generally speaking yes

If The Balance says do this opener just do it?
remote lintel
yes
polar hound
Yeah
remote lintel
the balance is made of people who study this stuff
polar hound
if it looks weird, it's probably them lining up for buff windows
remote lintel
so what they put out will be optimal
ripe hound
Yeah if The Balance is wrong it's gonna be big news and gets updated right?

honest anvil
in rabanastre raid, vs the last boss, when it tells to look at it, do i have to be face-to-face with it; or can i stay behind it?
remote lintel
facing your character towards the boss

A face will appear on screen. If it's an angel face, do what it says. If it's a blue demon face, do the opposite.
remote lintel
depending on the face you get you do different things
twilit arch
if you see a white face/blue eyes, you do as told
if you see a black face/red eyes you disobey
lapis bolt
I had a question about crafting. I want an item crafted that costs too much for me to afford on the market boards. Would a player be willing to make it for me if I got the materials for them? I feel like it's rude to ask because crafters profit from non-crafters (obviously) and my FC consists of entirely new players because I'm the senior-most one (I'm a returner that had to restart).
remote lintel
u would still pay them
lapis bolt
Also I don't know how much I should pay the player who makes it for me. I don't know what would be a reasonable price.
remote lintel
probably close to what the item goes for
lapis bolt
Ah. So I'm better off just buying the item off the marketboard instead of getting the materials in hopes of a lower price.
polar hound
lots of crafters would do it for free or for a tip
crafting is really simple to level nowadays, there's a lot of them
twilit arch
you should talk to the person first tbh to see how they feel about it
polar hound
^^
remote lintel
you would also be trusting someone with possibly expensive materials/items
twilit arch
like for me personally, i wouldn't require payment if you gave me the mats
robust crow
same
twilit arch
some ppl would only ask for the cost of crystals
polar hound

robust crow
if you give me all the shit I'd craft it for free
oblique trellis
What does this mean, as it doesn't appear to be seconds
polar hound
some may want food/tea
remote lintel
its seconds
oblique trellis
I still have like a 30 sec cooldown by the time I get to that phase
remote lintel
its your GCD cooldown
faint flare
That what you do depending on your gcd cooldown
oblique trellis
is the "recast" time of my 123 the gcd?
polar hound
yes
lapis bolt
Thanks everyone
remote lintel
!faq clipping
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
explains gcd and ogcd in detail
oblique trellis
Ok well my GCD is 2.4 seconds, which is longer than those 3 options
twilit arch
also going to note that if you ask someone to make you an item and they run with the mats, you can report them to the gms
remote lintel
then get more skill speed
twilit arch
since you made an agreement ingame, gms will do something about it
remote lintel
you can ignore melding until 80
thats probably why your gcd is long
youre not 80
polar hound
your rotation is barely halfway complete at that level
oblique trellis
that's my filler phase
remote lintel
did you get that from the balance?
oblique trellis
the SAM rotation pic
remote lintel
yeah then its made for lvl 80s
polar hound
^
remote lintel
just do what you can
oblique trellis
I got nothin else to follow 😄
polar hound
it's an optimization discord not a leveling one
so just use that as a metric but dont worry about your stats until 80
oblique trellis
someone linked it in here didn't get it there
twilit arch
You can use it as a basis
oblique trellis
k
remote lintel
you dont need to fit those skill speeds if youre not 80
polar hound
yeah
twilit arch
but dont follow it to a T
outer mural
yo, i'm sure this question is asked a lot so apologies
what's the optimal way to level 61 - 70? heard people suggest Heaven-on-High (floors 20 - 30 spam) but also heard conflicting info it's worse than normal dungeon spam
twilit arch
because you're not going to have the full rotation as 50 anyway
remote lintel
!faq altlvlguide
zinc orbitBOT
polar hound
also probably impossible for you to reach that GCD with the low stat gear atm
warped nest
@outer mural exp by time wise, yes, HoH or potd will not beat dungeon
But hoh potd usually have faster queue
Which benefits dps
outer mural
i see, so it's dependent on how butts my queue for DPS ends up being
warped nest
The general consensus is, if your dungeon queue pop in less than 10-15 minutes, dungeons are still favorable
Yes, Jim
outer mural
gotcha, thanks y'all
i'm just levelling scholar rn so i'm just gonna spam dungeons then
remote lintel
and beast tribe
warped nest
Another thing people didn't mention is, if you wipe a hoh or potd, you get absolutely nothing
outer mural
as is the common complaint, i'm not looking forward to levelling DPS 
warped nest
Wiping in a dungeon is a minor set back, you will still get exp if the party learn and improve
Wiping in potd or hoh will get you kicked out, no exp reward

like I said. probably easier to find a group somewhere. it will take you forever because most people will give up when they see the long wait and duty roulette people at this time are rare. especially because they need to roulette with their 80.
spare plinth
so shadowbringers was foreshadowed in 4.4 when ||yshtola and thancred passed out along with urianger||
remote lintel
that was the transition yes
its not really foreshadowing if the story is actively transitioning to the next expansion
faint flare
The X.4 and x.5 patches are the start/prologues of the next expansion story arc
spare plinth
so i imagine whenever the x.4 comes out people will start making theories about what the next expansion will be about
same with x.5
was 4.5 released and then a month later shadowbringers was announced?
remote lintel
by the time .4 or .5 comes out i imagine the devs release the trailer for the next expac
sinful mist
at least stormbringer was "shortly" before .5
if I remember correctly
shadowbringer no idea

as I said its an intentional nod

How often do they change which world's are preferred? I'm wanting to get a friend into ffxiv but there are no longer any preferred servers in my data center.

@versed bridge each patch

tbh. the preferred server stuff is nice, but it only helps if you really want to level 2 classes at the same time
hazy shadow
If you want to play together, it would probably be best to have them join yours regardless.
spare plinth
maybe its just coincidence and possibly a nod to 1.0
remote lintel
its not a coincidence
hazy shadow
Unless you want to make an alt or vice versa
twilit arch
its an intentional nod
remote lintel
they intentionally made the ||warriors of darkness|| look like the trailer characters
but they are not the same people
the trailer characters are YOU

i think if you want to continue this perhaps go to #archived-lore-spoilers ?
it's not really belonging here

they can't make the character look like a million different players

spoiler questions are fine here so long as they're properly marked, and also aren't something that needs a super long explanation about

its an intentional nod and not the same group

except that's not even correct
ember moth
Any one here knowledgeable about PvP?
warped nest
except that's not even correct
what!?
sinful mist
probably better to just ask
spare plinth
is monk considered one of the hardest class to master?
remote lintel
not even close
warped nest
Ehhhh
spare plinth
ninja?
warped nest
What is the metric?
spare plinth
blm is fun but its hard tho
remote lintel
the only hard part about blm is learning to move
warped nest
Hard to practice
spare plinth
yea
warped nest
Hard to optimize
spare plinth
several things come to my mind
warped nest
Hard to use in prog
sinful mist
depending on what you think is hard, different classes have different difficulties
ember moth
Generally speaking all classes are easy. Just some fights punishes certain classes
spare plinth
always cast, dont lose enochian and dont die
remote lintel
but even then blm isnt hard once you learn to utilize your movement skills
warped nest
Some folks might think reacting to proc very hard to get used to
ember moth
Those classes also tend to have better dps overall to make up for it
spare plinth
i think in duties manafont saves my life
remote lintel
it has nothing to do with difficulty
remote lintel
manaward
warped nest
Ward is shield
spare plinth
yea manaward
ember moth
I never said it had to do with difficulty.
warped nest
Font is recover mp
ember moth
I said that some fights punish certain classes. Due to mechanics
remote lintel
if a fight punishes sam then it punishes basically all other melees
warped nest
In some sense or another, all jobs can be hard to learn
spare plinth
for some reason it easier to play sch than whm
maybe because of the fairy
auto heal
spare plinth
is it bad that if i see a lalafell in my duty party i want to pet it?
hazy shadow
Yes
ember moth
I mean I didn't specificy a certain class or group and I'd argue if they're is a fight with zero mechanics that mellees and casters that have casts times do more dps then say a bard or dancer
warped nest
Ranged Dps has complete movement freedom
ember moth
I mean mage and summoner are technically ranged dps to be fair
warped nest
If they do just as much or more dps
remote lintel
ranged physical dps
warped nest
Then why would anyone pick mages or melee?
remote lintel
is what im talking about
ember moth
So when I said,that classes that can be punished by mechanics tend to have more overall dps, how was that a statement that you said was inaccurate?
When we just talked through it step by step and you agreed
remote lintel
because if a mechanic punishes sam then it punishes basically all other melee
ember moth
I never said it didn't
remote lintel
sam, blm and smn are the top dps
ember moth
At any time
sinful mist
because you basically say "all classes but ranged dps are punished by mechanics"
remote lintel
well no other melee has top dps
remote lintel
because
ember moth
Melee dps has a much smaller gap then ranged
remote lintel
they do
you're talking about classes that have "more overall dps"
which are sam, blm, and smn
and you said theyre punished more
sinful mist
smn is "difficult" because you need to keep ahead of your DoTs and stuff
spare plinth
i think i was in a dungeon and there was a sam and i was a blm and someone remarked that they cut down the boss quickly
ember moth
No I you're not taking my statement the way I meant it
sinful mist
if you fuck that up you don't do as much dmg
ember moth
Let me rephrase
plain python
what is the lowest GCD? 2.4?
remote lintel
2.0 i think
ember moth
Dps classes who can or are more likely to be punished by mechanics tend to have higher dps potential due to that to help offset. So when later on they become more optimized in fights alter rotations cd windows ect, and more familiar with their movement they make more use of said potential and pull ahead
remote lintel
i dont know what you mean exactly by "punished by mechanics" but sure
sinful mist
everything that isn't ranged dps 😄
ember moth
I mean does heavy movement based fights not punish blms for long casting times? Look at the trend as people become better at fights, change cool down windows and alter rotations, dps climbs. Things like that are irrelevant for like bard. You pretty much don't need to change muxh
remote lintel
thats basically just saying "people who learn the fight and their class better will do better" which applies to literally everyone
verbal rune
Once I reach lvl 30, do I have to find the job quest by myself, or does the game direct me towards it?
twilit arch
the job unlock quest will be at your class' guild master
hazy shadow
It will have a sub quest under your main quest line iirc
remote lintel
!faq job
zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
or one of the npcs at the guild
remote lintel
you have to do msq too
sinful mist
that also means Samurai has more punishing mechanics than for example ninja and monk?
ember moth
There's still way more variance in BLM play then a bard for instance regardless
sinful mist
if you are in a preferred world that's not uncommon and even when not it's easy to level ahead of the MSQ
hazy shadow
Fights are pre-planned, with predictable damage. If you know the fight, you know when to move.
plain python
is the gcd 2.0 achievable by stat alone? Or only specific class?
remote lintel
its achieved by monk iirc
verbal rune
Yeah, I started leveling up a second job for that
remote lintel
with full greased lightning
ember moth
@hazy shadow it's not just avoiding a mechanic it's also shifting gcds and ocds for certain windows.
remote lintel
you dont shift much in high end content
you know to do THIS EXACT SKILL at THIS EXACT MOMENT
hazy shadow
^
remote lintel
for almost every skill
ember moth
I mean then every one with the same hear would do the same amount of dps. But there's obviously gaps between players. Optimal min max of dps often requires you to shift windows and yes once you know how they shift they can become more set. Which is literally what I said earlier
Which is my point. For something like bard movement is a non-issue
remote lintel
there's gaps because people fuck up their rotation and dont have the exact same gear with the exact same build
not everyone has bis
or there's rng with procs
zinc orbitBOT
ember moth
I mean at this point the highest raiders do, and there's still large gaps. Just saying, look at the logs even between people with the same gear
remote lintel
because

is there a reason why the boss in e7s doesn't cast a second empty wave before the enrage?
I'm trying to kill the boss with another group but it isn't casting it twice like it used to
wintry chasm
That'd be because you're killing the adds slower
The enrage happens at a really specific time of the fight
and the add phase length of time depends on how long it takes
So if you take ages to kill them than the time remaining of the fight won't be long enough to see a second empty wave

about the only one that's realistically ok to use is asylum, since ground aoes can be a bit fincky/annoying to place
no
learning how to comfortable manual target to heal is going to be better, because like i said macros have a delay

it's faster for you to click on the tank, hit ability, and tab back to the boss.

do you, as of today, to have access to all content have to only buy ShB?
glossy flare
you'd have to buy the starter edition on top of that
Or the complete edition for the whole package
kind burrow
i see, thank you.
patent citrus
yeh, if you never purchased any product before just buy the complete edition hehe
but for returner, shb probably? 🤔
glossy flare
I'm not sure about returners who have left during ARR and are coming back now
Because HW is part of starter and SB is part of ShB
So it's weird
heady bramble
Is there a way to add steam wallet funds w/o it being in increments?
e.g. mogstation item is $4. Steam wallet fund requires I add $5
Am I not able to pay the $4 amount directly?
twilit arch
if you own the base game, then all you need is shadowbringers
even if hw wasn't rolled into starter edition now, it'd be the same regardless
glossy flare
good to know
patent citrus
credit card probably? yeah afaik steam wallet require minimum $5 top up
not sure if it works with steam account 🤔
regal summit
how can i prepare for a new patch/expac as a crafter ?
regal summit
i see
i got weaver to 80 but i havent finished msq yet so it would prolly take more than a week
regal summit
nah im at 4.3
regal summit
what kind of mats should i stockpile ?
open ember
If you wanna spend mountain ls of gil
little swift
You just never have to leave the firmament so it feels faster
open ember
Then sure
twilit arch
you dont have to spend mountains of gil tho
twilit arch
A lot of the leve items aren't that hard to make
restoration lets you be lazy
yes, but that doesn't mean its the fastest
regal summit
thanks for the tips
open ember
I've never heard from anyone that leves were the fastest
regal summit
i did leves from 1-50
twilit arch
idk why anyone would advise against leves
little swift
Combat leves I would understand avoiding
little swift
Because frankly those are pretty shit
open ember
Well gather leves are great
twilit arch
but gathering/crafting leves are still extremely good and have always been
little swift
Dol/doh leves only got better with the 5.18 changes
regal summit
oh yeah another question if thats ok: whats the best way to level a gatherer ?
open ember
For that leves
regal summit
leves?
open ember
Yea
open ember
Pats
regal summit
unlocked yet
open ember
Are you on the free trial
open ember
Oh oki I good luck ~
twilit arch
just to given an example of leve exp turn in vs restoration
max collectability for 60 is 1.7mil~
triple turn in leve would be 2.8mil~
assuming HQ (Which you should be)
regal summit
mhm
rigid narwhal
if i just farmed ishgard for all of them, do i do one at a time or one by one?
regal summit
are leves cheaper to do?
twilit arch
depends, but given that most restoration mats are in the dirt
if you're buying materials from mb, probably not
willow pewter
Any rewards from the haunted manor event?
regal summit
yeah restoration looked much cheaper
open ember
If you're gonna do ishgard righr when it comes out, then no its not cheap
regal summit
ah
twilit arch
no, just lets you mess around as various npcs @willow pewter
willow pewter
Thank you!
twilit arch
even a few days after ranking started a lot of the mats were quite cheap
open ember
Yeah the prices tanked
twilit arch
First day or two, things are fairly high still but they tank fairly quickly
regal summit
okay last question, sorry for being a bother
but how often should i upgrade gear while levelling crafters ?
twilit arch
when you hit a wall, tbh
open ember
I will say weaver, blacksmith and armorer are very expensive to level up
CUL is the cheapest
Armorer is so goddamn expensive I had to level thru beast tribes
Speaking of exp for craters do the moogle beast tribes
And then do namazu for stormblood
regal summit
already have them unlocked
open ember
Good
regal summit
alright
open ember
What's the item
twilit arch
/isearch "item name"
regal summit
thanks
cedar compass
shire gear
twilit arch
assuming you mean you can't find an item you know you own in your inventory
open ember
Oh yeah do /isearch Augmented Shire
It'll pop up everything you have with the name "shire"
Also if you go to the vendor
And right click
On "search for item"
It'll find it for you
For whatever you're looking for
open ember
Yes
Glam chest, armoire, retainer inventory, ect
It'll be highlighted orange with the amount you have
And where it is
zinc orbitBOT
tidal yarrow
how long will the current gear be useful for after 5.4 drops?
and I mean current BiS gear
twilit arch
5.4 crafted gear is going to be better than current BiS
almost every single hardcore raider will have it, and pentameld it
but unless you're someone who's intending to clear all savage fights, week 1
tidal yarrow
wont it be sold at light crazy prices tho at the beginning?
leaden ginkgo
does anybody do uwu and when ? good morning
tidal yarrow
it's the first expansion I play so still haven't experienced it
twilit arch
yes, which is why a lot of the serious raiders either are crafters themselves
tidal yarrow
but im current i500 myself and I do raid
twilit arch
or know someone who is, and is gonna have them craft those sets
tidal yarrow
mm I see..
twilit arch
but like i was saying unless you're pushing for week 1 clears, its not too much of a worry
little swift
@leaden ginkgo you're gonna have to look for a static for that one. People almost never pug ultimates
twilit arch
you can still make due with BiS for awhile until you start replacing it with the new stuff
tidal yarrow
i see
leaden ginkgo
where i can find it @little swift
tidal yarrow
how much was the neo ishgardian gear at when expansion dropped?
little swift
Try the recruitment channels in here/ on the subreddit ffxivrecruitment and what not to see if there are statics recruiting
halcyon glen
Eden’s Promise normal mode, as an example, will drop loot exchangeable for gear equivalent to the new crafted gear, albeit not pentameldable and locked weekly
little swift
You can even post that you're looking for something
That said you better have some logs and what not to show
tidal yarrow
ohh I see..
sadly I spend all the gil I make in food and pots basically so im not gaining since weeks
and things won't be changing before 5.4
so buying new gear will be a no-no for me
twilit arch
do you have a static?
tidal yarrow
yes
halcyon glen
And as long as you’re not actively doing hardcore week 1 progression that’s perfectly fine
twilit arch
is your static super serious and hardcore
tidal yarrow
nope
twilit arch
that's going to be pushing for week 1 clear on all 4 fights?
tidal yarrow
no
twilit arch
then its really not a big deal
leaden ginkgo
well i was looking for static honestly if @tidal yarrow are u diong it ?
twilit arch
BiS is gonna be fine for atleast e9s/e10s
cedar compass
Will 5.4 have a new raid tier or trial?
twilit arch
both
little swift
Both
cedar compass
Oh nice
tidal yarrow
okay I see thanks guys
little swift
Slash do you have any endgame experience? Statics for ultimates often look for some sort of performance gauge
Be that your logs or even a trial
cedar compass
When is the next ultimate releasing?
tidal yarrow
you have to do savage before ultimates
alpine shadow
kefka does not count as clear, you need to do the latest savage content
tidal yarrow
and uwu can take even more than 200 hours of gameplay with an average group
leaden ginkgo
and uwu can take even more than 200 hours of gameplay with an average group
@tidal yarrow ez
alpine shadow
mostly kefka clears are easily done cause of unsync
that's why "clearing kefka" at lvl80, isnt really big feat enough to do ultimate
twilit arch
we don't have confirmation on it, but if they're gonna do another one it'll most likely be sometime 5.5 @cedar compass
leaden ginkgo
i know uwu is synced whit i wanna learn it
wispy parcel
They said they are trying to do 2 per xpac but cause of delays via covid that might take a step back
leaden ginkgo
thats why i join
little swift
And we're saying groups that are recruiting will want to see raiding history
alpine shadow
You don't have a raiding history when doing kefka unsynced
ashen pendant
I don't understand recitation for scholars
little swift
If you have no logs or what not to back up your skill
ashen pendant
"Allows the execution of Adloquium, Succor, Indomitability, or Excogitation without consuming resources while also ensuring critical HP is restored."
Like what does this even mean
little swift
Its not a good place to be
Basically it makes your next cast of one of those abilities free
And the heal crits
alpine shadow
If you want to do ultimate, go first for E1S-E8S before you try doing ultimate.
ashen pendant
ah
calm phoenix
Where is the best place for a level 36 to train my Chocobo?
tidal yarrow
well e1s-4 not necessary at all tho
leaden ginkgo
@alpine shadow indeed , but i dont geta ny party for eden
little swift
4s for tea unlock
calm phoenix
And the areas with level 36 fates?
ashen pendant
i feel like it'd be clutch
little swift
Check party finder slash
ashen pendant
with a emergency tactics succor heal
alpine shadow
If you can't get a party for Eden, you will never get a party for ultimate
little swift
Its not just an oshit button use that regularly @ashen pendant
leaden ginkgo
well thats is not my fault is the ppl who make the partyes
ashen pendant
"weave it in" so to speak?
little swift
Make your own party for learning the fights
You cant place the blame on others
@ashen pendant yes weave it
With excog is the usual use for it in dungeons
ashen pendant
Ok, i'll def keep it in mind, i'm far from shadowbringers content rn, but i'll def take note
leaden ginkgo
@little swift oke oke
little swift
As it stands now it doesn't sound like you're ready to jump into that content get some more experience with extremes and savages first
ashen pendant
@little swift me?
halcyon glen
nah, Slash
little swift
@ashen pendant no
calm phoenix
Can you use your Chocobo in levemetes?
twilit arch
yes
calm phoenix
Why didn't my Chocobo follow me when I ran away from a level 28 hunt monster? I ran because it somehow regained all its health and I got aggroed by two more monsters. My Chocobo just continued to fight even when I was miles away
leaden ginkgo
ok i will try to beat eden first ,ty
Question about fc room: if I buy a bed can I sleep on it as staying in an inn? Like when I log out my character goes to sleep, can this happen?
twilit arch
you can lay on it with /doze, but if you log out you wont b e in your room. you'll be in front of the house, outside
its because of how housing works
twilit arch
yeah
leaden ginkgo
Inns seem better....
calm phoenix
Is there an Orchestron Roll for the La Noscea field music? If so, what is the name and where can I get it?
leaden ginkgo
So my friend wants to join me in ffxiv but we are both on free trial and cant make parties. Is there a way around this ? Like for example, lets say we queue for the same dungeon at the exact same time. Will we join the same game?
west spruce
unlikely
leaden ginkgo
I think you can add your friend to party
west spruce
just find someone to inv you both
leaden ginkgo
Hmm. Bummer.
calm phoenix
Is there no roll for that music? I want Cornu's FC room to have the music where Cornu the monster is found and I want to make sure that is possible
strange coral
It might be this one? Not sure https://garlandtools.org/db/#item/15809
green grail
according to the wiki that's first result on google for "la noscea field music orchestrion roll", it should be On Westery Winds from bango zango in limsa lower decks
bold trout
omg there's quests that required to enter dungeons and hve to wait for players ugh

minor isle
can you equip two of the same rings?
wispy parcel
Nope
remote lintel
not if theyre unique
minor isle
its the msq one for arr.
remote lintel
if theyre not then yes
minor isle
aite then i'll grab a diff one
remote lintel
msq gives you HQ vendor gear which isnt unique iirc
remote lintel
it says if its unique on the tooltip
plain python
when Hyperdrive, you use Heat Blast + x2 weave Gauss/Ricochet or Ricochet/Gauss?
leaden ginkgo
So a follow up to my first question. Ive read that i could ask someone with the full game to invite us free trial players to a party and have them give us a lead and drop out.
So with that party now, can we join other dungeon and trails until we choose to disband the party or does the party disband after each dungeon or trial?
open ember
You can do dunegons together
But once you disband you need someone to make you a party again
Once you have a party you can do whatever you want
And no
It doesn't disband
leaden ginkgo
Oh thats great. Thanks
open ember
Unless you actually hit "disband"
remote lintel
@plain python heat blast + gauss or ricochet
leaden ginkgo
Got it. This will be really helpful for me and my friend.
remote lintel
and wildfire
calm phoenix
So trials can be rolled in leveling roulettes?
remote lintel
the ARR normal ones
strange coral
Those early 4man ones
cedar compass
uhh theres some leves that require using an item when the mob is low hp
plain python
like, 3 of them
open ember
Not the 8 man ones but the 4 man ones
cedar compass
what do you do if youre already like level 80
remote lintel
hit it once
strange coral
Unequip some stuff
calm phoenix
My brother-in-law put a company seals buff specifically for my healer to do a leveling roulette with healer in need and what I got was Ifrit
twilit arch
strip down to your weapon and hope you don't one shot it
remote lintel
or auto attack it and run away
open ember
I just take all my gear off
Except my weapon
It works
Just gotta be nakey for a bit lol
Or put a weak ass dot on them
bold trout
How do I get to Gridania from Luminsa
remote lintel
what msq level are you
bold trout
Teleport level seems like a lot
remote lintel
you get there at msq lvl 15
cedar compass
aetheryte or MSQ if you avent unlocked it yet
bold trout
I did get there earlier but I forgot how I went there
remote lintel

Is it me or Luminsa is confusing

Heya, wondering where I can get Garden Gravel from.
Garlondtools says it's in the Scrip Exchange (Lv. 50) but there's some items missing from the list garlond has for the npc,
anything I'm missing here?
wispy parcel
Ul'Dah is worse imo
open rivet
yes, I got 600
open ember
And its not showing?
open rivet
I can access the store, but garden gravel & a few other items are missing
bold trout
Ok good to know I'm not alone lol
open rivet
I checked both Limsa & Gridania
twilit arch
it might be tied to rhaglr's reach unlock
open rivet
oof
bold trout
Is the story really nice or should I just skip lol
open ember
Oh probably
open rivet
ok, time to MSQ then
remote lintel
the story is the reason why most players play the game
plush hound

remote lintel
its a final fantasy game
open ember
Oh wait
remote lintel
of course its gonna have a good story
open ember
Kae
It used to be red gatherers scrip
And first accessible in Stormblood
So yes
Its msq locked until you get to Rhalgr's Reach
I forgot red scrips existed lol
Before they scrapped them
fringe whale
Is there a market thing for posting what I would like to buy?
open ember
Market thing?
fringe whale
I am trying to get Ice Shards from the market but they are being sold in quantity way larger than I can afford
fringe whale
😦 No, I was hoping to avoid that
open ember
Aw
fringe whale
Besides, it's handy if I could post buy orders at lower price
remote lintel
world hop
open coral
If you can't afford the ones on the MB, killing ice sprites, leveling Botanist or Miner can also provide sources for you.
boreal storm
Miner/botanist can farm shards
finite trout
Guys if i'm waiting since 12min for a Whorleater hard restarting the matchaking can help or?
remote lintel
requeueing wont help
open coral
What role are you queued as @finite trout ?
finite trout
Tank
remote lintel
itll just put you at the bottom again
open coral
Yeah, don't requeue. Just wait it out. Do some sidequests or something if you don't just want to sit around.
It shouldn't take too much longer since you should be coming up on regional prime play time for EU.
finite trout
Later dungeons are always like that? 😮

tidal yarrow
if I blacklist someone do I hear their bard shitty music?
fast hull
I think there is an option to turn off bard music in configuration? dont know how though
twilit arch
you can disable performance in the config settings, but not sure if blist would also remove the sound effects
tidal yarrow
there is but I want only them to be muted
remote lintel
you cant afaik
tidal yarrow
sad
fast hull
I don't know if this will help though
Is that part MSQ locked, trying to collect currents
strange coral
There's a cave in Ondo Cups that leads down there iirc
remote lintel
the msq takes you there
fringe whale
Are red mage considered a difficult class to play
whole wasp
Considered the easiest caster class
fringe whale
Excellent, might be perfect for my big brain
wispy parcel
Red Mage also has a resurrection spell so if both healers die they can save raids
plush hound
Assuming they remember they have it. 😛
fringe whale
I see a lot of people with weapons that look like... gems? crystals? When do I start getting those?
plush hound
If it's one's I'm thinking of not until ShB.
remote lintel
do you have a screenshot
like the weapon is shaped like a crystal or the texture is like crystal?
fringe whale
Texture
remote lintel
those are from ultimates
remote lintel
the hardest content in the game
open ember
Do you have a picture
agile laurel
we'd need a specific example yeah
open ember
Alexander ones are peach-ish with gears
Bahamut is yellow with a nice glow
And ultima is blue
fringe whale
I'll link one as soon as I find someone who stands still ):<
open ember
Or it could be Eureka pyros/hydatos weapons
fringe whale
Similar, not sure if it's the ones I have in mind.
remote lintel
the texture i mean
fringe whale
I saw some red and blue ones
remote lintel
theyre from ultimates
fringe whale
I want to say no, but I am not sure
remote lintel
oh
strange coral
There's the bluespirit weapons which look like blue crystals but don't glow
open ember
There's no ultimate weapons that are red tho
