on pc

[frozen karma]

is there a command for a WHM guide?

[twilit arch]

ok then yes, you would need to make a new service account.

[glad verge]

cool thanks

[twilit arch]

no, because whm is pretty much the most straight forward of all the healers

!faq healerguide

[zinc orbit]

Zyrk's Bullshit Guide to the Principles of Healing

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yoq1zU2VgMJQ53PaJHaUtwA3S2aSz1C69qkLDaOmZY8/

[remote lintel]

i believe it's this button in the corner crisp

[leaden ginkgo]

is this the proper place to ask about kupo bot commands?

[twilit arch]

more or less covers for a white mage guide

yes here is fine, chocolates

[leaden ginkgo]

so for the kupo bot command market crystal "item" whats the update on the item?

like how frequently is it updated for the server price item

[twilit arch]

it draws from universalis website, which how often its updated depends entirely on players having the appropriate ACT plugin installed

so unfortunately the site and command can be off on prices

[glad verge]

is there a benefit to registering shadowbringers right away

[slate arrow]

being able to make an character using an expansion race

[quiet python]

question, Is there a cooldown on buying lands plots? Like If I left a server and wanted to sell my land plot, is there a wait time for the person I sell it to to buy it?

[twilit arch]

yes

whenever a plot is relinquished, the plot goes onto a hidden timer

[quiet python]

If I move servers without demolishing, do I get gil like I would if it auto demolished?

[slate arrow]

only if it's to a preferred or new server iirc?

[twilit arch]

its only if you're going from congested to preferred or to a new world

considering there's no congested nor new worlds atm, you will have to demolish the house

[finite socket]

so im doing the level 50 "raids" for main story, are they supposed to be very very easy or?

[slate arrow]

4 person dungeons aren't raids

If they're in trials, they're also meant to be easy unless they say Extreme

[remote lintel]

raids are 8 man and also not part of the main story

[finite socket]

I mean like the preatorium etc

its main story and 8 man

[twilit arch]

its an 8 man dungeon

that never happens again

and they're easy because almost everyone nowadays significantly outgears the dungeon

They were intended to be done with like ilvl 50

most players are i90-120

[halcyon glen]

Does Prae even ilvl sync

[twilit arch]

no, it syncs to the max ilvl of ARR

which is 130

[halcyon glen]

Ah

[twilit arch]

which is why its a steam roll

[grim adder]

im stupid

nvm uwu

[molten spruce]

a friend of mine wantsa to get relics, what does one need?

what level

[slate arrow]

which ones

Each relic corresponds to their respective level cap

[little swift]

first set of relics start at level50

then 60/70/80

[slate arrow]

And you can't get relics for jobs which didn't exist at the expansion launch

[little swift]

only 80 is usable for actual combat at the moment

[quiet magnet]

can you make profit off fishing

[slate arrow]

yes, but it depends on how

collectible fish (no, not the Rowena kind) can sell for a pretty penny sometimes

otherwise most of your profit comes from if the fish is used in the BiS recipe or selling reduction materials, namely sand

[quiet magnet]

whats the best way to make gil beshides quests

[slate arrow]

playing the marketboard

[quiet magnet]

so sell yur materials for a higher price that you get just selling them to a merchant?

like selling a hard to make potion?

[slate arrow]

well once you get past 50 you'll have to collect most of the materials since material merchants don't really exist in expansion zones

[quiet magnet]

so lets say i get the materials to make a max potion whatever hand maid then you sell that potion for a bit less than you would get from an npc

[dense pier]

My goodness.

How much perception do I need to get +3 with Pick Clean on a level 20 ARR node? I'm at 1444 perception.

[quiet magnet]

thats how ya make profit?

[slate arrow]

your first mistake was thinking people actually buy HP potions

[quiet magnet]

then how do they get them

[azure kettle]

How do I repeat doing 51-60floors without resetting my progress?

[lusty spear]

for firebird quest, i need to activate the lanner whistles to see the quest yeah?

[azure kettle]

Of potd

[slate arrow]

since potion items share the same cooldown, people usually buy main stat potions instead

if your healer is bad to the point of needing HP potions you have a problem

[quiet magnet]

so like a strengh potions?

[slate arrow]

yep

[quiet magnet]

WELP

im level 25 and doing solo quests i dont really do quests with other people only when i have to like the dungeons

[slate arrow]

if you're below level 80, don't try to make gil

[quiet magnet]

oh okay

[slate arrow]

Once you're at 80 your gil making options increase exponentially with Treasure Maps

[quiet magnet]

well i have none of dlc so i think i can only get to level 50

[normal breach]

is there a way to know which 2 im missing?

[gloomy ice]

@lusty spear Yes, you need to have used all seven items and have the mounts in your mount guide to get the quest.

[slate arrow]

@normal breach use your aether compass

[quiet magnet]

Whats the max level you can get without dlc

[obsidian patio]

50

[little swift]

!faq flying

[zinc orbit]

Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

'What zones can I fly in?'

Flying is only possible in the expansion zones.

[little swift]

@normal breach you can use that website to look for your missing ones

you can count them in order from left to right to match them up

you're missing current 2 and 8

[fathom blaze]

Hey, anyone know a way to try out different classes without levelling them. Kind of like simulate having a class @ level 80 and test on a training bot or something?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[fathom blaze]

So they don't have a practice arena to test jobs?

[slate arrow]

Nope

Closest thing is palace of the dead

Heaven on high doesn't open up until you're level 61

[solid crypt]

is there a tracker for ARR sightseeing logs?

[fathom blaze]

lol that's so shit.. great

Thx!

[obsidian patio]

@solid crypt https://tylian.net/sslog/

Click the entries for an image hint

[vestal nymph]

Can someone tell me how to craft garlond steel? I have all the requirements but I dont see it in the crafting log anywhere my bsm is at 63 atm.

[proud willow]

you need a book called Master Blacksmith 1 to learn that crafting recipe

there's a vendor in Mor Dhona that you can get it from

[vestal nymph]

I did that as well

[proud willow]

look for the recipe in the Special Recipe tab, it's above the 1-5,6-10,etc. categories

[vestal nymph]

Thanks man I found it

[solid crypt]

Thanks Wynne.

[obsidian patio]

None of the expansion logs have a time/weather requirement AFAIK, except for one in Stormblood that wants it done at dawn/sunrise

[solid crypt]

Yeah, that's why i asked for ARR specifically.

[umbral yacht]

Not sure if anyone has used the new online store for optional items yet? My account is Australian which seems they now have both flags on the EUD and GBP. In the past mog station the prices were in Euro. Just wondering if anyone else has tried it from Europe/Australia

seems like most European countries now have both EU and GBP as well

I think its leather crafting

[umbral yacht]

what is the problem? I am not an expert but have most crafts about level 70 now

[median inlet]

An item says it's "Dyable" but I don't have the right click option to dye. Do I need something else in order to do it?

[open heart]

I'll message you if thats okay, just to evoid spam

[umbral yacht]

ok

[obsidian patio]

If you haven’t, you have to unlock the ability to dye items in western Thanalan at vesper bay

Quest name should be “color your world”

[median inlet]

I can dye here

Oh nvm I found the issue

[glad verge]

how do i select which service account to use when i login from steam?

[remote lintel]

it should automatically use your account tied to steam

[glad verge]

its saying i dont have subscription time

but it says on my mog station that i have 30 days

[slate arrow]

are you using the right account

you cannot sign into standalone with a steam account and vice versa

[glad verge]

i only have one account with 2 service accounts

[slate arrow]

you can't sign into the standalone launcher with a steam account

you can't sign into the steam launcher with a standalone account

[glad verge]

i bought one from steam and the other for standalone

but they are on different service accounts

[slate arrow]

I don't know how to help then

[novel orbit]

If I do palace of the dead to floor 50 with one class can i get the weapon fpr another class from it?

[faint flare]

Yes

[covert ruin]

Hi anyone know of a weaver crafter? Thanks.

[novel orbit]

How hard is it to get past 50 alone?

[faint flare]

Not hard

Provided you have high aetherpool

You can solo 1-100 easily on basically every job if you have high aetherpool

[novel orbit]

What is high?

[faint flare]

And some jobs can do all 200

Capped

For ease

High enough to be synced on each floor set

So like 70+ or something

[novel orbit]

Yeah im not even close. Im 25/26 rn

On first floor

[obsidian patio]

You’ll get there with time and enough 51-60 grinding

[chilly fog]

in the tombstones of law event what does the "Magicked Prism (Job Mastery)" actually do?

[obsidian patio]

It’s a decorative firework that puts 3 stars above your head

[chilly fog]

oh ok

[gloomy mortar]

3 stars forever?

[vagrant copper]

For like 5-10 seconds

[gloomy mortar]

How do you turn it on off

[warped nest]

It is a firework

You use it

[vagrant copper]

You use the item. It goes bang. You wait 5-10 seconds. It goes away.

[warped nest]

It shows up

It dies down

[gloomy mortar]

Like Icarus Wing or Gridania Sparkler?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[deft quiver]

how do i level up beast tribe reputation?

just got to max level for the current tier im at

and its just sitting there without going up to the next one

is there a quest or something i need to do?

[vagrant copper]

Should be a around unless you're at max

[deft quiver]

oh ok

yeah i just found it

thanks

[stray dawn]

where do you go to visit FC house?

[remote lintel]

teleport menu

[sturdy cloud]

Hello according to this graph : was it a mistake to select Spriggan if the main thing I care about is Player interaction ?

[little swift]

no

content is matchmade across the entire data center

and you can world visit if oyu want to

also if that's from luckybancho i wouldn't call it super accurate either

[sturdy cloud]

Yeah but i's kinda unconvenient with the restrictions no? + less people mean a worse economy and stuff like that

[gloomy ice]

Those census figures are inaccurate and outdated in the best of times.

[warped nest]

Economy is effectively cross World.

[obsidian patio]

You can always visit other servers on your datacenter to buy from them

[warped nest]

As cross world visitors can buy from the MB

You just cannot sell on a different world

Furthermore, if a particular world is severely under, they are usually marked as Preferred to invite new character (new characters in preferred world get exp boost)

[sturdy cloud]

Ok thanks! But wouldn't that put seller on a less active server at a disadvantage still ?

[warped nest]

How so

[sturdy cloud]

Less trafic? I guess people don't really check all the worlds before buying an item

[little swift]

people are lazy

don't think too hard on it

[sturdy cloud]

But I guess on the other hand less trafic mean sell stuff at a higher price but then people from that world would notice and buy from an another world

[little swift]

its not like you can sell on other worlds either

[obsidian patio]

Yeah I generally don’t world hop for stuff unless it’s expensive

Like 1m+

[warped nest]

If you marked a popular item too expensive, populous world or not it won't sell.
If you marked a popular item cheap, eventually it will be sold.

It balances itself out eventually

[sturdy cloud]

Ok then, in worst case scenario there is still a payable object to definetely change world right ?

[warped nest]

Yes

You can pay for world transfer

If you want to sell from a different world or join a FC in a different world

[sturdy cloud]

Ok thank you all very much for the informations

[raven star]

If i close the ff14 launcher whiles its downloading, does the progress save?

[dense pier]

Is there any way to disable friendly white-arrow targeting animation and noise?

Every time I'm running around and I see a white arrow fly to me and the noise is freaks me out thinking I aggrod something

[steep sandal]

yah he finished those as well

[remote lintel]

is the job quest red

[empty parrot]

Can your friend screenshot the quest screen

[steep sandal]

doesnt appear on the npc from what i can see

is the warrior one

[faint flare]

@stray dawn no they dont

[empty parrot]

Or his main story quest bar

[thin bobcat]

Has anyone used a gaming keypad and would they recommend it for ff

[lament thorn]

I was under the impression that farming PotD floors 51-60 was good for exp farming. How do you reset it back to 51? I completed floor 60 and it progressed to 61 like normal.

[steep sandal]

k ill have a look thanks 🙂

[empty parrot]

Reset your progress at the NPC

[faint flare]

Start a new run

[novel orbit]

Where can I buy glamour prisms

[faint flare]

You can start at 51

[lament thorn]

So I have to start back at 1?

OH

[empty parrot]

Marketboard

[faint flare]

Or 200 seals at grand company

[warped nest]

@lament thorn once you clear 51-60 and did a short quest, you will be able to make new run at floor 1 or floor 51

[steep sandal]

below his msq panel on the top right where the job quest suggest should be is just blank

[lament thorn]

Ok cool ty

[steep sandal]

top left rather

[empty parrot]

Could it be he took it already?

[steep sandal]

its possible

[empty parrot]

Even if it's in progress or haven't started, if he filled all the requirements, the job quest should be under the MSQ bar

[versed bridge]

Is trial roulette worth doing? Or is it like the crappy guildhest roulette?

[warped nest]

It is fine

Trial and raid roulette are fine for exp

I usually do them when I needed a tad of exp to level up

[faint flare]

Trial is ok cause its quick

[steep sandal]

yah he did lol. thanks guys for helping me narrow it down

[radiant brook]

are you able to use fantasia in the wedding church's dressing room?

[slate arrow]

@radiant brook if you can log out in it, yes

I don't know if the wedding room counts as a zone or an instance

If it's an instance you'll end up right outside next to the NPC who lets you in

[leaden ginkgo]

I think i Finally figured out

[radiant brook]

do you also have to get married with the glamour they give you?

or can you go in whatever you want?

[gloomy ice]

You can wear anything. The dress and tux are just nice options.

[empty parrot]

Can go in with whatever, at least I've seen other people do it

[oak ice]

Masquerade weddings are the best

[radiant brook]

for the ceremony, can guests go in first? or the people getting married go in first?

[remote lintel]

either

[radiant brook]

thank you

[steel wedge]

Help real quick

I’m doing the quest A Sultana's Resolve

What area should I pick?

You can’t fail the choice

[steel wedge]

Oh you can’t?

[crimson wind]

/macroicon Verraise
/action Verraise
/p Stop RPing as a floor tile, <t>. You owe me 2,400 MP.

Would this work?

[little swift]

/macroicon Verraise
/action Verraise
/p Stop RPing as a floor tile, <t>. You owe me 2,400 MP.
@crimson wind it would work, but i'd recommend a couple things

1. put /merror off at the top to prevent the macro from redtexting you when it doesn't want to queue
2. put /micon verraise at the bottom so it executes the dead line last
3. add quotations to the skills or use auto-translate for them

also the message is whatever but people don't take kindly to a joke like that :/

also 4. repeat your action execution line several times to make sure it attempts to work properly and alleviates queue error a tad

[gloomy ice]

@steel wedge As this is getting into spoilers, I'll tag it. ||If anything we got off on the wrong foot. I wouldn't say he's entirely faultless, but he is not as malicious as we first thought. The whole scene is a way to show Nanamo's growth into her role and her resolve to use all means available to her, no matter what might have happened in the past. Lolorito may be a sketchy bastard, but that's exactly why Nanamo came to him for his advice.||

[leaden ginkgo]

[little swift]

starts outside the adventurers guild in uldah

[gloomy ice]

Starts in Ul'dah near the Chocobo Porter

[leaden ginkgo]

[steel wedge]

@gloomy ice fair enough I just don’t want it to turn into him being a great hero or something

[lavish vortex]

Hi! This line of weapon has a design for every job? https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Penthesilea's_Spear

Or just lance?

[crimson wind]

@little swift ok ty

[gloomy ice]

@lavish vortex Yeah that is DRG only. The weapon drops are all class specific.

[lavish vortex]

Thanks! And how do I get it?

I love the design

[gloomy ice]

Gold bunny chests in Hydatos I believe?

The final Eureka zone. If I'm remembering this right, it's a semi-rare drop from gold chests found by lucky rabbits.

[warm veldt]

How do I make the chat window smaller? Like the general/etc

The rest of my UI is much smaller lol

[celest bison]

Im curious.... if I subscribe at 11pm , will it still be count as day 1 and at midnight, it becomes day 2?

Cuz i just accidentally subbed at wrong time when its not even midnight yet...

[lean yarrow]

is there a way to search for high quality items on the market board? I'm only seeing the regular version

[celest bison]

I don’t remember if theres a search filter on marketboard that allows you to see only HQ items on the list

[lean yarrow]

oh I see the column..there just isnt any. alright.

[lavish vortex]

@gloomy ice thanks!

[lucid birch]

being new to ffxiv and pc gaming in general is there an optimal hotkey layout

[drifting atlas]

@celest bison it should end 30 days later at 11pm than. I think. The system doesn't discriminate in terms when you bought. It just give 30 full days.

@white sinew yes

[opal bough]

Is there a website where i can see every set gear in the game being used by a hyur? I found one but it hasn't been updated for the past few years

[remote lintel]

gamerescape or xiv style but xiv doesn't have the very latest armor

[feral drift]

Is it still worth it to get the 490 gears using tombstones? Are there going to be new tier of crafted gears with 5.3?

[remote lintel]

the alliance raid in 5.3 will drop 490 gear but it will be weekly locked

you can get the crystarium gear if you want I gues

[feral drift]

so no more new crafted gears?

[remote lintel]

don't remember

I don't think so

[raven sage]

I don't think so for combat

[gloomy ice]

New crafted sets with higher ilvl comes in even numbered patches, invariably.

Since 5.3 is an alliance raid, and not a new Eden raid tier, no new crafted sets for combat.

In fact 5.3 will make it possible to upgrade 490 tomestone gear without having to go into Savage so still worth getting.

[feral drift]

ah awesome, thanks guys!

[woeful nacelle]

You folks think that it's worth doing all 8 crafting dragonsong tools? With the next step coming in next patch maybe

[gloomy ice]

It seems likely that they'll be getting additional upgrade steps sometime during next patch. As it stands now, they're slightly below full meld Facet tools. It also seems likely, or at least it's widely assumed, that we'll be getting new crafted dol/doh sets next patch. If anything, I'd imagine the crafted tools will outpace them for a while, at least until the final upgrade steps for the Dragonsong tools hit.

[woeful nacelle]

hmm I'll probably do them anyways just to give me something to do lol

They glow don't they?

[gloomy ice]

Atm, no. Or at least my ALC tool didn't. Although it was a nice blue crystal.

[woeful nacelle]

Am I crazy or have I seen a glowing tool somewhere in this game?

[warped nest]

It exist

Via achievement

[woeful nacelle]

ahh thats where

[twilit arch]

ya the luminary and i forget the other tool name

blessed

[ionic hazel]

why cant i use this chest

[twilit arch]

what level is the chest you're currently wearing

[gloomy ice]

If it's higher level than your current piece, it won't work.

[ionic hazel]

ah

its 31

How do I unlock guildhest duty roulette for my friend
I don't remember how I unlocked it tbh

[gloomy ice]

Guildhests are unlocked after unlocking and completing your first Levequest. Guildhest Roulette opens up after you have two or more available.

[leaden ginkgo]

do I have to run MSQ again if I pick a new class?

or is it once per character?

[neat agate]

if I marry someone in the game
with platinum plan
do we both get the 2 seater
😳

[warped nest]

Think of class as weapon proficiency

[gloomy ice]

If on the same character, no. MSQ is one time. You do, however, get an EXP bonus for leveling additional classes on a single character.

[warped nest]

Like how you don't start a new save file to level a new Pokémon

[gloomy ice]

@neat agate It requires both to have the plat, but yes. You'll both get the two seater.

[warped nest]

!faq armouryexp

[zinc orbit]

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

[neat agate]

lmfaooo lets go

did it give an xp bonus btw or was I thinking of another game?

I seem to remember having an xp bonus for it

[gloomy ice]

(Actually, you can also get the mount from the cheaper gold plan as well)

[neat agate]

oh really?

alright gold plan it is

[gloomy ice]

But, no, there isn't an exp bonus for getting married. You do, however, get a handy teleport. It's on a half hour cooldown but it takes you to your spouse's exact position.

[neat agate]

I see

were there any other 2 seater mounts that I could get in the game

other than mogstation

cause like

thats the only reason we're doing it

like

we wont be doing e4s any time soon

since my friends are new to the game

[gloomy ice]

Refer a Friend gets 2. Mogstation has a handful. Eden 4 Savage drops a 4-seater. And running Mentor Roulette 2000 times gives one as well.

[neat agate]

is there a time limit for refer a friend?

[twilit arch]

no

[gloomy ice]

As long as they enter the code before they subscribe for the first time.

[twilit arch]

The only time limit is on the person using a raf code

since you can only use it before you subscribe for the first time

but for someone offering a code, there's no limit on it

[neat agate]

😔

rip

we should have done that

[obsidian patio]

note that the mounts from RAF are from giving people your code

not for using one

[twilit arch]

you can always generate a code and put it on the subreddit

for RAF codes

[neat agate]

alright

thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

hey all, i am in MSQ in soroban we trust. Do you know when I unlock scaevan gear ? I am lvl 72 : )

[obsidian patio]

After the quest "Stormblood" at level 70.

[leaden ginkgo]

do i have to finish the stormblood quest line ?

[obsidian patio]

the base story, yes.

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks :333

[tulip plover]

I know i prob already asked this but when is the most optimal to lvl gathering ans crafting

[obsidian patio]

I don't recommend leveling up crafting classes until you have a decent starting pile of gil to buy materials (like 100k+) or have leveled up gatherers to supply yourself.

As for gatherers, you can pretty much level them up whenever since they can do perfectly fine on vendor-bought gear and can slowly pay themselves back with what you gather while leveling them up.

[tulip plover]

Ok so i have 400k

Will that suffice

[obsidian patio]

depends on how self-dependent you want to be with crafting materials from gathering stuff

Leveling up crafters is very much a "do you want to spend time or spend gil"

[lapis cave]

How much work do you need to put in to get top 100 for the season in pvp?

[obsidian patio]

I never bothered with ranked PVP so I can't say.

[barren tundra]

Is there a way to be able to buy the game on amazon atm? My friend is trying to get the complete edition on there and everytime he clicks checkout he gets this
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/473015716526686209/729554832423387216/unknown.png

Even though on the store page it says that it's available

Is it possible that it's blocked for anyone outside of NA

[obsidian patio]

Are you making sure to buy from the EU version of amazon?

if they're not in the US

[barren tundra]

They're trying to buy the US version for their NA acc

But they don't live in the USA (At least, not ATM)

[obsidian patio]

Can you post the link to the exact item they're trying to buy? just in case there's a special thing about it

[barren tundra]

Alright

Oh wow that’s uh quite long

But this is the one I believe @obsidian patio

[lime geode]

you can cut off anything after the ?

it's just a query string

[obsidian patio]

Is there a reason why they cannot use the Square Enix Store? Like does it give a similar error?

[steel wedge]

So I just did the quest return of the bull... and I’m confused ||how did they summon a primal without crystals?||

[obsidian patio]

@steel wedge ||the crystals were hidden in the water, IIRC||

i'd have to reread the dialogue to double-check

[remote lintel]

@steel wedge ||the guards who were supposed to keep the area free of crystals were moles for the snake women||

[steel wedge]

Ah I see

[steel wedge]

Ok cool ty

[obsidian patio]

@barren tundra this part of the product might be the reason why

[lucid birch]

how does one play this game on pc im very new to pc gaming and these hotkeys are difficult

[remote lintel]

people usually have normal 1-5 keys, then ctrl + 1-5, then shift + 1-5, etc

or they use the qwerty + zxcv keys

[elfin wagon]

should whm b using cure 1 in bardams mettle ?? did my first run in it with drk nd Hm,

[remote lintel]

not really

[little swift]

nope

[steel wedge]

Also just wondering as I got done with the omega raid ||do we ever see alpha again as of yet... I feel he has to come back at some point if not|| :3

[obsidian patio]

You can see him and Omega randomly in the world

[remote lintel]

you can see him as an npc in one location that i forget

oh its random

[little swift]

they have access to tetragrammaton and afflatus solace, and should not be using cure 1 to any capacity

[steel wedge]

Does anything interesting happen do you get a quest?

[remote lintel]

dont think so

[lucid birch]

would i use my pinky finger for using ctrl and shift?

[obsidian patio]

A few places I've personally seen them is Outer La Noscea near the campfire and Mor Dhona in the big building

[remote lintel]

yes feds

[elfin wagon]

ah okay i thought so o.o i died on double pulls nd i was cycling my cooldowns nd stuff nd i noticed they Never used cure 2 😔

[steel wedge]

@obsidian patio Well it’s a nice touch regardless hopefully we will see them again soon in later content

[obsidian patio]

Cure 1 basically becomes obsolete once you get Cure 2 since WHM has the best mana efficiency of the 3 healers.

[lucid birch]

im sorry if im sounding like a idoit and bothering you guys

[simple shore]

Kinda wish SE would just remove Freecure so that new players would stop getting baited into playing poorly by it.

[nova kayak]

So, I'm very new to this game. I'm a lvl 50 white mage, but all I've really done is main quests... Is there anything else I can do that would help me out?

[remote lintel]

these

except the leve ones and the ones that give classes

[little swift]

@lucid birch thats a comfort/preference thing. my friend who also plays this game hits ctrl with the pinky area palm portion of his hand

[barren tundra]

@obsidian patio he wants to buy it with a gift card he has if possible. He also has a US account (lives there for uni, visiting family outside atm)

[obsidian patio]

Might need to use a VPN then

[barren tundra]

Also, we tried using a different friend’s computer who currently resides in the US and we get the same error

[junior yacht]

maybe the account's been flagged as suspicious?

[dense pier]

How do I /micon a pvp combo ability?

[nova kayak]

Ahh, alright! Thanks @remote lintel! Also, what stats does WHM usually lean towards?

[dense pier]

/micon "Prominence Combo" pvpaction is not working

[remote lintel]

i believe the major stats are mind and piety

[barren tundra]

The amazon acc got flagged possibly?

[twilit arch]

take out combo @dense pier

[junior yacht]

i don't think you're allowed to macro the combo icons

[nova kayak]

Sweet! thanks again!

[twilit arch]

should also note that you can't use the second part of the combo afaik

needs to be the first ability in the chain

so it'd be total eclipse

[junior yacht]

what is this macro intended to be?

[dense pier]

So then

I can't have the macro update like the actual prominence combo then

[twilit arch]

no, macros dont work like that

[oak ice]

@nova kayak Do not get too much piety, white mage have very good mana tools and need very low amounts

[little swift]

piety isn't a main stat either, its a substat

[nova kayak]

Ahh, ok!

[lime geode]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yoq1zU2VgMJQ53PaJHaUtwA3S2aSz1C69qkLDaOmZY8/edit

Mind is most important by far

[oak ice]

Item levels naturally come with Mind, and after that you want a comfortable level of piety and then mostly crit and direct hit or determination

[simple shore]

Crits king for basically everyone

[slate crow]

Had Nael almost dead, but suddenly wipes us.

[junior tundra]

what do you do to avoid storge heretics fork attack

[simple shore]

Remind me of what that is?

[junior tundra]

the one where the pyramids form and cross light shaped beams

[slate arrow]

it's the one with the feathers

for that you just have to be good at projecting the lines

Shortcut is you can use one of the corners to avoid most of it, but you'll have to move over for at least one feather

[oak ice]

Heretic's Fork is just a cross shaped AoE in a + pattern from Storge

[obsidian patio]

the safest way to dodge that combo is to hug the corners of the arena

[ionic hazel]

Why does recommended gear favor gear that has a higher spirit bond

even tho it has worse stats

[junior yacht]

it shouldn't be doing that

[twilit arch]

what item is it recommending vs what you're wearing

because spiritbond is not one of the things it takes into consideration

[junior yacht]

it prioritizes main stats - str, dex, int, etc

[obsidian patio]

multi-slot items mess it up a bit

[junior yacht]

yeah

[slate arrow]

I'm fairly sure that might be a bug then

[junior yacht]

they have stats for two pieces of gear

but the auto-recommend only treats it as one-slot gear and sees that it has significantly higher stats than it should

[ionic hazel]

ah yeah that makes a lot more sense

recom gear adds the two items vs 1

so in total the head+chest has better stats than just the chest

[sturdy cloud]

Hello ! What would be the EU server with the biggest RP "comunity" ?

(I searched on the internet but most post seems outdated now)

[ionic hazel]

I think a lot of the populated servers have mixed guilds

that allow you to pve and rp

[sturdy cloud]

ok thanks

[gritty oracle]

If I got Ivalice knocked out already, how fast can I get my relic?

[twilit arch]

like 30-40mins

depending on how slow you read

[slate arrow]

and how long the instance takes you

[gritty oracle]

@sturdy cloud I know for one Omega is the RP centre of Chaos.

Thanks!

[worthy summit]

1k poetics and after few cutscenes you can get first relic in less than 5min

[obsidian patio]

don't need poetics for the first relic

[twilit arch]

first relic doesn't cost anything

[worthy summit]

Oh right, first one is given

Even better

[sturdy cloud]

@gritty oracle Thanks !

[nova beacon]

how to use that second bar

https://gyazo.com/f22511d169593682deb8b551d4598fef

[obsidian patio]

the default keybinds for the second hotbar are control + 1 to =

Though I do recommend rebinding the keys past 5 or 6 to something more comfortable, like the ones around WASD

[grim adder]

I didn't know botany leves were so easy ;-; I was leveling manually for so long

[obsidian patio]

Most keyboard players tend to use QERFZXCV as hotbar keybinds

[nova beacon]

yeahhh that would be easier for me gotta change it

[unique oasis]

why does the start of the living liquid raid look like pharos sirius

[gloomy ice]

The architecture has more in common with that of Idyllshire/Hinterlands ruins, if anything. As for the stairs and such, it's your climb up Alexander's arm from the inside.

The names of the instances tell you your relative position inside the structure. Fist > Cuff (wrist and forearm) > Arm (forearm to upper arm) > Burden (shoulder).

[leaden ginkgo]

I just hit lvl 40, my gear item level is 30, but my MSQ is around 34, should I buy new gear?

[gloomy ice]

Up to level 50, it's a good practice to replace gear every five levels. After that, you'll need to do it a bit more frequently, but no need to worry about 50+ yet.

[twilit arch]

shouldnt really need to go out of your way to buy new gear

msq will generally give you more than enough

that said though your accessories are likely pulling down your ilvl but below 50 they don't really make or break anything

[leaden ginkgo]

understood, thank you

[remote lintel]

for smn do you basically use your pet skills as your standard gcd until you run out then you use ruin

[normal breach]

anyone know the path to get to the top left of this map

been running aroudn for 30 mins now

[remote lintel]

inside the mountain

[proud willow]

go to the tower where the aetheryte is, go up the stairs, and exit through the 2nd floor door

[remote lintel]

there's a top bridge and a lower bridge

take the low bridge

[normal breach]

top bridge and low bridge inside teh aetheryite building?

[obsidian patio]

yep

[normal breach]

ok ty found it

didnt eralize the 2nd floor had an exit too

[oak ice]

@remote lintel The Egi Assaults are your strongest GCDs next to Ruin 4. But you really only want to make sure you don't overcap on charges since you can't use them during Bahamut and Phoenix phases. Other than that you can delay them a bit if you know you have to move soon

[remote lintel]

so keep them under 2 charges?

[oak ice]

Yes, don't let them overcap

Easy rule of thumb is to spend them just before Baha/Phoenix phases

[remote lintel]

yeah I've been following the opener but beyond that people just say it's about management basically

[oak ice]

Yeah, basically you can save egi assaults/ruin 4s if you know there will be lots of movement coming up in the fight

[remote lintel]

so the whole rotation isn't super strict?

[oak ice]

Not outside of using Bahamut and Phoenix when you have to

!faq smncycle

[zinc orbit]

The two minute cycle by Edyis Darkbane and Elevation Xx (Faerie)

[remote lintel]

I see

it just looks daunting

[oak ice]

Aptly named filler phases

[twilit arch]

its easier when you break them down into their appropriate phases

can kind of think of it like brd songs

just that smn has 4 phases vs brd's 3 songs phases

[remote lintel]

so after bahamut I can basically sprinkle the ruin 4s throughout?

[spare plinth]

Are the people in ffxiv not toxic?

[remote lintel]

not really

[spare plinth]

As in they don’t yell at the healer or tank if they’re new and are inexperienced in raids and dungeons?

[remote lintel]

if they say they're new then they probably won't yell

[spare plinth]

So no “OMG scholar noob”

[oak ice]

Ye, make sure not to overcap on ruin 4s from egi assaults either, and then use ruin 4 for movement and weaving windows

[remote lintel]

gotcha ty

[spare plinth]

If I just say sorry new to scholar, they will be “oh ok”?

[remote lintel]

yeah

as long as you're not standing there doing nothing generally no player will be toxic to you

[shrewd owl]

yeah ffxiv is considered to be one of the relatively nicer mmo communities

[spare plinth]

What’s a trash pull

[leaden ginkgo]

normal mob pulls

you shouldn't worry too much if you're just starting out scholar, or healers in general

[sick glen]

where is white mage master

i want the quest to unlock skill level 35 i forgot the place xD

[twilit arch]

south shroud

camp tranquil is closest aetheryte

[sick glen]

thanks

[spare plinth]

Like dungeons?

My first healer in ffxiv is scholar

I’m gonna level conjuror and white mage as well

I don’t usually play healers in mmos, should I learn with white mage instead of scholar?

[remote lintel]

up to you

[bitter plaza]

it might be easier but it's a personal choice

[remote lintel]

if you like scholar then play it

[bitter plaza]

white mage is reactive, scholar is proactive

[spare plinth]

Scholar I heard you have to keep an eye on aetherflow along with bossing the fairy around

[bitter plaza]

if you like to think two steps ahead and shield incoming damage, then scholar, if you prefer to wait for the damage to be dealt and then heal it up, then white mage

the fairy was simplified a lot in shb

[spare plinth]

I think scholar is best if you know the dungeon and boss already

[bitter plaza]

you can still order it to move and there's one ability you have to directly command it to use, but it's not as micromanageable as it used to be

[stray dawn]

where do you get Gysahl Green to summon companion?

[hidden turret]

ugh, after returning after a year and a half, i can't decide what I want I want to play and level through Shadowbringers

is there one job that's way over played, one underplayed?

[stray dawn]

sounds like meta vs nonmeta xD

[bitter plaza]

you don't see a lot of monks, at least it feels like

difficult job to play because of all the positionals

[remote lintel]

@stray dawn various merchants but you can buy from bango zango in limsa near the aetheryte

[hidden turret]

yea, was a Drg and Pld main in Stormblood, monk may be to much haha. However I was a monk main in 2.0

[stray dawn]

where's limsa?

[remote lintel]

under your teleport menu?

[twilit arch]

limsa lominsa lower decks

[remote lintel]

limsa lominsa lower decks

[stray dawn]

oh, ok. thought it was a city xD

[remote lintel]

it is

it's one of the 3 main cities

[grim adder]

Should I work towards getting the Adept gear set for crafting?

[obsidian patio]

ehh, it's a nice set but quickly gets outdated once you hit level 60/61.

though the boots do make for good glamour

!iglam Adept's Thighboots

[zinc orbit]

**Adept's Thighboots** **:** Feet

[obsidian patio]

has a unique model and is all-class.

[grim adder]

oo okay

My culinarian is level 58 so I'll save it for now

tyty!

But at level 61 what should I aim to get?

[obsidian patio]

The Bloodhempen set (i180 gear)

you can also go for the Handmaster accessories and belt which can be bought in Idyllshire after completing the quest "Go West, Craftsman" in Mor Dhona

which are level 60 accessories

[grim adder]

Thank you!

[past mantle]

Hi do you have to be a certain level before you can chat in global or other people chatting?

[remote lintel]

there's no global chat

[past mantle]

ahh ok

[proud willow]

Zone-wide is /shout which requires you to have purchased the game (not the free trial) but there is no level requirement

[past mantle]

i have purchased it

[sturdy cloud]

Server with xp boost means that there are severly underactive or it can be just by a small margin ?

[past mantle]

you can text people?

[remote lintel]

they were less populated at the time they became preferred

you can private message people

[obsidian patio]

at this point preferred servers are probably bigger than most of the regular servers due to how long they've been preferred

@past mantle /tell Firstname Lastname

[past mantle]

thanks

[obsidian patio]

if they're on another world you do /tell firstname lastname@worldname

so sending a tell to me if you're on another server in Aether would be /tell Wynne Yilmaz@Gilgamesh

[sturdy cloud]

Ok thanks then @obsidian patio lol

[past mantle]

thats a lot of help ty

[obsidian patio]

another tip is that pressing enter right after entering their name but without text past that defaults your chat to sending that person a tell until you change your current default chat

which means you won't need to keep typing out the command for each line you send

[leaden ginkgo]

Sometimes when I type too much in chat, I cant type any more

So I have to split the text in half

Anyone knows what shall I do?

[gloomy ice]

Chat character limit is hard locked. Not much to do but break it up into smaller paragraphs.

[leaden ginkgo]

No not like lots of sentences

Just basic short sentences

Not even 1 sentence

[obsidian patio]

you shouldn't be hitting limits with that short of a message

unless you're sending them extremely fast

[gloomy ice]

Hmm. I am aware that there is a short timer in between /say chat messages allowed. Unsure if that applies towards other chat channels.

[leaden ginkgo]

No not even fast sending messages

[gloomy ice]

That's an oddly specific issue. I'm sorry but I don't know what could be causing that. 🤔

It comes with a weapon and a set of gear but no accessories. You'll have to buy those on your own separately.

[surreal elm]

Ah alright thanks! Time to try gunbreaker

[junior tundra]

is there a guide to gear up as a fresh lvl 80

[tidal yarrow]

I just started samurai, there's an ability that give you the opportunity to use any combod attack instantly, what's the best usage of it?

[warped nest]

Use it to build the Flower or Moon Sen

Single target would be Kasha or Gekko

AOE would be Ouka and Mangetsu (it is not like you have other choices...)

[tidal yarrow]

yea

okay

[warped nest]

Practical use case, if you don't mind me being naggy

You have Snow Sen from Hakaze - Yukikaze

You pop Meikyo, then do Kasha and Gekko quickly to get Flower and Moon Sen

Do a Midare Setsugekka to spend all Sen

[obsidian patio]

@junior tundra if you have the gil and are willing to spend it, buy the HQ i480 Neo-Ishgardian stuff from the marketboard

the set as a whole is pretty cheap due to 5.2 being out for so long

[warped nest]

Afterward, do either Kasha or Gekko once to get a Sen. Then go back to your normal combos to get remaining Sen and maintain your Jinpu/Shifu buff

[tidal yarrow]

okay, ty so much!

[warped nest]

It is more straightforward on AOE scenario

Np, good luck and have fun

[tidal yarrow]

oh also I have an ability with like a bloody hand on it can't tell the name and I don't get what it does

it's not an attack

hold on

[leaden ginkgo]

gives HP whenever you attack

[warped nest]

!action Bloodbath

[zinc orbit]

**Bloodbath** : lvl 12 PGL LNC ROG MNK DRG NIN SAM (90.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Converts a portion of physical damage dealt into HP.
Duration: 20s

Powered by XIVAPI

[tidal yarrow]

oh..

[warped nest]

If you have just gotten samurai just now

I suggest finding a striking dummy

Remove everything from your hotbar

Then slowly add them back while you read the tooltip and use it on the dummy

You need to reorganize the hotbar anyway, might as well "simulate" leveling a samurai while you are at it

This works well for me in picking up high level expansion jobs

[tidal yarrow]

oh I already kinda did that! and I already created my hotbar that way

[warped nest]

👌

Have fun with samurai, feel free to drop by and ask questions when you got em

[tidal yarrow]

I'm always in this chat asking for something xD

[grim adder]

Is there anything special about timed nodes for gathering?

[obsidian patio]

unspoiled/legendary nodes vanish if you exit the window, regardless of how many items you gathered from it

So make sure you have enough GP to do the actions you want before opening up the gathering window for them

[grim adder]

Do they give special items? o-o

wait no that would make the most sense

woops

Can you change the music lol

[marble drift]

overall?

only the volume

[past mantle]

[marble drift]

yeah nah mate. you can change music in a house or appartment with what is basically a stereo you can place as furniture

and you can turn battle themes off

and mounts play different music (which you can also turn off)

[cloud lake]

How do you get #39 moon flute for blue mage? Im missing that and 42 for the starter ones

[twilit arch]

clear stage 10 in masked carnivale

and #42, which is doom, comes from completing 20 stages

and then there's Angel Whisper, which is BLU's Raise, from completing all 30 stages.

[cloud lake]

Do I have to do all up until stage 10 or just stage 10

[obsidian patio]

10 different stages

[cloud lake]

Alright

[stray dawn]

should I assign a class for my retainer now or later?

now

combat retainers all get the same things

gathering retainers get what each gatherer gets respectively

[stray dawn]

so conjurer is fine?

[slate arrow]

yes

[stray dawn]

[slate arrow]

do note the retainer's highest level is locked to your level in that class/job

[past mantle]

@marble drift ty just not great music at times lol

How do you get new weapons is that level orientated in only level 4

ok

rn its kinda boring

[marble drift]

it should be first priority. side stuff later

[twilit arch]

regardless, the MSQ is 100% required

[nova beacon]

msq?

[twilit arch]

as almost everything is locked behind it

so ignoring it is pretty much not an option

msq = main scenario quest

[nova beacon]

well ok

[cosmic pilot]

do this too @nova beacon

[nova beacon]

oh i ignored most of them

@cosmic pilot should i go back to first town and do them all?

[cosmic pilot]

Some side content, iirc are behind those

[twilit arch]

you can skip the ones that are "leves of X" or "so you want to be x"

[cosmic pilot]

Plus if you play in preferred server it’s better to do some to level up

you can skip the ones that are "leves of X" or "so you want to be x"
Exactly

[twilit arch]

leves aren't really necessary to unlock, as they're not that great of xp for combat classes

and "so you want to be x" are just class unlocks

[cosmic pilot]

I overleved because of those

[twilit arch]

which while you're free to pick up that class whenever you feel like, they are ofc not necessary to unlock right away

but in general, yeah its a good idea to pick up as they unlock content

[marble drift]

You have the crazy powerful Road to 70 buff Rising. thats why you're overleveled

[cosmic pilot]

[twilit arch]

when it comes to expansions, there are going to be some that unlock aether currents

which will be required for flying

[marble drift]

just be sure to pick up some alternate classes to feed xp into at 50 😛

[cosmic pilot]

You have the crazy powerful Road to 70 buff Rising. thats why you're overleveled
@marble drift yea

[marble drift]

cause I mean its free xp right?

[cosmic pilot]

just be sure to pick up some alternate classes to feed xp into at 50 😛
I regret not doing that

[marble drift]

oof

[cosmic pilot]

And didn’t do that PoTD cause I overleveled anyway

[lofty pulsar]

for DRK, rampart and shadow wall should never be used at the same time right? or does it stack?

[marble drift]

it does stack

but there is no situation where they should be

[twilit arch]

while they do stack, you generally do not want to use them together. you want to stagger their usage

[lofty pulsar]

ok

and how should I use interject?

[marble drift]

When you see the flashing cast bar

[twilit arch]

!faq interject

[zinc orbit]

Interrupt

[marble drift]

it looks drastically different to other cast bars

[nova beacon]

what becoming carpenter,blacksmith etc.. give me?

[twilit arch]

they're crafter classes

[lofty pulsar]

cool ty

[nova beacon]

emm can i be dragoon / blacksmith and make myself dragon armor ?:D

[twilit arch]

sure, though not all dragoon armour is made by blacksmith

[marble drift]

you can be every class in the game

[oak ice]

You can be all classes on one character

[twilit arch]

something to keep in mind is that crafting and gathering are very much their own classes

they have their own set of skills, and gear

so its often recommended to wait until you're max level before dabbling in them

[nova beacon]

there is max level inthis game?

[twilit arch]

its also recommended to level them all at together, to save on inventory space and money since they often require materials from each other

current max lvl is 80

[jade quartz]

Level cap is 80

[nova beacon]

why 80 every ff i played had 99 cap

bruh

[jade quartz]

Actually the max level in the original Final Fantasy was 50

The level cap increases by ten levels with every expansion.

[nova beacon]

in final fantasy 1 on psp it was 99

[jade quartz]

That is a change from the original, yes.

[marble drift]

the psp was a remake

[nova beacon]

yeah it was

[oak ice]

In 2 it was 16

[nova beacon]

i played gba too

[jade quartz]

A Realm Reborn = 50
Heavensward = 60
Stormblood = 70
Shadowbringers = 80

[nova beacon]

oh

i get it

[junior tundra]

is it normal to have long queue times for crown of the immaculate

[jade quartz]

If you're a DPS, yes

[grim adder]

Are you doing it during normal server times? o-o

[jade quartz]

if you're a tank, still kinda.

[junior tundra]

its 8pm in japan

[jade quartz]

It will definitely pop in time, though.

It's in the trial roulette.

[oak ice]

It relies on other people needing it and people doing trial roulette at 80, so the pool is heavily reduced

[past mantle]

Hi done all my side quests level 4 how do i get to level 5?

im doing to the bannock

i have red symbols

[stray dawn]

whats the difference between these 2 sidequest?

[oak ice]

One is started, the other isn't

[molten spruce]

how do i unlock the sightseeing log?

[forest laurel]

left is one you can take
right is the one you already have

[simple shore]

The symbol on the right indicates the location of an objective of a quest

You'll see that alot

[oak ice]

The bar area in gridania @molten spruce

[twilit arch]

ARR log is unlocked via the side quest "Sight to behold" lvl 20 in gridania

[molten spruce]

thxx

and where do i exchange my silver bags o gil?

of

[twilit arch]

allagan pieces can be sold to any vendor

[molten spruce]

ok

[warped nest]

@past mantle on the open map, there are blue big circle

These are called FATEs

Complete them gives you some exp

[wintry chasm]

Also I'm 100% sure you haven't don't your hunting log Aussie

Which is kinda...what you should be doing

Not side quests

Hunting log is amazing for low levels

Hunting log being unlocked after your first job quest which you should have been doing anyway

[kind eagle]

Where do i get nice outfit as a new playe

r

[warped nest]

How new?

1 hour new: mogstation
Few hour new: Hall of Novice or Grand Company

[nova beacon]

https://gyazo.com/80f28cf21aa20d3d89d8829a650fef2b

thanks game

[kind eagle]

Ikr

It's hard to wait for people

most player already reach end game shit

[marble drift]

you're a dps. you outnumber the the other roles by like 5 to 1

[nova beacon]

i cant enter solo\

[kind eagle]

well

the dungeon

[faint flare]

You can but you'll die

[kind eagle]

is sooo LONG

[wintry chasm]

It's not that long

Jeez

[nova beacon]

well i hate waiting

[kind eagle]

it is

1hour

[wintry chasm]

But yeah the wait time had nothing to do with people reaching endgame. Just most people play DPS

@kind eagle the hell are you queuing for?

[nova beacon]

this is main quest

[faint flare]

Well DPS have longer que times

Sooo

[nova beacon]

oh i found 1 dps

[faint flare]

If you want shorter ques, then Tank.or healer

[nova beacon]

2 more people

[faint flare]

Story dungeons.are in roulettes so it pops eventually

[wintry chasm]

Yeah tanks and healers pretty much have instant queues

[kind eagle]

i Put english only

[faint flare]

Put all languages

Its faster

[kind eagle]

Yeh

[wintry chasm]

Though Whinlit, that screenshot you showed only said 30 seconds

[kind eagle]

my friend told me that

[nova beacon]

and i found tank UwU

time elapsed

[wintry chasm]

While it's been like 4 minutes since that's still not long

[nova beacon]

average wait time 14min

[wintry chasm]

14 minutes is pretty quick for DPS tbh

Roughly I'd say it's 15-20

[nova beacon]

;_;

[wintry chasm]

That's what you get for playing the popular role

[faint flare]

Least its not like other mmos where old dungeons basically never pop

[wintry chasm]

You don't have to sit in front of the dungeon btw

[nova beacon]

lancer is popular?

[marble drift]

is this your first mmo? cause this is not an uncommon issue

[faint flare]

Dps in general

[nova beacon]

ah you mean dps

[wintry chasm]

DPS is popular

[nova beacon]

ofc its popular

who dont like dealing dmg with cool weapons

[wintry chasm]

You don't need to do nothing in front of the dungeon btw

[stray dawn]

coming from OW, ofc dps is popular, people going 4+ dps in a game xD

[wintry chasm]

You can go off and change classes and areas and do things while you wait

[nova beacon]

yeah

[wintry chasm]

Go unlock other classes or something

[nova beacon]

now you cant go 4 dps in ranked D:

[spice shell]

dps is a pretty low stress role, so people gravitate to it. plus more jobs overall and more options

[nova beacon]

btw i heard i can change to any class on 1 char do i have to buy new set of armor and weapons then?

[jade quartz]

well

low perceived stress

[marble drift]

I mean stress is subjective

I personally find tanking low-stress

[spice shell]

its objectively less responsibility in low level content though

[jade quartz]

at endgame you could make the case that dps are the highest stress because they have like an infinite ceiling for optimisation

[faint flare]

You can be any job on 1 character yes

Gotta get the gear through

And level it up

[jade quartz]

It's not less responsibility if you place high value on clearing faster

which most players do

[spice shell]

tank or healer suck, wipes make it take that much longer

[nova beacon]

wait wait

i have to level up from lvl 1 if i change clas?

[open coral]

Yes

[faint flare]

The base classes start at 1

[vivid wolf]

It's pretty fast

[shrewd owl]

depends which class/job you got

[faint flare]

Expansion jobs start higher

[open coral]

Every job levels independently from the others.

[shrewd owl]

you have the armoury bonus to help level

[open coral]

But you get a bonus to xp gains.

[vivid wolf]

You get a boost when you have a higher leveled class

[nova beacon]

ok but i dont have to do it if i change to dragoon from lancer

[kind eagle]

Idk how to get outfit

so im using this

[vivid wolf]

1-40 Lancer took me like a week, 1-42 arch took me less than 2 days

[faint flare]

Dragoon is a advancement of lancer

[open coral]

Right, because Dragoon is the direct upgrade job from Lancer

[faint flare]

Classes are just baby versions of jobs

[nova beacon]

mhmm ok

[vivid wolf]

Actually that makes me wonder

[kind eagle]

Can i stop at level 50 bard

[vivid wolf]

Are there classes with 2 jobs?

[nova beacon]

https://gyazo.com/9531a6f06b75c1c6f9feac15b3655920

[kind eagle]

and go for Oni class?

[faint flare]

Yes

[nova beacon]

still no healer

[faint flare]

Arcanist

Goes to 2 jobs

And they share.xp

[kind eagle]

BRO

Are u at

kujata?

[faint flare]

Since you get class xp

[nova beacon]

eh

[faint flare]

When you level on a job

[nova beacon]

if this is what you mean no

https://gyazo.com/74d8e06e737e033fadac436790f40b6a

[kind eagle]

OOH

rip

thought it was u

[vivid wolf]

Queues are across datacenters i think

Not just worlds

[faint flare]

No

Cross server

[nova beacon]

cool

[faint flare]

Not cross data server

[vivid wolf]

Eh yeah that's what i meant

My bad

[faint flare]

You que with all servers on your data centre

[stray dawn]

cross data server, some people going to be so laggy

[faint flare]

One day we hope its a thing

[vivid wolf]

Please no

[nova beacon]

healer plz?

[vivid wolf]

I don't want to get queued with chinese experts

I already feel bad enough

[faint flare]

China has their own servers

[stray dawn]

if 1/2 across the world ping is below 100ms, then yes

[faint flare]

And client

[kind eagle]

Why are there so less healers?

[vivid wolf]

Because everyone loves big hit splashes

[faint flare]

Cause people dont like responsibility

[vivid wolf]

I just play bard for that
