questions-and-help

[rotund sable]

excellent

or in ex/savage/ult you just delete a mechanic

excellent x 2

[warped nest]

hard to remember everything when its all kicking off 🙂
@exotic ridge just practice and you will get there, good luck and have fun

[wary forge]

So "longest CD in the game", and "takes too long to activate so you die before it does" aren't drawbacks? Oh yeah, and don't forget "Still goes on CD when you die before it actually activates" too.

[tacit atlas]

What's the point in not using them?

[rotund sable]

its not like superbolide where you need to use it as close to death as possible

deleting damage is literally the strongest thing you can do as a tank

defensives have a slight delay too guess they're useless

tanks are back in the bin

[exotic ridge]

i always try to help the healer and keep something up

[wary forge]

So the "oh shit I'm about to die" button letting you die after you hit it is "working as intended"?

[rotund sable]

hallowed isnt an oh shit im about to die button

every part of damage is completely predictable

[exotic ridge]

more like calculated risk lol

[rotund sable]

use your kit effectively, that applies to hallowed as well

[tacit atlas]

Basically

[rotund sable]

delete as much damage with it as you can

[tacit atlas]

The "i'm about to die" button applies a little bit more to superbolide tbh lol

But it's still better to just use it

When you actually need to of course

[rotund sable]

even bolide should be used more strategically, though given how hard it is to communicate with DF healers it ends up being that way sometimes yeah

[plain python]

are there monsters without rear? I fought Black Rider and noticed his circle is a full round.

[lone nacelle]

full circle means omnidirectional so anything goes i believe

[fresh lodge]

Yeah

It acts as all positionals so you can get flanking bonus from the front, ect

[untold sand]

is the exp boost potion expensive?

[shell echo]

Are garo armor sets not available in game anymore

[fresh lodge]

No

They were from a limited event

[shell echo]

I see thank you

[tacit atlas]

@untold sand you mean the level boost things that get you to level 70?

Or do you mean a different thing

Because those cost 25 dollars

[untold sand]

um no

the potions with +10% exp @tacit atlas

someone told me about them yesterday

[hot eagle]

they are only for eureka iirc

[fresh lodge]

For Eureka?

[untold sand]

i dont even know what that is

[tacit atlas]

Hmm

[untold sand]

lol

[fresh lodge]

They're not expensive but they only work in Eureka

[tacit atlas]

Either that or they mean squadron battle manuals

lol

[untold sand]

is eureka a location?

[hot eagle]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Forbidden_Land,_Eureka_Anemos

[fresh lodge]

Squadron battle manuals are 20%

Eureka is a collection of instances

[untold sand]

wait is squadon manuals for me? i thought that was for the squadron

[tacit atlas]

It's a whole different levelling system in there

No those give you a boost to exp from mobs

It's basically just the heat of battle buff

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Squadron_Battle_Manual

[untold sand]

i asume it doesnt work for stuff like dungeon mobs then considerin it stated field

[tacit atlas]

Field is usually referred to wherever you are deployed

But they do work in dungeons

It's the same thing as the heat of battle FC buff

[untold sand]

yu @tacit atlas

[tacit atlas]

This gives you 15% exp tho

So if they are using heat of battle II it's still 5% more exp

[raven star]

Is there a way to get ur ps4 character on PC?

[tacit atlas]

Yes

You just have to use the same account on both

You have to register a pc key before being able to play on pc tho

[errant ginkgo]

do you guys know any good guide for expert ishgard crafting?

[raven star]

Thanks!

[wheat plume]

Is Ifrit (hard) AoE color different than the regullar orange? It seemed like lava and I died a few times because it was different that what I'm used to see in AoE, Or am I wrong?

[slate arrow]

@wheat plume it's different, yes. It's the lines which form before the explosion goes off

[jade quartz]

are you talking about this kind of thing?

[slate arrow]

Why? Uh... Legacy 1.0 shenanigans, I guess

[untold sand]

where do i find the blood mary penguins?

[jade quartz]

Yeah those are AoE circles

same as in Ifrit normal mode actually

[wheat plume]

are you talking about this kind of thing?
@jade quartz Yes, I didn't avoid it because I didn't know it was aoe

Didn't seem like the regullar orange

[slate arrow]

All the ARR primals are mostly like this

Non-standard AoE colors and "unique" mechanics

[wheat plume]

All the ARR primals are mostly like this
@slate arrow Thanks. Only primals , or another enemies too have it?

[slate arrow]

they streamlined most of the markers in Heavensward but just never went back to update it

[tacit atlas]

Good thing that they changed that in Later expansions

[jade quartz]

AoEs still come in many kinds

https://imgur.com/a/c9oxF1d

[slate arrow]

@wheat plume a few Guildhests use the old AoE marker for a few AoEs where the marker isn't filled in with the pulsing yellow

[wheat plume]

AoEs still come in many kinds
@jade quartz Thanks a lot for that info.

[slate arrow]

Otherwise for the most part nearly all content had been updated and use current markers or unique but still orange/red tinted markers which should give a pretty good idea you shouldn't stand in them

[wheat plume]

Otherwise for the most part nearly all content had been updated and use current markers or unique but still orange/red tinted markers which should give a pretty good idea you shouldn't stand in them
@slate arrow I'll do it from now on.

I've just finished MSQ lvl 50 Ultimate Weapon.
What's the easiest thing to do now?
Primals (hard), Dungeons (hard), Crystal Tower
Or do you have any other recomendation of what to do at the same time as 2.1 MSQ ?

[tacit atlas]

@untold sand you mean the B rank mark, Bloody Mary?

[untold sand]

ye nevermind found it

[tacit atlas]

If so, it can be all over Eastern la noscea

Ah okay

Crystal tower is an msq requirement now

So you would have to do it anyway

[slate arrow]

@wheat plume you'll want to get Ironworks gear first because most ARR content syncs to item level 135 now to smooth over the "weird beta test" period ARR has due to this being the team's first "expansion" and testing out new stuff. Once you get 130 or close thereabouts, it'll be easy sailing until Heavensward

*there's some dungeons which sync lower, but they're not common, if they even happen at all.

[tacit atlas]

Also, probably do the hard primals?

If only to unlock trial roulette

[slate arrow]

If you need a big dump of Poetics, you should definitely do Crystal Tower now. With bonus, you'll get a good 1000-1500 Poetics just from the quest alone, give or take.

And you'll have Poetics everywhere as first time bonus gives 100 Poetics per completion

[raven star]

Whats the console command to place a flag?

[wheat plume]

My item level average is 66, If I do a dungeon that syncs to 135, will my gear go up during that dungeon? Or is it only for lowering gear greater than 135?

[proud willow]

<pos> will place one at your current location

[slate arrow]

Stat sync will never go up

Only syncs down

so you'll be 66

[tacit atlas]

Nope, it only syncs down

[raven star]

He needs to place a flag to link locations and I dont play on console xD

[slate arrow]

The only exception to that rule is Palace of the Dead, Heaven on High and (in the future) the Shadowbringers relic weapon zone

[wheat plume]

If only to unlock trial roulette
@tacit atlas What is trial roulette? is like the leveling roulette?

[slate arrow]

Yes

[tacit atlas]

Yes

[slate arrow]

Except it unlocks with level 50 or above trials

[tacit atlas]

It gives you less exp than the levelling roulette tho

But it's still a thing to do if you are leveling

[slate arrow]

However, Trials are relatively quick. If you get a level 50 trial, it'll only take 5-10 minutes on an average run

Dungeons take 15-20 minutes unless you have a really good DPS

[wheat plume]

However, Trials are relatively quick. If you get a level 50 trial, it'll only take 5-10 minutes on an average run
@slate arrow Great, it doesn't allow me trials roulette until item level 90. I'll wait until then.

[tacit atlas]

You should be able to buy ironworks gear already

If you already did prae

[slate arrow]

You should have more than a few Poetics from The Ultimate Weapon plus your Job Gear Coffer

[raven star]

L1 + R1 is to place a flag, we got it! 😄

[slate arrow]

Unless you skipped your job quests, in which case please do them

Job quests have a coffer which gives i90 upon opening, and then Ironworks is used in the left over slots like your accessories, though it's recommended you replace the main hand first

[wheat plume]

Unless you skipped your job quests, in which case please do them
@slate arrow I've done all the job quests until lvl 50 (Dragon), I got gear lvl 90 after that

[slate arrow]

:thumbs up:

[wheat plume]

You should have more than a few Poetics from The Ultimate Weapon plus your Job Gear Coffer
@slate arrow I've 722 poetics, is that enough for ironworks?

[slate arrow]

a few pieces.

[tacit atlas]

Uhh, at least some parts lol

You should buy your main weapon first probably

[slate arrow]

It's 200-600 poetics per piece, with the weapon being the most expensive

So buy the weapon first and see what you can do next.

You should have enough to progress the MSQ at the very least

Since there's more than a few story trials and dungeons which all give the First Time Bonus for you

[wheat plume]

My gear for ears, neck, wrists, rings, is ilvl 46-49, is it too low now? Should I get something better now or just wait?

[tacit atlas]

Do you unlock msq roulette right away?

I don't really remember

[slate arrow]

It'll be fine for the first and second parts of the patch MSQ

@tacit atlas yes

[wheat plume]

Yes, I have 5 roulettes now

[tacit atlas]

But if you do you also get 500 poetics from that

[wary forge]

Pretty sure MSQ Roulette is only 300 base, might be 500 after bosses and/or a newbie though.

[tacit atlas]

You get 300 from the roulette itself and 200 more from the bosses

If I remember correctly

But that's why I said 500 yes

[wheat plume]

Can I go/finish Crystal Tower with my actual lvl ? (52) armor ilvl90 and other gear ilvl46

[oak ice]

What's your average?

[wheat plume]

66

[oak ice]

Then you can at least join LotA

[proud willow]

Anything you meet the min item level for, you can do

but if you want to complete the Coil raid, or Extreme trials, you should recruit someone through Party Finder

people will jump in to do it unsynced for you in order to get that bonus be extremely nice and helpful

[tacit atlas]

Oh yes that is something that you should know

If you just go through the duty finder for extremes you will only get people that don't know the fight and/or angry mentors

[wheat plume]

people will jump in to do it unsynced for you in order to get that bonus be extremely nice and helpful
@proud willow wow, I didn't know I can get unsynced party members., so it's a win-win scenario.

[proud willow]

Yup

the gear at the top of Duty Finder opens up the option menu—Undersized Party will put you in with your current party and no level sync

[wheat plume]

I've only done duty finder until now, I'll do party finder from now on

the gear at the top of Duty Finder opens up the option menu—Undersized Party will put you in with your current party and no level sync
@proud willow Great. Thanks.

[slate arrow]

No, do duty finder

Alliance raids are casual content

[tacit atlas]

Do duty finder

[proud willow]

for normal difficulty stuff, go ahead and Duty Finder

[slate arrow]

No reason to avoid duty finder

[tacit atlas]

Just not for extremes

[slate arrow]

Party finder is only for extreme, Savage, and Coils

(since coils is basically savage and the savage system wasn't refined until Heavensward)

[wheat plume]

Ok, I'm new here, so sorry for ask this:
Extreme is difficulty higher than Hard?
Savage and Colis are name of dungeons/raids?

[tacit atlas]

It kind of goes

[slate arrow]

Hard should be considered normal, for all intents and purposes

It's just they needed to distinguish between the level 20/30/40 versions and the level 50 versions

[wheat plume]

Haha, I'm asking only to identify in what content go party undersized

[tacit atlas]

Normal<hard<extreme<savage<ultimate

[proud willow]

yeah, dungeons that are marked "(Hard)" aren't any harder than usual. A better name for it would be "Part II"

[tacit atlas]

In terms of difficulty

[proud willow]

you get to do sequels to Tam-Tara and Stone Vigil and such

[wheat plume]

ok

[tacit atlas]

But yes hard is basically just the same thing but again

[wheat plume]

you get to do sequels to Tam-Tara and Stone Vigil and such
@proud willow Yes, I'm unlocking all those before trying anything else

[tacit atlas]

The only "hard mode" trials are the ARR ones if I remember correctly

So I'm not really sure if it really counts as an extra difficulty

[wheat plume]

Any advice for not getting everyone killed in raids? Crystal Tower now will be my first raid. And this is my first MMO.
At least I know I'm good with my rotation, except for getting aggro, I don't know about aggro yet. (Dragon lvl52 ilvl66)

[tacit atlas]

You don't really need to worry about aggro

Unless you play tank

Or you were playing 2 years ago

lol

[wheat plume]

Some people says DPS get the risk of getting more aggro than tank.

[tacit atlas]

Tank stance gives a very big aggro multiplier

It's not really a problem to manage aggro anymore

[wheat plume]

Ok,thxs. So no worries about aggro.

Besides doing good rotation and avoiding AoE, what else should I have in mind for raids?

[tacit atlas]

When this expansion released it simplified aggro by a lot

Check if the message you saw was written before ShB came out lol

There are a bunch of mechanics in the raids

[wheat plume]

Check if the message you saw was written before ShB came out lol
@tacit atlas haha, maybe, I'm reading a lot of info, even from 6-7 years ago

[glossy flare]

It doesn't hurt to watch a guide, but for Crystal Tower especially people will just be rushing through things for the most part

[tacit atlas]

But if I'm being honest you might not even see some of them

[glossy flare]

They nerfed it when they made it mandatory

Though I vaguely remember an updated 2020 guide that someone posted here a while ago, maybe that takes all the skipped mechanics into account

[warped nest]

@wheat plume anything older than 1 year is already 1 expansion behind

Don't trust anything too old completely

[tacit atlas]

Yup lol

[wheat plume]

@wheat plume anything older than 1 year is already 1 expansion behind
@warped nest Ok, I'll do

Don't trust anything too old completely
@warped nest ok

[warped nest]

Don't have to quote me lol XD

[tacit atlas]

Next you will be asking about protect or stoneskin lol

[warped nest]

Don't be shy to ask questions here

[wheat plume]

For leveling, should I do all roulettes or only Leveling and Trials ?

[tacit atlas]

Yes you can just ask

[warped nest]

Leveling, MSQ, and Alliance are pretty good for exp

[tacit atlas]

Msq roulette gives you a lot of exp

About a level if you get prae

[warped nest]

Trial roulette is a bit below average tbh, for exp yield, but it is fine

[tacit atlas]

But considering that you just did msq

[wheat plume]

Don't be shy to ask questions here
@warped nest I've been asking questions for hours here and in novice chat for the last week, I think some people are tired of me asking lol

[tacit atlas]

You might get a level anyway lol

[warped nest]

Still, ask away

[wheat plume]

Leveling, MSQ, and Alliance are pretty good for exp
@warped nest What is Alliance?

[glossy flare]

Alliance Raid roulette

[tacit atlas]

lol

[glossy flare]

Like Crystal Tower for example

[tacit atlas]

You haven't unlocked that yet

[glossy flare]

There is also normal Raid roulette, which just draws from the 8 man raids

[tacit atlas]

You will get it when you do all of the crystal tower raids

[oak ice]

You get it the moment you unlock your second

[tacit atlas]

Ah

[warped nest]

Trial and Normal Raid roulette are just okay for exp, but they are good if you needed like 1/5th of a bar worth of exp quick

[tacit atlas]

Was not too sure about that one

Again, it has been a long time since I completed those lol

[oak ice]

All roulettes work like that, except expert that needs you to beat all dungeons involved

[wheat plume]

How good was the story in Return to Ivalice? I like Matsuno's games, so that's one of the reasons I want to continue playing.

[warped nest]

While we are at roulette, take note that you can get contents you have unlocked but not completed in the corresponding roulette

Tldr on return to ivalice, ||it kinda sorta serve as a unofficial ish epilogue for the Tactic story||, so I am told anyway

[wheat plume]

While we are at roulette, take note that you can get contents you have unlocked but not completed in the corresponding roulette
@warped nest Which content? Is there anything to do in the dungeons besides kill everything and defeat the boss?

[warped nest]

If you have unlock a new dungeon, but didn't do it

And go queue for leveling roulette, it is possible to get that dungeon

Applies to trials, raids, and alliance raids too

[wheat plume]

I'm in the ironworks store, but there's only gear, not weapon

[tacit atlas]

There is another vendor next to that one

That's the one

[warped nest]

For the weapon, you need to use poetics to buy items from npc first, then trade items for weapons

[tacit atlas]

Basically we used to have to exchange tokens for the weapons

Now with the update from 5.3

You just get it with poetics

That's why it's 2 different vendors

[wheat plume]

So now for getting more poetics, I need to do 2.1 MSQ and LotA in Crystal Tower, right?

[tacit atlas]

Or roulettes

[proud willow]

all the new dungeons you unlocked are also a source of poetics

[wheat plume]

Primals (hard) too?

[proud willow]

yes

[wheat plume]

Great.

[tacit atlas]

For every new dungeon/trial that you do you get bonus poetics because of the new person bonus

(the new person is you)

[proud willow]

If you're on Aether, I'm not doing anything atm, I can run some of these with you so you're not stuck with the dps queue

[wheat plume]

I'm in cactuar

[heady orbit]

Where can i see when elite mark bill mob spawn?

[tacit atlas]

You mean B ranks?

[proud willow]

I put up a party in PF, in the Other category

[tacit atlas]

If you mean A ranks you should just join a hunt discord, those usually say when one spawns

[proud willow]

I'll pass leader to you and you can queue us up for whateva

[tacit atlas]

If you did mean B ranks tho, those spawn almost right away after it dies

So you just have to search for it at that point

[wheat plume]

I'll pass leader to you and you can queue us up for whateva
@proud willow Just queuing as usual puts both of us in because we're party, right?

[proud willow]

yup

[elder matrix]

My gf wants to try ff14 ..any recommendations whats the class with the easiest entrance..shes really new to mmorpgs and games in general

[glossy flare]

Bard I'd say

Which starts as Archer

[tacit atlas]

Bard is very mobile and easy to start with

So yes that one

[glossy flare]

But for an overview of all the jobs in general I recommend this, it's also pretty entertaining

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_vH-1WZQ3A&feature=youtu.be

[tacit atlas]

Otherwise, just don't start with MNK

[shrewd mirage]

how do i get acces to madhura ?

[glossy flare]

Madhura is one of the Ananta beast tribe merchants I think

So unlock that beast tribe?

[tacit atlas]

I was so confused for a second there lol

But yes if it's a beast tribe vendor you have to unlock it first

By doing the blue quests that are linked to it

[glossy flare]

Should be in the Fringes

[leaden ginkgo]

So I'm a level 58 summoner and I want to change back to Scholar, but it keeps telling me to "change to ACN first" how do I go back to ACN to then go to Scholar? it won't let me put the Scholar stone on?

[glossy flare]

put the scholar weapon on

not the stone

Technically both use books, but they are different

[leaden ginkgo]

My books say "SCH" on them but how do I get to that spec?

[analog gate]

it says that when you're trying to do the first SCH jobquest?

[glossy flare]

Wait, did you unlock SCH?

[analog gate]

unequip the summoner jobstone first to switch back to ACN

[glossy flare]

Like did you do the lvl 30 job quest for it?

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh nevermind I got it thank you ^.^

[rough cairn]

potentially how much should I save up for a small house plot when the new wards releases in 5.35?

[shrewd mirage]

late respond: thanks for the help!

[obsidian wren]

Believe small plots sell for up to 3m-ish, plus 500k for building the actual house itself

Bit more leeway never hurts, with 5m you should be able to decorate it nicely too

[rough cairn]

I own a small house right now and I plan to move it somewhere else, it should cost me less right?

[open rivet]

me and a buddy trying to unlock Lv. 5 death, but can't seem to get Page 64 to cast it,
is the wiki wrong or are we dumb?

[obsidian wren]

You get 30% of the price you paid for your current house as a discount yeah

[proud willow]

I got it from the Ahriman in Haukke

err

wait, which one is that?

I was thinking Petrify, ignore me

[tawdry otter]

someone know which spells are useful for fisher and how to leveling them? i'm a new fisher :x

[agile laurel]

@open rivet Walk back to the corner. It only casts it when it has no line of sight on anyone

[agile laurel]

Can someone do me a quick rundown on E6S pf jargon?

[forest laurel]

is there really any pf jargon other than uptime

bc I'm sure I only see uptime for e6s pf

other mechanics don't really need strats

[potent lava]

can you alter text speed in settings? I know you can just shift tab but that messes with steam overlay, and i dont want to turn that off

[cedar compass]

I'm gonna start ixali daily quests now. Which crafter job should i unlock for it?

[agile laurel]

@forest laurel what's inching tho

[forest laurel]

ohh

that's going thru rakta's hitbox little by little during conflag

as dps

[agile laurel]

because I agree i think it's just uptime soccer which I understand, but that's totally lost me

Oh not just

switching E W E W

[forest laurel]

no

[agile laurel]

gotcha

what do they do, just inch in a straight line from e to w gradually til conflag is over?

[forest laurel]

yep

[agile laurel]

'kay

i'm still technically experience blind on e6 but eh

helps to know

[forest laurel]

also for the love of god decide on an anchor when you do get to conflag eventually

aka a dps who's always west for pairs after conflag

[agile laurel]

i'm still touchy on rakta but eh, will deal as i get to it

cheers for that tho

[forest laurel]

nw

[kind burrow]

is the EXP still received if i am a level 57 mentor with a level 2 sprout?

at full capacity i mean

i mean, does mentor status let you stay in a party with sprouts and not damage their EXP gain?

at high level

[proud willow]

I'm pretty sure it does not, I haven't heard of anything like that

[leaden ginkgo]

Hmm. If I'm doing something dumb, like deciding to start new because I haven't played in 2 years and didn't get far to begin with anyway, and then on top of that deciding to do literally every quest I can come across in cities and in the world, and want someone to share the xp with while I busy grind out the boring stuff at work, where would I ask to party up to do that?

[kind burrow]

so, i can stay in a party with a sprout at high level and they will still receive as much EXP as they are supposed to?

[glossy flare]

afaik level difference has no detrimental effect on xp gain for anyone

just be aware that going into instances unsynced means you don't get xp for killing individual mobs

[kind burrow]

wait rly????

omg

wait

no

i was a with someone in a party earlier and they didnt get any EXP

[glossy flare]

What did you guys do?

[vernal quarry]

trying to decide which race would be better: viera or lalafell? kinda don't want to be stalked by lala lovers or other either. 😦

currently a lala

[kind burrow]

helped them with doinga quest and they got aggroed, so i killed whatever was attacking them

[glossy flare]

Hm, weird

But that kind of thing isn't even important in the long run, the vast majority of xp comes from quest completion

For which it doesn't matter if you are in a party or not

[kind burrow]

i know but for starters Mob EXP does matter

lie, first few levels

and it actually blocked them from getting a couple quests

[glossy flare]

Not really tbh, just doing MSQ is enough

[kind burrow]

its a small inconvenience

[glossy flare]

Blocked them from getting quests? <.<

[jade quartz]

just don't kill everything that attacks them

[kind burrow]

they didnt have enough EXP

[jade quartz]

ez

[glossy flare]

Hm yeah

[kind burrow]

so i can stay in they party and they are supposed to get the EXP as long as i dont touch the mobs right?

[jade quartz]

I, uh....think so

[glossy flare]

Apparently so

[kind burrow]

ok, thanks a lot, we've had a lot of inving to do at the start XD if it doesnt work...oh well, just have to live with it

[glossy flare]

Tbh, this is a pretty weird case because usually it doesn't matter 😅

Gotta do all those story duties alone eventually anyway

And again, quests are where the xp is

[past lantern]

Does anyone know which hairstyle this is

Just looks pretty nice

[jade quartz]

Modern Aesthetics - Modern Legend

[vernal quarry]

where do you get it? looks awesome

[jade quartz]

By trading in Skybuilders' Scrips from Ishgardian Restoration

or off the marketboard

[vernal quarry]

there are a few hairstyles that are braided that I want, but they are in HoH and I haven't even started POTD

[fresh lodge]

I think you can buy the HoH one off the Market board

[vernal quarry]

i bet its like millions of gil though. whats it called?

i should level POTD though, to get through my other jobs

[past lantern]

HoH one is Gyr Abanian . I have it... though it just makes my male lalafell look like female ><

[vernal quarry]

Yay a fellow lala

Could you explain in more detail?

[normal axle]

Hello everyone, at what level should i think about joining a guild/company?

[exotic ridge]

sure. normally skill 1 completes highlights skill 2 etc, im pressing 1 and not getting the highlight even though the skill 1 has fired?

[jade quartz]

whenever you want

Then you missed yeah

[normal axle]

But i mean at what level do the raids start? 🤪

[exotic ridge]

but it fires sometimes, im trying to trace the inconsitency

[jade quartz]

must be fighting something higher level than you or have been hit by accuracy down debuff

@normal axle people don't raid via free companies, they're primarily social

[exotic ridge]

against a post dummy but it happens in the wild as well

[jade quartz]

What skills exactly are they

and what level are you and what level is the dummy

[exotic ridge]

aah dummy lvl matters, its a 70 and im 55

[jade quartz]

yep

You can only miss against targets higher level than you.

[exotic ridge]

where could I find a 50 dummy?

[jade quartz]

Level 1 dummies are fine

[exotic ridge]

location?

[jade quartz]

Can go to Summerford Farms in Middle La Noscea and hit the dummies there

[untold sand]

anywhere to find crafters willing to trade?

cuz i noticed my power level

[jade quartz]

What do you mean?

[exotic ridge]

found them thx

[untold sand]

im a lvl 69 scholar with 102 level lol

[jade quartz]

That's extremely bad

Go buy shire gear with poetics, at the very least

[latent forum]

Hello guys, new player here.. which one should I choose? What’s the difference between then? Just the server there are others differences? And in case I want to change, Can I change it later? Or I’ll play only in the one I’ll choose?

[jade quartz]

I'm gonna guess you leveled via PotD/HoH?

[untold sand]

um actually no

it was msq

lol

but i tend to sell old stuff idk why

[rigid narwhal]

im amazed you can still enter lvl 50+ duties with that

[jade quartz]

That item level is too low even for like, level 51 MSQ

Where are you in MSQ?

[untold sand]

final steps of faith. was a gunbreaker for a while

i dropped scholar at the mid end arr

still did dailies though

[brave ravine]

hit up the marketboard

[forest laurel]

choosing a server only affects the FCs you can join and housing @latent forum

[jade quartz]

@latent forum Any, it doesn't matter. Shiva is the unofficial German-language server if that matters to you.

But you can play on other worlds on the same datacentre as you using the world visit feature

[forest laurel]

also come to twintania

[jade quartz]

basically all content can be done with players across the entire datacentre

[sturdy sandal]

hi i just hopped onto this game and i got no clue what to do

[jade quartz]

the only things that your home world really matters for is being in a Free Company (player social guild), owning housing, and selling items on the marketboard

[forest laurel]

follow

[sturdy sandal]

any way someone can maybe teach me tf to do

[jade quartz]

as those are the only things which you're limited to doing on your home world only

Do main story quests

and blue quests, which unlock content and features

[sturdy sandal]

yeah im doing that rn but like

[jade quartz]

do your class quest every 5 levels

that's all you really need

read active help

read your skill tooltips

[sturdy sandal]

they're making me party up with ppl and i have no social interaction and nobody doing it rn

[latent forum]

I’m from Italy.. ok thank you so much for help!

[jade quartz]

Doing Sastasha?

[sturdy sandal]

yes

[forest laurel]

considering it's early morning in east coast

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jade quartz]

Queue via the duty finder

[sturdy sandal]

i am

[forest laurel]

are you dps

[sturdy sandal]

theres nobody, am i able to do it solo?

[jade quartz]

It'll be a bit slow atm particularly if you're a dps class

[sturdy sandal]

i think?

[jade quartz]

no, you cannot solo it

[forest laurel]

at your level you can't

you'll just die

[sturdy sandal]

im lancer rn

[onyx kiln]

which one of these are overall better for a lv 30 PLD?

[jade quartz]

that's dps yeah

[sturdy sandal]

ah ok

[jade quartz]

@onyx kiln right one

[sturdy sandal]

so i just have to wait ig?

[jade quartz]

yeah

[forest laurel]

yep

[sturdy sandal]

aw ok

[jade quartz]

hopefully not more than like 15 mins

but it's very late

[sturdy sandal]

eeeee ok

[forest laurel]

like I said it's early morning in east coast
so you'll have to wait quite a bit.

[sturdy sandal]

yeah i saw a lot of people nearby earlier

[forest laurel]

hmm

[sturdy sandal]

thats alright, i'll just wait

thanks tho

[quiet elm]

say i ask this since i don't mind spoiler

but what happened that make the gladiator to turn into a paladin?

[jade quartz]

At level 30 you unlock the quest to upgrade from gladiator to paladin.

[quiet elm]

yes, but i mean, story wise

[jade quartz]

You hear that a guy's teaching paladin skills

so you go learn paladin skills.

[kind burrow]

HELP

[quiet elm]

thats it?

[jade quartz]

yeah

[kind burrow]

XD

[quiet elm]

man

[kind burrow]

no seriously, i have a friend whos stuck with this screen

they'v tried everything

at least in the launcher

[glossy flare]

Most of the class to job transitions are pretty accidental tbh

[quiet elm]

that must have suck for people who heard gladiator and thought it be like, a gladiator

[simple pine]

What plugin or setting do I need to have my skill cast timeline overlayed in ACT? like some tutorial videos have? Trying to practice rotation and it would be helpful to see mistakes

[jade quartz]

@kind burrow try ensuring internet explorer is updated

that's internet explorer, not microsoft edge

[brave ravine]

@kind burrow what windows version are you using?

[jade quartz]

The launcher runs IE

[kind burrow]

one sec

[glossy flare]

Back when the game released you'd have to combine 2 classes to get your job and gladiator was a requirement for both Paladin and Warrior. So I suppose back then it wasn't such a whiplash

But that system was horrible for other reasons 🤷

[warped nest]

Certain important skills are locked behind certain classes

For example, Provoke was a Gladiator specific skill.

Even if you just want to play Warrior, if you planned to ever do any raid, you have to level Gladiator too (to lvl 40+ iirc)

[buoyant vault]

do you lose your ishgard sky point if u move server?

[cedar compass]

what materia can i add to a level 15 weapon? i need it for the alchemist quest

but my materia wont slot into it

[lone nacelle]

materia have a base level of weapon it can slot onto

for 15 its materia I

the materia you're trying to slot is probably higher grade

[cedar compass]

its actually lvl 20

still materia 1?

and where do i get that

[lone nacelle]

buy em off the market i guess

[cedar compass]

theyre 500k lol

[jade quartz]

???

They

very much should not be

search for Materia I

[lone nacelle]

check piety I

[untold sand]

is soul surrender and and far edge of fate long scenarios?

[lone nacelle]

idk about your server

but the rest of the materia I for my server is high except piety that i saw so far

[simple pine]

Can i disable that clicking on nothing removes my target?

[sturdy sandal]

i did the quest and im proud of myself ok sorry bye

[jade quartz]

No materia I is 500K on my server.

10K at most.

[buoyant vault]

can anyone tell me if u lose ur sky builder point if u move server?

[cedar compass]

found piety ones for 2k a piece

but some materia I had only 1 seller

for 500k

[simple pine]

Basically I only want to change targets by clicking, and remove targets only with ESC, not by clicking nothing

[jade quartz]

@buoyant vault you keep your total points. When ranking period is ongoing and you move servers, you lose your current-season ranking points

but not the total points which contribute to achievements and stuff

[buoyant vault]

ahh i see thank you @jade quartz

[sturdy sandal]

are characters locked to servers/worlds?

[cedar compass]

theyre locked to your datacentre

you can world travel inside the datacentre

[sturdy sandal]

ahh okay

ty

[jade quartz]

You can play on other worlds in your datacenter using world visit and do everything there except be in FCs, sell on the marketboard and own housing

and have/attend weddings

[sturdy sandal]

i saw i could choose a different world but it didnt show my character

[lone nacelle]

@simple pine i dont think so?

[jade quartz]

Your character is locked to one home world

which is the one you select to see your character on login screen

[sturdy sandal]

yeah so that one cant change?

[jade quartz]

but ingame you can visit other worlds on your datacentre

yes

[sturdy sandal]

OH

[jade quartz]

your home world stays the same

[sturdy sandal]

okay

theres a way to change in game?

[jade quartz]

you can change your home world for $18 USD

[sturdy sandal]

o yikes

fair

thanks my guy

[jade quartz]

Ingame you can freely visit worlds on your datacentre that aren't your homeworld

and play with people there and do open world content and stuff

[sturdy sandal]

OH okay nvm i thought you had to pay to play with other people in different worlds

[jade quartz]

You can only be in a Free Company, own a house, sell on the marketboard, and get married on your homeworld

[sturdy sandal]

just your home world?

[jade quartz]

In the character select menu you must be looking at your character's homeworld to see your character

You won't see your character if you switch the drop down menu to a different world

because that's not their homeworld

[sturdy sandal]

yeah thats what got me confused

i thought you couldnt see other worlds on your character because of that

[jade quartz]

ingame, you can visit other worlds by going to the main aetheryte in any of the three main starting cities and selecting "world visit"

and go to any other world on your data centre

[sturdy sandal]

oooo

[jade quartz]

as a "wanderer"

[sturdy sandal]

aetheryte is the big ol crystal right?

[jade quartz]

yes

[sturdy sandal]

ahhh okay that makes sense

ty

[jade quartz]

And play normally on that other world except for the limitations I mentioned above

[sturdy sandal]

yeah the house stuff and fc

pretty good

[jade quartz]

Can even log out on that world and when you log back in you'll still be on that world

[sturdy sandal]

sorry i just picked up the game lmao

[jade quartz]

but you still have to be looking at the list for your character's home world to select them upon login

even if they're currently visiting another world

[sturdy sandal]

ooo so if you're visiting another world and log back in, you'll be in that world until you travel back?

[jade quartz]

yeah

[sturdy sandal]

honestly already liking this more than the other mmo i play 👀

ty for the help tho

[jade quartz]

[calm phoenix]

Why is it "more than 30m" for Stone Vigil? I am going in to help a lower level player get through it and it has been 20 minutes and tells me more than 30 minutes

[sinful mist]

the "more than" don't coun't for anything. basically nobody queues for it atm probably.

could be a time thing. or bad luck.

if you're high enough level just go in unsynced.

[calm phoenix]

He wants XP from it though

I world hopped. This guy is a streamer

[kind burrow]

what is the difference between HQ Echo Drops and NQ?

[calm phoenix]

Plus I do not know if 67 is high enough

[buoyant copper]

Cooldown probably is the only difference

[kind burrow]

oh...thats good to know

[buoyant copper]

most potions have a shorter CD if they are HQ

Slightly

but still shorter

[glossy flare]

@calm phoenix Would you please stop complaining about queue times?

You do that almost every day and you keep getting the same answers

If you just wanna vent use #rants

[calm phoenix]

I am glitched inside a tent with my mount and I am UNABLE to move because of it! What do I do? the suggestion /unstuck from a month ago does not exist

[gritty oracle]

Teleporting worked for me when I got stuck in some railings in the Crystarium

Like, aetheryte teleport

or try dismounting if that helps

[calm phoenix]

It will not dismount

[sinful mist]

just teleport or logout and back in

[honest anvil]

For fishing quests that require a specific weather, what do i do? Just wait?

[fringe vortex]

Yeah I think so. There are places you can check for upcoming weather online and I think there's even an NPC that will tell you the forecast?

[honest anvil]

ye skywatcher

but was hoping there was a way to manipulate weather somehow

[glossy flare]

Nope

Weather always changes at 12 am, 8 am and 4 pm Eorzean time

Which you can watch by clicking on the time hud element in the upper right until it displays eorzean time

[honest anvil]

urgh ...

but tks

[terse kindle]

when im i able to swap job?

[eager widget]

At level 10 iirc

[terse kindle]

iirc?

[eager widget]

if I remember correctly

[terse kindle]

oh

[eager widget]

it also requires you doing your level 10 job quest as well

[terse kindle]

this one?

[eager widget]

yep, once finished you should get a window popup

the window will tell you about job unlocks etc

[terse kindle]

is warrior beginner friendly?

[buoyant copper]

I mean the tank Combat in general isnt as hard as most DPS anyways. Warrior is probably fine for Beginners though. I play Paladin more though.

[eager widget]

all the tanks are pretty good for beginners, Warrior mainly focuses on self heals through damage if that’s up your alley

they’re all pretty competitive too, so you can’t go wrong

[shrewd mirage]

Is Alphascape savage v4.0 really hard ?

[buoyant copper]

Are you unsyncing it?

[eager widget]

you’ve gotta do two mechanics the entire fight if you’re unsynced

[terse kindle]

i actually would like dark knight but im playing trial

[eager widget]

dashes during M/F, and the Hello World one in the second phase

Drk is actually available for you!

[slate arrow]

@terse kindle you can play dark knight once you get to Heavensward

[eager widget]

it’s just tied behind main story progression

[slate arrow]

Which is now in the free trial

[buoyant copper]

Yeah Dark knight should be free now

[terse kindle]

dont i need the expansions?

[buoyant copper]

You get Heavensward for free now

You get to play all the way to 60

[eager widget]

yeah ^ HW is now free for all

[terse kindle]

oh ok

[shrewd mirage]

Hmm can I solo it as unsynced or is there a way to make a group for it?

[terse kindle]

and when do i get dk?

[eager widget]

so a full expansion, all the jobs from it, and the content, are all free

[buoyant copper]

You cant solo alphascape unsynced yet

[eager widget]

you definitely need close to a full party for O12S

[shrewd mirage]

glamour runs is that something you do in the game?

[buoyant copper]

I mean it can be

Most people do the content as it comes out but its possible to organize Runs into Older content.

[eager widget]

people run raids for glams in PF plenty

[shrewd mirage]

Hmm then I could probably make a group

[inland zenith]

If I'm at Primal, and my friend is at Crystal, can we do content together?

[buoyant copper]

no

you have to be on the same Data center at least

[inland zenith]

ok

just confirming

[eager widget]

you can only play together on the same datacenter

[inland zenith]

ok ok! Thank you!

[shrewd mirage]

Thanks for the responds btw 💜

[manic flare]

what's the difference between yell and shout?

[faint flare]

Yell is larger range say, shout is zone wide

[manic flare]

so i can yell when im anywhere, and people in the same server would hear it?

[glossy flare]

No, yell is just a larger range than say

[faint flare]

No

[glossy flare]

Shout is zone wide, not server wide

[buoyant copper]

Yeah Yell is just say with a bit more range.

Shout is the zone. So if you are in Limsa upper. everyone in limsa upper sees it but Not the people in Limsa lower

[eager widget]

Yell was made for large gatherings of people in a zone, like for hunts, but without blasting the entire zone with shouts

[zinc orbit]

[eager widget]

it definitely is underused since people just shout regardless

[simple pine]

What is BR/boss relative in PF?

[buoyant copper]

I honestly dont know. (i've been taking a break so i dont know if you are talking about something in relevant content)

Whats the context?

[simple pine]

e5s, other savage raids

[eager widget]

boss relative is what it says, so here’s a good example

in the case of E5S, He dashes to the north or south for the furious 14 spear mechanic

your party has a set order they decide before the first pull, if it’s true north, those spots never shift

but boss relative means you adjust to the boss, so spots 1 through 7 become 7 through 1

so if you’re number 1 when the boss is up north, you’re 7 if the boss is south

[buoyant copper]

makes sense. also explains why i didnt know.

[simple pine]

How is the order determined for e5s? in all videos offtank is 1, and healers 6/7. Do people just call out which nr they want to be?

[leaden ginkgo]

can gc squad missions be used to level alts?

[fresh lodge]

yes

[eager widget]

it’s typically OT at 1, melees near 2-4, then casters rangers for 5-7

[fresh lodge]

Assuming you're talking about command missions anyways

[buoyant copper]

do you mean Alt Characters?

or Alt jobs?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah

alt jobs

[buoyant copper]

oh then yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

how efficient is it compared to other methods?

[eager widget]

they’re the fastest leveling strat for a dps up to 60

[leaden ginkgo]

Sweet

[eager widget]

due to zero queues, and your squaddies get STRONG

[buoyant copper]

If you dont have Queues Then they are good is basically how it is

[fresh lodge]

Eh

They're not as strong anymore

PotD is probably quicker if you get good queue times

[buoyant copper]

Its a good Alternative to PoTD but PoTD is stronger if you arent stuck waiting.

[bright knot]

speaking of potd, if im solo running as a base class will it turn into nin once i unlock it

[faint flare]

No

[eager widget]

nah you still need to do jerb quests for your stone

[faint flare]

The file is locked to rogue

[eager widget]

you’ll get to play it as if it was a level 60 rogue

[bright knot]

big oof, im deathless on floor 120

[warped nest]

World first potd solo with a class?

XD

[bright knot]

nah ill get destroyed at the end

[fierce helm]

what's standard way to get started on ex trials and other content? join random PFs?

[buoyant copper]

pretty much

[eager widget]

yeah, search for learning parties or find friends

[buoyant copper]

watch Videos and Reading guides is recommended

The Older the content is, the more they expect people to know what to do.

unfornately how it is

[warped nest]

If you want to do something absolutely blind

Then you are expected to make a party and recruit people with the same objective

[civic cove]

so I wanted to play a healer as I enjoy healing. When do I stop casting stone? :D

[leaden ginkgo]

Well at level 74 it upgrades to dia

[civic cove]

I'm honestly trying my best to get into the game, but I'm so bored only having 1 spell that does damage x.x

[leaden ginkgo]

Healers don't get a lot of damage abilities in general (though WHM gets a bit more than the other 2)

[eager widget]

White Mage has very little to do offensively until Assize at 54(?) and then Afflatus Misery in the 70’s

[civic cove]

I'm on free to play and even then level 74 is so far away

[eager widget]

thats just how all healers are

[leaden ginkgo]

Aero/dia, holy, stone/glare, blood lillies, assize

[civic cove]

makes me so sad :(

[leaden ginkgo]

Astrologians have the least i believe?

[eager widget]

aero and dia are the same thing sugaga

[leaden ginkgo]

Wait shit

I meant glare

Malefic, combust, gravity

[eager widget]

astro has some of the least in terms of offensive capabilities but they make up for it with the best party buffs out of all the healers

[leaden ginkgo]

Very true

[faint flare]

Earthly star as well

Does damage

[leaden ginkgo]

Scholars have energy drain, biolysis, broil, ruin 2, art of war

[civic cove]

so it seems leveling up as a healer is incredibly boring until you're max level, then you can finally enjoy it?

[leaden ginkgo]

I mean you tend to press the same 2 buttons for damage at level 80 too

[eager widget]

Healing itself is a fairly uneventful role until you begin learning fights for the first time, it’s set up that way so they can react to when someone’s in danger

[fierce helm]

idk, healers sometimes feel more boring at max level because you actually have to heal then 🤣

[civic cove]

starting to feel FF14 isn't really the game for me :S

I'd like to actually have to do something at least xD

[eager widget]

I will say though, as a WHM main, it’s definitely the most boring of the three healers

Why not give a dps a try?

[leaden ginkgo]

Ast is the most active i think cuz of the whole card thing?

[civic cove]

healing is normally my go to in games

[leaden ginkgo]

Same

But i had a go at dps and it's been pretty neat too

[civic cove]

just wished it was more interactive

[leaden ginkgo]

Interactive how so

[faint flare]

Well if you get baddies in your party then you havr stuff to do

But healing otherwise is scripted and predictable

[civic cove]

a bit more than just 1 damage spell until you level to 45 would be nice :S

[leaden ginkgo]

There's always gonna be tankbusters, raidwide damage, unavoidable AoEs

If you're looking for damage then try dps

[civic cove]

its not so much looking for damage, just something a little different to acttack stuff other than pressing 1 button T_T

[faint flare]

They removed thw extra dps buttons with this expansion

Like aero 3, extra dots and stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

Alternatively, try arcanist, because summoner (dps) and scholar (healer) both level at the same time

[civic cove]

I guess so

but doesn't that mean making another character and starting from level 1 ?

[faint flare]

No

Just go pick uo arcanist

You will be lv1 though

[leaden ginkgo]

You can have every single class on 1 character

^

[faint flare]

And a dps for the first 30 levels

But have all your items and stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

The only limitation is your inventory space

[civic cove]

ah okay, I've only just hit level 30 and its taken me a few days already I guess I could do it again

[leaden ginkgo]

Are command missions good leveling a tank?

[faint flare]

Its faster for alt jobs causw you get armoury bonus

[leaden ginkgo]

But yeah Arcanist starts as dps but you have a basic healing spell

[faint flare]

Which is GARBAGE

[leaden ginkgo]

Later levels yes but early its all u got 😔

[eager widget]

tanks naturally get fast roulette and dungeon queues, so it’s usually better to do that as a tank

[faint flare]

Its garbage on arcanist cause no Mind stat

[civic cove]

doesn't really make the game that appealing for new players then :l

[leaden ginkgo]

Which part?

[civic cove]

not having much choice in spells for classes, especially healers

[buoyant copper]

early game its a decent early spell

[faint flare]

Its just that role, since healers are you know, healers

[buoyant copper]

but it drops off quick without any mind

[eager widget]

not to mention the fights at that level aren’t all that demanding if your party is competent

I can understand the frustration, believe me

[agile laurel]

yeah physick at level 80 heals for about 2% of your max hp

it's comedic

[civic cove]

well thanks of the help guys ^^

[tulip river]

What is the best way of leveling up other classes that aren’t like your main class? I know daily roulettes are good to use but I want to level up more than just doing that. Something that isn’t a pain in the butt to do.

[tulip river]

Ohhh

[leaden ginkgo]

Ye

[simple pine]

What is "reclear" in savage raid PF? Makes it sound like it's not first clear/practice. But it also sounds less pro than farm/clear required

[faint flare]

Clearing it again

[simple pine]

but farm runs is also clearing it again

[faint flare]

Usually used as a term of weekly resets

[simple pine]

oh but all of eden is unlocked right? so there are no resets

[eager widget]

reclears can either be:

-Hey we’re killing it again for some stuff
-Clearing on an alt

[faint flare]

Since weekly lock is gone, not around much since yoy can fully farm

So farm parties are up

But with weekly lock, there's reclear parties to get their weekly kill and go

[eager widget]

^ reclear PFs become farms when the unlock happens

[simple pine]

ok so people that still post reclear now are most likely: alts / people that don't know it's unlocked / people that only want to run it once?

[eager widget]

naw it’s probably someone using improper jargon

[faint flare]

Means the same thing as farm at this point

Tbh

[buoyant copper]

Maybe they just want to do one run.

[amber ingot]

was it ever stated why we can reach till Captain rank in grand companies or its a rather forgotten rank system?

[brisk crypt]

its basically been abandoned since HW.

grand companies were not continued in HW and beyond, so take it as you will

Do SCH have a dispell?

Squadrons got a few new dungeons in HW, and that was the last the system has felt the touch of the devs.

[twilit arch]

it hasn't been abandoned sinc eHW

captain was added in sb

They don't want to add ranks just for the sake of adding ranks. So they intend to only add them when they are going to have something else (i.e glamour)

[whole wasp]

Do SCH have a dispell?
there is only esuna from the healer role actions

status effects with the blue bar at the top are cleansable with esuna

[leaden ginkgo]

@whole wasp What is the difference between Selene and Eos?

[whole wasp]

there isnt any more

pick whoever you like

[leaden ginkgo]

When it comes to tanks, is it better to use full suits of armor or separate pieces of gear?

[fast hull]

its more of the ilvl than pieces

[twilit arch]

just go with whatever has higher ilvl/stats

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey!

Quick question, I've done The Four Lords side quests in the game but I don't have it in New Game+. Is there a quest or something I missed?

[small rampart]

Is this a spoiler to watch for me as someone who just finished ARR?

[faint flare]

No, ultimates are just gaint boss gauntlets

They have no real lore or anything, theyre purely challenge

[wispy parcel]

The mount from O12Sis mini Omega right

[faint flare]

Yes

Its omega beetle

[wispy parcel]

Can it be banged out as fast unsynched as A12S or will I actually have to learn mechanics

[eager widget]

you’ll have to learn two mechanics

[faint flare]

You need to respect Fundamental syngery, patch and Hello world

[little swift]

You have to learn some mechanics

[faint flare]

But otherwise its fine

[eager widget]

a dash during M/F and Hello World

[wispy parcel]

is the mechanic actually called hello world

or is that a meme

[little swift]

Yes it actually is

[leaden ginkgo]

is that the one where half of you commit seppeku

[wispy parcel]

[little swift]

That's the pepega goodbye world strat

[leaden ginkgo]

[little swift]

Not particularly smart but it is what it is

[tidal yarrow]

how do I unlock the short jeans on the fashion leader boutique?

[agile laurel]

hello world is broadly the equivalent of temporal stasis

except one of them can be memed and one of them less so much

[faint flare]

And its called Hello, World ||Cause Final Omega is glitching trying to comprehend us and Hello, world is the first thing coders learn to do in code||

[small rampart]

what currency called ea?

[twilit arch]

it requires you to have 600pts from fashion report, so it'll take between 6-8 weeks depending on whether you do 100pts every week or 80 @tidal yarrow

[leaden ginkgo]

that's interesting vinyl

i like that

im looking at the debuffs it applies and im wondering... why/who dies during this? what does it resolve

🤔

[faint flare]

All of ||Final Omegas|| attacks are referencing ||Various glitching and coding stuff||

[leaden ginkgo]

now that's poggers

[faint flare]

Patch, archive all, etc

Critical bug error

[leaden ginkgo]

yoko taro: im gonna delete the servers
||final omega:|| hold my beer

[faint flare]

Se does like being Thematic

[leaden ginkgo]

it's a very cool touch

[agile laurel]

Iirc all the dps kill themselves

And the healers and tanks resolve what remains properly

Because its much easier and standard to do that

[halcyon glen]

That’s one way to do it yes

[agile laurel]

And then healers raise all the dps

[halcyon glen]

Do note that if you do that strat it becomes a very missable DPS check

Since Hello World 2 cannot be done like that

You need to kill before HW2

[agile laurel]

yeah the dps check becomes very unironic

[halcyon glen]

(Hint: it’s usually the same DPS who don’t want to bother learning Hello World who aren’t good enough at their class to meet the DPS check)

[leaden ginkgo]

interesting

i for one wlecome the elimination of dps

[small rampart]

what currency called ea?

[faint flare]

Ea usually short for each

[small rampart]

oh

thanks

now it makes sense

[elder matrix]

Is the choco companion even a thing in emdgame roaming?

[faint flare]

Its extra healing when soloing

And damage

[elder matrix]

So even level 80s using them

[faint flare]

No reason not to

Other than laziness like me

[tidal yarrow]

it requires you to have 600pts from fashion report, so it'll take between 6-8 weeks depending on whether you do 100pts every week or 80 @tidal yarrow
thank you

[faint flare]

Though its extra lag in hunts 🤷‍♂️ and causes culling more

[elder matrix]

Nah i love him..keeps away the loneliness in some areas^^

[leaden ginkgo]

there's no downside to having chocobo out

so

except when you're doing S rank fate and it keeps dying in one shot to AOEs 😢

[faint flare]

Or when there's too many and culls the mob

[manic flare]

what's the quickest way of leveling up without doing dungeons?

i just need to level a class to 30

[halcyon glen]

Palace of the Dead 1-60, heaven on high 61-70

[crimson wind]

Where should I go for some level 34 Miner levequests?

[twilit arch]

eastern la noscea

[crimson wind]

ty

Costa Del Sol or Wineport?

[twilit arch]

costa

[crimson wind]

Kk

[onyx kiln]

started to level up PLD right now. Is sheltron in the same catergory of cooldown as TBN for DRK when it comes to where you usually use it in fights?

[faint flare]

It serves the same purpose

[onyx kiln]

what would the equivalent be for WAR?

[faint flare]

Raw intuition/nascent flash

[manic flare]

is palace of the dead considered a duty?
i would like to level an alt class to 30 while queuing for dungeons for a different class

[onyx kiln]

ah, nascent flash is something i haven't unlocked yet

[faint flare]

Yes it is

[manic flare]

what would be the best way to level the alt class?

[obtuse pike]

hello, i'm new to the game, if i buy the game, i'll xp faster ?

[faint flare]

!faq altlvlguide

[manic flare]

just do sidequests?

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[faint flare]

No osh

[obtuse pike]

there is no interest to buy the game until i'm capped in level ?

[faint flare]

Nope, unless you really wanna remove the trial limitations

[obtuse pike]

i heard that i just need to buy the game + the last extension to get everything

that is correct ?

[faint flare]

Yes, or complete edition

Which has everything

In one package

[obtuse pike]

same total price ?

[faint flare]

Yes

Outside of sales

[manic flare]

is the percentage chance of boss loot increased for a particular class if there is a player of that class in the duty?

[faint flare]

No

[obtuse pike]

thanks

[faint flare]

Drop rates are fixed

[manic flare]

@faint flare so if im trying to solo a dungeon for a particular loot, i can be of any class?

[faint flare]

Yes

[manic flare]

what is the best class to solo a dungeon unsync'ed?

talking about a level 63 dungeon

[faint flare]

However you do get a guaranteed gear piece when you xlear a levelling dungeon for that role

So you may want to run on that role

[manic flare]

@faint flare what do you mean

[faint flare]

You get a guaranteed gear piece when you clear a dungeon

No duplicates

And always for your role/job

[twilit arch]

specifically the leveling dungeons

[faint flare]

Only in levelling dungeons, no level cap dungeons

[manic flare]

@faint flare so if i want a particular healer piece from a dungeon, i should play as a healer?

[faint flare]

It would be easier and quicker

With the guaranteed gear piece

[manic flare]

@faint flare is Shisui of Violet Tides considered a leveling dungeon?

[faint flare]

Yes

Its not at level cap

[manic flare]

what would be the best class to solo that dungeon?

i have a feeling healer might be a bit difficult

[faint flare]

Healer is fine if you're high enough cause you just heal

If you're 80 then you can easily face roll

[sour ruin]

Does main scenario roulette put you in non ARR dungeons if your job.is high enough level and you have them unlocked?

[granite swan]

No, theres only 2 dungeons for it

[sour ruin]

The two stinky ones

[granite swan]

Prae is awesome, its Castrum thats worthless :p

[sour ruin]

Praetorium takes soooo long though lol

[granite swan]

so do it while you eat supper :p

[sour ruin]

Yeah elevator scene is usually snack time for me

[shy gull]

why are there 3 Lakelands?

[faint flare]

Because there's instances currently

Due to too many people

Cause of the story patch, I would expect them to be removed on the 13th

[shy gull]

thanks!

[keen steeple]

I feel like I'm going nutters because I can't find it but does anyone remember when there was some kind of post that went around showing a moggle delivering presents for different NPCs?

[twilit arch]

sounds like the white day post

[wintry chasm]

^

[sweet leaf]

Is the Entry subscription only good for 30 days, and then it's only possible to get standard?

[faint flare]

No

[wintry chasm]

There was a white day post where a moogle was delivering stuff to a bunch of different ShB characters from the last one

[faint flare]

You can stay on entry forever

You just can only get 30days of sub at a time

While standard lets you bulk buy time

[oblique geyser]

i got i2501 error when registering new account

[granite swan]

For the Gathering Facet is it also 6 items or 18?

[rugged prairie]

very random question, when it comes to caster classes, BM or SUMM, is there one that is massively over populated or do players tend to play both? i like playing whats not the most popular

[slate arrow]

**Meta Jobs FAQ**

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[slate arrow]

As far as I know, almost all DPS populations are almost equal

At least, in duty finder content

[little swift]

Also hard to say since people can play everything on one character

[slate arrow]

There's plenty of bad players however fwiw

[granite swan]

i know i barely see ninjas in DF, tons of casters and samurai though :p

[little swift]

@granite swan iirc you need multiple amounts of the item
