cedar quiver
#

okay so, given that I'm on gilgamesh, I'll need to find a gilgamesh FC. correct?

remote lintel
#

yes

cedar quiver
#

thanks!

gleaming mason
#

can i solo those elite marks? @proud willow

remote lintel
#

depends on your level

plain python
#

will there be more dungeons added to routtle: main scenario?

#

or only two ARR dungeons with full cutscene available to that routtele?

obsidian patio
#

Likely only those two

lofty orchid
#

I lost my road to 70 buff when the server is still preferred. how come?

#

I was told its 90 days or until the server loses preferred status

#

whichever is later

whole wasp
#

Which server

lofty orchid
#

Mateus

whole wasp
#

Also are you are lvl 70?

#

!status mateus

zinc orbitBOT

Information

Mateus is currently Online

Creation of New Characters Unavailable

lofty orchid
#

I am leveling my MNK which is 67

whole wasp
#

I...i have no idea

lofty orchid
#

yeah its gone

whole wasp
#

Maybe try relogging?

lofty orchid
#

Its been this way for 2 days now

#

my friend started the same day as me

#

and he still has his

#

I tried putting in a support ticket

#

i dont think I'll get a response

cinder maple
#

Is it possible to solo farm lanners now?

granite swan
#

When did you create the character?

lofty orchid
#

its been 90 days from saturday

granite swan
#

weird then

ripe hound
#

My Bard never gains any spirit bond

#

Is it because the lv 70 poetics gear can't be spirit bonded?

whole wasp
#

It can be. Hitting same level mobs dont gain spirit bond quickly.

lofty orchid
#

does the support team usually send you a response?

whole wasp
#

Yes

lofty orchid
#

through email or in-game?

whole wasp
#

But covid so might be a little slow these days

#

Email

ripe hound
#

Kk

midnight sable
#

Hey guys I need a little help I didn’t get an inventory full warning I open up one my coffers an I don’t see it is lost forever?

proud willow
#

@gleaming mason the ones listed on elite marks are B ranks. You should be able to solo them

whole wasp
#

Yes. You can try putting in a support ticket.

ripe hound
#

Have you checked your armory inventory ?

#

If your armory inventory is full, is it in your normal inventory?

#

If you can't find it anywhere then it's gonna be a problem

granite swan
#

Didnt support go back into full swing on the 9th or something?

midnight sable
#

Thank you I found them in there I was tripping out lmao

manic flare
#

do you have to wear the alpine coat in the dinner with aymeric?

vivid thorn
#

under what circumstances would using legacy camera actually help?

whole wasp
#

For those who only play with legacy camera

#

Like me. Else feel free to ignore it.

vivid thorn
#

does it help dodge better?

whole wasp
#

Im just used to it. Also i like backpedalling at full speed.

little swift
#

makes jiggling for gaze mechanics a little more button heavy

#

but its fine either way

granite swan
#

pressing S and blitzing away on DNC is so much nicer then having to swing the camera around

leaden ginkgo
#

is there any way of selling items on other server markets?

#

also is there something I should know about selling items faster?

faint flare
#

You can only sell on your server

leaden ginkgo
#

fugg

#

red materia sells for so crappy on my server

#

it's the higher level one too vi and vii

jade quartz
#

Yeah those are easy to come by

#

VIII is the top grade

#

And still pretty easy to come by

elfin edge
#

You get one from roulette I think?

whole wasp
#

Without relevant crafted driving demand, aint much use for them too.

gleaming mason
#

thanks a lot for the help @mental garnet and @proud willow, i got the elite mark thanks to you two

manic flare
#

what's the point of the gauss round for machinist?

ripe hound
#

Isn't it free?

#

I mean free damage?

little swift
#

its an ogcd

#

you slam it in in between your main combo

#

and during hypercharge in between heat blasts

leaden ginkgo
#

@whole wasp what would drive demand? like an expansion about to come out?

whole wasp
#

For example in patch 5.3

jade quartz
#

New raid tier

whole wasp
#

Neo ishgardian came out. White crafted gear that accepts overmeld

ripe hound
#

Wild fire is MCH's biggest damage up skill right?

#

Like you play everything around Wild Fire?

whole wasp
#

So people buy 6s and 7s to meld

warped nest
#

Not really anymore

ripe hound
#

Or do you just use it as a oGCD cool down?

#

Oh, I see, it don't scale with damage anymore

jade quartz
#

Everything lines up pretty naturally on MCH

ripe hound
#

Just numbers of GCD you put in

jade quartz
#

Wildfire coincides with overheat window so you can cram the fast gcds in

#

Recommend just having a read through

ripe hound
#

Yeah I never really played MCH before. Mained Bard for quite a few expansions though

jade quartz
#

!faq mchguide

ripe hound
#

Yeah, I'm currently just reading the skills on job guide lol

#

No idea if I want to level this job yet

jade quartz
#

It’s p cool and high apm

#

Stylish

#

Fairly selfish dps

warped nest
#

MCH has no RNG

#

Which can be a selling point

jade quartz
#

Can be a bit annoying if you have high ping

warped nest
#

If that's what you are looking for

leaden ginkgo
#

@whole wasp some of them seem to sell for like 10-75k even

#

guessing only the viii's sell for that much

ripe hound
#

I actually kind of like Bard's RNG stuff

#

Maybe I just got used to it

leaden ginkgo
#

@little swift/@ripe hound I just wanted to thank you about the advice you gave me yesterday (regarding hunt trains), after a couple hours of waiting, my friend and I finally joined and we really enjoyed it

whole wasp
#

People have been stockpiling materias

#

You also get 8s everywhere.

ripe hound
#

Cool, take care no reasons

leaden ginkgo
#

we had to wait longer than expected, mostly due to the time at which we were playing the game

ripe hound
#

Yeah, generally you just do other stuff. And when you are lucky and a train pops you hop on

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah

ripe hound
#

Since it's pretty random when do trains launch

leaden ginkgo
#

it takes time to prepare, so it's understandable

little swift
#

they usually happen every 4-6 hours on each world

ripe hound
#

Yeah, generally the conductors launch trains as soon as the 16 bosses are collected

#

To make sure the next train fires sooner

ionic patio
#

Hey, so, what do I do with approved materials I get from the Diadem? Just sell them?

ripe hound
#

Another option is just to make sure they can ping you, then do roulettes

#

Generally a train might fire while you're doing some roulettes. You can then join them after you finish the roulette

#

You might only get half a train, but it's still something

bronze narwhal
#

How to lose on mahjong, its been an hour playdead

leaden ginkgo
#

@ionic patio you use them to craft stuff. If you aren't crafting, might as well sell them on the markeboard

ripe hound
#

You can also do other stuff that don't lock you in as long, like Eden farming for gear

whole wasp
#

Sell on the marketboard

#

Not to vendors. Just to clarify

ripe hound
#

@bronze narwhal it's impossible, you just have to finish the whole round

#

Which only takes around 60-120min!

bronze narwhal
#

Fuck

ripe hound
#

Yup

#

If you quit it's a 30 min penalty

bronze narwhal
#

Hmm

random hollow
#

is there a way to autosync to fates?

latent sluice
#

when you do Frontline PvP, is your team always your current GC?

vivid thorn
#

so I should be doing Eden farming once I unlock the whole sequence

#

or expert roulette

little swift
#

thats up to you

#

eden normal will give i480 gear

#

your tomesstones are capped

#

spamming roulettes won't get you a large amount of tomestones

ripe hound
#

Is there a way to add someone on another world as a friend?

#

Same datacenter

#

Player search seems to only give people on my world

little swift
#

go world visit to their world

ripe hound
#

Oh I can just go to that world and player search

#

Nice

#

lol

little swift
#

and then playersearch if they're online

silent pike
#

speaking of roulettes and tomestones, what's the quickest way to get tomestones of poetics

ripe hound
#

Roulette / Hunt Trains

little swift
#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
silent pike
#

ty

ripe hound
#

Also you need to be lv 80 to hunt train

granite swan
#

@random hollow You can make a macro you can hotkey for it

little swift
#

you can do centurio trains as well

#

those are fine if you're lv70

granite swan
#

@random hollow if you want, just make a macro with /levelsync on

lone cloud
#

Does anyone know If there’s somewhere you can search for people to do dungeons with? I’ve been in duty finder for almost half an hour now lol I think it’s because it’s an end story dungeon and not many people run it :p

granite swan
#

Its still part of roulettes >.> but could also be your timezone

inland umbra
#

If I join a FC on one character, does it give me the FC on all characters or only that one?

jade quartz
#

One character

pine phoenix
#

newish to tanking, does interject/lowblow have much use past manor dungeon or adds? its seems really fun but very situational and off the top of my head (just started ShB without tanking before so i wasn't paying that much attention to it) I don't remember too many encounters being interjectable

slate arrow
#

interject will be used in place of low blow later on due to unstunable bosses

#

low blow is only used for low level content

whole wasp
#

lowblow will still be useful for dungeon content

slate arrow
#

*and troublesome adds, sometimes

pine phoenix
#

mm, so they just kind of forgot about interject between manor and like, late/post Shadowbringers?

faint flare
#

It shows up now and then

#

Its basically silence as thats what it was before

#

But with a very visual tell now

#

On what can and cant be interuptted

jade quartz
#

It appears in stuff like savage raids more often

slate arrow
#

It was added with shadowbringers along with a silence rework

#

!faq interrupt

zinc orbitBOT
#
Interrupt
jade quartz
#

But you won’t be doing those in your leveling process

pine phoenix
#

ooooh it was changed/new, that makes a lot more sense

tulip plover
#

Is ff 14 in the 12 universe

slate arrow
#

no

jade quartz
#

No

tulip plover
#

Awww

jade quartz
#

But there are extensive references and unique versions of FF12 things for this game’s separate world

#

Which resemble the FF12 versions very closely.

heady bramble
#

What’s the recommended level to start trying out extreme dungeons?

#

My quest logs starting to fill up :/

granite swan
#

either wait till 80 and solo em or que them whenever :p

little swift
#

just know that unless you're on JP server, queuing them through duty finder may not always yield the best results

latent sluice
#

not sure how interrupt was changed, myself. I saw the patch notes, but I'm not sure what "gauge" it's talking about. Unless it's referring to the normal cast bar enemies have?

little swift
#

the target castbar

#

like shown in the image

#

the example shows, "the rams voice"

#

being cast and you can see it flashing

latent sluice
#

yeah, that's what gets me. That bar has always been there

little swift
#

it was added for visual clarity

#

the cast bar itself has always existed

#

but the glowing aura was added

latent sluice
#

ooooh, the small outline?

little swift
#

yes

#

if you target yourself as a caster and cast something

#

you'll notice your own cast bar doesn't do that

#

its like a pulsing outline

proud willow
#

@heady bramble People are down to help with unsynced Extreme fights 24/7, because we get rewards for helping with them. So you can always put up a party in Party Finder to get a hand

heady bramble
#

ohhhh

#

Cool cool I might try it out

latent sluice
#

oh, alright. I'll have to keep a lookout for it next time I'm in a dungeon

ripe hound
#

It isn't hard to get people to help me do unsynced bahamut?

little swift
#

nope

ripe hound
#

Right

#

Yeah, Bahamut is easy enough that if you have 8 people unsynced you can pretty much steamroll it even if half of your party know nothing right?

#

Since the power creed from 50 to 80 is way too big

little swift
#

its doable solo

proud willow
#

a single lv 80 of almost any class can solo most/all Bahamut fights

ripe hound
#

Oh nice

little swift
#

you don't even need to know the mechanics

ripe hound
#

Maybe I should try it myself lol

#

I never completed Twintania

#

Tried it since 2.x

#

Failed horribly

halcyon glen
#

not knowing mechanics you say? t9 intensifies

ripe hound
#

What's in t9?

little swift
#

t9 is nael

ripe hound
#

Can you solo that?

little swift
#

it can be rough but its doable

ripe hound
#

But 8 lv 80 should be able to steamroll it without guides?

little swift
#

for sure

earnest imp
#

Not to be that guy but could anyone spare some lvl 70 fishing armor 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

ripe hound
#

I think it's yellow gatherer script / market board / Eulmore or Foundation sells them

little swift
#

grab the landking set for yellow scrips

earnest imp
#

What exactly does that mean?

noble sage
#

hey out of curiosity, what would you guys ballpark is the amount of time needed to complete arr and post arr if you read all the MSQ

faint flare
#

A test was done and it averaged around 40ish hours with reading and watching cutscenes

#

And purposely going slow

little swift
#

about 4 days total of playtime

#

is reasonable for really slow

ripe hound
#

Wait you mean playing for 4 days or do you mean 100 hours of playtime?

ionic patio
#

If I make an item for Ishgard restoration, but it's not high enough collectability, do I just discard it or something?

faint flare
#

Discard

#

Its useless

noble sage
#

so 40 hours going slow and reading and watching everything? is that just for ARR or does that include post?

faint flare
#

All arr including the required crystal tower and hard mode primals

#

Basically everything needed to get to heavensward

noble sage
#

good to know thank you 😄

random hollow
#

Free trial cant get all yokai

#

weapon right?

midnight sable
#

Does anyone know how you start the a time to every purpose I’m stuck

slate arrow
#

you can

tawdry turtle
#

does crit have any rhyme or reason to it? or is it just "stack this to crit more don't ask me how it works"?

slate arrow
#

crit increases rate and damage

#

so really you do want to max it out since it brings the biggest DPS gain

tawdry turtle
#

but there's no way to figure what your effective crit chance is?

ripe hound
#

Wait does Eden Normal give you 490 weapons!?

slate arrow
#

no

sturdy mason
#

What's the best dungeon to get me through level 70 to 71?

slate arrow
#

@sturdy mason the level 69 one

random hollow
#

some of the weapons say sotmblood or heavensward

midnight sable
#

Ok well if anyone knows lmk cause I’m lost

sturdy mason
#

I mean, I'm level 70 now, and Ghimlyt Dark ain't doing it for me

random hollow
#

can those be gotten in free trial?

ripe hound
#

Wait I thought effective crit rate is just this chart?
http://allaganstudies.akhmorning.com/stats/crit/

slate arrow
#

@random hollow not the stormblood ones

tawdry turtle
#

free trial lets you play up through heavensward

slate arrow
#

@ripe hound eden normal does not gives you 490 weapons

#

e8n gives you tokens which let you buy 490 weapons

ripe hound
#

Oh nice

slate arrow
#

but you still need a decent sum of allegory to buy a weapon

ripe hound
#

Oh you still need Allegory

#

Then sad

#

Yeah, 1k allegory

proud willow
#

@sturdy mason level 70 dungeons won't give nearly as much XP as the level 69 dungeon

brave fern
#

Hey guys, just a quick question about Summoner. I'm currently in 2.5 content so I only have Ruin 1 and 2, which one should I be using for optimal dps? Or does it not matter too much atm?

slate arrow
#

ruin 1

#

ruin 2 is used for weaving and movement

#

later on, you'll get a trait which allows you to use stacks of ruin 4 in place of ruin 2

#

while ruin 1 gets upgraded to ruin 3

brave fern
#

Ahh coolio, ty for that

ripe hound
#

I was like WTF is Ruin 4?
Then I remember I was playing SCH lol

earnest imp
#

Why can’t I use the scrip people in eulmore?

slate arrow
#

have you unlocked the collectible system in ishgard

ripe hound
#

You need a sidequest I think

earnest imp
#

Yes, I literally just got it and started collecting fish. I can turn them in at Mor Dhona

slate arrow
#

!faq collectibles

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

No tag named collectibles exists, Kupo!

slate arrow
#

tl;dr go to iddlyshire, bluequest , rhalgrs reach, bluequest , then eulmore, bluequest

earnest imp
#

Uhhhh so hardddd

#

All this for fucking fishing armor

#

There’s nothing in idllyshire

leaden ginkgo
strange coral
#

About 23,27

leaden ginkgo
#

Ty

wooden ginkgo
#

when do you get actually challenging content

leaden ginkgo
#

Everything is easy until ultimate weapon ultimate

#

Honestly challenging is subjective

wooden ginkgo
#

yeah :/

slate arrow
#

have you tried synced extreme, savage, or ultimate content yet

wooden ginkgo
#

no

#

i just got to level 30 lol

slate arrow
#

Maybe get to endgame first before you start complaining

leaden ginkgo
#

My honest answer?

#

The vault

wooden ginkgo
#

no i was just saying when it starts

#

im just curious

leaden ginkgo
#

See my 'challenging is subjective'

#

Things only stop being EXTREMELY faceroll at the vault

#

and even then it's easy for me

wooden ginkgo
#

oooh

leaden ginkgo
#

But i'm an MMO vet

#

So if I can't do dungeons after a decade of MMOs then yeahhh

#

I'm looking to start savage raiding by 5.35 and I started playing 2 months ago

#

But yeah, level 30 is really no indication as some classes aren't classes until 50+

#

and you only just got your job crystal

wooden ginkgo
#

yeah :D

#

im really excited though

leaden ginkgo
#

This game will challenge you

#

No doubt

#

Just enjoy the ride

#

till then

wooden ginkgo
#

i will :)

ripe hound
#

But anyway, you first get challenging content at lv 50, but it's often hard to find people to do it with you

#

Since it's really old content

slate arrow
#

don't use duty finder for extremes and savages

wooden ginkgo
#

will i get grouped with terrible people lol

candid walrus
#

I have a question about Fantasia. if I were to use one, does it keep my current character settings in the creature or does it treat it as if I was making a new character? I want to tweak some of my character's appearance without remaking them and I have 2 Fantasia I'll likely never use

slate arrow
#

you'll most likely just get a whole lot of pissed off mentors

leaden ginkgo
#

I have half a static good to go, one of them being an ultimate raider

wooden ginkgo
#

ooh D:

leaden ginkgo
#

I've loads of raiding experience from WoW

#

So i'm confident I can undertake savage

#

Just need to slog through the MSQ and gear up

ripe hound
#

@candid walrus You can save your character settings on the main menu

wooden ginkgo
#

how hard are savage raids?

#

i hear about them alot

leaden ginkgo
#

They're probably the hardest content most players will ever play

jade quartz
#

Uh

leaden ginkgo
#

Ultimate difficulty is for the big dick full time raiders

ripe hound
#

Which savage guide barely have any spoilers?

#

E4S?

jade quartz
#

Several orders of magnitude harder than any other content in the game

#

But several orders of magnitude easier than ultimate

ripe hound
#

Barely any spoilers I think

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm not kidding myself, I don't think i'll ever clear ultimate

#

But I feel I can do savage

ripe hound
#

But yeah that's about what savage looks like

slate arrow
#

you can do ultimate given enough time and people

jade quartz
#

Ultimate is typically 100+ hours of progression

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah it's just, do I want to dedicate that much time to an MMO

#

Real talk

#

I have shit to do

#

I'll be happy with savage

slate arrow
#

i mean, people are still progging e8s to this day so

#

and I wish I was kidding

leaden ginkgo
#

I have an ultimate raider mentor so, should be good

#

Looking forward to it ^.^

slate arrow
#

i have a friend who's been grinding e8s since the first week and PF continues to fail them

wooden ginkgo
#

wow they're that hard?

#

oh D:

ripe hound
#

Wait wut? I mean e8s is recent content right? Of course there are people progging?

wooden ginkgo
#

sounds thrilling though

ripe hound
#

Oh you mean people who started when E8S released?

leaden ginkgo
#

You don't have to clear the most difficult content to have fun, rn now i'm doing deliveries for zhloe

slate arrow
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

this game has a lot of content

#

Ishgard restoration is keeping me busy

ripe hound
#

But yeah, Savage seems hard

jade quartz
#

E8S has been out for over six months now

ripe hound
#

The only savage I did was o1s

slate arrow
#

light rampant is the PUG killer

ripe hound
#

And while attemping o2s I quit the game

leaden ginkgo
#

I need to sit down and light farm some night

#

efforrrrttt

jade quartz
#

Everyone who was progging it from the start should have cleared it

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm on the complete anima step for DRK and AST

ripe hound
#

I probably should get a static if I want to prog

leaden ginkgo
#

sure as hell helps

#

If WoW is anything to go off

ripe hound
#

I mean maybe 2 hours a week for 6 month...?

slate arrow
#

you don't have to grind for that long

ripe hound
#

If it's PF it's understandable...?

slate arrow
#

especially since lockouts have been lifted

leaden ginkgo
#

Savage is just beyond some people

#

If you don't think you've done anything wrong or have no room for improvement good luck

slate arrow
#

They're not a bad player by any means since they've cleared e5s-e7s

leaden ginkgo
#

You can always squeeze out better performance

slate arrow
#

it's just e8s is absolute murder

ripe hound
#

But yeah, how hard is WoW's hard content?
2B can you show me a guide for a content or something?

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh I was talking in general

ripe hound
#

I just wanted to see

leaden ginkgo
#

Not that person

#

It's hard to guage the difficult of an MMO without playing it honestly

#

and a good portion of the difficulty is coordinating dickheads

#

Look up heroic and mythic raiding in wow if you must ig

#

I forgot what fish zhloe wants, oops

#

Fairie something

#

Coerthas western

ripe hound
#

Yeah, what's current WoW content? 8.3?

severe tusk
#

So I just hit my first 80 on summoner. I killed the first big baddy in shadowbringer. Im interested in Leveling another class to soak up the quest xp for the rest of shadow. What's fun?

leaden ginkgo
#

Fuck knows, I stopped playing in legion when my off tank quit

#

Haven't played since

#

DNC is very fun

ripe hound
#

lol

leaden ginkgo
#

Quite simple

#

But very fun

ripe hound
#

But yeah I'm getting off track now

slate arrow
#

@severe tusk do you mean the level 80 baddy or the level 74 baddy

manic flare
#

do u get to use your own minions in the verminion game?

slate arrow
#

@manic flare yes

ripe hound
#

I think Lv 74 baddy because they still wants more exp

severe tusk
#

I'm level 80. The first light monster thing. So I have night now

slate arrow
#

@severe tusk oh you mean the first dungeon

ripe hound
#

Oh that's lv 71 baddy

slate arrow
#

well, fastest way is to level Dancer or Gunbreaker to level 71

#

you can't get MSQ EXP otherwise

ripe hound
#

Yeah, you might want to try Gunbreaker, leveling to 71 should be quick

leaden ginkgo
#

my tank tier list; DRK > GNB > PLD >>>>>> WAR

ripe hound
#

You should keep doing some MSQ in the mean time

severe tusk
#

I'd feel weird Tanking when I dont know the dungeons very well

#

Is war that bad?

slate arrow
#

then dancer i guess

#

no

ripe hound
#

Don't worry, tanking is easy

slate arrow
#

tanks is personal preference at this point

faint flare
#

Dungeons are straight lines

ripe hound
#

Just Tank Stance -> Mitigation -> Aoe -> Aoe

faint flare
#

Post arr

granite swan
#

War would start at lv 1 tho

ripe hound
#

But yeah, we recommend GNB because it starts at lv 60

slate arrow
#

reason why I recommended Dancer or Gunbreaker is beacuse they start at 60

leaden ginkgo
#

imo, WAR and PLD do not feel as well designed as DRK or GNB

granite swan
#

GNB way to squishy ;p

faint flare
#

Only bad ones

leaden ginkgo
#

^

#

Brutal shell mitigates a good amount

#

29?

#

LOL

ripe hound
#

And Dancer will take significantly more time to get to Lv 70 than Tank because tank qeues faster

leaden ginkgo
#

Have you ever seen a score so low

#

jfc

granite swan
#

"only bad ones" thats like ... 99% of em

#

HoH 60-70, boom ;p

severe tusk
#

I suppose I'll tonk. Hey I'll be in the 99%!

faint flare
ripe hound
#

Yeah don't worry we all accidentally complete stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm a tank main

#

Tanking is fucking easy

#

Healer is way harder

ripe hound
#

Or is that gathering?

leaden ginkgo
#

Fishing

slate arrow
#

gathering

ripe hound
#

Cool, never tried fishing

leaden ginkgo
#

Fishing for Zhloe's custom deliveries before reset

#

I love gathering in this game

#

Super fun

#

Puts all other MMOs gathering and crafting to shame

#

By a very large margin

ripe hound
#

But yeah, to be honest is GNB much less tanky in dungeons?

severe tusk
#

Isn't gathering just walking in circles and clicking on trees >>

granite swan
#

Healer is waaaay more stressful >.>

leaden ginkgo
#

I don't feel less squishy than any other class?

slate arrow
#

@ripe hound not really

ripe hound
#

I only have lv 80 GNB so I'm not quite sure how to compare

leaden ginkgo
#

DRK feels the most unkillable tho

#

TBN + Shadow wall

#

💦

ripe hound
#

Yeah, I'm also healer main, I don't think I really notice what class my tank is

leaden ginkgo
#

Playing AST is the is the most difficult thing i've experienced so far

slate arrow
#

Their defensive cooldowns are slightly weaker than the others, but not substancially so

ripe hound
#

Also as an AST main, when I switch to SCH my brain just stops

leaden ginkgo
#

healing, DPSing, card management, etc

#

Stressful

ripe hound
#

Like, there are two "button 1" attacks!

#

What is this hearsay!

granite swan
#

Every GNB i had to heal doing 70+ Dungeons was pretty much do nothing but spam cure 2, cuz they didnt know half their kit

slate arrow
#

and by slightly, I mean their 25sec CD is only like 15% instead of 25%

leaden ginkgo
#

laughs in malefic

severe tusk
#

Lol any time I see someone talk about dark its only ever the blackest knight. I tried the level 30 quest and it felt clunky

slate arrow
#

@ripe hound one's a regular cast which does more damage, other is instant cast which is basically free movement

faint flare
#

tbn pretty much completes the job

jade quartz
#

TBN really is that good

leaden ginkgo
#

I think the self healing and barrier from your single target rotation balances out the reduction in raw DR

ripe hound
#

Yeah, my brain just can't get into SCH yet

slate arrow
#

@severe tusk unforuntaely, DRK isn't well designed until you hit 80

leaden ginkgo
#

TBN is the best ability in the game, fight me

slate arrow
#

below 70, you're absolutely the squishiest tank of all 4

ripe hound
#

Meanwhile I felt AST is quite easy, because the card system and heal system and dps system are completely seperated

slate arrow
#

above 70, you have infinite power

severe tusk
#

so if youre not doing endgame content its moot.

leaden ginkgo
#

I never had an issue levelling DRK but my fuck your STOP TRYING TO HIT ME AND HIT ME goes up 400000% post 70

ripe hound
#

So you are pretty much always DPSing with everything your got, while throwing some healing and cards in

#

Right

leaden ginkgo
#

I've not played SCH yet

#

It's on my list

ripe hound
#

DRK is really like Face Mcshotty I think

leaden ginkgo
#

Right, stop distracting me, ive shit to do before reset xD

ripe hound
severe tusk
#

Lol

ripe hound
#

SHOOT ME IN MY FACE!

leaden ginkgo
#

When I have TBN + Shadow wall up I feel like you could drop dalamut on me

#

and i'd be like

severe tusk
#

Sametho

leaden ginkgo
#

heh that tickles

ripe hound
#

Yeah

#

What's Shadowwall? is it a standard mitigation?

jade quartz
#

Yeah

ripe hound
#

Nice

jade quartz
#

!action shadow wall

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Shadow Wall** : lvl 38 DRK (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces damage taken by 30%.

leaden ginkgo
#

But pair it with this

#

GGWP

ripe hound
#

TBN is DRK's short CD Mitigation right?

faint flare
#

Yes

jade quartz
#

Equivalent in the kit of like, sheltron

slate arrow
#

shortest CD of the 4, but costs 3000 MP each time

leaden ginkgo
#

You can also put it on any target

#

👌

ripe hound
#

And it's much shorter than other classes but cost mp

#

Nice

leaden ginkgo
#

it's also a shield

#

So you can ignore mechanics

ripe hound
#

Is it an oGCD shield? I mean can it stack with other GCD shields?

faint flare
#

Yes

jade quartz
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

One moment

ripe hound
#

Nice

faint flare
#

TBN has priority

#

On breaking

slate arrow
#

Shelltron is technically shorter but it eats 50 PLD gauge every time so you need like 30 seconds of auto attacks to get a charge

faint flare
#

Out of every shield

ripe hound
#

Nicer

leaden ginkgo
vital ruin

Does shb extreme drop dragon mounts

slate arrow

yes

faint flare

Yes

slate arrow

except for memoria

Ooh

What's the 7th dragon mount
Like Kirin

faint flare
#

There isnt one

Not yet released

Because we don't have 7 extremes yet

I regret not getting ixion during tombstones of law event

ripe hound

How do I use Celestial Intersection as AST? On CD?

vital ruin
#

What's nightmare and red dragon mount drop rate

faint flare
#

Tbat give mounts for Shadowbringers

vital ruin
#

I c

leaden ginkgo
#

Fuck it and odin are aaaaaaaa

ripe hound
#

Like I think it's a really short CD

leaden ginkgo
#

Nightmare is 5% right?

faint flare
#

Intersection is just a free heal

#

Use liberally

vital ruin
#

5% isn't too bad ig

leaden ginkgo
#

Use all your ogcds liberally

#

Liberal af

#

even your immunity

ripe hound
#

I don't need to save the Intersection Shield for situations I need shields right?

leaden ginkgo
#

don't 'save' abilities

#

you'll never use them

ripe hound
#

Just use it on CD

faint flare
#

It heals and shields

slate arrow
#

!action Celestial Intersection

jade quartz
#

Well don’t use it when everyone’s full

faint flare
#

You can treat it like Bension but with a heal on it

ripe hound
#

lol

slate arrow
#

oh yeah just use it on cooldown basically

ripe hound
#

Yeah I think I'll just use it as a oGCD heal

leaden ginkgo
#

Instructions unclear, bene the full hp tank

vital ruin
#

Does the macro for sheathed glowy weapons still work

leaden ginkgo
#

yes

slate arrow
#

yes

I just often find myself holding it for like 120 seconds

Yep

I'll try

/autowalk

ripe hound
#

Yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

People 'save' abilities and then never use them

#

fuck it, use your whole kit

#

even on trash pulls

#

use everything

#

use invul on trash pulls

#

fuck it

slate arrow
#

Temperance is so nice during big add pulls aeroSip

faint flare
#

You're meant to be using everything for trash anyway

#

Hits harder than bosses

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah but people think trash is weaker than a boss

#

that's the mental picture they have generally

#

so you have to extra drill it into them

ripe hound
#

But yeah, I'm thinking about for stuff like SoSex.
SoSex's boss have auto attack right?

faint flare
#

Vote to rename trash

ripe hound
#

Hordes!

faint flare
#

Every boss autos

jade quartz
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

HORDES

faint flare
#

Well 99.9% do

ripe hound
#

Yeah, I just often feel like my tank rarely take damage

faint flare
#

Usually regens/fairy covers autos

vocal shell
#

You can use celestial intersection to avoid clipping a gcd

#

i generally use it with combust

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah, I just often feel like my tank rarely take damage
@ripe hound What level have you played up till

kind geyser
#

any tips for a new player?

faint flare
#

!faq newplayertips

zinc orbitBOT
ripe hound
#

Lv 80 extreme

leaden ginkgo
#

Either that or your tanks are doing little bitch pulls

#

or are good

#

either or

vocal shell
#

@ripe hound since combust lasts 30s and CI is 30s

ripe hound
#

Yeah, it's just that all the AOE healing seems like it already covers the damage tanks take

vocal shell
#

I generally end up using it on cd

leaden ginkgo
#

Man i'm hungry

vocal shell
#

to not clip a gcd while i refresh my dot

ripe hound
#

Or maybe I'm just over burdening my co-healer without noticing

#

Yeah, I should try to see if I can sync it up

#

But generally you can't clip as AST right?

#

I mean AST is designed to GCD -> oGCD -> GCD -> oGCD

#

Except those instant casts

vocal shell
#

I refresh my dot after a malefic

mental garnet
#

are white gatherers scrips generally less valuable than white crafters scrips?

slate arrow
#

depends on what you're buying and selling

mental garnet
#

whatever's the best for gil, i suppose

vital ruin
#

o that autorun command doesn't work on macro
It's
/bm
/sit for now

young fjord
#

That macro is to glich weapon effects

vital ruin
#

Ya

young fjord
#

bm = battle mode
sit to interrupt the arming annimation

#

Note however, only people in the zone when you do it can see it

#

Say you stand in limsa, you do it, when someone teleports in they wont see it

vital ruin

I c
Did not know that

quiet wing

whats the button to walk slowly instead of always running

cerulean snow
#

Hey so i just hit lvl 80 with my warrior and i was hopeing some one could recomend exsactly what materia i should be putting in my neo ishgardian set that ive bought

#

all the online recomendations seem to be from previous patches and the like

slate arrow
#

sks to 5 GCDs in 10 seconds > crit > det > tenacity

halcyon glen
#

Anything from 5.2 is still valid

cerulean snow
#

cool thank you very much

peak root
#

do we know if there is a patch tonight?

halcyon glen
#

There shouldn’t be

faint flare
#

Patches are announced in advanced

vital ruin
#

If I get an anima weapon for summoner
Can I get the weapon for other jobs too

faint flare
#

Watch the Lodestone

#

Yes

vital ruin
#

o I c

faint flare
#

You can get them all, if you hate yourself enough

vital ruin
#

Not enough
So a few weapons ig

slate arrow
#

If you really hate yourself, try grinding a few zeta weapons

#

You'll be begging for mercy after one

vital ruin
#

I'm trying to get that i270 weapon is that zeta

jade quartz
#

That's Anima (Lux)

faint flare
#

No zeta is lv50

vital ruin
#

o no fuck zeta

faint flare
#

50 - zeta
60 - anima
70 - eureka
80- Resistance

vital ruin
#

o I c

#

Which is the easiest among them I'm going purely for glamour

#

Less time consuming

faint flare
#

Well techincally resistance since its not done yet....

#

But Anima probably since its like 95% poetic farn

slate arrow
#

anima is the easiest

vital ruin
#

Anima it is

slate arrow
#

zeta is just grindy as shit

#

Eureka the hard grind is the first one

vital ruin
#

I remember doing zeta
I hated it

faint flare
#

Eureka has the tedium of levelling inside eureka but after that its not too bad, getting crystals and stuff is snoozefest but gets you tons of poetics in the meantime

vale hedge
vital ruin
#

Is there anyway to play orchastrion scroll while I'm travelling and stuff
Like how the mounts play them but without the mounts

warped nest
#

Personal opinion, Anima weapons looks pretty good

Nope

vital ruin
#

Personal opinion, Anima weapons looks pretty good
@warped nest
I agree

outer plank
#

that sounds like a pretty good qol thing, letting us play orchestrations in the overworld though @warped nest

warped nest
#

It is

#

Maybe it is in the pipeline

#

Who knows

slate arrow
#

The answer to the question is "no until we get more server resources" since the way orchestrron rolls are played is basically having a constant serverside check going to the client

#

and there's already a lot of client/server checks happening per second

#

at least, that's what I've heard

ripe hound
#

To be honest I kind of hope you can play personal Orchestron

#

Like a mp3 or something

#

Just play a music for yourself

slate arrow
#

That's called spotify

ripe hound
#

Yeah

#

Something like that

#

Is tanking significantly harder than other classes in Eden Normal?

#

I'm thinking about farming Eden as Tank to practice

remote lintel
#

no

slate arrow
#

No

faint flare
#

No, its pretty braindead

ripe hound
#

Usually I'm allowed mess up a thing or two and the party won't wipe right?

remote lintel
#

theres 2 tanks

faint flare
#

^

ripe hound
#

Cool

faint flare
#

If people get hit by stuff its their fault 99% of the time

ripe hound
#

I'm just worried I'll aim stuff at the team

remote lintel
#

you wont

ripe hound
#

Like PUPPET BUNKER LAZER BEAM!

faint flare
#

There's like 1 cleave in 7

remote lintel
#

just turn the boss around

faint flare
#

Which is the buster

#

And you just move to the side

#

No other cleaves

remote lintel
#

move to whichever side is opposite the team

umbral citrus
#

hi, any tips on hwo to get wolfmarks? cause i never manage to find any pvp goin on the frontline roulate, my longest waiting i tried is 64 min.....

ripe hound
#

kk

slate arrow
#

@umbral citrus play pvp

faint flare
#

Well 2 actually, Ifirits instant incineration cleaves but yeah, big red circle on you is obvious

slate arrow
#

there's no way around it unfortunately

#

best way is to queue during active hours

umbral citrus
#

do people really not do pvp or there is something wrong with my pvp duty finder xD

slate arrow
#

since the world is slowly starting back up (even though it shouldn't) it means late nights are no longer a good time to queue for pvp roulette

faint flare
#

Its not popular

slate arrow
#

especially since frontline requires 72 players a match

ripe hound
#

Yeah, usually Frontline should at least be able to get some people...

faint flare
#

There's not much reason to do it outside of cosmetics

#

And achievements

umbral citrus
#

especially since frontline requires 72 players a match
@slate arrow ah , this is probably why

ripe hound
#

I know there was a time in 4.x where frontline gave crazy exp

#

To be honest I kind of liked it

#

Since pvp was quite some casual fun

slate arrow
#

and then the bots struck

umbral citrus
#

There's not much reason to do it outside of cosmetics
@faint flare exactly my reason, some coollooking armour i want is from wolfmarks T.T

ripe hound
#

Yeah

#

Then bots became an issue

slate arrow
#

Can someone link the revival wings discord here? They're a pretty good place to get some pvp in on the weekends for a relatively quiet game mode

remote lintel
#

isnt it like 1 pm in japan

#

no?

ripe hound
#

Yeah he's in Japan

slate arrow
#

erwin is JP

ripe hound
#

I just noticed

#

Then weird.

slate arrow
#

are you queueing for all languages

#

or just eng

ripe hound
#

Oh yeah don't queue for all lanugages

slate arrow
#

that will also impact your queue times

remote lintel
#

no

#

you should have jp enabled

#

as well as eng

#

also it's off hours

ripe hound
#

Yeah maybe JP and EN

slate arrow
#

1pm a lot of people in JP are still working

warped nest
#

It's 2pm in JP

#

Don't expect more players until it is 9pm+

umbral citrus
#

i play on jp server, but not japanese

#

hahaha

#

from a small country near jp

#

also on free trial still, so i cant queue anythign other than eng

ripe hound
#

Hun?

remote lintel
#

free trial doesn't matter

ripe hound
#

I thought you can select multiple language in free trail?

umbral citrus
#

cant sadly T.T

remote lintel
#

open duty finder and click the cog at the top

umbral citrus
#

yep tried

signal garnet
#

how do I get the Yama Hakama of Striking?

remote lintel
#

eagles reach

ripe hound
#

Hmmm. does poetics work?

remote lintel
#

rhalgrs

umbral citrus
#

anyway, thanks for the talk, i will jsut give up the armour for now, and focus on other first and revisit when pvp is popular again

signal garnet
#

Do I use poetics for them?

remote lintel
#

yes

little swift
#

how do I get the Yama Hakama of Striking?
@signal garnet yama hakama is an upgrade of the rakshasa crafted set iirc

remote lintel
#

I can't see if you still trade tokens for them

little swift
#

probably? i don't think they removed teh npc

signal garnet
#

lookin rn

gentle leaf
#

my client is stuck like this, is there a way to troubleshoot it or w hatever?

#

it does this even if i restart it

signal garnet
#

I can find the dai-ryumaku and scaven but no Yama Hakama

remote lintel
#

it's on the opposite side

#

also

#

the rakshasa hakama of striking has the same model

little swift
#

npc is j'tandhaa

remote lintel
#

amd you can buy it on the mb iirc

little swift
#

or make it yourself

remote lintel
#

@gentle leaf did you update internet explorer

gentle leaf
#

i havent unless it did in the background

#

do i need to update it?

remote lintel
#

the launcher uses it

gentle leaf
#

it worked fine until today

#

i'll try that

ripe hound
#

I got all my crafters to lv 40 and I need a set of lv 40-ish gear

#

Is it viable to make it myself?

#

First time crafting

warped nest
#

Yes

gentle leaf
#

@remote lintel that worked

earnest imp
#

Why does spear fishing suck so much

gentle leaf
#

ty

outer plank
#

@earnest imp what do you mean?

ripe hound
#

Cool

outer plank
#

its like the 2 other gathering methods

earnest imp
#

It’s so shitty compared to normal fishing. “The fish got away” happens every other gig attempt

ionic patio
#

how often do you think I should craft new gear for crafters/gatherers? every 10 levels? maybe 5?

outer plank
#

are you using the right gig? and you gathering set up to date?

#

@ionic patio do it in 10

#

then level in 10

#

delete old equipment

#

sell*

earnest imp
#

Nah gathering set is lower than it needs to be but that’s why I’m spear fishing for little Bismarck and bothriolepis

#

Need them scrips because I’m broke as fuck

outer plank
#

why not just do trade ins?

#

reset is in a few hours

earnest imp
#

Collectible trade ins?

#

Because that’s exactly what I’m doing

outer plank
#

no, the npc trade ins like zhole and whats her face

#

they give plenty of scrips

gentle leaf
#

isiah means custom deliveries

outer plank
#

^

#

yes im stupid i couldnt remember the name

earnest imp
#

Custom deliveries require me to catch those fish and I don’t have the bait for it yet

gentle leaf
#

i personally would recommend doing scrips on the other 2 gatherers

outer plank
#

^

earnest imp
#

They’re wayyyyyyy to low...

#

My bot is like lvl 8 and miner is level 17

#

Fisher is 76

gentle leaf
#

that sucks

outer plank
#

yikes, fishing is kind of not really a priority imo. since like 8 crafters basically rely on mining and botanist

gentle leaf
#

unless youre doing it for the fun of it, yeah

earnest imp
#

Cul is the only crafter I truly use though.

gentle leaf
#

cul uses a lot of btn

earnest imp
#

And with me being a Sam main almost all the food the sam uses requires fish

outer plank
#

alchemy could be usful and also what she said

gentle leaf
#

and even mining

#

even if youre exclusively cooking youd want all 3

#

herring pie for example uses two mining nodes

outer plank
#

well were not here to badger you about it. do as you feel but i would take the time to just level them because they are alot easier to do so

#

fishing is the worst

gentle leaf
#

yeah we wont disagree

#

but its just genuine advice

#

if you want to scrip farm youre much better off getting the other 2 up to speed

#

and you will need them to cook

earnest imp
#

Fisher was actually super easy compared to the other 2 imo... Fisher also has the boat that gives massive exp for 25 minutes of your time

gentle leaf
#

i think its faster too

unreal aspen
#

is there a good way to know if i can play a class well enough to go into dungeons with it if i lvl boosted?

outer plank
#

that boat only comes around every 3 hours i think? i could get the same amount of exp doing botany/mining from level quests

#

around my range

unreal aspen
#

like on bard i understand the rotation and the gist of the opener but i tend to flub the opener a lot

outer plank
#

@unreal aspen dungeons are all push overs tbh

warped nest
#

Practice on striking dummies

outer plank
#

you wont have to worry about that to much

gentle leaf
#

sofi when i do when i boost is just grind on the dummy

outer plank
#

but practice makes perfect

gentle leaf
#

what i do*

unreal aspen
#

yeah i did that too but with the other class i boosted i grinded on lvl 70 so much it was hard to adjust to the lvl 80 rotation

gentle leaf
#

you wont have to worry about that with bard

unreal aspen
#

oh thank god LOL

#

smn changed so much

gentle leaf
#

smn is like the exception

#

most classes from 70 to 80 keep the idea

#

but add to it

#

with brd you'll be doing the same thing for the most part

outer plank
#

70 to 80 is like that because thats 10 levels from the cap

#

they will either make things into traits

#

or skill prune

#

when we get to 90

#

it was the same in sb and hw

#

smn in general is just pretty difficult to play

#

because its so micro manegy

unreal aspen
#

ahhh okay ty

gentle leaf
#

also, if you arent on balance discord i'd recommend joining it if you want to learn a class properly

#

their resources are very good

unreal aspen
#

o yeah I'm in it

gentle leaf
#

they have this neat little image for brd that shows the priority for things

#

if you know the opener and that image you should be fine for most content

umbral lance
#

what skills should I be using in the diadem? Just using King's Yield atm

little swift
#

whatever gives you more yield or gathering attempts are fine

hidden lotus
#

Hey do we have any idea when the next step of the lv80 relics are coming out? :x

not announced

vocal shell

You do a different quest for that

#

If you’re talking about the tome vendor, they’re in Kugane

Ohhhhh. Yeah. I was looking at 70 tomestone gear

#

Yeah they’re near the kugane aetheryte

Ah ok. Thanks anna

#

are there any "generally really good and/or helpful" macros?

#

i was wondering if having the white-mages quick-cast and resurrection on a macro is a good idea, so i would only have to press the button twice in a row...

or is there a downside to that?

warped nest
#

Yes

#

What happen is, skill performed with macro doesn't get queue

#

In normal circumstances, if you pressed a skill a tad too soon before the cooldown is ready the game will let it count

#

Can't be done with macro

#

Another issue is sometimes, because of how cooldown works, some skills don't activate if you press it right after you press a skill

#

After you press and activate A, there is a hidden timer internally that won't let anything go through

#

So you need to wait like 0.5s before you press B

#

That said

#

There are a handful skills that can macro. For white Mage, I am fairly sure that the only recommended macro is a macro to call out who you are gonna revive

#

Basically calling dibs and make other healer or Dps with rez spell to keep on with what they are doing

obsidian patio
#

For controller users you can use a macro that automatically places down ground-based aoes like Asylum and Sacred Soil on your target

warped nest
#

/party I will rez <t> <se.2>

#

T will automatically type out the name of your current target, which should be the party member you want to rez

obsidian patio
#

For tanks you can use a macro that uses shirk on the 2nd person on the party list, which is the other tank by default, for tank swaps.

warped nest
#

SE.2 plays a sound effect, specifically the 2nd one. You have a choice of 1 to 15 iirc

obsidian patio
#

A main TL;DR of if a macro is good is this:
Does it use a GCD skill?
Does it use multiple different skills?
If yes to either then it’s likely not a good macro.

warped nest
#

For macros that include actual skills, we recommend doing it with the following format, (Wynne can you type it out, I am on phone XD)

obsidian patio
#

/action “action name”

#

Unless you mean something else

warped nest
#

I mean repeating /action "Shirk" <2>

#

Multiple times

#

Referring to what I said about skill might not activate due to a hidden window

#

What people do with their macro is repeat the action line as many times as possible

#

To improve the chances it will fire off

#
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
... Repeat above as many time as the macro can fit
/merror off
/micon "Salted Earth"

flat ridge
#

well, i guess it doesnt work well. the quick-cast + rez would be nice, if it would work properly

#

if quick-cast is available
cast quick-cast + rex
if not cast rez

analog gate
#

it's better to input both skills manually, yes

flat ridge
#

but it doesnt seem to work fluently

analog gate
#

swiftcast has a delay before the game registers it, so if you try using rez the frame right after it probably won't work

flat ridge
#

would probably have to use third party macros, which i very highly assume aren't allowed

brisk gazelle
#

Does the FC MGP buff apply to the MGP you can get from completing the challenge log?

flat ridge
#

man... it would be awesome if FF XIV had the option to display the english names of skills or something, if you hover over them

#

it's an international server after all

#

just google what the spell is called? (not this one in specific. this is just an example)

leaden ginkgo
#

why not just set the whole game to english?

flat ridge
#

better language

warped nest
#

@flat ridge the lodestone has job guide with all the skill and ability names

#

And they come in different languages

#

Sorry, I cannot think of any better way

plain python
#

is there anything for Black Mage to use swiftcast for?

warped nest
#

Swiftcast a spell during movement is the big one

plain python
#

maybe Flare?

flat ridge
#

up to you

#

and up to the situation

plain python
#

how to proc Scathe with full damage? I never see it proc 🤔

warped nest
#

It proc itself iirc

#

!action Scathe

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Scathe** : lvl 15 THM BLM (800 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: 20% chance potency will double

flat ridge
#

i also use swift-cast for other spells than rez as a white mage. even though rez has 8seconds cast time

#

What are the best methods to level up?
I can imagine it also depends on role.

#

as a healer and tank i feel like just doing random missions seems like a good way to level up already

warped nest
#

Roulette (once per day for daily bonus): primarily Leveling, msq, Alliance Roulette. Trial and raid roulette are decent

flat ridge
#

since the queue-time is usually like 0-20 seconds

warped nest
#

Highest level dungeon: but not lvl 50/60/70 dungeons, those are the endgame dungeons for their respective expansion, so they are not as good for exp

flat ridge
#

always go for roulette, or rather pick the dungeons i want the most?

warped nest
#

Finally (below lvl 70), Palace of the Dead and Heavens on High: this is recommended for DPS, the cutoff point is around 15 minutes, so if your dungeon queue (above) is not longer than your potd/hoh by 15 min you should stick to dungeon

#

This is in order

#

Roulette > dungeon > potd/hoh

flat ridge
#

i also heard the palace of the dead is "the best leveling option" from a buddy. what do you think?

warped nest
#

Read what I said

#

To expand

#

Potd is usually recommended for DPS, because potd doesn't need standard party composition of 1 tank 1 healer 2 dps

#

Even a 4 DPS party can be match made, and should be able to clear, therefore, in general, DPS should be able to level faster here

#

however

flat ridge
#

roulette only once per day though? what after i did it?

warped nest
#

Dungeon

flat ridge
#

what does dungeon mean? why would i not just continue with roulette?

warped nest
#

If you are lvl 54, then queue and repeat the highest lvl dungeon you can get, which is lvl 53

#

Duty Roulette gives out daily bonus exp. In return for the lucrative bonus XP, you will be match made to a random content to help Out other players

granite swan
#

because roulette can put you in a lv 15 dungeon, instead of 53, xp is crap without the huge final bonus

flat ridge
#

is the "tank/healer (role bonus)" of roulettes worth it?

warped nest
#

Take note that the bonus will adjust itself to make it worthwhile, no matter what level dhngoen you get
