It only removes itself when you sync down

It deactivates when you sync down levels, such as in synced duties

Do I lose the new soulstone or do I keep it

is it a bad idea to have 2 main classes
@wooden ginkgo I main both DRK and AST
I guess I main everything but DPS LOL
Fuck DPS
Fishing was my first 80

oh but i main dps and tank
wooden ginkgo
but doesnt that mean i wont be as good if i only mained one
leaden ginkgo
Na
faint flare
Some people have everything at 80 and play everything
naive kraken
wait, people main roles?
leaden ginkgo
Unless you're ultimate raiding it's whatever
faint flare
🤷♂️
gloomy ice
Not necessarily. Learning the basics of one role correlates to every other job in that role type.
naive kraken
the only melee DPS i'd be is dragoon
leaden ginkgo
Due to 'role action' there's a fair bit of cross over
DRG is fucking garbo till 70
Soooooo boring
gloomy ice
So if you’re a good tank, you can probably pick up any other and do just as well without reading too much.
wooden ginkgo
yeah rn im between gladiator and lancer
naive kraken
warrior and gunbreaker. i'm not DRK or PLD material
crimson wind
Soooooo boring
@leaden ginkgo fun is subjective
wooden ginkgo
idk ill probably just choose one main later anyways
crimson wind
Paladin is the only tank I don't play
leaden ginkgo
DRG isn't a class till 70
naive kraken
and the only range i'd be is dancer, and only caster is summoner.
crimson wind
I dunno about that man
leaden ginkgo
I'm not saying it's a bad class, i'm saying the top loading is bad

I'm stating my opinion
Don't need to jump down my throat

I thought you were saying that paladin and warrior had some huge difference when it comes to DPS and I was about to go on a tangent lmao
granite swan
(Joke) War is obviously more dps, i mean, a big axe smacking is gonna hurt more then a longsword :p
leaden ginkgo
Big if tru
But yeah can anyone answer my question above?
So I'm on the cronus step of the DRK HW relic and it's my understanding that I can't have 2 relics on the same step
I have a new soulstone and no light in my drk relic
If I drop this quest to let me AST overtake it
Do I lose the new soulstone or do I keep it?
naive kraken
i can safely ignore opinions of people that love ninja XD
i'd assume you'd lose it if you don't complete it once? only ever done one relic though
wooden ginkgo
how should i level my classes? one at a time or both together or should i do something else?

wooden ginkgo
@fading tulip ok tysm
glossy flare
as a begginer, should i choose dps or tank
@wooden ginkgo DPS has to do more with their own skills, they are usually more complex compared to tanks. Tanks on the other hand are simpler but need to pay attention to certain other things in the fight
wooden ginkgo
oh
glossy flare
Honestly, do not be afraid of tanking
wooden ginkgo
after playing it for a while i stopped getting stressed out as a tank
now its just choosing between lancer or gladiator lol
glossy flare
People might tell you it is hard but lemme tell you... tanks do be afraid of tanking
strange coral
@bold rain Steam or non-steam?
spare plinth
i always imagine that as tank people expect you to know how the dungeon works
wooden ginkgo
yeah :/
spare plinth
some people i see pull more mobs than they can handle
glossy flare
well that is part of the learning process, at least you get instant feedback
granite swan
Theres so many dungeons, i seriously doubt most ppl can even remember stuff for every boss lol
glossy flare
for most of the game you get 0 feedback on your dps
naive kraken
i hate tanking HW and SB
glossy flare
until you get to required dps stuff
wooden ginkgo
i want to level one class to max and then do the other later
but i just want to do the easier one first
spare plinth
i always imagine that its best to be dps so you can focus on attacking and then healer and dps after playing the dungeon multiple times
bold rain
@strange coral steam
glossy flare
well if you level the first via msq then dps would probably be the smart thing
because tanks have shorter queue times
so leveling an alt tank is faster than an alt dps
spare plinth
for some reason i always feel so bad if the tank dies in the dungeon and i fail to heal them up
the only alt dps i have is sum and brd
granite swan
90% Tank Fault tho ... so many of them dont use half their kit
glossy flare
true
fading tulip
Can't argue
spare plinth
tho i mainly use brd to hunt doh materials like aldgoat skin or pelts
gloomy ice
@fluid glacier Queueing for alliance roulette is more likely to put you in a raid you don’t need. Queueing for Rabanastre should work but it will take a bit to find a party to match.
spare plinth
some reason i get more stuff if im around the same level or a bit higher
naive kraken
having more people in your party, regardless of their job, will put the priority in filling your queue higher than a solo person, since its 4 people waiting on it instead of just 1 and filling in qualified people
strange coral
@bold rain I'm not super familiar with the steam version, but I think: copy the folder somewhere on the D drive for the time being. Uninstall it from Steam, then re-install on Steam but choosing to install to D. Let it reinstall the FF14 launcher. Then copy the backed up files to the new folder and run the launcher from Steam.
bold rain
well
granite swan
You can have steam make another install directory and move it that way, i think
Atleast thats how it works for other steam games
fading tulip
I think you just need to uninstall the game and re-install. Just into another drive this time?
strange coral
The steam version is a bit weird in that it only provides the launcher and some base game files. Everything else is downloaded via the game launcher, which are files that steam doesn't track.
faint flare
First
fallow juniper
How valuable is a stat like Str compared to secondary stats? In ratio for example?
faint flare
Far more valuable
fallow juniper
So as 60 DRG I’m picking a 2nd ring with 3 stats (4th one being Tenacity so no use) over a lower ilvl ring that has 4 DPS stats, that is OK?
Tank one being 270 ilvl and other one being 240
strange coral
At 60 you can get both Augmented Shire STR rings as they aren't class/job restricted. Both are ilvl 270 with 78 STR on them. Of course one has tenacity, but it's not really worth worrying about at that level.
fallow juniper
Yeah that’s the exact one I was looking at
hollow mango
ahmm the Liberator spear glows when sheathe if I use it as glamour will that also show?
fallow juniper
Was using a 270 and 240 one so far but wondered how much more valuable the Str was in comparison to having a 4th stat go to complete waste
I am using it as glam @hollow mango and it glows when you pull it out
hollow mango
Okay nice thanks

My brother-in-law wants to do ARR deep dungeon with me but I do not have it unlocked. Where can I go to pick up the quest for it?

Is there a pre-made list of all the stuff you need for each crafting quest 1-80 or 1-50?

Is there a way to see the total population of a world? Not just how many online but how many characters exist on per say, Ultros?

We have those periodic censuses performed by luckybanchou
But those should not be taken for exact information
bold rain
@strange coral wait a secv
faint flare
Post ARR barely ever
bold rain
where did you bought the game?
strange coral
It can be useful in the lower level dungeons as some bosses can be stunned during an uninterruptable cast. But after ARR most are immune to it.
little swift
Whenever you wamt on trash pulls. It stops 1 mob from hitting you for a bit
strange coral
I have the SE store version
faint flare
Only some ARR bosses can be stunned and its inconsistent
little swift
Outside of dungeon pulls not much use in boss fights
bold rain
does it have the whole launcher thingie?
gloomy ice
Some telegraphed busters or AoEs can be stunned but yeah as you go higher in level, the amount of things vulnerable to it drops sharply
calm phoenix
Is there any reward(s) for maxing out your beast tribe friendships? For now, the only one I want to max out is Amalj'aa because they are eye candy (they look really cool) but if there are incentives for maxing others out, I might
strange coral
Yes, but you can't use it if you registered the steam version.
faint flare
Plus if you have a white mage post 45. They naturally build stun resistance with holy spam
There's a Allied beast tribe quest when you max out all beast tribes for that expansion/area
bold rain
ahhh that sucks
obsidian patio
Most of the tribes add another minion or Mount when hitting max rank
faint flare
Ontop of the rank rewards for that beast tribes

Or other things like a dance or housing furniture

ARR allied tribe quest specifically has a neat half mask glamour piece that you can unlock.

Can I get an Amalj'aa NPC at a house or apartment? I have seen others with beast NPCs
tidal yarrow
during e7s add phase, the third add will not target a player if it gets hit by them?
it just does the aoe lines right?
obsidian patio
Only namazu and Ananta have housing NPCs
faint flare
The 3rd add just wanders arounds and fires aoes at people
obsidian patio
Maybe kojin too? Can’t remember
robust crow
the 3rd add can't be tanked @tidal yarrow since it does its own thing
tidal yarrow
so i can DOT it safely as sam?
robust crow
yes
faint flare
Yes
robust crow
you can dot all 3
faint flare
Most jobs do multi dot
tidal yarrow
thanks
robust crow
free DPS
faint flare
Provided you're not slacking in dps
tidal yarrow
yeah im tryna get the timing down
bold rain
its funny i bought the game more then 4 hour ago and i cant even play it
faint flare
You can probably try and prep a sen, dot it then dash to another add to dot that before going to the next
Probably
little swift
I don't think triple dotting on Sam is worth the gcds for that phase
faint flare
Probably not
strange coral
You might just have to start over and reinstall/redownload to the D drive, Demi
little swift
Arguably double dot on the tanked adds
tidal yarrow
yay i will try and see! tysm
bold rain
ahh
little swift
But triple seems like a big waste of time
bold rain
might as well try
tidal yarrow
triple dot is optimal
robust crow
as a whm triple dot on that phase is fantastic
tidal yarrow
according to the balance
robust crow
gives me more chances to weave
little swift
Ofc whm is fine but you're using at least 6 gcds on dotting adds as the sam
wooden ginkgo
how do i actually get all of the aggro? i always only get like 70 percent of the mobs.
little swift
Though I guess it lasts for half the add phase
faint flare
Hit mobs with tank stance on
little swift
So it won't be awful?
robust crow
Kirby, tank stance causes you to generate 10x more aggro
obsidian patio
Make sure you’re hitting all of them, bigger monsters can “soak” up the range of your attacks
faint flare
If you're not getting aggro, you're missing them
wooden ginkgo
yeah i keep missing my total eclipse
tidal yarrow
actually on a clip i just saw they don't lose basically any gcd. i think 1 in total
wooden ginkgo
i always miss like 1 or 2
robust crow
also make sure you have your interrupt bound somewhere
faint flare
Stop and slow down slightly to get a second one off
bold rain
faint flare
To guarantee aggro
robust crow
many mobs are immune to stuns but can still be interrupted
bold rain
i dont fricking know what to do now
wooden ginkgo
ooh ok tysmm
robust crow
demi that error message is pretty direct
bold rain
while it is
robust crow
I'm not sure how the downloader works exactly but maybe it stores temp files on C
so try cleaning up some space on C
1.4gb isn't that much to ask for
bold rain
i feel stupid
little swift
actually on a clip i just saw they don't lose basically any gcd. i think 1 in total
@tidal yarrow I wasn't implying losses, just how many gcds are needed to get 1 Sen and apply dot with meikyo up. I don't doubt its fine I just think it seems like you could get more damage off on a specific add in that time.though since I don't play Sam at that level
robust crow
there is a sam in my FC who has orange parsed before and he always triple dots
so make of that what you will
tidal yarrow
but i guess it's worth if scientists on the balance says so
little swift
I mean mathwise it makes sense
But it just feels off. Not that that is something to discuss here
robust crow
the dot that ticks for the full minute is higher potency than midare iirc
but i'm no sam main either
so i won't advise much else past that

oh i see ill try that, i thoght u meant a ff old version. still worth trying, thanks
calm phoenix
Well, I have the ironworks earrings and I picked up a level 54 dragon earrings from a dungeon and the ironworks earrings are better for SMN than the level 54 earrings despite being level 50 and I have a problem. I cannot glam to a higher level item than I am wearing despite the fact that the ilv is the same.
robust crow
i have no idea how the ff14 installer works
probably best to just clean some space and try again
robust crow
i'm only making an educated guess lol
obsidian patio
Glamour cares about the equip level of the item, not the item level
The level 54 ones may be worse, but they’re still a higher level
bold rain
well for now ill only play pso2
calm phoenix
And that is where I run into the issue. My equip level 50 is better than the level 54 earrings so I need something better so I can glam
zinc orbitBOT
sand stratus
You'll just have to wait until you get something higher level and better
calm phoenix
Even if I have to get my brother-in-law to craft something
robust crow
i'd say just wait until idyllshire, unless you MUST have that glam right now
and buy earrings with poetics
little swift
you could go for this as your second ring after augmented shire
if you really wanted crafted
otherwise oyu can do some alex savage for the ring
obsidian patio
Not completely sure, I assume you were trying steam trial and never got to enter the game?
bold rain
i bought the game for 10 bucks
naive kraken
throwing money doesn't necessarily fix issues unless you're getting bigger hard drives with said money. better off totally uninstalling
naive kraken
and then installing on a different drive, and making sure your windows swap file allocation isnt bigger than the space left on your C drive

faint flare
In general
proud willow
difficulty of lower level stuff is really hard to gauge because of overgearing
A1N was kinda hard once upon a time, it's been years since anyone has had to know the mechanics
robust crow
well, either way, for normal eden you're perfectly fine just queueing for it in DF blind
chances are, you'll get a clear

people still struggle with A9N and last week I had a party that wiped 6 times to CID
faint flare
Trash are trash as they say
proud willow
No, average players are average players
That's what I'm trying to get at
Average players getting to normal raids for the first time will struggle

i get there's reasons why you shouldn't have echo on alexander, but A9N and a couple others could probably use it.
and for cid, took 3 tries after putting waymarkers on where to place the bubbles before we finally passed

The Gridiana Adventurer's guild does not have the ARR deep dungeon quest! I am half way into Heavensward but that was never offered to me and it is NOT there now! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
little swift
the npc that has it is by the front of the door
quest is "the house that death built"
sand stratus
if it's not there, check to see if you've already done the quest
calm phoenix
It does not show up as incomplete in my journal and I cannot find it completed.
sand stratus
can you show us a screenshot of the NPC not having the quest?
calm phoenix
I found the quest completed in my Gridiana sidequests but no deep dungeon

you have to queue in quarrymill, at the expedition captain
granite swan
talk to Wood Wailer Expeditionary Captain

then you go to quarrymill and you can speak to the npc and you can enter
you can only queue in from that specific npc
not through your regular duty finder
calm phoenix
What NPC? Nobody has a + quest other than levelmete
little swift
its not a + quest
twilit arch
Wood Wailer Expeditionary Captain

you talk to the WOOD WAILER EXPEDITIONARY CAPTAIN

Deep Dungeons are only entered via that specific NPC

Where is he at Quarrymill?

Stupid question probly, do you have to gather the stuff for Gathering Quests or can you get it from mb/vendors?
faint flare
Unless its from a special node that only spawns for that quest. You can buy it
granite swan
ok
obsidian patio
AKA only the level 60-70 quests need you to actually gather the item yourself
I think also the level 15 or 20 quest? Whichever one wants you to get carbonized matter

I keep trying to open the level 60 armor chest but it keeps saying i can't open because I'll have more than one version if a unique item piece

do you have any level 60 armor pieces?

In the system settings you can see a volume option, turn down the volume there.

How hard it is to get eureka anemos weapons? Looking to get one for SMN cause mimesis lux doesn't appeal to me

from your contacts you should be able to, afterwards though

queen yoke
I got one question about the disciple's of the hand
I get it they all craft stuff but aren't some of them the same?
polar hound
no
queen yoke
Then what are the differences between blacksmith and armorer for example?
torn sun
@rich bay thank you!
polar hound
^^
each crafter compliments another in some way, generally speaking. its always advisable to level all at the same time (Cept maybe CUL til later)
queen yoke
I see, so there are well divided reasons to level each I presume
twilit arch
specifically armorer makes predominately metal armour
wide cave
can I equip neo ishgardian ring twice?
queen yoke
I see
polar hound
Yeah Ide, each one will compliment the others crafts in ways
twilit arch
with leatherwork being namely leather, and weaver namely cloth armour
yes @wide cave
wide cave
nice
polar hound
so your GSM craft may take some crafting from lets say LTW to finish etc.
remote lintel
you should level all crafters at the same time
polar hound
you'll save money in the long run for sure.
queen yoke
Yeah but I mean you can't craft everything at the same time
But i will level them all
polar hound
level one until you need a craft from another, level that.. or maybe set level brackets to swap. IE: Get ARM to 50 then work on next to 50
at least unlock them all so you can do daily Grand Company turnins for nice daily exp towards them
queen yoke
Sounds like a plan
granite swan
or just ishgard everything up :p
polar hound
that's 20+
for crafters anyway
daily gcs can definitely get you to 20 in a decently fast fashion lol
granite swan
Problem with ishgarding them all up though, is the 30-50 quests u have to do afterwards lol
granite swan

Roulettes daily and dungeons

Were the GC crafting tools/armor around back in ARR? Its weird that stuff is better then the blue gear from the final ARR quest

the artisan gear wasn't added until 2.2

well the mh atleast, armour was added in 2.5
also wasn't added til gc seals unti like something hw iirc

is there a place here where I can ask for help naming my character? I'm real bad at it haha
polar hound
hmm, i know a lot of folks are understanding of the naming conventions, @wintry chasm rommy and lyon specifically (sorry for tag, saw you online)
strong hemlock
why can i click on master recipes 2 for goldsmith but it says nothing to display does it mean i forgot to buy it but if so then why would it even show up ?
stable hinge
you want a lore friendly name?
wintry chasm
What's up?
storm cosmos
yeah kinda, for a female highlander. she's starting off as a lancer and I kind of envision her as a feisty tough lady from somewhere in the ul'dah desert
I have the first names Heidi and Soleil floating around in my head but am open to suggestions, plus the surname is the hardest for me
robust crow
sunny, are you aware of the official naming conventions guide
each race has canon names
robust crow
wintry chasm
I wouldn't say it's any kinda scandanavian thing. It's basically just "normal names"
robust crow
that link may help you in deciding your name
wintry chasm
The lorebook likes to say that the surname can be a bit violent but honestly I can't think of an instance of that actually...being a thing in terms of NPCs
storm cosmos
yeah its tough to make names like that not sound ridiculous
robust crow
granite swan
half the names in limsa look like someone facerolled a keyboard and picked out 8-12 letters ...

half the names in limsa look like someone facerolled a keyboard and picked out 8-12 letters ...

plain python
I remember some Roe named Leeching something
wintry chasm
I like doing what Fiddler said and just take some nice sounding names for reference
storm cosmos
I made a roe earlier named Reverent Stone, I like his first name but the last name as a noun is tough to choose
ok!
plain python
their way of naming reminds me of native American Indian. If you were born when a bull was sitting outside of your tent, your name was Sitting Bull.
remote lintel
if you want a cool sounding last name just basically look at the discography for the band Heilung

add an E. Stonee. well, shit, it worked for Lorde--uh, i mean Warde 😉

@placid ridge you want the correct role for it

will the dragonsung crafting/gathering relics get stronger at any point?

RDM are Casters, so yes

@umbral lance the next update is 5.35
no idea what they're putting the ilvl at but they won't be better than a penta melded Aesthete's tool until later later on
obsidian patio
@placid ridge if you’re a high enough level on another class you can run the dungeon undersized by yourself
Anything over level 50 should be more than enough to solo it fast
umbral lance
sigh, here I go pentamelding again
placid ridge
How do I select soloing it?
obsidian patio
Click the cog at the top of the duty finder menu and enable undersized party
placid ridge
Ah thank you
obsidian patio
That lets you enter in duties without being synced down with whatever your current party is
placid ridge
Been frustrated all morning running this missing like 6-7 drops

@umbral lance there's already preliminary meld sets using dragonsung for 5.4 so you don't have to unless you plan on participating in ishgard restoration expert rankings

I have someone that can do it. he's just not online yet so was just going to vendor if possible

is botanist or miner making more money, generally, in diadem?
proud willow
maybe I'm out of the loop but I don't think anything in Diadem makes you money
umbral lance
ah.
ripe hound
Quite a few can sell for a few hundred
radiant bough
It's more profitable to buy mats and craft junk for skysteel currency and selling that stuff tbh
ripe hound
It's not gonna be a lot of money but it's still some
umbral lance
so generally the only reason to perfect your melds at this time is for ranking
ripe hound
So Radius you mean buy mats craft stuff turn in for Skysteel Scripts then turn it into mats / materia and sell them?
radiant bough
Essentially. Also glamour and dyes.
wooden ginkgo
not really a question but the leveling slowed so much lvl 27
devout siren
Stupid question. Does the Echo Buff just multiply your current stats or does give you stats you otherwise didn't have?
wooden ginkgo
is it just gonna get slower
ripe hound
kk
proud willow
How far are you in the MSQ, kirby?
wooden ginkgo
im at lvl 23 quests
jade quartz
@devout siren it’s a damage and damage reduction modifier
wooden ginkgo
just finished the sylph stuff
jade quartz
Percentage based
neat schooner
Hey, question for Ninja, how does Doton work? Is it a dot for enemies inside it, or does it only damage one time when they enter?
radiant bough
I haven't had anything below level 60 in a long time but a friend recently started during the new free trials and rapidly over leveled the plot to 50 in about a week playing
proud willow
I've heard that after the rework, levelling and going through the early story is super fast
devout siren
@jade quartz That is a non-answer.
wooden ginkgo
it used to be really fast for me
proud willow
first complaint I have heard that the levelling is slow
jade quartz
Damages enemies while they are standing inside it @neat schooner
wooden ginkgo
am i just overleveled
neat schooner
Thanks
jade quartz
Percentage modifier applied to the damage formula
zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
Numerical stat values are not affected, the buff is a multiplier on top
proud willow
lv 27 doing lv 23 MSQ isn't overleveled
levels do come slower the higher up you go
so you will not get levels nearly as fast as you did from 1-20. Those go by lightning fast
devout siren
@jade quartz So would that influence stat weights? Say in hypothetically, if I'm trying to take a measure of Determination. If I keep changing the amount of Determinaion I had, but all results across the board were filtered through an echo buff -- The results of the Determination would still remain the same, yet merely have the increased potency of the buff? Same for Crit, etc.
jade quartz
There are no stat weights
proud willow
It shouldn't have any effect on stat weights
wooden ginkgo
@proud willow ooh ok tysm
proud willow
If you were dealing 10000 DPS without the Echo, you'll be dealing 11000 DPS with the Echo (if it's 10%)
couldn't be more straightforward
jade quartz
But Echo is not a consideration when calculating stat effectiveness no
jade quartz
Not that it would matter even if it did change the statistical effectiveness
Because no content in which sub stat distribution would possibly matter has the Echo
proud willow
It is possible that different MSQs have different XP rewards now. I haven't checked
devout siren
@jade quartz That is entirely beside the point. 😛 Kind of a tangent there.
proud willow
I know people don't like hearing "the answer to your question doesn't matter" but sometimes it is the most correct answer
like if someone were asking what materia to meld to run Sastasha
devout siren
Well if I'm asking the question, I have a valid reason for asking. 🙂
lavish vortex
How can you get General purpose Jet Black Dye?
proud willow
You did preface it by saying that it's a "stupid question".
General purpose Jet Black Dye is an extremely rare result from sending your retainer on a Venture
lavish vortex
Thanks, is there any level (or of any other kind) requirement for the retainer?
proud willow
You can also buy a non-tradeable Jet Black Dye in the cash shop
lavish vortex
Oof, but too expensive haha I’m not that rich
proud willow
If you get a message saying something like 'with higher stats, your retainer could get better rewards" when they come back from a venture, they haven't hit the stat breakpoint yet
I don't know if your can still get the rare dyes without hitting that breakpoint. If you can, it's even lower odds than usual
raw solstice
it's a bit annoying if you're targetting a specific type of dye from ventures though
warped nest
It's RNG
raw solstice
since even if you get lucky and they bring back dye, there's a lot of options for the rare dyes they can bring back
proud willow
yeah
raw solstice
you're best off buying off of MB or cash shop, if you're set on that dye
lavish vortex
I see, so rng, very low chance, got it haha
ripe hound
Generally speaking you are just sending out ventures for gil, then you use gil to buy paint from market board
lavish vortex
Wait, cash shop is another shop than the MB?
ripe hound
Cash shop is mog station, pay stuff in USD
lavish vortex
Ohhh! That shop! Haha got it
plain python
make retainers a miner and send them for mining venture?
remote lintel
do the quest an ill conceived venture
then make them a miner from the retainer menu
plain python
you have 2 of them, right?
remote lintel
by default yes
lavish vortex
Miner retainer has a higher chance of getting dyes?
plain python
I think more profitable?
ripe hound
Probably less so, chance to get dye
I think combat have the highest chance to get dye
lavish vortex
I’ll just send them and hope for the best haha I’ll get something eventually
Thanks guys!
lavish vortex
It’s not that I don’t have the Gil, it’s that it’s too expensive in my opinion... but that’s how the market works haha... when I’m a billionaire I’ll take that luxury 😂
ripe hound
Yeah, but I think dyes are one of the items where mb is the only option
plain python
try different color? 😄
mental garnet
anyone know the shortest dungeon to run unsync?

ripe hound
Why do you need to run dungeons?
ripe hound
Oh
mental garnet
i don't like doing roulettes twice lol

cuz he don't want to walk yeah, doing dungeon unsycn should be faster then waiting people wailing with their lv15 skills
for some classes, you gotta rearrange your skill synced D:

Question about joining a FC. Does it matter what server its on as long as I'm on the same data center? I'm basically brand new to FFXIV

Nope, not possible to join an FC on another server

@gleaming mason i personally use the consolegames ffxiv wiki for hunts, since they have maps with flags of possible locations. there might be a better resource but that's what works for me

and I'm assuming changing servers is a paid cost?
remote lintel
yes
