[bright monolith]

Is it the same times everyday?

[warped nest]

No

[whole wasp]

Idk

[warped nest]

Think of it as a very slow radar

[bright monolith]

[warped nest]

445 which sounds rather low
@brazen dawn when Eden verse was fresh, the best gear people can get on day 1 are i480 crafted dow/m

[brazen dawn]

Ohh interesting

[gusty pasture]

is rested exp shared across all jobs or do al ljobs have their own?

[warped nest]

Shared

Take note that low level job burn through rested exp faster

[deft quiver]

Is the allegory weekly limit only going to be removed once the next tomestone gear drops?

[warped nest]

Yeah

[deft quiver]

aight

[warped nest]

We have one more capped tomestone (let's call it twilight, because I want to be a prophet just in case I got it right) for Shadowbringers

So on 5.4, Twilight will be the new capped tomestone, and Allegory will be uncapped

[deft quiver]

makes sense

[warped nest]

Phantasma only purpose is to be traded into Allegory

[deft quiver]

so savage gets uncapped months before allegory

[warped nest]

Then in 5.5 ish, Twilight will be capped at 900, instead of the 450

To let players gear up for 6.0

[deft quiver]

5.5 being the last thing before 6.0

right?

[warped nest]

5.55 to be specific

[deft quiver]

ok

[warped nest]

Based on previous patterns

[deft quiver]

so we're far from 6.0

[warped nest]

Without covid

[twilit arch]

last patch would be 5.57/8

[warped nest]

We would have seen the teaser trailer for 6.0 around this time of the year

Ohhhh, yeah, what Kael said

[deft quiver]

is there a bigger gap between 5.57/8 and 6.0?

[warped nest]

Yes

[deft quiver]

or regular month or so between them

[warped nest]

Around 4-6 months?

[twilit arch]

about 2 mos or so

6mos would be from 5.5

[warped nest]

I keep getting my schedule incorrectly

Ahhh, thanks Kael

[deft quiver]

so we're basically 1-1.5 years away from 6.0

[warped nest]

It would have been only 1 year

[vernal wing]

anyone know how to get ff14 to use dualshock ps4 via bluetooth on PC?

[twilit arch]

assuming no more delays, 6.0 will (hopefully) be in like aug/sept

[deft quiver]

alright cool

theres so much to do in this game, and its also constantly updated

im nearing 700 hours and i still feel like im just starting

[left moth]

@vernal wing either use steam's controller support (which can't use with xiv unless use steam version) or use a wrapper to emulate an xbox controller

[leaden ginkgo]

Will the ishgardian restoration rewards remaim behind once its finished? (Aside from stuff like titles obviously

[left moth]

yes (there won't be building stages for someone who came in after it was reconstructed but the scrip system will be in place permanantly)

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay good

I assume that includes kupo of fortune

[left moth]

yes since the glorified collectables should also remain (although not sure what the last stage will be named)

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you

[left moth]

since kupo minigame is tied directly to turning in crafted items

and would be a dick move to remove that since it's deep tied to gathering diadem (and the scrip only rewards)

[leaden ginkgo]

can you not put actual gear in the armoire?

[granite swan]

Armoire is for event gear i think

[leaden ginkgo]

wow what a joke xD

[granite swan]

Dresser holds 400 gear tho

[opal bough]

Does the killing white flames in eureka with reflect cheese still works to level up?

[leaden ginkgo]

where's the dresser at :o

oh

glam dresesr

[left moth]

@opal bough it should still work since echo modifies stats, not the level difference for powerleveling (57-60 at sprite island in hydratos)

[torn turtle]

Guys

is it safe to use exit lag ?

[soft flicker]

how big of a gap do you guys think a dps like ninja is away from something likee a bard or dancer?

is it a giant fap?

gap* jesus lol

[warped nest]

@soft flicker the gap is small to begin with

Plus the devs are actively making adjustments to the jobs

[soft flicker]

just with the way theyre made something like a ninja/samurai has to be higher damage just because thats all they ave

[warped nest]

Player skill is a bigger factor on how a job perform

[soft flicker]

or so i tihnk

i dont actually know wha tim talking about im only level 50ish so i could be wrong lol

[warped nest]

Ninja doesn't have the highest personal Dps

[soft flicker]

oh really :o?

[warped nest]

The highest, by design, should be BLM and SAM

[soft flicker]

i kinda thought all 3 of those had almost 0 utility

and just raw damage

[warped nest]

Ninja has Trick Attack

[little swift]

ninja has trick attack

[warped nest]

It is the utility

[soft flicker]

oh ill look into that, i dont have it yet

[warped nest]

[little swift]

to use it you need 3 mudras

[whole wasp]

Trick attack is the entire reason for ninja's existense almost.

[little swift]

so at 45 you can use it in combat

[soft flicker]

yeah thats the combo ive been doing at level,50

[warped nest]

Trick Attack is only practical when you have access to Suiton

[soft flicker]

i have suiton

[little swift]

hide is still useful as well

since it resets mudra stacks

[soft flicker]

i basically get my trick attack/suiton going with my haste buff and then spam the lightning one

on single target

[little swift]

so you could huton doton hide suiton prepull

and raiton inside trick

[soft flicker]

oooh i see

[little swift]

the only one you may have trouble remembering is hyoton

but that becomes useful at 70+

[warped nest]

Hyoton is ten Jin or Chi jin

[soft flicker]

i wasnt really a fan of final fantasy combat until ninja honestly, this is the most unique class in an mmo i think ive played

once again, only level 50, but still

[warped nest]

At lvl 70+ your Kassatsu will have 2 effects, buff your next Ninjutsu (this is the base effect) and upgrade your hyoton/katon(you get this from a lvl 74 or 76 trait)

Upgraded Hyoton is your hardest hitting Ninjutsu, beating even Raiton

[soft flicker]

i see 😮

[warped nest]

!action Hyosho Ranryu

[soft flicker]

yeah i just got kassatsu but i havent used it in combat yet

[warped nest]

Kassatsu buff your Ninjutsu, so use it actively

[soft flicker]

once i hit 50 i took a break, grinded hahrd to get there haha

[warped nest]

!faq ninguide

[zinc orbit]

Shalfu's 5.X NIN Guide

http://bit.ly/ninguideshb

[soft flicker]

basically what i'd do is kassatsu then proc my lightning one/fire one and then cast it yeah?

i have a hard time understanding the tooltips in this game sometimes honestly

[warped nest]

For now, your Kassatsu doesn't upgrade anything

It just boost potency

[soft flicker]

yeah and im assuming fire/lightning would be best to use wouldnt it?

[warped nest]

@little swift for AOE, Kassatsu doton right?

[little swift]

kassatsu doton does work yes

goka is better at 76

[soft flicker]

fuck im confused as hell lol

[little swift]

i think they're the same damage though if you get the full duration of doton off

[soft flicker]

!action doton

[zinc orbit]

**Doton** : lvl 45 NIN (1.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Creates a patch of corrupted earth, dealing damage with a potency of 100 to any enemies who enter.

[warped nest]

OK, so for AOE, Doton is more potency than Katon, but doton takes time to delivery all their damage

[soft flicker]

!action katon

[zinc orbit]

**Katon** : lvl 35 NIN (1.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals fire damage with a potency of 500 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Mudra Combination: Chi→Ten or Jin→Ten

Powered by XIVAPI

[soft flicker]

sorry for the spam i just dont know them by name

[warped nest]

No problem

As you can see

Doton deals 100 potency for 24s

[soft flicker]

i thought doton sucked honestly

[warped nest]

So it is 800 potency when ticked all the way

[soft flicker]

isnt it only when they enter the area it does 100 potency?

or is it while theyre inside as well?

[little swift]

its inside as well

[warped nest]

Stay

[little swift]

every 3 seconds

[warped nest]

The wording can be better

[little swift]

basically an aoe damage over time

[soft flicker]

do y ou know if its liek that for me atm?

it might be a trait later on

[little swift]

doton doesn't change

[soft flicker]

okay gotcha

doton is overall better aoe then but katon if i cant get a decent doton off

or if i need burst

i would assume

[warped nest]

Oe the enemies won't last 24s

[soft flicker]

yeah exactly

[warped nest]

Yup, you are thinking the right things

[soft flicker]

fuck man this class is crazy, is this considered the hardest job?

[warped nest]

Ehhhh

Difficulty is pretty subjective

[soft flicker]

only other one ive played is bard to 55 and that seemed so simple

fun, very fun, but simple

[warped nest]

Bard gets a bit more chaotic when you have more tools

[little swift]

it is definitely an apm heavy job but i wouldn't call it the hardest

it does have a high skill floor though

[soft flicker]

what would you consider the hardest?

just out of curiosity

[little swift]

out of the melees it is one of the more difficult ones

i can personally can't fully wrap my head around summoner

and black mage is difficult to me too

[soft flicker]

oh okay, thats a dot heavy playstyle right?

[warped nest]

I can do Summoner just fine XD

Summoner has multiple things to juggle later

Doing dot is actually the easiest part

[soft flicker]

i actually want to level arcanist but fuck if i dont hate the early game of ffxiv lol (pre 30)

[little swift]

you really don't see much of a job until they hit like 60+

sometimes even 70

[soft flicker]

i feel like ive seen a good bit of ninja 😮 maybe thats just because of how fast paced it feels though

[little swift]

ninja with and without ten-chi-jin is big

[soft flicker]

!action ten-chi-jin

[zinc orbit]

**Ten Chi Jin** : lvl 70 NIN (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Cannot be executed while under the effect of Kassatsu. Effect ends upon moving.

[warped nest]

@soft flicker lvl 50 ninja is around 2/3rd of the way there.

[dusk merlin]

Is there really anything locked behind the third coil of bahamut? I can't get past second coil turn 4

[soft flicker]

yeah that tooltip is confusing to me honestly, i really suck at understanding the tooltips

[warped nest]

Ask questions here

We are happy to explain

[little swift]

the story @dusk merlin . you need to complete the final floors of every tier to get through the story

[soft flicker]

thats one complaint i have is theres not that much information in the tooltips lol, like the daton one

[little swift]

second coil turn 4 is tough to solo

[soft flicker]

doton*

[little swift]

the tooltips do have plenty of information

[warped nest]

@soft flicker under the effect of tenchijin, you cannot move, but your mudra cast Ninjutsu directly

[little swift]

but they're not always worded well

[soft flicker]

i dont really get what that means

[dusk merlin]

So really just missing lore, not anything too important if I choose to cut my losses there?

[warped nest]

To cast Ninjutsu normally, you use a Mudra, then use Ninjutsu, right?

[soft flicker]

yeah

[little swift]

achievement and certain glamours if you wanted those as well

[warped nest]

Say, if you want to cast Raiton, you will do Ten + Chi + Ninjutsu (which becomes Raiton after the ten Chi mudra is pressed)

So far so good, chase?

[little swift]

ten chi jin is just 3 mudras that would build off each other

each mudra you press will automatically cast the thing that it would have resulted in

[soft flicker]

i think so, but wouldnt that just instantly shuriken then?

[little swift]

you shuriken -> raiton -> suiton

[soft flicker]

OOOOH

it casts all 3

[warped nest]

OK, under the effect of tenchijin, if you press ten, you will cast shuriken automatically

[soft flicker]

i was understanding it as when you cast one of them the cooldown would be used up, but it just casts all of the options that you combine along the way?

[warped nest]

Then when you press Chi, it will use the ten before + the Chi you pressed right now, and cast raiton

[little swift]

yes chase you got it

[soft flicker]

so you get 3 abilities out of 3 presses instead of 1 out of 3

[warped nest]

Yes

[little swift]

but if you move you lose it

[soft flicker]

okay sorry, i'm struggling with understanding these spells haha

ahh okay, thats pretty interesting

[warped nest]

No problem, don't be shy to ask

[slate crow]

Are all allied quest lines connected?

[warped nest]

Later, your Ninja can start to generate resources called Ninki

[little swift]

no not really

if i recall correctly

[warped nest]

Ninki can be used for different offensive abilities

So there are just more stuff to do on top of your current combat rotation

!action Hellfrog

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Action not found, Kupo!

[warped nest]

Crap

[little swift]

!action hellfrog medium

[zinc orbit]

**Hellfrog Medium** : lvl 62 NIN (50 Ninki Gauge) (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals fire damage with a potency of 200 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Ninki Gauge Cost: 50
Shares a recast timer with Bhavacakra.

[twilit abyss]

Can you gain job exp in eureka?

[soft flicker]

yeah i dont have that spell just yet haha

[twilit arch]

no.

[warped nest]

No

[little swift]

just elemental exp

[twilit arch]

eureka only give elemental exp

[warped nest]

@soft flicker so, at the highest level, your job as a Ninja are:

• do trick attack
• do different Ninjutsu
• build and spend Ninki

Just in case you missed it

Imma link the guide here again

!faq ninguide

[zinc orbit]

Shalfu's 5.X NIN Guide

http://bit.ly/ninguideshb

[soft flicker]

yeah i havent checked out an in depth guide yet because i dont even know what a lot of that stuff is

like the frog for instance

[warped nest]

Fair

[soft flicker]

im really excited though, im loving the class alooot

i want to try others but the early game man lol, its just not for me

[warped nest]

Leveling other jobs to catch up in level shouldn't be that hard

You do know that you can play multiple jobs on one character

[soft flicker]

oh, yeah

[warped nest]

And other jobs doesn't need to do story again, right?

[soft flicker]

i have quite a few already

yeah, i just REALLY don't like the early game combat

[warped nest]

Fair

[soft flicker]

like for instance, until basically 40, i only had like 3 abilities to use on my ninja lol

my rotation was 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 until i got ninjitsu basically

it actuallyl took me longer to get into final fantasy than it shouldve for that reason haha

[little swift]

its like that for almost every job

[warped nest]

It is what it is

[soft flicker]

yeah ive noticed that unfortunately

im thinking of doing arcanist next, it seems interesting

[brave ravine]

yea, and that simple rotation remains since we get down-leveled during roulettes

[warped nest]

Giving players too many skills early on, might confuse them even more

[soft flicker]

i dont mind it in the daily roulette it's whatever

oh for sure

i absolutely love the crafting in this game, its the first crafting in an mmo that feels like, just satisfying and rewarding

just messing with culinary right now im having fun

[muted sierra]

i definitely recommend arcanist 👍 scholar is my favorite healer and summoner is my favorite dps

they're both really fun

[soft flicker]

yeah i really like the idea of scholar more than summoner tbh

scholar seems very interesting

i just need to get it to 30ish and i can just spam dungeons haha

[granite swan]

Just be forewarned, Arcanist job quests can be a royal pita since they arent made for the new pet system

[soft flicker]

not sure whta that means but ill remember to be careful haha

[granite swan]

Pet use to tank, it doesnt anymore, so the npc u have to defend just gets lawlpwned

[soft flicker]

oooh

okay

[spare plinth]

although astrologian is the hardest of the three healers, is it still worth to try it out?

[little swift]

yes

[soft flicker]

its the only healer ive played so far, and even only at like 34 i think it feels very interesting

[little swift]

the sleeve draw changes reduced its difficulty

[spare plinth]

that's what i heard

you can get a different seal guaranteed

i guess yoshi p made astrologian easier

but its still the hardest?

[little swift]

it has a lot of comfort

in almost all its heals being ogcd

[little swift]

and malefic has a shorter cast time

so you can weave things really comfortably/slidecast

[main plank]

not sure if i'm looking at it wrong, but is fishing in diadem really inefficient compared to mining or botanist?

[slate crow]

Are book stamps completely ramdom?

[spare plinth]

apparently prior to shadowbringers ast can use cards on everybody

is that removed?

[main plank]

like 30 seconds to get one fish and then desynthing it for like 2 items

[warped nest]

@spare plinth yes, AST card buff is changed in ShB

[spare plinth]

so no more aoe buffs

probably because the seals take over the role?

[warped nest]

so no more aoe buffs
@spare plinth not exactly, if you don't mind me being long winded

Previously

[main plank]

@slate crow for wondrous tails, yes it's random, but you can shuffle the stamps with second chance points

[warped nest]

AST can use an ability called Royal Road to consume a card to gain a buff. Balance and Bole give a card effect up, Spire and Ewer give card AOE effect, Arrow and Spear give card duration up

So the standard procedure was to fish for the Card AOE buff, and use play Balance (attack up) under it, or Spear (crit up) if you just can't get Balance

[spare plinth]

looks like ast is simplified in shadowbringers

[warped nest]

You got the idea

Now Divination is functionally the same as an AOE balance

[spare plinth]

hence why larry would previously say "give me balance"

now he can just use divination

because all the cards give dmg up

[warped nest]

Old card effect
Balance attack up
Bole defense up
Ewer MP recovery
Spire TP recovery
Arrow skill/spell speed up
Spear crit up

Arrow and Spear have seen a few changes, what I listed is the Stormblood effect

[spare plinth]

larry said spire is peepee colored, since tp recovery is useless by stormblood

[warped nest]

Pretty much

[spare plinth]

now you can toss spire at any player (range i think)

[warped nest]

In Stormblood, single target barely use any TP if at all

TP is removed completely in ShB

[spare plinth]

oh yea prior to shb ast were basically gambling to get balance

aoe balance

[warped nest]

It is not that hard to fish for it

But it is, like what you said fishing for RNG

[wanton shadow]

can anyone tell me why I cant wear this glamour? I'm a level 50 BLM https://i.imgur.com/BMVfxFb.png

[spare plinth]

or as larry would say it "you can be RNG itself, with astrologian"

[warped nest]

You cannot make weaker gear look stronger

[spare plinth]

how's the rng in shadowbringers with ast?

[warped nest]

So if you have your i90 black Mage body gear

[wanton shadow]

wow really

TIL

[warped nest]

You cannot make it look like a i100 gear

(just wear the i100, no reason not to)

@spare plinth decent

For two reason

A divination can always buff damage

[wanton shadow]

ended up buying a cheap thing from MB, ty for the help

[warped nest]

It is either more damage or less

[wanton shadow]

never knew that about glamour, I thought it was just "can you equip this or not"

[warped nest]

B Sleeve Draw let you draw a Card with a seal you don't have. For example, if you have sun, moon, sun seals, sleeve draw will produce a star card

[twilit arch]

@warped nest that's not true

[warped nest]

Eh?

[twilit arch]

the level required to wear the gear is what matters

ilvl is irrelevant

[warped nest]

Oh, my bad, brainfart

What Kael said

You can glamour a lvl 50 i90 gear to look like lvl 50 i100 gear, but you could have just wear the i100 gear directly

You cannot however, make a lvl 45 i50 look like any gear that's higher than lvl 45

[remote lintel]

@wanton shadow what level is the torso you're wearing

[wanton shadow]

it was i90

[remote lintel]

but what level

[wanton shadow]

50

[remote lintel]

what happened when you tried to glamour it

[wanton shadow]

it just said no, but @warped nest was correct

[warped nest]

Did they changed that?

[remote lintel]

the ilvl of the gear doesnt matter

[warped nest]

What we know is, if two gears are on the same equip level, you can make them look like one another

[wanton shadow]

well we, getting a higher ilvl equip worked

[remote lintel]

sounds like it was just the level

[warped nest]

Can I ask you to take a screenshot of the gear that doesn't work?

[remote lintel]

but

[warped nest]

And the gear that does?

[wanton shadow]

I junked the other one

😦

but it was just a level 50 caster body

maybe it was just a ui bug or I had a window open that restricted it?

[soft flicker]

im enjoying cooking alot but it seems liek it could be a big hassle to hold onto a ton of materials/collect them as you need them

how do you guys usually do it?

[remote lintel]

you dont?

[warped nest]

Cook what I need

Ditch everything else

[soft flicker]

ic ic

[warped nest]

Only keep the expensive stuff

[soft flicker]

gotcha

[warped nest]

When it comes to Culinarian, once you level past recipea, it is very rare that you will need to revisit it

[soft flicker]

ic ic

basically just worry about getting it leveled up and then make what i need at the time?

[warped nest]

@wanton shadow oh well, just know that gear cannot be glamour to look more powerful. A lvl 53 gear cannot be made to look like lvl 54-80 for example.

(I am fairly sure that your lvl 50 Caster body is a lvl 45 i50 gear, but it is not important anymore)

[wanton shadow]

yeah fair enough, I am tired so maybe my brain was lying to me

[twilit arch]

no, the i50 chest is 50

[untold sand]

is it possible to use squadrons on dungeons if ur tanking most stuff?

[twilit arch]

yes

[warped nest]

Then by logic, it should be able to look like a lv50 i100 chest

[untold sand]

considerin the ai

[warped nest]

Anyhow, we just can't be sure anymore on what went wrong

[twilit arch]

the AI is stupid, yeah and you get the mechanics dropped on you, but they make up for it with brute stength

some of the dungeons are more annoying to do with them, but generally you don't want to do those dungeons anyway

since they're lvl 50 dungeons

the leveling dungeons you can do with squadrons really aren't too annoying

[untold sand]

so heavensward library thing is a nono?

[analog gate]

gubal isn't in the command mission list i'm pretty sure

[soft flicker]

looking at how good my food is at this level, it must be super super useful at max

[warped nest]

No

[twilit arch]

gubal's not one of the dungeons you can run with them

[warped nest]

Food has cap

[soft flicker]

oh

[warped nest]

On their stat boost

[twilit arch]

highest leveling dungeon you can do with squadrons is vault

[untold sand]

is there restriction?

Error!

Item not found, Kupo!

[granite swan]

Food should say like 10% Int (cap 2) or something

[twilit arch]

the dungeons you can do with squadrons is a very specific list

[warped nest]

@untold sand what food do you have right now?

[granite swan]

Which sucks for 20-40 cause theres only like 2 dungeons in the 20s and 1 for all of 30 >.>

[soft flicker]

whats the point of leveling it past a certain point then 😮

[warped nest]

To make better food with higher cap

[untold sand]

um

[soft flicker]

so is there any point to getting it to 80 then?

since it caps

[untold sand]

i never asked bout food

😂

[granite swan]

you asked your question in the middle of food talk :p

[zinc kelp]

in future patches, is cinder gonna give 2 totems per kill just like hades extreme trials? right now i get 1 totem per kill on cinder drift extreme

[twilit arch]

no

[warped nest]

@untold sand sorry, I didn't meant to mention you, my bad

[twilit arch]

hades gives 2 per kill because its got a long intermission

[warped nest]

@soft flicker

[soft flicker]

hi

[warped nest]

!item boiled egg

**Boiled Egg** **:** Meal : ilvl 3

[warped nest]

See that the egg boost critical hit by 8%?

[soft flicker]

yeah

[warped nest]

But it is capped at 1 point

[soft flicker]

oh

i see

[warped nest]

So if you have 1000 crit stat, it will be raised to 1001

Not 1080 crit

Higher level food has higher cap

[soft flicker]

thats a very odd system lol

[warped nest]

It could have been just a simple +1 crit

[zinc kelp]

@twilit arch i see. thank you 🙂 so usually all extreme trials give 1 totem per kill aside from hades because it was a long fight?

[warped nest]

And a +120 crit for a much better food

But it is what it is

[soft flicker]

yeah haha

[twilit arch]

yes, its normal for expansion trials to give 1 per kill

[soft flicker]

okay im heading to bed, thanks so much for all the help tonight guys

you guys are amazing

[twilit arch]

memoria ex also gives 2, but thats cos its its own weird extreme

[warped nest]

I want to mention Rathalos EX too

You only needed 50 "totem" to get the mount

[zinc kelp]

memoria dont have any mounts tho right?

[warped nest]

Still 1 totem per hunt, but only 50 is needed to trade for the mount, instead of the usual 99

Nope

It doesn't

[zinc kelp]

i see thank guys 🙂

[warped nest]

Memoria is very different

[untold sand]

kinda sad the bunny people cant have helmets

[remote lintel]

technology restrictions

[ancient yoke]

uhhhh is there a channel that is dedicated to mount farming, or something along those lines?

[heady bramble]

Is there anyway to try on Glamour?

without having to see someone with it?

[carmine jacinth]

marketplace?

[green grail]

depends on the piece, find where it comes from

vendor, marketboard

[heady bramble]

Ah I meant the Mogstation ones

[green grail]

then no

[untold sand]

does it matter much what class i give retainer?

[heady bramble]

but didn’t think you can try from the Marketboard too?

[green grail]

you can

[untold sand]

as in must i give one retainer the disciples of land to gain mats? or does the classes also give?

[granite swan]

Right Click -> Try On

and theres a button at bottom that will let you try on multiple things at once

[heady bramble]

oooohh

[twilit arch]

combat classes can go out and gather mob drops, i.e meat and leathers

gathering retainers can go out and gathering the same things that are in the player's gathering log

but you have to keep in mind that they can only go as high as you personally are in that class

and for gathering retainers, can only gather items you personally have gathered atleast once

[untold sand]

so would need kinda 1 combat and 1 botanist?

[twilit arch]

General recommendation is 1 combat and one gatherer, yeah

botanist or miner, they're both fine

[nova umbra]

does fflogs ignore buffs/debuffs from allies when calculating rDPS? I had around 19k or something on ACT and it's uploaded as 17.4k

[untold sand]

here i am kinda plannin to become a leatherworker

lol

[nova umbra]

so like astro buff, dancer technical step, ninja trick attack, etc.

[muted sierra]

those buffs are given to whoever gave out the buffs

the dps from those buffs, rather

[untold sand]

dumb question does retainer gear actually affect the mission outcome?

[nova umbra]

ah, so their buffs increase the buffer's rdps

[muted sierra]

so if you got 500 more dps over the course of a fight from trick attack, fflogs gives that dps over to the ninja

yeah

[whole wasp]

yes, better retainer gear, they usually come back with better stuff

idk about gatherers

[twilit arch]

combat retainers only care about ilvl

[nova umbra]

gatherer retainers use the gathering stat

[twilit arch]

gatherers care about gathering stat

[nova umbra]

and I think perception increases HQ chance?

[untold sand]

considerin classes gets jobs?

is it the same with disciples of hand/land?

[little swift]

No

[analog gate]

i've often see people set up all 8 markers for, say, E5S in an instant. how do i do that?

[untold sand]

hmmmm wonder if windows gamebar have something related to ffxiv

[deft yarrow]

getting a bunch of umbrite to help make HW relic weps is a good idea? if I plan on making a bunch of HW relic weapons?

[untold sand]

question is app overlays like xbox gamebar for stuff like ffxiv counted as addons? cuz stuff like destiny u can pin stuff to screen

but only game related stuff

[whole wasp]

overlays dont count

tho some overlays are a bitch to work in ffxiv. i know discord overlays never work properly for me

[untold sand]

wellp i saw a post where it says ffxiv has support for windows gamebar

yet i find nothing on microsoft store

[leaden ginkgo]

where can i buy starting gear for BLU and RDM? After I unlocked them, I sold the stuff that was given due to inventory clogging. So don't hate me @_@

[novel parcel]

What's the Gathering/perception requirement for the bonus in current diadem nodes?

ik gp is 858~

[whole wasp]

@leaden ginkgo if you mean the original gear, they should be repurchasable from the calamnity salvager

[leaden ginkgo]

@whole wasp it includes the base weapons too right?

[whole wasp]

i think so

[untold sand]

why cant i find any gamebar overlays for ffxiv :C

[upper pendant]

can someone help me do chimera trial unsynced? ;-; 1 person is fine i think

[leaden ginkgo]

what's the exp below the real exp ofCrafters?

And how do you level it up

does it turn Purple when it's max ?

[green grail]

it's desynthesis level

you desynth stuff and it goes up

items have a certain desynth level "requirement", usually equal to their itemlevel, where chance for rare items from the desynth is increased

[forest laurel]

considering trying out eureka for an RDM relic, is mr happy's guide any good for it?

[whole wasp]

super dated. take with a grain of salt

[forest laurel]

even the current one

?

[granite swan]

He has a revisit from like a month ago

[forest laurel]

yeah for 5.25, I'm watching that rn

he suggests getting kirin's osode/vermillion cloak

[granite swan]

I dont regret it :p then again i plan to get a couple eureka weapons/armor

[whole wasp]

oh those. yea seems good

yes definitely get kirin's osode vermillion cloak

make sure you check the prices for the damascene cloth and cryptic seal

its usually cheaper to buy the trade in material and sellers try to scam the actual item

[granite swan]

also check your DC for pricing

i hopped servers and got 3 for 750k instead of 500k each >.>

[forest laurel]

in his video it was like 125k each so yeah I'll def have to server hop

you can use the kupbot to check prices ;p

yeah but thats manually updated isnt it

so prices are gonna be out of date

[granite swan]

New to game. My internet is quite bad (likely pinging 350ish to my best server). I was thinking dragoon sounds like fun, but do you guys think that is a job that is playable with high ping?

[nova umbra]

high ping, probably not machinist or ninja

[ocean crag]

So I have a kinda dumb question, for Eden Verse Savage is it just Books and coffers that drop? To elaborate, I’m asking if gear actually drops.

[nova umbra]

most tanks and healers should be fine with high ping

the coffers are used to get the gear

for the class that you open it on

stuff that is used to augment crystarium gear also drops

[ocean crag]

I understand what the coffers are and what they do :/

[nova umbra]

so if you're asking if something like, a melee dps headpiece specifically drops, then no

[forest laurel]

@ocean crag coffers and books mainly
2nd floor drops right-side upgrade and tomestone weapon item
3rd floor drops left-side upgrade and tomestone weapon upgrade
4th floor drops mount and random eden weapon and a weapon coffer

[blissful lava]

Hi, how do you get the newest emote and hairstyle?

[forest laurel]

ishgard restoration

Oh Thank You @forest laurel 💙

[ocean crag]

Mk thank you @forest laurel @nova umbra

[cedar compass]

Does grit reduce your dps? There's nothing of the sorts in the tooltip

[glossy flare]

it doesn't

[forest laurel]

no

[cedar compass]

It used to? Because I keep reading that tank stance reduces DPS

[glossy flare]

used to be that tanks had a dps and a tank stance where the tank stance reduced your dps

but not anymore

[forest laurel]

that was in the old days

[polar hound]

It used to but shadowbringers changed all that

[cedar compass]

So there's no point in not having grit up all the time?

[glossy flare]

depends

if you're the off tank you often leave it off

[forest laurel]

if you're in a dungeon you always have it on

[whole wasp]

yea so you dont accidentally rip agro from your cotank

similarly for alliance raid

[polar hound]

Shirk on cd or pop it mid way thru a fight if you want insurance

[glossy flare]

then when you gotta tank swap or grab some adds you turn it back on of course

[ocean crag]

@forest laurel another off kilter question do how many books drop for each eden verse raid?

[forest laurel]

1

[opal bough]

Ive never had any problem with glamours but now I can't seem to cast certain glamours. I've put a glamour plate with lvl 1 all classes pieces and samurais lvl 70 and 80 pieces. all the lvl 1 pieces work just fine but the samurai ones will not cast at all

[forest laurel]

because they're only for samurais.

[glossy flare]

(and monks)

[opal bough]

yeah I'm trying to use it on my samurai

[glossy flare]

what level is your sam?

[opal bough]

80

[glossy flare]

hm, what does the error message say?

[forest laurel]

and do you have lvl 80 gear?

[glossy flare]

gottay say something

[opal bough]

70 and 80. 70 anemos chest piece and normal 80 foot piece

[forest laurel]

it doesn't say anything it just doesn't put that one glam on

[opal bough]

It doesnt show anything. It just won't cast

[forest laurel]

are you trying to use a lvl 80 top as glam

[glossy flare]

you can't put a lvl 80 glam on a lvl 70 piece of gear

[twilit arch]

what level is the gear you're wearing

[opal bough]

Oh, that's the problem then

Thanks

[glossy flare]

get some neo ishgard stuff, it's comparatively cheap

or make it yourself if you can

[spice delta]

hey, any lv 80 could help me do 3 unsynced lv 50 dungeons just for relic? duty finder is taking forever

[polar hound]

Try party finder

[forest laurel]

but
unsynced

you don't need anyone?

oh nvm I misread

party finder would be better then but it's like

[spice delta]

I'm on party finder already, I think everybody is asleep haha

[polar hound]

It is really early on primal so may not have much luck

[forest laurel]

it's like 5am east coast

2am west

5am est yeah

Try a bit later or pray, youll only need one 80 to carry through those

[spice delta]

yeah, just checking my luck here. it's my last book

Retainer Guide

What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

[proven bay]

Ventures is a great thing to spend spare seals on. Since they'll always be useful

And you can just keep them around for when you need them

[polar hound]

Plus they go into your currency tab and don't take an inventory slot

[cerulean grove]

ahh ty

what does centered mean in crafting?

[twilit arch]

Sturdy Reduces loss of durability by 50%. * Effect can be stacked with Waste Not and Waste Not II.
Pliant Reduces CP cost by 50%.

for the other two conditions

[gritty oracle]

Does reprisal/addle work on fury's fourteen?

[stable hinge]

what rotation do I use for high collectability in crafting?

[gritty oracle]

I usually start with Reflect, then work on progress until I'm one step away from finish, then lay on the quality hard

try to time Byregot for last step of innovation

at any rate Byregot should be the last step before finish

and keep Manipulation rolling, but mind the 10 durability interaction. Idk at low durability, waste not 1/2 might be better?

[stable hinge]

Ty

[gritty oracle]

basically try to have either 56 or 24 CP by the before-last step for Byregot or Strides+Byregot, unless you need Careful Touch, in which case it's 63 or 31

and try to keep Innovation up when you're doing quality, and Veneration when doing progress

[sly vessel]

is it true machinist has the highest apm usage

[leaden ginkgo]

haven't touched AST yet, is there a purpose for Undraw in certain levels?

[jade quartz]

Nope

Relic of a previous iteration of the card system

You don’t need it on your bar.

I think the highest average apm jobs are ninja, followed by machinist, followed by bard

@sly vessel

[sly vessel]

ahh thanks

Extra “aww” fact: for Lalafells, the above minions go to your head instead of shoulder

[untold sand]

the alarm system in game do i have to readd them every time they expire?

[obsidian patio]

Source: I have 350 minions and I don’t know how to stop

[untold sand]

cuz its gonna be annoying on repeat

[obsidian wren]

If it's for nodes you could get teamcraft so the alarms are only on when the app is running

Also has other useful crafting tools

[untold sand]

so i cant just have a preset timer and reactivate?

or does it stay once i create?

[jade quartz]

you can check the box to have them repeat daily.

though in general i'd recommend using some kind of external timer if it's for gathering or something

The ingame timers are a bit clunky and limited.

[untold sand]

specifically ventures and stuff

[warped nest]

Garlandtools or Garlandbell (website) can track these

[jade quartz]

The game gives you a text notification when ventures complete

[obsidian patio]

You’ll get onscreen notifications about ventures being complete assuming you’re not in a duty

[warped nest]

Bell is highly specialized for tracking gathering nodes

[untold sand]

i just want simple alarms for my retainer ventures

that i dont have to open phone every hour

is it possible to do a set timer macro?

How long is the level process from 50 - 80 usually? Assuming I play every day for..... a good amount of time and do all / most of the duty roulettes.

[marble drift]

a rough amount of time depending on how you play the game

Im curious as to why it matters however?

its a video game. just play? o_o

[proud willow]

it also makes a huge difference if it's your first class or not

[covert hazel]

pls help guys 🌹

[proud willow]

because if it's your first class, you have to go through the story, which is a lot more content than just grinding levels would be

[onyx kiln]

is it 5 swords you need for 1 tomestone for either the deep shadow and/or crystarium?

[calm phoenix]

Are people using marketboard bots or something that tells them that someone undercut them in price? I seem to always be in a price war with people just minutes after I list or adjust price

[marble drift]

They require different blades @onyx kiln

[grave copper]

it would be first class, I'm asking cause if I upgrade from free trial, I would want to experience being 80 before membership ran out

[vocal shell]

4 swords for the perdurable tomestone

[proud willow]

It is likely that some people are using market bots

[marble drift]

Early and Golden Antiquity

[proud willow]

against the TOS

[onyx kiln]

okay

[marble drift]

early for deepshadow, golden for crystarium

[calm phoenix]

The "Dote" emote on the mogstation does not say if it is single character or account-wide. Does anybody know which it is?

[jade quartz]

Single character.

The item page will always say.

[calm phoenix]

Why isn't gil packs sold on the mogstation? So many games these days sell currency but this one does not

[jade quartz]

That's a P2W practice

More in line with a F2P business model.

This game doesn't work like that

and the negative backlash if they did would probably be huge

By the way, only mounts can be account-wide

that's why on mounts the actual item title has single-character or account-wide specified

all others are single-character by default.

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a way to get a party for PoD outside of partyfinder?

[jade quartz]

Technically you can buy gil by buying a story skip, which gives you 500K.

[obsidian patio]

Palace of the dead?

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

[obsidian patio]

Just queue for it.

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm trying to get to floor 100

[jade quartz]

Of course, this isn't a particularly viable money-to-gil transfer rate.

[leaden ginkgo]

and no one plays any floor past 70

[obsidian patio]

If you’re willing to take it slow, you can grind floors 51-60 and then try soloing to 100

I was not in an AoE that I could see

[obsidian patio]

You either got hit by that or you were standing on part of the highlighted arena that fell off when Titan jumped back down

Since parts of it break to reduce the arena’s size

[jade quartz]

Either way you were standing in an AoE of some description.

Remember that AoEs snapshot whether or not they hit you just as the cast bar finishes

not when the animation goes out.

[calm phoenix]

Why is nobody raising me or the other DPSs? There is one DPS left

[proud willow]

There is a particular way that AOE indicators work in this game that is not intuitive if you don't know about it. Titan is the first place that people really feel it

[jade quartz]

You cannot be raised after being knocked off in Titan.

[obsidian patio]

Falling off of Titan’s arena keeps your body down there, so no one can reach you

[twilit arch]

you can't be raised if you were knocked off

[jade quartz]

You're not on the platform.

[obsidian patio]

SE mostly puts a stop to that once you beat Heavensward’s leveling story in terms of content where you can fall off.

[calm phoenix]

My brother-in-law can be raised after being knocked off in level 80 content. Why does he get that?

[obsidian patio]

@finite swift easily millions

[jade quartz]

It's different content.

[proud willow]

Later fights put your body back on the platform after you fall off

[obsidian patio]

Definitely

[proud willow]

all 3 Titan fights in ARR do not

[jade quartz]

In Titan you're stuck down there.

[obsidian patio]

Entirely server and luck dependent

[twilit abyss]

My brother-in-law can be raised after being knocked off in level 80 content. Why does he get that?
@calm phoenix ARR vs Expac content.

[jade quartz]

Later, from Sophia (post-Heavensward) onwards, they stopped using that mechanic.

[obsidian patio]

Not all prices are the same

And the cost of doing so fully depends on how you acquire the materia, whether it’s from buying it off the marketboard or through trade-ins like yellow/white scrips or skybuilder scrips

[ebon nacelle]

Is there a certain way to find guilds in this discord? I am really looking for one that teaches/helps new people.

[obsidian patio]

Again, depends on your server prices and melding luck

IMO you should only purposefully do expert recipes if you want to try to hit top 12 in the rankings

[calm phoenix]

7 AM. Super quick queue times. Like how?

[obsidian patio]

If you want scrips then the level 80 non-expert recipes are more efficient and vastly easier to do

They unlock the endgame crafts for those level caps

1+2 for level 50, 3+4 for 60, 5+6 for 70, 7+8 for 80.

[cerulean grove]

Can i somehow lock my hotbars so that they exactly as they are before switching my role?

[proud willow]

before switching your role?

[cerulean grove]

whenever i change to healer a couple skills from the paladin side replace some healing stuff

[heady bramble]

how do we get "Timeworn Boarskin Maps?"

[cerulean grove]

and vice versa

[obsidian patio]

Full HQ Aesethe gear with some CP melds should be more than enough for all current recipes besides the phase 3 expert recipe

[proud willow]

there's a setting to select which hotbars you want to be shared

[cerulean grove]

ooo

im gonna find that out

[obsidian patio]

@heady bramble should be from level 45 or 50 gathering nodes in ARR zones.

[cerulean grove]

found it

whats a cross hotbar?

[obsidian patio]

The Hotbar that controller players use

[cerulean grove]

ok

ty

[heady bramble]

oh damn..

that's why it's difficult to get

does it matter which gatherer i am?

[obsidian patio]

Nope, all 3 can get maps

Though Fisher is slightly worse since you can fish up a map that you don’t want

[inland zenith]

What do you do with triple triad cards you already own?

[obsidian patio]

Since they can’t exactly pick what they gather

[cerulean grove]

@proud willow this made my life so much easier

tyvm

[twilit arch]

you can sell them to one of the npcs at the counter for mgp @inland zenith

counter in the gold saucer

[inland zenith]

Good to know, I was about o discard them

Talking about maps, is there a way to know which one will spawn the portal to the dungeon?

[jade quartz]

Dragonskin, Gaganaskin and Zonureskin maps can lead to portal dungeons.

Whether they spawn the portal is random chance.

[inland zenith]

ah, ok.

[jade quartz]

They're the ones that say "Level x (full party recommended)" at the bottom

(You don't need a full party btw, three people is good enough)

[inland zenith]

hmm, I'll take note on that.

[obsidian patio]

Do note that the previous expansion maps cannot be undersized, you’ll always sync down to their level

[inland zenith]

alright, alright

Either way I guess I'll just hoard these maps and then try to form a party when searching the treasure.

[sly vessel]

is camp dragonhead still part of arr

[inland zenith]

I want to finish stormblood to spend my phantasmagoria and allegory tomestones

[obsidian patio]

@sly vessel yes

[sly vessel]

ok i thought i was still gonna need to unlock aether currents for it

[cerulean grove]

where can i view my party penalty

from withdrawing que

[open coral]

You can't.

[cerulean grove]

how long is it

[open coral]

I can't say I've ever tested it, but I would expect it lasts until reset?

[cerulean grove]

It's so stupid how you get penalty from withdrawing from the que. It's insanely stupid. I accidentally take wrong raid, and i leave, why do i get penalized. Now you make others wait for me, as i try to reque for a daily

[surreal geyser]

So I have some questions regarding the whole Ishgard restoration thing. I think I'm going to start working on that for the first time today, I have a 70 gatherer. Is that going to be enough to actually make progress?

[open coral]

You get penalized only if you withdraw when the instance group has actually formed.

[cerulean grove]

@open coral it ended now lasted like 5mins

Yeah but still

its stupid

[open coral]

If you withdraw while the DF is still trying to find people then you're fine.

[cerulean grove]

you should get penalized for leaving when the raid is on

for sure

but on que? stupid

quess i kinda get it tho

if people were abusing it

[surreal geyser]

Actually I can attest to why they did that

[cerulean grove]

makes sense

[surreal geyser]

Back when they launched crystal tower you had people constantly dropping queue. The window would pop 10-15 times before you could get in

[open coral]

You get a full on 30 minute for being the first person to leave an in-progress instance. 5 minutes or whatever for inconveniencing 3-23 other people in the queue is nothing.

[jade quartz]

@cerulean grove the penalty timer can be viewed simply by opening the DF window.

There is no five minute timer for withdrawing from queue

there's no five minute DF penalty at all

Withdrawing from a queue three times in a day = 30 minute penalty.

Leaving a dungeon in progress when the party is full = 30 minute penalty.

Withdrawing once or twice = no penalty

it's only when you get the third strike that you are penalised.

[open coral]

Does the strike counter reset after the third withdraw, do you know?

I've always kind of wondered about it.

[jade quartz]

uh I think so

[surreal geyser]

So I know you can go to the Diadem now, how do you do that without a company airship? I want to try gathering for skybuilder scrips

[open rivet]

just go to the firmament and talk to the mission commander

[surreal geyser]

Ah yep there it is

Thanks

Does it really matter what I gather out there? Or will anything do?

[hot eagle]

stars mostly mean it's a lil bit harder to make and the other symbol means it's a collectible

[serene elbow]

its there a way to fix unable to resub direct from card? used to be fine but now i need use other option buying crysta and pay sub

[obsidian patio]

The squares show that it’s crafted as a collectable, with the quality bar gauging how good it is

[serene elbow]

i just dont want pay extra

[half kraken]

There's a cooldown after changing GCs until you can do it again right? How long is it? I remember like it was 90 days or something

[obsidian patio]

Much shorter nowadays, if not removed

I think like one or two weeks?

Also a Gil cost of 25k past the first swap

[twilit arch]

15days

[half kraken]

Oh thanks

Speaking of, are we ever getting new GC ranks?

[twilit arch]

possibly

captain was added in 4.4

[obsidian patio]

Whenever they add more GC glamour

They don’t want to mindlessly add more ranks unless there’s a reward behind it besides a higher seal cap

[delicate edge]

If you swithc GC do you lose your rank?

[obsidian patio]

Your rank in the previous GC gets frozen

And you’ll have to rank back up in your new one if it’s your first time swapping to them

You also can’t access your squadron until you get back to 2nd Lieutenant

(The squadron itself is completely untouched)

[untold sand]

im damn lost i am watching wiki on what queue it is in ARR epilogue and i dont seem to find the name

on gamescape

[calm phoenix]

Why did Square Enix charge a dollar to my debit card today? I did not buy anything on the mogstation for a dollar

[untold sand]

retainer service?

[calm phoenix]

I do not have more than two retainers

[open rivet]

did you register your card recently?

[hot eagle]

did u add your card to your account a lil ago or tried to buy anything from them could be a preauthorization check to see if your card works that will be charged back later

[open rivet]

^ might be a test-charge

[calm phoenix]

did you register your card recently?
@open rivet Yes. I purchased a subscription a few days ago

[hot eagle]

but don't charge it back yourself or u risk losing your account

[obsidian patio]

Yeah it’s just a test charge to make sure things go through

You’ll get it back

[heavy cave]

should i use lb at all as a tank?

[obsidian patio]

Pretty much never

[cerulean grove]

lb = low blow?

[heavy cave]

limit break

[cerulean grove]

oh

yea i guess not unless shit goes down and people about to die

and its still available

[hot eagle]

only a few duties need tank lb but it's only maybe 2 or 3

[calm phoenix]

I was told the billing cycle is going to be the 14th so. And They still did a test charge despite the fact that I purchased Bennu the same day and that was charged immediately?

[scenic jungle]

the only time I've seen a good use for LB as tank is if everybody else is dead and you think you can finish the boss

[obsidian patio]

Outside of cheesing mechanics, It’s only really used in stuff that specifically ask for it

[heavy cave]

i feel like its meant to save up for dps so

ok!

[obsidian patio]

Like the new trial

[calm phoenix]

Why am I not allowed to choose another character from the drop down list when trying to buy the dote emote? Only my main shows up. I cannot even buy it for my wife's character

[vital ruin]

Why am I not getting the current fashion report in the bot spam channel

[cerulean grove]

Since were on the discussion of tanks. Is it ever worthwhile using interject? I've never been able to use it properly. Like whenever an aoe is intercetable, you can usually also stun the guy and using lb or shield bash is better for that

[oak ice]

!faq interrupt

[zinc orbit]

Interrupt

[cerulean grove]

do you often find enemies that have interrubtable attacks but are not stunnable?

oooo

[calm phoenix]

Nobody knows why I cannot buy it for other characters?

[vocal shell]

@vital ruin Fashion Reports are on fridays

It’ll get updated then

[hot eagle]

Why am I not getting the current fashion report in the bot spam channel
@vital ruin comes out sometimes on friday

[heavy cave]

Since were on the discussion of tanks. Is it ever worthwhile using interject? I've never been able to use it properly. Like whenever an aoe is intercetable, you can usually also stun the guy and using lb or shield bash is better for that
@cerulean grove

i dont think ive ever successfully used this yet

[calm phoenix]

Why is nobody helping me??

[vocal shell]

You can only use interject one specific skills

the ones with the lines around the cast bar

[heavy cave]

Why is nobody helping me??
@calm phoenix
probably no one knows how to help? haha

[vocal shell]

Like the one in the picture above

[heavy cave]

Like the one in the picture above
@vocal shell
oh i see!! ty

[cerulean grove]

Is there a time when one is able to get a party for Syrcus tower?

I've been searching for hours

[vital ruin]

o oke

[vocal shell]

Syrcus Tower is in alliance raid roulette

and since it’s mandatory for MSQ you’ll eventually find a party

in DF

[cerulean grove]

does it help if i change world?

and how did i do that

[vocal shell]

Duty Finder

just queue in normally

[cerulean grove]

no i ment change world

[untold sand]

is the crystal tower a deep dungeon?

[cerulean grove]

how do i change world

[vocal shell]

Doesn’t matter
