Do the Durability Draught and pots conflict? Is the durability draught useful while doing endgame stuff?

Is Dancer a difficult job?

faint flare
#

No

#

The easiest job

fringe whale
#

I was told the same thing about red mage haha

open ember
#

Dancer is pretty brainless

faint flare
#

Red mage is straightforward

#

Dancer is Press glowy button

open ember
#

Half of dnc is related to procs

#

If it glows, press it

#

All the ranged physical dps are pretty easy

modest lotus
#

how about scholar ?

open ember
#

Sch is on the harder level

#

Compared to other healers

robust notch
#

Eeh

open ember
#

It relies on you predicting dmg before it happens

robust notch
#

I find Scholar to be pretty braindead during pulls

faint flare
#

Scholar is all about resource management

open ember
#

Its not on the same level of easy as whm

robust notch
#

Target the tank, spam Art of War, use oGCD heals when you have to

#

Boom, you've learned Scholar during pulls in dungeons

open ember
#

That's hard for alot people

#

Esp if they came from only whm

#

Anything is easy so long as you actually try to learn it

#

None of classes in ff14 are hard

agile laurel
#

scholar is proactive rather than reactive

#

reactive sch will get you a lot more awkward situations than whm

#

simply because it doesn't have as much resource to play with

#

however due to the sheer amount of its kit being oGCD it's one of the simplest healers to get high dps uptime on

open ember

#

Hi guys, what does it mean when a gear piece has a blue X on it?

leaden ginkgo
#

can i buy the stormblood dlc on mogstation

hasty musk
#

you can't buy stormblood by itself

raven sage
#

You don't buy expansions on the mogstation. You would have to go to the store for the platform you own the game on

#

And you would need to buy shadowbringers now instead since it comes with stormblood

karmic veldt
#

Blue X, I believe, is usable by you but not on the job you're currently playing.

#

For example, if you have Dark Knight at 80 but you're playing White Mage, then tanking gear will show up with a blue X.

#

As opposed to a red X which indicates you can't currently equip it on any job or on your current gender.

austere vale
#

@karmic veldt Thanks Spooky. Any idea why I am unable to trade these blue X items to the Grand Company?

karmic veldt
#

Depends on what kind of items they are.

#

If they're starter or artifact gear, you won't be able to trade those.

#

Because you can repurchase those at the Calamity Salvager.

austere vale
#

@karmic veldt Should I instead just trade them to a merchant then to get at least something for them?

karmic veldt
#

Perhaps, or if you like the look I'd recommend storing them in your glamour dresser.

#

Depending on what kind of items they are, you might even store them in the wardrobe in your inn room.

#

But that's because I always try to have a few glamours on my characters, so if you're not into that you can always sell or, if the merchant won't take them, discard them.

austere vale
#

I appreciate the response 🙂 @karmic veldt

agile laurel
#

@elder sinew pomanders are obtained within potd

#

the only pots you can buy are ones that give you a regen effect, for potsherds outside the queue up point

#

iirc.

open rivet
#

so, pretty sure it's not the right place, but,
why do people tank phlegetron in labyrinth of the ancients in the center of the arena,
instead of closer to the "start" of the arena (usually Point B)?
It can't be walking duration for the players, since both points are the same distance (A/C aren't at the centerpoints of the circle, but closer to B).
When he's in the center, he instantly starts his castbar for ancient flare, while he has to walk when at the other point.
the walking would give him a clear tell that he's about to cast ancient flare, giving people more time to react.

open ember
#

I mean it doesn't matter where you tank it. Just run back to pads during ancient flare

twilit arch
#

you have plenty of time to react to ancient flare

open ember
#

Yeah

twilit arch
#

that it ultimately doesn't matter.

open rivet
#

I've seen people wipe often enough on it

twilit arch
#

that is far more likely greed

open ember
#

I have as well but you should be paying attention to the enemy cast bar, not whether or not he moved to the center

#

If people are wiping on it then they're not running back to the pad

#

Which is extremely common

#

Ideally, people tank it near marker B but it seriously doesn't matter at all

open rivet
#

kk

fiery falcon
#

Are the US servers as populated as EU servers?

cosmic pilot
#

Iirc there’s a shortcut to enlarge an active window on PS4. Without the need to go to settings. Anyone knows?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

R3 on the active window

cosmic pilot
#

Thanks!

#

How to decrease it’s size/scaling?

#

And can we enlarge skills information window?

open ember
#

Are the US servers as populated as EU servers?
@fiery falcon

To my knowledge they are

#

EU does have 2 less servers than NA tho (and anorher DC)

#

An EU player may have a better answer an i do

fiery falcon
#

I'm an EU player but my two American friends are going to try out the game. And we're kinda unsure if they should stick to NA servers or come to my server

open ember
#

They can most def play on EU with no problem

#

But playing in the evenings may be better for them if they intend to play on EU

glossy flare
#

afaik the NA servers have a higher absolute population (which is kind of easy with one more data center)

#

But EU has a higher density, though both are fine obviously

#

Player numbers really aren't an issue for this game

open ember
#

Yeah

fiery falcon
#

Alright thank you so much 😄

open ember
#

i forgot eu had only 2 DCs I had to fix my answer whoops

leaden ginkgo
#

@fiery falcon US servers are more populated than EU

#

well actually

#

they're around equal

#

but i see more endgame content on na servers

#

otherwise they're more or less equally populated

storm stone
#

How do you set up your chocobro ?

open ember
#

Set up?

#

Do you mean summon your chocobo

storm stone
#

Yes, Free, attack, tanking, heal, follow

open ember
#

Oh they'll attack whatever your attacking

storm stone
#

Mine is low level but i have 2 skills on attack and 1 on healing

open ember
#

When they rank up then they'll do whatever skills you give them

#

Idk much about how to set up the "perfect chocobo" tho

#

I just know that it'll do whatever skills you have it for and it'll attack whatever your attacking regardless

storm stone
#

In any setups ?

open ember
#

I don't wanna give you a bad example because I know very little on chocobo set ups but most of the mentors should know more than I do

#

I have my chocobo set up as a healer but yet again I do not use it often

twilit arch
#

generally the recommended tree is healer, as its by far the most useful

patent citrus
#

yeh, just healer lv 10

twilit arch
#

that said, you could do up to choco regen and then into attack, or go to choco cure and hten attack

#

but for the most part, putting everything into healer is the safest choice

storm stone
#

I unlocked choco regen and then i went on attack

twilit arch
#

as for the stances, its best to just leave it in free stance

zealous flower
#

i started mine out as a tank because i was a healer myself

brave ravine
#

is there a name given for the period of time that you're unable to activate multiple oGCD abilities ?

twilit arch
#

tank 'bo isn't very useful because even as a healer you can pretty easily rip aggro off of them

patent citrus
#

clipping? 🤔

storm stone
#

I'm leveling up a tank atm so i thought i would need more dps since i can heal with one of my skills

glossy flare
#

clipping refers to clipping your gcd though

stark sleet
#

What's an example of a period like that?

twilit arch
#

having healer skills on the chocobo means its can do some what decent healing while you focus on dpsing

patent citrus
#

ooo

#

i thought all kind of stuck is clipping

brave ravine
#

on DRG, abilities like Lance Charge, Dragon Sight, Battle Litany, etc. they cannot be activated at the same time even though they're all oGCDs

twilit arch
#

all skills have an animation delay

brave ravine
#

practically any job w/ multiple oGCDs has the null time

little swift
#

That's just the inherent animation delay

twilit arch
#

which is why you generally can't weave more than 2 skills per weave window

little swift
#

There's next to no animation cancelling

#

In this game

glossy flare
#

DRG does suffer a bit more from that than other jobs actually, at least with some skills

twilit arch
#

yeah, can't double weave with jumps

brave ravine
#

is there an exact amount of time for this animation delay, based on data mining or something? or is it all different because they're all different animations?

twilit arch
#

since those have a fairly length animation

glossy flare
#

the delay depends on the animation

#

So it's hard to say, but also not necessary

storm stone
#

The healing of the chocobo is 20 per 20 for me

glossy flare
#

You can either weave one skill between GCDs or two

#

categorizing them like that is enough

little swift
#

Its about 0.7 seconds on regular abilities and ogcds

#

Jumps are just shy of double that

lavish vortex
#

question, there is a ring from bozjan southern front that gives you 10% exp to level characters outside the front?

little swift
#

Its an earring iirc

#

From 1k appraisals of the lost action fragments

lavish vortex
#

thanks!, where do i find the challenge?

little swift
#

Its under achievements

#

Bozja has its own tab in battle

lavish vortex
#

thanks!

jade thorn
#

Are there any consequences for picking easy mode in a story mode duty?

glossy flare
#

nope, never

jade thorn
#

Wow

#

I’d expect there to be like less exp or something

glossy flare
#

It just buffs your dmg and health regen

#

That's all

open ember
#

Story duties are only for the story

jade thorn
#

That makes sence

open ember
#

Doesn't make you a good or a bad player if you pick easy

#

Because I know I did sometimes lol

stark sleet
#

Sometimes the difficulty is "wow I hope this NPC doesn't stand in too many orange puddles and dies", and it's nice to not have to go through that more than once

jade thorn
#

Also if I upgrade my classes too early will I miss tequniques like in Pokémon

glossy flare
#

No

jade thorn
#

that’s good cuz I’m on my last gladiator mission

glossy flare
#

Each level in your base class results in a level in the advanced job

#

or vice versa, however you wanna view it

little swift
#

You not upgrading your classes is a detriment to your party

#

Because you won't learn important skills

jade thorn
#

cool

#

I just wanted to see if there was any reason to not immediately become a paladin

leaden ginkgo
#

i just got to stormblood, ive seen in content videos theres like this other scratch off that isnt the mgp scratch off but something else, did i miss something or is that going to unlock later

jade thorn
#

Storm blood looks sick because you get samurai

glossy flare
#

Wondrous tails, maybe?

leaden ginkgo
#

yes i think thats it, its like a weekly card i think

glossy flare
#

Then go to idyllshire

#

it's a Heavensward feature

little swift
#

!faq wondroustails

zinc orbitBOT
#
Wondrous Tails

Wondrous Tails are unlocked by speaking to the Unctuous Adventurer for the quest Keeping Up with the Aliapohs in Idyllshire upon reaching level 60 with at least one combat class.

Speaking with Khloe Aliapoh afterwards will give you a journal that has a series of random combat challenges to be completed which award you with a sticker that appears on the right-hand side of the journal. This journal can be accessed from the key items section of your inventory.

Your goal is to try and collect 9 stickers from completing those challenges. The stickers will appear in a random location on the 4x4 grid, but can occasionally align and form a straight line of 4, which can award you with additional rewards. Multiple line orientations are possible, with 3 lines being the most difficult to accomplish. Here is an image that shows how your stickers can be lined up so you can have the highest chance of 3 lines. Use the 'second chance' points you earn from completing content with new players to shuffle your 4x4 board around to try for 3 lines! To view what the possible rewards are for the Wondrous Tails or to see when they reset, use the !wt in #kupo-bot-spam Good luck!

leaden ginkgo
#

thankyou

inland zenith
#

If I already have a resistance weapon, can I get a second one?

glossy flare
#

Yes, just start the quest again with another job

#

all the other ones will cost you 1k poetics for the initial step though

inland zenith
#

ok! Thank you!

dreamy warren
#

I know this isnt necessarily FFXIV related but what are 2 redundant letters in the english alphabet? C is because we have K and S. Is there another?

open coral
#

Y could be called redundant, since i exists.

#

Why would you ask that question here, though?

dreamy warren
#

It's a really circular thought pattern. The link above to Aliapoh's journal combos reminded me of cyphers that can be used in cryptography for D&D. And so then I got to think about how there are only 24 of them, but 26 letters so what letters are redundant.

open coral
#

C, J, and Y could all be considered redundant.

#

But C and J are probably the ones that are left out.

twilit arch
open coral
#

You are correct, of course. 😄

analog zenith
#

any house designers on chaos data centers, hit me up pls

leaden ginkgo
#

The best part about designing a house is doing it though

#

Has anyone done a comparison for the DoL i490 set versus the i470 one?

#

I was trying to figure out how substantial the difference might be

#

Without looking at the skysteel grinds and possibly the higher GP, is the difference that great?

little swift
#

With a fully melded facet set you're still short a bit of stats for some of the legendary node bonuses

#

Having aesthete will make a difference

#

20 ilvls is significant

halcyon sentinel
#

Any higher level tips for playing SCH in dungeons/trials for someone who plays a ton of WHM and AST?

verbal rune
#

Is MCH the only jobs with steam punk/modern like clothes?

little swift
#

The entire neo-ishgardian crafted set is steampunk themed

#

Use dissipation @halcyon sentinel

verbal rune
#

I see, I'll take a look

little swift
#

Just use it its good

#

Having more aetherflow is never bad

faint flare
#

Adlo yourself prepull and deploy off yourself to give the tank a free shield after theirs expires

gritty oracle
#

So for my skysteel +1, I gotta craft 20 HQ of the firs oddly specific item, then for my skysteel +2, I gotta craft 30 HQ of the second?

autumn oriole
#

Yes iirc

little swift
#

Yes that's correct

gritty oracle
#

how does skysung compare to aesthete hq? iirc both are 490

autumn oriole
#

And you still need to craft some collectible-like items for the next upgrades if you want i500

gritty oracle
#

oh okay

little swift
#

Total minimum scrip cost for all 4 steps is 4840 scrips

halcyon sentinel
#

cool! The aetherflow kinda trips me up still. Feels entirely counter to whm or ast. That adlo tip is really good!

little swift
#

Step 1 is augment +1

autumn oriole
#

A fairy a day keeps the doctor away. (From SCH, the fairy eater)

little swift
#

Step 2 is dragonsung

#

Step 3 is dragonsung + 1

patent citrus
#

on the other hand, i'm struggling with leveling my whm lv 38 -_-

little swift
#

Step 4 skysung

patent citrus
#

not sure why but my tank kept dying in temple of qarn

#

seems no burst heal

autumn oriole
#

Relic has a bit higher craftsmanship but lower control

little swift
#

Thats the tank dying to final sting from bees @patent citrus

#

Kill the Damn bees

#

Skysung is a budget melded aesthete

patent citrus
#

the animation makes me uncomfortable..

little swift
#

Its good but if you can afford it aesthete pentamelded is better

patent citrus
#

whm

autumn oriole
#

About 30 less control iirc

silk summit
#

Probably too specific a question, but any advice on how to stairstep my way from full HQ facet (not overmelded) up to HQ Aesthete? I guess I'll probably just need to make some non HQ aesthete to get my stats where they're needed

little swift
autumn oriole
#

Jus buy some aesthete pieces imo

little swift
#

Aesthetr has more of all stats

autumn oriole
#

They are not expensive expensive atm if you server hop

little swift
#

You just cant pentameld@autumn oriole

storm stone
#

What should i do with all these materials and weapons i get from farming mount in extrem on ARR primals ?

gritty oracle
#

won't skysteel tools eventually become better than aesthete tho?

little swift
#

If they add another step yes @gritty oracle

leaden ginkgo
#

i got credits

autumn oriole
#

I’m comparing relic with melded aesthete(the high control version)

gritty oracle
#

thanks!

little swift
#

Ofc pentamelded is better

autumn oriole
#

And it has about 30 less control and 20+ more craftsmanship

little swift
#

Yeah that's obvious if you're putting melds in

silk summit
#

Is there like, a list of the general consensus on the best melds for it? I wanna see if these overmelded pices on the MB are properly done

little swift
#

But on their own a budget melded aesthete is less good than a skysung

#

Depends on what breakpoints you're after @silk summit. #doh-dol-lounge has pins that link to balance suggested melds

autumn oriole
#

Yeah if you want to use aesthetes over relic, better meld it with the best melds possible

silk summit
#

Great, thanks

autumn oriole
#

I personally skipped aesthetes main tools since relics are more futureproof

fiery falcon
#

Can you leave a guild/company if it turns out it's not your cup of tea anyways?

#

is there a penalty?

leaden ginkgo
#

ok

twilit arch
#

there's no penalty in leaving a free company

leaden ginkgo
#

now how fair am i form starting heavenswards i am on the price of principles

remote lintel
#

79 quests

jade thorn
#

So I finished my last guild quest but can’t find the class upgrade quest

#

help

glossy flare
#

You also need to finish the MSQ called "Sylph Management"

#

If you haven't just keep doing the msq

leaden ginkgo
#

cerberus what do you mean 79 quests

remote lintel
#

you have 79 quests to go

leaden ginkgo
#

no

#

i shouldnt have 79 quests left

remote lintel
#

the price of principles is the first quest after ultima weapon

leaden ginkgo
#

thats stupid

little swift
#

After the main base story of every expansion

leaden ginkgo
#

i want dark knight class already

little swift
#

There's a bunch of post patch quests

#

Arr has 80 quests

leaden ginkgo
#

they said they removed a bunch of stuff

radiant summit
#

so I've seen there's bonus windows for the light step of the zodiac weapons

twilit arch
#

they did

#

it used to be 100 quests

radiant summit
#

where do I see what they are?

open ember
#

They removed stuff but its still long

little swift
#

Yeah they pruned down the whole 2.0 to 2.55

leaden ginkgo
#

no

open ember
#

ARR is still longer than any other expansion

leaden ginkgo
#

let me start heavenward now

#

so i can get dark knight

twilit arch
#

no way to see which instances are bonus for the window outside of running the instance @radiant summit

Hello I just recently completed my combat classes. Is there a guide here for basic crafting/gathering. Thanks in advance

remote lintel
radiant summit
#

huh

little swift
#

Complain elsewhere @leaden ginkgo

leaden ginkgo
#

i am party sure its not freaking 79 more quests

little swift
#

It is

glossy flare
#

unless you spend money for a story skip

remote lintel
#

at that point it's kind of a waste

glossy flare
#

true

remote lintel
#

it's like 2 days worth of playing

little swift
#

If story matters to you at all you should play through it

#

Otherwise its up to you

open ember
#

This isn't the channel to complain ya know

little swift
#

Alternatively you could have bought a dark knight job skip

#

And had it right away

leaden ginkgo
#

how do i do that

#

i want dark knight

open ember
#

Pay $25 on the online store

leaden ginkgo
#

i only have 16 dollars

remote lintel
#

do the story

glossy flare
#

tough shit

open ember
#

Nothing we can do other than kinda deal with it and play the story

remote lintel
#

also I wouldn't buy dark knight job skip

#

because the class story is the best

open ember
#

I mean if someone isn't willing to stay for 79 more quests then idk if they would be willing to actually read the story

#

For drk

polar hound
#

bingo.

fiery falcon
#

Can you share an apartment or is it only single owned?

patent citrus
#

single for apartment

gritty oracle
#

Is there a way to "backspace" in Teamcraft if I misclick a skill?

oblique trellis
#

I don't do squadrons as much as I should, and forget half the stuff..why is it telling me "Any inactive chemistry will be lost upon commencement of a mission"

leaden ginkgo
#

Something about being able to lock in new chemistry traits if you want

little swift
#

Click the skill in the skill sequence to remove it

#

@gritty oracle

open rivet
#

do both players need to be present for a marriage to successfully happen?

oblique trellis
#

idr how to do that

twilit arch
#

yes, both players need to be there for the wedding ceremony

autumn oriole
#

You can use the new chemistry to replace their current ones now. But you can also commence a mission and lose the new chemistry if it’s not assigned

radiant summit
#

what's the fastest way to get my zodiac light level up?

twilit arch
#

tam tara normal or ifrit normal are the usual suspects

#

ifrit if you have fast loading times, tam tara if not

autumn oriole
#

If the new chemistry is better than the old one, replace the old one now. Otherwise skip the new chemistry

radiant summit
#

I read somewhere that ifrit normal gives you next to nothing

#

is it still worth it?

twilit arch
#

tam tara and ifrit both give rather low amount, but you can do both quite quickly

#

so they make up for the low amount of light in the fact that you can do several runs in a short time frame

#

like ifrit dies in a few seconds

polar cairn
#

Does anyone play ffxiv at 1440p 144hz with a ryzen 7 3700x?

#

i know thats a bit specific but

radiant summit
fiery falcon
#

Are glamour plates just so that you can change looks without having to go back to the inn?

remote lintel
#

without having to spend glamour prisms

#

and yes

autumn oriole
#

Saving them into whole sets saves you time from clicking and applying each item

fiery falcon
#

I'm pretty sure I got one from a quest a while back (lvl 53 now) but.. I'm not sure how to find it?

faint flare
#

And doing multiple thingd at once, and having different glamours for each job

fiery falcon
#

Should it be in my normal inventory?

remote lintel
#

glamour plates?

autumn oriole
#

And they also remain their dyes in the plate even if you dye the items to other colors later

fiery falcon
#

ah so like, if I want to have my normal glamour set and my bikini set to switch between I'd need two plates?

#

yeah

remote lintel
#

yes

#

glamour plates are on the character window

#

next to gear sets

karmic niche
#

Remember to link the glamour to your class

fiery falcon
#

ooh ok thanks!

#

also, does anyone know where that place is where there's loads of water "ponds" where the girls are bathing / sitting in it?

#

I can't seem to find it 😩

glossy flare
#

Do you have a screenshot?

twilit arch
#

sounds like either southern thanalan at the forgotten springs, or upper la noscea at camp bronze lake

fiery falcon
#

noo but it was kind of like hot springs area if that makes sense

remote lintel
#

that U tribe place in thanalan?

glossy flare
#

I'm not sure how many girls are in the Kugane hot springs

open coral
#

Definitely sounds like Camp Bronze Lake

fiery falcon
#

Yess thanks!! It's upper la noscea at camp bronze lake! @twilit arch

glossy flare
#

could also be that though

remote lintel
#

i just remember being flirted with by a cat girl there

Is the story any good? I like lore and stuff, but I haven't seen anything yet, and NPCS a little too much...

remote lintel
#

what lvl is your msq

polar hound
normal adder
#

I'm still at lv2, haven't progressed much, but I've noticed they talk a lot

polar hound
#

if that tells you anything.

remote lintel
#

so

#

you basically havent done anything

polar hound
#

literally nothing lol

#

it gets so good

remote lintel
#

this is a story based game

#

it will be dialogue heavy

normal adder
#

Oh cool, so the lore is worth it.. That's better than skipping for me

last tapir
#

can you augment lvl 80 class gear?

robust crow
#

story is a huge part of the game

#

everything is locked behind the story

remote lintel
#

its a final fantasy game of course the story is good

polar hound
#

final fantasy title first, mmo second

robust crow
#

do you mean the 430 gear you get for free at the end of ShB? @last tapir

last tapir
#

yea

robust crow
#

you can't augment that gear, but there is an EX trial that drops a 480 version of your class gear

#

no one really does that trial anymore though since 480 is easy to get elsewhere

last tapir
#

can you dye that gear?

remote lintel
#

yes

last tapir
#

oh cool, do you know the trial?

remote lintel
#

memoria misera ex

robust crow
#

^

little swift
#

Its the ex you unlock from doing your shb relic weapon quest

polar hound
#

@normal adder just as a heads up, A realm reborn (base game) is pretty long because they needed a full game to continue dev/funding etc. so it's a LOT of story/character/world building at the start...action starts picking up towards the end of arr and into HW but it's still enjoyable for the first time

#

but if you like lore, this game is chock-full of it..they also have 2 lorebooks out

little swift
#

Most of thw lore doesn't need external sources to fully grasp

#

But are good additions for interest

#

This is unlike say, Star Wars

polar hound
#

^^

hallow grove
#

for the anima relic weapon quest, is it still necessary to collect 70 sand and 70 umbrite?

#

is that what i need to complete the quest asap?

chrome pilot
#

Hello everyone! I have a question, when does this game go on sale usually?

open ember
#

Black Friday

#

Christmas

#

Flash sales

polar hound
#

pretty randomly.

chrome pilot
#

oo I see thanks!

crimson wind
#

estelle, how do you find motivation to level alt characters

little swift
#

60 to 80 umbrite depending on luck @hallow grove

polar hound
#

as a note: steam typically has less sales if that matters to you

remote lintel
#

^

chrome pilot
#

ive heard that u shouldnt get it on steam cause its just troublesome

open ember
#

@crimson wind the drive to play with new people on other DCs and releveling classes is very fun for me. I also enjoy playing the story again

crimson wind
#

ic

open ember
#

Its not for everyone

polar hound
#

plenty of people play on steam just fine but personally i wouldnt

open ember
#

But I have many friends on other DCs so I would still like to play with them

chrome pilot
#

I see

open ember
#

Most of my friends are on Crystal thus they are my drive to level stuff again

elder sinew
#

Why not transfer

remote lintel
#

i like having my alt on the same dc so its not totally isolated

elder sinew
#

I was contemplating playing another character on a different DC to see how they differ, will transfer if the DC turns out better

open ember
#

I have scattered friends on all 3 DCs. So I dont like neglecting them. I also like being accessible on all 3 DCs

elder sinew
#

Ah, well do you lose much if you transfer

#

I guess I need to look up what gets left if you transfer

open ember
#

Exactly. Plus i own a house on Primal now

polar hound
#

not much unless you have housing

#

/fc

open ember
#

Like I said, alts arent for everyone

elder sinew
#

No house, fc I suppose you can find another

#

You lose retainer stuff/money?

polar hound
open ember
#

You lose housing

polar hound
#

you do not lose retainer stuff or money

open ember
#

Also half your friends list may say "unable to retrieve" if you transfer out of that dc

polar hound
#

actually it USED to only let you transfer with 1mil or something.. it is now 999mil gil

open ember
#

Its mostly just housing is what prevents people from transferring

polar hound
#

^^^^

elder sinew
#

Oh that's nice, I did read that they restricted the gil

#

Guess it's changed

open ember
#

I'm locked on Ultros cuz i have a house now so. But I'm very attached to Ultros as a server and even if i didn't have a house it would be very hard for me to transfer

polar hound
#

they changed it like...march or something this year iirc

#

the gil thing

open ember
#

Now its my turn to ask a question

#

What do I do with my 200+ fae fancies?

#

Get materia?

little swift
#

hold onto them so they don't clog your inventory

#

and sell the materia in 5.4

open ember
#

Gotcha

polar hound
#

^^ new raid tier

little swift
#

i have about 600 i know the feel

open ember
#

Should I still do pixies even after i have all classes at 80

little swift
#

each quest only gives 5 allegory

#

but stacking the fancies could be nice

open ember
#

Alrighty thanks Channy

polar hound
#

not terrible for supplemental tomes if you wanna farm as dps per se, also ye the fancies

open ember
#

Coolio ty

tidal yarrow
#

the fae extreme is level 70?

open ember
#

Fae extreme?

#

If you mean Titania

#

She's lv80

#

Normal mode lv73

tidal yarrow

If I want to go in Bozjan with a cross world party, do we need to be on the same world?

lethal cape
#

Hi o/

How do I get gil? 🤔
I have a level 80 WHM and now I'm leveling a BLM, but I don't have gil to buy gear every ~10 levels 😅

slate arrow
#

@lethal cape use Poetics

#

below level 50, use dungeon gear

lethal cape
#

I had around ~1 mil gil, although I never realized that it goes away so fast and now I'm left with 60k lmao

#

I think I bought food

#

Poetics?

slate arrow
#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
mossy tartan
#

How many people (minimum) can I run EX castrum fluminis with?

slate arrow
#

24

lethal cape
#

And I get gil through poetics, right?

slate arrow
#

no

#

You can buy gear with Poetics

lethal cape
#

Ohhh

#

Okay

slate arrow
#

Namely Ironworks, Shire, and Scaevan

mossy tartan
#

I meant ||tsukuyomi’s|| trial (EX)

lethal cape
#

But what about gil itself? o.o

slate arrow
#

Which are all at level cap for the respective content

alpine heath
#

When you have no gear to buy with poetics what should I buy? I hear there's stuff for relics that you buy with poetics

faint flare
#

The text guide has Tldr for using poetics for gil

alpine heath
#

I'm always capped at 2k poetics with nothing to buy

slate arrow
#

@lethal cape you don't :d

lethal cape
#

@lethal cape you don't :d
I... Don't make gil?

slate arrow
#

gil is virtually worthless as a resource since it's only use is to skip the grind

#

everything you can get without needing gil

lethal cape
#

O

#

Fair enough o.o

slate arrow
#

And on top of gil being worthless, it's almost impossible to get large amounts of now without the marketboard, since the Collectible rework.

#

The fastest way to make gil is to do stuff like the Domain Restoration and also doing Adventurer In Need roulettes

open ember
#

@ripe hound no it shouldn't matter

elder sinew
#

Is frontline or Normal roulette any good for xp at lvl 69+?

#

Or just stick to trials/leveling/567/alliance/msq

twilit arch
#

50-70 roulette is not good for exp

#

frontline is pretty decent exp tho, normal raids is ok but not amazing. usually its quick enough tho

elder sinew
#

Ah, thought frontline was just pvp xp

#

Yea it only shows the red xp icon

twilit arch
#

nope, it gives normal exp as well. better exp given when you win

elder sinew
#

Nice

#

How do you set up the PvP hotbar in open world

#

Or you have to go to wolves den somehwere

faint flare
#

Go to the wolves den

elder sinew
#

Figures

faint flare
#

And its changed to your pvp set up

elder sinew
#

Dont even know where it is lol

faint flare
#

You should have attuned to it. Under limsas ports

twilit arch
#

lower la noscea if you don't have the aetheryte

elder sinew
#

Nice

#

TP it is

crimson wind
#

So I'm having an issue with MCH. I'm pressing Overcharge in the 2nd OGCD slot, and i can tell I'm not clipping at all, yet I'm only getting 4 Heat Blasts

fiery falcon
#

can you die from fall damage?

twilit arch
#

only if you've got aggro on something

little swift
#

@mossy tartan not sure if anyone has answered your question but unsynced 3 is minimum

robust notch
#

@crimson wind What are you weaving between your Heat Blasts?

crimson wind
#

gauss/ricochet ofc

robust notch
#

Not both at the same time I hope

#

Heat Blast is 1.5s, so it doesn't allow double weaving

last kayak
#

How should I go about getting the basic ilvl requirement for completing the Role quests in ShB? Can I just buy a cheap set of lvl 80 gear or something?

crimson wind
#

Ofc I'm.not double weaving

faint flare
#

Dungeon and story gear should be enough for role quests

#

They're not that demanding

robust notch
#

If you're not double weaving, and you're sure that you're only doing 4 Heat Blasts, then it's either your ping, the game is broken, or you suck at counting.

faint flare
#

Cause they give you access to the i430 gear

last kayak
#

I've finished the main story, but I think I got gear for other roles. My ilvl as an MCH80 is only 368. Which is clearly not enough to finish this quest as I just found out.

faint flare
#

Did you get like nothing from dungeons

#

Cause thats really low

robust notch
#

Level 70 gear is 400 iLvl, so yeah... that's too low

faint flare
#

At 70 you're i400 minimum

#

With scaevan

last kayak
#

hmm, well my DRK is the character I did all the quests with, and they are only ilvl 421 at lvl 80 using the gear I got from questing

robust notch
#

But how did you level your Machinist to 80 with that iLvl?

last kayak
#

dailies

faint flare
#

Probably bojza

#

And dailies

robust notch
#

Because that iLvl would be shocking on a level 70, let alone 80

last kayak
#

nah, have never been in bojza

robust notch
#

Doing dailies with that gear.. yeah you need to upgrade asap

faint flare
#

Cause that ilvl is way to low even do to Shadowbringers dungeons

robust notch
#

How much money do you have?

faint flare
#

With your DRK at 80, just go farm eden for gear

last kayak
#

what is eden?

faint flare
#

And trade the tokens for MCh gear

#

The 8man raids for 80

robust notch
#

Doing Eden with 420 iLvl is kinda.....

faint flare
#

Eden gate is minimum 425

robust notch
#

Sounds to me like he needs to buy Neo-Ishgardian or something like that

#

He's 421.

#

And farming Eden's Gate is a massive waste of time.

#

He'll farm for a few hours for gear that's pretty much useless anyways

faint flare
#

Its the gil free way if he doesn't have money for neo

brave ravine
#

to bozja!

robust notch
#

Which is why I asked, how much money do you have? @last kayak

last kayak
#

like 2mil

obsidian patio
#

You can definitely buy a full set of neo-Ishgardian

robust notch
#

You can afford a 480 iLvl set easily

#

You're on Primal... Let me check

#

Which world?

last kayak
#

levi

#

my DRK and BLM are similarly geared, but they didn't have any issues finishing their role quests y_y

obsidian patio
#

Because they actually have SHB gear :p

robust notch
#

Yeah, I'd guess a full Neo-Ishgardian set would cost you around 500k for all slots

last kayak
#

I mean the DRK does now that the role quest is done. They were in similar ilvl too.

#

arright I'll throw money at the problem. Thanks

#

wasnt sure if there was just a "fresh lvl 80 white gear vendor" like there was at lvl 70

robust notch
#

But remember that the pieces need to be High Quality

open ember
#

There's deepshadow and crystatrium gear

#

But those are the only lv80 tome gear rn

robust notch
#

The prices will be outdated

last kayak
#

poetics?

open ember
#

You should be aiming for Crystatrium gear

robust notch
#

but they're a good reference to go by

open ember
#

No there's no poetics vendor

obsidian patio
#

Phantasmagoria and Allegory

open ember
#

In shb

#

Not yet anyway

hazy shadow
#

You use phantasmagorias

last kayak
#

ty

robust notch
open ember
#

Bottom two

#

Listed in the image

robust notch
#

Middle one is for Deepshadow (460-470)

#

Bottom one is for Crystarium (490-500)

last kayak
#

also this is a cool tool, have been world-hopping like a newb apparently

hazy shadow
#

If you have hq ishgard, just trade those in for augmented tbh I think

robust notch
#

It does help out a lot, yeah ^^

#

That still costs you 500 Phantasmagoria per piece upgrade

open ember
#

Ah yes you can use phantasmagoria to Augment nri ishgard stuff

#

So its 3000 phantasmagoria to Augment all the gear

hazy shadow
#

It isn't 500 phantas per piece

open ember
#

And don't get neo ishgard weapon

#

I don't remember I just know its more than 2000 to augment the whole set

hazy shadow
#

700 weapon

#

500 chest

open ember
#

I just buy like 20 undersea rain lol

#

Weapon is useless

#

Go for relic weapon

hazy shadow
#

Everything else iirc is 300

open ember
#

There's absolutely no reason why you should be buying a neo ishgard weapon at the ease if getting a relic weapon is literally 1000 poetics

robust notch
#

If you plan on maining MCH, I'd say get Neo-Ishgardian armour and accessories, then look up how to obtain the SHB Relic Weapon

#

If it's more of a side job, go with Deepshadow

last kayak
#

hmm these prices do not appear to be very reliable..

hazy shadow
#

It is based off of server I believe

last kayak
#

thats what I mean. It says excalibur has the pants for ~36k, but the cheapest they have is like ~120k

robust notch
#

Universalis basically grabs a snapshot of the prices

#

Look at when it was last updated

#

I never said it was accurate, just that it's a good baseline to go off of

last kayak
#

I see.

obsidian patio
#

Universalis relies on players using the plug-in for it to grab the prices

robust notch
#

So if the world you're on has high prices and not around the 30-50k mark, hop to another world

crimson wind
#

@obsidian patio how do you weave gauss after heat blast on controller

obsidian patio
#

Spam the button like hell while you press heat blast

crimson wind

that's what I'm doing

obsidian patio

It’s a delicate state of spamming

leaden ginkgo
#

You just press it

#

Having them in a good spot is pretty important

obsidian patio
#

Yeah I have them right by each other

leaden ginkgo

Yeah I have them on the same button but different triggers

#

Ricochet and gauss, makes it nice and easy

is there a default keybind to focus target on PC?

and is a focus target just a soft target? (Have mob targeted attacking, focus party member to heal then can go back to mob without clicking again?)

#

ok found the keybind, still dunno the 2nd question

faint flare
#

Focus target isn't a soft target

#

It shows their HP, cast and some buff/debuffs regardless who you're targetting

#

Even if they jump away most the time

#

You can click the focus target info to target that thing again

wintry chasm
#

Are there big gil sinks in the game besides housing and glam?
ARR and IIRC HW beast tribes have mounts you can get with Gil, 120k each and generally there are some vendor items that can be super expensive

#

The ARR relics will also eat up Gil

leaden ginkgo

Can someone plz tell me how to raise your trust npcs level? They're 71

Shisui of the Violet Tides

tacit atlas

They clearly meant the sushi dungeon

soft tundra
#

Its technically optional, but you have to do it for an aether current piece for that area so you should do it anyway regardless

open ember
#

It's a optional dungeon but required for Ruby Sea aethercurrents

tacit atlas
#

Also it's a sidequest dungeon so you might not have it

open ember
#

So you do it anyway

gritty oracle

does the Plush Pile have something against counter placement floating? I've tried three separate times to float it on a hingan desk along with two bunnies and a stuffed fox. Bunnies and fox float perfectly, but the plush pile keeps falling when I exit and enter my house. Could it be the problem that part of its hitbox hands off the hingan desk I'm using?

tacit atlas
#

Did you try rotating it before you went out of your house?

gritty oracle
#

I'm not using the wooden loft float, I'm using the counter placement glitch

#

plus the other two items float perfectly.

wheat plume
#

I have black chocobo, how can I fly in Sea of Clouds? How to use aether current?

glossy flare
#

You should have gotten a compass, it's in the quest items tab of your inventory

wheat plume
#

I have it

faint flare
#

You collect all aether currents in the zone

glossy flare
#

If you use it, it will tell you approximate distance and direction to the next aether current

faint flare
#

Most are in the field, found via compass

glossy flare
#

You need all of them for each zone

faint flare
#

Rest are quests, blue quests

#

With the last via msq

glossy flare
#

For Sea of Clouds specifically though there are some in a part of it that is not accessible to you yet

wheat plume
#

so I go to all places the compass indicates in a zone and the I can fly? Thanks.

glossy flare
#

You will return to Sea of Clouds later in the storyline

slate arrow
#

No

#

You also need some sidequests

faint flare
#

You need the quest currents as well

glossy flare
#

The compass currents are only half of it

#

You can review your progress under travel -> aether currents

faint flare
#

You basically need to finish the story of the zone before you're able to fly

#

If you're vigilant in collecting field currents and quest ones

wheat plume
#

ok, so do every sidequest and complete compass to unlock flying in a zone. Thanks

faint flare
#

Blue quests

glossy flare
#

only bluequest can reward currents, not the regular sidequest

tacit atlas
#

Just blue sidequests

wheat plume
#

only bluequest can reward currents, not the regular sidequest
@glossy flare ok, thxs

glossy flare
#

And one current always comes via msq

wheat plume
#

I got black chocobo and compass yesterday. And I dont remember the game telling me I should use compass. (only Harchefant told me was to use the black chocobo to fly).
Did I miss the indication (I wanna know, to try not to miss future features more carefully), or it just didnt was in any dialogue?

slate arrow
#

It's a result of the old system

stark yew
#

its a little spotty in the dialogue if I recall but the compass is hyper important

slate arrow
#

Back then you needed an additional quest to unlock flight for the company chocobo

wintry chasm
#

Basically you use the compass in an area and it'll tell you general distance and direction to the nearest aether current

stark yew
#

and is wise to have on an easily reachable hotbar if possible because you are almost certain to be hitting it aplenty to find the currents

twilit arch
#
You have obtained a black chocobo! When riding this mount, you will have the ability to fly, provided certain conditions have been met.
To fly in a given region, you must first find and attune to all the local aether currents.
In order to attune to some aether currents, you will need to complete certain quests. However, most can be discovered via exploration.
To aid you in this endeavor, you have also obtained an aether compass, which will provide you with both the bearing and the distance to the nearest aether current upon use.
Should you lose this compass, you may speak with Gibrillont at the Forgotten Knight to obtain another.
To review your progress, select Travel from the main menu, followed by Aether Currents. ```

it was in a system info box that pops up after you finish the msq that gives you the black chocobo

wheat plume
#

LOL, with my first aether current, it showed an indication/tutorial to how to get more of them, but it only lasted 2 seconds and then disappeared.

Thanxs guys for the advises

ebon willow
#

Silly question but how do I start the bozjan southern front quest?

twilit arch
#

"Where Eagles Nest" is the unlock quest, however it requires you to have completed the main scenario quest "Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty" before you can pick it up in Gangos

ebon willow
#

What dungeons are those? Stormblood?

glossy flare
#

None of that is a dungeon

obsidian patio
#

Vows of Virtue is after the MSQ dungeon Anamnesis Anyder

#

So if you don’t have that unlocked you need to do more story

ebon willow
#

Then I did it since I finished all the expansion

bold notch
#

Im new, and picked Thaumaturge going for BLM. Im level 20, and doing all quests in the maps beore i jump on an air ship. Im doing thaumatarge mage guid quests, but I see a blue quest with a + next to it for pugilist. Should i do those quests too?

obsidian patio
#

Only if you want to

twilit arch
#

Then the unlock quest should be in Gangos from Marsak

obsidian patio
#

Other classes are completely optional to unlock

faint flare
#

Those unlock other jobs

twilit arch
#

also vows is 5.1, anamnesis is 5.2

ebon willow
#

Alright let me look for that

#

@obsidian patio @faint flare ok, so I can safely ignore for now since im just starting and focusing on 1 job? (BLM is the job right?

Yes

So I bought The Far Edge of Fate Soundtrack for my girlfriend for her birthday. (She has always wanted the Nidhogg minion) I bought it from the official NA site and it just arrived. I opened it and outside of a bit of the packaging it is all in Japanese. I looked at the product and it mentions nothing of the minion code that I can tell. Did they send me the right product and does it still come with the code for the Nidhogg minion? The NA site has a confusing line on it mentioning something about first print

#

(I also don't want to open it for two reasons. One being if they sent me the wrong item I can get it replaced, and two being I want her to open it)

twilit arch
#

it should have the minion code, afaik

foggy flame
#

Is it normal for it to be in all JP?

twilit arch
#

yes, its an imported JP cd

foggy flame

Will the code still work then for an NA account?

twilit arch

yes, the code isn't region locked at all

I have a question: why would someone do a level 80 dungeon daily roulette, if the award is less than most of lvl 80 dungeons? Is there something I’m missing?

leaden ginkgo
twilit arch
#

you're getting the reward of the roulette PLUS what the dungeon gives

obsidian patio
#

It’s good for phantasmagoria

lavish vortex
#

Oh really?!!

twilit arch
#

Yes

#

so like for instance expert roulette is 90 allegory total

lavish vortex
#

So if the dungeon I’m thrown at gives 50 allegory tomestones, I get 90 in total?

twilit arch
#

50 from dungeon, 40 from roulette

lavish vortex
#

Nice! Thanks!

#

Will I miss out on certain levels of levequests if I skip some? Like will I be able to go straight to level 20 quests if I have only completed level 10?

remote lintel
#

yes you can

twilit arch
#

yes, what matters is whether you have the appropriate levemete unlocked

#

since each levemete is a different level range

#

that said you do need to do the initial leve quest unlock

#

which is at the adventurer's guild of your starting city

mellow dirge
#

ok thank god

proven sparrow
#

is there free character transfer for congested worlds?

faint flare
#

Only if you transfer from Congested to preferred

proven sparrow
#

is congested just anything with closed character creation?>

twilit arch
#

No

#

congested worlds are completely locked to both character creation and world transfers

proven sparrow
#

ah alright

faint flare
#

And it stays locked until SE changes it

twilit arch
#

worlds that are currently locked to character creation, and not listed as congested on the world status page, are temporarily so

#

and the lock is lifted whenever enough people log off

does converting gear to materia not destroy the gear any more? I see an 'Extract Materia' option for this old Shire equipment instead of 'Convert'...

yep

That's correct, the spiritbinding just resets

last kayak

thanks

mellow dirge
#

is there a way to track DPS in-game?

faint flare
#

Not in game

#

You need a third party program for it

mellow dirge
#

damn so just hope for the best? lol

agile laurel
#

mmhm. try to do the best you can do

remote lintel
#

or download ACT if youre not on ps4

verify it with theorycrafting sources if you like

and then just uh, hope your team doesn't suck ass

lol I'm certain I'm at the bottom of the list

Hello. Im new here and just picked up red mage yesterday and was looking for some beginner tips

Your dots do a good amount of lifting but since they're slow you dont notice much

fervent anvil
#

Tyvm for that guide

mellow dirge
#

its nice that I can front load damage a bunch, but towards the end of fights it falls off a ton

#

esp when there are many low health mobs and I have no reliable instant nuke

faint flare
#

Yeah Arcanist/summoner revolves around burst phases

wanton sky
#

hey im new i need help with this quest i cant take it cuz it says i need to have done bowl of embers, the navel, and Howling eye in hard mode but i dont see them in my duty finder

faint flare
#

Prior to Demis you only havr your filler phase

#

You need to unlock them

mellow dirge
#

thats fine, kinda just feels bad at the moment spamming Ruin

faint flare
#

You unlock them by doing the quest in the waking sands "a Recurring problem"

#

Yeaaah the ruin spam lasts until like 60/70...then you get Trances and demi

#

Though you donget Ifirit at 30

#

Who is your single target pet

#

And very good

mellow dirge
#

pre-level 18 was absolutely brutal

agile laurel
#

and even past 70 it's still ruin spam in filler-time

titan is not bad

please stop saying that

hi, may i ask how much 180 days Subscription cost?

Subscription Prices
mellow dirge
#

can someone explain the aetherflow effect?

#

does it actually do anything?

faint flare
#

You need aetherflow to use fester

twilit arch
#

aetherflow is what lets you use fester/painflare

faint flare
#

Gained by energy drain

sage sapphire
#

wait how can 180 cost less than 30!!

faint flare
#

Because bulk buying

sleek roost
#

That's the per month cost

faint flare
#

Bulk buying generally have some discount

twilit arch
#

180 days is 77.94$ total

mellow dirge
#

whats the diff between aetherflow 1 and 2

twilit arch
#

per month it comes out to 12.99

faint flare
#

Its cheaper per month but you pay upfront

#

No difference

#

That buff just shows you your stacks

sage sapphire
#

okay thanks now i get it ^^

faint flare
#

Aetherflow 1 means you have 1 stack

mellow dirge
#

oh ok, do I ever get more than 2 charges?

faint flare
#

No

mellow dirge
#

and energy drain always gives 2 right?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Same with its aoe version Energy siphon

mellow dirge
#

painflare is a summoner only ability?

agile laurel
#

yes

faint flare
#

Yes

#

At 52

agile laurel
#

aetherflow is an odd exception as it's tracked as a gauge AND a buff effect

#

so the buff only displays what your gauge does

mellow dirge
#

seems kind of elaborate for a resource that only 2 abilities use

faint flare
#

Its the same for scholars aetherflow so just consistency i guess

agile laurel
#

plus aetherflow used to require a little more tracking

faint flare
#

But you kinda want to see Scholars aetherflow buff when you're another healer with a scholar

mellow dirge
#

ah got it, I have basically no knowledge of game history

#

I played once before for a very short time, then learned you had to level multiple classes to get your main class and quickly lost interest

agile laurel
#

sounds like crossclass skills

#

those're dead

#

dw

mellow dirge
#

thank god

agile laurel
#

there's a few odd relics of older class function in the game still

#

but it is what it is

mellow dirge
#

is power scaling roughly linear? or is it exponential with each expansion like WoW?

agile laurel
#

hm

remote lintel
#

idk what you mean by exponential so i'm assuming linear

agile laurel
#

i'd have to go for a broadly on different terms

remote lintel
#

each expansion adds like 130 ilvls

leaden ginkgo
#

It's linear

#

They don't multiply with levels, which means devs acutally test the numbers

agile laurel
#

ff is helped by no borrowed power mechs so progression is much more predictable

mellow dirge
#

what I mean is like in WoW there is an enormous difference between a level 60 and a level 61 character

agile laurel
#

nah.

mellow dirge
#

ok cool

faint flare
#

Level doesn't mean much

mellow dirge
#

that never made any sense to me

faint flare
#

Its more gear

remote lintel
#

^

#

levels basically just let you equip better gear

#

which is what makes you stronger

wanton sky
#

i did a requiring problem still dont have the dutys

faint flare
#

Its a whole quest chain

#

Do the follow ups

#

It leads you to each one

#

Then you do that to unlock the next

faint flare
#

No

lavish vortex
#

So, what does rank affect?

slate arrow
#

lost action drops

faint flare
#

Holster size, quest requirements, access to parts of the map and what fragments you can appraise

slate arrow
#

how many zones you can go to

#

participation in the Castrum CE

faint flare
#

You need rank 15 to appraise all fragments

agile laurel
#

bozja differs from eureka in that rank doesn't directly affect player power

#

which isn't a bad take honestly

whats the use in Shuriken Ninjitsu if you have Raiton?

!action Ten Chi Jin

zinc orbitBOT

**Ten Chi Jin** : lvl 70 NIN (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Temporarily converts each of the three mudra into a ninjutsu action. Executing one of these actions will convert the remaining mudra into different ninjutsu actions until all three have been executed or the Ten Chi Jin effect expires.
Duration: 6s
Only ninjutsu available while active. The same ninjutsu cannot be executed twice.
Cannot be executed while under the effect of Kassatsu. Effect ends upon moving.

#

You don't really use Fuma Shuriken just on its own once you have access to Raiton/Katon.

#

Ten-Chi-Jin is pretty much the only time you'll ever end up using it.

Hello again. So what exactly do people mean as a red mage by "weaving"?

faint flare
#

Using off globals after the dualcasted spell

#

!faq weaving

zinc orbitBOT
#
Quick guide to weaving/clipping

Click the image, then 'Open original'

faint flare
#

Its a core skill

#

To learn

fervent anvil
#

Tyvm for telling me that

#

I wasnt sure what people were talking about

open coral
#

I wouldn't call it a skill so much as a meta technique.

#

It is incredibly useful to know how to utilize it though.

fervent anvil
#

Yeah ill have to watch a video and see somoen actually doing it

open coral
#

Slidecasting is another useful meta technique.

fervent anvil
#

Ive never heard of that one

faint flare
#

Example of weaving

Dualcasted thunder/aero > Weave Fleche and Contre

open coral
#

Slidecasting basically is a way to take advantage of server ticks to move before your cast bar finishes..

faint flare
#

You can use off global abilities while waiting for the global cooldown to come back

fervent anvil
#

Oh so basically the stuff that I'm supposed to use whenever it's up I use it right after doing my main combo stuff in between so that it doesn't interrupt the flow basically right?

open coral
#

You appear locked in the animation for the cast, even as you move. Thus the name "slide cast"

faint flare
#

You use your off globals on cooldown after a dualcasted spell

open coral
#

^

faint flare
#

If you try to use it without a instant cast spell, you clip and delay your next GCD

fervent anvil
#

Oh i gotcha

faint flare
#

So going Jolt > Acceleration will clip you

open coral
#

Weaving is pretty simple once you understand the theory behind maximizing your rotation.

faint flare
#

As you delay the GCD

#

Due to animation lock

#

And clipping is VERY bad

fervent anvil
#

Thx for the info guys this is really helpful to know

lone nacelle
#

is there any difference visually between normal and hq crafted weapons/glams?

faint flare
#

No

agile laurel
#

rdm is really a crash course in weaving due to the nature of dualcast

open coral
#

Yeah, RDM is like the weaving class. I don't think even MCH has more weaves, and they've got a lot too.
