You must have a crafter or gatherer at at least level 50.
If you don't have that, then collectables are a whole system that you haven't yet unlocked.
jade quartz
Yeah

is skills on hotbars saved per class or per gear set?

I'm currently leveling my gatherers in diadem - should I do it manually for any reason or just auto-do it cuz its faster?

70-80 you can do trusts if you're so inclined
honestly, tho
if queue times are 10~ minutes then it might be faster to do those while doing fates on the side

leaden ginkgo
in what order should I level my crafting/gathering jobs?
gatherers first?
or in the order I need gear for them?
honest anvil
What are the antique stuff (helm, breech) for?
open rivet
gatherers -> crafters is fine,
but you'll need to keep crafters somewhat at the same level since they a) use the same gear and b) have depndencies on each other for craftin. @leaden ginkgo
jade quartz
Exchangeable for the ilvl 90 job gear which you get a set of for free from your level 50 job quest
It's just to re-buy that gear if you discard it.
You're fine to discard the antique stuff.
honest anvil
is that the only way to rebuy those lv50 job quest gears?
jade quartz
yes
specifically the i90 set
that comes out of the coffer
not the i45/50 set that just comes from the quests as items
leaden ginkgo
I want to make a free company with some friends, is there a way I can prepare for that?
jade quartz
Prepare how?
leaden ginkgo
perhaps craft stuff that I need beforehand?
jade quartz
You just
make the free company
you don't need to craft anything to have a free company
jade quartz
you can craft level 3 buffs eventually but they're pretty easy
leaden ginkgo
that's why they're hesitant to make one
jade quartz
the normal buffs are just bought with company credits
leaden ginkgo
how to get company credits?
jade quartz
Basically any activity performed by free company members generates company credits for the FC
just by questing, leveling up, doing GC turnins etc.
hot eagle
company credits are easy to farm/get fastest way is probably turning dungeon gear in for gc seals
leaden ginkgo
in the same way GC seals?
jade quartz
Inviting New Members
Crafting anything High Quality
Gathering anything High Quality
Undertaking supply and provisioning missions with your Grand Company
Completing FATEs
Completing Duties
Completing Quests
Earning Achievements
Any time a member of the FC does one of these things, company credits are gained.
You seriously get them just for playing normally

is there a way to increase the limit of the glamour dresser?
obsidian patio
Nope
limber crypt
Sadly no, but you can glamour "old way" aka use prism, "cast glamour" right click option and glam gear you have in inventory. I have saddlebag full of gear for that 
leaden ginkgo
hmm, I see why some friends store their glamour with their retainer
jade quartz
Y'all need a good spring clean
leaden ginkgo
I was like: why not just use the dresser, mine got full pretty quickly
in my opinion, I would be able to get more creative with glamour if the dresser had more slots
it's hard to think how things look when your collection limits what combinations you can see
pine bluff
are extreme trials impossible to do in a public group?
ive been doing them for hours and haven't been able to win
glossy flare
Some are not actively queued for
pine bluff
I mean they're just too difficult
obsidian patio
Extreme trials in generally aren’t really balanced around a random group of fresh newbies
glossy flare
But yeah, some experience + watching a guide is recommended
pine bluff
no just queueing up 😦
jade quartz
Nooooo
pine bluff
haha.. yeah
pine bluff
I guess it's impossible for queues
glossy flare
Though I hear over on some JP worlds they actually do use duty finder
for that kind of thing
glossy flare
ah I see
leaden ginkgo
How difficult or complicated does tanking become after ARR?
leaden ginkgo
As in?
glossy flare
At some point you gotta care about Tankbusters, even in normal content
half kraken
That's still in ARR
glossy flare
But that's a simple matter of turning on CD when it happens
half kraken
At 50 you get an invuln ability that's the only major thing
glossy flare
In normal content you don't have any reason to use it though, unless something goes very wrong
half kraken
If you do multipulls you may have to use it
And I do recommend doing multis whenever your healer is half decent
glossy flare
Eh, even then you can get by with the usual CDs most of the time
But this may be my DRK speaking, I try to avoid LD with randoms
half kraken
Yeah drk I never LD
Gnb I avoid it if possible
Pld is the only one that can use it whenever
leaden ginkgo
And just how stressful can things get tanking? In general. Like how many things do you need to worry about outside of certain mechanics by the boss and positioning it?
faint flare
Tanking is the easiest role
glossy flare
Not that much in normal content tbh
You just stand there, smack the boss and turn on the occasional defensive CD
If it gets stressful, then something went wrong already
Like a dead healer so now you gotta mitigate every little thing
brave ravine
just try it and see how it works out for you
leaden ginkgo
How is tanking easier than playing a dps?
past lantern
is there any "accurate" website seeing what the realm population is for each?
leaden ginkgo
@brave ravine I have
faint flare
Because you have simplier rotations
glossy flare
Tanks generally have simpler skill mechanics
faint flare
And usually simplier mechs
glossy flare
So you have more brain space for caring about stuff happening around you
faint flare
Like for one mechanic in a savage fight, you literally just leave the boss, pop some cooldowns and sit there baiting some aoes
Thats ir
Snoozefest
proud willow
Veteran players tend to underestimate how difficult the game is for inexperienced players, but tanking normal content really is very easy. practically idiot-proof
faint flare
While the dps are trying to dodge stuff trying not getting instakilled
leaden ginkgo
@proud willow I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment.
brave ravine
coming from wow where I easily pull half the dungeon and self heal, telling the healer to dps -- here I can't do that
pulling wall to wall requires popping cooldowns and a healer
faint flare
I mean you can if your healer has a brain
leaden ginkgo
So, the only time I'd have to worry about things outside of positioning the boss is in these savages things?
proud willow
and Extreme
glossy flare
Well there are some fights where you may have to pay attention to something else, even on normal
But generally, yes
Position the boss, then keep smacking it
CD for tankbusters
jade quartz
Just to comment on something said earlier
all tanks can and should use their invulns often.
Including Living Dead and Superbolide.
faint flare
I mean you can get away with not positioning the boss but all the melees will hate you...positioning the boss correctly in any content helps with uptime and dps
glossy flare
Thing is, in my experience the healers doesn't notice LD and just pops all the big heals so it's kind of irrelevant
proud willow
as you get into Stormblood and Shadowbringers, it's more common for trials and dungeon bosses to have a telegraphed tankbuster that's pretty important to use a CD for, though they shouldn't outright kill you even if you miss it
glossy flare
Super I do use, it's nice
glossy flare
Yeah, you're right tbh
glossy flare
I should make a macro for that line 😄
faint flare
People really should
proud willow
can't say I've ever seen a good argument for using LD on trash pulls
faint flare
Invulns are way to strong to not use
glossy flare
I mean using LD is as great as any other invuln
proud willow
It's about 7-8 seconds of damage prevented?
glossy flare
It's just annoying when it's worthless because it never pops
faint flare
And
jade quartz
that's a lot
faint flare
Thats 7-8s where the healer cab dps
glossy flare
wat
glossy flare
8 seconds are not just 2 gcds
faint flare
Or supee
glossy flare
plus you use your ogcds first anyway
jade quartz
it means you don't need to be using other cds
proud willow
the amount of damage prevented is roundabout 2 Cure IIs, no?
proud willow
3 then?
jade quartz
That's frankly an absurd position
faint flare
Like 10
jade quartz
that's a lot
leaden ginkgo
The reason I asked those questions is because I've always had the mindset of hitting without being hit. I prefer ranged characters that prioritize doing damage while avoiding it at all costs. So tanking is a whole different beast to me. The only jobs I've played thus far are, at least a whole lot, are BRD, DNC and SAM. Also a bit of Ninja
proud willow
maybe you're misunderstanding what I'm saying
glossy flare
As was said multiple times, don't worry, tanking is fun and not nearly as hard as most people make it out to be o/
proud willow
If the tank had no CDs on for 8 seconds in a big pull, how many Cure IIs would it take to keep them alive through that?
jade quartz
too many.
glossy flare
Frankly most people put tanks on a bit of a pedastal
proud willow
how many though?
jade quartz
Cure IIs may not keep them alive for that time.
But it's about three and a bit GCDs
And three holies is a lot.
proud willow
and a healer is let's say 20% of the party's damage?
jade quartz
Your position leads directly do "tanks should not use cooldowns and healers should not dps"
glossy flare
Any holy that also interrupts some aoe is a good one btw
proud willow
Nope
glossy flare
A great one even
proud willow
You're not correct on this
jade quartz
invulnerability is significant.
jade quartz
Explain how please.
proud willow
Hallowed has no risk to it and requires no communication
faint flare
If your healer has a brain
jade quartz
LD has no risk to it
faint flare
LD doesn't either
proud willow
how so?
jade quartz
I can't remember ever dying from walking dead falloff in a dungeon.
proud willow
in order for LD do its work, the tank has to stay at 1 HP
jade quartz
It's not really a significant threat.
proud willow
I agree that it's not a significant threat
faint flare
And benediction go brr at 9s
proud willow
at all
but the threat is larger than the payoff, which is less than 1 GCD of party damage
jade quartz
No it's not
leaden ginkgo
On the subject of healers, are healers in the same boat as tanks in terms of the simplicity of their jobs?
jade quartz
That threat is not larger than that payoff
faint flare
Dps wise yes, but you.gotta babysit 3-7 idiots
proud willow
if intentionally triggering LD and getting the full benefit out of it works 99 times out of 100, and fails 1 time out of 100
you lost more time than you gained
jade quartz
no I didn't?
faint flare
insert tales of dying from Hallowed
jade quartz
That maths doesn't check out at all
proud willow
that's assuming that the failure results in a wipe
leaden ginkgo
@faint flare bad players will be bad players regardless of the job you're playing. I was running potd with some person who never listened to a word I said as I was tanking
jade quartz
dungeon wipes don't take more than 250 seconds to recover from man
faint flare
Aint that the half of it neet
proud willow
I'm saying that the amount of time saved is less than 1 GCD
leaden ginkgo
I have enough stress in my life to have to worry about stressing in a game. That's why I choose jobs that aren't stressful
To play
jade quartz
Your maths doesn't work out
LD is free invuln
the worst thing that's likely to happen is healer won't notice it
and won't let you drop
brave ravine
some ppl love tanking because it's so much less stressful (to them), whiel others swear that tanking is more stressful.
that's why you should do some dungeon runs and determine for yourself
jade quartz
it's best used as the first thing in a large pull, unless you have a WHM in which case wait for holy stuns to wear off first
that way it's used to neutralise the most damage from the large number of mobs that haven't yet died.
proud willow
I know how the ability works
jade quartz
You're saying there is "no good argument to use it" which is false
leaden ginkgo
@brave ravine I've been spamming dungeons in arr to level a warrior. I've only got it to level 28 thus far
jade quartz
it's free gain
and the risk doesn't meaningfully exist
the 1/100 scenario you suggested still works out well in favour of using it
steady idol
I love tanking, i don't see why its hard tbh, you take agro and put the boss in the right place, but then i guess I've been tanking in MMOs since TBC
proud willow
Use it then, I'm not stopping you. It's still not worth it in pugs
brave ravine
@leaden ginkgo that'll be roughly 20% of your tanking career if you go that route.
proud willow
The cost is that you wipe and have to respawn and redo the pull
proud willow
If your only argument is "nobody has ever died from LD", then just let it go
that's not an argument
jade quartz
It is extremely uncommon to die from it
leaden ginkgo
Does healing come down to knowing how much your heals do and knowing when big damage is coming?
jade quartz
to the point that it's not a meaningful consideration.
proud willow
It is extremely uncommon to die from it, asterisk *
jade quartz
You are not in any real risk of dying from it.
faint flare
More or less neet
Tanking and healing is scripted out the ass
Only things that change said scripts are idiots taking dumb damage
leaden ginkgo
Cause honestly healing sounds more appealing to me than tanking.
proud willow
Part of healing is keeping an eye on your resources so that you know what's available to use. The basics are really simple but it's more improvisational than tanking or DPS
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
I've been watching videos on YouTube, mostly by this Wes guy, and I heard that healing is mostly done though OGCDs rather than gcds. Is that true?
proud willow
Yeah
proud willow
I mean, past a certain level that's true
faint flare
And dpsing is a form od healing as dead shit does no damage
proud willow
you don't really have any oGCDs at the really low levels but you'll also almost never need to cast a heal
leaden ginkgo
Gotcha. I think I might go White mage. Mostly due to my mindset of dealing damage from a distance
clever river
I think it has been said earlier, but if you use LD.. most of the time the healers won't let you drop below 1 hp because they don't notice you used it.
If the healer did notice, then he will most likely know how to deal with it. The risk of dying by using it is very insignificant.
proud willow
AST is the only one that can aoe from a distance though, WHM's and SCH's are point blank aoe
leaden ginkgo
@proud willow yeah, but I can't play AST for personal reasons
glossy flare
WHM aoe stuns mobs though
proud willow
I see. Well, I wouldn't peg either WHM or SCH as being more distance-y than the other
glossy flare
which is just great
leaden ginkgo
@proud willow Do they have to be in melee range to AOE like dancers?
proud willow
yeah, both of them do

gusty storm
are there any like non combo based classes
my brain is not strong enough to remember rotations
faint flare
Ranged dps
calm phoenix
Summoner
glossy flare
(they still have rotations though)
faint flare
Either static or priority based
gusty storm
what is the difference
glossy flare
Caster rotations are usually more determined by how they have to spend their MP
Like BLM who has a fire phase where they spend MP like crazy and an Ice phase where they regenerate it
twilit arch
Static rotation means you're always basically going to do the same thing in the same order
glossy flare
Ranged physical dps has more proc based things
warped nest
Machinist has absolutely no proc
warped nest
Dancer is on the top end on priority based rotation
twilit arch
like dragoon and monk have a very static rotation
there's very little to no change in how you do your rotation
dancer, and bard are more priority based as you have a lot of procs

like even you have a level 20 weapon but a level 1 ring then your ilvl will be lower
elfin edge
the "level" of gear is what level your class has to be to be able to use it
the "item level" of gear is a rough estimate of how "good" that gear is

Why can't people wait for those in cutscene? Because I had to "jump immediately to sealed area" it put me right at where a piller was about to fall and I died immediately

I'm glad in Shadowbringers there's the option to play it with Trust so that I can leisurely go through a dungeon for the first time

I personally wait for people to watch the cutscene
but its ultimatly down to the person
needless to say in an alliance raid there is a higher chance someone will pull early

So if i have ffxiv on both pc and ps4 using the same account, will trophies on ps4 auto pop when i log in if i earn them on pc?
leaden ginkgo
okay so, i just recently started up ffxiv and was wondering is there a faster way of leveling up to get to current content? currently level 10 but it just seems to drag on
wispy parcel
@obtuse eagle No they wont
leaden ginkgo
or do i just keep questing till i get up there to the dungeon levels
wispy parcel
it only counts how your progress if you play on PS4
agile laurel
@leaden ginkgo EVERYTHING is gated by MSQ. you cannot powerlevel your first job to endgame
leaden ginkgo
hmm. thank you thats kinda awesome
faint flare
You just have to do 1 thing regarding that trophy
elfin edge
Yeah just do your main scenario (story?) quests; they updated it so that it gives you enough exp to level you through
faint flare
To register the progress

do any npcs sell level 50 right side that isnt tome gear?

@leaden ginkgo this game is heavily story based, it will be a WHILE before you catch up to current content

Is there a "shorter" gun for the MCH. Something like the gun from Yuna in FF10-2.

Revolver of the wanderer is just a large small gun
The best bet was makai hand cannon but that's gone forever

Thanks Mateus, this is actually the first time ive played the Online series, im coming from a different base of games like WoW and Tera.

Okay, thanks ^^

Best way to describe FFXIV:
Its a Final Fantasy game first and an MMO second
faint flare
And had non existant optimization

Yeah, I would try to go through the story, but if you really really hate it you can skip cutscenes
leaden ginkgo
That is true vinyl. lol
faint flare
Wasted 3 years there
leaden ginkgo
i like the whole lore base though, fairly interesting
i honestly wasnt expecting a whole lot out of it when i started it up. oh hey another free trial game. my first thoughts... well like everyone elses, hope this one will be different and well it was
agile laurel
It starts slow
wispy parcel
very slow
agile laurel
I know my expectations were not exceeded particularly quickly
raven star
Anyone know where i can get level 50 right side that isnt crafted or from tomes?
leaden ginkgo
so i could tell lol. Once i got to level 4 i found out you cant as easily take on a level 12 treant without spam healing yourself
faint flare
Levels and gear primarily matter alot
raven star
He hasnt got level 50 dungeons, he cant get past the first story one xD
He doesnt meet ilevel and i cant trade him cause he's on a free trial
fast hull
aurum vale armor

yeah he's doing the level 50 smn quest now
faint flare
The job gear is more than enough
raven star
Thanks!
leaden ginkgo
Max level is 60 or what?
raven star
for free trial 60 is max
leaden ginkgo
raven star
But people take a month to complete the free trial, it's not quick. U have ALL the story patches from 2.0 to 3.5 to get through
leaden ginkgo
interesting so they give dang near the whole expansion till 60.
wispy parcel
Indeed
agile laurel
literally the whole expansion yes
eager widget
you’ve got all the way to the very end of Heavensward, a Bahamut Raid, a Alexander Raid, and all the 8man fights (trials)
faint flare
It was surprisinf for alot of people
agile laurel
all of basegame and all of expansion 1
faint flare
Most thought they would raise it to just 50
raven star
It's because people kept quitting during 2.x cause it took so long
wispy parcel
its mainly cause the original Free Trial ended at level 35
faint flare
But they just gave hald the game away in trial
wispy parcel
Which is the worst part of the game
raven star
2.x is a lot shorter now
leaden ginkgo
hmm and when do i unlock dungeons? id like to give those a shot

one sec and ill check
raven star
Ok ^^
agile laurel
be wary that the first few dungeons fall into the 'It's Literally Deadmines' category
zinc orbitBOT
agile laurel
so could not reasonably be called 'difficult'
wispy parcel
yea the early dungeons arent a great example of how dungeons work later on
raven star
@leaden ginkgo ur on crystal nvm xD
wispy parcel
early ones are a lot more open and feel like big mazes, Heavensward onward they are much more linear and are better for it
fast hull
how do you know which server are others in
agile laurel
well that's subjective but they certainly are better and more linear
faint flare
By role
leaden ginkgo
oh wait, i clicked the wrong one. im on primal
fast hull
can you tell which I am on?
agile laurel
yes, because you clicked primal
fast hull
So how is the other one crystal
leaden ginkgo
there we go, i just adjusted it.
faint flare
Slightly more RP and casual focus
agile laurel
there are multiple US datacenters
raven star
@leaden ginkgo oh so ur on primal? 😮
leaden ginkgo
yeah
raven star
I'm free right now if u need help in the game, ^.^ friend is logging off

Oh so you base on the color on the names then
leaden ginkgo
on primal i have one on lamia and the other on famfrit

short answer with ultimates is cause they're uh

blindingly fucking difficult for nothing but the sake of it

20min pulls
faint flare
Overlapping mechanics
agile laurel
well more like 15 but
faint flare
No mistakes
leaden ginkgo
faint flare
No breaks
agile laurel
they're not for progression they're solely for clout
so
they're difficult for the sake of it
leaden ginkgo
that ones the 18 min raid right?
wispy parcel
Ultimates are so absurd only about 5% of the playerbase even ATTEMPTS them
faint flare
Ultimate bahamut, ultimate Ultima and Ultimate Alexander
leaden ginkgo
jeez, i dont even know one WoW raid thats lasted more then 6 mins lol
Excluding classic raids
faint flare
They take over 100s of hours to learn and clesr
agile laurel
and ultimates tend to be more than 1 death, if even that, = wipe to enrage or wipe to mechanics
faint flare
More if you're pepega as hell like my group
agile laurel
that is assuming everyone is BiS geared
oak ice
Less than 1% of the playerbase does savage, and not very many of them do ultimates
agile laurel
because you kinda need to be
wispy parcel
its more than that
leaden ginkgo
So basically its an abnormally overpowered and over tuned fight on purpose?
agile laurel
thankfully getting bis in this game is actually a thing because titanforging 
yes
basically
leaden ginkgo
yikes.
agile laurel
it's designed to kick your shit in
wispy parcel
about 13-15% of the playerbase does Savage, less than 5% does ultimate
fast hull
which is more complicated, RDM or SAM ( my DNC is almost level 80 so I need another job)
agile laurel
music's good tho
sam
definitely sam
rdm is one of the most conceptually easy jobs
leaden ginkgo
i see
fast hull
is SAM harder than DRG
faint flare
Ultimates are basically designed for the best of the best, they're not for faint heart and the designs go ALLLLL out, no holds barred
wispy parcel
RDM is braindead imo, but people like it
fast hull
I got the combo down for DRG
granite swan
RDM is fun ... until you constantly get relegated to RezBot :p
wispy parcel
SAM is still pretty easy but it does have more going on than the other melee jobs
leaden ginkgo
alexander looks so confusing to watch on YT
faint flare
Exactly the point
leaden ginkgo
im used to healing in most games
faint flare
Because rdm can chain res
leaden ginkgo
so is there combat rez abilities or just rez when ever you can?
faint flare
With dualcast
eager widget
RDM naturally instacasts every other spell
faint flare
There's combat reses on healerd and casters except Black mage
eager widget
so imagine an instacast raise, then a swiftcast raise
leaden ginkgo
cool
faint flare
Dying gives you weakness
fast hull
K havent unlock RDM yet
faint flare
Reducing damage by 15%, 30% for 2 stacks
eager widget
weakness used to be an ALL STATS DOWN including HP, now it’s just a damage down
faint flare
For 2mins
leaden ginkgo
hm well thats certainly interesting
wispy parcel
thank christ for that
leaden ginkgo
so dying and reviving will result in lower meters. yikes
faint flare
Old weakness 
eager widget
yep Jay
agile laurel
It's like a diet rez sickness
leaden ginkgo
haha
agile laurel
it balances being able to raise in combat so easily
eager widget
and some jobs you’ll lose your meters or energy
agile laurel
which is frankly still busted in concept
faint flare
Anf fuck your rotation royalty
agile laurel
the only thing that resurrects you in an actually good state is healer limit break 3 which is by definition a one off
leaden ginkgo
so on a scall of 1-10, as a healer on alexander, how much pressure would you say is on them
faint flare
Especially during Brute and Cruise
eager widget
healers have a lot of pressure in ultimates because dps checks are typically tight
faint flare
With everyone spread
eager widget
so a death debuff is an OOF
agile laurel
the thing is with healers in ultimate, dps checks are so tight for the enrage
healers need to have worked out how to heal with as little effort as possible
so they can spam dps
eager widget
there’s a lot of room for optimizing and gitting gud
faint flare
Healing has to basically be precise to squeeze out dps
vapid veldt
ultimate is more a mechanics check than a dps check
leaden ginkgo
so litterally this boss is a nonforgiving boss. and if everything isnt perfect its fucking your whole life up
faint flare
And proper management of raid wide mitigation
leaden ginkgo
sounds like my kinda raid.
eager widget
for reference Jay, Ultimates on average take about 80+ hours of blind prog start to finish
assuming everyone is new
leaden ginkgo
holy fuck
agile laurel
that's not factoring the gearing you'll have to do
halcyon glen
And that's if everyone is REALLY GOOD at their jobs
eager widget
there’s vid guides and text docs out that speed prog up a lot
but it’s definitely a hill
faint flare
Wiping 10mins into the fight when you're trying to learn a mechanic 15mins in is gonna a fuck your morale
As its a wasted pull
leaden ginkgo
👀 see im used to fights that are fairly short lengthed but holy crap... thats a whole nother level of stress
faint flare
You NEED consistency
halcyon glen
ultimates are hard
faint flare
As i tell wow people
leaden ginkgo
id imagine people would rage quit easily
agile laurel
i've heard ultimate static break mid prog, break wordlessly the moment after clearing the fight
wheat plume
For squadrons
@faint flare I'm at lvl 50 and never did that, is it worth to do it now?
faint flare
Its mythic in fucking steriods
raven star
I do all savages but not Ultimates, I'm not the best but I can clear it xD
It's really fun
leaden ginkgo
no kidding? fucking steroids?
wheat plume
getting those squads
faint flare
All the steriods you can think
agile laurel
Plus to even unlock ultimate you have to clear its relevant tier on savage which is not simple to say the least
leaden ginkgo
can you buy levels. ingame like a max level character?
raven star
It's easy unsynced with the right friends ;P
U can buy to level 70 and buy story skips
silver ruin
you can buy levle skips up to 70 (cap is 80) but its not really recommended
faint flare
Just casually fighting 5 bosses in a row, no breaks, overlapping mechanics, hidden walls you dont know about until you get there which could change your whole strats...
leaden ginkgo
interesting
silver ruin
you'll end up with like 2 hotbars of extra skills that you dont know how to use
leaden ginkgo
thats fair, so unless youre like experienced with the character and class dont do it
untold sand
efficient leveling is just spamming dungeons at my level?
silver ruin
or willing to put a crap ton of effort into learning, yea
untold sand
or just spam palace?
faint flare
Dungeons if ques are quick
rotund sable
you say at my level
silver ruin
dps=palace healer/tank=dungeon
rotund sable
but not your level
raven star
Palace players don't really understand their class at max level
halcyon glen
Example ultimate silliness: If you don't get the right debuffs on your party in phase 1, you automatically wipe at phase 5
twilit arch
that's honestly not true
raven star
@leaden ginkgo like i said I'm happy to help u get into end game/savage later and teach u the basics. I have nothing to do due to all the stuff going on irl
I just dont do ultimates
twilit arch
just because you use palace to level doesn't mean you won't understand your class, plenty of people also level via dungeons and don't know how to play their class well either
leaden ginkgo
welp. my minds blown and my curiousity is peaked. that sounds absolutely incredible helliebabe. lol thats fair though
i gotta learn the basics before going in faces fuckin myself
raven star
I do have people that might need members for their statics for ultimates if u get there
twilit arch
ultimately its something that's on the player to 1. read the tooltips, and 2. seek out the various guides created to understand their job
silver ruin
@leaden ginkgo if you dont mind spoilers you can look up some of theold savage fights
on youtube etc
wispy parcel
pretty much ultimates are for insane people with a crap ton of free time

Out of context they are not really spoilers

not lore spoilers per say but fight spoilers

yeah 🙂

one thing WoW is lacking rn
raven star
Should be able to keep up with levels easily to 60 through MSQ and some roulettes

Level skips also auto complete job quests up to 70
raven star
I'm helping new players through the game, I'm so bored xD
leaden ginkgo
nice
wispy parcel
so yea you miss out on a lot of content
leaden ginkgo
actually i think imma skip out on raid. give me like 10 mins and ill be back on
raven star
takes people 2-3 months to catch up depending on how much they play the game
leaden ginkgo
nice
raven star
So you'll be busy :>
leaden ginkgo
WoW RN i could hit max level in like 2 days hardcore leveling?
twilit arch
I mean if you wanna be technical you can definitely hit 80 within a few days
twilit arch
that doesn't mean much since you'd still have to do the msq
leaden ginkgo
i mean. leveling all day and night lol
raven star
And trust me, the story is good
twilit arch
because content is locked behind it
wispy parcel
well its also mainly cause in XIV you have to do everything in order since every xpac is NOT its own individual story. Its all one continuious plotline.
raven star
yeah u need to do story to get to content
leaden ginkgo
so stick to the straight content quest gotcha 😛 spam side quest and use them till youre leveled out. right?
raven star
kinda, xD
faint flare
Just story quests
leaden ginkgo
"kill 6 adds" okay ill kill 12
faint flare
And blue quests
raven star
level roulette once a day till u unlock 24raid roulette
raven star
I used to blue mage method to help my friends level faster as well, it's a little slower but it works xD
raven star
^
leaden ginkgo
right
ripe hound
Yeah you unlock nothing at "lv 80"
raven star
U can get to level 50 through story very easily, my friend just hit 50 today
ripe hound
You unlock everything at "completed lv 80 story"
leaden ginkgo
nice
raven star
Level 50 u have trials and raids as well, then again at 60-70-80
leaden ginkgo
so would yall say the lower level content is just as active as max or not really?
raven star
And you will want to complete the coils and the tower before level 60 for lore reasons
Very active
faint flare
There's roulettes
ripe hound
The lower level casual contents are really active
wispy parcel
all content that is required by MSQ is ALWAYS very active
faint flare
So dungeons pop at all levels
leaden ginkgo
oh nice
raven star
There's a roulette system where people randomly get put into raids/dungeons to get bonus exp to level alts
leaden ginkgo
thats actually kinda cool. i like that
