awoken stage of the lvl 60 relic

#

@limpid lantern yep

Ty ^^

#

How come my hotbar 8 still had ninja skills on it when i switch to lancer ?

proven bay
#

It might be a shared hotbar?

wintry chasm
#

^

#

Hotbar 8 is shared by default

proven bay
#

Right, that'd be it then

tidal yarrow
#

how to disable the "????" replacing curse words?

wintry chasm
#

I think it's... character config -> hotbar settings -> sharing

#

You can disable sharing on whatever hotbar you want

proven bay
#

@tidal yarrow It's a profanity filter

limpid lantern
#

Yes found it ! Turned it off :)

proven bay
#

You can change it in character settings iirc

wintry chasm
#

^

#

I think it's in the chat logs section somewhere

limpid lantern
#

Currently using the double tap r2 or l2 to get 8 more slots and put long cooldown stuff on there

#

Is there a way btw where i can put hotbar 8 on the left side of the screen vertical as ps4 ?

simple shore
#

Its usually good to have at least one shared bar

#

And idk console, but thats what i do on PC

blissful rapids
#

could i dm someone? im having trouble with the square enix website

wintry chasm
#

Just ask here

simple shore
wintry chasm
#

Is there a way btw where i can put hotbar 8 on the left side of the screen vertical as ps4 ?
@limpid lantern there should be a way to make the hotbar always visible and IIRC move it but as far as making it vertical the only way I can think of doing that is just get a regular PC hotbar visible and put the skills on that

#

Of course you couldn't really use that hotbar but you'd still see the cooldowns and whatnot on it

limpid lantern
#

Yes thats exactly what i want tbh

#

For those 90 second and 120 second cooldown skills that i have on the double tap bar wich i normally cant see

white ether
#

am I tripping or did the quest after level 50 get really slow? They just throw me countless rings and necklaces and bad exp

proven bay
#

You've finished the ARR story

#

Now you're doing filler quests added in patches before the Heavensward expansion

white ether
#

🤦‍♂️ well how many or how long until I get into heavensward

#

I'm currently in scout in distress

proven bay
#

Depends on how soon it is since you started

#

But it's 100 total quests

wintry chasm
#

Which isn't nearly as long as 2.0 and frankly the story is better tbh.

white ether
#

You're fucking joking

proven bay
#

I wish I was

white ether
#

Holy shit up glad I was right

#

It's so weird to go from slaying the ultma weapon to playing hide and seek

wintry chasm
#

That sounds like patch 2.2

white ether
#

Well what % or quest number am I at?

wintry chasm
#

20% through

#

IIRC all the patches are 19 quests except the last one

white ether
#

Bruhhhhhhhhhhh

proven bay
#

I just counted

#

You have 65 quests left before HW

limpid lantern
#

Alright i have 8 bar as a pc bar on the left side now

white ether
#

BREG

wintry chasm
#

Oh that's better

proven bay
#

You're currently almost done with patch 2.2

white ether
#

NO IT ISNT

limpid lantern
#

But this vertical 8 bar isnt the same as my regular 8 bar. How do i out stuff on the vertical one ?

white ether
#

Can't believe I have to waste my day offgrinding this smh

proven bay
#

The story is good though

#

If you're into that

wintry chasm
#

You'd need to drag, if you have a mouse you can plug in it'd make it a lot easier @limpid lantern

proven bay
#

It's only a shitty experience if you don't like the story or don't play the game for the story

analog gate
#

the ones between ARR and HW are particularly long, others in the future won't be as tedious

thorn robin
#

question about the Ronkan gear from 5.0 (the one you bought with Goetia) Can you still get it?

limpid lantern
#

Oh yeah let met get a mouse then because dragging the bar over was a lot of small drags, that wont work with skills xD

wintry chasm
#

It's only a shitty experience if you don't like the story or don't play the game for the story
That and there isn't a sense of progression through leveling

limpid lantern
#

That should be it then, thanks a lot again calisaie :D

white ether
#

The story is ok by majority of it feels like being forced to watch an entire season of filler

wintry chasm
#

question about the Ronkan gear from 5.0 (the one you bought with Goetia) Can you still get it?
Through ShB hunt currency yes

#

The story is ok by majority of it feels like being forced to watch an entire season of filler
@white ether ARR patch quests is far from filler

#

It's frankly more important than the base game

white ether
#

Man I just wanted to play gnb

viscid gull
#

Are there any good and up to date tutorials for tanking for noobs?

wintry chasm
#

Put tank stance on, aoe mobs in dungeons, don't die

#

EZ

proven bay
#

What do you want to know? @viscid gull

wintry chasm
#

I wouldn't sweat it so much as to look for a guide

white ether
#

I don't mean story wise more like filler quest

proven bay
#

Tanking is very overwhelming the first time you do it. Having a guide helped me a ton

viscid gull
#

Well, I'm interested in tanking, but I don't really know a lot about how you're supposed to position and everything and I don't want to actually throw if I'm in a dungeon or something.

proven bay
#

Just DM me btw, and I'll answer your questions

white ether
#

I learned tanking from wow lol

analog gate
#

!faq tankguide

zinc orbitBOT
proven bay
#

Or use that

analog gate
#

the first link helped me tons

white ether
#

It's easy to tank lol

wintry chasm
#

Oh we have one of those?

white ether
#

Just lure all of the mobs to you

proven bay
#

It looks simple at a glance. It's a lot more complicated than you think

white ether
#

And keep aggro up let dps and healers do the work

#

I can't figure out when to use shirk

wintry chasm
#

Use that in 8-man trials and raids when you need to tankswap, but even then provoke works fairly well for that

viscid gull
#

I can't figure out when to use shirk
@white ether
I've heard about shirk being used in tank swaps or something.

proven bay
#

It's kind of useless unless you're gonna swap main tanking with the off tank

wintry chasm
#

Tankswapping is more of a hard content mechanic

white ether
#

Oh ok

wintry chasm
#

Not something you usually see in normal difficulty content

viscid gull
#

Are cleaves the attacks that get telegraphed by an orange cone?

wintry chasm
#

Not always

#

They can also just be untelegraphed conal attacks

#

So you always as a rule want them to not face your party

sudden wolf
#

Which tank has the weakest set of defensive cooldowns?

#

Gnb?

wintry chasm
#

Uhhh

white ether
#

Well what do I do with all the dungeons I have? It seems odd to have them all be level 50

wintry chasm
#

Those are all the dungeons released in patches

#

Do them if you want

#

You definitely want to do the 24-man raid though

white ether
#

Should I attempt them at all?

sudden wolf
#

Yes

white ether
#

How far am I from the raid

sudden wolf
#

What level?

wintry chasm
#

Raids aren't in main story

#

You can unlock it now

white ether
#

52

#

Wait really?

sudden wolf
#

Unlockable

#

Yep

white ether
#

Breh

simple shore
#

Crystal Tower series of raids unlocks via "Legacy of Allag". Its right in front of Rising Stones.

wintry chasm
#

24-man quest is given by the Outlandish Man in Mor Dhona

white ether
#

Ok well where can I find my first raud

#

Oh

#

Should I just spam those to level up?

wintry chasm
#

No

#

If you really really really want to get GNB now use Palace of the Dead

simple shore
#

No, you should do the raid to have it done before you reach ShB, but you should be focusing on doing MSQ otherwise

#

"level up" is not a priority

#

because MSQ is whats gonna gate you

#

not level

wintry chasm
#

Unless you're absolutely dying for a job I guess

#

I can appreciate wanting to RP and get a job early ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

white ether
#

I mean I'm not dying for it but gnb was the goal

#

Where is palace of the undead?

#

Wait

wintry chasm
#

Quest unlock is in Gridania adventurer guild

simple shore
#

"The House That Death Built", unlock in New Gridania near the Inn.

white ether
#

Isn't it in a town where you level up fast?

#

Ok

wintry chasm
#

^ after that Quarrymill

#

To queue into it

white ether
#

It's like a quick level up but you only keep a %

simple shore
#

not really sure what you mean

#

But it sounds incorrect

white ether
#

You keep a small % of what you actually got

wintry chasm
#

No

#

You just get X xp based on floor/what level you are outside of Palace of the Dead

white ether
#

Oh! Thank you

wintry chasm
#

No %

leaden ginkgo
#

Which one is better,Cordial or Hi cordial?

wintry chasm
#

Hi cordial

leaden ginkgo
#

Really?why?

simple shore
#

.....its in the name

#

lol

white ether
#

One more thing how should I worry about armor?

simple shore
#

300 GP vs. 400 GP

tidal yarrow
#

@tidal yarrow
thanks

wintry chasm
#

But yeah it's great for leveling 1-60 if you spam floors 51-60 Zesh

#

@white ether get the ironworks gear in Mor Dhona and don't need to worry a bit whatsoever

#

For the foreseeable future anyway

white ether
#

When should I worry about armor?

simple shore
#

You shouldnt really ever have to "worry" about it.

wintry chasm
#

When you need it

#

But the main story will always give you what you need

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it because hi cordial has a faster gp regen?

simple shore
#

If you're doing MSQ and keeping to things, the game will furnish you with most of what you need. Dungeon drops will take care of the rest.

white ether
#

Ok gotcha

simple shore
#

Its not "faster", its instant. Both of them are.

#

again. 300 GP vs. 400 GP.

white ether
#

One last thing, I'm doing the quest a relic reborn and its telling me to deliver material Enhanced barbarians bardiche but I don't have that item with me

wintry chasm
#

Worth mentioning back on raids there is a ARR 8-man raid which has a good story tied to it but it's a bit different than the 8-man raids in the expansions. It has no normal mode and it's just really hard by default so most people just unsync those fights and do them at level 80 easily. If you care about story I'd suggesting unlocking those and doing those unsynced or try to find crazy people to do them synced if you prefer

simple shore
#

Zesh you can skip those for now

#

Thats literally just for glamour these days

white ether
#

Ok

wintry chasm
#

@white ether buy that weapon high quality or craft it and put materia in it. You don't really need to do the relic though. It gets outdated easily and is yeah, only for glams now

#

It's just not worth the effort unless you like the look

white ether
#

Thanks for the help y'all

simple shore
#

Not to mention that relic questlines tend to be....extremely time consuming

#

Even unsyncing the requirements at 80

white ether
#

Is there anything important I should be doing after ARR

simple shore
#

Literally MSQ until you get to Heavensward.

white ether
#

Kk gotcha

wintry chasm
#

MSQ to HW is technically ARR though

#

/s

#

But yeah really your priorities is just MSQ and raids tbh

valid pecan
#

Any fellow summoner can give me a advice which pet should I use, I am lvl 46. Upgraded version of summon 1 or summon 3?

simple shore
#

Like, the answer to almost any question you have until you finish the MSQ at 80, is "Go do MSQ. Go do your job quests."

white ether
#

Should I max out my main then alts

#

Okb

simple shore
#

Yes

Garuda for AoE
Ifrit for single target @valid pecan

wraith plank
#

how to repair my gear?

simple shore
#

Titan pretty much only gets pulled out if your healer is a total derp or you're solo and need the extra survival.

wintry chasm
#

Easiest way is just to go to a repairman in a settlement or city or really just about anywhere

#

They have a hammer icon

simple shore
#

Either talk to a Mender (hammer icon on the map) or if you're a crafter of sufficient level you can repair it yourself.

#

Likely the second option of that wont happen for a long while if you're asking

wraith plank
#

ya wont happen cuz i just srated xP

#

another question there a quest call too close from home it says report to the central shroud

#

and there green circle but nothing there

#

what should i do?

simple shore
#

Green circle? Sounds like a leve. You should be disregarding leves at your current state of progress

fresh lodge
#

Yeah its a leve

half kraken
#

What do I do with fish from ocean fishing, just sell em normally?

simple shore
#

However to complete it, you need to initiate the leve by going to your quest journal

wintry chasm
#

^ and going to the leve at the bottom of the list

fresh lodge
#

Basically how leves work is you go to the green circle, then open up your journal to start it

#

But combat leves aren't worth it

simple shore
#

Combat leves are very ineffective

#

And should be ignored

fresh lodge
#

I'd just focus on the main story if I were you

wraith plank
#

ya it worked

#

ty

vocal shell
#

@half kraken currently don’t have a use outside of angler canvases. I’d just desynth them or vendor

wraith plank
#

is there a button for auto walk?

vocal shell
#

R

fresh lodge
#

R by default will move you in a straight line

#

But there is no auto pathing

wraith plank
#

ya that what i meant

#

ty

#

you are a big help guys ❤️

grim ocean
#

do you auto attack as a caster during rotation?

fresh lodge
#

Not really

#

You can't auto attack while casting, and you should always be casting

grim ocean
#

ok thx

viscid gull
#

About tanks and such, I read that mitigation is often used to counteract tank busters. How do I recognise when a mob is about to throw out a tank buster?

simple shore
#

You have to know the boss, there's no particular indication that a specific ability is a TB other than its name. That said, most bosses that have a TB in dungeons will use it as their first casted ability, but not always.

#

Comes with experience knowing what to react to

#

The ability names are usually common sense "this is probably a TB"

leaden ginkgo
#

At the risk of getting mobbed, before I get into ff14 can anyone tell me if there's free companies that aren't filled with this "anime/weeb" stuff? I'm not judging just I'm old and don't get it and just want to kill shit and not stand in fire

#

*I'm well aware its final fantasy

simple shore
#

Yeah, you just have to filter through.

vocal shell
#

There certainly are but you’d have to look specifically for those like minded people.

leaden ginkgo
#

so long as they exist that'll do thanks

simple shore
#

TL:DR if the name sounds like a duck, its probably a duck

leaden ginkgo
#

the picture usually says it all - just all the pictures seem to be saying more than i want to hear so far

vocal shell
#

You’ll be spending a bit of time on it since this is a final fantasy game, but i’m sure there’s one out there

hallow bloom
#

is there an option for auto dismount?

#

so i can walk up to a mob press a charge or something and i dismount

simple shore
#

The button you have bound to sheath/unsheath your weapon will also dismount you

#

I usually use that

acoustic island
#

does control help with quick synth?

blissful rapids
#

getting lots of error when trying to purchase via mog could i get some help? consistent Error
The site has encountered a technical error. If the error is not resolved upon reloading, please contact the Square Enix Information Center for assistance. when trying to purchase and error i2501 if i try to add crysta

twilit arch
#

i2501 is a broad error in that something is triggering their system. Some suggestions to fix it are: try a different browser, turn off any vpn you may be using, try using mobile data. If none of that works, contact support

acoustic island
#

it also gives me that error when my card rejects the purchase because it thinks it's fraud

rocky hamlet
#

generally speaking what is needed more, tanks or healers?

wintry chasm
#

Healers I guess if you want to be specific but tanks and healers both enjoy fairly instant queue times

simple pine
#

how do you open "sprout" chat?

crude marten
#

i just bought ffxiv, what is the sprout icon next to my name?

#

Or plant

median locust
#

Means you're a new adventurer

simple pine
#

its so people (hopefully) help you

white ether
#

@wintry chasm what is the quest the outlandish man gives you?

#

There's no quest marker on how m

shrewd owl
#

Legacy of allag

white ether
#

On him

wintry chasm
#

"Legacy of Allag"

#

You either did it or its in your journal

crude marten
#

i see.. and beside the main quest, is there any missable mounts/costumes from ongoing events, if any?

median locust
#

@simple pine You have to get invited first to the Novice Network, I would ask in any main city for a mentor to invite you to it

wintry chasm
#

If you did do it next quest should be at Saint Coinach's Find to the South East @white ether

white ether
#

I found it thanks

crude marten
#

the itenerant moogle exchange seems like a time limited event, should i devote some time to it?

wintry chasm
#

The only item there you can't get again is that 100 time reward accessory

#

This is limited though

#

I think there is 2 hours till it goes away

crude marten
#

an accessory huh, guess im not gonna do this

median locust
#

Only one item from it is exclusive so it's fine if you skip it, and it's just a neckerchief with a shiba inu face on it

crude marten
#

should i join a guild? or am i just dead weight until i finish the main quest?

wintry chasm
#

Free Companies are social

#

Not raid orientated

#

So no you wouldn't be dead weight

crude marten
#

oh i see, ro make friends then, cool.

wintry chasm
#

People make "statics" for raids which is literally just the official unofficial term for a group of players coming together to do raids

crude marten
#

I see.. okay I'll find some accessible ones that log in same times as me

#

guess i have a long way to go before i get a new mount or one that can fly

median locust
#

All mounts can fly once you have flying unlocked

#

even bears that clearly shouldn't be able to lol

crude marten
#

ahh even my chocobo then

median locust
#

yep

#

it flaps its tiny wings

crude marten
#

will there be other mounts other than the chocobo that dont require irl money

median locust
#

Most mounts don't require money

shrewd owl
#

Yeah plenty from just doing the main quests

median locust
#

Well, other than buying the game lol

simple shore
#

The vast majority of mounts do not require IRL

crude marten
#

nice! i bought the full collection

#

it seems i dont get any bonus though

median locust
#

First mount you can get is from getting Conjurer to level 30

#

after that from lv50 onwards, the main story gives you one every once in a while

crude marten
#

Yes! i got the unicorn

#

not my thing though, so I've been sticking with the chocobo

oak ice
#

There are lots of story mounts, a bunch you can get from the gold saucer, extreme trial mounts, savage mounts, tank mounts etcetc

median locust
#

There's definitely a good handful of store mounts but most are mounts you grind for or buy

oak ice
#

Beast tribes also have mounts

crude marten
#

lol maybe the people im with right now just started as well

#

I'm only lvl 45

#

Ninja

wintry chasm
#

it seems i dont get any bonus though
Complete edition =/ collector's edition

crude marten
#

i do have a white mage because DPS queue times are horrible sometimes

gaunt brook
#

Is there a way to replay job quest instances? i wanna redo the level 70 samurai quest since its fun

median locust
#

Don't think it's possible for job quests yet, they'll have to add it to New Game +

gaunt brook
#

aw man

#

that sucks

#

the job quests r so fun

median locust
#

yeah I'd love to replay the Dark Knight ones sometime, lol. Most likely in a future patch.

strong saddle
#

Hey im new to lancer and i'm level 11. How do lancers normally deal with multi targets?

gaunt brook
#

For now you just focus whichever ones a major issue, you dont get a proper AOE until 40

strong saddle
#

40? Bruh

median locust
#

You can't until you get your first AoE skill at level 40 yeah

gaunt brook
#

yeah tis kinda shitty, but you do get some of the best Trial Experiences

#

so just stick it out for now if you can, if you find you really dont like it try switching classes up

median locust
#

!action doom spike

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Doom Spike** : lvl 40 DRG (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 170 to all enemies in a straight line before you.

median locust
#

This eventually turns into a 3-part AoE combo

#

Plus some other off GCD abilities you get are AoE

#

So it has a good handful of AoE tools, it just doesn't get them early on lol

supple pollen
#

just coming to the game after 4 years, im 44 bard right now and find the class rather boring. is it going to get interesting later? or would i be better served going red mage or samurai once 50?

#

i also want toplay pure dps, not support and stuff, not my playstyle

gaunt brook
#

Samurai is the major Pure DPS Character

#

literally no support skills whatsoever, so just hit 50 on bard then try out samurai and red mage since you dont lose anything by picking them up

simple shore
#

Bard doesnt really "actively" support though, so not sure if this is a "you're bored because of the rotation" or "you're bored because of the theme"

median locust
#

All jobs are kinda boring before lv50-60, so it's more about, do you like the direction Bard seems to be going?

gaunt brook
#

if you dont like them all you lose is a free spot in the soul crystal section

median locust
#

aka procs based gameplay while rotating songs and keeping up dots

strong saddle
#

I'm on aether server with the exp boost atm

simple shore
#

Like, the vast majority of Bard's "support" is keeping the songs going (which you just passively press once every 20-30 seconds) and they benefit you more than anyone else

median locust
#

All jobs will feel boring before 50

strong saddle
#

do the same rotation over and over

#

A con all mmo classes have

#

well most

gaunt brook
#

oh dont worry then, if you want to level a second class you can do it really fast

supple pollen
#

i guess i dont want to play a class with songs... tbh

gaunt brook
#

so just play around a bit, all you lose is some time

strong saddle
#

lol time

supple pollen
#

yea, think ill try samurai first

#

haiiiiiiiiiiiiyeaahhhhhh

median locust
#

Red Mage is easier to play but could be more fun/interesting. Samurai is a tad more advanced but it's really fun

gaunt brook
#

enjoy

simple shore
#

If you want to be "basically pure DPS" but ranged still

#

play Machinist

strong saddle
#

Character name is Kototsuki Maibito..most anime name ever

supple pollen
#

oh ic ic, yea i should try red mage first

gaunt brook
#

samurais easy to learn, hard to get really good at

simple shore
#

Machinist is super big damage

white ether
#

What's up with ninja?

strong saddle
#

With good gear tho

supple pollen
#

samurai is really difficult eh?

strong saddle
#

Ninja is dissapearing

#

iirc yeah

simple shore
#

Samurai is easy imo

white ether
#

Huh?

gaunt brook
#

its easy but

simple shore
#

i dont think its even hard to get good at tbh

supple pollen
#

oh no , i dont want difficult, im not that advanced

simple shore
#

but thats me

gaunt brook
#

if you want super high dps

median locust
#

what's this about ninja disappearing? lol

gaunt brook
#

its weird to learn

#

since you need to like use Third Eye and stuff

supple pollen
#

oh dam

#

no no

gaunt brook
#

i personally dont because i have to click on it

supple pollen
#

ill go red mage then

crude marten
#

when do we need to focus on skill builds/ equipment sets?

strong saddle
#

i'm glad all classes get a stun

simple shore
#

But they dont

#

so thats wrong

strong saddle
#

hmm

supple pollen
#

samurai , even the name sounds hard

simple shore
#

Ranged physical do not get a stun

strong saddle
#

im a lancer

#

I got leg sweep

#

though idk if universal

median locust
#

@crude marten For substats: You don't have to care before level 80. For gear: Always get the highest item level piece you can, for your class

strong saddle
#

wait nvm

#

im close range dps

median locust
#

Leg Sweep is universal for all melee DPS

white ether
#

Is ninja worth playinf

strong saddle
#

if u want too

#

we aint forcing uy

#

u

simple shore
#

Every job is "worth playing"

median locust
#

It is if you want to

simple shore
#

"worth" is up to you

white ether
#

🗿

crude marten
#

@median locust alright, thanks mate

median locust
#

No job is bad enough to not be worth playing

strong saddle
#

You ever play a job and say "Yeah this is strange to play. Imma do another one"

white ether
#

Is it good is what I'm saying

strong saddle
#

Im mean good is subjective

gaunt brook
#

theyre all good honestly

median locust
#

all jobs are good

gaunt brook
#

some classes might get like

2% more dps coz theyre buffed or smth

#

but in the end theyre all viable as long as you manage to get your combos down

and the ones tha thave lower personal dps buff their allies usually

Being good at your job is more important than which job you pick. So you should pick a job you like so you're more motivated to be good at it

Is ARR getting updated quest wise

median locust
#

There's no guide for these jobs while levelling, but if you mean max level, Balance Discord has guides for every job

#

there's probably faqs with said guides too though

#

@strong saddle Yes, around 13% of ARR quests are getting removed next patch to make it easier to go through

Yeah but you just pulled up the red mage rotation

#

!faq 50war

It's cause it's less straight forward to pick up really

#
Error!

No tag named 50war exists, Kupo!

white ether

Oh

raw solstice
#

The RDM one was made because it's like, you go pick it up at level 50 and you're kinda thrown into it. Other jobs you get at lower level and/or are otherwise more directly straightforward

crude vortex
#

At what level should I care about different classes/jobs?

simple shore
#

Whenever you want

#

Its not required to have other jobs.

white ether
#

Oh ok nvm then

simple shore
#

If you want one, go do it

median locust
#

You don't have to care at any point, you could only level one job to 80 and be perfectly fine

#

it's not required to level multiple

#

it's just so easy that most people level a few lol

white ether
#

Is dps Que bad for raids and dungeons?

crude vortex
#

alright coolio, is there like a guide out somewhere on where all the different jobs/classes/guilds are?

median locust
#

Depends what you mean by bad but it'll be like 10-20min on average

#

depending on the raid and time of day

white ether
#

Oof

strong saddle
#

I might pick up summoner again. Are pets used in certain situations

simple shore
#

Its bad for everything but 24 mans and trials. Mostly because trials is like 5 minutes at all hours of the day, and 24 mans are skewed towards DPS in the total number of members

white ether
#

My time is like 2-7 minutes

strong saddle
#

levelme's are so good

simple shore
#

15-20 minutes for dungeons is pretty normal for DPS

#

Ifrit = 1 target
Garuda = 2+ targets
Titan = If you're solo and absolutely need the survivability

strong saddle
#

cool

#

tfw i hardly see people group up for quest 😦

simple shore
#

because there's no reason to

median locust
#

you just hit queue in duty finder and bam, you got a group

simple shore
#

All quest content that isnt inside of a dungeon/raid is intended to be solo

white ether
#

Isn't dps Que high cuz there's a lot of them compared to tank and healer?

simple shore
#

That, and because of the group compositions.

white ether
#

Oh ok

#

For dragoon I heard that if you do a high jump? At a bad time you can get fucked

simple shore
#

High Jump not as much. Jump, yes.

#

You get animation locked and unable to move. High Jump is much faster once you get it though.

strong saddle
#

High jump

#

?

median locust
#

It's an upgrade to Jump

#

!action jump

High Jump does more damage and is a lot faster

We have 2 dogs and they get jumpy/bark everytime i summon it

Is the whistle there on other summons ?

strong saddle

lol

#

@the dogs

#

maybe disable sound?

wintry chasm
#

Just to check you don't mean the mount music do you?

simple shore
#

I assume he means the literal whistle when the cast bar finishes

limpid lantern
#

No as in when i summon the character whistles

wintry chasm
#

Yeah I just wanted to check

simple shore
#

Not all mounts have it, but alot of them do

wintry chasm
#

Because there shouldn't be a way to remove just that whistle without removing other sound effects

limpid lantern
#

Well shit

#

How much am I supposed to be pulling / tanking as a tank? Seems like I can only pull 2 groups of 3 (so 6 total) before healer gets overwhelmed but I see YouTube videos of people running around pulling everything

simple shore
#

It depends on the dungeon.

#

However the number of enemies isnt the factor

#

What level are you

normal breach
#

59

strong saddle
#

Don't pull too much so u dont die

#

I recommend 3-4 at least

agile laurel
#

general variation on the enemies, the dungeon, your/healer's gear level, your/healer's competency

strong saddle
#

Wait what tank are u

#

job

normal breach
#

Dark knight

simple shore
#

Okay, so you're out of the ARR dungeons. So you can pretty much wall to wall at that point. That said, you need to rotate your cooldowns properly.

faint flare
#

Past lv50 you can pretty much pull wall to wall

normal breach
#

Whats wall to wall mean

simple shore
#

For Dark Knight, that means Shadow Wall, Rampart, Arm's Length, and Reprisal

agile laurel
#

everything

faint flare
#

Meana you go until the dungeon stops you

#

Until theres a wall

normal breach
#

Hmm that seems impossible lmao

simple shore
#

For your part, you need to be making sure to use the CD's smart.

faint flare
#

Its not

simple shore
#

That means pop them BEFORE you need them

normal breach
#

I dont think I can do the aery and wall to wall

simple shore
#

Dont wait to hit 20% and then be like "guess i'll use a cooldown"

#

I can wall to wall Aery no problem.

faint flare
#

Aery is super easy

simple shore
#

on any tank job

faint flare
#

There's barely any mobs

#

In the trash

#

Compared to other dungeons

agile laurel
#

aery's easy to wall to wall yeah

simple shore
#

TL;DR Sprint -> Run through the pack and hit with your AoE as you're going -> get to the last pack before you're gonna stop

#

Start rotating CD's

agile laurel
#

the interior bit is a bit touchy but

simple shore
#

as soon as things get to you

faint flare
#

The vault has more mobs in its pulls but thats still easy

simple shore
#

Strength of your CD's on DRK is Shadow Wall > Rampart > Arm's Length > Reprisal

#

However Rampart and Arm's Length are nearly equal

normal breach
#

Can a healer of equal level handle that? I barely survive pulling 6 monsters at once

faint flare
#

Yes

simple shore
#

Yes

faint flare
#

Provided they're not fucking monkeys

#

And are capable of pressing buttons

limpid lantern
#

Monkeys are capable of pressinf buttons

strong saddle
#

^

simple shore
#

Yes, but sometimes they press Cure 1

strong saddle
#

I mean aint not wasting MP important (or at least having some for the next pull)

faint flare
#

Out of combat regen gives you it back

#

And lucid

simple shore
#

MP really isnt a thing.

#

Not in dungeons, anyway

median locust
#

White Mage doesn't have mana problems at all so Cure 2 costing more isn't an issue

simple shore
#

if you're spending so much MP that you're in trouble in dungeons you're either doing something dreadfully wrong or the tank is not using CD's at all

faint flare
#

Healers want to be GCD efficient, as MP isn't much of an issue

median locust
#

Plus you heal more which means you spend less time healing, meaning you get to DPS more, meaning mobs die faster

limpid lantern
#

@simple shore is that specifically for later ?

simple shore
#

Regarding?

limpid lantern
#

We are at lvl 35ish and my gf ran out of mana at the boss of the last dungeon

faint flare
#

Spam lucid on cooldown

#

If you run out of mana you're healing too much

simple shore
#

Well you'd have to tell me more

#

But if i were to take a guess

normal breach
#

Why is arm lengths good for wall to wall? I'm not online atm but if I remember it just applies a slow and prevents knockbacks

faint flare
#

The slow is SUPER good

simple shore
#

Its a 20% slow

#

Meaning 20% less autoattacks are hitting you

#

So its basically almost as good as a 20% damage mitigation

faint flare
#

And any casts they do are slower as well

median locust
#

Rule #1 of healing, throw out DPS spells
Rule #2 of healing, everyone doesn't have to be at 100% health at all times

strong saddle
#

wait what

#

@rule 2

simple shore
#

Yes

agile laurel
#

rule 2 flows quite nicely into rule 1

median locust
#

If you heal when someone is at 98% health, you're wasting mana

simple shore
#

The only HP that matters is the last one.

faint flare
#

If they're alive, people are fine

simple shore
#

If someone isnt going to die, then you shouldnt be wasting your mana on them

median locust
#

As long as people don't die, you're fine

agile laurel
#

if people are on 50% health, and not going to take any more damage, why bother?

faint flare
#

If you can survive the next attack, they're fine

limpid lantern
#

If my gf wasnt healing everyone at the titan fight to full we wouldve died from the jumpy attack

leaden ginkgo
#

question for dun scaith final boss, is the doom(cleansable mark) due to not looking away from him or does he put it on randomly? died to that and im pretty sure i wa slooking away/dodging

limpid lantern
#

Is that an exception to the rule then ?

faint flare
#

You reduce the amount of overhealing, thus you save mana thus you can dps more, this shit dies faster thus you spend less mana

simple shore
#

"To full" is the point though. You dont need to heal people to FULL all the time.

median locust
#

"But what if they suddenly take 80% of their health in damage?" Dungeons don't really do that. That amount of damage doesn't happens often lol

simple shore
#

because more likely than not, they were overhealing in an effort to keep the bars full

faint flare
#

Titans geocrush doesn't do much damage, it only does damage if you're in the middle

simple shore
#

the pulsing stomps dont do that much either

faint flare
#

Its a promixy attaxk

half kraken
#

If people are dying from geocrush it's because they're standing too close

faint flare
#

You go to the edge and take barely damage

half kraken
#

It should only do like 20% hp at most

faint flare
#

Only damage that titan does is if anyone gets hit by Weight of the land and the busters he does

#

And ultimate

#

And minor damage from geocrush

simple shore
#

If they're getting hit with weight of the land thats on them

faint flare
#

Things outside of extreme and savage fights barely deal damage, if they are then someone is fucking up

simple shore
#

I regularly leave people dead who i judge incapable of survival, heh.

median locust
#

Sometimes your 3600 MP is more important than someone's life, lol

simple shore
#

"Oh, you got hit by the entire stack of Weight's twice? Stay on the ground"

faint meadow
#

Fight knowledge helps a lot in knowing how much you'll actually have to heal but for most dungeon boss fights you can definitely afford to not leave people topped off 100% of the time

simple shore
#

later on healing gets so easy that you dont hard cast heals hardly ever

faint meadow
#

As long as the tank is good, you'll be fine

simple shore
#

in fact for anything ShB and onwards if im having to hardcast a heal on WHM i am annoyed

faint meadow
#

I've noticed healers will heal.me while i'm playing NIN if I get hit by an inconsequential attack that won't happen again for a while instead of just letting me heal through bloodbath

distant ridge
#

Question: When should I stop AOE-ing as a tank? I assume single target is more effective one the groups die down to 3 or less? (Not even tank only, DPS too)

normal breach
#

Is being dps or healer harder to do? Currently only played tank classes thinking of getting into some non tank ones

faint flare
#

Tank aoes are usually more effective at 2+

simple shore
#

@distant ridge it depends on the tank, but generally you should be AoE'ing at 2+

#

So basically only single target if there's literally only a single target

faint flare
#

Dps has more complex rotations you have to deal with while doing mechanics, healers are simple dps wise but you need to babysit your idiots party members

strong saddle
#

Okay im having trouble finding (Where the Hear is Lavender Beds)

faint flare
#

Bentmarrow

simple shore
#

@normal breach being a passable DPS is easier than being a passable Healer. Being a good DPS is significantly harder than being a good healer. imo

#

and that simply comes down to the number of buttons and timings involved

distant ridge
#

@simple shore How does that make sense dmgwise tho? For example on GNB, both AOEs have a pot of 100/150, while the normal 123 combo + the Cartridge 123 combo have a much higher pot. So AOEing only 2 adds seems rather wasteful in dmg-potential to me. Unless i miss something? I don't have an issue holding aggro without constant AOEs.

agile laurel
#

aoeing at 2 is less potency, yes

#

do single target string at 2

simple shore
#

It depends on the tank and the level though

faint flare
#

Divide the total potency by the number of gcds

#

To find the potency per gcd

#

You also get a cartridge from aoe for fated circle

median locust
#

Depends on the job basically. I think all jobs want to AoE at either 2 or 3 targets now. Check your respective job's guide to make sure

distant ridge
#

@faint flare I don't know the exact numbers so I'll just make some up. AOE is 100 + 150 = 250/2 = 125 - Singletarget is 400 + 550 + 600 = 1550 / 3 = 516,33~. Is that how you meant it?

faint flare
#

Yes

simple shore
#

Yeah but you then have to multiply the AoE by the number of targets

faint flare
#

^

distant ridge
#

I see, I'll look a little more into it then. It def makes more sense now tho.

faint flare
#

Gnb aoe is 150+200/2

#

So 350/2

#

Is 175 x number of mobs

#

St is 200 + 300 +400

#

So 900/3

#

For 300 pot per gcd

#

So aoe is better at 2+

simple shore
#

So using an example that i know - DRK's Unleash is 150, and Stalwart Soul is 160. 310 for both, divide by 2, 155. The 1-2-3 combo is (200+300+400) / 3 = 300. 155 * 2 = 310, meaning that at two targets, you still AoE

faint flare
#

As 175x2 is 350

merry stirrup
#

For Astrologian, it appears that all the cards are now the same? Am I missing something? I'm trying to Google but most things look to be a year old

simple shore
#

No, they're not all the same now

#

but they're much more the same

distant ridge
#

Thanks a bunch for the help. Def something to consider for the higher dungeons.

merry stirrup
#

Is there a guide to the new cards somewhere?

median locust
#

Balance, Spear, Arrow give damage buffs to melee DPS or tanks. Bole, Spire and Ewer give damage buff to ranged DPS or healers. Later on you get Divination which is a raidwide damage buff, for which you need to gather 3 different seals to get the strongest version of it. Each card gives a different seal so you'll have to redraw cards to make sure you get 1 of each seal

#

So there's really only two types of cards before you get to level 50

simple shore
#

Bole/Ewer/Spire and Balance/Spear/Arrow are the same. The first group should be put on ranged DPS / healers, the second group should be put on melee DPS / tanks.

merry stirrup
#

oh, well that's actually pretty simple

#

None of the tooltips say anything specific lol

simple shore
#

They do in your ability panel

merry stirrup
#

Oh good to know

#

haha thanks for the help! Lots has changed since I last played

simple shore
#

and you'll see

merry stirrup
#

oooooh yeah I didn't look there. heh thank you!!

median locust
#

Lord of Crowns/Lady of Crowns is the card you get if you decide "I don't need the seal but I still wanna give the card to someone"

agile laurel
#

you also can't use minor arcana to hit things anymore

#

it's just a deployable

median locust
#

right, Lord is the melee card, Lady is the ranged card

simple shore
#

I'm actually really glad that they grouped the cards the way they did

agile laurel
#

ast got simplified through the floor, really

simple shore
#

its so intuitive for old ASTs

agile laurel
#

for various reasons

median locust
#

I love current AST to death, shame I hate healing

agile laurel
#

I'll still never get used to not going off when someone gives my smn a bole

merry stirrup
#

yeah so amny options before I always had to have which card was which up on my other monitor lol

simple shore
#

"was this a good card before? okay its a melee card now". "was this a shit card before? okay its a ranged card now"

median locust
#

basically

agile laurel
#

plus now it means you can't break monks and black mages

simple shore
#

AST has a certain level of enjoyable passive-aggressive play on it too

#

If you're running ACT

#

lol

#

Melee DPS : "AST why are you giving all of the melee cards to the (Ranged DPS) wtf?"
Me : "You tell me"

gloomy mortar
#

With tanks they say don’t spin the boss. Does that apply for all times? For example if the boss does a charged aoe in a 45 degree cone, do you get out of the way or just stand there and take it?

faint flare
#

Dont take avoidable damage

median locust
#

If the boss is casting a cone, dodging it won't move the boss

#

They'll just stay like that

#

Just go back in when the attack is done

simple shore
#

@gloomy mortar The best way to deal with that - is dodge the AoE, and as soon as the AoE marker disappears, run back to where you were

#

The boss wont move at all

median locust
#

It's something to learn, really. Don't spin the boss if you can avoid it, it's fine if you have to dodge an AoE, but after the AoE goes off, go back where you were so the boss always faces the same way

#

Melee DPS have to hit the boss from behind or from the side sometimes, so spinning the boss makes their job harder and more annoying

final pasture
#

How do you prevent your gil from being stolen through an exploit ?

gloomy mortar
#

What about an aoe swipe? For example the Copperbell boss swings their axe in a cone (no yellow cone). Once you see it start to bring its axe back, do you move out of the cone or just take it

median locust
#

Don't click on suspicious links and you should be fine, but can you elaborate? That's an interesting question lol

final pasture
#

I figured

median locust
#

@gloomy mortar The game checks if you're standing in the AoE as the yellow marker is disappearing 99% of the time. Meaning as soon as the yellow cone is gone, you can go back in, even if the boss doesn't look like it's swung its weapon yet

final pasture
#

Me and my FC mates were camping a housing plot, when suddenly one of our members lost all his money. or well realized he lost all his money after abit, He also recieved high quality sand, when checking the market history he apparently had bought some high quality sand for like 500k each, while being logged in and not moving.

median locust
#

Sounds like a tactic some people use against auto clickers in housing to me

final pasture
#

But he was nowhere near a market board ?

median locust
#

They put down a retainer at a house next to the plot, then the auto clicker selects the retainer instead of the placard, and by spamming confirm they just buy everything on the retainer

#

Also auto clickers are against ToS, just so you know, lol

final pasture
#

He was also on busy

median locust
#

Doesn't matter, you can still buy stuff on busy

final pasture
#

He wasn't using a clicker afaik

gloomy mortar
#

Does that explain why some people sell low level things for 1 million Gil ?

final pasture
#

Like we were all in voice

gloomy mortar
#

On my

#

Mb

median locust
#

People sell low level stuff for millions of gil to either 1. Transfer gil between characters or 2. To get extra storage space, because you can use the 20 selling spots on a retainer to store stuff, and you put the price so high no one would buy it

final pasture
#

Only the owner could've placed a retainer right tho think

#

And the house wasn't owned

median locust
#

And Tempy, that's really the only thing I can think about, there's no way it was a hack if he was still logged in

agile laurel
#

yeah, placing a retainer in front of an autoclicker is a common way to mess with housing bots if you've managed to buy the plot

#

are you absolutely sure you know the whole story from your friend?

final pasture
#

I mean after that we just did some research and saw that it was a thing from like 6 years ago

#

Were it could happen aslong as you were logged in

gloomy mortar
#

Can’t you transfer money more easily by putting it in the FC chest?

#

No tax

median locust
#

If you're in the same FC, sure

final pasture
#

Well he lost the money with us there so

median locust
#

maybe he was clicking without looking at his screen and accidentally did it, if it wasn't an autoclicker

#

but it definitely sounds like that's what happened

final pasture
#

But the house was on sale

#

and afaik you can't just plop down a retainers anywhere

median locust
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

distant ridge
#

Gil doesn't suddenly turn into sand. So either your friend is withholding information or you all mistook it for an unsold plot.

simple shore
#

Realistically it sounds like an autoclicker to me

agile laurel
#

So either your friend is withholding information or you all mistook it for an unsold plot.
i fully agree with this

simple shore
#

because no single key spam could result in what occurred.

agile laurel
#

there is no way in these times someone can, in no sight of a market board, magically buy sand without noticing

well he did :^)

Im trying to go to Lavender Beds but i cant take the ferry there. How do i get there?

if i buy a gold saucer mount before i get my chocobo can i use it?

Yep, getting your Chocobo unlocks the mount system

eager night
#

Is there any links for like a gear guide?
Currently just going through the MSQ using the gear it gives me, but I'm sure over time it will just lack any sort of use

agile laurel
#

Other MMOs require you to train in riding or suchlike - the My Little Chocobo quest is practically the same thing

faint flare
#

The story gives you enough gear

rich bay
#

Only the company chocobo is important. (The first one you get)

That bird can fight with you.

simple shore
#

MSQ should furnish you with sufficient gear until 80 more or less

#

You shouldnt have to be making big gear decisions prior to then

eager night
#

but what if I like want cool dungeon looking armor?
What level do dungeons become a thing?

agile laurel
#

19?

rich bay
#

Level 15 @eager night

agile laurel
median locust
#

15 yeah, levelling roulette is 16

eager night
#

15!? I'm level 18 ;-; haven't seen anything related for a dungoen

simple shore
#

MSQ unlocks dungeons

agile laurel
#

you're probably overleveled

faint flare
#

The first dungeon comes at thr MSQ quest "its probably pirates"

eager night
#

I don't what roulette is either

agile laurel
#

check the level of your MSQ

rich bay
#

The level 15 MSQ.

median locust
#

15 in the main story, not your actual level

agile laurel
#

it's probably lower

eager night
#

ahhhhhh

simple pine
#

but if you are on a preferred server you probably way out level the dungeon before you unlock it, i was like level 20+ before i did the MSQ for the dungeons

simple shore
#

TL:DR almost everything in the game is locked behind MSQ. Your character level is largely not going to be the limiting factor on your first time through the game.

eager night
#

Probably am over leveled..I did spend like 2 hours just killing stuff for fun

tawny chasm
#

Is the free trial only 1 week?

simple pine
#

you unlock three dungeons in a row at lvl 15 msq

#

the free trial is unlimited but you can only go to lvl 35

eager night
#

well thank you for the information

simple pine
#

on august 11 it will be level 60 in free trial

faint flare
#

Trial is unlimited

gloomy mortar
#

Do your stats get better if you level up but have te same gear and skills?

tawny chasm
#

Thanks lul

faint flare
#

They get slightly better

simple shore
#

Marginally

#

But ~90% of your stats come from gear

tawny chasm
#

How many hours of content are level 60?

#

Im dronk

simple shore
#

That's not answerable

faint flare
#

Over 100

fresh lodge
#

A lot

tawny chasm
#

👍

distant ridge
#

If you need some kinda scale, i was at 250 hours when I finsihed HW (Story till lvl 60), and that was only 3.0

simple shore
#

FF14 has a ridiculous amount of content in it, and the speed at which you consume it would determine the hours of content

median locust
#

The Free Trial used to be 2 weeks long, a long time ago, but it's been unlimited for a while now

gloomy mortar
#

I’m trying to complete a class quest that’s level synced to 62. I’m only 60 with full Aug.Shire gear. Should I level up to 62 or go as is?

sick turtle
#

Heyyyy, how do i get skybuilders' yew logs?

median locust
#

As long as you meet the quest level and have decent gear, you're good

wintry chasm
#

^

#

Aug shire is as good as level 65 gear

#

Well a bit worse but still

#

Close

median locust
#

@sick turtle Can't, that was an item from the first phase of Ishgard Restoration. Impossible to get it now.

fresh lodge
#

You can't get Skybuilder's Yew logs anymore

distant ridge
#

I did the entire DRK class quest vom 60 - 70 in aug shire gear without issue

lucid stream
#

Is there an requirement to unlock these Materia or something that is causing these to be grayed out?

faint flare
#

All ishgard restoration items are in the diadem now

median locust
#

you just don't have the currency

fresh lodge
#

It uses a different item

simple shore
#

I imagine even with heavy play, if you were to play the 5.3 trial to its fullest extent (every job including crafters/gatherers to 60, MSQ completed, unlock and complete all the optional dungeons/raids) you could easily be looking at a month or two of play.

sick turtle
#

@median locust holy sht thats rough ninoface

lucid stream
#

@sick turtle you want to make the grade 2 items

median locust
#

@sick turtle Just make the phase 2 crafts, all the items are found in Diadem

sick turtle
#

Oh okay

#

Thanks

simple shore
#

@lucid stream if you look, its the same icon - but different name

sick turtle
#

DAMN im stupid
Thank you guys

lucid stream
#

Ohhh cluster and crystal okay thanks

simple shore
#

Nah its not that stupid

median locust
#

It's fine, you don't see items disappear often lol

simple shore
#

They should have given those unique icons

lucid stream
#

I looked at name to make sure they were not different but didnt get to the crystal/cluster

gloomy mortar
#

What is diadem

agile laurel
#

those clusters are pretty much just from beast tribes or kupo of fortune

#

so you won't pick up many

simple shore
#

and Khloe

#

@gloomy mortar Diadem is the gatherer zone for Ishgardian Restoration

#

You access it by talking to an NPC in the firmament

gloomy mortar
#

Are beast tribe quests useful after you hit lvl70? Do you need beast quest currency later in the game ?

simple shore
#

There are post-70 beast tribes as well

#

Pixies for combat classes, Qitari for gatherers, and in 5.3 Dwarves for Crafters.

median locust
#

They also give mounts and minions if you care about that

simple shore
#

You dont "need" the currency of the older tribes later, but most of the pre-70 ones will sell you crafting mats for their currency (on top of the cosmetic stuff) which can be quite useful

#

or for gil in some cases

#

the post-70 tribes are money in the bank though, and you should do them every day

gloomy mortar
#

Not at pixies yet; only up to Vaeth, Zundu and the underwater turtles one

#

Moogles to

simple shore
#

yeah Vath can be very handy to have available because of the particular crafting mats they sell

gloomy mortar
#

I’ve maxed out Ixali and Sagahin. Amalji sulphate kobold are just at friendly. Ignore those?

simple shore
#

I'd go back for those later/last

#

ARR tribes are the least useful

lofty pulsar
#

as soon as I get to lvl 30 on arcanist, I can try either scholar or summoner and both will level right? Or do I have to pick one and roll with that to unlock the other job later on?

wintry chasm
#

You can unlock both and they level together

simple shore
#

@lofty pulsar SCH and SMN are based on Arcanist level. So if you gain a level on one, you get it on both

rich bay
#

@gloomy mortar

There are combined beast tribe quests if you max out all beast tribes of an expansion.

You will notice there is a common enemy for all beast tribes.

wintry chasm
#

They are two different unlock quests though both in the arcanist guild

lofty pulsar
#

But I can switch to either of the jobs at any point in time right?

gloomy mortar
#

What is the useful crafting item the Vath sell?

faint flare
#

Yes

simple shore
#

Vath sell alot of the Heavensward era "Metal" type crafting materials. These are something of a pain in the ass to farm yourself.

simple mesa
#

New player here. Just bought the game today. Quick question. On what lvl I can obtain a mount?

median locust
#

Level 20 in the main story, ish

gloomy mortar
#

@rich bay is the quest with it for all that work?

median locust
#

you might be higher level when you do get there

simple shore
#

so like Titanium Nugget, Hardsilver Nugget, Mythrite Nugget

simple mesa
#

gotcha, thanks

simple shore
#

Those three are annoying to farm, so most people just buy them from the vath vendor if you need them for a craft rather than farming them

gloomy mortar
#

@simple shore ah ok, yeah prices on those fluctuate on th mb from cheap to ridiculous

Titanium Nugget especially

#

because you have to deal with RNG if you want to farm it yourself

rich bay
#

@gloomy mortar

You first need to max out all beast tribes of an expansion.
Rank 4 for ARR beast tribes except Ixal they need rank 7. (Allied is rank 8 for ARR beast tribes.)

For HW and SB beast tribes you need rank 8 for all 3.
(Allied is rank 9 for HW+ beast tribes)

After that a quest will show up that wraps all beast tribes stories up into 1 story. When you finish that questline, all beast tribes reputation (for that expac) will change to Allied.

strong saddle
#

How do i change to a crafting class

median locust
#

Same as any battle class

#

Pick up the quest for it, complete it then equip the appropriate weapon

#

or in this case, tool

strong saddle
#

Anyway to find how many shards u have

simple shore
#

Third tab of your inventory

strong saddle
#

thx

simple shore
#

actually, fourth

#

i keep forgetting they did that

strong saddle
#

So i have enough shards to make a crafting item yet i dont see the option to put them into it

faint flare
#

Itd automatic

plush hound
#

They're effectively the currency, not an item. Loot above the item list and you'll see the requirements.

strong saddle
#

kay the quality of the item increased to 156/312

plush hound
#

Yup, HQ mats will boost the quality for the craft, making it easier to get a HQ result.

strong saddle
#

And the once i have it i can craft the item or?

tulip skiff
#

Do they sell the trex mount from eureka on the market?

strong saddle
#

wait i see a progress bar up top

rich bay
#

@tulip skiff

Nope

#

Untradable.

tulip skiff
#

😦

median locust
#

Luckily it's in Anemos so it's not behind that much grind

rich bay
#

It is a uncommon lockbox drop in Eureka Anemos, so just farm lockboxes and you get it.

median locust
#

By the time I was done with Anemos, I had 4 horns just sitting in my inventory

tulip skiff
#

I haven’t gotten into eureka yet it looks like a pain:/

rich bay
#

It is easy now, you should try it.

#

To prepare for 5.35

tulip skiff
#

Is 5.35 connected to eureka?

faint flare
#

No

simple shore
#

Nah, but its going to be similar. Also probably nobody will be doing Eureka for quite some time after 5.35

tulip skiff
#

Ahhh so I should go now then

faint flare
#

The mount is in anemos so

#

Wont take long

strong saddle
#

Okay this crafting is getting confusing imma have to do it later

tulip skiff
#

Also I got the base relic weapon the new one when it was first release where was it that I go again to get another for my ninja?

plush hound
#

@strong saddle any particular issue that's baffling you?

forest laurel
#

is there an emote for the pose in a cutscene where your character turns a bit and crosses their arms? not the /lean emote

strong saddle
#

The progress. I don't know how to icreaes it

wintry chasm
#

Use your synthesis skill

faint flare
#

Synthesis actions

wintry chasm
#

Read your gosh darn actions and what they do

plush hound
#

You'll have two sets of abilities: Touch and Synthesis. Touch increases quality and Synthesis increases progress.

#

Depending on your level, you'll have an ability called Inner Quiet. If you're trying for an HQ craft, you'll want to use that as soon as you can. Either first or second ability depending on if you have any "first action" abilities you can use.

agile laurel
#

@forest laurel I know what you mean but I don't think there is

#

not that I know of at any rate

tulip skiff
#

How do I teleport to doman enclave? I can never get it in the map

twilit arch
#

use the teleport menu

median locust
#

Teleport menu under Hingashi iirc, if it's not there, go there by foot and attune to the aetheryte

tulip skiff
#

Lol I actually forgot that existed I always used the mapXD

agile laurel
#

oof.

leaden ginkgo
#

Big noob here, so how do you login exactly , like, been in the data center for about 10 min now and idk what to do, I know, dumb question

halcyon glen
#

Does SCH Physic get the Cure I treatment where you dump it at 30 for Adlo unless you're out of mana?

forest laurel
#

no

#

wait

#

I misread

dapper shadow
#

you want to alternate between phys and adlo

#

cuz adlo shield doesnt register immediately

leaden ginkgo
#

Nvm

halcyon glen
#

ahhh

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm a huge idiot

#

XD

dapper shadow
#

this is assuming you are going to do... shudders gcd heals

halcyon glen
#

I mean considering I'm still sub-50 and therefore have only one oGCD heal

dapper shadow
#

well then alternate between them

#

at higher levels gcd heals become sparse enough adlo will be rarely used mid fight, and thus physick

I'm just used to WHM where GCD heals are a real thing you need to use at 80

leaden ginkgo
#

Which materia is best to meld into DRG armor

#

Trying to meld materia in my Neo-Ishgard gear

median locust
#

Critical Hit Rate > Direct Hit Rate > Determination > Skill Speed

leaden ginkgo
#

Do I place materia for all 4?

median locust
#

Meld Crit
If you can't or wouldn't get all the stats you can out of the materia, meld Direct Hit
If you can't, meld Determination
If you can't, meld Skill Speed

leaden ginkgo
#

Wdym by "Wouldn't get all the stats you can out of the matera"?

median locust
#

Gear has stat caps so you can't have more than X amount of a certain stat on them

#

You see those at the bottom of the melding window

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah yes yes I understand

#

Well, how much would the cap be for ilvl 480 gear?

#

Depends?

median locust
#

Depends on the gear and which stats it already has

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah

median locust
#

If it's at 477/477 for example, you can't meld anymore of said stat

leaden ginkgo
#

Well, is it a set amount or different for everyone?

median locust
#

Different for every piece of gear

#

depends on which stats are already on it

leaden ginkgo
#

Ahh

#

Ok

#

So right now my Neo-Ishgard Cap of Maiming has 270 Determination, so I cant meld determination

#

I thought those stats didnt include those ones

median locust
#

If it says 270/270 at the bottom, then yeah, you can't meld det

#

but if it says 270/320, then you can meld some

#

always look at the stat caps at the bottom of the melding window

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok, 2nd question

#

I know overmelding is easier with VII

#

But how risky will it be with VIIIs?

twilit arch
#

you can only overmeld 1 8

median locust
#

Overmelding isn't really worth it

twilit arch
#

and tbh its not worth it

median locust
#

costs too many materias

leaden ginkgo
#

If I fail, what do I lose?

twilit arch
#

unless you're at the start of the tier and trying to do savage at day 1

median locust
#

the materia

twilit arch
#

you lose the materia

leaden ginkgo
#

The one I am melding or all of them?

twilit arch
#

the one you're melding

leaden ginkgo
#

Thats still expensive

median locust
#

And it's 17% success rate on the first slot

leaden ginkgo
#

What?

median locust
#

yep

#

First overmeld slot*

#

Not the open slots

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeye

median locust
#

Open slots are always 100%

#

but overmeld slots are always super low rate

#

17% for the first, 10% second, 7% third, I think?

leaden ginkgo
#

Watafak

twilit arch
#

depends on the materia

leaden ginkgo
#

Too much for my smol pockets

median locust
#

depends on your tier of materia but iirc that's why tier 7's

#

Yeah and it's only a few more stats

#

Not worth

twilit arch
#

first slot is between 17% and 90% (90% being grade 1)

#

last slot is between 7% and 28%

#

generally are going to break a fair bit of materia overmelding, which is why its expensive unless you have a lot of materia already stockpiled

#

and also why its not worth it outside of week 1 savage raiding, really

leaden ginkgo
#

I will just meld 2 slots

#

No need for the extra drama

median locust
#

that's the way to go, lol

leaden ginkgo
#

So without overmelding highest I can go is 120

#

Is that right or am I missing something?

median locust
#

yep, unless you get gear with more guaranteed slots

#

which is pretty rare but there's a few around your gear level

#

Idealized gear that drops from Memoria Miseria EX has 5 guaranteed slots
