#

level 56

#

was planning to get a sub tomorrow, but suddenly i clicked login and play and i was baffled

#

Also im in Mor Dhana and before i remember i could not fly there, now i can fly ?

outer plank
#

in 5.3, aka this patch

#

they made flying in arr zones a thing

#

after finishing castrum

open coral
#

As long as you've completed the MSQ "The Ultimate Weapon" you can fly in all ARR zones now.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ahh ok im at " Still Waters" i got a prompt to abondon and take the quest again too

#

that there were some changes

#

to the quest

open coral
#

Yes, they removed and adjusted a LOT of quests in the ARR and post-ARR questlines.

#

So now it's a lot more streamlined.

leaden ginkgo
#

That sounds amazing, will check out how the stuff goes in this free login campaign

open coral
#

Also of note, the Crystal Tower raid is now required content before reaching the Shadowbringers expansion content. For new players there's a specific wall in the MSQ where you can't progress, but for older players it will simply prompt you to complete the raid series (if you haven't done so) before allowing you to pick up the quest to begin ShB.

leaden ginkgo
#

No idea what either of those are, but i stopped playing before this changes so i guess i will eventually hit the wall ?

little swift
#

Yes

open ember
#

It'll stop you before you can do anything else to go finish those raids

#

Or any other msq changes they made

leaden ginkgo
#

All right thanks a lot for all the info !

open coral
#

It will specifically tell you "you cannot progress in the main story until you have completed this specific series of quests"

#

And that series of quests relates to unlocking the Crystal Tower (Labyrinth of the Ancients, Syrcus Tower, World of Darkness) Alliance raids.

Is it normal that sirensong sea gives me more exp than violet tides?

It doesn't

open coral
#

Did you... maybe complete a weekly challenge (5 commendations or 5 dungeons) when you ran Sirensong?

#

That's the only thing I could think of that would make a lower level instance apparently award more xp than a higher level one.

halcyon glen
#

Or, potentially, you had Rested for Sirensomg

#

And weโ€™re getting 150% exp

#

Whereas you had used it all by Shisui

#

@cedar compass

gritty oracle
#

Is it true that Goblin, Diabolos and Malboro are having Ishgard fates every 8 hours nonstop?

raven sage
#

I doubt they were having them nonstop but they did hit the final section of restoration for this period which gives you a few fates back to back until they're done

faint flare
#

There was a screenshot of Malboro close to failing a fate so

#

I dont think its known what happens if one fails

raven sage
#

If the fates fail it just resets and you have to do that one again

#

The have to be properly completed

faint flare
#

Probably why there's fates constantly cause they keep failing

#

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

verbal rune
#

For detonator skill from MCH, do I use it, then overheat and spam heat blast and gauss blast?

faint flare
#

For wildfire you use 5 heat blasts + 1 gcd

#

Naturally weave Gauss and richo so you dont overcap charges on those

verbal rune
#

Okay

green grail
#

you can use wildfire after one heatblast too, it should still get the full value unless you have high ping

verbal rune
#

Doesn't his damage increase with each use of a weapon skill?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You aim to use 6 gcds per wildfire

verbal rune
#

It can also be the same skill multiple time, yeah?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Easiest is 5 heat blasts + 1. Or 4 heat blasts +2 unless your ping is high

verbal rune
#

Got it

#

While the rook torret, I just deploy it and it acts alone, right?

faint flare
#

Yes

verbal rune
#

So it's pretty much: basic combo > over heat and rook when possible > heatblast until overheat ends?

faint flare
#

Rook/Queen is usually used around raid buffs. Rook specifically has slightly weirder scaling and is better around 70-90 gauge

#

Bit always Hypercharge with wildfire

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there any other way to buy subscription my credit card won't work

faint flare
#

Crysta using PayPal

#

1 crysta is 1 cent

kind burrow
#

is there any use to not extracting materia?

gritty oracle
#

oh lol yea Malboro sucks at fates lol

gusty mango
#

@faint flare Can you maybe send a link of that website ?

manic flare
#

why are you playing in marlboro? i thought u were in eu?

faint flare
#

Wut site

patent citrus
#

Crysta maybe

faint flare
#

Its on the Mogstation

gritty oracle
#

I live in EU, but play on Malboro

leaden ginkgo
#

@faint flare I don't have a PayPal

#

u can buy a paysafecard to buy crysta

leaden ginkgo
#

@leaden ginkgo what's that

#

oh yeah and speaking of crysta. I'm thinking of spending some on outfits but I was wondering are the clothes dyeable ?

#

uhh

#

sec

manic flare
#

i believe you can search for the particular item in question on lodestone and it will tell you if it's dyable

leaden ginkgo
#

alright got it, ty

twilit arch
#

you can also hover over the items on the store page

#

and it'll bring up the lodestone tooltip

kind eagle
wispy osprey
#

can anyone suggest what armour or weapons i should grind for as a lancer ive only just started playing so im a complete noob lmao

faint flare
#

You dont grind for stuff until cap. Story, job quests and stuff you get from dungeons will be fine

radiant sierra
#

I just tried to make a quick rez macro but it didn't work, do I need to add a wait between quickcast and raise to account for animation lock?

#

here's the macro

#

/action "Swiftcast"
/action "Raise" <t>

faint flare
#

Yes

sinful mist
#

you need at least something between quickcast and raise

#

or you double spam it

faint flare
#

Also dont use swiftcast raise macros

gritty oracle
#

If I'm just powerleveling my retainer with quick ventures, do I have to bother with keeping up their gear or just slap on lv1 stuff until 50? (I want to reset my botanist retainer into miner for thanalan topsoil.

faint flare
#

Its so much slower

radiant sierra
#

ok

sinful mist
#

well if you have both without wait it's not slower i think

#

first press does quickcast, second raise

faint flare
#

If you use both skills normally then its faster

#

Que to skill queing

sinful mist
#

assuming you have both in a position where you don'T have to think about it ye

gritty oracle
#

Also there's a big chance the swiftcast raise macro won't go off correctly because Raise is a GCD and can1t go off if your GCD is still rolling, so you have to have godlike timing to minimize clipping. I personall recommend the raise macro to just be the Raise button and some /p text to let your team know you rezzed.

faint flare
#

Swift should be in a easily accessible spot to begin with

#

You do end up using it often

gritty oracle
#

If I'm just powerleveling my retainer with quick ventures, do I have to bother with keeping up their gear or just slap on lv1 stuff until 50? (I want to reset my botanist retainer into miner for thanalan topsoil.

twilit arch
#

i would not do quick ventures unless you really don't want to bother giving your retainer gear

gritty oracle
#

Isn't quick venture faster than 18hr since quick grants a level every 4-5 hours?

twilit arch
#

you do the specific 1hr ventures

#

quick ventures exp is random and based on the item brought back so its not consistent at all

gritty oracle
#

Specific 1hr ventures? Like the actual gathering ones?

twilit arch
#

yes

#

which is why said i wouldn't do quick ventures unless you dont want to bother with gearing your retainer since the targeted ventures have ilvl/gathering requirements

gritty oracle
#

Yeah fair I guess. I think I have enough random crap laying around to make it gear.
Also, if my gathering log has it checked off, the retainer can gather it, even if I haven't gathered it since I reset it, right?

twilit arch
#

yes, so long as you've gathered the item once

#

retainer can be sent out for it

gritty oracle
#

Cool

#

Ty!

wispy osprey
#

@faint flare thanks!

leaden ginkgo
twilit arch
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Okie how long does it take to get the code?

twilit arch
#

just make sure though its same region as your account

#

digital code should be e-mailed shortly to you after payment is accepted, atleast thats my experience with amazon

leaden ginkgo
#

Are they cards all the same for pc and ps4

#

They ain't separate ones for each one are they

twilit arch
#

time cards aren't separated by pc/ps4

sour viper
#

I would like to ask you something: I am currently on free trial so I need to buy the complete edition which is 40 EURO on the square enix website, but what happen if I buy the key on other sites like G2A which is 24 EURO? There are many of these sites. Are like scam?

twilit arch
#

do not buy from sites like g2a

#

they're not an authorized third party site and if its found that the key you bought from them was bought with a stolen credit card, your account is going to be banned no questions asked

radiant sierra
#

related question

agile laurel
#

g2a and suchlike sites are notorious for buying keys with stolen credit cards

radiant sierra
#

If I buy the complete edition I get a month sub for free. Is that month from the time of purchase? or first login after or what?

agile laurel
#

it opens your account up for serious action against it if you risk it

twilit arch
#

the 30 days free starts when you apply the code to your account

leaden ginkgo
#

Just buy from the official site๐Ÿ‘€

radiant sierra
#

ok thanks

sour viper
#

understood, ok thanks

raven lantern
twilit arch
#

its a code given to you

#

so you can give it to someone else if you want

raven lantern
#

awesome thanks!!

#

and as long as they play on NA server (for example aether) even if they don't live in NA, it works?

twilit arch
#

no, it needs to match their account's region

raven lantern
#

oh i see! okay

twilit arch
#

so they would need to log into the mogstation and look at that to make sure

raven lantern
#

glad there's a way to double-check, thank you!

crimson wind
#

How long will it take for all raid buffs to align after opener?

#

360s?

faint flare
#

If everything is used on cooldown, everything aligns again at 6mins

#

Causw the 2min cooldowns wont be up at the 3min mark

#

Ofc pots wont be up

outer palm
#

Can't join Frontier training... looks like I did the quest, im lvl 33, gladiator....

#

even the training is locked

twilit arch
#

by frontier training, do you mean frontlines?

outer palm
#

oh yeah

twilit arch
#

that would be because you haven't unlocked your job yet

#

can only enter pvp as a job, not a class

robust crow
#

go unlock paladin through the story

outer palm
#

god forbid something is interesting and not locked behind useless talking and cutscenes

remote lintel
#

well

#

everything in the game is locked behind story

#

so

robust crow
#

if you've never done ff14 pvp before

#

I highly suggest you don't just queue right away

#

because you will be fucking lost and half your skills aren't going to make sense

#

they give you all your skills up to level 80 except they trim out half of them

faint flare

Well he'll have plenty of tine to sort out his skills with the 8 hour que time

remote lintel
robust crow
#

lol

outer palm
#

thank god I didnt pay for this shit

robust crow
#

pvp isn't really one of ff14's selling points

#

I don't understand your issue with everything being locked behind story when it's the main allure of the game

Hey guys, I'm interested in streaming FFXIV, but I've never streamed anything before. Can anyone offer me any pointers, or a site that explains the stuff involved? I know Twitch exists, but I've only seen a couple videos on the site, never mind used it myself for streaming. Any help would be appreciated, and it ought to be a lot of fun when I get it going. So anyone interested in that, hope you look forward it ^_^

robust crow
#

helps a bit to know what your goal with streaming is

#

are you streaming for fun? hoping to make it big?

open rivet
#

Twitch exists
If you're interested in Twitch, wait out the DMCA stuff, else you might be off the platform faster than you can say "A rusty Roegadyn is really really mean" 3 times.

other than that, just be talkactive - viewers usually want to be interacted with

robust crow
#

what kind of content in ff14 are you planning on streaming?

turbid sinew
#

Mostly for fun. What I'm thinking of doing is RPing my WoL while they're going through the game, and the commentary would be first-person narration as the events unfold. To give you an example of the perspective, the commentary would be something like:

"Today I'm finally going to join the guild and be an adventurer like the heroes of old!"

remote lintel
#

twitch is the biggest streaming platform and youre most likely to get an audience on there

turbid sinew
#

Got it, I'll try Twitch whenever the DMCA stuff gets resolved. It's mainly an experiment for me to have fun and get some confidence just talking, and learn to be able to put my voice out there in front of an audience. Maybe other people will enjoy it, we'll see.

Does Trick Attack debuff on Ninja affect LB damage

we don't know, but it leans towards no(?)

That's good

proven sparrow
#

i want a harp glam for bow, would the ARR relic weapon or the HWS anima weapon be quicker to grind

remote lintel
#

HW

twilit arch
#

depends on what stage of ARR relic you want to go to

#

if you just want the first step, which is a harp bow, ARR relic really doesn't take that long to do

#

even up to atma, they're both pretty similar time frames imo

granite spruce
#

What is the best materia in order for Summoner at max level?

twilit arch
#

Crit > DH >= Det > SpS

granite spruce
#

Pardon?

twilit arch
#

critical hit > direct hit >= determination > spell speed

slate arrow
#

SMN doesn't really benefit from spell speed so the best materia is Crit, followed by direct hit or determination depending on your gear

#

ok ty

both of you

agile laurel
#

can passage of arms be flashed in a similar manner to ast bubble?

remote lintel
#

its like a channeled defensive iirc

faint flare
#

Yes

remote lintel
#

the ast bubble has an effect that persists after it disappears

faint flare
#

It can be flashed

little swift
#

It flashes just as well as bubble

#

Persists a couple seconds after

gleaming mist
#

note that while the damage reduction buff persists for ~5 seconds afterwards, the 100% block rate buff that you get while channeling passage disappears instantly

mental garnet
#

i've heard caster LB1 is slightly higher potency than ranged LB1, but both wikis say they're the same at 1650

#

anyone know for sure?

raw solstice
#

caster LB is stronger than ranged LB. The potency numbers listed on wikis are old/outdated and even when they were listed a ways back they weren't even correct

mental garnet

mmk

#

thanks

#

Does SE hate BLMs? I don't get gear, I feel bosses always specifically target me when I BLM, But the splosions' are fun ๐Ÿ˜„

#

1st run in Puppets cove and 0 BLM drops... and I didn't get anything

crimson wind
#

anecdotal

remote lintel
#

for a single run in an alliance raid its totally possible that nothing drops for you

#

each boss has a set pool they choose from

patent citrus
#

I think i ran 3 times to get a gear for my healer alt ๐Ÿ˜‚ still didn't drop. Ended up just getting for my dps alt

flat quail
#

If I didn't get anything, I can run it as much as I want for the weekly, yeah?

#

until I get something that is

remote lintel
#

if you didnt roll for gear loot yes

flat quail
#

cool

little swift
#

can always check the duty finder for that instance

#

if it says Reward Received (3/3)

jade lava
#

so uhh, sort of a subjective question, but just how hard are the ultimate raids compared to savages in your guys' opinions?

little swift
#

you've gotten everything

#

ultimates are both an endurance test

#

and focus tests

#

you haev to execute so many mechanics at once over a 15-18 minute fight

in ucob and uwu, depending on the spot, they can be very recoverable

Savages are for the really good players.

@plush hound this is just untrue

#

savage doesn't exactly have a high bar of skill entry

#

lots of people can coast on by and clear most of the floors

#

and your sense of self-worth is irrelevant to your interest in ultimates

patent citrus
#

Yeah, don't have that kind of mentality :/

little swift
#

please do not project opinions like that as fact here

patent citrus
#

pretty sure all contents are for everyone, just need patience

little swift
#

nor is it appropriate to shitpost it here

#

any one who can access the content is equally capable of clearing it

#

its a matter of patience and dedication, as well as finding a group you can mesh well with (especially for ultimates)

dry jolt
#

So I'm somewhat confused...I bought level ~60 crafting gear in Kugane for my level 62-63 crafters....and my stats are way too low to reliably craft level 60 items while wearing it. I mean yeah, I can get it with very low quality, but thats about it. No collectibles or or ishgard restoration stuff

#

all the guides say the vendor stuff should be fine.

patent citrus
#

would suggest unlocking collectables ๐Ÿค”

dry jolt
#

mainly this one

#

yeah, I was going for lazy using that to just grind out the levels, but stats aren't high enough to use the 50-60 macros

#

so collectibility is too low

wheat plume
#

enmity and aggro is the same?

plush hound
#

Yes khell

faint flare
#

Yes

patent citrus
#

i forgot ๐Ÿ˜‚ which food did you use?

#

blood boulabaise?

wheat plume
#

is more difficult to put aggro in a lot of enemies than in a little? stats of tank affect the max number of enemies?

patent citrus
#

same thing

#

just turn on enmity and spam aoe ๐Ÿค”

#

i think it's difficult if you don't hit all the enemies with your aoe

wheat plume
#

so a lvl 15 tank could put aggro in 20 enemies with no prob? I'm asking because sometimes people say a tank cant put aggro in too much mobs

patent citrus
#

well as lv 15 tank, you shouldn't have 20 enemies since you don't have a lot of cd at that level

plush hound
#

They can pull them. Survival is another story

wheat plume
#

haha, yeah, it was an example

patent citrus
#

should be no problem ๐Ÿ˜‚

dry jolt
wheat plume
#

so the only limit is how much damage at the same time can the tank resist

plush hound
#

But threat is independant for each mob.

wheat plume
#

But threat is independant for each mob.
@plush hound what is threat?

patent citrus
#

threat/hate/aggro/enmity ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

same thing

wheat plume
#

haha

dry jolt
#

Honestly my crafting problem is partially my own making...effectively leveled to 60 without learning how to craft, then at 60 you suddenly and rather rudely are forced to learn what you're doing. A combination of Road to 70 and Ishgard restoration

patent citrus
#

trust me, i was at the worse situation ๐Ÿ˜‚

faint flare
#

Tank stance multiplies all aggro gained by a stupid amount so as long as you're hitting mobs regularly, aka aoeing, you'll aggro everything

patent citrus
#

i didn't even learn my crafter job quest till i reached 80

dry jolt
#

Yeah my second class I'm playing (62) is Dancer, boom day 1 60 levels of skills on your hotbar

@patent citrus you didnt have manipulation that whole time?

what's the easiest healer to use? for someone who has onlyDPSd all his live and has 3 months of MMO experience

patent citrus
#

i started with scholar so it was easiest for me..

@wheat plume general consensus is white mage

#

its also the first healer you can be since it starts as a conj

I level'd ast and whm recently still lv 60ish.. people often died but I think i'm getting better

plush hound
#

The macros for crafting tend to be built around top tier gear. It could be a case that your stats just aren't high enough.

wheat plume
#

I'm starting with dark knight as my first tank. Does it get fun to use at lvl 80?

hasty musk
#

DRK's got the coolest DoT in the game at 80

patent citrus
#

I think so hmm, fun is subjective

plush hound
#

WHM is the most direct. Damage gets heals. SCH is built around preparation

wheat plume
#

DRK's got the coolest DoT in the game at 80
@hasty musk great

patent citrus
#

but DRK is the poster boy of the latest expansion

#

the job action show off got a lot of cheers from the audience of fanfest

#

so that's a tell that many people like them ๐Ÿ˜‚

outer plank
#

@wheat plume wdym? salted earth?

hasty musk
#

Living Shadow

patent citrus
#

Fray

hasty musk
#

literally I think the only thing that got more cheers than DRK was PLD gap closer

outer plank
#

i didnt think people considered that as a DoT

hasty musk
#

I mean it basically is

faint flare
#

It basically is

#

A glorified dot

#

Like Queen

wheat plume
#

@wheat plume wdym? salted earth?
@outer plank sorry, dont know what salted earth means, I'm not at end game and english is not my main language lol

patent citrus
#

yeah, you'll understand later ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

don't worry about it

obsidian patio
#

Itโ€™s one of DRKโ€™s actions.

outer plank
#

@wheat plume saltted earth is a drk ability

patent citrus
#

but you don't have to worry about DRK, it's the posterboy of ShB as you can see in the trailer

wheat plume
#

My DRK is at lvl 31 lol

#

I want to use DRK at ShB because of that, its awesome using DRG in Heavensward because there are 2 azure dragoons lol

#

I've seen people use macros for crafting, but I'm having a lot of fun doing it without them (I have 6 crafters at lvl 40-50) Is there any advantage in doing it without macros?

patent citrus
#

yeah, some people find the rotation is fun

twilit arch
#

automates the process

#

is all macros realistically do

patent citrus
#

in the beginning, i would suggest doing so without macros ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

but after you are making 1000x items later

#

it helps with the repetition

twilit arch
#

there's a little more flexibility in doing it manual since you can choose to make use of tricks

#

but most macros usually account for how much cp you're going to need

little swift
#

macros do allow for consistency in your skill usage, so you don't end up pressing the wrong thing in the rotation by accident

plush hound
#

When you end up having to craft a LOT of stuff in one shot, a macro comes in handy.

low zephyr
#

anyway i can find a try hard fc?

#

i just hit level 80 and i want to get into this game for reals. and grind away

wheat plume
#

macros do allow for consistency in your skill usage, so you don't end up pressing the wrong thing in the rotation by accident
@little swift Yeah, but I use Tricks of the Trade and Hasty Touch, and I've been thinking of implementing them in macros, but doing it 1000 times makes me see better ways of doing it xD

faint flare
#

Shout/advertise that you're looking for a higber end FC

patent citrus
#

FC is usually for social stuffs

little swift
#

can always check your relevant datacenter recruitment channels in here as well

patent citrus
#

for tryhard raid stuff, would suggest looking for a static

low zephyr
#

thank you guys

little swift
#

@little swift Yeah, but I use Tricks of the Trade and Hasty Touch, and I've been thinking of implementing them in macros, but doing it 1000 times makes me see better ways of doing it xD
@wheat plume you have to consider that relying on rng to save your butt isn't as good as well, though manual does allow you to fish for procs and better conditions

silk summit
#

I know blue has a provoke, but they don't have anything like a shirk, do they? How do you properly tank swap with them?

wheat plume
#

@wheat plume you have to consider that relying on rng to save your butt isn't as good as well, though manual does allow you to fish for procs and better conditions
@little swift I suposse macros doent's use hasty touch nor tricks of the trade, right? So with macros you need to have better stats for crafting?

little swift
#

not necessarily better stats, but just smarter use of your CP

#

that's why sites like teamcraft exist

#

for you to test your rotation out

faint flare
#

You just turn off mighty guard briefly or the new tank spams like Look or White Wind for aggro

wheat plume
#

what is teamcraft?

little swift
#

its a website that shares community rotations, allow for making of lists, as well as simulates the crafting environment

plush hound
#

Teamcraft is a website that allows you to build and test rotations

little swift
#

so that you can test a rotation and such

dry jolt
#

do ephemeral nodes appear at random times during their spawn windows?

#

I where one is supposed to be and it aint

obsidian patio
#

You have to โ€œgatherโ€ from the nearby nodes for it to spawn

dry jolt
#

There aren't any nodes nearby

obsidian patio
#

Though all you need to actually do is open up the gathering window for the node and move onto the next node and itโ€™ll eventually spawn

#

Which node are you trying to get?

faint flare
#

The nearby nodes are the ring of nodes your lv1 location skill points you to

dry jolt

I think I found the issue. One page said 9am and 9pm the other says just 9am

#

Gold ore

obsidian patio

Thatโ€™s not an ephemeral node

#

Just a normal unspoiled node

#

And yeah, ARR unspoiled nodes arenโ€™t both AM and PM, theyโ€™re one of the two

Crafting is harder than a combat class, so damned many little intricacies

ARR is weird and inconsistent

fiery fjord

is there anyway to disabled the camera from auto centrering

outer plank
#

@dry jolt itโ€™s easy, you got things that raises your quality, and things that raises your progress

#

Youโ€™re usually using the same 6 or 7 skills in end game crafting as new skills like ground work tends to put others to shame

remote lintel

@fiery fjord use standard control scheme

how does stun work? i know repeated actions have a weaker stun each time but how long does it usually take before the original lenght is back?

As long as there's more than like 2/3 mobs, you holy

is it the only AoE damage WHM gets?

Assize and the blood lily skill are aoe as well

uhhhh

Thats the one

They're not as spammable as holy due to cooldown/resources

what do I need to do to switch from arcanist to gunbreaker?

go straight to Gridania or do I need to pick a job before it first

Dancer - Eager Lominsan at Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (9,12), quest name is "Shall We Dance".

arcanist doesnt upgrade into gunbreaker if thats what youre thinking

job upgrades only apply to ARR classes

arcanist upgrades to scholar or summoner

Do I actually have to farm these Tortured/Sorrowful/Harrowing Memories of the Dying in HW zones or can I also farm them while doing Bozjan Front struggles and events? I'm um... confused as to why new ShB content has me farming HW FATEs like it's 2015 again

gleaming mist
#

you can farm them in bozja as well

#

it's just an alternative if you don't want to be in bozja

plush hound

Bozjan Front mobs (not just struggles and events) can drop them.

Tortured Memories come from the south section, Sorrowful from the middle section, and Harrowing from the north section

Does anyone happen to remember offhand where reshade by default saves it's screenshots? I'm trying to find mine and I accidentally entered my password wrong too many times so I can't check in game ๐Ÿ˜”

mild bloom
#

Just a quick question to help me save a lot of time if I mess up. Im planning to focus on a class the can do support/tank (mainly) whilst doing dmg if needed and was wondering what class that may be so I can focus on that rather then picking a class that Iโ€™m going to want to change later.

Pls and ty

remote lintel
#

if you want to tank then tank

#

they all do about the same damage

forest laurel
#

tanks don't do "support" all that much

#

they just grab aggro and use mitigation when needed

#

that's it

#

sometimes move the boss

remote lintel
#

depends what they mean by support

mild bloom
#

See Iโ€™m recently got this game and I understand paladin / dark knight can tank but out of the two I believe paladin is more party support while dark knight is self support. Because of this I was going to focus on paladin but since Iโ€™m new to this game Iโ€™m not sure if Iโ€™m missing any other classes that would be better

remote lintel
#

no

forest laurel
#

you can play as every job in the game on one character

remote lintel
#

the most support-y thing about paladin is that it has a heal

#

but you dont use it often

fresh lodge
#

Eh

remote lintel
#

like ever

little swift
#

intervention/cover are good single target "support" tools

forest laurel
#

and a pretty alright shield on your entire party when you get healed

fresh lodge
#

Both tanks have a few support skills

remote lintel
#

each tank has similar defensive skills

little swift
#

passage of arms/divine veil are good aoe ones

fast talon
#

dont paladins also have the wings of light thing or whatever

mild bloom
#

Yes but I want to focus on one class until Iโ€™m comfortable enough to swap to other classes

fast talon
#

im not high enough level but ive seen it before

forest laurel
#

yeah passage of arms

#

!action passage of arms

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Passage of Arms** : lvl 70 PLD (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases block rate to 100% and creates a designated area in a cone behind you in which party members will only suffer 85% of all damage inflicted.
Duration: 18s
Effect ends upon using another action or moving (including facing a different direction).
Cancels auto-attack upon execution.

fresh lodge
#

Just pick whichever tank looks the coolest for you

remote lintel
#

^

mild bloom
#

Alrighty ty

forest laurel
#

all the tanks function pretty much the same with some minor differences

fresh lodge
#

Or if you're just starting out, pick Gladiator since you can't pick up DRK until Ishgard

remote lintel
#

again, all tanks have similar defensive skills

#

they can all shield other people

#

and themselves

little swift
#

paladins cannot shield themselves ๐Ÿค”

#

they have a shield

#

and veil spreads to others

#

but it doesn't shield themself

#

block =/= shield too in this game

remote lintel
#

i meant they have a skill that absorbs/reduces dmg on themselves

#

sure they dont have an actual shield

fresh lodge
#

Thats damage reduction, not a shield

remote lintel
#

i didnt mean shield in the technical sense

fresh lodge
#

You should use correct terminology

remote lintel
#

they each have skills that shields/blocks/absorbs dmg/reduces dmg for other people and themselves

left sedge
#

Does ffxiv go on sale soon?

bronze narwhal
#

How do you check which world is the preferred one?

remote lintel
bronze narwhal
#

Ohh thank you

fast talon
#

quick question, i just got my first beast tribe in SB, does SB beast tribe follow the same rule as HW that when you rank up, you get an extra three quests for that day?

little swift
#

yes

#

only the ARR ones are the weird ones

#

the SHB ones will follow the same trend

fast talon
#

okay so need some advice, im already on my last three allowances for the day but i already unlocked the quest to rank up. if i do the three daily quests and the rank up quest but dont turn any of them in, will i still be able to get six quests tomorrow?

remote lintel
#

you will have to complete the 3 quests before you can pick up the new ones that day

little swift
#

turn in your current 3 quests

#

and just don't fully complete the rank up one

#

and do that tomorrow

fast talon
#

but wouldnt the reputation gained from the three quests be lost?

#

i know in HW they dont carry over, is it different in SB?

twilit arch
#

you could just turn it in all tomorrow

little swift
#

that too^

twilit arch
#

you'd get your 12 allowances once you turn in today's dailies

little swift
#

just make sure you do so, or you can't get any more quests

fast talon
#

yeah that was my plan, so if i do that, i can still get six quests tomorrow because of the three quests of the day + the three quests gained from ranking up?

#

I see, thanks, just wanted to make sure

little swift
#

yes

fast talon
#

after grinding the HW beast tribe quests because I put them aside im trying to be a bit more efficient in SB

robust crow
#

quick question

#

so regarding alts

#

if someone wanted to get a second alt up and running for the purposes of being a part of two statics

#

what's the fastest possible way

#

buy level + story skip?

little swift
#

Yup

#

You still have to power through shb

robust crow
#

can you buy just the story skip and not a level skip?

#

and just level the slow way

little swift
#

If you want to spend time leveling thats up to you

#

Obviously its slower

robust crow
#

story is probably the slower one though

little swift
#

But its what you value

robust crow
#

so probably better value

little swift
#

Mhmm

#

The story skip saves the most time/effort

robust crow
#

if you bought just stormblood story skip, does it include ARR and HW

#

or only stb

little swift
#

It completes it all

#

Brings you right to the start of shb

robust crow
#

so you'd be a level 1 at ShB

gloomy ice
#

Also now auto completes CT quest chain. It didnโ€™t do that until 5.3.

little swift
#

Yes meaning you cant actually progress shb story

#

Because you dont meet level req

robust crow
#

that's funny

leaden ginkgo
#

If I would transfer data cemter/worlds... Which one would you recommend for European player?

remote lintel
#

doesnt matter

#

unless youre french or german

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh, I see. I was thinking of Odin tho, but not quite sure I visit Odin a lot and limsa is always over populated, at least during the time I play

robust crow
#

follow your heart

i personally wouldn't jump to a new server unless you find friends there first

desert oracle
#

are there any shortcuts for talking in cwls in similar vein to how party chat can be /p

twilit arch
#

/cwl#

leaden ginkgo
#

I have a question about beginner whm, is it normal to feel stressful and a bit overwhelming to first time playing whm without any experience as a healer in mmorpg? Iโ€™m getting better still feel lots of pressure during battle in dungeons.

remote lintel
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Anybody has the same feeling?

#

Ah not just me

remote lintel
#

i did at first

#

once you realize healing is 80% just spamming one button it goes away

leaden ginkgo
#

My hands were so cold coz I tried hard to keep up the speed of damage

remote lintel
#

you dont need to keep people topped off

leaden ginkgo
#

O

ember moth
#

Any time you learn something new it can be stressful, bit I'd argue although white mage is certainly easier then scholar or even astrologian it's not pressing just one button

warped nest
#

Use your healing spells on yourself, and get an rough idea of how much it can heal

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok ok

ember moth
#

Anyways, on a side note, is there specific requirements for getting the retainer gathering pets? Or just any quick venture has a chance

warped nest
#

Assuming your basic single heal heals 500, If your party member took 200 damage but isn't getting hit anyway, just let them be

leaden ginkgo
#

I see

warped nest
#

If your tank is taking damage from dungeon mobs, then just make sure they are close to 90-95 percent health

#

the more experienced you become, the more leeway you have

ember moth
#

Also generally speaking unless there's unavoidable damage healing dps isint a high priority unless they are below half

#

And sometimes even then it's not a priority

warped nest
#

!action Regen

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Regen** : lvl 35 WHM (500 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Grants healing over time effect to target.
Cure Potency: 200
Duration: 18s

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah sometimes I donโ€™t even know itโ€™s my healing speed/ power is good enough or my tank took too much mobs once and run off like a wind, it happens so often

warped nest
#

Regen has a total of 1200 cure potency, but it is gradual 200 x 6, it tick once every 3 second

remote lintel
#

your tank should be using mitigation

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah itโ€™s normal to be stressful at first

#

I cast regen to tank at the every beginning of battle

little swift
#

Hopefully your gear isn't bad either

leaden ginkgo
#

It doesnโ€™t help that sometimes at low levels you may get tanks who donโ€™t even use mitigation and you have to carry them

little swift
#

That just sets healing to hard mode for no reason

leaden ginkgo
#

I update my gears after every dungeon

warped nest
#

So you need to decide if someone needed heal at all, if they don't, just leave them alone, but if they do then you decide: if they need a heal right away so you use Cure, or if they are not in imminent danger, you can use a regen and let them slowly recover health

little swift
#

Are you using the gear that gives the right stats?

leaden ginkgo
#

True good point

little swift
#

Look for pieces that give mind

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes mind and piety are chosen to consider to buy the gear

little swift
#

Dont buy vendor gear

#

Its nq and gimped in stats

warped nest
#

What's your current level?

leaden ginkgo
#

Market/ dungeon drops I equipped is this good enough?

ember moth
#

It also helps if you at the begining of a duengon let people know that you are new to healing. Most tanks will pull back on heavy pulls a bit

leaden ginkgo
#

Me lv39

little swift
#

Main story rewards and dungeon gear and job quests

leaden ginkgo
#

Ye i wrote new whm here lol

little swift
#

Will be ok for firstjob

ember moth
#

Don't say new WHM say new to hwaling

leaden ginkgo
#

Oooo new to healing ok ๐Ÿ˜†

ember moth
#

Cause honestly a new WHM who understands how ff14 healing works even if they know nothing about whm will sil be at a bit advantage just by reading tooltips

leaden ginkgo
#

Ye u just hope the tanks donโ€™t run that fast then get so low HP I run to heal like crazy with sprint

#

I know it sounds nitpicky but it makes a differencea

warped nest

!action Cure II

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Cure II** : lvl 30 CNJ WHM (1000 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 700

hasty musk
#

healing gets easier the further you go and the more tools you get

warped nest
#

If you have to, use Cure II

ember moth
#

In this game once you understand core mechanics all classes are easy moatly

leaden ginkgo
#

Ye thatโ€™s my savoir Currii

warped nest
#

Cure II heals more in a single spellcast

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes true

ember moth
#

Tbh cure 1 is trash

leaden ginkgo
#

Medica is used depending on if all team was damaged

ember moth
#

If you can cure1 it you could of prob just stopped Regen and then dps'd

#

Dropped a Regen*

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah ok cure 1 doesnโ€™t help much

#

ye you get more tools and (usually more experienced people)

#

since at low level you get a bunch of people new to the game who step in bad stuff, donโ€™t use mitigation and whatever

little swift
#

Its not that it doesnt help much

leaden ginkgo
#

Lol th people part is a pure chance

ember moth
#

I don't think I cast cure 1 ever tbh at higher levels

little swift
#

Its that its less valuable when you have access to more powerful tools

leaden ginkgo
#

The more powerful tool means gears weapons?

little swift
#

No

#

More powerful skills

hasty musk
#

more skills and spells which do different stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah ok

little swift
#

!action benediction for example

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

Action not found, Kupo!

ember moth
#

Yeah in this gave every GCD is important. And if you can save a gcd by instead of using 2 cure 1s, by letting them take more damage then using 1 cure 2 you opened up a cast for something else

leaden ginkgo
#

So far just lucid dreaming is my best friend hahah

ember moth
#

In this game *

hasty musk
#

it always will be

leaden ginkgo
#

So with leveling up the more powerful abilities will soothe some of my whm healing anxiety I believe?

manic flare
hasty musk
#

pretty much, yeah

ember moth

Yes and no.

#

That just comes from playing more tbh

leaden ginkgo
#

Experience

little swift
#

It'll click over time

ember moth
#

Gives you better tools but you still need to make food decisions and understand game mechanics just the same

little swift
#

When you realize you'll be fine and the tank will be fine

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah True

ember moth
#

Good decisions fml

little swift
#

Food is largely irrelevant to most players

@twilit arch is that part of the default?

remote lintel
#

yes

#

yes

warped nest
#

Do drop by here again and ask questions here if you are not sure about anything

ember moth
#

Was a typo channy

warped nest
#

WHM will get a lot of healing spells and abilities that are kinda the same, but not exactly

exotic pumice
#

I cant figure out what demimateria is used for

warped nest
#

Crafting lvl 50 master recipes

twilit arch
#

which type of demimateria

exotic pumice
#

Any

warped nest
#

Demimateria recipes

ember moth
#

There's also a big difference between playing optimally and playing good enough, whm by far has the lowest skill floor.

twilit arch
#

some of them are used in certain recipes, and clear demimateria is vendor fodder

exotic pumice
#

Are the master ones the ones you learn from the books cause i didn't understand that either

warped nest
#

Yes

#

Master recipes are purchased from NPC

leaden ginkgo
#

I didnโ€™t know whm has the lowest floor I just found itโ€™s more difficult to feel satisfaction than blm

#

At the beginning

remote lintel
#

because theres no big explosions except holy

ember moth
#

Well out of the healers whm is by far the lowest skill floor

#

Dps is a different beast

little swift
#

Healing is a challenging role to play when you begin

#

Can be overwhelming to newer players

#

Tanking and dps are easier to approach in that sense

leaden ginkgo
#

Very true Iโ€™m blm almost lv80

ember moth
#

Your main goal to get better, and what you should revolve all your play around is this, - keeping players alive and then slowly figuring out how to spend more and more time dpsing

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes I found blm is much easier, I mean also get less blame too , sigh, thatโ€™s also a source of stress

remote lintel
#

the tank also has responsibility to keep themselves and the rest of the party alive

leaden ginkgo
#

True keep people all alive is the priority

ember moth
#

As you get better feel more comfortable and understand your class and fights you'll give your chance more time to dps through understanding mechanics as well as making better healing decisions

remote lintel
#

if the tank is eating ass then no healer is going to save them

leaden ginkgo
#

Absolutely, now I cast an Aero and run healing like crazy

#

Hahahah i had one tank was something, he pulls so much mobs that I really couldnโ€™t catch up the healing

remote lintel
#

also you should never treat any of your skills as "emergency healing"

#

use all of them

leaden ginkgo
#

O balance the skills

remote lintel
#

i mean don't put off using skills because its "for emergencies"

#

just use it

ember moth
#

Yeah later on you'll be. Less panicky when something takes a hit, one thing to note is a huge amount of damage is avoidable, and damage is scripted, there's plenty of times where even if someone is like 50 percent or lower hp they are in absolutely no risk of dieing unless they stand in bad stuff. And when you start to know when you can push it you'll be able to heal less and dps more

leaden ginkgo
#

Umm lucid dreaming I used when half way mp is this alright?

remote lintel
#

at low levels you should use it at like 8k mp

little swift
#

8k mp is a safer baseline

hasty musk
#

like 70-80% mp

remote lintel
#

at higher levels you use it whenever it comes up

ember moth
#

You should always be casting so when you have 7-8k you can use it

leaden ginkgo
#

Ooo got it

ember moth
#

If you don't need to heal you should be casting dps

remote lintel
#

healing is just 80% dpsing 20% healing

ember moth
#

Yeah pretty much

agile night
#

any way to increase gp regen while gathering stuff? I see items that increase the cap but they don't seem particularly useful

ember moth
#

Like I said earlier your main goal to get better is look at what you're doing and ask, is there a better way I could of handled that, that would have allowed me to do more damage while not letting people die

obsidian patio
#

@agile night cordials are consumable items that give a large amount back at once

#

Thereโ€™s also the watered cordial, along with the Hi-Cordial bought with yellow scrips

outer plank
#

@agile night outside of cordials and the GP Regenation traits

leaden ginkgo
#

For whm I havenโ€™t consumed any enhancing ability food, is it recommended, maybe later for bigger fight?

agile night
#

looks like I might be a little ways from that but thanks good to know what to look for

little swift
#

Not really needed outside savage difficulty or higher

#

@leaden ginkgo

outer plank
#

@leaden ginkgo donโ€™t bother with foods, or rather eat anything for that 3% exp boost for 30 minutes

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah oh ๐Ÿ˜Š

outer plank
#

When youโ€™re doing a dungeon

leaden ginkgo
#

Feel more safety

little swift
#

early on, 1 or 2 points of stats won't make a colossal difference

outer plank
#

Later when doing end game content you can worry about food effectiveness but the dungeons youโ€™re doing are incredibly easy

little swift
#

and damage in normal content isn't so high that it will matter

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok ok

#

Thanks people! I feel already better coz I really had whm blues after few dungeons

fallen niche
#

So does anyone know the chance of
The Celestial Kimono remnant actually dropping? I know it's not traditionally rolled for most of the time

remote lintel
#

rng

#

it could drop for some people and not others

agile night
#

alright I'm confused with mooching, can you not do it with fish caught with lures maybe? I had done it once, just caught what I need and it's telling me I can't do it at this time.

warped nest
#

Mooch only works with specific fishes

twilit arch
#

also for Mooch I, it has to be HQ

warped nest
#

And Mooch needed HQ

#

Mooch II can use NQ

agile night
#

I'm trying for shadow catfish, finally caught a ala mhigan. ah, yeah it's not hq

remote lintel

twilit arch

did you use the item given to you on the mob

remote lintel

to weaken it

void minnow

lol no!

#

i think thats it lol

remote lintel
#

also manaward

stable hinge
#

is there a mount for getting all the lanners like with the kamuys?

warped nest
#

Yes

#

@stable hinge Firebird

stable hinge
#

Thanks

warped nest
#

The quest should be in Idyllshire

remote lintel
#

its like that for every expac

warped nest
#

Once you got all the lanners

stable hinge
#

which is the demonic lanner from

remote lintel
#

zurvan

#

iirc

stable hinge
#

I got it from the moogle tomes

#

Thanks

#

at least I can skip that one

warped nest
#

Is Demonic Lanner the one with red/orange feather with ice particle?

twilit arch
#

demonic is zurvan yes

stable hinge

I dont think its ice

#

nvm it is

never noticed that before

remote lintel
#

you can cancel your current sub and then resub as whichever you want

twilit arch
#

don't have to cancel your current sub

remote lintel
#

oh

twilit arch
#

just click on credit card/crysta payment, select standard and go thru that process as normal

#

assuming you use credit/debit or crysta as your payment of choice

#

steam wallet, i believe should be the same process but not sure as i dont have steam

naive mantle
#

ok

#

so ill just pay the difference?

#

@twilit arch

twilit arch
#

yes

#

you'll pay based on how much time remaining in your current sub

agile night
#

on the topic of subs, what happens when I buy the game and get off the trial, do I also need a subscription at that point?

remote lintel
#

you get off the trial once you buy the game

#

so yes

twilit arch
#

starter/complete edition comes with 30 days free

wintry chasm
#

^

#

Afterwards sub then on

twilit arch
#

so once those days expire, yes you will need a sub to play the game from there on out

agile night
#

ah k, so it's not quite immediate

leaden ginkgo
#

hey, I changed my PC so my game settings are dead and I must re size and move everything etc.

#

is there any way to reduce skill infos size ?

#

like when I hover my skills the info bubbles are way too big

remote lintel
#

if you still have your old pc you can upload your settings to the cloud and download them on your new pc

leaden ginkgo
#

I have it but I wiped all the data lol

remote lintel
#

if you have the info windows in a fixed location you can do it in hud layout

leaden ginkgo
#

the hardest work will be skillbars but I dont care (except for crafter ๐Ÿ˜ข )

#

if you have the info windows in a fixed location you can do it in hud layout
@remote lintel mmh what do you mean ?

#

im in the HUD settings and can't find info windows

bold gyro
leaden ginkgo
#

hello! im just wondering what this quest sign meant
@bold gyro repeatable quest

#

but blue should be for relic weapon

#

like farmable items for relics

#

if you got this in mor dhona

bold gyro
#

ah ok! That makes sense. Thanks so much!

wheat plume
#

any suggestion for Dark Knight lvl 30 besides Grit, aoe to every enemy and the 3hit combo? (noob tank here)

faint flare
#

Aoe spam at 2+ mobs

remote lintel
#

in the settings you can choose to have the info windows in a fixed location on your screen instead of next to your cursor all the time @leaden ginkgo

faint flare
#

Use defensive cooldowns one by one

wheat plume
#

I keep failing the 1st job quest and I dont know why

remote lintel
#

dont absorb all the black clouds

faint flare
#

Dont take too many darkness stacks

#

Only take some

#

They increase how much damage you deal AND take

leaden ginkgo
#

in the settings you can choose to have the info windows in a fixed location on your screen instead of next to your cursor all the time @leaden ginkgo
@remote lintel oh ok thx didnt know that, but can I juste re-size the info windows ? Im ok to have them near my mouse, they're just too big lol

wheat plume
#

And why did I fail the job quest? , I didnt die

remote lintel
#

not sure how to do it without the fixed windows

#

@wheat plume did you fail to protect someone?

faint flare
#

Did the npc die

wheat plume
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

oh ok, ty !

wheat plume
#

They increase how much damage you deal AND take
@faint flare The Darkness buff says "damage taken si reduced"

gritty oracle
#

@wheat plume Was there an objective the trainer told you? like use X skill, do Y combo, attack a specific target, stop someone from attacking something else? Unlock quest instances tend to spoonfeed you the base mechanics of the class.

what's the best place to farm wolves (for wolf fangs)?

@wheat plume Was there an objective the trainer told you? like use X skill, do Y combo, attack a specific target, stop someone from attacking something else? Unlock quest instances tend to spoonfeed you the base mechanics of the class.
@gritty oracle im doing the first job quest, and its like a tutorial

halcyon glen
#

oh DRK 30?

wheat plume
#

What job quest, let's start there
@halcyon glen dark knight

halcyon glen
#

You ate too many orbs

#

and blew up

#

i assume

wheat plume
#

can I fail if I do that even if I still have HP left?

halcyon glen
#

Too many or not enough anyway

#

What exactly caused you to fail?

remote lintel
#

thats what theyre trying to figure out

gritty oracle
wheat plume
#

after taking so much orbs my character crouches, but I still had hp

halcyon glen
#

oh yeah too many orbs

remote lintel
#

just dont take that many

halcyon glen
#

nom them less

gritty oracle
#

crouching usually means you're exhausted or in a lot of pain

#

and at any rate beaten

halcyon glen
#

That quest is to teach you that darkness is good in moderation

leaden ginkgo
#

is it possible to get ran'jit's chest piece?

wheat plume
#

so maybe crouching in the mid of battle in this quest makes me fail

#

how many darkness buffs can I have before crouching?

remote lintel
#

@leaden ginkgo no

leaden ginkgo
#

damn his outfit is badass

halcyon glen
#

usually not - again, what exactly were you doing when the quest kicked you out or "duty failed" was displayed?

leaden ginkgo
#

@remote lintel do you know of anything similar?

wheat plume
#

killing soldiers, but I exactly took 2 buffs at the same time (without dying by hp)

#

and then quest falied appeared

halcyon glen
#

You were in combat?

wheat plume
#

yes

left cedar
#

I see a lot of streamers cover up their chat windows and I got curious, is this something that's against TOS, or is it more of a courtesy thing?

@leaden ginkgo off the top of my head

But I did it again and Im fine, but I couldnt stack so much darkness buffs like before

leaden ginkgo
#

@remote lintel thx, might just get far eastern noble attire it looks kinda alike too

rigid narwhal
#

@left cedar more courtesy/personal privacy

wheat plume
#

is there a guide for lvl 30 dark knight? or just activating stance, aoe, 3-hit combo and darkness buff is enough?

remote lintel
#

at 2+ enemies do aoe

rigid narwhal
#

also it's a good place to put your webcam/dps meter

wheat plume
#

I'm asking because there are other actions and traits at lvl 30, I can read what they are used for, but I want to know when or when not to use them, because I want to enter dungeons to get used to tank, but i dont want to mess up

remote lintel
#

like what

leaden ginkgo
#

hmm how do we access sigmascape?

#

the guides don't really say

remote lintel
#

do the omega quest line

wheat plume
#

Rampart, I entered lvl 16 dungeon and after using it every time I could, another player suggested me to save it for bosses

leaden ginkgo
#

is savage v4 hard?

remote lintel
#

@wheat plume use it on cd

leaden ginkgo
#

can we grind for the diamond armor trade in items unsynced?

halcyon glen
#

Yes

remote lintel
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

noice

halcyon glen
#

But it's hard even unsynced

wheat plume
#

@wheat plume use it on cd
@remote lintel so use it every time its cd charges?

leaden ginkgo
#

how long did it take you guys to get your diamond gear?

remote lintel
#

i dont have it haha

#

@wheat plume basically

#

same with other defensives

#

you cycle them

halcyon glen
#

or at least you need a full party who knows the first few mechanics of each phase

leaden ginkgo
#

@halcyon glen does it drop a book for the trade in for armor everytime?

halcyon glen
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

I see

#

so need to assemble a team

#

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป thx

remote lintel
#

use PF

ashen vessel
#

can i leave the area where i started the duty finder? I'm doing the It's probably pirates quest.

remote lintel
#

yes

#

the only way you can leave queue is if you want to leave or get disconnected or something

ashen vessel
#

thanks.

willow breach
#

anyone know if 5.4 is gonna have ishgard housing? or just new raids/gear update?

remote lintel
#

theres no mention of ishgard housing in 5.4

willow breach
#

oof sad

wheat plume
#

you cycle them
@remote lintel so cycle it with reprisal for example? only use one at a time?

remote lintel
#

yes

faint flare
#

There's no mention of housing at all

twilit arch
#

5.41 will have the last stage of the restoration

#

no mention of housing at all

halcyon glen
#

At level 30, Dark Knight has 2 defensive cooldowns: Rampart and Reprisal. If there are bad guys attacking you, you want one or the other if possible.

faint flare
#

If anything ishgard housing, if it does come. Would be next expansion minimum

wheat plume
#

When should I use Unmend?

remote lintel
#

when theres a stray enemy

faint flare
#

To pull mobs

willow breach
#

oh okays. is there gonna be higher il gear for crafters and gatherers as welll

twilit arch
#

very unlikely

willow breach
#

higher than the current il 490

faint flare
#

Aethese will br BiS

lone spruce
#

Is there a way to turn off the light effects during battle? Like you know for example the light that surrounds dancer characters when they dance

willow breach
#

oh so still the same'

faint flare
#

White scrip gear next patch woll be worse than melded Aethese

#

Also skysteel tool upgrades probably

remote lintel
#

@lone spruce if theyre in your party you can set party effects to limited but idk if that turns off the lights

wheat plume
#

To pull mobs
@faint flare so thats the range attack I've seen other tanks use always to pull while running?

willow breach
#

oh alright,. so theres just gonna be new raid gear

halcyon glen
#

yes

faint flare
#

Yes

wheat plume
#

cool

halcyon glen
#

Dungeon Mid-Bosses it's FAR less important to use cooldowns on than the packs of random mobs you'll pick up

willow breach
#

and new crafted gear for dom dow

halcyon glen
#

take it from a healer

faint flare
#

Its a whole new gear cycle

#

For combats

willow breach
#

ooh i see. any idea on how much the new crafted gear sells during week1-week2?

#

its gonna be my first time at new patch :3

faint flare
#

Depends on server, probably 2mil+ a piece

willow breach
#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

halcyon glen
#

A source I'm closed to who does day 1 hardcore estimated 50 mil a set day 1

#

on my server

#

if you wait like 12 hours

faint flare
#

It will vary but it wont be cheap

willow breach
#

big gil

wheat plume
#

Dungeon Mid-Bosses it's FAR less important to use cooldowns on than the packs of random mobs you'll pick up
@halcyon glen (sorry for asking dumb questions, langauge barrier, etc) so its more important to use cooldowns in mobs than in mid bosses, is that what you're saying?

faint flare
#

Yes

halcyon glen
#

yes

faint flare
#

Bosses are pathetic as hell

remote lintel
#

trash hits harder than bosses

willow breach
#

i guess materia price will go up as well

halcyon glen
#

yep

willow breach
#

time to stock some materia xd

halcyon glen
#

Your next 2 cooldowns, fwiw, are Arm's Length at 32 (does not work on bosses at all lmao) and Shadow Wall at 38 (better Rampart)
