its currently just how far in your server is, when the donations for that stage is reached you do a quick fate for some exp, gil and scrips@ripe hound
ripe hound
kk, got it, thanks jundur!

you can check how far all the other servers are with the 2nd tab on that link

Also can I get anything HQ in Diadem?

What does the chest icon on the eureka magia board mean?
jade quartz
@sharp spire hotbar settings are saved on each different job, you don’t have to do anything
@strange coral increased loot chance thanks to enemy kill chain
little swift
What does the chest icon on the eureka magia board mean?
@strange coral means you have a higher chance of getting a reward of a crystal
chain maxes out at 30
strange coral
Ah, thanks
ripe hound
The best way to learn a fight is to keep doing it right?
Like keep doing it until you accidentally clear it
little swift
you also should be able to figure out why you failed the fight
if you missed a mechanic or just died to dumb

Whenever you open a silver chest, you get +1-3 on arms or armour
leaden ginkgo
So... when mats from the diadem have been approved, what do I do with them then?
Am I free to then craft them into things or sell them on the MB?
faint flare
Craft
leaden ginkgo
Oki doki, ty
How come some of these didn't get approved? what do I do with those
leaden ginkgo
Ahh
jade quartz
Just auto submit again
faint flare
It does 5 different items at a time
leaden ginkgo
Oki, ty, 4am brain, sorry
I am the large dumb
Will there be any more rankings or none until featherfall is 100% done?
ashen pendant
Hey so, I don't want to do a dead arena grind just to get my character leveled up
What's a good method for me to level up to 55, as a dps
leaden ginkgo
Also what do you get for rankings? scrips? a title if high enough? That sort of stuff?
ashen pendant
just stick to fates?
leaden ginkgo
Spam highest level dungeon
jade quartz
Don’t understand what dead arena grind means
leaden ginkgo
Fates are comparatively bad exp to spamming the max level dungeon you can do
Me neither
jade quartz
Do daily roulettes and then repeat highest level dungeon
leaden ginkgo
^
obsidian patio
@leaden ginkgo next season won’t be until the next phase of restoration comes out
So 5.41 most likely
jade quartz
!faq altlvlguide
zinc orbitBOT
ashen pendant
i feel like daily roulettes are only good for healers and tanks
leaden ginkgo
it seems dumb af that the rankings for featherfall lasted 8 days
jade quartz
Says Stormblood but still relevant
leaden ginkgo
eight days
ashen pendant
ooo
leaden ginkgo
You should do your roulettes every day
jade quartz
Daily roulettes are good for everyone
faint flare
Roulettes give you large xp per day
leaden ginkgo
Adventurer in need =/= roulette rewards
jade quartz
They’re enormous chunks of exp
leaden ginkgo
Yeah I do all roulettes everyday on whatever character I want levelled
And then farm highest dungeon I can do after
Plus they're good poetics etc
jade quartz
In particular you should do leveling, alliance raids and main scenario for exp
And frontline if it’s popping
Trials is also good for the comparatively short time it takes
leaden ginkgo
Cape westwind baby
is frontline not a daily thing then?
it's just, 'we need more bitches'
jade quartz
I’m not sure what you mean
leaden ginkgo
Feel like it's always up for me, I just don't do it 'cause screw PvP
leaden ginkgo
Ah
jade quartz
But some times of day the queue just won’t pop
leaden ginkgo
And frontline if it’s popping
@jade quartz Reading this I was like 'is it not always up, is it only when they need more people for matches?'
Ahhh
Gotcha
ashen pendant
guildhests are irrelevent right?
leaden ginkgo
I do 'em for the sake of doing them
ashen pendant
i feel like duty roulette is only good for healers and tanks
leaden ginkgo
Na you should literally clear them except guildhest and maybe MSQ every day
jade quartz
Absolutely do your roulettes every day as a dps
ashen pendant
even if the role isn't listed?
obsidian patio
For best experience do Leveling, Alliance Raid, and Main Scenario if you have the time for that one
jade quartz
That’s irrelevant
leaden ginkgo
See what I said above
obsidian patio
Role in need’s bonus is negligible
leaden ginkgo
Adventurer in need =/= roulette rewards
jade quartz
Adventurer in need bonus is not significant exp
leaden ginkgo
Adventurer in need is a bonus on top
ashen pendant
i c
leaden ginkgo
It's mostly tasty cash
leaden ginkgo
Shit man i'd do MSQ roulette on botanist if it'd let me
ashen pendant
the number indicator on the side is how many times i can still get those rewards right?
jade quartz
Which number indicator?
You get roulette rewards once a day for each roulette
No exceptions
leaden ginkgo
No, that's how many parties are currently searching
jade quartz
Oh right that
leaden ginkgo
So how likely you are to get a group fast
Best time to do it is just after daily reset
jade quartz
Yeah I think most people filter that part of the UI out of their brains
leaden ginkgo
I know what it means but it's completely irrelevant to my decision making
So yeah, filtered af

what setting effects graphic lighting on skills? Like my eyes trying to adjust to the light. More noticeable with skills like circle of scorn. Little annoying in fights to have it keep dimming. Might be more noticeable now though im using gshade though

primal relic
Are poetic stone use for anything after the IW set?
obsidian patio
They’re used for the level 60 and 70 sets too
primal relic
Oh where do you find the 60 and 70 set?
obsidian patio
Idyllshire/Ishgard and Rhalgr’s Reach/Kugane
primal relic
I’m only at the very beginning of HW
obsidian patio
Can’t access them then
primal relic
Ishgard is the foundation right?
obsidian patio
Yes, but that vendor won’t sell to you until you complete the HW leveling story
fluid frigate
is there a way to buy crystarium gear from others with gil like i see people advertising about other gear on pf
warped nest
@fluid frigate no
faint flare
No
fluid frigate
darn okay
faint flare
When selling tomes, people trade the mats
wooden ginkgo
what dps class has like big glowing armor like paladin cause i rlly wanna play as a dps but i really like that look
warped nest
Crystarium is traded with Allagan Tomestone of Allegory
@wooden ginkgo can I refer you to the #glamour-discussion channel?
wooden ginkgo
oh yeah
warped nest
That's a very long topic on itself

elder sinew
Is it a waste to enhance a MCH Eureka with the Pyros stuff then upgrade to Physeos? Or does the stat transfer over when you upgrade to Physeos wep?
cedar compass
I just finished stormblood
faint flare
You can put the stars on later
jade quartz
The stat stuff is carried forward
cedar compass
which weapon should i buy with poetics?
faint flare
Scaevan
elder sinew
Good to know, thx
jade quartz
And you can also go back and do more pyros stat rolling once you have physeos
cedar compass
ilvl 400?
faint flare
Yes
jade quartz
However I’d say it kind of is a waste as old relic stats don’t matter
ripe hound
Is it possible to raise yourself with Healer LB3?
jade quartz
Unless you really wanna do unnecessary levels of Baldesion Arsenal minmaxing
No
You can’t lb when you’re dead
faint flare
If you time it VERY VERY specifically
You can get server ticked
Its basically a frame perfect tick
obsidian patio
But basically never
ripe hound
Like I was doing SoSex, and I think my co-healer raised 8 person with LB3
Mostly luck
We were so surprised that half of the party immediately died after being raised
faint flare
Basically have to have the cast finish and you die before the game has registered you received the effects of the Lb
ripe hound
And my co-healer just decided to use the mana gained from LB3 and raise us one by one
obsidian patio
Only when it’s a physeos
faint flare
Not until its upgraded in BA
elder sinew
Ah
jade quartz
Only when it’s a eureka
faint flare
If it doesn't have eureka effect on it, then it doesn't matter
jade quartz
Not physeos
ripe hound
It was fun
cedar compass
why do i have 7 legionary visors?
faint flare
Because its basically a trash drop from garlaens
jade quartz
They drop randomly from Garlean soldier enemies
faint flare
Mainly low level
cedar compass
ah kk
jade quartz
Trash em
cedar compass
so safe to drop right?
jade quartz
Oh yeah.
cedar compass
im always affraid of discarding some unobtainable item
jade quartz
Only cash shop items can’t be re-obtained
jade quartz
Except maybe some very obscure things which no one knows or cares about
cedar compass
like even the job sets?
obsidian patio
Can get those back too
The level 60 set being more annoying if you didn’t level up your GC rank
leaden ginkgo
So say out of curiosity, I ate a mog station item for breakfast instead of putting it in my glamour chest
Did I just waste money?
remote lintel
yes
leaden ginkgo
Lmao that sucks, good thing I'm super paranoid and mega careful with items
Above convo got me wonderin'
faint flare
Every account gets a One time item restore so you could always get 1 important item back that way
leaden ginkgo
I bought the far eastern socialites set purely for the boots but the full set is in my glamour chest anyway
Is that ANY item or just cash store
faint flare
Any
leaden ginkgo
Oh dank
faint flare
One time only
leaden ginkgo
Gonna use it for the intuition fish I sold from ocean fishing
I meme
I do want it back tho ):
Is ishgard restoration a good way to level crafters?
faint flare
Yes
jade quartz
Very good
leaden ginkgo
Do I need to make special items for it? Like skybuilders plank of wood
jade quartz
Yep
faint flare
Titles
leaden ginkgo
A title if high enough basically?
jade quartz
Titles and minions/mount for getting all classes scores high enough
leaden ginkgo
So i can't get a title as rankings have ended but if I don't care about the titles is effectually inconsequential?
faint flare
Saint of the firmament for top 12, Beata/Beatus of the Firmament for under to like rank 100 iirc
faint flare
It was 10 i believe
jade quartz
You can still get the non-ranking titles just for accumulating points
leaden ginkgo
Ah yes it was
8th-18th
Sad I missed the new nest fisher title but it's whatevs
Any reason the ranking period is so short?
I mean we still building
faint flare
Just the way they have it 🤷♂️
leaden ginkgo
Fair I guess
jade quartz
Longer would mean a lot of effort and burnout
leaden ginkgo
Valid point
Hi, I was finally able to make my account for the free trial. But I have no idea where to get a one time password? Do I have to buy those security token things? ._.

Trying to keep up with the rest for 10 days is already tough enough

I have a tendency to spam Aspected Helios / Medica II when paniking
leaden ginkgo
Free TP is super nice tho
ripe hound
Is this a bad habit?
leaden ginkgo
Yes
raven sage
Yes
remote lintel
yes
jade quartz
Yeah
raven sage
Let the regen work
faint flare
Burning mana, wasting the regen
remote lintel
ogcds are enough
leaden ginkgo
Spam helios if you must any helios
remote lintel
use celestial opp/collective uncon
leaden ginkgo
^
remote lintel
both at the same time if its a butt clenching situation
leaden ginkgo
Aspected helios is a worse potency with regeneration or shield helios
ripe hound
Right
leaden ginkgo
So it's really not worth spamming a worse spell just to refresh a dot every 1s
jade quartz
But really there should hardly ever be content where you need to hit Helios at all
leaden ginkgo
You're better off using your ogcds and emergencies
jade quartz
Let alone spam
leaden ginkgo
And training yourself not to spam
remote lintel
you only spam helios if you literally have exhausted all other skills and you need lots of healing
leaden ginkgo
^
jade quartz
There are no emergency oGCDs!
Helios is the emergency button
Last resort
OGCDs are the bread and butter
ripe hound
I see
limpid lynx
usually a single aspected helios is enough anyway, but if you desperately need an instant AoE heal then aspected helios -> lightspeed -> helios is your best bet
leaden ginkgo
I used to think like this 'oh I'll save this ability for the optimal time'
leaden ginkgo
Fuck that just use it
Use your ogcds
Don't be put off by a minute cool down or whatever
Use your abilities
limpid lynx
^
whenever I decide to "save" an oGCD 19 times outta 20 the time I end up deciding to use it is well past the spell's actual cd
leaden ginkgo
Raid wide damage? Slap some hots on and cast collective consciousness
limpid lynx
and I just feel dumb
limpid lynx
like, unless it's hallowed ground or something just use ur stuff
remote lintel
celestial opp/collective uncon/earthly star/horoscope are your aoe heals
ripe hound
Do I ever save Neutral Sect?
jade quartz
No “unless”
leaden ginkgo
Collective unsconiousness just makes me feel like a baller
limpid lynx
oh nvm
ripe hound
kk
limpid lynx
I treated hallowed ground as the sole exception w its 7 minute cd
jade quartz
In endgame raids you begin planning out when you’ll use what
limpid lynx
but yeah, if it saves you you use it
leaden ginkgo
Diurnal sect unless with WHM or another AST with diurnal on
limpid lynx
or if it helps I suppose
ripe hound
Right
nova umbra
how many people do we need for Omega12s unsynced?
limpid lynx
noted
jade quartz
Just as bad as what we’re talking about here
leaden ginkgo
Randomly pop superbolide to wake up the healer
limpid lynx
yeah, I have two healers leveled and am just starting w tanking with my pally
jade quartz
Also the cooldown is five minutes
leaden ginkgo
Do a pre flight check list on tank every dungeon
Do I have my emnity thing on
Do I have food buff on
If both yes lesgo
jade quartz
Hallowed is such a powerful cooldown, you wanna use it as much as you can
remote lintel
dont really need food
jade quartz
I usually use it on my first pull
leaden ginkgo
Get into a serious habit of checking your enmity generator thing is on every start
Food is 3% experience and you're levelling
Why don't you have 9999 eggs
remote lintel
if youre leveling then yes
jade quartz
Also helps in case healers were slow and didn’t expect large pulls for some reason 
leaden ginkgo
They are levelling
limpid lynx
hehe, whenever I'm playing healer I always get a little sad when the tank does smol pulls
ripe hound
When do you Superboil in a 4 man dungeon?
limpid lynx
now that I'm the tank myself I'm on a constant mission to see exactly how much can be pulled without murdering everyone
jade quartz
On trash
leaden ginkgo
To wake up the healer
limpid lynx
when you're about to die I'd assume?
ripe hound
On first pull?
jade quartz
Like any other CD
ripe hound
Don't save it?
limpid lynx
yeah
jade quartz
Yeah first pull is fine
limpid lynx
if your health gets low, superbol
leaden ginkgo
Just pull till you're about to die and then pop it when you're about to die
ripe hound
kk
limpid lynx
and hope you press it before the healers blow their load
leaden ginkgo
It's 7seconds your dps get to wreck shit for free
limpid lynx
nothing like chaining an excog-lustrate into your tank only to have them drop back down to 1 again
jade quartz
Letting health drop low first is slightly more optimal because you’re losing less health
ripe hound
kk
ripe hound
Do you usually pop mitagations before Superboil?
little swift
no reason to
leaden ginkgo
I've lagged just as I hit superbolide before and died lmao
little swift
you're mitigating damage you won't take
ripe hound
Or just go in with no CDs used, so superboil on first pull?
leaden ginkgo
Feels so bad man
jade quartz
Of popping superbol a fraction of a second after healer hits benediction
You don’t want that lol
leaden ginkgo
Haha
ripe hound
kk
surreal geyser
Apparently I am capped on Phantasm stones. Is there anything worth buying for those these days?
limpid lynx
yeaah
jade quartz
Yeah, crafting materials
remote lintel
is living dead counted among the invulns you should cycle
limpid lynx
I'm a primary sch main but excog-lustrate is like a discount benediction and it still hurts to see it
leaden ginkgo
Don't be that tank who clears the dungeon without popping rampart once
I will strange you
limpid lynx
yes, I'd assume
ripe hound
You don't have to use Helios after Horoscope right?
remote lintel
if you dont its a lower pot heal
ripe hound
Or does the 200 potency matter a lot?
jade quartz
Yes although in dungeons often healers are not paying attention and won’t even let your health hit 0 for LD effect to go off 
jade quartz
But still use it and hope their eyes are working
remote lintel
i will pray then
remote lintel
@ripe hound depends on the situation
leaden ginkgo
/follow and let the little fairy do it all
remote lintel
i always use horo with helios
ripe hound
I currently mostly use Horoscope right before I want to use helios
To just use the horo later, like 30 sec later
ripe hound
kk
leaden ginkgo
Sell me
remote lintel
fire goes pew pew
limpid lynx
I currently have a scholar and an ast. prefer scholar out of the two thus far, though I hope that whenever 6.0 comes out they give ast some of its unique card effects back
I joined 5.0 but 4.0 ast looked fun
limpid lynx
my next plan is to level a pally because tanking seems really cool and I want the support tank, and then DRK because it apparently has the best job quests + another tank
after that...idk, maybe whm, or I finally just give in and start picking dpses to level, lol
and this is no longer qusetions nor help
apologies
remote lintel
play black mage and feel your brain expand 20% when you teleport out of an attack
leaden ginkgo
Lmao
Ill probs level summ as a scholar
so realistically only 3 dps left to level
damn only 5 classes left to level
limpid lynx
black mages get a teleport?
I was under the impression that black mages didn't really do much in the way of moving
leaden ginkgo
Scholar and summoner share levels right?
limpid lynx
yeah
leaden ginkgo
Tell me more
remote lintel
2 of them are teleports
leaden ginkgo
Coool
limpid lynx
dang, I stand corrected
leaden ginkgo
So it's magic ninja with fire?

BLM has a skill that snaps them to a party member and another that zips them back to the center of their ley lines
limpid lynx
I mean, all I really know about BLM are "adjust" memes
remote lintel
they got also swiftcast and triplecast
leaden ginkgo
You can't make me leave my leyline
limpid lynx
makes sense that BLM actually can move about a bunch if you play smart
leaden ginkgo
You don't pay my sub
remote lintel
they have a decent amount of instant cast moves
leaden ginkgo
What's triple cast?
elder sinew
Does the eureka wep enhancements +stat increase truly randomly when you enhance it or it gets better the more crystals you put into it?
leaden ginkgo
Figured
limpid lynx
oh yeah absolutely
it's my favorite aspect of AST as of currently
well, that and star
star is fun
but I just love going god mode for like 15 seconds
leaden ginkgo
Yeah legit I feel like nothing can kill my party when it's up
Also AST just has the coolest visuals
I've never enjoyed a healer as much in any mmo ever
limpid lynx
oh for sure
gusty storm
@faint flare
limpid lynx
I think SCH still wins out a little bit for me
gusty storm
my armor is double my weapon now
limpid lynx
I friggin love scholar's buttons and the whole shielding concept (AST gets some of that too but their regens are usually better)

I haven't played SCH at all, just making my way through all the classes before road to 70 runs out
silent zodiac
I just finished the MSQ for ARR, i just unlocked flying, got the mecha mount, etc
Can I play machinist now, or is there more to do?

I was told WHM has practically no weaving
remote lintel
you need to get to ishgard
leaden ginkgo
Coming to ishgard
remote lintel
aka heavensward
silent zodiac
so just keep pumping MSQ?
leaden ginkgo
Yes
remote lintel
yes
silent zodiac
ty ty
leaden ginkgo
If a class doesn't have weaving I'm very nonplussed
Amazing ability name
I'm not mature enough
leaden ginkgo
I struggle to get everything I need to do on AST done to feel like I'm playing to a standard I'm satisfied with
Very busy class
Lemme dps while heal while managing cards and applying buffs
And cleansing
leaden ginkgo
Every 90s 😭
leaden ginkgo
I'm not complaining really
Just saying generally ast is busy, I like it
I'm still levelling it to 80
It's 71 rn
remote lintel
i like weaving cards more than heals like sch
leaden ginkgo
Soon as a class hits 70 I peel off tho
Yeah weaving cards feels good
I never expected to enjoy AST as much as I do
Not in a mil years
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
because they give more exp
gusty storm
i thought this was the prime farming location
limpid lynx
yeah, dungeons are faster if you're leveling a tank or healer IIRC
but potd is a good way to be in queues less
which is nice for dps
random hollow
do minions serve any purpose?
limpid lynx
nope
remote lintel
potd is only faster if your queues are long
rocky whale
I've been using a controller on my tank character. Works really well, but I sometimes run into difficulty selecting the right target when there are numerous mobs. Any advice with the controller and holding aggro on multiple mobs? I feel like cycling through the mobs by selecting left-right on the dpad has some limitations.
remote lintel
you can hold a trigger and press a bumper to cycle mobs
leaden ginkgo
Ideally have someone rotate with you
Me and a mate level like
1 healer 1 dps
1 tank 1 dps
We take turns levelling a priority class and dps
limpid lynx
all of my friends are post-shadowbringers and already have everything they wanna play leveled ;_;
remote lintel
also you dont really need to aggro mobs one by one
leaden ginkgo
Get new friends O:
Community here is really nice I've met people and levelled with them
rocky whale
@remote lintel good point, I can use cone/aoe attacks on the multiple mobs
leaden ginkgo
You should not be using single target when there's 2 or more mobs
At all
Unless it's like an ogcd weave
Well depends on potency ig
Definitely 3+
random hollow
trigger and bumper cycle mobs? they bring up yy hot bars
leaden ginkgo
I can't imagine playing an mmo with a controller
remote lintel
holding trigger then pressing bumper
leaden ginkgo
That must be a nightmare
rocky whale
I see, so even when there are only 2 mobs, is it better to spam aoe instead of cycling through a chain attack on each one individually?
leaden ginkgo
Inventory management etc
remote lintel
oh i just use my mouse for menus like 70% of the time
leaden ginkgo
Aah
leaden ginkgo
Do some math on the potencies but generally spam aoe with more than one target
remote lintel
if theres 2 you aoe a couple times then do your single target
leaden ginkgo
Eg flood of darkness is 2
random hollow
how you aoe with gamepad?
rocky whale
@leaden ginkgo controller works really really well in this game. I prefer it over mkb for most play, but like Cerebus said, I too use mouse for inv/map management
leaden ginkgo
Unleash is 3
remote lintel
controllers have their own hotbars @random hollow
leaden ginkgo
You can probably cycle target on 2 unless you know the breakpoint for potencies
remote lintel
you just press the skill
leaden ginkgo
But absolutely spam aoe on 3+
random hollow
ah ok
warped nest
What 2B said
leaden ginkgo
If you are not spamming aoe on 3+ you're playing the game wrong
rocky whale
Good stuff. Thanks y'all
leaden ginkgo
No worries
warped nest
The important part is the cutoff point at 3
When you are down to 2 enemies after killing 5-7 others
leaden ginkgo
Don't forget to use your ogcds!
warped nest
Doesn't really matter at that point
random hollow
when I target monsters with the dpad and they move, I kinda lose them if there are other monsters on screen. Is there a better way?
warped nest
If I may, oGCD, if they don't share recast (like Flood of Darkness and Edge of Darkness) with a different oGCD, then they should be used regardless of whether they hit one target or many target
leaden ginkgo
Simple point too but target the highest health mob/mob taking least damage and use it as your focal point for stuff like overpower
remote lintel
you can try changing your target type to cone or just moving your camera so only the monster you want is on your screen
leaden ginkgo
So you don't have to swap as much
obsidian patio
You can scroll through the enmity list with L1+up/down
remote lintel
the game wont target things you cant see
leaden ginkgo
Cone
Fuck yes cone
I can't play this game without cone targetting
The standard is so shit
warped nest
I just disengage and reselect
leaden ginkgo
I don't want to target a mob 50 yalms behind me as a ninja
warped nest
Very bad method, but in handling a big group, I prioritize getting damage out
random hollow
cone targeting is on which menu?
rocky whale
What's the difference between cone & standard? Great tips here btw, I'm new to the game and this convo has been a goldmine 😊
leaden ginkgo
Your fumbling targets costs dps
Cone needs a target, normal aoe doesn't
Cone creates a cone out the back of your target
warped nest
I thought we were talking cone selection
remote lintel
@random hollow character config > target
leaden ginkgo
Cone is genuinely game changing
rocky shale
can you guys educate me about the diff of direct hit and critical hit
random hollow
thx
rocky whale
Yeah I meant cone as in targeting
warped nest
@rocky shale direct hit stat improve the chance to deliver direct hit, which is +25 percent more damage
Critical Hit stat improve the chance to critical hit, and the damage bonus
leaden ginkgo
Direct hits cant trigger on heals
warped nest
Critical Hit and direct Hit can stack
leaden ginkgo
Important distinction
warped nest
What 2B said
rocky shale
so crit is higher priority on ninja then?
warped nest
Crit is always better than dh
leaden ginkgo
Crit is basically BiS on everyone unless you need to hit a gcd cap
remote lintel
crit is always first priority on every class behind skill/spell speed and piety
rocky shale
Bis?
leaden ginkgo
Best in slot
warped nest
Best in slot
rocky shale
ohhh okok thanks
warped nest
Optimized builds
rocky shale
i dont think it matters much at my level tho but thanks i know what to prioritize now
remote lintel
it doesn't matter below 80
leaden ginkgo
Highest item level until 80
warped nest
You change gear too fast while leveling for it to matter
rocky shale
yeah im only f2p and still at seventh astral quests
leaden ginkgo
Something to consider at a later date
rocky shale
yep, thanks guys
leaden ginkgo
Don't run before you can walk
Np
i have no quests left on the churning mist map; but the moogle beast tribe will not spawn
Oh and buy food
Boiled egg or apparently grapes

The only thing that matters before raiding in terms of food is the exp bonus

@leaden ginkgo did you complete tricks and stones
remote lintel
@random hollow standard makes your character face the direction your camera is facing and makes your character walk backwards slowly
legacy turns your camera when you move

ive finished the msq, unless the post-game counts as well
remote lintel
did you check idyllshire
random hollow
ook thx

yeah im in idyllshire right now

brittle comet
is there a way to make Weapons of a Feather less painful
i.e increasing the quantity of feathers you get from each harvest
obsidian patio
At your level no
But you can just buy the feathers from a vendor or the marketboard if you want to
white canopy
Is it cool to ask questions about bugs here? Or is there a better channel?
brittle comet
will that set me back XP-wise? or does harvesting crow feathers not really give that much
obsidian patio
It’s decent experience if you’re doing the quest right when you u locked it.
leaden ginkgo
What job?
obsidian patio
@white canopy what’s the bug?
brittle comet
botanist, collecting 99 crow feathers
remote lintel
diadem doesnt have crow feathers
brittle comet
i've not unlocked diadem yet
leaden ginkgo
Yeah but for exp
white canopy
Just tried to got back to the game, im getting this error:
"An unexpected error has occurred. Exiting FINAL FANTASY XIV.(6d)"
Windows 10, Steam
Every search i did got results from April or earlier, and none helped me
@obsidian patio
leaden ginkgo
Have you finished hw?
remote lintel
what are you trying to do gato
white canopy
Tried a clean boot, running steam as adm
just trying to play the game actually XD
it crashes as soon as i start it
brittle comet
i'm still doing arr, i just wanted to take a break with btn lol
leaden ginkgo
Ah valid
remote lintel
like its crashing when you try to download?
white canopy
nope
leaden ginkgo
No idea then sozi
leaden ginkgo
When you get diadem tho exp isn't a prime concern
leaden ginkgo
I'm legit on the level 5 botanist quest and I'm like level 30 odd in like 2 hours from only diadem
So don't stress over exp too hard

Is there a good macro command to rez ppl not in your party?

silent zodiac
Is there a good video that completely explains the glamor/transmog system?
Very confused on how it works, do I have to destroy gear that i want for mogs?
leaden ginkgo
Basically you go to a glamour dresser and spend a prism to bank it in your dresser and you can pull it out at any time
obsidian patio
@leaden ginkgo I never bother healing/raising other alliances unless their healers are dead
leaden ginkgo
Also put things that say this can go in your armoire in your armoire
@leaden ginkgo I never bother healing/raising other alliances unless their healers are dead
@obsidian patio literally same
silent zodiac
so I have to destroy it forever? If I get something thats really cool, its safe to just glamor it and lose the item forever?
silent zodiac
also how do I get more glamor prisms?
leaden ginkgo
You can pull it out of at any time like I said
remote lintel
you pay a glam prism to store it
remote lintel
silent zodiac
thanks guys

question about enochian for BM, i was under its effects after i used blizzard 3, then i switched to umbral fire 3 with fire 3 followed by fire 1 as per normal, then back to umbral 3 with blizzard 3
then i was unable to use blizzard 4
i thought enochian is maintained as long as the umbral ice or fire effect doesn't expire within 15 seconds

Doing leves, I get more gil from the turning in of the item itself, how much gil do I get per HQ turn in?

level crafters, even just cul/alch, even low level stuff sells well, stable 100-200k daily

are there any spears in ffxiv that have a tip like this? Asking for a glam

@leaden ginkgo if it works like experience then double for HQ

Oh damn
So if I turn in 3 HQ items, I get 24k + 3k from the leve

Remember the material/time cost of the items too

@lean python preferred servers in general for the massive experience boost they give to make going through the story easier

What made me think about it is, someone in NN said something like getting 1.6 mil in 3 days doing this CUL leve

does FF14 adds more armor to Armoire as time passs?

@noble sage the only weapon that’s truly like that is the Bokuto for Samurai from the gold saucer

Is there any reward limit on copied factory even after bunker is released? I just reached endgame so I dont really know how was it back then on previous expansion
@bronze narwhal there's no cap on copied loot at all at this time. puppet still have the 1 coin/cluster/piece of gear lock for the immediate future
i just finished the base story now lv 50. whats next? i have followed the msq after that but they are rewarding me with nothing so was just wondering
@patent solstice you're in the post-ARR story quests. these were never designed to give exp, and wrap up ARR, while leading into heavensward. so keep trucking through those quests
grab some augmented ironworks gear if you have poetics as well
bronze narwhal
Oh nice, that means its spamable for gear
Thank you
little swift
can i buy level 30 crafting set from market board? is it worth it?
@dapper oyster you can probably by it from the vendor or just do all your class quests for a near full set
save yourself some money
dapper oyster
which vendor?
little swift
crafting gear? the armor npc vendor in the main city
select "disciple of hand/land gear"
dapper oyster
because im trying to get 100 collectability for the ishgardian restoration and i believe those set might help me on achieving that
little swift
do your roulettes and keep playing the story for now, you'll get a decent sum to work with by the time you get all the way through the game
patent citrus
pretty easy for ishgard restoration 🤔 npc gears will do
little swift
definitely just use a vendor from one of the main cities
patent citrus
once you reached 60> you might need materia and blue gears if you insist of doing macro
dapper oyster
most of the time i only got like 70ish -.-
i got 100 twice but still
patent citrus
but if you level like usual and use proc, you would be fine
little swift
you're not at a point where gear is worth the cost
dapper oyster
alright thanks
little swift
the shops will sell normal quality, but its better than nothing
patent citrus
would suggest checking #doh-dol-lounge
there's a pinned doc there that helps you level in ishgard restoration
I use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEg0Hy77yuo&ab_channel=DesperiusFFXIV but because I didn't know about the docs before

Hello just looking for some clarifications. Why does my service account status say Standard instead of Entry when the option I chose is entry?
dapper oyster
o really, alright i will
acoustic osprey
is stormblood story better than heavenward

If you've just purchased the game, you'll be on the free 30 day bonus. Which counts as a standard sub. Once you start actual payments, it'll switch to Entry pricing.

ahh Alright. My 30 days isn't finished yet. That makes you right then 🙂

im a bit confused how to change my character now that i used the fantasia. do i log back in with him or is there something on the main screen im meant to click to edit him?
leaden ginkgo
@obsidian patio can you ride them at any level?
gloomy ice
To edit your character after using a fantasia, remove all equipment except weapon/job crystal, then log out. On the log in screen, right click your character, or hit Square/X if you're using a controller, and then you'll see an option to Re-Edit Character. @low shore
low shore
ah ok thanks
obsidian patio
No, you still need to unlock the chocobo from your grand company at level 20 in the story to use Gil-bought mounts
leaden ginkgo
I still haven't gotten the chocobo but I unlocked the means to if I had 200 seals
do I need to do the seals thing first?
warped nest
Your next story quest after getting the option to unlock chocobo
Will reward exactly
200 seals
leaden ginkgo
oh nice
obsidian patio
@acoustic osprey IMO, no. Stormblood is still a great story, but I personally thought too much of the focus was on the Far East instead of Gyr Abania
vital ruin
Do I have to feed my chocobo all the required items one by one to change color
gloomy ice
Yeah there's no mass feed option, sadly.
patent citrus
there's a calculator for that, and you have to feed them in order
gloomy ice
The color calculator thing should show you feed order too so you don't accidentally skew it too far into one color and throw off the end result.
patent citrus
after 8 hours
gloomy ice
Leave it in the stable for six hours
vital ruin
I'm wide awake 
patent citrus
i'm not sure, i did that when i was about to sleep
cause when you feed it, you can't take it out

Where do you go to get the Eureka +2 armor upgrade in Hydatos? Only see the +1 from the artisan

That 20 ilvl increase will do way more than a single materia slot can.

Elemental Armor +2 requires entering the Baldesion Arsenal. @elder sinew

so only use fire 3 when it procs til you get fire 4?

Fire 4 is more powerful than Fire 1
rotund sable
F3 and B3 are also useful for swapping between astral fire and umbral ice
serene dune
ok
warped nest
But Fire 4 doesn't refresh your Astral Fire buff

So you actually need to use Fire 1 to refresh it

hey my chocobo wont summon but I;m outside of a city? any idea why?
zinc orbitBOT
plain python
Fire 4 is like a starter for fire stance. You switch from 3-stack Ice to 3-stack Fire with quicker cast speed. After that, Fire 1 will give chance for free-MP/instant-cast Fire 3.
obsidian patio
Fire 3*
plain python
yeah Fire 3 XD

should i start my sub 40 rotation with a thunder? or spam fire 1st and use thunder after transpose?
