@inner jackal it’s capped at 12 😔 unless there’s some special FATE that gives out more that I’m unaware of

Ugh... Well, thanks for the info.

the 2 world boss fates of Shb give more

Ooh, they give 72 each. May be worth trying to grind those out.

Was new crafted battlecraft gear introduced in 5.3? I just want to make sure Crystarium gear is still the best to grab after hitting 80 on my jobs

is 5.35 ishgard housing or is it just the extra wards in other resident districts?

Do I need to beat sb or be near the end of sb to do the lv 70 summoner quest
I'm still doing the lv 60 sb quests but I already have a lv 70 summoner

Just for the record, afaik there isn't even any confirmation there will be Ishgard housing at all. Though a lot of things imply it.

You have to finish sb
Finish the final quest "Stormblood" and you'll be able to access any lv70 job quest

dont need to finish stormblood for the lvl70 jobquest
twilit arch
no you dont need to complete stormblood to do the lv l70 job quest

Daamit I want bahamut asap

that's makes no sense anyway lmao because that gives you the gear to do the instance

But I need to be near end sb right
Just like hw

Yeah you can't even do the 70 quest without 70 gear prolly
twilit arch
no

Also no there are some job quests that are in stormblood locations. Like Ninja and Samurai
half kraken
I prefer doing it myself
glossy flare
Msq right
@vital ruin it's the last 4.0 msq
half kraken
You'll know it because it concludes the SB story
glossy flare
Well it concludes the base SB story
twilit arch
also I stated specifically that the smn job quests dont take place in sb location
glossy flare
not the whole SB story, that happens in later patches

How long is sb
how many msqs

Stormblood is long

Do you get the fantasia from buying ARR on all characters or just one

if you story skip arr do you still get the free fantasia?
magic mortar
nop
leaden ginkgo
aw
magic mortar
tbh arr isn’t too bad anymore
leaden ginkgo
yeah I mean its because on my alt i story skipped haha
magic mortar
still a slog but you can skip cutscenes and undersize dungeons with someone to make it quicker since msq gives out so much xp
ahh
leaden ginkgo
yeah on preffered servers its prob easy af
magic mortar
if you have the heavensward collectors edition you can get a fantasia that way
tbh heavensward collectors edition is a better deal than a sole fantasia bc you get all the mounts and stuff
so if you want the fantasia go for that first
leaden ginkgo
true, I'll prob get that instead
halcyon glen
HW collector's is $20 normally, double the price of a fantasia fwiw

limber heron
what's the best class for solo Palace of the dead for bronze farming (early levels)
glossy flare
probably PLD because PLD is the best at soloing things
gritty oracle
Healer, I'm guessing. Or red mage if you can go above 54...
twilit arch
for low levels of potd, it doesn't really matter tbh
all of them can do it the low floors just fine so long as you've got a decent aetherpool
but that said rdm and mch are top dogs for soloing potd
limber heron
Sorry, still a bit new
What's rdm? mch?
PLD is paladin?
oh! red mage
and... mch.
machinist?
twilit arch
mch=machinist
limber heron
What about rogue?
I guess the hard thing is you havve eto solo the boss at the end. Getting through the rest isn't such a big deal
twilit arch
like i said, low level floors it doesn't really matter what job you go in as. What matters for those floors is pretty much having a decent aetherpool
limber heron
I guess I don't understand. I've failed before to kill the boss
What can you do other than open the chests you find? If that's not enough, then what?
cedar compass
twilit arch
yes, stormblood story skip puts you at the first quest for shadowbringers
wispy parcel
Yes it does
Not recommended if you playing through for the first time
cause as always the set up for the next expansion is in the patch quests
twilit arch
if you're just interested in farming bronze sacks, personally would just queue for like floor1-10 unless you really don't want to deal with other people
if you're going to solo it then i would do floor 51-60 to farm silver chests first for aetherpool
limber heron
At low levels, everyone's rushing through not grabbing anything
So it ends up being useless 😦

Do you have saddlebags yet aesyric?

throw out or sell old gear you dont need
twilit arch
anything that has "Shop Selling Price: X" on it, you can safely sell for the most part
wispy parcel
Im seeing like 8 bows in there
twilit arch
since it means that it can be bought from a vendor somewhere
silent zodiac
don't i want to keep old gear for glamour?
limber heron
Chocobo saddle bag. You get them with a mount at level 20? 30? There's a mission near Brendtbranch IIRC
If you don't have a mount yet, you're missing out
silent zodiac
i have a mount, just no saddlebag
twilit arch
if you're not a trial user, you can use retainers to store stuff or put armour/weapons you can to keep in the glamour dresser

https://gyazo.com/176981f4e83de0a5f5ab4d541e07d9b3 It seems to be a longer version of the Au Ra hair

twilit arch
fairly certain that's just one of the female au ra racial hairstyles
silent zodiac
Is there a correct vendor to sell old gear to? I see my gear has "shop selling price" and "sells for" price, what is the difference here?
vale hedge
Yeah but it's a longer version of the default female au ra hairstyles
wintry chasm
Shop selling price means an NPC sells it for that price
twilit arch
then it'd be a modded version of it
wintry chasm
sells for price just means that's how much you'd get for it if you trashed it to a vendor
wintry chasm
Also you can trade old green/pink/blue gear to the grand company officer if you've ranked up enough
otherwise there isn't really a specific NPC to go to
silent zodiac
Is there a reagant bank, or somewhere to store specifically crafting materials? like bat wings, cactus needles, etc

I used to play when the game came out on the PS3 and only got up to Ifrit, but I didn't really play the game often with school, and our family didn't want to keep paying for the subscription.
I just bought it for PC today, and I was wondering, how important is it to do the crafting jobs early in the game, or is it better to focus on combat and story to begin with then move to crafting when I get further?
glossy flare
Ultimately that will be up to you, it's totally viable to level crafters/gatherers early on
Probably a good idea to do all of them in tandem even since they obviously support each other
But story progress will unlock other, more efficient ways to level them later on

ARR can be a bit of a slow burn since it does a lot of world building
glossy flare
The story improves considerably when you get into Heavensward, the first expansion
twilit arch
but it picks up towards the end of ARR, can drop a little during post ARR
but then it starts really picking up as you get into the quests leading up to heavensward

im currently level 13 killing swarms of bugs for some random dude who dropped some crystals

Not that ARR tells a bad story, it just has some issues in terms of pacing and how it tells that story

@cinder mortar I'm enjoying tank as my first
eager widget
like helping a soldier reunite with a female soldier that both met in an ambush
glossy flare
I would recommend picking Paladin for your first tank job, it is very well rounded and has a lot of great tools that also help in solo content

except only one of them is a lalafell

@glossy flare dope, thats what I went with
like helping a soldier reunite with a female soldier that both met in an ambush
@eager widget I like lore-based sidequests
glossy flare
Not that Warrior is bad, it's just more unga bunga 😄
flat ridge
can somebody tell me at what level ARR MSQ ends? how far away am i?
halcyon glen
50
faint flare
50
glossy flare
what MSQ are you on?
eager widget
you’re close to finishing 2.0 based on that
exotic summit
what MSQ are you on?
@glossy flare I dunno how to check. Ul'Dah's most wanted
halcyon glen
that's the one
glossy flare
Just wanted to know the name, and yeah
flat ridge
i see... so i am still have quite a bit to go
halcyon glen
oh wait that's a gladiator quest 😛
flat ridge
i am watching this video right now, and will be catching on to the point i am on right now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgJoaZfnpkQ
flat ridge
so i will probably have to watch the videos for like.... 5 hours?
halcyon glen
Like I said @exotic summit, your first dungeon is level 15
followed immediately by your second and third
glossy flare
Also the first few dungeons are pretty easy, really hard to die in there
Even if your healer does nothing 😄
XIV does a pretty good job at being baby's first mmo
halcyon glen
i dunno, our tank d/c'd my first run of Tam-tara
and the other 3 of us were ALL first timers
there was some death there 😛
flat ridge
glossy flare
Yeah my opinion might be clouded a bit 🤔
flat ridge
so 7th era will have... 80 quests?
glossy flare
yup
faint flare
Yes
flat ridge
oh boy- then i still have a bit to go
halcyon glen
80 quests, plus give or take 15 mandatory
plain python
don't forget moogle letters and hildabrand and crystal tower :3
glossy flare
Yeah, you can also start working on the Crystal Tower raid series
They are mandatory now
halcyon glen
Crystal Tower being the first set of required ones
flat ridge
well... i DO have that 8 hour long video
halcyon glen
did u skip cutscenes
ashen eagle
If i want to be a DPS mage Do i join the Conjurer's Guild? or Does it not matter?
faint flare
Conjuerer is a healer primarily
glossy flare
Conjurers are healers
faint flare
The casting DPS are Thaumatugre/black mage, arcanist/Summoner and Red mage (at 50)
flat ridge
@ashen eagle have you tried the official job video from square enix?
faint flare
flat ridge
@ashen eagle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaGxC7wnBDo
glossy flare
The first one is NOT the official video (but quite fun and still helpful)
flat ridge
mine is official
faint flare
The second just shows off the new actions some jobs got
flat ridge
shows the spells
ashen eagle
What is the closes to a mage of ice / lightning?
flat ridge
it shows all actions
flat ridge
black mage. the standard "stand still and cast the big magicz"
little swift
Vicious it doesnt show every action. Just the newer ones and how they interact with parts of the older kit
faint flare
^
flat ridge
which ones does it miss?
ashen eagle
I'll check out black mage.
flat ridge
looks like all spells for bard
ashen eagle
Thanks for the help!
little swift
Tank defensives are one they muss
faint flare
Like 80% of their kit
glossy flare
I'll check out black mage.
@ashen eagle FYI, Black Mage starts as Thaumaturge
ashen eagle
Oh. Thanks Cypher.
glossy flare
Just join the thaumaturges guild in Uldah
faint flare
The whole point of the job action videos is to show off and tease new actions prior to expansions
little swift
Iirc bard is missing some song info as well
flat ridge
@ashen eagle you can play every job with the same character in this game. you can always change later.
tulip plover
Why cant i put chaotic cyclone on my hotbar
faint flare
Because decimate turns into it
little swift
It upgrades decimate
tulip plover
Oh yea true
little swift
Its your infuriate spender, even on single target until you get inner chaos
tulip plover
For groups correct?
little swift
Even on single target since its a guaranteed direct crit compared to just using it on fell cleave
Once you get inner chaos
You use that
tulip plover
Ah true but what about inner release?
little swift
Dont use infuriate inside inner release
tulip plover
Oops i meant seperate
little swift
The math works out to a crit fell cleave being about the same and chaotic cyclone on single target
But direct crit fell cleave being better
But that's a fishing for rng dps increass
So you would chaotic cyclone instead for consistency
tulip plover
So just blow infuriate on chaos and spam on singles?
manic flare
how do you give ether to alisaie during the duty?
tulip plover
Walk up to the area
iron anvil
Hi may i have some help with a macro?
im trying to macro ruin II right after ruin but it says ruin II is not a valid action name?
little swift
So just blow infuriate on chaos and spam on singles?
@tulip plover until you get inner chaos yes
agile laurel
How long does the 'gee willikers you logged in in a strange manner, we've temporarily restricted access to your account' shite last?
faint flare
Dont macro skills together
agile laurel
forgot to turn my vpn off
faint flare
Flat out
west spruce
dont chain skill
iron anvil
/levelsync on
/mount <wait.1>
/ac "Ruin" <wait.3>
/ac "Ruin II" <t>
This is my macro
oh cant chain skills?
faint flare
Thats fucking terrible
iron anvil
im just doing 1 for fate farming
west spruce
not that you can't but
iron anvil
then manually clicking after
agile laurel
that's
bad, actually
like you shouldn't even do that
let alone make a macro for it
little swift
And ruin doesn't even have a target either
iron anvil
yea im manually clicking before i use the macro
manic flare
it doesn't do anything when i walk up to the area
and i can't interact with anything when im next to alisaie
west spruce
have you try clicking her
iron anvil
ok maybe i shall change the macro to just ruin 2
iron anvil
so i can get the contribution from fate?
west spruce
idk can't remember that fight
agile laurel
and it's this I was referring to
iron anvil
is there anyway i can improve hte macro?
west spruce
I would help but I can't even remember what ruin 1 and 2 does lol
little swift
is there anyway i can improve hte macro?
@iron anvil dont use it and just time your actions better
iron anvil
its just a target spell xd
little swift
R1 is channeled r2 is instant
iron anvil
@iron anvil dont use it and just time your actions better
@little swift nono im not using it for anything else but just for fate farming
so i can levelsync dismount and do the first hit
little swift
Yeah I know that radix
faint flare
Still slow as balls
little swift
But you can do all those actions manually and still be faster
agile laurel
!faq macrogcd
zinc orbitBOT
manic flare
anyone know how i can channel aether to alisaie
west spruce
guys he's just lazy, understandable
iron anvil
i mean its just a qol macro for me cause theres so much fates to farm
and i dont wanna click level sync and dismount for the next 300 fates
LOL
open ember
Macros for battle classes that arent rez macros are just bad in general. Your input times would be faster than the macro itself.
iron anvil
Macros for battle classes that arent rez macros are just bad in general. Your input times would be faster than the macro itself.
@open ember ohh thats good, i'll make one for rez! thanks for the tip
open ember
But hey if you wanna do it then I'm not gonna stop you
iron anvil
never thought about it
little swift
Rez macros are bad too
west spruce
unnecessary tbh
open ember
It's usually to indicate the cohealer who you're gonna rez so you don't waste mp on rezzing thr same person
little swift
They dont accomplish what you want them to
open ember
I don't have raise macros but some people do
open ember
But battle macros for basic skills? No
little swift
anyone know how i can channel aether to alisaie
@manic flare interact with the aetherial blaxe
Raise macros are silly since they clog up chat as well.
open ember
Oh yeah def
little swift
The people who need to figure out who needs to raise who are either a static in voice
open ember
Some people just have necessarily long ones and I'm like wHY
little swift
Or can pay attention to the party list
manic flare
is there a way to pause a single player duty
west spruce
not that I know
open ember
I don't believe so
little swift
Nope
west spruce
real men macro ten chi jin
magic light
that's a joke, right?
little swift
Equip it to farm fates with
You have to be wearing it to get the tokens that givr minions
still pike
how do you unlock Hrothgar and Viera in character creation?
glossy flare
buy Shadowbringers

glossy flare
Are you sure it is active on your account?
west spruce
did you redeem the code
glossy flare
can you screenshot the part on mogstation where it shows what content you have unlocked?
still pike
sure
hot eagle
allrdy tried to logout and login again
halcyon tulip
Restart the game maybe
little swift
You might have to download extra content
glossy flare
Oh yeah, this ^
eternal canyon
What's better for farming hq drops? High lvl enemies or lots of low lvl ones?

oh yeah, it's giving me the license accept for the new content
and now i gotta download more
leaden ginkgo
saw someone mention a "hunt train"
what is that? sounds fun
little swift
Nope
patent citrus
ok ty ty
wispy parcel
the only thing GC Seals are good for are glam prisms and ventures
leaden ginkgo
what are ventures for?
little swift
Hunt trains are a player run activity where large groups of players go around hunting really strong monsters
patent citrus
ty
twilit arch
can also check the price of the crafting materials
to see if any sell well
coke is usually a common seller
little swift
The anima weapon materials arent awful either
twilit arch
cordials can also be decent option, personally i don't since can get a lot of yellow scrips pretty easy from ocean fishing to get hi-cordials
little swift
Cordial yes but spiritbond potions aren't something I'd use frequently
patent citrus
ok
tulip plover
Cordials are clutch when gathering
wooden ginkgo
can you buy ffxiv complete edition for PS4 and then play it on pc?
tulip plover
No
patent citrus
nope
twilit arch
you would need to buy it for pc as well if you want to play on pc
wooden ginkgo
I wish it worked lol
faint flare
Thats licenses for you
silent gorge
Ive been wearing it for like five raids and havent got anything 😦
zinc orbitBOT
silent gorge
Yeah sorry i meant fate
west spruce
bad luck I guess
silent gorge
Does it show up with your fate loot
sharp meteor
what do i do with these? https://i.imgur.com/VjX5Rhi.png
calm phoenix
/macroicon not working. Just does an M. does anybody know what the problem could be?
twilit arch
toss them, transmute them, or sell them on the marketboard since some people like to be weird and collect stuff like that @sharp meteor
twilit arch
right click on the target bar, there's an option
sharp meteor
whats transmute?
remote lintel
@calm phoenix did you put something after the /micion?
twilit arch
you can talk to mutamix in central thanalan to mix 5 materia into a new one
calm phoenix
Yes "resurrection"
twilit arch
with a chance of getting a higher grade
leaden ginkgo
So like, I don't like raiding. Is there a lot for me to do endgame otherwise?
small rampart
🙇♂️ thanks, found it
sharp meteor
what was it originally used for? 
calm phoenix
remote lintel
did you click off the macro
remote lintel
try putting /micon ressurection at the bottom and click off it again
leaden ginkgo
do main story quests lead to heavensward?
west spruce
yes
leaden ginkgo
I'm getting like 4.8k exp per mission it's pretty meh
remote lintel
are you on post ARR
leaden ginkgo
ye
remote lintel
thats because it was the level cap
leaden ginkgo
I see, so I have to rely on duties and what not to level now?
calm phoenix
No Still not working 😦
twilit arch
those quests aren't intended to level you too much since HW was meant to be started at lvl 50
leaden ginkgo
oh I am level 52
I am just overeager to get the free gryffin and firebird mounts lol
which you get around 60 if you do the quests associated with getting all the birds and ananta stuff
little swift
Use autotranslate for your macro
remote lintel
can you put any macro icon at all?
leaden ginkgo
how can I activate the practice grounds in Kholusia?
hey another question is, how hard should a paladin be hitting at level 52?
calm phoenix
Another example?
leaden ginkgo
like my crits should reach what around?
granite swan
/micon "Ruin"
eager widget
talk to one of the NPCs in poverty town or head to the dummy island and do it there
little swift
Hit tab while typing out the name of the action
eager widget
iirc it’s the cliffside NPC
leaden ginkgo
proverty town haha
twilit arch
it would probably help if you spelled Resurrection correctly
calm phoenix
Nope. Sprint and ruin do not work
remote lintel
do what channy said
@leaden ginkgo you have to actually get the birds which are from extreme trials
not from quests
leaden ginkgo
anyone who tanked here know how hard I hsould be hitting around level 52
I feel like I'm not hitting as hard as I could
remote lintel
less hard than a dps
leaden ginkgo
rage of halone crits for like 496 sometimes
little swift
You won't be doing super crazy damage
leaden ginkgo
but I see dps getting 800 sometimes
green slate
ya thats why theyre called dps
remote lintel
because theyre dps?
leaden ginkgo
aren't paladins supposed to be close to it?
calm phoenix
That did it. Thanks
eager widget
nah tanks and dps have big gaps
leaden ginkgo
I see, so the damage I'm doing is normal for my level?
twilit arch
if you are, your dps is trash
green slate
if tanks did similar amounts of damage then there would be no incentive to play dps considering you have to pay attention to position for dps
twilit arch
also its not something worth worrying about
because SE doesn't really balance leveling dmg
So long as things are dying a reasonable pace, you're doing fine
leaden ginkgo
any tiips on not dying? I keep dying on the hard boss fights and am one of the only ones, we win but I get rekt? I have really good gear for my level (the valor + armor I bought from the new rising stones area)
remote lintel
use cooldowns
remote lintel
all at once?
leaden ginkgo
ya
green slate
your healers must be bad then lol
leaden ginkgo
they stack right?
green slate
also even without using cooldowns effectively i dont think you should be dying too frequently at that lvl tbh
or at least i didnt
leaden ginkgo
well onlyonce
granite swan
so 30+20 isnt 50, its more like 35 or something when you stack em
leaden ginkgo
near the crazy parts of the boss fights
might just be the healer, I was doing everything right as far as I knew
granite swan
What boss?
leaden ginkgo
but I just don't like being the onlly guy who dies
green slate
might just be a lack of coordination when it comes to those fights
leaden ginkgo
I just started game a few days ago tho lol
faint flare
Well kill the small moogles first before the big one
leaden ginkgo
already beat both of those
faint flare
Ramuh as a tank needs you to collect 3 orbs to get resistance otherwise he does too much damage to you
leaden ginkgo
I see ohh that makes sense
little swift
The kill order for king mog matters less now because of ilvl
leaden ginkgo
also ismy health good for level 52?
granite swan
Dont forget Reprisal and Strong Arm in your tanking kit :p
leaden ginkgo
7.2k?
little swift
Its fine
leaden ginkgo
what should I be at at 60?
leaden ginkgo
what effects health? your gear or level? or both?
green slate
if youre worried about health and whatnot you can always grind poetics for lvl 130 gear
leaden ginkgo
poetics?
green slate
unless youre not there yet
little swift
Your gear has a vitality stat
remote lintel
gear affects health
leaden ginkgo
ye I have tried to pick gear with higher vitality
but 7.2k is normal for my range right?
or should it be higher?
little swift
Make sure youre also using tank specific gear
sweet leaf
so how does palace of the dead work? If we reach a higher level in the class/job we use than we already have outside the palace, then does the level we attained in the palace become our new level? or is it straight up its own instance and doesn't affect our overall progress?
little swift
Not just gear that has higher vitality
leaden ginkgo
ye using valor set with glamour
little swift
Valor set isn't the best you can get
leaden ginkgo
what's better?
granite swan
@sweet leaf PoTD and HoH use their own system, you can start a fresh PoTD and be lv 1 insdie and 80 outside
leaden ginkgo
I was looking at the armors there, and there's maybe like +5 at most there
in terms fo armor comparison
remote lintel
for a weapon +5 is a huge amount
little swift
Ironworks fending armor is what you want
green slate
^
sweet leaf
so if i'm level 15 outside of PoTD, and i reach level 20 in PoTD, i'm still level 15 anyways? @granite swan
little swift
Lion shield?
faint flare
Ironworks is the best you can get at 50
leaden ginkgo
I can tell you name when I log in
little swift
That's not the best one you can get
Ironworks best most accessible set
For your progress in msq
granite swan
@sweet leaf well it should level you up when you leave, but yeah, stuff inside PoTD is seperate
remote lintel
you don't need a full set
leaden ginkgo
better than valor even in terms of vitality stats?
sweet leaf
that's 2 conflicting answers in one response, i still don't understand
plain python
is there an up-to-date PoTD weapon/armor and potshard guide?
granite swan
@sweet leaf PoTD has its own level system. Outside has its own also. When you leave PoTD you gain EXP from the 10 floor run
leaden ginkgo
so the weapon that does the most damage with the highest ilevel?
faint flare
Weapon damage is king
remote lintel
the weapon you can use
faint flare
Of everything
remote lintel
which is only 1
which is the paladin sword
ironworks has 1 weapon for every class
remote lintel
it's both
granite swan
@sweet leaf Like on later floors of Palace of the Dead, you can be lv 60 inside, and be lv 1 outside
glossy flare
gladiator = paladin
faint flare
Same thing
little swift
Gla/pld
leaden ginkgo
I see, ok so ironworks armor set and sword/shield
will get on it then
is there better gear at 60?
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
there's poetics gear at 60
faint flare
Ironworks lasts until lv55 story gear
leaden ginkgo
oh? I am level 52? is it even worth it then?
glossy flare
You can't buy the lvl 60 gear until you progress far enough in the MSQ
remote lintel
theres poetics gear at every endgame area except the lvl 80 one
granite swan
You have like 80 quests between ARR and HW, then 30-50 quests before you get to the lv 55 story
faint flare
You cant get access to better gear until story
leaden ginkgo
story is easy af tho
remote lintel
well it takes time
sweet leaf
you need to reach heavensward before you start getting level 51-60 quests, so Ironworks is what you want to use until you reach that part of the story
remote lintel
you can't get lvl 60 poetics gear when youre only on lvl 52 story
glossy flare
There is not much else to spend your poetics on
so you might as well
can't have more than 2k of them anyway
leaden ginkgo
fair enough
glossy flare
So better to spend them on stuff before you overcap
sweet leaf
Im a level 73 white mage still in ironworks gear because i haven't reached heavensward yet
leaden ginkgo
I am grinding through the msq's rn but they're getting tedious lol I just want to get to heavensward
I stayed up till like 6am playing the game grinding through everything lmao
granite swan
ARR-HW took me about 12-15 hours to get through lol
leaden ginkgo
I read everything lol
and watch the cutscenes
might as well take a bit more time to enjoy
ripe hound
As Ninja you should really never leave your Ninjutsu at 2 charges right?
little swift
Post arr story has been timed to take about 19 hours with cutscenes
remote lintel
yes akira

but these tedious quests rn I am starting to skip because they're not that interesting
remote lintel
what part are you on
sour ruin
What you dont want to know what the swamp man has to say about winemaking
leaden ginkgo
@little swift wait post arr before heavensward?
leaden ginkgo
@remote lintel just saw cutscene where the sultana cries
ripe hound
How long does Suiton last?
little swift
suiton buff is about 20s
remote lintel
it says it on your buffs
leaden ginkgo
how much longer till heavensward for me?
ripe hound

granite swan
Whats the quest name?
leaden ginkgo
I just saw the cutscene where sultana cries and gathered all the people from the 3 regions for alphinauds plan
remote lintel
so between the striking tree and snowcloak
leaden ginkgo
how many hours would you say?
remote lintel
youre mildly close
leaden ginkgo

leaden ginkgo
