Because you started as lancer I assume

Today I had a conversation with someone about being a tank main. They told me that if a dps is trying to push the tempo and keeps dying you should just turn off your tank stance, shirk them, and wait until they stop doing it. Is this an actual mentality some people have?
I don't subscribe to it obviously, but is this a legitimate attitude people have?
short sparrow
Is there any achievement for hunting down all the sidequests in ARR, or in each of the expansions?
wintry chasm
No Soluzar?
little swift
Yes a you pull you tank mentality is real@proven bay
little swift
wintry chasm
Because people don't like being "bossed"
keen fable
because it can be extremely annoying if one person is doing it
little swift
People are like that
keen fable
it puts undo burden on healers and tanks, so i can understand where they're coming from
short sparrow
You know, even though I've never really played one, I do believe strongly in the tank setting the pace.
keen fable

proven bay
In my mind all it means is that you try your best to work around it, and then you move on after. Why would you make the dungeon even harder just to prove a point
short sparrow
Buuuut there are certain tanks who will be a dick about it if you make a mistake, and I'm not OK with that either.
keen fable
most people learn after they die the first time
so it makes the dungeon easier after 2 minutes of the dps learning their problem
and makes all future groups not hate that dps
so
idk
ebon imp
is there any page where i can see the best current stat-priority?

raven sage
You need to go to the one in ishgard I believe
little swift
Honestly the mentality of you pull you tank isn't conducive to good team play. You ruin the dungeons progress for pettiness and all it is is self satisfaction. @keen fable

Those npcs should only be showing the gear for the part of the game their location is a part of
vivid wolf
hm yeah the ishgard one has it
little swift
The new sundries splendors are in the 3 main cities/ishgard/rhalgrs
vivid wolf
weird
wintry chasm
But you could buy the shire sam gear in Limsa?
little swift
They only sell expac pertinent stuff
vivid wolf
no i got that one a while ago from ishgard i guess
little swift
No you can't

i just thought they all had the same stock

Then you can lb him
What phase he's in doesnt matter. Just he needs to be physically casting something so he doesn't go immune
magic light
okay, just for reference, can i lb here?

No cause he's not casting anything
The boss itself needs to have a cast bar
If he doesn't have a cast bar, he'll immune

gritty oracle
What's the difference between "triggers the cd of weaponskills, and weaponskills trigger this cd" and like, being a weaponskill? Just unlocking ninja.
wintry chasm
basically when you press that it'll make gcds go on cooldown
faint flare
Generally it means this skill has a shorter recast/its own recast than normal.but it still triggers the gcd
wintry chasm
and using a weaponskill, which is mostly gcds will basically cancel your handsigns
faint flare
Mudras have a short gcd and its own cooldown
But it still triggers the gcd cause they're gcd

thanks @faint flare , I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on the complete edition .

keen fable
Why are dps queues slow for alliance raids?
fast*
but for every other piece of content its slow
median locust
Because you need 15 DPS for 24 people
faint flare
Because more are needed
keen fable
i see
little swift
Supply and demand sorta
In normal queues theres a lot of dps but not a lot of tabks/healers to do with them
And you dont need that many dps in those
But you essentially need 8 times the normal dungeons amount of dps in alliance
opaque steeple
Ok so
keen fable
alliance raids are long que times for healers and tanks, im assuming for that same reason but backwards?
opaque steeple
Who's the NPC I talk to in twine
faint flare
There's an NPC in Twine called Trolley Operator, Apprentice Engineer
opaque steeple
kk thx
median locust
little swift
@keen fable essentially. The need for them is lower now but the amount of them queuing hasn't decreased
Think of it this way. If you have 10 dungeon queues going you need 10 heal 10 tank 20 dps. For 10 alliance queues you need 10 tank 30 heal 150 dps

it's because people left the game to wait for patch 5.3 and then resubbed after it dropped
quartz shore
@remote lintel cuz huge financial and time committment (membership, expqnsions) to start from such a long way back and have to catch up when i used to be in the 95th percentile
twilit arch
so basically when you get sync'd down, your materia has no effect essentially

In terms of catching u it would only take u maybe 2 weeks or so to get through the 2 expansions. I guess depending how much u played

is there really no way to disable weather effects in this game? I see posted online from even as far back as 9 years ago asking for this feature with some stating that it's possible in XI, and many people are requesting it for various reasons including PC performance. We could care less but my gf is easily terrified of thunderstorms and a way to disable even just the lightning and thunder would be a blessing

From the forums:
Not customer support, but: are you on a Mac with Intel Iris graphics? (This includes nearly every Mac laptop for the past several years except the most recent 16-inch MacBook Pro, so I'm assuming yes.)
The game actually says it requires at least a Radeon dedicated GPU in the system requirements; it used to work on Intel Iris graphics anyway, even though that wasn't officially supported. It no longer does.

On the free trial unfortunately
naive kraken
leveling up stuff to get everything to 80, kind of sucks i cant have the non-augment tome ring.
remote lintel
people can invite you
short sparrow
Raids are not allowed on trial, or is it party finder that's not allowed?
fickle gull
I think party finder
short sparrow
I see. Sorry, I didn't realise.
short sparrow
People are grinding the event I guess?

how far into the crystal tower quests do i need to go before it'll let me click before the dawn

getting my rdm up to 65 for msq is gonna take ages
remote lintel
@fickle gull did you do your job quests
median locust
You need to do the entire Crystal Tower raid series
It's extremely important for the Shadowbringers plot so it's mandatory now
solemn delta
Haven't played since last week do I need to run puppets bunker and copied factory to get my 2 coins for my crysta upgrade?
faint flare
No
remote lintel
you can
solemn delta
I didn't get the manufactured coin
faint flare
Weeklies dont stock up if you miss 1
solemn delta
From puppets
fickle gull
Might have put off the lvl 50 one, but yeah did all the others
faint flare
But manufactured coins arent weekly locked
remote lintel
manufactured coin is copied factory
faint flare
Only puppets
remote lintel
@fickle gull lvl 50 should give you i90 gear
solemn delta
So I need to run copied?
fickle gull
Ok, will check it out thanks!
faint flare
You can spam it for as many manufactured coins you want
short sparrow
The copied factory, the whole Nier thing, it's not time limited, is it?
solemn delta
Yeah I just wondered if there's any other way to get them
faint flare
No
solemn delta
Cause its purely for upgrading my crysta gear weekly
remote lintel
not the coins
solemn delta
So you need to run both 80 raids once a week
Unless you had a previous stack of coins
remote lintel
yes or you can do hunts
short sparrow
Need is such a definitive term.
median locust
like you don't need iLv500 for anything right now
solemn delta
Still I'm not passing up that 500 loot for free weekly lol
But i get you. I've got my puppets coin
junior yacht
dadgnabbit y'all tolld me i only needed 460 for the story 
remote lintel
you asked for the minimum
solemn delta
So I can get the other one as many times as I like
remote lintel
i gave you the minimum ilvl
median locust
SoS normal is 465 yeah
junior yacht
there's more story after that
twilit arch
seat is 465
median locust
SoS:
remote lintel
yes, but you asked for the minimum
remote lintel
thats the minimum to start 5.3
remote lintel
halcyon glen
If ya enter Gauntlet at 460, decent chance some 475 garbage will drop to round out the last 5
remote lintel
^
median locust
maybe maybe not
junior yacht
as in, the minimum needed to complete the whole thing
halcyon glen
Das 465 according to the game, though you may or may not hate yourself and/or invoke the ire of your healers if you try to tank 5.3 in 465 gear
junior yacht
yes i know that now
west root
Can Monk act as a tank?
twilit arch
no
junior yacht
no
halcyon glen
No
west root
woah
surreal geyser
I wish
west root
lol
faint flare
Jobs are 1 role
west root
I got sniped
surreal geyser
I always wanted to see monk played as an evasion tank.
halcyon glen
Our classes don't have branches like some MMOs do that turn them into different roles
west root
Oh that's good in some ways
halcyon glen
Instead you can play every job on one character
so if you're a monk and want to tank, you can waltz over to the gladiator or marauder's guilds and say "why yes, i would like to hit the bad guys with a giant axe of death"
remote lintel
there are no "partial" classes
west root
Beautiful
halcyon glen
or whatever flimsy pointy stick gladiators use
novel parcel
What's the perception requirement to get a +3 with Bountiful Yield on lv75 nodes? (If there's a calculator or something a point in that direction would be great too)
primal relic
So I finished base ARR last night, and now I noticed I have more Roulette? Does clearing any one of these get rid of daily bonus for the other? If so which one is best to do?
primal relic
Alright, thanks!
west root
I have another question. Are longswords 2H, or can you use a shield along with them as a Gladiator?
faint flare
Eh more or less the same
west root
Oh, yes
little swift
Hand and a half longswords are different as well
west root
Greatswords, sorry
west root
Oh I understand
remote lintel
you can' tuse some attacks without a shield
faint flare
You can glamour it to be invisible
west root
Oof
median locust
You can hide it with an item later but it's not like it's gone, it's just invisible
nova umbra
is there line of sight in this game for monsters? For example if you're tanking a ranged enemy, can you go around the corner and it'll run to you at melee range?
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
yes theres los
faint flare
Thats how you control range mobs
lavish vortex
How do you get the recipes for the new crafted seiriyu, susaku and tsukuymi weapons?
remote lintel
tsukuyomi is master goldsmith 6
median locust
Or 6
west root
If I glamour it to be invisible, won't some skills look weird?
median locust
Need Specialist
west root
Or not necessarily
remote lintel
maybe ronin
little swift
You need specialist to make them
remote lintel
but shh
lavish vortex
Whats specialist?
little swift
The skill animations still play
remote lintel
just imagine youre blocking through sheer willpower
gritty oracle
So in this guide I read that on rdm I should use manafication on cooldown (if I'm 40/40 or more) even if I'd overcap. What if I'm already at 80/80 when it comes back up? should I postpone until next 40/40 or yolo and use it anyway?
faint flare
If you're already 80 gauge use the combo
little swift
@gritty oracle the better thing to do is outside manafication you push your mana as close to 100/99 before you melee. That way it lines up with manafication a bit better overall
west root
Will I lose my experience bonus if I delete my current character and create another one?
remote lintel
experience boost is applied to any character created on a preferred
west root
Oh
little swift
You delete the character so you lose everything you had on that one
fickle gull
Question, all my old blue/green gear, can I discard it or is there a better use ? (Or do I just keep everything for alt jobs)
west root
Is it recommendable to switch jobs at a level 20 storyline?
west root
@little swift That means, also my experience boost?
remote lintel
for that character yes
halcyon glen
Experience boost is based on character
little swift
The preferred bonus is based on character
west root
@remote lintel Does that mean I will have to level it in order to re-incorporate myself into the quest line I was in?
remote lintel
yes
halcyon glen
yes
faint flare
And redo the story
remote lintel
each job has its own level
faint flare
All over
west root
Woah
polar hound
20 isnt far at all, definitely not on a preferred
west root
Oh
faint flare
Oh we're not deleting
surreal geyser
Basically it's like this, you level a character to 45, switch classes, that class is still 45 but the class you are playing is lvl 1
west root
Yeah...
surreal geyser
You need to get that lvl 1 class back to 45 to pick up what you were doing
but you can switch back the first class at any time
west root
And that is more painful, since main quests give more exp
west root
Oh
surreal geyser
True
west root
Yes
surreal geyser
Also you keep whatever you unlock as you progress, so daily roulettes and all that can be applied
At low levels roulettes are a massive boost, also if you equip the brand new ring, ala mhigo earrings, + the armory bonus you will be getting at least double, maybe triple exp
west root
So what is your experienced recommendation? (to all of you, experienced players) To create a new character or to finish both ARR and HSW expansions with the class I currently own?
remote lintel
whatever you want
surreal geyser
Also Palace if tge dead was a thing now. Which is really fast
remote lintel
you dont need to create a new character
surreal geyser
What class are you on and what are you thinking of changing too?
west root
I am a Pugilist level 24, I am thinking to change to Gladiator
remote lintel
then just pick up gladiator
west root
Oh, that sounds nice
surreal geyser
Also do note, every class is a little stiff to play at low level. Their kits dont really properly fill up till post 50
polar hound
^ dont judge a class til later on tbh.. most rotations dont fill out til later ye
west root
I'll take that into account
polar hound
might feel clunky, like...Paladin, youll have cast times for awhile once you unlock stuff you can cast
remote lintel
thats post 50
polar hound
later on there's a trait to make stuff instacast
midnight laurel
just wondering, how do nin and war stack up these days? Last played in HS when they were really strong for savage. Latest info I'd read was from a year ago, nin had really low damage, not as worth TA any more, and war was kinda meh, lost it's high damage niche but at least it's got good self heals lol
remote lintel
theyre fine
west root
I will create a new character then, since I want to level up GLD on a clean slate
polar hound
the info about NIN is outdated, they had a weak moment in shb launch around but yeah no its fixed/balanced
warr is basically the same as it has been with another couple gimmicks, all viable
west root
I have a question though. Does Monk has any skill that can allow them to rush at the enemy and attack them?
midnight laurel
okay great!
remote lintel
yes

Also don't be confused by the fact that some jobs have like baby form jobs. That was a thing they tried to do back in 2.0 and they quickly realized it was dumb. so at 30 most jobs get a class rank up
warped thorn
I have a very noobish question, obv because of the free trial I cant do a lot and I do like the game so far (lvl 23 conj). I do however wonder if there was a way to somehow socialize in game while on trial? Or is it only by joining a free company?
granite swan
Thought they made BLU Magic 100% Learn? Ive done some dungeons multiple times now and still no skill?
remote lintel
your social options are limited
polar hound
^ its just how trial be
remote lintel
there isnt really anything you can do besides generally talk
granite swan
Ah
faint flare
Actually
raw solstice
learn rate is also guaranteed for other stuff, but only if you do it synced
faint flare
You need to be symced
polar hound
oh

surreal geyser
Also just had a thought is this a good general ask about glamor related questions?
warped thorn
ahh I see, that is a pity. Ty though
granite swan
well thats crap since we cant que >.> rip
polar hound
my apologies, none of it was guaranteed last i played blu lol
faint flare
Just be synced and any instance ability is guaranteed

either here or #glamour-discussion would be good, Castor..cant hurt

Also, what is this 1 million GIL bonus I saw in the pins? Can I get it? Do I have to subscribe before I hit level 30?

no you cant right now

vivid thorn
is Arboretum hard, well, harder than normal?
faint flare
No. Just another standard dungeon
polar hound
nope, not unless you psych yourself out i guess
vivid thorn
Arboretum normal is very easy however
polar hound
hard modes are as well, generally
faint flare
Most cap stone dungeons kinda just fall over because of gear creep
vivid thorn
so the hardest dungeons fall outside of level caps...
faint flare
Not even then
short sparrow
Allied seals are the only way to unlock faster mount speed?
faint flare
Since sync puts you at the highest ilvl of that era
polar hound
flying is fastest speed
west root
So the Monk is a job, and Pugilist is a base class. Right?
short sparrow
Oh so those maps are only for what, ground travel?
polar hound
ground yea
vivid thorn
I mean here, like x5, x7 dungeons
polar hound
there is a mogstation mount that unlocks the first star of ground travel speed automatically
the fenrir/motorcycle, but its debatable as heck if its worth it for that ijs
vivid thorn
x0 ones are usually easy
polar hound
you unlock that speed naturally through quests
faint flare
The x5/x7 can only be slightly harder cause thats when the poetic gear isnt the best gear and people are lazy/unlucky with gear upgrades
And there's a damage spike
polar hound
yep
faint flare
But thats only for the terms of damage received
surreal geyser
honestly I hate how the modern ff mounts look in this game. the way they move is so unnatural
polar hound
the mogstation bike unlocks that automatically before msq but its whatever tbh

Where's the best place / what's the best way to find a group to learn Deltascape v4.0 Savage. I'm fairly newly lvl 80, I'm not in a proper guild or anything else.
faint flare
Party finder
Though not many people do it
Outside of people wanting the gear for ultimate/mount
polar hound
find a static who has similar tastes but most wont be focused on older content
little swift
You can also put up a recruitment notice here for it in #recruitment-primal or #retired-na-datacenters
polar hound
FCs are largely just a social construct, most people raid with a static group.
mossy shoal
lol I ask because I was looking at party finder and there's already a mount farm up but it requires already having completed it. 😦
polar hound
throw one up to learn it

let's see if mine fills up first! xD
