scarlet hinge
shy bison
i would like to join a big active fc and get to max (i plan to boost past arr cause the questing is not fun for that part)
obsidian patio
Server stereotypes aren’t really a thing, more datacenter-based ones like ^^^
scarlet hinge
was gonna say that
shy bison
i see
little swift
Aether definitely not best
sand grove
Aether gang 
alpine shadow
prob means more people are getting carried
halcyon glen
In my highly subjective opinion
shy bison
i would like to raid eventually but i also really like glamour and just mount farming/crafting skills
lol
haughty spade
someone link the item shop to the game please?
sand grove
@alpine shadow from my experience so far, that's exactly what it means 
little swift
Give advice not perpetuate opinions
halcyon glen
shy bison
well uh
halcyon glen
das the US version, should have links to other places too iirc
shy bison
i plan to pick a standard world cause i figure its more active than preferred right
little swift
Instanced content is cross server
shy bison
i guess i just don't want to pick a dead one with no active fcs or whatever
flint rapids
it doesn't make much difference tbh
flint rapids
i hardly believe that you will get one that is full of dead fcs
halcyon glen
pretty much every world is fairly active these days
alpine shadow
square enix constantly update their server status to be preferred or not, so it barely matters
its all balanced, like all things should be
flint rapids
and anything else you can always use party finder and hop between servers anyway
sand grove
Yeah there's a constant stream of fc ads in chat
flint rapids
if you would like to have a house eventually, i would pick a less-populated server as well
halcyon glen
Plus, the preferred worlds currently have been preferred for the better part of a month
so a ton of new players have joined them!
alpine shadow
less populated worlds are basically preferred worlds
but has probably newer people joining
but newer people also has less chance to buy housing
shy bison
I don't particularly want a house
halcyon glen
but the world population changes so often that preferred worlds tend to be updated almost every minor patch as best I can tell
haughty spade
are there any 2 or 4 player mounts you can get in game or are they all from site?
alpine shadow
it will change after this weekly reset
sand grove
Really you can't go wrong regardless of which server you start in
halcyon glen
as in: I expect they'll change again on monday
alpine shadow
the maint is on tuesday tho
sand grove
@pops you can get a two person mount from the referral program
little swift
Yes 2 player mounts are available in game
Skyslipper 4person is from Eden 4th floor savage
sand grove
Idk which mounts other than that are multi person
alpine shadow
well, it starts at monday (for you), but it ends on tuesday
flint rapids
can i use ffxiv quicklauncher on patch day?
alpine shadow
You mean, the plugins, or the launcher?
The launcher will work fine, but the plugins, not iirc.
Probably need a launcher update for that
when it releases
haughty spade
what is eternal bonds for?
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Marriage
alpine shadow
Eternal bonds are for marrying with your special wife/husband
haughty spade
do you get anything special for marrying?
faint flare
Yes. Depending on the tier
alpine shadow
A teleportation ring.
haughty spade
what do you get for the highest tier?
faint flare
Higher tiers gives two seater mount and dyeable outfits
Its all listed in the descriptions
alpine shadow
sand grove
Wedding packages
little swift
so standard plan is FREE
scarlet hinge
real money/
little swift
but the other plans cost real money
and you can only execute that level if both partners purchase the same plan
little swift
or it takes the cheaper of the 2
scarlet hinge
one time purchase?
alpine shadow
* In the event both you and your partner have different promise wristlets equipped, the wristlet of lesser value (standard < gold < platinum) will determine the service plan for both players when undertaking the quest "The Ties that Bind." @little swift
little swift
yes thats what i was referring to
alpine shadow
and you can only execute that level if both partners purchase the same plan
faint flare
Thats whats he is referring to
little swift
essentially if you want platinum both y'all gotta spend on platinum
haughty spade
so if I get the platinum and wife gets standard it will go with standard and will I get my money back?
faint flare
No
alpine shadow
ah lmao right, thats what he did say
i though the meant to execute the cermony
dumb me, cant read
flint rapids
mostly the launcher @alpine shadow i just wanted to log in without writing my credentials hah
for the house rush
alpine shadow
Yeah, the launcher works fine without updating, it can also update the game too for you.
leaden ginkgo
So I know 5.2 streamlined classes, including crafters. That said, what rotation do I use for my DoH classes in their 30s as they level?
I've been using hasty touch rotations and they're fairly successful, but I was curious if there was a more reliable way
alpine shadow
instead of going trough the actual ffxiv launcher to update
dusky dirge
Hello y’all I’m new and I want to change my class to a scholar im@a lvl 26 pug right now. What should I do?
leaden ginkgo
Pick up the arcanist class
little swift
@leaden ginkgo you can take a look in the pins of #doh-dol-lounge and we have leveling rotations for you assuming you meet the stats to execute them
leaden ginkgo
Ah didn't know there was a channel for em
eager widget
@dusky dirge unlock arcanist in Limsa Lominsa
little swift
make sure you grab the role from #612757637813239808 if you want to look
eager widget
that’s your first step to scholar
leaden ginkgo
I know there's some crazy shit after 50/60/70, but google didn't turn up a lot of low level stuff
kk
abstract goblet
Hey this might be the wrong place to post but is there an area to look for partys for duties/raids etc?
dusky dirge
Oh so I won’t go straight to scholar
haughty spade
is the coocobo the only companion I acn have or are there more?
leaden ginkgo
Scholar is unlocked at 30
eager widget
yr it’s gotta reach 30
abstract goblet
Posted in the lore bit without seeing this section accidentally
dusky dirge
Get arch to lvl 30?
eager widget
it’ll be the guild furthest to the west in Limsa
hot eagle
#603040858782040095 or try an ingame party finder @abstract goblet
proven pewter
wheres the carpanters guild?
eager widget
Gridania outside the aetheryte
twilit arch
near the gridania aetheryte
dusky dirge
I talk to someone in that guild?
proven pewter
thank
abstract goblet
Thanks @hot eagle
leaden ginkgo
My next question is concerning FC's
obsidian patio
@haughty spade chocobo is the only companion
leaden ginkgo
Specifically, what kinds are there and how important is their size?
haughty spade
Okay then I should probalby be leveling it then?
proven pewter
where Is botoniest?
faint flare
Gridina

thakn you
crisp quartz
My brother and I are having trouble learning Loom... anyone have any advice? We already killed that Eye thing but never learned it
little swift
try the b rank flame sergeant dalvag in northern thanalan
its rng that way but he has a 5sec respawn time
you aggro him and then move a distance away and bait him into casting it before nuking him down
drifting ruin
Yo, how do I rejoin my chat windows lmao
obsidian patio
Drag the tabs onto each other
eager widget
if you dragged a tab onto its own, just drag it back onto the chat tab bar
upper pendant
Is PoTD good for leveling tank jobs? Not to learn only level
drifting ruin
that does nothing
obsidian patio
No
eager widget
tanks naturally have a high queuerate due to them having a smaller playerbase
obsidian patio
Tanks have fast queues for dungeons which defeats the purpose of POTD for the most part
eager widget
so dungeons is faster
upper pendant
Oke then thank you!!
eager widget
it’s still fun sidecontent, just not mega efficient for tank levelling
leaden ginkgo
Speaking of POTD, can any level do that?
eager widget
yep and it’ll cap you at 60 in there
leaden ginkgo
Do you bring your own gear?
eager widget
so it’s a good way to check out what the job looks lile at level 60 before you get there
faint flare
No
eager widget
nah it has its own
obsidian patio
Outside gear doesn’t matter
leaden ginkgo
I was thinking of giving it a go
Does a job have to be at 60? Or does it set them at 60
eager widget
nah it’s any job
scarlet hinge
isnt hoh 80 right
dry jolt
Is there a class that is especially good at running solo unsynced dungeons?
eager widget
they have their own levelling systems which is why they hard cap
leaden ginkgo
So if I wanted to, I could take my 30 mch and run through potd?
scarlet hinge
what level u need to be to do hoh
eager widget
yep and you’d see how it plays at 60
obsidian patio
61
@dry jolt if it’s a dungeon you basically one-shot the enemies in, then a fast ranged class like machinist/bard/Dancer
eager widget
intercardinals probably
obsidian patio
If you need to sustain yourself in some way, then you want a class like Red Mage/Paladin/Warrior/healers
eager widget
the puddles have set spots so an inter should put you in the middle of two of em
obsidian patio
You can’t do intercardinals for the geysers
crimson wind
so...i just accept my downtime?
obsidian patio
There’s no safe spot for the geysers, the best you can do is move between two spots depending on when they explode
crimson wind
:(
leaden ginkgo
Where do I access potd again?
obsidian patio
Remember you got plenty of instant cast tools like Triplecast, Swiftcast, Sharpcast

ebon willow
Where can I farm the luminous water crystal?
fast hull
? where the old lady matoya lives I forgot the name with the waterfalls
eager widget
Drav hinterlands
fast hull
Ah yes that one where the library is at
ebon willow
I'm at drav hinterland. Is it the huge tortoise?
faint flare
Any fate
eager widget
it’s any FATE there iirc
faint flare
Its a chance to drop from fates
fast hull
Luminous Crystals are generated by Fates
faint flare
For all luminous crystals
fast hull
so just do them and eventually youll get them
ebon willow
Okay thanks guys
fast hull
in pvp I keep seeing <se.1> what does it mean
dusky dirge
I’m a pug and wanting to be a scholar so I went to the dude and he said I need to finish my level 10 quest of my current job. I am on MSQ lvl 18
faint flare
Sound effect
dusky dirge
What am I missing?
dusky dirge
Where is that?
faint flare
At the puglist guild, they're tracked under your main scenario tracker
All class quests are MANDATORY
ebon willow
In uldah
faint flare
Otherwise you wont advance to jobs and you'll be missing skills
dusky dirge
This is so frustrating, thanks y’all
nova sphinx
I've got a FC that has like 2 members, are Airships impossible to make with a low member FC?
twilit arch
You no longer need 4 ppl in the workshop to turn in mats
faint flare
Even then you just got 3 others
nova sphinx
😮
dusky dirge
Where in uldah is the pug quests?
fast hull
crisp quartz
@faint flare and @little swift thanks! We are actually fighting the one in Northern Thanalan actually! So do we need to get hit by a specific attack or is just seeing his teleportation enough
?
scarlet hinge
@dusky dirge
faint flare
Just see it cast
dusky dirge
Thank you y’all I thought that was an extension to the MSQ
crisp quartz
@faint flare thank you!!!
little swift
Loom doesn't do damage anyways
wintry chasm
@dusky dirge that section of the MSQ tracker also shows you some of the important side quests to do as well. Not just class/job quests
gusty bobcat
how does glam plates works exactly
faint flare
They're basically presets you make in the dresser then you can freely apply them in cities
And can be linked to gear sets
leaden ginkgo
is fastest way from 79 to 80 just mt gulg
faint flare
Yes
leaden ginkgo
hhh
faint flare
You have nothing set currently
gusty bobcat
hmmm
gusty bobcat
ok
faint flare
Put the glamour inside the dresser or armourie if possible
Then use those to make plates
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
dont attack
dusky dirge
Last question, arcanist turns into scholar for sure, correct?
remote lintel
it can be summoner or scholar
mortal current
In alliance raids people might mark the tanks with signs to make them more visible, their friends for fun, or for no reason at all.
manic flare
@remote lintel what's the context?
dusky dirge
So once I hit 30 I should get both quests?
faint flare
You can
mortal current
They might be marking themselves to make it easier to follow them for mechanics.
Or for no real reason at all.
remote lintel
if someone marks an enemy with the red circle sign it means dont attack
if theyre putting it on other players theyre just fucking around or making them more visible
pretty sure the names of the signs tell you what they are under the signs and waymarks menu
gusty siren
any mentors on malboro can DM me i'd like an invite to the novice network
fast hull
? is malboro elitist or something. People just shout at any starter city "Please Invite in NN" and boom got invited
gusty siren
i guess i'll just go to limsa and scream
oblique trellis
What does that 1 on the right mean?
oblique trellis
oooooh interesting
and idk the answer to your question, I'm on Malboro but seems okay?
Everyone has seemed nice so far, which to me is the opposite of elitist
fast hull
I heard some servers use NN kick people since they use it as personal chat
Like NN is suppose to be for people asking questions
crisp ether
some mentors shoulnd't be mentors
oblique trellis
I dunno what NN but it sounds like a place I should be, I have lots of questions
Luckily you folks have been super helpful tho 🙂
fast hull
Yeah usually that was my chat site before I went here
it automatically kicks you when you reach ShB
oblique trellis
is that 2nd or 3rd xpac? idek
fast hull
For example I need help with Qarn as a new tank, mentors sometimes party up with me and teach a few pointers and mechanics
But I am from Lamia, I dont know the culture of Malboro
oblique trellis
Sounds helpful, I just use Duty Finder and hope I don't end up with buttheads 😄
fast hull
Our NN is mostly 30% helping people 70% just shitpost
remote lintel
novice network is like this channel but not as moderated
leaden ginkgo
Can someone break down how FC's work in this game? I know there are some for raid content, but the one I'm in right now is a dead FC and not very useful
fast hull
Ah usually I try to take a peak first on how many members are active, if I am not their friend in real life or I see 1-2 members I move on and find another one
faint flare
FCs are basically guilds
leaden ginkgo
This one has 8 people that have logged on in the last 7 days
remote lintel
fcs dont usually raid together
leaden ginkgo
So are there any other indicators of a good fc?
remote lintel
that depends on what you want
fast hull
well they say to use this https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/ranking/fc/weekly/?filter=1&worldname=Lamia but some FC are just recruiting for numbers and dont really go with dungeons with you
leaden ginkgo
Well I don't see what a crafting FC would really benefit me with
fast hull
Luckily mine helps time to time
remote lintel
fcs are purely social
fast hull
Oh mine all around dungeons/daily roulletes/sometimes even PVP
fast hull
@leaden ginkgo what are you lookin for an FC specifically
leaden ginkgo
Well I was curious as to what areas they covered
remote lintel
depends on the fc
fast hull
Yeah but its better to do raids with people you know with (or at least chatted with)
leaden ginkgo
Because I do enjoy the social aspect of NN, but am not in it, so something more advanced than that basic chat
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
theyre just social in the broadest sense
leaden ginkgo
I am somewhat aware of airships and the like, but this FC doesn't really have much towards it
fast hull
if you want to chat have you tried link-shells (never had luck with them myself) but people say they are good
leaden ginkgo
I haven't looked into fellowships either but I figure there are better options than a dead fc
remote lintel
eh linkshells are more for like friend groups
you can look in #603040697884475393 and see what the fcs have
leaden ginkgo
Yeah
fast hull
is there #recruitment-linkshell?
remote lintel
no

I'm queued for Castrum and it's 8 ppl
faint flare
Castrum and praetorium are the only 8man actual dungeons
remote lintel
yes castrum and preae are the only 8 man dungeons
faint flare
They're netflix and chill
oblique trellis
oh, you said after, so I was confused, sry 😄
oh primal fights after, I get it now
This is an opinion based question, so I'll put it in here as it's the question place
Who looks better as a SAM? Viera or Au Ra
scarlet hinge
If I we all die on potd we do not get any exp?
fast hull
yeah
fast hull
that is why dont like deep dungeons if you party up with randoms
dry jolt
How long are 2.5 and 2.55 compared to 2.4. 2,4 story was OK, but seemed to drag a lot
remote lintel
@oblique trellis lore wise more au ra are samurai than viera
since its literally
from their homeland
twilit arch
well, not their homeland per se
but raen au ra samurai makes more lore sense yes because most raen are from doma/hingashi
pale rapids
a little bit shorter, but there are a lot of cutscenes at the end
remote lintel
light
gritty oracle
Has anyone calculated blu 70 bis for healer?
proven pewter
im guessing late game the market board is where you make your gil?
remote lintel
xaela are based off mongolians
raen are based off japan
@proven pewter by crafting and selling yes
proven pewter
very epic
oblique trellis
interesting...I'll have to check Raen, I started as Xaela for like half of the first quest... then decided to switch to Potato... but now I wanna change back
remote lintel
when you get to stormblood youll find out more about them
oblique trellis
(didn't pay for first change, just started over)
oblique trellis
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna use to switch again
Might even finish ARR eventually if this Castrum queue ever pops
obsidian patio
@dry jolt basically no quests or only like 1-3 got cut from 2.5/2.55 so they’re still pretty long, but that’s more because it has tons of plot and cutscenes
fast hull
How can you get a tight beaked parrot
dry jolt
Thanks....I'm starting to agree with some....while I like the story and cutscenes....it seems IMHO that the games writers are needlessly wordy and long winded in way too many of them
you think a scene is about to end...nope 2-3 minutes more talking about nothing

shrewd mirage
I have to ask "Superbolide" is that that something i should avoid to use? since it drops the hp to 1%?
shrewd mirage
oh
twilit arch
superbolide shouldn't be avoid, but its definitely one of the tank immunities you should be more thoughful about
shrewd mirage
thanks!
twilit arch
because while yes it drops you to 1%, it also makes you immune to dmg
for the duration
sour ruin
So how to you pronounce Idyllshire anyway?
Is it Idle-shy-er?
Eh-dull-sherr?
remote lintel
idd ell shire
shrewd mirage
i will be "invinsible" for 8 secs?
warped nest
Superbolide functions like Hallowed Ground, where you take 0 damage. Your healer have ample time to heal you back up
While DRK and WAR invuln make them unkillable, but they will still take damage.
Invincible to most things yes
It won't let you survive intentional wipe from the boss
half kraken
While technically bolide is supposed to balance out HG by having a bit shorter cd, either of them you're pretty much never going to use twice in a duty
remote lintel
just use it like any other cd
warped nest
If I can use a Pokémon analogy, Superbolide and Hallowed Ground is like having Pokémon Protect, while Living Dead and War's invuln is like having Pokémon Focus Sash
sudden wolf
That’s the perfect analogy lmao
warped nest
You won't die with any of them, but Protect take absolutely no damage, and Focus Sash is no amount of damage can bring your health to 0
gleaming mist
that's actually a really good comparison wtf

Hey guys, when i want to buy a house for my fc must i need the money on the guild bank or in my own gilback?
amber ingot
i got a shadowbringers code, if i get the starter edition , and apply the code , im getting the full game right? I dont need the complete edition
scarlet hinge
I think you would be missing stormblood maybe
glossy flare
No
Shadowbringers includes Stormblood these days
So buying Starter + Shadowbringers is fine 🙂
scarlet hinge
only the complete edition
glossy flare
No
You could only buy Stormblood standalone as some old retail version these days
Which you shouldn't
remote lintel
@dapper flame you need it in your pocket iirc
glossy flare
Because Shadowbringers includes it
scarlet hinge
yeah
Please note that the FINAL FANTASY® XIV: SHADOWBRINGERS expansion pack also includes FINAL FANTASY® XIV: STORMBLOOD

Hi I'm confused on which glam is allowed for the screenshot contest as I've only started playing a couple of months ago and would like to enter the comp.
faint flare
Disciple of magic stuff, aka healer and caster glamours
That look spooky and Halloweeny
oak merlin
Ok so mog station items such as the witches set?
glossy flare
mog station items are specifically forbidden afaik
oak merlin
Ok thank you for clearing that up.
glossy flare
no pay to win basically
oak merlin
Ok.
I understand now thank you for your help.
I'm undiagnosed autistic so i struggle understanding things sometimes.
glossy flare
It's fine 🙂
glossy flare
Ah I see, sorry then
oak merlin
I see would something like taffeta shawl and bottoms count?
obsidian patio
Taffeta bottoms are fine, the shawl isn’t.
Though it does directly share a model with the Coliseum Shawl, which is magic gear.
oak merlin
Ok I will figure something out 😄
obsidian patio
I’d ask about it in #discord-feedback
clever willow
What's the best way of levelling aetherpool gear?
obsidian patio
Not sure if we made a consensus on all-class items sharing models with magic gear
Though you do still need to be a magic class in the photo
oak merlin
I'm a WHM 😄
obsidian patio
@clever willow spam floors 51-60 and grab all the silver chests you see
Floors 1-10 work too but the success rate for those chests start to go down a noticeable amount once you’re past like 40-50 in Aetherpool level
clever willow
Can I even do 51-60 at +18/+17
clever willow
Alright, I'll give it a try
Just did a run of 1-10 and every silver chest failed lol
So was wondering if a diff floor was ideal
rapid aurora
Hey, Quick question about this week's Fashion report: the 100 point this week calls for an Oasis Tunic, but i'm a guy (and while i have no qualms with crossdressing for glam, this is one of the items that won't let me.) will an Oasis Doublet work too?
obsidian patio
Yes
jade lava
i always see people with a grid with white job icons that they can use to switch, how do i set that up?
jade lava
ah okay thank you
rapid aurora
cool 🙂
remote lintel
is print screen the button that puts the ff14 marker in the corner
rapid aurora
@jade lava Setup your gearsets, then go to User macros/Shared, make a new one, and then do
/micon {Gearset number} Gearset
/gs change {Gearset Number}
You can also add extra things like ability/spell casts so you can do a Flashy Transformation sequence 🙂
rapid aurora
the extra stuff is why I mentioned it 🙂
For example, my BLM glam is
/em Summons the power of Shantotto!
/gs change 1 <wait.1>
/ac "Ley Lines"<wait.1>
/ac "Manaward" <wait.1>
/ac "Sharpcast" <wait.1>
/ac "Lucid Dreaming"```
Which makes for a pretty impressive cast sequence (but blows all my cooldowns, so do this somewhere safe lol)
gusty bobcat
but with unleash
rapid aurora
And yes, Shantotto. Ohohoho!
gusty bobcat
is that possible to transform with "Unleash"?
faint flare
Just use it after
rapid aurora
if you can cast it, you can macro it
last kayak
Is there a macro for doing "Place" with pets?
zinc orbitBOT
last kayak
the one I used to have doesnt seem to work
nvm I had extra spaces that was breaking it
rapid aurora
Here's a list of text commands, you'll likely find ones you never thought existed :P
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Text_commands
obsidian patio
You can also see those in game in the macro menu
rapid aurora
yup
obsidian patio
Don’t know the keybind for KBM but pressing triangle on that menu opens it up for controller
oblique trellis
sooo I think I missed something in Praetorium
everyone but me watching a cutscene 😄
rapid aurora
there's just a straight up button on the macro menu for KBM users 🙂
faint flare
You need yo interact with the console before going up the elevator
remote lintel
if it's for the magitek armor you needed the key on the bottom floor
faint flare
To use the armour
remote lintel
so go back down
rapid aurora
lol, yeah, you need the key to grab Maggie 🙂
oblique trellis
found it 😄

I have a question in regards to the Notice of Death Orchestrion Roll.
Is this particular theme very very rare to get or something, because I have searched through numerous servers and not one of them has it?
remote lintel
or people just can't be bothered to sell it
twilit arch
just requires 10 Gelmorran Potsherd, so not particularly rare
just people probably not bothering with what few sherds they get to buy it
scarlet hinge
Is there a list of things u can buy on the square enix shop that give you ingame items
rapid aurora
ahahhaha, leggings and boots are free this week, so I'm accessorising my Oasis Doublet with the 2B leggings and high heels
leaden ginkgo
nod nod Okie dokie.
rapid aurora
I look fabulooous! 😛
remote lintel
the shadowbringers collector's edition gives in game items
and the complete collectors if they even still have that
but you can just buy collectors upgrades on mog
leaden ginkgo
Samhain, may I ask where you get 10 Gelmorran Potsherds from?
faint flare
Bronze chests in potd iirc
remote lintel
and clearing floor 50
faint flare
No
obsidian patio
@leaden ginkgo @twilit arch IIRC, part of the requirement of buying it is clearing either floor 150 or 200
ripe hound
I'm thinkin about reaching lv 80 first then do all my job quests
obsidian patio
The orchestrion roll
ripe hound
With Trained Eye it should be a lot easier
twilit arch
oh, hm didn't realize it also had floor requirements
faint flare
You really want to do crafter quests to 65 for manipulation
ripe hound
Does Trained Eye works on collectables?
twilit arch
its 200, so nvm it is decently rare then
faint flare
Otherwise higher stuff for ishgard is hard
little swift
Ya trained eye works on collectables
ripe hound
Yeah, maybe lv 70 crafts for ishgard ishard
But it's like, I don't want to manually craft so much stuff!
remote lintel
macros
slate arrow
macros
ripe hound
I mean there are so many different things to craft for class quests
And only crafting one of each
remote lintel
you can buy most of those and they aren't that hard
ripe hound
Yeah
I'm thinking Even without Manipulation and Good++ I can probably get tier 2 exp for stuff...?
leaden ginkgo
Thank you for the information ❤️
ripe hound
The only two skills gated by quests are Manipulation and Good++ right?
drifting burrow
hi! as a tank, which one should i be getting?

Also how do I use Patient Touch?
slate arrow
usually, you don't
slate arrow
It's only use is really in ishgard expert crafts
since you do have the +25% chance status
but normally
it's useless.

stable hinge
I want to make it say some text and do the high five emote when I shirk
slate arrow
/p "Text here"
/hifive
/ac "Shirk" <insert target modifer here>

Thanks

what does that do?
slate arrow
turns off the macro error message and noise if it fails

oak smelt
do i have to go through B rank hunts before I can do A rank?
faint flare
A/s ranks just spawn on the map
oak smelt
im kinda confused about the marks i got from the hunt board thingy.
do i need to wait for the B rank dude to spawn? is there a single weekly time?
and is there a point in doing the regular marks?
outer plank
how do i cancel the one additional retainer service?
slate arrow
B and below ranks respawn ASAP, around 5-10 seconds after they're killed
outer plank
im thinking of getting the preimum companion app
faint flare
B ranks respawn in 5s and have multiple locations
oak smelt
so the Flame Sergeant Dalvag thingy i just need to go where it says on the map and itl be there?
faint flare
Theres multiple locations on the map
slate arrow
not always, it respawns at a random but predetermined location
faint flare
Usually people google locations
slate arrow
There's about 10 spots in northern thanalan
slate arrow
it's free weekly/daily content and allied/centurio seals and sacks of nuts can be used to buy yourself nice things
like free teleport tickets
twilit arch
they do
oak smelt
ok
outer plank
where can i make another retainer?
twilit arch
the daily hunt bills are decent do while you're waiting in queue for something
talk to retainer vocates in any of the major cities
glad comet
you can only have a max of 2 free retainers
any more and you need to buy em on mogstation
oak smelt
wait i just picked the allied seals from the GC thingy.
im lvl 64 lol. im assuming i need to pick something higher?
glad comet
which also adds up to your monthly sub
twilit arch
yeah, 64 you wanna do the hunt bills from kugane/rhaglr's reach

@glad comet i found the npc, but apparently even after adding on the 3rd retainer, i cant make it, i assume i can only do it after my sub goes through
again next month
twilit arch
might need to log out
outer plank
ok ill try logging out

fast hull
could anyone tell me what level blue start as?
twilit arch

is it easy to level or should I prioritize spells

blu leveling is pretty easy. more so if you have a friend who can power level you
outer plank
@twilit arch it worked
twilit arch

Ah ok thank you, i think I see blue discord thing gonna check it out
versed geyser
So about level caps, I know the level cap for ARR is 50 but will I be able to go beyond 50 if I have the complete edition even if I haven't beaten ARR yet?
faint flare
Your level cap is determined by what you own
twilit arch
you're locked to a lvl cap by what expansion you own
so since you have complete edition, you will be able to go max lvl which is 80
drifting burrow
hey after we vote dismiss someone, should this add member button be clickable?

The party leader does that

Yeah

hmmm
warped nest
If you look at the top left of your screen
placid hollow
how do i know whether i am or not
warped nest
If you don't see any orange exclamation mark below the red 
It means you don't have any available job quest for the currently equipped job
obsidian patio
When you enter the city of ishgard
placid hollow
i do see one but its for a chocobo i dont think thats my job quest
warped nest
It will literally spell out Heavensward on the screen when you reach the Heavensward expansion
That one you should do too
placid hollow
oh alright
outer plank
question, whats the point of assigning a retainer a dow/m job?
twilit arch
if you don't intend to level one of the ARR jobs or want to give them artifact gear
glad comet
@outer plank
extra gear
rare stuff
retainers can find boss drops
pure white dye
and stuff you normally can't get
e.g. a friend's botanist retainer found a nidhogg scale
twilit arch
I assumed they were asking about giving them a job vs just keeping them as a class
hearty stump
what's the generally accepted placement of meteors for dps in tsukuyomi ex? south relative to where she is?
obsidian patio
Always south from what my parties have done
Tank is north and healer goes far side
hearty stump
in big portion or little portion? I was hopping into different parties and people were alternating
hearty stump
tank/dps would drop it in big or small, It varied from party to party which was confusing

wheat hedge
i'm halfway through heavensward and I wanna play dragoon, but I would basically rather die than grind a new class up to 60
at what point will people not make fun of me for buying level skips?
wheat hedge
so the rule is "don't suck in dungeons"?
faint flare
Do your job basics
leaden ginkgo
The rule is don't suck anywhere.
Which is very easily achieved by pressing the buttons in the right order.
wheat hedge
I mean
leaden ginkgo
Dragoon sucking is a meme, and an old one at that.
wheat hedge
I consider myself a pretty competent warrior player
leaden ginkgo
It's a very solid job.
faint flare
People make fun of skippers cause they skip a job then never bother to learn said job
Then do shit
warped nest
The keyword there is "never bother to learn"
Skipping itself is not the issue
There are even players out there who manually level stuff to max level and still know nothing about the one job they level
leaden ginkgo

its best to practice lower level content before you do on-level content
else you end up being the next job-skip holsminister poster kid

if I buy the dlc skip will it give me the levels also to max out?

A few melee weaponskill need to hit flank or rear
remote lintel
whats the diagram with the ass crack
warped nest
!faq positional
zinc orbitBOT
gusty storm
what does that mean
remote lintel
its the spot you sit on for minimal movement
warped nest
You don't need to be on 3 o'clock or 6 o'clock for flank and rear to count
Moving a bit left or right at the ass corner is sufficient to count for flank/rear bonuses
Some enemies have a target ring will full circle, these are omni directional
spring oasis
how can I fix my fps dropping in duties and such?
only duties
warped nest
Any positional will count on these enemies
spring oasis
idk what I can lower to fix it

ok thats a cool system actually
also do you know what recast timer monks get down to with gl4

@spring oasis set others effects to none and party effects to limited

can you do flank/rear damage when being targetted, outside of when monsters are using skills?
remote lintel
if you cant hit the flank or rear then you cant do it
raw solstice
you can, but it's a bit tight to do so. The only consistent way is to stun them or use true north
plain python
worth to put one point to tank skill for chocobo, and let it free stance, so it will occassional tank and reveal rear/flank for you?
faint flare
It wont even take aggro once
west spruce
chocobo is trash at holding aggro
faint flare
Their aggro capabilities is near non existant
Their damage is too low and infrequent to have good aggro
plain python
if I put point in heal-stance's +15% critical for chocobo, does it stack with the +15% critical in tank's and DPS's stances?
obsidian patio
Yes
obsidian patio
50
plain python
60

HW is 60, but since ARR doesn’t exist by itself anymore it would be 60.

keen fable
is it normal to be having to use nascent flash to stay alive during trash pulls
i just did well at level 77 and the healer just could not keep up
remote lintel
what was their gear
keen fable
scaevan
remote lintel
then they didnt replace their gear
keen fable
so its just that they werent keeping on top of their gear?
i mean, i've only replaced a few pieces as well - i've been saving the gear chests for other characters
every dungeon prior to this one i've been fine
this is my gear
but the only way i was staying alive was using nascent flash
remote lintel
were you using your cds
keen fable
yup
remote lintel
and cycling them
keen fable
my nascent flash + chaotic cyclone was doing more for me than others
yeah
vengeance -> rampart -> repirisal from start
cycling as they come up
not keeping more than one up at a time
and shake it off ofc
glad comet
might be gear then
remote lintel
holmgang?
keen fable
yeah i used that but
it has a long ass cd
so
cure II's were only healing 20k
but i feel like that was more on previous dungeons
remote lintel
they prob didnt know what to do and you pulled too much
keen fable
i stopped pulling more than one pack and still almost dying
on previous dungeons i could pull like
5
packs
and still be fine
remote lintel
they didnt know what they were doing
keen fable
gotcha.
so i should be able to pull more than one pack going forward then?
this was just an anomaly
im only asking because i want to make sure im pulling the right amount
keen fable
yea
remote lintel
yeah i healed malikahs well with full scaevan on a sch and could do 1 - 2 packs
keen fable
well this was a whm
i would assume that you can pull more with a whm while leveling too
remote lintel
all healers can pull the same if they know what theyre doing
keen fable
ah ok
remote lintel
the whm just dumb
keen fable
ic
cause the most that malikah's well would give you is 2 packs anyways
before it cuts it off
just found it odd
thank you though
oblique trellis
So... since I was stupid and accidentally sold most of my decent gear .... is there somewhere to find out the best places to get more? 😄
keen fable
what level
remote lintel
what lvl
oblique trellis
ummm... I ...hold that though
keen fable
is inner chaos a huge dps boost?
little swift
its 920 pot and direct crits
oblique trellis
but my current thing says NIN *40, so dunno if I should do 40 stuff or 50 stuff

Malikahs well mobs melt pretty fast that healer should have been fine if they abused holy
remote lintel
@oblique trellis your class level

Do FC's do a lot of duty finder?

its good and gives you a fat heal for nascent flash

Ok I'll take a gander, thanks
remote lintel
assuming you beat ARR
fast hull
gear?
keen fable
@rotund sable they used holy - but spammed it. so they would stun them but then not be able to stun them anymore, and then not be able to heal me
xD
oblique trellis
Yeah I finished ARR
little swift
thrill was always good
west spruce
holy spam is fine
remote lintel
then yeah ironworks is good til like lvl 55
rotund sable
They should swift the first but yeah it's fine
keen fable
well if i'm at a quarter hp and they spam it
oblique trellis
ok what about after Ironworks, cause Sam is over 55
keen fable
i just die right after
rotund sable
If they have bene they can let you drop
remote lintel
@oblique trellis msq gives gear
remote lintel
they shouldnt be using gcd heals
rotund sable
Yeah
keen fable
ah well maybe thats why i kept dying
rotund sable
If they're running out of lillies and bene idek tbh
west spruce
whm at that point can just use ogcd most of the time
rotund sable
Whm has most of its kit at 77, just missing temperance
fast hull
well if healers wont heal me I usually just stop my AoE and focus on the 123 combos so I can heal myself
remote lintel
they should have also been putting shield and regen on you
