is there a way to see rdps in act?
#questions-and-help
dapper shadow
No cuz dot crit calculation cannot be done realtime
delicate stone
ah, so you'd have to upload to fflogs to see?
sturdy mason
Why is the necklace not visible here?
dapper shadow
Its more intricate that that but simply yes. If you want to view rdps upload
delicate stone
sorry, im still really new to this. would you mind explaining the intricacies? id really like to get good at the game so any bit of advice helps!
dapper shadow
ACTs cant handle dots very well. For crit/dh buffs like litany and battle voice, how do you know crits are happening due to those skills? How would you attribute rDPS? ACT dont handle these calculations, but fflog does
remote lintel
@sturdy mason probably the top doesnt allow necklaces?

is there an easy and fast way to report bots?
there was like 5-6 of them around me and I couldn't find the report button

Only fast way is if thet have said something in chat
Then you can rightclick report
Otherwise you need go to support wrbsite and report to STF

You dont have to go to the website, it can be done in game
hardy abyss
seen rumours of new crafting "gear" coming in next patch. afraid to add materia/buy main/offs for crafters I'm yet to do anything with.
this true, or am I safe to upgrade?
simple shore
System -> Support Desk -> Contact Us -> Report Cheating
to report bots in game
@hardy abyss its not rumor. Its fact.
simple shore
I mean, all they've said is that there's a new set of DoH/DoL stuff. Just like the last two expansions.
Obviously they wont tell us the specific stats, or requirements
That'll be a patch day discovery process
Though you can pretty much assume that the new stuff will require materials from the Dwarf dailies
Since it has the last two times
hardy abyss
would there be new master recipes coming from that then?
ah
Facet gear just be null and void then or somewhat of a viable budget gear?
history shown anything like that when this has happened?
with the former crafted
simple shore
Generally speaking
hardy abyss
of course
simple shore
the new tier that gets added in .3 patches
is pretty hard to make
Like, you'll probably need Facet just to make it
simple shore
Tradeable almost certainly
hardy abyss
true. I haven't been around long enough to establish the trends you're referring to
I used to make food/pots in SB
but unsure if I want to bother upgrading my current facet gear
as more is coming 😒
rocky tree
is there site/tool that would let me see where the mobs for hunting logs are located? Also, is there a way to find the best "levelquests" for my level?
simple shore
The hunting log literally tells you on it where the mob is located
oak ice
Gamerescape or consolegameswikia will have coordinates for those elusive ones
simple shore
and what do you mean by "levelquests"
hardy abyss
leve quests?
simple shore
Hence why i ask, because combat leves are awful
so if you mean leves, dont do leves
oak ice
And they're called leve quests, no second l, and they are not good for leveling combat classes
simple shore
Not worth
simple shore
The amount of time you'll waste getting those entries done
you could have earned 3 times as much as the bonus exp by just spamming dungeons
hardy abyss
combat leves suck to do. very time consuming, little reward.
if you're achievement progging, it's preferred to do gather/craft leves, not combat.
if you want xp, don't bother imo
red junco
Are level skips permanent or a one-time item
crimson wind
I play on PS4 and hopped on a hunt train recently. A few of them didn't pop up. How can I adjust my settings to stop this from happening?
simple shore
What do you mean by "a few of them didn't pop up"
crimson wind
Couldn't see some of the Hunt Train targets
simple shore
But you could see other people fighting them?
crimson wind
yes
gloomy ice
@red junco They are single use items for a single character.
red junco
So if I delete that character, the tome goes with it.
simple shore
Yes.
rocky tree
The basic hunting log is split by "classes", can lancer log be completed by other class or do the mobs have to be specifically killed by a lancer?
simple shore
You must kill them as the class
@crimson wind from what im reading about it, you will want to turn off battle effects for everyone but yourself, as well as names for others, when going on a hunt train if thats happening to you.
vocal shell
@crimson wind It’s more of a game problem than anything, pretty sure alot of people have commented on this.
simple shore
Its pretty much just a PS4 problem though
vocal shell
Something about minions and players getting loaded first
simple shore
So i cant comment more
vocal shell
Nah, same on PC
simple shore
Ive never once had it on PC and ive been doing hunt trains since forever
hearty dome
Hey, anyone know how to resize the buttons for the text chat? I can resize the box itself and move it around, but no messing around with resolutions or UI sizes makes the buttons smaller.
crimson wind
Yeah guess i just can't prevent it and I'll hope for the best
simple shore
When you say "the buttons" do you mean the chat tabs?
vagrant scroll
i feel like i never see GNB, is the class less played than other tanks?
hearty dome
Yeah these.

leaden ginkgo
whats spiritbonding
simple shore
If you look on this item :
That's where its shown
As you kill enemies/craft item/gather items with the item equipped, the percentage will go up
at 100%, you can right click the item and Extract Materia to get a materia from it and reset its spiritbond to 1%
and just to be clear - thats generating a new materia, not removing one already on it
simple shore
Not material.
Materia
As in, the stuff you stick in the sockets on gear
That's those two green circles in the screenshot
So like, hypothetically i could slot some crit materia into that weapon to have more crit
It's not really worth worrying about socketing materia onto your gear until 80 though
leaden ginkgo
hm okay

etc.
oak ice
Excellent description of what it does
cobalt pagoda
so you just obtain Materia from using your equipment???
oak ice
Pretty much
It's random materia, though, and takes a long time, so it's not the best way to get it
dapper shadow
Many other ways to obtain materias as well.
remote lintel
there are way easier ways to get materia
and at lvl 80 spiritbonding is pretty slow
turbid crystal
can you change your character race once you've created one?

Only through usage of a Fantasia

rocky tree
So I have another question. Does the 450 limit apply only to the currency next to it?
raven sage
yes
rocky tree
and does it apply to earning or spending
raven sage
Earning
simple shore
Earning
You can only earn 450 Allegory per week
Given that you have 0 of both Allegory and Phanta, its not something to concern yourself with because im assuming you aren't 80
rocky tree
not even close ^^
simple shore
Allegory can (except for hunts in ShB....) only be acquired at 80
limpid lantern
Any other places to earn a fantasia potion ?
dapper shadow
At the end of 2.0 and then with real money
limpid lantern
Oh nvm, i didnt notice the second comment :)
simple shore
There's technically other ways but
Not for you
Fantasia was also given as part of the old veteran rewards.
So when i made a new character ~2.5 months ago, i got some as soon as i made it

Does the 30day/month long timer start when you pay, and continues on that day going forward, or is there a specific day that all subs need to pay on?

it starts when you register the game iirc

Still thinking about grabbing it, will probably procrastinate for a while more

remote lintel
i mean the free trial is going to expand
torn moat
True, but....
limpid lantern
Isnt the free trial limited to no party play ?
remote lintel
you cant invite but you can be invited
limpid lantern
Yeah k figured DF was different since dungeons and trials are required in MSQ progress
But thata really generous
simple shore
I dont really see a reason anyone in the trial period would want to be in a pre-formed party anyway
Since 1-50 is basically a solo game
remote lintel
to play with friends
limpid lantern

simple shore
Yeah but its not like "playing with friends" enhances the MSQ experience, heh.
limpid lantern
Me and my girlfriend both started at the same time so we partied everywhere except solo instances because solo instances is a thing xF
remote lintel
but friends
dapper shadow
What kind of hackers
simple shore
Define "hackers"
remote lintel
you cant really hack this game without it immediately noticing
simple shore
There's bots who do that but they get quickly banned

in my personal experience hackers are basically nonexistent
the more common issue is bots

Theres a guy here and in town earlier who is constantly appearing and disappearing and killing mobs

I wonder if anyone can answer my question. So my friend started playing FF14 so I want to start playing again.
I have a ps4 and it's link to my very old account, but I cant for the life of me remember it. So I want to make a new account so I can make a new character so I can start fresh. I don't have the Key code for it.
If I buy a digital copy of FF14 to my ps4 can I use the same psn account to make a new character??
dapper shadow
They abuse positional loopholes to clip and teleport to places
dapper shadow
Theyll get banned eventually

Good to know ff14 is active in dealing with this stuff ^^

Been playing for a couple days, new player, and I saw a few of these bots.
At first I thought it was some weird unique feature. Mostly because the bots were underground and spamming a stone spell, I think thats white mage, at random mobs around the girdania forest.

a "feature" alright

Im at lvl 46 now and this is the first one i see

no
if youre going to start crafters then level them all at once
except for like culinarian
for gatherers you can do whatever you want but fisher is the worse of the 3
hollow belfry
Did i do it right for hand/land?
dapper shadow
There isn’t really big gil to be made with a singular crafter because you will need mats from other crafters as well, so your revenue wont be as high as if you just craft it yourself. Since all crafters share leveling gear, leveling all of them at once eliminates the need for your armory to be clogged up with the entire crafter’s leveling wardrobe
remote lintel
sure
little swift
You generally want your gatherers to be about 5ish levels above your crafters while you're leveling for ease of access to materials but you're doing great! @hollow belfry

i'm assuming hes on trial

Hi guys. Can someone help me with quest "The Light of Inspiration" (79 lvl). I did all my role quests and up 80 lvl. But quest is still locked to me.
zinc orbitBOT
spring frigate
but i did it :c
little swift
Are you sure? You should have a key item to give to grenoldt after
spring frigate
the last one is locked for me too (80 lvl i mean) cause for it need "shadowbringers" MSQ
little swift
The bonus one isn't needed
That just gives a title and materia
Can you show a screenshot of your completed role quest chain
And also what happens when you interact with grenoldt
little swift
Yeah you're not done your role quest chain
spring frigate
Oo
little swift
You have to do the lv80 
little swift
Its not your job npc
normal breach
what class is easier dark knight or warrior?
little swift
Its the npc you finished the last role quest at
simple shore
DRK is "easier" in the sense that mistakes cost you less.
But you also have to manage more on DRK
So idk, up to you
spring frigate
@little swift okay, i understand. Ty so much * - *
normal breach
what do u mean manage more?
i play both and swapped to dark knight and played that for like a week and just swapped back to warrior and warrior feels much difficult to me not sure if im doing something wrong
trail prairie
does dancer give you like a lv70 coffer?
little swift
Warrior is definitely easier
normal breach
feels like theres a lot more abilities i need to use on warrior
little swift
No it doesn't @trail prairie
trail prairie
ah okay, ty
little swift
Only the 80af is a thing
simple shore
So here's the thing with DRK
You need to manage your mana
its not really a factor until 70
at which point it becomes a huge factor

when you tank do you generally only turn on one defense cd at a time?
so shadow wall first then when its gone u pop rampert
or do u pop them together?

slate carbon
LOL I had that exact same question today
normal breach
how do u know what enemies do magic damage vs physical?
trail prairie
twelves be i am an idiot, i thought it was sheer amazing coincidence that the lv70 coffers just so happen to give me the same glam i had at the end of storm blood, all augmented scvean too. nope. just turns out i forgot dancer is ranged dps and i had BRD and MCH leveled to 70
trail prairie
time to desynth some items
little swift
As in physically it hits you
dapper shadow
If it looks magical, its probably magic... except sometimes its not. Moral of the story its through experience..
remote lintel
if youre not sure just slap it on anyway
little swift
Generally things like raidwides tend to be more magical and things like tankbusters areusually physical
dapper shadow
The surefire way is to upload a log to fflogs and see incoming damage types
little swift
But there are cases of the opposite happening
trail prairie
how to undo opening coffers

Vengeance rampart arms length reprisal raw int
Thrill
Equilibrium
That's 7? I suppose
And holmgang
little swift
Drk does feel like its missing some stuff until you get tbn
But tbn is big value
Yeah I main war I was just trying to name them off the top of my head
normal breach
maybe thats why warrior seems harder to me
little swift
Thrill and equilibrium aren't really defensives arguably
Theyre used while another mitigation is on
To help your healers output more dps
normal breach
cycling through 8 defensive cds whle trying to keep storm up and then managing beast gauge
little swift
You don't have to cycle thrill and equilibrium
Just use those when you need to givw yourself hp
So basically off cooldown
If you're fighting a boss
You only really need to mitigate during tankbusters and raidwides
You only cycle for large trash pulls
normal breach
what are "tankbusters" and "raidwides"
remote lintel
tank busters are usually really strong single target target attacks on the main tank
normal breach
so from boss fights?
remote lintel
i say usually because sometimes they have splash damage
yes
and raidwides are raid wide damage
little swift
And raidwides (or roomwides) hit everyone in the boss arena
normal breach
what does he mean when hes saying i only need to mitigate during that
what skills are mitigation
remote lintel
use your defensive cooldowns when a tankbuster is coming
simple shore
As in, if i was on DRK, i would only use TBN to block those abilities.
little swift
Mitigation are your defensice skills you weee talking about
simple shore
Because autoattacks are irrelevant ignorable damage
on bosses
on trash its different, of course
normal breach
so i dont use mitigation on dungeon mob pulls?
simple shore
Yes you do
remote lintel
you do
normal breach
i just tank it all and healer heals me
simple shore
that';s where you use almost all of it
remote lintel
you use a lot of defensive CDs on trash
simple shore
For WAR, that means rotating through Vengeance, Rampart, Arm's Length, and Reprisal.
normal breach
thought he was saying I only need to mitigate during tankbusters
simple shore
ON BOSSES

on trash its different

Yes you should @keen fable

how do you keep it up all the time?

If you do not have Storm's Eye up 100% of the time you're doing it wrong.
normal breach
have it up and then spam the two aoe combos to keep it going?

You refresh the combo at roughly 7 seconds of buff duration left @normal breach

Until 70, that means being at 100 gauge, having a Storm's Eye that isnt about to fall off, and having just hit Maim. Then you Berserk -> Fell Cleave -> Infuriate -> Fell Cleave -> Infuriate -> Fell Cleave -> Upheaval -> Storm's Path -> Fell Cleave
At 70 it changes because Berserk turns into Inner Release and you dont have to deal with gauge fuckery

hows machinist compared to bard?

Machinist is...."do your 1-2-3 until your gauge hits 50. Then crazy button spam. then back to 1-2-3." oversimplifying of course.

naive kraken
im comitting, and once my monk is lev 80 all will be 80 XD just trying to figure out where to do them all
little swift
channel says no offtopic discussion. was discussing bard gauge XD
@naive kraken the idea behind having us mentors or mods reminding people about taking discussion elsewhere is so we dont scare off people who have questions with heavy discussion they feel they can't interrupt
Granted we're in a quiet time on the server so its more 
naive kraken
so with leveling roulette, when it says extra XP awarded for difference between duty level and your level, why do i have the feeling its not astronomical if im lev 75 and get a 70 or get sastasha, or are they commenting about adds experience? never understood that one
simple shore
Its saying that the bonus exp at the end is adjusted based on the level difference
i.e. if you're 75 and you get sastasha, you'll get a massive bonus at the end to compensate for the fact that the enemies didnt give you as much
little swift
Its an on completion bonus that considers your level difference to the content you complete
naive kraken
its just the way they say it, it sounds like if i get sastasha i should be getting 2 bars of XP compared to a dungeon closer to my level
oof thats the aarchanist/summoner tome, you're a scholar

hard elk

Cant be equipped by scholars
You'll see the glam if you swap to summoner
hard elk
does this happen alot when currently transfer a new server?
simple shore
That should have nothing to do with a server transfer
valid pecan
Okay got it, thanks
little swift
You shouldn't be logging in mid transfer
simple shore
If you're getting kicked out constantly its your connection
hard elk
this is my first time seeing this error
naive kraken
that's the general lost connection one
hard elk
i was at aegis
and just transfer today to omega
and ever since that i keep getting this error
simple shore
BLM question if anyone knows it, but i can just go look it up probably
Whats the bare minimum MP to Flare
hard elk
simple shore
I knew the answer to this back in SB but the answer has changed
naive kraken
it can be lost packets, ISP issues just for moments, DNS issues for just moments, up to server overload (rare, would be confirmed checking if servers are down)
simple shore
TL;DR if im getting kicked out constantly i go to command prompt and do a ping -n 100 google.com
hard elk
i see
simple shore
to see if im getting massive packet loss or some shit
weak mica
Hey can anyone help me with a issue I'm having server transferring?
obsidian patio
@simple shore 800mp is the minimum for flare/despair
naive kraken
are you wired/wireless connection?
simple shore
That's likely unrelated
naive kraken
no other congestion, no steam DLing in the background, no antivirus scanning?
hard elk
nope 😦
simple shore
Its almost certainly your internet connection taking a shit.
celest bison
how many NPCs can i have in my apartment? 4 or 10?
naive kraken
ISP/DNS is probably dropping just enough packets
simple shore
FF14 is super sensitive to packet loss
hard elk
i keep getting cut at cutscenes
simple shore
anything above 3% becomes unplayable
naive kraken
cutscene, stormblood.... RAUBAHN SAVAGE
hard elk
i keep dc here 😆
simple shore
It has nothing to do with where you are, or what you're doing
Its your internet connection almost certainly
naive kraken
can try to restart computer and powercycle your router and modem, but if its the ISP/DNS causing the issue, you can't do anything more than that.
celest bison
Nvm im only allowed to have 4 NPCs in apartment
naive kraken
4/6/8/10, apt/cottage/house/mansion

If you’re consistently DC’ing due to a cutscene or area transition your game data might be corrupted and can’t load it properly.
toxic glacier
Are there any specific details on how 5.3 will change the leveling? I plan to create a new alt for the first time. I can't bear to use a Fantasia on my main
obsidian patio
Only the general gist. 13% of all ARR MSQ will be removed entirely and be made into sidequests, while a larger portion will be trimmed/streamlined.
Fetch quests and monster killing quests will also be less grindy and require fewer of their things
So a quest that makes you grab 3-5 herbs off the ground may only ask for one when 5.3 hits.
toxic glacier
I'm in stormblood now and it's still endless fetch quests. I don't remember what it's like in arr
slate carbon
will they get rid of the 100 quest between ARR and HW
obsidian patio
Expansion leveling isn’t being changed at all in 5.3
Again, read the above.
It will trim some filler quests out of the main story and be made into sidequests, while streamlining a larger percentage of quests
slate carbon
thats good
toxic glacier
What's a good class to level as? I started my main as a pally but I felt it takes too long to kill stuff but the instant dungeon pops were really good.
remote lintel
whatever you want
naive kraken
you shouldnt be leveling by mainly killing non-duty enemies
slate carbon
^^
toxic glacier
Leveling as healer must be a pain though
remote lintel
why
simple shore
Healers are just green DPS
toxic glacier
Usually I just play the msq and do side quests when I can't progress anymore
naive kraken
WHM in HW
remote lintel
you don't do sidequests for exp
you do roulettes and beast tribes and the highest lvl dungeon
and my healer queues are faster than tank qs
little swift

slate carbon
healer isnt as bad as you think it is
toxic glacier
I have a whm but that was from spamming duties
slate carbon
i think its pretty fast to level as healer, i got my ast from 72-80 in two days
toxic glacier
@C> you do roulettes and beast tribes and the highest lvl dungeon
@remote lintel omg. I've been doing it wrong
valid pecan
I reached lvl 53 but I am not getting my 52 skill do you know why?
normal breach
Can you make an alt on the same server your on for free
normal breach
Which one is that
valid pecan
@remote lintel not sure
remote lintel
standard sub is a normal sub and entry sub limits your characters
valid pecan
Probably nah
remote lintel
did you get to ishgard
naive kraken
either 6 months at once or higher per month sub
crimson wind
What's the battle theme that plays during A Rank hunts?

leaden ginkgo
are melds relevant for retainer's gear?
naive kraken

does it matter if I let it as marauder?
naive kraken
thats pure ilev of gear
remote lintel
only ilvl matters
leaden ginkgo
or does it get anything better changing to warrior?
hollow turtle
Hey, if I want to transfer my character to a different data center, would it be free if the world I'm moving to is a preferred one?
remote lintel
and you won't get the exp buff
crimson wind
in which area
@remote lintel shb areas
white ether
What do you do with allagan catalyst
remote lintel

white ether
Is it worth making/getting?
leaden ginkgo
if I use a modern vocation on my Lv 60 marauder retainer to set his job to Warrior, is the current level reset?
remote lintel
if you want glam sure
normal breach
Is there any benefit to creating an alt on the same server as your main? Currently have the 13 dollar entry sub so I can't create 2 characters on same server. Is the only downside I can't play with people I currently do (which is ok since I can play with them on my main)
remote lintel
if youre using it for the first time it wont reset
glass shuttle
Hi i got a question, Somes bosses are solotable ? If yes do you need a job or a Level requirment to do them so ?
remote lintel
you can join the fc your main is on
@glass shuttle old content can be soloable
theres no level requirement
glass shuttle
Ok so if i want to do an old content Extreme i can do it with a lvl 80 character ?
remote lintel
it gives you the catalyst

@normal breach for me, i just want to play as a different race and not touch the appearance of my main. There isn't any other benefit though
remote lintel
@glass shuttle which extreme
glass shuttle
The olds primordials like Ifrit ect..
remote lintel
yes
dapper shadow
Yes you can just unsync and yeet most of them @glass shuttle
remote lintel
all of them really
glass shuttle
I guess the stormblood ones will need some gear ?
remote lintel
you cant solo those
dapper shadow
HW ones will need more than 1 person
glass shuttle
Ok ok just asking
dapper shadow
Ravana/bismark you can solo if you beeg damage
remote lintel
doubt it for bismarck
glass shuttle
Ok so for the old content like Heavensward-Stormblood i would need a lil party with me
remote lintel
for stormblood almost a full party
glass shuttle
Ok
obsidian patio
Bismarck is doable if you can burst down one of the snake adds fast enough
But it’s very tight and only a couple jobs can do it
dapper shadow
Usually for stormblood you’d want a full pt but you can have a healer solo heal or 1 tank if you know what u doin
obsidian patio
Like WAR/SAM/WHM/BLM

think the code is too tough to get a separation of roulette xp bonus and roulette tome bonus?
obsidian patio
The tomestones are meant as a compensation for not getting the experience.
for the roulettes that give less/no tomestones if you're not at cap.
naive kraken
id be inclined to do them twice a day though until everything is 80 XD

Question about relic weapons:
I've looked abit into the quest chain and stuff and it seems that the appearance of the weapon changes with upgrading the weapon too.
Do I have to redo the entire questchain again when I want an older appearance or can I acquire them some other way?
I also assume that Zodiac, Anima, etc. are different weapons and it doesn't go from final Zodiac > first Anima?
candid raptor
@distant ridge there's replicas for every step
obsidian patio
You can buy replicas of the previous steps once you get far enough into a relic to unlock them
for Zodiac you can buy replicas for a weapon once you fully complete it.
Anima lets you start buying replicas after the i240 step, and Eureka lets you once you get the Pagos weapon.
You can go final step of Zodiac to first step of anima, but it's not something i'd recommend doing so purely for skipping that step.
Though doing that lets you buy replicas of the zodiac weapons you sacrifice for the anima weapon without needing to carry the original (Anima/Eureka weapons don't need you to keep the original)
white ether
What level is the monster hunter quest
distant ridge
Alright, that's good to know. Wouldn't want to grind the other looks all over again. Thanks

You cant do social actions like form a pt, buy/ sell from mb, and stuff with free trial
obsidian patio
You can play with your friends, but if all of you are on the trial then you'll need someone else to form a party for you three.

Have you tried the request thing in your mailbox
rugged flicker
Request thing?
dapper shadow
There is a request mail button in your mailbox’s middle tab iirc
Doesn’t work 100% but worth a try

Nope, nothing

Fat cat is an account wide mount, it can take time to be delivered

Hello, I finally got my first crafters to level 80 so my question: what would be the best current available gear for crafters? Is it the one you can get with those white crafting scripts?
obsidian patio
the crafted Facet gear set is the best set available if you meld it. if not then the professional stuff is better.

Just got introduced to the pvp section of the game
The ctf thingy and the pvp arena
Is there any merit to play these modes? Are they popular within the community, do i get anything useful such as collectible/mount from that, should i bother if i am interested mostly in pve?
obsidian patio
each of the Frontline maps has achievements relating to them, including mounts when you win 100 times on them
This is the one for 100 wins on Onsal Hakair
There's also the different glamour sets of gear buyable with wolf marks at The Wolves Den
The newest set is Late Allagan, AKA cyber robot stuff, with the Maiming/Striking set making you look basically like Genji from Overwatch
charred rain
ok so i might give it a look sometime in the future
just to get some cool stuff, even though i am not very interested in the glamour thing
maybe for the mount idk
twilit python
is there a way to turn off the pop up that shows up everytime you finish a collectible asking if you want it as a collectable or a normal item? its helpfull 1% of the time but 99% of the time its just an extra click that i would rather have disabled.
obsidian patio
@twilit python AFAIK, no.

How hard is it to get kamuy of nine tails?
daring turret
Thx wynne
tidal yarrow
where can I find any?
obsidian patio
Decently hard, the primals past Susano/Lakshmi all have some amount of mechanics that you need to respect.
and all want a full party or nearly full party for mechanics to work correctly.
@tidal yarrow The Gyr Abanian Striking Dummy can be bought in Rhalgr's Reach from Eschina for 5 Veteran's Clan Mark Logs, which cost 500 Centurio Seals from Billebaut nearby.
which makes it a total of 2,500 Centurio Seals.
do note that it's buyable off the marketboard.
daring turret
I think theres one around a map right?
obsidian patio
natural level 70 dummies can be found in the lochs
near Porta Praetoria
