What is melding when talking about materia?
robust crow
is there a recommended way to gather gatherer's white scrips after custom deliveries are done for the week?
regal heath
Hey guys Im starting my first anima weapon and going for Aettir
For the Coming Into Its Own section, which would you say is the best method to get the weapon materials?
robust crow
for the entirety of anima
little swift
Is that the unidentifiable stuff and the seals?
agile laurel
i believe it is
little swift
Poetics for unidentifiable
robust crow
it's going to be some combination of poetics/GC seals/blue scrip tokens
agile laurel
mainly the unidentifiables
little swift
Gc seals for the 16 items
regal heath
Yeah its the stuff from Poetics, Seals, Alexander
little swift
80k seals and 7k poetics or something like that
regal heath
Is the Alexander bit nor farmable or is there a lock out?
agile laurel
and if you'd rather burn gil you can just buy the things
stone hollow
whats the materia slots on my gear and how do i add stuff there
agile laurel
!faq melding
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
No lockout for alex stuff
regal heath
@agile laurel You can just buy the stuff for the handins?
little swift
Yes @regal heath
regal heath
also if theres no lockout for Alex stuff wouldnt that just be the easiest way to farm the handins?
Or is he not soloable?
little swift
That step has market tradable items that are also obtained from seals
Its more time consuming to get enough tokens since you don't always get what you need
regal heath
So I guess the best way is just a combination of all the things?
regal heath
Well hopefully its not too bad, I hear its the grindiest bit of getting the Lux weapon
What would you consider enough rank?
little swift
Its easier on subsequent weapons
Iirc second lt is what you need to unlock the items in the shop
regal heath
Ah got that
Thanks for the advice guys
Oh I did have another question, will I still need to find crafters for it?
Im assuming yes
gritty oracle
With the new ishgard phase, will we be getting new materials and recipes? (aka can I vendor all mats that I know I won't use soon and don't sell well on mb?)
nah
you can buy the 16 crafted items for 80k GC seals total
you can bypass most grindy steps with enough poetics
or GC seals
regal heath
Ah okay thats good because I really didnt want to grind another DOH
gritty oracle
except light farm and the instances you have to complete
but light farm is like half an hour of unsyncing a9s
turbid crystal
I’m doing my msq to get to lv80, currently at 49, when should I start to look into slotting materia?
little swift
The new phase should likely have grade 3 approved materials
gritty oracle
@turbid crystal at level 80
regal heath
Yeah Im pretty happy I can just unsync the dungeon steps ngl
little swift
At endgame@turbid crystal substats aren't super important until then
And even then its not

Thanks

anyone know when the mogstation section to update my subcription will be on again? i tried to renew mine but it says is on maint D:

@crude ginkgo Red mage is middle of the pack DPS right now. Not great, but idt it's trash tier either. But it has amazing utility in the form of Verraise, which can chain resurrect as long as the red mage has mana. Plus it's pretty mobile for a caster.

Hey guys, i recently started playing again and wanted to know if there is a general guide on how to gear up and play all dungeons/raids i missed, i finished shadowbringers and the easiest version of the first eden raid, would really appreciate it!:) (repost cause i got ignored)
gritty oracle
and when you install, it's the first question the game asks
leaden ginkgo
@simple shore what do you mean it's a bad idea?
simple shore
Hotbar paging on MKB
its unnecessary and slow compared to just having another hotbar
gritty oracle
@random bane If you have gil, get neo ishgard. Otherwise, do msq dungeons and grind up allegory for crystarium, as well as gear up from the dungeons themselves.
Memoria misera gives you tokens that give 480 gear, it's an ex trial
480 left side*
minus belt
wispy parcel
@leaden ginkgo he meant that to the guy before you
gritty oracle
the role quests give you 430 gear, iirc that's enough to continue the msq for the higher gear giving dungeons
random bane
so just msq and im not gonna miss any content since 5.0? since there were some dungeon you had to do specific quests to unluck them like twinning

umm, there's thw twinning, akademia anyder, the alliance raids, Eden...

Thats 460 gear

Just do Eden verse normal for the ilvl and get the relic weapon

I think you might be able to just buy them directly
crude marten
The shops changed :(
faint flare
Haven checked
wintry chasm
once you do the patch 3.3 main story
It's not so much that the Ishgard thing is really fast but rather that it's really simple and easy to get materials for
leves are just as fast but the materials change a lot and are generally more of a pain
keen fable
ah okay
wintry chasm
It wouldn't hurt to wait with crafting till you've done 3.3
wintry chasm
gatherers you could start now but I'm a bit hesitant to say it's a good idea since you'll be needing better gatherer gear eventually which you'd need to pay for or level up crafting
Oh actually
If you unlock the Ixal beast tribe you can use that to level crafters for now

all of my crafters are close to 20 anyways, so that's good

what level is the 3.3 main story at approximately?

they transitioned from 1.0 to 2.0 by using a meteor
hence the term meteor survivors

thats pretty nice to pay tribute

We dont know cause its not started @frank wigeon
thorn mantle
oh so the meteor was the end of 1.0? i only know the original was trash and got replaced XD
remote lintel
yes

they canonically trashed it in game by having the calamity
which is the meteor descending

Its the very opening cutscene you see

so all the ppl who mention the "calamity" are talking about the meteor

it is a lore thing but it's not super vital to the story

Any idea around what quest @scarlet arrow ? I dont like being in full Ironworks except for 1 ring

also when you finish your level 50 job quest you get a set of lvl 90 gear

You'll get poetics when you start level 50 content. If you're not doing level 50 content yet, there's no rush to get level 50 gear.

At lv80, which class has more off global attacks to weave in regularly: DRK or GNB?
grave thicket
did they nerf the amount of allegories you get from chests on Treasure Maps lvl 80 dungeons?
lime pendant
what does WT mean in duty finder?
remote lintel
wondrous tails
@halcyon grail probably gnb
DRK doesnt really weave except in its burst phase
halcyon grail
Burst phase?
remote lintel
yes drk has burst phases
simple shore
Eh, i think DRK probably still uses more oGCD's total?
Zone is 30s, Bow Shock is 60s, and Continuation is effective 3 every ~30 seconds
I use way more than that on DRK
pallid cipher
What's the best way to farm grand company ranks?
simple shore
Depends on your level
pallid cipher
I'm lvl 50, just before the end of ARR
halcyon grail
I want to like DRK, but it just has so many things to pop off when a fight goes off?
simple shore
That's most jobs
Every job is significantly more busy during their opener than they are during normal rotation
halcyon grail
I typically go in with Plunge and an immediate attack, then start up darkside, then activate the mp buff, then a defensive
remote lintel
drk doesnt even really have a busy opener

Hi guys! I played till middle of stormblood in 2019, then due to RL i had to quit. I went on losing my acc (forgot anything about the email used lol) and now I will buy ARR+HS story skip and a lvl 70 boost to scholar. Now my question : can I just go on and become a Gunbreaker??
simple shore
Eh, its a little busy
remote lintel
you should see ninja and smn
not compared to others
if anything gnb would be the more busy job
surreal geyser
So I watched the Larryzaur video there. Just in general what is the consensus on Dancer? That sounds like a neat class
agile laurel
It's good
simple shore
Dancers good, but its very RNG heavy
halcyon grail
Let me rephrase: DRK's glut of off-global use doesn't quite... flow with me.
agile laurel
Dancer is exactly how it's described, lowish personal dps and nuts dps buffing
wide cave
I want to see the stormblood story though, Ill just play through it as Gunbreaker, thats why I asked 🙂
remote lintel
yeah i just skimmed the first part of your question smashy
wide cave
and I played gunbreaker in my last playthrough
halcyon grail
my GNB is only at 60, and it felt... much smoother, for lack of a better term?
wide cave
I dont want to be a burden xd
pallid cipher
So ye, how to farm Grand Company ranks at lvl 50 before HW? 🤔
halcyon grail
I didnt feel as rushed
wide cave
ok thanks! Im so grateful they offer these skip items, I couldnt play through ARR again. As much as heavensward hyped me up, ARR was a slugfest for me.
patent citrus
what are classes with least to most oGCD ranked?
remote lintel
@halcyon grail most classes double weave between their GCDs
wide cave
25 euros for both skips I need is smth im more than willing to spend
patent citrus
if anyone knew all classes
remote lintel
tanks are more GCD heavy
halcyon grail
WAR is painfully unga bunga
agile laurel
Tanks and Samurai if you don't count random shinten spam
wide cave
is astro viable rn?
remote lintel
yes
agile laurel
yes
simple shore
All jobs are viable.
halcyon grail
I got WAR to 60 and... it felt a bit stale?
wide cave
hmmm
agile laurel
War for me wasn't fun until like 73 or whatever gave gauge from tempest
halcyon grail
A bit too uncomplicated
patent citrus
yeah i'm among those 150-200 ms players, not using ping as excuses just wanted to know the rank of classes sorted by number of oGCD
wide cave
is scholar or astro more fun to play? (sry I know very subjective)
remote lintel
imo AST definitely
simple shore
Astro has alot more going on.
remote lintel
its busier
patent citrus
so I can inform myself
wide cave
alrighty then
simple shore
also AST can pretend to be a WHM, which means its superior
remote lintel

kind eagle
Do i try starting e1s or e5s
kind eagle
But i have to start from 1 to get all the loot?
remote lintel
no
simple shore
I mean, have you never done savage before?
remote lintel
1-4 and 5-8 are different sections
kind eagle
Nope i didnt do savage
simple shore
Okay, then, question
kind eagle
I wanna try blind
simple shore
What is the hardest thing you've done
remote lintel
you shouldnt do savage blind
kind eagle
Hardest thing
simple shore
Nobody does Savage blind except for week 1 lol
kind eagle
Titan extreme
simple shore
Okay
You need to work on some stuff in the middle then
Going from Titan EX (an easy fight by todays EX standards) directly to Savage will be brutal
median locust
Yes, Savage is a lot harder than Titan EX
simple shore
I would suggest you try to take on either memoria misera EX or SoS EX. Preferably the latter because it will have relevance
kind eagle
Titan is easy??
simple shore
Yes
median locust
I'd recommend at least trying out Ruby Weapon EX or Memoria Miseria EX before jumping into Savage
kind eagle
So
simple shore
taking on SoS EX would be a good way to get yourself ready
kind eagle
E8N is considered very easy?
simple shore
Normal anything is considered easy
faint flare
Yes
simple shore
If it has N its easy.
median locust
It has more going on than Titan EX but it's way more forgiving
EX fights are like
1-2 mistakes you die
Or if you die at the wrong place and/or the wrong time
You kill the entire party as well
remote lintel
e8n is casual content
kind eagle
Is it possible to solo titan
median locust
At level 80 yes
simple shore
Unsync'd sure
remote lintel
titan ex? yes
red sail
say, how do i get gear for later classes ? is there a vendor that sells all gear for all levels ?
kind eagle
Like avoid stucking in the rock
simple shore
At 80 you just delete him in like 2 hits
median locust
If you do get stuck in it, it'll deal a little damage to you then let you out anyway
faint flare
The rock doesn't kill you at 80
kind eagle
Can u avoid that
median locust
It doesn't kill you in one hit at level 80
kind eagle
If solo?
median locust
Yes
faint flare
And yes, you just phase him before he does it
simple shore
Or.....just kill him so fast he cant do it
kind eagle
Problem is berserk mode?
simple shore
There's....no problem
median locust
No problems at all
kind eagle
Yall insane
simple shore
its braindead easy at 80 to just go delete him
median locust
We're not insane
faint flare
Every job can solo Arr extremes pretty much
median locust
It's actually extremely easy at level 80
median locust
Just don't get knocked off the arena
faint flare
And you just murder them
median locust
And you can survive everything else even if you get hit
kind eagle
Lv80 with ilv480?
faint flare
Yes
simple shore
Yes
kind eagle
Or 500
median locust
any item level
faint flare
Dancer literally just dances
faint flare
And they phase
median locust
It's REALLY EASY
faint flare
In hard mode its a wipe
kind eagle
Umsych
median locust
If you queued normally, it was synced
faint flare
If you get cage
kind eagle
I was doing it alone
faint flare
But EX its not
kind eagle
Extreme instantly die when cage?
simple shore
No
median locust
You can't
kind eagle
Oh
simple shore
But, you just shouldnt be getting caged in the first place
simple shore
Like unless you just have no clue how to play your job, Titan should be dying so fast that he never gets the opportunity.
remote lintel
you can kill titan before he jails
median locust
After a while the cage just says screw this and lets you out
faint flare
Samurai cab probably like just Midare him then Tsumbae gaeshi thr heart
median locust
Cause you have too much exp
faint flare
And jails skipped
median locust
You don't even have to worry
kind eagle
LOL
simple shore
Then you were in HM, not EX
kind eagle
The thing just ends
faint flare
^ what bal said
left cedar
Is there a level requirement for joining a bonding ceremony? Or any other kind of requirement other than an invite?
median locust
It doesn't deal enough damage at level 80
faint flare
In hard modw its a wipe, in EX it just does some smapl damage
surreal geyser
Hmm just thought of a new question. Personal storage for your characters, retainers, and what not. Has anything been done to improve that situation? I imagine when I log in my inventory is going to be a nightmare since I lost my house.
simple shore
@surreal geyser how long have you been gone for?
kind eagle
During post arr
median locust
@surreal geyser If you didn't pick anything up and your house got destroyed, your furniture is gone
surreal geyser
2 ish years? I know wedding anniversary's were not a thing.
median locust
You have 35 days to pick it up after demolition and then it's gone
surreal geyser
oh?
simple shore
Inventory system hasnt really changed any. Choco saddlebags are a thing now, idk if they existed last time you played.
median locust
They don't keep the furniture from your house forever
median locust
they need the server space so they can't keep that forever
surreal geyser
Makes sense. Oh well, my own fault
guess its the same for stuff on my rental retainers
surreal geyser
Okay cool
leaden ginkgo
5 hours until I can play the game
surreal geyser
For Glamour, did they ever make it so you can take stuff out of the glamour dresser?
remote lintel
can free trial people be added to friends lists
median locust
Nope
remote lintel
wack
simple shore
Nah, because friends list adds are mutual
surreal geyser
Oh well thats interesting. They actually ended the Garo event?
simple shore
and trial cant have friends
remote lintel
oh thats right
hushed pond
Is Memoria Miseria very hard? I want the idealized chest piece from it for glamour
simple shore
hard is a matter of perspective.
surreal geyser
thank god I got my metal horses
simple shore
What do you consider to be hard?
hushed pond
Idk it'll be one of my first EXs, my first current one for sure
simple shore
Then its going to be a significant step up from anything you've done before.
granite swan
@simple shore Free Trial can have friends though, you just cant talk to em
tulip plover
What does being "padded" mean
simple shore
In what context? Parses?
granite swan
I had someone friend request me while i was on trial 2 days ago and i accepted, couldnt really do anything though but atleast i knew when he was online lol
tulip plover
Like being in a padded party
silver ruin
is there a timer for buying new houses once 5.4 drops or can you just go ham once the new wards are added?
faint flare
Go ham
silver ruin
k my friend told me relocation will get priority instead for that
twilit arch
assuming they don't lock wards to fcs first
simple shore
I cant rightfully think of having seen that phrase? Can you give context?
pastel torrent
i keep seeing people mention something about a Balance discord. where do i see that?
faint flare
The invisible timer is only on plots that were just demolished
simple shore
!faq balance
zinc orbitBOT

Okay... Did anyone get a super racist message from a Rovel Bot?
fresh lodge
Padded means the party is boosting a specific players damage @tulip plover
surreal geyser
Huh, no new housing area in Shadow bringer. Interesting
faint flare
Nope

ishgard restoration (SOONTM)
cloud jasper
Is there much advantage ranking up grand company above 2nd Lt.? I don't feel I would be interested in managing the adventurer squadrons thing
fresh lodge
Ishgard Resto is next week
faint flare
Just more seal cap
agile laurel
they've clued in now and again that due to the spaghetticode of the game, adding housing areas is a damn sight harder than it seems
fresh lodge
Also sweet sweet glam
agile laurel
block and report
simple shore
and delete that
fresh lodge
You can also get items which provide the equivalent of a Grade 3 FC buff for 2 hours
cloud jasper
Well, doesn't sound like that is really necessary
nice to have maybe if you like the squadrons but that's it
fresh lodge
@leaden ginkgo can you DM me the screenshot?
simple shore
Doesnt look like it was a user on the server.
fresh lodge
Also in the future for stuff like that you should use #discord-modmail
leaden ginkgo
Gotcha
verbal socket
I don't know where to put this, as I can't find a dungeon/trial help section. I need help clearing the Trial Ultima's Bane as it seems no one is running it and i can't solo it myself. Would anyone mind helping me?
simple shore
You should either ask in PF or wait until you're higher level
verbal socket
PF?
simple shore
Party Finder
leaden ginkgo
what is the adventuring foray option in party finder
and at level 50 what is the best crafter gear i can use to craft the 3 star or tome stuff ?
I would get a couple more crafting levelings
and get like lv53 gear
zinc orbitBOT
fresh lodge
The Artisan gear from your FC is the best for that level
strange coral
There's some level 50 crafting gear from GCs. Or wait til 51 and get a set from Ishgard.
faint flare
@leaden ginkgo adventuring foray is for Eureka and eventually Bojza southren resistance
cobalt wedge
do chest and leg pieces have twice the weight towards ilvl or is that just for weapons?
faint flare
^
Weapons do cause they're basically counting as Main hand and off hand
Except Paladin cause you know, the shield
But you always get the weapon and shield together unless you're getting tome gear
visual flame
.
cobalt wedge
how viable is shield only paladin?
leaden ginkgo
not possible
faint flare
You literally need the sword to attack
leaden ginkgo
well
strange coral
You literally need the sword to be a paladin
faint flare
Other than shield bash
leaden ginkgo
even ignoring that fact, you need a main hand to be a class
faint flare
And that
cobalt wedge
what if i just want to protect my friends
leaden ginkgo
play scholar and dont dps
faint flare
And generating emnity
And using your mitigation tools like veil, reprisal, passage of arms, cover and intervention
cobalt wedge
you can only overmeld crafted gear right?
leaden ginkgo
no
faint flare
Yes
surreal geyser
I thought crafted gear was the only thing you could over meld. Course my point of reference is out of date
winged solar
hey, i'm done with all of lancers' guild quest and it doesn't show me where to begin becoming a dragoon, which I want
where do I find such place?
faint flare
You need to continue the story
steep heron
Coerthas
leaden ginkgo
oh i thought he said crafter
faint flare
Past slyph management msq which is lv20
winged solar
so the story will eventually guide me there?
or do I need to find npc and do seperate quests?
faint flare
You need to get past slyph management to unlock the job advancement quest
Once you have, it will appear at your trainer again
And on the main scenario tracker
crimson crystal
I'm really confused how the fieldcraft leves work.. they want me to get like 300 evaluation but I can only get as many as there are gathering nodes?
plain python
can I get back the pieces that I used for glamor?
steep heron
Glamour gear is never consumed
faint flare
You can freely retrieve from the dresser
plain python
so I glamor a piece and put that piece into dresser for later use?
noble leaf
if i am helping a new friend, can we do undersized party and still get the quest complete?
faint flare
Then you make a plate with it
twilit arch
@crimson crystal there are 2 items to gather, high point items and low point items.
surreal geyser
Hmm, blue mage sounds weird. Why did they add this if they arent keeping it current?
twilit arch
high point items generally are going to have a lower gathering chance, so you take more of a risk by going for them but that means if you do gather them, you can get higher evaluation bonus
faint flare
Because its fun side content
twilit arch
because blue mage is intended to be side content

Gooood afternoon, everyone. I have been out of the FF14 world for about 3 years now (since 4.1?), and I am wanting to start a new character and learn to play with a keyboard/mouse. I initially played with my DS4 on PS4, but want to take the time and effort to learn KBM. I am also ordering a 1650 Super to pair with my 3770k, so hopefully can run full settings @ 1080p or maybe get into 1440p. Anyways, I digress.
I guess my question is, how do you go about choosing a world to play on? I had my character on Diabolos back in the day, but want to start an ALT elsewhere.
surreal geyser
Ah okay
faint flare
I wish there was morw excusw to use it but i guess Yokai fates will be
surreal geyser
Makes sense from reading this description, So its just something fun to do other than Crafting and gathering.
faint flare
Just casual go insta kill them
surreal geyser
yokai fates are still a thing?
crimson crystal
I'm way over leveled for this leve, so it's not "harder" to get either tho
twilit arch
then go for the higher point item
brave loom
Is iconoclasm the easiest savage? I want to try savage contents but I'm a little bit scared haha
faint flare
With weapons addes for the new jobs
crimson crystal
Alright, thanks
surreal geyser
Oh boy, I remember how horrible it was the first time
faint flare
Once you learned it yes but start with Fulmination @brave loom
median locust
Fulmination is the entry savage at the moment, you can't start at Iconoclasm
faint flare
Otherwise you lose loot on other floots
median locust
like yeah you can but then you lose loot on Fulmination and Furor
brave loom
on other floots? what do you mean?
gaunt depot
ok i tried asking this last night but noone seemed to know so here goes....can you pay for two different accounts with one credit card?
median locust
Savage raid tiers are in order of easiest to hardest. You need to beat the first one to run the second, beat the second to run the third, etc
plain python
is there a way to replay scenes from side quests? There are some emote-gain quests that I want to rewatch
median locust
Eden's Verse goes Fulmination -> Furor -> Iconoclasm -> Refulgence
remote lintel
@plain python the inn
@brave loom savage floors go in order so if you start on like the third floor then you forfeit loot on all the past floors
