questions-and-help

[ripe hound]

kk, Thanks Samhain!

[twilit arch]

she's a mentor, same as me but she's an end-game one

[spare plinth]

Is dnc considered an easy job because all you have to do is do standard step and get procs?

[ripe hound]

kk

[twilit arch]

so she knows a lot more about savage and such

[ripe hound]

Nice!

Those two are like really really old call outs that no one really use anymore right

[twilit arch]

yeah, dnc is considered pretty easy since its basically use procs when they're up, use standard/technical step when available

[ripe hound]

Also I think DNC have a lot less buttons than other classes?

[twilit arch]

the rotation is pretty straight forward and easy to understand

[spare plinth]

Cause I might considered switching from blm to dnc

[ripe hound]

No one really call stuff "Dynamo" or "Chariot" now right?

[little swift]

dynamo in and chariot out are still used

[ripe hound]

Really?

[little swift]

lunar dynamo is in ruby weapon

[ripe hound]

I'm surprised

[little swift]

i mean i just say "donut" and "away"

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[little swift]

earthshaker is another call out

and proteans

[ripe hound]

I just say "In In In In In" and "Out Out Out Out Out"

[twilit arch]

it also probably depends on how old the player is

like vets from arr/hw days probably still use dynamo/chariot

since thats just what they're use to

[ripe hound]

Yeah seems really hardcore

[little swift]

not really

its just force of habit at that point

[ripe hound]

But the mechanic (50/50 chance of going in or out) is pretty much extremely common across all patches right?

Like I think there are at least 4 different pairs of those AOEs in Nier Raids?

[twilit arch]

yeah, in/out mechanics are pretty staple

[ripe hound]

Yeah

Wolex's opening thing should also be this right?

[little swift]

not like its a particularly strange mechanic

white hole punishes differently

[ripe hound]

Wait... kinda different

[mossy current]

^ doom is living dead

[ripe hound]

Oh it's more often called doom?

kk

[twilit arch]

hmm

[quick pecan]

is the regalia mount in the shop for the make it rain campaign

[twilit arch]

well doom isn't always the same

[mossy current]

There are 3 types of doom

[twilit arch]

no, because its part of the 15 event not make it rain @quick pecan

[little swift]

heal to full doom
stand on pad doom
esuna doom

[ripe hound]

I see

[quick pecan]

tyty

[ripe hound]

But yeah I think 15 event have a chance of coming back

[twilit arch]

its gonna be rerun

its just a matter of when

[ripe hound]

They only put stuff you can never get in game again on mog station

[mossy current]

They've definitely expressed interest and recognize the people who want it

[ripe hound]

I was reading this MECHANIC TERMINOLOGY part and I was like "I have never heard of any words here"
https://www.akhmorning.com/resources/raiding-fundamentals/#mechanic-terminology-

Like I think I seem most of the mechanics in this list, but I never heard those callouts before lol

[mossy current]

Comes with experience

And interacting with the playerbase

[little swift]

not everybody refers to them the same anyway

but that would be, "here's teh earliest instance of it so the name sticks"

[ripe hound]

Yeah

I think maybe it's because I was never experienced with the early raid people in every patch

I mean I'm casually raiding with other people now

But since it's end of patch raiding, people are generally more new to raiding in general

So we use different callouts than the vets

[little swift]

i mean its not liek you'll be in voice with every pug you join

just use what makes sense for your group

[ripe hound]

Like I think we often call "Targeted cones on party members" as "cleave"?

Ya

[little swift]

and don't clog up the comms iwth too much randomness

[ripe hound]

Ya, I notice I talk too much

To be honest I kind of wish people talk more in comm

[mossy current]

If you plan to do callouts everyone has to be quieter

Or else some can't hear it all

Or focus

A clear, easy to understand voice

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I think I'm just more used to callouts in Action games?

https://youtu.be/OpHQ4jR_YMU

I mean like, callouts in games with more random elements?

[little swift]

esports are a lot more reactive

and require everyone to communicate various bits of info

[ripe hound]

You can jump in the middle and hear how people just shout stuff repeatedly lol

Yeah

[little swift]

raids are very measured

so having one person be teh voice for everyone except when its necessary is fine

[ripe hound]

And FFxiv is pretty much the "no randomness" game

[little swift]

there is still randomness

[mossy current]

Depends

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I mean there are still randomness

[little swift]

just not in the intensity and way that esports do it

[mossy current]

SoS mixes up phase 2

[ripe hound]

It's just feels a lot less than most action games, like Dark Souls, Sekiro, Monster Hunter, etc.

Also sometimes I feel like my team don't talk enough when things go south

Like I feel like it's important to call out stuff when you are doing unplanned stuff

Like raising and stuff

Or using Invuln on unplaned situations

[little swift]

for sure

those things are fine

[ripe hound]

But a lot of groups don't call out mechanics right?

If everybody should know what they are doing at that point?

[indigo skiff]

man that praetorium quest on that authorization bs - goodness.

[little swift]

its half and half akira

as you prog

call outs should be less and less wordy

more like simple reminders that a mechanic is upcoming

or something might be needed here or there

[indigo skiff]

lesson learned I guess.

[little swift]

at least how i've gone about it is

during prog i say that a mech is upcoming as well as how to resolve or prep to resolve

and then i take that away

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I just feel like years of Competitive game made me "I cannot do stuff correctly without calling out what I'm doing"

[little swift]

no i feel you on that

i played league for almost 11 years

so i have the same mentality

[ripe hound]

So like if I don't call out "run away run away run away" I forget to do it myself

[little swift]

but clear comms are more important

helps focus

[ripe hound]

You know, in competitive games you often call out every thing you see and everything you do

Where in Raiding, it's more like, Tank poped a planed LD, no one talks about it

My WHM purposefully delays the Benediction also

That is a thing right? After DRK LD, WHM wait a while before Bene

[twilit arch]

yeah

generally to make the most out of living dead

[ripe hound]

I see

[twilit arch]

you want to wait for the second half of it to activate

[ripe hound]

Since LD is Invul as long as you have no health!

[little swift]

it depends on what mechanics you're dealing with

[twilit arch]

so basically it gives you almost 20s of invul

[little swift]

sometimes you'd rather just take the buff off right away

[ripe hound]

Yeah it was e8s first double slap

[little swift]

after double there's nothing thats supposed to hit you until LR

so you can just pop it right away

[ripe hound]

Is double before or after the cleave?

[little swift]

your drk has phys vuln anyways

[ripe hound]

The Diving / Biting Frost

[little swift]

double is after biting/driving

[ripe hound]

Yeah then it's kinda weird

[little swift]

and then before the gaze

[ripe hound]

I think maybe the WHM is just delaying before he wants to line up Bene with Dia?

[little swift]

thats fine as well

[ripe hound]

I'm not sure, I've only been with the group for 1 night

[little swift]

since you should just tank swap there

[ripe hound]

But I just always panic when I see the DRK is on LD mode

And the WHM is still spamming Glare

[little swift]

you can heal it yourself as an AST just fine

[ripe hound]

Yeah, it's just that the experience is I heal it with 2 ED charges, then the WHM Bene

Which is a bit >x<

[tight kettle]

How much does a 1 point of Haste reduces our weaponskill recast timer?

[ripe hound]

I think def not worth 2 mil, but no idea

https://allaganstudies.akhmorning.com/guide/speed/

So each haste is around 1% I think

[tight kettle]

Thanks!

[ripe hound]

It's very very rough estimate though

Since
GCD = ⌊ ⌈ ⌊ ( 100 - Arrow ) × ( 100 - Type I ) / 100 ⌋ × ( 100 - Haste ) / 100 ⌋ - Fey Wind ⌋ × ( 100 - Type II ) / 100 ⌉ × (⌊ ( 1000 - ⌊ 130 × ( SS - LevelModLv, SUB ) / LevelModLv, DIV ⌋ ) × ActionDelay / 1000) / 100 ⌋ × Riddle of Fire / 1000 ⌋ × Astral_Umbral / 100 ⌋ / 100
and every one of those ⌊ ⌋ is a floor function, and ⌈ ⌉ is ceiling

[mossy current]

Haste is a single gcd tier

iirc

[tight kettle]

Does that mean if my GCD is 2.0, 1 haste will reduce it to 1.99? o:

[mossy current]

Not too sure? Sorry I'm just relaying info I barely remember from Bozja release.

[tight kettle]

no worries

[oblique trellis]

Should I try out this expansion called "Sleep during Maintenance"?

[plain python]

does Walking Dead debuff disppear the moment you are healed full HP, or you have to be full HP when it expires?

[oblique trellis]

if it's what I think it is you have to be healed for the full amount of your health

Not necessarily in one go though

like if they heal you by half of your full health, twice, before the timer runs out you'll be fine

[plain python]

so, if I have 10k HP, but things keep downing my HP at around 50%, and my healer heals me 10k worth of HP, the debuff will disappear?

[oblique trellis]

are we talking about the DRK skill?

[plain python]

yeah, the skill that keeps you alive for a while still you get healed full

[oblique trellis]

Yeah as long as they heal you for 10k, before the debuff runs out, you'll be fine

[plain python]

got it

btw, I can use mail service to get store items as trial? I just bought some outfits

[oblique trellis]

If they don't, you die no matter how much health you have

Not sure

[twilit arch]

yes you can access the mail moogle as a trial user

you just can't send mail

[remote lintel]

wait so if DRK gets walking dead and is left with 1 hp and the healer uses benediction wouldnt that heal 99% of their hp and therefore wouldnt dispel living dead

[oblique trellis]

maybe they healed before benediction? idk 😄

I haven't actually used that skill on my DRK yet

[twilit arch]

benny cleanses it

[remote lintel]

i see

[twilit arch]

its why whm is very nice to have for drk

since its the easiest and most effective way of dealing with living/walking dead

[spare plinth]

samurai would be considered my first melee job to unlock, should i go with the lvl 1 arr melee classes before doing samurai?

[karmic niche]

no

😉 do what ever you want

[quiet wing]

how long will this maintenance last

[analog gate]

3 more hours

[quiet wing]

[patent citrus]

@spare plinth would recommend getting at least 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 physical dps and 1 magical dps by the end of stormblood all lv 70

so you can do all the blue quests

if samurai will be your physical dps, you can choose the other role

for example if you are leveling an arcanist, by the time you get lv 70 scholar(healer), you will also get lv 70 summoner(magic dps) since they share levels

[willow dune]

Q: Can Allied Seals be used to purchase from all the GC shops or just your associated one?

[slender sphinx]

Does FF usually have maintenance this often? I swear it has gone down 3 times in the last 4 weeks.

[leaden ginkgo]

Once every week

Occasional emergency maintenance for specific worlds

[slender sphinx]

[thorn thicket]

So, how many normal restoration bars is the Hoarfrost Hall's bar?

[leaden ginkgo]

What? That's normal for a lot of MMOs @slender sphinx

[slender sphinx]

I wouldn't know

I don't really play mmorpgs

[thorn thicket]

We just had a patch 2 weeks ago, followed by maintenance to fix a singular item 3 days later, and then this one to fix part of the new patch that people have been complaining about even though they have full control over the issue

[fierce cobalt]

whats everyones preferred way of knowing the games back up without refreshing the lodestone?

[patent citrus]

to be honest, the last one still hasn't fixed the 30% bojza earring 🤦‍♂️

[obsidian hornet]

Wait for someone in discord to say servers are up.

[patent citrus]

I thought it's suppose to be 10%, but it still says 30%

[thorn thicket]

That wasn't the fix

the fix was it wasn't even applying the buff

now it is

[patent citrus]

so the 30% is intended? why i remember it differently

[thorn thicket]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

Idk if that's allowed to be talked about, since its not really malicious..

[thorn thicket]

it's suppose to be 10%, but it wasn't giving the exp buff at all prior to the first hotfix

[fierce cobalt]

is the custom allowed, or is that grey zone?

[leaden ginkgo]

Grey area

Don't talk about it, no one will know, you don't get banned, ez

[oak smelt]

Any idea what emote that is?

[thorn thicket]

and all this hotfix is suppose to do is increase the Castrum timer in Bozja to 6 minutes, probably up from 2

[remote lintel]

the oh shit emote

[oak smelt]

I make that face a few times during quests where my eyes are wide but i cant find it

[leaden ginkgo]

I can give you an invite to the server for it if you want @fierce cobalt

[remote lintel]

it looks like either /alert or /amaze

[fierce cobalt]

I think Im ok, dont really need that much of an answer to knowing the servers up, thanks for the offer Karen

[patent citrus]

that's an emote?

[oak smelt]

@remote lintel are you joking or is that an actual emote. Tjis is why i was asking about non available emotes earlier bte

[remote lintel]

no that was a joke

[oak smelt]

Ah ok

So i just dont have access to it yet

Cool

[patent citrus]

wait, that's an emote?? i thought it's just a character looking right

[remote lintel]

thats not a roe resting face

[oak smelt]

Wait its def not alert. I remember alert

@patent citrus regular face the eyes are narrower and the eyebrows more like this >:|

[patent citrus]

subjective, to me Merlwyb is

i see, i get what you mean.. this is roe resting face? 🤔

[remote lintel]

yes

[patent citrus]

maybe i'll check later what they look like when they look right

[remote lintel]

like that

angy

[oak smelt]

Its why i use a fringe

It covers the eyebrows and makes me lool gentle

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/397966000529735680/770451056949198926/unknown.png

See so sweet

So yeah eyebrows. Pro tip

[remote lintel]

or just make your hair white so your eyebrows disappear

[gloomy ice]

@oak smelt Pretty sure that's /ponder

[patent citrus]

talking about ponytail, why they always afraid of implementing them 🤦‍♂️

when we will ever get hien's/hilda's hairstyle

[remote lintel]

because clipping

[patent citrus]

even rainmaker, they are hesitant to make it available for public

ah yeah i thought so

[twilit arch]

how is rainmaker them being hesitant when it was available from an event two years ago

[patent citrus]

ah correct 😂

[twilit arch]

they just didn't bother to bring it back or put on mogstation

[oak smelt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/397966000529735680/770449059713646612/unknown.png

No this is ponder

@gloomy ice

[remote lintel]

are you sure its not /amazed

[gloomy ice]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

There's another that's similar but I don't recall the name offhand.

[oak smelt]

No with amazed the mouth opens too. @remote lintel

The elusive emote

Its identical to amaze but the mouth stays closed

[remote lintel]

its prob just amaze but they made the mouth close

[oak smelt]

So custom emotes!!!!

Reeeeeeeeee

SE gib me cutie emote too

[remote lintel]

are u sure it was just the facial expression or were there body movements

[oak smelt]

No ive seen it a few times. Just the eyes.

And there was another one but i didnt screenie it. In that it was the same but she was smiling.

it was at the part where ShB spoilers ||you say er...kupo to being surrounded by certain darkness lovers||

I made a goofy face while saying that where the eyes were light that and i had a sheepish smile.

[remote lintel]

prob just amaze then

[oak smelt]

*custom amaze

I was right wasnt i cerbie senpai

Say i was

[little swift]

[remote lintel]

not if u call me that

[twilit arch]

this is not a vent channel

[little swift]

Its work time for them

[patent citrus]

I totally forgot ^

sorry, haha

[oak smelt]

Lol srsly tho now we know the game may have custom emotes that arent attainable.

Thats valuable information.
Esp for gpose enthusiasts and rp people.

[little swift]

They adjust things as necessary for cutscenes

If you use mods like cmt you can probably recreate them in goose yourself

[oak smelt]

Maybe if i really get into it after i finish msq. Just wanted to know if it was possible to get. Oh well no biggie. I got an excuse to post my roe at least.

Anyways thanks for the help everyone.

[gloomy ice]

Oh also /confused is the other similar one. It could be that. If not then probs just a gpose thing.

[oak smelt]

Nah its not that. Theres some low activity old reddit posts about cutscene only emotes too.

Theyre rare but are a thing i guess.

[leaden ginkgo]

What are the names of the weapons you get from Bozjan or w/e?

[remote lintel]

resistance weapons?

[glossy flare]

They each have a unique name on account of them being the ShB relics

[leaden ginkgo]

Mmm one more question, my gear is p, outdated but I'm level 80 on my desired classes, can I still do Bozjan w/o any worries?

[slate arrow]

yes

everything is synced to 430

everything except the Resistance Weapon

heck you could be wearing level 1 gear and it'll be synced to 430

[glad comet]

Resistance weapons aren't synced?

[leaden ginkgo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYqq9Ovz_9c
My literal reaction at that news

[slate arrow]

as far as I can tell, the 500 and 505(?) Ones aren't

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyways, tysvm

[slate arrow]

the 485 one however is

[glad comet]

HUH

TIL

[slate arrow]

It's a similar system applied to eureka

Where eureka gear has a special tag in the description which makes it so item sync doesn't apply to those items

[leaden ginkgo]

Mmm one more question then, how many hours would you guesstimate it would take to finish one relic?

[slate arrow]

depends on how efficient you grind and/or it's your first one

first one? A good few hours. Especially if you're soloing it

[little swift]

About 3 hours total if you're efficient

[leaden ginkgo]

Ehh? Only a few hours? Is that to completely finish the weapon, or am I misunderstanding this?

[slate arrow]

Subsequent ones with a full party or more coordinated? I dunno. An hour? Probably less actually?

There's two steps after the 485 step

[karmic niche]

server up yet?

[leaden ginkgo]

No @karmic niche

[karmic niche]

ok ty

[slate arrow]

First one is to 500 which needs 60 items total, 20 of each

Then you need 6 items afterward which is guaranteed upon doing a level 60 dungeon or bozja grinding

the reason why they're faster is because of Heavensward

From doing the FATES and dungeons respectively

they're only faster if you're a solo player though

If you can get any degree of coordination in an instance, Bozja will be faster for your relic needs

[glossy flare]

Do note, there will be more steps in the future

[leaden ginkgo]

Well, what about time to complete every step of the weapon, in that case?

[glossy flare]

Just right now that is all there is

[slate arrow]

a few months, if you're counting the wait to 5.5

I'm not exaggerating when it'll only take about 2-3 hours to get the current maxed relic though

It's about the same time frame for a eureka weapon, minus the level grinding

[leaden ginkgo]

Are the current maxed relics any good looking though or naw?

[glossy flare]

That is subjective of course

[slate arrow]

that's something I can't tell you

[glossy flare]

And depends on the weapon

Personally I like the WHM and GNB ones for example while the SAM one just looks meh to me

But your verdict might be different 🤷

[slate arrow]

I'm still sad the gunbreaker lionheart didn't get a dyeable or glowing version

the resistance relic looks... Meh at best to me lmao

[glossy flare]

I'd have preferred the Lionheart too, yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

Holy FUCK THOSE GLAMS

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/i9joiy/spoilers_53535_new_glowy_relic_weapons_bozjan/

[remote lintel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSMYchFlb8E

[glossy flare]

The glowy versions are also dyable btw

Which looks better on some weapons than others

For example dying the WHM one will also change the colour of the leaves

Which is kinda dope imho

[obsidian hornet]

Are there going to be more stages to the resistance weps?

[analog gate]

yes, in the upcoming patches

[obsidian hornet]

Ok thanks.

[shut kelp]

are there patch notes for the maintenance?

I heard they are changing the bozja timer for castrum

to 6mins instead of 2mins to queue up

[glossy flare]

no patch notes afaik

[twilit arch]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/588726c0b5aff873f2e0ccba6b20ac88ffe3f8e8 @shut kelp

[karmic niche]

server up?

[gentle quarry]

They are!

[karmic niche]

yay!

[bronze narwhal]

This might be a technical question but, if anyone using Vegaspro does anyone know how to prevent Direct X crashing while opening Vegaspro along with FFXIV?
I kindda need to work along with this game, what bothers me is just, if FFXIV crashes, it will keep crashing with DX reason until I restart my PC.

[wicked stag]

Hey, I've just downloaded the game but there are too many servers and worlds. Which one should I choose? I can only speak English and I'm living in Europe

[green grail]

anything on light or chaos, except for moogle and shiva as they're unofficially more french and german speaking

[kind eagle]

When is the peak hour that PF is alive

[gentle quarry]

Depends on your data centre...

[kind eagle]

Kujata

[gentle quarry]

but like anytime after 5pm server time is peak hour really

Kujata is half JP half Australians

so check after 5pm Sydney time and it should be pretty busy

[kind eagle]

Japan is 1h ahead of singapore

So prob 6 in sg

ah yeah forgot the SEA players on there too

[mossy tartan]

Is it possible to hide the crown when you’re a mentor?

[obsidian patio]

Change your online status to a non-mentor status

It only forcefully appears when you queue for mentor roulette

[mossy tartan]

Okay, thank you

[vestal needle]

Is there a list of important unlock

Been playing a few months and just barely got wonderous tail

[honest anvil]

Do retainers need/ use GP?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[honest anvil]

Do they just use gathering?

[gusty pasture]

whats new with the update?

[obsidian patio]

For Miner/Botanist/Fisher, yeah

@gusty pasture https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/588726c0b5aff873f2e0ccba6b20ac88ffe3f8e8

[lethal cape]

What are those? Eden 5 Savage?

[green grail]

yeah

[lethal cape]

Oh, okay. I found those, not sure if they are okay to use?

[outer plank]

how do i get cracked clusters to buy materias?

from eulmore vendor?

[hasty musk]

roulettes as a level 80

[outer plank]

i meant for the crafter/gathering materias

[twilit arch]

wondrous tails

the crafter/gatherer materias are crystals by the by

clusters are for combat materia

[outer plank]

ah ok

[woeful harbor]

is it normal to take so much time to forming party for quest line dungeons ?

[lethal cape]

Depends on class

And hour

[woeful harbor]

https://prnt.sc/v7rqxp

more than 30 min

[lethal cape]

Yeah

It is

[hasty musk]

if you're DPS, it tends to take long already

if you're queuing outside of popular hours that doesn't help either

[twilit arch]

just saying, that's the average wait time

and its not always entirely accurate

[woeful harbor]

is their any way to skip it ?

[twilit arch]

15-20mins is more common wait times for dps

[lethal cape]

With healer/tank most of the time during MSQ I had instant queues, but I played only in peak hours

[outer plank]

is the cracke crystals ONLY through wt?

[twilit arch]

yes, crystals are only from the bronze/silver/gold certs

[outer plank]

i havent really done wt at all

so i guess ill put that on my to do list for now on

[lethal cape]

@woeful harbor this is just my personal opinion, but Gunbreaker (tank) is one of the classes that feel like a DPS in FFXIV
Pretty much it's a tank that feels like a normal DPS class and it's damage is quite nice as well so you get close to instant queues if you're tank

Overview:

DPS Parce from 5.2 (older patch, now we're in 5.3)

[twilit arch]

please don't like desperius

he gets a lot wrong

[woeful harbor]

then i have to start again 🤯

[lethal cape]

Nobody is perfect, but as a small guide for beginners it helped me 😅

[twilit arch]

Weskabler is a much better source

or can look at the various faq guides we have here

[hasty musk]

gunbreaker unlocks at level 60, so you wouldn't have to start over to get it even if you wanted to swap

[lethal cape]

then i have to start again 🤯
If I remember correctly, you only go down by 10 levels as you unlock Gunbreaker at level 50-60, but I really have no clue. @twilit arch might be able to give you exact info on this

[twilit arch]

gunbreaker is requires lvl 60 to unlock and starts at 60

[outer plank]

^

[woeful harbor]

im at level 37

[outer plank]

only classes that start at 50 would samurai and rdm

[covert turtle]

Is there any way to get yokai medals without yokai equipped, cause i used my 1st coin to buy damona and her fate areas are in gyr abania but i cant get there

[outer plank]

@woeful harbor then keep on keeping

[woeful harbor]

and already waiting so long to do this dung

[outer plank]

@woeful harbor you know... ummm the server just came off of mainteance

so the game is dead rn

[twilit arch]

For legendary medals you have to have the correct minion out and be in the correct zones

[woeful harbor]

oh isee

[outer plank]

also if you're on na

[twilit arch]

so if you can't get to stormblood zones to do fates there, then you'll just have to wait or work on another minion's legendary medals

[gentle quarry]

How often do weathers change?

[outer plank]

its like the dead of morning rn

so theres also that

[twilit arch]

12:00 am, 8:00 am, and 04:00 pm Eorzean Time is when weather changes @gentle quarry

[lethal cape]

Another thing that somebody taught me when I was super new is to level up a Scholar (Healer) through MSQ because when you level up Scholar you also level up Summoner (DPS)

[woeful harbor]

no im in eu

[gentle quarry]

@twilit arch thankies 🙂

[onyx kiln]

how much different is the difficulty for players who goes to Bozja at lv 71 compared to lv 80

[outer plank]

well if you don't know you're job well, its probably gonna be slightly more diffcult depending on much is changes between 71-80

but theres dummies at the camp to practice on

[onyx kiln]

but you wont take more damage compared to a capped character

[hasty musk]

your ilvl is synced to 430 on entering

[outer plank]

everyone is at 430

[onyx kiln]

i forgot what ilevel you are in general at lv 71

[outer plank]

only difference would be if someone has upgraded resistance gear

in which case that guy deserves it cause he has no life

@onyx kiln probably 390

or 400 if you have scavean gear

[onyx kiln]

my pld have a ilevel of 380 with most of my gear being augmented scaevan

[paper torrent]

silly question, is there a way to minimize/move the ability description pop ups? rn mine are grossly oversized and they cover up my entire hotbar while I'm trying to arrange it

[twilit arch]

everyone is lvl 80 and i430 in bozja

[outer plank]

weapon and accessories to? @onyx kiln that cant be right

[twilit arch]

even if you're below 80 naturally

[onyx kiln]

not that part sadly, have not enough poetics for that atm

[outer plank]

literally all the pieces are ilv 400

[onyx kiln]

wait, i had all that

[karmic niche]

you only have 1 scaevan ring

[onyx kiln]

wait, had a belt that is crap

[twilit arch]

The 1 and 2 lvl mobs don't hurt that much, 3/4 hurt even as an 80 character

[outer plank]

@onyx kiln "it was never whitney's milktank"

[onyx kiln]

ilevel 279

[outer plank]

words to live by

[onyx kiln]

also a ring at the same

of to rhalgrs i guess

[wicked stag]

Its my first time playing this(and this type of) game. I have some questions:

1- Is there a way to auto-skip all cutscenes and dialogues? I don't care about the lore.
2- I don't understand anything from the map. Is there a way to open a blinking arrow type of thing to show me the way?
3- Do I have to walk everywhere? Is there a faster method of moving?

[twilit arch]

@paper torrent you can change the tooltips to be in a fixed position rather than on your mouse's location in character config > ui settings

1. nope, have to hit escape/click thru to skip.
2. I would suggest zooming in on the map, likely looking at the overall area map rather than the zone specific map which will generally be easier to navigate.
3. you'll get a mount around level 20 in the main scenario quest, other wise just have to make due with walking/sprinting until then

[paper torrent]

thank you so much

It wasn't an issue for me on controller but using a mouse makes it quite annoying

[brave ravine]

are there any patch notes for the hot fixes that went live a few hours ago?

[twilit arch]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/588726c0b5aff873f2e0ccba6b20ac88ffe3f8e8

[brave ravine]

thanks

[onyx kiln]

okay, updated my gear with some sigma scape items and have now a ilevel of 396,

[outer plank]

curious, where is your pfp from jon

[onyx kiln]

the miltank?

[outer plank]

yeah

i wanna make that an emote

[twilit arch]

#not-ffxiv-discussion or dms please

[pliant karma]

I have trouble leveling up to 15 for my MSQ fast

Currently at Level 13 for my Rogue lol

[twilit arch]

I assume you've done what you can of the rogue hunting log?

[outer plank]

@pliant karma side quests or hunting logs

[pliant karma]

trying to find the rest

[twilit arch]

http://dimensionaldeath.com/index.php?page=huntinglogs

has pictures of the locations to make it easier to find them

if the rest of them dont get you to 15, can do fates or a few side quests

[wary swallow]

which is the tankiest non-tank class?

[hasty musk]

DRG probably? not like it matters since you shouldn't be tanking anything anyway

[green grail]

yeah thats not really a thing

[honest anvil]

some jobs have dmg reduction skills fwiw

[hasty musk]

that still won't compare to a tank though

not even close

[honest anvil]

but nothing comparable tanks ofc

[gusty pasture]

what do I put in PF to get a competent group for E5S? I've spent 3 hours yesterday and an hour today running E5S over and over with 0 clears because people die to CL and Fury's Stepped Leader

Parse groups, BR/Tri, TN/Circ, TN/Tri, BR/Circ, Farm groups, nothing works

I think I've been in every combination of E5S groups but everyone really dies to the same mechanics, especially CL and Stepped leader

So am I just unlucky or is the Primal Community's player quality just, bad at PF?

[green grail]

probably unlucky + the tier is like 9 months old by now so everyone who wanted a thousand clears for every possible piece of gear already cleared, so what's left raiding is people who struggle with clearing

[hasty musk]

pugs seem like they'd be a blowup just by nature of being public, but yeah, it being late into the tier definitely doesn't help

[gusty pasture]

Ahh so starting the game so late dooms me from getting decent clears

Wish I played back when SHB released or something

[green grail]

well, only the current tier, the next one is coming in early december as its been delayed cause of covid

usually tiers are around 6 months long and the loot is uncapped very close to the next tier coming out so people come back to farm it some more

[slender sphinx]

What's the most efficient way to level after hitting 70 (that I have available to me)
I just finished HW and want to powerlevel my Pally

[hasty musk]

keep doing msq

[slender sphinx]

It's patch content

only getting 16k xp per quest

:/

[hasty musk]

yes, but you're already level 70 in the level 60 expac

[green grail]

but after it is next expansion's leveling content for 60-70 and 70-80

[wary swallow]

DRG probably? not like it matters since you shouldn't be tanking anything anyway
@hasty musk bojza

[slender sphinx]

I know. I just mainly want to powerlevel so I can efficiently farm Ravana (extreme) for the eagle mount

[green grail]

class still doesn't matter since you'll be using tanky lost actions

[slender sphinx]

and farm some of the other HW extremes as a solo/duo

[green grail]

you should be able to solo ravana ex as a 70, you just need gear, which is msq-gated and you need to finish ShB

[slender sphinx]

Can duo it pretty effectively with my pally and scholar friend but yeah takes a while

Of course he got the mount the first time we killed it

[mossy tartan]

When players say “tiers” they mean more raids for the current expansion’s series?

[twilit arch]

yeah basically. so Eden's Gate was the first tier, Eden's Verse is second tier, and Eden's Promise will be the third tier

also coincides with the weekly tomestone set

[pliant karma]

Finally level 15, thank for hunting log guide

Gonna do MSQ and Class Quest now

[runic bough]

@slender sphinx Do your MSQ, roulettes and beast tribes.

[magic wren]

Is there a macro for ninjutsu’s? Where I use it instantly with having to press ten chi Jin in a certain order?

[runic bough]

Also do dungeons that are the closest to your level @slender sphinx

[magic wren]

Without*

[green grail]

no

[warped nest]

Don't do that

Just practice it

[green grail]

macros only work in full seconds and the game attempts to execute one line of macro only in one frame, so if you macro'd TCJ you'd have a half-not-working 3 second long macro, instead of working-every-time 1.5s worth of button pressing

[warped nest]

I remember Ninjutsu by learning the ending Mudra and total mudra number, Raiton is 2 Mudra and it ends with Chi

So I just press either Ten/Jin then Chi, I get raiton

Doton is 3 mudra ending with Chi, Huton is 3 ending with Ten,
Suiton is 3 ending with Jin

So on and so forth

Not saying this is how you should remember them, just trying to recommend a way

If you want to write them down on a piece of paper, that can work too

[hasty musk]

post a sticky note on your monitor if you gotta

[magic wren]

Ah I see thanks!

[verbal rune]

MCH and ASG are both locked behind HW, right? I need to finish the level 50 MSQ to get those too?

[wintry chasm]

MCH, DRK, and AST

Yes

You need to reach the first expansion

[verbal rune]

Damn

[lethal cape]

Should I feel good about this as a new-ish player? 😅

[open rivet]

you can basically ignore it until you want the mount

[lethal cape]

It makes you feel good getting comm'd

[runic bough]

^

It gives me a self confidence boost

[warped nest]

I remember that on one of the Moon fire Faire event, we have an objective to use a scope to find a NPC on a beach, but we ||ended up seeing a bunch of dudes with six pack posing||

Anyone here remember which year it is?

[wintry chasm]

uhhh

I want to say 2017

[dawn mountain]

Going from Zenith to the Lux weapon, can it be done without having to make any form of premade group? as in can I basically do it alone or will l at some point have to look for other people

[warped nest]

@wintry chasm yes it is 2017, thanks!!

[outer plank]

im pretty sure you can just do dungeons for the lux step now

[lavish vortex]

Hi! Best way to level up lvl60 job is highest dungeon?

[little swift]

You can solo almost all of it depending on job

Af least for the anima

[outer plank]

@lavish vortex spam the lv 59 dungeon or potd

[twilit arch]

assuming you're lvl 80, you can solo everything needed for lux

[little swift]

Some things will take a tad longer as a result

[twilit arch]

er zeta

[little swift]

Like light farm

[outer plank]

@lavish vortex are you on trial?

[lavish vortex]

Thanks, I was meaning in general, leveling a 60 lvl character to 80, best way is highest dungeon possible? (Apart from daily roulettes)

[twilit arch]

Anima, for the victory lap portion, most of it can be solo'd with a few of the later trials easier to get a group for those

[lavish vortex]

No, it’s a 2nd class im@leveling

[outer plank]

@lavish vortex depends on your role, if you're someone like a tank or healer that can get close to instant queues

[twilit arch]

assuming your queue times are under 15mins, yes highest lvl dungeon spam is recommend (except the 60/70 dungeons)

[wintry chasm]

^

[outer plank]

then dungeons

[wintry chasm]

on top of your roulettes and stuff

[twilit arch]

if your dungeon queues are longer than 15, then general recommendation is HoH/trusts

[lavish vortex]

It’s gin breaker so yeah, dungeons it is, thanks!

[twilit arch]

tho you'll need to get to 61 first before you can do hoh

[lavish vortex]

Gunbreaker lol

[outer plank]

you've ever tank before @lavish vortex ?

[void pivot]

hi guys

how do i get carbontwine to upgrade my we

wep

[hasty musk]

carbontwine? what weapon is this?

[tidal yarrow]

what was the maint for?

[void pivot]

augmented

[hasty musk]

bojza hotfixes iirc

[twilit arch]

carbontwine is for ironworks

but its no longer possible to get it

[void pivot]

oh

oh wait

im stupid

[twilit arch]

since all poetic gear is automatically purchase as augmented

[void pivot]

the vendor sells it augmented already

[hasty musk]

lol

you're fine, you're not the first to make that mistake

I definitely did

[void pivot]

hahahah

also how do i apply these things to my wep

[hasty musk]

you meld them yourself after unlocking it, or you go to a materia melder in a hub city

[outer plank]

@lavish vortex i dm'd you some things you will probably need to know for gnb

[void pivot]

ok will check it out

ty

[simple pine]

are names only per world unique?

[little swift]

Yes

You can have the same name on different worlds

[simple pine]

ohh

i just met someone with the exact name as my friend

thought it was them!

[dreamy warren]

For retainers on ventures, its just a matter of equipping them with the right weapons, right? They dont need armor?

[open rivet]

they need to fulfill stats for higher ventures

[twilit arch]

they do, as you get higher in lvl with them the requirements for ventures will require higher ilvl

[wintry chasm]

for combat retainers

[twilit arch]

!faq retainerbp

[zinc orbit]

What are the current retainer breakpoints for max yield?

BTN/MIN: 2083 Gathering.
FSH: 1628 Gathering.
DoW/DoM: Item Level 428.

[wintry chasm]

and for gathering ones they-

need gathering yeah

so that's more than just the weapon required

[dawn mountain]

Did the lvl 50 msq get shorter? or was it only that u can fly to make it faster

[open rivet]

I just let them gear themselves slowly by quick ventures

[wintry chasm]

It got shortened too

[rotund sable]

it got shorter

[dawn mountain]

ok

[wintry chasm]

(and CT was made mandatory in it)

[little swift]

Its both for sure

[dawn mountain]

this might be a weird question, but did I just mess up and use my fantasia to become a bunny but they cant actually use helmets?

[wintry chasm]

Viera can't wear most hats

[open rivet]

they can only show very limited headgear

[twilit arch]

you can use helmets, just a fair number of them won't show

[dawn mountain]

oh

[open rivet]

you get the stats, but because of the ears most stuff just doesn't show

[open ember]

You can wear tiny hats so long as they don't cover the ears

[wintry chasm]

basically for the most part if you think it'll clearly clip the ears you can't wear it

[twilit arch]

so if you're someone who really likes wearing hats and helms, then you probably dont wanna stay as viera

[dawn mountain]

so all full helmets are a nono?

[open ember]

Nope

They're just not gonna show up at all

[open rivet]

not all, there's some that clip the ears and still show up

[open ember]

Despite you having them equipped

[open rivet]

it's completely inconsistent

[dawn mountain]

[wintry chasm]

Yeah so something like this? Not happening

[open ember]

They can wear flowers, tiny hats and a few select headwear

Also Hrothgar are the same as viera

No hats

[lost grove]

The lvl 3 ixal beast tribes quest isn't showing up for me idk why

[open rivet]

and then there's "Heavy Steel Armor" which just hides your ears

[runic bough]

Helloooo everyone
Can anyone help me a bit in #protips-and-ui
Apparently people don't check that channel too often so I appreciate it if someone lends me a hand o/

[fiery falcon]

I have a question regarding buying the game / expansion pack. I have the NON-steam version of the game. My friends have the steam version. They say they can just buy a subscription + the latest expansion. But it looks like I have to buy the base game (starter edition?) PLUS a subscription and the expansion pack. Is that correct?

Seems weird it's more expensive to have the non steam version

[twilit arch]

it doesn't matter if you're steam or non-steam. you have to own the base game in order to be able to use the expansion code on your account

[wintry chasm]

^

Either your friend already owns the base game or they are wrong

[fiery falcon]

Ahh okay, thank you!

So I'll have to get the base game + a subscription + latest expansion then

[twilit arch]

yeah, though the base game comes with 30 days free

[leaden ginkgo]

When it comes to the meld sets listed in the pins
#doh-dol-lounge message
Which set would you guys recommend for someone who spends most of their time gathering/crafting for profit?
Also, these are up to date?

[lost grove]

So no answers for my question?

[fiery falcon]

The latest expansion is shadowbringers right?

[glossy flare]

Yup

[fiery falcon]

and that's the only one i need to buy?

not the previous ones?

[glossy flare]

Yes

[fiery falcon]

cool thanks!

[glossy flare]

Because Heavensward is included in the Starter Edition

And Stormblood is part of buying Shadowbringers

[fiery falcon]

Cool thanks!!

[open ember]

Should I bother getting all the resistance relics to the "Recollection" step? Or just a select few? I have every class at 80 but idk if I should do EVERY single one.

[glossy flare]

I mean, do you want to?

[little swift]

If you want access to decent weapon for the job why not

[glossy flare]

On the plus side, the fate farm is probably still going strong right now so that's an easy way to do it solo

[little swift]

But its a big time investment

Also an easy way to burn out

[glossy flare]

True, I did 4 of them and that was more than enough

[little swift]

You need 1020 memories

Total for first step

And 102 for the second

I've done 7 worth at this point

[pliant karma]

Why in terms of getting end game gears from raiding, FF is less RNG compared to WoW?

[open ember]

Hmm

Mayhaps I'll take it at a slow pace then

[little swift]

Its less rng because you have a sort of pity system

If you dont roll the gear you need

[twilit arch]

the books that you get from doing savage means you know you can eventually get the gear you need

wow does not have that

[open ember]

Ty Channy & Cypher

[little swift]

You're awarded tokens you can save up to get the gear

[glossy flare]

Say you never win any loot rolls, you still get your gear eventually

Just takes longer

[pliant karma]

Ohh, I assume you could only get raid loots once per week right?

[gentle quarry]

WoW used to have tokens too they removed it in Pandaria

[little swift]

Yes its still weekly

[patent citrus]

well wow still have token

that can convert irl money to boe gears

[gentle quarry]

I miss badges system cause I fucking have the RNG gearing

[patent citrus]

basically p2w

[twilit arch]

the wow token is not the same thing

[gentle quarry]

I'm talking about raid tokens

The Game time token is just to combat RMT

[glossy flare]

Bottom line is XIV still has rng built into the system but also a mechanic that ensures you will get your gear eventually

But if you're lucky it's faster

[leaden ginkgo]

[gentle quarry]

By giving players a way to covert $ into gold

[pliant karma]

Wait in FFXIV, when is the earliest level/quest to get a mount again? I recall its around 20 and a chocobo?

[gentle quarry]

Level 20 you get a chocobo

[twilit arch]

specifically lvl 20 in the msq

[glossy flare]

Yeah, being lvl 20 means nothing, having your MSQ at 20 is what you need

[gentle quarry]

After you choose your GC

[pliant karma]

Aight, and any important quests that I need to do to unlock game functions

early on? like glamour

or is it all in msq

[twilit arch]

glamour and dyeing are both in vesper bay

[glossy flare]

Pretty much every unlocks some form of content

Though some are more important than others

[twilit arch]

But generally if its a its worth doing

[glossy flare]

I would recommend doing all eventually

[pliant karma]

Aight

[open rivet]

theres a lot of that also give stuff like minions

[twilit arch]

the notable exceptions are "So you want to be X" (class unlocks) and Levemetes of X (unlocks leves which aren't too useful for combat jobs, but can be easier to get these done at the appropriate level since some of the leves ask you to get mobs low and can be tedious to do at max lvl)

[pliant karma]

And i can ask why do popular MMOs use tab target battle system such as WoW and FF yet its still popular? Because I read online on reddit about people complaining that MMOs battle systems are bad unless they are actioney

[open rivet]

vocal minority

[pliant karma]

Not that I'm complaining

[faint flare]

Its old

[glossy flare]

From a game design perspective it is indeed a bit outdated but so are wow and xiv tbh

Both of these games are old

[faint flare]

Wow and 14 are old as hell

[simple pine]

can you select which actions make your controller vibrate? i have it plugged in just for the duty queue pop, but it also vibrates when you fish and stuff

[gentle quarry]

Wow is ancient compared to XIv

[twilit arch]

a lot of people play 14 for the story, the combat being tab target is not really a selling point but for many ppl its also not a breaking point either

[glossy flare]

In fact some people enjoy it that way because of the old school feel

It's a matter of taste

[pliant karma]

I saw in reddit before that people who plays actioney mmos tend to hop games a lot

After new trending ones come out

[glossy flare]

That's a hard to prove statement tbh

[simple pine]

and there are a million other factors you would have to take into account

[twilit arch]

also getting a bit more #video-games-general discussion-y

than qnh really

[simple pine]

quick solve my controller question to bring this channel back on track 😄

[twilit arch]

no, you can't make it vibrate for specific things

You either have vibration on or off

[leaden ginkgo]

I'll ask here again since #doh-dol-lounge is pretty dead
What meld set is recommended for a heavy crafter? The ones in the pins from August?

[simple pine]

Might have to fidget with ACT triggers then

might be possible that way!

[patent citrus]

yeah, looks like anecdotal evidence

[little swift]

Whatever you can afford tbh. You can always adjust your melds if you find you're struggling jn the next tier @leaden ginkgo

Crafters and gatherers are more meld flexible in that sense

If you're completing crafts just fine right now

Then the melds you have are ok as they are

If you're sure you're going to craft constantly I'd go with the more expensive set

Since you can make all of that back

[patent citrus]

ah yes, i'm not sure

i only played wow during helya legion era

isn't my cup of tea and i don't remember any raid token hmm

[distant yacht]

Heya are dungeons the best way to level up quick?

[simple pine]

When trying to sell neo ish gear I noticed on my server you instantly get undercut by 1 gil by a specific group of market board bots. which makes it super hard to sell those equips. Will that not be the case for the new tier of crafted gear in the first weeks? since it's more scarce and has more demand?

[patent citrus]

yeah for tank/heale

[distant yacht]

I'm trying to level up my bard, whats the better way?

[patent citrus]

potd/hoh I think 🤔

[open ember]

Depends on your level

[distant yacht]

Okie thx

Ima fresh lvl 30

[open ember]

But if its your first class then don't do potd/hoh

[rotund sable]

its not necessarily bots, players sell at 1 gil less than market too

[distant yacht]

its my second

[rotund sable]

the market lists from lowest to highest so people sell for 1 gil less to get the first spot

they are pretty known

[rotund sable]

could be bots, could be nolifers

[obsidian hornet]

Does the yokai watch affect legendary medal drop rates? Seems like it does for me.

No

[unborn light]

[wintry chasm]

Um

I wouldn't hold out hope for closer stuff in 6.0

So I'm a relatively new player. I've never used glamour items before or anything (I have access to the glamour dresser though) - I just bought an outfit set from the mog store. How do I use it? Is there a guide? I'm pretty sure I have a glamour plate as well but I'm insure as to how I need to use it 😬 I don't wanna mess anything up

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[wintry chasm]

Hi ! Can I in the game be a recruit and a recruiter at the same time or not?
When you buy the game you can get recruited and you should have the ability to recruit as well so yes

[fiery falcon]

Hmm but that doesn't say anything about the plates

[leaden ginkgo]

@little swift How expensive is the high tier set vs the recommended?

[wintry chasm]

Is there no way to obtain wedding dresses other than the MogStation/ceremony?
No way of getting that specific dress no

[faint flare]

!faq glamourdresser

[zinc orbit]

Glamour Dresser FAQ

"What is the Glamour Dresser?"

The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.

"How do I use it?"

In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".

When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

[wintry chasm]

basically go to an innroom, put your mogstation items in the armoire, go to the glamour dresser, put that gear from the armoire onto a plate boom

@little swift How expensive is the high tier set vs the recommended?
@leaden ginkgo depends on how lucky you are with pentamelds and how expensive materia is on your market

[pliant karma]

Can someone explain how does Rogue's Trick Attack work? It says to be only usable in hidden and I was doing a dungeon and every time I try to go Hidden, I get exposed immediately

[open rivet]

so, for PotD leveling, do you just queue 1-10 and hope you can get a run going for longer than the first set of floors or queue for 50+?

[faint flare]

You use Suiton

To use trick in combat

[dark pecan]

appreciate it @faint flare @wintry chasm 👍

I recruit 3 friends when I bought the game (during the 30days) and now that I'm at the moment of buy my first subscription they ask me if I want to be recruit too, so I was asking myself if I could have the rewards of being recruit and being a recruiters ^^ @wintry chasm

[warped nest]

Oops

just to reiterate, yes you can still be recruited since you haven't bought a sub yet

[steep dagger]

[gentle grail]

I am kind of worried to follow quest line with my gear since I havent played very long, should I buy MB gear before hand?

[glossy flare]

What's your MSQ level and ilvl?

[gentle grail]

Level 80 is the last one I have finished called Shadowbringers

ilvl is 430

[wintry chasm]

Right

[glossy flare]

Then you'll be mostly fine but if you have the gil I would still recommend buying 480 gear from the MB

It would be the fastest and easiest way to get good gear that will be okay for most content

[wintry chasm]

If you've done your SB 24 man raid you can start the shadowbringers relic stuff and get very good weapons

[glossy flare]

also this ^

[gentle grail]

How do I check fi I have done that?

[glossy flare]

check if you have completed these 3 raids

And the questlines associated with it ofc

[wintry chasm]

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

Look for this quest would be easier

[glossy flare]

True

[wintry chasm]

since I think there is a quest after doing Monastery which is necessary so it won't tell you if you've done everything you need to by looking at duty finder

[gentle grail]

I only have this

[wintry chasm]

Wrong tab

[glossy flare]

wrong tab

[gentle grail]

Sorry

[wintry chasm]

But again just look for that tab

[glossy flare]

no worries 😄

[wintry chasm]

er

quest

[glossy flare]

The 3 raids mentioned are from Stormblood

[wintry chasm]

just tp to Kugane it's way easier and accurate

[glossy flare]

It's just that completing them is a requirement for starting the Shadowbringers relic weapons questline

[wintry chasm]

Right

[gentle grail]

I do have a ✅ on each one of those

I think I finished them xD

[wintry chasm]

again, you probably finished what you have to

[glossy flare]

then just port over to Kugane and look for the quest linked above

[wintry chasm]

but

yeah

look for the quest

[gentle grail]

In journal?

Or map?

[wintry chasm]

map

If it's still red you probably have some quest left in prima vista you need to finish

[gentle grail]

Moment teleporting to Kugane

Its blue

[wintry chasm]

Yeah okay cool

That starts the Shadowbringers relic stuff

You'll want to do that for weapons

[gentle grail]

Is that the Eureka?

[wintry chasm]

No

Eureka was the Stormblood relic stuff

[gentle grail]

oh sorry ok

damn i havent played in ages lol

so do i need to buy the gear as well before i do the relic thing from MB?

They are going for below 100k in my server

[patent citrus]

can't hand in dyed equipment to get gc seals? 🤔

[wintry chasm]

What equipment is it?

so do i need to buy the gear as well before i do the relic thing from MB?
I'd do the relic stuff right now, get the weapon

and then after that it depends on what you want to do

[patent citrus]

edencall gaunlets of striking

strangely i've hand in other edecall/gate gears before

🤔 this is weird

[gentle grail]

I'd do the relic stuff right now, get the weapon
alright, doing that quest you told me right now

[wintry chasm]

you can either buy the high quality neo ishgard gear or you can grind out the raids and stuff you haven't unlocked/done for gear

Also the tomestone gear in Eulmore

One is faster but costs gil the other one is free but needs some grinding

[gentle grail]

hmm, well i got 1mil of gil

not sure if it is worth or not

[wintry chasm]

so TL:DR
Do relic for weapon
Buy the tomestone gear when you can
Fill out the rest with neo Ishgard gear or raid gear

[gentle grail]

what would you recommend for return person like me?

[patent citrus]

i would say buy neo ishgardian when you need to fill the minimum normal raid requirement

[wintry chasm]

You said the high quality Neo ishgard gear is under 100k per piece?

[gentle grail]

ye like head gear is 41k gil

[wintry chasm]

and that's high quality right?

Very important

[gentle grail]

uhm

[wintry chasm]

[gentle grail]

yes I think haha

it was glowy!

ye

[wintry chasm]

Right then tbh what I'd do you might call a ballache but I'd get the weapon and then try and unlock all the raids and stuff, if I hit a ilvl requirement gate I'd just buy some pieces to get me over that requirement and then do a mix of "try to deck myself out in raid and tomestone gear to raise ilvl but also buy neo Ishgard if I have to"

[gentle grail]

wont i be "crushed" to pieces in raids/dungeons if i am at ilvl requirement?

mix or such

people might hate on me lol xD

[patent citrus]

oh sorry, it was my mistake edencall is current tier gear i think 🤦‍♂️

[wintry chasm]

Nah

[patent citrus]

so can't hand in edencall gear, but edengate can

[wintry chasm]

Edencall is E1-4S

Edenchoir is the current stuff

Er

actually idk

it's definitely not the current savage stuff

[patent citrus]

no hehe, edencall is the normal e5-e8 stuff hehe

[wintry chasm]

Right edengrace was E1-4S

[patent citrus]

edengate e1-e4 normal stuff

edengrace = e1-e4 savage

edenchoir e1-e5 savage

[wintry chasm]

wont i be "crushed" to pieces in raids/dungeons if i am at ilvl requirement?
A) you'll have the relic weapon which is very good and weapon is the biggest contributer for stats
B) it's a ilvl requirement. The requirement is there to stop you from getting crushed
C) People won't care
D) I don't have a D

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

[gentle grail]

A) you'll have the relic weapon which is very good and weapon is the biggest contributer for stats
B) it's a ilvl requirement. The requirement is there to stop you from getting crushed
C) People won't care
D) I don't have a D
haha, thanks :D

[wintry chasm]

just, if you buy neo ishgard gear

don't buy the normal quality version

or people really will hate you

They have stats much much lower than other gear at that ilvl so you'd basically be cheating ilvl with the stats of a wet noodle

[gentle grail]

why do they sell it xD

but cool cool

shiny is best

[twilit arch]

NQ is still ok if you wanna use for like glam

[patent citrus]

ah yeah i haerd they look nice hehe

[twilit arch]

plus there are people who don't realize that NQ is not good to use so they buy it

[wintry chasm]

why do they sell it xD
because they fucked up the craft and want to either sell it as glam or to try and scam new players for some sort of return

[twilit arch]

ignorant of the fact that NQ has shit stats

[gentle grail]

that quest you told me about do i keep following it?

[wintry chasm]

(I'm guilty of this myself)

Yeah Den

[gentle grail]

is this important?

[wintry chasm]

You'll get your relic weapon soo- hahaa

I mean it's important for the relic questline

[gentle grail]

oh the cutscene?

so i cant skip

[wintry chasm]

not being able to skip and knowing you shouldn't skip are two different things

and some people value different things and Kael is here so I don't want to like, say you can't skip

.>

If you care don't skip
