#

or 1 chest with ONLY one item

#

0 chest means nothing drops

sturdy mason
#

Ah ok I stupidly thought that weapon dropped from Shiva herself

#

I understand now

faint flare
#

Nope

static yacht
#

ye its hte chest that drops it not the boss

faint flare
#

Both in chests

static yacht
#

the book however DOES come from the boss barring some limitations**

#

but that's the only thing that does iirc

faint flare
#

And like the card if that ecen means anything

static yacht
#

e8s has a card?

faint flare
#

I think so, i think cards drop in normal and savage

static yacht
#

I've been clearing it so long and I never had one drop...

faint flare
#

Cause same boss and all

#

Been awhile

static yacht
#

tf p_p

clever cave
#

no cards in edens verse

#

i wish tho, i love triple triad lol

mild ermine
#

how much crystal sand do i need for the relic weapon quest ?

ionic hazel
#

is scholar worth playing

oak ice
#

Aim for 80 pieces since you can't rely on the bonus very much

#

Yes

faint flare
#

Yes

ionic hazel
#

seems like a lot of work for a healer

faint flare
#

Astro is more work ahahahaha

ionic hazel
#

really

#

well....

#

i play astro

mild ermine
#

80 crystal sands? Q___Q

faint flare
#

Dealing with cards all the time and planning out cooldowns like star and horoscope

#

Etc

#

Scholar is widely considered the king of off global healing

remote lintel
#

i really like ast and really hate sch

#

so its up to u

ionic hazel
#

thinking of boosting one

#

just so i have all 3 healers to 70

static yacht
#

o-o wut

#

astro is arguably more work than scholar

#

er

#

more**

clever cave
#

ima boost an astro

ionic hazel
#

my ast is 70

static yacht
#

ye

ionic hazel
#

i cant boost it further

#

lmao

static yacht
#

ast is definitely

#

more work than scholar

remote lintel
#

then level it?

#

ast is more work than ast

faint flare
#

Can level scholar by doing summoner

ionic hazel
#

lmao

static yacht
#

me can't type

faint flare
#

Whats new ahahahaha

static yacht
#

in practice, scholar is probably the easiest healer to play

#

because you have ruin 2 and all your gud heals are oGCD

remote lintel
#

probably

#

i struggle with maintaining aetherflow so

static yacht
#

tbh my first time through a fight

sturdy mason
#

Can anyone suggest chokers that look decent on female mi'qote?

static yacht
#

I play very passively with aetherflow

remote lintel
#

what kind of chokers void

sturdy mason
#

Something that doesn't look like a WWF belt

#

Sure

faint flare
#

Uhhh 1.0 trailer or something?

static yacht
#

yea

#

that looks like the 1.0 trailer

#

its this

red junco
#

does Foul benefit from the buff Astral Fire gives?

faint flare
#

No

#

Foul/xenoglossy is unaspected

#

Astral fire only buffs Fire aspect skills

woeful nacelle
#

Does undersync Heavensward extreme primals count as tank duty achievement

peak trail
#

would anyone mind hopping in a call with me to figure out why I cant download this game? im 3 days in and I feel like iv tried everything

vagrant scroll
#

@peak trail in what way is it failing?

leaden ginkgo
#

Astral fire only buffs Fire aspect skills
@Vinyl Tails#6052 how much potency do you get for each astral fire?

faint flare
#

80% at 3 stacks

peak trail
#

@vagrant scroll error updating patches

faint flare
#

Iirc its 40/60/80% per stack of Astral fire

#

The values are on the wiki for it

obsidian patio
#

@woeful nacelle yes

violet star
#

which plays better at low level: blm or mnk?

faint flare
#

How low

violet star
#

sub 50?

quaint forge
#

I heard few people discussing about Grief Tactics back from Limsa. Care to explain what that is?

obsidian patio
#

BLM starts to be pretty smooth at level 40

faint flare
#

Uhhh maybe monk since it gets most of its basic gcd earlu

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah just checked the wiki, it's as you said

static yacht
#

MNK is decent but its better @ 52

faint flare
#

Blm gets its core rotation at 40 mostly

static yacht
#

cause if you have downtime

#

you lose all your stacks of GL

faint flare
#

With fire/bliz 3 to swap

static yacht
#

at least BLM has transpose

obsidian patio
#

@quaint forge no idea with how little context is given

#

Im assuming things like using large mounts to cover up NPCs or trade-spamming others

quaint forge
#

Hmm... ponder

remote lintel
#

were they talking about limsa or were they just in limsa

quaint forge
#

I heard what they’re discussed about grief tactics in limsa

remote lintel
#

it could be anything that just harasses other people

red junco
#

black mage gets fun at around level 40 or so, then goes full awesome at 60

leaden ginkgo
#

40? I'd say 50

obsidian patio
#

40 gives you the 3rd stack of fire/ice which removes Transpose from the main rotation, speeding things up

leaden ginkgo
#

even with firestarter at 42, all you're gonna do at those levels is spam freeze anyway

obsidian patio
#

Not for single target.

leaden ginkgo
#

well at least for me things got more fun when I got Flare

#

spamming flare and drinking MP pots while laughing maniacally

#

I'll give red mage a try this weekend

#

hopefully it has a smooth opener (or none at all)

waxen tundra
#

hi everyone im new to the game but could someone help me? the game keeps crashing but my connection is fine. i can't do everything with this problem :/

tidal yarrow
#

how much is 3 milion gil for a veteran player?

#

something you make in a day or a week?

faint flare
#

Can make in a day with crafters

tidal yarrow
#

oh wow, I see

faint flare
#

Crafters make bank

tidal yarrow
#

some random dude walked to me and gave me 3 millions..

faint flare
#

Rich in game is like 80mil+

tidal yarrow
#

gotcha

faint flare
#

Enough to buy a mansion and furniture for it mostly

tidal yarrow
#

you mean an house?

faint flare
#

yeah, large houses are mansions

tidal yarrow
#

ah okay

leaden ginkgo
#

mansions... the real gold sink

faint flare
#

Housing is the truest endgame ahahahaha

tardy storm
#

the poor player's "rich" is 15-20mil, which can be gotten easily by doing bunny fates in pyros/hydatos

#

which is me, i am the poor-rich player

faint flare
#

Im a poor poor blobsad

remote lintel
#

same

forest laurel
#

8mil here labo

lusty hornet
#

I'm full on company seals. I should buy Ventures and Cordials right?

warped nest
#

venture is good, grand company cordial are fine

#

yellow scrip's hi-cordial are better option

lusty hornet
#

okk thanks

warped nest
#

if you capped on venture or just don't have anything else you want to spend GC seal on, you can buy dispelling arrow and sell that to NPC for gil items and sell them to NPC for gil, you gonna work out which item(s) have the best conversion rate

latent prism
#

does anyone have the link to the EU recruitment discord?

deft quiver
#

how do i carry more than 1 zonureskin map for treasure hunts?

#

tells me i can only carry 1

faint flare
#

1 deciphered

#

1 undeciphered

#

1 in saddlebag

#

Its 1 per unique inventory

deft quiver
#

oh ok

#

thanks

faint flare
#

Then you can have 1 per retainer

#

And more in mail

wanton shadow
#

what's the quest that allows me to take the airship to other starter areas?

faint flare
#

X envoy

wanton shadow
#

ty I'll look out for that

warped nest
#

@lusty hornet you can buy Glamour Prism / Glamour Dispeller with GC seals too

#

then if you want to convert GC seals to gils, buy Glacier Crystal (600 GC seal, sell to NPC for 360 gils)

ionic hazel
#

is bio 2 the highest dot ability for sch

warped nest
#

no

remote lintel
#

it upgrades at 72

warped nest
#

it gets upgraded later at lvl 70+

remote lintel
#

!action biolysis

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Biolysis** : lvl 72 SCH (400 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals unaspected damage over time.
Potency: 60
Duration: 30s

little swift
#

does anyone have the link to the EU recruitment discord?
@latent prism i'd take a peek inside #resources and see if there is one there

crimson wind
#

Does Emergency Tactics regen stack with adlo

faint flare
#

Its not a regen

crimson wind
#

wat

faint flare
#

It converts the shield from succor/adlo into raw, upfront healing

warped nest
#

!action Emergency Tactics

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Emergency Tactics** : lvl 58 SCH (15.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Transforms the next Galvanize and Catalyze statuses into HP recovery equaling the amount of damage reduction intended for the barrier.
Duration: 15s

crimson wind
#

Ohhhhhhhhh

faint flare
#

Only whispering dawn (and extension angel whisper and fae union) are scholars regen

crimson wind
#

If I pop Emergency right before Galv goes off, does it apply three original amount shielded by galv or the current amount

#

Wait I'm being dumb

faint flare
#

It doesn't convert galvanise thats already applied

crimson wind
#

It applies to the next one

faint flare
#

Transforms the next

warped nest
#

if you need insanely fat heal right now

#

you can Emergency Tactic + (i forgot the skill to gurantee crit) + Adlo

faint flare
#

Recitation

warped nest
#

thanks Vinyl

faint flare
#

Used it so much its in my phone dictionary ahahahaha

crimson wind
#

I don't have recitation yet

#

Only at 58

#

I would assume Dissipation is used on cooldown?

warped nest
#

ehhhhh

faint flare
#

Not exactly

#

Its planned out

warped nest
#

Dissipation remove Fairy and give you stacks of Aetherflow

#

so it is useful when these 3 stack of aetherflow gives more value compared to having a fairy on your side at that moment

crimson wind
#

So when I run out of aetherflow I pop it

faint flare
#

Not always

#

When you NEED those aetherflow and fairy abilities are on cooldown

warped nest
#

read what i wrote

faint flare
#

Its used in openers for more energy drains

#

After that its used when required

crimson wind
#

Well in dungeons I would assume I would use it as much as possible

faint flare
#

Not realllly

#

Remember you lose the fairy

#

Which is a infinite source of free healing

crimson wind
#

I think 3 aetherflow stacks and 30% healing increase makes up for me eating the fairy

#

om nom nom

faint flare
#

Most the time you dont really use the extra healing up

#

Unless the tank is basically out of cooldowns and the trash is still alive

warped nest
#

don't forget that you have 3 aetherflow stack coming in every 60s

little swift
#

thats 30 seconds of no fairy

#

so you either have to really be sure nothing will happen

#

or be very smart with your aetherflow

#

or gcd heal

faint flare
#

Thats like 10+ or something of embraces lost

rich bay
#

Seems like dissipation is useless most of the time?

little swift
#

not at all

faint flare
#

So like 1500 potency of healing lost

crimson wind
#

Well embrace from my experience is minimal

little swift
#

dissipation is very useful

crimson wind
#

it's just a regen

little swift
#

great in burst windows and in a pinch

remote lintel
#

regens are some of the most useful healing in game

faint flare
#

Its a free regen

warped nest
#

it is useful, you just need to use it correctly

#

not on cooldown

little swift
#

in your opener depending on the fight, you use it before you hit aetherflow

warped nest
#

so it is useful when these 3 stack of aetherflow gives more value compared to having a fairy on your side at that moment
/\

little swift
#

for more energy drains

faint flare
#

Imagine if White mage had a permanent regen

rich bay
#

Heh......

#

!action Embrace

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Embrace** : lvl 1 SCH (3.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 150

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

rich bay
#

!action regen

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Regen** : lvl 35 WHM (500 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Grants healing over time effect to target.
Cure Potency: 200
Duration: 18s

crimson wind
#

Well 3 stacks of aetherflow is 1,800 when the embraces I get out of 30s in 1,500

warped nest
#

what about fairy skills?

#

if it is THAT easy, we would have said "yeah, dissipation on cooldown"

rich bay
#

The 150 pot heal is something

warped nest
#

but it aint

#

so we are having this text wall

rich bay
#

I guess you need to only use it when you really need the Aetherflow.

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a way to make the same armor set have 2 different glamours? like having the edencall fending set use both the GNB and DRK artifact glamour

crimson wind
#

No

remote lintel
#

yes?

warped nest
#

yes

#

link plates to gearsets

remote lintel
#

i mean technically it's switching between 2 glamours

warped nest
#

oh

#

oh, i didn't read part two

#

no on part 2

#

you can make the glamour

#

i am having a brain fart

remote lintel
#

you can have GNB on glamour plate X and DRK on glamour plate Y but you would need to be in a city to switch between the 2 glams

rich bay
#

Glamour plates doesn't work outside cities and housing area's.

Annoying cevat.

faint flare
#

One day ahahahaha

halcyon rune
#

Dissipation is good for removing Living Dead. Hit the DK with 6 Lustrates.

ionic hazel
#

does whispering dawn turn to consolation

#

when u summon seraph

faint flare
#

No

ionic hazel
#

or is that a seperate ability

faint flare
#

Consolation is its own ability

remote lintel
#

consolation is a separate skill

ionic hazel
#

running out of keybinds here

faint flare
#

Whispering dawn triggers angel whisper

ionic hazel
remote lintel
#

sch doesnt even have that many keybinds

halcyon rune
#

You can also save the aetherflow stacks until the fairy is back for 30 extra Fairy Gauge. But it's quite suboptimal.

#

Spending aether wihout fairy won't add to the gauge.

spice shell
#

What's the difference between a free company and a fellowship? Fellowship seems like FC-lite

faint flare
#

Fellowship are message boards

remote lintel
#

fellowship is basically just a message board

faint flare
#

Free companies are actual guilds

#

Fellowships have no actual chat

zenith karma
#

me and a friend just started the trial version, but in different starting hubs. We are both around level 15, and we were wondering when we would be able to cross paths. I started as archer, and he started as an arcanist. so is there like a ballpark for when this could occur.

spice shell
#

Oh ok, haven't tried fellowship yet

faint flare
#

Soon evin

#

Keep doing your story

zenith karma
#

aight ty

faint flare
#

Lv15 main scenario X envoy

#

Is when you'll travel to other cities and meet up

#

Remember to attune to aetherytes

zenith karma
#

yup

ionic hazel
#

are there only 2 spells that actually use aethergage

faint flare
#

On scholar? No

#

Tons do

#

Basically all their non fairy off globals do

ionic hazel
#

i mean faerie gauge

#

not aether mb

faint flare
#

Fae gauge yes, only 2 skills

#

Union and blessings

halcyon rune
#

Aetherpact and Fey Blessing.

#

I mean Fey Union, mb

#

One is basically a Team Fortress 2 Medic beam on a target, spends 10 gauge per tick. The other is a 60 sec cd partywide heal.

ionic hazel
#

Oooh

#

thanks for explaining that

#

i thought fey union just puts ur pet on a target

#

basically a follow

ember verge
#

I bought the standard edition, but the activation code isnt allowing me to transfer my account to full?

faint flare
#

They move closer to the target so the fairy can be initial range of the tether

remote lintel
#

what platform is the trial and what platform did you buy

faint flare
#

Then it just sits there

ember verge
#

PC

remote lintel
#

no

#

steam or windows

ember verge
#

windows

ionic hazel
#

i can reactive aetherpact to disspiate the union right

remote lintel
#

you downloaded the windows trial and bought it for windows?

faint flare
#

Yes

sturdy mason
#

Does changing "Cutscene Audio" to Japanese also make character speech in raids that language too?

ionic hazel
#

@sturdy mason yes

sturdy mason

remote lintel
#

for player character speech it doesnt change anything

ember verge
#

@remote lintel yes

remote lintel
#

are you sure youre entering the code into the right place on mogstation

wanton shadow
#

is there any way to hide MopiMopi when I'm not in battle etc? It's basically visible 24/7

ember verge
#

account services -> transfer to regular service

sturdy mason
#

Are there already English subtitles during cutscenes? I don't remember

remote lintel
#

yes void

sturdy mason
#

Just to be clear I'm referring to the ones that do not show the dialog box at the bottom

remote lintel
#

i know what youre talking about

sturdy mason
#

Ok thank you then

remote lintel
#

whats the error its giving you aexonia

ember verge
#

NVM IFOUND THE PROBLEM

#

I WAS DUMB, BOUGHT THE EXPANSION BUT NOT AND ACTUAL COPY OF THE ACTUAL GAME

remote lintel
ionic hazel
#

are people really that stupid that they think they can scam me with fake S/E websites

faint flare
#

You be very surprised at who falls for it

ionic hazel
#

uhm excuse me sir i can see the domain for that website based on the link is .ru

#

just bcause u put .com means its not a scam

#

fr these people

faint flare
#

Those have been going around

#

And too many people fall for it

strange coral
#

And usually the character sending it belonged to someone who fell for it

remote lintel
#

^

ionic hazel
#

im just gonna guess once u got to their website

#

theyll ask you to login

#

to view the thread

remote lintel
#

yep

faint flare
#

Yep

ionic hazel
#

wow thats so basic

faint flare
#

They take all account information, including the 2FA

remote lintel
#

i did it once and immediately realized and then changed my password

#

not that specific pm

#

but another one

faint flare
#

And quickly log on to the 2FA you put in is still valid and boots you

ionic hazel
#

scummy people are scummy

faint flare
#

Yep

ionic hazel
#

obvious scam is obvious tho

#

made me chuckle

#

also only awy to get faerie gauge

#

is by spending flow

faint flare
#

Yes

#

While the fairy is out

#

So using gauge while the fairy is away, either cause you forgot to summon it or due to dissipation means you get no gauge

ionic hazel
#

so there are 4 abilities

#

that cost flow

faint flare
#

Excog, lustrate, indom, soil and energy drain

ionic hazel
#

Drain lustrate indo and soil

faint flare
#

5

ionic hazel
#

ah i missed excog

#

sorry just boosted a sch so im learning it

faint flare
#

Do note you do get fae gauge when you use a flow skill via Recitation

ionic hazel
#

just 1 right

faint flare
#

Yes, Recitation gives you 1 extra skill

#

!action Recitation

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Recitation** : lvl 74 SCH (90.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Allows the execution of Adloquium, Succor, Indomitability, or Excogitation without consuming resources while also ensuring critical HP is restored.
Duration: 15s

ionic hazel
#

ok gotcha

halcyon grail
#

Are the lower level dungeons harder to find people for?

faint flare
#

Not really

#

They're in roulettes

#

So they pop eventually

#

As high level people get put into them and synced to the dungeon level

halcyon grail
#

What do higher level players gain from this?

faint flare
#

Extra XP

halcyon grail
#

Argh

faint flare
#

And other stuff

halcyon grail
#

Lost the two do’s

faint flare
#

When done via roulette

ionic hazel
#

do i have to place my fairy down

#

or i can just drag her along

#

in lets say

#

trials

faint flare
#

You ideally place her somewhere, so she stays in range to heal while you go off and do mechanics

#

But you can get by

#

By dragging her around

#

For the most part

wanton shadow
#

as a summoner do you need to micro manage your pet/summon?

faint flare
#

To a small extent yes

#

You place the pet close to the boss then use Sic

#

To get it attacking immediately

#

Otherwise you run the risk of ghosting/losing actions later when you get other abilities

#

Due to how wonderful pet ai is

wise acorn
#

when will onion knight be a playable class meol

wanton shadow
#

ahh I just wanna be a samurai but I'm 20 :

faint flare
#

You dont have to worry about it when low level

simple pine
#

me and my friends would like to try out this game, if they start a trial account, and i buy normal/subscription. will we be able to play as a party from the start? from what i read it looks like i can then invite us to a party?

faint flare
#

But higher levels you do

#

Yes, you can invite them if you get the game to play

wanton shadow
#

well I'm on a preferred server, so I was told I may as well level 2 classes at once

#

so I'm trying to pick my 2nd one

open coral
#

You don't have to level two jobs simultaneously.

simple pine
#

and is it possible to take two classess at the start? so that we can level together, but if someone wants to play when not everyone is there they can play on the second class?

open coral
#

You can get to 50 as your first job, then pick up SAM on the side.

faint flare
#

You can pick another class once you do your lv10 class quest

open coral
#

@simple pine You can't take a second job until you've completed your first job's level 10 quest and complete the quest "Sylph Management"

faint flare
#

Then you can pick up all of them

wanton shadow
#

yeah. they said I may as well level 2

#

since the exp is so high on 2x

simple pine
#

will they be able to do that as a trial account?

remote lintel
#

yyes

faint flare
#

Yes

remote lintel
#

only social functions are limited on a trial acc

#

and potd i guess

simple pine
#

and then in august when the trial expands, their trail automatically expands also right?

faint flare
#

Trials account and do pretty much every content they have access to, baring social limitations and potd

remote lintel
#

it should wilco

faint flare
#

We dont know

#

But maybe

#

Perhaps

#

Possibly

wanton shadow
#

I doubt it wont

faint flare
#

🤷‍♂️

remote lintel
#

its likely

dense pier
#

Aren't item levels synced in every duty?

#

Why do specific duties point this out

faint flare
#

Yes

#

However if you just level sync. It puts you to the highest ilvl you can gry

#

So if they didn't ilvl sync, you could do that trial with i500

#

And MURDER it

#

Its why the 50 8man dungeons just melt

dense pier
#

Oh so

faint flare
#

Cause there's no ilvl sync

#

So everyone is at 130

wanton shadow
#

is there a way to show my pet's dps?

faint flare
#

Opposed to 50

open coral
#

You can use ACT if you're on PC, but I don't know whether pet dps is calculated separately

dense pier
#

If a duty specifically points out i-level sync, that means if you do it unsynced it still syncs your item level to it? However, anything that doesn't have this icon will NOT sync your item level if you do it unsynced?

faint flare
#

Unsync ignores all sync rules

#

But when you do sync it, it places a additional sync to your ilvl

dense pier
#

but only for those with that icon

#

right?

faint flare
#

Yes

dense pier
#

kk

faint flare
#

Otherwise it places you with the highest ilvl of that level period

dense pier
#

oh what

#

So wait

#

If I do Satasha unsynced, it still lowers my itemlevel to ARR levels?

faint flare
#

Its why it only shows up on level cap dungeons, or instance that bled to level caps

open coral
#

It places you with either the highest possible ilevel for that content OR your current ilevel, whichever is lower.

#

It will never sync your ilevel up

faint flare
#

Unsync REMOVES and ignore any and all sync rules

dense pier
#

Okay

#

I'm confused now

faint flare
#

It only applies when you do it normally

#

When you do satasha sync, you're Broughy down to that level and your gear is capped to the highest ilvl of that period

dense pier
#

If I enable Undersized Party, then any dungeon I do will not affect my gear stats. However, if the duty has the "itemlevel will be synced" then even if I do undersized party it'll sync my itemlevel, but not my character's level

#

Is this correct?

remote lintel
#

no

#

unsync ignores everything

faint flare
#

Undersized party will never sync you

#

Ever

dense pier

if you toggle undersized party on then you ignore all dungeon rules

faint flare
#

Unsync REMOVES and ignore any and all sync rules

#

Thats why its called Unsync

dense pier
#

Okay so then, if every duty syncs your itemlevel when you queue for it normally

#

Why

faint flare
#

Cause you dont sync down in any shape or form

dense pier
#

do the end-game dungeons of every expansion

#

have an addtional notice for itemlevel sync

faint flare
#

Most yes

warped nest
#

Because your gear are too powerful later in the expansions? Compared to the earlier lvl 80 dungeons

faint flare
#

So it literally doesn't melt like Castrum does

dense pier
#

...?

#

That's not what I'm asking

#

I know I can't join castrum with ilevel 500

#

okay, here

#

let me use this example

faint flare
#

Castrum doesn't have the notice so it brings you down to i130

sturdy mason
#

Which ShB map has the most people actively doing Fates? Tempest?

faint flare
#

However things like Snowcloak do

dense pier
#

What are the differences there

#

in those dungeons

#

They're all level 70

#

and if I join one without an icon, i still get itemlevel synced anyways

faint flare
#

Temple of the fist brings you to 70 and syncs your gesr to 360?

idle juniper
#

whats the best way to level through pagos? just mob grinding?

faint flare
#

Opposed to 400

#

Which is the cap to that era

dense pier
#

Oh

#

Okay so

faint flare
#

However stuff like Burn came later

warped nest
#

On top of Level sync, they add a layer of item level sync

faint flare
#

So the extra gear limit isnt needed

dense pier
#

Hell's Lid, I would join and I get synced to the highest iLevel of that expansion, so say 400.

Temple of the Fist however, would lower me down to 340.

#

Is that what you're saying?

faint flare
#

Yes

warped nest
#

Yes

dense pier
#

Okay

faint flare
#

Again, its so shit doesn't die immediately

dense pier
#

That's just weird though. Why do it for some of the dungeons and not all

warped nest
#

That's what the dev decide

faint flare
#

Because the normal sync is enough for most dungeons

warped nest
#

It is enough for the purpose it is meant for

dense pier
#

True I guess

warped nest
#

They can go in and tune the ilvl sync perfectly for each dungeons, they just don't

faint flare
#

Basically dungeons that came later are fine without the extra sync, as the normal sync rules is enough to give some challenge

dense pier
#

They're just like, "Okay, for this Level 69 dungeon, faceroll. But for this 70 one, we want it to be a bit tougher, so no faceroll."

faint flare
#

But dungeons that camr early in the expansion would be face rolls without.it

#

Like i said earlier, the lv79 trial has it

#

If iy didn't

#

We could enter it with i500

#

And murder the fuck out of it

#

And have it be no challenge at all

#

So its to stop facerolling the early content

#

Since it bleeds into an area where ilvl massively goes up

#

And we avoid another Castrun/praetorium

dense pier
#

Yeah, since there is no more leveling they put another restriction

wanton shadow
#

is the airship landing in limsa lominsa lower decks?

#

this map is so hard to read for verticality lol

faint flare
#

You can get to it from.upper and lower by the elevator npc

#

The npc in the upper decks is at the inn

#

At lower decks east out of the aetheryte

#

Away from the market

remote lintel
#

bulwark hall

wanton shadow
#

ah found it

#

forgot there was a lift

dense pier
#

@wanton shadow
I suggest getting all the aetherytes(?) in the city. Upon doing so, you gain the ability to teleport to the gates of the city or the airship landing of the city

wanton shadow
#

I got the one in the lower level + acn guild

dense pier
#

Get all of them

#

In fact, make it a habit. Every time you enter a new city, get all the aether crystals asap

faint flare
#

^

dense pier
#

It makes life a whole lot easier teleporting around the city

wanton shadow
#

true ok, good idea

dense pier
#

Especially in ARR, where they LOVE sending you around the city

faint flare
#

You'll be revisiting the cities aloooooooooooooot

#

Especially when you do other jobs for their class quests

wanton shadow
#

oh yeah so now that I unlocked the airship, do I need to go to the airship in every city to travel or is there an item for it lol

#

when i did the quest I was given a mini airship or somethin

Are there discord servers for eureka specifically? Its next to impossible to find anyone interested in going and soloing is impossible unless you're ok with dying over and over again and losing all your progress.

Some for callouts for making money

#

Which are also

#

some very important items in eureka to farm

You swap to ice to regain mana, and fire for damage, I think

raw solstice

you don't want to just keep swapping between fire and ice. Ice spells in astral fire do less damage, fire spells in ice do less damage. So yeah, fire for damage, ice for MP regen

Hello! New player here, which server is the most noob friendly? Planning to play whm. Im still downloading the game atm. Im casual player probably around 4-6hours of play time a day. I want to raid but in a non hardcore manner.

raw solstice
#

for a bit of an idea of what to do throughout the leveling process

#

@mossy tartan yeah you'd keep the glamour pieces

strong saddle
#

Oh i know that but just in general if i do it for the right astral im doing good? And what about multiple enemies how would that work

raw solstice
#

there's an AoE section in that image as well, for what to do with multiple enemies

mild ermine
#

What stat should I be leveling for this relic quest with my crystal sand?

#

Does it matter?

raw solstice

it doesn't matter, it's mostly for glamour anyways

Okay good. Is there a stat that is particularly easier to level then for completion

Hello! New player here, which server is the most noob friendly? Planning to play whm. Im still downloading the game atm. Im casual player probably around 4-6hours of play time a day. I want to raid but in a non hardcore manner.
@grave totem I’d say every server has all types of people, the diversity is so big

#

You will find casuals, hard cores, RPers, crafters, gatherers in 1 server

mild ermine
#

Or are all the stats the same in terms of leveling?

#

I don't know what to do.

#

I just want to get my relic to the next stage.

simple pine
#

are all servers active? and when they become unactive do they merge or free transfer?

strong saddle
#

Is there way to see how long my dot last?

mossy tartan
#

As far as I know here in Europe every server is highly active

#

Probably the same for other regions

raw solstice
#

all stats are the same to get in that step, it really doesn't matter @mild ermine

#

pick whatever suits your fancy

mild ermine
#

Do I just dump it all into one stat then?

simple pine
#

in the past when a server became unactive what did they do to mitigate it? or has that not happened yet

raw solstice
#

well you'll eventually have to go for at least one other stat

#

but sure

#

all servers are pretty active and content is cross-server within your data center. Plus you can world visit other servers within your data center

mild ermine
#

Yeah because it doesnt say like how much of a stat i need to proceed , or if i need to cap or anything

grave totem
#

I see thanks @mossy tartan i was thinking like each server has its own culture and stuff and was afraid i might choose the hardcore one and wont be able to keep up xD

I see thanks @mossy tartan i was thinking like each server has its own culture and stuff and was afraid i might choose the hardcore one and wont be able to keep up xD
@grave totem don’t worry about it. The community is lovely and you will mostly be showered with positivity, especially playing as a healer

halcyon rune
#

@simple pine there's server crossplay between the Worlds in a Data Center. Also they try to enforce even distribution of players among all Worlds by allowing free transfers from overpopulated to underpopulated servers.

grave totem
#

Thats cool to hear @mossy tartan i come from WoW and there its either you do good parse or you get shit on. I cant wait for my download to finish😅

open coral
#

You will quickly find that for all the similarities that exist, FFXIV is nothing like WoW

halcyon rune
#

There's a tiny bit of that in very high end content. But very little.

#

also you can get banned from shitting on people's parses, as parsers are against ToS per se, but it's a gray area.

open coral
#

Technically speaking, running a parser is against ToS in XIV, so people make it a point to not advertise that they're doing so.

grave totem
#

Are there any sort of add ons on this game? Like dps meters or deadly boss mods or weakauras etc?

#

Oh nvm xD you just answered my question looll

halcyon rune
#

Unnecessary. Also against ToS.

open coral
#

There's ACT/Cactbot which is a parser like Details and reports to fflogs (which is the same site as warcraftlogs)

warped nest
#

Another one would be reshade to make your game look nicer, usually good for screenshot

halcyon rune
#

Devs allow parsers as a tool for selfimprovement, not to harass.

open coral
#

Things like DBM and WA aren't necessary though, as the functions that those serve in WoW are baked into the system for XIV

halcyon rune
#

So if you parse, keep it to yourself or people you trust.

#

Yeah, not so early on, but on later content the game does a great job at showing you what's happening and what killed you.

open coral
#

There's some inconsistency with mechanics markers in ARR content, but once you hit HW things get more standardized and remain the same for the rest of the game. So if you see a particular marker for a mechanic in one instance, the same mechanic will always be telegraphed the same way going forward.

halcyon rune
#

When will it be the day they retroactively implement markers on old content? 😦

open coral
#

"Please look forward to it" Yoshithink

halcyon rune
#

Just like egi glams yikes

#

Yo, the ||Eden variants|| would make nice egi glams.

open coral
#

Yeah, but then what would you do about Summon 1 and 3? Have them share E6?

I guess? you get both from E6.

i cant wait to get out of this area so i can play with my friend

elfin bronze
#

im new and want to ask if jobs in this game really important or u could ignore them and still be fine at end game ?

leaden ginkgo
#

every job can clear all content

#

pick whichever you think is cool

open coral
#

You can level with a single class (job) for the entire MSQ for 1-80 with no issues.

#

This is keeping in mind that the lexicon for this game qualifies both combat classes and gathering/production classes as "jobs".

elfin bronze
#

errhh i love carpenter but not sure how that job could clear a dungeon 😄

open coral
#

CRP is a profession, not a job

leaden ginkgo

You can ignore DoH/DoL content and clear the game just fine

You can't finish base ShB without finishing one of the chains of role quests right?

get access

GSM is in Ul'dah, LTW is in Gridania

also does repairing equipment increase their lvl? or i gotta craft these items in order to lvl up that profession?

only augment vendor

and the vendor for poetic only sells ryumryaku weapons

remote lintel

then youre looking at the wrong vendors

there should be like 2 on each side

ionic hazel
#

nvm

open coral

Ryumaku gear should be under the DoM/DoW I categories.

theres part 1 and part 2

DoM/DoW II is always the final tier.

How are the queue times for dps, tanks and healers? Like estimate waiting times?

vagrant scroll
#

i normally get through dungeon queues in <15min as DPS

open coral
#

Tanks and healers generally have very quick queues <5 minutes. DPS will frequently have queues over 10m

vagrant scroll
#

instant for tank

remote lintel
#

dps probably 20 min, tanks anywhere from insta to about 10 min, healers insta

open coral
#

It depends a lot on time of day and datacenter region

grave totem
#

I see. Thanks! Dps queue times not that bad then

open coral
#

Not usually no.

remote lintel
#

i mean depends

#

it limits at what times you can play as a dps

late nights for your time zone usually 30 mins

open coral
#

Would Gubal be better for leveling than any of the 60 dungeons?
@crimson wind Yes. The level 60 dungeons won't give a ton of xp because they weren't designed to do so in the first place.

slate arrow
#

30 days are from the Starter Edition so you should be good

crimson wind
#

k thank you

open coral
#

noob question, how do i enter a dungeon lol
@zenith pasture Either use the duty finder, or click on the white glowing portal at the entrance location (which will open the duty finder menu with that instance checked)

zenith pasture
#

i see party finder, is that the samething?

open coral
#

No, party finder is something entirely different

#

Party finder is a way to form a full group on your own, under your own terms.

zenith pasture
#

how do i access the duty finder (hot key or location)

open coral
#

Main Menu > Duty > Duty Finder

zenith pasture
#

i see it, ty.

open coral
#

I'd give you the hotkey, but I play on PS4 with a controller, so I don't actually know what the hotkey is for kbm input.

simple shore
#

I think the default is U

zenith pasture
#

yea its default U for kbm

simple shore
#

I usually dont answer on those though because ive changed the majority of my default UI keybinds

zenith pasture
#

so i played a while back, and it looks like i was making profit from selling iron, and it looks like ive invested a lot in smithing/armorcraft is it worth to lvl it up more? currently lvl 24 armorer. also is there like a max lvl for the profession?

ornate gale
#

If my friend who has trial rn were to buy starter edition, he wouldn't get heavensward right cus that expansion thing comes on Aug 11?

simple shore
#

All classes and jobs have a level cap of 80

open coral
#

Max level for crafting/gathering professions is the same as max level for combat classes.

zenith pasture
#

but checking the prices for iron now, it looks pretty low compared to when it was

simple shore
#

Well yeah. You're talking about a material that's not only no longer a "primary material", but one that can literally be bought from a vendor

open coral
#

@ornate gale Players who have the starter edition when the update happens on the 11th will have their starter edition updated as well.

#

What we don't know is whether trial players will also benefit from that update.

ornate gale
#

Like current trial players?

open coral
#

Right

ornate gale
#

Oh I was asking earlier about that

#

someone responded Yes but

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

open coral
#

Basically, we suspect that current trial players will probably benefit from the update, but we're not positive because they haven't said anything definitive

simple shore
#

if you mouse over Iron Ingot you'll see "Shop Selling Price" on it. anything with that phrase on it is something a vendor somewhere sells. if it says "(Restricted)" it means that its locked behind something, usually a beast tribe rep.

#

In this case it isnt even restricted. You can just flat out buy Iron Ingots from basic vendors (housing merchants if memory serves) for 68 gil.

#

Right now if you want to make money with crafting, you pretty much need to :
A. make housing items
B. Make items that are used for ishgardian restoration power levelling
C. Make Neo-Ishgardian gear at 80 (that will see a surge in demand soon most likely)
D. Make anything that is a turnin for something that someone is too lazy / unable to make themselves.

#

There's more of course, but those are the basic easy ones

#

in terms of basic to explain, not basic to do

open coral
#

E. Make high-demand glamour items

At this point in the tier it will be pretty hard. Most statics are either done with their clears, or are doing E7S/E8S progression rather than E5S.

open coral
#

You get left side gear + weapon from the MSQ NPC who isn't Grenolt but looks like him after you give him the stone you got from completing the role quest.

All the class quests I did before always awarded something that I'd probablym end up using for glam

When's that?

He turns into a vendor

dense pier
#

Must be after I finished base MSQ

open coral
#

Uhh... level 80 MSQ

dense pier
#

Kk

open coral
#

There's a point where, if you haven't finished your role quests, the MSQ will specifically tell you that you can't go on without doing so. Because Not-Grenolt requires inspiration, which he can only get from the stone you get in the course of the level 80 role quest.

spare plinth
#

this is more of a question about the series, but why are black mages called black mages?

#

they seem to fulfill the mage role in rpg, but they sound like they do the dark arts

elfin edge
#

oh, so the role quest isn't just there for the lv80 class quest

leaden ginkgo
#

I got some silver feathers from my friend referral, what's the best way to use them?

open coral
#

Most likely because elemental magic has often been tied to the "dark arts", historically. Black Mage has just always been what they call elemental mages in the FF franchise @spare plinth

#

@elfin edge Nope! They tied it in with the MSQ so you have to do at least one of them!

leaden ginkgo
#

@spare plinth you can figure it out when you do the job quests

elfin edge
#

Ah okay; I'm still in the middle of SB but I saw the message they put up for finishing the lv70 class quest

open coral
#

@leaden ginkgo You can use them to purchase glamour items from the Calamity Salvager iirc.

halcyon grail
#

Is it a good idea to leave quests I’m way higher than so I have things to do if I come through with another Job?

leaden ginkgo
#

@spare plinth black mages are called black because they perform forbidden spells and their ancestors caused obliteration with those spells

whole wasp
#

sidequest are optional and have crap exp no matter what. Do msq no matter your level

warped nest
#

Unless you maxed out

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it a good idea to leave quests I’m way higher than so I have things to do if I come through with another Job?
@halcyon grail yeah, for alt jobs, the best thing to do is let those quests available

warped nest
#

Then maybe use a different job to eat exp from msq

whole wasp
#

If you mean in the whole series. Black mage do damage. White mage heals. That was the simplest explanation in ff1 so people immediately knew what they do.

leaden ginkgo
#

some side quests can gear you up too

halcyon grail
#

Are guildleves helpful for raising jobs?

elfin edge
#

the earlier craftleves are useful for crafters

leaden ginkgo
#

If you mean in the whole series. Black mage do damage. White mage heals. That was the simplest explanation in ff1 so people immediately knew what they do.
@whole wasp they just want to know why they're called "Black" because they think it's just the generic elemental caster

this is more of a question about the series, but why are black mages called black mages?
@leaden ginkgo

How do i go about locking my hot bars so i cant edit them when attacking?

What's the best way to level crafters from 60-70? Ishgard restoration? Leves? Something else?

wicked lark
#

I cant set it between attacking and not attacking?

whole wasp
#

I thought they qere asking more generally in the final fantasy as a series which is not infomation you can get in-game.

#

@deft quiver ishgard and customs.

deft quiver
#

alright

warped nest
#

Leve is very good source but it is limited by your level quota, if it ran out, you can't submit level and you gonna wait for it to regen (3 leve per 12 hours, 99 max)

whole wasp
#

@wicked lark no. Just click the lockpad again to open for editing. Theres no combat functions. :<

warped nest
#

Ishgard is good in that you can grind it hard over a weekend

dense pier
#

So the crystal or w/e that we give to not-gerolt or w/e

#

gives us equipment or glam?

whole wasp
#

Leves can also be expensive compared to ishgard. If you have $$,courier leves are pretty fast too.

dense pier
#

Cause I want to know if I need to get my healer role quest done too

warped nest
#

Equipment, i430

dense pier
#

Just finished caster and tank

#

oh

whole wasp
#

Equipment but its low ilvl.

dense pier
#

So definitely, then

leaden ginkgo
#

Paladins are supposed to gather their power through deity devotion, but in this game they're just fancy gladiators that found a stone

dense pier
#

That's better than what I got lol

simple shore
#

There's....story reasons to complete all the role quests, as well

dense pier
#

Eh

simple shore
#

Something unlocks once you complete all four

open coral
#

gives us equipment or glam?
@dense pier Sort of. You'll finish the MSQ that asks you to give him inspiration, and then he'll turn into a "vendor" who distributes free gear for any job that you have completed the level 80 role quest for

dense pier
#

I never really cared for the story quests for classes, except for the end of AST and the end of PLD ARR

simple shore
#

Yeah but this is "First" story, not "Class" story.

dense pier
open coral
#

It's actual gear

#

Level 420

dense pier
#

No no

#

if you do all 4

open coral
#

Oh

whole wasp
#

Lore reasons.

open coral
#

Doing all 4 is just vanity

dense pier
#

Ah kk

open coral
#

One of these days I'll level a tank and get the fifth story.

whole wasp
#

@leaden ginkgo basically. Halone is well-respected as the deity of war and paladins call upon her. If you havent noticed, each city-state is devoted to a single deity.

#

Halone is no exception

wise acorn
#

Between Sch and Ast which of the two are more viable?

whole wasp
#

They are all viable but ast unlocks later.

wise acorn
#

Reasonable enough.

simple shore
#

AST is probably the most "difficult" healer to play, if that's a factor.

#

A bad AST is very obvious compared to a bad WHM/SCH.

vocal canyon
#

when should we expect info on moonfire 2020?

remote lintel
#

how does lightspeed work with rezz

simple shore
#

Exactly how it works for everything else

remote lintel
#

??

simple shore
#

Read the tooltip?

remote lintel
#

I did lightspeed and rezz and it didn't work

vocal canyon
#

it takes 2.5s off rez, reduces cost by 50%

simple shore
#

Define "didnt work"

remote lintel
#

oh right

vocal canyon
#

it doesnt make it instant, just shorter

dense pier
#

I love playing AST

simple shore
#

Yeah it literally says that on the tooltip for Lightspeed.

remote lintel
#

I'm so used to lightspeed making things insta haha

dense pier
#

It feels so satisfying getting off those malefics, cards, and keeping tank/everyone alive with oGCDs without missing a beat

#

but then it feels less satisfying when you see your dps...

mild ermine
#

Can I do anything with collectibles I can't turn in?

dense pier
#

?

#

For Rowena's?

simple shore
#

Throw them on the ground

mild ermine
#

Yeah.

simple shore
#

If its below minimum collectability its garbage

proud willow
#

right-click and Reduce Quality

mild ermine
#

Darn for real? Just useless? ;w;

dense pier
#

Ground, or save them and maybe next day it'll... show up?

#

Oh

#

Yeah

#

Wait

simple shore
#

or, yeah, you could do that

dense pier
#

Can't you lower it's quality

proud willow
#

and it will become a normal item

dense pier
#

lower quality, vendor or dismantle

mild ermine
#

I ... dunno.

simple shore
#

Still not gonna get much out of it

mild ermine
#

I cant vendor

dense pier
#

Better than the ground

proud willow
#

to be used, sold, or vendored

dense pier
#

You can vendor if you lower quality

#

Collectibles are like "HQ"

mild ermine
#

Ohhhh

dense pier
#

You can reduce quality, turning it from collectible to a normal item

mild ermine
#

Better than nothing I suppose

dense pier
#

Yeah

#

once it's a regular item, you can sell it or dismantle it to get some materials back

#

The higher your desynthesis the more you get back

leaden ginkgo
#

or hoard for the future

#

I'm a hoarder

dense pier
#

It's under-collectible value

#

no point hoarding it

#

he'll never be able to turn it in

#

Besides

#

Hoarding is only for people who have real life $$ to spare

leaden ginkgo
#

are you calling me poor?

dense pier
#

You're a hoarder

#

So thus you have money to spare

leaden ginkgo
#

😦

dense pier
#

because you pay for additional retainers

leaden ginkgo
#

I don't pay

dense pier
#

Then idk how you can hoard with only 2 retainers lol

steep heron
#

very slowly

dense pier
#

Slowly hoarding doesn't increase the slots of your retainers lol

mild ermine
#

How do I increased the collectability rating? Is it mostly gear based? It's a level 60 collectible and most of my gear is 61-62 HQ

#

But I can't seem to get 450 consistently

dense pier
#

If your gear is 61-62 hq and you can't get a collectible of level 60 higher level...

simple shore
#

Karma what specific item are you trying to craft

#

and what is your current Craftsmanship / Control / CP

dense pier
#

You need to do some research or the item you are trying to craft is too stronk

mild ermine
#

Not craft but gather in this case.

dense pier
#

let me see if I can get the rotations really quick

#

Oh

simple shore
#

Oh nvm then

dense pier
#

Well, there's 2 methods to it

simple shore
#

There's a rotation for that too but

dense pier
#

The 600gp method, or the "rng" method

simple shore
#

Much different

simple shore
#

and frankly i havent done gathering collectables since i came back from hiatus so i have no idea what current rotations are

dense pier
#

Sorry about the font, the person who made it made a poor choice of font lol

simple shore
#

At least its not fucking comic sans

dense pier
#

This font is harder to read than comic sans

#

Comic sans is at least easily legible

#

@mild ermine
The rotation is basically, Impulsive Appraisal spam. If you get a Discerning Eye proc, you then spam Instinctual Appraisal.

#

This method is pure RNG, so you can collect stuff without ever spending a single point of GP

mild ermine
#

My friend taught me this earlier.

#

Is there a more consistent method that isn't rng?

#

You mentioned 600gp

simple shore
#

Not really

dense pier
#

I mean

simple shore
#

RNG is a factor regardless

#

Unless you somehow are able to only use the not-RNG appraisal, which generally you cant

dense pier
#

The 600gp method just tries to brute force it

#

There is this

#

With this, you open with discerning eye

#

and if no proc, use discerning eye again

#

basically

#

it's brute forcing it, instead of relying on rng

#

Though idk if that'd be better

#

Since I like the rng 1 a lot more since I can cover a lot more timed nodes

simple shore
#

Just carry 99 hi-cordials on you, obviously.

dense pier
#

cooldowns

simple shore
#

I know

whole wasp
#

yea i use that one, i always get the required collectability, the only difference RNG wise is how many i get

#

between 3 to 5 on procs

leaden ginkgo
#

what's advisable to level first, gatherers or crafters?

#

or is there a leveling guide for that stuff?

simple shore
#

Gatherers

#

They level much faster/easier, and having them levelled will allow you to supply your crafters

tardy storm
#

gatherers are extremely easy to level, a few hours in the diadem and you can go 10-80

#

crafters are not as easy to boost, as they require some materials from the Diadem and some materials from outside it to make their boosts

remote lintel
#

buying mats for ishgard is cheap

simple shore
#

idk. diadem mats are cheap. not-diadem mats are not.

tardy storm
#

Hahaha, except when the ishgard restoration items require something everone DESPISES to farm for

#

so its super expensive

simple shore
#

Tiger leathers go for like 5k each on my server. I wouldnt qualify that as cheap, for example.

#

Not when you need ~100+ of them

tardy storm
#

Weaver is decently cheap ime, but it did cost me a little bit to grind, as an example

#

ishgard restoration makes everything very easy to grind to max with

mild ermine
#

I just want to get my botanist to 80 while working on collecting yellow scripts for blue scripts for, crystal sand, for my relic.

#

.... Wow.

ionic hazel
#

is there a way to only see my party members in raids

#

i mean alliance raids

warped nest
#

No

junior yacht
#

you cannot control who appears on-screen

warped nest
#

You can tone down the visual effects from other players

#

That's it

whole wasp
#

you can change the color of your party member's name plate so its easier to see

#

Yeah if the default blue green ain't cutting it for you

white ether
#

When does the patch go out

proud willow
#

Patch 5.3 will be Aug 11, servers likely going down starting Aug 10

leaden ginkgo
#

Best zone to do leves as a lvl 70 miner with no access to SB?

remote lintel
#

does new game+ force you to redo dungeons as well

elfin edge
#

I think you can still get pretty far with firmament, right?

#

in what's that place

candid raptor
#

Should

elfin edge
#

diadem

simple shore
#

I'm a bit confused though

#

Why dont you have access to ShB?

elfin edge
#

maybe not there yet in MSQ?

whole wasp
#

msq locked i think

elfin edge
#

like I have a lv 71 main but still only like halfway thru SB heh

leaden ginkgo
#

@simple shore I play at a slow pace to enjoy the game

#

I have only recently unlocked Rhalgar's Reach

elfin edge
#

oh wow, you're even further back than I am lol

leaden ginkgo
#

When you are a lvl 76 DRG and everyone constantly asks why tf you still not in ShB

remote lintel
#

change class

wise acorn
#

Have they made artifact weapon quests any easier?

remote lintel
#

what

#

theyre just class quests

wise acorn
#

No no

#

Like the lux weapons and stuff

remote lintel
#

relic

wise acorn
#

Thats the one

elfin edge
#

I think the drop rates might have gotten boosted since they were first introduced?

remote lintel
#

for shadowbringers yes
