polar hound
nice
leaden ginkgo
i know not to overheal that doesnt make much sense and has 0 value to the team
sand stratus
healer DPS can be the difference between clearing and failing a DPS check
polar hound
if team falls below 50% hp, there is no further damage coming for X amount of time..a star can heal them without needing to stop dps and then cover tank with ogcds
faint flare
Basically, dps isn't something you start doing when there's nothing to heal
polar hound
scripts are fun
faint flare
Its something you stop doing when you're required to heal
tired timber
there are DPS checks? as in everyone needs to do a certain amount to progress?
leaden ginkgo
well most dungeons im doing atm dont have dps check and i mainly dps when team is good at hp
polar hound
yes
faint flare
Yed
remote lintel
yes wesim
leaden ginkgo
dps checks gotta love em
polar hound
theyre called Enrage timers. the boss will simply murder you.
leaden ginkgo
best gimmick in video games
tired timber
interesting
glossy flare
usually it's while the boss is charging up some kind of ultimate attack
and you have to deal X amount of dmg before that happens
leaden ginkgo
thats why monster hunter made behemoth have a dps check lmao but yeah @faint flare i dps when people are usually full or 70% hp or higher
glass moat
Where can I as a new player find guilds to join?
remote lintel
glossy flare
check the recruitment channel here, or the recruitment sub over on reddit
clever willow
What crafted arr primal weaps are there? I see Ifrit, Garuda, Moggle, Ramuh, and Titan. Am I missing any?
glass moat
gotcha so reddit / or in here.
Nothing in game I presume other then guild ads by people?
faint flare
When you get more off globals, you can dps until they're 30% then just snap your fingers and full heal them
sand stratus
you can find recruitments in party finder sometimes
polar hound
you can hangout in city states such as limsa/uldah/gridania and prolly see a few shouts
remote lintel
@clever willow shinryu, seiryu, tsukuyomi, suzaku
clever willow
aren't those like
remote lintel
bismarck
clever willow
SB primals
leaden ginkgo
yeah but i have tried that and they sometimes die really fast lmao
remote lintel
oh
glossy flare
they asked for arr stuff only
remote lintel
i completely skipped "arr"
leaden ginkgo
especially when the tank cant keep agro and our dps die fast lol @faint flare but i get what ur saying ill start practicing it more zzzz
polar hound
when the damage is scripted and eventually predictable, youll understand sometimes it just isnt your fault lol
also try diurnal out if you havent, even for dungeons..regens are nice lol
leaden ginkgo
i do
remote lintel
you should have as much gcd uptime as possible
faint flare
Its part on tank using cooldowns approiately and dps killing shit fast
polar hound
good stuff
faint flare
Faster shit dies, less you heal
leaden ginkgo
i usually will use aspected benefic and dps during that time
faint flare
All one gaint loop
polar hound
spam gravity on aoe smack em with star
ripe hound
I feel like as AST I don't have a lot of oGCD single target stuff
leaden ginkgo
if boss does b.s aoe i usually will use lightspeed helois for ez heal but only if everyone is super low
polar hound
you will later
ripe hound
Like when I need to heal some one across the map, what are the options?
remote lintel
i mean
remote lintel
^
ripe hound
I mean I feel like I have a fuckton of oGCD Aoe heals
leaden ginkgo
but in terms of healing aspected benefic carries me lol and benefic
glossy flare
if they are so far away from the healer they don't want heals apparently
polar hound
^ thats on them
ripe hound
Yeah I'm thinking about wolex add phase spread out, and someone is dangerously low
polar hound
tank sets the pace unfortunately but as long as they arent trolling/griefing
finite topaz
some tanks like to rush the map
@leaden ginkgo This is the way tho
polar hound
can always ask
glossy flare
well, big pulls are the norm in later content
remote lintel
there are 2 healers
glossy flare
but yes, don't confuse the sprout
remote lintel
your other healer should get htem
leaden ginkgo
yeah thats later content lol im doing synced level 40 sht
ripe hound
Yeah I guess if people in the other light party die it's the other healer's job
finite topaz
still the way since you're synced
ripe hound
In wolex I just need to focus on my side and my tanks
leaden ginkgo
essential dignity has a long ass cool down???/
polar hound
a lot of people forget that pre-popping sprint is very useful in spread situations
glossy flare
yes, but it gets stronger the less HP the target has
finite topaz
!action essential dignity
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
remote lintel
essential dignity does not have a long cd
finite topaz
40 seconds is not long ass lmao
glossy flare
so it's big CD anyway
ripe hound
Diur Intersect is basically one extra Ess Dignity right?
remote lintel
40s is real fast
finite topaz
basically every pull you get to drop one
glossy flare
I mean, you don't stand around and do nothing in those 40 secs I hope 😄
leaden ginkgo
watch as my tank dies
finite topaz
you think SCH has Excog at low level?
polar hound
you can disagree with us on the dps aspect all you want, its a simple fact of the game.
remote lintel
you should be prioritizing ogcd heals
leaden ginkgo
for minor mobs
finite topaz
y'know what's a waste?
leaden ginkgo
where if hes at 300 hp i can full hp him
finite topaz
letting it SIT
remote lintel
you should ABUSE essential dignity
leaden ginkgo
value
glossy flare
there are usually more than 40 secs between bosses
polar hound
big trash pulls should have more cd usage than bosses.
glossy flare
so if you time it right, that's not a waste
leaden ginkgo
easier value and heals
remote lintel
benefic takes too long
sand stratus
okay, to be fair
leaden ginkgo
at a boss yeah ill use it
sand stratus
in low level dungeons
leaden ginkgo
1 second is to long>
sand stratus
it doesn't really matter what you use
ripe hound
Yeah in 4 mans the trash are usually where you use most Cds
leaden ginkgo
thats what im saying
finite topaz
Why the heck would you use Benefic? just use Essential Dignity when your tank's HP goes low.
glossy flare
For example, when I tank on DRK Shadow Wall has 120s cd. Doesn't mean I should not use it for trash packs
remote lintel
you should prioritize ogcd heals
glossy flare
especially when I know the next boss is more than 120s away
finite topaz
my tank doesnt get low most of time with benefic
@leaden ginkgo And that's a waste
polar hound
same for sentinel on paladin..if my healer is spam healing me theres an issue
gusty storm
so are all tanks meant to be easy
leaden ginkgo
how is it a waste lol?
finite topaz
Better to use Essential Dignity than to let it sit
remote lintel
letting ED sit is a waste
leaden ginkgo
nope
leaden ginkgo
i always wait until i need to
polar hound
because youre not using your cooldown and then in turn using MORE of that ability through the entire dungeon
ripe hound
Basically any GCD that is not used as DPS is a bit of a waste
polar hound
= more uses = more healing
leaden ginkgo
u act like healer dps makes a big difference
polar hound
bro
ripe hound
Because healers don't have access to much oGCD DPS skills
remote lintel
all dps is important
polar hound
we've told you it does.
leaden ginkgo
nah
wispy parcel
It does
remote lintel
yes it is
leaden ginkgo
thats just being extermly picky
finite topaz
u act like healer dps makes a big difference
@leaden ginkgo It does...
wispy parcel
in this game it REALLY does
magic light
the "vote on the forum" scam link thing
leaden ginkgo
Do emotes slowly sync up over time or am I going fucking crazy
glossy flare
so are all tanks meant to be easy
@gusty storm I wouldn't say they are easy, just less complex than some other jobs. But they do tend to have to worry about other things on top of their own hotbar too
magic light
where does it fall under report?
glossy flare
So that's fair
remote lintel
yes
polar hound
this guy just wants to argue now
leaden ginkgo
All DPS is good DPS bro
little swift
"saving ED"
for what, next game?

hes upset about healers needing to dps

Healer DPS in a dungeon can be like ten minutes or more of clear time difference

Do dps
leaden ginkgo
im not upset about healers needing to dps
jade quartz
There’s no discussion to be had
finite topaz
it's on par with the DRG and Black Mage
leaden ginkgo
i literally said i do it when i need to
polar hound
stop it
leaden ginkgo
but ur not gonna force me
jade quartz
The DPS contribution is very significant
finite topaz
My guy
remote lintel
you're complaining that AST dps is low and you won't dps
ornate mango
Which is... all the time.
leaden ginkgo
to dps when i dont have to
little swift
the things is you always need to dps
ornate mango
?????????????????????????????
leaden ginkgo
or deal with it
polar hound
yikes.
jade quartz
Especially in dungeons
finite topaz
Look at me
leaden ginkgo
idc?
finite topaz
Im White Mage
finite topaz
You dont care? its facts
magic light
do i report scammers under "report cheating" ?
leaden ginkgo
Imagine not wanting to perform to the best of your ability
jade quartz
If you are not dpsing you are not playing at a basic level of proficiency
leaden ginkgo
u healed when needed too
polar hound
this isnt wow my dude.
leaden ginkgo
when did i say i never dps
finite topaz
u healed when needed too
@leaden ginkgo yes, when needed
remote lintel
@magic light they'll be banned in the wave
leaden ginkgo
clealy u didnt read what i said
proud willow
@magic light yeah, that is fine. That or Harassment
finite topaz
not put a regen and keep it up
jade quartz
And most of the time no one needs to be healed.
ripe hound
Listen, why do I need to even DPS as a DPS? I can just stand there and the dungeon finishes it self
leaden ginkgo
considering i dps 50% of the time
leaden ginkgo
ok like i said
ripe hound
If they don't like it vote to kick
finite topaz
Like less than 50% of the time by what you're saying
faint flare
Essential digital
polar hound
bro, we DO 40 synced
jade quartz
We have all done 40 synced often
polar hound
every day
jade quartz
You can dps a lot
leaden ginkgo
cutter cry
finite topaz
you keep popping Benefic and Regen on tank... like why? just let him drop, use Essential Dignity, pop an Aspected Benefic AFTER the ED and then keep DPSing
jade quartz
You’re arguing against something that isn’t being said.
polar hound
we are seasoned players you're forgetting
leaden ginkgo
and watch them die
polar hound
youre ignoring things
remote lintel
nobody is telling you not to heal
polar hound
important things
leaden ginkgo
im heal 5% of the time and dps 90% of the time
ornate mango
honey that's not a hill you should die on
remote lintel
we're telling you to prioritize ogcd heals
leaden ginkgo
95*
polar hound
good ole aether
leaden ginkgo
afk gonna watch as my tank dies in 10 seconds
ripe hound
To be honest at end game about 95% of what you are doing is DPS anyway
finite topaz
afk gonna watch as my tank dies in 10 seconds
@leaden ginkgo you're just being a dick now

You also deleted something totally unrelated to the earlier arguement.

shh guys use the purge command
zinc orbitBOT
ripe hound
Well there aren't much point keeping the argument
agile laurel
yeah they probably missed
no bother
Anyway, MB tax
I don't actually know that, so is there no practical difference where you sell?
jade quartz
There is still a reduced tax city every week
ornate mango
yeah MB tax exists. You were able to bypass it before... 5.2 I believe
vestal needle
did it used to be different?
glossy flare
Anyway, there is always a 5% tax on anything you buy that's from a retainer stationed in any location where you are currently not
ornate mango
But now it doesn't really matter and people put them up in the expansion cities
finite topaz
Well there aren't much point keeping the argument
@ripe hound well lemme reput it... Marketboard is the same regardless of location, BUT you can do World Visit to check other marketboards, looking for cheaper prices
glossy flare
Always 5%, never changes
jade quartz
It’s on the seller to place retainers there to take advantage of it
Most people ignore it
finite topaz
It’s in the seller to place retainers there to take advantage of it
@jade quartz This is basically it, too much effort if you just sell stuff intermittently, but if you are a crafter that keeps selling, the gil racks up
ripe hound
Is the tax 0-5% or 5-10%?
jade quartz
5 default, reduced is something like uh
finite topaz
I remember when tax excemption was on Kugane...i didnt even unlock Kugane back then
jade quartz
I’m not sure actually
sand stratus
I think it's 3%
jade quartz
3%?
rigid gazelle
I have a question regarding buying the game. Can someone help ? Should I purchase on Steam or the Square Enix store ?
ripe hound
kk, 3-5%
finite topaz
I have a question regarding buying the game. Can someone help ? Should I purchase on Steam or the Square Enix store ?
@rigid gazelle Whichever you prefer
ornate mango
Usually in the expansion cities it's 3%. Sometimes they make certain expansion cities tax-free
ripe hound
Preferably SE store I think
jade quartz
@rigid gazelle either is fine, just means you have to buy future expansions from the same place
finite topaz
I'd say tho, buy whichever is on sale
jade quartz
Steam doesn’t have any drawbacks other than having to launch through steam
ripe hound
If you use steam you are locked into steam. If you don't use steam you are locked out of steam.
I think.
glossy flare
Oh yeah, but no tax is a temporary thing to attract people to that market board
jade quartz
Also lets you buy sub with steam wallet
keen fable
There quicker way to level gatherers other than the diadem? or is the diadem the quickest way
finite topaz
But if Steam is down, you cant play FFXIV, cuz of some bullshit system...
remote lintel
steam doesn't have as many sales from what ive seen
obsidian patio
And only being able to buy expansions from steam
finite topaz
There quicker way to level gatherers other than the diadem? or is the diadem the quickest way
@keen fable levemetes at crystarium
keen fable
even pre 70?
rigid gazelle
Alright I will be on the looking for when there is a sale. Will enjoy the free trial in the meantime. Thank you everyone !
obsidian patio
Leves can still be good experience if you want variety
ornate mango
The biggest advantage Steam has is being able to pay with Steam Wallet
sand stratus
diadem isn't the fastest, but you'll probably want to be gathering stuff for your crafters anyways
obsidian patio
You’ll just need to stay up to date on your gear you
ripe hound
What is Diadem? Is it related to Ishgard Restoration?
keen fable
i'm at 153%, that the most i can get?
ornate mango
So you could fund your stuff with Steam trading cards, CSGO skins, or TF2 stuff
finite topaz
yep...diadem has the added bonus of one-stop-shop
sand stratus
Diadem is where you go to gather materials for Ishgard Restoration crafting
finite topaz
get some Ishgard's scrips while at it
ripe hound
Cool can someone explain Ishgard Restoration?
keen fable
sad, this is much slower than ishgard resto for crafters :C
ripe hound
Is it basically like a huge server as a whole project you can contribute?
sand stratus
you craft specific items and turn them in for exp and scrips
ripe hound
kk
sand stratus
pretty much fastest way to level crafters
ripe hound
Can I buy lv 80 gear with Yellow Scripts?
ripe hound
I have maxed out 2000 yellow scripts
glossy flare
Yeah it's a server wide contribution thing
finite topaz
you need white scrips
glossy flare
Cool thing is that there is an associated area that changes depending on the progress
ripe hound
What should I do? Buy lv 70 gear?
finite topaz
yellow scrips gets you lvl 70 gear and tools, also some materials and exp manuals
well, lvl 70 gear is nice, cuz i used that to get all my crafters to lvl 80
ripe hound
Can I get any ShB related area gathering or crafting manual with yellow scripts?
finite topaz
basically, vendor gear lvl 50>60 and then yellow lvl 70 gear+accesories+tools
ripe hound
kk
ripe hound
Also what are manuals?
ripe hound
Like I think I need to buy books and stuff to craft end game stuff?
glossy flare
you can buy them for company seals
and they temporarily increase your XP for crafting/gathering
ripe hound
Kk
finite topaz
These ones cost yellow scrips but, 6 millions worth of extra EXP
ripe hound
kk
finite topaz
You'll be stuck at Diadem for like 3 hours if you use that lmao
glossy flare
oh right, later ones are for scrips
sand stratus
took me something like a week and a half to get all my crafters to 80 with Ishgard Restoration
finite topaz
the simpler cheaper ones cost GC seals, and give 500k EXP per manual, they are cheap and get used in like 2 minutes, but you can buy a LOT
sand stratus
ridiculously fast
keen fable
ye just need gil
ripe hound
Kk
glossy flare
they are good for starting off on a job
gusty siren
what about ixal dailies
sand stratus
yeah, it's a good idea to have your gatherers leveled up too
glossy flare
since you need some progress before scrips become an option
sand stratus
so you don't have to buy stuff off MB
glossy flare
why be smart, right?
keen fable
tru
glossy flare
(i have all DoH and DoL jobs at 0, don't tell anyone)
sand stratus
although some of the lower level diadem stuff is just not worth gathering
considering they sell for like 1 or 2 gil
keen fable
well, it is xp ;p
sand stratus
true
ripe hound
Usually how much does something needs to be to be worth gathering yourself?
sand stratus
just needs to be worth your time
ripe hound
0.5k?
keen fable
most items 60+ are worth gathering
ripe hound
kk
keen fable
as you need to mass craft
sand stratus
if 20k is a lot to you, and you'd rather spend 20 minutes gathering it yourself
do that
keen fable
lots of the herbalism stuff is worth gathering as well
sand stratus
but if you've got gil burning a hole in your pockets
keen fable
as you need to mass craft it too
sand stratus
MB all you want
ripe hound

In wolex, usually which tank go which side?

is there a way i can get a friendship circlet back if i got rid of it on accident
halcyon glen
I assume the calamity salvager has it
keen fable
ah okay ill look
ripe hound
For wolex final phase 2 mage, what do we usually do?
Like if 1st tower is S
Who go get the tower?
Assuming partners for everything
halcyon glen
Just call it SoS. Please.
ripe hound
kk
split nebula
is there anything to do with antiquated gear besides glamour dresser it?
glossy flare
nope
I mean it is okayish gear when you get it, but there is better gear to be had for poetics pretty easily
halcyon glen
If first tower is S in buddy strat, off tank (the south person) and their meteor buddy take it and the 5th tower
woven token
Cardinals hit first, so the partnrt pair south would take south. Count which order your tower was, take that number intercardinal
ripe hound
kk, so usually it's south Off tank and SW dps right?
halcyon glen
Yep
glossy flare
Put it in your armoire though, not in your glamour dresser 🙂
halcyon glen
Assuming your OT is south
halcyon glen
Yep, regardless of who it is
ripe hound
Kk
keen fable
where would i find the circlet at the salvager?
halcyon glen
The pair that takes the first tower takes the fifth, the second takes the sixth, etc.
ripe hound
And call the trail SoSex?
keen fable
item reclamation doesnt have anything
halcyon glen
SoS EX is usually how I label it
ripe hound
lol
ripe hound

big shiny dude extreme
halcyon glen
Mentioning the boss by name is fairly spoilerific atm
ripe hound
I see
split nebula
it doesnt let me put it in my armoire
glossy flare
It doesn't? 🤔
mild ermine
What methods are available to augment crystarium gear at the moment?
split nebula
only the quested stuff can be
halcyon glen
If it can’t be armoired, yo the dresser it goes
glossy flare
I thought all the job gear could be put into the armoire
halcyon glen
Nah
glossy flare
well nvm then
faint flare
Hunts, 24man weekly and savage
ripe hound
For 500 Allegory you can do 24 man, do hunts, or do savage
halcyon glen
Only AF1 (i45-50)
faint flare
To augment allegory
mild ermine
How can I do it with hunts?
faint flare
All the normal ways after its fully unlocked
plush hound
The level 45 gear can be put in the armoire, the level 50 can't.
mild ermine
I do the 24 man weekly method
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
You buy it with the currency
glossy flare
fair enough
mild ermine
I can buy the materials to augment it with the sack of nuts?
faint flare
2000 and 3000 for accessories and armour
halcyon glen
Yes
faint flare
Haven't checked for wep
ripe hound
The hunt merchant sells the enchancement items for 2000 and 3000 nuts
halcyon glen
Not the weapon atm
mild ermine
I don't use the weapon, I use the level 80 relic weapon
faint flare
Weapon is in 24man exchange at least
ripe hound
can you argument the weapon with coins?
faint flare
Yes
ripe hound
kk
faint flare
Its the best non savage weapon currently
mild ermine
Isnt the level 80 relic weapon better?
faint flare
Far superior than relic
halcyon glen
Nah
ripe hound
No
mild ermine
waaa
faint flare
Not until the END of the expansion
ripe hound
About 15 ilv above I think?
mild ermine
Augmented Crystarium is better? o.o
faint flare
Item level is king
halcyon glen
Thanks to melds
mild ermine
But yeah melds
halcyon glen
But i500 is better than Relic
faint flare
Doesn't matter
halcyon glen
By far
glossy flare
the relic weapon will be better once we can upgrade it
faint flare
Weapon damage is THE best stat
glossy flare
but that's not until 5.35 (I assume)
ripe hound
Yeah I don't think 3 more melds can cover 5 ilv
faint flare
It blows EVERYTHING out the water
blazing crest
Why is it hard to find a party for memoria misera.
leaden ginkgo
505 > 500 > 495 > 490=485
faint flare
Because its old and irrelevant
mild ermine
Do I NEED to upgrade the weapon?
leaden ginkgo
Basically
mild ermine
Or can relic carry me for now
ripe hound
Are there 505 gear?
leaden ginkgo
Ubless you're an astro or scholar
faint flare
If you want a far superior weapon
ripe hound
Only weapon?
leaden ginkgo
Than 500> 505
faint flare
Only weapon
little swift
only the weapon @ripe hound
mild ermine
Its really that much better huh?
little swift
weapon damage and mainstat are always things you want more of
faint flare
Weapon damage is king
halcyon glen
I know for Dancer at least, the melds on the Relic actually DO cover 5 ilvl and the 485 Relic is slightly better than the 490
halcyon glen
But the 500 is WAY better than the Relic
little swift
at least with enough of an ilvl gap its somethign you want to prio
5 ilvls
its 
whatever substats you awnt more of tbh
halcyon glen
P I E T Y
halcyon glen
yes, 99% of the time
mild ermine
Hecc
faint flare
If its within 5 ilvls is comparable
ripe hound
If I don't think I can do savage yet I can just exchange for all the Allegory gear right?
ripe hound
kk
leaden ginkgo
because of the allegory weekly limit
little swift
savage this tier only requires ilvl480 for the first floor
halcyon glen
Yep
little swift
savage will help speed it up
ripe hound
But I don't have a static and I'm scared of PF!
mild ermine
pb?
little swift
puppet bunker
halcyon glen
The almost inevitable 495 relic will likely be comparable to a 500 weapon. Likely.
mild ermine
PB is anyway
remote lintel
you can buy augment thingies with nuts
jsut do a bunch of hunt trains if you dont want to wait
mild ermine
Yeah the augmenting is less the issue for me, and more of the acquisition of the ilvl 500 gear. Since i havent done Savage at all, my current method is just tomestones, which takes forever
remote lintel
believe in yourself
mild ermine
Believe in me since I don't believe in me
remote lintel
i believe in u 
mild ermine
I will believe in you that believes in me
leaden ginkgo
if it means anything you don’t need I500 gear
ripe hound
SoSex weapon can carry me till end of patch right?
faint flare
Well relic should get upgraded to 495 next patch and will be better highly likely if it keeps the melds
So

im doing cooking right now butl, i dont see the option to quick syn
gusty siren
nevermind it doesn't. i kept the buff on casting
vestal needle
is it a skill?
gusty siren
you will unlock it if you do your class quest iirc
plush hound
No, thousand needles is a flat 1000 damage, unaffected by pretty much anything.
gusty siren
if you're just starting out, but you need to craft something at least once to mass craft it
vestal needle
thanks
faint flare
No
ripe hound
Is there anything I can do with used Argumented gear?
polar hound
can you turn it in for gc seals? idk..or toss it on a retainer for future/alt use
ripe hound
Yeah, not much use I guess
gusty storm
is palace of the dead a good levelling spot for a newbie
ripe hound
Consider doing the daily leveling roulette every day
polar hound
tanks/healer will get much faster/sufficient exp by spamming highest lvl dungeon
also yea daily rous
ripe hound
It gives a lot of exp and gets you familiar to the job
astral bane
Any alchemist specialist in primal can help me out with drachen augmentations? :3
ripe hound
POTD can be a bit underwhelming, suddenly throwing you all the skills
but it's definitely good exp
polar hound
only does that if you start at floor 50+ tho, my guess is he's startin fresh
ripe hound
But I mean it still throws you skills faster than you can put it on your hotbar
But yeah, if you are fine with the experience then it's good
polar hound
yeah for sure! i used to use fixed party in potd to set my hotbars up on lower levels but..they made that easy now
ripe hound
Yup lol

Does O2 have less health than O1? I see people farming O2 for tank mount more often
polar hound
probably either that or less downtime, not sure

candid sigil
would giving someone a game time code for like for example fantasias from mog station get you banned?
polar hound
p sure ppl still murder garuda for that one
remote lintel
if you already had it probably not
if you bought it just for that purpose probably
ripe hound
What level do I need to start participating in Ishgard Restoration?
I mean if lv 1 crafter enough?
faint flare

remote lintel
lvl 20 crafter
ripe hound
kk
remote lintel
10 gatherer
ripe hound
Also I can start by following this guide right?
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/ishgardian_restoration
calm phoenix
Where can I find Calamity salvagers?
halcyon glen
All three starter towns
calm phoenix
Where in Limsa?
polar hound
Aftcastle
remote lintel
near the mail moogle
polar hound
(use that aetheryte) theyre just a short jog off from that aetheryte
yeah @ripe hound should be able to, there is a questline ofc
ripe hound
kk
polar hound
there was also a guide with rotations for the level tiers somewhere..not sure if theres an updated one yet or not but jsyk they had macros and all the stuff
faint flare
The levelling ones didn't change afaik, jusy different mats
The document is pinned in #doh-dol-lounge iirc
polar hound
nice thanks i looked right past it
quaint forge
I never use Oracle of Light, does she have any unique characteristic skills as Rogue?
elder sinew
are the A, S rank monsters important for anything or just for achievements?
zinc orbitBOT
quaint forge
I see, thanks!
faint flare
Yeah
quaint forge
Oh lord, I might have to bench Thancred in entire game with my alt main tank
faint flare
Cause ||He cant imbue GNB cartridges himself, so she does it||
He's still fine without it
quaint forge
True
remote lintel
yshtola > oracle
calm phoenix
What option do I choose at the Calamity Salvager? I have some silver Chocobo feathers that say that they can be exchanged with the salvager
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Only blm has one of those
noble beacon
hey hey hey anyone here have experience with the home world transfer service?
leaden ginkgo
I do
noble beacon
okay so im trying to swap the dcs that my main and alt are on
calm phoenix
I take it that my game is displaying incorrect information on exchanging these feathers for the Calamity Salvager based on the fact that nobody knows the answer
noble beacon
my main is on zalera and was created when zalera was a preferred server
leaden ginkgo
@calm phoenix check all of the options, its definetly one
noble beacon
and my alt is on behemoth
im trying to get my alt to zalera and my main to exodus
but am i going to get completely locked out from transferring if i transfer either of those characters?
leaden ginkgo
you only get locked for 3 days
noble beacon
or is the lockout just for the character you transfer?
leaden ginkgo
and then you can transfer again
I've transferred and transferred back after the lock expires, it's only 3 days
calm phoenix
None of the options make any sense. They all specify other currency or job specific gear which I know is not it
leaden ginkgo
I'll double check for you
calm phoenix
None of them say Chocobo feather exchange
noble beacon
so transferring my alt from congested behemoth to preferred zalera wont lock me out from using the character transfer across my entire account then?
it is just for the character i swap
leaden ginkgo
I believe so yep
noble beacon
okay
hopefully support will answer me sometime soon so ill know for sure
thank you!!
halcyon glen
@calm phoenix Spoils Exvhange
calm phoenix
There is no "Spoils Exchange" only "Certificate exchange" and "Deal in Spoils"
keen fable
bruh
keen fable
you cant be serious
leaden ginkgo
check deal in spoils
calm phoenix
It is in there. Thanks
leaden ginkgo
enjoy your spoils
halcyon glen
So you know for next time, that info is written on the recruit a friend page.
calm phoenix
Why does it warn me that I cannot equip an item when I buy something that is one level above me? It is not like I am never going to level up
calm phoenix
But I will be able to when I level up
remote lintel
the game only checks if you can equip it at that moment
halcyon glen
The check is “can equip currently”
calm phoenix
I can understand the message if I buy something that is meant for DRG and I am SMN but as long as I fit the job, it should not need to warn me
polar hound
it does though. get used to it.
polar hound
there are warnings for a lot of things because they generally do not give items back aside from the one-time ordeal, usually.
calm phoenix
If the gear is too high level for me, can I still dye it? Or do I need to level up before I can dye it?
remote lintel
you can dye it
calm phoenix
How can I dye it? I can only select it?
Never mind. Pressing Square gives me the option
Where can I get "void blue dye"?
glad comet
mb
raw solstice
it's a level 30 craft, or you can purchase it off of MB. Technically can drop out of a dungeon as well (fractal continuum) but that's about the least value place to get it from
glad comet
craft it
raw solstice
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Void_Blue_Dye, for reference
just googled and clicked first link haha
lavish vortex
Hi! I have a question regarding eureka pyros, is there a source where you can fin the “recipes” for logo actions combinations and the ending results?
calm phoenix
It was inexpensive on the market board. I was worried that people would want an arm and a leg like people wanted for ruby red dye
remote lintel
ruby red is a relatively new dye
raw solstice
that one's a bit more annoying to get, since it's not just like, a low level craft or cheap to buy with gil from somewhere
have to do ishgard restoration for it (or buy off of mb)
split jay
Post realm reborn is there considered a low point for ffxiv
calm phoenix
But it is the closest to pure red that they have
soft sentinel
are FC's vital?
faint flare
No
They're more social if anything
And some buffs like xp buff
Depending what they're running
soft sentinel
okay good cause I'm on the free trial and was asked to join one but because of that I have no way to respond
leaden ginkgo
when is a good time to focus on crafting classes
soft sentinel
it's awkward
faint flare
They get a notification if they send a tell to someone on trial
leaden ginkgo
idk if i should wait until I get ishgard restoration or not
leaden ginkgo
is crafting something that isnt important until end game though?
sleek roost
Crafting isnt mandatory for anything at all, even endgame
faint flare
But useful to have
leaden ginkgo
I only care about mining, blacksmith, and armorer
calm phoenix
Crafting is good for glam, though, right?
faint flare
If you dont want to spend gil on market yes
leaden ginkgo
which class craft glam?
faint flare
Alot
leaden ginkgo
is it like level 50+ to craft it?
faint flare
They all make housing stuff as well
remote lintel
depends on the glam
faint flare
Which can go for a fair bit
leaden ginkgo
I only want gear
faint flare
Especially when new housing plots are opening
leaden ginkgo
tbh lol
faint flare
Can make money that way
leaden ginkgo
i heard the new update crafting gear is gonna be the best
sleek roost
Crafted gear is good for starting new raid tiers when they come out but that's about it
faint flare
big point
sleek roost
It's never BiS
young yarrow
Also some are gorgeous when you don't need it anymore
leaden ginkgo
i just sell them
faint flare
But raiders like new crafted gear cause its the best they can get without waiting for weeklu locks
Helps with week 1 clears
leaden ginkgo
I just got white gatherers scrips from ocean fishing for the first time?
Why did I get these this time, and not all the time?
I have no idea what u talking about tbh but Im just wait until i get to ishgard restoration. which class is best for the gil then?
proven bay
Is buying the complete edition cheaper than buying base game + DLC? Or is it roughly the same price?
faint flare
Also you got white scrips cause you catch a blue rarity fish during spectral @leaden ginkgo
remote lintel
its about the same iirc
proven bay
Fishing is actually kind of fun @leaden ginkgo
lavish vortex
Hi! I have a question regarding eureka pyros, is there a source where you can fin the “recipes” for logo actions combinations and the ending results?
leaden ginkgo
Oh neato
leaden ginkgo
Yeah I got an achievement for that, sweet
its fun i guess but i only want gear
can fish give me gear
faint flare
Cause you need inution during spectral
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
And its a short time
And requiring specific bait
Usually not bait supplied by the boat
leaden ginkgo
also is ishgard restoration hard to do or no?
faint flare
No
quaint flicker
@lavish vortex i use this for logo recipes https://ffxiv-eureka.com/logograms
lavish vortex
@quaint flicker thanks a lot!
faint flare
Mining and botany yes
leaden ginkgo
and dont i need mining stuff for crafting everything
what does botany give never done that lol
lavish vortex
@quaint flicker the number by need is the amount you need to get all the actions taht use that item?
faint flare
Logs, sap, nature stuff in general
leaden ginkgo
is it good stuff
faint flare
Can be yes
silent zodiac
I have a RAF code for a friend, does anyone know where he goes to submit it? He is not a trial, he bought the game yesterday but hasn't subbed yet, he is still on his free month
leaden ginkgo
i feel like u need be miner if ur a black smith/armor
faint flare
Should be same location you found your code aesy
Is where he submits
Miner is used often in blacksmith
Mining and botany stretch across alot of the crafters
plush hound
@leaden ginkgo all the gatherers help all the crafters, whether directly or indirectly
leaden ginkgo
yeah but do i need botany for black smith
faint flare
Crafting and gathering is one package essentially
leaden ginkgo
if not i wont bother learning it
faint flare
You may need it to make some stuff from another crafter that thr blacksmith needs
quaint flicker
@lavish vortex thats the minimum logogram needed to complete each category, though i find myself needing way more for most of them because of the appraising RNG with Drake
silent zodiac
@faint flare When he goes there all he sees is this
faint flare
Crafting is like that
plush hound
The least notable effect is fishing. Botany and mining are largely equal.
leaden ginkgo
well i guess uh is the botany in limsa?
plush hound
Botany is in Gridania
leaden ginkgo
ok so like I should focus on crafting though when i get ishgard thingy right?
i just got into HW and my crafting levels are pretty low
plush hound
The benefit is you don't have to limit yourself. You can take ALL the gatherers and ALL the crafters and level them up as you see fit.
fresh lodge
There should be an option on the main page of Mogstation to enter a RAF code
remote lintel
he's not supposed to click the recruit a friend banner
leaden ginkgo
cuz im not doing beast tribes lol
faint flare
They're very good and very easy for levelling crafters and gatherers
Extremely quick for easy xp
leaden ginkgo
what ishgard?
faint flare
Beast tribes
plush hound
Both, the Ishgardian crafts require unique materials that can only be gathered from The Diadem. So it's either work on gatherers as well or be prepared to put out a LOT of gil on the MB.
leaden ginkgo
which is faster
plush hound
@leaden ginkgo Ishgard is a city that opens up to players whn they start the Heavansward storyline.
leaden ginkgo
cuz to unlock the moogle i have to do like 45 sub quest
fresh lodge
Both
faint flare
You do them both
open ember
ishgard is better for fast leveling
leaden ginkgo
yes i have it unlocked
fresh lodge
Beast tribes are daily locked
leaden ginkgo
ok ill do ishgard
open ember
beast tribes are time gated
faint flare
Takes like 2mins
open ember
so theyre not effective
fresh lodge
So you would do your beast tribes every day then do Ishgard
open ember
yes
leaden ginkgo
i mean i dont even see the point of me crafting rn
open ember
if you ONLY level with beast tribes
faint flare
Its 2mins work for like 10%
fresh lodge
Why would you
leaden ginkgo
i cant do either of them
fresh lodge
You do beast tribes first then do Ishgard
faint flare
We're saying do both
leaden ginkgo
no my crafting level is like level 10
faint flare
Not just one
leaden ginkgo
max is 17
fresh lodge
The do Ixali
plush hound
@leaden ginkgo if you don't want to then don't. There's nothing that requires you to do them.
leaden ginkgo
nope havent even done those fetch quest either
faint flare
Daily grand company turn ins are also very good daily
leaden ginkgo
didnt even know it existed until today
fresh lodge
Go unlock Ixali
leaden ginkgo
@plush hound i do ishgard jsut seems easier
open ember
i just crafted the highest thing i could till lv20 and then did ishgard
leaden ginkgo
I dont see the point of doing tribes if the reward isnt the same
fresh lodge
The reward is XP
leaden ginkgo
i gotta do 40+ quest to get minimual reward
where as in ishgard i get a lot of reward
fresh lodge
Ixali also gives you the materials you need to craft with
open ember
beast tribes is nice exp and you should try to them anyway
fresh lodge
You don't have to gather them
plush hound
@leaden ginkgo well I mean if you don't want to do crafting or gathering, then don't. The only things that require them are certain beast tribes.
granite swan
wait seriously?
leaden ginkgo
i never said i dont wanna craft
granite swan
goes and actually does ixtali :p
faint flare
Beast tribes take like 2 minutes to do
And most the time is spent travelling
And you get like 10% of a level daily
For free
open ember
most of the stuff you make from beast tribes arent even HQ. it just asks you to make it
leaden ginkgo
yeah ishgard gives me a level
fresh lodge
Ixali will give you more than a level a day at level 10
fresh lodge
Its not
leaden ginkgo
10+ quest=long
plush hound
The main questline for the Ixal is not that long though it is the longest of the ARR Beast Tribes. The catch is you have to do daily quests to build up reputation between them.
faint flare
Casual 4 levels a day and you can just buy the turn in items
fresh lodge
We're talking about the unlock quests only @plush hound
granite swan
My problem with Grand Company turn ins, is i have no idea how to make most of them lol
fresh lodge
Uhhhh
leaden ginkgo
moogle unlock is like 50+
fresh lodge
Check the crafting log?
faint flare
Right click > search for receipe
leaden ginkgo
I refuse to do that
leaden ginkgo
so what materials does ixali give?
faint flare
Just buy them 5head
plush hound
@leaden ginkgo These can be purchased depending on your rank with them:
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Ixali_Daily_Quests#Rewards
fresh lodge
What do you mean materials?
granite swan
Ixali give you access to a Mount + dyes and some other stuff once you raise their rep
fresh lodge
Ixali has exclusive stuff
fresh lodge
Then Ixali is perfect for that
leaden ginkgo
to what level would u say
plush hound
Viable all the way to 50.
granite swan
You only get X beasts a day, i think its like 3? so your limited that way
halcyon glen
3 quests per tribe, a total of 12 across all tribes per day
plush hound
@granite swan The ARR tribes are different. The amount you get is dependent on rank.
leaden ginkgo
ok so like when should i focus harder on crafting when I hit shb? cuz rn the stuff i craft is fodder stuff
plush hound
At rank 4+ you can fill all 12 slots just on Ixal.
halcyon glen
Do Ixal every day until you get to 50, and if you want to level outside that go to Ishgard
granite swan
Ahh
leaden ginkgo
yeah ill prob do that then
halcyon glen
Until you’re a level 80 it’s all fodder @leaden ginkgo
Level 80 crafter that is
Or like glams
halcyon glen
You ain’t crafting anything functional until you’re a level 80 crafter
granite swan
when you have the money to invest
halcyon glen
^
plush hound
Most of the time you'll need the gear your trying to craft while your trying to craft it.
halcyon glen
Gear
leaden ginkgo
yes cant i just gather it
flat summit
As a complete ubernewb trying to start my demo soon (when its done downloading): If I'm going to be playing lancer->dragoon as my first/primary job, what crafting should I work on initially?
leaden ginkgo
well illbuy that but its cheap
remote lintel
crafters are leveled all together
and its easier to do it at level cap
and crafted gear isnt the best
leaden ginkgo
uh crafters level together?
granite swan
they share gear
vestal needle
leaden ginkgo
yeah but there levels are the same
halcyon glen
Ideally you want to level all crafters at the same time
remote lintel
they should be leveled together
granite swan
not meeting quality standard?
west spruce
1 collectability
granite swan
It needs 50 Quality, that item is 1 Quality
plush hound
@leaden ginkgo no, each crafter has it's own levels. Ideally you should level them together to better control your materials.
leaden ginkgo
uh thats kinda hard without the tribes/ishgard
