What's the requirement to promote from second storm lieutenant?

Can I play mahjong with party of 2 and send it to duty finder?
faint flare
Yes
verbal rune
Oh, yeah
wheat plume
how? I can only solo and with party of 4
verbal rune
How does squadroon work then?
faint flare
Squadrons are basically like a mobile type thing...pick members from your squadrons to fit the stats the mission asks for and send them out, they'll be back later
wheat plume
Yes
@faint flare that answer was for my question about mahjong in gold saucer?
verbal rune
Kay

how are the SB alliance raid queues
faint flare
You can play mahjong while waiting in que
wheat plume
You can play mahjong while waiting in que
@faint flare how exactly?
faint flare
Just go to the table after queing and you can play while waiting for the pop
wheat plume
and can I play there with another player?
faint flare
Dont think so, i dont play mahjong
wheat plume
oh, ok
And is there a way to play with a friend? only 2 people, maybe send the 2 of us to duty finder or any other form, when we dont have a party of 4 ?

wheat plume
Hi, im in a light party right now and someone left and were at the final stage but we cant finish
@vapid scroll you can wait to see if any player joins, there is an option to join a party mid dungeon
faint flare
No
Black mage is very very solid
Monk is complained about because its poor design and self conflicts itself
twilit arch
i think the only real complaint about blm is the leveling rotation is weird and awkward
alpine heath
Is it still a job people want in their raid etc? Compared to having a stronger dps like SMN
twilit arch
all jobs are viable
little swift
!faq meta
zinc orbitBOT
alpine heath
Nono I'm not saying it's not viable or that one job is better than the other
I'm just asking like, do blm get cast aside sometimes
faint flare
No
alpine heath
Considering theres SMNs etc
twilit arch
no
glacial isle
For the provision quests for the GCs can you hand in more than the requested material/HQ or does it not matter?
faint flare
No job does
alpine heath
I see
faint flare
Only shit players get cast aside
twilit arch
at worst PFs usually just lock their parties from duplicate jobs
since duplicates will slow down the rate you get limit break
no, you hand in exactly the amount needed. HQ will double exp/seals given with it being basically 4x if the item is also starred @glacial isle
alpine heath
Just thought that since (which I'm not against, everyone plays the game the way they want) there is quite a lot of "tryhard" "serious" teams or players, that they would rather only want SMNs, SAMs etc (biggest damage and utility) in their teams
glacial isle
Thx
faint flare
Nah
spare bridge
hey can u send emotes over to other characters on other servers?#
obsidian patio
@spare bridge you can’t really mail/trade with yourself, if that’s what you’re asking.
faint flare
Skill matters far more than job choice
little swift
Also blm at highest level play out damages most jobs
alpine heath
I see
spare bridge
@obsidian patio ah thx, idk so thought id check first
alpine heath
Btw I'm watching videos of people trying to get records on how fast they can clear a certain trial etc, do they go for the most dmg output team?
And not trying to compare to what i was saying earlier
Just curious
If they go with their mains or in common people that do this try to go with what they think will clear faster
gleaming mist
if you're doing speedkills, you usually strike a balance between consistency between runs and highest output in theory
faint flare
Usually mains cause you'll do more damage on a job you're good with than a job you're not
alpine heath
Hm i c
I haven't seen anyone (on the videos) use LB
Because it takes too long to cast right?
The damage from one LB just isn't worth it compared to casting 3 skills from your rotation
gleaming mist
it's plenty worth
alpine heath
Oh?
gleaming mist
if you're doing speed, then yeah you use your lb
if you just want a good number on fflogs, you don't lb
faint flare
Melee lb3 is 9300 potency
gleaming mist
its time taken away from your rotation
faint flare
Or something
alpine heath
Oh... damn
gleaming mist
and lbs don't have official listed potency
gleaming mist
no
faint flare
Just what people tested 🤷♂️
alpine heath
I c
faint flare
Or whatever
alpine heath
Thankyu
raw solstice
those potencies aren't what people tested
they're basically garbage data at this point
alpine heath
Is there any "leakes" so to say, of Bard getting AOE dots/spread in the future?
faint flare
No

faint flare
Leaks arent thaaat big of a thing
gleaming mist
if brd gets a bane, then they have to put severe limitations on it
alpine heath
Hm, such as?
gleaming mist
¯_(ツ)_/¯
alpine heath
Oh
alpine heath
lmao
But it is something limiting bard so I'm curious to know if they'll do something about it in the future

isn't wonderous tail weekly? In my first week with it, I have two journals finished. Or I missed something here? 🤔
twilit arch
you have 2 weeks to turn in a book
faint flare
Its weekly but you can pick up this weeks journal if you haven't already
And ontop of that ^
twilit arch
so you can pick up a book on week 1, complete it on week 2 and get a second book immediately

How can i gear a level 60 crafter if i dont have much gold?
faint flare
They're like linkshells but they work across servers

Datacenter wide private chat rooms

Not exactly
Like a free company but without the free company privileges like housing and buffs
A chat room for everyone in thr Linkshell
To talk about whatever
Or do whatever
magic wren
Oh I see, so can you be in a link shell and FC or is it either or?

rugged flicker
Did the make more areas in 2.0 accessible by flight during the last update? As in, make it so you can land on them?
faint flare
No
Well a small very few areas but nothing really out the map
You can climb onto a few more buildings here and there but dont expect too much
rugged flicker
I mean for example, I never noticed that the ceruleum pipes in Northern Thanalan are now on the map and you can land on them.
I don't think they were before last update.
faint flare
Like in the hotfix or something
zinc orbitBOT
rugged flicker
There was a sizeable update a couple weeks back.
faint flare
5.35 update with bojza?
I doubt they made new areas accessible outside of like some buildings or pipes or whatever. No real oob stuff
open coral
The ceruleum pipes? You mean the ones that you had to climb for the bomb-finding MSQ before 5.3?

spare bridge
for the bitter memories can u run the level 60 dungeon as any class and still get it?
twilit arch
yes, just need the quest active and your relic in your inv
spare bridge
nice thx
rugged flicker
@faint flare Yeah I didn't really mean anything major, just that I have noticed before that there were some places I couldn't land where I would just think, "There really is no reason that I shouldn't be able to walk around here."
faint flare
You need a crafter equal level to the gear to overmeld
faint flare
Its rng to put materia in and the rate is based on the materia and the slot
Tier 8s can only go in the first overmeld slot
manic flare
what is an ephemeral node and what is the point of finding/looking for one?
leaden ginkgo
Extra items
manic flare
how do you find an ephemeral node and what is aether sand
leaden ginkgo
It's time based
faint flare
They're similar to unspoiled
But they respawn during the time period
After you check nearby nodes
manic flare
is better to level gatherers/crafters through ishgardian restoration rather than through levequests?
i find that i'm hemorrhaging alot of money buying stuff for DoH leves
leaden ginkgo
So for any max level gear, I want to put as many tier 8s as possible?
obsidian patio
Aethersand is a crafting material used in endgame stuff
leaden ginkgo
I mean in just normal melding too
faint flare
Yeah
leaden ginkgo
So if I have five slots on a resistance weapon, I can do 6?
warped nest
Max is 5
faint flare
Only crafted gear can be overmelded
leaden ginkgo
Oh
faint flare
Which is neo ishgardian
faint flare
Gone
obsidian patio
Poof
faint flare
As you trade in the item
warped nest
Gears with OOOOO can go 88888
Gears with OO--- can go 88877 max
Gears with OO--- and advanced melding Forbidden can go 88---
leaden ginkgo
Big ouch
warped nest
O are open slots and - are hidden slots
warped nest
DoH/L usually overmeld their crafted gears too
faint flare
For first week raiding in savage primarily
And crafters/gatherers
Overmelded Aethese is BiS until the end
leaden ginkgo
Do gatherers meld for gp or
warped nest
If you want to do expensive melds
manic flare
what is BiS?
warped nest
GP you want 800 or 850? (I think you can hit 850)
leaden ginkgo
Best in slot
faint flare
Best in slot
leaden ginkgo
Dang
I gotta catch up
I'm at 720 gp with white scrip gear and shitty accessories
left cliff
Where to get level 70 gear with poetics ?
faint flare
Rhalgars
manic flare
so do people generally level up their crafters/gatherers in isghardian restoration?
leaden ginkgo
Kugane works too
faint flare
Or kugane
manic flare
because levequests are really expensive, at least for me
left cliff
Thanks 🙏
warped nest
Ishgardian restoration is easier to grind but take more time
manic flare
above level 40 i spend like 10 grand for the levequest items
leaden ginkgo
Ishgard is suggested but leves are fastest if you spend gil
Always dependent on if you make the items, buy them, etc
manic flare
well sometimes even making the item is expensive
cuz u have to buy the crafting materials
leaden ginkgo
Yeah, it's also dependent on server prices
warped nest
If you are properly self sufficient
leaden ginkgo
Retainers can help if you have them gather your materials
warped nest
The only thing you spent Gil on should be elemental crystals

Is there an aether raiding discord? (Trying to get into raiding. Cleared e7s pug, but am struggling to clear e5s pug).
lone spruce
Is there anything unique about the Royal hunting grounds? I’m here and it looks cool but idk if there’s anything else to do
faint flare
@rocky tide check #resources
lone spruce
Like man this whole area is cool as fuck but there’s nothing here
faint flare
Nah its just for screenshots
People liked the area
And requested it to be visitable
For screenshot purposes
lone spruce
It wasn’t visitable before?
lone spruce
Then how did people know abt it
lone spruce
I don’t remember that but okay
faint flare
Its where you're placed after ala mhigo
lone spruce
So the monsters here don’t drop anything valuable?
I will admit it’s pretty
Wait then what about the entire tomb full of specters?
There’s a side quest where you have to slay a few but that only takes you barely into the structure
This place is pretty big
No dungeon or anything?
faint flare
No just visual and lore and stiff
You go through there for the aether current
Not the whole map is used for everything. Some places are just left for mysteries and lore and stuff
lone spruce
Aww come on, what a waste
At least put something special there
Loot or special enemies or something
oak smelt
while lvling cnj i got the impression that my dmg skills hits pretty hard, stone 2 for ex was hitting as hard if not harder than most dps skills in dungeons. im assuming this is to compensate for the fact that healers spend less time dpsing? is my conclusion correct or am i misreading my dmg output?
polar hound
there are leves in the royal hunting grounds area, if it's the area in the lochs you're referring to
glacial isle
Is the Shop Selling Price how much something goes for in the Market Board?
leaden ginkgo
what's the best way to use sack of nuts? (I already got the mount and minions)
raven sage
shop selling price is how much a vendor sells it for
leaden ginkgo
if it doesn't have shop selling price, it means it's either crafted or obtained through different means (quests, mob drops, chests, etc.)
thorny jungle
I’m trying to get the memories for my resistance weapon so I need a quest to collect them?

sack of nuts for materia prolly, at this point people have lots saved up but 5.4 will bring new raid gear so ykno

do normal raids, alliance raids and extreme trials. Those are the kiddie pools for getting raiding experience

leaden ginkgo
is it normal that some squadron members don't level up or seems to level up slower than other squadron members?
faint flare
The main xp is from the missions you send them on so ones that dont only get the training xp

can they trigger their masteries on their own? for example, increased tactic stat when a marauder is in the squadron, but the member with the mastery is a marauder itself?

Because regen is good?

Later on it isn't as valuable

Would be more of a midpull cast if you really wanted to

dumbass me, I didn't level up my DoH and DoL beyond 40 and I'm sufferrin
I want to do the raids and stuff, but I'm a few numbers short
warped nest
You grind lvl 80 dungeons and raids
You spend your endgame tomestone: phanstamagoria, and Allegory, to get gear
hasty musk
lyncster what ilvl are you currently
warped nest
Take note that using doh/l to make gear is entirely optional for endgame gearing
hasty musk
but what's your ilvl
warped nest
Do you have i430 armors and weapons from Grendolt (I spelled this incorrectly probably) in Tempest

ye I do

Spend your Allagan Tomestone of Phanstamagoria and Allagan Tomestone of Allegory
To get gear from Eulmore

430 is simple if you have the gil for neo ishgard off the market board

if you have the money ^

Phantasmagoria can be used to buy ilvl 440 (or is it 450)
Allegory can be used to buy i490

if i already have Aesthete's mainhand for my crafters, is it still worth going for relic tool? my goal is to mass craft 5.4 stuff

oo you can augment it to ilvl 490

My friend has a Tsukuyomi Moonlight Codex that I want that glows, and they could craft it for me. But is it possible for them to trade it with me

your neo-ishgardian

is your aesthete already melded
leaden ginkgo
not pentamelded

They are tradable ye
sour ruin
Just don't let them equip it or it will soulbind to them when they go into combat with it
Lol
leaden ginkgo
good luck getting the mats for tsukuyomi wep lmao
sour ruin
It is rough
twilit arch
hm, its up to you if you want to put the time into getting the relic tools. especially since we really don't know how the end tool is going to look and how it'll compare to aesthete
it'll most likely be the cheaper but grindier option since pentamelding can be...very painful
leaden ginkgo
my stats are:
2690 | 2814 | 560 (no food)
pentamelded my gear aside from tools
since i wasn't sure abt this relic stuff
do u think its enough?
twilit arch
should be fine i think
leaden ginkgo
i guess if i end up needing it later down the road i could just upgrade
twilit arch
right now
The relic is compareable to base aesthete
but melded aesthete is generally going to win in stats against it
the issue becomes...what are the stats going to look like with the next step? which we can't answer right now

What does rotation means? I'm a new player who picked THM as starter class.
honest anvil
it’s how to best use to your skillset
carmine oyster
So if you play the trial, what do you need to buy after trial finishes? Just shadowbringers for 40 dollar?
twilit arch
You need both the starter edition and shadowbringers, if you want everything
obsidian patio
Rotation is basically the skill flow/order of the class
Or a list of priorities, for some other jobs like red mage and dancer
twilit arch
which you can buy the complete edition so its one nice easy purchase
carmine oyster
How much costs complete?
twilit arch
60, same as if you bought starter and shadowbringers separately (barring any sales ofc)
carmine oyster
Ok thanks
outer plank
@obsidian patio hey, can you quickly answer the question i left in the doh/l channel you know alot about crafting and gathering
obsidian patio
I don’t do endgame crafting/gathering so I don’t know.
obsidian patio
The balance resource channel for DoH/DoL should have a list of breakpoints for gathering.
I just don’t do the endgame min-maxing

what will happen if I used a fantasia, took off all my gears then Re-login and didn't change any appearances and dive straight into the game? will I be offer to change the appearance next time I logout with no gears?

the re-edit option will remain available at log in screen until you confirm the changes
frosty raft
Hey , im a Pc player and want to add a friend from PS4 . How do i do this?
Also other Server
outer plank
@frosty raft its cross platform so there should be no problems adding a ps4 player, like you would any other player
now heres the problem, which world is he on?
i see you're in cerberus
is he in the same data center?
if so you shouldn't have problems adding him so long as he not busy or in a instance
frosty raft
Shes on another data center
frosty raft
eww 
hasty musk
if you want to play with your friend you need to be on the same datacenter, otherwise there's no way for you to interact
frosty raft
Oh shes on spriggan , that means also Chaos
outer plank
ok then world travel to spriggan through one of the big aytherites in the arr hub towns, player search her name and send a friend request @frosty raft
or just meet her on spriggan at a big aytherite
world traveling lets you visit any server within your data center
leaden ginkgo
dumb question but, whats the point in having higher perception when the HQ percentage is capped at 15%
or is it supposed to be useful for HQ-related skills
outer plank
because certain nodes will have active or hidden requirements saying x > (perception) for bonus.
same for gp
and gathering
leaden ginkgo
so there must be a point of diminishing returns
outer plank
also certain perception is needed
to obtain hq items
of a certain variety
you wouldn't be able to gather hq 3* lv 80 materials if you're perception is like below 2100 or so
warped nest
because certain nodes will have active or hidden requirements saying x > (perception) for bonus.
I like to add that this is the Location Effect section at the bottom of your gathering window
leaden ginkgo
im currently at around 2300+ of both gathering/perception so im wondering if it's even worth pentamelding my gear when its already hitting 15% hq
outer plank
yeah, but you need 2600+ for diadem i believew
whole wasp
!skill leaf turn iii
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
whole wasp
skills like this exist too
outer plank
for the location effect atleast
warped nest
It basically works like the Craftmanship/Control requirements for Crafters
For crafters, you can't start the (master) recipe if you didn't hit requirements
outer plank
@leaden ginkgo it seems like, atleast from the mid tier gathering set im using https://ffxivteamcraft.com/gearset/lvNWxIPmgEL40Ea8qp5l they arent penta melded on some pieces right now
warped nest
For gatherer, you are locked out of HQ if you don't hit requirements
outer plank
so that we can figure out later what thew bench marks to meet the 5.4 would be
but yeah
outer plank
good luck, tbh its still pretty painful to meld
but yeah if you're not into diadem stuff in general, you might not need to go so hard on the materia
leaden ginkgo
how i see it, diadem is a really slow grind for skybuilder scrips so i tend to make money through crafting and buy diadem mats that way
so i dont really see much of a purpose in diadem
outer plank
likewise diadem mats even know can make quite alot
literally empty my saddle bag of diadem left overs onto my retainers, got rid of the rest that were pretty much like 10 gil on mb. got 30k per stack and sold out over like a few hours
it does make the cash
potent shale
I wish we could make Nuts super fast
leaden ginkgo
but how long does that take you?
outer plank
well i was going through the motions of leveling crafters so it was just left overs, but an un melded white scrip set took about 15 minutes to reach 99 stacks of something
i can probably do it alot faster now that i can reach those location benchmark with food
leaden ginkgo
also idk if this was answered before but how much does higher gathering increase yield by?
like say if i do get the extra +300 gathering stat
can i gather say another 1-2 mats per hit
that alone would be worth imo
im hoarding a lot of shb mats atm in prep for 5.4 lmao
outer plank
gathering doesn't affect gathering attempts, just the chances. unless ofc it has to do with meeting a gathering effect for a location and getting +2 gathering attempts or something like that
diadem can even have nodes at 5+ gathering attempts
or yield i think*
leaden ginkgo
ooh im mainly looking at BY2
outer plank
if you meet the location effect
outer plank
im not sure either. the only thing i can think of would be an location effect
but your gathering yield and attempts say the same otherwise
if i went to a lv 5 nodes and a lv 80 node, it would be the same 4 attempts 1 yield
leaden ginkgo
where tf am i meant to go https://i.imgur.com/lgjs1mZ.png cant find her upstairs or down
outer plank
when i doubt, just google or youtube it
patent citrus
can you buy a land and not put a house into it? like just put outdoor furniture in it 😂
obsidian patio
No, you need a house on it.
patent citrus
ok ty ty
obsidian patio
Also, with the automatic demolition coming back in 5.4 you need to enter your house every 45 days to keep it
@leaden ginkgo if that’s the spot I’m thinking of, it’s a door near the big staircase outside.
The one that separates the settlement in two halves
leaden ginkgo
okay i went and tested BY2 with pick clean
pick clean gets me the max +3 yield, and BY2 another +3 (also max)
is.. 6 the highest number of mats attainable with skills?
assuming its not a special node
outer plank
oh you're talking about bountiful yield 2. i didnt recognize the acronym
yes but it increases yield by 1-2 or 3 based on gathering
yet another reason to have higher gathering rating
leaf turn 3 works the same way
but with perception
leaden ginkgo
so if im already maxing the 6 mats per hit, theres no reason to meld?
😩 sorry for being difficult
gotcha
outer plank
well it depends, what are you hitting a max of 6 on?
leaden ginkgo
i tested it on lvl 80 mats
outer plank
which ones, the 1-2 or 3* materials?
leaden ginkgo
shb stuff like titancopper sand
outer plank
nodes*
leaden ginkgo
not diadem
outer plank
well, you're probably not gonna hit 6 for 3* nodes like the brashgold ores/firecobalt. so its up to you. you might be able to hit 4 with that gathering rating but thats fine
penta melding for gathering is not as big of a deal
as it would be for crafting
but for the 0* nodes like the titancopper sands
yeah you dont need to meld for basic materials like that
@leaden ginkgo
leaden ginkgo
oh? okay i need to check out brashgold ores
frosty raft
@outer plank Thank yu
outer plank
np
leaden ginkgo
ah okay i completely forgot about the ephemeral/legendary nodes, ive never farmed these before
i need the folklore books to even get started with them right?
outer plank
pretty sure
a few of the legendary nodes have that materials needed to craft the aesthete stuff
which sells for quite a bit
i think alloy cobalt ingots on my world sell for 12k a pop
leaden ginkgo
in that case would mid tier be enough for max yield?
for brashgold ores for example
outer plank
nope. i'm reach 4 yield foodless (probably can with food) with the stats in the link i posted
but since they come around like every 20 minutes
its not even a big issue if im hitting 4 or 6
leaden ginkgo
think it might be possible with high tier?
cuz im assuming if we cant hit max now, then 5.4 mats might be even worse
outer plank
probably. the higher meld tier is like "IF YOU REALLY wanna be prepared for 5.4"
but from what i hear
5.3 mid tier melds will be
5.4 future proof
but i dont have the gil, time or frustration to try and squeeze out some more stats remelding
leaden ginkgo
gotcha
leaden ginkgo
i wonder if i should just swap the perception melds since i dont really care for HQ
outer plank
@verbal rune mount?
verbal rune
There is a mount?
obsidian patio
No.
twilit arch
that is not from masked carnival
obsidian patio
It gives titles, some spells, and a lot of allied seals for completing every stage
twilit arch
that is from doing specific set of bosses synced in an all blu group
outer plank
ahhhhh
obsidian patio
Also completing stage 25 is required for BLU story
With stage 30 possibly becoming another requirement when BLU’s level cap gets raised to 70 in 5.4
outer plank
@leaden ginkgo in terms of what you should with melding, im not the one to ask about that specfically, i mostly play follow the leader and listen to the smart people over at the balance discord
head over there and ask
verbal rune
I see
I should probably check a guide
Tought one part of me wants to do them alone
Do I need all the spell for the stages?
leaden ginkgo
yeah ill do that
thanks for all the help thus far tho, ive been really confused lol

anyone know if 5.4 will introduce new endgame crafting sets?
craftable combat and crafting/gathering sets i mean
outer plank
@twilit arch from i heard over at the balance discord, we are getting a white scrip gear set
obsidian patio
Hard to say for sure on scrip stuff
5.x hasn’t followed the same schedule that 4.x did
We got the all-class scrip set earlier (5.2 vs 4.3)
twilit arch
its possible that we'll get white scrip accessories
and nothing else
since we don't have those, but i highly doubt we'll get a new set, unless its an augmented version of the professional set
obsidian patio
Yeah that’s my main expectation.
Accessories in 5.4 and probably augmented set in 5.5
twilit arch
which personally doubt since they didnt augmented land/handking
patent citrus
oo like white scrips accessories?
cause right now it's non existent for both I and II

go to the inn room moltres
there's a book there that you can use to look back at cutscenes
open coral
I was in the middle of cutscene when I had the connection hiccup last night and when I got on today, it was after the cutscene. Is there any way to see what I missed? Or do I need to see it via an alt character?
@calm phoenix If you go to an inn room, you can interact with "The Unending Journey" on the desk to rewatch any cutscene in the entire game.
faint flare
Mostly any cutscene
open coral
Or, if you want, you can always wait until you finish your current "chapter" of the MSQ, and then go back and do the segment again through NG+ (provided it's MSQ or one of the side stories available through NG+)
Then either option should be valid.
Just for the NG+ option you'll have to wait until you next see the system message "A new chapter has been added to New Game +"
Kugane is a main city, so no.
Idyllshire is a secondary city.

The only expansion so far without a secondary city which allows riding is ShB, which instead has two main cities.
Until 70
MSQ 70
faint flare
Which vendor gear
open coral
You'll want to grab Scaevan gear from Rhalgar's as soon as you finish 4.0 though.
faint flare
Cause vendor gear is garbage and has lower stats than that ilvl should have
outer plank
honestly if you're going through the msq
you should be getting free gear
so why do you need vendor gear?
open coral
Honestly though, even over (character) level, you could have still gotten away with using Augmented Shire all the way to the end of 4.0
faint flare
Vendor gear has effectively -30 ilvls worth of stats
open coral
And dungeon gear.
outer plank
the problem is that even gray vendor gear, a full set is expensive as hell.
you could of gotten a better set for free
just by doing shb msq
open coral
There's just no really good reason to pick up a full set of vendor gear ever.
outer plank
when you reached it
faint flare
You should basically never use vendor gear post lv50
open coral
The only reason to pick up any vendor gear is basically if, for some reason, you don't have the ilevel to enter a story instance.
faint flare
Even then gear on market board is better
open coral
And if you're consistently picking up Augmented poetics and dungeon gear, there's no problem
Yes
faint flare
Basically wasted money really
open coral
I mean, it's your gil but...
outer plank

proud willow
what vendor set are we talking? the 385?
faint flare
- you have no reason to get better gear until your story catches up
- There's far better gear thats actually worth the cost
open coral
Nah, he's talking like, grey vendor gear
outer plank
@calm phoenix its more for future reference that is
warped nest
Same answer
proud willow
385 is grey vendor gear
outer plank
you cant take back whats done now
open coral
Oh is it?
faint flare
The grey 385 gear is weaker than 350 gear
warped nest
You just need to gear enough to match your story
faint flare
He's effectively ilvl 350
warped nest
Don't waste Gil to gear to your level
proud willow
that's still better than Aug Shire hands down
it's not a smart investment but it's still a very large upgrade
open coral
Yeah, but he doesn't need it if he's level 62 MSQ
proud willow
agreed
faint flare
Could probably grab whatever the crafted gear was of that era for cheaper
Off market
proud willow
but people are almost talking like he downgraded
open coral
^
outer plank
@proud willow never got that impression, we were just saying that its a waste of gil to buy vendor gear
and then expalining why it is
faint flare
And we're saying you could be even stronger
For probably less gil
Depending on market prices
faint flare
Market board already filters for gear your level and under
outer plank
you can search by the highest equipable gear
proud willow
The marketboard lists items in order by item level, so whatever's at the top of the list will be the strongest thing that you can equip
if you are using the category buttons on the left side
faint flare
So the stronger gear available for your job is always at the top
warped nest
Re: field monster
The improvement is probably "It used to take me 5 GCD to kill this, now it takes 3"
Don't think it is worth spending Gil for that tbh
faint flare
Hell could probably picked up the lv72 HQ gear off market...people usually sell that since its a quest reward for cheap
open coral
lol true
Personally though, I think buying any non-tomestone gear ever is a waste of gil.
faint flare
Levelling gear usually isnt that expensive off market board
Since the game offers HQ gear and people sell it for money and bring down the price
