However simply purchasing the next one automatically gets rid of the last one.

olive inlet
#

gotcha, tyty :D

deft quiver
#

can squadrons only do 1 lvl 40-50 quest per week?

remote lintel
#

what does the busy status do

obsidian patio
#

Stops people from sending you tells and party invites/trades

remote lintel
#

ty

midnight slate
#

Is it possible to increase my odds of extracting materia or is it always at 40%

twilit arch
#

its always 40% for t8

clear sequoia
#

For the Grand Company ranking system, how would I achieve the ranks higher than Flame Captain?

twilit arch
#

you don't

clear sequoia
#

Then why is it a thing?

twilit arch
#

ranks higher than captain are currently not earnable

clear sequoia
#

It’s been there since SHB came out

#

At least from what I remember

spare sapphire
#

Do I need to do something special in order to be able to teleport directly to the Doman Enclave? I cannot find it in the map under Othard unless I am in the Enclave itself

twilit arch
#

it fleshes out the idea that this is a fully fledge company with various ranks (adding to immersion/roleplay), and its something they've been adding to over time

#

those ranks have been there since arr

clear sequoia
#

Why don’t they make them available..

twilit arch
#

🤷‍♀️

clear sequoia
#

It would give it more purpose in that sort of stuff

#

Weird.

obsidian patio
#

They don’t want to add anymore promotions unless there’s something behind them besides higher GC seal cap

#

Like glamours

twilit arch
#

@spare sapphire you attuned to the main aetheryte in the enclave, right? cos otherwise it should be on your teleport list

spare sapphire
#

yeah i am. But it's completely invisible from the word/region map so there is no way for me to click on the aetheryte

molten spruce
twilit arch
#

oh, from the world map

molten spruce
#

hes in korea

twilit arch
#

honestly, its just easier to open the teleport list if you want to teleport to the enclave than using the world map

spare sapphire
#

ah ok I see. I guess I can do that. It's weird that it's not showing on the world map though

twilit arch
#

its because the enclave is its own map instance

spare sapphire
#

I suppose, but it is the only one that is not accessible through the world map

frail fulcrum
#

Whats the name of the armor with a dragon hanging on the back?

twilit arch
#

@molten spruce 403 iirc means that something's interrupting the ability to connect. KR has its own server so that's most likely the issue. he'd need to use a vpn to circumvent it iirc but not sure how'd you do that ps4

gloomy ice
#

@molten spruce A friend of mine who was stationed in Korea had the same problem. But I don’t recall how he got around it or if he ever did while he was there. I’ll try to get a hold of him. 🤔

molten spruce
#

unfortunate

gloomy ice
#

@frail fulcrum Purple and gold colored wings and stuff? That’s the Dreadwyrm set.

frail fulcrum
#

Ah thanks@gloomy ice

molten spruce
#

are there any free vpns?

nova umbra
#

or does it replace it

twilit arch
#

it will be replaced

mental garnet
#

@molten spruce yes but they're usually limited and will make their money by using data they collect from your usage of it

molten spruce
#

wdym by 'collecting data'

mental garnet
#

you use their service, they collect data on what you're doing, what sites you're visiting, what you're looking up, etc.

molten spruce
#

ahhh

mental garnet
#

then sell that to others (advertisers would be my guess) who want to pay for it

molten spruce
#

if it changes the id of my friend from korea its ok

#

he cant play ff14

mental garnet
#

the only free vpn i have personal experience with is windscribe

#

i'm sure there are others but that's the one i used to use and it worked fine for me, though my use case was of course different than your friend's

unreal aspen
#

for normal raids i know the loot lockout is weekly

#

but how exactly does it work?

#

like if you roll on an item you cant get another one from that raid

leaden ginkgo
#

you get to roll on a single item per raid encounter

unreal aspen
#

or if you roll on an item you cant get it again?

#

so it doesnt matter which one, its just one each raid

leaden ginkgo
#

1 item per raid yea

unreal aspen
#

if i do the raid and get none then can i redo it and still roll?

leaden ginkgo
#

if you passed on everything, yea

#

/didn't get anything

unreal aspen
#

ok ty

leaden ginkgo
#

the only raids with lockout right now are E5-E8 and the NieR alliance raid

#

others can be farmed

ebon berry
#

hey, what sort of things does eureka give? like exp, materia, ??

twilit arch
#

nier is not weekly locked

leaden ginkgo
#

was primarily for the stormblood relic weapon iirc, but it has glamour and other items

#

o is it not

twilit arch
#

the only thing weekly locked from it is the cluster

#

copied factory is previous tier, so it has nor eason to be weekly locked on the gear

leaden ginkgo
#

i see, my bad

#

wait does this mean the gear itself isn't on a weekly lockout? the YoRHa set

simple shore
#

Nope, it isnt.

twilit arch
#

yes, you can freely farm copied factory for gear and the coin

simple shore
#

You can roll on as much of it as you want

twilit arch
#

that said the next nier raid will be weekly locked

upbeat storm
#

whats the meld priority for whm?

unreal aspen
#

how worth it is the crystarium weapon vs resistance weapon?

twilit arch
#
This applies to dungeon gear, prog gear, raid gear, LITERALLY EVERYTHING
Ideally, use one of the BiS sets listed below which have already done the hard work!

If you're leveling up or working on prog, grab piety to comfort and then:
Crit > Det | DH

This priority is for while your gear is in flux (leveling, progging, etc) and you can't math out proper stat tiers when you're getting a new piece(s) every week!``` @upbeat storm
#

the relic weapon for certain jobs can win out vs the 490 crystarium weapon, but once you're able to augment to 500, crystarium is going to be better @unreal aspen

unreal aspen
#

what do i get the crystarium augment mats from?

jade quartz
#

Savage

unreal aspen
#

is it the thing from e7s or is that just for left side gear

twilit arch
#

the ester is the weapon augment

#

eventually the tokens from the nier raid will allow you to buy the ester

leaden ginkgo
#

that is gonna be a thing in 5.3 right? being able to get savage mats from the previous tier in the new alliance raid

twilit arch
#

yeah the alliance raid coming with 5.3 will allow you to buy the augment items for the crystarium gear

#

though the ester, weapon augment, is usually not immediately available

jade quartz
#

Glaze (E6S) for accessories
Twine (E7S) for left side
Ester (E7S) for weapon.

mental garnet
#

how significant are the eureka weekly challenge log rewards?

#

i haven't gone into eureka yet so i'm wondering if i should rush that tonight

jade quartz
#

significant

mental garnet
#

dang

#

ok

#

is soloing inefficient compared to being in a group for eureka?

left moth
#

It's harder to get full credit solo unless greedy tanking so leveling takes much longer if depending on nm's for xp once chalenge log is used up

tulip plover
#

Do bards have positionals

proud willow
#

nope, no ranged classes have them

tulip plover
#

Good

#

I can just blast shit then

crimson wind
#

When is Shake it Off most optimally used?

#

At the end of ToB, Vengeance, and Raw Intuition?

hardy abyss
#

in SB, buying lv70 gear when hitting maxed level was viable until farmed what you wanted from weekly tomestones

#

is that still the case in SHB?

#

for lv80*

proud willow
#

If you want to pick up lv 80 crafted gear immediately, you can

hardy abyss
#

HQ crafted gear I'm referring to if not obvious

proud willow
#

there may be something of a stigma for people entering Savage wearing full crafted without any tome/normal gear

#

as it gives the impression that you're rushing into it and may be in way over your head

#

but stat-wise, it's fine

hardy abyss
#

not yet interested in static for a time anyway so until I can get the gear from weekly resets it'll be best

#

ty

crude thistle
#

How much should i hang onto my poetics on my progression from 50-70

proud willow
#

It's not terribly important to save them up

little swift
#

When is Shake it Off most optimally used?
@crimson wind whenever you need to mitigate raidwide damage. the increase from consuming one of your other cooldowns isn't super large, so if you can match that with the end of one of those defensives, great! but otherwise using it as is would be perfectly fine. Raw Intuition shares a CD with nascent flash so more often than not if you'renot using it for mitigation you'd use it for healing so you'd not use it on SiO

proud willow
#

there are many sources of easy Poetics, and it's not crucial to immediately put on a full poetics suit as soon as you hit 60 or 70

crimson wind
#

ok ty channy

daring turret
#

Why does the wolves den group my skills in combos? How can i change that?

twilit arch
#

because pvp uses a different set of skills

rough lance
#

the nodes in diadem spwns according to ur lvl?

#

i can't seems to find nodes

slate arrow
#

because PvP is like playing Mario kart

#

@rough lance use your node finder skill

rough lance
#

while i see everyone mining

#

oh

elfin edge
#

every node has all the skill levels

#

but they're kind of more scattered than the overworld

#

and have more variety

#

I think there's also a few on the islands you have to fly to

#

(there's 2 big islands the last time I was there where you couldn't just jump to them)

slate arrow
#

Fortunately, the diadem has flying unlocked by default, but it's faster to just take the gales which launcher you to the next island

rough lance
#

too many ppl...

#

by the time i reach there someone else mining..

crude thistle
#

Ty @proud willow

elfin edge
#

I think the mining nodes are instanced to you, right?

rough lance
#

yea i jus realised my bad

sweet frigate
#

Do I need to worries about gear until certain lvl?

warped nest
#

Make sure that they don't suck

molten anchor
#

i wouldn't worry too much about your gear early on, except make sure to talk to the smith found in the major cities inns to get the brand new set at level 15 at the very least

#

just take the stuff you get for the msq and youll be good

sweet frigate
#

alright thank you

warped nest
#

If your gear avg item level is worse than the item dropped from 3 dungeons ago... Maybe upgrade a lil

sweet frigate
#

alright :D

molten anchor
#

i think his name is the smith anyways, its been a while since i've talked to him, he does some basic tutorials for your role and doing them gets you a really solid early game gear set called the "brand new" set

leaden ginkgo
#

I keep getting "Unable to download patch files [30413] [25008] [20495]" error.

#

I tried r/ffxiv but none of the suggested solutions worked for me.

safe rover
#

i hit level 80 astro, but im kinda confused on materia. should i put everything into crit? or crit dh? crit det? my 80 friend said i should split half and half crit/dh, but every other resource says crit/det

dapper shadow
#

From the balance

safe rover
#

alright, tysm MangoHappy

rough lance
#

the only way to increase gp is drinks?

#

Cordial, yes. Or just wait.

waxen terrace
#

Am trying to make a macro where it'll target a friend of mine, use Nascent Flash on them, then return my focus to my foe. I had it work for Dragon Sight, but doing it on this doesn't function for some reason.

#

. /macroicon "Nascent Flash"
. /merror off
. /target "Aika Nerang"
. /ac "Nascent Flash" <t>
. /wait 1
. /target <le>

small vault
#

I am leveling machinist, which is the best gear I can buy at 60 from marketboard: Sky Rat set or Gaganaskin set? At a glance, the sky rat tends to have more skill speed and direct hit while gaganaskin has more determination

faint flare
#

@waxen terrace just use

/Ac "nascent flash" <Their party slot number>

#

Done

@small vault Is there any reason you are not using tome gear?

leaden ginkgo
#

is the level 70 yellow scrip gear the best i can get for my crafters at that level?

faint flare
#

If you dont want to spend gil

leaden ginkgo
#

if i had the gil, what should i go for?

#

highest level HQ items from the marketboard?

faint flare
#

Yes, HQ crafted stuff is typically better than scrip gear when you toss a few melds in iy

leaden ginkgo
#

ty

frank ridge
#

Lv70 though? Might be better to save for Lv80?

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah im scared ill just get to 80 with little to no gil since i don't have much rn so ill stick to scrip gear

waxen terrace
#

ok thanks Vinyl, got it set up so HUD 1 is my GNB one with Heart of Stone doing that with Hotbar 9, and WAR doing that with Nascent Flash, and it looks/feels great. Just need a way to autoswap huds when I swap to GNB/WAR. 😛

proud willow
#

it happens to new people sometimes

#

you'll teleport into the boss room after they start it, so you're only missing one series of hallways

faint flare
#

When you're out, run backwards to the large oval room, there a ramo down to a bulkhead the people in armour blowup

#

The armour just Tps you outside then you walk about around inside

vital bone
#

hey everyone! Im looking to come back to the game. Last time I played was when ARR very VERY first released. I havent played since.

All my friends no longer play and Im kinda looking for a pretty good populated server/node to play on, and maybe some friends to enjoy the game with that is noob friendly.

Ill be buying game time and shadowbringers upon rejoining...

so, any suggestions of where to begin or make my new home? Or any friendly folk?

faint flare
#

Ro blowup the bulkhead

#

Unless they're exploiting to skip cutscene (or using a different language) people cant get too far ahead

vital bone
#

how would you know if there are no computers in texas?

faint flare
#

Oh yeah the armour is a individual cutscene

vital bone
#

sooo....bout my question

faint flare
#

Anywhere is good...any data centre in your region

#

Preferred servers is adviced if possible for the xp bonus

vital bone
#

gotcha!

#

anyone know of any servers or areas in particular that are noob friendly? or have good communities for some newbish people? Like i know the basics of the game, but never really made it past level 30 i think

#

all my friends quit and left me on my own

little swift
#

every server has a novice network that you can shout for an invite to

#

there are mentors there that will answer questions you may have

#

and it serves as a world chat until you are no longer a novice

faint flare
#

They're all pretty friendly. Server choice itself doesn't matter these days since basically everything is done cross server within data centre and you can freely hop world's within the data centre

little swift
#

but other than that, looking for an FC (player guild) that fits you is probably something that would benefit you more

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a way to consistently farm elemental clusters?

obsidian wren
#

Believe there's lv 50 timed nodes that always have clusters

vital bone
#

is that new? i dont think that was int he game when i started playing

#

i played OG ffxiv

#

and was there when the world ended and came bcak for ARR too

leaden ginkgo
#

oh sorry meant things like wind and lightning clusters, and ty

obsidian wren
#

I believe its like that at least, just from memory

vital bone
#

collectors edition, all that...as much as i love the game and stuff, none of my friends are into FF like i am 😦

jade quartz
#

Visiting between worlds is a newer feature yeah

twilit arch
#

aetherial reduction is generally better way of farming clusters

jade quartz
#

There are timed nodes with clusters but the usual way to get them is aetherial reduction

twilit arch
#

than doing the timed nodes

vital bone
#

balsalmic Reduction. got it.

jade quartz
#

👀

stable hinge
#

What skills should I be using to get the highest collectability?

obsidian wren
#

Scrips at least, dunno what aethersands are

nova umbra
#

what are the most popular foods? I know Mejillones al Ajillo for Crafting, Coffee Biscuit for gathering, Stuffed Highland Cabbage for pretty much everyone. Anything else?

#

need to stock up :x

#

I think there are better foods than coffee biscuit, but I think it's good enough for most people to hit 800 GP and that's why people are using it?

little swift
#

Blood Bou for crafting as well

#

or matcha as the budget blood bou

hallow juniper
#

Hello,
I cant start "The Battle on Bekko" on my Sam, what do I need to do so I can do the quest?

jade quartz
#

Are you a level 70 samurai, and have you completed all samurai quests up to “The Hunt for Ugetsu”?

obsidian wren
#

do you have any error message?

#

and if you have to do a single player instance, did you make sure you're not in a party and not queueing for any dungeons

hallow juniper
#

Can I see which Class quests I already did?

#

Or do I need to check all the npcs?

obsidian wren
#

you can check in the journal

#

there's a current/completed button near the top, and you can then filter to job quests

#

if you got the MSQ tracker enabled (topleft of screen at default) there's a smaller quest title below it, that's the job quest for your current class you can do

hallow juniper
jade quartz
#

Click “complete”

#

Then navigate to the tab “class/job quests”

#

And use the drop-down menu inside to navigate to “Disciple of War Job Quests”

lime sphinx
#

can we change the weather/daytime on /gpose?

hallow juniper
#

Alright, Seems like I already did Battle on Bekko, but why cant I play the MSQ then?
"The Light of Inspiration"?

jade quartz
#

:S ok so you haven’t done your role quests

faint flare
#

Did you do the lv80 role quest

#

Thats what you need

jade quartz
#

You’re looking at stuff from the last expansion instead of your current expansion

faint flare
#

I think the role quests have their own dropdown in the journal?

jade quartz
#

You need to complete the questline which starts with Lue-Reeq in the Wandering Stairs tavern in the Crystarium

#

This was pointed out to you early in the Shadowbringers MSQ, where you got a system message informing that you would need to complete a role questline in order to finish the MSQ.

lime sphinx
#

can we change the weather/daytime on /gpose?
@lime sphinx

#

Cause i haven't found it and google wont answer, so i'm wondering if its a setting i missed or whatev

jade quartz
#

I don’t believe you can

lime sphinx
#

aww

hallow juniper
#

Alright, I found it, thanks a lot, the Quest System is a bit weird as a WoW player

nova umbra
#

do you guys prefer to desynthesize level 80 dungeon gear, or turn in for GC seals?

little swift
#

depends on what i needed at that time

#

if i am not in need of seals its a great way to grind desynth levels

jade quartz
#

Desynth doesn’t require me to bother going to my GC uwucarby

#

Seals are probably a superior option for money purposes though

#

Can spend them on materials to sell.

dense pier
#

Dear goodness Maria Nyan, that font choice makes it harder to read those images....

#

Okay so I'm unlocking the "facet deliveries" thing

#

Is there any way to find what needs to be delievered without going to them

#

Also, do they count as weekly deliveries or what not?

jade quartz
#

No to both

little swift
#

facet deliveries are basically your gatherer/crafter role quests

jade quartz
#

You complete the six deliveries once

#

And that’s it

#

You’ve unlocked the next quest

jade quartz
#

Not repeatable

little swift
#

here are all the turn-ins

#

and what they reward you with

dense pier
#

I see

#

Are they necessary to complete?

little swift
#

not really

#

but you can get good exp/yellow scrips

#

76mil exp for only HQ turn-ins is pretty crazy

dense pier
#

That's pretty powerful

jade quartz
#

Completing them all unlocks some indoor and outdoor lighting furniture items from scrip exchange

dense pier
#

Is that over all the quests or just a single set of turn ins?

little swift
#

its over all the turn-ins for a facet

#

5 facets

#

splitting the crafters into groups

dense pier
#

ah

little swift
#

there's also an amalgamation quest when you've completed them all

#

for a title and extra story

#

76mil x 5 is still really good

white ether
#

What does magicked prism job mastery do?

little swift
#

its just fireworks

#

cosmetic stuff

#

consumable that makes a sparkly thing appear

jade quartz
#

It’s useless, in other words

white ether
#

Yoo they got yokai minions how do I get one?

jade quartz
#

Yo-Kai Watch crossover event in the past

warped nest
#

Yokai watch event, whenever they bring it back again

jade quartz
#

Not currently available but they’ve announced it will return in future

white ether
#

I’ll keep an eye out

#

What other cross over minions are there?

jade quartz
#

There are also weapons for each job themed after the minions, and a whisper mount

little swift
#

you get the palico from monster hunter

jade quartz
#

Uh there’s a brickman minion from the ongoing Dragon Quest event in Ul’dah

little swift
#

and you can fight rathalos

#

there's the nier automata droid thingies

jade quartz
#

Palico is not time-limited, it’s a permanent part of the game now

#

Same with Nier

#

H uhh

warped nest
#

But they are collab minion nevertheless

white ether
#

Bitchen I’m a mh3u vet

jade quartz
#

In the cash shop there’s wind-up minions of past FF characters

white ether
#

Welp imma grind 30 more levels cya

jade quartz
#

faint flare
#

#

For rathalos

white ether
#

I only played 7, 13 and 15

#

little swift
#

there was the XV regalia as a 4 person mount

faint flare
#

Hopefully it returns ahahahaha

jade quartz
#

There’s wind up Cloud Tifa and Aerith on the Mogstation, as well as a mount of Cloud’s motorcycle from Advent Children

white ether
#

Is advent children cloud outfit the only one?

jade quartz
#

Yeah unfortunately

white ether
#

What level is the quest for the outfit

faint flare
#

No level

#

Just be subbed for longgl enough

#

Its a veteran reward

white ether
#

How many months?

faint flare
#

Uhhh isnt it like 2 now? Or 3

white ether
#

Cool cool thanks for the heads up

faint flare
#

You get the firion, zidane, squall and cloud outfits from veteran rewards

#

For being subbed long enough

white ether
#

Who’s firion and zidane?

white ether
#

One more thing where can i find more glamors?

faint flare
#

Everywhere...everything is glamour in the end

#

Primarily crafting, events, gear you like the look of, gold saucer

jade quartz
#

Literally any piece of gear could be a glamour

#

Unless it’s a belt

elfin edge
#

I guess that's why the sailor shirt comes with a belt heh

winged steppe
#

What materia do i need as a 80 healer

jade quartz
#

What job?

#

Generally it’s piety to comfort > Spell speed if you want to reach a certain GCD threshold > Crit > Det/DH

surreal elm
#

I just noticed on my gear list, it says "One or more items were not melded with the specific materia"

#

what does that mean

#

I check my gear, and all the materia gives the 60 stats

warped nest
#

It means that the gear you register on the gearset has changed the materia meld, so it is just letting you know about that

fervent silo
#

is there a command for macros to start other macros?

warped nest
#

No

surreal elm
#

Ah, i see now. Thanks!

"I think this is the right gear, but the meld is different last time you register this"

fervent silo
#

ok is there a command to use a specific hotbar slot?

warped nest
#

Wanna guess?

jade quartz
#

You can’t automate the game

#

Macros are intentionally very limited in capabilities

fervent silo
#

that sounds like a challenge

jade quartz
#

It’s not.

#

Do not take it as one.

fervent silo
#

too late

jade quartz
#

I’m very serious

fervent silo
#

challenge accepted

jade quartz
#

If you’re gonna troll about it take it out of this channel.

fervent silo
#

sorry sir!

#

wont happen again sir!

little swift
#

please keep shitposting to a minimum here

fervent silo
#

yes sir!

winged cobalt
#

Very much take the shitposting out of here.

leaden ginkgo
#

are custom deliveries shared between NPCs? or can I make 6 to each one?

twilit arch
#

yes, they're shared between

#

so you're going to have to pick and choose which npcs you're going to work on

leaden ginkgo
#

and is the exp acquired the same regardless of whichever NPC I deliver to?

twilit arch
#

generally, if you've got them all unlocked kai-shirr should be the priority because he gives the most

#

uuh i actually didn't pay that much attention to the exp, but generally want to do the one that within your level range

#

or whoever's got the bonus for the week

leaden ginkgo
#

I see, ty

jade quartz
#

I think apart from Kai-Shirr they’re all the same

#

Regardless of level (as long as you can do them)

vivid wolf
#

So i'm currently playing as SAM after getting bored of bard, but it seems like i'm still struggling with melee mechanics during dungeons/raids. Should i just stick with it, or should i give a caster a go?

#

currently leaning a bit towards red mage since it mixes melee and casting

stable hinge
#

does adventurer in need DPS actually exist in MSQ? roulette

vivid wolf
#

but not sure if it'll be worth it

#

not sure in MSQ, but it sometimes happens in leveling

stable hinge
#

I found bard pretty boring as well so I dropped it

twilit arch
#

AiN dps is pretty rare for most of the roulettes

stable hinge
#

I see it often enough in trials roulette

twilit arch
#

and tbh its up to you if you want to stick with sam or not.

#

there's nothing wrong with swapping between jobs until you find something you click with

vivid wolf
#

machinist or red mage are currently kind of what i'm leaning towards, but the intensive gameplay of machinist is scaring me a bit

#

seems like you'll be mashing buttons constantly

twilit arch
#

hmm

#

in my time of playing mch, the only really button mashy points were during wildfire/overheat

vivid wolf
#

the only thing i liked about bard was its 'slower' rotation

obsidian wren
#

If you enjoy sam id say keep playing it

vivid wolf
#

put up song > use arrow combo

#

that's pretty much all there was to it at lvl 50

obsidian wren
#

Bard has one of the highest actions/minute of all classes later on

vivid wolf
#

oof

#

glad i steered away from bard

#

what about monk?

twilit arch
#

if positionals are giving you issue

#

i would stay away from mnk

teal isle
#

RDM can be good fun, can rec

obsidian wren
#

Yeah, all mnks single target weaponskills are positionals

#

Rdm is very simple, so shouldn't give you too much trouble

vivid wolf
#

positionals don't really bother be, it's just that sometimes during intense battles, i tend to mispress a button, messing up my SAM combo

obsidian wren
#

And they look nice and flashy

vivid wolf
#

mostly because it's still on CD

obsidian wren
#

That's something you'll get used to with experience

twilit arch
#

yeah, thats more of getting muscle memory down than anything

vivid wolf
#

guess i'll give rdm a shot for a while and if i dont like it that much, i'll go back to sam

#

still got a lot of lvl 50 quests to do anyway

marble drift
#

Does anyone know if the Twintania RAF mount is accountwide?

obsidian wren
#

Not directly

#

But all your characters get the chocobo feathers

#

So you can buy it seperately on all of em

marble drift
#

I was about to go bannanas cause I know you can buy expensive dyes

#

but those dyes are going to be character bound

#

arnt they

twilit arch
#

ya

obsidian wren
#

Yup

twilit arch
#

its no different than buying them from mogstation

marble drift
#

right. still! Im glad I get to use Twintania on my alts

obsidian wren
#

Can also try out some of the other raf mounts to see what you'd like to buy next on your main

marble drift
#

right theres that wolf thing I saw on the Salvager

vivid wolf
#

when does dark knight unlock? lvl 70?

twilit arch
#

dark knight unlocks at lvl 50 but requires you to have gotten to the heavensward main scenario quest

vivid wolf
#

Does gnb require anything other than being lvl 60?

twilit arch
#

nope

#

the heavensward jobs (dark knight, astrologian, and machinist) are the only ones who have main scenario quest requirements

leaden ginkgo
twilit arch
#

Ramie Ribbon of X

obsidian wren
#

Gnb just requires you are lv 60 and own the shb expansion

twilit arch
#

lvl 54 craft

leaden ginkgo
#

tysm!!!

median inlet
#

How does the quest 'A dream fulfilled' work?

twilit arch
#

yes, you need to get crystal sand and umbrite to make treated crystal sand

#

which you then use to increase the stats of your anima

#

you'll need between 60-80 sand and umbrite

median inlet
#

Why do they differ?

twilit arch
#

after you've gotten 120 points, you have a chance of getting bonus procs when adding stats

median inlet
#

So do I need to upgrade the weapon fully?

twilit arch
#

so if you get the best procs, you'll only need 60 (unlikely) and if you get no procs you need 80 (also unlikely)

#

yes

#

you need to put 240 points into your anima

median inlet
#

Gotcha'

#

So I need 60 - 80 Umbrite and Sand?

twilit arch
#

yeah

#

safer to assume you'll need 80 though

median inlet
#

Perfect, do you suggest any efficient way of gaining either of these?

#

I know umbrite is via poetics

twilit arch
#

for sands, easiest way of getting them is with crafting or gathering scrips

#

if you dont have a crafter or gatherer leveled up to gather scrips, then you can do amber vilekin method which is picking up one of the combat leves in ishgard and looking for chests that spawn in the leve area

median inlet
#

Oh, gotcha'

#

Where do I pick up the levequest?

twilit arch
#

in foundation, north of the main aetheryte

median inlet
#

Fieldcraft?

simple shore
#

No

twilit arch
#

no, needs to be a combat leve

#

dance, magic dance was the one i used

median inlet
#

So you can repeat that?

obsidian patio
#

what you basically do for chest farming is this:
Start up the Leve.
Look for coffers in the green circle borders of the and open any that appear.
Abandon the Leve.
Start it back up again

#

you don't actually try to complete the leve since you don't get ambers from doing so.

median inlet
#

Ah

obsidian patio
#

From my personal experience, I don't think I've ever had a leve spawn 2 coffers at once.

#

it's only ever been one coffer or none.

mossy tartan
#

Almost level 30 arcanist and thinking of finally trying scholar. What are its strong points? as in white mage has insane burst heals and nice DPS, astro has shields and regen + party buffs, and what about scholar? I understand that it can shield well

twilit arch
#

i've had it happen

#

but its very rare

obsidian patio
#

Scholar has strong oGCD heals and good GCD shields if needed.

mossy tartan
#

Are the oGCD heals AoE or ST?

obsidian patio
#

They also have party utility with chain strategem, which is a crit rate buff for the party.

#

both.

mossy tartan
#

woah

#

Does the crit rate buff mean more LB generation rate?

obsidian patio
#

I don't think crits buff LB generation rate anymore.

mossy tartan
#

ahh

median inlet
#

Do I initiate it, try, then abandon?

twilit arch
#

ye

obsidian patio
#

Make sure to not abandon twice before starting it back up, or else you'll have to grab the Leve again in ishgard.

#

You can copy the keybind files and paste them over the other character's keybind file.

#

same thing for the UI

#

no, but the characters aren't clearly marked in the files so you'll have to be sure you're copying from the right ones.

jade quartz
#

No, just copy and paste files

#

If you’re worried you can use the settings backup function from the character select screen ingame

obsidian patio
#

to easily tell which character is which, do something simple on the character you want to copy the files from, like editing a gearset or changing a keybind, as that will update the modify date

median inlet
#

Will there always be a coffer?

jade quartz
#

To save a copy of your desired settings

twilit arch
#

no, its a chance for a coffer to appear

jade quartz
#

No @median inlet

obsidian patio
#

this is about Hud but it applies to everything else in the folder that hud layout sits in

#

which would include keybinds

tidal yarrow
#

my retainers sell only while I'm online?

obsidian patio
#

they can sell while you're offline

hardy abyss
#

reached 80, got gear. what's the general purpose materia you throw in to tank(drk) gear? not overmelding, just filling slots

median inlet
#

Are the leve coffers randomly placed?

obsidian patio
#

but if you don't open their menu up for over 2 weeks their items don't become visible to other players on the marketboard

tidal yarrow
#

because when I play I see a lot of sold stuff going on but when I log in the next morning I never see a notify like "you sold x, y, etc"

obsidian patio
#

@median inlet to a degree. After a while I noticed that there were semi-loose spawn points

#

but they will always spawn within the green circles of the leve

median inlet
#

Wait, I can only do the abandon method 3 times?

jade quartz
#

No, you can do it until you’re out of leve allowances

#

And if you haven’t been doing leves recently then you ought to have 100 allowances.

median inlet
#

So I have 100 attempts to get 80 coffers

obsidian patio
#

@hardy abyss
Skill Speed to desired/preferred GCD > Crit > DH > Det

jade quartz
#

You’re unlikely to get 80 from this method

obsidian patio
#

DRK usually prefers a GCD between 2.43 and 2.38

jade quartz
#

But it will give you a good big chunk of it

obsidian patio
#

Yeah my average odds from 100 leves was about 20-25 ambers

median inlet
#

Gotcha'

obsidian patio
#

so like 20-25% chance

median inlet
#

Do the coffers only spawn in the green circles?

twilit arch
#

yes

#

they will not spawn outside of the leve's area

hardy abyss
#

ty dude

median inlet
#

I've done 6 already and not got a coffer lmao

jade quartz
#

Rng will be rng

median inlet
#

How much easier is the crafting method

obsidian patio
#

It's super easy once you have it unlocked

#

Grinding extreme primals is an option too if you have a combat class above level 70.

#

the materials for them are usually very cheap, so you just kill the ones with the more expensive drops,

median inlet
#

Which materials?

obsidian patio
#

Inferno Horn (Ifrit Extreme), Crag Heart (Titan Extreme), and Diamond Tear (Shiva Extreme) for one turn in

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey guys im having trouble starting the level 70 alliance raid quest, "A city fallen" where do i start it? i tried googling

obsidian patio
#

Vortex Feather (Garuda Extreme), Barb of the Whorl (Leviathan Extreme), and Large Levin Orb (Ramuh Extreme) for the other.

#

@leaden ginkgo The quest is on the Prima Vista. You can access it by talking to an NPC at the Kugane Airship landing which is also accessed from an NPC at x10, y12.

leaden ginkgo
#

Sorry wyne but its all just very confusing. WHere do i even find this place on the map?

#

Wait i may have found it my man

#

Kugane right?

leaden ginkgo
#

@obsidian patio I cant do anything at the airship landing :/

obsidian patio
#

There's no NPC to talk to for getting on the prima vista?

#

Try exiting back out and look for Lina Mewrilah near x10 y12 on the map.

#

they might be the NPC you need to talk to.

leaden ginkgo
#

I dont see a lina anywhere near

obsidian patio
#

no NPC directly to your right in the 2nd picture?

leaden ginkgo
#

Only the lift guard :c

#

Alright i think i found it out

simple remnant
#

if im lvl 50 can i buy the ARR skip and go straight to heavensward?

obsidian patio
#

yes.

acoustic island
#

is act not working? my encounters aren't being updated

simple shore
#

Probably a bad idea unless you've already done it once before

obsidian patio
#

but if you want story context on the start of heavensward I recommend going to your inn room and use the "Unending Journey" to rewatch the cutscenes from the quest "The Parting Glass"

simple shore
#

Skipping the post ARR story is going to make many things after it make no sense.

leaden ginkgo
#

aslong as you dont tell anyone that you skipped the story

#

XD

simple remnant
#

ok ty guys

leaden ginkgo
#

People get angy for it, i dont have personal experience but i have seen that from the side

simple remnant
#

i could care less about what people think tbh

leaden ginkgo
#

good

#

then you are good to go

simple remnant
#

i like doing end game pve content

#

dont care about story

leaden ginkgo
#

Those people are the kind of people that stands and roleplays in the big cities, dont worry about them

wintry chasm
#

i like doing end game pve content
Why skip to Heavensward and not Shadowbringers?

simple remnant
#

becuase i want to do all the dugeons and raids and stuff at least ones

#

once

#

im still learning the game

wintry chasm
#

By that logic you'll be missing the post ARR dungeons and stuff.

#

I don't see the difference between skipping to HW and doing the fights you missed and going to ShB and doing the fights you missed

#

Especially when it gets you to endgame faster which is what you clearly want

simple remnant
#

because i have like 150 quests left in ARR that i dont want to do but i dont mind doing the HW and up storylines

wintry chasm
#

🤔

#

I'm not sure that makes sense but you do you

leaden ginkgo
#

likeee

obsidian patio
#

If you haven't completed the base story yet I suggest doing that at a minimum for the free fantasia

#

because story skip won't give that.

wintry chasm
#

Also it's about 100 patch quests not 150

leaden ginkgo
#

hmm

simple remnant
#

but if i buy the arr skip thats 100 quests i dont have to do right?

#

i just want to do heavensward and up

wintry chasm
#

But there isn't really a reason to do HW and up when you openly admitted you don't care about story and you'll be missing on important plot by skipping to it

#

You'd just be spending ages doing a story that doesn't make complete sense

simple remnant
#

so youre saying i should just buy a boost to 70?

wintry chasm
#

I don't why you wouldn't given you said you don't care about story

#

You're just wasting time starting at HW

#

Yes

simple remnant
#

i understand that

#

but arent there boss fights and stuff you can only do if you level through HW and the other xpac

wintry chasm
#

No

simple remnant
#

like if i skip to 70 i wont get to do those

#

i dont want to miss out on those raids

wintry chasm
#

There are not

#

If you mean the solo instances in the story that's not really a "raid" and aren't really hard and you have New Game + for that anyway

simple remnant
#

i guess im just really not understanding the structure of pve content

leaden ginkgo
#

oohm

#

soo basically

wintry chasm
#

Optional unlocks after finishing base story for an expansion @simple remnant

twilit arch
#

any of instance content you would do while leveling is automatically unlocked for you with the msq skip

leaden ginkgo
#

if you just queue up for lvl 60 raid as lvl 80 without unsyncing the fight, you will be together there downscaled as lvl 60

twilit arch
#

and you can just queue up for them

leaden ginkgo
#

with other people who also are downscaled on lvl 60

#

If that is what you meant

simple remnant
#

oh wtf

#

wait thats perfect

#

i was thinking if im lvl 70 or 80 i cant do the lower level raids

leaden ginkgo
#

nope, you can do them

#

^^

wintry chasm
#

You CAN also tick a box to allow you to fight a boss unsynced at whatever gear and job level you are

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah, but then you have to invite people to do the fight with you, or do it alone if you are strong enough to do that

wintry chasm
#

Mmm

leaden ginkgo
#

If you do it with your own level gear and stuff ( if above )

simple remnant
#

so just to clarify

#

if i buy a boost

#

im pretty much only missing out on story

#

because i can do the previous expansions pve content anyways

obsidian patio
#

story boost, yeah.

simple remnant
#

im talking job level 70 boost

obsidian patio
#

job boost does not skip story.

#

they're separate things

simple remnant
#

will it start me at shadowbringers content though

#

or will i have to do the entire story but with a lvl 70 character

obsidian patio
#

you'd also need a stormblood story skip to start at shadowbringers.

simple remnant
#

hmm ok

#

ty guys

#

as a new player these things all seem very poorly clarified

leaden ginkgo
#

ohm yeah, but once you get the idea it becomes much more clear

obsidian patio
#

the site for job/story boosts lays out what you get from them in a pretty detailed manner.

frank chasm
#

Can Odin miniatures be trades ar all?

slate arrow
#

"yes" if unconventionally

#

You can give them to other people by using the tenant system

frank chasm
#

How about FC chest?

obsidian patio
#

yeah it can go in there

frank chasm
#

And someone else can grab it and use it in like their private apartment?

obsidian patio
#

yep.

frank chasm
#

Ok, awesome. Thanks

tidal yarrow

Feel free to post it here, so anyone who knows can help.

Getting errors

have you already tried updating your internet explorer?

barren flax
obsidian patio
#

The Resistance Relic Weapon is pretty equal to the unupgraded crystarium weapon for a majority of jobs if you want to go for that.

barren flax
#

so im better off just getting armor from it then?

obsidian patio
#

it's easy to get. Only need to complete the stormblood 24-man alliance raid story and then do a quest for an i485 weapon with 5 open slots.

barren flax
#

because i already have the resistance weapon

obsidian patio
#

pretty much, yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

Its updated @obsidian patio

obsidian patio
#

Make sure the FFXIV Folder in your "Document/My Games/FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn" isnt set to [Read Only] in its properties.
Tried this too?

#

My expertise on PC-exclusive errors relies entirely on googling stuff since I'm a PS4 player. :\

leaden ginkgo
#

Tired that too

#

Yeah, I'm ps4 originally but switching to pc

barren flax
#

i assume with nier raid 2 coming out next month, upgrading crystarium would be a lot easier?

lament citrus
#

Kinda but time wise no

barren flax
#

how comes?

lament citrus
#

Since coin will drop once a week til patch 5.4

barren flax
#

one coin = one piece i assume?

lament citrus

Yup

how would the weapons be upgraded? 1 coin as well?

@obsidian patio how do I tell, I got it from the shadowbringer box from game shop

lament citrus
#

@vivid wolf whatever u makes u more comfortable with

obsidian patio

then it's not a steam code

lament citrus
#

Rip

obsidian patio

you need a code bought from the steam store to use for your account

slate prawn

omg sad

obsidian patio

either that or you bought a used key.

lament citrus

heady thorn
#

I am curious

#

what used to be the difference

between them

obsidian patio

Eos had more healing-focused abilities, while Selene had more utility-focused stuff

Eos more healing and selene more support

ohh okay

So if i want to do a low lvl dungeon with 3 of my friends, but 2 of them are tank classes, is there someway we can do a dungeon togheter?

obsidian patio
#

if you're a full party of 4, you can freely queue into dungeons as any combination of classes.

#

since you're technically a complete party and don't need to actually queue up

leaden ginkgo
#

Great

#

is pugulist a starting class?

obsidian patio
#

yes

Hi where can I buy more gear for tomestones? Except Idylshire. I need it for lvl 70

obsidian patio
#

level 70 tomestone gear is bought in rhalgr's reach directly north of the aetheryte

ruby solstice
#

thanks

faint flare

Need to complete base Stormblood story through

#

For the vendors to appear

ruby solstice

I'll check it

How restricted am I playing with someone if they are in the same data center as me but not the same world

simple shore
#

Almost not at all

vivid wolf
#

Not really restricted at all

simple shore
#

The only restriction is you cant be in the same FC as them or make them a tenant of your house.

obsidian patio
#

can't be in the same free company (player guild), and that's pretty much it.

simple shore
#

Thats about it

tropic summit
#

One of you will also just have to pop back into your home world to access stuff like Retainers

gloomy mortar
#

What does it mean for a FC’s standing amongst GCs? For example, my FC is neutral for 2 GCs and Allied to the 3rd

fresh lodge
#

It means basically nothing

barren flax
#

is there a rough formula for how much 1 physical dmg to dex is for Nin?

sacred glacier
#

whats the penalty count

faint flare
#

When you withdraw or fail to ready up when duty finder pops, it increases

#

When you get to many penalties, you get locked out of duty finder for awhile

sacred glacier
#

ok

gloomy mortar
#

How do you Glamour boots to look like you’re not wearing any boots?

oak ice
#

Get the item called "Emperor's new shoes"

#

hi!, im about to put up a party finder to clear some old stuff... how many people do you think it takes (and at what level) to clear lv 50 content?

#

unsynced

wintry chasm
#

Well however many people depends on their level

#

If they are like, 70 or 80 you can do it solo

lavish vortex
#

im hoping they will be lvl 800

#

80

wintry chasm
#

If they are 60 probably only need a few for the harder ones

lavish vortex
#

I’m lvl 66, trues solo and failed haha

wintry chasm
#

Yeah...when you get to 70 it'd be possible depending on the job and fight

lavish vortex
#

Thanks!

This might be a weird question but I have been worried that FFXIV is going to end soon

#

Which would suck because I only got into the game around a year ago

alpine shadow
#

Doubting it would end soon, since the popularity of the game has spiked

polar haven
#

plus MMORPGs are time consuming to develop

slate arrow
#

Don't be too worried

oak ice
#

They have stuff planned after the current arc ends

polar haven
#

FFXIV is up to par with other modern MMORPGs

slate arrow
#

We're just in a period of halted development due to COVID

alpine shadow
#

it is just 2 weeks until live letter

slate arrow
#

Live update titles get it bad since their schedules get knocked all sorts of around

bitter plaza
#

there is at least one more story arc they're planning

alpine shadow
#

nvm, one week til live letter

median locust
#

It's not ending anytime soon for certain.

bitter plaza
#

if that one is as long as this one, it's going to be another decade before FFXIV ends

wintry chasm
#

I can easily think of 3 more expansions left

alpine shadow
#

ffxiv ends when you end your sub

wintry chasm
#

And what the plot could entail

alpine shadow
#

ffxiv versus ff(x)

slate arrow
#

versus FFXIV

rich bay
#

WoW already has 8 expansions, i do think FF14 will follow that. But that is 2026 at least, so that takes a long while.

open coral
#

iirc, YoshiP straight up said in the last Live Letter that, while the current Hydaelyn vs. Zodiark/Ascian storyline will be ending with this expansion, there's still more story to tell.

#

So the game is far from over.

fringe peak
#

anyone know if you can preview your hud before saving?

forest laurel
#

wait really? I thought they had planned out the entire arc, not the full story

vagrant copper
timid falcon
#

my client has crashed 3 times in the past 5 mins, happening to anyoine else?

median locust
#

Gearset uses gearset numbers, not names

#

so it would be /gs change 14

#

or something

vagrant copper
#

All my other macros use names and they work just fine

#

Just not the fisher one

simple shore
#

The answer that Fissie gave is correct.

median locust
#

It still says "Fishier is not a valid gearset number" in your chat

simple shore
#

Every one of my gear change macros is like this :

/micon "Monk" classjob
/gearset change 30
/hotbar display 6

#

and every one of them works

vagrant copper
#

So there's a bug with referring to gearsets by name? It's not that you can't it's that you shouldn't because it breaks?

simple shore
#

idk, just do it the correct way

vagrant copper
#

The game says that way is correct -_-

#

And it works with 15/16 of my other macros

median locust
#

what if you remove the "s

vagrant copper
#

Nope

median locust
#

can you screenshot one of your other macros that uses the name and works?

vagrant copper
obsidian patio
#

What is the name of your fisher gearset?

polar haven
#

do POTD queue times get any better at higher floors? they're anywhere from 20-50 minutes right now

vagrant copper
obsidian patio
#

You may need to rename it to “Fisher” for the macro to work

simple shore
#

or....you could just switch to numbers and not have to deal with the BS

median locust
#

^

obsidian patio
#

@polar haven not particularly, unfortunately. Most people only do floors 1-10 and 51-60 for convenience since they’re the floors you can start on

median locust
#

also why the <wait.1> at the end if it's the last command?

vagrant copper
#

Because there used to be more

polar haven
#

so is repeating 1-10 better than going through each set?

vagrant copper
#

And some other macros do have more

median locust
#

alright

#

@polar haven Go through 1-50 once then spam 51-60. Queue times will suck but you'll only have to get through these floors once

#

You'll be able to start at 51-60 everytime once you get there

polar haven
#

alright thanks, just levelling my second class to 50 because I got bored of levelling paladin, and it's taking a bit longer than expected lul

vagrant copper
#

... what. Okay, reassigning fisher to slots 1 or 2 works...? WTF. So yeah, some bug with how the game searches through the gearset list and looks for names.

#

Numbers it is then

#

That's gonna be annoying

simple shore
#

Why would it be annoying. You set it up once and never touch it again.

vagrant copper
#

That's still annoying

simple shore
#

I havent touched my gearset macros in years

timid falcon
#

is there a client patcher to restore/check files??

#

client keeps crashing

leaden ginkgo
#

Can you only be 3 in a party? how do you join a 4 man duty then?

simple shore
#

No

vagrant copper
#

@timid falcon Doesn't appear to be

leaden ginkgo
#

I just cant seem to get my 4'th friends in our party at all

vagrant copper
#

Are they in the same data center?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah we are all in chaos - moogle

#

How are you trying to invite them?

oblique bane
#

Can you solo palace on classes that aren't healers? I only ever hear people say they've done it on healers.

simple shore
#

Yes

green grail
#

yeah most jobs made it to 170-190ish but only rdm and blm got solo to 200 afaik

vagrant copper
#

I've heard that everything except AST has got up to 200 solo but 🤷‍♂️

median locust
#

It's harder on healer than any other job actually lol

oak ice
#

I heard only PLD and RDM soloed it

twilit arch
#

only AST doesn't have a floor 200 clear

oak ice
#

Oh

twilit arch
#

every other job has a 200 clear

oblique bane
#

I was wanting to try it on WAR

median locust
#

This is because you have a 60 minute timer and healers have garbage solo DPS

#

so they can't beat the timer without good RNG

vagrant copper
#

War would probably be somewhat easy given the damage reduction and the fact they can put out some decent DPS. Though they'd probably be better at HOH than POTD

shop selling price is how much you can buy it from a vendor

#

it says "unsellable" at the bottom, which means it cant be sold to a vendor

rich bay
#

It also says (Restricted) next to the NPC sale price, that means you can only buy one of the item. Once you bought it, you can't buy it ever again with same character.

median locust
#

No, Restricted means you'll have to unlock the item at said vendor, or unlock said vendor, to buy the item

faint flare
#

No

median locust
#

That one happens to be a mount so it makes sense that you can't buy more than one, but some crafting mats can only be bought from beast tribe vendors and those do say restricted

patent cave
#

for me it just went straight into doing the fates

#

am i doing something wrong

faint flare
#

Fates is the first step

median locust
#

It just lists the items needed for the first 2 steps which are one single "stage" before starting the actual steps off

#

Starting off your Anima weapon journey, the first task (aside from teleporting to various places and talking to NPCs) comes from Syndony. She will give you the Astral and Umbral Nodules Ardashir requires to forge your Animated weapon if you fulfill one of her requests.

#

These are the fates

patent cave
#

i was looking at 1. "Feel my pain! Come, Anima!"... wait, wrong game - The Anima Weapon

median locust
#

Yes, this is under that

#

Right after the big list of items

#

Definitely confused me at first too, while reading it

#

But you're fine, Fates are supposed to be the first step

tidal yarrow
#

isn't there a way to disable "fighting" music?

#

like some dungeons have very nice osts but then when some enemies appear it gets swapped by the same annoying music

vagrant copper
#

System Configuration > Sound Settings > Uncheck "Enable normal battle music"

Hey, if I start an alliance roulette now, and finish it after reset, does it give me the new rewards? Or will I have to do it again cause I already finished today's roulette ?

median locust
#

It checks if there's a bonus when you clear

#

So yeah, you can queue now, clear after reset and get the new day's bonus

rich flume
#

Alright, thanks very much

stable hinge
#

If i start msq roulette before reset and reset happens during the run do I get the rewards from the previous day or does it take todays reward

Lmao my bad

All good, happens lol

guys i got a question about DoT scaling with self buffs, which of these is the case:

  1. i apply a DoT unbuffed, then activate my self buff and the already applied DoT becomes stronger as well for the duration

  2. i self buff, apply the DoT (its now stronger) and remains to tick for the same damage value even when my self buff runs out

  3. DoT damage is unaffected by self buffs

twilit arch
#

2

ocean pilot
#

ah nice so i always should self buff before applying a dot

median locust
#

DoTs check for buffs when it's applied, then every tick is buffed for the entire duration of the DoT

#

even if the buff fell off

ocean pilot
#

yea it was the same in revelation online, couldnt find info on it online and too lazy to test it myself rn

agile laurel
#

Does Chaotic Cyclone beat out fell cleave single target? I know it's 190 pot less, but it's also a guaranteed crit DH...

#

sort of a non-question but just for the 72-80 grind

ocean pilot
#

depends on ur crit rate tbh

faint flare
#

If the fell cleave doesn't crit/direct hit/do both yes

agile laurel
#

yeah but assuming fell cleave isn't gonna crit

faint flare
#

Chaotic is the more reliable damage

agile laurel
#

like, we're outta inner release

#

so it's just nascent chaos

#

eh my leveling gear has dire crit so probably not worth relying on then

ocean pilot
#

u can just do some quick mafs on it

agile laurel
#

ta

ocean pilot
#

chaotic cyclone is 68% of the potency of fell cleave

vivid wolf
#

Is there like some sort of end-game hub, or do people just go back to limsa/gridania/uldah?

ocean pilot
#

how much is the crit multiplier? is it x2?

agile laurel
#

eulmore.

vivid wolf
#

seems like there are quite a lot of high leveled players around limsa

agile laurel
#

or crystarium, but mostly eulmore

faint flare
#

Crit multipler goes up based on crit

ocean pilot
#

ohhh

agile laurel
#

Limsa is the general 'i have not much else better to do' afk place, or the socialising hub

#

no offence

#

So there will be population there on most worlds

ocean pilot
#

is there some kinda softcap? as i did research it appeared that crit is softcapped at around 2.5k

vivid wolf
#

explains the gazillion bards using performance

faint flare
#

Eehhh not really

#

Most bis es typically go up to like 3-4k crit
