moltres, thordans reign can be completed solo by a 70 healer

Do Diadem monster drops change at 80? The lists i find list stuff i havent seen drop from them lol
calm phoenix
I only die on one mechanic. The first throw mechanic. I tried standing in the middle and everywhere else and I still get pushed into the instant death edge. I have been needing only one rez each try until everybody dies
granite swan
Have you tried Surecast for that one?

The first throw mechanic?
granite swan
well it says 5.31?
calm phoenix
Or is it a push mechanic? Something pushes me to the edge. I survive the later one
Just not the first one
proud willow
the part where 3 of them dash through the center, I guess
faint flare
There's only 1 pushback that you cant avoid which is where you stand centre
twilit arch
what mob/drops
faint flare
The triple dash needs you to stand around at the side in the safe spot where a knight wont dash through
proud willow
There will be safe spots along the edge during the triple dash, where none of them hit you

Well i killed a Doblyn and got Ore/Ash i needed but the websites list nothing he dropped heh

First knight I believe is the one that throws me to the edge, there is another about halfway through the fight that I survive

The first knight just does damage based on its hp when he finishes casting sacred cross

Do jump potions finish + quests as well? Since I have two Arcanists (Main summoner, and Rydia) and if I jump Rydia when I get to Shadowbringers on my main, does that other character still need to unlock + quests such as optional dungeons and such?

Story skip completes story quests and aether current quests (though you can still accept them for the xp)
twilit arch
job/lvl skips are for that character
it does not complete content of any other character
wispy parcel
You will still need to unlock optional dungeons and the like
calm phoenix
I understand that not what I asked. I mean when I playthrough manually on mine, Moltres Rider, I want to jump Rydia Mystt to the same area
I see, Sorawild
twilit arch
the only content the story skip completes is stuff that's required for msq or completes aether currents
all the optional lvl 50/60/70 dungeons still have to do and unlock, same with the raids and alliance raids (unless again its required for msq)

If you want to unlock the Stormblood relic weapons, you need a level 70 job first

Each expansion has its own relic weapon. If you're interested in the Shadowbringers relic weapon, Dramatis Personae is indeed the start for the prerequisite SB alliance raids that are required

if you can't find the quest, you might have already picked it up

but i cant start Dramatis Personae

How do people usually tank wolex?
Is it usually that the current main tank is always treated as the north tank?
Or does the north tank at the beginning of the game always stay north for mechanics?
Or do people just tank swap twice per Tank Buster?
halcyon glen
My group double swapped
agile laurel
@ripe hound It varies depending on what the group finds simple/melee like positionals
On whether north tank is situational or not
Sometimes MT is always treated as north spot, and sometimes tanks stick to partners for mechs at all costs
ripe hound
Yeah, I'm doing a lot of PF wolex recently
little swift
Or do people just tank swap twice per Tank Buster?
@ripe hound nah just have the ot tank over the north spot
ripe hound
I feel like it's just different for everyone
little swift
double swapping will just pass the aggro back to the tank with the vuln
ripe hound
I mean swap, wait 15s then swap again
little swift
no point tbh
ripe hound
Yeah
little swift
it makes 0 difference
ripe hound
I personally prefer the current MT always do north mechanics

@patent citrus in a dungeon you mostly only heal the tank
so after you heal them you hit t to continue dps

What is leveling roulette and why do people keep talking about it
twilit arch
levelling roulette is unlocked at lvl 16 after you've completed your second dungeon
its talked about a lot because it gives a pretty hefty chunk of exp every day
open coral
It's the first and earliest way to start speeding up your leveling process, basically.
halcyon glen
Yep
twilit arch
you can, but you need to pull the ability from the scholar part of the skill section not the pet
twilit arch
you're looking at the pet ability
halcyon glen
Oh wait I was thinking of something else
twilit arch
There essentially 2 "fey illumination" skills
patent citrus
oh that one, right
twilit arch
your skill, as the scholar, and the fairie's
patent citrus
ok ok ty
when i use dissipation however
does it get rid of my ongoing faerie skills?
like whispering dawn and fey illumination
dissipation is the skill that convert faerie into 3 aetherflows
halcyon glen
It does disable those yes
little swift
It doesn't allow you to use them
halcyon glen
Use dissipation when you need panic healing
little swift
But if they're already casted it doesnt remove the buff
You can plan for dissipation
So you get more energy drains out
halcyon glen
It’s an extra refresh of your Aetherflow to get some extra Lustrates or whatever off for healing checks, or if you’re confident you don’t need fairy healing for a time you can get bonus Drains
patent citrus

LD is short for Living Dead

Powered by XIVAPI
eager widget
it’s Dark Knight’s ultimate, where if activated and they reach 1 hp they enter a near death state
if they don’t get healing equal to a full hp bar by the time the countdown ends, they die
(this doesn’t mean they HAVE to hit max hp, just a max hp amount of healing, so if they take damage during the countdown, your progress isnt reset)
red jackal
Maybe they meant id? because it was in a lower level dungeon....
red jackal
I believe it was in reference to a party member dieing.

was it during a bossfight?

Was it directed at a healer and during a trial?

terse kindle
That's something that eso does really well
remote lintel
it gets better after the base game
jade quartz
But there is far too much dialogue in this game for all of it to be voiced
terse kindle
Getting the latest expansion, gets me the ones before?
jade quartz
And reading ain’t a big ask ngl
remote lintel
yes
terse kindle
If I remember there was a expansion coming soon, has it come out yet or?
jade quartz
There is no expansion coming soon
terse kindle
The base game is just the sub right?
jade quartz
No you have to buy base game
cyan fable
If I do a low level dungeon does the exp scale to my level?
remote lintel
no cream
terse kindle
Oh yeah, that's with wow nvm
cyan fable
terse kindle
But buying the game gets me 1month?
jade quartz
@cyan fable no, but if you do roulettes it does
terse kindle
Alright, I'll go some vids
jade quartz
To be precise
remote lintel
its no bother
also the free trial is capped at lvl 60 and lets you play the base game and first expac if you didnt know
jade quartz
Starter edition contains the base game A Realm Reborn, and the first expansion Heavensward (which is also what the free trial gives access to)
Shadowbringers retail purchase gives access to the other expansions: Stormblood and Shadowbringers.
Or you can buy the complete edition which is just all of the above bundled into one purchase
jade quartz
cyan fable
Do you get anything if you complete the entire hunting log/
jade quartz
Exp
If you complete the entire hunting log for a class you get a ring
Which isn’t very useful but it can be put in the armoire
So whatever
remote lintel
dont you get a mount or something or was that something else
jade quartz
No mount
brave ravine
you have to have a squadron, and spend a few days leveling them up
once they hit lev 20+ you'll get a squadron mission that will unlock command missions
cyan fable
Oh so they take awhile, is there a point in doing them?
brave ravine
for casuals, it's a really good way to level w/o waiting in queue
regal pecan
So I haven’t played any FFXIV since summer. How does the free trial update effect people who bought HS prior? I never touched HS and my sub obvi ran out
twilit arch
it doesn't affect you
because you've already bought the game, so you have to sub to play
jade quartz
You can’t go back on the free trial with an account which has purchased the game

is there a guide for gearing retainers minimally but still functioning?
jade quartz
!faq retainerbp

glad comet
Speaking of retainers, I can give them AF4 gear right?
faint flare
If they're that job Yes
glad comet
yeah, my DRG retainer is almost at 80 so
then plan to slowly replace with dungeon drops
cyan fable
Did they make judge armour available?
jade quartz
No
silent zodiac
Can you join a friends POTD run if you werent apart of it orignally?
faint flare
No
silent zodiac
Even if they save and exit and requeue with me? we have to go back to floor 1?
faint flare
Once its a fixed party it cant be editted. You can only change fixed party to matched which effectively disbands it
twilit arch
they would have to start a new save
silent zodiac
Is there anything at all we can do to not start on floor 1?
twilit arch
clear floor 50 to unlock the 51-60 check point
faint flare
Start at 51 after unlocking that
twilit arch
tostart there
silent zodiac
thanks guys

if say i've gotten the suzaku doggo, is there any more use to suzaku totem?

buying the weapons for desynth

oh makes sense, ty
terse kindle
My friend is having a issue
Hes trying to play the trial but it keeps asking him to put on the game key
twilit arch
where did he download the game
twilit arch
if he downloaded from SE's site and its asking for registration key it sounds like he downloaded the full game and not the trial
!faq freetrial

stone tartan
on leveling as dps, is it better to queue for leveling DR or highest level dungeon?
twilit arch
duty roulette should be done once a day for the daily bonus
after that if your dungeon queues are under 15 minutes do highest lvl dungeon (barring 50/60/70). If they're 15+ then do potd/hoh/trust dungeons
stone tartan
thanks
hybrid bramble
What exactly is the purpose of gear set list? Is it for glams or a gear for each class? I plan to make a gear set list for BLM and RDM
obsidian patio
They didn’t download the trial launcher then
warped nest
@hybrid bramble gear set
jade quartz
Gear sets are how you change class with one button press
warped nest
So when you swap job
faint flare
So you can easily swap jobs without having to equip gear again
warped nest
You just swap gear set
jade quartz
You have a saved gear set for each class
warped nest
You can save multiple gearset for a class (but this is very niche situation)
faint flare
Plus you can link glamour plates to said gear sets for seperate glamours
warped nest
Think of gearset in Monster Hunter World/Iceborne if you are familiar with that game
hybrid bramble
Oh okay, because I seen my boyfriend swap class gears instantly, so i was wondering how he did that, so basically he used gear set list to swap class?
terse kindle
@obsidian patio he's saying he made the account through the trial website and that is the launcher they gave him
hybrid bramble
gotcha, thanks everyone!
obsidian patio
Copy the download link in the free trial faq and send that to them

Where is the link tho?
sweet leaf
when looking at (low level) tank equipment, is defense and magic defense more important than the other stats like strength, vitality, determination, tenacity, and/or skill speed?
jade quartz
Right there where it says download
granite swan
@sweet leaf Item Level above all
sweet leaf
specifically just looking between these
crisp ether
left is better
sweet leaf
that's what i was thinking, but i wanted to double check, ty
jade quartz
Disciple of War gear is for dps whereas the coif is for lancer/dragoon. Neither are specifically tank gear even though they are equippable due to early game gear design weirdness
little swift
right is better for tanks because of the defense
jade quartz
But out of those two, yes I would pick left
little swift
but for dps 100% left
jade quartz
Double the VIT and dps increase
crisp ether
i dont think the defense at lower levels is going to make a huge difference
jade quartz
Whereas 9 defense is small
vapid veldt
no point losing sleep over such a trivial decision anyway
little swift
if you do that on enough pieces it will make a difference but its also lower level dungeons
so 
jade quartz
Yeah it’s pretty minor either way since neither are actually even tank gear
sweet leaf
yeah i'll outgrow it
crisp ether
unless you're trying to pull the first room of aurum vale all at once you'll be fine
sweet leaf
i'm still very new to tanking
i think i must have done something wrong in Sastasha yesterday
terse kindle
Sorry for being annoying
sweet leaf
the healer was healing me throughout the dungeon, but as soon as we get to the boss, he just up and quits, and i died
crisp ether
sweet leaf
and then they beat the boss, and he's the first to leave
terse kindle
But we can't seem to find the download button on that trial faq
crisp ether
that doesnt seem like your fault
sweet leaf
the arcanist had to res me
crisp ether
i mean did the heaaler say anything?
sweet leaf
i don't think so, but i pay so little attention to things that pop up on my screen
inadvertently
not on purpose, i just don't notice stuff
nowadays i like to commend dps players because they really don't get enough. it's always healert that get the most. I just wish i gave it to the ARC instead of the MNK
jade quartz
Arcanist is ACN btw
sweet leaf
ah ty
remote lintel
@terse kindle you click the download link and it automatically downloads
jade quartz
Without more detail we can’t really know what happened

But he doesn't see the download link on that q and a
zinc orbitBOT

He is
remote lintel
"download"

Can you screenshot it?
sweet leaf
also a piece of advice for new players that I only just found out yesterday, turn off hotbar sharing. It was very frustrating having several hotbars not change when i would switch to a different job.
remote lintel
remote lintel
remote lintel
@sweet leaf you should have a few hotbars shared so you dont have to keep putting back stuff like gysahl greens and mounts and whatever
sweet leaf
yeah it was only bars 1 and 2 and mayb 3 that were not shared. My hotbar 4 was the issue and i just unshared all of them lol
crisp ether
i share like 8/9 since i use those for misc stuff
remote lintel
you dont need 10 hotbars for 1 class
elfin edge
I have my job switching hotbar shared as well as stuff like aether compass and limit break and duty action
crisp ether
i needa setup a job hotbar
sweet leaf
job switching hotbar?
remote lintel
a hotbars with all your gearsets
jade quartz
Where all your gear sets are
sweet leaf
my gearsets are all on my character page
jade quartz
...
remote lintel
yes you can put them on hotbars
crisp ether
yeah but this way you dont have to open that every time
patent citrus
if a boss is too large and im in melee range
remote lintel
so you dont have to open character menu
patent citrus
is there any way to see the boss health?
remote lintel
the target bar?
sweet leaf
i didn't even know you could put them on a hotbar
jade quartz
Yeah and you can put them on hotbars and not have to click like four extra times every time
elfin edge
you can focus target the boss
jade quartz
Your mounts and minions go on Shared hotbars
elfin edge
and put the focus target bar further down if that helps
jade quartz
Some system shortcuts like macros and gold saucer or whatever
Emotes
Gysahl greens
Shared hotbars are extremely useful and helpful
sweet leaf
the only problem now is trying to figure out where to actually put these hotbars on my screen
jade quartz
That’s why they exist
remote lintel
the corner
jade quartz
Corners or sides
sweet leaf
i have no corners or sides available
remote lintel
jade quartz
Shrink stuff
sweet leaf
shrink?
remote lintel
you can change the size of elements in hud layout
jade quartz
Even on a tiny laptop you should have more than enough room
remote lintel
click on the element and click the cog icon
jade quartz
Sounds like you need some teaching how to customise your HUD more effectively
We have a channel for it, #protips-and-ui

How do I change from BLM to RDM? It says that in order to equip red mage crystal; i have to change class, but i don't know how, and it won't let me accept RDM quest without changing class
jade quartz
Equip the rapier
faint flare
Weapon determines your job
jade quartz
Make sure to save your BLM gear set first though
halcyon grail
Is Walking Dead bugged?
jade quartz
And then save a new gear set for RDM

@halcyon grail no not at all

Fail how?
patent citrus
didn't heal full hp
unreal aspen
hey i left a trial in a fit of rage and have a 30min penalty, whats the best way to get exp on a lvl 79 class in the meantime?
halcyon grail
Activated it, saw the status for first stage and died regardless
unreal aspen
i already did pixies, should I just do sidequests now?
faint flare
You need to be healed equilivant to full hp
hybrid bramble
I saved BLM gear @jade quartz
obsidian patio
Sounds like you turned it on too late
faint flare
Otherwise you arill die
halcyon grail
No, it didn’t go into second stage
unreal aspen
also disclaimer i have never left a duty before no matter how bad but i only get steps of faith in trials roulette and i just couldn't do it anymore
obsidian patio
Yeah you turned it on too late
faint flare
Then you got server ticked and activated too late
jade quartz
Then you turned it on too late or ten seconds passed and it wore off
oak ice
What was it that killed you? Some attacks go through it
halcyon grail
How much time do I need to give this piece of shit
jade quartz
???
halcyon grail
Regular adds
jade quartz
About 0.7 seconds
obsidian patio
Like a second at most
halcyon grail
Nothing exotic
jade quartz
Gotta actually plan out
halcyon grail
Yeah I’m not being split second
halcyon grail
I’m using it when it’s clear healer can’t save me
terse kindle
I've just seen on instant gaming the complete edition for 20€, is that a realist price?
hybrid bramble
Do gear sets save itself, or do i have to save it manually?
faint flare
Save manually
obsidian patio
You need to save them
faint flare
Get into the habit
patent citrus
anyone knows what skill breaks continuation skill? is it sonic break?
faint flare
The normal combo breaks it
patent citrus
an yeah beside that
halcyon grail
Latest instance was in the Livia dungeon, took a big spike after stun
elfin edge
castrum?
halcyon grail
Yes
patent citrus
ah yeah sonic break breaks continuation 🤔
soft flicker
i feel like im doing something wrong
jade quartz
Dying at all in castrum is very concerning ngl
halcyon grail
I get stunned by the mob after cutscene
jade quartz
@soft flicker are you doing it for MSQ? Then having synced higher level gear can be majority of that gap
patent citrus
what's livia dungeon?
halcyon grail
Take a spike
jade quartz
Well you can’t use LD while stunned
soft flicker
im doing a 50/60/70
jade quartz
You used LD too late then. 0.7 seconds delay.
obsidian patio
@terse kindle I do not suggest using that site as it is a key reseller
obsidian patio
And in the case that your code was one bought from a stolen card you can lose access to your account
halcyon grail
Their was a good second between
jade quartz
We’ve had people report issues with such sites before
halcyon grail
Unless server tics really slow
terse kindle
I've spent more than 100€ there
elfin edge
maybe some sort of lag?
terse kindle
But never for an mmo
jade quartz
You stood in an AoE? In that case the damage registers when the AoE puddle disappears not when the animation and damage number goes out.
oak goblet
i’m stuck on the gift of eternity
i’m a summoner and my ilvl is pretty high but those sahagin overwhelm me so fast i don’t even have a chance
any tips? i’ve been at it for almost 2 hours i’m about to give up
obsidian patio
@terse kindle if you feel like it’s safe then go for it, but MMOs generally take stolen credit card game codes more seriously
soft flicker
@jade quartz it was just a 50/60/70 roulette btw
granite swan
@oak goblet Have you tried it on Very Easy?
jade quartz
@soft flicker then the issue is probably with your play I’m afraid
soft flicker
yeah, im just not really sure what i could be doing wrong
there doenst seemt hat much to the rotation at this level
jade quartz
Reread guides on your AoE rotation
Are you multidotting with bane, using Garuda, and everything?
granite swan
@oak goblet Are you using topaz or emerald?
oak goblet
wym ?
granite swan
the pet
faint flare
What summon you using
oak goblet
i’m using garuda
faint flare
Use Summom 2 for the shield if you need
obsidian patio
just walk around the sahagin, you can hug the walls for the most part to avoid the clumps near the gate
jade quartz
The objectives are just 3x defeat enemies that spawn at destination
When you say your ilvl is high
How high?
oak goblet
it’s like 90 when 6 quests ago i needed a 42 one
oak goblet
my weapon is ilvl 70 probably the lowest i have
obsidian patio
Go to mor dhona and use your tomestones of poetics to get an ironworks weapon
jade quartz
Er is it normal quality crafted?
oak goblet
i got it out of the story crates
oak goblet
and snap i forgot about tomestones gonna do that
jade quartz
Well going to get Ironworks is your best bet anyway
oak goblet
or should i try it again and save the tomestones for later?
jade quartz
This is the best thing to spend Tomestones on
obsidian patio
You get tons of poetics, no need to save them
granite swan
oh thats a lv 50 quest, i thought it was the 30ish one lol. could also try ifrit for more damage, garuda can over pull with its aoe
sweet leaf
what's the difference between a shared hotbar and a cross hotbar

does damage boost skills also affect dots?
or does it just boost the initial damage
proud willow
Dots snapshot, so whatever boost you had when it was applied, it keeps that boost for the whole duration
and getting a boost after the dot is already applied won't boost it
patent citrus
I see 🤔 I wonder if i should just wait for my damage boost skill available before using any of the dots
or should i just use it on cd since i'm losing damage overtime
fast hull
what job are you BRD?

only if its about to come up

talking about bow shock and sonic break

well i mean no mercy and both bow shock and sonic break all have similiar cd hehe
little swift
both bow shock and sonic break have a 60 second recast
patent citrus
not sure if it's designed that way
little swift
you should 100% fit them inside no mercy
little swift
no reason not to
its a free increase in damage
and snapshots the dots for more damage

Is Crystarium gear the best you can get? Or is it Augmented Neo ish pentamelded?
