Thats the adventure in need @finite socket
open coral
You... aren't obligated to accept random FC invites though...
sleek spoke
how do i exit this one and find a decent fc with like-minded adults
finite socket
Oh so what do i get for doing this then? i havent done the daily leveling one yet
open coral
Go into the FC menu and click the "Leave Free Company" button
faint flare
Boosted xp that scalrd with your level once a day
median locust
@finite socket The Adventurer in need bonus isn't what you get from the daily bonus, it's something else entirerly
wintry chasm
FC menu found under the social tab
little swift
That's the reward for going into the roulette as the needed role@finite socket. You get the bonus on completion
finite socket
Alright so i should do all 4 daily things, and recieve alot of exp?
little swift
The number for the daily bonus is scaled to level
sleek spoke
ty so how do i join a new one now
tidal yarrow
someone has to invite you
wintry chasm
Ask for an invite or accept one given to you
open coral
You can ask around in /shout chat in major cities for FCs that are recruiting
little swift
@finite socket unlock alliance raid roulette and that's also a big bonus
open coral
Then see if there's one that suits you
sleek spoke
ok, will try ! :3
finite socket
Where do i unlock that?
little swift
50/60/70 isnt really for exp @finite socket
First alliance raid questline begins in mordhona with the quest legacy of allag
median locust
Roulettes that give decent exp: Levelling, Main Story, Alliance
little swift
Frontlines as well
median locust
I also like to run Trials and Normal Raids just because they're a tiny bit more exp and they're fun
finite socket
Oh so when i hit the leveling wall in the new expansion, what would be my best bet for exp then?
ionic hazel
median locust
The previous highest level levelling dungeon
At 73 that's the lv73 dungeon, which is unlocked by MSQ
little swift
Your roulettes mighty then highest level leveling dungeon
little swift
@ionic hazel yes heavensward lets you do your heavensward job quests
finite socket
Alright so i should do the daily roulettes right now though?
median locust
@ionic hazel Yes you need to reach heavensward to get lv52+ quests and skills
faint flare
Yes, levelling roulette should give you a few million xo
little swift
If you're above msq level do more msq to reach the next expansions job quests
median locust
Lv60
After you beat the Heavensward main story
entirerly
not the patches, just the base one
Then it's somewhere in the quests in between Heavensward and Stormblood
median locust
yes
kind eagle
60-70 is storm?
kind eagle
another long patch?
median locust
Half as long
kind eagle
till u reach 71?
median locust
you mean like between Stormblood and Shadowbringers?
it's not as bad as the one between ARR and Heavensward
little swift
You shouldn't be using your jobs level as a metric to gauge where you are in the msq
They're not always the same
Use the msq level shown in your journal
thorny spruce
ive never opened an orchestra scroll. Can I change my battle music?
faint flare
No
thorny spruce
that's sad
median locust
Orchestrion Rolls are just for listening to music in Inn Rooms or setting up background music in your house or appartment
thorny spruce
but i hate houses
leaden ginkgo
The battle music changes depending on what expansion youre in anyway
thorny spruce
im already sitting my ass in the house, i don't want to stay in the house while im playing
median locust
@kind eagle Yes and the story is a lot better
little swift
@kind eagle yes its 140ish quests total between the expansion base and post expansion patch quests
kind eagle
oh
sick glen
what happened if someone in a dungeon tells you what to do if you refuse he threat the party to leave and he actually left
faint flare
The leaver gets duty finder penalty
leaden ginkgo
everytime i hand in my quest it warns me about my thingy being capped, how do i clear this / rank up?
little swift
Then oof
median locust
Do the rank up quest
little swift
@leaden ginkgo do the rank up bluequest
median locust
Then it'll rank up and go back to 0
little swift
Then hand it in
sick glen
he force us to skip cutscene or else he leave
little swift
Ok then hes an asshole
leaden ginkgo
does the ranking up increase the amount of the rewards?
little swift
You're entitled to watching them
sick glen
he left and ruined everything
leaden ginkgo
oh, nice thanks 🙂
little swift
Opens more options in the shop and you get 3 more quests @leaden ginkgo
sick glen
light/phoenix
little swift
3 more quests for that day only
kind eagle
Is the waiting time there fast?
little swift
Kinda like a jumpstart on that rank
leaden ginkgo
i'm not able to open the shop from the whitebone exchange npc yet, maybe if i rank up?
sick glen
as a healer yeah the longest was 15sec
leaden ginkgo
or is that not where to acces the shop?
kind eagle
im in kujata
little swift
Owl people shop is on that small island
sick glen
for dps it goes to 15min max
little swift
Npc has the whitebone exchange vendor tag iirc
sick glen
same never met people in ffxiv like that
little swift
Sams npc makes you ride the sanuvas for the quests
Same*
@sick glen just ignore them then
leaden ginkgo
ah, none of these open the shop
little swift
Also you have the primal role not the light role in this server blue
sick glen
yeah...i had to leave too
little swift
Vanu whitebone exchange is right
zinc orbitBOT
tidal yarrow
who do I have to look for to start Alexander quest?
little swift
I think you may need more ranks
tidal yarrow
I know it's in idyllshire
faint flare
Its called disarmed
median locust
iirc it's some goblin in Idyllshire
faint flare
Think its slowfiz
leaden ginkgo
ah alright
little swift
Slowfix does sound right
tidal yarrow
@faint flare thx
sick glen
@little swift thanks for letting me know
native garden
I am lvl 27 now.
I am a little bummed playing the game so far. Just with the running simulator to grind to lvl 30 from my scholar. RPG stories/cutscenes do not interest me at all and I escape them as soon as possible.
my 1st month payment will be due soon.... not sure.
median locust
You know the game has a free trial up to lv35, right?
you didn't have to buy the game before then
unless you wanted to use social stuff
native garden
I should be level 35 soon.
median locust
oh is that what you meant
native garden
its okay. I am really suprised that ppl play this long, is all i am sayin. just a friendly discussion.
I am sure future raids or whatever they are called will be cool.
some neat things about the game/ui
Are builds unique past 70?
is there much customization?
faint flare
No
median locust
No, all jobs have only one way to play them
native garden
ouch
faint flare
Itd more skill base
median locust
But yeah this is a Final Fantasy game first, MMO second I would say. The story is really important and 99% of the game is locked behind the main story
So it's mandatory.
The jobs are really fun at higher levels and give a lot of room to improve your gameplay
feral ridge
Quick question. Does the duty type I get in leveling roulette affect the bonus xp I get from it? Example: will I get less for getting a trial than a dungeon of the same level?
median locust
so I don't think customization is a problem
Every Samurai will play the same set of skills, etc. So to stand out from the rest, you just have to play the job better than others
native garden
so their is room for characters to be unique?
sleek spoke
are there any free outfits in the store atm?
native garden
oh...
raven sage
@feral ridge Yes
median locust
There's a lot of outfit customization
TONS of it
Every single piece of armor in the game is something you can wear
sleek spoke
dont feel like spending 20 euros for a virtual outfit but also want my char to look pretty lol
median locust
And you can mix and match to make outfits
faint flare
No free outfits on Mogstation
median locust
There ARE outfits in the cash shop but they're not any "better" than the ones you get in game
little swift
Glamour is mostly things obtainable in gamr
faint flare
But you can reuse outfits as much as you wany
little swift
Its about creativity
faint flare
Mogstation has like 1% of outfits
little swift
Lots of stuff looks really good
median locust
So as for room for characters to be unique, yes visually, but functionally, no
little swift
Skill expression is still possible
native garden
I am not a girl or in need of any type of feminine expression... so...
fashion is not gonna get my monthly lol
median locust
lol alright
little swift
I mean gender isn't what makes people enjoy looking nice but ok
open coral
^
native garden
maybe you were right, I should have played free. but thought I was missing out on the social channels so bought it.
open coral
Almost all of the guys in my FCs are obsessed with glamour stuff and making their characters look pretty.
native garden
never played FF games.. maybe this was why.. it's okay. GREAT group of ppl though.
open coral
lol, wanting nice glam isn't unique to FF 😄
You get the same thing in any game where appearance customization is a thing.
median locust
Before I played this, the only FF I'd played was Theathrhythm, lol
native garden
wow/eso more about stats for my type of player
open coral
If you've played WoW then you know that a better xmog = better dps.
little swift
There are story skips and job skips
That bring you to the start of the current expansion
Not really recommended because the story was the intended method of going through the game
But they're often used by people who play alts on different worlds and such
But you can buy a story skip to get to the start of shadowbringers
And a job skip to boost a job of your choicd to lv70
native garden
that is cool
little swift
Not recommended since you'll not know how to lay your job well
native garden
true
little swift
And you have to play through shadowbringers anyways
Which is considered the best expansion yet
native garden
will give it few more levels., the mobs look more interesting now.. but it is not a grind game.
opal bough
What's the difference between level sync and items sync?
open coral
If you skip the previous expansions, however, you won't have the context to get you invested in the ShB story
native garden
it is a story game, and my brain is not wired that way
little swift
Yeah its really a perspective thing
native garden
literally lol
open coral
lol
little swift
You have to wrap your head around it
Things like doing every sidequest in a zone to get leveled
Aren't a thing here
native garden
yeah, I only accept MQM
native garden
ahhh
little swift
Those aren't optional
sick glen
is it worth it to get the whale mount for 30$?
little swift
That's how you unlock your kob
open coral
Class quests are like oldschool WoW class trainers. You need them to unlock skills.
little swift
Uhhhh its account wide iirc@sick glen. But Idk if its worth. That's subjective
native garden
okay, will go find my arcanist trainer
kind eagle
little swift
That's your kenki meter @kind eagle
sick glen
guess im gonna buy it it looks sick
little swift
You get a resource called kenki for hitting the correct positionals
sick glen
and it fits 2
little swift
Which can be used to spend on skills
kind eagle
for this right
faint flare
Yes
kind eagle
and 1 more upcoming skill
faint flare
You generatw kenki by hitting positionals on gecko and kasha
Kasha is a side positional, gecko is rear
kind eagle
hitting enemies on their side?
faint flare
Yes
little swift
@opal bough lvl sync is when you get synced to the maximum possible level for that instance. Your ilvl is adjusted to not overlap that level range here. Ilvl sync syncs your item level on top of that to a specific ilvl which further reduces your stats
faint flare
All melee dps has positionals where skills have bonus effects when you hit from a specific point of the mob
little swift
Makes it so you experience things at a more specific way
opal bough
Thx
faint flare
In a straight forward manner
faint flare
Indirect damage
little swift
Its indirect in the way you spend kenki to do things
sick glen
i like this dragon when i go afk it start chilling on my head lol
he doesnt know i wear his dad skin
faint flare
Its a side dungeon
whole lagoon
sick glen
@kind eagle it unlock dungeon level 35 for you
little swift
@sick glen you can make it do that with /beckon
@sick glen no its a lv50 dungeon
Its literally in the quest info
boreal aurora
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3> can i do wait.2 at byregots blessing?
median locust
different quest, you can see that quest is lv50
faint flare
No
boreal aurora
no?
faint flare
No
boreal aurora
kk
boreal aurora
so wait 2 is only for buffs then
faint flare
Yes
boreal aurora
thought so
faint flare
No
kind eagle
oh i done that
faint flare
Different name
Different dungeons
Yukis quest unlocks Amadpor keep
You got Sunken temole
Different dungeon
little swift
Also lots of lv50 dungeons
median locust
Unlock quest is nex to the Waking Sands building iirc
faint flare
Its in vesper bey
native garden
I need Thousand Maws next
little swift
Yup going for gold
median locust
Thousand Maws is main story
little swift
Nedrick Ironheart
native garden
first I better go see about my main trainer
agile laurel
waking sands
sick glen
@kind eagle
median locust
those two are MSQ as well
you'll get them in the post ARR patches
I can't type today 
median locust
half kraken
So I just started shb, do you guys recommend I do dungeons coop or with trusts?
simple shore
Coop unless the queue is going to be 20+ minutes.
faint flare
I like doing dungeons with trust first time through for MA IMMERSION
median locust
If you don't mind going slower, Trusts give some nice interactions with NPCs
half kraken
Yeah immersion is the main reason for me
faint flare
Then do trusts
simple shore
Also trust does have the advantage of teaching you boss mechanics. Because the NPC's do them all correct.
half kraken
Oh interesting
median locust
I can't stand going slower so I've never touched Trusts so I guess it depends on the person lol
half kraken
Trusts it is then thanks guys
faint flare
Its also the only time you can use ||Exarch and Lyna|| as trusts
little swift
I mean dohn mheg final boss no
faint flare
So
half kraken
I'm tank so at least I lead the pace
simple shore
That's incorrect though
simple shore
||Exarch|| is also there for your first run of Grand Cosmos
faint flare
Yeah and doing it for story is the only time when you can use them
half kraken
I'll go as a trust just to see what it's like
faint flare
After that you cant use them again
finite socket
Does main scenario roulete give more daily exp than the others due to lenght?
half kraken
If I really hate it I can coop later ones
raven sage
That's not true either vinyl
faint flare
Yes mighty
raven sage
You have access to them after you get a group of them to 80 to unlock scenario mode
faint flare
Well once you finished base Shadowbringers
simple shore
The "levelling configuration" for trusts is repeatable until you complete MSQ
sick glen
@kind eagle when it comes to raid trial i just ask level 80 to carry me unsyned
faster
little swift
They're not even long synced
simple shore
There's no reason for a new player to do that
Getting carried all the time will only make you worse at the game
sick glen
just saying if you wanna skip the waiting time but for sure dont skip the cutscene
kind eagle
raid is not synced anymore
median locust
Unsyncing everything isn't any fun lol
little swift
Inside waking sands
steel wedge
Ok so question
steel wedge
Unfortunately I only have a level 75 black mage... if I wanted to do the other role quests how would I do that?
kind eagle
steel wedge
What would be the quickest way to getting the classes that I need?
little swift
@leaden ginkgo Nedrick has a bunch of quests including aurum vale
median locust
When in doubt, do every blue quest
agile laurel
@steel wedge level summoner and a tank
leaden ginkgo
Animus to Novus
Get 75 Alexandrite, 75 Materias, and... some ink bottles?
agile laurel
so I'd say get summoner and gunbreaker
kind eagle
Is this raid too?
pure flicker
you'll need to level the other class roles spyro. the fatest would probably be astro for healing since they start at 30
median locust
Not just any materia either, you have to start with tier 1's in a stat, then tier 2, etc
steel wedge
Don’t you need a sub class for summer?
median locust
@kind eagle Dungeon
faint flare
No
little swift
No they need a physical dps rather than magic rn
kind eagle
ye i mea dngeon
agile laurel
You could either do
pure flicker
oh
little swift
Do dancer
steel wedge
Isn’t there a healer role quest?
agile laurel
yeah
faint flare
Yes
sick glen
which level do i unlock dancer?
pure flicker
gunbreaker starts at 60, along with Dancer. Astro starts at 30
faint flare
60
little swift
60
median locust
Tank
Healer
Physical DPS (Melee and Ranged DPS)
Caster
Levelling summoner also gets you scholar so you get a caster and a healer in one go
steel wedge
Gnb Is gun breaker
little swift
They already have a 75blm
kind eagle
Inside waking sands
@little swift i dont have any blue inside walking sand
median locust
still have to level a healer to 80
little swift
Ast
steel wedge
Dnc ast gnb
@little swift what would those be one of them is gunbraker
little swift
Gnb
steel wedge
And dancer I’m guessing
little swift
Yup
faint flare
Dancer and astro and Gunbreaker
little swift
And astrologian
steel wedge
What’s ast?
faint flare
Astro
steel wedge
Ohhh the card one?
faint flare
Yes
steel wedge
Ok then so I need to get those all up to 70 in order to do the roll stuff yeah?
pure flicker
yes
median locust
80 if you wanna complete the quest line
faint flare
Yes, and eventually 80 to finish
steel wedge
Ok so how long would it take to get up all those classes to 80?
pure flicker
for healers and tanks its usually fairly fast because queue times are nearly instant. from 60-70 and 70-80 you have access to beast tribes which give good exp alongside doing daily roulettes
steel wedge
Ok are you really missing something incredibly crucial if you don’t do all the role quests before finishing SHB?
leaden ginkgo
So if i am getting this correctly
Is the optimal way to get Alexandrite
To just dump a lot of Poetics on the Maps?
finite socket
Is there only the two ARR main scenarioes in the game?
faint flare
Yes
sick glen
how do i get flying mount
faint flare
Only castrum and praetorium
pure flicker
you only need to complete one role quest series to complete the MSQ. the other role quests are optional. but they provide cool context for the Warriors of Darkness
faint flare
All mounts fly
median locust
Flying is unlock early in Heavensward
little swift
Ok are you really missing something incredibly crucial if you don’t do all the role quests before finishing SHB?
@steel wedge lorewise you have a significant cutscene change in 5.2 but you can always research that at the inn
steel wedge
how do i get flying mount
@sick glen you need to get the currents
leaden ginkgo
Does xp gain slow down after 30? My paladin is barely getting any xp with mobs 5-7 lvls above
median locust
You're not supposed to level by killing mobs
sick glen
oh so its a quest
clever cave
mob grinding is low exp
little swift
@leaden ginkgo you soundly be grinding
little swift
!faq flying
zinc orbitBOT
sick glen
MSQ or side quest
steel wedge
Ok and I could always YouTube it as well if I need to ty
faint flare
Both
pure flicker
if you end up leveling other classes to 80 you'll most likely end up doing them anyway to get the level 80 gear
leaden ginkgo
I tried fates with the same results. Very low xp
raven sage
You should be running dungeons for exp if you're on paladin
median locust
Just do the main story, it levels your first job pretty easily
pure flicker
30-50 is a snore im my experience
leaden ginkgo
I tried fates with SAM and nearly died.
zinc orbitBOT
agile laurel
fates as solo dps are probably gonna require solid mechanic dodging, good rotation and a chocobo
median locust
Run levelling roulette/alliance raid roulette once a day for the bonus then run the highest level dungeon you can over and over. Or run Palace of the Dead 51-60 over and over till 60 if you're DPS with bad queues
leaden ginkgo
I have a healer chocobo. Maybe it was the wrong type of fate
median locust
You don't level with Fates, unless you're running them while queueing for a dungeon
leaden ginkgo
:(
sleek spoke
why do fates exist if they serve so little xp anyways?
little swift
Fates aren't awful in shadowbringers
leaden ginkgo
I did up till 30 fairly easily
little swift
They were the best source of lvling in 2.0 other than levequests
One of the best*
faint flare
Arr was wack
pure flicker
fates in shadowbringers get you gemstones and actually build up a counter of completion. they are much more valuable in shadowbringers
sleek spoke
i played during ARR 2013 and remember grinding and doing fates
leaden ginkgo
All my classes are lvl 30 now so I'm trying to find quick ways to get them all lvled
pure flicker
have you done the hunting log?
leaden ginkgo
Yeah
leaden ginkgo
And I do challenge log
boreal aurora
is there a list somewhere with what mobs drop what materials in ishgard diadem?
zinc orbitBOT
zinc orbitBOT
mental garnet
naps are good
pure flicker
dungeon queues are probably just the fastest ast until you get to beast tribes at 40 and then hit 50 for all the other queues
faint flare
@boreal aurora see that map
gritty oracle
how do I convert a CW party to a normal party?
boreal aurora
thx
finite socket
If two tanks are tanking, what decides which one will be "main" tanking?
faint flare
You remake it creeping
finite socket
have aggro etc
faint flare
Whoever had stance on first
sleek spoke
is it safe to do this if im 1 lvl lower ?
leaden ginkgo
Alright
finite socket
Whoever put stance on first, or whoever attacked the enemy while having stance on?
faint flare
Yes
clever cave
Well decide through communication usually..
kind eagle
finite socket
So agrro wont go on the other?
kind eagle
What is this
faint flare
Auto translate
kind eagle
pure flicker
@finite socket in my experience it's ususally who is ever the most aggressive LOL. usually who ever pulls first. you can also ask. but even when i go in first to start the fight the other tank will provoke and i just let them have it /shrug
faint flare
Because your game is in English
But if it was another language, it shows in that language
pure flicker
@sleek spoke you should be fine
faint flare
Auto translate displays in whatever language your game is set in
pure flicker
the sync for duties is usually a level cap
kind eagle
I still see same japanese word tho
faint flare
So you have some form of communication with other languages
Because those arent in the auto translate dictionary
There only specific phases in the dictionary and its sizeably large
But can't cover everything
simple shore
inb4 he's auto-translating a SAM ability.
kind eagle
Oh
simple shore
lul
simple shore
Organized might be a stretch.
little swift
They're supposed to say things like meikyo shisui
simple shore
lol
lilac mulch
what is a good way to earn gil nowadays at odin server?
kind eagle
Will SAM have some kokyu?
median locust
kokyu?
finite socket
cocio
simple shore
Sounds more like NIN to me.
kind eagle
In demon slayer
faint flare
No
kind eagle
They use katana
faint flare
They wont
median locust
Ninja has Raiton which is a thunderbolt
faint flare
Ninja has elemental attacks
median locust
They also use Suiton which is a water based attack
kind eagle
Fireball?
faint flare
No
faint flare
Well ninja
median locust
not sam
simple shore
Samurai does not use "magic" of any kind.
faint flare
Samurai has Moon, Flower and ice based stuff
median locust
Ninja has elemental attacks, Samurai is all sword techniques and stuff
faint flare
For their sens
kind eagle
Oh

How do I dye the level 70 job gear?
faint flare
Uhhh
native garden
Game is not about loot drops either right?
little swift
demon slayer came out later than ffxiv
median locust
You'll have to be more specific on "loot drops"
yes loot drops from raids, monsters and stuff
native garden
wearables with good stats
median locust
It's a gear threadmill MMO like wow
faint flare
Pretty much gear in general
native garden
I will google gear threadmill
median locust
The best gear becomes obsolete after a few months due to new, better gear coming out
Which then happens again
and again
and again
faint flare
Until the heat death of the universe
native garden
😄
median locust
You never truely have the best gear that will ever exist in FFXIV because better gear is constantly coming out
You will never reach the end, hence threadmill
median locust
You can reach the end for said patch but after a few months your gear is obsolete again
faint flare
leaden ginkgo
there isnt a way to change ur character name is there?
faint flare
Should be a name change service on Mogstation for money
median locust
10 USD I think
unreal aspen
since patch 5.3 will most likely bring new doh/dol gear
will it be in a new set of master recipes? or is it more likely that it gets added on to the current master recipe tier
nova umbra
can paladin take both of the F14 duty action things?
faint flare
Yes but you'll need cooldowns for thr one you're not immuning
nova umbra
around how many should be saved?
raven sage
@unreal aspen If it's like stormblood then they should be added into the mastercraft 8 books
upper mortar
If i buy the butler gear set from mogstation I can glamour it onto my retainers gear right? There isnt some restriction on cash shop clothes right? Havent bought any before
raven sage
Yes
unreal aspen
:DDD ok joyful news i hope thats the case
median locust
You can
unreal aspen
and yea u can glam anything onto retainers
besides genderlocked gear and stuff if they're not the right gender to wear it
upper mortar
Cool. Does the same go for squadrons? Just unlocked squads
boreal aurora
all nodes have always random materials in diadem?
raven sage
Yeah same for squadrons
median locust
It's not random
median locust
Specific nodes always have the same item in them
faint flare
Do a Recurring problem in waking sands
boreal aurora
is there a list somewhere
median locust
But you have to gather the nodes in order clockwise so they're kinda random anyway
faint flare
Thats the quest line
zinc orbitBOT
median locust
nope rip
sorry for the big links
Tbh the most efficient way to go about it is to follow the paths clockwise/counter clockwise to mine/gather as many things as you can
Then use the rocket launcher you charged up on the mob that has the materials you need
boreal aurora
great ty
mossy tartan
Is it possible to solo extreme ||shiva|| as a white mage? i483
mossy tartan
Great, thank you
Any major mechanics I should research for? Or should I go in blind?
faint flare
Youll Kill it before mechanics
mossy tartan
Alright, thank you
zinc orbitBOT
nova umbra
weird, I'm looking at this page https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Ronkan_Accessories and I don't see them from aymark
clever cave
ronkan get at nut dealer
median locust
It's out of date, now you buy those with Sacks of Nuts from Shadowbringers hunts
little swift
deepshadow accessories might be easier if you don't join hunt trains
median locust
yeah it's about whatever you can get your hands on the easiest here
as long as it's 430+ it doesn't matter
little swift
you just need your retainer to break the i428 breakpoint
hallow bloom
were characters from before ARR deleted at some point? i played a small amount before ARR but did not get terribly far and didn't pick up the game again until a short time around heavensward came out (and then dropped it until just a few weeks ago) but my 1.0 char is nowhere to be found
nova umbra
did you choose a different data center?
median locust
you need to look in the right data center, yeah
nova umbra
mogstation should list all your characters
hallow bloom
not sure online only shows the character i made around HS and the one i made recently (as the HS character was on chaos and my friend that got me back in was on light)
(online = the mogstation)_
its not terribly important i'm just a bit curious as to where it went
nova umbra
is it worth doing the expert and 80 dungeon roulette if I'm capped on allegory tomestones?
tidal yarrow
how can I get this cute fox.
obsidian patio
Level 80 roulette is nice for the Phanta
little swift

@hallow bloom I’m not sure on how 1.0 did datacenters but it’s possible that your 1.0 character was on a world that got merged into a JP world
tidal yarrow
thank you
median locust
Rare Fate that only spawns under certain conditions every few days
hallow bloom
i can't remember either
i think i just played on the server it gave me when i made the character
level 6 archer hah
median locust
Said fate also gives you a fox ears headband and fox plushes for your house/room
tidal yarrow
that's too cute
hallow bloom
i found another character on the other jp server
boreal aurora
do ppl actually use buff food for raids?
median locust
Yes
boreal aurora
like is there demand
median locust
Very much so
Gives a bit of stats and a decent boost to max HP
And it doesn't cost much so it's pretty much expected that you have some
obsidian patio
Food gives as much stats as another accessory, basically.
boreal aurora
make gil i meant
boreal aurora
i mean there will be new raid part in 5.3
boreal aurora
For other content, the update will include the second part of the YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse Alliance Raid, which is titled “The Puppets’ Bunker”.
???
boreal aurora
ah damn
median locust
it's "casual" content as in you just queue for it and that's it
boreal aurora
so u only yneed food for savage
faint flare
Yes
median locust
and Extreme but it's not as important
median locust
running ultimate with 5k less HP 
molten spruce
are my ogcds supposed to still be in rotation after i used em once? like my ogcds only last one weave anf theyre gone for a while
except jump
molten spruce
if not i just wait the 2.5 secs?
median locust
In some cases you'll wanna save them but when in doubt, use on cooldown
only save if you know what you're doing
molten spruce
wdym by clipping
median locust
!faq weaving
zinc orbitBOT
molten spruce
ahhh
faint flare
All skills have some animation lock
molten spruce
ive figured u can use a gcd a little b4 cooldown goes away
and anim cancel some skills with ogcd
obsidian patio
Jumps in particular have a longer lock, so you can’t double-weave with them
faint flare
Every skill has 0.7s of animation lock, movement skills like jump have longer
Which cant cancelled or anything
molten spruce
got it
so when i dont have ogcds available just wait the full gcd timer and do another gcd?
faint flare
Yes, not every gcd needs to have a ogcd
nova umbra
how does rolling for greed/need work exactly? I rolled a 97 but the other guy got it somehow?
median locust
Need takes priority over Greed
nova umbra
so if someone with a need rolls a 1, they always get it?
median locust
You can only Need if it's an all class item (minion etc) or if it's gear for your class
Yes
Need 1 will win over Greed 99
If anyone needs, Greed rolls are ignored
nova umbra
makes sense
elfin wagon
wht is the drop rate of the nightmare mount ?
nova umbra
low xD
median locust
Lower than the regular ponies
elfin wagon
heck 😔
obsidian patio
Probably like low single digits
nova umbra
just spam garuda 😄
obsidian patio
It’s never been buffed in drop rate
elfin wagon
yeah im spammin ifrit i have the Fancee pony but . oh 2 have nightmare
median locust
Garuda would be faster
nova umbra
wait, if I have a level 80 gladiator, and want to upgrade them to paladin
would that reset them to level 1?
for retainer
i mean
this is scaring me o_o
median locust
If you give it a job, no, it keeps the level
If you switch from a job to something else, then yes, it resets to 1
nova umbra
oh okay whew
median locust
But class -> Job is ok
elfin wagon
eh ive found ifrit 2 b less annoyin 2 do
nova umbra
really? so annoying for me when I duo'd ifrit with a friend
he kept going invuln and you have to kill all the nails
garuda just went invuln once for a few seconds
elfin wagon
ive gotten it down to abt 2 nd a half mins. he only goes invuln the last wave of nails 4 me
use tbn durin hellfire
elfin wagon
lvl 74
median locust
even at 70, unsync was faster doing garuda
If you find Ifrit less annoying then do whatever lol
tidal yarrow
how do I disable ambient sound effect?
don't wanna hear people laughing when there's nobody lol
boreal aurora
how can i search in MB only for mob drops
median locust
Since mob drops don't all fall under the same category you can't really
hot dock
is there a way to move on the UI boss gauges like gunshield gauge in memoria?

I am now in the Relic Light phase
Is it just
Spam the f+ck out of Garuda EX? According to this guide i found
median locust
ARR relic? Nah there's more efficient ways
The two I know of are Tam-Tara Deepcroft unsynced over and over
or Ifrit normal unsync
little swift
ifrit normal good
sleek spoke
is there a glossary / bestiary ?
leaden ginkgo
is there any tips to it?

Not really ayan

Does the content itself, affect how much you get?

hm too bad ;-;

ah
split flower
I am unable to find a map/coordinates or the actual timeworn Thyrus for the relic quest in the U'Ghamaro Mines D:
obsidian patio
@split flower should be around x26, y8.2
split flower
Should that be outside the red circle it's marked on the map?
raven sage
It should be juuuust on the edge iirc
sleek spoke
if one of my items is spiritbond do i have to do/extract something
split flower
Ahh yeah, thanks Tessia
obsidian patio
If it’s at 100% you can extract materia from it, yes.
But you can never “unspiritbond” an item
sleek spoke
what is materia and how do i extract it
obsidian patio
Materia are basically stat gems for this game. And extracting is done by right-clicking the item once you have unlocked it from a sidequest in central thanalan at level 15
sleek spoke
ok !
obsidian patio
If you want, sure.
boreal aurora
wtf i just got killed by corrupted sprite in diadem
i dont even know how i got aggro
leaden ginkgo
What does it mean when people refer to raids with names like a12s?
I believe A is the name of the boss and S is for savage? Not sure
twilit arch
a = alexander, 12= the 12th fight of the raid series, s= savage
alexander being the overall name for the raid series
in game A12s is "The Soul of the Creator (Savage)"
leaden ginkgo
Ahhh, so like twelve fight within the raid or are there 12 separate raids with Alex? Sorry for the noob question
twilit arch
each raid (barring bahamut) has 12 fights total
faint flare
12 fights within the raid
twilit arch
4 fights per raid tier
leaden ginkgo
That makes sense now! Thank you
faint flare
And it takes place insidr Alexander
jade quartz
Each fight is a separate instance
faint flare
So we dub it Alexander X thing
jade quartz
Not like WoW where it’s a large scale dungeon type thing
twilit arch
so the first tier of alexander, for example is "X of the Father" (also known as gordias), 2nd tier is "X of the Son" (known as Midas) and 3rd tier is "X of the Creator"
deep herald
how do you get glamour
jade quartz

flint grove
What level do you get a mount?
I thought it was 20 but I am 29 and have not seen anything relating to it
faint flare
You can get it after joining a grand company in the story
The quest "my little chocobo" at your grand company
flint grove
ok, thanks!
faint flare
Which is lv20 in the story
flint grove
Im about to be there I think, the EXP boost just has me outleveling content before I even get to it
bold wraith
is 10m normal for a queue as a DPS?
bold wraith
okay, sorry im new 😄
agile laurel
yeah, basically if you're a tank expect 1-7ish, if you're a healer expect instant-3, if you're a dps expect 5-15
rough guess
little swift
10 is actually pretty fast
open coral
20 is about average for dps +/- depending on time of day.
And what you're queuing for
sleek spoke
i unlocked innrooms what can i do with that?
little swift
you can manage your glamour, change hairstyles/some facial makeup stuff, play some weird minigames
also when you log out and log back in from an inn, you get a little cutscene of your character waking up
sleek spoke
cute ❤️
little swift
your retainer summoning bell is there too
gloomy ice
The cutscene viewer is there as well, in case there's anything you want to rewatch.
little swift
and you can rewatch old cutscenes
sleek spoke
cool, ty ^^
dense pier
Are there Lore Books for ARR to unlock more nodes?
dense pier
So then
the items that are required to craft some multi-star 50 stuff
Are those dungeon drops/gc buys?
twilit arch
some of it, yes
sleek spoke
do i have to learn weaving before i can repair my items
gloomy ice
There are mender NPCs in each of the adventurer's guilds and markets of each city. A few stationed around in several locations out in the other maps as well.
The little hammers on your map indicate a mender.
leaden ginkgo
what sells good on the auction and is fairy easy to get, but people just dont bother getting it themselves?
sleek spoke
ok
obsidian patio
The crafter an item needs to be repaired is listed on the item’s tooltip.
But yeah, you can use NPC repairs/menders
@leaden ginkgo probably the glamour gear from the vendor near the uldah Aetheryte if I had to name any
Also the racial starting gear and level 1 weathered accessories
sleek spoke
how does the latter sell well O.o
obsidian patio
You’d be very surprised.
gloomy ice
Many throw those away before realizing they can keep them for new classes/jobs and don't know where to rebuy them.
obsidian patio
I sold a weathered necklace for like 20k a week or two ago
sleek spoke
glad ive kept all my old stuff lol
obsidian patio
You buy them for like 100 Gil
leaden ginkgo
oh dang, thanks!
sleek spoke
what about the gear? are people interested in noob gear lol
obsidian patio
But as always, you want to check the prices of items and how often they sell before you buy stock
gloomy ice
The sets mentioned, in particular, are bridesmaid and groomsmen sets.
obsidian patio
Low level gear generally don’t sell for too high in most cases if they come from a vendor
gloomy ice
Those are usually decent sellers. But again not everyone knows they can be bought from vendors.
sleek spoke
no i mean, the gear that i started with
obsidian patio
The racial stuff is bought for glamour, yes.
obsidian patio
Ballroom Etiquette - The Winsome Wallflower
IIRC
Just typing Ballroom should show it
obsidian patio
You don’t craft it, you buy it for scrips from the ishgard restoration
So it has an inherent cost of getting the materials to craft items to exchange for the scrips
Try checking other worlds on your datacenter for a cheaper one
Might get lucky
fair mountain
Starting out, how useful/necessary is crafting, is it worth it to invest time into?
leaden ginkgo
@obsidian patio do you mean this gear?
sleek spoke
it says Market Prohibited though on my racial stuff
obsidian patio
Yep
leaden ginkgo
oh okey, do i buy all of it, or is just the top most bought piece?
obsidian patio
@sleek spoke that’s because you most likely used it in combat, which prevents you from trading it to other players
Look at the marketboard for those items and see which sell often
gloomy ice
@fair mountain Crafting isn't wholly necessary. You can get by just as well as any other with or without it. Completely optional.
sleek spoke
ofc i used it in combat, it was all i had until i lvled up a bit xd
obsidian patio
You can buy new sets of racial gear from specific vendors in the starting cities. The closest one to an Aetheryte is Bango Zango in Limsa Lominsa
tidal yarrow
how do I walk on keyboard?
sleek spoke
okay
zinc orbitBOT
sleek spoke
another question whats the point of aetherytes other than setting them as your home location?
i can use aethernets for free teleporting
aetherytes... for nothing?
leaden ginkgo
to teleport to other places outside your city
sleek spoke
huh
leaden ginkgo
so for example if you're in Ul'dah and you want to go to Limsa Lominsa, it would probably take a min or two, but aetherytes allow you to teleport to them
sleek spoke
but i wont let me do that
gloomy ice
@tidal yarrow Numpad / by default
leaden ginkgo
yeah, you can click the aetheryte on the map itself
vagrant copper
It is a bit of a shame you can't teleport like that
sleek spoke
so thats just the teleporting that costs gil
i thought by clickin aetherytes i could teleport to other cities for free
leaden ginkgo
yes, you can also use airships which will be cheaper
warped nest
Nope
leaden ginkgo
nope, but you can set a favourite destination which will also cost gil, but for cheaper
raven sage
It's only free within cities unfortunately
leaden ginkgo
and setting it to your home does make it free
leaden ginkgo
np
tidal yarrow
thank you eton
sleek spoke
i find the msq storyline a little dull, will that improve overtime?
fickle fulcrum
can someone help me? I have a level 50 blue mage and Ive learned 20 spells, including Blood Drain, but I cant find Martyn to do any of the quests. Everyone says hes in Ul'dah but I went there and nothing is there
sleek spoke
how do i prevent myself from accidentally targeting myself in combat
open coral
Use the aethernet to go to the Miner's Guild aethernet point @fickle fulcrum Martyn should be in the courtyard right by that shard.
@sleek spoke Tab target?
vagrant copper
There's some option somewhere that makes it so you can't click on yourself
sleek spoke
where?
and will that also prevent me from being able to use a healing spell on myself
fickle fulcrum
@open coral thats where Ive looked
open coral
And there's no 
there for you?
vagrant copper
To heal yourself, you can just get rid of your current target, target an enemy, or click on the party list instead.
fickle fulcrum
nope
unreal aspen
what differentiates casual/midcore/hardcore statics
open coral
As I recall, Martyn isn't the quest giver for a few quests.
fickle fulcrum
I havent done any quests accept the initial job quest
unreal aspen
is it just how much time people are willing to put in to prog?
deft quiver
phantasmagoria tomes are for 460 items right?
fickle fulcrum
ok nvm I got it, I had to do a quest in Lower Lominsa
unreal aspen
yea phantasmagorias are for 460s
vagrant copper
I'd also expect a "hardcore" static to care more about performance. Meaning if you underperform, you have a higher chance of getting kicked out. A casual static shouldn't care as much if you mess up.
unreal aspen
aaa and midcore would be like pointing out mistakes and where to improve but being more willing to help get players to a good level of skill instead of kicking them and finding someone new?
faint flare
Casual statics tend to go for less times in the week while hardcore groups go for longer
With midcore in the middle of the roaf
unreal aspen
a ok, do you know like what the average time they would spend would be?
faint flare
It varies since these are terms we more or less just place ourselves
Midcore probably average maybe like 10hours
Give or take some
unreal aspen
ok ty!
jagged crow
Where do I get level 50 crafters jewlery?
vagrant copper
Foundation might have some...? Don't remember.
leaden ginkgo
I believe the ones in starting cities have them as well
vagrant copper
Those will only go up to like level 29 or so
