player search is in the social menu
median scaffold
thanks!
while i have your attention
what are the limitations
of being on a different server as my friend
twilit arch
big ones are: can't join fcs on other servers, can't buy/share a house, can't use retainers while world visiting
!faq worldvisit
zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
all limitations tho are listed in the website linked
solid sable
does it make sense to use the duty roulette when leveling my first job?
faint flare
Duty roulettes give you a large amount of xp daily to keep you ahead of the curve
median scaffold
@twilit arch thank you
tulip river
good morning, I want to ask if I could atill get the void ark in daily rou even if I have not done it. I seem not to be able to unlock it on its own
tulip river
ah okay, just been trying to figure out a way 'around' it since I cant get it by just picking it
faint flare
Most people ilvl cheese alliance roulette to force crystal tower
Which is why other alliance raids dont pop too often
crimson wind
Yeah because people prefer their brains fried rather than actually thinking.
dim smelt
Is armory bonus only on preferred server ?
faint flare
No
dim smelt
I never seem to get it in potd
knotty lily
POTD has its own leveling system
faint flare
Potd is completely separate
dim smelt
No I mean the exp you get at the end of potd
dim smelt
faint flare
ONLY road to 70 affects potd xp
crimson wind
Armory bonus is only from killing mobs.
crimson wind
Armory bonus is only from killing mobs.
@crimson wind
dim smelt
Right it seems since I bough a skip for my first class . I did not do the armory bonus quest at lvl 10 and am hence not getting it
Is there a way to fix that ?
dim smelt
Wierd because even at lvl 50 I get I get like 128 percent exp
I've got 5 classes at 8
I'll have to test it out
bronze narwhal
Guys, I just got into sworn reputation on dwarf, but it doesnt give me an extra three quest? is that normal? or is there something I need to do first?
bronze narwhal
ohh I see, thank you
zinc orbitBOT
thin zodiac
Hey guys, does gunbreaker or dancer affect other parts of the story? Like does it have extra tidbits of dialogue like the way drgaoons have?
rocky cloud
i can't update my payment methods on mogstation, it keeps saying it'll redirect me when it isn't
faint flare
They dont yulim
Only dragoon, healers and alchemist for the most part have nods in the story
thin zodiac
Oh alrighty thanks. Was thinking if i should go unlock it now or wait till i get to Shb when it was technically released.
faint flare
It doesn't matter much
thin zodiac
Oki doki thanks thanks ^_^
quiet elm
do you guy know where i can buy some low level clothing glamor (like lvl 1 req)
everytime i change class i got naked
quiet elm
idk what their name are
faint flare
Just go to gear vendors in the 3 starter cities
versed pine
just got a quick question whit the white mage ihigh level will i use regen at 500mp?
young fjord
Regen is like the most effective single target heal in game
faint flare
Regen loses abit of value due to the amount of lily heals and Affaltus misery but its still useful for weaving stuff
vapid veldt
after you're out of lilies and ogcds, then you can put up regen
or if you're expecting to run out
young fjord
As someone who does not parse, it's just lazy mode for me.
Put regen on tank, proceed to spam holy, repeat, you win
versed pine
lol
vapid veldt
prepull regen is also an option if your tank isn't monkey brain
and it doesn't lose any value since you don't lose a gcd
versed pine
cool cool thanks guys
tawny pawn
What do you guys think? Is level 30 miner a good time to take a break for picking it up the first time?
I picked up the class today, and got to that point.
tawny pawn
Yeah, I guess so.
I'm mostly a casual player, but I was kind of waiting for my dailies to reset.
I looked it up, and it reset a bit ago, but before that I learned a bit about the discipline of the land stuff.
fast hull
I think its has already been resert
tawny pawn
Yeah.
1:32 hours ago.
But I was on like 6 hours ago.
I took a break because we had to do groceries, and I ended up talking with a friend.
polar depot
@fresh lodge thanks
tidal yarrow
fast hull
I dint watch the thing, someone said that older raids will get removed?
quiet oracle
Question about server lags on Levi: recently I start to see really long (up to 50 second or more) load times. Sometimes after I load and run around a zone, NPCs and player characters would not show until more time is passed.
Has anyone ran into this problem?
fresh lodge
Oh, it was the WAR rotation lol
green grail
most likely an issue with your hardware and not something server-side @quiet oracle
stoic saffron
hey guys how to make the bot update in my other discord server?
like its giving me the live translation and stuff, cause i have the channel followed but it only tells me when the live letter is on
quiet oracle
Thanks Vis!
polar depot
You help answer my question about worrier
crimson wind
Warrior has a rotation?
fast hull
Yes, you try to maximize cleave
so you try to manage the beast gauge so you can spam that
zinc orbitBOT
shy gull
I just unlocked eden's verse savage. Where should I go to try to find a progression group?
faint flare
Party finder
young fjord
@crimson wind You can get to 99+ 99+ from 50-60
However each silver chest have a very low chance of actually giving you a level
The boss kill give level if you lucky
oblique trellis
Random question: What's the most difficult job to play in terms of rotations and stuff?
last kayak
My knowledge is out of date since I haven't maxed all characters for this expansion, but usually its BLM.
faint flare
Summoner is the main one people say due to the 2min rotation, dealing with pet actions and ghosting and the general amount to juggle
oblique trellis
(Can be an opinion based response, unless there's a definite answer)
young fjord
BLM have a easy rotation, the difficult part is applying it
last kayak
all classes have an easy rotation by that logic though
oblique trellis
For me rn, it's def SAM
faint flare
Blm rotation is pretty straightforward
vapid veldt
smn has a completely static rotation that can be spreadsheeted out
and they're ranged and very mobile
so it's not super hard to apply
faint flare
Then your egi ignores you 
last kayak
egi's are a sad existence
imagine being a summoner but like 90% of your damage doesn't come from your summons π
vapid veldt
For me rn, it's def SAM
SAM does have some leniency in its rotation if you go with a high sks build, since missing gcds can be compensated for by changing the filler sequence
can't do it on dnc
and it's pointless on brd
and melees may have trouble following a spreadsheet if they aren't in control of boss positioning
faint flare
If you're spreadsheeting stuff then you're likely in a static or something and have control over it by talking with tanks
leaden ginkgo
Can "Tabletop" items be placed outdoors?
Someone from my FC accidently crafted a Table Orchestrion
faint flare
No
leaden ginkgo
Where can I look at the slides for the new live letter?
tame bane
Should I focus on finishing MSQ fully (lvl 57 Dark knight atm) or should I start leveling some proffessions for later? Are professions even worth investing before you reach thee end game ?
leaden ginkgo
Thanks
how does housing work in ff14?
is there anyway for me to purchase a plot of land for myself?
plush hound
Yes there is, a plot needs to be open and you can find the current price at that point.
leaden ginkgo
how do i check if a plot is open?
vast crown
youβll know by the dozen people waiting in front of it
plush hound
You can look on the map, the icon will be a gavel. Also when you go to move to another district any open plots will have a price on them as opposed to a name.
vast crown
@tame bane you can pick up any new job or profession at any time but working through msq is a good primary goal since a lot of things are gated behind msq
plush hound
Right now though Finding an open plot is a considerable measure of luck.
leaden ginkgo
is there a limit on how many command missions I can do per week?
im so lost when it comes to trying to find a house atm
@leaden ginkgo Don't bother until 5.35
It's apartment or bust rn
median scaffold
My friend decided to boost to Shadowbringers so that he could play with the rest of us
leaden ginkgo
why wait until 5.35?
median scaffold
is there anything that he needs to do before he joins us in the ShB MSQ?
leaden ginkgo
Because they're adding more housing wards in 5.35
median scaffold
Or do you think after setting up his bars and settings
plush hound
5.35 is going to have more districts open up
median scaffold
that he's good to just come join
leaden ginkgo
how much would a housing ward be?
You're looking at 4+mil for a small house, just buy an apartment for 500k
ah shit
i only have 250k to my name atm
If you don't know how much a house is, chances are you're not getting a house
They're HIGHLY fought over
plush hound
He'll need to do the MSQ unless he bought that boost. Side quests that give stuff (the blue icons with a + on them) are also a good idea.
leaden ginkgo
5.35 is going to be a fuckin' bloodbath
little swift
Did he buy both a story and job skip?
leaden ginkgo
oh well, thanks so much for the help!
No worries
any way to grind gil then?
An apartment is a good starter home
Do your roulettes every day
Work the market, sell quest rewards
Crafting, stuff like that
little swift
@median scaffold see my above question
leaden ginkgo
ok thanks, im pretty new and i've only just finished the vanille version of the game and thought about buying a house
I wouldn't get your hopes up for an actual house-house
An apartment is very attainable tho
median scaffold
I know same but he didnt want to spend 2-4 months going thru ARR
leaden ginkgo
FF14 is very much a 'its the journey, not the destiantion'
little swift
I would say at least also peek into akhmorning to learn how to play his job as well
median scaffold
yeah youre preaching to the choir bud I know
little swift
It like 50 hours to complete 2.0 to 2.5
little swift
It can be quite an investment
leaden ginkgo
That's a weekend if you're vibin' it
median scaffold
Yeee he's not worried about the story
I was mainly asking if there is anything he needs to unlock
or
little swift
Yeah so follow my advice from above
leaden ginkgo
Yeah i'd tell him to watch some guides on summoner
median scaffold
Yeee yeee im walking him thru how to play it rn
leaden ginkgo
Cool
little swift
And he needs to look for blueuquests to unlock content
plush hound
@leaden ginkgo Flat out, you're not going to earn the money you need to buy even a small house before 5.35 and they're going to be snatched up fast. If you're not a part of an FC that has a plot already an apartment is your best bet.
vast crown
it's always sad explaining to new players how brutal housing competition is in this game lol
plush hound
Eh, better to explain it them before they see the chaos unfold though.
quasi spire
I got lucky getting an FC with a big house
leaden ginkgo
Yeah me and my small friends FC have been saving in preparation for 5.35, and even then i'm not getting my hopes up about getting a plot
I have my apartment and i'm content with that for now
You can make some pretty amazing homes with lofts and creatively glitching items togethers
crimson wind
How many Fire 4s can i get off before i need to fire if I have Triple?
faint flare
Depending on sps/leylines you can sneak out 4
little swift
3 still
More or less
Probably squeeze a 4th with ll
Triple doesn't make casts faster
crimson wind
If I don't have a proc?
oblique trellis
Wait.. I thought I only got 30 days free after buying the game?
little swift
If you have an f3p you can probably greed more
faint flare
You got an extra 15 days
crimson wind
ah ok
crimson wind
should i ever sharp Fire 1 ever?
oblique trellis
Sweet
little swift
But I wouldn't greed more
faint flare
You do sharp fire
little swift
Sharp thunder over fire though generally
faint flare
You use it on cooldown
crimson wind
ah ok
little swift
Because its more dps overall to cast thunder procs
obsidian patio
You lose damage if you intentionally hold it for thunder, though
plain python
I seem not able to find a proper time to squeeze Minor Arcana. Trying to get 3 seals and by the time you get 4th card, your Divination is up and u use it, then the 4th card is used to prepare for another Divination. Am I doing something wrong here?
obsidian patio
Just bad RNG :/
faint flare
Redraw helps but super bad rng does that
plain python
just get to lv50
little swift
Yeah that's normal
Without sleeve draw you're missing 1 card every 3 minutes
Minor arcana is for when you dont need the seals as well
plain python
like during solo? 6% divination vs 8% minor
sleek tide
hey housing question
faint flare
Both, it stacks
sleek tide
im guessing we cant automatically relocate to another plot
ex grab a plot in uldah and hope we can relocate somewhere else if we have time
faint flare
You can relocate
sleek tide
i guess like
faint flare
Its a feature
sleek tide
there isnt a timer

faint flare
Damn i thought relocation would be in here
rotund slate
So thinking of coming back n starting fresh on ps4 so need some ideas of what server to pick
leaden ginkgo
whats the difference between joining an fc apartment and a single apartment?
vast crown
fc apartment is cheaper but you'll lose it if you leave the fc
young fjord
My advice, get the non FC version
plush hound
If you mean for when 5.35 comes out there's going to be restrictions to mitigate the chaos, not sure how or if it will apply to a reloaction though.
leaden ginkgo
so is it better for me to wait till 5.35 to join an fc apartment?
faint flare
@sleek tide only relocation I see is a 5min timer
plush hound
Going for an apartment is irrelevant on waiting. There's usually apartments available.
vast crown
no the 5.35 reco was only for housing since there's no plots right now
@rotund slate are you trying to decide between specific ones
rotund slate
@vast crown been awhile since I played so rly looking for decisions on helpful active servers
plush hound
More apartments will open up with 5.35 as a matter of course (more districts=more apartments) but I don't recall them running out of space to begin with.
vast crown
are you na/eu/jp
rotund slate
Na
vast crown
well in terms of stereotypes, crystal is known as more casual/rp heavy so that might be something to keep in mind
otherwise I don't think you can go wrong, especially since you can play with anyone on the same world now
crimson wind
So...starting my Paladin Zodiac, anything i need to know?
little swift
!faq zodiac
leaden ginkgo
All Zodiacs are the same. Paladin just has the option to exchange shields as well.
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
Have a lot of disposable income
crimson wind
I already have the scimitar, what else do i need gil for
leaden ginkgo
how does one join a free company?
tame plinth
is there a macro to target your minion?
leaden ginkgo
currently under the order of the twin adder as a grand company
do i need to leave it to join an fc?
little swift
No fcs can be joined anytime
crimson wind
Oh
little swift
You need a lot of materia
faint flare
The melding sphere thing
crimson wind
huh
little swift
Like 70 to 80 easily
faint flare
Of low tier materia
leaden ginkgo
Channy, I know a command about free companies but the text is rather long. Can I post it in here?
little swift
Yes
zinc orbitBOT
crimson wind
plush hound
Oh you are going to be hurting later on if you're doing the Zodiac.
oblique trellis
The only thing I've spent Gil on is teleporting... I imagine I'm missing out on stuff π
crimson wind
I'm hellbent on getting 480-490 gear for every role, so I'm naturally poor
obsidian patio
Completing a zodiac weapon is a minimum of 400k if you want to do the whole thing
plush hound

oblique trellis
I just started this week, so I don't even know what that means Wol π
crimson wind
Which steps require the gil
tawny pawn
What level are you at right now?
oblique trellis
or Wynne...idk what either of those things mean
tawny pawn
@oblique trellis
leaden ginkgo
Which steps require the gil
Zeta (braves part).
oblique trellis
@tawny pawn highest level rn is 53
tawny pawn
Did you finish the campaign of the base game yet?
oblique trellis
no
tawny pawn
That should be your main focus.
oblique trellis
I just beat Titan
tawny pawn
A lot of content is locked behind the campaign.
So go through all of the main scenario quests.
oblique trellis
well aside from MSQ, I've just been doing Job quests
tawny pawn
That as well.
oblique trellis
and dungeons
tawny pawn
Do all of your job quests and msq quests.
I finished the main campaign of the basegame at level 50.
plush hound
The last steps require you to gather various HQ crafted items. Crafting those requires the use of special materials that can only be rarely desynthed from fairly expensive items. So those crafted items sell for a LOT.
tawny pawn
Generally with old content from what I've learned is that you want to rush the main story questline.
Most of the extra content 'side stuff' is kind of dead.
By the time you finish the msq from the base game, you'll get covered in cheap, strong gear.
As in you'll get poetics, which are tokens you exchange for good gear at level 50.
oblique trellis
Aside from those mentioned above, I've only done +! quests... (though when I started I WAS doing every sidequest I found too, but I've stopped that)
tawny pawn
Yeah, that's the thing.
plush hound
The last (and only) zodiac I did that step cost me almost 3 mill. And that doesn't even factor into the materia I had to buy for an earlier step.
tawny pawn
Most of the +! quests are pointless.
Especially in the basegame content.
If you do every +! quest, you'll never get a lot done.
When I first started I did the same thing, but after having come back after a year I just rushed the main scenario as much as I could.
oblique trellis
I mean I could start over and just rush MSQ π but idk
tawny pawn
You don't have to start over, just go back to the main scenario quests.
And stick to that path.
The exp you get for MSQ versus side content is also huge.
plush hound
Umm, those +! aka blue side quests are for content unlocks. A good chunk of them are required for roulettes.
oblique trellis
prob doesn't help that I haven't stuck with a certain job either
tawny pawn
No, that's good.
Having a main job is good.
I've noticed that a lot of the blue side quests just don't give anything meaningful.
oblique trellis
I don't really have a main π I was PGL, then took rogue when I could... then Ninja at 30, then went SAM at 50
tawny pawn
At least the ones in the basegame.
rotund slate
Seems some of the servers in crystal are preffered
tawny pawn
π€·ββοΈ I've only done Gladiator into paladin.
oblique trellis
hm, guess I should pick between SAM or NIN and just get them to 80 before I go back to my other jobs
plush hound
As I said, those quests are for content unlocks. Dungeons, raids, beast tribes , other classes/jobs, later on zone flight.
oblique trellis
so should I go through and unlock all the lower level Leves?
tawny pawn
I mean, I won't ignore blue quests in later zones, but I haven't run into any issues yet and I've ignored a big chunk of those.
I can always go back and do them if needed.
Is there any meaninful content you get for unlocking beast tribe stuff?
oblique trellis
All I want rn is my free Fantasia, and flight, which are both MSQ based I guess
(tired of being a potato)
cyan fable
Level roulette or spam highest dungeon?
little swift
Roulette first
plush hound
Their vendors sell various dyes, unique materials, minions and mounts based off what rank you're at with them.
tawny pawn
In all honesty the only sidequests I haven't ignored are ones that unlock content like glamours, materia melding, and grand company stuff.
oblique trellis
I've skipped most of the blue Leve quests, cause I'm higher level that the ones I've found.... should I do them anyway?
or is that just gonna be more low level Roulettes?
fast hull
What is the level cap of blu
little swift
60
tawny pawn
As far as I know if you do all of the blue sidequests, you'll be here for years.
Every place has a shit ton of them.
And you don't have infinite time.
fast hull
can they where level 71 items
little swift
No
fast hull
ok pointless in keeping the scaevean set caster thing then
sly vessel
Is it only me or there are awfully few people queing up on lvl 60 alliance raid?
Trying to unclok duty roulette
brave ravine

sly vessel
Is there a specific reason why?

Launcher is aoe missile but alot of mp

Launcher for mob fates
crimson wind
Ok so get both?
little swift
Missile for boss fates
crimson wind
Baelsar's also has a second ability right?
faint flare
Yes get both, they're both instance spells
crimson wind
Also where is missile from
little swift
You cant get atmas without the atma weapon equipped
faint flare
Missile is enkidu with Gilgamesh
forest laurel
can I learn abilities with an unsynced group where I'm the only blu?
kind barn
Battle in the Big Keep
little swift
So using blu is useless here
faint flare
You can, but its a chance
crimson wind
wait what
little swift
can I learn abilities with an unsynced group where I'm the only blu?
@forest laurel yes but its chance to learn
sly vessel
Plus there isnt much reason to do the lv60 24mans
I mean I just want the exp to get in but I guess most prefer 50 24mans
faint flare
Sync is guaranteed
forest laurel
ohh
little swift
Yes you need to use your zenith
crimson wind
Aw
little swift
If you want atmas
crimson wind
How many fates does it usually take per Atma?
little swift
Rng
Player-reported 25% iirc
I just turn off my brain and do it
It took me on average about an hour to get 9 atmas from 1 map
hazy estuary
is there any current use for delta/alpha scape items? Like the cranks and stuff
considering i can get level 70 gear with tomestones
faint flare
Glamour if you like the gear
hazy estuary
I see, so aside from that they are safe to throw away, right?
faint flare
Yes

I'm at 2.39 GCD with no melds, which is comfortable I guess
elder linden
what proffessions would you guys recommend I start with? I'm playing as warrior/dancer if that changes anything?
elder linden
yeah
plush hound
@elder linden This isn't WoW. There's no limitation on jobs and the gatherers/crafters are jobs. No need to restrict yourself on that front.

plush hound
It depends on your level. There's some complicated formula for it but I haven't looked into it too much.
little swift
!faq stats
obsidian patio
You canβt see the percentage ingame
zinc orbitBOT
elder linden
ok I figured as much. I knew you could do all of them. I just didnt know what would a good one to start with. I thought I would be able to just hard focus one, but if they are all interconnected then I suppose that wouldnt work.
static yacht
In the stat interval section
obsidian patio
Culinarian is the most isolated of the crafters
Alchemist too to an extent
So you can hold off those if you wish
solid sable
how tough are actually the arr and heavensward ex primals? since their quests are spamming my questlog and I want to get rid of them ...
plush hound
You can focus on one at a time, but it's going to get expensive as you'll have to buy a lot more matierals off the market board.
faint flare
Hard if you do them synced
You actually need coordination and strat
However they can be soloed/face rolled by lv80 unsynced
solid sable
is there any necessity that I do their quest? I already have them unlocked but got a quest that wants me to kill them
plush hound
They range from really tough to hair pulling levels of frustration, depending on the primal
leaden ginkgo
No necessity.
faint flare
You dont need to do them
plush hound
Nope, Ex/Savage/Ultimate is entirely optional.
leaden ginkgo
There are just side content.
solid sable
so there is no unlock or anything behind it?
elder linden
I tried Ramuh Extreme a few days ago and we didnt kill it.
plush hound
Some Ex/Savage is necessary for some Ultimates, but beyond that, no.
zinc orbitBOT
oblique trellis
Any recs for "must have" mods?
solid sable
okay cool. then I will delete them from my questlog for now
leaden ginkgo
when do we normally get info about whether or not servers will open up/become preferred?
plush hound
Mods are not a big thing in this game. There's some for model changes client side and a couple of parsers for min/maxers but that's about it. And if a GM finds out you're running mods, expect to loser your account quickly.
faint flare
They dont announce preferred/l server changes ahead of time
They only announce it when they have done changes
halcyon glen
At the earliest, our next change will be during the maintenence on the 12th-13th

What does this message in PF mean? $elling EdenVerse, BLU, Ultimates, Primals

And because people dont talk about it in game, they dont really get punished much

@oblique trellis you are safe to use gshade and ACT as long as you don't talk about it ingame. even streamers use it blatantly on stream, even with triggers
rigid narwhal
yeah gpose is kinda against the rules 
faint flare
oblique trellis
idk what either of those are... I'm using Custom UI rn and that's about it

@hollow latch Go to the Waking sands. SSome of the Scions will have th eunlock quests for them
@plush hound Thanks π
faint flare
Yes dark
plush hound
Reskin mods are all client side. They just change how select items look. GShade is one of those that affects lighting. ACT is a parser.
leaden ginkgo
So what, if anything, do you miss out on by doing something unsync?
faint flare
Not really
little swift
The "original experience"
faint flare
There isnt reason to do stuff synced

But realistically nothing

@leaden ginkgo beating your head on a desk in frustration?
little swift
Except if you're trying to learn blue mage spells
obsidian patio
Some duties give out multiple damaged music rolls if you do them synced and with minimum item level enabled

You'll leave thst to rng if you do that

I know Coil for sure has that, not sure for other trials/raids
No they donβt.

There are certain fates that have achievements and in many cases unique drops. There is usually one per zone but they are exceedingly difficult to solo.
ripe hound
Usually it's just xp and seals
gloomy ice
The special achievement fates will have a unique jingle when entering their area.
fading pivot
Oooh that's interesting
gloomy ice
And usually a timer of 30m unstead of 15.
fading pivot
Are any of the drops worth having?
faint flare
Just minions usually
gloomy ice
Depends on the zone. Most of the time it's a minion. In later areas, it's music scrolls, etc.

Back in the day NM farming was basically the main content in 11

fading pivot
Me again, so do non-vendor equipment sets come mainly from dungeons and such like?
obsidian patio
For the most part, yeah
Level cap gear (50/60/70/80) is also bought with Tomestones earned from level cap content
Poetics is earned from 50/60/70 content and used for gear at those levels, with Phantasmagoria and Allegory from level 80 content for level 80 gear

@candid phoenix Not necessary at all, in fact getting a house is super hard since there is limited space and obviously all the housing plots are very much contested by... a lot of people
It does have some benefits of course but nothing crucial

@proven sparrow a majority of fish are only for selling to vendors or desynth. Use your retainer to sell them to see which ones sell good.

Sometimes my combo actions as lancer don't seem to register? I use the skill and I don't get the combo for the nexr skill or it just doesn't deal the extra dmg

Weird, maybe you didn't hit the enemy and now enough Accuracy?
queen yoke
I have never had a skill miss with paladin thought
ripe hound
Also Accuracy is basically not a thing anymore in endgame right?
leaden ginkgo
You get your job stone for every ARR class at level 30 upon completing the respective job quest.
ripe hound
Yeah if you attack enemies much higher level than you, you can miss
obsidian patio
You can miss when hitting enemies above your level
ripe hound
I think gear don't give accuracy anymore right?
obsidian patio
Accuracy is gone as a stat yes

thanks for the tip^^
hazy estuary
Is arms lenght ever used as a DPS?
i know it is important for tank on dungeon pulls
but not sure when would I ever use it on a DPS
strange coral
It prevents knockback, so it can be useful to dps
leaden ginkgo
In some situations you have to use arm's length to keep yourself alive.
Levinforce in E5S and pre-Airbump push in E6S are some examples.
You can adjust and survive both of these but it's easier to just use arm's length.
How much better is Shadowbringers, compared to Heavensward?
That's personal preference.
But Shadowbringers is generally regarded as the best expansion so far.
On average, would more people say SHB is better than HW?
faint flare
Yes
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative.
Okay, thanks
Good luck, have fun.
I'm trying to.
The MSQ really fights the player's patience.
glossy flare
I mean, HW is considered to be the second best expansion by most people
queen flame
I have a question about Grand Companies. I'm at a rank where I can get a squadron and am recruiting and leveling them up.
IF I change Grand Companies, and move to another one. Will my squadron come with me? Or will I have to start over from scratch and recruit new members?
glossy flare
So if you don't like it, this game might not be for you
leaden ginkgo
You start from scratch if I'm not mistaken.
obsidian patio
Your squadron moves with you
But you need to go promote back to 2nd Lieutenant to use them
leaden ginkgo
Never mind, I was thinking about the grand company gear.
queen flame
Wait what?! I start from rank zero?
leaden ginkgo
Yes.
obsidian patio
For the first time, yes
obsidian patio
Yep, though things go by faster once you get sergeant 2nd class
Hunting log provides almost all the seals you need to reach that rank
Any gap can be filled with crafter/gatherer turn-ins if you have those leveled up, or with a bit of fate farming
Adventurer in need for leveling roulette also gives out a decent amount of GC Seals
leaden ginkgo
So if you don't like it, this game might not be for you
@glossy flare Perhaps... I just find it such a bland, tedious experience. All I've done, from the first quest to the end of HW, is teleporting around, being told what to do by characters that aren't interesting, and looking at the "Nod"-animation approximately 500,000 times now
It's all so stiff and risk-free, for lack of better description
I really, really liked the first half of HW, because it really did remind me of a classic FF adventure with a party. That's it.
zinc orbitBOT
vast crown
if youβre not invested by the end of HW, I doubt youβll suddenly fall in love with the rest but maybe the other chapter stories would appeal to you more
the writing continues to get better, they introduce more dialog options in ShB etc but the core is the same
thereβs no major player decisions or anything
leaden ginkgo
I do apologize for putting this in the "Questions" section - I could've posted my question in "Rants". I didn't mean to be unpleasant - I was just a little frustrated that so many declare it to be the greatest thing ever, and I'm not feeling it.
little swift
i mean you don't have to like it. your opinion matters the most to you
its fine to not like what other people like as well
if you're not having fun there's no use to push that hard for it
there might be other things you enjoy in this game
and that's fine as well
oak smelt
have a good one, be wary pulling like that without saying anything with some people though, i like it but some people get realy antsy about big pulls for some reason before cap
what do they mean by cap here?
strange coral
Probably level cap
glossy flare
Yeah, because for some tanks/healers big pulls can be a bit stressful depending on the lvl range
Like GNB in the early 60s because they lack some mitigation skills
Or DRK just before hitting 70 because they lack TBN
fast hull
I use arms length when tank dies and mob goes to me. Then use what ever binding skill I have and RUN AWAY
oak smelt
i see. i was the tank in this case.
im kinda confused since when i started out i was doing the usual noobie single group pulls.
then after i started hitting lvl 50 dungeons my healer or dps would either actively pull additional mobs towards me or theyd tell me in chat to pull more. literally in those words. "pull more".
so i now i just pull as much as i think the healer can manage.
tho this was brayflox(levelling war) so maybe the lower level dungeon had something to do with it?
just that ive done big pulls in all dungeons post 50 and it seems fine.
leaden ginkgo
Can someone clarify the scarlet tailfeather drop? Is this item from desynthing suzaku weapons? Or is it a drop for clearing
scarlet sandal
big pulls are defualt for me unless i see that we cant handle them
fast hull
Arms length is useful in pulling because of "Slow" gives healer time to cast burst healz

@last kayak. music from 4.4/4.5 stormblood is on the shadowbringer soundtrack

@tawny pawn you can safely ignore the new class/job ones if you're not interested as well as the "leves of <location name>"
oak smelt
leves are good for levelling 1 to about 15/20
little swift
leves are only really helpful for leveling crafter/gatherer jobs
you don't really use them for combat jobs
the exp reward is pretty poor
oblique trellis
What do the difficulty settings, after you fail a quest affect?

@ionic hazel from my experience and what I see others say, not really
little swift
Is it worth using Enhance Enpi
@ionic hazel you figured the caveat yourself lmao. if it breaks your combo don't use it. its one of those added benefit things if you have enough downtime and you finished your combo
its not really that great
obsidian patio
Only if you canβt get back to the boss, for the most part
little swift
gnb has a strict 1 minute rotation
fast hull
even on level 60?\
little swift
you jam sonic break/bow shock/danger zone and the cartridge combo inside of no mercy
obsidian patio
Yes, you just have less oGCDs to use at 60
little swift
and danger zone/ cartridge combo also happens outside of no mercy
basically those happen twice a minute
and everything else fits inside of no mercy
fast hull
wait OUTSIDE of no mercy?

I don't get it why don't they just cap the housing prices to prevent quick flips and just use the old system?
so like nothing over 50M
faint flare
Capping price does nothing
leaden ginkgo
well it would prevent people from selling it no? or would they just sell it on side for more?
plush hound
@tawny pawn And you're only getting started.
faint flare
They'll sell it whatever price they want
tawny pawn
You know, I'm happy that it's only the beginning.
faint flare
Regardless on the old system
tawny pawn
I guess I found a gem among all the unlockables that I didn't really need.
plush hound
The Hildebrand questline is one of the best.
sleek roost
The player housing aftermarket is mostly done by trading FC ownership, not using any actual housing system. The problem stems from a total lack of adequate housing supply and people having dragon piles of gil with nothing else to spend it on
But this is veering into more of a #general-discussion topic than a question (:
