That's... An entirely false argument, and not the point I was trying to make. SB content shouldn't affect ShB content. Especially not as something niche as an Alliance Raid.

you can join an fc

Ohhhh thx
drifting current
I wouldn't say that joining an FC first thing is the best idea, though.
@opal lance For now, I'd try to get an invite to the Novice Network. It's not the best place, but there are mentors who actually do their job and can give you tips while you're in-game, as well as other Novices who will probably be looking for people to do content with.
It's like an FC, but without all of the things specific to FCs that are like as not to cause drama and leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Less than telling him to blindly jump into the FC recruitment with no idea what he's doing beforehand.

How do people know when an S Rank is going to spawn before it does? I had a five minute warning in Limsa (pulling at spawn) when I did the S Rank
obsidian patio
Keeping track of the spawn windows and making it spawn with whatever method it needs
Or if it’s spawning rule is based on something like weather cycles or the phase of the moon, you wait for that to happen
(Yes some S ranks do use those as spawning requirements)
The S rank in South Shroud, for example, spawns on a New moon if its spawn window is open.

Giant toad in Western La Noscea.

That one spawns based on gathering an unspoiled item that spawns every ~36 minutes

Is there no list for attacks that are considered tank busters?
crimson wind
most tankbusters are pretty obvious
obsidian patio
No super complete list of everything. Guides for extreme and savage content tells you which ones are which.
crimson wind
imo
obsidian patio
But generally if they sound pretty painful they’re likely a tank buster.
crimson wind
Just use reactionary mitigation if a cast bar makes it sound like a tankbuster
strange coral
If you're doing stuff blind, it's usually the 1st or 2nd cast. And you can usually survive one in casual content, so you know to watch for it next time.
obsidian patio
Yeah, tank busters in dungeons or normal trials/raids rarely need mitigating it if you’re at full hp
leaden ginkgo
So there are no tank busters in regular dungeons?
crimson wind
kinda
obsidian patio
Here and there, yes.
obsidian patio
You’re likely better off searching up a guide for the duty in question to see the tank busters that it may have
crimson wind
In shadowbringers dungeons tankbusters become more common
faint flare
They vary from casted to instant in dungeons
crimson wind
Instant busters really fade out of question after level 60
A lot of the time bosses will say something before a tankbuster in Raids and Trials

Hey guys I have a question about an old linked Square Enix Account for FFXIV to PSN. I don't remember the E-Mail Address AND the password. Do you guys think it would be possible to unlink this old account from my PSN Account through the Support, so that I can link a new SE-Account I want to use to the same PSN-Account?
This old account only has the free trial active and has not bought the game.
I hope this still counts as a FFXIV related question.

I want to play SCH cause of the aesthetic but people keep calling it the worst healer and the pet scares me
glossy flare
Dungeons are the most efficient way of leveling

Especially on healers since their queue times are very short
ripe hound
I wouldn't say it's the worst healer but it's definitely the hardest
glossy flare
read: instant
glossy flare
Yeah you don't have to worry about the pet at all, it just heals
agile laurel
people just play scholar reactively when they're not comfortable rather than proactively and suffer hard as a result
ripe hound
The pet is all well and good until you hit your AOE regen during a big pull and your pet didn't reach your tank
agile laurel
played comfortably and proactively I can heal entire dungeons as sch at level 70 pressing one button every 45 seconds and spamming dps
ripe hound
But yeah, even Noct AST can be played quite reactively, where SCH is you just can't
agile laurel
but i wouldn't recommend that i just did it to see if i could
ripe hound
But yeah, SCH is definitely the hardest to get into
agile laurel
if you're OK with putting the time into sch it's fine
it's just weird coming off whm
and the early levels suffer a bit
ripe hound
Yeah, I came off AST, I was expecting it to be kind of similar to Noct AST
sour ruin
I haven't played WHM either but I've been levelling AST as my off class and having a ton of fun
ripe hound
But wow it's like nothing is the same
marsh thicket
i think i will go with ast then
sour ruin
Do it! Just watch WeskAlber's video or something to get how cards work
agile laurel
ast/whm share many conventions
marsh thicket
or maybe try to get my whm to max lvl first, then do the asto thingy
agile laurel
sch does not
ripe hound
Yeah AST and WHM share a lot of common stuff
AST is basically WHM but all your casts are shorter so you can weave cards
agile laurel
if you know what you're looking at as ast you'll be able to pick up whm VERY easily since cardless astro is a diet white mage
ripe hound
Where my first day on SCH is like "what do you mean I have 4 attack buttons?"
marsh thicket
OHHH
ripe hound
Like the part where you have two of those "press 1 to attack" button on SCH is the most challenging to me
agile laurel
sch requires proactive thinking and flourishes if you don't panic and know exactly what you can do
eh hardly ruin 2 is just The Weaving Button
sour ruin
In a weird way that kinda fits the class fantasy right?
agile laurel
yeah

I'm so used to the AST's Press 1, during the cast think what you want to do, then weave, and press 1 again
agile laurel
ye
ast has short cast times to weave with, sch has Ruin 2
whm has dia and sadness
ripe hound
For SCH it's more like you need to think what you need to do first before you start pressing your attack button
glossy flare
and holy spam
ripe hound
I'm just so used to AST where you press attack then think
So yeah, it's an extremely minor difference but makes the two class feel really different when playing

deep dungeon assuming your DPS queues for dungeons are as long as they usually are

@strange coral Inn rooms/apartments, do they have to be bought like private housings?

@raven sage True. Just that I personally don't want to make people have to do that.
wintry chasm
Yeah Niji
coral comet
How do I do the thing
wintry chasm
Just go to character config and then go to the hotbar settings
and make sure hotbar 5 is set to NOT be shared
coral comet
I don't wan the number to show when it isn't on dnc though
wheat plume
Number of party finders for it
@faint flare What's that exactly? Number of parties i'm queuing at the same time?
coral comet
that's the problem
faint flare
Turn off unassigned slots
faint flare
No, how many parties are in party finder which is a thing which lets you make your own parties for a thing
Character config > turn off unassigned slots and hotbar numbers
coral comet
I know how to turn off unassigned slots. What I want is hotbar 5 to be visible ONLY when I have dnc equipped. I use that hotbar so I can know what procs I have at a glance without having to actually pay attention to my regular hotbars. But I don't want that big fat number to be visible when I don't have dnc up. does that make sense
faint flare
Turn off hotbar numbers

but I need numbers for my 4 main hotbars. can I turn it off per hotbar per class? or only per hotbar? 😭

Huton brings your gcd to roughly 2.0 you can easily still double weave there

You can buy when you feel you need the market board use and what not

faint flare
You wont be able to solo unless you have high aetherpool
wheat plume
Then why is PotD better than dungeons for fast exp if I still need to queue?
twilit arch
Because generally the queues for potd, for dps, are faster than dungeon queues as they don't require a strict party setup

Then you go

And that may seem weird, but i think MSQ is pretty boring

Or 4 healers

early msq is not that amazing, its a lot of world building

Potd uses the duty finder to get you a party

you mean I'll eventully get behind ?

It catches up eventually
Depending how much extra/side content you do
And how many daily roulettes

MSQ experience also slows down during patch MSQ and shadowbringers leveling

I have the ability Collector's Glove, but no collectables ever show up when I'm at a level 50 node and try to use it. Am I doing something wrong?

not everything can be gathered as a collectable
if you approach a node and you use the glove, and the item becomes something you can gather, you select it and use various appraisals to increase the collectability.
once you have done that enough you collect it a bunch
ashen garden
So I should just keep checking at the level 50 nodes until I stumble across something collectable? Or are there certain nodes to do it at?
