The 51 range is the sweetspot.
But it doesn't scale very well at higher levels so at level 61 you are advised to switch to HoH.

what would be the fastest way to lvl a class to 50?
knotty lily
More often, 1-60 is POTD. Moreso for DPS classes.
Otherwise, dungeons
(Although I hate the POTD grind and tend to avoid it, even on DPS)
Most people just hate the DPS queues :/

where to pickup the GNB class
leaden ginkgo
Gridania.
Take the 
quest from the archer NPC (Gods' Quiver Bow) in front of the main aetheryte once you reach level 60 with any combat job.
Having Shadowbringers registered to your account is required.

Ifrit at 50 is towards the end of the base game

if you just focus the msq you can get their REALLY fast

Ironworks will carry you thru msq regardless of level
Once you hit HW you can upgrade your gear

You’ll keep getting gear through the story
It only stops giving gear once you hit Shadowbringers patch story

leaden ginkgo
i’m just about capped on poetics. i’m at the start of SB and have shore for both my tanks and dps, what do i spend them on ?
You can buy some Heavensward relic materials if you want.
Like Umbrite.
The upgrade after the hyperconductive step requires a high quantity of poetics.
would it make sense to buy shire gear for a class i haven’t leveled yet ?
bc i wanna level blm in the background as i go through SB and when i get to 60 i wanna be geared up even though i plan on doing POTD and HOH
Yes.
halcyon glen
Once i unlock ricochete for MCH, why would I ever press gauss round?
@silent zodiac Ricochet does not replace gauss round, nor do they share a cooldown, so you use both because you can
leaden ginkgo
You can get the tome gear ready for your next job if you wish.
swag
And when you no longer need it, as long as it's for the same job, you can equip it on your retainers.
They can also use the tome gear.
A higher ilvl on your retainers will increase the chances of getting rarer items.
holy shit i never thought of that

leaden ginkgo
It depends on your ISP.

You can check via cmd without launching the game or creation another account.
Wynne's post elaborates.
Unless you don't have access to a computer.
plain python
hm is there a way to generate 100,000 gil/day without marketboard? I notice I can buy gear from Ishgard and turn them for daily GC delivery for some nice exp boost for my crafters, but the gear is kinda expensive. And I don't want to touch gathering until I can fly in HW areas.
spring gull
when does levelling really slow down, im at 12 right now and it really isnt slow at all
leaden ginkgo
Level 70.
spring gull
arr isnt slow at all?
leaden ginkgo
Indeed.
Getting to 50 is fast, getting through ARR + patches, not so much.
leveling is actually super fast like you will be 70 by SB
It's the story that will slow you down.
spring gull
ah right
plain python
playing DPS sub-50 is kinda a pain :shy:
spring gull
how will the story slow me down?
leaden ginkgo
befriend a tank lol
strange coral
It'll slow down at 50 if you're doing only MSQ as the level 50 quests don't give a lot of EXP. If you keep doing roulettes during those quests, you'll out level it.
spring gull
locking me out of content?
leaden ginkgo
Yes.
A lot of the content is unlocked through the main story.
Dungeons, trials, and maps.
Maps are important because they affect your job quests.
So even if you are let's say level 70, if you don't have Stormblood maps unlocked, you won't be able to proceed with your job quests.
glossy flare
In fact any meaningful content is locked behind story progression
plain python
HW sends me to Falcon's Nest and Sea of Clouds. I need to complete both areas?
leaden ginkgo
Correct.
You work for both brothers there.
Once you finish both questlines, it will get back on the main one.
plain python
does opening aether currents happen after both brother's questlines?
twilit arch
it'll be after, yeah
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. You collect the aether currents manually, and then complete main and blue quests for the rest.
The blue quests will appear as you progress through the main story.
They will have a green crystal icon as a reward upon completion.
Those are the aether current quests.
plain python
is it worth to keep moonstone? I have 14 of them from ixal quests

@nimble forum getting higher rank in GC is useful for other things

@spring gull then you could, in theory, buy some neo ish gear and get the current savage loot in just a few weeks (assuming you win every roll)
twilit arch
doing your gc hunting log plus a couple of leveling roulettes (assuming you can also snag adventurer in need bonus), shouldn't take too long to get to sergeant second class

but being able to buy glamour prisms on the cheap is another bonus

once you're at that rank, you can just turn in old dungeon gear for seals

@nimble forum I think you need to be lv 30 on any crafter to craft them

Nah it was 15, I'm all good now but thanks <3
I'll probably rank up in my GC, I plan to, it's just been taking a long time for me. Might be because I'm a little confused on the system, but this is working better for me at the moment
I'm very needy for the prisms rn so this was quick for me lmao
obsidian patio
The glamour prism recipes are weird.
They used to be level 30, so they use materials around that level.
But when they got nerfed to 15 they didn’t change the recipe to match the new level

So they’re level 15 recipes that use level 30-ish materials

You have to start back at the beginning of a floor bracket

If a friend of mine starts playing, can I level with him as my high level classes, or should I make a new class and level alongside?

Choose harassment
If you want to do the same thing alongside him, then you can just do a new job
Otherwise it doesn't really matter

but i can't do the MSQ, right? cause i've already done it. I'd need to do a new character to do msqs, no?

Not that you can help them much on msq
Other than those quests where you have to fight overworld mobs i guess

Less so much the instanced/solo msqs, but the random "go here, go there" ones.

MSQ is kind of a "single player experience"
You could just accompany him
Or like, have him tell you where he has to go
little pebble
yeah, i know. I want him to have the best time and there's not alot that I can really do.
tacit atlas
The other possibility is to have him stream the game to you and be in voice chat
If you want to do that

I'm worried he's gonna get bored if he has to do it solo and quit, tbh. We all know how ARR is.

I care about his enjoyment because I want to help him hvae a foundation strong enough to push through the slog.

ARR is kind of boring compared to the rest of the game
little pebble
We've been looking for a game to settle on for a bit and he brought up FFXIV on his own and he's down with it. he's seen me tank on my 63 PLD and he likes dungeons and the mechanics of the games. I'm just worried when he skips cutscenes, since thats kind of the heart of the game.

Since ARR is slow and unexciting, a good way to entice your friend to stay would be to show them what an endgame job looks like.

leaden ginkgo
But if I had to guess, it has to be character data.
Because each character has their own settings.
For example once you create a new character, their UI will be the default one.
Even if it's customized on the ones before.
yeah, I noticed it also contains friends list

Hi, does ffxiv have a fixed sub renew day of the month or does the game just straight up not letting you log on after you pause the subscription?
strange coral
There is no fixed day of the month because it's 30 days always. If you cancel your sub and still have days left, you can still login until the days run out.
willow cipher
I see. Thank you for the answer

what level do u need to be to go to the golden saucer
strange coral
15 MSQ, need to be able to travel to Uldah to pick up the quest, but also it has the Envoy quests as a requirement
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. After completing your Envoy quest, take the It Could Happen to You quest from the NPC "Well-heeled Youth" in the Steps of Nald section of Ul'dah.
oblique trellis
anyone know the highest level for MSQ in ARR?
twilit arch
50
oblique trellis
the quest is 50?
twilit arch
max level for ARR was 50
oblique trellis
do the quests go up that high too? My MSQ is level 24 rn
twilit arch
Yes
oblique trellis
ok thx
twilit arch
ARRs quests will be 1-50, Heavensward will be 50-60, Stormblood 60-70, and Shadowbringers 70-80
oblique trellis
trying to decide if I wanna work on my jobs or MSQ heh
fast hull
Get a job level 80, others will be easier to level since it will give an exp bonus
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. The armory bonus will increase EXP gained from mob kills.
oblique trellis
Feels so weird being 20 levels above MSQ, even tho there's level sync
leaden ginkgo
where is character data saved?
I've got an idea
Overleveling is inevitable, this is why players choose to level up multiple jobs at once.
Character data is saved in your documents folder.
drifting burrow
can someone remind me how to wear multiple glamours on the same gear 
leaden ginkgo
Documents -> My Games -> FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn. The folders starting with FFXIV_CHR are the data of your characters.
warped nest
Link the plate to your gearset
oblique trellis
Oh, I'm just doing multiple at once so I don't get bored 😄
leaden ginkgo
Create a gear set, right click and link the plate.
warped nest
Say, Plate 1 to DRK, Plate 2 to WAR
Even if DRK and WAR share gears
They should use different plates when you swap gearset in cities
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. You have to do this for each job individually.
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. When you press to link a plate, the glamour plate menu will show up.
You can customize your glamour plates only through a glamour dresser.
drifting burrow
okok thank you! i'll try it
leaden ginkgo
Good luck, have fun.
zinc orbitBOT
fast hull
need to donate stuff (using glamor prism) to your box, you already have 22 in on the upper tab there are weapon, clothes, try clicking those
twilit arch
leaden ginkgo
You have 22 gear items in the dresser in total, this counts for all jobs. You are only viewing your Scholar items, and you have selected the shield tab. Only Paladins have shields.
twilit arch
once you've made the glamour plates that you want, open the gear set menu (third button at the top) and then right click on the gear set you want to link a glamour plate to
select "link to glamour plate"
leaden ginkgo
what exactly is my character data?
That.
You have it selected.
what about the other files below?
Client files.
ok
Configuration.
If you delete those, once you start the launcher again, it will treat you like a totally new arrival.
It will ask you to agree to the terms of service and sign in from scratch.
It will also reset everything in the game's settings.
Such as the intro cinematic prompt, graphics, sound etc.
oof
In other words the client will behave like it's running for the first time ever.
Total reset.
I see
I just wanna restore a hotbar layout
so I guess I'll back my current char data, download the old one from server (which has the good HUD layout)
and patch the HUD file on top of my current one
Good luck.
thank you
fringe whale
I was browsing in the market and noticed that some people put very low level for sale, like hard leather wristguards (level 10)
Is there a market for low level gear?
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. People seek leveling equipment.
Such gear items tend to sell.
Especially 50, 60 and 70.
ok, it's as I feared, I lost contacts from my friends list when I downloaded my backup from the cloud, but my good HUD layout is there. I'll now patch the folder I just locally backed up with the HUD file alone
Because that's the level for tome gear.
And people might not want to grind for poetics.
So they buy the crafted sets instead.
fringe whale
I've been vendor-ing all my super low level profession gear
leaden ginkgo
Not a problem.
fringe whale
Maybe I should be putting them on market instead?
leaden ginkgo
You can quickly check the price of each item you have through your retainer.
Select put on sale, and check the prices + sale history to see if people actually buy that item.
Depending on what you see, you can choose to list it or sell to a vendor.
robust crow
where do you get phoenix downs?
wouldn't hurt to have a few for eureka
iirc it's only one per inventory no?
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. You can keep one in your inventory, one in your saddlebag and one in your retainer's inventory.
leaden ginkgo
Note: Cannot be used on self.
Note 2: Cannot be used during combat.

jade quartz
They're not that useful honestly.
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. Just use Red Mage in Eureka. for quick resurrections.
twilit arch
so if you were thinking of having one handy for yourself, its not gonna work unfortunately
scarlet hinge
Does shirk divert aggro away from me?
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative.
leaden ginkgo
Useful for tank swapping.
jade quartz
Tank swapping
robust crow
nah, it was mainly so I could have one handy in case I'm not playing RDM in eureka
sometimes I switch to BLM for fat aoe when grinding
no other way than potd? no shops or anything?

There's two side quests that give em

placid hollow
at what level do you get a mount?
leaden ginkgo
Level 20.
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative.
twilit arch
!faq mount
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
Main story quest requirement: The Company You keep. This is the part where you join a grand company.
Next step: My Little Chocobo quest, provided by your commander.
placid hollow
thanks a lot
leaden ginkgo
Item requirement: Chocobo Issuance, purchased for 200 company seals from the quartermaster.
Presented to the stablemaster.
Final step: Name your chocobo.
After this all mount usage is unlocked.
Meaning, if you had any collector edition or mog station mounts in your mail, you can now use them.
Good luck, have fun.
Note: After unlocking a mount, it can be accessed via the Mount Guide window found in the Character menu.
placid hollow
appreciate it
leaden ginkgo
Note 2: The chocobo can also be summoned as a companion to help you in battle, in-game it will be listed as a party member.
placid hollow
cool
leaden ginkgo
In the same Character menu, it can be found in the Companion window. The option to summon it will be found there.
Can also be upgraded as it levels up (must be used in combat to get EXP).
Note: Gysahl Greens must be used to summon the chocobo as a companion. This item must be in your inventory.
Greens are purchased from black rabbit traders and merchants.
Good luck, have fun.
sacred pecan
you can only summon it to fight if you do the My Fiesty Chocobo quest later though
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative.
fair mango
leaden ginkgo
I don't think any kind of dyeing affects it.
To gain spiritbond points the gear must be used for its purpose.
twilit arch
dyeing won't spiritbind an item to you
leaden ginkgo
Defeat monsters with combat gear, craft items with crafting gear and gather items with gathering gear.
twilit arch
gaining exp, or using it for glamour will
wheat plume
Was End of an Era shown inside the original FF14 before servers shut down? The people playing there did watch that video as part of the last quest?
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative.
The cinematic played when the server shut down.
Players uploaded the last moments of 1.0.
Server shuts down at 4:52.
zinc orbitBOT
wheat plume
Thxs, I wasn't sure, because while some videos in youtube from people playing the last quest did show the trailer, others don't with players asking what was happening at just a black screen.
fringe whale
How does one increase number of retainers besides paying $$$?
wheat plume
I'm curious about something: Do you know if the video was downloaded in a patch, or was it streamed from youtube directly to the game?
little swift
You can get 1 more retainer from the paid version of thr xiv companion app
leaden ginkgo
It was in the client.
And still is.
Everything that transpired during the shutdown was a part of an in-game event where the Garleans were invading Eorzea.
The cinematic is the aftermath and conclusion of that event.
wheat plume
Great, thxs for the info
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. Although, if you have Shadowbringers registered, it will play the Shadowbringers trailer instead.
But you can view all movies and expansion trailers via the menu.
There's a movies option.
remote lintel
you can change the title screen back to arr
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative, the title screen can be changed to any expansion. This resets to Shadowbringers (if registered) upon logging out.

twilit arch
no worries
leaden ginkgo

@scarlet hinge http://xivstyle-archive.com/gallery/
Check the "related tags" menu for the other jobs.
twilit arch
it has links to lodestone so easy enough to swap to the english version of that
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. Also, Chrome's page translator does a good enough job translating it to English.
Note: The menus are on the right side. Scroll down for the job list.

hey guys, did anyone get kicked out and the player in que is like hundreds ?
ripe hound
For GNB just meld Crit > DH right?
leaden ginkgo
does alchemy earn a lot of money
ripe hound
You don't need extra Tenacity right?
If you are gonna die you are gonna die
Tenacity can't save you?
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. Tenacity is not a priority stat.
wheat plume
People recommend me shire gear instead of ironworks, can I get it at 2.2, lvl 55, ilvl 96?
twilit arch
no
twilit arch
you need to reach Idyllshire to be able to buy shire gear, which is around lvl 58 in the msq
leaden ginkgo
It is level 60 equipment.
wheat plume
thxs, I ll continue to get ironworks then
twilit arch
so may as well spend what poetics you have on ironworks
leaden ginkgo
Good luck, have fun.
wheat plume
what pros anc cons are there for resurrected inside a boss fight?
slate arrow
only real cons are dropping any resources built up + weakness
leaden ginkgo
Reduced stats for a minute.
slate arrow
which is a -25% and -50% debuff respectively
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. For example, if you had life of the dragon stacked, it will reset to zero upon death.

which one is better, being revived or revive at beggining of dungeon? Or it depends on which boss I'm fighting?
wheat plume
Ah, ok, depends in which buff I have
leaden ginkgo
But I don't want to use more commands in here.
Already got full with just two.
Being revived is alright.
proud willow
during a boss fight, if you choose to respawn, you won't be able to enter the fight again
slate arrow
never release during a boss fight
proud willow
so you should always wait to be revived
slate arrow
you can't get back in until the boss or party is dead
wheat plume
you can't get back in until the boss or party is dead
@slate arrow ok, didn't know , thanks
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. In higher end fights like E7S with the add damage check, if too many people die and get the resurrection debuff, they might not be able to deal enough damage in time.
At that point parties usually choose to reset.
By committing suicide (jumping off the arena).
little swift
You can choose to respawn if the fight finishes
So you can continue the dungeon without weakness
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. Also, being resurrected by a Healer's LB (Limit Break) doesn't give you the debuff.
little swift
There's a shortcut portal you can interact with that sends you to the now empty boss arena so you don't have to run all the way through
hasty rapids
Does anyone know why I'm unable to start this quest? I'm level 33 and I'm still unable to start it.
leaden ginkgo
That icon indicates that you have already started it but don't meet the requirements for the objective.
If I had to guess, you lack the Chocobo Issuance.
Go to your quartermaster and purchase one for 200 company seals.
hasty rapids
Currently at the Storm Quartermaster but she isn't selling anything like that
zinc orbitBOT
proud willow
It's called Storm Chocobo Issuance
hasty rapids
Nevermind. I found it. It was under the material tab and I'm blind lol
leaden ginkgo
Check in the Materiel tab.
hasty rapids
Thanks again guys
proud willow
s'awright
leaden ginkgo
Good luck, have fun.

Thanks!

oh, these ninja combos should be fun to memorize
something tells me macros would make this easier? That allowed?
leaden ginkgo
Macros are allowed, but for this particular purpose, not recommended. Inefficient.
Just practice. The combos will become muscle memory eventually.
hey what;s the most lucrative job?
I was thinking alchemy but reading that it's not the best for gil
Furniture.

i heard trusts adjust dps to always complete at around ~30mins, does that mean that i can pull and then afk trash mobs and mostly get the same clear time?
wheat plume
in market board, why next to level selection filter, there is a "Lv.1" ?
leaden ginkgo
Negative. The clear time depends on your personal performance.
Trust NPCs do not use AoE attacks against groups of mobs, which is why it takes longer to clear the dungeon.
So it's up to you alone to AoE.
in market board, why next to level selection filter, there is a "Lv.1" ?
That's the filter for gear searches so that it will only show gear up to the selected level.
Once you set it, you select a gear icon and a full list of items will appear.
wheat plume
So it always says Lv.1 at the right of +- ?
leaden ginkgo
Ah, you mean that 1.
I think it's supposed to indicate it's going to show down to level 1.
From your selected level.
So a descending order.
wheat plume
ah, ok, so that never changes, right?
leaden ginkgo
I don't think so.
wheat plume
ok, thxs
halcyon grail
So I really want to get the Elemental fending set for glam purposes. Is this difficult to acquire, or just time consuming?
leaden ginkgo
It is time consuming, you must clear Eureka's multiple maps.
halcyon grail
Do I need to read any supplemental material, or join specific Eureka groups to make good use of my time?
leaden ginkgo
Where are you in Eureka?
halcyon grail
I haven't started
leaden ginkgo
I see.
Then for now your focus should be leveling up in Eureka and doing its story to unlock the maps.
fast hull
is emnity = DPS as in if you number 8 you are doing low damage
granite lion
Anybody got tips on titan extreme im going on day 3 now of trying to beat and or get lobbys
leaden ginkgo
You level up by doing the Eureka challenge log and FATEs in the instance.
halcyon grail
Do I get thrown together with other people in Eureka?
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative.
wheat plume
Should I use all my gil in MB to buy gear that really makes my stats a lot higher ? (I've just bought a ring that made my ilvl go up from 103 to 110). Or should I spend money in other stuff and get better gear in dungeons? I currently have 459K and I'm not using it in anything.
leaden ginkgo
You can form groups and hunt FATEs together.
halcyon grail
Do not buy MB gear for i level.
leaden ginkgo
However, this is not advised if you are underleveled as the rewards, both EXP and items will be significantly reduced.
fast hull
@granite lion I just unsynch it to get in over with (for extremes that is)
lucid birch
where can i find my lvl 5g dragoon quest its not showing up anywhere
leaden ginkgo
This is why until your level is high enough you should focus on the challenge log.
wheat plume
Well, I bought if for str (previous ring had str 5, this one has 21).
leaden ginkgo
where can i find my lvl 5g dragoon quest its not showing up anywhere
Check on the top left under your main quest.

What level are you?
wheat plume
What level are you?
@leaden ginkgo Lvl 55, ilvl 110, 2.2
leaden ginkgo
Where are you in the main story?
wheat plume
A final Temptation
wheat plume
yep
leaden ginkgo
You are fine.
You don't need a higher ilvl right now.
The rest of the ARR patch content is all level 50.
wheat plume
should I use lower ilvl gear for getting best rewards?
leaden ginkgo
I don't know what you're asking.
tacit atlas
Do you think that you get less exp by equipping worse gear?
wheat plume
sorry, english not main language.
I have gear ilvl 110, should I switch back to lower ilvl gear so I get better rewards?
tacit atlas
No
leaden ginkgo
No Androkai.
tacit atlas
That's not how it works
leaden ginkgo
Ilvl does not affect rewards.
tacit atlas
Ye
leaden ginkgo
You can go in naked and it will be the same loot for everyone.
little swift
The rewards are fixed
wheat plume
However, this is not advised if you are underleveled as the rewards, both EXP and items will be significantly reduced.
@leaden ginkgo Ah, you were talking about normal lvl and not ilvl here, right?
little swift
Quest rewards won't magically change if you wear something different
wheat plume
ah, ok, sorry
leaden ginkgo
No worries.
wheat plume
Thanks you guys, you've been helping me a lot every day these last 2 weeks
ripe hound
If you can write Crafting Macros you are usually good enough to Craft stuff manually right?
ripe hound
I feel like I forget how to craft stuff without all the Teamcraft UI stuff
tacit atlas
If you make a macro then you should know how to craft something consistently
ripe hound
I guess Teamcraft can still let you play around with stuff even if you need to manually craft it lol
wheat plume
Did anyone found End of an Era video files in the installed game before last quest when was shown to all players?
ripe hound
No idea, I know it's on Youtube though
And it is just ARR intro first half
ARR intro is definitely in game files
tacit atlas
It's possible
leaden ginkgo
is shire gear the best gear until like level 65s?
tacit atlas
I don't know if there were many dataminers considering the amount of players back then tho
Yes
ripe hound
Oh you are talking about if the video is in there in 1.0
I think defenitly
I mean in like 1.23b
The video plays when the player get's booted from the server
tacit atlas
The question is if they found the file before it shut down
ripe hound
So it have to play locally
wheat plume
I wanna know if someone spoiled it because they watched the video before the game showed it to the players.
ripe hound
I don't think it's streamed
tacit atlas
Not if it was there
wheat plume
I don't know if there were many dataminers considering the amount of players back then tho
@tacit atlas thanks
ripe hound
I don't think so
little swift
You can export the macros you make as a copy and passable set of text @ripe hound
ripe hound
Yeah I know
I was just looking at those At 120% efficiency, progress increase by 69420.
And I'm like do people really calculate this shit in their head?
ripe hound
Those how much is 69420 + 42069
little swift
There's a calculations window in the crafting ui in game
tacit atlas
Ye
ripe hound
Yeah
tacit atlas
I use that
leaden ginkgo
hey where do you start stormblood after you've finished hw
ripe hound
It's just the primary school math is too challenging for me
leaden ginkgo
do you just continue with msq?
ripe hound
Yeah
leaden ginkgo
there isn't going to be another period of pain like arr is there?
ripe hound
You just complete MSQ and you be like "FOR ALAMIGO!"
little swift
Theres post hw quests yes
little swift
There are fewer quests and the story is really good
ripe hound
Yeah
little swift
There are post patch quests in every expansion
You can't avoid them
Even shadowbringers has them
ripe hound
||Mid HW or post HW?||
little swift
They wrap up the expansion and lead in to the next
ripe hound
But yeah Shadowbringer's post story is super fucking good
leaden ginkgo
I just googled it and it's saying I just need to talk to alphinaud at rising stone?
so does that come after I do some quests?
gusty pasture
do I need 240 treated crystal sands?
tacit atlas
You just have to do msq
ripe hound
Just follow your msq guide
leaden ginkgo
will do
little swift
Yes you need 240 treated sands
twilit arch
no, you need between 60-80 crystal sand.
little swift
But actual sands
leaden ginkgo
I just wanna get my true gryffin lol
little swift
60 to80
leaden ginkgo
and maybe even the birds
gusty pasture
can I just place the points anywhere?
twilit arch
er yea you'll get 240 total treated crystal sand
gusty pasture
or is there a combination
jade quartz
Shiva is 2.4 btw
twilit arch
but for the crystal sand and umbrite, you need 60-80 since at the 120 pts you will get bonus procs
little swift
Combining umbrite and crystal sands will give you x amount of treated sand
twilit arch
just focus the points into 2 stats
but doesnt matter what you put them into since its just for glamour
gusty pasture
okay thank you
ripe hound
Raiders will be EXTREMLY angry if the BiS for a particular fight is an old relic weapon right?

i mean plenty of raiders do the relic to begin with

and the more hardcore ultimate raiders did make BiS for those
