Is the next Ishgard restoration update this Tuesday?
faint flare
Just ishgard restoration updates
copper marsh
So probably new mount right? I’ve been saving my scrips to be able to immediately buy it and make money
tulip plover
How do yoy get more gc guys for dungeons
faint flare
Challenge logs
shut kelp
Ah
tulip plover
Is it random?
faint flare
Yes
tulip plover
I just got 3 but no guys
faint flare
Complete rng
shut kelp
I'm down for a new mount
faint flare
We have a new outfit at least...pool for kupo might change and probably other stuff with scrips
limber heron
For gathering HQ items, is perception the most important stat?
faint flare
To cap the 15% rate
vivid thorn
and then how do I address this horrible ping? I have 1200-1500ms ping
maybe that's why I can,t seem to get out of aoe fast enough
sometimes*
faint flare
If its constantly then probably check your connection and IP...if not then probably server hiccups
honest anvil
can i reacquire story given glamour pieces? like, the scion suit from tataru?
shut kelp
Ahh yeah. Isn't there a dark knight rotation that requires good ping?
faint flare
Drk in general double weaves often with Edges and other stuff
Especially during bursts when your 60s come off cd
elder sinew
Is there a reason why everyone I try to msg, get this error?
ivory pewter
are you free trial?
elder sinew
No, paid
ripe hound
What does AST's Horoscope do?
I can't seem to understand
ivory pewter
are you 2 in different worlds
ripe hound
Ok I think I got it
faint flare
Horoscope in short
remote lintel
horoscope is an extra ogcd heal
faint flare
If you use it and dont heal, its 100 pot
If you use it then gcd heal, its boosted to 400 pot
remote lintel
aoe gcd heal
ripe hound
Yeah, I think basically after you use it, you have 10 seconds where you need to put in another AOE heal
faint flare
Yes
ripe hound
After that it says for 30 seconds
And I can use it as an AOE Essential Dignity whenever I want
faint flare
Usually used in combination where you know you'll be aoe gcd healing to help top up
Or you can cast it prepull
ripe hound
kk
faint flare
For the first few seconds
ripe hound
I'l playing AST and I'm like wow it's a lot of oGCD heals
Are all healers like this or is just AST super oGCD heals?
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
scholar kinda has a lot
faint flare
Because the ogcd heals are your first line of healing
remote lintel
depending
ripe hound
I see
faint flare
So healers get a good amount
ripe hound
It's just that a lot of my oGCD heals require planning
faint flare
White mage has the least ogcd heals but they're stronger on average
ripe hound
Oh right, Noct make everything instant barrier
faint flare
Astro too in a sense with Star and Horoscope
And neutral
Though all healers plan their cooldowns
So somewhat mute
ripe hound
Collective Unconscious is mostly used by flashing right?
remote lintel
yes
faint flare
Yes
ripe hound
Just flash it, and a Regen / Damage reduction pops
faint flare
Yes
And if timed correctly, the damage reduction will snapshot whatever aoe is going
ripe hound
Main use is for the 4 AST's in a 24 man to stack it together, and people's eyes burn
remote lintel
no thats 4 whms with holy
ripe hound
lol
little swift
You can set others effects to limited
ripe hound
Hey I brought this beefy computer to enjoy GRAPHICS!
Although pretty much whenever a RDM LB3 or something I have to guess where the AOE circles are
Also if I don't know what I'm doing what should I meld to my gear?
Like Crit?
For AST Crit can be useful for Crit Noct shields right?
crimson wind
Which is theoretically stronger, Recite Excog or recite Adlo?
ripe hound
Wait wut?
What's Scholar crit adlos?
I mean, do SCH get some extra benefit for critting?

Does the Wondrous Tails turnin also give exp to DoH/DoL?
lavish fractal
wheres should u grind fates for the heavensward ones
warped nest
@umbral lance no
faint flare
When they crit adlo, they get a additional shield ontop of the adlo of 125% of the hp healed
umbral lance
darn, ty
faint flare
Crit adlos are very big shields
crimson wind
Recitation guarantees said crit
warped nest
Somewhere there in this channel

yeah it just says all heavensward areas, just wondering if anyone has a preferred zone for farming fates
warped nest
!action Recitation

faint flare
I see people like Falcon nest
ripe hound
But if I don't know what I'm doing I should still just fill Crit first right? For AST and RDM?
faint flare
Pretty much
ripe hound
kk
faint flare
Crit is universally good
warped nest
Crit is almost always preferred for all dow/m
ripe hound
And then maybe Ditermination or Directy hit?
faint flare
Usually DH
crimson wind
WAR is one of the only Jobs that are picky with materia
ripe hound
kk
faint flare
Materia in general is Speed to whatever tier you need to hit (Piety for healers if needed) > Crit > DH (ignore if Warrior, Healer pick this for extra dps) > det > rest
ripe hound
What's Direct Hit again? Basically another Critical Hit?
faint flare
Mini crits
ripe hound
kk
faint flare
They do 25% more damage than normal
faint flare
Only if your job has a tier it needs to hit
warped nest
Only to hit a certain tier
faint flare
As Some do
warped nest
More is not always better
ripe hound
If I don't know what it is can I ignore it for now?
faint flare
Generally
remote lintel
you dont need to meld below 80 anyway
warped nest
Materia melding can be ignored until lvl 80
faint flare
Astro and rdm dont need speed much
ripe hound
Cool
remote lintel
ast kinda does
ripe hound
Yeah I just hit 80
faint flare
I said much
faint flare
!faq Balance
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Has melding stuff
ripe hound
Oh cool thanks
warped nest
Btw, if I may
Direct Hit improve your chance to do direct hits (this doesn't affect heal btw), which is 25 percent more damage
Critical Hit improve your chances to crit (heal and damage), and how much more a critical heal/attack will do
ripe hound
Direct hit does not effect healing output right?
faint flare
No
tulip plover
Is it common in bs that you get a bunch of story quests at once
If so im liking this
patent citrus
as GNB do you open with rough divide or lightning shot?
jade quartz
bs?
faint flare
Lightning
tulip plover
Oops storm blood
faint flare
Rough divides are in No mercy
vivid thorn
maybe I can get my panic attacks under control if I can fix my high ping
patent citrus
i see hahaha
warped nest
Gap closer are usually oGCD
potent lava
how do you view what titles you have, and may current have on your name right now
ripe hound
I just met Grenoldt, he gives you free lv 80 gear right?
warped nest
And any damage oGCD are usually treated as damage oGCD first
remote lintel
when you do the role quests yes
faint flare
Character page > 2nd tab
ripe hound
If I lost the gear Grenoldt give me, can I get it again?
remote lintel
yes
faint flare
Then press the page thing
warped nest
I just met Grenoldt, he gives you free lv 80 gear right?
@ripe hound only after you finish the role quests
ripe hound
I can ask for the gear again right?
faint flare
Yes
warped nest
Yes
faint flare
!faq gearguide
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
It is your best choice before you beat story
faint flare
Yes its enough
You might pick up some accessories from the last dungeon
To smooth it out
As long as you have the job gear you're good
ripe hound
kk
faint flare
Otherwise its super sketchy hp wise with raid wides
ripe hound
After completing MSQ my first step should be Resistance Weapons right?
warped nest
Do more MSQ
faint flare
If you have done the lv70 24mans
faint flare
You can pick it up
ripe hound
kk, I've done it
plain python
is there a way to input map coordinates on chatbox and have it put a flag on your map?
faint flare
Which is like
ripe hound
Oh
faint flare
Very soon after
warped nest
Resistance weapon is recommended because it takes no effort to get the first one, and only 1000 poetics to get more
faint flare
Finishing Shadowbringers
remote lintel
and 5.3 requires at least i460
warped nest
But once a new tier of gear is out, resistance weapons would need a lot of grinding to keep up
ripe hound
I see, but I still need like 5.2 or 5.3 MSQ done to access Resistance right?
remote lintel
no
warped nest
@plain python don't think so
ripe hound
But yeah, I don't think I want to grind a lot, so I'm gonna try to gear up and try to get Warrior of light Weapons
patent citrus
like when's the example of situation should I use superbolide on
seems very risky
until now i've been avoid using it
faint flare
Hard hitting tank busters
ripe hound
I need like 480 to even enter though...
patent citrus
but wanted to know when to use it
faint flare
Large trash pulls
remote lintel
superbolide isnt risky at all
ripe hound
Yeah Superbolide feels rather safe
patent citrus
does it gives immunity a few secs after usage?
ripe hound
Compared to Living Dead or something
remote lintel
yes
patent citrus
ohhh
remote lintel
thats the point of the move
warped nest
!action superbolide
ripe hound
It gives 10 seconds
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
ripe hound
Oh 8
patent citrus
niceeee
warped nest
Renders you impervious to most attacks...
ripe hound
I never noticed Superbolide is 2s shortert than Hallowed ground
patent citrus
so it's imprevious hehe
remote lintel
all tanks have an invuln move
jade quartz
huh?
ripe hound
The "sets you to 1" part is usually irrelevant right?
remote lintel
i think
patent citrus
ok then I guess I'll use it more often
remote lintel
idk what holmgang does
remote lintel
so invuln
jade quartz
well it's relevant because the healer has to heal you
warped nest
Holmgang is you cannot be killed, and you are bounded
patent citrus
my other 2 tanks are still lvl 30ish so yeah
faint flare
Death immunity
warped nest
Different method of invuln
jade quartz
Holmgang no longer binds the player
faint flare
You still take damage
ripe hound
Can you move when you Holmgang?
faint flare
While Holmgang
ripe hound
Oh nice
faint flare
Yes
warped nest
Paladin and Gunbreaker just doesn't take damage
ripe hound
No bind nice
faint flare
Holmgang doesn't require a target anymore either
warped nest
While Warrior/Dark Knight cannot be killed
patent citrus
oh so while i use superbolide, i can't move?
warped nest
No
ripe hound
But yeah, it feels a bit risky, a bit less risky than Living dead I guess
faint flare
You can
patent citrus
alright
faint flare
LD is considered the worst immunity due to the healing requirement
remote lintel
supoerbolide isnt risky at all if you have a healer with more than 2 brain cells
warped nest
I forgot that Holmgang no longer has the bind effect
granite swan
Plot Twist: The True Final Boss - ||Rowena|| callin it now >.>
ripe hound
Wait, there are like a few situations where can't be killed is important right?
remote lintel
more than a few but yes
warped nest
Yeah...?
faint flare
Immunities are very strong and should be actively used
ripe hound
I mean like can't be killed instead of immunity
faint flare
Especially in higher end content
patent citrus
if i have lightning strike, is provoke considered obsolete?
faint flare
No
warped nest
@patent citrus no
remote lintel
provoke is used for tank swaps
faint flare
Cause you cant tank swap with Lightning

among others

ripe hound
What are some things that you can tank with Holmgang but not with Hallowed ground?
faint flare
Nothing
ripe hound
oh
faint flare
They're the same
remote lintel
theyre basically the same
jade quartz
They're all invulns
jade quartz
just with different caveats of timing and how healers have to react when it's over
ripe hound
I thought some attack can go though Hallowed?
remote lintel
rarely
ripe hound
Not anymore?
jade quartz
Raid wipes
faint flare
And the same ones go through holm
jade quartz
go through all invulns
warped nest
It is the difference between Protect and Endure in Pokémon
ripe hound
Ah
jade quartz
that's what that means.
ripe hound
That's sad
patent citrus
how about shrink? when to use this?
ripe hound
Super Sad
remote lintel
tank swap
faint flare
Tank swaps
jade quartz
That's why they all say "most attacks"
patent citrus
ok i get it
limpid lynx
any general rules of thumb about diurnal vs nocturnal sect, or is it just diurnal when other healer's a scholar, nocturnal if whm?
warped nest
Someone else provoke, and you shirk them, to give them even more enmity from the boss.
jade quartz
Diurnal almost always
ripe hound
Even Living Dead is "most attacks"...
jade quartz
unless you have a second AST
patent citrus
do I have to turn on royal guard first before executing these 2 moves?
remote lintel
diurnal is generally better
faint flare
Diurnal unless shields are REQUIRED or with another astro
limpid lynx
gotcha
warped nest
Always turn on your royal guard
faint flare
You should already have stance on prior
warped nest
!faq tankguide
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
@limpid lynx you can also nocturnal aspected bnefic the tank before a pull and then switch to diurnal real fast
faint flare
Off tanks turn their stances on aftee the opening burst
patent citrus
oh I toggle if i'm not alliance B
limpid lynx
👍
jade quartz
You don't need to have Royal Guard on to use invuln
warped nest
Not being rude, just feel like that you are super new to tanking
jade quartz
but
warped nest
So please read the tank guide
jade quartz
you should have royal guard on whenever you're tanking a target
patent citrus
if im not the main tank, i turn off enmity
jade quartz
so it's not really a consideration
faint flare
Then turn it on later after the opening burst
To guarantee second in aggro. Prepare for swaps and adds
patent citrus
ok
warped nest
Seriously, if Gunbreaker is your first tank.
jade quartz
If you need to use invuln, it's because you're taking hits from something
warped nest
Read the guide
jade quartz
so you'll have stance on
cold heart
Hiiiii can i sub with paypal?
warped nest
Yes
cold heart
I see perfect thks guys
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
also you should turn on stance after a few even if youre off tank
in case main tank dies or something terrible happens
granite swan
Any idea what i should slot into rdm res wep?
patent citrus
nice google docs guide
warped nest
Any idea what i should slot into rdm res wep?
@granite swan rdm meld priorities are
Crit > direct hit >= determination
!faq melding
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
So in your meld window, under the Materia Enhancement section at the bottom
You can inspect the current value and cap of your current stat
If you don't spot a stat there, you can meld one, and the hidden stat will be revealed
granite swan
Crit is capped, so id want to boost Direct Hit then right?
warped nest
That's right
granite swan
ok
rotund sable
Unless you need sps for a build as well
warped nest
@granite swan this is also how melding, and gear selection works in the highest level
For rdm, sps is not necessary
crimson wind
Do "you don't pay my sub" people actually exist?
jade quartz
yes
rotund sable
Yes
faint flare
Sadly
warped nest
Saying those exact word, probably not.
Having those attitudes, yes.
crimson wind
Literally never seen it, yikes
crimson wind
I've seen curebots refuse to dps before, but never anyone as toxic as that
warped nest
Somewhat Equivalent of "you don't pay my sub"
- lol, why so serious, this just a game
- a healer job (my job) is to heal, shut up
- no, I don't want to AOE
I've encountered it once or twice
@jade quartz I am sorry to hear that
granite swan
"But if i dont stand in the orange stuff, the healer will get bored" :p
vivid thorn
maybe the curebot is a new player that came from another game where medical pressure is more consistent
remote lintel
also "why dont YOU play (role) if you want me to do (thing)"
crimson wind
I'm pretty sure a lot of people in game have established that healers not dpsing isn't acceptable
vivid thorn
I usually assume curebots to be new players that came from other games with more consistent medical pressure
warped nest
While it is fun to complaint ignorant player, we should clear up
crimson wind
mate I've seen curebots in expert roulettes many times
warped nest
As this is still a question channel
jade quartz
Usually some sort of misguided class fantasy thing. To be clear, the meta of healers doing as much dps as possible also exists in games with more consistent healing pressure, like WoW.
ocean blaze
Is there a way to make the HUD click-dragable other than through the customize screen?
jade quartz
No

No

ok, cool
warped nest
Only your chat can be manipulated directly

and hotbars
warped nest
Plus other UI windows you can open/close
jade quartz
And hotbars if you have hotbar numbers turned on
vivid thorn
medical pressure is very spiky here

the only thing that might be remotely inconsistent is trash pulls
but even then
you can time and work around it easily
faint flare
The wonders of scripted fights
vivid thorn
there's definitely up and down in healing needs
remote lintel
how
late igloo
Does this game have gil sinks, like other games have gold sinks? Like fancy mounts or xmog items?
remote lintel
housing
warped nest
It may appear inconsistent for a new healer because they aren't tracking tank cooldowns
jade quartz
Housing
faint flare
Crafting, housing
remote lintel
glamour
rotund sable
It's literally all predictable unless your tank is small brain and can't use defensives adequately
jade quartz
crafting turnins are also a gil sink
and minor sinks like teleport fees and marketboard tax
faint flare
And repairs
late igloo
Well I plan on being a crafter main, loving crafting / gathering so far.
I just wanted to make sure there was something to spend the Gil on 🙂
faint flare
But housing is the biggest sink
warped nest
Buying material for Crafter is a big sink
faint flare
And just generally Lazy buying
late igloo
That's it?
remote lintel
well you need to furnish it
late igloo
10 mil for a large house?
warped nest
Buying rare materials too
remote lintel
i said dozens
faint flare
50mil
late igloo
Oh ok
late igloo
Well I made a character on Sarg, and am leveling through everything. If anyone has a guild I can join, hit me up! Thanks for the info guys!
late igloo
I'm excited!
warped nest
For now, your Gil is best used as the seed money for your crafter/Gatherer leveling
Ooooo
Buying elemental shards/crystal for crafters
marsh terrace
For custom deliveries, can i craft the item on one class and turn it in on another and get the exp on the class that i turned it on?
faint flare
Yes
As long as its the same category
Cant get gathering collectibles then turn in on crafters
late igloo
What would be something good to sell while I'm leveling / gathering in the early days? I was thinking maybe HQ of the quest turn ins?
marsh terrace
ahh okay ty
warped nest
@late igloo silver ore and effervescent water
If you are crazy enough
Elemental crystal or shards
late igloo
Crazy in the sense of 🙂
marsh terrace
Look for stuff that is used for ishgard restoration, i think cobalt ore in a lvl 50ish zone sells for a fair amount
warped nest
(so lightning shard, fire shard, fire crystal etc)
marsh terrace
can you even sell crystals?
warped nest
Yes
marsh terrace
huh never knew trhat
warped nest
Otherwise, the only way to get enough crystal to grind recipes is to grind crystal with your gatherer
marsh terrace
I thought it was that or literally just farming elementals if you had no gatherers lol
warped nest
Yup
Or...
You can use the power of gil
And make someone else suffer for the hardwork
soft flicker
so stuff like iron and copper ore will be materials i'll use basicallly forever right?
warped nest
They are used in a lot of recipes, yes
late igloo
Well my Botanist just hit level 30, and I just did the quest to get my retainer. I don't think I can farm that stuff yet. So maybe high quality gear or something?
warped nest
Take note that you can buy iron ore and copper ore from npc
So don't pay people gils for it, unless they sell it for cheaper...
Well my Botanist just hit level 30, and I just did the quest to get my retainer. I don't think I can farm that stuff yet. So maybe high quality gear or something?
@late igloo gathering items for your crafter are basic grind work
Better gear improve your efficiency that's all
late igloo
Ahhhh ok
warped nest
Obviously try to keep up and maintain your gear
Early on, you have no Gil, but you have time
So that's all you will throw at it
Spending time to grind stuff
Later on you can start to decide if spending Gil to buy things off other gatherer/crafters is worth it or not (usually no, but sometimes yes)

I really wish I could see things on other classes hunting logs without having to go in and look
so I wasn't passing all these things....
I have this exp buff, so trying to level like 4 classes at a time since there are so many quests lol
warped nest
Hunting log is pretty as optional as it can get
It is decent bonus exp to get but it is nothing compared to Road to 70
late igloo
Yeah, I rolled on Sargantanas, because it has this exp buff
unreal sierra
I think there is supposed to bea "dream card pack" in the gold saucer triple triad vendor, right? is that supposed to be unlocked somehow?
warped nest
Full completion of a class's Hunting Log will reward you with a class specific ring... It has stat but it is effectively a commemorative item
soft flicker
is there any waay for me to turn off the like, bright "flash" that happens when people near me craft?
and for myself honestly, i like the animations of crafting but then theres that really bright effect
vivid thorn
I usually stick to Eos
warped nest
If you want to turn off only that, it will be rather difficult
soft flicker
i turned off the battle settings for other people but i can't seem to find the non battle ones
warped nest
You can control how much VFX you see on
- yourself
- your party member
- others (this include alliance raid players not in your party)
quasi hawk
you could rotate the camera so your character blocks it?
granite swan
Can we upgrade Neo-Ish accessories? or do we have to buy the pre-aug'd ones?
warped nest
You can only buy/craft the neo
soft flicker
not just random people around me though? like crafting in the weavers guild for instance
warped nest
And you have trade with NPC for the augmented version yourself
granite swan
Hm, the augment one i see just requires some papers and water thingy and not the item itself?
warped nest
The paper comes from NPC breaking down the standard neo when you give one to them
granite swan
Ah
quasi hawk
you trade in the item for the papers
granite swan
Ooh i see how it works now
remote lintel
@soft flicker you cant turn those off from what ive seen
granite swan
thats so convuluted lol
warped nest
You can trade in a HQ weapons for a wholelot of paper
Then use those to trade for armor and ring
granite swan
Ah good point
warped nest
You should math out the cost so you don't waste papers though
vivid thorn
do VFX for others include boss body language?
warped nest
Pretty sure boss VFX can't be turn off

No, you cant turn those off

About how many classes do most people actually end up playing endgame? I was considering L60ing all my jobs before moving from free trial, but I've done 5 already (Bard/WHT during ARR MSQ, AST/DRK/MAC during HV MSQ) and just trying to level 1-30 on more classes is painful. I plan to try Samurai/Gunbreaker too and I doubt I'll be playing more than 7 classes later on but I'm not sure
granite swan
Level alt classes 20-50 is pretty ez and quick if you got your GC Squad goin

It depends on what you consider as "seriously"

Hi, im a beginner in this game and my highest level job is a level 35 SCH/SMN, im progressing through my main quest but im still at a level 30 main questline, as there are a lot of dungeons in this game, it is impossible for me to learn every mechanics or boss skills everytime theres a new dungeon for the the main story, so are there anyguides that works like a dungeon milestone which tells you which dungeon u have to learn the mechanism? or do i only need to learn the mechanism when reaching meta or doing the raid dungeon?
so far i have been going into the dungeon blindly as a healer without knowing the mechanism, and surviving just a bit fine copying what others do and observing them..
warped nest
If you are worried, just say "new here, any mechanics to watch out for"
Otherwise it is just copying what other does
And guesswork based on prior experience
remote lintel
you can do all story dungeons blind
faint flare
Majority of the time its "dont be in bad"...There's maybe like 1 thing to remember for some bosses
Plus if you get hit, it wont kill you
So not the end of the world
warped nest
Everything is supposed to be tutorial, don't worry about doing it perfectly for the first time
faint flare
Unless you're already missing health
warped nest
Even super high end difficulty raid are tutorials for themselves
People try to do mechanics, it all gone to south
Now they try to do it differently
sharp spire
does the exp boost have any benefit? you're going to level off of msq anyway
warped nest
It is great for leveling multiple jobs
faint flare
Keeps you ahead of the curve and levelling alt jobs
simple shore
The exp boosts lasts long enough to get every job to 70
warped nest
When you level other jobs, you don't need to do MSQ again
late igloo
I'm leveling 5 jobs right now, all in their 30s, and I could propbably do 1 or 2 more with this exp bonus. How long does it last?
warped nest
You grind dungeons and stuff for exp
pine phoenix
Idk that much about endgame (don't know what BiS/Ult/EX means) just weighing the potential regret of not leveling on Trial/Road to 70 later VS the slog of grinding now
sharp spire
how long does the exp boost last?
remote lintel
at least 3 months
simple shore
Preferred bonus lasts 3 months or until the server stops being preferred - whichever comes last
faint flare
It lasts 90days minimum or until the server loses preferred ststud
remote lintel
@pine phoenix its not the end of the world if you dont have road to 70
warped nest
Road to 70 is gone when the World is no longer Preferred and your character is 90 days old
remote lintel
you can do just fine without it
faint flare
Which won't be until 5.4

ah i see, thanks for the info, as im playing on the japanese server im a bit reluctant to speak english idk why eventho some of them are english speakers 😫
and there was this dungeon where u have to teleport into the beginning of the dungeon and i didnt know, i thought they quit on me lol, and i only realize after wasting 2 mins of their time,and i feel bad for them :(
warped nest
Done with no exp buff
sharp spire
oh so the timer is universal and doesnt depend on when you created a character on that world
simple shore
The timer starts from date of character creation
patent citrus
afaik there are only few cases where you need to learn mechanic, others are self explanatory hmm
warped nest
@dense vigil another thing you can do is to watch a guide ahead of time
remote lintel
3 months from character creation unless your world is still preferred
warped nest
If you are that concerned about making mistakes
patent citrus
let me remember, the cerberus in crystal tower you can look up guide in console wiki the (A, B, C) role thing
remote lintel
cerberus doesnt need a guide at all
sharp spire
if i know someone from a different world is it worth creating in a preferred world since i can jump to other worlds anyway?
twilit arch
that strat is dumb
remote lintel
just let other people do it
twilit arch
and should not be followed at all...
patent citrus
and then if you are a tank, probably use the tank limit break before alexander prime phase 3
twilit arch
cerberus should be all dps in stomach
warped nest
Road to 70 expires when
1 the world is no longer Preferred
and
2 your character is older than 90 days
patent citrus
I don't remember the others, diabolos probably need to know but I think it's ok
dapper oyster
can we talk about VPN here?
faint flare
Yes
warped nest
If you make a new character today, and the world you park the character in becomes not preferred tomorrow (as an example), road to 70 will be gone once your character is older than 90 days
dapper oyster
ok, do you guys have suggestion for good free vpn?
patent citrus
I'm always suggested to use mudfish
i'm guessing you are AU/NZ player who plays in JP server?
dapper oyster
because im using this windscribe and i almost depleted all the free 10 GB monthly
SEA player who plays in JP
warped nest
that strat is dumb
@twilit arch are you referring to the B Belly C Chain thingy?
twilit arch
yes
patent citrus
hmm a person who lives in SEA (mentor in novice network) also suggested the others to use mudfish
twilit arch
there is no reason to do cerberus like that at all. all dps should go into the belly, because the quicker it dies, the quicker the phase ends
tanks and healers can deal with outside adds just fine
patent citrus
I think he lives in ID? she can supress the ping to 90ish
dapper oyster
is it free? the mudfish?
patent citrus
no, it's not but it's very cheap
dapper oyster
sounds great
patent citrus
i think like $15 a year or something? as long as you don't use it to patch
dapper oyster
wow thats very cheap indeed
sharp spire
SEA player who plays in JP
@dapper oyster what country? don't sea people have good ping in jp?
patent citrus
yeah i thought that too
patent citrus
but in some country, they hop their connection to US first
in SEA
that's why they got higher ping, that's what they told me
dapper oyster
if you are in SG which has one of the fastest internet in the universe then you might wont have to use it
other than that... well
spare plinth
and more time?
warped nest
No
twilit arch
if you want to pay for more months at a time, you'll have to use standard
warped nest
/\
twilit arch
but generally, unless you know you're gonna be playing most of the days for those 3/6 mos, its not worth it
warped nest
!faq subprice
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
And 6 months standard will bring down the avg to Entry
So it still comes down to "not worth it unless you play a lot of character"
tulip plover
So near ralgyr reach the two areas some of the aether currents i cant get to is this unlocked later?
jade quartz
Both of those zones have half of their maps locked until way later in the MSQ.
tulip plover
Ok making sure

So I just finished ARR (Raubhan is glorious btw) and was so immersed in the last chapters i kinda forgot to do some quests, specifically Hildebrand (I know, heresy). Is it possible to do those quests after progressing through heavensward or are they lost?
quasi hawk
they're still there
patent citrus
hmm i haven't got time to do them either
i'm in the middle of stormblood atm
still not gone
warped nest
There are no missable
azure frost
Good to know, my heart kinda skipped a beat once I realised the story implications
quasi hawk
the only quests that you can 'miss' are seasonal stuff and they're nothing major
remote lintel
you can't miss content
warped nest
This doesn't have "I didn't do this quest, so that NPC didn't marry the girl and their kid will not exist to give me a quest to get the meta weapon" design
remote lintel
thats oddly specific but yes
azure frost
I assumed not but you never know. In any case, I'm relieved
warped nest
You good, don't worry
lone spruce
So my friend's in Crystal and I'm in Aether, is there a way for him to switch?
warped nest
Pay for World transfer
remote lintel
by paying
late igloo
I want to be a DoH main all the way! Any idea which I should level up first, and any good references from some top tier crafters?
warped nest
Or make a new character
warped nest
@late igloo the recommendation is do them all
remote lintel
@late igloo all of them at once
warped nest
For more info
late igloo
Alrighty then!
warped nest
Check the pin in #doh-dol-lounge
late igloo
Thanks a ton!
thin kestrel
if my friend already has an account, can he activate the 60 day free trial?
he's like 30
thin kestrel
he bought the game
glad comet
then no.
proud willow
If it's still on the free trial, he can go to 60 now. If he bought the game, the trial has ended

How does fishing collectables work? Doing it for the first time, and I have collector's glove on, but im not fishing anything that's a collectable. And the one thing I want to fish isn't a collectable.
twilit arch
basically, if you catch a fish with collector's glove on that can be caught as a collectable, you'll receive a prompt if you want to dos o
otherwise, its fishing as normal
warped nest
It only becomes collectible if the fish can be
You cannot force any random fish to be one
glad comet
I'm doing the Crystarium deliveries
and that fish i want to be a collectable
doesn't become a collectable
unreal sierra
if I get an achievement for beating 30 NPCs in Triple Triad, where do i go to claim the card? it isn't at jonathas
warped nest
You are absolutely sure that it is the correct fish?
glad comet
eighteyes eel
is the first one
but none of them became a collectable
even with the glove on
faint flare
Use patience, you're probably catching ones that would be too low to submit
twilit arch
eighteyes eels are not collectables
quasi hawk
I'm like 90% sure TT achivement cards are automatically added to your collection
faint flare
Crystarium are just HQ
warped nest
Btw if something is too low of a rating
It will still become a collectible if you choose to
Just a useless one
dreamy flume
Should I always be running snagging when fishing?

Where is the guide to sam i have no idea what none of this stuff means

@tulip plover what are you confused about
calm phoenix
Is the marketboard down? No matter what I type in, it always says "no matching items" and I KNOW that is BS!!
tulip plover
Like the rotation its like this class has 10 different rotations x.x
@remote lintel
jade quartz
@calm phoenix ensure you have the "partial match" box checked beside the search bar
remote lintel
@tulip plover no, there's 3 combos that you use to gain the 3 seals
calm phoenix
Made no difference 😦
jade quartz
what are you searching?
remote lintel
you have a moon combo, flower combo, and ice combo
once you get 3 seals you use midare setsugekka
to put it very simply
tulip plover
Ah ok so its like a scratchoff get three in a row and big damage?
calm phoenix
I am trying to find the the orchestra roll for "Faith in her fury" and typing the name or part of it always says "no matching items"
twilit arch
that's because there is no orchestrion for that
jade quartz
No such item
remote lintel
@tulip plover you first get 1 seal and use higanbana because thats your dot
then get 3 seals and use midare
calm phoenix
I was told that all music in the game has a roll
glad comet
not all
jade quartz
Nope
twilit arch
No, not all songs have an orchestrion
jade quartz
And even then some that do exist are untradeable
wanton shadow
anyone got a ROUGH estimate of how much a neo ishguardian set costs to buy?
calm phoenix
That song is ARR, why are they lazy and not giving us it?
drowsy grove
Hi guys, i'm an arcanist trying to switch to thaumaturge but the MSQ brought me to Gridania, is there a way for me to just go straight to Uldah so i can switch first before continuing MSQ?
wanton shadow
whats the latest msq you did
faint flare
You go to uldah next
whole wasp
you unlock the airships at lvl 15 MSQ. this lets you zoom between cities
else you gotta hike
nova umbra
so with accursed hoards in PotD, is it possible for every trap spawn to also be a hoard spawn?
wanton shadow
you unlock traveling between the cities at around 15
whole wasp
past all the lvl 50 montsers
nova umbra
I've seen multiple cases where there was a hoard underneath a trap, but not sure if it's always possible
drowsy grove
The MSQ i'm on now is called The Lominsan Envoy i just entered via airship from the sea side town
faint flare
Keep going
You go to uldah next
After giving the things over
Its literally the same quest
drowsy grove
oh awesome
faint flare
Remember to attune and everything
drowsy grove
Thought i had to go through another set of questlines before leaving
attune like to the blue crystals?
jade quartz
Always
faint flare
So you can teleport
whole wasp
yup, then you can use the teleport function to zoom between cities
faint flare
First Thing you should do whem hitting a new zone
lilac flume
as a tank levelling through 60s would hoh or highest dungeon generally be quicker/better xp?
jade quartz
Dungeon
faint flare
Dungeons
lilac flume
👌
tulip plover
Ok i think i understand now, but is iajustsu only worth using when you have all 3 seals?
lilac flume
somewhat related, but for duty roulette adventurer in need, does it get updated automatically or do you have to "refresh" it by reopening it
jade quartz
different at different numbers of seals
tulip plover
:0
jade quartz
1 seal = Higanbana, which is your highest-potency action
faint flare
Your dot deals morw damage than 3 sens
tulip plover
brain explosion
jade quartz
a DoT that lasts for 60 seconds
always keep it up on boss.
2-sen move, Tenka Goken, is used for AoE
3-sen move, Midare Setsugekka, is used when you don't have to reapply the DoT.
remote lintel
the iaijutsu changes based on how many seals you have
tulip plover
God ima have to do research
remote lintel
@lilac flume you have to refresh ime
faint flare
Iajutsus also dont break your combo
faint flare
So you do your Speed combo, then put your damage buff up before applying your dot
Before finishing the combo to get another seal
While applying a fully buffed dot
tulip plover
Ok sooooo 1 seal dot 2 aoe 3 big dik damage?
faint flare
Yes
whole wasp
basicallu
tulip plover
Ok
whole wasp
http://bit.ly/SAM-Guide anyway, heres the SAM guide. have fun~
remote lintel
just do flower combo first
then apply dot with higanbana
then do the rest of the combos and use midare
faint flare
Prettt much
whole wasp
yup, thats a nice visual guide
remote lintel
theres also a lvl 80 sam rotation command here
you can basically follow it but without the stuff you dont have yet
tulip plover
Wait does sam have positionals?
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
later
jade quartz
yes
faint flare
At 52
tulip plover
Boooo
jade quartz
not that much later.
remote lintel
moon is butt flower is flank
faint flare
Its what makes melees melee

And meikyo is for when you just need a quick seal?
sharp spire
uh is this for good? how long does this usually last? trying to make one in typhon because the onyl person i know playing the game is over there
remote lintel
no its temporary
glad comet
typhon is probably full of people
remote lintel
!faq serverlock
zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
Meikyo is used on cooldown
glad comet
join when its not peak hour
whole wasp
you press it as often as you can
faint flare
Or tenka in aoe
sharp spire
oh so it's based on how many are currently online?
remote lintel
yes
whole wasp
yup
sharp spire
oh cool
glad comet
so as a suggestion
whole wasp
unless the server is listed as congested then its just closed all the time but currently no servers are listed as congested
glad comet
make a character, when its not peak playing time
azure frost
When do the WAR quests that net you your level 54 - 60 skills become available?
jade quartz
Once you're in Heavensward MSQ
whole wasp
after you reach Heavensward in your 
and being lvl 54
jade quartz
i.e. once you've completed the quest "Before the Fall"
azure frost
Kk ty , where is the quest giver?
jade quartz

Ah alright

If you've already done the first one in the series of HW quests, the next ones will be from Broken Mountain in Camp Bronze Lake.

With people using notes straight up from the hotbat

What are some useful BLU spells i can get early on in the leveling process
sly vessel
is egi managemenet crucial for summoner rotation
remote lintel
yes
crimson wind
very much yes

is the ranged dps tax real
willow breach
hi, is there a gathering/crafting guide that i can use? or is it basically hitting nodes to level up, take the new quest and repeat?
deft quiver
does trade mentor unlock anything?
sharp spire
saw a video explaining how ranged dps has lower dps than melee
to balance out being able to play safer than dps
deft quiver
yes
because theres no "tax" on ranged dps
click buttons and move
melee have positionals
casters have cast times
sharp spire
but they're still welcome to parties righ
deft quiver
yes
remote lintel
i think trade mentors can use novice network
deft quiver
dancer and bard have really nice buffs
marble drift
They can Cerb
deft quiver
and machinist still has good damage
sharp spire
are they ranged dps essential or just fillers
glad comet
essential
deft quiver
ye
marble drift
Im like. 40 commends off a battle-mentor crown but I've done enough crafts for the trade mentor one
glad comet
i mean, every class is essential
remote lintel
^
deft quiver
essential for the extra 2% group buff, and party buffs
sharp spire
i want to go paladin and bard. any advantage if i take one before the other
sharp spire
you'd be leveling the first one with msq and the rest of the jobs with dungeons?
remote lintel
among other things yes
stable lance
with the new ishgard restoration patch will that introduce the skysteel weapon augments?
sharp spire
so it's better to take bard first because paladin has lower queue time?
remote lintel
just pick whichever you like more
little swift
jobs don't inherently do better if you level them in a specific order
silent sinew
hi
sharp spire
yeah im more concerend about the convenience
little swift
but you might want to consider as a result of having longer queues, it may be better to level your DPS via MSQ and do a tank with dungeon spam
