I mean are most of them 80 they can carry you
manic schooner
i mean ultima pretty easily beatable rght?
fast hull
yest as long as they are level 80
fast hull
yeah thats unsych
jade quartz
yeah
manic schooner
wow didnt know PF cud be this helpfullol
fast hull
if you are level 80
manic schooner
just a QQ: when i check undersized pt in DF, will i also be matched to more players when queueing since unsync seems to contain a larger range of interested players
twilit arch
no
you go in with whatever party you are currently in
so if you have no party, you go in solo
jade quartz
that's why it's called "undersized" party
radiant brook
can you only have one retainer at a small home?
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
radiant brook
:(
plain python
you have 2 retainers by default, and more with housing and monthly retainer rent?
twilit arch
housing doesnt give you more retainers
little swift
housing just lets you put your retainer on your lawn
fair mango
im trying to my sasukes blades zeta in the glamor dresser but it just wont show up
what the heck
is it not possible
crisp ether
generally doing each roulette once for the daily bonus is good, after that not really
twilit arch
no, you should only be doing the roulette once a day, after that queue for highest lvel dungeon (barring 50/60/70, do the previous lv dungeon)
zinc orbitBOT
manic schooner
hey guys regarding these quests, do the target items automatically drop upon completion of the raids?
little swift
Yes its on completion
It goes into your key items
Its a repeatable quest so you can skip it
If you want
idle plover
So not sure if I need to post this here but I am at the quest for ultima weapon and would like to form a party to do it
scarlet sandal
what lv did lillys start on whm?
manic schooner
Its a repeatable quest so you can skip it
@little swift i see, i heard you can trade these items for some goodies. what kinda goodies are those? are they good?
patent citrus
which tank is closest to gunbreaker?
and which healer is the closest to scholar?
each class seems pretty unique in terms of gameplay
scarlet sandal
the cloest to gunbreaker is gunbreaker
Each job stands out pretty well on its own identity
patent citrus
aaaa ok
little swift
@manic schooner you get the allagan catalyst or aether oil iirc. There's easier ways of obtaining those if you ever needed them but otheriwse thats all for the quest
patent citrus
yeah, ty ty
manic schooner
ok thanks

hybrid bramble
I plan to farm a relic, and this guide says "Complete all Class Quests & Job Quests for your chosen job." So far, I only have BLM maxed, and i don't have lvl 80 BLM quest unlocked, and i can't unlock lvl 80 BLM quest until I beat end-game. So that means I can't farm a relic until i beat end game?
honest anvil
Each expansion has its own relic weapons
hybrid bramble
Basically I have to get ARR relic first and then HW relic and so forth?
open rivet
you do the old relics only for glamour, or the achievements
fast hull
but if you have the zeta(Arr) relics, its easier to make lux relics (HW)
hybrid bramble
I only want to get ShB relics because i thought it will provide better stats
twilit arch
then only do the shb
dim smelt
Is shadowbringers trials part of daily roulette?
twilit arch
Yes, they're in trial roulette
dim smelt
Lucky you on your server then
scarlet sandal
i mean it is nearly 2am
scarlet sandal
isee
twilit arch
make sure you have J enabled then in your duty finder settings
dim smelt
I do
fast hull
what happens if I enable all language settings, will it make it faster?
dim smelt
Yeah
twilit arch
it can potentially, though on NA E is the main one to have enabled
zinc orbitBOT
woeful grotto
sooo going through the story, i got to my first dungeon in Sastasha. Do i really have to wait for a full party to be able to do the dungeon?
jade quartz
that's pretty good
woeful grotto
kk thanks man
manic schooner
you might wanna try PF if DF takes too long. learnt that from the guys here
jade quartz
That shouldn't be necessary for MSQ stuff
woeful grotto
hey man im new at ffxiv. what does all of that mean? lol
jade quartz
DF = Duty Finder, the window you go through to queue for dungeons etc.
PF = Party Finder, a window where you can post party recruitment ads for stuff and people can join.
woeful grotto
where exactly is party finder? tried looking under duty and social but i couldn't see it
twilit arch
you have to do sastasha before party finder is unlocked
woeful grotto
ooh makes sense
twilit arch
but basically its lets you post a listing for a group for whatever you want to do
jade quartz
You shouldn't be looking to the party finder for doing normal MSQ duties.
unless it's unusual case where you get like a 45+ minute queue
twilit arch
like if you wanna run a particular dungeon or just fine friends, can make a party finder for it. But like lyon said, for the most part you won't need to use it
generally people use it for finding groups to do extreme trials or savage raids (mostly end-game related stuff)
severe tusk
The new ever skyward quest is repeating correct? Once you finish one tool you move on to the next?
exotic ridge
Sleep Now in Sapphire quest. I get to the end but cant seem to keep enough MP to finish it, any ideas how to get more back for the rush at the end? killing lil robots etc just drains it
zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
@severe tusk yes, you can do the upgrade process for all the tools.
patent citrus
do you think i should do duty roulette as my non-80 level char so i can farm poetics?
or do i get the same amount of poetics as lv 80?
or do i receive phantasmgoria instead?
obsidian patio
Phanta get added on, they don’t replace the poetics
patent citrus
ok ty ty
honest anvil
can you buy stuff back from calamity salvage infinitely?
slate arrow
yes
honest anvil
cool cool. Thought so but wanted to make sure. Tks
leaden ginkgo
is it worth it doing dungeons early on?
patent citrus
what's your plan?
slate arrow
only if you're behind on EXP for the MSQ
leaden ginkgo
focus on getting to level caps, 50, 60, 70 you get catch up gear for poetics at each tier
MSQ is main story quest?
slate arrow
yes
leaden ginkgo
ok
ironworks shire and scaevan respectivly
im trying to help a friend get some crafting gear (cuz hes like lvl 70 using lvl 10 gear), I have a lvl 80 LTW but theres so many pieces of gear im not sure what to make for him
slate arrow
What job?
leaden ginkgo
dont all crafters use the same gear?
slate arrow
oh
well, should get to level 71 first so you can make the level 71 set which is much easier to gather/craft for than the 70 stuff
leaden ginkgo
so pixie cotton set is the cheapest to get
slate arrow
and you'll have to help them get the handkings stuff unless you're willing to grind out an onishi set of accessories
leaden ginkgo
hes leveling pretty fast so i dont want to get a full set for him until 80 since that old gear will be useless
hes just having trouble getting some stuff HQ for turn ins
slate arrow
What is his current gear?
hot eagle
should probably do custom deliveries for easy yellow scrips and get the lvl70 scrip gear should be easy and fast
slate arrow
It sounds like left side is mostly up to par, it's the right side which is massively under level
leaden ginkgo
i dont know but his craftsmanship is too low to craft lvl 70 stuff
leaden ginkgo
yeah exactly
also im having trouble figuring out how to filter this menu
is there a way to sort, DoL/DoH
in the crafting log
slate arrow
not really due to non-standard gear names
no "of crafting" or "of gathering" half the time
leaden ginkgo
jeez it really feels like a whole mess
any website that might make this easier
database
slate arrow
teamcraft
leaden ginkgo
ooh lets see
slate arrow
oblique sequoia
hey i just got to my first alliance raid, does queue usually take 20+ minutes?
slate arrow
should go for the level 63 set, get him collectible materials, and have him buy the handking set
leaden ginkgo
at this time yeah sipz
slate arrow
@oblique sequoia if you're only queueing for English on a JP server, yes
patent citrus
@oblique sequoia try to enable all language, you are playing in JP server
oblique sequoia
yea i just read someone saying to do that so i just enabled it
patent citrus
assuming you haven't done it 😂
patent citrus
tbh as a crafter i used gyuki stuffs to do yellow scrips and switched to landking 😂
oblique sequoia
what time would the most people usually be on?
slate arrow
just slap that into teamcraft and it'll spit out a list for easy gathering
jade quartz
In the evening after they're home from work or study, sipz
slate arrow
and then help with gathering collectible materials for the handking set
jade quartz
So from like 6pm to 1am in the local area
slate arrow
once there, it's smooth sailing to 80
leaden ginkgo
is there a way to get the website to show me the entire gyuki set at once
or do i have to search each piece 1 by 1
oblique sequoia
@jade quartz aight thanks , ill look up the time differences to me
jade quartz
JP servers have large SEA and Oceania playerbases
patent citrus
peak time should be now, that's when you should start queueing for the pvp dr
leaden ginkgo
could i dm u for a sec @slate arrow
oblique sequoia
ill try and queue then with the other language settings
slate arrow
no, here is fine
leaden ginkgo
i dont see contents
slate arrow
jade quartz
yeah always have E and J on in DF settings on JP servers
slate arrow
I was assuming you were using the link provided in the reddit post I submitted mb
oblique sequoia
do you have to do all of the crystal tower quests in order to continue the story?
jade quartz
yes
oblique sequoia
ah okay ill just wait for people to get in this raid
jade quartz
Queues should be relatively fast.
The Crystal Tower raids are done often, and it's peak time in Japan.
oblique sequoia
i seem to have more people now with the language settings , thanks for the advice
potent lava
So im guessing the warring triad bosses are diffcult to get people for pickup, like arr primals ex
jade quartz
Not like ARR primals EX.
The Warring Triad are in the Trials Roulette.
You will get a queue for them, though it may be long.
best in peak hours.
potent lava
But do they need as coordinated a group as those?
jade quartz
no
jade quartz
The Warring Triad have their own separate EX versions
oblique sequoia
do you yall think dancer is an alright job to play?
jade quartz
like all trials from 50 onward
patent citrus
but when i did my normal sophia, the queue was fast
potent lava
Ah ok, thats good to hear
oblique sequoia
okay thank you
magic wren
I’ve been playing ARR for going on 3 weeks now, are all the other expansions this long? 🤔
patent citrus
took me 2 months for ARR
magic wren
Geez
agile laurel
There is a comparison of expansion lengths
patent citrus
but it varies for each person i think x_x
agile laurel
and ARR didn't take me that long by far lol
meager pilot
Does anyone know if at any point, any of the old relic weapons or replicas are storable in the armoire? or are they all dresser only?
agile laurel
idk if its in faq now
Bear in mind ARR has been pruned considerably in the recent patch
It's had like a third+ knocked off
magic wren
Ohh I see.
agile laurel
and Shadowbringers is ongoing, obviously
potent lava
Also some of the post arr quest are designed a little less.... back and forth-ey, so they should flow better
magic wren
I had to choose another job because my PLD was reaching 60 and I have the online edition so once I reach 60 I can’t level anymore. So I made another job level 50 (BLM) and he’s already at 52 and I’m still playing ARR lol
agile laurel
Yeah
honest anvil
road to 70 is strong
magic wren
I’m at a preferred world too with exp boosts
agile laurel
HW looks shorter but that's cause they spin a bit more narrative
I think ARR was beholden to some can-only-take-9-mins-each guideline
potent lava
Thats fair
I was on mythe third class when I finished arr
magic wren
Ah I see. Is there more voice acting in Hw?
glossy flare
Much more
magic wren
@potent lava thanks that makes me feel better lol
glossy flare
And better voice actors too, they switched most of them at that point
agile laurel
broadly. There is much more, but not significant content isn't VAd
Like not EVERYTHING is
patent citrus
oh my friend, much muchhh better
oblique sequoia
what is ARR?
magic wren
Dang really? Lol
patent citrus
i rather listen to JP
agile laurel
Yeah every single VA got changed in HW
magic wren
Why?
agile laurel
God bless Yorkshire accent raubahn
glossy flare
Back in ARR they didn't have the budget for super good voice acting. So even if they got some good actors they didn't have the time to deliver a superb job
But when HW came around the game was going strong
So they switched studios entirely
patent citrus
on the contrary, I think they cut the budget for HW
since all of the ARR VA are taken from people who voice DUB anime
imagine that
magic wren
I will say Nabriles (or however you spell his name) when he said nooooooo was pretty lame lmao
glossy flare
I mean, it is an expansion and not a game from scratch so the budget was probably not as big as for ARR
patent citrus
almost like they don't know Anime DUB has soooo bad reputation
agile laurel
they stay the same from HW onwards, except for a couple of very extenuating circumstances
glossy flare
Bottom line is that voice acting improves considerably by HW
magic wren
Alphinaud changes too?
agile laurel
Yep
glossy flare
yeah
agile laurel
Alphinaud was a bit of a change but it grew on me considerably
magic wren
Urianger?!
agile laurel
Yes but not a change-of-character way
glossy flare
Nothing against the ARR Alphi voice actor btw, Taliesin Jaffe does some good work in other places
magic wren
Ah okay lol
glossy flare
I just have no idea why they cast him for this boy role
His voice js better when it's deeper
oh wait no, Alphi was Sam Riegel
agile laurel
Plus whoever does alphi post ARR does emotions better
magic wren
So wait when HW first came out did they mention they were making those changes
agile laurel
Mind you, Alphinaud in arr has a single emotion and that's smug
magic wren
True
glossy flare
That's the only emotion Sam Riegel has too
patent citrus
well if you watch DUBed anime
that's the kind of performance you are expecting in ARR really
🤦♂️
magic wren
😂
agile laurel
Urianger in arr also shares a voice actor with Lor'themar Theron in WoW and I did like that
zinc orbitBOT
agile laurel
But yeah the HW va change is a bit of a hit
Especially because as you come at it now, it just goes seamlessly from one quest into the start of HW
magic wren
Well, that’s good. I can’t wait to start that storyline. I’ve heard great things about it.
agile laurel
Generally people concur HW is either the best or second best narratively
Followed/beaten by Shadowbringers, and Stormblood kinda gets a raw deal
magic wren
Yeah I heard about storm blood being eh
agile laurel
Not because stormblood is actually bad (except for the bits where it sort of was), but more just because the others are better
leaden ginkgo
whats the best way to level alt job from 25 to 30 ?

agile laurel
what is the tag
leaden ginkgo
thx
agile laurel
Oh ffs
glossy flare
😄
agile laurel
I was so close
magic wren
That’s what I did at that level and I would level up 3-4 times I am in a preferred world though
honest anvil
just spam dungeon at any level
hasty swift
Tank or healer = spam dungeons. DPS is probably deep dungeons or better, command missions if you unlocked that
@leaden ginkgo
oblique sequoia
what is a hunt?
leaden ginkgo
hm?
glossy flare
Hunts are daily or weekly monsters you have to kill
Like a bounty hunt
You pick up a bill at a hunting board and then go and kill whatever it tells you to kill
oblique sequoia
andddd where would one find a hunting board
glossy flare
In any GC headquarters
However you have to be second lieutenant or higher to unlock it
oblique sequoia
ah okay thanks
glossy flare
The expansions have their own hunting boards in Ishgard, Kugane and the Crystarium
But to unlock those you have to unlock all the prior ones first
glossy flare
post ARR is indeed a bit slow in places
But once you get to Heavensward a lot of things will get better
oblique sequoia
is heavensward the like lvl 60 stuff?
glossy flare
lvl 50-60 yeah
Though you're most likely above lvl 50 before ever getting your first heavensward quest
oblique sequoia
i think ive leveled up like 5 times in the last 70 quests
glossy flare
Yeah, that's normal
leaden ginkgo
i cant enter potd cuz it says your ger does not meet min strength req. what do i need to do ?
glossy flare
There are just more MSQ quests than you would ever need in terms of xp basically
Certain floors of potd require certain aetherpool levels
So you probably lack that
oblique sequoia
i think im almost to ishgard anyways im just gonna change my main once i get there
glossy flare
Yeah, I levelled two jobs to 80 mainly by doing the MSQ eventually
leaden ginkgo
how do i upgrade aetherpool level?
glossy flare
So that's totally viable
You find that as loot in potd
Gotta open some chests in earlier levels
leaden ginkgo
can i re run eearlier level?
glossy flare
yup
leaden ginkgo
how?
glossy flare
should be an option at the npc
leaden ginkgo
no it just says etner
glossy flare
Can't tell exactly because it's been a while since I did some potd
I'm sure you can set the floor somewhere before entering
leaden ginkgo
do i have to reset?
glossy flare
You could but I don't recommend it
You could also just start another job in the second save slot since aetherpool strength is shared
hot rock
hey cypher 😛 i also got a need to add to my yesterdays questions in the games current state before one reaches the end of pve i mean has everything from latest stuff how long time will have passed from when he begun the game ?
for instance 1 starts now
hot rock
of everything
story/gameplay stuff
everything the game has to offer
but not crafting
glossy flare
Okay so you want to know how much gameplay time there is for you?
hot rock
in general for the average player yes
i wont be able to play for lots of hours everyday
glossy flare
I mean I would have to guess tbh
But maybe something between 80 and 100 hours until you finish the ShB story?
hot rock
soo if u add pve stuff
glossy flare
Story is pve
hot rock
raiding/dungeons.quests
glossy flare
It also obviously depends on your queue times and such
hot rock
soo one will need like around 4 months to get everything ?
glossy flare
That depends on how much you play regularly so... I dunno?
Again, I'm just guessing here
hot rock
shb alone how much content it has ? for like a month ?
glossy flare
My recommendation would be to not pay attention to such things and to just play the game
I did ShB in about a week but I had that week off
So I dunno
Again, it depends on how much time you play per day
hot rock
well im a bit of a nit picker haha btw
something other iw as wondering about pvp
to get everything u need like 300 wins or soo
the average player how much can he do in like a week ?
glossy flare
Uhm... again, no easy answer to that
open rivet
it's entirely up to how many people queue for frontline
rn you might get 2 rounds a day
glossy flare
Depends on your definition of average, your playtime per day, the queue times for pvp
alpine heath
Hey, small question, is the last expansion released still Shadowbringers? And if so, is there any news/leakes about an upcoming one?
glossy flare
Yes and no
alpine heath
Okay thanks!
jade quartz
There will be an expansion released next year as per usual
glossy flare
^
alpine heath
@open rivet I got 7 frontlines in a day, EU server
glossy flare
But no info what content it might have
jade quartz
delayed a bit due to covid pushing the whole development pipeline back
alpine heath
@jade quartz I see, okay thanks
hot rock
sooo if one is lucky
jade quartz
so probably like September or something
glossy flare
Lots of speculation of course but that's neither here nor there
hot rock
in 10 days he can get around 40 ? 0_0
leaden ginkgo
is there a mohawk hair style in game?
open rivet
@hot rock also, if you're looking at PvP achievements...
have fun w/ the 1k Wins achievements per Role in the Feast
hot rock
i just need the armors and mounts haha
glossy flare
@leaden ginkgo
hot rock
sexy
glossy flare
That is the closest you are going to get afaik
leaden ginkgo
oh fun
yeah I've got some armor that covers my face but I wanted to like spike the hair up a bit
jade quartz
Male Elezen and Lalafell have this one
glossy flare
Oh duh, totally forgot about that
leaden ginkgo
okay that's got to be a midlander only hairstyle
because I don't see it on my highlander hyur at all
jade quartz
Highlanders don't have it, no
leaden ginkgo
well there we go, thanks anyways
jade quartz
and there aren't any unlockable hairs which are mohawk-like
this one is fluffed-up I guess
leaden ginkgo
and it's like a million bajillion gil atm
jade quartz
or do Bozja
open coral
It's like... 50? clusters from Bozja, isn't it?

I thought only the mount was 180
open coral
Well, I almost remembered it right 😄
manic schooner
hey guys finally reached 2nd storm lietunant but the officer says i cant get promoted anymore -- if so how do ppl reach the last rank?
jade quartz
You must rank up your Squadron.
leaden ginkgo
is there any way to preview that hair on my character?
open coral
You have to do 5 or 10 command missions with your squadron, then clear a level 50 flagged mission.
jade quartz
You'll be able to unlock it from a 
nearby if you haven't
Via squadrons you can rank up to Captain.
Captain is the max rank.
The ranks visible above that on the GC ranking window aren't available to players.
open coral
Yet
manic schooner
Ohhh. hmm yea i already got appointed a squadron -- however i cant seem to do anything with them
it says i have to recruit more?
but i already have 3 by default
open coral
You recruit more by completing challenges in your challenge log
manic schooner
oh the weekly thing?
open coral
Interact with the papers on the desk in your barracks to see any new recruits. You can have up to 8 and require at least 4 to send them on missions.
manic schooner
ahh i see, so it requires at least 4.. makes sense. ok thanks
simple pine
you get more recruits by completing items in your weekly challenge log
manic schooner
yea, i always forget that log lol
open coral
At minimum you should be clearing at least three of the challenges every week by default - complete 5 dungeons, complete 3 dungeons via roulette, and commend 5 players.
All three can be done simultaneously.
Also if you always have your chocobo out, you can pretty easily clear at least "kill 20 enemies with your chocobo companion" which gives xp to your chocobo (there's also "kill 200 enemies with your chocobo companion", but that's harder to get just doing normal stuff unless you're doing FATEs)
manic schooner
At minimum you should be clearing at least three of the challenges every week by default - complete 5 dungeons, complete 3 dungeons via roulette, and commend 5 players.
@open coral this. the last one. i always forget to commend players lol. ran over 20 dungeons this week but commended 0 xD
gtta make it a habit
open coral
I always commend 5 players every week. It's a bit of xp for whatever job I'm leveling, and a bit of gil too so I can maybe, eventually, buy a house when they finally make enough wards for everyone to own a house.
simple pine
when they finally make enough wards for everyone to own a house.
hahahaha good one
open coral
You have to obtain 12 Ixion horns by completing the special event FATE "A Horse of a Different Color" in The Lochs.
simple pine
it's from a special fate that spawns rarely, but it is also given in some events
open coral
The horns can then be traded in to the special items vendor in Rhalgar's Reach
lone nacelle
where do i collect the yokai mounts? I obtained all 13 minions...
open coral
The FATE, however, has a minimum spawn time of 3 days.
pliant wind
Where can I find the thing to do Bozja?
open coral
@lone nacelle Speak to the achievement guy in Gridania
manic schooner
oh special fate.. that sounds like something new players cant get lol
simple pine
anyone can join any fate you just go there and whack the mobs, no need to join a party even
manic schooner
well i guess i just hve to wait when that event happens again
open coral
New players can, as long as you're not free trial. However it has a minimum spawn time of 3 days.

cedar compass
Do all the crafters have the same set of skills?
open coral
In that, it can sometimes be helpful to join Hunt linkshells on your server.
simple pine
yes
rich bay
@manic schooner
It is actually a World Boss Fate, a high tier fate that syncs to a high level. The Ixion fate is in the final SB area.
open coral
Since they're the most likely to notice/know when it last spawned
manic schooner
@manic schooner
It is actually a World Boss Fate, a high tier fate that syncs to a high level. The Ixion fate is in the final SB area.
@rich bay ohhh wow, didnt know theres such thing as sync-up!
Whats SB again?
open coral
Yes, it's a level 70 FATE
It doesn't sync up though
Stormblood - the expansion between Heavensward and Shadowbringers
rich bay
Yep, it syncs to 80.
The ARR and HW ones sync to 70
shut kelp
so what does Haste do?
manic schooner
i see, alright thanks
shut kelp
in Bozja
rich bay
Haste = Lower GCD
open coral
To be clear, if you are under level 70, your level will not sync upwards.
shut kelp
ahhhhh
open coral
The only content where your level will sync upwards currently is Bozja
manic schooner
To be clear, if you are under level 70, your level will not sync upwards.
@open coral ohhh lol. thats exactly what i was thinking. thanks for claryfying
glossy flare
No, the deep dungeons do that too
rich bay
Yep, a force sync to L80@i430 in Bozja
glossy flare
Though you gotta earn it in the deep dungeons
manic schooner
The only content where your level will sync upwards currently is Bozja
@open coral yea i commonly hear that limited event. but sounds like its for endgame players so im skipping it for now
glossy flare
But it still syncs you upwards
coarse tapir
Hey when do you get an email from square enix support from filling out the “Contact us” form they give you for help
shut kelp
inside only Bozja or outside as well?
simple pine
bozja is not a limited event, it will be available forever
shut kelp
for lower GCD?
rich bay
Deep dungeons don't force sync, they use an apart gear system
patent citrus
bozja isn't a limited event
manic schooner
ohhhh i see, sounds good then, i can do it anytime later on
agile laurel
i expect it's however much sks/sps materia you can fit
glossy flare
even though doing all the relic steps outside of Bozja is way faster right now
rich bay
@coarse tapir
Depends on what you used and what the reason was, not usually not more then an hour.
(Can be up to 72 hours.)
manic schooner
damn FFXIV has SO MUCH to do lol. i constantly get confused what to prioritize
agile laurel
unlike wow
manic schooner
ill guess ill focus on MSQ for now
glossy flare
Yeah, going too fast means you lose windows to weave oGCDs
So you gotta be smart about it
agile laurel
yep. And some abilities with longer cooldowns that scale off your sks/sps will disjoint from your cooldowns
rich bay
@shut kelp
Only limited by the gear you can equip
glossy flare
In fact in most cases you wanna go as slow as possible while still hitting 2 oGCDs between GCDs
rich bay
Only BLM use SpS afaik
raw solstice
haste specifically, there's not too much you're going to get on gear. If you pair it with sks/sps and job mechanics you might be able to get down to min GCD which is 1.5s
various jobs use sps/sks to a certain tier
but BLM is the only one that especially stacks it past that
agile laurel
because ffxiv has much more of a focus on alignment of raid CDs than wow, going too fast and misaligning your cooldowns is much more crippling
glossy flare
BLM cast times be crazy
manic schooner
unlike wow
@agile laurel hahaha im actually a 5-year long WoW player. and yea it feels like theres definitely more to do here. my only biggest complaint is PVP -- FFXIV pales in comparison to WOW's
latent flume
Hello, is there a way to use another app for the OTP instead of the SE official one?
agile laurel
yeah, ffxiv people don't really play pvp and devs respond in kind by not really giving it any love
coarse tapir
Also i keep getting this message from logging in and it’s been 6 hours since the restriction was set in place
shut kelp
its weird cause this is the first time I have seen haste
shut kelp
is it new?
patent citrus
😂
agile laurel
Haste in WoW is the equivalent of sks/sps
Haste in FFXIV is base GCD reduction
Seperate from sks/sps and usually a gimmick thing
glossy flare
I think the effect "haste" is unique to deep dungeons
shut kelp
is it better than Sks/sps?
agile laurel
it's not something you get on gear
glossy flare
it's the same thing
agile laurel
only eureka gear
raw solstice
it's not sks/sps, strictly
agile laurel
Same ends different means
raw solstice
since it doesn't affect DoT multiplier
agile laurel
potato potato
raw solstice
it's only eureka and bozja for gear, and only works in those instances. It's a buff in a few random instances along the way too
but it's not a persistent mechanic you really run into everywhere
shut kelp
I see
glossy flare
Honestly, you don't wanna grind the Bozja gear anyway (unless for the glam)
rich bay
I know Bozja gear als has it.
glossy flare
Crystarium gear is easier to get and better
shut kelp
yeah, i was just curious
agile laurel
Augmented bozja gear has +stats in bozja tho
rich bay
Bozja gear is i495
agile laurel
That's the appeal
glossy flare
True
shut kelp
the gear looks great
glossy flare
It does, i do want that tank glam
shut kelp
True
agile laurel
This is a catchup patch so i495 shouldn't really be tempting for the effort CLL is
glossy flare
I mean even if you do not engage in savage content, Crystarium gear is still better
Obviously Edenchoir fills a lot of BiS slots
shut kelp
hopefully I can get all jobs to level 80 before 5.4 currently have 15 jobs at least level 61
glossy flare
Well at that point there will be new gear too, sooo 😅
shut kelp
yeah haha
glossy flare
Since 5.4 has the new raid tier, presumably
faint flare
Yes
shut kelp
oh ya, edens creation
faint flare
Edens promise
shut kelp
ah promise
glossy flare
And with the new raid tier things will probably jump to ilvl 530
manic schooner
guys my dungeon finder now seems to have 2 sections now -- Trials and High-end Trials. Is this High-end thing where TEA is gonna belong to the future?
jade quartz
The High-End Duties tab of the Duty Finder is where the current extreme trials, savage tier and ultimate go.
simple pine
high end is the extreme and savage runs from current content, which is shadowbringers currently
jade quartz
The High-End Trials section of the Regular Duties > Trials tab is just past extreme trials
manic schooner
oh cant seem to accss that, is it any of these greyed out icons?
AHhhhh the top one
ohhh i cant click high end duty yet hahaha
is it accessible only @ like lvl 80?
glossy flare
Yeah, gotta unlock one to get there
manic schooner
ok thanks
glossy flare
Like current savage tier for example
patent citrus
yeah take your time, you'll get there hehe
manic schooner
i see.. how long does it usually take for a newplayer like me to be viable for TEA?
jade quartz
um
open coral
That's kind of difficult to quantify
manic schooner
i just started 2 weeks ago
potent lava
does clearing out out fates help you get the right fate you want (for beast tribe)
jade quartz
yeah that's hard to answer
potent lava
or should i just camp the spot
patent citrus
varies to each person x_x
open coral
As someone who has been playing for 6 years, I still don't feel ready for TEA
glossy flare
Just focus on the MSQ for now
jade quartz
sorta depends on your aptitude for picking up the game mechanics and how to play your job
patent citrus
like it took me 6 months to finish all the msq/unlock content
open coral
There is no rough answer
manic schooner
10 on weekensd
jade quartz
like I can't even give a rough answer usually
manic schooner
As someone who has been playing for 6 years, I still don't feel ready for TEA
@open coral what srsly?
jade quartz
it's totally up to your dedication and playstyle
open coral
Yes, seriously
jade quartz
I've also been playing about 6 years
simple pine
there is like 200 hours of MSQ, then there is like 50-100 Hours of clearing current savage content and getting good enough parses to be accepted into ultimate groups. super rough numbers ofc
jade quartz
I haven't set foot in TEA
glossy flare
It's more like: Finish the story, get comfortable with Extremes, get comfortable with savage, despair at TEA
TEA is no joke
jade quartz
it's a big time and effort investment
open coral
TEA is something you do with a static team and spend a LOT of time preparing with that team for.
manic schooner
wow... that sounds super challenging
glossy flare
Rule of thumb says ultimates take 100+ hours to prog
jade quartz
Then learning and progressing TEA itself is 100+ hours
manic schooner
makes me wonder tho -- isnt raids just as simple as avoiding area indicators on the ground and hit the boss back in the face?
open coral
If you want to do TEA, you'll need to farm out the BiS gear for that content, find 7 other people to work on it with, and have all of you be at the absolute top of your game.
glossy flare
I mean if you wanna simplify it, yes
Though figuring out how to avoid them is another deal
jade quartz
You could reduce anything to such simple terms if you wanted
actually executing is another matter
open coral
Most raids, sure. But like... look up videos of WoL EX or E8S.
It's not as simple as it seems on paper.
manic schooner
i see, now im super intrigued
simple pine
you dont need to just avoid stuff, you need to avoid it by moving to the right positions otherwise you usually wipe or die, which is mostly a memorizing/learning thing
plucky ether
I mean if the tank does there's no avoiding the boss
open coral
There's always a lot of things going on to consider, and often very little time to react to mechanics that will absolutely destroy an unprepared party.
manic schooner
I mean if the tank does there's no avoiding the boss
@plucky ether but dont white mages have auto-life in here like most FF games?
jade quartz
no
open coral
Also the Ultimates (UWU, TEA, etc.) sync ilevel as well as level. You can't do them unsynced, and your ilevel is minimum ilevel for that content.
Auto-Life would be way too broken lol
jade quartz
so here's what I'd call an easy extreme fight guide
this is like the easy basic baseline of endgame "hard" fights
glossy flare
yet too many people fail the damn thing
patent citrus
do that with minimum ilvl 😂
jade quartz
E7S and E8S are a few orders of magnitude harder than that ^
and then Ultimate is several orders of magnitude harder again.
agile laurel
savage varies in its difficulty
jade quartz
and much longer.
jade quartz
Yeah the first two fights of a tier are commonly about EX difficulty
agile laurel
so it doesn't actually NEED to be, uh, 'attainable' by the standards of most people
plucky ether
For A Relic Reborn is a "materia-enhanced erudite's picatrix of casting" a specific weapon or is it just any summoner weapon?
open coral
The Erudite's Picatrix of Casting is the name of a specific weapon.
plucky ether
Where do I get that then?
open coral
You can find one on the Market Board, probably with the right materia on it too, as long as you're not on free trial.
open coral
Otherwise it can be made with Alchemy
Just make sure to check which materia it needs to be melded with in the quest details.
jade quartz
if you're on the trial you can probably ask someone on the novice nework to help you get one.
young fjord
Trial cant trade?
open coral
Yes, you'll need to level alchemist and probably botanist too to get the mats.
Because the picatrix recipes always require bundles of wood.
coarse tapir
Is it possible to deactivate an account you can’t log in to
open coral
To be clear though, the particular quest which requires the materia-melded weapons is for a glamour weapon. You don't have to complete it to progress in the story.
And the weapon it gives isn't better than anything you can get normally.
Without having to jump through hoops
agile laurel
and to be fair to them relic weapons are max level content of their time
so never really intended to be in a free trial
infact, most relic weapon quest chains do promote collaboration with others
such as referring to crafters/gatherers or collating information
manic schooner
guys whats the closest Ashes of Al'ar mount equivalent here from WoW? Its always been my favorite
open coral
Probably the Phoenix meta mount?
agile laurel
or the zu if you want scuffed version
manic schooner
whatsthe exact name? lemme google it
open coral
Oh, Firebird
agile laurel
i think it's firebird
warped nest
Phoenix is not a mount.... Yet
open coral
Yet
manic schooner
hole smokes I LIKE IT
agile laurel
give it a year
manic schooner
how fast can i get this?
agile laurel
Depends
open coral
Depends on your luck
warped nest
How fast can you get 7 birds from those 7 HW EX trials
agile laurel
because you need every ex trial birb from HW
manic schooner
how good is your rng
@lone nacelle i got Ashes of Alar in wow in 3 tries. that good enough?
agile laurel
...possibly
open coral
The requirement to get that mount is to collect all 7 of the bird mounts from the HW EX trials.
agile laurel
i mean you probably cashed in on your luck there boss but
manic schooner
hahahaha lol
agile laurel
i know i went 57 clears for sephirot for that damn bird
open coral
I have no idea how many clears I did to get all of my birds. It was... a lot.
I remember Thordan's didn't want to drop like, at all.
manic schooner
How fast can you get 7 birds from those 7 HW EX trials
@warped nest so are those guaranteed drops? or a random chance per HW EX trial?
agile laurel
and then there's fights like ||Knights of the Round|| which, true to form, takes a fucking age
random chance
open coral
And I bought Zurvan's from the moogle tome event.
manic schooner
and THEN party rolls
@agile laurel damn. looks like something everyones gonna roll NEED
agile laurel
yes
warped nest
Random, it is not guranteed
agile laurel
dead correct
agile laurel
uhm
warped nest
We don't know exactly
warped nest
All we know is it is adjusted to be better
agile laurel
not 50% and not invincible
open coral
lol
manic schooner
i see.. sounds good enough
open coral
"Not Invincible"
agile laurel
maybe seeing 3 in 15 clears is vaguely reasonable
not bad since most HW trials take on average about 5 minutes to clear unsynced
open coral
Just be prepared to sit down and run the content a LOT
agile laurel
but be prepared to roll a 2 and watch the dude who got it default dance out of your group instantly
open coral
And maybe get a static group of 4 or 5 friends to come with you to make things go a little faster.
agile laurel
yup
with one or two exceptions you don't really need to know how the mechanics work
open coral
That was how I got mine, actually. My FC decided we were just going to go and grind out the fights to get the mounts.
manic schooner
not bad since most HW trials take on average about 5 minutes to clear unsynced
@agile laurel what it drops unsynced? i may have ready this wrong but undersized is actually no exp, no loot right?
open coral
So we knew everyone would stick around to do the fights even after.
agile laurel
no loot from individual enemies
open coral
It's no mob loot
agile laurel
not from completion
open coral
Chests still happen
manic schooner
agile laurel
'defeating enemies'
open coral
Yes, defeating trash mobs.
manic schooner
ohh wew thats a relief
open coral
Boss chests are still present
agile laurel
iirc only two of 7 HW trials are problem children nowadays, one because its mechanics at the time were designed to just kill you, and that leaves a dent even at current max level
and another because it's s o l o n g
cedar compass
How do i enter copperbell mines as a miner?
supposedly thats where u gather iron ore
open coral
You can't
agile laurel
that's not how it is
open coral
You literally cannot go into a combat instance as a gathering or crafting class.
agile laurel
outside copperbell mines possibly
simple pine
the area on the map is called copperbell mines
tidal yarrow
no dyes this week? possible?
simple pine
so go to the zone they mention in the guide, and zoom in enough on the map where it will show the area names
patent citrus
i've seen people farming the alexander savage to get that legging
hmm what's the rank to unlock all the stories in bojza?
i currently rank 10 and just needed to do castrum
open coral
10 unlocks CLL
patent citrus
ah ok, what can i get from getting more ranks? 🤔
faint flare
Castrum is the final quest
patent citrus
except farming items
faint flare
Able to use the castrum fragments
open coral
^
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
faint flare
Like this
patent citrus
is that for normal content? or only inside cll?
faint flare
Anywhere in bojza
patent citrus
ok
faint flare
But you can only get the fragments in The castrum
The prisoner chests primarily so try to save as many as possible
patent citrus
what lost action should I sue inside, lol
just offensive? 😂
well i'll see later
in CLL i mean
open coral
As a healer I run Protect/Shell
faint flare
In castrum just damage really
Protect/shell arw obvious on someone
Bravery as well
Spellforge and steelsting are good, for first and second boss respectively for a boost on your physical/caster dps
Death for the prisoner executioners
And last boss adds
Otherwise just raw damage
patent citrus
ok 😂 do i get penalty if i die inside as well?
open coral
Yeah. I lost about 5k mettle in CLL last night.
wispy parcel
Yea the biggest issue you can have in castrum is low dps, cause the timer isnt on your side
You can survive a single wipe before the timer runs out
open coral
Just be ready for the dps check for a single party on the last boss.
My party wiped... three times? Total?
onyx kiln
so i have forgotten but did you lose your logo skills you had on your duty bar when leaving eureka?
brave ravine
the augmented Bozja armor's +X to haste is faster cast time, recast time, and overall smaller GCD right?
zinc orbitBOT
patent citrus
hmm but i don't need to finish this quest to get my enhanced relic weapon right?
i mean the CLL
just get both memory to 20 and i can hand in? 🤔
is that how it works?
open coral
I believe so, yes @patent citrus , but I'm still grinding memories myself, so I'm not positive.
open coral
The Bozja questline is not directly linked to the relic questline though.
leaden ginkgo
which Beast Tribes should I farm to level up?
open coral
At 64? You should be farming dungeons, not beast tribes.
patent citrus
I see 🤔 I keep getting this message that i unlocked something for my relic weapon
everytime i finish the blue quest inside bozja
leaden ginkgo
well I am done with all the dailies
patent citrus
so i thought they are related
leaden ginkgo
so I should do dungeons then huh?
patent citrus
well I just wanted to know about the story as well
open coral
@leaden ginkgo Not the roulettes, just specifically queue your highest level dungeon you can.
wispy parcel
Running your highest level dungeon is the most effective way to level
open coral
Which should the the level 63 dungeon.
leaden ginkgo
I see
agile laurel
Running your highest level dungeon is the most effective way to level
but not level cap
level cap dungeons give shite xp
open coral
But not level cap dungeons.
wispy parcel
Oh yea
leaden ginkgo
you mean 50 60 70
agile laurel
so if you're trying to get to 71 from 70, run 69 not 70
leaden ginkgo
yeah got it
open coral
Basically, every odd numbered level, you'll go to the next dungeon.
leaden ginkgo
so with DRK, there's a 5 min queue time
still efficient?
would it be better to queue for both 63 and 61 level dungeons
simple pine
I know it's subjective, but can you rank E1S-E8S by difficulty? With current gear (so i assume 1-4 are slightly easier?)
patent citrus
ow, they aren't ilvl sync? for the past content
simple pine
dont think there is any sync in shb content for now
open coral
@leaden ginkgo It's still efficient.
As long as your actual queue time is under 10m, dungeons are the most efficient way to level.
And the 5m "estimated" queue time is not the actual queue time.
open coral
😄

Hey, does anyone know the name of this OST? https://twitter.com/your_beaver/status/1313855921601175552
open coral
I think that's one of the FFXV tracks. Hang on a sec, let me confirm.
open coral
Yeah, I was right. It's Valse di Fantastica
open coral
Yeah, it was a limited time event.
However there is a good chance that it will be coming around again... probably sometime next year.
They've been rerunning a lot of the previous limited time events - the Yokai Watch event being one of them.
manic schooner
regarding Faded Copies of [Orchestration] items, how do u complete the pieces so u can add it in ur orchestrion?
manic schooner
ohh i see, looks like were forced to do DoL classes lol
open coral
Most of them require ALC 50 or higher.
You could ask someone else to repair them for you.
Or buy them off the MB
manic schooner
ohhhh i see thats handy, thanks
leaden ginkgo
wow that dungeon gave so much exp
that below level 70 armory bonus is awesome
so, the max I can get is 203% right?
open coral
xp buffs?
open coral
The possible max is actually something like 253% (before level 30)
Armory is worth 100% (until level 70, after which it drops to 50%)
Road to 70 is another 100%
leaden ginkgo
oh I don't have road to 70...
open coral
Brand New Ring is a further 30% until level 30.
And then there's the ShB preorder earrings (if you have them) which are worth another 30% until level 70.
And yeah, the FC buff, I always forget about that one, so that's another bit.
Basically, there are a lot of xp buffs you can get.
They stack up a lot.
You can also get the rested xp bonus, which is worth another 100% as long as it lasts.
leaden ginkgo
oh yeah the rested EXP too
that is worth alot
I don't think its efficient to farm without the rested EXP?
wait
o nvm
open coral
I mean, it's worth what it's worth, but it's only good for about 2.5 levels at maximum cap out, which takes about a week to accumulate.
leaden ginkgo
yeah, but 100% is not little XD
open coral
But with so many other sources of xp buffs, it's not really a big deal if you don't have it.
The Armory bonus is the one worth the most.
Since it's permanent.
leaden ginkgo
so if I want to level all jobs, the best way is to level those under level 70 then
then I start 70 to 80 due to armory bonus
BUT
it'd be the same If I am doing the dailies like MSQ and Trial and Alliance Roullete
since those don't depend on Armory Bonus
that about right?
open coral
Your first job to level to max won't benefit from the Armory bonus at all, since that requires that you have a job of higher level.
leaden ginkgo
Yeah I have PLD at 80
open coral
But all bonuses apply to enemies that you kill - including the xp gained from killing trash mobs in MSQ instances, and bosses.
The only thing that your xp bonuses won't apply to are the daily roulette bonuses.
cedar compass
i accepted a levequest quest

Do we know how often castrum spawns after it have failed?

It should spawn every hour or so as long as there are enough people in the instance of R10 or higher.
zenith plaza
Hello! How do I raise the chocobo rank? I just started leveling it, and now I need to get him to rank 2. Thanks!
open coral
To raise your chocobo rank, simply summon it and use it as a combat companion. It will gain xp alongside you
zenith plaza
ah I see, i've been stable training him so far
open coral
This is effective until it reaches rank 10, at which point you will need to use Thavnairian Onions every time it reaches a new rank in order to level it to rank 20.
Stable training is fine, as far as it goes, but it can be expensive and time consuming since you require food for that.
tepid ivy
The most important thing is to do the companion challenges in the challenge log each week
open coral
It's better to simply use it as your combat companion (summoned with Ghysal Greens) and kill mobs around your level.
tepid ivy
Which are just "kill X enemies around your level with your companion" anyways
open coral
Also the weekly challenges to kill 20 and 200 enemies with your chocobo, yes.
zenith plaza
so if I'm sitting at 4000/4000 xp I just need to gain some more exp to make him pass rank 2?
open coral
Yes
zenith plaza
got it, thanks! 🙂
open coral
Stable training will not allow them to actually rank up if they're at max xp
tepid ivy
Yep, just go out and kill something around your level
open coral
for their current rank
cedar compass
Has anyone leveled a gatherer with road to 70 buff?
How long did it take
I might pull my hairs out if I need to keep mining for too long
tepid ivy
Are you burning leves/doing Ishgard?
zinc orbitBOT
cedar compass
Just started doing leves
It's better than random mining
However I had to do the 99 item quest
Carbonated materia
And I wanted to just end my life by the end of it
tepid ivy
The job quests do kinda suck, it cannot be denied
That one was your last "give me 99 of an item" quest for Miner though, so you're past that hurdle
cedar compass
Yeah I just want to level the gatherers to then use retainers to collect stuff
Crafting is at least a bit fun
manic flare
how long does praetorium take, on average?

about 45 minutes
