Which is why you use Ishgard
maybe to like 20
And tribes when possible
bonus xp for each new item you craft, so just start at the top and work down the list
yeah so i shouldnt even focus on crafting until SHB then
That's up to you
It’s usually not worth it, unless you’re in it for glams and such, until 80 no
Being in ShB won't make levelling up crafters any easier
besides ocean fishing, is ishgard restor good for fishhing exp?
yeah but ill have access to basically everything to craft
im lv 67
I mean, it makes 71-80 easier for damn certain since Dwarves exist
if your just gonna spam ishgard, just do it all after u beat HW
Fishing in Diadem isn't bad, but ocean fishing is the best method.
Yeah but when you're only level 10, thinking about level 71+ is a pipe dream
idk i seen ishgard videos and its pretty fast
is there any way to mute the X has logged in. shit from poppin up in my log? muting the fc chat didnt fix it
It is fast, but they dump alot of money into mass buying the materials
You also have to do class quests
how much gil is a lot
@weary umbra its fc announcements
That said, I found the Fishing grind and leves for ShB not too bad. I was leveling faster than expected doing that.
class quest is fine
That’s excessive for crafter leveling
I think he meant in relation to leveling crafters
oh 
yeah for ishgard lol sorry
My biggest expense was the stupid jewelry for CP, but i didnt level goldsmith yet ot make my own >.>
But as a practical matter, since you’ve indicated you don’t care about fun stuff and only care about practical crafts, most of the stuff you want to craft is only useful by level 80 characters anyway
i think i spent like 4-600k on 20ish set and 50 set
that got u to 80?
When is 5.35 coming out?
Nah i stopped at 50 armorer, cause i wanted to finish msq
You’re not going to be crafting gear for yourself at any level outside 80
nope
my new classes
will need gear
not farming allgan poetics for gear or buying it
nah ill just craft it
And take a 30 ilvl hit. For 3 times the effort.
So don’t farm Prae it sucks
@crisp mural no date for it
And I apologize if I made that impression
Idc about the top gear I just find the crafting aspect of it fun lol
Fair enough. In that case, as long as you have the Gil to burn on crafter gear, the patience and will to gather mats, and the MSQ progression to unlock Ishgard Resto there’s really no best time!
You can do it whenever
I'm being told we can reorder local linkshells now, but it seems like we're only still able to do that for cwls. Am I missing something?
It’s not going to magically get easier once you’re in Shadowbringers
I know but I didnt know if there are certain recipes or w.e u unlock in SHB
I dont wanna craft stuff after HW if there is hidden stuff in SHb rather have access to it all
Yes, but those are level 80 relevant only
You’re not going to unlock level 60 crafts by completing Shadowbringers
thats not what im saying
if i was level 80 rn in HW im sure there is gear that is only allowed to be crafted at SHB or is that not a thing ?
how long after arr second credits do you get to ishgard
I believe so. Each level cap is the only time there’s “Master” crafts you unlock, which afaik are in each expansion’s endgame area
That’s Revenant’s Toll, Idyllshire, Rhalgr’s, and Eulmore respectively
what is a quick way to level a job from level 1 after changing jobs?
yeah thats what I was wondering but if its not a big deal ill start it after HW thank you everyone
are there any mount quests for level 35 and under, after the my little chocobo
quest
@leaden ginkgo Hunting Log to start with
!faq altlvlguide
@gusty storm you can skip credits
If the second ARR credits are where I think they are, like one quest after @gusty storm
That said, as Channy pointed out I skipped them so they very well could be somewhere stupid and random
That’s the end of 2.0,
but the end of ARR as whole, no
unchecking free company announcements didnt work
you've got the patch msq to go thru, 2.1-2.55
So in that case, 81 MSQ to Ishgard
nevermind im an idiot
Plus two side stories that are mandatory
uh where do i go for hull interior component matierals?
Hull Interior Component is a beast tribe craft
So just equip the gloves and craft it afaik
oh u get gloves?
I dont see gloves lol
Then you need to progress the quest further
Hey, can you mix and match the airship parts?
like say, Invincible 2 parts w Enterprise parts?
@leaden ginkgo They give you the gloves and material for the hull if your doin Ixali
i have to talk to quiirn
so after maint if i just punched in my pw in the launcher the green play button would just light up once maint was done right?
you'd need to navigate away and back to the main login
what, even on the launcher?
afaik it wont instantly update when the server is up
hm ok thanks
??????????????????where did you buy it? it wont charge you until you decide on a new name and it checks the server you're in to make sure its not taken
can you spam puppet's bunker if you only want the minion? or minion is counted towards the 3 loots you can get per week?
can you spam puppet's bunker if you only want the minion?
@zinc kelp yup
character rename service flags your character for rename, so when you log in you are prompted to change it
@candid sigil It probably has you do it on Character Selection
yes
alright
thanks @quasi widget
@twilit arch thx
yeah when i give the compotents to the girl it doesnt let me craft it lmao
i didnt get the prompt
A question of sheer curiosity, is the ffxiv housing market reddit against ToS?
@leaden ginkgo you dont give her anything, you craft from the menu?
oh i didnt know the gloves where there lmao
@twilit arch didnt give me a prompt
you're certain you selected the correct character
kewl, ya sometimes the system can be a bit slow

hey kael are you able to confirm if you punch in your pw in the launcher after maint that the green "play" button doesnt update right away after maint ends?
idk about the new version of the launcher, but i know for the old one you had to like click on "world" and then click back in order for the button to change
basically "refreshing" the launcher so to speak without having to completely close it
How do I reduce the size of SMN's pet?
whats the best face preset to make cloud/squall inspired face
So as a free player I cant do anything but level up?
Teammate's pet
no guilds or anything?
for bahamut /bahamutsize [subcommand] is the command.
kk
change subcommand to small to make it smaller
hi all, is there a vendor that sells 60+ crafter accessories?
alright thanks kael
uh last thing when i do beast tribe quest
the class i want leveled i should have equiped right?
at the end
hi all, is there a vendor that sells 60+ crafter accessories?
@ocean flower check kugane dori markets
Urake in Kugane
thank yu
is it a thing to wait 5 mins for palace of the dead and then on xx2 floor pull all and die and fail ?
PoTD before 51-60 is kinda a grab bag
:S
Once you get 51-60 its ezpz tho >.>
Just fought a wannabe General Grevius ... idk if im playing FFXIV or SWTOR >.>
@granite swan do the black tribe quest change depending on the class u had equiped?
No idea, ive only done a single Ixali on Armorer
I think they are randomized each day tho, maybe?
did they remove carboncoat and stuff from auriana in mor dhona?
I don't see her selling it anymore :x
If its the material to augment stuff, ya everything is pre-augmented except the final stuff
so there's no way to get them anymore to augment my old gear? o.o
I think you augment it via Calamity Salvager for like 100 poetics each?
ooh ok, let me check
Hello, i have a problem i said ingame that i use my gf account when whes "not here" and then she said while she's in bathroom, do you think it can be ban for account sharing ? cuz 2 guys said that they're gonna report me
lol
These NPCs totally have Light Sabers ...
they said its account sharing, what is against tos
They sound like a couple Karen's
i mean yeah technically, but I doubt you'll get banned for playing for your GF while she's in the bathroom lol
but i said in the chat that i don't know the password of my gf
i hope you remember the pass word so u can have a gf agian
The GM will probably ask those two morons to move on
In general in the future though it's better to just not say anything about that
unfortunately, no there's no way to augment ironworks. for some reason its not augmentable on the calamity salvagers @nova umbra
Also, why are you telling random people online how you use a service
cuz they were annoying me actually, i use it in eureka but i can't play 100% on the 2 accounts so my gf account is kinda half afk and they said thats a bot
In public chat and with any stranger around it's better to play it safe and never mention anything of the sort and just play it safe
Then block them
/\
well i'd like but its too late, they said "we have all the pieces to ban you" "you'll see"
Also whenever I do bard I also make sure it's in a private place like a locked house or something
"my gf is taking a dump, and she make me play for her a lil bit"
I mean I'm sure strangers don't want to hear me jamming but also just in case anybody feels like reporting
You're unlikely to get banned from this
Just like as I said don't mention it to strangers
You may get a GM talking to you at most lol
yeah but i just hope they're not gonna ban without knowing the truth, i dont care about my account but my gf account would be terrible for her
What Lyon said
They aren’t going to get you banned
I saw they're adding a ton of new plots for 5.35, how fast do you guys reckon they will fill?
And it’s rather laughable that they thought they “had the tools to ban you”.
Like hungry hounds on a Black Friday
Within five minutes
If anything
Everywhere will be full
They are more likely to get a warning
Except maybe a handful of goblets
Because they are technically harassing you
^
well they didnt said " we're gonna ban you" but in other words to say it, "i dont say anything else to you, you will see"
god maybe I should get a solid state drive just for this 👀
Most likely case is gms deem it not worth their time and discard the ticket
I really hope
yeah those housing plots will disappear in a blink of an eye
yeah beast tribe only gives exp for bsm ?? or does the class need be certain level first??
I know im definitely going for a goblet plot, so maybe i'll get lucky
If you are doing HW zone beady tribe, you should be using class at HW level (50-60)
@leaden ginkgo Its probly whatever class you took the quest on, thats how it is for ShB Beasttribes atleast
@leaden ginkgo the class must be at level to actually do the quest
You cannot use a lvl 50-60 beast tribe to level a lvl 5 crafter
Hes doin Ixali
Same deal
They need to add a portal onto the flagship in the final hw zone ... so tired of going back and forth
ty anyway for replying to me i'll see that in few days if my gf account is safe
is the monster hunter raid still here?
it's a trial, and it's permanent
You get it in Kugane
Wow thats depressing, get into a dungeon and "Are you here to help us, o or hunt us?"
Will my trusts report me not doing any damage in just watching them kill mobs
@scarlet sandal its just gonna take an eternity to get through the dungeon
They stack
On scale of 1-10, how important is it to read every dialogue to understand the story?
@scarlet sandal I doubt you can AFK the bosses
or atleast dodge the orange stuff ;p
are u all sure beast tribes gives quest for miners
Ixali is for Crafters
oh does it?
Yeah they're real bad quests but they exist
is it random>?????
Which tribe?
would someone on coeurl be willing to party up me and my friends? novice network is ignoring us
the ixali dailies that require gatherers aren't really...for them
we're at camp drybone
@radiant sierra You could goto one of the main hubs and ask there, might be quicker
so whos good for gathers?
they just require atleast a lvl 1 of that gatherer to gather specific items to exchange for the item you need
namazu and qitari
I said the namazu and qitari
@granite swan fair
namazu being 60-70, qitari 70-80
Yeah there's nothing any lower than that
below that, have to make use of leves/collectables/diadem (if you have restoration unlocked)
All you've got are leves and ishgard restoration
nope
ishgard
is gonna use that
im using ishgard to 80 lmao
fk beast tribews for gathering ty though
I mean it's a strategy
Anything stick out on GC to buy to burn some seals? ive got more glamour prisms then ill ever need and not sure what else to buy lol
could always just sell excess prisms
easy cordials to gather more maybe
venture tokens if you're regularly sending out retainers, also look at crafting materials (namely coke) see if they're selling well
Ah i always forget retainers cause i never figured out what to do with it lol
Oooh Echo Drops

Is there a guide for all the max level foods?
I'm trying to find something cheaper but better than nothing, for random PF Progging
Heyo, maybe strange question, how do I go about trying to find a decent FC to join for my server?
Thanks
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/it5pc2/unable_to_download_patch_files/
can anyone help with this? I've tried most solutions I've seen on the internet
did you update internet explorer
yep, and changed the settings
@ripe hound the max level foods afaik are just “what stats do you want in what order” and trust me it’s worth it to just buy the best one for your class. Odds are it’s either Sausage and Saurkraut, Herring Pie, or Stuffed Highland Cabbage.
@remote lintel tbh it might just be my router at this point if nothing decides to work
Yeah, I was thinking about cheaper foods. Something that costs around 500 each
Does anyone know if with the new plots coming out all players will be able to just buy one? Or are there the same restrictions for first time buyers as normally, with them having to first get a house via placard?
Or maybe 2000 gil per 30m is already cheap enough?
boiled eggs are 5 gil
That don’t help prog
oh
Yeah I guess I should just pay the price
im illiterate
I was thinking if stuff will be a lot cheaper if it's just one tier below the best foods
the new wards are going to function the same as previous releases in that you have to visit the placard to buy the plot
New plots should be open for purchase for all on release
One tier below is unfortunately a solid chunk of stat loss
best to just buy the bis raid food
You Always by from the placard
or level culinarian and make it yourself
It's recommended to just buy the best foods even for random PF prog and farming?
its the best for your stats
If i buy a Fantasia while im in the "Free Days waiting for sub to kick in" Limbo, will i still get it now ?
yes
k
kk thanks for the advice
Is the Fabled Kamuy a 2 seater? Says so on the wiki
I just got to the point where I have to choose between siding with Gridania, Ul~dah, and Limsa Lominsa. Is there anything I need to keep in mind while making my decision? Its a lvl 20 main story quest and I'm a healer, if that helps at all.
no fabled kamuy is 1
its a 1 seater
Dang ok ty
@idle chasm Do you like Red, Blue/Black, or Yellow? :p
@idle chasm pick the one with cooler gear
what wiki are you looking at
Functionally identical bar locations and glam options
the Grand Company you choose won't have any meaning beyond the uniforms that you're allowed to pick up
Also join the Twin Adder because we’re the best
Ah, oki! Thanks!
And Kan-E is cool
Maelstrom #1, Till Sea Swallows All!
^
and cause we dont have to clean our armor, all the blood and gore just add to the red color 
I prefer Uldah, but mael glam is best
I kinda want the skimpy uldah glam for caster tho >.>
if i am mid-ceremony quest with someone and i wanna divorce them how do i go about doing that? we have the outfits and rings + did most of the quests, i think we are literally at just the part where we need to schedule a date
dont think you can divorce in the middle of the wedding quest
sorry quick q can i do the e5s-e8s out of order or do i have to do them in order
any order
You can do any
hey, PotD says my gear doesnt meet minum strength requirements.
word perfect ty
but ive just finished one
ohhh, do i need to use the other slot to start over and get some aetherpool then ?
so, it wont be that fast to get to 50 right?
depends on how many upgrades you find along the way
thanks for your answer
Nope, you need some aetherpool upgrades
i hope ii dont find another all floor puller again u.u
what is the hardest content to do in this game savage or ultimate
Ultimates
can you solo savage alexander at lvl 80 and gear?
i see
Ultimate is harder than Savage by a few orders of magnitude.
Clearing an ultimate fight usually takes over 100 hours of prog as a static
so, um, I am pretty stuck. I am on the MSQ "The Converging Light" and I cant enter the dungeon. My ilvl is only 451. I am not sure what is my best choice to get higher ilvl to 460? What should I do?
Buy more deepshadow stuff
Or spend gil and get neo ishgardian
Also go get your free i485 relic weapon if you have done the lv70 24mans
You need 465 for the final trial
oh, alright. Well, I will do that. thanks. Just takes forever. Guess a lot to grind.
Hey guys! how do you increase your saddlebag? My friend has 140
I'm trying to figure it out on google but I fell on the premium service thingy, do you have to pay for this?
it's pay per month?
how should I juggle with BLM's MP management? Go to Ice stance and wait for 10,000 MP and back to fire, or I should go fire before MP is recovered excessively (like change to fire at 8,600. One more tick and it reaches 10, wasting some MP recovery amount)
Get full mana before swapping
Otherwise you'll lose fire casts
With 3 stacks of Ice, you'll be full mana after 2 ticks
So by the time you've applied thunder and put up B4, you'll be capped
if Thunder spells proc a free Thunder, should I priortize it? Or wait for current Thunder debuff to run out first?
Wait as long as possible
evening all - can someone take a swing at this Q - if im looking at a piece of gear and i hit ctrl - it shows an increased set of stats and an icon kinda like a swirl anyone know what that is? if been looking online for a good 20 min
But dont let the proc fall off
If you use it immediately then you reduce the potency of the previous Thunder cast that put the initial dot up
Holding Control swaps between normal quality (NQ) and high quality (HQ)
Waiting on it helps keep thunder up on the boss majority of the time
how can i get previous stages of anima weapon?
The actual stats are always without Ctrl down. Holding down Ctrl lets you see alternate stats to see for instance what the HQ version of an item would look like
ah so it shows me what the HQ variant would be?
i have the full thing done
yeah
ok thnx all - i didnt wanna come here first had to give it a go first 🙂
Relic weapons can't be put into the glamour dresser right? You can only put the replicas in?
what does it cost to get?
A few gil
oh ok
does relic weapon's replica render weapon quest series useless for glamoring? Or they are different things?
The replicas are for getting previous stages of the relic for glamour
You need to progress the quest past a certain point to even buy replicas
ah ok
kinda like Calamity Salvager
is there a way to turn in dungeon gear in bulk for GC seals? Clicking one by one and hearing fanfare for dozens of times feel tiring
What is the main tank strat for Shiva Unreal? I see 3 different ones in description for Party Finder right now????

Is spamming dungeons one of the fastest ways to level alts?
through duty roulette?
!faq altlvlguide

But yes, daily roulettes then highest level dungeon spam

Buninja is there to comfort you after your failure
it looks like i hit my class upgrade quest for level 30 - Im only at the L20 set of quests, should i wait until i have hit the L30 quest and try to keep in order?
You need to do lvl 20 quest before you can do lvl30
From the description
I assume that this player is at lvl 2X 
And have completed the lvl 20 Slyph Management msq
And is currently eligible to do the lvl 30 job unlock 
its the L30 job 'upgrade quest - my char is is at L32 just did all the grand company stuff, it would let me accept and to the vlass upgrade arc -> bard but should i wait until ive hit the L30 quests in the chain
prob how i should have said it - just too long and its late lol
Either or is fine
ok if it doesnt matter - ok thanks 🙂
After i do my first daily Duty Roulette, should i keep doing it for most XP, or should I go to dungeons tab and just do one specific whichever is highest?
so, almost 1 month into the game and I still fail to realize why Dragoon is being laughed at. Why is it considered a meme by a lot of people when DRG feels really good and buffs entire teams
Because a lot of Dragoon players are utter trash

I have a BLU that i spent the entire night leveling (60 now), and then went to get every open world skill. Is there an “essential skills list” that i can look at to figure out what to get next?
@twilit abyss Depends on content and role you are planning to do
Some spells have higher priority over other depending on content you are doing
Where do I go to purchase a house?
need to find an available plot first, then you go to the placard and click, and click, and pray, and click..
you can see the wards from aetherytes in the main cities (uldah/gridania/limsa) and thus see if there's any available housing there that way.. you gotta click through each ward/sub-ward though
@twilit abyss Depends on content and role you are planning to do
@young fjord i plan to eventually get everything. 🤣
Is there any way to fix this problem? I press start, this loads for a few seconds then kicks me out, I'm on crystal for reference
nvm lmao it's fixed
i'll keep that noted for future reference! thank you :D
is there another way than the npc to queue up for potd so i can do fates on another map while waitingß
just finished AAR, what should I do for gear progression?
if you open your currencies tab, under the battle section you should have some tomestones of poetics
if you have about 600
go grab an augmented ironworks weapon for yourself
and continue the story
like is there any specific progression path I can follow?
not really a need to
or do I just continue the story till I finish all 3 ex
MSQ as in till shadowbringers?
yes
i see
if you have spare poetics
you can grab augmented ironworks pieces at 50
augmented shire at 60
and augmented scaevan at 70
why does it say I have 2000/2000 peotics
those will last you to 55/65/75 respectively
can i increase the cap or spend it ?
then you have 2k to spend
you have to spend it won't go over that
you can only hold 2k at a time
!faq poetics
is there another way than the npc to queue up for potd so i can do fates on another map while waiting?
nope
ooh shd I go for those anima weapons?

cuz im a new player but I'm pretty keen on investing for a sword since I wanna play paladin/sam
Once you queue up, you can leave the area
are relic weapons worth getting?
Aside from dungeons and raids XIV content is mostly single player?
Old relic weapons are purely glamour
They're way too grindy to be actually functional
i dont think i can trade poetics for sam weapons tho
You can
how would one test for lag/latency? The server that Im on thats usually "poor" is "good" today but I dont beleive that
Same place as the other weapons
how
Aurina
might wanna try to work my way to holding a shiny weapon
Or people in the main cities
Relic weapons are highly advised to be done at cap
They're VERY VERY grinfy
Books will kill your soul
sry u might have to drop me a guide/link cuz I'm like fresh graduated from AAR
oh is it
ok then I guess I could settle for something else
Go to the sundry splendor people in the main cities
They sell poetic gear
Along with aurina and aelina in mor dhona

can poetics get lvl 80 gear?
nope
No
:c
Different currency
poetics is for old endgame gear
80 gear isnt too grindy right?
its not grindy at all
Nothing is really grindy...except relics
so i assume i just buy grade 3 thanalan?
Not if you want gear
i could do with some GIL right now
Hello !
So...i wanna if it’s possible to make a random alliance through duty finder
Yes
Or if there are other ways of recruiting
I did it yesterday and I couldn’t get the estimated players after 30mins passing
For which
Labyrinth of the Ancients
Oh okay then
Yeah fair enough
Im currently on free trial but i’ll buy the game after hitting 60
Its a emote brought via ishgard restoration scrips
Or buy off market board
Named something like Something Wallflower
wait u are given a relic 80 weapon when u complete SB?
wait u are given a relic 80 weapon when u complete SB?
@round whale no, you must do Ivallice questline, which is lvl 70 alliance raids
err
so that goes back to my qns of what do i do with 2k poetics
cuz I just found out that they expire

nah they dont expire
they just dont cap
To unlock lvl 80 relics you must:
Complete Ivallice questline
Complete ShB main scenario (I think the main scenario refers to patch 5.0, may be wrong)
Head to Kugane to accept the quest
@round whale spend some in Scaevan gear from one of the random vendors, and sell it for gil or Grand company seals
can i trade it in for GIL tho?
Poetics don't expire
You can trade them indirectly for gil
You can buy items such as dispelling arrow for example, which you can sell on market
what do tanks use? fending or slaying?
fending
thank you
Is there a good way to make gil outside of crafting? I'm down to literally 1k gold from ishgardian crafting two up to 60 today
Sell materia
Like making gil in this game is not difficult
YOu get gil for pretty much anything you do
The only difference is how fast you want to get it and what you are spending it on
Anyone willing to sign my FC foundation form in Excalibur (Primal)? I can give you some gil in return and you can leave right after! Just missing one person.
Does anyone know where I can find a current Ninja guide? I cant access the one on the balance for some reason and im trying to figure out my rotation >.>

@tulip plover i just used this to make my own list on teamcraft
just plug every item you need to make into teamcraft
Can someone explain limitbreak
Should a tank use it or dps
limit break is a shared resource for your party
at 4 members you'll have 1 bar regularly to charge up
and 2 inside boss fights
at 8 members in a party it goes up to 3 bars
usually a dps will use it
for dps melees will do a big single target nuke
and ranged/casters will do an aoe
ranged will do a line aoe
and casters a circle aoe
I c
so in trials generally a melee will limit break to damage the boss a chunk
but in dungeons it can be used by ranged to nuke down a large trash pull
Ig I won't use it
Cos I usually run tank/healer in pve
I c
and tank lb is used in a couple of fights
Anyone can use right
only as 3 bars
its a shared resource
whoever presses it uses it for the group
tank lb is just damage mitigation for the party
3bars being the most effective
Hello, I just wanted to ask a question. I'm newer to the game and I was in a duty in Toto-rak. I had a DRK who kept spinning around the mobs, and since I play PUG, I asked them if they could hold the mobs still so I could get my positionals in and get more damage in that way. However, they didn't. Am I expected to still be able to get positionals in despite the enemies going 360 all the time?
if no one uses it you can always suggest for someone to use it
I c
or use it yourself 
people are generally guilty of it being saved for best or used as an 'anime finisher'
You shouldny worry about positionals on trash mobs are you should be aoeing them down with any aoes you have
I don't even see any anime finishers
@old hollow try your best to do positionals, later as a monk you'll have access to the actions true north and riddle of earth which will make it easier to hit them
@old hollow There is a technique of spinning mobs around to never get hit, it's very stupid and hard to do and not worth it, so they were being a moron and it sounds like you were fine
You'll be getting more aoes as you go
but in trash pulls positionals will be tougher
@tulip plover use hq materials to bring up the starting quality
use inner quiet and build stacks
I didn't have access to an AOE skill yet so it just felt so miserable. They spun around the bosses too 
yeah many people can be new and not know that doing that isn't effective
yeah that sounds like a 'hur dur spin to not get autoed' idiot
Where can i go buy hq ingredients in bulk
I don't even see any anime finishers
@vital ruin the limit break skill isn't exactly made clear to new players.
Alright, thank you. I'm glad the fault wasn't on me >.>
for bosses though, do your best to hit them
it'll be hard in trash pulls but you'll get aoe soon too
ill get there soon enough
man that took me so much longer
and then switch over to get 4th stack?
Yes
Okay makes sense.
Get 3 stacks with fire then swap just before getting the 4th
I'm assuming the grease lightning stacks + speed allows for more damage in the long run
Yes
Exactly
Okay cool o:
You have the same damage buff
Makes sense
I want to put in a reminder that Monk is getting a overhaul in the upcoming 5.4 patch
So don't get too comfy with what you know now
Understandable. I mean I still would want to know the abilities for now.
Monk is starting to grow on me.
the core concept should be the same, probably, but how it is played with will probably changed...probably
Though not being able to use tornado kick is such a bummer ..
since it looks so cool
Yeah, that's some of the few things players talked about
Since that ninja guide is down, does anyone know where else i can find some info on ninja? Googling just brings up outdated information T-T
is there a way to sort gear in the armoury by non gear set items
Riddle of earth makes monk the easiest melee dps to play. For me anyway.
@fleet moth you can use the lodestone job actions guide to see all the actions
Since I feel like I don't have to sweat positionals at that point.
True north helps too.
Correction: Doton is actually 900 potency. I forgot that ground AoEs will get one free tick upon placement, giving Doton 9 ticks of damage. All rules still apply though.
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just...
not bad
it's not that, i have my ninja at 80, im just needing to tighten up my rotation, especially during my trick window @-@
at about 36:25 is an opener example
alright i'll check it out, thanks
How does observe work
basically you use some cp to do nothing
and fish for a condition change or what not
!action observe
Sooooooo
its useful
I still dont get it
and has some abilities chained to it later on
basically while you're crafting
each step will change the condition of your craft
instead of using an action you use no action
normal, poor, great, good
these affect how much quality is gained when you use a touch skill
so ideally you don't want to use a touch skill on poor conditions
So instead of using an action you will see what will happen
yeah
Huh ill have to use it
basically in place of a poor you might use observe to wait out the poor
Im just spammin my 99 leves
So do you go mining for material when lvling
All your doh
Cuz i just fo buy it to speed things up
its up to you
if you want to save money, get it yourself
if you want to save time
buy it
Having your own gathering classes is slower because you have to level them up, of course. But it saves you a lot of money.
Hmmmm
So it's a tradeoff, really. Time vs money.
Cuz i have about a mil to blow
a mil isn't a lot in the scheme of crafting
Well i guess when getting basic mats like coppper ore and low lvl equips
A lot of mats can be just bought, yeah. It isn't until the 30s or so where you have to buy from MB or gather them yourself.
Ok making sure cuz im just powerleveling my doh to 39
30
How do you make ragstone whetstone
if you rightclick an ingredient that might be an intermediate craft
you can see how its crafted
Level 6 Goldsmith recipe
!recipe ragstone whetstone
best profession for samurai?
im a storm corporal and finished the first hunting log already, what should i do to get promoted?
ask for a promotion and it will tell you
where to ask?
Q+?
?
is it the one with Q+ on their head?
Storm Personnel Officer by the Quartermaster will promote you / tell you what your missing
no
ah i see, ok will check it later...thanks :D
atleast i dont think he has one above his head :p but its the guy behind the counter
Cat girl with weird name is for some other quests
ok i will check it later
@plain forge assuming you mean crafting class (profession isn’t a term in this game). All crafting classes except culinarian are required to make sets of samurai gear.
Katana are made by blacksmiths
Body gear is made variously by armorer, leatherworker and weaver
Accessories are made variously by carpenter, leatherworker and goldsmith
Alchemist makes various intermediate craft materials for all sorts of things.
Yeah cause a piece of armor might need leather from a leatherworker or cloth from weaver, they all kinda tie in together
Is the crafting gear from gc worth the seals
Ugh all these skills does anyone else get confused by the crafting skills
As for skills,
Synthesis = Finish item
Touch = Raise quality
Inner quiet = combo starter
Byrogoast blessing = combo finisher
-casual trash crafter
Is the crafting gear from gc worth the seals
@tulip plover the lv50 artisan set is a good 50 set for endgame arr crafting
but is eclipsed by heavensward stuff at 51

Ok so keep buying from vendor
and do your class quests to save some money
Ok
you can more or less grab a full set from just doing all your class quests
except accessories
Making a M hyur alt. What sounds better: "Alto Viatorem" or "Cirro Viatorem"?
Hello !
I wanna ask where you can get the neo-ishgardian gear set ?
And is it true it’s the highest current gear set in the game ?
Came across a sightseeing log, but /lookout or /pray didn't work. Anyone got a solution? I did my research, and there are no time or weather requirements.
is this the one in coerthas?
Yeah, Western Highlands
@leaden ginkgo the highest sets currently are Augmented Crystarium and Eden's Verse Savage gear, with Neo Ishgard being the fastest to being "savage ready" at 480, also augmentable to 490 with a small sum of Phantasmagoria
i say common but only sit is used more than once out of those iirc 
Oh...i see then
Also, you either craft or buy Neo Ishgard
And don't buy NQ since the stats for those gear pieces are significantly lower
Playing different roles in dungeons is a mixed bag. Playing as a DPS all is well, playing as a healer, im sitting here like "Wheres all the dps? this stuff is dieing to slow" Lol
BiS crafting tools would be the crafted 490 primary + secondary tool for now right? otherwise it's dragonsung + 490 secondary?
there's no such thing as crafter BiS since BiS means nothing without melds
but yes, current crafter gear required Aesthete's gear + main and off hand
Pentameld Aesthete is BiS
Dragonsung mainhand is perfectly fine for practical purposes though.
The only concern is what melds you want to do
490 is best equipment for crafting but the bestpart is the overmeld, not the items themselves
What Lyon said
Pentamelded Aesthete is good for
A doing 0-HQ craft, no HQ materials but you can finish craft with HQ result
B no worry about gearing for 12 months as Pentamelded Aesthete will last you into lvl 90 (the next expansion)
The former will save you money in the long run. Especially if you have gatherers leveled, since you can just gather on volume rather than quality.
Alright, weird question. Is there some kinda list of all the places like Waking Sands/Rising Stones that you can enter? I'm trying to get myself through all sidequests and don't wanna miss any.
The ocular, I guess?
And the glorified rose garden after stormblood title drop quest
Did Make it Rain ever happen yet?
Nah, Make It Rain is combined with Halloween this year
Huh, that's weird. I know COVID happened but you'd think they'd be able to do it at the usual time this year.
IT's because everything's happening at once
I think its more avoiding more than 2 seasonals at the same time
Since yokai is still up until 5.4
Patch, Moonfire, Rising, Ishgardian Restoration, Yo-kai, then Bozja
That's not exactly a seasonal event.
And usually we'd have it during early summer.
it's an event
Make It Rain is overdue and there's no other time to put it before 3.4
It's not an even like the others though, very few events last an entire patch.
and not have it overlap with other events that people need to dedicate time to
Let's be honest, Make It Rain can be brought back anytime, it is not that picky with the time of the year, at least it is put in now
Doesn't look like there will be a 7/11/Amazon promotion this year though, does it?
What channel do I recruit in for some help with trials?
Probably no
#recruitment-chaos
ooh I thought they were just for FCs
whats the best way to farm company seals rn
same as before turn in dungeon gear at your grand company for seals
aight
also if you're lving crafting/gathering, some high-quality turn in is nice
and if u need some fast u can use your poetics to buy augmented scaevan accessories to turn in also if u dont have another use for poetics
if you have a seal-gain scroll from squadron use it too.

Can pld Cover be clicked off manually by the casting pld?
like, is there any way to make it not run its full duration
Why does the Forlorn Maiden mob randomly appear in some FATEs?
'If the Maiden is killed before the FATE is complete you will get the Twist of Fate buff for a 50% XP Bonus on your next FATE if the current FATE is completed. You will also receive the buff if the Maiden is already dead and you only contribute to the FATE after her death. The buff WILL be removed upon changing zones.'
Is there an in-universe explanation behind her? 
'The only thing we don't know for sure is when/why the Maidens or the Forlorn will spawn, but so far we assume that it is completely random.'
old quote but tbh i doubt it really needs elaborating on
no, its just a new game play mechanic introduced in stormblood
repeated in shb
for fates
Additional q: while I get that spirits within restores MP, I also get that it's physical - thus, i'd assume getting it under FoF is vastly more preferable to using it when mp isn't full?
due to pld rotation overcapping mp towards the end
you'll be more or less able to get one inside FoF and another out of it
every minute
Yeah it’s not a consideration you need to pay attention to
Just use SW on cooldown
That’s the most important thing.
Hellooooo my fellow warriors of light lol
I have questions
0.0
I'm trying to get all the pony mounts so I can get kirin how exactly do I go about that
Farm the level 50 EX primals unsynced until the mount whistles drop
And the bird mounts as well
Level60 EX trials for birds
Ok so just put myself in a synce duty finder for the ponies
Figured. Cheers Lyon
Unsynced, party finder ad if you’re not level 80
Even at level 80 might be more convenient with a party of two or four people
Because I am a low life noob in this game lol I'm only level 58 and half way though heavensward
Yes
however, you only need a single geared level 80 to solo ARR ex trials unsynced
With a party
Make a party finder for an EX primal that says “pony farm unsync”
so one person besides yourself would be enogh
There are six ponies in ARR, seven birds in HW
so our tank dc'd but is still techically here; is this the grace period where he can return? we he get autokicked after a while or do we have to do it
Plus a bonus ARR pony, Nightmare, that’s not required for Kirin and drops rarely from Ifrit, Titan and Garuda EX
He's ded
Yeah I've been doing these extremes for about 16 hours and only came up with the water horsey
I was not lucky on the rolls
At your discretion depending on how long the party is willing to wait for them
well hes gone now
will this fill out auto or do we add members (dont think I can since im ft)
or is it better to abandon this
party leader (random) has a prompt to add members
Question about riddle of earth. So activating it doesn't simply give you the positional nullification does it? You have to take damage while its active to get it? :/
And 1 more thing just to clarify. Is rathalos still a thing? Because I looove monster hunter
yes you have to get hit
to get the positional nullification
Too bad they didn't add palico minions
Really!?
!minion Palico
Hailing from a land so distant it does not appear on any map, this catlike hunter has traveled to far eastern Othard in pursuit of his quarry─the fire-breathing Rathalos. How he came to fight by your side is a story better told over a roast leg of wyvern.
The New King On The Block (Quest)
※ Movement: Independent
※ Type: Critter
※ Cost: 15 | HP: 480
※ Attack: 40 | Speed: 4
※ Defense: 30
Increases ATK of all allies within range by 25. Duration: 6s
are able to 2 star mount speed ARR areas?
Yes, but it’s the same speed as flying, and the books don’t boost flying speed
You’d get the speed boosts from your grand company for allied seals, earned from doing Hunts unlocked at 2nd lieutenant
Wow so I want all the crossover hear from monster hunter in ff xiv. Because I have all the crossover stuff from ff in monster hunter
oh wow
Not particularly useful, more of a completionism thing
noice
Wow what a time to be alive thank you so much everyone
thanks
We have a Ranthalos fight
There is a poogie minion, Rathalos mount, orchestrion rolls, and an original MH-inspired?? outfit which is kinda whatever
Plus Palico minion and cookfire furniture
yeah the outfit is called rath mail but it... isn't
Which you get free
Yeah its not the rathalps mail
most of the things you can also buy for consolation-prize scales from completing the trial and remembering to carve (bonus if you manage to break tail)
yes
Wow cool
You can also only heal via potions
The MonHun content is accessed by accepting the level 70 quest “The New King On the Block” in Kugane.
No Echo to show you where he targets, just watch boss
is it worth doing all the 60 and 70 dungeons if i'm leveling up to 80?
You can skip them if you want
You are going to need to do them sooner or later anyway
Yeah worth doing eventually
If you want to do the Shadowbringers relic then you’ll want to do the stormblood 24-man series.
how so? for maximizing poetics?
Yeah first time bonus is pretty good
You also need SB 24man to get Shb relic weapon
You can probably solo a majority of pre-70 dungeons as a class with sustain of some kind
More roulette options = more likely faster queue
Also they’re just generally fairly fun and interesting
And have like
i see
