[spare plinth]

if you dont have a proc, do you do jolt next?

[little swift]

yes or you can swiftcast into a veraero/verthunder

to fish for a proc

[vapid veldt]

if ur just starting, do stuff based on the graphic

[spare plinth]

looks like cooldown time for aoe rdm is the opposite of single target

[robust notch]

Use Lucid Dreaming below 8k Mana?

I'm 80 RDM and I've never had to use Lucid Dreaming

[faint flare]

If it gets down there

[vapid veldt]

in full uptime, rdm isn't exactly mp positive/neutral

and raising is also a big drain

[fast hull]

well I used it a lot in trials since I become a rez mage

[robust notch]

I mean sure, if you use verraise I can understand it to be fair

[little swift]

@spare plinth aoe shortcasts are veraero ii/verthunder ii that's why

!action veraero ii

[zinc orbit]

**Veraero II** : lvl 22 RDM (400 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

Deals wind damage with a potency of 120 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Increases White Mana by 7

Powered by XIVAPI

[little swift]

lower cast time

!action scatter

[zinc orbit]

**Scatter** : lvl 15 RDM (400 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(5.0 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 120 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Increases both Black Mana and White Mana by 3

Powered by XIVAPI

[little swift]

5 seconds

[spare plinth]

and you can also dualcast verraise?

[little swift]

yes

[vapid veldt]

don't hardcast veraise lol

[spare plinth]

thats vercool

[faint flare]

You can dualcast any gcd

[remote lintel]

[faint flare]

Even sprint takes dualcast

For some.dumb

Stupid reason

[vapid veldt]

even pot takes dualcast :(

[remote lintel]

isnt sprint a spell

[spare plinth]

versprint

[polar hound]

not listed as one on the tooltip no

[remote lintel]

it says 0 cast time

[obsidian patio]

!trait dualcast

[polar hound]

i believe it counts as an action?

[zinc orbit]

**Dualcast** : lvl 1 RDM

Grants the effect of Dualcast upon casting any spell with a cast time. While under the effect of Dualcast, your next spell will require no time to cast. Effect is canceled upon execution of any action other than an ability. Auto-attacks do not cancel effect.

Powered by XIVAPI

[faint flare]

Sprint is just dumb

[obsidian patio]

Any action other than an ability

[polar hound]

yeah pretty sure sprint counts as an action technically idk tho

[faint flare]

Sprint is just sprint

[rigid narwhal]

dont try and weave stuff inbetween a dualcast

[little swift]

your melee combo cancels it too

[oblique trellis]

Yeah sprint is dumb, just let us run faster all the time 🙂

[polar hound]

>laughs in sprint used to cost TP

[spare plinth]

It used to?

[polar hound]

yep

a bit before before they removed TP all together

[faint flare]

Had a shorter cooldown as well

Melees loved the sprint change, casters hated it

[polar hound]

dungeon pulls could feel like a drag cause all your aoe spam meant no tp left for melee anyway lol...byakko orbs used to drain TP (do they drain anything now?)

the uh..tiger phase orbs

[faint flare]

I think they drain mp? Idk haven't been there

[polar hound]

huh interesting, ranged/healers would grab those because of that 😄

[faint flare]

Not that you see that phase unless you're doing Tornado skip

Even then you should kill before then

[polar hound]

Yeah for sure, i was speaking more-so when it was new/relevant ..just an afterthought of the TP ordeal

[deep herald]

i wish miqo'te acted more cat like

[lean elm]

What are easier ways to raise your FC level?

[slate arrow]

fastest way is to unsync dungeons and then just turn in the gear you get from them

[lean elm]

You can turn in get to FC? I thought that was only GC

Also didn't know you could unsync a dungon

[faint flare]

Turning gear into GC counts towards FC

[faint flare]

And you can unsync anything that's not Shadowbringers/current expansion content

[lean elm]

I'm not in Shadowbringers yet so

Also I'm still a little confused on Retainers. Like I have 2 but Other than selling on the market, and storing my items, I don;t understand how to use them properly

[remote lintel]

they gather things for you

[ripe hound]

Wait I thought you could Unsync ShB stuff?

I mean for ShB stuff that have max ilv, you can't Unsync that?

[oak ice]

You're not allowed to unsync ShB stuff currently

[raven sage]

You can't unsync current expansion content

[lean elm]

they gather things for you
@remote lintel but how

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[warped nest]

Most, if not all, ShB stuff doesn't have max ilvl

The dungeons and the solo story instance between lvl 71 and 79 will sync your level

[ripe hound]

On a second thought it makes sense other wise people will just always Unsync lv 80 stuff

[warped nest]

But lvl 80 contents (maybe aside from Ultimate Alexander) shouldn't have any ilvl sync

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[twilit arch]

the first 3 lvl 80 dungeons do

[remote lintel]

@lean elm you send them on ventures

[oak ice]

Cosmos is a hard 470 sync

[ripe hound]

Also retainers basically can go on ventures and get stuff for you

[oak ice]

And everything below Cosmos also hard syncs

[twilit arch]

||Amaurot|| is 440, twining/akadaemia are both 470

so same as cosmos

[drowsy grail]

what do i use company seals on?

[ripe hound]

Venture and mats to sell

[glossy flare]

To rank up in your GC first of all

[obsidian patio]

If you’re not at sergeant 2nd class or higher I recommend promotions

[glossy flare]

Later just glamour prisms, retainer ventures and some crafting mats

[oak ice]

Yeah, and if you run Mt. Gulg at 80 for some reason it's 420

[warped nest]

the first 3 lvl 80 dungeons do
@twilit arch noted

Tf, you are Kael!?

[drowsy grail]

where can i get promotions?

[warped nest]

Lol, I thought you are another new mentor lololol

[twilit arch]

Talk to the personnel officer and request promotion @drowsy grail

[drowsy grail]

okay thanks

[glossy flare]

in your GC headquarters

[lean elm]

Also, whats the highest rank you can be in GC. When I try for a promotion he says I'm the highest I'm allowed to go. Is it becasue I'm not far enough into the story?

[glossy flare]

Captain is the highest rank

[twilit arch]

Captain

[static radish]

Does FFXIV have a dodge mechanic? Or is it just run around in a circle

[glossy flare]

But you can only rank up via seals up to second lieutenant

[twilit arch]

both 1st LT and Captain require you to do squadrons to get promoted however

[glossy flare]

After that you have to do squadrons

[remote lintel]

there is no dodge

you have sprint and some classes have movement abilities

[warped nest]

There is no Bayonetta like iframe dodging

[lean elm]

Oh thats why

[warped nest]

You "dodge" attack by moving out of the way early

[oblique trellis]

Do people actually use the Ninja teleport?

[remote lintel]

yes

[glossy flare]

all the time, yes

[warped nest]

Yeah

[lean elm]

Squadrins confuse me and I haven't done anything with them yet

[static radish]

Hmm okay

[glossy flare]

it's a super handy skill

[warped nest]

Why not

[static radish]

And I'm guessing your weapon is 100% based on the 'job' you're using?

[oblique trellis]

Intriguing, haven't come across a use for it

[remote lintel]

yes

[warped nest]

Yes

[static radish]

Oookay

[remote lintel]

obviously a healer cant use a gun

[lavish vortex]

Hi! I missed the live letter, are there going to be some mayor UI changes in the next patch?

[glossy flare]

Obvious use: As a gap closer like all the targeted dash skills

[static radish]

I'll need to do some wiki-ing

[glossy flare]

But since it doesn't require any target you can correct a lot of your movement via that teleport

[warped nest]

If you have questions ask em here

[glossy flare]

It gives you a lot of freedom

[warped nest]

Console game wiki are manually maintained

It is too easy for them to miss information

[static radish]

Oh okay I didn't want to annoy you all with ridiculously basic questions lol

[warped nest]

That's fine

[lean elm]

If I literally have no friends, and my FC is only level 2, should I just switch to a different server in EU or something with significantly less people so I can get a house lmao.

[glossy flare]

Hi! I missed the live letter, are there going to be some mayor UI changes in the next patch?
@lavish vortex They showcased some different UI styles since their guest was the UI lead, but they didn't announce any significant changes or anything like that

[warped nest]

Don't to be cocky here, but we know better than a 6 years old article

[static radish]

Ninja does daggers right? dual wield? Does it look like some martial arts shinobi stealth ninja or can i make him look like a normal person

[remote lintel]

there will be more houses added in 5.35

ninja will always look like naruto

[lavish vortex]

@glossy flare thanks!

[remote lintel]

no matter what

[slate arrow]

very naruto inspired in terms of animations

[lean elm]

Yeah but not before everyone buys them up within 2 hours

[glossy flare]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[warped nest]

You can dress them up though

[remote lintel]

ninja literally does the hand symbol things

[slate arrow]

can at least make attire look normal

[warped nest]

For example

[tidal current]

Is there a release date for 5.35?

[remote lintel]

[static radish]

lol no way. hand symbols?

oh jeez

[remote lintel]

yes they do hand symbols

[warped nest]

My Scholar is a hot Librarian lol

[tidal current]

@twilit arch thnks

[lean elm]

wait so when is more houses?

[glossy flare]

These hand symbols are actually part of historic Ninjutsu, Naruto did not invent them

[remote lintel]

tuesday

[lean elm]

oh sht

[warped nest]

You can dress your ninja up to look like a Fisher man if you want to

Naruto invented nothing

[remote lintel]

a fisherman doing assassinate

[warped nest]

Even Chakra exist before naruto

Same deal with nine tail foxes

[lean elm]

I only have like 32mil Gil saved up. Nopt enough for a large plot like I wanted

[glossy flare]

Ninjas using magic is also a staple of japanese folklore (spitting fireballs and stuff), but this is going off topic so I'm gonna stop 😅

[remote lintel]

@static radish i would recommend looking at the class video in the pins if you dont know anything about them

[lavish vortex]

When is allegory cap being removed?

[warped nest]

5.4

[glossy flare]

5.4 most likely

[static radish]

oh duh i didn't even think to look at the pins

[glossy flare]

no one ever does

[remote lintel]

its an overview of all the classes

[lavish vortex]

Thanks

[remote lintel]

but some are story or level locked

[lean elm]

anyway to maybe get people to join your FC? or suggestions on making friends?

[remote lintel]

post in the recruitment channel

[robust notch]

You can't obtain unaugmented Ironworks anymore, right?

What's the best level 50 ring to get in that case

Do I just buy some crafted ring from the MB?

[remote lintel]

crafted

[robust notch]

Oof, oh well

[twilit arch]

or just use whatever

not like the 2nd ring really is gonna make or break anythin

[cosmic abyss]

What are the requirements to unlock astrologian?

[robust notch]

Yeah ok, Brand New Ring let's go

[remote lintel]

[twilit arch]

!faq hwjobs

[zinc orbit]

Heavensward Jobs and How to Unlock Them

Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (DRK, Tank), Astrologian (AST, Healer), and Machinist (MCH, Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".
Since the 5.3 update DRK, AST, and MCH are now included in the free trial/Starter edition of the game, though the unlock requirements are still the same.

Job Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13,9), quest name is "Our End".
Astrologian - Jannequinard at The Pillars (15,10), quest name is "Stairway to the Heavens".
Machinist - Stephanivien at Foundation (8,10), quest name is "Savior of Skysteel".

[cosmic abyss]

Oh ok

[static radish]

I'm guessing this is...Monk?

[remote lintel]

yes

[static radish]

Cooool

Dark Knight also looks fun. Doesn't sound like fun to manage all the gauges of these different classes though lol

Blood gauge... dark/light magic gauge...

[remote lintel]

dark knight doesnt have a lot to manage

[spare sapphire]

just take it 1 at a time 🙂

[remote lintel]

and red mage's gauge isnt on a timer like other classes

[static radish]

oh boy.

i'll start off as the punchy boi or explosion boi

and just go with that then

and yes i know it will take a short bit to get there

[remote lintel]

you can start as pugilist or thaumaturge

[static radish]

monk is later then huh

upgrades then?

[remote lintel]

pugilist upgrades to monk at lvl 30

[warped nest]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[glossy flare]

All classes that start at lvl 1 evolve into an "upgraded" job at lvl 30

[warped nest]

To be more specific on the unlock requirements

[static radish]

boi oh boi

[glossy flare]

But there are also jobs that start at higher lvls so they don't have a base class

Like Dark Knight for example

[warped nest]

It is a bit clunky, so from Heavensward onward, all of them are Jobs straight out of the bat

[remote lintel]

because those are expansion jobs

[warped nest]

!faq expacjobs

[zinc orbit]

Expansion Jobs and How to Unlock Them

Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (Tank), Astrologian (Healer), and Machinist (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require completion of the level 50 main scenario quest 'Before the Dawn'.

Dark Knight - Pillars(13,8).
Astrologian - Pillars(15,10).

[warped nest]

These 7

[static radish]

And the free account doesn't get Shadowbringers, yeah?

[remote lintel]

you dont get stormblood or shadowbringers

[static radish]

okay

okay, so ninja is pretty much infringing on copyright of naruto

[remote lintel]

no

[fallen glacier]

^

[remote lintel]

if anything naruto is infringing on the copyrights of ninjas

[warped nest]

Naruto invented nothing

[static radish]

hahaha but it's got the fire breath, the toad summon....

okay okay

[remote lintel]

fire breathing and toad summoning existed before naruto

[warped nest]

Not a Naruto original

[glossy flare]

all of that is lifted from japanese folklore 🙂

[warped nest]

Naruto does mix and mash different folklore together

But it doesn't invent any new lores

Even stuff like making puppet out of living human, while is not a Ninja thing, probably exist in other folklores

[cosmic abyss]

Which one of those commands show classes that can be played without a prerequisite?

[warped nest]

I don't think we have it

Classes you can just play are all ARR classes

[remote lintel]

all ARR classes basically

[static radish]

yeah no worries

[warped nest]

Except for Rogue/Ninja

[static radish]

I'll figure it out

[cosmic abyss]

oh ok

[faint flare]

Everything you see at character creation really

[warped nest]

Rogue/Ninja was not available on ARR launch and was added in one of the later update. In a sense, it is the first "expansion" class.

[static radish]

Sounds like this will at least be a little more fun than ArcheAge: Unchained

[warped nest]

You can grab Rogue in Limsa Lominsa (one of the three starting cities) once you finish your lvl 10 class quest

While we are at this

[remote lintel]

archeage is

not great

[warped nest]

A reminder: You can only swap to new classes once you finish the lvl 10 class quest for your starting class

[static radish]

Okay, that's fine

I get to pick that? Or is it standard as Gladiator?

[remote lintel]

class unlocks are side quests

you do the quest and get the class

[leaden ginkgo]

hello, why are e7s parties harder to find than e6s or e5s?

[slate arrow]

just make your own

but if i recall correctly, most of the e7 pieces aren't BiS usually? It's been a while since I've checked

[vapid veldt]

it's only pants and ester that's unique to e7

[leaden ginkgo]

Just wondering why the difference in party numbers, it feels like a few people play e7s

[remote lintel]

because they probably already farmed the shit out of it

since its the easiest

[oak smelt]

in potd say i unlocked floors lvl 21-30 as one job. and then i want to level another job that ive never done potd with. is there no way for me to start the second job at floor 21? i have to start each new class from floor 1?

[obsidian patio]

Yes you have to start over

[oak smelt]

ok

[polar hound]

once you unlock 50+ you can start from there

[keen fable]

do you have to finish 5.3 story to start working on current gear

[wintry chasm]

No

[keen fable]

just 5.0?

[wintry chasm]

Since all of that "current gear" is locked behind raids and tomestones

which is unlocked by 5.0 completion

[keen fable]

aight cool

i was just curious as to whether i could start working on it while finishing up the story, since im almost done with 5.0

[ripe hound]

A bit of stuff can be locked behind 5.3

But only a little little bit of end game gear

[wintry chasm]

only like, some trials

[ripe hound]

Actually I think the 5.3 trail weapon isn't the BiS anyway

[wintry chasm]

It's good gear but it's not the best gear

[ripe hound]

Is Eden part 2 locked behind 5.3?

[wintry chasm]

No

[ripe hound]

Cool

Then you can get the best gear before completing 5.3

[keen fable]

where would i go about finding out which gear is bis and stuff?

[ripe hound]

But yeah everything is obviously gated by 5.0

[keen fable]

i know that some gear is highest ilevel but isnt bis

Was there ever really a reason why the confirm time for queue poping got shortened from 60 sec to 45 sec?

[keen fable]

ty

[ripe hound]

Because 45s is really really really annoying because it's perfectly not enough time to finish a craft if you just started

Does anyone know when this change happened?

[keen fable]

im feeling overwhelmed by this

theres a lot of resources in the tank section

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[keen fable]

do i need to know all this

[ripe hound]

No

[polar hound]

just come back to it when you have questions

[keen fable]

w-what

i dont

im so confused

[polar hound]

omni-tank... are you planning on tanking with every tank or just one

[keen fable]

oh is that what that means

[polar hound]

yes

[keen fable]

i see

[polar hound]

warrior doesnt benefit from the same things others do per se because of its abilities

you'll also see "omnicrafter" "omnicaster" etc, all the same meaning respectively

[ripe hound]

But yeah Omni-tank Omni-heal means you tank or heal with multiple classes

[keen fable]

wouldnt you just want to create one set for each class at that point

[ripe hound]

Nope

You can't carry more than 1 of the same equipment on you

[keen fable]

ah

[remote lintel]

if theyre unique

[keen fable]

thats dumb

[polar hound]

endgame gear is weekly locked also

[remote lintel]

which they will be for tomes

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[keen fable]

why can you only have one of each

[polar hound]

Unique

[remote lintel]

because theyre unique

[keen fable]

what purpose does that serve

i see, but why as a game design, it seems like a useless limitation

[polar hound]

well to start it prevents people that have the item from troll rolling others

[leaden ginkgo]

Does logging off inside an inn make a difference?

[keen fable]

gotcha.

[faint flare]

No

[keen fable]

why is the second infuriate used so late in the rotation here? https://i.imgur.com/WB2SEtL.png

[polar hound]

not sure if the innroom cutscene exists anymore but used to

[faint flare]

Because inner release

[keen fable]

wouldn't you want to infuriate -> inner release twice?

before going into

oh sorry

not inner release

[faint flare]

You get inner release on cooldown

[polar hound]

Buffs in ffxiv are multiplicative, also. you wanna line your burst up with this

[faint flare]

Faster

[keen fable]

infuriate -> inner chaos twice*

[faint flare]

And you're not losing anything for delaying the second infuriate

You want IR on cooldown as fast as possible

So its up sooner

[keen fable]

i see

[haughty spade]

so after 50 in aar are you supposed to keep doing the story? Im not getting much exp but getting a lot of blues

[keen fable]

i wonder why the video i watched on war wanted to inner chaos twice before inner release

[polar hound]

always do the story yes

[faint flare]

The story is linear

[keen fable]

yes pops, once you get past 2.55 it starts giving xp again

[faint flare]

You HAVE To do it

[polar hound]

post-expansionname are usually low exp

[remote lintel]

@haughty spade because 50 was the level cap so the post quests dont give a lot of exp

[leaden ginkgo]

So logging off inside the inn is just a pure role play element.

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Got it.

[polar hound]

as long as you logout in a sanctuary (half moon on the right of your exp bar) you're good

[haughty spade]

okay just making sure. Want to know when I should get the next dlc too

[faint flare]

80 story quests after Ultimate weapon

[polar hound]

crescent w.e

[remote lintel]

you would need the base game and shadowbringers

not just dlc

[haughty spade]

oh okay

[keen fable]

one more question - why does it say that it's preferable to provoke + heavy swing? isnt that a dps loss?

albeit a minor one

[faint flare]

Pops eye up sooner

And gets to IR and stuff faster

[keen fable]

wouldn't you reach it at the same time though?

[solid sable]

does cactbot/raid triggers fall under the same grey area as dps meter or are they clearly forbidden and get actually pursuit and banned?

[faint flare]

No because you're not waiting for the gcd from Toma

[keen fable]

cause all tomahawk does is pull the boss and you start right as you hit the boss anyways

hmm

[remote lintel]

@solid sable its the same as the dps meter

[faint flare]

If possible you sprint to the boss

[remote lintel]

cactbot is an addon to act

[faint flare]

To get there faster

[polar hound]

sprint at ~10s prepull usually...im pld tho so ykno

so you just buy shb

[keen fable]

stormblood & shadowbringers are just bundled together

[polar hound]

Heavensward/Stormblood are included with Shadowbringers

[haughty spade]

is it like a season pass type thing or would I have to buy the next dlcs as they come?

[remote lintel]

@pure fiber you should get pop ups on your screen every time you encounter a new feature

[polar hound]

well...not sure exactly about HW because of the trial but yeah all previous expacs are included with the newest

[remote lintel]

you buy the next dlcs as they release

which isnt until next year

[haughty spade]

ahh okay thanks

[ripe hound]

One releases every 2 year

[haughty spade]

also

[remote lintel]

@polar hound hw is part of the starter edition

[haughty spade]

When should I buy dlc? when I hit 60 or now?

[polar hound]

ahh

honestly if you can afford the sub, just buy now

[remote lintel]

you already have the base game so

[keen fable]

is it worth it to level up gatherers just so i can make my own food? (this late into a tier, i would assume that food is pretty cheap?)

[remote lintel]

food isnt super expensive to begin with

[polar hound]

social restrictions and such unlimited makes for a nicer gameplay experience of course

[keen fable]

what about potions?

[remote lintel]

potions arent that expensive either

[polar hound]

@pure fiber what about? are you on controller/m+kb? some specifics and maybe someone can help but thats pretty vague

potions/food are usually expensive this late only if like..there's a rng material and such but with how easy doh/dol are to level now, theres a bunch out there..doesnt hurt to level them either way

[haughty spade]

yes pops, once you get past 2.55 it starts giving xp again
@keen fable

wwhat do you mean by 2.55?

[fast hull]

blue mage has only 1 weapon?

[polar hound]

patch 2.55

[remote lintel]

all classes only have 1 weapon wym

except like paladin

[faint flare]

Blue mage has 3 weapons

[polar hound]

blue mage's weapon is cosmetic, they have like 2 you can get from quests

[faint flare]

The lv1, the lv50 and 60 one

[haughty spade]

how do you know what patch im in?

[fast hull]

I mean your starting weapon is the only one you get XD

[remote lintel]

@haughty spade by the quest names

[faint flare]

All cosmetic except the lv60 one which has materia slots

[polar hound]

you said you're in post-arr

[pure fiber]

@polar hound well i got scared of the menu and quit the game

[haughty spade]

ahh

[polar hound]

unfortunate

[remote lintel]

scared of the menu how

[pure fiber]

but how should i play

[polar hound]

with a cuppa tea, to start

[remote lintel]

^

[polar hound]

those pop-ups are tutorials to help you not scare you

[remote lintel]

the stuff like "link to playguide" and "achievements" can just be closed

and you can stop them from popping up in the settings

[pure fiber]

cool cool great guys

after that how do i meet friends to play with

[remote lintel]

join a free company aka guild

or the novice network

[polar hound]

once you get past the initial pop-up hell (it's a 10+year old game, 1.0 counted) just browse through the configs

[keen fable]

i just mentioned the patch name, basically when you enter heavensward, the next expansion, you'll start getting xp again@haughty spade

they purposely dont give much xp during post patches because you're already at level cap anyways when it's current content

so that if you're doing the content when it's NOT current content, you aren't leagues ahead of where you should be

[remote lintel]

thats what i said

[keen fable]

even though road to 70 does that anyways..

fight me cerberus

i didnt read

[remote lintel]

[keen fable]

[pure fiber]

cool cool ty guys

[faint flare]

Map Linkshells

[patent citrus]

what does savage raids give you beside the books token?

[faint flare]

The gear drops

[twilit arch]

!faq savageloot

[zinc orbit]

What floors of savage drop which items?

Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

[patent citrus]

does it mean that if i roll tank during run, I can use the currency to buy book for my scholar?

[twilit arch]

yes

[faint flare]

You can spend on whatever

[keen fable]

so the floors just drop currency, not the actual items?

[faint flare]

Or use the coffer on whatever

[twilit arch]

they do

[faint flare]

Both

[little swift]

You can also open the coffer on scholar for appropriate gear

[faint flare]

Coffers + book

[patent citrus]

i see, this is nice

[faint flare]

Book is the totems like extremes

[keen fable]

oh so you're guaranteed something each week

but you can also get more

[faint flare]

Yes

[patent citrus]

ahhh the coffers is once per week

the book is farmable

i get it

[faint flare]

Books are "my rolls are bad" pity totem

No

Both are weekly locked

[patent citrus]

ok

[faint flare]

With savage

Whem it is locked

You have ONE CHANCE

to loot

[patent citrus]

eh books also weekly lock? o_o T_T

[keen fable]

don't you get less loot per player that's already completed it that week though?

[faint flare]

Yes

[remote lintel]

not now

[keen fable]

so how do you prevent that from happening

cause less loot is sad

[remote lintel]

you would put on your PF 2 chests

then people who havent completed it would join

[faint flare]

Normal savage rules: you have ONE CHANCE to loot as much or as little as you want. Regardless what you get you always get 1 book in your inventory. If 1-4 people have already cleared this week, 1 chest spawns...5+ means no chest spawns but you still get books

[keen fable]

is there any way to verify that people are joining who havent

[faint flare]

You also get a message when spawning in

[remote lintel]

when you go in it tells you how many chests there are

[faint flare]

Saying "you're eligible to X chests"

[patent citrus]

or does it drop anyway but the people who've done it can't roll on it?

[keen fable]

oh so if you go in and someone was trying to be sneaky

you just figure out who it is

[faint flare]

Also Duty completion for savage stops people who have already cleared

From entering

[keen fable]

oh

so just duty finder

got it

[remote lintel]

no

[faint flare]

On PF

[remote lintel]

its a PF tag

[keen fable]

OOH

[faint flare]

If you join a 1 chest group when you've already cleared you cant roll

[remote lintel]

but anyway nothing is weekly locked for savage anymore

[faint flare]

Like i said, you have 1 chance

Under normal locks

[keen fable]

so you always get 2 chests now?

until the next tier

[faint flare]

Yes

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

And free farm

[keen fable]

ah i see

[remote lintel]

and oyu can do them as many times as you want

[faint flare]

5.4 will have the standard locks

[keen fable]

and they just normally do this right before the following tier

isn't 5.4 like 2 months away?

thats a long time to be unlocked for

[remote lintel]

because its late in the raid tier

this raid tier has been going on for months

like all summer long

[keen fable]

is there usually 6 months a tier?

[remote lintel]

no

[keen fable]

how long is it?

[remote lintel]

like 3 months or something like that

[slate arrow]

this tier is the exception

due to COVID

[twilit arch]

well

technically, yes its 6mos per tier

this tier was unusually long though

[keen fable]

oh

so is it usually 2 mos of locked, 1 unlocked?

[little swift]

Its 2 major patches total

6months is correct roughly

[twilit arch]

this tier was released with 5.2

5.4 is going to be the final raid tier

[faint flare]

5 months locked, 1 unlocked

[little swift]

We've had this tier for 6 months before 5.3 hit though

[twilit arch]

and then the next raid tier will be 6.0

technically 6.05 but whatever

[keen fable]

i feel like you'd run out of raids then

if an expansion is 2 years long

[patent citrus]

so if i want to gear my scholar bis too, should i gear him or should i just keep rolling tank?

[remote lintel]

you have alliance raids

[faint flare]

Thats why they spread them out

And have alliance raids in odd patches

[patent citrus]

and just buy the scholar gears with my tank

[twilit arch]

thats why 8 man raids are in the even patches

and 24man raids are odd

[keen fable]

ah

so there's still 4 tiers total

just ones in 8 mans

[twilit arch]

3

[keen fable]

two*

[faint flare]

Raid tiers are every even patches (X.0, X.2 and X.4)

[remote lintel]

theres 12 8 man raids

[patent citrus]

I see, nice

[faint flare]

3 tiers

[keen fable]

so for the alliance raids

there's no gear progression?

in the odd patches

im confused

[twilit arch]

odd patches are catch up

[little swift]

They're catch up

[faint flare]

Odd patches are Catch up

[keen fable]

ah

[faint flare]

Just see puppet bunker for example

[keen fable]

a good time to catch up your alt jobs and stuff

[remote lintel]

alliance raids give gear that helps your ilvl but its not the best

[faint flare]

Allows non raiders to get augmented tome gear

[wheat plume]

what are ads_

[faint flare]

And i490 gear

[remote lintel]

@wheat plume additional enemies

[keen fable]

well but at that point whats the point of doing the catch up if you just craft the new gear at the start of the next tier?

[faint flare]

Parse runs, ultimates if any

[keen fable]

i see

[faint flare]

Achievement

Bigger damage numbers

[twilit arch]

also mostpeople

who are doing catch up, are not going to be the same people buying crafted gear at the start of a tier

[keen fable]

is there a way to predict what matts are going to be needed in the next tier?

or are the matts new as soon as the patch drops

[slate arrow]

most of the time the latter

[keen fable]

where are they usually obtained?

[slate arrow]

legendary nodes

[keen fable]

cause i assume you would want to level up the crafters yourself and then just make your own

[little swift]

Tomestones are a part of it too

[keen fable]

rather than buying

[slate arrow]

legendary nodes and tomestone materials

[little swift]

And scrips

Also beast tribe

[keen fable]

alright

and the weekly lockout for gear - that's not per job, correct

that's character

[remote lintel]

yes

[keen fable]

sad. ok

there's no way to farm bis gear on more than one role then while it's current content?

[faint flare]

Well it doesn't take that long

[keen fable]

the current tier*

[faint flare]

To get bis

[keen fable]

how long?

[ripe hound]

Is there a place I can find a list of all crafter foods?

[faint flare]

Depends how lucky you are with drops

And how many tome pieces you need

Tomes are the most limiting factor

And upgrade mats

I finished all my savage pieces within like 4-5 weeks

[remote lintel]

forever stuck at 499 cause my static didnt do e7s

[keen fable]

but then that only leaves a few weeks for the rest of bis :C

for another role

[wheat plume]

is doom aoe same color always? in different bosses?

[little swift]

For what fight?

[remote lintel]

its not a few weeks

[faint flare]

Its like a month ish for a job

[little swift]

World of darkness?

[patent citrus]

i only remember the dungeon and the one in world of darkness lo

[little swift]

Thats a gaze attack

[faint flare]

And each tier is around for 6 months

[patent citrus]

and they have different animation

[ripe hound]

Wait wut? Are you talking about Eden Verse now?

[faint flare]

You can get like 4 jobs to BiS

[ripe hound]

For Eden Verse it's unlocked so once you can farm it it's really easy to fill all your classes with Eden gear

[remote lintel]

before the unlock

[faint flare]

Especially with books

[ripe hound]

Oh yeah you'll be capped by Allegory

[patent citrus]

how many books can one get per week?

[little swift]

1 if locked

[remote lintel]

if its weekly locked, 4

[ripe hound]

I think historically 1

[faint flare]

1 per floor

[ripe hound]

1 for each

[little swift]

Per floor

[faint flare]

And each are different and buys that floors loot pool basically

[patent citrus]

dam i need 8 sepul book for edengrace manatrigger

[remote lintel]

eden gate has been unlocked for a long time

[patent citrus]

oh sorry

so i can farm them in 1 day? 😂

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[remote lintel]

yes

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

[ripe hound]

Eden verse is also unlocked

[faint flare]

All savage is unlocked currently

[patent citrus]

ohh only copied and puppets are locked

[remote lintel]

not copied

[faint flare]

No

[remote lintel]

only puppet

[faint flare]

Only puppet

[patent citrus]

oh right only puppet 🤦‍♂️

[faint flare]

Puppet will be lifted in 5.4

[open ember]

I've seen more than one boss to use Doom, is the AoE color the same for Doom without regarding of the boss?

[gloomy mortar]

Does 2P ever speak ?

[remote lintel]

no

there's no voice acting in the alliance raids

@wheat plume technically no

[keen fable]

what is this

[faint flare]

Shinyru mount

[keen fable]

ty

is FR what you have equpiped

or

can you glamour it onto something

the item that is in the fr

[twilit arch]

equipped or glamour

[faint flare]

Its whats visible

[twilit arch]

doesnt matter

[keen fable]

gotcha

i just would rather use whats already in my glamour chest that im not using

for the ez 100 points stuff

than pull it out, equip, then put it back in

thank you!

[split jay]

Why do people call lalafel potatoes

[remote lintel]

because they're short and round and come from out of the ground

I'm jk on the last part

[keen fable]

they arent potatoes

:C

[gloomy mortar]

Why does 2P wear a blindfold?

[faint flare]

Because thats her character in nier

She wears one in nier

[remote lintel]

well the character she's based off does

also technically it's a visor

[opal bough]

Do People that help you sign the FC petition actually need to stay in the FC?

[twilit arch]

nope

they can leave once the fc is formed

[opal bough]

Thx

[leaden ginkgo]

How long does it take to level a gatherer? Or rather, how long does it take to get a sufficient amount of materials from a gatherer to help with a craftign class?

[remote lintel]

not long

maybe a day if u have ishagrd resto

[leaden ginkgo]

And if you don't?

[remote lintel]

maybe a few days

[leaden ginkgo]

And what about gathering materials? Is it relatively easy to gather a lot of them for what yu want to craft? or does that depend on the level of your gatherer?

[remote lintel]

you can mass gather like you can mass craft

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah. So I if gather one item, I can quick gather it like I would when auto crafting?

[remote lintel]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

And what about the gathering nodes? Don't they have a limited amount of the item you want to gather?

[remote lintel]

yes they have health

[ripe hound]

I calculated I need 2250 Approved Grade 3 Skybuilders' Diadem Iron Sand from lv 70 to 80, did I calculate this right?

[leaden ginkgo]

So how long you'd be able to auto gather from that node would depend on its health?

[ripe hound]

Does this number seems too big for anyone?

Or is this exactly how much mats you need to burn though?

[remote lintel]

gathering 1 item from a node reduces its health by a certain amount

i think you can get like 4 items from one node iirc

from normal nodes

[ripe hound]

Is it common to need like 2000 of some item when crafting 75 of them?

[slate arrow]

depends on the item, some do require 4-5 per precraft while others are only 1-2

I know if you're trying to make all 8 crafter tools and offhands you need a lot of brashgold plates and you need about 300 brashgold ore total

[ripe hound]

I see

Yeah I'm trying to make a spread sheet and calculate how much mats I need to craft enough stuff to level from 70 to 80

It currently looks like this

Which is kind of scary

But I don't think I made a mistake in calculation

[slate arrow]

oh yeah for the grade 3 stuff you need like 5 per craft

level 80s use 10 per craft

[ripe hound]

Yup

Lv 70s also needs 10 per craft

[slate arrow]

eyup

you need a lot so it's only recommended if you're lazy

[ripe hound]

10 per craft, 75 crafts needed

And I often multiple items needs it...

Hey it'll only cost 5 mil!

ok wtf

Wait, are there cheaper ways to level?

[junior yacht]

ok so i just got my first Resistance weapon. it's just the base weapon right now, yes? it can't be upgraded yet?

[twilit arch]

ayep

[remote lintel]

yes

[twilit arch]

5.35 is bringing 2nd step

[leaden ginkgo]

Why not just gather the stuff from diadem @ripe hound

[slate arrow]

@ripe hound leves, collectibles, stuff you gather yourself

[ripe hound]

Yeah I should just go do them

[slate arrow]

if you have the handking gear at 70 you should be able to HQ all leveling recipes

I used the 70 crafted set and had no problems

[ripe hound]

Yeah I got 70 Handking

[slate arrow]

yeah you'll be fine then

[ripe hound]

Also what do you mean by leveling recipes?

[slate arrow]

level 71-79

the leveling recipes

[ripe hound]

Just craft 1 of everything?

[slate arrow]

no as in the stuff you craft for leves and collectibles

[ripe hound]

kk I see

[frail fulcrum]

I want to get the 1000 fishing trophy on ps4. Will it try to sum up all of my 3 characters' fishing or no?

[warped nest]

No

PS4 trophies are based on the achievement log inside the game, per character

[frail fulcrum]

Ah ok, thanls

[warped nest]

Therefore, it will not sum up fishing stuff from three characters. However, 3 characters can complete separate achievements and it should count

Character A do all DoW/M achievements, B does only DoH, and C does only DoL, and it should still count toward the PS4 trophies

[frozen violet]

does food buff apply to the end of run exp given out from deep dungeon?

[outer plank]

@frozen violet no

the only thing that applies is armory bonus

I have a hot bar question. so I have hot bar 4 set up to numpad.. but for some reason my hotbar 4, doesnt change my class skills out when I change class. For example, I have my scholar skills on it. But when I change to Astro my scholar skills stay on it

[patent citrus]

char setting -> hotbar -> sharing

[tacit atlas]

There is a toggle so it changes with your class or job

^

[gilded crypt]

what to do with old crafter scrip gear? cant turn it in for seals

[tacit atlas]

Give it to retainers?

[patent citrus]

sell to npc 😂

[little swift]

no use to give to retainers

[tacit atlas]

Or that

[little swift]

crafters don't have a retainer equivalent

[tacit atlas]

Ohh right

Forgot about that lol

[little swift]

pretty much just toss it or blend it

[gloomy mortar]

Desynth it

[tacit atlas]

Yes just sell it

That too

[gilded crypt]

i forgot about desynth

[tacit atlas]

Probably better to desinth it

[gilded crypt]

thanks

[gloomy mortar]

no problem 👍

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[junior yacht]

it's a typical dungeon

[keen fable]

aight

[junior yacht]

15-30 minutes, depending

although there is a trial immediately afterwards

[keen fable]

cool cool, just wanted to make sure

like, with the same group

or another duty finder

[ripe hound]

Are there pvp stuff in The Balance?

[junior yacht]

it's an 8-man, so you have to re-queue

[keen fable]

kk

[prisma mirage]

[keen fable]

is there an easier way to gear up past that

other than the crafted gear

[glad comet]

puppets bunker

[keen fable]

this is expensive

[glad comet]

1 gear per week

allegory

crystarium

[ripe hound]

I would recommend if you don't want to spend gil, just farm Eden Normal for 480, then Puppet once a week for 490

[keen fable]

what ilevel do i need for eden norm

[twilit arch]

once you hit 80, use phanta to buy some piece of deepshadow/unlock eden to get to eden verse to get 480

455 for verse

[ripe hound]

455

[twilit arch]

gate needs 425

[ripe hound]

Also Hunts gives 460 I think?

[keen fable]

so, hit 80, then buy a singular piece of gear, then um

[ripe hound]

Or was it 440?

[keen fable]

im confused

[ripe hound]

Or just complete MSQ then work on Eden storyline

But yeah there are a lot of ways to gear up

[keen fable]

so the eden storyline will get me caught up enough to start farming gear?

[twilit arch]

ronkan is 440, but personally unless you've got a stockpile of nuts

i would skip that complete and focus on getting a few pieces of deepshadow

[limber kindle]

Hey, so can anyone tell me how I go about getting a bigger house? I know the question seems stupid, but I mean, I have a small residence now, and the bigger ones are gonna drop soon. Do I have to sell my current one before I can buy the other? Cause that could suck if I can't secure one when the new ones drop.

[twilit arch]

to boost ilvl to work thru eden to get 480

and also start nier and use that to get to puppet

no, do not sell your house

you can simply relocate when servers come up

[limber kindle]

to a bigger?

[twilit arch]

Yes

[limber kindle]

O_O

[ripe hound]

Oh my

[limber kindle]

And it just costs the difference between the two plots?

or..

[twilit arch]

(Cost of Relocation) = (Destination Plot Price) – (30% of Old Plot Price)

[limber kindle]

Oooh

Sankyu! ❤️

[ripe hound]

2 of the Tanks have Invul in PVP and 2 don't right?

Yeah I think GNB is basically just DPS with weaponthrow

[whole thunder]

Is there a discord server where I can find out when the Tempest fate chain will reset? I want that frog suit

[wintry chasm]

(Cost of Relocation) = (Destination Plot Price) – (30% of Old Plot Price)
30% of the MIMIMUM possible cost of the old plot @limber kindle

[vocal shell]

What does ranged float in E8S mean

[tacit atlas]

@whole thunder there are a bunch of hunt servers that will ping you when they are up

[wintry chasm]

Ranged float....
Any context?

[tacit atlas]

Like the centurio hunts one

In my experience that means that they don't have a set place

But I haven't done any savages synced

So it's probably a completely different thing

[wintry chasm]

I certainly can't think of another meaning of "float" but honestly everyone pretty much needs to be in a specific place in pretty much every mechanic

[vocal shell]

Pf listings dont specify

and i dont know what mech specifically

Ty anyways

[haughty spade]

how good is mechanist in terms of other dps?

[tacit atlas]

It's the ranged job with best dps currently

I can't really say anything about the other jobs

[wintry chasm]

If you're asking about a meta

There isn't a meta

[rotund sable]

Ranged physical does lower damage than melee and casters but are easier and you need one for the group stat buffs, among the ranged physical it's pretty even

[wintry chasm]

Okay

There isn't a remotely important meta

[tacit atlas]

Oh they meant like best dps

Not higher dps

[static radish]

Does it matter what Data Center I choose?

[tacit atlas]

Hmm

[wintry chasm]

"best DPS" sounds like meta talk

[outer plank]

does wuick synthesis increase the chances of getting hq mats if i use hq materials?

[wintry chasm]

Does it matter what Data Center I choose?
It changes who you can play with and the region so ping reasons

[tacit atlas]

@static radish not really unless you want to be with specific people

Also ping

[wintry chasm]

Also I assume you are talking in terms of NA

in which case Primal and Aether are basically the same thing

Crystal is a bit more RP focused

[static radish]

Cool thanks @wintry chasm

and @tacit atlas

[haughty spade]

was looking for a ranged class to play, not sure what im looking for and I saw a couple vids on all the classes so just wondering. Also now that I think about it im not too sure what I actually meant when I asked whats best

[rotund sable]

Ranged physical dps are all very close

[outer plank]

@haughty spade you dont really have to worry about whose the best dps because chances are, if you can play your class well, no ones gonna turn you away.

[rotund sable]

Mch is very static with no procs or variance, DNC has a dynamic rotation and bars is a slot machine

[outer plank]

ranged have higher uptime

but trade off damage

[rotund sable]

Bard

[lone nacelle]

dnc is coin flip the game

[tacit atlas]

Honestly, just worry about which one you like playing the most

[outer plank]

if you're looking for a job that just straight up does the highest damage period

[rotund sable]

DNC rng isn't too bad because fourfold lets you focus the damage

[tacit atlas]

And you will get naturally better at it most of the time

Usually

[outer plank]

its probably gonna be blm (if optimized), samurai

or summoner

[rigid pecan]

You can also try different classes on the same character, so you're not locked into your choice.

[winged cobalt]

i would say what ranged float is... but it's been atleast 4 months since i cleared E8S...

and i forget

[raw solstice]

it's for WL2

[gleaming mist]

@vocal shell ranged float is having the ranged swap places for the 2nd wyrm’s lament if the debuffs are the same on both sides
