yes
thanks!
can i solo those elite marks? @proud willow
depends on your level
will there be more dungeons added to routtle: main scenario?
or only two ARR dungeons with full cutscene available to that routtele?
Likely only those two
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
Which server
Mateus
I am leveling my MNK which is 67
I...i have no idea
yeah its gone
Maybe try relogging?
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
Is it possible to solo farm lanners now?
When did you create the character?
its been 90 days from saturday
weird then
My Bard never gains any spirit bond
Is it because the lv 70 poetics gear can't be spirit bonded?
It can be. Hitting same level mobs dont gain spirit bond quickly.
does the support team usually send you a response?
Yes
through email or in-game?
Kk
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?
@gleaming mason the ones listed on elite marks are B ranks. You should be able to solo them
Yes. You can try putting in a support ticket.
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
Didnt support go back into full swing on the 9th or something?
Thank you I found them in there I was tripping out lmao

do you have to wear the alpine coat in the dinner with aymeric?
under what circumstances would using legacy camera actually help?
does it help dodge better?
Im just used to it. Also i like backpedalling at full speed.
makes jiggling for gaze mechanics a little more button heavy
but its fine either way
pressing S and blitzing away on DNC is so much nicer then having to swing the camera around
is there any way of selling items on other server markets?
also is there something I should know about selling items faster?
You can only sell on your server
fugg
red materia sells for so crappy on my server
it's the higher level one too vi and vii
Yeah those are easy to come by
VIII is the top grade
And still pretty easy to come by
You get one from roulette I think?
Without relevant crafted driving demand, aint much use for them too.
thanks a lot for the help @mental garnet and @proud willow, i got the elite mark thanks to you two
what's the point of the gauss round for machinist?
its an ogcd
you slam it in in between your main combo
and during hypercharge in between heat blasts
@whole wasp what would drive demand? like an expansion about to come out?
For example in patch 5.3
New raid tier
Neo ishgardian came out. White crafted gear that accepts overmeld
Wild fire is MCH's biggest damage up skill right?
Like you play everything around Wild Fire?
So people buy 6s and 7s to meld
Not really anymore
Or do you just use it as a oGCD cool down?
Oh, I see, it don't scale with damage anymore
Everything lines up pretty naturally on MCH
Just numbers of GCD you put in
Wildfire coincides with overheat window so you can cram the fast gcds in
Recommend just having a read through
Yeah I never really played MCH before. Mained Bard for quite a few expansions though
!faq mchguide
Yeah, I'm currently just reading the skills on job guide lol
No idea if I want to level this job yet
Can be a bit annoying if you have high ping
If that's what you are looking for
@whole wasp some of them seem to sell for like 10-75k even
guessing only the viii's sell for that much
@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
Cool, take care no reasons
we had to wait longer than expected, mostly due to the time at which we were playing the game
Yeah, generally you just do other stuff. And when you are lucky and a train pops you hop on
yeah
Since it's pretty random when do trains launch
it takes time to prepare, so it's understandable
they usually happen every 4-6 hours on each world
Yeah, generally the conductors launch trains as soon as the 16 bosses are collected
To make sure the next train fires sooner
Hey, so, what do I do with approved materials I get from the Diadem? Just sell them?
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
How to lose on mahjong, its been an hour 
@ionic patio you use them to craft stuff. If you aren't crafting, might as well sell them on the markeboard
You can also do other stuff that don't lock you in as long, like Eden farming for gear
@bronze narwhal it's impossible, you just have to finish the whole round
Which only takes around 60-120min!
Fuck
Hmm
is there a way to autosync to fates?
when you do Frontline PvP, is your team always your current GC?
so I should be doing Eden farming once I unlock the whole sequence
or expert roulette
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
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
go world visit to their world
and then playersearch if they're online
speaking of roulettes and tomestones, what's the quickest way to get tomestones of poetics
Roulette / Hunt Trains
!faq poetics
ty
Also you need to be lv 80 to hunt train
@random hollow You can make a macro you can hotkey for it
@random hollow if you want, just make a macro with /levelsync on
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
Its still part of roulettes >.> but could also be your timezone
If I join a FC on one character, does it give me the FC on all characters or only that one?
One character
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
interject will be used in place of low blow later on due to unstunable bosses
low blow is only used for low level content
lowblow will still be useful for dungeon content
*and troublesome adds, sometimes
mm, so they just kind of forgot about interject between manor and like, late/post Shadowbringers?
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
It appears in stuff like savage raids more often
But you won’t be doing those in your leveling process
ooooh it was changed/new, that makes a lot more sense
Is ff 14 in the 12 universe
no
No
Awww
But there are extensive references and unique versions of FF12 things for this game’s separate world
Which resemble the FF12 versions very closely.
What’s the recommended level to start trying out extreme dungeons?
My quest logs starting to fill up :/
either wait till 80 and solo em or que them whenever :p
just know that unless you're on JP server, queuing them through duty finder may not always yield the best results
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?
the target castbar
like shown in the image
the example shows, "the rams voice"
being cast and you can see it flashing
yeah, that's what gets me. That bar has always been there
it was added for visual clarity
the cast bar itself has always existed
but the glowing aura was added
ooooh, the small outline?
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
@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
oh, alright. I'll have to keep a lookout for it next time I'm in a dungeon
It isn't hard to get people to help me do unsynced bahamut?
nope
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
its doable solo
a single lv 80 of almost any class can solo most/all Bahamut fights
Oh nice
you don't even need to know the mechanics
Maybe I should try it myself lol
I never completed Twintania
Tried it since 2.x
Failed horribly
not knowing mechanics you say? t9 intensifies
What's in t9?
t9 is nael
Can you solo that?
it can be rough but its doable
But 8 lv 80 should be able to steamroll it without guides?
for sure
Not to be that guy but could anyone spare some lvl 70 fishing armor 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
I think it's yellow gatherer script / market board / Eulmore or Foundation sells them
grab the landking set for yellow scrips
What exactly does that mean?
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
A test was done and it averaged around 40ish hours with reading and watching cutscenes
And purposely going slow
Wait you mean playing for 4 days or do you mean 100 hours of playtime?
If I make an item for Ishgard restoration, but it's not high enough collectability, do I just discard it or something?
so 40 hours going slow and reading and watching everything? is that just for ARR or does that include post?
All arr including the required crystal tower and hard mode primals
Basically everything needed to get to heavensward
good to know thank you 😄
Does anyone know how you start the a time to every purpose I’m stuck
you can
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"?
crit increases rate and damage
so really you do want to max it out since it brings the biggest DPS gain
but there's no way to figure what your effective crit chance is?
Wait does Eden Normal give you 490 weapons!?
no
What's the best dungeon to get me through level 70 to 71?
@sturdy mason the level 69 one
some of the weapons say sotmblood or heavensward
Ok well if anyone knows lmk cause I’m lost
I mean, I'm level 70 now, and Ghimlyt Dark ain't doing it for me
can those be gotten in free trial?
Wait I thought effective crit rate is just this chart?
http://allaganstudies.akhmorning.com/stats/crit/
Level 80
var statBase = 380; var levelMod = 3300; function CritRow ( stat ) {
this.stat = stat;
this.crit = stat;
this.delta = stat - statBase;
this.rate = (Math.floor(200 * this.delta/levelMod) + 50)/1000;
this.ratePercent = (this.rate * 100).toFixed(1) + "%";
this.bonus = ...
@random hollow not the stormblood ones
free trial lets you play up through heavensward
@ripe hound eden normal does not gives you 490 weapons
e8n gives you tokens which let you buy 490 weapons
Oh nice
but you still need a decent sum of allegory to buy a weapon
@sturdy mason level 70 dungeons won't give nearly as much XP as the level 69 dungeon
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?
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
Ahh coolio, ty for that
I was like WTF is Ruin 4?
Then I remember I was playing SCH lol
Why can’t I use the scrip people in eulmore?
have you unlocked the collectible system in ishgard
You need a sidequest I think
Yes, I literally just got it and started collecting fish. I can turn them in at Mor Dhona
!faq collectibles
tl;dr go to iddlyshire,
, rhalgrs reach,
, then eulmore, 
https://i.imgur.com/1Ngopkf.png Anyone know where this is?
About 23,27
Ty
when do you get actually challenging content
Everything is easy until ultimate weapon ultimate
Honestly challenging is subjective
yeah :/
have you tried synced extreme, savage, or ultimate content yet
Maybe get to endgame first before you start complaining
See my 'challenging is subjective'
Things only stop being EXTREMELY faceroll at the vault
and even then it's easy for me
oooh
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
i will :)

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
don't use duty finder for extremes and savages
will i get grouped with terrible people lol
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
you'll most likely just get a whole lot of pissed off mentors
I have half a static good to go, one of them being an ultimate raider
ooh D:
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
@candid walrus You can save your character settings on the main menu
They're probably the hardest content most players will ever play
Uh
Ultimate difficulty is for the big dick full time raiders
Several orders of magnitude harder than any other content in the game
But several orders of magnitude easier than ultimate

You can take a look at this

Watch liv...
Barely any spoilers I think
I'm not kidding myself, I don't think i'll ever clear ultimate
But I feel I can do savage
But yeah that's about what savage looks like
you can do ultimate given enough time and people
Ultimate is typically 100+ hours of progression
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
i have a friend who's been grinding e8s since the first week and PF continues to fail them
Wait wut? I mean e8s is recent content right? Of course there are people progging?
sounds thrilling though
Oh you mean people who started when E8S released?
You don't have to clear the most difficult content to have fun, rn now i'm doing deliveries for zhloe
yes
But yeah, Savage seems hard
E8S has been out for over six months now
The only savage I did was o1s
light rampant is the PUG killer
And while attemping o2s I quit the game
Everyone who was progging it from the start should have cleared it
I'm on the complete anima step for DRK and AST
I probably should get a static if I want to prog
I mean maybe 2 hours a week for 6 month...?
you don't have to grind for that long
If it's PF it's understandable...?
especially since lockouts have been lifted
Savage is just beyond some people
If you don't think you've done anything wrong or have no room for improvement good luck
They're not a bad player by any means since they've cleared e5s-e7s
You can always squeeze out better performance
it's just e8s is absolute murder
But yeah, how hard is WoW's hard content?
2B can you show me a guide for a content or something?
Oh I was talking in general
I just wanted to see
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
Yeah, what's current WoW content? 8.3?
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?
Fuck knows, I stopped playing in legion when my off tank quit
Haven't played since
DNC is very fun
lol
But yeah I'm getting off track now
@severe tusk do you mean the level 80 baddy or the level 74 baddy
do u get to use your own minions in the verminion game?
@manic flare yes
I think Lv 74 baddy because they still wants more exp
I'm level 80. The first light monster thing. So I have night now
@severe tusk oh you mean the first dungeon
Oh that's lv 71 baddy
well, fastest way is to level Dancer or Gunbreaker to level 71
you can't get MSQ EXP otherwise
Yeah, you might want to try Gunbreaker, leveling to 71 should be quick
my tank tier list; DRK > GNB > PLD >>>>>> WAR
You should keep doing some MSQ in the mean time
Don't worry, tanking is easy
tanks is personal preference at this point
Dungeons are straight lines
Just Tank Stance -> Mitigation -> Aoe -> Aoe
Post arr
War would start at lv 1 tho
But yeah, we recommend GNB because it starts at lv 60
reason why I recommended Dancer or Gunbreaker is beacuse they start at 60
imo, WAR and PLD do not feel as well designed as DRK or GNB
GNB way to squishy ;p
Only bad ones
And Dancer will take significantly more time to get to Lv 70 than Tank because tank qeues faster
I suppose I'll tonk. Hey I'll be in the 99%!

Yeah don't worry we all accidentally complete stuff
Or is that gathering?
Fishing
gathering
Cool, never tried fishing
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
But yeah, to be honest is GNB much less tanky in dungeons?
Isn't gathering just walking in circles and clicking on trees >>
Healer is waaaay more stressful >.>
I don't feel less squishy than any other class?
@ripe hound not really
I only have lv 80 GNB so I'm not quite sure how to compare
Yeah, I'm also healer main, I don't think I really notice what class my tank is
Playing AST is the is the most difficult thing i've experienced so far
Their defensive cooldowns are slightly weaker than the others, but not substancially so
Also as an AST main, when I switch to SCH my brain just stops
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
and by slightly, I mean their 25sec CD is only like 15% instead of 25%
laughs in malefic
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
@ripe hound one's a regular cast which does more damage, other is instant cast which is basically free movement
tbn pretty much completes the job
TBN really is that good
I think the self healing and barrier from your single target rotation balances out the reduction in raw DR
Yeah, my brain just can't get into SCH yet
@severe tusk unforuntaely, DRK isn't well designed until you hit 80
TBN is the best ability in the game, fight me
below 70, you're absolutely the squishiest tank of all 4
Meanwhile I felt AST is quite easy, because the card system and heal system and dps system are completely seperated
above 70, you have infinite power
so if youre not doing endgame content its moot.
I never had an issue levelling DRK but my fuck your STOP TRYING TO HIT ME AND HIT ME goes up 400000% post 70
So you are pretty much always DPSing with everything your got, while throwing some healing and cards in
Right
DRK is really like Face Mcshotty I think
Right, stop distracting me, ive shit to do before reset xD
Lol
SHOOT ME IN MY FACE!
When I have TBN + Shadow wall up I feel like you could drop dalamut on me
and i'd be like
Sametho
heh that tickles
Yeah
Nice
!action shadow wall
Yeah
!action the blackest night
Creates a barrier around target that absorbs damage totaling 25% of target's maximum HP.
Duration: 7s
Grants Dark Arts when barrier is completely absorbed.
Dark Arts Effect: Consume Dark Arts instead of MP to execute Edge of Shadow or Flood of Shadow
TBN is DRK's short CD Mitigation right?
Yes
Equivalent in the kit of like, sheltron
shortest CD of the 4, but costs 3000 MP each time
Is it an oGCD shield? I mean can it stack with other GCD shields?
Yes
Yes
One moment
Nice
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
Out of every shield
Nicer
Does shb extreme drop dragon mounts
yes
Yes
except for memoria
Not yet released
o
Because we don't have 7 extremes yet
I regret not getting ixion during tombstones of law event
How do I use Celestial Intersection as AST? On CD?
What's nightmare and red dragon mount drop rate
Tbat give mounts for Shadowbringers
I c
Fuck it and odin are aaaaaaaa
Like I think it's a really short CD
Nightmare is 5% right?
5% isn't too bad ig
I don't need to save the Intersection Shield for situations I need shields right?
Just use it on CD
It heals and shields
!action Celestial Intersection
Restores own or target party member's HP.
Cure Potency: 200
Diurnal Sect Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 200% of the amount of HP restored
Duration: 30s
Nocturnal Sect Effect: Regen
Cure Potency: 150
Duration: 15s
Effect cannot be stacked.
Can only be executed while under the effect of Diurnal Sect or Nocturnal Sect.
Well don’t use it when everyone’s full
You can treat it like Bension but with a heal on it
lol
oh yeah just use it on cooldown basically
Yeah I think I'll just use it as a oGCD heal
Instructions unclear, bene the full hp tank
Does the macro for sheathed glowy weapons still work
yes
yes
I just often find myself holding it for like 120 seconds
Yep
/bm
/sit
o
Yeah I think I'll just use it as a oGCD heal
@ripe hound That's literally it's purpose
I'll try
/bm
/sit
/autowalk
/autowalk
Yeah
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
Temperance is so nice during big add pulls 
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
But yeah, I'm thinking about for stuff like SoSex.
SoSex's boss have auto attack right?
Vote to rename trash
Hordes!
Every boss autos
Yes
HORDES
Well 99.9% do
Yeah, I just often feel like my tank rarely take damage
Usually regens/fairy covers autos
You can use celestial intersection to avoid clipping a gcd
i generally use it with combust
Yeah, I just often feel like my tank rarely take damage
@ripe hound What level have you played up till
any tips for a new player?
!faq newplayertips
Lv 80 extreme
@ripe hound since combust lasts 30s and CI is 30s
Yeah, it's just that all the AOE healing seems like it already covers the damage tanks take
I generally end up using it on cd
Man i'm hungry
to not clip a gcd while i refresh my dot
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
I refresh my dot after a malefic
are white gatherers scrips generally less valuable than white crafters scrips?
depends on what you're buying and selling
whatever's the best for gil, i suppose
o that autorun command doesn't work on macro
It's
/bm
/sit for now
That macro is to glich weapon effects
Ya
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
I c
Did not know that
whats the button to walk slowly instead of always running
On computer its / next to num lock
/ On the numpad
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
sks to 5 GCDs in 10 seconds > crit > det > tenacity
Anything from 5.2 is still valid
cool thank you very much
do we know if there is a patch tonight?
There shouldn’t be
Patches are announced in advanced
If I get an anima weapon for summoner
Can I get the weapon for other jobs too
o I c
You can get them all, if you hate yourself enough
Not enough
So a few weapons ig
If you really hate yourself, try grinding a few zeta weapons
You'll be begging for mercy after one
I'm trying to get that i270 weapon is that zeta
That's Anima (Lux)
No zeta is lv50
o no fuck zeta
50 - zeta
60 - anima
70 - eureka
80- Resistance
o I c
Which is the easiest among them I'm going purely for glamour
Less time consuming
Well techincally resistance since its not done yet....
But Anima probably since its like 95% poetic farn
anima is the easiest
Anima it is
I remember doing zeta
I hated it
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
https://gyazo.com/1ccda1be23aa027c3872bd91912dc6cf How'd this girl get this long hair version? o:
Is there anyway to play orchastrion scroll while I'm travelling and stuff
Like how the mounts play them but without the mounts
Personal opinion, Anima weapons looks pretty good

Nope
Personal opinion, Anima weapons looks pretty good
@warped nest
I agree
that sounds like a pretty good qol thing, letting us play orchestrations in the overworld though @warped nest
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
To be honest I kind of hope you can play personal Orchestron
Like a mp3 or something
Just play a music for yourself
That's called spotify
Yeah
Something like that
Is tanking significantly harder than other classes in Eden Normal?
I'm thinking about farming Eden as Tank to practice
no
No
No, its pretty braindead
Usually I'm allowed mess up a thing or two and the party won't wipe right?
theres 2 tanks
^
Cool
If people get hit by stuff its their fault 99% of the time
I'm just worried I'll aim stuff at the team
you wont
Like PUPPET BUNKER LAZER BEAM!
There's like 1 cleave in 7
just turn the boss around
move to whichever side is opposite the team
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.....
kk
@umbral citrus play pvp
Well 2 actually, Ifirits instant incineration cleaves but yeah, big red circle on you is obvious
do people really not do pvp or there is something wrong with my pvp duty finder xD
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
Its not popular
especially since frontline requires 72 players a match
Yeah, usually Frontline should at least be able to get some people...
especially since frontline requires 72 players a match
@slate arrow ah , this is probably why
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
and then the bots struck
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
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
Yeah he's in Japan
erwin is JP
Oh yeah don't queue for all lanugages
that will also impact your queue times
Yeah maybe JP and EN
1pm a lot of people in JP are still working
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
Hun?
free trial doesn't matter
I thought you can select multiple language in free trail?
cant sadly T.T
open duty finder and click the cog at the top
yep tried
how do I get the Yama Hakama of Striking?
eagles reach
Hmmm. does poetics work?
rhalgrs
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
Do I use poetics for them?
yes
how do I get the Yama Hakama of Striking?
@signal garnet yama hakama is an upgrade of the rakshasa crafted set iirc
I can't see if you still trade tokens for them
probably? i don't think they removed teh npc
lookin rn
my client is stuck like this, is there a way to troubleshoot it or w hatever?
it does this even if i restart it
I can find the dai-ryumaku and scaven but no Yama Hakama
it's on the opposite side
also
the rakshasa hakama of striking has the same model
npc is j'tandhaa
amd you can buy it on the mb iirc
or make it yourself
@gentle leaf did you update internet explorer
the launcher uses it
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
Yes
@remote lintel that worked
Why does spear fishing suck so much
ty
@earnest imp what do you mean?
Cool
its like the 2 other gathering methods
It’s so shitty compared to normal fishing. “The fish got away” happens every other gig attempt
how often do you think I should craft new gear for crafters/gatherers? every 10 levels? maybe 5?
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*
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
isiah means custom deliveries
Custom deliveries require me to catch those fish and I don’t have the bait for it yet
i personally would recommend doing scrips on the other 2 gatherers
^
They’re wayyyyyyy to low...
My bot is like lvl 8 and miner is level 17
Fisher is 76
that sucks
yikes, fishing is kind of not really a priority imo. since like 8 crafters basically rely on mining and botanist
unless youre doing it for the fun of it, yeah
Cul is the only crafter I truly use though.
cul uses a lot of btn
And with me being a Sam main almost all the food the sam uses requires fish
alchemy could be usful and also what she said
and even mining
even if youre exclusively cooking youd want all 3
herring pie for example uses two mining nodes
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
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
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
i think its faster too
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?
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
like on bard i understand the rotation and the gist of the opener but i tend to flub the opener a lot
@unreal aspen dungeons are all push overs tbh
Practice on striking dummies
you wont have to worry about that to much
sofi when i do when i boost is just grind on the dummy
but practice makes perfect
what i do*
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
you wont have to worry about that with bard
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
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
ahhh okay ty
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
o yeah I'm in it
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
what skills should I be using in the diadem? Just using King's Yield atm
whatever gives you more yield or gathering attempts are fine
Hey do we have any idea when the next step of the lv80 relics are coming out? :x
not announced
booo..

What are we on again?
were on 5.31
:c
it will also introduce a new leveling method from 71-80
we don't know what it will be like but my guess is its gonna be another potd knock off with a twist
is there any point in saving up 5 aetheromatic shots in the diadem?
probably
👍
what item level do retainers need to be to farm the high end materials for the neo-ishgardian stuff?
do they need to be maxed out as well?
Can you upgrade Eden normal gear?
Hello friends! Where is the best place to farm Lightning shards? I'm a free trial player so can't use the marketboard or retairnes, thanks in advance.
@ripe hound no
kk
@steady vault check your gathering log, it should be nearby any of the three starting cities
Thank you!

!item prison attire coffer

I still can't access the splendor vendor in Rhaglr's reach? I did the Stormblood quest
odd
For Collectable turn ins?
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?
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
For controller users you can use a macro that automatically places down ground-based aoes like Asylum and Sacred Soil on your target
/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
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.
SE.2 plays a sound effect, specifically the 2nd one. You have a choice of 1 to 15 iirc
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.
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)
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"
Hi everyone! what's the best way to farm poetics?

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
it's better to input both skills manually, yes
but it doesnt seem to work fluently
swiftcast has a delay before the game registers it, so if you try using rez the frame right after it probably won't work
would probably have to use third party macros, which i very highly assume aren't allowed
Does the FC MGP buff apply to the MGP you can get from completing the challenge log?
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
any tip how to best handle this issue?
just google what the spell is called? (not this one in specific. this is just an example)
why not just set the whole game to english?
better language
@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
is there anything for Black Mage to use swiftcast for?
Swiftcast a spell during movement is the big one
maybe Flare?
how to proc Scathe with full damage? I never see it proc 🤔
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
Roulette (once per day for daily bonus): primarily Leveling, msq, Alliance Roulette. Trial and raid roulette are decent
since the queue-time is usually like 0-20 seconds
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
always go for roulette, or rather pick the dungeons i want the most?
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
i also heard the palace of the dead is "the best leveling option" from a buddy. what do you think?
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
roulette only once per day though? what after i did it?
Dungeon
what does dungeon mean? why would i not just continue with roulette?
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
because roulette can put you in a lv 15 dungeon, instead of 53, xp is crap without the huge final bonus
is the "tank/healer (role bonus)" of roulettes worth it?
Take note that the bonus will adjust itself to make it worthwhile, no matter what level dhngoen you get
