Is it true that Crystal is the worst for raiding? i am almost done with the ShB MSQ and really want to get into raiding but I am on Crystal Goblin
crimson wind
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
faint flare
Crystal has a slightly smaller raiding population but its possible
hazy estuary
damn, wish i knew that when creating my character lol
How much is it to transfer server?
remote lintel
18 usd
proud willow
Keep in mind, you don't typically queue up for endgame raids, you form a static party
plush hound
There's still a raiding community in Crystal, it's just not the most pronounced.
faint flare
Party finder
proud willow
so as long as there are 7 people across the entire DC who are also looking for a static, you'll be fine
faint trellis
I am level 22 and stuck because I can't find quests to do 🤔

Main scenario tracker to left
faint trellis
It requires 25
faint flare
Do your job quests as well
hazy estuary
How hard is it to get into a static? I wont look for one until i can actually unlock the raids but would like to know
remote lintel
there is a dedicated channel for statics and fcs
faint flare
People pug them in PF
faint trellis
Actually my MSQ is Call of the Desert but I can't figure a way to get there
plush hound
Statics are for end game Savage/Ex/Ultimate
little swift
Ex does not require a static
alpine shadow
who uses statics for ex
faint trellis
I am at La Noscea and I haven't been close to that desert
little swift
Neither does savage
robust crow
most of them expect you to show up to every raid at least a few times a week, play your class well, and learn mechanics of the boss
remote lintel
@faint trellis where is it
little swift
But it can definitely improve clear rate/time
faint trellis
Thanalan and closest I have been is the Mor Dhona
remote lintel
mor dhona is like a lvl 40 area
faint trellis
Black shroud*
remote lintel
teleport to ul'dah if you have no aetherytes in thanlan
plush hound
Go Limsa and go to the Airship platform there. Take an airship to Ul'dah
oblique trellis
DRK starts in Ishgard?
remote lintel
yes
faint trellis
Where is Ul'dah I might have been there
remote lintel
its one of the main cities
faint flare
You have been there for story
faint trellis
I quit for a quite a while of time so I have no idea where I left off
oblique trellis
Ul'Dah is in Thanalan
faint trellis
ohh I don't have the teleport 🤦
copper bolt
Hey folks. I can't do leves. They tell me to talk to Miounne and She has nothing for me.
I am lvl 17 FWIW
ember moth
How do you unlock the mount speed for housing zones? My mount speed menu only has the mist
faint flare
They're already max speed
ember moth
Oh how come the star isint filled in?
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Cause there's no speed increases for it...its all the same across the board
ember moth
Weird they would have a star then there that you can't fill lol
Well that makes sense
I guess...
strange coral
Finishing the 2.0 MSQ unlocks the mount speed upgrade for the housing districts, except for Shirogane. That one requires Stormblood (4.0 MSQ) to be completed instead.
ember moth
Ahhh ok
novel bluff
Where can I find Illuminati go drop?
plain kraken
dude do i need finishing all this mission to unlock Gangos ?
strange coral
Yes, you need to do the Ivalice quest line@plain kraken

sweet leaf
when using undersized parties, do we still get loot chests?
calm phoenix
Where is the inn in Ul'dah? And nearest shard?
faint flare
Chest yes
wintry chasm
inn is always at the adventurer guild
faint flare
Adventures guild
remote lintel
adventurers guild
wintry chasm
so the adventurer guild aetheryte
sweet leaf
so if a boss of a duty drops something like a minion, playing with an undersized party means this will not drop?
calm phoenix
Adventurer's guild in all three cities basically?
ripe hound
Substats usually cannot cover 10 ilv right?
If a ilv 500 gear have shitty substats it's still better than a 490 gear?
I mean I guess I need more piety anyway...
eager widget
it depends
remote lintel
@calm phoenix yes
sweet leaf
i see, thanks!
robust crow
it's really difficult for substats to overtake 10 item levels
eager widget
in the case of a healer, it’s straight up better to get the ilevel and then mix and match whatever you dont need Akira
robust crow
how much piety do you have, first of all?
eager widget
but there’s been niche moments in the game’s lifespan where it’s been better to not openly grab the max ilevel item
that’s mostly a dps issue tho
robust crow
if you're in the process of gearing still, it's not uncommon to have a ridiculous amount of piety (like 1500+)
eager widget
ye ^
ripe hound
1399 Piety with 2.41 GCD as AST
eager widget
just focus on the gear up for now
robust crow
that's a ton TON of piety
especially on ast
5.3 changes gave them a lot of mana tools
eager widget
is it due to lack of heals during repeated raidwides?
ripe hound
No, just mistakes
remote lintel
if they're making that many mistakes it's unlikely you'll clear at all
ripe hound
Yeah it's not something shields can fix
robust crow
I checked ast bis just now and they have multiple sets, but the "Mana friendly" set has only 1049
ripe hound
I mean on the bright side we are seeing Enrage very consistently
robust crow
like...the solution to that problem is not "meld more piety" it's "people need to die less"
ripe hound
Enrage on like 4-5%
eager widget
the only time healer gear should ever be that scrutinized is if A) you’re not keeping up with akhs/repeats, or a raidwide is straight up OHKOing you from lack of stats
ripe hound
Yeah, I'm just thinking about picking up the 500 allegory pants
eager widget
otherwise, you’re fine
remote lintel
that's not bis
robust crow
e6s is commonly considered the second hardest fight this tier
ripe hound
Like a while while
past lantern
is this the right place to ask about if there's treasure map linkshells? or how to find one
ripe hound
Yeah, probably
robust crow
no, don't buy the allegory pants if it's not in your bis
waste of allegory
that 10 ilevels isn't gonna be the difference between your clear
490 is fine
ripe hound
Yeah, I guess that's true
robust crow
fyi it's also 825 allegory
ripe hound
I'm using 490 crafted now
robust crow
not 500
robust crow
that's literally 2 weeks worth of allegory lol
ripe hound
2 weeks now, but yeah, it's a lot
Also how do I ask nicely for my Deeps to do more damage?
leaden ginkgo
can u enter bezjgan without the relic quest chain ?
robust crow
that's a difficult topic to discuss without stepping on people's toes
ripe hound
Yeah
eager widget
it’s a hard question because I’ve had similar issues in older teams
remote lintel
no you have to have done the resistance quest
eager widget
you need the quest chain
calm phoenix
Do they not have a conjurer's version of Emperor's New Shield? The one in the Gold Sauce says GLA/PLD and Conjurer's sometimes carry shields
robust crow
does your raid team parse, first of all?
remote lintel
@calm phoenix no because shields are obsolete
ripe hound
Like even our raid leader is like "YEAH our SMN is not here today we are gonna clear this!"
Yeah
We parse
robust crow
parsing is important to analyzing DPS
remote lintel
are your dps doing their balance rotation
ripe hound
Probably not
remote lintel
are they lining up raid buffs
eager widget
best thing you can do is have someone check whatever is bugging them
ripe hound
I'm fairly certain they aren't doing anything
eager widget
raid alignment, deaths, etc
remote lintel
then you arent going to clear
faint flare
@leaden ginkgo you can enter bojza without your weapon
remote lintel
get raid pots
ripe hound
I mean you can't pull a 5 percentile if you know your opener right?
remote lintel
get food
robust crow
if your raid team is THAT lax then perhaps consider a new team
remote lintel
they NEED to be doing the opener on the balance
robust crow
because it sounds like they may be too casual for you
remote lintel
as do you
ripe hound
Yeah, it's just one member on the team
robust crow
no decent player is doing a 5th percentile
like it's hard to be that low even with deaths
ripe hound
Yeah I mean it's all wipes, not clears, and people are dying a lot
We need to use healer LB3 everytime to reach enrage
remote lintel
are you all studying the balance opener
robust crow
healer lb3 isn't a bad thing
if it's what gets you your clear then that's what it is
ripe hound
Yeah, we are like 4% till clear, so if people die a bit less we can probably clear
ripe hound
Yeah, I think I have to try to convince them to use potions
alpine shadow
if people die alot, then that's probably the problem
robust crow
people should be potting on every pull after the first time you guys see enrage
seeing enrage is a wake-up call
ripe hound
Like we have a BLM on our team that's consistently doing 80 percentile deeps
remote lintel
80 percentile is ok
alpine shadow
food+pots is required for progging savage, casual or not
ripe hound
Yeah we at least saw 10 enrages
remote lintel
are you doing your balance opener
alpine shadow
wdym 80 percentile is "ok"
robust crow
80 percentile sounds like they're carrying the DPS
alpine shadow
that is "ok" if you are BiS
ripe hound
Actually I should go learn my Balance opener, to be honest I'm not even doing my opener myself
I should go study it again
robust crow
well there you go
ripe hound
I mean I am AST
ripe hound
But yeah
remote lintel
healers have openers
robust crow
can't criticize others if you aren't playing optimally yourself
leaden ginkgo
@faint flare can u enter without doing the relic quest like unlock bozjgan
remote lintel
no deadshot
leaden ginkgo
ah
robust crow
ast can start the raid with a giant shield
leaden ginkgo
these 3 raids level 70 taking forever
faint flare
Bojza is a direct continuation of the relic line
remote lintel
also use xiv analysis
robust crow
which means you can pretty much ignore the first raidwide on most fights
did the ast people ever update their end of xivanalysis
ripe hound
Yeah, I've been using analysis
robust crow
last I heard it was still on 5.2
remote lintel
tbh it sounds like your team just isnt doing their rotations
leaden ginkgo
@remote lintel do u really need the 3 raids level 70 or can we skip them
ripe hound
How do I convince people to learn their rotations?
I mean I guess the first step is learning my own...
remote lintel
you need them
leaden ginkgo
cause no one is Qing
remote lintel
there is no way to shortcut it
ripe hound
Also as AST can I draw and play in 1 GCD with light speed?
alpine shadow
How do I convince people to learn their rotations?
I mean I guess the first step is learning my own...
@ripe hound by asking them why tf they are doing savage if they don't
ripe hound
Like sometimes my brain stutter and I clip
remote lintel
use lightspeed in your opener
ripe hound
Yeah
robust crow
it's going to ultimately come down to how willing those members of the team are to getting better
some players have the "it's just a game bro" mentality and don't want to tryhard
ripe hound
Like I'm very comfortable doing GCD, play, draw, GCD, play, Draw
But if I draw then I find my brain isn't fast enough to play it in the same GCD
robust crow
if those players can see their own parse, realize they're the bottom 5% of the DPS in the world, and think "this is fine"
ripe hound
Even with light speed?
robust crow
then they probably should not be doing savage
ripe hound
Yeah... Like in theory I won't clip, but in practice I can't react to what card I drew fast enough
remote lintel
then dont
ripe hound
Yeah
And I also have trouble doing 2 redraw in a GCD
Like I need time to process the first redraw
remote lintel
ideally you should be getting divination out in like 5 seconds from pull
ripe hound
Yeah, I think I'm doing that part fine
remote lintel
for redraw i just look if the seal changed
you dont really need to see what the card is
ripe hound
I see
remote lintel
until you play it that is
ripe hound
Also in the Balance, they said Nocturnal Intersection is really strong.
They mean when a Noct AST use CI right?
Not a Diur AST using CI?
remote lintel
yes
ripe hound
Because Diur AST's CI is just a "half of it is shield" version of ED
remote lintel
its a free 150 pot regen
ripe hound
Also how much damage should the tanks be taking for TBs in e6s?
Like my tanks usually lose about 80% hp for every tank buster
remote lintel
the tank swaps?
ripe hound
Yeah
ripe hound
Are they not using enough Mitigations?
remote lintel
they shouldnt be stacking mitigation
ripe hound
Wait a single Mitigation is enough for the tank swaps?
remote lintel
its more like
desperately spamming mitigation doesnt help
since they stack multiplicatively
ripe hound
Yeah
But I think maybe they need to use at least 2
Like a Fast one and a Rampart or something
I mean there ain't much other places in e6s where you need to use self mitigation right?
remote lintel
they should be cycling them always
ripe hound
Yeah
remote lintel
also iirc only one tank should be taking damage at a time
the next tank buster comes later
ripe hound
I mean for each tank swap, both tanks each take a bunch of damage right?
remote lintel
they shouldnt be if im remembering right
ripe hound
Weird
remote lintel
its a tb on 1 tank and the next tank avoids the meteor strike
ripe hound
Nah I'm fairly certain the other tank needs to be punched also
Be punched then avoid strike
remote lintel
probably
ripe hound
Otherwise there is no reason to tank swap
remote lintel
i just put an earthly down
ripe hound
Since one tank can just be punched then dodge
robust crow
I've healed and dps'd e6s, but never tanked it, can't help you much there
remote lintel
when ifrit spawns i usually get into range, put an earthly star down, wait for the 2 tbs and pop it
ripe hound
Kk thanks
cold cove
As a WHM. When do you unlock the gauge? I read it's useless but I am lvl52 and have an spell that needs it.
faint flare
After you do your lv52 job quests
ripe hound
I looked at the Balance guides a bit. It seems like the optimal opener isn't too different from what I'm using now
remote lintel
useless?
ripe hound
But I did notice I could put a lot more healing prepull
Like currently I'm using Horoscope after first raid wide
I can probably move it to before pull
Also I should probably probably probably buy potions and ethers right?
AST deeps is still deeps
calm phoenix
Does logging out at the Gold Saucer not give you rest XP despite being a sanctuary? I logged out of my Cornu character last night and logging in today, her rest XP has not changed. It is still barely past her level
ripe hound
What are the best potions and Ethers now?
robust crow
it's not useless at all now @cold cove
ripe hound
Tincture and Super Ether?
robust crow
although at lower levels it's missing the damage spell that uses it
remote lintel
@calm phoenix if it has the moon symbol next to the exp bar it's a sanctuary
calm phoenix
It has the moon but no rest XP on this character
remote lintel
@ripe hound HQ grade 3 tincture of mind
ripe hound
kk
little swift
@ripe hound earthly star is prepull is plenty for the first raidwide
ripe hound
And Super Ether HQ right?
calm phoenix
It is the same as it was yesterday
robust crow
HQ super ether as well
remote lintel
if your rested exp bar is blue youre not going to see it
faint flare
You can only get a set amount of rested xp per day
robust crow
super ether is probably better to craft than buy
calm phoenix
It is yellow barely past her level progress—like it was yesterday
robust crow
I recall crafting like 400 of them for "just in case" situations
remote lintel
you probably hit the max amount of rested exp
ripe hound
lol
ripe hound
I don't have crafter levels or crafter friends T_T
calm phoenix
No. Max is 1.5 times your level. Her rested XP is maybe 5% past her actual XP
ripe hound
I'm just gonna buy a bit, like 50 of each for today's pulls
remote lintel
1.5 times your level for that entire day
ripe hound
Nah they are all sold in 99 packs lol
robust crow
I bet the price is outrageous too
calm phoenix
Her rest XP did not change from 7 PM last night to almost 5PM todsay
ripe hound
Tincture and Ether share the same CD right?
faint flare
Yes
robust crow
yes
ripe hound
kk
little swift
it takes 4 whole days to max out your rested exp
remote lintel
if you were playing and gaining exp then it was using your rested exp
little swift
4 days of being in a sanctuary
robust crow
ether can be useful for prog but when you start hitting enrage then it's time to switch to tinctures
little swift
you not seeing any progress on it is normal
ripe hound
The price isn't too bad, Tinctures are 1.8k each, ether are 1k each
calm phoenix
Except I just got on this character since last night. Nothing changed since then
robust crow
they're like 2.5k to 3k on my server
ripe hound
Yeah end of patch raiding lol
remote lintel
unless you havent been playing the character for the past 4 days youre not going to see much difference
ripe hound
Yeah, I'll just grab some for today
robust crow
considering I personally gathered the mats and crafted hundreds of them within an hour
ripe hound
nice
calm phoenix
Her level progress was exactly this yesterday at 7 PM including how far her rest XP extended
robust crow
I don't recall those mats being locked behind scrips or time
remote lintel
unless you havent been playing the character for the past 4 days youre not going to see much difference
pearl wharf
ripe hound
kk
calm phoenix
But if I am off Moltres Rider same duration of time, the rest XP gains half a level basically
robust crow
ripe hound
Yeah Super-Ether is 70
robust crow
yeah this stuff's nothing
remote lintel
theres nothing wrong with the game
ripe hound
I should have crafted them I guess...
remote lintel
you probably just havent noticed
ripe hound
Also should I use Tincture on CD?
remote lintel
@pearl wharf right click the name > report RMT
robust crow
if you are hitting enrage, then tincture on CD is best
remote lintel
no
robust crow
so you can get 3 pots
remote lintel
you talk with your static when you want to use it
ripe hound
Oh right
robust crow
but yes, what cerberus said is optimal
ripe hound
Try to line up if reopener happens at 6 min?
robust crow
ideally you use one in each major buff window
ripe hound
When does reopener usually happen? 6 min?
robust crow
but if you are hitting enrage then instead of doing that, you use tincture on CD so you can fit a 3rd one into the fight
calm phoenix
Even being off four hours during a power outage has given me a noticeable amount of rest XP. 7 PM to 5 PM is much longer than that
ripe hound
No... I think e6s is only 10 min long?
robust crow
there's not really a big reopener on e6s, it's just the phase change
ripe hound
I don't think I can fit in 3 Tinctures
remote lintel
you either A. havent noticed it or B. have already used most of your rested exp from playing
robust crow
you can, i've done it before in prog
little swift
can also confirm its doable
ripe hound
3 potions is 2 CDs!
robust crow
yes
ripe hound
I thought 3 potions is 3 cd lol
calm phoenix
I do not think so. It has been all gates today
little swift
well technically you're not wrong akira
ripe hound
right lol
little swift
but the 3rd cd is irrelevant
remote lintel
then you havent notcied
robust crow
if you hit enrage, then just pot on cooldown
ripe hound
Yeah I'm just gonna pot on CD
remote lintel
you should be
ripe hound
Yeah we should be
ripe hound
Oh
But yeah I guess we still should be talking about lining up buffs a bit
At least for opener
remote lintel
dont hold onto it unless youre nearing the end
then you can plan
when you want it
ripe hound
Yeah I'm just gonna use it on CD
robust crow
div on CD means your 2nd pot window comes up around your 3rd div
ripe hound
Nice
robust crow
so if you're watching that cooldown then you can announce the pot window
ripe hound
Yeah.. but Div is 120s, Potion is 270s
robust crow
i thought div was 3 minutes
remote lintel
no
ripe hound
Do we consider delaying the potion for 3rd div?
robust crow
nvm then it'll be your 4th div
remote lintel
when youre nearing the end of the fight you should be planning all buffs and pots and things
robust crow
wait i'm counting wrong
ripe hound
Yeah
remote lintel
since youre not going to get them again
ripe hound
Also is there anywhere I can find a timeline for e6s?
Or should I just record a video from my POV and get the timestamps myself?
e6s don't have any dps causing different timeline issues right?
remote lintel
cold cove
I know why I don' thave the lily. I have the road to 70 exp boost so Im overlevel and I still didn't finish the MSQ
ripe hound
Thanks Cerberus!
robust crow
so yeah around 2nd soccer
remote lintel
because you need to do your job quests @cold cove
zinc orbitBOT
robust crow
yes tomatto someone mentioned that
all of your level 52-60 skills are locked behind your HW story quests
so you aren't going to get them until you beat ARR
ripe hound
Also just wondering, did anyone encounter problems with parsing e6s wipes?
remote lintel
what you mean
ripe hound
one sec
Baiscally fflogs keep thinking we only get the boss to 26%
Where it's actually more like 4%
Wait... is this 26% the average health of Ifrit, Garuda, and Pasta?
remote lintel
maybe?
gleaming mist
probably
ripe hound
Right because when ifrit and garuda disappear they are about half health
gleaming mist
fflogs is pretty weird about wipe hp% especially in fights with multiple bosses
ripe hound
Yeah I guess it's just a minor bug then
robust crow
pasta needs be around 52% or lower on spawn to be on track to clear
ripe hound
Kk
gleaming mist
more importantly
tell people to stop eating shit
nin dies before their 2m window
gleaming mist
smn dies before the 2m window as well
ripe hound
lol
gleaming mist
entire party dies at post conflag mechanics
ember moth
Anyone know alot about chocobo comapnions (not racing) and I can ask a few questions?
oblique trellis
What do I want to do with 100% spiritbond stuff since it warns me before I sell it
robust crow
yes emmigosa, what's your question
ember moth
Just relearning the game and this is a new thing for me
ripe hound
Hey I died because LB3! <_>
ember moth
Ok so I've read that healer is prob the best stance usually unless you are a healer?
ripe hound
It's a valuable sacrifice!
robust crow
healer is the most useful
ripe hound
< _ >
ember moth
So when I train him should I use the food to give him better healing potency?
fast hull
Mimett Gourd
ember moth
Well they are capped at level 20?
robust crow
they are capped at level 10 unless you want to spend money
robust crow
you need one thavnairion onion per level after 10
fast hull
but usually I just do the Bosom companion to level up very slow though
robust crow
one onion is usually around 200k-300k on my server
ripe hound
Oh it's tethers
ember moth
Ok and is there a site that will show me what and how to feed my chocobo for colors?
I found one that has a list but not pictures or how to so it or anything
remote lintel
@ember moth basically any tree except tank is good
ember moth
Just literally a list of colorslol
ember moth
Not too worries about money
ember moth
I used to play heavily back before first expansion when I logged onto my account for the first time since 2014 my main has 12m on it
And I've been selling stuff on inventory and retainers and have close to 20 now
And still one retainer full
ember moth
Lol @robust crow 🤷♀️
fast hull
is there a way to level your chocobo faster? its been 4 months now an he is still level 12?
fast hull
can max the level of a chocobo within a month for grinding? is that possible
remote lintel
sure if you did nothing but grind
ripe hound
I think I heard about a way to get poetics gear cheaper by getting the normal version then trade in for augmented version at calamity salvager?
remote lintel
you cant
wintry chasm
You can't buy the normal version
obsidian patio
Outdated
obsidian patio
Also it would end up at the same price
The augmented gear you buy now is the price of the unaugmented stuff plus the augment material
So there’s no discount
boreal storm
leaden ginkgo
how would i know if my 90 days is up for the world transfer?
obsidian patio
Crafting/gathering can be bought from the ixal beast tribe
Combat is basically only through extracting
ripe hound
kk
verbal rune
So where do I go to get retainers?
obsidian patio
@leaden ginkgo unless the world stops being preferred so that the Road to 60 buff expires after 90 days, you don’t really get a notification
verbal rune
Game generically told me about some npcs, but not where to find them
obsidian patio
They’re marked on the map with a face icon
verbal rune
Ok, found it
leaden ginkgo
@obsidian patio ok ty
stray kiln
can someone explain how visiting worlds works?
leaden ginkgo
go to lisma and click on the aether
robust crow
what specifically do you need to know @stray kiln
obsidian patio
!faq worldvisit
zinc orbitBOT
harsh moat
It's like visiting another state except you're limited in the things you can do (like sell things)
robust crow
you can visit another server whenever you want but you're restricted to what you can do while you aren't on your home world
stray kiln
like could i just make an account in a world with road to level 70 buff, and just visit worlds to play with friends?
robust crow
yes
harsh moat
Yup
robust crow
that could work
little swift
keep in mind you can't join their player guild unless you transfer
rugged crypt
Is Eden Verse savage difficult?
stray kiln
I see, is that the only restriction?
remote lintel
savage is the 2nd hardest content in the game
jade quartz
It’s more difficult than anything else you’ve done if you haven’t done savage
little swift
depends on your skill level and comfort to adapt
robust crow
have you done any shadowbringers EX trials?
rugged crypt
So it's not the hardest stuff out there but it's up there essentially?
robust crow
particularly SoS EX
ember moth
Can you que as one role then switch classes while you wait for pop
remote lintel
the only thing harder than savage is ultimate which is 100x harder
so yes savage is very hard
stray kiln
thank you @robust crow and spooky!
rugged crypt
I've only done the normal trials
little swift
it can be quite punishing on mistakes, but mistakes aren't always the end of the world
jade quartz
E5S and 6S are about as difficult as an ex trial, 7S and 8S are a bit harder
rugged crypt
Just wanna set a goal
remote lintel
then it will be hard for you
robust crow
normal raids are far far easier than savage
rugged crypt
To work towards
little swift
7s is definitely not harder
rugged crypt
Gotcha, thanks for the help
ember moth
I can't wait to start raiding. This game always had easy but entertaining raids imo
Or atleast used to
robust crow
@rugged crypt i would instead recommend this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWzkdafoPdc&t=78s
ember moth
Dunno savage want a thing last I played
remote lintel
i linked the video to give them an overview renaulte
not like a super in depth guide
robust crow
joonbob's is more of an overview lol
mizteq videos are the super in depth ones
because she literally explains every single mechanic down to the wire
remote lintel
not really
ember moth
I do have server first titan garuda ifrit extreme, server first levi, and server first baha turns 1-8 and quit while pushing for 9 so yeah like very early 2014 lol
remote lintel
she goes really fast
ember moth
But I suppose alot has changed
remote lintel
those are trials not raids
robust crow
not as fast as joonbob
remote lintel
except baha
open rivet
For the event, is there a hidden achievement for getting all recommendations correct?
ember moth
Well I mean the amount of people I've seen die to phase two of turn 5 or fal off in titan or levi makes me assume the player base has gotten better overall lol
Since the new stuff looks like it has more mechanics
little swift
Nah it's probably about the same
ember moth
Oh lol
little swift
Theres a larger population
So there are more skilled players
But not everyone has improved
jade thorn
Can I configure the game so I can turn the camera with mouse without clicking and holding
ember moth
There's no mouse look toggle
jade thorn
Oh
ember moth
Which is weird but yeah
ember moth
I just turn off the camera snap back feature and manual reset camera
jade thorn
Cool
ember moth
Since you can turn your character by running with mouse buttons to the direction your camera is
remote lintel
standard controls stop the camera from turning but lock your characters movements to the direction theyre facing
so youll backpedal if you try to go backwards
ember moth
Like resetting camera to saved resets camera to characters position but using mouse resets your character to camera postion
If that makes sense
jade thorn
Nice thanks
Is it better to use keyboard bindings or mouse for battle actions? Mouse feels comfortable but I end up removing them from the menu by accident
I’m a total noob
remote lintel
clicking your skills is slower
leaden ginkgo
You can lock the ability to drag off the skills
jade thorn
Thanks for the neat binds cuz after 4 or 5 my fingers can’t reach and thanks for telling me about the lock
remote lintel
if you want more keybinding help theres #protips-and-ui
jade thorn
Oh thanks
cinder maple
whats the difference between tenacity and determination?
obsidian patio
Tenacity is basically a weaker determination that also mitigates
cinder maple
so even as a tank, i should get more determniation?
remote lintel
yes
obsidian patio
In place of tenacity, yes
remote lintel
tenacity doesnt have much noticeable change
obsidian patio
You need a lot of it to even notice the damage reduction
cinder maple
okay
remote lintel
also you can mouse over the stats in the character menu
cinder maple
and I can't put 5 Savage Might VIII into a single equipment?
leaden ginkgo
is there a way to farm a specific item at the Diadem? or are the nodes always random?
ember moth
To change Chocos colors do I feed all at once or slowly every 6 hours?
ember moth
Ok and if it doesn't say he will change colors after a feeding do you feed again?
Like should it say that after every fees that you count?
open rivet
@leaden ginkgo they're random, but in "sets", so if you see item a it will always be grouped with item b, for example
remote lintel
if you dont get the message that hes growing new feathers, feed it the same item again until it does
ember moth
Ok and when it does that counts as one
remote lintel
yes
ember moth
Ty for your help cerberus
verbal rune
This is probably a stupid question, but on which race most gear fit best? I find that most gears on hyur seems bulky and out of place, is the same with the others? Just wondering on what to waste a fantasia if I get one
leaden ginkgo
corrupted sprites at the diadem still drop the random silver/gold chests?
or is this old information?
verbal rune
Oh, I was wondering if it was the same for mi quotes
faint flare
Caution
little swift
@leaden ginkgo sounds like outdated information, its just crafting shards/cluster/crystals
faint flare
You can buy a set of 5 for 1 cluster
ivory iris
you can buy the lost fragments right?
faint flare
Off market board yes

robust crow
cooldown reduction doesn't exist as a stat in FF14, but there's something like it
robust crow
skill speed/spell speed reduce your global cooldown
jade thorn
thank you
robust crow
and reduces the cast time of your spells
but nothing will cut down a 90 second cooldown to be shorter
warped nest
Heavensward Astrologian has a card that reduces Ability cooldown time iirc
But it is just not useful as it only does it to Ability used during the buff, furthermore it might messed up your rotation
night basalt
arcanist or archer for squadron dps? (NPC)
robust crow
both are good
warped nest
I'm told that they are all fine
robust crow
those are the only 2 good squadron DPS
warped nest
Interesting
robust crow
the AI for the melee dps is shit
they'll stand there and do nothing a lot
the AI for casters is bad because they'll stand there and not cast
archer's good because it spams its aoe
arcanist is good because their pet AI is smarter than they are
if it's for squadron missions, then anything is fine though
it's only for command dungeons where you want archer/arcanist
warped nest
Ahhhh
night basalt
It was for command missions yeah
warped nest
Thanks for clearing that up
leaden ginkgo
is there a way to export my chat log into a txt file?
night basalt
you can copy paste from the game
crimson vault
Is there any way for trial players to play together? maybe using party finders or something?
robust crow
you know, that's honestly kinda dumb lol
you could ask someone else to form a party
and invite you and your friends
crimson vault
it doesn't dissolve if the owner quits?
robust crow
if you guys are in your local novice network, most people in there are more than happy to help with that
it only dissolves if the owner purposefully disbands
void heart
Hi! I just caught up with the 5.3 MSQ and Im kind of at a loss on what to do now, can I get a point in the right direction?
crimson vault
I see, i suppose the owner can't pass the leader to a f2p?
crimson vault
thanks for the help
robust crow
are you on aether DC?
crimson vault
me and my friends are going to try
robust crow
we can try real quick
robust crow
@void heart did you finish the eden raids on normal yet
those raids have some significance in the story
have you looked into the nier alliance raids too?
void heart
Nope, I havent done any Alliance Raids since ARR’s Crystal Tower
robust crow
that's a good first step
you need to do the stormblood alliance raids to get your relic weapon
you can work on that
there's the nier raids too, and those are really cool
there's the eden normal raids which currently have 8 encounters
after all that, there's also savage raiding, which is the hard mode of the eden normal raids
void heart
Ok, Ill get into that when I level Gunbreaker up to 80, any advice on how can I do that quickly?
void heart
Yea
robust crow
run your roulettes every day
robust crow
leveling, MSQ, alliance raid, possibly frontline PvP and trial/normal raids
those roulettes give the most experience
warped nest
You want 59, 61, 63, 67, 69, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79
wispy parcel
Once you hit level 71 If you did the Ivalice raids
robust crow
after you finish your roulettes, the next fastest way is to spam the highest level dungeon you can do
wispy parcel
you can do bozja which boosts XP gain by a lot
warped nest
Oh yeah, Bozja
wispy parcel
yea the Ivalice raids
robust crow
and start the relic weapon
warped nest
Trial and Raid roulette exp is just okay, but they are usually very quick, and they are good if you needed a lil bit more experience to level up
Alliance, Leveling, and MSQ roulette are the meaty one
void heart
Ok ok, thank you all for your inputs
robust crow
naturally the first thing most people want to do after hitting 80 is to gear up
so if you have any interest in getting gear
fast hull
Question: Is there anyway I could get this sword for my glam?
void heart
Yeah thats what I’d want too, but I want to hit 80 with a tank class first
warped nest
You can use Garlandtools(website) to search for Makoto
The NPC
And check what she has on
umbral lance
Anyone know of any double-bladed spears/lances?
lapis bolt
Community finder won't let me recruit for a cross world linkshell ):
robust crow
you could technically do that on your DC's party finder
void heart
One last thing, what is a good way to find an FC? On a Main City?
robust crow
put up a party finder listing
there's the new community finder feature that the other guy just mentioned
lol
to find FCs
or just shout for one in a major city
warped nest
Anyone know of any double-bladed spears/lances?
@umbral lance if no one get to you, please drop by #glamour-discussion channel and ask there again
umbral lance
roger
void heart
Ok ok understood, thank you all for your time!
fast hull
@warped nest so its called antiquated Kiku-ichimonji? I've gone to the calamity salvager but they are not selling anything? it should be 1000 gil accordign to the site
robust crow
antiquated is usually the level 70 weapon you get at the end of your class quest
you might already have it if you are a level 70 SAM
and did your class quests
warped nest
Calamity salvager only sells what you have unlocked/claimed
fast hull
Oh i just finished the 60 job quest even though I am 71 thanks for the tip
robust crow
yeah
FYI the level 70 antiquated weapons can also be upgraded
they're effectively your relic weapon for level 70
in case you want the glamour
oblique trellis
so, being new to tank... is Stun worthy of a primary slot? Or more fitting for modified..(I know that's personal preference..but if I'm using it enough, no modifier would be better)
warped nest
I dunno, I feel that shift e can be reserve for more frequent ability
Assuming your common stuff are on qerfcx
little swift
if you don't do higher end content, stun has more practical use in trash pulls
robust crow
still salty about puppet's bunker and people not interrupting the stupid add that paralyzes the whole raid
little swift
but both interject and low blow have use
empty pecan
For Harmachis in Atherochemical is only one member allowed to stack on Ballistic Missle? I keep seeing the check fail and having everyone hit with the full damage.
remote lintel
only 1 is needed
fast hull
I think if its a small circle its 1
raw solstice
it's a 2 person stack, including the person that's trapped in it
it's always small circle
they didn't bring back big circle from T8 for the fight
fast hull
but if its a bigger circle you need more? but I havent seen it
oblique trellis
well rn I literally only have the starting skills for DRK to slot, and knowing nothing about tank, idk where to put anything but 1, 2, 3 😄
empty pecan
Weird it fails if more than is required stack
oblique trellis
kb being 1-6 and QERTFG with shift and ctrl modifiers
remote lintel
i put my direct attacks and the blackest night on hotbar 1 and buffs/defensives/etc on hotbar 2
if that helps
fast hull
yes I just know it does more damage if more than 1 person tries to be in the circle (which is 2 people)
also after the circle thing can you avoid the lazer shot?
oblique trellis
I don't have Blackest night yet...where do you have your stun and interject
remote lintel
hotbar 2
i would put ALL skills on the hotbars so you dont have to change anything as you level up
raw solstice
the laser after is just a general stack
robust crow
i personally like to have the short mit cooldown on the ` next to 1
raw solstice
more people in it splits the damage better
warped nest
Yup
fast hull
the laser after is just a general stack
@raw solstice Ah people usually runaway from me (and I'm a healer so I prepare sheilds/regen) ;-;
warped nest
Stuff with same purpose, but under different names, goes to the same spot
AOE combo for tanks, same two spot
remote lintel
but im on controller so its easier for me to figure out where to put my skills 
warped nest
Same here lol
oblique trellis
@robust crow so Reprisal for DRK?
remote lintel
reprisal is a role skill
fast hull
for all tanks
robust crow
reprisal is on the same button for all my tanks
oblique trellis
I'm on KBM with an MMO mouse 😄
robust crow
my GNB ui
all my cooldowns are on the 3x4 on the right
dash, reprisal, damage steroid always on the top 3 buttons
10%, 20%, 30% mits on the buttons below that
invuln on bottom, raidwide mit on 2nd
shirk and provoke on last 2
remote lintel
^ if i played mkb thats prob how i'd set up my ui
its the same concept of having your attacks in one area, defensives in another
so everythign is sorted
oblique trellis
well fortunately I'm in the midst of working on another HUD Layout 😄
fast hull
@robust crow yours looks cleaner than mine ;-;
oblique trellis
I imagine once I actually do something on the tank, I'll learn what I'm better off having where

spare plinth
so im at the part where ||during the alliance meeting in ala mhigo we heard the call and thancred loses consciousness||. is this foreshadowing shadowbringers?
zinc orbitBOT
robust crow
@spare plinth ||yes that's absolutely starting the foreshadowing for shadowbringers||
remote lintel
@spare plinth yes, just keep playing
fast hull
so im at the part where ||during the alliance meeting in ala mhigo we heard the call and thancred loses consciousness||. is this foreshadowing shadowbringers?
@spare plinth Yes more or less
remote lintel
ask questions AFTER you actually get to shb
spare plinth
I wonder if this will be something in 5.4 where something foreshadowed 6.0
remote lintel
post quests are transitions to the next expac so yes
oblique trellis
That's... definitely a setup Barber 😄
fast hull
so in level 80 content you need potions?
remote lintel
no
oblique trellis
(the layout that is)
remote lintel
potions are for progging raids
fast hull
Ah ok confused with the openers
oblique trellis
@robust crow Any specific reason you have hotbar 1 at the top? Or just what you're used to
zinc orbitBOT
fast hull
@oblique trellis I need BIG pictures that my cooldown is up. Unlike other tanks, TBN is level 70 and I have only Rampart and Shadowall as my mitigation. The other 2 are Reprisal and Arm's length if my main mitigation is not absorbing enough damage when I am doing 4-5 mob pulls
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
remote lintel
whats the move thats like dark mind but aoe
fast hull
yeah but most mobs I am running is PHYs.
warped nest
I don't remember lol
fast hull
good for those sprite thingies in Gubal though
robust crow
i talked a little about it yesterday in #protips-and-ui but I have the enemy cast bar and debuffs enlarged to help me see
robust crow
yeah and enlarged debuffs helps me with knowing when to reapply dots
spare plinth
In shb, ||all of the Scions were pulled into the first.|| Since Lyse is ||no longer a scion does that mean she wasn’t summoned by graha tia?||
remote lintel
did you start shadowbringers?
remote lintel
its tagged its fine
robust crow
no i mean
remote lintel
oh
robust crow
if we tell her the answer
remote lintel
i get it
remote lintel
did you start shadowbringers cai
robust notch
I mean to be fair, people asking about the lore without finishing the story are kinda asking to be spoiled.
spare plinth
I’m just so excited
spare plinth
Ok
spare plinth
about to end 4.4
remote lintel
i was talking to barber
spare plinth
oh
fast hull
ah no its not really spoiler, its debate what is considered to be aether magic (MNK using essentially magic versus physical ability of chkra blah blah) so I am good
remote lintel
||resonant|| is a spoiler
fast hull
just gonna level up my SAM first XD
robust crow
well, in the same vein as dragoons jumping 5000 ft in the air
fast hull
ah sorry gonna delete
robust crow
you can chalk it up to whatever you want to believe on that kind of topic
if dragoons can jump over ishgard then monks can do big punch
remote lintel
also the echo is just something people develop/are born with
i think its more of a 6th sense than like actual magic
wintry chasm
Yeah it's more of an...innate ability
In shb, ||all of the Scions were pulled into the first.|| Since Lyse is ||no longer a scion does that mean she wasn’t summoned by graha tia?||
pretty much
fast hull
Yeah I think some of the people would disagree on that on the other chat. Just fun to read on their take on it XD
wintry chasm
That's a very approximate reason for what happened Cai
robust crow
like I kinda want to talk about it but at the same time I don't want to spoil cai
lol
spare plinth
I only know the summary of the story of shb
remote lintel
im just saying shes not relevant to shb
fast hull
As paladins do you use Sentinel as a 2ndary rampart if its on cooldown or Sheltron with reprisal is enough for 4-5 mobs?
remote lintel
you dont need to stack cds
fast hull
Oh sorry my english is bad I mean if you rampart is gone do you pop sentinel to replace it
warped nest
Yes
fast hull
or just depend on sheltron
remote lintel
sure you could
remote lintel
i dont think the exact order is that important unless you know whats going to happen
warped nest
Yeah
fast hull
invul is easier with PLD than other tanks -_-
remote lintel
invuln is fine for all tanks except living dead if your healer isnt looking
fast hull
But I am trying to clear AV with wall to wall pulling in the 1st room but I think I am not a good tank yet. I just do the left wall thing and try to pull 1-2 mobs at a time trying to avoid those jellyfish/frog
robust crow
yeah if you use superbolide and your healer isn't looking then you can be damn sure they're looking now
remote lintel
how much you pull is also dependent on your healer
if their gear sucks or they cant handle it then youre going to die
robust crow
you don't have to start off doing wall to wall pulls right away
just stick to at least 2 packs of mobs
pull more as you gauge how good your healer is
fast hull
yeah, its just weird that I can do wall to wall for most dungeons. Its that 1 room in AV XD
robust crow
or how your confidence holds up
remote lintel
AV just sucks
robust crow
well AV has a bit of a problem
in that you go into it at like level 49
so you don't get your level 50 skills
and at that level you still don't have a large part of your kit
but don't forget that arm's length is also a defensive
a mistake that a lot of new tanks make is they overlook arm's length
fast hull
but after that one room the scorpion/jellyfish/malboro are more managable. Maybe its the frog then 🤷♂️
remote lintel
i wouldnt judge your tank skills on AV
fast hull
and AV became so much easier with the cyclops boss
open rivet
Interject is also often pretty nice to have
wintry chasm
Yeah the first room is the meme room in AV because of the frog and how many mobs/roaming mobs there are and it's just super easy to pull too much
quiet cipher
is there any reason to have interject late game
robust crow
lots of things need to be interrupted
that can't be stunned
the adds in e7s come to mind
quiet cipher
damn
robust crow
also the adds in puppet's bunker
quiet cipher
i see
robust crow
those are the only 2 I can think of right away though
little swift
even the first pull adds of dohn mheg
need to be interrupted to not buff another add
quiet cipher
when i was doing the 5.3 trial we failed because i didn’t have my limit break on my hotbar 😅
muted hawk
last time this same error came with ???? ???? ??? this time it have some info atleast.. how do i fix it?

not just endgame endgame
robust crow
tank limit burst isn't used often, but you should still have it on your bar
little swift
update your drivers
jade thorn
Is mnk fun
little swift
could be a hardware issue as well
quiet cipher
i’ve only been doing msq stuff mostly to this point
faint flare
Interject is something that goes from "eh we could ignore it" to "mildly annoying" to "Use this shit or wipe" really quickly

can always reveret to dx9 as well

i have latest Drivers

@jade thorn not really at this point
