If you read tooltips and compares, you will notice a few defensive ability that works like your PLD ability
#questions-and-help
warped nest
dapper oyster
is there any int materia?
polar hound
Not anymore
twilit arch
no
gloomy mortar
No
twilit arch
main stat materia was made defunct
couldn't meld it anyway, outside of NQ crafted gear
karmic niche
I think 2 of the defensive abilities are similar lol
white sierra
Thanks for the tips, if their health is going down slowly is it fair to say drop a HoT and switch to dps while keeping track of hp?
gloomy mortar
Why is that materia still sold in the MB?
dapper oyster
oh... so i saw this guide on gearing a summoner and
Weapon Damage > Int > Crit > DH >= Det > Sps
so just go for crit materia, direct hit, and spell speed?
twilit arch
because people have the materia from before it was made defunct
warped nest
Thanks for the tips, if their health is going down slowly is it fair to say drop a HoT and switch to dps while keeping track of hp?
@white sierra sounds like a plan
dapper oyster
i have maxed determination on the materia window
twilit arch
yes, go for dh/det/crit materia
karmic niche
Tanks love regens
dapper oyster
do i even need spell speed? ._.
gloomy mortar
Why would anybody buy that defunct materia?
twilit arch
generally not going to be in a position where you can't meld one of those three
dapper oyster
for smn?
twilit arch
no, sps isn't really wanted for smn
karmic niche
Give us regens so you can dps lol
dapper oyster
ok ill save it for other class then
polar hound
Not sure if you still can but you were able to transmutate the materia into others
warped nest
This is a tip for new healer, so I am trying to give them some training wheel first
twilit arch
you could use it for transmutation, yeah
warped nest
Then they can take it off and start taking more risk with their heals
Like trying to let the tank ride at 50-60 percent
dapper oyster
so just put those stat in my equipment until it maxed then move to other materia?
karmic niche
I will get a heart attack if a healer get me to 50% lol
warped nest
Yup, that's how meld priorities work
dapper oyster
can i put the same type of materia in one weapon tho?
warped nest
Yes
dapper oyster
aw yiss
warped nest
If the gear aren't capped on that stat, even after melding
dapper oyster
the gear?
polar hound
!faq melding
zinc orbitBOT
dapper oyster
so its capped on the gear? D:
warped nest
Gear is a general term for weapon, armor, and accessories
dapper oyster
so i need to carefully calculate everything before melding?
polar hound
See the picture, if it has capped stat you cant add more to it
warped nest
I don't want to type weapon, armor, and accessories
polar hound
No
warped nest
Everytime I want to mention weapon, armor, and accessories
so i need to carefully calculate everything before melding?
@dapper oyster the calculation is done
!faq balance
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
People have made BiS (best in slot, slot as in weapon slot, not materia slot) + meld
warped nest
That's one of them yes
dapper oyster
altho im quite confused why the guide didnt use augmented neo instead of edencall wrist
augmented neo wrist has more stat
little swift
Theyre edenCHOIR not call
dapper oyster
it says edencall
twilit arch
because its a beginner set up
granite swan
Dear god, just finished Copied factory ... are all the 80 raids as chaotic? Lol
twilit arch
because neo-ish has sps
warped nest
Yes, Maethil
twilit arch
Smn doesn't want sps
dapper oyster
oh no i have full sps ._.
little swift
Ah I see now mb
twilit arch
like its not that big of a deal
gloomy mortar
How do you get the purple weapons?
little swift
Yeah sps tends to throw smn phases outta wack if that matters to you
warped nest
Purple weapon are relic weapons
twilit arch
Purple weapons are relic weapons.
dapper oyster
maybe some sps wont hurt but dont give it sps materia i think
twilit arch
yeah
warped nest
Can you be more specific on which purple weapon you want to get?
Or are you just wondering about them in general?
warped nest
Lvl 80 Resistance weapon
You finish the lvl 70 Ivalice alliance raid
Then the starting quest should show up in Kugane
little swift
Requires completion of shadowbringers as well
warped nest
Yes, I typed the level correctly
warped nest
Ehhhh
dapper oyster
also what to do with materia 7?
warped nest
Whether a materia is consider cheap or not Depends on how deep is your pocket
Materia 7 are for melding in the hidden slots
twilit arch
t8 shouldn't be that expensive tbh
warped nest
As 8 can only go into the first hidden slot
twilit arch
since there's a lot of ways of getting them
hunts are pretty easy way of getting clusters to exchange for t8
dapper oyster
i will check the market board later
karmic niche
Are does hunt soloable?
warped nest
Not the one that give those rewards
little swift
Weekly b ranks are soloable
gloomy mortar
How do you augment the neo ishgard gear? 🦃
little swift
But a and s ranks are not
You nees to finish shb
To augment
Vendors won't appear in eulmore until you do
dapper oyster
you are currently penalized for abandoning a duty, what i got DCed in eulmore tho @@
warped nest
Were you queueing for something?
gloomy mortar
You can take a Rank A lvl70 with just 2 people. Lvl80 needs at least 8-10 @karmic niche
dapper oyster
i did queue then dced
relog and thats what i got
it didnt say message that i got the party tho, it was like 20 mins long wait
granite swan
It probly popped during the time u were DCd and assumed you abandoned it >.>
gloomy mortar
If I do MSQ duty roulette as a lvl 70, how likely is it to get The a Praetorium?
twilit arch
50%
gloomy mortar
What other MSQs are there in between Praetorium and lvl 70?
wanton shadow
you might get higher odds by spamming PRAY FOR PRAE
warped nest
These two are the only two 8-player dungeons
And that's all the msq roulette will queue you into
granite swan
50%? I call your bluff, Praetorium is like 99% while the other is 1% :p
karmic niche
Haha that is true
slate crow
Are all market boards the same or do they vary from city to city?
warped nest
Same
twilit arch
all marketboards are same
slate crow
It made me wonder because I summoned my retainer in Ul’Dah, but it said I’m selling stuff on Gridanian market.
granite swan
Doin Nier Raid make me kinda wanna play Automata >.>
twilit arch
did you make your retainer in gridania?
slate crow
Yeah
twilit arch
Then they automatically are placed in gridania
it largely doesn't matter now, given that the buyers are always taxed regardless of what city they buy goods in
granite swan
I think someone posted a screenshot where some were "Reduced" but is it that big a difference?
twilit arch
that's for the seller tax. when you sell something, a small portion of the gil is taken
slate crow
Capitalism! XD
twilit arch
which if you're a serious market player then its definitely something to keep an eye on
but personally i don't bother
slate crow
Does Alphascape for the Omega raids have four areas like the others?

Each of the raid tiers for omega has 4 fights yes
terse rivet
how do i find a FC for raiding and an edens gate descent raid without duty finder (new player lvl 80). DF ive sat in Q hours different days
mental garnet
how does one buy phantasmagoria tomes? i saw a party finder ad for buying them
twilit arch
they're not buying the tomes themselves, they're buying the materials you exchange for phanta
granite swan
Is there a checklist for the Nier ... uh archive thingy? so i know if i missed something in the first zone?
twilit arch
iirc there's 11 data thingies
granite swan
hm time to hunt for the last 2 then
zinc orbitBOT
hidden lotus
So for Masked Carnivale #28, with the mini Forgall from Mhach, is there some particular strategy for when he summons the coffin-armed guys? I can't seem to burn them down fast enough without taking excessive damage and being KO'd by the boss' auto attacks.
never mind I actually managed to get it done, though just absolutely barely
granite swan
Isn't that how it goes? Ask for advice/complain/rant about something and it immediately works :p
nocturne ridge
is A4S dead raid? I wanted to get Gobwalker, but I can't find party both in DF and PF
bold flume
What does the game consider “critical health”? I see it mentioned on a scholar skill but it doesn’t seem to just be low hp unless I’m wrong
oak ice
You can set up your own, just do something like "mount farm until everyone has it" and do it unsynced
warped nest

warped nest
So with a crit heal, you get 19k HP
A 19k x 1.25 Galvanize shield
And a 19k x 1.25 Catalyze shield
bold flume
Oh sheeeit I didn’t even consider that healing could crit
rotund sable
healing can crit but it cant direct hit
soft bough
how do i use low blow and interject?
twilit arch
!faq interject
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
!action Low Blow
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
twilit arch
basically if you can't use interject, you can try using low blow
soft bough
sometimes i use during bar fill, it says interject has no effect
warped nest
Interject doesn't affect any random bar
twilit arch
some pulsing cast bars are just a little to fast to realistically use interject on
vital ruin
How's blu mage
I've seen a lot of people talking shit about it but idk if it's gud
warped nest
BLU is a mini game disguised as a job
soft bough
how do i time the low blow as well? it shows the enemy is stunned but the aoe still comes out
slate crow
Can I not simply add more days while my subscription is still active?
warped nest
There is not way to measure if it is good or bad compared to other jobs
warped nest
how do i time the low blow as well? it shows the enemy is stunned but the aoe still comes out
@soft bough do it earlier
BLU is capped at lvl 60
soft bough
so pulsing cast bars can be interject
warped nest
And they cannot queue for dungeons via duty finder. Only with pre-made party
wet cradle
where does the eden unlock quest start? do someone know it?
stable herald
regarding Trusts, can I just pull and afk?
solar shale
Just got into the game a few weeks ago, currently just got to ishgard with my warrior at lv54, been meaning to pick up gunbreaker but that's locked till 60, frankly I'm pretty bored of warrior and the aethstetics, I'm aware DK starts at 30 but the leveling from 30 - 60 seems like a pain, should I stick with warrior till 60 if it isn't that far off from 54 or should I pick up Dk and level that instead?
warped nest
If you want trust dungeon to go longer, sure
twilit arch
eden's unlock quest is in crystarium @wet cradle
wet cradle
thanks!!!
stable herald
but it's do-able yea?
warped nest
That's why i said BLU is a mini game disguised as a job
vital ruin
So don't use Blu?
warped nest
It is a mini game disguised as a job, it is a side content
vital ruin
I c
warped nest
You can use it to do some story, but definitely not the important part
twilit arch
@solar shale leveling dark isn't that much of a pain. Do your daily roulettes + highest level dungeons (barring 50 dungeons, do aurum vale instead or palace of the dead) and you'll be back up to your msq lvl in no time
vital ruin
Dammit then why the level system
My Blu is level 1
warped nest
@stable herald if you take too much damage, the trust might spent too much time focus on healing you, this might get them into troubles and possibly lead to a wipe
Plus I am fairly sure that if you die, it is a wipe automatically...
stable herald
@warped nest I was just thinking, pull pack then stay in a corner
warped nest
Give it a try, then you will know whether it is viable or not
Btw, trust don't do AOE
Only tank trust does for aggro
I am told that the DPS trust only has single target skills
twilit arch
yes and no
stable herald
yeah, it just I have something sorta going on-off in the background
twilit arch
y'shtola has a few spells that do aoe
stable herald
so I was wondering if I could like, trust my trusts to deal with things while i do stuff
twilit arch
but its not very reliable
And you can't completely afk with trusts
you do need to keep an eye out at the very least
like if you've got dual monitors and wanna do work on your second monitor, yeah that works
just make sure you're moving yourself out of the bad and such
stable herald
I see. Alright
warped nest
depending on what you are working on, you might be better off just queueing for a dungeon normally
And use the queue time to focus fully on your other work
Then come and do a 20 minute dungeon as a break, rinse and repeat
leaden ginkgo
uhh how do i get the yokai watch quest ?

Hi, does anyone knows how to change the auto lock on target when playing as an archer? I realy dont like the auto lock on feature it makes the camera angle weird and im not used to it, i tried changing the settings but it didnt change anything
deft vortex
you can use legacy camera
obsidian patio
I honestly stopped using using lock on entirely once they removed the directional requirement from auto-attacks
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
but it would be in character config > general > targeting
dense vigil
I did use the legacy camera but it still lock on on my target automatically
Ah okay thanks imma try it
plain python
does elemental damage have any meaning in this game? I see WHM casts Earth and Wind, while Schlar deals unaspected

no, elemental damage and such is just flavour
granite swan
Can Squads do higher level missions? Theres only a single lv 30 dungeon 😦
twilit arch
yes
granite swan
do they stay lower level or do they scale up?
twilit arch
uhh i think they scale, not sure. when they introduced command missions my squadron was already 50 🤷♀️
granite swan
Ah k, ill give it a shot and see :p
RIP cant do it since they arent 41
Why only a single 30 dungeon, ffs
lol
oak ice
They scale down in level, but their item level is unsynced

is there any point in squadron after you get promoted to first lieu?

I heard about the armory bonus and Im not sure if it's wise to switch
tulip plover
Main warrior just like playing other stuff too i like being versatile
gusty pasture
at least, until the main job reaches 70. am I correct?
gusty pasture
I just thought that the exp boost matters so much
oak ice
If you have the 2x bonus, it could be advantageous for you to do MSQ on multiple jobs
But armoury bonus is functionally the same either way, one job will always miss out on it
gusty pasture
what 2x bonus?
oak ice
Road to 70
tender merlin
hello, not sure if this is the right channel for this, but i figured since its a question it might fitting here aswell, i was wondering how exactly does end game armors/weapons drop? or rather obtained? my only other mmorpg experience is from wow ( which i only played until level 37) and based from i read on both final fantasy online and wow, armors are dropped in dungeons or crafted?
oak ice
You get it for making a new character on a preferred server
zinc orbitBOT
oak ice
It's not preferred
glad comet
@tender merlin Hey. In terms of endgame content, armor is a mix of crafted as well as dungeon/raid drops
you get endgame items through doing raids, crafting or buying certain equipment
tidal yarrow
how do i unlock cinder drift extreme?
glad comet
the lochs @tidal yarrow
warped nest
@tender merlin you can buy crafted endgame gear, but they are usually the weaker gear compared to the following two:
- traded with a weekly capped endgame currency
- drop from savage raid
tender merlin
hmm im still new here so i probably wont dabble on crafting that early, is it possible to raid for equipments, then buy the craftables through market?
tawdry otter
Bring square Enix new music with patch 5.4?
glad comet
yes @tender merlin
warped nest
There are also weapons from ex trials, armors from alliance raids, gears from normal difficulty raid
tender merlin
thank you for this, im going to research more on how to make gil
glad comet
there's a lot of avenues to earning gil, its just choosing the one you find easiest
tender merlin
also another question, are things on the apartment bought through gil? i watched a person tour her apartment in ffxiv and it looked so pretty, are chairs, tv, cooking station, etc real money or gil?
tawdry otter
Gil you can buy your own house later when you have enough Gil. About the items in the house you can craft it or buy in mogry kiosk
tender merlin
are they crafted or dropped? or bought in the market?
obsidian patio
most furniture is crafted and can be bought on the marketboard (player market)
tender merlin
just the housing alone in final fantasy makes me want to buy it already its so interesting
thank you guys for the infos!

Does anyone use a macro for trick attack on ninja? Not to actually execute the skill but to let your party know it’s active?

@mild ermine I think alerts are not possible for others

What do you mean? I see them in the chat all the time when someone has a macro set for a skill.
hot eagle
@tidal yarrow After completing the quest Ruby Doomsday, speak to the Warmachina Fanatic in The Lochs (X:11.5 Y:22.5) as a level 80 Disciple of War or Magic.
obsidian patio
My assumption is probably, since the Firmament got a new theme when the construction was finished for phase 2
mild ermine
For an example when a GNB uses super bolide an Alert noise goes off, and in the chat it says “Using super bolide don’t panic”
I want one for trick attack to let my party members know the buff is active
granite swan
Anyone know what Tactic you want for your Healer in the Squadron stuff? Would Offensive boost healing? or do you want independent?
obsidian patio
offensive is pure damage
it also makes the healer more aggressive in their healing, which means they won't heal as often
granite swan
ah
obsidian patio
I only suggest going for offensive if you're the tank and not doing a dungeon dependent on healing for a mechanic, like wanderer's hard
tawdry otter
I want one for trick attack to let my party members know the buff is active
@mild ermine maybe /p and your text
If you write that into your macro
granite swan
Guess the Squad thing is just messin with me at this point ... my dps refuses to get offensive and my tank refuses to get defensive and my healer is boosting her offensive stance rofl

leaden ginkgo
So I finally brought the full game, I need some new friends?
cedar compass
Do people still run coil of Bahammut?
obsidian patio
@rose dune anything over item level 410 or 430 should be enough to fully cap both stats in eureka due to the item level sync.
The Elemental +2 gear and the Physeos weapon (Final-final step of Eureka Weapon) also provide the elemental bonus
rose dune
@obsidian patio ok so my crystarium gear should be enough? But materia dont count right?
obsidian patio
correct
If you want to be super duper min max, then you can get the i300 Imperial Jade Jewelry and pentameld that.

which Squadron Tactic should I use for my AI Healer? It seems they're just braindead and refuse to heal me :T

- Buy a crafting set on the MB depending on gil you have (Dwarven if poor, Aesthete if rich)
- Buy NQ dwarven gear and make an HQ set with that to start crafting 80 stuff, then grind White Scrips and buy the White Scrip crafting set
Pick one
twilit arch
i wouldn't bother with dwarven at this point
wraith ridge
thank u!
twilit arch
unless facet is super expensive, should look at that instead
median locust
Feel like Facet/Aesthete would be too expensive, and can you grind white scrips in 70 gear?
wraith ridge
i am in lv70 gear rn and im grinding white scrips
median locust
yeah I wonder
twilit arch
stat requirement for the lvl 80 scrip stuff isn't that bad
wraith ridge
should i just go for the white scrip crafting set?
twilit arch
like they were rather generous in the curve this time
twilit arch
depends on what you're aiming for
median locust
squid?
wraith ridge
im trying to make my own aesthete
wraith ridge
so rn im building myself up from lv70
kind eagle
i wanna know what happen to allie
median locust
Yes there's more quests
twilit arch
hm white scrip gear is ok, though you might need some lightly melded dwarven accessories with food and tea
kind eagle
after i progress msq?
median locust
They add to the story with every patch
kind eagle
theres nothing from resistance now
wraith ridge
ah icic
median locust
So after you beat ||Hades|| there's still story left
wraith ridge
yea i wanted to make as much stuff on my own
median locust
Should be in the Rising Stones probably?
twilit arch
that's all there is for the weapon quests
kind eagle
median locust
oh for the weapons questline
kind eagle
then fighting squid
potent lava
So I got curious and jumped down after Titan died
...how do I get out
median locust
thought you called (5.0 final boss)||Hades|| a squid
kind eagle
you couldnt find the way out?
ye not final boss
im at post msq now
wanna know what happen to her
potent lava
couldnt figure out how to get back up to the platform, since the fall didnt kill me; just had to bring up the duty finder and quit ther
median locust
yeah that works in pretty much any duty
especially useful when the exit is far away (Steps of Faith)
frail sapphire
Why does expert duty roulette reward less than if I specifically chose the same 80 dungeons?
twilit arch
The reward is once a day
frail sapphire
ah got it
I noticed the aether hunt discord is really popular. Why do people do hunts and whats the difference between the different ranks of hunts?
twilit arch
hunts are a quick means of getting allegory, phanta, nuts, and cracked stella/planiclusters
a ranks spawn every 4-6 hrs iirc, so you can get trains for those pretty consistently thru the day
with s ranks giving the most rewards but have much longer spawn timers as well has having special conditions
warped nest
Nuts can be traded for the upgrade mats to augment Allegory gears
median locust
Hunt bills - Gives you a list of random overworld mobs you have to kill. This resets daily.
B-ranks - There's a hunt bill for an Elite Hunt Mark, it asks you to find a specific B-rank. This gives you a handful of Centurio Seals and resets weekly.
A-ranks - Respawns every few hours, gives a handful of stuff as Kaelwryn said, don't need a bill
S-ranks - Spawns under specific conditions and can only spawn every few days, gives better rewards than A-ranks
A and S are intended to be fought as a group
warped nest
Currently there are only 3 ways to get these:
- Savage raid: weekly limit, and you might not get a thing at all
- Nier raid: one per week
- nuts: as many as you can grind
median locust
usually 3-5+ parties
frail sapphire
Ahh great thanks for the explaination guys
@warped nest 3 ways to get the upgrade mats?
frail sapphire
no i just wanted to clarify what you meant by these
plain python
are there only one type of craftable glamor prism now?
warped nest
The mats to augment Crystarium gear
frail sapphire
got it
warped nest
are there only one type of craftable glamor prism now?
@plain python yes
plain python
cool
warped nest
Nuts has no limit, but it is pretty grindy
The 2nd Nier raid are limited to one coin per week, and you needed coin from the 1st and 2nd to trade for a upgrade item
frail sapphire
what's the typical ilvl we'd want to be for ultimate?
warped nest
The highest possible
deft yarrow
is the duty list the thing that shows yoru objectives in dungeons?
warped nest
505 weapon + 500 gears
frail sapphire
ah ok got it ty
warped nest
is the duty list the thing that shows yoru objectives in dungeons?
@deft yarrow yes
deft yarrow
does it only show dungeon objectives when in a dungeon?
warped nest
Yes
plain python
are Rank A and S hunt as tough as to Odin Fate? That guy wipes lv70 party with ease.
median locust
No, unless they're level 80, then yes
jade lava
how do i get the "so you want to be an archer" quest?
median locust
Reach level 10 in your starting class, do your level 10 class quest, then you'll be able to pick it up from the Archer's Guild in Gridania
jade lava
i don't see it on the map but i guess ill go check
median locust
If you didn't start in Gridania, you will need to wait until you reach "The ____ Envoy" main story quest that takes you to other cities
which is level 15
leaden ginkgo
can you trade market prohibited items that would be marketable before you used them?
median locust
If it says market prohibited, it couldn't be sold at any point
jade lava
i teleported and it just came up
leaden ginkgo
alot of stuff says market prohibited after the spirit bond though no?
median locust
Quests don't show up on the map unless you're in the arena
They don't
They say "Binding"
leaden ginkgo
oh
plain python
@warped nest I can craft lv15 prism of any crafter jobs and turn them into glamour prism, right?
leaden ginkgo
would I be able to trade those?
median locust
Binding means untradeable and market prohibited, because you already used the item
leaden ginkgo
ahh so its stuck with me
median locust
yep
leaden ginkgo
thanks!
gusty pasture
whats the difference between green and yellow?
mortal vapor
Lvl 16 rogue but I don't have lvl 15 abilities, did i fk up something? 
patent citrus
yellow is tied to MSQ
median locust
Green means it's found in the overworld
Yellow is tied to a quest, not necessarly MSQ
warped nest
@plain python I don't remember the recipe level of glamour prism
gusty pasture
ah. poor shame. I thought I was close to flying
median locust
@mortal vapor Did you do your class quest for level 15
warped nest
But yes, it is one single universal glamour prism that can be traded
gusty pasture
yellows come from blues?
patent citrus
im not sure, but by the time i finished HW, i unlocked all yellow
mortal vapor
Not sure Ive been running around doing hunting log, ill check thank
patent citrus
and all i've done was do all the blue and msq
median locust
@patent citrus Kill overworld mobs a few levels above your own, when you reach level 20 ish, go learn 1000 needles, which will allow you to kill lv31-32 mobs
patent citrus
i don't even knew about aether current system till i finished HW...
So i had to gather the green one after i finished HW
I thought it would unlocked automatically like in ARR
median locust
after that I can't say cause I got a friend to powerlevel me, which by the way is the fastest way to level it by far
open rivet
~~levemetes 
~~
median locust
leves are situationally useful for blu
makes some spells easier to get lol
like overworld cactuar that cast 1000 needles are all like... level 27? but there's one from a leve that's 24 so you can learn it early
open rivet
since you can't enter PotD or Command Missions as BLU,
I'd guess Levemetes are one of the fastest ways to level if you force quick leves
twilit arch
no
wintry chasm
Not really
twilit arch
leves are not close to being useful for blue mage
like fissie said, only reason to do leves for blu is as a means of getting certain spells
median locust
Leves are really bad for levelling any combat job
twilit arch
blue mage earns more exp from open world mobs than other jobs, so the best way to level blue is to murder open world mobs. Easier if you have a friend who's willing to kill higher lvl mobs that you've tagged
simple shore
There's really no need to get powerleveled on BLU tho
it only takes a few hours of overworld grinding to go all the way to 60
There's no special trick or anything. Just kill things that you can learn spells from (since learning spells gives you some bonus exp) and things that are same or higher level than you so you get EXP bonus

want to chk for e8s loot drop, it will always drop 1 weapon coffer + 1 class specfic weapon. Is the class specific weapon only limited to the 8 classes that cleared? or there's a chance of all classes dropping

oh shit i queued with drk but i didn't play it in a month
unmend is like ranged attack to get aggro?
simple shore
Yes
tidal yarrow
what does "unaspected damage" mean?
faint flare
Its magic
simple shore
Unaspected doesnt really mean anything functionally from your standpoint.
median locust
Magic with no element basically
tidal yarrow
DRK at 50 only has unleash as aoe?
median locust
Yes
tidal yarrow
that's super sad wow
faint flare
Yeah, despite getting reworked in the expansion, the order it learns skills is wack
simple shore
DRK feels like shit sub-70
wispy parcel
A lot of jobs dont feel great until 60 or 70

there's this weird sandstom in lower la noscea, is it like Odin fate?
where the whole area changes
or is it just normal weather
nevermind, think it was just fog with the time of day causing a yellowish hue
oak chasm
Whats the most popular HoH floor?
median locust
21-30
simple shore
Technically you can solo all of it
median locust
With no Aetherpool, probably not
oak chasm
i guess il just wait in queue until i get to floor 21
median locust
Queues will be a lot better once you get there, yeah
Cause you can just start from 21 everytime without having to redo 1-20
wispy parcel
Depends on what youre queueing for Yuuko
Alliance raid roulette for tanks can be like 20 minutes
Even with in need bonus
calm phoenix
I need to go to the Observatorium for a MSQ but I have no clue how to get there! The map acts like it is a different nation west of Gridiana but it is NOT Limsa or Ul'Dah! How do I seek passage there?
I am in Gridiana
twilit arch
go to gridania and exit to the north shroud
Then head to the northwest ish zone line
that'll take you to coerthas central highlands
calm phoenix
Why did the map show the world map then? It usually only does that if I am not currently in that nation but I am
twilit arch
because coerthas isn't part of gridania
wispy parcel
Coerthas is part of the holy see of ishgard
twilit arch
coerthas is a seperate region from the black shroud
and has the city state of Ishgard
calm phoenix
I take it that there is no airship or anything to go there?
faint flare
Nope. Because ishgard is closed currently
wispy parcel
Ishgard itself is HW content
calm phoenix
What is the nearest aetherite to there in Gridiana? and if I am not even level 50 yet, why is it asking me to go to a Heavensward area? It is the level 36 quest
twilit arch
because coerthas central highlands isn't heavensward
its part of ARR
Ishgard, the city itself, is
like I said, just exit out of gridania into north shroud and then head past fallgourd float to the zone line
wispy parcel
For reasons that will be explained later they dont allow foreigners anywhere past the central highlands
median locust
Central Highlands is outside Ishgard which is a level 37-45 area
twilit arch
it'll lead you to central highlands which is were the observatorium is
calm phoenix
Your directions are confusing. I assume that I need to go far so I want to teleport to the nearest Aetherite and then head there
faint flare
Teleport to the North shroud
twilit arch
the nearest aetheryte is fallgour float
and then go west until you hit the zone line (the dotted lines that indicate you're going to be entering the next zone)
median locust
North Shroud:

charred hatch
Exactly how annoying is it to have text macro for certain actions?
zinc orbitBOT
young fjord
@charred hatch The only acceptable text macro bound to a action to have is a <t> macro for your raise so the other healer know who you are targeting with your rez
halcyon glen
Not that I don't know people who have others
median locust
Acceptable text macros are like, Res and tank invulns
If you use it more than once in 5 minutes it's probably annoying
unless it's a res macro
and it's small
cerulean grove
Is there any other things i should be doing daily/actively other than daily roulette?

Not that you "Should" but I suggest beast tribes
Good money/exp rewards for little time investments

if i fully finished my anima weapon, do i have access to the earlier levels? can i buy each stages from a vendor? or do i have to start over again?
young fjord
You can buy a "replica" of the weapon for the different stages
crimson notch
oh nice. may i ask where?
young fjord
Replica weapons have next to no stats on them, you only use them for glamour
twilit arch

From one of the nods in azys lla

Can I get the quest list for shadowbringers

Is there a list of which SE Store items are still available / valid?

spiral idol
is there anything to spend my poetics on
I'm lvl 60 but I only started hw
is there a way to get shire weapons?
wispy parcel
No you have to beat 3.0 first
median locust
iirc you just have to reach Idyllshire
the vendor in Ishgard is the one that only unlocks when you beat 3.0
tidal yarrow
i was so hyped doing this cause i saw a coffer as reward and at the end it didn't give me this armor?!
it gave me a shitty tanky one lol, how do i get this?
it's the cutscene job quests drk like lvl50
glossy flare
you get that one for the lvl 60 drk job quest
glossy flare
(even though this is the worst looking drk armor of the 3 job specific ones imho)
tidal yarrow
it looked so cool in the cutscene
glossy flare
I mean... it's not bad. The others are just better 😄
tidal yarrow
what other 2 you're talking about?
wispy parcel
Level 70 and 80 artifact gear
faint flare
There's one at 60, 70 and 80
wispy parcel
They are all gotten through job quests
tidal yarrow
lvl80 job quests are a thing?
faint flare
Role questd
glossy flare
you get the lvl 80 one through a vendor you encounter during the msq
wispy parcel
80 its role quests
faint flare
Then its from Grendolt
glossy flare
But there is one lvl 80 job quest for each job
faint flare
The 430 gear
glossy flare
Only one though
wispy parcel
Level 80 job quest is pretty much just closure for all the job storylines, but they give ya cool titles
tidal yarrow
how living dead works?
wispy parcel
It take effect when ur HP hits 0
glossy flare
if you would die while under the effect you don't die
wispy parcel
A healer has to heal you too full else you die
glossy flare
However, it then gives you walking dead as an effect and you have to be healed back to 100%
otherwise you ded
tidal yarrow
that sounds op. do you get like invincibility for 10 seconds?
wispy parcel
7 sec
wispy parcel
And living dead is easily the worst of the 4 tanks super abilities imo
PLD's Hallowed Ground just makes them fully invincible for 7 seconds
No draw backs
faint flare
You're not invincible when under walking dead
cerulean grove
do the blue exclamation mark leves quest unlock anything important?
tidal yarrow
You're not invincible when under walking dead
what can hit during that?
median locust
Under walking dead you can't die unless the debuff runs out
tidal yarrow
oh
faint flare
Basically its worse Holmgang
tidal yarrow
then it's not that great honestly
if you pulled too much and pop it you won't change anything
just you'll die 7 seconds later
faint flare
Depends on healer
wispy parcel
Well no if you are partied with a WHM they can use benediction
faint flare
If there's a white mage they can just bene last second
LD does require some communication and trust in the healer
tidal yarrow
what if you are full hp but a mob auto attack you at last moment
do you need 100% hp?
faint flare
No
You just need to be healed equal to 100% of your hp
Over the duration of the immunity
tidal yarrow
makes sense
wispy parcel
Yea its just Holmgang lite
faint flare
Bene is just the easiest way to do it
While scholar and astro need more resources to heal it
honest anvil
Why is Use greyed out when I try to use this minion? ultros btw
open coral
Do you already have the minion?
faint flare
Do you already have it or you're occupied
honest anvil
no to both
tidal yarrow
While scholar and astro need more resources to heal it
since I've never played healer idk how they work. before popping it i should check their mana to see if they will be able to heal me?
open coral
@tidal yarrow It's not about MP resources, but rather about the spells the healers has available to heal the required amount of HP
tidal yarrow
oh fair
faint flare
Like Excog, Recitation , aetherflow, stuff like Essential digity etc
tidal yarrow
does drk have any auto heal
green grail
doesnt really look like a right click menu for a minion with the "add all to saddlebag" and "search recipes using this material" @honest anvil
faint flare
Only in Souleater and Abyssal drain
wispy parcel
!action Abyssal Drain
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
faint flare
But those are minor
wispy parcel
Is good for mobs
green grail
unless theyre there and i never noticed lol
honest anvil
Close the saddlebag
@faint flare that works ... tks the 12 and you
faint flare
Abyssal is good on trash
open coral
DRK has a little self healing, but nothing that will do the required amount of healing to compensate for Walking Dead
tidal yarrow
drk has little self healing, bad lvl50 spell. what does it have more than the other tanks?

wow 15seconds cooldown on a 25% hp shield?
wispy parcel
There we go
open coral
Yeah, TBN is super OP
open coral
And if the DRK knows what they're doing and uses it correctly, the healer practically doesn't have to heal them at all.
It's great.
tidal yarrow
mfw when i was 80 in stormblood
pearl dome
re: DRK living dead skill, in order to use it properly you should know the boss' attack patterns, right?
wispy parcel
You dont really need it for anything before that but yea it sucks
open coral
Living Dead should only be used in direst of circumstances.
tidal yarrow
And if the DRK knows what they're doing and uses it correctly, the healer practically doesn't have to heal them at all.
woah that sounds good ngl
wispy parcel
Yea all the big defensive CDs have massive cool down times
faint flare
Every tank should know the boss to plan out tank immunities and cooldowns
wispy parcel
You need to know when to use them
glossy flare
tbh, before you do savage/extreme content there really is no need to use living dead at all
faint flare
Drk is no exception
pearl dome
I mean, I did my very first tank jobs with low level dungeons and I was fine without knowing them; when should I start studying bosses patterns/tankbusters etc.?
open coral
As a healer I like it when the tank uses LD/SB on big trash pulls.
pearl dome
I am level 20ish atm
faint flare
When you do higher end content
pearl dome
With my GLD
tidal yarrow
can you use living dead to survive like first 4 spears mechanics/donut/sword of light/all those one shot attacks?
open coral
Immune so I can go in and dps for a few seconds, then Bene them to full HP.
wispy parcel
You dont really ever need to use the immune CDs for casual content
Unless something has gone horribly wrong
open coral
Some attacks will go right through even immunities.
faint flare
LD acts like any other immunity and wipe mechanics will still go through it
tidal yarrow
with wipe you mean one shot attacks?
faint meadow
I dunno I feel weird playing drk without tbn. Sure, you won't die before then but....it feels like you have huge gaps in defensive cooldowns
And it seems like tbn was meant to cover them?
glossy flare
attacks that are meant to wipe the raide because you failed some mechanic
open coral
Wipe mechanics are like, enrage mechanics.
faint flare
LD wony work vs Ramuh spears
tidal yarrow
oh okay
faint flare
Things like that
open coral
"One shot" attacks that only target one player are typically just tankbusters inappropriately handled.
tidal yarrow
but i think donut does like 250k damage, this will be survivable?
open coral
You can immune tankbusters if you really want to,
But usually using something that big isn't necessary.
faint meadow
Like, I was playing the vault yesterday for my leveling roulette and it's not hard but it felt like I had a long wait before I could use a defensive again even though I was rolling my cooldowns
meager pilot
Does anyone know if there is a way for me to make it so that instead of using ctrl and shift with the numbers on hotbar 2 and 3, that i can use numbers with my mouse side buttons?
glossy flare
you can just bind your mouse buttons to the hotbar
open coral
@faint meadow Were you only using your class kit and not rolling in the three role mitigations?
glossy flare
same with holding them down for multi purpose numbers or whatever
open coral
Or just popping everything all at once?
faint meadow
I was using everything, not at once though
Just letting them fall off then apply another
It still felt like gaps are too big without tbn
vivid wolf
if i start a roulette like 5min before reset, do i get the reset bonus when i finish it?
open coral
In level 65 content you should still have enough cds to cover everythign.
faint meadow
Maybe I need to delay a bit in betweeen?
glossy flare
3 role mitigations? Aren't there only 2 that actually mitigate damage?
hexed shuttle
Is there a way to access old chat log files?
open coral
Arm's Length applies a slow, and counts as mitigation.
hexed shuttle
Old as in ~2 weeks ago?
glossy flare
fair enough, though it doesn't do anything against damage
faint meadow
Also the vault is HW
tidal yarrow
now that i think of it living dead on casual content like low level roulettes it's super risky cause the healer actually needs to pay attention to your buffs/debuffs to see if you casted it o.o
open coral
It slows the enemy's attacks, that reduces incoming damage.
faint meadow
Like lv 57 or sumthin
glossy flare
ld anywhere is risky if the healer is not aware
It should always be communicated in some way
wispy parcel
You really shouldnt have to use the immune CDs in casual content at all
faint meadow
I mean
open coral
It's 57 yeah. I just got to it on my alt last night but I always forget that levels between 50 and 60 exist for some reason.
