can you find all craftable housing items in the housing meny of your crafting log or are there some that only shows up on the level and/or master recipe pages?

Do GC Seals pick up pretty quick once u finally get 2nd Lt and can do the board stuff?
tame mirage
wait why do almost all the skills change drastically when you become scholar it's not arcanist anymore
raven burrow
how much mgp does a fashion report reward?
tame mirage
like it's completely different
granite swan
participating is 30k i think, i forget how much for winning
onyx kiln
60k if you make it above 80 points
raven burrow
oof so little for a once a week reward
onyx kiln
if you do all of your challange log every week then you can also earn about 70-80k
strange coral
@tame mirage Because arcanist is a DPS. Scholar is a healer and has more healing actions but less dps actions, like other healers.
raven burrow
hmm okay :/ guess theres no shortcut for mgp
onyx kiln
if you do all the challange log enteies for gold saucer. ace the fashion report and do both lotteries, you can end up with maybe 150k MGP a week if you are lucky
so that is still a decent amount
twilit arch
fashion report is 10k for participation, 50k for getting 80+pts

grand helm
What's generally the best way to convert Tomes of Phantasmagoria into Gil?
onyx kiln
i would guess to look for what you can get in form of crafting items, check which ones is in most demand on your server and sell that of the MB. But i have never done that so can't say for sure how well it works
grand helm
Is there any good resource to check for suply/demand in a specific Server?
onyx kiln
you can sort things in the MB for what is the most in demand of that category, that will show the items that people have placed in their wish list on top and the one with the most of that kind will be on top
other then that i have no clue
grand helm
Okay, thank you!

I saw on a video that theres a problem with gear with new content
people have to spend millions of gil just to get new set for raids
is that true?
twilit arch
Assuming they're talking about neo-ish, its not necessary at all
can farm eden verse normal for same ilvl gear and that'll do just fine until you can a piece of gear from puppet's bunker or allegory tomestones
weary burrow
so should i just do crystal tower when the story asks for it or 😛
twilit arch
that video ultimately doesn't concern casual players, and even so you don't have to spend thousands of gil on new gear at the start of a new tier
if you're a hardcore raiding, then yes its ideal to do so
spare plinth
I assume it affects hardcore players
twilit arch
since pentamelded crafted gear gives you a leg up
spare plinth
But i have no plans of being hardcore and play on savage raids when i get shadowbringers
twilit arch
Then it doesn't really concern you
weary burrow
is milions a lot of gil? doesnt sound like much xd
spare plinth
and i assume in savage or hard raids the min item level will do
weary burrow
cant u craft it urself, i mean isnt that the point
warped nest
Teleporting cost 999 Gil max
faint flare
You can but that takes time out of raid
weary burrow

faint flare
So if you're pushing world first
warped nest
So a million is 1000 teleport, minimum
faint flare
You hire crafters
warped nest
You do floor 1-2 wit your previous bis
little swift
for hardcore world first races it matters
warped nest
While crafter prep stuff for your 3-4 floor
little swift
but otherwise it doesn't
faint flare
Plus not everyone has levelled crafters
Or have them geared enough
Plus you need multiple different Master books for the various receipes
Which is alot of scrips
weary burrow
do u need a guild for alliance raids?
warped nest
Guild is optional
faint flare
And easily duty finderable

oh, i unlocked my first but its grey, maybe i need more story 😛

Or more ilvl
faint flare
If you cant que for something you just unlocked, your ilvl is too low
So get some ironworks with poetics

You should get some i90 from your level 50 job quests

blokes, why does the recommened button put the worst bracelet and neck i have on me, not the best xD rest of the gear it does fine
old crypt
I see, thanks for answering my queries y'all
warped nest
primry stat
if you have a healer ring with Mind stat
not matter how high it is
it won't beat a Strength stat ring which is suited for Tank or melee dps
weary burrow
ah ok makes sense, but the bracelet has crit and whatnot
twilit arch
secondary stats are not as important as main stat
warped nest
primary stat has significantly more value in the damage calculation side
weary burrow
primary are the top omnes?
twilit arch
so it doesn't matter if it has crit, what matters is does it have your main stat
i.e intelligence/mind, etc
warped nest
strength, mind, intelligence, dexterity are the primary stats
weary burrow
so for nin that would be dex? and?
twilit arch
dex, yes
warped nest
just dex
faint flare
Jobs only have 1 main stat they use
warped nest
Strength: tank, monk, dragoon, samurai
Dexterity: Ninja, ranged Physical
Mind: healer
Intelligence: Mages
twilit arch
Vitality is also tanks main stat
so that gets taken into consideration when using recommend gear for tanks
weary burrow
i would have thought samu was also dex, but i guess not
warped nest
fair
i just don't mention it because it comes with all gear
i want to point out that this sort of recommendation mix up happens a lot less frequently later on
early on a lot of roles/jobs share gears and accessories
you will even find accessories with strength, dexterity, mind, vitality, and intelligence on it

Rarely ever spending mana other than on glares
@faint flare true as well, but sometimes I’m forced to use cure IIs in max level dungeons (don’t know if I’m doing wrong) and I have to pop thin air. If it’s on CD then I’m eating up my mana fast trying to keep the tank alive, especially at the start of the dungeon since I don’t have lilies yet
weary burrow
oh xD
faint flare
If you're having to cure 2 then your tanks are either under geared or not using cooldowns
weary burrow
i like the idea of blue mage, hopefully they update it someday xd
mossy tartan
I think the problem is me, since I literally use cure II every other pull
faint flare
You have so many off globals it tides you over for the first lily
Like Regen and asylum handles alot
warped nest
always prioritize using Ability
faint flare
And the holy

duty roulette gives daily reward, and the player let the game match make them with players who needed help, like you do
so there is a lot of things being done on the background to match make you

@mossy tartan regen that's applied under Temperance and Asylum is pretty damn beefy, i like applying a regen just before Asylum expires to snapshot the healing buff from it with Temperance
Plus weave spot for bension

Oh, it keeps the full bonus of %+ heal when applied before asylum fades?
warped nest

It snapshots everything thats up when you use it
And retains it until you next apply it
Where it snapshots again

But afterwards its much comfier
mossy tartan
Idk how you can report that
@faint flare I made the tank 30% HP, he had the damage reduction spells up (GNB, I know naught about tanking) and I was spamming holy for damage so I decided to let him go low and make use of my benediction to maximize my damage output for the insane pull
After the pull ended, he stood still for about a minute and then the machine gun trash talk came, in the end I got reported by the 3-stack players
Never again did I touch benediction

that's one person with their opinion and their two friends who is probably just as stupid

as best they can be upset that you let them ride too low and they aren't comfortable with it
but there is nothing wrong with what you are doing

I like to think that he didn’t play a healer before, or WHM at least
mossy tartan
warped nest
then maybe they shouldn't attack while tanking, cuz their job is to tank
joking aside

for future reference, just communicate a lil bit with your tank
like "i have bene ready, will let you ride low on next pull"

Relevant to current questions
warped nest
Yup
steep cargo
also would you recommend doing side quest or just push through story?
remote lintel
do 
warped nest
you can do for fun on the... Side
remote lintel
do story and blue quests except the blue quests that unlock classes that you dont want
simple shore
you should do all of these except for : "Leves of (Town Name)"
warped nest
Tbh...
plain python
do side quests for fun and bits of lore, but if it is your first class, you are going to over-leveling, lol. You can save them for your second class to give yourself something to do.

Is there something I am doing wrong. I cannot seem to participate in FATES fast enough to get rewards. by the time I click on something to cast it is dead
plain python
lag I guess
remote lintel
thats life
simple shore
Are you attempting to do Yokai event at low level?
brave agate
people are going ham on fates with the Yokai event so it can be a struggle to get involved in the fates
especially if you're internet connection isn't up to par
simple shore
If you are low level, I would suggest coming back once you complete the level 50 MSQ which unlocks flying in ARR zones. The event will be live for about 3 months so there's no rush, and right now the people who are rushing it :
A. Have flying
B. are cheesing the fuck out of it with Blue Mage
plain python
use the 300 needle attack 😮
brave agate
I have seen blue mages more often in those fates lol
remote lintel
blue mage is op thats why
oak ice
1000 needles will be useless for those things, it takes way too long
oak ice
Pick a tank and spam your AoE for easy gold

or visit less-populated server

I gotta say tho thanks for the help! you guys are great

best to do Fates when you unlock Grand Company, cuz seals

Does anyone know by how much the arr story was shortened? im level 50 but i was wondering if it makes sense to start over since i will get road to 70 for 90 days. I only had up to patch 2.1 done. Thannks
brave agate
yupp
plain python
also mount or you will never reach Fates in time
gaunt cedar
lol so not much at all
oak ice
remote lintel
road to 70 isnt worth starting the game over for
brave agate
I've heard that people have shaved off like ten hours compared to their original run of arr
remote lintel
from your point
plain python
should I just have my chocobo learn single heal target, then opts for DPS?
remote lintel
heal and dps
simple shore
If you're already past 2.1
gaunt cedar
yeah ok then that doesnt make sense then thanks
simple shore
you're past like....almost all of the cuts
gaunt cedar
nah i just beat ultima weapon then took a 2 motnh break and lost the boost, so i have all the 2.x patch quests to go trough lol
leaden ginkgo
Can someone hook me up with a parser?
simple shore
ACT is the parsing program used for the game
gaunt cedar
but doing the arr was pretty bad, so idk if i can do it again but kinda makes sense to get that boost if they srunk it enough which it soudns like the didnt
dawn rampart
will the yokai event really last a while? 😮 I see people rushing through fates so I assumed it was going to go away soon
simple shore
Here is a good set of instructions on setting up ACT :
https://gist.github.com/TomRichter/e044a3dff5c50024cf514ffb20a201a9
oak ice
The picture I posted shows all the cut quests
weary burrow
how do i learn certain blue spells if i cant que in dungeons? cause they are exclusive?
brave agate
they just want to get the weapons and mounts before anyone elese
twilit arch
@dawn rampart it'll be around 3mos or so
oak ice
You go unsynced into dungeons
weary burrow
solo?
oak ice
Or with 4 other people
brave agate
I was just running fates between other content but people were really camping out for them
twilit arch
people are just rushing because they're crazy nuts who want it done asap
simple shore
@leaden ginkgo Remember - ACT is against the ToS, but SE only enforces it if you're dumb with it. Never talk about it in-game or on-stream and you're fine.
oak ice
I'm not a crazy nut, Kael 
gaunt cedar
@oak ice Thanks. so yeah doesn't seem worth
dawn rampart
oh then I guess I'll keep with the ARR MSQ since I haven't unlocked flying mounts yet so getting around for the fates is slow T.T
half kraken
Any particular reason rdms at 80 will never revive anyone unless both healers are dead?
Dps can't be that important
simple shore
I mean, it kind of is though
half kraken
You get more dps reviving someone
oak ice
Debatable
simple shore
But the healer is capable of doing it
half kraken
Than you get from one gcd
brave agate
I sometimes revive people but yeah dps is important
I mean they are a dps class after all
simple shore
Also keep in mind that RDM mana isnt infinite
half kraken
Not if both healers don't have swiftcast up
oak ice
Sometimes people just die so much the 2400 mp is better spent elsewhere
simple shore
and, well, frankly
Especially in the 24m
if you die, im just going to assume you're oging to die some more
brave agate
lol
brave agate
I die preeeetty often so at this point I know whether or not it's even worth it to rez someone
remote lintel
@half kraken depending on the content dps IS that important
oak ice
There can, of course, be a bunch of bullshit like tanks and other alliances killing you
leaden ginkgo
Did they delete the Title: Lighter than Air ?
simple shore
Like, if someone is repeatedly eating avoidable damage and dying, its....usually someone who is also not doing alot of DPS.
dusty tundra
Question: Exodus is in Primal, correct?
remote lintel
yes
simple shore
so wasting my mana to bring them back in a state where they do even less? very questionable value
dusty tundra
Ok good. I'm in the right role
deft quiver
Are we ever going to see more glamour plates? I would personally like 1 plate per class at least
twilit arch
they removed the quest that gave the title, yeah @leaden ginkgo
leaden ginkgo
But, I wonder if "old" players keep the title or do they remove everything together?
simple shore
What was that, the old chocobo flight quest?
leaden ginkgo
yes
twilit arch
anyone who had the title before would keep it
half kraken
Idk rdms don't really have mana issues from my experience unless they do two revives in a row or something, and you can't convince me one gcd of dps beats a revive
simple shore
Yup, can confirm, i have it still
leaden ginkgo
hmm, it's weird, I never did the quest since I got the black chocobo when I got there
simple shore
Then why did you ask the question Squall.
leaden ginkgo
do they usually ninja remove achievements like that?
simple shore
Sounds like you just wanted to complain rather than get an answer from the channel, tbh. #rants is for that.
half kraken
Well you answered my question, I just don't like the answer lol
brave agate
I agree with Balmerick there
twilit arch
no, they very clearly told us they would be removing that quest and thus the achievement tied to it
remote lintel
if both healers used swiftcast and don't have lightspeed/whatever the other equivalent is, THEN rdm can revive
leaden ginkgo
iirc, they told us during server downtime
half kraken
Yea that was my premise cerberus
twilit arch
no it was a lodestone post well before maint
leaden ginkgo
hmm, I see
remote lintel
but its ehhh if they do
leaden ginkgo
I'll lookup for the title then
remote lintel
is there a good mch guide
twilit arch
!faq mchguide
zinc orbitBOT
simple shore
Its kinda surprising how much MCH has changed
it used to be one of the hardest DPS to play properly, now i'd argue its the easiest.
remote lintel
is there one in video form
woeful nacelle
Is Bojdah only weapons or is there gear upgrades?
brave agate
wait they changed MCH that much?
twilit arch
they showed off gear for bozja but we don't know how exactly we're going to get that gear
simple shore
Yeah, they really did.
MCH is super easy to play now.
So if you tried it back in HW/SB and couldnt figure it out
Strongly reccomend giving it another look
brave agate
well it looks like I might have to go MCH
sturdy grove
Should I upgrade to the collectors editions im a brand new player?
brave agate
at least while it's easy
remote lintel
if you really want them @sturdy grove
twilit arch
its up to you, collector's edition is just cosmetic items
simple shore
Its a purely cosmetic benefit
sturdy grove
hmmm
simple shore
So if you want it, buy it, otherwise dont
But you gain nothing in terms of your progression by doing so
sturdy grove
are the expansions included?
simple shore
No
sturdy grove
ok thx
oak jolt
Made my first macro:
/ac Sprint
/micon Sprint
It works but should the action be in quotations, and should I set it to only <me>?
warped nest
Why not just use Sprint button
simple shore
<me> is unnecessary because Sprint cannot be targetted at anything else.
brave agate
yeah it only works on you
simple shore
Actually isnt Sprint one of those weird ones where macro actually helps it?
I seem to recall reading that
warped nest
No clue
oak jolt
Bc I wanted to set it to my R3 and couldn't find another way. Ok thank you!
brave agate
no idea
warped nest
@oak jolt fair
brave agate
ahhh that's not a bad idea Geno
oak jolt
Ok. Noted. Prob be a while before I need more.
simple shore
I mean, i dont know anything about controller
but if a macro can solve it, then its a hotbar slot and you could just drag sprint onto that slot
brave agate
as someone who only plays on controller, I don't find it toooo difficult to flick to my hotbar with sprint but lots of games just have it on R3 so it's easy to get confused
oak jolt
Yeah. At first I tried to assign it but it kept resizing the pop up , but had to go through controller settings to set it as R3.
Too true mystic. Playing other games I hit R3 to run so needed it for myself in this one 🙂
brave agate
yeah I took a break from xiv to play ghost of tsushima so I got so used to the R3 running
I got killed far too often when I switched back lol
naive trench
is there a timer before you need to build an estate on land? I swear there was something that told you but I can't find it
faint flare
45 days normally
As then the auto demolish timer would revoke the plot
However auto demolish is paused
So
naive trench
hmm yeah
also what would the series of actions be to swap land with another person?
faint flare
You willingly give up the plot and they buy it to relocate
naive trench
ah so one of us will have to wait out the random timer?
faint flare
Then you go buy theirs when the timer is up
Alternatively
You go relocate to a 3rd plot
So they can relocate to yours
Then you relocate again. But i think there is a timer on that
tulip plover
Do you have to store gear in armoire to add it to glamour plate
naive trench
dang that's really annoying
faint flare
You dont have to store gear in thr armourie, can put it in the drsser
surreal elm
For the yokai legendary medal, is the drop rate like really low? Ive been doing fates for 30min at Coerthas Western and not 1
faint flare
But putting in the armourie is free
So no reason not to if it can go in
Its decently high drop rate but rng is rng
tulip plover
How do u do that
faint flare
Not as bad as last time
Only specific items can go in the armourie, mainly event and lv50 job gear
And it has to be fully repaired
Then you just go to thr armourie, select it and shove it in
surreal elm
Where do people usually go grind the fates for the yokai medals?
tulip plover
Ok so i just opened the dark knight armoury chest but i cant find the pieces?
tulip plover
Still dont see it
simple shore
Which chest did you open
tulip plover
Dark knight
simple shore
Which one
tulip plover
The one you get for the lvl 50 job quest

Thats just some generic tank gear

there's no mechanic that makes people take more damage?

if they don't stand in separate safe spots?

I mean, failing makes you take more damage

Just be in a safe area

does reporting someone for botting actually do anything?

should i even bother with that?

Crafted primal weapons*

it was a player using bot for housing
mossy tartan
How do I know which one is the crafted version from the market board?
oak ice
You can only buy the crafted one
simple shore
"Using bot for housing"?
twilit arch
the crafted version is the only one that can be sold on the marketboard
mossy tartan
I see, thank you
oak ice
Probably a spam clicker?
simple shore
You probably arent going to have any success at reporting someone if all they're doing is using an autoclicker, tbh
dusk zenith
ah i see
simple shore
Like, its "not allowed" but its also kind of impossible to detect.

Because it's important to ARR story

still a waste of time to do, regardless of if you like the story or not

crimson wind
For NIN Summon in SoS EX, who gets stacks?

do you mean WAR/SMN?

crude marten
Anyway to come back to a dungeon you've accidentally left?
I feel like a jackass when i mistakenly left because i thought the portal was to go FORWARD in a dungeon, but it was to leave.
Felt really bad knowing I let people down
simple shore
Nope
oak ice
Lol
simple shore
Not really any reason to feel bad though. They just got a replacement from DF within a minute or two most likely.
crude marten
@simple shore oh cool that clears my conscience
oak ice
Unless you manage to get into the same group with "queue in progress" you won't, but you would have a 30 minute penalty for being the first to leave, and then I'm not even sure the game would assign you to that dungeon
crude marten
@oak ice yeah i dreaded the penalty notice when i saw it
oak ice
It's just 30 minutes, smell the flowers for a bit and it passes faster than gas
simple shore
Im pretty sure that its impossible to get into the same dungeon twice
oak ice
Yeah, I have never heard of a precedent for it, but I also haven't heard of anyone testing it
twilit arch
it use to be that you could get the same dungeon in progress
but they changed it because if you kicked someone who was being a dick
they could continue to be a dick
twilit arch
and that's counter intuitive when you kick someone for those reasons

I'm in Uldah, I want to take the chocobo to a city closeby, but I can only find the one to rent for 10 minutes
Is there a place to take the taxi one?

Any people on crystal who can invite my buddies and I to a group?

Not a city really, some little place nearby

trail prairie
does lucid dreaming not work under astral fire?
twilit arch
no it doesn't
desert rain
do people use this discord for finding groups? I'm desparate to finish shiva unreal but feel like a group without voice doesn't really succeed
trail prairie
then what's the point... 
twilit arch
its a caster role action 🤷♀️
blm doesn't have a use for it
outside of some very niche optimization
twilit arch
the only reason why i can think of that black bush isn't an option is that you didn't talk to the porter in black bush @north junco
north junco
I think it's because I didn't talk to the uldah guy before now
When I closed it and reopened it had porter options now
limpid sorrel
Hey, I'm a bit confused on what my 7 key and that icon that my mouse is hovering in regards to what they do.
plush hound
7 is your Tank stance ability. Activating that (it's a toggle) will allow all your attacks to generate more threat from struck mobs. Critical for group fights
stuck ingot
why am I not getting progress towards my ARR relic weapon while doing the yokai event
halcyon glen
That 7 key rn is Iron Will or some other stupid official name. For convenience sake we’re calling it Tank Stance. Until you know what you’re doing, it’s a toggle and you want it on 100% of the time @limpid sorrel
plush hound
What stage are you at on your weapon?
halcyon glen
Basically when you have that toggled on, enemies you hit will want to murder you rather than your friends
stuck ingot
atma , the fates from noscea
limpid sorrel
Thx thx for the info @halcyon glen @plush hound (:
plush hound
Ah, Atma. Could just be bad luck. Atmas are not easily surrendered.

Hey so I finally got my first class to level 30, do I have to wait until a certain point in the msq to make the jump from beginner class to official class or what?
warped nest
!faq job
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
The recommendation is to use 2-3 different combat jobs to siphon off the extra exp
It helps your progression too, using tank/healer to get faster dungeon queue
Etc
bleak lotus
makes sense
warped nest
And use whatev you like on everything else
bleak lotus
I thought I was barred from MSQ for being too low level when I switched classes once though
so I guess it's just back to doing side quests
halcyon glen
You do get temporary barred yes
But you also get bonus catch-up exp
for every job that isn’t your highest
bleak lotus
Doesn't it already cap out at 100%?
halcyon glen
Ha! Nope.
bleak lotus
hype
only asked that because I tried eating something for that sweet sweet bonus 3% and it didn't do anything
halcyon glen
Some modifiers apply to different things - the food bonus usually only applies to exp from killing bad things afaik
bleak lotus
makes sense
halcyon glen
So no food buff on that end of roulette exp
twilit arch
it applies to crafting and gathering as well
but it doesn't apply to quest exp or end of dungeon exp
halcyon glen
I meant on combat jobs
north junco
Any one knowledgeable about the free trial?
bleak lotus
time to drop lancer for conjurer 
leaden ginkgo
conjurer is the best queues xD
north junco
I did a quest to give some guy a hi potion, I had to buy it for 146 gil, it was supposed to give me 3 objects that sell for 100 gil each. I got nothing.
halcyon glen
We also get Raya-o, who is absolutely precious
leaden ginkgo
you press "join" and you instantly get a queue
north junco
So I'm just out gil if I do quests like these?
bleak lotus
I kinda wanna try everything but at the same time I know you kinda have to stick to one class to not peter out in the msq
leaden ginkgo
when you get to level 80 then you should try everything, at least wha tI did
halcyon glen
@north junco the free trial has a hard cap of 300k Gil
bleak lotus
I am on free trial so idk if that allows me to get to 80 but I'm planning on it
