verbal rune
Alexander is a raid, trial or what? Cause on blue mage it is listed as A1, A6, A4 for those spells that require alexander stuff
twilit arch
Alexander is a raid
basically, any time you see Letter Number N/S its indicating a raid floor
so A1 is referring to the first alexander floor (usually normal mode if it doesn't have N/S behind it)
verbal rune
Raid, as in Bahamut coil style, or like cloud of darkness stuff?
twilit arch
Raid as in bahamut
cloud of darkness would be an alliance raid
which for heavensward is the shadows of mhach series
verbal rune
Uhm, but not as hard I assume as Bahamut
twilit arch
depends on which version you're doing
verbal rune
Since it has a normal and s version
twilit arch
N= normal mode
S= Savage mode
so normal mode, would definitely be easier than coil since its designed to be done with random duty finder people
Savage on the other hand, for the most part, alexander is generally going to be a step up in difficulty than coil
just kind of the nature of things, players get better fights get harder
verbal rune
Makes sense
As long as there is a normal mode, a savage version can be as hard as they want
verbal rune
A problem for the me of the future
remote lintel
also each expansion has 12 normal raids and 3 alliance raids
alexander being the normal raid and shadow of mhach being the alliance raids for HW

is there a database on levequest? like how much money they pay out and which ones can be triple submited? saw this post on reddit about a ShB leve for making gil but I'm sill in SB
obsidian patio
In terms of pure leve efficiency it’s probably one of the level 78 triple turn-in leves now
twilit arch
ye but they said they're not in shb yet
fast talon
looking at this picture, is there a way to see if the leve is the kind you can triple turn-in?
oh never mind
i see it now
that fancy looking chain with a three next to it
twilit arch
yep 🙂

When a dungeon has *Avg. item level : XXX
Does it mean it’s the item level I’ll get synced to if I’m even slightly above it?
To be specific, it’s Dohn Mheg. Says Avg item level is 375 while my job has 379
remote lintel
its the requirement iirc
twilit arch
no, average item lvl means that's the require ilvl to enter
if it had a hard ilvl sync on it, it would say Item Level Sync:
mossy tartan
okay, thank you

That’s just a person doing a custom emote
Nothing actually happened
/em insert text here
Makes what you output look like an emote’s text
Also, looking at the time the event ends, you can get this week’s fashion report in to benefit from Make it Rain, but you basically need to do it right away.

Lemme double check the timing for fashion report opening up
Guess I can’t check for sure RN. Just have to wait for weekly reset to happen and then check the time it says

When ocean fishing, what do the little symbols mean by some of the fish names, like in this shot?
twilit arch
indicates which achievement they're for basically.
since there's achievements for catch certain amount of sharks etc
twilit arch
yee ocean fishing is really nice, easy and lazy way to level fisher
manic flare
@dry jolt what level is your fisher?
dry jolt
Ocean fishing for fisher, Ishgard restoration for everything else...only drawback is not really learning to play the classes
55
manic flare
is 400k exp alot for level 55?
what percentage of a level exp is that
i feel like starred, hq GC provisions give crazy amt of exp
manic flare
i leveled up 10 times in a row with one turn-in
twilit arch
starred HQ gc turn ins are basically 4x
manic flare
it feels like cheating
twilit arch
more than that if you're on preferred
manic flare
yea i was preferred at the time
then i lost my preferred status
even tho the world am in is still preferred
maybe it's bug, is it worth buggin SE support about this?
dry jolt
it's about 20% of a level, 400k
remote lintel
was it preferred twice in a row or was it not preferred at one point
gritty kite
Anyone here that can dm me- i have 1-2 questions abt ffxiv story ;3;
remote lintel
then it probably stopped being preferred once
twilit arch
it very likely stopped being preferred at some point
remote lintel
@gritty kite just ask
dry jolt
I just found out preferred ended on Malboro Oct 13, so the clock is running
remote lintel
then spoiler tag it
twilit arch
use spoiler tags
gritty kite
oh-
remote lintel
if youre that early in the story its not spoilers
dry jolt
Also mods are no fun
twilit arch
yes, im not

||So um- I've finished some lv 15 story quest I think and I had to fight against those few guys- I think they were actually good guys but for some reason didn't like me? And Lupo helped. But I am really confused, cause like.. AH WAIT- It was about Leia's egg. Why did they wanna fight me? And- afterwards we figured out Lupo is really nice and helped the farm people. And then I got this letter. And gave it to mother, but I didn't really figure what it's about. Someone explain please ||
remote lintel
some dudes wanted to steal a prized chocobo egg and the moogle saw them and went after them and you helped
remote lintel
the guy who owned the chocobo saw ixali weapons bein carried across the border
and wrote down what he saw and wanted you to take the letter to mother miounne
dry jolt
Does anyone know if this bait list is accurate for ocean fishing?
Southern Straits – Krill
Galadion Bay – Plump Worm
Northern Straits – Ragworm
Rhotano Sea – Plump Worm

ixali weapons- like that one weapon i found at this one tree boss?
twilit arch
yes
gritty kite
thank you c:
remote lintel
theyre like air blimps

i kinda.. struggle w the english ingame a bit.
actually
i barely understand anything..
remote lintel
a lot of the game uses early english so it can be hard if youre not a native speaker
gritty kite
um- I am german.
remote lintel
why dont you play in german
manic flare
i thought there's a german language option
twilit arch
gritty kite
I don't like the german language.
manic flare
what? lol
gritty kite

manic flare
is german your first language?

Anyone know where to get skybuilders ruby sea water and cocoons
zinc orbitBOT
Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.
remote lintel
like this?
limber walrus
Are they just in the diadem?
twilit arch
anything skybuilder related is going to be in diadem, but do note that you can only get p3 materials and p2 expert materials
blazing crest
When you become a mentor youll have that icon beside your name right?
twilit arch
if you're looking for p1 stuff, don't bother with it
slate arrow
you can't obtain Skybuilder's Ruby Sea water anymore
twilit arch
you can turn off the crown @blazing crest
limber walrus
You can't?
faint flare
Ignore phase 1 receipes
blazing crest
I would like to have that crown. Lol.
faint flare
And phase 2
twilit arch
ah well then yeah you get a crown you can set next to your name
slate arrow
the Phase 1 and Phase 2 recipes should be ignored

Thanks guys

So complete the trials, dungeons and etc all on one character then get all other characters to level 80 and complete their quests?
remote lintel
you mean classes?

Its all on the same character
remote lintel
you only need tank, healer and dps

Just different classes

Yeah classes sorry
remote lintel
its a common mask style in gridania

you mean like Adamantoise having leap of faith while Midgardsormr has Slice is Right?

what about FATEs?

those are more populated by completion rates and population, i believe
twilit arch
FATEs are definitely not the same on each server

how do you change your mount's default music?
remote lintel
unsync it
twilit arch
you can't
remote lintel
you can't
manic flare
hmmm weird
when so many other t hings in this game are customizable
but the mount music is not
naive kraken
at least not through standard methods you cannot change it
remote lintel
mount music is tied to the mount
polar hound
you can turn mount music off, but that's about it
naive kraken
if you were to change the music itself, but that's not exactly easy
may not be possible. i've wanted to change Lahabrea's laugh in MSQ to Tidus's laugh for years now.
manic flare
i really like the ifrit horse mount. but the music gives me the creeps
wanna change it to shiva's mount music
sweet viper
i have been for the past 4 hours, 1 person joins then leaves, no one sticks around long enough XD
is it because of bozja?
hasty musk
No, it's because omega savage is old
sweet viper
i know, but i still want to clear them ;-;
remote lintel
are you doing it unsync
sweet viper
yes
so i can mount farm later and stuff lol
okay, so i think it's because these raids are a bit harder so people are not so willing to help compared to alex and bahamut raids, so i guess i'll give up for now
naive kraken
you still have to do some of the alpha mechanics, IIRC. delta and sigma maybe the final tiers?
sweet viper
i'm still in delta, managed to find a group of 5 people to help me clear v1, now i'm stuck in v2
naive kraken
kind of like shinryu you still need to bait the attacks somewhat in the beginning, and run down the tail in time in the transition
proud willow
those don't have to be done in order
and while a lot of people may be interested in the mount from v4, very few people are looking for glamour from the other floors
sweet viper
i guess your right
but i can't help it if i'm somewhat of a completionest haha
well thanks

is there a way to repeat the facet story quests with other crafters?
scarlet sandal
yea thanks
plush hound
@leaden ginkgo negative
leaden ginkgo
I see, so I'll have to level the others with Leves. Do you know which crafters are worth leveling with the facet story?
outer plank
@leaden ginkgo any of them, certain facets are shared with 3 or less doh/l jobs. culinary and alchemist share one, i dont exactly remember what shares with what
but it doesnt matter which facet you do your jobs on
leaden ginkgo
why not?
outer plank
its just exp and yellow scrips.
if you going for all your doh/l
then it doesnt matter
leaden ginkgo
for example, if leve materials for blacksmith are more expensive or harder to get than goldsmith materials, then the facet story would be better for blacksmith
remote lintel
you can do beast tribes, gc turn ins, ishgard restoration
all of which arent that expensive if youre leveling all crafters together
outer plank
@leaden ginkgo they all share the same recipe
leaden ginkgo
I know
outer plank
oh i see what you mean
leaden ginkgo
but the leves don't share the same recipe
outer plank
really, i think really people don't look that deeply into it, best advice i can give is look up on the internet which leve quests are easier between the 2
and go with that
they usually are pretty balanced out in terms of gil usage
remote lintel
leveling crafters isnt that expensive if youre doing them all together
outer plank
^
leaden ginkgo
thanks
in terms of gil/exp what would let me power level all my crafters from 70 to 80?
remote lintel
ishgard restoration
leaden ginkgo
I have 100 leve allowances

How the fuck do I beat this, I’m even doing it on super easy
That one bitch always fucking dies too quickly even with perfect rotation

youre losing because someone is dying?

Yeah because I’m playing as Nyelbert

So what’s the benefit of putting gear on your retainers
Are the results of their explorations improved
manic flare
some of the the exploration quests are itemlevel locked

they also need to hit certain stats or ilvl

hey just wanted to double check because this is from a comment on youtube which is very upvoted, it says to gather light for anima questline soloding a certain dungeon can do it, is that correct?
lower level solo I mean
manic flare
@remote lintel doesn't it also make your quick exploration efforts more fruitful, too?
even they aren't item or stats level locked
remote lintel
for combat retainers ilvl increases the chance they bring back better stuff
dont know about gatherers

does the class hunting log have a reward at the end of it? or it is just XP and gil?

@leaden ginkgo you could just do a8s i think it was
little swift
hey just wanted to double check because this is from a comment on youtube which is very upvoted, it says to gather light for anima questline soloding a certain dungeon can do it, is that correct?
@leaden ginkgo so if you want to solo brayflox longstop (hard) is recommended
otherwise
leaden ginkgo
so solo runs do gather light?
little swift
put up a pf for a9s unsynced
leaden ginkgo
@little swift ye that was what he recommended brayflox longstop
although he never said hard
little swift
you want hard mode
little swift
the dungeon on average is about 4-5 minutes alone
leaden ginkgo
ye but getting to the alexander mission might take longer at this point
since you need the savage
and I am waaay behind
little swift
but a9s with a near full group is about 2 minutes per run tops unsynced
leaden ginkgo
@little swift ya but to gather a full group prob takes a while if you don't have a party already beforehand
little swift
i've done the light farm like 4? times now
leaden ginkgo
how long does it take with a9s?
little swift
it takes maybe 10-15 minutes to fill a party with it on prime time
remote lintel
but a9s with a near full group is about 2 minutes per run tops unsynced
little swift
and then about 40ish minutes to finsh the whole thing from 0 light
leaden ginkgo
hmmm but in total how many runs?
little swift
shorter if you get max light
leaden ginkgo
damn 40 minutes?
little swift
about 21? runs
remote lintel
about 40 mins worth
little swift
depending on luck
leaden ginkgo
dood said like 9 hours to do the other way
welp I guess doing the alexander way then
is the savage one hard tho?
little swift
yah because you get harden light with chance for stalwart with a9s
they all have chance to grant extra light, jus tmeans you get the next tier up
little swift
it takes longer to do brayflox because its only giving roughly 50points per run
10 points of light per minute
kinda sucks in comparison to 50 points per minute
this is disregarding load times and what not
leaden ginkgo
ya but how long do you think it will take me to get to the savage level quests for alexander
if it's hours then I might just solo it
little swift
you just have to finish a1-12 normal
leaden ginkgo
I'm on cuff
little swift
and then its all unlocked by talking to the wandering minstrel in mor dhona
you unlock the savages in sets of 4
and don't need to do them in order
you just need to complete the normals
leaden ginkgo
I see
little swift
cuff is inspecific
leaden ginkgo
the second one
little swift
because there's cuff of the father and cuff of the son
leaden ginkgo
it's the son
little swift
so you're on the 6th fight out of 12
leaden ginkgo
hmm might just do this tomorrow then

Those are great for leveling crafter/Gatherer, but so so for combat classes
boreal storm
You dump 10 armor and weapon levels to make a grip
ember moth
And grips are an upgrade aetherpool weapon or just a regular weapon?
boreal storm
You trade 3 grips for a weapon usable outside of potd
ember moth
Are those the horde weapons?
So if I get this right at this stage in the game, you trade in +10 levels of armor and weapons for. Agrip which basically is used to be traded for a weapon that is for all purposes now adays cosmetic
boreal storm
Pretty much
ember moth
Ok
The guide is so unclear it makes it seem like you use a grip and it resets your progress on aetherpool levels but upgrades your aetherpool gear
Upon clearing floor 100, a previously acquired aetherpool weapon may be enhanced further with the use of an additional aetherpool grip.
Is what it says
outer plank
@ember moth those are the padaji weapons, horde weapons are shinryu weapons
nidhogg*
ember moth
So the weapons useable outside of potd that you buy, you can then upgrade?
outer plank
to kinna weapons yes.
boreal storm
The padaji get upgraded to kinna with 6 more grips
outer plank
the ilv goes from ilv 235 to 255 with kinna
boreal storm
Kinna’s slightly better I believe
outer plank
hardly matters when you can get ilv 270 weapons with 600 poetics
kinna was more of an weapon for your alts. but kinna is basically a weapon with a deep red glow
ember moth
Yeah mostly doing potd for the cosmetics and rare stuff that drops

How long should 20 to 30 take?
remote lintel
on your first class?
gritty kite
ya.
remote lintel
however long it takes you to do msq
ember moth
Not long msq moves you along pretty fast
gritty kite
It's 8:45 AM and at 1 AM tomorrow my 4 days run out.
But if I hit 30 by then, I get 15 free days.
Is that even correct tbh?*
outer plank
what?
you said you bought the game right? you should be on the free game time, which is 30 days
gritty kite
Um- I bought this game over a year ago.
ember moth
You don't get free game time I don't think
outer plank
for 12 dollars
gritty kite
I don't have it, no.
I have the 4 free days.
There are 4 free days you were able to claim.
I have those.
ember moth
After it runs out you need to sub
remote lintel
i dont think that adds to your 4 days
gritty kite
Wait..
little swift
it won't add to your 4 days
gritty kite
so I don't get 15 free days?
remote lintel
it wont add to your 4 days
little swift
the 15 only applies on existing subs
remote lintel
you would need an active sub
little swift
and only one itme
whole wasp
Yup
gritty kite
Urgh.
gritty kite
So if I hit lv 30 without an active sub, my 15 free days are just not gonna be given to me?
And I would lose them?
remote lintel
if you hit lvl 30 on another character on a preferred world it should give it to you
gritty kite
What do you mean?
remote lintel
say you pass lvl 30 on your main character
ember moth
It applies one time if you have an active sub
remote lintel
but you dont have an active sub
so you dont get the time
then you make another character on a preferred world
this time with active sub
and hit lvl 30
gritty kite
Oh.
remote lintel
you then get the 15 days
gritty kite
Wait so- if I already had a level 30 and got those 15 days, I don't get them again?
remote lintel
correct
gritty kite
I actually- wait. I don't think that happened though.
ember moth
Coreect
gritty kite
I hit lv 31 before, but the preffered world changed.
ember moth
Seems like you're worries about jumping through alot of hoops for 6$
gritty kite
.. The issue is that I cannot buy
gametime right now.
I don't know how. ;u;
I only use paypal.
ember moth
How do you buy stuff irl
gritty kite
wait-
um-
I don't.
Anyways- can I buy 1200 crysta?
1299*
with paypal and then use that to pay?
whole wasp
You cam buy subs with paypak
outer plank
or directly from paypal/ your debit card
whole wasp
Yes
gritty kite
paypak?
whole wasp
Thats how i pay for my sub

Buy 1299 crystas with paypal. Use crystas to pay for sub

Okay- thanks.

Depends on what you need
If you need more stat then the latter is better

@whole wasp isn't it more expensive?
like 30 Euro = 2 months? 🤔 while even the standard account is like 12.95 Euro
remote lintel
for crysta?
patent citrus
yeah
remote lintel
its the same price?
you pay for the amount you need in crysta
$12.99 is 1299 crysta

hmm does paypal ignore international transaction fee i wonder 🤦♂️
since if i pay by credit card i got like 1 aud surcharge
leaden ginkgo
do you lose your airship parts if you dismantle an airship? that's a no, right?
whole wasp
Paypal has a exchange surcharge
Thats why it isnt great
But i dont wanna directly link my bank account
Its a little more expensive but its less troublesome for me
patent citrus
oo apparently not available in AU 😂
rip in peace
not sure if using VPN just to try this method is dodgy
the staff would be like "heeyyy this account is AU, how come this guy can pay with Crysta"
leaden ginkgo
are the ffxivguild guides for levelling doh still relevant or are there better/more efficient guides out there?

More potd questions, does your data only save after every ten levels?
Also I read that if you die at any point in time on a save slot before 100 you can't enter 101
What of you die after that?
Or do you always start at floor 1?
patent citrus
there'a another checkpoint at 51-60 hehe
warped nest
Once you cleared 51-60 and do a quick follow up quest, you get to start at 51 directly
patent citrus
that checkpoint allows you to enter from 51-60 even with new save slot
ember moth
Ahh ok
jade quartz
If you wipe at any point on floors 1–100 you’ll be locked out of floors 101–200 on that save slot.
If you wipe at any point on floors 101–200 then your run is over and you must start all over again from floor 51.
In other words, 51–200 have to be completed without wiping.

Okay I can't seem to find a list anywhere and my memory's basically useless. What HW zones give which Bozja memories again?
Never mind, reworded my search and found it:
Tortured = Coerthas western highlands and sea of clouds.
Sorrowful = Dravanian forelands and churning mists.
Harrowing = Dravanian hinterlands and azys lla.

Centurio seals are shared as HW and SB hunt currency. ShB has its own

is it possible to solo 51-100 poTD with item +66?
it feels like a forever project trying to queue there
gloomy ice
Possibly but it would be very difficult without some form of self sustain.

red mage sounds like a DPS that can heal?
hexed wing
basically it is
hasty musk
it's one of the best jobs for soloing PoTD iirc
gloomy ice
It can but not until level 52. The early levels would require some luck.

what are different best job?

I’m not certain. I haven’t attempted a solo 1-100 yet 😅
jade quartz
All jobs are good jobs.

For potd?

we're talking about for potd solo specifically

warrior would probably be ok

Warrior was one of the last to manage to solo clear 👀

How do I challenge someone in Triple Triad
rugged flicker
Ugh... I keep following my NPC companions in Heroes' Gauntlet and I still wipe. x.x
green grail
which boss?
small marsh
i havent really tried triple triad. but ive tons of cards dropped from dungeons bosses. are dupes used?
green grail
right click the player and there should be a triple triad option, if you're in an area that allows triple triad duels @leaden ginkgo
small marsh
if i play triple triad.... will it remove these cards from my inventory to clear ups pace
green grail
no, you can sell them for mgp in the gold saucer
small marsh
pog
green grail
or just discard if you cant be bothered
leaden ginkgo
@rugged flicker on the first boss just watch where the thief is about to move to, on the second make sure to not stand/stack with zombies or your party members, on the third boss watch for beeeeeg slashes and get into the crater to dodge the masive aoe. make sure to stand with the ur own rubble for the stack mechanic he has as well
these are the only reasons I can see for a wipe unless ur the tank and possibly missing tankbusters

is the coffee biscuit thing a meme or still good? Is it worth the time to go harvest the mats myself or just buy off MB? HQ on my server has them 800gil in copious amounts
vestal needle
how do would I find out which plot is vacant?
agile laurel
check the main aetheryte page to see where on the list there's a pricetag
but that won't necessarily mean it's available for purchase yet
twilit arch
no, the big crystal in the major city
either interact with that assuming you've done the appropriate quest to add the original 3 housing areas to the aetheryte
or talk to the ferry
silver ruin
coffee biscuit is good if you make it yourself, if you buy off mb you lose like half of what you'd get @fierce cobalt
i mean, its still not bad, but you're looking at half profits or so at 800g-1k each
twilit arch
yes
fierce cobalt
Whats the bare minimum of ilvl gear I should be looking at for hand and land if i want to make coffee biscuits myself? is overmelding materia a must?
twilit arch
just going to say
that none of the plots on that ward list are available
so you dont have to check all plots
just click on each ward tab
also there's a pretty strong chance that no plots are available due to auto demolish being turned off
fierce cobalt
so in total he has to check 48 screens by that logic kael? 24 wards x2 plot screens
twilit arch
which takes like a second to do
fierce cobalt
alright, just wondering if there was anything easier than that

Housing prices are the same on every data centre.

so whats the difference between 5th class and 1st class
outer plank
what does minimum pricing mean though?
twilit arch
if a plot stays up long enough it will reduce in price
min price is the lowest it can go
outer plank
ah, so if no one buys the land then it devalues till someone does?
twilit arch
yes
outer plank
does it ever get to that point since housing is so popular?

Can someone explain to me how do you get Gatherer Scrip?
🤔
I'm a bit new to the concept
plain python
you have a skill called Collector's glove. When you open a node menu, you use it. Things that can be collected for scrips will available
heady knot
all these currency and switch gear is a mess .... any guides on this
plain python
you will have 30 wear to increase rating of the collected items. You have to hit minimum rating for NPC to trade it (you check the list at the collector apprasial)
zinc orbitBOT
vestal needle
is it still a random timer before certain plots are allow to be sold?
jade quartz
Yes
twilit arch
yes
vestal needle
thanks 😦

@heady knot how far are you into the game

Does this mean that if i dont log on for 45 days, 80% of the gil used to purchase the land comes back to me?
if my house is destroyed?

Do you still get the Aetherite earring from buying the collector edition of shadow bringers?

No
The aetherite earring was part of the pre-order bonus package, not the collector's edition.

Right... is there other way to get it?

There is not

leaden ginkgo
I have a question about using ps4 controller to play WHM anybody finds difficult to move the cursor around between healing and DPS? It’s my second day being whm, I added a mouse to catch up the speed still find not fast enough...
outer plank
i use the d-pad
but yeah
its rough buddy
i don't normally heal in general as a remote player
leaden ginkgo
Right?! Same feel here
outer plank
but someone else can probably give you more advice on that since im just leveling for the sake of leveling
leaden ginkgo
I think keyboard will be so much easier to do healing
My main is BLM so much easier
small marsh
So like if you’re soloing stuff in the overworld how do you do monks positionals
All the mobs are always facing you how do you get to their rear
autumn oriole
Just don’t do positionals unless the mob is casting or you have true north
small marsh
So you more or less just try to do every positional when you’re in a party with a tank
And you’ll not use them much when solo
autumn oriole
Do positionals if you are not holding aggro
outer plank
@small marsh riddle of earth, true north
small marsh
I just started so I don’t have those skills yet
So basidaly I can’t ignore positional for now
Kek
autumn oriole
You can also squeeze a positional or two when the mob is casting
outer plank
if you just started, just not being able to do posistionals on outter world enemies isnt a big deal
or even in general
small marsh
So it’s basically a bossing mechanic
outer plank
since they die fast enough
small marsh
Intended to be used in a party
autumn oriole
It’s not a big deal since overworld mobs’ HP are designed for healers and tanks to be able to quickly kill anyway
small marsh
My lv10 conjurer still struggles Kek
outer plank
because its a level 10 conjurer with literally just stone as there only attack
stone and aero
outer plank
all the melee dps have positionals btw
small marsh
Monk just has.... more
outer plank
its just that monk whole gimmick is that they have them on almost all their skills
open coral
I have a question about using ps4 controller to play WHM anybody finds difficult to move the cursor around between healing and DPS? It’s my second day being whm, I added a mouse to catch up the speed still find not fast enough...
@leaden ginkgo I don't personally have a problem? d-pad lets me scroll through my party quickly, and then I can just... tab back to enemies with R1/L1.
leaden ginkgo
Why cant I roll for need in puppets bunker for healing items?
open coral
Are you in there as a healer?
open coral
Yes, it's one item per week.
open coral
That's... normal?
leaden ginkgo
Well, im surprised cause you can always roll in copied fact
open coral
Raids are always weekly loot locked until the next tier comes out.
brave ravine
you can always get better gear from bozja
leaden ginkgo
Very well then, I wont roll until its halfrobe I guess
brave ravine
unlimited
open coral
If they're looking for glamour that won't help.
small marsh
So I’m way over leveled and I’ve a job nearing lv80 while still in HW
Is there any benefit to buying lv80 gears on marketboard 🤔
Anything better than tome gear
open coral
Not really. I mean, you can, and it will last you the entire way through the end of the MSQ, but once you unlock endgame stuff, you'll replace it pretty quickly.
Remember that all of the content you do is scaled for the stats for that level.
So when you do instances for MSQ, your gear will ilevel sync.
small marsh
So idk what gear progression at lv80 is like
open coral
It would have some small benefit in the overworld though.
autumn oriole
You can oneshot overworld mobs from msq but they are very easy to kill already
small marsh
I’ve basically been using “free” gear like ironworks and shire
Js there an equivalent at 80
small marsh
That’s really easy to get
outer plank
@small marsh you know what tomestones are right?
open coral
Every expansion introduces three sets of tomestone gear over time. Currently we have Deepshadow gear (purchased with tomestones of phantasmagoria) and Crystarium gear (purchased with tomestones of allegory), with a third set to release in... 5.5? I think?
The Ironworks and Shire (and Scaevan at 70) gear are each expansion's third tomestone set.
small marsh
And those are better than anything you can buy with Gil?
outer plank
@open coral our 3rd set will be release next patch
open coral
Oh, it's 5.4
outer plank
in 5.5 allegories cap gets bumped to 900 a week
open coral
I can never remember if they add the third set in the even or the odd.
outer plank
be weird to add them on the last patch of an expansion
small marsh
Cause if there’s crafted gears that I can buy in MB that is better than the newest tome gear
open coral
If they're adding the next set in 5.4, then allegory will be uncapped at that point and the new tomestones introduced.
outer plank
this will b our final tier of gear minus the relic
small marsh
It makes sense to me that I would buy a piece
open coral
Crafted gear will ultimately never be better than the BEST tomestone/raid gear.
small marsh
But idk what gearing at 80 is like at all which is why I’m asking
open coral
If you're already 80 well before hitting the end of the MSQ, there is a small benefit from buying a HQ set of crafted 80 gear.
vast crown
maybe you should a level new job if this one is already reaching 80
open coral
But it's not really necessary.
outer plank
@small marsh poetics, are very important to gearing pre end game
every expansion is like this
small marsh
I mean if I do that then I can skip buying scaevan gear right
open coral
You have to reach the end of Stormblood's 4.0 to unlock the vendor for Scaevan gear.
But that will last you well into Shadowbringers content.
small marsh
Yeah so if I can equip lv80 gears before then
If I buy some
You can skip buying the scaevan gear right
open coral
Yes, if you want.
open coral
If he already has a level 80 character in HQ crafted 80 gear then he can.
small marsh
I’m confused
open coral
He said he's almost 80
open coral
MSQ level is irrelevant to buying crafted gear.
small marsh
So like
autumn oriole
You can but I’d rather use a level appropriate alt to progress msq, otherwise lots of exp will be wasted
vast crown
just buy noe ishgardian from mb
outer plank
... hol up? hes almost lv 80 but 58 msq? did you buy a character boost?
small marsh
No
open coral
Best level 80 tome gear is better than HQ crafted, yes.
small marsh
Leveling Roulettes
vast crown
you can’t buy the best tomestone gear, it’s msq locked
small marsh
Give like 1.5 levels a day
autumn oriole
Roulettes can easily overlevel
open coral
But you can't access that until you finish the MSQ entirely.
small marsh
It took me almost a week
To do all the post ARR stuff
And during that time I got like lv65
Even before starting the HW expansion
vast crown
how much gil do you have
small marsh
Cause 7 days ish of roulettes
open coral
Roulettes will push your xp gains really fast.
small marsh
Like 2.5mil
outer plank
i didnt think i was that absurd on prefered world
small marsh
Have you done it recently?
outer plank
even without armory bonus to
vast crown
neo ishgardian is the current best crafted gear and best you can access right now, and prices are falling. but it’s still like 80k-90k a piece in my world
small marsh
Cause I assume they make leveling easier with each expansion
vast crown
so up to you
autumn oriole
I’d suggest picking up red mage or samurai and make use of the msq/dungeon exp
open coral
Even on a non-preferred world or without the buff a week of doing all roulettes can get you like, 7 levels.
small marsh
I have a RDM at 67
open coral
More at lower levels.
small marsh
So now I’m leveling other classes too
👀
I was planning to use my GNB and RDM to do all the roulettes except the leveling roulette
Cause I like them most
And start using leveling roulette for all the other jobs
open coral
Honestly though, if you've only got 2.5M gil, I'd save it and just stick to poetics gear until level 75, then start replacing it with dungeon gear.
autumn oriole
Dancer and gunbreaker starts are level 60, which should also be fine
autumn oriole
They are only 2 levels ahead of your msq
small marsh
Yeah that’s my main source of poetics at the moment
plain python
does masked carnival sync gear?
open coral
Yeah, unfortunately.
small marsh
My GNB got super over levels from those cause adventurer in need
open coral
AiN isn't actually a huge boost to xp
small marsh
So I’ve been doing every roulette with it cause fast queue and extra Gil
It’s like 15% more
It’s mostly nice cause instant queue times
Usually less than 10 seconds
open coral
It's worth about 15% of the daily bonus, but you only get the daily bonus once.
It's not worth doing any roulette more than once per day.
shrewd juniper
Hi I have a question. I'm trying to do a job quest with an instanced fight but after I clear the instance it gets bugged, the instance timer still counts down, I can't do any actions, and the next quest doesn't appear. I've tried abandoning the quest and retrying and relogging puts me at the start of the instance with the same result. Does anyone know how I could fix this?
small marsh
I don’t do them more than once a day but when I do all 5 I’ve got, then that’s 1.5 levels a day
open coral
Which quest and instance @shrewd juniper ?
shrewd juniper
It is the keeping the oath quest
open coral
For Paladin?
shrewd juniper
yeah
open coral
Give me a sec, let me look a few things up.
I'm going to go through the obvious possibilities, so bear with me @shrewd juniper
outer plank
its the one with the book, its confusing
i remember doing it awhile ago
but its not bugged you just gotta do something, i forget

First question: when you say you clear the instance - do you mean you cleared the fight against the voidsent? Or did you fight the assassins too?
