blue weapon is not in disciple of magic arms?

elbert in foundation doesn't sell it

[forest laurel]

blue mage weapons don't do anything afaik

it's your gear that does all the work for you

[faint flare]

There's only like 4 blue weapons

[forest laurel]

yeah and they're just for glam

[faint flare]

Except the last one cause meld slots

[plain python]

I heard red mage's starter outfit is not re-obtainable?

You can get it back now

[open ember]

Its something like that at the calamity salvager

Stupid question

Is the best way to level up FSH the same as the other gatherers by leves?

I still haven't unlocked FSH yet so I'm just asking

[faint flare]

And ocean fishing

Every 2 hours

[open ember]

When do you get ocean fishing?

[faint flare]

Lv1

[half shadow]

Kind of proud of myself. Almost bought the story bypass potion. At the ramuh section. Still about 70 quests but.. it’ll give me experience and equipment for the monk.

[open ember]

Oh okay ty Tails

I've been putting off FSH for so long its just sitting there

@half shadow nice

[half shadow]

Is there some type of macro setup that allows or keys to swap to new keys. (Sorry dumb question). When I click an attack, the next attack in order lights up. Is there a method of switching the next attack so I can just press 1 three times to do the basic combo?

[faint flare]

No

[open coral]

There is not

[half shadow]

Having my fingers do ballets a bit tough

[plain python]

I was busy doing moggle letter and hildebrand quests and lving up archer, so I haven't progressed passed ramuh XD

[half shadow]

Aah ok

[faint flare]

You cant have the pvp set up in pve

Not without literally fucking MURDERING your dps to non existant levels

Combat macros are bad

[open ember]

Yeah no pls don't use combat macros

They're not good in any circumstance

[half shadow]

Not so much a macro, I have three lines of hot bars... I’d like to press 1 to do the basic 3 attacks

If I have to deviate not a issue

[faint flare]

That would even up being a macro

[half shadow]

Hmm. Probably...

I’ll look it up

[thick widget]

hey guys, how do you enter Alexander Turn 5? Do you have to have flying unlocked in that area?

[open ember]

Did you finish thr first 4

[thick widget]

yeah

[open ember]

You need to go to Slowfix

And go find the quest

"Rearmed"

[thick widget]

I already have that quest

I'm at the part where you need to speak with Lightkix

[open ember]

Where is it telling you to go?

[thick widget]

on some island in the middle of Theliak river

[open ember]

Oh

That's the entrance to all the raids

I would advise you get flying so it'd be easier to get there

[dapper oyster]

so i just unlocked custom delivery for level 60, and now it says i have 12 allowance

[agile laurel]

*so it's actually POSSIBLE to get there

you cannot reach midas without flying

[open ember]

Yesh yeah

[dapper oyster]

can i just make 12 of 1 tem

[faint flare]

No

[dapper oyster]

sad

[faint flare]

6 per person

[thick widget]

oh jeez. I seriously do not wanna get flying. I don't want to just search the massive area for the aether currents and do all the side quests for them

[faint flare]

And there's 6 people

[open ember]

@thick widget its better to fly. Flying is faster anywhere

[faint flare]

All the currents were very close to the story path

[open coral]

The HW currents aren't that bad to get.

^

[open ember]

If you want the rest of the raids you have to fly

[faint flare]

So thats on you if you missed going 30s out of the way of them

[open coral]

They're all close to either MSQ objectives/path or to current objectives.

[open ember]

Flying in HW only sucks for the sea of Clouds

[open coral]

Only the SB ones are actually terrible.

[open ember]

All other HW areas are not that bad at all

[open coral]

Even Sea of Clouds isn't bad anymore.

[wintry chasm]

Only the SB ones are actually terrible.
Only a few

Not ALL the SB ones

[open coral]

The Lochs

[open ember]

One word. The Lochs

[wintry chasm]

That's still not all of SB

[open ember]

God that place is TERRIBLE

[glossy flare]

that's two words

[wintry chasm]

but yes Lochs is pretty nasty with those

[open coral]

I'm not too fond of the Peaks either, tbh.

[plain python]

what Archer's Interrupt can interupt? I tried using it on cast bar skills, but it doesn't work

[glossy flare]

!faq interrupt

[zinc orbit]

Interrupt

[open ember]

@plain python Interject

[open coral]

Because the last current requires you to go all the way across the entire zone and back again to complete the quest.

[flat ridge]

the ring says my healing-stat would be increased by +104, but it only increases by like 30 in my stats. you know how it works？

[glossy flare]

gotta have this glowing outline

otherwise a cast can not be interrupted

[open ember]

Gives you exp buff up to lv70

[glossy flare]

but you can still interrupt it by stunning the caster for example, if that's possible

[open ember]

For that earring

[open coral]

@flat ridge The Aetheryte earring scales to your level in stats up to level 70.

[open ember]

But idk the numbers

[open coral]

The real benefit of it is the 30% xp bonus though.

[flat ridge]

the ring says my healing-stat would be increased by +104, but it only increases by like 30 in my stats. you know how it works？
specifically this i wonder about

[open coral]

It shows base numbers, but those are actually scaled relative to your current level.

[flat ridge]

even less

[faint flare]

Determination/substats in general aren't a 1:1 increase

[flat ridge]

but how does that make sense? no way level 53 - level 70 is THAT much.
look. ring stats -> with -> and then without

im level 54... and 70 is max?

*for the ring

[wispy parcel]

70 was the level cap back in stormblood

[open coral]

70 is the highest level that earring syncs to.

[wispy parcel]

yea it scales to 70

stops being useful after

[open coral]

After that point it's actually worse than the Augmented Scaevan earrings.

[flat ridge]

yeah. my question is explained in those 3 screenshots above

[open ember]

There's no buffs from 70-80 because 80 is the current cap

[open coral]

Honestly it doesn't matter

[open ember]

Are you talking about ring stats for battle or just EXP buffs?

[flat ridge]

it increases by 15 at level 54.
and... you say it goes up to 104 at level 70?!?!

[open coral]

The amount of stats from any individual accessory are negligible at best.

But yes, it caps at +104 for that particular stat.

[wispy parcel]

the power creep in this game every 10 levels once you reach 50 is insane

[open coral]

Intellect?

My German's a bit rusty.

[flat ridge]

ah... okay? so level 1-30 is like... +5
level 30-40 .... 40-50 = +10 / +15
and then level 60 and 70 will be +50/+100 or something like that?

then that would solve the question. I didnt expect such a weird curve.

[open coral]

Don't try and figure it out. There's no point.

It's not giving you any significant amount of stats. That's all you need to know.

And once you hit 70, you can, and should swap it out for something better.

[flat ridge]

but i can ignore all the earrings until 70+, right?

[open coral]

Yes

[flat ridge]

kind of broken item then

[open ember]

Honestly you shouldn't figure out the math if I'm gonna be honest. Just think of it as buff to lv70

[open coral]

It's meant to be a leveling buff more than anything else.

[open ember]

Exactly numbers are kinda hard esp for armory bonus added in

There's too many factors to consider when gaining exp

Just level up and have fun

At least that's what I tell people

[flat ridge]

for the items you get here- Should i skip the level 60 versions later, and farm for level 70 versions?

[open coral]

No

[glossy flare]

nah, get the shire gear

poetics are very easy to come by

[open coral]

You should get the level 60 versions when you reach Idyllshire

[flat ridge]

my veteran friend said the equipment from here is good enough for level 50-60 without ever changing it

[glossy flare]

would be a waste not to spend them

Eh, it lasts comfortably until like 55

[open coral]

You can literally farm out enough poetics just by doing two or three days of roulettes.

[glossy flare]

60 might be a stretch, though it is possible

But you will notice severely diminishing returns towards the end

[open ember]

Or you can do dunegons for drops

After lv55

[glossy flare]

if it's your first job the MSQ will keep you geared

[open ember]

I forget that about one's first class running thru msq

Man it has been a while

[flat ridge]

does the MSQ always give me items for my first class i started the game with?

or current class

[glossy flare]

you can choose the quest rewards later

[open ember]

It should give a list of quest rewards

[glossy flare]

so you can pick whatever gear fits your current class

[open ember]

When you finish a quest

Since you're whm just get the healing gear when picking msq rewards

Gear up like that once you finish Stormblood get Sceavan gear

[glossy flare]

If it has Mind on it, then it is for healers

Also once you hit Stormblood stuff for healers will follow the "X of Healing" naming scheme

makes things simple

[open ember]

Ye ye

[flat ridge]

i already read up on what all the stats do roughly
i always calculate and minmax my games

[glossy flare]

Not really worth it before you hit 80 tbh, but hey... if it's fun 😊

If you really wanna get into minmaxing things...

!faq balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[glossy flare]

that's where the wise sages reside

[flat ridge]

there is no class with more skills than 3 command-bars, right? (excluding shared command bars like signals/recalls etc.)

[glossy flare]

yup

In fact there is no class that can do with less than 3 hotbars either afaik

[flat ridge]

would be cool if there were at least 1 overly simple and 1 needlessly complex class

[glossy flare]

There are still pretty simple jobs, no matter the amount of buttons you can press

[flat ridge]

for the people that play 3D chess and solve rubiks cubes in their free time for fun

[faint flare]

Summomer

[glossy flare]

And there's also the more complex ones but I wouldn't say any job requires a super IQ or something

[sullen lark]

Quick question, is there any point for doing crafter's quests other than the XP?

[faint flare]

Skills

[open ember]

Skills. Always skills

[sullen lark]

Ah okay, thanks

[open ember]

That's what job quests are for my dear

[faint flare]

The biggest skill manipulation is locked by quests

[sullen lark]

I thought that was mainly for jobs, not crafters/gatherer class quests 😛

[faint flare]

Nope for everyone

[flat ridge]

gathering jobs etc. are optional, right? (optional for combat in the long run)

[sullen lark]

Thanks ^^

[open ember]

Ah no most of crafters best skills are in Stormblood class quests

They are needed for expert crafting

[glossy flare]

You will never be forced to craft or gather something, no

So in that sense they are optional, yes

Still very beneficial if you do them though

[open ember]

Also

They do indeed give alot of exp anyway

I found the lv60-70 grind to be Ass

After getting all my crafters to 80

So its nice to have a boost

[fallow slate]

Where can I find info on what materia I should go for, as well as a general guide on gearing?

[flat ridge]

did i get this right? there are options to make skills be able to activate on a target i am "hovering over"?

without switching target?

[glossy flare]

!faq balance @fallow slate

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[glossy flare]

did i get this right? there are options to make skills be able to activate on a target i am "hovering over"?
@flat ridge With macros, yes

[open coral]

You can make what we call "mouse over" macros to allow you to do that @flat ridge

[fallow slate]

tysm

[open coral]

It basically assigns the spell commands to target the player whose avatar or name you're currently holding your cursor over.

[flat ridge]

just hovering over something with my mouse, without clicking on it. and i will not lose focus of the target i focus? So i keep vision on my tank, and can still attack with my wind and earth?

[open coral]

Or the enemy target

Yes, that's what mouse over is good for.

[flat ridge]

some in depth guide for it?

i would like to understand it as well

[glossy flare]

Be aware that you should not use a macro for skills on the GCD

[faint flare]

Do note that the macros are less efficient than manually doing it due to lack of skill queing

Thus losing several hundred casts

Over the course of the fight

And hindering overall performance

[glossy flare]

^

[vital ruin]

Okay so I looked around on Amazon and found a time card for 60 days but it says
"Currently, this item is available only to customers located in the United States."
But I'm in Asia

[flat ridge]

so there isn't really...

[vital ruin]

If I buy it will it work for me

[flat ridge]

except for a crappy version

[glossy flare]

well the mouseover thing is still useful for some niche cases

Like ground target abilites that are oGCD

[flat ridge]

would have been cool if SE edit something like that in. switching targets 24/7 is just annoying

[glossy flare]

The important thing is that relying on macros too much will hamper your performance

No they won't, it's by design

They want you to be skilled at that sort of thing

[faint flare]

Its by design to make botting harder to do

[open coral]

It's not that bad once you get the hang of it

[flat ridge]

well, the only useful case imo would have been to press my buttons for damage spells for healer

[faint flare]

All choices regarding macros is because of bots

[open coral]

Protip - you can use Tab to quickly retarget the boss after you've targeted an ally for healing.

[faint flare]

And F keys

[glossy flare]

I recommend getting familiar with focus targetting, especially as a healer

[faint flare]

For targetting party

[flat ridge]

i know that, that is the annoying part

[open coral]

Personally, I always focus target the boss (so I can keep an eye on their casts), and just monitor party health manually.

That's what works for me, but something different could work for you.

[flat ridge]

well. i am still confused on how to see when a boss uses their commands/abilities while i am not actively focusing them.

Shift+F doesn't seem to work for that

[faint flare]

It does

[twilit arch]

unless you changed the default keybind

[glossy flare]

at least by default, unless you have rebound shift+F

[faint flare]

The focus target shows whatever your focus target is casting

[open coral]

Unless you've moved it, the boss (and any adds you're in combat with) should appear at the left side of your screen, under the party list.

You can watch the cast bars there too.

[flat ridge]

but not in the original cast-bar i guess..?

[open coral]

Even if you don't have them focused

[eager widget]

I keep my focus target HUD element near my spells and cast bar so I can keep it in my peripherals

if that helps

[glossy flare]

no, the focus target has its own bar

[open ember]

I keep most my hud in the middle

[eager widget]

same estelle

[open ember]

So I'm not detterring away from combat

[flat ridge]

and the original target you can split in the layout, but focus you can't?

[open ember]

I don't like moving eyes up and down the screen so many times then I'm not paying attention

[eager widget]

correct, focus is a small box that shows you five buffs/debuffs, their hp, and their cast

[flat ridge]

i have the "cast-bar" for my target on 200% size... for focus target i have to increase the entire thing?

[glossy flare]

No, you can't split focus target sadly

[open ember]

That would be nice

[flat ridge]

for healers the focus-target is probably like... 100 times more important than the normal one.. no?

[open ember]

Uhh hmm

I'd say the normal one is more important than focus

[glossy flare]

Depends on your preference, really 🤔

[faint flare]

Theyre both important really

[glossy flare]

Some healers prefer to focus target the tank, some prefer the boss

[faint flare]

Especially when there's Multiple targets and such

Or just keeping a eye on the boss when its away

[flat ridge]

what do you focus the tank for?

[open ember]

Healing them?

Watching their health

[flat ridge]

but skills still go on the normal target, no?

[eager widget]

so you don’t have to constantly stare at the party list, that’s usually why people focus target tanks

[flat ridge]

if i have focus on tank, and target on boss, and then use vita... i will perform a self-cast. not on the tank

[eager widget]

Also a fun shortcut, to target whatever your target is targeting, hit T

[glossy flare]

If your tank does their job right and mitigates a lot then the amount you actually need to heal them, especially in boss encounters, can be rather small

in dungeons at least

[eager widget]

so if you’re targeting a boss and hit T, it moves to Maintank

[glossy flare]

So focus targetting the tank just to switch back to them if you need to is viable

That way you can dmg the boss more

[flat ridge]

i wish there was like a testing room in FF XIV

there isn't, right?

to test all my skills, and also how i want my UI

[faint flare]

There's dummies you can hit

[mystic yew]

sea, wind earth is kind of the test room

*stone sea sky lol

[faint flare]

Stone sky sea

[flat ridge]

would have loved a sandbox with 4 / 12 / 24 test-part members, and test-enemies that cast spells to test how i want it to look.

i basically have to adjust it in real dungeons and go afk during boss-fights

[faint flare]

You can use palace of the dead to adjust for 4mans, no one cares in there

[flat ridge]

so just asking again.. if the boss with purple/blue eyes (dragon breath / ram) casts his skill, it will show up on focus target?

[remote lintel]

yes

[flat ridge]

alright then. thanks for all the help

[remote lintel]

I also use focus on the boss

not party members

[flat ridge]

i heard some special lv 80 dungeons are quite difficult. so i need full control over all my teammates to heal them efficiently if needed

if the DPS make mistakes etc.

[remote lintel]

eh not really

dungeons are always easy

[flat ridge]

i mean dungeon as in any pve content, sorry

[faint flare]

You cant ever fully control your team mates

Outside of rescue

If they die for their mistakes, their fault

[remote lintel]

the only things that are really difficult are EX or savage

and you can't control your teammates

[flat ridge]

yeah, savage it was i think

well, if they don't die in 1 hit, i can heal them

[remote lintel]

if your teammates are making that many mistakes in savage then you're probably wiping

[faint flare]

They'll likely die in one hit if they fuck up mechanics without mitigation

[tulip plover]

Is the chocobo in omega quest line a chocobo from a different ff world

[remote lintel]

it's based off a chocobo from another ff game

I forget which

[tulip plover]

I think its from tactica

[faint flare]

Crystal saga or something

[tulip plover]

Tactics

[remote lintel]

also it was created by omega

[twilit arch]

Alpha is based off of the Chocobo series

Chocobo Dungeon I think is the first game in that series

[flat ridge]

where do you guys have your own buffs and debuffs?

[remote lintel]

default

[glossy flare]

to the right of my hotbars

[remote lintel]

I should make them bigger

[faint flare]

I only have my debuffs bigger cause I'm small brain and miss Nisi otherwise

[glossy flare]

same

[remote lintel]

that's what I did for e4s orbs

e5

[glossy flare]

out of curiousity, are there any overworld zones without an aetheryte? 🤔

[remote lintel]

hibterlands

[glossy flare]

hm yeah, because of Idyllshire

[faint flare]

Yeah hinderlands

[tulip plover]

So technically all the ff worlds are connectes through omega?

[remote lintel]

the godforsaken place

no

[faint flare]

Omega just created shit based on fairy tales

[tulip plover]

Ah ok

[glossy flare]

and happened to reference other FF games 🤷

[faint flare]

Which just so happen to relate to old ff

Aka the old hand waving it

[remote lintel]

basically the devs way to put old ff characters into ff14

[glossy flare]

Just like the Return to Ivalice raids happen to reference FF XII

[faint flare]

Because TOURNAAAAAAAAAAMENT ARCCCCCC

[glossy flare]

It was very fun

don't tell me otherwise

Would be fun though if Nier and XIV actually did coexist in the same world

also fucked up

[remote lintel]

when are the last Eden raids coming

35 or 4

[faint flare]

5.4

December

[glossy flare]

yeah 5.4

[remote lintel]

:C

[glossy flare]

yup, damn virus really fucked with the schedule

gotta live with the drought for now

[twilit arch]

raid tiers aren't introduced in minor patches

[leaden ginkgo]

What armor is this

[twilit arch]

chest is forgiven/chromite armor of fending

boots/legs are probably behemoth king

gloves are too i think

[remote lintel]

top shares model with chromite armor

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks guys

does it take long time to get sindri lux replica? :3

[agile laurel]

couple of weeks if you do nothing but that i'd say

[glossy flare]

all the relic weapons are a pretty major timesink

[agile laurel]

mmmhm

[leaden ginkgo]

are they quests? I have not tried for them before

[agile laurel]

yes and no

quests, but 'pls bring stuff' quests

[gloomy ice]

Anima relic is perhaps the easiest of the three previous but it is a huge poetics sink.

[agile laurel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/3x37zh/anima_weapon_guide/

[agile laurel]

that one.

[flat ridge]

is there a way to make the chat-mode stop when clicking outside the chat-box?

it is really really really annoying... every other game does it by default...

[remote lintel]

what do you mean make chat mode stop

[flat ridge]

as an example

[agile laurel]

i... thought it did?

[rotund sable]

it does with default settings

[agile laurel]

could just press escape too

[rotund sable]

you can change it though

[flat ridge]

even escape doesnt cancel it

you have to press double-escape

[remote lintel]

it unselects the chat box if you click off it

[rotund sable]

default settings both clicking off and pressing escape once takes you out of the chat box

[plain python]

world of darkness kinda hard to duty finder? I disband twice arleady 🤔

[glossy flare]

it's old content, so yeah, not many people doing it

[rotund sable]

world of darkness isnt hard, it just has a surprising amount of incomptent groups

[faint flare]

No people are just bad

Gaze too hard

[glossy flare]

the first boss has surprisingly unforgiving mechanics for an alliance raid

not hard mechanics

just unforgiving

[rotund sable]

if you're doing it for the first time i'd recommend looking up the boss abilities so you can at least tell people what to do, though i doubt they'll do it if you ask

that place has kinda become a mess tbh

[flat ridge]

okay... i see the problem. right-click does not work. and also if you hold right click during left click, even left click wont work

tanks for the info guys

[leaden ginkgo]

sorry for multiple question, just wondering how i get the zeta weapons? online it says that i need a quest The Vital Title, but I can not find it on my map. Maybe it is updated?

[flat ridge]

• Do you guys have Effects of other players enabled?
• do you have all names/ranks except for HP-bars off or on?

[glossy flare]

sorry for multiple question, just wondering how i get the zeta weapons? online it says that i need a quest The Vital Title, but I can not find it on my map. Maybe it is updated? :cattoblush:
@leaden ginkgo Zeta weapons are the last stage of the ARR relics

gotta go through all the previous ones first

[leaden ginkgo]

damn XD

[glossy flare]

the quest that starts it is in Vesper bay

[leaden ginkgo]

damn XD

[remote lintel]

i have "others" set to none

[glossy flare]

the quest that starts it is in Vesper bay

[remote lintel]

and i have all names and whatever turned on

@leaden ginkgo relic weapons are a quest chain with each quest being a "step" and upgrading the weapon

you can't just start wherever you want in the chain

also the ARR relics are the most grindy

[glossy flare]

by far

though Eureka also sucked

[remote lintel]

i did anima once and was like "im done"

[wispy parcel]

All of them are a big commitment

I swear I didn't like a single one of those questlines

but I'm still looking forward to the Resistance weapons

i am fine with commitment i want to look edgy c:

is there a need to have team-mates debuffs on enemies shown?

[remote lintel]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

its just confusing to me, because everywhere online it says different things

[remote lintel]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Relic_Weapons/Quest

[leaden ginkgo]

so now i am in vesper bay and the quest is the weaponsmith of a legend?

[remote lintel]

these are all the relic weapons and all the quests and what to do

follow that wiki

[random hollow]

how does one unlock sylphic vendors?

[glossy flare]

Some friendly debuffs/dots are important for everyone because you try to line up your stuff with certain buff windows

Like Ninjas Trick Attack

[leaden ginkgo]

0.0

[glossy flare]

so now i am in vesper bay and the quest is the weaponsmith of a legend?
@leaden ginkgo yes

[flat ridge]

damage numbers on enemies are also just clutter, right?

[leaden ginkgo]

and heres another question cus im stupid xD since i have the quest in vesper bay, that means i have finished the Pre-Requisite ?

[remote lintel]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks u guys are the best

[remote lintel]

@flat ridge not really

[glossy flare]

damage numbers on enemies are also just clutter, right?
@flat ridge Eh, I like them

[remote lintel]

they hardly clutter

i dont think i notice them like 80% of the time

[glossy flare]

When I play dps I usually go SAM, so I need my big numbers, otherwise I feel inferior

[plush hound]

@random hollow When you get the quest to unlock the beast tribe (Seeking Solace, unlocks from the MSQ "In Pursuit of the Past") you'll unlock daily quests to boost your reputation with them. It unlocks the vendor with a limited inventory. Increasing the rank allows a larger inventory.

[small rampart]

is there any ingame way to see how much dps do I do in a dungeon ?

[eager widget]

nope sadly

[small rampart]

and also the others

oh

[faint flare]

You need a 3rd party program for it

[eager widget]

the devs are convinced the community would use it to name and shame baddies

and they’re not wrong

[small rampart]

ye tbh I was just curious about myself doing bad or good

whatever

[glossy flare]

if you want to know, look up Advanced Combat tracker

[flat ridge]

how DO you change spell-effects to be removed?

[faint flare]

Party members to limited and others to off

In character config

[leaden ginkgo]

uhm... so I haven't played ffxiv since Shadowbringers release and I don't know how to get back into my ps4 account :/

[remote lintel]

did you buy a sub

[faint flare]

Character config > general > character

[leaden ginkgo]

ye

I bought one and had it for a month or two before I stopped playing lol

[remote lintel]

i mean did you resub

like now

[leaden ginkgo]

oh no

[remote lintel]

then you need to

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm broke right now

lol

[remote lintel]

well you cant play without one

[leaden ginkgo]

wtf

[faint flare]

Its a sub based game

So

[flat ridge]

lol... german.... This is "Control" 1:1 translated. it is "general" for you?

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm pretty sure I didn't even make it past level 35?

[faint flare]

Yes

[remote lintel]

its control actually

[faint flare]

Doesn't matter

Once you buy the game

You must sub

To continue playing

[leaden ginkgo]

but when I bought the game originally I didn't sub right away

[faint flare]

Doesn't matter

[flat ridge]

oh- i see.
(Then it's really weird to put spell effects in control)

[remote lintel]

you get 30 free days from buying the starter game

[leaden ginkgo]

sigh

[remote lintel]

after that you need to sub

[leaden ginkgo]

I bought the complete edition at the time since it was on sale

[faint flare]

Once you buy the game you're permanently locked out of the free trial

[remote lintel]

you had 30 free days

after those 30 days you need to sub

[leaden ginkgo]

REEEEEEEE okay

thanks

[keen fable]

how many people can use your friend code?

er

recruitment code

[rotund sable]

can we just straight up not buy unaugmented scaeven anymore?

[faint flare]

No

[twilit arch]

correct, you cannot buy unaugmented version of poetic gear

[faint flare]

All unaugmented tome gear is gone

For poetics

[red junco]

There's no point to buying unaugmented gear

[rotund sable]

thats unfortunate, i wanted a ring

a second ring that is

[twilit arch]

just buy dai-ryumyaku

[faint flare]

Or off market board

[rotund sable]

yeah i just wanted to check i couldnt get a better quality one

cheers

[tulip plover]

To do bahamut so you have to do every part once?

Cuz it has all parts unlocked

[faint flare]

Just turn 5, 9 and 13 for story

[tulip plover]

What about for trophy?

[faint flare]

Bahamut himself is also turn 13 so

[midnight slate]

Is new game + out?

[faint flare]

Yes

[halcyon glen]

for most stories

[faint flare]

Has been for awhile

[remote lintel]

not for ARR

[halcyon glen]

The most notable exception being ARR, which releases October 13

[faint flare]

Or Job stories

[halcyon glen]

Oh and those

dunno when they are though?

[faint flare]

🤷‍♂️

[midnight slate]

And if I start new game + on a low level job will it give me exp like it should

[faint flare]

No

[halcyon glen]

no

[midnight slate]

What’s the point?

[faint flare]

NG+ has no rewards

At all

[remote lintel]

to play the story

[faint flare]

Replaying story

[midnight slate]

[halcyon glen]

Replaying the story to see scenes you can't rewatch at the inn

[faint flare]

And redoing favourite solo instances

[halcyon glen]

^

[faint flare]

And see path/extra dialogue if you didn't meet the criteria for it

[wispy parcel]

Also to experience the main point of the game if you made the bad decision to buy a story skip

[tulip plover]

Mmmmm post arr 😋

[halcyon glen]

Speaking of leveling - i thought I heard somewhere the Vault was better than Gubal for level 59 characters, can anyone confirm or deny this?

[open coral]

Isn't Vault the level 57 dungeon? You always go for highest level non-cap level dungeon for leveling.

If you're 59, then it's the 59 dungeon.

[open ember]

That's what I was thinking

[little swift]

59 is great gubal nm

[open coral]

That's what I thought. I can't imagine why someone would suggest that doing Vault instead of Gubal would be best for a level 59 class.

[halcyon glen]

the explanation being that Gubal isn't as exp-efficient. or so i may or may not have heard. but that could also be the ramblings of a madman anyway so

[little swift]

That wouldnt be the case either

Youre closer to on level

You'd get more exp

Vault has all those arbitrary time gates

Not just walls but boss phase transitions

[idle juniper]

there any way to zoom out the camera farther than the max distance? like a setting buried somewhere in the menu or maybe some kind of file tampering i could do to zoom out a bit more

[glossy flare]

No, sadly

[manic flare]

do u guys use macros?

[glossy flare]

Some, yes

[idle juniper]

sad times

[manic flare]

what are some useful macros?

[idle juniper]

dont use macros for combat if thats what ur asking

[glossy flare]

i use them mostly for ground target abilities

to use them on whatever I have targeted or on whatever I'm hovering on

dont use macros for combat if thats what ur asking
@idle juniper Eh, generally yes, though some are actually useful

Just never macro a GCD

[idle juniper]

yeah id say if its like a raise macro or a ground target macro thats fine but anything else usually is a no

especially if its on gcd

bc macros dont get the spell queueing

[glossy flare]

it's not like ground targetting is any less iffy without the macro

[idle juniper]

yeah lol

its iffy either way

[manic flare]

what about this macro:

worth setting up?

for dps character

[idle juniper]

uhh. idk in what situation this would be useful

at least in a raid setting

[vapid veldt]

eh, pressing tab does the same thing

and is more versatile

[exotic ridge]

Is there a way to permanantly set the level for solo duty?

[glossy flare]

Set the level? What do you mean?

[idle juniper]

you could also switch your targeting to another button in the settings to something else, like mousewheel instead of tab

[muted dew]

anyone wanna help me im trying to make money but im not sure what ore or ingot to sell for the fastest profit. im only lvl 40 for both armorer and miner.

Well solo duty I hate, cant stand being made to do it there way, so i want to set it to v easy to stop me wasting time doing it getting right near the end and fail, i just want them gone

or as easy as poss

[glossy flare]

Oh you mean the difficulty, not the level

[exotic ridge]

yea

[glossy flare]

And no, afaik there is no way to permanently set it to anything

[exotic ridge]

feck ok

[dawn cradle]

About unsure about what army's paeon does -bard skill-

[faint flare]

It gives you a haste buff when your dots trigger the effect

[manic flare]

what does this sentence mean:

MCH is in the BLM spot compared to BRD and DNC and therefore will not have any buffs.

[agile laurel]

mch is a selfish dps

like blm

[manic flare]

huh

[agile laurel]

it provides nothing to the party, beside ranged physical mitigator

[untold sand]

is it confirmed if they will enable demolish on 5.35?

[manic flare]

doesn't tactician and peloton buff party?

[agile laurel]

tactician is what I referred to yes

[manic flare]

oh ok

[agile laurel]

and peloton is useless in fight so who cares

[manic flare]

what about summoner, isn't that like blm in the sense it provides no buffs?

[agile laurel]

Summoner has buff and a res

[agile laurel]

and yes it has a raise

[manic flare]

what's res?

[glossy flare]

revives people

[manic flare]

what does dancer have

[agile laurel]

literally everything

like, too much to detail in one sentence

[faint flare]

Dancer partner for 5% damage buff on 1 guy the whole fight

[agile laurel]

standard step, technical step, devilment, shield samba

[faint flare]

Techincal step for party damage buff every 2mins

Crit and dh buff for partner

Shield samba

Curing waltz

[wintry chasm]

espirit that it gets from your buddies doing skills

[manic flare]

oh so dancer is good for teamplay

but not as good for solo play?

[wintry chasm]

It is THE buff DPS

[faint flare]

Its good for solo

[wintry chasm]

It's definitely better in a party but not like it can't do solo

[agile laurel]

mch has no specific party bonuses
brd is... there, i suppose
dnc is an unbridled god at raising the dps of your party and nearly the objectively correct choice

[faint flare]

Standard step is 1k potency every 30s

[wintry chasm]

besides your chocobo companion helps in that regard

Can dance partner it

[manic flare]

can dancer heal?

[faint flare]

Yes

[manic flare]

oh wow that's useful

[faint flare]

Slightly

Second weakest heal in the game but its free

[manic flare]

if i want my summoner to have better physic, should i get an item that increases mind?

[faint flare]

You cant

[agile laurel]

no

[manic flare]

since physic heals less than my natural regen

[agile laurel]

physick does not exist for smn

[wintry chasm]

You just don't use physick

[faint flare]

Summoner can't equip minf stuff

[agile laurel]

remove it if you wish

[manic flare]

i use physic from time to time in boss fights

[agile laurel]

it is literally useless

you wasted your gcd, then

[faint flare]

You're literally wasting time

[manic flare]

it has prevented me from dying before

[faint flare]

Thats your healers job

Not yours

[agile laurel]

doubt. even if it did, at later levels it certainly won't

exponential health scaling

[manic flare]

@agile laurel well just for low level dungeons

[faint flare]

Physick doesn't even heal more than what shit autos for

Literally worthless

[open ember]

Physick for summoner is crap even in low level dunegon. Your healer's job to heal you, not yourself

[faint flare]

Using physick just means you made your healer heal more

Cause guess what

The mobs areny dying

[spare plinth]

what rdm skills are long cast?

[manic flare]

i dont use physic in mob fights

[spare plinth]

one that you need to use acceleration in

[faint flare]

Thunder and aero

[manic flare]

just sometimes in boss fights

[open ember]

Summoner is a dps class. Not a healer job. Don't cast phyick period

[faint flare]

Again

You made your healer heal more

Cause the thing isnt dying

You prolonged the fight

Thus made the healer and tank spend more resources

Physick is always a net loss

No matter which why you splice it

[leaden ginkgo]

hey how i get to thePrima Vista Tiring Room? I want to do the quest The City of Lost Angels

:3

[faint flare]

South of the markets by the tower up the stairs

[wintry chasm]

go to the airship landing in Kugane

[faint flare]

A npc will take you up

[wintry chasm]

^

[faint flare]

And into it

[manic flare]

are boss mechanics in stormblood harder to deal with than heavensward?

[faint flare]

Barely

[open ember]

Not really

[faint flare]

More the same

[vivid thorn]

does disabling floating text also disable floating numbers?

[faint flare]

Dont stand here, stand here

[calm phoenix]

Is there three alliance raids for Heavensward like there was for A Realm reborn?

[manic flare]

alexander

[open ember]

Yes

[faint flare]

Flying text is your damage and heal numbers, pop up text is other peoples damage and healing numbers

[open ember]

Void Ark, Weeping City and Dun Scaith are the alliance raids for HW

[faint flare]

Void ark series is Heavensward 24man

[open ember]

no Alexander raids are normal raids not alliance raids

[vivid thorn]

And you should run the SB ones if you think the ShB relic weapon makes for good glamour

[faint flare]

Starts with Sky pirates

[manic flare]

what is the purpose of wildfire for machinist?

[faint flare]

Damage

[open ember]

There's alliance raids for every expac. 3 each

[manic flare]

and gauss round

[faint flare]

Its part of your big burst

[manic flare]

i feel like gauss does very little damage

[faint flare]

Gauss is free damage

Its a off global and free damage

Plus heat blast refunds the cooldown

[open ember]

ARR: Crystal Tower raids
HW: Void Ark series
SB: Ivalice series
SHB: Nier raids

[faint flare]

Wildfire is part of your big burst and you aim to get 6 GCDs under it...5 heat blasts + 1 other

[open ember]

Sky Pirate quests starts in Ishgard next to the House Fortemps manor

And you need to have flying unlocked in the Sea of Clouds to even start Void Ark

Because that's the only way to get the npcs that start it

[manic flare]

what's the website with all the rotations?

[open coral]

Sky Pirates starts near the Ishgard Airship dock, not near House Fortemps.

[faint flare]

Balance discord has guides and rotations

!faq Balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[open ember]

Wait you're right

I knew it was in Ishgard

My brain did those quests a long time ago

[spare plinth]

people dont get mad at you if you'rea healer in normal raids?

[open ember]

No unless you're doing a shitty job

[open coral]

I mean, they might if you're really bad?

But generally if you at least keep people alive and do some dps, people won't get mad at you in any content as a healer.

[robust forge]

new to savage raids and people dont join party finder if its a practice run. Cant progress through the raids, dk what to do xd

[open coral]

Likewise as long as you keep aggro and don't eat every tankbuster without mitigation people will generally be okay with you as a tank.

[faint flare]

Find/make learning parties

Its super late into the tier

[vapid veldt]

savage tier is pretty dead atm so you won't have much luck with learning parties

[faint flare]

So number of learning parties are low

But just keep smacking your head against the wall

[manic flare]

the problem with alot of these guides is that they assume u have all the abilities for your class

i'm still in heavensward so i only have unlocked some of those abilities

[vapid veldt]

there are levelling guides for many jobs

[robust forge]

but the savage raids is the only way to get better gear right?

[faint flare]

99% of the time you can just remove the skills you dont have

[open coral]

Better than what?

[faint flare]

You can do puppets bunker and hunts for the upgrade mats for allegory

[open coral]

You can get ilevel 500 gear with allegory tomestones

[robust forge]

i only have those neo ishgardian stuff

[open ember]

I mean if you want ilvl500 then yes

[open coral]

Puppet's Bunker is the next best after Allegory at 480

[faint flare]

Puppet bunker for 490 and upgrade mats for allegory, SoSEX for 495 weapon

[open coral]

Oh, 490, mb

[open ember]

Bunker's gear is ilvl490

Same as unagumented Crystarium

[robust forge]

so im fine with not doing those raids for now?

[calm phoenix]

Why is it only showing crafter gear if I selected Summoner? My retainers are under-geared and I cannot upgrade then until they are level 41

[open ember]

Because it says "all classes" so it'll show anyway

[open coral]

Yeah, you can 100% not do the Eden raids on Savage and still have content-competitive gear.

Savage gear is only really necessary if a.) you want dyeable versions of the Eden gear or b.) you want the absolute BiS for your class (which might not even be 100% Savage gear anyways)

[vapid veldt]

savage gear is only necessary if you want to parse

[open ember]

I would say don't worry about savage raiding for now

Unless you absolutely wanna do it

[robust forge]

i just want end game gear

[open coral]

"End game" gear comes in several different varieties.

There's tomestone gear, which is end game gear.

[open ember]

Yeahh

[open coral]

There's Normal raid gear, which is end game gear.

[open ember]

There isn't "one kinda" gear for endgame

[open coral]

There's Alliance raid gear, which is end game gear.

There's crafted gear, which is end game gear.

And of course, there's Savage raid gear, which is end game gear.

[robust forge]

so as a new player which should i go for?

[open ember]

Crystarium imo

[faint flare]

Augmented crystarium

[open ember]

Yeah augmented

[open coral]

I would recommend Normal raid (Eden's Verse), Crystarium (Allegory tomestones), or Puppet's Bunker. Or some combination of the three.

[faint flare]

And filter in pieces with puppet bunker

Or augmented neo

[open ember]

Keep in mind that Bunker gear doesn't have accessories. Only body pieces

[vapid veldt]

note that some puppet's bunker pieces can sometimes be better than aug. crystarium for some jobs

[open coral]

Verse gear will be the easiest to get a full set of quickly.

Since that's the only one that doesn't have a weekly cap or lockout right now.

[faint flare]

Verse is equal level to Neo ishgardian

[open ember]

Well next tier will be better

[granite swan]

and you have RNG on your side to win pieces against 7 others every run :p

[open coral]

Just Need on everything until you have all the tokens you need. Easy.

[open ember]

For the current tier? Most people don't need that because most of them already have the gear

Its easier to get those pieces now since its not weekly anymore

[granite swan]

every time i did eden everyone needed on all the parts /shrug lol

[untold sand]

hmmmmmm is diadem shadowbringers?

[open ember]

No

[manic flare]

why is blue mage restricted job, is it because it's too OP?

[faint flare]

Yes

[open coral]

Diadem was HW

[robust forge]

ill do the verse gear first i guess

[faint flare]

It does some pretty stupid shit

[manic flare]

wdym by stupid

[open coral]

BLU gets to steal boss attacks to use for themselves

It's fun

[faint flare]

Casually killing bosses instantly

Casually

[granite swan]

a heal that heals half your current hp

[open ember]

Its insanely strong is what we mean by "stupid"

[manic flare]

can i use blue mage in normal dungeons?

outside of roulettes

[open coral]

A heal that heals your entire party to full with a single cast

[faint flare]

With premades yes

[manic flare]

so i have to do them unsync'ed?

[faint flare]

No

[open coral]

No, you can do them synced

That's the best way to get spells

[faint flare]

You can do them synced if you have a full party for that instance

[open coral]

Synced = 100% spell learn for valid spells

[manic flare]

if blue mage maxes out at level 60, does that mean it can't equip the high end gear?

designed for level 60+ characters

[calm phoenix]

Why 18m for an alliance raid? I thought DPS queues were quick for alliance raids

[granite swan]

you can equip them with high end 60 gear :p

[open coral]

They can equip Augmented Shire and Alexander Savage gear.

[faint flare]

It can equip tje high end gear for lv60

[open coral]

dps queues are never "quick"

[faint flare]

It mixes Alexander, shire and its unique Whalee gear

[granite swan]

except in deep dungeons, then dps que is quick :p

[manic flare]

can i use blue mage in frontline?

[faint flare]

No

That would be fucking insane

[open coral]

Nah, even for deep dungeons dps queues can be stupid long. Just everyone else's queues are the same.

[faint flare]

And destroy Balance

[granite swan]

BLU vs BLU vs BLU ... 30 min of fighting each other lol

[manic flare]

why dont they just nerf blue mage a bit and make it a normal class

[open coral]

White Wind going off left and right

I can see it

[open ember]

@calm phoenix if you're doing HW raids, they take the longest to queue for because people barely do them. Cuz they're not mandatory

[faint flare]

Because Blu isn't a normal job by default

[noble pollen]

I have every yokai minion, how do i get the mount?

[faint flare]

!faq yokai

[zinc orbit]

[faint flare]

See the bottom right

[noble pollen]

Yeah i have all of them

[faint flare]

Bottom right tells you

Where to go

[noble pollen]

Oh ty

[open ember]

Also alliance raids always take longer to queue cuz you're waiting for 24 ppl as opposed to 4 or 8

[half kraken]

Does gear for battle retainers not matter as long as it's over the req ilvl, even at 80?

[faint flare]

It does matter

There's a minimum breakpoint

Seen here

[half kraken]

Well alliance raids will actually be a faster queue if you're going as a dps

[faint flare]

!faq retainerbp

[zinc orbit]

What are the current retainer breakpoints for max yield?

BTN/MIN: 2083 Gathering.
FSH: 1628 Gathering.
DoW/DoM: Item Level 428.

[half kraken]

Thank you

Ok so only ilvl matters

[open ember]

It still takes longer than your average dungeon

[half kraken]

428 and done

[faint flare]

For combat

[half kraken]

👍

[untold sand]

does ishgard restoration unlock after dragon war or base heavensward?

[open ember]

Post HW

[faint flare]

After dragon war

[crimson wind]

Do fire spells take less time to cast in Umbral ice

[faint flare]

Patch 3.3 Litany of piece

Yes wol

[crimson wind]

kk

[faint flare]

Which is why you use Fire 3/bliz 3 to swap

And can also weave

[noble pollen]

Idk where jonathas or the old gridania is:/

[faint flare]

Again

Its shown

On the image

With coordinates

Old gridina is the part of gridina with the markets, botanist guild etx

[calm phoenix]

Now it says "more than 30m" for the raid and it has not even been 10 minutes. WTF?

[glossy flare]

#rants

wrong channel

you keep asking about estimates

I'm telling you, there is no way to accurately predict things

[granite swan]

Ive had it say 40 min wait and i got in 2 min later. Ignore that part of it

[calm phoenix]

I have yet to see a game this bad at estimates until FFXIV

[little swift]

Its an average for a reason

[glossy flare]

You can rant as much as you want, this is just not the channel for it 🤷

[little swift]

You could be on either end

[faint flare]

I had one game who didn't even bother to changw the estimate, was always 2mins

[little swift]

That is all

[calm phoenix]

And it popped after 13 minutes, lol

[faint flare]

It would do your best to not pay attention to it

Pretty much no one does these days

[crimson wind]

Average estimates are almost always accurate on my end

[faint flare]

Shit pops when it pops

[finite steppe]

Quick question for everyone that has fantasia'd recently: is there a way to save your current character appearance before editing it?

[open ember]

Yes

[crimson wind]

Yes

[open ember]

Right click on your character

And press "save appearance"

Or something like that

[finite steppe]

Awesome. Thanks guys 😄

[open ember]

Then put it in a save file

[crimson wind]

Square on controller

[little swift]

Should specify this is while in character select

Not in game

[open ember]

Yes thru the server lobby only

[granite swan]

I think it might even ask if you want to save current appearance once you use a Fantasia

[open ember]

Idk I always make a habit to save my appearance for my character

I fantasia alot so

[half kraken]

So uh is there any reason to do adventurer squadron missions after you get them all to 60

Apart from weekly priority missions

[gritty oracle]

leveling alt jobs, maybe. Pretty inefficient though.

[faint flare]

Free passive income of whatever their chemistry brings back

[keen fable]

how big do the stat differences need to be for ilevel to be not worth it?

for example, augmented scavian has better stats than the ilevel 415 gear

would it be better to get the 415 gear for ilevel?

[half kraken]

Higher ilvl is almost always better regardless of stats

[keen fable]

how do you know when it's not?

[half kraken]

It's very rare situations, you don't need to worry about it

[faint flare]

The 415 would be better if HQ

[keen fable]

and if its not hq?

[faint flare]

Then its trash

[keen fable]

gotcha

[faint flare]

Nq is effectively -30-40 ilvls

[keen fable]

could i ask how you come to that conclusion? i'm just wondering for the future

ah okay

[faint flare]

So NQ 415 would be like i380

Or something

[keen fable]

so just as a general rule of thumb, subtract 40 unless it's dungeon gear?

[faint flare]

If its normal quality crafted gear, aka vendor gear

[keen fable]

what about green & pink dungeon gear?

[faint flare]

That has full stats and are effectively HQ

[half kraken]

Generally you don't need to change your gear from scaevan until you hit 80

You can wear dungeon gear you get, but never need to buy crafted gear

71-79 I mean

[keen fable]

okay

thank you

[open ember]

Crafted gear isn't bad

[faint flare]

If its HQ

[open ember]

But dunegon drops are easier to get

[half kraken]

Just isn't worth the money

You'll be fine with scaevan at 79

[keen fable]

i mean, i can craft HQ gear super easily but

[open ember]

I just use dunegon drops

[keen fable]

i was just wondering for a friend

he's trying to see if its his gear is his problem

[open ember]

I highly advise against using Sceavan for healer and tanks after 75-76

[keen fable]

he's 78 as a drk

[open ember]

For dps its passable but for tank and healer its a bit more difficult

Well I mean

If you can do it with sceavan and you're fine then sure

I'm just saying general conensus is probably a no

I've run into too many tanks with full Sceavan at Mt Gulg and they have trouble surviving big pulls and or tankbusters

[keen fable]

what would he replace it with

[open ember]

Dunegon drops

[manic flare]

how does climate affect the gameplay

[open ember]

Or HQ gear

Weather is mostly used for fishing

But it doesn't do really anything for gameplay

[keen fable]

one more thing - why is ilevel so important?

rather than straight stats

[faint flare]

Ilvl is effectively your strength

Especially when you get to level caps and there's a largr amount of ilvl difference

[calm phoenix]

Why does my game keep targeting other players instead of the boss during alliance raids? it is constantly doing that and is very annoying when I cannot target the boss for 80% of fight

[keen fable]

in what sense? i'm confused

is it an invisible stat?

[faint flare]

No. Its just a way to show the strength level of equilivant items

[slate arrow]

it's because for the most part item level directly correlates with the strength of your main and substats

[faint flare]

Only time it doesn't is with normal quality crafted gear

[open ember]

Generally its higher ilvl = higher stats and strengths

[faint flare]

Higher item level will 99% of the time have more stats

[open ember]

There's a reason why some duties have an ilvl req

Most all duties I mean

[calm phoenix]

Nobody knows why the game is doing that?

[slate arrow]

All of them have ilvl requirements in DF now

[open ember]

Not for Titania and a few other no

[slate arrow]

@calm phoenix check your target filters in character settings

[queen zephyr]

Are you able to join free companies located on different worlds but the same data centre?

[faint flare]

And you might be accidently hitting the touchpad and causing it to click

No aaron

[open ember]

No only same server as your own

[faint flare]

FCs are server locked

[queen zephyr]

ah, ok, thanks for the quick answer

[calm phoenix]

I am not on PS4 so my controller does not have a touch pad. I am using a PS3 controller with SCP drivers on PC

[open ember]

You can edit targeting filters

To have them not target other players in other alliances

[keen fable]

ah thank you

i appreciate it

[calm phoenix]

I thought that I had that disabled already. I can check again

[keen fable]

after looking at the market board, i realized that it shows NQ gear unless you click into it and view the HQ listings

[calm phoenix]

After the cutscene

[plain python]

does monk and dragoon use slaying type armor?

[open ember]

No

[faint flare]

Market board shows both, hq usually further down due to hire price

[open ember]

Monk shares gear with Sam

[faint flare]

Dragoon uses maiming

[half kraken]

Monk/sam/drg uses slaying up to 60 I believe

No only tanks use fending

At 70 they split into maiming and slaying

[manic flare]

in dungeons that are ilevel synced, your gear is weakened, compared to dungeons that aren't ilevel sync'ed?

[faint flare]

Its synced to the highest ilvl of that period

So its the same

[manic flare]

what do you mean

[faint flare]

Take lv50 dungeons

[manic flare]

yes

[faint flare]

Highest ilvl of that period is 130

[eager widget]

if it’s synced to i130, i500 gear is as strong as i130

[faint flare]

So with no further ilvl sync, you're synced to i130

Which is why castrum and praetorium are fucking face rolls

Cause everyone is effectively in i130 when its designed for i50

[calm phoenix]

Why do I always roll under 10 for minions?

[faint flare]

With further ilvl sync, aka that yellow box next to instances in duty finder, you're synced to that specific ilvl

[eager widget]

bad juju on your part

gotta raise your karma

[faint flare]

Sacrifice a few lalafells and spin on your head 69 times

[graceful prairie]

is there a big difference between the 3 alliance ?

[agile laurel]

the grand companies?

no

just go whichever you prefer the looks of

[formal night]

spoiler: they all wear dumb hats
