gusty pasture
seriously? Alright gonna try that 😄
twilit arch
yeah reset lets you choose one of the things you've already completed to redo it
gusty pasture
Thanks so much. I just want that 1 mil exp to get my drg to 60
trail mulch
just a question, is the cactus mount a limited time thing
twilit arch
nope
trail mulch
nice i dont have to grind as quick as i thought then thankss
untold sand
um why do i have a popup under play telling me to hire more retainers?
twilit arch
because its SE advertising one of its mogstation services
untold sand
is it worth besides the inventory?
split nebula
you can send retainers out to collect items as well
untold sand
wait i thought it was sell items only?
twilit arch
no
split nebula
no, i dont remember when it unlocks. it's old though
untold sand
btw when can i access the squadron system?
split nebula
you use Ventures as the currency to send them
twilit arch
you can do the quest "an ill-conceived venture" to unlock the ability to give them a class and send them out on fventures
its lvl 17 quest
squadrons require you to be 2nd LT in your grand company to unlock
and lvl 47
untold sand
is there no unaccepted quest tab`? cuz kinda annoying to pop back and fourth to search for quests
twilit arch
nope
untold sand
u said the increased retainers is a service on mogstation yet i really dont see it
isnt it the final fantasy shop?
twilit arch
you can buy a premium version of it
both of these are subs
by both i mean retainer services and the premium companion app
untold sand
tbh i would gladly freaking pay up front for retainers that add a lil bit more to sub
imo
or is that not permanent either?
when it says 1-2 number of retainers is no fee, does that mean beside the 2 u get in game?
or just those 2
twilit arch
The 2 you get in game
untold sand
ok
im just sayin this sorry if i ask a lot im kinda new to the whole sub based games
and idk what to feel bout paying 1.40 per retainer per month
ye fine if its my main game but still
twilit arch
then don't pay for it
zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
you don't need more than 2 retainers
untold sand
oh thats a lot better
lol
last question bout the retainers do i need to personally have unlocked the class to give them the class?
twilit arch
yes, because they can only go as high as you currently are in that class
combat retainers have the same hunt ventures, so doesn't particularly matter which combat class you give them
twilit arch
gatherer retainers can gather pretty much any item thats in the gathering log for that class, provided you have gathered that item atleast once yourself
the class itself doesn't affect anything, for combat retainers, beyond what gear they can equip
slim jackal
Is it better to extract my old weapons and armor for materia or sell them?
untold sand
i asume i dont need to rehire the retainers once i level?
twilit arch
no harm in extracting materia from your old gear, assuming its max spiritbond, and then selling/desynthing/turning in for gc seals
no, don't have to rehire your retainers
untold sand
does it cost to change their class?
twilit arch
Nothing but time, since you'll have to relevel them
slim jackal
Thank you @twilit arch
leaden ginkgo
hi im worried about the shadowbringers dlc

frail sapphire
What's the value in leveling your retainers?
glossy flare
they bring back better stuff from ventures
frail sapphire
the stuff they bring back, is that for crafting purposes?
or can you sell it straight?
glossy flare
mostly, yes
faint flare
For regular ventures yes
glossy flare
I mean you can still sell it
faint flare
They get you crafting mats
untold sand
is there an apartment ward in limsa lominsa?
faint flare
Other ventures get you other stuff
frail sapphire
if i level all my crafting would that replace leveling my retainers?
*crafting classes
glossy flare
no
frail sapphire
oh id still need to level them huh
glossy flare
I mean... you don't need to do either
twilit arch
retainers are basically convenience for the most part
glossy flare
retainers are just a nice passive way to get stuff instead of getting it yourself
twilit arch
like i can send them out to go gather certain materials while i do other things
and when i decide to sit down and craft, i have a nice stockpile of stuff waiting for me
faint flare
Free, passive mat generation
twilit arch
or you can send then out on quick ventures and hope to get lucky and get rare stuff
No
untold sand
is there a point when i get allowed mounts in cities? kinda get annoying running everywhere
twilit arch
just use old gear
twilit arch
neither combat nor gathering retainers need that much in the way of gear
faint flare
You got the aethernet shards for quick city travel
glossy flare
Plus you'll make way more money with all the crafting you'll do anyway
think of it as an investment
frail sapphire
i need to maintain the ilvl to do the ventures for my retainer tho
faint flare
You just give them hand me downs
frail sapphire
and i dont have any old gear anymore
my hand me downs were used for expert delivery 😦
faint flare
Or tome gear
frail sapphire
im looking at the vendor gear and they're hurting my wallettt
faint flare
Tome/scrip/dungeons
faint flare
Dungeons give you 1 guaranteed piece per run
frail sapphire
pro tip actually
glossy flare
and you can level another job too while you do all these leveling dungeons
in fact I'm leveling my GNB right now that way 😄
green raft
at 80 you can just use the free job gear with some hand-me-down accessories or dungeon drops. its easy and you get a slightly higher chance of "rare drops" whatever that may be lol
for gathering retainers only the gathering stat matters
glossy flare
hey, sometimes they bring back precious jet black dye
frail sapphire
i see good point
glossy flare
that shit's like gold
green raft
and i think the professional white scrip gear gives enough
for rare drops from gathering retainer
lol true but i end up using it all
im one of the reasons why jet black dye is like gold. i need it
frail sapphire
@faint flare Sorry i think you may have answered this but.. for directional skills. for me to meet the positional requirement i need to be in position at the moment i press/cast the skill?
gusty pasture
which is mor important for khloe book, MGP or bronze?
twilit arch
bronze cert you can exchange for some minions or materia clusters
so entirely up to you
neither are particularly more "important"
the mgp card would help reduce how much mgp you'd need to grind if you have something in particular you want from the gold saucer
gusty pasture
is the regalia mount in the gold saucer?
twilit arch
its only available during the 15 cross over event
which will be rerunning, but we don't know exactly when
wintry chasm
Sounded like they want to fit it in this year anyway
gusty pasture
ahh alright I'll start saving
untold sand
iiiiif i give my retainer gear will i visibly be able to see it on it?
wintry chasm
Yes
frail sapphire
For directional skills. for me to meet the positional requirement i need to be in position at the moment i press/cast the skill or can i just be in the right position whenever during the skill cast?
wintry chasm
When you press
untold sand
oh ffs what was the evil boi from shadowbringers called?
frail sapphire
If i pressed the positional skill first then did true north, will i still meet the positional requirement?
wintry chasm
||Emet?|| @untold sand

@frail sapphire No
leaden ginkgo
so im lvl 57 close to 58, is there an xp boost item i can acquire at this point?

for upcoming levels then
wintry chasm
Other than that no
leaden ginkgo
oh ok
mossy trellis
Anyone know where to get erudite picatrix for relic weapon quest lvl 50 for non subs ~ ?
wintry chasm
Really the only helpful XP boosting items is the rad new ring for level 30 and below and the RaF circlet which is level 25 and below. Nothing you can get currently for 30+ outside of generic boosts
twilit arch
your only real options are to either craft it yourself or ask someone to do so @mossy trellis
wintry chasm
Can't make someone else make it
Free trial doesn't allow trading
So make it yourself
mossy trellis
i see, so its a dead end. thanks for the answer

copper marsh
Can anyone that knows more about crafting helped me out? I just got 3 crafters to 80 with their white scrip gear but the gear isn’t good enough to do expert crafts or craft the new 490 gear. Am I gonna have to craft some 460 facet gear and overmeld it a bit to be able to craft it?
untold sand
geezus u need to be that high level in ur grand company to get squadrons?
its third last rank o.o
marble drift
you could skip that and get someone to craft the 490 gear for you
it'll be cheap if you supply materials
untold sand
any marauder/warrior mains with macro suggestions?
marble drift
don't?
macros are very sloppy in this game compared to others
they can't be queued up like regular skills
slim jackal
Is 5% the max you can get from your free company for exp? Just wondering
marble drift
The furthest you should probably macro is somelike like a shirk macro for raiding. To tell your offtank know you shirk'd them
warped nest
@slim jackal does it say heat of battle
untold sand
5% doesnt reaaaaly sound like much
warped nest
Or heat of battle II?
mossy trellis
how is difficulty of labyrinth of the ancient ? is that easy now , or need commitment ( minimum ironworks gear, maybe) ?
slim jackal
Heat of battle
faint flare
Very easy
marble drift
All alliance raids are very easy
faint flare
All crystal tower is face rolly
marble drift
they're meant to be done by anyone and everyone
faint flare
24mand are casual as hell
mossy trellis
i see, thx for the answer
warped nest
Ok, the max is Heat of Battle II, which is a 10 percent buff, Jokius
slim jackal
@warped nest Ah ok. Thanks man
faint flare
Actually its heat of battle 3 which is 15% but not too many do 3s
faint flare
There's a 3 for all FC buffs
warped nest
Wait
faint flare
Bit more expensive
warped nest
Do the III comes from a furniture
faint flare
Grade 3 wheels
warped nest
Ahhh yeah

- the squadron manuals are personal FC3 buffs for yourself

What does "anon" stand for? in cutscenes they use it in place of ASAP

i mean, i get what they mean
but what is "anon" short for, like how ASAP is "as soon as possible"
faint flare
Its old speak for Soon

hey i am stuck trying to unlock diadem, i have a level 56 gatherer, and completed shb. the NPC near the airship in coerthas is not available to recieve quests. no red exclamation marks. what am i doing wrong?\
marble drift
ah you're looking at outdated info
the diadem is part of the ishgard restoration project
you may have done some of that already
If you haven't there will be a quest in Ishgard to unlock it.
frank wigeon
OHHHHHHHHHH
i just went to the firmament and took a left
he is there
thank you kind person ❤️
marble drift
yeah no problem. you were in the right spot for OLD diadem probably
but. it got updated
midnight slate
I thought anon was short for anonymous

Not in old speak
tidal yarrow
what does "braindead" mean on e7s pf?
faint flare
Its for color portals after adds
trail mulch
is there anyway to unlock camera from character to make better more desktop like screenshots?
this is gorg but i really would like my character not to be there
faint flare
Everyone goes to the North east corner and dps stack while tank/healer stack in their own row
tidal yarrow
oh gotcha
faint flare
If the north west portal is blue, you literally just stay there the whole mechanic
If its red. You swap every charge
tidal yarrow
i see
faint flare
After first charge, move 1 tile to the right to drop baited aoes
tidal yarrow
i'm not to e7s yet tho)) :p
faint flare
Its literally the easiest mechanic
marble drift
hence braindead
tidal yarrow
i died for the 9th time on e6s enrage in the past 24h

You would think doing colour changes with 3 portal sets would be hard
But nah, easier

midnight slate
Let’s say i wanted to do Coils of Bahamut and Alexander with my 3 free trial friends unsynched. Would I still need to get 4 other level 50-60 people or can my lvl 80 compensate for the lack of people there are
little swift
It's about 40 minutes total if your dps isn't bad
little swift
Alexander requires them to be 60
And for them to survive mechanics they don't know too well in coils it would be nice to be 60 as well @midnight slate
You load as the 80 would be more on fights like nael
Since you at least need to react to meteor placement and tethers in p2
midnight slate
So just sync down for everything except for nael?
little swift
If you sync down you're gonna need more than 3 friends
midnight slate
Cause idk how populated COB and Alexander are in the duty finder so I was just gonna hop in unsynced
faint flare
Cob isn't
little swift
Cool isnt on roulette
faint flare
Alex normal is
little swift
Alex normal will be fine to queue for
midnight slate

I can only buy 1 specific ring using poetics, so for the 2nd ring is it better to buy same ilvl but different main stat or go 1 tier lower for the same main stat?

granite swan
Wonder why theres no armor that auto levels / changes it stats by class for you like the Aetheryte Earring
faint flare
Because the aetheryte earrings were the first of their kind and they ended up not liking it as it basically elimates all earrings 70 and under
So they wont do it

How can my allowances on journal increase? Ran out while spamming levequests.
granite swan
i think it refreshes daily, up to a cap of 100
green grail
3 allowances every 12 hours
white tapir
is there any savings if you get the online complete vs starter edition? Or if I buy starter i would still need to pay same amount for expansions*
granite swan
if you bought starter, you'd still have to buy shadowbringer
white tapir
so it saves me 20 bucks
twilit arch
complete edition comes out to the same cost as starter + expansion
so unless you can find one or the other on sale, it doesn't really matter in the end
white tapir
o so is a shadowbringer upgrade just 40?
faint flare
Yes
twilit arch
yes, expansion is 40$
white tapir
it just didnt make sense to me to buy xpac since id need to get to 50 first
white tapir
ah
faint flare
So starter edition cap is 60
Or just do it on trial as the trial access the same things as starter
white tapir
id prolly just get to 50 when i can get the new classes n buy it then
faint flare
Just with limitations
white tapir
right
granite swan
do the beast tribe quests xp scale alot per level or is it minor increase?
thorn mantle
are there no class quests in shadowbringers?
white tapir
o ok
twilit arch
there's a job quest at lvl 80, but thats basically like a wrap up quest. the Role quests, which you're introduced to early on in shadowbringers, effectively replace job quests for 70-80
granite swan
Some classes have a minor lv 80 quest, but i think the main focus was the Role Quests for Shb
thorn mantle
Alright, thanks
tidal yarrow
"mist" is an housing area?
faint flare

soft sleet
what does retainer gear actually do?
strange coral
Increases their stats. Gatherers want gathering stat. Combat retainers want ilvl iirc.
soft sleet
i get that it increases their stats ha
I'm just wondering what the implications of that is
more rewards? xp?
main plank
They can do harder ventures
twilit arch
you need to hit certain ilvl/gathering requirements if you want to do higher ventures
soft sleet
gotcha
twilit arch
for quick ventures, its gives them a better chance of getting rare items

Is it worth going to the diadem today due to 5.31 tomorrow?
sterile ore
hello, so i just started doign tribe quest (beast and pixies), i see first reputation need 510 to get to the next tier, does anyone know how many relations i need each tier?\

The mats for ishgard restoration should change tomorrow so you cant really stock mats
shut kelp
im curious, what do they need to do to the servers, while they are offline, that cannot be done while the game is live? not sure if this is the right area to be asking.
faint flare
Add the files for the new stuff
shut kelp
huh, but for the rising event. they didnt need to do that
twilit arch
the rising event files were already in the game
faint flare
Because they added that in the patch
twilit arch
when the event started
faint flare
And they just toggle it
shut kelp
ahhh
twilit arch
holiday events are always added before they are going to happen
faint flare
Thus why we know the rewards early cause data mining
split jay
Do I need to keep all of my dyes
I’ve got like 3/4 of an inventory page just for dyes rn
faint flare
If you want to use them
twilit arch
if it has "Shop Selling Price: X" on the tooltip, it means you can buy from a vendor
So can safely sell those if you want
granite swan
Do the non pixies in shb give job xp or is it strictly doh/dol xp from them?
sterile ore
so its 510 then 720, when i hit 720, do i start from 0 or start from 510?
shut kelp
is there a website for viewing all weapons?

strictly doh/dol

yeah but it doesnt make it so easy that you just breeze through them
it just helps with the dps check
frosty stump
I just beat a realm reborn, and I was wondering if there are some other quests or things I should do first before going through the 100 msq that I need to unlock heavensword?
vivid thorn
class quests, get started on the Crystal Tower quests
frosty stump
already finished class going through the story, and what are crystal tower quests?
twilit arch
Also pick up the quest "A Recurring Problem" from Minfilia and do the quests from thancred/papalymo/y'shtola

Legacy of Allag quest line
twilit arch
as you'll need titan hard completed as well to do msq

already beat the 3 hard primals
leaden ginkgo
Here's what I did during the post ARR quests: Crystal tower, queued for hard dungeons, got ironworks gear, leveled up a new job and queued for dungeons during MSQ
frosty stump
ok, where do I unlock it?
leaden ginkgo
ironworks gear is optional but they look cool and will still be good for like half of HS
remote lintel
its highly recommended you get ironworks
frosty stump
how am I supposed to farm them, it looks like itll take forever since its like an hourish per dungeon that gives you the currency to buy it?
twilit arch
you don't need to go out of your way to farm for a full set of ironworks
twilit arch
just do your msq and pick up whatever you can when you've got the poetics to do so
leaden ginkgo
i asked about ironworks a while back and was told I didn't have too, but there's little reason not too with how much poetics you get
twilit arch
MSQ will give you gear that's more than enough
soft sleet
also when you queue for stuff with new people/you are new you get a load
twilit arch
yes, you do get a fair bit of poetics over the course of just doing msq
but its not something you should be going out of your way to farm for, is mainly what i'm saying
ironworks is nice and all, but not a must have
frosty stump
ok, thx for the help, ill start the crystal tower thing and then do some msq for ironworks stuff
leaden ginkgo
I got a full left side, and most of the right side easily just by doing the MSQ, crystal tower, and hard dungeons
frosty stump
also, any reccomendations for the weapon I should use now, im a monk
frosty stump
ok, thx for the help everyone
leaden ginkgo
hard dungeons in ARR are worth checking out imo, you unlock a ton in mor dhona, and in some other places, they are generally more interesting than the original dungeons and you can queue for them during MSQ
frosty stump
ok
soft sleet
And it improves/opens the 50/60/70 queue

they would still be harder than their normal versions

Stupid question, would it be against TOS to play on two accounts ? for example let's say i created, and own those two accounts, therefor pay for the two subs, would it be an issue ?

The first ones obviously. Susanoo and lakshami
Since they were made with lower ilvl in mind

no, nothing against ToS in that regard since you own both accounts.

you're paying for both legitimately

What should I do with my old gear? Should I just vendor it or is there some other system of breaking it apart?

manic flare
at what point does the rank-up mission for your squadron to go from rank 2 to rank 3 appear?
one of my squad recruits already reached level 40
twilit arch
if you have crafters level, you can desynth it to break it down for materials. Or if its green quality or higher, can turn in for grand company seals if you're sergeant second class or higher rank @viscid imp
viscid imp
ok thanks
vivid thorn
as for the rank-up mission you need to do 5 command missions (repeating the same mission only counts once)
twilit arch
no
Crystal Recovery should appear once a member of your squadron has reached lvl 40
Sapper Strike, which is for captain, requires 5 different command missions
hybrid bramble
Since I can't put eternity ring in glamour dresser, will it be a problem if I equip it for battles?

To anyone who plays on Light datacenter and visit markets from other servers, what servers should i focus on to get some good deals?

the only real gil sink in the game is player housing. you dont really need alot of gil if you dont intend to get housing
just spend it on food. splurge on teleportation i gues

Does anyone know when you can obtain Cloud Mallow Seeds for the mount? I know the NPC is in a few quests but I’ve not seen a single one pop up & I’ve been doing all the quests so far. :~(

its a crafting beast tribe
grand forge
Hmm okie thank u!!
remote lintel
it takes 40 days to unlock the mount

its a beast tribe yes
you need to unlock it

I have a friend that is trying to skip ahead in the story of FFXIV. However, the store is not allowing him to buy anything for his new character. Do you have to progress past a certain point, or wait for a certain amount of time?
And yes he does have the full game
whole wasp
Is he on the first free 30 days?
slim jackal
Oh. You have to wait after that first free 30 day’s to buy something ?!?
whole wasp
Not sure if it matters. I know you cant buy subs in the first free 30 days. Might apply to optionals too.

Tell them it's not as bad as people make it out to be and do the story, and now it's like 1/3 faster than before.
Unless it's an alt on another server, then it's fair to pay the skip.

Do certain sightseeing logs get disabled in cities during events? #14 has a pillar in front of the post which is normally not there which you can walk through but the log is not confirming.
raven sage
Are all conditions being met otherwise?
left moth
weather notably https://tylian.net/sslog/
latent bloom
Yes. Tried all emotes and did the location twice. Im thinking it's the Rising event and somehow there are requirements that need to be met outside the normal weather, direction of your model and such
Such as being able to see it

how come there's such a disparity between the sub's position on healers doing damage and what you get ingame?
when I see a healer literally just standing at the edge of the arena doing nothing and call that out,
I'm immediately shit on for "not having fun in my life"
raven sage
Because the subreddit isn't the entire community?

yeah but I only get that response, like, not even once have I been met with anything but flame

Is there a place where I can spend my phantasmagoria and allegory during Stormblood?

Ouch, maybe I should not have leveled to 80 so fast.

omfg... I was looking at hge wrong log!

Fates/beast tribe mostly

@soft sleet I'd avoid leves, if you get transported you immediately fail the leve,
fates should be fine, you're just going to miss out on the reward if you get transported before it finishes

Oh and hunting log i guess if you havent finished it.

if im playing on the free trial i can i access the stormblood classes?

oh well thats fine i get 5min queue time on 41-50

Sprites are monsters that spawn under certain weather conditions
Elementals are spawns that provide an exp buff as well as a regen and attack buff for an hour when you stand on them
elder sinew
What would their names be for example?

is the start ar 50 exclusive to the 50 floor

Yeah the weather, locations and levels of the sprite

Did you turn in the last quest lionhart?
And the next custom delivery person is M'Naago

Why do I have to wait "20 minutes" if the trials roulette says "DPS in need". It DOES NOT do that when my brother-in-law queues for something that is DPS in need. It is always instant for him. Why is it different for me?
lusty wharf
What do u mean by last quest?
quasi widget
there might be a dps in need for a trial you dont have
calm phoenix
then it should NOT say that at my end
wispy parcel
Even if theres a DPS in need bonus that doesnt mean mean the queue will be fast
especially since you need 4 DPS per trial
raven sage
Sometimes people don't actually turn in the quest "The City of Lost Angels" they just run the raid
lusty wharf
Yeah there all ticked and there's no blue quest marker any where in kugane
raven sage
What do you mean they're all ticked?
lusty wharf
When I check my trial page all three raban raids have the green tick and if I have not handed the quest in who do I hand it into?

then it should NOT say that at my end
@calm phoenix you'll get the bonus regardless of what trial you actually get
granite swan
@lusty wharf check the cat girl up by the guard who takes you to the ship
zinc orbitBOT
calm phoenix
I feel that there was not actually a DPS in need if I am waiting list number 49. Obviously the game had some false information
faint flare
A role in need doesn't mean a short que
faint flare
Especially when other people see it they'll que up
wispy parcel
you need 4 DPS per trial, so theres always a lot of DPS queueing
DPS in need means less than usual
strange coral
The adventure in need bonus updates every few minutes, not in real time. The spots were likely filled by the time you hit the queue button.
void willow
are any of the dps classes like kinda tanky? I know its a stupid question because theyre supposed to deal damage and not tank but the closest I think ive gotten to is monk? or are all the dps not tanky and just tanks are because I want to do damage but not die fast
faint flare
No
wispy parcel
All DPS will get rekt if they get hit by a tank buster
faint flare
Melee dps have Bloodbath and Second wind for health
wispy parcel
none of them are tanky

The game DID have false information. Now all of a sudden it says "healer in need" 😠

Now no bonus 😦

@calm phoenix its not updated in real time

None of the jobs in this game are like WoW

There's no specs

Is there something wrong? It went down to waiting list number 1 super quickly but has been number 1 for five straight minutes
faint flare
No, just other people queing and ques getting popped
lusty wharf
Thats what it looks like for me
faint flare
Plus with trials needing 4 dps you'll drop down 4 spots each timr
calm phoenix
If they queue after me, why do they have priority over me?
calm phoenix
No. Then I would NOT be number 1
granite swan
maybe it pulled from a dungeon/trial you dont have yet?
raven sage
@lusty wharf And you haven't started the questline for the relic at all?
strange coral
Moltres, lots of people are queueing for dungeons. There are numerous variables to consider while the system shuffles people around the best that it can while keeping the queue. Don't worry about the numbers too much and just wait. Find something to do to pass the time.
granite swan
@lusty wharf Actually, i dont think Resistance Weps are blue quest, i think its a side quest marker lol
raven sage
No it's blue

It is

You sure? I dont remember Hail to the Queen being blue

@lusty wharf Well the only 2 reasons I can think of for it not showing up are, you didn't turn in the quest "Shadowbringers" which I trust you did or there's something bugged. How long has it not been showing up for you?
You can run an alliance raid unsynced
You just need certain amounts of people

I'm currently looking to move servers and find a free company or people in general to play with as i move through MSQ (currently in Storm Blood). I know about r/FFXIVRECRUITMENT/ but it seems to be server specific. Does anyone have any advice about how to advertise myself?
calm phoenix
The game is really messed up right now! 😦 I rolled a 95 on loot yet someone who rolled a 63 obtained it and I got NOTHING 😠
leaden ginkgo
they must have rolled need
calm phoenix
I was told that need and greed were separate and two of everything goes out. One for need and one for greed
open coral
No
open coral
Whoever told you that was either mistaken or trolling
calm phoenix
The person who told me that is very honest and does not troll
open coral
Then they were mistaken
calm phoenix
Does need always override greed or is there a formula or something?
open coral
Need always overrides greed
And then the highest roll of all Needs wins
If nobody rolls need, then the highest greed roll wins
calm phoenix
Why isn't "need" an option sometimes?
granite swan
Because you cant use it
quasi widget
you can only need if you can equip it
leaden ginkgo
its only if its your class currently equipped
open coral
If your current job can’t equip the item

when first starting out the only healer option you have is Conjurer, which becomes White Mage

Healers do very very respectable damage

If I rarely have to use "Lucid Dreaming" does that typically mean that I am managing my MP really well or should I push further? I usually have a 2 in the party box by my icon, sometimes the A if the tank is not pulling his weight.

Lucid Dreaming is a maintenance spell. There’s no optimal use of it. You use it when you need MP

General suggested usage is at about 7k mp

You either have absurd piety Regen or your tank isn't really pulling hard enough to warrant using it

4k is sorta pushing it in case things go wrong you have no cushion
