questions-and-help

[upper prism]

was a tiresome day but worth

[kind eagle]

well

i just use hud layout to move the hotbar

then char config

to edit it

[upper prism]

im about to need a 4th hotbar

also my health is 22226

4 hp off, damn

[short sparrow]

If I wanted to make a second character on an American datacentre, could I do that?

[median locust]

Yes

[faint flare]

Can make wherever

[kind eagle]

Are those new skill

or just upgraded

[median locust]

Upgraded with Tsubame Gaeshi

[faint flare]

Skills that cant be placed on the bar for the bottom half

Usually means something turns into it

[kind eagle]

oh

[lofty pulsar]

what is the command to check pings?

[faint flare]

Aka the iajutsus and Tsumbae

Nope

[twilit arch]

no

[faint flare]

Other than you just leave the party

[upper prism]

what class is that @kind eagle ?

[median locust]

It just says "You have been dismissed from the party and duty"

Nothing else

[kind eagle]

so basically upgraded to stronger

[faint flare]

Samurai @upper prism

[upper prism]

ooh

[kind eagle]

but then do dungeon nerf it back?

[faint flare]

Not stronger, Tsumbae skills are the same as Kaiten iajutsus

[kind eagle]

according to lv

[upper prism]

this is how i be looking

empty ish

[median locust]

Unless you get kicked from a cross-world party, then it just says "You leave X's party" without anymore details

[half kraken]

Is there any way I can farm yellow crafters scrips without actually having any decent crafting gear? I need gear to craft, but I don't wanna spend hundreds of thousands just on temporary gear

[faint flare]

Make low level stuff

[half kraken]

For gathering there's ocean fishing that gives a lot at any level, any equivalent for crafting?

[twilit arch]

make sure you're doing your custom deliveries

[faint flare]

And that ^

[twilit arch]

though they're weekly, they give a decent chunk of scrips

[half kraken]

Deliveries done for the week sadly

And the low level stuff gives me 5 scrips per

[twilit arch]

otherwise, just find a turn in for the day that you can make easily

[faint flare]

Then do low level collectibles

Until you get enough gear

[kind eagle]

tsubame increase potency

[faint flare]

Its the same potency as Kaiten iajutsus

[kind eagle]

can i use tsubame > kaiten > iajutsus

[faint flare]

No

[kind eagle]

oh

[faint flare]

You have to iajutsu first before tsumbae can be used

[kind eagle]

so just cast twice

[faint flare]

And you cant kaiten tsumbae as its a ability

So you kaiten > Midare/Tenka/ > Tsumbae

[kind eagle]

oh

[faint flare]

You never Tsumbae higanana

[kind eagle]

ok

and midare also upgraded to kaeshi

[faint flare]

There's a Tsumbae for all iajutsus

[faint flare]

Again Tsumbae isn't a upgrade. Its a seperate skill that has equal potency to kaitened iajutsus

[magic beacon]

Look in Contacts for dungeon people or just Player Search their name

[kind eagle]

ok

[faint flare]

It just lets you use iajutsus twice in a row every 60s

[magic beacon]

so player search ther name

[kind eagle]

so tsubame is a cool skill

[magic beacon]

it searches the whole server

[faint flare]

If they're online and not in a instance

[magic beacon]

if you want to blacklist someone from a dungeon, look them up in Contacts

[faint flare]

They show

[kind eagle]

but midare upgrade to kaeshi right

[magic beacon]

well then they're gone i guess

[faint flare]

There is a Tsumbae version of midare

So you can double midare every 60s

[kind eagle]

double setsugekka with tsubame?

[faint flare]

You midare > Tsumbae

For 2 of them

Tsumbae again isn't upgrade, it lets you use iajutsus twice in a row

[kind eagle]

so weak midare > midare > tsubame

[faint flare]

No

[wintry chasm]

No

[kind eagle]

oh god

[magic beacon]

you could /blist add [Firstname Lastname@ Server]

[twilit arch]

tsubame copies the last iajutsu you do

[wintry chasm]

Midare -> tsubame

[twilit arch]

so if you used midare, tsubame will let you use kaeshi:midare

[wintry chasm]

^

[simple shore]

It also, worth noting here, only works immediately after a Iajutsu

[wintry chasm]

Also kaiten doesn't work on tsubame

[kind eagle]

yeh tails said that

[magic beacon]

i love samurai but man i wish we could get the Dub version of skill names

[faint flare]

You will always go Kaiten > Midare > Tsumbae

In single target

[kind eagle]

what combo deals most dmg

[simple shore]

I mean....that doesnt really matter?

SAM shouldnt care about that

[kind eagle]

oh

kaiten senei

[simple shore]

because you have to do all three anyway

[kind eagle]

true

[simple shore]

the 3 hit combos are equal damage though

[limpid lantern]

What happens when a RDM or SAM dyncs down ?

[remote lintel]

wym

[faint flare]

Same as other jobs

[magic beacon]

then you have less skills

[faint flare]

They have skills under lv50

[simple shore]

Nothing? Their skills are set up as if they started from 1, even though they start at 50

[faint flare]

So they're not screwed

[magic beacon]

you can take it into PotD and test it out, thats how i learned how to play Samurai

[limpid lantern]

Alright ^^

[faint flare]

We may meme that SE is a small Indie dev but they're not that small

[remote lintel]

all jobs have skills from 1-80

[magic beacon]

its better than figuring out 30 skills at once, learn em one at a time

[wintry chasm]

kaiten senei
@kind eagle kaiten doesn't buff senei

[half kraken]

Ok so I tried making collectables for yellow crafter scrips and even if I make them their collectability is so low I can't even trade them in

It seems I have no option other than spending gil to buy a lot of gear

[magic beacon]

you can craft yoru own gear one step at a time

[zinc orbit]

[magic beacon]

or yeah just invest in yourself

[half kraken]

The ingredients cost a lot too, I'd need other DoH/DoL leveled to get them myself

[magic beacon]

yeah, omnicrafting is the way to go

[half kraken]

I spent 500k on Fisher gear while leveling it I won't make the same mistake

[simple shore]

This is why we suggest levelling everything together

because of the exact situation you're in

[half kraken]

Every single DoH?

[magic beacon]

yeah

[simple shore]

Yes

You can skip CUL if you want but

You may as well just do it too

[half kraken]

Wow that's gonna be a lot of work, guess I'll get to it

[magic beacon]

adn even then, food buffs are esential when youre just shy of requirements or low on Materia

[simple shore]

CUL is a pretty good source of money as well

[magic beacon]

every raider needs food and potions, all the time not just week 1

[simple shore]

Consumables are always a preferred item to be selling because, well, they're consumable. The market always needs more

[remote lintel]

could do what the guy on my server did and sell them in batches of 20, 30, 50, 100 to appeal to everyone

[icy cedar]

Consumables get botted to hell and back on nearly every server it's actually a pretty atrocious market to be in

Just about anything else would be better

[magic beacon]

consumables is a consistent income tho

[half kraken]

Ok you know my issue with leveling all at the same time

[nova umbra]

am I missing anything? I don't care about the leve allowances, ventures, hunts, and ehcatl delivery

[half kraken]

Where do I get the dang inventory space

[magic beacon]

versus big chunks at week 1

[remote lintel]

chocobo saddlebag, retainers

[half kraken]

Using retainers for it all the time sounds like hell

[simple shore]

Levelling everything at once saves inventory space

because they all share the same gear

[magic beacon]

i do fine with my 2 retainers

[half kraken]

That's just armory chest space

[nova umbra]

if you're gonna craft, you better get good at using the search command

[simple shore]

I mean.....maybe stop carrying around stuff you dont need to be carrying around?

[remote lintel]

craft only what you need

[half kraken]

Oof omnicrafting is daunting

Like, what level do I get one doh to before I start on the next?

[magic beacon]

its just tedious, its the same stuff just x8

[half kraken]

When do I come back to it?

[magic beacon]

get em all up 10 levels at a time

[simple shore]

from 1-50, move them up in increments of 5

[remote lintel]

when you need mats on one class then you'll craft them on another and level it up

[half kraken]

I'll likely get all to 50 ASAP just with leves

[nova umbra]

also, anyone know what time beast tribe and gc turn ins reset? I feel like they're not the same as the roulettes

[remote lintel]

beast tribe is daily iirc

[naive kraken]

i wouldnt use leves on crafting below 50

[half kraken]

It's how I got weaver from 35 to 50 in an hour

Didn't spend too much money, maybe 50k

[magic beacon]

its better than letting them hang out at 100 and miss recharges

[broken musk]

How much does the entry level sub cost in Canadian dollars?

[remote lintel]

do you have ishgard restoration unlocked @half kraken

[half kraken]

Yeah

[remote lintel]

oh ok

just making sure

[naive kraken]

the exponential experience on levels above 50 is a better return since leves are limited

[half kraken]

Never done it though

[remote lintel]

you should

can get crafters from 20-80 in several hours

[magic beacon]

yeah but spending like 10 leves isnt so bad

[simple shore]

But yeah, like....when i'm just running around if i havent desynth'd/extracted/etc i only have ~15 items in my inventory. So i feel like you're probably carrying around alot of unnecessary stuff.

[half kraken]

I guess

[magic beacon]

dont spend all 100 on Lv30 leves but a few here and there is more efficient than using none

[remote lintel]

@broken musk like 17 dollars assuming the price isn't different from US

[half kraken]

I have over a page on fishing bait lol

[simple shore]

Toss that stuff lol

[magic beacon]

woah lol

[simple shore]

Fishing bait does not need to be kept

[magic beacon]

you can get fishing lures that catch anythign 50 and under

[simple shore]

Keep like, ShB bait maybe

but fishing bait is so cheap that its not worth keeping around a supply of it

[nova umbra]

What time does the GC turn in reset?

This is so confusing, there's like 3 different reset timers going on

[magic beacon]

like 4pm EST

[naive kraken]

well yeah to get the leve replenishment working, but just enough to hit replenishment until you hit 50, you also arent running around to other places to turn in once you hit HW leves

[remote lintel]

!reset

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Daily Reset

0 Days, 21 Hours, 34 Minutes, 0 Seconds

Grand Company Reset

0 Days, 2 Hours, 34 Minutes, 0 Seconds

Weekly Reset

5 Days, 14 Hours, 34 Minutes, 0 Seconds

Fashion Report Turn In Avaliable

1 Days, 14 Hours, 34 Minutes, 0 Seconds

Jumbo Cactpo NA

3 Days, 8 Hours, 34 Minutes, 0 Seconds

Jumbo Cactpo EU

3 Days, 1 Hours, 34 Minutes, 0 Seconds

Jumbo Cactpo JP

2 Days, 18 Hours, 34 Minutes, 0 Seconds

[magic beacon]

3pm EST

[nova umbra]

so it's just the gc turn ins that are different from the daily reset stuff?

[simple shore]

and just to clarify - GC Reset = Rowena Collectable Reset also

[remote lintel]

i guess so

[magic beacon]

no wait, it is 4PM est

damn daylight savings

[turbid crystal]

no class truly begins coming into its own until it upgrades to a job at level 30, and they all continue to evolve until you reach max level @turbid crystal
@scarlet arrow Thanks, I'll keep chugging a long 🙂

[naive kraken]

3PM central

[scarlet arrow]

👍

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm trying to find info on a certain quest to see if I have to do it to unlock other stuff but googling hasn't found jack

so do I have to do the "Ruby Doomsday" quest to unlock anything besides the Extreme trial?

[remote lintel]

for ruby ex yes

oh besides

[simple shore]

Presumably it will be required to unlock the next trial in 5.3

[faint flare]

You'll need it to continue the weapon quest line next patch

[remote lintel]

yeah it's only the first quest in a questline

[delicate stone]

man, thaumaturge kinda sucks before blm

[remote lintel]

thats like all classes tho

[delicate stone]

im doing about the same dmg as a cnj

[nova umbra]

what should I be using my leves on if capped?

It's been capped for like the past few months lol..

[delicate stone]

huh, this is my first time leveling a new class, so i guess that's why im surprised lol

[nova umbra]

are there any time gated achievements or anything with leves?

[remote lintel]

yes

not time gated

[magic beacon]

time gated? like, the event acheivements are but nothing beyond limited events

theres acheivements for making a gil from just leves, and a title Honest Gillionare

[limpid lantern]

How do these bots survive the ban waves btw ? They probably keep making accounts right

[turbid crystal]

if I buy the PC complete edition, should I buy it as guest to to apply it to my Free Trial now? or no need?

[magic beacon]

they just keep making more

[limpid lantern]

But what about the license wich costs money

[magic beacon]

they turn way more profit selling gil than it costs to make accounts

[remote lintel]

the free trial is getting expanded so theres not much point applying it now

[nova umbra]

you underestimate the amount of money they make selling gil :x

[remote lintel]

im pretty sure you can shout as a trial account

[limpid lantern]

Really !?

People buy that ?

[nova umbra]

mhm

[magic beacon]

yeah, people buy gil all the time

[turbid crystal]

@remote lintel yes, but should i buy the complete edition as Guest?

[nova umbra]

though it doesn't seem to be a problem in japan for some reason?

cultural difference?

[limpid lantern]

Is that even allowed ?

[magic beacon]

no, its not

[nova umbra]

of course not lmao

[turbid crystal]

i want to buy it because it's 50% on sale now

[remote lintel]

what do you mean as guest

[turbid crystal]

but don't want to apply it yet

[limpid lantern]

Hes talking about the ps4 versiom

[plain flower]

You cna buy it now and not apply the code

[turbid crystal]

when you add to cart

[remote lintel]

ohh

[plain flower]

If it's PC

[magic beacon]

but they cant prove thats what youre doign when you sell a copper ore for 999,999,999 gil

[limpid lantern]

The ps4 version is on sale

[turbid crystal]

it ask to log in or buy as guest

PC

[limpid lantern]

Oh

[remote lintel]

that doesnt matter

[plain flower]

Yeah you can just buy it and not apply the code now

[limpid lantern]

I didnt say anything

[turbid crystal]

ah, thanks

[remote lintel]

i'm pretty sure its just the SE store account

[dire cipher]

@nova umbra nice Chito avi

[nova umbra]

❤️

not sure why so many people buy gil tbh, the game throws so much gil at you

[remote lintel]

they want millions

[nova umbra]

unless they're doing it to buy housing or craft?

[obtuse sierra]

can free trial accounts participate in the event and get the rewards?

[remote lintel]

pretty sure

[dire cipher]

It's not hard to make Gil from gathering either

[median locust]

Events tend to be level 15 so yes

[magic beacon]

or just want money because it makes their epeen bigger

[remote lintel]

the upcoming event is lvl 30

[limpid lantern]

Is there movement speed difference between sheath and unsheathe .

[median locust]

Free trial will be up to 60 by then so you'll be fine

[remote lintel]

no woop

[median locust]

There isn't

[limpid lantern]

Ty

[nova umbra]

what do you guys usually make your squadron get every week?

from the 50/60 mission thing

[limpid lantern]

How do i zoom out on ps4 ?

[magic beacon]

L1+ R3 stick lean back

[leaden ginkgo]

Heya! How do I change my chat channel order? It seems like I can only drag the channels out?

[remote lintel]

should be left bumper + down on the right stick

i don't think you can doctor

[magic beacon]

you can rename them and adjust their filters but you cant swap them around

[leaden ginkgo]

Awh, that's a shame D:

Ah well, thanks y'all

When do they normally reduce the amount of drops you need from normal raids for tome weapons from 7 to 4?

[magic beacon]

like 15 weeks later, at the X.x5 patch

[limpid lantern]

Thanks !!!!

[leaden ginkgo]

noted, ty solar

If so I might just save my blades for 5.31

[twilit arch]

no, eden's gate was reduced in 5.1

so it will most likely be reduced with the 5.3 patch itself

not a minor patch

[leaden ginkgo]

oh! Even better lmao

I've really been slacking on my e8n drops

[twilit arch]

just keep in mind that you've still got the 1k allegory

[left moth]

it's usually done around the x.15, x.35, and x.55 when the current tier will become irrevelent

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh for sure

[scarlet arrow]

there's also the ShB relic. 5 ilvls lower but presumably will be upgraded in 5.3

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah but we'll also be able to augment the 490 weps next patch

[twilit arch]

not immediately

[leaden ginkgo]

iirc

[twilit arch]

the augment item for weapon generally is added to the tokens later

[leaden ginkgo]

I thought they come with the coins from the raids?

[twilit arch]

for armour and accessories, yes

[leaden ginkgo]

OH

[magic beacon]

yeah the weapon augment comes later

[leaden ginkgo]

wait yeah my b

I'm dumb

[magic beacon]

the armor augment comes with coins

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks for clearing that up people

[remote lintel]

so we can augment crystarium next patch?

[kind eagle]

last map of stormblood

confusing omg

[remote lintel]

crystarium armor

[twilit arch]

without savage, yes

[magic beacon]

yeah with Puppet Bunker coins

[remote lintel]

bless

[twilit arch]

it'll likely be 1 copied factory coin + 1 puppet bunker coin

[magic beacon]

^

[remote lintel]

wow thats cheap

[magic beacon]

so start running CF and stack some coins

[nova umbra]

after I finish my level 70 scholar job quest, I can remove it from my gear sets and hotbar and everything right? (I really hate the class). There's no more achievements or anything right?

[remote lintel]

there's the title at 80

[nova umbra]

yeah it's level 80 because I leveled summoner, and I already did the 70-80 job quest for healer

so after that there's nothing?

[magic beacon]

theres the Lv 80 job quest

[simple shore]

There's one more quest

[remote lintel]

yeah

the lvl 80 quest gives you the title

for shcolar

[nova umbra]

oh right, every class has something like that right

[scarlet arrow]

yes

[magic beacon]

yeah everyone has a 80 job quest

after 71-80 role quests

[simple shore]

DRK quest best quest

[nova umbra]

and it appears as a regular quest, not a blue one right?

[remote lintel]

correct

[nova umbra]

which class has the worst story o.o;

or most boring, should I say

[agile laurel]

personally I'd say white mage but

paladins is also fairly agreeably dire

[slate arrow]

PLD's only sucks when you get to stormblood

WAR is also pretty bad in stormblood

WHM is... Somewhat interesting, at least lorewise

[twilit arch]

pld 50-60 is trash

60-70 is alright cos it goes back to gladiator roots

[slate arrow]

The tournament arc got boring personally but ymmv

@white sinew the two minute timer is in effect for all PvP instances

[magic beacon]

its a lot shorter than PvE because of botters

when they made frontlines give major exp botters flooded it like crazy

for like 2-3 weeks it was really bad, you could have like maybe 10 real people in a 72 person instance

[gritty oracle]

In Titania ex, if I get chain and jump off the platform, does my partner stop taking damage? I always end up in a wrong place during tether during adds.

[turbid crystal]

what benefits do gather/crafting jobs help in end-game? what do they help create and are they required for end-game content?

[gritty oracle]

monies

and make your own gear/food/potions

[magic beacon]

theyre not required, but making a crafted gear set for combat jobs is something hardcore raiders want badly on day 1

you get iLv requirements, pentamelded gear that will last the whole raid tier until you get your raid and tome gear

and if youre not raiding yourself, they'll buy it from you at a premium

[median locust]

@gritty oracle Yes I believe

[magic beacon]

like 1.3 million for a belt

[turbid crystal]

i'm doing my free trial as a THM and plan to switch to Samurai and buy the rest of the game, which gather/crafting job should I focus on first?

[fresh lodge]

None, Crafting and Gathering is purely optional

Just pick the one that interests you

[magic beacon]

samurai wants blacksmith for weapons, goldsmith for accessories, armorsmith, leatherworker, and weaver for armor

[simple shore]

You shouldnt "focus" on one first

You should level them all

Focusing on one first is expensive and painful

[magic beacon]

yeah if youre gonna craft just level them all at the same time

[turbid crystal]

ah, i see

thanks

[simple shore]

TL;DR - excluding Culinarian, every crafter needs materials from other crafters

if you try to level one up just by itself its going to involve buying massive amounts of shit from the MB

[magic beacon]

yeah like if you want to make a spear, you gotta have Carpenter and Blacksmith together

[slate arrow]

(Actually, CUL does need a few materials from ALC but that's only for the Crystarium turn ins)

[gritty oracle]

thanks @median locust

[crude marten]

what do i do with pink/green rarity items that i have outgrown out of?

[turbid crystal]

are the crafting jobs max level at 80 too?

[twilit arch]

if you're sergeant second class with your grand company you can turn them in for grand company seals

yes, max lvl for crafting and gathering is lvl 80 as well

[turbid crystal]

man, maxing all those jobs must take a lot of time

[gloomy ice]

Not necessarily. Once you have a good rhythm, you can do it in a few hours.

[little swift]

They massively buffed exp gains for crafters and gatherers it takes a lot less time now

[crude marten]

@twilit arch grand company ranking first huh...thanks mate

[remote lintel]

@turbid crystal there's a place at lvl 60 thats basically dedicated to powerleveling crafters

can do 20-80 in several hours

[modest lichen]

I have a friend whose trying to get into 14 via PS4 for the first time and they downloaded the launcher, made a new account, and confirmed it--however they're getting this message when they type their information into the launcher to Play free-trial. We can't figure out why. What's going on?

[left moth]

has their psn name been added to the service account?

[turbid crystal]

for all of them? so it's advisable to at least get those crafting jobs to 20 before then

[modest lichen]

That I'm not sure.

But will that affect it, if they didn't?

[little swift]

for all of them? so it's advisable to at least get those crafting jobs to 20 before then
@turbid crystal its quick to get them to 20 just make things in your crafting log for the first time completion bonus and do the class quests. There are lots of ways to level your dol/doh

Make sure your friend has a mogstation account registered

Not entirely sure ps4 store separates by trial and full version launchers so also confirm he/she has the trial launcher if there is a distinction

[remote lintel]

make sure they have a MOGSTATION account and not an SE STORE account

[limpid lantern]

Are there useful things to get from beast tribes ?

[modest lichen]

I'll see real quick.

[median locust]

Depends what you consider useful

[half kraken]

What exactly is the trigger to stun the colossus in time for castrum meridianum, I heard 64% but it seems to be more based on when the purple tethers show up than health

[median locust]

They give mounts, minions, furniture, easier access to crafting mats, relic mats, some dyes

[limpid lantern]

Special weapons, armour, glamour hogh value items, mounts

[agile laurel]

@half kraken I've always done 82% and then when the first runs out

[left moth]

woop: moogle slippers are clearly the best tribe item available next to the vanu vanu outfit, and great serment minions

[limpid lantern]

What are relic mats ?

[agile laurel]

if the DPS aren't phoning in, that is usually quick enough

[median locust]

I levelled my first crafter solely for the moogle slippers

[remote lintel]

for doing the relic quest chain

you need some mats to advance

[median locust]

Anima Relic needs Unidentified Bone/Ore/etc

[limpid lantern]

@left moth haha those are so nice xD

[median locust]

Beast tribes are one way to get them

[left moth]

(arr and hw tribes offer items for hw anima early step)

[limpid lantern]

Let me clarify, what is the relic.

[remote lintel]

the great serpent minion isn't a beast tribe reward

it's just a quest reward

[median locust]

Relics are level cap weapons that are extremely grindy to get, but the best weapon for their level

Like the level 50 relic is the best level 50 weapon once completed, but it takes ages to make

So it's only worth it if you like how it looks

[half kraken]

@agile laurel does 82 work every time?

[remote lintel]

arent the poetics weapons better than the relic

[median locust]

No, 5iLv lower

[half kraken]

I usually do around 65 and it works

[remote lintel]

ah ok

[median locust]

!iglam ragnarok zeta

[zinc orbit]

**Ragnarok Zeta** **:** Marauder's Arm

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[limpid lantern]

Are there lvl 60/70/80 relic weapons

[median locust]

Example of a completed relic

[proven bay]

The FATE grinding is undoubtably the shittiest part of ARR relic grinding

[median locust]

Yes

[twilit arch]

yes

[agile laurel]

the entire concept is a bit touch and go really

[little swift]

No relics always end 5 ilvl above cap like raid weapons

[limpid lantern]

Holy crap that looks nice

[remote lintel]

also

[remote lintel]

but i digress

theyre extremely grindy and i don't recommend doing them until you're like lvl 80

[median locust]

Note: Level 50 will only have relics for jobs that were available back when 50 was the cap. Same for 60 and 70

[remote lintel]

^

[median locust]

So level 50 won't have weapons for dark knight, machinist, samurai, etc

[limpid lantern]

Thats alright though

[median locust]

So Gunbreaker and Dancer don't have relics just yet, other than the one not glowy step we have at 80

[remote lintel]

but back to your original question you can rank up beast tribes to make the grind less grindy

since the beast tribes sell mats you need

assuming you want to do the relic weapons

[median locust]

Some beast tribes are also really good for levelling

especially crafting ones

[little swift]

Theyre great for extra exp

Both stormblood tribes together for a 60-70 job is about 1.5 to 1.9mil exp every day

[remote lintel]

also you can get this mount

so clearly they're worth it

[median locust]

but this one tho

[limpid lantern]

They both look really nice

Theres so much stuff to get into

And im not even done with the original msq yet

I think i have 4 tribes unlocked now

How many are there ?

[little swift]

5 arr 3hw 3sb 2 almost 3 shb

[remote lintel]

13

[limpid lantern]

Awesome ^^

[leaden ginkgo]

it'll be 14 in like 2 weeks right

[limpid lantern]

I got fishdudes, goblins, fairy and amal'jaa for arr

[median locust]

They have one mount each, except the Ananta which have 2

so tons to collect

[limpid lantern]

Wich one am i missing

[little swift]

Ixal

[remote lintel]

the bug people

wait

yeah ixal

[limpid lantern]

Oh no, i have those too then i have them all

Thats with the broken war balloon right

[little swift]

Yes

[remote lintel]

yeah

[left moth]

ixal, moogles, namazu are crafting tribes, namazu and whatever is in greatwoods are gathering tribes

[remote lintel]

i thought namazu are crafting?

[strange coral]

Namazu are both crafting and gathering

[little swift]

Qitari

Namazu do both

[left moth]

ixial is umm, unique in have to wear a crafting arm piece that's a big debuff if aren't marginally overleveled

[little swift]

At least for crafters you could craft it on one job and submit it on a lower level job for rewards

[left moth]

(i would think it's a lot easier now since little skill use rng anymore and no cross class skills)

[limpid lantern]

Yesh i read about cross class skills

Thst is not a thing anymore ?

[little swift]

Not a thing anymore

They homogenized crafter kits

They all havr the same skills

[limpid lantern]

Alright ^^

[raven bobcat]

It says to gather skybuilders fine sand in thanalan but all I get is fine sand, what do?

[twilit arch]

ignore it

phase 1 materials are no longer in game

focus on the grade 2 stuff

[little swift]

Phase 2 materials are in diadem

[left moth]

all ishgard restoration materials are in the diadem

[median locust]

Skybuilder mats do not exist in the overworld anymore

[raven bobcat]

oh :c

I have been bambozzled

[median locust]

have to make phase 2 crafts instead

[left moth]

might be able to make something for xp but old mats are probably ripoff market board wise for what it's worth

[raven bobcat]

ye they expensive af

[left moth]

the recipies for phase 2 turn ins are basically the same requirements wise just different things

[raven bobcat]

into the diadem we go, after 2k hours lmao

thanks yall's

[left moth]

np (have fun shooting the wildlife)

(pre-restoration diadem, the wildlife shoot you)

[opal bough]

where's the tomestones shop for shb

[faint flare]

Eulmore

[tidal yarrow]

ogcds have their own cooldowns? like I noticed that if I use meikyo I cant use kaiten instantly

[remote lintel]

yes

[little swift]

!faq weaving

[zinc orbit]

Quick guide to weaving/clipping

Click the image, then 'Open original'

[remote lintel]

the point of ogcds is that they dont share the global cooldown

[little swift]

every skill has a minimum 0.7 second delay after cast where you cannot do anything

or else people would be able to jam 343543 ogcds in between their gcds

you can at most double weave without clipping

[median locust]

GCD 1
Mash keyboard to pop every oGCD in one go
GCD 2

imagine

[little swift]

so it is possible to kaiten after meikyo before your next gcd

but you have to cast meikyo when your gcd recast goes to 1/3 around

[tidal yarrow]

mm I need a suggestion on my rotation then

[little swift]

and kaiten at 2/3

[tidal yarrow]

how's the 50 kenki 1100dmg attack called

[remote lintel]

midare

?

oh wait

[tidal yarrow]

no, the ogcd

[remote lintel]

hissatsu senei

[limpid lantern]

Limit break is a static amount but what about stuff like trick attack ?

That makes the monster take more dmg, does thst work ?

[faint flare]

No

Buffs dont affect LB

Or debuffs

Only environmental debuffs, like immunity or ravana blood stance affect it

[tidal yarrow]

I usually do my kasha combo to start with and ikishoten , then I start with hakaze into jinpu. in this moment that I also gained dmg buff do I have the time for hissatsu sensei kaiten into higanbana?

[faint flare]

Yes

You can fit 2 ogcds inbetween a gcd unless your ping is bad

[tidal yarrow]

my ping is very bad, but I have to try with a dummy

also, does the rotation sound good

[faint flare]

https://i.imgur.com/eHRXiZW.png

Visual guide for 80, remove stuff you Dont have

[oak ice]

Double weaving with Shifu buff up is something that just doesn't work for me, so I weave Senei after after Higanbana

[little swift]

so you want to kasha combo fully, then get your jinpu buff before you higanbana

[tidal yarrow]

I'm doing one roulette rn and I'll be 80^^

[little swift]

and then you'll have 1 sen into meikyo

its fine to single weave if your ping cannot reliable allow you to execute it

[limpid lantern]

Is there such a cheat sheet for every character?

[faint flare]

Not really

[faint flare]

Cause balance people make them and not everyone makes visual stuff

Or people who use info from balance

[limpid lantern]

Hmm wouldve been nice to have such a visual cheat sheet for every class xD

[magic beacon]

there is one

check the Balance discord

[open coral]

And some of the sheets that do exist are, by their very nature, incredibly complex

The one for SMN, for example

[magic beacon]

lol summoner

[faint flare]

[little swift]

there are a bunch of opener infographics though

[limpid lantern]

I checked the vlance things and holy crap thats a lot of info xD

I probably cant use half of it but its nice to know where its at

[remote lintel]

it's mainly for max lvl

and optimizing jobs

[little swift]

they do have job specific channels where you can ask questions as well

[limpid lantern]

Yes i saw ^^ before i commit i want to try all though

I want to have at least 1 in each role and the ones im going for first are dark knight for tank once i get to heavenward

Probably WHM for healer and for dps i want to tey RDM/Machinist/SAM

And NIN for fallback prob

When do you have a feel for the class ? Like 70?

[open coral]

80

Jk, most classes you can get a good handle on by about level 60

[quiet magnet]

im having trouble finding digging in the dark

[limpid lantern]

Alright ^^

[little swift]

what are you not liking about it

[gusty belfry]

so I'm searching for the hismena npc in idyllshire

but can't seem to find her

[little swift]

shes in the center building

[twilit arch]

she's at Idyllshire (6, 5), in the big building in the center

[little swift]

middle npc in a row of three

[gusty belfry]

oh thanks a bunch

[rapid kettle]

Excuse me everyone, I'm currently playing the trial and I'm very very undecided. I feel sad for not having enough FFXI mechanics (I'm of those weird FFXI-release people). No enfeebling whatsover. Enhancing spells seem to be more like a few very short lived basic buffs. Equipment seems to play no role whatsoever. Just get the BIS for your level and that's it. No usual monster poses a threat at all. Not even dungeons. NMs are now hunts(?) and are just straight out Lv50 instead of a challenge to the current zone. All in all XIV seems (to me) to appeal to the contemporary MMO approach of brain-dead play. Graphics are fine. GShade is incredible. ARR story is not bad at all IMHO, as I would have expected from some reviews/videos/rants. I would like to see more, get a linkshell (free company?), get lvls up and try advanced jobs, play the game some, cause the 30 bucks sell for all expansions and one month play time is a steal for this game I think. But well here we are about to hit the trial push to Lv60 in about two weeks(?). Once I upgrade the game to full with a purchased key and the play time ends, I will inevitably have to buy more play time, do I? I will not be able to play base jobs below lvl60 right? Like a de-grade back to trial let's say.

[vocal shell]

@rapid kettle yes, once you buy a copy of the game

that account can only play if they have an active sub

[little swift]

you cannot return to the trial once you upgrade

[median locust]

Yep, if you buy the game, you're not "trying" the game out anymore so you can't go back to the free trial.

[little swift]

i think a couple things are in order here: you want to play with so people

you want to see more of a job

and you want that overworld challenge that xi had

at 70 there is eureka which sort of brings back that old grind style of gameplay

[remote lintel]

the challenge in xiv comes from hard boss fights

[little swift]

and has NMs

[remote lintel]

savage mode bosses and ultimates are extremely hard

[sturdy canyon]

@rapid kettle if you’re on PC, you can also buy the game now for the discount, wait until August 11th for the free trial to be expanded, and then add your code when you’re ready to progress beyond lvl 60. Your account isn’t upgraded until you add your code, so you can just buy it now and sit in the code as long as you want

[remote lintel]

EX is pretty challenging too

assuming theyre on pc shybat

[sturdy canyon]

True

[halcyon grail]

Spirit bond is mainly a measure for materia creation, yes?

[remote lintel]

yes

[halcyon grail]

I’m probably nowhere near the point to worry about materia, so should I just make a bunch of materia for when I am?

[remote lintel]

what lvl are you?

[twilit arch]

if you're max spiritbond with the item, there's no harm in extract

but its not something you need to worry about

especially if its not lvl 80 gear as lower level gear gives lower level materia

[halcyon grail]

25 rn

[twilit arch]

which isn't as useful

[proven bay]

The materia you're gonna get is likely not going to be used for long

If even

[remote lintel]

at max lvl you'll be using lvl 7 and 8 materias which you can't get at your lvl

so i wouldnt worry about it

[proven bay]

^

[halcyon grail]

Worry about it at endgame then?

[remote lintel]

yeah

but if you want to extract oyu can

[proven bay]

Plus materia isn't important to play through the game. It's only necessary for end-game content

[halcyon grail]

I’ll wait

[rapid kettle]

Erf, got power outage... @sturdy canyon ty for clarifying that point. That's something I didn't mention I was unsure about. That's actually pretty good to hear I can add the key at whatever time I want.

[agile laurel]

What defines spiritbond progress? Is it just killcount?

[proven bay]

Some materia is useful to have for crafting quests or relic weapons @halcyon grail But other than that they're kind of pointless below level 80

[median locust]

Completing duties and killing stuff your item level or higher, I think

[agile laurel]

Ah. Gotcha

[median locust]

Gathering/crafting stuff your iLv or higher for DoH/L

[unreal aspen]

question about tbn + defensive cooldowns

[rapid kettle]

It's not really the grind I need (There's plenty of those around...) of FFXI. Eleven had so many possibilities to make your character incredibly unique with equipment and everybody could have the same job but still a different play style. I very much miss that. But 14 is a nice game in it's own right. I think I should just not try to compare.

[unreal aspen]

if i popped tbn and rampart at the same time, would the damage reduction from rampart affect the shield?

or is it tbn shields for the normal amount, and then the extra damage is mitigated by whatever defensive cd i used

[median locust]

TBN is basically more HP slapped on top of your HP bar

[remote lintel]

@rapid kettle i'd say get farther into the game as you've only seen a sliver of it so far

the gameplay gets better as you go on

[median locust]

It mitigates the damage the shield takes too

[remote lintel]

as does the story

[unreal aspen]

aaaa

ok ty

[rapid kettle]

Yeah that's what everybody says Cerberus 🙂 Although I find it funny that you almost only read rants about jobs. Like in general. And about EVERY job,...lol

[median locust]

Odd because jobs are all in a very good place right now, save a few outliers

[remote lintel]

cries in bard

[median locust]

Ranged physical DPS are a tad underpowered, and most people think Monk isn't fun to play

[agile laurel]

anyone acutely aware of every aspect of their specialty can find something to bitch about

such is life lmao

[rapid kettle]

I have to talk to more people who actually like their job I guess XD

[median locust]

yep, you can nitpick about anything

[rapid kettle]

totally true Emu

[remote lintel]

all jobs are fun in their own way

[agile laurel]

mhm

[rapid kettle]

That's more the spirit

[agile laurel]

'cept monk

[rapid kettle]

lul

[remote lintel]

i thought for sure i was gonna main dark knight at first and now i have like 11 max lvl jobs

[median locust]

black mage has no flaws though, perfect job for absolute chads

[remote lintel]

^

yes

[agile laurel]

What's the baseline for GCDs under wildfire? I can do 5 and I feel like i'm a crumb of sks away from getting 6

[little swift]

6 is doable at no sks

[agile laurel]

huh. maybe my weaving's ass then. gotcha

[remote lintel]

is it your ping?

[agile laurel]

actually let me check again...

[little swift]

time your wildfire's better, and also your ping is likely affecting it

[magic beacon]

so if I click "minimum iLv" for a duty, does it synch down and add my materia or is materia still uncounted

[limpid lantern]

@remote lintel whats your fave out of your max jobs then and why ?

[agile laurel]

Ah yeah no I can see 6

[little swift]

melds are not counted when syncing down

[agile laurel]

it's cause I flinch a 5th heat blast due to its timeout

[magic beacon]

even with minimum ilv? okay ty

black mage has no flaws though, perfect job for absolute chads
@median locust

i have nothing to add, that statement is so perfect is bears repeating

[remote lintel]

@limpid lantern i have a bunch of favorites, but one of my MOST faves is probably astrologian because it's flashy and not too braindead

and every encounter is different because healer

and i also like buffing people

[limpid lantern]

@remote lintel would you care to enlighten about your favs for someone who has been playing for a few days now and is very confused about wanting what to play and stufd xD

[remote lintel]

i tend to like jobs that are busier/take some thinking to play

[magic beacon]

its really kind of up to your personal taste

[remote lintel]

bard is really fun because there's several things to track and i can spam moves

[median locust]

yeah some would rather play easier jobs to focus on learning the fights instead

[remote lintel]

black mage is also fun because you have to adjust to fights

[median locust]

Like white mage, warrior, dancer, red mage

[open coral]

I like WHM, DNC, RDM, and PLD

[remote lintel]

yeah red mage tends to be a fave among people

[limpid lantern]

Yeah i like ninjanfor its versatility wirh the seals

[remote lintel]

it's easy to play and very flashy

[open coral]

NIN was fun to level, but gets annoying to play

[limpid lantern]

But i like red mage for flavour, mixing melee and magic

[median locust]

Black Mage is a weird one where it's a turret caster that benefits from moving as little as possible. But can still move around a good bit if you use its resources well. Having good game knowledge is a huge plus on this job, because knowing the safe spots by heart is mandatory if you wanna be good at it

[remote lintel]

^

that's why i like it

[rapid kettle]

I repeatedly read that tank would be so simple and one of the most no-brainers. I actually find it to be quite the opposite if you really want to manage a fight well?

[remote lintel]

it's easy to learn but hard to master

[limpid lantern]

Alright ill put that a bit on the later classes to do then

[remote lintel]

@rapid kettle it's easy at low level but takes some more responsibilities for things like savage fights

[median locust]

Tanks have more responsability but are still some of the easiest jobs to play

[elder veldt]

Is there a gallery somewhere of all the relic weapons ad their upgrades?

[little swift]

tanks have a lesser involved rotation, which is why people consider them easier

a lot of it is just reacting correctly to mechanics

[median locust]

ARR https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/694k83/labelled_pictures_of_all_arr_relic_stages_from/
HW https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/699c1f/hw_anima_stages_inspired_by_another_post/

don't know any for Eureka

[rapid kettle]

Well if you refer to "rotation" to the dmg comobos, of course. But that's exactly what a tank is not about don't you think? lol

[little swift]

there are probably videos showcasing all the relics on youtube

[remote lintel]

what do you mean that's not what tanks are about?

[agile laurel]

jobs that are simple to play are often weirder to optimise

[little swift]

well, tell that to gunbreaker

[agile laurel]

such as tanks red mage and monk

[little swift]

tanks are quite responsible for dps

[rapid kettle]

I mean, it's about managing the fight. Take care of positioning as good as can be, take as little dmg as possible etc.

[median locust]

All jobs are DPS in this game. Tanks are DPS with mitigation and aggro abilities. Healers are DPS with healing abilities. All jobs try to push for as much damage as they can.

[remote lintel]

yeah but you still want to do as much dmg as possible

esp at higher level

[rapid kettle]

Yeah sure, no doubt about that anyways 😉

[remote lintel]

think of all jobs as dps but some heal and some can take more dmg

[rapid kettle]

Well THAT idea I don't like as much lol

That's where I miss FFXI >_>"

[median locust]

That's how this game is played, you push for damage

[rapid kettle]

I see

[remote lintel]

the point is that at endgame content you want to optimize as much damage as possible

[median locust]

If you only heal and don't throw out DPS spells, people will call you out

[remote lintel]

even healers spam damage until they NEED to heal

[median locust]

Maybe not in the first 50 levels though

But yeah

[limpid lantern]

I read it was important even to dps because of enrage points ?

Is that still true ?

[remote lintel]

for endgame yes woop

[median locust]

Enrages are only really important for endgame yeah

[plush hound]

Basically healers aren't healing all the time and tanks get more threat by doing more damage, so everyone has to contribute.

[little swift]

enrages really only matter in savage+

[median locust]

But if stuff dies faster, the dungeon ends faster and you get to do more stuff

[little swift]

there are some normal fights that have enrages

[median locust]

Win for everyone

[little swift]

but everyone has to literally be asleep for it to happen

[remote lintel]

theres normal fights with enrage?

[little swift]

yup

[remote lintel]

where tho

[little swift]

halicarnassus is one

[remote lintel]

really??

[median locust]

Dun Scaith first boss, the arena can be filled with all black squares

[little swift]

like i said, you have to LITERALLY be asleep

[median locust]

Then when the boss casts doom, everyone dies

[remote lintel]

i had no idea lol

[little swift]

dun scaith is another

[rapid kettle]

(I see people trying to fall asleep in front of screen)

[open coral]

Final Steps of Faith has one

[median locust]

Some MSQ duties have one as well

Namely A Requiem for Heroes

people complained about that one all week when it came out

[remote lintel]

https://giphy.com/gifs/whoa-hd-tim-and-eric-xT0xeJpnrWC4XWblEk

[open coral]

Which one was Requiem?

[warped seal]

3.4-ish

[median locust]

The one with the 3 swords

To be as undescriptive as possible

[open coral]

Ohh, yeah

That was rough

Took me a couple of tries to figure out the best strategy to do it

[junior osprey]

hey guys. if i take 3 namazu beast tribe quest today and complete it on next day will i still get 3 new quest?

[median locust]

Yes, as long as you pick them up today

[junior osprey]

ok ty, i have a crafter at 59 rn lol

[median locust]

But you won't be able to pick up the next 3 quests before you complete the ones you already have

Which tank comes to mind when you think of a TOTAL CHAD.

And why

[median locust]

Warrior probably

[open coral]

Definitely WAR

[median locust]

They can heal themselves through the sheer power of their rage

They don't even need a healer in some situations lol

Plus their burst phase has them spamming a high potency move that makes a chainsaw noise

And they have gigantic axes as weapons

!iglam tremor axe

[river oak]

That makes Paladin seem like a baby class lol

[turbid crystal]

where do i get Dark Matter to repair my equipments?

[remote lintel]

dark knight because everyone wants to play dark knight

[median locust]

Tons of vendors have them, usually Junkmongers

[remote lintel]

and edgy anime characters always get the ladies

[warped seal]

pretty much every city has a junkmonger that sells it

[turbid crystal]

thanks

[warped seal]

you also need to have appropriately leveled crafting jobs

usually you need to have a given crafter within 10 levels of an item to repair it

And items do have specific crafter requirements

[river oak]

Dark Knight, that’s a little 2edge4me

[hallow bloom]

getting enlistment stuff at the barracks

[remote lintel]

never too much edge

[hallow bloom]

do i just do challenges and people turn up randomly or do i need to complete an entire challenge category for someone to turn up?

[warped seal]

the first one

[crimson wind]

How much Crystal Sand and Umbrite do i need in total for my Anima Weapon?

[plush hound]

60-75

[little swift]

60-80 umbrite

its all rng

[remote lintel]

60-80 crystal sand

[crimson wind]

How much is one Umbrite

[median locust]

75 poetics

[crimson wind]

And i need 80?

Yikes

[median locust]

Yes

[crimson wind]

How much Sand

[median locust]

And the same amount of Crystal Sand

[remote lintel]

not necessarily 80 umbrite

[crimson wind]

Best way to get sand? I know theres a weekly for Umbrite and I can get them for Poetics

[median locust]

There isn't a weekly for umbrite

[little swift]

theres no weekyl for umbrite

tahts singing clusters

[crimson wind]

Oh

[oak ice]

Don't rely on the bonus overmuch, aim for 80

[little swift]

best way to get sand by far is yellow scrips

[median locust]

You still need 50 singing clusters though so do them lol

[plush hound]

Do ocean fishing and use the scrips for tokens to get them.

[remote lintel]

or go to ishgard and take a temple leve

[little swift]

nah use regularly leves for vilekin farm

[remote lintel]

the regular leves are called temple leves?

[little swift]

dance, magic dance is a popular one

[median locust]

Yeah farm yellow scrips any way you can, then use those to buy Blue Scrip tokens, it's 5 tokens for 2 sand

[little swift]

temple leves use 10 allowances per attempt

[crimson wind]

which leves do i want

[median locust]

Weekly delivery clients as REALLY good for this

[remote lintel]

the one that costs 1 leve

[little swift]

dance magic dance is a popular one

you go to the spot

initiate the leve

then look for a chest

[remote lintel]

you only need 1 leve because you'll be starting and stopping it over and over

[little swift]

if you don't see it

abandon and retry

thats all

[crimson wind]

Ok and each Crystal Sand exchange gives me 2 crystal sand?

[median locust]

Yes

[plush hound]

No, just the scrip turn in

[little swift]

yup and the combination yields between 3-5

[crimson wind]

I don't have crafters my guy

[median locust]

Gatherers work too

[remote lintel]

they all give 2 lordlunar

[plush hound]

I stand corrected

[crimson wind]

and thus I delve into the mindless grind...

Do i have to complete the leve to keep the thing

[remote lintel]

no

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3p7IoN1xBs

this explains it

[crimson wind]

ty

[half kraken]

Which fish is more efficient to farm, rak'tika goby at 99 yellow scrips per, or eryops at 264 per

[turbid crystal]

is there a way to batch craft a certain item?

[half kraken]

Quick synthesis

[median locust]

^ This is kinda it

It crafts faster but doesn't guarantee HQ

[little swift]

but you also have to have crafted it manually the first time

and there are stat reqs to quick synth

[open coral]

Only after you’ve crafted it once manually, and you can’t do special recipes by quick synth

[median locust]

yup, can't quick synth collectables

[turbid crystal]

so when i level up my crafts, i literally have to click on Synthesize, then click on the icon to make the item, to make 1, then rinse and repeat?

[open coral]

Only the first time for non-quest, non-collectibles

[little swift]

thats really only good the first 15 or so levels

after that leves/collectables/ishgard restoration are better

[open coral]

Ixal beast tribe is also good

[little swift]

beast tribes as well yes

[half kraken]

So for spearfishing, when some fish require you to catch 10 of another fish first, how long does that effect last? Can I catch 9 of one fish, log out, catch one the next day and the new fish gets unlocked?

Or can I change areas in between?

[little swift]

i could be wrong but i'm pretty sure it requires 10 in one sitting

[crimson wind]

Got a Vilekin on my first leve pog

[half kraken]

Man that's terrible

[little swift]

keep in mind i could be wrong*

[crimson wind]

Is it only the Dravanian Hinterlands Leves?

Oh neat I can just keep retrying the same one at the spot

That's so convenient

[median locust]

All the Heavensward leves I think? But the one they mentionned is the one where it's the easiest to find the chest

[crimson crystal]

How do you get the wind up Dulia-chai and chai nuzz?

[crimson wind]

Is the treasure chest always in the same spot?

[remote lintel]

wind up dulia chai is from preordering the shb artbook

no wol

[crimson wind]

Is there a map of the spots?

[twilit arch]

https://www.dopr.net/ff14playguide/treasurehunt5-2 for the 8 map shb maps

[median locust]

They mean for amber vilekin chests

in HW leves

[remote lintel]

huh

[delicate ivy]

How long does it normally take to change worlds?

[median locust]

Like a minute at most

[twilit arch]

@crimson crystal you can still get the minion, its not a pre order bonus

[open coral]

A few seconds?

[median locust]

Unless tons of people are trying to get to the same server

[twilit arch]

but it does come from buying the shadowbringers artbook

[median locust]

Like if an S-rank spawned

[crimson wind]

Not long, but if you're changing for a hunt train or fate it might take longer

[delicate ivy]

I mean for changing from like aether to chaos

[twilit arch]

Oh those chests, my bad

afaik no, there's no maps for those chests

just gotta give the leve area a quick survey

[open coral]

Oh, datacenter transfer

Up to 24 hours, I think?

[twilit arch]

no

generally the transfer service takes like a few seconds

doesn't matter if you're going from a world within the same datacenter or to a different one

[hallow bloom]

i wish more games did servers like runescape :/

[little swift]

i personally use show your work @crimson wind

[crimson wind]

just gotta give the leve area a quick survey
@twilit arch I just fly over all the green areas?

[little swift]

more or less you look for a chest

[hallow bloom]

(you can freely jump between worlds)

[little swift]

if you see one you open and cancel

thats it

[twilit arch]

ya, the chests are always going to spawn inside of the leve area

dance, magic, dance is the leve i usually used since it was in a decent spot you could stand on a hill and quickly look to see if you had a chest or not

you can also change one of the name colour settings to make it stand out, though i don't remember what the chests fall under

[little swift]

pretty sure its Objects

[twilit arch]

sounds right

[crimson wind]

Always the green area that shows up on your map before initiating?

or the ones that mark where the monsters spawn

[little swift]

the green area before initiating is where you can initiate the leve

its the area after you initiate thats teh search area

[limpid lantern]

Red mage arms is both the stone and the sword ?

[little swift]

yes its a rapier and a focus

[limpid lantern]

Not like paladins sword and shield ?

[little swift]

but its combined into one item

[remote lintel]

only paladin has an off hand iirc

[junior yacht]

it is treated as one item for equipment purposes

like ninja's knives

[limpid lantern]

Alright kool ^^

I was looking for the focus thingy in the store xD

Geuss i can quit looking

[open coral]

BLM and WHM can also equip main hand/offhand but staves are better

[remote lintel]

oh yeah

but those are like

irrelevant past 50

[open coral]

Yeah

[junior yacht]

they stopped making one-handed mage stuff before ARR even ended

[limpid lantern]

Is it normal when it says average wait time 5 mins that you wait 10min and still need 6 members ?

This waiting in duty finder gets me out of the game vibe story wise.

[median locust]

yeah because that's the average

not the actual time it's gonna take, it can't predict that

[slate oak]

how far in HW can you start flying?

[median locust]

Not very far, like level 51

after you're done with the first area

[slate oak]

main or side quest?

[faint flare]

Both

You need to gather aether currents

From both field and blue quests

[median locust]

Need to finish the MSQ for that area, then there's a bunch of sidequests for Aether Currents, and a quest to unlock flying

[remote lintel]

you unlock the aether compass at lvl 50 msq and do side quests for currents

[faint flare]

With the final one via the msq

[slate oak]

which sidequest line do i need to do for aethar?

[twilit arch]

they will be

[faint flare]

Blue quests

[slate oak]

i mean there are a lot of those 😐

[faint flare]

They'll have it as a reward

[slate oak]

ah gotcha

thanks 🙂

[elfin kelp]

Any recommendations for my next class? I did lancer first and got to the Grand Company and got the chocobo 🙂

[little swift]

the recommendation is keep playing msq

and become a dragoon

[limpid lantern]

So i had 5 people in the party and they all left. Im at 1/8 again

[little swift]

lancer has nothing special

neither do any of the base classes

[open coral]

That’s not exactly how it works unless you’re making your own group in PF

In DF the number of people filled for each role will fluctuate as the algorithms do their thing

[turbid crystal]

what's PF?

[limpid lantern]

Ah i figured it would show the actual numbers

Is the tank dude from the empire fight fun mechsnic wise ? The fight was over in like 5 seconds

[remote lintel]

party finder

[limpid lantern]

I feel like i missed out

[remote lintel]

rhitatyn?

[limpid lantern]

The black armor dude with big cannons on his arms

[limpid lantern]

Yes that guy

[remote lintel]

no

thats how the fight is

[oak ice]

No one knows what he does, he always died quickly

[remote lintel]

cause everyone is op

[forest sage]

it was just longer back in the days

but the fight itself was a joke anyway

[limpid lantern]

Alright xD

[remote lintel]

pretty much all ARR fights are faceroll

[forest sage]

synced coil is still decent

[limpid lantern]

I had slight trouble with the coin protector dude in a dungeon ?

Hard to see the size of his 100 tonz swing

That one shot me twice

[remote lintel]

because he has attacks that dont have tells

[forest sage]

yeah a few fights have somewhat interesting mechanics and can be challenging especially for new players

[remote lintel]

so you have to know what attack is coming

[oak ice]

Coin Counter is always an experience

[limpid lantern]

Yeah it was the first wipe i had actually

[forest sage]

Aurum Vale in general can be quite the adventure

[limpid lantern]

First death was to the doom debuff, not knowing i had to step on the counter

[forest sage]

dungeons don't really get much harder though, some have difficulty spikes due to leveling curve in expansions, and a few have funky mechanics(Diablos in that one ARR dungeon comes to mind) but most are just designed to be fairly easy to go through and get your daillies done

[limpid lantern]

Arr specific or whole game ?

[forest sage]

whole thing

dungeons are for more casual players, the harder content is found in trials and raids

[limpid lantern]

Yeah, dungeons have always been practice mode for raids

[forest sage]

mind you, story trials are also made to be fairly easy due to being tied to story

[magic beacon]

and the only actually difficult content is extremes, savage, and ultimate

in that order

[limpid lantern]

Is there also a normal difficulty below extreme for raids

To get to know it

[remote lintel]

hard mode i guessw

but hard mode is like the normal mode for 50+

[magic beacon]

not really

yeah there used to be Hard mode for trials but we dotn have those after arr

[forest sage]

raids have a normal and a savage version

[magic beacon]

Hard Mode dungeons are just revisiting older dungeons at new level caps

[remote lintel]

thok ast thok and the limitless blue are labeled hard

[delicate ivy]

Can my friend install the free trial before I send him a recruitment code?

[forest sage]

you can't send him a code until he registers the game anyway

[magic beacon]

ok 2 more hard modes after arr but thats it

[forest sage]

I mean he can't register your code before he has the actual game, trial can't use RAF codes

[limpid lantern]

Well if theres no mode to get to know the raids, straigt into the deep i geuss then when i get there

[remote lintel]

no

[forest sage]

there is a normal mode for raids

[remote lintel]

theres normal mode

[magic beacon]

normal mode teaches you what to expect
