just dont wanna run OOM 😛
manic flare
also WHM is quite a dps heavy healer
glossy flare
Healers have piety for a reason
manic flare
WHM has an excellent AOE spell
glossy flare
Also use lucid dreaming on cd
bleak lake
Cool thx
faint flare
Whm has infinite mana so
manic flare
WHM can do a ton of damage
faint flare
Not an issue
alpine heath
WHM: Oh I need to do DPS?
Everyone: cracks fingers
manic flare
@faint flare really i find i always run out of mana as WHM, but never as an AST
faint flare
Lucid more
patent citrus
what level?
manic flare
whm is 69, ast is 54
faint flare
And prioritize off globals alot more
patent citrus
i remember before level 50, i always ran out of mp
and once i got ironworks, it's fine
manic flare
does gravity have more range than holy?
faint flare
Unlesd you're forgetting lucid
open coral
Holy is caster-centered though.
glossy flare
Since I'm a sucker for terminology, that is radius not range
open coral
Gravity is at-range
glossy flare
holy technically has a range of 0
bleak lake
yeha need to start learn to use more of my skills hehe
manic flare
@bleak lake are you doing the class quests?
patent citrus
oo i get it, nvm
bleak lake
hm yes when they show up!
manic flare
the WHM class quests forces u to do damage
whm is quite a dps heavy class
whereas scholar is not
i think astrologian is in between
oblique trellis
Scholar totally DPS class, that's why we have a fairy to do all our heals 😄
patent citrus
oo really? sch isnt? haha
oblique trellis
I mean, they can do that
bleak lake
So skills like Swiftcast, Present of mind, Surecast.. are those important?
glossy flare
sch still casts plenty of dps skills
wintry chasm
So skills like Swiftcast, Present of mind, Surecast.. are those important?
100000000000000%
glossy flare
Yes, all of them are important
oblique trellis
but we also have energy drain, bio, broil, miasma
bleak lake
I need more buttons on my keyboard lol
oblique trellis
(and that's only me at 56)
glossy flare
All jobs eventually need 3 hotbars at minimum
They don't fill those hotbars completely
But still
oblique trellis
oh and Art of War, how could I forget that
lone nacelle
@bleak lake remember you can set up modifiers for keybinds, so hotbar 1 can be 12 keys, hotbar 2 can be shift+same 12 keys
oblique trellis
To me AST seems the least DPSy of the healers
bleak lake
ah, true!

But it is pretty meme-y too
twilit arch
pretty much all worlds are fairly populated
manic flare
how often does the dragonskin map give you the dungeon to aquapolis?
glossy flare
All of them are well populated if that's what you're worried about
Plus, all major activites are cross data center anyway
oblique trellis
Is there a general food good for leveling I can buy from a Vendor, or just whatever I have on hand since they're all +exp
glossy flare
the xp boost is the same with all food
And stats don't matter much before level cap anyway
So use whatever is cheap?
twilit arch
just use whatever. most people go with like boiled egg since those are cheap
lone nacelle
@manic flare i dont think theres official data or numbers out there specifically
but from personal experience its like 50%

so to check i understand dps conflag - you literally just start at (east? iirc?) as a stack of dps and scoot to (north?) when lines form on you?

no

like casters bringing ARR 1h-offhand weapons because the stats sync up interestingly

@agile laurel depends on the strat
manic flare
@agile laurel is that an exploit, then?
manic flare
since those with offhand weapons get a boost

not really an exploit since the stats are fixed
gentle grail
is there a album or such with all relic weapons for all jobs?
manic flare
what are the casters that can equip offhand?
manic flare
and blaack mage?
little swift
you can probably find those on google/youtube @gentle grail badwolffy and desperius do compilations
raw solstice
the value of using one-handed weapon + shield in bozja is basically nonexistent though, to note
you gain a tiny bit of block rate (which can only occur when you're not casting), for tiny mitigation. Which basically amounts to nothing. And you actually lose a tiny bit of substat due to rounding, but again negligible
little swift
just SHB relic

No

I realize this is a FFXIV server so this might be a bad question, but for those of you who played WoW: How does savage content compare to WoW Heroic/Mythic? Is it closer to Mythic or Hard?
little swift
Different content tbh
We don't have hard dungeons here
And fights in this game are more like a dance
You learn the steps and execute it as precisely as you can
leaden ginkgo
Meant to write heroic not hard whoops.

cedar compass
How long do you think ShB takes if you skip everything and get helped with a flying mount etc?
I mean Shadowbringers only, not the expansions before
chilly briar
Couple hours
rigid narwhal
takes like... 6hrs
did it recently
minus the flying mount
slowest part is queue times
for dungeons/etc
cedar compass
Ah I have healer and tank to carry my friend
He just doesn't care about story so for the story skip but still need to do ShB
open ember
I hope he knows... Mechanics
People are gonna expect that you know what you're doing in SHB
Since that's when your sprout comes off
glossy flare
You can still have the sprout status in ShB if you lack the required hours
So it's not that bad I guess? But still
Know your shit
open ember
Well most people who have sprout status in shb usually indicate its an alt
Or well most of the time
Tho it's pretty easy to tell who story skipped in SHB nowadays
cedar compass
He's a hardcore raider in wow
So not an issue
In normal content you just uh
Get our of the red circles
robust notch
Stack markers? Enumeration? Tank cleaves, busters?
It's definitely more than "get out of the red circles"
cedar compass
Well we are leveling him via dungeons so
It's the same as someone playing the game
stable adder
not rly
robust notch
Just don't let the "He's a hardcore raider in another game" go to your heads. At the end of the day, this is an entirely different game.
cedar compass
I play both and it's mostly the same
Anyway
No level boost
So leveling via dungeons
small marsh
expect me to not know what im doing even after i played through the MSQ all the way to SHB
kek
cedar compass
So yeah, he will know the mechanics.
small marsh
no level skip here just genuinely oblivious
leaden ginkgo
Can confirm this game has a reptitive pattern of reused visual effects you can take into a lot of things
There are some not-so-mainstream marker changes but they're too far back to matter
leaden ginkgo
They'll be fine

Idk why people always argue about this
The game is not hard at all excluding savage just a lot of extremely casual ppl play it

rain crater
Hey, do I need to complete void ark raids to progress dragonsong war msq ? same way like I needed crystal tower to progress RR ?
gritty oracle
No you don't
it's all optional
that being said, it's amazing story and gives very good glam, so I recommend you do it.
rain crater
Ye since it's optional I'm going to skip it until I hit 80
gritty oracle
Just sit in queue while you go about your business, queue will likely be long because everyone's doing either crystal tower or ivalice
open ember
Still fun to do anyway
rain crater
I'm already lvl 64 and just starting dragonsong wars
gritty oracle
you're gonna be synced anyways so it doesn't matter when you do it
rain crater
pissing me off that I'm constatly overleveled
open ember
I would just unlock them regardless
gritty oracle
you could unlock other jobs and level them nside by side. Like, do a couple quests on this class, swich, continue the msq on it
rain crater
Ye but I would get more xp based on level difference between my highest lvl main and an alt
right ?
while leveling an alt ofc
faint flare
Armoury bonus yes
zealous flower
the way i do it is main WHM for dungeons and instanced stuff and NIN for solo
faint flare
100% bonus xp for jobs under lv70
zealous flower
solo fights go faster and are more interesting with DPS, faster queues with healer
faint flare
50% for 71-79
zealous flower
have to do some light leveling when one falls behind from the MSQ level
but like one or two roulettes and doing the flying quests + map exploration is usually enough
storm stone
Does anyone cleared all the quests of this game ?
twilit arch
i mean, its not really that crazy
especially if you've been playing the game since ARR
glossy flare
Yeah, fair enough
twilit arch
but yes i've pretty much cleared most quests
zealous flower
also you can do it bit by bit since you're by definition getting all classes to 80
rain crater
Do my main need to be lvl 80 for the armoury bonus tho
twilit arch
no
faint flare
No
rain crater
or is it based on level difference
twilit arch
armoury bonus applies whenever you're on a job below your current highest
rain crater
oh
glossy flare
Even if your highest job is, let's say, lvl 56 then all your other jobs receive the full bonus as long as they are lvl 55 or lower
rain crater
thanks
manic flare
why is it that when i challenge npcs in triple triad in ishgard they refuse?
do i have to unlock something beforehand
dawn yarrow
hey i've just cleared ARR 2.0 story for the first time.
before i press thru the 2.x content towards HW are there any particularly useful or interesting things to do?
for example i found a bunch of quests in Mor Dhona to unlock hardmode dungeons - should i worry about this kind of stuff or just sail past it?
thanks in advance!
faint flare
Crystal tower (legacy of Allag quest line in mor dhona ) and hard mode primals (a Recurring problem line in waking sands) are required to access heavensward so you should do them at some poiny
Pick up ironworks gear, especially weapon in mor dhona or sundry splenders in maim cities
boreal storm
Hard dungeons are really only important if you’re going for relic weapons, free poetics are nice tho
verbal rune
Also you can use poetichs to acquire augmented iron work stuff
dawn yarrow
fantastic, thanks all of you!
i kinda figured i could ignore poetics since i'd level past their usefulness - their only value is for glamours now right?
glossy flare
No
faint flare
They get you the best gear at lv50/60/70
glossy flare
Just for reference, the lvl 50 poetics gear will be better than what you can get up to around lvl 55
dawn yarrow
very much appreciated, thanks a lot for the advice!
verbal rune
And reaching lvl 55 takes a lot of time
obsidian patio
@manic flare most likely story requirements to unlock them, possibly a sidequest or two
You can use this site to see the quests you need to complete for each NPC

So what is there worth doing in patch 5.35 with the free-login campaign

Entirely depends on how far your character was when you stopped playing

Pretty far, though just short of ilvl 500 gear
leaden ginkgo
Hi there, I juste started the game days ago. I'm a french player, and i'm a bit lost now. I just reached lvl 50, and now I would like to have poetics to offer me the new stuff. Any tips for that ? I figure out that duty finder gave me those currency, but I need a lot to have the full stuff.
hasty musk
do your roulettes
obsidian patio
Main Scenario Roulette gives 500-600 of it once a day
Level 50/60/70 roulette and Alliance Raid Roulette are also good daily sources
boreal storm
Do new dungeons, and you’ll get bonus poetics
faint flare
Do some of the side dungeons and crystal tower, you'll get bonus poetics since you haven't done them yet
Plus unlocks more roulettes
leaden ginkgo
Lvl 50 dungeons ?
open ember
Crystal Tower raids are 24 man alliance raids
Thet give out poetics upon first time completion
When you finish crystal tower raid series (3 raids) then you unlock alliance raid roulette
Which also grants poetics
acoustic copper
poetics are a grind, it's gonna take time to get enough to get what you need
it's a lot easier to get them now than before but it's still a time investment
obsidian patio
Yeah, there’s a ton of level 50 dungeons to unlock in Mor Dhona
acoustic copper
^^^
obsidian patio
Each one giving the first-time completion bonus of 100 poetics
acoustic copper
when you get further in the game there'll be more ways to get poetics but I think at lv 50 those are your only options
I could be wrong though
verbal rune
Yeah, by doing only lvl 50 dungeon I got the whole augmented iron work set
Since first time clear bonus and all
leaden ginkgo
Ok, my second question is : Is it worth it to farm those poetics to have the stuff I want ? Or the MSQ will give me enough stuff to continue my leveling phase
formal dust
Why is it recommended to get all DoL/DoH to at least 15?
verbal rune
Augmented Iron works is good until lvl 55
faint flare
The story will give you some stuff but ironworks is a massive increase and lasts a long timr
Story gives you the bare minimum
obsidian patio
@formal dust outdated advice, I assume.
formal dust
hmm
verbal rune
I think it was for glamour
obsidian patio
Sounds it was advice back when crafters could use skills from the other classes

as an ironman account what is a good baseline

You can ignore Culinarian for the most part, in terms of it making supplies for the other crafters

twilit arch
restoration isn't more efficient than leves

leves are very much the best way to level, for crafters
restoration lets you be lazy

Well fair enough, it is "lazier" tho

twilit arch
the initial leve unlock quest is at the adventurer's guild of your starting city
after that, its just a matter of doing the appropriate "Leves of X" to unlock the levemete for that town
faint flare
Restoration is the firmament in ishgard which is a way to level crafters and gatherers

Restoration is basically like Rowena’s House of Splendors but can be used earlier and you get a different set of scrips for buying glamour/collectable stuff

what are the prerequisites to getting the hunting board quests in kugane/gyr abania other than story?

Unlocking those two unlock SB hunts

Yeah that looks like the one that I see over at the balance
leaden ginkgo
cause sastasha is boring as fuck
plain python
yeah, but it is easy
obsidian patio
As for non-dungeon methods of experience, you really only have fates for your level
plain python
if you have a scholar running Satasha, you don't even need to heal 😄
also hunting logs
gives you a bit push in lv40-50, but still nice regardless
also don't run away from dungeon that is not your liking. It is kinda not nice to other players, especially if you're tank or healer cuz a run cannot function without either class

as a healer does my weapon damage affect the power of healing spells?
obsidian patio
Yes

FATE then. Or level up a gathering. Or play another class meanwhile to lv15 so it is dungeon ready

The Crystal Tower series is the Legacy of Allag quest right?

Yes

thats the start of the questchain

ah so business as usual then
mellow dirge
is there any difference between the SCH fairies?
gritty oracle
The only mechs you have to respect in the entire crystal tower series is ancient flare in lota and the meteors in wod. I've seen people wipe to both. A lot.
wispy parcel
theres no difference between the fairies
gritty oracle
I mean the meteor towers
wispy parcel
its just which one you like better
glacial isle
you're saying things like i would know what they mean Vie
plain python
The eye boss and cerebus in World of Darkness too
plain python
people often wipes in LoTA in triple atomos (step on pads before everyone gather, refuse to step on pad when necessary), bomb (refuse to kill black bomb), behemoth (refuse to hide behind rock, or lure Iron giant which destroy rocks) and the final boss (refuse to run to designated destinations during ancient flare casting)
these are often easily resolved after 1-2 wipes
glacial isle
so no 6 hours of bashing your head against a wall
faint flare
No
Thats reserved for actually challenging content of Savage and ultimates
Extremes for midcore difficulty
gritty oracle
I have never had wipes on triple atomos or behemoth. Some people die, but even newbies notice when everyone's scurrying behind the rocks.
lost grove
What should I do as a sam when the tank constantly keeps moving the mobs and I can't hit my positional
faint flare
If they're rotating the boss then ask them why and to stop if they can
gritty oracle
If it's trash, you should be using your aoe and the little DPS increase from positionals doesn't even matter. If it's a boss, politely ask them to stop spinning the boss.
faint flare
You shouldnt be using ST on trash pulls
gritty oracle
Does Sam aoe have positiona
lost grove
The positional part is for bosses
faint flare
Bosses shouldnt be turning often unless its forced turning on mechanics
If they're intentionally turning bosses then ask them to stop

@elfin osprey if the mogstation shows that their home world has changed then you’re good to go

When is the best time to use seraph n her abilities ? How should I use her as well?
obsidian patio
In non-dungeons I use her to help with AoE damage
In dungeons I basically swap between Seraph and Fey Union for trash packs and bosses
Using whichever one is up
glacial isle
is there a way to do more than 3 quests for each tribe a day or is that just a Free Trial thing?
lost grove
Ok
glacial isle
(not counting the supply quest for the Ixal)
obsidian patio
The other ARR tribes get more dailies as you rank up
glacial isle
ok
obsidian patio
Expansion tribes always give 3 except on days that you rank up, where you get another 3 for that day
glacial isle
also how do I unlock Ley Lines?

silk summit
Is there any kind of indicator that enochian is active? It doesn't seem to give a buff icon
little swift
your job gauge has a timer
if you're still ticking AF3/UI3 without dropping it, you don't drop enochian
warped nest
As long as you have Umbral Ice or Astral fire
You have Enochian
What I wrote is not 100% correct.
If you want to see whether it is on or not, it is the wood color arc on the right side
warped nest
On later level this arc will become a clock, maintaining Enochian for 30s build you a thingy, which can be used for Foul (lvl 70 skill) or Xeno gloss (lvl 80 skill)
It will become a lot less subtle once it has a clock handle on it ticking

how do you not wipe in Great King Moggle Mog XII (Extreme)

cosmic token
So I just unlocked the masked carnival
should I be completing as many as I can, to get 800 for the lvl 60 cane?
or should I be waiting to be able to clear them with bonuses or sth like that
glacial isle
does Dark Knight need any class pre-requisites or just show up in Ishgard and accept the 1st quest?
cosmic token
the latter
faint flare
No class requirements
glacial isle
Ok
faint flare
Expansion jobs are just "be this level and get to the trainer"
cosmic token
and have the expansion unlocked
faint flare
And that
obsidian patio
@cosmic token no need to wait for bonuses, the first-time completion of each stage gives allied seals
Around 3k or so if you complete all 30 stages
cosmic token
so just do what I can to farm up the cane?
obsidian patio
Yep
glacial isle
Ishgard is Heavensward so I just need to grind the MSQs and Allag to get there
cosmic token
anything else that's a priority for allied seals?
faint flare
Some of the whalee gear
If you wanna min max stats
And just having a second 270 ring
Without having to go do dun scaith thing
cosmic token
do the bonuses and score matter for anything?
obsidian patio
I think score is mostly meaningless, but the bonuses are what you need to achieve for some of the weekly challenges
Stuff like “use 10 or less different spells” or “use spells that only involve the face”
cosmic token
so unless it has a star next to the challenge, I don't need to care about which bonuses I do?
obsidian patio
Pretty much
cosmic token
is there a way of finding out which spell does what kind of dmg?
faint flare
Says in their tool tip
obsidian patio
And the blue mage log
cosmic token
that it does not, cuz that was what I looked at
obsidian patio
Also let’s you filter spells with it
faint flare
!action Water Cannon
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI | BLU Data Powered by FFXIV Collect
faint flare
"deals water damage"
obsidian patio
It’s pretty ignorable most of the time since BLU is the only time element on spells really matters
Besides BLM and their fire/ice stances
slate arrow
BLU element only matters in Masked Carnivale
limpid mulch
OK, so if an NPC is involved in multiple quests, they're always supposed to give the option of which quest to progress, correct?
I ask because I was doing Vanu Vanu beast tribe quests, hit the reputation cap before turning in the rest, and started the story quest for it called "Fishing for Friendship" only to have the game stop me when I went to talk to Linu Vanu and force me to turn in "Smooth as Silk, Cool as Air" first, thus wasting 50 reputation.
Is this a bug? Oversight perhaps?
obsidian patio
Sometimes the beast tribe quests can be fickle. I avoid that scenario by leaving the other dailies not fully completed
But yeah it’s a bit inconsistent
limpid mulch
OK, so this does happen with them sometimes. Thanks. It's kinda silly, but yeah I guess I can just only fully complete the amount I need to cap in order to get around it
Also, to add to the BLU convo since I'm here, BLU elements also matter for Condensed Libra
It adds one of 3 debuffs, one for physical damage, one for 3 of the elements, and another for the other 3 elements
But yeah, pretty sure that's the only thing it matters for outside Masked Carnivale
glacial isle
so what's going on in Labyrinth of the Ancients
I just finished it and have 0 idea what happened
didn't help that the Alliance health bars covered up most of the enemies
faint flare
Usual 24man stuff
I recommend turning party and other effects to limited at least so you dont have thousands of spell effects covering the mobs
And shrinking the other alliance HP
glacial isle
bold of you to assume i know which of the 27 HUD elements those are
or how it works
drifting burrow
y can't i plant this seed? i did some research, but i'm not sure--are these type of plants only allowed indoors?
faint flare
They're listed as like Alliance 1 or something in hud editor
glacial isle
yes I found the button to turn it off
faint flare
Flower seeds go into flower pots
glacial isle
but I don't know about the effects
glacial isle
this one?
faint flare
Yes
Limited turns off all except ground aoe and healer bubbles which you kinda want/need to know
glacial isle
and is there any way to auto target enemies so I don't spend 10 minutes clicking past my allies' names?
faint flare
No but pressing tab should target and scroll through mobs
Thats visible in the camera
glacial isle
why did nothing ever tell me tab did that
faint flare
Tab targetting...type of targetting thats pretty common in older mmos
glacial isle
I never played older MMOs
faint flare
Most mmos are tab target or action which go off the mouse
glacial isle
Clarification: I've never played any MMOs on computer
faint flare
More you know.jpg
little swift
just as an extra shift-tab scrolls the other way @glacial isle
glacial isle
thx
little swift
and in char config you can set ctrl scroll up/down to do the same

also is the raide supposed to drop like 4 gear items, 1 "Allagan Catalyst" and 2 music sheets as loot?

!faq newplayertips

surreal crest
Sweet, thank you!
I'll give this a read through and i'll come back if there is anything specific. I appreciate it!
warped nest
@surreal crest while I am not familiar with wow, I want to point out a few things
Specifically on building character for combat
A there is no difference between the races, pick them based on aesthetics, same deal with stuff like deity, birth day, etc
B there is no permanent stat growth on your character, stat comes exclusively from your gears. You can play a Mage all the way to lvl 80, then swap to a tank, and you will be just as effective (as long as you have proper tank gear) as a player who played tank all the way
C there is no spec. You cannot build a job to perform outside their assigned roles. Ninja (job) is a physical melee DPS (role) and it stays that way, you cannot build an Evade tank out of a Ninja, not a thing in this game.

Is the Allagan Raid gear better than Ironworks or?
gloomy ice
Ironworks is best for levels 50-54.
Once you reach the level 55 dungeon, gear drops and quest rewards will become better than Ironworks.

Ironworks is the best gear at 50
You can compare their item levels

What Materia to slot in mainly as a Tank? Tenacity, Determination and Skill Speed?

No
Skill speed to tier (usually around 2.38-2.4s gcd) Crit > DH (skip if warrior) > det > the rest
Tenacity is garbage until it saves your life
Which is like 0.00001% of the time

Don't bother using Tenacity

o/ Hi, new here I guess. I have a question and I can't seem to find a good answer to it. I normally am able to play 10p.m. to 3a.m. CST due to scheduling. This of course means that usually the server (Exodus, Primal) is fairly empty and the same can be said for most FCs (in my experience). Does anyone have a reccomendation for a server that might be better for this late NA time slot?
zinc orbitBOT

All na servers will be quieter
It won't make much difference
You might have some luck if you flip through the recruitment channels here or on community finder on the lodestone

if the enemies' ring does not have the front arrow/back gap, all your positionals will be automatically fulfilled no matter where you hit them from

Better stat = better average output

You know samurai is supposed to be the best dps in savage
warped nest
Ehhhhh
kind eagle
But other class is doing more than me
Like red mage and black magd
Dragoon deal more than me too
warped nest
They are more skilled at their Jobs than you are at yours, and/or they have better ilvl gear than you
(assuming you knows your rotation)
kind eagle
I cleared e7s and and they didnt
glossy flare
Nice, but what was said is still relevant
kind eagle
Better stat
warped nest
What's your ilvl?
glossy flare
I wouldn't just blame it on stats tbh
People can be better than you and most likely, a lot of people will always be better than you
glossy flare
Then yeah, they are most likely better at their jobs than you are at yours
warped nest
Based on what you said, you have Dps tracker, are you absolutely sure that your Midare is weak?
warped nest
Or you were noticing the low numbers but didn't spot the real good Midare?
glossy flare
I assume you do use kaiten before every Iaijutsu?
warped nest
They do
kind eagle
No
warped nest
???
glossy flare
Those are not Iaijutsu anyway 😄
warped nest
Iaijutsu is the collective of Midare, Higan, and Tenka Goken
little swift
Do you loop correctly
glossy flare
Also use it on Goken btw, though I suppose that's not what makes your single target dmg low

And i dont do filler phase cause i still have katana guage

Ummmm

Use more shinten then

The filler phase is there so you line up your stuff with raid buffs
It is important

Yeah, the filler primary goal is not to give you more kenki, it is to align your other things

Plug a log in and share it here If You don't mind
