ionic hazel
what about the icon @little swift
little swift
Uhhhh /micon item parasol? Not entirely sure
ionic hazel
nope
little swift
Hmmm not sure they've implemented it yet
But based on the argument requirements it would be /micon "parasol" fashion
ionic hazel
yeah i was looking at that page too
twilit schooner
Recently got into tanking and i've been running some dungeons. Do i just stand in the middle holding the boss while the healer and dps do the mechanics like turning off crystals and stuff? Or should i also get them?
little swift
Sometimes they can be slow macro command updates we just got the blu ones
Depends on the dungeon
Sometimes you have to move for mechanics
cobalt wedge
tank no move
twilit schooner
Ok, one example is like haukke's manor and dzemael where i need to destroy crystals
cobalt wedge
tank hit
twilit schooner
If i move to hit the crystals my dps might get hit lol
little swift
But generally you want to face the boss away from your party and keep it still to make it easier for dps to hit positionals
You have to dps the crystals in that one
crimson wind
What's the best way to farm Skybuilders scrips?
little swift
Boss is invuln during that time and targets a random player with lasers
The lv80 crafts wol
Not expert
crimson wind
Any specific class?
little swift
Whatever you like best
crimson wind
oh
little swift
Gives the same amount of scrips
crimson wind
How much does each 80 craft give
cobalt wedge
it's different every time
little swift
60 at max collectability
cobalt wedge
you need to look at the telegraphs
magic light
yeah, but i keep remembering just 4 elements
crimson wind
Lowest collectability?
little swift
Max as in minimum for max rewards
magic light
so, what is the 5th to be in those five casts
little swift
Its like 30 for min rewards
crimson wind
ah ok
slate crow
DoL only has 3. Good lawd.
crimson wind
Is there a list of Kupo O' Fortune rewards?
little swift
Probably?
magic light
wait, is it the inside donut and outside donut counted as an attack?
cobalt wedge
yeah
magic light
oh
little swift
I don't know that we have the loot table though
cobalt wedge
there's your 5th then
slate crow
Of Fisher, Miner and Botanist, is there any that’s better for leveling or easier on inventory? I’m wanting one of DoL and DoH
cobalt wedge
i actually thought that quintuple meant 4 so i was kinda confused
slate crow
That’s quadruple
crimson wind
Is there any reason to do crafter/gatherer job quests?
cobalt wedge
quintquatuple
obsidian patio
I’d say each of the gatherers are pretty equal on inventory flooding
slate crow
Beast tribe
cobalt wedge
crafters are very nice money
obsidian patio
Fisher can level up easier since their leves are like crafter leves, which mean you can buy them off the market board
cobalt wedge
i actually cant really think of a reason to do gatherers though lol

@neon aspen buy crafted gear

Run your lv80 dungeons

Grab 460 phantasmagoria accessories

but just buy the gear you need to hit 430

Do your roulettes for them

Please don't give unhelpful opinions as advice or shitpost too much thanks

during the telegraph

Not the channel for this
cobalt wedge
remember what cast comes before the stack
after the cast thats before the stack happens move to stack immediately
magic light
it showed up first, so is it's last?
obsidian patio
Quintuplecast includes
Holy Stack
Stone spread
Fire Pyretic
Ice freeze
Gaze
The order of skills in Quintuplecast is completely random
It goes in the order they’re shown
cobalt wedge
if it shows up first it's first?
neon aspen
oh wow servers taking a dump rn
magic light
so, we should've stacked up first?

Thank you😂

If you accidentally click out of prompts like fc invitation, pt invitation, etc. you can find it there as well.
crimson wind
Is there scrip gear like tomestone gear?
crimson wind
kk
crimson notch
is it okay to fully farm the lvl 50 i130 gears before reaching lvl 60 cap? or should i just continue normally?
warped nest
@crimson notch continue normally is fine
There is a lot of story quest on lvl 50
You will make enough Poetic tomestone to get the i130 gear
still iris
hey i unlocked manta ray in stormblood how do i access it now i swam to overwater
crimson notch
ic thanks. poetics are also needed for lvl 60 cap sets btw?
young fjord
@still iris /mountguide
Or if its on quest, you have to go back to questgiver
Its a blue !
jagged jungle
can I get a new veteran reward from the calamity salvager?
young fjord
Veteran rewards are based on number of days subscribed
crimson wind
Where can I see all of the Yo-Kai weapons?
young fjord
One you can get something new, they send it to you via ingame mail
jagged jungle
I accidently deleted my veteran reward so I was wondering if I can get a new one
obsidian patio
@crimson notch yes, same for level 70
young fjord
Ohh, yeah. iirc you can get those back at the calamity salvager
obsidian patio
You shouldn’t be able to delete the outfits at all. 
acoustic copper
I hit level 80 but i'm still on lv 76 quests, should I just take the L and waste the xp?
obsidian patio
Pretty sure the discard option on them is grayed out.
If you don’t want to level up another class to do the story with, then yeah.
warped nest
@acoustic copper personal choice
acoustic copper
the button on the bottom right
still iris
thnx
obsidian patio
warped nest
It is always not that hard to grind exp for other jobs anyway
crimson wind

that's true I guess

misty aurora
you can do yokai at level 30?
obsidian patio
Yes
slate crow
I’m just doing DoH/L to do Ixalii. That’s why I’m trying to find a fast or simple one.
cobalt wedge
with the exception of fisher all DoH/L are copy and pastes of each other
just pick one any one
night canyon
Fishing makes it lore appropriate for me to wear a Bikini, so fishing is top tier.
cobalt wedge
you know fishers wear jackets?
cobalt wedge
spear fishers wear wetsuits???
night canyon
So, I am doing dwarf quests, were any other dailies added into 5.3?
I think you'll find, many spear fishers just wear budgie smugglers 😛
night canyon
Hmm, not really into the delivery stuff, but good to know. I just have all my other beast tribe slots going to waste, oh well.
Back to sitting in my 23 minute MQ q 😦
cobalt wedge
wait you actually have all other tribes maxed?
night canyon
I do.
cobalt wedge
amazing
night canyon
Not really 😛

i want to be like you when i grow up
coral stirrup
Is there any ninja mains I can ask questions ?
magic light
go ahead and ask away
coral stirrup
So i hit level 60
and im kinda overwhelmed with all these abilities and role abilities
Is there some I dont need?
magic light
nope, you need all of it
should be able to help you narrow it down
what's the most jarring in the list of abilities
coral stirrup
Well atm death blossom Im thinking is not required
magic light
it's needed
shrewd owl
it's ur AoE combo so
cobalt wedge
get achievements
coral stirrup
and the combo is simply death blosom and hakke muj
magic light
it's 2 buttons
coral stirrup
with doton on the floor
faint flare
And katon
magic light
how hard can it be to click 2 buttons during trash
faint flare
And tcj for fuma > katon > doton
coral stirrup
Support abilities like the only ones I use currently are blood bath and shade shift. Later on in the game does Arms length, True North and even Leg sweep come usefull?
magic light
leg sweep, not so much
faint flare
Arms leg and true north yes
magic light
true north and arms length? very much
coral stirrup
I just havent come across those mechanics yet and its just sitting there. Ok thank you for clarifying
magic light
true north when you can't hit positionals
arms length when you want to ignore mechanics
or adds are hitting you
faint flare
Arms length negates knockback, which happens alooooot in higher end content
There like
5 knockbacks in current content
coral stirrup
So if eg there is a yellow indicator True north would come into affect or is it like the eye ability that pops up and it negates that
faint flare
If you're forced to like be infront of the boss
Or time you flat cant hit the rear/flank
You use true north
faint flare
If you see a knockback coming, then use it
coral stirrup
Thank you for clarifying the abilities I appreciate it.
faint flare
||Giott|| option is pretty funny
Your options are the people from the role quests
And you get to pick 1
Can just rewatch for the others
Doing all the role quests lets the 5th person come see you
cobalt wedge
have they added a grand company rank above first lieutenant?
coral stirrup
Hey also 1 more question, as a ninja do i use my Limit Break ability?
night canyon
You get more transmogs
basically.
And some other outdated items.
You got to complete promotion missions
With your team
I lvled allmy jobs to 80 via MSQ alone basically lol. So what even is lvling gear 😛
But yes, his point is correct
magic light
limit break as melee dps on single target
use it during filler phase
as in, trick and most of your things are on cd
and not during trick, because lb doesn't do anything with that dmg vuln
obsidian patio
LB isn’t buffed by any player-based buffs or debuffs
It does get influenced by enemy-based defense up/down debuffs though that are part of mechanics.
Like how sometimes two adds will tether together and get an extreme damage resistance up
lethal ledge
Hi, I'm sorry for bothering, but after unlocking GNB, where can I obtain GNB gear? (thanks so much in advance, really appreciate it!)
karmic kernel
What's the quickest way to get from 440 to 460?
oak ice
Idyllshire or Ishgard for poetics
karmic kernel
ilvl, obvs
coral stirrup
@magic light thanks
obsidian patio
Open the coffer from the unlock quest to get your starting set of gear
@karmic kernel buy Neo-Ishgardian gear
karmic kernel
Crafted, right?
obsidian patio
Yes
oak ice
Ye, only get HQ, as you probably know
karmic kernel
Hopefully I can get a full set with 415k...
obsidian patio
Not a full set but a good number of pieces
karmic kernel
F
obsidian patio
Just be sure to replace your weakest slots first, along with weapon
lethal ledge
Oh dang, I don't think I did that. I'm trying to do the next quest for GNB which requires item lvl 265, I'm at 130 with everything equipped, so I don't think I got it D:
oak ice
Get to 455 and spam E5-8 for 480 pieces
obsidian patio
You can buy i270 accessories from idyllshire and the sundry vendor in Ishgard for poetics
lethal ledge
Thanks Wynne! (assuming that was directed at me)
oak ice
And buy a weapon, the one from the coffer is NQ and sucks so bad
lethal ledge

where can you get a new yokai compendium or w.e the name is?
hard dragon
Its in the minion Menu
crimson wind
Which minion gives the DRK weapon?
hard dragon
stable herald
oh goodness... one medal per fate?
open condor
Legendary medals aren't guaranteed
But it seems like they reduced the cost overall, last 3 weapons used to be 30 medals each, now I can get the newest ones for 10
smoky glade
does removing someone from friend list still not remove you from theirs?
stable herald
still.. it seems.. horrendous
mild ermine
Is there an optimal way to farm this event that I should be aware of?
frosty badger
is it worth doing the Frontline duty roulette for the reward?
or too much trouble to win
stable herald
i am also interested in an optimal farming method
smoky glade
a loss gives you less wolf marks though
green grail
does removing someone from friend list still not remove you from theirs?
@smoky glade no

@coarse pollen new event. Yokai watch event
slate crow
What is Eureka? I got a quest with the name and have seen it mentioned before.
leaden ginkgo
Anyone know how to put the translate arrows (green/red parenthesis arrows) into a macro?
@slate crow From what i know Eureka, is an instanced area that up to 144 or 150 (idk the exact number but its around that) players can explore simultaneously with raging aetherial energies and strengthen Eureka weapons and gear in order to progress through
You can get a lot of stuff from there that sells good in the market but it takes a lot of grinding and such so a lot of people don't do it anymore
stable herald
5 legendary coins required per weap
Any fate counts IF you have your yokai watch equipped
hard elk
aye thank you!
keen vector
What is palace of the dead? What is it good for and should I be doing it???
leaden ginkgo
Its good to get alt classes to lvl 15 so u can start doing dungeons,
warped nest
It is a Rogue lite dungeon
leaden ginkgo
so
If i get this event right
Do Fates, get Medals
Use Medal, to buy Minion
With Minion out, do Specific Fates, to get Medals for Weapon
Rinse and repeat?
warped nest
It has a nifty secondary effect, clearing a set of 10 floors give exp
So it is a decent way to grind exp for job
(not the best way though)
Its good to get alt classes to lvl 15 so u can start doing dungeons,
Do FATEs is probably faster
leaden ginkgo
You also get a lot of gil, consumable items like potions, by opening the blue chest u gain aetherpool defense and then u can forge aetherpool grips that u can get shiny weapons
warped nest
Plus less risky
leaden ginkgo
they are lvl 60 weapons ~~
You can get 4 different type of sacks that u can get a random item with them
slate crow
Where’s info on Yokai Watch collab?
leaden ginkgo
Bronze-trimmed Sacks,
from floor 1-50
Iron sacks from floor 50-100
silver sacks from floor 101-150
jovial verge
So, I need to have an discussion settled between the FC i'm in and gear and stats. I know for gear of the same item levels for example two tops at 480, its not uncommon to mix and match sets as some bits will have better secondary stats compared to others in the set. But as a rule, you shouldn't be putting on a lower level piece of gear just because its secondary's are more beneficial than the higher iLv gears...right? You always want the highest primary stats
I hope that makes sense
warped nest
@jovial verge almost always yes
leaden ginkgo
u walk around and u gonna see it
warped nest
Primary stat has more weight
atomic brook
oh my god this is going to be impossible
the FATESs are finished in like 2 seconds you cant even get there in time
warped nest
Unless the higher primary stat pieces somehow have the worst combination of secondary stat, which is very unlikely
jovial verge
@warped nest I thought as much, thank you
warped nest
@jovial verge weapon damage > primary stat >> secondary stat
jovial verge
I'll have to give our bard a clip round the ear in that case haha
gloomy mortar
Is Defense a primary or secondary stat
tropic summit
How does quick synth success rate work?
warped nest
Neither tbh
leaden ginkgo
Anyone knows how to put the translate arrows (green/red parenthesis arrows) into a macro?
warped nest
Defense/Magic defense/vitality is kinda sorta just a bundle of stat for your base bulkiness
@leaden ginkgo try googling "FFXIV auto translate phrase macro"
You don't put those arrow
misty aurora
1nd weapon need 5 2nd weapon need 10 3nd weapon need 15? yokai

As BS as not-Ramuh was, I got enough loot for two i480 accessories. That brought me up to 465.
warped nest
You open the dictionary and insert a phrase from it into the macro
leaden ginkgo
Ik how to put them in chat but when i tried in the macro it didn't work
unless im stupiid and i typed it wrong
wet cradle
can I invite people from different server to my fc?
grizzled gyro
How do you obtain items from Mog Station without purchasing it with irl money?
warped nest
@grizzled gyro people can gift it to you
Please don't do anything unethical
@wet cradle no
leaden ginkgo
But they still gonna need to use irl money
warped nest
There is no way to earn it for free (there is one single item, but not important)
Everything on mogstation are just vanity items

Did the max retainer level for ventures go up with the patch?
What’s the difference between Shout and Yell when not in a party?

should and yell have nothing to do with player parties. Shout is zone-wide, while Yell is basically just say in a bigger radius

hey! quick question about the free play period included with the purchase of the full game
is it considered an entry or standard tier during that time?
as in would i get to create an extra character on my current home world during that free play period or not

How do you guys address their names? Their first or surname? (I set non-friends PC’s headnames to last names)
obsidian patio
I generally go by first
slate crow
Is a Manderville Mambo the only thing you get or is there more?

I wish I can completely turn off the first names and display surnames only
But it only shows abbreviation
obsidian patio
There's a barding you can get from the Yojimbo trial
foggy viper
Approx how long will the yokai watch event last?
obsidian patio
until patch 5.4, which assuming there's no delays like 5.3 had then about 3.5 months

Yep

Oh that's good then, I'll start farming the collection next week

signal gull
ok so how do I start the DoH stuff? do I need to do a class quest for them to get started and which DoH tools do I need to buy and what about the lvl of the tools?
obsidian patio
You unlock them just like any other combar class.
and the tools are labelled/restricted to only be usable by their crafting class
Only Goldsmiths can use GSM mainhand/offhand tools, and so on.
And just like combat classes crafters have stats in their gear so the higher level stuff the better.
honest cedar
im running fates with a friend but even with the yokai watch activated we dont get any yokai coins..
signal gull
ok so if I wanna be a goldsmith I need to check out their guildmaster first
and where do I get the mats to craaft stuff?
green grail
from mining, marketboard, or some few starter mats are usually sold by vendors around the guild
signal gull

do the minions matter in the yo-kai event?
obsidian patio
If it's the same as last time, if you want one of the weapon glamours you need to have that specific minion out.
wanton fulcrum
how do I track which weapons I've got left to do for yokai?
achievements -> quests -> seasonal events is missing a bunch of them
obsidian patio
You'll only see the seasonal achievements that you have obtained.
honest cedar
im running fates with a friend but even with the yokai watch activated we dont get any yokai coins..
obsidian patio
so the achievements still work in that aspect.
@honest cedar which zone are you doing fates in?
honest cedar
coerthas, but we also did near limsa
obsidian patio
Looking at the promo page, Coerthas Central Highland isn't applicable for tokens, same with Mor Dhona.
honest cedar
oh gotcha, ty!
wanton fulcrum
The yokai page doesnt detail how to get the new mount? https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/2020/youkai-watch/vdnaiga67o
green grail
presumably by getting all the weapons
wanton fulcrum
oh right, the thing the game doesnt let you track in the collection menu
awesome. love that
desert horizon
13 Minions gives one mount
13 Weapons gives another mount
17 Weapons gives you the final mount.
wanton fulcrum
like I can remember which weapons I got three years ago
green grail
just /isearch the names
desert horizon
You should have achievements like this too
green grail
oh there you go
crisp mural
There’s 3 mounts? I thought it was 2
wanton fulcrum
guess ill go trawling through my achievements then
obsidian patio
The Jibanyan chair mount
desert horizon
There's a Whisper mount, a.. shiny Whisper mount, then Jibanyan Chair
wanton fulcrum
they should have just added this to the collection menu if they were going to go through the trouble of moving yokai there
vocal star
how do i get acces to the whisper go mount, i have 13 minions
thorn mantle
why do some people have a god's name next to their name?
green grail
jonathas in gridania if it's anything like last time
thorn mantle
is that something you unlock
vocal star
where is he?
green grail
like <God of magic>? it's a title for getting all jobs of a role to lvl 80
near the waterfall/smn "trainer" npc in old gridania
desert horizon
Old Gridania
quasi widget
should be either next week or the week after? I remember last time was two weeks
thorn mantle
i mean like the name, then a flower, then "shiva" or sth
obsidian patio
flower sounds like their status, which is them being a returning player
and shiva, being 5 letters, sounds like the shorthand/title for their free company
was shiva enclosed like <this>?
noble current
this may sound stupid but is there a way to rotate weapons? a lot of whm weapons/glams would look good if i could choose the direction the staff is facing
(nirvana zeta e.g.)
green grail
nope
noble current
god too bad
desert horizon
Oh in chat? The flower then the world name, it just means they're from a different world to you in game, so it tells you where they're from. They see your world name next to your name too, you just can't see your own. @thorn mantle
thorn mantle
ah ok

that will be trash when i get all minion?

soft bough
how do you join events in this game? i saw they have a yokai watch event how do i participate?
quasi widget
I think when you log in they have a link for ongoing events in purple texts. those always have a page with the starting location
zinc kelp
i dont see the npc in uldah
soft bough
so ill have to check the website for info of the event
obsidian patio
If you did the event last time you won't need to do the start-up quests again
also they might be crowded/outrendered by other players
quasi widget
if youre unsure if youve already done it, the NPCs should now be in the gold saucer
plain python
have the Yokai Watch event begin yet? 😮
quasi widget
yup, 2 hours ago

Thx, is that pinned somewhere?

can i get another one?
@zinc kelp pretty sure you can
desert horizon
It's in AzaLieze's spreadsheet "guide" off Reddit. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1miqj5Dml1iPhxv5WXTsof3xMhpnygEIWED2k7c7iRlg/edit?usp=sharing
Super useful for Yokai Watch event tbh
green grail
recompense officer sells the watches
near any calamity salvager
aftcastle in limsa for example
tender hull
Is Yokai Watch event happening yet
green grail
yes
tender hull
I can't seem to find him in Ul'dah
green grail
if you started the quest back when it originally came out you wont get the uldah unlock quest
you already have the yokai collection thing unlocked etc
weary burrow
can trial participate or
green grail
yeah
tender hull
Wait, nevermind -- I was looking out for a blue quest icon instead of the normal yellow
thanks
green grail
there's no difference in content between trial and starter edition, just social/gil limits
tender hull
It was just a regular yellow quest lol
sick osprey
do swimming mounts exist?
fluid finch
whats the best way to level since patch 5.3 is out? or is it the same currently?
obsidian patio
all mounts can go underwater
but if you mean ones you can use at the water's surface without flying, then no.
sick osprey
is that something i need to unlock ? whenever i go in water i get unmounted
green grail
probably flying in the area
vestal needle
Any way to get a quicker party for Extreme trial?
obsidian patio
Diving is unlocked through the story and can only be used in Stormblood/Shadowbringer zones
vestal needle
timer saids 30 mins 😦
green grail
did you copy the right thing cause that's really low res
vestal needle
and then i found out party finder is only for sub
green grail
people generally don't do old extreme trials either unfortunately @vestal needle
quasi widget
if youre willing to wait, its gonna pop eventually, but I wouldnt guarantee youre gonna clear it either
green grail
mostly only unsynced so they die in like 20 seconds
plus with the most recent patch they added a new mode for level cap, where it's old extremes upscaled for level 80, starting with shiva
so if you're going for challenge of old extremes, no one's really gonna do them synced either
vestal needle
how do you do them unsync?
desert horizon
Duty Finder > Settings > Undersized Party
You'll want to be around level 70-80 if you want to solo the ARR extremes.
green grail
it puts you in the instance with your current party and no level sync
so it's not like a queue of level 80s or anything
vestal needle
are the rewards the same?
obsidian patio
yes
tardy bay
where do people currently gather to do those fates?
I thought yanxia would be a good place, but theres hardly anyone here
unborn canopy
help!! am v new to ffxiv and i picked jp as region bc its closest to me but its in jp LOL??? is there any way 2 change the lang to english..
tardy bay
should be a launcher option
unborn canopy
what
signal gull
are there any other vendors which you can buy mats for crafting except the one in the guild?
tardy bay
changing the language is an option in the launcher i thought
unborn canopy
at the start??
green grail
in the launcher, where you log in
plain python
do you need to visit heavensward and beyond to collect all yokai? I'm still free trial and only lv30
desert horizon
Yeah, you'll need to reach Stormblood areas.
There's 2 exclusive to Heavensward, and 2 to Stormblood.
But that means you can still get 13, which means you can still get 2 mounts, 17 minions, and 13 weapons from this.
green grail
you can farm the minions in any area, but for the weapons you need expansion zones
we have an image guide by kaiyoko pinned
vestal needle
Is it some weapons or all weapons are locked behind expansion?
tardy bay
where are most people currently farming normal medals?
green grail
the expansion jobs' weapons are farmed in their expansion zones
vestal needle
got it thanks
obsidian wren
The event will stay until the 5.4 update so you'll have multiple months to get there
desert horizon
Ignore normal medal farms, you get enough as you go for legendaries.
green grail
if it's anything like last time, one of the best farming spots was the kobold mines where 2 fates always respawn back to back forever
so people left the outer la noscea weapons for last
since the latter ones require more tokens iirc
obsidian patio
they standardized the token requirement for the weapons now, but yeah.
maxes out at 10 legendary tokens instead of 30
green grail
sexy
zinc kelp
do i have to be a gunbreaker in order to get the gunbreaker weapon for yokai event??? or can i play other jobs and still get the gunbreaker weapon medal as long as i have the gunbreaker minion out?
obsidian patio
no
You can play any job, you just need the correct minion out for that job's weapon. So for the GNB weapon you need Lord Enma out and do Heavensward fates.
signal gull
I just realized you need a specific lvl in DoH to meld materia onto gear?
obsidian patio
yes
signal gull
damn I thought the lvl 19/25 quests where the only requirement
obsidian patio
The level for melding equipment is the same that you would need to wear the item
signal gull
so if I am lvl 80 and would like to meld materiaa I would need to be lvl80 in the DoH aswell?
obsidian patio
yes, or you can always use the NPCs melders for a small gil cost
zinc kelp
ty wynne!
obsidian patio
assuming you're only melding into the visible slots
obsidian patio
Crafted gear can be melded past the visible slots, but it introduces a low chance of success
Starts at around 20% success rate, which then becomes as low as 7-8% for the last possible overmeld.
desert horizon
I think you can also get another crafter to overmeld for you by requesting a meld from them. Still uses your materia, but you can offer an amount of gil for each attempt, so people might help out and do it for you.
crimson notch
are there any sense in doing relic weapon quests? im lvl 55+ and will continue till shadowbringers
green grail
old relics are only worth doing for glamour
and even then they're easier to do when you're overleveled
crimson notch
in terms of lvl 80, they see any use?
obsidian patio
only for looks.
So if you don't like the look of the old relics then there's no need to do them at all.
desert horizon
Current relics are BiS aside from raid gear the majority of the time, but old relics are entirely glamour
tardy bay
how many fates do you need to do for a weapon?
obsidian patio
RNG drop rate.
But when I did the event the first time it felt like around a 10-20% drop rate for the tokens
tardy bay
let's say i have 3
desert horizon
10 Legendary tokens, so roughly 30-35 fates with average luck
sharp spire
i havent tried ffxiv, but looking at gameplay videos, is it really bad playing melee/tanks?
obsidian patio
no.
sharp spire
you can't see anything
desert horizon
It feels like it's around 25-30% now
obsidian patio
Just zoom out.
sharp spire
but won't that affect your coordination
near ermine
Does Blue Mage work with Yokai medals?
obsidian patio
from what I've heard, yes.
quasi widget
yup
desert horizon
For everything except the Stormblood ones yeah
near ermine
Thanks

Which area do you get legendary yokai coins for hovernyan
sharp spire
is bard the archer dps of this game?
feral canyon
thanks
visual grotto
i exchanged tomestones of poetics for rowena's token (poetics)
and wanted to use those to buy ironworks gear (ilvl 120 gear)
but now they show that they need actual tomestones of poetics
wiki still shows them to be exchanged for tokens
is there something i have missed? can i exchange them back, or did i essentially waste the resources and just have to trash the tokens?
frozen karma
do I need to do the bahamut raids in order? I did the whole first coil, and my FC is doing turn 9-13 tomorrow, do I need to clear 6-8 on my own before then or does it not matter?
noble current
ive read a guide on eureka but one thing i didnt understand is how the scaling works ( i know about the seperate level etc)
but lets say i go in with my pld lvl 30 and my whm lvl 80 with 480 ilvl gear
where is the difference
obsidian patio
For Coil you only need to clear the last raid of each tier to unlock the next one
twilit arch
you're going to be extremely weak
frozen karma
alright cool cool
twilit arch
as a lvl 30 pld
obsidian patio
Eureka is still technically level 70 content
twilit arch
so its really not recommend to go in as a lv 30 pld so as you are going to die
quasi widget
yup
twilit arch
yeah
obsidian patio
@visual grotto The Rowena tokens are now completely worthless
They removed the exchange options that used them for the poetic weapons
visual grotto
okay,
gonna keep em in case they make an exchange back option
until then, time to get more tomestones
thank you for your answer
thick elm
how long in-game was ARR, HW, and SB?
zinc orbitBOT
quasi widget
2 years from arr to start of shb? or sb? its still kept vague
delicate edge
is there a Lootmaster system like in WoW?
quasi widget
yes
noble current
when i do eureka as a whm, can i still exchange those tokens later on for another class or only for whm?
thick elm
wait really? all those things happened in the span of 2 years?
twilit arch
can exchange for another job
noble current
so i could play purely whm and still get a finished set for blm for example
twilit arch
just need to make sure you have the appropriate job gear/weapon on you, since the starting weapon builds off of the lvl 70 job quest stuff
quasi widget
wait really? all those things happened in the span of 2 years?
@thick elm each expansion is like around one year
twilit arch
No
its 1 year
for it all
but either way they don't give us exact dates or time and keep it very vague
because its easier than trying to keep the time/dates all neat
noble current
i am kinda lost on the 70 quest stuff,
so i can play whm but i have to have blm weapon + armor in my inventory?
twilit arch
yes because as I said, anemos (which is the first zone) uses the lvl 70 as a starting point
so you're upgrading the lv 70 weapon
you don't necessarily need the armour unless you want to make it dyeable
twilit arch
buy it from the calamity salvager
noble current
oh true, he takes gil right?
twilit arch
yes
noble current
ok lets say i want a weapon upgraded which isnt lvl 70 yet
regal heath
Hey guys, is it possible for me to solo farm Unsyncd Alexander for my Anima weapon parts?
noble current
could i farm those materials for the upgrade and then return and use them on my class
quasi widget
could i farm those materials for the upgrade and then return and use them on my class
@noble current yes
you can stockpile as much crystals as you want
from eureka
noble current
and as soon as my class hits 70 i take those weapons + armor to eureka and upgrade them?
mild ermine
One we have all of the Yokai minions, how do we get the mount?
Or mounts. I think theres 2?
mild ermine
Nohi?
twilit arch
Ya
obsidian patio
Jonathas in Old Gridania might have it too
if it's an award from the acheivement
@noble current yes
mild ermine
Yeah Nohi doesn't offer anything, so it might be the achievement thing.
weary burrow
why is north thanalan not in the list for legendary medals >.>
obsidian patio
it just isn't. 🤷♂️
noble current
if i keep those crystals for my second class and not for my whm, will that make me a lot weaker?
twilit arch
hm, could've sworn all of it was done thru nohi
obsidian patio
Same reason why Coerthas Central Highlands and Mor Dhona don't have legendary tokens in them
mild ermine
I don't see anything on Nohi anymore besides the weapons.
obsidian patio
you don't need to progress the weapon to progress through eureka
twilit arch
then i guess wynne is right and its jonathas
old crypt
Is there any way to bind the keys of a combo attack to a single key?
obsidian patio
nope
mild ermine
Wynne is usually right tbh. But I'll check. >>
soft bough
if i glamor a level 30 equip, what should i do if i want to upgrade to a level 40 one
regal heath
Don't mean to be a bother but does anyone know the answer to my question? Google isn't being helpful 👀
obsidian patio
yes you can solo it, but you'll likely need to be level 80.
quasi widget
what item do you want from alexander?
regal heath
My main part is is he repeat farmable for his Gordian bits
twilit arch
i wouldn't recommend soloing it
obsidian patio
@soft bough if you used the glamour dresser to apply the glamour, then you simply go back to that to apply it again
obsidian patio
if you used the direct method of right-click > cast glamour then you do so on the new equipment
regal heath
Doesnt that lower my chance of getting the mats substantially if I queue though?
obsidian patio
no
twilit arch
I assume you're talking about the precision stuff, yes
then no, because its automatically dropped into your inventory upon completion
regal heath
Yeah the precision stuff to turn in for the Awakened weapon anima set
regal heath
Oh so I can just spam Alex in duty finder and Ill have the same chance at getting parts?
twilit arch
yes
regal heath
Alrighty, thank you
twilit arch
By getting the weapons
quasi widget
yup
twilit arch
whisper-ago-go is 13, jibyana(?) is all 17

Whisper-go is 13 minions
agile laurel
is there a ballpark drop rate for the titania ex mount?
twilit arch
ago-go is the glowying version
noble current
kael sry to bother again
but you guys said the lvl 70 armor and weapon, is that the one i get from doing my job questline?
noble current
gotcha, im a bit confused on the "i dont have to ugprade weapon"
what do i upgrade than except levels to get stronger in eureka?
lament elk
is there a way to know what yokai weapons i already have? npc says i don't have any and thats not correct
desert horizon
You'll have an achievement for each weapon
obsidian patio
frozen karma
Is there a list of striking dummies somewhere?
obsidian patio
twilit schooner
Should i even bother unlocking the four lords raids? Do people still do those?
obsidian patio
For level 80 dummies, not sure about all their locations but I'm pretty sure there's a few right outside of Mord Souq
desert horizon
normal modes are in trials roulettes, and extremes are popular now because new weapons have just come out with materials from one of the fights
agile laurel
Since it's basically most of SB ex content, yeah
mortal atlas
@twilit arch I'm a friend of Zod and I was wondering - for DRG it's the Trueblood attire set you get from the coffer I suppose. I don't know whether or not I still have it, but is it the full Trueblood armor or the Antiquated Trueblood armor?
lament elk
You'll have an achievement for each weapon
thank you
its weird that the npc is still saying that i don't have any of them
agile laurel
plus they're actually some of the more fun fights in the game ngl
twilit arch
not sure how the 5.3 change affected the lvl 70 quest but it should be be the antiquated trueblood set
leaden ginkgo
antiquated is what drops from coffers
twilit arch
since you're augmenting it in eureka
mortal atlas
I see - does the Elemental gear come from the Trueblood set, or is that an entirely different set?
twilit arch
entirely different set
obsidian patio
completely different
twilit arch
only reason you need the armour is if you want to augment it to be dyeable
obsidian patio
you don't need to upgrade the relic armor at all to be able to get the elemental sets
The only thing you need for unlocking Elemental is a completed Pagos weapon and 50 learned logos actions
mortal atlas
Hmm, I'm aiming for the Elemental gear actually - haven't checked out the trueblood gear. I want to get a cool looking white dragoon glam so
obsidian patio
for the glowy elemental armor you need a completed Pyros weapon and all 58 logos actions learned
mortal atlas
I'm still in the first area so I suppose the Elemental gear is a long way away then
obsidian patio
yeah it's the third area
mortal atlas
If only it wasn't so grindy / slow. Thanks anyway!
quasi widget
used to be worse!
leaden ginkgo
that's 1-2 weeks of grinding on and off i'd say
obsidian patio
just make sure to complete your eureka challenge log as much as you can each week for tons of free experience
and if you don't have the challenge log unlocked I highly recommend unlocking it to make leveling easier.
mortal atlas
Let me check if I have the challenge log for Eureka unlocked
I should have
Oh it's just a part of the general challenge log, so I should have it
south yarrow
why do sch go crit and dh over crit and det or crit piety? i know crit is good cause it gives higher healings and also thicc shields on adloq but why would u do dh over det or piety?
obsidian patio
DH is slightly stronger than det in terms of pure damage
and piety you only take when you feel like you need more of it.
tardy bay
if you play sch properly, you'll hardly need much piety. but if your party keeps taking unnecessary damage you might run out of it a bit faster
obsidian patio
yeah this is assuming a good coordinated group
south yarrow
but im healers, i assume, u have barely no dh, wouldnt u take det over dh to get rid of the rng that comes with it?
i said piety but yheah mainly meant det
tardy bay
(Also sadly shields are rather useless rn, which is why half the sch kit doesn't get used much later on)
deft quiver
Anyone know how many medals fates give for the yokai event?
Or how many fates we’ll need to get all minion and weapons
obsidian wren
so far im 2/2 for normal medals
1st weapon needs 5 legendary medals, 10 legend for all other weapons after
pins has a more detailed guide
green raft
dh just gives you more damage than det despite the rng, people have calculated that ages ago. crit>dh>det goes for most jobs in the game right now except stuff like warrior
obsidian wren
heals can't dh so some healers like to go for det instead
south yarrow
also do u need phantasmagoria tokens for other than buying tomestone gear and upgrading neoish and that stuff? kinda like poetics that u need for relic weapons and stuff, should i be buyin smth with phantas?
green raft
you need it for some crafting materials
plain python
when will patch 5.4 come?
twilit arch

@bold flume outer la noscea has 2 fates that continually spawn, but for weapons it depends on the minion

The weapons unique designs?
grizzled mural
Whatever comes after 1920x
quasi widget
oh.
The weapons unique designs?
@bold flume yeah you can get a unique weapon appearance per job if you farm fates with that specific minion out
a guide just got pinned if you need more info
obsidian wren

grizzled mural
Yeah but does it break in cutscenes
strange coral
The game supports just about any resolution. Ultrawide might have some black bars in cutscenes though
feral canyon
Can anyone suggest another leveling method, since the event started the queue's all dried up. I've been in queue for palace of the dead 41-50 for an hour.
final steeple
guys about the servers is the spriggan server a good server or is it dying? cause the stats say that it only has 30 000 characters
grizzled mural
But 19:6 is ok
desert horizon
41-50 will always be slow. People do 51-60 over and over, so 41-50 is one of the rarer ones to see a queue for.
Dungeons are just the best levelling in the game aside from roulettes, and not counting queues tbh
quasi widget
Can anyone suggest another leveling method, since the event started the queue's all dried up. I've been in queue for palace of the dead 41-50 for an hour.
@feral canyon what level are you? id suggest going to do the fates if people are out and about doing them

Leveling my DK, stuck at 35 lol because I can't get to 51-60.
twilit schooner
Which is better for someone new in trying the extreme content, dps or tanking?
quasi widget
if youre a tank just queue for dungeons
twilit schooner
I'm a bit nervous being a newbie in extreme content as a tank
quasi widget
depends on the fight. @twilit schooner some fights you'll just stand there as tank. others you actually have to do stuff. same goes for dps.
final steeple
does anyone know if the spriggan server is good?
agile laurel
the only thing to fear in ex as a tank is sometimes it hits harder and sometimes there's, o god forbid, a tank swap mechanic
quasi widget
if you want a smooth intro, join a group for like the first two of the expansion
since people overgear those now
open coral
Personally I'm of the opinion that you should learn fight mechanics generally as a dps, then more specifically as a healer, and finally as a tank.
green grail
yeah spriggan's good @final steeple
twilit schooner
Ok i might try dps first, i've seen streamers use the pf where there's a lot of practice runs, pretty hard to see english ones on elemental
final steeple
thanks vis i was worried i chose a dying server had to make sure before going any further
zinc orbitBOT
green grail
there's no dying servers
open coral
As a dps, you're basically learning what makes you need to move where. As a healer, you deal with tank mechanics, but from a recovery standpoint so you get an idea of which abilities are tankbusters. And then as a tank, you'll know everything except maybe when an enmity swap has to happen.
final steeple
that's good, a post on reddit made a year ago scared me
it said chaos servers are dying

ok i'll give it a try: i used to play ps4, yesterday i wanted to come back but play on PC. so i bought the complete edition and entered the code after launching the game. it then asked me to create a new service account, which i did.
i now have a service account on ps4 with my old character and a new one with all the expansions and game time but no character
open coral
It didn't give you an option to log in using an existing service account?

is it possible to merge them somehow? or am i screwed and need to rebuy
yes i tried that first but something went wrong and then it asked to create a new one instead
