I assume the edition, not the upgrade
graceful bloom
Yeah i bought collection edition
graceful bloom
Lazy cuz i don't have discord on my laptop
remote lintel
what is the code for EXACTLY
faint flare
Also i dont think it goes in item code idk
halcyon glen
Yeah that’s the wrong entry screen
remote lintel
try "expansion code"
remote lintel
also I would censor the code next time
halcyon glen
Actually one other check - can you go back one screen and check under “account status” it says “For Windows® Version License Owners.”
halcyon glen
Okey!

How do you get more Aetherflow pool besides dissipation every 120s?
halcyon glen
The Aetherflow skill
elder sinew
?
faint flare
!action Aetherflow
halcyon glen
!action Aetherflow
halcyon glen
Oops
elder sinew
Ah
faint flare
Dissipation is just extra if you need ot
elder sinew
Only the 2 ways then
halcyon glen
Dissipation is an emergency refresh
jade quartz
Not emergency
halcyon glen
Beyond that you’re out of luck
jade quartz
Dissipation is a planned cooldown use
faint flare
Recitation is a Free Aetherflow skill essentially every 90s
halcyon glen
I misspoke, sorry

The racial gear vendor near the aetherite in any starter town @lethal cape!
remote lintel
brugaire consortium

The easiest to find for me (but I’m biased) is the one labeled like flower shop or something just west of NG’s aetherite
Brugaire consortium is the one in Limsa

So as SCH you just don't get Emergency Aether flow?
It's more like, you use an unplanned aether flow then you lose the planned damage right?

hardy gazelle
how do you meld onto lv 80 gear
can you do it with the npoc melders
it wont let me
faint flare
Materia melder npcs
hardy gazelle
neo ishgard specifically if it matters
faint flare
If you want to meld without npcs, you need to level a crafter up to the gear's level
Otherwise has to be NPc

So whats the big difference in servers? I don't quite remember, but i have a character i actually played on balmung (i think was a rp server?) And one thats not been played on diabolos
ripe meteor
u can get an FC apartment or a regular apartment too
manic flare
@ripe meteor what do you mean learn them?
ripe meteor
click it and u learn it
faint flare
There isnt much difference in servers, its more data centres
remote lintel
there is no difference between servers, there's slight difference between data centers
manic flare
there is a difference between servers, some servers i hear aren't very noob friendly
whereas other servers are
graceful bloom
Hows balmung?
remote lintel
and matchmaking is data center wide
ripe meteor
since cross world started years ago your server never really mattered
faint flare
Its fine, qell populated and has a large RP community, goes over all crystal
manic flare
i hear there is a lot of erotic RP in balmung@graceful bloom which may or may not be your thing
remote lintel
crystal has more rpers
manic flare
my buddy who started a character in balmung got hit on the very first day
brave ravine
protip: you're not required to ERP
faint flare
Crystal has a slightly smaller raiding community but its not impossible
manic flare
@graceful bloom stick with Coerl, it seems to be the most noob friendly
remote lintel
again
manic flare
and i believe it's a preferred server at t he moment
remote lintel
there is no difference between individual servers
graceful bloom
But im not a noob :( lol
remote lintel
only data center matters
graceful bloom
So they are all pretty active?
remote lintel
yes
faint flare
Yes
graceful bloom
Coolio
manic flare
what does it mean if you learn an orchestrion roll?
can u play the music with your bard?
remote lintel
no

You can use. It with Orchestons in houses

gusty comet
Think Red Mage is a good choice to level to 80 for the new patch?
I'm getting close to lvl 50 when it unlocks and I was going to change but im not sure how well it will do in the next raid
gusty comet
Just heard that some jobs are more suited to some patches than others
And I dont see any job changes mentioned in the patch teasers
crimson wind
What percentage is GL2?
little swift
if you're referring to expansion mascots
gusty comet
all right, Red Mage it is then. I always prefer casters in games
Nothing ever outdamages a mage
little swift
then it would be warrior for ARR, dragoon for HW, monk/samurai for SB, dark knight for SHB
faint flare
Greased lightning is 5% per stack
remote lintel
@gusty comet red mage has the lowest damage of the casters
gusty comet
So should I stay Black Mage then?
crimson wind
So GL3 is 15%?
gusty comet
I dont know what I like
remote lintel
it's damage isn't bad
crimson wind
Nothing ever outdamages a mage
@gusty comet
remote lintel
then play them both
gusty comet
I just like huge damage and casters
little swift
honestly play what you like
the damage difference is only really at highest skilled play
most people won't ever notice it
your skill with the job matters more than its "inherent damage"
gusty comet
Red Mage looked like it had the same exact skills
little swift
red mage plays differently from black mage
gusty comet
Just looked like White merged with Black
little swift
red mage has party buffs
black mage doesn't
red mage has a melee burst phase
black mage is about shoving as many fucking explosions into your fire phase as possible
gusty comet
hmm, I really hate melee
little swift
and being in ice phase as little as possible
remote lintel
it's like 10% melee
gleaming mist
the melee burst phase lasts 3 gcds
verbal rune
black mage is about shoving as many fucking explosions into your fire phase as possible
@little swift basically Megumin
gusty comet
and yeah I noticed that already on my Thaumaturge that I only stay in ice long enough to recover my mana and then I transpose and spam fire
gusty comet
good, means I already hit on the proper spell rotation
little swift
you can play every job on one character so its fine to play both
remote lintel
that's what I said
little swift
well black mage's spell rotation changes bit by bit as you level
gusty comet
Yeah but every character has to be leveled
little swift
!faq blmleveling
zinc orbitBOT
gusty comet
man this game is WAY more complex than it looks
gusty comet
I have an easier time playing my DK on BDO
little swift
most of the jobs build on itself bit by bit
remote lintel
bdo isn't a traditional mmo
little swift
and black mage isn't any different

prisma canopy
hi can someone help me getting some blue mage spells ?
remote lintel
yes @lost grove
little swift
!faq bluguide
zinc orbitBOT
gusty comet
geez there is an faq for everything
prisma canopy
like going on unsync on as much dungeon as you want and bully soime boss
little swift
but if you're asking for someone to help you acquire them, you're probably ebtter of setting up a party finder
do it synced for 100% learn rate
faint flare
Do it synced, its guaranteed to lear
lost grove
@remote lintel he just won't be able to do SB n ShB with me?
little swift
and no there isn't an FAQ for everything yet
faint flare
Throw up party finder and let anyone join
prisma canopy
i just can't kill some of the boss alone
remote lintel
free trial didn't have sb or shb
faint flare
Party finder up
little swift
do it as a full party in party finder
faint flare
Let anyone join
prisma canopy
how do i do it ?
faint flare
And you're guaranteed to learn the spell
prisma canopy
i can't find a party as blue mage can i ?
jade quartz
The party finder is where you post party recruitment ads
faint flare
You can party finder
jade quartz
not to be confused with the duty finder, where you queue for an auto-matchmade party
gusty comet
So just to be sure that I wont get yelled at once I hit high levels, a Black Mage will hold its own at end game content just as well as say a machinist that unlocks at a way higher level?
prisma canopy
oh
jade quartz
balance is very tight for an MMO
gusty comet
Why lock certain jobs to way higher level requirements then?
jade quartz
Those jobs were added in expansions
faint flare
Because expansion jobs
gusty comet
It makes them seem better
faint flare
Level means nothing in this game
jade quartz
and start at higher levels so you don't have to level them all the way from 1
jade quartz
no
faint flare
Expansion jobs start higher
gusty comet
ok I understand now
faint flare
Heavensward jobs start at 30, stormblood jobs starts at 50 and Shadowbringers jobs start at 60
little swift
expac jobs start higher so you don't waste as much time leveling them to max
faint flare
And so people can pick them up on expansion launch and play through the story with them quicker
gusty comet
All right, that makes it much easier
I was thinking that I had to start all over for every single job
heady knot
i feel dumb asking this but are there anyway to walk faster in game
other than mounts flying
faint flare
No
eager widget
there’s sprint, some jobs have gap closers but thats about it
jade quartz
there's increased ground mount speed maps
which
are still slower than flying
and so rather superfluous
jade quartz
Shadowbringers riding maps are purchased with Bicolor Gemstones from merchants in each zone, after clearing six FATEs in that zone.
I'd say getting those is at least worth it
because zero-star mount speed is so agonising
and you don't get one-star through MSQ in ShB like you do everywhere else
heady knot
i have not get all aether currents in all exapnsions i may get those after i finish story
what riding maps do
wispy river
For WHM, is the stat priority other than vitality and mind: Crit > Direct Hit > Determination > Spell Speed > Piety
graceful bloom
They added blue mage?
jade quartz
Riding maps increase your mount speed on the ground.

Put up party finder and unsync it with lv80s

exotic pumice
Ok I'm trying to find this weapon
The weapons page says its in Wanderers palace
But in the dungeons page it's not in the loot list
So what's up? Where do i find this sword
strange coral
You can buy it in Upper Noscea from Junkermongers
exotic pumice
Ok so then the page is wrong then?

If you choose to start from "Final Phase" for e8s, you start from after Adds right?
faint flare
No
ripe hound
Using the in game duty finder settings
Wait then where does it starts?
Before adds?
faint flare
At the start
ripe hound
Wait wut
faint flare
It doesn't change anything
ripe hound
Oh my
ripe hound
Ok I am a bit suprised
faint flare
Otherwise everyone would que with last phase and ignore LR
ripe hound
So that thing is just "find other players practicing the same section"?
I see
Yeah I thought it is for you to practice starting from final phase
Like allow you to start from second phase, but don't count a clear nor get loot
Just for practice
I see I was wrong then

What dc you on
gusty comet
Primal
faint flare
There's alot of dungeons for the story
They're all in roulettes
So they do pop eventually
gusty comet
Its stupid, you have to sit and wait for players around your level to sit and wait
faint flare
No
Dungeons sync people down
And they're in roulettes
So you can and will be getting higher level players in your dungeons
But they'll be synced to that level
gusty comet
I've been sitting here for almost 7 minutes now and only 1 other person has dropped in
faint flare
If you're a dps its expected to have long ques
gusty comet
great
little swift
7 minutes isn't long at all
gusty comet
Yeah this game and I are not going to get along
I dont like roles that get me yelled at
faint flare
People are kind to new players
gusty comet
I know
gusty comet
dps dont get yelled at
faint flare
They do
gusty comet
tanks and healers always do
little swift
i think you're just coming into this game with too many pre-conceived notions about how mmos work
gusty comet
dealing damage is easy
little swift
yes there are a lot of similarities but no it doesn't always work the way you think
faint flare
You think that but aloooot of people cany do simple rotations
Tanking is much easier than dps
Put stance up > hit shit > rotate defensive cooldowns

Is it normal for the queue for the jade stoa trial (Byakko normal) to be super long for dps?? I’ve waited 30+ minutes a few times over without it popping but I’m wondering if it’s better to just unsync>party finder instead of trying to do it synced
faint flare
Yes because its optional side content
karmic niche
you can have all the classes in one character
faint flare
And not much reason to do it

@karmic niche may I ask why should I dont do palace too much?
oblique trellis
@karmic niche Yeah just wasn't sure if it was "Swords" or "2-Handed weapons"

so I can ignore that quest line??

So i need some real help here and this is going to sound super dumb. Im a free trial player rn and just finished Cape Westwind. Super easy but both times i got one shot with no telegraph or anything and im so confused. I re-queued to try and see what i did wrong and it happened again. This time i asked my party what happened and they were just as confused as me. Can somebody explain or am i just so bad i die instantly?

I got a newbie question. First time really playing the game, am I better off leveling one class at a time or progressing with all the classes trying to stay equal as I level?
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo whatever you want
but if you mean literally every single class that would be hard
leaden ginkgo
Would progressing one class over the others unlock things that make leveling the other classes easier?
vernal urchin
@lavish ginkgo yeah level 32 stuff in a level 49 fight is liable to get you killed quickly lol
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo yes
vernal urchin
But generally your level of gear only affects you
cosmic token
is this a good/hard to obtain item?

Great thanks
tender estuary
@worn scaffold what kind of lag are you getting
zinc orbitBOT
patent citrus
@worn scaffold lag isn't determined by ping
raw solstice
it absolutely can be
patent citrus
it's determined by how much percent of packet loss you are getting
raw solstice
packet loss is another issue that usually comes along with it though
tender estuary
you could certainly do a traceroute
and see if you are getting dropped packets somewhere
otherwise whats common with XIV is hard drive utilization being overtaxed by something else
causing everything to "pause" briefly and continue
I've even had it happen to me personally when steam was updating something, for whatever reason steam really loves to bottleneck the I/O lol
worn scaffold
Lag spike is what it is? I have a hard time double weaving and when I input an ability, it sometimes does not registers and I get kicked out of the server
vapid spear
kk
tender estuary
you can try doing ping <server IP> -t
little swift
They're fine to talk about here
tender estuary
that will continue to ping the server until you press ctrl + c
leaden ginkgo
Ahhh okay @little swift
little swift
Just don't be sus with the mods you use
leaden ginkgo
In that case, CMTool for example can get you banned if you have it running while on the character load menu, or in the barber
patent citrus
yeah that's packet loss alright
if you get kicked out of the server
i run this on background
worn scaffold
I see
patent citrus
oh right it's -t
worn scaffold
Ok lemme try it out
tender estuary
once you hit ctrl + c it'll terminate the ping command and give you the total percent lost
run it in the background
if you get booted again
see if you see "connection timed out." or "request timed out." or a huge time= number
worn scaffold
Huh... FFXIV not responding when booting up 🤔
I'm getting a lot of "request timed out" while the game is still running
tender estuary
well, you can try doing a traceroute to see if its your home connection causing issues or some hop on the way there

I guess just try the usual home network troubleshooting steps, power cycle modem, router, make sure connection is fully inserted if using ethernet otherwise try using wifi instead and vice versa
I dont really believe its related to your dns cache

Right click ffxiv_dx11.exe, properties, compatibility tab, change high DPI settings button, enable Override high DPI scaling behavior, and set the dropdown to Application
manic flare
quick question for the fashion report
do i have to leave the waist and off-hand unequipped to get the full points?
tender estuary
one sec, I think there is a trick you can try that might help trying to remember it
manic flare
does the waist have to be empty?
faint flare
Waist and off hand dont need to be filled
manic flare
@faint flare but it's ok if it is filled?
tender estuary
@worn scaffold alright try this
go to your documents
my games
ffxiv
then select the FFXIV file in the folder
well right click it and edit it with notepad
then under network settings change the Universal Plug n Play option (UPnP) from 1 to 0
then remember to save it and close notepad
then try launching the game again
and test that
worn scaffold
oooh kk
vapid spear
How do I make it so, music doesnt turn off while alt tabbed
or rather all sounds
Nvm
Found it
vapid spear
ty
worn scaffold
ok settings changed and saved
tender estuary
alright give it a shot
just ping me if it doesnt work I dont actively monitor this chat
worn scaffold
@tender estuary All good and no I'm still getting packet loss
tender estuary
what about disabling your anti virus and firewall rules in windows
windows defender
and if you use a 3rd party anti virus try disabling that too
tender estuary
alright, disable that
worn scaffold
one sec
vapid spear
how do i get the camera to follow the mouse instead of dragging it
clever summit
@vapid spear Right click?
vapid spear
what do you mean by that
right click, left click
i just want the camera to follow my mouse
tender estuary
right click controls your character, left click controls the camera
I dont think you can do that you have to left click and hold to move camera
and if you can its news to me 😂
raw solstice
yeah, no mouselook
tender estuary
well otherwise it'd be impossible to click UI elements
worn scaffold
@tender estuary I disabled both and I'm still getting hiccups unfortunately
A lot of request time outs
tender estuary
are you on wifi or ethernet
worn scaffold
ethernet
tender estuary
can you use wifi
worn scaffold
No :< my motherboard doesnt have wifi
vapid spear
Is there map rotation option
tender estuary
nope
vapid spear
bruh
tender estuary
you can only zoom in and out
worn scaffold
This is bogus. This only started happening when the 5.35 update came out... sigh
Maybe I should just reboot my router or call my ISP
tender estuary
that'd be the easiest solution, I guess its possible some netcode from the host machine got messed up or some dependencies got messed up
I guess try these things in order before you call your ISP
power cycle modem and router
do a ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
change the dns server from your auto DHCP lease to a manually set one (ask if you dont know how np telling you)
its frustrating because you arent the only one that has had these issues before, several people have had issues getting random DCs during instanced duties but seem to have no problems outside of instances lol
astral crescent
is there any reason to do the relic weapon quests for the older endgames, or just wait till/work on the current one?
steel mortar
only for glamour
raw solstice
it's easier to get a far better weapon much easier/quicker than getting a relic weapon for each old expansion
worn scaffold
Will do. Thanks for all the help btw
astral crescent
yeah, that makes sense.
tender estuary
yeah np
patent citrus
doesn't work like that 😂 . Yeah, if it was stable before, then it's the ISP problem
gritty oracle
Would this macro work to rearrange hotbars completely?
/bluespellbook preset 1
/hotbar blueaction "Sonic Boom" 1 1
/hotbar blueaction "Electrogenesis" 1 2
/hotbar blueaction "Pom Cure" 1 3
and so on until my hotbars are filled
or maybe get a better lan cable
tender estuary
he said it only happens to XIV
patent citrus
well his cmd isn't connected to XIV 😂
tender estuary
and frankly if it was straight connectivity issues it should slowly time out
not just straight drop connectivity
tender estuary
those are for individual channels, like event logs will show only in the event tab on the bottom left under the chat box
same with battle
you can create a custom one for things like tells/private message
or move a specific linkshell to that
vapid spear
kk
tender estuary
you cant change the names but you can change what they are
so if you wanted you could make battle not be battle but FC chat or something
narrow blade
ah ok
vapid spear
Can I play with friends on the free trial
zinc orbitBOT
raw solstice
yeah you can. You can't create a party on trial, but you can be invited to one. If you're all on trial you can get someone else to invite you to a party so you can be together
raw solstice
if you mean for party, yes. If you mean for friends' list, yes. Here's an overall list of restrictions for free trial: https://support.na.square-enix.com/rule.php?id=5382&tag=freetrial
vapid spear
i dont see anything on friends
vapid spear
when i type in chat and hit enter
it exits me out of the chat bar
how do i make it so, hitting enter, keeps me in
to type another line
raw solstice
no way to do so, as far as I'm aware
vapid spear
fuck
forest sphinx
Is it still possible to acquire Matoya's hat?
leaden ginkgo
okay i unlocked bozjan and i have took for want of a memory can i go with another class and still get drops now ?
or it should be same relic class
?
brave ravine
you can switch to any job you want
brave ravine
you must have the quest, that is all
leaden ginkgo
okay
patent citrus
@forest sphinx you mean this? https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Matoya's_Hat 😂
the naming though
hmm pretty sure i've seen the panel before
like the history of people you partied with..
i'm trying to find it -_-
stupid question, but do you mean physically irl? no right?
patent citrus
ohh
raw solstice
be in the same zone, you'll see a small blue dot where they are
assuming you're in the same party
if you're not just plan on a communal meeting place, like a major aetheryte or something
patent citrus
call him irl maybe.. like meetup somewhere
vapid spear
blue dot is too small
patent citrus
or communicate through discord? 🤔
vapid spear
we found each other
patent citrus
ah ok
vapid spear
i wish there was a fast travel to player option
little swift
if someone takes your referral, you also get the aetheryte crystal
which lets you teleport to players on your friends list with the sprout icon
free
vapid spear
referral?
patent citrus
oh nice
little swift
teleports you to the closest aetheryte to them
patent citrus
yeah, refer a friend feature
flint lagoon
Neat! Too bad no new friend to refer to 
spare plinth
is it just me or there was a time where i think if you were in uldah you can hear answers playing?
faint flare
That was during the Rising event
spare plinth
oh
faint flare
Music in the main cities Change for a small arra during most seasonal events
flint lagoon
I did throw my code in there.
lone spruce
Wait so someone told me that you could give your retainer clothes to wear, how do I do that?
faint flare
You need to assign them a job first, by completing an ill convinced venture in any major city
Then you can equip them
lone spruce
Yeah I did that, just didn't give her a job yet
vapid spear
can i click on the map and have my character go there?
faint flare
No
lone spruce
I want to make her a miner but I'm also too lazy to unlock it lmao
faint flare
You can only auto run forward
vapid spear
wtf is the point of all this steering then
gritty oracle
You can also glamour them in a roundabout way
- Take clothes off retainer
- Equip clothes yourself
- Glamour over the clothes
- Unequip clothes
- Put the now-glamoured clothes on retainer
You can turn on autorun and then just steer your character with rightclick
forest sphinx
@patent citrus Ah! Yes, that hat! Is that still available to acquire?
gritty oracle
Just
Don't autorun in trials and raids
I've accidentally run off the platform more times than I want to admit
patent citrus
wew i'm not sure.. looks like it's se store exclusive item o_o
maybe other people can help
twilit arch
yes, its from ordering the encyclopedia eorzea 2
patent citrus
vapid spear
how to delete hud elements
patent citrus
right click on it
forest sphinx
So I have to purchase an Encyclopedia for it
vapid spear
is there skill points with levels?
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
No
vapid spear
do enemies just not attack you first?
cedar compass
I'm level 55 FSH. Should i continue with levequests or do ishgardian resto?
faint flare
Some enemies are passive, others are hostile
Enemies with a blue icon next to their name is passive
Red are hostile
fresh lodge
You get a mount later on
faint flare
Running no, you have spront for a temporary increase
fresh lodge
But besides that no unless you're a ninja
vapid spear
why is my friend who is in my party, have all ??? for hp and mp
sullen lark
Is there any meta with the classes for the Squadron dungeon runs?
faint flare
Because you're not in the same area
vapid spear
kk
faint flare
It only shows Hp/mp when you're in the same area
tidal yarrow
by doing ilya, is there a possibility someone has to improvise and adjust regarding towers?
like, as sam, I always take 4
but it just happened that also the other melee stayed on 4
and boom
olive inlet
hi whats the number on the bottom left?
little swift
it'll always be 1 tank 1 healer 2 dps getting chains and the same for orbs
crisp ether
recommended party size
olive inlet
oh ok tyty
little swift
and people call for m1 m2 r1 r 2
@tidal yarrow it doesn't matter which strat you use it'll still have that possibility. you have to know who's adjusting in the those situations
leaden ginkgo
bozjan clusters are not dropping is this normal ?
i did 3 skirmishes and 4 fates

Clusters come from the mech enemies, not from skirmishes

after you finish the MSQ
leaden ginkgo
Can I get help with Bozjan quest Lost no Longer and I have forgotten fragments in my inve tory but they're not counting for the quest? Can someone tell me please what im missing
leaden ginkgo
Mine are preparation and awakening
crisp ether
just keep killing stuff until you get a fragment of skill
royal lichen
Is there a high crit class? I kinda want to play a sniper... I know it's either bard or machinist, I just want to hear it from the vets
leaden ginkgo
Can u give me an example?
crisp ether
there's 2 fates in the southern area that are called "Conflicting with the First Law" and "Sneak and Spell", both of those should reward a fragment of skill
otherwise if you dont want to wait you can buy one off the marketboard as well
leaden ginkgo
Lol I just got one, when u said skill, I thought u meant a certain type of skill
Thanks for helping me understand
crisp ether
no problem
leaden ginkgo
They really should add that in the text though, I was so confused
crisp ether
apparently it does exist in the JP version but the translation musta got messed up
faint flare
Yeah English translations for some aren't right...one of the banners is incorrect in its buff
crimson wind
Once i get FPF I can just spam my aoe combo?
Rather than needing to get twin and GL up?
gleaming mist
should put twin snakes up, as fpf only refreshes it
otherwise yeah, aoe away in trash packs
kind eagle
Who is ayatori
gleaming mist
and your aoe combo finisher, rockbreaker gives/refreshes GL anyway
patent citrus
1-80? what the/
cedar compass
HQ levequest with the bonuses
It wasn't even expensive. Like 100k and I overspent probably
crisp ether
i dont think the armory bonus applies to doh/dol
zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
Armoury bonus doesn’t apply to DoH/L no
But HQ doubles your exp
Then road to 70 doubles it again
And the rest would be idk
honest anvil
Does GC delivery ever ask for the gears acquired from MSq?
hazy shadow
What is the recommended gear level for eden normal?
patent citrus
well if you can queue it, then you are above it
hasty musk
^^^ e8 normal has an ilvl requirement of 455
patent citrus
if you can't, it will be written there what's the ilvl requirement
hazy shadow
Which I get, I'm 458, but wasn't sure if there was an item level that would be better preferred so as to have a smooth run.
hasty musk
well it'd be the highest possible, but that's not necessary
patent citrus
yeah, you can do it. don't worry
hazy shadow
Okie dokie. Thank you.
bronze narwhal
whats the differences between expert roulette and lv80 dungeon roulette beside prizes?
hasty musk
different dungeons
twilit arch
expert only has the last two lvl 80 dungeons (heroes gauntlet/anamesis anyder for now)
80 dungeon roulette has the others
bronze narwhal
ooooh, alright thank you
so basically expert is just between ||gauntlet and anyder|| huh
twilit arch
yes, and when 5.4 comes out it'll be gauntlet and matoya's relict
ananemsis will be moved down into 80 roulette
leaden ginkgo
Hey do you know where i can search a guild except on this discord server ?>.> (im french and i play on louisoix)

is it best for healers to get all the 490+ pieces with innate crit on them?
mixing and matching sets
remote lintel
theres a bunch of 490 pieces
elder meteor
yeah I know. should I get the ones that come with crit on them?
elder meteor
ok so like there are edenchoir and augmented crystarium at ilvl 500 for hats. one has more crit than the other. which should I get?

to get married do both people have to buy the thing off of the final fantasy store?
or just one
twilit arch
both have to buy
also needs to be the same plan or else the lower cost one is gonna be used
remote lintel
or you could buy it and trade it to them and buy it again
if youre going for the paid ones
twilit arch
either way you need 2 bracelets
outer plank
new white scrip gear is coming for crafters next patch right?
should i save my scrips for those? i dont have facet/asthete yet but i'd imagine they would probably be a set below one of them
twilit arch
not a full new set, possibly professional accesories
outer plank
oh
leaden ginkgo
What do you guys think is the easiest & fastest collectable (if you gather everything yourself) for yellow scrips?
fast hull
question: what roulletes can you spam to cap the 450 weekly allegory tome thingy
twilit arch
you can do 5 experts a week and cap that way
or do expert + 80 roulette and be done in like 3 iirc
fast hull
Ah so I can only get those after the MSQ? someone told be to be a mentor so I can do mentor roulletes but its locked?
plain python
is there a reason for some trials/dungeons labeled as "Hard" when they don't have a "Normal" version?
twilit arch
if you dont have expert/80 roulette unlocked
then do msq+alliance as a lvl 80 since those give 50 a piece
but then you're giving up exp for it
fast hull
thats alright, I'm almost 80, only sam is 78
