Is tam Tara the dungeon with the annoying slime pool that slow u down and the giant scorpion at the end?
remote lintel
@proven sparrow did you do the hunt quests for shb
manic flare
That one usually takes awhile to do cuz of mechanics that confuse alot of new players
proven sparrow
do you know what it's called?
it only says elite and dangerous prereq which i've done
proven sparrow
ty i'll check it out
little swift
Is tam Tara the dungeon with the annoying slime pool that slow u down and the gi...
That's Toto rak
proven sparrow
idk why that's not listed as a prereq
remote lintel
because in all expansions you have to unlock the hunt first?
proven sparrow
and as my first expansion i had no idea. I just had my friends tell me to talk to this chick who told me I needed prereqs I had already done
manic flare
@little swift tam Tara is where u first meet Edda outside?
little swift
Yes
little swift
Wait you meet edda in sastasha
remote lintel
tam tara hard continues eddas story
manic flare
I don't remember that dungeon at all
remote lintel
tam tara is the one with the mind flayer lookin boss
and the orbs that you had to disable
manic flare
Oh with the floaty head
remote lintel
thats tam tara hard
manic flare
Oh that's right
Apparently you also meet alianne (one of the crystal braves) by the entrance of sastasha
patent citrus
yee, tamtara is the cthulu guy
weak geode
As a level 12 conjurer is there any good way for me to find a party or a mentor
merry umbra
are there any recommended quality of life items from the online store?
or is it all skins etc?
patent citrus
a bit too early 🤔 probably do the msq/blue quest/hunting log till lv 15
you'll find a chain of dungeon quest if you keep on with your msq
weak geode
That's kinda what i thought thank you
patent citrus
are there any recommended quality of life items from the online store?
this probably? https://youtu.be/x_XbYNdjHr8
or 2/4 seated mount if you play with your irl friends 🤔
remote lintel
the fenrir only gives you a boost for a little bit until you eventually get the speed increase
almost all of the stuff from the store is cosmetic/doesnt affect gameplay
zinc orbitBOT
merry umbra
ah oook
is there anything like bank storage or what have you that is recommended
or is that all just standard (I come from GW2 if that helps give context)
patent citrus
not that i know of 🤔 just cosmetics stuff
merry umbra
ok thanks 🙂
remote lintel
no
patent citrus
ye, i guess the closest is that ff7 advent children bike
outer plank
@merry umbra you get 2 free and they hold 140 slots each
Subsequent ones cost 2 dollars more on your sub
remote lintel
unless they're on free trial
plain python
how does map allowance works? You dig a map and it counts for that day?
remote lintel
1 map every 18h
remote lintel
yes
twilit arch
the allowance is for gathering it as a botanist/miner/fisher @plain python
you can do as many maps in a day as you want, though you can only holdup to 3 maps on you. one opened, one unopened and one in chocobo saddleags. can also store one on each retainer
vast crown
don't worry about storage if you just started
unless you're a huge crafter/hoarder it's not a big deal for a long time
merry umbra
Just to check. Can you store stuff on second accounts etc... or would they also need to be subbed to trade stuff across
I know I probably don’t need to think about this yet but just interested
hasty musk
why would you need to store stuff on a second account
remote lintel
alt characters cant interact with each other at all
if you mean an entirely new account you would need to buy the game on that account and sub
vast crown
retainers would be cheaper than paying a sub for another account
hasty musk
afaik most of the stuff viera can't wear would cover their ears
remote lintel
thats not against tos
hasty musk
or clip through them, rather
vast crown
viera can wear all the glasses/spectacles I'm pretty sure
raven sage
they can
But yeah like FAQs said anything that would touch the ears can't be worn with the exception of a few hoods and I think some helmets
raven sage
That one technically falls into doesn't clip the ears
Since they actually adjusted it for viera
proven sparrow
just got a namazu quest where I can't alch the item (only one doh).Do I just have to abandon?
remote lintel
the beast tribe quest?
proven sparrow
oh i'm dumb was searching the wrong item
mellow plaza
Can't store my 80 job gear in the armoire
If it can be bought again I'm not too worried but I don't know if it can
remote lintel
yes it can
mellow plaza
Alright
remote lintel
only the first AF set can be stored in the armoire
vast crown
yeah I hate that you can't put them in the armoire arrrgh
mellow plaza
Glamour it is then
vast crown
I ended up trashing a bunch of them
remote lintel
just put it in the glamour dresser
vast crown
I don't even like them though so
mellow plaza

can you unsync 60 dungeons for bitter memories?

the material for the southern seas stuff drops from SHB treasure maps
and no can't unsync for memories

lone spruce
How do you unlock the Nier raids?
remote lintel
word about komra in tomra
lone spruce
Yeah sounds like I need to be further in msq
remote lintel
you need to beat shadowbringers
you need to beat an expac first before you can unlock its raids
silver forge
are there specific channels in this discord to use for LFG?
cold steppe
if i want to save the code with game expansions + abonament for later, can i keep it on the email they send me with link to get the code, or do i have to get the code from the link asap since it'll become inactive and just save it somewhere? 
agile night
so I just bought the game. on mog station put in the code, and it brings up recruitment rewards. I have a friend that got me into the game but don't think there was any official recruitment, is it too late for that?
obsidian patio
@silver forge not really? You can try the recruitment channels
weary cave
whats the difference between complete and collector's edition?
obsidian patio
But you’re likely better off using the ingame party finder
Collector’s Edition is only the expansions and has vanity stuff
silver forge
@obsidian patio ty, yea im looking for people who might want to farm the shared fates, which is tough bc that kind of PF is world-specific... ty though!
remote lintel
@cold steppe you can keep the code
obsidian patio
Unless it’s labelled as Complete Collector’s
cold steppe
yes, but like, do i have to click on the link generating the code right away from thier email, or do i have to save it somewhere since the link can become inactive eventually, that's what i wonder about cerberus. :X
remote lintel
i dont think it becomes inactive
but why dont you just click it and copy the code
and save it somewhere
cold steppe
i suppose, i just wondered in case i'd forget lol
remote lintel
@agile night if you didnt buy sub time yet then you can use a RAF code
agile night
okay thanks

do i have to earn battle mentor to unlock mentor roulette?
gusty storm
how do you guys use aetherial manip? do you click on your party list or just click on people manually? seems really weird to use in real combat
remote lintel
party list
raven sage
yes Vielen
patent citrus
ok ty ty
gusty storm
ok and the way you do it do you just default manip to someone you think would be in a good position or do you actually look around and stuff?
remote lintel
i look at the safe zone and scroll through the party list until it lands on someone in that safe zone
i play on controller so
its typically the healer
gritty oracle
will we get new crafter/gatherer food this expack?

Hello :D I had a question about the black friday sale going on for FFXIV + Shadowbringers on steam
I've wanted to get into FFXIV fully past the trial version for a while now but I haven't had the time to invest for a full month of sub time until a few weeks from now
If I buy the Final Fantasy XIV Complete Edition here, how would linking my account to the trial version I already have and redeeming my sub time work? Is it something I can only do when I purchase it? https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/9956/FINAL_FANTASY_XIV_Online_Complete_Edition/
remote lintel
you buy the game
you go onto mog station
you click transfer to full game
you enter the code
and you also get 30 days free with it

Where do I actually have to go to buy an apartment in the goblet
Is it in the goblet itself or is it in ul dah at the bottom. Where the flame private is guarding the quarters

any advice on a fresh 80 miner how to make some gil? I'm Poor 😦

Can I make furniture on my own or do I have to buy it from the store
For my apartment
ebon tendon
would having a house in ff14 be considered fashion
eager path
Ok, thank you @remote lintel 😊
vast crown
it means you won the game
remote lintel
why would that be fashion
patent citrus
yeah, you can count it as glamour i guess 🤔 showing off your furnitures and interior design 😂
gusty storm
ah dude black mage is so weird now
ebon tendon
@remote lintel cause you decorate it like a person
remote lintel
thats one way to look at it
gentle grail
is there much difference between SAM and DRG?
remote lintel
yes?
gentle grail
which in terms of rotation is easier end game?
remote lintel
drg
gentle grail
like flows better i guess?
remote lintel
!faq samrotation
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
thats the whole rotation for sam
drg just flip flops between its 2 combos like monk
agile night
I'm in character creation screen now for retainers. I notice it still won't let me choose Viera or Hrothgar after buying the game, when do those unlock?
gentle grail
drg just flip flops between its 2 combos like monk
ah i see oki
remote lintel
relog maybe?
and see if you can make a viera or hroth in character creation
also did you buy shadowbringers
agile night
oh, exiting and logging back in and game is updating now for me. had to agree to a new thing. that'll probably do it I'm guessing
I may have already been logged in on the launcher before when I purchased the game, I can't be sure
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo did you select a sect
leaden ginkgo
Hmm like diurnal and noctural?
remote lintel
yes
leaden ginkgo
Yes
remote lintel
and its still grayed out?
remote lintel
aspected helios
remote lintel
go to actions and traits
leaden ginkgo
Ohhhi
I never even equipped it
I swear I looked through action menu multiple times xd
Ty
If u didnt tell me I wouldnt have even looked lol
agile night
while I wait for this to update, having just bought the game aside from retainers, is there anything else I should consider doing right away that I couldn't before? at level 50
agile night
oh yeah I'd like to do that. was going to join my friend, have to wait for him to turn up
jovial tide
How does one go about entering dungeons as BLU?
Just, party finder?
Though I'd imagine that would be hard to recruit for
remote lintel
make a preformed party
agile night
alright I'm back on the retainer page now, and yep I can choose those races now. Are retainers visible to other people? I can't recall seeing any around
hasty musk
Only if they're placed outside houses
remote lintel
no
crystal topaz
so are most the servers early zones dead? ive seen a few people but not a whole lot. i imagine most people are in the later portions of the game (NA)
remote lintel
i wouldnt call it dead
theres like 50 zones of course theyre not all going to be full of people
they mostly hang out in the main cities
crystal topaz
i fgured as much, theres like 3 or 4 expansions so i figured everyone thats gonna be in the open world are gonna be in higher zones

is the command !faq samrotation only works for sam? is there one for drg too? XD

Am I in the right place for finding a party for PS4 I'm new
remote lintel
a party for what
merry umbra
If I don’t intend to play one of the new races is there any benefit to upgrading from a free to play straight away?
Or is it no difference if I play through first then upgrade later
crimson crystal
there is no difference
remote lintel
you get a free fantasia when you beat ARR
remote lintel
free trial mainly limits social stuff and the marketboard
a realm reborn - the base game
merry umbra
Hrmm
remote lintel
fantasia - item that lets you re edit your character
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
limitations are here
merry umbra
If subscription lapses do you lose access completely
remote lintel
yes
remote lintel
once you upgrade you never go back to free trial again
merry umbra
I’ll take a look at that link, thanks
gritty oracle
which server NN is nicest: Diabolos, Goblin, Zalera or Mateus?
merry umbra
Alrighty so it looks like I could stay free trial until I get to the end of ARR
Then I turn on sub to get the free Fantasia
leaden ginkgo
^
merry umbra
But no free item then? :p
leaden ginkgo
^
merry umbra
I thought you said you get a free Fantasia
Ohh do you get that regardless of being free to play
remote lintel
yes afaik
queen cove
Free fantasia is given out when you finish ARR regardless of version of game
merry umbra
For some reason I interpreted that as only if paying
queen cove
Cause its an ingame reward
gritty oracle
Is there a way to quickly copy over keybinds from one character to another?
merry umbra
Ok cool
remote lintel
@gritty oracle in the game files i believe
queen cove
There is actually, but it requires a bit of folder diving
merry umbra
That’s a lot of free game
queen cove
Cause you'd have to figure out which user id correlates to what character
Documents > MyGames > Final Fantasy XIV > FFXIV_CHR0XXXXX >Keybind.DAT
You can just copy that into the other character's folder, generally whatever folder is the newest = newer character(Just to be safe you can just back it up)
merry umbra
Guessing I’m gonna have a lot to learn starting this game :p
Is it best to just mess around and see what happens or read up
hasty musk
do both

potent shale
Ok guys so I bought the game for PS4
but it doesnt show me the code
Am I missing something?
I don't plan on using it tho
Because I have the mac version
potent shale
PS store
queen cove
Hmm, if I recall you download it on PS4, and when you log in/register service account it adds the serial code for you
queen cove
Im not for sure since its been a few years, but Ill double check real quick
Ah I remember now
You'd have to link your psn to mogstation account
potent shale
ohhh
queen cove
and I believe that does it
potent shale
how do you do that
somber flax
My buddy has the starter edition through steam, square enix is having the 50% off sale for the shadow brings expansion, if he buys that expansion through square enix does it work through steam I have noticed people in the past said there were issues
queen cove
I think you'd have to do it on the console unfortunately
Steam and SE are two different versions of the game
you can't mix and match where you get the dlcs
glacial isle
Question: if you buy the complete game (on Mac) but run out of the subscription, what happens?
queen cove
So if he owns the game on steam, he has to get the dlc on steam
same goes for SE website
vernal urchin
Once you're in through steam, he is locked into that ecosystem
queen cove
No subtime = not able to play
somber flax
Gotcha I just noticed that the steam versions on sale too so that point is moot anyway
queen cove
You still own the game, just can't play it until you add subscription time
glacial isle
is there a difference between the 180 day sub and the others?
glacial isle
Do they usually do a sale around Christmas?
queen cove
Thats assuming you purchased a physical copy of the game/serial code for PSN
|After downloading the game client, you will be prompted to log in with or create a new SQUARE ENIX ID. This will link that PSN ID and SQUARE ENIX ID.
this is what registers your psn id to mogstation
gritty oracle
Can characters with the same name exist on multiple servers? Say, One One@Balmung and One One@Zalera f.e

robust crow
any news at all for a black friday shadowbringers sale?
robust crow
oh fuck you're right
gritty oracle
A final question. Does Nilloix Dralith sound like a legit Duskwight name?
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
nilloix would be pronounced like nee-wah
robust crow
just find a word that has half its letters silent
like versailles
and then you get to deal with everyone pronouncing it wrong all the time
remote lintel
other suffixes for male elezen names are -aux, -oux, -mont, -aut, -fort, and -ant
jade quartz
Ver-say-lees!
gritty oracle
lol. Isn't it pronounced nee-loy?
remote lintel
usually the double L is silent
robust crow
louisoix isn't pronounced "loowee-soy"
jade quartz
Nee-lwah.
gritty oracle
I got Nilloix from fantasynamegenerators and a friend suggested the surname, apparently also from fantasynamegenerators but a diff fandom
jade quartz
Double L in French becomes a y sounds when preceded by another vowel + i
robust crow
jade quartz
Eg veille
gritty oracle
How about Nilloix Terrechant?
remote lintel
that works
jade quartz
Otherwise it’s pronounced as L
robust crow
straight outta ishgard
gritty oracle
lol actually my character is a Duskwight

hi I created a character on a Preferred server that has over 63 paladin and lv50 samurai , so when I complete a quest on this samurai I should get 200% bonus experience right ?

what about if you had it on ps3 🤔

@celest inlet i believe so

people played it with ps3? o.O
remote lintel
it originally came out for ps3

<@188811843324739586> armouryexp bonus does not affect quest rewards
I c thank you
Does is work on the bonus exp on daily dungeons and stuffs though ?
remote lintel
it applies to dungeons iirc
jade quartz
Uhh

Armoury exp applies to combat related things
So boss kill and mob kill exp
And for crafters/gatherers
Making stuff and smacking nodes
But doesn't apply to quest reward

agile night
what's the best way to use retainer ventures? it sounds like I don't want to be changing classes on them once I set it much if it resets them.
remote lintel
!faq balance
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
@agile night you use them to get materials for you
unless you mean the most efficient way to level them up to then get materials for you
agile night
well I'm not sure. if I set it to miner, change it to botanist, then later back to miner will miner be reset? the wording sounds like it
twilit arch
when you switch your retainers class you have to reset them back to 1
so yeah, you generally don't want to switch classes on your retainer since releveling is going to be a bit time consuming
agile night
I guess a different question to ask is what tends to be most useful between hunting, mining, botany, fishing in terms of gathering items you might need
remote lintel
whichever one you need more
twilit arch
generally recommend one combat retainer and one gathering retainer
fisher is really not that great since most of the fish it can bring back aren't terribly useful
agile night
I completely forgot I could make a 2nd retainer
twilit arch
the only real worth while thing is the fisher specific minions but that's rng
between botanist and miner, they're fairly close in terms of usefulness so doesn't matter too much which one you go for
agile night
and for combat, it sounds like I should pick something I plan on leveling myself so their level cap is higher
remote lintel
yes
twilit arch
yes you should make it a class you intend to play
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
they can only start as base classes but they can upgrade to anything
agile night
alright thanks
fast talon
Am I misremembering but didn't they say that Monk would be getting significant changes in 5.4? Seems weird that all these previews for it don't mention it that I'm starting to think I imagined it all.
twilit arch
the live letter on the 27th will likely go over more detail
there's always 2 live letters before a patch
fast talon
Okay so it is coming, just felt weird that wasn't on either the new web page or the new post on reddit from the JP side of things. Hopefully it's good changes, I just started playing monk and have come to understand how unfun greased lightning is
twilit arch
first one is usually a overview of whats to come
with the 2nd one being generally more indepth
soft tundra
Might even have been saving the rework reveal until now. Only thing we have so far is that Greased Lightning is built-in as a trait now
fast talon
those live letters are just in japanese though right, no live translations or anything
so we'd still have to wait a bit for translations to come out?
twilit arch
outside of event live letters, yes they're streamed in japanese but we have a community team of translators
fast talon
ah but no one officially from Square? you'd think they'd have a team for that
twilit arch
who will do live translations in the channel channy linked
soft tundra
They're real good at it so we don't really need them
fast talon
what time is the live letter again?
soft tundra
captions, that is
twilit arch
they have 2 people who do translating for events, Aimi (who's general SE translator) and Koji who's also one of the localization team members
and they do post an english overview of the LL later on, on the forums
soft tundra
Because they have to go by official channels and whatever SE requirement, they're on somewhat of a delay. Those posts sometimes have more detail than what's said live, like a press-release kind of thing
fast talon
alright, thanks. btw, that thing about GL turning into a trait, was that already confirmed? I always thought that was speculation.
twilit arch
that was already confirmed in the 1st LL
soft tundra
I think it might have been said before, but it was definitely mentioned in the one today
fast talon
wow, exciting
thats gonna affect a lot of skills won't it
(i also wont hate playing monk at lvl 50 synced content due to lack of form shift)
limber walrus
hello I was going to ask
is Paladin stats supposed to go: Crit -> direct hit rate -> determination -> skill spd?
Is there any tenacity or VIT in there
jade quartz
Crit > SkSpeed to reach 2.40 gcd > DH > Det
jade quartz
!xivmath rspeed 2.40
zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
You can also meld for 2.42 GCD
Depends on your personal preference
!xivmath rspeed 2.42
zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
That’s not desirable
limber walrus
huh
jade quartz
The idea is to go for a specific gcd tier
Not higher or lower
Too fast and you may have trouble with buff/GCD alignment
remote lintel
because you dont have bis
jade quartz
Just don’t meld any SkS for now
limber walrus
Bis?
remote lintel
best in slot
jade quartz
Best in slot; the best gear set possible for your job
remote lintel
bis sets themselves should put you around/lower than the gcd tier you need and then you meld for it
jade quartz
Generally comprised of a mix of raid and tomestone gear of the highest possible ilvl, selected for their substats
For you right now, just meld crit >DH>Det
jade quartz
Don’t worry about going for BiS, a new raid tier with new gear sets is coming out in a few weeks
remote lintel
yes
jade quartz
You can go for the new BiS then

frigid sonnet
Ok I'll ask here. So I bought the game again. Brand new different region but this time I bought the complete collectors edition. When I went to get my code I was given two codes. What is the second code?
remote lintel
one for the starter edition and one for the dlc?
remote lintel
the digital items then
frigid sonnet
I tried to enter the second one but it said invalid soooooooooooo
Not quite sure what to do about that
little swift
Ayatori and illya
no you can't mix the strats they clash and will cause wipes
remote lintel
did you enter it into item codes
frigid sonnet
Lemme check
kind eagle
Oh
little swift
the order of the ayatori instructions for someone with an orb is:
line up to the same side as your orb right within the hitbox of shiva to bait path of light protean waves
run through and to the right of shiva
little swift
and end up in the corresponding east/west quadrant fo the the map
kind eagle
If i play on other server can it be on same account but fresh?
frigid sonnet
Could it be because I don't have a character made yet?
I checked and it recognises I have the collectors edition
So the second code can't be for items
little swift
yes you can have multiple characters on teh same service account, limited by your sub type

@frigid sonnet assuming you bought it from the official SE store you could try asking support what the second code is for
@sly ridge what is confusing for you
frigid sonnet
My thoughts exactly.
sly ridge
@remote lintel well I just have so many spells here at level 61 just came back. Some are blacked out and I just wanted to copy a better dks hotbars

If jp have no pf i can change server for PF
remote lintel
these are what mine looks like
i have direct attacks and TBN on the first hotbar, defensives/buffs/etc on the second
little swift
If jp have no pf i can change server for PF
no thats not how that works. you'd be playing an entirely different character and leveling it to cap to allow that to happen
sly ridge
@remote lintel okay tyvm man
little swift
you can always buy level/job skips to skip yourself to the start of shadowbringers
kind eagle
You can do that?
remote lintel
yes

I shld have skipped from the start i buy the game

Oh ye learn to play
hallow grove
are the loot from the nier raids exactly the same, from copied factory to puppets bunker?
sly ridge
@remote lintel is there a way to just leave a space blank on the hot bar if theres already something there?
hallow grove
like different glam or different jobs?
sly ridge
Does anyone know?
remote lintel
wym if theres something there
@hallow grove copied factory drops glam but puppets bunker doesnt, they both drop different gear

what happens with the duty finder if I'm in a cutscene?
remote lintel
it can pop mid cutscene

fierce cobalt
whats generally the more efficient way to repair gear? mender NPC or dark matter?
hasty musk
dark matter probably since you can repair above 100% that way, but that assumes you have the appropriate crafters
remote lintel
self repair can be done anywhere and can go above 100% durability
fierce cobalt
buy dark matter with gil?
hasty musk
or with company seals
fierce cobalt
which one do ppl normally do?
pale kettle
Anyone know if you can do the Resistance weapon quest "The will to Resist" as another class than the chosen one?
hasty musk
I'd assume people usually buy with company seals since that means you're saving money on repairs
hasty musk
Anyone know if you can do the Resistance weapon quest "The will to Resist" as an...
Yeah, you can
pale kettle
ty
sleek roost
Gil or Seals isn't a major, whatever you've got laying around
I use gil since all my seals go towards Coke lol
fast talon
im honestly not sure if it ends up being more expensive when i mass purchase dark matter for repairs versus going to an NPC, but being able to repair anywhere + going over 100% repair is a good enough benefit for me to outweigh the cost
fierce cobalt
what is Coke usually used for? I assume its for an ARR item
fast talon
either housing stuff or company projects
like to make an airship/submursible needs a lot of coke
and i do mean a lot
glacial isle
anything important to know about 1st time in the Coils of Bahamut or is it like the Crystal Tower raids?
hasty musk
assuming you're doing it unsynced (which you should) and getting carried by 80s, not really
glacial isle
i don't know what buttons unsync it, I just click on the DF
hasty musk
you won't get anyone queuing normally
twilit arch
dont duty finder it
hasty musk
no one does it anymore
twilit arch
its not in any queue
glad comet
no one queues for coil
twilit arch
you can unsync by selecting the undersized party option in the duty finder config menu
glacial isle
what buttons do i press
glacial isle
those are just all duties you haven't unlocked yet
yes but that's not exactly helpful when I want to do things I have unlocked
hasty musk
check the button to remove role restrictions
karmic niche
glacial isle
Free Trial
hasty musk
also check undersized party so people know you're unsyncing it
hallow grove
alexander isn't that bad is it?
hasty musk
nah
glacial isle
like so?
hasty musk
Yup
hallow grove
i didn't really enjoy bahamut but it had its moments
hasty musk
if/when people join and you're gonna start, click the gear in the top left of the duty finder window, and select undersized party
that'll unsync the duty and just put you in instead of queuing
glacial isle
This function is not available on the Free Trial
hasty musk
oof
well
then either someone else will have to queue for you or you'll just have to wait until you own the game
glacial isle
back to the DF
hasty musk
you won't get anyone
hasty musk
Odin isn't a savage difficulty 3 tiered raid
glacial isle
Turn 1 of Binding Coils?
midnight laurel
I think I'm going to save my tomes till 5.4 to get crafting mats to sell. I'm going to cap phanta long before then, what should I buy?
hasty musk
Binding Coil isn't designed like the other raid series in the game
iirc only second coil has a normal/savage differentiation
soft tundra
A better bet might be to go into one of the major cities and walk around using the loudest chat thing you have mentioning something like "hey, looking to do first run of coils, party?"
I get why the trial has restrictions like that (bots), but limiting the party finder is one I'm not really on board with
glacial isle
are bots even running the raids
warped nest
If free trial are allowed to use party finder
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
Worst case scenario can be the party finder being packed with advertisements
raven sage
imagine that times at least 5
glacial isle
well sales and [RP/18+]
raven sage
Don't underestimate the amount of bots the game has
warped nest
I understand the frustration in these social and inventory limits
But it is as good as it can get
soft tundra
Those are dubious, as those are selling clears for gil, which is just barely not against SE rules
fierce cobalt
before i spend forever in queue, edens gate resurrection (normal, just unlocked it, finished story), thats still a common enough thing to do via duty finder?
warped nest
Yeah
inland zenith
If I meld my crystarium gear, will I lose the materia when I upgrade to augmented crystarium gear?
fierce cobalt
is there anything that can improve retrieve materia chances?
raven sage
it's tied to the materia grade
inland zenith
I'm asking because I removed the materia from my i450 gear and 3 of 4 broke at an 80% chance of success.
glacial isle
does anyone ever do these on DF or are those quests just going to sit in my journal forever
warped nest
Yup, it just what it is, Seraph
raven sage
Plus the only roulette they're in is mentor
warped nest
High End Trials doesn't match make with Trial roulette (which everyone has)
Only with mentor roulette (which only mentor players can access)
hasty musk
you'll need party finder for basically anything above normal difficulty
glacial isle
so basically never unless i buy the game
warped nest
The norm is to use party finder to recruit players, then unsync it using undersized party option in the duty finder
remote lintel
you can be invited to a party finder
people only do the quests for EXs if they want to unlock them
hallow grove
thing is, if lots of people actually queued for those high end duties, chances are the majority won't even know the mechanics
glacial isle
judging by the PF, they're all either doing late-game stuff or doing it on discord
hallow grove
it seems like its best to get a group and learn the fight together
raven sage
you'll have to do it the manual way and shout for help
remote lintel
because a majority of people have already done them or soloed it
a lvl 80 can solo ARR EXs in like a minute
hallow grove
or go unsync yeah
fast talon
I don't know where you are already storywise, but usually the best time to look for people queued in those is when Wondrous Tails reset, but even then in my server it's pretty rare to find people PF for them.
Yeah my friends and I did the whole coil of bahamut raids unsynced as four people cause we could never find anyone to queue for it
inland zenith
Yup, it just what it is, Seraph
I'll just have to deal with it
glacial isle
I mean I've never seen someone shout for help on a thing. Except once in Quarrymill where someone wanted help for Odin
raven sage
That's not really the point
it's just an option for you is all
Most trial players either don't run the things you're trying to do until they buy the game or they already had friends to help
honest anvil
i dont think you want to do synced extreme with pugs anw ...
fast talon
If your only goal is to remove them from your journal, you could try doing them unsync down the line, but if you wanna do them legit you'll either have to PF or join an FC, which granted you can't do on a free trial.
glacial isle
unsync down the line,
which I also can't do because the Free Trial goes upto lvl 60
remote lintel
thats the nature of free trial
fast talon
i dont think you want to do synced extreme with pugs anw ...
This too. Like if you go into an extreme/savage blind with pubs, they either expect you to know what to do or will be just as blind as you are which leads to nowhere (especially difficult if you're in a non English server like me lol)
lone spruce
Do those fashion report NPCs ever show up where they’re supposed to be? I’m checking the coordinates where they’re at and they’re not there and it’s annoying
remote lintel
redolent rose?
raven sage
Are you sure you went to the right place? They're always there even if you didn't unlock it
hallow grove
@glacial isle what role are you queuing as btw?
glacial isle
BLM
lone spruce
Yeah I unlocked them
fast talon
redolent rose?
no i think they mean masked rose, idk what redolent has to do with it
lone spruce
They're in the entrance area where the mini cactpot broker is right?
raven sage
No
glacial isle
they're the same person :v
lone spruce
tf
raven sage
They're in the yellow zone
remote lintel
masked rose is redolent rose in a mask
fast talon
wdym they look nothing alike
remote lintel
fast talon
anyway theyre on the ground floor
lone spruce
Oh I was getting the quest location coordinates
that's why
I think this week’s fashion theme wants duelist thighboots -_- RIP unique unsellable level 70 job quest attire
agile night
is it really going to make me do this again? I just finished it but had like 4 things in the duty finder when it gave it to me. does it require only queuing for that?
twilit arch
that's for the extreme trial
you can just ignore it for now unless you really want to do it, and if you do then you should make a party finder for it
since people generally don't queue for extreme trials
agile night
well that's rather misleading, idk. the quest marker is right at praetorium
twilit arch
the fight in the praetorium instance isn't the same fight at the ultimate ballad
you're just fighting the ultima weapon for this fight
they're two different instances (even if they technically happen at the same location)
agile night
I'm just going to abandon that quest for now then
agile night
oh how do you do that
fierce cobalt
Open quest log -> tick the grey box twice
agile night
oh nice, thanks
fierce cobalt
remember your 30 quest limit, otherwise all goods
agile night
yeah I usually only start a couple at once and finish them, right now is a small exception because of all the blue quests I found after hitting 50
fierce cobalt
As someone with ilvl480 crafted gear (490 crafted wep), what should I be spending my tomestones on?
This is what I imagine is correct, but I could be very wrong so critique welcome:
Phanstas: upgrade crafted one at a time to ilvl490 per 700 tomes
Allegory: Dont spend at all, save for patch 5.4
outer plank
@fierce cobalt depends, which tomestones? allegory or phantasmals
fierce cobalt
what do you mean?
im asking for advice for both, hence why im listing my current actions for both
outer plank
sorry blind as shit, still sleepy
hasty musk
that's about correct, yeah
outer plank
if you also want to get some mileage out of phantas, save them for 5.4
then convert to allegory
then from there you can buy the new materials in the shop and sell them on the mb for alot of profit first day
ideally you wanna cap out on both before the next patch to take full advantage of this
@fierce cobalt
agile night
oh while I'm at it, this is one of the quests I have. It's worded differently from the others, not just a matter of using the duty finder. is it a matter of luck or is that a likely/easy item to get?
hasty musk
it just means do the duty
outer plank
you'll get it at the end.
agile night
alright thanks
glacial isle
Do how does killing the Hunt Elite marks work?
Cuse I killed the Sewer SLime and nothing happened
raven sage
If you had the bill for it then the seals just go into your currency
It will have a chat log entry as well if you have them turned on still
honest anvil
For rank b and low, you need to check the hunt board first iirc
glacial isle
ah
honest anvil
it’s only the S marks that you can kill whenever
glacial isle
where do I get the bills?
raven sage
the hunt board at your gc for arr
jade quartz
A and S ranks @honest anvil
honest anvil
Near forgotten knights for HW
then kugane holstery sth for SB

they're pretty evenly distributed so long as they aren't on crystal

you had good rng

the best rng
honest anvil
they have all of their “main” stuff at 60 if that helps ...
how they play at 80 dont deviate that much from 60 either
honest anvil
ye but i dont think they play that much different after getting ... more technical but same deal
remote lintel
flourish is part of their burst phase
honest anvil
Certainly more similar than say BLM ... or SMN
rigid narwhal
blm kinda grows as it goes, with flourish you're just given it and have a burst phase all of a sudden
which isn't a concept everyone is used to
remote lintel
the single target rotation for blm from 60 - 80 is basically the same just with despair at the end
and xeno thrown in
fast talon
Or gunbreaker
Completely subjective but GNB feels more complete at 60 than something like DRK
remote lintel
because they do
slate arrow
Completely subjective but GNB feels more complete at 60 than something like DRK
what cerberus said
fast talon
The fact that DRK doesn't get an AoE combo until ShB is absurd
slate arrow
DRK is kinda a weird mish mash until 70 because the blackest night and even then it's missing stuff like AoE 2
fast talon
Spamming one button in dungeons gets boring real quick

why does the Zodica weapon-books require more FATEs
Relic weapons are grindy by nature since they're supposed to be end game content. I never did the ARR ones but I hear they're some of the worst in terms of grind.
remote lintel
they are
glacial isle
TBh, this is Book 1 of 9 but the worst part are the FATEs
because I need specific ones
fast talon
I'm kinda relieved that I saw the SB relic weapons and think they all look kinda bad lol I don't want to grind for them again
glacial isle
you did pick the grindiest one
there are no other ones rn
fast talon
Well HW has their own
remote lintel
if you beat HW theres the anima ones
glacial isle
Well I'm not there yet so I did the ARR Relic ones
fast talon
The anima weapons look cool and the grind is basically just tome farming
glacial isle

Does anyone know why I wouldn't be able to open the No.2 Type B material storage crate? I had one of the items (boots), but discarded it
signal island
I don't have any other pieces
raven sage
Yeah make sure you get rid of everything since it would only say that if you had more than the boots
raven sage
No it would only pick up whatever is in your inventory
you have something in your pockets you don't realize you still have
signal island
Does it include items not in that set, such as the YoRHa stuff?
little swift
tethers can get near each other
signal island
You were right, thanks
signal island
had the goggles hiding in armory
kind eagle
Tether can touch but not orb
So i can just run to that person
And touch him with tether and turn right
@little swift
little swift
if you have an orb you can run through the tether yes
kind eagle
I give you this pic
Wanna draw a little
Cause i was always afraid my charecter touch them
So i delay for them to move first
little swift
you start at the hitbox
and you wait until the protean is baited
and then you run
kind eagle
Ye i know after the cone
I was just scare to touch other
Now i know
And eh after light rampant
I mark H1 cause im d1
That person went to stack with other people
And i dont think we have time to go back to the number spot and stack
And for fake u have to like stand alone
I died with 80k hp
Is it because im slightly close to other person?

you're not getting hit by axe are you

that just makes adds harder than it needs to be

Can Gather retainers gather every kind of rare node material as long as they're a high enough level?

there are no ARR books iirc
little swift
They shld just remove that
?????????
zinc orbitBOT
kind eagle
Nothing lol
little swift
the real answer here is to do the mechanic correctly
you shouldn't be dying in the first place
hasty musk
that's for scythe
hasty musk
what do you mean for stack or spread
kind eagle
Just keep going north and dps
Then sprint to healer to stack
Cause idk where to go
So for scythe
All go north
Then stack?
Axe follow healer to D then goto shiva?
hasty musk
afaik only melee go north for uptime scythe
little swift
only melees follow for uptime
check for the number of orbs on her halo for whether its stack or spread
kind eagle
Then after that is fake or real?
little swift
look up

Like i cant find it

zoom out more

it's above her head

It gives a temporary buff to all nearby party members, that procs an additional heal when they're hit by one of your AOE heals
halcyon sentinel
is there some way to force the game to drop loot that hasn't dropped yet? I've been doing Hells' Lid for over 20 runs and the healer hat hasn't dropped yet, but I have 2 full pages full of loot that isn't the freaking healer hat
remote lintel
if you could force the game to drop loot then that would defeat the point
hasty musk
the guaranteed drop at the end of leveling dungeons won't give you gear you already have
analog gate
hell's lid, sadly, isn't a levelling dungeon
proud willow
The leveling dungeons that give you 1 free piece can be manipulated by hanging onto each piece from the set. the other dungeons are totally random
halcyon sentinel
it's not defeating the point when it refuses to drop one specific piece of gear when all the other gear isn't rare at all
hasty musk
it isn't?
analog gate
hell's lid is 70
halcyon sentinel
there's no reason for anyone to run Hells' so I've just been soloing it and it refuses anything healer related at all
remote lintel
why are you running the entire dungeon
hasty musk
Or maybe im wrong
I don't know how JP does it, but it doesn't really make sense to me that you'd be paired with a healer but have to go north for uptime scythe
halcyon sentinel
I'm not running the entire dungeon, I'm exiting when I refuse to get the drop from the only boss that drops it
10 minutes per run
