i started the free trial a couple of days ago and im wondering is overleveling a problem? I'm about to start a quest called "Wrath of the Titan" and im 10 lvls higher (30vs39)
nova umbra
overleveling is good
marble drift
you'll be synced down for content that matters
so just be overleveled. it doesn't matter
nova umbra
especially at the beginning, you'll be way over the quest level
but you'll equalize later
hallow hull
ok, thanks. i started on twintania, if that matters
median locust
yeah it just brings you down to an appopriate level for dungeons and solo instances. You'll kill overworld mobs faster but it's not like those are meaningful encounters anyway lmao

https://Suika.is-a-good-waifu.moe/WpKhE8.png it says I get conjurer exp points? does it also contribute to my whm?
hasty reef
if you're on a preffered server you get a little icon at the top of the screen right?
yes
marble drift
conjurer IS white mage
marble drift
you always get experiance for the base class
frank wigeon
does anyone know the macroicon for yokai legendary medals?
marble drift
which is why Summoner and Scholar level together. the experiance is given to Arcanist
and Arcanist controls both
median locust
/micon item "Item name"
I think?
marble drift
only the job crystal seperates them
median locust
since it's an item
median locust
Thanks, I wasn't sure
frank wigeon
nope 😦 did not work /micon item "IJibanyan Couch Medal" item
/micon item "Jibanyan Couch Medal" item
median locust
/micon "Jibanyan Couch Medal" item
This requires you to have the item in your inventory
afaik
frank wigeon
sorry did it again, and it did not work, its weird huh xD
frank wigeon
worked!!! thank you @median locust and @twilit arch
twilit arch
the couch medal is the same as yokai watch medals, so probably work if you use that instead
unborn dock
is there scheduled maintenance for today?
twilit arch
yes
agile laurel
in about 20 hrs?
unborn dock
oh, my apologies. thank you.
hasty reef
Hey, how does lving up your chocobo work? Like if you have exp bonuses does that apply to them too? Trying to get mine to heal while soloing fates
twilit arch
no, chocobos earn their own exp whenever you kill mobs
hasty reef
dang, wishing I didn't ignore it till shadowbringers now
nova umbra
is doton used only once prepull and that's it?
median locust
It's also used in AoE, afaik it's only used prepull cause you can use it, refresh your mudras, then do something else without pulling aggro
so it's extra damage
marble drift
iirc doton isn't used at all outside aoe
median locust
if the tank can pull the boss into it, it's free damage
marble drift
right but alot of encounters thats not really feasible
median locust
yeah so it's situational
lavish vortex
How do you get approved items for Ishgard restoration?
median locust
Gather them from Diadem then approve them at the counter where you queued for Diadem
Or buy approved items from the market board
can only approve in multiples of 10
median locust
It's a counter west of the entrance when you enter the firmament
agile laurel
at the mission commander dude in the firmamemtn
median locust
There's 2 NPCs, one for queueing, one for approving mats
agile laurel
there's 2 NPCs at a counter on the left side, one approves materials and one queues for firm-
yeah
that
lavish vortex
Nice! Thanks!
agile laurel
however approved mats are generally dirt cheap on MB except in major bulk, so if you need a certain type of material I'd not lose sleep over it
think the only time i made a noticeable dent in my gil was when i bought enough to make 120 beds for the pegasus, and even then i probably spent more on the things that weren't firmament
plain python
does guildest goes up to lv80?
green grail
ye they end at 50
granite swan
Are we suppose to get Ishgard Houses sometime?
agile laurel
'sometime'
and 'probably'
that's the best anyone can say
smart money says if they ever come it'll probably be in 6.0 at least so sit tight
granite swan
Ah, interesting. Thanks
plain python
I stuck at solemn trinity cuz no one queue lol D:
zinc orbitBOT
agile laurel
if it's any consolation
you don't really need to do it
like, at all
guildhests don't relate to anything whatsoever, are pretty ass xp, and don't unlock anything beside themselves
green grail
yeah its just tutorial content pretty much
lavish vortex
@agile laurel thanks! I’ll only farm for the expensive ones... I’m very short on Gil haha I have like 80 k
granite swan
and everything else, rip lol
marble drift
honestly I feel they put so much effort into those footsteps I don't see why you'd hate em
they speed up when you speed up. they change in a dime between wood and metal or grass and sand
granite swan
Cause im about to murder my minion >.>
marble drift
well while farming yokai turn off the sound effects
then back when you're done. easy
granite swan
true

verbal ravine
Hey there, I'm completely new to this and have never played a MMO, I just want to know if it's possible to be a Tank who fights with fists ? If so, what starting job should I take ?
median locust
No
twilit arch
unfortunately no tanks fight with their fists
lavish vortex
Hi! I’m looking for approved grade 2 sky builders barbgrass, I go to the spot where they are supposed to be, but the node don’t have them... Am I missing something?
verbal ravine
Shaaaame
median locust
Tank options use these:
Sword and Shield
Big axe
Big sword
Gunblade
twilit arch
Diadem's nodes don't quite work like open world nodes do
lavish vortex
@twilit arch oh, thanks, how do they work?
verbal ravine
True, but I heard there aren't many tanks, so I'd like to fill the role
twilit arch
in that there's no specific location for them, they basically flip flop based on the previous nodes you've hit. So its not really ideal to go into diadem to go to a specific spot/location for nodes, its better to just essentially do laps around the islands. Gathering whatever you need (or what will sell decently if the node doesn't have what you want)
twilit arch
like if you want a specific item you should b e using the augur to blow up mobs
lavish vortex
Got it! Thanks!!!
raven glen
how do i disable lock on with L3 on controller?
verbal ravine
So if I was a healer, what sort of starting class do you take
median locust
The only starting healer is Conjurer which turns into White Mage
west spruce
^
median locust
You can also pick Arcanist which is DPS until level 30, then you unlock both Summoner and Scholar.
Summoner is a caster DPS, Scholar is a healer
verbal ravine
Difficulty wise is it all the same ? I've never played games with raids and all that
median locust
White Mage is considerably easier than Scholar
Scholar is a pet healer and has a lot of tools
marble drift
Scholar benefits from knowing when the damage is coming to your allies before it happens
verbal ravine
Oh that's cool
marble drift
White mage is fine to pick up AFTER the damage goes out
verbal ravine
Ooooh, so White mage heals, Scholar mitigates
marble drift
basically. both heal however.
median locust
Yeah Scholar makes fat shields. White Mage is good at letting people heal after the damage with regen effects
while they do other stuff
forest laurel
what's the priority for augmenting crystarium items? should I do belt or right-side first?
verbal ravine
Phat Shields are cool
forest laurel
marble drift
with a big crit and help from a cooldown
they functionally give dps another 50% of thier health
means you can do alot of bullshit in raid and not die.
verbal ravine
I'm an indecisive guy, to what extent can you change stuff once you're in game ?
median locust
You can level up every single job in the game on a single character
And switch on the fly with no downside
verbal ravine
So you can be everything
marble drift
everything
verbal ravine
That's awesome
marble drift
crafters and gatherers included
marble drift
which are "classes" but not for combat. leveled through other means
median locust
clear the dungeon
verbal ravine
I'm sat here like "Oh no if I choose a magic class I'm gonna be stuck being a heal slut for the rest of my life"
verbal ravine
That's really cool
marble drift
I literally have danced between classes for 3 expacs running Marsh
you are not locked in the slighest
verbal ravine
Well thanks for the help
proven bay
@verbal ravine I think you might be able to get an emperor glam that makes it invisible. At least you can for clothes and jewelry. Not sure about weapons
marble drift
gearing ALL of them to their best in slot gear is a behemoth task however
and not reccomended
so while you can level everything
median locust
You can only hide Monk weapons
marble drift
its best to focus on a few
proud willow
there is an Emperor weapon for Monk
median locust
and Paladin shields
verbal ravine
Yeah I'll try getting to level 30 first, I have doubts about that ^^
proven bay
Oh, well there you go
proud willow
so it looks like you're fighting bare-handed
marble drift
You cannot hide paladin shields anymore iirc.
the Spirit Shield was pvp gear. removed atm
marble drift
thought that went with it?
oh. cool.
cause there was the "heroic spirit shield" before

in a video i watched
verbal ravine
Oh and when do you start doing your first dungeons with parties ? Do you have to do a lot of "Go fetch me 17 wolf hides" quests ?
keen fable
he did a bit that took undraw, and stuck it in the recycle bin of windows
marble drift
Not if you focus on MSQ Marsh
proven bay
Not very far into the game actually
keen fable
is it that bad of an ability
proven bay
You encounter your first dungeon at level 16

the unlock quest is in vesper bay @stray bronze
verbal ravine
@marble drift MSQ ? is that Main Quests ?
marble drift
Just....put the card on someone
green grail
oh discord didnt scroll ignore me
marble drift
Yes. shorthand for that
keen fable
is there ever a situation where you would use it
marble drift
No
median locust
It's because the Emperor's Shield is an MGP item. The rest of the Emperor's stuff can be bought from a vendor in Mor Dhona. @proven bay
stray bronze
@marble drift Aha. Thank you. What's the name of the quest?
proven bay
Oh @median locust I see

then why is it there

spiral idol
sorry where do u bbuy ghysal greens again
keen fable
what do i do with the antique gear
marble drift
you can either turn it in for job gear or just pitch it
keen fable
where can i turn it in for job gear?
marble drift
@spiral idol Various vendors. Closest one I know is real close to the Gridania aetheryte
Mor Dhona iirc?
I think it gives the same stuff your class quests do?
spiral idol
oh okay
sour spoke
Did they remove house of splendours from the timer page under duties?
marble drift
Yes its no longer fluid
turn ins are static since 5.3 dropped
yeah I just checked @keen fable antique items turn in for the same stuff you get as part of your job quests
you'd already gotten everything it could give you
keen fable
i could use it for gear for astrologian though right?
granite swan
Can you convert it and then sell it for GC? :p
twilit arch
no
antique gear is basically artifact gear 1.5, in that its recoloured version of the lvl 50 job gear
which astrologian doesn't have
only ARR jobs do
marble drift
you can trade them in for GC seals Mael
keen fable
well..
granite swan
ok
sour spoke
@marble drift I didn't know that they are static now is there a website or a list instead now so I can keep track?
keen fable
so i don't need to convert them into regular gear to turn in for gc seals then?
marble drift
Go into your crafting log
twilit arch
The turn ins are in their own section on the crafting log
marble drift
^
twilit arch
you would
twilit arch
the antique tokens are solely for exchanging for the gear
marble drift
they can be largely ignored outside of that however. they're a relic of an old system
leaden ginkgo
I'm a returning player that only played ARR and just got to level 80, what's the best way to get back into raiding, currently only ilvl 425
keen fable
where in the crafting log may i do this
marble drift
You can pick up Crystarium gear for weekly tomestones Azure
and crafted gear through your own crafting or through the marketboard
marble drift
Eulmore
leaden ginkgo
kk ty
marble drift
Don't forget to get your free 485 weapon
hot eagle
do your msq to unlock the new 80 dungeons, farm phantasmagoria for 460/470 deepshadow or farm eden gate for 450 and eden verse for 480, also can buy 480 from mb
marble drift
by starting your resistance weapon chain. you'll need to have completed the stormblood alliance raids to get the quest
leaden ginkgo
ah, I haven't done the alliance raids for sb yet, I've only completed up to heavensward
marble drift
they don't have to be in order
but to do the resistance weapon chain (think Zodiac weapons from ARR)
you need those Stormblood alliance raids done
leaden ginkgo
and it gives you a 485 weapon? should start there then
marble drift
Yes thats as far as the chain goes currently
in 5.35 we'll advance that a bit.
we're on patch 5.3 now. so. soonish
median locust
wait, "I've only completed up to heavensward", I hope that means the alliance raids and not the main story?
leaden ginkgo
the crafted gear you mentioned is neo-ishgardian?
marble drift
Yes
leaden ginkgo
my MSQ is done up to grand cosmos dungeon where my ilvl is too low in shb
marble drift
Ah yes. Don't focus on raiding right now
signal gull
what is the item "Mol Banner" for? got it from the MQ and no idea what to do with it
twilit arch
its a housing item
marble drift
meet that cap and continue with your msq Azure
signal gull
ohh
marble drift
you can get some freebie dungeon gear from the brand new dungeon which is 475.
leaden ginkgo
Alright, crafted gear is rather expensive so I'll see what I can get
marble drift
it'll get you through the normal raids which give 480 pieces
sour steppe
doing anima relic quests as blm, do i also need to do the fates as a blm to get the crystals to drop?
twilit arch
no
leaden ginkgo
yeah my ilvl is only 425
twilit arch
so long as you have the quest active, you can do the fates on any job
marble drift
right which is why I said "meet that cap and continue with your msq"
sour steppe
ok thx
median locust
You just need the appropriate quest active to get the crystals
winter nimbus
is there a farming group for yo kai medal?
leaden ginkgo
alright
marble drift
you can also pick up some 460 deepshadow stuff from tomes
median locust
there are tons of farming groups, check party finder under the Fates section
sour spoke
The turn ins are in their own section on the crafting log
Is there also the same thing for gathering?
twilit arch
gatherer turn ins are largely timed node items
leaden ginkgo
So what would the fastest way for tomes of pantasmagoria be? Since I'm looking at the gear and it's ilvl 460 which would let me do most things
marble drift
dungeons are your only recourse
hot eagle
roulettes and grinding lvl80 dungeons

marble drift
you can't do grand cosmos but you can do the ones before that

Hunt trains if you can hop onto them
leaden ginkgo
hunt trains?
median locust
Pixie Beast Tribe
marble drift
but if your server is hella populated your pc and net better be up to scratch
Elemental Hunt Trains are ridiculous.
leaden ginkgo
No worries there, I'm running gshade as well
marble drift
without good net and FFXIV on a solid state drive you're fucked
median locust
Tons of people party up and go kill all A-rank hunts in Shadowbringers back to back. This is what a hunt train is
plain python
someone whispers me. So no way to tell him back as free-trial? 😮
median locust
Nope
marble drift
nope
leaden ginkgo
Never done hunts since they didn't exist in ARR, what exactly are they?
median locust
Kill rare overworld mobs for rewards
basically
There's B-ranks, A-ranks and S-ranks, each give more than the last
B-ranks only give stuff if you have the hunt bill for them, they respawn near-instantly but in a random spot
A-ranks don't require a bill and spawn every few hours. There's two per map. This is the kind of mob hunt trains go for.
leaden ginkgo
Hmm I assume this is what that hunting board is for? I've seen the quest and done it for every dlc but never really looked into it
median locust
S-ranks require specific conditions to spawn and can only spawn once every few days
marble drift
#kupo-bot-spam please
median locust
don't think kupo bot takes edits
plain python
I need MSQ to hunt?
median locust
Need to rank up in your grand company
At one point you'll unlock a quest that gives you access to hunts
median locust
No
@leaden ginkgo Hunting board have 4 bills on them usually. 3 of them for random common overworld mobs, and the 4th one is for a random B-rank for that expansion. B-ranks can be soloed.
1-3 are refreshed daily, 4 is weekly
leaden ginkgo
yeah, I'm looking at it in crystarium
median locust
Hunts are also a decent way to get some starter gear
You can buy iLv440 gear with Sacks of Nuts
leaden ginkgo
do I just randomly accept one?
leaden ginkgo
oh damn, alright
median locust
and you'll get currency
plain python
how to access umbra isles? I need kill a few hunt targets there
simple shore
For "Normal" hunts, this site is very useful to track your daily kill list :
median locust
There's a Ferry Skipper in Aleport @plain python
You can also fly there if you're far enough in MSQ.
leaden ginkgo
alright going to start with all the suggestions, thanks guys
plain python
the ferry refused to carry me there
marble drift
advance in your MSQ
median locust
yeah MSQ then
The MSQ is required to do literally anything over level 50, and most things under 50
so don't slack on your MSQ :p
marble drift
honestly there should be a kupobot command that literally just says "Its msq locked."

fallow adder
hi
i have a question for buying game time
i bought the game over steam and want to add game time does it have to be a payment with steam wallet for it to work or does something like crysta payment do the trick too?
bitter plaza
crysta works too
twilit arch
you can pay with crysta but you might need to use an incognito or different web browser if you've gone to the mogstation site via steam
twilit arch
if you use the steam launcher to go to the mogstation, it adds a tag or whatever to the website like -issteam i think or something. makes it so that some people can't use other payment options
and can only use steam wallet as a means of payment, so that's why i mentioned using incognito/different browser
twilit arch
then shouldn't have the issue i mentioned
fallow adder
okay thanks!

tidal yarrow
i thought you need to stand with your back on the spear on f14?
someone on my side was literally facing it
agile laurel
no reason. its the horse that propels you not your orientation
tidal yarrow
ahh
median locust
You only need to face Ramuh if you're the tank taking him
tidal yarrow
also, do i lose lock on when the boss jumps on S/N during that?
im tryna having more uptime
median locust
if you're not MT you don't need to face a spear
tidal yarrow
but for some reason when i chase him after that my hits dont land
agile laurel
although I can see the appeal in facing ramuh even if you're taking a spear, in the event you come to move after f14 and somehow walk off due to looking the wrong way

Oh. then how do people meld for multiple classes?

how do i get the dyeable version of the lv 70 class gear?
agile laurel
compromise, if you must
stable herald
you cant have multiple crystarium gear, no?
agile laurel
@raven burrow eureka
The melds are largely similar
They only differ in specific cases
agile laurel
Take the quest 'and we shall call it eureka' from rhalgrs
follow it and do all the stuff
have the level 70 gear you want to dye on you
raven burrow
does it take very long to do that?
agile laurel
you may wish to search for a general guide to eureka
Just for dyeable class gear? Not really
You only need to do the first stage of eureka for that
marble drift
honestly this is an MMO
raven burrow
hmm okay thanks
marble drift
you should assume everything takes time
and be pleasantly surprised when it doesn't
agile laurel
I can get a eureka item done in like, 3 hours if my eureka instance happens to be woke
but I've got levels for Anemos so
raven burrow
i know, ive heard about eureka weapons and their grind, if the dyeable lv 70 class gear is anywhere close to that im skipping it
agile laurel
as said, you only need the first stage for dyeable AF3
marble drift
nah the dyeable stormblood class gear is a smidge of work
agile laurel
yeah
raven burrow
kk :)
marble drift
nowhere near the Eurekan weaponry grind
I belive its the only way to get your stereotypical big wide brim straw hat in a dyeable form
for samurai
leaden ginkgo
the first set of eureka gear is easy but after that it’s a loooong grind
agile laurel
Possibly. Idk if the level 1 glam straw hat is dyeable
raven burrow
how do i go back to eureka? i think ive done that first quest already
marble drift
I belive it is not

hey guys, I recently finished shadowbringers msq and started the post story quests. gotta get 430ilvl gear to progress any advice on how to go about it?
agile laurel
go get your class gear from grenoldt
maybe spam dungeons if you can, maybe buy deepshadow gear if you can
deft yarrow
is there anyway to download the game before buying it?
reef pewter
yea ive done that and finished the twinning and the academia dungeon
is there anyway to download the game before buying it?
@deft yarrow you can download the free trial
agile laurel
the class gear is full 430 left side
leaden ginkgo
the trial allows you to download
agile laurel
so if you buy deepshadow right side gear
deft yarrow
I'm wanting to buy it on pc
reef pewter
the class gear is full 430 left side
@agile laurel it is minus the belt right?
ah nice il look into that then thanks
agile laurel
Oh yeah minus the belt
leaden ginkgo
also it’s not the most ideal but the market board might have what else you need like the belt ^^
agile laurel
So you just need deepshadow accessories to hit 430, and probably not even a full set
Yes, but neo ishgardian gear is utterly decimated on most MBs since 5.3
reef pewter
yea i checked the mb im not willing to spend 200k on the neo ishgardian gear haha
leaden ginkgo
true it’s so overpriced atm
reef pewter
thanks for the help il check the deepshadow gear out ^^
agile laurel
yeah it was at like 50k ea prior to the patch and then 5.3 dropped and the market committed toaster bath
leaden ginkgo
yep gearing new classes is a struggle now
marble drift
get your relic weapon
its 485
it requires completion of the stormblood alliance raid chain
but otherwise first one is free
reef pewter
yea started the quest today, raid q time was like an hour didnt manage to get in
deft yarrow
I'm trying to buy the complete edition but I'm a little worried about if I am buying the correct version. The product is listed with :
This is a restricted product and it can be activated and played ONLY in Europe.
I live in Australia but my region is listed as : Europe & Other Regions
In my Square Enix Account Information section
marble drift
its fine you're on the right track
BUT
your account. where did you make it?
steam?
or windows
deft yarrow
I made it on ps4 I think
marble drift
ah right yes the other option
deft yarrow
I don't own anything on pc atm
marble drift
is the edition you're trying to buy for ps4?
twilit arch
If you're listed under Europe and other regions, then you need to buy an EU code
deft yarrow
I was just concerned because it listed with: This is a restricted product and it can be activated and played ONLY in Europe.
twilit arch
all that matters is that the region code matches your account
hot eagle
were are u trying to buy it from? hopefully not g2a or another reseller or u risk your account if u are unlucky
twilit arch
there's only 3 regions (5 if you wanna be pendantic): NA, EU, and JP
your account falls under one of those three so you have to buy a region code for one of them. If your account information says "Europe and Other Regions" then you have to buy a European code
your account will not accept an NA or JP code
marble drift
which is super dumb as Australians generally play on NA or JP servers
yet...EU account
🤷♂️
twilit arch
that has no bearing on account region

what exactly do i have to do in eureka to upgrade the class gear, just kill mobs and join fates?
twilit arch
basically if you're going to be forced off the boss for 2-3 gcds/to keep stacks @thorn rivet
twilit arch
pretty much, you need to collect protean crystals to augment the gear
raven burrow
hm ok
thorn rivet
Is tornado kick also as useless as ever
marble drift
@tidal yarrow the only other thing I can suggest is overcommiting
instead of being close, be literally the furthest back you can be without going off
tidal yarrow
whats that?
marble drift
and pray
tidal yarrow
oh yeah thats what im tryna do. idgaf if i got ledged back by first group
marble drift
back as in away from the knockback. not down the line
twilit arch
tornado kick is used pretty rarely, yah
marble drift
see where your black mage is?
tidal yarrow
yeah i will stand as furthest as possible
marble drift
I don't believe theres a mechanic that fucks you up harder based on lag
than that one (in this tier)
deft yarrow
ok now that I've purchased the game how do I download it on pc ; ;??
tidal yarrow
hold on
twilit arch
also just to note while yes form shift can be used to refresh stacks, its what you want to use if you're forced away from the boss for several gcds
twilit arch
six-sided star, as i said, is used if you're forced away for a short time (3 gcds or less)
scarlet arrow
perhaps Tornado Kick will be useful in 5.4
marble drift
sorry yeah couldn't see the symbol saw purple and thought it was the black mage
twilit arch
https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/eu/ @deft yarrow
tidal yarrow
yaya just clarifying
marble drift
for all we know it could be a matter of pixels between the horses taking you off or not
deft yarrow
@twilit arch ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
marble drift
I would also advise checking the Balance discord see if they have any other tips for mitigating the bullshit
thorn rivet
So when I hit 4 stacks of greased lightning do I switch back to fists of fire and go ham?
marble drift
although be prepared for the responses to be "just dont lag lol"
twilit arch
no, you should remain in fist of wind once you can hit gl4
agile laurel
if you don't have GL4 unlocked stay fire forever. If you do, get to gl3, weave wind, and stay in wind
Because cancelling wind loses your 4th GL
twilit arch
I think you mean fire for that first part
agile laurel
Uh yes
visual flame
okay, im gonna ask the most annoying question -- im asking because ive read too much conflicting information online -- what is the most efficient way to get level 25>50 on a job? my high level main is WHM so ill have the xp boost but the job im leveling is BLM
twilit arch
do your daily roulettes, after that if your dungeon queues are 15+minutes do palace of the dead
if they're under 15, then do highest level dungeon
if you have squadrons unlocked and raised, you can also do dungeons with them instead
visual flame
yeah, i was curious about squadrons but i havent set mine up yet honestly. ill just queue and craft on repeat i guess
tidal yarrow
do i have to finish 5.0 to unlock e5s?
wispy parcel
yes
twilit arch
palace of the dead leveling also kind of assumes you've got floors 51-60 unlocked
but that said if you're going to level other dps jobs, probably worth while to get that done
visual flame
ive never been to palace of the dead - i just finished ARR on my WHM and i decided i want to do the bridge quests and expansions BLM
twilit arch
palace of the dead is unlocked in gridania, "The house that death built" is the name of the quest
you queue for it in quarrymill
visual flame
okay, cool thank you for the tips
median locust
You need to clear floors 1-50 once then you'll unlock a checkpoint, so you can start at 51-60 everytime
51-60 over and over is what's "optimal" for exp
visual flame
okay cool. how is matchmaking? should i try to find premade to do that easily?
twilit arch
floors 1-10 can be done pretty easily with a matched party
the floors between those and 51-60 though are probably going to take a bit
scarlet arrow
as an aside, there's story in the Palace of the Dead that requires you to have completed Tam-Tara Deepcroft (Hard)
twilit arch
since generally no one queues for those, as most people have 51-60 unlocked and are just farming those
visual flame
@scarlet arrow thank you, i will do that
leaden ginkgo
I’ve just finished lv50 msq recently and i cant seem to find the next class quests for whm (im lv57atm) is it true that i have to get through all the arr patch msqs until HW to unlock it ?
twilit arch
yes, you do
wispy parcel
Yea
twilit arch
It'll be the same for the 60-70 job quests, in that you'll need to reach stormblood to be able to do those
median locust
makes sense because the new job quests make you visit the new expansion's areas
you wouldn't be able to reach the quest objective anyway even if you could pick them up
vernal urchin
at least with 60-70 you still unlock skills without needing to do quests, besides the 70 skill
but with 50-60 you need to do the quests to get skills lol
leaden ginkgo
Tyvm!! :)
Yeah i have the skills for lily gauges already and idk what to do w them

Heard fflogs was gonna be trying something new with downtime in fights... I'd ask in #smn_questions on the Balance, they might know what's going on

Were you on a dummy

yes.

Cause the overkill thing and stuff
agile laurel
okay. fair enough
inner jackal
Is BIS for level 60 Augmented Shire?
agile laurel
i know my demi rotations are perfect so I'll assume it's a non issue
faint flare
Thats easy to get, yes
agile laurel
augmented shire/alexander savage yes
median locust
Shire + Alex + Proto Ultima + BLU set if you're asking for Blue Mage
inner jackal
Oh, is there a level 60 BLU set?
faint flare
Yes
agile laurel
accessories, a wep and a mask
agile laurel
i believe some of the gear is better over alex/shire because blu consumes crit rate
inner jackal
I didn't realize there were level 60 BLU quests. I never got access to one.
faint flare
Yeah, the blue gear has a ton of crit
little swift
You needed to do more masked carnivale to unlock more blu job quests
agile laurel
also uh. i guess i should just blame wack striking dummy parses again?
keen fable
Is there something that I should be using to analyze my rotations from ACT and figuring out where to improve

Anyone know how often a world's population status updates? Looking to make a character on a "congested but not really congested" world and had assumed I'd be safe on a weekday morning, but it's already full up.

Short: changes dramatically based on population
Best bet is late at night
When people are sleeping
median locust
Depends on when people are online. Too many people online, can't create a character
polar bolt
Right, I'm asking if you know when they update the count
faint flare
Its dramatic
median locust
It's live I'm pretty sure
polar bolt
Got it, thanks
keen fable
Is there a way to analyze a fight from an ACT file?
median locust
no you have to upload it
faint flare
You upload it to fflogs then go from there
median locust
If you want to analyse how you did beyond just checking stats
keen fable
is fflogs only for raids though?
faint flare
It has dungeons but those are somewhat wack
plain python
can I take back a slotted material?
keen fable
I see
I found the uploader, but I'm having trouble getting a log file from ACT, all i see are exports, and none are leading me to a log file
median locust
They're just meant to differenciate
ionic hazel
and the % at the very left
little swift
Probably just visual choice
faint flare
It means the percentile
Grey is bottom of the barrel
Green is ok ish. Below average
Blue is average
Purple is above average
Orange/gold is top of the class
little swift
Percentile is how you compare to others who have uploaded their parse
median locust
And pink is 99
little swift
Higher is better obviously
simple shore
Darkfox since when are you doing content that you could be parsing in
Arent you like, just coming out of ARR?
keen fable
nevermind, figured it out
and yea i was just kinda curious
curiosity killed the cat, as they say
simple shore
There's not gonna be anything for that content
median locust
can still upload and look at the parse
BUT
we linked xivanalysis earlier
that ONLY works for level 80 content
median locust
and it's really only tuned for raids
faint flare
Raids are usually the best place to test as you cant build gauges/resources prior so you can do proper openers and you can mechanics to deal with which is part of learning and improving your job and how you handle uptime while doing mechanics
keen fable
generally you want as close to a 100% uptime as possible, right?\
leaden ginkgo
are all the mounts account wide or character bound?
faint flare
Under that leads to a fair amount of lost gcd/skill usage in general
keen fable
so the people i've been doing low dungeons with that have a 65% uptime while i have a 98%
median locust
All in-game mounts are character bound, some cash shop mounts are account wide but not all
faint flare
@leaden ginkgo everything is character bound to exception of mounts explicitly listed as Account mount on Mogstation
median locust
pretty sure you can't obtain that one anymore
faint flare
If its not listed as Account mount on Mogstation, its not account wide
keen fable
the white kitty kat on mogstation is account wide

Unless they change savage loot again next expansion, it will be relevant for awhile to come

cooL! do we know when they will remove the limit of savage loot? if you have an estimate?
frank wigeon
oooo in a few weeks nice thank you!!
little swift
so the people i've been doing low dungeons with that have a 65% uptime while i have a 98%
@keen fable I wouldn't put much stock in general dungeon performance its where lots of people learn
keen fable
i figured, just found it odd that it's so low
little swift
They have said that they'll release savage lockout early
robust crow
as far as watering garden plants go
are you supposed to water it every 24 earth hours, or just once per daily reset
little swift
So 5.35 might be when
frank wigeon
do we have an estimate on how many weeks is 5.35? seems like december
frank wigeon
/facepalm ohh
faint flare
So probably late September/early October
keen fable
is 6.0 coming soon?
faint flare
6.0 is like next year
frank wigeon
thank you !!
keen fable
wait so if they release a savage lockout wouldnt that make gear really easy to get?
faint flare
Typically around summer but x
Covid happen
keen fable
or do they only do that in preparation for a new one
faint flare
Though doesn't matter for most raiders since they'll get the new crafted gear
Which will be i510
keen fable
is crafted gear better than dropped gear?
little swift
Releasing lockout doesn't make gear that much easier to get
faint flare
So its the easiest you can get week 1
little swift
Since you still need to clear the floors for the loot
little swift
Because you can get a full decent set ready for savage right away
Instead of building up gear through normal and then jumping into savage
faint flare
And again, the new crafted gear will be 510
keen fable
well, i get that for new content, but how would a lockout for earlier gear affect that?
faint flare
The best you can get without weekly lock

Au Ra's can wear all sorts of headgear, right?
And using Phantasia allows you to re-edit your character and their race from scratch, without losing progress?

Fantasia basically takes you back to character creator to re edit everything

um, so this randomally popped up. does anyone know how to remove this?
i assume it's from ACT, but it's never been there before

Question regarding summoner: Will the job be more mobile later on, with instant casts and fewer animation locks?
slate arrow
yes
median locust
Summoner has tons of instant casts at level cap yes
slate arrow
you get ruin 4 and phoenix later on
ruin 4 is up to 4 GCDs worth of bigger damage ruin 2s
Phoenix is 20 seconds of basically free movement
median locust
4 egi assaults (2 charges of each), Ruin 4 stacks everytime you use an Egi assault which is another instant cast spell, then you get Dreadwyrm Trance and Firebird Trance that make your spells instant cast for a while
slate arrow
this is on top of your egi assaults which are a free movement GCD
frosty atlas
That's great, because right now most Mobs in FATE events are dead before casting a single ruin, and dodging is really punishing because I cancel ruin with it.
slate arrow
just use ruin 2
faint flare
You have your egi assaults as well remember
frosty atlas
I dont have that much spells right now, I'm at level 18 currently
faint flare
Over 50% of the smn rotation is instant cast, only parts that aren't are the few moments in the filler when you spam rui 3
slate arrow
use bio then
faint flare
Also you have summon 2 at this point
And its shield from assault 1 will help surviving
Its 20% hp on 2 charges
Plus summon 2 is a single target pet that attacks with single target autos
frosty atlas
Alright, nice! Do you know a good leveling guide for summoner?
