Sure, there’s no failure rate and no shared level cap so it’s something you can easily level up steadily with dungeon drops

@wheat plume then you have the four frontline duties mentioned unlocked.
Look in duty finder > PvP tab
Note which ones are available to queue for cycle daily.

what are current crafting food and syrup options?

You can also unlock Rival Wings by talking to the goblin NPC at the Wolves’ Den
wheat plume
<@328049132663078914> then you have the four frontline duties mentioned unlocked...
I only have 1 frontline unlocked
obsidian patio
what are current crafting food and syrup options?
Blood Bouillabaisse for cheap CP food from a vendor
Chili Crab for best CP food
popotoes Au Gratin if you need a lot of Craftsmanship/Control
And the syrups are simple, choose the one you need, whether it’s the Craftsmanship or Control one to meet minimum stats, or the CP one for more CP
remote lintel
I only have 1 frontline unlocked
can you screenshot the DF
wheat plume
obsidian patio
You got them all then
As said earlier, the frontline duties have a daily rotation on availability
wheat plume
ok, thxs for your help 😄
what about astragalos, it says is unavailable? Is it gone forever?
remote lintel
they rotate
jade quartz
You have all PvP unlocked
obsidian patio
I think SE disabled Astragalos to give people time to get used to Hidden Gorge
Though that was a while ago
wheat plume
ok, thxs
jade quartz
Astragalos has been unselectable for a long time
Since Hidden Gorge is just an upgraded Astragalos with more features in it

hollow wraith
how do people usually pull in stone vigil?
I tried to do two packs at a time and ended up wiping a few times 
are you supposed to just do single packs there?
obsidian patio
Double pulls can work if the healer focuses more on healing, since they probably don’t have their AoE spell at that dungeon
Rotating your cooldowns is also very helpful
Also having good gear, as always
hollow wraith
Is level appropriate gear generally good enough?
Or should I not pull more unless I'm overgeared?
radiant brook
is there any discords and/or linkshells that focus on eureka content?
obsidian patio
Level appropriate is good enough

@open ember Ah, I missed your message my bad. Just...adventuring in general I suppose. I'm not sure how exactly it would work here in this game but....dunno. Seems like an odd request now that I'm thinking about it lol.

They also have channels for Bozja stuff
Though the discord is mostly information-centered

im stuck on this quest called "a series of unfortunate events" because the guy im saving doesnt move and he just ends up dying every time
any suggestions?
proud willow
It's been a while but I think he starts moving once all enemies have been defeated

I don't think there are any solo instances with infinitely spawning enemies

respawning =/= infinite

are you reading the prompts?

it's the very beginning of Heavensward, so the gear check is somewhat more intense than you've seen before

i do follow the green text and the prompt that flashed in the middle of the screen
proud willow
Escort NPCs in general are never going to move out of AOEs. but they will survive as long as you kill the enemies fast enough (which requires gear)
void minnow
alright ill try upgrading gear
proud willow
if your item level is too low, they'll die because the combat runs too long
void minnow
i mean is two hitting enemies too long?
proud willow
I'd have to see it in order to tell you
but a LOT of people get blindsided by the difficulty upgrade of the start of Heavensward compared to the relative ease of the end of ARR
slate arrow
We don't know enough to help anymore besides you're either not following the instance instructions, you're undergeared, or your rotation sucks
void minnow
no worries ill just try upgrading gear

what gear are you using?
proud willow
those Poetics guides links up above will you get properly outfitted pretty quick

BLM as a class also does absurdly low damage if played freestyle, worse than any other class... so you can check the quick BLM guide to make sure you're doing it right

you can't make or get fishing OHs other than the basic gig, right?

if i get on my mount too quick and my minion disappears (since i'm on a mount), do i lose my chance at a legendary yokai medal?

no because you didnt unequip your minion

is there any harm to keeping my bracelet on even when i'm finished collecting all the yokai minions?
remote lintel
your ilvl goes down

oh i guess you're right about losing the stats from a real bracelet

legendary medals are only tied to the minion you have

if you want to use it as a tracker for how many fates you've done since you've started 🤷♂️
not like teh ARR fates are a huge deal
don't toss it, put it in your armoire

You don’t need the watch for legendary medals, just minion in their designated zones
fierce cobalt
what are the current meta expectations for gear ilvl on the next patch? can someone fill in the blanks?
The best craftable weapon gear is ilvl ???
The new tomestones will give gear of ilvl ???
The BiS gear will be ilvl ???
faint flare
Crafted will be 510 with normal. Tome 520 upgraded to 530, savage drops 530 with 535 weapon
You literally just add +30 ilvls to gear
Whenever a new tier hits
Same goes for ilvl requirements for fights
Edens promise will require i480 to enter, savage will require i500 to enter
fierce cobalt
so would the best players just rush savage with 510 gear?
fierce cobalt
whats would be a normal player's expectations? slowly get 520 with tomestones and eventually try for savage?
remote lintel
buy the crafted gear probably
faint flare
Do your weekly normal mode clears for 510and get tomes
Or buy crafted if you got money
Or have previous BiS for first two floors
You need i500 minimum for the first two floors
So old bis gear gets you the first two floors
fierce cobalt
is there a mathematical average on how good ilvl difference is? ie a 490 weapon is 10% better than a 480 wep?
fierce cobalt
that doesnt seem like a lot to me, in the way that a person playing optimally with worse gear could beat an average person with better gear
manic flare
would i have to beat the coils using the non-cheater method (ie sync'ed) in order for it to show up in my roulette
fierce cobalt
but ok thanks
manic flare
i've done maybe 200-300 roulettes and never rouletted into coils
faint flare
The big thing is on day/week 1 raiding, Dps Checks can be extremely tight
faint flare
And the extra vitality abd HP can be very handy
manic flare
@remote lintel i mean just the normal version
remote lintel
yes
manic flare
not the savage version
remote lintel
its savage level without the tag
faint flare
Coils is savage, there's no normal version
manic flare
i thought there was another harder version of coils
faint flare
The small part that is labelled savage is just a retake of the fights
manic flare
than the story mode one
faint flare
Removes some cheese strats
remote lintel
theres second coil of bahamut
fierce cobalt
so theres coil savage and coil savage savage?
remote lintel
no
wintry chasm
Well
faint flare
Then 4 Second coil savage fights which only give titles
remote lintel
theres binding coil of bahamut and then the sequel second coil of bahamut
only second coil has "savage"
binding is already savage
faint flare
Second cpil savage mainly just removes cheese strats and mimor adjustments
remote lintel
because
faint flare
You can easily unsync shit
remote lintel
if you unsync it then youre not playing how its supposed to be played
wintry chasm
How about you try it when you don't melt the boss and skip mechanics?
remote lintel
and youd be lvl 80
faint flare
Do it at level then do Nael
manic flare
well if it's anything like my ramuh extreme sync'ed
remote lintel
savage is harder than extreme
wintry chasm
Trial extremes are easier than savage
and coils is their first attempt at difficult content so...some of them are fairly bullshit
manic flare
whenever i do a sync'ed extreme duty, usually more than half of the new people are new and it's only like 1 or 2 guys who know what to do
every time

any time yo uare next to a summoning bell

so to start raiding savage when 5.4 drops, gear checks aside I would need to clear the previous savages too?
remote lintel
no

or no such restriction?
remote lintel
only the normal

ok
remote lintel
and unreal if you count that

Techincally 5 versions of shiva
manic flare
any mounts?

what do the shadowbringer ex trials give u in terms of mounts?
faint flare
A wyvern/dragob
remote lintel
gwibers
remote lintel
which is basically a dragon
fierce cobalt
i know the numbers can fluctuate wildly from competition, anyone hazard a guess on cost of the 510 crafted gear? estimating from historical prices?
remote lintel
at launch probably in the millions
obsidian patio
The tomestone materials can also be 10k+ in the first week
fierce cobalt
oh jesus
obsidian patio
So even if you don’t craft you can make a bucket of Gil by doing roulettes
remote lintel
or hunt trains
fierce cobalt
some extrapolating from that, there will be a new material needed for bis crafted and wont appear until 5.4?
faint flare
Yes
fierce cobalt
that requires either alle or phas
faint flare
Be brought for allegory
fierce cobalt
interesting
faint flare
Which is why the tome mats are expensive day 1
obsidian patio
Phantasmagoria will also be phased out in 5.4
faint flare
Cause itd news
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
For a detailed post on how the tomestone changes will work
This happens every even patch and expansion launch
fierce cobalt
No offense, not as detailed as I would like, have read through it
obsidian patio
Basically Allegory will become Uncapped and replace Phantasmagoria, which is moved to the hunt vendors
fierce cobalt
I kinda gathered thats the deal from the wiki and its old tomestones
obsidian patio
And a new weekly tomestone gets added
fierce cobalt
have they ever changed the cap from 450
or is it always been like that for years
the top tomestone
obsidian patio
They change it to 900 near the end of expansions to help people catch up as preparation for the new expansion
fierce cobalt
is there a cutoff math point im missing, like why is it 450 and not clean number like 500?
faint flare
General pricing of stuff 🤷♂️ probably
obsidian patio
Weapons being 1,000, and SE probably not wanting people to get those week 2
manic flare
do u guys actually use adventurer squadrons for stuff?
remote lintel
for the little certificate things yes
faint flare
Free shit
obsidian patio
The chemistries are a nice source of various currencies
obsidian patio
GC seals, MGP, scrips, Gil
manic flare
wait, u get crafter scrips from them?
fierce cobalt
This is just Wynne flexing his lala team lol
gritty oracle
I can get Fuchsia Bloom from every lv80 teeming water in Il Mheg, right?
obsidian patio
fierce cobalt
the scriops are only yellow right?
gritty oracle
I have Collector's Glove on but all I get is random crap like bedskipper or fuathgobbler
fierce cobalt
Is there much point in matera under tier 5? like i imaigne T5 at least is a lot cheaper than 7, but do people apply that same logic to anything under that? or am i missing something?
obsidian patio
Only crafters and gatherers can really use stuff below tier 5 for min-maxing melds without wasting stats
For a slight increase in success rate too
It’s also easier to get G1-5 materia for them since 1-3 can be obtained from Ixal Dailies and 4-5 can be bought with yellow scrips
manic flare
should i focus on increasing CP stat for my crafter over control and craftsmanship?
obsidian patio
For the most part, yes. CP is very easy to cap and it’s an important stat
obsidian patio
Because not a lot of people make it
So people charge them high to try to take advantage of low supply
wintry chasm
Also last I check dodore wings are kinda annoying to get unless you just get retainers on it?
obsidian patio
Ehh, you can easily solo undersize aurum vale

Hi! I'm new and I need party for dungeon, can somebody help me?
Containment Bay Z1T9 and I can't even use Return lol
agile night
in a dungeon the party asked me to limit break (well, said to lb, I didn't know what that was immediately), how do I do it? I know where the bar is, do I just click on it?
green frigate
@agile night main menu -> actions&traits -> general -> limit break (set to hotbar)
agile night
oh nice, thanks.
remote lintel
@green frigate just queue for it?
honest anvil
How does undock in copied factory work? the red aoe happens so fast
hasty musk
it goes towards wherever 2P is
remote lintel
2P is where the "front" of the room is
and the red aoes go from bottom to top
top being the front
green frigate
@agile night no prob 
honest anvil
so to avoid, i should go where 2P goes at start then run away from that point?
honest anvil
i’ll try that next time. Tks all
agile night
I should probably also ask for tips on when to/not to use limit break. I looked into what they do a bit, see that as playing dragoon, physical dps does the most damage if that's what the goal is.
I imagine healer should get priority if a couple are dead or everyone's taken a lot of damage.
I'm not sure when tank would want it
faint flare
Healer only uses it in 8mans to save the run with LB3
remote lintel
tank only does it for a few specific fights
faint flare
Melee uses it on bosses, Caster/range use it on large trash pulls/multiple targets
Tanks use it for when its mandatory or for specific cheese strats
agile night
alright. so I should be fine just using it on a boss
karmic niche
The first time i use lb3 tank is at lvl 80 trial
sinful mist
Yeah. Usually at the 15 percent for dungeons. Bit later for trials and raids
faint flare
Saving for a last hit is a waste
sinful mist
In dungeons maybe. Everywhere else nah
remote lintel
what
faint flare
No
In trials if you trust people to not be stupid as fuck
Use it when its full and safe
You can potentially get another
Unless there's a planned use
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Cause there isnt in dungeons
sinful mist
Two lbs in trial?
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
it can happen
agile night
so use on first bar, don't bother going for 2 or 3?
faint flare
No, cap the gauge
remote lintel
you use it as soon as it gets to 3
agile night
alright. Well I've gotten this far without using it, I'll probably give it a try on lower level dungeons, not that much can go wrong at this point
little swift
in most dungeon situations, you aren't likely to cap the gauge
usually by the last pull you'll be at 1 full bar and a bit
karmic niche
Are we still talking about the lvl 80 trail or general raid/trail
little swift
its fine to use it on the last pull as a caster
sinful mist
Well ok. I prefer to have a pot healer lb3 over that little bit of dmg
faint flare
General use
little swift
in trials, healer lb3 is more valuable than 1% of the boss hp in damage
faint flare
- whatever LB you build back
agile night
I was doing the stone vigil for the first time when I was asked to use it for reference I guess.
faint flare
If you trust your team/in a static, you can throw it out immediately when its safe
To potentially get LB1 again
karmic niche
Majority of the time dps that use the lb at 15% or below in raid or trail
remote lintel
in savage raids you use it asap
karmic niche
Eh?
remote lintel
90% chance youll get another lb3
remote lintel
you said "everything else" before
sinful mist
Ye. Savage is something he will not do for a hundred hours
remote lintel
i'm talking about in general
faint flare
If you trust your team/in a static, you can throw it out immediately when its safe
sinful mist
But he asked and he is stone vigil. It would only confuse people talking about statics or savage at that point
faint flare
If you dont trust your team cause they're small brains like 95% of pugs, save it for healer lb3
In dungeons just fucking use it
remote lintel
i'm talking to you luthais because you said not to use it right away for everything else which is incorrect
sinful mist
For him it's correct
remote lintel
no
sinful mist
It's an answer for him
remote lintel
it's not and we told you why
karmic niche
My small brain can't handle savage raids
sinful mist
Because when he does savage content in over 100 hours stuff is different?
remote lintel
i said you still use it right away
faint flare
AGAIN
If you trust your team/in a static, you can throw it out immediately when its safe. In dungeons just use it, who fucking cares
End of
karmic niche
Lol
sinful mist
Ok I'm done. You are right.

Wonderous tales is weekly

there is a mentor network

also there are fellowships and FC u can join that are beginner friendly

novice network is probably what youre looking for although this discord is better moderated

in fact most people who play this are pretty friendly
it's' strange
not used to people being so nice honestly

depends on the build
twilit arch
only time normal mode and savage are staggered release is at expansion launch because they want people to focus on enjoying leveling/the story
trim plover
and raids will be available (both normal and savage) as soon as the servers go back online after maintenance correct?
twilit arch
yes
jade quartz
Correct
spring tendon
Is it possible to jump content? Not that I want to but for example...do I have to complete the base game to play the the first expansion etc
remote lintel
yes you need to play in order
the story is one linear thing
its like chapters in a book
unless you buy a story skip
jade quartz
@lost grove just follow meld priority until you’re building a BiS set with predetermined melds
lost grove
Well I have bozja and neo ish rn
jade quartz
You can pay real money to skip up to a certain expansion.
spring tendon
Ah, that's a good thing then. I was worried I'd accidentally timeskip the story. That's a load off my mind then
jade quartz
So follow meld priority
lost grove
K
trim plover
oh I forgot to ask, the new crafted gear will be available as soon as servers go online again right ?
faint flare
Yes
spring tendon
And I hate to bug about this so much but is Dark Knight available in tje first expansion or the second? Or was it only just released in shadow...uh shadowbringer!
faint flare
First expansion
remote lintel
a realm reborn > heavensward > stormblood > shadowbringers is the order
zinc orbitBOT
spring tendon
Okay sweet. I actually like the description behind it. So I'm jumping the gun just a little bit hehe..but first Paladin...at level 50? I guess?
Oh amd another thing...I somehow got a mount from tje Moogle service thingy. I used the item but it says I can't summon it yet. When is the mount feature unlocked?
faint flare
!faq mounts
remote lintel
!faq mounts
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
oh boy
faint flare
Lv20 in the story
jade quartz
@plain python https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Spiritbond has a table of the different item level ranges which reward different materia grades
remote lintel
also paladin is upgraded from gladiator at lvl 30
spring tendon
Oh sweet. It's not that far away then. I'm level 17 right now so amazing. And cool! That's even sooner than I though hecc yeah
spring tendon
Ooooooh. Theres a difference then? MSQ level are different from PC levels?
faint flare
Yes. Because you tend to level faster
spring tendon
And MSQ is....Main Scenario Wuests right?
faint flare
Yes
jade quartz
MSQ level is simply the required level to complete that quest
It’s common to outlevel your MSQ quests
faint flare
Especially on preferred servers and just generally doing side stuff and roulettes
spring tendon
Okay, okay. This is all starting to make sense now. I've been doing side quests out my left lung so I'm still only just barely caught up. I think I'm on level 15 MSQ
I just retrieved tje sultana crown
remote lintel
also if you start to be way overlevel for your msq i recommend picking up another class
faint flare
Story abd your job quests are top priority. Blue quests unlocks SOMETHING. Yellow quests are just lore and some small rewards
spring tendon
I grab everything. I am a hoarder of quests
remote lintel
you might want to consider leveling 2 classes at a time then
its more efficient exp wise
faint flare
Side quests are nice for alt jobs...overkill on your main/highest
spring tendon
Oh...okay then. Is it better to hold off on doing side quests then? To level side jobs?
brave sky
so the general wisdom for whm is enemies>3 spam holy, enemies<3 just keep dia up and spam glare?
spring tendon
Like hold off all together?
faint flare
Yes, you can generally ignore them
jade quartz
Side quests aren’t really nice for alt jobs
faint flare
Something to do in que times
jade quartz
The exp from them isn’t worth the time investment compared to other things
FATEs are better
faint flare
Its something.jpg
remote lintel
@brave sky i think for white mage holy is for 2+ enemies
jade quartz
Only do side quests if you just really want to see the stories and clear them all out
That’s yellow sidequests mind you
brave sky
mm ok, but at 2 or 3 you still want to focus on keeping dia up on all of them right?
jade quartz
sly ridge
Hey I just came back after two years and I can't remember how to play my lvl 60 dk. Any resources to help?
remote lintel
@brave sky sure
spring tendon
Scratching my head So....just ignore them all together then...ever? While I usually do like knowing what's going on in the world I also dont mind being the epitome of "I dont know who I am, or why I am. All I know is that I must kill"
remote lintel
@sly ridge weskalber on youtube
faint flare
Remove all your skills and read them onr by one
brave sky
@remote lintel ty
faint flare
And smack dummies
jade quartz
Read the MSQ
remote lintel
you'll still know whats going on in the main story magnus
the side stories are just that
side stories
jade quartz
Sidequests aren’t necessary to understand anything
They’re seldom connected in any way
remote lintel
also you can still do them if you really wanna
spring tendon
Okay okay. About these FATEs then. If I complete them.once is that it? No more exp? Or can I do it again but with diminishing returns? Or is it the same amount just based on participation?
plain python
they are repeatable
faint flare
They're endlessly repeatable
spring tendon
Okay then
faint flare
Basically world events if you played other mmos
remote lintel
they pop up from time to time
faint flare
Rewards are based on participation
plain python
sometimes a quest will require you do them
faint flare
If you just hit once and afk you'll get little
plain python
but it is rare
spring tendon
Ive soloed them a lot. Not many people in tje starting areas haha
remote lintel
still better than a couple months ago when high level players were bombarding them
plain python
they are nice for like the first 20 level, then matter little afterward
spring tendon
But I think that's it for me then...I dont have many more questions. Thanks for being paitent with me!
remote lintel
thats what the channel is for
spring tendon
Oh, one last thing. Will the MSQ be sufficient enough on their own for exp? Or should I do some other activities here and there?
remote lintel
theres that one point in ARR where the msq level jumps from 47 to like 49
faint flare
Jusssst about...There's a few weird jumps, especially the 3 level jump at 46
But just about ish
jade quartz
Do you have Road to 70?
spring tendon
Eh?
faint flare
Doing daily roulettes help keep you ahead
spring tendon
Daily roulettes?
jade quartz
Do you have the Road to 70 buff active for creating your character on a preferred world
faint flare
You unlock them after getting some dungeons unlocked
remote lintel
roulettes are a duty finder thing that puts you in a random duty but will give you an exp boost
jade quartz
After your first two dungeons you will unlock Duty Roulette: Leveling
spring tendon
When are dungeons unlocked
jade quartz
This gives a massive chunk of exp once daily
jade quartz
Level 15 in the MSQ
remote lintel
lvl 15 is your first one
jade quartz
First at 15, second at 16
spring tendon
Oh, okay. I'm going to the sultana banquet rn
spring tendon
Just iron will at the moment
jade quartz
Ok
remote lintel
in the top right of your screen?
jade quartz
So you’re not getting double exp then
spring tendon
Next to tje quest bar yeah?
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
jade quartz
That little icon
spring tendon
Okay, yeah. Then all that's there is Iron will
jade quartz
Yeah ok
spring tendon
Which I keep on at all times
jade quartz
In that case
jade quartz
MSQ will give you most of your required exp
If you do your daily Duty Roulette: Leveling then you should probably have no problems
shrewd mirage
Is the Shisui gears dyeable?
open ember
no
remote lintel
no iirc
jade quartz
Unfortunately not
shrewd mirage
That really sucks 😦
pallid reef
is there a setting for chat or something cause ive played all the way to lvl 22 and I haven't seen anyone type
buoyant sorrel
T3T
terse crystal
HI, can I see some of you guys WHM hotbar? im having a hard time trying to figure out how to set it up
remote lintel
what platform
terse crystal
PC
jade quartz
@pallid reef head to Limsa and you’ll see people chatting. People hang out in main cities (mostly Limsa), endgame hubs and housing districts to chat publicly; however, most chatting is done in Free Company or Linkshell chat
remote lintel
might want to try #protips-and-ui
obsidian patio
@buoyant sorrel if you mean the normal mode trial then it might be possible at 80
pallid reef
alr
jade quartz
It’s a server-wide chat for new players and “mentors” but it’s mostly social TBH
obsidian patio
The Ahk Morn tank buster may need mitigation and heavy heals
buoyant sorrel
@obsidian patio I'm lvl 76 rn but I need to beat him up for the story quest but it's like 4am in Europe and NZ it's 4pm T3T
obsidian patio
I don’t think so then :/
sleek roost
Wait what
buoyant sorrel
Curse my time zone!!
obsidian patio
You likely won’t have enough damage for the dps check
sleek roost
Hold up, why on earth are you playing EU @buoyant sorrel ?
obsidian patio
And you’ll be pretty squishy
sleek roost
That's the worst DC for us playing from NZ lol
marble drift
yeah us Oceania peeps have Elemental at the very least
sleek roost
JP or NA but def not EU
buoyant sorrel
@sleek roost ... I straight up did not think about it because all I saw was Cerbers and was like "I like dogs"
XD
sleek roost
Hahah I mean that's a fair point
remote lintel
sounds like me
sleek roost
But seriously you should transfer or remake on a NA or JP server like ASAP
EU ping is atrocious for us
!faq datacenterip
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
I think I should edit that someday to label which data centers are from which region
sleek roost
Yeah probably
buoyant sorrel
@sleek roost it's to late I'm in a guild I'm attached I'm staying >¬<
agile night
what's this one about, talking to him doesn't seem to do anything.
sleek roost
Ooof
remote lintel
thats for quest items in case you lose them and need them again
obsidian patio
That’s for quests that give you a mount or item to use
jade quartz
Whoa yeah ping from NZ to EU servers (located in Frankfurt) is what I’d call unplayable
buoyant sorrel
@sleek roost wait a mo you sound like you play from Nz or somewhere close? Why are you in the European Discord?
jade quartz
This isn’t a European discord
bold mica
this reddit discord
jade quartz
This is a global discord but mainly North American users
sinful mist
@buoyant sorrel can always try and hope for party finder.
buoyant sorrel
Oh yeahhh I thought it had something to do with the role select from the bot my bad my bad
sleek roost
Allg (:
remote lintel
PF unsync isnt the greatest experience for a final boss
sleek roost
And yeah if you ever change your mind Aether (raiding), Primal (raiding/rp) or Crystal (rp) are all fine for NZ players
A lot of Oceanic players are on Elemental as well which is a JP datacenter
buoyant sorrel
@sinful mist I'm trying! 15 min in and half filled 🙏🙏
jade quartz
I play in New Zealand and my ping to the Eurpoean datacenters is about 300ms, as opposed to my ping to North American ones which is about 160ms
About twice as fast
sleek roost
Yeah same for me from NZ. I'm at 145 for North America atm
jade quartz
You will have problems playing some jobs with ping that high
buoyant sorrel
Oh I'm uhh ps4 so I'm not sure about the jargon I'm just here to have a good time 😊
sleek roost
TL;DR you're going to find some classes very hard to play/unresponsive at 300 ping to Europe
So if you ever wonder why a class is feeling really clunky for you, that's probably why
remote lintel
ping is basically lag
jade quartz
Basically there's a significant delay on every one of your key presses being registered by the server / response from the server being received on your end
buoyant sorrel
But I think moving to a different server is worth looking at
jade quartz
you may find some very bizarre and janky things happening if you try to effectively play jobs like ninja or machinist
buoyant sorrel
Ohh I've been fine with that hardly any lag for me?
jade quartz
No, you probably just aren't aware of it yet.
remote lintel
i'm sure youll notice if you ever try to play machinist
jade quartz
It is not uh...physically possible that you aren't experiencing ping that most people would consider pretty bad.
buoyant sorrel
Ahh that makes sense I'm playing as a beginner WHM
jade quartz
WHM is probably the job that would notice it the least of all
buoyant sorrel
Sounds right
remote lintel
except with benediction
jade quartz
As it's the job with the lowest actions-per-minute
buoyant sorrel
It sure is
jade quartz
but you'll still have trouble with split-second healing in time, and with dodging some very fast AoEs which require very fast dodging
sinful mist
You will notice it the moment you dodge a boss aoe and it still hits you. I imagine that is worse with higher ping
jade quartz
it is possible to play with your ping
like it's still not the worst I've ever heard of
buoyant sorrel
But what were the better servers for nz again?
remote lintel
NA or JP
jade quartz
But it's high enough to make most players blanch when hearing it
The North American datacentres Aether, Primal and Crystal
or the Japanese datacentre Elemental
For New Zealanders, ping with the American and Japanese centres should be roughly equal. Personally I have slightly better times with North America.
obsidian patio
A way to kinda see it is to start casting a spell and immediately move
And see how long the spell keeps casting
buoyant sorrel
I can move servers from my service account right?
jade quartz
Yes but it costs money
$18 USD
so around 26 NZD
How long have you been playing/what level are you?
buoyant sorrel
Ahh but it transfers everything right? My lvl items all my junk
jade quartz
Yes
leaden ginkgo
yes
buoyant sorrel
A little over 2 months?
jade quartz
ah OK
buoyant sorrel
I'm lvl 76 rn
jade quartz
if it was only a few weeks I was gonna suggest just rolling a new character and starting over
but after 2 months probably not.
buoyant sorrel
Aw but my guild mates..
leaden ginkgo
you need to wait till you have played for 90days
bold mica
only if they are on a preffered server
leaden ginkgo
i just made a character on each server
bold mica
if they aren't they can transfer whenever they please
jade quartz
Your ping will pose some problems for you but you can still play
buoyant sorrel
They've been good to me
sinful mist
Yeah. You can do basically all content. Some dude even did savage with high ping
jade quartz
And the option to transfer will always be there
remote lintel
you could make an alt on your server so you can still talk to them
buoyant sorrel
Yeah I'll have a look at my options, like you say because I'm WHM I don't really experience any lag or problems with ping, if I wanted to explore another class then it might cause some problems
crystal topaz
probably get this question alot but any suggestion on what server to pick out of the na data center? new player, no interest in roleplay but likely going to want to do raids/hunts
jade quartz
You'll just have a less smooth experience in general than other players do
remote lintel
crystal has more RPers
jade quartz
@crystal topaz choose Aether or Primal datacentre and select a preferred server
buoyant sorrel
I'm having fun now grinding Dol/DoH
jade quartz
!preferred aether
zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
!preferred primal
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
primal doesnt have preferred
jade quartz
oof.
remote lintel
lol
jade quartz
Welp
buoyant sorrel
But thank you for the input everyone!
jade quartz
Pick any random world on Aether or Primal

How does this person have the weapon effect remain when it's sheathed on their back?
crystal topaz
ok thank you
remote lintel
they did an emote real fast
obsidian patio
This macro works too

/sit
jade quartz
@sullen lark this can be done by drawing your weapon and /sitting very fast
and then walking around
sullen lark
Interesting 
jade quartz
the macro Wynne just shared does it automatically for you

how do i see which class im registered for duty when im waiting in queue?

Will the +20 materia hold me over until I get more +60 ones
jade quartz
uh
Materia VIII are cheap on the marketboard
so I'd recommend you just go kit out fully
straight away
manic flare
why are the icons different
jade quartz
The spiky one is a rarer spawn or whatever
basically useless info
and isn't used totally consistently across the game
I mean it's not actually "rarer"
it's just
meant to convey that it's extremely slightly more threatening and there are probably fewer in the area
not like they're hard to find or anything

Hi all. I'm new to FF14. Currently level 8. I'm wondering how to find people to play with while I level, group up with, or just chat with on Discord who are also playing FF. Or, do I need to reach max level before players start to collaborate on raids? Thanks for your help!
manic flare
you can join free companies, many of whom have their own discords
remote lintel
or both
manic flare
but i doubt you can join one yet
i dont think u can join a FC at level 8
forget what the minimum level is tho
remote lintel
theres no level restriction on fcs
manic flare
he can join one right away?
remote lintel
yes
digital vault
So, again, noob--how do you join a free company or novice network? Is Novice Network a discord channel?
remote lintel
novice network is an in game chat with other new players and mentors
manic flare
you have to find a mentor
remote lintel
you get invited by a mentor
manic flare
same for FCs, you have to find someone in a FC
remote lintel
for free companies you can look in the recruitment channel here and on community finder on lodestone
digital vault
Thanks much!
atomic gulch
my friend and I both want to play as tanks but I know that in light parties there can only be 1.. so should one of us just decide on not playing tanks together at all?
remote lintel
you can both pick up a non tank and switch around whenever you want
manic flare
a tank+healer party will get instant queues almost every time
atomic gulch
is it possible to have more than 1 tank in the party down the line?
fast talon
not for dungeons but other content yes
manic flare
if you do unsync'ed, or if you do raids
remote lintel
not for regular dungeons
manic flare
8 man raids there are 2 tanks
remote lintel
not for normal trials either but theres only like 3 of those
remote lintel
no
fast talon
8 man raids have 2 tanks
twilit arch
no, raids are 2 tanks as well
remote lintel
8 man trials and 8 man raids have 2 tanks, alliance raids have 3 tanks
fast talon
24 man raides hae 1 tank in each alliance
twilit arch
its the 24mans that are 1 tank per alliance
atomic gulch
are those content with 2 tanks very late game?
atomic gulch
ah..
remote lintel
for the 2 story dungeons in ARR you can have 2 tanks
manic flare
well no...isn't leviathan an 8 man?
atomic gulch
we just got past the first 3 dungeons and found that we can only have 1 tank
twilit arch
levi is an 8man
atomic gulch
if it will be this way for a long time, i can just play something else..
twilit arch
and has 2 tanks, and is post arr
remote lintel
leviathan is post ARR
manic flare
@atomic gulch it depends on how fast you progress through main story quest
it's possible to do it in a few days
if you don't watch too many cutscenes
or do many sidequests
remote lintel
you can do it in several days even if you watch cutscenes
fast talon
like they said you could just alternate or something, its not too hard to level alts early on especially if you have road to 70
doesnt even have to be a tank+healer depending on your server, a tank+dps could have fast queues too
granted in my server there seems to be a shortage of tanks
its always the role in need for dailies
atomic gulch
okay thank you guys
i will play tank then and just switch to something else in light party content
(:
