oak ice
#

Yeah, good point

crimson wind
#

What's the fastest possible time for every ShB leveling dungeon?

oak smelt
#

was this added with the last patch? i dont remember seeing this before.

oak ice
#

It's been for a long time

oak smelt
#

hmm. i never saw it when i was on the JP server, only after i switched to EU. i havent changed any of the settings.

oak ice
#

Hmmmm, fastest I've ever done in a leveling dungeon in ShB was around 12-13 minutes

earnest cloak
#

I'm on JP at the moment (playing from Aus) but my ping is better to US.

Are there a decent number of Aussies on US, or are we still mostly on JP?

#

Also make AU servers plz, thx

remote lintel
#

tonberry is the aus world iirc

#

on jp

earnest cloak
#

yeah thats where I am

oak smelt
#

yeah. tho most english speakers on ton are sea i think.

#

there is one US world which is known for australian players but i dont know which

earnest cloak
#

I dont mind playing with SEA players tbth, so long as there is no language barrier Im all G

#

I play WoW with people from Singapore, Philippines, etc - theyre all super nice

patent citrus
#

AU usually resides either in Adamantoise/Behemoth if you are interested in moving to NA DC

#

but you will most likely meet up with Yanks and not people from SEA since they will get lower ping in JP

serene bison
#

Question for leveling past 30 besides main story quest what's another way to level?

#

Without road to 70 buff

strange coral
#

plain python
#

is it possible to glamor red mage outfit on a dragoon? like that Freya in FF9 😛

halcyon glen
#

the short version of that is "just run dungeons"

quasi widget
#

not for now

faint flare
#

No, glamour is role lockes

#

You cant glamour another jobs gear onto another job

crimson wind
#

How can I find the dps required for certain percentiles in FFLogs?

#

Like, if I want to find out how much it takes to get Blue on GNB in E6S

plain python
#

where is a good place to farm elemental crystal in ARR? I want to craft some glamor crystal. Or it will become more common in HW onward?

patent citrus
#

i think you can plant them, hmm

#

not sure myself, always bought them in mb

marble drift
#

everyone just gets their glamour prisms from the Grand Company vendor Momo

sturdy hemlock
#

Hey dumb question but like, do Automaton Queen's Weaponskills count towards Wildfire? They're technically not "your" attacks so?

faint flare
#

No

#

They dont

marble drift
#

and hey they changed the tooltip for that recently too. at least it brought up the question to people

sturdy hemlock
#

Oh good, I'm not as stupid as I thought. @faint flare Zank yuu

drifting burrow
#

is there a way to bypass the 6-man mechanic in containment bay z1t9 extreme? (whm, pld)

marble drift
#

thats zurvan right?

faint flare
#

Meteors?

drifting burrow
#

yes

#

yes

marble drift
#

just...kill him

faint flare
#

Mitigation

#

Like alot

scarlet sandal
#

Shouldn't he be dead by then unsync

faint flare
#

Also that

marble drift
#

he'd die well before that with a full squad of 80's

drifting burrow
#

we're only doing it with 2 ppl, white mage and paladin peepoSadCat

scarlet sandal
#

If he's not dead by that point then your party's damage is lacking

#

I see

marble drift
#

well uhh go get some more helpers?

#

skip soar! and all that

faint flare
#

HG through and throw more mitigation up

scarlet sandal
#

skip soar or disband

#

also skip Satasha clams or disband

fervent silo
#

so i've just done 6 fates in il mheg and my progress isn't showing up in the shared fates window. i've talked to the gam trader npc too, so i don't know what's happening

violet lava
#

Cerberus armor is absolutely broken on WoD, his head is clipping through the armor, and when the armor breaks, the model remains the same, with the glitched armor. Is this a graphic drivers problem? Files problem? or is this a problem at SE's end?

marble drift
#

well they did could Six.

#

you need something like 60 fates to reach max rank from fresh or something

fervent silo
#

yeah that's for rank 3

quasi widget
#

last time I did wod it was a bit broken yeah

#

like the animation for his parts being broken off didnt finish

violet lava
#

but in your cerberus, did the armor break?

normal breach
#

how long does 1 hour in ff14 last irl?

violet lava
#

mine the animation happens but it stays literally the same model

twilit arch
#

2minutes and 55s @normal breach

normal breach
#

so if a node is up for 3 hours

#

thats only 9 mins?

twilit arch
#

yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there like a storage place to store my extra items?

normal breach
#

chocobo saddle and retainers - could also do armory chest in inn

How does instance work in eureka? Last week I saw people jumping from instance to instance and doing 3 Cassies in under 30 minutes

blissful lava
#

Hello, if I change my GC from Immortal Flames to The other Two, will I be able to view my stored stuff in the Company Chest?

vernal urchin
#

The company chest is tied to the free company, not the grand company, so yes

blissful lava
#

Oh Silly Me 💙 Thank You

zinc crater
#

is there a crystal based crafting discord?

blissful lava
#

Its 30 days if I want to transfer again correct ?

limber walrus
#

Hey guys so this is a random question....but does anyone know anything about running a discord server for your fc? Trying to make it so people are forced to pick roles when entering, like "heavensward" or "shadowbringers" to lock or unlock certain chat channels

zinc crater
#

by assigning roles

#

only those roles can see what you want them to see

limber walrus
#

I'm trying to make people assign themselves the roles so they can turn it on or off anytime

#

Like in #intro or something

zinc crater
#

it seems complex but get in there and mess around and youll find it easy

limber walrus
#

Hmm ok

zinc crater
#

self assigning roles are tricky, but can be done

leaden ginkgo
#

question, after we finish current msq content (till shb) when is the next expac expected to hit? Does it come all at once or is it just a set of quests every few months?

zinc crater
#

more to come

limber walrus
#

I also want to make an "active" role, so that I can tag people who are active and people who are on a break from the game won't be notified

#

And they can take it off themselves if they are taking a break

zinc crater
#

that you would asssign them otherwise youre taling complex

limber walrus
#

Hmm ok

zinc crater
#

just get in and make one and try things out before you invite

remote lintel
#

@leaden ginkgo next year prob fall

#

it comes all at once

faint flare
#

The base story anyway

leaden ginkgo
#

so a set of like, 100+ quests all at once?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Whole story for 10 levels

leaden ginkgo
#

what about the patches, such as 5.1, 5.2

faint flare
#

Those come after

leaden ginkgo
#

i saw that 5.2 came out back in february, so have you guys been several months for new content?

faint flare
#

It would have been, july wasn't it?

#

If it wasn't for corona

leaden ginkgo
#

ooh it got delayed

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Major patches are typically 3months/16 weeks apart

#

Give or take

leaden ginkgo
#

okay cuz i was under the assumption that we just buy a sub for the month, finish the new patch quests and wait till next patch a few months later

faint flare
#

And SE likes to adhere to their schedule

leaden ginkgo
#

assuming we're caught up with the story

faint flare
#

Rona made the content drought worst this time, especially since it was after a even patch

#

Odd patches only come with 24man and whatever side content they wanna bring

#

Even patches come with the actual 8man raids and new gear tier and usually lasts abit longer before people get bored again

limber walrus
#

Is there a bot for ff14 to make people make a profile for themselves? Like usernames, preferred jobs, etc

surreal geyser
#

Well I've managed to hit 80 on my botanist and miner through diadem alone. Anyone know if its a good place to grind fishing too ?

limber walrus
#

It is

#

Though regular fishing is pretty good too

surreal geyser
#

it's been so long since I fished in game. Any tips on what to fish for in there?

leaden ginkgo
#

@remote lintel whoa so, we're not getting any new msq content until 2021 fall?

#

cuz i thought 5.3 was the last Shb patch

twilit arch
#

no

#

5.3 is the end of shadowbringers "story", we still have 5.4 and 5.5 to go thru

#

.4 and .5 are generally the lead up into the next expac's story

leaden ginkgo
#

and we can expect 5.4 to release about 3 months after 5.3's release

#

so on and so forth

twilit arch
#

assuming no more delay.

leaden ginkgo
#

right

remote lintel
#

6.0 is the next expansion

#

5.X is still shb

candid phoenix
#

Hey all. So I originally downloaded the game from the website, played the free trial for a couple of days. This is a brand new PC I just put together on Tuesday. Today, I bought the Complete Edition through steam. When I try to launch from steam, I get an error message that WMVCore.dll is not found (even though it's in the boot folder and I have confirmed this myself)

When I try to launch it from the Square Enix folder on my C: drive, the error message is that I don't have the appropriate license.

Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? I really want to play the game now that I just bought a sub lol

granite swan
#

Might need to re-DL the game via steam, they are seperate, but i forget the exact details

candid phoenix
#

But I just finished downloading the game on steam 😦

#

That's disappointing

granite swan
#

oh that seems to be a win10 file, have u updated ur comp?

normal breach
#

what are rewards to doing hunt trains?

granite swan
candid phoenix
#

It says it's fully updated

#

oh okay I'll copy/paste to there, thanks

crimson notch
#

hi. may i ask where can i get lvl 60 armor crafting recipes?

candid phoenix
#

Problem solved! I copy/pasted the correct DLL files to my System32 folder

surreal geyser
#

I think all the special recipes are sold in idylshire

granite swan
#

@candid phoenix oh its working now? Nice 😉

analog gate
#

what are rewards to doing hunt trains?
@normal breach seals for ARR/HW/SB hunts, nutsacks for ShB hunts
those are all basically hunt currencies you can trade for stuffs

remote lintel
#

and tomes

scarlet sandal
#

free teleports

surreal geyser
#

Desynthing used to have certain caps i remember, like you could only raise 2 to max i think. is that still a thing?

errant rock
#

If a boost a job how do I get the story line armor for them

#

Relic armor or artifact whatever it’s called

whole wasp
#

Gone. You can max all crafter desynth

surreal geyser
#

that's wonderful

dapper maple
#

does anyone know if youre still able to get rathalos mount?????

whole wasp
#

You can

surreal geyser
#

you can

leaden ginkgo
#

whats the difference between primal accessories for fending vs. slaying? i'm playing a bard as a main

whole wasp
#

Just do the rathalos trial

dapper maple
#

omg!

#

thanks~!

whole wasp
#

Fending is tank gear. Slaying is melee gear. For bard you want aiming gear.

twilit arch
#

fending is for tanks, slaying is for melee (except ninja) as a bard you want aiming

surreal geyser
#

I need to do that myself

grizzled mural
#

Is there a website for drop tables for trials?

leaden ginkgo
#

ohh. maybe i'll get those as a reward option after this quest. i was just wondering for the level 60 against the dying light quest

whole wasp
#

Rathalos is a Stormblood trial. As a lvl 80, you should be able to crush that jerk.

surreal geyser
#

I wish

#

he's not that easy sadly

potent lava
#

So looking at old dungeon guides, are the red danger zones the old version of the orange zone attacks or is that an option one can toggle

raw solstice
#

just an old version of AoE indicators yeah, not an option to toggle

whole wasp
#

Might be possible to mess with it with colorblind mode?

#

Not sure if it will affect AoE

errant laurel
#

Just did my first Recipe for Ishgardian restoration and I can´t redeem it. Can anyone help me?

remote lintel
#

did you raise the collectability enough

errant laurel
#

Don´t think so

remote lintel
#

you need to

errant laurel
#

How do I do that?

remote lintel
#

increase quality

#

need at least 50 collectability

errant laurel
#

Oh, so this one I made is worth nothing now?

remote lintel
#

yep

errant laurel

turbid thorn
#

Has anyone relocated their apartment before? I believe you have to give up your current apartment before you can purchase a new one. In that case, what happens to furniture in storage and in the apartment if you do not remove them? Does it go into a holding storage or does it go bye-bye?

errant laurel
#

Thanks

woeful nacelle
#

Can you do the Savage floor that gives tokens for the Edenchoir wep unlimited now?

twilit arch
#

yes

little swift
#

that said, its not an easy floor to complete

pine phoenix
#

how often does mogstation stuff go back on sale? barely missed the last one because i just moved to full from trial and i'm not sure if i should wait to get some stuff i want

hot crane
#

hi, I always thought that for whm, the priority of stat is Cri > Det > DH, yet it seems sometimes people prefer to choose DH over Det on certain gear like earrings when only the two state are viable to meld in.

#

I am a bit confused

twilit arch
#

the difference between det and dh is basically personally preference

whole wasp
#

Crit > DH =Det

#

Yea pick whichever

twilit arch
#

DH offers more damage, Det is safer

#

since it boosts both healing and damage

hot crane
#

oh I see!

whole wasp
#

That said. Either choice is a miniscule change.

hot crane
#

thanks 😄

whole wasp
#

Its mostly for your own satisfaction

gilded forge
#

So my GF and I just ran POTD for the first time on new characters. At the end I got something like 44k EXP and she got like 2k. Is there a reason she got nothing?

hot crane
#

hmm I'd prolly pick det tho

#

since healing it's my main job

#

ty

manic flare
#

will i be able to change my recruit squadron's chemistry later on if i assign a chemistry?

remote lintel
#

if you get a new one yes

manic flare
#

will i keep getting new ones?

remote lintel
#

its rng

manic flare
#

so assigning a chemistry to a squadron member doesn't mean she won't get a new chemistry, correct?

whole wasp
#

Correct

remote lintel
#

you will get more chemistry eventually

whole wasp
#

You keep getting new chemistries

#

Then you decide if you wanna overwrite the old one.

leaden ginkgo
#

can anyone help me finish HW final dungeon

loud moth
#

So I figured I'd try the free trial but it turns out the account I can log into square-enix-games.com with doesn't work at square-enix.com which is where you have to log in to get the free trial. Is this a familiar problem with a resolution that lets me keep my dang screen name and e-mail address?

remote lintel
#

you need to make a mogstation account

#

im assuming youre trying to use your square enix store account

granite swan
#

@gilded forge Are you different levels?

loud moth
#

So they actually are two completely separate systems, which means my password is wrong, which means I need to reset a decade old password by answering a security question I likely lied on... got it. LOL

gilded forge
#

We are, yes

#

I went in as a level 23, she went in at level 1

granite swan
#

Thats why u got diff xp

gilded forge
#

Is it a normal thing that she got so little though?

normal breach
#

do people still do shared fates in shb? i never see people and as a tank player its timely to do them solo lmao

granite swan
#

ya

#

its based on level

gilded forge
#

o i c

granite swan
#

id run around and do hunt log till like 12-15

#

then it should give nice xp

remote lintel
#

@loud moth it means you need to create a mogstation account which is entirely separate from the SE store account

loud moth
#

It already has my email registered though

remote lintel
#

did you sign up here?

loud moth
#

Which means I already have an account there but it doesn't like my passwords

#

I can't register a new account because it already has my old account

remote lintel
#

so you've played ff14 before?

loud moth
#

Maybe the beta for the original?

#

Honestly can't remember

remote lintel
#

dont think the free trial would work then

#

you would be better off making a new mogstation acc

loud moth
#

this is pre-reborn

#

I'm stuck changing the password because I don't know which security question/answer combo I picked in 2010 lol

remote lintel
#

just make a new account

#

even if you got in to your old one it probably wouldnt work anyway

wispy basalt
#

is scholar that bad

remote lintel
#

no

wispy basalt
#

most of people choose wm and ast instead scholar

gilded forge
#

I love playing scholar

remote lintel
#

because white mage is easier and ast looks cooler

twilit arch
#

white mage is easier

remote lintel
#

its preference

twilit arch
#

ast brings cards

wispy basalt
#

i mean

gilded forge
#

Scholar can give REALLY nice preventitive heals

#

Big shield

wispy basalt
#

people complain about scholar dps

remote lintel
#

ast has the worst personal dps

wispy basalt
#

i really love scholar shields

remote lintel
#

then play it

wispy basalt
#

👀

twilit arch
#

play whatever you want

#

there's no job that's so bad that it is an active hinderance to your group

wispy basalt
#

gotta recharge sub fee after 1 week since it expire

#

😆 thanks for helping

halcyon kite
#

how does one get ultimate dreadwyrm weapons

wispy basalt
#

but i really need to train myself for healing it's hard for me

#

remote lintel
#

halcyon kite
#

remote lintel
#

twilit arch
#

warped nest
#

leaden ginkgo
#

leaden ginkgo
#

blue mage?

twilit arch
#

halcyon kite
#

leaden ginkgo
#

xD

warped nest
#

Then once you hit max rank, you get a side quest to proceed to the next rank

manic flare
#

@warped nest @remote lintel how many daily quests do i have to do to unlock the rank up quest?

halcyon kite
#

ah yes

remote lintel
#

it varies per rank

warped nest
#

@manic flare I don't remember

twilit arch
#

blue mage is a limited job, and doesn't really into this conversation

manic flare
#

i'm a neutral right now

remote lintel
#

@manic flare

halcyon kite
#

bouta get golden raid loot for my level 1 marauder

twilit arch
#

twilit arch
#

for instance content, that is

halcyon kite
#

you can’t play it outside of premise groups?

#

can you unsynch it?

warped nest
#

No

#

Ultimate is meant to be the ultimate challenge in game

halcyon kite
#

fuck

warped nest
#

You can't unsync it

halcyon kite
#

time to shoot myself in the foot

little swift
#

i mean its not unseen for there to be partyfinder groups of it

#

but its highly unlikely those will result in clears

manic flare
#

@remote lintel so i have to do quests to obtain 150 points to unlock the next rank up quest to improve my relations rank?

warped nest
#

Yes

#

Do those daily quests issued by the beast tribe NPC

#

Turn in to get points

#

Repeat the next day

manic flare
#

can i rank up in one day?

warped nest
#

No

manic flare
#

if i do all the quests?

remote lintel
#

for the first one prob

#

first rank*

#

depending on the tribe

warped nest
#

Imma stick to no

#

Because it is a no for most cases

remote lintel
#

usually it takes about a month to get max rank

#

i know for moogles it takes 40 days

warped nest
#

Yeah

manic flare
#

for squad recruits with unique outfits, do their outfits change if you change their class?

twilit arch
#

no

halcyon kite
#

where do i get the emporer’s new set

remote lintel
#

vesper bay

halcyon kite
#

how much?

remote lintel
#

cheap

halcyon kite
#

alright

#

thank you

gilded forge
#

Does that include the weapon?

#

(For monk at least)

twilit arch
#

you need to have a lvl 15 crafter to buy it from the vesperbay merchant

#

as it requires you to do the quest to unlock prism crafting

#

and yes the emperor's new fists are also bought from that vendor

gilded forge
#

Super, thanks!

Does anyone here know if there's a known issue for the Let Luck Be a Moogle achievement not counting up properly? It's the one for getting first prize in Kupo of Fortune.

wild sparrow
#

i want to try the free demo (until level 60), but it's not letting me log in.
because i had it before and i also have the whole game.

#

am i just not able to use the free trial?

#

okay wait. i have a clearer explanation.

#

"I originally had the subscription service. I just recently got back on, but want to play free trial since it got extended, but it won't let me log into the client, saying I need the subscription service. I tried uninstalling the regular client, and installing the free trial client, but it just installed the regular one again and gave me the same issue as before.

marble drift
#

You can't use the same account

#

that had a subscription

#

to play the free trial

wild sparrow
#

Uh, that's depressing.

#

Thank you.

slate crow
#

What exactly is a congested world?

gloomy ice
#

A world that can't accept new or transferred characters

#

At all.

Anybody know how upgrading from the free trial to full game (on steam) works?

#

when you buy the game thru steam, there's a cd key in your steam library that you apply to your mogstation account

slate crow
#

Got a notification that switching to a different world is free abd I can even get a mount out of it.

deft quiver
#

how do i know which fate bosses are not 1-shot able?

gloomy ice
#

@slate crow That bonus applies only when transferring from a Congested world to a Preferred. You won't get the Road to 70 buff but the transfer is free, the gil cap is removed, you get 10 gold chocobo feathers (which, yes, can be used to buy a mount you otherwise can't get), and if you have a house or apartment you will be reimbursed its total land cost and an additional amount for any furnishings you may have had to give up.

blissful pine
#

why cant i find anyone doing the emanation trial? pepe

remote lintel
#

fate bosses aren't one shottable unless youre blu

#

@blissful pine are you doing it unsynced

blissful pine
#

first time

#

so it should be synced

remote lintel
#

then nobody is going to do it

#

do it unsynced

robust crow
#

you're queueing for it through duty finder right?

blissful pine
#

oh damn
yes

robust crow
#

emanation should be part of one of the roulettes

remote lintel
#

oh i thought they meant EX

#

then yeah just a long queue

robust crow
#

so you should naturally be paired with like, people doing trials roulette or something

#

are you on aether? i'll give you a healer queue

remote lintel
#

primal

robust crow
#

oof

blissful pine
#

yeah got it
ill just chill for a bit then
im on primal
yeah :'))

#

thanks for the offer though

remote lintel
#

eh i could do it real fast

granite swan

What are the fates for in the firmament?

cinder maple
#

What should I do with old non pink/green/blue gear that I've used? Doesn't seem like I can sell them or convert them into seals

deft quiver
#

What are the fates for in the firmament?
@twilit schooner they give 500 skybuilder scrips, a good chunk of xp and 2000 gil

#

worth it for 5 minutes of doing basically nothing

twilit schooner
#

shit i think i won't make it

#

is it over soon?

deft quiver
#

its based on server afaik

twilit schooner
#

fck i'm in msq

wanton shadow
#

alright I got a bit of a doozy of a question

marble drift
#

how dare you Carry on

wanton shadow
#

and I seem to have to go through a million hoops to get it upgraded from previous forms n all that

#

do I lose those prior forms as potential glamours when I upgrade it?

marble drift
#

yes and no

#

you get the ability to buy replica versions

jade quartz
#

No, you can purchase statless "replica" versions of previous stages of the weapon

marble drift
#

once you pass the step

jade quartz
#

for glamour purposes

wanton shadow
#

are they expensive to buy

#

or just formality

jade quartz
#

not at all

marble drift
#

pocket change

twilit arch
#

they're like under 200gil

wanton shadow
#

alright and uhh, how long is this going to take...in terms of my sanity

hard ginkgo
#

hello, may I ask something regarding game versions, if that's okay? i'm a new player and i'm not sure about the clear difference between the steam and SE versions

twilit arch
#

depends on how much you're willing to grind poetics

jade quartz
#

could knock it out in a few weeks

wanton shadow
#

WEEKS!?

#

bruh wtf

jade quartz
#

Anima weapons are the easiest relic to grind nowadays

#

it's just poetics

marble drift
#

They used to be used for stats remember. So it was a big long grind for a very good weapon

wanton shadow
#

how many poetics are we talking

patent citrus
#

oh anima weapons

twilit arch
#

the only real difference between steam and SE is that you're locked into steam for any and all future expansion purchases and you can use steam wallet to pay for sub/optional items @hard ginkgo

jade quartz
#

Uhh

hard ginkgo
#

oh okay! thank you very much!

gusty pasture
#

Hi I need help. RAmuh extreme is not appearing in my quests despite beating the every other extremes the quest doesnt show up in new gridania

twilit arch
#

its like around 13k~ give or take

jade quartz
#

Some of the items are available from multiple sources so sometimes it's not all poetics

hard ginkgo
#

that's EXACTLY what i wanted to know LOL, thank you for answering!

do you also purchase subscriptions using steam wallet?

wanton shadow
#

jesus thats a lot @twilit arch

hard ginkgo
#

and are there any sub/optional items that are in SE that aren't in steam, as well?

patent citrus
#

i think you gotta beat the hard first for ramuh hmm

wanton shadow
#

this might be too large of a task for my sanity lol

jade quartz
#

If you did purely poetics for everything it would be getting near 20K poetics

#

it's not too bad

marble drift
#

it doesn't have to be done in 1 sitting

gusty pasture
#

already did beat hard ramuh it's part of the MSQ

jade quartz
#

poetics stack up really easily

hard ginkgo
#

and last thing: i wanted to know if you can use your free trial character for steam too? 👀 i'm sorry about the myriad of questions, i just wanted to make sure that i'm doing stuff right

marble drift
#

you can put it off and come back to every now and a again

patent citrus
#

the extreme one is optional i think

twilit arch
#

no, everyone goes thru mogstation for account stuff and optional items. so steam doesn't have different optional items @hard ginkgo

patent citrus
#

you gotta speak to related beastribe to unlock

twilit arch
#

and yes, you won't lose your character when you upgrade

hard ginkgo
#

thank you very much! i heard a LOT of bad things about the steam version and it's my only method of payment, so

patent citrus
#

well if you play a lot of steam market

#

it can be really cheap

jade quartz
#

Steam version is fine and good

#

there are no really significant drawbacks.

wanton shadow
#

so I'd have to grind all these quests+poetic for 1 job's anima weapon?

#

or do I get em all

jade quartz
#

You probably heard a lot of bs

hard ginkgo
#

okay okay, good to know tyvm

maybe i shouldn't have checked reddit about that LOL

patent citrus
#

those items from popular steam games sometimes worth like $1k lol

lone zephyr
#

What does the request meld interaction do?

patent citrus
#

drop from loot chest

marble drift
#

asks the player to meld your gear.

jade quartz
#

Lets you ask another player to overmeld your gear for you

#

as materia melder NPCs can only meld into the guaranteed base materia slots

#

need players to go beyond the base one or two slots, up to the max of five.

patent citrus
#

which job has higher success chace to meld?

jade quartz
#

and that requires a crafting class.

#

None

marble drift
#

all the same Vielen

patent citrus
#

ah ok

twilit arch
#

chance to meld is based on the slot and materia grade

#

has nothing to do with the class

lone zephyr
#

Thank you so much for the explanation

scarlet sandal
#

overmelding is just depressing

#

fail after fail

robust tendon
#

Yes

#

It hurts

#

So much

#

I tried overmelding at lvl 50

#

End me

patent citrus
#

is it required? overmelding?

twilit arch
#

no

patent citrus
#

or is it just convenience thing

robust tendon
#

Quick question. I am lvl 60

jade quartz
#

It's rather high-level minmaxing for certain things

robust tendon
#

For omni cradt

twilit arch
#

its basically only really a thing if you're a. a serious end-game crafter/gatherer, or b. a hardcore raider doing day 1 savage raiding

jade quartz
#

namely early progression raiding with crafted gear, and getting max crafter/gatherer stats for the highest-level crafts and materials.

patent citrus
#

why do you need to overmeld as lv 60?

#

🤔

jade quartz
#

You don't.

patent citrus
#

@robust tendon

#

ah ok

robust tendon
#

I am behind on my quest

lone zephyr
#

Wait can i request meld on free trial?

robust tendon
#

I thought

#

I had to meld

#

To make he gear

#

XD

#

Should I go msq

#

Then do crafters?

#

Or do both?

scarlet sandal
#

you can ignore materia till 80 pretty sure

jade quartz
#

Crafters are a totally optional part of the game.

#

Get into it whenever you want, or never

patent citrus
#

you can do what you like haha, but better finished hw first before doing crafting

shut kelp
#

Well that's if you don't want cool mounts

robust tendon
#

I am

#

Finished with hw

patent citrus
#

I didn't touch crafting until i reached mid of SB (now) lol

robust tendon
#

In storm blood rn

shut kelp
#

From beast tribes

robust tendon
#

And I omni craftes

patent citrus
#

ah same then

robust tendon
#

The whole way

shut kelp
#

I've got all crafters at 50+

#

None at 80 yet

robust tendon
#

60 + for me

hard ginkgo
#

hello! one last question, i've been trying to properly register for the free trial but uh:

for reference i don't use any vpn, removed my adblock, and i've already waited a complete 24 hours--since i heard it goes away within 24 hour. should i try contacting customer support? o:

robust tendon
#

And my highest class is 67

patent citrus
#

i2501 seems pretty common

#

there's a troubleshooter for that

hard ginkgo
#

i've read all reddit posts regarding it i'm pretty sure, to no avail so far

#

a troubleshooter? eyesvi i've also sifted through the discord for any answers and i've also tried some sites, but uh

patent citrus
#

i mean troubleshooting document, sorry

wanton shadow
#

when I do the quest for an anima weapon, do I have to do it again for each weapon/job

hard ginkgo
#

oh! a troubleshooting document, is there uh, any way i can find it?

velvet fossil
#

if someone takes from your FC chest (like, everything), can they be reported? or can nothing be done since they had the permissions to access it

robust tendon
#

Not sure

cinder maple
#

What should I do with old non pink/green/blue gear that I've used? Doesn't seem like I can sell them or convert them into seals. Is my only option to discard them?

robust tendon
#

Maybe talk to mods? In game?

#

Desynth

#

For the old items

#

If you have crafting unlocked

patent citrus
#

i've always sold mine to npc damn

cinder maple
#

Oh gotcha. Guess I have to level crafters then

jade quartz
#

@wanton shadow yes, each job has to make their own weapon and go through all the steps.

warped nest
#

@cinder maple you can only trade dungeon/raid gear for GC seals once you reach 2nd lieutenant in your Grand Company

wanton shadow
#

ahhhh this is way too much work lol

lone zephyr
#

Can I request melds on free trial?

I really need to know because I want to do the relic quest

cinder maple
#

@warped nest yeah but you can't trade white gears

warped nest
#

You can ask Melder NPC to do it for you

jade quartz
#

@velvet fossil unfortunately judging by many past stories of such things happening, GMs will not action players from taking from your chest--it's judged as an internal FC matter as they had the permissions.

scarlet sandal
#

there isnt much to u can do with the chest

lone zephyr
#

You can ask Melder NPC to do it for you
Oh really?

warped nest
#

@cinder maple oh, I didn't see the non in non blue/green, yeah, for white rarity, either sell to NPC or Desynth

remote lintel
#

melder npcs meld things for a small fee

#

you dont need players

#

actually

scarlet sandal

if its thro allowed in game means even if its scummy they wont punish it like how people have MANY houses

i'll look at it, thank you

warped nest
#

They can't punish people with many houses

lone zephyr
#

if its thro allowed in game means even if its scummy they wont punish it like how people have MANY houses
Honestly if they arent botting then I'm fine with it

warped nest
#

As it was an oversight in SE end

jade quartz
#

People having many houses is no longer a significant issue except for those grandfathered in from the previous system.

#

It is no longer possible for the same account to have alts with houses on the same server.

scarlet sandal
#

I'm talking about the guy who has like an entire ward or two to himself I'm pretty sure that's a thing

warped nest
#

Yes it is a thing

#

And it SE find no foul play

patent citrus
#

really? haha what's the purpose? power play?

warped nest
#

Then SE cannot just take it away from them

jade quartz
#

If so it's grandfathered in from before they fixed it, or they literally own multiple accounts in which case I guess they've paid for it

scarlet sandal
#

It was allowed with previous systems and they can't just take it away

#

It sucks but there's nothing they can really deal about it because it was all officially allowed

warped nest
#

It was SE's oversight

#

That's why it was changed

patent citrus
#

now, you can only own 1?

scarlet sandal
#

its more on the guy himself at this point tho im sure he rmts them off or somthing

warped nest
#

Now you need to camp in front of a house/plot

#

Waiting for a hidden timer

#

To unlock the house/plot for purchase

jade quartz
#

If you own a free company then you can have a company estate too

#

so effectively max 2

scarlet sandal
#

The most you can technically going is 3 right now a personal house a free company house and a apartment

jade quartz
#

well apartments are separate

granite swan
#

and if you want a house, enjoy your 72 hourish camping marathon :p

patent citrus
#

company estate? private room in fc house?

scarlet sandal
#

I believe I got my house before before the invisible timer was a thing?

jade quartz
#

I don't think there are any accounts of it being over 72 hours

#

that's an exaggeration

scarlet sandal
#

I started around post SB

jade quartz
#

more like 30 hours from vacated plot at the most

scarlet sandal
#

But I was able to just go and buy it and there was nobody around

jade quartz
#

but that's rare

#

usually seems to be under 12 hours

hot eagle
#

could also wait for 5.35 when we get new wards that are free for all to get not like it's sometimes for fc only for a time

scarlet sandal
#

There was a small plot open I was almost tempted to relocate

#

But there was a lot of people there in the Goblet is kind of ugly

#

The new houses are going to be taking up like people on the Black Friday sale or something

#

They won't last long

hot eagle
#

ppl mostly get a small ugly one so they can relocate later and skip the timer

static yacht
#

^

jade quartz
#

that's the way yeah

scarlet sandal
#

I saw a medium onece but that was back when I was a bit more poor and I was missing like 6 mil to relocate

jade quartz
#

get a small to have a foothold in the housing market

static yacht
#

typically people will buy a plot in the goblet

#

cause its typically the least popular

jade quartz
#

ezpz

#

then you're set to relocate

static yacht
#

and then relocate to another housing district

patent citrus
#

no way to move my diadem bazooka layout?

#

can't find it in my hud layout

scarlet sandal
#

It's under that Duty subsection

jade quartz
#

tick the box for "duty" in HUD layout

patent citrus
#

ty ty

#

Guys just wondering if you see random smoke/gas in diadem

#

that often blur your character and surroundings

#

or is it just me?

soft flicker
#

how do i become a scholar :o?

#

i just hit 30 and did the summoner quest

patent citrus
#

arcanist lv 30

leaden ginkgo
#

as a new player, clearing the crystal tower can be held off until way later right ?

#

( asking for a friend )

soft flicker
#

yeah im an arcanist level 30 tonberry but im not sure where the quest come sform where

vocal shell
#

Crystal Tower is mandatory for msq

patent citrus
#

i would suggest do it since it unlocks alliance duty roulette

soft flicker
#

really*

#

oh wait nvm im dumb i tihnk, i found it

leaden ginkgo
#

que times are crazy though any suggestions ? he plays tank too

patent citrus
#

hmm i think arcanist in limsa lominsa

warped nest
#

Tank queue is probably worse in alliance raid

patent citrus
#

alliance raid often requires dps more than tank

warped nest
#

3 tank slot, 24 players total needed

patent citrus
#

at least that's what im getting from duty roulette

leaden ginkgo
#

i was gonna try to party find it b/c that’s what i did for the SB one ( shb relic )

celest bison
#

how many skybuilders scrips were reduced to now when turning in crafted items? i havent resubbed

warped nest
#

Just queue for Crystal Tower raids directly

leaden ginkgo
#

ok i’ll tell them to do that and just grind msq in the meantime

gusty pasture
#

okay so I did the sylph beast tribe quest in Gridania and extreme ramuh still not showiung up

#

the quest to unlock it, that is

#

should I just contact SE support?

warped nest
#

you need slyph beast tribe to get ex Ramuh?

celest bison
#

no lol

patent citrus
#

i don't think so

leaden ginkgo
#

extremes are only for mounts right ?

warped nest
#

Mounts, and glowy weapons for glamour

celest bison
#

u unlock them after beating hard versions and then talk to the people to unlock extreme versions

leaden ginkgo
#

hmmm now i’m interested lol

gusty pasture
#

ramuh mount is the last one I need for the kirin

patent citrus
#

im not sure how i got mine, but the blue quests popped up on the route when i did my MSQ

little swift
#

past this quest

leaden ginkgo
#

also last question but at level 50 crafters best gear should just be bought in ishgaurd ?

gusty pasture
#

I am past that quest

#

I just finished HW last night

#

finished all of the extremes except ramuh since I dont see the quest to unlock it anywhere

warped nest
#

Ideally, you shouldn't be buying NQ white gear

#

NQ gear have neutered stats

#

HQ gears have correct stat matching their item level

leaden ginkgo
#

so just craft some level 52 hq gear ?

celest bison
#

u want to buy green/blue ones with crafters yellow scrips

little swift
#

whats your quest journal looking like

warped nest
#

That said, if your current gear is terrible

gusty pasture
#

AHHHH okay now I see

gusty pasture
patent citrus
#

if you haven't finished one of those

gusty pasture
#

this scarlet girl is showing a level 1 quest

#

BUT

celest bison
#

theres a vendor in illdyshire where u can buy some

patent citrus
#

ah yea that one

little swift
#

its right at the adders hq

gusty pasture
#

so no wonder it doesnt show up haha

#

okay thanks guys Im just an idiot

warped nest
#

No problem, you idiot

#

Well, at least you asked here first

#

Before you try to contact SE

patent citrus
#

i use npc gears for lv 50 crafter haha..

#

the blue/green one is so expensive...

#

and im cheap -_-

scarlet sandal
#

Just find a friend to get your gear

warped nest
#

a cheap crafter would have made those gears themselves

#

And would never pay NPC a dime

#

If you are powerleveling fast with Ishgardian restoration

patent citrus
#

but the ingredients cost the same as total when i tried to craft haha..

warped nest
#

That's why you level gatherer too XD

patent citrus
#

yeah i lack patience..

warped nest
#

That's how you become rich from crafting

patent citrus
#

i level'd my botanist from 20-40 in a day, and just touched it again after i reached 60+ as my weaver and culinarian

warped nest
#

(I have 100 mil, from half assing my crafting stuff and being a cheapskate, imagine what I can make, if I grind for real)

patent citrus
#

yeah, i didn't have that in mind when i level'd my crafter haha

#

my goal is become trade mentor so i don't have to leave friends that i made in NN

#

when i progressed through my MSQ

#

but i got few of the new hrysvalgar outfit that i sold on mb, so profit wasn't too bad haha

scarlet sandal
#

wym few

patent citrus
#

the one from kupo tickets

scarlet sandal
#

Is your RNG just that good

patent citrus
#

well i level'd both crafters from lv 20-60 there

scarlet sandal
#

I have a friend who's been going at it but he cannot get one

patent citrus
#

when it launched

scarlet sandal
#

He keeps getting junk from the tickets

leaden ginkgo
#

where do I find FC sellers on my server (NA Hyperion)

soft flicker
#

anyone knmow how i enable party frames to always be on?

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a specific place to look?

patent citrus
#

hmm you can summon your chocobo

#

he will be added to your party and it will popped up

what is uptime
@paper torrent uptime is basically how much of a fight you are using your gcds

paper torrent
#

ah

#

ideally you want to be as close to 100% as you can

Anyone got a good farm list for zodiac/anima/eureka weapons
@dusk drum what do you mean farm list

twilit schooner
#

Gonna start raiding soon, is the primal extremes a good place to start with followed by e5s or something?

Do mind that savages are harder though

#

Need a quicker way to get into PoTD 😦 So much clicking lol

limber walrus
#

quick question

#

how much do u have to craft to get Saint of the Firmament

#

roughly

#

like how many turn ins

gloomy mortar
#

Can you have more than one Stuffed Edda in an estate?

#

Where do you buy the picture of Minfilia? It’s not on the MB

little swift
#

how much do u have to craft to get Saint of the Firmament
@limber walrus depends on your server. you need to be top 12 in your server so you definitely have to push hard on the expert crafts

#

housing items i don't think there's anything you can't duplicate

gloomy mortar
#

How do you make the white arrow icons go away in a FC room? For example the arrows to eat from a sandwich basket

little swift
#

there was a setting somewhere

#

i think in char config that let you turn them off

#

iirc

limber walrus
#

Do u have to be crafting the level 80 stuff?

little swift
#

you have to be doing the expert recipes to get the most points in the ranking

#

regular 80 recipe gives like 3 points/craft

#

expert gives like 175+/craft

limber walrus
#

okay I see..

#

I just got to the firmament

obsidian patio
#

Regular 80 gives 30 max

limber walrus
#

is it too late to getit?

obsidian patio
#

Nah it just started

little swift
#

you have until like the 20th for rankings iirc

twilit schooner

Thanks dude

hi new to this is there a rule about promoting an event here?

limber walrus
#

I'm on twintania (light) so maybe I have a chance

#

my crafting gear though..

#

ilv 379

#

Got a lot of catching up to do probably..

#

@limber walrus you can check the rankings they're updated every hour or so

#

talk to the npc on the far left of the main entrance area

as far as i know as long as the event isn't promoted harmfully i don't think its a big deal, but you can ask a mod all the same

and as long as you don't bug members with it

Hello, I havent unlock PoTD yet. The question is, as a healer, which one is better for leveling from 60 to 80? Queue highest dungeon or Heaven?

Aside from roulette assuming I do them all.

granite swan
#

HoH is more 60-70 then it is 80

bronze narwhal
#

I see, looks like I need to do PoTD up to floor 50 first then 😔

granite swan
#

and then try to get groups for 1-20 hoh >.>

bronze narwhal
#

Alright thanks, I need to know about potd mechanic first. Does it take a long time to reach floor 50?

granite swan
#

depends on groups

#

usually with a healer, it shouldnt take long

bronze narwhal
#

Its one-run clear right? Wont take days?

fast kernel
#

yeah

#

its might take 2-3 hours to get to 50

#

i think

bronze narwhal
#

I see thank you

granite swan
#

no its every 10 levels

#

or you can get a fixed group and just blitz it

bronze narwhal
#

Huh?

analog gate
#

as a healer i'd recommend doing dungeons instead though, since you'll learn how to play your class better that way

fast kernel
#

PoTD has 200 floors

granite swan
#

1-10, 11-20, 21-30 etc

fast kernel
#

Its split into 10 floor increments

analog gate
#

and healer queue is usually short

fast kernel
#

The first 50 floors go pretty fast

#

Ohh I see

#

Thanks for the info

granite swan
#

@soft flicker Ya fairy is just cosmetic now

analog gate
#

do the scholar fairies do anything different? i just became a scholar and it seems like theyre just recolors right now?
both fairies function the same

soft flicker
#

i kinda like that actually

normal breach
#

can you sell items in MB in different worlds? or are you only able to buy from different ones

glad comet
#

the later

#

you can only buy from different ones

#

but if you want to sell, you have to be in your world

normal breach
#

kk ty

soft flicker
#

kinda having a hard time telling if my fairy is doing much healing at all lol

fast kernel
#

it doesn't tbh

wanton shadow
#

for the crystal gathering for anima weapon, do I need to be the specific class when grinding the fates?

whole wasp
#

fairy's autoheal has been nerfed over and over for years

soft flicker
#

its healing for 83 out of like a 1200 hp bar, thats not too bad

granite swan
#

Fairy is god tier in PoTD floors like 20-40 :p

normal breach
#

is there a purchase history aynwehre for mb of what you recently bought? (similar to sale history)

whole wasp
#

not that i know of

soft flicker
#

do you guys know if whispering dawn is around my target or around me?

hard ginkgo
#

hello! question again, regarding game time codes/the online codes you get off amazon for the game

would NA codes work if you're in EU? 👀 i'm sorry if this seems like a particularly dumb question, i just wanted to make sure before purchasing

steep heron
#

It should be around the fairy

soft flicker
#

gotcha

#

so basically around me lol

steep heron
#

No eu will not work on na and vice versa

#

It's common to pre place a fairy in the center of a boss arena for example

hard ginkgo
#

oh thank you--but if you were er, say, to select a NA country as your region, would it work?

i know that ff14 is kinda icky with wrong regions due to the i2501 thing, but i still wanted to ask

soft flicker
#

oh i can control my fairy?

#

sorry i literally just got the job scholar lol

granite swan
#

P -> Orders -> Pet ... should have some options

soft flicker
#

oh okay cool

steep heron
#

The account gets registered to a region so you would be locked to that regions time codes

hard ginkgo
#

oh, got it. tyvm

whole wasp
#

All fairy abilities are centred around the fairy. you can command the fairy to move to specific spots or follow you.

wanton shadow
#

any advice for doing fates solo?
I'm trying to do the start of the anima weapons but I cant do all these fates on my own

#

as a blm I'm squishy :/

whole wasp
#

get your chocobro out

#

and rank up your chocobo for choco cure

#

that helps you sustain a little

wanton shadow
#

tbh I have 3 level 80's and haven't used my chocobo once

whole wasp
#

you also have a 30 seconds sleep

#

abuse that to drink pots or something

wanton shadow
#

true

#

how do I control it lol

#

I got some greens to bring it out but it's just sittin here

granite swan
#

Set it to free stance

#

and it should attack what you attack

whole wasp
#

set it to healer stance and it spams cure on you and never attacks

wanton shadow
#

I dont see any stance options o.o

granite swan
#

Character -> Companion

#

should bring up a UI

wanton shadow
#

there isn't any companion sub menu

granite swan
#

you done the lv 30 mission for it?

#

Lv 30 Quest in Central Shroud near Bentbranch Meadows

whole wasp
#

My Feisty Little Chocobo is the name iirc

granite swan
#

Ya that sounds right

wanton shadow
#

well he's attacking stuff

#

but I dont see a hotbar or anything

plain python
#

are the labyrinth raid and bahamut coils become less wipe-able nowadays? Kinda want to try, but it looks daunting.

granite swan
#

Which one is Labyrinth?

plain python
#

the ancient laby

whole wasp
#

Labyrinth of the Ancients is super easy

granite swan
#

oh i must of missed that somewhere

whole wasp
#

bahamut coils is not on any roulette and has some specific mechanics. best to make a PF and unsync it

#

i recommend reading guides too

granite swan
#

@wanton shadow He doesnt have one, you put him in a stance and he does his own thing depending on the skills you gave him

whole wasp
#

You have to drag the stances to your normal hotbar if you want those on your hotbars

#

basically the same as normal player actions

granite swan
#

Defense / Healer / Offense or Free Stance

potent lava
#

should I as DRK, stay in Darkside constantly or is that MP regen loss a big impact

granite swan
#

Defense stuff is pretty useless since he cant hold agro tho

whole wasp
#

im pretty sure darkside is removed in Shadowbringers. wait, lemme check again

analog gate
#

darkside is the 10% buff right?

muted sierra
#

the darkside stance is yeah, darkside is what they call the damage buff from edge/flood of shadow now

#

so if you're tanking just turn on grit and forget about it

#

no mp regen loss now

whole wasp
#

Darkside now only gives damage buff

#

no more messing with ~~mana ~~mp yup

wanton shadow
#

my journal says I've completed my feisty little chocobo

#

it says he's in free stance but I dont see any UI etc

granite swan
#

click the Character button, the lil red ones

#

should be a Companion menu

wanton shadow
#

ohhh that menu

#

I thought you meant in options

granite swan
#

nah

soft flicker
#

itd be cool if you could make your fairy kinda follow someone

#

instead of following you

granite swan
#

halp some weird bug is following me! :p

soft flicker
#

lol

#

like sticking it to the tank would be nice

leaden ginkgo
#

How hard are the Expert Recipes?

whole wasp
#

you just stick to the tank yourself and the fairy will follow you

glad comet
#

@leaden ginkgo if you're not going for HQ, quite easy

#

if you are, good luck 🙂

leaden ginkgo
#

HQ?

#

Firmament Restoration Expert Recipie

twilit arch
#

yeah no, those aren't easy

glad comet
#

still not easy

twilit arch
#

you pretty much need to be a pentamelded aesthete crafter do them if you're going for p3 experts

whole wasp
#

crafter (savage)

leaden ginkgo
#

Even if tier 1 collectability?

slate arrow
#

yep

granite swan
#

How difficult is stage 1 of ARR Relic?

green grail
#

not difficult at all, just long

whole wasp
#

not hard. just tedious

slate arrow
#

you just need to get a crafted weapon off the marketboard and two materia slotted in

#

and then a whole bunch of running around

granite swan
#

ah so no dungeon stuff?

slate arrow
#

there's a few instances but no dungeons I think?

#

just like a trial or two

green grail
#

you need to do amdapor keep i think

#

iirc

whole wasp
#

can unsync it iirc and blow through it

granite swan
#

my paly is only 50 tho >.> do i need to be pal for that part?

slate arrow
#

Yes

#

It's why it's recommended to not attempt relic weapons until you're level 80

#

it's just much less of a hassle that way

obsidian patio
#

IIRC you also need to beat up Ifrit/Garuda/Titan hard mode for the first step

whole wasp
#

you will also hopefully have gil to just buy all the crafted stuff

vital ruin
#

Doesn't people do syrcus tower anymore
I've been queueing for sometime now

obsidian patio
#

It’s the dead of night if you’re on an NA server

whole wasp
#

are you tank?

vital ruin
#

Healer

#

I can run tank

whole wasp
#

no dont run tank

#

24 man only 3 slots for tank

obsidian patio
#

Tanks get the worst queues for 24-mans

vital ruin
#

I c

whole wasp
#

healer is fine-ish

obsidian patio
#

But yeah. Everyone in NA is asleep

#

Wait like 10-12 hours for prime time

vital ruin
#

I'm woke af tho MiqoteDepressed

#

I can't change data center for 90 days

whole wasp
#

its around 4AM therabouts in NA

obsidian patio
#

1-4AM depending on timezone

vital ruin
#

Does lv 80s carry in 24 man dungeons

whole wasp
#

people usually do 24 man synced

obsidian patio
#

Yes, but Syrcus Tower requires a minimum of 9 people to successfully do the first raid

whole wasp
#

becuase its hard to get 24 people/ organize 3 proper parties to unsync it

obsidian patio
#

And you need a bare minimum of 3 people to do alliance raids undersized assuming mechanics don’t force a higher amount

vital ruin
#

Yeyyy I got iinn

#

o nvm they left

obsidian patio
#

If the queue popped you’re basically in

#

Since you’re at the very front of the line

vital ruin
#

Yeyy I'm inn

granite swan
#

Sooo uh ... what do you do if u dont have the trial it needs you to do? Rofl

serene bison
#

Ok so Dark and Samurai are the main classes I like so far but which would you suggest as a long term rewarding class

#

Dark Knight- and its ok to be biased

glossy flare
#

both

serene bison
#

Also someone said Dark Knight has the power to be DPS or Tank

wind copper
#

From what I’ve seen he’s got ramping damage

glossy flare
#

Eh, no tank can compete with an actual dps assuming everyone does their job right

#

however all the tanks in xiv are basically beefy damage dealers

#

it's the design principle behind tanking in this game

marble drift
#

a tank can blitz a dps with no-idea what they're doing of course

#

but. assuming both players did their research and practiced

#

no tank will beat a dps

glossy flare
#

you can still pull some great damage as a tank though

#

Dark Knight is mostly about its burst phase in that regard

marble drift
#

its off-global cooldowns specifically

#

it has ALL THESE BUTTONS

glossy flare
#

But since you mentioned SAM, that one is actually at the top of things when it comes to damage

serene bison
#

I like both of them but I wanna focus one down

wind copper
#

do I lose the road to 70 once I reach level 70 in any job?

marble drift
#

No

glossy flare
#

once you switch to a job below 70 you get it back

wind copper
#

cool

marble drift
#

Samurai (when played the way I like to) has some of the heaviest hitting attacks in the game

glossy flare
#

might even be that it lasts until you hit 71, I don't remember

marble drift
#

I personally have seen my samurai's Midare Settsugekka crit for upwards of 160k

wind copper
#

I’m playing Sam right now I enjoy it

marble drift
#

I really wanna see if we can break 200k going into next raid tier

glossy flare
#

oh yeah, big numbers on SAM are nice

whole wasp
#

you can unlock those 2 and play a couple dungeons

serene bison
#

I'll think about it more

marble drift
#

which is why slow sam is best same

glossy flare
#

especially since they all come so close together

granite swan
#

Apparently i have to unlock the Chimera Trial, but i cant find anywhere that tells me where to unlock it at lol

whole wasp
#

although DRK starts at 30 so it wont be as satisfying as SAM to start since you just have less abilities

wind copper
#

I’m gonna hit level 80 in every job uwucarby

marble drift
#

you get a mount for doing so 😄

serene bison
#

Dark Knight starts at 30?

glossy flare
#

the main annoying thing about DRK is that you only get tbn at 70 and your aoe combo finisher at 72

marble drift
#

yes. as well as the other 2 heavensward jobs

glossy flare
#

both are kinda important and just make things feel better

marble drift
#

Machinist and Astrologian

serene bison
#

Oo

wind copper
#

but my goal for now is to have 3 jobs of each archetype

marble drift
#

Samurai and Red Mage start at 50

#

and Gunbreaker and Dancer start at 60

serene bison
#

I don't think I can play Red Mage

wind copper
#

dark Sam and ast I think

glossy flare
#

but you do need a lvl 50 job to start the DRK quest, as well as having access to Ishgard (which will put you beyond 50 for sure)

marble drift
#

you mean 1 of each archetype then Marc 😛

#

3 of each would mean 3 tanks, 3 healers etc etc

wind copper
#

shhh shhh

marble drift
#

hue

glossy flare
#

also red mage is pretty easy I think

#

it's the clicky fun caster

marble drift
#

Im the black sheep

#

I can't get into red mage

#

feels weird

fast kernel
#

same

marble drift
#

also it doesn't have Xenoglossy

serene bison
#

I wanna be tanky still but st the sametime throw some damage

marble drift
#

so it can go to heck 🐍

wind copper
#

You’re a dps that also can care about others

#

weird class

fast kernel
#

Thats why i play tanks

glossy flare
#

well out of all the tanks I'd say that Gunbreaker feels like a dps the most

#

lots of combos and boom boom

fast kernel
#

DPS with defensive cooldowns
