housemaid.. is it seasonal?
faint flare
Astro only has a relic for heavensward, stormblood and Shadowbringers
thorny spruce
where to buy chocobo feather food?
tidal yarrow
alright!
faint flare
Heavensward relic starts in Idyllshire if you haven't done any yet, stormblood relic is in eureka which starts in stormblood and Shadowbringers relic starts in Kugane but requires the lv70 24man quest line done completely
median locust
and relics are separate so you don't need the Heavensward one to start the Stormblood or Shadowbringers one
remote lintel
if you're trying to do the HW relic for ast talk to Rowena in idyllshire
median locust
If you'd already started a HW relic then the quest will be in Azys Lla

Put it in a stable

Then you can feed it in there
faint flare
Stables, pretty much only housing districts
thorny spruce
i have to go districts?
faint flare
Getting a apartment or using your Stables at your free company house is the best way to do ot
Yes
faint flare
Then get a apartment, only 500k
Yes
Cause you need a house or apartment to use stables

A year and a few months probably
Can't know for sure with coronavirus delays but expacs are usually every 2 years and come out in the summer
last expac came out almost exactly a year ago

Until the coronavirus thing, this game followed a consistent unbroken schedule

In HUD Layout you have to switch to "In Duty" mode to see it, I'll see if I can find a pic to explain better

There's a checkbox for Duty in the hud layout window
remote lintel

In the HUD Layout window, you should see a few options to isolate certain HUD elements. Duty Actions are, yeah, in the Duty toggle.

If I decide to hire an extra retainer from the Mogstation will that additional fee be permanently added to my monthly subscription? Or can I hire the extra retainer, give the retainer all my crap I won't use soon, and then I can opt out of further use of the retainer

Yes to both. You can opt out with them still holding your stuff.

you will be billed monthly for the retainer

celest drift
Hello, I purchased FFXIV Complete Edition on Steam. Was it supposed to come with certain in-game items?
leaden ginkgo
Anyone wanna help me grind? Just trying to get my arcanist up to someone’s and then grind it out today. Figured asking for people to join could speed the process up
median locust
Complete Edition doesn't come with any items, no. You might be thinking of the Collector's Edition
celest drift
Gotcha, thank you.
magic light
as a warrior, i've had times where I'd just use storm'e eye right as the buff expires, how bad is this
magic light
so, it's fine if it drops for a brief moment?
faint flare
If the brief moment is very short yes, try to have it not fall off before you press Eye otherwise Eye wont be buffed by the damage
magic light
it feels like the animation of storm's eye takes longer to apply and that the rebuff feels as if it has fallen off already
little swift
Ideally you refresh when there is less than 7 seconds left on the buff
little swift
But if it drops for a millisecond its not the end of the world
faint flare
Damage is snapshotted and dealt when you press the button
little swift
You can start the refresh combo at like 6seconds till expiration and it'll refresh as you finish
leaden ginkgo
What data center and server should I choose, I am in the EU but I don't mind playing on NA if the server has a better community
I tried joined an EU server but it seemed empty
faint flare
Most people hang out in Limsa and end game hubs
All the servers are finr and well populated
simple shore
I cant speak for EU because....well, EU servers apparently have a tendency towards languages - but on NA literally just pick a preferred server on Aether or Primal DC (if you care about doing anything endgame later)
faint flare
The data centre is the major point as you can freely visit other servers on your data centre
median locust
Moogle has a big French community, Shiva has a big German community, other than that all EU servers will be predominantly English
afaik
leaden ginkgo
I see, thank you for the info guys, I think I'm going to join aether but I have a friend I want to play with on primal eventually
So that wouldn't be possible
faint flare
Then just do primal
median locust
First and foremost I'd pick the datacenter with your friends on it
faint flare

solemn delta
How do I change from walking to running on controller
median locust
Game can be played comfortably with up to 150-200 ping (arguably)
faint flare
By moving the control stick slightly
solemn delta
Having a mare
faint flare
Instead of all the way
simple shore
TL;DR if you're going to play on Aether, pick Siren. If you're going to play on Primal, pick Famfrit. As of right now.
Road to 70 is brokenly powerful
gloomy ice
Although the Numpad / toggle still works if your keyboard is connected.
little swift
You can use the !preferred Primal command in #kupo-bot-spam. To check what servers are preferred
remote lintel
how long would it take to change GCs and rank up again
remote lintel
i wouldn't have to retrain my squadron and redo all those missions and stuff?
gloomy ice
Realistically, a day or two. But you are locked in for 15 days before you can change again.
Squad progress keeps when transferring
remote lintel
so i would just need seals basically?
simple shore
You'd have to redo the two quests, i think, as well as the hunting logs.
Which, if you're high level, is a 5 minute task unsynced
little swift
You need to do flagged missions again
median locust
You have to unlock the squadron again, but once you get there you'll have the same squadron you had before afaik
little swift
Same squadron
leaden ginkgo
Where does indigo cloth drop from?
median locust
Zonureskin Treasure Maps
leaden ginkgo
I heard it was gilderskin now
median locust
where at?
leaden ginkgo
From other people
simple shore
Garland says Zonureskin, so i'll be trusting that
median locust
Didn't hear anything about the source changing
remote lintel
its zonureskin
median locust
If it did change, then pretty much every wiki forgot to update lol
leaden ginkgo
Ok thanks but it weird that some people said they got it from gilderskin
median locust
leaden ginkgo
And they said they ran zonureskin and never got it
remote lintel
it's rng
median locust
Then try gliderskin I guess
leaden ginkgo
This is confusing but thanks for helping
sour steppe
im like lvl 23 in behe. think its worth rerolling in famfrit for the exp bonuses?
remote lintel
if you really hate leveling that much then sure?
spare plinth
Since black mage is easy to learn but hard to master, is it considered not recommended for beginners?
remote lintel
the exp bonus is good for leveling multiple classes
spare plinth
Or is there a good rotation guide here that can ease fears
remote lintel
!faq blmleveling
zinc orbitBOT
median locust
Its rotation changes like every 20 levels so eh
simple shore
Road to 70 is well worth the reroll if you're that low
median locust
It stays relatively simple but it could get frustrating
simple shore
Because it applies to every class/job, including crafting/gathering, and lasts for over two months
median locust
If you wanna try out and level other classes, it's definitely worth
remote lintel
not over
sour steppe
ok interesting
median locust
90 days from character creation, more if the server stays preferred after that
so yes over
simple shore
Yes, definiely over
remote lintel
not necessarily over
faint flare
Its not mandatory but its helpful for staying ahead of the curve
simple shore
Absolutely definitely over
spare plinth
I can see from videos about how black mages during raids have to figure out where the boss carpets are while keeping an eye on thunder
sour steppe
how easy is it to lvl up another job later? i was lvling blm, but might try another class for fun when i reroll in prim, but go blm later on
median locust
It really isn't as bad outside of raids, I'll tell you that much
remote lintel
easy
spare plinth
So to you guys blm isn’t hard
median locust
BLM in dungeons stays relatively simple
It's hard to get good damage on it in endgame raids
remote lintel
it's only "hard" because people get confused about the rotations
spare plinth
But Kupo bot has a rotation guide on hand
remote lintel
yes
median locust
The rotation is easy, it's keeping it up when the game wants you to move all the time that's hard
which dungeons really don't
remote lintel
that too
spare plinth
So at best to practice side casting or xenoglossy at 80 if needed?
If you have shadow bringers?
remote lintel
you xenoglossy to keep your polyglots from overfilling
median locust
can practice slidecasting anywhere anytime as long as you have a target
You Xenoglossy if you're...
- waiting for a mana tick
- wanting to move
- wanting to weave in an oGCD
- wanting to burst something down really fast
- wanting to get damage under raid buffs
remote lintel
xenoglossy is a gcd
median locust
and save for Fouls in dungeons for the most part unless you're gonna overcap
spare plinth
The weaving thing looks complicated
gritty oyster
When does the characters creation limit reset?
faint flare
It isn't, blm doesn't have much to weave
remote lintel
weaving is just using skills in between your gcds
median locust
BLM just has less opportunities to weave than other jobs. Luckily it doesn't have many oGCDs
spare plinth
I think if I were to be black mage I should have a rotation guide with me just in case
median locust
!faq blmweaving
remote lintel
it's not that hard to memorize blm rotation
zinc orbitBOT
spare plinth
That’s it?
remote lintel
what level are you
median locust
If you need the optimal BLM guide for level 80, it's over here
http://akhmorning.com/jobs/blm/guide/intro/
Stuff will differ if you're not at least 72 though.
spare plinth
Oh I’m just wanting to see black mage how simple it is
I was thinking of having blm as a main
Or I could do bard
I’m still exploring
ember ingot
hey guys 😄 So I'm looking for a new FC in light Phoenix, how can I join one?
median locust
Basically, it's simple to play for most content. But going into raids or harder fights with it will be a brain workout
ember ingot
sorry if it's not related here
median locust
Whereas most other jobs don't have that much of a difference
remote lintel
then for blm at lvl 80 you use blizzard 3, enochian, blizzard 4, apply thunder dot, switch to fire, fire 4 spam, use sharpcast, triple cast, and ley lines as necessary, despair when you run out of mana, repeat, and use xenoglossy and foul as necessary
pale trellis
Does anyone still do the baldesion arsenal? I’ve had it unlocked for awhile but I’ve never done it. Is my best bet just watching a guide and hopping in to see if anyone is doing it?
faint flare
There's discords for it
Which is pretty much the only way you're gonna do it
Without basically being blacklisted by that community entirely
pale trellis
Alright, do you know what the discord is?
faint flare
Varies depending on data centre
The eurekan Explorer discord should have links to them all
Its in #resources
pale trellis
Alright, thank you!
tidal yarrow
the falling city of something is a dungeon?
median locust
Weeping City/Lost City?

Falling city of Nym is a Jump puzzle Gate

Then yeah, jump around, don't fall, gather the trophies, then get to the end for MGP
spare plinth
ogcd means the skills that doesn't cool down with the other main skills?
like for summoner, aetherflow is ogcd
median locust
yep
simple shore
ogcd means you can use it inbetween gcd's
remote lintel
basically
zinc orbitBOT
spare plinth
oh yeah cause when i was summoner my rotation is miasma, bio, energy drain, fester, ruin
agile laurel
sounds about right
try not to put over 2 oGCDs between gcds
basically, never delay your gcd
like if you went bio, energy drain fester painflare, random example, you'd have delayed your next gcd action
which you kinda don't want to do
worn scaffold
Hello just a question
How often do they remove the option to make a character in a specific server?
agile laurel
frequently. iirc it depends on the current active online population
worn scaffold
Siren is currently full I believe and I want my friend to join my server
worn scaffold
Should my buddy just chill for a bit then before joining a server?
agile laurel
have them try at off-peak hours
remote lintel
if you're trying to join a preferred server you should wait until like nobody is online
like 1 am
people are still on at 1 actually
worn scaffold
rip
median locust
If the server is currently full, you can't create a character, so yep. Wait until less people are online. Like 4-7am is the best time by far
steel anvil
if an item has desynth requirement of 80, do you have more chance to get a rare desynth item from it with max desynth vs 200? Or does it cap at some point based on desynth level required?
worn scaffold
I'll just send a message to everyone on Siren to log out 
gritty oyster
Does anyone know when character creation limit reset? Code 3026. I hit lock after creating and deleting characters i wasnt too happy with.
halcyon sleet
With 5.3 dropping soon, as a pretty new player trying to gear up my crafting, should I bother crafting the 460 facets or hold on with Professional+430?
obsidian patio
Depends on if you’re wanting to craft the new set of crafter/gatherer gear that’s very likely coming out in 5.3
And if the stats needed to craft it are low enough for professional+430 to make with that
lavish vortex
hi!, how do i set up my focus target bar like that? i have it activated on the HUD but its not showing up on my screen
wintry chasm
but not there by default
lavish vortex
oh great, thanks!!, and its gonna stay on that target through the entire fight unless i manually change it, right?
lavish vortex
@wintry chasm Thanks a lot!
dense pier
Do I get more exp desynthing sometihng close to my level, or so long as it's above my level it doesn't matter?
twilit arch
doesn't matter
halcyon sleet
And if the stats needed to craft it are low enough for professional+430 to make with that
Oh so the new pieces are expected to be crafted? I was worried id spend a bunch of time gathering and crafting only for it to be replaced by another white scrip equivalent
twilit arch
so long as the item is similar level or higher
barren flax
whats the point of the Stat materias and elemental materias now?

gritty oracle
Can I use ocean fishing to go 1-80 fsh? more importantly, should I?
austere dust
You can. But it's overall faster to just go fishing as is.
gloomy ice
1:1. The PS4 version functions more or less identically with M/KB. @frozen karma
spare plinth
with scholar, does nobody use selene
austere dust
Maybe do some leves. Just make sure to reel in HQ fish
gritty oracle
@spare plinth Fairies are purely cosmetic now.There's no difference between them.
median locust
Selene does exactly the same thing as Eos, it's whichever one looks the cutest lol
unique oasis
from #translations-and-liveletters "- a blue UI theme is in development, similar to the one from 1.X patches" - I seem to feel that I saw a screenshot of this. Did they ever show off a screenshot of it? Did they ever talk about which patch it might appear in or did they not say yet?
spare plinth
oh shadowbringers has eos and selene do the same thing, so it doesn't matter which fairy you can use to heal or eat
unique oasis
@spare plinth i pretty much only use selene
zinc orbitBOT
frozen karma
If I want to play on PS4 and PC, I need to buy the game on both but only subscribe once right?
unique oasis
yeah
sacred glacier
Archer/Bard Question: I know eventually as a Bard i will unlock a song gauge that will display resources/timers etc, does the song gauge also show when i've gained the "Straight Shot Ready" buff? I find it very difficult to see when it's active as the scrolling text goes by quickly and the icon that highlights is quite small.
median locust
Yep
unique oasis
guess so
median locust
Expansions included
gloomy ice
Right. Licenses are separate but the sub will cover both.
median locust
You'll also get a 2nd set of 30 free days if you're registering the starter edition to a new platform
marble drift
Retro you can move your active buffs window and change its size
so you can see Straight Shot Ready
alternatively. it will make your straight show glow with a dotted line
when the buff is active
spare plinth
i wonder what made scholar have eos and selene do the same thing in shadowbringer
nova umbra
don't these achievements become difficult/expensive if you're already at max level for all crafters/gatherers?
median locust
I guess to make it more straight forward
vagrant copper
Apparently pretty much everyone used one fairy so they just got rid of the other one
Or... made them the same
sacred glacier
i see the "dotted line" glow, but i kep my icons on the small side to preserve screen space. For increasing the buff size, will that increase all my buffs or can i choose to only increase that buff icon?
vagrant copper
Because cutscenes and plot
unique oasis
didnt SCH once not have an esuna / exalted detriment equivalent and therefore selene cured status ailments?
median locust
Selene was useful once in a while to get the recast speed buff
twilit arch
not really, usually its like the lvl 78-80 normal crafts (I.e dwarven stuff) that's asked for. which are pretty cheap turn ins usually @nova umbra
spare plinth
scholar doesn't have miasma anymore?
unique oasis
no, just biolysis
twilit arch
selene's AoE cleanse wasnt that useful
unique oasis
so nobody has information on the blue UI?
twilit arch
like fissie said, she was predominately used in the opener for fey wind
gloomy ice
@unique oasis Unfortunately not. What was mentioned in the LL is all we know.
unique oasis
i swear to god i thought i'd seen it
spare plinth
does always be casting only apply to black mages?
unique oasis
no
every single job, keep your gcd rolling
even the non-casters
thats what the sentiment behind always be casting means
you want to absolutely minimize any moment spent without the GCD on CD
i saw someone on reddit say they don't do expert roulette and instead cap their tomestones on hunts, they said it's very fast
does anyone have any information on this? anybody here who does this?
I'm curious to know more
I've never heard of anyone doing that before
twilit arch
find a hunt linkshell/discord
show up when a train is called
join a party
it takes like 2-3 full trains to cap out
unique oasis
i'm in my server's hunt linkshell but it's dead
twilit arch
find an active one
gloomy ice
Hunt trains take about half an hour and give 120 weekly tomes if you get full credit on all
unique oasis
as far as i know this is the active one
gloomy ice
3 trains and one expert will cap you.
unique oasis
only one player ever comments in it though
nova umbra
how do so many people have this achievement? I would think this would be really annoying to get...
unique oasis
dang that's pretty dank
twilit arch
its not really
if you don't care about xp or max seals, most of the time you can the items asked for from vendors to do it
be consistent with it every day, and viola you've got the achievement
also helps if you've been playing the game for a while
nova umbra
oh, most of the turn ins can be bought from NPCs?
twilit arch
yes
gloomy ice
Having all of the crafters and gatherers can help expedite the process as it counts total deliveries. Not just days.
twilit arch
most of the items requested (atleast for crafters) are normal crafts
obsidian patio
Only takes like 70 days of all 8 supply missions
median locust
Also ffxivcollect only tracks the achievements from people that made their achievements public. It's off by default afaik
So that skews the percentage a bit
obsidian patio
If you want a more time consuming one there’s doing WT for basically a whole year

The first three level 80 dungeons all drop 430 accessories. Can’t beat free. But it does take time.

obsidian patio
You’re probably better off running the first tier of Eden and greeding the accessory tokens

Neo-Ishgardian as a whole is pretty cheap on the marketboard
Most pieces of gear are between 40k-80k on the marketboard

Slightly increases the rate at which you gain desynth level. The rate is hidden so I’m not entirely sure what +30 means in relation to the growth rate but it speeds it up a bit yeah.

a bit or a lot?

@white sinew That’s exactly what it does.
obsidian patio
It’s a range of point gain

I’m just traumatized by dropping 2000+ on the full wrong set after HW 😭
Gotta get this info in my brain now
obsidian patio
@dense pier 50/60/70 roulette usually takes 15-20 minutes depending on the exact dungeon
And alliance raid is usually around 20 minutes
dense pier
So basically 1, maybe 2 dungeons in between each gather
obsidian patio
ARR ones can definitely be 20 minutes, but you’re right
Stormblood ones probably reach closer to 30
And HW are in between

Paladin vs Warrior which is more fun, i completely biased opinions.
remote lintel
ive never played either because they both looked boring to me
thats my 2 cents
technically i did play pally up to 50
thick bolt
Warrior is very basic, they have buff windows. Paladins have more going on with a 1 minute rotation
but in general tanks are boring as hell, imo
remote lintel
thick bolt
Come at me boring tank mains
Well actually I guess in ultimates tanks can be fun, they have a lot more going on but in normals hard and extreme they barely have anything going on and in savages some fights they may have something going on.
tardy tendon
i was trying to send a friend request and a tell message to someone but the game it's like doesn't recognize a player with that name
it says something like cannot locate a character with that name
remote lintel
did you include their home world name in the tell and are they in an instanced area
tardy tendon
@remote lintel i'm not sure about the instanced area cuz i was afk but the friend request i just right click on the name and then friend request

Is there any "bad" classes?
remote lintel
no

Pardon me, I was wondering, what is wrong with my tank pet? I'm a returning player, and my Topaz isn't holding ANY aggro.
faint flare
Cause it doesn't anymore

it doesn't anymore

it's kinda bad

it doesn't

....tank pet.... that doesn't hold aggro....

Its not a tank pet anymore
strange coral
It's a shield pet now
faint flare
Its a support with its shield
orchid stirrup
How's the shield work?
gloomy ice
Pets were retooled in 5.0. Topaz and Titan-egi are now support pets since pets can no longer be targeted by enemies.
faint flare
Use ir for 20% hp shield
agile laurel
basically garuda = trash ifrit = boss titan = holy fck can i not die
trash as in trash mobs btw
orchid stirrup
Titan is that good?
remote lintel
lol no
twilit arch
the shield is quite strong
faint flare
Defensive kinda
twilit arch
so if you need the survivability, he's worth using
faint flare
But its not very good as a pet in general
twilit arch
also he's good for burst AoE
remote lintel
you use ifrit most of the time
faint flare
Most the time you can generally kill stuff quick enough with ifirit
orchid stirrup
As every Dragoon floor tank will tell you! (I kid, I kid.)

what do these symbols mean?

@barren flax that means that piece of gear was bought off someone's mannequin

not really, it's still being sold off the retainer
barren flax
got it, thank you.
tepid kiln
Wait
I cant buy the shadowbringers dlc through steam if I have the base game outside steam?
proud willow
you cannot
tepid kiln
What if a friend buys it for me and gives me the activation code
dont I have toa ctivate it through mogstation?
proud willow
It won't work
tepid kiln
what the fuckkkkk why
faint flare
Because steam
lavish vortex
Does weapon condition affect performance?
faint flare
And licenses
junior yacht
only if it breaks
faint flare
If its broken then yes
proud willow
gear condition has no affect on stats until it reaches 0%
lavish vortex
That was my next question... haha if weapons can break...
faint flare
Everything can break
junior yacht
Broken gear effectively has zero stats, but is still equipped
lavish vortex
And even if broken, can it be repaired to 100%?
faint flare
Yes
junior yacht
yes
lavish vortex
Nice, thanks
faint flare
Repair npcs always repair to 100%
tepid kiln
Sooo I should buy the base game (again) for three euros more and always activate it through steam?
will I still have my character n stuff?
tepid kiln
WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK
faint flare
To use steam
proud willow
if you even whisper "ffxiv steam" to Google, the results will all be warnings from people that this is how it unfortunately works
and has always worked for as long as the game's been out
tepid kiln
what the hell

Licensing is weird sometimes 🤷♂️
proud willow
It's two different platforms. You can't buy a game on XBox and then use your PS4 save file
admittedly this is different, but it's not that out of the ordinary
timid urchin
can someone help me figure out my fps it either caps at 30 and uses 25% of my gpu or uncapped in the 200s and uses 100% of my gpu
also wanting to make a new character on any server and needing an fc it's been a long long time since I last played so I"m essentially new
tidal yarrow
you get to wait 90 days since the creation of the account to change server?
proud willow
Transfer is based on character age, and it's 90 days only if you created the character on a Preferred server
tidal yarrow
preferred server..? o:
rich bay
Or a new one ofc.
Or you transferred to a new or preferred server from a congested one.
proud willow
New and Preferred servers give a long-lasting XP buff to incentivize people to make characters there
so they don't want people to start there, get the benefit, and transfer off
tidal yarrow
oh never heard of that
crimson wind
It's because they check server population and try to attract people to them
tidal yarrow
is excalibur a preferred one? lol
crimson wind
no
tidal yarrow
damn sad
rich bay
@tepid kiln
It is because Steam takes the PC spot in your service account, so you can't use both PC and Steam versions. Also licence stuff and other things.
You can add the PC stand-alone version to steam as non-steam game to steam btw.
@timid urchin
Try the #technology-discussion channel for that question.
timid urchin
I actually figured out the fps thing just now lol need the second part to my question
rich bay
Ah, okay. Try the DC or server channels for that Ghost.
tepid kiln
@rich bay Wait what? If I add the PC stand alone version to steam as non steam game then the DLC would work?
Very confusing sentence, sorry english is not my first language
rich bay
No, you still need to buy the stand-alone DLC.
tepid kiln
then why would I do that
stable hinge
can I do a timeworn zonureskin map solo?
little swift
if youhave a windows based license, you cannot choose to switch to steam as you want to. if you have a steam based license, its the same thing
no hikari

And, it is nice yo note that steam remote play also works for many non-steam games, including FF14 afaik.

if you get a portal you need at least 3 people

Is the augmented crystarium chestpiece best in slot for DRK?
rich bay
We don't know why, but most likely on Valve's end and SQEX's end. Laws and licence stuff and all.....

There's no significant advantage nor disadvantage on either

I tried to access the shadowbringers dlc through the square enix page, it asked me to put my age and now I cant go through

How old do you have to be to buy this dlc

Wait, if FATEs (NM) rewards can be determined by enmity, can't I just spam Shield Lob (high threat)?

@dense pier , you need to damage the enemy to get rewards.
little swift
all the ranged attacks from tanks have enmity increase still
warped nest
Rewards are based on contributions
stable hinge
just checked the balance im more confused than I was before
rich bay
@tepid kiln
The age thing, is because several countries require it into law, so just legal stuff. Just enter your birthdate.
dense pier
Yeah but what is contribution
warped nest
They did, and it didn't work
little swift
not really sure why but its a thing. for fates enmity is one of the best ways to increase contribution
dense pier
^
warped nest
Damage, healing in party
little swift
though if you're doing NMs in Eureka, i'd just say go ham with damage if you can
or join a party
dense pier
Damage requires me to go into my rotation
I don't like joining parties, I'm pretty anti-social
tepid kiln
@rich bay I did enter my age. Now it tells me "Sorry, you may not access this page.
Click here to return to the main page"
dense pier
I essentially grinded 1-35 solo
little swift
if you join parties the contribution earned is more split
means you can do less work
warped nest
If you'd rather shield Lob for a whole gameplay session...
dense pier
Yeah but then I have to leave to go back to farming
rich bay
@dense pier
Enmity and damage. For Fates something else is also important, enmity among party members is shared.
little swift
just /shout LFG Inv 4 NM
dense pier
Sometimes I don't even get invites either
little swift
you can always look in PF too
rich bay
@tepid kiln
Use other browser and/or clear cookies.
dense pier
There is no PF in eureka?
rich bay
Nope.
There is a player list in Eureka, you can invite from there. But i don't really advice it
dense pier
Yup, just got gold spamming Shield Lob and oGCDs
I just don't like joining, leaving, rejoining, leaving. As well, sometimes (late in the evenings usually) people don't send invites because everyone's in the group and/or doesn't care to invite
So I just want to make sure I'm getting gold even if I want to slack a bit
little swift
just start your own party if you see a shout
dense pier
I did at times, yeah
noble ember
Can you add people as friends from another server
little swift
if they're on your datacenter yes
noble ember
Perfect! Thank you ~
Oh another question (my friends joining so wanna help them out and all), even if they dont have ex trials unlocked and arent 50 can they enter with me? I wanna farm the horse mount for them
Or they have to reach that part to enter.
faint flare
They need to unlock it
To enter
You cant bring people into duties they haven't unlocked
So they need to be 50 and do the unlock quest

I went fishing in Diadem and desynthed everything I caught. Didn't take too long to max CUL desynth that way but it is highly dependent on your patience for fishing.

With the steam sale, is picking up discounted Shadow on it going to work with an old version from the square store (had all expansions but shadow).
faint flare
No
stone hedge
Just worried about unforseen issues
gloomy ice
No. Steam and SE store are incompatible.
strong sphinx
What options do I have to find people for a clearing party, let‘s farming Memoria Misera? Because even tho the party finder states farm, it feels like people sneak in to practice
stone hedge
Dang so discount for both steam and ps4, but not even on their own store sale is it there yet. Ah well.
Thanks
strong sphinx
Did that almost in all cases, still the same problem :/
strong sphinx
I mean like, no options to find people outside of game?
faint flare
Some are good, others are bad
rich bay
Sato, you are from Shiva on the Light DC?
faint flare
I mean i guess you can use recruitment channels here
strong sphinx
Yeah
rich bay
little swift
that is the nature of PUGs unfortunately. Especially since the fight is lenient enough for someone to coast on by doing minimally
zinc orbitBOT
rich bay
Normally it is not difficult to find clear parties for EX trials.
Maybe it is the time, it is 23:13 ST on that server, that means most players are asleep or relaxing.
strong sphinx
Yeah, I mean, i know mentality behind joining instances as pugs from wow and gw2 raids but just wondering where i else to look for people haha
rich bay
I use a little trick for such things.
What i sometimes do is making a PF and link it in serveral big cities, stating: "Does someone wants to help clear ..........? <pfinder>"
@strong sphinx 
But the current time is also an issue now on the EU servers.
It is night on thise servers, in real life i mean. So not many are online.
strong sphinx
Oh, ok i should check that option too then
little swift
i often find clear parties are more successful than farm parties. but this is anecdotal and isn't representative of actual results
rich bay
Same here for EX trials i mean.
strong sphinx
Are there any discords hubs for finding people to raid with? No directly something longterm, but maybe form a party that farms the trials for quite some time
Oh i meant farming, yeah
little swift
you also have to consider how late into the tier this is. most of the people who wanted to farm it did so in the first couple weeks of teh release of the fight
strong sphinx
that makes sense
dense pier
How come Cassie Earring is regarded BIS? Can it be overmelded? Just looks like normal stats to me besides the +haste.
rich bay
This discord has Datacenter channels, you can try there.
But Channy is right on that one.
I did actually a clear run of Ruby EX today.
dense pier
Is +3 haste that noticeable?
rich bay
Haste +3 is a 0.6s gCD reduce.
crimson wind
Wait Cassie is BIS?
dense pier
Holy
crimson wind
I have it
faint flare
For eureka
dense pier
0.6s off, that's wow

Is Ruby EX something I should check out? I am currently 480 on drk, whm & drg

No wonder it auctions for 14mil

If you want the mount from it

@dense pier just farm cassie lmao
strong sphinx
Ohhh! Ok
crimson wind
Ruby Weapon drops i480 weapons
@faint flare they're i485
rich bay
Sato, you can check it out. There are more players willing to do Ruby EX, because of the mount.

Yes, i485

Point stands

Yup. Relics are better most of the time.

the fastest way to Gangos is via doman enclave tp and then airship?

Take the aetheryte

I don't see any aetheryte in Gangos tho
rich bay
Ceberus, it is really an airship.
faint flare
In doman enclave
next wind
oh okay
rich bay
Doman Emclave has the option.
crimson wind
I use Ruby GNB weapon over Crownsblade because I don't have good materia and Crownsblade replaces Ruby's crit with tenacity
Or was it vit?
faint flare
Just melding the relic with any materia in every slot is just better
next wind
thx
faint flare
More substats
crimson wind
I like my crit
rich bay
The GNB Allegory weapon is better right?
faint flare
Particularly
next wind
if I like the look of my 80lv relic for one glamour plate but not the other, is it possible to get 2x of them and put one into the dresser?
rich bay
Or does that have Tenacity too, can't remember.
faint flare
Crystarium unaugmented is either on par or slightly better by a few points
remote lintel
use the relic replica?
crimson wind
Nope it has crit
little swift
you can get more than one relic if you have the thavnairian sand
crimson wind
little swift
just put one into your chocobo saddlebag if you want
crimson wind
...it does have some vit
next wind
awesome thanks
little swift
however you cannot dump relics into the glamour dresser
faint flare
Everything has vit
crimson wind
Really?
crimson wind
Wao
next wind
really? 😮 how do people glamour older relics onto their new weapons then?
little swift
they buy the replicas
remote lintel
replicas
rich bay
Yup, because the Cyan materia were retired (Main stat materia) in 5.0.
little swift
or they just use glamour prisms
faint flare
No cause its only the first step
crimson wind
Actually Ruby Sawback has more crit
faint flare
So nothing to really replicate
crimson wind
Same Vit but lower det
next wind
to exchange crystals for materia where is the npc in limsa? somewhere near calamity salvager?
faint flare
Relic has more substats in total. Especially since you can basically get all the crit back
And materia is dummy easy to get
remote lintel
there are no materia vendors outside of shb zones
faint flare
Unless you've only hit 80 recently, you'll bound to get/have a massive stash of materia
Game throws it at you

are there any other consumables I can use along with food to buff my stats when crafting?
nova umbra
oh so they're like tinctures?
faint flare
Yes
nova umbra
nice, thanks :>
faint flare
They buff 1 stat for 15mins
gloomy ice
Tea and syrup count as medicine, yeah. Stacks with food nicely but lasts much shorter than food.
crimson wind
How much money do I need to start crafting
gloomy ice
In theory nothing. But having gil to sink can make things a lot less painful
obsidian patio
Depends on how much you rely on vendors/marketboard for equipment and materials
crimson wind
I have 60k
nova umbra
you'll need millions and millions
crimson wind
I'll just gather
nova umbra
you have to take into consideration gear too
crimson wind
Can't I just use gear from job quests?
obsidian patio
You won’t get enough gear
faint flare
Those are few and far between after a point
crimson wind
mmk
next wind
would you use last materia with +20 crit or put 60 DH?
faint flare
DH
crimson wind
60 dh
obsidian patio
60 DH
next wind
ok thanks
faint flare
losiw 40 points os bad
crimson wind
if it was 60 crit you'd slot the crit
faint flare
If its a few points like 2 then its ok

alright thanks

neo ishgardian NQ and HQ - big difference or no? ilvl is the same

Always go for HQ

do not get neo ish NQ
faint flare
NQ gear is essentially -50 ilvl
next wind
I've got a cap and and the earring nq (didn't realise when bought)
remote lintel
hopefully wasnt too expensive
little swift
NQ is not worth it for gear
remote lintel
wait they changed the prices for cash shop mounts?
oh nvm
fat moogle mount is the only one that costs more than the others for some reason
obsidian patio
It’s a 2-seater
remote lintel
ah right
twilit arch
no fat moogle is inline with the other two seater account bound mount
obsidian patio
Other one is... the whale?
twilit arch
Yes
remote lintel
yeah i saw
twilit arch
the only one that breaks really any of the pricing is SDS fenrir
Being a single person, account bound mount
remote lintel
makes sense
twilit arch
but the fact that it was fanfest goodie, it makes sense
obsidian patio
Also the default story speed boost
remote lintel
det
obsidian patio
The physical ranged DPS basically want 0 SkS
next wind
thx
obsidian patio
DNC especially so, pretty sure MCH doesn’t want it either, not too sure for bard.
next wind
I never meld SkS, but some pieces of items come with it
it does mess up my rotation a bit annoyingly
remote lintel
sks is important for tanks
next wind
wanna hear a joke
obsidian patio
Looks like BRD wants 2.48 to pull off a Pitch Perfect for the last second or so for Wanderers? Don’t see anything else about SkS for them though
next wind
I was wearing a normal nei ishgardian earrings and my retainers had HQ lool
really shouldn't be doing these things after playing for 10+ hours..
thanks guys
remote lintel
i don't think you need that high ilvl for retainers
next wind
nah, but to reach 430 it was the best price
and I couldn't be bothered with grinding 430-450ilvl gear
wintry chasm
I mean, job gear would have done most of it
next wind
that's what I did, job gear and then whatever right side I had/could get using phanta, the missing ones I just bought neo ish
as it was not that expensive, like 30-40k a piece
but coming back to the question, so even if ilvl of NQ is the same as HQ - the stats make a huge difference then?
leaden ginkgo
How can i check how much DPS Im doing? or vs my party members as well?
twilit arch
so in general, ESPECIALLY at end-game, you should not be using NQ gear
next wind
okay last question I promise... I'm ready to venture into crafting xD which one would you say is the most efficient/effective to level esp if I have 80lvl miner? I'm thinking armorer
rich bay
There is a 3rd 2-seater you can "buy", the Ceremony Chocobo via the Gold or Platinum wedding plan.
twilit arch
should be doing crafters together
next wind
isn't that gonna take 10x longer and 10x more expensive?
twilit arch
alchemist and culinarian are the only two that are largely "independent" of the rest
