warped nest
Nothing is absolutely set in stone
warped nest
Monk, for example, has stance based combo. They used to have 3 weaponskill per stance
ripe hound
I mean usually you weave Dream then weave Assassinate
little swift
i wouldn't consider ability procs as "combo actions"
they would just be another ogcd if anythign
ogcd with a prerequisite to casting
patent citrus
how many ogcd do normal people can fit in between those combos?
warped nest
1
little swift
!faq weaving
zinc orbitBOT
patent citrus
can you fit in another ogcd after you do the chain combo?
warped nest
3 is physically impossible
patent citrus
ok
ripe hound
Also Savage Claw cannot be executed unless during the combo, but the description doesn't say anything
!action Savage Claw
zinc orbitBOT
ripe hound
!action Savage Claw
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
little swift
its becasue gnashing fang is the start of the combo
ripe hound
!action Gnashing Fang
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
little swift
and teh whole combo requires a cartridge
patent citrus
i learned a lot about ogcd since i rolled on scholar lol
solar shale
what are the best ways to make gil rn
warped nest
The description said it
little swift
crafting would be the easiest way to see income
warped nest
Combo Action: Gnashing Fang
ripe hound
I see
little swift
but maps are another source if you don't have access to crafters/gatehrers
ripe hound
How many people do you usually need for an 8 man map?
patent citrus
yeah crafting seems a good way, like i bought my first apartment yesterday
ripe hound
4?
solar shale
what exactly should i be crafting
little swift
How many people do you usually need for an 8 man map?
@ripe hound its doable with 3
2 even if you're careful enough
ripe hound
kk
little swift
what exactly should i be crafting
@solar shale depends on your server market
ripe hound
Study the market
halcyon glen
Generally glams and endgame potions/food sell pretty okay afaik
little swift
furniture is a good one too
solar shale
alright thanks
meager pilot
So is ishguardian restoration just completely gone now? I cant go back and level crafters in there anymore?
warped nest
If you cannot craft really high end stuff yet, you can craft materials and supply it to other crafters
Still makes decent Gil
If you know what to supply
patent citrus
in my server, it seems the home of all crafters lol
patent citrus
rip people who thinking of starting haha
faint flare
Jusy the leader board season is over
meager pilot
Is there any word on how long itll last for? Im trying to gather the money to level all my crafters in one go and want to have a timeframe for it
faint flare
Forever
faint flare
Its permanent content
meager pilot
Got it, thank you, i didnt realize you literally just answered my question already lol
faint flare
The only things that will stop are the Leaderboard seasons and the fates with the zone changing
You'll always be able to submit stuff
meager pilot
Got it, thats great, thank you
little swift
i assume when the whole place is restored
we'll just have something similar to custom deliveries
or collectables
a little space to continue to make submissions
faint flare
They'll probably just write off the stuff as "we'll need these things for maintenance"
Or something
little swift
or "items to make the place comfy"
tawdry turtle
do raids in this game get as mechanically intensive as in, say, destiny?
warped nest
Destiny raid is limited to how far they can push their mechanic design
Because there is no dedicated healer/tank
And they have to be designed under the assumption that the players are in first person view mode (some players can be forced to go into 3rd person view)
ripe hound
Is Destiny's raid really mechanically intensive?
warped nest
Is Destiny's raid really mechanically intensive?
@ripe hound comparing to other fps with bosses... Sure
leaden ginkgo
^
warped nest
Comparing to XIV, some part yes, some part no
warped nest
Juggling multiple mechanical challenge at the same time
With strict timing
And harsh punishment in failure
ripe hound
And heavy memory requirements?
warped nest
And tight coordination
tawdry turtle
it depends on the encounter but yeah
that coordination part of raids gives me life
I can definitely see that here with buff timing
ripe hound
Right, low mechanically intensive is probably something you can just stomp though, or just react with
tawdry turtle
But I saw 24 man raids being a thing and I was like "yo that must be like biggest brain"
until I heard people say alliance raids are faceroll
faint flare
Nope
ripe hound
Yeah, we don't really have savage 24 man raids
faint flare
Just avoid the bad
ripe hound
All the hard ones are 8 mans
sand stratus
individually, you matter less in alliance raids
faint flare
Savage and ultimate are the high end stuff
Extremes being in the middle
Of casual and savage
ripe hound
But yeah, generally speaking 24 man is designed to be doable for everyone
tawdry turtle
is the big brain coordination up there with savage/ultimates?
little swift
yes
faint flare
Yes
ripe hound
Where Extreme is like the easiest part of "maybe not everyone"
little swift
if you want to oversimplify how it works
faint flare
Do mechanics or you die
little swift
its "stand in this spot at the right time"
ripe hound
Generally is just "everyone stand in the correct place"
patent citrus
Does feels included, raid that makes you sad that it's hard to concentrate and it gives you emotiional scar afterwards
just kidding
yeah ultimate definitely
tawdry turtle
cause like, if you've ever played king's fall in destiny 1
ripe hound
Also random question, is WOW raids mechanically intensive? I think I heard they are?
tawdry turtle
raid's complicated as shit
guides for it are like 40 minutes long
I thought that was the coolest shit since sliced bread
fringe wedge
I wouldn't say they're mechanically intensive, Akira...at least, not compared to GW2 and FFXIV
More like....long.
little swift
40 minutes doesn't hold a candle to some of the ultimate raid guide lenghts
leaden ginkgo
yeah, but it's also like 40 mins
ripe hound
I see
little swift
i think the TEA one is like 6 hours long?
patent citrus
hmm to me as lazymacros and gse user, not really 🤔
I can just press 1-3 buttons in wow lol
leaden ginkgo
i think my average time for king's fall was over an hour
patent citrus
and still top dps, punishment isn't really harsh
fringe wedge
Yeah, maybe long isn't the right term
tawdry turtle
garden in d2 is also a fun raid
fringe wedge
They FEEL long because they're so extraordinarily boring
tawdry turtle
but anyway, raids like that are what i live for
leaden ginkgo
was fun for the first few times imo
tawdry turtle
i wanna feel my brain cells expanding
leaden ginkgo
last wish is definitely the best raid in d2
tawdry turtle
and my brain colliding with my skull at mach 6, causing multiple seizures and aneurysms
last wish is a fucking adventure
leaden ginkgo
also i realize this is #questions-and-help my bad
little swift
since we're no longer in question territory
ripe hound
Yeah FFxiv raids definitely is really energy consuming
The raids aren't long I think. I mean TEA is around 17 min?
little swift
17 minutes is quite long when everything has to be executed to near mechanical perfection
its like doing a 17 minute dance routine
ripe hound
Yeah
faint flare
With very little breaks
ripe hound
It feels really long
warped nest
It looks "easy" on video, because they solved multiple problems with their positioning and you didn't even know they did
thorny jungle
Quick question au ra can wear helmets right they’re not like the viera right?
warped nest
Yeah
ripe hound
Yeah
thorny jungle
Sick thank you
ripe hound
Wait Viera can't wear helmets?
queen flame
I made a marauder. If I want to switch to Gladiator, how do I do that?
ripe hound
They just automatically hide them?
twilit arch
certain helms, yes
zinc orbitBOT
thorny jungle
Yeah most of them are hidden
twilit arch
its how their ears are programed or w/e
jade quartz
Majority of helmets do not appear on Viera or Hrothgar
Stuff like glasses and headbands do
Hrothgar can wear full-face helmets with no face parts visible, Viera cannot
ripe hound
Weird.
warped nest
@queen flame once you finish your lvl 10 marauder quest, you are free to get new classes
To become a Gladiator
You need to talk to the NPC in the Gladiator guild located in uldah
The other starting city
faint flare
Not from limsa
twilit arch
that said, full helms like chocobo head do work on viera
patent citrus
ship definitely, lol
faint flare
Limsa is sea locked and you need a ship out
queen flame
So i need to unlock the ability to take a ship first then.
faint flare
Yes, which is lv15 story
queen flame
Daaang okay.
calm phoenix
Heavensward really hammered the solo duties, hasn't it?
queen flame
I'm doing story, but overleveling like crazy
ripe hound
Yeah, feel free to overlevel or level other classes and jobs
But then everything is gated by MSQ
queen flame
I wanted to but can't lol, cause i need to take the ship.
ripe hound
Yeah, need to do the lv 15 MSQ probably
queen flame
And I'm not playing arcanist
upper pendant
what are the easiest/fastest ways to get alexandrite and materia? I'm doing the novus step for my relic weapon and i need 75 of each ;-;
ripe hound
What other classes are in Limsa?
ripe hound
Do you have access to Rogue at early game?
faint flare
Lv10
midnight sable
Yea
warped nest
You can't make a new character as a rogue
queen flame
Oh I could make rogue
ripe hound
kk so you can go for that
queen flame
Yeah, noice. thanks guys
ripe hound
You can also go for some End game OP classes, like Fisher
warped nest
But yeah, you can grab rogue once you finish your lvl 10 class quest
ripe hound
Or Culinarian
twilit arch
@upper pendant treasure maps for alexandrite. can buy mysterious maps from auriana in mor dhona. for materia, the marketboard
ripe hound
kk have fun
queen flame
I like it
leaden ginkgo
how can I get the purple weapon that's ilvl 485?
ripe hound
Also I think that purple weapon is ilv 485
leaden ginkgo
yes, you're right, it's 485
ripe hound
Skillspeed is useless for casters, and spellspeed is useless for other classes right?
faint flare
Yes
ripe hound
kk
faint flare
Skill speed is only physical people, spell speed is only caster/healers
ripe hound
kk
And for most classes, you can double weave if the GCD is instant right?
Can you double weave as Monk?
queen flame
Archer is physical?
calm phoenix
The "sounding out the Amphitheatre" solo duty renders me out of MP very quickly! That was unfair to do solo
ripe hound
kk
At what GCD does double weave clips?
2.4 GCD is still slow enough right?
Or for most classes it usually don't matter?
leaden ginkgo
how can I unlock Garuda EX?
I'm at the waking sands but Urianger won't give me the quest
faint flare
There's a 0.7s animation lock on all skills, so 3 of them (gcd +2ogcds) is 2.1s
ripe hound
kk, seems like most jobs can safely double weave
twilit arch
if you've already done primal nature, then the unlock for garuda ex will be in gridania @leaden ginkgo
ripe hound
As BRD you have to double weave right? Since there are too many glowing buttons
faint flare
Yes
faint flare
It hits the ground running decently well...got the introductions to the first two zones to hammer in the threat

signal fable
hi there, I'm new here. I'm from Malaysia. I'm not sure which region I should register under. NA/EU/JP?
obsidian patio
JP is probably your best bet for good ping, with the elemental datacenter being where most English speakers play on
random inlet
can i use glamour plates only in big cities?
warped nest
hi there, I'm new here. I'm from Malaysia. I'm not sure which region I should register under. NA/EU/JP?
@signal fable take note that there are two part to this
account region vs data center
account region affects the currency you pay your subscriptions in
data center is where your characters play
you can have a EU region account, and play in JP data center for example
random hollow
what are the orange spheres on the map?
faint flare
Points of interest
random hollow
like here it means Amphiteathre Point of interest?
warped nest
yeah
random hollow
is there a way to use them for auto walking or something or they are just for reference?
signal fable
@signal fable take note that there are two part to this
@warped nest yeap, I understand data center. I'm just not sure of the account region for my Square Enix account.
warped nest
doesn't really matter tbh
unless your card doesn't pay in certain currency
for Malaysia, our currency is weak AF anyway
doesn't matter if we pay JPY, USD, or Euro
TwT
signal fable
are you from Malaysia too?
signal fable
your account is in NA or EU?
warped nest
NA, only because i made it when i was studying in NA
signal fable
because, I feel like EU is so much cheaper.
signal fable
hey, no, thanks for your help!
warped nest
oh
just to make sure you are informed
you cannot cross buy expansions from other regions
you cannot say, grab a EU key because it is on sales, and try to stick it to a NA/JP account
ripe hound
Does Alliance Raid Roulette give more EXP than a random dungeon?
warped nest
alliance raid roulette should yield less total exp than leveling roulette
should be roughly the same ballpark as queueing a dungeon directly
ripe hound
Yeah, I did leveling today. I was thinking about doing lv 79 dungeon or Alliance raid
I'm at lv 79 with 65% of a exp bar
warped nest
alliance raid first
signal fable
you cannot say, grab a EU key because it is on sales, and try to stick it to a NA/JP account
@warped nest gotcha, thanks again for the help! glad to get some info from a fellow Malaysian.
ripe hound
Yeah I guess Roulette should give more EXP then random dungeons
Nah I'll just run another alliance raid
warped nest
i am fairly sure that lvl 79 dungeon will give just enough to hit 80
ripe hound
Then ShB Role quests, then Fates
warped nest
if you are sitting at 65 percent
white star
How feasilble it is to do alphascape savage unsync with 3-4 people? Followed up questions do you get drops?
warped nest
@signal fable have fun
drops yes
feasible... ummm... depends on which fight, but probably not very
wind nexus
I’m actually going nuts that my ps4 controller isn’t working on pc, if anyone can help me figure it out that would be cool
warped nest
steam should have native support
if you aren't playing on steam
maybe try installing driver?
wind nexus
I am playing on steam
I launched in big picture mode too, it it means anything
The controller responds on steam but not FFXIV
I’ve used it on other games like NeiR and DS3 on steam also
wintry chasm
Screenshot your HUD
wind nexus
my HUD?
wintry chasm
Trust me
wind nexus
wintry chasm
Oh God it's ugly
wind nexus
well I don’t typically play on controller
wintry chasm
But no I was expecting you had your game set to keyboard and mouse but it doesn't seem like you do
wind nexus
Yeah I thought that might have been a reason why it didn’t work
So I switched it, and relaunched the game in big picture mode and it still doesn’t work
my friend said she just plugs it in and it works just fine but it’s completely non-responsive for me
I’ve also tried it wired and Bluetooth
my controllers glowing blue so I know it’s working and connected it’s just completely unresponsive on FFXIV
mind u I’ve been 100% a mouse and keyboard player so idk if I maybe disabled some setting or what
gusty siren
is the novice network server specific
wintry chasm
Yes
I guess it's just worth checking
Go to character config and look at the top left section of the menu and make sure it's set to controller
wind nexus
wintry chasm
I'm out of ideas. My knowledge with stuff like this is limited
wind nexus
its so weird that other people can just plug it in and it works but it's fighting me so hard lol\
warped nest
technologies are built by the few smart people to accomodates for idiots like us TwT
i am that guy who just restart everything in hope it will work
wind nexus
but i did that and it didnt work so im out of ideas lmao
wind nexus
it is 100% unresponsive
warped nest
and isn't doing stuff like sending weird input (cuz Nintendo Switch Pro Controller does this)
warped nest
try downloading and installing DS4 windows
wind nexus
you dont need it tho

jovial tendon
for Garland Tools, is there a way to set it so that i can make it say where to gather things rather than just purchase everything from NPCs? it usually just says buy everything from idyllshire now but i'd rather just gather it
warped nest
@wind nexus we are out of ideas to be honest, don't take what i am gonna say the wrong way, but you might have better chances if you ask in r/ffxiv
they have daily question thread with very high visit count
wind nexus
ive asked and ive gotten no responces
warped nest
i am sorry to hear that
wind nexus
ive been trying to find a fix for over a month

is it still possible to get the faire joi?

In Mogstation, or use the set from shisui which looks very similar

ic ic, not high level yet so ont sure what shisui is haha
calm phoenix
I have done Garuda and Ifrit hard and I am already into Heavensward but I was never given the opportunity to do Garduda or Ifrit extreme! There is no quest for them at the Waking sands! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
faint flare
Lv63 dungeon
obsidian patio
The starting quest for Garuda/Ifrit/Titan extreme is Primal Nature in the waking sands at vesper bay
That’s where Mog/Leviathan/Shiva extreme are too. Ramuh extreme is in new Gridania
halcyon glen
Also don’t do extremels until past HW
calm phoenix
I have done that quest but no Garuda or Ifrit
ancient eagle
Anyone know how long a realm reborn is since they cut out some of the fetch quests? The main story specifically
obsidian patio
To note: the Scion base in Vesper Bay is the Waking Sands. The one in Mor Dhona is The Rising Stones.
ancient eagle
Thank you ❤️
obsidian patio
It has links to each patch and story arc of the leveling story
calm phoenix
Quest is done. No option to do those fights
obsidian patio
Nope you don’t have it done.
halcyon glen
Primal Nature, not A Recurring Problem
obsidian patio
No wait I see it now
calm phoenix
It says done
halcyon glen
Ah
obsidian patio
Does Urianger not have a quest called “Gale-force Warning”?
halcyon glen
So grab the follow up quest
calm phoenix
no
calm phoenix
All he had was Shiva extreme
halcyon glen
At The Adder’s Nest
calm phoenix
And Ifrit?
halcyon glen
They’re a chain
halcyon glen
Garuda -> Titan -> Ifrit
faint flare
Because arr is wack
ripe hound
You can only have 3 Specialist Crafters right?
jade quartz
correct
obsidian patio
Yes
ripe hound
Can you change them?
warped nest
yes
jade quartz
but changing them is pretty easy
faint flare
Yed
ripe hound
kk
faint flare
3 per week
warped nest
talk to the npc in Ishgard
jade quartz
yep, buy a soul of the crafter with yellow scrips and bring it to the specialist NPC in Ishgard
ripe hound
got it
warped nest
you can stock as many Soul of crafter as you can
jade quartz
can change up to 3 specs a week, and you won't need more than that
warped nest
then yeah, what Lyon said
ripe hound
kk
sturdy mason
5th Astral Moon is basically September right?
jade quartz
Yep
sturdy mason
I've been playing this game for about a year now and I still find myself in here constantly
When do you ever stop learning new things about FFXIV? lol
jade quartz
I still learn stuff I was mistaken about all the time
little swift
Never tbh more stuff always added
jade quartz
and I've been playing over five years 
obsidian patio
I’ve been around since PS4 launch, which was like 2.25 or so
inland umbra
For end game content and raids, which class would be more desirable if I join pugs - melee dps/ranged dps? I'm really liking Samurai and Summoner but want to specialize in one first
sturdy mason
Can't go wrong with anything except Blue Mage lol
warped nest
the key is to be able to perform well with the job you pick
while handling mechanic
if your group fail a raid by a hair because you didn't bring a job with more personal DPS (assuming you are equally skilled on both)
that's probably a group responsibility
calm phoenix
Where is the quest for Titan Extreme?
calm phoenix
Not there for me and I completed hard
wintry chasm
Gotta do Garuda EX first though
calm phoenix
Damn ninja'd
little swift
you can't avoid the login queue
wintry chasm
Even if you world visit?
little swift
even if you were to world visit to another world and then log off
you'll have a queue from there
wintry chasm
Huh
calm phoenix
Adder's Nest does NOT have the Garuda quest 😦
wintry chasm
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Primal_Nature Did you do this first?
jade quartz
Interact with Vorsaile Heuloix
calm phoenix
I am blind as a bat. Garuda is already in my list albeit in a weird order. Between Ultimate Weapon and Thornmarch, the first two that I got. Why did it insert her between those two?
obsidian patio
It’s sorted by content release order
jade quartz
That's the logical place where it belongs if you're familiar when when they released and become available.
obsidian patio
And also item level requirement
calm phoenix
But no Ifrit at Adders Nest
obsidian patio
Complete Garuda extreme
calm phoenix
I thought that was for Titan, not Ifrit
jade quartz
Garuda EX > Titan EX > Ifrit EX
wintry chasm
Get Ifrit
jade quartz
they must be completed in that order
verbal forge
should i unlock eureka?
wintry chasm
If you want
faint flare
If you want
jade quartz
IF you want.
wintry chasm
That's the Stormblood relic stuff
verbal forge
I see
faint flare
Do you wanna do relic stuff
jade quartz
It's not required
verbal forge
and those relics are just for glamour now?
rocky osprey
so at what level can i get a mount
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
See top half
verbal forge
but do people still go to eureka?
faint flare
Some do
jade quartz
it's a wee bit of a grind, but unlocks some glamours, old relic weapons, potentially some odd stuff like mounts and minions and emotes
oh yes
wintry chasm
the area syncs to the amount of people active in Eureka
verbal forge
i see
faint flare
Especially knocking it out before bojza
wintry chasm
so if there are lots of people on the content is harder
wintry chasm
if no one is doing it it's fairly easy
rocky osprey
❤️
verbal forge
so just poetics and old relics
wintry chasm
and loot
jade quartz
money loot
wintry chasm
There are mounts and stuff that can only be obtained from Eureka
faint flare
And demi omza in BA
verbal forge
i see
faint flare
And the other mounts
verbal forge
is it that grindy?
jade quartz
Plus there's a difficult 56-man raid that unlocks at the end which is pretty cool
faint flare
Yes
zinc orbitBOT
verbal forge
okay i'll do that when im tired of raiding
jade quartz
but it's been heavily nerfed
wintry chasm
You ever done Palace of the dead and got those sacks you can get loot from? Eureka has a similar mechanic
faint flare
Well depends how much you like grinding mobs and fates
verbal forge
i haven't done palace of the dead yet
calm phoenix
I got a mount on the first time with Rahamu fight and I heard that mount drops less than the other extreme fights. Is that true?
sturdy mason
in Longstop Hard what does the target thing mean on last boss?
he starts going in circles and targets a player
jade quartz
Ramuh pony has the same droprate as the other primal ponies
obsidian patio
The only ARR EX mount that’s rarer is Nightmare
jade quartz
only Nightmare, which is an extra pony available from all three of Garuda, Titan and Ifrit, is a bit rarer.
faint flare
Except current extremes wnd nightmare
stiff cloak
I've been told Unhidden treasure maps guarantee you 100k gil on top of its potential drops. Is that true?
obsidian patio
The level 50 map? I want to say no but it’s been forever since I’ve done one
stiff cloak
yeah
verbal forge
btw what is the best way to get gil these days without grinding out disciples of hand?
obsidian patio
Zonureskin treasure map dungeon
faint flare
Treasure maps are good, but you'll be buying them and cutting profits
obsidian patio
And spending phanta on crafting materials to sell
faint flare
Also selling tomes
jade quartz
The 'best' way is being good at flipping goods on the marketboard but that's a whole skill in itself and requires a base amount of capital
verbal forge
oh yeh i know that method
jade quartz
Popular casual ways to make good money are treasure maps and eureka.
brave fern
Hey guys, I'm a new player from Aus. Recently bought the complete edition so I still have my free 30 days, but I was trying to find a way to buy time cards in Australia and all of the regular options (G2a, cdkeys etc) are all sold out, anyone know where I can find them?
verbal forge
usual square enix store
you can buy a 60 day game time card there using pounds to make it cheaper
plain python
time cards are cheaper than direct sub? 😮
verbal forge
its only cheaper due to conversion rate
brave fern
Ahh okay, and any other options? cause the SQE store isn't accepting my card, so I'll have to keep that as a sort of last resort for now
brave fern
Hmm last time I tried there wasn't a paypal option in the checkout, do you have to do something before hand to get it to show up?
brave fern
yeah mine only shows these options
verbal forge
wait lemme check

just downloaded the game today, it all seems a bit...different?
from what im used to
oh um ok

I defeated Garuda extreme but no quest for the next extreme at the Adder's Nest! I did it unsynced with my brother-in-law! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
obsidian patio
The next quest is at the waking sands
nova umbra
does it matter which side you stand on for tornadoes as tank in e6s?
calm phoenix
No it is not at the Waking Sands 😦
sand stratus
did you finish the Garuda quest?
calm phoenix
Yes I did. I defeated her
sand stratus
yeah but you have to complete the quest
does your quest log say "Bring the vortex ritual focus to Vorsaile Heuloix at the Adders' Nest in Gridania."
calm phoenix
The quest ended after I was allowed to fight her. There is nothing more to do. No pending quest
And no it does not
earnest imp
Can anyone make or give me a spear fishing gig?
sand stratus
you get a spear fishing gig from the quest that unlocks spear fishing
that's the only spear fishing gig you get
calm phoenix
There is nobody to talk to at the Adder's nest either. Nobody with a quest icon
earnest imp
Well then I guess I’m fucked because I have no idea where that quest is and I’m already past it lol
calm phoenix
Judging by the lack of further responses. I guess that I am the only person who this is happening to
strange coral
You can buy the gig from various generic vendors
earnest imp
I is broke
calm phoenix
Nobody? This problem is non-existent to everybody except me?
silver plinth
ever wondered why these bugs only happen to you?
wind nexus
@calm phoenix which EX’s have you done?
The only EX trials from the waking sands are titan/first/Garuda
ifrit*
calm phoenix
It is weird. I know. I had to travel BACK from Vesper Bay before the quest icon showed at the Adder's Nest showed. This is a third time that things were activated on a HUGE delay
silver plinth
i kinda feel like you might just be bad at video games 😦
wintry chasm
Hey now

Do not insult me

I've just been reading what you've been saying...are you saying that you did the Garuda unlock quest but you can't find the next one?

lol really?
faint flare
Yes
leaden ginkgo
does it start to look cooler as I get more powerful?
faint flare
Tanks have really straightforward rotations
Yes you get more tools to build ontop of what you have
verbal forge
would dark knight be a good starter tank class?
faint flare
Paladin gets a dot, a magic dps phase and a extra button you hit 3 times
leaden ginkgo
I see, and I guess paladin would start at lvl 30
leaden ginkgo
are there any specific raids I should be aware of before 30?
faint flare
No
wintry chasm
dungeon
faint flare
Those dont start until 50
still iris
where to do i use allagen tomestone of phantasmagoria
wintry chasm
There is one optional dungeon that's level 20...something called Halatali if you haven't done it yet
Eulmore Swift
leaden ginkgo
so if I tank in a group, should I watch a video of the dungeon beforehand since I'll prob be the leader?
wintry chasm
some dungeons in ARR are just straight lines anyway
faint flare
Only dungeon new people get lost in is Haukke
leaden ginkgo
I see, and does one even need to pull enemies if you have iron will on using aggress or whatever it's called?

oh and one more question then, what level do we get mounts at?

also in terms of money, I heard fishing is the most lucrative?

usually it;s like potions and clothes crafting no?

Do not insult me
@calm phoenix sorry wasnt meant to be an insult. just noticed you ask like 30 questions a day and the problem is always not reading or not googling 😦

ight thx everyone getting back to it
jade quartz
Fishing is usually the least lucrative
obsidian patio
Some of the fish that can be desynthed for rare glamour items or the pretty ones that can go in aquariums can sell for a lot
But they’re usually weather/time locked and take a lot of effort to catch

For a level 60 player starting up Stormblood, are Anima weapons worth it?
Or should I just keep doing the MSQ and gain better weapons?
proud willow
Not at all

Previous relics are only for glamour reasons
proud willow
the Augmented Shire weapon is approximately the same strength and you can get it in a fraction of the time

Oh, right. Poetics-

I think he is...?
Maybe not ||During HW||
But I remember ||he had only an eye for a while...?||
wintry chasm
Yes and no
ripe hound
Is there are way to bind recommended gear to a button?
wintry chasm
||After flow he did have damage to his eye but basically at the time you meet up it had healed and he "kept the eye...patch, cloth thing, because it'll attract the ladies"||
Is there are way to bind recommended gear to a button?
No?
wintry chasm
uhhhh
remote lintel
a look
wintry chasm
IIRC ||it isn't said that he was blind in that eye temporarily. Just "damaged"||
remote lintel
cause ||his eyes go back to normal when he goes to the first and theyre still normal when he goes back to the source so im like what||
jade quartz
Actually, ||on the First there is still a difference of one shade between the colours of his eyes, which is barely even perceptible, but exists in the data.||
ripe hound
Also yeah, I think trying to bind that specific to a is too crazy
jade quartz
So I guess his ||eyes regenerated their melanin?|| lol
ripe hound
||How did he damage his eye again?||
jade quartz
but not fully?
remote lintel
||when yshtola used flow||
jade quartz
||Either through his time in the Lifestream post-Flow, or during his time surviving in the Dravanian wilderness.||

Is the standard sub even worth it when entry is cheaper and having multiple characters doesn't really matter?
faint flare
No
ripe hound
How much does the Allegory Weapon cost? 600 or 1000?
severe tusk
huh, that seems silly to even have the option
ripe hound
Cool for a second I was a bit surprised by the 1m price
faint flare
You'll be surprised how many altaholics/RP people use it
jade quartz
it's also the same price as entry if you buy six months in bulk
severe tusk
Why bother when you can do everything on the same character D:
jade quartz
and get the bulk discount
faint flare
Rp
remote lintel
some people may want 2 characters on 1 world

I suppose.
faint flare
And playing with others on different data centres

More like for RP and... storage...? Storage isn't that valuable right?
faint flare
And raiding with others without screwing loot locks

So I made a few glamour plates as my samurai and wondered if I switched to Machinist will those plates still be there or would I have to make them all over again(Buy those same items all over again)
faint flare
The plates will still be there
severe tusk
I steamrolled through stormblood and hit 75 smn on the first month after buying. But that's just cause Im on covidcation.
faint flare
They'll be there until you go to the dresser and change the plate
Plus the items will still be stored in the dresser
ripe hound
Cool, but Shadowbringers is worth slowing down

yay thank you hun

leaden ginkgo
Hello, I was wondering if it's worth buying the neo-ishgardian set
ripe hound
If you have money
faint flare
It skips the gear grind and you can upgrade it to i490 with Phantasmagora
polar hound
it of course will not be BiS stuff, but can get you into savage etc.
patent citrus
Is there any point getting more chocobo feather gold if you already have twintania neurolink key?
or maybe have all gold chocobo feathers item
ripe hound
It costs around 1 mil for a whole set. But if you only want the i490 Augmented version and only buy the cheap parts to turn into Certs, it's only about 0.56 mil
patent citrus
these dyes, mount and tickets can't be sold and market prohibited right?
leaden ginkgo
what do you mean turn into Certs?
ripe hound
Yeah, it's not BiS stuff, but you can basically reach 490 the day you complete 5.0 MSQ.
I reached 490 without even unlocking Expert Roulette
polar hound
technically you can sell the dyes. if people trade you items, you can still dye them and trade them back
buuut yea
faint flare
The certs you need for upgrading neo ishgardian
leaden ginkgo
I have already completed the 5.0 MSQ, I'm about to jump into 5.1 story
patent citrus
there are 2 type of dyes I think, the one in mogstation can't be traded
just wanted to know what kind of dyes are these
ripe hound
Basically for each gear piece you can trade for a certain amount of certifications.
And with the same amount, plus a mat you buy with Phant tomestones, you get i490 gear
polar hound
idk what you mean, but even if the dye cannot be traded, you can still use the dye on tradeable items
leaden ginkgo
ooh, I understand now
ripe hound
He means that there are General Purpose Dye, which cannot be traded, and the rare colored dyes
The one without the "General-purpose" in the name can be traded
leaden ginkgo
well, I don't really feel like I need more power
faint flare
Well
ripe hound
But yeah @leaden ginkgo if you have a few mil laying around you can consider buying a few pieces
polar hound
Yeah I know, but you can still dye a tradeable item and 'trade' it that way, technically.
leaden ginkgo
currently sitting at 430 ilvl
faint flare
You need i465 to finish the story
ripe hound
You can also consider buying pieces only when you need some extra ilvl
leaden ginkgo
I see
ripe hound
Nah the first gear lock is... oh it's the second quest of 5.1 MSQ
leaden ginkgo
I can spare 1mil I think
ripe hound
But that dungeon is only 430
faint flare
Other ways to gear is just go do Eden and Nier for those gears
polar hound
it's probably not worth it if it's your first toon to 80 but then again, worth is subjective
ripe hound
The next dungeon is at the end of 5.2, which needs 440
leaden ginkgo
it's my first toon, yes
faint flare
Eden gate is 450 gear and first nier raid is 460 gear
ripe hound
And 5.3 needs 465 to comeplete
random hollow
can I mark something in the map in a way that the minimap/compass always tells me where to go?
ripe hound
But yeah, you can do some Eden's Gate and Nier Raids first
Then you can farm Eden part 2
leaden ginkgo
also, should I go all the way and get the relic weapon for ShB?
ripe hound
Yeah
faint flare
Yes
polar hound
the gearing process is really quite forgiving especially for only one job
faint flare
Its a very good starting weapon
ripe hound
It's a really fun quest line, after that it's just 1000 poetics for a relic weapon
faint flare
And its free
leaden ginkgo
ok, so I think I'll aim for that first then
earnest imp
Where should I go to grind 72-80 for fisher?
leaden ginkgo
thanks a lot for the advice
ripe hound
Yeah you should definitely go for it. Probably even worth going for it before continuing MSQ
kk take care
ripe hound
I'm still on 485 Relics because I CAN'T CLEAR SOSEX
earnest imp
Nah not yet. I just finally got the lvl 70 fisher quest and have to go catch that stupid dinosaur
polar hound
do that, it has its own facet so if you just ignore it, the exp goes..to the trash
brave fern
Would it be worth getting the ARR relic wep? Or is it basically just useful for Glamour at this point? (I'm currently between ARR and Heavenward)
earnest imp
Will do. Thank you
faint flare
Old relics are purely for glamour
polar hound
^
brave fern
👌
faint flare
They're super not worth as a functioning weapon
When poetic gear exists
For like 1/10th of the effoet
ripe hound
It's some nice glamour
polar hound
old relics (arr, etc) are balanced for that end-game of that time. most gear near its level will outshine it by leaps and bounds
brave fern
Ahh coolio, yeah I guess if I have spare time while waiting one of these days i'll try getting them
granite swan
Is the Resistance Weapon gonna be top item level of this xpac or will something outclass it later in 5.x?
ripe hound
But yeah, I kind of want to get the AST's StB Relic for glamour
faint flare
It will be top class in 5.55
ripe hound
The purple orb thing looks kind of cool
faint flare
When it literally doesn't matter anymore
polar hound
the first shiny forms arent too hard to get (Zenith) i suppose but still a little timesink
granite swan
k
faint flare
Relics only are the best at the end, they lag behind until then
pliant canopy
no advice for identifying map locations, right?
polar hound
cries in pld BiS helmet
faint flare
Which is why we can say the upgrade will pretty much guaranteed to be 495
polar hound
@pliant canopy what do you mean?
faint flare
Yes
ripe hound
And it's probably about as good, maybe a bit better, than SoSex weapon right?
polar hound
yeah, at the top of the last patch notes is where they state this stuff
faint flare
Probably be better if it keeps its 5 melds
ripe hound
Because 5 holes
faint flare
Otherwise substat depending
pliant canopy
Idk, I've looked over the whole area a few times and I assume there isn't somewhere I can upload a screenshot. it was a long shot, I'm just feeling lazy @polar hound

If your attributes for squad missions are way over and red is that still fine
Oops nvm
Reread it
Also how does sheltron work
When i use it i still take damage :l
ripe hound
How much is block again?
polar hound
blocking is 20% damage reduc
ripe hound
-15% damage?
jade quartz
blocking isn't damage nullification
ripe hound
oh 20%
faint flare
On average, a block will mitigate around 18% ish
tulip plover
So basically use it whenever you do big pulls and mitigatw
polar hound
it used to be higher, but it was nerfed to a flat 20% per SHB
faint flare
Or so
polar hound
at least as a max
faint flare
Its your short defensive cooldown you can throw when whenever
jade quartz
the flying damage popups actually say how much the block reduced it on them.
faint flare
Sprinkle it in
It will take roughly 30ish sec to generate the 50 gauge for it with the normal auto attacks
ripe hound
What's the cd of sheltron?
polar hound
they basically merged Bulwark into Sheltron in a way.
ripe hound
!action Shelton
polar hound
30s, it's gauge dependant.

you still hit all your single target ogcds.

well yea
bad wording on my end sorry
dont forget that Arms length also provides Slow, effectively making a really nice cooldown also.

Hey guys quick question, I was planning to resub to the game. I bought the game when stormblood came out. Now I'm looking at the entry sub. But I already made 8ish characters. Will I be able to delete all those characters and start fresh?

I did some calculation, a Phant trades to about 180 gil

You can delete characters if you wish
