next raid tier isnt 5.4

silver ruin
crimson wind
oh
crimson wind
fuck yeah
little swift
its probably doable dependent on your skill (obviously)
silver ruin
^
little swift
but a more realistic window is likely more like before 5.4 (with lots of leeway) since it likely depends on your e8s prog
Light Rampant looks mega confusing to me
crimson wind
i guess thats why I'm doing this?
gloomy ice
@frozen karma It depends on the mouse you're using. Quite a few don't support it but I am aware that at least two Logitech models allow you to configure them on PC first and have them retain settings even on PS4.
little swift
yes i am aware teh guides are a thing, but experiencing them =/= to reading the guide
crimson wind
ugh
So the BiS this patch should be BiS next patch yes?
Since next tier isn't until .4
silver ruin
yea
gloomy ice
Yeah, odd numbered patches hold BiS. It's the evens that change things.
silver ruin
when you're consistently hitting enrage, yes
crimson wind
Ok
silver ruin
before that and just progging?probably not
crimson wind
How long should reclears take?
silver ruin
depends on the group, might have a couple of wipes at first but its w/e
little swift
also people are humans. they can still often have bad days where things just don't click and you just do awful
silver ruin
^
crimson wind
Also UwU was .4 right?
gloomy ice
Yeah iirc
crimson wind
And they're working on an ultimate yeah?
gloomy ice
This expansion's second Ult isn't until .5 though
slate crow
I’m not sure how to ask this, but do any Bard skills upgrade? Like the skill changes into another skill instead of taking up a slot. Like how Rage of Halone becomes Royal Authority for Paladins.
crimson wind
The DoTs upgrade
gloomy ice
Yeah your DoTs get upgrades
crimson wind
So does Heavy Shot
obsidian patio
Straight shot too
crimson wind
Oh yeah Straight becomes Refulgent
slate crow
Gesundheit
gloomy ice
Anyway, yeah, there were three ults on the drawing board this time but they bailed last minute for reasons unexplained. Only thing mentioned further is that the second ult isn't coming until 5.5. @crimson wind
crimson wind
Three? Goddamn
leaden ginkgo
uwu was 4.3
crimson wind
mmm gonna get chopped by Ravana
now I'm thinking of a cooking show featuring Ravana
leaden ginkgo
they also meant to do 3 ultimates in sb but one got canned for BA
crimson wind
What could they bring back from ARR for a 3rd ultimate in SB tho?
leaden ginkgo
and according to yoship the feeling he got from ucob feedback was "don't tell me we have to prog one of these every savage tier"
crimson wind
I guess Odin, Ramuh, Leviathan, and Shiva?
leaden ginkgo
There's not actually a rule for what they remix to make an ultimate
crimson wind
I thought it was 2 expacs back
leaden ginkgo
they could have made nidhogg or triad or thordan if they wanted
gloomy ice
Do note that the first ult that was conceived was just Titan by himself. So we have no idea what goes into this or how they're selected.
crimson wind
I mean both SB raids were 2 expacs back
obsidian patio
They basically look at content that the playerbase historically saw as super tough/difficult.
leaden ginkgo
they've followed a pattern so far but they've said in interviews that they're not bound by it
crimson wind
I don't personally think that making a throwback from only 1 expac back wouldn't spike any nostalgia
But I'm a filthy noob who only started playing this patch, what do i know about nostalgia
ornate vortex
i'm guessing castrum meridianum is the most effective way to get tomestone of poetics?
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
msq roulette is a large chunk yes
but there are more "efficient" methods
!faq poetics
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
dungeons that you can spam for a decent poetics amount are Aetherochemical Research Facility or Ghimlyt Dark if you ahve those
ornate vortex
don't have them yet, since i'm not 60 yet
why is it called msq roulette?
also thx for the info
gloomy ice
MS roulette picks either Castrum Meridianum or Praetorium at random. You get even more poetics than a normal run and a huge exp bonus if you're at or near level for it.
visual grotto
Good day.
It seems one may get free items by entering a referal (recruit a friend) code.
Is it advised to do so and search for one, or are the gains from it minimal?
little swift
if you are the one giving out a referral, you get access to a bunch of cosmetic bonuses
if you are the referred then you get some silver chocobo featehrs which can be used to purchase some previous expansion endgame gear
visual grotto
I would like to enter one, just bought the game
ornate vortex
ty again
visual grotto
it seems then even if i dont get much out of it, i can help someone get stuffs, so this is fine by me
gloomy ice
And regardless of who is referring or was referred, both get extra bonus for the referred person's total sub time. Such as an EXP boosting gear piece and a two-person mount.
little swift
you can maybe try r/ffxivRAF to see if there are codes around that you can enter
or maybe someone will dm you a code
visual grotto
okay, thank you very much for your help
might you know where i can ask to find such a code?
(it seems to me that this isnt the right channel for it)
oh, thank you
edit: found one
floral halo
im kinda new player and i was wondering something
2 servers in my realm says there's exp boost for new players
i already have a lv39 character on an another server already
is it beneficial to start on boost server?
obsidian patio
I'd only say so if you're planning on leveling up crafting classes somewhat early, which I generally don't recommend doing due to gil cost
floral halo
i dont really wanna rush on crafting and stuff
but i wanna level few classes to tryout
mostly scholar, astrologian, dancer and red mage
and maybe ninja idk
obsidian patio
You can probably get back to where you were in the story somewhat quick with skipping cutscenes and dialogue you already went through
along with remembering how to do stuff and where to go.
floral halo
im jsut wondering how big of a boost is it
obsidian patio
If you go for it and are on PC, I recommend copying your player data so you can save your hud and keybindings
+100% bonus on all forms of experience gain for each class until 70.
floral halo
so its doubled
gloomy ice
After other bonuses as well.
floral halo
bonuses like what
obsidian patio
!faq armouryexp
zinc orbitBOT
gloomy ice
Meaning a +50% bonus becomes a +100% and so on.
gloomy ice
It’s a very powerful buff yeah
gloomy ice
Uhhhhhhhhh that I don’t remember off hand. Wynne halp 😅
simple shore
There's a couple ways of going about that
Assuming you're on PC, anyway. I have no idea how console does anything.
You can do this thing here on the launcher after clicking the gear in the top left -
Or.....if you can determine which folder in C:\Users[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn is the one for the character that has everything on it, you can just copy its contents to the folder for the new character - or move it to another computer as is if its the same character just being used on another PC.
simple shore
Yeah already got that covered, lol
floral halo
thanks ill try in a bit
simple shore
Grab the loose files from there as well - especially macrosys.dat and ffxiv.cfg

Hey everyone, is there a way to know how much exp is left in a gatherer's grace buff ?
jaunty jay
nope
normal timber
Ok, thank you anyway ^^
old flame
allright; I've managed to pretty much bankrupt myself trying to get a DOH class up.. Whats good ways to make some gil again without playing the market
gritty oracle
gathering and getting your own ingredients
median inlet
Finally made it to Heavensward. Should I continue with the story or finally get a second class?
gritty oracle
also @old flame I recommend doing all disciples of the hand/land together, so you can always farm ingredients for your crafts and make stuff that only other crafters can (like nuggets and ingots, cloths etc). Also, Firmament. You'll only require one non-Diadem mat for doh recipes and the xp you get from the diadem and collectable turn-ins is frankly ridiculous
thorny spruce
So far, Matoya is my favourite npc
gritty oracle
@median inlet Honestly, neither the msq nor other classes are going anywhere, so whichever you want. That being said, after the grind and the final gut-punch cutscene, you may want to take a breather from the msq, which is just politics upon politics in really early HW.
thorny spruce
I wish i could change my appearance to elder
gritty oracle
you can use your fantasia to toy around with your facial features to make yourself appear older
most non-core npcs are built with the same character creation tool we get
they rarely have any custom features, and if they do, it's usually either their gear or their hairstyle.
median inlet
I used my Fantasia but haven't used it via selection yet so it's just sitting there in the menu
median inlet
Would #archived-lore-spoilers be a good chat to discuss my questions for what I just saw?
gritty oracle
@ornate mango You can take the scions with you in ShB dungeons
yes it would

gritty oracle
Lamia this is #questions-and-help please stay on topic
pulsar wren
Is SMN still the hardest class? I used to main DRG/MNK, looking for a new challenge
pulsar wren
I have fun playing the piano 😋
pulsar wren
So you like bard then see
gritty oracle
I only picked it up at 70, so I think it's very hard, but if I actually spent some time whacking my rotation away at a training dummy, I'd get into it fairly quick
thorny spruce
ninja when im using keyboard, dragoon when im using controller
pulsar wren
😅 I will try them out then, its just a pain to lvl them all up, and POTD doesnt actually give me a class feeling
thorny spruce
is there a way to UNLEARN a job? I accidentally learned dark knight and i hate it
gritty oracle
I'd say if you wanna do summoner, then level as summoner. Don't take the shortcut with the instant queues of scholar. You'll get to 70 and look at your very unfinished kit (you get a solid half of your abilities from class quests) and go "what"
like me
then I became a scholar main instead because I came to actually really like the job.
pulsar wren
The question was just is it still the hardest class?
warped nest
Just read guides and practice... I don't see the issue with getting a high level summoner
thorny spruce
i know the easiest job is bard
warped nest
It is not unlike getting a lvl 60 GNB or DNC
thorny spruce
also the one who dies first in frontline
warped nest
Summoner is not hard
thorny spruce
not until level 70 you can summon an Aeon
warped nest
Just need to track your Egi assaults / Ruin IV, and your DWT/Bahamut cooldown
gritty oracle
Depends on your definition of "hard" tbh. I find it very hard because you gotta manage like 3-4 different resources at once, do cooldowns, manage trances, aetherflow, egi assaults and dots. It's a bunch of cmall but mostly separate systems.
inner geyser
Hello i want to start playing is it worth it on ps4?
gritty oracle
yes
pulsar wren
@inner geyser yes
warped nest
Ehhhhhh
pulsar wren
Load times are just longer on ps4
gritty oracle
Lamia please. Thatwas not their question
thorny spruce
get a $1200 pc to play ffxiv lol
warped nest
The game works fine on PS4, the biggest gripe is text typing
thorny spruce
@gritty oracle don't stress yourself on me
gritty oracle
I heard most ps4 players just use a kb for typing
noble ember
Is there a comprehensive list of all merch from SE that comes with redeemable ingame reward codes for FFXIV?
pulsar wren
You can get an atachable kb for controller
warped nest
I use the ps4 software keyboard, it is functional
inner geyser
Whats the max level and how long it takes to cap?
gritty oracle
80, a long time if you do the msq properly (no skipping cutscenes, no unsyncing dungeons/trials)
pulsar wren
Get a 10€ bluetooth kb lol
thorny spruce
i can never understand the conversion of pounds to cad
noble ember
Also worth noting you dont need a keyboard to text on ps4! You can use your phone and the official playstation app as a makeshift keyboard if youd rather that!
thorny spruce
or just spam emotes till they walk away
warped nest
50 is the cap for XIV starter Edition (aka A Realm Reborn)
80 is the cap the latest expansion Shadowbringers (this include previous expansions too)
pulsar wren
noble ember
^^^
gritty oracle
but there's a ton you can do below max level. Dungeons, raids, extreme trials, these all can be done below may level
pulsar wren
Dont ask me if they are comfortable I dont know
gritty oracle
this game isn't designed to rush you to 80. You're supposed to take it slow and enjoy the story.
thorny spruce
that controller looks sweet but aint it hard to grip a controller with built in keyboard?
warped nest
If you are only typing short sentences, the PS4 software keyboard will work.
Even then, you can get away with XIV with minimum typing
pulsar wren
As mentioned just use the ps4 app on phone
inner geyser
Thanks
pulsar wren
ARR - 50
Heavensward - 60
Stoormblood - 70
Shadowbringers - 80
gritty oracle
all "expansion caps" (50, 60, 70, 80) have endgame content in them because at some point they were endgame.
except ARR raids because they're funky and nobody ever does them synced
stoic nacelle
Guys I have a question, in my service account I have base game and all the expansions. I got the PS4 base game when they give it for free and I was wondering how does it work. I can link it on my service account this I know but how it works with the character I already have on the pc?
Especially considering I don't have last expansion
On ps4
lime geode
What's the end game content for ARR?
gritty oracle
ps4 and pc are separate
stoic nacelle
You can't have both in one service account?
pulsar wren
No
warped nest
You can access your PC characters on your PS4, but seeing that your PS4 doesn't have expansion
There are limitations on which characters you can use on PS4
stoic nacelle
Oh..
old flame
does ff14 have anything like the wow token for basically turning real money into gil?
stoic nacelle
That I guessed but they still share same account service meaning I still have limits of 8 for entry sub
warped nest
Nope
pulsar wren
No
old flame
darn
stoic nacelle
And they still share sub right?
pulsar wren
@old flame money in ffxiv is kinda meh anywah
warped nest
Subscription is on your account
warped nest
PC and PS4 are your license to play this account
gritty oracle
raids - the coils of bahamut, really good Calamity lore and features the Levellieur twins heavily. You can't really get this in duty finder because it's like a beta test for raids and is so "weird" they didn't put it into the roulette. Better ask friends or your FC to unsync it with you.
alliance raids - the crystal tower, everyone and their mothers do them nowadays because it's mandatory for 5.3 msq. It's good Allag lore and directly ties in to the story of Shadowbringers, I really really recommend doing it.
Extreme trials - basically the normal trials you've been doing, Ifrit Titan Ramuh moogle kind shiva, but way harder. People don't usually do this synced though.
@lime geode
stoic nacelle
Ok thank you, wanted to use the PS4 cuz my laptop kinda overheats but ye damn I don't have shadowbringer on ps4

molten spruce
why is everyone everywhere seem to be afk wtf
lime geode
Cool - thanks. I'm at the end of ARR and was curious
molten spruce
nobody moves not even in a single city
pulsar wren
@molten spruce becouse they mostly are
gritty oracle
i recommend doing at least bahamut and the crystal tower. Extreme trials don't have much story in them, they're just the fights.
pulsar wren
@molten spruce you pop a queue and wait for it to start, thats it 😋
gritty oracle
extreme trials people do for th mounts, unique crafting materials and cool looking weapons
inner geyser
Ps4 offers a bundle with 50 euro is it full game?
pulsar wren
Yes, everything
molten spruce
complete edition its called
inner geyser
And membership?
molten spruce
1 month

Kk
So if i buy a ps4 bundle and make an account i can log on pc too?
With the same acc
gritty oracle
nope
molten spruce
as long as its the same acc
gritty oracle
oh right
molten spruce
idk if you have to buy again on pc thoi
old flame
Huh. Apparently you "can" buy gil...or rather you can buy the Tales of Adventure.
lime geode
Thanks @gritty oracle - I'm on the quest right now to get my relic weapon, so that's taking up most of my time. I'll check out those other dungeons though.
molten spruce
how long did it take you guys to complete the msq?
pulsar wren
Reading and wstching all cutscenes
old flame
so many fetch quests..I'm not sure there is a ending to the msq..they just keep getting you to run errands...
old flame
yea.. I figured. I'm honestly done with the bloody dungeon grind to get there; even though I know I'm close..I just bought the darn skip.
11 bucks for sanity
gritty oracle
@lime geode Your zodiac weapon? Just a fair warning, those are kind of worthless as actual gear. You'r ebetter off getting your ironworks gear. Old expansion relics are only really good for glamour.
ornate vortex
in my case it took me about 50-60h and i watched all the cutscenes @molten spruce
grim adder
Are the ARR relic weapons more tedious then heavenswards?
gritty oracle
yes
arr relics are the most tedious
@molten spruce It's mostly to teach players the game's mechanics like how to pick up items, attack enemies, learn about materia etc
it'll get better in hw
floral halo
is it possible to send gil between your characters on different servers?
jade quartz
Materia was introduced to you in the main story at around level 20.
molten spruce
oof i must have skipped something
molten spruce
how do i get em?
jade quartz
Not really important until max level
The traditional way is by extracting materia from a piece of gear after filling up its spiritbonding gauge.
old flame
I'm learning quickly that you should do any of the blue quests
it usually leads to SOMETHING
molten spruce
all blue quests unlock something
jade quartz
At endgame you also have other options to trade in commonly-found tokens for materia you need.
molten spruce
this game is complrx
old flame
they don't really tell you that in game though
molten spruce
how do i level crafting
old flame
which sorta pisses me off a little..but I guess I"m more used to wow handholding.
zinc orbitBOT
rich bay
@floral halo
Only if they are on the same DC and via another player. (Or multibox the game with 2 accounts.) So you need help.
jade quartz
This game honestly handholds plenty hit people skip it
rich bay
Just make some friends in game and they will help you Ishido.
floral halo
when do i get access to hunting log btw?
obsidian wren
Once you complete your level 5 class quest iirc
rich bay
@molten spruce
By crafting stuff?
When you complete a craft you get EXP, the first completion of a craft gives bonus EXP.
Ishgard Restoration is also a very good way but that requires completion till the middle of post-HW.
warped nest
For lvl 1-15, just do all the recipes once
You can get them done with materials purchases from the respective crafting guilds

split flower
Any EU people here play on NA or vice versa?
sour steppe
how do u kno what stats u get when you extract materia from a gear piece? should i just not extract materia til endgame?
obsidian wren
i used to play on na as european
its random haze, extracting doesn't destroy the gear anymore
it just resets the spiritbond back down to 0%, so it's pretty much free materia now
sour steppe
i should just do it whenever a gear is at 100% then?
obsidian wren
yeah
split flower
Did you have many issues with latency?
floral halo
is there a auto run key?

obsidian wren
there a faq for ishard restoration?
sour steppe
is there a way to switch active hotbars?
obsidian wren
there are cycle through hotbar keys you can bind in the system keybinds
are you playing on pc or controller?
sour steppe
pc
obsidian wren
i'd advice just adding extra hotbars then
for example i'm using 3 hotbars on my paladin so i can easily access all skills
sour steppe
ye i need to rebind. ctrl+num keys are annoying
sour steppe
im sub lvl 40 blm, so i dont need that many keys yet. jsut alternating between single target and aoes
was thinking of hotbar 1 for single target. switch hotbar for aoes
obsidian wren
i'd personally still recommend just having multiple hotbars with seperate keybinds, but if you feel like that would work for you you can always give it a shot
also keep in mind that you will need at least 3 hotbars on a class
sour steppe
yee might as well get used to it now
steep isle
Certain classes need some skills that flow into AoE
Like SAM, so you'd be swapping hotkey left and right
obsidian wren
im too smallbrain for this
how does diadem work
tried using the map faq but it dont tell me where to get the stuff i need 😔
tidal yarrow
does shield bash stun a single target or an area?
like 3 targets together if they're near each other
frozen karma
I'm trying to get used to PS4 controls, why does the game un-target every time I do an attack?
tidal yarrow
I had the same problem
when you lock in press then X to hard lock
I think it's the solution I did that way
frozen karma
nice
tidal yarrow
I got told it's useful o:
obsidian wren
it uses up a gcd so it loses you damage and breaks your combo
low blow is sufficient in most cases
wintry chasm
^
Using shield bash would kinda be this super niche moment when you might want to stun two things at once
Which doesn't really happen?
obsidian wren
maybe sometimes when you do a big pull
but most of the time you can move slightly out of the way and still hit most if not all enemies
frozen karma
how do you auto run on console?
wintry chasm
Move and press L1
calm vortex
hi, may i know which class gets the exp from when i do pvp, the class i enter with or the class i end with?
obsidian wren
the class you enter with
calm vortex
thx
wintry chasm
When did that get changed?
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian wren
its been that way for a long time i believe
wintry chasm
Has it? Feels like only a couple patches ago though I guess that is a long time
wintry chasm
I want to say it's random which of the two loot tables you get from the specific nodes
I certainly haven't heard of anything suggesting it not being random
steel wedge
I’m guessing with all flying areas unlocked in HW the post content goes quick huh?
wintry chasm
Post content isn't nearly as long as the ARR one anyway
obsidian patio
the nodes work like a giant loop
wintry chasm
It's 44(?) quests
obsidian patio
there's a starting node and when you gather that it spawns the next one in the sequence
I think each set is like 4-6 nodes before it loops back to the original one?
wintry chasm
!faq diademmap
zinc orbitBOT
wintry chasm
Says 8
obsidian patio
I think the outer rim of nodes is clockwise too?
I remember seeing another version of the map that showed the flow of the nodes.
obsidian wren
the nodes just seem to respawn on the same island
what do you mean with the sequence?
wintry chasm
(I didn't do much Diadem tbh so I didn't quite get it)
tidal yarrow
I got advised to change from legacy to the other one (I'm mouse keyboard) but I'm struggling with it
obsidian wren
what are you having trouble with?
tidal yarrow
is legacy that bad so I should try to get used to standard?
jade quartz
Legacy is more popular
tidal yarrow
idk always played with legacy and now the movement feels so weird and uncomfy
obsidian wren
if legacy works for you you should use legacy
jade quartz
people often get the names confused
jade quartz
"Standard" is character-based movement--you can turn the camera, but your character will keep running in one direction if you hold down W. This is the version that has the "slow back-pedaling" which is what people dislike.
obsidian wren
on console you can have trouble with lookaway mechanics or otherwise turning slowly to move the other way so legacy is better there
jade quartz
"Legacy" is camera-based movement--pressing W makes you move away from the camera's perspective, regardless of what way your character was facing. This one has fast running backwards.
Legacy is possibly more intuitive. Standard is basically the control scheme which most MMOs use.
tidal yarrow
so none is better but preference tho?
jade quartz
Yeah
For standard, to turn around quickly you have to do a fast 90- or 180-degree camera swing
For legacy you just press S
wintry chasm
on console you can have trouble with lookaway mechanics or otherwise turning slowly to move the other way so legacy is better there
Console....turning slowly?
obsidian wren
don't think you can flick the stick to do an insta 180 with controller right?
wintry chasm
You can literally just do analogue stick down and character will 180 instantly
It won't move the camera instantly but you usually don't have to
jade quartz
That's provided you're not on standard controls though isn't it
wintry chasm
I never used standard controls on controller ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@boreal aurora w8 does that actually work?
ornate vortex
is there are reason that a level 50 main quest sends you to a level 35 dg?
talking about rock-solid protection quest, which takes you to sunken temple of qarn
jade quartz
That's just how it be
Weirdness from being one of the first patches that came out for the game
and Qarn is an optional unlock before that point.
Likely that particular quest will get trimmed with the upcoming trimming of the post-ARR patch quests
ornate vortex
oh thx, well at least i have a reason to make a healer class then(i'm summoner, so the healer class jumps to 50 anyway)
jade quartz
You should be able to unsync Qarn.

quick question, if im leveling a secondary combat class, can i use trust before lv 71? or 71 is the min req?
zinc orbitBOT

Trusts are currently only available in ShB dungeons
The lowest-level dungeon in ShB has a level requirement of 71

Fyi quick synth cant fail anymore provided you hit the minimum required stats to craft it

Can anyone help me out? Im new player, just finished maxing all 3 gather, cooking and cooking desynth.

What is the take on monk? I heard it's lacking in SB and I want to try it but don't want to if it's lacking vs dragoon which I also want to try
forest laurel

if you have a good tank who understands monk positions they are very strong
faint flare
Monk is good functionally but design wise it conflicts itself
azure kettle
Oh yeah I heard that buff where you stand still?
faint flare
Yrs Anatman
azure kettle
For like 30secs?
faint flare
Purely downtime skill
To maintain stacks
But form shift does that for you
So Anatman is now purely for using Tornado kick prior to boss jumps so you can Anatman back your stacks
jade quartz
Form shift does not keep your stacks.
faint flare
It refreshes GL
When form shifting from courel to opo opo
It was a QoL thing they did in like 5.05
Or something
jade quartz
Oh yeah 😔
jade quartz
Six-sided Star is a similar case
MNK gets no truly notable skills from 60 onwards
So a lot of people find the gameplay disappointing or jank.
Balance-wise its numbers are perfectly good.
stable hinge
what a good crit number to have for a DRK?
oak ice
There's no cap you can realistically reach so just keep stacking
jade quartz
After you have desired skill speed, meld as much crit as you can.
indigo orbit
I think it's like enough SkS to be able to easily get 5 bloodspillers in the blood weapon/delirium window is what's desirable and then crit the rest of the way

@agile laurel you have dia, regen, lily heald and misery
junior tundra
how do you swim underwater
faint flare
Its the same hotkey as Descent when flying
agile laurel
Hadn't thought about regen, knew afflatus would work but curious whether there was a more throwaway option was all
basically i'm probably just too used to sch 'weaving button'
faint flare
Regen for the most part provided the Regen would actually be useful
Assize gets hard clipped every other use cause its too good
It lines up with Dia refresh every other cast
remote lintel
all healers pretty much have the same healing output and it just depends on your skill with the class right
faint flare
More or less
indigo orbit
I guess you could technically use Cure 1 to weave
remote lintel
alright
indigo orbit
It's only 1.5s cast time so you could get something in there between
But then you'd be using Cure 1
strong sphinx
should i rather meld DH or DET on WHM? balance discord says Piety for comfort, Crit > DH | DET

Dh if you want more damage

If you want

You can easily get crafters to 15
Just sit in front of the guild vendor npc and make things in your crafting log using their materials
1 of each item in thr early level categories

Basically all old expansion level cap items use poetics
gloomy ice
@sturdy mason When one has become familiar enough with a savage to reliably clear within a run or two, page runs are quick clears to get the tokens at the end instead of learning or practice.
remote lintel
at the endgame area
quiet magnet
Than kyou Eton
sturdy mason
So it's basically a synonym for reclear?
gloomy ice
More or less

Page runs are specifically not for chests. They going for pages, not chests
So assume you get 1 chest at most. Most likely they got a more experienced member helping to carry.
icy oar
I bough shadowbringer on steam, how do I make it register that I own the expansion
remote lintel
enter the code into mog station
hot elm
I haven't played in over a year, decided to buy a month of gametime. The payment went through fine, but no gametime and so my account is still inactive.
gloomy ice
Note that Steam codes will not work with the SE store version.
icy oar
It says the code is invalid @remote lintel
remote lintel
do you own ff14 on windows or on steam?
icy oar
Steam, I figured it out, I was being taken to the bonus item code entry page not the expansion code entry page
gloomy ice
@hot elm If it came as a code, it has to be entered in Mogstation. If it was from Mogstation directly, you might have to submit a support ticket.
hot elm
I bought it directly from the mogstation, I'm making a ticket now. Really felt like playing ffxiv, guess not.
Do they look into tickets during the weekend?
gloomy ice
I think so? Most of their support operations are staffed again. Responses should be faster now.

I'm just about to hit 80 on my first job, and I noticed that my server just became preferred... Is there a way to get road to 70 without making an alt? If not, is it worth making an alt for the other classes?
remote lintel
i wouldnt make an alt JUST for the road to 70
jolly sorrel
Okay so with fisher I'm just trying to get all the big fish, and long before I'm done I'll accidentally reach level 80 while at it. Crafting too, I'm just trying to fill up these logs and the levels just appear somewhere on the way. Is there any battle-related thing to do where I just get decent exp "on the side"? Don't care about the most time efficient path, just something to keep me distracted
hot elm
@gloomy ice I'll just have to wait, nothing else I can do.
gloomy ice
If you’re that close to 80, restarting would not be worth it IMO. The buff isn’t retroactive, unfortunately.
unique geyser
Even if I wanted it for the other classes?
remote lintel
just pick up other classes on your main?
jolly sorrel
I believe you lose road to 70 the moment -any- job hits 70
remote lintel
no
jolly sorrel
Oh? Huh.
jolly sorrel
You keep it until your last job hits 70?
remote lintel
yep
whole wasp
Including crafters and gatherers.
unique geyser
It's for 90 days or if the server stops being preferred, whichever happens last
whole wasp
If the server is still preferres after 90 days (rarely) you get it hold it for more than 90 days.
jolly sorrel
Hot damn. I thought my server was preferred but I never got that buff
lime sphinx
Ok so copied factory gives rewards once a week, is that for everything or just the coin?
jolly sorrel
Had a whm at 70 so figured I wasn't eligible
remote lintel
just the clusters

You only get the buff with a new character.
jolly sorrel
Ohh, I see...
whole wasp
If you make a character while the servers preferred
lime sphinx
@remote lintel so i coud just farm for the 2b chest?
remote lintel
yes
whole wasp
Yes
lime sphinx
okok thx
unique geyser
So the answers are 1. I can't get road to 70 on my existing char and 2. It's not worth making an alt to level the other jobs at double XP?
mental garnet
how much rested xp can i accumulate while logged off?
little swift
If You were less far in progress it could be something to consist
whole wasp
Alts are horrendously annoying becauae you have to redo MSQ
little swift
1.5 levels@mental garnet
whole wasp
@mental garnet 1.5 levels worth at max
jolly sorrel
Well, regardless, anyone know of battle content where I can level "on the side", so to speak? Some collecting thing or some in-game challenge or whatever
unique geyser
I mean is there really a drawback for having another character for other jobs?
remote lintel
do fates?
mental garnet
so if i have a class at 80, it'd be 1.5 level 80 bars?
do i have to be that class when i log off in town?
remote lintel
it applies to every class
whole wasp
@mental garnet yes but it follows whichever you are cureently using.
jolly sorrel
I guess fate achievements are something I could try for yes, not a weird idea
whole wasp
Yup. Not very efficient at low levels
mental garnet
mmk
jolly sorrel
Oh, HoH solo to floor 100 should also get me some exp on the side i suppose
Any other ideas?
remote lintel
for leveling combat?
whole wasp
Hmm. BLU?
jolly sorrel
Blu only works for blu right?

I wanna get all my jobs to 80 by doing something that isn't grinding just to get to 80 asap. In other words, by chasing some different goal instead

i realize i just repeated what smug said

Do I get exp for PvP? Or only for the roulette?

Ideally you would have unlocked flying, but I see a you haven't turned in yet
leaden ginkgo
yes i dont have flying yet x3
idk how to get past the gate when i went all the way up north
im sooo confused
leaden ginkgo
then how can I do my MSQ familiar faces o __ o
but there are gates i cant pass in the airship landing
i can only go to Cloudtops

There are two NPCs who take you places in the airship landing

neo-ish is the cheapest any crafted gear has been

it'll only get cheaper as we move towards 5.4

With 5.3 new gear will come out right?

the game introduces things in little steps
tribal saffron
maybe can join
also I have question for you guys
I'm coming back from ARR with 2 fresh friends. would you guys suggest I reroll my lv 50, 49, and 37 to a preferred server for the bonuses? Not sure if it's worth it or not
little swift
@leaden ginkgo only for crafters/gatherers. combat gear will only get nier 490. 5.4 is the next raid tier
leaden ginkgo
Is 700k for full neo-ishgardian set for tanks good or did i get scamed sorry guys becuase I am new and don't understand the market
tribal saffron
not sure yet; if I don't reroll, I'm on diabolos server
oak ice
700k for all the gear is pretty cheap on Chaos in my experience
faint flare
Usually a full swt averages around 1mil+
little swift
700k isn't bad for full set as long as its HQ
oak ice
Heavy server hopping can maybe squeeze out a few more gils
faint flare
So you got a good price if its HQ
little swift
if its normal quality you got hard scammed
leaden ginkgo
700k isn't bad for full set as long as its HQ
@little swift it is HQ
