How much are demicrystals for?
low swallow
sounds good thank you so much i appreciate all the help this game is so huge whenever i think im ready it feels like im not
but thats unnecessary effort
@little swift
little swift
i think taking it in small steps is the way to go
normal modes > extremes > savage > ultimate
thats how i would have approached it
or how i am currently approaching it

Demicrystal - 25 poetic sells for 500gil
clever cave
Ye good buy when youre lazy
warped nest
Market price for what?
simple shore
it vendors for 500gil
leaden ginkgo
Yeah ikik
warped nest
I don't think it is tradable on the player market though
leaden ginkgo
Some people are crazy enough to do so
warped nest
People only buy those if they need to transfer? But I dunno if such limitations still exist
little swift
it sells for a tad more on the marketboard since its also a crafting material
leaden ginkgo
How?
warped nest
Doman enclave do need you to do the weekly stuff to rank up
And eventually hit the 200% bonus
simple shore
Yes. It takes a long time to level up the enclave
Not alot of effort
Just alot of real time since you're gated weekly
clever cave
Ya i usually just give 25 silver pieces a week
(You vendor stuff to rebuild the zone)
simple shore
But its pretty much free money every week for about 2 minutes of effort
And expands to a pretty significant amount of free gil for basically doing nothing
warped nest
Your 2000 Poetic worth of demicrystal can fulfill two weeks worth of Doman donation and become 80k
If you don't have demicrystal
Just donate stuff like dungeon gears
simple shore
I mostly complete it using Clear Demi's from desynth. Fill in the gaps a bit with random allagan pieces, etc.
simple shore
Yes
ACT is a DPS parsing "addon", but its actually a third party program that you run seperately.
remote lintel
though not mandatory at all
oblique forum
mainly just curious on my best rotations and such
remote lintel
as long as you dont talk to people about it in game then youre free to use it
simple shore
TL;DR - they arent allowed by the ToS, but SE also cant tell if you're using one - unless you say something in game that would indicate that you are. So even though its a 'grey area' they're perfectly fine to use as long as you never discuss in game.
remote lintel
unless you trust them not to report you
oblique forum
oh sweet
simple shore
Honestly just never discuss in-game. If you're going to discuss, do it on out-of-game channels.
oblique forum
TomRichter is the official github repo?
simple shore
If you're on the site i think you are....
That's an excellent set of instructions on setting it up
So just follow that from top to bottom
simple shore
There's a couple sections that are outdated, but it will make sense when you see those.

Anyone know what this dank af armor set is called?

leaden ginkgo
Ahhhh fuck, thanks anyway
spice zinc
If hypothetically one were a lowly level 17 and looking to very quickly make about 18000 Gil, are there any lucrative options they could pursue?
simple shore
At 17? Not really. Your options are pretty limited.
spice zinc
Dang, I sorta figured š
jade quartz
Could try taking up some mining or botany, or simply do some more MSQ
simple shore
Like, anything that you would go try to do would likely be worse than just doing more MSQ
clever cave
What do you need 180k for?
jade quartz
I would advise against spending money early though
clever cave
Oh wait 18k
jade quartz
Later on, sums like 18K will be nothing to you as youāll get more than that from daily dungeons etc. without even trying
But at low levels if you go about buying gear and stuff you may find yourself without teleportation funds
warped nest
Serious question though, why you need 18k?

How difficult is BLM compared to RDM?

unlock the Alex raids for 1200 poetics first time bonus
spice zinc
Itās very silly, but-
Long story short I just started playing the game with someone who I havenāt been able to go on irl dates with because of the whole covid thing, Iāve been having a lot of fun and appreciate them helping me run through everything and help me get into the game, so I wanted to surprise them with a planned in-game date, but early game lancer gear looks awful, like so so terrible, so I was trawling the market for cheap nice casual clothes, and though I found some in my price range that work, I ended up really loving one thatāll run me about 24k total
It sounds like it would be best if I put the plan on hold until Iām further into the MSQ though!
tulip plover
And i dont think upgrading shire gear is neccessary
warped nest
If you already have a few shire pieces, you can just progress your MSQ for the time being
jade quartz
Upgrading Shire gear is worth it if you have extra poetics building up to spare
warped nest
And earn poetics on the side
tulip plover
Ah ok
jade quartz
But not something you should worry about grinding especially for
spice zinc
Oh gosh that would be really nice- let me run back to a board and find the name for it, thank you so much!

clever cave
Costa del sol š„
spice zinc
Ah, dang, but good to know!
jade quartz
@plain python you get access to two retainers (item bank NPCs with 175 slots each) and chocobo saddlebag (70 slots)
slate arrow
I think costa is in the level 30-35 range so keep grinding the MSQ until you get there
tulip plover
Does lvl 70 gear use poetics too?
slate arrow
yes
jade quartz
Plus the glamour dresser for gear only (400 slots)
slate arrow
@spice zinc by the way, have you unlocked the glamour system yet?
tulip plover
Is there a way to increase inventory
spice zinc
I think Iām close, the person Iām playing with mentioned that I think
jade quartz
The three things I just mentioned provide a lot of extra inventory space
slate arrow
might as well do that right now then
jade quartz
You canāt increase the size of your actual inventory.
You can hire additional retainers past the default 2 for a monthly fee (real cash)

this might be a vague question, but what is the best way to go about making gil?
jade quartz
Popular casual gil-making methods are gathering and treasure map dungeons.
The highest profits require some economic instinct
What Industrial said.

Jfc getting to ishgard was painful
I can see why it's being condensed
Is the only way to get jet black dye mogstore?
warped nest
In game
slate arrow
no
warped nest
There is a general purpose jet black
slate arrow
you can also buy it off the marketboard or from quick ventures
warped nest
Dyes the same way
spice zinc
Alright, so if Iām understanding right- adding these clothes to the glamour dresser would be the best move, because then I could apply it to various armours as I level up?
warped nest
Yes
slate arrow
for free, yes
spice zinc
Nice! Alright
leaden ginkgo
I looked up, soot black was on the market board but jet black was not

General purpose jet black

it's under General Purpose Jet Black Dye
slate arrow
general purpose jet black
leaden ginkgo
Is it just rare? I heard someone say you can get it from potd 101+
jade quartz
@leaden ginkgo you should tick āpartial search matchā on the marketboard
proud willow
to differentiate it from the nontradeable Jet Black Dye from mogstation
warped nest
It will probably cost 6 digit
jade quartz
Or similarly named
leaden ginkgo
So what is the diff between mogstation and general purpose versions?
jade quartz
Right under the search bar
leaden ginkgo
Cool I'll do that ty
slate arrow
mogstation is untradeable
jade quartz
General purpose is tradable
warped nest
Mogstation version you cannot sell or buy from other players

That's th only diff?

Yes

Iād played a trial years ago but alone, so when they mentioned theyāve been playing this a ton I thought it would be fun to jump in, and itās been great so far
And the community seems so wonderful š
warped nest
Tenka Goken is an AOE
slate arrow
you're just using up your stickers for big buff AoE
jade quartz
Your two AoE combos give two of the sens
cloud lake
in order to get to that move I need 2 of those things up

your AoE combos grant 1 sticker each

Btw, you need to save some kenki so you can use Hissatsu Kaiten to buff your Higanbana, Tenka Goken, and Midare Setsugekka
Don't blow your kenki with kyuten or Shinten and have none left for Kaiten
bronze knot
does anyone know how many achievement points are needed to get a certificate for the exhange?
jade quartz
About 50
leaden ginkgo
do people normally compete during fates?
warped nest
The math works out that you should always spend Kenki to use on Hissatsu Kaiten to buff your Iaijutsu (Higanbana, Tenka Goken, Midare Setsugekka)
leaden ginkgo
or how does the reward system work?
jade quartz
Yeah itās 50
bronze knot
I have close to 400 and the guy wont give me any certificates
warped nest
It works by rolling a dice
jade quartz
Theyāre not an item in your inventory
Theyāre a currency visible in the achievement rewards menu
fringe bone
here i go again Hey guys/girls im a new player from europe im on the Light data server. Im a lonely heartbroken weeb(means i like anime) im spending my lonely ass days doing nothing so i thought i could play this game if there is anyone willing to help me out and maybe be my mentor in this game and teach me stuff maybe be my first friend in the process lol would be amazing if your still reading thanks 
bronze knot
I'm checking in my achievements tab and it says I have 395 points. currency I have 4
jade quartz
Your achievement points are not spent to exchange for tickets
You must have already spent some tickets
twilit arch
did you talk to jonathas
bronze knot
I did yeah
I remember spending 3 very early on. so now I've been saving them but it doesnt seem like im earning at all
warped nest
@leaden ginkgo There are 3 options when you roll for loot:
Need for job specific items, only the correct job can pick this. For general item, everyone can do this
Greed everyone can do it, unless the loot is weekly limited or you cannot have duplicate
Pass just pass up the loot
When you pick need or greed the game roll a number between 1-99.
Need always beat Greed, and large number beat small number.
jade quartz
E.g. If I have 250 achievement points, then speaking to Jonathas for the first time will give me five tickets. I can then spend those tickets, but I will still have 250 achievement points
Then if I get another 50 achievement points
warped nest
Achievement point are basically your lifetime score
bronze knot
oh I see. those are total I've gained over time
jade quartz
I will have a total of 300 achievement points and 1 ticket
bronze knot
gotcha. didnt realize those were lifetime points
leaden ginkgo
@warped nest I meant the rewards from FATEs
bronze knot
thanks everyone for clarifying
leaden ginkgo
if I just save achievement points, can I just speak with the NPC and redeem them all?
jade quartz
You unlock the bicolour gemstone vendor in that zone
The Il Mheg one is in Lydha Lran, itās a little blue/purple icon on the map
zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
They will sell the riding map to increase mount speed in that zone, plus some mob materials and usually an orchestrion roll
leaden ginkgo
ah yes, I've seen the vendors
little swift
66 fates total per area

If you do a further 60 FATEs in that zone youāll unlock the expanded vendor stuff

Is it fine if I remove "King's Yield I" if I have Pick Clean?

So Kingās Yield stops seeing much use

You get decent sized yields if you kings yield2 and pick clean
leaden ginkgo
I dont have the GP for that š
jade quartz
For timed nodes itās worth it
Not for spamming regular nodes obviously due to gp regen time
leaden ginkgo
Yeah ofc
stable herald
Hmmm... I'm sorta relearning DRG, currently 70.. is it just
- Do buff rotation x1
- Do DPS rotation x2
- Repeat step 1
- Throw jumps, Geirskogur etc in between whenever up
Jump, dive, basically throw everything that's up, when it's up?
jade quartz
Not quite
Should do Chaos Thrust Combo x1 and Full Thrust Combo x1
Then back to Chaos Thrust Combo
So basically you have a repeating 10-button rotation for your GCDs.
This ensures constant disembowel and chaos thrust DoT uptime
@stable herald
Ah well at your level it will only be an 8-button rotation
stable herald
Good lord there are more buttons?!
but yeah, there are times I see like.. 9 seconds left on disembowel, i wasnt sure if it was worth it to do a Full Thrust combo ?
jade quartz
At level 76 you get a trait that makes Wheeling Thrust Combo into Fang and Claw
stable herald
i see
stable herald
i see
alright
But otherwise, how about the jump/dives?
im assuming Jump and Mirage and Geirsko should always be on CD?
jade quartz
Pretty much
stable herald
Cool beans. Thanks
leaden ginkgo
do I just shout on chat if I see an A rank mark?
stable herald
I was worried that DRG would be very complicated
jade quartz
Though remember you can delay mirage dive a bit without spoiling alignment
leaden ginkgo
Is there anything others suit beside wedding, best man, and butler?
stable herald
oh? Why should I?
jade quartz
Because itās going off jump cooldown rather than a cooldown of its own
jade quartz
The next mirage dive wonāt be delayed
@leaden ginkgo yeah. If youāre not sure what rank it is then just shout the name
Novice Network or your FC may appreciate it too
Someone in those is likely part of a hunt tracking discord or something.
leaden ginkgo
it's an A rank elite
jade quartz
@leaden ginkgo those are the most obvious āsuitsā but people in #glamour-discussion may be able to recommend some other things along those lines
little swift
Depends on the expansion the a rank is from
Trains for sb and shb aranks still happen often
leaden ginkgo
shadowbringers
little swift
You can shout that out but I'm sure scouters are already looking for it for their train
leaden ginkgo
yeah, some peeps appeared on their flying mounts
jade quartz
If itās an ARR or HW area one and youāre significantly higher-level, then no oneās gonna be upset if you just kill it solo
little swift
S ranks though, do shout those
leaden ginkgo
I can't solo shadowbringers
little swift
No you cannot
It will destroy you
It would be a super long fight with just 8 people too
leaden ginkgo
even though a lot of people were attacking it, the mob just came to me and ripped me to pieces
probably tank without stance up
proven bay
How do you see if something is an A rank hunt or S rank hunt or whatever?
little swift
Its one of the few max level mobs in the area
A and S ranks also have the aggressive mob markers
And unique names
jade quartz
S ranks tend to be much larger and have more unique-looking models.
They also prompt a message to appear in the chat when youāre in the same zone as them
āYou sense the presence of a powerful markā
limpid lantern
Fate bosses also count as hunts ?
proven bay
I see. Do they despawn?
jade quartz
No
little swift
No woop
jade quartz
No to both
limpid lantern
Alright :)
little swift
They do have a respawn time though
proven bay
OH
little swift
About 4 to 6 hours for an a rank
jade quartz
Youāll seldom find an S rank in the wild that hasnāt been noticed by anyone else.
proven bay
So if someone kills them they need some time to respawn
little swift
And s ranks have spawn conditions too
jade quartz
Hunting groups deliberately spawn S ranks by fulfilling certain conditions unique to each one
little swift
B ranks usually respawn about 5 seconds after death on a different part of the map
jade quartz
So if you find an aggressive hunt mark in the wild, and people arenāt already flocking to kill it before your eyes, and you donāt sense the presence of a powerful mark
Thatās gunna be an A rank.
leaden ginkgo
yeah, it''s an A
little swift
O poorest pauldia is a rough one
leaden ginkgo
indeed
little swift
Lots of non orange telegraphed attacks
little swift
Its not really a solo party thing
Easier to zerg it down
Otherwise you're looking its mechanics for about 10 minutes
leaden ginkgo
I think those groups would stand a chance with a healer, but I saw no healrs so far
little swift
Healers definitely help
proven bay
What are the differences between S, A, and B rank mobs? Can you solo some of them?

Bs yes

B ranks are soloable

Bs wont give you anything unless you have a contract you picked up previously

I found a Mind Flayer last weekend at the black shroud
gave people a shout since I wasn't high enough to fight
I got the "you sense a mark nearby" text
little swift
He dies really quick
leaden ginkgo
Does everybody gets a chance for loot?
I've always believed you get higher drop rate if you do more damage to a mark, but I don't know if that's true
quasi widget
its based on how much threat you/your party generated
so if you only hit the monster once you wont get much
jade quartz
That particular one in Central Shroud is one of the few that doesnāt require player input to spawn so can sometimes be found on its own
Its spawn conditions are just based on the zone weather.

Is there any reason to do the beast tribe storylines? I mean other than the exp from their quests.
And what patch are we on now?
faint flare
Some of them are nice and occasionally silly
They also give minions, mounts and occasionally emotes and glamour
We're patch 5.2, 5.3 is on the 11th

@slate crow Glamour, minions, the occasional mount, and of course the story.
It also unlocks materials you can buy for Gil instead of collecting, and dyes.
And we're 5.2
5.3 is dropping Tuesday
slate crow
Iām farthest in the Sylphs. 452/510. Not sure if itās the last round or not.
gritty oracle
I especially recommend the ananta beast tribe in Stormblood. There's a couple quest long chain to unlock it, two days of questing and you can buy nail polish glam.
What's your reputation level with them? Recognized, Trusted etc
gritty oracle
I love sylphs myself btw! The story is kinda cool and I love how sylphs speak.
gritty oracle
That's uuuugh friendly and up?
(btw small protip stock up on sylphic silk and sell it for like 5k ea on the MB, people will pay stupid money for it.)
According to consolegameswiki you're on Friendly.
slate crow
Is it the penultimate one?
gritty oracle
Nope
Once you hit 510, you'll rank up to Trusted. That's the first max rank. To attain the true max rank, Allied, you gotta level all ARR beast tribes to Trusted and then do a questline.
I think ixals might have additional ranks.
slate crow
So, Trusted is the last for the individual tribes.
slate crow
Thank Arceus. The storylines are so dang tedious to get.
gritty oracle
I still recommend you do the ananta for the 6 dreamstaff. You can ditch them once you have your false nails.

ixal is the same but you get a new quest giver every rank

What dps classes offer good utility to the group? Beyond bard and dancer
vivid wolf
Dragoon has battle litany
wintry chasm
red mage I guess because it can raise faster than anything else but it really doesn't want to do that if it can avoid it because it's lost DPS
also has a party wide buff
vivid wolf
A dps should focus on dps tbf
And the extra buffs are a nice addition
Like a dragoon should focus on maximising dps, while using litany

dps use their buffs to do their dps, the fact their buffs buff everyone else is collateral
rotations are designed to work together, know yours and do it properly and the 'buffing the party' bit will just fall in line

I wish there was a class kinda like astro/whm that does dps
But without the long casting times of blm
Like fast hitting low attacks

SMN pets give any enmity they generate directly to the SMN. They're functionally "DoT's and Procs that sometimes get confused and misfire"
twin tree
What are the most complex classes to play?
simple shore
SMN probably
for DPS, anyway
For heals, AST
Tank i'd say GNB just due to the number of buttons

samurai and black mage look complex til you know what you're doing and then you can just press the correct buttons in the correct order with no love or regard for why
frosty badger
is it a must to have completed anemos gear to upgrade in later eureka regions?
icy quiver
Is the classes in the game simillar to each other? I have war 80 and changed to GNB, and it has very similiar idea
2 AOE skills, combo skill and so so
simple shore
Like, if you've played one tank, you're going to recognize similar design decisions on all the tanks
icy quiver
and dps classes? there is a lot
simple shore
Basically
simple shore
All the roles (Melee, Ranged Physical, Ranged Caster, Healer, Tank) each have sort of a....core design that tends to be repeated for their more basic stuff
vivid wolf
Like monk needing positionals
simple shore
So like
All melee have combo chains. That's just a thing.
Its what you do outside of just pressing those combo chains which is different
icy quiver
it doesnt make the classes feel more boring?
simple shore
Not at all
vivid wolf
They all have something unique
Dragoon has huge combos, monk has positionals, dancer has a partner system
simple shore
Like, i would never say that "Playing Ninja feels the same as playing Dragoon, because they both have combo chains"
icy quiver
When they start feel more unuiqe? at max level?
vivid wolf
Some classes have a priority system instead of a rotation
Eh
Around 50 the real differences shine
simple shore
Probably in the 40-50 region is when they start to diverge alot more.
vivid wolf
But you'll notice it as early as 30
vivid wolf
Heck even white mage feels as dps during lvl 15 dungeons
Sub lvl 30 you have like 5 abils or so
simple shore
The higher you get, the more "unique to this job" mechanics and abilities get added
vivid wolf
I think it's 52 where they get their "unique" counter
Like blood of the dragon for dragoon
Or kenki for sam
And then abilities will be based around that
frosty badger
@green grail even for weapons?
green grail
no, weapons are upgraded from previous step each time, as relics tend to do
the armor is different
vivid wolf
Zodiac is a type of relic
simple shore
Relic refers to any of the expansions chains. Zodiac is specifically the ARR chain.
zinc dagger
heya, I wanted to get into ff14 after looking at it for a while now.
I already did the free trial and now I wanna buy the starter edition, but for steam or the other launcher?
frosty badger
then what do achievements have a separate page for Relic Weapons and Zodiac Weapons when they're the same?
simple shore
That's...a different subject
zinc dagger

If you buy through steam, you need to buy expansions through steam too

Lanor: crafting is faster but have to macro it and have mats. Gathering is slower but basically free (especially in crystal use)
median locust
From the ones that you can start with, Lancer or Archer
nova umbra
so.. anyone know what to spend my yellow crafter scrips on if I have all recipes?
median locust
Red Mage and Dancer are the easiest DPS jobs at level cap but you can't unlock them unless you own the expacs and get to level 50 or 60 respectively
left moth
Zydico: Materia, music, and the odd barding
nova umbra
is that the raincoat?
left moth
Yeah at rhgars reach iirc
nova umbra
the IV materia are best value right?
median locust
@fair grail Shire weapon and gear will last you till around the lv65 dungeon, as long as you upgrade it as well. It's the best lv60 gear there is
fair grail
ok, sounds good
left moth
It depends on how you antisipate overmelding in the 5.3 set. 8s and 6s will be priority for first slot (since some people are cheap for the latter) while 5s and 4s are good filler when capping stats (since 7s are way overpriced scrip wise for the effect as overmeld)
zinc dagger
is there a way to throttle my download speed inside the launcher?
gritty oracle
@zinc dagger I think you can limit download speed in the task manager.
zinc dagger
I'll try that
jolly sorrel
I tried switching to noct for a run, grinding the level 67 dungeon for exp
and it just went terrible, switched back to diurnal right away. I know diurnal is "better", if I want to play noct for flavour is it a matter of getting used to it and using different timings or whatnot?
Or is it just not viable and will I drain all my MP hardcasting shields?
agile laurel
shields are intrinsically a bit less value, and the mp cost
limpid lantern
Whats the difference between noct earing and gloam earrings ?
agile laurel
you can do it, but it requires a notable amount of rethink and it's just a bit harder, which is not what astro really wants considering it sucks for MP enough as is
median locust
It's a little different, you have to apply shields before damage is done, you can't just apply regens after
jolly sorrel
Leveling on diurnal I have zero MP issues, so I figured I'd manage in noct
agile laurel
stay as-was then tbqh
if you can play diurnal well, you have no reason to play noct
mostly
jolly sorrel
Well, I -enjoy- noct š¦ that's the thing. And the problem
agile laurel
oo. oh well
jolly sorrel
When a tank is pulling big, I precast shields, but when the mobs break the shields it feels like my literal -only- option is to just spam benefic 2/asp or else.
median locust
@limpid lantern One is part of a tank set, one is part of a melee DPS set. I can see they're identical though so use whichever one.
jolly sorrel
With regens I feel like I have more space to dps and more safety to do so
limpid lantern
Alright ^^
jolly sorrel
But I want to play by shielding š¦ I'm just looking for some confirmation that its at least viable
median locust
iirc Noct. Asp. Benefic costs a lot of mana
and that's usually where all the MP goes
I had a bad habit of using it a lot before I knew it cost... I think it's 900 mp
jolly sorrel
I guess as a diurnal I also have to spam benefic to keep up once the regen oGCDs are expired. Perhaps I'm just misreading
median locust
might have to check cause I can't find the noct version online
jolly sorrel
Yeah, 900
median locust
Diurnal Asp. Benefic only costs 500 so it's more spammable
jolly sorrel
Well I guess its not really spammable since you only get value from it once every 15 seconds
median locust
yeah I meant, keeping it up all the time
timber cipher
hello :) i have one more question. i found a little body to practice my rotation in a garden next to my house. can i get one for my house aswell?

How do I get the FPS cap to work? Still going over the cap that I set in the system settings
median locust
There are no striking dummies for inside houses, just outside
timber cipher
oh i meant that! for my garden haha
jolly sorrel
You can buy striking dummies for in your own garden š
median locust
ahh, some are craftable, some can be bought with Hunt currency
Centurio Seals or Sacks of Nuts
timber cipher
ooh thanks, thats what theyre called. i will look into that ā„
median locust
@jolly sorrel I'd also try to make use of Collective Unconscious if you aren't using it already. Hitting the tank with it, even if you cancel it immediately, is 20 seconds of 10% less damage taken for everyone in the bubble
*Note: In Noct only. In Diurnal it's a 15s regen
you just press it then immediately go back to DPSing/healing
jolly sorrel
I will try that, thanks
young fjord
@rose tree Have you vsync enable?
rose tree
No
young fjord
Or have it set so your monitor refresh rate = fps and not acutall in game
rose tree
I want to cap it lower than my Hz
young fjord
Stupid question, but did you hit "Apply" after changing it
rose tree
Yes, I did. Tried setting max fps through Nvidia Control panel and through MSI Afterburner (and through game System Settings) and neither works.

@young fjord Ah, got it working, I set V-sync to half refresh rate and somehow that worked. Thanks, wouldn't have thought about just using V-sync 
Usually just always ignore and turn off v-sync
young fjord
jolly sorrel
Ignoring adlo works, it seems. The CO tap also worked, I thought that as noct it'd be more interesting to keep the regen ticking
But that puts me out of the fight for so long
median locust
You can just move and cancel it
jolly sorrel
While a 20 second lasting -10% damage AoE is pretty hefty on its own already, on a 60 second cooldown
yes please
median locust
the buff will stay
static yacht
Re: scholar is unique in that
Their shield ability is also their primary heal ability
With noct you only want to be applying aspected bene pre pull
And switch to bene II for healing
/ ogcd healing
young fjord
Noct sect is pretty meme currently
static yacht
Honestly pre 78 its severely handicapped to heal on noct
Cause you dont have 2 charges of essential dig
jolly sorrel
I had the earlier experience of just hardcasting bene 2 after bene 2, but it feels like the benes pack more punch on noct
gritty oracle
AST is getting a new mana skill though, so maybe it'll have more mana. Noct has always been very high mana cost
young fjord
New skill confirmed? I thought they was only chaning mana values
static yacht
The reason you hard cast bene II is purely to throw a gravity cause it has higher potency
If you are using bene I make sure they have synestry on
median locust
they're adding mana regen to other skills, not an entirerly new skill
gritty oracle
They said they'll move the mana thing off is Lightspeed
faint flare
Move the mana off LS and put elsewhere
young fjord
Imagine if they could pull a card which gave mana 
/s
faint flare
They probably will
static yacht
They havent confirmed what they are doing ^ thT might be it
faint flare
Its one of the highest suggestions
median locust
+1 insentive to use cards for the ASTs that ignore cards because "giving damage ain't my jerb"
zinc orbitBOT
jolly sorrel
Oh, they removed the part where nocturnal increases potency?
I remember that was a thing
simple shore
idk, that feels like a nerf to AST if its a card that gives mana
jolly sorrel
I imagine every card restores X mana or something
simple shore
Sure, they have a 1/7 chance of getting mana back now. They also now have a 1/7 chance to screw up damage windows.
median locust
Think they mean a little mana on every card yeah
jolly sorrel
What if they do something complex like minor arcana recovering a large chunk of MP? You'll have the choice between Divination upkeep or high MP regen
simple shore
That seems a bit too easy. Minor arcana is sort of a core thing that gets used.
Wouldnt really be a "choice"
median locust
people will always pick divination upkeep first regardless
jolly sorrel
You could forego divination for three more shots of MP
median locust
that would be horrible lol
simple shore
And you'd instantly be bad
jolly sorrel
So if you're in MP screwage
jolly sorrel
Guess that's fair
median locust
Your solo DPS is worse because you have divination, it's part of the class
nova umbra
when the new crafting gear comes in, should you overmeld with VII materia, or cheaper ones?
simple shore
The 5.3 crafting gear is going to be the sort of thing you want to go all out on if you're in a position to do so.
That means overmeld your stats as high as humanly possible
nova umbra
wouldn't overmelding with VII be like... millions and millions of gil o.o;
simple shore
Only if you spend gil on it
nova umbra
why is it so worth?
simple shore
Because look at it this way
5.4 will almost certainly bring with it a new tier of combat crafted gear
and likely the last set of the expansion
There wont be new crafter gear to make that gear with. You'll make it using 5.3 gear
So the 5.3 gear is probably the last time that crafter gear is going to "matter" until 6.0, in terms of there being an emergent market to make money on.
So you have all of 5.3 until 5.4 comes out to get prep'd for 5.4
Then craft like crazy as soon as 5.4 drops, sell like crazy, make your money
nova umbra
so there's no point in crafting and overmelding 5.3 crafting gear immediately?
when materia prices will probably be insane
simple shore
and then after 5.4 combat gear is sort of burned out.....there wont really be any "big money" opportunities again until 6.0
when materia prices will probably be insane
@nova umbra You keep on inferring this as if you need to buy materia. That's your mistake.
Demand may drive crafter materia through the roof, but the price/acquisition process will remain unchanged
nova umbra
I've only started saving like... this week :c
