plenty
open coral
I'm about halfway with the DoW/DoM jobs, myself.
open coral
I have ALC leveled to 50
open coral
Because I wanted to be able to make orchestrion rolls
But I don't understand how collectibles work, so I haven't gone past 50 yet.
median locust
You even get a mount for getting every battle job at 80
remote lintel
the mount looks ok
faint flare
Collectible are literally the same as HQing
finite socket
Damn doesnt that take years+?
median locust
Nah, just a good amount of grinding. Or money if you buy level skips on mogstation.
remote lintel
you can level grind a job from 1 to 80 in like a week
open coral
@faint flare I mean more about how the turn ins work and stuff. I had issues in Ishgard Restoration trying to level ALC because I couldn't make the collectibles with a high enough quality.
open coral
Yes, but don't do it.
remote lintel
you buy it
median locust
Absolutely not recommended, I'd only use one on a job you already know but don't wanna level a second time on an alt
Plus it's relatively expensive
open coral
Probably didn't help that I was like, level 20 ALC at the time, and had crap for gear.
finite socket
Okay so out of curiosity what does the level skip require of the class you want to skip on, and how much does it cost ish?
little swift
collectables for crafting are the exact same as regular crafting astra
remote lintel
it requires nothing
little swift
just turn on collectable synth
remote lintel
it's 25 usd
faint flare
You can buy skips for jobs you dont have unlocked
It does all their job quests including the unlock
simple shore
Skips are a really bad idea if you're new.
open coral
Okay, but like, does it have to be specific items? @little swift
median locust
It also doesn't skip the story so you'll still have that to do which is the biggest part of levelling your first job
remote lintel
yeah if you buy a level skip you can't do the class's story
and yes it doesn't skip the msq
faint flare
You check what your turn ins are by checking the Rowena house of splendor thinng in Timers
Ishgard restoration items dont change
open coral
Yeah. I'll probably go back once I'm done with my DoW/DoM leveling.
simple shore
The biggest problem with it is....you buy a skip as a new player, particularly as a healer or tank - people are going to assume you levelled to that level on your own and understand how to play. So when you queue into something and have absolutely no idea what you're doing, its just gonna go poorly.
faint flare
And ishgard restoration items are always made as collectibles so dont need to worry about turning Collctor synth on
Just raise quality
open coral
It's too much to try to absorb for someone who hasn't touched the crafting/gathering system since they started playing (me).
remote lintel
I mean even if you buy a level skip you won't be able to use 90% of your moves because the story will sync you down
finite socket
Yeah im not going to do it on my first job that's for sure, but i'll consider it for later. It's nice to have the option atleast because honestly it doesnt sound like a nasty clicking grind otherwise if you want a few jobs for each role!
open coral
I have to figure out how to get the currency and how to buy the recipe books that let me craft more orchestrion rolls.
But later.
@finite socket Just remember that a level skip potion will, as others mentioned, also skip the story for leveling that job.
That's why we don't usually recommend them for new players.
remote lintel
do not skip dark knight story
simple shore
DRK story best story
finite socket
Okay so theres the "main quest" and then theres a story for each class/job?
remote lintel
yeah
open coral
Yes. Every 5 levels you should be returning to your class trainer for a quest.
remote lintel
each class has an ongoing side quest that has its own mini story
median locust
Yeah class quests. They'll give you skills plus some of them are pretty good
open coral
If you haven't been doing that, you need to.
finite socket
I dont think i have done the level 15 arcanist one yet hmm, ill look into that
faint flare
Job quests are MANDATORY
open coral
^
remote lintel
they show up under your msq bar as well
faint flare
Or you miss like 60% of your kit
open coral
Job quests are SUPER mandatory. If you don't do them, you won't have a ton of necessary skills and spells later on.
median locust
even more mandatory than the main story quests 
which unlock 99% of the game already
faint flare
Hell, as Arcanist you get your 2nd summon via the lv15 job quest
open coral
And people will get mad at you in dungeons if you're a healer or tank and you're missing most of your kit
median locust
If you don't know where they are, they should show up under your main story quest tracker
remote lintel
that's what I said 
median locust
If you have one available
open coral
You also cannot upgrade base classes to jobs without going through the class quests between level 1 and 30.
finite socket
so having the time and such to get a job to max level but not having done the class quest doesnt make much sense to me anyway?
median locust
Some ignore class quests to level cap, but these are idiots, lol
remote lintel
oh yeah they should flash a notification on your screen
like "YOU CAN TAKE THE NEXT JOB QUEST"
little swift
it'll flash the notification even if you haven't done the previous quests
the game is actively trying to get you to do them
simple shore
The only time its okay to skip them for awhile is from 61-69, because you dont get anything from that section of them until the 70 quest.
open coral
It's a big ol' block of text right in the middle of your screen when you hit a requisite level too, so it's really hard to miss.
remote lintel
when I leveled my first class I didn't know they were a thing until like 30 
finite socket
Just makes no sense why the term "people that doesnt do class quests" even exists lol
open coral
Because some people hate fun
faint flare
Because idiots
simple shore
I mean, you came in here not knowing how to switch classes and how to get a job. Consider that there's people who dont ask the question.
open coral
And the healer goes
median locust
There was a bug at Shadowbringers release where reaching lv78 replaced the skill you needed to complete the lv40 job quest, so you couldn't complete it anymore. It got fixed but man... lol
for MCH*
open coral
But basically yeah. You came and you asked questions. We like when people ask these questions.
finite socket
Honestly as a new player its really really overwhelming and i dont feel like i got much info from the game so i felt like i had to come and spam in here, atleast people are super helpful
remote lintel
just play at your own pace
open coral
The game actually has a ton of "Active Help" tips that show up any time you encounter a new system.
little swift
the game actually gives a decent amount of info through active help windows
remote lintel
the game introduces things in baby steps
twilit wing
hey all. i'm new here and trying to return to FFXIV. i couldn't recover my old account because i guess i had an authenticator at some point so i made a new one but when i get to the launcher, it says the password is wrong no matter what i try. any ideas?
open coral
The first 20 levels or so are effectively the tutorial section of the game. Lots of new systems introduced in a relatively short amount of time.
remote lintel
@twilit wing can you log into mog station?
twilit wing
nope
remote lintel
are you sure you didn't typo your password when you made your account
twilit wing
I got the email saying the account was registered but i've checked and double checked the Square and password 3 times
lol. nope. made sure it accepted it and did the hunt and peck method
i guess i'll try reseting it again
tribal estuary
Remind me, does the trial show a different icon on mogstation if if it was standalone versus steam?
open coral
And you're certain you're using the correct email address or username to log in?
simple shore
If you paired a software token with your account, and you dont have it anymore, you are gonna be in for a bad time.
twilit wing
well i don't remember doing it but that's the old account. made a totally fresh one with a new email
remote lintel
@tribal estuary I believe it does?
remote lintel
it should say "steam" somewhere
twilit wing
just waiting on the email i guess
finite socket
Yo also btw, is there any way i dont know of to get stronger? some of the quests i do as arcanist, bosses etc, is just me pressing 1 over and over for 3-4 minutes, is this normal or? i mean i do equip the gear i get from quests etc...
remote lintel
yeah that's normal
open coral
At low level that's pretty normal.
little swift
your weapon probably needs a slight upgrade too
remote lintel
you unlock skills as you progress
faint flare
You get more skills as you level and do job quests
open coral
But you should be updating your gear.
faint flare
Gear as well
remote lintel
the msq gives gear
open coral
Gear = stats
remote lintel
equip the better ones
open coral
Class quests = more skills
finite socket
I mean i keep auto equiping new gear after i do quests etc
open coral
That's a pretty reasonable way to handle things.
simple shore
What is your current item level? Its the number next to the * on your character pane.
open coral
We did mention earlier though, at lower levels you aren't going to have a ton of skills in your rotation.
finite socket
it says 0011 right now
twilit wing
and now i can't change my password because they won't send the email. neato
simple shore
and what level quest are you doing
little swift
to be fair, you might be equipping the wrong kinds of gear
open coral
Under level 30, ARC is basically just Miasma > Bio > Ruin spam
finite socket
hmm around level 15-16 quests
little swift
if you're equipping gear that provides your character with strength/dexterity
you're going to do 0 damage
because arcanist doesn't scale with those stats
finite socket
level 17 and i have 75 intelect right now so yeah
twilit wing
okay wait. if i can log into square enix with steam as an account, what would my login info be that way?
open coral
We're talking about on your gear though @finite socket
remote lintel
your mog station info?
open coral
If your gear has Dex or Tenacity on it, then it's not the right kind of gear for you.
median locust
Your name will automatically change to the new one on their end
finite socket
Well it doesnt, all the gear i have is from quests mainly where i choose the stuff that my class allowed me to
open coral
That's fine then.
little swift
thats the thing though, there's a lot of all classes gear early on
we want to make sure you're using the right kind
median locust
And you'll still have the same "character ID" meaning if someone knows your ID they'll be able to find you on Lodestone anyway
open coral
It becomes less of an issue after level 50 since you'll only be able to equip gear with your job on it.
tribal estuary
Looks like no steam mark on the page
remote lintel
it's on your lodestone page link
median locust
Go to Lodestone, open your character page, check the URL
remote lintel
open coral
But before that point, you'll see gear that says "Disciples of War or Magic" on it with Dex and Strength. You'll be able to select it, but it won't actively do anything for you from a damage standpoint.
remote lintel
@tribal estuary
median locust
Yeah of course
remote lintel
yes
twilit wing
Okay. I got the password changed and it does not work still.
remote lintel
are you sure you made an account on mogstation and not the SE store
median locust
right, those are 2 completely different accounts
twilit wing
I think I got it. Just need to log into Square's 8 other services first...
mossy tartan
what astrologian-related titles can I acquire? So far I’ve only got “Stargazer”
twilit wing
and my registration code is the product key in steam, right?
median locust
Of the Eastern Skies at 70, Distant Stargazer at lv80
onyx kiln
isn't there a achivment for doing all the lv 30 class quests from ARR?
remote lintel
@twilit wing yes
median locust
If you mean Astrologian-sounding titles, there's also Starcaller which is obtained from doing the first step of the ARR relic for BLM
twilit wing
Okay. It says it's already been registered
median locust
Can also check every title in the game and the achievement needed to unlock them on this site

molten spruce
what is MP for? never seen it deplete
tepid stag
can I wear two edenchoir rings at the same time?
median locust
Mana is used to cast spells on Caster classes and jobs.
molten spruce
ohhh
median locust
@tepid stag No, if it says Unique on it, you can't wear more than one
or hold more than one in your inventory
remote lintel
other jobs use mp
onyx kiln
what is the macro command that makes a sound effect?
tribal estuary
Previously we had TP and MP
onyx kiln
thanks
tribal estuary
But TP was rolled into MP during an update
Tp was for physical attacks and MP caster
gloomy ice
Less rolled into and more removed completely.
median locust
yeah, no skill costs MP now that used to cost TP
tribal estuary
Point
But ye
On my earlier thingy, remind me if a free trial blank can purchase and register stuff on steam to make it a steam full account
gloomy ice
Yes, SE trial accounts can be converted into Steam accounts
tribal estuary
I'm seeing reddit posts saying yes
gloomy ice
But it can’t go the other way.

If a new player wants to try astrologian, is it best to practice on a dummy?
remote lintel
yes
median locust
I'd say put all your spells up to level 18 on your bar then queue for Sastasha
A dummy won't do much for learning the healing part of your kit
DPSing is basically just spamming Malefic while keeping your DoT up. Until you get Gravity anyway.
little swift
getting a feel for how much you can abuse essential dignity is not something a dummy can show you
spare plinth
So it’s best to practice on someone else?
remote lintel
sure
you could get a friend and party with them and heal them in the field while they kill things
median locust
In a low level dungeon preferably, with actual damage going out (even if there isn't much)
little swift
healing is probably the only role i'd say learning to play requires more real practice
median locust
If a friend can tank for you then +1. It'll be less stressful for your first time
median locust
Fringes/Peaks. Mostly Fringes

molten spruce
for healing do u have ti target your allies or does it target automatically?
median locust
You target them manually
molten spruce
im never healing then
median locust
Unless it's an AoE heal then you don't have to
molten spruce
controller horrible for targeting
idle mauve
I just say an item level 400....does item level have nothing to do with character level?
remote lintel
controller isn't that bad for targeting
molten spruce
nah it just doesnt target what you want
remote lintel
are you using the up/down on dpad for allies and the left/right for enemies?
median locust
Item level is more important than level. Level basically just limits your ability to acquire and equip better gear.
remote lintel
nope
you can also have filters for what you want to target
and switch between those filters
wise portal
I wanna do Savage raids one day, to me that sounds like an ideal long term goal in the game. But I’m also fairly certain based on everything I read I’m never gonna have the mechanical ability or a schedule that allows for it. Got me mad discouraged about even continuing to play. Anyone been through this line of thinking before can speak to it? Or am I alone in my neuroses?
remote lintel
you can get pugs for savage but your mileage can vary with those
clever cave
its ok to not do savage
idle mauve
Item level is more important than level. Level basically just limits your ability to acquire and equip better gear.
@median locust But what's the connection? I'm level 38, does that affect what gear I can equip? This person with the level 400 bracelet is level 50.
remote lintel
also savage doesn't require THAT intense mechanical ability
median locust
@idle mauve Their level got synced down to level 50. Their gear also did, though you don't see it
You can't equip gear above lv38 as a lv38
But "item level" only starts becoming higher than your actual level at lv45-50
Like the best lv50 gear is iLv130
molten spruce
as a healer, do u have to target manually for dps abilities or are they aoes? astrologian specifically
remote lintel
you have to target manually
gravity is an aoe but you still need a target
there's one that's a ground target that you put down
median locust
White Mage's AoE is centered on you so you don't need a target, same for Scholar. But Astrologian needs a target.

Hello, Im planning on levelling DoH and DoL classes but wanted to ask if there is any particular class I should level up first to make it easier later on in the process
idle mauve
@median locust That just seems non-sensical. So much of this game doesn't make much sense.
slate arrow
in exchange, most of ASTs oGCD heals don't require a target
median locust
It's so make it so all level cap gear isn't all the same strength. Else there wouldn't be any gear progression at level cap
slate arrow
@stone niche you want to level them all in roughly the same level bracket
other crafters use materials other crafters make
and they all use gatherer materials
stone niche
Any particular order for classes?
slate arrow
nah
median locust
Basically just level one by 10 levels, level the next by 10 levels, etc
order doesn't really matter
just keep them near each other
stone niche
How many retainers should I have for this process? I have 4 now and 2 of them are full of DoM and DoW gear I like
wise portal
In my (limited experience) it’s best to keep gatherers a few levels ahead of crafters if you plan on mostly using your own mats (as opposed to buying)
idle mauve
Any secret to inventory management? I tried mining and goldsmithing and my bags just exploded and it's impossible to keep track of things.
little swift
vendor everything you don't immediately need
slate arrow
^
stone niche
I lied 3 of my retainers are full lol
little swift
or you can attempt to sell themo n the marketboard
stone niche
my 4th has 101/175 left
median locust
Sell what you don't need, keep everything around the same level so materials overlap and there's less space taken
little swift
gear that you have too much of is usually reobtainable in some way
slate arrow
most materials are either easy to gather or relatively cheap on the marketboard
little swift
so consider getting rid of some of it
slate arrow
if you don't need it immediately, sell sell sell.
median locust
Low level mats will be available to buy again at around the same price so you don't really lose anything. They're just gil now.
idle mauve
So dump everything on the merchant, don't bother with the marketboard?
median locust
Check marketboard first just in case it might sell for more than for vendor selling price
Else, vendor
clever cave
i would check the prices on mb at least once
slate arrow
well, it's worth checking out the marketboard for what might sell above vendor price
most ARR mats usually sell around vendor price though
or cheaper
stone niche
Are there certain mats I should be keeping as I gather?
slate arrow
nah
I recommend using teamcraft to set up and plan out your crafts
but the fastest way to level below 50 self sufficently is to use Ishgard Restoration and the Diadem
median locust
Probably like Silver Ore, Effervescent Water, Electrum Ore. These are used in a ton of crafts.
Other than that, not really
slate arrow
(because trying to HQ leve items can be a pain in the neck and a half)
stone niche
Lol, this is a completely different beast from DoW and DoM levelling lol
slate arrow
it used to be much worse
You needed roughly 110 leves to get to 80 before the crafter rework, and more if you used NQ items

Isnt there a demolish timer?

Yes but it's been paused for 3 months now

Demolish timer?
remote lintel
@wooden tulip before they froze houses, if you didn't visit your house within a certain time you lose it
median locust
That's the most likely thing to have happened.
faint flare
Houses auto demolish after 45 days
stone niche
Feelsbadman
median locust
After 45 days of not entering a house, it gets demolished automatically
The timer has been paused since March 26th
wooden tulip
But I talked to an SE rep before I left and he told me that wouldn't happen
Is there a way to get it back?
median locust
So if your house reached the 45 days before that, it was demolished
There's no way, no
remote lintel
when did you leave
wooden tulip
So I lost all the money and furniture too?
remote lintel
i don't think you lose your furniture
wooden tulip
December
remote lintel
then yes you would have lost it
median locust
...you said 3 months
So yeah, not entering the house for 45 days demolishes it. No way around it.
little swift
your furniture can be reclaimed for a certain amount time after your house is demolished
the housing management npc should have it
median locust
I think they keep it for 30 days?
After that the items are gone
not sure about the gil
wooden tulip
Gonna go check
SE rep specifically told me though that I would keep my house
I called before I took a break because I was scared that this would happen
median locust
Dunno what kind of wording they used, but you do keep it. But for 45 days after you last entered it..
scarlet ermine
Is this the right place to ask for help with the Square store for FFXIV?
remote lintel
sure

I've been trying to simply buy a mount and no matter what I do, I get an error message. Cant uses steam wallet, cant use credit cards, paypal nothing
I had a similar issue when even trying to resubscribe to the game. Took me roughly an hour to troubleshoot.

remote lintel
did you try crysta
scarlet ermine
yes same result
I submitted a help ticket, God only knows when that will be answered

shrewd relic
Is there any search function in the game where I can look for items?
Besides the right click search for item cause that’s only for that particular item
median locust
/isearch <item>
If there's multiple words, add "s
ie. /isearch "Fat Cat"
This only searched through your own inventories though
I think minus chocobo saddlebag and mannequins, though
shrewd relic
Awesome thanks!
slate arrow
Speaking of retainers: it'll check based on last recorded information
So if you world visit there's a small chance they might be out of date
reef reef
little swift
nope squadron members can only be classes not jobs
slate arrow
Lancer can use various DRG buffs
and their DPS is insanely boosted
like at low levels they can deal twice as much damage sometimes
slate arrow
I mean in general
this is after you level their tactics a bit though
Personally, I recommend Archer and Gladiator
Since Archer has more AoE abilities they're more likely to use
And gladiator's hollowed ground is quite nice
if you're struggling with healing, Arcanist also brings a pocket heal since their MND isn't the same as a player's MND

60
neat raptor
I'm lvl 53. I just finished ARR and am about to start the bunch of quests in between this and the expansion. My question is this: Should I be trying to get lvl 50 poetic gear?
faint flare
Yes
median locust
Dark Knight, Machinist, Astrologian start at 30
Red Mage, Samurai start at 50
Dancer, Gunbreaker start at 60
little swift
the online store just came out
faint flare
Its the best gear you can get
sullen pulsar
ok thanks will take a look in game
little swift
there are probably some difficulties with using it
neat raptor
What's the most efficient way to farm poetics for the gear?
swift dust
oh okay
mental garnet
roulettes then probably hunt trains
but don't take my word for it, i'm not that experienced
obsidian patio
50/60/70, Alliance Raid, and Main Scenario roulettes are a very good daily source
neat raptor
I don't have those unlocked. Do those get unlocked soon after I finish ARR? Because I just finished the cut scenes and a buuuuunch of blue quests have popped up in town. I'm assuming some of those unlock those features
remote lintel
if you beat ARR then you have the msq roulette
neat raptor
Yes, I do have that one
obsidian patio
50/60/70 unlocks once you have more than 2 dungeons of those levels
Alliance raid is unlocked from having 2 24-man duties unlocked
A lot of the new blue quests in Mor Dhona are for level 50 dungeons
neat raptor
Ah, thanks!
obsidian patio
And the quest “Legacy of Allag” in Mor Dhona unlocks the crystal tower 24-man raid series
(Which is what the alliance raids are)
neat raptor
As a new player, should I be trying to farm the irregular tomes for the riding maps?
obsidian patio
Nah
mental garnet
wait so realistically you can only unlock alliance raids once you also unlock the void ark? unless you PF a group and clear labyrinth of the ancients to unlock crystal tower 2?
obsidian patio
Those maps will become obsolete once 5.3 hits with the base game zones getting flying.
As the riding maps don’t boost flying speed
neat raptor
Ooooh
little swift
you can get alliance raid roulette when you unlock the 2nd raid in crystal tower
don't even need to beat the 2nd one
median locust
You don't PF alliance raids, just queue for Labyrinth of the Ancients directly. Then you'll unlock Syrcus Tower, and you have your 2nd alliance raid
median locust
Alliance Raids aren't high-end content so you can queue for them and go in blind safely
mental garnet
cool

Can cut scenes not be skipped in the msq raids?
unique geyser
no
mental garnet
correct
median locust
Nope
unique geyser
that's literally the point of them
median locust
Can't be skipped cause if they did, people would just skip everything, face roll the mobs and leave sprouts behind
mental garnet
i believe FR audio is the fastest to finish though. correct me if i'm wrong
remote lintel
it is
median locust
Which is what happened before they made them unskippable
little swift

One more dancer question. Does starting in lvl 60 have a steep learning curve? does it take long to get up to speed? Don't want to screw up a party ;-P
mental garnet
nope
remote lintel
you would already have a lvl 60 character at that point so it's not really a big difference
you would know the ropes
unique geyser
question: my gf used trusts to farm Mt. Gulg at some point, despite the NPC's not being level 71. however, now she's trying to farm a level 73 dungeon, and it's not allowing her because it's saying the NPCs are too low level. Why did it let her farm Mt. Gulg with level 71 NPCs but now is not letting her farm a lower dungeon with them?
median locust
I'd recommend putting down all your skills on your bar one by one, from lv1 and up, while reading the tooltips
wise portal
@median locust I mean people still leave sprouts behind...
median locust
It's nowhere as bad, lol
sullen pulsar
yea but the current 70 I started at lvl 1 and have time to get used to the skills and combo
obsidian patio
@unique geyser during the leveling story you don’t need to level up the trusts
remote lintel
dancer hardly has a rotation or combos
mental garnet
yeah at least now sprouts have the same starting point as everyone else, getting out of the cutscene at the same time
obsidian patio
But once you beat the leveling story then they must be leveled up
wise portal
mental garnet
getting lost is still a thing but it's impossible to prevent that for some people
unique geyser
even though she was able to run it multiple times?

Yes

It's simple once you get it down
neat raptor
I did Praetorium for the first time last night and totally didn't get the armor. I couldn't figure out how to get in the machine or why everyone was watching a cutscene except me and one other sprout. So then we figured it out and had to watch the cut scene together. And wow that was a ton of cutscenes to catch up to them
median locust
Take off your job stone, you can only pick it up as Arcanist iirc
median locust
How far are you in the story?

Isn’t the summoner quest in Gridania not Limsa?

the quest giver starts in limsa
remote lintel
then you can't
median locust
That's why

so you have to get lvl 30 main?

You need to get far enough in the MSQ to unlock jobs (aside from job boosting)

Location and price

depends on the area
typically first class will be by the beach

median locust
If you check the wiki page for each housing area, there will be a map that tells you which are which class

obsidian patio
Class seems to be based on stuff like location, view, and maybe other smaller factors like distance from an Aetheryte/marketboard
For example, all the beachfront houses in the Mist are 1st class
remote lintel
you should put your partner thing on
obsidian patio
Having a dance partner is a notable part of your overall damage
median locust
There is no reason whatsoever not to pick a partner
obsidian patio
Giving someone a virtually permanent +5% damage increase is bigger than you think
median locust
Doesn't mean your damage will be bad without one
faint flare
Your damage itself doesn't change but you provide alot of extra damage
remote lintel
you dont need to actually bring another person into your party with you
you just pick someone
sullen pulsar
can you just pick a random party member should you party up before entering dungeon
or
remote lintel
you just pick someone
median locust
In dungeons, always the other DPS
faint flare
Partner is removed with sync
Always pick the other dps
In 8mans, pick a high dps job
sullen pulsar
ah ok so you don't need another dancer in the company to partner up with
median locust
In raids, pick a high DPS job like BLM, SAM, MNK, SMN
faint flare
Like SMN/Blm/Mnk etc
remote lintel
you dont need to actually bring another person into your party with you
sullen pulsar
just random partner when you team
median locust
Or the top DPS if you have the means of knowing who is
sullen pulsar
ok thanks
obsidian patio
Dancer with another dancer is actually one of the less good combinations, assuming you can choose a different DPS

Don't use jump when you're gonna get bonked

What’s up with Black Matter Cluster? I got it through mining, saw that it sold on the MB for 400 and there were a lot of them for sale, so I sold it. Then someone said I should have kept it, and now Black Matter Clusters are going for 2000 each. Wiki just says it’s for personal airship repairs, which I don’t have.
remote lintel
tankbusters are usually single target targeting the tank
median locust
yeah that's just an attack
Tankbusters can be AoEs but it's usually just a frontal cone or a circle around the tank
if the boss wants to spin like a beyblade that's just an AoE to dodge
remote lintel
which, if you're getting hit by tankbusters, means you're standing in a dumb position
aka close to the main tank

the other vendor there has weapons but you need to trade poetics for other tokens
median locust
Buy 10 Rowena's Token (Poetics) and 1 Encrypted Tomestone

what options do I have to level up a job from 70 to 80 other than duty roulöettes?

Then go to the vendor on the right and select Ironworks Gear

it will come out to be 500 poetics per weapon
median locust
Or only 7 Tokens if you're Paladin
neat raptor
Thank you
median locust
and buy the shield with Poetics individually
limber sun
but then you need to buy the shield for 3
so the shield/sword set comes out to cost the same as every other class's weapon
limber sun
hmm. same poetics cost overall though isn't it?

Yeah, just saying there's no tokens so they don't buy 3 extras they don't need lol

Not directly, but you can always look at what other people have done for their houses.
twilit arch
you can always buy an apartment
twilit arch
significantly cheaper than a house, gives you access to a stable and reduced teleport, and there's more than enough that its unlikely they'll ever get capped out
they're just not as big as a house so less room to decorate

Apartments also don’t have an automatic demolition

eg my NIN is currently level 66, there are 3 SB dungeons I could queue for, but would the HW level 60 dungeons give XP or no?

@limber sun not 5 highest, just highest
don't queue for a lvl 60 dungeon if you're 66
it would give like no exp
limber sun
it wouldn't make the queue time shorter to queue for more options? 😮

it can but you would be getting less exp if it was a lower lvl dungeon
limber sun
oh okay
wintry chasm
Just do Bardam Ravy
remote lintel

Level cap dungeons are really just places to farm endgame currency, some transmog, and certain crafting materials
limber sun
why is it that some X0 dungeons have the level sync icon but others don't? what's the difference there?
or, ilvl sync rather
twilit arch
usually the dungeons with an ilvl sync are initial expansion dungeons
so they put a ilvl sync on those to help out new tanks to that dungeon that dont necessarily have great gear
open coral
You should be able to drop the difficulty @brittle umbra
limber sun
so the ones without ilvl sync are harder because you need to have the appropriate gear?
twilit arch
use to be more of an issue when all jobs had more enmity reduction tools, since well geared dps could pull aggro pretty easily from tanks
no

@brittle umbra what are you having trouble with
