I'm pretty sure ultimates are like multiple boss fights in a row with no checkpoints
faint flare
Yee
nova karma
does potd give good exp?
remote lintel
so if you die you have to start all the way at the beginning
twilit arch
yes which is why prog takes quite some time
twilit arch
the ultimate fights test partially your groups skill and partially your groups stamina
gloomy ice
A streamer I watch sometimes took four months to clear TEA. Ultimates are brutal.
twilit arch
they're 15+minute fights you have to learn how to do properly
@nova karma yes, potd gives good exp for 1-60, ideally want to do floors 51-60 repeat
gloomy ice
@nova karma Yes and no. They give decent experience for your level up to 50. Slightly less from 50 to 60. And all but nothing at 60 and above. It's a solid option for DPS players who want to skip queue times.
twilit arch
dungeons are better exp in general
vagrant copper
That's because good is good and not great đ
twilit arch
it basically comes down to what do yo uhave better queues for
gloomy ice
Dungeons are the best source of EXP outside of story quests but PotD allows DPS to nearly bypass queue times.
twilit arch
if you have less than 15minute queues for dungeons, do those
twilit arch
if your queues for dungeons is more than 15 minutes, do potd
twilit arch
Tanks generally have quick queues so dungeons

How much crysta do I need for a world transfer? Mogstation isn't telling me.
split flower
Eh I think it said 14 euro somewhere earlier
So I'd need 1400 then
Crysta is beyond awful, jeez
remote lintel
huh
18 usd is 16.05 euro
maybe world transfer is cheaper there

@lime geode Your birb doesnât share your exp boosts outside of their specific challenge log entries but yeah pretty much.
@void fossil You can store a few company actions for the future. Storage limit increases as your FC ranks up. You can turn on stored actions from the main FC window.

ask them when they're active

lofty pulsar
I need my own crafter at lvl 19 to request an overmeld?
gloomy ice
I donât believe so? Iirc itâs whether the person who is melding for you has it unlocked, not yourself.
lofty pulsar
yeah, I was gonna say. That doesn't make any sense if I have to go unlock it myself? Not really into crafting yet...
So what are the rules for overmelding and requesting to meld/overmeld? How do you pay the person doing the job?

You dont pay unless you want to

Generally to ask them first

how do i unlock the other logs like the hunting one?
crimson crystal
Hunting log is unlocked via

The next rank in hunting logs are opened by completing the current levdl
But unlocking is vis blue quest
I believe you get it with your lv10 job quest
Or something
gloomy ice
@remote lintel I donât remember all three but I one is 2.14s and another is 2.07s, both accounting for the Shifu buff being active.
Meaning you wonât need as much SkS as it appears.

ugh, at least it's only CP crap

yeah, but im checking it now
carbonweave ain't gonna work with the materia I had planned

@nova umbra you'll probably need to craft 2-star/3-star stuff for that to more quickly spiritbond

maps, at a guess
slate arrow
@tawdry pond no
slate arrow
5.3 is still a few weeks off give or take
agile laurel
and it isn't the starting quests, it's the base-game postgame
so you have plenty of time to play the main base game
slate arrow
no they are reworking the base game a little
slate arrow
it's ARR as a whole iirc
obsidian patio
@gloomy mortar From these ventures
agile laurel
i am surprised. consider me wrong then
tawdry pond
so what does that mean for someone whos starting?
slate arrow
16% of all quests in 2.0 and 2.x are being removed, and that's not counting the slimming down of quest objectives if I recall correctly
agile laurel
basically, the base game's getting streamlined cause it's old and a bit draggy

@tawdry pond personally, I'd buy the game now and just play the trial

How many Triple Triad cards do you need to get to start using level 3 star cards?
tawdry pond
humm alright and with this i get the 3 expansions + 30 days right?

@gloomy mortar 60 total cards
slate arrow
just know the days start whenever you redeem your Starter Edition code
obsidian patio
if you want to use decks entirely out of 3-star cards + one of a higher rank
tawdry pond
so use the trial till i hit the max things i can do or just use the code at the start?
gloomy mortar
Best way to get 3star cards? I bought all the ones sold at the GS
slate arrow
@tawdry pond I'd say stay on trial just in case you don't want to keep doing the quests, and then activate it a few days before 5.3
slate arrow
If you just need 60 cards just spam the booster packs until you have all you can get
tawdry pond
how so?@slate arrow
obsidian patio
So you can buy the mythril and dream packs for a bunch of 3-stars
slate arrow
@tawdry pond you just don't enter the code
gloomy mortar
I use Triple Triad to get easy Challenges to get more Adventure Squad recruits
obsidian patio
Imperial is pretty cheap too
tawdry pond
but wont i hit a wall as in what i can do with trial?
slate arrow
It's until level 35
It's still a healthy chunk of content and you can still level your base game jobs to level 35 if you want a taste of every job in the gameb

jobs are not classes right?

I finished the Fashion Report with a max score; however it offers the chance to do the same fashion report again. Do you get a reward, zero rewards, or does your attempt chances bank?

So if I have both my Retainers (Botanist and Miner) do the XIII venture, what are the chances of getting Light Steel Plate?

still random
There's no percent chances we can confirm unless someone has a spreadsheet with like a thousand ventures recorded
And no, there's no datamining for venture loot chances either since that's 100% serverside

How many attempts would you try before giving up and just buying Light Steel Plate on the MB for 200k each?

I'd say try a week

personally, i wouldnt bother with ventures because i have more than enough gil that 200k per is a pittance

@gloomy mortar from what I can tell in my experience, you basically didn't land the killing blow

For adventure squad missions, do you have a better chance of it being a success if youâre close to meeting the requirements or is it all or nothing?
smoky girder
Okay, get to 80>zoom in >1>2>3>zoom out

The flagged missions explicitly need all requirements met
obsidian patio
Do note that if it's a Flagged Mission you must max out all 3 stats to succeed
agile laurel
when you unlock moulinet, you can just get to whatever mana and then run in and spam enchanted moulinet til you run dry

even if you're 2/3 and are only a few points off from 3/3 you pretty much have 0% chance of success
agile laurel
of course
raw solstice
don't specifically pair corps a corps and displacement with melee combo
agile laurel
yeah, basic gap-closer rule in the game is sure, use them to keep your uptime, but if that's irrelevant then sitting on them is just as bad as sitting on any other off-GCD
e.g. sitting on fleche
remote lintel
usually your corps a corps and displacement will line up with you maxing mana
raw solstice
well, not necessarily
remote lintel
until you use that 1 move that gives u double mana
nova umbra
does paladin priortize direct hit over critical hit?
raw solstice
plus, manafication resets the cd of cac/displacement
agile laurel
don't believe so zyd
remote lintel
o yea it does
agile laurel
could be wrong
raw solstice
so you want to make sure to use them before manafication at the very least, at level 60+
obsidian patio
@nova umbra nope
Direct Hit only scales better than crit at the start of the expansion when total stat amounts are low.
nova umbra
I was looking at the balance discord recommended for paladin and there's so many direct hit melds instead of critical melds? https://etro.gg/gearset/97f56187-de07-41bc-bff7-8ea622f494fc

that's because the Chest/Legs/belt/Boots/Earrings/Necklace/Bracelet/2nd ring are already maxed on crit
melding more would add 0 crit
nova umbra
oh o.o;
warped nest
Lol, so many crit
obsidian patio
The secondary stat on an item with a higher number is already sitting at the stat cap for that item
nova umbra
should relic weapon be good enough for a long long time?
since it takes so much to get edenchoir weapons
obsidian patio
Relic Weapons will always be behind until the end of the expansion
nova umbra
as a placeholder though
since it takes so long to get a crystarium or edenchoir weapon
obsidian patio
in terms of just the first step yeah it's extremely easy to get and a good weapon
but later on it really depends on how grindy future steps are
and how eureka-like the content for it will be.
remote lintel
for now the relic weapon is good and it's real easy to get
like you might as well just get it
nova umbra
so use it until you get enough for crystarium/edenchoir?
remote lintel
yes
nova umbra
okay, thanks :>
obsidian patio
for some jobs it's just as good or slightly better than the base Crystarium weapon
I know the healers and Dancer have their weapons being just as good or very slightly better.
I think bard too?
remote lintel
thought ilvl is king

the relic having 5 assured slots means you can get a lot of secondary stat from it
since you can meld 5x grade 8 materia to it

How come I sometimes get Centurio Seals for killing a lvl60 mark, when itâs not on the hunting mark list?
remote lintel
A and S ranks arent on bills
twilit arch
which in certain cases can tip it over to being better than the i490 gear
obsidian patio
in the case of the healer weapons, it's because the crystarium ones have piety while the relics don't
they're all crit/det

hi all, is it true there's a noticeable difference between the NA data centers userbase wise? people seem to believe crystal is more RP heavy, aether is more raid and primal is somewhere inbetween?
remote lintel
crystal is rp heavy because its a self fulfilling prophecy
which i guess made aether and primal have more raiders
that said i don't think it's like, extremely different tho

Is there a way to do the running action in gpose with weapon drawn?

Spell speed? Or just not worry till a higher lvl?

dragoons didnt come out with heavensward lol

you don't have to worry too much about sps until you max out

they were a thing since arr i think
warped nest
@steel wedge don't worry for now
Dragoon is in ARR and Ishgard are mentioned a lot in the ARR quest line
tulip plover
Waaaahhh, then why is it on armor?
warped nest
While leveling, just make sure your gear has better primary stats (higher ilvl in most cases, NQ crafted gears are neutered)
I meant when you are melding, you have no control on Vitality
raw solstice
vitality is just a byproduct of having higher level/ilvl gear
tulip plover
Oh ok
raw solstice
not something you specifically go for/meld for
just something you get from better gear

also this might not be the right channel, if not, please send me where i shOuld be
it does the same on the website
faint flare
Its not required
remote lintel
you don't have to do the one time password
silver ruin
skip that part

thats what i heard
but i still get told my id/password is incorrect
this would be me ID, right?
tulip plover
So what is that sword next to peoples name
tulip plover
So you get both a sword and crown?
faint flare
Combat mentors are sword and crown
Crafting is hammer and crowb
Just crown are general mentors
Not that it really means anything at the end of the day
faint flare
Only 1 active at a time
lime sphinx
^ this is why they dont mean anything now

But you can get all of them
remote lintel
it will take you a long ass time to get them
tulip plover
Aw man :(

Not really

crafting one is ezpz
tulip plover
Well i plan on playing this game for a while anyways
faint flare
Only the commends for combat is the real time consuming
remote lintel
the 1500 commends will take a while

And you can mostly farm that by doing healer/tank ques

Make a new Mogstation account and link your SE account to it
remote lintel
yeah could just do that
cyan crater
i mean, how would that help me login to the launcher though
remote lintel
because it's the same account?
the login info you put into the launcher is the login info for your mog station
remote lintel
do you have a link of where you made an account

Mogstation manages everything and is needed otherwise yoy don't really have a "account"

Hello, Iâm kind of new to the game and I just hit lvl 50 on my white mage. Should I focus on my MSQ and hit max lvl or should I try to get other classes? Or should I try to hit max lvl with another class first?

And yew, SE account management is weird abit
Story is always top priority
Do other jobs whenever you want
cyan crater
so do i even need a SE acct?

Yes

You can have multiple SE accounts under one Mogstation

just make a new account if you haven't even done anything

no, she's not a fighter
tulip plover
Boooo she weak
twilit arch
sounds like you're capped on grand company seals
lime geode
What does that mean?
twilit arch
if you open your currency menu, either thru character > currency or by clicking on the money icon
it'll show you the various currencies that you have available
tulip plover
What do you use seals for?
twilit arch
grand company seals are used for grand company promotions, or buying items from your grand company quartermaster
tulip plover
And the best use for them is promotions right?
lime geode
Where do you promote?

Hah - same. Storm Corporal.

do all treasure maps have a chance to drop unhidden maps? or just a few?
twilit arch
unhidden leather map is only from peisteskin or dragonskin maps
pliant cosmos
ah, that must be why im not getting any
the wiki says goatskin can drop it but have done 10 with no success
twilit arch
hmm
actually double checking seems like the other ARR maps do have a chance of dropping them
but its fairly low

Is it worth going after ironworks gear @ lvl 55 or continuing the MSQ?

continue MSQ

Has anyone else ever had an issue where you'd randomly DC and get a 90002 error?
I've tried:
- Reinstalling FFXIV
- Used a VPN
- Tracked the PacketLoss, without any significant results.
- Changing my Ethernet Cable
I'm not sure what to do anymore.
Its inconsistent and I have 0 hints as to why I'm having this issue.

Hey guys quick question about zodiac weapons: Iâm really digging the nexus glow right before the actual zodiac weapon. Is there a way for me to get the nexus weapon without having to go through the entire thing again once I get the zodiac weapon
lime geode
Yeah Im doing the initial relic quests now. You have to keep going back to the Sion HQ to get new quests.
twilit arch
you could just stop at nexus if you aren't interested in the completed weapon
but that said, you can only get replicas of previous stages of zodiac after you've got a completed zeta

where can i find nojiro marujiro for POTD quest?
twilit arch
he's in the gridania adventurer's guild

Gotcha. Iâm actually right at that last step before the final weapon (sasukes blades, which I do like) but for my current glam I feel like the nexus works better. Do I just go back to gerolt in n shroud for previous weapons once I finish?

the replicas can be bought from drake (provided you've got the zeta in your inventory)

Got it. Appreciate the help!!!

no
for floors 1-100, you can used the matched party function to be put with random people
molten spruce
ok

101+ however will require you to be in a fixed party, so either you go in solo or with a premade group

@latent bloom crystal is rp datacenter, but i think theres a decent rp on either siren or sarg idk

Siren and Sarg are the most likely tho

How can I find the open world currents?

how do i check what fights i have to do to strengthen myself

You should've been given an aether compass
use it to get an idea of where the open world currents are located
its in your key items inventory
vagrant copper
Compass would be in your key items
jade quartz
You have been provided with a key item aether compass which can be used from your key items inv or dragged onto your hotbar
twilit arch
i would recommend placing it somewhere on your hotbars so you can click on it while you're questing

@cold sierra for anima you can do any lvl 50-60 dungeon for light. the usual recommendation is to find a group to do Alexander - Eyes of the Creator (Savage) or solo a dungeon like brayflox hard
