secondary stats while leveling don't really make or break anything

Nope
Well, yes, but more rigid.
Tank gear is tank gear. Melee gear is melee gear, and so on.

I'm OK with per job separated gear but 2 choices for PLD is a little confusing

substats will only really matter when you're lvl 80 and getting into raiding

I was interested in shooting for the achievement Skyward Science III at some point, but I have a couple of questions.
do I have to be at 80 and submitting Grade 3 Skybuilders' Growth Formulae or Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Tiled Floorings to receive points toward my score?
would submitting crafts on the off season count? or should I just wait until the next season starts?

im debating between blue mage, red mage and machinist as my second class
im still very new
1st class is summoner
faint flare
Well blue is limited and not a actual full job
You cant really run it as a second class
polar hound
^^^^^ side content. You will not play blu in any relevant or meaningful-to-endgame content
polar hound
It is a limited job. It maxes at 60. Its unbalanced and not a regular thing
polar hound
It caps at 60
manic flare
oh
alpine shadow
im not sure what the class requirements are for msq either, if you cant use limited jobs or not, but it is a waste of exp to level up blu mage with msq
then once you hit lvl 60 and then you need to level a secondary class without msq
random hollow

Currently doing the smith novice scenarios for the XP ring below level 30, aside from this and 3% from food, is there any other XP buff for levelling?
faint flare
Free company xp buff that most free companies run
silent zodiac
What is that?
faint flare
Free companies are guilds
tribal wave
heat of battle buff to be specific
faint flare
And they can give 2 buffs for 24hours
Most usually run combat xp
Usually the lv2 for 10% extra, some do lv3 for 15%
silent zodiac
And all I have to do is join a FC for that?
faint flare
Yes
glossy flare
the FC has to have a certain rank and spends a resource to activate these buffs for 24h each
silent zodiac
Thanks guys! Isn't there also something where you get more XP for your lower level jobs if you have a high up one?
glossy flare
Yeah, you get that automatically though by levelling a job below your highest level one
doesn't matter how large the difference is or how high lvl your highest one is
silent zodiac
Does your highest one have to be a certain level before you unlock that? My paladin is 45
Do i have to do something to activate it? I don't see it
silent zodiac
Is it shown as a buff or something?
tribal wave
are you referring to rested exp?
silent zodiac
No, i think its called armory bonus?
silent zodiac
How much extra?
twilit arch
So if you don't have any experience bonuses except for armoury bonus it should say (100%) from 1-69, (50%) for 70-80
glossy flare
those level ranges are for the job that gets the bonus btw
dapper oyster
where can i see all the recipe for grade 3 ishgardian restoration?
glossy flare
not for your highest one
dapper oyster
because i levelled blacksmith and armorer just to find out they have the same recipe
silent zodiac
So just to double check, if I have a level 50 main, and I'm on a level 1 alt, I can get:
30% xp from ring untill level 30
100% xp untill level 50 (catch up to main)
3%xp from food
10-15%xp if i join a FC with the buff
and that's everything?

Feel stupid cause I can't find a guide or explanation on this anywhere, is there a quick guide/command/whatever that explains how collectables work on Fisher?
twilit arch
turn on collector's glove, fish. if the item can be collected as a collectable, it'll give a prompt
silent zodiac
Yeah it is, I saw that 5.3 streamlined it a bit with MSQ, i just play with friends and when they arent on I wanna try to level an alt
Also, unrelated: How do we get flying on mounts?
twilit arch
collectability is based on size of fish
glossy flare
!faq altlvlguide @silent zodiac

so HQ fish (generally bigger) are going to be better collectability

Standard step
frank wigeon
ahh cool thank you for educating me 😄
median locust
Cause Standard step is 30s cooldown but you can cast it 15 seconds before casting it, so they prepare it 15 seconds in advance to get a head start
faint flare
The start standard stepping on countdown and hit the finish as you pull
The cooldown runs in the background
So they can get a standard step under Techincal

@stark sleet not as much
sturdy mason
@remote lintel so I was in World of Darkness, I aggroed a boss and kept aggro for a while, but eventually it started bouncing between me and another tank, so I did a provoke every time that happened to try to stabilize the boss
remote lintel
you can use tbn on other people
sturdy mason
people complained about aggro wars, I'm not sure what the issue is
And i got accused of trying to "look cool"
remote lintel
probably because you kept spinning the boss
simple pine
better to just drop tank stance and let the other tank aggro it
sturdy mason
he was right next to me
remote lintel
at that point just turn off tank stance
faint flare
If the other tanks steal it it means they're better geared and doing more damage than you
Just let them have it
sturdy mason
ok so best to just not provoke unless mechanics demand it?
simple pine
aggro wars is when 2 tanks want to be the big hero and keep taking turns provoking, be the bigger person and just let them have it
faint flare
As it means the healers need to keep changing targets
remote lintel
yes void
stark sleet
Only provoke if mechanics demand it, or if a dps or healer has aggro, usually
faint flare
Nothing in 24mans need provoke, unless the tank dies and you're somehow not high on aggro
sturdy mason
ok that helps
simple pine
also if your gear is not up to par and both of you have tank stance, you will naturaly lose aggro since the other tank does more damage, they might not even have spammed provoke
sturdy mason
I really wanted to get some tanking practice in but I can never hold aggro without provoke
is it a job weakness thing or only gear?
sturdy mason
PLD doesn't hit hard I think
faint flare
It does
faint flare
Just under geared and people doing more damage and better rotations
stark sleet
Not counting provoke, is tank aggro all about damage? Or does number of hits matter too? My friend says the latter, but I've always heard the former
stark sleet
Alright, ty
faint flare
As tank stance multiploes the aggro from your damage by a insane amount
sturdy mason
I pretty much just do Fast Blade > Riot Blade > Goring Blade, and weave in any combination of Spirits Within, Circle of Scorn, and Fight or Flight
is that a good rotation?
faint flare
So more damage = more aggro
simple pine
yes thats all you can do at level 50
gloomy mortar
Is there a schedule for Gates at the gold saucer?
faint flare
Hit Fight or flight after Fast and get CoS and Spirits under it everytime, and 3 rage of halones under FoF

How long does it take to do a map and why does it require a team to do it?

Usually a few minutes. You get a party because the 8man maps havr a chance to spawn a portal to a special dungeon

Special how?

Because its not a normal dungeon with 3 bosses and trash

halcyon glen
Rude, bot doesn’t show range
faint flare
Its a pretty big range
slate arrow
It's like 20-25 yards
sour ruin
Yalms is a weird word
slate arrow
Assuming you're standing in the middle of most circular arenas, basically the entire zone
halcyon glen
If you’re on the boss’s butt where you should be, unless your casters are out in actual narnia you should hit them fine
hollow mango
Thankss~
granite swan
pfft obviously the caster is gonna be opposite side of arena from healer and everyone else ... we lone rangers :p
slate arrow
Did someone say targeted aoe mechanic which requires you to stand with the party
halcyon glen
Related: please don’t stand in narnia thanks it makes you harder to heal
granite swan
They got feet, they can run :p
Im kidding though, i just finished my healer and i can relate to being that random RDM that stands max distance from boss lol
hollow mango
If im doing positional attacks i should be at the position before casting the skill? Or I can just move whilst using skill?
granite swan
I think its when you start using the skill?
halcyon glen
or we can rescue you out of your cast back into healing range. Usually also “””accidentally””” into an AoE too
hollow mango
Before activating gcd?
hollow mango
alright
halcyon glen
You need to be standing in the spot when you hit the button
granite swan
I dont think ive ever actually seen a WHM use Rescue sadly lol
hollow mango
also sometimes boss attacks doesn't show what skill their using? Sooo how do I tell?
halcyon glen
Partially just knowing
hollow mango
hmmmm
halcyon glen
Partially watching the animation
agile laurel
yeah like that boss in sohm al hard which is ENTIRELY body tells and no telegraphs
halcyon glen
If the boss raises their weapon over their head like there about to smack whatever’s in front of them
Or they turn and charge a laser
Odds are the next attack is either a line or a cone where they’re facing
hollow mango
i find it hard to see since im so close and there are effects everywhere
agile laurel
challenging content fights usually expect you to know safezones by the name of the ability or the telegraph
halcyon glen
LotA is just a mess
agile laurel
and some attacks they throw at you so frequently they expect you to know them on sight, like minotaurs
agile laurel
if long cast, assume preposition requirement
if something to hide behind, assume it will be hid behind
hollow mango
How bout the sound??
agile laurel
i... guess?
halcyon glen
Very rarely but sometimes works
agile laurel
sound's an awkward tell, i guess sometimes
hollow mango
or like screen shaking stmmthing like that?
agile laurel
unlikely
hollow mango
hmm i see
agile laurel
you're likely referring to behemoth ecliptic meteor
north lotus
any way to make your character always stand combat ready pose?
agile laurel
character settings, and just set idle animation delay to as low as it can go
if you mean what i think you do
halcyon glen
Meteors specifically are the attacks that like to shake the screen
halcyon glen
Unfortunately by the time it shakes odds are the snapshot has already happened
hollow mango
they wont show it but visually screen statt shaking smthng like that
north lotus
how Leuvis?
hollow mango
how Leuvis?
@north lotus i think in character settings?
halcyon glen
You need to look at the boss and, more importantly, the cast bar
north lotus
will look tyvm
hollow mango
np
halcyon glen
To see what they’re doing
hollow mango
You need to look at the boss and, more importantly, the cast bar
@halcyon glen i see
im trying that
hmmm
halcyon glen
Some bosses even have arena based tells
hollow mango
arena based tells?
halcyon glen
Like a certain stormblood trial where the walls of the arena display colours that shows you the order the boss is going to attack
halcyon glen
Or the most recent alliance raid, where the wall tells you how many people you need standing in each circle
hollow mango
im a dragoon
halcyon glen
Usually yes
hollow mango
hmmm i see
halcyon glen
Keep in mind that dragoon’s aoe rotation is a line in front of them and not any actually useful hitbox
agile laurel
it's ok
the best illustrated aoe drg has is coerthan torment cause it literally has a square box on the floor to show it, cause designing spell effects is hard i suppose
hollow mango
I see im still on free trial so yep
ahmm any Ui tips?
besides arranging it
i noticed while on alliance partty every name is on the screen
granite swan
You can set names to be hidden or just initials
Although, i found Initials annoying cuz then you get multiple ppl with same initials lol
halcyon glen
24-mans are overwhelming
granite swan
You can set it up for group and non group
hollow mango
im always looking for my tank and when the boss is too small i cant actually tell where im at
so i guess ill just turn off the names of alliance 1 and 2?
granite swan
you could turn it off for alliance members, yeah
faint flare
You dont need to see the other alliances people so yes
halcyon glen
Frankly 90% of the time in alliance raids I don’t care where my tank is.
Just that they’re not dead
And not cleaving the party
hollow mango
i need to know since im melee i guess?
faint flare
Just pay attention to the target ring
halcyon glen
Yep
royal lichen
Dancer vs Bard, which has more utility? Cuz I have a healer[SCH], tank[DRK], and then I have a Machinist. But I want a "supportive dps" once I find a group to raid with..
hollow mango
but i dont get too see the ring at times if the boss is rather small or very small
calm phoenix
I want to start the "A lesson in Humility" quest but the NPC for it is non-existent! There is nothing above or below this area and it is almost right on top of an Aetherite but there is no NPCs around with a quest symbol! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
faint flare
Dancer
halcyon glen
That’s the ||orchestral remix of Locus|| afaik @tidal yarrow
faint flare
Permanent 5% damage up, a heal which is good when stacked, room wide mitigation
Party damage buff
Crit buff
tidal yarrow
thanks
halcyon glen
The room wide mitigation is shared and doesn’t stack with Machinist’s identical button
slate arrow
While Bard does have a buff, it's significantly less and are less impactful
hollow mango
is the Role Skill arms length useful?
sand stratus
Go to the stairs in the back @calm phoenix
agile laurel
@calm phoenix Have you tried consulting youtube? Anyx Trine has stairs
silent zodiac
What is less played by the community, healer or tank? For queues and such
faint flare
Yee
sand stratus
The quest is above you
halcyon glen
Arm’s Length is useful for DPS to ignore knockback mechanics
slate arrow
@silent zodiac most of the time, healers when leveling, tanks at endgame
slate arrow
it's basically all knockback
hollow mango
owww i see
calm phoenix
I do not see any stairs. I tried inside and out, no stairs
halcyon glen
It’s even more useful for tanks, since in dungeons it’s practically another defensive cooldown in mob pulls
agile laurel
well there are stairs
hollow mango
true north applies to all positionals?
agile laurel
go look again
slate arrow
Yes
halcyon glen
Yes
agile laurel
Yes, leuvis
hollow mango
I see
royal lichen
Dancer? Really?
hollow mango
royal lichen
I want something... aoe supportive
halcyon glen
Dancer is utility: the job
slate arrow
Dancer has the most DPS buffs
calm phoenix
There is nothing there but a dead end where the structure meets a cliff\
slate arrow
Bard has raidwide buffs but they're not as strong as dancers
silent zodiac
Isn't ninja very group supportive as well?
slate arrow
The only significant ones are a single target esuna and a single target heal buff
"yes" but only for trick attack
faint flare
Ninja just has trick
calm phoenix
I looked again. Absolutely nothing
granite swan
The lighting in that place is awful, makes finding them kinda rough
halcyon glen
Dancer’s permanent buffs arent also frankly wasted on the tanks and healers
They’re targeted on whoever is actually doing the damage
slate arrow
@silent zodiac it's other group support which was smokescreen was gutted with 5.0 with the tank stance changes
Now it's just a big beefy DPS which does a decent bit of damage
silent zodiac
that is unfortunate
calm phoenix
No stairs there. Only dead end 😦
calm phoenix
That is where I am
slate arrow
did you go inside
calm phoenix
It is the lighting. Just looked like a dead end
little swift
But that doesn't mean there are no stairs
barren valve
Are there job specific channels? I selected my role but didn't see any additional options open up
wintry chasm
Nah
slate arrow
only roles
wintry chasm
That's more of a Balance thing Terror
little swift
Please stop blaming the game for your speak first look later mentality
calm phoenix
While I am at it. How do I get the "A dragon's best friend" title? I want that and I saw someone else with it
halcyon glen
Custom deliveries
wintry chasm
^
slate arrow
5 weeks of custom deliveries
wintry chasm
Specific NPC
agile laurel
firmament
halcyon glen
Requires a level 80 crafter
calm phoenix
I assume a dragon NPC?
little swift
Yes
halcyon glen
And having beaten HW.
obsidian patio
Ehll Tou at the firmament.
granite swan
You also get him as a mount
faint flare
And spawns after some side quests in there
little swift
Her@granite swan
granite swan
oh is it a her?
little swift
Ye
agile laurel
it isn't really said til it refers to her with a pronoun in deliveries text
granite swan
Ah, ya i havent touched the quest since i found out it needed an 80 crafter
slate arrow
with ishgard leveling is eaaaasy
granite swan
ya but im lazy and usually doin whackamob stuff lol
calm phoenix
What crafter needs to be level 80? Also could I pay someone to craft required items for me?
faint flare
Any
faint flare
And no, you buy their mats via a merchant in the area
wintry chasm
Can't trade the turn in items
faint flare
And make it yourself
slate arrow
The only quests which you don't have to make yourself are the levequests turn ins
agile laurel
yuuuup
calm phoenix
So I would need to utilize the power leveling crafters trick when it becomes available to me?
agile laurel
the ehll tou deliveries quest even pokes fun at 'why learn how to craft when you can just google a macro'
zinc orbitBOT
barren valve
I am new to the game playing as a ninja, working my way through end of Heavensward. Is this how I should be doing my rotation? Currently for single target boss it looks something like this. Suiton into Trick Attack try to time dream within a dream and assasinate to be off CD so I can use those instantly. Followed by Kassatu and Raiton, then doing normal auto attack rotation of spinning edge, gust slash, aeolian edge
agile laurel
stop you there
crisp mural
If they make blue mages cap to 70 would they be able to do ultimates
barren valve
Why is that?
agile laurel
they just... don't
little swift
Jobs need to set up buffs and stuff
simple pine
it's so you can weave potions and other buffs
robust notch
It's to line up the raid buffs with the rest of your party
agile laurel
suiton > kass > spinning > gust > aeolian > spinning > TA
robust notch
It's just a formality if anything
little swift
@crisp mural we have no idea but it could be possible
granite swan
"working way through HW" "everyone comments about end game raiding" O.O
simple pine
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/718452012928467005/725406474880286851/NINreadibleRotation.png
robust notch
For solo content while leveling up and doing quests, you're fine to use TA first
wintry chasm
"working way through HW" "everyone comments about end game raiding" O.O
It's nice for muscle memory
barren valve
ok thank you
robust notch
But if you want to build up muscle memory for later content, practice delaying it
little swift
To be fair there isn't a lot more to add to the opener from 60 to 80 for nin
robust notch
The Balance Discord could help you out with info regarding your future rotation
granite swan
the real question is ... when BLU gets to 70, will it be able to do Eureka? 
little swift
Probably not tbh
stone niche
Did they nerf mistletoe mob drops in diadem?
granite swan
Ya i know, but i can hope lol
little swift
Nah the amount you get is rng
stone niche
No no no, I mean did they completely take it out of mob drops
Im looking at 5.31 mob drops and I dont see a single mistletoe
raven sage
It's based on your level
slate arrow
Are you looking at a community made sheet?
stone niche
Idk, I havethe google excel one with the images of the mobs
queen flame
How do you guys save your gearset? Do you go into the character menu or use a macro?
I'm trying to make it easier by using a macro, but I'm having troubles making a macro that will save my current outfit to the current job.
Anyone have any ideas?
queen flame
I mean save your gear to that gear set
stone niche
Wait so if I hit lvl 80 on botanist Im forever locked out of getting certain drops from mobs?
queen flame
Like I get new pants, now I want to save those pants to the job.
faint flare
I just hit the update button
Im spoiled on controller cause its just triangle
🤷♂️
queen flame
I wonder if there is an "update" macro
left moth
MrLuckyHonkerGuy: drops from moops in the world are always rng. job quest only things are usually locked to having the quest active (SB on out)
faint flare
Talking diadem
little swift
They're talking diadem
stone niche
Yeah, mob drops are set in diadem
little swift
It shouldn't be locking you out of drops if youre max level
left moth
then yeah would be locked out of "older" mats from mobs that are yeeted with auger (pre-80 things,)
spare plinth
stone niche
I usually farm the cloudtraps for my mistletoes but today I noticed I havent been getting any. I tried Ageless woodgolems and the little saplings. None of them gave me the mistletoes
faint flare
Because the contact with the original cast expires
And it was bad so they didn't renewed
stone niche
Then I pulled up my sheet and noticed there is no mobdrop for mistletoes on the 5.31 list
little swift
So try to kill the same mobs as before
If you were getting mistletoe from cloud traps
Changing to other things won't give you the same drops
left moth
if it's a btn thing (normally gathered) then would want to shank a plant/bulb type mob, not necessarily any specific mob anymore
stone niche
I have. Ive been farming the cloud traps and unloaded a full round of aether onto them today. Not a single mistletoe
People in my instance recommended me trying those other mobs stating theyd gotten mistletoes before: I still didnt get any from what they recommended
left moth
might have to do regular gathering then since none of my 80 mats are that type
gusty storm
does palace of the dead work as a good levelling place for level 50 through 60
left moth
that or use auger as min assuming it's not lv 80 also
potd works ok for dps 50-60 although hard caps xp wise at 60
gusty storm
are you saying it works better for healers and tanks?
faint flare
Dps
carmine cove
Hi Guys, wanted to ask. If i accidentally bought shadowbringers for wrong version of the game its a rip, right?
stone niche
I was my lvl 77 miner when I did it
remote lintel
you mean wrong region?
left moth
healer or tank it might still be better to do dungeons (queue wise). and daily roulette to break up the grind (potd is soul destroying boring after a certain point)
remote lintel
you can contact support and ask for a refund
carmine cove
ye
remote lintel
3rd party sellers dont sell steam keys
slate arrow
no, they really don't
remote lintel
ive never found one that does
carmine cove
so trade is my option, got it
slate arrow
You literally can't since the key is automatically tied to the steam account in question
carmine cove
well will just give it away for someone if it will fail
manic tinsel
if i change job do i still need to do the job quests?
slate arrow
Yes
manic tinsel
i see i see thanks
gusty storm
to get from 51 to 60, would doing healer queues or dps potd go faster
remote lintel
healer
gusty storm
by a lot or a little
remote lintel
a good amount
gusty storm
ok ty cerberus
modest gust
In Blue mage there os ability to kill players ehat it's called?
simple pine
self destruct
noble sage
is there a way to make it so my role isnt auto defaulted to sprout in game?
simple pine
no
noble sage
robust notch
Yes
simple pine
you need to play 168hours+ and finish all of SB to lose sprout status
magic light
you can disable it manually but
robust notch
Have a playtime of over 7 days and finish Heavensward 
noble sage
I hate having it on
magic light
now
remote lintel
/nastatus off
raven sage
Since shb
robust notch
I thought SB meant Shadowbringers
modest gust
I meant to kill other players not myself
robust notch
T-T
remote lintel
you cant kill players
faint flare
You cant kill othera
raven sage
Blu doesn't kill others
modest gust
OH
gusty storm
be healer
manic tinsel
how to level a different job class faster?

Do dungeons
