[warped nest]

They have 3 final pets, Garuda Egi, good for AOE. Ifrit Egi, good for single target

[leaden ginkgo]

Does anyone know how long the MSQ is for 5.3 roughly?

[white ether]

Shit like 80 hours?

[warped nest]

And Titan Egi, which used to be able to do some tanking... But now it is just some Dps + protection

[plain python]

ah there go my dream having a pet tank for me while I assess the situation

and drink coffee

[leaden ginkgo]

I mean, just the new quests ^^

[white ether]

Is that including the story between arr to hevansward @leaden ginkgo

[kind burrow]

uhhh i think about 6 hours if you are really taking everything in, i finished it in about 1.5h without cutscenes

[burnt bison]

I think it should take around 6ish hours

assuming you don't skip cutscenes ofc

[kind burrow]

not including duties of course

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks!

[warped nest]

Before ShB, pets uses to have HP bar, and can be targeted by enemies, so a tank pet is possible

[plain python]

skip it and watch it later in the inn

[wind raft]

hi im trying to purchase ffxiv but it results in a error does anyone know how to fix this?

[warped nest]

I had tanked a lvl 70 dungeons with another summoner, the tank left cuz RL emergency

So the two of us call up Titan Egi and tank the dungeon for a few minutes

After ShB, pets are no longer targetable, so a tank pet just won't work

[gaunt brook]

So for scrip tools / gear for crafters is it no longer possible to get Keep's gear? i was just gonna buy some level 60 ones for all my classes but i can only find augmented

[warped nest]

Augmented is upgrade version...

[granite swan]

@warped nest When do we get Garuda and Titan Egi? Once we beat them or something? I cant find their summon skill anywhere :p

[obsidian patio]

Tomestone/scrip vendors no longer sell the unupgraded versions

[warped nest]

You get them in later job quest, Maethil

[gaunt brook]

ahh damnit

i was hoping to get cheaper ones

since 60 isnt endgame anymore

[warped nest]

They will replace your Emerald and... Topaz Carbuncle

[granite swan]

Oh, maybe thats why they dont show on this list? It just lists the rest of the skills, but not them heh

[warped nest]

It is more stat, so it last you longer

[leaden ginkgo]

until when is mogstation sale again?

[gaunt brook]

just coz the fieldkeeps stuff is 625 scrips so i could only afford both slots for 1 class

[warped nest]

@granite swan yeah, you just use Summon and Summon II to call them out

They don't get a special icon like Ifrit Egi with Summon III

[kind burrow]

sorry i was mistaken, you get them at level 30 as @warped nest said, once you have the soulstone equipped the pets change to them

[slate crow]

Where’s that new quest? Thought it was in LL, but couldtg find.

[warped nest]

New quest for what?

[final shell]

Hello! I've come back to the game recently and for crafting: is daily turn ins the new best way to level? They seem to have been buffed significantly from what I remember

[warped nest]

Daily turn in is nice for quick exp

If you want to grind, it is still Leve or Ishgardian restoration

People recommend Ishgardian restoration because it cost less gils

Just need to spend time and grind

[hollow latch]

Just run through the msq and you should be there in no time
@white ether What I'm trying to do at the moment. It's what makes me hesitant to try a different class though. As I understand it, my new class (ie Rogue) would then have to be on foot until it's completed msq 20

[obsidian patio]

Crafting experience in general got a giant buff

[granite swan]

@kind burrow Def not 30, mine still pops the furries :p probly after i do each dungeon for em tho

[warped nest]

Your Emerald and topaz will upgrade later via job quests

[oak ice]

If you have to gather everything through diadem, I would say Ishgard is awful to level, both sanity and time wise

[white ether]

@hollow latch when you hit level 30 you can turn into a ninja best dps class

[slate crow]

I think it has Moon in the name or something

[warped nest]

Ifrit is the one you get at lvl 30 SMN quest

[white ether]

But like

[frosty badger]

is it worth investing in skysteel tools and resistance weapons instead of higher level alternatives?

[final shell]

Thanks @warped nest and yeah @obsidian patio , i logged in and all my hotbar actions were totally out of date!

[white ether]

Just like wow I went with tank because I don’t like long que times

[warped nest]

@oak ice you do have to acknowledge that Ishgard aren't limited by Leve quota though

[hollow latch]

I've noticed that part. But I suck at tank

[white ether]

and dumb tanks

Tanking is easy

[oak ice]

Oh, I do

[white ether]

Just go ooga booga and aggro everything in the room

[warped nest]

Can anyone help Viper out?

[hollow latch]

Lol

[warped nest]

I dunno what quest they are trying to look for

[oak ice]

New quest with Moon in the name?

[slate crow]

And I was in Costa Del Sol and saw the end of some event with a bombardier. I walked in and a huge chunk of hp was taken off.

[white ether]

Also use your silence and stun

[frosty badger]

so whats the point of these new tools when crafted versions are better?

[white ether]

Like pvp?

[oak ice]

Moonfire Faire quest starts in the Aftcastle in Limsa if that's what you're asking, Viper

[warped nest]

@frosty badger the new recipe is better

[white ether]

There’s pvp and seudo capture the flag

[gloomy mortar]

If you suck at Tank, people wont notice until about level 30. The early dungeons are easy. By that point, you should be decently good

[white ether]

Yeah

[warped nest]

But previously the scrip tool is good if you don't meld the previous tier of tools

[frosty badger]

oh so that's mostly the reason why?

[warped nest]

There are also Trials, Raids, and Alliance Raid

[slate crow]

Moonfire Faire quest starts in the Aftcastle in Limsa if that's what you're asking, Viper
@oak ice

What’s the name, do you know? I didn’t see any blue quests there except for the Marauder class.

[warped nest]

Alliance raid is a massive 24 player PvE contents

Very spectacular

[white ether]

The first time I went dps in a dungeon the tank just keept standing in the cones and aoe

[warped nest]

A lot of VFX going off

[frosty badger]

ok TY

[white ether]

I had to tank lol

Hated that shit

[warped nest]

Friendly reminder that this is a question channel...

[oak ice]

I don't think it's blue, but it's in the large circular area below the bar area on the map

Haven't done it myself so I can't say what it's called off hand

[warped nest]

Scrip tool and the previous tier of tools are alternatives, scrip tool is fine if you cannot meld the crafted tool

Now in 5.3 we have a new tier of crafted tool

[slate crow]

I’ll look tomorrow. Was about to head off when I was looking anyway.

Thanks

[warped nest]

Which will be better than scrip tool as is, but scrip tool will probably be upgradable later

And restore the balance, in a way

[karmic niche]

isnt tenacity good for tanks? why most guide said dont get it

[warped nest]

The benefit is not worthwhile

[granite swan]

@slate crow Mayaru Moyaru

[warped nest]

Compare to other stats

[karmic niche]

i see

[oak ice]

Tenacity is a good stat in theory, but the boost is so goddamn low it's just not worth to meld

3k tenacity is ~10% reduction in damage taken and increase

You miss a lot more damage from that and not having crit

[warped nest]

Might as well meld more crit/dh

[gloomy mortar]

Tenacity Materia is so cheap on the MB, I usually meld and overmeld it anyways

[slate crow]

Was the seasonal FATE part of the quest line to get the emote and stuff or just something extra?

[warped nest]

Yes

[gloomy mortar]

Level 4 Materia Crit can cost ~3k, Level 4 Tenacity costs ~100

[warped nest]

Just want to put in a reminder for other players that melding (for dow/m) before level 80 is not necessary

[gloomy mortar]

Can you replay the seasonal Breaking Bricks videos?

[slate crow]

Was that yes to me or ?

[oak ice]

Yes

[gloomy mortar]

Yes

[karmic niche]

how do i show other debuff on enemies?

on the hud i can't find it

[slate crow]

maybe

I hate when FATEs are part of quests. Takes forever for them to pop up.

[obsidian patio]

@karmic niche IIRC, that should be in UI settings of character config

You should also be able to edit the target bar UI in hud layout access it there

[granite swan]

@slate crow This one is only like 5-10 min wait

[karmic niche]

😦 i am in ui setting still can't find it. I think i am blind

[slate crow]

Sweet

[severe burrow]

Hey, i have a friend that is on cerberus, meanwhile im on the spriggan server (both Chaos datacenter), is it possible for him to join my guild or switch to spriggan?

[oak ice]

He can't join your guild unless he moves to that server

[obsidian patio]

try doing it from hud layout instead, when editing a UI element all relevant settings are included in the cog on the hud layout window

[severe burrow]

He can't join your guild unless he moves to that server
@oak ice is there a way he can move to the server?

[oak ice]

There is a server transfer for $18

[maiden tulip]

anyone else having lag spikes in cross world content?

[oak ice]

He can server hop and hang out with you, but he can't access his retainers or join guilds over there

[severe burrow]

i see

thanks for your help

[leaden ginkgo]

When it comes to Retainers ventures

What is overall the most rewarding? Quick? the 18 hours ones?

[oak ice]

Depends on what you want out of it

To level you spam the quick ventures while you're online and then the 18 hour one when you log off

After that it's mostly about if you need something specific that it can gather

[leaden ginkgo]

Well, Retainers are at max level

so its just... well, anything to use or sell

[oak ice]

Generally, specific ventures are safe gil, while quick ventures can bring in some big money makers like black and white dyes

[leaden ginkgo]

What about Fields?

[frosty badger]

is it better to always aim for max purity rating for reduction or just as high as is required?

[leaden ginkgo]

Field/Highland/The very long slow ones

[oak ice]

IIRC they have the same items as the specific ones, plus a couple that can show up in quick ventures

[obsidian patio]

field if you need specific items, highland if you want a try at the rare minions from the end ones

quick ventures if you're feeling super lucky and want to hope to get the big sellers like Pure White/Jet Black dye

[oak ice]

Purity rating works in tiers with the maximum yielding more items

[leaden ginkgo]

Highlands have pets?

Or, are the minions... kinda unrelated but can also appear there?

[oak ice]

Some 18 hour ones have minions in the pool

[tidal yarrow]

can i leave a duty? we really got 8 people me included that have no idea how to clear this normal raid

[arctic holly]

I keep getting connect to server lost error for somereason

[gritty oracle]

If I want the skyslipper mount, is my best bet practice PFs or trying to find a static?

[obsidian patio]

@tidal yarrow duty finder > leave duty

[gritty oracle]

@tidal yarrow Open duty finder and click leave

[tidal yarrow]

yes but i damn, do i get any penalty

[obsidian patio]

though i suggest trying a vote abandon first to avoid the queue penalty

[arctic holly]

When I load game

[obsidian patio]

30 minute penalty from queueing into DF/PF

though only if you're the first person to leave the party

[tidal yarrow]

holy shit

this matchmaking

it's 6 sprouts

though i suggest trying a vote abandon first to avoid the queue penalty
how does this work.

[simple pine]

is the moonfire event literally just do the fate 2x and done?

[obsidian patio]

yep

[violet star]

how many subscription days do you get when you buy the complete edition? is it 45 or 30?

[obsidian patio]

@tidal yarrow it gives the party the ability to vote on whether to abandon the duty and disbands it, giving no one a queue penalty

30 days

[simple pine]

its 30 days, but if you play on a prefered server and reach lvl 30 you get 15 extra days

[obsidian patio]

though these 30 days come from the base game license, so if you're trying to register the complete edition on a platform that already has the base game registered you won't get 30 more days

[median inlet]

Might be 5.3 spoilers but I got a question about ||Elidibus Extreme. Is it a thing and how do I unlock it?||

[oak ice]

The minstrel in Crystarium

[vivid wolf]

Where do i get the idyllshire weapons? guess i'm missing a vendor or something

[median inlet]

Thank you

[vivid wolf]

i can buy them from the new npcs for like 600 tomestones

[obsidian patio]

those are the weapons, yes.

[vivid wolf]

cant you get them with those unidentified tomestones?

[obsidian patio]

they changed it

you can no longer buy the unupgraded versions or materials needed to exchange for it

it's straight tomestones now for the upgraded version

[vivid wolf]

oof, 600 tomestones tho

[obsidian patio]

it's the exact same cost as it was before

[gloomy mortar]

I had the sound turned off when I did the cut scene with the bard that makes up a song on the spot after the WoL tells him about the battles. Was there music? Or just silent

[obsidian patio]

nah, he just plays a couple of notes

but no actual song to it

[gloomy mortar]

So you just hear a couple notes? lol

[glacial spindle]

hello good people

I am doing a quest where the guy is telling to suit myself up with lvl 5 gears

however I dont have gil

where do I find lvl 5 gears or gil to buy them?

[obsidian patio]

do sidequests for gil and gear

[glacial spindle]

in my city?

[obsidian patio]

in general

once you're past that quest the story will mostly keep you up to date on gear.

[glacial spindle]

find the people with question icon on their head right?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[glacial spindle]

thanks buy

[visual ibex]

So a while back I played this game on ps4 and I sort of lost my account and recently got back into but on pc and last week I got my ps4 account back. Is there a way to merge them?

[vivid wolf]

is coil of bahamut worth running?

and if so, at what level?

[oak ice]

1300 poetics and some nice story

[obsidian patio]

1200*, turn 3 gives no poetics

[jaunty ruin]

Is it possible for a Gladiator to be a DPS instead of Tank?

[obsidian patio]

nope

[oak ice]

Savage is 4 titles and 400 more poetics

Oh, right

[obsidian patio]

@visual ibex unfortunately no

[jaunty ruin]

I really dont wanna be a tank, I just chose Glad cuz it was the one that spoke to me xd

[simple pine]

you can job change at level 10

[visual ibex]

Ah I figured I mean I haven’t played in a while I’m assuming pc is better to role with than console?

[simple pine]

on the same character

[oak ice]

You can change at will after your level 10 class quest

[jaunty ruin]

im lvl 17 and i've just left my starting city

[obsidian patio]

ehh, in terms of actual gameplay they're the same

[simple pine]

if you do the level 10 job quest (need to do level 1 and 5 first) you can talk to any of the other job mentors and take that job as an extra one

you can pick any of the ones listed as starting level 1 on here

[final sandal]

is there an easier way to check custom deliveries progress without manually switching to the specific classes and talking to the specific npcs?

[hollow latch]

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

[visual ibex]

I mean I play it on my laptop I’m usually never on my actual pc but I have collectors editions on both accounts

[jaunty ruin]

@simple pine can I dm you so i dont clog up this chat?

[simple pine]

sure

[obsidian patio]

@final sandal go to the timers menu and check custom deliveries

that will let you look at each NPC's progress/rewards

[visual ibex]

I’m just glad I could get my fat chocobo back 😂

[ionic peak]

hi any idea where i can i get a working version of DF assist

[final sandal]

oh i meant the crystarium ones sorry

[obsidian patio]

df assist?

[kind burrow]

can you open treasure map parties on world server other than your own?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[kind burrow]

thank you

[ionic peak]

df assist?
its an overlay for queueing i think

duty finder assist

[tawdry otter]

someone know good ffxiv sites for glamour and crafting?

[obsidian patio]

never heard of it. :X

[ionic peak]

https://devunt.github.io/DFAssist/index.en

too bad this one is old and dont work anymore

[final sandal]

@obsidian patio sorry i meant the crystalline mean deliveries

[obsidian patio]

in that case you have to go to them. :\

[smoky venture]

can someone help me do dis dum quest

the bowls of embers

[brisk iron]

So I just got to level 60 and my Rage of Halone turned into Royal Authority, does that mean in lower level instances I can only ever do 1-2 attacks instead of 1-2-3?

[obsidian patio]

@tawdry otter if you're fine with JP there's this website https://www.ffxivcollection.com/

No, royal authority turns back into rage of halone for duties below level 60.

[brisk iron]

oh thats great news

ty

[sterile ore]

hello im doign a fish too far, the faire event stuff, after doign the fate, i didnt get proggres on my quest, why is that?

[green grail]

did you get a rating/reward from the fate

[mossy kite]

Anyone know why SE 'verify' your order of an expansion? seems a bit odd to wait for a code

[twin sable]

Hi. I wanted to know if there is a way to start a new character directly from hw? I wanna skip the 100 quest marathon lol.

[obsidian patio]

only if you buy a story skip

[tawdry otter]

what is about crafting and gathering?

[sacred sphinx]

I'm currently using the free version but if I buy a subscription and hit lv 80 on a samurai and unsubscribe, will I still be able to play on this character?

[tawdry otter]

which site?

[brisk iron]

Is there a way to click 'try on' on items and it not just put me in my skinnies?

[obsidian patio]

@mossy kite probably to ensure your card is legit

[twin sable]

ok i thought story skip will get me to the 3rd expansion?

[warped nest]

@sacred sphinx no

[brisk iron]

i want to see it with everything on

[obsidian patio]

there are varying grades of story skip

[twin sable]

so there are story skips for skipping only the base game too?

[sacred sphinx]

Look at the other buttons

[warped nest]

Skip will bring you to the beginning of a specific expansion

[twin sable]

Nice!

[tawdry otter]

teamcraft that was it

[sacred sphinx]

There shohld be one that lets you try it in w your gear

[twin sable]

okok thank you !!

[sacred sphinx]

On the bottom

[warped nest]

There is no skip to hit the end of Shadowbringers

[green grail]

4th from the right

[brisk iron]

oh hey im a moron, ty

[green grail]

keep outfit button or whatever

[sacred sphinx]

Wait so if I hit lv 66 on a character since the free version only supports up to 65 would that char be unplayable as well if I were to unsubscribe?

[tardy silo]

Any idea how to get Ehl Tou Mount?

[sacred sphinx]

*i meant if i hit lv 61 after subscribing and once my sub ends will this char be unplayable

[oak ice]

Free trial is 60 capped, so as soon as a job hits 60 it will just stop getting exp

[karmic niche]

^

[obsidian patio]

You can't play at all without subscription after buying the game.

[oak ice]

If you have a sub you're not on the free trial anymore

[obsidian patio]

doesn't matter what level you are or how far in the story you are.

[oak ice]

So when it expires you just can't log in anymore

[sacred sphinx]

Ohhhhh

So in terms of pure efficiency its better to lvl multiple classes I'd like to play to 60 in a pace that I like and then upgrade

Since there's no going back once I get the full version

[oak ice]

Correct, if efficiency is all you're going for

[simple shore]

I mean if you're trying to minimize costs, sure. Though there are downsides to that. You'll be facing gil cap problems.

[sacred sphinx]

Oh I hadn't thought of that

[elder veldt]

Do we know what the specific quest changes were in arr this patch I couldn't find it in the notes

[sacred sphinx]

So to play normally I'd need to buy the dlcs and then a sub to play those dlcs huh

[obsidian patio]

@elder veldt a ton of general changes. only thing I've seen someone make so far is a picture showing the number of total removed quests

something much more detailed like what you want will take longer due to needing to create a new character and leveling them all the way through ARR

[elder veldt]

I see, I just didn't know if they released that information or not. Thanks for the help

[simple pine]

the gil cap is no problem, just pick the money bags from quest rewards, and buy gear for different jobs

the amount of money you might miss out on, is nothing at endgame

[vivid wolf]

the money bags are pretty worthless tho

especially at lvl 60

[simple pine]

yeah but you will be money capped, might as well

[heady knot]

as a cnj ..... can i deal good dmg

im lvl 25 seems i can only heal in thsi glass right

class*

[obsidian patio]

yes

[simple pine]

eventually all healers will be doing damage, and only heal briefly in between

[obsidian patio]

conjurer/white mage has the best personal damage of the 3 healers

[simple pine]

but early on when you dont have all your skills, you will be stuck casting heal sometimes

[obsidian patio]

with scholar being in the middle and Astrologian having low personal damage compensated with high group damage due to card buffs

[heady knot]

yea thats what have been doing for the msq dungeons lol

i deal essentially none compare to other class

may as well just heal lol

[sacred sphinx]

I want to play as samu as my first job, should I purchase stormblood and a sub when I hit lv 50 then?

Rather than go to 60?

[simple pine]

also note that while leveling the tanks gear might be bad, or yours, so the combination of them taking a lot of damage and your heals being weak, means you are even harder stuck spamming heals

[heady knot]

i think i will just do cnj into white mage

so i can do other class after 80 right on the same char

?

[simple pine]

yes

not only after 80

at any point after you did your level 10 job quest

[heady knot]

i think i just focus on one before another

or does it sound bad

[simple pine]

no thats fine

[heady knot]

ok

[leaden ginkgo]

has anyone here successfully recovered a terminated account? Already contacted email support but they have only sent me an email notifying that the ticket has been seen; no contact or anything from them about the issue.

I do think that this may be a chargeback issue.

Anyone who can help me?

[rose tree]

This discord has nothing to do with SQE, so you just have to keep contacting support

[sterile ore]

how do u use mount action?

[simple pine]

after using the mount item

go to character>mount guide

and drag the mount on your hotbar

[maiden tulip]

on a chargeback occasion they usually just disable it not terminate

[sterile ore]

nono i mean like how do i get magiteck to do animation like shoot stuff

[tawdry otter]

someone have a guide to get the ragnarok weapon for my warrior?

[simple pine]

it should replace your bottom skillbar by default, if you turned that off there should be a new skillbar to the side

nope

nothign appear

Guys I used up all my luck and got 3 lines for my WT. Are people still buying Neo Ishgardian gear nowadays?

[simple pine]

yes, its even more expensive currently

because of all the people coming back for 5.3

[topaz swift]

Oooh. Thanks for the tip @simple pine

[naive trench]

anyone know when mogstation sale is going to end?

[leaden ginkgo]

This discord has nothing to do with SQE, so you just have to keep contacting support
@rose tree I just wanted to see if another player had previously encountered this issue and just wants to asks for some details regarding how long does SQE support replies stuff like that. And yes, I've already contacted SQE support (which I have already said).

[obsidian patio]

@sterile ore The quest for the magitek walker mounts to use their weapons is from the quest "Magiteknical difficulties" in mor dhona

[rose tree]

Just keep contacting (which I have already said)

[obsidian patio]

@topaz swift no, but you can spend that on the Incitatus whistle and sell it for a potentially massive amount of gil

[sterile ore]

yeye thank you just found out

[obsidian patio]

AFAIK the only way to get one of those currently so soon in the patch is from 3 lines of WT

[sterile ore]

only magiteck have actio nstuff, while firebird kirin etc doesnt

Just incase anyone else needs it

[warm veldt]

Why do I have a second armor identification key?

[green grail]

there's a bunch of magitek armor mounts

just use it and see what you get

[leaden ginkgo]

does anyone remember where collectable synthesis button is at I forgot to update my old data and have to realign all my skill again

[warm veldt]

I used the key, but it says I already have the mount

Not sure what it could be tbh

[green grail]

collectables got reworked and collectable synthesis is no longer a thing @leaden ginkgo

[leaden ginkgo]

oh that new to me

5.3 I take it ?

[green grail]

yeah

no clue how it works now tho

@obsidian patio

[leaden ginkgo]

welp at least it good to know I'm not going crazy

[obsidian patio]

there's a new section of the crafting log that has all the new collectables

and the house of splendors is no longer RNG

[leaden ginkgo]

so how does custom deliveries work now ?

[obsidian patio]

They still work the same

nothing's changed about them.

An update before this one made it so those items always got made as collectables

[green grail]

the collectables can only be crafted as collectables i guess so collectable synthesis as a toggle was removed

if im understanding correctly

[leaden ginkgo]

it's going to be weird that I don't need to press a button to do collectables synthesis

anyway thx for that answer

Ah thank you! Does the mount also drop from the trial itself? I've seen a few people with the mount already.

[green grail]

no, but it's also a reward from 3-line wondrous tails i think

[dim smelt]

@pearl wharf ask a moderator Ive never played trial mode . Really sorry couldn't help

[noble ember]

Oh neat!

[tidal yarrow]

i unlocked savage fights but the dude outside eulmore still doesn't talk to me for sss. am i missing a quest?

[pearl wharf]

damn

[green grail]

and it looks really similar to other unicorn mounts so i wouldnt be so sure it was specifically the new one

you need to have unlocked the heavensward and stormblood dummy as well @tidal yarrow

[tidal yarrow]

oh.. finally someone with an answer

i unlocked only idyllshire ones

[green grail]

so get the rhalgr's too

[finite topaz]

@pearl wharf well it seems something got corrupted...

[tidal yarrow]

rhalgrs? okay ill go there

[finite topaz]

So i'd say did he interrupt the download at some point?

[pine phoenix]

So I'm new to FFXIV (just got airship) and I just saw that really cool 1.0 reboot cutscene, is it better to experience the story reading through what happened before A Realm Reborn or will the game just tell me as I go?

[finite topaz]

The game will tell ya

[pearl wharf]

he says he disabled the antivirus and got a new error

[pine phoenix]

neat, thanks!

[pearl wharf]

"Just a new error saying the x64 config isn't matching the setup's .cab file"

[dim smelt]

Did he download the game ?

Or copy paste from someone's else ?

[junior valley]

hey guys, how do I get Carbontwine nowadays? the guides I've been seeing are 4-5 years old lol

[finite topaz]

Tell him to disable antivirus while downloading, i'd say

[tidal yarrow]

so get the rhalgr's too
you know the name of the quest?

[finite topaz]

hey guys, how do I get Carbontwine nowadays? the guide's I've been seeing are 4-5 years old lol
@junior valley 100 poetics, Mor Dhona

One of the Ana vendors

[green grail]

no, you cant buy upgrade items anymore

[finite topaz]

Auriana, whateverAna i dont remember

Cant buy em anymore?

OH RIGHT

[green grail]

because you cant buy base versions of tome gear either

[dim smelt]

I needed to turn off firewall to play ffxiv

[finite topaz]

Sundry splendors

[junior valley]

its not on Auriana anymore

[finite topaz]

So NPCs on the main city correct?

[green grail]

you can trade un-augmented gear for augmented for free at calamity salvagers

[karmic niche]

any guide on ranking up faster for grand company?

[finite topaz]

you can trade un-augmented gear for augmented for free at calamity salvagers
@green grail free?! God damn

any guide on ranking up faster for grand company?
@karmic niche get 1 friend, 2 MCHs, do dungeon runs unsynced

[junior valley]

@green grail may I know where that is?

[finite topaz]

At my time, we did Sohm Al unsynced and just sold all green gear

[karmic niche]

wow

that is difficult

lol

[junior valley]

I have the unaugmented ironworks

[green grail]

oh no wait it's not free, and it's only for the 60 and 70 sets it seems rip

[junior valley]

oh damn

I've been googling all day long lmao

[green grail]

just keep using un-augmented it's not that much of a difference

[tidal yarrow]

you know the name of the quest?
Vis

[green grail]

no

i don't

[tidal yarrow]

gotcha

[junior valley]

I need to dye it. HAHA

[maiden scarab]

[green grail]

so buy it again

[finite topaz]

Well, issue is

[pearl wharf]

@finite topaz would using a vpn affect it?

[junior valley]

guess that's my last resort

just buy the augmented ones haha

[finite topaz]

Carbontwine CANNOT be bought anymore

[worthy basin]

when's the sale going to end?

[fresh lodge]

Sale for what?

[finite topaz]

So if you didnt had previous carbontwine, you're left w doing Binding Coil of Bahamut for it(totally not recommend doing this tbh)

[fresh lodge]

Mogstation?

[worthy basin]

complete ed

[dim smelt]

@pearl wharf maybe

[junior valley]

I saw something about a weekly duty. but the npc just won't give me that weekly duty

[finite topaz]

Yeh, it aint worth it neither

You'll have a better time gradually getting the dyeable version

[crude marten]

When you look at the EXP bar, theres a lighter shade after the yellow part of the bar.. What is that lighter shade supposed to represent?

[pearl wharf]

cus my friend said they live in UAE

[fresh lodge]

Rested EXp

[oak ice]

Rested exp

[fresh lodge]

!faq restedexp

[zinc orbit]

Rested Experience FAQ

'Why does my EXP bar have some blue in it?'

That's Rested experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.

'How much of a boost is it?'

The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.

[potent narwhal]

for the Dragonsung Hatchet-- for to upgrade it from the +1 item to the Dragonsung item-- where do u farm for the 2 collected items

[finite topaz]

When you look at the EXP bar, theres a lighter shade after the yellow part of the bar.. What is that lighter shade supposed to represent?
@crude marten rested exp, it gives 50% bonus when gathering/crafting/killing a mob

[pearl wharf]

huh did not know that

[crude marten]

is it a gradual thing?

or bulk given upon gathering/crafting?

[finite topaz]

A gradual thing

It consumes gradually, it's also restored gradually if you are in a town/disconnected in a town(basically disconnect in a sanctuary, moon symbol next to exp bar)

Its a little incentive to not play too much for too long

[pearl wharf]

@dim smelt @finite topaz restarting the pc and shutting down background apps fixed it

[finite topaz]

Ohh

Good to know

[onyx kiln]

are the second stage of the skysung tools better when the white scrips ones?

[jaunty ruin]

I cant dye my armour even though I have the required dye and my armour is dyeable?

[finite topaz]

Huh...no idea, checked iLVLs?

I cant dye my armour even though I have the required dye and my armour is dyeable?
@jaunty ruin did you do the quest Color your World?

[jaunty ruin]

Teleporting does incur a gil feee tho

Idk why that message popped up for you

[cobalt pagoda]

I set it as free destination

[wintry chasm]

ok what in the frozen F is this ??
You are not logged in with security token. Teleporting will incur a gil fee.
@cobalt pagoda one time password gives you a free destination and I assume you set that place to free with it but later stopped using the one time password so it's saying that free place isn't free anymore

[cobalt pagoda]

oh

0.0

[wintry chasm]

It's only free when you use the OTP

[cobalt pagoda]

.> now that’s something I never though I will find in an game XD

[tidal yarrow]

where is "the dravanian hinterlands"?

i only have dravanian forelands as travel

[wintry chasm]

If you have the aetheryte to Idyllshire teleport there

Otherwise go east from Forelands

[tidal yarrow]

im trying to unlock all sss dummies

[wintry chasm]

Er

West not East

[tidal yarrow]

and i already unlocked idyllshire ones

i also did the fringes

what am i missing?

[neat agate]

Go idyllshire and go outside

[wintry chasm]

Then why do you want to go to Hinterlands?

You're missing the one at Kholusia in Shadowbringers

[tidal yarrow]

ahh

tysm

no wait

the quest at kholusia didn't spawn i just checked

that's why i thought i missed one

[wintry chasm]

You didn't

[green grail]

the quest is in eulmore iirc

[wintry chasm]

Oh it is

I couldn't remember if it was in there in the shitty part of the shitty part of Kholusia

[tidal yarrow]

[wintry chasm]

Also reminder you need to finish the Shadowbringers main story

No

[tidal yarrow]

yes im in 5.3

[wintry chasm]

Just heal yourself or something Dakaalim

Or your chocobo

[tidal yarrow]

in eulmore there's not any blue quest

[wintry chasm]

You looking at the bottom section?

The poor area

[tidal yarrow]

oh

found it

omg finally

[finite topaz]

I still think that practicing healing outside of duties is very limited, so you're better off just hitching a ride on a dungeon/trial/normal raid in order to get a feel for it

[mossy kite]

you could do hall of the novice

[green grail]

its not like you can have a healing rotation, every fight hits different

so dummies or healing random people is kinda pointless as a practice

[sick osprey]

is there a way to abort a spell casts other than moving ?

[delicate crater]

Anyone else unable to purchase play time through mog station/steam

Been like this since 5.3 came out atleast

[green grail]

you can press esc or sheathe your weapon with z/whatever keybind

[twilit arch]

can hit esc key to cancel

[sick osprey]

ty

[finite topaz]

Yeah...the best way to get a feeling for healing is pugging

you adapt to every situation

and with practice you become versatile and can handle whatever the heck kind of people you find

[magic light]

can i change the title theme to not be the shb ver everytime i boot up ff14?

[green grail]

nop

the change in the movie menu is only active until you close the game

[magic light]

:(

[exotic ridge]

How do I get rid of a Leve quest, I have one with a tree but the bottle I have to use has vanished? so I would like to get rid of it

[simple pine]

you need to do it afaik

[exotic ridge]

how do I get the bottle back?

[simple pine]

did you initiate it?

[finite topaz]

How do I get rid of a Leve quest, I have one with a tree but the bottle I have to use has vanished? so I would like to get rid of it
@exotic ridge you can cancel leves as you would cancel quests, if i remember correctly.

if you started a leve and wanna get rid of it, just get out from the map zone

into a different zone

and it will fail

[celest bison]

where do u do that 5.3 sidequest involving Gaius, Cid?

[green grail]

lochs

[celest bison]

oh thanks

[exotic ridge]

Its left as a retyy in my journal

there is no cancel

nvm ill try again

[minor blaze]

Ever since 5.3 updated I get a notification beep everytime I load back into the world after a trial/dungeon whatever. Anyone else get that and figure out how to stop it? It's annoying.

[simple pine]

mail

[open coral]

That usually means you have something in your mail. Talk to a Delivery Moogle to retrieve it.

[minor blaze]

Oh my god I do have mail I'm so dumb

[open coral]

ngl, it took me a disproportionate amount of time to figure out what that meant the first time I got mail in game.

Aside from the alert sound, it's very not obvious unless you know what you're looking for.

[lament elk]

are soil types ?

i rarely plant and i want to grow the allagan seeds but not sure what soil to use

[twilit arch]

if you're crossbreeding generally want to use grade 3 thanalan topsoil, as it increases crossbreeding chance. shroud increase crop yield and la noscean increased hq plants

[lament elk]

if this seed will always grow the minion i shouldn't need to use a special soil then

i will try and thank you for the help

[exotic ridge]

Is there a way to see if I have completed a specific quest?

[wintry chasm]

Journal -> press "completed" search from there

[simple pine]

yes there is a tab for completed quests

thats the only other one

[alpine hinge]

ah

alrighty

[agile laurel]

So I was having CPU issues yesterday, kinda pushed it to the limit a bit and that aside, I think I achieved what appeared practically to be black mage t-pose. However, am I right in thinking this's the blm idle from 1.0?

[nova umbra]

will they ever allow us to change glamour outside of cities? :c

is it a technical reason?

I really want to make different glamours for my gatherers, but I really don't want to overmeld 3 sets

[median locust]

It's because your inventory, including glamour plates, moves with you everytime you change instances, so by limiting where you can access glamour plates, they lower the amount of data transfered overall

same reason you can't access your glamour dresser outside of inns

[agile laurel]

@nova umbra alternative- carry around the items you want to glamour onto your sets

and simply carry glamour prisms with you

and do it manuallyu

it's what I do because one casual + one doh/dol glam = insufficient plates for every combat job

[median locust]

yeah I change weapon glams a lot so I carry a handful around

[nova umbra]

doing all the glamours manually every time sounds like a giant pain in the butt

[stable hinge]

how do I exchange my neo ish for ilv490 gear?

[median locust]

back in my day we didn't have glamour plates so we didn't have a choice

👴

[nova umbra]

Eulmore -> Gear Exchange in NE -> Turn in your equipment for some currency thing (Make sure to remove materia and unequip) -> Pay phantasmagoria to get some other currency -> Buy 490 gear

[stable hinge]

Ty

[median locust]

don't be one of the people who trade all their gear in then realise they don't have the phantasmagoria to upgrade everything

btw

[nova umbra]

yeah who would do that cough

good thing hunt trains give a ton of phantasmagoria

[cobalt pagoda]

BTW were do you get the new mount that turns into an mecha from an airplaine??

[median locust]

Most likely from Bozja which isn't out yet

[cobalt pagoda]

0.0

[median locust]

Gonna be in patch 5.35

which is around a month and a half from now

[cobalt pagoda]

ooo

[magic light]

oh, so the 1v1 with a group of people thing isn't out yet?

[median locust]

Nope

Eureka 2.0 soon but not now

[cobalt pagoda]

damn they be teasing us with it but still got an month to wait

[median locust]

All the Skybuilders mats are from Diadem

Also note: All grade 2 items will be useless when patch 5.31 comes out

Well, you'll still be able to make stuff with it but you won't be able to gather more

It's because the new stage of Ishgard Resto will be coming out

And they rotate in new materials instead of keeping the old ones

so people don't stockpile

Who knows

With all the people grinding Skybuilders' Scrips who won't necessarly need all the materials they gather, probably

[vivid wolf]

how difficult is The Baldesion Arsenal?

[median locust]

It's a little easier than your average 24-man raid

[vivid wolf]

oh, i always thought it was a lot harder

[median locust]

BUT you have 56 people who can screw up, AND you can't res people

[vivid wolf]

"The Baldesion Arsenal is a brutally difficult open dungeon that can be challenged by up to 56 players at once. "

so that brutally difficult is exaggerated?

[median locust]

It's only brutally difficult because you're not allowed any mistakes

And even other people's mistakes can kill you

[vivid wolf]

mkay, so getting that mirror cube mount thingy isn't gonna take me ages?

[green grail]

it's hard to figure out too, but if you know what's happening it's not that bad, I cleared it on the first try like a month after that eureka came out

[median locust]

I can't say, haven't done it since it released

I tried like 10 times and kept getting griefers, portal snipers, and kept getting killed by other people who then proceeded to clear without me

so I gave up

but that was week 1 and 2

It's surely way better now

[alpine hinge]

Can food buffs allow to bypass Craft and control requirement for crafting items?

[empty moss]

so no bozjan southern front yet?

[green grail]

you can use food to meet the required stats, yeah

no, in 5.31 in approx 6 weeks @empty moss

[vivid thorn]

are the mechanics that carry over from Sephirot to SB/ShB MSQ from the normal version or from EX?

[median locust]

5.35

[thick elm]

im not sure how it's possible to complete the first two levequests from 1-5 for botanist. The two levequests require me to log trees within two specific areas in central shroud, but trees are not spawning in those two areas whatsoever. I must be missing something, right?

[alpine hinge]

ooo

[median locust]

Did you start the leve from your quest log

[empty moss]

@green grail aah thx'

[median locust]

There's an "initiate" button

Trees won't appear unless you do that

[thick elm]

ah i see

thank you

[green grail]

@vivid thorn not sure what you're asking

[tired tapir]

How does one level a DPS after completing MSQ? My dungeon queues are 20+ min

[vivid thorn]

there are mechanics from Sephirot that reappear later in the MSQ

[lofty depot]

@tired tapir You can do any of these things:
1.) Squadron Dungeons (requires some initial time investment)
2.) Palace of the Dead
3.) Get a buddy to queue up with as tank or healer for dungeons

[simple pine]

squadron dungeons are great

its faster than a pug group if the tank only does small pulls

which at that level, most do

[wispy parcel]

Squads can get you up to 50 no problem

Once you start reaching higher levels dungeon queues arent nearly as bad as well

[leaden ginkgo]

So I just started playing with treasure maps. If my map allowance timer is still counting down, then can I still find Zonureskin Maps at all in level 80 nodes?

[green grail]

i meeeaaan, there's a lot of mechanics from different trials and dungeons appearing in all areas of the game, stuff like stack markers, aoe telegraphs, boss facing you indicating there's an attack coming at you etc @vivid thorn

[leaden ginkgo]

or does the game prevent me from doing that?

[green grail]

you won't find any maps if the timer has a countdown

when the time is up you'll be able to find one again

[leaden ginkgo]

ty

[warped nest]

You can buy more maps from MB

If you needed more

[green grail]

ya the timer is only for gathering maps from nodes/fishing

[leaden ginkgo]

and I can still decipher those and run them too?

[green grail]

yep

[warped nest]

Yup

[leaden ginkgo]

cool, I didn't know that, thank you again!

[warped nest]

Nope

[green grail]

never tried but i'd guess no

[wispy parcel]

Hunts dont give xp

[warped nest]

Even if they do, take note that A/S are level 80

Maybe they are fine if you are just a level or two under

But 10 level under...

[green grail]

rewards are based on more or less aggro generation

[warped nest]

Not for 70+

[green grail]

yeah definitely

[faint flare]

Not post 70

[green grail]

oh wait

yeah

[nova umbra]

um... do I gather this as a collectable? The rowena thing is gone from the timers

[wispy parcel]

From 1-70 yes

[warped nest]

For 70+, you want Trust dungeon

[wispy parcel]

70-80 hell no

[faint flare]

Or just normal que if you're fine with waiting

[tidal yarrow]

can i create a ls, invite a free trial friend and chat there?

i am not in free trial

[wispy parcel]

DPS queues in ShB arent bad at all

[faint flare]

Yes yuuko

[tidal yarrow]

oki ty

[faint flare]

Should work

[wispy parcel]

They are like 5 minutes max

[warped nest]

speaking of trust dungeons, how come my dudes are like level 71
@finite swift I don't understand the question

[tidal yarrow]

how do i create a linkshell?

[faint flare]

When you complete the story. Trusts are reset to 71

And you'll need to level them

By doing dungeons with them

They level faster than you

[wispy parcel]

which is why I never use trusts

[green grail]

@nova umbra collectables were reworked significantly, rowena's house of splendors isn't random anymore, just specific items that are only gathered as collectibles, so check what she's accepting and go collect it like you would a collectable

[wide kernel]

Hello if i buy the complete collector's edition digital upgrade

[faint flare]

Yes

[wide kernel]

i get all the expansions right?

[faint flare]

Do dungeons with them

[wispy parcel]

Yes

You get all of them

[faint flare]

And they'll get xp on completion

[warped nest]

@wide kernel collector edition give you extra freebie

[faint flare]

You need 31 runs to level them to.80

[warped nest]

It is not needed to get all expansion

[vivid thorn]

I am ready to stop doing MSQ but only for fights that provide good mechanical training value

[warped nest]

What do you own at the moment?

[slate arrow]

get back on that MSQ then buddy

[wide kernel]

@warped nest i thought might as well buy since I'm enjoying the game and its 50% off

[warped nest]

That's fair

[tidal yarrow]

how do i create a linkshell?

clicking L but there's not the option to do so

[wide kernel]

does it matter if i bought the base game on steam?

[slate arrow]

Yes

You must buy the exapnsions on steam

unless you make a new account

[warped nest]

You would need to buy expansion on steam

[faint flare]

I believe you go to Linkshell masters in major cities to do ot

[vivid thorn]

I am led to believe that high-end fights provide the best training value

[warped nest]

Then get the collector digital upgrade if you want those extra freebies

[slate arrow]

There's no such thing as training

While some mechanics will reappear throughout the fights the execution will tend to differ

[green grail]

old "high-end" fights aren't really high end anymore, unless you do them synced, which almost no one does, especially on day 3 of a new patch

[nova umbra]

@green grail so I got those white oak branches as collectables and yeah, saw that they don't take it anymore in Eulmore. So why does that item still exist to be gathered?

[warped nest]

On new expansion, all old contents basically get a 2-3 week empty window

[green grail]

if you know how to stack, stand inside towers, and look away from eye indicators then you should be good for msq solo duties

[warped nest]

Because basically the whole population of players are doing new expansions

[vivid thorn]

if I am to stop the MSQ for a high-end fight, synced is the only way to get any training value out of it

[slate arrow]

good luck

no really that's not sarcastic

[nova umbra]

oh wait nvm, it's listed under 61-70???

[slate arrow]

Nobody wants to to not-level 80 content currently

[nova umbra]

why, when it's gathered in shb??

[green grail]

well yeah cause unsynced is just gonna be a bunch of lvl 80s clearing the fight in 30 seconds for you

[vivid thorn]

I have an incentive to do so that others don't

[slate arrow]

and extremes and savages are not in duty roulette with a single exception for mentors

and even then good luck getting any mentor to stick around for those

[green grail]

you can't really train for endgame on old content unfortunately

like, do normal modes for extra poetics and to see new mechanics but they won't be anything complex

[vivid thorn]

I am not after endgame training, I am after MSQ trainung

[faint flare]

Its not.needed

[green grail]

!faq marker

[green grail]

msq duties are very simple mechanically

[slate arrow]

If they die, well, now you know not to do that

[vivid thorn]

if I do normal only I will still have issues

[slate arrow]

no you won't

[leaden ginkgo]

478 iLvl, how should I be melding as a Scholar?

[faint flare]

As long as you press your buttons and actually use your skills

You're fine

[wispy parcel]

Nothing in XIV is all that hard to begin with save savage and ultimate raids

[faint flare]

The story is casual of casual

[wispy parcel]

Even then only like 10%-15% of players even do those

[vivid wolf]

this is a coeurl right?

what about this npc then

is it just a nickname or smething?

[green grail]

yes

[faint flare]

Roe names

[vivid wolf]

oh

[simple pine]

maybe like a tribal nickname? like angry buffalo etc

[vivid wolf]

i thought i missed something

like humanoid coeurls looking like roe

[faint flare]

Just roe stuff

[strange coral]

Iron Thunder, Hoary Boulder, etc. It's common among Roes

[vivid thorn]

FF14 is still one of the most hardcore games on the market

[faint flare]

Lol

No

Its extremely casual

Most say too causal

[leaden ginkgo]

This seems like a conversation that should be had in #general-discussion

[vivid thorn]

it still feels way more hardcore than my old game

[slate arrow]

FFXIV can be hardcore but that's only if you're grinding savage and Ultimate raids

And savage hardcore only applies this current tier because

[faint flare]

As long as the healer is capable of actually using their skills and not literally afk, stuff is easy

[slate arrow]

Light Rampant is murder

[vivid wolf]

it's the only game that doesnt punish you for being offline

[faint flare]

Dungeons dont do that much damage

[vivid wolf]

so pretty casual imo

[vivid thorn]

but I just don't have enough skill to even get the story done

[simple pine]

probably simply not enough gear

[vivid thorn]

that's a huge red flag to me

[slate arrow]

There's two prereqs to not dying

[green grail]

maybe you just don't have enough gear

[slate arrow]

Not standing in puddles

And being geared

[faint flare]

Keep geae up to date and press buttons

[vivid wolf]

get decent gear yeah

[faint flare]

And don't stand in bad

[vivid thorn]

skill is more important to get to the gear

when you press C, what is the number next to the star in your character portrait?

[vivid wolf]

had a tank dying a few times in sastasha a few days ago, guy was running around in race gear

[faint flare]

No gear is a damn factoe here

[slate arrow]

skills means nothing if you die in one hit

[green grail]

yeah but if you're in lvl 49 gear doing lvl 61 msq then even the most skilled will have issues

[slate arrow]

[faint flare]

If your gear is shit then you're barely healing much

And putting a ton of extra strain on people

Taking morw damage, being less effective

Skill only covers so much

[green grail]

at endgame is where skill definitely matters more than gear, but for leveling and msq i'd say gear is even more important

[faint flare]

^

[vivid thorn]

I still want more skill so the gear would then follow

[slate arrow]

lol

[green grail]

what's your gear and msq level

[faint flare]

The story is plenty of gear

Plus poetics at level caps

[simple pine]

just get 80 first, you cant even really "get player skill" because you dont have any proper rotations to learn without all your job skills unlocked

[slate arrow]

I hope to God you've been doing your job quests

[vivid thorn]

I just hit 60 so I blew poetics on the main weapons right before doing the 60 job quests

[nova umbra]

Does the gamerescape use some kind of model viewer?

[slate arrow]

Your item level should be at 270 then

Or somewhere thereabouts

[green grail]

what about armor/accesories

that's just in-game preview window @nova umbra

[nova umbra]

oh lol

[slate arrow]

Easiest way to tell what item level you should be at is to just send a screenshot of your character screen and your classes/jobs window

[vivid thorn]

that said because I need to gear SMN and SCH simultaneously it will take me much longer to get the whole set

[slate arrow]

no, you don't need to gear both

you only need one(1) job to complete the MSQ

[faint flare]

Focus on 1 or just grab some gear off market for the other

[vivid thorn]

I found out solo duties were much easier with DPS than with a healer

[slate arrow]

You're the one making it harder for yourself

[leaden ginkgo]

hi guys, what is the best way to spend allagan tomestone of poetics?

[slate arrow]

!faq Poetics

[zinc orbit]

[tardy patio]

was Rowena's collectibles turnin list removed from the Timers page?

[slate arrow]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

thank you!

[faint flare]

Yes because it doesn't change anynore

[slate arrow]

Turn ins are now static and unchanging

[vivid thorn]

I'm concerned with mechanical skill most

[faint flare]

Dont be for the story

[faint flare]

Dont stand in the bad

And you're good

People who barely play games clear the story

[slate arrow]

Don't stand in the orange death puddles

[tardy patio]

Oh nvm im dummy there's a new Collectables tab in crafting special menu

[green grail]

probably in the gathering log? maybe? @tardy patio

[verbal storm]

Hey guys, how is ninja class in the current patch?

[slate arrow]

Is 99% of the skill needed for MSQ duties

[flat hemlock]

Hello! I'm still quite fresh to the game. I've leveled one DoH+DoL to lv50+ and I'd like to ask if I'm not understanding the gear 'progression' rightly? As I've found it much harder to do my Ishgard class quests, and I'm in a full set of lv50-ish store-bought gear.

[slate arrow]

(both dungeons and instances)

[vivid thorn]

but I still feel the need to master an old EX based on whether the mechanics come back later in the MSQ

[faint flare]

I've seen plenty of bad players through my time in dungeons and they're all past the story

[slate arrow]

lol

They don't use EX trials for mechanics in normal modes

[vivid thorn]

they do

[faint flare]

^

They dont

[slate arrow]

If there's a hard mechanic, it's usually unique to the boss

[vivid thorn]

Ifrit EX is perhaps the best example of an EX-specific mechanic that comes back to the MSQ later

[faint flare]

Thordan basically has everything that appears in the story

[green grail]

which mechanic came back

[vivid thorn]

the chain

[faint flare]

Except star aoes which comes with Mist dragon

[slate arrow]

but

Chain is self explanatory

[vivid thorn]

it came back in the Vault

[slate arrow]

Just run away

[green grail]

the vault is before thordan?

[faint flare]

And functioned completey differently

[vivid thorn]

for now I think I'm better off stopping the MSQ

[faint flare]

Ifirit needed people to be close while vault needed to run away

You're added useless and conflicting info

[slate arrow]

"reused" mechanics can be made to be completely different

There's no such thing as training

please don't shoot yourself in the foot

[vivid thorn]

people forget skill is a thing

[slate arrow]

To be fair you're also on crystal

The deviation between player skill on crystal can be

Wack

[crystal shoal]

hey guys so i just used the dummy calculator

[wispy parcel]

Crystal has the lowest clear rate in the game

Lot of people here suck ass at the game

[crystal shoal]

i dealt 14600 dps in e5s dummy

[fresh lodge]

Alright hold up

[faint flare]

If anything do Normal mode raids

Like Alex

[crystal shoal]

my ilvl is 481

[vivid thorn]

I'd want the experience of high-end as well because it will be beneficial

[fresh lodge]

Crystal's lower skill is for end game content specifically, not dungeons/trials

[crystal shoal]

how much can i improve from that?

[slate arrow]

@crystal shoal what job

[crystal shoal]

mch

[vivid thorn]

I want nothing to do with endgame for now

[fresh lodge]

But that isn't to say you can't do end game content on Crystal, there are just less raiders in general, but that doesn't mean everyone on Crystal is worse than people on Aether

[slate arrow]

You're doing as much as you can at that ilvl I reckon

[vivid thorn]

I just want the skill to get through the MSQ - even if it meant running A4/8S

[crystal shoal]

oh i see

[vivid thorn]

to get it

[crystal shoal]

thanks guys

[green grail]

if you cant beat msq then you will not beat a4/8s

[slate arrow]

good luck finding anyone to do older content synced

besides teleporting? No

[vivid thorn]

then this game is probably not for me

[simple pine]

tp tickets :p

you can get more from hunts

[faint flare]

Its not that pricy

Plus what wilco said

Aetheryte tickets

From allied sealed

[vivid thorn]

but I have to get better before I can go into SB so I think I should just stay in HW until I can get EX fights done synced and consistently

[slate arrow]

Marjo, you're the one worrying too much

[faint flare]

^

[slate arrow]

just hop in, expect to die, laugh, and have fun

[raw solstice]

you don't need to be anywhere near good enough to do ex or savage content to do MSQ

[faint flare]

As we said

[raw solstice]

MSQ is very easygoing

[wispy parcel]

MSQ is very easy

[vivid thorn]

knowing your class is just not a substitute for mechanical skill

[wispy parcel]

Brain dead in some cases

[faint flare]

Story is the lowest difficulty level

[vivid thorn]

I'm after mechanical skill

[slate arrow]

You're the one worrying too much

[fresh lodge]

The mechanics in the MSQ aren't punishing at all

[slate arrow]

you're the one worrying too much

[fresh lodge]

Just keep going

[faint flare]

[fresh lodge]

There is nothing wrong with dying during an MSQ dungeon

[vivid thorn]

but Gubal made me feel I should just stop the MSQ

[fresh lodge]

Just keep going

[slate arrow]

You're. The. One. Worrying. Too. Much.

[faint flare]

Dont be hard on yourself

Plus dungeons aren't always youe fault for wiping

IE people standing in bad

And getting themselves killed

[fresh lodge]

Dungeons are meant to be where you're learning these mechanics

[vivid thorn]

I need more skill before I can proceed, Gubal made that obvious (I was i140 or so at the time, and it syncs to i150)

[simple pine]

cant you just replay the dungeon/trial that you thought were hard? rather than spending a ton of effort finding synced old content

[slate arrow]

Item level isn't skill????

[fresh lodge]

150 is the highest for the dungeon

Not what you should be

[vivid thorn]

if I struggle even with that gear then it's a skill issue

[faint flare]

Or got a bad party

[slate arrow]

Dungeons and trials in ffxiv are like playing a piece of music

[faint flare]

Who loves to stand in bad

[slate arrow]

The only way to get better at it is to do it again

And then you have three random people doing the other parts of the same piece

You can't control what they do

[vivid thorn]

I want high-end but not just any high-end

[slate arrow]

All you can do is do the best on your part

[vivid thorn]

I want high-end that carries over to later MSQ

[slate arrow]

you're fucking worrying too much mate stop worrying yourself to death

[fresh lodge]

Thats completely backwards

MSQ carries over skill to high end content, not the other way around

[faint flare]

They dont really carry over cause they have their own mechanics and variations

[fresh lodge]

If you're struggling with MSQ you're not going to clear high end content

[vivid thorn]

I was told Sephirot had the most carryover of any HW EX

[simple pine]

and your skill rotation is completely different at endgame than at 60/70

[fresh lodge]

No

[faint flare]

Not really

[slate arrow]

Yeah, for Heavensward trials probably

[fresh lodge]

Whoever told you that is wrong

[faint flare]

Thordan does, has basically every aoe

[slate arrow]

Stormblood uses a completely different set of mechanics

[faint flare]

In the NORMAL

[fresh lodge]

The MSQ is where you learn mechanics

Not high end content

[vivid thorn]

mechanical skills carry over better across levels than class skills

[slate arrow]

lol

No, they don't

Stormblood they went craaaazey with unique mechanics

[simple pine]

90% of mechanical skill is about using class skills correctly in this game

[slate arrow]

I highly doubt you'll see many of the unique HW mechanics again

[faint flare]

If you're shit at your class then you're not gonna be able to deal with people Messing mechanics

[slate arrow]

besides stuff like stacks and tankbusters

[vivid thorn]

playing a class decently is no substitute for playing mechanics properly

[fresh lodge]

Enough

[faint flare]

It kinda is

[vivid thorn]

I have to treat it as though it isn't
