blissful lava
#

Hello, what's the best and easiest recipe to make for the DOH Yellow Scrips?

patent citrus
#

hmm

#

do the weekly deliveries

vestal needle
#

Am i suppose to wear anemos equips in eureka to do more damage?

patent citrus
#

and produce the highest colectability

blissful lava
#

I'm melding Materia, weekly wont cut it unfortunately

patent citrus
#

ohh hmm check out the

#

i forgot the npc name zzz

obsidian patio
#

@vestal needle anemos gear doesn’t do anything special in eureka

patent citrus
#

scrips something, the npc beside the scrips exchange

hollow rain
#

Should i save the stellaclusters to sell materias on 5.4 ? want to make sure they dont suddenly make them easier to get on 5.4 🤔

vestal needle
#

@obsidian patio is there an equip im suppose to wear in Eureka? or do i stay with my lv 70 tome gear?

obsidian patio
#

Scaevan is good.

potent lava
#

Out of curiosity, could someone explain to me Undraws utility before the card reworks? Most of the old cards had positive effects, so why not dump it on someone instead?

analog gate
#

@patent citrus 490 should be enough, if you want to do the current raid tier you'll need to start the eden questline, starting quest is in Crystarium, titled In the Middle of Nowhere

patent citrus
#

ah yeah i unlocked all the blue quests

#

so i just start with eden savage? ok

obsidian patio
#

The only stuff with special stats for Eureka are the Elemental+2 armor, Physeos weapons, the BA chest pieces (Kirin/vermilion), and the special FATE equipment (Speed Belt, Optical Hat, Cassie earring)

blissful lava
#

I don't have the currency to exchange for non-combat materia

analog gate
#

you might want to start doing extreme trials first too, unlocked via the minstrelling wanderer in crystarium

patent citrus
#

im just not sure where to start, i see the akh afah (unreal) as faux hollow

#

was thinking i should start with that

#

if eden savage, eden savage it is

#

i guess the one with more people in it?

analog gate
#

eden's verse is the latest tier, gate is the one before

patent citrus
#

ok hmm

analog gate
#

not that many people doing eden's gate rn

patent citrus
#

which one gives edenchoir gear?

#

ok

analog gate
#

verse

obsidian patio
#

Verse

vestal needle
#

@obsidian patio Thanks for the info!

bronze narwhal
#

Heya guys, between pixie and qitali beast tribe, which one involves crafting like dwarf?

warped nest
#

Neither

#

Pixie is combat

analog gate
#

pixie is for DoW and DoM, qitari is for DoL

warped nest
#

Qitali is gatherer

bronze narwhal
#

Oh I see, thanks

#

Also, is there any power leveling guide for DoL? Like for example as for DoH, you just need to craft ishgard restoration items and turn them in

#

Or its just about levequest?

wintry chasm
#

Grand company deliveries of course, custom deliveries, Crystarium deliveries, beast tribes if you want, after that leves would be fastest but if you still have crafters to level I'd consider diadem since you can just get materials for that while getting decent exp and scrips

split breach
#

I really need help with choosing a server. currently playing on crystal but im from europe and want to transfer to a european server. I am from serbia and would ask where are most of balkan people playing at.

#

If not alot then im fine with choosing an english speaking one

wintry chasm
#

There isn't really an unofficial...Balkan server

#

And pretty much every server is "English" though Moogle is considered unofficial French and Shiva is considered unofficial German

split breach
#

Yeah i guessed these kind of games are not popular where i live soo i think i have a little chance to find someone speaking my first language

#

What about raiding scenes and rp

#

which servers have most of one or the other

wintry chasm
#

Eh for EU that doesn't really apply

#

A) it's about datacenters
B) Honestly wouldn't say EU has ever really gotten really into "hey everyone go to Light for RP and Chaos go for raiding"
We are chill like that

split breach
#

Last question i have: Light or chaos. just by which one is more populated

#

and thanks for the help btw

hot eagle
#

should be about the same since no eu world is preferred atm or congested

split breach
#

Ill just wait for later in the day to make my choise

#

maybe someone from my country writes here and i get lucky

#

again thanks for the help

obsidian patio
wintry chasm
#

but yeah Light and Chaos should be just about the same

#

Unlike NA which can have a really big population gap between servers EU doesn't have that

#

I guess because....no EU server really has any notoriety

#

It's all just about the same

glossy flare
#

Yeah, both are about the same

#

The only thing to note is that, when it comes to worlds, Shiva is the unofficial German world and Moogle (I think) the unofficial french one

#

Shiva being on Light and Moogle being on Chaos

#

If that influences your decision in any way 🤷

#

Doesn't mean you have to be German or French to play on either of those worlds, they just have a notably higher population of people speaking these languages

severe tusk
#

Does running dungeons in shadowbringer with npcs matter? Do you get unique dialog or anything?

wintry chasm
#

unique dialogue yes

#

It's neat

#

But the dungeon running will be slower

agile laurel
#

it's only a bit of comedy by the interactions between characters

severe tusk
#

I see. Worth it? I'm at dohn mehg

agile laurel
#

trusts have notably bad AI for aoeing

#

So trash takes a fucking age

#

Clarification: they cannot aoe

#

they just cannot

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I remove someone from my Squadron?

severe tusk
#

Oh. Im tank too. Well heck

sage monolith
#

At least it's easy to know where to go when an attack is comming in trust.

agile laurel
#

You also can rarely double pull

#

Alphinaud can barely do it, idk if Urianger can

spiral ridge
#

any other way of doing dps leveling 61-71 besides HoH / dailies? i use dailies to level healers and im grinded out of HoH

wintry chasm
#

How do I remove someone from my Squadron?
Once you hit the cap and you want to replace one person with a new recruit just recruit the new guy and it'll ask who you want to get rid of to make space

#

any other way of doing dps leveling 61-71 besides HoH / dailies? i use dailies to level healers and im grinded out of HoH
I assume by dailies you mean beast tribes

#

Otherwise uh

#

Fates + Highest level dungeon spam

sage monolith
#

any other way of doing dps leveling 61-71 besides HoH / dailies? i use dailies to level healers and im grinded out of HoH
@spiral ridge fates and dungeon... U can use the yokai event as an excuse

brave ravine
#

im in same spot -- i just dont play to keep from burning out and watch twitch until dailies pop again

sage monolith
#

I wanna get the game on pc so I don't have to switch between it and my ps4 on TV wearycarby

hidden lotus
#

Weird question; if we bought a Name Change and then decided against it, is there a way to refund that?

#

If that's mentioned in the purchase screen fine print, I definitely hadn't read that.

sage monolith
#

I don't think so? You can keep it for later iirc

hidden lotus
#

Well it doesn't let you log in with that character until you've chosen the new name..

obsidian patio
#

You’re forced to use the name change, unfortunately

#

You can try asking for a refund through square enix support, but it’s not likely.

leaden ginkgo
#

How often does FFXIV do a Callback Campaign? Think last one was 7/8 months ago

#

question about materia, a lot of the stats im seeing are like, +9 piety or +10 crit or whatever, should I even bother melding? seems useless

#

or should i just wait till lvl 80 to start melding

glossy flare
#

technically those would still make a difference at the level you get them

#

But the problem is more that you change gear so often while leveling that it would just be a waste

#

So yes, wait until 80

leaden ginkgo
#

i have like hundreds of materia cluttering my inventory so i was wondering if i should be using or selling them

glossy flare
#

you can try to combine them for a chance to upgrade them

leaden ginkgo
#

oh?

heady orbit
#

Where can i see how much time is left for exp bonus?

#

Idk when i created my char

glossy flare
#

There's an NPC in Central Thanalan that lets you combine 5 materia for a chance to upgrade them

#

The chance is pretty low though

leaden ginkgo
#

so its not worth it unless you have a ton to spare

#

ig

glossy flare
#

I mean, it's not like you would make a ton of gil with those low grade materia anyway

leaden ginkgo
#

true

glossy flare
#

@heady orbit The road to 70 buff you mean?

heady orbit
#

Yes

glossy flare
#

It's not time based per se

#

It is either 90 days or until they turn it off again

#

but it is always a minimum of 90 days

leaden ginkgo
heady orbit
#

Cuz i have more than 90 days

glossy flare
#

Exactly, you can have more than 90 days

heady orbit
#

And still i get 150%

glossy flare
#

90 days is just the minimum

heady orbit
#

Thanks

brave ravine
#

@leaden ginkgo it's the city you go to after you do some quests after you beat ruby weapon

warped nest
#

The buff is gone when the World is no longer Preferred and your character is 90 days old

obsidian patio
#

More precisely, it’s Terncliff after beating up ||Sapphire Weapon||. You can get back there by talking to a resistance NPC in The Lochs by Porta Praetoria

warped nest
#

So the minimum 90 day is only possible if you make a new character and the world stop being preferred within 3 months, which is highly unlikely

leaden ginkgo
#

I guess I didn’t finish the quest yet then, thank you @brave ravine

heady orbit
#

My char was made 4 or more months ago

#

Im in Spriggan

obsidian patio
#

...lemme double check

sour ruin
#

Anyone got any ways to make some money with ~lvl 60 CRP? Nothing crazy but it would be nice if there was a way to turn a small profit while leveling

obsidian patio
#

Leve items are probably your best bet when leveling up

leaden ginkgo
#

anyone know approx how much a crafter would charge me for a full set of unmelded aesthetes if i provided all mats?
@rigid narwhal there's a person in party finder that crafts your gear without charge if you give them the mats

rigid narwhal
#

not on primal 😦

leaden ginkgo
#

ow

rigid narwhal
#

ty tho no reasons

#

i'll probs just ask my guildie if he'll do it when he wakes up

obsidian wren
#

Yeah you are supposed to see them afaik

rigid narwhal
#

i just wanted to farm some white scrips

obsidian wren
#

@prisma mirage

rigid narwhal
#

aaand i can only really get the lvl 78 one with my gear soo

prisma mirage
#

?

obsidian wren
#

The archive channels are visible for people with datacentre roles yeah

#

Thats intended

#

Those 2 archived ones at least

prisma mirage
#

oh cool

#

just wondering

gloomy mortar
#

When does the dwarf beast tribe unlock? I finished ShB and still don’t have it

obsidian wren
#

You need to do the dwarf questline first

#

I believe it's a bluequest bluequest chain

brave ravine
#

also requires high crafting skills

prisma mirage
#

THERES A DWARF TRIBE?!?!?

gloomy mortar
#

Where is it? I did all the quests in Tomra

obsidian wren
#

Also lv 70+ crafters yeah

prisma mirage
#

i need to buy this game

obsidian wren

/laliho

timber condor
#

my ps4 sounds like a jet engine when i play ffxiv. i think i still use the stormblood disc. it doesnt seem like the game is having trouble running but my console sounds like it's working really hard and struggling lol. anyone have any insight?

glossy flare
#

How old is your PS4?

timber condor
#

i maybe got it in 2016

glossy flare
#

And I'm gonna assume you never cleaned it

#

So probably just lots of dust in the fans

timber condor
#

ive used compressed air to try and blow the vents but idk what else i can do for it

glossy flare
#

If you just blowed it inwards then that's not gonna do much good

timber condor
#

oh

obsidian patio
#

Yep, I recommend looking up a tutorial to properly open up the PS4 to clean it from the inside

glossy flare
#

gotta take it apart

#

it's not hard, don't worry

obsidian patio
#

Just make sure you give it time from unplugging it before you start cleaning it

#

And taking any disc inside out, to avoid scratching it

timber condor
#

i see i see. should i still use compressed air? ill see if i can find a good video tutorial

glossy flare
#

That's still useful to avoid touching any electronics, yeah

#

It's just that if you blow the dust inside the device it will just get swirled around by the fans yet again

obsidian patio
#

A bit of compressed air and those cotton ear cleaners

#

For the more delicate parts

timber condor
#

do you think i would have to take it apart? idk how to use the compressed air without blowing whatever dust further inward

glossy flare
#

You don't have to take it apart completely

obsidian patio
#

Taking apart, in this context, is basically just removing the “shell” of the PS4

glossy flare
#

Just gotta remove a few covers to get to the really dusty parts

#

Again, it sounds scarier than it is 🙂

timber condor
#

ok 🙂 ill see what i can do

gloomy mortar
#

About how much faster do you go with a riding map?

obsidian patio
#

Rank 1 is like 50% IIRC, rank 2 is the same as flying speed

#

Note that riding maps don’t boost flying speed at all

gloomy mortar
#

So if your flying, what’s the point ?

glossy flare
#

No point really, flying will always be fastest

#

Or rather just as fast as the best riding speed

simple pine
#

is there a faq command for lockout?

obsidian patio
#

In terms of which lockout?

#

Like weekly stuff?

simple pine
#

I'm interested in how lockout will work for the next raid tier of eden

gloomy mortar
#

When does eden unlock?

simple pine
#

end of SHB main story

obsidian patio
#

I don’t think we have a faq for it, but I assume they’ll use the same system as they have been

open coral
#

Yeah, it'll likely just be the same as always.

#

With the cap unlocking about two months before the next expansion, give or take.

simple pine
#

what is "the same as always"? :p

obsidian patio
open coral
#

They usually unlock loot for the final raid tier around the same time that they uncap the final type of tomestones.

obsidian patio
#

Also note that if even if you clear a savage floor again for that week, you can’t roll on anything

#

You only get the first clear of each floor every week for a chance at the items in the coffers

simple pine
#

ok so you are locked out once the boss is killed, regardless of if you roll or not. and then you being locked out also has affect on other party members who arent locked out

open coral
#

Yes

obsidian patio
#

And skipping floors counts as you clearing previous floors

simple pine
#

and the first time through the tier you are forced to clear it in order right?

open coral
#

Also yes.

obsidian patio
#

You have to clear it in order every week

simple pine
#

for loot you mean? i just meant the first time you cant even select a later raid before doing the earlier one

glossy flare
#

only for normal

simple pine
#

also for savage is what i was told

glossy flare
#

You technically unlock all the savage wings at once after clearing all the normal floors via the questline

gloomy mortar
#

When does Heaven on High unlock?

glossy flare
#

Gotta clear PotD floor 50 first

obsidian patio
#

Pretty much when you’re done in the Ruby sea in terms of leveling story

glossy flare
#

Then it's just a quest after the ruby sea questline, yeah

untold sand
#

why is it that the diadem higher end resources is 0% pickup rate for me?

obsidian patio
#

Need better stats

#

What’s your current gear?

untold sand
#

highest current

obsidian patio
#

Yeah that’s not good enough for the level 70/80 items

#

Probably the level 60 stuff too

untold sand
#

well then here i gi grindin again

#

pretty much only thing i can gather is the lvl 10 stuff in diadem

plain python
#

what is the second ring at lv60 should I get?

#

the store bought from isghard?

warped nest
#

Yeah, the other Poetic ring in Ishgard

glossy flare
#

That one is fine if you don't want to worry about it too much

#

Yeah not the one from the gil vendor

#

the other poetics set, diabolic I believe

exotic ridge
#

after requisat is it 4 HS or 5? (PLD)

glossy flare
#

4

exotic ridge
#

with a spirits within and intervene in the middle?

glossy flare
#

In terms of the opener you wanna get those out at the start

#

So it depends on which opener you use, Reqiescat first or FoF

exotic ridge
#

fof

glossy flare
#

See image above, first opener uses them during FoF, second one during Requiescat

exotic ridge
#

hmm ok

untold sand
#

is there alternative storage besides inventory, retainers, chocobo and armory chest?

exotic ridge
#

I kinda start witha small combo to get me going then go into the longer stuff

untold sand
#

for items and stufff

glossy flare
#

Which opener you use depends mostly on the boss you fight, because you try to line up your Reqiescat phase with mechanics that force you away from the boss

#

Or where it is easier to move away from the boss

#

If that doesn't matter at all I usually go with the FoF opener

leaden ginkgo
#

So I was gonna try out Black mage and wanted to know one thing. Is having to move a lot an issue in non savage/extreme scenarios? Like on normal dungeons and stuff

exotic ridge
#

I doubt would ever be that knowldge able.. so fof

leaden ginkgo
#

Like at one stage in the game go mages have to start moving around a lot

rigid narwhal
#

yes

glossy flare
#

@untold sand Company chest, but that's not personal storage

obsidian patio
#

@untold sand you can use the glamour dresser as storage for equipment

untold sand
#

i was rather refering to item drops and such

glossy flare
#

And yeah, having to move a lot is the main drawback of BLM

untold sand
#

im already struggling with inventory

#

LOL

glossy flare
#

The job basically requires good knowledge of every fight you go into so you can minimize your own movement

#

If you know what's gonna happen you can adjust most of the time

obsidian patio
#

Plain monster drops I either junk or vendor sell half the time

#

They’re usually so cheap that they aren’t worth the inventory slot

leaden ginkgo
#

@glossy flare But what about in early game content? Are there a lot of mechanics that force BLM to move around? Or is that mostly just in late game stuff?

obsidian patio
#

In terms of pre-50 it’s pretty chill for the most part

glossy flare
#

It obviously becomes harder later on, but not pre-50

#

After that it depends on the fight

#

Sometimes it's a breeze, sometimes it's Amaurot

#

fuck Amaurot as a BLM

obsidian patio
#

Though as you level up you get more and more tools for instant casts and movement

#

!action aetherial manipulation

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Aetherial Manipulation** : lvl 50 THM BLM (10.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Rush to a target party member's side.
Unable to cast if bound.

untold sand
#

it it even worth using all classes. my weapon inventory is almost full lol

glossy flare
#

Yeah, BLM has the most movement tools of all the casters

obsidian patio
#

Leveling up all the jobs is up to you

glossy flare
#

It's just a job that requires some foresight and good usage of your skillset

obsidian patio
#

I think with no duplicate weapons for a job you have 6 or 7 spare slots in the mainhand section

glossy flare
#

Pretty tactical really, if you like something like that

obsidian patio
#

Not counting the empty slot you need to swap with gearsets

glossy flare
#

Really, gearsets unequip and then equip everything so it needs an empty slot for each category?

#

Didn't know that 🤔

obsidian patio
#

Yep

glossy flare
#

that seems a bit annoying for no reason whatsoever

#

but good to know

obsidian patio
#

Well it has to for situations where a gearset has slots with no items in them

#

And it can’t equip the old set to the new set due to level/job restrictions

glossy flare
#

Yeah, fair enough

whole yarrow
#

New here in Final Fantasy realm, any specifics in how to gear and level up an Archer ?

digital wyvern
#

Until you get to 50/60, MSQ will provide gear that you'll use most of the time. As far as stats, I'm not sure

glossy flare
#

Follow the main story quests

#

Any meaningful content is locked behind story progression

obsidian patio
#

Take gear with dexterity on it

glossy flare
#

Level means nothing without the story progress

digital wyvern
#

^Correct, I was just meaning at 50/60/70 you have "milestone" gear like Ironworks, Scaevan, Shire, etc. Which also gets replaced by the MSQ gear after a certain part

timber condor
#

is shadowbringers over or will there be another patch for it?

wintry chasm
#

2 more patches

digital wyvern
#

I believe it "ends" at 6.0, so there's still content being released for this expansion, and I think the next patch should be on the 13th?

wintry chasm
#

Well

#

I guess more like 2 and a half patches

#

since 5.5 would kinda be split a bit between 5.5 and 5.56

#

but then new expansion

wispy parcel
#

Without getting into it too much the main plot of ShB is over and the next 2 major patches are the gonna be the set up for the next expansion

wintry chasm
#

I believe it "ends" at 6.0, so there's still content being released for this expansion, and I think the next patch should be on the 13th?
13th is just adding more resistance weapon stuff. It's not like, a new new patch one would expect

digital wyvern
#

Oh is Bozja not confirmed/new content for the 13th? I thought that was their new area with the fates, etc?

wintry chasm
#

Resistance stuff is that

#

yes

wispy parcel
#

It is but that isnt whats considered a major patch

wintry chasm

Nope, you only need the correct minion out.

#

i have so much materia from story and dunno wtf to do with them

#

lol

heady orbit
#

War or GNB as my first tank?

untold sand
#

its like materia IV in 9 slots in inventory

wispy parcel
#

WAR as its much easier to get into as a first tank

#

Hello everyone, new player coming from WoW. Made my first character and started as a Thaumaturge, since I like Mages, with the hopes of having a similar gameplay to the mage class from WoW but I kinda felt overwhelmed with the MP system and the rotation. Any how, I'm looking for recommendations as to which class would be somewhat easy for a new player in FF XIV. I see that Warriors and Paladins are Tanks and the only Plate melee DPS is the Lancer, right?

untold sand
#

is IV materia worth saving?

wispy parcel
#

Honestly I wouldnt recommed being a tank if youre just starting

#

Lancer is the DPS job thats most recommended as its sinple to grasp and once it becomes a Dragoon later on its still simple but has decent amount of weaving to be optimal

heady orbit
#

U can try lancer

wintry chasm
#

is IV materia worth saving?
Nope!

untold sand
#

and to then meme cartwheel off stage before fight starts

strange coral
#

@untold sand Sell it on the MB. Materia doesn't matter much until 80.

wispy parcel
#

Just keep in mind none of the jobs in this game play like wow at all

#

Theres no specing system and they all have linear binary rotations

clever hare
#

I'm just trying to take a break from WoW. And since I don't really like TESO or GW2, the only other good MMORPG out there is FF XIV

strange coral
#

@clever hare Lancer/dragoon job gear probably is the closest to "plate" for a dps class, but plate as an armor type doesn't really exist in XIV. There are some plate-like glamours (transmog) that can be used on any class.

wintry chasm
#

^

#

Pretty much

#

but the armour type that dragoon wears, maiming, can't be worn by another job and I guess it has more of that kind of style

wispy parcel
#

Dragoons in FF canon wear pretty skin tight armor, amd honestly looks really bad on the bigger races like Rogedyn or Hrothgar

clever hare
#

And between the Mages, which one would be easier for a noob: Arcanist, Thaumaturge or Conjurer?

wintry chasm
#

conjurer is a healer

#

thaum is a DPS

#

and arcanist can both be DPS and healer

wispy parcel
#

Thaumaturge which becomes Black Mage Id say is easier than what Arcanist becomes later

wintry chasm
#

I seriously wouldn't even bother with "what is easiest" because the game eases you into whatever you pick

#

it's kind of a moot concern

clever hare
#

I really wanna give this game a try, but coming from WoW, it's kinda overwhelming 😆

#

The good thing is that I can be all classes on 1 character

heady orbit
#

Just first few weeks or days

wintry chasm
#

Like, you get skills as you level actually pretty slowly so you can't exactly like, pick a class, hit level 10, and get confused over 30 spells

wispy parcel
#

Well this game is meant to be played at a slow pace, so just take your time

heady orbit
#

After u pass ARR everything will be better

clever hare
#

Which data center would you guys recommend?

wintry chasm
#

You NA?

clever hare
#

Yup

wintry chasm
#

Uhhh

#

You like RP?

clever hare
#

Umm, never been into it tbh

heady orbit
#

Pick one what gives u bonus exp

wispy parcel
#

All NA DCs are located in the same place so connection wont be an issue

#

Aether and Primal are pretty much the same

wintry chasm
#

Ugh

wispy parcel
#

Crystal is slightly more RP focused

clever hare
#

Pick one what gives u bonus exp
@K.M.™#8364 some servers give bonus xp?

wintry chasm
#

Yeah Aether and Primal are pretty "normal" data centers

heady orbit
#

Yes 50%

wintry chasm
#

No KM

#

More

#

But I'll explain that in a second

clever hare
#

At what cost?

wintry chasm
#

hang oooon

#

Aether and Primal are more normal data centers that you would kinda expect. I wouldn't really say it focuses on "anything." Crystal is a lot more chill RP focused data center. You can still raid there but the scene is smaller.

#

preferred servers are servers that give you an xp bonus that doubles ALL sources of xp when you are level 70 and below that lasts for usually 90 days

@clever hare

wintry chasm
#

Thanks

outer plank
#

did you get your answer?

#

tham and blm are like a balancing act

#

its very simple

wispy parcel
#

Preferred Servers are basically that way cause they have a lower population and devs are trying to get more people on them

wintry chasm
#

"lower"

outer plank
#

for now, you got 2 stances

#

fire and ice

clever hare
#

@wintry chasm interesting

outer plank
#

fire is your dps stance, it does the most damage, you see that fire orb around you? that increases your fire damage

wintry chasm
#

Honestly not only do I think that preferred servers are not that empty but since they are preferred they are going to feel more full since there are more people at your level going running around

#

(Jeez my spelling sucked)

untold sand
#

best leveling method 70-80?

outer plank
#

essentially you wanna keep spamming fire to your out of mp, then use transpose (for now) to go into ice form, ice form recovers mana and increases ice damage, keep spamming blizzard 1 to your mp is full then you transpose back to fire to spend all your mana @clever hare

wintry chasm
#

Isiah maybe a more general explanation is better

outer plank
#

you just go back to empty, switch to ice to fill up your mp, then switch back to fire to empty it

#

back and forth

clever hare
#

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I read, as a THM I open with Thunder, Use my fire spell until I'm almost out of MP, then Transpose and use my Blizzard spell until MP is full again?

Yup, thanks @outer plank

#

thunder is formless, what thunder is a simple dot skill that you should throw on an enemy that doesnt die in 3 gcds

#

if you can kill it in 3 fires

#

its not worth using thunder

wintry chasm
#

I just linked the rotation for you Ryzux

but if you cant, always use thunder

Wait Crystal is rp focused?

clever hare
#

My THM is lvl 12 atm, I was trying to see where/when I could learn another class

wintry chasm
#

Yes

sour ruin
#

I've been here this whole time and seen maybe one person with the rp tag..

wintry chasm
#

Also on the 13th the new Bozja stuff will introduce another leveling alternative which is maybe going to be better but who knows

#

You can pick up all the other classes when you do your thaumaturge level 10 class quest Ryzux

clever hare
#

What's the name?

#

I think I already did it

wintry chasm
#

uhhh

#

fuck one second

outer plank
#

@clever hare around the lv 15 msq you will be able to visit other hub towns in arr. if you're a starting thaum that means your in uldah which has the gladiator job (tank) and the pugilist job (monk) dps job

The Threat of Paucity

outer plank
#

@clever hare which server are you in

wispy parcel
#

@sour ruin *when I was on crystal very few RP'ers had the RP tag in general

clever hare
#

@outer plank let me check real quick

wintry chasm
#

but yeah once you have done The Threat of Paucity you can just go to the other guilds in the city and accept the classes from there and yeah for the classes/guilds that are in other cities you have to do what Isiah said

#

do the level 15 main story quest that takes you to the other cities

clever hare
#

@outer plank I'm in Siren

outer plank
#

ah, in aether, im leveling an alt there but my main

#

is in primal data center

#

so i cant really help you out and show you stuff there

#

im sure theres someone around aether that can show you around

#

since its the most popular data center

clever hare
#

I can switch to Primal, I'm just starting out 😅

outer plank
#

well do you? cause primal means you either have to transfer (25$) or start a brand new character

wintry chasm
#

Don't take this the wrong way but I wouldn't swap your data center for some weird internet person you just talked to

outer plank
#

i dont think its worth the effort, aether is fine for you

#

@wintry chasm seigi

sour ruin
#

Honestly with this game's community I feel asking around aetherlytes for help would probably get at least some nice person to lend you a hand

outer plank
#

im not weird

clever hare
#

😂

outer plank
#

well anyways, once you reach a certain level, you will be able to freely switch between fire and ice form without transpose but i forgot which level you get the trait for that

clever hare
#

And when can I get a mount?

outer plank
#

lv 20

wintry chasm
#

level 20 main story

outer plank
#

when you pick a grand company (there are like factions, but not really)

clever hare

Interesting

everything in this game is gated by the story

Cause the story is like 70% of the game

@wispy parcel 80% yes

dungeons, trials

ect

#

all gated to story

quiet elm
#

does anyone here play lalafell

wintry chasm
#

Also btw

you will be able to freely switch between fire and ice form without transpose but i forgot which level you get the trait for that
It's less about a trait and more about just getting Blizzard 3 which is 40

i wanna see how big the warrior axe their wield compare to their body

80% yes
90%

@quiet elm scales with the body

wispy parcel

Technically even the raids are story important

outer plank
#

its about as big as it would be on hyur

quiet elm
#

i mean yes, i know that

#

but eh, i wanna know what it look like later on cus right now i only have the normal low level gear

#

and i heard battle axe can get bigger

wintry chasm
#

Vargos why don't you just try on an axe as a lalafell?

wispy parcel
#

Axes are mostly the same size

wintry chasm
#

Oh I see

outer plank
#

^ no axe in particular stands out as being that big

#

they are porptionally the same size roughly

quiet elm

i wish there is a website that i can look around

outer plank
#

there is a website that host all the weapons and appearances

IF YOU really want to see the

quiet elm

i wanna see the glamor to see if warrior look cool

scenic whale

Either im blind or something but i dont have the npc to start the crystal tower quest line

quiet elm
#

atm i look like this, but some how the axe on my friend lvl 80 warrior felt bigger (compare to his body size) than me

plain python
#

does Scholar keeps Physick?

scenic whale

or im at the wrong place or something

quiet elm
#

he is one of those lizard people

Aside from the job specific artifact armor

scenic whale

Yea scholar keeps

All tanks wear the same gear

Im where the wiki says the npc is but theres no one here

wintry chasm

I know it's just the body to use as a measure but

wispy parcel
#

Thats the seeing horde axe

#

Its a decent chunk o change on the MB, or you can craft it yourself

quiet elm

that is bigger

#

nice

wintry chasm
outer plank
#

thats my favorite axre

wintry chasm
#

But yeah I think that's enough

crimson wind
#

does Scholar keeps Physick?
@plain python You can pretty much take it off your bar after you get aetherflow. Its absolute trash even when you like really really need it for whatever reason

#

if you want a gcd heal, just emergency tac adlo

wintry chasm
#

🤔

#

I mean

#

I wouldn't take it off your bar

crimson wind
#

Well you can keep it on

wintry chasm
#

For starters, if you join a low level dungeon before you have adlo...

crimson wind
#

but I personally like to minimize bar clutter

#

Im speaking from a level 80 perspective

#

since I only do expert roulette on Scholar

outer plank
#

ngl, as a warrior, playing with scholar is scary as fuck

buoyant sorrel
#

You know how it says you can attract new recruits to your squadron by completing stuff in the challenge log? Is that anything in the challenge log or battle specific challenges?

crimson wind
#

ngl, as a warrior, playing with scholar is scary as fuck
@outer plank how

#

in dungeons you should barely need to be healed

outer plank
#

because im dancing around waiting for the fairy to do shit while the scholar is spamming art of war

wintry chasm
#

Anything in the log Amoretta

crimson wind
#

Uhhhhh

#

Equilibrium?

#

Nascent Flash?

buoyant sorrel
#

Anything in the log Amoretta
@wintry chasm okay thank you! 😊

outer plank
#

ofc i use mitigation and stuff like that, i still feel anxious seeing my hp drop to 20% after nascent wears off.

#

mostly for the big big pulls

#

post nascent its not a big deal

#

put im talking about like pre nascent and the traited quilibrium

crimson wind
#

then your scholar is bad

leaden ginkgo
#

When exactly do I need to start giving a crap about the story when it comes to post ARR?

#

Cause as of right now I don't. The regular story was fun to watch and I didn't move the fetch quests. But this is just grating

crimson wind
#

The whole time

leaden ginkgo
#

Mind

wispy parcel
#

As soon as they start mentioning dragons and ishgard

#

And the crystal braves

crimson wind
#

ok around Shiva

outer plank
#

thats kind of hard to say, i know the 30-50 story is sort of a slog, the 2.x series have some highlights but sort of a slog, the end of 2.5x its a pretty treat

#

just listen to the voiced story

#

you should be able to piece together anything important

#

especially when you see "several cutscenes will play" or something like that

wispy parcel
#

The crystal braves are such a pivitol point of the plot they kick start the next 2 expansion

outer plank
#

those have some really story stuff

So like... 2.3 or 2.4 is where things get interesting?

outer plank
#

i'd say 2.1x, 2.2x are just dealing with some primals that prop up mostly

strange coral
#

I would say 2.4 is when you should be paying attention for the HW lead up

outer plank
#

you also meet in important character (yugiri) who will be important

#

later

#

in 2.2

proud willow
#

uh, and 2.1

leaden ginkgo
#

I see. I'm just trying to blow through this as fast as I can so I can unlock machinist

proud willow
#

Each of the 2.X patches has been trimmed down to remove the unneeded stuff, so what's left is pretty dang important to the overall story

outer plank
#

oh neat ^

shut panther
#

why am I still experiencing a significant wait time when queuing as adventurer in need?

#

for experts

#

wouldn't adventurer in need suggest a line of parties waiting for my role to be filled

crimson wind

What's significant to you

shut panther
#

5 minutes now

glossy flare
#

That's not significant at all 😄

outer plank
#

crimson wind
#

That's pretty insignificant.

shut panther
#

for experts? as adventurer in need?

#

I'd understand getting it

#

for other queues, or as not adventurer in need

crimson wind
#

Adventurer in need is a dumb system

shut panther
#

but it doesn't make logical sense to me for experts

outer plank
#

its not prime time. its still relatively in the morning but yeah

wispy parcel
#

If youre a DPS thays just how it is since even if they are in need you need at least 2 dps per instance

glossy flare
#

Anyway, let's say tanks are the role in need right now, that doesn't mean the queue has enough healers 🤷

proud willow
#

speaking as someone with a programming background, matchmaking is kind of complicated

glossy flare
#

Don't assume too much

strange coral
#

You're not the only person that queues when the bonus comes up. By the time you queue it might not be in need anymore.

leaden ginkgo
#

So basically I can just skip through the non cutscene dialogue and still have a basic idea of things?

strange coral
#

And the bonus only updates every few minutes, not in real time.

crimson wind
#

No?

proud willow
#

keep in mind that there could be a need for tanks/healers for duties which you do not have unlocked

outer plank
#

@leaden ginkgo pretty much

crimson wind
#

I don't understand why you can't just read everything

outer plank
#

except for something after dungeons

#

like in the keep of the lake

#

that cutscene that plays is really important

leaden ginkgo
#

@crimson wind Because not everyone has the same amount of time as you to dedicate to this game

crimson wind
#

I mean there's nothing wrong with going slow and taking everything in

glossy flare
#

Rushing things does not necessarily mean you will enjoy it more. Just general life advice here tbh

crimson wind
#

Then speeding through and taking some in

glossy flare
#

I mean, you can consume whatever you want in the way you want, we're just saying it might lead to a worse experience down the line

crimson wind
#

It's shortened for a reason

glossy flare
#

If you wanna skip stuff then go skip stuff

#

But don't expect our permission or something 🤷

crisp ether
#

its funny when people skip cutscenes and story then complain they dont understand what's going on

If i start a roulette i have already done before reset, but i’ll finish after reset, will i get the roulette rewards?

#

its funny when people skip cutscenes and story then complain they dont understand what's going on
@crisp ether No one did that though

#

If i start a roulette i have already done before reset, but i’ll finish after reset, will i get the roulette rewards?
@honest anvil yes

crisp ether
#

i wasnt referencing only people in this chate

glossy flare
#

Rewards are based on the time of completion

honest anvil
#

tks

glossy flare
#

Which is also why a lot of people already queue a bit before reset

#

especially for the longer content like alliance raids

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm not asking for permission. I just want to prioritize things. I don't understand why people get so offended when someone mentions this subject. It's not like I don't care for the story, or that I'm trying to rush through things. I watch videos on classes and practice rotations just like you people.

crimson wind
#

I don't think anyone got offended

crisp ether
#

play the game how you want honestly, its your money/time

#

nobody can tell you how you have fun

glossy flare
#

No one is offended tbh, if anything you acted a bit accusatory because of another's opinion. But that's neither here nor there and doesn't help people in any way :/

leaden ginkgo
#

You sounded pretty put off by asking me why I don't want to read suspect l dialogue

crimson wind
#

No, no I didn't

glossy flare
#

Eh, I sympathize, ARR is a slog but also kind of important in some places

#

It's just all over the place

crisp ether
#

Because not everyone has the same amount of time as you to dedicate to this game
this comes off as pretty accusatory

glossy flare
#

Which is why I would suggest working through it, but if you don't want that then don't

crimson wind
#

You don't know how much time I have to play.

leaden ginkgo
#

@crisp ether No it doesn't. That's just a fact if life

crimson wind
#

Hell, I could only be able to play 1-2 hours a day and you would never have known

glossy flare
#

At this point this is just a he said, she said situation so uhm... stop this, please?

crisp ether
#

you made an assumption about someone's playtime with no evidence though

#

which is why it's accusatory

gloomy mortar
#

About how long does it take to do a potd 1-50?

glossy flare
#

Could probably do it in an evening with a group of 4 people

#

We almost did last week, then walked into a trap and died

#

D:

crimson wind
#

Sounds like average potd, cypher

glossy flare
#

Sad, but true

#

Though I will say if you queue for it and go in with randoms it might take a lot longer because of queue times

#

Most people queue for deeper floors and not the first 50

crimson wind
#

50-60

gloomy mortar
#

Do you need to study up for potd or is it just tank and spank?

crimson wind
#

Pretty much

glossy flare
#

just tank and spank for the most part, the spicy bit is the randomness of things

#

Like walking into a trap that spawns a shit ton of mobs

#

I'm not salty, you're salty

leaden ginkgo
#

I asked a simple question about what parts of post ARR were important to the overall story in order to speed up my progress through it. Because of how much of a slog it is to get through and my limited amount of time. That is all. And while I did get the answer I was looking for, I also got push back about the idea of skipping through certain dialogue. How is that not someone taking offense?

strange coral
#

Drop it, please. Or take it to DMs

crimson wind
#

This is a worthless topic anyway

glossy flare
#

To answer your question: With the now reduced number of quests there is no part of post-ARR that has absolutely no importance. Obviously some parts are more important than others

#

But I would advise against skipping anything

#

If you do wanna skip things then just read fast or skim it

crimson wind
#

Just git gud cypher. Open your third eye

wintry chasm

We're not dropping the subject because we don't like it, we're dropping the subject because it's no longer a question.
and even then someone did give a fair answer to what can and can't be skipped

Look @leaden ginkgo we answered your question but this is something that obviously has heavy personal bias since it's mostly based on if you like something or not, which is obviously not an objective thing. I will admit that most of the people here are against skipping but that's just what it is

You can either roll with that or don't, it's your decision

Enjoy the game however is best for you

**Bristle** : lvl 1 BLU (200 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(1.0 second base cast time)

Increases the potency of the next spell cast by 50%.
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with Harmonized.

Blue Magic

Instinctive to beastkin, Bristle channels sheer animalistic rage into heightened spiritual and physical power. The blue mage will find that she can adapt this technique to increase her spells' potency.

Additional Effect: Unaspected damage over time
Potency: 50
Duration: 30s

Blue Magic

Favored by sirens, the Song of Torment carries in its melody a malicious enchantment. It ensnares the listener's spirit, inducing phantom pain that soon becomes physical as the body struggles to process the mind's trauma.

Which materia for lvl 80 botanist? Perception, gathering or GP?

wintry chasm

yes

glossy flare

Also just for the record, the damage buff only needs to be active when the dot is applied and it will receive the full strength for its whole duration

Which is pretty sweet

Does that apply to dots applied during TA too? If the dots are from non-NIN?

glossy flare

Yes

all of them pretty much. Might want to check Balance for a really specific melding guide

but that's dummy optimisation

open coral

Doesn't matter

#

Pick one

agile laurel
#

it's so small/short it doesn't make much difference

unless you can eye some kind of personal burst

glossy flare
#

If you know the players you would want to pick the better player, but with random people there is no way to tell what would benefit the dps more

agile laurel
#

and even if you can youve probably lost the timeframe you needed to throw it out

#

esp in opener

crimson wind
#

So...card the ninja

#

Every 60s

open coral
#

I mean, you could nominally use the DNC partner priority ranking and card the NIN (at the beginning of the fight, for their burst), or the MNK if they're up for their burst window.

crimson wind
#

Monk burst is just BH?

open coral
#

Uhh, maybe? I don't know MNK that well off the top of my head.

I think monk just has high sustained dps

glossy flare
#

no way to improve that I'm afraid

#

Both Castrum and Praetorium (which is the instance you will have to do next) are not very well liked so even if MSQ roulette has huge rewards, a lot of people just skip them in their daily routines

honest anvil

queue for castrum might take ~1 hour for DPS fwiw

junior cloud
#

I'm a heaaaaaaaaaal

open coral
#

25 minutes until daily reset, so you'll at least get people doing roulettes in a little bit.

junior cloud
#

xD

fast hull
#

? it should only take 20-30 minutes not an hour

glossy flare
#

Yeah your chances might improve in about half an hour

junior cloud
#

okaaay thanks

crimson wind
#

Do you have all the languages on so you can q with people of any language?

#

Party in progress?

junior cloud
#

languages ? what

crisp ether
#

ive never seen MSQ roulette take longer than 25 mins but maybe i'm lucky i guess

open coral
#

You can select the languages of other players you are willing to queue with in your Duty Finder settings.

#

Select at least E and D for EU servers (you can pick F as well, but there's uh... a bias against French players in general)

fast hull
#

when you open your duty finder (on the yellow bar at the top right corner) have you set in on E for English?

open coral
#

For EU and JP it's highly recommended that, if your game setting default language is English, that you also select for the other language(s) native to that region.

crimson wind
#

What's with French players

open coral
#

Typically? They're bad, and rude.

glossy flare
#

They have a reputation to be bad players and to be immune to advice

crimson wind
#

Oh, so like British people

glossy flare
#

Though take that with a grain of salt, I have met many who do not fall into that category

crimson wind
#

Except they aren't British

glossy flare
#

It's largely a meme tbh

open coral
#

It's largely a meme, but I have personally had some experiences that justify it on EU servers.

glossy flare
#

Well yes, it is also rooted in truth to a degree

#

But I don't want to just point at a group of people and say they are bad people in general

whole wasp
#

the few i played with are mostly adequate but they refuse to speak english

open coral
#

But anyways, yes, @junior cloud , you'll want to set your Duty Finder languages to include more than just English. It will immensely speed up your queue times.

whole wasp
#

and that can be aggravating

crisp ether
#

JW does that help on US servers too?

#

or not as much?

open coral
#

Not as much, but it can.

strange coral
#

No so much in my experience

open coral
#

NA servers, the predominant language is going to be English-default anyways (except for maybe some Quebeqois who have French as their default).

crimson wind
#

I've played with a Latin player...once

#

Ofc, you can only tell when they speak.

open coral
#

Yeah, but Spanish isn't (yet) a supported default language for the game.

crimson wind
#

It isn't?

open coral
#

English, French, German, Japanese.

crimson wind
#

Also Quebecois

#

Weird

glossy flare
#

The game is just very popular in Germany and France for some reason

open coral
#

I've always rather wondered what made them choose those four language in particular. English and Japanese make sense, but why German and French, but not Spanish?

glossy flare
#

see what I said

whole wasp
#

might be EU standard

glossy flare
#

when it comes to Germany a few genre of games are really ahead in popularity compared to other countries

#

RPGs and strategy games mostly

#

If you ever make a strategy game you better include German localization because it's a huge market share

#

But this is going off topic now 🤷

Are all beast tribe quests FATES?

little swift
#

Nope

#

Arr beast tribes do have fate specific quests

#

But that's about it

buoyant sorrel
#

So just ARR beast tribes have them?

whole wasp
#

yup

wintry chasm
#

Even then it's just some

buoyant sorrel
#

Okay I haven't really been doing a lot of FATES but I want to increase beast tribe and didn't know what to do because the FATE I needed to do wasn't there

wintry chasm
#

If it isn't there just do some other fates to try to make the area cycle fates faster

#

so it shows

crimson wind
#

Multitask and do yokai at the same time

buoyant sorrel
#

Ohhh thank you for the advice! 😁 I just finished ARR and I'm doing post stuff

open coral
#

Keep in mind that beast tribes are really side side content.

#

They're not required for MSQ purposes, but they're a great source of some additional xp for leveling alt jobs.

buoyant sorrel
#

Totally, I did all the side quests in ARR 🙂

open coral
#

And you can get some cool cosmetic stuff from them like mounts and minions.

crimson wind
#

ARR beast tribe mounts aren't really that special anymore

wintry chasm
#

No they are

open coral
#

They still are, yeah

wintry chasm
#

No ARR beast tribe mount from memory as any sort of other version

buoyant sorrel
#

I really wanna do beast tribe stuff for lore 😁

open coral
#

Just because a lot of people have them, doesn't make them less special.

buoyant sorrel
#

I know I can wiki it

crimson wind
#

Well. What I'm saying is, you might get a chance to get it in a tome event

wintry chasm
#

I really wanna do beast tribe stuff for lore 😁
bit off topic but Sahagin is great for this

open coral
#

The HW and later beast tribes have better lore than the ARR ones, imo

#

Except the Ixali

Question: Hey folks I got a question that been hard for me to find a general answer on Google and etc , can someone give me a brief summary of what are job stones are ? Cuz im finishing mine job quest and wondering if its through job quest that you obtain that item ? (Sorry if I sound stupid asking this😔)

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

#

do the job unlock quest

#

and you get a crystal

#

and you put that crystal on and then you become that job

open coral
#

Job stones are an equipment item that allows you to upgrade your base class to a "job" and gain more abilities.

wintry chasm
#

You equip it in the bottom right equipment slot

buoyant sorrel
#

bit off topic but Sahagin is great for this
@wintry chasm it is! I did their unlock quest and was just uwu

open coral
#

Once you've obtained a job stone, you never want to unequip it.

crimson wind
#

Can't imagine having to spam fire 2 as black mage.

elfin jolt
#

Thank you all sooo much !!! (:

crimson wind
#

Does Miner make a good amount of Sky Scrips at 80?

wispy parcel
#

They get a low amount by themselves. to maximise your sky scrip gain you have to both gather and craft

fringe whale
#

I've been getting most of my gear from Uldar NPC shops from 1-40, I've noticed that gear variety is lacking after 40, should I be crafting my own gear at that point or something?

crisp ether
#

once you get to the next major town you'll be able to buy 50-60 gear

#

in Heavensward

glossy flare
#

After finishing the last 2.0 quest "The Ultimate Weapon" you can spend poetics for ilvl 130 gear

#

Up to that point just following the MSQ should keep you geared

#

In fact the MSQ keeps you geared for the entire game really

fringe whale
#

Is there any point in me working on my professions at this point? Or should I leave them be for longer and catch up later

glossy flare
#

You will unlock something that is great for levelling crafters and gatherers over the course of the post Heavensward questline

#

I don't wanna name it because the name is a bit spoilery

#

That being said, it's fine to focus on all those jobs now too

#

No real downside to it

fringe whale
#

Am I able to craft the gears that the NPCs sell?

glossy flare
#

not the exact gear afaik but definitely something that's comparable in terms of stats

fringe whale
#

Is HQ amour a thing and how much stronger are they?

glossy flare
#

HQ means they have better stats so yes, it's always worth it

faint flare
#

HQ gear is better than vendor gear and makes it equal to on level dungeon gear

#

NQ gear is trash and essentially -30 ilvls

#

In terms of stats

fringe whale
#

Aside from being able to play as another race, why do people make alts when all jobs can be unlocked on a single character?

glossy flare
#

roleplaying

faint flare
#

rp, playing on other servers

#

Raiding with others without screwing loot locks

fringe whale
#

For raiding, isn’t leveling up a chore? (I started as conjured and got to white mage 35 before switching to gladiator and grinding to 40 paladin)

#

Or is there a shortcut/bonus?

faint flare
#

Skips

glossy flare
#

Leveling alt jobs on the same character benefits from the armoury bonus, but yes, different character takes some time

wintry chasm
#

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

glossy flare
#

unless you spend money ^

wintry chasm
#

Also generally there are some xp boosting consumables

#

and items

#

and whatnot

#

also generally leveling up alts is just much faster since you don't need to do MSQ too

#

and you generally just have more options

#

Like you don't need to run around unlocking stuff since you already unlocked it

#

Also some jobs just start higher level, also not like you need every job in the universe to raid

wispy parcel
#

Id get at least one of each role

fringe whale
#

Is there an extended action bar like some mmos so I can have more space without using bar 3?

wintry chasm
#

For PC controls?

faint flare
#

No, the hotbars are as big as you see them

fringe whale
#

Yes PC

wintry chasm
#

No, the hotbars are as big as you see them
^

fringe whale
#

I have a small screen atm so I’m very averse to having more bars

faint flare
#

You need 3 hotbars for each job

glossy flare
#

you can reduce the size of hud elements if that helps

faint flare
#

You can shrink stuff in the hud editor

fringe whale
glossy flare
#

But bottom line is that there is no job that will do with less than 3 hotbars eventually

fringe whale
#

Rip I guess I’ll figure something out

crimson wind
#

You could just make your hotbars smaller

fringe whale
#

I could but being on a small screen already, I worry that I might have trouble keeping track of CDs

fast hull
#

I made mine 60%

fringe whale
#

I’ll try it later tho

glossy flare
#

Yeah I'd recommend experimenting a bit

#

I'm fairly certain you can find a way to make it work

What are some good ways to get GC seals?

I tried fulfilling provisioning but the reward is virtually nonexistent compared to the effort I put in, dungeon gives like 2000 when my role is needed but that is slow

do atherials drop after ARR ?

wintry chasm

No

lol dang

What’s the point of atherials?

wintry chasm

Aetherials were kinda dumb

faint flare
#

Completely random stats

#

Its stupif

#

And hated

leaden ginkgo
#

they are really good early on; super good desynth

faint flare
#

They were all basically removed outside of accessories

#

Just desynth normal dungeon gear

#

Same thing

fringe whale
#

I think the glamour wardrobe is interesting since I can store all my looks, but I’ve got like 15 different chest piece and sometimes it gets hard/annoying telling them apart

#

I was going to put aetherials in but I had a warning that the stats will be deleted if I do that

stiff vapor
#

hey guys where can I get gerolt weathered gear stuff?

fringe whale
#

Is there a website/tool that I can use to plan/preview/compare gear?

wispy parcel
#

Weathered gear is from a merchant in the tempest

#

If you check the map you'll see a merchant in the far off corner of the map

stiff vapor
#

ohhh alright

#

thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there any point to exp boosts after 80, like survival manuals? maybe faster soulbond or should I scrap them?

strange coral
#

Nope

#

Can keep them for next expansion maybe, but will likely be not as effective

open ember
#

Nah save them for the next expansion

#

A boost is a boost

#

I still have all my survival/engineering manuals even tho all my crafters are 80

#

Same for gatherers

#

Because its likely 80-90 will kinda suck. And be long. Stash them in your retainer or something for later

leaden ginkgo

Gotcha

#

Do raid fcs exist anymore?

little swift
#

Most people that raid do so through a static rather than an fc

timber condor
#

I'm on leviathan and I'm trying to connect with raiders but the scene seems scattered and like no one I know is online anymore

twilit arch
#

they exist yeah but they're not exactly the norm really since raiding can be done cross server

timber condor
#

Oh

little swift
#

Its not the norm for this game because raids aren't large scale 638573 people ordeals

timber condor
#

Is there a point to being in a fc? I'm trying to raid and be part of a team but idk where to look

faint flare
#

Social

#

Buffs

twilit arch
#

socializing, buffs

little swift
#

Fcs might have their own small statics but not always the case

faint flare
#

Use recruitment discords and stuff for statics

twilit arch
#

if you're looking for a static though, can check PF or #603040697884475393 or r/ffxivrecruitment

I have some lag problems whenever I have a browser while playing ffxiv. Should I use exitlag or any other software?

agile laurel

exitlag slashed my ping by 2/3rds for xiv but my problem was due to being in the UK

so while it does various miracles I can't say it'd be your solution

spare plinth

I have GeForce and razor cortex so maybe it’ll work for a bit

outer plank
#

i think i got rid of my anemos relic? how do i get it back?

tame plinth
#

do multiple regen abilities from the same ast work together? or do regens in general not stack?

twilit arch
#

yes, you can put aspect benefic, aspect helios, celestial opposition, collective unconcious up on the same target

#

only time it won't stack is if its two ASTs in diurnal sect

#

then they will overwrite

tame plinth
#

ah okay

#

then instead of adding the regens on top of each other they just reset the timers

#

like almost all aoe buffs

faint flare
#

Regens typically stack with each other

open coral
#

^ this is why we typically recommend that in a two AST situation, one goes Noct and the other Diurnal, and in all other situations simply pick the spec opposite of the other healer's core concept.

twilit arch
#

though you can go diurnal with a white mage

little swift

Diurnal for all intents and purposes is fine in most scenarios

Hello! sorry if this is the wrong spot but was wondering what channel I can use to find a group? Was looking for a lfg channel but either I'm missing it or something D:

faint flare
#

Recruitment channels

long shard
#

okay thank you!

open coral
#

You can post in the recruitment channels if you're looking for a static group

#

But if you're just looking to do an instance, the in game Duty Finder and Party Finder are probably a better bet.

#

Since we draw from every server and datacenter here.

long shard
#

Understood. I have been in queue for The Dancing Plague and it seems to be difficult for Duty Finder to find a group for that, so was looking for alternatives

open coral
#

Dancing Plague normal is a story instance, so you should be able to get a group eventually. Extreme you'll have to use Party Finder for though.

#

You can also make a group for the normal version in Party Finder and see if people will come for the new player bonus.

long shard
#

Okay awesome I will check that out and continue to try Duty Finder. Appreciate the help Aura Astra, and thank you for your answer Vinyl Tails

open coral
#

I'll also point out that it's currently the middle of the work/school day in NA, so fewer people may be around. You may have better luck trying in a few hours when primetime hits.

placid ridge

So I'm trying to rank my GC level up but I have to complete the first challenge log which is 10 supply/prov missions and 5 HQ items submitted, does that have to be done within a 24 hour period?

If so, they are really vague about that

open coral

The first challenge log? That's a combat thing, not a craft/gather thing.
