[leaden ginkgo]

Recommended melds for Scholar?

[faint flare]

Comfortable piety > crit > det OR dh (det for overal damage and healing, dh for more damage focus) > sps > piety

Goes for all healers

[limpid lantern]

Do the red pins on the map have any significance ?

[halcyon glen]

Piety to comfort > crit > DH iirc

or det yeah

[faint flare]

Pins are points of interest

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you ❤️

[limpid lantern]

For the sightseeing log ?

[magic beacon]

Pins are like towns or landmarks, helps you get around

[faint flare]

No

[hasty sapphire]

Can all mounts fly? Does the bike from the MOG station store fly?

[magic beacon]

Just helps you know where you're at. There are 1 or 2 SS logs in every area

[remote lintel]

yes when you unlock flying

[median locust]

All mounts fly

[hasty sapphire]

Very cool, this place is so helpful, I appreciate y’all

[median locust]

Even mounts that shouldn't be able to fly at all

like how does a bear fly

[remote lintel]

it believes in itself fissie

[magic beacon]

Like the T Rex from anemos

Just starts floating

[idle sentinel]

Behemoth makes me laugh flying

[hasty sapphire]

Lol maaaaagic bear

[median locust]

I need to start believing in myself

[limpid lantern]

Its fairy dust from neverland

[magic beacon]

Believe in the me that believes in you

[halcyon glen]

oop @leaden ginkgo pre-bis melds according to balance are Piety to comfort ► Spell Speed (until 1015 for 2.43 GCD) ► Critical Hit ► Direct Hit = Determination ► Spell Speed

[magic beacon]

Yours is the Drill that will Crit the heavens

[halcyon glen]

so make sure you get 2.43 and then go into crit

[median locust]

Fire IV that will burn down heaven

[limpid lantern]

But gcd is 2.5 from its own right ?

Or is it 3

[median locust]

2.5 is the base GCD

[halcyon glen]

2.5 yes

[limpid lantern]

Why is a 0.07s decrease so important ?

[white sierra]

So the story is pushing me to do my first dungeon, ive been playing solo cuz im shy and have no friends that play this, and im honestly both a bit scared to reach out and dunno what to do.. im also scared I won't play very well as im visually impaired to a degree and might miss some things.. any advice?...

[limpid lantern]

Isnt that insignificantly small ?

[median locust]

Over a 10 minute fight it adds up

[remote lintel]

@white sierra what role

[white sierra]

Magic DPS

[magic beacon]

It allows you to line up your skills with the entire raids

[white sierra]

Arcanist soeciffically

[remote lintel]

magic deeps is easy

[halcyon glen]

@white sierra Don't worry too much! The only things you need to not miss in Sastasha are like two giant orange circles 😛

[remote lintel]

all you do is attack

[magic beacon]

So that while you use your burst phase, the ninja is using their Vuln Down skill and the sch uses Crit Up

[remote lintel]

if youre really that worried just tell them at the start that its your first time or whatever and they wont care

[hasty sapphire]

@white sierra I actually just started as well, but I started tanking, talk about diving in! At the beginning of the dungeon, I simply type /p hey guys! I’m new, is there anything I should know about this dungeon? Thanks!

@white sierra people are generally very nice

[magic beacon]

That's a good move, most people are very forgiving when youre honest

Like 9/10

[limpid lantern]

I have been playing pretty much with people where i can and i have not encounteted any one not nice

[hasty sapphire]

I had one bad dungeon, as in, it was the manor and I had just hit 28, so it was tough, but the people were patient with me. Next run was no wipes, super fast clear!

[limpid lantern]

Are we allowed to cuss to a certain degree ?

[magic beacon]

If you curse AT a person you can get suspended or banned

[remote lintel]

the only times you need to worry about your performance really is if a dungeon has hard mechanics and during trials/raids

[magic beacon]

Like if you call someone names or say Fuck Off

That can get you in trouble

[limpid lantern]

Ah no i wanted to say i didnt encounter any assholes at all during all my party play

[remote lintel]

ive seen people curse at others and the mods didnt care

[limpid lantern]

So not specific at someone at all

[magic beacon]

No but its better to be safe than banned

[limpid lantern]

In fact, in al my years of gaming i have not seen a better community than this one tbh

[remote lintel]

it's pretty good yes

[magic beacon]

You can call someone a meany dumb dumb no problem tho

[remote lintel]

ouch

my feelings

[white sierra]

Deep cuts man

[faint flare]

Its nice by very very thin skinned most the time

Personal experience

[remote lintel]

ive seen some better communities

[magic beacon]

Yeah imagine asking the healer to...use their DoT what kind of MoNStEr ArE yOU

[hasty sapphire]

Wow @magic beacon Easy there cowboy, lol

[remote lintel]

fatter cat or sds fenrir?

[magic beacon]

I'm a renegade

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it still possible to get the Lucian Prince's jacket?

[hasty sapphire]

@remote lintel I’m in the same boat, this sale has got me lookin

[remote lintel]

you too huh

[halcyon glen]

@leaden ginkgo Not currently

[twilit arch]

@leaden ginkgo currently no, its possible they will rerun the event

[hasty sapphire]

@remote lintel also looking at the whale

[halcyon glen]

The developers have indicated maybe the event will rerun

[hasty sapphire]

Is that not something available in New Game +?

[white sierra]

Well i guess I'm off to go find a party then, thanks for the advice and encouragement

[magic beacon]

No, events arent in NG+

[strange coral]

NG+ doesn't cover limited-time events currently. If it did, rewards probably won't be available in it.

[remote lintel]

events are real time stuff

[hasty sapphire]

@white sierra early dungeons it’s mostly “don’t stand in stuff” and a few mechanics, you got this!

[agile laurel]

i distinctly remember my first sastasha, i sat at the entrance for 16 minutes, was mildly confused by a lalafell, and then went in and shot things til they fell down. new players' dungeons are quite simple mechanically

[hasty sapphire]

Ah, didn’t know it was limited time events

[remote lintel]

i would recommend speaking to the npcs outside sastasha

they are a very small detail that has continuity throughout ARR

[agile laurel]

Oh yeah

Same for the first few starting dungeons actually

[twilit python]

if i upgrade to the shadowbringers digital collectors edition will i get the aetheryte earrings? or were those pre order only and there is no way to get a similar item until next expansion pre order?

[faint flare]

Pre order only

[twilit python]

aight thx

[hasty sapphire]

Where can I go to see how many player commendations I have?

[faint flare]

Character page > reputation

[hasty sapphire]

Ty!

[leaden ginkgo]

So is tthere a huge info dump about 5.3 that I can see? Cause I have almost no idea what to expect.

[remote lintel]

[twilit arch]

more main scenario quests, the 2nd 24man alliance raid, crafter beast tribe, continuation of the shadowbringers relic and introduction of the bozja zone

more quests to the sorrows of werlyt questline

[remote lintel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7MmfJIGiNo

[leaden ginkgo]

I'll be in lore spoilers

[limpid lantern]

Small question, does raiton do less damage on lightning mobs .

[twilit arch]

no, elemental resistance isn't really a thing. only place where such things play a role are in eureka

[remote lintel]

@white sinew sounds like you didnt fulfill all requirements

[little swift]

@white sinew afaik just wait out the remaining duration.

@remote lintel they did that leve type just lets you keep going

[remote lintel]

oh

[little swift]

Its like that submit q thing fate

You can keep going for more contribution

[remote lintel]

yeah i see

[mossy tartan]

What does the word “churning” mean? Specifically in the churning mists. I didn’t quite understand the browser’s definition

[remote lintel]

like swirling

[plush hound]

Rolling over itself

[mossy tartan]

thank you

[limpid lantern]

Do we as players have elemental resists or something of the sort ?

[agile laurel]

often used in the context of making butter

and suchlike

Elemental resists used to be a thing

they are now not

except in eureka

[twilit arch]

no, elemental resistances are not a thing outside of Eureka

[hardy abyss]

hey guys, I'm looking for something of a "gem" for crafting collectables for yellow scrips.
is there a general item people do that's easier than most or cheap to do?
have lv80 armours and 71 weapons for each crafter.

also 80 gatherers so perfectly happy to farm what I need

[obsidian patio]

Refined Natron is the go-to option for most people in terms of yellow scrips grinding.

[hardy abyss]

perfect, thank you

[simple pine]

is there a way to see all inventory bags at once?

[leaden ginkgo]

Best way to level up 77-80 without MSQ because I have pepeg pace?

[agile laurel]

dungeons i suppose

or pixies

[leaden ginkgo]

No MSQ = no high level dungeons

[twilit arch]

there's an option in character config to expand inventory @simple pine

[leaden ginkgo]

61 is my highest

[agile laurel]

oh

[remote lintel]

msq

[agile laurel]

or roulette spam

[white sierra]

So much for 5 minute wait times lmao

[shrewd owl]

dps queues are pain most of the time

[remote lintel]

dps get 15+ min queue

[mossy tartan]

I often see many people crafting in eulmore. Are there some sort of delivery requests? And where can I accept them if any?

[faint flare]

They're doing collectibles

For scrips

[left moth]

there's a weekly custom delivery there, and collectable counter

[mossy tartan]

Where can I initiate it?

I found it after a quick browser search, never mind

[left moth]

might need earlier custom deliveries unlocked to see the eulmore unlock https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Oh,_Beehive_Yourself

same with collectable turn in https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Boutique_Always_Wins

[gritty oracle]

Which is a better free teleport point in Norvrands, Crystarium or Eulmore, after sfinishing 5.0?

[raven sage]

Eulmore

[ionic hazel]

whats the point of having the buff Aetherflow is gathering in the body

[agile laurel]

it indicates aetherflow stacks

for scholar and summoner

it's crucial to their kit

[shrewd relic]

For squadrons bonus MGP, how much do they bring back?

Just got the chemistry but not sure if its worth picking up

[ionic hazel]

ah

[obsidian patio]

@shrewd relic last I remember it’s usually a couple thousand MGP or so

[signal garnet]

Friend is asking if he will get something back since he bought an item that went on sale a day before the sale went out. I know you probably cant but I just need confirmation here lol

[normal breach]

im nearing the end of heavensword and im confused on midgardsomr is he good or bad? or do we get more about him in later parts of the story?

[signal garnet]

midgarsomr is a good boy

[agile laurel]

#archived-lore-spoilers kinda

[signal garnet]

youll learn a bit more post hw

[normal breach]

oh lemme go post in spoilers lmao

[obsidian patio]

@signal garnet from what i generally hear, no. But it never hurts to try submitting a ticket to see if they’ll do a partial refund to match the sale

[signal garnet]

Well I bought it for him so might as well try lol

[ionic hazel]

but the most obvious answer is no, but like Wynne said you lose nothing for asking

[signal garnet]

Where would I go to ask?

[obsidian patio]

Square enix support through the mogstation

[ionic hazel]

i accidentally bought a 2nd set of glams but i didnt bother asking for a refund even tho it was their error that charged me twice

._.

now theres a set of glams in my mailbox that wont go away

[white sierra]

How does the loot system at the end of dungeons work? The need/greed/pass thing i mean? I didn't have time to read the thing about it

[ionic hazel]

Need and Greed are two separate roll systems

All the people who press "need" will roll and whoever gets the highest gets the item

if no one rolls for need Aka everyone passed/press greed

the people who pressed Greed will roll

and ofc whoever gets the highest will get the item

pass is obvious

[halcyon glen]

And you can only roll "Need" on gear if you can equip it

[frigid bough]

As a brand new player having completed around 50 msq's, I'm outta gil and probably made a mistake buying armour. I need gil for teleporting mainly, any recommendations for beginner gil making?

[remote lintel]

need always beats greed

do the msq

[halcyon glen]

^

your next main story quest will get ya enough gil

[remote lintel]

and dont buy armor

[frigid bough]

Just do all of them?

[white sierra]

Ah ok, I passed as im a caster and both items were war items

[halcyon glen]

Also: go do the Hall of the Novice

[frigid bough]

Without stopping

[ionic hazel]

never buy armor from markbet boards or vendors

[sleek roost]

You shouldn't be spending gil at all in the early game really

[remote lintel]

you get plenty of gil from msq

[ionic hazel]

its a HUGE waste of gil

[sleek roost]

Dungeons give you free loot and MSQ gives free gil

[halcyon glen]

I mean I bought 480 armor from mb

but like

[ionic hazel]

i sold all my quest gear into the marketboard and all the suckers made me rich lmao

[remote lintel]

level cap is different

[ionic hazel]

2m gil

[frigid bough]

Okay so I should stick to MSQ until? All complete or..? Thanks BTW guys

[remote lintel]

making gil is more efficient at max level

[nimble holly]

when will the augment mats for crysta gear get added to the nuts shop for shb?

[frigid bough]

So I'm gonna assume that's a yes @remote lintel

[remote lintel]

sure

[halcyon glen]

How to Progress FFXIV Optimally:
Do these
Do these if possible
Ignore all other quests

[remote lintel]

there isnt really efficient ways below 80

[frigid bough]

I don't really wanna shoot for the stars or anything, I just want like 5k to teleport comfortably... I've got a lot of job quests to do

[remote lintel]

then the msq will give you enough

[halcyon glen]

then go do job quests

[remote lintel]

in like a few quests

[frigid bough]

I'll just continue msq then, thanks

[halcyon glen]

Also, have you done Hall of the Novice?

[tulip skiff]

What is this macro I keep hearing about to crafting?

[frigid bough]

Uh I'd have to check gimmie a sec

[remote lintel]

you should be doing job quests

[halcyon glen]

and what level are you

[tulip skiff]

Someone was saying it’s important to fast level crafting

[frigid bough]

Is am doing job quests on the side, levelled 4 job classes to 20-30

[remote lintel]

@tulip skiff people make macros to craft things for them so they dont have to press buttons every single time

[frigid bough]

I am*

[halcyon glen]

and you did this without the Brand New Ring?

[frigid bough]

Yep I have no idea what that is

[halcyon glen]

Cool

[signal garnet]

What can I use my poetics on to sell on the market?

[halcyon glen]

Go do hall of the novice

[tulip skiff]

So you make the craft with one button

[fierce elm]

how to open smn quest lvl 35 ?

[remote lintel]

kinda

unequip your job stone and go to limsa

wait

unlock summoner or the lvl 35 smn quest

[frigid bough]

Hall of the novice, sounds good. Is that a msq?

[jagged crow]

Am I able to relocate to a different apartment or do I have to sell/leave the first one?

[wraith plank]

the lvl 35 smn quest i believe

[fierce elm]

the 35 lvl

[remote lintel]

its in gridania

[fierce elm]

ik

[halcyon glen]

nope. Either talk to the NPC with a sprout icon in one of the main cities or port to Aleport and go to the large hall you see as you walk to Sastasha

[frigid bough]

Level req?

[halcyon glen]

15

[remote lintel]

@jagged crow pretty sure you have to leave the first one and then buy the other one

[frigid bough]

Oo perfect. And this gives me a ring which helps me..?

[wraith plank]

what he means that the quest is red

it needs something from him

[halcyon glen]

30% exp buff until level 30

As well as level 15 gear that has better stats than any other gear you'll get until level 30

[fierce elm]

its say dungeon requirement the navel

[halcyon glen]

Well then go do MSQ

[remote lintel]

^

[halcyon glen]

and unlock and complete The Navel

[fierce elm]

ok thanx

[halcyon glen]

that's a level 35 trial fwiw

[remote lintel]

early summoner job quests require msq

[agile laurel]

Regarding dragoon, if I delay my first life in order to buff stardiver in life 1, that means I can go back to back straight into the next life. Is that what I'm meant to do?

[frigid bough]

How essential is sending retainers on ventures

[little swift]

@halcyon glen lv34

[jade quartz]

Not essential

[halcyon glen]

see this is why we don't listen to ddrox

[plush hound]

It's how they level up and gives you more loot

[jade quartz]

Nice bonus

[little swift]

sending retainers on ventures is not essential but can bring you nice things

[plush hound]

So it depends on what you want to use them for.

[little swift]

can do some of the legwork for you if you're a crafter as well

but never essential

[frigid bough]

Thanks

Actually kinda good cause I enjoy the disciple of hand stuff

Land

[worldly cape]

is there a way to get "Brand New Ring" again?

I can't find it anywhere and I don't see calamity salvager having it

[jade quartz]

Redo the final Hall of the Novice mission

[worldly cape]

cool, thank you!

[jade quartz]

But first you can try an item search of all your inventories and storage

With /isearch brand

[worldly cape]

already tried, it doesnt find it 😄

thanks though

[frigid bough]

Housing is way down the line for me but how hard is it it actually get a plot currently?

[plush hound]

Borderline impossible

[jade quartz]

It is annoying and time-consuming and has a significant luck factor

But it is not impossible

[twilit arch]

given that auto demolish is turned off

[jade quartz]

And it is not an unrealistic goal

[twilit arch]

its highly unlikely right now

[magic beacon]

the only winning move is Not To Play

[jade quartz]

Currently more difficult than usual due to the auto-demolition timer for inactive players being disabled due to covid

[magic beacon]

yeah but its been off for like a year

[jade quartz]

Will become a bit easier again when it’s back up

Only like five months

[magic beacon]

first it was eathquakes, then it was waves, then it was the goddamn plague

[twilit arch]

auto demolish was turned off in march

[frigid bough]

And just curious, how many plots are there? And how long until they auto demo usually

[gritty oracle]

can i join potd floors 50+ on a base class? (not job)

[magic beacon]

yes

[gritty oracle]

21 wards times 60 plots per ward

multiply with four housing zones

[faint flare]

And 4 housing districts

[signal garnet]

Is there a good item to sell on the market board that you can buy with poetics

[twilit arch]

auto demolish happens when the house isn't entered for 45 days

[jade quartz]

That equals 5040 btw

[frigid bough]

So around 5k, that's a lot more than I thought tbh that's good

[jade quartz]

Per server

[sacred furnace]

if you're collecting atma nuggets as a paladin, do you need to equip BOTH the sword and the shield? or can I get away with just using the shield and my regular sword?

[frigid bough]

Thank you

[violet acorn]

Hi, I'm about to go to dinner but I've been playing as a white mage and my friend gifted me the lv 70 paladin bundle thingy, could someone DM me a few tips on tanking as a paladin?

[jade quartz]

Have Iron Will on when tanking

Do combo

Keep up DoT

Spam AoE on 3+ targets

[violet acorn]

Thanks for the easy tip

[jade quartz]

Use fight or flight before goring blade

Once FoF wears off use requiescat + 5x holy spirit

Keep cooldowns rolling during trash packs

Remember arm’s length is also a defensive cooldown

@white sinew not possible I’m afraid

Can disable all tells with /busy status

[obsidian wren]

Also disables trades

[jade quartz]

And trade requests, party invites

[obsidian wren]

Maybe pt invites?

[jade quartz]

Can’t

Can just stop displaying your name for yourself though

[obsidian wren]

Cant u Right click your name in the party list and change from the profile thingy?

[jade quartz]

There’s really no reason to have it on your screen

That changes your actual status

[obsidian wren]

Ah so

[jade quartz]

If someone keeps sending you random tells you can always just blacklist them

By the way, the sound notification when you receive a tell can be turned off in chat log settings > notifications

[gritty oracle]

so I went to enter potd floor 50+, and PL queued us up but it said I don't meet requirements. (I'm going in as rogue.) I had a level 51 gladiator save, so I reset it, but now it's level 1. I saw no option to reset to 50. What did I do wrong?

[sage oriole]

@ionic hazel wondering what the Red Hare and Mystic Panda look like with a Roegadyn player riding.

[slate carbon]

Dark mind reduces magic vun, what does that even mean?

[jade quartz]

Means defends you from magical damage

[magic beacon]

it makes magic attacks do less damage

[jade quartz]

Reduces your vulnerability to magic

[slate carbon]

LMAO WHAT i didnt even know there were differnet types of damage, how do I know which ones are magic

[faint flare]

If it looks magic, it probably is

[magic beacon]

eh you kind of just have to tell, or look it up

[jade quartz]

You just sorta know

[magic beacon]

if theyre not physically hitting you its most likely magic

[faint flare]

If you're being smacked with a weapon, probably physical

[jade quartz]

Most raidwide damage is magic

[magic beacon]

in fact, most damage is magical in nature anyway

[sturdy canyon]

There are rare exceptions, like O11 TB “Mustard Bomb” but what everyone said

[magic beacon]

it basically protects you from most damage but definitely not auto-attacks

[sturdy canyon]

TBs are almost always physical

[jade quartz]

TBs vary depending on the raid tier

[magic beacon]

yeah but you should be using TBN for a buster anyway

[jade quartz]

True that

[slate carbon]

TBN?

I dont think i have that skill yet

[magic beacon]

and probably not any other mitigation since you want The Blackest Night to break

[jade quartz]

Level 70 DRK ability

[slate carbon]

ohhhh

[magic beacon]

its the 70 DRK skill, The Blackest Night

you put up a shield aroudn you and if it breaks you get a free Edge of Darkness attack

its a thick sheild too, and you can put it on other players as well

WHM gonna die in AoE? sheild him, then counterattack

[remote lintel]

how hard is it get bronze or silver rank in the feast

[magic beacon]

depends on your team

if you have good communication, easy as pie

[remote lintel]

you need a set team?

[little swift]

depends on the time in the season

if you don't do it like first week of the season

[magic beacon]

if youre just qureueing in solo, good fuckin luck

[little swift]

you're gonna hvae a tough time getting queues

[remote lintel]

why do they do this to me

[runic prism]

Hey guys
I have a question regarding the new free trial

[magic beacon]

i mean, we can set up a team here

[runic prism]

I bought the game when stormblood came

I leveled up my character till level 59

I my subscription ended

I stopped playing after that

Can I play the game for free

[little swift]

you will not be eligible for the trial on that account, no

[runic prism]

With the new trial?

[little swift]

you own a full version of the game

you cannot return to the trial

thats not how it works

[runic prism]

Then can I make a new account?

[warped nest]

Yes

[runic prism]

But I have to start everything again right

[warped nest]

Trial version of the game (or any game) are meant to attract new players, not to benefit existing one

[runic prism]

I see

Thanks for the help

[mossy tartan]

Does the bonus exp from food applies to any and all exp-increasing methods?

[crimson wind]

When was XIV at its peak amount of active players

[odd sluice]

I'm really new and I was wondering what limitations I have visiting another world. I saw a bunch of things that I don't even understand, will I be able to do Dungeons and Raids?

[faint flare]

Yes

[warped nest]

@odd sluice you just can't use your retainer and cannot join FC, iirc

[odd sluice]

Thanks! So I can pretty much create my character in any world

[warped nest]

World visit is limited to within the Data Center (collection of Worlds)

But yes

[sturdy canyon]

@odd sluice you can’t retrieve mail while world visiting either. You can’t interact with legendary or ephemeral gathering nodes

[warped nest]

Oh, I didn't know about the gathering stuff

!faq worldvisit

[zinc orbit]

World Visit System

The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.

More information

[odd sluice]

@sturdy canyon That sounds important, but I think I could just hop back to my world right?

I don't even know what that is

[zealous phoenix]

Where can one find starter gear for Archer? I need level 1 gear but can't find any

[sturdy canyon]

@odd sluice yea it’s not that important. You really only use legendary or ephemeral gathering nodes when you’re farming for very specific mats for certain items. Despite the name they appear regularly every 30-60 minutes, depending on the node. So you’re not really missing anything big. And ya, you can just jump back to your own server if you want to farm them

[jade quartz]

@crimson wind so far it’s increased with each expansion launch

So seems like we’ve yet to peak

[odd sluice]

Alright, thanks for all the info, you guys are amazing,

[crimson wind]

Ok

I thought peak was late HW

[tidal yarrow]

how can I see the % of the health of the enemy?

[jade quartz]

@finite swift account-wide items take longer to deliver

[tidal yarrow]

I saw some people having it on screen but I can't find how to

[crimson wind]

Because on some SB release vids the world queue was 800 and queue at start of ShB was like 500 ish

[normal breach]

what daily do i do to get poetis?
is it the 50/60/70 one?

[jade quartz]

Server infrastructure was improved

[crimson wind]

Do all your dailies

ah

[jade quartz]

Also world populations have been rebalanced

[twilit arch]

mail still takes a bit to arrive

[jade quartz]

I recommend being patient

[twilit arch]

just be patient unless its been over 24hrs

[warped nest]

Can anyone help @tidal yarrow with her "show enemy health percentage" setting?

[short jasper]

what daily do i do to get poetis?
is it the 50/60/70 one?
@normal breach

Most of them. Look for the blue and red usb-stick-looking icon in the roulette rewards

[jade quartz]

Not possible to delete Mog Station mail without claiming the items

[twilit arch]

character config > ui settings > hud @tidal yarrow

there's an option in there to show target's remaining hp as percentage

[jade quartz]

I very much doubt that will happen

If it does, email support or send an ingame ticket through the support desk

there's an option in there to show target's remaining hp as percentage

[short sparrow]

On PS4, how do I add a second hotbar which I can control with a keyboard? Can I do that?

[raven sage]

character config> hotbar settings> Display

Then select the boxes for whichever hotbars you want to show

[short sparrow]

Thank you.

[raven sage]

Move them around in hud layout too

[short sparrow]

Thank you, this works very nicely.

[tidal yarrow]

does she have a name? she very cute

[remote lintel]

who

[tidal yarrow]

blonde miqote

[remote lintel]

no

[tidal yarrow]

wow

[twilit arch]

yes she does

she's in ala ghiri

[tidal yarrow]

oh sweet

thx~

[remote lintel]

you can see npc names over their heads

[twilit arch]

J'dyalani

[upper prism]

man oh man

[tidal yarrow]

she hadn't any name on her

[upper prism]

i just finished heanvesward

and what a ride

[remote lintel]

yeah i dont think its in that scenario

[twilit arch]

she's not named in that solo duty

[tidal yarrow]

i just finished heanvesward
gratz, I loved last trial.
are you in the right channel tho

[upper prism]

im definetely not, but heres where the cool kids are at

[tidal yarrow]

I sometimes type in this chat just to have a lil talk with some ppl here too lol

[upper prism]

lol see, you know what i meant

[tidal yarrow]

Vinyl in this chat been helping me since day 1 I still remember it lol, everyday I have some dumb questions to bring here

[short sparrow]

So I'm working on my hotbar layout. I'm wondering... is there a nice quick way to change to whatever class? I tried having a hotbar which was buttons for different gear sets, but there are a lot of them now.

[upper prism]

who usually helps me here is Cerberus and someone else i forgot the name rn

[violet acorn]

Hi all

Oooh I am purple

[upper prism]

oh yeah and Vinyl Tails

hi @violet acorn

[faint flare]

I saw that

[upper prism]

c: shh

[little swift]

[violet acorn]

Glamor is the true end game

[upper prism]

indeed

[little swift]

@short sparrow try taking a look at the pins in #protips-and-ui they show how you can create a customizable menu system using hotbars that might help you sort your classes better

[violet acorn]

I love my cleric outfit but the conjurer arms I have clash a bit

[short sparrow]

Yeah, that's the stuff. Thank you.

[violet acorn]

Is it okay that I have been ignoring all of the non combat classes because I don't really care for them?

[little swift]

yes

they're side content that you never have to touch if oyu don't want to

but each class has a pretty decent class quest storyline if you're ever interested in those

plus they're a good source of gil earning as you max them out

[violet acorn]

Thanks

[little swift]

also you can craft some of your glams instead of buying them for stupid amounts

[remote lintel]

i heard me

[violet acorn]

But the game gave me the best outfit already

[simple pine]

where can you search FCs like you can players?

[obsidian patio]

Nowhere for in-game.

The lodestone website lets you search from there but it won’t let you apply to their FC from the website

You’d have to find a member of the FC or their house if they have one to access their FC menu to submit an application for joining

[leaden ginkgo]

are the stats displayed in the attributes tab the total stat value or just the added stats?

[obsidian patio]

Total

[tidal yarrow]

every lvl80 dummy has same hp?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

If you mean the stone sky sea dummies then no

[tidal yarrow]

how much hp is that? maybe I can calculate my dps

no I mean normal ones

[obsidian patio]

No idea. I play on PS4 so I can’t see exact hp values

[tidal yarrow]

I also do

[delicate ivy]

I haven't played since heavenswards. What do I need to buy to get caught up?

[obsidian patio]

Just Shadowbringers

[leaden ginkgo]

where can I see the maximum possible stats with current gear for all jobs?

[magic beacon]

i mean, it varies

it depends on what gear you ha ve, theres multiple sets

[leaden ginkgo]

I see

[magic beacon]

some jobs want different substats than others, so "maximum" varies too

like Black Mages want spell speed, and Red Mages don't at all

[leaden ginkgo]

I was thinking about black mage with 3020 spell speed, but I don't know if it's possible

[remote lintel]

its possible

[magic beacon]

theres sets with like 3600 spell speed

[leaden ginkgo]

melded?

[magic beacon]

probably, idk

check The Balance discord for sets

[twilit arch]

3761 sps is how much the sps BiS has

[leaden ginkgo]

melded?

[magic beacon]

most of that would be from max substat gear

[twilit arch]

yes thats with melds

[magic beacon]

but yeah melds would be needed too

[leaden ginkgo]

I don't want the highest possible, just comparing to the spells I feel comfortable casting

[delicate ivy]

So I only need to buy shadowbringers to be caught up? Will I still be able to play through stormblood 🤔

[remote lintel]

yes

[magic beacon]

like 1600-1800 is very comfortable spell speed

[leaden ginkgo]

I'll have to try then

[twilit arch]

Black mage is flexible in that you can make its rotation work with various sps tiers

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm currently lvl 70, I have like 900 SS

[twilit arch]

it doesn't absolutely need sps

[magic beacon]

you do want a certain amount tho

[leaden ginkgo]

but 900 feels slow

[magic beacon]

it is

[obsidian patio]

You basically just don’t want to be at baseline SpS for the main rotations

I think the lowest-SpS accommodating opener starts working at 600 or so?

[twilit arch]

558 is pretty much minimum

[leaden ginkgo]

I want to unleash at least three F4 on opportunity windows, which is what I was able to do at lower levels with F1

excluding F3 procs

I felt comfortable like that

[warped tinsel]

Not sure if this is a halfway decent place to ask this, but for the past 20 minutes I've been trying to figure this out and I can't. My hotbar 1 and 2 are coyping each other. If I put my LB on hotbar 2 (where it normally is) in slot 1 it overwrites my tincture in slot 1 of bar 1, and vice versa. My normal settings have all hotbar sharing toggled off and I've even tried every combination of sharing on/off for bar 1 & 2. No matter what combo I use (all off, all on, one off & one on) they copy each other. Anyone have a clue why?

[magic beacon]

are they being "shared bars"

[leaden ginkgo]

they said it's off

[warped tinsel]

It's all toggled off.

[leaden ginkgo]

Best melds for Ninja/Dancer?

[remote lintel]

crit > DH > det

[leaden ginkgo]

@warped tinsel turn on hotbar numbers

probably one switched to 2

[simple shore]

Can you be more specific about the issue

Like, you gave us an example of "if i put LB on (this hotbar) it pops up in (slot 1 of bar 1)

[leaden ginkgo]

there's a little arrow that make you switch hotbars, I think only hotbar 1 can do that

[simple shore]

But is it that it always pops up in (slot 1 of bar 1) or is it, "it pops up in (the equivalent slot of the equivalent bar)"

[warped tinsel]

Somehow the cycle keybind got hit even though I never use it, it was toggled to bar two instead of bar 1. Thanks @leaden ginkgo

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah, disable that

[simple shore]

lol

Yes get rid of that shit

By unlocking blue mage

What did you throw out your BLU weapon

....

[remote lintel]

i think theyre unlocked by leveling up/doing the quests

calamity salvager?

[leaden ginkgo]

wouldn't the calamity salvager sell one?

ditto

[simple shore]

@finite swift you need to go to Calamity Salvager

1000gil to replace it

[delicate ivy]

How do I recruit a friend? I went here
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/friend_recruit/
then the mog station but can't find it there

[magic beacon]

lol, threw away your only weapon

hilarious

[leaden dove]

i havent played in a few years, but i just resubbed and the game wont let me login.

[remote lintel]

click the recruit a freiend banner on mog

[versed aspen]

hey guys do u know a way to go from south shroud "quarrymill" to Ul'dah? please i need help!

[delicate ivy]

Ohhh, maybe it's ended

[remote lintel]

its not

[delicate ivy]

Where is the banner locatedÉ

[remote lintel]

log in to mog

click your account at the top

[violet acorn]

Is bard still a joke in every final fantasy game ever or is it any good in ff14?

[remote lintel]

all jobs are good

and it's getting buffed next patch anyway

[twilit arch]

do you have an active subscription, covaxe

[violet acorn]

thanks

[delicate ivy]

No, I was thinking that might be the issue. Is it supposed to be somewhere up here?

[twilit arch]

No

[remote lintel]

no scroll down

[twilit arch]

the banner to generate a RAF code will only show if you have an active sub

[remote lintel]

you can recruit people during the 30 free days you get

[delicate ivy]

My friend wanted to get into the game and I haven't played for a few years and was gunna start when he did with the update on the 11th

I guess I'll sub a bit before

[remote lintel]

you should be able to recruit as long as youre not on the trial

[naive kraken]

still dont do my rotation completely XD

[twilit arch]

You have to have an active subscription

you cannot generate a RAF code if your account is inactive

[idle trellis]

Where is Sprint in the ability book? I took it off my action bar while I was setting things up, but now I want to add it back and I can't find it anywhere.

[twilit arch]

in the general section

[idle trellis]

Ah, there it is. Thanks

[leaden dove]

I go to login and this is what I get.

[leaden ginkgo]

Do you get the drops from exteemes if you do a practice party?

[twilit arch]

if you kill the boss, yeah

did you buy the game thru steam, crix

[junior yacht]

"Practice" parties are just a designation in PF to help people find each other

[leaden dove]

dont think so. its been a while

[junior yacht]

the actual fight is the same

[remote lintel]

did you sub?

[leaden dove]

yes

[twilit arch]

check your mogstation, and also make sure to check to see if your status has been changed to "active"

[verbal scaffold]

Hey all. Been playing the game for a bit, one of the rare MMOs I'm enjoying enough to go to endgame I believe. Thing is though, I'd like to play through that with a class that actually feels engaging.

I'm looking for a job which has a rotation that isn't
1-2-3, repeat
or 1-2-3, other 1-2-3, and so on
I don't know, just looking for an engaging rotation or something difficult enough for me not to get bored. I don't mind procks.

[remote lintel]

bard

dancer

machinist probably

[leaden dove]

yea, it says remaining days 60

[remote lintel]

otherwise pretty much all classes have a 123 combo aperture

[naive kraken]

summoner is a good one then

[little swift]

all jobs early will feel like this

[simple shore]

DNC is RNG hell, so there's that.

[little swift]

they sorta start coming together by like 50-60

and still change as you kepe leveling them

[simple shore]

MCH is....123 until overheat window, then its SPAM BUTTONS HARDER HOLY SHIT

[twilit arch]

and on the account type section. Does it say Standard or Standard (Steam) (or legacy if you're a legacy player)

[short jasper]

hey guys do u know a way to go from south shroud "quarrymill" to Ul'dah? please i need help!
@versed aspen

Go south to the south exit of South Shroud. This will take you to East Thanalan.

From there, go west, across a bridge. This should be a safe route. Make sure to use aetherytes on the way in case you do get attacked.

Past the bridge is Drybone. From there, the southwest has an exit to Central Thanalan, which is right next to Ul'dah.

[verbal scaffold]

Yeah yeah. I get that. Endgame gets different. But I don't wanna go through the pain of leveling again multiples jobs if one doesn't suit me. Just need something kinda difficult, really

[remote lintel]

expansions jobs don't start at lvl 1

[leaden dove]

oh. it says standard (steam)

[remote lintel]

so you could do those

[leaden dove]

@twilit arch

[verbal scaffold]

can do expansion jobs

just need something to aim for

[remote lintel]

bard has no rotations at all

dancer has minimal rotations

[simple shore]

Yeah, but.....at the same time, BRD has a thing that he probably wont like

[remote lintel]

except bard has the song things i guess

[twilit arch]

ok so they made changes to the steam version of the game in that you have to launch from steam. Though i believe #technology-discussion has a workaround pinned in there, im not 100% sure on that

[open coral]

BRD is just tracking like, five different procs simultaneously

[remote lintel]

eh not that much

summoner has a whole 2 minute rotation at lvl 80 so you could do that

its def one of the busier and more complicated jobs

[simple shore]

which is "if RNG fucks you during Mage's Ballad, you literally spam 1 button until it stops fucking you. also get fucked during Army's Paeon because its shit."

[remote lintel]

bard is great

i love bard

[verbal scaffold]

Ight. Will check these 4 out then. Cheers

[remote lintel]

alternatively become a healer

then every encounter will be different as you drag your party to sweet victory

[simple shore]

WHM, a.k.a. Green DPS

[simple pine]

can you try on multiple items at once?

[twilit arch]

yes

[verbal scaffold]

Yeah I've looked into the game's healers, they look very boring to me. Not the role at all, simply the jobs

[twilit arch]

there's a button in the preview window, its something outfit

[remote lintel]

astrologian is considered the more difficult healer

[verbal scaffold]

Astro seems ight tho

[remote lintel]

its very busy

[verbal scaffold]

ye

[open coral]

AST is buffs but they're RNG, decent healing, and mediocre dps.

[leaden dove]

thank you @twilit arch

[simple pine]

the "fitting room"? i don't see such a button

[open coral]

WHM is strong healing, and sacrificing your party's sanity and HP for those sweet, sweet blood lilies.

[remote lintel]

@simple pine click the button at the bottom of your character that saves save outfit

[faint flare]

The window that appears when you try in stuff

[remote lintel]

looks like a page

[faint flare]

Is the fitting roon

[simple pine]

i see, thanks. sorry dismissed that because i thought it would save the preview somwhere

like the character creation thingy

[verbal scaffold]

Also, is there a way to make the effects less flashy ? I have limited effects on because the brightness of some effects just gives me a headache, but it'd be cool to still see all of them.

[magic beacon]

not really, just turn down brightness or turn off effects for people not in your party

helps during 24man

[faint meadow]

Where's a good spot for a level 53 to do some fates?

[smoky glade]

are there lvl 80 vendor gear that cost gil?

or poetics?

[magic beacon]

Tailfeather

@smoky glade nope

[remote lintel]

poetics are for below 80

[smoky glade]

oof okay thanks

so phantasmagoria is the lowest currency gear?

gotta get crafted accessories for my retainer then 😭

[remote lintel]

the lower ilvl gear for 80 yes

[magic beacon]

or just run Amaurot a few times

[remote lintel]

phantas arent hard to get

run hunt trains

[smoky glade]

oh right

i just turned all those stuff in for gc seals

[magic beacon]

bummer

[smoky glade]

been lazy to run hunt trains lol

[tulip skiff]

Do the story quest for crafter give level 50 gear at the last for 50?

Like a full set?

[raven sage]

Not a full set

Just pieces to choose from

[tulip skiff]

Aww that sucks:(

[simple shore]

Just get to 51 and buy vendor gear

51, 61, 71 buy vendor gear. Thats the only time you should really need to upgrade your shit tbh

Until 80

[mental garnet]

for overmelding, do i just keep going at it or should i be doing something that can increase my chances?

[twilit arch]

just gotta keep going at it

[mental garnet]

kk

[twilit arch]

the % chance is based on the grade of the materia and the slot

[simple shore]

Sacrifice a baby to RNGesus

That works for me usually

They unlock specific timer nodes in their respective expansion zones

for Miner/Botanist

They do something for Fisher, but tbh i have no idea what the ShB one even does

[tulip skiff]

how do you get a lot of yellow script at 50?

[twilit arch]

they unlock several lvl 80 fish

[simple shore]

Its about the best thing you can dump yellow scrips on for gatherer anyway, so you may as well

[twilit arch]

you can always get hi-cordials or materia instead

[simple shore]

That isnt really gonna make a difference.

[twilit arch]

yes, nodes unlocked from the folklore books will also be useable for collectables

[simple shore]

Plus getting 70-80 on Gatherer is super fast anyway

Do the crystalline mean shit, do Diadem, do Qitari dailies

[frail fulcrum]

If I buy the fenrir on MOG station, will it appear on all of my characters, and characters I make after the purchase?

[simple shore]

You get an obnoxious amount of hi-cordials from the two crytalline mean questlines

[twilit arch]

its an account bound mount, so all characters

[simple shore]

Like 65 iirc

[frail fulcrum]

I see, thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

is there any reason to have Repose on my hotbar as astro?

[frail fulcrum]

There's no expiry date to get it right? @twilit arch

[twilit arch]

ehhh, not really

and no, there's no expiration date

[frail fulcrum]

Yay thanks@twilit arch

[simple shore]

i honestly dont understand why Repose is in the game still

[twilit arch]

it does have some niche use, like in eureka

if you find yourself in a pickle

[faint flare]

Because that 1 role quest needs it

[simple shore]

I just feel like it, and fluid aura, could be deleted and nobody would notice

[frank chasm]

Is there a way to get botanist gear without spending Gil?

[simple shore]

At what level

[faint flare]

Make it yourself

[frank chasm]

Level 53

[simple shore]

I mean, you could get scrip gear but the vendor gear is vastly superior and easier to get

[frank chasm]

Where’s the vendor gear and script gear?

I want to do collectibles anyway so maybe script is a good idea

[simple shore]

You should be able to buy everything you need in the jewelled crozier area in Ishgard

for vendor gear

scrip gear is gonna be ARR gear, is the thing, so you're honestly better off buying the vendor stuff

TL;DR scrip gear happens at 50-60-70. Vendor gear happens at 51-61-71. Meaning that its "new expansion" tier stuff

[twilit arch]

hmm

there's no 50 scrip gear

[simple shore]

Oh right, i forgot, gatherers got hosed at 50

[twilit arch]

can get forager's hat and the mh from gc seals

[frank chasm]

I’m confused

Okok

Oh awesome

[twilit arch]

but ultimately easier to just push to 51 and grab that gear

[frank chasm]

I have gc seals

Botanist is 53

[dire cipher]

Do I need to be in HW to unlock scrips?

[twilit arch]

yes, the unlock quest for scrips in ishgard

[frank chasm]

Are scrips collectibles?

How can I do those?

[twilit arch]

yeah, you turn in collectables to get scrips

[frank chasm]

Oh cool. Is there a limit?

[twilit arch]

nope

can turn in as many as you can gather or craft

[frank chasm]

Inscrutable tastes is the quest?

[twilit arch]

yes

that's the unlock

[tulip skiff]

What is the efficient calculation and should I be doing what is says?

Scratch that Idk how to make it work

[fringe pilot]

Do square enix show the emote before preorder or do they have players show it such as Shiva and odin

[twilit arch]

iirc they showed off odin and shiva emotes

[faint flare]

They haven't showed the omega one yet

[fringe pilot]

Yeah I wonder when they will. Thank you for getting back to answering the question. Any way I can buy the figurine from Australia?

[odd sluice]

Why do I get some items like this? What's different besides the lvl requirement?

[raven sage]

The item level is higher

And you want to be raising your item level as often as possible

[sick knot]

starting out a level 60 DNC, what're the recommended stats? the Shire accessories are for all classes so I can't tell which ones I should get

[twilit arch]

buy conservator's accessories

DNC uses dex

[odd sluice]

And you want to be raising your item level as often as possible
@raven sage Does that change my power alone?

[raven sage]

Yes

[odd sluice]

Thanks, I didn't know that, I was looking only for stats lol

[raven sage]

ARR gear is a little weird and gives the wrong impressions of strength in the game

[sturdy canyon]

@odd sluice he is incorrect. ARR itemization is stupid and sorely needs a revamp. Generally speaking and once you’re over lvl 50, higher item levels means better gear, because it has better stats

Those two items are effectively the same

[raven sage]

I'm not wrong ARR is just odd

But yes you really don't have to worry about it quite yet

Just get in the habit of watching ilvl

[odd sluice]

Alright, thanks! 😄

[sturdy canyon]

But also pay attention the the stats. For instance, you get “Brand New Gear” set as a reward for doing Hall it Novice, and while it is ilvl 17, it will be better than most gear until about lvl 30, despite having a lower ilvl

[leaden ginkgo]

is it possible to have multiples of the same item with different dye colors in the glamour dresser?

[remote lintel]

yes

but I wouldnt

because you can dye it on the plate

so it doesn't mess with the default dye

[leaden ginkgo]

I was more worried about the price of some dyes

[jovial hornet]

I'm at the quest Wrath of the Titan and it's telling me there is a req __"All classes and jobs (exluding limited jobs)(lv30)". __
Does that mean I need to level everything to lv30 before I can do it?

[raven sage]

no

[remote lintel]

it means you can be any ckass

[raven sage]

It means any job can do it

[remote lintel]

except blu

[tulip skiff]

Is there a guide that explains how to use each crafter ability properly?

[jovial hornet]

Oh, gotcha. Thank you very much

[tulip skiff]

Some abilitys I’m not sure how to put to good use

[leaden ginkgo]

I think crafting rotations become more relevant at higher levels, but if you aren't aiming for something specific (like a high quality item), I wouldn't really worry about it right now

[tulip skiff]

Yeah it’s to make high quality items

so I can get the most exp

[leaden ginkgo]

I think there's a website that can optimize your rotation depending on level, gear, materials, and skills

I don't know if the extra exp is worth the extra effort though

[tulip skiff]

I just wanna know how to use certain a ability properly. Like everything I’m finding is old cause the ability has been changed. Like brand the element that I’m not sure how or when to use

[odd merlin]

Hmm, I am doing the Book of Fire I and it asks me to do grand company levequests- But the last one I need to complete is called "The Awry Salvages" but I've done the leve twice now but it doesn't get checked off in my book

[raven sage]

Are you using the weapon?

[odd merlin]

🤡

Thanks

[magic beacon]

which ability @tulip skiff

[tulip skiff]

Brand of the elements @magic beacon

[magic beacon]

So Brand of the Elements is used to finish your Progress bar after you've filled up your Quality bar.
You use Veneration, Name of the Elements, and Brand of the Elements

[tulip skiff]

It looks like it’s a worst basic synth

[magic beacon]

Veneration lasts 4 turns, so you use Name of the Elements and you have 3 turns of bonus Synth on top of your 300% synth for Name+Brand

depending on how tough the craft is, you may still need to use Careful Synth to finish it off

make sense?

[tulip skiff]

Yeah kinda

[hybrid ether]

how can i joinjna guild?

[tulip skiff]

Seems like something you use on like level 80 high level craft yes?

[hybrid ether]

sorry for my spelling

[magic beacon]

i used it all the time as soon as I got it

[tulip skiff]

Not useful for level 50 yet?

Oh

[magic beacon]

i mean, if you have it use it

Veneration is a lv15 skill

Name and Brand are like 30ish skills

[obsidian patio]

@hybrid ether ask around in the main city marketplaces where lots of people hang around

[magic beacon]

Veneration works the same way Innovation does, but for your green Progress bar

[obsidian patio]

You can also try searching for a recruiting FC for your server in #recruitment-primal

[hybrid ether]

there isnt a discussion @obsidian patio tab or something where people dicuss their guilds or something?

[tulip skiff]

Ok I use it

[obsidian patio]

Not really

[magic beacon]

people will shout out recruitment calls in main cities

[obsidian patio]

Some party also advertise their FC in party finder

[magic beacon]

if you want one just shout "looking for FC" and i guarantee you'll get a few /tells

[remote lintel]

but not necessarily good fcs

[unique oasis]

when is yokai event 2?

[magic beacon]

i mean what

what's a "good" fc

people are people

[simple shore]

Does it keep the exp buff up at all times? Its a good FC

lol

[unique oasis]

sometimes my fc has

meat and mead and back on your feet because we raid

:)_)

[oak ice]

I would classify a good fc as one that fulfills your needs, whatever those may be

[remote lintel]

a good FC doesn't just recruit people to boost their ranks

[magic beacon]

and you can get squadron exp buff that's just as good

[simple shore]

I honestly find FC's to be just so irrelevant that its kinda like....buffs or gtfo

[magic beacon]

that's pretty bleak my guy

[unique oasis]

yeah ok but what about the yokai event

[simple shore]

State of the game

[magic beacon]

haha lol yeah sure 5.3 a week away and the game is "bleak" sure

[oak ice]

Pointless argument either way

[halcyon glen]

that said, let me tell you about my FC

[simple shore]

You raid with your static, which is almost never your FC. FC's are 90% "invite anything with a pulse" and "its just one guy because of the housing situation"

[remote lintel]

I've been in my FC ever since I was a noob and we've set up treasure map runs, a static, and thinking about doing eureka now

[unique oasis]

my fc basically is my static

[remote lintel]

^

[simple shore]

Yeah but thats uncommon

Most statics are formed cross server

[unique oasis]

there's just 1 guy whos visiting from another world cause he cant transfer for 90 days after creating his character

[halcyon grail]

Trying out Marauder, and I miss my spin-to-win for aggro.

[unique oasis]

@obsidian patio i love you thanks

[simple shore]

tbh we werent ignoring you Kawa, i just literally dont know the answer because idgaf about yokai event.

[halcyon glen]

Yokai event is a patch-long FATE farm-fest

[simple shore]

I'll be completely ignoring that one.

Got better things to do than grind for plastic swords

[halcyon glen]

From what I've heard, the first couple weapon glams are easy to get

[simple shore]

Yeah....but if i dont want the glams, easy doesnt make it any more desirable, heh.

Yokai glams make Gold Saucer glams look serious.

and its gonna be conflicting with Bozja during its lifecycle

[remote lintel]

the mount tho

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it possible to move my purchases from one character to an alt if I delete the main character? So let's say if I bought maid costume?

Can I reclaim

[raven sage]

You'd just be throwing away the outfit

[leaden ginkgo]

O no ):

Ty

[crimson wind]

Do i need to do the Light step of Pyros for BA?

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok, so I've a question if anyone knows by any chance. The ARR storyline revamp, will people who were in mid like 2.X patch would have to redo the whole thing again? If so I need to inform a friend of mine before it happens ^^' anything said about that?

[simple shore]

There's no way they'd have to do that

[leaden ginkgo]

or it just happens with newly created chars

[simple shore]

It probably applies to everyone

but you wouldnt have to restart lol

[halcyon glen]

Your currently accepted MSQ may change

it may get a new goal or be removed entirely

and you'll be able to accept the next one

probably

[noble ember]

Has the whale mount always been a two seater I could of sworn it was one

[strange coral]

My thinking is that most likely if the quest you're on gets modified, you'd have to restart it (just that quest). If it's removed, you won't have it anymore and will have the next one available.

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok sounds reasonable. Thanks all

[remote lintel]

@noble ember its always been a 2 seater

afaik

[raven sage]

It has been yeah

[slate carbon]

so for drk, do I just spam unleash and( spam flood of darkness until I run out of mana) im lvl 50

[sleek roost]

Should be a four seater

[magic beacon]

for aoe? yeah kinda

at 50

[slate carbon]

yea

[magic beacon]

throw in some 1, 2 combos to regenerate MP

but yeah spaming unleash is your jam

[magic beacon]

Bloodweapon will help you regain MP too

[thick fable]

Did I accidentally shoot myself in the foot by leveling marauder instead of gladiator

[faint flare]

No

[remote lintel]

how

[thick fable]

What does warrior have over paladin

[remote lintel]

crit

a big axe

self sustain that doesnt eat a chunk of your mp

[jade quartz]

They are very well-balanced.

Tank balance is incredibly tight.

Play what you enjoy.

[mossy tartan]

Where can I find level 60-70 DoH gear vendors?

[jade quartz]

Kugane, or yellow scrip exchange

[mossy tartan]

ty

[unborn fox]

do i have to complete every single main quest? even the Seventh Astral Era Quests at 50lvl?

[fresh lodge]

Yes

The MSQ is a single, continues quest chain

[dapper shadow]

400 dps difference at top percentile in savage is pretty insignificant everywhere else (tanks be dealing 10k+). I’d argue since you have more sustainability over other tanks, WAR is a tank healers will love. @thick fable

[unborn fox]

daamn. i hope the quests get better at sevent astral era already since umbral has been pretty garbage most of the time

[jade quartz]

400dps difference is fairly insignificant even at the top percentile.

[dapper shadow]

And for savage progs ppl are going to pick war over any other tanks as well

[jade quartz]

That’s not likely at all

[remote lintel]

what

you just need 2 different tanks

[jade quartz]

Yeah seriously

Tanks are a grab bag

[dapper shadow]

If you have a static and tanks can flex into other tanks

[jade quartz]

Literally anything is fine

[dapper shadow]

Tier progs are more favorable to have a war fill one slot

[jade quartz]

Even for crazy minmax people

[open coral]

A good WAR is a joy to heal. A bad WAR is an absolute nightmare.

[jade quartz]

People are more likely to play whatever they want.

[remote lintel]

id say that would go for basically any tank

[dapper shadow]

Im not talking about class viablility im talking about advantages of war over other tanks

[remote lintel]

what advantages tho

[dapper shadow]

Like for gnb they do beeg dps

[open coral]

WAR doesn't have any advantages over other tanks.

[jade quartz]

You’re saying that there is an any way significant chance that a WAR will get a slot over another tank

Which is. Misinformation.

[simple shore]

WAR has the shortest cooldown on its "immunity" and the best self healing. There. That's your advantages.

[open coral]

I'd almost say that they're at a disadvantage.

[jade quartz]

Please don’t spread it here.

[dapper shadow]

Bruh

[simple shore]

WAR is statistically at a disadvanage right now.

[jade quartz]

Doesn’t accurately reflect what’s actually likely to happen in the raid community

[simple shore]

FFlogs proves it just by the quantity of parses.

But the disadvantage is not significant

[remote lintel]

people will pick a player good at another tank rather than a player okay at WAR

[simple shore]

I dont really get why this guy is trying to argue that WAR is somehow superior though

Its just provably not

[dapper shadow]

Can peeple read im not sayin war is superior

[jade quartz]

That is what you were saying

[simple shore]

You literally are saying that

[jade quartz]

Also that it was more likely to be picked

[simple shore]

and its factually false

its the least likely to be pickd

[jade quartz]

Which the information available to us demonstrates is untrue.

Anyway this can be dropped now

[celest herald]

So the credits for heavensward rolled for me and I’m trying to unlock all the lv 60 dungeons but “it’s getting Sirius” is not available for me even though I’ve cleared the normal dungeon?

[remote lintel]

you mean it's not there or it's locked

[celest herald]

It’s not here

At Limsa next to the dude no blue quest

[jade quartz]

Did you complete the quest for Pharos Sirius?

[remote lintel]

you completed "why so sirius"?

[celest herald]

yeah that’s how I got the first dungeon?

[jade quartz]

Did you complete it

[proud willow]

there is another quest after the one that involves running the dungeon

[leaden ginkgo]

is this the biggest sale for mog station? planning to get 2 emotes and yshtola dress, was wondering if theres a bigger yearly sale or something

[jade quartz]

Clearing the dungeon != finishing the quest

[remote lintel]

i don't think they have set sales?

[jade quartz]

They don’t have set sales really

[remote lintel]

im pretty sure this sale is because they hit a milestone

[jade quartz]

But they’re not likely to discount anything more than this in future sales

You’re not likely to see any 50% sales in future

So if things you want are on sale, I’d say now’s the time

[thick fable]

So I did shoot myself in the foot by picking marauder then

Great.

[remote lintel]

no

you didn't

[jade quartz]

No!

[analog gate]

you can change back and forth between classes, so it's not really a big deal

[remote lintel]

!faq metameme

[zinc orbit]

**Do not use this to answer questions**

[jade quartz]

We just had a long conversation about the opposite

You can’t shoot yourself in the foot by picking a class

[thick fable]

Well that conversation went from WAR is great to WAR is at a disadvantage

[jade quartz]

There are no bad choices.

Not a disadvantage that’s meaningful

[remote lintel]

the disadvantage is so slight that it doesn't even matter

all jobs can do endgame content

[jade quartz]

And we get balance tweaks every three months

Including one coming in under 2 weeks

[proud willow]

which is why we hate for this conversation to even come up

[jade quartz]

We’re serious when we say play whatever you want

Play the class that’s fun for you

[remote lintel]

all 👏 jobs 👏 are 👏 good 👏

[jade quartz]

Balance is tight.
