Ah sorry, Downburst is egi assault

strange coral
Those are used via Egi Assault and only take the place of the assault actions when the egi is summoned
fast hull
yes drag egi assault
oblique trellis
Ohhhhh there it is, tysm
glossy flare
It will change to different skills depending on what you have summoned
But you don't have that choice just yet
oblique trellis
nah that's exactly what I was looking for ty
glossy flare
I'm just saying, Egi assault will not always be downburst ๐
oblique trellis
not sure why it popped off there
I getcha, I only know it as Downburst rn, only level 26 on Arc ๐

Yeah, you'll get there o/

We allowed to post a pic in here relating to a question?
twilit arch
yes
oblique trellis
Ok, is there a reason recommended gear is recommending this body piece when it seems inferior?
twilit arch
what are you currently wearing
oblique trellis
twilit arch
is it also recommending a head piece?
oblique trellis
yes
twilit arch
what's the head piece
oblique trellis
This, but I'm assuming you just answered the question ๐
Cause I can't use headpiece with the robe
glossy flare
those are gloves ๐
oblique trellis
oh right
glossy flare
but yeah, what you said
oblique trellis
Moved mouse before screen cap grabbed wrong pic ๐
glossy flare
those chestpieces that don't let you equip a head are usually a bit stronger but that will eventuall fizzle out
twilit arch
recommended is usually smart enough that its ok to follow whatever its recommending
timber condor
which NA server do you think is the most fun? ๐ i wanna start fresh somewhere where i wont feel stagnate in game
slate arrow
For the most part, auto-equip goes for the highest main stats
twilit arch
sometimes it can be a bit wonky, but in this case its correct
cavalier's hat+ that chest is gonna be a bit better than the cowl since it has more secondaries

Do I ever use B4 b4 level 60
twilit arch
hmm it worked just fine for me
slate arrow
@crimson wind B4?
crimson wind

@twilit arch did you make a macro just for that or did you incorporate it into another one?

Can we see a screenshot of what you have

Do you just B3 > T3 > B4 > F3?
@crimson wind refer to the leveling rotation image above

ripe hound
Synastry works even if you are healing the same target right?
slate arrow
Yes
stable hinge
I see some people on the pf asking for crafted gear for 5.4 day 1 so I assumed it was soon
ripe hound
kk It's a weird skill but it's still an oGCD...
I still have no idea how to use this skill
twilit arch
all we know is 5.4 is slated for sometime dec
stable hinge
we getting any new story in 5.35 or 5.4?
slate arrow
5.4
twilit arch
5.4
stable hinge
Thanks
slate arrow
5.35 is skysteel relic + bajoza citadael
twilit arch
@ripe hound basically if you need to burst heal or you have two targets to worry about
slate arrow
yep
twilit arch
ya
slate arrow
as AST your game plan is Essential into Synastry Benefic 2 spam
ripe hound
kk
slate arrow
if none of those are up, well, tank is basically screwed
ripe hound
But for current content other than LD there are rarely situations I need it right?
slate arrow
nah it's still useful for big ass mob pulls
twilit arch
unless you absolutely need the shields, diurnal is fine
or if you feel more comfortable using noct
ripe hound
Yeah I just kind of realized I rarely use the shields
I apply the shields after damage most of the time anyway... because people are at max health and can definitely take the raid wide
twilit arch
double regen is perfectly fine in most content
ripe hound
Yeah, like for e5s I think there just isn't that much things that need shields?
slate arrow
Only time shields are needed are for when there's a shit ton of damage and regen won't be able to cover the last tick of damage
ripe hound
Yeah
But for the part before Enrage where e5s you take raid wide after raid wide, Regen is actually better right?
Since it's like a lot of healing
light wagon
just need pre-pull setup for first aoe, rest of it is done with ogcd like co, cu, and ed
ripe hound
Yeah, I just notice even for stuff like CO CI I like to use them after damage
Since half the healing is heal, not shields
slate arrow
I'd say regen is still better since you can just use helios or horoscope
little swift
Yeah, like for e5s I think there just isn't that much things that need shields?
@ripe hound ast prepull uses both sects with neutral sect active and that can be fine to dump shields into
light wagon
ya, in dir, cu becomes good for hots
light wagon
you should
there's no instance in anything but tea that requires galvanize
dir ast stronk
ripe hound
But yeah, to be honest I do prefer playing with SCH
I mean I think SCH have a lot more Regen than Noct AST
light wagon
yep
ripe hound
So when playing with SCH it's just Diur AST no question asked
How many Regen does SCH have again?
light wagon
just 1
ripe hound
A farie AOE and a tether?
slate arrow
three
ripe hound
Oh and the faerie it self

Oh fuck that's a lot

Whispering dawn

64% effectiveness
little swift
Isn't 64% weaker
slate arrow
Pet potency is not the same as scholar potency
ripe hound
Wait wut?
light wagon
it's like 77
ripe hound
That's weird
light wagon
yea, doesn't show anywhere
little swift
Its like 23% weaker
faint flare
All pets have their own pet potency
stark sleet
Is it the same % with summoner pets?
ripe hound
Including DRK and MCH?
vivid bobcat
have u experienced constant 90001 and 90002 errors as well? how do i fix it?! I was fine for 1 month and since yesterday im getting dc'ed every 2 minutes...

Do believe so yes
little swift
Those are less so pets and more like dots but I think its the same

This is so weird... why don't they just lower the potency numbers instead of making it 64%?

Yes

You dont get your job skills specifically if you're still a class however

exotic pumice
Im a new ps4 player and I'm struggling to find the fastest and most efficient way of de-selecting the enemy, selecting the party member i want to cast on, then re-selecting the enemy.
im a new paladin is that helps
exotic pumice
even if the enemy is selected?
faint flare
Left/right targets enemies
exotic pumice
AH
faint flare
Doesn't matter
crimson wind
You won't really need to swap targets much as a Paladin
little swift
Intervention and cover
exotic pumice
but i still want to be able to use my helpful abilities to their fullest
crimson wind
Try your hardest not to use clemency.
little swift
Shirk macro is fine
crimson wind
Ofc you may need to
crimson wind
Yea you can basically just macro intervention and shirk so they automatically hit the co tank
stark sleet
light wagon
you'll probably just have to single-weave or clip some if you macro then
little swift
Yup
exotic pumice
i do also need to learn how to macro too
i was actually just looking at it yesterday
little swift
Macrod in general are not ok for gcds
exotic pumice
this is honestly the first mmo i have even gotten this much into
little swift
And have some minor minor benefits when used for ogcds
tacit atlas
Macros not good for rotation
little swift
Manual selection is better once well practiced
ripe hound
Macros do work for Crafting Rotations right?
tacit atlas
I think that we had this exact same conversation with somebody else yesterday lol
Yes
ripe hound
Yeah we did lol
crimson wind
Good Macros are very very few and far between, and most of the time, they're just for comfort
little swift
The reason its fine for crafting is because you don't have gcd timings to worry about
ripe hound
Also there are extremely few things you use macros.
For like Ninja Unhide, or placing ground stuff on targets
jagged jungle
tacit atlas
Glam
twilit arch
it means its glamoured
crimson wind
Glam
little swift
Means you have a glamour on it
twilit arch
Specifically its an undyeable glamour
ripe hound
Also Macros usually looks like this:
/micon "Earthly Star"
/merror off
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
Because this can hack the system and make it semi-queued
It still works much more clunky than no macro, but somewhat works
tacit atlas
Also because sometimes one line of that just doesn't work for some reason
little swift
Micon at the bottom
ripe hound
It's because it got ate
little swift
Its a dead line that still needs to be read
tacit atlas
It's the same thing
ripe hound
Yeah without Micon at top I think it goes out faster?
tacit atlas
Yes because of that
little swift
Macros read top to bottom 1 line per frame
tacit atlas
Like actual programming kindof
little swift
So you'd rather it reads the useless stuff last
tacit atlas
Ye
ripe hound
Yeah, so basically with 15 lines you get about 1/4 of a second of queue time
Wait... I'm playing at 144 fps...
Am I at a disadvantage?
tacit atlas
Not really
ripe hound
lol
tacit atlas
If anything it's quicker
ripe hound
Yeah
tacit atlas
Since it checks quicker
Or I mean
The same amount of times but in less time
If that makes any sense lol

No

The only"free" fantasia that you get is that one

@cedar compass if you're looking for bait, go to the main limsa market - it should be around there under 'items'

It's from the one that sells you gathering gear I think

Usually Junkmonger or "Merchant & Mender" and a few named npcs in city markets

my friend and i are both new to the game, do we both have to pick the same like starting zone area?
strange coral
Starting class determines which area you start in
tacit atlas
Nope
leaden ginkgo
If you wish to start in the same location you'll need to pick a class which starts there.
After you unlock travel at level 15 you will be able to meet up regardless.
strange coral
But it eventually all meets up at around level 15 in the story
tacit atlas
You can meet up at level 15 if you don't start together also
We really said the same thing 3 times huh

i also have another question, which i believe i've answered for myself but i just want to make 100% sure:
If i apply a glamour, and then place the 'appearance' item on my retainer, does my glamoured item still appear that way?

Yes

i'm not even entirely sure how the glamour dresser works

Basically you make "plates" where you place items in slots thats in YOUR glamour dresser

does that mean that it basically costs less glamour prisms to reapply to new equipment?
sweet leaf
ok ty

Yes, you only spend a prism to store an item in the dresser. It doesn't cost a prism to apply from a plate

MSQ sets you to specific level if your over it anyway
oblique trellis
True but then rewards don't scale
granite swan
well u dont need lv 50 gear doin lv 30 story ;p

Why would they have something like that anyways? The MSQ already gave more than enough EXP to max out for every expansion in the first place
hot eagle
don't need better gear anyway if your msq is low
scenic moat
It's to lure more players into that world
granite swan
Cause leveling alts is so much nicer with double xp :p

because the msq didn't always keep you on par

could buy 480 from mb or start your shb relic which is 485

Get the relic weapon
Which requires the lv70 24mans done
Then you get it free after a quest line

Good idea to get started on the relic weapon anyway since you can most likely start upgrading it next week

Wonder why devs chose 12 cap on certain things instead of 14 :p woulda made more sense heh

Is it easy to level your first account from 60 - 80?
cyan fable
I just hit level 60 on my starters account, and im in a dilemma of buying the expansions so i dont have wasted exp
because im still in ARR
obsidian patio
First job gets tons of experience from the story
The ARR patch quests (all the quests at level 50) donโt give much experience, so you donโt have to worry too much right now
granite swan
Ya they are only like 5-10k a pop between ARR and HW
cyan fable
Oh okay, that's not a lot then
I'm on 2.4, I'm close to HW?
And I know it's subjective, but I'm really enjoying the ARR story a lot. Are the expansions just as good as ARR?
obsidian patio
Patch-wise, yes. Quest-wise you got about 20-30 ish quests depending on how far into 2.4
glossy flare
If anything most people are more in the "Heavensward is when the game gets good" camp
So if you like ARR you're most likely in for a treat
leaden ginkgo
Have fun unlocking flight.
It's tedious, but unties your hands once you get it, feels very rewarding.
The flight mechanic begins in ARR.
obsidian patio
Oh, if you havenโt already, unlock and complete the Crystal tower 24-man series
exotic pumice
A friend said I should start a new class like samurai or Gunbreaker while doing 2.1->Heavensward
glossy flare
Compared to other MMOs xiv is incredibly casual in how you unlock flight tbh
obsidian patio
Youโll need that questline done to start heavensward
leaden ginkgo
The crystal tower arc begins with the quest Legacy of Allag in Mor Dhona.
cyan fable
That's exciting to hear then, can't wait for HW.
leaden ginkgo
ye atom cause they start at 50, the level at which 2.1 quests start
cyan fable
Also is Crystal Tower about of the MSQ?
glossy flare
I also slacked a bit un unlocking flight in HW back when I levelled because I thought "eh, who cares about old zones?" (I started with Stormblood) and recently unlocked flight in all the zones in not even a day
cyan fable
Or are they the blue quest symbols
leaden ginkgo
It is vital to the Shadowbringers story.
glossy flare
It takes like no effort at all
obsidian patio
Theyโre blue quests
glossy flare
yup
exotic pumice
as a new player should I get a class like that or just play as my first class all the way through?
leaden ginkgo
well depends which do you like more
glossy flare
Doesn't hurt to try out new things
can always switch back if you don't like it after all
exotic pumice
damn you freedom of choice!
glossy flare
ikr?
placid hollow
how do you get to middle la noscea from lamia
leaden ginkgo
everything is viable in endgame so choose what suits you the best
glossy flare
But for the record if you do wanna try dps, Samurai may even be a good choice to get your feet wet
exotic pumice
is Samurai a difficult class to play? Like for someone like me who has ONLY played Tank
glossy flare
It's pretty easy to start with but has a higher ceiling than some other jobs
exotic pumice
hmm
obsidian patio
@placid hollow lamia the server? Same way as any other server
Unless you mean Limsa Lominsa
glossy flare
Samurai is all about flowing through different combos
leaden ginkgo
samurai is one of the easier DPS jobs to pick up iirc
glossy flare
Yeah, definitely
obsidian patio
X12, y11 in Limsa lower decks
exotic pumice
ok then ill pick up Samurai wil i do all my post 2.0 quests
and yeah, if i dont like it I can try Gunbreaker too

Do note, a lot of people seem to agree on tanks being the easiest jobs in this game
exotic pumice
its why i picked it lol
leaden ginkgo
red mage and dancer are also options
glossy flare
Personally I also agree in the sense that tanks tend to have the simplest rotations
But they do have to worry about some other things, which is not that hard either but it's something ๐
exotic pumice
i have literally never been this deep into an mmo and was afraid i would suck as anything other but a dude who just rushes in
glossy flare
nah don't worry, xiv is pretty welcoming to newcomers
little swift
Its ok to be bad, as long as you ask and want to improve
Admitting you don't know something is a good thing
exotic pumice
yeah i have a buddy who has been helping me a TON with what to do and even just reading this thread im learning a lot
although i need to find a list of definitions for some of these acronyms
agile laurel
could just ask
wouldn't be any less welcome than anything else
and wouldn't be the stupidest questions to be asked in the history of this channel however you go
obsidian patio
Might be a bit dated but this has a lot of the common ones.
manic flare
do u need to pay extra money to undergo the bond of eternal matrimony
glossy flare
do u need to pain extra money to undergo the bond of eternal matrimony
@manic flare Base ceremony is free
leaden ginkgo
there's a free version of it
glossy flare
But higher tiers cost actual money, yes
obsidian patio
besides the cost of wanting to do a gold or platinum marriage, no.
leaden ginkgo
if you want dyable clothes or mount you need to pay extra
glossy flare
no
manic flare
damn
is there a place where people tlka about just getting married for the benefits
then breakup soon after
obsidian patio
This lists all the items based on what tier you marry
To clarify the difference between the gold and platinum outfits, the platinum dyes a bit different and dyes more of the set
lavish vortex
If you had to put in terms of difficulty, Baldesion Arsenal is harder or easier than current savage tier?
obsidian patio
Honestly with a good raid leader calling out stuff then BA is super easy for the most part
sharp meteor
where does ilvl 500 gear come from?
obsidian patio
Upgrading allegory gear and Eden verse savage
lavish vortex
@obsidian patio nice, thanks
sharp meteor
is eden savage weekly limited?
glossy flare
yes
glossy flare
wait, I thought verse is still limited?
cedar compass
Is it still possible t get the ishgardian restoration mount?
faint flare
No
little swift
It was removed in 5.31
obsidian patio
@cedar compass yes
little swift
5.4 will hace lockout again
glossy flare
I should farm more...
faint flare
New tier
leaden ginkgo
wait, I thought verse is still limited?
All savage raiding limits were removed. You can now form farm parties and grind to get BiS in one day if you have the necessary combat knowledge.
ionic hazel
Makes sense, id love to see people do shiva again thinking itll be easier with the new gear
little swift
I mean you aren't so overgeared that it'll trivialize
faint flare
Mechanics will still kill you
little swift
Even in 6.0 lr and wl will need to be respected
faint flare
You'll just kill it earlier, probably during/before Wl2
little swift
Especially since so many things punish with damage down
ionic hazel
and damage down is exactly 50%
slate arrow
heck, even the 4.4 raids will kill you at level 80 i500
little swift
2 maybe 3 people?
manic flare
oh really?
manic flare
so when i clear a dungeon or trial unsync'ed i sometimes get a time message at the bottom
is that recorded somewhere
for later
little swift
Nope
ripe hound
The !market command uses universalis right?
little swift
Yes
manic flare
what's universalis?
placid hollow
at what level can you do dungeons?
faint flare
Lv16 story
little swift
first dungeon at lv15 msq
placid hollow
oh alright
little swift
quest is ||It's Probably Pirates||
universalis is a webapi that pulls from user input to form a market database outside of the game
kupobot has a command that lets you search that market board information
sharp meteor
does eden savage have the same mechanics as normal eden?

faint flare
Savage takes normal mode mechanics and removes telegraphs and occasionally adds something
little swift
to prevent usage of it on this channel
becasue you should really use that in #kupo-bot-spam and this is just an example
leaden ginkgo
Understood. Fair point.
manic flare
!market uraeus
zinc orbitBOT
sharp meteor
are the 485 relic weapons bis right now?
faint flare
No
Far from it
The savage weapons are BiS...with very occasional use of augmented crystarium as BiS
halcyon glen
Relic tends to be roughly equivalent, after melding, to a 490 weapon - either Crystarium or Augmented Neo-Ishgardian
granite swan
What Item Level will it get boosted to after Bozjan?
faint flare
Highly likely 495
halcyon glen
We can only speculate. Speculation is 495.
At which point it potentially and dependent on class becomes comparable to an augmented crystarium
Savage weapons at 505 will remain BiS for almost every class until 5.4's launch, at which point it will become for most classes the likely 535 drop from E12S
lavish vortex
Is there any way to enter gpose in PS4 other than typing it in the chat?
faint flare
The button is under actions and traits

Is there a minion for the disciple of magic/war retainer venture at 80? I've been doing it for months and never got it

In extras

Awesome! Thanks

@ivory iris Wind-up Hobgoblin Mystic Weapon is the most current one, from XXV Field ventures

does my Retainer's Ilvl affect the drop
like I said ive been doing it for months and have never seen it
it's always money and morbol vines and the usual

!market durium sand

proven sparrow
so just completed 5.3 after several months of binge. Gear I want is the allegory crystarium gear right?
little swift
@ripe hound use the command in kupo bot spam. you also need to include a datacenter or server name
little swift
example: !market aether durium sand
leaden ginkgo
The ilvl affects the chances of getting rarer items, yes.
obsidian patio
@proven sparrow thatโs the current high-end stuff, yeah
proven sparrow
perfect thanks
obsidian patio
Youโll also want the type-53 gear from puppets bunker which is i490 to help gear up faster
proven sparrow
isn't crystarium also 490?
little swift
it gets augmented to 500
leaden ginkgo
BiS (best in slot) is a combination of augmented Crystarium (500) and eden verse (Edenchoir, 500-505) gear.
proven sparrow
oooh
little swift
using nuts or copied factory/puppet bunker tokens
leaden ginkgo
You may consult The Balance Discord for your specific job to see what's BiS for you.
little swift
or completing e6s and e7s
manic flare
what is BiS
little swift
for the augmented items
proven sparrow
best in slot
little swift
best in slot is the best items that work best with a given class or job
in ffxiv's case, this gives you the best possible stat layout
manic flare
so it's not just about getting highest item level?
little swift
no
faint flare
Highest ilvl usually is BiS
little swift
some high item level things give you some poopy substats
proven sparrow
BiS is often tied to ilevel but it's not a hard rule in mmos
manic flare
what's the best dungeon to get gear if the most recent area you've unlocked is ruby sea?
faint flare
Shire is.still fine
little swift
don't worry too much about bis until endgame
and even then it doesn't matter too much
leaden ginkgo
highest level should be uh, Shiusi?
obsidian patio
Shire and shisui gear have the same item level, so either is fine
manic flare
@leaden ginkgo ok good i just unlocked that
crimson wind
How do i get blue tokens? I have access to collectables now. Gatherer
little swift
submit collectables for yellow scrips
and trade yellow scrips for blue gatherer's tokens
obsidian patio
Buy them with yellow scrips in the level 50 store option
placid hollow
what is enimity?
little swift
any of the scrip exchanges will have it
obsidian patio
Collectable appraisers in the main city-states and endgame hubs
crimson wind
Kk
little swift
enmity is what this game calls aggro
basically a gauge for how angry an enemy is at you
placid hollow
got it
little swift
the angriest ones target you
faint flare
Tanks want it, other jobs dont
leaden ginkgo
what's the best dungeon to get gear if the most recent area you've unlocked is ruby sea?
You may consult Garland Tools' leveling equipment tool for your job to see what options you have for your level range: https://garlandtools.org/db/#equip/leveling
Augmented Shire will start weakening at Doma Castle.
You can consider getting better parts there.
obsidian patio
Bardaamโs mettle, actually
crimson wind
Bardam's is where you start getting better gear
crimson wind
So I just collected some dragon obsidian, but I can't trade it in
little swift
is the collectable good enuff?
crimson wind
Idk
twilit arch
all collectables have a min collectability requirement
faint flare
You ned to hir the minimum collectiblity
leaden ginkgo
I see, my mistake, I forgot about that dungeon. Thank you for your insight.
little swift
you need to have collector's glove skill active
ashen pendant
Any good glamours that I should farm in ARR or Heavensward content?
faint flare
Appraisal skills
little swift
and then use appraisal skills
thats a subjective question, but some of the crystal raids have some nice stuff
crimson wind
Where can I find Pyrite?
obsidian patio
The Sohm Al stuff is nice if you like tribal/primitive looking gear
little swift
@crimson wind
crimson wind
Ty
little swift
its eorzean time
ashen pendant
I'm scrambling with my inventory constantly
Always debating if something is good for glamour or an alt job lol
crimson wind
Oh so I can't get it unless it's an unspoiled node?
faint flare
Collectibles are usually always in unspoiled
placid hollow
since me and my friend are both on free trial, if someone invites us into a party and then leaves would that let us queue for the same dungeon etc?
faint flare
Yes
leaden ginkgo
Any good glamours that I should farm in ARR or Heavensward content?
You may consider Odin's set and the Adamantite sets (level 58 and 60).
Note: The level 60 adamantite, green rarity, is a crafted set.
Odin's set is acquired piece by piece via his trial.
Alternatively, you can get a one-piece version of it by doing his FATE and exchanging the tokens in Mor Dhona.
His sword, unique to PLD, can also be purchased there.
crimson wind
I can't activate appraisal
faint flare
Turn on collectors glove
crimson wind
Its ok
faint flare
Then select pyrite
scarlet hinge
Any news on the next expansion?
scarlet hinge
Whats after the 3rd nier raid
crimson wind
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
leaden ginkgo
Unknown.
crimson wind
Not out yet
faint flare
Nothing, the 3rd raid in 5.5 is the last for the expansion
Then its whatever they want to use for the next one
scarlet hinge
how many raids were added in shadowbringer
faint flare
Currently 2 8man and 2 24man
Last 8man is 5.4, last 24man in 5.5
Same as other expansions
Oh and 1 ultimate raid currently
scarlet hinge
so a total of 7 raids?
faint flare
Plus the trials and extremes
open ember
So far
leaden ginkgo
You can also find a list of all raids in the game here: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Raids
scarlet hinge
way more than wow
manic flare
what's the difference between an 8 man raid and a regular trial (with 8 people)?
faint flare
8man raids are part of a tier consisting of 4 different fights in a tier
leaden ginkgo
Raids have more mechanics.
faint flare
Trials are just one and done
manic flare
oh 8 man raids are more like dungeons?
leaden ginkgo
Negative.
faint flare
No
elder meteor
anyone know if a character is deleted, is the name available for a name change immediately?
leaden ginkgo
Yes.
elder meteor
nice. reserved a name so wanted to go ahead and switch to it
leaden ginkgo
Fun fact: If you keep clicking on the "OK" in the window that appears during deletion, you can make the timer go down faster.
With each click it skips a second.
elder meteor
lol
manic flare
wow spoken like a true veteran
elder meteor
I decided to craft some designer armor, so changing my name to Viera Wang
hasty rapids
Hello, pretty new to the game. I reached level 30 and completed the THM Job quests but having a hard time finding out how to advance to a Black Mage.
little swift
how far into the msq are you?
you need to have completed the msq "Sylph Management"
thats like lv20 msq
leaden ginkgo
You need to push a bit more.
hasty rapids
Awesome, Thanks!
leaden ginkgo
Any pro bard performancer here that can help me? lmao
~BMP
You may consult the Bard players in The Balance. There are also thorough guides there for each job.
i dun want a guide to play bard i need help with BMP
I see.
but thanks anyways, i will ask them
leaden ginkgo
Bard Music Player.
Bards can play music in the game.
Unfortunately I am not a Bard player so I cannot tell you more about the job.
sharp meteor
spell speed affects instant-cast ruin2 GCD speed for SMN right?
faint flare
All spells
glossy flare
Yes
little swift
bmp just runs a midi-file that is converted into the keybinds needed to play certain notes
and plays songs that way
sharp meteor
what happens if I put skill speed on with SMN? doesn't work at all?
faint flare
You get HORRIBLY misaligned
little swift
also @leaden ginkgo please try not to always immediately deflect people to the balance, its not like we do not have people capable of answering questions here
glossy flare
Skill speed only works on weapon skills
little swift
we also have a command for the discord link in !faq balance
faint flare
Speed doesn't do anything to help you
manic flare
wait i dont understand, why does SMN need to work as slow as possible?
glossy flare
Skill/spell speed works in tiers so you still align all your goods with certain windows
faint flare
It doesn't help us at all
manic flare
why not
manic flare
isn't it better to cast spells quicker?
glossy flare
If you go too fast it missalignes all your CDs
little swift
not necessarily
faint flare
No
little swift
speed isn't always better
manic flare
what are demis
faint flare
Bahamut and phoenix
little swift
depending on how cooldowns align, you want to cast a certain number of spells in between every burst phase to make sure that you get everything off
crimson wind
Which is better, Instinctual or Methodical appraisal?
faint flare
It doesn't increase their damage and it throws off alignment with other skills
little swift
check #doh-dol-lounge we have gathering rotations in it
instinctual has that rng element to it
until you get impulsive, just keep it consistent
leaden ginkgo
also @leaden ginkgo please try not to always immediately deflect people to the balance, its not like we do not have people capable of answering questions here
@little swift Of course, my apologies, I did not mean any offense. I just wanted to provide people with an additional source of information which they can access at any time. I'll refrain from posting it right away in the future, and thank you for the command, I was not aware of its existence.
little swift
oh not offended at all, they're teh number crunchy big bois anyways
but we do tend to want to try helping people here, given its a questions and help channel
crimson wind
Collectables are better than levequests for leveling now yes?
zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
no, leves are still the best exp its just collectables aren't gated by an allowance limit
ripe hound
!action Collectable Synthesis
zinc orbitBOT
ripe hound
Is this action removed?
leaden ginkgo
Yes, it was removed in 5.3.
ripe hound
Yeah, since crafting collectables are basically exactly the same as crafting normal stuff
For gathering it's a bit more different
The last ability of crafters is basically just an "I win" button right?
faint flare
For lv70 and under stuff
ripe hound
Yeah
If you quick Synth lv70 and below stuff, is it garuntee HQ?
Or is it still possible to NQ or fail?
warped nest
Not guaranteed
sharp meteor
is there any way to turn down the SMN bahamut size? its massive
raven sage
/bahamutsize small should help
wintry chasm
ripe hound
Does this change Phonix size?
ripe hound
WTF?
raven sage
phoenix is already about between medium and small bahamut sizes
ripe hound
yeah
raven sage
Not really a reason to change it
ripe hound
I see
sharp meteor
there isnt a way to make bahamut invisible is there?
leaden ginkgo
Unfortunately, no. Hiding other players' effects also seems to not affect Bahamut's appearance.
is ||crystarium|| gear better than savage ?
BiS (best in slot) gear is a mix of augmented Crystarium and savage verse (Edenchoir).
little swift
depends on the piece and depends on your job tbh
