#

That’s low dungeons

#

Av is like that because it’s needed for GC rank. DD runs are also horrid.

manic flare
#

so honestly i dont recommend running aurum vale for fast leveling

#

especially now, where there is a flood of newer players

scarlet arrow
#

first room of AV can be tough because roaming adds can make for larger-than-intended pulls

manic flare
#

u really have to hug the left wall yes

#

but even the smaller pulls are hard for new healers in the first room

devout stump
#

Yeah pack size and first boss on regens.

manic flare
#

for whatever reason

scarlet arrow
#

also people stand in puddles because they aren't paying attention -.-

manic flare
#

when im tanking aurum vale with new healer i do 2-3 mobs max in the first room

#

and still my health often goes below 25%

devout stump
#

You mean you try to before the frog travels from downtown to yeet your melee

manic flare
#

i try to isolate the frog by itself if possible

#

but anyway it makes for slow runs

#

dzemael, which gives less exp is probably faster

#

if you account for the fact it's a much easier dungeon

devout stump
#

First room and room directly after coincounter can be rough but overall it’s solid enough for exp. not sure what current potd queue times are myself.

ancient solar
#

Does the main scenerio roulette and alliance raids roulette give much exp like leveling

wispy parcel
#

Main scenerio roulette give almost a full level

#

Alliance gives about a quarter of a level

#

Leveling roulette also is very good for xp

Good morning, I have a question. Can you get reported for using rescue? I hardly ever use it, but sometimes I need to. But if that person doesn't see it that way, can I get in trouble? (Assuming, you're not pulling anyone out of openers, or rotations, etc, etc. I mean legit usage, and legit timings.)

plush hound
#

You can be reported for it's use but nothing will come of it.

winged hull
#

Ok, because I searched around a little earlier, and came across a post about someone being ban for it after 3 warnings? It was a while ago of a post (I think a year ish or 2), but that just seem really out there to be ban for something, while having a legitimate reason. So I wanted to ask, thank you for your time!

plush hound
#

If you get reported the GM's actually look into whether it's a legit use or griefing/trolling. Assuming the person was telling the truth, if they've been warned that many times and then banned it's rather obvious they were trolling.

Ok, thank you so much.

quasi spire
#

is it normal to keep getting disconnected after patches like this?

robust magnet
#

Do Alarms not persist on log out?

#

Patch day, and following day, rule of thumb is to deal with connectivity issues. It's when most people try to play/log in so servers will usually be stressed.
But I myself hadn't had any issues yesterday.

robust magnet
#

Lame.
Would make Gathering so much more enjoyable lmao.

fallow vortex
#

Is it possible to switch back and forth from playing on Playstation and PC?

gloomy ice
#

Yeah I do that all the time. One account can be registered for both devices and they share a single sub.

#

Unfortunately that means buying the game twice

fallow vortex
#

Ah okay thanks for the info!

robust magnet
#

guess I can just make a macro for the timers and then copy them every day.
sometimes I just don't feel like leaving the Bell website up lol.
thanks Eton.

#

whats a good thing to use allegory tomestones on in this patch?

manic flare
#

what's the difference between a shared hotbar and a cross hotbar?

raven sage
#

cross hotbar is for controller

#

shared hotbars are just hotbars that don't change what's on them when you switch jobs

raw solstice
#

ilvl is simply an average across all slots. Add up the ilvl of each piece of gear you have (weapons count twice for jobs without an offhand), then divide by 13 (total number of slots). And then round down

fickle sail
#

Does the display case actually work like people thought where you can put weapons in there or is it just a thing to put a mannequin in?

little swift
#

Have you updated the gear set through the character menu

#

But the gear is shared amongst the jobs?

#

Just 2 different plates linked

#

Then it will do that every time

#

Because its trying to recall the pld set when you swap to gnb

#

But your plate gets reapplied

#

So its now unsaved as the updated version

#

Not the glamour plate

#

The gearset

#

You're repeatedly applying 2 different plates to it

#

It won't auto update as saved for both jobs

twilit arch
#

Basically, you have to live with it if you want to use two different plates on the same gear

#

because its trying to recall one glamour plate, when you're switching to a different one so there's always basically going to be a conflict

upbeat basalt
#

hey, who gives the paladin's quest cause I've completed all the quest's that Mylla gives

twilit arch
#

have you complete the main scenario quest "Sylph Management"

upbeat basalt
#

most likely not

twilit arch
#

then you need to do that first before you can pick up the paladin quest

upbeat basalt
#

alright, thanks

twilit arch
#

but it'll be from Lulutsu, who's the gladiator guild receptionist

upbeat basalt
#

ok

gusty storm
#

if my server becomes preferred, does that mean it wasn’t popular?

#

or is it random

twilit arch
#

just means that SE feels it needs a population boost

gusty storm
#

D:

crisp pine
#

How do you unlock more of the menus in scrip exchange? I only have access to the (50) but I want to get blue tokens which are in the (58)?

twilit arch
#

you need to unlock the various house of splendors.

#

!faq scripunlock

zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
#

so the idyllshire house would unlock the 51-60 stuff, rhaglrs' 61-70, and eumore 71-80

crisp pine
#

So I've unlocked the idyllshire one, but I only get the one menu option for gatherers exchange

#

Weirdly, crafters has 2 options

twilit arch
#

hm, blue scrip tokens should also be under the 50 section

topaz mist
#

any tips for a new lancer i lvl boosted mine and am new to the game?

scarlet arrow
#

boosted to what level?

warm snow
#

If I were to change my retainers job would it reset all experience for that job on that retainer

wispy parcel
#

While I have to question why u boosted Dragoon if youre new, its a pretty simple job

eager widget
#

yes, you’ll have to rebuild from level 1 of the job you select

warm snow
#

And if I were to change it back?

#

Would I have to rebuild from lv1 on that job again?

eager widget
#

you’ll have to, even if you revert sadly

warm snow
#

Good to know thanks

oblique trellis
#

New to Firmament, what do I do with this ore and stuff I got and had reviewed or w/e?

little swift
#

Sell it or use it to make stuff to level your crafters

oblique trellis
#

Oh, I don't see anything in my DoL to craft with it

#

DoH* Crafting log*

little swift
#

Its in the other tab

#

Under ishgard restoration

#

Theres 2 tabs in the menu

oblique trellis
#

Level Based and Special?

little swift
#

One for leveling related crafted items and the other for special stuff like master recipes, custom deliveries,

#

Yah

oblique trellis
#

I only have Housing and Beast Tribe

#

under Special

little swift
#

Have you spoken with potkin in the firmament

#

He's in the far right from when you enter

oblique trellis
#

I believe so, at least once

#

I'll go check again

#

oh...my DoH isn't high enough

#

I went in with DoL no issues 😄

twilit arch
#

what...

#

Of course they fucking know how many characters are on a server

#

you seem to be under a misunderstanding

#

character creation lock is based on how many characters are currently online

#

preferred status is not based on that

#

You don't know the exact data

#

and your anecdotal evidence of how many people you see is

#

not proof of anything

woven night
#

what gear should i get for my combat retainer to get max yeild swallow skin?

twilit arch
#

!faq retainerbp

zinc orbitBOT
#
What are the current retainer breakpoints for max yield?

BTN/MIN: 2083 Gathering.
FSH: 1628 Gathering.
DoW/DoM: Item Level 428.

woven night
#

whats the cheapest way to get to ilvl 428?

twilit arch
#

this is not the fucking place for it

#

either way

fresh lodge
#

Please refrain from trying to pass off your anecdotal experience off as fact

#

You're not going to get banned 😩

#

Anyone on Aether wanna get some maps done...need me that jacket....

fresh lodge
round halo
#

figured id ask here before going elsewhere

open ember
#

This question is for help with looking for items, quests, figuring out mechs or basic technical questions

#

Unfortunately for recruitment this isn't the channel for it

gusty sand
#

Hey so im on ps4 and no matter what class i switch to my paladin abilities always show up on the hotbar if i switch far enough how do i make it so only the abilities i can access show up

gritty oracle
#

Where can I get Levinstrike Aethersand now? Gamerescape doesn't seem to be updated yet.

twilit arch
#

should still be levin mint and thunder rock

glass oxide
#

@gusty sand check your settings and see if you have a shared hotbar

raven sage
gusty sand
#

Ok that worked thanks

lost grove
#

For the new healer set is a mil enough to buy it or should I wait a few weeks more

little swift
#

No a mil is currently not enough for a full set

atomic vine
#

lf> someone to do some relic weapon fates am at 20/20 0/20 13/20

gritty oracle
#

ty! Also, should I aim for 1000 collectability now? Got 750-ish and one mint got 1 sand and the other none.

little swift
#

1k collectability gives chance for bonus rewards on reduction

#

Aim for as high as you can basically

lost grove
#

Should I just sell my neo ish gear if I haven't worn it yet or hold on to it

rigid dust
#

i'd wear it if its an upgrade, or sell it if youre not gonna use it. it's gonna be a gooood amount of time until you can buy the 510 set for 1 mil imo~

little swift
#

It won't have too much value being sold right now

#

Since the 510 set is a thing

lost grove
#

Ok I'll hold on to it

rigid dust
#

is there anything extra i can use to boost my control/cp that stacks with chili crab~? o:

twilit arch
#

tea/syrup, but they will only boost one stat

rigid dust
#

oooh awesome~!! i'll have to look into this c:<

twilit arch
#

tea if you need to be cheap, syrup if you can spend a bit more

rigid dust
#

and im guessing the In Control fc buff doesnt stack with food and stuff, so theres no point in requesting it~? o:

twilit arch
#

it does

rigid dust
#

oh awesome!!

little swift
#

it does, but personally having the food buff duration extension feels a lot better for bulk crafting

lost grove
#

@little swift so how long do u recommend me to wait

rigid dust
#

207.38 days, and if that doesn't end at exactly 3:17 pm local time, add 30 seconds.

little swift
#

give it a couple of weeks for the market to stabilize, its literally day 2 of the tier. unless you're in a rush to clear teh final floor its not super necessary for you to pick this up right now anyways

#

grab some eden's promise normal gear if you have to

lost grove
#

Ok

fallow vortex
#

Does anyone know what I should be crafting/gathering to make a decent amount of gil? (I have most crafters/gatherers at 80 but Im still new at making money with the marketboard)

obsidian patio
#

Anything newly added in this patch, as a general tip for right now

#

Whether it’s the new combat stuff, glamour, or housing furniture

fallow vortex
#

Ah okay, do you know where to find a list of what was added?

obsidian patio
#

Garland tools has their 5.4 data up so you can look there

fallow vortex
#

Ill check it out!

frail shale
#

is copied bunker farmable now?

leaden ginkgo
#

does anyone have the link to the ff14 act discord ;o?

tawny rock
#

is there a way to disable these pointless community finder buttons they seemed to have spread all over the interface in the new update? 😛 i dont need or want them

obsidian patio
agile laurel
frail shale
#

thanks

obsidian patio
naive verge
obsidian patio
#

The new gathering collectable system

leaden ginkgo
#

ty!

fallow vortex
#

Is there a way to check the marketboard prices without being in game? It looks like the companion app might do it but im not sure

tawny rock
#

companion app does that yeah

spare bridge
#

hey was there a new relic step this patch?

obsidian patio
#

Not yet

#

5.45

spare bridge
#

ah, cool thx

tawny rock
#

so i guess no way to disable the community finder buttons then? ive been looking through the settings menus but cant find anything for it.. not that it matters too much but the buttons dont have any function so id rather have em gone :S

obsidian patio
#

Not that I know of. :/

tawny rock
#

aww ok, cant be helped then.. i really dont understand why they put them right next to the close button.. Or why they put them in in the first place 😛

remote lintel
#

they were added so people can go straight to the community finder page for that group

leaden ginkgo
#

Between Darkknight and Gunbreaker is one easier to play optimally?

dreamy tartan
#

need help on Mateus, Lab raid

remote lintel
#

probably dark knight

#

gnb has more than one 123 combo

sacred thicket
#

what is melee bis food atm?

obsidian patio
#

Crit/Det is smoked chicken

#

If you need skill speed then the crit/SkS food is Chicken Fettuccine

zenith blade
#

Is there any way to get crystalline twine other than raid tokens, nuts, or E6S?

twilit arch
#

nope, those are your only options

bitter pivot
#

Is there poetics Tomestone gear for gatherers?

twilit arch
#

no

#

there's scrip gear for them at 50/60/70/80, however

plain python
#

only the Burden of Father raid (normal) give you light for Anima weapon?

obsidian patio
#

All level 50-60 content gives light

eager widget
#

one of the old strats used to be farming A1S but now I think it’s A9S? it’s been a hot minute

twilit arch
#

yeah a9s gives more

#

and can be done pretty fast now

tacit scroll
#

Hey everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right channel for this request but I'm wondering if anyone who uses crossbars/controller can post their new gatherer skill setups? I'm feeling overwhelmed and lost.

plain python
#

lv60 goes into Savage raid makes me feel like a leech. Guess after I get lv70 tome gear or something I will continue the farm :shy:

bitter pivot
#

I just hit level 60 through Diadem but am still running like level 10 or so hat/shirt/pants/shoes with no accessories or belt. What would be the stuff to buy in order to get minimum levels to gather stuff for scripts? Mostly trying to minimize buying gear thatll outdate if Im mostly planning to grind to 80 on BTN

obsidian patio
#

TBH I’ve been using just the new collectable UI so far

#

And since there’s 4 skills you can put them all on one quarter of a crossbar half so there’s not much to really customize

tacit scroll
#

@obsidian patio I didn't know if that was directed towards me lol. The new collectable UI?

obsidian patio
#

Yep

leaden ginkgo
#

where do i find the action collect?

dont see it anywhere in the action list

obsidian patio
#

Collect itself isn’t a placeable action, unfortunately

#

Part of why I mainly use the UI instead of my crossbar

leaden ginkgo
#

so how do i use collect?

obsidian patio
#

You press it when you have enough collectability for whatever you’re getting

leaden ginkgo
#

so it becomes available when i reach the right collectability?

manic flare
#

@bitter pivot check MB, sometimes the gear sells very cheaply

obsidian patio
#

Not sure, I haven’t done a lot of testing on the new system

#

Like collecting at low amounts

leaden ginkgo
#

i think i got it
thanks

gritty oracle
#

You generally want 1000/1000 because there's a chance to get bonus things on reduction

#

not sure about turn-in collectables

elfin edge
#

turn in collectable has a 1000 tier

#

20, 30, 50 white scrips for the top ones

#

(at least for gatherers)

#

600 800 1000 are the cutoffs I think

#

managed to get my lv80 botanist a full set of the new ilvl 500 gear :3

modest igloo
#

is the only way to get the new crpyt twine E11S books?

twilit arch
#

until 5.5, yes

obsidian patio
#

It also drops directly from the duty

#

So you don’t need to spend books on it

twilit arch
#

oh right yeah its a straight drop e11s

modest igloo
#

welp looks like i have to learn that fight

little swift
#

you also have to learn teh 2 fights before it

robust crow
#

and if you've gotten that far you may as well learn e12s too

little swift
#

joining a pf and entering the instance for e11s will void your right to loot from 9s 10s for the week

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

No

robust crow
#

vinyl

#

are you the guy in the video

#

lol

faint flare
#

Just that it would be harder to solo at level

#

Mekkah vid yeah

robust crow
#

ayyy lmao

faint flare
#

Actually rereading the question it would say if it requires a party or not

leaden ginkgo
#

i got a map earlier and I needed a group of 8

faint flare
#

9th man hurts

twilit arch
#

technically, don't need a party for the 8man maps

#

its just recommended

little swift
#

you're only sorta boned if the portal appears

robust crow
#

you can do msot of the 8 man maps with just 3 people

little swift
#

its pretty hard to clear the portals alone

twilit arch
#

4 is usually the safe min if you wanna go into the dungeons

robust crow
#

3 people who are good at their class can do all the challenges in an 8 man map

little swift
#

3-4 is the safe min

gusty sand
#

So im level 76 paladin and 76 white mage but im only level 8 monk bc i just started it today do i really have to grind my way up again

gritty oracle
#

Yes. Do hunting log until 15 and then highest dungeon + roulettes

#

some people say POTd is better for DPS but I'm not personally a fan of it

cursive terrace
#

What does sks mean?

robust crow
#

skill speed

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it possible to find a regular raid group without joining their FC? Im in a FC with some great friends but they aren't savage raiders. I want to get into savage raiding.

twilit arch
#

the reason why people say potd is better (and usually with the caveat that if your dungeon queues are 15+minutes) is because potd doesn't have a hard composition requirement on it

#

and thus for dps is usually the faster queues

gleaming mist
twilit arch
#

yes, plenty of people play with people outside of their free company

#

in fact most FCs are mostly for socializing and not raiding, though there's still plenty of those that do exist

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh snap very cool. Thank you.

woven night
#

to make Gil is it better to be on a crowded server or a low pop server?

zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
#

not necessarily, given that world visit exists and people can server hop

#

being on a lower populated server doesn't necessarily mean its harder to make gil

woven night
#

on chaos would louisoix be considered low pop, I tend to see some housing plots open

twilit arch
#

5.4 turned on auto demolish

ripe hound
#

It’s 40 days from 5.4 release right?

twilit arch
#

so there being some open plots is to be expected, and with the hidden timer it means they're likely not available for purchase yet

#

not necessarily

#

depends on whether the home owners entered the house before timer was paused

ripe hound
#

kk

woven night
#

I saw some open smalls during 5.3 in the goblet

twilit arch
#

either way though, from the unofficial census we have most of the servers are relatively similarly populated

#

So even if a server is deemed "preferred" it doesn't necessarily mean its that much lower than other servers

woven night
#

is there a guide on how to best make Gil during a patch? I tried my hand at making Exarchic gear but non of what I made has sold and the price has already crashed to 500k for some

#

I feel like a headless chicken

twilit arch
#

not really, unfortunately its just a matter of looking at the market and finding your niche to sell

obsidian patio
#

Furniture might still be making good money

#

And the crafted gear is still good profit right now

twilit arch
#

would also look at the new potions and food

#

since its a new tier, those usually are decent sellers for a while

woven night
#

I forgot about potions

gusty sand
#

Anyway level 10 now bc i did like 4 levequests in a row plus a side quest lol

scarlet arrow
#

levels 1-15 go by in a blur with FATEs, hunting log and job quests

#

True

#

when do you usually refresh the warrior dmg buff?

how do i unlock scrip exchange in Eulmore? (just unlocked it in crystarium)

meager patrol
#

Quick question, im at big bug boss in Heavensward

#

and I'm wondering canonically speaking. Am I beating his ass by myself? Or am I somehow smuggling in 7 other dudes to kick his ass with me?

twilit arch
#

you got ppl helping you

meager patrol
#

damn I must have been really sure iceheart was gonna fail

#

so it's me and 7 fanboys?

wintry chasm
#

or fangirls let's not discriminate /s

meager patrol
#

ye but none of these other chumps get any credit

wintry chasm
#

They do sometimes

twilit arch
#

need to do the quest "The Boutique always wins", it unlocks after you do the main scenario quest "City of final pleasures" @kindred minnow

wintry chasm
#

for example ||Castrum Meridwhatever and Prae they talk a fair bit about your "adventurer squad"|| in ARR

meager patrol
#

they do in the quests where you go in knowing its gonna be a big operation

#

like that one and crystal tower

wintry chasm
#

Right

meager patrol
#

but stuff like this primal one for example

#

it doesn't seem exactly practical that I actually have a whole party with me

wintry chasm
#

^

meager patrol
#

I'm just trying to figure out if power wise I'm consdiered as strong as a primal

wintry chasm
#

Some dungeons and stuff poke fun about how improbable it is

#

Well the issue here would depend entirely on the primal now wouldn't it. Power can flucuate greatly also yeah I wouldn't bother trying to scale things like that

meager patrol
#

sorry buddy i go on /r/whowouldwin or not

wintry chasm
#

because then you have to consider shit like special powers

#

and matchups

#

Honestly it's a mess to try and scale what is stronger than what

meager patrol
#

nah its easy

#

every primal is stronger than the previous one

wintry chasm
#

and it doesn't help either since straight level =/ stronger

meager patrol
#

except leviathan who only strong cause he in big ocean

wintry chasm
#

That's not how that works sorry

meager patrol
#

thats scary place for me

gritty oracle
#

likely

wintry chasm
#

I guess especially since this is turning into a discussion

meager patrol
#

i only played heavensward

#

thats scary place for me

wintry chasm
#

Then

meager patrol
#

nah they talking about dumb shit there

#

no bueno

How long would it take to get 70 of those seals?

not long

Can it be done in a few hours?

remote lintel

more like 10 minutes depending if theres A or S ranks around

obsidian patio
wintry chasm
#

Yeah if you see an A or S rank that isn't from Shadowbringers or ARR or you're in a hunt linkshell that is marking them out great go do them otherwise you'll just have to go to the HW and SB hunt boards and picking up bills and doing those @leaden ginkgo

remote lintel

or just use the centurio discord

they post A and S rank locations

I noticed that 5.4 replaced all of my gatherer collectible skills (and also got rid of some without giving me a replacement), are there any macros out for this stuff yet?

okies thank you :)

There anywhere I can find quality pictures of the 5.4 dungeon gear?

open ember
#

its just dohn mheg gear but dyable

agile laurel
#

oh. seriously?

#

well not a total loss I guess but

shell hazel
#

I am seriously having a hard time figure out what to play. I would love to play a machinist but that’s so far away. Lol

I have a lvl 30 lancer , tried some spell caster got to lvl 15 I was not having fun.

Thinkin ninja right now but man so many choices really and lost as I do it lol.

open ember
#

yeahhh...

remote lintel
#

all classes start out slow

#

just pick whatever looks cool

remote lintel
#

those are lvl 80 actions

gilded bronze
#

which one is faster to lvl up gathering up to 60
diadem or levequest?

remote lintel
#

leves

agile laurel
#

i know, but based on 'pick something that looks cool', you may as well have an end goal

gilded bronze
#

i reached ishgard restoration but still lvl 35

remote lintel
#

they were going to switch to mch

agile laurel
#

oh. yeah

#

some jobs have a feedback loop more recognisable at like, level 50 or so, but at low-low levels it's all gonna be similarly kind-of-slow

onyx kiln
#

as a WHM, is it better to use Presence of Mind for healing or DPS?

agile laurel
#

as a rule

#

dps

#

it increases your haste and thus can be used to spam more glares

#

holding it for healing is a waste on paper

#

and you don't really need it for healing anyway

#

however it can be useful to cut the cast time of your raises a bit, in a pinch

onyx kiln
#

thought it could come in handy for slightly faster rez if swiftcast is out

agile laurel
#

true, but it's too potent a dps tool to hold for emergencies

#

same as applies to assize

#

so yes, you're not wrong, but also it enables a lot of damage from you

manic flare
#

what does the tannk limit break do\

raw solstice
#

party-wide damage mitigation

onyx kiln
#

how much faster is 20% of a 7.66 sec cast time?

remote lintel
#

takes off like 1 sec

obsidian patio
#

My raise goes from 7.82 to 6.25 with POM

#

So about a second and a half

onyx kiln
#

so not super worth it but its something

#

also. Thin Air, any super specific places i use it or is it just when ever i either gonna use some heavy MP spending with holy spam or Rez?

remote lintel
#

when you're going to do heavy healing or your mp goes below 8k

#

or for holy spam

shell hazel
open ember
#

you have to be in HW, reached Ishgard

#

to even unlock machinst

remote lintel
#

no it doesn't matter

open ember
#

MCH has no preq class as it already comes at lv30

agile laurel
shell hazel
#

so play through the MSQ and it will be there at the end basically ?

remote lintel
#

at the beginning of HW

#

when you reach ishgard

#

the unlock quest is in ishgard

warped nest
#

The only real prep you can do is stock up aiming gear (ranged physical) for your machinist

#

Otherwise you are free to play whatever job(s) available to you for the time being

shell hazel
#

hmm okay sounds good

#

so i could take my lvl 30 lancer n just do it once its done the MSQ

remote lintel
#

hopefully you'll be dragoon by then

agile laurel
#

yup. you'd be level 50+ at that point

remote lintel
#

if you're doing your job quests

agile laurel
#

which you need to

warped nest
#

Oh, remember to advance your Lancer into a Dragoon

#

Like what Cerberus said

shell hazel
#

i am lvl 25 quest for MQS n Lancer Q

#

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

remote lintel
#

also so you dont get caught off guard

#

yes there are 80 post ARR quests

#

and yes you have to do them to reach HW

warped nest
#

Yeah, you will be stuck in level 50 msq for a short while

#

These are the epilogue of ARR and prologue of HW

vapid magnet
#

can you only get 1 puppet coin a week still?

shell hazel
#

so basically i should play somthing i like till i am completed the Story Line then switch over after ?

remote lintel
#

the coin is unlocked now iirc

#

switching classes is up to you

#

you can stay dragoon all the way to HW and then switch to machinist

vapid magnet
#

okie just because it said reward already received but i know it can be glitchy

warped nest

Maybe it meant the cluster?

remote lintel

visual mods lie a reshade to make the game look a lil better is that frowned upon or suggested among the community?

so was curious on that

warped nest

People don't care

#

Do take note that going too hard at it might slow down your game

left moth
#

Its a personal choice to use shader replacement mods

visual reef
#

right i gotcha

agile laurel

Was that big editing to gpose (the stuff with limit breaks, exploring instances etc) in this patch? or 5.45?

remote lintel

#

Ah. ok

To use explorer mode go in duty finder settings, last option

No job switching required.

So when lvling a new toon I guess you just do the MSQ n class quest line? I noticed the extra xp giving out right now just lvls you right past everything which sucks. Because now I’m lvl 30 working on lvl 18 MSQ

If this is an alt character do what you want but if this is your first character you really should do more than just the main story quests and class questline

But I am like lvl 30 now because of all other quest

You got road to 70 buff?

shell hazel

Are mogstation minions that you buy exclusive to the shop? Or can you find them in game

Specifically the Yuna wind up

desyncing of my clock is being cause by this game i think

maybe someone else has this experince?

Okay what are the rules for party drops? Like are the drop rates independent of each member? Or if one person gets a drop does everyone in the party get the same drop? Also, does each person need to fight the monster that drops the item to get it? If not, do they need to be within a certain distance of each other?

twilit arch

are you talking about boss loot or like drops from mobs themselves

#

i.e skins etc?

warped nest

For mob drops, it is random

Drops from mobs

twilit arch

mobs drops its randomly distributed between party members

And so long as you're in the same zone, you have a chance of getting loot

I see, I just want to make my own gear and for a friend

#

so I just need the bare minimum

little swift
#

Keep in mind bare minimum means you'll need more hq ingredients to complete a craft

#

So consider and weigh the consequences of committing to a more decent meld

Hi. Just upgraded my trial version to full. Any pointers on what I should look out for that is not present in trial version?

shell hazel
#

Does it matter what Company I pick ? Strom / Flame / Serpent ?

remote lintel
#

no

spare plinth
#

if you're a scholar, is adlo mainly use for shielding and not to heal up dmg?

Grand Company FAQ

Which Grand Company should I choose?

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:

Grand Company Gear

How do I get Grand Company Seals?

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.

@leaden ginkgo theres nothing in the tral version that the full version doesnt have

all of these things you can do

would recommend going and hiring your retainers

wintry chasm
twilit arch

as one of the first things you do after upgrading from trial to full game

wintry chasm

also ShB races

wintry chasm
#

get on that ASAP

remote lintel
#

and level them

leaden ginkgo
#

@remote lintel Thought there will be more restrictions than the list shows.

wintry chasm
#

The main restriction tbh is just that you can't continue the game past Heavensward

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

spare plinth
#

so for sch you focus more on preventing dmg so is your healing less potent after dmg because sch is supposed to prevent dmg received?

#

so adlo is aimed for shield instead of healing?

obsidian patio
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

Being stuck with the locked MSQ icon sucks.

#

Now I'm free HyurHappy

obsidian patio
#

You want most of your healing to be done with your oGCDs, with your shields as a second to last resort

#

Or when you need the shielding to survive mechanics

spare plinth
#

huh

leaden ginkgo
#

You will probably have to spam adlo in dungeons when the tank pulls big groups in a pinch.

remote lintel
#

dont spam adlo

leaden ginkgo
#

That is when you're low level

spare plinth
#

what about adlo/sucor and emertactic

leaden ginkgo
#

@remote lintel at low levels, you don't have much oGCDs and might not even have aetherflow

remote lintel
#

even then

leaden ginkgo
#

what will you do then when your tank pulled a whole army of mobs

raw solstice
#

spamming adlo isn't something you really have to resort to. If you're really behind then you go between adlo and physick, but even that is generally rather excessive

leaden ginkgo
#

lol physick is terrible

raw solstice
#

spamming adlo is even worse

remote lintel
#

if youre at super low level and have like nothing else physick is fine

leaden ginkgo
#

What's the alternative then when your tank is getting mobbed hard after a pull?

#

Say you're like level 40

remote lintel
#

whispering dawn, fey illumination

raw solstice
#

generally he uses any cd and you barely have to heal. Or if you both have decent gear you don't really have to spam adlo/physic either

leaden ginkgo
#

and that is on CD

raw solstice
#

but again, you don't ever just spam adlo

leaden ginkgo
#

I do that when CDs are out.

remote lintel
#

dont

little swift
#

your tank has enough cds to last through pulls

#

at low level, rampart/reprisal/arm's length/low blow are plenty

shell hazel
#

whats the last lvl 20 MQS i need to do before i can do the Dragoon quest ?

little swift
#

once you get the tank signature heavy/short cd it becomes even smoother

raw solstice
#

spamming adlo is the least efficient way of healing at all

leaden ginkgo
#

that is assuming the tank is proficient.

remote lintel
#

@shell hazel sylph management

zinc orbitBOT

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

shell hazel
#

TY

leaden ginkgo
#

Maybe I'm being rolled with bad tanks often but many times this is not enough to heal.

spare plinth
#

oh i imagine its gonna be hard to figure out which tool to use as a scholar

raw solstice
#

again, if you're really behind and you have to spam heals, adlo after adlo isn't the way to do it

#

adlo -> physick -> adlo -> physick

little swift
#

regardless of proficiency, there isn't really much reason to justify spamming adlo

#

overwriting the shield isn't worth it

leaden ginkgo
#

It isn't for healing. It's for keeping up with the damage the mob does

raw solstice
#

the tank is not taking that much damage to warrant that, guaranteed

#

you can straight up have a dps tank in those lower level dungeons

#

and keep them up

leaden ginkgo
#

That is not the case sadly in the dungeons I have run

raw solstice
#

you might feel like you need more

#

but you earnestly just don't

open ember
#

does anyone know where the
Goobbue Lamp can be obtained? im not seeing it in my recipe book

obsidian patio
#

Probably the treasure dungeon if I had to guess

raw solstice
#

adlo spam is a bunch of MP, does less healing if you're overwriting the shield (which you will be)

open ember
#

OHHH

leaden ginkgo
#

I can assure you if I didn't spam adlo tank would've been dead man times when fairy abilities are on CD

raw solstice
#

compared to rotating between adlo and physick

#

I guarantee that is not the case

leaden ginkgo
#

I would love an alternative cuz spamming is not fun.

open ember
#

maps hooo boi youre probably right. well ty

remote lintel
#

physick has a higher potency than adlo if you keep overwriting the shield

raw solstice
#

you could try what I mentioned

little swift
#

you were given one

obsidian patio
#

If your tank is taking enough damage that adlo spamming doesn’t waste any shields or healing they’re downright terrible

raw solstice
#

nah like

#

you don't even have to adlo spam on a dps

#

I know firsthand

leaden ginkgo
#

so tank doesn't die from mobs.

#

I think people here are misunderstanding, I'm not ovewritting shields

raw solstice
#

unless you're severely undergeared, you almost certainly are

#

even if it's only by a little, you're wasting MP and effective healing

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok. That is a possibility.

#

Lemme quickly check my gear level now

#

I can't see it now cuz I have a Bard equipped and I'm downloading updates.

#

What would be an acceptable range for gear at level 60 in your opinion?

remote lintel
#

270

leaden ginkgo
#

270?

raw solstice
#

shire gear, so i270 yeah^

remote lintel
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

really?

obsidian patio
#

i240-270

remote lintel
#

aug shire gear is 270

scarlet arrow
#

you can buy with poetics

leaden ginkgo
#

Last I checked, mine was i238 about a week ago.

remote lintel
#

shire gear is the endgame gear for HW

obsidian patio
#

Depending on your weapon that’s not too terrible

raw solstice
#

238 is a bit low. It's not terrible, but it's not great. Still shouldn't be in a position to spam adlo even then

shell hazel
#

finally have the Dragoon quest lol time to find my way there :0

raw solstice
#

but yeah, weapon in particular having higher ilvl will provide a big boost to your healing/damage

#

if that's on the lower end then that's especially why you'd be struggling

red junco
#

Question about savage, is overmelded gear to be expected once we start getting endgame gear?

raw solstice
#

nah overmelding isn't strictly needed/expected

leaden ginkgo
obsidian patio
#

Pentamelded stuff becomes less and less needed the longer into the tier we go

raw solstice
#

outside of super early prog and trying to clear week 1, pentamelding gear loses a good bit of value

little swift
#

you can clear fine without melds too

#

what kind of pieces are you using right now @leaden ginkgo

red junco
#

okay

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it materia? I don't have any equipped.

remote lintel
#

you should also be prioritizing gear with mind and piety

#

no

#

the materia doesnt really matter for leveling

leaden ginkgo
#

@little swift I can't see now as I am downloading full version of the game

marble dome
#

lodestone

#

pull up your lodestone

little swift
#

there's a possibility you're also using the wrong type of accessories and that could bum out your healing as well

remote lintel
#

they have a diff class equipped

leaden ginkgo
#

I have Bard weapon equipped when I last logged out. @marble dome

#

Can't see SCH

marble dome
#

dang

leaden ginkgo
#

Well. It's only for..err...about 2 more hrs.

marble dome
#

30gb of patches

leaden ginkgo
#

No. Just 17 GB.

remote lintel
#

you also shouldnt be picking gear/accessories with INT

marble dome
#

only mind

little swift
#

stuff until the end of HW can have "all classes" listed as equippable

#

so you may have been running stuff that wasn't giving you stats you needed

full surge
#

What do I meld as a tank? Is it still direct hit or did crit pass it?

remote lintel
#

crit has always passed dh?

#

and thats assuming you meet your sks tier first

obsidian patio
#

Direct hit only beats crit at the very start of an expansion

#

Due to lack of total secondary stats

full surge
#

Really? Back when the expansion dropped everyone I asked said DH. Guess ill swap out then

marble dome
#

DH started not being BIS in stormblood

yeah those things, and auto translate? but sometimes I see English players using them o: is it like a preset thing that gets translated?

remote lintel
#

yes

storm cosmos
#

where can I find them in the ui?

remote lintel
#

you start typing and press tab

raw solstice
#

some people use it as an auto-complete but it's especially useful if there's potentially people with different language clients

sullen lark
#

How do you open up the gpose menu after you close it?

#

do you just exit and re-do /gpose?

honest anvil

roughly how many weeks will it take to get a full set of aug new tome gears?

raw solstice
#

since as expected it'll translate into their client language for some communication

raw solstice
sullen lark
#

@raw solstice Thank you!

cosmic reef
#

Auto translate has a few uses...

  1. Memes

  2. People who can't type well or fast

  3. Breaking language barriers

#

It tries it's best and is good for referencing actions when you can find em

if i played on ps4 and i buy the steam version, i can still use the same account no problem right?
