What are the best crafters to level to craft glams on the market?

#

I know weaver is one of them

leaden ginkgo
#

Weaver

#

I can assign 2 retainers jobs and they still stay full functioning?

plush hound
#

Weaver, BSM and GSM for weapons.

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You just add extrs functions

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah thanks

signal garnet

LTW, WVR, ARM all make armor

lyric warren
#

aah ok

faint flare
#

It tells you at the top

#

If its unique

lyric warren
#

the icons?

mossy wadi
#

does steam have a cash shop for the game or do I jjust goto Mog Station?

faint flare
#

In the description

plush hound
#

But you were asking which Crafters were best for Glamour.

faint flare
#

Right at the very top

little swift
#

It says UNIQUE

#

if it is

plush hound
#

Well, the FFXIV store, but yes.

twilit arch
#

mogstation

mossy wadi
#

okie dokie..... and "steam wallet" can pay for game time? what else?

faint flare
#

Everything

mossy wadi
#

i'll check it out I guess

limpid lantern
#

Dont i get a full set from the lvl 45 guuld quest stuff ?

median locust
#

Not a full one, no

faint flare
#

You get the last parts at 50

limpid lantern
#

Alright ^^

#

Is glamouring something expensive ?

median locust
#

Depends which glamour you want

faint flare
#

Not really unless you want a expensiv glamour.item

limpid lantern
#

And if i glamour something on a item, can i reglamour it on something else later or is it permanent on that item ?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You can reuse it

limpid lantern
#

I got a sword from the dungeon wich looks kooler but th sword i have is better

#

How do i glamour it on ?

faint flare
#

Then get some glamour prisms which are easy to get then right click

wintry chasm
#

have you done the glamour unlock quest in Vesper Bay?

faint flare
#

You do need to unlock glamour in vesper bey first

limpid lantern
#

I think not then. Let me do thst.

#

MIGHT be helpful ...

wintry chasm
#

Yes

#

then it's just a matter of right clicking your better weapon

#

press glamour

#

then select the weapon you like the look of from the menu that pops up

#

It'll cost a glamour prism but the unlock quest should give some

limpid lantern
#

What happens with the glamour weapon that goes on my weapon

#

Does it stay in inventory ?

wintry chasm
#

Yep

limpid lantern
#

So you can basically buy something for glamour, then sell it again if you want ?

wintry chasm
#

it spiritbonds so you can't sell it on the marketboard (though that weapon couldn't be sold there anyway)

tidal yarrow
#

is there a way to check prices on other servers without having to check one by one?

mossy wadi
#

is it possible to de glamour an item?

faint flare
#

Yes

wintry chasm
#

yes by using a glamour dispeller

limpid lantern
#

Oh you answered my question when i asked it xD

mossy wadi
#

and if it is deglamed does it get destroyed?

faint flare
#

No

wintry chasm
#

there are some websites that would keep tabs on that but they aren't always up to date and there is a kupo bot command for it. I frankly don't remember the website or command

tidal yarrow
#

were any of those yes answering me

faint flare
#

Just removes the glamour

mossy wadi
#

nope, meant me

wind skiff
#

whats the command for update countdown?

wintry chasm
#

@tidal yarrow found that command. Try something like "!market aether Good King Moggle Mog XII orchestrion roll" in #kupo-bot-spam

simple pine
#

what is an easy way to get some better ilevel gear at 50?

wintry chasm
#

yes

#

if you finished the base game story you can buy ironworks gear at Mor Dhona which is ilvl 120

#

also your level 50 job quest gives ilvl 90 gear

simple pine
#

i see, what about accesories? those are mainly dragging down my ilvl

wintry chasm
#

ironworks accessories

simple pine
#

thanks

agile laurel
#

Is it literally impossible for Wildfire to crit?

rose oak
#

How does u make your hp bar bigger?

vivid wolf
#

Settings -> hud

#

Click the Hp bar and then the detailed settings icon

#

Should allow for scaling

rose oak
#

Ty

#

Also is my town always gonna be this slow?

#

Like compare to wow

novel parcel
#

Does materia scale down/not work in level synced content? Say I'm doing a roulette and I have a bunch of big CH and DH materia, will I always DH/crit ?

rose oak
#

He is a snail

strange coral
#

town?

agile laurel
#

probably meant toon

faint flare
#

Materia is turned off when you're synced

tidal yarrow
faint flare
#

And completely ignored

rose oak
#

Yeah toon

#

Lol

#

Sorry autocorrect

agile laurel
#

The GCD in XIV is longer because there is a much, much larger off-GCD aspect of each class's kit

novel parcel
#

Ah that's a shame, ty Vinyl

vivid wolf
#

Do you Mean slow as in running?

#

You can get a mount at lvl 20

faint flare
#

Its why people used old BiS for ultimates (primarily Alexander) cause you.lose those substats

agile laurel
#

for example, summoner has a 2.4 or so second GCD because its opener expects you to put 2 actions between each GCD in its opener for about 7 GCDs

vivid wolf
#

Just do the main story quest and you'll get a mount somewhere at lvl 20

strange coral
#

@tidal yarrow Yes. In the later levels, hunt log targets can be in dungeons.

obsidian patio
#

@tidal yarrow yes they’re only in that dungeon

tidal yarrow
#

why everything arr related is so painfully bad

faint flare
#

Because its the start and the devs were learning

mild ermine
#

How do I dye the level 80 artifact gear?

faint flare
#

Dyeable lv80 af gear is from Memoria EX

wintry chasm
#

^ a trial from the relic questline of Shadowbringers

#

which in of itself requires the Stormblood 24-man completed

mild ermine
#

High end duty right?

rose oak
#

@vivid wolf yes like his running feel sluggish

mild ermine
#

Seems simple enough.

rose oak
#

Idk if is that wow toons move faster but even in mounts I feel slow

boreal aurora
#

why i have no sound ingame

rose oak
#

Like tanking dungeons and I'm like hitting sprint on cd just to be quicker

boreal aurora
#

nvm

hallow bloom
#

uh so i'm currently in the area in stormblood with lots of water and can now do swimming can i swim under from the surface or do i need to go to that underwater place and leave onto the ocean floor from there?

nova umbra
#

is there a way to easily identify someone's class without looking at their weapons in the open world?

#

asking for aetherial mimicry reasons

vivid wolf
#

Mounts also peogresst in speed after certain points

#

Tbf dungeons are slow since there is a lot of action going on

agile laurel
#

@hallow bloom you can dive in any deep enough water body yes

hallow bloom
#

how?

median locust
#

You need to unlock diving first

vivid wolf
#

Usually a single sprint is enough take you from fight a to fight b in an alliance raid

median locust
#

After that, it's Ctrl + Space on keyboard, don't know about controller

hallow bloom
#

i unlocked swimming i just swum up to the surface

#

ah

#

so it is

magic beacon
#

is there a way to easily identify someone's class without looking at their weapons in the open world?
@nova umbra you can Examine them

nova umbra
#

ah of course facepalm

magic beacon
#

diving on controller is just Circle button

nova umbra
#

forget I ever asked anything

magic beacon
#

or look down, go forward

hallow bloom
#

i'm used to it just being point camera down in most games (that allow diving at least...)

median locust
#

don't think look down go forward works unless you're flying

hallow bloom
#

ye

median locust
#

If you're flying you just hit the water at a vertical angle and you automatically dive

mossy wadi
#

how much space does the ARR takeup? I forget. I installed on a SSD and my dock is currently hooked up to my Wii U with a different SSDi in it 😄

violet star
#

Isn't it like 40GBs?

mossy wadi
#

the full install?.

glacial tree
#

46.2 GB

mossy wadi
#

oh. not bad.

glacial tree
#

at least on mine. i miiight have reshade profiles saved in there as well (which don't take up too much space tbh)

mossy wadi
#

I guess I just have to sacrifice time for a patch. the internal SSD on this laptop is 250 GB

unique geyser
#

are there guides or general tips for playing BLM below 80? None of the rotation guides etc I can find are helpful since they all require end-game spells

faint flare
#

!faq blmleveling

zinc orbitBOT
#
THM/BLM leveling rotations
magic beacon
#

theres a new rotation every 10 levels

mossy wadi
#

oh nice

magic beacon
#

it sucks

signal garnet
#

So for the crafting classes, do they all give skills needed?

faint flare
#

Black.mage changes every few levels.so there's a command for lower level stuffs

magic beacon
#

they do now, yes

unique geyser
#

thanks vinyl

signal garnet
#

Or can I just go straight to ishgard

magic beacon
#

you should go straight to ishgard

#

your crafter job quests do give valuable skills

#

so do those

signal garnet
#

Oh ok thats what I was talking about

#

i did leves to 50 for all of them so I have a backlog

mossy wadi
#

hmmm says 52 GB on steam install.... that's before patching

magic beacon
#

sounds abotu right

unique geyser
#

follow-up question: how are you supposed to double cast flare if it uses all of your mana?

magic beacon
#

Umbral Hearts reduce MP cost

mossy wadi
#

oops.... 52mb mistead

magic beacon
#

so you trade all your Umbral Hearts and use only most of your MP

#

and cast again

#

then Manafont

#

cast again

#

X potion

#

cast again

#

theres one on aether

#

idk about the other DCs but im sure theres one

agile laurel
#

crystal kinda makes it up as we go

limpid lantern
#

Csn crit and direct hit proc at the same time ?

median locust
#

Yes

magic beacon
#

yeah thats a double !

#

like 99,999!!

median locust
limpid lantern
#

Ah that explains the big hit i just did

mossy wadi
#

see ya in 150mins

#

oh.... is ARR added to the New Game + yet?

faint flare
#

No

#

Next patch

mossy wadi
#

oh when?

faint flare
#

11th

mossy wadi
#

oh wow. this month?

faint flare
#

Yes

magic beacon
#

its getting a rework so theyre delaying it until after the quest reworks

lavish vortex
#

Where can I find lvl 30 and 35 Levequests for miner and botanist?

magic beacon
#

which goes live in 8 days

median locust
#

Big patch on August 11th ye

mossy wadi
#

okay

#

any websites compare 1.0 to ARR? just curious

magic beacon
#

Where can I find lvl 30 and 35 Levequests for miner and botanist?
@lavish vortex Coerthas Central Highlands

median locust
#

1.0 and ARR are like, completely different types of MMOs, there's almost no comparing them

#

1.0 was just really really bad so they had to nuke it and pretend it never happened

mossy wadi
#

sure, would be nice to watch a yt video or see a sumar y on a wiki

magic beacon
#

theres a whole documentary on it

mossy wadi
#

thank you

potent oasis
#

Hey, I'm a "WoW refugee" that's looking to get into FF14 this weekend, played the free trial to around ~28 before my last PC died on me GWsetmyxPeepoSad I was wondering which job I should play based on my WoW mains? Looked into a ton of vids and stuff, but can't really decide.

For ref, I mostly played Fire Mage and Arms/Fury Warrior.

median locust
#

it's not so much about the game but more about the developpment process and how it ended up being so bad

magic beacon
#

its pretty long but it gives you the whole picture

lavish vortex
#

@magic beacon thanks!

@potent oasis there arent a whole lot of 1-to-1 translations of other WoW jobs, but Black Mage and Warrior do the same type of things

faint flare
#

Read this

potent oasis
#

Fair enough, I actually see a lot of close comparison between Arcane and BLM at least, so that's something I can work with as a base. SAM actually looks like it has a few shared elements with Arms Warr too

faint flare
#

Has some class comparisons

potent oasis
#

Massive thanks for the link, didn't check into Reddit yet

grim pivot
#

I got invited into a newbie chat and damn

#

if I asked just a quarter of the amount I did in WoW I wouldve been flamed and blocked by 10 people already

#

instead I got actual nice and helpful responses?

median locust
#

community is really friendly here in comparison, yeah

faint flare
#

Surprise, the community is actually nicr

potent oasis
#

Yeah, my time during the free trial period was something I still find memorable

#

People were patient and wanting to talk in-game, let alone out-of-game about questions I had or even just offering tips

agile laurel
#

Novice network can be really hit and miss but good to hear there's some that're helpful

magic beacon
#

yeah, the mentor system kind of sucks but you get a few gems

agile laurel
#

If you want more class comparisons, summoner starts and ends feeling like the most blessed warlock to ever exist

#

like, all of the specs. at once

mossy kite
#

Hello, sorry to interrupt. I wondered if anyone knows the rough time for a response from EU support. Trying to get an old account unlinked as no longer have the token.

agile laurel
#

i wouldn't be able to compare sam to anything frankly but the pacing is similar to arms i suppose

grim pivot
#

pretty sure it said something about 36 hours

#

might be completely wrong tho

clever cave
#

Good novice network depends on server entirely...

grim pivot
#

Im on Zodiark, we went from answering my questions to talking about the Souls Games lol

potent oasis
#

@faint flare that thread had exactly what I wanted, thank you so much GWseremePeepoHappy 👉 ❤️

mossy kite
#

Ah thanks, seems like something to sleep on then.

grim pivot
#

I can tell you WoW is taking up to 10 days at the moment, pre corona it took a few hours, so maybe remember that

mossy kite
#

Well ive not played since before the first expansion so I can wait a little longer

magic beacon
#

SE Support is pretty notorious

agile laurel
#

the only point I'd raise for WoW players playing XIV, is there is an unfortunate number of the playerbase who will happily pin anyone identified as a wow player as a toxic hellspawn

magic beacon
#

the cure for that is easy, just dont be a dick

agile laurel
#

it's just asshats as per usual, but might not want to open with 'hi i'm a wow player' not that you would

potent oasis
#

I'm used to generalized statements being made in almost all mediums tbh, in-game I'd never make it known upfront

mossy kite
#

Im guessing they wont have deleted my account if its that old?

agile laurel
#

it's practically the same frequency of people who in wow make loud unsolicited noise that XIV is a weeb game for weebs, honestly

potent oasis
#

Don't even blame the community for it either, seeing what the WoW community's turned into

magic beacon
#

lol but the hard truth is it kind of is a weeb game for weebs

#

we like it anyway

potent oasis
#

Tbf I am a weeb so I'm filling the stereotype

boreal aurora
#

im not tho

#

and still play ff14

agile laurel
#

i really speak from a good perspective as a catgirl sitting in my player housing, yeah i guess lmao

boreal aurora
#

i didnt watch anime since years

potent oasis
#

But it's a hell of a lot nicer to be playing a game that fits my themes than it is to be branded a toxic asshole

magic beacon
#

it could be a lot more weeby and its not so thats a nice thing

potent oasis
#

Also true

boreal aurora
#

is it a weeb game? no . does it have weebs? yes

agile laurel
#

i expected constant weebery when leveling samurai and it turned out to be one of my favourite narratives told in a game

#

samurai job quests, that is

potent oasis
#

It fits the bill, but you don't have to be a weeb to enjoy it either

magic beacon
#

idk dude if i see one more G Gundam macro for Midare im gonna scream

agile laurel
#

and if push comes to shove sometimes you have to grin, bear it, and roll a catgirl

potent oasis
#

I'll just macro it to Plus Ultra instead GWcmeisterPeepoEZ

magic beacon
#

aw shit here we go

agile laurel
#

for... midare? people macro every 7th gcd or so?

magic beacon
#

i plan on a G Gundam macro for GNB continuation for Bozja 1v1

agile laurel
#

wait that raises even more questions how do you macro specifically midare and not the other iajutsu

#

ah well lmao

potent oasis
#

Yeah, the important thing is definitely just going to be having a good time and doing my best to enjoy the game above anything else, I met one passive aggressive guy in my time on the free trial

#

Also wait yeah idk how that would work for Higanbana

#

Kinda awk to just do it back to back in an opener

agile laurel
#

Yeah as said, since outright toxicity runs a serious risk of getting you hit with the naughty stick by GMs people manifest it in Facebook-tier passive aggressiveness

potent oasis
#

Thank god

stray rivet
#

Hi guys I'm new in the game lol 27 Pgl looking for a free company to join and do the important thinks and get good advices tho grimacing

magic beacon
#

i think it's because the MSQ locks everything that people are nice. they want you to see everything so you can join them

potent oasis
#

I hate being toxic and the community in WoW pushed me to it, I just wanna have a good time and help other people do the same

frigid isle
#

Hey everyone! Just got the game the other day.. I've been playing wow for a couple of months and decided to take a break..Is it normal that ffxiv is so boring at the start?

agile laurel
#

just for god's sake don't say you dislike the story

#

It starts a bit slow, yeah

magic beacon
#

Hey everyone! Just got the game the other day.. I've been playing wow for a couple of months and decided to take a break..Is it normal that ffxiv is so boring at the start?
@frigid isle yeah thats normal, it picks up at level 30

potent oasis
#

@frigid isle typically yes, combat is definitely slow to start

agile laurel
#

It took me a few attempts to get into it

magic beacon
#

it gets way, way better at 50 when you have your whole class starter kit

frigid isle
#

Aight I'll keep rolling then

faint flare
#

Addle is very useful

#

It reduces the damage magic attacks do

magic beacon
#

I'll take my questions here lol.

So I got this ability that reduces enemy's minds by 5%. Is this an ability I need to slot for something, because it seems like it's for PvP?
@silk vector thats a PvE skill for reducing boss damage, very useful. PVP has its own different skills for each job,.

faint flare
#

Pvp has completely seperate abilities

agile laurel
#

yeah pvp has a somewhat stripped/few things added moveset entirely

magic beacon
#

yeah like entirely different

agile laurel
#

it basically condenses every job to 10 buttons or so

#

and removes some stuff entirely like ast cards

magic beacon
#

entirely so

halcyon glen
#

There's a solid chance I'm just blind but where would one acquire a lightweight tomestone for phantasmagoria weapons?

faint flare
#

Not much but occasionally

raven sage
#

Run E4N 4 times @halcyon glen

halcyon glen
#

Interrupts yes

faint flare
#

!faq interrupt

zinc orbitBOT
#
Interrupt
magic beacon
#

you collect 4 Blades of Golden Antiquity from E4N and then trade them at the Eden vendor

agile laurel
#

Yes and no, less than say, WoW, but you do use it

halcyon glen
#

ah. that requires unlocking eden.

magic beacon
#

yes yes

agile laurel
#

generally anything implied to be interrupted will have a slow cast

#

Yeah stuff like interrupt orders are not a thing

magic beacon
#

and a blinky cast bar

leaden ginkgo
#

Hi guys, im just trying to get started with FF14 and i cant seem to get past the free trial screen, help would be appreciated.

agile laurel
#

ranged physical dps and tanks

#

specifically

halcyon glen
#

Tanks and Ranged get interrupts

agile laurel
#

more classes get stuns but as you're aware that can be different

halcyon glen
#

White Mage actually has the best stun

#

for Reasons

shell walrus
#

Question about the online store - when I click 'confirm items to be purchased', does it ask me for payment method? or does it automatically charge my registered card?

median locust
#

Ranged DPS and Tanks, get Interrupt, Tanks, Melee DPS and White Mage get Stuns

agile laurel
#

yes, but as in wow some things can be interrupted that can't be stunned

#

and vice versa

#

same applies here

#

best early-introduction to messing with interrupts I find is haukke manor

#

lots of interruptibles, lots of long casts that can be stunned, lots of none of the above

frigid isle
#

Another question... People say the stroy is nice in this game,but for me it's super annoying to read the npc bubble so i always skip it. Is it possible to grasp the story just from the voiced cutscenes?

unique geyser
#

is there a reason to ever have scathe on your bars as blm?

agile laurel
#

not really, and no

magic beacon
#

yeah, most of the important story is in the voiced cutscenes, but there is value in the speech bubbles

agile laurel
#

scathe only has use when you maybe can't cast anything else before the target dies, or I guess you're forced to move for an extended time

faint flare
#

For extreme niche cases but you'll rarely use scathe

agile laurel
#

but really no

magic beacon
#

you can adjust the size of the speech bubbles to make em bigger and less annoying

agile laurel
#

scathe is generally described as 'don't do this'

#

similar levels of 'don't do this' as B1/2

frigid isle
#

Ok, I'll try

magic beacon
#

in a normal, not cutscene bubble, right click and increase size to like 140%

#

if your eusing controller you gotta use the Virtual Mouse

violet star
#

@leaden ginkgo that's the common anti-fraud error. look into using a different browser, using your phone, turning off vpn

frigid isle
#

nah mouse and keyboard

#

tyty

median locust
#

Use Scathe if you won't have time to cast anything else before the boss leaves, that's it. Even using it over nothing can be detrimental because it could make you lose a Fire IV spell

halcyon glen
#

once you get into the expansions where more stuff is voiced

#

you can figure out most of the story from that

magic beacon
#

talk to a normal NPC and it should let you adjust

shell walrus
#

answering my own question, it asks you for payment methods afterwards

leaden ginkgo
#

@violet star ill give that a shot, Thanks

potent oasis
#

So, bit of an odd question: I owned the base game for FF14 previously (gifted through Steam), but I'm looking to effectively start over without the base game, so that I can play the free trial. Am I just up a creek without a paddle and forced to start with a new email + Square Enix acc?

faint flare
#

Yep

#

Gotta do a new account

potent oasis
#

Shoot, can I at least close out this account and open a new one with the same email in any way?

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

🤷‍♂️

magic beacon
#

idk if you can close an account

potent oasis
#

Hm, I'll check a bit further into it, appreciate the info regardless

leaden ginkgo
#

im pretty sure that i dont have an account

potent oasis
#

Hmm

leaden ginkgo
#

"registered'

potent oasis
#

Got my answer, unfortunately you can't re-use the e-mail, so I'd have to open a new one if I wanted to do it

magic beacon
#

oof

#

oh well

potent oasis
#

Also, it is possible to cancel an acc

magic beacon
#

new emails for every game is the way to go anyway

potent oasis
#

Looks like I'll be down $15 GWjiangoPenguDab

shell walrus
#

hm I just purchased a bunch of minions on the online store and they weren't sent to my delivery moogle... :/

potent oasis
#

Nope, we keep those consolidated

magic beacon
#

it takes a little while Ingue

#

be patient

shell walrus
#

I received the other goods, just no minions

leaden ginkgo
#

i got it working, i can play online with my friends on the free trail right?

magic beacon
#

you can but you cant join a FC or have a friends list

raven sage
#

If the minions are account-wide then they'll take a bit longer

remote lintel
#

you can't invite them to a party

leaden ginkgo
#

so how does this work

#

do i need to buy the game to unlock those features or a subscription

shell walrus
#

Thanks all, they were account wide so I'll wait!

magic beacon
#

yeah, you have to have the game to use social functions

#

they can invite you to a party tho

leaden ginkgo
#

do i need this one?

true flower
#

have they confirmed that 5.3 yokai event will include previous event's weapons?

magic beacon
#

yes they have

true flower
shell walrus
#

I'm relatively new to the game.. what is the way to make more room in your armoury chest? I would hope to avoid having to sell things just to make space..

magic beacon
#

yeah theres an armoire that can store certain items

#

you can desynthesize items for materials

faint flare
#

Retainers

magic beacon
#

or trade them into your GC for currency

shell walrus
#

You'd want to hang on to unique/event type items though, no?:

magic beacon
#

retainers also have their own inventory and gear slots

#

you can just put them into the armoire and get them out when you want

faint flare
#

Event items can typically go in the armourie

shell walrus
#

Cool

faint flare
#

Or you can toss them into the glamour dresser

#

To store them

shell walrus
#

I imagine that people playing for years have quite a lot of stuff

tidal yarrow
#

if I play on console and switch to pc can I remain to same account?

shell walrus
#

Does buying a house give you more storage space?

faint flare
#

No

tidal yarrow
#

woah

magic beacon
#

do i need this one?
@leaden ginkgo yeah you need at least the base game to use social functions yourself

tidal yarrow
#

all the mog stuff o.o

faint flare
#

You can only store furniture in houses

shell walrus
#

I think he said No to me, Yuuko

#

You can stay on same account 🙂

magic beacon
#

if I play on console and switch to pc can I remain to same account?
@tidal yarrow yeah same account

tidal yarrow
#

ahh oki It sounded so wrong

leaden ginkgo
tidal yarrow
#

lol

remote lintel
#

yes you can have a console license of the game and a pc license of the game but you'll need to buy the game again

leaden ginkgo
#

its just a bundle of every dlc

magic beacon
#

but you have to buy the PC version of the game sepparately

tidal yarrow
#

okay got it

magic beacon
leaden ginkgo
#

gotcha

latent blade
#

Can anyone help me im in voice chat i have a question..

remote lintel
#

dont know if that site is legit

leaden ginkgo
#

it is dont worry

magic beacon
#

yeah buy it from the SE website

leaden ginkgo
#

i buy all my games there

remote lintel
#

i mean

#

it's cheaper on the SE store right now

leaden ginkgo
#

fr

remote lintel
#

oh nvm

true flower
#

only scenario in which it'd be preferable on steam is if you have a wallet income via trading and the like

remote lintel
#

that one is a few dollars cheaper

true flower
#

since you could use steam funds to buy expacs/time

leaden ginkgo
#

i have around 30 bucks on steam so that would be nice

shell walrus
#

I used my steam funds to buy DLC for the PS4 version because it's the only option that lets me pay with Paypal ;p

#

feels like I'm laundering money

remote lintel
#

@leaden ginkgo are you in EU?

leaden ginkgo
#

yup

remote lintel
#

that doesn't look like you can use it on steam

#

it looks liek a windows key

leaden ginkgo
#

its a MOG station key or smth

remote lintel
#

they all use mog station

#

but it has the same picture as the one on the SE store

#

and i don't think i've ever seen a 3rd party seller sell steam keys

simple shore
#

Would be pretty strange for them to do so

#

Especially not specifically labelled

#

because that would be asking for trouble

leaden ginkgo
#

im getting kinda confused

simple shore
#

Steam licenses cant be used on non-steam accounts, and vice versa

leaden ginkgo
#

so if i buy that key ill get it on MOG station ?

remote lintel
#

there's a windows license and a steam license of the game

#

no

#

mog station is for managing all ff14 account related stuff

#

for all platforms

leaden ginkgo
#

gotcha

#

so what is better steam or windows store

remote lintel
#

the only difference is that steam doesnt go on sale as often

simple shore
#

I'd personally never recommend Steam just based on the questions we get in this channel.

remote lintel
#

but if you buy on windows you're locked to windows and if you buy on steam you're locked to steam

simple shore
#

for FF14, anyway

leaden ginkgo
#

so it wont matter if its steam or windows sotore

remote lintel
#

it matters for buying dlc and stuff

#

you can't use windows dlc on steam

#

and you can't use steam dlc on windows

leaden ginkgo
#

the key includes 4 dlcs

magic beacon
#

you just have to use the same store, whichever one you choose

remote lintel
#

yes but it doesn't say which platform

#

which is sus

simple shore
#

I mean, buying 3rd party keys is shady to begin with

leaden ginkgo
#

this site is legit tho

remote lintel
#

eh if it's from legit sellers like greenmangaming its fine

leaden ginkgo
#

i literaly bought 43 games on cdkeys and i never got scammed cuz its legit

magic beacon
#

up to you

remote lintel
#

ok i'm just saying it doesnt tell you whether its on steam or windows

#

do it if you want

#

and you're locked to one or the other

shell walrus
#

Can I safely turn stuff into glamour? Or does that mean I can't revert it back to regular equipment? Sorry - new to this.. I bought some cool attires on the Store and want to see if I can equip it as glamour

leaden ginkgo
#

Anyone here play Mahjong?

remote lintel
#

yes you can take stuff out of your glamour dresser which turns it back into a normal piece of gear @shell walrus

#

mog station stuff is purely for glamour use tho

magic beacon
#

Anyone here play Mahjong?
@leaden ginkgo yeah whats up

leaden ginkgo
#

@magic beacon Oh nice. I'm still just learning to play. Are familiar with every rule of the game?

median locust
#

I know basic rules yaycarby

magic beacon
#

im kind of a beginner but i understand the rules

shell walrus
#

Thanks @remote lintel

leaden ginkgo
#

I think I understand the rules lol. But I keep losing at the novice table

magic beacon
#

a lot of it is luck of the draw

leaden ginkgo
#

Mkay

#

Do you play often?

magic beacon
#

yeah like a few times a week ill sit down and just hammer out some games

#

tryna get better

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh nice

#

Did you wanna play?

magic beacon
#

im out of sub time atm but i for sure would

little swift
#

For riichi in particular you want to try to win with as much of your hand hidden as possible

#

Both of you guys are on different data centers too

magic beacon
#

lol this guys bout to hussle me for all my MGP lol

remote lintel
#

i dont think you can play with people from different DCs

magic beacon
#

jk, jk

median locust
#

Need 4 triplets or sequences, 1 pair and 1 or more yaku for a winning hand

#

but I'm sure there's other ways

#

like 7 pairs is a thing

magic beacon
#

you can also make a bet if youre close to winning and hope someone else puts down your winner tile

leaden ginkgo
#

You can jump to a diff DC at any time though, right?

magic beacon
#

no you gotta pay to jump DCs

median locust
#

No, only between servers

little swift
#

No you can't

faint flare
#

Not without paying

leaden ginkgo
#

I heard it's best to steal a tile near the end of the game, is that right?

vivid thorn
#

which ARR EX fight is most representative of the rest of the MSQ?

little swift
#

Money is required

magic beacon
#

well if youre stealing tiles you get 3 chances per round instead of 1 draw

median locust
#

@vivid thorn what do you mean, EX fights are never required

little swift
#

None of the exs are required

magic beacon
#

which ARR EX fight is most representative of the rest of the MSQ?
@vivid thorn King Mog EX

#

because its a cluster f

leaden ginkgo
#

@magic beacon what's your char name?

vivid thorn
#

it may not be required by the MSQ proper, more like which EX has the most mechanics susceptible to return in later MSQ fights

magic beacon
#

ohhh, like for practice?

#

most mechanics pop up in later stuff here and there, its hard to say

little swift
#

Uhhh msq rarely has mechanics that are of difficulty

magic beacon
#

some pop up in dungeons too

#

yeah but she means EX mechanics that show up later

little swift
#

Mostly stack markers and tankbustera

#

I guees rotation mechanics and exaflares too

vivid thorn
#

I think I lack the skill required to get through the HW MSQ

faint flare
#

No you dont

little swift
#

But arr exs didn't solidify how the game represents mechanicz through markers

faint flare
#

The story is east

magic beacon
#

nah you got this jess jess

faint flare
#

There's nothing difficult in it

little swift
#

The markers start being consistent end of heavensward

magic beacon
#

maybe a little research on your rotations and toolsets and youll be fine

Which potion do you usualy use for healing hp at level 80?

shell walrus
#

I just learned about glamour.. fashion fantasy has begun

#

oh my

simple shore
#

@leaden ginkgo None? Almost nobody uses healing potions for anything other than niche situations (POTD solo, etc.)

#

The only real potions that see usage at 80 are stat potions for raiding, and low-level mana pots for BLM's who want to do an extra flare because flares are cool.

jade quartz

Ethers are also sometimes used by healers in prog

Can a piece of gear that is class restricted be used as glamour by any class? (i.e. tank gear able to be projected on RDM equipment, or BLM/THM only gear able to be projected to any other class)

No

I am getting panic attacks over HW...

Aww, well thanks anyway

Which potion do you usualy use for healing hp at level 80?
@leaden ginkgo none, potions at lv 80 are used to buff your main stat

#

Will I have to create a new account and somehow link it to steam

acoustic lichen
#

When do they usually drop info on 6.0

warm aspen
#

or can I use my old account?

acoustic lichen
#

One couple months before or?

obsidian patio
#

You’d need a new account to play on steam

jade quartz
#

If you’re currently playing on PC without Steam, then playing through Steam will require a completely new account, new payment, new character

#

I wouldn’t recommend it as there’s no meaningful advantage to switching

warm aspen
#

Ok thanks

vivid thorn
#

for some reason I feel I need to get an EX fight down before going into HW

obsidian patio
#

@acoustic lichen usually happens at the fanfests but with the first two being cancelled and the third one likely getting the same fate it’s unknown for sure how they’ll tell us

glacial tree
#

Jess - you really don't. try not to sweat it

acoustic lichen
#

So they should’ve already released it the info

#

Like months ago

#

Damn

obsidian patio
#

No

#

Pretty sure the first fanfest date hasn’t happened yet

acoustic lichen
#

Was fan fest not two months ago?

#

Was meant to be*

obsidian patio
#

Lemme double check

glacial tree
#

Nov 6-7 was original US date

acoustic lichen
#

I always thought it was a summer thing

#

My bad

#

Guess got a lot of waiting then

#

I’m seeing so many prediction videos and it’s still 3 months away earliest

glacial tree
#

all we know for sure is that US fan fest has been cancelled. JP and EU fests are still up in the air

jade quartz
#

eu was cancelled.

glacial tree
#

ah, that was new to me

#

interesting

acoustic lichen
#

Guess they will just drop the info online in November

jade quartz
#

Well they’ve expressed a desire to maybe reschedule both NA and EU for later

acoustic lichen
#

With new expac path In early 2021?

jade quartz
#

But who knows

glacial tree
#

i hope so, Lyon!

jade quartz
#

Actually my bad

glacial tree
#

i saw one rumor about having some sort of online fan fast

#

fest* - not sure how that would work

jade quartz
#

It’s NA and JP that are canceled

#

EU still up in the air

glacial tree
#

gotcha

vivid thorn
#

if I was able to get an EX fight down before HW starts, I would no longer need to worry about skill

halcyon glen
#

I mean, on one hand

#

wrong

jade quartz
#

Nah

#

Don’t sweat it

halcyon glen
#

because dungeons =/= trials

jade quartz
#

Carry on the story

#

You’re not likely to get a party for level 50 extremes that aren’t unsynced anyway

halcyon glen
#

Remind me what class you're on?

#

^

jade quartz
#

Meaning you’re not gonna actually learn much or experience difficulty in them

vivid thorn
#

for now, I may have the gear but I do SCH as a main, SMN as a secondary

halcyon glen
#

Big thing on SCH as a healer is gear

#

and making sure your job quests are done

vivid thorn
#

but once the gear is in order, skill is still the issue

chilly kettle
#

I just got to new city, first time playing, is it worth doing all side quests in new city or just carry on with main storyline?

white ether
#

Where can I check the stats for my class

#

Like Tenacity and criticalhit rate

halcyon glen
#

@chilly kettle No

#

@vivid thorn Aye, though I severely doubt anyone with half a brain is unskilled enough for the HW story dungeons

#

Sure ya might die a few times, but who cares?

vivid thorn
#

trials are the biggest skill bottlenecks

#

not dungeons

halcyon glen
#

Just a "Hey, first time here!" in party chat should ward off any animosity your tank might have. May even convince them to pull smaller or actually wait for your shields

#

Eh, even so, Ravana and Bizzy ain't too scary

#

Ravana just make sure all the adds are dead and nothing bad should happen and Bismark just follow the party.

#

The last trial of HW is way more intimidating than it actually is because it absolutely did not hold up well vs the item level increase

Grand Company FAQ

Which Grand Company should I choose?

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you chose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here are two links leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies

Maelstrom
Twin Adders
Immortal Flames

How do I get Grand Company Seals?

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in for more seals.

halcyon glen
#

It does decide where you need to go for your weekly turn-ins

jade quartz
#

@white sinew no they give different crystals

halcyon glen
#

And what company glamours you can pick up

jade quartz
#

AF3 dyeable upgrade is purely in Anemos

halcyon glen
#

For efficient turn-ins, choose anything except the Maelstrom

#

For the best glams, choose the Maelstrom

Some people must be holding a massive party there or something daft

Or I dunno

Aw rip

The only time it gets congested is if something just came out there or a fate is going to happen or something

Unprecedented for a time like this

So... don’t have any answer for you except to wait until later

ugh. 9002 error

it let me in then kicked me

open coral
#

9002 is a connection to server error, isn't it?

wintry chasm
#

I don't remember

open coral
#

Try quitting out of the entire game and the launcher, then restarting it.

jade quartz
#

90002 is

halcyon glen
#

I mean usually i associate that with a few extra zeroes

#

yeah

mossy wadi
#

oops sorry din't count all the zeross

halcyon glen
#

yeah 90k means ya disconnected from the server

@mossy wadi Discord is not nearly as sensitive to things like packet loss or ping spikes as FF14 is.

mossy wadi
#

okay then

#

do a speed test?

wintry chasm
#

Also the connection would be routed a different way?

simple shore
#

Yes that too

vivid thorn
#

I had no luck trying to form a static or a PF for EX primals

simple shore
#

Speed test isnt going to tell you much

halcyon glen
#

yeah because no one in their right mind does synced primals anymore

simple shore
#

If its shit, it tells you your connection is shit as a whole. If its normal, it tells you nothing because all it means is that you have a good connection to the place you speed tested.

jade quartz
#

@vivid thorn I would highly recommend disregarding the ex primal thing and continuing the story

#

You’re not doing yourself any favour really

proud willow
#

I see PFs occasionally for old synced primals/Coil, but I imagine they take a while to fill

open coral
#

@vivid thorn You can always go back later and solo the EX primals unsynced.

proud willow
#

they're not really fun content for most people

simple shore
#

Normally the first thing i'll do if i suddenly get connection problems to ff14 is do something like a ping -n 100 google.com and seeing if im getting massive packet loss or something real obvious like that.

They’re kinda

patent citrus
#

how can i browse paladin glamour omegalul

simple shore
#

FF14 is particularly sensitive to packet loss. Anything above 3% is basically unplayable.

jade quartz
#

Old design that doesn’t fully reflect how fights are designed nowadays

mossy wadi
simple shore
#

As stated, that tells us nothing.

open coral
#

What we're trying to explain to you is that the issue isn't with your internet speed, necessarily.

mossy wadi
#

okay. I get that.

#

I know in UO you're allowed to ping the serverss....... are you allowed to in FFXIV?

open coral
#

The issue is that, for some reason, you're probably having packet loss spikes which are specifically interfering with your connection to the FFXIV servers.

#

You can. The IPs are out there.

simple shore
#

Pretty sure there's a kupo bot command for the servers

I purchased the game on steam but still I can't use the Hrothgar or Viera

That' why

Are you pinging a datacenter or something else?

so you have a bigger result set

Repeatedly triggering the error doesnt really tell you anything.

#

And "they" probably have nothing to do with it

before it was a 90002

If you're getting kicked out repeatedly, its almost certainly internet connection related

how do I ping the IP?

Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*

@leaden ginkgo goes and siphons items from the abyss for 18 hours. Mostly used for levelling up the retainer since the items themselves are worthless.

little swift
#

if you're having connection difficulties

#

consider the use of a VPN

#

also its likely your routing to the servers

#

probably an issue at a certain node

#

that has nothing to do with the game

mossy wadi
#

okay.... what date center is excalibur?

little swift
#

just means your ISP is stupid

patent citrus
little swift
#

excalibur is primal

simple shore
#

Yeah so i'd suggest you do in your situation is -

ping -n 100 204.2.229.10

and see what your average MS is as well as any packet loss

mossy wadi
#

OH.... I don't directly pay for the internet.... my lanlord charges me $30 for cable/ internet

patent citrus
#

got higher ping, 172 ms now with 100 packets haha

mossy wadi
#

Reply from 204.2.229.10: bytes=32 time=92ms TTL=44

simple shore
#

Mickey just wait for it to finish

mossy wadi
#

oh........... okay....

white ether
#

What the highest resolution that ff can handle without cutscenes being in 4:3

simple shore
#

At the end it'll tell you what the average MS was as well as Sent/Recieved/Lost

leaden ginkgo
#

@halcyon glen So early on I should just be doing that instead of the 1 hour ventures?

mossy wadi
#

it went away..... I put the command suggested in the search bar for windows

halcyon glen
#

I tend to do the 1 hour ventures while I'm online and when I know I'm about to get off I send them on the long venture @leaden ginkgo

Interesting

#

Aight thanks

simple shore
#

@mossy wadi do Windows-R, and in the dialogue that comes up, type cmd and then hit okay

#

Then put the command into the command prompt window

little swift
simple shore
#

the one i gave you above

little swift
#

open command prompt

leaden ginkgo
#

Why does he need to ping the IP?

frigid cedar
#

This is a glamour related question, does anyone know what clothes does "Broken Mountain" or Curius George's brother from the Warrior quests wears?

somber forge
#

Does the whm need another class besides the cnj?

simple shore
#

@leaden ginkgo because we're seeing if he's having connection problems to the DC or something else.

halcyon glen
#

Nope

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah

somber forge
#

So just cnj 30?

little swift
#

@frigid cedar look it up through garland tools

#

they usually have all the npc details

somber forge
#

That's perfect, thanks @halcyon glen

frigid cedar
#

oh. okay

#

thanks I'll look it up

halcyon glen
#

Hunting = I need something specific
Field Exploration = I ain't touching this for a while, go get exp
Quick Exploration = R A N D O M S T U F F

simple shore
#

Quick Exploration = go steal shit from peoples housing

lavish vortex
#

Where can I find lvl 45 Levequests for miner and botanist?

leaden ginkgo
#

So once I reach lvl 80 I should just do Hunting?

white ether
#

If I play dark knight do I have to start from level 1?

leaden ginkgo
#

Nope 30

frigid isle
#

Can I have multiple professions,as in: carpenter,leatherworker etc.?

twilit arch
#

it depends on what your goal is @leaden ginkgo

simple shore
#

Quick if you dont need something specific. Hunting if you do. More or less.

twilit arch
#

basically yeah ^

simple shore
#

Quick can bring back alot of rare shit

halcyon glen
#

like, really rare shit

mossy wadi
#

.uh.... it went away. said it was pinging and its gone..?

halcyon glen
#

@frigid isle yes

twilit arch
#

but keep in mind quick ventures can also just bring you back shitty fish

simple shore
#

Hahaha

leaden ginkgo
#

Wat

halcyon glen
#

You may have all jobs on one character

simple shore
#

I'm remembering an old webcomic about this topic....

frigid isle
#

So I should pick all the starting "So you want to be..." quests right?

halcyon glen
#

I mean if you want

twilit arch
#

quick ventures are random in what they can bring back, and as you get higher in level and ilvl the pool gets bigger

halcyon glen
#

Know that the weapons can clog your inventory tho

twilit arch
#

You can get things like nidhogg scale, or you can a bunch of fish

halcyon glen
#

as I discovered very unceremoniously

frigid isle
#

Having exclamation marks on the map triggers mexqcSmash

halcyon glen
#

oh you're gonna hate this game

open coral
#

@frigid isle The best way to do it is to only pick up the "So You Want to Be A ___" quest for the job(s) that you're interested in leveling right now.

#

You'll learn to tune out the ones that you aren't interested in starting yet.

halcyon glen
#

With the exception of the crafters/gatherers

#

as it's recommended to do them ALL at once

#

except like fishing cause no one cares about fish

open coral
#

^

mossy wadi
#

I dont get it.... I tried to get a ping twice ....

simple shore
#

Did you manually open a command prompt

#

and then AFTERWARDS put in the ping command?

frigid isle
#

@open coral Thank you. @halcyon glen That's one of the reasons I get bruned within the first 10 hour of every game cause I do every single questresidentsleeper

open coral
#

Fisher and Culinarian are both basically independent. The rest of the DoH/DoL are pretty much wrapped up in one another.

halcyon glen
#

yeah so welcome to xiv

#

don't, uh, do that

agile laurel
#

@frigid cedar Garlandtools says Bravura, and the full Fighter's set

#

oh whoops my chat just scrolled

#

sorry

halcyon glen
#

msqDo these

#

bluequest do these sometimes

#

everything else is safe to ignore

mossy wadi
#

yes. I did windows + R and it did something

frigid isle
#

Ok,good to know ty

mossy wadi
#

i told ti go ping.

simple shore
#

.....

#

You literally skipped the middle of my instructions

vivid thorn
#

how often do people get panic attacks over the MSQ?

mossy wadi
#

it repeated the same message a bunch of times.....

open coral
#

Like, full blown actual panic attacks? Not... often?

mossy wadi
#

oh?

#

let me check what i told it to do

simple shore
#

Window-R. type in CMD and hit enter. This should bring up the command prompt. in the command prompt box type the command i gave you originally

patent citrus
#

what cause the panic attack haha

mossy wadi
#

ping -n 100 204.2.229.10

#

oh.... CMD

#

my bad 😄

open coral
vivid thorn
#

also, Broil vs Ruin: when to use each of these?

open coral
#

Broil and Ruin share the same spell slot iirc.

halcyon glen
#

Once you have Broil it should replace Ruin I iirc?

open coral
#

Use them when you have them.

halcyon glen
#

Ruin II, on the other hand, should be used when you need to move

twilit arch
#

ruin 1 eventually gets replaced by broil. if you're talking ruin 2, then you use ruin 2 for movement/weaving

#

broil is your main filler spell

frigid isle
#

Does anyone know where the starting quest line for fishing is?kkona

halcyon glen
#

limsaaaa

open coral
#

At the Fisherman's Guild in Limsa Lominsa.

#

Lower decks.

simple shore
#

@mossy wadi That looks fine to me. So its not a connection issue to the DC.

frigid isle
#

Gon' get mah family sum dinner

mossy wadi
#

okay then

proven wadi
#

Is there a list of unlockable raids and their locations to start the unlocking thereof? never unlocked any of them because I didn't know they were a thing, depriving me a roulette D:

open coral
#

Alliance raids, or Normal raids?

proven wadi
#

Normal

halcyon glen
#

Ruin II has no cast time and thus you can safely throw it out while you're running around or you can use it to "weave" your abilities that are off the global cooldown - your Aetherflow stuff

#

@vivid thorn

open coral
halcyon glen
#

Your first Normal Raid should be Alexander

#

which starts at level 60 in Idyllshire

open coral
#

You can ignore the Binding Coil of Bahamut. Those aren't in roulette.

simple shore
#

So that leaves something else interfering with your connection. TL;DR - reboot your PC as a standard "yeah you've heard it before but it does get rid of alot of stupid problems" option and see if its still doing that after. Could be any number of issues at this point and best to eliminate the vast swath by doing that.

mossy wadi
#

I'm pretty sure I remembered to turn off the gaem on PS4 before I told it to go into rest mode....

half kraken
#

What food should a gnb be eating before a copied factory run?

open coral
#

Double check that too.

#

@half kraken Doesn't matter. CF isn't food-required content.

half kraken
#

Anything that'll help? Since I'll MT

#

Or is it not noticeable

simple shore
#

eating food for CF would be.....a meme

open coral
#

For CF, not noticeable, tbh

half kraken
#

Ok thanks

simple shore
#

Like, i'd actually mock someone for doing it as tryharding

#

lol

half kraken
#

What raids do people eat food for then?

twilit arch
#

savage and ultimate

open coral
#

Food is for one of two things - either for the 3% xp buff, or for Savage progression

simple shore
#

Savage/Ult

half kraken
#

Ohh ok

mossy wadi
#

i'll just take my kb and mouse from my desktop and plug em into the PS4 I guess 😄

jolly sorrel
#

Same question, how big is food? Is it like, a few DPS extra and it's just squeezing?

simple shore
#

.....that varies

jolly sorrel
#

Or is savage without food a real bad idea?

little swift
#

its less about the dps increase sometimes and more about the padding the extra HP gives you

simple shore
#

Some jobs BIS is specifically set up that they hit their SkS/SpS tier based on food.

tulip plover
#

When is the first time your encounter a tank buster?

simple shore
#

So it can make a significant difference

jolly sorrel
#

I know titan HM has a tank buster, I don't know if it's the first

simple shore
#

Tanks are a pretty good example of this

signal garnet
#

Is sky builders spring water rare to find? Im in providence point and I can't find any nodes.

raw solstice
#

it's usually not a super significant thing but since unlike pots it lasts for 30m (which can be longer with FC or squadron buffs) it's generally just good practice to have food up for savage. And yeah, it can help hit certain speed tiers for various jobs

#

when you keep in mind the duration the cost is pretty minimal, even if you just straight up buy from mb

simple shore
#

All the tanks use SkS food as part of their BIS. Missing that last hit in your Blood Weapon on DRK, for example, feels real bad.

jolly sorrel
#

Hmkay, so it's not like not using food is the equivalent of missing a ring or something

clever cave
#

10%hp alone is very good

raw solstice
#

it can be a pretty big deal early on in a tier

little swift
#

not all tanks you can run a perfectly fine WAR set without using sausages, using cabbage instead

simple shore
#

WAR is weird. Go away WAR mains.

#

lol

gloomy ice
#

@signal garnet Sounds like you’re looking for the grade 1 stuff. That doesn’t exist anymore. All Skybuilder’s items are gathered in Diadem now.

halcyon glen
#

even GNB has some cabbage sets

#

per the balance

simple shore
#

GNB/DRK/PLD can all be played with the same setups. WAR's like gotta go fast and have gear that doesnt work right for everyone else

#

lol

little swift
#

cabbage is like the generic food that you can't really go wrong with

signal garnet
#

Ah ok. Looking to start leveling miner so I was gonna start doing some ishgard quests

jolly sorrel
#

And them potions, how significant are those? Usable outside savage content?

signal garnet
#

also gotta get that 2.36 recast :^)

gloomy ice
#

Right right. Just start in Diadem and grab what you can. Then don’t forget to get the stuff appraised for score.

simple shore
#

"Usable"? Sure. Wasteful though.

jolly sorrel
#

Not cheap then?

raw solstice
#

they add a bit but it's usually not like make or break. Early prog if you're just barely pushing past dps checks. Or when you're trying to get a good parse

simple shore
#

Nobody is gonna use a stat pot outside of savage/ult except for the parses/memes

raw solstice
#

they're not too expensive but since you end up using more than one per run they eat up gil a lot faster than food

#

and outside of like, a static environment where they might not be lining up buffs as well, you're not going to get as much out of a pot either

jolly sorrel
#

I can imagine just chugging potions from two expansions ago during leveling or something

twilit arch
#

even thats not really worth

obsidian patio
#

@white ether DRK starts at 30

simple shore
#

Its pretty much "i want to get that 99+ parse on this random not-savage/ult fight" material

jolly sorrel
#

Hmkay, so the function of potions really ties in with raid buff alignments and isn't too interesting on its own

twilit arch
#

pretty much yes

simple shore
#

Pretty much

jolly sorrel
#

And food is just a but a cute buff at any level, cept for that it can be used to barely hit a next skill tier

left moth
#

alternatively it's for a extra swoll personal dps burst (which in 95% of content is completely meaningless since once you're at the personal skill level to really need pots for more dps you'll probably be ready to learn ex or savage content)

simple shore
#

Well, food gives a not-insignificant HP bonus too. You should always eat food in savage/ult. SkS/SpS tier is also a factor, on top of the other secondaries you might get. But outside of savage/ult, the only real use for food on combat jobs is the exp bonus. Which is what Boiled Egg exists for.

raw solstice
#

for food I'd consider it as a "if you're doing savage/ultimate you should have that, there's not really a reason not to" but outside of that it's pretty whatever

#

like I mentioned, early on in the tier when you don't have as much gear, that bit of extra HP by itself can already be a pretty significant deal, even if the stats themselves aren't huge

left moth
#

(food) or take an otherwise lethal hit X| (cough, eggnog ex synced run where I ate aoe + tether with maybe 800 hp to spare)

halcyon glen
#

If you're doing savage/ultimate absolutely have food

raw solstice
#

later on when you get more gear it's less of a big deal but it's still something that's relatively cheap and easy to have up, so you really should

halcyon glen
#

If you're below level 80 also have food

#

because free exp

left moth
#

^

simple shore
#

Yeah, but if you're below 80, which food is irrelevant

halcyon glen
#

yes

simple shore
#

hence Boiled Eggs

halcyon glen
#

I suggest rasins

jolly sorrel
#

This is begging the question though

#

All those hundreds of cul recipes

#

Useless?

simple shore
#

Mostly yes

halcyon glen
#

I mean... yes

jolly sorrel
#

Ouch

left moth
#

I also do boiled eggs because it's the cheapest thing for helping spawn bronies (central thanlan)
