[jagged crow]

I am just dumb

[hallow grove]

if i only own ARR on pc, should i buy the "complete edition" from the square enix site?

this one specifically

https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/564956/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download

[obsidian patio]

No, you only need Shadowbringers as it includes the previous expansions

[nova umbra]

How do I report someone for phishing? Only option I see is report for RMT

[obsidian patio]

System > support desk

And choose harassment

[stuck pike]

Is it ever possible to change your race? Or would you need to start over?

[nova umbra]

ah okay, thanks

[obsidian patio]

You get one of these from the story for free. You can buy more from the mogstation for $10

[stuck pike]

Awesome thank you

[stone crane]

Can anyone help me on deciding which tank to level? I am curious to each of the different jobs playstyles.

[nova umbra]

this is a phishing link right?

there's a -k.pw at the end of the url

don't want to falsely report so making sure lol

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[lilac cave]

what are the data centers? am i in a automatic datacenter?

im in crystal?

how can i change it

[slate arrow]

main menu > datacenter

[obsidian patio]

@stone crane this is a TL;DR: I wrote a while ago about the tanks, still accurate as there haven’t been changes since I wrote it. https://discordapp.com/channels/100463940835762176/287679207432257538/696271839973998634

[lilac cave]

i didnt make charactet yet

[stone crane]

ty

[lilac cave]

how can i go to the most popular

datacenter

[obsidian patio]

There’s no real “popular” datacenter. All are pretty balanced.

[robust crow]

regarding red mage

[lilac cave]

what if im in a different datacenter than my friend?

[obsidian patio]

And either way you want to stick to your region for good ping.

Then play on their datacenter.

[robust crow]

what's the point of engagement

it has less potency than displacement

should I pretty much always be doing displacement?

[obsidian patio]

!action engagement

[zinc orbit]

**Engagement** : lvl 72 RDM (35.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 150.
Shares a recast timer with Displacement.

Powered by XIVAPI

[obsidian patio]

It’s for if using displacement could kill you, mainly.

[lilac cave]

im in crystal and my friend is in ather how can we play

[robust crow]

i see

but generally you avoid using it if there's plenty of space

i assume

[obsidian patio]

You can’t, one of you would need to pay for a home world transfer for your character, or make a new one on the other’s datacenter.

[lilac cave]

that is absolute trash

so youre restricted to play with differnet people on your country?

???????????????????????

[obsidian patio]

That’s just how the server limitations are, currently.

There are plans to break down the walls between a region’s datacenter but it’s only an idea with no concrete date on when it’s coming.

[lilac cave]

but i cant change my datacenter

there is no option in the settings

[obsidian patio]

Yes you can.

[lilac cave]

like i havent created a character yet

[obsidian patio]

Back out to the menu with the title screen and click datacenter.

[lilac cave]

all the wayt to the menu omg

i just created my character and eveyrhitng'

it will cancel

[obsidian patio]

You can save your character’s appearance

Once you finish making your character it will ask if you want to do so. If not you can right-click your name and save it from there

[lilac cave]

so there is no "most played datacenter"?

[obsidian patio]

No.

[lilac cave]

but isnt there like certain characteristics of each data center

i heard Crystal is for role playing?

and then like some other one was for raiding

someting like dat

[obsidian patio]

Aether/Primal both have a healthy raiding scene.

They’re pretty equal to each other

Crystal has a smaller one that’s more friend-focused.

[leaden ginkgo]

so
How long is Eureka, content wise, nowadays? .x .

A good few weeks?

[obsidian patio]

I’d say so.

[lilac cave]

does it cost money to transfer data centers

[obsidian patio]

Yes, but again, you can just make your character again on their server if you literally only started.

[shrewd owl]

^

[obsidian patio]

So there’s no need to pay for it

[lilac cave]

i dont want to restart after literally putting hours and hours into one character

[shrewd owl]

you can save character appearances yknow

[obsidian patio]

Listen. Just finish making your character and then save their appearance.

[shrewd owl]

if you already have the character made just right click the name and the option should be there

[obsidian patio]

Then when you go to make a new one you’ll be asked if you want to load a saved appearance

[signal garnet]

sorry If I asked this and forgot, but which of the pvp queues have the fastest times?

just need 250 more marks for something

[rough lance]

does dnc generally hav way lower dps then rdm sam smn? like almost half of their dps?

[obsidian patio]

It’s not exactly fair to compare the personal damage of dancer to samurai and summoner, two of the jobs with the highest personal damage.

A good amount of Dancer’s damage comes from the buffs they give to their dance partner.

[rough lance]

oh i mean if compared after buffs

[hallow bloom]

doing a story mission towards the end of ARR

[obsidian patio]

When looking at rDPS, Dancer should only be behind by about 10-14% of samurai and summoner

[rough lance]

went in e5s and gt parsed i dunno whether it's allowed here.. but yea found out dnc dps was like almost half of other dps after buffs and stuffs

[hallow bloom]

fighting a big thingy and its invulnerable to everything

the quest says to defeat the enemy and escape

[obsidian patio]

@hallow bloom if that’s the quest instance in the Castrum at Mor Dhona, you need to search around for generators to destroy.

[hallow bloom]

oh well thats super obvious

[rough lance]

oh my bad sry

[hallow bloom]

defeat the enemy not find the guy masturbating in the corner with his generator...

[rough lance]

dpses are all in 12-13 while dnc in 11 by looking at rdps

was told that dnc not doing enough dmg

[obsidian patio]

Everyone in that group is not doing enough damage, to put it bluntly.

If all the DPS are gray

[rough lance]

yea all in gray

we fresh group went in with only neo-ish armors and berely clear e5s haha

so everyone in grey

[dapper shadow]

E5s i went in with 480 and did 15k with smn

[rough lance]

we were told that smn in 14k is the only one doing decent dmg while sam rdm and dnc not doing enough dmg

but then we all are in grey so i don really understand

[faint flare]

10k is basically last tiers dps numbers

Usually means glaring rotation issues and general gameplay

And a super long kill time

[rough lance]

hmm we hav to practice more i guess

[dapper shadow]

My friend as a dnc did a 57 12.7k dps as a dancer may 5

So try to aim for more?

[wintry compass]

a quest says something bout lvl im lvl 15 and the quest says lvl 18 i can still go in. what does the quest telling me lvl 18 do ?

or is that a recommended lvl

[faint flare]

Its what level you'll be synced to

If you're overlevelled

[wintry compass]

im not overlevelled. but i cant seem to get through it. any tips ?

[rough lance]

well we jus practice more

see if our dps will increase

[wintry compass]

any gear lvling system i mightve missed ?

[crimson willow]

i have a qwuestion

[wintry compass]

or skill training system ?

[faint flare]

No

[crimson willow]

i have a main archer, however a buddy of mine is starting the game, so i wnated to do a healer to help him level up. where do i go to becoem a healer at level 1 again?

[dapper shadow]

Yeah but just rmb that as a dnc the numbers in ur act will always be the lowest compared to other dps. Your main metric will be rdps up on fflogs.

[faint flare]

Just make sure you got the best gesr you can, avoid aoes and do what npcs say

[twilit arch]

conjurer starts in gridania @crimson willow

[rough lance]

ok thanks

[crimson willow]

ok im in gridania

where now 😮

[faint flare]

Take the aetheryte shard to conjuerer guild

In old gridina

[leaden ginkgo]

Guys what's the difference between orange text and white text?

[signal garnet]

If I keep doing the frontline daily will I get still get wolf marks? I know itll be less than the first time but it seems like the only pvp queue that isnt 30+ minutes

[faint flare]

Yes cause you're still doing pvp

[obsidian patio]

@leaden ginkgo orange is /shout, which is seen by anyone in the zone. White text is /say which is only seen by others close to you

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh ok, so what's the difference between shout and yell?

[twilit arch]

yes, pvp match itself will give you wolf marks just won't get the roulettes reward is all @signal garnet

[obsidian patio]

Yell is basically a bigger say

[faint flare]

Shout is entire zone, yell is larger range than say

[leaden ginkgo]

By zone you mean the whole city??

[faint flare]

Yes

All the part of the city you're in

[leaden ginkgo]

Wow that's kind of annoying

People always speaking in shout

[tulip plover]

What are the main stat for monk strength and crit and dir hit?for sub

[faint flare]

Main stat strength. Speed, crit, dh and det for sub

[obsidian patio]

Skill speed, to clarify

[crimson willow]

anytime i press M now it opens this instead of map... how do i fix that

[marble drift]

you've changed that in your keybinds

[obsidian patio]

Or your shift key is stuck

Since the default keybind for the signs menu is Shift+M

[fair mountain]

When I'm leveling up my first class/job through the MSQ/dungeons, should I level a tank/healer first to more easily get parties? Currently using a rogue because I think that's what I'll enjoy later

[faint flare]

Pick whatever...ques are slower for dps but you're getting story xp for dps

[dapper shadow]

Ripped from mnk resources up in the balance if you are looking at a lv80 mnk @tulip plover

[faint flare]

Que gives you time to do other stuff

[elfin edge]

There are quests that let you start the quest at a lower level, but to complete the quest (the green marker) you need to be at the level the quest says

[lilac mulch]

is it possible to meld with weaver lvl 64 ilevel materia at that level with gear 70+?

[elfin edge]

I think the gear will say what level of crafter you need

[stray dawn]

where do I buy ironwork accessory?

[crimson willow]

i have somebody on primal and we are looking to meet up

if we are on different worlds

can i still find him?

we are both on primal

just different world

[dapper shadow]

Yes you can go through the main city’s aetheritr

[crimson willow]

what does that mean

sorry im also new

[twilit arch]

you can use world visit to travel to their server

[obsidian patio]

@stray dawn Mor Dhona from Auriana

[twilit arch]

which you do by interacting with any of the 3 starting city aetherytes

[crimson willow]

how do i world visit?

[dapper shadow]

The big crystal in uldah/limsa/gridania should have an option for world visit

[twilit arch]

the big crystals

[dapper shadow]

Try looking through the menu when you interact with those crystals (aetherite)

[hallow bloom]

oh

so i'm level 46 and the next story quest requires me to be level 49

how do i do a level grind

[marble drift]

yeah thats a sticking point

dungeons

[crimson willow]

can i change my home world?

[hallow bloom]

i did one earlier using the leveling dungeon random thingy

[marble drift]

not without paying @crimson willow

[hallow bloom]

and it gave about 300K xp is that a daily bonus?

[twilit arch]

changing home worlds would require you to pay for a world transfer

[crimson willow]

why am i in ultos i thought i picked bahemoth wtfl ol

[dapper shadow]

@hallow bloom you can do daily dungeon roulette everyday for a good amount of EXP. you can spam the highest level dungeon if you are not a DPS

[hallow bloom]

uh

i am a dds

dps

when do dailies reset?

i'm on light (EU)

[faint flare]

!daily

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Daily Reset:

0 Days, 12 Hours, 37 Minutes, 46 Seconds

[hallow bloom]

i did the roulette dungeon yesterday its currently 2:22am server time

reset is the same no matter what?

[faint flare]

Yes

Its global

[hallow bloom]

arse

oh well

[elfin edge]

if there's enough people awake on your server might try potd matched party?

[hallow bloom]

doubt it

nah the parties in the party finder appear to be bots selling boosters

boosts*

[dapper shadow]

Have you unlocked... the aurum vale side dungeon?

[marble drift]

potd has a duty finder system attached

[hallow bloom]

at least it reads similar to the boosters in wow

[marble drift]

so it'll give you random 3 other players. no pre-forming required

[elfin edge]

aurum vale is 47 I think?

[hallow bloom]

i unlocked dzemael darkhold and i don't think i did it

yet

[marble drift]

generally doing dungeons once for new player bonus (even if that new player is you) is worth it

[molten spruce]

what lvl does red mage start?

[elfin edge]

50

[junior tundra]

whats the name of the song that plays in shadowbringers when ||crystal exarch is absorbing the light from the player after mt gulg and it has lyrics||

[molten spruce]

damn i really wanna read that

but i just started shadowbringers

lemme just close this app to prevent the devil from tellin me to read that

[faint flare]

Yeah Def dont read that

Big spodler

[twilit arch]

tomorrow and tomorrow @junior tundra

[wintry compass]

i just got to go to the other worlds

lominsa and now im heading to another one i think

[faint flare]

Remember to attune to the aetherytes

So you can teleport whenever

[wintry compass]

i forgot the lominsa one but i got the other one

[lime geode]

Why am I gathering 99 chunks of obsidian... It's kind of addictive.

[molten spruce]

should i use fang and claw after wheeling thrust?

[faint flare]

Always yes

[molten spruce]

also, whern im fighting solo, do positionals count on mobs?

bc they will always face me

[faint flare]

No, unless you stun them

[light warren]

yeah that mining quest brought me back to the good old days of playing mmos

[obsidian patio]

Or if they cast something

[faint flare]

Or they stop to cast stuff

[molten spruce]

ok good to know

[faint flare]

Or use true north

[undone briar]

Does anyone have a recruitment code I could use?

[solar shore]

Can anybody help me do the Jade Stoa Dungeon I can't seem to get anybody to join

I need it for a quest

[verbal nacelle]

How can I change servers?

[marble drift]

@undone briar there is a reddit devoted to those codes

@solar shore try the recruitment channels for your data center

[undone briar]

what's the reddit called?

[solar shore]

OH MY BAD THANK YOU

[marble drift]

@verbal nacelle to temporarily world transfer visit a major city, to permanently transfer costs $

[lime geode]

at least the mining sites respawn quickly

trying to find 99 obsidian from all new sites would take hours

[elfin edge]

is the 99 obsidian a quest?

[lime geode]

second miner quest

[elfin edge]

ah okay

[light warren]

yeah mining job quest

[lime geode]

third, sorry

[faint flare]

R/FFXIVRAF @undone briar

[elfin edge]

later on there are mining sites that spawn only once an eorzean day <_<;

[lime geode]

noooo

[elfin edge]

but thankfully the quest for that doesn't require that many to be mined

[light warren]

the high quality quests youll get in a bit can be a pain

be sure to stack perception

[lime geode]

yeah I just started, so hacking away at rocks not paying much attention to the skills

[vivid cosmos]

What's the best time to have someone make a character on the adamantoise server? :)

[faint flare]

When people sleep

And are offline

[vivid cosmos]

Thought so. Thank you

[teal isle]

I was able to sneak thru on it around 5:30 am EST yesterday 😅

[delicate stone]

Is there any point to queueing for 2 dungeons at the same time?

[elfin edge]

I want to say it'll let you join the first one that pops but I'm not too sure about that hypothesis

[faint flare]

If you wanna do multiple but cant decide

Whatever fills first pops

[delicate stone]

Ah, gotcha thanks! I wasn't sure if it just chose one for you or put you in line for both; seems like it's the latter then!

[elfin edge]

like if I queue for A and B, and A would've taken 5 minutes and B would've taken 9 minutes, would then I immediately jump into A at 5 minutes then?

I know sometimes the currently displayed member list jumps around too

[faint flare]

You que for both and whichever fills up first you get put into

[elfin edge]

ah phew

[crimson willow]

i have anoither qwuestion i startd my little chocobo, im looking and trying to get the item so i can get my first mount but where is it? im looking at the grand company and i dont see it

[frank wigeon]

if i transfer my character from one world to another, can i transfer them back within a few minutes later? or is there a 3 month wait

[crimson willow]

figured it out!

[dapper shadow]

do note that the next MSQ will award you 200 seals. exactly the amount you need to purchase that license

[tulip carbon]

Are i130 augmented ironworks equips still worth getting? My item lvl on my SAM is 117. I just want to make sure that resources spent are well spent, etc.

[dapper shadow]

yes

what level is your SAM?

[tulip carbon]

My SAM is lvl 54 atm. Running Sohm like 2 more times and it should be around 56 hopefully?

[dapper shadow]

are you leveling any alt jobs?

[tulip carbon]

I have the default stuff equipped plus like lvl 125 rings, etc

Not at the moment.

[dapper shadow]

poetics dont really have a lot of value save gearing and glamour. So if you aren't planning do the anima or zeta weapons anytime soon, you can use the poetics to buy alt job ironworks gear, or just upgrade your current one

[tulip carbon]

Ooh, okay. Perfect, thank you! What would be the next goal after ironworks?

[dapper shadow]

once you finish 3.0, Shire gear will be your next ironworks gear at lv60

they are bought at the "Mor Dhona" of 3.0, Idyllshire

[fair mountain]

What should be done with low level green/pink gear? I'd assume it's not really worth using and soulbinding

[tulip carbon]

ooh okay, thank you @dapper shadow !

[dapper shadow]

@fair mountain You can turn them into seals at your grand company if you are high enough rank

or you can raise your desynth levels if you can desynth them. Or if you simply dont care (like me) I just throw them away.

[lime geode]

I just got squadrons in my GC - do you use your seals now for squadron runs or for something else?

[dapper shadow]

To rank up again in GC, you will have to do squadrons eventually. Go for it if you want to try it out. Seals aren't particularly hard to come by, now that you have expert delivery

you can do several things with GC seals:

1. Get a small income of gil by seeing what material sells on the MB that can be bought with GC seals
2. Buy Anima/Zeta materials
3. Buy emotes/glamours/barding
4. Buy cordial variants for gathering
5. Buy glamour prisms

so if you aren't doing those things, feel free to spend it however you like

Recently my FC wants to make submarine components and asked for several stacks of coke, so I spent 80k Seals on it. GC seals aren't that hard to come by, so don't feel bad even if you spend it on unoptimal things.

@dapper shadow Thanks - and it looks like the number of seals you can hold goes up and up. I think I'm at 50k max right now (too bad we can't say the same for poetics).

[deft quiver]

is it hard to get 4200 skybuilder scrips as a gatherer?

ty 👍

[lime geode]

any tricks to increasing GP? Food and time?

[dapper shadow]

accessories. Those increase the hard cap. If you want to regenerate it, Cordials are the way to go. You can buy watered down Cordials with GC IIRC

[grim adder]

When should I be using excog?

[lime geode]

Can I reset it if I leave an area and come back?

ok, thanks

[dapper shadow]

@grim adder It heals harder than Lustrate, so on CD when it is valuable (I.e. when the tank is taking damage). Sometimes during expert dungeon runs tanks, especially DRK, are too good with their CDs and their TBNs. Excog would be nigh obsolete since their health will never drop below 50%.

[grim adder]

ooo okay

tyty!

[dapper shadow]

note that if you are doing dungeons, recitation is mostly best spent on excog (for big pulls) and indom (for boss raid wides)

[grim adder]

Excog still gets used at the end of its CD right?

I mean the healing gets popped *

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[trail prairie]

i have a really off brand question, but what 3rd Person Camera Angle would more closely match the one used in PSO2 and other action games?

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i copy the url to my ff loba

logs* lol

like it doesn’t work

[dapper shadow]

are you trying to link your lodestone profile?

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

[gentle marten]

can you exchange this years valentione's gear if you switched genders after a fantasia?

[frank wigeon]

yes

calamity exchange

head to limsa lominsa and go up a level and go to the NPC near the mail moogle

last on on the other side

[balmy bobcat]

hey, if i had used the trial on a separate steam account, i can buy the game and continue on another account, correct?

[dapper shadow]

@leaden ginkgo Log onto your lodestone. then on your character's page, there is the gears icon which you can click on, then edit your profile. put the code there.

[tulip plover]

Ok i can see perfect balance coming in hand if you dropped greasw lightning or twin snake buff and need it back quick is thr correct

This*

[dapper shadow]

@balmy bobcat If you want to continue on the same account, you will have to buy the game via steam, if that is what you are asking. If you buy the game on another account, you will have to start over.

[balmy bobcat]

so as long as its on steam, it doesnt matter which steam account it is on?

[dapper shadow]

@tulip plover Your general gcd rotation can be found on the MNK guide up on the balance:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TbS2BYtZ7hFgZtqiIbVa1qWGX1m_t5ks8QNUm9ppGD4/edit
scroll down until you see the pretty GCD diagram and have a read.

[elfin edge]

If you played ff14 on steam, you still need a squeenix account right?

I think the character is tied to that squeenix account?

or does steam have something special for login

[obsidian patio]

You still need a square enix account

[dapper shadow]

@balmy bobcat I'm sorry I don't have an answer for that.

[leaden ginkgo]

@dapper shadow i see no gear

where is is specifically

[dapper shadow]

gah im sorry. Im using OTP but my phone died and cant show you visually😅

[leaden ginkgo]

can you explain ?

like what is it around ?

[steel wedge]

Hey My tank was not ready and we have a penalty on the duty find her if I promote someone to lead or can we bypass it or do I have to wait it out?

[leaden ginkgo]

wait it out

[dapper shadow]

@leaden ginkgo Ill get back to you once my phone is charged up. if no one answers your question by then

[steel wedge]

Kk

[leaden ginkgo]

are character names reserved per data center or world?

[obsidian patio]

World

[twilit arch]

per world

[frank wigeon]

can i transfer servers within minutes or do i need to wait for a cooldown or 3 months for instance?

[twilit arch]

90day cd is only if your character was made on a new/preferred world, or you recently transferred to one

normal transfer cd is 3 days

[dapper shadow]

it should lead you to here

[frank wigeon]

cool! ty @twilit arch

[leaden ginkgo]

i got it

[dapper shadow]

@leaden ginkgo ah I'm sorry I gave you the wrong information, it seems I've misremembered quite a lot of things in the lodestone, but here

[elfin edge]

The in-channel kupo-bot-spam message should give you a link directly to the profile; that's what I used

[simple remnant]

yo can someone help me out

i want to start playing but i dont want to level through ARR

and the boosts available will level me all the way up to 70

but i want to play through all the previous expansions

is there a way to boost to 50 and ARR without going straight to 70?

[twilit arch]

no way to boost to only 50, that said you could buy a boost for one of the ARR jobs and then unlock red mage or samurai to start at 50

and use them to playthru the expansion

[simple remnant]

oh ok

[hearty obsidian]

is it possible to see your registration code even after a week or so of registering for the free trial

[simple remnant]

so since i want to play through heavensward and up i should just complete ARR without the boost correct?

[twilit arch]

if you're not going to be a job boost, then i would strongly recommend making sure you're on a preferred server for the road to 70 buff

to make leveling to 50 easier, since the bulk of your exp for your first job comes from msq

so if you buy the ARR skip, you're losing out on that

also should note that if you buy the skip, you're losing out on a free fantasia

[simple remnant]

yeah theres no point in buying the ARR skip if i have to level to 50 anyways....

ok thank you!

[fair mountain]

This may be a dumb question, but what should I be saving gil for? Currently <lvl 30, so I have a ton of content to save/earn gil, but I just thought I would get an idea of how much/for what purpose i'll need it.

[tulip plover]

Im still struggling to figure out the best use for true north as far as positionals is concernced

[twilit arch]

true north is for when you can't hit your positionals

so if like the tank is holding the boss against a wall

and making it hard to hit the back positional, use true north

or you're forced to be in front of the boss

[tulip plover]

Ah ok

[twilit arch]

@fair mountain for most people gil is generally there to pay for teleport costs and buy glamours

there's nothing you really specifically have to save gil for

[tulip plover]

And ima just use perfect balance as an opener to get greased lightning up fast

[leaden ginkgo]

how can I trigger mount emotes?

[gloomy ice]

If the emote has a little lit up chocobo, it can be used while mounted. (Btw, the icons from left to right mean: standing, floating, underwater, sitting on ground, sitting on chair, mounted, and while fishing.)

[simple remnant]

just to clarify, purchasing shadowbringers doesnt include any job boosts or story skips correct?

[gloomy ice]

Correct

[twilit arch]

nope

[gloomy ice]

No free boosts

[simple remnant]

ok ty

[pure flicker]

you could also save money for a house

if you live in a less populated server

[leaden ginkgo]

what's the fastest way to level a crafting class to 19? (I want to unlock glamour, meld, etc.)

[pure flicker]

leves

there is usually 1 leve per class you can just spam that you can use just vendor resources to craft

when i did it last week it was like 3-4 leves per 5 levels

[leaden ginkgo]

I didn't understand

vendor resources to craft what?

[pure flicker]

a leve is a quest you can pick up that ask you to craft a specific item

[gloomy ice]

In each crafting guild, there's a vendor that sells relevant materials for early levels

[leaden ginkgo]

is that better than just collecting mats and craft the highest lvl recipe?

[pure flicker]

at lower levels the item is pretty basic so you can just walk to buy the item from the vendor by the class trainer

leves are really fast

you can make the item in bulk

i was able to level all of my crafters from level 1-5 to 50 over the course of a couple of days with just leves and the ishgard restoration

[leaden ginkgo]

leves require crafted items turn ins?

and I just buy the mats from the guild vendors instead of gathering?

[pure flicker]

yeah. the leve will ask you to bring a specific item to an npc

you could gather for sure

but its not as optimal tbh

[leaden ginkgo]

so how do you level gatherers?

miner/botanist

[pure flicker]

leves lol

[leaden ginkgo]

haha, figured

[pure flicker]

also the diadem is just braindead easy to farm in

[leaden ginkgo]

well, seeing that I won't be able to do anything with the stuff I'm crafting right now, I might as well do leves

I have a bunch of trash gear I've been crafting with my mats

what should I do with the materials I've gathered so far?

use for leves?

[obsidian patio]

Do note that for melding your own gear, your crafter needs to be the same equip level as the gear.

So a level 80 chest piece needs a level 80 crafting class

[marble drift]

you can make it into more gear then straight up de-synth it to raise your de-synth level

so you can break up higher level items into more things down the track

[leaden ginkgo]

@obsidian patio pog, whaat

[elfin edge]

desynth starts at lv30 though

[leaden ginkgo]

are desynth and meld levels different for each crafting job?

[elfin edge]

you unlock desynth at lv30 for the crafting job

[marble drift]

no.

to meld like Wynne said

[elfin edge]

and then you have to level up your desynth level by desynthing stuff

[marble drift]

you just need a crafter leveled to match the gear

[leaden ginkgo]

so I can just use a weaver to meld plate armor?

[marble drift]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

granted weaver is lvl 80

ok

[marble drift]

you can even use non-armor crafters

like culinarian to meld

[leaden ginkgo]

which one is the cheapest to level up?

[next steppe]

how long can you hold onto a completed beast tribe quest? I accidently did my dailies as my lv80 instead of what I wanted to level, so I got allegory tomestones from it, but since I'm at cap and the reset isn't for another 27 hours, was thinking I might be able to hold onto them until then.

Unless, if I abandon the daily quests, will they come back today? as in, can I re-do them?

[leaden ginkgo]

I don't really wanna invest a lot on it, I just want the benefits (meld, desynth, repair)

[next steppe]

tbh I'd rather abandon if I know I can re-do it as a lower level

[twilit arch]

iirc if you abandon them you can repick them up

[obsidian patio]

Yeah you get the allowance back if you abandon

[marble drift]

you can only desynth stuff based on what it took to make

or type of thing

[next steppe]

oh thank god

[marble drift]

to desynth everything that can be

[next steppe]

thank you both ❤️

[marble drift]

you'd need every crafter

so plate armor desynthed by armorers, jewelery by a goldsmith and other such things

[leaden ginkgo]

does my desynth level has anything to do with the gear level I can desynth?

[marble drift]

no

just what you receive from it

[twilit arch]

no, higher desynth level gives you better chance at better stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

my bag is full with gear I don't use anymore, I don't know what to keep

should I just vendor the stuff I don't use anymore?

it's mainly dungeon drops

they're bound, and even if I can sell some they're worth like 100 gil

[next steppe]

vendor, or if it's higher than uncommon, you can turn them in for seals with your GC

[little swift]

if you have crafters you can desynth them

[next steppe]

or that too, sorry

[little swift]

if its dungeon gear turn it in, if you are sergeant 2nd class or higher

turn it in to you GC

if you don't care abuot the money

toss it

[leaden ginkgo]

uncommon is green or pink?

[marble drift]

both

pink is "aetherial" a long dropped term

[little swift]

we don't really speak with rarities here

[next steppe]

I only really said uncommon for anything that isn't just grey

[little swift]

anything that's not white background gear

and purple stuff

[next steppe]

not sure how else to make that distinction

oh wait, unique, right?

[leaden ginkgo]

so, dungeon trash I get should be sold to my GC for seals?

[little swift]

if you're high enough rank

you can turn it in through the expert deliveries

from you GC Quartermaster(?)

[next steppe]

yeah, provisioning and deliveries or something like that

[little swift]

supply and provisioning missions

[leaden ginkgo]

thank you, this will be helpful to clear my storage

[next steppe]

and sorry, it's Storm Personnel Officer if you're with the Limsa GC, Serpent if you're Gridania and Flame if you're Ul'dah

for the seal turn in, I mean

basically this;

[pure flicker]

im only a lvl 70 mch but am i stupid or does auto crossbow not seem good

[twilit arch]

its good for AoE

[obsidian patio]

in terms of damage compared to heat blast, it beats it at 3 targets.

that includes the damage you'd get from the gauss round and ricochet charges.

[pure flicker]

ah okay

is that because i can just spam it off gcd?

because it does the same potency as spread shot

[obsidian patio]

no it's a GCD, but it has a 1.5 second recast time

compared to your normal GCD time with spread shot

!action hypercharge

[zinc orbit]

**Hypercharge** : lvl 30 MCH (10.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Releases the energy building in your firearm, causing it to become Overheated, increasing the potency of single-target weaponskills by 20.
Duration: 8s
Heat Gauge Cost: 50

Powered by XIVAPI

[pure flicker]

oh, i see now

[obsidian patio]

hmm, thought it also boosted aoe damage potency

but yeah, auto-crossbow at 3+ targets

[little swift]

you can cast it 5 times every hypercharge

[balmy bobcat]

If i played the trial one one steam account, can i buy the game on another account and continue?

[frozen karma]

cards on AST always have the same effect right? 3%/6% damage boost depending on if you play it correctly?

[little swift]

yes

[storm rampart]

Is there like a help guide on macros?

[little swift]

they are all what the old balance did

what sort of help guide are you looking for?

in the user macros tab, there's a button for all the text commands

and a little description on what they do

if you're looking to make yourself a UI, #protips-and-ui has a pinned guide for that

[storm rampart]

It's UI, thank you.

[little swift]

If i played the trial one one steam account, can i buy the game on another account and continue?
@balmy bobcat you can buy it on your current steam account, and enter the license on the mogstation to continue

[marble drift]

yeh

[little swift]

yup

old maps can be profitable too since less people are likely to do them

[marble drift]

you get a flat amount of gil per floor

which is 100k for final floor

[dusk zenith]

what is the most efficient way to farm protean crystals in eureka?

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to set an orchestrion roll as default for the inn?

[marble drift]

no only player housing

[obsidian patio]

@dusk zenith complete NMs and exchange the anemos crystals for proteans at gerolt

[frozen karma]

is there any reason to use benefic ii instead of regular benefic?

[obsidian patio]

more GCD efficient

so you only need one GCD to heal someone to full instead of two.

[marble drift]

^ why heal for a low amount when you can heal for a high amount with the same cast time

[frozen karma]

ah so it's a tradeoff, because regular benefic is more heal per MP spend though

[dusk zenith]

@obsidian patio i just started eureka, is anemos crystals at pyros?

[marble drift]

mana is not a huge issue later

[obsidian patio]

Anemos crystals are in anemos

proteans are also only from anemos

each zone of eureka has their own crystals

[dusk zenith]

what does NM stand for?

[obsidian patio]

Notorious Monsters, which are the fates of Eureka.

[dusk zenith]

oh i see

can i start them at lvl 1?

elemental 1

[obsidian patio]

yes, but you won't get the crystal/lockbox rewards until you're only one level below the recommended for the FATE

[frozen karma]

does benefic 3 exist?

[obsidian patio]

nope

[marble drift]

no

Cure 3 is the only one of those.

[obsidian patio]

so a level 15 NM will only give the crystals/lockboxes once you are level 14 or higher

[jade quartz]

Benefic 1 is more or less fully phased out of use by level 50

[dusk zenith]

got it, thanks!

[tulip plover]

How long is heavens ward exactly

Compared to arr

[little swift]

94 quests vs 184

a lot shorter

like half

[marble drift]

but the quests have a bit more substance

[little swift]

this includes the post patch quests

[marble drift]

less walk n talk. more actual things

[tulip plover]

Ok good

Cuz that 100 quest grind was horrific

[pure flicker]

its also like much better storywise so it goes down much better

in my opnion

[little swift]

the story is generally appreciated more

yes

[tulip plover]

So is stormblood better then hw?

[pure flicker]

depends on who you talk to lol

[gloomy ice]

I would say that it's more due to the fact that they really tightened up the pacing. There aren't those long agonizing stretches like preparing for the feast at Costa.

[tulip plover]

Omg dont remind me of that

[pure flicker]

i personally thought heavensward was stronger than stormblood

[tulip plover]

I was like wtf is the point of this

[pure flicker]

but stormblood has some really cool post patches

[leaden ginkgo]

i dig hw more

main story wise

[nova umbra]

what is that symbol?

[gloomy ice]

(Not to say that SB is bad. It isn't.)

[tulip plover]

So what do you do for lvl 60 gear

[leaden ginkgo]

high quality

[nova umbra]

on the right?

[leaden ginkgo]

oh the right nvm

[gloomy ice]

The one on the right? It was sold from someone's mannequin.

[nova umbra]

oh lol, didn't know that was a thing

[dense pier]

Is there no way to turn off "Quest syncs" in Shadowbringers? A little silly, but I rushed 2 level 80s with roulettes/PvP prior to entering ShB

[pure flicker]

you'll be able to buy a tier of gear in a new city at the end of heavensward called shire gear

[gloomy ice]

Yeah you can set up mannequins like a shopping boutique and sell directly from them.

[tulip plover]

Ah ok shire gear

[obsidian patio]

@dense pier nope

[tulip plover]

Cuz i finally got my monk to 50

[dense pier]

Welp

[tulip plover]

Gonna make a ninja

[obsidian patio]

if you do fail the quest instance you can set it to "Very Easy" to make it go by much faster

since that gives like 100% echo

[dense pier]

I've been kicking their butts for the most part but

It just feels like I'm in Eureka

lol

[leaden ginkgo]

gonna start working on ranged, which class is best to start with?

[pure flicker]

ranged physical? or magical

[leaden ginkgo]

physical

[pure flicker]

i like machinist, it has cool animations and you get to summon a gundam at level 80

dancer is like a "support" class at higher levels where you have a partner and have to base your combos around your dance

bard can play musical instruments

[jade quartz]

Any

[nova umbra]

how easy is it to solo the aquapolis?

[proud willow]

you're level synced, so it would be very difficult if it was possible at all

[dense pier]

So about this current...

Nvm

[balmy bobcat]

@little swift Ok sweet. so just to clarify, it doesn't matter which account i register the license on?

[jade quartz]

Aquapolis can be 2-manned but it’s time-consuming and risky. Recommend 3+

[little swift]

if you don't already use steam to launch the game, you can choose the steam account you want to connect it to i think

that is trial to full

[dense pier]

Wait, we can connect our FFXIV to a STEAM account?

[little swift]

but if you're currently using steam already, just use that account

there's a steam license xbye

you can only use the squenix version OR the steam version

[dense pier]

Welp

[little swift]

but once you choose one

you're locked into that forever

no flip flopping

[dense pier]

Interesting

I just unlocked the first ShB dungeon. I can do it solo with NPC companions

Is this advised or...?

[gloomy ice]

Welcome to Trusts

[twilit arch]

its up to you

[pure flicker]

they aren't fast

[twilit arch]

trusts are instant queues, but are going to be slower than running with other players

[marble drift]

they are significantly slower that a party of real players

[gloomy ice]

It's kind of a tradeoff. Queue times in exchange for normal clears. Or no queue time for 30-ish minute clear.

[dense pier]

Probably because they don't wall to wall pull

and the healing probably blows

[twilit arch]

they don't aoe

[dense pier]

Really now?

[proud willow]

going in with Trust NPCs is available the first time through the story, until you finish ShB and permanently unlock Trusts

[dense pier]

So they are WORSE than Squads?

[twilit arch]

not quite

[gloomy ice]

They're actually pretty intelligent

[pure flicker]

no, much than squads

they actually avoid mechs

[twilit arch]

They're not intended to be faster than player ran dungeons

should generally expect a trust dungeon to take around 25-30minutes

[gloomy ice]

Except they, yeah, don't wall pull or aoe very often if at all.

[dense pier]

Squads spam AoE even on 1 target, and absolutely tear through the dungeon if you have +offensive

[twilit arch]

so while they do mechanics properly, the trade off is that they single target dps to maintain that lowness

[dense pier]

I see

[twilit arch]

because trusts aren't intended to be better than player run dungeons

[marble drift]

there are some minor lore tidbits when doing it with trusts

[dense pier]

Yeah because with squads, they are just beefed up to ignore mechanics and the mechanics don't even target them, just you

[marble drift]

they banter and comment on certain things

[dense pier]

lol

Can you reun it again

later on

for the lore?

[twilit arch]

yes

but you will have to level up trusts

[dense pier]

I'll probably do that in the future sometime then

[gloomy ice]

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut after clearing 5.0 main story, they have to be leveled up independently.

[dense pier]

Oh?

[gloomy ice]

No EXP share like in them pokeymans.

[dense pier]

I'm confused

[twilit arch]

so once you complete 5.0 msq

they essentially gain their own xp bar

so if you want to use them to run the dungeons again. they have to be the appropriate level

[dense pier]

So is it more important to do the trusts now, or are you saying that once I complete 5.0 they don't have synced levels and I have to then level them

[twilit arch]

The latter

[dense pier]

kk

I don't like how tank isn't isnta-queue like most other MMOs

[pure flicker]

depends on what you are queueing for

[zinc orbit]

[dense pier]

I don' think I've had any insta-queues as Tank in weeks

no matter what I queue'd for, roulettes even

Always insta queue as healer though

[halcyon glen]

Playing on Aether, I’ve found that healer is almost always the bottleneck

[pure flicker]

at 80 for like expert i feel like its almost instant

[marble drift]

well tanks got a new addition to thier ranks this expansion

and healers did not

and gunbreaker plays like a dps in most cases

so lots of people flocked to it

[halcyon glen]

Healers have the fewest options, and haven’t had a new addition since HW

that combined with only one pre-30 healer class means healer players are few and far between

At least if I had to guess

[marble drift]

I know alot of people who facepalmed at the astro changes

I myself stopped playing the class.

exchanging a card system I actually kinda liked

for 6 budget balance rip-offs

[leaden ginkgo]

will the weekly limit on Allegory tomes be removed with 5.3?

[marble drift]

Doubtful

[jade quartz]

No

Not a chance

[pure flicker]

its not a new eden raid tier

[jade quartz]

Will happen with 5.4

In accordance with the usual patch cycle.

[leaden ginkgo]

so

odd ponder

What is
The reward and content of Eureka?

[obsidian patio]

it's where you make the stormblood relic weapons

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it primarily that nowadays?

[obsidian patio]

it's actually a pretty decent place to farm for gil since not many people stay for the exclusive items from it

and it's a GREAT place to grind for poetics if you level up enough

[dense pier]

Wow

This was a rogue first ShB dungeon. Mentor tank doing wall-to-wall pulls and never once getting out of any AOE

He almost died on me twice

[jade quartz]

#general-discussion or #rants please

[grim adder]

oo You can grind for poetics?

Guess it's time to start eureka

[obsidian patio]

yeah the NM Fates there give a decent amount

and if you get a good instance you could have a lot of fates pop up somewhat in a row

[nova umbra]

Top is Kurenai, Bottom is M'naago. Why does M'naago give way more when they're both from Stormblood?

they're both 5 hearts

[leaden ginkgo]

Bonus item?

[gloomy ice]

Yeah each delivery client has a rotating table at max rank. Each have a bonus item. The bonus item gives way more scrips than normal and are worth doing when they appear. All but the ShB delivery client give the same amount of scrips, btw.

[nova umbra]

ah that makes sense

[leaden ginkgo]

is it worth leveling my retainers?

[pure flicker]

yes

[gloomy ice]

They can help with difficult to obtain items such as skins for leather or timed gathering nodes. They also have access to their own missions where they can get exclusive items such as minions or the special dyes.

[leaden ginkgo]

also, should I really focus on giving them top notch gear?

[pure flicker]

up until max level you are probably fine with vendor gear

[gloomy ice]

It’s not the highest priority but doing so will help with their ability to get items.

[leaden ginkgo]

understood, thx

sorry for bothering again with another question

[nova umbra]

give them gear to do their highest exploration venture if you want to max them asap

[leaden ginkgo]

but does the retainer job has any difference on what it can achieve?

[gloomy ice]

All combat based retainers have the same item pool. Each of the three gathering classes for retainers have separate pools. Retainers can’t be crafters though.

[pure flicker]

DoLs and combat classes has different missions

[leaden ginkgo]

do they benefit from items like the frienship circlet or something else that increases exp?

[gloomy ice]

Not that I’m aware of? I’ve never tested it though. I’m uncertain if it would.

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks again

[remote lintel]

how hard would it be to do optimal dps on classes like bard

not counting rng

[little swift]

Theoretically? Not awfully hard

Its just abc and aligning buffs

[remote lintel]

so doing optimal dps is basically only as hard as doing the rotation right

which for easier classes would be easy

[little swift]

Doing your rotation right, losing as little uptime as possible, and doing mechanics correctly

You do end up losing a lot of dps on bard if your procs don't align

[hollow furnace]

hey im trying to setup a ps4 controller for pc and its just not working, any piece of advice?

[remote lintel]

you on steam?

[hollow furnace]

no

regular pc

[remote lintel]

my advice is to add ff14 to steam

[hollow furnace]

i did

still nothing

it doesnt detect the controller

[remote lintel]

are your steam controller settings enabled for ps4?

[hollow furnace]

yes

[remote lintel]

how did you connect it

[hollow furnace]

plugged

I even tried wireless/bluetooth stuff

[balmy bobcat]

I asked this earlier but I think that I misworded it, so I’m not sure if the answer remains the same; If I played the free trial on one steam accoun, Can buy the game on another steam account and continue?

[remote lintel]

screenshot the steam controller settings

[obsidian patio]

you'd need a new square enix account

since it cannot be linked to multiple steam accounts

[frozen karma]

I'm setting up my hotbars rn as AST, what should I put on my main one? I mean, what are the 12 most used spells?

[balmy bobcat]

Ah ok so I can’t continue on the same character?

[remote lintel]

try enabling the generic controller support

[obsidian patio]

yes, if you're going to play on another account

[balmy bobcat]

Ok. Thank you!!

[remote lintel]

@frozen karma the cards, damage, and spells that directly heal people

[hollow furnace]

do I enable 3rd party software while doing this or no? i tried both but not the generic setting

[remote lintel]

no you shouldn't be using 3rd party controller software while using steam controller stuff

[stable hinge]

what sort of things can I get with MGP?

[remote lintel]

it messes with it

[hollow furnace]

I see, let me this ill @ you if thats ok

[remote lintel]

sure

[pure flicker]

hikari there's a lot of cosmetic glam stuff you can buy with MGP

[obsidian patio]

@stable hinge Only cosmetic/vanity stuff. Things like outfits, cosmetic weapons, minions, mounts, and hairstyles/emotes.

[stable hinge]

how much are they on average? I was thinking about getting the 50k token from the tomestones

[obsidian patio]

Wildly varies based on the item.

[pure flicker]

a weapon is like 50-100k

the sabotender mount is 2 million

[obsidian patio]

You can see all the items you can get in the prize exchange options in the gold saucer itself by talking to the gold saucer attendent.

[frozen karma]

is there any point in using undraw on AST? It seems I can just use draw and get a new card anyway, right?

[obsidian patio]

nope

undraw is useless

it's a holdover spell from the previous card system

[stable hinge]

Thank you

[frozen karma]

if I draw a card I can wait as long as I want to before I give it to someone right?

like they don't decay over time?

[hollow furnace]

@remote lintel bro it doesnt work, cant calibrate controller

[obsidian patio]

yeah cards don't expire

[dense pier]

Are poetics used for anything specifically at 80?

or is it all just lower-level vendors

[pure flicker]

yes, you can trade them in for mats for the relic weapon

[frozen karma]

so I can just ignore undraw and wait until I get redraw?

[remote lintel]

does your controller not connect to your computer at all @hollow furnace

[hollow furnace]

it does

[remote lintel]

yes damage

[dense pier]

I don't think you need undraw at all

[hollow furnace]

steam recognizes it

and it works with other games

[dense pier]

Just don't even acknowledge that Undraw exists

Redraw is your bread&butter

[remote lintel]

and you're using controller mode on ff14 and have it set to the ps4 layout?

[hollow furnace]

i didnt get that far i went straight to calibrate and it doesnt work with any layout

should I try after enabling controller mode?

[obsidian patio]

to put in perspective how bad Undraw is, you can make a macro version of it that's better in every way. And you still won't ever use it.

[frozen karma]

so my main hotbar should be malefic and combust for damage, benefic/helios/essential dignity for healing, and then my card stuff, right?

[remote lintel]

your controller isnt really going to work if you're not on controller mode

[obsidian patio]

yep

[remote lintel]

theres no point really calibrating it

[hollow furnace]

alright let me try

[balmy bobcat]

Am I able to install the game before I begin my gametime?

On steam

[remote lintel]

pretty sure

[balmy bobcat]

Okk

[deft quiver]

is waste not and waste not 2 worth it for the crafting jobs?

level 45ish crafting with 218 cp

[hollow furnace]

@remote lintel nothing man

[remote lintel]

none of the buttons do anything?

[hollow furnace]

Some do like i try walking and he just keeps going.. Like i press a buncha buttons and he just does 1 thing out of 20 i pressed

i rebooted the game and everything after switching thru controller layouts

nothing

I looked up on YT all the videos it just works in 1 go like wtf

[remote lintel]

did you calibrate it

[hollow furnace]

doesnt let me

[remote lintel]

what you mean it doesnt let you

[hollow furnace]

when it asks me to hit joystick up it doesnt do it and it just resets makes me click calibrate again

i can discord stream if you need me to

[remote lintel]

[hollow furnace]

[remote lintel]

if it still doesnt work might try asking in #technology-discussion

[hollow furnace]

Yea didnt work man

[molten spruce]

[marble drift]

!itemglam lord's yakuta

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Item not found, Kupo!

[marble drift]

hmm

i belive its a mogstation thing

[alpine shadow]

isnt that an event item?

[obsidian patio]

mogstation only

[dense pier]

Is there a wayt

to enable in chatlog

who is putting down markers

[obsidian patio]

It's the Fuga Haori

[dense pier]

or

calling vote abandons

[marble drift]

I was completely wrong

[obsidian patio]

Nope to both, xbye

[dense pier]

wtf

Some guy trolling our alliance

we've wiped twice

[mossy tartan]

What happens when you choose “think of your strongest allies” in the bozja incident quest?

[marble drift]

same thing

[mossy tartan]

thank you

[deft quiver]

how does collectability work with crafters?

[little swift]

Its just like crafting a normal item

But you have collectors synthesis on

[deft quiver]

is higher collectability like the hq bar or what?

[little swift]

Yup

[deft quiver]

oh ok cool

when/how do i unlock master recipes?

[little swift]

You purchase the masterbooks

[deft quiver]

with scripts?

[little swift]

With yellow scrips or otherwise

[deft quiver]

oh cool

[little swift]

The arr ones require certain turnins

To talan in mor dhona

[rugged flicker]

Why does the sort feature on the estate settings list never work?

[stark delta]

How do i jnow the amoury bonus for exp is applied. I have a lvl 80 monk and leveling a 36 white mage but i cant see the buff

[oak ice]

The armoury bonus is active the moment you're not on your highest leveled job

[stark delta]

Also really stupid. But as a noob how do you make money in this game after the main story quest are over?

[oak ice]

It will say something like, "gained x class exp (+100%)"

Either pick up crafting, run various content like extreme trials and sell drops or just play the market

[sand sable]

do you have to complete the other eden savage raids to unlock shiva savage?

[slate arrow]

Treasure Maps are also highly profitable

no, just 5-8 normal and talking to the savage unlock person

[sand sable]

hmm

i only see these on my df

but on PF im able to join shiva savage

[slate arrow]

Did you look at your high end duty finder

[sand sable]

ohh

my bad

[slate arrow]

Otherwise known as raid finder

It's where the current savage and extreme instances will always be

[bitter plaza]

you can only call one vote abandon per raid can't you? or there's some kind of timer on it

per person, at least

[sand sable]

gotcha, thank you @slate arrow

[slate arrow]

@bitter plaza you can't vote abandon (or kick, I think) during the first 10 minutes of while there's items still being rolled on

[bitter plaza]

yeah I know about those restrictions, but I mean is there anything that prevents spamming

[slate arrow]

I don't know.

[stark delta]

Is fishing profitable at all? I really like it

[slate arrow]

Depends on the patch.

[uncut stirrup]

How does one go about getting the new relic weapons, I tried getting a group for the SB raids but after 4 hours in queue I gave up.

[slate arrow]

You do the Stormblood raids

[uncut stirrup]

That is my problem, duty finder doesn't seem to find a group

[slate arrow]

Is Light EU or JP

[uncut stirrup]

EU

I was doing this yesterday

[slate arrow]

do you have all the languages ticked on

[uncut stirrup]

yep

[jovial wren]

Are you dps?

[slate arrow]

Welp, it sounds like a case of bad luck then

[oak ice]

DPS have fairly good queues for alliance raids

[slate arrow]

Since stormblood raids are level 70 it means it's really easy to cheese the item level requirement by just unequipping gear

[jovial wren]

Ah, i've just finished the main arr story yesterday.

[oak ice]

The issue is everyone and their mother's dog removes gear to not be dropped in on those

[slate arrow]

On top of that, people also use alliance for leveling often so

[uncut stirrup]

Would the quest update if I do the dung unsynced?

[slate arrow]

yes, but you can't solo them still

plus, you still need 3 parties

[oak ice]

You would need 3 people minimum and it would take a looooooooong time

[uncut stirrup]

WIll try get some ppl together

I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem 😄

[slate arrow]

Hope you get them out of the way soon

[uncut stirrup]

Yea, I don't think it was a very 'smart' decision from dev's end

[mossy tartan]

For the item “Artisan’s Culottes” is it always high quality? All the players that sell it in the market have the next to them

[frank ridge]

No

[mossy tartan]

Does the HQ appearance differ from the normal one?

[frank ridge]

Nope

[mossy tartan]

Great. Thank you

[stiff osprey]

which tank feels the most active? which has the highest ceiling?

[frank ridge]

GNB feels the most active to me at least

[stiff osprey]

is there a discernable reason? high apm, lots of mobility, etc?

i'm pretty new, so i'm just trying to get my head on straight with all of this

[dusk zenith]

how do we convert anemos crystals into protean crystals?

[dapper shadow]

The devs intend for the GNB to have rotations to a complexity close to a DPS. While being a tank

[frank ridge]

GNB has a whole of burst combo instead of spamming the usual tank burst skill

Not sure about APM cause I heard DRK can be pretty weave-intensive as well

[stiff osprey]

is there a tank in particular that's favored at end game content?

the conventional mantra seems to be play what you enjoy

but i imagine there are preferences at the highest level

[dapper shadow]

No. Tanks at high percentiles have a difference of 500 dps.

GNB dealing the most damage

But no one will bar off a WAR or even having a second thought of thinking that a WAR is suboptimal than GNB

Unless you are going for mega number 1 or close.

[stiff osprey]

yeah, that's what i was getting at

the final %s in min/max

i can't imagine that'll be my experience, but i was more academically curious

because i tend to aim for that kind of content in games i'm more vested in

[frank ridge]

Gonna need Ultimate players in here but a friend of mine keep saying DRK is so good in TEA or somethin

[stiff osprey]

that's interesting

i was reading that drk can be annoying because of their invuln?

some kind of heal requirement associated with it

[vocal shell]

Lynx’s video about GNB gives a good insight about that class if you want to watch it

[dapper shadow]

Different tanks begets different utility. DPS is not the only matrix to measure what good tanks are

[stiff osprey]

i'll start that now

yeah, i wouldn't expect so

there's nuanced considerations like

requiring less resources enabling your supports to dps more

and what not

[frank ridge]

How much shit your healers can tolerate XD

[dapper shadow]

If i can give analogy to healers, the combined DPS of sch+ast is currently superior, even though individually SCH’s rdps numbers are pitiful.

[frank ridge]

How would a SCH AST combo heal Living Dead

[stiff osprey]

which tank is the most resilient to bad teammates

like if you were in a pub group

[dapper shadow]

PLD can heal themselves on demand

[frank ridge]

PLD I think? You can heal yourself and you got ranged attacks and easiest invuln to deal with

[slate arrow]

PLD or WAR

nah wait PLD yeah

but even then you can only do so much yourself before bad teammates just fuck you over

Especially in savage

[dapper shadow]

For living dead, if you have 1000 hp, you just have to heal the drk a total of 999 hp, this value does not change even though more damage is dealt like boss autos. So ED + Recital excog would do the job. Another way is to not have drk in your comp

[stark delta]

I keep looking up guides for fishing leve quest but they are wrong. Where are the fishing leve quest

[stiff osprey]

yeah, i was reading something about generally wanting a white mage if you were running a drk

big st heals, i assume

[frank ridge]

Benediction

is a button that heals you to full

[stiff osprey]

lol

i think i'll probably start with the gunbreaker

i'm less interested in the dps and more the fact that it seems like it can reward you for intelligent sequencing

[frank ridge]

So yes if you DRK with SCH+AST they both need to plan ahead but if it's WHM they can just ok I'll Bene.

[stiff osprey]

without being a tax in some situations

which it seems like drk can be

if your party isn't comfortable healing you

[agile laurel]

it's literally just a case of drk's invulnerability probably won't work unless it's a whm, or an extremely awake sch/ast

[slate arrow]

@stark delta you need to do the Leve unlock quest for that levemette before every other Leve unlocks

[dapper shadow]

If you are going to pug savage content you’d see WHMs alot

[stiff osprey]

you only get 2 healers in raids, correct?

[lament citrus]

Except alliance

6

[stiff osprey]

oh okay

for some reason i thought you only got 2

[lament citrus]

2 per party

[stiff osprey]

oh are raids like several parties working in tandem?

i played some wow legion, so i expected it was like

here's your entire raid

[lament citrus]

That's alliance raid

[stiff osprey]

ah okay

[lament citrus]

3 parties in same raid

Each party contains 1 tank 2 healers and 5 dps

[dapper shadow]

In PUG savage you’d see WHM+SCH alot because they are generally better with uncooridinated plays

[lament citrus]

Non-savage+ level any healer works

[stiff osprey]

i'm leveling a scholar at the moment, and my plan is to level gunbreaker next, then either dancer or astro

if the classes weren't level gated, i think i would like gunbreaker/astro/dancer

but it seemed really practical to level an arcanist

[lament citrus]

Scholar/summoner are dry jobs before 60

[stiff osprey]

i heard the game in general is dry before 60

[dapper shadow]

Summoner is dumb before 70

[lament citrus]

Not everything

[agile laurel]

scholar prior to 60 is kinda pain

[lament citrus]

^

[stiff osprey]

i have 3 irl friends i jumped in with at the same time

so fortunately i have people to run dungeons with

or whatever the terminology is for the instanced 4 mans

[agile laurel]

like i got stone vigil when i was quite new to sch and o h g o d
