wintry chasm
#

I see

quasi spire
#

btw for secondary jobs, how often should i upgrade equipment between 1-50?

agile laurel
#

as frequently as possible if you're doing dungeons, probably around every 5 or 6

strange coral
#

Personally I do every 5 for healer and tank, and worry a little less for dps, 10 at most

oblique bane
#

how time consuming is it to get a zodiac weapon?

obsidian patio
#

Animus books feel like they can take forever, so maybe 1 week for the whole thing depending on how active you are

#

Maybe 2

lime sphinx
#

why cant i reply to people's whispers ?

#

2 people cross world i cant dm back

vagrant copper
#

If you're trying to use /tell, maybe just use /reply for easiness

lime sphinx
#

hmm kk seems to have worked, but even with right click > tell didnt work

halcyon glen
#

Are you on a free trial by any chance?

faint flare
#

Right click tell is funky with crossworld tells at time

#

It has been since they added that

lime sphinx
#

nope not on a free

craggy scarab
#

i'm trying to buy something on the mog station and it says my zip/postal code is invalid, what do i do?

#

fixed it for some reason they want the post code without spaces even though that's not how post codes are witten

#

:p

tardy hollow
#

is it possible to solo the second coil of bahamut unsynced?

#

keep getting instakilled and idk why

spare plinth
#

How hard is the summoner class?

fresh lodge
#

Not at all really

#

Once you understand it, its fairly simple

vagrant copper
#

@tardy hollow Which turn?

little swift
#

T9 can be a bit tuff

agile laurel
#

summoner has a reasonably low skill floor

#

and a lot of play-around for optimisation

remote lintel
#

understanding it is the hard part

latent bloom
#

So 3 houses all of a sudden appeared open on the same day. Did you do some kind of stealth patch to return the housing timer?

obsidian patio
#

Account may have been permabanned

#

Can’t remember if that immediately removes the plot from the owner

hallow marsh
#

my launcher is stuck on just the logo, how do I fix that?

#

thats what that looks like

#

I can click stuff, but I have no idea what i'm clicking

grim adder
#

Should I be using flourish on CD? o-o

gloomy mortar
#

Can you enter a code into the mogstation for an item while online and get it to your character instantly? Or do you have to log off and on?

midnight slate
#

Yes

#

Flourish gives you all your procs so you wanna use it on cooldown
Make sure you use existing procs so you don’t waste them

grim adder
#

oo ok

obsidian patio
#

To easily make sure you don’t have procs when it’s ready, use them right when you get them

#

At worst you’ll only need to delay by one GCD if you have one proc

gloomy mortar
#

I entered a code for an item, the mogstation said it was successfully redeemed, and I can’t find it.

tidal yarrow
#

do beast tribe dailies reset same time as roulettes?

obsidian patio
#

@gloomy mortar logging out generally isn’t needed. Character-specific items usually arrive in minutes, but account-wide items can take an hour or more.

#

See if your moogle mail needs to be emptied

#

@tidal yarrow yes

midnight slate
#

What does an attack mean when it’s “unaspected”

obsidian patio
#

Magic damage

#

The element only matters for black mage due to their fire/ice stance mechanics

agile laurel
#

plus element used to matter a bit more than it does now, kinda

#

Yeah. blm tools often specify 'Fire spell'

#

or vice versa

gloomy mortar
#

@obsidian patio Where does the item show up? The mogmail, directly into inventory, etc?

obsidian patio
#

Mogmail

cloud lake
#

Is there a way for squadron command people in the grandcompany to promote to thier job? They're at 33 and they're still a conj, archer ect

obsidian patio
#

Nope, they can only be the base classes

cloud lake
#

r i p

midnight slate
#

So it doesn’t matter what enemy it’s elemental weakness is
Unaspected Will just be neutral across the board
And it doesn’t even matter because they got rid of elemental resistances

hallow marsh
#

anyone have any tips in making my launcher work or am I just deleting and getting a new launcher?

obsidian patio
#

Yeah elemental resistance isn’t a thing

#

A fire sprite will take the same damage from a fire spell as an ice sprite

vagrant copper
#

@hallow marsh Given that no one has responded, you're probably looking at a reinstall

hallow marsh
#

cool, good to know

leaden ginkgo
#

hm does morbol minion sell?

obsidian patio
#

Check the sale history of it on the marketboard if you’re looking at it from there

#

But if not it’s usually dirt-cheap

hallow marsh
#

did an install of the launcher, still getting just the logo

#

going to try again from the setup instead

vagrant copper
#

Might want to get queued up for live chat support. They're open for another couple hours

quasi spire
#

Can I ask a story related question here?

vagrant copper
#

Sure. If it's spoilery, use spoiler tags

quasi spire
#

||The False Griffin said we helped treat him back in Quarrymill. I forget who this character is - who is he?||

faint flare
#

It will be revealed later

quasi spire
#

Spoilers patch 3.4

faint flare
#

Keep going

quasi spire
#

Alright. One more question - how many zones and cities does Stormblood have?

faint flare
#

Same as heavensward, 6 zones...a city and "endgame hub" area

#

Aka its Idyllshire equilivant

quasi spire
#

And Shadowbringers?

faint flare
#

The same

#

Expansions follow the same formula for content

quasi spire
#

Thanks. Lastly - where can I see currently ongoing limited-time events?

vagrant copper
#

You'll get chat messages when you log in. You can also check the lodestone

#

!faq lodestone

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

No tag named lodestone exists, Kupo!

vagrant copper
strong sphinx
#

Is it normal that they change classes with each patch, even with 5.3?

#

or do the classes stay the same from expansion to expansion?

bronze sorrel
#

generally jobs stay the same within expansions

vagrant copper
#

If classes have problems, they'll change them at any time

#

Though, yeah, most big ones will be expansions

bronze sorrel
#

there have only been a few cases of mid expansion revamps

#

like 4.2 war

#

and actually thats the only one that comes to mind

strong sphinx
#

I see, i was wondering if there moght be moments when they change a job so drastically that you have to change rotations and such

civic forum
#

Is it worth crafting say craft specific gear? lvl 51 weaver, crafted 3 weaver pieces, but I feel like im gonna out level them fast lol

bronze sorrel
#

yea that happened in patch 4.2 for warrior, but they made it overall easier

strong sphinx
#

Ok gotcha

bronze sorrel
#

@civic forum if nothing else its worth crafting at least once for the sick first time craft exp

mental garnet
#

anyone know which msq i need to finish before i can buy allegory tome gear?

remote lintel
#

shadowbringers

civic forum
#

Hmm, thats true, plus weaver 50 gear looks fancy af

acoustic island
#

is desynthesis only for lvl 30 and above?

#

one of the class im raising cant desynthesize

obsidian patio
#

Yes.

#

But you just need level 30, higher isn’t needed.

lime geode
#

If I'm in a cutscene and the duty finder pops, but I'm the wrong class, can I accept and then change?

#

*job

vagrant copper
#

Nope

stray dawn
vagrant copper
#

Nope. Need to do the quests too

lime geode
#

The top diamonds are quests.

#

Bottom are the green spheres you find.

feral thistle
#

Is it possible to have two eden rings on the same class?

stray dawn
#

I see. almost there +_+

agile laurel
#

@quasi spire that isn't a spoiler for content you've yet to do - ||the False Griffin mentions the time you helped the ala mhigans in quarrymill get medicine because the gridanians wouldn't help them, and you needed a vouch to talk to the folks at Little Ala Mhigo||

gloomy mortar
#

You need to change class, then accept

lime geode
#

But what happens if I'm in a cut scene?

vagrant copper
#

Then you either end the cutscene, change, and accept, or you timeout and withdraw

gloomy mortar
#

You can skip the cutscene and watch it later, hope it ends in time, or just take the penalty

lime geode
#

Even if I queue as say healer but I'm not a healer any more?

gloomy mortar
#

Yeah

lime geode
#

So if I accept during the cutscene you potentially have no healer in the party? That sounds wrong.

#

Or will it end the cutscene and let me change?

vagrant copper
#

You can not accept if you're the wrong class

lime geode
#

got it

#

I thought you could still hit accept.

strong sphinx
#

So I bought a booster for Summoner, and I heard that Sch and Smn share level, but I havent unlocked SCH yet, will they both be at 70 when I unlock SCH?

bronze sorrel
#

yes

#

but you need to do the sch quests

strong sphinx
#

jesus thats insanr

bronze sorrel
#

to unlock skills

strong sphinx
#

aahh okay! makes sense

#

Sounds really good, that means once i have the job quests done, i can skip dps queues and level smn by going roulettes with sch?

civic forum
#

yes

bronze sorrel
#

yep

shrewd owl
#

just make sure u get proper healer gear too :p

strong sphinx
#

Damn thats good

#

Oh yeah right that as well haha

agile laurel
#

and also make sure you can y'know, play both :p

remote lintel
#

you'll still have to learn how to be a healer

agile laurel
#

yeah, everybody dreads someone who leveled only summoner to like 70 then decided to try scholar out in a level 70 dungeon

remote lintel
#

I'm the other way around haha

delicate stone
#

Yeah, don't be lazy and not learn your healer if you intend to queue up w/ it; healer's are pretty important to making sure clears go smoothly!

#

That and you'll need to keep 2 classes of gear up to date

#

It's not that hard to do that though, just something to keep in mind

leaden ginkgo
#

I want to buy Adept Thighboots

#

But I cant find the merchant for those

vagrant copper
#

Pretty much any scrip exchange is gonna have those

leaden ginkgo
#

The one in The Firmament doesnt sell them, the one in Mor Dhona doesnt, and the scrip exchanges tell me something about house rules

vagrant copper
#

!faq scripunlock

zinc orbitBOT
strange coral
#

You need a crafter leveled high enough to unlock the scrip exchanges. Or buy them from HW moogle tribe (also requires crafter)

civic forum
#

Is moogle the only crafting tribe?

vagrant copper
#

Moogle, Ixal, and Namazu IIRC

little swift
#

and soon to be dwarves

civic forum
#

Over 50?

#

Moogle and Namazu

#

sweet

twilit arch
#

moogle 50-60, namazu 60-70, dwarves are going to be 70-80

civic forum
#

damn, thats nice

Do I have to be lvl 50 DoH DoL to buy stuff with yellow scrips?

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
#

@leaden ginkgo yes

spare plinth
#

So it’s good for level 50

obsidian patio
#

It’s the best gear you can get at 50 when upgraded.

#

Same with Shire at 60 and Scaevan at 70.

mental garnet
#

any real difference between doing kholusia or amh araeng first for the msq?

open coral
#

Nope

mental garnet
#

mmk

open coral
#

The game assumes that you'll do Kholusia first though. There's a few lines of dialogue in Amh Araeng that speak to that.

remote lintel
#

what attacks go thru the raise invuln

obsidian patio
#

Pretty much only ultimate/enrage attacks, or ones that purposefully one-shot you due to %hp damage

remote lintel
#

I mean stuff like knock back

#

I didn't realize it would still knock me back :(

obsidian patio
#

Oh yeah those, I think pretty much all move effects go through it? I can’t immediately name any that don’t.

simple shore
#

@open coral i dont remember anything like that. Did Amh Araeng first.

obsidian patio
#

Same. Might just be slight dialogue changes based on who you helped first

#

For both sides

open coral
#

I always do Amh Araeng first also. There's like two lines of dialogue buried in there that reference you having spoken to Alphinaud already

simple shore
#

I feel like i'd remember something that messy.

open coral
#

It's literally like, two throwaway sentences

void fossil
#

Is there any up to date info on what to do for a fresh level 80 as far as gearing goes?

dense pier
#

I know there is mouseover but is there a command that selects your mouseover as target?

strange coral
#

I did amh araeng first and I don't remember that. I vaguely recall there being a mention that I hadn't seen him yet

simple shore
#

Yeah i distinctly remember dialogue that confirmed that i hadn't talked to him, not the other way around

open coral
#

Mmm, I can't go through it right now because I'm in the middle of something else, but I'll go back and see if I can find the lines I'm thinking of later.

vagrant copper
#

@dense pier You could try /target <mo> ...?

robust crow
#

can you only save 5 total marker sets

dense pier
#

/target isn't a command tho

#

nvm

#

It is

#

Wow

vagrant copper
dense pier
#

interesting

#

So a solution to the god awful pvp clicking

lavish vortex
#

Where can I find the moogles that sell maps to go faster with mounts?

dense pier
#

is having a /target <mo> macro

#

lol

#

mouseover is very accurate, clicking in this game is atrocious

fresh lodge
#

In any of the starting cities

vagrant copper
#

@robust crow Yes, you can only save 5 sets of waymarks

rocky tree
#

Do I understand the wiki correctly that I need to be lvl 50 to unlock GC hunts?

twilit arch
#

do you mean The Hunt or the hunting log

#

because those are two different things

rocky tree
#

the hunts them selves, you have the log from the beginning right

molten spruce
#

how do i get the red glowing weapons in potd?

rocky tree
#

the thing that you take from the GC board

#

it tells me I am not authorised

open coral
#

GC hunts you need a certain ranking with your GC, iirc

twilit arch
#

The huntbill board yes, requires you to be lv 50 and 2nd LT in your grand company tounnlock

vagrant copper
#

@molten spruce Get lots of power ups in POTD. I think red starts at like +60 or something

molten spruce
#

ahhhh

twilit arch
#

@molten spruce inside potd it requires you to be a certain aetherpool level. I think its around 50 or 60 aetherpool. Outside of potd, you need to get the padjal weapon first (which require 3 aethergrips)

#

once you have the padjal weapon you can exchange for the kinna (which requires 6 grips)

nimble vapor
#

hey, so where can I get my first mount?

open coral
#

!faq mounts

zinc orbitBOT
#
Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

nimble vapor
#

thank you very much!

whole lagoon
#

Guys have anyone bought game time cards from third-party sites

warm veldt
#

Is there generally a best thing that you should train your chocobo in? Or all they all pretty equal/based on what you want

open coral
#

Just always have your choco out when you're questing and killing things

molten spruce
#

so im grabbing aetherpool chests but my strength remains unchanged why??

open coral
#

You can ultimately train it in all three by overcapping using Thavnairian Onions to raise the rank cap after 10.

simple shore
#

@warm veldt if you're talking about how to spend your points - its generally best to do two trees at once, since the cost per ability goes up by one each time. Having 7 abilities from two trees is better than 8 from one.

warm veldt
#

Gotcha! Thanks

open coral
#

Typically people will recommend speccing to the healing tree first

strange coral
#

Healing and damage. Chocobo doesn't work well as a tank because it's horrible at holding aggro. But later on it's worth it to put some points in to the tank tree for the attack increases and such.

last brook
#

I am on Mateus server. Can I go to a house on Marlboro server? How do I do that?

twilit arch
#

no

#

housing is server based, so you can only buy a house/apartment on your homeworld

remote lintel
#

if you mean house visiting yes

last brook
#

House visiting?

remote lintel
#

go to one of the main cities and click the big aetheryte and click world visit

#

yes you can visit other worlds

#

you can visit someone's house on marlboro but you can't buy one on marlboro

last brook
#

Oooh wow! I see that option every day and I've never thought to click on it.

faint flare
#

@molten spruce upgrading aetherpool is rng. When you're aetherpool is synced (aka the name is yellow), the chance drops dramatically so you need to go to higher floors

marble drift
#

when backing up UI settings from 1 machine to another. What is copied and what is not

open heart
#

how to check if you're getting the exp bonus from a boosted server? I just transfered from a regular server to a "boosted' one and I wanted to make sure I didn't spent money for nothing

vagrant copper
#

You don't get that for transfers sad

faint flare
#

^

#

If you have the xp bonus, you have a buff called Road to 70

#

Its a orange and yellow buff

slate arrow
#

yeah you more or less spent the money for no reason

#

Only way to get server bonuses is from congested to preferred

Or

Any to New

mental garnet
#

will my ping to every world on a single datacenter be the same?

faint flare
#

Yes

mental garnet
#

cool

open heart
#

But tecnically I went from congested to preferred, behemoth is congested, but a payment was still required

slate arrow
#

Behemoth to where

open heart
#

Famfrit

vagrant copper
#

There have been no congested servers for a while. "Can't create new characters" does not mean congested

slate arrow
#

Behemoth is Standard

#

not Congested

mental garnet
#

so tldr transfers from anywhere to anywhere cost money at the moment, right?

vagrant copper
#

And even if it were, you wouldn't get the road to 70 bonus AFAIK. You'd get some other benefits but not that

slate arrow
#

Yes, since there are no congested servers

vagrant copper
#

(For example, a free transfer)

faint flare
#

It needs to be congested with a capital C

@marble drift late response because i was in dungeon, but in my experience, if you do it the manual way (copying the actual files from the directory) you copy everything when you back it up. Keybinds, UI layouts, macros, what was in what hotbar, gearsets, everything.

Ok so is the bard legit or what

faint flare
#

Yes

simple shore
#

Huh?

clever flame
#

new to FF14 right now strugglin to level up any tips dont know if this is the right chat to ask ty in advance

vagrant copper
#

What level we talking about here?

eternal grove
#

I started 2 weeks ago, just follow your main line quests

simple shore
#

If you're new, all you need to really do is focus on doing the MSQ.

#

Levels will come naturally by doing that

#

and MSQ pretty much gates everything behind it.

eternal grove
#

If you're stuck just do some dungeons real quick to level up

lime sphinx
#

I know i've asked this earlier and theres a small workaround, but am i the only one not able to DM people cross world,?

simple shore
#

The only time you need to do dungeons is if : A. the MSQ requires you to do them, or B. you somehow fall behind the MSQ in terms of level, which shouldnt happen until like....probably Shadowbringers content.

eternal grove
#

I'm about to reach 50, just trying to level up my Warrior

remote lintel
#

is it better to hold divination for the e5s enrage or just use it

lime sphinx
#

i can /reply, but not /tell

remote lintel
#

if we're fairly close to enrage

eternal grove
#

I am constantly one or 2 levels behind my main quests because that's what I focus on

faint flare
#

If you're only getting 1 more use out of any raid buff, coordinate with your group on when to pop it

remote lintel
#

ok ty

#

I'll hold it for buff window then

vagrant copper
#

You're doing /tell "Bob Jones"@Server right Myst?

faint flare
#

Same goes.with pots

lime sphinx
#

yes

faint flare
#

So if its the last pot you can save it for the mega raiid buff window

lime sphinx
#

it used to work

When specifying a World other than your own, the message can only be sent to PCs that are on your friend list or recruiting party members via the Party Finder.

simple shore
#

No they need to leave it exactly as is

lime sphinx
#

just like the fact that you can't join a party when crafting ???

simple shore

We dont need cross-realm spam tells, which is what would happen if they removed that restriction most likely.

When tanking, should I join the stack?

is there a way to comment out lines in macros?

twilit arch
#

by comment out lines, you mean putting something into say or party chat?

mental garnet
#

no

simple shore
#

I assume he means more like when writing code in other languages. A line that doesnt do anything

mental garnet
#

i'd like to be able to ignore a line sometimes

#

and if i take out the symbol at the beginning of the line, have the macro not ignore that line

twilit arch
#

no

mental garnet

i'll just make a separate macro then

some classes need innovation for my custom delivery macro, some don't

specialist?

mental garnet
#

none

#

can't decide namazuconcern

simple shore

If the stats are identical, then you should run your macro through teamcraft

whole wasp
#

maybe the main hands are different

#

different ilvl i mean

mental garnet
#

i'll look real quick

simple shore
#

because you're probably not "needing innovation on some classes", you're probably getting RNG from conditions

mental garnet
#

identical stats

simple shore
#

Then it has to be RNG from conditions

mental garnet
#

let me try it again

#

yep, you're right. i must've hit a poor without noticing

simple shore
#

Easy way to fix that

#

Add tricks of the trade immediately before great strides

#

That way if its excellent when you would hit great strides, it consumes the excellent and goes poor on great strides, going back to normal for byregots

I never looked at Physick in the spellbook, and apparently "Physick from ~1.5 years ago" is now "SCH Physick"

#

lol

#

No wonder i thought they couldnt cast it

whole wasp
#

lol yup

#

they seperated the two physicks because of the SMN LB cheese back in SB

simple shore
#

Hmm, what was that? i dont recall that from back during my God Kefka farm days before i got burned out and quit.

#

Then again....we didnt have a SMN so i probably wouldnt have known

whole wasp
#

SMN and SCH's physick both scaled off mind in SB

#

that means SMN physicks is weak AF

#

LB gauge has a massive bonus if you heal someone who is at low hp (<10% iirc)

#

so people unequip and re-equip to drop their hp

#

smn spam physick which constantly gets the LB buff since their heal is weak sauce and they stay in the critical LB zone for a long time

#

boom, free LB3

Looks like someone uses the knife model on a Paladin combat stance

#

RDM is good

That doesnt look like a CUL knife to me

its the tonberry knife

whole wasp

looks like tonberry knife

twilit arch

its the tonberry knife

which is cul offhand

warped nest
#

Personally speaking every Job is good aside from Monk

simple shore
#

Huh, interesting

warped nest
#

OK... So is there a way to play around with your offhand knife?

twilit arch
#

no, its making use of certain third party tools to show it off

warped nest
#

There you go, Princessa

whole wasp
#

model swap mod i reckon

warped nest
#

My guess is Paladin combat stance with model swap

indigo sentinel
#

i swear i recall like another class once u crafted with an item that uses the off hand (like spinning wheel or hammer) would show up maybe im mistaken >.>

whole wasp
#

every crafter/gathere combat stance is gladiator combat stance iirc

indigo sentinel
#

how official is the gamerescape site? bc i pulled this png from there

twilit arch
#

I mean, yes the off hand does show when you're crafting certain items

#

its not official at all

#

its a player ran site

indigo sentinel
#

gotcha

warped nest
#

They will show up in the animation and you can gpose said animation, but you don't get to do other poses with it

indigo sentinel
#

man squenix cucking me i wanted a yandere photo taking and i was promised showing up knife

twilit arch
#

A fair number of low level rogue knifes are similar ish looking

hmmm... maybe try BLU sharpened knife?

#

i dont recall the animation but it might be cool

#

!action sharpened knife

zinc orbitBOT

**Sharpened Knife** : lvl 1 BLU (200 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(1.0 second base cast time)

Deals physical damage with a potency of 220.
Additional Effect: Potency is increased to 450 when target is stunned

Blue Magic

At this point, tonberries' predilection for sharpened knives is well known. By manipulating aether to harness feelings of resentment, one hones a keener blade for driving into the heart of the enemy. Naturally, being beset by this attack while unable to move is a uniquely harrowing experience.

Obtained

Tonberry King / The Wanderer’s Palace

Blue Magic

Type: Physical
Aspect: Slashing
Rank: 4

Depending on your shot composition, Ninja/Rogue might be better because they held the knife backward

Fairly sure a selected few has a chance to get it randomly

leaden ginkgo

is there a way to make the icons/timers/images of specific buffs bigger?

#

also, is there a way to bind a skill to a single hotbar? (i.e. only using one square and not the entire grid)

remote lintel
#

for specific buffs no

#

put a skill on a separate hotbar and turn off the empty spaces

#

@leaden ginkgo

lime geode
#

Any good ranged DPS for higher ping?

#

Sounds like machinist would be rough.

remote lintel
#

probably a caster

lime geode
#

Does SMN share levels with SCH?

remote lintel
#

yes

lime geode
#

Weird. Why?

twilit arch
#

because they have the same starting class

remote lintel
#

you gain class exp not job exp

#

and since they both use arcanist the exp goes into both

lime geode
#

Hmm. Just feels strange that I could jump over and be a SMN with no experience except to lvl 30.

#

Just trying to find a DPS class to level. I tried out DRK tanking and didn't really enjoy it. I love SCH, but as we chatted about previously, I'm going to hit the lvl cap before I run out of MSQ.

gloomy ice
#

SMN have their own job quests, naturally, meaning you'd have to do both for your skills.

remote lintel
#

dnc

#

rdm

lime geode
#

Low complexity and good for high ping being important criteria 🙂

halcyon glen
#

@lime geode DNC has its intricacies but it’s in my limited experience fairly ping friendly and while there’s a lot of buttons to push in literally random order it made sense pretty quickly to me

lime geode
#

Ok, some googling says RDM and BLM rank on the easier side as well. Not sure how they do for ping though, thought they needed low ping.

halcyon glen
#

I mean every class is affected by latency. A lot.

lime geode
#

I get it - as there's a round trip from the server to me and back and my ping is about 190ms.

#

So I end up in AOE that I shouldn't sometimes.

halcyon glen
#

Every class has that issue

gloomy ice
#

I would say RDM is the least screwed by ping of the three casters

halcyon glen
#

Latency’s main affect in end content as I understand it comes in the form of oGCD weaves

lime geode
#

The healers feel the most forgiving - unless you're letting your tank get super low.

#

Yeah I imagine, I'm only at lvl 70 in post-heavensward. So not even close to end game.

halcyon glen
#

But basically you should be able to do 2 oGCDs per weave window, and too high ping says no

lime geode
#

Well spell queuing does help

halcyon glen
#

Weave windows being the period after an instant cast fwiw

#

RDM is the least screwed of the casters because they have the most weave windows - every second spell they use is Dualcasted and thus gives you time to burn oGCDs

#

At least as I understand it

lime geode
#

I'll give it a shot. And perhaps dancer if I don't like that.

halcyon glen
#

So worst case scenario of you have 2 oGCDs you want to use you use one, cast a spell, Dualcast, and use the other

#

I like Dancer a lot for avoiding those AoEs as it has essentially free movement due to being a ranged physical DPS

#

As well as it having an extra “aaa get me out of this AoE” button in En Avant

lime geode
#

Thanks for the advice

whole wasp
#

SMN and BLM have weave/movement windows as well in the form of instacast ruins for SMN and triplecast for BLM

#

just need more thought compared to RDM

halcyon glen
#

Aye, though SMN doesn’t help the “needs an extra class to level” issue when the main class is SCH 😦

whole wasp
#

ah i see, go BLU? haha

halcyon glen
#

BLU is indeed always the answer

wet sigil
#

are there any good resources for which minions are good in lord of verminion? all the lists/posts I find about it are outdated

lime geode
#

Wow I didn't realise how far I was from stormblood - I'm only at the end of 3.1!

#

At least it doesn't look as bad as post-ARR

halcyon glen
#

Oh so I hope you still have at least half your tissue box left

gloomy ice
#

But you’ll notice immediately that each set of patch quests for HW is much shorter than what you saw through ARR

#

Lot more cutscenes tho 🤔

lime geode
#

But no RDM till stormblood 😄

halcyon glen
#

Yeah ya can

lime geode
#

Yeah love the cutscenes! Feels like watching a movie.

halcyon glen
#

The SB and SHB classes are all in 2.0 areas

#

So you can unlock them now

lime geode
#

Ah it's just ownership of the expansion, not having to be in it to do RDM and dancer?

twilit arch
#

rdm/sam simply require lvl 50 and have stormblood

lime geode
#

Got it

twilit arch
#

they don't have msq requirements

whole wasp
#

yea, they learned their lesson with the HW's jobs being locked behind MSQ.

twilit arch
#

same with dnc/gnb, simply need 60/shadowbringers

whole wasp
#

all expansion jobs afterwards can be gotten in the 3 starting cities

lime geode
#

Makes sense - I should have figured it out as I saw the Gunbreaker guy in Gridania.

halcyon glen
#

RDM is in Ul’dah and starts at 50, DNC is by Limsa aetherite and starts at 60

lime geode

Hi so im trying to create a new character on famfrit, but it says its not allowing new characters. If I keep refreshing will I eventually be able to create a new one or is it something that takes long to change?

molten spruce
#

takes long, server has lots of players

#

they do that so other worlds get players

twilit arch
#

tbh shouldn't be too much longer since its a temporary lock based on how many people are currently logged in

#

and its getting late so most people should be sleeping

I see so it something that in a few hours it could open up and allow me to create? I have a few friends there so I don't mind waiting if it wont be something like days or weeks lol

Do making alts

Every character you make is completely separated from one another

#

The only thing they actively share are account-wide items

leaden ginkgo

Righto then

twilit arch

the only way your alts are going to benefit your main is if you're in the same fc as them

and use the company chest as a means of 'ferrying' items over

Anyone can help me with the zombification during sophia ex?

#

I'm pretty sure that we did the stack correctly, but we are consistently getting zombified for some reason

#

I don't understand

edgy gate
#

are u talking about the first demiurge stack thing?

#

or just in general ppl are getting zombified?

willow cipher
#

Yeah the first demu

#

We killed second and baited the dropped the puddle

edgy gate
#

are u guys standing between him and the targeted party member?

willow cipher
#

yeah

#

we stand in the center to avoid getting knocked back

edgy gate
#

is everyone being zombified or just a few?

willow cipher
#

usually a few

edgy gate
#

its happened to my parties too. but usually at the end of the add phase and we clear the dps check np

#

but i have no idea why either, tho its harmless

#

but if it happens midway, def someone is getting hit by something

willow cipher
#

Yeah

#

It's pretty annoying

edgy gate
#

is it midway or at the end?

willow cipher
#

at the end

#

We were wondering if something went wrong during the stack

#

but everything looked good

frigid sigil
#

do I need to upgrade crafter gear at 71 or can I delay until 80? also if I upgrade is yellow crafter scrip (at least the tools) good or is that a waste of scrip?

edgy gate
#

depends on ur method of lvling

and yeah if its at the end, it usually just happens cuz the debuff doesnt wear off fast enough for some ppl.

little swift
#

Lv70 scrip gear is decent to hold you to 80

#

But you can always grab some vendor gear at the crystarium

edgy gate
#

u can attempt to make/buy the MH/OH stuff

#

theyre cheap and give the biggest boost

leaden ginkgo
#

for DRK, I should be getting 5 uses of bloodspiller per delirium cast right?

little swift
#

Keeping the mainhand offhand up to date every couple levels will make a huge difference in craft difficulty but not end of the world

frigid sigil
#

yeah for crafting armor I was more inclined to do that cause the scrip gear is per class which is a bit insane but I also would like to maybe save on gil for tools at least

little swift
#

@leaden ginkgo yes

leaden ginkgo
#

ty

#

there's scrip gear that's shared between classes

little swift
#

There's the handling set which is universal for crafters

frigid sigil
#

oh? damn must have not seen that

fresh lodge
#

You only get zombiefied if your HP drops to 0

twilit arch
#

You should have the hand/landking set from yellow scrips

leaden ginkgo
#

the handking's set

twilit arch
#

not the class specific set

little swift
#

Its better than the class specifc

frigid sigil
#

will look for that then nice

edgy gate
#

u can also get zombified if the debuff stays on you for too long

little swift
#

Its under 70 gear 2 or something

fresh lodge
#

For Sophia EX?

edgy gate
#

yep

#

but for some reason, and it happened even during HW days, the zombified doesnt come off and u just get a few ppl who get zombied at the end of the add phase

#

its harmless tho and its fixed by just baiting the zombies to the good side

#

so no one dies

fresh lodge
#

True

is there a reason they removed harmless glitches?

that's something you can access through your grand company in the city states, but you need to be a certain rank with them to access that feature

Do people not do PvP stuff in 14 anymore? I want some of the gear, but i guess enough people dont play it.

next steppe
#

if you're a monk, your grand company is probably the flames, so go talk to them and see what you need to do to go up the ranks with them. generally it'll be grand company hunts and the like

sinful monolith
#

grand company hunts okay ill check that out asap once my game installs

next steppe
#

depends on the time of day, @wicked lark, and what DC you're a part of. I'd try after the daily reset for the best chance of seeing people queue

As in raiding

A term for the learning experience

molten spruce

a team gets together and practices to eventually get the clear

steel wedge
#

Ah ok and pug what does that mean in mmo slang

molten spruce
#

public group

gloomy ice
#

Pug is short for that or pick up group. Randoms in other words

molten spruce
#

random ppl team

#

those can turn out to be a horrible idea in elite content

#

they are ok for regular stuff but if you want to clear the hardest content you will need to prog it most likely

#

or get lucky on a pug

stable hinge
#

does the DoW job I assign my retainer matter at all?

gloomy ice
#

No, all have the same loot pool.

obsidian patio
#

In terms of what they can get, no.
BUT
Their level can only go as high as you are for that class

stable hinge
#

I see

molten spruce
#

i have heard that crafting jobs are better for retainers?

obsidian patio
#

So if your warrior is only level 40. then a Marauder/Warrior retainer can only go as high as 40.

#

retainers can't be crafters.

molten spruce
#

i got trolled

#

nice

obsidian patio
#

They can be gatherers, but Battle retainers can still be decent income for some monster drops

#

like fleece, spoken blood, and diremite web

molten spruce
#

but the rng on that i guess is horrible?

obsidian patio
#

Hunting ventures where you choose specific items to get have no RNG besides some of the items being high-quality.

stable hinge
#

Thank you

molten spruce
#

so if i have 9 retainers and set them to get spoken blood, i get 9?

mossy tartan
#

Is there any side quest series like ||eden|| in stormblood?

molten spruce

and sell em all

#

Is there any side quest series like ||eden|| in stormblood?
@mossy tartan as in alliance raids?

mossy tartan
#

nope

#

A party with 8 players

#

normal raids I mean

obsidian patio
#

The amount you get per hunting ventures is boosted by the item level for battle retainers

#

I think base yield is 10 items per hunting venture

#

and hunting ventures are like 50 minutes or an hour long.

molten spruce
#

so i can get a shit ton of loot with 9 retainers

obsidian patio
#

if you can keep supplying them with ventures, then yeah.

molten spruce
#

do ventures cost?

twilit arch
#

yes, all of the expansions have their own 8 man raid series @mossy tartan

#

stormblood's 8 man is the omega series

#

heavensward is alexander, and a realm reborn is binding coil of bahamut

mossy tartan
#

binding coil is hell synced

You can get Ventures through various methods, but the main/easy methods are through your grand company for GC seals, and The Hunt for Allied Seals/Centurio Seals

#

what is phantasmagoria?

obsidian patio
#

Tomestones for level 80 gear.

#

so for crystarium?

gloomy ice
#

Allegory is for Crystarium

obsidian patio
#

Phantasmagoria is used for deepshadow stuff, which is i460/470

molten spruce
#

so useless

#

neo ishgardian is 480 crafted

#

glam i guess

wintry chasm
#

Nah not glam

gloomy ice
#

There are crafting materials that you can buy with phanta, which are used for the 480 stuff.

wintry chasm
#

It's a good starting point for raiding

obsidian patio
#

also if you don't want to spend gil on the Neo stuff

molten spruce
#

is there any dps req for e6s?

#

ik thats a taboo

#

but 5k dps ik wont get the job done

obsidian patio
#

Balance says your group needs a total of 83.7-84.2k rDPS to barely beat the enrage.

molten spruce
#

if every1 has solid rotation seems fair

#

achievable

#

wait in rDPS u mean ranged?

obsidian patio
#

raid dps

molten spruce
#

ahhh

My personal regime is removing all skills off the hotbar. Add one back at a time, as I read tooltip and use it on the dummy

#

Dummy don't hit back and I can focus on seeing what does what and figure out how to best arrange my hotbar to make using skills easier and smooth

lime geode
#

Yeah, trying to figure out where to put stuff on the hotbar is actually kind of tricky.

warped nest
#

That I can't exactly help because I am on crosshotbar (controller)

lime geode
#

I love the customisability - it's fantastic.

#

But it's an infinite number of combinations and layouts 🙂

warped nest
#

Your bread and butter single target combo and your low cooldown time Ability (both AOE and Single Target) should be the easiest to press

#

AOE weaponskill/spell can be further, stuff you don't want to press by accident is even further out

Last thing you want to consider is making sure your bread and butter stuff can be easily accessed while moving

@acoustic island With food, medicine, and the Soul of the (Crafter) it comes out to 632 CP

leaden ginkgo
#

when should you attempt the Ifrit battle you unlock after ARR MSQ?

slate arrow
#

(which, you don't need that much. You'll be spending a shitload of time on extra steps unless you're actually trying to max out your melds, in which case, you're insane, please find help.)

leaden ginkgo
#

I just looked it up and it says it's only at i67, which I think I'm just under

slate arrow
#

Ifrit is still in the ARR MSQ

lime geode
#

Thanks @warped nest - I think some low level dungeons will help and I'll take everything else off the hotbar

slate arrow
#

all of them except for the Eden ones

leaden ginkgo
#

after the preatorium I mean

lime geode
#

A lvl 30 dungeon would have most of the basics for RDM.

slate arrow
#

Ifrit Hard: you should have your iLvl 90 gear from your level 50 Job Quest + Ironworks Accessories(iLvl 120) you can buy with Poetics from Mor Dhona

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah I have the job quest gear, I was gonna save up my poetics for the level 60 gear but if it lets me do content while I wait for the patch to trim down MSQ I guess I could get some gear

slate arrow
#

There's no reason to try and save up your poetics.

obsidian patio
#

don't bother waiting for level 60 gear if you only just beaten the base ARR story

slate arrow
#

You'll run into the cap far before then with the amount of dungeons and trials the ARR patch MSQ throws at you

obsidian patio
#

you'll need to reach level 58 in the story to be able to buy it

leaden ginkgo
#

oh gotcha, so the patches give you a lot poetics? I didn't realize that. I thought people had to grind them out

slate arrow
#

well, yes, if you include all of the optional dungeons

lime geode
#

you'll have so many you won't know what to do with them all

leaden ginkgo
#

ohh very nice

lime geode
#

and they cap at 2k

slate arrow
#

plus the level 50 raids

obsidian patio
#

also daily roulettes too.

If you can stomach running Castrum Meridianum or Praetorium once a day, that's 500/600 Poetics a day for very little actual effort from Main Scenario Roulette.

slate arrow
#

you know that help I can't hold all these limes image macro meme

leaden ginkgo
#

I guess I'll get some ironworks gear then! They look badass

slate arrow
#

that's basically ARR patches with poetics

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks for clearing that for me then

sinful monolith
#

how or when can I get chocobo to help me fight ?

leaden ginkgo
#

does the MSQ itself provide poetics or do you unlock optional hard dungeons?

slate arrow
#

yes

#

(in a more worded out way: mandatory dungeons and trials grant first time bonuses)

obsidian patio
#

@sinful monolith complete the quest "My Feisty Chocobo" in South Shroud near Camp Tranquil

slate arrow
#

(100 poetics every first time bonus)

leaden ginkgo
#

that's a lot

#

thanks again

#

and to Utaya, once you do that quest you can give them these greens that activate the chocobo to fight with you. They're super cheap

sinful monolith
#

oh cool im actually next to that camp doing msq LOL

leaden ginkgo
#

what a coinkydink

vivid wolf
#

Does that iconic dragoon lance appear somewhere in game?

#

the spear with the reverse axehead

#

this one

warped nest
#

Yeah...

gloomy ice
#

That’s Gae Bolg. Dragoon’s first relic weapon.

obsidian wren
#

!iglam gae bolg

zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
#

This is your AF1

obsidian wren
#

Yeah you can start the questline at lv 50

#

It's an early step so it's fairly easy to get

vivid wolf
#

the armor is just drachen i guess?

oak ice
#

Yes

obsidian wren
#

Yeah you get it from the armour coffer frok your lv 50 jobquest

vivid wolf
#

AF1 is pretty bad compared to ironworks, right?

#

or am i missing something

obsidian wren
#

Yeah

#

But you can glamour it

#

So you have the looks of AF but the stats of ironworks

#

itemlevel 90 compared to 120/130 for (augmented) ironworks

#

I believe the final relic weapon step is i135 but it takes so much time and money that it's not worth it

rare karma
#

Is there a way to have a macro target the closest person?

sinful monolith
#

is there a way to rename my choco that comes out to help me fight

dense herald
#

yes, if you go the npc who first gave it to you i believe you can rename it there.

#

for instance, Cingur the choco porter in gridania offers a renaming service, though they weren't the one who gave it to me

twilit arch
#

you can talk to the chocobo keeps in the major cities to rename it

#

or if you have access to a stable via free/personal house or apartment, can do it there as well

sinful monolith
#

feels good, a gm told me he renamed mine but he didnt, gotta do it fast before I get caught 8 )

#

ty for the quick help

obsidian patio
#

@rare karma IIRC the macro line would be /tpc

rare karma
#

Thx

#

Is there a list of macro lines anywhere?

obsidian patio
#

System > Macro > should tell you a keybind to press to open up the giant list of macro commands at the bottom of the macro menu

mossy tartan
#

Is it better to conserve a swiftcast ascend if I have < 15s on my lightspeed CD? So I can cast all 3 together and save 50% of the mana, assuming the target isn’t in dire need of an ascend (MT is alive, etc)

obsidian wren
#

Waiting 15 seconds would mean the person you're raising will miss out on 6 gcd

#

Unless you're in a really tight spot manawise I'd say to not wait

#

Especially if a cohealer or a tank needs raising

mossy tartan
#

Absolutely, I always break this habit if it’s a healer or tank that needs it

#

Anyways, thank you

obsidian wren
#

If you feel like you're gonna have too little mana to keep the tank alive I'd consider waiting

#

But it's all very case to case

mossy tartan
#

Mostly I save my ascend for lightspeed to come off CD when I have 5k / less than 5k mana left

#

Sometimes I get a cohealer that seldom applies regen on the MT, so I’m forced to use GCDs to heal him, thus less mana left

#

Which then sparked the idea of conserving ascend until I have lightspeed, as I run out of mana fast if the cohealer doesn’t heal the tank as much

obsidian wren
#

As an ast you generally wanna have the other healer do more of the raising anyway if possible, since they got much better mana management tools

lime sphinx
#

So ive been un front of this house fot 7 hours

#

Hidden timer is 100% random right

open coral
#

Yep

lime sphinx
#

Zzz

#

Hate it

agile laurel
#

anywhere from 1 hour to 36

#

good luck...

twilit arch
#

no

#

36 is incorrect

#

as far as we know, there is no upper limit on it

lime sphinx
#

Bruv

#

Such a bad system

agile laurel
#

it's that or face even more price scalpers than there already is

#

lesser of two evils isn't saying much, but

lime sphinx
#

We can trade houses ?

gloomy ice
#

Nope and that’s why this system exists. It was deemed a big enough problem to implement the timers.

twilit arch
#

technically, yes you can

#

but the issue was people were selling houses for grossly overpriced prices

#

like smalls which are like between 3-4mil, were being sold for 20+mil

lime sphinx
#

Yeeee

jolly sorrel
#

For WAR, I want to align my Fell Cleaves with Berserk/Inner Release. Does DRK have a similar thing with Edge of Darkness?

#

Or is it just a... use whenever, screw alignment thing?

agile laurel
#

yes and no

fresh lodge
#

The only ways to trade houses it to sell an FC with a house, or already have a house and buy the plot using relocation

agile laurel
#

fit 5 bloodspillers into delirium

#

edge of darkness is whatever, it's basically just huton

jolly sorrel
#

Okay, so there's no particular MP management thing going on, just use all my MP recover moves on cooldown and just use Edge of Darkness on cooldown

agile laurel
#

drk - 5 BS into Delirium
pld - 4 HS + 1 Confit into Requiescat
war - some? fell cleaves + 1 upheaval + 1 onslaught into Inner Release
gnb - 1 Cartridge combo + 2 Burst Strikes + Sonic Break + Bow Shock into No Mercy

#

conversely, you don't want to have no MP, you don't want to drop Darkside, and you don't want to overcap

simple shore
#

@jolly sorrel pretty much that until you get to 70

agile laurel
#

you will overcap if you sleep on it, especially at higher levels

simple shore
#

At 70 you unlock Blackest Night, and you should ensure that you always reserve 3000 MP for it.

agile laurel
#

and ofc you can burn some MP into edge if you see a trick attack or divination or suchlike

jolly sorrel
#

Hmkay, I see.

mossy tartan
#

(Very sorry for the quality, all I could find) what’s the weapon and for which job is it?

#

It’s a book

simple shore
#

I have no idea what im looking at

agile laurel
#

yeah gonna need more than that chief

twilit arch
#

uh

agile laurel
#

you got a full image?

mossy tartan
#

nope :/

jolly sorrel
#

Garuda book maybe?

agile laurel
#

just by the offensive glow it could be a thordan book

mossy tartan
#

What’s the name? I’ll check it

agile laurel
#

will check

open coral
#

It's a SCH or SMN weapon

mossy tartan
#

The hue seems light turquoise

twilit arch
#

not that's not thordan

agile laurel
#

yeah it isn't

twilit arch
#

that's bismark

agile laurel
#

thordan glow is less offensive

twilit arch
#

Endless Expanse Codex

#

or grimoire

#

they share model

agile laurel
#

how the hell'd you work that one out

#

like you're probably right but what black magic is that

twilit arch
#

the particle effects look like bubbles

#

which is bismarck's

agile laurel
#

i can't even see that much but

#

if it's right it's right

#

and it is the right shade of offensively-prevalent blue

twilit arch
#

can't think of any other blue glow for weapon that looks similar to it

sinful monolith
#

hmm i saw a limit break gauge in my dungeon but didn't know how to use it, is it a skill I need to assign to a hotkey?

twilit arch
#

yeah, its in your actions and traits menu. in the general section

sinful monolith
#

oh wow ok

twilit arch
#

you'll need to add it to your hotbar, but make sure you put it somewhere you can't fat finger it easily

open coral
#

Be aware that Limit Break is a party-wide ability, not personal.

sinful monolith
#

oh yeah im a monk I figured I should learn to use it loool

open coral
#

Mostly it will be used by melee dps (like MNK) to deal the last 10%-ish of a dungeon's final boss's health bar.

gloomy ice
#

Melee like monk are basically expected to lb bosses yeah

obsidian wren
#

In dungeons its usually used at the final bossfight by a melee dps or during a big pull by a ranged/caster

#

Since ranged/caster have line/circle aoe

open coral
#

Although there are times when ranged classes are expected to use it as well.

mossy tartan
#

Thank you for the weapons, had to go for a moment

lament citrus
#

Is there way to level up faster than potd?

median locust
#

Highest level dungeon you have unlocked over and over with fast queues

lofty pulsar
#

for the seeking inspiration quest for the anima weapon. Do I have to be the same class with the relic weapon equipped or can I play any?

lament citrus
#

Yes @lofty pulsar

lofty pulsar
#

\

lament citrus
#

@median locust it took me 10 mins for one dungeon que

lofty pulsar
#

yes to which one..

median locust
#

Get a tank/healer friend

#

To speed up queues for you

lament citrus
#

I'm astro

median locust
#

unlucky then

lament citrus
#

@lofty pulsar same class

median locust
#

Same class but you don't have to have the weapon equipped iirc

lament citrus
#

And potd barely giving me 1 level up within 2-3 51-60 runs

twilit arch
#

no, seeking inspiration doesn't require you to the same job

#

you just need to have the quest active

lament citrus
#

Really?

twilit arch
#

its the singing cluster stage

median locust
#

Would make sense cause you can pick that quest up literally anytime

#

even when not doing a relic

lofty pulsar
#

ty

median inlet
#

I got 4 classes at lvl 69 and I'm trying to keep my road to 70 for as up as possible. I want to level up bard, even if it's just to 30. Any tips to go from 1 - 30? Haven't done that in a while.. PoTD?

lament citrus
#

I thought it was the do X dungeon part

lofty pulsar
#

no

#

singing cluster

median locust
#

You can level jobs past 70 and not lose road to 70 lol

lament citrus
#

That can be done by any class

median locust
#

it just disappears until you switch back to a job under 70

lament citrus
#

As long as u didn't finish 90 days of the buff @median inlet

twilit arch
#

You lose road to 70 when your character is 90 days old or your server stops being preferred, whichever happens last

median locust
#

It goes away permanently when your character is 90 days old AND your server isn't preferred anymore

median inlet
#

Oh

#

Well dang haha
Still, any idea on going from 1 - 30?

lament citrus
#

I wish I had that buff

#

If u have floor 51 unlocked it's better @median inlet

twilit arch
#

1-15: hunting log, fates, palace of the dead

#

15+ daily roulette, highest level dungeon, palace of the dead

median locust
#

1-15 you can really just do hunting log, fates, sidequests. PotD is slower than those options at that level I feel

#

and yeah when people say Palace of the Dead for levelling, they mean floors 51-60 over and over

fresh lodge
#

1-10 also works if you don't have your job stone yet

gloomy ice
#

It’s time efficient but it can be excruciatingly boring if you run it too many times in a row.

median locust
#

hence why I don't level my jobs in PotD or HoH lol

oak ice
#

Also you have to hope you don't get people who hunt every chest on every floor

mossy tartan
#

Is bismarck extreme solo-able by using unsync as a level 80 white mage?

obsidian patio
#

Might need a lucky misery crit on a snake

oak ice
#

I don't see why not

median locust
#

You need burst damage on the adds, if they're close to each other they turn invincible

oak ice
#

You're unlikely to nuke the snakes fast enough so they will take a while anyway, but they shouldn't be able to kill a healer

#

Not invincible, just much tankier

obsidian patio
#

They don’t become invincible, they just take like -90% damage

mossy tartan
#

How will I separate them? If I’m only one player

obsidian patio
#

You can’t

median locust
#

you can't

obsidian patio
#

You burn one down as fast as possible before they tether and then whittle it down

agile laurel
#

i've seen SAM do it by blending one of the fuckers before the vuln down hits

oak ice
#

At 70 you would run around with them until one of them stopped to AoE

mossy tartan
#

Is it possible to use fluid aura on one, then kill the other?

oak ice
#

Nope

mossy tartan
#

Or repose?

median locust
#

Probably immune

agile laurel
#

probs immune to it

mossy tartan
#

ah

oak ice
#

Just hit one as much as possible and then heal through it

#

You're not gonna reach enrage time anyway

mossy tartan
#

Okay, thank you everyone

analog gate
#

sorry if this is a dumb question but i'm really confused rn
so both my WAR and GNB are using the same armor set (shire if it matters, half of them augmented) and my WAR has slightly higher skill speed, i'm guessing because of higher level
however my GNB's GCD is 2.31 seconds while my WAR's is 2.41
is this normal? is GNB just inherently faster or something?

faint flare
#

Its just the higher level

#

The higher your level, the more stats you need to hit the same thresholds

#

All jobs are the same speed

analog gate
#

so basically if i don't upgrade my armor, but i level up
my GCD will increase?

faint flare
#

Will decrease

#

Since your skill.speex hasn't changed and the requirements for that same thresholds has gone up

analog gate
#

so slower then?

Its why you need thousands of skill speed to hit something like 2.3s gcd at 80 but only a few hundred at lower level

analog gate
#

i see
how peculiar lol

#

thank you!

faint flare
#

Its so stats dont get out of control.and so we dont have like 1s gcd at 80 and 100% crit

#

Since there's a Tooooooooooon of substats at cap

frank chasm
#

Anyone know what they’re doing to ishgard restoration in patch 2.3?

faint flare
#

Adding the next stage of it

frank chasm
#

It’s not ending?

faint flare
#

So if anything it will probably be like what happened in 5.2

#

No its not ending

#

Restoration will last us the whole expansion

frank chasm
#

So housing is not until the end of expansion?

faint flare
#

Probably next expansion

#

Is when it comes

frank chasm
#

Like one more year

faint flare
#

If.its even true

median locust
#

Housing was never confirmed, just kinda hinted at
