are they adding hades mount totem exchange next patch
Lemme look at patch 4.3 to see if they did for shinryu’s Mount
@valid obsidian not available atm otherwise I'm on Crystal and can do it.
I think so
5.2 added the totems for Titania and Innocence
@woeful nacelle looks like it, so there’s good odds of it.
sounds good
@willow marlin It's not a high level desynth, just a lot. To put the quantity in perspective I require about 130 each of battle and fieldcraft demimateria 1
Say if you just need grade 1 demimateria, you can desynth brass ring/brass ring of crafting for them
Just need level 30 goldsmith
The rings are dirt cheap from vendors and have fairly decent yield
I bought the IIs, and you can trade 3 I's and 2 II's of each for 2x umbral sands
Need a 2nd tier anima weapon for a glam, and that requires 70-80 sands. I just overbought on the tier II materias, and will toss the extra IIs and Is to a friend towards his sands
I just don't wanna take the time to level the goldsmith lol. I do not enjoy engaging with crafting or gathering at all
So is there any real reason to do old savage content? Other than just to do it for the fun of it? Is their any cool mounts or Minion drops?
Oh I guess it’s to unlock Ultimates too 🤔 As I think about it
Mounts, glamour and unlocking ultimates
Ah ok do you get any cool drops in ultimate? Or just for the Challenge?
Ahhhh I see cool ok then
What would I want to look up to look at those super shiny weapons?
!iglamour Ultimate Draconomicon
what do I click to remove the glamour from the cloak so I can add it to my new coat
Just use the item you used as the glamour again

Glamour just puts a copy/illusion. Of the item onto your equipment
Glamour the new equipment then equip it
oh okay
Oh! I like! A lot
are you able to be a tenant of a house in a different server but on the same data center?
or do you have to reside in the same server?
Must be the same server
ok thanks

you can only do 3 pixie quests per day?
im currently respected
let me rephrase that
you can do 6 on the day that you rank up
and then every day after it'll be 3 again
aahh okay
ya mb
no youre fine, i was wondering because the wiki shows 6 quests per rank, but i guess thats the pool of avilabble quests
yeah, that's the pool iirc
3 out of 6 quests from pool i guess
keeps it from getting too stale and having to do the same quests all he time
the*
as you rank up, the pool becomes bigger iirc
makes sense, and im glad haha, 6 per day, i'd do them gladly, the exp is insanely high
Yeah pixies give good experience since the previous expansions had two combat tribes
doing the old beast tribes daily wouldnt be much exp right?
@ 70 no
but if you do them in the level that they're supposed to be done
IE: doing the level 50-60 while you're level 50-60
doing one of them won't give as much when compared to pixies
you'd have to do 2 to get around the same
hmm okay makes sense, since its older content
Fairly new to the game and just got my Astrologian to 50 and was wondering about Diurnal and Nocturnal Sect. Is one better than the other in dungeons, is it situation dependent, or does it not matter much? I was mainly using regen but there were a few times I got tanks annoyed about messing with enmity even though I was waiting till everything was pulled. If I run shields I usually get a comment about how it's only for 8 man groups.
noct is irrelevant outside of ultimate or if you have a second diurnal ast
thus, generally always use diurnal
and same with whm, tanks can get edgy about early-pull regens due to them ripping enmity, but really as long as you're sitting on them and not adverse to taking a second's worth of hits it's a non issue
If you really are waiting until everything is pulled before sticking aspected benefic regen on, then tank was just being dumb
tanks can get enmity enough to beat out an aspected benefic with literally a single aoe
Diurnal is flat out more healing..
Nocturnal is for when content Requires shields but you can do what lyon said and put a shield up then swap before the tank pulls
like fighting ratholos in the monster hunter trial, nocturnal is better once ratholos disables conventional healing
but 99% of the time diurnal is the goat
and a quick question about BLM, once I get umbral soul, is there any point to having transpose in my hotbars anymore?
Pretty sure Your shields will do nothing past the ultimate in Rathalos since they’re based on how much you heal
Cant use umbral soul in fire
you can cast opposite elements for free if you have 3 of the other though?
yes, but that assumes you have something to hit
and that doesn't apply to umbral soul
You flat out cant cast umbral soul in fire
!action umbral soul
You're not always gonna have something to hit
Grants Umbral Ice and 1 Umbral Heart.
Umbral Heart Bonus: Nullifies Astral Fire's MP cost increase for Fire spells and reduces MP cost for Flare by one-third
Can only be executed while under the effects of both Enochian and Umbral Ice.
To swap over
'Can only be executed while under the effects of both Enochian and Umbral Ice.'
Aka you end a trash pack in fire
So you transpose to ice
For umbral soul
Same with boss downtime
Transpose still gets used between trash packs
Umbral soul doesn’t replace that function
No use for transpose while in fights though? besides downtime
not past 72 no
Correct
there's meme optimization or if you really make a huge mistake and can't refresh AF/UI or swap before they fall off
what is the interdimensional rift?
but by and large yeah rotational transpose stops being a thing
It’s a rift between dimensions
Transpose becomes "Get me back into ice cause i have nothing to hit or fucked up"
ah okay
Past 72
what happens with the materia in a gear when you exchange it for an upgraded version, like crystarium gear, is it lost? How does one usually upgrade, wait to slot in materia until you get the other or try removing the materia after?
is there a way to show only your dots on the focus target bar? Show only Detrimental Effects you cause, doesnt work cause thats for the regular target bar
thanks Vinyl!
It occupies ||the space between the shards/Source||. ||Omega’s pocket dimension is also “the Interdimensional Rift” but it’s a little pocket of extraplanar space entirely under Omega’s control. How it works is rather beyond our comprehension.||
@tidal yarrow
No steef afaik
oh I've no idea what u talking about lol.. I just saw a friend there and wondering if I could go there
Ah
Your friend is doing Omega raid quests.
Just a quest area.
Can’t go there outside of those quests.
fuck, would've been nice to have it. thanks tho
ahh I see thx

oh
use an iajutsu
then it lets you use a buffed version of the same one you just used
mostly reserve it for tenka and midare i think
Remember that 30k I wasted earlier about having a weathered earing. I didn't know the story was going to give me earrings too. So my question is: If I continue story will I get (armor items from job quests)/(accessories from Story Quests) until wherever the story is at the present? So I don't have to look in the market to upgrade until I finish with the story.
The story will keep you mostly up to date on gear
You dont really need to go out and buy gear, especially after lv50
As you can get gear via poetics for lv50 and levelling dungeons past 50 give you a guaranteed gear piece on clearing
nice
so I'll just continue story
and worry about upgrading after I complete it
thanks

btw @faint flare is the earing I have good for now
Yes
thx
115 is the entry level of heavensward
I feel stupid, how do you get past here? (T11)
There's only one pad to stand on and no way to go back besides killing myself in the death wall, lol
Need player to do the other side
West pad unlocks east side, east pad unlocks west side
Gotcha, lol
I don’t believe it’s possible solo
doing command squadron, cept npc dont follow mechanics
Yeah
wtf am i supposed to do
They don’t
no you can solo it
you just need to stand on the platform for awhile
@median locust
@tidal osprey best you can do is muck about with engage/disengage to ensure they aren’t standing in puddles
yeah basically just kill yourself on the wall then walk back lol, that's what I tried
Killing myself is faster and has no cooldown 
fair
With enough dps you can just kill the boss faster
is potd faster than squad?
If i don't care about what mats I want in diadem, do I just beat on the closest node for 3 hours?
Like I just want xp
Just cycle around and zooka whatever

Three for ARR I believe
Ok im on the third
Alliance roulette? You need only two unlocked to get the roulette for it.
what is the command to preview gear again?
Are there any resources for finding how to gear quickly as a fresh 80?
And wtf is going on in alliance raid i have no idea whats going on
Lol
Just follow everyone and learn it 🙂
Jus follow ppl lol
They're not all that hard.
Thats all i did just follow and attack 😂
Unless u a tank and then u gotta know everything
follow up to my previous question, Does gathering/perception matter in diadem for xp?
Well i main tank but went through as dps
right now everything I see just has 100%
Is diadem worth me learning?
if I'm level 60, can I buy shire gear right away? or do I have to complete the final quest of HW?
Complete HW
Shire gear is meh
I have a cap of 2k poetics
I don't even know what's that
No
Lol
Really
what is the command to preview gear again?
Do you guys think I can clear Haukke manor solo as a BLM at lvl 73? (With a lvl 50 weapon
Hate that dungeon
Hahahaha really?
do higher potd floors give more exp?
so 51-60 and reset?
iirc 50-90 give the same
Yes
and 90-100 give a bit more
Bout to level my first gatherer any tips??
not sure where to look I was told some information was release today where is it at
You mean the website for 5.3?
Take a look at #lodestone-news-na
The special website was launched and a JP interview came out
With translations in #translations-and-liveletters
ty ty all
Why is the newest alliance raid based off of ||nier automata?||
Because it is
This expansion 24mans are all nier
For the collaboration
Its a whole story line
I get that it’s also a SE game but it’s just surprising but cool at the same time
The current raid is nier too
Other than that the raid are there anything else connected to the storyline?
obligatory 'but it's yoko taro who tf knows'
Depending how you interupet it
^
but yes, raid questlines tend to self contain
If they are willing to go to games outside FF then I want my KH themed storyline yesterday lol
and not alter other stuff
There's also a permanent Trial from Monster Hunter - Rathalos
besides 'hey why's the improbable airship chillin at kugane'
There's also been a few crossovers that've been and gone like the yokai watch and garo stuff
And they've had temporary events collaborating with a ton of other games, Yokai Watch, FFXV, DragonQuest, etc.
Anyone know how long the wait time for getting a party to run Chrysalis is? Doing it for main story right now.
Depends on server and time of day
it's on trials roulette so as long as any other i'd say
I know GARO was a thing I wish they would bring them back so other people can experience them
Primal
You won't get anyone queueing for it outside of MSQ or trial roulette, like
That's NA, so you're just a bit off prime time @eager gorge
(cause chrysalis tends to be an absolute bitch)
So you'll be waiting a bit, most likely.
Everyone basically forgot garo existed until they said "hey btw its ending after 3 yeara"
What's the prime time for this stuff generally? Sorry just started like 4-5 days ago
Shame cause it did have 2 of my favourite weapon glams I'll never get
but such is life
Prime time is typically mid-afternoon to early evening, regional time.
Or any time after reset on weekends.
Especially for stuff like Chrysalis, your best bet might be trying to queue immediately after reset occurs since lots of people will be queueing for their roulettes at those times.
Oh just got the first member status check. Thanks.
good lu-uuck
Have fun!
I'm guessing it's a hell fest...
If you're dps, make sure to go hard on the void rift when it spawns. If you're melee, use LB on it.
Not really
Tank here
Soak the meteors then.
Then stand under the meteors
You'll understand when you see it.
Sounds fun haha
The small meteors, specifically, not the big one.
and if you don't, someone will definitely enlighten you very fast
Use your cds to soak them
Or better, pop your immunity before you get pulled into the void realm
Hi I just installed the game and i'm in the tutorial, it say to move but when I do nothing happen
Are you using a controller or keyboard/mouse?

It worked for some reason it didn't want to work. Now I have no active quest where do I know what I should do ?
Look at the MSQ tracker on your screen
Default location for it should be one of the corners of the screen
I see I think I got it
before you get devilment/technical step, can just use them on proc
but after that, you generally want to save (without overcapping) so that when you use technical and devilment, you can blow them during that
@twilit arch having fun so far with it, i just anything on proc right
theres no specific spell que
Pretty much
Just remember to fan dance 3 before fan dance 1/2
Since those fans don’t stack
gotta buy from mogstation
is that the only way?
yeah
If you get the upgrade to the Heavensward Collector's Edition, you get a free Fantasia on each of your existing characters and every future character
there's no other way other than buying them straight up, or getting the 1 free one from the MSQ
alright
is there any way to just fuck around in the character screen to make a new one?
cause i just feel like going in there and messing around right now
yeah
you can start to create a character and just not finalize it
You can also mess around in the character creator when you hire a new retainer
also can save the data appearance while messing around with character creation
mastercraft 3 and 4 books, from yellow scrips
From the yellow scrip vendor
You may need to check with one other than the one you're at
The one in Rhalgr's Reach, for example, does not sell Shadowbringers master books
The first two books are purchased from Talan in Mor Dhona
But they require crafted items not scrips
@obsidian patio wdym they dont stack
turns out i was also still signed up for the keeper of the lake
half an hour later...
How does selecting 5 duty finder queues work? What does the system prioritize?
use the proc before using another fan dance

so i can get another proc
@compact rose from what I can tell it randomly chooses whatever fills first
So first comes first serves?
Yep
Gotcha
Flourish gives me all my procs basically right
Yes

where do i find gatherer's gear for lvl 60+?
Kugane has 61-70 vendor gear
script gear too?
Nope, have to go to the main city-states, ishgard, or rhalgrs reach for that
Eulmore too
idyllshire for heavensward scrips
yeah i have idyllshire gear
ill check out rhalgrs reach
didnt know there was a script exchange there
didn't limit breaks used to have a cutscene style animation associated with them?
(with camera angles?)
not as far as i recall
They would do that for benchmarks but in game, yeah, I don't believe they did that.
hmmm i have been full of "hey i remember a thing in a game" and that thing never existing today...
Is it expected to run out of stuff to buy from the achievement certificate guy?
yes
I guess unless I want more swimsuits 
I ran out decades ago
you get way more achievement certs than there is stuff to buy
It’s pretty easy to get everything yeah
cool...
Is there a good resource for suggested materia for each class, or is it mainly intuition?
!faq balance
these are the spreadsheet nerds of the community
they have suggested materia for all jobs
Dancer uses intellect right
Though what they use is largely irrelevant. Because they start at 60, its past the point where you're capable of making wrong main-stat choice.
Every piece of gear you can equip will have Dex as a main stat
If you just started dancer, you should have no need to do so
Ah, hmm. Rhalgr's Reach or Kugane vendors should have stuff for you
if you just want NQ vendor gear
yeah
what does Role Waiting List Number mean exactly
In the locations i just stated?
@trail prairie It's your position as that role. So like, if it says Role Waiting List Number 9 and you queued as DPS, it means there are 8 DPS ahead of you in the queue.
i havent unlocked those places
so i want to get high allagan gear for glamour, how would i go about starting that?
there's replica high allagan gear that's crafted and sold on the marketboard
@last seal Those drop from Binding Coil of Bahamut turns 6-9. Those raids also drop the items used to craft the replica gear. So either buy it crafted already, or go farm it yourself. T6-8 are relatively simple to solo at 80, though T9 is rather rough and requires significant burst damage as well as basic knowledge of the fight.
lol adventurer in need dps
most of the aetherstones (atleast on my server) are super cheap
i have never seen this before
Is there any reason to run the nier raid more than once a week?
Question what are the classes you unlock by leveling the characters?
Like i know the gunbreaker comes at level 60
But what are the other ones?
Is there a way to preview specific dyes on certain items in this discord?
@mossy tartan no
and darkknight
Dark Knight, Astrologian, and Machinist are available to be unlocked upon beginning Heavensward. Samurai and Red Mage are available as soon as you're 50 on anything. Dancer and Gunbreaker are available as soon as you're 60 on anything. Blue Mage is a bit different, and its not a "real job" per-se.
make sure u have the expansions too
@simple shore i was more meaning the ones you can dye, since the raid ones cant be dyed
My buddy and i were probably gonna get a class to 70 but that would also unlock those level 60 and 50 classes too?
I am leveling a warrior but wanted to know if that's the case too
@last seal yes, the dyable ones (the replicas) are crafted using materials obtained by doing the raids. Aetherstones (which are super cheap, as noted by Kaelwryn), and other materials which you can easily acquire via desynth.
It unlocks the ability to unlock them, yes.
If you wanted to play them you'd of course have to go do their questlines and level them
sadly theres nobody that wants to do the raids
Well as i said, at 80 they are mostly trivial to solo
Turn 9 being the primary exception to that
most of the replica gear shouldn't be too expensive
i dont have an 80
can always make use of world visit to check for cheaper prices
300k+ for the allagan tank coat was the cheapest i saw
Well, perhaps focus on levelling and MSQ and come back to it later?
how do i change the keybind for hotbar 2 to something other than ctrl
when i try to change it, it only lets me use 1 key
is it just the replica tank coat you want
Register the input like you were actually pressing the button
E.g. Alt+1
Err not every key may be usable as a modifier.
i was wanting the full set for my tank and bard, bar the helmet
@jade quartz i tried that and all it puts in the box is "mouse button 4"
not "mouse button 4+1"
because its hard to find symetrical armor for the bard that looks good
@jade quartz i tried that and all it puts in the box is "mouse button 4"
you need to bind your mouse button to alt/ctrl/shift externally
what server are you on
do u know of one?
Is there a clear option for bank items?
if your mouse comes with its own software, then you can usually bind it there
otherwise i use x-mouse button control
Most mice of that sort should install their own software
Retainers act as your bank/auction house @silk burrow
er you mean like remove all option
because auto hotkey somehow doesn't work
nope
rip
just have to manually pull them out :\
@jade quartz @analog gate seemed like too much effort so i used alt instead lol
@simple shore thank you!
What do I do with items that are lower than the required collectability?
if its a collectable only item, throw it
Desynth them, lower quality to normal if its somehow useful to you, or trash it.
its a normal item that can be turned into a collectable, reduce quality and sell/desynth
I cant reach the required collectability for Skybuilder Rings
I have a couple of them lower than collectability its starting to fill up
Reaching the required collectability isnt very hard. Perhaps your rotation needs to be improved?
Idk I do Great Strides, Innovation, then Standard touch until I am out of CP, and I still dont have enough
So does each stack of gl give 5%?
@leaden ginkgo what level are you, and what is your craftsmanship, control, and CP
Okay yeah your gear is REALLY far behind whats expected there
do you use inner quiet at all
Yeah, im looking on teamcraft and with those stats hitting the minimum collectability is next to impossible.
I know this is for questions, and help I just had to ask this question... Because I see this everywhere in the market. So I'm clearing out my junk and trying to see sale history for the items, and I noticed an item was sold between 2-10 p. Then in the middle of the list I see a 500k sale. Is this normal?
i would say its a way for people trade large amounts of gil
Beastkin Blood
some people often list things for stupid high prices as a ways to hold it in extra inventory as well
500k is tradable
@leaden ginkgo Even using Hasty Touches i cant get to minimum collectability. You need to update your gear, or you need to craft the level 20 item instead. That's your only options.
it could be someone who bought gil for real money
and this way they transfer it
RTM is against tos
How do you get a 4th gl ?
GL4 requires you to be in Fists of Wind.
!trait riddle of wind
So you build your first three stacks in Fists of Fire, but then switch to Fists of Wind before your fourth Snap Punch or whatever
and stay in Fists of Wind from then on.
From level 76 onward, you only use Fists of Fire when building up the first three GL stacks.
how does one revoke their free company application?
You mean, withdraw your own application to a FC?
yes
Access company profile window again and select "withdraw application"
Instructions are halfway down
You can access the company window of the FC you have an application pending for by just opening the FC window (semicolon by default)
don't have to go track down a member again
@simple shore How is Craftsmanship 187 Control 178, CP 279
its better, but your CP is still quite low azure
There

use that macro
Is there an emote that looks like the player is caging his/her hands together to say a prayer? I don’t know how to explain it further, sorry
Woah
remove the `
Do I like make this macro
copy it into your user macros page
the emote where your hands glow? it's /ritualprayer from the Kojin beast tribe
Yeah that macro should work
if you copied it it should be the same
you wait
Wait until its unfrozen
Or get lots of gil and buy one from a player
A smol plot should cost around 20 mil
unfrozen?
Auto Demo is frozen
do you mean like directly offering an owner?
Yeah
You will find discord servers
I can send you one
please do :o
You post that you want a house
Of this size
From this nation
Currently, auto demolition is inactive. Meaning that alot of these places are probably vacant and owned by people not even playing. Normally they'd have been destroyed by now.
And I want this specfic plot
Or look for people who sell
sounds great I'd love an invite :p
someone need macros for ishgard lvl 40 and 50? i made my own ones
i achieve over 150 collectibility with it
is there like a section where i can find a guide of my class (gunbreaker) to see like what stats i should prioritize in materia and like rotations and such?
!faq gnbguide
That's the go-to
Materia priority for GNB is Skill Speed to your preferred GCD threshold > Crit > Direct Hit
oh nice thank you, i didnt notice you can scroll up sorry about that
What class do I have to be to desynth weapons?
thats a quest
@grim adder it depends on the weapon
oh um shinryu's weapon
as in what Job it's for
oo
there should be an indicator on the item window
I thought I could only desynth fish because I was a culinarian ^^;
the class you need is the same as the one needed to repair the weapon
Right. Generally this is going to be BSM/CRP/GSM/ALC. Rarely LTW.
for weapons, anyway
can I get multiple xp rings if I do the hall of the novice in multiple classes or is it a one of thing?
You can only have one
ok tyvm
Note the text at the top :
UNIQUE UNTRADEABLE
Anything flagged as "unique" you can only have one of in your inventory
oh ok
or rather, one of in any given inventory. So you couldnt equip two unique items simultaneously, but you could have one on yourself, and one in your chocobo saddlebags. But for your purposes, the answer is a simple no
for the pld ability 'cover' do i have to select a target or is it auto?
You have to tell the game who you want to target. This is typically done via macro on PC at least.
This macro would cast cover on whoever you were hovering your mouse over, or if there was none, cast it on your current target :
/micon "Cover"
/macroerror off
/ac "Cover" <mo>
/ac "Cover"
thanks for the macro
i'd advise not using a macro
since they don't queue
but it is a viable crutch
as long as you understand that
Cover is used rarely enough that a macro is probably fine
but always be aware of the caveats
meh, macros save more time than you lose in several cases
you can alleviate the queuing issue a small amount by increasing the number of /ac "Cover" <mo> lines
With the stats I have, is it possible to get a 220 collectability?
Craftsmanship 187, Control 178, CP 279
In all cases, manual input is possible to do more efficiently than macro
is that the second tier?
however, the manual input may be difficult or irritating to perform.
Yeah, i will never manually target Dragon Sight. Fuck everything about that.
you're a tad below what is needed to reach the second tier
i can see your point balm, but that doesn't mean its more efficient to use a macro
they were designed to suck for combat
Depends on the player. Perfect play and ideal circumstances will render a macro inferior always, of course. But, in some cases, its simply going to be a loss to not use it for people.
rage of halone becomes royal authority later
Rage of Halone is replaced by Royal Authority automatically at level 60
ahhhhh
You dont need to update your bar
when you get goring blade, use that as your 123 until you get RA
then it becomes goring > royal > royal
and passage of arms?
its not a rotational thing
Errr
Potentially it can be used as a last-resort cooldown in a dungeon if everything else is exhausted and healer can’t keep up
But that should really never happen
So what is a good scenario to use form shift in ?
So I need to deliver this item as a collectable, but it crafts the item normally, where do I turn collectables on or smth
!action collectable synthesis
thats what you turn on
form shift is great when you have to follow a tank in dungeon pulls
Where do I find the ability? I looked in the actions menu
and you can't hit stuff
is reprisal used?
have you completed the lv50 quest inscrutable tastes?
yes reprisal is used
its AoE
Oh nvm I was looking in wrong menu
@tulip plover to begin fight in Coeurl stance of course
on that note @molten spruce arm's length is an attack speed slow as well
and between pulls to keep stance timer up
so combine it with reprisal
is there a guide on how to lvl gathering fast?
gotcha
Diadem is sped
you need allowances for leves right?
Yeah
yes you do
If you dont do leves alot, you should have a good amount of them
you get 3/12hours
i use them to farm chests for the amber thing for crystal sand for HW relic
O MY GOD
Forgot that quick synthesis doesnt make collectables

Does SE actually do something agaisnt macro-users to spam placards ?
What happens when you only used 1 correct step
as a dancer
and used the finisher
nvm just read the website job spell

@lime sphinx you can report them for botting
or if you win the house
put a retainer in front of them and sell them stupid things for money
they're using an external program to auto-click the buy option
against ToS btw
don't do it
its just mindless press the glowy button 
does technical step
randomize the sequence
like standard step
@jade quartz so technically it would be the same as using perfect balance to get greased lightning fast?
no
Uh i dont get it then other than quickly switchint to courl to increase gl counter
Then you get it
machinist and astrologian arent starting classes
Ohhhh ok so i have the right idea
Start in coeurl stance so that you get stance buff and can get GL1 immediately.
Perfect Balance is used later in opener
i'm making my character right now, why can't i find machinist or astrologian?
machinist and astrologian are expansion jobs, particularly which you have to be in the expansion Heavensward to unlock
ye you gotta get to heavensward
you can play whatever you want, since you can play everything on one character
those are the base classes
available to you
PB is usually used to spam bootshine and dragon kick, rather than to build stacks.
essentially
just make sure you complete your level 10 class quest of whatever you start as
and you can swithc from then on
Perfect Balance opener is still a thing but it's less popular
but still needs starting in coeurl stance regardless
Huh i feel like it takes too long to cycle througg the gcd to get to courl tho :/
Ah thats what i figured

So do you just keep pressing meditation whenever available?
You use it whenever there is a decently long down time
It works on prepull?
Ok
So it like a kamhameha basically?
Ahhhh
!action Meditation
it changes to the Forbidden Chakra when you have 5 stacks
in your gauge
Forbidden Chakra is a damage oGCD
use it as soon as you can
free damage.
Enlightenment is the AoE version.
Chakra are built with Meditation or from Critical damages from any weapon skills
at 3+ enemies, use Enlightenment instead of the Forbidden Chakra.
Meditation prepull give you the full 5 stack of Chakra to spend on those two Ability
Giving 5 Chakra outside combat is a nifty QoL
Without it, people would just do 5 Meditation out of combat to get the 5 unit of Chakra
I've been hearing about hunt discord servers, anyone know if there is one for crystal?
what's the best stuff to buy if I want to turn GC seals into gil?
Ummm
Kings cake? And Dispelling Arrow.
I can tell you for certain that it is definitely not Moonstone
In this situation with max espirit and everything up, do I still do the standard dancer opening?
question i just finished the main unborn story line, currently lvl 51, i dont want to read anything unless its heavensword. are these quest like starting of heavensword? or is there a main quest where i know ok, its heavenswordd noiw
i also want the dark knight haha
In between ARR and HW, there are ARR patch quests spawn across 5 patches, the later patches set up for Heavensward
i skipped all except last 20 missions
hellooo a small question about housing and furnishing, i have a room at FC house and plannign to move to another FC, will my stuff be safe if i put everything in storeroom?
They are not exactly filler just very horribly paced info dump
the end is pretty cool
They are not exactly filler just very horribly paced info dump
@warped nest exactly
it is mostly fetch missions
not necessary
should i read the quests
@crimson willow
ok
bought a Tales of Adventure: One Machinist's Journey II for an alt on a different server and havent gotten it yet. I've tried the request item option on the mail. What should i do?
When you actually got into Heavensward stuff the game will shove the title Heavensward on your face, you cannot miss that
hellooo a small question about housing and furnishing, i have a room at FC house and plannign to move to another FC, will my stuff be safe if i put everything in storeroom?
@sterile ore you should take everything that belongs to you back into your own inventory if you can
how do i know im at heavenswsord
Read up
large giant words that say HEAVENSWARD
how do i know im at heavenswsord
@crimson willow you literally walk into ishgard
oh ok
do i need to finish msq right now or can i just go there
i beat the main one
finish
@little swift does putting it in storeroom doesnt help it?
i think theres filler msqs now
MSQ is one long continuous stream of quest
i beat the main one
@crimson willow everything is main
You beat the base ARR section of the MSQ
just those patches between ARR and heavensward missions are veryy lengthy and not so fun
its literally 100 quests
WAIT I HAVE TO DO 100 QUESTS? AFTER THE STORY OF UNBORN?

i remember just grinding the skip button lol
hey I got the gallant "set" yesterday after reaching level 50 as a paladin, but it said I can't use the set in dungeons/raids and somewhere else too. what's the point of it then? sorry if it's a stupid question, I'm new to the game
WAIT I HAVE TO DO 100 QUESTS? AFTER THE STORY OF UNBORN?
@crimson willow yeah
did you open the coffer?
yes
and then 100 more for HW
bought a Tales of Adventure: One Machinist's Journey II for an alt on a different server and havent gotten it yet. I've tried the request item option on the mail. What should i do?
and then 50 after
yeah pretty sure it means you cant open the coffer in dungeons
is it even worth reading any of this 100 before heavensword?
ooooh, thank you 😄
kuz ima read heavensword lol
is it even worth reading any of this 100 before heavensword?
@crimson willow no
but i dont know if i shjould even read this 100
You want to pay attention to the latter half
just watch the cutscenes
Because it sets up for HW
Again, it is just poorly paced
theyre pretty important for setting up future expansions
@shrewd owl this is true, but if u watch cutscenes you will be fine
@sterile ore storerooms have a storage limit, it should generally be okay as long as you don't leave anything in the room itself
afaik it should be
If you are a story person, just pay attention to it
I despaired at around level 36 and bought the main story skip =/
i jsut wanna be a dark knight
LKOL
i just wanan be a dark knight
then il read w/e bullshit
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
am i muted?
There are options to buy story skip and buy job skip
So if you ain't considering that
Then just do the story
@pure oasis no
i jsut wanna be a dark knight
@crimson willow skip all except the voice acted cutscenes
those are important
I'm playing on a road to 70 server and I was level 48 while story was at 36 =/
theres a reason why they paid voice actors for those lol
and I've only done a few feature unlock quests and paladin quests
vali just wait for now, submit a ticket if you don't get it in a day or so. but make sure your payments went through and everything
whats the bot command for lvling guide? i always forget lmao
!faq altlvlguide
alright payment went through i double checked.
also make sure you selected teh right character to receive the items
do i need to have complete the hunt log?
no
you must be 2nd lieutenant though
after
damnnn
Is there a way to get a glamour closet/dresser in my apartment?

i know this term has something to do with roleplay but i dont know what it actually means wtf does WU/T mean
walk ups /tells
walk up means like you walk up to them and start roleplaying using /say or /emotes
tell is sending them a tell to start role play
OOoooh aight
ok that makes sense ty
scared to ask i was scared it was finna mean some erp type crap
is there a vit materia to increase health?
not anymore
just got all my gatherers to 80 trying to work out if it's worth it going for the current best gatherer gear or if I should just get white scrip and wait for the next patch
whichever one you want
I want to not spend too much time into working on gear that becomes obsolete really fast unless it's an unskippable step in the progression
Either go for the HQ 430 stuff on the marketboard or Facet if it's cheaper
the new nier raid will have new glamours...right? most likely?
basically is there anything big that white scrip gear won't let me do that melded gear will
Otherwise you're still waiting 3 weeks
3 weeks is nothing really given my schedule of playing and I still haven't finished ShB yet
do you want to spend gil or spend time gathering scrips is the bigger question tbh
I want to be a cheapskate kind of
You'll recover the gil cost assuming you play everyday and play the marketboard
but also I don't want to run past nodes that might be valuable
Scrips are as always a hassle to grind
oh, if you want something that will remain relevant, the Skysteel tools are a good investment
that's the relic thing from ishgard? I saw the quest after unlocking firmament
yep
I kk will do that and probably look into facet gear then
Honestly 430 will be perfectly fine but it entirely depends on MB prices
this late into the patch it's probably cheap but it's worth hopping around your datacenter to find the best deal
I see that makes sense
Melding it very lightly will suffice for most things right? Don't have to pentameld that late into the patch
You don't even need to meld it
ah cool
personally though, if you're going to buy (unless you've not got that much gil) i would just wait for 5.3
and buy the new gear
alternatively, you can gather the materials to make your own 5.3 set and just have someone craft it for you if you have a crafter friend
yeah I'm kind of new well as new as you can be making it through 3 games in 3 months so I'm def not very rich
Really it just falls down to "do you want to spend the gil now or later"
you probably won't be affording a 5.3 set until maybe a month or two in
mostly got the gatherers so high from gc turnins + the content was kind of relaxing if I didn't have the time to hard commit to a dungeon or several cutscenes since you can stop gathering very easily vs quitting out of duty so I kind of outpaced the msq here hard
did the 5.3 preview reveal anything at all about the new nier raid's glamours?
nope
okay so that dreadful set is just the new dungeon glamour then
its listed under the dungeon section of the preview site
the 1st nier raid has some GREAT glamours
is it possible for a friend to fly me to idylshire even if I haven't unlocked it? (i.e. two seat mount)
even if they did, I don't think you can access the vendors until the relevant MSQ quest
(it's a level 58 quest rather than a level 60 one, but still can't access the poetics vendors until said level 58(?) Quest I think.)
I'll try then
no you cannot be ferried to the zone if you aren't far enough into msq
you can't cross the zone line
if they teleport, I wouldn't get prompted to follow them?
Also no
no
So is cure 2 better than cure 3?
They serve different purposes
So you can have them seperately?
cure 2 if you need to heal a single person and none of your instant cast healing spells are available
cure 3 if you want to heal a tight group of people who may be far away from you
When healing, is it my responsibility to position myself so I can catch everyone with my AoE heals, or is it the DPS's responsibility to position themselves so my AoE heals catch them?
Weaving afaik
And if you're seriously oom, which shouldn't happen a lot
both to a degree
ideally you want to be in a place where you can get people with aoe heals easily
cure 1 is more mana efficient but heals less than cure 2, I think
but if dps are in the bum fuck of nowhere then you shouldn't be going out of your way to position yourself to heal them with aoe
Sorry i meant medica
Mana efficiency isn't something you should be concerning yourself with in this comparison
medica has a larger radius than cure3
Should more be ljke potency/gcd
as does medica 2
Is it rude to rescue dps into my AoE heal range if they decide to social distance from me?
Then when do you use medica
imo no, but they'll probably whine about it
Medica 2 applies a regen
I've generally only rescued people for mechanics
and if they do, then let them die if they wanna stand out in kansas
You're the medic, and if they don't want heals, you're under no obligation to heal them
Use m1 if you already have m2 regen on people
Wtf .-. I need to read a guide
Medica - AoE heals but everyone's spread out
Medica 2 - AoE heals but over a longer period of time
So would you use medica 2 between fights? But cure 3 during fights?
But medica when they are spread out?
Cure 3 is only for high bursts of intensive damage while the party is stacked close
cure 3 = everyone is stacked close and you need people topped off asap. medica 2 = people are spread and you can let the regen top up
Medica 2 to top off group
