remote lintel
have you finished stormblood @forest pilot
forest pilot
no im in heavensward
calm phoenix
Is this an A Rank?
remote lintel
yes
forest pilot
why switch. i dont have another lvl 50 class
remote lintel
because its a waste of msq exp when youre way overlevel
calm phoenix
Yes for me, or for Die?
opaque forge
Because you’ll eventually waste EXP.
remote lintel
if you have the dlc samurai and red mage start at 50
@calm phoenix yes that is an a rank
forest pilot
wheres the samurai class
remote lintel
starts in ul'dah

How far does /shout travel? I just shouted the location
remote lintel

i dont have to be in stormblood for samurai right
burnt salmon
Is there any directory for FC advertisements on this discord? Or should I rather resort to in-game shouts from recuriting FCs?
remote lintel

Ah, got it, thanks! Must have missed that one
remote lintel
theres also the community finder on lodestone

I'll ask the early crew cause I may have asked too late last time - anyone know why my Huton gauge isn't showing up unless I have Huton?
My Ninki gauge is there just fine... but Huton..isn't
torn sundial
What’s the fastest hw dungeon to clear?
remote lintel
@oblique trellis can you not reset your hud to default?
calm phoenix
Why does the game randomly lock on when I try to run out of AoE? It REALLY slows me down
oblique trellis
I could.... but I don't want to rearrange it again? It's turned on in HUD
opaque pewter
For light farming anima, do I have to be the class that needs light?
leaden ginkgo
Could be settings under hud, I've never used the simplistic gauge but I know the paper fan thing is just grey without huton
remote lintel
@opaque pewter you need to have the weapon equipped for the final boss soyes
oblique trellis
remote lintel
try turning it simplified then back again
leaden ginkgo
Press triangle on huton gauge? Or whatever toggles visibility with keyboard
oblique trellis
It shows up simplified, but still nothin when I switch back
opaque pewter
@remote lintel What?
remote lintel
what
opaque pewter
What final boss?
leaden ginkgo
Is there a website with a list of every glamour item or gear in the game?
opaque pewter
I'm talking about light farm
remote lintel
oh
oblique trellis
Switched to a default layout, and that didn't fix it either... guess it's just... gone unless I'm using it
remote lintel
its fastest to do one of the alexander savage fights
with a group
but yes you need to be the class
opaque pewter
Okay, ez
leaden ginkgo
That's weird
remote lintel
no
leaden ginkgo
I can't even toggle it's visibility
oblique trellis
The weird thing is, it was there 2 days ago
calm phoenix
Nobody knows why the game randomly locks on to the monster when trying to run out of AoE?
remote lintel
lock onto the boss?
spare plinth
so you have to manually do dots for pulls as bard?
leaden ginkgo
Lock on as in, focuses camera to them or lock on as in starts auto attacks?
hi whats the best way to make use of this gold saucer event i wanna get all the mounts ?
Because if it's the former you're pressing the stick in or you have lock on slotted and you're pressing it
remote lintel
fashion report, chocobo racing
leaden ginkgo
thats it ?
leaden ginkgo
but whats the point of this event ?
like
what do we benefit
Is there any website showing all gear items in the game?
lean yarrow
Do all servers in a data center have the same random events at the same time? Could I go GATE hunting by server surfing?
leaden ginkgo
Is it possible to type emote command with say text in the same line? E.g. run /converse emote with text of conversation typed together
I think so, you just have to type it on the next line
remote lintel
you make a macro
leaden ginkgo
Hmmm. Wouldnt that have only the set text every time?
leaden ginkgo
So it cant be changed on the fly mid conversation.
remote lintel
you could just use a macro that does /converse over and over and just type your text while it runs
leaden ginkgo
Oh.
remote lintel
pretty sure
leaden ginkgo
You can do a looping emote with it?
remote lintel
find out how long /converse runs for
forest pilot
i think its too late for the samurai to level up during heavensward btw
remote lintel
then do /converse <wait.10>
/converse <wait.10>
assuming it runs for 10 seconds
@forest pilot wym
remote lintel
then just level it up a few levels
leaden ginkgo
That's a really good idea. I will look more into setting up custom emotes. Thanks for the help @remote lintel 👍
what's the better pick between DRK and PLD for ultimate content?
remote lintel
the one you like more
calm phoenix
is the title "Goddess of the land" obtained by getting your gatherers up to level 80? I partied up with someone with that title to take down that A mark
remote lintel
lvl 70
glossy flare
I think that's for all gatherers at 70
remote lintel
soul of the land is 80 iirc
glossy flare
yeah
calm phoenix
Is there titles for 50 and 60 as well?
glossy flare
yup
grandmaster of X for 60
the lvl 50 one escapes me right now
probably master if I had to guess
leaden ginkgo
is there a reason to use royal authority over goring blade at level 60?
faint flare
Yes, it does more damage
faint flare
You use 2 royal authority inbetween each goring
leaden ginkgo
I see, it gets more clicky then
glossy flare
Right now you just wanna make sure goring is applied in your FoF window
crimson wind
twice
little swift
you want to apply goring twice every FoF
glossy flare
yeah
crimson wind
^
leaden ginkgo
should I bother applying goring to multi targets?
glossy flare
no, don't bother with it for trash
little swift
so you hit fof before second part of the main combo
crimson wind
Also
proven bay
Anyone know what causes this error?
And how to fix it?
My friend got this issue when he reset his computer and set everything up again
glossy flare
I mean, that is a rather nondescript error message
Ah, probably a driver issue then
update graphics card drivers
leaden ginkgo
thanks for the help on PLD
gleaming mist
you can double dot with goring, but you need a bit of a unique rotation to do so
leaden ginkgo
There is a way to fix it but I can't be bothered I just reboot the game and it's usaully gone for me 
proven bay
Well for him it does. He's tried every quick fix there is, short of messing with drivers
glossy flare
updating drivers isn't really "messing" with them
You should update your drivers regularly
proven bay
Well his drivers are all updated
So he would have to roll back an update or two
Is what I assume anyway
glossy flare
Maybe, but that would be kinda weird
proven bay
Cause there is no driver to update, he made sure to update all of them after he set his computer up
verbal rune
So quick question, if I were to upgrade from the free trial (new player) to the complete edition, would I keep all my progress?
glossy flare
he could try running xiv in directx 9
proven bay
But thanks anyway, we'll see if it works or not
glossy flare
though that's more of a workaround and not a fix
remote lintel
@verbal rune yes
proven bay
Yeah, that's what he's currently doing. And it seems to be alright so far
little swift
wrong person cerb
proven bay
Albeit there has been a slight drop in performance
little swift
So quick question, if I were to upgrade from the free trial (new player) to the complete edition, would I keep all my progress?
@verbal rune yes
verbal rune
Cool
glossy flare
yeah, dx9 is obviously inferior to dx11
So it's a weird issue
You could try your luck in #technology-discussion btw
verbal rune
Who knows, maybe when I'm done with Heavenswards stormblood might go free
glossy flare
People hanging around there might be more suited for that kinda issue
little swift
tech has always been there
little swift
alternatively you can summon hank up here
proven bay
Thanks anyway, I'll for sure poke around there if the issue persists
little swift
and its pretty uncertain whether or not they'll continue making more of the expansions free
woeful nacelle
Is therre a good rough estimation of when the next Bozja content is?
remote lintel
5.4
little swift
so more than 3 months away likely
woeful nacelle
Yeah but when is that patch , Jan?
remote lintel
thought they were adding the baldesion thing in 5.4
zinc orbitBOT
vestal needle
is there any way to not tell the entire server what you are making?
beesides just moving to a deserted place?
remote lintel
not really
ripe hound
Yeah we usually just turn off showing what other people is making
faint flare
People turn off the synthesis message for other people
vestal needle
Whats the point in it?
faint flare
So they dont see what other people make
ripe hound
I think it's just always that way since 2.0
vestal needle
if im trying to sell something, i dont want the entire server to know what im selling
ripe hound
It's just a useless feature they didn't think about removing
Also I'm pretty sure no one really cares
Only people in the same area and near you can see it anyway
faint flare
And if they have the message settings on
ripe hound
Yeah if you stand in Limsa and have the message on, there are just way too many garbage data to find anything worth wile
calm phoenix
What level is the Amalj'aa beast tribe dailies unlocked? I was post level 50 when I unlocked it on my main.
ripe hound
It's much better to just check the market price of every single item in the game one by one
oblique trellis
Huton gauge issue figured out and resolved 😄 Thanks to those that tried to help

How do you understand the ! fr command? It says 'winter soldier' and has jewels of blue but this week's looks like this for me

Ah ok ty
oblique trellis
So is there gear or something with this current event, and if so where do I get it?
faint flare
No gear
glossy flare
an emote from the event quest
faint flare
Just discounted stuff from mgp
oblique trellis
oh, what's the hair or w/e ppl keep asking about?
glossy flare
the rainmaker hairstyle
oblique trellis
yeah that
glossy flare
it's not available right now tho
oblique trellis
where will it be when it is? usual prize person?
glossy flare
right now = probably not over the course of this event
faint flare
Its not gonna be here this year
oblique trellis
oh
glossy flare
Can't speak for future events, that would be pure speculation
coarse elbow
There's a person directly next to the repeatable quest guy once you've done the quest. They have all the gear, though I don't know if any of it is old stuff re-added.
remote lintel
its just discounted versions of the regular prizes
coarse elbow
Ah.
Also, question.
In Bozja, you can get the augmented gear. I assume they plan to add more to bozja... so what's gonna happen if I got augmented gear? Will it become obsolete as new augmented gear will get added?
oblique trellis
the guy that sent me to the haunted manor?
obsidian patio
We don’t know @coarse elbow
coarse elbow
Other guy.
oblique trellis
didn't notice, will go look thx
glossy flare
Hard to say for Bozja specifically, but gear kinda becomes obsolete eventually all the time
earnest wind
Hey y'all! So I got back on the server after a 30 day trial for the 4-day campaign. I had a blast doing some side quests last night. When I logged on today, all my side quests were cleared (nothing was there) and there's no markers on my map. I was Googling this and I guess other Gladiators in their early levels have experienced this (specifically in the Thanalan area). Is there anything else I can do other than send SE Customer Service a help email? Has anyone else experienced this?
remote lintel
sounds like a pretty big bug
you could submit a bug report but i'm sure theyll fix it if its that big of a problem
coarse elbow
Did you hide them in your questlog? Press J and check you still have them in your journal.
earnest wind
I found people mentioning this in 2015 and 2017. Is it still worth reporting?
earnest wind
My journal literally said 0/30 quests 😦
Yeah. I haven't left Western Thanalan, Central Thanalan, or Ul'dah
coarse elbow
And you didn't do all side quests, just to check?
remote lintel
did you try closing and reopeneing your map?
calm phoenix
Is there any way to spend silver Chocobo feathers other than the Calamity Salvager? On my main, I bought some Shire gear which I later found out can be bought with poetics. Allmy characters got silver Chocobo feathers when my sister recruited me. Shire gear was the only thing that the Calamity Salvager had that was worth-while
glossy flare
nope
remote lintel
thats what silver feathers are for
earnest wind
I specifically remember talking to Kikipu and Galfridus and having a marker set for me in Central Thanalan before logging off.
leaden ginkgo
if i got one of the questions wrong in the new make it rain quest, do i miss out on something? is it worth abandoning and picking up again or is it just slightly different dialogue?
remote lintel
did you try closing and reopening your map, and if you're in western thanalan are you looking at the map for western thanalan
earnest wind
@remote lintel Today, I played with the map and UI settings to double check (including the setting to turn on and off icons) and I logged out and logged back in.
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo its the same reward
earnest wind
@remote lintel Yeah. 😦 These are great questions so I appreciate it!
leaden ginkgo
oh, thanks

Around like 22,8
earnest wind
@remote lintel Sounds good... But at least this isn't like a normal thing or something too blatantly obvious. I had fun with the Silver Bazaar side quests and I feel bad that it's on a cliff hanger for me!
calm phoenix
Funny things is, I have yet to run into a merchant that sells them
spare plinth
ok
remote lintel
did you try the brugaire consortium in the main cities?
ripe hound
How much does Gear actually matter in end game stuff?
Like does 490 and 500 actually feel different?
remote lintel
yes
raven sage
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/eeca86f98cc/ @calm phoenix take your pick
calm phoenix
I do not know what that is
ripe hound
Like if everyone on a team use 500 instead of 490, the difference becomes quite significant?
remote lintel
his name is bango zango or something?
remote lintel
@ripe hound yes
calm phoenix
I thought Bango Zango just sells your starting year. I was toldthat earlier today
ripe hound
Nice
raven sage
He sells a lot of things
remote lintel
there's 2 brugaire npcs
sharp meteor
leveling roulette is only good once per day right?
faint flare
Yes
little swift
bonus is once per day
you could queue again if you wanted to
but it doesn't really give you anything good
little swift
people tend to do them in trains so you can do a bunch of A ranks at once
rather than the random single 1
because with a train a larger group of people are doing them so its not like a tedious boss fight
and it goes down iin about a minute or two
little swift
queue for what
little swift
hmm it is quite late in EU but i would assume it shouldn't be that long
that said, people do ilvl cheese for the crystal tower ones
calm phoenix
Can you apply dyes that are in your chocobo saddlebag or do they need to be taken out first?
faint flare
Taken out first
glossy flare
I almost never get anything but crystal tower at this point so I'm gonna assume a lot of people are doing the ilvl cheese
tbh it's very annoying, can't stand the crystal tower raids anymore
calm phoenix
If I were to upgrade to the collector's edition on all expansions, are all the mounts from it single character or account-wide?
raven sage
everything in them are account wide
little swift
I almost never get anything but crystal tower at this point so I'm gonna assume a lot of people are doing the ilvl cheese
@glossy flare you also have to consider that 5.3 brought many new players. this means more people doing msq up to that point than ever before, especially with crystal tower being mandatory
glossy flare
Fair point, yeah
I will admit, I'm mostly ranting about not getting other raids in roulette :/
just burnout
cedar compass
Do queues make system sounds
If I'm in another full screen app?
Thinking of queueing and playing something else meanwhile
remote lintel
it should if you check the box in system config

do I have to be on my summoner to do this?
verbal rune
Quick question, when should I be bothered with crafting and gathering materials?

anyone know what the whitest dye is that isnt pure white dye?

probably snow white dye

ill look into both
spare plinth
is haurchefant that special that there's an emote based on him?
remote lintel
what emote
spare plinth
the haurchefant emote
remote lintel
what is it called
glossy flare
keep playing the story, he has indeed a somewhat special role
remote lintel
that emote doesnt work for me 
empty pecan
Aside from the leves whats the next best way to farm for crystal sand?
remote lintel
scrips
empty pecan
I dont have crafter jobs leveled tho
remote lintel
poetics?
polar hound
im a lot late but adding to the "make it rain" question..there are also three more machines on the vendor, a total of 6 now, 200k each. Moogles paw, finer miner and out on a limb.
spare plinth
you have to do this questline to get his emote
remote lintel
yes he is special
raw solstice
it's a special questline at the end of HW, which basically recaps all of HW and touches on haurchefant's role as well
remote lintel
oh i didnt finish that
raw solstice
which should give indication of him being special haha
empty pecan
So 600 poetics per 2 sand. Damn gonna take awhile.
twilit arch
if you have leves you can also do the amber vilekin
though that's a bit rng whether you get a chest or not
remote lintel
they said besides leves
twilit arch
oh my bad
well there's also the ARR EX primal materials, if those are cheap ish on your server/data center
can do those instead
remote lintel
oh yeah
empty pecan
Yeah did the leve farming already gotta get me allowance back
I can buy those on the market then i take it?
twilit arch
yep
empty pecan
Ill see
twilit arch
you might also wanna look at the demimateria too
battlecraft demimateria is usually sold at or below vendor price, atleast on my server
the fieldcraft demimateria maybe a bit expensive or you might get lucky and it'll be in similar boat as battlecraft
oblique trellis
these books make me sadge
do Battle Leves or w/e they're called cycle at some point without me just doing the same ones over and over?
little swift
yes completing some from the list will cycle through the other ones in
take care that you're at the correct levemete
some of the leves are grand company leves

i saw that sphalerite is buyable with scrips but, what tab in the scrip exchange is it under?

So, if I enter a dungeon and I'm too high level, do I get experience anyway?

Those two are not there in my game
calm phoenix
Still not there
remote lintel
take a screenshot
calm phoenix
They just took a minute to render, they showed upjust as I took the screenshot

Must be just the amount of people in Limsa or something making it slow

how can you see how many hours you have in the game?

Does a crafter need to be a certain level in order to do leves from levemete?
narrow blade
1 day 4 hours 46 mins at level 49 not to bad I dont think

They have to be at least the level of the leve
calm phoenix
Is there any low level leves for crafters?

I’ve been going through the relics for crafters I’ve noticed my weaver doesn’t have manipulation for some reason... lvl 80 done but the ability says it’s not been learned

Hmmm I was sure I done them all for all classes il have to double check

Bango Zango does not have the greens for Chocobos. Where do I actually get these greens?

am I supposed to get max rarity with this rotation?
woeful nacelle
wouldnt unaspected be unaspected how is it magic damage?
little swift
aspect means the element
faint flare
Aspect is elemental magic
calm phoenix
It is not under battle items

Unaspect means it has no elements

Is there any low level leves for crafters?
https://www.ffxivguild.com/ff14-levequests-guide-levemetes/ this doesn't have Shadowbringers leves but this should do for you

@leaden ginkgo only for that specific item

It has a tradeleve section

It's under purchase items

What about the carrot thingie for stabled Chocobos?

Not buyable from normal vendors

Which class objectively changed the most this expac

The bath beast tribe have a few chocobo foods but not the carrot specifically
DRK/MCH 100%
sour ruin
Sorry for the dumb question but where is the event vendor for Make it rain?
crimson wind
Actually I meant to say which class changed the least
raven sage
The Campaign Attendant should be right around where you turned in the final step of the event quest
faint flare
Probably bard maybe
It doesn't really change much post 70
Only major thing was removing depenancy on crit
twilit arch
mnk
faint flare
Monk got Gl4
twilit arch
has basically not changed from ARR
gl4 doesn't change anything realistically about mnk tho
faint flare
Enables double true strike
zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
which again, really doesn't change mnk as awhole
ARR mnk and ShB mnk don't play that differently
crimson wind
Also couldn't monk get GL3 back faster
faint flare
It did lose the tornado kick rotation
twilit arch
about the main difference between them is that you've got more ogcds to deal with as shb
crimson wind
TK was used? huh
little swift
double true strike is one of those optional optimizations anyways
not a huge gain but is something you could do
twilit arch
its one of the common complaints from old mnk players, is that the core rotation has literally not changed at all

Boss is about to die, I should use SSS and TK then yes?

it splits a room in half

Sorry

Suzaku Barding is probably your only real bet at a fire-themed barding
cinder maple
How do we get those enlistments with unique outfits? I keep getting Alimhaus over and over and over again everytime after I dismiss him
calm phoenix
There are a few barding named after fire creatures on the market but the icons are so small. Suzaku was one that I was looking at
twilit arch
iirc most of the unique outfit recruits are gold saucer only
with like one or two being pvp
obsidian patio
They’re also rarer
cinder maple
yeah i've been doing gold saucer achievements but the same dude keeps popping up
obsidian patio
Or the bennu from the mogstation
cinder maple
no one else. is it because i'm getting him from the same achievement?
obsidian patio
If you want to pay for it
twilit arch
just unlucky, since the recruit is iirc chosen when you look at the papers itself
calm phoenix
Why does it cost only 249 gil to teleport from Limsa to my brother-in-law's FC house in Shirogane but 999 gil to go back?
twilit arch
because housing has reduced tp cost
@cinder maple these are all of the unique outfit recruits and their challenge log categories
cinder maple
yeah i've been following that
all I get is stupid Alimhaus
maybe i should just recruit him so I stop getting him. lol
raven sage
I mean it's a valid way to help lessen the pool it picks from
twilit arch
yeah
calm phoenix
How do I apply barding to my Chocobo?

I like end game content so once I get paladin to 80 and his black mage to 80 im switching to healer and hes switching to tank to run dungons
remote lintel
the endgame content is stale now and there wont be any more until december
faint flare
Your level is meaningless
narrow blade
I like end game like dungeons and farming gear at max level
narrow blade
other shit is boring to me
faint flare
If you dont do story, you cant do content
Story locks EVERYTHING
INCLUDING endgame content
narrow blade
dont care
faint flare
You could hit 80 as fast as you want
remote lintel
are you doing the story?
faint flare
But you cant access it
narrow blade
rushing it
faint flare
Because you didn't do story
remote lintel
at that point why not just buy a story skip
narrow blade
rushing through the story not paying attention to every little detail in it
willow dune
Is there a Hotkey option for selecting interactions? The 'Pile of Coins' in 'The Slice is Right' had so many people swarming all over it; I couldn't click on it
remote lintel
also youll probably get burnt out like that
because the game wasnt made to be played like that
faint flare
And probably not the game for you
remote lintel
@willow dune numpad 0
narrow blade
I work 40-60 hours a week dont have time
willow dune
Tyty
remote lintel
you can buy story skips
narrow blade
eh I like it the game so its for me bud
faint flare
You can be casual as hell
twilit arch
just going to say, that people can play this game however they want
faint flare
And do fine
twilit arch
if they wanna rush to end-game that's fine
just give them the information they need without getting into some argument about whether the game would be for them.
narrow vale
Does the sidequest in ShB that sync to your level also sync exp?
twilit arch
they give an appropriate amount of exp for the lv you do them as, yes
green slate
anyone know how to get back into the royal menagerie or mt gulg's castle area?
calm phoenix
I am like 10 levels over where I am supposed to be, I am level 71 still in Heavensward. My Chocobo is capped until I have it fight something once. Is there anything I can do to raise my Chocobo's level if I only have access to level 60 monsters and below?
wintry chasm
Mt Gulg's you can't get back into
twilit arch
royal menagerie you talk to the attendant in the ala mhigan quarter
wintry chasm
Outside of NG+
remote lintel
just kill something in a HW area
green slate
ah thanks
remote lintel
like azys lla
obsidian patio
Or switch to a lower level class and kill something near that class’s level
calm phoenix
But level 71 is still 11 levels up from level 60 which willnot give any XP
twilit arch
find a fate to lvl sync down to
raven sage
You can also just do a fate
twilit arch
and kill one thing
hasty jasper
crafting in shadowbringers - my wife and i paid for boosts (boo i know) is there an advantage in shadowbringer to starting crafting DoH DoL?
calm phoenix
I did not think about that. I fogot fates do level sync. Thanks
hasty jasper
so wait until 80 to pick some and level them?
hasty jasper
oh okay
remote lintel
its easier
hasty jasper
is there benefits to crafting at all, or not needed? i don't care too much about min maxing, but maybe vanity items for fun?
wintry chasm
its easier to start crafting at lvl 80
I mean....not specfiically easier to level up at 80 but generally yes once you finish an expansion it's easier to do the crafting for it
remote lintel
crafting is completely optional
wintry chasm
It's not needed unless you want to be able to make decent gil and make things for cheap
It's not like, going to give you an advantage to raiding or anything
twilit arch
self melding and self repair are pretty nice things to have, but for the most part you don't have to do it if you aren't interested
hasty jasper
how much gil does .. end game gear/consumables cost, a bit?
remote lintel
not so much that its impossible to buy without crafting
even non crafters will make a bit of gil
wintry chasm
^
twilit arch
the current stuff right now is fairly reasonable, but when the new raid tier comes
hasty jasper
via duties/fates?
remote lintel
treasure maps
twilit arch
the new gear/consumables are gonna be decently pricy
remote lintel
the BEST way is crafting
hasty jasper
does gear have the ability to turn into +1 +2 etc? i guess that's how you make big money items? not sure
remote lintel
only the lvl 70 relic gear
viral crag
Maybe a dumb question but I just reached lvl 60 on paladin and can't gain experience anymore. What do I need to do to lvl to 70?
hasty jasper
sorry lots of questions lol
obsidian patio
It’s not really a thing, the equivalent of +1 is making the gear high-quality
remote lintel
@viral crag buy the base game (if you dont own it) and the dlc
obsidian patio
Though high quality gear is the default at endgame as NQ loses out on tons of stats
wintry chasm
^
hasty jasper
do dungeons give decent gear at all?
wintry chasm
You aren't actually meant to make NQ gear at endgame
hasty jasper
or best via crafting?
remote lintel
dungeons give catch up gear mostly
obsidian patio
Baseline entry gear from dungeons
twilit arch
best gear is from raids
viral crag
I have to pay for dlc to access lvl 70? Alright
wintry chasm
Raids and stuff will always give better gear
twilit arch
or weekly tomestone
hasty jasper
I don't know if I'll ever get to raids, unless there are "LFG" raids like WoW :<
remote lintel
@viral crag stormblood raised the level cap to 70 and shadowbringers raised it to 80 so yes
obsidian patio
Normal mode is basically LFG
hasty jasper
i would say if I can get BiS from Dungeons, I'll be "okay" lol
faint flare
You can duty finder normal modes, extreme savage and ups are via Party finder
hasty jasper
im just saying in general
wintry chasm
But crafted gear is a really nice boost when going into a new savage raiding tier since you can buy it and it's not part of the weekly lockout so while you will eventually swap it out for the raid gear it's a quick jump
viral crag
@remote lintel gotcha
remote lintel
well if you dont plan on raiding then getting gear isnt really a problem cause you dont need the best
hasty jasper
there is BiS before raiding though via... what?
twilit arch
normal mode raids and 24man dungeons are basically lfg level
remote lintel
ive only heard "bis" to describe best gear in the game
faint flare
And capped tomes
twilit arch
so dungeon gear really isn't that useful unless you're trying to catch up and need a bit of an ilvl boost
hasty jasper
i mean, there is bis in tiers, bis before raiding, bis in raiding, and of course bis pvp/etc
twilit arch
no
remote lintel
huh
hasty jasper
in general
remote lintel
thats not like that in this game
twilit arch
that's not really a thing
hasty jasper
across mmos
remote lintel
in this game theres only raiding bis
faint flare
People only do BiS for highest tier gear, before then you get the highest ilvl you can
wintry chasm
^
faint flare
Ilvl is king
wintry chasm
There is no bis outside of raiding bis since it's pointless to ever have one
warped nest
Imagine playing a fighting game with BiS load out
hasty jasper
so prior to RAIDING, ilvl gear in dungeons would be "BIS" and then anything after dungeons would be higher ILVL which would then be BIS at that level
open coral
Outside of raiding, it's basically just maximum ilevel + stat priorities as found on the Balance.
hasty jasper
okay
wintry chasm
prior to raiding the highest ilvl thing you have is bis essentially
faint flare
"bis" without raiding would be full capped tomestone gear
warped nest
raiding BiS is not an necessity for most of the time
faint flare
In a new raid patch
hasty jasper
what is tomestone gear xD
crimson wind
What's the song that plays on SB and HW dungeon mini bosses?
remote lintel
lvl 80 currency
faint flare
Currency you earn
open coral
Crystarium and Deepshadow gear sets
wintry chasm
It's a thing you can get at the level caps
hasty jasper
cool
open coral
The stuff you can buy with tomestones
hasty jasper
sorry guys I feel like Im blowing you up with tons of questions
but thank you for answering all of them
faint flare
Gearing is super linear
remote lintel
@crimson wind insatiable for shb
open coral
This is a place for questions to be asked and answered.
twilit arch
to the fore @crimson wind
open coral
No need to apologize for asking.
warped nest
@hasty jasper everyone started out as a new player
crimson wind
Ty kael
warped nest
And the game itself doesn't write all these down for you
hasty jasper
❤️
warped nest
Asking the community is the best thing you can do for yourself
remote lintel
also i think you should just do the story and get to 80 first so you have some idea of what to do
it comes naturally
open coral
Yeah, a lot of things in this game actually do spell themselves out pretty clearly over the course of the MSQ.
And for everything else, there's Mastercard this Discord
hasty jasper
well we started as 70 DRK and 70 SCH, but the wife decided SCH was boring so we decided to restart with GNB and DNC
so Im just thinking of the future
alpine heath
Can I know why I can't see the 'screenshot-contest' channel
hasty jasper
Im used to tanking and healing so, I dont find it boring.
open coral
^
remote lintel
i think they just meant changing class
hasty jasper
we are on the same character, i meant, we were 70, restarted at 60
bought boosts (boo yes i know)
little swift
@alpine heath contest submission period is over. Voting process will begin soon
remote lintel
well your wife also has a lvl 70 summoner
from getting scholar
they share levels
hasty jasper
oh okay
remote lintel
summoner is a dps
open coral
Ehh, I'll note that while we don't typically recommend purchasing character boosts for story skips for new players because it will thwart your learning curve, doing so is really up to you in the end.
hasty jasper
so she just has to unlock the summoner job and it will be 70 (via quest) ?
open coral
Yes
remote lintel
she has to do the class quests too
hasty jasper
lit
remote lintel
to get her skills
hasty jasper
lol
open coral
It will be level 70, she just won't have the skills.
And the gear is a little different after level 50
open coral
After finishing the SB questline, of course
hasty jasper
guess I didn't get that with the DRK boost xD
remote lintel
yeah so you have rhalgrs unlocked
zinc orbitBOT
hasty jasper
Rhahlgrs?
remote lintel
also scholar and summoner are the only classes who share levels
remote lintel
rhalgrs reach is the stormblood endgame area
where you buy the endgame gear
called scaevan
hasty jasper
okay - since we skipped we only started at our main jobs city
we never went there yet, i guess we can teleport
remote lintel
the teleports should be unlocked
open coral
Yeah, not knowing which city is which is one of the major disadvantages of story skipping your first character.
remote lintel
from left to right they go by order of expansion
hasty jasper
i know most of the cities since ARR< I just dont know any of the expansion cities xD
remote lintel
ishgard is the main city of HW, kugane is the main city of SB, crystarium is the main city of SHB
youll get to the crystarium eventually
hasty jasper
we did crystarium, we did get 72 on DRK and SCH
just restarting since she was bored of healing :<
lol
open coral
Secondary cities (where tomestone vendors are located) are Idyllshire (HW), Rhalgar's Reach (SB), and ||Eulmore|| (ShB)
Healing is 90% boredom and 10% sheer terror (when your tank pops something like Superbolide)
upper mortar
You cant get the old rainmaker ponytail from this new event right?
hasty jasper
me too cerebus
remote lintel
no you cant
hasty jasper
WHM looks fun
open coral
So do I. Doesn't mean I don't stand by my assessment. 😄
spare plinth
i would do it for the emote but i should focus on the story
remote lintel
whm is probably the most boring of the healers lol
hasty jasper
but also Im a Roegadyn or whatever... WHM armor on Roegadyn
open coral
WHM is actually considered the most boring of the healers due to being a very powerful reactive healer.
remote lintel
@spare plinth if you want to do it then do it
robust crow
white mage savage raiding is literally cast glare for 80% of the fight
remote lintel
thats all healers
robust crow
but hey it's still pretty fun
hasty jasper
yeah but like.... I like raw throughput?
open coral
It takes very little for WHM to heal a party and then just go back to dps.
hasty jasper
I mean I was a Holy Paladin in WoW for like 10 years
remote lintel
if you like busy healers go for astrologian
robust crow
astros get cards and shit
hasty jasper
also boring
little swift
The challenge of healing in content is that its difficulty is inversely proportional to team skill
robust crow
just have to remember to resummon your pet when you die
slate arrow
There's no such thing as random damage
robust crow
with scholar
little swift
The crappier people are the harder it gets
open coral
So true
hasty jasper
Ill remember this all in the future 🙂 thanks guys
open coral
SCH is a lot like Disc Priest
robust crow
discipline priest also, but there's not really anything like disc priest in ff14
open coral
Holy Pally isn't so much about shields. They're a lot of reactive healing too.
We're getting off topic though
worldly island
yo boys im new in this discord

is aesthete set BiS for crafters? i see a lot of ppl using it

It’s going to be BiS for a long time

Until next expansion
calm phoenix
I have the augmented shire ring and I was told that I can still get the non-augmented version in Idyleshire but the Tomestone Exchange only has the augmented versions. Where is the non-augmented version?
faint flare
Except tools, skysteel may overtake them
You cant get un augmented tome gear anymore, its outdated info
little swift
585 before food
leaden ginkgo
kk
leaden ginkgo
hmm.. im not sure what im missing, ive used as many cunning materia as i can on my aesthete gear and im only hitting 560 without food
little swift
Have you over melded
leaden ginkgo
572 should be the cap with aesthete gear
slate arrow
@calm phoenix you cannot obtain un-augumented poetics gear as of 5.3
open coral
Crafted gear can be melded with up to 5 materia
leaden ginkgo
i have specialist too
faint flare
Overmeld
leaden ginkgo
overmeld can get past the cap?
open coral
Yes
faint flare
Yes
open coral
That's what it means
mystic ruin
It can’t
little swift
Overmelding means jamming more materia in
faint flare
Craftes gear can be overmelded
mystic ruin
You can’t go past the max 9CP cap
slate arrow
disregard them
mystic ruin
For example
slate arrow
you can't go past the stat cap yeah
little swift
You just can't go past the max cap of the item
viral crag
Question: I just bought shadowbringers on ps4... How do I download it?
faint flare
Gear thats crafted can be overmelded, allowing 5 materia in total
Its rng and materia will be destroyed on fail
slate arrow
@viral crag boot up the launcher and it should automatically begin to update
leaden ginkgo
in that case, looking at each cp stat im missing it only adds up to 12 points
mystic ruin
So yes to having more materia than holes, no to going past the stat cap
obsidian patio
If you bought it digitally just launch the game
open coral
If you bought it on PS4, you'll need to insert the disc (if you purchased the physical edition) and link the version code to your account.
Digitally yeah, just launch the game
viral crag
Okay. Thought I needed some code first I didn't even try launching the game instead. Thanks guys
open coral
Then be prepared to wait like, 5 hours for it to download and install.
slate arrow
one question, did you buy the Starter Edition or own A Realm Reborn beforehand?
viral crag
Gotcha
faint flare
Ps4 automatically does codes for you
Once you linked it with your Mogstation account
leaden ginkgo
@mystic ruin so would 572 cp be the highest base cp possible without food?
faint flare
Which you do when you first boot up
little swift
Yeah my math abd memory were off
faint flare
You're missing 12 from overmelds
mystic ruin
@leaden ginkgo I think that’s the cap right now (I only glanced at the balance’s guide but that should be it)
little swift
574 with specialist would be the total prefood
leaden ginkgo
574? maybe im doing the math wrong
leaden ginkgo
maybe they swapped out something that has higher cp
little swift
Probably
leaden ginkgo
that isn't aesthete
little swift
Nah you can use 8s for the first overmeld slot
raw solstice
stat caps work on an ilvl basis
so melded aesthete gear is going to be the most CP you're getting, alongside food/tea
leaden ginkgo
kk, i don't think i should have a problem crafting anything with this much cp then
little swift
560 is plenty when you use food as well
opaque pewter
Is heaven on high soloable?
little swift
Yes
faint flare
Yes
opaque pewter
any class?
leaden ginkgo
what food should i stock up on?
calm phoenix
How could a level 54 retainer with the best gear for level 54 bring back a junk item that only sells for 1 gilon the market? What did she do those 18 hours?
narrow blade
qqq
little swift
Blood boullabaise and meijones are common choices
narrow blade
my bad
little swift
Also chili crab
little swift
Yah that's the boujie option
leaden ginkgo
makes no diff stat wise right?
little swift
Using a syrup should help as well
The do different things to your stats
Blood bou is control/cp
Meijones is cms and cp
slate arrow
Just a little less total stats but most if not all macros use blood or matcha due to cost/stats
little swift
Chili crab is the better blood bou
slate arrow
matcha in particular is super easy to make since it's basically all botany
leaden ginkgo
whats syrup?
little swift
Also trained eye makes it easy to produce
Its another consumable
That gives stats
opaque pewter
Any word yet on rabbits getting headgears?
leaden ginkgo
oh and it stacks?
slate arrow
it's a potion like the intelligence potions
little swift
!item cunning craftsmans syrup
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
no freis
little swift
Darn but yes it stacks
slate arrow
@leaden ginkgo yes since it's a buff and not a food item
raw solstice
!item cunning craftsman's syrup

not that i'm complaining
