[wintry chasm]

^

I was answering two questions there

My response to you was just the spoiler tagged bit

tbh I don't see where ||Tiamat talks about The Twelve||

[leaden ginkgo]

@wintry chasm oh. ||Yeah. Does that mean the Twelve are like Yasyle's fake Shiva?||

[wintry chasm]

Oh wait I see what bit you mean

[twilit arch]

||Whether the twelve are actual real gods or not, is debateble. Just because ysayle summoned shiva doesn't mean all gods are primals/fake per se||

[wintry chasm]

||Basically she is just saying primals aren't the real deal.||

As Kael pointed out ||Whether The Twelve are real or not is unknown but if someone would say...summon a primal based on The Twelve it wouldn't be the Twelve||

So in your example of ||Shiva. Shiva was a real person back in the day but as Hrae even says, the primal Shiva isn't the real Shiva. It's a fake||

[leaden ginkgo]

||But said fake Twelve acts in the world as a real twelve is expected, what's the difference?||

[slate arrow]

||All primals are the result of people sending a lot of faith into a focused group of aether. icons like shiva and ifrit simply make it easy to shape a desired primal summon.||

[twilit arch]

There's no indication that the twelve act in anyway

they're just a very prevalent religion

that has existed for hundreds of years

[wintry chasm]

*thousands

[tidal yarrow]

if I remove all the hotbars from a class. will other jobs hotbar get affected?

[leaden ginkgo]

I am starting to wonder ||if the twelve existed at all or people made them up through the ages||

[tidal yarrow]

or even if I drag them somewhere else

[wintry chasm]

Some hotbars will be shared between jobs and some won't

[calm phoenix]

Where in Ul'dah does the event quest begin? I see nobody with a + quest other than guilds

[wintry chasm]

So depending on what hotbars you clear out it'll affect other jobs

[slate arrow]

||Thaaat's mostly ShB spoilers, I feel.||

[twilit arch]

https://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/lds/h/T/YV3MHiwmZ74Vz02EyJuM-58lwU.jpg

that's where the make it rain starting quest is

[wintry chasm]

You can check what hotbars are shared in the hotbar setting of character config Yuuko

[faint flare]

Its a yellow quest, not blue

[wintry chasm]

I am starting to wonder ||if the twelve existed at all or people made them up through the ages||
Who knows

But I sense you're happy now?

[harsh moat]

What would you consider the average investment to leveling DoH's?

[wintry chasm]

wdym?

[calm phoenix]

There is just somebody else there with a normal + quest, not an event + quest

[tidal yarrow]

thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

a lot cuz they can make it back

[slate arrow]

anywhere from zero to a few million

[harsh moat]

A h

[slate arrow]

you need to be more specific

[harsh moat]

Specifics like which doh?

[slate arrow]

no as in like

speed and gear

[calm phoenix]

There is nobody else at that spot

[slate arrow]

You can spend zero gil leveling, but you'll have to craft and gather all of the materials

plus your own gear

[wintry chasm]

Honestly if you do crafting right and not try to cheese and spend money on skipping stuff like making your own gear....I'd say like, the investment gil to max out crafting is like....1 mil absolute tops for the leveling experience

[calm phoenix]

Nobody knows why the event guy is NOT there for me??

[slate arrow]

moltres simmer down

[harsh moat]

Is it good to skip stuff? Or there's no benefit

[slate arrow]

you're not the only person here

[wintry chasm]

I mean

[faint flare]

You need to have completed The envoy quest before it appears

[wintry chasm]

That depends on how much skipping stuff is worth to you Hypnos

[faint flare]

The stuff is listed on the event page

[calm phoenix]

I have. My character is level 34 white mage

[wintry chasm]

I'm pretty stingy on gil so I'd never say it is

[harsh moat]

Ahhh, then no skip it is then

[raw solstice]

have you unlocked the gold saucer on that character? That's probably the quest that the NPC has

[harsh moat]

Tyvm for your insights

[faint flare]

Its a yellow quest

[leaden ginkgo]

@wintry chasm yes. Thanks for the answer

[faint flare]

Not blue

[calm phoenix]

Does this event require the gold saucer to be unlocked?

[slate arrow]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[twilit arch]

yes

it takes place in the gold saucer

[rocky tide]

What happens to melded materia when you upgrade the relic weapon? Should I retrieve the materia first?

[twilit arch]

you should retrieve

[slate arrow]

since it's a completely new item you're exchanging for, all materia will be lost

[twilit arch]

it'll disappear if you exchange with them in

[faint flare]

You trade in the item for a new one

So its gone

[slate arrow]

This only applies to the Stormblood and Shadowbringers relic

[twilit arch]

also something to keep in mind when augmenting gear as well

[calm phoenix]

How was somebody able to walk by me and send me a /tell, but replying back, he is in a restricted area? Last I knew Ul'dah is not restricted

[slate arrow]

/busy

[faint flare]

Or they went into a dungeon

[calm phoenix]

I named my character after a monster and some random player said that they love that monster and I tried responding back

[slate arrow]

just the /hmm emote

[faint flare]

From the quest

[twilit arch]

and reduced cost on certain items, which the campaign attendant sells

[slate arrow]

otherwise no, nothing new this year

[faint flare]

We have no information on that

[twilit arch]

idk why people did....

[faint flare]

Other than they want to do ot again

[twilit arch]

considering its tied to the 15 cross over event

there's no reason to think it'd be with make it rain

[slate arrow]

it was, but as a FFXV event

[twilit arch]

It was, but it was during the 15 cross over event

[faint flare]

Thats the only relation

[calm phoenix]

I need to go to the Cactpot Board next for the Gold Saucer Unlock quest but I cannot find it. I tried upstairs and down stairs. The map seems to lead me off the grid. Where can I find it?

[calm phoenix]

It is only showing where a wall is for me?

[faint flare]

Cactboard is upstairs in the east area

With Jumbo cactpot and stuff

[calm phoenix]

Place is a maze and a half

[cedar blade]

If I don’t like the bird hatched, can I ditch it and try again, or am I stuck with this one?

After I breed, not the initial one.

[plain python]

when manage ogcd, should I use skills with longer cooldown or shorter ones first?

[robust crow]

depends on your class

[faint flare]

And your opener

[robust crow]

but generally speaking the longer ogcd skills are buffs

so usually you want your short ogcd benefitting from the longer cooldowns

[plain python]

what about tank where their ogcd are mostly for damage mitigation? longer first or shorter first?

[faint flare]

Depends on fight

[cedar blade]

Depends on the situation

[faint flare]

And how it all lines up with busters

Tank mitigation rarely has a "right" answer

[calm phoenix]

I went and unlocked the Gold Saucer and all attractions inside and STILL no event start in Ul'dah! Does anybody know what the problem could be? Only the Yoki Watch guy is there!!!

[remote lintel]

did you finish the quest?

[raven sage]

Are you looking for a regular side quest like you're supposed to?

[calm phoenix]

Yes I did. All of them in the Gold Saucer

[remote lintel]

did you start the quest from nanaphon in ul'dah

[obsidian patio]

It looks like a normal sidequest and not a blue one

[calm phoenix]

Poor Heeled Youth

[hard bluff]

what do i do with antique gauntlets?

[calm phoenix]

I found him. by the flame command area

[obsidian patio]

You can turn them into the i90 job gear from the level 50 job quests in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan

Inside the giant stone building

[hard bluff]

ty

[calm phoenix]

Caught Shorthanded?

[remote lintel]

yes

[plain python]

go to Rowena in Revenant's Toll -> trade them for a class glove of choices. It is the same from lv50 class quest's attire chest. So if you want cosmetic cuz already disposed the set, or want some extra GC seals, then trade it.

[robust crow]

@plain python cooldown skill usage depends heavily on the class you are playing and the strategy you're using for the fight lol

need to give us more context

what class? for tanks, what fight/raid?

and if you really want to get into it, what jobs are the other players in the party?

[bronze narwhal]

Heya guys question, does this affect our character exp gain during command mission, or just our squadron's exp?

[robust crow]

squadron exp

I'm 99% sure that bonus has nothing to do with your personal exp

[faint flare]

Squadron xp only

[robust crow]

and it's only that unit's exp also

not the whole squadron

[bronze narwhal]

ah I see, screw this trait

thanks guys

[robust crow]

yeah if she's maxed then dump that trait

[calm phoenix]

I need to go to the minion square for the event quest but I cannot find it. I went everywhere I can go in the Gold Saucer and there is no map marker for the quest. Does anybody know where to go?

[remote lintel]

its to the west in another area

[faint flare]

Its downstairs, take the elevator

[remote lintel]

take the chocobo lift

[bronze narwhal]

lift attendant, its on another are

a

[faint flare]

The elevator down is north east of reception

Close ish to triple triad hall

[sweet leaf]

does anyoneknow if there is a mask type gear that is dyeable? One that's similar in appearance to the Legionary Visor or the Nighthawk Visor

[bronze narwhal]

look at the icon, if theres a small dots then you can dye it

[calm phoenix]

Where to go from the aetheryte? I cannot find where you guys are talking about

[faint flare]

West towards reception

[bronze narwhal]

top right corner, that means its dyeable

[sweet leaf]

look at an icon? on gear I don't have or don't even know the name of?

[faint flare]

Then just past it on the right

Looking at receiption

[tidal yarrow]

how to motion myself in say chat?

[sweet leaf]

./me

[tidal yarrow]

like yuuko misliar does x

so /me does x

[bronze narwhal]

if there's no circle like that, then its not dyeable

[faint flare]

/Em

[remote lintel]

@sweet leaf any of these

[faint flare]

Types in emote chat

/Em Does X

Puts in

"Name does X

[calm phoenix]

Took me to Chocobo Square

[sweet leaf]

those are circlets, and the rose gold circlet would be perfect but it's DOM and I need either All or DOW

[faint flare]

Minion square is east after taking the elevator

[remote lintel]

you can also click the quest objective in your duty list

[bronze narwhal]

oh he is looking for the gear, not the way to tell, my bad lmao

[faint flare]

Remember the aether shards down there

[sweet leaf]

sorry if i wasn't clear lol

[remote lintel]

they all have a mask on them

[sweet leaf]

yeah i wanna find gear that's like an eye mask similar to the nighthawk mask

but that i can dye

they all do?

[remote lintel]

all of the things i listed have the mask

[kind eagle]

How to find a wedding partner

[remote lintel]

shout in limsa

[kind eagle]

Kekk

[blazing cipher]

how do I pay my Subscription I been trying to do but idk it wont let me it say i have 0 days and it due today

[faint flare]

Mogstation

[sweet leaf]

when i press Try On, none of them do

[kind eagle]

@blazing cipher idk man

[remote lintel]

@sweet leaf try turning the visor on/off

[kind eagle]

Ffxiv just used my card and auto pay without asking

[sweet leaf]

i tried that, they don't have masks

[kind eagle]

Idk how to change billig method

[remote lintel]

garlandtools lied to me then

[sweet leaf]

only the rose gold circlet does

[kind eagle]

They just use my card

[blazing cipher]

i have my card on it but is not auto pay it

[kind eagle]

Mine is autopay

Not sure why

[remote lintel]

@sweet leaf seems only the rose gold, nighthawk, and legionary have them

[sweet leaf]

interesting

[kind eagle]

Is it because im chinese?

[remote lintel]

@blazing cipher screenshot your mog station

[sweet leaf]

another question, when i try to craft something ilke Crystal Glass, it says insufficient craftsmanship rating, and i don't know what to do about that

[blazing cipher]

@remote lintel

[obsidian patio]

@sweet leaf you need better gear

[remote lintel]

click cancel subscription and then try adding it again

[sweet leaf]

i don't know what to about it when i have the best gear for the level

or at least it's not junk gear

[obsidian patio]

Are you a fresh level 50?

[remote lintel]

food, syrup, materia

[obsidian patio]

Take a screenshot of your actual gear so I can see what stuff I can suggest

[blazing cipher]

@remote lintel ty it worked

[tidal yarrow]

/Em Does X
it also does the emote "motion yourself" tho

isn't there a way to not do any emote but to type that in chat :o

[raw solstice]

/me is the "motion to yourself"

/em is custom emote text

[obsidian patio]

Your best option, besides buying old crafted stuff that’s probably inflated in price, is to just level up and use the leveling progression gear

[raw solstice]

/em simply displays text, does no action

[sweet leaf]

does it have something to do with the stars next to the item?

just out of curiousity

[raw solstice]

stupid discord text stuff

[obsidian patio]

Kinda, the stars are a way of showing difficulty

[raw solstice]

/me is the "motion to self"

[tidal yarrow]

oh I did it wrong

[obsidian patio]

Like the stat requirement

[tidal yarrow]

thx

[leaden ginkgo]

guys why i cant set rare cards in decks

it says to much

how come ?

[sweet leaf]

weird, because crystal glass has 2 stars, and so does rose gold ingot, but I can craft rose gold ingot just fine and my gsm lower level than my alch, so it has less craft and control

[slate arrow]

for cards, you need a specific number of cards collected to go past the limits

[leaden ginkgo]

like ?

[slate arrow]

Initially it's 1 2+ card and as many 1 cards

[crisp ether]

30 cards to have unlimited rank 2 cards

[slate arrow]

You need 60 cards to upgrade to unlimited rank 3 cards

[raw solstice]

stats for crafters/gatherers are entirely gear dependent, not level dependent

[sweet leaf]

wait nevermind what

i can't craft rose gold ingot, i can only craft the nugget

lol

[obsidian patio]

The nugget is one-star, IIRC

[calm phoenix]

So this repeatable quest is basically you working for the Gold Saucer giving recommendations to NPCs?

[leaden ginkgo]

what about legnds

[sweet leaf]

yeah it is

[obsidian patio]

Player Decks can never hold multiple 4/5 star cards

[sweet leaf]

i just want my elegant rimless glasses orz

[slate arrow]

AI gets to disregard these rules

:)

[leaden ginkgo]

i am missing 3 cards to 60 dam

anyone knows where i can buy 3 ?

[remote lintel]

the mgp person

[calm phoenix]

My brother-in-law has a Philia card for Triple Triad, do I need to make it to Shadowbringers to get that card being that is where he is from?

[slate arrow]

Alliance raids have cards as a drop sometimes, most trials have one, you can challenge certain NPCs for cards you don't have

@calm phoenix drops from the level 71 dungeon unlocked from the MSQ

[remote lintel]

philia is from shadowbringers yes

[leaden ginkgo]

so max is 60 for upgrade on decks right ?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[leaden ginkgo]

where can I collect lvl60 gatherer collectibles?

[zinc orbit]

[slate arrow]

Heavensward, but if you're above level 60 you're better off doing Stormblood collectibles

Exactly level 60 collectibles can be found around. Check Rowena for exact items.

[leaden ginkgo]

some require tome of botanical folklore

how can I get that?

[obsidian patio]

Buy with yellow gatherer scrips at the sundry splendors

[slate arrow]

For Heavensward, there's one book per zone.

Should be pretty cheap to get.

[obsidian patio]

HW books are like 50 each, SB being like 150 each

Super cheap

[leaden ginkgo]

so my situation is, my botanist is level 70, and I wanna farm scrips to buy the level 70 gear, but my current gear is for lvl 65 botanist. However, I have 600GP for the better rotation *according to the guide

[slate arrow]

You should buy the Landking Gear first

[leaden ginkgo]

I don't know if I'm wasting my time

ok

[slate arrow]

it'll last you all the way until 80 and the level 71 collectibles should have better returns

[leaden ginkgo]

yes, I wanna buy Landking

I just don't know which collectible I should farm to get the scrips

[obsidian patio]

Only thing you may want to replace for Landking is the tools past 76-77

[slate arrow]

to get scrips now just go for the level 61-70 collectibles which don't need tomes

[leaden ginkgo]

ok

[obsidian patio]

Highest earning ones on a giant loop

[slate arrow]

all of the good ones are on timed nodes

[leaden ginkgo]

so I shouldn't worry about tomes rn

[slate arrow]

so you'll have to rotate them all anyways

[obsidian patio]

You can use a site like Garland Bell to show a timeline when nodes spawn

[leaden ginkgo]

ok

should I filter by Unspoiled/Ephemeral/Legendary?

just by yellow scrips shows this

[slate arrow]

ignore legendary since those are book nodes

[slate arrow]

ephemeral are mainly used for the sands which aren't usually turn ins

so go with unspoiled for now

[leaden ginkgo]

that one is from Lakeland

White Oak Branch, I wonder if I can actually gather that

[obsidian patio]

Click the 2.0/3.0/4.0/5.0 to filter expansions

[slate arrow]

should be able to

[obsidian patio]

3.0 and 4.0 being HW and SB

Also, Double clicking a node adds it as a favorite and puts it on the timetable at the top of the screen

[slate arrow]

craft/gather gear stat jumps aren't as dramatic as combat gear

[leaden ginkgo]

ooh, I thought 5.0 covered all past expansions

[obsidian patio]

They’re expansion specific for that site

[plain python]

is there a way to preview an store-bought outfit in-game?

[obsidian patio]

So you can filter out low reward stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

ok

[slate arrow]

@plain python no

[obsidian patio]

Unless you see someone else using the outfit, no

[leaden ginkgo]

I'll try hunting these timed nodes, thank you

[oblique trellis]

So.. I'm guessing if I hate a specific FATE I need to do, I just have to sit around and hope it pops up?

[slate arrow]

yep

[oblique trellis]

joy

[remote lintel]

clear other fates to make space

[leaden ginkgo]

so I was able to collect the Lakeland node, but I cannot reach the minimum rarity

[slate arrow]

F

go and do the Stormblood nodes to upgrade your gear then

[leaden ginkgo]

I tried the HW nodes, I also failed to get minimum rarity

I'm using the 3x Methodical appraisal + Ageless words rotation (I have 600GP atm)

[raven sage]

Make sure you're doing custom deliveries for scrips too btw

[leaden ginkgo]

are those easier?

[plain python]

my gathering/crafting is at average lv55, with vendor lv55 gear. How should I progress from here? (I'm trial so lv60 is max, and I want to get good gear into Stormblood)

[leaden ginkgo]

it seems my problem right now is that I cannot get the minimum rarity on the timed nodes

[little swift]

https://www.ffxiv-gathering.com/images/4.0-470.png

[raven sage]

Yeah most of them should have much easier collectables

[little swift]

i use this for 600 gp

[obsidian patio]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/317515779253862401/655345760505823252/image0.jpg

This is what I use

[remote lintel]

can 2 dragoons put eyes on each other

[faint flare]

Yes

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[leaden ginkgo]

ok so I need 1000 perception

I'm sitting at 858

Two questions

Is there an easy way to put eyes on someone using controller as dragoon?

[remote lintel]

not that I've found

[leaden ginkgo]

And are all primal ex weapon drops always inferior to the crafted version?

[jade quartz]

No

[faint flare]

Macro or get really quick with up/down dpad

Crafted primal weapons are just glowy

[jade quartz]

Crafted version is glamour, doesn’t have good stats

[leaden ginkgo]

I think I can rearrange my party list to prioritize

My question is because I see no particle effects on my Ravana spear

[jade quartz]

Dragon Sight macro is a good macro use

[leaden ginkgo]

Wdym

And I see particle effects on the crafted version

[jade quartz]

Yeah

Particle effects are why the crafted versions exist

[leaden ginkgo]

So my question was if the crafted effects are always superior glamour wise

[faint flare]

/Ac "Dragon sight" <Party slot number>

If you like the glow

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a delay with that or

I don't macro

[faint flare]

Yes, like all macros

Tiny delay

[jade quartz]

You just said “superior”

[leaden ginkgo]

But since it's instant, it doesn't matter, right?

Well yeah, the weapon drops are generally for cosmetic reasons

[jade quartz]

It does matter

[faint flare]

There's still a tiny delay due to lack of skill que

[jade quartz]

No they’re not.

[leaden ginkgo]

Lol okay.

[twilit arch]

tbh not all of the glowy versions are better. like sophia imo are not better with glow

[jade quartz]

Primal weapon drops have a place in gear progression.

You’ve misunderstood their purpose

They’re relevant weapons when the fight is current

[leaden ginkgo]

I think the lack of level 80 weapon drops suggests otherwise, no?

[twilit arch]

they're decent weapons until you can get the savage/capped tomestone weapon

[jade quartz]

What are you talking about

[faint flare]

There's plenty of lv80 weapons

[leaden ginkgo]

For primal drops

[faint flare]

Mainly from the extremes

[jade quartz]

Level 80 extreme primals drop weapons

[lone spruce]

What’s a fast way to level up desynthesis? I’m desynthesizing decent grade items but I’m only gaining about 3-ish points or so

[faint flare]

All but Golden boy drops one

[leaden ginkgo]

But there is no crafted variant of them is what I mean.

Buy cheap items @lone spruce

[jade quartz]

Crafted variants come later

[leaden ginkgo]

Or craft them yourself

[twilit arch]

because crafted versions come later

[faint flare]

Because crafted versions lag behind

And not even for every primal

[lone spruce]

Wym buy cheap items

[leaden ginkgo]

On the mb

[lone spruce]

Is that it? Just buy stuff and desynth it?

[faint flare]

Desynth gear drops as wwll

[leaden ginkgo]

https://www.ffxiv-gathering.com/images/4.0-470.png
@little swift wow this is indeed the rotation that's working for me, even at 850 perception

Depends on your server but yeah, as long as it's +50/-50 or so

[lone spruce]

I’m level 52 ALC, what should I buy?

[leaden ginkgo]

And depends on how much you're willing to spend

The alternative is to craft the cheapest item you can desynth en masse

[lone spruce]

Well I just used my tinkers calm and bacon broth so

[twilit arch]

buy the highest lvl smn/sch weapons and desynth those

[lone spruce]

Don’t have a lot of time here lmao

[leaden ginkgo]

Find something with a desynth value in range and just craft those

[twilit arch]

quickest/easiest to buy lvl 79/80 weapons and desynth those

[raw solstice]

you're still only going to get a few points of desynth each time, but that's just kinda how it works

takes a while

[plain python]

is Clear Dementia for vendor only?

[raw solstice]

pretty much yeah, no use to it other than selling it

[leaden ginkgo]

It can be useful for Doman

[raw solstice]

yeah, that's still "selling to NPC" but you just get a bit of bonus gil for it

[lone spruce]

Bruh I just spent 200k+ on stuff to desynth and my skill went up by like ,,, 10%

[leaden ginkgo]

50% is pretty nice, but if you desynth a lot it's useful to wait depending on how many allagan pieces you get

[lone spruce]

10 points I mean

[leaden ginkgo]

What is it at right now?

[raw solstice]

yeah desynth takes a while to level and can be expensive if you're buying stuff to desynth. Easier/cheaper if you can also craft some stuff yourself, particularly using the mats you get from desynth

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, I think your definition of cheap might be different than everybody else's Theri

[lone spruce]

I’m a cheapskate!

[raw solstice]

if you wanna be particularly cheap about it you can gather a ton of mats and just mass craft yourself. That's (mostly) what I did to level desynth

[plain python]

also level your own craft 😄

does Cook job only desynth fish?

[twilit arch]

ya

[lone spruce]

Is there any way to boost drop rate from enemies?

[slate arrow]

NIN's mug but that's on a two minute cooldown

With shadowbringers, it's faster to just do FATES

[leaden ginkgo]

Drop rate for what?

[lone spruce]

Enemy drops

[twilit arch]

personally would just use a combat retainer to farm mob drops

[leaden ginkgo]

^

[lone spruce]

I was about to go farm Ahriman wings since they sell for quite a bit

I once got HQ drop and I got a good price for that one

[leaden ginkgo]

There's usually better uses of time for making gil unless you're talking like ridiculous amounts

[plain python]

sam and red mage starts at 50?

[leaden ginkgo]

But you just spent 200k on desynth so I don't know

[twilit arch]

yes, momo

[plain python]

oh short I seal-convert lv50 casting and striking gear >,<

thought they started at lv60

[twilit arch]

that would be gunbreaker and dancer

[leaden ginkgo]

So I have Mnaago unlocked for deliveries, but how do I get the other npcs? I believe I'm still missing three..

[faint flare]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Custom_Deliveries

[latent pumice]

What is best gear set you can farm as a trial user?

[leaden ginkgo]

> is Clear Dementia for vendor only?

Clear dementia is used in crafting some EX weapons as well

False ignore this

[remote lintel]

shire

[leaden ginkgo]

And i assume you mean demimateria

It is? I thought that was battlecraft demimateria

Yeah

how can I regenerate GP faster if I'm gathering collectables? (I'm currently using cordials for 300gp, but I can't reach 600 for the next rotation)

[raw solstice]

clear demi is not used for crafting

[twilit arch]

clear demimateria is only for selling to vendors

its not used for crafting at all

[leaden ginkgo]

@leaden ginkgo

You can use hi cordials

Wtf am i thinking of?

But there's no way short of getting the shb perk

Whats the white one

Battlecraft demimateria lol

White is a totally separate demimateria

Demicrystal

Field is blue, battle is pink, and clear is yellow

Fuck me

which shb perk? at what level can I get that perk?

Ignore me then

I think it's like 78 for enhanced gp regen 2

Demicrystals were clear in appearance so i assumed...

So it's really a long ways off usually

oh, nvm then, thanks!

The best way to get gp is really just grinding through it via collecting

[gentle marten]

does nin always use aiming accessories?

i dunno what ironworks gear to get

[raw solstice]

yes

[remote lintel]

yes nin uses aiming

[lone spruce]

Also unrelated but are there any Haurchefant-related quests post-HW?

I want to give myself crippling depression

[remote lintel]

no but there are references

[lone spruce]

Quests that reference him? Which ones?

I latch onto that man’s name like a dying person in the desert is drawn to an oasis

[gentle marten]

felt that

|| pre hades cutscenes with ryne, when you get yoinked into the first for the first time ||

[lone spruce]

I’m too afraid to check that spoiler tag

[remote lintel]

it's shb spoilers

there are dialogue options where you can choose what he said

[leaden ginkgo]

Hmm

I just missed a fate reward for chocobo barding

Will I have to do it again or can I find it from the achievement vendor?

[remote lintel]

what fate

[open coral]

Which barding?

[leaden ginkgo]

Ala mhigan barding from Rattle and Humbaba

[twilit arch]

you'll have to do the fate again

[open coral]

Yeah, that's a specific FATE reward, not an achievement reward

[lone spruce]

Yeah I just finished HW don’t want any spoilers

[remote lintel]

the questline that recaps the dragonsong war talks about him

[wintry chasm]

^

Begins in the Fortemps Manor

[leaden ginkgo]

Big rip

[remote lintel]

I think you have to beat post HW to do it

[twilit arch]

just requires you to finish 3.3

[honest anvil]

Is the aug scaevan cane bad? cause it has no piety?

[manic schooner]

hey guys may i ask whats the aetheric disturbance for?

[wintry chasm]

Some quest or something I assume

[remote lintel]

white mage quest?

[wintry chasm]

It's something quest related

[manic schooner]

oh but i havent taken any WHM quest. ive just arrived in the churnin mists and found this on the ground not connected to any quests

[remote lintel]

oh

click it

@honest anvil no

[manic schooner]

i did, it only says theres some kinda unknown disturbance and does nothing

It's something quest related
@wintry chasm i see but im not on any quest

[wintry chasm]

Keep doing MSQ

[scarlet sandal]

Honestly I'm surprised that name wasn't taken already and you managed to get a hold of it

[wintry chasm]

I think you'll realise what it's about

[manic schooner]

i se, ok thanks

Honestly I'm surprised that name wasn't taken already and you managed to get a hold of it
@scarlet sandal actually i made this char 6 years ago, thats why i was able to create in Tonberry the most populated server, as well as snatch this name lol. I just came back recently like 2 weeks ago and im glad my char isstill alive

[scarlet sandal]

isee isee

[fast hull]

SAM question do you sacrifiec your stickers for Kenki?

[remote lintel]

once in your rotation

[manic schooner]

Yes. look at Fox's 16.7k dps rotation. He does

[little swift]

16.7k is quite low

but yes you do it once per minute to help you align your sen with tsubame-gaeshi

[remote lintel]

!faq samrotation

[zinc orbit]

Samurai Rotation Guide

[little swift]

thats what a filler phase is

[remote lintel]

tells you there

[fast hull]

is that applicable for 68

[little swift]

not really

[fast hull]

oh its a 76 skill

[little swift]

can be good to practice

but not a necessity

[rigid narwhal]

@manic schooner they just show up at the start of... that part of the msq. they will fade soon 😄 you'll see what they are

[manic schooner]

@manic schooner they just show up at the start of... that part of the msq. they will fade soon 😄 you'll see what they are
@rigid narwhal i see, thanks!

[upper pendant]

weird question but does anyone know if the katana in the very beginning of the ShB trailer is available in the game? During the square enix logo part

[manic schooner]

16.7k is quite low
@little swift really? but thats the average of a long striking dummy fights. but u can see it randomly fluctuates to like 24k at times

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OknZ7aIBQ1E&ab_channel=Hi_Im_Fox

[rigid narwhal]

that's last tier

[manic schooner]

tbh i havent seen any other class or sam rotation that beat this on a standard dummy

[little swift]

well geared samurai at current tier can comfortably hit much higher now

[fast hull]

will check it out after this alliance raid

[little swift]

also stone sky sea isn't a great measure of dps rotation

!faq sss

[zinc orbit]

Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS

1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk

[twilit arch]

probably Kiku-ichimonji, since they just use the artifact gear sets for those cinematics @upper pendant

[little swift]

great for opener practice though

[rigid narwhal]

@manic schooner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnOuXMs74IQ

[manic schooner]

also stone sky sea isn't a great measure of dps rotation
@little swift i see, wow didnt know this. i thought SSS was the golden standard

[little swift]

not at all

[rotund sable]

Most people pretend sss isn't real

[manic schooner]

@manic schooner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnOuXMs74IQ
@rigid narwhal wow. so 19.3k is the world's best SAM rotation right now?

[rotund sable]

People would rather someone that does 16k on a fight than 20k on a dummy and 14k on the boss

[upper pendant]

@twilit arch I think it might be trailer only :/ it has this really cool spear of longinus design

[raw solstice]

I wouldn't go by "random dps numbers I list on my video for clicks" as a relative measure of performance

[rotund sable]

I'd check fflogs for the teir

[raw solstice]

I'd just go for resources from the balance

[rotund sable]

That too

Balance resources for best case, fflogs for what you should expect on a certain fight

[raw solstice]

watching what someone does on fflogs for a specific fight isn't going to necessarily give a proper picture of what you should be doing overall

[rotund sable]

Oh not for rotation, just for a general performance gauge

For rotation balance easily

[robust crow]

i didn't watch that particular video but you have to remember that they could be getting a dancer buff

¯_(ツ)_/¯

18k DPS with, 15k DPS without

[rotund sable]

Sam can do 18k without dance partner

[robust crow]

indeed

but i'm saying just seeing the number can be misleading

[manic schooner]

i see, to anyone who's checked the logs, whats the best sam dps uve ever seen on an actual fight?

[robust crow]

for the final boss of this tier

if you want to be a top 5% samurai

you'd need to do that much personal damage

19.1k

[manic schooner]

wow thats insane.
final boss f this tier? are u referring to TEA?

[robust crow]

no

this is e8s

tea isn't "this tier" either

[manic schooner]

ohhh i see

[rotund sable]

Tea is last teir

[robust crow]

also e5s is much more commonly parsed on

[manic schooner]

may i ask what E8S stand for? i only know TEA

[robust crow]

eden 8 savage

this is for e5s, the first boss of this tier

you'd need to do 19.4k to be top 5%

[manic schooner]

ohhh i see.. so E8U is Eden 8 Ultimate?

[robust crow]

there is no eden 8 ultimate

[rotund sable]

There is n

Damn you're fast

[robust crow]

there are only 3 ultimate encounters in the game total

ucob, uwu, and tea

ucob and uwu are from stormblood

tea is the only shadowbringers ultimate

[manic schooner]

i seee... damn so many new acronyms xD

[little swift]

first letter denotes the series the raid is from

E for eden

o for omega

[robust crow]

i wouldn't even consider any ultimate right now if I were you

[little swift]

a for alexander

[robust crow]

at least clear e8s first

[little swift]

number denotes the floor

[robust crow]

before looking at tea

and maybe find a static

[little swift]

and n/s means normal or savage

[manic schooner]

i see, alright noted on that

thanks guys

[robust crow]

it's not uncommon for statics to get stuck on tea for literally months

tea is an 18 minute fight

[manic schooner]

eden 8 savage
@robust crow from ur charts, 20k dps is the best so far huh? wow. thats kinda challenging to beat

[robust crow]

if you think you are a "good" samurai, start by aiming for top 25%

[manic schooner]

Ohh i see, alright

[robust crow]

it's not really worth trying to go for top 5% without bis

[rotund sable]

Oftentimes numbers like that use some advanced uptime strats

[robust crow]

that margin is very very close

[manic schooner]

i assume samurai dishes the top dps possible rihgt now wc is 20k in E8S? followed by SMN and BLM?

[robust crow]

literally one or two crits at a good time could mean the difference

[rotund sable]

Like a paladin can cover + invuln so you stay in melee

[little swift]

a lot of babying of the parser as well

[rotund sable]

Yeah you parse one person at a time sometimes

[little swift]

you don't need to be top 25% to be considered good

[rotund sable]

Everything for one person's uptime

[robust crow]

yeah honestly I'd consider top 50% pretty good already

a blue parse is very respectable

[little swift]

people look for consistency rather than 1 lucky orange or whatever

[leaden ginkgo]

How do these work for ps4 players?

[robust crow]

you can't parse on ps4 period

[little swift]

you hope someone uploads a parse with you in it

[faint flare]

People parse for you

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahh

[rotund sable]

You get someone to parse for you

[manic schooner]

i see.. cant wait to be finally ready to take on those awesome raids... building my SAM as fast as i can since 2 weeks ago.

[robust crow]

if you are 480 ilevel

just go right into e5s

[little swift]

470 is the absolute min ilvl to hop into e5s

[robust crow]

it's less about gear and more about doing the mechanics

[little swift]

but most pfs may limit ilvl to 480 minimum

[manic schooner]

i see.. yea we might definitely need voice chat for full coordination

[cyan quest]

at least 470's easy to get. my pld and gnb's already there.

[little swift]

vc is not necessary

[manic schooner]

whats difficult is the language barrier if you team up with JP's

[rotund sable]

E5 you can comfortably do with 0 comms

[remote lintel]

480 is easy to get

[cyan quest]

I need better rings though...

[leaden ginkgo]

How does one find a static, exactly? Trial and error?

[manic schooner]

really? when do VC become necesary?

[little swift]

recruitment channels and what not

[rotund sable]

People just post a macro, you claim a spot and that's it

You go there

Last fight of the teir it helps, same so th ultimatele but afaik you never NEED vc

Heck you can macro callouts if you really hated talking

[little swift]

voice chat is nice

but there are plenty of people who are either hard of hearing/deaf or mute that clear this content as well

[manic schooner]

i see..
howabout TEA? VC is defeinitely a must there right?

[rotund sable]

No

[robust crow]

yeah, imo e5s is a relatively friendly introduction to savage raids

[rotund sable]

Again it's nice but you don't need voice ever

[robust crow]

it's not necessarily about needing voice

more importantly, you need a consistent group of 8 people

[manic schooner]

i see, thats quite unexpected

[raw solstice]

You're probably gonna want voice chat for ultimate though at least, particularly on certain roles

[rotund sable]

Very few reasons not to for ultimate

[raw solstice]

Not gonna say need but like, it's gonna be expected

[rotund sable]

But if you reallyyyyy couldn't it's not impossible

[gleaming mist]

you'll want to be in vc to listen to callouts at the minimum

[robust crow]

also if 7 out of 8 players are on VC and one isn't

you can be damn sure that if that one person who messed up a callout is going to get flak

[livid sinew]

do people pug savages often? or do they usually have their own group ready?

[manic schooner]

i see hahahaha alright thanks guys

[robust crow]

pugs happen all the time

well i guess today's a quiet night on aether

tuesday evenings tend to be the busiest

[little swift]

its also super late into the tier

[robust crow]

and later on in the week you'll see weaker and weaker players

[manic schooner]

guys do you know whats the difference bettwen PD and AA?

[slate arrow]

auto attack is how much damage you do every tick (about 3 seconds, not affected by skill speed)

damage is simply added to your attack skills, I think?

[leaden ginkgo]

did they even bring back any of the old stuff with the make it rain event?

[crisp ether]

i think its just the discounted stuff and the 3 new machines for your house

and a new /hmm emote for the quest

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay serious question: what on Titan's solid earth do I do with all this materia?

[ripe hound]

https://www.fflogs.com/reports/Wx6Lp1q7v9cwCMFZ
When parsing e6s, my enrage runs always says the boss still have somewhere around 40% health left.
Is this a bug because the pastaman's health doesn't start at 100%?
Does anyone know about this? I was worried that my encounters are split incorrectly

[olive inlet]

is there a way to turn off the gold saucer theme at the residential area (cause of the event)

[leaden ginkgo]

Maybe the citystate bgm?

You can change it to play the city state or same residential track

[twilit arch]

event music only plays in a specific part of the housing area

[manic schooner]

auto attack is how much damage you do every tick (about 3 seconds, not affected by skill speed)
@slate arrow oh i see. so AA cd is fixed at 3s and the AA stat affects that, while the PD stat affects skill dmg?

[slate arrow]

I think so? You should read the document I linked if you want to know more, all I know is bigger number does more damage.

You only really optimize the substats once you get to the max item level you can get

also, expansions standardize most of the stats

since FFXIV 1.0 had a lot of things "inspired" by 11 like shields having unique rates

[little swift]

@ripe hound make sure your act isn't starting a new encounter too early like in the middle of a transition

[manic schooner]

I think so? You should read the document I linked if you want to know more, all I know is bigger number does more damage.
@slate arrow ok thanks

[lost grove]

What quest do I need to unlock floor 51-60 in ptod?

[twilit arch]

What Lies Beneath

it should be from the expeditionary captain

[lost grove]

Oh ok

[proven sparrow]

best way to level dps while in dungeon queue level 30?

[crisp ether]

fates would be my guess

[gleaming mist]

can do fates while waiting for dungeon queue, or you could do potd instead if you want to level your dps

[proven sparrow]

what level aetherpool gear do i need to solo potd?

[ember light]

anyone know of a ff14 disocrd with active people in vc just wana chill and chat:/

[left cliff]

What is potd

[crisp ether]

palace of the dead

[left cliff]

Oh thanks

I unlocked it but haven’t tried to busy with msq

[crimson wind]

Can I use Synastry on a single target

rather than sharing it

[crisp ether]

!action synastry

[zinc orbit]

**Synastry** : lvl 50 AST (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Generate an aetheric bond with target party member. Each time you cast a single-target healing spell on yourself or a party member, the party member with whom you have the bond will also recover HP equaling 40% of the original spell.
Duration: 20s

Powered by XIVAPI

[crimson wind]

yes I can

Figured it out

Upon reading the tool tip more carefully

[leaden ginkgo]

are leves good to level my Lv.71 botanist? (I have 100 leve allowances)

[remote lintel]

yes

[stable hinge]

anyone here able to help me with gardening?

[warped nest]

@crimson wind I want to point out that if you synastry a party member, and then single target heal the same party member

They get both the heal and the 40 percent from synastry

[crimson wind]

I've been ignoring synastry this whole time when its that good

[scarlet hinge]

Any info on the rewards for the next nier raid?

[remote lintel]

no

puppet just came out not that long ago

[faint flare]

Other than 520 gear

There wont be anything on the next nier raid for awhile

Since thats in 5.5

[ripe hound]

What can I do with extra Yellow Gatherer and Crafter Scripts?

[faint flare]

Materia

Or mats to sell

[twilit arch]

sell materia or slithersand/hi cordials

[ripe hound]

Nice

[leaden ginkgo]

Come one, come all!
A special limited-time event has commenced in the halls of the Gold Saucer!

i dont get what to do at this point

[leaden ginkgo]

its in gold saucer

its happening each 20 mints

[halcyon glen]

@leaden ginkgo those are GATEs!

[remote lintel]

gates are special events

[halcyon glen]

They're Gold Saucer events - one happens every 20 minutes without fail

As a rule, they're fun minigames that reward MGP

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah

but where exactly are they

cause they dont mention the name

[mossy current]

There are a few of them

[honest anvil]

what’s the cheapest way to gear up lv60 gatherer retainers? to break the 700 gathering stats mark; gil vendor gears dont come close to it ...

[mossy current]

Some jumping challenges, some dodging ones, and some flying in a plane ones

Think of them as FATEs but in the gold Saucer

[leaden ginkgo]

@mossy current my question is

how do i know

which one is starting

[mossy current]

Uhm I think it's random, but I think "Slice is Right" is always at :40 mark?

[twilit arch]

No, not always

[mossy current]

Oh ok

[twilit arch]

This is the possible choices for the GATE that will happen

[manic schooner]

hey guys, is 190ms good enough for high-end raids?

[twilit arch]

GATEs are also shown on the map

and they announce which gate is starting

[brave glacier]

Guys, does anyone know how to solve this issue where the login doesnt appear?

[manic schooner]

also regardin this alliance raid, i dont quite get why most ppl just stand in the glowing panel and only a few actually fight the boss?

[remote lintel]

because you need 4 on the panel

[manic schooner]

ohh u need 4 to what?

[fast hull]

need 4 or other alliance atomos is invul

[remote lintel]

to unlock the boss for the other alliances

[faint flare]

If 4 people aren't on the panel, another alliances boss goes immune

[manic schooner]

ohhh lol i see, thanks hahaha

[remote lintel]

A unlocks B, B unlocks C, C unlocks A iirc

[fast hull]

like if another alliance yellow (I think thats alliance A) dont stand in pads then you cant attack

[manic schooner]

nice, interesting mechanics. im just kinda disappointed they dont put that in the description for new players to know

[remote lintel]

of course theyre not just going to tell you it

people have to figure it out

[manic schooner]

ohh i see, makes sense now that u put it that way

[fast hull]

but I am confused you pad is more than 4 o.O

[manic schooner]

so like when TEA was first release, ppl had no idea what the mechancs are?

[remote lintel]

nobodys knows what any mechanics are when new content is released

[mossy tartan]

Can you get bitter memories from unsync antitower?

[remote lintel]

they all figure it out

[twilit arch]

Well, not entirely

[manic schooner]

but I am confused you pad is more than 4 o.O
@fast hull i stayed there as the 5th one as i had no idea thats how it worked

[twilit arch]

People did have some vague idea because TEA uses mechanics from the alexander raids

[manic schooner]

i see, intresting..

[remote lintel]

well yeah some mechanics are similar

[twilit arch]

but they didn't know how exactly the puzzle worked tho

[remote lintel]

but for the most part

[fast hull]

I counted 6 (usually range/healers stays in pads) melee attack atomos

[manic schooner]

haha perhaps theres 2 of us who's new xD

[remote lintel]

youre also supposed to go to the area where your party is

[fast hull]

actually 7? names?

[remote lintel]

that doesnt look like your party

their names arent that blue

[manic schooner]

ohhh so u cant heal/buff another alliance's party?

[fast hull]

no

I mean buff that is

[remote lintel]

you can use direct heals

but if you put a heal aoe on the ground itll do nothing

[manic schooner]

ohh i see interesting...

how about resu?

[remote lintel]

yes

also there's 3 areas

3 alliances

left to right is A B C

just so you know where to go next time

[manic schooner]

i see.... interesting... not quite sure why they dont just allow AOE heals to be cross-alliance

Ohh ok noted

[remote lintel]

because that would be too easy

for any mechanics that require alliances to split up, the general rule is left to right is A B and C

[spare plinth]

did tsukuyomi somewhat foreshadowed the viera class with the bunny ears?

[twilit arch]

not really

[remote lintel]

no

tsukuyomi is based off japanese/chinese mythology of a goddess and rabbit on the moon

so she has bunny ears

[twilit arch]

god of the moon

[spare plinth]

huh

[remote lintel]

oh

in chinese its a female

[spare plinth]

so its just mere coincidence?

[twilit arch]

tsukuyomi and viera have nothing to do with each other

[sour ruin]

The Viera are lifted from another ff game

Tsuku is from Chinese myth

[spare plinth]

i feel like duties and dungeons are being mean to black mages by forcing them to move

[remote lintel]

thats kinda the point

[spare plinth]

sure i could use triplecast but i keep losing eno-chan

[remote lintel]

refresh your stacks

[twilit arch]

if you're dropping enochain

[spare plinth]

i heard in 78 you get a skill that does it

[remote lintel]

you can literally use triplecast to refresh

[twilit arch]

Then you're likely not making good use of skills available to you

[spare plinth]

transpose?

[remote lintel]

fire 1 refreshes fire

[twilit arch]

use triplecast or swiftcast

[remote lintel]

you should know this

by now

[spare plinth]

yea

[remote lintel]

so throw in fire 1 between 4s

transpose if you really really need to i guess

[spare plinth]

yea i usually use swiftcast if im at 1-2 seconds for f1

[leaden ginkgo]

So I have a botany question for HQ. At level 80, if I wanted to get HQ items as often as possible, is it just wearing the best gear and using Leaf Storm 3?

[manic schooner]

guys have u noticed the ironworks gear set puchaseable via poetics have no materia slots at all? is there a way to add materia sockets to them?

[leaden ginkgo]

It's not an issue for ironworks tier tbh

[remote lintel]

you can ignore melding until 80

and no you cant add slots

[manic schooner]

ok thanks

im just a bit concern cuz i have tons of unused materia

lol

[remote lintel]

sell

[manic schooner]

ohhh to MB or NPC?

[remote lintel]

mb

[leaden ginkgo]

Is that really the only use for materia now?

[manic schooner]

ok thanks

[remote lintel]

low level ones sure, or you can use them for ARR relic

[leaden ginkgo]

Why did they even change materia extraction?

[remote lintel]

what you mean change

[leaden ginkgo]

It used to destroy the equipment when you converted it into materia

[remote lintel]

a long time ago?

[leaden ginkgo]

Like as of 2018 lol

[remote lintel]

havent played for that long so idk

[twilit arch]

Cos it lets you get both the materia and be able to desynth/convert to seals

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, but now materia is ridiculously common

[twilit arch]

which is hardly a bad thing

especially given that basically all gear as a meld slot on it, you should have melds in at max lvl

[leaden ginkgo]

I dunno about the current tier of materia, but the scarcity helped keep prices somewhat decent depending on the tier before the change

[twilit arch]

t6 wasn't really that scarce either

and low lvl materia being more plentiful means that doing ARR relic isn't quite as painful as before, tbh doesnt really matter if those tiers are plentiful or not

t7/8s still sell decently, especially at the start of a new tier when a lot of serious raiders are going to be pentamelding

[leaden ginkgo]

https://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/t/415006feb40a076a0ff3e4de9d3ab17929be825d_4.jpg?1603263873

so uh

why does that moogle look like its humping the coach

[manic schooner]

is that a 4-man mount

[leaden ginkgo]

oh this isnt memes ooops

[twilit arch]

no, its just an outdoor furnishing

[leaden ginkgo]

ignore me thank you

[manic schooner]

oh i see, i heard there are mounts that can carry multiple people. wonder how that works

[leaden ginkgo]

there's a option when you right click the person on the mount

you can then pick a seat

[manic schooner]

ohh and it send the owner permissio for u to come aboard?

[twilit arch]

no, you just automatically are placed on the mount

[leaden ginkgo]

im not sure how the perms work

[twilit arch]

you have to be in the same party as the person

so its not like any random person can mount up on a multiseater mount

[manic schooner]

ohhhhh i see so that party mechanic serves as key to ride permison

awesome

[oblique trellis]

am I missing something? Do I need all aether currents in an area to fly?

[leaden ginkgo]

ye

[oblique trellis]

How am I supposed to get this one? It's too high

[leaden ginkgo]

10 currents found in an area, 4 from side quests, 1 from msq

[twilit arch]

to the side of the house

there's a way up

[oblique trellis]

The side with the stairs? Door doesn't open and I can't get on roof =\

ohhhh

got some platforming stuff goin on here, gotta slide along the edge 😦

I kept trying to jump on the roof

[gentle quarry]

You have to jump form the balcony onto the window ledge

and then walk around the house

Start from the left of that current

[oblique trellis]

yea got it now thx didn't figure I could stand on that

Can I set Minions on fire? Last thing I need is a 2nd Alphinaud

[sinful wolf]

im in the masquerade manor and i lost the option to untransform is there a way to do it without the hotbar

[fast hull]

[plain python]

[faint flare]

Some Warg armour from Grand Cosmos has a tail

!iglam Warg Jacket of Aiming

[twilit arch]

there's also the blm pvp set

!iglam Wolfliege Coat

[zinc orbit]

**Wolfliege Coat** **:** Body

[plain python]

you cannot dye those, right?

[remote lintel]

the wolfliege coat you can

[thorny jungle]

Why are queue times for DPS so long like I want to pick one up but it takes so long to do a dungeon

[plain python]

you need tank + healer. They are rarer to come by

the only DPS that can level up comfortably is Summoner, cuz it shares level with Scholar, which is a healer class

for other DPS class, either PoTD, or squadron spam.

[gentle quarry]

It's the DPS tax

[thorny jungle]

I usually main Tanks or healers but I wanna branch out but 15 queue times suck

[plain python]

if you queue as DPS, try to find something else to do meanwhile

[warped nest]

Combination of more players playing Dps only, players trying to level Dps, and there are more DPS jobs compared to healer/tank

[plain python]

like filling up hunting logs, crafting/gathering

or level a Blue mage

[oblique trellis]

are you level 80 Versa?

[spare plinth]

Are people still butthurt that ast got a card revamp?

[thorny jungle]

My tank is

[spare plinth]

As in shb completely changed the cards system

[little swift]

yes people are upset

[oblique trellis]

I didn't start AST yet so I'm not mad cause idk the diff

[spare plinth]

Me neither

[little swift]

but also people didn't always fully get it

they didn't change the system

moreso they simiplified it

[spare plinth]

I heard people were upset that the cards got changed and still liked how they had to draw for balance and get an aoe of the cards effect with royal road

[plain python]

I play AST after the revamp. A bit disappointing how cards work, but I dunno know how it was in the past. For now, I can only AST as a flexbile healer (can be regen or shield) with DPS buff. Still prefer my WHM over it.

[silver ruin]

has playdead ever been an event item? or just solely a mog station item?

[spare plinth]

I imagine it’s supposed to be a bit easier

[twilit arch]

its only ever been a mogstation item

[silver ruin]

ok thanks

[spare plinth]

Maybe because spire used to restore tp which is gone in shb

And yoshi p had to figure out what to do with it

[little swift]

people rarely played the other cards besides spear/balance/arrow for their actual effects

they held it for the expansion effect/lord/lady

not to say those cards didn't have a use

[vivid wolf]

does transferring to a pref world give you the boost or not?

[remote lintel]

no

[little swift]

but balance fishing is what this currently simplifies

[vivid wolf]

alright, so once the boost is gone, it wont return?

[remote lintel]

correct

[little swift]

you do get it for a long long time

[vivid wolf]

2-3 months i think

[remote lintel]

3

[plain python]

what TP did in the past?

[remote lintel]

it was like stamina

[plain python]

like an extra mana bar?

[remote lintel]

no

[twilit arch]

it was basically mana for melee users

[gloomy ice]

Magic cost MP, physical cost TP

[little swift]

it limited physical jobs' use of aoe

[leaden ginkgo]

TP was dumb af

[plain python]

outside of werewolf ears, I read that there are fox ears. Any other?

[remote lintel]

not that cover ears

[plain python]

still cute to have so I don't mind

[remote lintel]

theres bunny ones

[brave glacier]

anyone knows how to solve error 90006 and error 2002?

[remote lintel]

2002 means you cant connect to the lobby server

[brave glacier]

yeah but I'm not sure why that is

was playing fine forever then was suddenly booted out today

[queen flame]

I just finished the MSQ of ARR. When can I do the rest of my Warrior quests to get my lvl 50-60 skills?

[fast hull]

you mean Post ARR right?

[queen flame]

Yeah?

[remote lintel]

when you get to HW

[fast hull]

in Ishgard

[queen flame]

Really? I have to do all of the patches first before I can do my quests?

[fast hull]

also you would know if under the main quest there is a job quest below

[remote lintel]

yes

you're on post ARR

[queen flame]

oh, so 50-60 is HW

I see

[fast hull]

some of the job quest are locked into maps in HW

[brave glacier]

you've to complete the quest Before the Dawn and also the crystal palace questline before you can do the lvl 50+ warrior q

[oblique trellis]

Yay finally my first HW dungeon (sorry I know this isn't a question, but everyone ignores me in main chat)

[brave glacier]

congrats on first HW dungeon 😄

[manic schooner]

guys what is this potion for and why is it in the rotation?

[west spruce]

free dmg

[remote lintel]

potion of strength

used in raiding

dont worry about it if youre not progging raids

[manic schooner]

i see, but why use it in the middle of the rotation?

why not before start of battle

[remote lintel]

to fit your burst window into the potion window

[twilit arch]

they only have like 15/30s duration

[manic schooner]

ohhh i see that explains it. i thought it lasts 30m like most food

[little swift]

they last 30 seconds so you want it on the important parts of the rotation

like slightly before your burst

and well into it

they have a 5 minute cooldown

[manic schooner]

i see.. whats the CD of that?

ohhh thats quite long

[little swift]

so you can use it again midway through the fight

[remote lintel]

yes

so you have to time when you want it

[little swift]

basically you use it at the opener

and then 5 minutes in at the raid buffs

or around whne you do a reopener

[manic schooner]

i see.. alright thanks

[patent citrus]

hmm what's the best usage of my no longer useful neo ishgardian gear?

can i convert it to envelope again and trade to something else 😂

[plain python]

Is it worth to collect/craft collectiables in HW with lv55 vendor gear? Or should I wait till lv60 item?

[twilit arch]

no, the tokens are only for augmenting neo ish

basically either chuck on to retainer to boost their ilv/save for glamour or wait til can exchange for seals

[patent citrus]

oo

yea my retainr is a healer and it's a tank gear T_T

exchange for seals?

you mean grand company seal?

[robust crow]

gc seals

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

[robust crow]

desynth it? idk
