it'd then be overwritten and removed by your shielding actions, which are notably smaller

iirc the same also applies to Diurnal Celestial Intersection, but it's easier to just not do that if necessary

this may be a stupid question but is dextery the primary stat for bards and mch too or only ninjas?

yes

you're right

'Affects physical ranged damage and damage dealth by rogue's arms'
leaden ginkgo
thanks guys
not to be that guy, just need to confirm before I move on. Does this mean no one here knows for sure the turn-around on a response for the rollback ticket?
agile laurel
don't ask me how that applies to RDM fleche/contre sixte cause i really don't know
upbeat raptor
Word. I will think about that when casting the sheild aspected spells. Loosing an entire cast is p devastating
agile laurel
a really general-sweeping rule of thumb for anything outside of difficult savage/ultimate is diurnal unless you're forced to not
twilit arch
Fairly certain both fleche/contre scale from int
agile laurel
Yeah, fleche/C6 always confused me cause they are technically physical according to leviathan
or at least they used to
twilit arch
Its pretty much like clemency or any of pld's magic spells
they're magic, but str scaling
agile laurel
Oh yeah, good point
twilit arch
@leaden ginkgo unfortunately i dont think anyone of us does know the answer to that. sorry
agile laurel
@upbeat raptor also another thing to consider, all of astrologian's card related actions, its long cooldowns and a few other things, can be inserted after any standard cast, because astrologian's cast times are intentionally shorter than the GCD

hazy umbra
Hello! I have a possibly stupid random question. all of my Squadron have Crag weapons. They are around level 43 so haven't unlocked any glamour yet. I'm not complaining but I have no idea why?
twilit arch
its just the gear that they're put in when they hit lvl 40
when they hit 50, they'll get another gear setchange
hazy umbra
oh thank you so much! It looks so weird all of a sudden I wondered why ha
agile laurel
Yeah. Most casters have to deliberately look for safe ways to insert off-GCD actions without delaying their GCD
upbeat raptor
@agile laurel i noticed that, that's really good to know. Does this mean i can "triple" weave with good ping?
agile laurel
Astrologian doesn't
twilit arch
no
agile laurel
no
Astrologian can fit a single oGCD after any standard cast, and that's an ast specific thing
twilit arch
triple weave is pretty much always going to clip, on any job
agile laurel
You can fit two oGCDs after an instant-cast, USUALLY
twilit arch
cos you have to keep in mind of the animation delay
agile laurel
so if you want a doubleweave, you'll need to hit Combust
Yeah, especially considering some ast actions like Redraw have a fairly chunky animation lock
upbeat raptor
Yeah i just though that maybe with the extra half of a second you could weave but the game fundamentally doesnt function lile that.
agile laurel
It makes more sense on literally-anything-else, but AST specifically can weave easily after every standard cast simply due to the nature of their cast times

outer raft
Where do I go to unlock Shared FATE? It's blacked out, I'd like to increase my mount speed basically. Level 34atm
twilit arch
Shared FATEs are for shadowbringers zones
agile laurel
it changes on spell speed, but my ast cast times are 1.47 seconds, and the GCD is 2.45 seconds
simple shore
Shared FATE is ShB feature
agile laurel
Which means I have about a second to hit an off-GCD action

so not going to be able to unlock those until 70, when you've gotten to shadowbringers msq

At the Azim Steppe, how do you get to the towering still Aetheryte? can't find a way up or is it quest rtelated?

Mount speed will increase by completing MSQ for that zone

agile laurel
@sullen pulsar the one in the middle of the zone? or the one at the very far left?
faint flare
The centre one you'll go to via story
simple shore
You wont be able to reach that aetheryte until you have flying
twilit arch
not true balmeric
upbeat raptor
Thanks for all of the help!
simple shore
but there's nothing there for you while levelling
twilit arch
there's an npc that will fly you up to it

Oh wait, but that NPC isnt available until you unlock the tribe, right?
twilit arch
i believe so
simple shore
Which is effectively the same thing
proud sigil
Anyone want to help with FATES in The Tempest?
simple shore
unless you're a psychopath who is levelling crafters in-tandem with MSQ
outer raft
Okay, once I hit level 70 Shared FATE will unlock only for the dlc zones? I've noticed a good amount of people out pacing me in non dlc areas. I don't think I'm understanding, sorry.
outer raft
MSQ? Where can I view that?
simple shore
the second comes from riding maps - however these are largely pointless because they dont increase flying speed, and by the time you can get them, you will have flying unlocked in those zones most likely
outer raft
Thanks for your time by the way.
outer raft
Ah
twilit arch
apparently you can get to the aetheryte without either
outer raft
gotcha
twilit arch
just requires a bit of mountain scaling
simple shore
You can view your current mount speed by going to Travel -> Mount Speed
its zone specific
But because MSQ gates it, and its usually the last MSQ piece of the zone, you're pretty much stuck on slow speed until you're done with the zone anyway, more or less
simple shore
It is not worth getting the second speed increase. Dont waste any time or energy on that.
simple shore
Yes so if you go to any of those zones, you'll notice that your mount moves much faster
outer raft
Than k you seriously, really wasn;t understanding.

Im thinking of moving to dps jobs from war
With all dps jobs ranged melee and caster who’s rotation is focussed on burst

Duty finder has really nice seal gains for being a healer/tank. Any other great ways to farm seals besides that and item turn ins?

I'd argue DRG is heavily bursty given its opener

It's not that the answers are split, but more that there are a lot of different dps that have burst styles.
acoustic lichen
But the job who’s rotation has the highest burst
open coral
That's hard to quantify

"highest burst" isnt really....a good metric

BLM is more sustained damage. You can burst on demand if you save Xenoglossys but eh.

If that makes sense

Yeah, I think MNK is the only dps that doesn't have a major burst cycle.
upbeat raptor
Drg is all about ramp up and life cycles, not super proccy or anything like that. I like melee dps so i think nin or sam for burst

Machinist, Summoner, or Samurai.

@sullen pulsar the one in the middle of the zone? or the one at the very far left?
@agile laurel the one on far left above a hill
agile laurel
in that case that's the namazu one
as said, you need either the namazu quests, flying in the zone, or some creative mountain parkour that's not really intended by design
it is not related to MSQ or any combat jobs
sullen pulsar
ok thanks did try climbing from all different side but didn't work

There's literally no reason to get that aetheryte except if you're gonna do the Namazu crafter quests.

Where do you guys recommend for me to get my level 50 crafting gear? I kinda don’t wanna use the market cause it’s gonna cost a lot to gear a few gathers and crafters classes

twilit arch
you can pick up some of the artisan gear from grand company seals

vendor gear for crafters/gatherers happens at 51/61/71 and is a major jump up from the previous tier of gear

Hey guys, playing and leveling paladin, but very interested in gun blade, if I level boosted (possibly frowned upon, I know) a warrior or DK, would they share armor with the gunbreaker once I level up the gunbreaker? So I would be stashing decent upgrade gear for it (minus weapon)?
remote lintel
yes but it would be lvl 70 armor
covert ruin
By MSQ you mean Main story right, and yeah ive been slacking on it. So will probably start doing it then.
hasty sapphire
@remote lintel what about warrior story? Anything I would be missing there?
remote lintel
nah it's just that the dark knight story is one of the best in the game
hasty sapphire
@remote lintel anything in the paladin story I should not skip? Seems kinda bland atm
remote lintel
no idea i only played it to 50
hasty sapphire
Yeah, okay thank you for the advice!
remote lintel
but you would be a lvl 60 gunbreaker so you would be over leveled
and the story exp would be wasted
hasty sapphire
Ah, makes sense

Don't recommend boosting your first job since you'll have to do the main story anyway. Which levels you up as you go through it, so.
hasty sapphire
Well I wanted to boost a random job, that I wouldn’t use to gain access to GNB

You want to be doing main story since pretty much everything in the game is locked behind it. Technically there are faster ways to level but you can't play the game without doing main story

Suuuuuuuper casual.

Why not go back to your original character?

Because my friends on Balmung no longer play and I don't know anyone. My friend/roommate picked up and plays on Mateus now.
And I got bored around level 41-ish on the old character, and lost interest for a few years.

You could world visit between Balmung and Mateus you know
You and your friend just can't be in the same FC pretty much

Yeah, we kinda wanna do stuff together. Hence why I started over on Mateus.

Okay cause i know the base game license and SHB had some tricky things, didn't know if it was the same for uppgrades, thanks !
raven sage
Yeah it just adds it to whatever licenses you have registered
jolly sorrel
Always prioritize Tetra, Benis, Benedict depending, Afflatus before you start hardcasting cures too.
remote lintel
benis?
remote lintel
OH BENISON
tulip plover
Also does cure 2 combo off of somwthing?
jolly sorrel
Cure 2 is -sometimes- free when you cast Cure 1. But you shouldn't be casting Cure 1.
round otter
The new free trial cap is already up?
remote lintel
no
remote lintel
wouldnt do that
tulip plover
.-.
round otter
I am still leveling a char in trial, if I reach the current max, I will still able to continue after till the new cap?
jolly sorrel
I mean, there's low level dungeons where you need that. Also I guess there are weird super rare moments where you're legit out of MP for some awkward reason and a cure 1 saves the day.
young fjord
Will current trial accounts get upgraded to HW? or only new trial accounts?
simple pine
jolly sorrel
I'm willing to bet on it, but I guess they haven't confirmed so
violet star
they did it the last time they upgraded the trial
half kraken
Does anyone have any advice to earn gil as a max level Fisher?
remote lintel

median locust
Gather aethersand
zinc orbitBOT
young fjord
Chase the fish people need for quests
jolly sorrel
Sharks can be nice.
plush hound
@lime sphinx Check for in demand foods. Some of the highest in demand stuff has a fish for a component.
jolly sorrel
They're still used in Fish Oil so sell pretty fast.
median locust
But yeah Fishier isn't the best gatherer if you want to make a profit out of it
Botanist and Miner are way better at that
Most Fish are useless
strange coral
I made good money desynthing diadem fish for mats, but that was when restoration phase 2 was still new. Prices might not be as good these days.
plush hound
Yeah, when the next phase launches, making money doing that should be good for a while.
Plus the coupons from the grading process can be turned into dyes which sell for a good price.
half kraken
I think I can just get hq icepicks they're like 25k each on the MB
Though I don't know if people buy them, but they are needed for a main Fisher quest
plush hound
Check the history to see how frequently they sell.
half kraken
Seems like the highest price Fisher quest fish in my world
median locust
You can check an item's purchase history on the MB
half kraken
Oh huh cool
median locust
Shows you who bought it, when it was bought and for how much
For the last... 20? purchases
leaden ginkgo
crafting question.. what gear should i be having or when should i be doing restoration, just did some XD filled inventory w stuff w "1 collectablity" hahaha . kinda lost since i got rid of all low lvl gear since ive been doing leves all this time so only have lvl 70 stuff
jolly sorrel
If something sells like, 5 times a day, then realize you won't be selling more than 5 of them per day. -And- you'll be competing for those five per day with other sellers.
faint flare
Just make sure you have gear
plush hound
As early as you can is ideal (I think that's level 20) as it's fantastic for levelling.
faint flare
Its perfectly good to level to 80 entirely by ishgard restoration starting at 20
Provided you get gear along the way
plush pebble
Kinda annoyed about the steam thingy, is it worth starting again just to get out of the steam lock?
remote lintel
up to you
faint flare
Do you want to do everything again. Including rebuying and remaking the entire account
median locust
Not really imo, you don't buy expansions often. Once every two years pretty much, lol
That's the only time it matters
plush pebble
that is true
remote lintel
cant you link your steam acc to your mog acc
plush pebble
does the steam version have any other issues?
median locust
you always have a mog account even if you're on steam
plush pebble
there are expansions listed on the enix store that aren't on steam
remote lintel
what do you mean
median locust
like?
plush pebble
there is two on steam: ff14 and shadowbringers
remote lintel
shadowbringers is the dlc
median locust
There's only 3 purchase options besides collector editions: Starter Edition, Complete Edition, Shadowbringers
slate arrow
because you can't buy the other expansions
median locust
Complete is starter + Shadowbringers
slate arrow
Shadowbringers has all the expansions bundled
plush pebble
ahh
strange coral
Steam also lists Complete Edition, but as a bundle of ARR+ShB, not an individual product
leaden ginkgo
are poetics useless at level 80? because the other tomes are needed for that gear
mossy tartan
Where can I see the contents of each collector’s edition? Every time I google one it lists me the expansion and its contents instead.
twilit arch
mogstation > additional service > digital upgrade service
it'll list the digital goods of the collector's editions
plush hound
You will, over time find a use for poetics. Either to gear up a job, a glamour grind of some sort, or something else, you'll eventually have a use for them.
leaden ginkgo
do you need to do savages / ultimates for relics?
leaden ginkgo
how do i learn about relics o.o
median locust
Don't need but one relic step likes to run Alexander 9 savage over and over cause it's fast
but you outgear it by so much that it doesn't have any mechanics
plush hound
remote lintel
the link has all of them at the top
slate arrow
console games wiki
median locust
They have great tutorials on how to make the relics tho
plush hound

thanks!
naive zealot
So I get that optimizing regen is probably not ideal for end game, but for low-mid levels I am looking to be lazy without failing... As such how do I optimize regen to get the absolute maximum healing out if at expense to all else.
(Mostly talking melds)
WHM to be clear as well..
plush hound
My recommendation if you're going for one, go for the Anima. Easiest one of the bunch.
dire basin
I'm a returning player and I'm capped on Bicolored gems. Behemoth. What can they be uised for to make some gil?
fluid escarp
Is this stubble unlockable or is not in the game yet
remote lintel
not in game yet
median locust
not ingame
naive zealot
I leveled all my crafts to 80 and have all the materia just lying around anyway. Might as well use it.
plush hound
Crafting mats if you bought all the untradeable stuff. The drop rate is still low enough that you can sell them for a small chunk of coin.
median locust
Note: Relics, besides the level 80 one, are not very good weapons. They can be the best weapons at their respective levels, but you can get a weapon that's almost just as good for like, 600 poetics. So no point at all making them, unless you want them for the glamour.
plush hound
^
median locust
Also, relic steps have no relation between them, so you can't make a lv80 relic from a lv60 anima for example. They never change levels.
You start directly at the level 80 one
wintry compass
i unlocked paladins pledge does that mean i unlock paladin class now?
median locust
That's the Paladin unlock quest, yes
wintry compass

halcyon glen
you do need to actually do the quest though

When the job is unlocked you'll have a gem in your armory, bottom right slot.

wintry compass
now i wont do it
dire basin
@plush hound I guess I'll just look at what mats on the board? What about materia? Are they still being bought up?
I have miner/botanist at 70+ so I can still make some money that way, but this capped gems is bothering me right now. lol
remote lintel
buy riding maps?
plush hound
The Tier 8's are, tier 7 and below still sell, though the price drops considerably.
median locust
Riding maps aren't that worth it, especially now that they're adding flight to ARR areas
plush hound
Bear i mind he's talking the bicolor gems from the ShB FATEs.
median locust
I was wondering who you were replying to, lol
plush hound
Now as for ShB riding maps. Each zone vendor, when you hit Grade 2 for the FATEs, will sell a riding map which gives the tier one riding speed for that zone.
mossy nest
Is there a slash command for soft targeting instead of hard targeting?
E.g. instead of /target <f> it would be /softtarget <f>
sullen pulsar
for 5.3 where they streamline ARR post ultimate weapon, does that apply to current toon or you have to start a new toon?
median locust
Some quests they're just shortening too
sullen pulsar
as long as they remove those go here and talkto someone for 23 sentences and then return, I'll be happy
median locust
not actually removing
sullen pulsar
2-3 sentences
median locust
Yeah they said instead of having you go to 3 different locations back to back in one quest, they'd only have you go to 1
for example
tidal yarrow
how much exp is leveling 50 60 70 at 79?
median locust
Not enough to run it if you don't need poetics
slate carbon
for anima weapon the quest Toughening Up can I do all of them alone unsynced?
median locust
Yes
tidal yarrow
I thought roulettes were the fastest way to level up
sullen pulsar
that should be good enough, guess I'll hold my lower level toons for now and play my 2 mains, I know you can have more than 1 job on a toon but I like how the different races looks
median locust
50/60/70 is bad exp, not the roulette people usually talk about
Levelling, Trials, Normal Raids, Alliance Raids and MSQ all give decent exp for time invested
tidal yarrow
yeah but once I did the others it's better than nothing imo.. not many ways to get exp tbh
tidal yarrow
or hunting bills
where can I see em?
plush hound
@slate carbon anything in the Anima that requires dungeons/trials/raids can be soloed unsynched. Whether it's feasable however...
tidal yarrow
yes I'm in stormblood tho
median locust
open coral
From best to worst roulettes for xp: MSQ > Leveling > Alliance Raid > Trials/Normal Raid > 50/60/70
median locust
Do MSQ
naive zealot
Can you do dailies as a high level class and turn them in as a level 1 class for XP?
remote lintel
you shouldnt be 80 at shadowbringers
plush hound
I wouldn't worry about leveling then. By the time you get to the point where you need level 80 you should have it.
tidal yarrow
46k each msq tho.. I need 300 of em to level up
median locust
MSQ unlocks everything, what are you going to run at level 80
remote lintel
which doesnt give a lot of exp for a lvl 79
median locust
without any level 80 content unlocked
There's absolutely no point being level 80 this early on
none
Do the main story
plush hound
The XP shoots up when you're in ShB quests. Plus you have dungeons to run along the way. You'll hit 80 LONG before you need it.
tidal yarrow
mm I only use 1 class
remote lintel
then you're wasting a ton of exp
open coral
Basically, this isn't a "grinding" kind of game.
median locust
Don't have to switch if you don't wanna
It's no big deal if you lose MSQ exp honestly
open coral
This is a story game
median locust
just do the MSQ
plush hound
To put it simply, you are far too overlevel for the content you're doing.
remote lintel
it would make it harder to level a second class
obsidian patio
@naive zealot no. The class has to be a high enough level to normally be able to turn it in
naive zealot
noted, thank you.
obsidian patio
Also roulettes give experience for the class you queue them as, you can’t give that exp to other classes.
magic beacon
You get bonus daily exp as soon as the final boss dies, theres no "turn in"
wintry compass
what if i wanted to wield a great sword
remote lintel
play dark knight
magic beacon
Then youbplay Dark Knight
wintry compass
i havent gotten it
remote lintel
then work to unlock it
wintry compass
im still trying to lvl cap on trial i didnt know it was that class
magic beacon
Then get to Ishgard and unlock it
wintry compass
i am i just unlocked paladin
open coral
You'll need to get to Ishgard in the Heavensward expansion to unlock DRK
sullen pulsar
The shame of FFXIV is if you run a lot of dungeons, you out level the gears they give you from quest. The thing I like about Stormblood is that even if you do all the side quest, you won't out level they gears rewards too much 1-2 lvl at most it seems
plush hound
@naive zealot the devs thought of that. The Job you took the quest with is the one you get credit for and the one that has to turn it in.
open coral
For dailies it matters
median locust
They still have to meet the level/class requirements though
open coral
That was the original question
median locust
Gotcha
open coral
But yeah, for regular one-offs, as long as the job you use to turn it in is high enough level, it doesn't matter what job you were when you accepted it.
wintry compass
whats the "my feisty little chocobo" quest do
open coral
It allows you to use your chocobo as a combat companion
median locust
Allows you to get your chocobo out on the field and help you kill stuff
slate carbon
for pixie quests it says daily allowance what does that mean?
median locust
You can only do 3 a day
open coral
You can only do 12 beast tribe quests per day
median locust
Unless you just ranked up, then you might be able to do 3 more
magic beacon
Means you can do up to 12 total, but 3 per beast tribe
remote lintel
^
open coral
Each tribe (except Ixal) only has 3 per day
plush hound
You have a certain amount of beast tribe dailies you can do per day. 12 at max.
remote lintel
pixies give 3 quests and you can take 12 beast tribe quests
slate carbon
LOL thank you all
median locust
All ARR tribes have multiple quest givers, but some give more than others
open coral
Ixal have like, 16 or something that you can potentially choose from
plush hound
ARR beast tribes can fill that max out on their own, HW and beyon Beast tribes only give 3 per day though.
magic beacon
All the ARR beasties have extra quests as you rank up

Glamour questions should go in #glamour-discussion though

Well you can get it for 1100 poetics at level 70
wintry compass
im in it for the grind
magic beacon
Its hardly a grind
wintry compass
cant i glamor it over my current weapon ?
magic beacon
Yeah
median locust
You can, but only at level 70+
remote lintel
your weapon would need to be lvl 70
median locust
When your current weapon is 70 too
wintry compass
thats a phat grind im in for then huh
kind bison
ilvl?
kind bison
oh, thats not too bad then
wintry compass
mmm i thought black nights unlocked in ishgard at lvl 50
plush hound
Not really. By the time you get to that point you'll probably be able to buy it outright.
wintry compass
thats what ive heard
magic beacon
They do
kind bison
tthey do
remote lintel
theyre story locked
open coral
You have to be level 50+ to reach Ishgard, but they unlock as level 30
wintry compass
but the weapon is wielded at 70
magic beacon
Yeah
remote lintel
yes?
median locust
Yes... the classes can level up
magic beacon
So you level up Dark Knight
median locust

That particular appearance for it is level 70

also is there multiple pieces i would need to get or is it a set from a dungeon

You get a full set of "artifact" gear at level 80, just as you do for 50/60/70

For free

That set linked is just from the job quests/MSQ (kinda)
