kindred nimbus
Hahah but does that makes it one of the most difficult class to play>?
remote lintel
the rotation isn't what makes it difficult
agile laurel
fight knowledge avails you much more on black mage
cause you need to be moving as little as possible
kindred nimbus
oh ok I see
forest laurel
BLM isn't that hard to play but it does rely on fight knowledge like Emu said
warped nest
are the white scrip nodes only available after buying the 4k yellow scrip books?
@nova umbra yes, the norvandt folklore has the lvl 80 legendary node
forest laurel
it just has a dynamic rotation that changes every few levels
remote lintel
black mage requires attacking to keep up its combos
and attacking requires not moving
woven night
Is selling an fc against any tos, a friend of mine quit the game recently and gave me his fc with a large house in mist but idk what to do with it and im not confident in leading an fc
remote lintel
so you have like 15 seconds to get off an attack or switch your status
agile laurel
and yeah, black mage is also weird for its rotation changing hard depending on the level bracket
which obviously doesn't matter when played at max level, but
forest laurel
BLM DOES have options for movement tho, like Triplecast, Fire 3/Thunder procs, Xenoglossy, Swiftcast, etc.
remote lintel
@woven night any in game transactions for real money is against tos
woven night
I meant selling for gil
agile laurel
basically what black mage wants is to do its rotation in peace
remote lintel
then no
agile laurel
it does not want to be disturbed
tulip plover
Do anyone of you do sidequests?
agile laurel
i mean you can if you want
forest laurel
ye
kindred nimbus
basically what black mage wants is to do its rotation in peace
@agile laurel And that never happens right? xD
forest laurel
do em if you want, but they're kinda shit xp
agile laurel
only 
are really worth doing if you're not bothered about sidequests
remote lintel
i did up to a point
tulip plover
How much exp do battle leves give
agile laurel
@kindred nimbus hence fight knowledge being important, you gotta know where you can be so you don't have to move as much
remote lintel
not a lot
vagrant copper
I do ones that have rewards. I'm sure I'll do the others at some point. But plenty of stuff to do right now
steel wedge
Ok it’s driving me nuts what is this thing called? Does it have a wiki page?
forest laurel
battle leves are worthless
remote lintel
it's just a thing to show your crystals
tulip plover
I used to do them but now i just buy my equipment and i just end up choosing gold
gloomy ice
Yeah the symbol itself doesn’t really have a meaning. It’s mostly just arcane nonsense to make the crystals look cooler.
remote lintel
the msq equipment is better than vendor equipment @tulip plover
steel wedge
Right but so generic unfortunately they have to have an actual wiki page because they are critical to the story yeah? @remote lintel
warped nest
@steel wedge try asking in #archived-lore-spoilers maybe someone there knows the official name
kindred nimbus
@kindred nimbus hence fight knowledge being important, you gotta know where you can be so you don't have to move as much
@agile laurel Ah thanks! It make sense 🙂
steel wedge
K ty
twilit arch
its basically a visual representation of the blessing of light
forest laurel
yeah like when you're doing dungeon bosses, you figure out where to position yourself for maximum uptime
steel wedge
Blessing of light... I get that it’s not a real thing I’m just trying to refresh my memory on the plot so I’m trying to find the wiki page for it
remote lintel
youre better off looking at the crystals then
twilit arch
there's arr/hw summaries pinned in #archived-lore-spoilers
if you want a refresher for those
vagrant copper
There's also the book in the inn
agile laurel
what'd you reckon is most efficient farming of yellow scrip for btn?
cause i'm pretty sure i can do better than russet popotoes
twilit arch
what lvl
twilit arch
then you should be farming timed nodes
agile laurel
...really? surely that's not the most time-efficient source?
twilit arch
for yellow scrips as a botanist it is
wintry sable
How can i know how many days are remaining for my sub?
faint flare
You can bounce between each timed node
twilit arch
assuming you've already done your custom deliveries for the week
faint flare
Mogstation
wintry sable
Where?
faint flare
It says with your account info
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
vagrant copper
If you have a current, recurring subscription, it might not tell you how many days you have left
vagrant copper
🤷♂️
tulip plover
So when does the difficult content start
vagrant copper
If you try to cancel your subscription, it'll thell you @wintry sable Just don't confirm it
remote lintel
50
faint flare
There's some at each old level cap.(50, 60,70, 80) but most unsync the old ones cause its easier and mechs make people brain hurt
faint flare
NOT servicr account
tulip plover
So farm savage at 50 until i get everything then move on?
vagrant copper
If you want to actually cancel something, cancel the subscription
wintry sable
Found it. Thanks (:
faint flare
Well 50 savage is binding coil
But for gear you just buy ironworks
With poetics
And you're good
wintry sable
Damn why they have cancel account besides there?
faint flare
Its A raid.series
The Binding coils of Bahamut
It wraps up and ties up lose ends for 1.0 with Nael and stuff
tulip plover
And the poteic armor carries you till lvl 60?
tulip plover
Ok
faint flare
But with how much quest there is better arr and heavensward, it lasts awhile
nova umbra
what am I doing wrong at the white scrip nodes? I'm doing Discerning Eye > Impulsive Appraisal > Discerning Eye > Impulsive Appraisal > Discerning Eye > Methodical Appraisal and I only got like 314 points
faint flare
You need more perception
lilac mulch
do i buy 60 gear with poetic tomestones?
faint flare
Yes
lilac mulch
same npc as ironwear gear?
lilac mulch
ty 😄
nova umbra
what is the minimum perception for the white scrip nodes?
vagrant copper
Can someone give me a hint on where to go next climbing this thing?
vagrant copper
Directly behind or behind and to the left?
faint flare
Brhind and left
vagrant copper
ugh. I was afraid of that
faint flare
Then you jump across to the other ledge
nova umbra
try jumping to this corner
faint flare
Its not to bad
nova umbra
yeah it's pretty easy
nova umbra
there's a jump coming up that's pretty high up
and I had to use sprint to be able to get to it
never could do it without sprint lol
vagrant copper
Oh and like the jump after that one is into open air where there's no safety net. Fun. -_-
Really making you work for it lol
vagrant copper
I'm probably just logging out there and never moving again
lilac mulch
what is the stat priority order for warriors
faint flare
Comfy sks (2.38-2.4s gcd) > Crit > det > everything else
lilac mulch
also my screen went this how do i get back my bars
deft quiver
is there an faq thing for squadrons?
remote lintel
you on mouse and keyboard?
remote lintel
scroll lock
lilac mulch
where do i see my gcd?
remote lintel
need more sks
remote lintel
minor stats aren't important until 80
lilac mulch
how do i get rowenas token scripture?
faint flare
Buy it from the 2nd girl in the middle, the one who sells armour
faint flare
The process is the same as ironworks
lilac mulch
is there a reverse process if you buy lore tokens and exchange them back for poetic
faint flare
No
lime geode
Am i supposed to do something special @ lvl 30 or just the normal class quest?
dense pier
If I do PvE vermillion, what minions should I try and get to use to make easy wins for challenge log?
vagrant copper
@lime geode If you keep doing the quests available, they'll lead you to the job quests
lime geode
the main quests?
vagrant copper
The only "special" thing is equipping the soul stone when you get it
I mean the class quests
lime geode
gotcha
faint flare
Drag them back ontop of the general chat one
The one with the speexh bubble
Drag and drop the grey chat bit ontop of the general chat one
remote lintel
can you miss a rescue
faint flare
If the target isnt in combat or if they have anti knockback rescue can fail
leaden ginkgo
I...am in ps4 and it’s so complicated with the touch pad
faint flare
You can enable virtual mouse by pressing start then using L3+ something
There's a small bit somewhere on the start screen saying "press L3 and this to enable the virtual mouse"
To make it easier
obsidian patio
agile laurel
rescue can also practically fail for strange reasons I assume are p2p related meaning it goes off about 2 seconds after you need it
but different context
remote lintel
that too
leaden ginkgo
Thanks Vinyl and Wynne 😊😊😊 fixed it
steel wedge
Where is the black mage trainer?
agile laurel
depends on your level?
steel wedge
I’m a little confused because apparently I can learn some new spells but it help doesn’t let me learn them yet even though I’m level 55 and I have some 50 and Below spells I want to learn
remote lintel
did you do your class quests
agile laurel
i mean, if you're a black mage already it's just the same as doing class quests
except probably not at the guild so fair point
twilit arch
If you're still working on the post ARR quests (meaning you haven't entered ishgard), you can't do the lvl 50-60 job quests
agile laurel
Oh that is true
twilit arch
You will just need to continue working on the msq until you get to heavensward
steel wedge
It says I need to do before the dawn first in the MSQ so that’s why I’m confused.... but that’s like 2.5? So how not above 52? By then
agile laurel
MSQ overlevels people horrifically
steel wedge
Ohhhh ok so before HW there was no new spells/lvl cap so that’s why... ok
vagrant copper
You might pick up some here and there but, yeah, generally nothing until HW
steel wedge
Thanks I was confused
solemn delta
Do ninja have a dash that I've missed or only that move you have to place the marker where you wanna go
faint flare
Only Shukichi
raw solstice
if you want, you can macro shukuchi to dash you to the center of whatever you're targetting with <t>. Though you'd still want a regular version in case you don't actually want to move to that spot specifically
solemn delta
Yeah I'm really enjoying NIN so far only problem was that move is a pain on controller
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
I use the macro to move
vagrant copper
Are you asking about hotbar stuff or the normal way of equipping crystals?
spare plinth
hotbar
remote lintel
it's a macro
grim adder
oh it is? o-o
vagrant copper
#protips-and-ui should have a guide pinned to it to give you a general idea
remote lintel
I'm fairly certain
they put a macro for a gear set and change the icon to the crystal
vagrant copper
I use macros so it can also change my HUD layout, sort some stuff, and whatever else I might want to happen
And custom icons
grim adder
oo ok
vagrant copper
Though I guess the #protips-and-ui thing is more about creating pop-out menus than switching classes....
Though it's handy for switching classes as I have a DoW menu, a DoM menu, a DoL menu, etc
solemn delta
Yeah I definitely need a macro for that move
It's far too slow to use on controller
I'll have a Google and make one
Thanks
remote lintel
/ac shukuchi <t>
/ac shukuchi
solemn delta
Simple as that? I'll give it a go first macro ever on FFXIV lol
remote lintel
I'm pretty sure that's all mine is
raw solstice
it's that yeah, though
remote lintel
maybe a few more spams of it
raw solstice
you should put /merror off at the top
remote lintel
to get it thru
remote lintel
yep
warped nest
/merror off
/ac Shukuchi <t>
/ac Shukuchi <t>
...
/ac Shukuchi
/ac Shukuchi
/micon Shukuchi
I'd just have two shukuchi
leaden ginkgo
whats the xp boost for having a mentor
raw solstice
one that's macroed to <t> and one separate one that you choose where you go
warped nest
Not a thing
raw solstice
it is a thing
solemn delta
What's the. ... For?
faint flare
For like 20 and under
warped nest
Repeat
faint flare
And only overworld
raw solstice
the ... is just saying "repeat the <t> line"
solemn delta
Got ya!
remote lintel
@solemn delta you repeat the command for a few lines bc sometimes macros are retarded
and won't go thru
warped nest
It is just a timing thing
remote lintel
yeah
solemn delta
Yeah but in the end it's faster because of the move
warped nest
So get it through effectively in combat via a macro, you need to force it through by multiple lines of the same command
raw solstice
mmm "faster" is a bit debatable. But up to the individual, really
if you can make use of it more effectively via macro then macro is a solid option to have
grim adder
oo does anyone have a macro for earthly star because I still have to click twice to place it?
raw solstice
same thing
spare plinth
eh im confused
raw solstice
/ac "Earthly Star" <t>
/merror off at the top, /micon at the bottom, repeat the /ac line as many times as possible
it'll center the ES at the center of whatever you have targetted
again, would recommend a separate slot for a non-macroed version for manual placement
remote lintel
or have one /ac "earthly star"
warped nest
That would be you need to click off your target
raw solstice
that "works" but sometimes it kinda doesn't and at that point you might as well just have a non-macroed version so you don't have to deal with macro jank on top of manual placement
warped nest
If you wanna do manual
If you have the space on your hotbar, might as well do 2 version
spare plinth
oh i figured it out
remote lintel
yes
solemn delta
Cool cool ill try it in potd
spare plinth
you have to make a set to add the job to the hotbar
remote lintel
you can try it with a striking dummy
solemn delta
Just worked perfect on an npc lol
Around potd bit lol
That helps a lot thanks
Not too far off every class to 70/80 now. How do you think is the best way to find a static? Maybe even just create one yourself?
Once I'm done leveling I wanna raid savage
Or better pugging and joining one that's already progressed a bit
raw solstice
I'd mostly PF a bit, get some experience, network a bit among other raiders that might need someone for their group (now or in the future) or someone that might be interested in one that you'd create. Consider looking for some recruitment posts in PF/in various recruitment channels/discord servers
solemn delta
Yeah. Only issue is I'm SAM and people tend to not want us lol
remote lintel
get more classes to 80
solemn delta
I guess it's because if it's not played properly it's a hinderence and gives no raid buffs
remote lintel
and a lot of people play sam and you can't have 2 of them
solemn delta
True
I have about 8 80s atm and enjoy tanking
Just hope they make 490 farm able next patch
remote lintel
it should
raw solstice
SAM is actually in quite a good spot right now
faint flare
The eden tokens should be unlocked, except the blade
solemn delta
SAM are top dps with SMN and BLM according to logs
But Vinyl isn't that to upgrade it?
faint flare
No
solemn delta
I mean allegory farming
twilit arch
allegory is still going to be weekly capped
faint flare
The 24man will drop 490 straight up
twilit arch
and the nier raid is going to drop 490 gear that is also weekly locked
solemn delta
I see
faint flare
The coin to upgrade allegory will also be weekly locked
twilit arch
no
faint flare
No
solemn delta
No lol
faint flare
Ainy 5.3 yet
remote lintel
there's 3 nier raids
twilit arch
we're not talking about copied factory, the first nier raid
remote lintel
we have 1 out
leaden ginkgo
there are more?
twilit arch
we're talking about the 2nd one, the puppet's bunker
solemn delta
At least I can start gearing my tank then
faint flare
There will be 3 in total
twilit arch
there's 3 alliance raids per expansion
faint flare
Its this tiers raid series
solemn delta
Cause I'll have full 490 on SAM
remote lintel
all expansions have 3 alliance raids
solemn delta
Isn't 5.4 new gear tier?
faint flare
Yes
twilit arch
yes
solemn delta
That's likely when allegory will be uncapped
olive cedar
hi anyone knows where to find the gathering threshold for +items or aetheyte farming or fishing?
faint flare
Yes, and new tomes
twilit arch
correct, because it will take phanta's place
solemn delta
Makes more sense
twilit arch
and we will have a new weekly tomestone
solemn delta
Think I'll main tank tbh next gear tier. Just to decide between GNB and PLD
faint flare
Crit > dh > det
remote lintel
then det
faint flare
Crit until you cant, then dh until you cantz then det
remote lintel
depends on the weapon
remote lintel
yeah so depends on the weap

Do castrum abania
leaden ginkgo
oh ok
faint flare
To 71
remote lintel
if crit was full then you can't add any more
solemn delta
Yeah he stupidly put 5 in
faint flare
You can it just has no effect
solemn delta
Didn't look at screen
remote lintel
oh
faint flare
See +0 on it
solemn delta
But it was our first 80s so
Luckily SAM weapon has no crit but I seen the thing that says 0
olive cedar
hi i wish pentameld my facet gathering set need to know thresholds of gathering for more items and for aetheryte
mental garnet
i just noticed i can dye my rdm shire set but not my dnc shire set
is it because dnc came out more recently?

remote lintel
it's because you augmented the shire set
faint flare
@olive cedar
dense pier
Why is this guy invulnerable and why is there nothing I can do?
mental garnet
ahh, ok
noble ember
For PoD/HoH does Aether gear level retain for any new/future runs or resets. Like if I get my gear to +55 and then start a new run at floor one, will it be +55 (but synced until I relevel to unsync it), or each run you get new gear that you need to relevel.
noble ember
Max level is 99? And what does turning it in for grips do exactly?
lavish breach
so u cant sell any weapons u have spiritbond right?
faint flare
Allows you to take the weapon outside
noble ember
Is that worth it since youd have to then relevel new gear.
faint flare
For glamour purposes
remote lintel
@lavish breach you can
lavish breach
for example if i replace a weapon i cant put it up for auction again?
faint flare
Once you've used a piece of gear you cant trade it away to others

jaunty bear
I'm on PC, can you give me the steps to change?
faint flare
My games > ffxiv > in one od the character files. Adjust something on your main and it will be the most recent folder
Them just copy stuff over
jaunty bear
Ajust somthing in your main folder?
faint flare
On the character itself
faint flare
So it saves and updates it
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
So you know what is the maim character
Cause the folders aren't named after the character so you cant tell what character is which without adjusting something and checking the recently changed date
faint flare
Because i dont place on pc anymore and only know the general location of the folder
jaunty bear
Then why try to awnser the question
little swift
Your attitude does not warrant help either if you respond like that
So what you need to do
To reiterate vinyls steps
jaunty bear
I have the files yeah
little swift
Figure out where your character data is saved on your drive
Then change something in game
So that your main characters files become the most recently altered
Then copy those to the new character file
jaunty bear
'Somthing'?
raw solstice
a gearset, keybind, UI element. Type something in chat
any sort of change will change files within the folder
and will say "hey this is the most recently changed character"
jaunty bear
You never said what to do with said files.
raw solstice
you copy them into other character folders
faint flare
Then copy those to the new character file
jaunty bear
Alright thank you

They come every 5 levels. Make sure you have your soul crystal equipped
viscid wraith
Yea I don't see you never go back
mental garnet
hmm yeah the only other thing i can think of is the thing channy mentioned, having the soul crystal equipped
only having the weapon would default you back to thm
viscid wraith
I'll try equipping and unequiping and restart my game
warped nest
You shouldn't need to restart

Just put the black mage rock in the slot it belongs to in your equipment screen
ruby willow
Am I doing something wrong? Because I find every class in this fucking game in pvp heals more than I can do damage
ruby willow
I have 1 CC
faint flare
And ofc pvp is a team effort to help kill
Trying to 1v1 healers aint gonna work out well
ruby willow
I even loose when 1v1 like dps vs DPS
warped nest
There is a common denominator in both scenario
ruby willow
It's just so annoying x.x
I wish 1v1 was more of a thing in ff pvp.
I think this game has better raiding and stuff. But wow pvp is much better
faint flare
Cause it aint pvp focused
slate arrow
pvp didn't exist until a very late 2.x patch
and it's been tuned over and over and over and over
warped nest
Most of us only do PvP for the glamour or the collab rewards
remote lintel
your team is supposed to cc the healer and kill them
then kill dps
or yoink DPS into the middle of your team and kill

She already successfully did the PS3->PS4 conversion
she just can't download the game. I think there's a 12-digit PSN store key that you can retrieve from Mogstation to use in the store, but I can't find where it is
vagrant copper
If she did the upgrade, she should've redeemed a PSN code at that time and it should be linked to her PSN account. I'd imagine she'd just have to log in to the PSN store and download it again.
(Haven't used PSN in however many years so can't help with specifics)

Hunting logs are pretty much only an ARR thing, right?
faint flare
Yes
jade quartz
Yes. Later, daily hunt bills effectively replace them in concept.
raven tundra
Okay so I know that mods are pretty much frowned upon, but I was wondering if there is any client side mods that could help me. My eyes are light sensitive and the animation for the WHM spell Holy is so bright it can cause migraines with one or two casts. In game the only thing I can do is turn off effects entirely which is honestly pretty lame. Part of the appeal of magic classes is to see cool effects. So I was wondering if there was a middle ground. I've already tried adjusting some visual settings but that just results in the rest of the game being harder to see.
faint flare
I mean i guess you can play around with Shaders and stuff to see if that makes any difference
terse grail
also mods arent necessarily frowned upon, its more of a case that they arent officially supported and are in violation of ToS, so kinda use at your own risk. but 99% of the time you wont get banned for using mods unless you abuse them in some way
there are actually many big communities for modding and shaders and such
vagrant copper
I don't really see how you'd do something about Holy without poorly affecting the rest of the game but it seems like Reshade would be the best bet for it...?
It's hard to do anything about a spell that is pure light
raven tundra
Yeah, I am hoping to turn down just how bright it is. Less staring into a flashlight and more of a Nightlight
Thank you for the heads up on shaders and how mods are actually approached. I appreciate it.
jade quartz
discussing mods here is OK
terse grail
yea, many people use them and reshade has a super big community behind it
open coral
You can also simply turn down or turn off spell effects. That will affect all spells, but it will make flashy things like Holy less so
That option is available without mods in your Settings

how can i unlock the ability to purchase spring bottoms at golden saucer?

Thanks!
terse grail
you gotta accumulate a certain amount of points from fashion report (i think its 500? dont quote me on that). so basically try to get 100 points for a few weeks and youll get it eventually
twilit arch
600 is total
raven tundra
The problem with using the ingame settings is going form Full effects which is all the animation, to limited which is just raising up the staff and that's it
twilit arch
takes between 6 to 8 weeks to unlock spring bottoms
radiant brook
so try to get 100 score for 5 weeks?
radiant brook
jeezus, alright thanks

@raven tundra Did you try “limited” effects? Or just effects off?
raven tundra
I used Limited

did you turn down bloom

@reef steppe Kupo doesn't support that at the moment.

And that I guess
reef steppe
Ya, I was looking for an alternative to Ser Aymeric after I heard stuff about them, but I like the generic functions.
Which I was looking the commands for like profile, rolls, fashion report, etc
raven tundra
I'm not seeing a setting for bloom, actually
vagrant copper
There's a "glare" setting might be what bloom is in this game?
raven tundra
I believe that's just for your JJ Abrams lense flares looking at the sun
nova umbra
so if I'm just going to use the white scrip crafting gear, can I sell my VIII gathering materias?
sleek roost
KupoBot does most of that @reef steppe - is there something in particular you're looking for?
reef steppe
I was just looking for a list of basic commands is all.
cobalt swift
For all these starting quests that offer either low gear (im level 12) or the Allagan pouches, which one should I be choosing?
remote lintel
if the gear is better choose gear
cobalt swift
Ok cool. Thanks.
Its hard to say no to Gil even if I dont know what to spend it on yet lol
remote lintel
you get plenty of gil from the msq
cobalt swift
Ahh. Ok.
mental garnet
is msq roulette worth doing for xp purposes after it's already been done once for the day?
jade quartz
No
mental garnet
dang
jade quartz
Roulettes are once a day.
mental garnet
so it's pretty bad xp after the first time then, huh?
vagrant copper
Some people like spamming praetorium as it's good XP for how much effort goes into it. But... it's praetorium 🤷♂️

Is there a filler guide for Stormblood msq on what’s safe to skip?
mental garnet
yeah i mean i was thinking if it's still at least decent xp, i'd be getting law tomes as well
jade quartz
Don't skip if you care about story <_<
Praetorium is bad exp.
Maybe it's okay if you're right on level 50
but still not worth the time
vagrant copper
Yes, we're talking about without the bonus
mental garnet
ok, i got it. no bonus = not worth

Would anyone be interested in a msq filler guide? Like quests where you do chores and don't contribute to the plot, I guess I can start working on one since it doesnt seem to exist

for crafting scrip sets, does it go Adept --> kudzu --> ***king --> white scrip gear?
twilit arch
lvl 60 has class specific gear and the land/handmaster accessories
mental garnet
hmm, gotcha
tranquil blade
i bought a hat off the market board, and when i equip it it doesnt show up on my character
and also when i try to equip other head gear it doesnt show up
anyone know how to fix this?
jade quartz
You have headgear hidden. Click the helmet icon in the bottom-left of your gear screen in the Character menu
or type the chat command /displayhead
jade quartz
You hid a helmet at some point, yeah
deft quiver
where can i get level 130 fishing rod?
jade quartz
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Fisher's_Primary_Tool here are all the rods in the game
deft quiver
i need this fish, but it says level 130 item level. Is that average item level then?
vagrant copper
Guessing that means for retainers...?
jade quartz
Yeah or desynth threshold
deft quiver
cause theres already 5 on market
twilit arch
ilvl is basically going to be the same as the desynth level
jade quartz
Also, big levequests are not worth doing.
Unless you just want pure speed at huge cost to efficiency
deft quiver
alright, ill go do smaller ones then
jade quartz
The cost 10x the number of leve allowances, but only give about 3x the rewards of a regular leve.
deft quiver
i just unlocked big ones, so i was kinda excited to get 10 mil xp lol
warped nest
Btw the fish's ilvl 130 requirement would mean you need an average of i130
jade quartz
Yeah but I don't believe that's actually true at all.
twilit arch
even then, for fishing/gathering in general, the ilvl isn't important
jade quartz
Not for the player fishing it.
twilit arch
your stats (gathering/perception) are
warped nest
My point is, even if it means i130, it would need avg ilvl, just getting a single i130 rod won't count
Like how getting just a i130 weapon and have i90 everything else won't let you in a dungeon with i130 entry requirement
mossy tartan
Personnel officer says I cannot go any higher than second storm lieutenant currently, how come?
twilit arch
1st LT and Captain are gotten thru squadron missions
mossy tartan
where can I access that? I recently changed GCs
and got that squadron system before changing
twilit arch
then the squadron room should be unlocked for you
jade quartz
Go to your current GC headquarters and enter the barracks through the door at the back left.
Your squadron members which you had recruited will have moved across with you.
mossy tartan
Okay. Thank you both
zinc orbitBOT
trail prairie
i'm a returner and i wanted to ask: once you're done with a regular gear item and it's 100% soul bound, the best thing to do with it is still turn it into materia right? and to desynth if it's less than 100%?
twilit arch
an item is no longer destroyed when you extract for materia
twilit arch
so you can extract if you like and then turn it for seals
assuming it can be
or desynth/vendor if it can't
twilit arch
same thing for green. extract if you can then turn in or desynth
trail prairie
thanks again :D

signal fable
Hello, any GW2 players know which jobs play the most like Alacrigade?
gloomy ice
From summaries I've seen, it sounds like Dancer would be the closest. DNC is all about party buffs and has great AoEs.
signal fable
I was thinking of Bard / Dancer!
warped nest
Dancer playstyle is very heavy on RNG
On single target, you have 2 skills, A and B. A combos into B
Using A has 50% chance to proc C.
Using B has 50% chance to proc D
Using C or D has 50% chance to build resources, which can be used to do other skills
Bard has 3 songs to play in rotation. When the songs are playing, they can randomly proc. Depending on the song being played, you either get to do a powerful skill, have a skill reset immediately, or speed up your cooldown when you get a proc
indigo orbit
DNC gets an ability that gives them all their procs every... minute-ish
So it's not too bad
gusty rock
I happen to be able to see the supply and provision missions from other grand companies in one of the smaller points, but i can't seem to find them now... You do get a bonus from your own companies, but I wonder if we can maximize it by knowing where the other 'trade in' NPCs are located
leaden ginkgo
can i be in a fc in ultros if i’m from a different world on the same server
gloomy ice
No. FCs are locked to their home worlds and you can't join one that isn't on your home unless you transfer to it.
Home world transfers and world visit are different things in this case.
little swift
18usd for a transfer
twilit arch
the supply and provision missions are the same regardless of which npc you talk to @gusty rock
its just an option to be able to turn them in while out in the field rather than heading back to your hq every time
gusty rock
Oh
I tried talking to different 'grand company' npcs with the titles and it doesn't offer the choice to turn in stuff
twilit arch
yes because you can only turn in supply and provisioning items to your grand company
gusty rock
No i managed to talk to a Flames NPC one time I think.
I forgot where
I'm part of Maelstrom
Unless I mistaken the clothing lol
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
either you world visit to their world or they come to you @thorny spruce
or you can add them from social > contacts list
twilit arch
regardless its not super important to know which npcs you can turn into because like i said, its the same as turning in at your grand company personnel officer
little swift
if you played with tehm recently
jagged crow
How do I get a higher level blue mage weapon? I am level 13 with a level 1 staff
It's such an odd class
twilit arch
same items, regardless of where you are or who you talk to. So you're only going to get one set of turn ins per day. gc levemetes stop being a thing after 45 anyway
little swift
the weapon isn't the important bit, just gear yourself better. that said you get a different weapon upon completing job quests
all the weapons are lvl 1
gusty rock
@jagged crow Blue Mage is more limited and unique to their own type
little swift
their stats aren't really that different
jagged crow
The class is really fun
twilit arch
Blu Mage doesn't rely as heavily on their weapon, as other jobs do
jagged crow
Using sticky tongue is fucking awesome
gusty rock
They are more about collecting monster skills than gearing weapons
twilit arch
Int is far more important to them than weapon damage is
jagged crow
Any recommendations to level up blue mage fast? since I can't do dailies?
gusty rock
You can only gain Int from armor then.
gusty rock
Yeah that's one way to farm exp
jagged crow
why 59?
gusty rock
But it caps out at 1500 EXP for a certain level gap
jagged crow
I am only lvl 13
twilit arch
Blu gets more exp from open world mobs than other jobs
twilit arch
so having a friend kill much higher mobs than you is a very quick way to level
jagged crow
Fr? that's sick
gusty rock
Or find a lv35 guard and lure mobs to them
and then aggro to get them red and have the guards kill em
jagged crow
That's smart
gusty rock
Not many places where you can find a npc and a decently leveled enemy spawning near them
little swift
using flying sardine is a good way to aggro things
gusty rock
The enemy has to go yellow from 'returning to position' after you lure it too far.
little swift
so you don't have to stand and cast
jagged crow
Do I have to be the level of the enemy to get their ability?
little swift
no you just have to see the spell and kill the enemy
jagged crow
I had a friend help me kill the sabotender thing and I didn't get his ability
little swift
overworld mobs are rng on chance to learn
gusty rock
i think Blue Mage's skill learning is being hit or targetted by the skill?
jagged crow
The 1000 spike thing
little swift
you just have to see it and kill it
twilit arch
and like channy said, for open world mobs its rng
gusty rock
So having a high level friend tank and shrug off attacks will have the mob cast the skill over and over
leaden ginkgo
i can switch data centers ?
indigo orbit
You just have to see the mob do the skill
leaden ginkgo
but it only says home world transfer
little swift
yes with a transfer @leaden ginkgo
indigo orbit
While it's tagged by you
rough lance
other than gc or leves what else can u do to lvl crafters
little swift
you choose a home world on a different DC
gusty rock
Oh so they gotta aggro you the blue mage and use the skill.
little swift
ishgard restoration is another option @rough lance
little swift
also your class quests give a lot of exp now
rough lance
ishgard gt limitations?
gusty rock
But using a tank you can redirect the aggro to avoid being killed
little swift
limitations are be lvl60 and finish 3.3 MSq to unlock
also collectables and custom deliveries are other good sources of EXP if you're high enough level
rough lance
i meant.. like leves getting 3 leve every 12hr for example
little swift
no you're limited by your access to materials more or less
little swift
half the materials are usually gotten from Diadem
warped nest
Ishgard can get boring, so that's a thing you might want to consider
rough lance
i'm thinking of doing it cos i wan the umbrella LOL but after that i dunno i shall see
leaden ginkgo
how do you check how many days it’s been since you created your character
warped nest
But if you have the patience to grind it out over the weekend, Ishgard is good because you aren't limited by Leve quota
gusty rock
I found that NPC that gives you your faction's delivery missions in drybone
rough lance
collectables exchanges stuffs mus b crafted by urself?
gloomy ice
Yeah, collectables can not be exchanged or purchased from other sources.
warped nest
Yes
rough lance
i see thanks
dense pier
Is there pvp-glam for ranked pvp?
little swift
@leaden ginkgo you can check your lodestone profile for the "Storyteller I" acheivement, that's usually the closest we got to how long you've had a character
dense pier
Is there a gallery or something somewhere that I can view them?
dense pier
How hard is it to get top-100?
warped nest
If you know their names, you can look them up in Garlandtools, it has 3d model viewer
little swift
i think finding matches is the harder bit
twilit arch
at this point, probably won't have much luck finding a match
that said, can always try but i wouldn't hope for much. Might want to try when a new season starts

i just came back ftrom a long break and i wanted to know how to find the last quest i did for the conjurers guild. I think i abandoned it :\
raw solstice
there's a UI element that should show your next MSQ (main scenario quest), denoted by 
. Underneath that should show what class/job quest you have next to do on the class/job you're on
warped nest
Change to Conjurer, top left of the screen is your main scenario tracker
What Rika said
i need help running my Astrologist , so i click draw > then pick one of the coloured balls > then i have no idea how to continue. All the guides ive seen so far do not explain in detail
@wild terrace wdym by pick the colored balls?
raw solstice
possibly the seals?
warped nest
Most of not all guides are written for players at lvl 80
fervent silo
yeah as i said i think i abandoned it
warped nest
It assumed that you sorta know what skill does
wild terrace
i know what they do idk how they stack
because the guides say they can stack
so there is some pattern
raw solstice
bole/ewer/spire go on ranged/caster (or healer), balance/arrow/spear go on melee (or tank)
wild terrace
yes ik that
warped nest
Screenshot or link the guide
raw solstice
they also have a separate colored border around the card
purple for the ranged, blue for the melee
you can't really stack cards or anything
if you play a card (or exchange it into a lord/lady card) and you play it, it overwrites any other card effect
the only thing that stacks is when you get three seals from playing cards and can play divination
you can stack divination with any other card effect
wild terrace
yes i can read what they do, however there is a pattern which you are supposed to use them with king or queen and then devination that part im clueless
i cant see the seals however
warped nest
Each card gives a sun, star, or moon seal
raw solstice
so, cards have different symbols at the top of the card
raw solstice
^
warped nest
/\
wild terrace
i have it ive been grinding the past 2 days for level healer to 68
raw solstice
if you're 50+ look for the symbol at the top center of the card. It'll also display when you play a card (non lord/lady) on a party member, specifically while in combat
twilit arch
until then just play them on whichever job is appropriate. once you do have divination, you want to try and get one of each seal to get max potency divination though that largely isn't as important
warped nest
Take a screenshot of your job gauge with a card drawn
raw solstice
when you get 3 seals divination will light up
warped nest
It is easier to point it out on your screen
twilit arch
the seals are look like this, at the top of the gauge
left is moon, center celestial, right is sun
warped nest
Regarding King/Queen, when you draw a Card, you get to Play it as is, this give smaller buff but give you seal for Divination. Using Minor Arcana (this will change to King/Queen on its own) will not give you seal but it will give stronger buff
twilit arch
take a screenshot like lchronos said
warped nest
Take a screenshot of your game
raw solstice
are you potentially using simple gauge? Yeah taking a screenshot is the easiest solution isntead of trying to guess at stuff
warped nest
Draw a Card, then take a screenshot
wild terrace
yes ok once i end quest
twilit arch
also divination lights up once you have 3 seals
raw solstice
divination is only usable when you use 3 non-lord/lady cards while in combat, it'll have that circle border around it to say you can use it. Depending on the number of different seals you get, you get a different strength divination
wild terrace
ah so you can only see it when the button lights us
raw solstice
yeah it has that dotted border like other procs
fervent silo
how do i find which guild quest i was on if i abandoned it?
raw solstice
it should show up on the MSQ indicator as mentioned previously
even if you abandoned it, it should be there
warped nest
Top left of your screen, UI, the 2nd line is your job quest
fervent silo
it doesn't
warped nest
Are you on that job?
fervent silo
yes
warped nest
You sure you abandoned it?
raw solstice
what class/job, what level quest do you last remember doing?
warped nest
Or did you mean "I abandoned the quest line"

dense pier
Ah
dense pier
I'm just wondering if that's enough time for me to just be using all my oGCDs on cooldown
little swift
you should be using your ogcds off cooldown
warped nest
You should always use oGCD on cooldown
raw solstice
don't specifically restrict corps a corps / displacement to pair with melee combo
little swift
^
warped nest
For red Mage, you
Hardcast a spell - Get Dualcast - Use Dualcast buff to cast another spell immediately - use this window to use OGCD if you have one ready
Repeat
raw solstice
you should aim to use oGCDs after a dualcast window when they're available, to weave them
little swift
use them off cd they get reset by manafication as well
raw solstice
and when you ahve the mana to melee combo you just move into melee range to use it
dense pier
I'm just concerned they won't be up whne I hit 80/80 which means I'll have to walk in to start meleeing
raw solstice
you don't have to have them up for melee combo, is the point
frank ridge
Just get close to be ready for it
raw solstice
like, you get 80|80, you don't have CaC
warped nest
Jump backward, then close in
raw solstice
you just move in and do the thing
little swift
you're not supposed only use them during melee combo
raw solstice
no need to CaC
warped nest
Doesn't matter if you are on magic or melee
raw solstice
the oGCDs aren't part of the combo
little swift
its damage
dense pier
when waiting for GCD
little swift
just use it
raw solstice
the'yre just damaging oGCDs to weave when available
warped nest
I feel like my shielding in level 80 is half of what I used to shield in level 70 trials (nocturnal AST) am I doing something wrong?
@mossy tartan as in the shield bar look smaller or?
mossy tartan
the amount of shielding
I used to shield to half the HP of my party members
Now it’s 25% of the HP bar
frank ridge
Gear maybe?
warped nest
Do your party member have significantly more health?
raw solstice
gear is probably a big factor yes
I dunno, like I wouldn't worry about it too much
noct in general is weaker/less efficient than diurnal
you can get by fine with either and do fine with either
at 70 you could have max ilvl for the expansion. For this expansion we're only at the second tier so you're not at max ilvl for the expansion
relatively if you're looking simply at that you're going to be stronger at 70 max ilvl than at current 80 max ilvl
but like, shield strength isn't something particularly you can control/worry about unless your gear is especially out of date
twilit arch
whats your weapon

hi guys, if I want to craft raid food (i480), what's the minimum gear I need?
I'm using crafted 71 gear until 80
mossy tartan
Neo-ishgardian planisphere
@mossy tartan using determination /Critical hit as materia for all of my gear
gloomy ice
Professional's set, purchased with white crafter scrips at level 80, should be good enough. You might need crafting food as backup but it's doable. @empty sleet
raw solstice
mmm so you're saying like, you're shielding for more HP with level 70 synced stuff than you're getting with your current gear (i480)?
empty sleet
oh damn that means I gotta farm some white scrips
what's the best way to farm white scrips? I only have been doing deliveries to level my crafters to 80
gloomy ice
The pieces are relatively cheap. Deliveries are a great way to get scrips. Other than that, normal collectables are good too.
mossy tartan
mmm so you're saying like, you're shielding for more HP with level 70 synced stuff than you're getting with your current gear (i480)?
@raw solstice yep
gloomy ice
The client in Eulmore gives the most white scrips, but all of the other delivery clients give them as well. Just not as much as the one in Eulmore. If you have the others unlocked, just shoot for whichever has the bonus for the week.
raw solstice
that should simply not be the case
empty sleet
thanks @gloomy ice
raw solstice
maybe if you're comparing a particular high crit roll shield vs a non-crit low roll shield but even then the i480 set should far outweigh the shield on the level 70 set
you're quite a bit of main stat behind at level 70, even before starting to consider secondary stats
mossy tartan
it’s quite sad, I enjoy nocturnal very much
but I can’t continue with the low shield amount
raw solstice
you can get by just fine with noct AST in any and all content, even ultimate fights
diurnal will still be the better option
but noct is still plenty viable
