't share gear anymore
remote lintel
fey illumination doesn't heal
hoary storm
But it boosts heal
indigo orbit
So no Lustrate, Excog, Indom, etc.
hoary storm
Only Adlo, Succor and Embrace are spells iirc
indigo orbit
And you generally try to use those (minus Embrace) as little as possible
hoary storm
mhm
Still boosts the fairy a little so might as well use
and since its an oGCD theres no downside
stuck yew
sorry i did create a conjurer. but i dunno what gcd is. or ogcd.
thats why guides does me nothing
remote lintel
gcd = global cooldown which are your abilities labeled "spell"
ocgd = off global cooldown which are your abilities labeled "ability"
hoary storm
GCD is basically what you spam all the time when attacking
oGCD is those longer times skills that you use in between the GCD
remote lintel
they're usually instant cast
I actually don't think there's an ogcd that isn't an insta
so you use them to weave between your gcds
stuck yew
ah i see. in DPS case. the buffs and extra effect skills.
stuck yew
buffs are labled ability.
attacks with extra effects are also ability.
then the normal attacks that CDs all at the same time
remote lintel
not for all classes
stuck yew
i see
remote lintel
red mage has fleche and contre sixte which are both ogcd and do nothing but attack
olive sequoia
is there a way to turn off the annoying whistle to mount ur chocobo
hoary storm
Dont think so
median inlet
How do I attack with my chocobo? haha
whole wasp
nope. unless you use a different mount.
other mounts have other mount whistle sounds.
you have to do a sidequest to get your chocobo as a companion. you then summon them as companion in the companion menu
i think its character -> companion. then use a grysahl green to summon them
for 30 minutes
stuck yew
once you kill ultima weapon. you get another free mount.
if you get married, i think there's a mount too

does the gathering attribute affect the amount you get from killing mobs?
little swift
can I powerlevel DoL to 80 in Diadem
@worldly otter yes you can, starting at lvl 10 iirc
@fervent silo are you talking about the gathering stat? that's for gatherer classes
fervent silo
yeah so if i wear gathering gear and kill a mob would i get more fro what it drops or no?
obsidian patio
No.
Gathering as a stat is for raising the success rate of obtaining an item from a gathering node.
As for Perception, that’s for raising the chance of a gathered item being high-quality.
little swift
gathering classes were not designed to kill mobs
junior tundra
if the quest says it will be synced for your level like the naming of vath
what does that mean
tulip prism
Anyone have a idea how I can level my other DoW/M classes from 70 to 80?
I heard HoH was one way
hoary storm
Roulettes, highest lvl dungeon, FATEs while waiting, pixie beast tribes quests
little swift
pixie beast tribe, daily hunt marks, FATEs, Trusts, Dungeon spam,
roulettes
HoH will be ok up until 71 if you really want to
but once you hit 71 holtminster becomes available to you
tulip prism
I seeeee
Another question I keep hearing people talking about using facet crafting gear but srent we going to eventually get augmentated white scripts gear?
So is it better to stay with the 460 set or go right to the facet gear and wait for the augmentations instead?
obsidian patio
Hard to say, we never got the all-class scrip gear this early.
But either way, if it does get an upgrade I don't expect it until 5.4 or 5.5
as 5.3 will likely have the last set of crafted omniclass gear for the crafters/gatherers.

well ye but at 52 i only generate 20kenki max
little swift
20 ticks of 40 potency is 800
hybrid owl
per full combo
obsidian patio
yeah kenki generation is a bit jank before 62
but in terms of total potency using it on Higanbana is better than midare
hybrid owl
wait so higanbana over midare?
obsidian patio
when you need to refresh it, yes.
hybrid owl
opening?
little swift
you only need to apply it once a minute
obsidian patio
first higanbana will be unbuffed due to the low kenki generation before 62.
hybrid owl
so when shld i reapply higanbane around 5seconds left?
obsidian patio
yep
little swift
as close as you can to exactly 1 minute but around 5seconds is decent
hybrid owl
aight thanks
hoary storm
Full combo before 62 gets you 20 kenki no?
hybrid owl
yes
little swift
its 5 + 5+ 10
hoary storm
If you hit positionals ofc
little swift
so your first higanbanana is unbuffed sadly
hybrid owl
1 kaiten per midare
hoary storm
Yeah after 62 you dont have to worry to much about it, you'll be using kaiten on every iaijutsu as long as you dont mismanage it
obsidian patio
yeah difference between pre-62 and post-62 is night and day
and you get even more kenki with this skill at 68

Does gathering stats from other craft equips do the same for others

The best comes from Scrip Vendor

Ok and one more minor is gathering and perception right?
vagrant copper
Yes
tulip plover
Ok sry i lied
I know i prob asked this but what is the bwst gathering/crafting class to lvl first
vagrant copper
I'd say it's a toss up between miner and botanist? Fisher doesn't really help that much at low levels (or ever?) Doing one of the gatherers will also be cheaper than doing a crafter
vagrant copper

vagrant copper
A little but cooking is also not that helpful at low levels

And passive health restoration from other tanks isn't really that much

from what I heard gunbreaker is the weakest defensively but it's still a perfectly viable tank

oak ice
They don't have access to brutal shell in AoE situations, but that's pretty much it
fresh lodge
People overestimate the heal on tank's combos, its good but it won't save you when you really need it
All the tanks have a good selection of defensive cds
mild tide
If a tank dies its common courtesy to blame the healers right?
be it or not his own fault*
Also is the only way to level up an acc just questing?
forest laurel
if the tank does use their CDs properly then it most likely is the healer's fault
fresh lodge
Not necessarily
.
fresh lodge
Bad gear is a big killer for tanks
forest laurel
that too
fresh lodge
And yeah if DPS is low then both tanks and healers will run out of CDs
forest laurel
can't expect every healer to heal you through fuckin Doma Castle while you're still on Shire gear
"I level up faster than I get gear" bro just go do Bardam then
mild tide
so level only matters if you have the corresponding gear to go along with it
otherwise being 20 with lvl 20 gear and 30 with 20 gear is almost the same
fresh lodge
No because levelling up provides increased base stats and abilities

Anima is perhaps the easiest of the three previous, if you’re going from the beginning. It requires a ton of poetics but it’s all relatively easy.

Give or take. A few days if you really get in to it.

@dry ocean Neo-Ishgardian is the current set of crafted combat gear. Decent for getting into savage but quickly replaced once you get gear from savage and weekly tomes.

if you get antiquated armor in dungeons how do you restore it
gritty oracle
When leveling as dps via dungeons, should I go for highest level dungeon, or highest five dungeons?
forest laurel
highest level dungeon that isn't 50/60/70
gloomy ice
Antique armor pieces? Those are turned in to a vendor in Mor Dhona. Gives you the stuff you get from your 50 job quest.
Antiquated relic armor, however, has differing methods for each set. 60 requires an upgrade token bought with hunt seals or coins from Void Ark. 70 is upgraded in Eureka Anemos. 80 isn’t upgraded directly, instead coming as drops from one of the current Extremes.
mossy parrot
I mean, <80 you can just buy everything relevant with poetics

although if you're a tank or healer, you want to replace your geat at around x5

@wintry chasm Thanks 🙂 Does it make a difference which job I select in character creation?

a good rule of thumb is to stick with your favourite job until HW expansion and even more if you can manage it, cuz levelling alts can get tedious even if it's on the same char. Quiet a few people drop off before they even reach the first expansion due to this

Since level 80 relics are only on their first step at the moment, there are no additional looks for these weapons. These first steps are all we've got at present. We're uncertain if their appearance will change with the next step as this one seems to have bucked several previous trends.

Miner is a disciple of the land, commonly known as a gathering class, and Goldsmith is a disciple of the hand, commonly referred to as a crafting class
Your miner gets you ores which you use to make jewelry with the goldsmith
