Where do i get better rings/side items for gatherers to get more gp?
balmy loom
Hey guys, I started my first character (32 White Mage) on Aether. I noticed the game is pretty quiet. Is this because I'm not in an FC?
sturdy mason
It's quiet until you hit end game
at least it was in my experience
the MSQ is very solo, except for when you need to queue up for a dungeon
or trial
deft quiver
and realm reborn is mostly boring quests
balmy loom
That's exactly my exp right now
deft quiver
theres a lot of fetch quests in arr
molten spruce
how do i use limit break?
raw solstice
it's what I said above
sturdy mason
Yeah once you get past 2.x content it gets 300% better. Seriously. Heavensward was amazing. Along with everything after it. In ARR, I woke up every morning thinking "Do I even want to log in to do more of this crap today?"
molten spruce
ohhh didnt see it
deft quiver
Click "p" to open actions. Go to general, and you'll see limiut break there
molten spruce
holy fuck that attack was cool
pardon my french
im starting to think elder scrolls sucks compared to this game
how do i build up my limit break?
raw solstice
it's a shared party resource that builds up over time while in combat
molten spruce
says page does not exist
old flame
fixed the link
molten spruce
works
raw solstice
@deft quiver crafted accessories for crafters/gatherers, to answer your question from before
molten spruce
im confused toward blue mages, why are they limited and why can they only do dlc stuff?
raw solstice
they're just a separate sort of content by themselves, was just a design choice for their implementation for FFXIV
old flame
they work a bit different than usual classes overall
faint flare
Some stuff they can do is pretty bonkers
molten spruce
so are they ever going to be included to all content?
faint flare
And can never be truly balanced
deft quiver
yeah i gotta go level my leatherworker bc im not paying 200k for 30 gp lol
faint flare
Very slowly but probably not all
molten spruce
well i saw an ability that takes 50% of the enemies health, is that possible in a trial?
faint flare
Yes
molten spruce
sounds broken
faint flare
If the boss isn't resistant to it
molten spruce
why would they do something like that
molten spruce
thats straight stoopid
faint flare
People want blue mage
A proper blue mage would never be balanced
If it was balanced it would basically be a cookie cutter caster dps
old flame
@molten spruce Read up on some of the lore of the blue mage before you get grumpy about it. They've always been that way; Powerful or near useless. lol
lament axle
What would be a good data center for a UK based player?
faint flare
Light or chaos
leaden ginkgo
Light if ya want to hang out with germans and chaos if ya want to hang out with french
obsidian wren
Doesn't really matter between the 2 of em
Deffo one of the two for good latency tho
lament axle
Yeah, I'm thinking about moving from crystal to light because my connection is only 'good' at the moment.
leaden ginkgo
Ye
obsidian wren
Rest doesn't really matter
Moogle is chaos
Believe odin is the largest server in light
If you wanna hang around a lotta people
leaden ginkgo
Nah phoenix is
wintry chasm

obsidian wren
Ah it is?
wintry chasm
Don't believe Dan's lies
leaden ginkgo
Yea
wintry chasm
Phoenix is pretty big anyways
obsidian wren
I said that i thought so ;-;
leaden ginkgo
And mainly uk people there too
obsidian wren
If you wanna get easy housing i guess twintania would be better
wintry chasm
Uhhh, is there any light preferred servers?
obsidian wren
Thats the smallest right?
leaden ginkgo
lament axle
Not that bothered about housing, i'm waiting until the ishguard resto is done then gonna buy an apartment.
obsidian wren
Do they offer many benefits for a transferred character?
twilit arch

Ah standard
Believe there was a bonus or something moving from congested to preferred but that won't apply for you
leaden ginkgo
Just go for phoenix if ya want high pop english speaking or zodiark if ya want preffered
lament axle
what does the prefered status mean exactly?
strong sphinx
isnt the idealized bale gear from memoria misera better than the two materia slot neoishgardian gear?
gloomy ice
Newly created characters on preferred servers are given a 2x exp bonus up to level 70 as incentive to balance server populations.
spare plinth
how do you check other players using kupo bot?
gloomy ice
A server is assigned preferred status when its population dips too low so it can be brought back up.
lament axle
Ah I see, makes sense
little swift
@spare plinth use the command !whois or commands like !whoclasses
try it out in #kupo-bot-spam
also you can use !help
to see what each command does
lament axle
Ill give it some thought, thx for the info everyone btw 🙂
gloomy ice
@strong sphinx Depends on the stats for each set. Five guaranteed materia slots makes melding them much safer but the Neo-Ishgardian sets can be overmelded.

twilit python
thought about maybe getting into the game, but i know its had multiple expansions, on steam i can only find the latest "shadowbringers", is that all i need? does that include the previous expansions as well? or do i need to buy them elsewhere? basically, what all do i need to purchase to have all the content in the game?
lime geode
You can play a free trial up to lvl 35 - perhaps start there
twilit python
ah ye, but steam summer sale reducing price from 45 to 20 so ykno
lime geode
ah nice
twilit python
20.60€ for starter edition and shadowbringers on steam, thats all i need?
lime geode
Nice. Enjoy.
twilit python
cool, heard good things about this game so might as well try it
faint flare
Alternatively get complete edition for everything in one package
twilit python
lime geode
Come back when you have qeustions!
wintry chasm
Since no one straight up said it, yes, Shadowbringers comes with all the previous expansions
twilit python
oh right, as a new player, is it fine if i just do whatever, explore, have fun on my own, or are there things that you can fuck up early and thus should look up a guide?
wintry chasm
Fuck up no

onyx kiln
what is the RDM skill Engament meant to be used for? for me, everytime i use the RDM weaponskill combo i usually always end it with displacement to fall back and then use either verholy or verflare.
faint flare
When backflipping kills you
open coral
When you don't want to yeet yourself out of the arena
onyx kiln
never had that issue of dying to backflip
faint flare
But primarily when displacement would kill you or fuck up mechanics
oak ice
I saw a guy who backflipped away with a stackmarker
onyx kiln
that sounds amazing
vagrant copper
"Why is everyone chasing me?! Ahhh"
oak ice
He realised he messed up lol
open coral
If you've never died to backflip, you aren't a real RDM yet. Yeeting off of a boss platform (or into a wall of death) is like a rite of passage.
onyx kiln
had that happen in one of the ivalice raids where you get this red prism markers, looked like how magnets push each other to the side when of the same polarity
slate arrow
I dare you to do o12 blind without accidentally backflipping off the edge
vagrant copper
I still have no idea what the doritos markers mean in anything. It never seems to kill/wipe so I haven't bothered to learn
oak ice
Suzaku 
slate arrow
@vagrant copper the red triangle with the target under you right?
open coral
Doritos markers?
vagrant copper
I guess it's that one? I just remember red triangle markers
slate arrow
Those are "stack with other Doritos"
basically if two overlap they cancel each other out
onyx kiln
its the ones where unless you and i think at least one other player stack, you will get blown into the air
slate arrow
I don't think they appear in any non-alliance raid content now that I think about it
onyx kiln
are those there?
open coral
But nobody actually stacks with them
opal bough
if I buy the game on steam do I need to redeem the 30 days code right away?
wintry chasm
When you buy it you'll have to manually put the code on mogstation but registering that code to get the game would automatically add the 30 days yes
remote lintel
if you register the base game the 30 days will automatically apply @opal bough
opal bough
I can't play the game rn. but if I buy it can I put the code let's say, next year?
faint flare
Codes dont expire
opal bough
great thanks
leaden ginkgo
Where can I exchange the lvl 80 allagan tomestones ?
leaden ginkgo
Ok thx
Also another question if you may, i saw a katana dark knight sword ingame and i wanted to know where to get it from ? I searched the market board but didn’t find it
oak ice
Yeah, Odenta i360
leaden ginkgo
Rhalgars reach right ?
faint flare
Yes
oak ice
Yes
leaden ginkgo
The tomestone exchange npc only shows me paladin shields on weapon tab
faint lantern
What's the best class for tanking dmg/aggro out of the four?
oak ice
You go to the npc next to him
And Ryumyaku gear exchange
All the tanks are very well balanced and aggro works the same for all of them
faint flare
No
leaden ginkgo
I think for aggro gunbreaker is slightly better
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Balance actually exists in this game
faint lantern
I kept having issues with certain tank class players so I thought it was just the class itself...
Thanks lmao
little swift
Probably done habits to fix
faint flare
Its players, never class
open coral
It's always players
leaden ginkgo
Since you can spam your ranged ability and gain alot of aggro from other tanks in trails and raids
oak ice
Gunbreakers start at 60, so people who've never tanked before tend to start with it with... varied results
faint flare
All tanks can do that
vagrant copper
One thing you might run into is people bad as DRK or GNB since they start at higher levels
faint lantern
I never overheal but I notice that 3/5 parties I join the DPS and I always get the aggro instead of the tank....
🤔 hmm true
oak ice
Then he can't be using tank stance or AoEs
faint flare
Unless they missed a mob or dont have stance on, thats basically impossible
oak ice
Either or
opal bough
vinyl I want to special thank you because you always help me out
faint flare
Literally just turn stance on and hit shit
Well done you can afk for 5 years
And still have aggro
faint lantern
And yet the problem seems to persist 😂
faint flare
Tanks only lose aggro if they miss.mobs, dont aoe or have no stance
Or severly undergeared
Like badly
Badly
Undergeared
faint lantern
oh yeah I've seen that too
open coral
I'd bet on stance
faint lantern
and then they go and do huge pulls
faint flare
Most the time its them missing mobs
faint lantern
and run off ahead of me
open coral
Gear I usually don't notice unless I'm going OOM as WHM.
faint flare
Or regen ticking and pulling the mob they miss
Alternatively if you're a ranged DPS and you go ham as the tank pull you can rip aggro since the tank has only hit them like once or twice
strong sphinx
i bought a full set of neo ishgardian gear, can i sell it bakc on the mb, once i exchange that gear with better gear?
vagrant copper
Yeah, putting regen on the tank during trash pulls can actually be a bad thing. It's an interesting thing
slate arrow
no you can still transfer it
however if you kill a mob or die with it equipped
It becomes soulbound
Then you can't trade it away
strong sphinx
ohhh okay nvm then haha
slate arrow
There's also a few other things which make items soulbound like applying glamours
strong sphinx
what should i do with it instead? im really confused about what to do with old gear because i exchange them so frequently lately
slate arrow
but for the most part it's killing or dying with it
faint flare
Use it for glamour
slate arrow
oh you can exchange them into your Grand Company for seals
vagrant copper
Sell to vendor, glamour, desynth, trade in to GC.
open coral
Regen for trash can be a tricky thing. You have to time its use and expiration with the last mobs dying.
slate arrow
Alternatively if you have phanta saved up you can exchange it for augmented crafted gear
*in 5.3
faint lantern
So Regen pulls aggro more aggressively than regular cures?
open coral
No
faint flare
No
slate arrow
no
open coral
Regen pulls aggro the same as other cures do
slate arrow
It's just a constant aggro generator
faint flare
Its just that regen creating aggro when the tank hasn't generated yet
open coral
But because it's a heal over time tick, it can pull if the tank hasn't tagged a mob.
slate arrow
Since that's 200 points of aggro every 3 seconds
strong sphinx
the gear that i bought with phanta, i cant trade it back right for phante or exchange for gear for a different class?
open coral
Gear bought with tomestones can only be sold to an NPC vendor, desynthed, or exchanged for GC
faint lantern
😲
strong sphinx
Sell to vendor, glamour, desynth, trade in to GC.
all i can do with it is this?
open coral
Yep
nova umbra
so why do I want 800 GP instead of 750? What ability do I add on top of King's Yield II + Pick Clean?
little swift
You can also toss it out
slate arrow
800 is mainly for collectibles
open coral
That applies to all gear that has the "Untradeable" status
little swift
Its for hittibg collectables
faint flare
Because you gey a extra skill use
slate arrow
Since all of your collectible skills cost 200gp each
So might as well have that 4 collectible skill wiggle room

the action key spam during memoria misera, can i assign a keyboard button for tha? or do i have to keep clicking it with mouse?
nova umbra
why can't I use a VI materia on my ring here?
obsidian patio
@strong sphinx any key that’s not escape or enter will work
You can quite literally keyboard smash as long as you don’t hit those two keys
The same goes for any other active time event that looks like that
strong sphinx
wait really? i could spam 1 which is usually in my case the first part of my 1-2-3 combo?
obsidian patio
Yep
strong sphinx
omg thats a quality of life info thx
wintry chasm
@nova umbra that ring already has max cp on it
You COULD meld it but it'd give 6/8 stats
obsidian patio
Looks like it can still fit +6, it’s just saying that your current materia is overkill
wintry chasm
Oh wait yes I'm blind
obsidian patio
I think Grade 4 or 5 is +6 CP?
though it doesn’t really matter since it’s going into the safe slot and you have 100% retrieval rate
wintry chasm
Should be 5?
warped nest
For future reference, all items have internal caps on their stat, displayed as Current/Cap on the bottom section Available Materia Enhancement of the meld UI
That's why we have melding priorities for DoW/M
If a job has Crit > DH > Det, why would anyone meld DH or Det if there's no cap on Crit
little swift
something like 2255 for the most budget of meldsets
leaden ginkgo
do u have to pick the same class to level in the same zone or is there a way to make different classes in different leveling zones to be level together
open coral
There are 2-3 jobs available for each leveling zone.
As long as you pick a class that starts in the same city, you can progress more or less in parallel, the only difference being your class guild's location and the 
required for them.
faint flare
Once you have the job you can level it anywhere provided you can get to that area
And dont instanly die
To higher moba
warped nest
(I don't even understand the question)
leaden ginkgo
what class turns into dark knight they seem rlly cool
faint flare

warped nest
DRK doesn't have base class
leaden ginkgo
my friend wants to be a astrologian and i want to be a death knight so what starting classes should we pick
warped nest
Class into Job is a ARR thing
faint flare
You just need lv50 job and access to ishgard
open coral
Dark Knight and Astrologian are Heavensward expansion classes.
faint flare
To unlock ot
open coral
You can't start as them.
warped nest
We recommend picking the same role so you guys are familiar the role and makes it easier to pick up the new jobs
So for DRK, pick tank. For Astrologian, pick healer.
desert ravine
iis it possible to join hunts on other worlds?
open coral
Just be aware that there is no way to start as a tank and a healer in the same city. You'll have to wait until you reach the point in the msq 
where all of the storylines merge to actually play together.
warped nest
All of them can do story quests.
open coral
Which is around level 10
warped nest
Healer and tank are faster only because they usually get faster queue time for co-op dungeon
little swift
the point the stories combine is level15
warped nest
Don't worry about things like "I picked a healer so I cannot kill stuff in story" it is not a thing
leaden ginkgo
oh so when i get to level 10 me and my friend can level together even tho we might be in different places?
warped nest
15
faint flare
Your class doesn't affect how you level really
wintry chasm
Yeah unlocking access to the other cities is a main story progression thing not a level thing @leaden ginkgo
But that main story quest is level 15
So once you get that far then you can play together and main story becomes one path
warped nest
Just pick the same world, that's the most important thing. You cannot screwed up anything else.
wintry chasm
I mean
warped nest
Even if you picked a class you don't like down the line, you can swap
leaden ginkgo
wdym same world
faint flare
Same server
wintry chasm
If we want to be technical it just needs to be the same data center
leaden ginkgo
oh ok
remote lintel
I'm talking about meeting up and leveling together

Even if you ended up liking a different race, you can buy a potion to change it

wintry chasm
Correct

slate arrow
@upper mortar PS4 pro has better framerates but only a little, if you can I recommend seeing if you can upgrade either system with an SSD or a higher speed HDD
those will give significantly better returns for your loading times, the small CPU and GPU bump isn't enough for FFXIV to take a whole lot of advantage of when you start hitting places where the framerate will be impacted
See: hunt trains, mostly
crowded zones like Limsa Lominsa,
etc
upper mortar
Cool ty. Kinda wanted to splurge dont see myself getting a ps5 so i may get a ps4pro and an ssd.
slate arrow
I'd also recommend buying an Ethernet cable for your PS4 if you haven't yet to cut down on latency

I just received my aether compass and black Chocabo... is there anything else I need to do before I can start using the compass? Also... how do I use the compass... I’m in Gridania now and when I pulled up aether currents is has 3 pages of “no information to display”
onyx kiln
whats a good way to raise CP on? my current weaver gear is a mix of lv 60+ items but my CP is still below 400.
silver ruin
meld
remote lintel
@soft hazel you go to an area with currents and right click the compass in your key items and use it
onyx kiln
can i do that with gear that have no materia slots?
slate arrow
@onyx kiln if you're using Scrip gear you can't meld onto those which is the main downfall
silver ruin
think theres also crafting syrup that raises cp for 5 minor something
slate arrow
15 minutes
silver ruin
oh
onyx kiln
is it worth getting the ornate Ironworks set or how hard is that to make?
twilit arch
ornate can't be made
slate arrow
You can't get ornate ironworks anymore
slate arrow
It's also no longer offered as a trade for any WT certificates I think?
twilit arch
that said, ironworks crafted itself is not really worth imo
easier to just push to 61 to get that gear
slate arrow
Fwiw I used HQ ironworks from 60-70 with no melds because a crafter friend offered it for free
onyx kiln
the blood hempen one?
twilit arch
ya
if you can get ironworks for free, yeah don't turn it down
but its not worth going out of your way to get
onyx kiln
do i need any of the master recipe books to be able to craft that gear or is it just some early SB set?
twilit arch
bloodhempen is just normal lvl 61 craft
slate arrow
Also they're reasonably cheap to craft so you could just ask around for someone to craft it for you if you have the materials
onyx kiln
am a bit unsure if that gear set is worth it at this point, almost all my DoH classes are at lv 60 while weaver is at 70. And that one is currently using parts of the kudzu set and other pieces. And those have all around better stats than the blood hempen ones. only negative i can see in my setup is the accesories as they have no materia slots
slate arrow
Are you looking the HQ gear or NQ
NQ gear is anywhere from 10-50 item levels below statwise
onyx kiln
all but 1 part is NQ in my set
oak ice
If you hover over it for the stat screen and press control you can see what stats HQ or NQ, whichever you have not, have
No idea which button on controller

Can you use an item in your glamour dresser so it overides more then 1 item?
remote lintel
what
crystal wave
Like the hooded robes?
remote lintel
are you asking if you can mass glam items
crystal wave
No
remote lintel
yes it's specific
viscid dock
Okay
crystal wave
There are certain glamors that are universal and some that are specific
remote lintel
you would need to individually glamour gear
viscid dock
Oh
steel anvil
if I have gathering / perception both above 2k should I be slotting +GP materia or continue to push gathering/perc higher?
viscid dock
How do you do a universal glamour
crystal wave
There are also glamor plates, you set a grouping of glamor you want to use and you can apply it at any time in a major settlment
crystal wave
a universal glamour is stuff like event items
remote lintel
if it says for tanks then its for tanks
viscid dock
And you have to put it on a plate?
remote lintel
you dont have to but it makes it easier
otherwise you would need to be at the dresser if you wanted to glam
crystal wave
If a gear piece is set to be for casters only it can only ever be displayed on casters, even as a glamor
remote lintel
can't change it to dps or something
viscid dock
If i have a casters armour how do i do it so its not binded to one specific armour
But goes over all caster
remote lintel
equip the gear you want glamoured and apply the plate
crystal wave
If you put it in the glamour dresser you can make a glamour plate to easily apply it to multiple classes without using a ton of glamour crystals
viscid dock
A cosmetic item such as bridesmade dress can go over everything?
crystal wave
Yes
viscid dock
Ok im gona fo to my dresser and check it out
remote lintel
it will say "all classes"
viscid dock
To
remote lintel
on the item
viscid dock
Alright
crystal wave
Like this
viscid dock
Ok cool thx
crystal wave
And if the level is 50 like in the pic, the glamour can only be applied to classes over level 50
viscid dock
I just gotta make sure i do the plate right i accidently did to specific items before
And ok that makes sense
crystal wave
Basically if an item can be equipped on your class it can be glamoured on your class, if it can't be equipped no glamour
viscid dock
Can i take a item out of my glamour and redo it?
crystal wave
Yes
viscid dock
Oh good

@crystal wave more specifically, the item’s equip level must be 50 or higher, for your example
So a level 80 job with a level 70 chest piece can’t glamour it with the appearance of a level 80 item
crystal wave
Exactly
crystal wave
Restore will return it to you inventory
viscid dock
So i gotta take it out to change to a general glamour? Or can i do that with editing it
remote lintel
no
you can apply individual gear you put into your dresser as glams
if you right click it in the dresser
taking it out just returns it to a normal item and puts it in your inventory

Hello, I'm brand new to the game, and was in the main login screen getting Gshade to work. However when I restarted the launcher, it now says it's downloading ex-1. Is this one of the expansions I'm downloading?
obsidian patio
@desert ravine different clusters
remote lintel
shb hunts still give hunt currency
obsidian patio
Stormblood hunts give materia tokens for the grade 6 stuff, shadowbringers gives the grade 7/8 tokens
little swift
clusters are traded for materia @desert ravine you get sacks of nuts from shadowbringers
as the hunt currency

What is the best thing to spend my skybuilders' scrip on?
remote lintel
whatever you want really
obsidian patio
In terms of pure Gil, probably the dyes
Maybe the sky steel materials
Just check your market board and compare Gil value and scrip cost

whoops looks like i need to unlock the hunt board first before joining hunt trains
i dont have nuts
remote lintel
the craftsman apron was selling for a few hundred k on my world

from my hunts

That’s like 2k scrips though

Weirdly any of the skysteel mats on my server is going for 70k,
And the dye are also going for 70k
But I can buy 2 skysteel for the price of one dye???
obsidian patio
You can possibly make bigger bank by making the replica sky pirate gear
twilit arch
you dont need to unlock the huntboard to get rewards from the hunt train
make sure you're in a party for sb/shb hunts, so you are getting max credit and thus max rewards
only reason why you would unlock the huntboard is to get the daily/weekly huntbills
tepid ether
Thinking of going for the skysteel mats
Those seem like they are selling faster than the actual crafted items

hey guys, I got a question regarding platforms:
- So I made my account on the official site
- But the steam sales are on for the expansion.
Is there anyway to integrate the expansion from steam over to the other platform?
vagrant copper
Have you bought the base game?
twilit arch
no it is not
heady bramble
Ah, so I have to do 2 separate purchases
twilit arch
so you would need to buy the starter edition as well as shadowbringers
heady bramble
hmm, if I buy the starter edition say on the official site, is there anyway to bring the Steam Shadowbringers over?
heady bramble
Okay, I'm assuming linking is possible then. Is it possible to use login either from steam or official platform interchangably? Or am I forced to used the Steam login
twilit arch
Your login would be your mogstation account information
all account related stuff is done thru it
vagrant copper
You would have to download and launch the game through Steam though
heady bramble
So steam is used as a platform to login into Mogstation?
twilit arch
all steam does is download the game's launcher

Do materia prices still go up significantly after a new patch? Or should I just sell them now?

given that 5.3 will very likely bring last BiS set for crafting/gathering
tepid ether
Gotcha, thanks!
spare plinth
does it help for someone on free trial
since palace of the dead free trial can only go to floor 10

you can reset and spam 1-10 again
less effective than 51-60

is it best to do dungeons to level up as a healer and/or tank due to fast queue time?

@vernal girder AFAIK, DOTs set their bonuses when you cast them...? But I'm not 100% on that

Hi. Pardon me, but I was wondering, when leveling up your Chocobo, does it matter what level you're fighting? I mean, if I swap to a level 10 Pugilist and go grinding, does my partner level up as fast as if I swap to a level 70 and fight mobs?
twilit arch
nope, doesn't matter
so long as the mobs are appropriate to your level
your chocobo will gain exp
higher mobs will naturally give more exp
but in general, its going to be slow going so just use it while you're out and about
leaden ginkgo
Whats the best way to power lvl a crafter from lvl 60 to 80 ?
twilit arch
leves are the best, but restoration is pretty easy breezy way of leveling
orchid stirrup
Thank you, @twilit arch.
leaden ginkgo
Leves post lvl 50 are useless so that leaves the restoration
leaden ginkgo
The problem is that crafting collectibles are hard to craft
frank ibex
is the chocobo useless or should i level it?
leaden ginkgo
leves aren't useless post 50
@twilit arch are there leves that are lvl 50 + ?
twilit arch
@frank ibex he's a decent dps/healer. given that gysahl greens are pretty cheap no reason to not have him out while you're out in the open world
twilit arch
tank spec is pretty meh for chocobo. unless you're using the food that boosts enmity gen for him, he's really not going to be able to hold aggro off of you
frank ibex
it seemed like the best option for a glass cannon blm
remote lintel
I think the recommended route is up to Choco cure on heals and full attack tree
frank ibex
good thing im only 3 skills into it, should i go with healer instead then?
should it be on healing mode or attack mode then?
or should i hotkey those and switch when needed?
twilit arch
generally just leave it in free stance
frank ibex
and there is no way to reset its skills?
little swift
there is
reagan peppers or whatever they're called
can be purchased at the grandcompany
remote lintel
I thought it was an onion lol
little swift
onion is for leveling it past 10
remote lintel
o right
twilit arch
reagan pepper is going to be a bit expensive if you're not 2nd LT/lvl 50
since its much cheaper to buy with allied seals than it is grand company seals
frank ibex
yeah, doesn't look like im going to be second lieutenant anytime soon
zinc orbitBOT
frank ibex
but i dont think i've run into "allied seals" yet?
twilit arch
they're hunt currency. might've seen lvl 50 mobs in areas that you might not expect to see them.
twilit arch
there's both. the aggressive mobs don't require a specific item get rewards from (these are likely either A or S rank hunt mobs). The passive mob requires a huntbill to get rewards from (known as B ranks)
frank ibex
cause sometimes i can just run up to them and rub myself against them, and sometimes they just aggro me from far away for no reason and just end me
yeah, i think it was an A rank flying claw of death or something
ran past it 3 times and on 4th it just ended my lvl 35~ish black mage
remote lintel
the blue symbols are passive
spare plinth
In palace of the dead can you go solo?
remote lintel
yes
gloomy ice
Jobs with some form of self sustain, like healers or RDM, tend to do better than others but all job can do it in theory.
spare plinth
For the first 10 floors for free trial is it best to go solo?
twilit arch
Not if you're looking to do it for exp
gloomy ice
It gets pretty funky at the deeper floors though.
remote lintel
there's no reason to solo it
spare plinth
So I party but tell them I’m on free trial or something?
gloomy ice
On free trial you can still use matchmaking like normal. You are, however, restricted to the first ten floors.
remote lintel
you can matchmake
spare plinth
Matchmake?
gloomy ice
Party with random people like regular duty finder
spare plinth
But then leave after the 10th floor
gloomy ice
Palace is separated into floor sets of 10. 1-10, 11-20, and so on.
remote lintel
you can leave every 10 floors
but you can't go higher than 10 anyway
cause ur on trial
gloomy ice
Every tenth floor in palace has a boss instead of the maze and beating the boss functions like a checkpoint/rest.
So you can use that break time to exit and start at floor 1 again.
spare plinth
So if the party plans on going ahead, I just leave
gloomy ice
If you're using matchmaking for it, your spot will be filled and they won't have to worry
spare plinth
Oh
remote lintel
every 10 floors there's a room where people can leave if they want or go ahead
spare plinth
So if I leave someone else will fill in my space if the party wants to continue
remote lintel
yes
proud willow
After completing floor 10, the party breaks up anyway, just like it was the end of a dungeon
Even if you weren't on the trial, you wouldn't be able to automatically stay in the same party to go through the next 10 floors together

for coolness astrologian but ppl say it's hard to pick up as a first healer

can you switch between the two?

AST is 100% not the ifrst time healer
remote lintel
yes
thick bolt
You'd want SCH tbh, whm is harder because lol mobility what's that?
remote lintel
white mage isn't hard
subtle marten
but sch/smn use the same shit right?
remote lintel
no
subtle marten
do you just swap soul crystals?
thick bolt
I didn't say hard, I said harder
oak ice
One uses healer gear and one uses caster gear
subtle marten
i mean in terms of weapon
remote lintel
still no

well shit

yup I can't do that

@thick bolt afaik there it should be the same

that's fun

Both are books but that's where the similarities end
potent moth
I know I already have an 80 SAM but every static is full and I'm playing with 2 dps friends.
oak ice
Scholar uses books that only scholars can use
remote lintel
scholars use codexes and summoners use grimoires
subtle marten
ah alright
thick bolt
totally different
subtle marten
is sch good as a starting healing job
remote lintel
not imo
subtle marten
or should i just go WHM
remote lintel
the thing about scholar is that you have to plan your heals
oak ice
Depends on how well you pick up on stuff
remote lintel
because you only get a certain amount of insta heals every minute
and you have to decide what to use them on
oak ice
It is a lot more complex than white mage, but the game isn't designed to make you scratch bald spots in your hair
potent moth
Also, I know there's the reddit feed and the recruitment channel but is that a good idea (if you have watched a lot of guides) to jump into party finder for savage stuff?
oak ice
And there are lots of guides aimed at beginners to the various roles so if it's something you just can't figure out there are resources
remote lintel
yeah if you can get a newbie friendly group
also i jumped straight into ast as my first healer 
oak ice
You can set up your own party finder with a practice party and just tell people you're new to savage in general as they join, or put it in the description
potent moth
And I suppose it's faster as an healer or an tank?
remote lintel
party finder isn't a queue
subtle marten
oh wait pf?
remote lintel
duty finder is the queue
oak ice
Pretty irrelevant, since people see your listing and join as what is needed
remote lintel
^
oak ice
Like yes, tanks and healers are more likely to be filled last, but that's just how it is

so i know that when someone disappears from the dungeon but their name is still in the party window just grey'd that they DC'd, if someone completely disappears from the party but is still in game does that always mean they abandoned?

sometimes when they dc, they haven't fully disconnected from the game
it doesn't necessarily mean they intentionally shut down the game to d/c

Just a question before I finish my nexus - what are the objectives needed to unlock nirvana? for example I unlocked novus by finishing treasure maps, atma by gathering atmas, etc

the step after Nexus involves spending a lot of gil, a lot of poetics, and a lot of GC seals
twilit arch
gathering dungeon and crafted items

I have botany at 30, while weaving at 60. full on GC seals (50k)
will it be enough?
twilit arch

you need 80k gc seals
and the crafted mats are from all crafters but cul, so at min you need them to 50 (but even then would strongly recommend them to be higher so its easier to HQ them)

2 of them
the red ones are ilvl 460 and the blue ones are ilvl 490, which is better than the neo ish on the mb

You're now on the weekly tome grind. The good stuff is behind the weekly locked tomes.
The stuff from Phantasmagoria is a nice start but Allegory gear is what you're aiming for now.

Oof. Hmm... so in your opinion, do I need those 80 board gears as a stopgap or nah?

Personally I recommend just taking your time with Eden and tomestone, 5.3 is basically a catch up patch in the context of gearing dow/m

I’m not sure what eden is?

if you have a bunch of 80s tho you can buy them neo ish to save time

the second half of the eden raids is what gives 480 gear

warped nest
You can get enough from your lvl 80 dungeons and your two endgame tomestone
quartz pivot
But for my first msq push, updating to 80 gears isnt required yet
warped nest
Then you can do the copied factory / Eden gate normal (no limits on gear). Then Edenverse normal is the one Cerberus mentioned that drops 480
quartz pivot
All right, got it
remote lintel
as a quick ref:
430 - lvl 80 class gear
450 - eden gate raids
460 - copied factory/deepshadow gear
480 - neo ish/ eden verse raids
490 - crystarium
and 500 is eden savage
