neat mauve
#

i have no idea where the firmament is

marble drift
#

honestly tho there are a million and one pvp mmos.

remote lintel
#

the entrance is at the end of the brume

neat mauve
#

Some might scoff but Elder Scrolls Online PvP is some of the best I've played in an MMO (when its not lagging)

#

I would definitely play that one if you're looking for a pvp experience, open world and instanced

leaden ginkgo
#

ya i enjoyed my time in ESO

neat mauve
#

@remote lintel says I dont have access

remote lintel
#

did you do the quest towards the firmament

neat mauve
#

I sure didnt, which is why I was asking if anything like that existed

remote lintel
#

and i told you that

neat mauve
#

where is it?

#

I'm at the gatekeeper

remote lintel
#

in ishgard next to the aetheryte

neat mauve
#

ty!

tropic frigate
#

I bought the game during the black friday deals, entered the code in the mog station and supposedly I have 30 days now

remote lintel
#

the starter edition comes with 30 days

wintry chasm
#

^

remote lintel
#

did you buy shadowbringers?

wintry chasm
#

You got the starter edition

tropic frigate
#

I bought this one

wintry chasm
#

You should have two codes IIRC

#

One for the base game

#

one for expansions

marble drift
#

the base game gave you 30 days. so you probably entered that one without the expansions

verbal rune
#

Odd

#

Complete edition was one code for me

tropic frigate
#

Yeah

#

I bought the complete edition which is one code

remote lintel
#

were you logged in when you entered the code

tropic frigate
#

Yeah

remote lintel
#

log out

tropic frigate
#

I logged out

#

and returned

#

or should I just quit

remote lintel
#

🤔

verbal rune
#

Did you close the launcher too?

tropic frigate
#

no

remote lintel
#

try restarting the game

wintry chasm
#

^

tropic frigate
#

ok

verbal rune
#

Cause the launcher needs to be updated

wintry chasm
#

^^^

remote lintel
#

yeah you should have downloads

#

to do

wintry chasm
#

Stormblood and Shadowbringers maps and stuff for example

verbal rune
#

16 gb of stuff

tropic frigate
#

Yeah it popped up

wintry chasm
#

Yeah you'll be good now Jam

tropic frigate
#

Thanks for the help!

neat mauve
#

I need to be level 60 to do the Ishgard resto stuff?

marble drift
#

no

#

well...to start yes?

#

to do. no

faint flare
#

To unlock it, lv20 to actually use it as crafters

hardy lichen
#

i need to do the crystal tower to progress the msq, where do i go? T_T

faint flare
#

Lv10 as gatherers

remote lintel
#

legacy of allag in mor dhona

faint flare
#

Mor dhona, legacy of Allag

marble drift
#

Blue quest in Mor Dhona

faint flare
#

Do that entire quest line

neat mauve
#

Ooh okay good to know, ty

hardy lichen
spark swan
#

Should point the way by clicking the quest thingy

neat mauve
#

I thought i could just stroll in as a level 3 crafter lmfao

marble drift
#

you can pick up vendor mats and just auto-craft your way to 20

#

from low level stuff

#

and then head to Ishgard for the rest of the leveling

red dragon
#

heyyyyy, is The Great Hunt going away in this patch or is it permanent content?

hasty musk
#

permanent

#

if it wasn't permanent it'd have disappeared a long time ago

marble drift
#

considering it was a Stormblood thing first

tidal yarrow
#

how to get embrace? i know marriage is involved

rich bay
dusky jackal
#

i’m still new to this game but how do you presave your outfits according to class/job

patent citrus
#

/gearset

rich bay
#

For saving gears use a gearset.

If you want to keep the appearance always the same:

Make a glamour plate and like that to a gearset, when you update the gearset the glamour plate will keep the appearance same.

tidal yarrow
#

i know you can't attend the marriage cross server but maybe the first steps including embrace?

remote lintel
#

no you cant marry someone from another server

tidal yarrow
#

aight thank you.

leaden ginkgo
#

is it cheaper to repair your own gear or use a mender?

remote lintel
#

self repair is free

leaden ginkgo
#

don't you have to buy crystals?

#

the grade 7 things

marble drift
#

dark matter yes

remote lintel
#

you dont have to buy it with gil

#

and self repair can go beyond 100%

leaden ginkgo
#

how far beyond

#

and does that give extra stats at all

remote lintel
#

up to 200% or something?

#

and no

leaden ginkgo
#

pretty cool

rich bay
#

@leaden ginkgo

When you repair your own gear, the game simply adds 100% to the durability.

So if the durability 67% for example, the resulting Durability is 167% when you self-repair it, NPC menders can only repair up to 100%, so self repair is very useful.

leaden ginkgo
#

gotcha

#

repairing thru npc is super quick n ez

#

so i was wondering if its cheaper to do it yourself

ripe hound
#

Is there a way to see how many times pulls you have done for a boss?

#

Like on FFlogs?

leaden ginkgo
#

also u have to carry crystals around with you right?

remote lintel
#

fflogs counts each encounter

ripe hound
remote lintel
#

upload your logs

ripe hound
#

Oh I mean like lifetime pulls

leaden ginkgo
#

i doubt it

ripe hound
#

How many times I died to e8s in the past few months in total

remote lintel
#

not unless you used fflogs every time and then counted them all up

rich bay
#

@leaden ginkgo

Yeah, true.

Self-repair can be a lifesaver. Because you can repair everywhere, even in duties.

Also because it gets beyond 100% repaired you don't need to repair that much.

It is up to 199% btw. 99% + 100.
(The game doesn't allow repair gear that is 100%+ ofc.)

ripe hound
#

I see... but yeah, I did use FFlogs all the time, but going though all logs to count seems too much work

#

I do wish fflogs have a small window that show you how many failed attempts you have

leaden ginkgo
#

how do you get the dark matter crystals?

remote lintel
#

wolf marks, gc seals, buying them

patent citrus
#

buy from npc, it's cheap o_o

rich bay
#

@leaden ginkgo

Sold almost everywhere, just go to any vendor in a city or town.

leaden ginkgo
#

cant see why go thru the hassle instead of just using npc

#

xD

remote lintel
#

because eventually it becomes like 3k gil to repair one set of gear every time

#

and then you have like 10 sets of gear

rich bay
#

Simple, you can repair everywhere.

And like Ceberus says, higher item level gear is more expensive to repair.

leaden ginkgo
#

ill do that instead

#

ty :]

patent citrus
#

convenience trap :p although i use npc myself

amber ingot
#

can we get somehow to the roof of ala migho castle , the one at SB ending ?

remote lintel
#

no afaik

patent citrus
#

ooo thought the story will lead you there

#

that's what i remember

remote lintel
#

i think theyre asking if they can go back

patent citrus
#

ow re-visit

twilit karma
#

You mean to the Royal Menagerie area? Yeah you can

amber ingot
#

ye , how?

twilit karma
#

You just talk to one of the guard dudes outside

amber ingot
#

outside there is only the ala migho dungeon entrance :/

twilit karma
#

They should have a gate icon looking thing on your minimap

faint flare
#

You need to progress the story slightly past 4.0 iirc

#

I think completion of 4.1 or something unlocks it

wintry chasm
#

^

#

Yeah

agile night
#

I just clicked the wrong thing and retainer sold an item in a shop, is there anyway to undo that? can usually buy back from shops

#

oh nvm. I closed the "sell items on marketplace" retainer page and there was an option right there in the menu. I was afraid to do anything incase closing that page locked it in

leaden ginkgo
#

Am I allowed to change the buttons I use for my skills ?

patent citrus
#

esc -> keybind -> hotbar

tame dove
#

Hey, how far through the msq do I go through before I start focusing on getting better gear mostly? Like, do I stop focusing as much on the msq once I get to lvl 80 and start focusing more on doing dungeons for better gear? Or do I just keep doing the msq and only start focusing on gear after I finish it?

ionic hazel
#

Am i supposed to use Heart of stone on cd as a GNB?

patent citrus
#

eh? but msq gives you better gear? msq and blue quests will gives you access better gear or give you the gear

#

yeah use it on cd, it's mitigation for boss normal attack

oblique yew
#

What are the pre requirements to start farming for relic weapons?

patent citrus
#

usually the end of each expansion, you'll see one of the blue quests available to you

tame dove
#

Ah, so I do just keep going through the msq even at level 80?

open coral
oblique yew
#

I finished ARR, can I start farming them?

tame dove
#

Ah okay, so now that i'm 55 I should be focusing on the augmented poetics gear?

patent citrus
#

if you like the glamour, sure 🤔

#

@tame dove if you finished ARR, you should be buying them from the blue pouch npc available for you in main cities

open coral
#

At 55 you should have at least an Ironworks weapon, and enough poetics for more already.

patent citrus
#

it will costs you around 3.5k poetics in total

#

not sure where are you in MSQ right now

tame dove
#

I'm up to the praetorium atm

open coral
#

Although you can get decent gear from leveling dungeons now, and just save poetics until you hit 60 and can buy Shire gear.

tame dove
#

Not sure where ARR actually ends, is it after this quest or after the patch quests?

patent citrus
#

ah yeah, not yet I think shortly after praetorium

open coral
#

The Ultimate Weapon (the quest you're on right now) is the last quest in the 2.0 MSQ

tame dove
#

I managed to buy an augmented ironworks shield (playing paladin)

#

But didn't have enough for anything else

#

Yeah i'm on the ultimate weapon

patent citrus
#

ooo yeah, you need to do more duty roulette

open coral
#

There are then another 50 or 60 quests between that point and the beginning of HW

patent citrus
#

do duty roulettes once per day

open coral
#

Basically, you're overleveled for content.

tame dove
#

Ohh okay, so I should be doing duty roulette once per day is it?

open coral
#

We recommend doing at least MSQ roulette the first time per day for the free 500 poetics.

barren basin
#

Hey guys, I'm a returning player that's new to endgame, i have the Neo Ishgardian set for my bard, where do i go from here?

patent citrus
#

yeah and frontline challenges if you are at it

#

all duty roulettes gives exp+all kind of tomes depending on your level

#

so if you can, you should do them all once per day

open coral
#

You can also unlock the 50/60/70, Trials, and Alliance Raid roulette upon completing The Ultimate Weapon, which will also offer a first-daily bonus of poetics tomestones.

jade quartz
#

Just start earning Tomestones

stable hinge
#

when we we likely to get glowing weapons for the other SB trials like susanoo and byakko

jade quartz
#

Don’t worry about much else since patch is in a few days

oblique yew
jade quartz
tame dove
stable hinge
#

oof

open coral
#

Yes, the Mor Dhona vendors sell the same augmented ironworks gear that you can get from the new vendors in the major cities.

tame dove
#

Okay, so to summarise, right now my goal is, while getting to level 80 is work through the msq and do all the duty roulettes each day, and work on getting the augmented ironworks gear?

open coral
#

@tame dove Once you finish the Praetorium, you should have enough poetics to buy a sword.

#

Correct.

patent citrus
#

yeah, and also blue quests

tame dove
#

Ohh, so do the job specific quests

open coral
#

Once you've gotten a full set of poetics gear, you can just save up your poetics to start grabbing the level 60 Shire gear.

patent citrus
#

ehh if it's the job you are playing, you need to do all the job quests

tame dove
#

I've done them up to a point, but now instead of that it just tells me to do "My feisty little chocobo", not sure how to get the next job quest

open coral
#

Which by that point you should be pretty close to being able to equip.

#

Go do My Feisty Little Chocobo

oblique yew
#

So should I buy the whole ironwork set, weapons and armour, before progressing through msq?

open coral
#

That lets you use your chocobo as a combat companion

patent citrus
#

well you don't need to.. but it's convenient to wear ironworks set

open coral
#

As Vie said, it's basically a matter of convenience

tame dove
#

Ah okay, so basically my goal is while leveling to 80 to get the level specific gear and work through msq

open coral
#

Pretty much.

tame dove
#

What about when I hit lvl 80? Do I keep doing the msq from there or just focus on specific dungeons?

oblique yew
open coral
#

Your priority will always be msq, then bluequest

open coral
#

That's it.

spring tendon
#

So I just spent some money to boost archanist....or rather I did last night I have realized I dont have the time to fully commit to this game 100% and I wanted a DPS and a healer role alongside of my tank role PLD. (For now. Once I unlock DRK imma be maining that).

I've done some research into the rotation of summoner...would it be smart to practice it in parts? Or rather like...try to master the first six actions then bump it up to seven and so on

open coral
#

The level 70 Scaevan gear is, however, unfortunately locked behind finishing the 4.0 MSQ

open coral
faint flare
#

Well you're basically practicing filler phase until you get dreadwyrm

#

Everything prior to dreadwyrm is filler

#

For you to look and go over

manic flare
#

is akhmorning only summoner related stuff?

faint flare
#

No

#

It has other casters on it

#

And a few other things

manic flare
#

i couldnt find the rotation for the class i was looking for on akh

faint flare
#

Its only casters atm

spring tendon
#

Thats what I mean. I tried doing the rotation fully but I failed hardcore. Like I'm so slow that dreadwyrm trance expires instead of me mainly cancelling it via...that one spell. Like eventually I want to practice the full rotation but until I get tje speed to do it cause muscle memory....

gleaming mist
#

if you want info for others jobs, then you can go to saltedxiv

faint flare
#

You dont stay in the entwr duration of dreadwyrm that often

#

Dreadwyrm offers no dps benefits UNLESS its a heavy movement phase and the instant casts allows you to not use ruin 2s

open coral
#

Your best option to get the muscle memory and increase your rotation speed would be to group your spells on your bars in such a way that your Dreadwyrm rotation is in one spot and your downtime rotation is in another.

faint flare
#

More often than not, you end dreadwyrm after a few gcds

open coral
#

If your bars have logic to you, then you won't have to think as much about what you're doing.

manic flare
#

question for anyone who is playing.....are people not focusing so much on dungeons today as much as on completing the yokai stuff? because my tank queues have been in the teens in terms of waiting

spring tendon
#

Thats what I have it as. I'm on ps4 so all my oGCD are on the D-Pad and my GCD is on Cross, Square, Triangle, and Circle

faint flare
#

Its going away sooooo...later comers are scrabbling

manic flare
#

is there going to be significant downtime on monday?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

24 hours

#

Exactly

manic flare
#

starting when?

faint flare
#

10am gmt

#

Check lodestone for details

spring tendon
#

And I even have it set up so rekindle bahamut and summon bahamut are the exact same button

#

To help muscle memory

faint flare
#

Unless you're using that Better launcher summoner macro stuff, probably gonna hinder you more

#

Since its also enkindle phoenix

spring tendon
#

Base bar is L2 + Square to enkindle and then summon is L2 + R2 + Square

faint flare
#

Oh yeah that type of same button

#

My Summoner hotkeys are wack

#

But the site has some hotbar layouts but eh

#

As long as stuff is quickly accessible and easily seen

manic flare
#

so 5 AM EST on tuesday is when we can play again?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

It will come up exactly on time

spring tendon
#

What's the maintenance for? I saw no news of it and I'm at work rn

open coral
#

5.4 patch.

cursive terrace
#

How do you remove an etherite from your favorites? I missclicked

jade quartz
#

You just overwrite it with another one

cursive terrace
#

Oh nice

#

Thanks

pseudo ridge
#

or are aesthetite penta-melded better

faint flare
#

Aesthete is better for now

jade quartz
#

Aesthete penta are better

faint flare
#

The final update for them is 5.45 where its probably highlu likely better

jade quartz
#

By the end of the expansion fully-upgraded skysteel may quite likely be better.

#

Also current skysteel are still good enough to craft anything.

#

And they’re pretty easy to get

#

Personally I’d say they’re worth it

pseudo ridge
#

Yeah i think i might do the relics since itll future proof it atleast until the next expansion comes out

rich bay
#

Beween pentamelded aesthete and the relic is only +21 craftmanship or +14 control difference in favor of the crafted tool

cedar compass
#

Do I need to do the whole grind for every gatherer relic

#

Or you skip some phases?

rich bay
#

You need to start from the beginning. Can't skip phases.

faint flare
#

Whole grind

cedar compass
#

Ugh

#

Is the crafter relic easier?

little swift
#

crafter relic is just making the requisite items with the tool equipped

cedar compass
#

But you need to grind scrip?

thorny knoll
#

do some things on party finder show for your current world only?

little swift
#

scrips aren't exactly difficult to obtain

#

you can filter by Datacenter, world and private parties @thorny knoll

thorny knoll
#

like if i join a different world, i see different fate parties up

faint flare
#

Usually people put fate parties as a PF only people on that world can seems

thorny knoll
#

oh, its a setting for when you setup the listing?

faint flare
#

PFs by default are cross world but you can make them visible to only people on that world

thorny knoll
#

ah

cedar compass
#

You can also just world travel

#

No reason to limit it imo

faint flare
#

People mainly do it for fate groups so people doing fates in that world can see it. Not too many reasons for other worlds to see it

little swift
#

Fate groups/trains further benefit from non-cross-world parties from sharing teleports and such

grim badger
#

Hey guys stupid question but what duengeons do you start getting good gear? like mounts and stuff?

faint flare
#

Dungeons dont drop mounts often, there's like 2 or something dungeons that drop mounts

honest anvil
#

wait which 2?

faint flare
#

Mount drops are usually from extreme trials and the last fight savage raids tiers

#

Ala mhigo drops one and another I'm forgetting

twilit arch
#

the only mount from a dungeon is ala mhigo

faint flare
#

Or its just one

honest anvil
#

wutttt?

twilit arch
#

the magitek predator

little swift
#

Magitek predator

grim badger
#

okay but when do they star dropping good gear and stuff?

faint flare
#

It drops the first boss of Baelsar wall

grim badger
#

and thank you

faint flare
#

All dungeons are good gear

wintry chasm
#

^

#

It's just, over the course of patches it looks way worse than the gear that comes out at the end of an expansion

faint flare
#

Dungeon gear is equal to HQ gear and tome gear of the same ilvl

grim badger
#

okay thank you

little swift
#

It doesn't matter as long as its in a ring slot

#

Actually

#

Nvm

raven sage
#

No it has to be in the right ring slot

little swift
#

It says needs right side

raven sage
#

But either way you can right click and equip to the ring slot

little swift
#

Just try the ring on

#

And see where it appears

#

If its your right hand

#

You got the right slot

raven sage
#

Still to save you time just right click the ring

#

It should ask you which slot

#

Or whatever your subcommand button is

little swift
#

Re: to this. Its super easy to get through the fates so everyone that wanted to do it did it within the first month or so.

#

And grinding in Bozja was a fine enough alternative as well

#

could finish all of the memories at the same time as cluster farming

mental garnet
#

what ilvl does the puppets' bunker sync down to?

tame dove
#

How do I unlock other duty roulettes? All I have right now is the main scenario one

twilit arch
#

puppet's doesnt have an ilvl sync

#

oooo ok

actually snowryn's picture is much better, it shows the whole route

hello quick question, when next week is 5.4 coming out?

#

Tuesday

#

Servers go down Monday for it

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok I’ll try thank u guys! 💙 I failed geography at school that’s my excuse! 😂

olive inlet
#

when monday in est?

faint flare
#

Maint will be 24 hours exactly

#

See lodestone for times

olive inlet
#

ooooooh tahts a long one

#

ight, thanks

faint flare
#

It will NOT be up early

twilit arch
#

correct

faint flare
#

Servers never go up for Savage or if housing is added

#

Pretty much so the world race doesn't get messed with

open ember
#

do people still do rival wings or should i keep doing frontlines for marks?

glacial isle
#

All the gear you get from quests in Idyllshire is just a stopgap until I can afford the full Shire set right? (Or Glamour)

twilit arch
#

no there's plenty of people who stream their world first prog

#

viable contenders

faint flare
#

Some viable

#

The super ultra mega hardcore usually dont

#

But others do

delicate stone
#

How do savage pugs work on NA? I've only played on JP server and they use macros to show and assign mech positions

lone spruce
faint flare
#

Yes

twilit arch
#

top category in twitch, not likely

faint flare
#

Thats a cave virrah

twilit arch
#

if it was ultimate, it would be a bigger boost yes

faint flare
#

You enter it on the second floor of the tower

twilit arch
#

but savage world first isn't that much of an interest boost

lone spruce
#

There’s a tower? Where??

faint flare
#

Where the aetheryte is

twilit arch
#

that's not forelands

#

that's rak'tika

faint flare
#

Oh looked familar

delicate stone
#

@unique oasis Any reason why NA doesn't adopt macros?

faint flare
#

You there by the cave further north

remote lintel
#

because they cant communicate

delicate stone
#

Yeah, but macros feel self explanatory o_o

remote lintel
#

people dont want to

faint flare
#

NA people can never decide a strat to do

#

And argue

#

Constantly

delicate stone
#

Oh... that's unfortunate

little swift
#

There will be a commentary/organizer stream that will oversee some/host some of the world racers as well

stuck flame
#

okay, I just hit level 80, is there anything I can do for immediate gear upgrade

remote lintel
#

!faq gearguide

zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
#

get your job set

stuck flame
#

I cleared shadowbringer

#

got that already

#

I bought some neo ishgard accessories but the rest is too expensive

#

I am at ilevel 428 rn

remote lintel
#

you dont have to buy neo ish

faint flare
#

Do eden raids for gear

#

And nier raids when you get the ilvl

delicate stone
#

hmmmmm, well shoot :/ was thinking about making an NA alt since EST time zone and Tonberry timezones are pretty rough, but NA just sounds... unpleasant lol

faint flare
#

Also get your relic weapon if you've done the lv70 24mans

spring tendon
#

Oh before I forgot. As a scholar when should I use each fairy? What healing spells should be my primary focus? And finally what combination of spells should I use to have some for of dps?

faint flare
#

They're the same

remote lintel
#

doesnt matter what fairy you use

faint flare
#

There's no difference

remote lintel
#

prioritize ogcd heals

#

put up your dot and spam broil

leaden ginkgo
delicate stone
#

got through e5-e7 in a couple months with a couple pugs pracs each week no problem, but haven't made it past add phase in e8 like that; you think I'd have any luck w/ statics on na?

spring tendon
#

There isnt? That's kinda dumb. Then what's the point?

And got it. Was curious cause since boosted summoner I'm scrabbling to catch up scholar for my healing role.

remote lintel
#

because they used to be different

faint flare
#

Its a hold over from that

remote lintel
#

but one fairy was clearly better

faint flare
#

Now basically artificial glamour

remote lintel
#

so they stopped being different

Okay, that makes sense

#

Alright. Thanks so much. Now back to work before my boss yells at me TwT

little swift
#

Every pf is an lr prog pf to some extent

delicate stone
#

Yeah, I'm mainly thinking about how to prog next tier, I hit 80 right before 5.3 was released, so I'm pretty satisfied w/ how I've done in savage so far; just hoping to actually clear the upcoming tier xD

little swift
#

Clearing through pf definitely doable

delicate stone
#

Gotcha, I guess I'll keep trying on Tonberry and hopefully ride the wave of decent players cuz you're right that every party is an LR party at this point

#

or a dd party shivers

little swift
#

A static does make it more consistent feeling

#

But won't be the reason you don't clear

delicate stone
#

Imo, the benefits of statics are any progress made as a group (hopefully) persists. The downsides are that any drama also (definitely) persists

#

Oof, I'd love a chill 2nights a week static in my tz, all the ones I see recruiting are like 6hrs x 5 days first week xD

young fjord
#

I think that is the most importent thing when joining or making a static, make sure everyone is on the same page what you want to get out of it

little swift
#

Keep checking recruitment

young fjord
#

New reqruitment page?

little swift
#

Itll probably increase a bunch on tuesday

young fjord
#

If it makes you feel any better, I dont even do savage

little swift
#

As well as the balance, erc , etc

Little QUestion: Since their are Birdwatchers in Pyros, Aenemos und Pagos - Is there also a possibility to buy these scales in hydatos from a birdwatcher?

hey guys what is a good healer to start with?>

faint flare
#

White mage

remote lintel
#

the only one you can start as is conjurer

faint flare
#

Its the only healer you can start as, conjuerer/white mage

balmy pond
#

how about if im levelling a sub class

#

im a bard lvl 50

faint flare
#

Still white mage

#

Its the easiest healer

balmy pond
#

oh ok thanks 🙂

verbal prism
#

Do you guys know if they nerf the Weapon farm in hydatos?

faint flare
#

Probably not

#

They would have done it already if they were tbh

toxic ridge
#

..There's a hydatos weapon farm? What is it?

faint flare
#

Eureka

#

Its the last eureka step of the relic

#

For lv70

jade quartz
#

Eureka has been nerfed all expac by Echo buff.

#

The items required etc. have not been nerfed.

tropic frigate
#

There is one thing I've been wondering about tho

#

Let's say 2 people do a lvl 50 dungeon

#

1 person has lvl 50 equipment and the other has lvl 80 equipment

#

I know the games scales down the stats of the lvl 80 one

#

but does it scale to the point that both ppl are equally strong?

#

or will the higher lvl always have an edge, as small as it may be

remote lintel
#

if its not specified then it scales to the highest ilvl of that expac

tropic frigate
#

I get that but I'm just wondering if the mechanics will measure your power to that of your party or if there's a max

#

Yeah, that answers pretty much what I was wondering

faint flare
#

Like cerb said, unless the duty specifies then the game will sync the high-level people down to the highest ilvl of that time period

#

At lv50 its i130

#

Which is why castrum and praetorium are face roll as fuck

tropic frigate
#

Aight, thanks for the explanation

faint flare
#

Those yellow boxes on the duty finder are the sign there's additional ilvl sync placed

So Stone vigil hard syncs to 110 as specified, while something like Qarn hard will sync to 130

shrewd prawn
#

so house does buying a house for an fc

#

if someone lower buys the house does it technically belong to the guildmaster

jade quartz
#

No it belongs to the FC

shrewd prawn
#

but like the fc is controlled by the guildmaster so they would be able to control all the housing settings and stuff right

jade quartz
#

Though yes whoever is the guildmaster could technically kick out every FC member and become a FC of one that owns the house

#

Yes the guildmaster along with whoever has rank permissions can control all the housing settings

shrewd prawn
#

okay that was my question

thorny knoll
#

i often see shouts of pple handing out santa/dream outfits for free. is this a scam?

shrewd prawn
#

thanks

faint flare
#

No

shrewd prawn
#

@thorny knoll msg them and have them trade you

#

its hard to scam in game if you don't offer any of your own belonging

jade quartz
faint flare
#

People who completed old seasonal events, like super old, can rebuy event items for super cheap gil

#

Like the dream set

#

And people hand them out so they can have it

remote lintel
#

is the dream set on mog?

jade quartz
#

Yes

obsidian patio
#

The original is still tradeable

jade quartz
#

But only those who completed the event all those years ago can get more from Calamity salvager for a little gil

#

So they have an infinite supply to trade

remote lintel
#

wtf i havent seen people handing them out

jade quartz
#

People do it in Limsa or party finder

remote lintel
#

👀

boreal storm
#

I saw some try to give away parasols in lisma

#

Then I remembered Trials can’t get traded things

twilit arch
#

can also check the mb for them

#

but there's also a chance the mb is gonna be over priced

thorny knoll
#

ok confirmed not a scam

#

from this one guy at least

jade quartz
#

It’s not a scam

#

And you shouldn’t be suspicious when you see one lol

#

There’s no way they could reasonably scam you

remote lintel
#

he did say it was free

oblique yew
#

what is this ancient tower quest line?

#

can i do it at any time?

remote lintel
#

you need to do it to get to HW

faint flare
#

Crystal tower is required to get to heavensward

#

You need to do allll of it

oblique yew
#

ahh. crystal tower. my bad. woah. was this there before?

remote lintel
#

yes

barren basin
#

guys i finished all msq's recently, is there any blue quest i should complete first?

remote lintel
#

they made it a requirement

faint flare
#

It unlocks after completing castrum and praetorium

remote lintel
#

@barren basin did you unlock all raids?

oblique yew
#

ok. is it a puzzle type of thing? or can i muscle my way through?

faint flare
#

No

remote lintel
#

its a raid

barren basin
#

no i havent

#

just a few

faint flare
#

24mans are just larger dungeons

scarlet sandal
#

It used to be side content but now it's basically main story

remote lintel
#

@barren basin do all of them

barren basin
#

aii

#

thanks

remote lintel
#

if you want a starting point the stormblood alliance raids are required to get your lvl 80 relic weapon

#

the stormblood 8 man raids also have a good story

barren basin
#

will do after i finish heavenwards 8 mans

#

and is going for max ilvl is a must or its preference?

faint flare
#

Preference really, you only really need ilvl to enter content

#

Bis is only "needed" for ultimates

#

But there's only 1 lv80 ultimate which uses i470 gear due to sync

barren basin
#

oh ok

scarlet sandal
#

You got to use legacy movement i think it was and walk backwards then jump into it

jade quartz
#

You mean standard movement

#

But shouldn’t you be able to rp walk then

scarlet sandal
#

Or standard yeah

pseudo ridge
#

oh ok that's probably why.. i play on legacy controls

scarlet sandal
#

I honestly have no idea how people can stand standard

glacial isle

where can i get level 60 jewelry for botanist

twilit arch

It’s a university gown

You’re hogwarts tank

You're a tank Harry

Harry gives up his wand for a large sword and casts "Ebony Darkness" at Voldemort

vale brook
#

A while back after 5.3 dropped there was someone posting a series of how the MSQ felt after the ARR trimming on the main sub.
Does anyone have links to that or remember something distinct about them that I could search for (MSQ, ARR, etc and terms like that are too wide)?
I’m trying to push my sprout friends through the postARR slog and it’s going a bit different than I remember.

open coral
#

The majority of the changes in post-ARR were the removal of "fluff" quests. Things like going the quest where you have to go save Tataru from herself when she decides to become a Miner to raise funds for the Scions.

#

Post-ARR was where the majority of the MSQ pruning happened.

open coral
#

Was there some specific thing you were trying to remember to help your friends that went differently?

glacial isle
vale brook
#

The last big thing we did was Moogle Hard, and I was expecting us to get the series of EXs or Coil, and I was hoping I could start taking them into some difficult content like that.

#

The last thing we saw was Y’shtola in the mining outfit.

open coral
#

Oh, the EX stuff is still exactly where it always was. That wasn't connected to the MSQ directly so it's unchanged.

#

Likewise Coils

faint flare
#

Exs and savage tier content like coils are never required

open coral
#

The EX quests are behind the (Hard) quests back at the Waking Sands.

#

As always.

vale brook
#

I know I just can’t QUITE remember how far we are from accessing them.

So just go look for Urianger at Sands?

open coral
#

If they've cleared "The Ultimate Weapon" the quests should be available from Urianger, yes.

faint flare
#

You can access them the moment you clear that

#

After doing the hard mode primals causr arr is wack

twilit arch
#

for coil, you need to complete the side quest chain "A Recurring Problem"

open coral
#

Just remember that those are sequential, and require the corresponding (Hard) mode versions (also from Urianger at the Waking Sands)

twilit arch
#

which starts with minfilia in the waking sands

faint flare
#

All the side content people do at level caps at unlockable after finishing the levelling story of that part of the game

vale brook
#

Sweet. For me dying in EXs was when I saw the game could be hard, so I wanna show my friend that lol

I’ll let them decide how to deal with Coils though.

open coral
#

Basically, pray return to the Waking Sands.

vale brook
#

Awesome. Thanks everyone.

faint flare
#

Just be ready for like 7 hour ques

open coral
#

Honestly, just have your friend continue through the MSQ and they'll quickly hit the difficulty spike.

#

The Chrysalis still causes wipes because people do p2 wrong.

#

ARR EX trials, even synced, aren't typically much of a challenge except for maybe Ramuh.

vale brook
#

Yeah I remember my time through them. I just wanted to mix it up for them, but I feel like it gets harder to sell the slog the more I have to try it—they have the sort of attention span that needs the variety.

#

Biggest goal is definitely just getting to HW; or at least that long cutscene at the end.

open coral
#

Post-ARR isn't as much of a slog as it once was. I created a new character for the express purpose of going through the redone MSQ and was pleasantly surprised how quickly it went.

#

The Crystal Tower is now a required piece of content though (as it relates directly to the ShB MSQ), so that could be an interesting change of pace for them.

#

Assuming they haven't done it yet.

vale brook
#

They got Crystal Tower and then..... we didn’t follow up with it. It seems like the NPC just left em hanging? I think we collected the four aether sands do we have to go to the gates?

open coral
#

Depends on which point in the quest they got to, but yes. They would have to go to the gate and enter the instanced area around that point.

stable herald
#

How do server transfers work?

open coral
#

If they're on the quest "Labyrinth of the Ancients" they'll need to go to the gates. Earlier steps have other objectives.

stable herald
#

You choose a server and it transfer you whether the serve is full or not?

open coral
#

If the server is closed to new characters at this time, you won't be able to select it.

twilit arch
#

yes you will

#

character creation is not considered during world transfer

stable herald
#

What do you bring with you? Your retainers? Chocobo?

last cape
#

Did they not add the ability to eat while sitting down yet?

twilit arch
#

all that matters is whether the server is congested or not

open coral
#

That's what I meant.

twilit arch
#

that's....not the same thing

open coral
#

Is... it not?

twilit arch
#

a server can be locked to character creation and not be deemed congested

open coral
#

Oh

#

mb then

twilit arch
#

you bring everything but fc/friends list/house @stable herald

gritty oracle
#

In peak hours character creation can be blocked on any server

open ember
#

i mean if you server transfer within the DC your friendlist will just adjust

#

but if its out of the DC it'll say "Unable to Retrieve"

toxic falcon
#

Ok so this is gonna sounds really dumb

#

but what exaclitly are raids

stable herald
#

Thanks!

toxic falcon
#

They arint waht i think they are

faint flare
#

8man raids are typically fights against 1 boss...they usually come in "tiers" consisting of 4 different fights in a tier. See Alexander or Coils

24mans are basically large dungeons with 4 bosses and 24 people in them

toxic falcon
#

So just a 4 team dungons

#

Because whem i think of raids, i think pvp

faint flare
#

24mans are 1 instances with 4 bosses, 8mans are seperate instances with one boss each and seperate loot

toxic falcon
#

instances?

faint flare
#

Yes, anything not in the world actively is a instance

boreal storm
#

Duties

toxic falcon
#

ok

faint flare
#

Duty is another word

glacial isle
#

Where do you get the HW Relic Dark Knight sword? The one Sidurgu has?

agile night
#

on dragoon I just unlocked fang and claw and I'm struggling to see the utility. I can add it to my true -> vorpol -> full thrust rotation, but doesn't look like it really increases dps.

twilit arch
#

either from centurio seals

#

or from the anima quest chain

glacial isle
#

thx

twilit arch
#

the centurio seal one is dyeable

#

first few steps of anima are not but they have glow

glacial isle
#

Anima is post-HW yes?

boreal storm
#

Yes

raven sage
#

@agile night it's another attack so it adds more dps to you by default. It's meant to be used to keep blood of the dragon up which increases your jump potencies

agile night
#

right I can see the blood of the dragon benefit at least. Maybe I'm thinking of dps wrong, I was looking at the potency. It doesn't look like it really increases average potency of my attacks, so I assumed doesn't increase dps

raven sage
#

It's also a massive part of your full rotation once you have nearly all of your buttons

agile night
#

that part makes sense at least

twilit arch
#

blood increases the potency of your jumps

faint flare
#

It increases damage of jumos by 50% and the potency of Fang and claw and later wheeling thrust are stronger than the firsr few steps of your combo

#

Which get stronger with lance mastery and allowing them to chain off each other for a 5 step combo

twilit arch
#

which should be used pretty much on cd so its prettydecent chunk of your dps

manic flare
#

doesn't blood also enable a new move as well

#

geirksoul

agile night
#

alright. I'll try to get used to mixing it in. I might need to rebind keys some

faint flare
#

Thats what we're talking about

#

Dragoon basically revolves around blood of the dragon

twilit arch
#

they just unlocked fang and claw

#

so they dont have geirskogul yet

#

so BotD is just a potency increase to jump/spineshatter plus fang and claw

#

but despite that, you should still build the muscle memory of using it since, as said, its an integral part of later rotation

boreal storm
#

If I switch GCs, does my rank stay?

remote lintel
#

no

faint flare
#

In the old GC. Yes

remote lintel
#

you start at rank 1 in the new gc

twilit arch
#

you'll have to rank up in your new GC

agile night
#

I get the feeling I'm going to need another hotbar soon

twilit arch
#

but everything from the old one is frozen as is

boreal storm
#

Thanks Vinyl

faint flare
#

All jobs use 3 hotbars

remote lintel
#

if you play on mkb you use like 3 hotbars

faint flare
#

At most

agile night
#

ah. alright, yeah I have 2 hotbars and then a global hotbar, I'll just add a 3rd, might as well try to get used to that now

remote lintel
#

make sure you have them unshared

twilit arch
#

you can add skills you haven't learned yet to your hotbars, by the way

remote lintel
#

the class ones

twilit arch
#

that way you can set up how you want your hotbars to be when you're 80 so you can build up the muscle memory as you're leveling

#

rather than having to adjust as you get new skills

agile night
#

yeah that might be a good idea. otherwise I'm just forcing myself to relearn stuff every time

#

is there any such thing as a typical layout people might use? be nice to have something to compare to.

remote lintel
#

its preference

dont u trade inthe tarnish/precision parts to obtain the weapon?

twilit arch

no

manic flare

what are they used for?

boreal storm

Parts are for accessories

manic flare
#

like rings?

twilit arch
#

tarnished parts are for the normal mode gear

#

which is worse than shire

#

precision items are for the anima quest

#

precision drops straight into your inventory so there's no reason to stay behind to roll for tarnished

unless you want the normal mode for glamour and don't want to deal with trying to find people to do savage unsync

If I pass the date of a new wondrous trails and then compelete the old one later and turn it in, do I need to wait for the next time or can I still get a new one

No I mean
The deadline is roughly two weeks, but you can get trails weekly
If I pick up one on a new trails day,go like twelve days before turning it in, will I have to wait two more before getting another one

oblique yew
#

What is off tanking?

remote lintel
#

@potent lava you can turn it in whenever and pick up a new one

off tanking is not aggroing the boss

oblique yew
#

How will I know if the other tank is main or off tank?

#

Does it depend on job or gear?

slate arrow
#

by using chat or seeing who pulls first

remote lintel
#
  1. ask them
  2. if they have stance on
  3. if they pull
#

especially if 2 and 3 happen together

oblique yew
#

Even off tanks will have their stance on right?

remote lintel
#

not in the beginning

#

but a few secs in

oblique yew
#

So the main tank will always deal with boss and the off with the adds and later rejoin with main?

remote lintel
#

you should be bringing the adds in unless theres a specific mechanic with them

#

and no sometimes there are tank swaps

particularly in endgame content

But yeah I really really wish they can implement a way that you can exit a cutscene without skipping it

gritty oracle
#

It's probably a bad idea

#

Queue can pop anytime

after u drop the puddle

after dropping your initial puddle you go to the N or S, near mid

3 puddles drop, start making your way inwards after the 2nd AoE

#

and step into the middle tower if you have two stacks

#

then stand on your clock position to take the protean

#

popping sprint helps with the movement with puddles, since you have a heavy

oblique yew
#

Is it better if I switch to party finder instead?

twilit arch
#

levi hard is in trial roulette

#

So you should be able to find a party relatively easily, but like i said

#

make sure you have Japanese enabled in the language settings

gritty oracle
#

Make sure you have all languages enabled just in case

twilit arch
#

The cogwheel at the top of the duty finder opens the settings menu for it, and make sure J is highlighted

oblique yew
#

What's the setting where there's no level restriction? Is it the Undersized party option?

twilit arch
#

yes, the undersized option will let you go into an instance as your current level/ilvl

oblique yew
#

Ok. Something went wrong, I just went in solo

twilit arch
#

yeah

#

You go in as your current party set up when you select that option

#

you can't be put with a random party when you have the undersized option enabled

Hey guys! Hope you're all alright! I just came back to FFXIV and was getting my bearings first. Now, I'm looking at my equipment and I have no clue what should I do. Since my character is lvl 70 with Ilvl 326 (Lost allagan gear with some materia).

Now sure where to go from there! Should I just push Main Scenario and get what they give me?

slate carbon
#

does it matter what dps class I make my retainer? is it different stuff if I make it a summoner vs a ninja?

twilit arch
#

if you have spare poetics, you can grab a few pieces of scaevan gear from the vendors in rhaglrs, but ultimately yeah i would just push forward with the main scenario quest

#

nope the items are the same, all that is different is what gear you give them and what lvl they can to (assuming both aren't max lvl)

#

When you finish the Stormblood MSQ (4.0) you'll have access to purchase lv 70 Aug. Scaevan gear with Tomestones of Poetics

Does the Aetherochemical Research Facility not have loot besides the Poetiics?

twilit arch
#

nope

mint dust
#

Thanks folks!

glacial isle
#

Will the Singularity Reactor have loot? Or are they saving that for whatever comes after?

twilit arch
#

Singularity doesn't have loot either

ripe hound
#

What’s Singularity Reactor?

glacial isle
#

Thordan

faint flare
#

Trial fights from Heavensward onwards general dont have loot in the story version

ripe hound
#

I have no memory of it

#

Weird

glacial isle

Comes right after ||two Ascians get yeeted?||
||Archbishop becomes a Primal?||
Presumably the end of Heavensward?

boreal storm
#

The location specifically

twilit arch
#

yes thats end of 3.0

boreal storm
#

Because you ||revisit it later for a different primal||, and I was like “wait I’ve been here before?”

oblique yew
#

Yep enabling all languages really helped. Found a party in 3mins

twilit arch
#

if you play on a JP server, you basically have to have JP enabled in the language settings

#

or you're going to be in for a very bad time

command for savage drop?

twilit arch
#

!faq savageloot

zinc orbitBOT

What floors of savage drop which items?

Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

karmic niche
#

ok ty

gritty oracle
#

When buying revelation Gear, should I aim for chest or weapon first?

proud willow
#

You won't be able to buy the weapon until week 7

#

so you can start saving for it on week 5

gritty oracle
#

Oh okay Ty!

proud willow
#

that's assuming you're doing just normal, I guess

faint flare
#

If you're doing savage and clear e10s and win the item, you can get it week 3

twilit arch
#

iirc you can buy chest+pants+helm/glove/boots

#

and still have enough to buy weapon by week 7

manic flare
#

at what point can you unlock m'naago for custom deliveries?

gritty oracle
#

Think 4.0+level 60

manic flare
#

can i use a crafter thats below level 60 to make the delivery

#

or do i have to use the crafter class that's > 60

twilit arch
#

you need to complete the 4.1 msq

#

and also have unlocked zhloe

manic flare
#

i have done both

gritty oracle
#

You have to use 60+

twilit arch
#

m'naago is min 60

Can I choose to just kill Alphinaud

proud willow
#

jokes in the discussion channel please

frozen girder
#

I'm not joking :3

#

Can I kill him at some point

twilit arch
#

no

manic flare
#

you could indirectly kill him

#

by letting him die

in trusts

astral crescent
#

is there going to be a place to watch the race to world's first of the new raid tier? do people stream their progression?

twilit arch
#

some people do stream, yeah

#

on twitch

frozen girder
#

How long do paid emotes take to show up >_>

twilit arch
#

usually single character mail doesn't take too long, can talk to the mail moogle and click on the "request delivery" button or w/e its called exactly to try and speed things up

#

but ultimately just have be a bit patient

remote lintel
#

up to an hour at most

#

ime

leaden ginkgo
#

I believe Method is planning to stream world first race again? Which I find is a fun environment may or may not to be to your taste

#

Otherwise just click the FFXIV category on twitch and the top streams will probably be the people farthest into the tier

frozen girder
#

Also is there a way to get a version of the Black Mage class armor that I can dye red?

remote lintel
#

which one

manic flare
#

are you talking about the one u get in your class quest?

frozen girder
#

Yeah

remote lintel
#

the lvl 50 one?

frozen girder
#

The one which has the neck thingy

#

And the mask

#

That one

remote lintel
#

you get augment materials and trade them in for the augmented version

#

in mor dhona

frozen girder
#

And I can dye that one?

hallow grove
#

are the 5.4 patch notes for the job changes up yet? i think i saw other people talking about it

remote lintel
#

yes glow

#

the prelim patch notes prob have job changes

frozen girder
#

They don't

twilit arch
#

no

#

they don't

#

job changes aren't gonna be in until full patch notes, which will drop during maintenance

#

Can relics be destroyed or discarded? I’d like a weapon better than my current Ruby Tide book for trying to do the magic role quests tomorrow on the Summoner I’ve never played before and if I can somehow make it not take up extra inventory it seems like 1k poes for a ShB relic stage 1 would be more worth than 600 for a Scaevan

#

But I’m worried about not being able to at least shove it on a Retainer or something

#

also need to do all the Summoner 30-70 job quests since like I said I’ve never played this job before but it’s my lone 80 magic DPS

hasty musk
#

how did you get to 70 without doing job quests

#

aren't you missing like half your kit

twilit arch
#

pretty sure you can discard them, but they can be put into retainers or your chocobo saddlebag

#

so unless those are both full danHmm

raw solstice
#

they probably leveled via SCH

hasty musk
#

ohhhh that makes sense

Yeah I’m a healer main so I leveled Scholar to be done with the 80 healers

#

anyone want to join for Castrum Meridianum?

halcyon glen
#

I actually like Red Mage but 71-80ing one class in 2 days was painful enough as it is and I don’t wanna do another atm

#

Since I also wanted a tank role quest done

@long field this isn't the channel for that

have you been queuing for a long time?

Okay I may be stupid but in (ShB spoilers) ||In Good Faith it says to “call Emet-Selch.” I’m not exactly sure how to do this? I tried /whistle and /call, neither of which are commands. Then I tried typing his name in chat and nothing. Do I have to run back to him in the village and speak to him||?

find the location with your lamp

I did

Oh I’m an idiot

It blended in with the blue flowers so I didn’t see the sparkling

#

So will there be another battlecraft crafted set like Neo Ishgard in 5.4 or 5.5? Or should I just grind tomestones for that gear

twilit arch
#

yes, there's gonna be a new crafted set in 5.4

#

but its going to likely be expensive at release

fallen niche
#

Oh I know that, I just hope that if I need alc/ltw mats it just isn't incredibly expensive

#

Is it going to need another master recipe book

twilit arch
#

nope

obsidian patio
#

Expect everything to be overpriced as hell week 1

twilit arch
#

the new recipes will be added automatically if you have the master recipe books already

fallen niche
#

Should I still just do Ishgard resto for 70-80 crafters?

worn bone
#

why do they say culinarian is good for making gil? do you sell high quality food on the market board or something?

obsidian patio
#

Raid supplies

#

Though Culinarian’s profit margins drop pretty hard from my personal observation the longer a patch has been out

worthy basin
#

from the levequests

obsidian patio
#

Since the best endgame food becomes less and less required for meeting DPS checks and it being moved more towards not failing mechanics

glacial isle
#

What's the best food oyu can buy from NPCs pre-Stormblood for BLM?

hasty musk
#

it'd probably be in Ishgard, but you don't really need food for anything at that point in the game

glacial isle
#

I'm at the Gil cap and not currently needing to buy tons of Idyllshire crafting supplies

obsidian patio
#

The food from Ishgard is extremely weak level 40-50 food

#

Nothing good enough to buy as a combat class, IMO

fallen niche
#

Which ex trial is more efficient for gil farming? Shinryu or Tsukuyomi?

obsidian patio
#

Depends on your server

fallen niche
#

Tsukuyomi's mat sells for about triple shinryu's

obsidian patio
#

Compare the prices of the crafting material and the finished weapons, along with whichever sells more often

fallen niche
#

But can't be gotten from desynth

obsidian patio
#

Demand is a big part of it. The Tsukuyomi weapons might be much higher in price but depending on the weapon they can sell much slower

#

So I recommend looking at each weapon and see how often and when the last one for them got sold

fallen niche
#

Where can I find statistics for how many were sold per day?

obsidian patio
#

In the purchase history when viewing an item

#

You can also find weapons with no current sellers and try to stake your claim with a weapon on those

#

And sell a bit higher or around what previous ones sold for

celest fern
#

wHAT TIME WILL maintenance begin?

#

the 7th at what time?

obsidian patio
#

Use !maint in #kupo-bot-spam

fallen niche
#

It seems like the tsukuyomi weapons sell at about the same pace if not slightly faster than Shinryu weapons, but the material is far harder to procure than Shinryu's scale, should I still grind Tsukuyomi anyways?

hasty musk
#

I mean how much do you want that money

fallen niche
#

While I don't need it, I would like to have some decent amount to buy mats if needed for when 5.4 drops

#

That and more money for skybuilders stuff

#

honestly id offload that cuase theres gonna be new primal weapons 5.4 and then people will be wanting to buy those more

#

so there will be a craze for those for aw hile

twilit arch
#

not necessarily

#

there is a possibility of a new primal weapon

#

but that's not assured

silver ruin
#

thought they added primal weapons every major patch?

twilit arch
#

nop

silver ruin
#

oh

#

yea ok its a toss up then

twilit arch
#

assuming they dont intend to go back and add the ones they skipped

#

we'd be a titania

which i don't really see them adding while shadowbringers is still current

obsidian patio

The skipped ones being Zurvan and Susano

#

Up to level 60 what’s the highest ilvl i can get?

fallen niche
#

275

obsidian patio
#

I270, with i275 for weapon

urban isle
#

Thanks!

fallen niche
#

Only I275 for the savage raid weapon though, iirc the shire weapons are still 270

#

Also, I feel the tsukuyomi weapons are still 1.7 mil+ mainly because the material is hard to procure, it's a random chance to show up in a random players inventory, along with the small chance of showing up in the normal loot chest.

#

Even if we get new primal weapons (Titania and Innocence probs) I indeed have some Immaculate wingblades to turn into weapons, so I'm fine on that front.

twilit arch
#

inno doesnt have a weapon

fallen niche
#

Oh yeah, he just drops acessories.

silver ruin

yea thats probably hwy

why*

Would we get like special accessories then?
