weekly loto ticket

granite swan
#

ah

simple shore
#

pick four numbers and be disappointed when you dont match

long vapor
#

is there a 70-80 alt guide?

simple shore
#

Not really but its pretty simple

#

Do Pixie quests every day

#

Do daily hunts from the board in Crystarium

#

Do roulettes

#

once you're out of all of those, run highest dungeon you can

#

If for whatever reason your queue for said dungeon would be ~20+ minutes

#

use Trusts

crude marten
#

Felt like i was experiencing some Game of Thrones /peak Suikoden 2 moments in the last parts of ARR to Heavensward.

Will we have more of these going to stormblood/shadowbringers? or is this just a one off? gotta say FFXIV has good story if this keeps up.

leaden ginkgo
#

pixie quests repeat dungeons and roulettes

simple shore
#

Its certainly not the last time that major events happen if that's what you're asking.

long vapor
#

Heavensward and Shadowbringers story is amazing

granite swan
#

What rank do trusts unlock?

leaden ginkgo
#

70

simple shore
#

In fact, the ARR story is probably the "weakest" of the four. So it only gets better from where you are.

leaden ginkgo
#

@crude marten imo it just gets better and better so you're in for a treat :D

crude marten
#

Ohoho good tidings then

quasi widget
#

shadowbringers doesnt really have like intricate multiple plot threads and tons of characters at once like GoT, its a bit different

leaden ginkgo
#

in my opinion heavensward was unbeatable though

karmic niche
#

ARR msq suck...

granite swan
#

Rank 70? Is it not through GC? or is that different?

leaden ginkgo
#

noo those are grand company squadron things

crude marten
#

I love the politics and war, showing the darkness of man. Think its one of the draws of Rpgs and gundam/mecha for me

leaden ginkgo
#

to unlock those just rank up a gc

simple shore
#

Trusts are a ShB feature.

granite swan
#

Oh, rip

leaden ginkgo
#

wait you love the politics too, you're definetly in for a treat haha

crude marten
#

To see it in high fantasy is a treat

simple shore
#

Yeah you'll like HW for sure then

leaden ginkgo
#

and stormblood

little swift
#

trusts first instance is the lv71 dungeon

leaden ginkgo
#

@granite swan youd like this feature which I think you're talking about

hasty sapphire
#

is the best thing you can buy (gear wise) with peotics the level 70 gear?

crude marten
#

Awesome. To be honest i saw the Heavensward trailer and the Dragoon closing its helmet like a gundam was all it took.

I bought the whole collection LOL

leaden ginkgo
#

haha, the dragoons are badass

rugged nimbus
#

Does the preferred server status confer any benefits in addition to the increased exp gain? I think I remember it having other benefits years ago

cosmic token
#

Is there any non-localized translation that I can look at? It's killing me how much I'm missing out due to localization

long vapor
#

think its just bonus xp tbh

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a way to auto stack items in my retainer's inventory?

granite swan
#

@leaden ginkgo That looks nice, to bad im Trial, so no go for it 😦

ashen moat
#

Does anyone know roughly when next patch is?

leaden ginkgo
#

5 weeks ~

#

Does anyone know roughly when next patch is?
@ashen moat end of August

simple shore
#

@leaden ginkgo nope. fastest way is to pull them all out and put them back in.

rugged nimbus
#

does Aether currently have a preferred server? Not seeing it a star on the list

granite swan
#

i think its colored green now?

#

atleast diabolos was

rugged nimbus
#

they're all the same color

granite swan
#

I actually had to look on the website for server status to find preferred lol

i heard something about the nier flight unit being a mount

#

am I imagining things?

karmic niche
#

Early level dragoon is too painful to play

keen fable
#

is scathe actually useful while leveling?

#

there's no way to weave it

little swift
#

not really too useful

keen fable
#

aight

#

the only time i can think of is using while moving

little swift
#

you could slidecast or use firestarter/thundercloud to move

robust crow
#

i swear i heard something about a nier flight unit mount

keen fable
#

aight

karmic niche
#

Is shield bash even useful?

quasi widget
#

sometimes

#

rarely

frozen karma
#

With the road to 70 buff, how is it counted? Does it go 90 days from when you started the game, or 90 days after the server was removed from preferred?

little swift
#

not worth wasting the GCD to use shield bash when low blow is a thing

karmic niche
#

Well... it just a waste of cd

#

Yeah

granite swan
#

You know its time for bed when you spend 20 min running around Gridania lookin for the Botanist Guild ...

karmic niche
#

Yikes

quasi widget
#

its useful for that one boss in meridanium

#

but yeah thats it

karmic niche
#

Basically not useful

little swift
#

in castrum you can have each tank low blow instead

#

to not lose gcd damage

karmic niche
#

Btw i can't find how to show party debuff on target

#

It only show my debuff which is not useful at all when in dungeons

magic light
#

with the demi crystal nerf, what else can i spend poetics on?

granite swan
#

Geh, almost near gil cap and no idea what to spend gil on lol

#

since i cant use MB

warped nest
#

Buy gears for other jobs

#

That's probably the best idea I have

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.

warped nest
#

Oh, nvm

#

I thought this one has a pic

granite swan
#

are Poetics only lv 50 gear and Phantasmagria lv 60?

simple shore
#

Poetics are 50/60/70

#

Phanta/Allegory are 80

mild brook
#

I just created a new character and went through the first quest to see people. i cannot buy a boost/scenario skip for some reason though. it keeps giving me an error and i cant even get the chance to enter my info to buy it. do i need to do more in game to be able to or something wrong?

leaden ginkgo
#

You see for the 'A Soul Without Life' quest for Anima Weapons, do you have to do a fate as the quest you're going for, ie, you have to grind the fates on DRK or the luminous crystals wont drop, or can you farm them on say, pally?

quasi widget
#

just need the quest

#

and the crystals should drop

#

on any job

leaden ginkgo
#

Aight cool, 'cause I want the DRK weapon, but I also want to level my pally

#

What's the drop rate roughly?

granite swan
#

@simple shore Guess i shoulda asked that before .... almost 60 and buyin lv 50 gear >.<

quasi widget
#

im not too sure. last time I got pretty lucky and only one took over ten fates

karmic niche
#

I just buy the weapons

unborn fern
#

Any good ways to level up a alt job?

granite swan
#

okay, this is messed up ... it looks like my char has a slave collar on O.O

leaden ginkgo
#

You can buy the anima weapons? 🤔

karmic niche
#

Because it look better

leaden ginkgo
#

I only care about the appearance

karmic niche
#

Is your necklace

leaden ginkgo
#

Or you talking about somethin' else

granite swan
#

Ya choker of casting lol

karmic niche

Yum

I mean what

little swift
#

those duties are locked in party finder because you haven't unlocked htem so therefore you cannot join them

frosty badger
#

I have a nice question

crude marten
#

I've read about How to spend Poetics, question is:
I just started Heavensward but I'm already Level 60, I was wondering if I'm close to the L60 Poetics vendor, or if I'm very far from it.

granite swan
frosty badger
#

someone pls help me understand the logic of having a flying mount roulette when all mounts basically fly..

crude marten
#

like how it is for Revenants Toll gated so very far from the beginning of the game

proud willow
#

the logic is that most mounts used to be unable to fly

ivory pewter
#

hey question am i able to turn of my mount music so i can chill and listen to this dope map music instead?

simple shore
#

@frosty badger there is no logic. Its a leftover of when that wasnt a thing that they havent removed yet.

#

Yes

crude marten
#

is it like this for Idyllshire?

frosty badger
#

aah

#

ty good sir

simple shore
proud willow
#

Idyllshire is inaccessible until you're on the level 58 MSQs

crude marten
#

so I can spend my Poetics now for Lvl50 gear if im still very far from the L60 shop

ivory pewter
#

thank you @simple shore this shadow bringer music is killing it out here

raven burrow
#

is there a weekly limit on edenverse loot?

frosty badger
#

not anymore

#

only blade piece

raven burrow
#

but i can get only 1 item per clear, right? even if i need on all

frosty badger
#

i think it's possible to get more than one

raven burrow
#

hmm guess i had bad luck this time then

slate crow
#

Are all two-seat mounts from the store?

proud willow
#

Not all of them

raven burrow
#

are there any loot differences in the edenverse stages?

#

i just beat ramuh

frosty badger
#

these pieces are called tokens

proud willow
#

the same tokens drop from each fight, but in different quantities

long vapor
#

whats the average time span to get from 70-80 on alt job

proud willow
#

actually there are a few tokens that only drop from 3 of the 4 fights. There's a chart you can look up

#

but they are all tokens for the same 480 gear

frosty badger
#

yup

granite swan
#

Is there any point in keeping lower level weapons if you dont plan to glamour them?

karmic niche
#

No

#

Well yes for DoL if you want your retrainer be DoL jobs

frosty badger
#

if said weapons are leveling weapons then i dont see a reason to keep

granite swan
#

Just noticed my weapon bag is full of mostly books and since that class/job shares level ... :p time to burn some books!

frosty badger
#

i mean yes armory space for weapon is scarce and always needs to be clean

solemn shard
#

Is there anyway to have chat bubbles above peoples heads?

simple shore
#

Nope

solemn shard

solar surge

Can people in the free trial use the Duty Finder?

Okay, thank you

stuck at the level 15 dungeon forever

honest anvil
#

I’m with the twin adder. Is the quartermaster in gridania the only place to spend company seals on?

long vapor
#

feels like it queing for leveling DR

raven burrow
#

is there a recommendation for which edenverse to farm? im in full i445 gear, with some neo

long vapor
#

yes

honest anvil
#

Tks

frozen karma
#

how do I disengage form a striking dummy?

proud willow
#

if you right-click the name, there should be a Reset Enmity option

hot crane
#

so after finishing my first moonfaire event I got 5 tokens. yet the next time I joined the fate I got nothing.

#

is there a specific npc I need to talk to before doing it again?

proud willow
#

I think you have to finish the quest before you can get tokens from repeating the Fate

little swift
#

how do I disengage form a striking dummy?
@frozen karma right click the striking dummy and "reset enmity"

hot crane
#

I thought I finished it after getting my first 5 tokens O_O

ill check if there is any walkthrough guide

fickle jackal
#

Is there any thing daily I can get or a daily spin for free stuff that day?

slate crow
#

Where can I get a two seat?

quasi widget
#

Where can I get a two seat?
@slate crow theres the draft chocobo from recruit a friend, theres the marriage chocobo from getting married, theres grinding 2000 mentor roulettes, there was the ffxv crossover event like a year ago, theres a mount drop for eden 4 savage

little swift
#

so after finishing my first moonfaire event I got 5 tokens. yet the next time I joined the fate I got nothing.
@hot crane you have to provide more contribution to the fate to get the full reward (15 tokens)

#

Is there any thing daily I can get or a daily spin for free stuff that day?
@fickle jackal no there isn't any sort of daily spin deal

fickle jackal
#

Whoa, whoa whoa...I get a two seater for getting married? Who wants to get hitched?

simple shore
#

That's not actually free

hot crane
#

@little swift yeah I think I finished the quest

gusty belfry
#

you have to buy the marriage thing with RL money

hot crane
#

by that I think u mean I have to do it right from the beginning of fate

little swift
#

you can do the fate without the quest

fickle jackal
#

But but I subscribe...😔

quasi widget
#

and I think the upcoming new yokai watch mount might be a two seater

little swift
#

you just need to do more in the fate

simple shore
#

The only "truly free" two seaters are the mentor one, the e4s one, and the ffxv crossover one. I highly suggest you forget the mentor one.

quasi widget
#

but thats like 300hours of grinding fates

little swift
#

the yokai watch mount is a 1 seater

#

its jsut a semi-unique mount

simple shore
#

ffxv event will come back some day

quasi widget
#

im at like 400 mentor roulettes. its not that bad actually

fickle jackal
#

How am i suppose to pick up cat girls if I pull up on my company Chocobo..

little swift
#

is that a serious question

leaden ginkgo
#

get a better mount then

please limit shitposting in this channel thanks

fading zealot
#

Hey is it unusually for a phantasia vial to take more than an hour to arrive?

little swift
#

sometimes delivery for paid items can take a bit of time

#

double check that your payments have gone through in your bank payments (or whatever avenue you've used) as well

#

after taht

keen fable
#

i'm confused as to how to unlock leves - i'm in uldah, could anyone point me in the right direction

fading zealot
#

Ohh I see, i bought vials before and they usually took around 10. Ive gotten the confirmation email and the right character too

little swift
#

go to your mail and check using the request items button

still iris
#

is there anyway to buy hi-potions and such

simple shore
#

Technically yes, but that wouldnt really be a good use of money?

fading zealot
#

Yep done that a few times as well 😦 Oh well

simple shore
#

Healing potions in general (with the exception of the POTD one for solo POTD runs) are pretty meh.

still iris
#

im about halfway into heavensword and my chocobo isnt high enough rank to be a good healer

simple shore
#

What job

still iris
#

me?

simple shore
#

Yes

still iris
#

summoner

simple shore
#

Just use Titan when you're solo if you're having trouble.

still iris
#

do i need to change crystals for taht

simple shore
#

No

little swift
#

titan-egi

simple shore
#

Summon II pulls out Titan

little swift
#

has a shield

simple shore
#

if you then use Egi Assault 1

#

you'll get a shield for 20% of your max HP

#

err

#

30%

#

So you're....pretty unkillable unless you just pull a bazillion things

still iris
#

im just using ifrit cuz ppl say ifrit is taht best

little swift
#

garuda AoE Ifrit ST

#

but titan is fine to use

simple shore
#

Yes. But when you're solo Titan has its uses

little swift
#

especially solo if you need to

frosty badger
#

any mounts that come with digital upgrades other than fat chocobo?

still iris
#

flying nimbus

simple shore
#

That's not the question he was asking, i dont think

#

the collectors upgrades all come with mounts

little swift
#

i'm confused as to how to unlock leves - i'm in uldah, could anyone point me in the right direction
@keen fable depending on your starting city, the levequests prerequisite bluequest starts in the inn space of your relevant starting city. then you go to the first are to complete it

slate crow
#

Since I doubt I’ll be doing Ixal beast tribe, what are their mounts?

frosty badger
#

oh yes collector sorry

simple shore
#

ARR is Behemoth, HW is a Griffin, SB is Syldra, and ShB is Grani

still iris
#

question items lvls confuse me i have item lvls of 110 and idk how or when ill ever equip them

simple shore
#

If i'm remembering it right

#

I might be wrong on ARR but i'm 99% sure im right about the other three

#

@still iris elaborate. what is confusing about it.

still iris
#

there is stuff that is high item lvl i cant equp

simple shore
#

ilvl has nothing to do with if you can wear it

leaden ginkgo
#

look at the level of said items

#

under the item level place

simple shore
#

If you look on this

leaden ginkgo
#

^

simple shore
#

it has an item level of 490

#

but a Lv. 80

#

"Lv. 80" is the required level to wear

still iris
#

so many acronyms idk what they mean

simple shore
#

They're job abbreviations

#

You cannot wear that item because its for tanks/drg's

still iris
#

ah ok that makes sense

simple shore
#

if the 3 letter acronyms are red, you cant wear it, basically

#

on your current job, anyway

slate crow
#

So is there no other way to get Syldra? I love FFV

simple shore
#

I think that's the only way to get Syldra, yes

#

afaik its not on the cash shop as a standalone item

leaden ginkgo
#

it is not

slate crow
#

So if I upgraded to collectors, I’d get Grani since I already have ShB?

simple shore
#

Collectors is expansion specific

#

you can upgrade whichever expansion you want to get its collectors package

#

so if you want Syldra you can just go buy the upgrade to SB

keen fable
#

@little swift what if i dont remember the starting city

slate crow
#

$20, tho 🤔

little swift
#

@keen fable check the inns for a bluequest that says "Leves of X"

#

and do that first one

#

you'll have to do a similar one at every are you go to to unlock new leve level ranges

wet cradle
#

where do I upgrade crystarium armor piece with the nier raid coins?

keen fable
#

k ty

still iris
#

where is camp drybone

warped nest
#

Eulmore, Ikea

simple shore
#

@still iris Eastern Thanalan

slate crow
#

This recent update added the postgame to ShB, right?

simple shore
#

"the postgame"?

#

Not really sure what you mean

little swift
#

it added the last bit of main SHB MSQ

slate crow
#

Postgame is what I thought was the colloquial term for the MSQ after the main story since it’s after expansion credits.

simple shore
#

Ehhh

#

I feel like that really only gets used in reference to ARR

#

for HW/SB/ShB, their "main story" gets wrapped up in the X.3 patch

#

and then the X.4-X.55 patches are setting up the next expansions

slate crow
#

So we don’t get the main story all at once?

keen fable
#

@little swift i looked in each inn, i couldn't find any leve quests

obsidian patio
#

Correct. Each major patch adds story to the MSQ

slate crow
#

Like, in HW, defeating Nidhogg the first time wasn’t there from the beginning?

little swift
#

should be a bluequest that unlocks leves in your first intro area

obsidian patio
#

Yep

slate crow
#

I always thought when the expansion came out, it was start to the end credits. XD

lone zephyr
#

What does squex usually do when there's a game anniversary?

keen fable
#

yeah, i can't find any

obsidian patio
#

Well there’s two end credits per expansion

#

One for beating the leveling story, and one at x.55 for completing the patch story

finite walrus
#

the rising is game anniversary iirc

lone zephyr
#

Wot?

little swift
#

hmm i'm assuming you're far enough in msq to have leves become available

finite walrus
#

seasonal event

keen fable
#

yeah, i'm at level 40 msq's

little swift
#

and no other areas have a bluequest of any kind?

slate crow
#

So is the full leveling story present at the start?

keen fable
#

ahp nevermind

#

found it

obsidian patio
#

Yes

keen fable
#

it wasn't showing up on the map at first

finite walrus
#

for most seasonal events you do a quest and get stuff like minions, glamour pieces, housing stuff and basically confetti

still iris
#

im trying to find more summoners quest but i cant what do i do

finite walrus
#

what lvl u at

still iris
#

52

finite walrus
#

theres a msq indicator

still iris
#

msq?

finite walrus
#

right under there is the job quest

#

in the corner

obsidian patio
#

You can’t do the level 52-60 job quests until you enter heavensward content

slate arrow
#

are you at ishgard yet

still iris
#

i am in heavensword conent

finite walrus
#

check old gridania the npc's usually there (?)

slate arrow
#

then keep doing the MSQ

still iris
#

also what is msq stand for

finite walrus
#

main story quest

slate arrow
#

main scenario quest

finite walrus
#

that

slate crow
#

So when the next expansion comes out, we’ll be able to do the 81-90 story straightaway, but the parts after that are added in patches.

obsidian patio
#

Yep

slate crow
#

Nice.

#

Thanks for the clarification.

#

I thought even the x1-y0 story was fragmented as well at first

lone zephyr
#

Is there some sort of account shared bank?

little swift
#

no there isn't

#

because there's not really a reason to have alt characters

#

especially alts on the same server

lone zephyr
#

Well true

slate crow
#

My alt is on the same server only because of my FC.

lone zephyr
#

FC?

little swift
#

free company

#

what this game calls player guilds

lone zephyr
#

Oh

robust crow
#

man, sargatanas character creation is rough isn't it

quasi mulch
#

Hey can I see all the new NieR Raid glam somewhere ? MonkaHmm

robust crow
#

even at 4am it's still closed

lone zephyr
#

Why is it so special?

frosty atlas
#

Hi. short question: With 5.3, is it still required to do collectible stuff to fly everywhere? (Have not unlocked it yet, but was looking forward to fly everywhere at the end of ARR)

finite walrus
#

no

#

never was

frosty atlas
#

So once I can fly, I can do it without bothering about anything anymore? That'd be soo cool

finite walrus
#

for hw/sb/shb zones to fly you just go around the map and do a few easy quests

#

for arr they just let you after some part in the msq

frosty atlas
#

Are those simple quests around 1-5 our around 20-40 hours?

solar surge
#

Is there a "most profitable" DoH/DoL job? Or are any but Culinarian good for gil?

finite walrus
#

1-5 for sure

frosty atlas
#

Ok great, thanks! Wouldnt want to repeat that WoW reputation grind

little swift
#

you still have to collect the aether currents

#

but its nothing like rep grinding

Hey i need some help, (i'm on free trial) i cannot conect with my character, Farys Mana on the louisoix server, i'm at limsa lominsa and i started the quest about the Housing but i go the Mist at the lower Noscea, but I clicked on the name of a resident to test and now I can no longer connect with my character, the game close by itself

simple shore
#

Ah yes, WoW flight unlock. "Fuck off for a year and we might let you have it". FF14 flight unlock will take like.....~15-20 minutes per zone tops outside of the MSQ for that zone.

#

Assuming you grab stuff as you go past it

Im pretty sure you can find people that would fly you to the aether currents

finite walrus
#

/shout in limsa works sometimes xd

simple shore
#

Either way its a simple process.

#

and if you're coming from WoW its hardly even worth considering it a "grind"

quasi mulch
#

You get all the aether currents in HW by following the Mainstory anyway

#

And for SB / ShB you have to "find" them on your own but its not too bad since you can look up the locations online :D

vestal needle
#

im lv 48, whats teh fastest way to lv 50?

frosty atlas
#

Coming from WoW is a bit of an overstatement. I've started playing with BfA and have not even unlocked flying yet ^^ One of the reasons I fancy with FF14

(not that I hate WoW, I find it pretty fun. But I like trying out stuff)

simple shore
#

Have you done your roulettes for the day? if not, do those. If you've done those, queue Aurum Vale

quasi mulch
#

@vestal needle Dailies

frosty atlas
#

It feels like they are missing endgame content and so they make something trivial as flying a hell of a grind (talking about Wow)

quasi mulch
#

Unlocking flying in FFXIV takes 1-2 hours max for each Expansions (SB / ShB)

frosty atlas
#

Thats good to hear, thanks!

gusty belfry
#

wows endgame is m+ and raiding

simple shore
#

wow's endgame is hoping for RNG to bless your items otherwise they're useless

#

FF14 has no such RNG fuckery, thankfully.

gusty belfry
#

very true

simple shore
#

Every job has an actual BIS list, and when the item drops, its the item.

quasi mulch
#

But FFXIV's endgame is glam x)

frosty atlas
#

I hope I get to the endgame at some point. Luckily, things start to get interesting now that I've unlocked my Job (Dragoon). Combat feels still like a GCD waiting game. Hope that will change at some point within the next few weeks...

slate arrow
#

There's only been one time endgame gear has had RNG and that was the eureka weapons

quasi mulch
#

It'll get better once you hit lvl 50-60 as DRG

gusty belfry
#

well the rng is really awful in wow especially with the endgame in BfA until they fixed it but I treally enjoy FF14 with it's drops

simple shore
#

@frosty atlas the GCD feels slow on all jobs in the stage of the game you're in. This is enhanced as you get higher and higher and have more oGCD stuff to weave in between your GCD's

frosty badger
#

what's a better stat for a tank? det or tenacity?

slate arrow
#

DRG has the slowest GCD of all the melee jobs, doubly so since you don't want SKS in order to not clip your animations

simple shore
#

Det

#

but only because Tenacity is shit

slate arrow
#

@frosty badger sks to tier > crit > direct hit/det(depending on the job) > everything else, basically

quasi mulch
#

So is there no way to see the new NieR glam except for asking ingame?

frosty atlas
#

Once I've hit Heavensward, I'll also try Machinist, that one looks fun as hell

crystal shoal
#

i was looking at logs

frosty atlas
#

I like dodging and shooting, I guess I can enjoy that one

polar depot
#

@polar depot login again? it happened with me on free trial
@finite walrus don't work, i try that many times

crystal shoal
#

and start wondering why monk is still in the game

frosty badger
#

sks?

slate arrow
#

Skill speed

simple shore
#

Tenacity is so bad that Tank BIS doesnt use a ilvl 500 helm.

quasi mulch
#

Machinist is fun yeah, you can spam a lot since you have 2 OGCD skills

crystal shoal
#

its pretty much like a more complicated and weaker version of SAM

frosty atlas
#

If I want something more interesting till Heavensward, what would you recommend? (I love movement and action instead of standing and animation lock)

crystal shoal
#

has some utility but doesnt justify the dmg difference at all

slate arrow
#

Monk is the fastest one in A Realm Reborn

crystal shoal
#

are there any monk mains?

quasi mulch
#

Summoner

simple shore
#

Hmm

quasi mulch
#

Try out the Summoner @frosty atlas

simple shore
#

Ninja is probably your best bet pre-HW if you want mobility

slate arrow
#

All the other jobs are kinda sorta spagetti due to removed skills and reworks at level 50

simple shore
#

but still melee

#

MNK mobility is a lie beacuse you're actually just doing hardcore positionals

slate arrow
#

*at level 50 and below

quasi mulch
#

Very mobile high DPS class (once you hit 80 obviously and have all the skills) plus you level two Jobs at the same time (Scholar and Summoner)

frosty atlas
#

Summoner is really interesting, I started playing as an Arcanist, but got really mad because it was so slow. Lancer seemed like a blessing after that.

crystal shoal
#

yeah mnk needs to constantly moving around the boss

quasi mulch
#

Every class is slow up till lvl 50-60 :D

frosty atlas
#

So it seems weird that summoner is that different. But I think I can grind my arcanist to 30 in one day

crystal shoal
#

for like 30 seconds of running around

#

the damage output is similar to two mederi setsugekko

quasi mulch
#

Its not that different, its slow as well but you're more mobile

crystal shoal
#

pls buff mnk

quasi mulch
#

At least for a mage

crystal shoal
#

all the classes are very slow up until lvl 70 ish

frosty atlas
#

I guess for the sake of pacing, I'll stick to Dragoon and try the Machinist after ARR

simple shore
#

Machinist is probably the most mobile job in the game

frosty atlas
#

Don't hype me @simple shore 😄 (Please continue doing so)

quasi mulch
#

He is

crystal shoal
#

especially if you come from action rpgs like blade&soul est

quasi mulch
#

Summoner and Machinist are the most mobile classes

frosty atlas
#

Nah any spark of hope that things get better is good to carry me through ARR, so no problem :p

crystal shoal
#

all the range physical are mobile

quasi mulch
#

The story of heavensward should carry you through ARR x)

crystal shoal
#

for dancers you even have dashes

frosty atlas
#

The story of heavensward should carry you through ARR x)
@quasi mulch That might be the case, but since I don't know the story of Heavensward, that is not a big motivation right now

#

But all those cool effects and animations and dodgeing in boss fights surely is. Later content looks so damn cool

quasi mulch
#

I mean you should be looking forward to a good story

#

Thats what got me through ARR

#

And I played the "pre nerf" (huehue) version of ARR

frosty atlas
#

Yeah, that's where I started too. I'm playing for around 2 weeks now. "Just to get into the game" was my motivation to start before 5.3. I've nearly quit before remembering why I was playing instead of waiting.

#

Now the EXP gain feels much higher (don't know if placebo?) and more rewarding

elfin wagon
#

if i use focus target on the tank as a healer on controller will my heals go to them if im not targeting a party member or will it still go to me

signal gull
#

when is the daily reset?

obsidian patio
#

zinc orbitBOT
#
Tick, Tock, Kupo!

0 Days, 5 Hours, 26 Minutes, 50 Seconds

obsidian patio
#

@elfin wagon they still default to you.

signal gull
#

thx

elfin wagon
#

dang :/

warped nest
#

@elfin wagon focus target is just so you keep track of their status

obsidian patio
#

I think this macro works in that it makes you target your focus target

/target <f>
tidal yarrow
#

how do I open list of parties?

simple shore
#

You can also macro a spell to cast at your focus target, but dont do it unless you know what you're getting yourself into

quasi mulch
#

@frosty atlas The EXP gain is higher because Square revamped ARR with the latest patch

warped nest
#

Party Finder...?

tidal yarrow
#

yes

warped nest
#

What Wynne recommend is fine though

#

It just target FT

#

It doesn't do all skill

#

Open Menu, look around, found Party Finder...?

obsidian patio
#

should be in the party category of menus

#

either there or social

warped nest
#

There are like 5-6 big categories in the menu

#

Just look through them....

elfin wagon
#

ill try it out ^^

warped nest
#

Personally speaking, (just personal opinion)

#

A macro just for target your FT is kinda ehhh

#

If you are on controller

#

Your party member at most is 4 dpad up or down away, in a 8 player party

#

I don't think it is worth taking a space off your primary crosshotbar to do this targetting

#

If you are on keyboard/mouse... Well... If you are clicking a macro anyway... Might as well click select the party member directly

vestal needle
#

is there anyway to find a lcoation on the map easier with just a name?

elfin wagon
#

i dont mind usin the dpad to target nd stuff it just gets kinda eh after awhile specifically as astro

warped nest
#

If it is a quest

#

You can just click the quest and it should open the map and bring up the location

#

@elfin wagon have you consider soft targeting?

#

Again, it is personal opinion

frosty atlas
#

Regarding third party software: Are accessiblity helpers allowed, that do not mess with FF14 game files or memory at all?
I alway like to use AutoHotKey in Tab Targeting MMOs to virtually hold my right mouse button and bind abilities to left and right mouse button (in combination with "target nearest enemy).
Like a semi-action-system. (MMO veterans always hate me for doing so, but I enjoy the games waaay more this way).
Don't want to voilate any rules though...

warped nest
#

You are free to make the game experience smooth for yourself

elfin wagon
#

soft targeting ?

warped nest
#

Gimme a sec

#

Phone

#

Brb

simple shore
#

AHK is a bit sketchy. I dont think that they can detect you using it, but i wouldnt discuss using it in game (or any other third party modifications/etc.)

warped nest
#

@elfin wagon when you target a party member or an enemy

#

You use dpad right

simple shore
#

because AHK, while not "bad" for what you're describing, is also commonly associated with various varieties of "not okay" things.

forest laurel
#

wait how come I didn't get any xp on wondrous tails? Thonk

warped nest
#

The flow is:
Use skill on enemy
Dpad down to find party member
Press X to lock target
Use another skill

forest laurel
#

I handed it in on a lvl 73brd

#

ohhh I have to get a brand new WT, my bad

warped nest
#

Under soft targeting, you can do:
Use skill on enemy
Dpad down to find party member
Press X to lock
Use another skill
you target back your enemy without doing any input

#

Think of soft targeting like a peek

#

For using a single skill on a target (enemy or party member)

elfin wagon
#

oohh yeah thats what ive been doing

final sandal
#

ok so i was just checking out new game+ for the first time, and for some reason return to ivalice in chronicles of a new era is missing, even though i cleared that questline

warped nest
#

Oh that's nice

#

Just making sure you are aware of all the options you have at your disposal when playing on controller

obsidian patio
#

@final sandal according to some people you may also need to do the fetch sidequests that want you to give the Dramaturge specific high-quality food

warped nest
#

If the /target <ft> macro makes it easy for you, why not

final sandal
#

hmm, looks like i have to remember how to get on that ship to check, thanks

obsidian patio
#

go to the airship landing west of the marketplace and there should be an NPC in there

warped nest
#

The bacon bread quest?

craggy pivot
#

what to do with this

forest laurel
#

go carpenter.

craggy pivot
#

what you mean go carpenter

forest laurel
#

exactly what I said.

warped nest
#

Are you a carpenter right now?

forest laurel
#

you're not carpenter.

elfin wagon
#

is there a delay on macros? when it comes to heals

forest laurel
#

yes

#

macros always have an inherent delay

warped nest
#

Yes, macro is very finicky

forest laurel
#

and the wait function only works in integers, so no stuff like 2.5 or 3.6 or 6.9

#

only 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

warped nest
#

That's why for combat, we are very reserved on what situations are macros recommended

craggy pivot
obsidian patio
#

you just have it unlocked

warped nest
#

Are you a carpenter right now?

final sandal
#

oh dear, it does look like i haven't done "In Bad Taste" yet

forest laurel
#

you only have it unlocked

obsidian patio
#

you need to equip the mainhand tool.

forest laurel
#

you need to equip the gear

obsidian patio
#

crafters are their own class entirely with their own stats and gear and actions

warped nest
#

You do know that carpenter is not a secondary class

#

And you can't just use carpeter skill while being a combat job right?

elfin wagon
#

ah i see rip

craggy pivot
#

what a retarded crafting system omg

warped nest
#

Seriously?

forest laurel
#

at least it's better than only ONE race being able to craft everything

warped nest
#

It is not what I think so it is retarded?

#

Crafting also comes with different skills

#

Gearing

forest laurel
#

what did you expect it to be like Thonk

craggy pivot
#

to craft something you need to change gear ... only asians in their mmos do shit like that

warped nest
#

And even skill rotation

slate arrow
#

but

#

This is an Asian mmo

I tried doing a search on here but couldn't find D:

Crafting in this game is not one click and stuff get made btw

Just so you don't get mad a few hours later

Are all quests character based? Only completable once? Except the repeatables?

tidal yarrow

@neat stratus yeah

forest laurel
#

all quests are character based yes

slate arrow
#

Everything is character based unless otherwise mentioned

obsidian patio
#

@tidal yarrow if that's the one where he charges across the entire arena you need to stand in the holes he makes to dodge it

vestal needle
#

what expansions are included with the free trial?

tidal yarrow
#

nope it's a big sword attack

simple shore
#

@tidal yarrow if its the one im thinking of, he just turns in a direction and then shoots it in a line in that direction. So just dont be in front of him.

tidal yarrow
#

in a straight line

warped nest
#

Heavensward

slate arrow
#

There's no AoE indicators so just

tidal yarrow
#

ah oki

proud willow
#

The free trial covers 1-60, which is A Realm Reborn (base game) and Heavensward

slate arrow
#

Don't stand in front of him

tidal yarrow
#

fair enough

low swallow
#

how do you get silver scripts

obsidian patio
#

white scrips come from level 78-ish to level 80 collectables

#

also from custom deliveries when done as a level 80 crafter/gatherer.

warped nest
#

Basically, endgame stuff

low swallow
#

is there a location where i can find that collectable person to begin the silver script quest?

obsidian patio
#

you don't need to do a quest for white scrips specifically

warped nest
#

There is no... Quest

simple shore
#

Just to clarify

#

you keep calling them silver script

#

which doesnt exist

#

are you talking about white scrip, or maybe something else?

low swallow
#

i think so

#

i need lvl 80 weaver gear an its the only way to get them

simple shore
#

Okay yes then you mean white scrips

low swallow
#

so where the npc i talk to so i can do their collectable quest?

warped nest
#

There is no quest

#

You talk to them

#

They open a UI

#

There are stuff you can turn in, and rewards listed there

low swallow
#

where can i find one to talk to?

simple shore
#

Pretty much any major city has a collectable appraiser

obsidian patio
#

and the endgame hubs

simple shore
#

Although in this case, Crystarium/Eulmore would be most sensible for you

obsidian patio
#

Limsa, Ul'Dah, Gridania, Mor Dhona, Idyllshire, Rhalgr's Reach, Eulmore.

simple shore
#

given thats where you spend them also

past lantern
#

Haven't played in few months like 3-4 months. Was there any big class changes that I should be aware of?

lone zephyr
#

How can i get the bard class?

proud willow
#

5.3 was the only major patch in the past 4 months and it didn't have any huge class changes. you can skim the patch notes though

simple shore
#

BRD got buffed somewhat. SMN got trivially nerfed. MNK got very slight QoL improvement. WAR became even more smoothbrain than before had Storm's Eye made easier to maintain.

simple shore
#

That's the TL;DR on combat job changes

obsidian patio
#

for a link to the class changes in 5.3

foggy viper
#

Is there anything else I should know about changing GCs? Most searches are several years old

obsidian patio
#

you can't use your squadron until you get back to 2nd lieutenant.

proud willow
#

@lone zephyr after you hit 30 and do your level 30 Archer quest, there should be a quest to unlock Bard in the Archer guild (assuming that you've done the story quests up through level 21)

obsidian patio
#

You also have to pay a gil fee for switches past the first one. I think the current cost is like 25k or 50k?

foggy viper
#

Im just about to name my chocobo if that helps

obsidian patio
#

then it literally doesn't matter to you as you can't switch GCs until you get to 2nd Lieutenant.

simple shore
#

Switching GC's is also, functionally, purely a "thematic/cosmetic" thing.

foggy viper
#

Do I get 3 chocobos across all 3 or something?

obsidian patio
#

you keep it when switching

simple shore
#

There's no reason to switch unless you want a glamour from a different one, more or less

proud willow
#

you keep the same bird but get different-looking barding for it

foggy viper
#

So same name, stats, lvl, cosmetic etc.?

obsidian patio
#

yes

foggy viper
#

Ok, thx!

obsidian patio
#

the chocobo isn't touched at all

warped nest
#

Btw, any GC related gears or barding only works if you are still under said GC

#

So if you swap to immortal, your serpent stuff just stays in your inventory and can't be used

#

Until you swap back to serpent

lone zephyr
#

Uhh bards can do like, instrument emotes right? Or that's from an event

foggy viper
#

Glamour still works right?

warped nest
#

@foggy viper noooope

neat stratus
#

How long do you think it will take to level second jobs from 1-70 with the road to 70 buff and the "alt" buff?

warped nest
#

how hard can you play?

obsidian patio
#

3-5 days depending on how much per day you can play

#

if you really want to grind it

warped nest
#

Well... It takes around 7 dungeon run ish to get 2 level without big buff

simple shore
#

Not really

#

With Road to 70 and external buffs its not even close to 7

#

More like 1-2

foggy viper
#

Dam, should've checked what stuff they had before I picked

warped nest
#

I haven't include the buff yet, Bal

#

Road to 70 itself double every, so 7 run would yield 4 level ish give or take half a level

#

Plus the occasional rested exp you get and the armory bonus...

simple shore
#

Road to 70 doubles those too though

#

As i said, from 1-70 it will only take 1-2 dungeons per level

neat stratus
#

@warped nest how many hours then :p ? And not days as that can vary

warped nest
#

3 dungeon run, if went smoothly, should be an hour or so total, so 20 mins per dungeon

#

Ignoring wait time

#

So if it takes around 80 dungeons to get from lvl 15-70

lone zephyr
#

Uhh bards can do like, instrument emotes right? Or that's from an event
Someone? ; - ;

warped nest
#

Then it is around 18 hours

#

So a weekend

simple shore
#

....your math is still dreadfully wrong

warped nest
#

Of very hard dungeon grinding

neat stratus
#

That's crazy haha :p

warped nest
#

15 to 70 is 55 level, you said it is 1-2 run per level

simple shore
#

It will be much faster than he is stating

warped nest
#

Unless you mean 1 dungeon gives 1-2 level

simple shore
#

I mean that early on

#

you will get multiple levels per dungeon

#

and later you will get 1 per run

#

Road to 70 doubles every other bonus also

warped nest
#

OK, fine, 8 hours

obsidian patio
#

@lone zephyr that's the performance feature, which is unlocked in Gridania once you have bard unlocked

simple shore
#

It was very common for me to be rolling with ~350%-400% bonus

neat stratus
#

I had like 460% I think on kills below 30

simple shore
#

Yup

#

Below 30 is where its most broken because you can stack the most bonuses at once there

warped nest
#

I'm just gonna stick with "over a weekend if you play hard" for my future answers

leaden ginkgo
#

@obsidian patio Is Archer/Bard pretty decent for early to late game?

obsidian patio
#

all jobs are good.

simple shore
#

There's no such thing as a bad job

leaden ginkgo
#

Well, that’s good to know.

#

Now is it better to stick to one combat class until 70 or play around in others?

simple shore
#

Are you on a preferred server, or not?

leaden ginkgo
#

I know the story levels you up.

#

Not yet, I’m waiting on my game to finish.

#

Downloading*

simple shore
#

If you're on preferred, picking up some others is a good idea because you'll outlevel the MSQ like crazy.

leaden ginkgo
#

But I’ve played before. Been a very long time so I’m trying to refresh.

#

Yeah, I planned on doing a preferred server.

#

The biggest downer was not being able to start building a house with my Free Company so after a couple of months we decided to find a low populated server.

simple shore
#

I'm not aware of any servers that arent pretty much in zero availability for housing.

#

So i wouldnt get your hopes up on that aspect

leaden ginkgo
simple shore
#

TL;DR SE decided to turn off auto-demolish because of COVID.

leaden ginkgo
#

Honestly that’s pretty fair.

simple shore
#

End result is that there's no housing available anywhere.

#

Unless you want to go via secondary markets and pay through the nose

leaden ginkgo
#

In other words, I need to wait it out like everyone else.

#

I’m not sure which server I’ll join since the other two people I play with will have to transfer.

signal gull
#

is there an vsync option in this game?

south yarrow
#

yo i saw some ppl with a cool looking grimoire for smn, was wondering whats the difference between mimesis lux and mimesis lux replica, and also which i should go for?

quasi widget
#

mimesis lux has actual stats, but now its still just glamour pieces

obsidian patio
#

replicas are basically stat-free versions that you can easily get after getting the actual version

quasi widget
#

you'll unlock the replica after unlock that form

obsidian patio
#

!faq anima

zinc orbitBOT
south yarrow
#

oh so i unlock the main one and then i can get replicas for other classes?

quasi widget
#

no just for that one

obsidian patio
#

you need to upgrade the one you want replicas for

quasi widget
#

you need to do the 'grind' for each job

#

but the anima weapons really dont take long nowadays

south yarrow
#

but whats the point of having more than 1 then

crimson notch
#

If i buy now the 50% off complete edition, how long can i wait till i activate it in my free account?

obsidian patio
#

@south yarrow I'm not sure if I completely understand what you mean. If you mean having a replica and original of the same thing then you're right there's no point.

opaque maple
#

Is there any way to get high quality buffalo milk? The vendors only seem to sell normal quality

quasi widget
#

If i buy now the 50% off complete edition, how long can i wait till i activate it in my free account?
@crimson notch free trial has no time limit, but the max level is 60

obsidian patio
#

But you can only get replicas of previous steps until you complete the whole thing, which would then let you buy a replica of the final step so you can safely toss the final step if you wish.

#

@opaque maple kill buffalos

opaque maple
#

Do they drop it?

south yarrow
#

yeah i meant that, if you're just using them for glamour i dont see the point of replicas

#

but thanks

karmic niche
#

😦 i am dumb i didnt bought the collector editions

#

sigh

warped nest
#

Sometimes they can drop HQ milk yes

opaque maple
#

Ok ty

karmic niche
#

i didnt get the earring and other stuff

crimson notch
#

i mean. how long can i wait to use the 50% off code after buying it in the squeenix shop? do i need to use it right away? i want to wait till lvl 60, which may take weeks

south yarrow
#

i thought the only skin glamour that was so timeconsuming was the yellow bright one with like clocks and stuff, but looks like this one is also haaaaaaaaard to get lol

#

since i got the relic for 485 weapon pretty easily

obsidian patio
#

the 485 is only easy since that's just the beginning step

#

for the anima you're looking at the whole thing that was added over the course of the expansion

#

And even then, Anima is probably the easiest/fastest of the relic series to complete your first time through

#

(not counting Resistance since it's not done yet)

karmic niche
#

i dont know how long the code last

obsidian patio
#

game codes don't expire

south yarrow
#

oh so its the process i see

karmic niche
#

well there is your answer

#

so keep the code

#

and dont lose it

crimson notch
#

i see. thank you

karmic niche
#

until you get to 60

obsidian patio
#

Yeah, so to refer back to the anima guide i linked, the initial steps that were added at the start were the i170, i200, and i210

Hi everyone, newbie question here, sorry if it's been asked a billion times already: download FFXIV on Steam or not? What are your recommendations?

quasi widget
#

if you know what youre doing you can get the anima relic in like a week ish

#

really short

karmic niche
#

no

obsidian patio
#

@orchid bramble either is fine, just be aware that if you buy the game on steam you must launch from steam, along with buying future expansions from steam.

#

So if you ever get your steam account banned you lose access to your account

orchid bramble
#

Oh geez, yeah I heard about that from some forums online, I'll probably keep it out of the Steam then 👍

karmic niche
#

yeah

#

so buy it from SE

lone dawn
#

If i wanna play all released content . Do i need to buy each expansion up the the newest one ? Or only the newest one + sub ?

orchid bramble
#

Will do, guess I'll go ahead and get the complete version then... thanks for the help!

karmic niche
#

complete edition

#

get all the expansion

hot eagle
#

If i wanna play all released content . Do i need to buy each expansion up the the newest one ? Or only the newest one + sub ?
@lone dawn old expansion are bundled with the newest one, so u only need to get arr/ starter and shadowbringer or the complete edition

#

slate arrow

leaden ginkgo
#

slate arrow

#

slate arrow
#

#

you can't learn new spells with materia

heady knot
#

o i misunderstand

#

ok lol

#

so can i get more offensive spell as cnh

#

cnj

slate arrow
#

yes, by leveling

heady knot

shrewd owl
#

make sure u go get ur white mage job stone btw now that ur level 30

leaden ginkgo
#

augmented neoish wep>resistance wep?

obsidian patio
#

roughly equal

#

depends on the exact secondary stats.

#

Resistance has the advantage of +180 more secondary stats through the 3 extra open meld slots

#

To use WHM as an example, their Resistance weapon is Crit/Det while the unaugmented Crystarium is crit/piety.

#

so a Resistance weapon for them with 5 DH VIII or 4 DH VIII + 1 Det VIII makes it comparable/slightly better.

heady knot
#

@shrewd owl how do i do that?

solemn delta
#

For a melee like SAM though it has crit and DH on the Neo katana. It would end up being slightly better than the relic right?

shrewd owl
#

you've been doing your class quests right?
class quest giver should have the quest to give you your job

#

@heady knot

heady knot
#

so basically continue the class quest line

#

ok

shrewd owl
#

ye

heady knot
#

ty

halcyon lynx
#

If I’m in my leveling roulette before the reset but finish it after the reset, can I still do it again for the new day?

solemn delta
#

No

#

Unless they changed it

#

Reset is hours away though. So no worries there 👌

gritty oracle
#

Where can I buy gatherer masterbooks in Crystarium?

stiff osprey
#

is there a generally agreed upon best third party meter?

faint meadow
#

ACT

stiff osprey
#

thanks

#

can you parse your own logs, or does it require an external parser?

tender hull
#

is FFXIV CDN really bad

#

apparently, they stop throttling the download speeds at random times

#

idk how that that works

tidal yarrow
#

is there a casting bar of fury's bolt?

faint meadow
#

@stiff osprey haven't had much experience with parsing itself. I'm still just leveling and not. Doing end game content regularly

jaunty ruin
#

can someone tell me the name of the quest of which ill get my first mount? I'm currently lvl 25 doing lvl 20 main quests. Just done the first lvl 20 dungeon

faint meadow
#

My little chocobo

#

It'll be in gridania at level 30

jaunty ruin
#

I was told it's a lvl 20 main quest

faint meadow
#

Oh youre right it is

vestal needle
#

Is it okay to buy armor and weapons from the main city npc?

stiff osprey
#

@jaunty ruin it's a level 20 quest, but you realistically won't get to it till 25~

faint meadow
#

Level 30 is the quest to actually have your chocobo fight mb

#

@vestal needle if it has better stats than what you're wearing rn then yea

#

Though, stuff from the vendors starts getting more expensive the further you get into the game so

#

Do try to focus on getting as much free gear as you can

jaunty ruin
#

@jaunty ruin it's a level 20 quest, but you realistically won't get to it till 25~
@stiff osprey ty c:

hey if i transfer a chjaracter from one server to another, can i trasnfer soon after? how long is the wait till i can retransfer

twilit arch
#

if you transfer to a standard servers its a 3 day cd, if you transfer to a preferred its 90days

hallow nimbus
#

Hello, how long does it usually take for accounts to show up on MogStation? I made an account like two hours ago and it still hasn't shown up on that site.

frosty badger
#

I haven't noticed any new items available in exchange for achievement certificates.. is it only me?

obsidian patio
#

They don’t constantly add things to it

#

Most recent addition was the headband thing in 5.1 IIRC

sick glen
#

in palace of death what happen if someone go to the next floor alone with all his party dead

frosty badger
#

but this was mentioned in 5.3 notes..

plain python
#

dumb question, but where to check if my account's region is NA or EU?

obsidian patio
#

Oh that’s for a barding headpiece that used to be from a sidequest that got removed.

#

So technically new addition to the achievement store but not an actual new item

plain python
#

I heard I need to buy the correct Complete Edition for my account's region.

twilit arch
#

mogstation > square enix account settings > account information > region

tropic summit
#

oi Kaelwryn, would you still recommend doing the Facet quests as WVR, CUL, GSM post-5.3?

#

Dunno if the collectables changed

twilit arch
#

it doesn't matter tbh since restoration is a decent alternative for those

#

can do the facet quests on whatever you like at this point

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a website that lists all macros for DOH/DOL for current patch?

tropic summit
#

Maybe not but I'm also unsure how much yellow scrips I'm in need of to gear up

leaden ginkgo
#

and is the green gear ilvl490 the bis for now?(I really don't do DOH/DOl stuff since now)

obsidian patio
#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
tropic summit
#

but good to hear there's more freedom to it

#

🙇

obsidian patio
#

Yes the new crafted set in 5.3 is the new best stuff

twilit arch
#

can look on teamcraft for macros if the balance hasn't updated

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks to both of you!

sick glen
#

in palace of death if the whole party die would the next floors be counted or we have to reset?

warped nest
#

Pretty sure you just get kicked out

acoustic osprey
#

question, for BM at lvl 45 you get the thunder mastery, it says it turns your thunder 1 to thunder 3

#

then you also learn thunder 3 as a skill at level 45

warped nest
#

Yup

sick glen
#

after we died should we start from floor 1?

acoustic osprey
#

why is it so weird

#

so now i have 2 thunder 3?

#

at lvl 45

twilit arch
#

no

#

it changes whatever button you have thunder 1 on into thunder 3

#

so instead of having to put two skills on your hotbars, you have 1

#

and whenever you're level sync'd down below 45, it converts back into thunder 1

acoustic osprey
#

oh

#

okok

warped nest
#

It is basically a potency + animation upgrade

lavish vortex
#

Are blades of golden antiquity still capped at 1 per week?

wet cradle
#

can we farm the books of fulmination (e5s) multiple times per week

twilit arch
#

yes, agustin

wet cradle
#

or is it limited of 1 per week?

twilit arch
#

no, savage is still weekly locked

lavish vortex
#

Thanks!

wet cradle
#

thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

okay so if i'm to make a character on Crystal, and am interested in both RP and content clearing

#

what's my best bet

barren flax
#

is there any other NPCs like the scavenger guy in Idyllshire that sells crafting mats?

lavish vortex
#

How do you get the new ephemeral necromancer minion?

twilit arch
#

from the new dungeon

faint flare
#

Rare drop from the dungeon

lavish vortex
#

It’s in chests After defeating final boss? Or necromancer boss?

twilit arch
#

final boss chest

faint flare
#

Final boss

lavish vortex
#

Thanks!

#

And what are the seat of sacrifice extreme rewards?

faint flare
#

495 weapons

#

And mount

lavish vortex
#

Nice, thanks!

faint flare
#

Along with standard music and mat to make the barding/house item

lavish vortex
#

🤙

leaden ginkgo
#

Are the weapons random drop too?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Always 1 weapon

tidal yarrow
#

is there any reason why I can't use crit hit materia on anything? it says +0

#

I have full neo ilv490

#

samurai

proud willow
#

Every piece of gear has a substat cap

#

You can see it at the bottom of the meld window

#

If it already has as much crit as it can hold, any crit materia will give +0

tidal yarrow
#

ugh

#

maybe I chose a wrong gear for my sam

faint flare
#

Or using wrong melds

tidal yarrow
#

mh?

#

I simply use materia viii and it says +0 from eulmore materia melder

karmic niche
#

aeolian scimitar only obtainable by crafting?

faint flare
#

Then you meld whats next in your priority list

karmic niche
#

or i can find it in a dungeon?

tidal yarrow
#

direct hit is priority after crit

faint flare
#

Then meld DH

tidal yarrow
#

that's what I did but no crit almostshook

faint flare
#

Thats fine

#

If gear can't take more of a stat you just move down the priority list

tidal yarrow
#

gotcha

stone tartan
#

New player here. Are Allaghan Tome of Poetics easy to come by? Should I spend them on Level 115 gear?

faint flare
#

Yes they're very plentiful

tidal yarrow
#

they're very easy to get honestly if you do your dailies

desert blade
faint flare
#

Also get the i130 gear

#

Its asking for the code you're given when buying the game

desert blade
#

i didnt buy it just trial

faint flare
#

Then you didn't download the trial launcher

desert blade
#

oh o.o theres a different one? haha ok

faint flare
#

!faq gotrial

No tag named gotrial exists, Kupo!

Crafting Recipe
Requirement
Level 50* Blacksmith

Ingredients
3 Fire Crystal, 2 Earth Crystal, 1 Blunt Aeolian Scimitar, 1 Darksteel Nugget, 1 Basilisk Whetstone

#

@karmic niche however an identical model drops in Halatali too

mossy tartan
#

By how much percent does a tank’s LB3 reduce damage taken?

karmic niche
#

oh

faint flare
#

80

#

%

mossy tartan
#

wow

desert blade
#

ty bty 🙂

past frigate
#

titania N vs warring triads 3 bosses hard . Which is harder?

agile laurel
#

thus the reasoning the only times you really NEED a tank LB3 is for forced mechanics or really weird cheese strats

faint flare
#

Eh probably titana very slightly

agile laurel
#

seeing as warring triad doesn't have a normal diff

past frigate
#

so I probably can steamrolled through it then

faint flare
#

Yes

agile laurel
#

i'd say titania just due to it being much easier to get rolled by the incompetency of others

#

which you only really get on zurvan otherwise

past frigate
#

ok thanks

faint flare
#

Ultimates

agile laurel
#

you don't just 'get in'

karmic niche
#

how do i get a relic reborn: The chimera?

faint flare
#

It takes over 110hours to clear

#

On average

agile laurel
#

ultimate is the sort of thing you apply to groups and get vetted for

faint flare
#

In a static

agile laurel
#

you need logs, progress, and provable skill

faint flare
#

Everything will kill you IMMEDIATELY

proud willow
#

@karmic niche it unlocks as part of the ARR relic weapon quest

agile laurel
#

if you just join a random group of chucklefucks you're doomed to fail instantaneously

faint flare
#

Its not something you do for lols

#

There is no read circles

agile laurel
#

lmao

proud willow
#

just as a heads up: it's not a good idea to do the ARR relic if you are still only around level 50. There is a MUCH faster way to get a superior weapon

karmic niche
#

it doesnt show on my trial list lol

agile laurel
#

assuming ultimate has any telegraphed mechanics whatsoever

karmic niche
#

i just want to unlock the dungeon lol

agile laurel
#

no

faint flare
#

No

proud willow
#

Look under Trial instead of Dungeon

karmic niche
#

yeah i did

faint flare
#

ROOM WIDE aoes will kill you in ultimates

agile laurel
#

so yeah, ultimate is not just something you get the ilvl for and then go do

#

that's laughable

faint flare
#

You need proper mitigation and healing for everything

#

Every mechanic is Light rampart but worse

karmic niche
#

lol is weird haha

proud willow
#

can you take a screenshot of the part of the quest that you're on?

agile laurel
#

Because clearing in an unorganised group of unproven players is frankly not possible

proud willow
#

if it's telling you to queue for Chimera, it should be in your Duty Finder list for sure

faint flare
#

Ultimates arent something.you just qur for or use party finder

#

You'll never clear in a million years

karmic niche
#

like is not there lol

agile laurel
#

if any group is, anecdotally, taking anybody that applies, they're doomed

#

straight up

proud willow
#

the quest step says to go to the Weeping Saint

#

it should unlock there

karmic niche
#

i think i am blind

faint flare
#

No
