[robust crow]

lol

[patent citrus]

i can actually get seals from it now hehe

not sure when they changed it

[twilit arch]

probably 5.3

usually add thsoe to gc seals a patch later

[vocal star]

what's the highest floor of potd you get get on free trial

[patent citrus]

eh?

max level 60 right?

so probably that

[remote lintel]

there is no max floor for free trial

you get all of it

[patent citrus]

but don't your skill is sync'd to the floor you are in?

[fast hull]

how could I get the dwarf robot frog mount

[remote lintel]

be in shadowbringers

@patent citrus yes

[patent citrus]

since they can't access above skill lv 60, won't it make them unable to climb higher?

or potd bypass that restriction?

[remote lintel]

there are 300 floors

but the max lvl is 60

for everyone

[patent citrus]

ahh i get it now

ty ty

[obsidian patio]

200*

[remote lintel]

close enough

[obsidian patio]

300 would take a literal day to go through ;-;

[hazy sinew]

Can archers have any other jobs except bard?

[patent citrus]

no, just bard

[remote lintel]

jobs are fixed

except arcanist

[fast hull]

so according to the wiki I need to do special fates? in order to get the mount (Ironmover frog mount). Is it soloable or I need a group to get it?

[obsidian patio]

Group

[twilit arch]

you need a group

its a world boss fate

[leaden ginkgo]

whats the best minion to use

for verminion

[hazy sinew]

That kinda sucks

[fast hull]

@hazy sinew technically after finishing that job quest, you can switch any job on that 1 character

so you don't need to be a bard forever can switch anything you want

[obsidian patio]

@leaden ginkgo http://www.ffxiverminion.com/guides

Follow this if you’re trying to do the challenges

[stable hinge]

how do I make a training dummy lv80?

[obsidian patio]

As for player vs player matches, no idea at all.

[robust crow]

only certain training dummies are level 80

iirc the level 80 one is bought with nut sacks

at the hunt trader

[stable hinge]

my resources

[twilit arch]

it really doesn't matter if the dummy is 1 or 80, tbh if you're practicing your rotation

assuming you, yourself, are at 80 (matters if you're not max since you have a chance to miss)

[stable hinge]

True

[robust crow]

yeah i'm sure if you run around your housing ward you'll see one everywhere

[stable hinge]

True

I guess ill have to steal my neighbours one

[vapid magnet]

Lol yeah my neighbour always sees me outside her house using her dummies

[verbal rune]

So how easy are glamour prism to get for someone in the free trial version (i.e. no market access)?

[twilit arch]

fairly easy, just need to get to sergeant second class in your grand company to unlock expert deliveries

then you can turn in dungeon gear for seals and use those to buy prisms

[verbal rune]

I guess I need to get in a company asap then

[little swift]

you're locked behind msq before you can join a grand company anyways

lv20 msq is around the time you can join

[remote lintel]

youre forced to join anyway

just keep playing

[verbal rune]

I'm close then, thanks for the info

[queen flame]

Bit of a silly question, but if I have multiple cooldowns that kind of do the same thing, like reduce dmg by 20%, 30%, etc. Which one should I use first, the one with the shortest cooldown or longest cooldown?

[remote lintel]

which cooldowns

[queen flame]

Like tank cooldowns, rampart, thrill of battle, vengeance

[robust crow]

ideally you're supposed to use whatever you think is appropriate for the situation

if you think you're about to take big damage, use the 30%

[remote lintel]

they do different things

vengeance deals dmg

thrill of battle heals

[robust crow]

also, regarding tanking dungeons

don't forget that arm's length is also a damage reduction cooldown

[queen flame]

Yeah, but if a boss does a tank buster every one minute, you just kind of use one after the other

Just trying to figure out which one to use first,

[queen cove]

For fun and memes Vengeance reflected damage can direct crit if you use it under inner release

[remote lintel]

if you need damage do vengeance

if you need health do thrill

[hazy sinew]

@fast hull Yeah I know that, but I thought Archers have more jobs

[remote lintel]

each class has 1 job except arcanist

[slate arrow]

jobs are per character, not per class

and yeah, with the exception of arcanist, every class goes to a single job

[hazy sinew]

Oh

[remote lintel]

it's a fixed path

[hazy sinew]

So like

What is best for an arecher to have as a second job?

[slate arrow]

none

[remote lintel]

what

[slate arrow]

just go unlock bard at level 30

[remote lintel]

it doesn't matter

[shrewd owl]

archer just turns into bard

[hazy sinew]

And when should I start leveling it the best?

[remote lintel]

when you want to?

[slate arrow]

whenever the fuck you want

[hazy sinew]

I am lvl 50

I already have bard

[remote lintel]

then......you already have archer

[hazy sinew]

But I am getting a bit bored of it

[slate arrow]

bard is archer

[hazy sinew]

I know I can be other things, like dancer, rouge etc

[twilit arch]

then go with whatever looks interesting

[remote lintel]

dancer unlocks at 60

[slate arrow]

Expansion jobs do not have a class prereq

[twilit arch]

What other jobs you go with don't affect your current job

[slate arrow]

only need to have a single job at the unlock level

[shrewd owl]

also have shadowbringers for dancer

[twilit arch]

just potentially makes gearing alts easier

[remote lintel]

each job is almost like its own character

they're completely independent

[twilit arch]

since jobs share gear with in a role arctype

[hazy sinew]

Currently I am stuck on main scenario quests on lvl 50

There are so many

[remote lintel]

look at the video in the pins

for jobs

[slate arrow]

If you own Stormblood, you can unlock Red Mage or Samurai in Ul'Dah

[hazy sinew]

But I was wondering when is the right time to start leveling something else, should I finish till 80 and then start something new ?

[slate arrow]

up to you

[remote lintel]

whenever

you want

there is no right time

if you want to do it just do it

[hazy sinew]

Is samurai a dps?

[remote lintel]

yes

[slate arrow]

yes

[hazy sinew]

I started rouge cuz I found ninja interesting, but people say samurai is better

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

Click here for the best jobs in the game though

[robust crow]

it's not about what's better

yeah

just play what you like the most

[hazy sinew]

Okay

[remote lintel]

they're all good

[robust crow]

ninja is a very fast class however

they're faster than most other classes in the game

they press a lot of buttons

[stable hinge]

oh boy best jobs in the game!

[slate arrow]

Except for Dragoon, every Melee DPS has a buff granted by their rotations or a skill which speed up the GCD

[hazy sinew]

I am a slow reaction kinda girl so that would be a problem hahhaha

[slate arrow]

You play BRD which is the definition of reactive gameplay

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[robust crow]

you'll need some practice on ninja for sure

[stable hinge]

anyone able to help me with gardening? I am completely clueless when it comes to crossbreeding and stuff

[robust crow]

what questions do you have on gardening?

crossbreeding is really simple

2 plants next to each other = chance to crossbreed

using grade 3 thanalan topsoil increases the chance to crossbreed

that's pretty much it

[stable hinge]

so
1 - 2 - x
1 - 2 - x
1 - 2 - x

x is the crossbreed?

[robust crow]

not quite

[leaden ginkgo]

do u benefit anything from clearing verminion other then challenge log mgp weekly ?

[jade quartz]

no

[robust crow]

if you plant like that formation

[slate arrow]

https://www.ffxivgardening.com/cross-diagrams

[jade quartz]

1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2

[robust crow]

yeah, like that

[jade quartz]

when you harvest, you may receive seeds.

[robust crow]

you get the crossbreed seed when you harvest the plant

[jade quartz]

That's how crossbreeding works

[robust crow]

the crossbreed you get is determined as soon as you plant the seed

[stable hinge]

ah I see

[robust crow]

which means the first seed you plant in a plot will not cross

because nothing is next to it

but the 2nd and onward will have a chance to cross

a lot of people dig up the 1st seed and replant it for this reason

[hazy sinew]

You play BRD which is the definition of reactive gameplay
@slate arrow When I started playing I did not look at guides or anything, i sjut picked what looked cool lol

[slate arrow]

I can give you a quick run down on how Bard works if that's okay

[stable hinge]

so do i just go tomato coerthan tea and repeat

[robust crow]

lusi, ninja is often considered one of the harder classes in the game

in contrast, dancer and red mage are often considered two of the easier classes

[remote lintel]

ninja isn't too hard

[slate arrow]

Ninja's complexity comes from the Mudra system which allows you to get up to 11(?) skills depending on the combo

[jade quartz]

6

[slate arrow]

however the only thing that really determines the skill is the number of mudras and the last mudra used

[hazy sinew]

Oh

[slate arrow]

since you can only hit each mudra once, or else you fail and waste a mudra charge

[hazy sinew]

ok continue

[stable hinge]

I started ninja as soon as i was able to so i find it very easy

[jade quartz]

Ah, seven actually

[stable hinge]

just gotta remember ten chi jin mostly

what mudras and order to use em

[jade quartz]

there are seven ninjutsu

[robust crow]

@stable hinge

this is one of the plots i'm working on

[slate arrow]

Bard is fun, but especially at higher levels you'll have to react to whenever your songs proc repitour

[robust crow]

notice how everything is mixed up

[stable hinge]

1 is different fron 2 and 3

yeah

[robust crow]

1 is a basic crossbreed

2 and 3 are more advanced crossbreeds

[limber kindle]

2&3 is poor man's crossbreed 😛

[stable hinge]

which is better for yield?

[robust crow]

2 and 3 are that way because there's 5 chances to crossbreed

[jade quartz]

2/3 is better if you want to leave one of the crops in place forever and only harvest the other.

[robust crow]

if you set up like 1, you either get 4 or 8 chances to cross depending on your strategy

[hazy sinew]

That is what I am still confused of, Idk how to use the songs properly, tbh I am just spemming keys evey fight, which I know it is bad, that is why I came here, to see if I can learn more @slate arrow

The Pursuit of Comfiness - 5.X BRD Guide

[jade quartz]

Immerse yourself in that

[slate arrow]

@hazy sinew Basically, Bard works on a priority system for GCDs, and a rotation for your OGCDs

[stable hinge]

does it matter which seed you select to be 1 or 2

[remote lintel]

it's purple > green > yellow for single target iirc

[robust crow]

for the 1st plot no it doesn't matter what seed is first

[jade quartz]

The song rotation for single target is open with Wanderer's Minuet -> Mage's Ballad when it runs out -> Army's Paeon.

[stable hinge]

Thanks

[slate arrow]

For the most part, you want to almost always have a song up to take advantage of both the partywide DPS buff + procs that are granted

[robust crow]

for 2 and 3, it could matter since usually the 3 plants that never get harvested are the expensive seeds

[jade quartz]

When Army's Paeon has 10 seconds left (i.e. when Wanderer's Minuet is off cooldown) then you cut off the last ten seconds of Army's and to Wanderer's again

[robust crow]

so you don't ever harvest those

[drifting burrow]

hi is the recruit a friend buff available if my friend already bought the game

[robust crow]

and then you try to cross from the other 5 plots

[slate arrow]

you get procs sometimes when your Damage over Time skills tick every 3 seconds

[remote lintel]

@drifting burrow if they haven't bought time yes

[limber kindle]

@drifting burrow bought the game? yes, if they haven't paid for time yet, no

[slate arrow]

Bard at endgame is mainly about smart uses of your Song Skills without wasting procs

[jade quartz]

That answer doesn't make sense Moogle

[slate arrow]

!action Bloodletter

[zinc orbit]

**Bloodletter** : lvl 12 ARC BRD (15.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 150.
Shares a recast timer with Rain of Death.

Powered by XIVAPI

[slate arrow]

as an example,

[hazy sinew]

aaahhh I see

[slate arrow]

Mage's Ballad makes it so that when it's up, if your Poison Bite or Wind Bite inflicts DoT damage, there's a 20% (up to 40%) chance per proc for it to refresh to 1 second

[hazy sinew]

Yeah now it more clear ty

[slate arrow]

So with both wind and poison up, you have a 40% chance every 3 seconds for Bloodletter to refresh

(up to 80, with a trait gained in Stormblood)

[hazy sinew]

Currently this is how my bar looks like

[slate arrow]

This is a very basic explanation, and I do recommend looking through the guide linked above if you want to learn mroe

But more or less

[drifting burrow]

how many golden feathers is needed for the two seat chocobo mount?

[slate arrow]

keep dots up > keep song up > don't waste procs if you can

[quiet cipher]

i just finished the last of the msq and now i feel very overwhelmed by all the content to do 😫

[drifting burrow]

actually, how many golden chocobo feathers do i get for recruiting a friend?

[robust crow]

lusi you may want to allocate more space on your hotbars

[limber kindle]

@drifting burrow depends on how long they stay subbed for

[little swift]

its 8 chocobo feathers for the mount kate

[robust crow]

this is what my hotbars look like, for example

[quiet cipher]

what’s the benefit of spacing out a hotbar like that?

[robust crow]

although I haven't played bard in quite some time

[hazy sinew]

keep dots up > keep song up > don't waste procs if you can
@slate arrow Yes I will check it all out after work, thank you all for the help

[robust crow]

you'll get a lot more skills

[limber kindle]

You know what types of abilities are where @quiet cipher

[slate arrow]

👌

[quiet cipher]

fair

i play warrior i wouldn’t relate 😅

one button is relevant to me

[limber kindle]

as a WHM, my most used heals/spells are on the very left. less frequent are in the middle, and uncommon are on the right.

[hazy sinew]

@robust crow where are you from? (asking bc of time zones)

[stable hinge]

do you have to reapply topsoil after every harvest?

[slate arrow]

yes

[stable hinge]

Ok

[slate arrow]

Anyone that might know why I had to activate my VPN to get the launcher to verify its version? It kept giving me an error otherwise

[slate arrow]

it's just the FFXIV launcher throwing a fit

[limber kindle]

Never happened before.

Fair enough, thanks =]

[slate arrow]

I wish I had a better answer but like

this game is sometimes made of twine and duct tape

[limber kindle]

Lol, I believe that's probably the best answer

[hazy sinew]

@robust crow I would love if you would help me out on the bars, I still dunno what abilities are strong and what aren't

[livid storm]

How do I get a recruit code?

[verbal rune]

I can access the dark knight and machinist job as soon as I get to lvl 30, without being in Heavensward, right?

[jade quartz]

nope

[slate arrow]

All abilities are relevant on Bard, but there's a few support skills you can skip on if you're not comfortable. @hazy sinew

[jade quartz]

the unlock quests are physically located in Ishgard.

you must be in Heavensward

same for astrologian

[hazy sinew]

I have all expansions btw

[warped nest]

The lvl 30 is the starting level of DRK, AST, MCH

[hazy sinew]

Just to note it

[slate arrow]

👌

[warped nest]

The quests to unlock them are lvl 50

And are physically inside Heavensward starting city

[hazy sinew]

@slate arrow I guess imma just read the guide, but if there is any more questions will let you guys kno

[slate arrow]

Aight. All the jobs can be overwhelming at a glance but once you learn it it's oh so satisfying :comfy:

[twilit schooner]

What's the way through the dullahans for third time's the charm in bozja?

i got one shotted trying to run through them

[slate arrow]

@twilit schooner walk

use the toggle walk button and don't aggro the mobs outside

IIRC, they have blood and sound aggro

blood being if you're being attacked

and sound is if you're running/sprinting

[robust crow]

@hazy sinew sorry about that lol I was in a fight

[twilit schooner]

huh ok thanks

[robust crow]

my bars are unique because they rely on having a 12 button mouse

[little swift]

you can always flip through #protips-and-ui for inspiration

[robust crow]

but yes let's move there

[hazy sinew]

I have a mouse @robust crow with 12 buttons too

[little swift]

layouts are pretty personal to each player

[robust crow]

if we talk UI

[slate arrow]

i wanna show off, one second

[little swift]

things that work for some won't work for others

one thing i would say is that you might wnat to reorder your skills

[stable hinge]

does harvesting a crop give you the crops seeds as well?

[little swift]

and move your hotbars away from the top of your screen

[slate arrow]

right side is entirely utility, but it's how I save space for my actually button pressing buttons

[raven star]

What is the name of the bait that works for all fish below a certain level?

[slate arrow]

versatile lure?

sold by the ocean fishing vendor in limsa

[split thunder]

i did the quest leading upto the resistance weapon ages ago and got a real bad memory. is there anywhere to see what the story is going into it?

[raven star]

Ty ^^

This?

[slate arrow]

@split thunder not in New Game + yet, but you can look at the quest log, the Cutscene thing in an Inn, or on stuff like Gamerescape

@raven star yep

[wintry chasm]

i did the quest leading upto the resistance weapon ages ago and got a real bad memory. is there anywhere to see what the story is going into it?
I know Ethys Asher did a part 1 to that questline for recap purposes.

[raven star]

Thanks!

[wintry chasm]

Also to be fair like...most of that dialogue is just talking to NPCs

[split thunder]

ah ok no worries i might look him up then

[verbal rune]

So, quick question about glamour. If Increate a glamour set/plate at the inn, can I use it on every gear I wear, or is it locked to the gear I'm wearing at the moment I apply it?

[jade quartz]

Note that the universal baits and lures like that are actually kinda more trouble than they're worth. @raven star the fact that they can be used to catch anything means that you can't narrow it down to specific fish

[slate arrow]

you can use it anytime in a city state zone

[jade quartz]

so instead of using a certain bait to get certain fish, you'll just be catching everything that's at that location

[slate arrow]

the plate won't unapply until you use a dispeller though

[jade quartz]

including like, level 1 fish that are much poorer exp

[slate arrow]

but you can always override glamours with another one

[stable hinge]

does the direction the patch is facing matter?

[slate arrow]

no

[stable hinge]

Ok ty

[verbal rune]

Ok, good to know

[jaunty gorge]

How do you level an alt past 70?

Ive been spamming hoh on my gunbreaker and i just hit 69

[slate arrow]

level 69 dungeon to 71, then dungeons, trusts, or Bozja Southern Front

[little swift]

use dungeons

beast tribes are also really good

[hardy gazelle]

I uh, havent unlocked any beast tribea

[little swift]

you're playing a tank

[hardy gazelle]

Ill try the 69 dungeon, thanks

[little swift]

you shouldn't use deep dungeon, the queues are short enough in general

[hardy gazelle]

I like the deep dungeon ngl

I enjoyed 2 mil xp for 15 mins of work

[slate arrow]

but the level 69 dungeon gives more for the same or less

I think, I need to do the math

[hardy gazelle]

Ill def give it a shot

Probably more

Its also probably better practice

HoH makes bad habits

[little swift]

its fine if you like it

level the way you want

[lone spruce]

HW spoilers. I'm like 90% sure this isn't what the JP dialogue says, but can anyone confirm?

just if you're after speed its not as fast

Hello! Does anyone know how bad the lag would be if someone in the UK joined an oceanic server such as Kujata?

[slate arrow]

I'd recommend pinging the servers through command prompt before doing so

Q: How do i check my ping to the servers?

1. Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)

Okay, thank you! I shall try this c":

[verbal rune]

So, for low level dungeon it's normal that my queue time is around 10-15 minutes, right?

[gentle quarry]

as a DPS? yes that's normal

[verbal rune]

Yeah, as a dps

Rip, I'll roll with it

[glossy flare]

You can have somewhat better luck around reset time when queuing for specific dungeons

But even then it's a gamble

[warped nest]

10-15 minutes average is very good time for DPS

[verbal rune]

Yeah, I'll get used to waiting then

That, or level paladin as a second job just in case

[gentle quarry]

Eh if you're levelling I just use the queue time to farm something else

[verbal rune]

If I start queue as a dps, then switch class, do I enter the dungeon with the job I started the queue?

[slate arrow]

you have to

What is traps

[obsidian patio]

In the context of palace of the dead/heaven on high? Basically what they sound like. Invisible things on the floor that cause bad stuff to happen

!faq POTD

[zinc orbit]

Deep Dungeon Info

Deep Dungeon Play Guide

Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.

For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.

[robust crow]

in the context of FF14 raids, it's a person who is preventing the rest of the raid from clearing the fight

i.e. if someone has died to the same mechanic numerous times even though they say they know that mechanic

[stray kiln]

can free trial users go to POTD?

[robust crow]

they're trapping the group

What races were available in 1.0

[gentle quarry]

Hyur, Elezen, Lalafell, Miqo'te Roegadyn

though there was no Male Miqo'te, Female Roegadyn or Female Highlander Hyur

[warped nest]

Oddly specific

[gentle quarry]

yeah idk why they didn't have them from the beginning

[scarlet hinge]

so the gc leaders weren't a thing?

[gentle quarry]

Merlwyb's there just you can't play as female roe

[scarlet hinge]

thats wack lol

i see why they considered it unfi

lol

yoshi p really improved it

[wintry chasm]

I mean

[gentle quarry]

that's the leats of 1.0 problems

[wintry chasm]

The GC leaders weren't a thing until Yoshi P took over anyway

Like, pre-Yoshi P there wasn't a single female roe

also no fem highlander is probably why Minfilia and Yda use midlander models

[analog gate]

the other two leaders aren't in the playable races roster right?

[wintry chasm]

Kan-E is a Padjal so not playable and Nanamo is Lalafell (and Raubahn is a highlander) so playable

[analog gate]

you can make a highlander as big as raubahn?

[wintry chasm]

🤔 I'm not actually sure how big Raubahn is but yeah okay he is pretty custom

Viera girls are lit

I can't be anything else haha

[verbal rune]

Locked behind shadowbringer too

[gentle quarry]

yep

cause it was introduced with the xpac

[fiery falcon]

So in the golden saucer, there was this thing where you have to shoot targets and avoid certain targets

i can not for the life of me find it again

was it just a one time thing or am i just blind 👀 ?

[twilit arch]

its called Air Force One, its one of the gates

they happen every 20 mins

[fiery falcon]

ahh thanks!

Is there a way to see a timer or anything? to see how long is left?

[twilit arch]

its every 20mins real time

so top of the hour, :20 and :40

[honest anvil]

Does alliance raid roulette have the SB raids?

[twilit arch]

yes

[plain python]

is there anything in the halloween instance?

[verbal rune]

So out of curiosity, when do you get a job specific clothes? (As In the dragoon armor, the dark knight armor, the bard clothes and etc). Are they the reward of the higher job quests?

[twilit arch]

45/50/60/70/80

not every job though is going to get a job specific set though, since they weren't part of that level cap

i.e dancer doesn't get a set at 70 because it wasn't part of stormblood

[slate arrow]

HW jobs don't have level 50 armor, Stormblood has no 60 armor, etc etc etc

[verbal rune]

I guess I'm a long way off then

Does this work?

[gentle quarry]

ACT works yes

[bronze narwhal]

guys, there's gonna be another gear after neo ishgardian before new expansion right? I kindda want to save my money before gearing every classes

[twilit arch]

yes, 5.4 is gonna have another set

you could just farm an eden verse set while you're working on capping allegory and get your weekly piece of gear from puppet's

[bronze narwhal]

hmm I completed my puppet gear with augment neo ishgard accessory, I hope its good for next content

basically 490

[quaint flicker]

For DRG, I read you're supposed to do Geirskogul before Mirage Dive to align Life of the Dragon with buffs. Do I have to stick with that order for the entire run after the opener?

[plain python]

this year has no halloween event?

[jade quartz]

Next tier of content comes with new tiers of gear

No Momo

[bronze narwhal]

yeah I mean, you need a decent gear to farm next gear

[twilit arch]

490 is gonna be more than enough for normal mode of the next tier

[jade quartz]

5.4 will come with i510 crafted gear, later augmentable to 520

[plain python]

the only reward for All Saint's Wake this year is an emote?

[twilit arch]

There is no all saint's this year

[kind eagle]

What is this

[jade quartz]

There is no All Saint’s Wake, just Make It Rain

[bronze narwhal]

hmmmm should I save these phantasmagoria for augment those gears?

[kind eagle]

My download looks different from th video

[jade quartz]

No

There will be a new tomestone

Phantasmagoria will not be used

[bronze narwhal]

damn

[jade quartz]

But moreover the gear won’t be a thing for another whole patch

[bronze narwhal]

just like goetia?

[twilit arch]

we likely won't get an augmented version of the last crafting set

[stable hinge]

is 5.4 bringing new story?

[twilit arch]

yes hikari

[jade quartz]

Look, a new gear tier basically means starting from scratch

Possibly we won’t I suppose

[twilit arch]

wait nvm i forgot rakshasa augmented into yama

but either way

wont use phanta

it'd use allegory

[gentle quarry]

@kind eagle follow this guide: https://github.com/FFXIV-ACT/setup-guide

[jade quartz]

(Which will be uncapped)

[bronze narwhal]

wh

uncapped?

[jade quartz]

Yes

[twilit arch]

phanta will be replaced by allegory as the uncapped weekly

and we'll get a new weekly capped tomestone

[jade quartz]

There will be a new capped tomestone

[twilit arch]

to take allegory's spot

[bronze narwhal]

oh

[twilit arch]

saving your phanta now is just gonna give you a bit of allegory come 5.4

but its gonna be like a 3:1 exchange

[bronze narwhal]

aight thanks guys, this is the first time I catch up to the endgame content so, a lot been flowing to me

[jade quartz]

4:1 is the usual

[bronze narwhal]

back then poetic was life

also, the new raid gonna be on 5.4?

[quiet cipher]

is there any point to doing the level 50 relic weapons?

[bronze narwhal]

for glamour I suppose?

[glossy flare]

for glamour

but other than that, no

[quiet cipher]

true true..

[glossy flare]

Or for some achievements + title I suppose

Each job has a title for finishing the first step

[quiet cipher]

so for the higher tiers of weapon like it you dont need to do the previous ones

[glossy flare]

Each expansion relic is its own thing

They are not connected

[quiet cipher]

cool, so i should only worry about the SHB one then

[glossy flare]

Well they are connected in terms of story I suppose

[quiet cipher]

story

hmm

[twilit arch]

ehh

[glossy flare]

Yeah, recurring characters and all

[twilit arch]

not even really then

[glossy flare]

Though it's not much tbh

It's very basic

[quiet cipher]

i mean maybe ill go through the older ones when im bored one day

[twilit arch]

gerolt/rowena are reoccurring characters but thats like...pretty much it

[glossy flare]

It takes a lot of time and is very grindy

just FYI

[quiet cipher]

i heard

are the 80 ones worth?

well

worth is subjective

since its grindy

[glossy flare]

the lvl 80 healer relics are BiS currently

afaik

[quiet cipher]

im a warrior

[twilit arch]

yes, the 500 relics are pretty good

[glossy flare]

Other than that it's still an ilvl 500 weapon that kinda looks nice

So it is worth it

[quiet cipher]

so it is worth yeah

[twilit arch]

since they're gonna take less time to get than the crystarium weapon

[bronze narwhal]

lv80 relic is good, you might want to start it. dunno if bozjan gonna be quiet like eureka someday

[twilit arch]

And 505 requires you to do savage

[quiet cipher]

man

[glossy flare]

I mean right now you can do the relic without setting foot in Bozja

We'll see if it stays that way

[quiet cipher]

ive been hearing a lot about the southern front, whats it for?

sorry for grilling you with so many simple questions lol

[bronze narwhal]

hopefully they learnt from eureka

[twilit arch]

no reason to assume it won't

[mossy tartan]

What’s the potency of fey union?

[jade quartz]

Relic, story, leveling

[glossy flare]

It's a special zone connected to the ShB relic weapons

[twilit arch]

since they said repeatedly you wont have to do bozja to complete the relic

[glossy flare]

true

@mossy tartan 400

[jade quartz]

Mounts and gear and minions

[glossy flare]

you can check your faerie skills in your actions/traits menu

they'll be listed under your pet since they execute it

[bronze narwhal]

well this weapon gonna get updated later, and hopefully it stays like that, wont need to do bozjan story at all

[mossy tartan]

ty

[quiet cipher]

ah so youd have to make relic weapon progress to get there

or whatever

makes sense

[glossy flare]

You have to do the first step to get there, yeah

[quiet cipher]

other than that i just beat the last msq so im kind of going back and doing dungeons and things i missed

raids and the like

[jade quartz]

The first relic step is free from doing the initial story quests.

[glossy flare]

Well if you're interested in the ShB relic try getting the SB alliance raids done

[jade quartz]

You don’t need to do any kind of relic grinding to get to Bozja

Just go through the introductory story

[quiet cipher]

regardless i was gonna do the SB alliance raids so it works out

[jade quartz]

(Which, yes, has the level 70 alliance raids as a prerequisite)

[bronze narwhal]

do it while the fate train still hot

[glossy flare]

or level BLU and do it yourself 😄

[quiet cipher]

besides the raids and dungeons i missed is there any other content you reckon i should focus on before all that?

[glossy flare]

I mean, that depends on what you like to do

Personally I recommend the Hildibrand quests just for the silliness of it

[quiet cipher]

i like the msq

[jade quartz]

Hildibrand is the classic

[fiery falcon]

is this hair one of the default ones?

[quiet cipher]

i plan on doing hildibrand ye

[twilit arch]

yes, that's a default hair

[gentle quarry]

Hildy is so good

[fiery falcon]

alright thanks!

[twilit arch]

the ribbon isn't part of the hair tho

[fiery falcon]

ahh

[twilit arch]

its from the far eastern schoolgirl outfit on mogstation'

[quiet cipher]

i might level a DoH/DoL if i feel like it

[glossy flare]

If you want more story you can also look into the Scholastice questline

it's neat

[quiet cipher]

story is always cool

lol i can put some time into glamour now as well

i told myself id wait for cap before doing anything

[bronze narwhal]

now that you mention blu, all I have to do is just spam sticky tongue and 1000 noodles till 50 on open world mobs?

[glossy flare]

I have no idea, my poor blue is lvl 1

[bronze narwhal]

still 33 btw

oh I see 😦

[little swift]

1k needles is a decent skill for a while but stops beinh decent as mobs start to have more than 1khp

[bronze narwhal]

I see, yeah I need to throw extra water guns to kill them

[fiery falcon]

Are you sure the hair is one of the normal ones @twilit arch ?

[bronze narwhal]

Its getting grindy

[twilit arch]

yes

[fiery falcon]

ahhh found it

thanks!

[little swift]

Get yourself some other skills like bomb toss to help spread out your abilities

Eruption can be learned from ifrit normal too

[sinful mist]

@huss strong suggestion: level gatherers first and or at least with the crafters and do all crafters besides culinarian at once even if it seems bad. You will thank me later

[bronze narwhal]

ooooh thanks for the suggestion

[jade quartz]

Might as well do culinarian too while you have the gear shared

[quiet cipher]

hmmm

[kind eagle]

@gentle quarry

What i do here

it looks different

[sinful mist]

@quiet cipher and read a little on how to level your crafter. with beast tribes, leve quests and GC hand-ins you really can do much progress if you just do stuff for ~an hour max a day, or even less if you prepared to spend gil to buy the GC hand-ins

[quiet cipher]

sure, thanks for the advice

i appreciate it

[gentle quarry]

@kind eagle do you have the latest ACT?

if you go to the plugins tab do you see these two?

[kind eagle]

Ah done ty

I have to open act app

and ffxiv?

or act will open once i on ffxiv

[little swift]

You open them both individually

Make sure you run act as admin as well

[kind eagle]

ok ty

@kind eagle Test it by going to Plugin > FFXIV setting and clicking the Test Game Connection button

Also make sure your game is in Borderless Window mode

[onyx kiln]

is there any fast way i can see if i have any of the books needed to find rare unspoiled nodes in the ShB zones? could have sworn that i bought the mining and botany ones but i cant find any of the nodes that needs those

[jade quartz]

Look in your gathering log > folklore tab

Or go to the Splendors Vendor and try buying them again—it won’t let you buy ones you’ve already obtained.

[onyx kiln]

cant buy them right now as i don't have enough of those folklore items

[vestal needle]

Is companion app down?

[onyx kiln]

which is part of why i need to know, just incase i need to grind up those

[jade quartz]

There is no scheduled maintenance for companion app

[vestal needle]

App is unable to confirm my login

Actually.....maybe i ran out of sub

Do items i have on the market stop selling if i run out of sub

[jade quartz]

I think that retainers will continue to list your items on the marketboard for seven days after you last accessed that retainer, even if you unsub.

[verbal rune]

Out of Curiosity, race base clothes are locket to said race, right?

[analog gate]

yes

[verbal rune]

Damn

What a shame

[soft sleet]

I have a question about levelling DoH/DoL

all mine are 0 atm

I have heard it is best to level them simultaneously, so what is the best order to do this in?

E.g. level them all to 30 then all to 50, etc etc

[sinful mist]

gatherers first, then crafter in any order. probably something like to the next class quest? but that depends on how you wanna do it.

[soft sleet]

okay gatherers first it is

thanks

[sinful mist]

also do your GC supply, the ixal beast quests

[soft sleet]

idk what that is but I will research, thanks

[sinful mist]

if you go to your local grand company dude, you they have supply and provisioning stuff there. basically you give them items, they give you exp. if you give them high quality items, the amount doubles.

[soft sleet]

oooh nice, thanks

[sinful mist]

leveling to 10 is easy. after that you can do Leves

here you have the same principle. HQ doubles the exp

and Ixal beast quests are beast tribe quests in west? gridania. if you finished ARR they should be available

[soft sleet]

yeah they are

[sinful mist]

and when you are lvl 20+ you can do ishgard restoration.

[soft sleet]

cool, so should I do say gatherers to 20 then crafters, then keep going like that

[sinful mist]

however you like. you can do 10 too

because then you can craft gatherer items with your crafters

[twilit arch]

you can start restoration at 10 for gatherers, its 20 for crafters

[soft sleet]

sick, thanks for the help

[sinful mist]

yeah right. but tbh gatherers level faster with leves

[twilit arch]

yes, leves are gonna be faster

doing diadem lets you stockpile mats for crafters tho

if you intend to level them that way

[sinful mist]

true. but grindy 😄

and you can skip fisher and culinarian if you want. they basically don't share too much stuff with the other crafters/gatherers outside of equipment

[vivid wolf]

is the genial cruiser for the haunted manor in game already?

cant find him at all

[soft sleet]

is there any more tips for boosting xp - e.g. eating food for other classes

[sinful mist]

he is. you'll find him next to the npc that sells the event stuff

you can buy manuals at your GC that give you an boost to the stuff you gather/craft

[vivid wolf]

cant see him, is there a requirement?

[sinful mist]

you have to finish the event quest

[vivid wolf]

am i missing him or something?

[sinful mist]

that's not the event npc

event npc is on the other cactuar "campaign attendand"

[vivid wolf]

oh, that's confusing

[sinful mist]

nah. the modern asthetics woman always stands there

[vivid wolf]

same area within the gold saucer?

[sinful mist]

like 5 steps north?

[vivid wolf]

i can only buy prizes from that attendant

seasonal one and seasonal 2

[glossy flare]

yes, the NPC is even in the screenshot you posted

Yes, that's it

they just have reduced prices

[sinful mist]

the genial guiser should be a little behind him

if you finished the event quest

[vivid wolf]

where do i start the event quest?

[glossy flare]

uldah

[vivid wolf]

oh alright, guess that's what i was missing

[sinful mist]

ul'dah across the street from the main aetheryte

he's called nana something

[gritty oracle]

what's eorzea time rn?

[dawn mountain]

Can I somehow transfer my character to a new realm that has the xp buff for leveling other jobs?

[twilit arch]

its 1:53am ET

[gritty oracle]

You can transfer characters to a different server, but you will not get the roasd to 70

tyty!

[twilit arch]

no, road to 70 is only for newly created characters

[gritty oracle]

also it costs irl money

if your character is like, level 15 or below, I recommend actually ditching it and creating your new character on the preferred server

unless you spent irl money on non account wide stuff

[dawn mountain]

welp, guess ill have to lvl from 10-70 without the buff then

[magic wren]

If I buy shb am I able to get the jobs prior to starting the MSQ for both SB and SHB expansions?

[gentle quarry]

the new jobs like SAM and stuff? no

[twilit arch]

yes, you just need to be the appropriate level

[magic wren]

Yeah

Ah okay

[gentle quarry]

oh just teh MSQ yes

[twilit arch]

samurai, red mage, gunbreaker, and dancer have no msq requirements like machinist, dark knight and astrologian

[magic wren]

So for red mage I just need lv 60?

[gentle quarry]

you just need level 60

[twilit arch]

50

[magic wren]

Oooo

[gentle quarry]

50 for RDM and BLU

[sinful mist]

60 for Gunbreaker and Dancer, 50 for the rest

[twilit arch]

sam and red mage are 50, gunbreaker and dancer are 60

[sinful mist]

but you start at 30 with sam and red mage

[twilit arch]

no...

you start at 50

[sinful mist]

not?

[magic wren]

Nice! Now can you play them while in HW MSQ or no?

[twilit arch]

yes you can

[leaden ginkgo]

What do u guys think... should I hold out on buying shadowbringer and see if it goes on sale sometime soon and start leveling other jobs or should I just buy it

[magic wren]

Niiiice!

Ty

I think you should lv other jobs that’s what I’m doing lol

I have 3 over 50 now

[open rivet]

What do you meld into the lv. 60 blu weapon?

[leaden ginkgo]

I think so too, it’s almost the holiday season so I’m sure a sale might come up and I want at least 1 healer, 1 dps, and 1 tank

Rn I have pld at level 55, and drk at level 52

I’m also impatient tho.... and would rather just have the content hahaha

[verbal rune]

Is it normal to overlevel while doing the MSQ?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes

I was overleveled for most of it

[gentle quarry]

yeah I was stuck at lvl 50 forever trying to clear ARR. Even now I'm like 6 level ahead in HW

[outer plank]

@verbal rune you have the road to 70 buff?

then very much

[calm phoenix]

Yes. You can gain at least four levels in the first dungeon if you are minimum and that makes you overleveled already

[outer plank]

they also shorten the msq and probably fatten exp rewards\

[verbal rune]

Yes. You can gain at least four levels in the first dungeon if you are minimum and that makes you overleveled already
@calm phoenix yeah, that's what happened

[storm cosmos]

is there a setting to permanently set the games home screen (after SE logo but before you choose your character to login) to an expansion previous to shadowbringers? trying to make it heavensward but it switches back each time

[twilit arch]

i believe there's a 3rd party program that can do it

but nothing officially, no.

[modern sorrel]

Is it worth it to max every crafter? why? why not?

[calm phoenix]

Can you get Triple Triad cards on the Market Board?

[raw solstice]

no, you can't

[calm phoenix]

Not even the ones dropped from dungeons?

[raw solstice]

if you want a card, have to get it as a drop or purchase from the gold saucer yourself

no card is marketable or tradeable

no exceptions

[fast talon]

@modern sorrel if you want to be completely self sufficient you need more or less every crafter since they make components for each other. Maybe culinarian is the only exception tho being able to make HQ end game food is good for both use and selling.

[calm phoenix]

Shoot. I guess I will be spamming Holminster Switch when I get that far

[modern sorrel]

Thanks that makes a lot of sense

It's totally worth it it seems

[calm phoenix]

Why did it say that the Duty Finder has a new duty after unlocking Mahjogg. Isn't that just a tile game?

[green grail]

probably the cross-world gold saucer hall thing in the saucer tab

[glossy flare]

you queue for it through the duty finder

[calm phoenix]

so it is PVP basically?

[glossy flare]

I mean... Mahjong is pvp, yes

Been that way since the game was invented 😄

[calm phoenix]

I assumed against NPCs

[glossy flare]

Nope, other players

In the last live letter they talked about maybe organizing Mahjongg tournaments

Since it is surprisingly popular

[calm phoenix]

Is it the same Mahjogg as the actual tile game or is it different in FFXIV? Is it like the official game like the I had on CD rom back in Windows 98?

[glossy flare]

nope, just the regular game

[calm phoenix]

Then I shall practice on my old PC

[glossy flare]

Though afaik no one holds the license to the game so calling it "official" is a bit misleading

[calm phoenix]

What I meant by "official" was a game with the official rules

[glossy flare]

should be about 150 years old by now after all

[calm phoenix]

Nothing changed or edited

[glossy flare]

That kinda depends on the version I guess? There are probably a lot of Mahjongg variants out there

So what's "normal" is subjective

[twilit arch]

just going to say that this is not solitaire mahjong that most americans are use to

[raw solstice]

yeahh

it's not a tile matching game

it's more akin to a card game

using the tiles

[twilit arch]

this is actual legit mahjong played in japan/china

[glossy flare]

I gotta admit, I never heard of solitaire mahjong

[calm phoenix]

No, the one I have for Windows 98 is a four player version and has a "hand" of tiles

[glossy flare]

Probably better to just play the game ingame btw

[tidal yarrow]

is there a way to tell if had dance partner looking at logs?

or, the amount of time I had it during a fight

[raw solstice]

you can look at buff tab, for "closed position"

[tidal yarrow]

cause I believe dnc changed partner midfight

thanks

oh ya I had dnc partner 99.76% uptime

just saw those blm numbers and thought they also and partners. ends up im just trash lol

[plain python]

I use Thrill of Battle off cooldown or as a heal?

[calm phoenix]

My wife wants to know if the reward is better if she suggests the right game all three times during the event?

[twilit arch]

no, it doesn't change rewards

[calm phoenix]

Can one do the shift as many times as we like or is there a cap on how many times?

[twilit arch]

you can do the repeatable quest as many times as you want, for the duration of the event

[calm phoenix]

So I can basically max out my MGP this way?

[strange coral]

The voucher from it is only 100 MGP, I'm pretty sure you can make more, faster spamming minigames

[calm phoenix]

What minigame would you recommend that is the easiest and can land me a lot of MGP? I know that you pay MGP to play and do not get anything if you fail

[strange coral]

!faq mgpguide

[zinc orbit]

MGP Guide

/

[strange coral]

Minigame spam isn't the best. I only meant it as an example that doing the repeatable quest isn't a very good way.

Although you'll want to do some for the challenge log rewards

[twilit arch]

miner and botanist games, if you're good at them, is the usual recommendation

[calm phoenix]

What are gates and where do I find them? I see that they give a lot

[twilit arch]

GATES run every 20mins

and vary between a jumping puzzle, a shooter game, and dodging

[calm phoenix]

On the 20, 40, and 00 on the clock?

[twilit arch]

yes

[calm phoenix]

How long does one have to find where it is before it expires?

And does your job and level have an impact on games and gates?

[twilit arch]

no, job has no affect on them

[strange coral]

There's an icon on the map and an announcement that appears on the screen when one starts

Several icons actually, at the GATE Attendants

Like this, but yellow I think

[calm phoenix]

And how long is it active? Do I have a minute to get to it? Five minutes?

[verbal rune]

about gold saucer

is there anything worth the trouble to gather MGP?

not a fan of mini games and the similiar

[calm phoenix]

Nobody knows how long one has to get to where the gate is before it despawns?

[strange coral]

I think it depends on the event

@verbal rune Cosmetic stuff mostly; mounts, minions, hairstyles, glamour, triple triad cards, etc

[verbal rune]

is there anywhere where I can check current hairstyles and glamour then?

[calm phoenix]

And every 20minutes. Is that local time?

[sinful mist]

Local yes

[strange coral]

@verbal rune https://ffxivcollect.com/hairstyles?q[sources_type_id_eq]=12 For hairstyles, the ones that are bought with MGP

I don't know about any site that shows the glamours, but you can go to the vendor in the saucer and use the try on function

[verbal rune]

that afro too

ok, I'll check it

I hope to find a jacket with short sleves somewhere

[calm phoenix]

Either Leap of Faith gate is really challenging or my wife just sucks at it. I do not know if I could do any better or not. Is it supposed to be so difficult?

[eager widget]

it’s based on how many of the cactuar medals you’re shooting for

also some routes are straight up more difficult than others

[calm phoenix]

There was a building with a ledge she had to jump onto. She needed to jump around a corner and land on a higher ledge and she fell everytime

[sullen lark]

What does this even mean

What's a role quest

[rotund sable]

The quests you pick up in crystarium that are unique to each role

If you can recall the new took you to the bar looking area and showed you the first one

[open ember]

You already chose one of the DPS quests

You have to go back to the area near the pendants and go to blue quests

[sullen lark]

Ohh, I know what you're talking about now

Thanks for the reminder 😛

[open ember]

Np

The lalafell has the healer quest and the hyur has the tank one

And idk if you did the magical or physical dps role quest so do that too anyway

[dreamy warren]

Is Ishgard Restoration still the fastest way to level up crafting classes once they hit 20?

[open ember]

Imo yes

I do feel like that 70-80 are better if you mix leves in there

Thats what i did

[dreamy warren]

I'm at 41 Leatherworker rn. Trying to hit 50

A glam piece I want is leather-crafter 50 gear and I'm not paying inflated market board prices for it.

[calm phoenix]

My wife says that the Moogle's Paw is a scam. It does not stop when she releases the button and sometimes it continues after she releases the button. Does this game like auto-adjust to make a failure or something?

[fresh lodge]

Could just be latency

And no

[calm phoenix]

Latency?

[fresh lodge]

The game isn't cheating against you, there is no point

Ping

[calm phoenix]

What about the times where she lands it in the right spot but does not pick it up but later it will work at the same spot?

Like what just happened six times in a row?

[raw solstice]

it won't have been at the exact same spot, will be slightly off

[open rivet]

Play Scuff-a-Cur instead

[dreamy warren]

If you;re a BLM with a 2-handed staff can you glamour a shield on?

[open rivet]

no

[calm phoenix]

She is pretty good at Crystal Tower Striker but she's trying to challenge log everything

[open rivet]

yeah but there's no "play moogle paw" challenge log?

[calm phoenix]

There is not? I will let her know

[fresh lodge]

Its just a general minigames challenge

[calm phoenix]

She can earn it on any mini game?

[open rivet]

yes

[fresh lodge]

Ye

[open rivet]

she can play the same minigame 3 times if she wants to

[calm phoenix]

I hate this keyboard. It is why I am constantly fixing the spaces

[kind eagle]

What can this 2 do

i gotten this instead of gear in e6s

[calm phoenix]

The picture you linked to says that a challenge log has to do with doing six gates, do they have to be successful in order to count?

[raw solstice]

glaze is an upgrade item for tome accessories/belt

[kind eagle]

what ilv are those?

not that good?

[raw solstice]

the upgrade takes tome gear from 490 to 500. BiS is generally a mix between savage gear and augmented tome gear

[kind eagle]

look 5 run no drop

[raw solstice]

the tomestone, by the way, is used for the tome weapon

[open rivet]

@calm phoenix no, she can complete any gate at any time, and fail in between

[fresh lodge]

Its participate in 5 gates and complete 3

[calm phoenix]

I assume the "Gambler" title has something to do with the Gold Saucer. My wife wants to know how to get that title

[open rivet]

"Earn 1,000 MGP at Gold Saucer attractions."

she should have it after completing one gate

heck, even failing slice is right should reward it

[honest anvil]

Why does everyone seem to stay in the instance area after completing any of the sb alliance raids? People leave asap in arr and hw raids.

[open ember]

Gpose

Maybe they forgot to actually leave

Internet issues

Also chests

People forget to roll sometimes

[open rivet]

ARR alliance raids are a "I want to get out of here asap" deal

[calm phoenix]

In any duty, I wait for people to roll and for anybody to make any last second commendations\

[hazy sinew]

Can someone explain to me how glamor works? I have 10 glamor prisms idk how to use them

?

[open rivet]

there's a lv. 15 quest near the waking sands that teaches you @hazy sinew

[hazy sinew]

I would want to make my armor be all black if possible

[open rivet]

that's dye, not glamour, bt same answer

[hazy sinew]

Ah

So do I need to get black dye then?

[open rivet]

yes, there's multiple types of black dye (or hues),
and you'll need to have completed the lv. 15 quest to dye

[calm phoenix]

Which raises the question for me. Is there dyable versions of the "Brand New" gear that you get from the Hall of Novice? The ones there are not dyable. Is there a dyable version elsewhere?

[hazy sinew]

Do I need to check if my armor is dyable or not?

[open ember]

When you right click on your gear, it'll tell you if its deyable or not

[hazy sinew]

this is the armor i would wanna modify

[open ember]

What gear is that

[kind eagle]

Look at that dmg

[glossy flare]

It looks like ironworks

[kind eagle]

red mage is insane

/im samurai

[hazy sinew]

Yeah it is iron works

[kind eagle]

amor class is red mage right

[twilit arch]

https://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/lds/uiguide/na/8a/20130ba583272284235cd24a6200cad71f5465.jpg

[open ember]

I think ironworks need to be augmented to be dyed

[twilit arch]

ironworks is automatically augmented now

[open ember]

Oh that's right

[twilit arch]

can't buy unaugmented anymore

[glossy flare]

There is no unaugmented ironworks anymore

[open ember]

I keep forgetting

[twilit arch]

but anyway the image i linked shows how to tell if an item is dyeable or not

[faint owl]

Is there a way to join an unsynced party?

after the duty has started

[calm phoenix]

Is there no dyable version of the "Brand New" gear I take it?

[potent shale]

Where can you buy low level Materia's in NPC Vendor?

🤔

[open ember]

Only premade parties can do unsynced

[twilit arch]

there's no vendor for low level combat materia

[open ember]

And no not after the duty started

[potent shale]

A h

Shoot

I need to do the lv20 Weaver quest

[faint owl]

Ah, so I can't join someone who's already in an unsynced duty?

[open ember]

No they'd need to leave the instance, add you to the party the go in

[faint owl]

Ah ok

Thank you

[open ember]

Yeah only synced instances are one where you go in progress

[twilit arch]

if you're not on trial, then can just buy from the mb

[calm phoenix]

Why is my question not being answered? If there is no dyable version, just say so

[twilit arch]

if you are on trial, then spiritbond some low level gear and extract

[hazy sinew]

Walking sands is where the scions were before rght?

[open rivet]

yes, western thanalan

[hazy sinew]

Okay ty!

[calm phoenix]

Nothing?

[glossy flare]

I have no idea if there is a dyable version Moltres

[fresh lodge]

@calm phoenix Ok one, stop asking why is your question not being answered

And two, the Brand new gear shares a model with already existing gear

[glossy flare]

But it would help if you stopped insisting on an answer

[fresh lodge]

Which yes, is dyable, its just locked to a role

[calm phoenix]

What gear?

[twilit arch]

two use garlandtools to check if there's any shared model https://garlandtools.org/db/#

[calm phoenix]

And what role?

[fresh lodge]

What brand new gear specifically?

[twilit arch]

and i'm fairly certain i've linked garlandtools to you before

[glossy flare]

^

[twilit arch]

so please do make use of resources given

[calm phoenix]

But I need the name of it to even look it up

[twilit arch]

look up brand new

[glossy flare]

look up the brand new version

search for shared models

[torn sundial]

do you get synced down to 70 when attempting ultimate bahamut?

[fresh lodge]

Yes

Ultimates are forced sync

[calm phoenix]

I see. Is the FFXIV Official Lodestone the same way?

[young yarrow]

Forced sync, same with ilvl

[fresh lodge]

No

Just use Garlond Tools

[twilit arch]

lodestone doesn't show shared models no

[hazy sinew]

I found the top armor

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

[calm phoenix]

Can you share the Garlond Tools link again, please? I will bookmark it this time

[fresh lodge]

Just scroll up

Its right there
