[onyx kiln]

are items like Illuminati Gobtwine not in the game anymore?

[spare plinth]

is sch's excog similar to ast's essential dignity?

[karmic veldt]

OG Gobtwine is not in the game.

Apart from as a drop

[onyx kiln]

does that mean that the vendor who you usually go to too get augemnted lv 60 gear is usless now?

[obsidian patio]

All of the ARR/HW/SB upgrade items aren’t obtainable anymore

[karmic veldt]

Darkest Gobtwine and Deepest Gobtwine are still around.

Oh wait.

Yeah, I guess they have been removed, huh.

[young fjord]

exgog is, "I expect something to happen so I will place this auto heal for when it does"

essential is "ohh shit, he took a big hit, I better use this button" @spare plinth

[obsidian patio]

You can still upgrade unaugmented Shire/Scaevan with poetics at the calamity salvager

Or their normal upgrade vendors if you still have the upgrade items

Unaugmented Ironworks is the odd one out, if you don’t have the upgrade items for them you can’t upgrade them at all

Since those can’t be upgraded with poetics for whatever reason. :/

[lethal cape]

Sooo... This is how my HUD looks like, but as you can see I have 3 open slots
What should I put in there?

I have most of the stuff in colapseable hotbards, so I'm not sure what to put in there...

*talking about the open slots on my hotbar

[leaden ginkgo]

how can I interrupt a macro?

[obsidian patio]

With another macro

[leaden ginkgo]

thx

[obsidian patio]

Something simple like
/echo stop
Is good enough

/echo being a chat channel only you can see

[lethal cape]

What's echo stop? o.o

Aa

[obsidian patio]

@lethal cape I don’t think I see any missing actions, so maybe just other mounts/minions you like to use? 🤷‍♂️

[lethal cape]

Got those already

Any other ideas of what I could put in there? 🤔

[slate arrow]

honestly you've got everything pretty well set up already

can't think of anything to add besides stuff like actions and traits or the character menu

[lethal cape]

Hm, I see o.o

Aight, I guess I'll just have 3 empty slots 🤷‍♂️

Maybe elixir or something later on

[obsidian patio]

Or an unmacro’d raise for continuous raising

Like if a bunch of people are dead

[wispy parcel]

You almost never use items in this game fyi

[lethal cape]

oh

[obsidian patio]

Ethers are good for healers if you don’t min-max with stat potions

Or do content that recommends the usage of stat potions

[lethal cape]

That's one slot filled I guess

1 more can go for ethers (which I guess are mana pots)

What about the last spot? 🤔

[slate arrow]

@lethal cape could just slap in duty action

[karmic veldt]

Is that what they're calling it these days?

[lethal cape]

Got those

[obsidian patio]

I recommend ethers specifically instead of elixirs

They give more MP

[lethal cape]

I don't have any in my inv atm 🤷‍♂️

[obsidian patio]

F

[lethal cape]

I'm still new to ffxiv lol

[slate arrow]

"new"

[lethal cape]

Yeah

[slate arrow]

lmao

[lethal cape]

I just finished ShB

[cosmic token]

that.. is new yeah, especially if there's a lot of afking involved lol

[lethal cape]

Yup

[versed hamlet]

how do I do the "third time's the charm" bozjan quest? It wants me to investigate a zone full of guys that 1-shot me

[slate arrow]

@versed hamlet walk + no aggro

[obsidian patio]

Or wait until day

[slate arrow]

They have sound + blood aggro

[obsidian patio]

If that’s the spot with the dullahans

[slate arrow]

So don't run and don't get hit by anything while in that area

[versed hamlet]

hah, ok weird mechanic (and rip like 1000 mettle :<)

[cosmic token]

When training your chocobo, do you always have to use their favorite food, or once it becomes their fav you can do regular krakka?

[lethal cape]

Where do I get those Ethers from btw?

[obsidian patio]

Mostly crafted/marketboard

A few early ones come from vendors

[lethal cape]

Ah okie

[fast hull]

I thought vendors sold ethers?

[obsidian patio]

Only the super weak ones

!item super-ether

[zinc orbit]

**Super-Ether** **:** Medicine : ilvl 290

Processed via the alchemical extraction of aetheric essence occurring in elemental crystals, the contents of this vial instantly restore a significant amount of MP.

Powered by XIVAPI

[slate arrow]

Since the cooldown on them are super long as well, it's not a good idea to rely on them.

[obsidian patio]

This one restores 1,600, IIRC

[lethal cape]

So I got aethers and a non-macro raise... What else should I put? 🤔

[slate arrow]

Duty finder, friends list, party finder

[versed hamlet]

@slate arrow @obsidian patio lol it was daytime when i went back the third time

[lethal cape]

Got those already

[slate arrow]

You're too through I can't think of anything haha

Hm, actually

Do you have /timers ?

[lethal cape]

I even have chocobo things

[faint flare]

Potions of Mind

[lethal cape]

Mind pots share CD with Ethers iirc

[slate arrow]

all items do yeah but restore potions are good for progression while stat potions are good for farm

big damages woo

[lethal cape]

Do you have /timers ?
I actually don't, although I'll add them to my Duty colapseable bar

[slate arrow]

finally, my niche knowledge comes into play

Wooo

[lethal cape]

Yeah but I'm still missing 1 spot on my main hotbar

Cuz I have colapseable categories on which I add things

[slate arrow]

Could slap in your gear list button there

unless you have that already

[lethal cape]

I have those

I only have 3 jobs unlocked atm cuz as I said, I am new 😅

[slate arrow]

I can't think of anything, then. What don't you have bound from Actions and Traits?

[elder sinew]

For AST, trying to get different seals for Divination. What icon do you look for to create 3 different seals for the 6% bonus

[slate arrow]

@elder sinew the top one. In this case, the sun

[lethal cape]

Sooo...
I got:

• DPS jobs
• Tank jobs
• Healer jobs
• Professions
• Chocobo related things
• Hunts
• Duty things
• Travel (mounts/minions/telerports)
• Greets emotes
• Normal emotes
• System config
• Toggle duties on hud

[elder sinew]

I only see the sun and the blue thing

So only 2

[slate arrow]

when you play a card in combat, it will also grant you the seal

[gusty furnace]

So it says the treasure maps reset after 18 hours

is it ET or LT?

[slate arrow]

LT

[faint flare]

There's the sun. Moon and Celestial (blue thing)

For symbols

[elder sinew]

Ah

[gusty furnace]

oki ^^

[elder sinew]

Is that randomized or attached to the same card?

[slate arrow]

attached to the card

[elder sinew]

Hmm gotta memorize that then

[slate arrow]

You don't

Just look at the border and the seal

[elder sinew]

Purple/blue/green?

[slate arrow]

there's only purple and blue

Purple is ranged, blue is melee

[halcyon glen]

And then the seals are shown above the card itself on the gauge

[elder sinew]

So The Bole is always Sun seal + ranged class

[faint flare]

Yes

The cards always do the same thing

[wind pine]

Hi, I am trying to do the Grand Company (Malestrom) hunting logs, but I can't find Heckler Imp, Doctore, or Firemane. The book tells me they are in Halatali, but when I ran the dungeon they did not appear, and I can find nothing on this.

[slate arrow]

Halitali normal or hard?

[wind pine]

normal

[faint flare]

Firemane is the last boss

[wind pine]

The dungeon also looks different from the videos I saw from people doing Hatalali

[little swift]

the dungeon hasn't changed

[faint flare]

You're probably being put into a different dungeon

[little swift]

its the same all the way through

make sure you queued for halatali normal

[faint flare]

Cause you have multiple duties selected

[slate arrow]

You might've been doing halitali hard by accident

[wind pine]

Ah, I might be

thanks for the help

[crimson wind]

Which is theoretically better, recitation Adlo or recitation Excog?

[slate arrow]

recite excog for heals, recite adlo > emergency tactics for raidwide damage

[faint flare]

Adlo if you need shielding, Excog otherwise

Gives you free aetherflow basically

[crimson wind]

k

[leaden ginkgo]

i am trying to learn sch but the gauge is not increasing

also the 3 bars

[faint flare]

The fairy gauge increases everytime you use an skill that costs aetherflow

[cinder maple]

I have an Antiquated Chaos Burgeonet for my DRK but I can't recall how or where I got it. Any ideas?

[faint flare]

The 3 bars shows your aetherflow stacks you get via using Aetherflow

Or via Dissipation

[leaden ginkgo]

so every 60 seconds u can get 3

[faint flare]

Yes

And thats the whole point of Scholar

Managing your aetherflow effectively

[gritty oracle]

I got into an argument with a friend. Is the Studium more like magic high school or magic university? Since 11 to enter magic university would be like, unheard of prodigy, but the Archons sound like they have their PhDs.

[fossil owl]

university

but old university

not modern

[remote lintel]

its not a high school

[gritty oracle]

Can you elaborate? Not overly familiar with antiquated education systems.

[remote lintel]

a university is a group of colleges

[gritty oracle]

@cinder maple I think it's your artifact gear. My retainer brings me artifact gear sometimes.

[lethal cape]

How do I know what to keep and what to sell? o.o

[regal escarp]

hi, is the item from gold saucer tradeable, like the demon horn ?

[lethal cape]

I got so much stuff everywhere

[remote lintel]

stuff you dont use or materials @lethal cape

[gritty oracle]

No they aren't Madoka

[cinder maple]

@cinder maple I think it's your artifact gear. My retainer brings me artifact gear sometimes.
@gritty oracle ahh gotcha. would it be from exploration or quick exploration?

[gritty oracle]

quick explo

[lethal cape]

stuff you dont use or materials @lethal cape
@remote lintel And where do I sell things? Any vendor? Market board?

[simple pine]

do sams have flank positionals?

[remote lintel]

depends what the item is

[simple pine]

or only back?

[remote lintel]

yes wilco

[regal escarp]

ty, so my friend gotta farm her own casino coin

[faint flare]

They have borh

Kasha is flank

[gritty oracle]

also, hover over each item. If it's a food item or a crafting reagent with "Shop Selling Price: None" written on it, keep. Also keep grade 1 and 2 materia if you want to ever get a Zodiac weapon. Also keep dyes.

[regal escarp]

i mean the demon horn, or the bunny crown.

[faint flare]

Gekko is rear

[remote lintel]

@lethal cape if its a more expensive item like furniture or weapons try mb

[gritty oracle]

All GS items are untradeable iirc

[simple pine]

in memori misera a sam keeps messing up the baits because hes going for positionals, should you forego positionals in that fight?

[lethal cape]

depends what the item is
@remote lintel Well, I currently have only things I never use so I'm not sure

[remote lintel]

no

[regal escarp]

ty

[gritty oracle]

tell them to use true north

[agile laurel]

in memori misera a sam keeps messing up the baits because hes going for positionals, should you forego positionals in that fight?
general rule, just don't be a moron

[remote lintel]

materials are generally cheap

not materials are generally more expensive

[agile laurel]

death by greed = don't even try

[rotund sable]

the general rule is, if doing a positional will mess up you or the group, TN > no positional > death

[gritty oracle]

True North is a skill all melee dps have. It makes so they don't have to be in the positional to use their positional skills

[tidal osprey]

i thought make it rain slashed mgp prices by half

wtf

[remote lintel]

the campaign attendant has the discounted items

[tidal osprey]

oh

thank god thoguht i resubbed for no reason

... no mounts?

[faint flare]

No new items this year

[halcyon glen]

The mounts aren’t on sale no

[faint flare]

Only emote via quest

[halcyon glen]

However MGP gains are 1.5x

So you can more easily get the MGP needed for those mounts

[tidal osprey]

include weekly cactpot and fashion report?

[faint flare]

All MGP gain

Yes

[ripe hound]

Is there anyway to farm memories faster in Bozjan?

I just don't want to do fates anymore

[faint flare]

Farm mobs

Dont do fates

Fates are shit

Only for mettle

[ripe hound]

Just do crystal / cluster farms in Bozjan?

[halcyon glen]

Mettle and actual exp

[tidal osprey]

hows the relic quest? looks like its starting to get grindy

[faint flare]

Basically yes

[ripe hound]

kk

[halcyon glen]

Relic is fine so far

[faint flare]

Relic is still Easy

[ripe hound]

Is it almost as fast as HW fates?

[faint flare]

Either do 60 HW fates and 6 HW sync dungeons or AoE farm mobs in bojza

[halcyon glen]

60 FATEs 6 dungeons 1k poetics total so far for all steps

[faint flare]

If people are smart and you spread out, it can be quicker

You get all 4 memories at onxe

[ripe hound]

Cool

[faint flare]

If you have both quests active

[ripe hound]

I think is should try some Bozjan farming

[faint flare]

Have small groups in each area and farm shit

[ripe hound]

I really don't want to do HW fates anymore

Around 2-3 person?

[faint flare]

You can easily solo mass mobs with shit like Bloodsucker warrior

[ripe hound]

I only have DRK... But I should be able to figure something out

[fossil owl]

any tank really

WAR is best tho

[ripe hound]

Also you can split an 8 man group in half right?

Or more if you can

[fossil owl]

yes

[faint flare]

Warrior gets to abuse Lost slash and Nascent

[fossil owl]

2 groups is best

[ripe hound]

kk

Does the zone matter?

[faint flare]

Yes

[ripe hound]

Or just farm in the zone you need memories?

[halcyon glen]

You want to be spreading out amongst the zones

[faint flare]

Each zone drops a different memory for step 1

[ripe hound]

kk

[faint flare]

Yellow is zone one, blue zone 2 and red zone 3

[ripe hound]

Yeah I need zone 1 and 2 memories

[faint flare]

Bitters are across all

[ripe hound]

kk

Yeah I have quite an abundance of Bitters

[faint flare]

I've casually farmed 60 of each memory just solo spawning duels

[ripe hound]

hmmm I really should try it more

Just kill random mobs?

Or is there any order?

[faint flare]

Any mob

[ripe hound]

kk

Thanks Vinyl!

[faint flare]

People like Magitek for cluster addition

And spawning CEs

[ripe hound]

After rank 10, rank barely matter anymore right?

[faint flare]

Unless you want the strong skills from Castrum

And larger Holster

[ripe hound]

Oh you need more ranks for strong lost skills?

kk

[faint flare]

No. Thr strong skills are only drop in Castrum

[fossil owl]

15 is memes only, but yeah

[ripe hound]

Oh cool

[faint flare]

Like deep essense, the dice memes and Fonts

[ripe hound]

loo

Lol

[gusty storm]

if you're on pc and have a ninja what buttons do you use for your signs

need recommendations lol

[gleaming mist]

i use ctrl 1 2 3 for my gang signs

easy to reach

and you're using them pretty often

[fossil owl]

I use the middle row of my mmo mouse

left right center is suiton

[little swift]

i use alt 123 and alt ~ for the signs and cast respectively

[ripe hound]

Use Shift 123, and shift is bounded to mouse buttons

Yeah pretty much everyone have different settings lol

[gleaming mist]

point is that all of the buttons are easy to access and are in the same place

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[leaden ginkgo]

Is POTD worth checking out besides for leveling?

[slate arrow]

there's a few drops only available at floors 170+ from golden hoard drops

regularly sell in the millions

[fossil owl]

night pegasus is what

14 mil?

[leaden ginkgo]

so you have to get to the lowest floors for it to be worth your while? Is it fun at all? I'm trying to try out more of the side content

[fossil owl]

It's fun in its own way

[halcyon glen]

I mean it's worth it anyway to invalidate the 1-15 leveling process at minimum

[fossil owl]

Do you like dungeon crawling?

[lethal cape]

Finally found something to put in that slot @slate arrow 😂

[halcyon glen]

Oh, and floors 1-50 have a story attached to them

[fossil owl]

A good story in fact

[halcyon glen]

so if you want all that juicy L O R E, do Tam-Tara hard mode and then hit PotD 1-50

[twilit arch]

1-100, actually

[halcyon glen]

oop my bad lmao

[fossil owl]

50-100 are less fun tho

[leaden ginkgo]

i think i'll use it next time I level an alt lol

[magic wren]

So I tried this macro for shukuchi and it does not work. Any help?

[proud willow]

Capitalization matters

[magic wren]

Okay, what should I capitalize shukuchi?

[raw solstice]

would mostly recommend using the auto-translate as well for ability names for macros as well, instead of manually typing it

yeah

should be /ac Shukuchi <t>

[magic wren]

Thanks I’ll try it.

[raw solstice]

also need to capitalize it for the micon line

and you'll want to put the /merror off at the top of the macro

[magic wren]

Ah I see thanks will do

Nice it worked!!

Thanks

[still sinew]

Im at lv 60, and my exp seems to be locked, is there something that I need to do to unlock it ?

[robust notch]

Are you on the free trial?

[twilit arch]

are you on starter edition or free trial

[robust notch]

You need the full game and the Stormblood/Shadowbringers expansions to reach level 70 and 80

[still sinew]

Are you on the free trial?
@robust notch No

Starter edition

[faint flare]

You dont own Shadowbringers

[wispy parcel]

yea then you need to buy Shadowbringers

[faint flare]

So your xp locked

[still sinew]

Ohhh

I thought that it would lock at 70

Thanks guys!

[faint flare]

No

Cause starter edition has Up to heavensward

Which caps at 60

[still sinew]

I see, thanks!

[robust notch]

[still sinew]

Guess it’s time to buy shadowbringers

[blazing portal]

Anyone thoughts on the best way to find a farm party for O12S?

[simple pine]

what is the housing item used to create a floor area that's a little raised?

[gritty oracle]

@blazing portal Party finder.

wooden loft probably @simple pine

[blazing portal]

I've managed to get one clear through PF this weekend, interest seems very low. Was wondering if there's any online communities for it

[tardy iris]

hey i have a question, im new and playing on PC. is there a button for auto-run?

[fossil owl]

middle mouse button for me

press

autogo

[tardy iris]

[simple pine]

is this possible? glitch or otherwise?

https://i.imgur.com/T68tiev.png

and is there a discord for housing? 😅

[little swift]

yes this is possible

you move it up to the height you want using a stage panel

and then you move the stage panel in place

then turnn of grid snap

and take the stage panel away

[simple pine]

thank you, ill get some stage panels

[little swift]

if you're still confused use this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ8P4gEfBKM
same concept @simple pine

disable counterplacement was the thing you need to look out for

[karmic niche]

Any materia and lvl 80 gear guide?

[faint flare]

!faq gearguide

[zinc orbit]

Gearing up by level

Click on a link below to view the gear guides on consolegamewiki.

Level 50
Level 60
Level 70
Level 80

[faint flare]

Materia is based on job, which you go to the balance discord for thst

[karmic niche]

Oh ok, well i only saw 290 level materia so i need to combine them together to get higher level right?

[faint flare]

Lv80 stuff will give you tier 8s

And trading cracked Stellaclusters

[karmic niche]

Oh ok

Rip... need to spend a lot of money to get to 480

[robust notch]

Is there an up to date guide on obtaining the Heavensward Anima Weapons?

I can only find the wiki page

[faint flare]

!faq anima

[zinc orbit]

5.1 Guide to the Anima Relic

Anima Relic Guide

[robust notch]

Arigato

Is the table not set up properly?

I'm guessing the Tokens should go in the 2nd column?

[wind pine]

What is the best way to get Grand Company seals?

[simple pine]

thanks @little swift that worked! is there also a way to have a wooden beam vertical instead of horizontal?

[gentle quarry]

Expert Delivery Missions @wind pine

You give them unused dungeon loot for seals

[little swift]

yah the table is goofed @robust notch

[gentle quarry]

However you need to reach Sergeant Second Class rank first to unlock this

[wind pine]

What's the next best thing?

[gentle quarry]

so you have to do some Leves grind or the Crafting missions for starters

Don't forget to do Duty Roulette: Levelling

gives you a nice chunk of seals too, but the Supply & provisioning gives you the most by far

[wind pine]

Do you know where the highest level leve maelstrom guy is? I tried checking the wiki but it shows all the locations for the fire guys

[gentle quarry]

so try and unlock that rank ASAP, will save your life in the long run

[little swift]

pretty sure you can't reorientate a wooden beam that way @simple pine just because you can't rotate items in that fashion

[gentle quarry]

Highest level Leve is in Whitebrim Front in Coerthas Central

[simple pine]

is there al alternative option for a vertical wall?

[gentle quarry]

GC leves that is, it's a separate quest giver than thenormal leves

[cosmic token]

When training your chocobo, do you always have to use their favorite food, or once it becomes their fav you can do regular krakka?

[wind pine]

Thank you for your help

[gentle quarry]

Oh! If you're just starting don't forget the GC Hunting Log

gives you a nice chunk of seals too

[wind pine]

👍

[gentle quarry]

but yeah defo try and unlock the Supply & Provisioning Missions cause then it becomes a passive thing. Greed every loot and then just hand them all in for some ez seals.

[little swift]

have you looked into some pillars and such wilco

[cosmic token]

Also, another question - unrelated
is discarding the only thing I can do with this, if I already have it?

[remote lintel]

basically

[paper torrent]

does leveling up/killing things in POTD increase your actual exp payout at the end or is that fixed?

[oblique trellis]

Do I ever learn the Haka that this bird guy is doing in Cloud Top?

[outer plank]

how come i cant buy crafting materias from the materia vendor in eulmore?

[raven sage]

If you do the beast tribe you can learn it

And you need to have the right crystal for it isiah

[oblique trellis]

oooh

[gentle quarry]

Oh really you can learn the Haka?

[raven sage]

yeah you learn 2 dances if you complete it all

[gentle quarry]

ugh better grind so I can show my Kiwi friend lol

[oblique trellis]

I haven't unlocked these beast tribe quests yet, so I imagine that's what you mean

not old beast quest tribes 😄

[outer plank]

@raven sage right crystal for it? what does that mean? the crafting job crystal?

[oblique trellis]

beast tribe quests*

[outer plank]

oh the currency

but they look pretty much the same

[raven sage]

Yeah they have different names though

So you want the ones that say crystal not cluster

[gentle quarry]

Once you finish 3.0 MSQ you can go back to the Cloud Top and unlock the Vanu Vanu beast tribe quests

they're surprisingly adorable tribe lol

[outer plank]

ah

[gentle quarry]

but I must have this Haka

[proven lynx]

[outer plank]

its the name at the end that was tripping me up

[fast talon]

My friend describes the Vanu beast tribe quests as Stomp the Yard

[spare plinth]

wait when you complete a dungeon is it just me or theres a thing where you get something guarantee for your class

[faint flare]

You get a guaranteed piece for your job thats not a duplicate

For levelling dungeons

[spare plinth]

oh

[white tapir]

any one know how to resync a ps4 controller if it becomes unplugged on pc without having to restart the game?

[remote lintel]

launching the game through steam removes that issue

[white tapir]

hm i do that, do I point steam at the ff14 laucnher right?

[remote lintel]

yes

and make sure your ps4 setting is on in steam

[calm phoenix]

I need to rescue the summoners in An Egi-stential Crisis but there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING around! Yhmitra just sits near a cave while I wander around and I cannot target ANYTHING in the area!! Does anybody know what the problem could be?

[remote lintel]

are you actually going farther in the area?

[calm phoenix]

I found an "OF Ceneter Summoner" but he heals himself faster than I can DSP and there are five dragons helping him!!!

[remote lintel]

kill the adds first and stand in the pillar things

[calm phoenix]

There is no "pillar"

I looked all around, no pillar

[jade saddle]

time for my awful, embarrassing question of the week: I'm max 80..I can't figure out why Bountiful Yield II is always disabled, is it class quest locked? 😦

[remote lintel]

when these appear

[jade quartz]

Kill the dragons

[calm phoenix]

There is nothing like that anywhere

[jade quartz]

stand in the pillar markers which have now been showed to you ingame many times

[twilit arch]

yes it is @jade saddle

[remote lintel]

it appears when youre fighting him

[twilit arch]

need to the lv 68 class quest

[jade quartz]

Use your brain, Moltres.

Nothing like that at all\

[jade saddle]

thanks Samhain!

[remote lintel]

they show up for like 2 seconds

[calm phoenix]

LIAR!!! I stood there and got killed by an attack

[jade quartz]

Stand in them when they appear.

You are not being lied to, and further claims like that aren't going to be tolerated.

[faint flare]

If dont stand in them then they explode

And you die

[remote lintel]

if you got killed it was either because you took multiple hits at once or your gear sucks or both

[calm phoenix]

I went to this "pillar" and stood there, an attack went right there, a big one and killefd me

[vestal needle]

is neo ishgardian worth purchasing or will i get a better equip quickly?

[remote lintel]

then make sure your gear doesnt suck or put it on very easy

[twilit arch]

neo-ish is pretty good entry gear if you don't want to bother grinding for i480 set

[vestal needle]

just reached lv 80 and at lv 79 in the story

[slate arrow]

@vestal needle unless you do current raids, not really

[jade quartz]

Nothing to do with the pillar itself. The pillar will do a small amount of damage.

It must be soaked to avoid it doing more damage/debuffs

[twilit arch]

since i490 is weekly locked behind allegory or puppet's bunker

[slate arrow]

as in getting better equipments

[twilit arch]

though you can also get a decent set of i495 gear from bozja but that's going to take a bit of grinding to get to the point of being able to get it

[calm phoenix]

I went to this "pillar", A huge big light attack came down and killed me

[remote lintel]

then

you got

hit multiple times

[jade quartz]

You have been given all the information required.

[remote lintel]

the pillar itself doesnt kill you

[jade quartz]

Now go try again.

[vestal needle]

so it probably is worth getting neo ishgardian because any other better gear requires a bit of grinding?

[slate arrow]

tldr
Eden 5-8 or Neo Ishgard- 480
Allegory and/or Puppets Bunker (weekly locked) -490
Bozja gear 495
Eden grace/Augmented Allegory 500/505 weapon

[vestal needle]

oh got it

[remote lintel]

@vestal needle you can farm the last 4 eden raids for free 480 gear

[vestal needle]

thanks @slate arrow

[remote lintel]

so its up to you

[faint flare]

Though you'll need 455 ilvl for that

[remote lintel]

yeah but thats not hard to get

[vestal needle]

nah i rather spend more time merchanting till my friends catch up

[jade quartz]

Neo Ishgardian gear is generally pretty cheap so at least some pieces are probably a worthwhile buy just for convenience's sake

if you have gil lying around

[vestal needle]

dude... its like 50k a piece

nvm

i rather buy it

[crimson wind]

Have ShB dungeons ever been unsyncable

[twilit arch]

no

[robust crow]

run your weekly puppet's bunker for a piece of 490 too

[twilit arch]

current expansion dungeons are not unsyncable

[robust crow]

if you buy it you still need phantamagoria to upgrade the crafted 480 to 490

[crimson wind]

k cool

[white tapir]

@remote lintel I didnt have the enable ps4 support option selected in steam big pic mode, so I enabled that and its trying to get me to calibrate the controller again but I cant input anything

[tardy iris]

at what level can i start playing with other people?

is there voice chat in this game?

[robust crow]

no voice chat

and you get your first muitiplayer dungeon at level 20

[tardy iris]

damn

[robust crow]

but there's not really any kind of group questing at all

[ripe hound]

What do I do with Bozjan Runner's Secret?

[twilit arch]

first dungeon is 15

[dreamy warren]

It's level 15 I thought

[remote lintel]

@white tapir what do you mean its trying to get you to calibrate

[ripe hound]

Only use is upgrade the Bozjan gear right?

[remote lintel]

it doesnt automatically ask that

[robust crow]

you don't unlock it until 20 though

[twilit arch]

yes, that's only for bozja

its unlocked at 15

in the msq

[ripe hound]

If I don't need it I can just throw it on MB?

[faint flare]

No you unlock it at MSQ lv15

[robust crow]

wait seriously?

[faint flare]

Yes

[twilit arch]

[verbal rune]

Yes

[faint flare]

Satasha

[twilit arch]

yes why would it be at 20??

[verbal rune]

But you're probably at lvl 20 by the time you reach it

[twilit arch]

if you wanna be technical, the first instance you can unlock is lvl 10

[tardy iris]

damn, i was hoping there would be an in-game general guild voice chat

[twilit arch]

which is guildhests

[verbal rune]

Counting how much exp the MSQ gives

[gentle quarry]

Sastasha was 15 IIRC, and you also have the Guildhests which starts a bit earlier

[tardy iris]

so ESO is a better game to play for voice communications than Lol

[warped seal]

!mute 305836665270960129 72h

[zinc orbit]

Success!

@calm phoenix has been muted by @warped seal for 3 days!

[robust crow]

eso is a worse game in general

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[white tapir]

@remote lintel i mean controller isn't working*, but it is letting me attempt to calibrate the controller but I input anything still

[tardy iris]

[tardy iris]

fuck... im bored, i just bought this game and spent 2 hours downloading it

now that i have it, im not sure if its fun anymore lol

[verbal rune]

I mean

[remote lintel]

did you enable it here?

[white tapir]

yea

[remote lintel]

do you have any 3rd party controller programs running?

[robust crow]

you should play ff14 the same way you would play any other final fantasy game

it's 80% singleplayer for the story

[tardy iris]

damn

[robust crow]

and 20% group up with other people to do a boss or dungeon

[white tapir]

nope, I did enable steam in launcher but I can't shit tab to bring up steam in ff14

[tardy iris]

oh, i see

[robust crow]

slow down and enjoy the story because it's exceptional

[white tapir]

maybe somehow its not working right

[remote lintel]

did you try turning off your ps4 controller and connecting it again

[tardy iris]

me? im playing with mouse and keyboard

[remote lintel]

im talking to bzb

[tardy iris]

ohhh

[white tapir]

yea

I saw it say like .. ps4 controller conntected in steam at the bottom right but cant move anything

[remote lintel]

[verbal rune]

maybe somehow its not working right
@white tapir if you're in game, gamepad mode, you can press esc, system and check calibration/if it register the controller

[remote lintel]

is the blue light thing on at the top of your controller

[white tapir]

@verbal rune yea thats what I was trying to do

I could click calibate but wouldnt let me input anything

yea it was

[remote lintel]

wait did you enable ps4 support in steam while the game was running?

[stable herald]

Regarding SCH, I know it's very much a pre-damage shielding, but do people micro manage their faires?

Faries*

[white tapir]

ah perhaps but I closed the game

[remote lintel]

try closing the game and turning off your controller then connecting again

not really @stable herald

[dreamy warren]

I have 2 questions I hope you smarties can help with: 1. Why has WHM become so popular recently? 2. IS there a BLM version of the Emperors New Fists?

[remote lintel]

managing is just using "place" and recall

[twilit arch]

2. no

1. whm has always been popular because its an easy to play healer

[white tapir]

well I also can't shift tab whilke in ff14 and see steam overlay

sothining that is the issue

[dreamy warren]

Oh. I read somewhere (I think here) that WHM was becoming popular again

[stable herald]

@remote lintel how do i choose which faire to use?

[dreamy warren]

So I thought there was a change or some reason

[remote lintel]

by looks aoi

[twilit arch]

you use whatever fairie you want

because they are both the same

[remote lintel]

@white tapir which file did you add to steam exactly

[white tapir]

big pic settings sec ill look

[stable herald]

Oh. Hahaha. Alright. I thought they had diff focuses or smthng

[twilit arch]

they did before shb

[faint flare]

Not anymore

[rotund sable]

WHM saw a moderate uptick in popularity at the start of shadowbringers due to it still being easy but not being nearly as flawed as its stormblood counterpart but its somewhat overstated

[white tapir]

FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\boot\ffxivboot.exe"

[twilit arch]

but they made them the same thing after because there was largely no reason to use selene outside of opener

[stable herald]

Oh. SCH has openers eh? Alright.

[faint flare]

All jobs do

[twilit arch]

i mean...technically almost every job has an opener

[stable herald]

I gotta take a long look at SCH

[twilit arch]

whm kind of being a bit debatable on that tbh

[robust crow]

have you ever seen those big ass shields scholars put on the party prior to a boss pull?

[stable herald]

I mean WHM has like dots and keep skills on CD

[remote lintel]

@white tapir does your controller at least work in steam big pic mode?

[stable herald]

AST too, no?

[robust crow]

ast has like a 20 second opener

[remote lintel]

all healers have dots

[rotund sable]

whm actually has a two gcd opener with two weaves and thats it really

preglare, dia, pom+assize

[twilit arch]

whm doesn't have as much stuff to do at the start other than throw up dots, spam glare. AST/SCH have a bit more to do

with their buffs

[white tapir]

@remote lintel yep

[remote lintel]

hm

[stable herald]

TIL. I must be opening AST wrong

[robust crow]

whm sometimes can do some more than just that

[white tapir]

trying a full restart on steam see if it helps and i enbaled that generic controller support too

[robust crow]

on e7s whm wings lasts long enough for the first raidwide

if you do it at about -5s

[twilit arch]

https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/vuy5a9h8sQLqtGgwRnsFZZ078u19Ng8pPZVH_XPaFao/https/saltedxiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Astro_Full_opener_1_03.png?width=930&height=562

[robust crow]

and it isn't like you're gonna need those wings again for a while anyway

[twilit arch]

ast opener for reference

[robust crow]

depending on the fight, you can precast asylum or wings before the pull and get a decent amount of their effects without wasting a use

[little swift]

ast also has a prepull

thats about 30 seconds long

[stable herald]

Do people use AST's """placable""" shield/heal?

[little swift]

helps you set up for the first raidwide

yes people use everything

[stable herald]

The one you have to remain stationary

[twilit arch]

yes

[little swift]

you can tap it

[rotund sable]

while whm can precast some stuff its usually not the best option

[twilit arch]

generally won't stand and hold it though

[little swift]

and it'll linger the effects

[twilit arch]

you'll use it for a second to get the buff up

and then go back to dpsing

[stable herald]

But the heal doesn't help much, yes?

[twilit arch]

it does

[rotund sable]

its a free heal

it always helps

[twilit arch]

its free heal

[remote lintel]

all heals help

[stable herald]

Isnt it a regen heal?

[remote lintel]

except like cure 1

[robust crow]

regen heals still help

[remote lintel]

regens are strong heals

[hasty musk]

that's still a heal

[jade quartz]

Powered by XIVAPI

[rotund sable]

you would always use an oGCD heal if it saves you a gcd

and CU is actually plenty strong

[stable herald]

But the regen/shield effect ends on moving?

[twilit arch]

no

[hasty musk]

only one ends

[twilit arch]

it stays

[jade quartz]

Gives 10% mitigation (stays up for about five seconds even if you just tap it and then immediately drop it) and applies a 100pot regen for 15 seconds which stays regardless

[remote lintel]

the wheel of fortune thing lingers

[twilit arch]

the weel of fortune effect lasts for 15s

whether you hold CU or not

[remote lintel]

thats why people flash it

for the effect

[stable herald]

OH

[white tapir]

@remote lintel maybe its b/c of my Gshade, think i have to do something special with gshade to enable a steam launch

[stable herald]

I thought it meant if you pop it and drop, the effect drops

[remote lintel]

oh i dont use gshade

[stable herald]

Ok. Now things make a bit more sense

[jade quartz]

in Diurnal, the mitigation stays up for about 5 seconds and the regen for 15 seconds.

[remote lintel]

@white tapir if you can't figure it out people in #technology-discussion might know

[jade quartz]

In Nocturnal, it's the other way around (making it generally worse)

[white tapir]

my guess is until i can shift +tab and bring up steam overlay i dont think I can use steam ps4 support

[jade quartz]

Regen stays for only like 2-3 ticks but you get 15s of mitigation

[remote lintel]

steam overlay shouldnt affect controller support

[jade quartz]

If you pop it and drop it, the non-wheel-of-fortune effect still lingers for nearly 5 seconds

[stable herald]

Ah. So noct is pre-raid wide and diurnal, use it just as raid wide is dropping?

[jade quartz]

no they're both basically the same

[stable herald]

Ah

[remote lintel]

they just have a different effect

[stable herald]

Use pre-raid wide for both?

[twilit arch]

ideally, yes

[jade quartz]

yeah

[twilit arch]

that way you're getting the benefit of mitigation when the raid wide goes off

[stable herald]

I see. Ok. Time to slowly work on this and try to get it right

[verbal rune]

Btw

What do you get if you reach 100 in mask rose at gold saucer?

[jade quartz]

Fashion Leader title

[twilit arch]

a title and achievement

[stable herald]

But how do ASTs full heal people? E.g. in raidwides that bring everyone down to single digits?

[remote lintel]

horoscope

[stable herald]

Light speed and AoE heal spam?

[remote lintel]

neutral sect

[twilit arch]

earthly star

[remote lintel]

lightspeed

[verbal rune]

So nothing worth the effort

[twilit arch]

ES, fully prepped is a huge chunk of healing

[stable herald]

I see. I was wondering if there was anythkng se k can do

[jade quartz]

a celestial opp for luck

[remote lintel]

also you're not the only healer you know

your co healer should be healing too

[stable herald]

Sometimes it feels like it is

[remote lintel]

get a better co healer

[stable herald]

DF ivalice raid

Not fun as a learning AST

[remote lintel]

i wouldnt start learning healer at lvl 70

[stable herald]

Well, I levelled AST from scratch to 50 in HW

Then i only recently decided to max level em

But since insta queues, I've only done 4 mans

[remote lintel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThMOUFcSagY

this guy gave me good tips

even though its lvl 80 you can still use most of it

[stable herald]

Thanks

What Vinyl said but if your dungeon queue times are long which they probably will be as DPS you'll want to do Palace of the Dead. Ideally spamming floors 51-60 over and over but you'll probably have to unlock that checkpoint first

[dreamy warren]

Is PotD checkpoints per class? Like if I have 51-60 unlocked on DRG, is it unlocked on all my classes?

[twilit arch]

its unlocked for all

[dreamy warren]

Oh thank god. I've been running lvl 50 dungeons and its a slog. I'll convert to PotD

[wintry chasm]

Oh God that's bad

[jade quartz]

@dreamy warren Level 50 dungeons are not effective for exp, they're former endgame dungeons designed to give tomestones in stead

[wintry chasm]

^

[jade quartz]

At level 50 you should be running Aurum Vale until 51

[wintry chasm]

They aren't designed for leveling

[jade quartz]

If you've been doing level 50 dungeons then yeah, no wonder you're finding it a slog

[dreamy warren]

Well thats good to know at level 54. lmao

[jade quartz]

Oh yikes

you should be running Sohm Al

[wintry chasm]

if you have it

[jade quartz]

If you don't have it

[wintry chasm]

Which you probably don't tbh

[jade quartz]

then you like

[cinder maple]

for the older relic weapons, do I have to do them from the start for each different class?

[jade quartz]

shouldn't be leveling tbh

Yes @cinder maple

[dreamy warren]

Is Sohm Al level 50?

[jade quartz]

Sohm Al is level 53

[wintry chasm]

It's a main story dungeon

[dreamy warren]

my ilvl is too low

Thats why I'm not in HW dungeons

[wintry chasm]

What

[jade quartz]

Er

[dreamy warren]

I'm leveling a second class.

[wintry chasm]

How the hell?

Oh

[jade quartz]

Buy Ironworks yesterday

[wintry chasm]

Buy ironworks

Yesh

[dreamy warren]

I dont have a ton of money to throw around like everyone else seems to. lol

[wintry chasm]

You shoulda done that as soon as you hit 50 tbh. It's so easy to do

[jade quartz]

if you've been running level 50 dungeons then you're probably capped on poetics

they're not for gil

[wintry chasm]

It's not gil

It's just poetics

Which if you've been doing your roulettes you should have a billion of

[jade quartz]

Currency tab > battle

Allagan Tomestones of Poetics

[fast hull]

can job armors be enough for higher dungeons or still locked?

[wintry chasm]

Eh?

[jade quartz]

What do you mean exactly

[dreamy warren]

Oh right. Mor Dhona. Forgot about them selling stuff. lmao

[wintry chasm]

The level 50 one wouldn't be enough for Sohm Al if that's what you mean

[dreamy warren]

I swear I have played this game once. lmao

[fast hull]

I mean as long he can spam the level 51 dungeon he can farm dungeon armor from that if he hasnt have poetics

[jade quartz]

Go to Auriana in Mor Dhona, or Rowena's Representative right next to the aetheryte of any main city

and buy ironworks weapon and gear

[wintry chasm]

I mean he should have been doing that dungeon but ironworks is just wayyyy faster anyway @fast hull

[jade quartz]

Spamming 51 dungeon won't be necessary, Cobe will have a lot of poetics.

[halcyon glen]

Pre-30 Thaumaturge - is it worth using Scathe to weave Transpose or should I just clip it?

[dreamy warren]

I spent all my Poetics trying to level my Anima Weapon. I have a lot going on. lol

[fast hull]

? they say I should not use scathe

I mean unless I am triggering bombs

[jade quartz]

...you have no poetics?

Scathe isn't worth for weaving

[dreamy warren]

I have 121 poetics.

[jade quartz]

[wintry chasm]

I spent all my Poetics trying to level my Anima Weapon. I have a lot going on. lol
first off

Just want to be sure

You realise that anima weapon is worthless right?

outside of glamour and title

[dreamy warren]

Yes, but I want to collect them all.

[wintry chasm]

Okay cool

[dreamy warren]

And since I beat MSQ, I'm just sort of picking up stuff I didnt get.

[wintry chasm]

Just making sure you aren't making another mistake

[dreamy warren]

another?! lmao

[wintry chasm]

hey you were the one who was spamming 50 dungeons for leveling

[dreamy warren]

😭

[jade quartz]

Run MSQ roulette and 50/60/70 dungeon roulette and you'll get enough poetics to get like a weapon and chest/legs

[wintry chasm]

Run MSQ roulette and 50/60/70 dungeon roulette and you'll get enough poetics to get like a weapon and chest/legs
^

also combine that with your ilvl 90 job gear

That'll be enough to get to the ilvl to do dusk vigil

and then you can grind gear from there and work your way up your dungeons

[dreamy warren]

So how do you gain levels in PotD if you're at level 60?

[jade quartz]

PotD is no longer good exp from 61 on

Heaven-on-High is the level 61-70 equivalent content

[wintry chasm]

or....

[dreamy warren]

I'm not explaining myself well. In PotD I'm at level 60, in the regular game I'm level 54. I dont seem to be gaining levels/exp

[wintry chasm]

Leveling in PotD is separate from leveling outside

[scenic cape]

What is the best place to farm fates pre heavenward?
I'm level 57 and want to rank up my chocobo

[jade quartz]

PotD has a separate leveling system inside it which is capped at 60

[twilit arch]

you gain exp for outside when you complete a set of 10 floors

[wintry chasm]

^

[jade quartz]

if you enter at floor 51 you start at level 60

unrelated to the real exp you gain when you complete a set of floors.

[dreamy warren]

you gain exp for outside when you complete a set of 10 floors
Thats the info I was missing, ty

[wintry chasm]

You have internal leveling progression in PotD and as you go through sets of floors you get real xp for your job

[twilit arch]

so since the ideal floors to do is 51-60, once you kill floor 60 boss and exit you'll receive exp for your job outside

[limpid sorrel]

Hey guys,
so I'm level 71 and started the first mission of Stormblood. Was wondering if there is a new armor and where to get it since I saved up a few poetics for it since in the past every 10 levels from 50 I'd talk to a person to get it in Ul'dah and such.

[faint flare]

Shire in Idyllshire/ishgard

It will last you until lv65 story

You cant get the lv70 poetic gear until you finish stormblood base story

[limpid sorrel]

Ah ok, thanks! Yeah I have shire already

[scenic cape]

Sorry for the repeat question, but what is the best place for fates pre heavenward I can solo to rank up my chocobo?
I know it will still be a grind, but I have been handling most fates besides boss fates pretty well solo, and I am not really progressing the story until my friends can get together to go with me through crystal tower

[mossy current]

Pre HW? northern Thanalan, Beast tribe locations and mor Dhona are some good places

[scenic cape]

OK, thanks!

Did Square Enix give some free sub days ?

[ocean tartan]

Yes 4 days

[proper shore]

4 ?

i go from 23 to 37 p_p

well i'm not gonna complain xc

maybe u wanted to say 14 ?

[wintry chasm]

Finished Shadowbringers. Do you guys recomend do old raids ?
@ocean tartan I'd have recommended doing the old raids in the old expansions before moving onto the newer ones

Same for the trial series

Half because the HW 8-man raid and the SB 8-man raid indirectly tie into Shadowbringers but also because the SB 24-man raid is necessary for the ShB relic stuff

Which is good for gear progression at endgame

also they are just good content and you'd unlock roulettes which would be nice for tomestone grinding at endgame and also leveling

They're fun too~

[wintry chasm]

that isn't even to mention glamour or titles and anything like that

[ocean tartan]

What are titles ?

[wintry chasm]

uhhh

they are those unlockable things you can put on your character

For example

[jade quartz]

They go above/below your nameplate

[wintry chasm]

Me

<Sister of Ash>

[remote lintel]

you can see your unlocked titles in the character menu

[ocean tartan]

Oh

[remote lintel]

under profile

[wintry chasm]

There are lots

[remote lintel]

but yea at least do the SB 24 mans

so you can unlock the SHB relic

[wintry chasm]

but yea at least do the SB 24 mans
😦
Do. them. all.

[magic wren]

Is the game going down at 11 est?

[wintry chasm]

🤔

[magic wren]

[magic wren]

Ah okay

Recently I realized how important is the Bahamut one.

[wintry chasm]

You can use !maint in #kupo-bot-spam to find out when maint is / when it ends if you forget

Recently I realized how important is the Bahamut one.
It's not important like the other raids though. Bahamut clears up all the mysteries of the plot before ARR but the other raids pretty much explain and just about set up future plots

The Nier automata Raid spoil the game? Recently started playing that game.

[wintry chasm]

Ummmm

[brave ravine]

nier universe has nothing to do w/ Ff14 so consider it a fun raid

[wintry chasm]

That's not what they asked?

tbh I never actually did the post raid stuff for the second part of the Nier raid

I don't think I'd say it spoils Automata plot yet

but there is going to be a third part and it's probably going to be the most plot heavy

[remote lintel]

no it doesnt spoil it

[wintry chasm]

so I can't say it will continue to not spoil Automata plot

[remote lintel]

not like major plot spoilers

like 2P isnt even in automata

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

I'd say there are references

but nothing you'd
A) get
B) would matter

[oblique trellis]

So, first Primal of ARR, and going to be doing it as a tank.. without spoiling anything, should I use a guide or go in blind and learn first hand?

[remote lintel]

blind

the first few primal fights are easy af

[wintry chasm]

Yeah MSQ trials? No reason to guide them

[ocean tartan]

Always do the first time blind

[wintry chasm]

The only thing you'd want to guide up on is savage raids and extreme trials

[oblique trellis]

okie dokie

[wintry chasm]

That's it

[remote lintel]

the only thing you have to remember is to kill the nail

[wintry chasm]

And that's really only assuming you are doing them synced

[oblique trellis]

just don't want ppl to hate me for sucking at tank 😄

[remote lintel]

oh tank

then just keep the boss turned around

[oblique trellis]

I can do that

[ocean tartan]

Don't forget tank stance

[oblique trellis]

is the first one only a 4 man?

[remote lintel]

yes

[oblique trellis]

oh ok, ez pz

[remote lintel]

the normal ones are 4 man iirc

[wintry chasm]

Er

That's a bit misleading tbh

Basically it's just the first three that are 4-man

after that it gets changed to 8-man

[remote lintel]

yeah i meant the normal primals

[ocean tartan]

At which point materia is useful?

[oblique trellis]

I'm yet to tank in an 8 man, I assume I should off tank for my first time or so

80

[wintry chasm]

Endgame Moreno

Though I would meld materia in gear for crafting and gathering providing you already have some

It helps a bit for that but not necessary ultimately

yeah i meant the normal primals
Those 3 aren't the only normal primals

Hence misleading

[remote lintel]

there are no other normal primals after those?

[wintry chasm]

Well....I suppose technically they'll be (hard) but they don't have them in the name since (hard) was kinda dropped after the 3.0 trials

So people would just think "normal"

I'm being a bit mean

[ocean tartan]

What are the rewards for extreme Trials ?

[jade quartz]

"Hard" would be better described as normal. The three 4-man "normal" trials are more like below-normal tutorial.

[wintry chasm]

What are the rewards for extreme Trials ?
depends on the trial

They'd almost all give mounts

and they'd give you some form of gear

usually weapons

[jade quartz]

Usually weapon drops, uncommon chance for crafting material to make furniture/barding/glowy versions of weapons, uncommon chance for mount

[wintry chasm]

also crafting materials

[jade quartz]

oh and orchestrion rolls

[wintry chasm]

mmm

[jade quartz]

Some outliers

For example the first EX primals of both SB and ShB drop accessories rather than weapons

[remote lintel]

if you get the mounts from all EX trials in an expac you get a bigger mount

[jade quartz]

Ultima's Bane (Minstrel's Ballads are EXs by another name) has only accessories and no mount

Memoria Misera EX from ShB drops higher-ilvl dyeable versions of level 80 AF gear

[silk summit]

Can you keep getting bitter memories past 6 if you don't turn in the quest?

[jade quartz]

yeah

[oblique trellis]

Mog doesn't drop a mount either pout

[ocean tartan]

I read somewhere that is recommended to the extreme Trials via Party Finder

[remote lintel]

yes

since no one queues for them

[wintry chasm]

because it's hard

(also outdated)

[silk summit]

Mostly because it's hard

[remote lintel]

for ARR EXs you dont need party finder if youre 70+

just solo it

[wintry chasm]

People usually use party finder and do them unsynced (which means doing them at a higher level and gear) and just killing the boss in a minute

@wintry chasm and gives the same rewards?

[lavish ginkgo]

I'm at the end of the free trial basically, is the full game + expansions worth it for someone who doesnt care all that much for the story but loves the gameplay/glams? I know story is a huge focus I just wanna know if there is enough content to sustain someone like me

[remote lintel]

well

there isnt like a HUGE endgame

[ocean tartan]

@lavish ginkgo for glams and stuff you need to keep progressing the story.

[little swift]

yes the rewards are the same moreno

[lavish ginkgo]

Oh to clarify I'm perfectly fine doing near endless msq, music and gameplay carry it for me

[remote lintel]

each expac has 3 24-man raids and 12 8-man raids after you beat it

also side dungeons and trials

[lavish ginkgo]

That's the stuff I'm looking for, coming from wow that's what I do I guess

What I've seen in ARR they're great

[remote lintel]

but there isnt a lot of reason to do them more than once except in some instances

[wispy parcel]

The story is easily what the devs put the most effort in

[remote lintel]

imo you might just get burnt out

[wispy parcel]

its a good 80% of the game

when it comes to endgame content what we get is great but its few and far between

[ocean tartan]

For people that are playing from years and beat all the content. How do you guys keep playing day to day without new quest?

[wispy parcel]

6-8 month gaps between raid tiers

[lavish ginkgo]

I'd like to get into the story, it just felt extremely bland for so long I ended up skipping, if it gets better in stormblood I'd be down to pay attention

[agile shoal]

Can anyone tell me where it says on an item you want to craft what your craftmanship level needs to be?

[remote lintel]

uh

the story gets better at the end of ARR

[lavish ginkgo]

Half a year is a while

[remote lintel]

way earlier than SB

[ocean tartan]

If you didn't like HW story. Oh boy..

[wispy parcel]

@lavish ginkgo Heavensward is considered one of the best parts of the plot

[remote lintel]

also a lot people consider SB's story worse than HW's

with HW being second best

[lavish ginkgo]

I havent finished HW, not even close

I'm just kinda lost

[remote lintel]

did you skip the huge cutscene at the end of ARR?

[lavish ginkgo]

Which one

[wispy parcel]

big issue with cutscene skipping in this game

[remote lintel]

the very end right before HW

[lavish ginkgo]

No I did not

[wispy parcel]

the patch quests set up the next expansion

[remote lintel]

what are you lost about then

[wispy parcel]

if you skip those you will have no content

at all

[lavish ginkgo]

I feel like I missed major stuff skipping basically all of ARR, like context for the world and all that

[remote lintel]

yes ARR builds the foundation of the plot

its a slow burn story

but very good

[ocean tartan]

You can watch youtube videos about the story.

So you understand everything

[remote lintel]

if you want to get into it you can watch youtube videos yeah

[wintry chasm]

I feel like I missed major stuff skipping basically all of ARR, like context for the world and all that
It does set up literally every single expansion in some form so yeah

[lavish ginkgo]

Any good summary videos or just the whole thing?

[wispy parcel]

Ive yet to find one that fully and accurately goes into the plot for XIV, they always skip something major

[lavish ginkgo]

Well

[remote lintel]

have you been skipping after ARR?

or only in ARR

[lavish ginkgo]

Only arr

[remote lintel]

oh then thats not too bad

[lavish ginkgo]

I'm extremely early into HW

Like

Not even 10 quests in, I havent been keeping count tho
