remote lintel
some time next year yes
molten spruce
where can i buy a time card?
regal heath
Yeah but thats a short term fix
remote lintel
could try clearing cache and cookies
agile laurel
So I suck dongs at heliococlaw in Ruby Ex. Which of these is meant to be where I stand?
regal heath
@molten spruce Okay looked it up, it's a cookie based error
molten spruce
how can i fix it?
violet star
top circle i think emu
violet star
basically where the two circles overlap
molten spruce
safari
regal heath
If so you need to allow na.gcsip.com and gcsip.com
agile laurel
you sure? cause I always try to stand there and then I eat shit to the right line aoes
violet star
i honestly dont look at the circles
i just try to get in between the lines
like where you are standing should be fine
violet star
no problem u got dis
leaden ginkgo
You don't need a yo-kai watch equipped for Legendary medals do you? Just the minion out?
frosty badger
is there another item with similar effect to Squadron Rationing Manual?
agile laurel
correct 2b
burnt flicker
so what's the point of have the watch then?
agile laurel
getting reg medals to buy minions
remote lintel
to get regular medals
raven sage
There's only the fc buff @frosty badger
soft sleet
...did they change Alphinaud's voice actor?
soft sleet
oh really, I was wondering if I was losing my mind ha
remote lintel
the only one they didnt change is aymeric
frosty badger
so you noticed too
twilit arch
lucia and haurchefaunt
soft sleet
aymeric is the guy from dark souls, that was a funny one to recognise
violet star
why did they change it again? was it becuase of union stuff?
remote lintel
wut hes in dark souls
twilit arch
changed studios
soft sleet
yeah hes in every dark souls
remote lintel
who
twilit arch
leaden ginkgo
a bit of a weird question but does anyone know which is generally shorter of these 2 dungeons? anamnesis anyder and the heroes gauntlet (both are the 2 recent dungeons in expert roulette)
strange ember
is there an option that makes tab targeting useful? i seem to target something a mile away instead of whats right in front of me
remote lintel
can change it to cone in character config > control > target
twilit arch
Going off of fflogs, Anamesis is. fast clear is 9:43, gauntlet's fastest is 10:37 @leaden ginkgo
leaden ginkgo
I see thanks!
violet star
does the road to 70 buff affect dol/doh?
remote lintel
i think so
twilit arch
yes
violet star
does this include leve turn ins?
twilit arch
yes
violet star
damn wtf
strange ember
I'll try cone, first it seems the same but even if its a little better somehow then that will help
remote lintel
type 1 cycles through targets no matter how far away they are
strange ember
maybe in ff14 you shouldnt rely on tab targeting i guess. bad habit from wow i guess
narrow vale
How do I get the champion lance for Gae Bolg quest?
twilit arch
14's tab targetting isn't quite as good as wow's, but for the most part it is fine
cone option is more closer to what you'd expect from wow
strange ember
i've had no issue with the targetting until i just made an arcane and trying to dot everything
twilit arch
but you can also angle your camera as the game won't select enemies that aren't in your field of view
strange ember
ah, maybe i can do more of a almost top down view for dotting
twilit arch
@narrow vale craft it yourself/ask someone to or buy it from marketboard
it'll get less annoying when you get bane
strange ember
ty
twilit arch
since you won't have to manually dot everything after that
remote lintel
you dont need to dot every single enemy in crowds
median locust
I basically only tab target and it's only a problem when you have to target one specific mob in a huge group, in my experience
Sometimes if I can't get it consistent I just click though
tepid kiln
I did the quest named "Disarmed" which is finishing "Alexander: fist of the father"
and when I come out of the raid
It still says I have to do it
why?
digital fable
Hey guys, not trying to advertise, just looking for help. I just started streaming and want to start making ff xiv content after being away for 1.5 years. What are some good streamer friendly and active Free Companies or discords?

theyre added when you unlock them

Aesthete's gear will last til the end of the expansion, and probably all the leveling for next expansion
so do as you will with that

raven burrow
do people prefer to see a sam or monk for content? monk seems wayyyyy inferior to sam dps
misty marsh
The Squadron Battle Manual Exp boost work in eureka too right?
remote lintel
yes but monk has a party buff
wary karma
Is keeper of the lake a particularly hated dungeon or something? I've been in que for over 30 minutes and not a single person has popped up 
agile laurel
logically because sam is a selfish dps
monk is not
Keeper of the Lake is in roulettes so it will get queues
remote lintel
nobody cares either way
wintry chasm
Is keeper of the lake a particularly hated dungeon or something? I've been in que for over 30 minutes and not a single person has popped up :RIP:
Not really. I think you're getting unlucky though?
raven burrow
do the buffs make up for that?
molten spruce
so regarding the sub problem i just called my bank and mogstation is giving me an error code when trying to buy the sub but is still charging me 1 dollar everytime i try???
@molten spruce any idea on this?
remote lintel
the buffs and good play make up for it
raven burrow
hmmm ok thanks
steep heron
EMu that isnt by distance is it?
Does that just go down the party list?
median locust
I think it's /tpc to target the closest player character
Not sure if it makes you untarget the boss though
never used one
young lintel
Is giving away mogstation codes / items against terms of service if you do it as a prize for a glamour contest?
remote lintel
you can also make it target the 6th party member which should be a melee dps
median locust
as long as you don't require people to pay to enter the contest, it should be fine
young lintel
Awesome, thanks.
agile laurel
Oh I suppose it does
I think I made it to just target whomever the fuck it could
unrelated but does the ruby gwiber play primals ultima or rise of the white raven?
remote lintel
ultima
zinc orbitBOT
violet star
I'm too lazy to look it up and compare. But do all the tanks have the same amount of defensive abilities? And the same kind of defensive abilities?
brittle shell
I'm almost done with the 2.0 msq, do I have to complete all the quests inbetween that and Heavensward to unlock Astrologian? Or is there a way I can get Astrologian right after 2.0 msq?
violet star
It would be nice if I could use the same hotkeys for the invul, party buff, etc
median locust
Yes Diamond, you have to reach Ishgard in the main story
Which is during the first Heavensward quest
brittle shell
Ah, I see, thank you
median locust
@violet star They roughly have the same amount of defensive cooldowns, yeah.

Stronger but longer CD (Shadow Wall, Sentinel, etc)

does this game support graphics mods?
soft rock
@remote lintel they only give like 9k each
remote lintel
the lower level ones yes

Do levelling roulette every day, spam Palace of the Dead floors 51-60
If you're not into Heavensward then I can't recommend running dungeons

unborn dock
how am i able to change the colour of my chocobo?
remote lintel
stable it and feed it the correct order and amount of food
unborn dock
in order to access the chocobo stables, do i have to be a certain level?
frosty badger
do I need to also equip yokai watch for legendary medals or just summon the minion?
twilit arch
just minion
remote lintel
you need to have some kind of housing
twilit arch
watch is only for the normal medals
frosty badger
thanks
unborn dock
you need to have some kind of housing
@remote lintel some time ago, i went to a district that explained homes, apartments, and what not. should i revisit there to see if it's behind a quest?
leaden ginkgo
Should you put down a leyline from the beginning or right before your fire phase?
remote lintel
housing itself isnt locked behind a quest iirc
you can also join an fc with stables
twilit arch
housing itself is not locked behind a quest no (though shirogane is technically an exception), you need to be lvl 50 and 2nt LT in your gc to buy a house/apartment if you don't join an fc with a house
sick osprey
i read somewhere that BLM is the class with the most DPS but least party utility. is that still accurate ?
burnt flicker
and a lot of Gil for the initial purchase ๐
remote lintel
it's tied for dps with smn and samurai
apartments arent a lot of gil
both blm and sam have no party utility
burnt flicker
oh, I'm thinking of houses
wispy parcel
Both SAM and BLM have the highest DPS in the game but no party utility
sick osprey
an what class has the highest effective damage contribution when factoring in their utility ?
wispy parcel
Summoner
quasi widget
wispy parcel
Summoner can reach BLM levels of DPS and has party utility
including reviving dead party members
molten spruce
is hunting log unlocked by class quest?
twilit arch
yeah the lvl 5 class quest iirc unlocks it

Does anyone here know anything about switching data centers for a character?
young fjord
You need to buy a character transfer for tath
empty grotto
Yeah ik
But like
Is it just the character or is it the entire account
Ya know
I wanna make sure before I spend money on it
young fjord
Just character
twilit arch
you can switch all of the characters on that server
young fjord
Your account is not teid to a DC
lone spruce
Question: Who is this guy and where/when do I find him?
young fjord
remote lintel
why are you asking
lone spruce
Because he's hot
pallid cipher
At what point of the story you're at?
pallid cipher
Advance the story
young fjord
You will see him in like 300h
pallid cipher
And don't look up on things
remote lintel
when you beat base ARR you can unlock the lvl 50 24 man raids, do those
and dont ask about him
lone spruce
Big plot details I'm guessing?
pallid cipher
YES
lone spruce
Hence why I asked here instead of googling
lone spruce
How long is this game's story exactly?
remote lintel
long
young fjord
Not long||--------------------[X]||Long
remote lintel
like 4 years worth of content
pallid cipher
Well, I've 6 days worth of playtime and I'm only at HW, even tho I did other things than story
You have a long way to go with free trial
lone spruce
HW? Idk I've been playing for like 3 days maybe?
young fjord
Free trial is super generous
lone spruce
Of course I've done almost every sidequest I've seen before main story
young fjord
HW = Heavensward = first expansion
remote lintel
you don't need to do side quests, only the 
sour path
If me and my friend is in the same data center but different worlds, can we still join the same fc?
remote lintel
no
lone spruce
Yeah not that great, but it's better than just killing the same monster over and over again
remote lintel
if youre looking to get exp there are more efficient ways
pallid cipher
The game is in different part, A Realm Reborn (base game) -> 70 quests (transition from ARR to frist expansion) -> Heavensward (lvl50->60) -> Stormblood (60->70) -> Shadowbringers (70->80)
sour path
@remote lintel Was that no to me?
sour path
@remote lintel aw man...
lone spruce
I guess you could say I like EXP but it's not my main focus
My main focus is kinda just
To run around, enjoy the world, and waste time lol
I'm young and have too much time on my hands outside of college with the quarantine and my brain has convinced me that if I'm not being productive I might as well be depressed, so I decided to play a game that I can spend a metric fuck ton of time playing
pallid cipher
Side quests don't give a lot of xp, and just sayin that 80 quests gives off a lot of fatigue, sparing all those side quests will prove useful for your mental health (you barely gain xp from those 80 ones, but it advances the story a lot)
remote lintel
the story alone will take you like a month to beat
lone spruce
I mean I don't need to do it all in a day, and if I don't feel like doing the sidequest, I won't do it (usually)

Side quests are there mainly to level up alts if you don't feel spamming the same dungeons

Do people usually take it personally when you decide not to join an FC? Iโm looking into a few at once, and wanted to see communities before making a final decision is it okay to just mention you found a better fit and dip? Or is there some kind of protocol/niceties to go through

Oh, oof
leaden ginkgo
So where in mor darmo
And is it actually a neck that you transmog over?
Or is it an unlock to hide them?
young fjord
Mor Dhona is lvl 45zone
remote lintel
you need to have done of the quests to unlock it first
which requires a lvl 15 crafter
leaden ginkgo
I thought you said I could just buy it?
halcyon glen
once you've unlocked the vendor yeah
remote lintel
you need to unlock the vendor
otherwise you won't see the option in the menu
do either a self improving man > submission impossible or if i had a glamour > absolutely glamorous
twilit arch
you can buy them in vesper bay too @young fjord
young fjord
TIL
halcyon glen
Easiest way to get the Emperor's New Stuff is a level 15 DoH and do the glamour recepies quest in Vesper Bay to unlock the appropriate vendor
And once ya do, @leaden ginkgo you were indeed correct that you glamour the newly acquired "Emperor's New [Item]" over the appropriate slot
remote lintel
the unlock quest requires a doh
halcyon glen
fixed
If you don't want to level a crafter to 15, you need to buy the items from the market board
burnt flicker
so why are they so expensive to begin with?
young fjord
People want to make money
remote lintel
they arent
twilit arch
because people capitalize on ignorance/laziness
halcyon glen
To trap people who don't want to level crafters into overpaying

Well I'm not the greatest dark knight ever or anything
I'm only like level 61
the class might actually be sick af
remote lintel
if youre only 61 on drk then dont get the anima yet
limber walrus
I'm 80 on paladin though
remote lintel
then get paladin
limber walrus
my only concern is that I might like eureka or shadowbringers thing for paladin more
limber walrus
ah damn I wish there was a way you could preview the weapons dyed
remote lintel
you cant dye them
raven burrow
is it possible to make chat disappear during fights? and just appear when new messages are sent?
twilit arch
you can dye several of the relic weapons

midnight laurel
I just came back to the game after a 3 year break and my wife is starting to play the game with me. She has a 19 pugilist and a 5 arcanist so far. She's not too interested in the story (mostly skips cs's), plays with sound off, and is pretty new to the controls (on pad, god only knows what she would do with a m/k setup. However, she's got trouble targeting enemies, remembering what buttons to press, can't really control both sticks at once, had trouble reading the map. She mostly wanted to craft but since that's MSQ dependent she's been leveling combat classes.
Any ideas to keep her interested in the game longterm? She's enjoying it now and it's been great showing her how to play, but the cs's get long, I know lots of people who got tired of it partway, and still working on that controller dexterity thing (wasn't a big gamer before). Stuff to do to keep the game fun along the way, especially since she struggles with controls at times (hall of the novicec was challenging, switching targets).
remote lintel
@fringe lotus like both at the same time?
fringe lotus
yeah like, unsheathe weapon and then put visor down
remote lintel
@midnight laurel this is a final fantasy game first so it is extremely story heavy and the campaign is mostly single player
if thats not what she wants then maybe the game isnt for her

so by default when you press TAB it picks most far target? why is that
and how to make it closest in front of me

it cycles through targets no matter how far away they are
twilit arch
you can change target style to cone
craggy pivot
so no chance to make it work in some way where it have sense?

might also need to angle your camera a bit down since tab target doesn't target things that aren't in your view

I've heard that it is best to go through the ShB story as a DRK (if given the option to choose any of the tanks), can anyone confirm or deny this?
sacred laurel
so in wow the mensuality is 15 dolars and here is 20? lol
burnt flicker
I'm doing fine going through ShB as SCH
deft yarrow
choosing from the tanks
twilit arch
so in wow the mensuality is 15 dolars and here is 20? lol
uh what?
burnt flicker
you're paying to own a copy of the game, thus getting full features for that $20 investment
remote lintel
i will say tho
that doing the final boss of 5.3 as a drk and limit breaking is satisfying
twilit arch
the monthly sub is 13/15$ a month depending on what sub you get
deft yarrow
for sure, I'm wanting to go through as a tank, and I equally want to play as drk/gnb/pld, but I've been told that 'ShB MSQ works best indeed as Dark Knight' I'm guessing it's theming related
deft yarrow
dark knight seems to motif the best imo
remote lintel
i mean they literally use dark knight in the title screen and trailer of shb and the lvl 80 dark knight sword is called shadowbringer

Hi, very new player. Recently got to level 35 and did my paladin quest. Was wondering if I should do other jobs quest? I been thinking of being a lancer but don't know if I should just go for max before anything or what? I eventually want to get to shadowbringers but dunno what I need to do beforehand, besides well grinding msq which I been doing.
twilit arch
if you wanna check out other jobs, feel free to do so
main recommendation is to focus on msq and your job quests
manic sentinel
we just go to limsa with the msq with my friend, and he wanted to play ninja , can he still the msq lvl 18 at lower lvls?
I kinda forgot
faint flare
No

no, he'll need to lvl up to the msq

You need to hit the minimum level for it

yeah I know that. I just forgot if you could do it at lower lvls

Game literally downloads 50 more gb on top of the trฤฑal download after i bought shadow thingy plus base game. Are expansions that big or did i get dublicate data on my pc?
granite swan
There anyway to get quest reward gear you might of skipped during MSQ? Not the lv 1 glamour stuff u can buy from the Salvager but actual gear pieces?
wispy parcel
Well ShadowBringers also comes with Stormblood so I'd assume it'd be big considering you are downloading 2 expansions
granite swan
Might of got double data, i think mine was only like 16gb?
frosty walrus
if you do a dungeon with Trust do you still get penalized for leaving midway?
weary ivy
Main question is is it dublicate data or redownloads the game and deletes the old data.
wispy parcel
No you dont
fringe lotus
So im level 50 rn and im getting Materia from quests but im noticing my ironworks and higher level armor isnt even meldable what is materia used for?
young fjord
Meld gear, bonus stats
drifting ruin
@fringe lotus It's used for items that ARE meldable, but I wouldn't worry about it until endgame
frosty walrus
so no punishment? because sometimes Trusts take a while
young fjord
Yeah. pre late game the actuall boost is so small you won't notice it
vital bolt
yep, you'll be doing the poetic gear till 70+
wispy parcel
Since you arent playing with other people you wont get penalized for leaving
drifting ruin
Punishment is only there because you can waste other peoples time, or grief, etc. So trusts don't penalize

Does anyone know if Hillicen in Eulmore is gated behind MSQ?

jade stirrup
so i just recently started playing ff 14 and pretty much bought that one item to just shot up to bard level 70. now I'm regretting it and have no idea what I'm doing in terms of combat wise. would like some help or ideas to get a general knowledge of what the heck am i suppose to do.
wispy parcel
did you get the story skip as well?
jade stirrup
yes ._.
wispy parcel
Very VERY bad move considering this is a heavily story based game
jade stirrup
i notice when i started to not understand what the heck was going on XD
autumn oriole
You can do new game+, both for MSQ and class quests
jade stirrup
oh sweet how do i start that
autumn oriole
Or read the texts in the unending journey
wispy parcel
You cant do ARR in NG+ yet
autumn oriole
New game+ is somewhere in the menus
jade stirrup
oh
deft yarrow
when I mouse over the signal icon in the top right part of the screen is the receiving number my ping?
autumn oriole
At least read through the texts and cutscenes in the unending journey should be helpful
jade stirrup
cool i'll look at it when i find XD
wispy parcel
that is not your ping no
simple pine
when i entered a map a cutscene played but i had to skip it
i cant find it back in the inn
that seems to only list quest cutscenes?
it was when i entered yanxia
twilit arch
no, its not related to your ping at all @deft yarrow
deft yarrow
only way to check ping is through cmd?
simple shore
Not the "only" way but certainly the most efficient
wispy parcel
@simple pine when you mouse over the name of the quest in the Unending Journey there should be a bar above the play button that needs to be slided to select which cutscene from a quest
simple pine
i select the last quest and there is only 1 cutscene
its not the one that played upon map entry
simple shore
Wilco, what map was it
simple pine
yanxia
woeful nacelle
Is there a way to search for Free Companies in game?
vocal star
how the blue mage garuda teleport spell called?
remote lintel
@woeful nacelle not really
simple shore
@simple pine the cutscene you want is Cutscene #2 for "A Silence In Three Parts"
thats' the map intro cutscene for that zone
simple pine
huh is it possible that it doesnt unlock until later?
if i complete the full quest maybe?
simple shore
Is that the quest you are on?
simple pine
yes
simple shore
there's only 2 cutscene listed for A Silence in Three Parts"
i would not skip stuff if i were you
its just the map intro, and you arent missing any important context without having seen it before seeing the next few
simple pine
i thought they were introducing some plot with the turtles
ripe grove
I'm new to glamour...if I add it to the dresser the gear is gone right?
wispy parcel
No you an take it out now
ripe grove
ok, is there any reason to hold onto gear and not glamour it?
manic flare
hey guys, question about grand company levequests,
do u have to do them in order to unlock the higher level levequests?
wispy parcel
Other then selling, not really
manic flare
because i can't seem to find the guy that gives me the level 40 levequest, even though i'm at the right location
i haven't done any levequests so far
ripe grove
I have all this old gear that's been in my inventory taking up space and my retainer is full too, so I figured I glamour it all
remote lintel
if you dont want it as glamour sell it or turn it in for seals
drifting ruin
Can a collectable node despawn while you're.. doing it?
slate arrow
Only emphemeral nodes will disappear on you
the ones you use to get aetherial reduction items
drifting ruin
On garlandtools, there's a timer for "luminium ore" but it's NEVER there for me, am I missing something?
obsidian patio
Do you have the Miner Abalathian Folklore book used?
drifting ruin
I don't know what that is, so probably not
obsidian patio
Folklore books are basically the master craft books for gathering classes in that it unlocks nodes for them
leaden ginkgo
Hullo, what jobs have the simplest rotations in raids? I am a beginner and I am currently doing PUG, but the constant moving around and mashing skills to not lose short-lived buffs isn't really fun for me. Would any experienced players like to recommend a job where I move around less and have less buttons to constantly mash.
drifting ruin
Where do I get them?
remote lintel
the nature of endgame content requires you to move around a lot
unless youre talking about melee positionals
obsidian patio
You can get the HW books from the Sundry splendor in Ishgard for 125 yellow scrips
Theyโre in the Gathering Supplies section
drifting ruin
tyvm
simple shore
PUG/MNK is probably the most demanding of the melee jobs
obsidian patio
Lancer/Dragoon will be a better fit with their slower GCD and static rotation
simple shore
If you want something more straightforward in terms of less movement you could try LNC/DRG or unlock SAM at 50.
drifting ruin
Also, is it silly for me to be doing heavensward collectables to level miner when I'm level 69? It's just that I don't have stormblood flying (I was lazy)
leaden ginkgo
@remote lintel if by melee positional you mean having to move to the rear and flank etc. then yes
remote lintel
i mean in terms of less movement and less button mashing i say black mage tbh
the ultimate "stop moving" class
simple shore
Well sure, i was just assuming they wanted to be melee
obsidian patio
In terms of experience probably, I canโt remember when they โnerfโ the previous expansionโs collectables
leaden ginkgo
@obsidian patio yes, I guess that's along the lines of what I am looking for. Slower skill cds
drifting ruin
well, it was still pretty fast, some collectables were giving me 1.3m each
probably only took me a couple of hours for 61-69
leaden ginkgo
@simple shore is dragoon available to free players?
remote lintel
yes
manic flare
quick question
do you have to do the grand company levequests in order? like, for example, can i just jump to a level 40 grand company levequest as my first one?
leaden ginkgo
awesome!
remote lintel
dragoon has positionals though
leaden ginkgo
hopefully not as much as MNK though?
leaden ginkgo
right-o
simple shore
MNK, particularly if you screw up your rotation, can be changing every GCD
whereas DRG usually goes for 3-4 GCD's before changing
remote lintel
should note that monk has ways to not lose the buffs when theyre out of combat
simple shore
Another thing is that MNK is supposedly about to get a significant revamp in 5.4 (~3 months away)
So who knows what its going to look like in the future
warped nest
Monk done correctly will never need to change positional like flank-rear-flank
simple shore
Yes but.....new player. Im assuming "done correctly" is not an assumable situation at that stage.
celest jolt
How I can gear my GSM? its level 54 but with a bunch of low level items
leaden ginkgo
hmm. Maybe I will stick with it
simple shore
all it takes is one mistake for it to go Flank-Rear-Flank
celest jolt
And dont' want to spend like .. 75k gils for a ring
warped nest
If you are desperate for upgrade, you can buy from NPC
celest jolt
In Ishgard?
simple shore
Io just buy level 51 vendor gear
That's how most people level their crafters
buy vendor gear at 51, 61, 71
leaden ginkgo
until the revamp at least. But could you expand on what it takes to position skilfully? Just with the example you gave@warped nest @simple shore
celest jolt
I know but .. in which town?
simple shore
Ishgard
warped nest
@leaden ginkgo in a party
celest jolt
Oki.. thanks you

!faq targetring
zinc orbitBOT
simple shore
@leaden ginkgo what you're looking to do is minimize movement. Position yourself on the back corner of the target box so that you're only moving a few steps left/right to switch between quadrants.
remote lintel
you can hang out close to rear and flank
shrewd owl
you basically wanna stand at the very edge of rear to switch from rear to flank ez
simple shore
Later on, you get access to tools to help with this
leaden ginkgo
ah in between flank and rear

@obsidian patio
Do we have a faq with a target ring graphic
With sweet spot on it?
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
Yay
remote lintel
ass corner.......
warped nest
On ass corner, you can just move left or right just a tad to be in fear or flank
obsidian patio
As a melee unless mechanics want you to do otherwise you usually want to sit on the spot where flank and rear meet
warped nest
You don't need to be on 6 o'clock perfectly to hit rear positional
leaden ginkgo
that is a great tip
warped nest
What Wynne said
leaden ginkgo
One silly question coming up
obsidian patio
The positionals also extend all the way into the center of the boss, so for very big enemies/bosses you can sit inside them and still get the positional
leaden ginkgo
Other than to practice, should I be aiming to hit positionals with just plain old mobs while doing quests?
remote lintel
not really
spark sail
hey guys just finished ARR, have started down the MSQ line, and I seem to have lost the MSQ line. Is there a way to easily find where I need to pick it back up at?
warped nest
Not possible
warped nest
Mobs usually look at you
leaden ginkgo
right?
warped nest
We should let him know about the omni directional target ring too
simple shore
Riddle of Earth is one of the best tools you get on MNK
warped nest
Do we have a graphic for that?
leaden ginkgo
lol I keep trying to move around while my character is casting
tidal yarrow
how many books to get necklace? ramuh
remote lintel
@spark sail your msq bar
twilit arch
i mean omni directional target ring is just a full closed ring
spark sail
@remote lintel I looked over the entire screen and completely missed that lol
drifting ruin
@spark sail Check your journal, you should have a 
icon in there, or if that fails, there should be a MSQ bar at the top left of your screen
spark sail
thanks
drifting ruin
oh ok
warped nest
Fair.
Palantir, at higher level, some bosses are so large that they don't have a standard target ring
It is just a circle with no arrow
!faq targetring
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
No arrow, and no open gap
For these type of bosses, you always get rear/flank positional
Even when you stand still
leaden ginkgo
oh convenient
simple shore
This is also applicable in alot of places intended to be soloable
such as Palace of the Dead
warped nest
So yeah, that's all to it, for the time being
simple shore
every enemy in palace of the dead is omnidirectional
remote lintel
one thing i feel i should mention is you should not be standing in front of the boss
you only need rear and flank
please dont be the dumb melee
warped nest
Unless there is a mechanic
remote lintel
yeah
warped nest
But yeah don't stand in front of bosses
remote lintel
i say this because bosses often have a big cleave attack aimed at the tank
so if you are standing where the main tank is you will get hit for a lot of damage
warped nest
Another thing is you don't want to bait stuff on the tank and force tank to move.
Good luck and have fun, Palantir
remote lintel
and if the tank keeps spinning the boss around just accept fate and sob
leaden ginkgo
have a great day yall!

does anyone know if garland tools has a way to show exact coordinates of where an item can be gathered?
warped nest
Map..?
lavish vortex
with coordinates
i cant find the map option for some items, Bluespirit Ore in this case
no coordinates
little swift
like over here somewhere
thats where the nodes spawn
there aren't specific coordinate since the nodes are a set of clusters
lavish vortex
i mean, i can look every item exact coordinates in gamerescape, but for every item it becomes a pain
no way to see it on garland tools?
little swift
its dependent on what the game has spawned for you anyways
knowing the general area is enough
jovial sierra
is there any use of yokai medals after u get all the minions
lavish vortex
so no coordinates inside the tool? they are specific in gamerescape
little swift
afaik if it doesn't show then they don't have it
gamerescape doesn't show specific coordinates for every possible node spawn either
lavish vortex
for the ones in fixed nodes, yes, but ok i thought i might have been missing something, but apparently not

proven bay
Is it possible to get shire gear before you progress through HW?
obsidian patio
Realistically, no.
proven bay
Say you get to HW and already have a character at 60. Can you buy shire for it?
obsidian patio
Shire gear can rarely be found through quick ventures but itโs not something to rely on for gearing up
proven bay
And there's no way to buy it until you finish HW?
obsidian patio
You can buy shire gear once you reach Idyllshire at level 58-59 in the story
drifting ruin
Is miner very profitable at all? dunno if I wanna spend tons of money on level 71 gear

Miner is not profitable by itself. Miner is very profitable if you're a crafter
Since you can get raw materials for free
granite swan
If its a 10 year plan, does that mean from when the game first starter, when it was reborn or from when he said it? :p
faint flare
He said it pretty recently
twilit arch
I mean that's not entirely true, Trev
granite swan
Ya but if it was from reborn, thats only like 3-4 more years
twilit arch
you can be profitable as gatherer, you need to know what sells well
faint flare
And he was referring from now into the future
granite swan
ooh nice
faint flare
They already got the next story arc planned for when the hydaleyn/zodiark arc ends
proven bay
Well yeah, you can profit off of it. But it's not gonna make you a millionaire anytime soon. If you use gatherers and crafters together you'll profit a lot with crafted stuff
Gatherers by themselves won't rake in monies. But you'll profit since it's a no cost profession beside gear
proven bay
Really? You can actually make decent money just gathering?
twilit arch
yes
faint flare
Learn your markets

Plenty of lazy crafters out there who would rather buy the materials

Do rare resources only spawn on certain nodes, or can they appear on any node in a given area? For example, the hidden seeds in Botany.
rich bay
They can spawn in any node in a gathering node group.
hard elm
So, if it says "Nine Ivies," I can theoretically find it on any tree there?
jade stirrup
I was wondering during most fight in general in dungeon, raid, ect do you tend to move a lot or most case you just stand there do damage and move during aoe attacks?
