Ask them politely to use cooldowns

sch gets easier at 70-80, 60-70 is a nightmare for me XD
fast hull
such as?
glossy flare
DRK is a bit of a pushover 60-70 for example since you lack TBN
And your other cooldowns are fine but sometimes you run out of them

DRK I probably manage due to pld

Which is good... if it is magical dmg
fast hull
I thinkg the 2 jobs that I currently struggling is SCH and RDM XD
Dont know about SAM since I havent unlocked it yet
glossy flare
adding to PLD: Even if you have magical thingies and even Requiescat... the spells don't become instant under Reqiescat until late 70s
So yeah, most jobs have a rough patch where they are just a bit incomplete
warped nest
Samurai picks up at lvl 62
fast hull
Had practice in PVP with requiescat, (even if it is opposite though)
warped nest
Because you generate kenki from all your basic weaponskill at 62 onward
fast hull
confusing use this skill when Full MP, in PVP use this skill with almost 0 MP -_-w
warped nest
PvP skills are designed very differently from your PvE skills
fast hull
Oh God, its 3AM and the exam starts in 5 hours. Need sleep. Will ask about maximizing RDM damage tomorrow. Thank you for the tips

is there a button you can press to force you to "walk-only"? Currently, to walk, I just have to gently move the controller. Helpful for 'Leap of Faith' in gold saucer
oak ice
There's only one i180 spesrfishing gig in the game ruining the whole thing 😔
jade quartz
On keyboard you can toggle walk with Numpad / by default. Should be bindable on controller?

I'm a little confused. I've unlocked desynthesis on my blacksmith, but I can't use it in other jobs until they reach 30 too?

Yes

it is easy to level up to 30. Just buy vendor and turn in leve quest :3
open rivet
how much of a level does Leveling Roulette give again? 70%?
proud willow
It's not always the same; you get a larger roulette bonus for lower level dungeons
and I think the percentage of a level that you get is generally higher at low level
open coral
At higher levels it's worth about 1/3 of a level
proud willow
you can even gain more than 1 level in the really low level
open coral
At lower levels it can be up to 3 levels
sinful mist
3 levels if you include the mobs. I think part of it is, that the higher level you are the less important is the mob exp

fresh lodge
The amount of XP you get it proportional to the difference between your level and the level of the dungeon you got
tawny pawn
Okay, so...I've learned of extended crossbars. Now I have 8 extra slots per bar (L2 + R2), and hopefully I can learn to use that too so I can have up to 24 actions. I also removed sprint and added in a macro to turn my R3 into sprint. Babysteps.
obsidian patio
\o/
tawny pawn
I also managed to find a post where someone described their setup for a level 50 paladin.
glossy flare
That's a pretty solid step though, not a baby one o/
tawny pawn
Ideally I can copy that over, and practice with it.
obsidian patio
I have both of my hold crossbars (L2+R2 and R2+L2) lead to the same half set to avoid confusion.
tawny pawn
And once I get more abilities, I can tinker as I feel.
Can anyone tell me what 'Bulwark' was replaced by?
obsidian patio
Sheltron
tawny pawn
Okay, thanks.
I'm copying over an old set, so I'm trying to translate over actions so I can understand it.
leaden ginkgo
any idea how they are gonna manage to give us new skills for 6.0 ? our hotbars are pretty crazy as is.

30 minutes !?
obsidian patio
Trusts only exist for SHB
leaden ginkgo
i’ve never had that for an early or late dungeon
obsidian patio
it’s early morning for most of NA so you’ll just have to wait for a more popular time of day
open rivet
@gusty pasture there's Squadrons (Grand Company) with which you can do certain dungeons up to like The Vault
gusty pasture
ohh how?
obsidian patio
AKA the PM which is about 5-7 hours from now.
glossy flare
Gotta be second lieutenant in your GC to unlock them
leaden ginkgo
bruh i would get on and PF with you as a tank but i’m in class smh
obsidian patio
If you’re trying to do sastasha for the story you don’t have squadrons
gusty pasture
Im just leveling up an archer because I want to play music as a bard haha
glossy flare
Yeah, to even become second lieutenant you need to be about lvl 50
glossy flare
Then you still gotta level your squadron for a bit before you can take the for a spin
tawny pawn
That extra 8 slots from R2/L2 don't seem to be assignable.
obsidian patio
Character configuration > hotbar settings > last tab
glossy flare
You do that in your company barracks
obsidian patio
You put the skills on the crossbar they borrow from
So if your WXHB or Hold crossbar borrow from set 4, you need to place the skills on set 4
WXHB/Hold are like mirrors that look at their assigned sets for reference
tawny pawn
Okay, so if I understand it correctly, R2 + L2 show different parts depending on the order, right?
tawny pawn
Okay, so the idiot inside me says, make both sides identical.
So I make it idiot-proof.
And they both show the same regardless of order.
obsidian patio
👍
Most jobs fit pretty much all essential skills on one main set, one half set for Hold, and another half set for WXHB
tawny pawn
What is hold?
obsidian patio
The L2+R2/R2+L2
jade quartz
The expanded hotbar you’re editing right now
warped nest
You Hold L2 then tap R2 to peek a different crosshotbar, or hold R2 tap L2
tawny pawn
Okay, for now I think just hold is enough complication for me.
I got scared when you mentioned ANOTHER variation.
jade quartz
WXHB is double-tapping L2 or R2
tawny pawn
Oh dear.
jade quartz
Who knows what the W is supposed to stand for
tawny pawn
Okay, for now I'll stick with hold.
obsidian patio
I think it’s a holdover from JP
tawny pawn
Apparently W has to do with pronounciation of 'Double'.
It just means 'double' by pronounciation.
jade quartz
Oh that makes sense
tawny pawn
"Double - u"
This has got to be the most complicated game I've ever played on console, but this is also the first FF game I've ever played, let alone an mmo on console.
I'm more used to rpgs like fallout, skyrim, outerworlds.
warped nest
It is pretty natural once you got used to how crosshotbar work
obsidian patio
Yeah this was my first proper MMO, if you don’t count web games like RuneScape
tawny pawn
oh, I still have osrs.
warped nest
Then you will start wondering why there aren't more games that uses Crosshotbar
tawny pawn
I just got kinda sad when I finished outerworlds within a few days.
And I needed something sizeable in content.
And I remembered playing ffXIV.
Especially with quarantine keeping me inside.
I honestly was happy enough when I started playing again that I learned basic combos to begin with.
Don't remember ever using them before.
And sorry if I reacted inappropiately with your feedback earlier.
I was just getting peeved since I was already struggling with the level of complexion to begin with, getting told it was supposed to be easy didn't help in making me understand.
agile laurel
Is there any reason that the transition from AF to UI seems slower than the other way around, despite F3/B3 not really seeming to have any different properties?
seems I can get away with closer switches with F3
obsidian patio
Not sure if I ever felt close switches with B3, if you mean cutting it close with the timer.
agile laurel
yeah it's like
if I ever end up having to cut it close
I feel F3 switches round much sooner in the cast time
than b3?
tawny pawn
Okay, another dumb question: This paladin set used 'stoneskin'. Has that also been replaced with something?
agile laurel
it's just gone
obsidian patio
Old removed skill
little swift
stoneskin doesn't exist anymore
tawny pawn
Okay.
agile laurel
same with protect
little swift
so are you saying you feel like you have less time in AF than you do in UI?
tawny pawn
And there's also shield oath.
agile laurel
and probably anything relating to enmity other than provoke and shirk
agile laurel
and probably anything relating to enmity other than provoke and shirk
obsidian patio
Shield Oath is Iron Will
obsidian patio
and Sword Oath is gone
tawny pawn
Iron will?
agile laurel
If I had to switch REALLY close to the timer
obsidian patio
!action iron will
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
little swift
iron will is your tank stance
tawny pawn
OH
agile laurel
I feel F3 allows me to switch closer to the mark than B3 does
tawny pawn
Sorry, I'm not good with names.
little swift
i don't know that i've noticed that but i see what you're saying
there just isn't that much to cast while in UI
agile laurel
like I sometimes drop the timer when switching really close with B3 and I feel i would've got it if it was f3
tawny pawn
What did 'protect' become?
agile laurel
it didn't
little swift
removed
tawny pawn
Oh.
agile laurel
it wasn't replaced it just left
little swift
wasn't a paladin skill either for a long while
tawny pawn
Is there a way to clear actions?
agile laurel
healers and tanks have been notably simplified over the yrs
to cater to the lower common denominator but hey who's counting
tawny pawn
Hey, I appreciate simplification.
tawny pawn
Otherwise the learning curve is more punishing.
agile laurel
but pour one out for cleric stance
sinful mist
or to remove unneeded complex stuff that isn't really needed.
dense garden
do you guys get this kind of problem where your party member/chocobo/summons name greyed out in the party list, or cant select them?
tawny pawn
So, is there a way to remove hotbar actions?
agile laurel
Summons aren't selectable on party list
I don't know how controller goes about it, usually you can just drag them away on pc
obsidian patio
R2+R3 should open a mini-menu that lets you easily swap and remove actions
Select an action twice to be given the option to remove it
jade quartz
@dense garden they’re out of targeting range
tawny pawn
Uhhh doesn't work for me.
warped nest
I thought it is R2 or L2 + TouchPad
tawny pawn
I might be dumb.
obsidian patio
Oh yeah touchpad
dense garden
no, im pretty sure that they are near me
- i can use my
play <party number>macro on them - they received my divination buff
little swift
like I sometimes drop the timer when switching really close with B3 and I feel i would've got it if it was f3
@agile laurel definitely your own perspective being warped by something because their cast times shouldn't be different afaik
obsidian patio
Could also be due to rendering too many people at once
Though I doubt that being the reason
tawny pawn
Okay, so why are the extended crossbar options now both blank?
But when I press l2 + r2 they show.
Is it just showing the empty sides?
obsidian patio
Did you make sure both options lead to the same crossbar half?
tawny pawn
Yes, I did.
obsidian patio
Sorry I think I misread what you typed. The crossbar set shows nothing when you go to it normally?
obsidian patio
You set it to show a specific half of the crossbar for Hold
tawny pawn
Okay, let me rephrase.
When I press R2 + L2 it works fine and it shows what I need.
But, the 'always on display' shows empty squares.
tawny pawn
Right, but how do I make it so the squares in L2 + R2 are shown?
obsidian patio
Can you take a picture of the Hold Crossbar settings? Can’t find a good pic of them on google for self-reference
obsidian patio
Above the main crossbar? Those are from WXHB, and may be referencing a different crossbar set
If you only have them show 4 buttons then they borrow from the actions on the face buttons
obsidian patio
You’d have to make them do all 8 actions from that crossbar half
onyx kiln
how comes that some players lower their itemlv by unequip gear only to try getting into the ARR alliance raids?
obsidian patio
Though I don’t recommend having WXHB and Hold link to the same crossbar sets for sake of space efficiency
The ARR 24-mans are the easiest due to skipping so many mechanics by being vastly over geared
Can’t exactly do the same for the HW/SB 24-mans
tawny pawn
Right, so I can't show the expanded hold control buttons?
Only the WHXB and regular bar?
obsidian patio
Correct, Hold only shows when you activate it
tawny pawn
Ohhhhh.
agile laurel
@onyx kiln because arr alliance raids are dumb easy
tawny pawn
I mean I guess I could make it show the same ones I use.
Ahh, I figured out a way >:D
I make a 'display set'
And an 'in-use' set.
That way I can make the display show what I want to see.
And have the 'in-use' set just use what I need.
As long as I keep them the same I can make the display show the icons I need to see.
That works, right?
obsidian patio
Yeah that can work
It’s why I use a PC hotbar to show what’s usually on my hold crossbar
tawny pawn
I think my way works well enough until it doesn't.
obsidian patio
Hard to say for certain until you get more of your toolkit
tawny pawn
Yeah, I'm going to have to figure out where to put my AOE combo.
Since this old set doesn't have the Eclipse > Prominence combo.
obsidian patio
Either way, I definitely need to sleep now. X_X
zinc orbitBOT
tawny pawn
Am I missing anything here? Level 49 Paladin (I copied and tweaked someone else's setup).
I think I don't have Shirk and Arm's Length.
jade quartz
I’d get rid of sprint since you have the R3 macro
I’d also say put mount away on a non-combat hotbar set or something
tawny pawn
Right, I replaced it with at arm's length.
jade quartz
Arm’s Length is a good defensive cooldown
The slow on enemies is effectively damage mitigation
Shirk isn’t necessary until endgame so that’s ok for now to be somewhere less accessible
jade saddle
I have little chance of getting a house. Is an apartment with 2 flower pots a worthy alternative to grow things I need?
tawny pawn
Okay, if shirk isn't neccesary I won't replace my mount button yet.
jade quartz
Apartments are worth the money in general, I’d say
tawny pawn
Just sprint button with arm's length.
jade quartz
But you can’t do any cross-breeding
tawny pawn
Also, just to not make it hard to read, I made it so that the 'extra buttons' show the R2 + L2 section.
So they're essentially copying from identical hotbar sets that I don't use.
That way I can see what the L2+R2 actions are.
leaden ginkgo
its better to play on controller ?
tawny pawn
leaden ginkgo
idk why but im a bit skeptical
faint flare
Its preference
tawny pawn
This is what I use.
faint flare
Alot of people prefer controller
tawny pawn
I'm on controller because I'm on ps4.
tawny pawn
I don't have the game on pc.

tawny pawn
Keyboard and mouse.
wintry chasm
I use controller on PC because I like it wayyyy more
faint flare
People have cleared all content on both
outer gulch
Quick question, I'm new to the game but I heard that there is voice acting and I don't got it
tawny pawn
It's specific scenes.
faint flare
There isnt much early
leaden ginkgo
Im still learning the game
faint flare
Its more in the important scenes
wintry chasm
Yeah in ARR it's a bit sparce
outer gulch
I see
leaden ginkgo
but thx guys
wintry chasm
but as you go through the game it gets a lot more voice acted
faint flare
And a rare few bosses have voice acting
jade quartz
Only major scenes in the main story, and sometimes some battle cries in boss fights etc., are voiced
And parts of Final Coil
Note the early English voice acting is pretty bad also
faint flare
Cause you know, doing VA for 4 languages with the amount of text we have on the dev cycle we have is expensive AF
jade quartz
When you reach the first expansion the whole VA studio changes to a UK one and the quality overall is much better
wispy parcel
They change the majority of the voice actors from Heavensward on, and theres a lot more VA in general
instead of getting Americans trying to fake British accents they just get actual British people
leaden ginkgo
is there a chance the congested worlds will open up in 5.35? or is the next server update in 5.4?

hot eagle
does squadron scrolll for combat exp work in dungeons?
@plain python yes it's the same buff as the heat of battle fc buff so if your fc has heat of battle 2 active it overwrites it and instead of the 10% from heat if battle u get the 15%
wintry chasm
DONT
Necro
DONT
A) you are thinking of mind
B) any amount of mind you meld won't even scratch the healing you'll do
C) you can't really get gear that gives mind as Summoner

minor isle
trying to pick my gc atm and have a few questions. which is the most convenient in terms of distance travelled between gc and board? i heard that you can change gcs later on.. would i be able to wear the outfit of 1 gc while being in a diff one?
wintry chasm
You can only use the grand company gear and stuff while in said grand company
knotty lily
Most convenient is probably Uldah. You cant wear the gear of Flames if you move to Adders, for example though
wintry chasm
Ul'dah or Limsa really
simply because you can get to the aetheryte and teleport to the market pretty easily
knotty lily
However - each GC you'll be able to collect GC warp tokens that will take you sTRAIGHT to the GC office, without teleporting to main.
What really matters for GC choice is the gear you get to glam, haha
wintry chasm
I'd say the distances are the same
knotty lily
Limsa GC is way upstairs, isnt it?
minor isle
trying to load the links from the faq on gcs and its not really loading
do i have any other alternatives to see more samples?

HOWEVER, I'm aware that the Maelstrom coat isnt really that long so keep it in mind
wintry chasm
Yeah there are multiple glams per grand company
knotty lily
Yeah theres even more than I have there. I'm sure Eorzea Collection can help
minor isle
oh how would i go about setting filters on eorzea collection to look them up?
knotty lily
Not easily haha.
Look up "Lieu" in Body to get the Lieutenants Coat for each, and then....
Look up "Elite" in Body to see the Hunt GC gear for each, too

naive kraken
just missed out testing since i didn't think of it, but do extra keyboard buttons count in the button mashing for things like Hades, Great Hunt, SoS, etc?
faint flare
Yes
Every button works
Except enter
For obvious reasons
But you're contractually obligated to send the chat if you actually hit enter while button mashing
fresh lodge
Depends on what you mean by extra buttons?

wintry chasm
I feel there are no fc looking for members in phoenix, am I looking in the wrong places or is there somthing up with this world?
Where did you look?
Just asking around in Limsa or something for an invite would work
versed pine
new launcher never heards of that can i have a link for it
faint flare
Its just off the website
versed pine
i dont find nothing its been 1 hour i search
sinful mist
if he bought of steam he can't use the website launcher
versed pine
yes i buyed from steam
sinful mist
can't you just buy account time and it will work?
faint flare
Well steam should download the launcher
plain python
if I enter a routtlete 10 minutes before reset, and finish it after reset, will I get the bonus?
faint flare
And launch via the actual game not the triao
sinful mist
there is no difference between trial and actual game i'm pretty sure
versed pine
no they wanna that i finish the free trial time
sinful mist
isn't that depending on your account status?
faint flare
No
versed pine
so if i get thing right im suppose to be able to level 80 right?
faint flare
People often download the wrong launcher trying to start the trial
And get asked for a registration code
sinful mist
wait
versed pine
im lost guys..
sinful mist
did you register your shadowbringers key in the mogstation?
versed pine
yes i did
sinful mist
so on start you have 3 expansions on the top screen?
versed pine
wheni log in the game i push tab shift and i can see the cd key
sinful mist
no I mean, do you have 3 expacs on the upper corner of the screen
versed pine
well i tried to register it and they have say its been use
faint flare
You need to physically copy the code, starting with Starter edition code and put it onto Mogstation
versed pine
i did lol they give me a message that the cd key already been input for that sorry my bad englsih im french nativ
where i supose to have that
sinful mist
when you start the game
versed pine
in the mogstation it look like that
faint flare
Show
sinful mist
hmm
versed pine
give me a sec i will take a pic whit my phone and send it to my mail brb in few min
sinful mist
i'm just confused because i'm pretty sure you get 30 day free time but I never head about 45 day free "trial time"
versed pine
i have buyed the single version of the game, then i have buyed the game again but whit the expansion whit it
sinful mist
ahhh. but that is free time, not trial time. like there should be nothing stopping you from leveling past 60
versed pine
i will show the picture real quick give me a sec
sinful mist
i'm confused tbh
untold sand
uuuuuh so the retainer amount is dependant on how many levels above?
cuz 5 boar leathers is kinda smoll
versed pine
in my account type that say that companion app not registered

companion app is not important

versed pine
yes they say i have 39 day left
sinful mist
and it's a standard account (steam)
versed pine
here the picture guys

manic flare
what is the simplest and hardest tank classes?
untold sand
whats the rogue/ninja skills worth binding?
faint flare
All of them
untold sand
i mean so i dont have hotbars cluttered
glossy flare
All of them
brave ravine
the game is designed to require you to press all 40+ buttons for optimal dps
faint flare
There's no useless skills, except on white mage and astro
glossy flare
In regards to the tanks: Paladin is probably the most straightforward tank, though personally I find Warrior even easier
Gunbreaker may be the hardest with all the weaving but honestly, none of them are actually hard
Even calling any tank "the hardest" feels wrong 🤷
manic flare
is asylum a useful spell for white mage?
versed pine
i have a question guys i started a white mage, but when i look at the final skill dont make me wanna use them what should i take for spell, and i play whit a remote thanks a lot
im level 60
glossy flare
I'm not quite sure I understand your question
manic flare
is there a DPS opener for white mage?
glossy flare
Do you mean what other healers you might try?
glossy flare
(some glare too)
manic flare
@faint flare is that for white mage?
versed pine
well my question is what is the spell i will use to help the party sorry for my bad english im french native
brave ravine
glare for days
faint flare
With presence of mind thrown in
manic flare
i dont have any of those spells
manic flare
so no holy?

Holy is aoe

Holy is for AoE situations

yes that what i have conclude
faint flare
Mind

@minor isle You don't have to switch jobs if you don't want to, but it's totally viable

Hall of Novice stuff is okayish until maybe lvl 30
glossy flare
But some jobs share their gear so you might not have to buy completely new things, depending on what you wanna level
versed pine
lol i use cure1 as my main heal lol
faint flare
Freecure is a noobtrap
minor isle
yep im on arcanist atm
versed pine
but i heal 5k whit it
minor isle
i guess it could also be used for other mage classes (except weap)
flat nexus
cure 2 also costs 1k mana.
faint flare
Doesn't matter
sinful mist
@faint flare it probably would help if you explain why so he understands
versed pine
yea cure1 400mana u can spam it lol
flat nexus
It does low end depending on the tank's gear.
glossy flare
Arcanist shares gear with Thaumaturge and Red Mage
flat nexus
The only ogcd you have is regen
faint flare
White mage has infinite mana
fresh lodge
Don't use Cure 1
faint flare
You primarily heal with off global heals like Tetra, asylum, assize and benediction then use Affaltus skills if you need more
@faint flare
fresh lodge
If you have Cure 2, use that instead
quiet wing
so im having so trouble i bought some stuff on the mog station I received half of them but i didnt receive the other half because my letters were full
i deleted some letters and requested it again and its been 40+ minutes and i still dont have it
faint flare
I did @sinful mist
versed pine
what i do i heal whit cure1 and when thing come nasty i trow benediction then cure3 then cure2
flat nexus
Cure 3 is aoe.
sinful mist
@versed pine contrary to WoW or other MMOs, healers don't need to heal their tanks always to 100% as soon as they drop to 99%
fresh lodge
Cure 2 is your main GCD heal up until you get Lillies
faint flare
Use tetra, asylum and assize before anything else so you can dps/use holy
versed pine
i have lillie i think
fresh lodge
Mana isn't an issue so there is no point using Cure 1
faint flare
Put regen on the tank
flat nexus
Ideally, you'll be casting your DoT, Stone, and Regen/Cure 2/Medica.
That's pretty much it.
sinful mist
healers deal damage most of the time and use their OGCD (skills that are not on global cooldown) to heal, so they can deal more damage
versed pine
people ig tell me to not use medica cost too much money they say
faint flare
Its aoe
fresh lodge
You don't use Medica because there are better skills to use instead
faint flare
If the group takes damage, you use medica/medica 2 if you dont have Asylum or Assize ready
flat nexus
What level is this guy anyways?
faint flare
60
flat nexus
Ah.
versed pine
im level 60 new from this week
faint flare
!faq healerguide
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
See this
fresh lodge
Medica 2 and Assize is all you're going to need for that level
versed pine
yes i have read on internet but i wanted pro tips
flat nexus
Another thing you can do to mitigate some damage for your tank is space out holy casts during big pulls for max duration stun.
fresh lodge
Asylum is good if the party is stacked up together
But you can use it as a free regen for the tank
faint flare
Priotirise off global heals first, asylum,assize and tetra and benediction...they're FREE HEALING NOT PANIC BUTTONS
Doing this allows you to dps more. And dead mobs do no damage
This reducing the amount you need to heal
Thus saving resources
versed pine
okok cool and someting i cant heal the people can they be block by wall and monster?
wispy parcel
Honestly the goal of the healer role in this game is to GCD heal as little as humanly possible
faint flare
By wall, you can heal through mobs
Use holy ALOT
It stuns mobs
Stunned mobs do no damage
versed pine
ok someting the party friend stand beside me and i cant heal him
flat nexus
Just don't get caught up in dealing damage and forget your primary role in the process.
sinful mist
wait, i thought the primary role of healer is DPS
faint flare
People dont need to be at full all the time
versed pine
i never use dps i just pop my healing skill
faint flare
Just enough to survive
sinful mist
yeah, that is the wrong idea for Final Fantasy
versed pine
ok whit me they are alway 80-90%
faint flare
If dps take a random hit in a dungeon, they're fine and not in need of immediate attention
People can go as low as 30%
flat nexus
Depends on the fight, but yeah.
versed pine
some game i lack of skill i must admit but in overall i keep them full
tawny pawn
Welp, I'm glad I did that last paladin quest.
That gave me some seriously good gear.
For my level, at least.
faint flare
Always do job quests
tawny pawn
It's probably nothing.
faint flare
They're mandatory
tawny pawn
I know.
faint flare
They give entry level gesr
sinful mist
basically you wait to heal until he goes to 50%, pop a big heal and then wait again. if he takes more damage than you can heal with your OGCD you can switch to your other heals
faint flare
For the level cap
tawny pawn
I did them because I wanted to have everything unlocked before I get the last quest in the base game main questline.
Once I hit level 50 I also purchased a few upgrades.
faint flare
You need that gear to hit the minimum ilvl for the final quest anyway
tawny pawn
Just a cheap few pieces of IL 115 gear.
Only cost me all my money xD
But it's fine.
versed pine
so no cure1 in the meta
sinful mist
like I don't even start to sweat as a tank until I get to 10%.
faint flare
You wasted money
faint flare
There's much easier and gil free way to get better gear
After you complete ultimate weapon
flat nexus
That can vary from tank to tank though. Especially in random parties.
faint flare
Via poetics
sinful mist
really the only thing is, there are some bosses you have to change your approach. where you want to heal your tank to full, or your party to full as much as possible.
but that is experience
tawny pawn
Right now I'm on 'Rock the Castrum'.
faint flare
You're like 2 quests away
versed pine
i have a another question how do we make money in this game? do you have some item that can be camp and selling high or its a job or a class like forgeron?
faint flare
Crafters primarily make money
flat nexus
There are many ways to make money.
tawny pawn
One thing I do kind of need to do is upgrade my jewelry.
flat nexus
The thing is, there isn't much you need money for.
faint flare
Combatd can make money by selling items from tomes and doing treasure maps
You get access to alot better accessories
After Ultimate weapon
For no gil
faint flare
You get access to 130 gear
tawny pawn
I just had 100.000 gil lying around.
faint flare
With poetics
tawny pawn
So I bought some things.
faint flare
After Ultimate weapon
versed pine
i have buyed a full gear lvl60 100k in total did i pay the right price?
flat nexus
Ideally you want to be buying gear with currency other than gil.
sinful mist
I don't think he is in shire yet
tawny pawn
Well now I know.
versed pine
no just started the fisrt expansion
tawny pawn
For now I'll probably see if I can't finish the main game campaign right now.
flat nexus
You can't buy the 60 gear until you finish the expansion.
tawny pawn
After that I'll do more daily leveling stuff for cash and maelstrom seals.
faint flare
There isnt a need to gear up until you hit that expansion
fresh lodge
If you're not in Idyllshire then you still wasted your money because you don't need better armour
faint flare
Because of sync
sinful mist
basically while doing the MSQ you don't need to buy gear
faint flare
Its a waste
flat nexus
But yeah, don't spend any more gil on combat gear xD
sinful mist
with gil at least
tawny pawn
I won't.
I just wanted to upgrade a few pieces I didn't get gear for.
Like my sword and shield.
sinful mist
you get poetics. those you can spend on the big upgrades
versed pine
okok i see thanks guys lol
flat nexus
100k isn't anything to sweat over so don't feel bad about that.
tawny pawn
Yeah, I had raked up quite a bit so I thought I could spend a little.
versed pine
im new to this been 6 years i didnt touch a videogame
sinful mist
don't worry
tawny pawn
Also, is it ridiculous that I'm a giant Roegadyn paladin with blue flower as head glamor?
versed pine
and for the dongeons do the xp scale really hard?
tawny pawn
I love it.
sinful mist
only if you do duty finder daily reward.
faint flare
The dungeon experience is good
versed pine
like if i do a level 40 or a levl 60 do the xp will be this giant
sinful mist
only if you do duty finder daily roulette reward
versed pine
what is that?
faint flare
Dungeon xp doesn't scale with you. Roulettes give you experience based on your level
versed pine
sorry im a new born from this game lol
flat nexus
You should have some of these unlocked in your duty finder.
sinful mist
if you open the duty finder, you have "roulettes" on your first page.
you get a daily bonus for each of those if you do it for the first time
flat nexus
You get a one time exp bonus on them every day.
versed pine
okok cause it took me 8 dongeons lvl 59 to up
flat nexus
Don't forget your food buff for that extra bit of xp too 🙂
versed pine
food buff lolo?
faint flare
Eating food
flat nexus
Any food you eat gives you 3% combat xp for 30 minutes.
versed pine
okok give us bonus cool man
flat nexus
Free company buff can also give you bonus xp.
versed pine
yea a company have hired me they even said i can sleep in is bed of the owner of the company i ask a lot of question even at 3am in the morning they giv e me a andswer
flat nexus
There are also these, but chances are you don't have squadrons unlocked yet.
elder meteor
any chance the dragonsung tools are going to get another upgrade at any point? i.e., if I already have aesthete's, is it worth bothering with them?
faint flare
Yes
5.35
On Tuesday
They'll seemingly be upgraded at the same time as combat relics
They'll likely be better than Aethese
elder meteor
oh ok
faint flare
We'll see how far the tools get upgraded over the expansion
Haven't really had crafter relics much
elder meteor
mainly considering whether I should meld my tools since there are...a lot of them lol
already pentamelded the non-tool aesthete's gear
faint flare
The main benefic of the relic tools is 5 slots guaranteed
fresh lodge
You can probably just skip melding to tools
elder meteor
yeah I'll probably just stick a 6cp in all of them and call it good
fresh lodge
We don't know that its going to have 5 slots guaranteed
faint flare
Currently it is
open ember
For the battle relic weapon?
faint flare
Combat
fresh lodge
No crafting
versed pine
i got a problem again... i just installed the 2 lastest expansion in ff online but i still dont get xp from monster im lvl 60
fresh lodge
Wait
elder meteor
eh? they have no slots I thought
fresh lodge
They do not
open ember
Okay so its just the combat relic weapons that have 5 materia slots then
versed pine
can somebody tell me why please?
versed pine
they have orange on the xp bar but no numbert
fresh lodge
Take a screenshot
But that should mean you're not capped at 60 anymore
Unless ofc you're on BLU for some reason
open ember
There should be no red cross on your exp anymore
versed pine
here the picture of my xp bar in game
i have killed two random monster they didnt gave me xp im still at 0
fresh lodge
Thats completely normal
rotund sable
Not all monsters give exp
fresh lodge
You were probably just so overlevelled for the mob
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Did you out level them
open ember
Probably
versed pine
yes they were levl 52 i think
fresh lodge
That would be why
faint flare
Then thats normal
They need to be within like 6 levels of you
To get experience
With it dropping off the higher you are
versed pine
ok so if im levl 60 and i just have dongeons lvl 50 cant xp anymore that correct?
sinful mist
You do the main quest..
versed pine
well i cant do main quest a pnj who give accest to the crystal dongeons just dont show is face to the place he suppose to be
my game is in french i dont know how to spell it in english sorry
versed pine

Dungeons and story gear

leaden ginkgo
Oki, ty
leaden ginkgo
what does clear ultimate mean
faint flare
Which is the HARDEST difficulty in the game
leaden ginkgo
oh so like all the dungeons on ultimate?
faint flare
Ultimates take over hundreds of hours to clear just 1
No
Just 1 fight
Alexander ultimate
But its one of the hardest fights in the game
Harder than savage
versed pine
i have find it guys its because i didnt do a quest to unlock the one i need thanks a lot for the help u have giving to me
leaden ginkgo
does anyone know what time 5.35 housing will be released?
tawny pawn
So someone told me that the last few dungeon runs are horrible.
leaden ginkgo
3am PDT?
tawny pawn
Of the main campaign.
faint flare
There's no time for it currently
tawny pawn
I'm guessing it's because of the unskippable cutscenes?
tawny pawn
Yikes.
faint flare
The actual combat you face roll
tawny pawn
So I guess daily roulette becomes a nightmare.
faint flare
So its netflix central
tawny pawn
It's okay the first time, I guess.
But after you've already seen it 10 times over it is a pain.
faint flare
Yep
tawny pawn
I just felt like a child having his hand held lol.
faint flare
People boot up netflix and stuff
tawny pawn
The other tank had 3k more hp and was doing a lot better, and I just came along for the ride.
faint flare
People are synced to i130 if they have higher gesr

is there a way to set a chat channel as the default one? I would like to have party one be the default but when i log out it and log back in it brings me to the novice channel

So you see the massive gear creep
tawny pawn
Yeah, no kidding lol.
keen fable
for tank leveling, is it worth trusting or going with dungeon queues 71+
i feel like i could pull more on dungeon queues but i know holminster is harder to heal
faint flare
But trusts are good for first runs for immersion and learning mechanics
tawny pawn
What is trust?
keen fable
I already know the mechanics

I just haven't done any on a tank before
tawny pawn
Oh.

Otherwise healers hate you

I installed an SSD to run windows, so my old settings are toast.
and I'm not sure what to do. Sorry for the trouble.
strange coral
You can download the NA non-steam launcher here: https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/
But if you don't have sub time, you won't be able to login and download the rest of the game

Ah, I see.
Well, at least finding the installer is a start. I've been searching MOg Station for a DOWNLOAD ME button for the past 15 minutes. 😄

@inland zenith Any with custom deliveries first (whichever has the bonus this week), then BTN and MIN to hit nodes for collectibles. Use Garland Bell to watch timers and know where to go.
