is there a ex raid roulette?
manic flare
yea thats what i meant
twilit arch
mentor roulette encompasses more than just extremes, and current end-game extremes aren't part of the roulette

there is no roulette specifically for extreme trials

is that the one with three line AoEs from clones?

you gotta run around the edge of the platform
faint flare
Run around the edge
patent citrus
and find where they are hiding
honest anvil
wait running around the edge lets you see the clones?
faint flare
Yes
patent citrus
yeah
analog gate
they become visible if you get close
faint flare
Just like in The Burn. Or Nevereep

oooh that makes sense then

wait burn works like that?

Anyone know where i re get my skill that lets me make collectables on my weaver? I use to do it back months ago.
But i just can't seem to find it now since i came back i took sll my skills off the bar and put them in a new order and i can't find the collectable skill

You make specific items that always become collectables now
naive kraken
yeah

Just make the item
faint flare
You make that specific receipe

And itāll become a collectable

You just make the thing

pearl crystal
Is overleving actually possible? I've been reading on it, and it seems the MSQ and related will scale my character down to an appropriate level if I'm too high.
remote lintel
@pearl crystal only for instances and duties
pearl crystal
@remote lintel I've been doing just about every quest possible, including Fate quests. Should I slow it down, or is there no wrong way to play?
remote lintel
dont give good exp and are pretty much only for lore
naive kraken
fates are usually pure XP so unless you're like a few thousand away from a level, dont bother unless a quest says you need to complete a specific fate

if you want to do everything then consider picking up a second class

https://imgur.com/a/cfCKHp3 How did this person use both controller and number keypad hotbar like in this screenshot? Is it not possible anymore because I cannot play on controller and keyboard at the same time?
chilly briar
He uses the hotbar as a timer I would assume
Those spellsmight be on a differetn crossbar where he cant see them so he uses that hotbar to keep and eye on them
OR he has a mouse and is super quick and clicking between holding a controller
hybrid bramble
I tried to use the number keypad hotbar like this one when I'm healing and rez'ing people, but i feel that it's more difficult
obsidian patio
Youāre only using it as a reference to look at, not for using the spells on it
faint flare
You just turn on the normal hotbar via character config or the hud editor. Most just use it for cooldown tracking
hardy coral
it's possible by enabling cross hotbar and you select which ones you want as cross

on the storepage, says up to lvl 50
remote lintel
do you have a screenshot

Is the aesthete gear in theory better than the new IL 500 crafting gear you can by with white scrips? If you put the right materia and overmeld it can it overtake the gathering and crafting of the blues?
manic wind
wait so to get to lvl 80 you need to buy the complete edition ?
twilit arch
yes, aesthete can be overmelded and thus have more stats added to it @modern sorrel
manic wind
but every month you need to paid the complete edition price ?
zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
hand/landsaint is pretty decent gear itself, if you want to be cheap/lazy route.

wdym by update my internet explorer
remote lintel
exactly what it sounds like
manic wind
i need to paid one time to get to lvl 80 right ?
vast torrent
feeling a bruh moment rn
civic birch
thats so corny tho
manic wind
@remote lintel than when i paid that every month i paid the 14 dollar monthly ?
remote lintel
yes
civic birch
the 14$ is just for the ability to play the game
the other money is for the dlc
which allows you to go to lvl 80
remote lintel
if you already own the starter edition of the game then you just need to buy shadowbringers
civic birch
i only had ARR but buying shadowbringers gives you all the old ones

In order of difficulty itās normal, hard, extreme, savage, then unreal?
remote lintel
normal > hard > ex = unreal > savage > ultimate
vast torrent
is that from mog station?
remote lintel
i think so
gloomy ice
Unreal is the term used for older Extreme trials brought up to current level.
magic wren
So in order to get good you basically have to memorize the enemies movements?
remote lintel
yes

the attacks are always in the same order at the same point in time

Okay thanks for the recommendations Iāll try those out and see what happens lol
civic birch
is there a way for me to delete patch files without deleting the whole game?
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo side step from mog station
civic birch
i dont want to delete the whole game and wait for the download because for some reason the patch wont download
i've tried updating broswers and everything but they are up to date
remote lintel
@magic wren watch a guide before you start them
civic birch
i feel like the problems are with the files in the folder, not the browser
magic wren
Will do thanks.
remote lintel
ask in #technology-discussion
crimson wind
I see, whatās a good extreme to do first?
Emerald EX because that's the only one people are actually doing rn
remote lintel
idk how hard that one is
magic wren
So people donāt do old extremes? Lol
remote lintel
it might be harder to find learning parties for them
but they still do them for the mounts
magic wren
Ah makes sense. I was thinking like maybe getting glamor or alt gear
lyric holly
I ran Titania EX in party finder for a week or so to get the mount and enough people came
Not sure about lately since new patch dropped
magic wren
So Iām reading that you need 7 blades of antiquity for the ilv520 weapon set. So what that means is you have to wait 7 weeks before you get it?
remote lintel
yes
faint flare
If you dont do savage. Yes
magic wren
Holy
faint flare
You need 3 weeks if you clear e10s and get the tome drop
Cause you still need 1k revelation
magic wren
Doing savage gets you that ilv520 weapon set?
crimson wind
yes
faint flare
It gets you 530 gear, and it drops the tome for the 520 weapon straight up
magic wren
Ohhh
crimson wind
there is zero point in not doing savage unless you literally don't have time to do it
so just do it
remote lintel

it doesnt work even after deleting and reinstalling the game

stray lark
Asked this in healer lounge but I havent seen much activity in there so figured i'd try here too
What attrib. should i focus on as WHM? I keep seeing mixed opinions of crit-det-DH or det-piety-DH
civic birch
I only have windows 10
robust crow
@stray lark first of all, are you 80
rigid narwhal
@frozen girder https://i.imgur.com/2FTx31t.jpg
stray lark
Not yet! 65 so far
remote lintel
then substats dont matter much
robust crow
it's completely pointless to worry about stats unless you are 80
remote lintel
and at 80 theres different bis
you can go high piety or max dmg
or whatever it is now
rigid narwhal
@civic birch move to #technology-discussion with me
robust crow
just take highest ilevel that you get
civic birch
thanks
robust crow
whatever gear that drops that is a higher ilevel
take it and wear it
and when you're 70 and beat stormblood, buy the full poetics set
if you are just curious about stats at 80, though
piety is a variable stat, meaning the more comfortable you are, the less of it you need
generally at max level most people are fine with around 1000 piety
remote lintel
less than that
robust crow
the only thing piety does for you is give you faster/more mana regen
so once you are comfortable with a fight, you start dropping piety
and no healer gear gives direct hit because it's purely a DPS stat
so all your direct hit is going to come from melds
fierce cobalt
does Materia in gear affect venture quality rewards coming back?
remote lintel
no
robust crow
if you are playing healer optimally you're going to want crit > DH = DET
DH might beat det out actually
i need to look at new whm bis to be sure
remote lintel
it depends on what you want
if you want slightly more healing you go det
if you want slightly more dps you go dh
robust crow
most people tend to gauge good healers based on how much damage they can do while keeping everyone alive
so the sweaty top end healers are going to be going max damage, i.e. direct hit
if you aren't comfortable doing that, then go for piety
not long ago the "best" WHM set had absolutely 0 additional piety
which pretty much means your raid isn't allowed to make many mistakes
full dirge
Unfortunately this tier will force a lot of piety on us I feel
robust crow
that as well
the current high end raid tier has a lot of damage
so higher piety sets are going to be more favorable
(at least for now)
not that any of this info matters for you now since this is high end level 80 stuff
stray lark
Ahh i can't wait to keep leveling ;w; Thanks guys! Appreciate all the help š I'll keep it all in mind!
robust crow
tl;dr substat not important, go for ilevel
and read some resources when you're 80 and looking to do endgame content
remote lintel
go with the gear that has more of your main stat
stray lark
aye aye!
lost grove
What is Ast BiS rn?
remote lintel
they havent updated it
robust crow
probably safe to assume any gear that gives crit/det for healers is going to be a safe buy
if that's what you're wondering
ask the balance to be sure
lost grove
Ok.

Iām lvl 80 with like mostly HQ neo ishgardian gear that I got from the mb. Iām currently at ilvl 470 and canāt do ||Castrum Marinum|| because iām 15 ilvl below it. What can I do to get/farm gear with better stats or at least a higher ilvl?

from keiten
robust crow
but at least it tells you what to do
atomic echo
ok, ty guys 
remote lintel
also crystarium and puppet bunker gear
robust crow
you can opt to shell out loads of money for HQ 510 gear
and yeah puppet's bunker drops 490 and is unlimited now
wispy river
any suggestions for leveling DoH jobs at lvl 60?
atomic echo
i want crystarium gear but i still gotta farm those tomes which i canāt yet bc iām missing like a dungeon to unlock the lvl 80 DR, and if iām not wrong that takes a while to grind so iām looking for an alternative for now
robust crow
don't work too hard on crystarium gear
remote lintel
unlocking a dungeon isnt a grind
robust crow
they just put out a new tomestone set
remote lintel
also you can just do hunt trains
atomic echo
you can opt to shell out loads of money for HQ 510 gear
i was looking at the new gear with the new update but yeah itās too expensive, i got the money but man I really donāt wanna spend all that gil
robust crow
what ilevel is your lowest piece?
remote lintel
@wispy river leves, gc turn ins, ishgard restoration, beast tribes
robust crow
start upgrading the lowest piece at a time
you only need 485 to do the first wing of the new eden raids
which drops 510
if you don't care about raiding and just want the ilevel boost
win 4 bangles
get 4 pieces of 510 accessories
that's a fat ilevel cushion
that, plus 500 relic weapon, plus whatever 490 pieces you won from puppet's bunker
should be more than enough for any current content barring savage
atomic echo
what ilevel is your lowest piece?
all my gear is ilvl 480 with the exception of my weapon being 430 and right ring being 450
frozen girder
How useful is Addle
remote lintel
its fine
atomic echo
get 4 pieces of 510 accessories
ok this is good information ty for this actually
frozen girder
Is it worth the cooldown?
robust crow
get your dang weapon up lmao
atomic echo
yeah i need to LOL
remote lintel
its a free debuff?
little swift
Its free mitigation
full dirge
Addle is useful in difficult content as a 10% damage mitigation against magical attacks
frozen girder
But it takes time to cast
robust crow
either buy an exarchic weapon (expensive), buy a neo ishgard weapon (inefficient), or go get your i500 relic (time consuming)
little swift
It does not
full dirge
Addle is instant
frozen girder
I mean the cooldown timer
atomic echo
oh damn those are the only choices?
frozen girder
Not cast timer >_<
little swift
Its ogcd
remote lintel
so?
robust crow
i mean there are more choices than that
little swift
Its good
ionic hazel
On emerald weapon EX how do you know which red circle is the knockback

ionic hazel
and which 1 expands
frozen girder
I see
gloomy mortar
Is there a way to make a macro that initiates one macro after another?
remote lintel
no
frozen girder
I thought it made all spells cooldown
robust crow
other weapon sources require defeating somewhat difficult content
atomic echo
the exarchic weapon is expensive since its new but will it last me?
robust crow
it will last you quite some time actually
full dirge
Every time a big raidwide happens, you can just pop addle and it will mitigate a lot of damage
robust crow
unless you can clear emerald weapon EX
(which is the new trial and it's relatively difficult)
robust crow
eventually the relic weapon will beat the other options but not for a couple of patches
atomic echo
i think iāll buy the exarchic weapon tbh
robust crow
right now it's capped at i500
atomic echo
oh
full dirge
Emerald EX is pretty simple, there are just... 3 mechanics that are a headache until you learn how to do them
robust crow
if you just buy exarchic
wait a few days or even weeks
the price is still stabilizing
i bet it's at least 500k on your server right now
it's going to stabilize in the 150k range within a few weeks

last time i checked i think it was

you can get the aug crystarium weapon

So Red Mage is like... 2 spells for the cast time of 1?

that costs 1000 allegory though
full dirge
No
atomic echo
i only have 500
full dirge
The second spell of RDM still uses a GCD, it is only cast instantly
remote lintel
its not hard to get
atomic echo
the main way to farm it is thru the lvl 80 DR right?
remote lintel
no
robust crow
there's not really a "main" way to farm allegory
full dirge
It's 2 spells for the time of 2 spells
robust crow
but hunt trains is probably the fastest
atomic echo
oh sorry i missed that
warped nest
The advantage of insta spell is, you don't get punished for using Ability (aka oGCD) after casting an instant spell
full dirge
The point of RDM's dualcast is to cheat out your long, 5s cast time spells
And raises!
atomic echo
Ok ty guys for all this useful info 
full dirge
If you start casting a first spell as RDM and chain it immediately with an instant spell, the moment you start casting your third spell will be exactly 2 GCDs after you started casting the first spell, there is no bypassing that

remote lintel
2 targets
full dirge
Impact is 2 IIRC
robust crow
you do something different for 2 targets if you are max level
i can't remember if the potency on scatter is high enough
full dirge
Scatter is very bad, like 120
modest igloo
ngl that chart means nothing to a new player imo
robust crow
but you do jolt into impact
twilit arch
wesk's videos are very good so most likely you misunderstood what he meant
robust crow
well, jolt 1 is lower actually
frozen girder
Wait
robust crow
at max level you do jolt into impact for 2 targets iirc
or verstonefire into impact if you have a proc
frozen girder
I see
full dirge
Scatter is the same potency as verthunder 2 and veraero 2, there is not much point in casting it
It's a bit weird that they did that to balance
robust crow
yeah it sucks until it upgrades at level 66
full dirge
If it gave 4 white/black manas, then it would give 8 total which would be better than verthunder 2 and veraero 2 giving 7 of black/white
But right now it's the opposite, a scatter gives 6 total manas while verthunder 2 and veraero 2 gives more
In practice does 1 more mana every 2 GCDs make much of a difference below lvl 66? Not really, it changes nothing
thorny python
Hello everyone Happy Holidays!
full dirge
The only purpose of scatter is that it's the first of the 3 skills you get, so in... Pretty much only sastasha, you are forced to use it. That is all.
Impact is great however

I needed some help with progressing the MSQ. I am stuck on the "Use the Duty Finder to confront Ifrit in the Bowl of Embers." part of the Lord of Inferno Quest.

And in the box at the bottom when you queue it says only bowl of embers
robust crow
are you looking for the level 50 hard trial?
thorny python
lemme check here one sec
twilit arch
if they're on the quest "Lord of the Inferno" then they need normal mode
robust crow
that's what i'm thinking too but it's a possible mistake
full dirge
There you go
thorny python
so i was doing the lvl 20 dungeon instead of the 20 trial i think. \o/
frozen girder
I grouped them by AoE, Single target, instant cast, and Melee
remote lintel
you should be using all of your skills
full dirge
Every ability is useful. Scatter isn't, but its upgrade is so you want a button for it
thorny python
Hopefully this will work now thanks a lot!
robust crow
looks fine to me as long as you are comfortable with the setup
frozen girder
WDYM Scatter isn't?
frozen girder
At 3 enemies it does more damage than verstone
robust crow
his point is that you should just use verthunder 2 veraero 2 instead of scatter
at all times
until scatter upgrades to impact at level 66
at which point impact becomes used instead of a second verthunder 2
full dirge
Yup yup

Iām going to add to the Rdm questions: I just tried the lvl60 job quest 5-6 time without being able to win. Upgraded all gear to around 250 and Iāve got 16k hp.
Is there a mechanic that might not be obvious to a new player?
zinc orbitBOT
robust crow
it's been a long time since i did that quest but
aren't you supposed to heal the NPC too
or yourself
you have vercure at that point
verbal pagoda
Both
full dirge
Yea I don't remember the quest either
verbal pagoda
If she dies, itās over. If I die. Itās over. Very long fight too.
robust crow
ok so question 1
verbal pagoda
Some hits are getting upwards of 10k dmg to me
robust crow
have you not finished heavensward
and gotten the poetics gear?
no need to "upgrade" to 250 if you get a 270 set from poetics
also you are supposed to heal yourself past a certain point iirc
robust crow
that boss does a dot that only ticks if you haven't healed yourself to max
(i think it's that boss right?)
it's been fucking forever
full dirge
Class quests shouldn't require more gear than what you need to finish the MSQ at that level, so a change of tactics is in order for you
verbal pagoda
Maybe thatās it. Iāve cleared everything else with a fair bit of ease before this in lvl130 gear and got whooped so I spent my silver feathers on gear
full dirge
Ah
remote lintel
130 is ARR gear
robust crow
read the npc dialogue during the fight
full dirge
And abysmal for lvl 60
robust crow
they tell you how to beat it
the dude straight up says something like "please heal yourself to full or you'll take more damage from these wounds!"
or something
verbal pagoda
Yeah. I had 7k hp befor I upgraded lol
Now 16k but still tough
And no I havenāt beat heavensward. I havenāt cleared realm reborn yet either
remote lintel
what
full dirge
o.o
remote lintel
you cant access the lvl 50 - 60 job quests if you arent in HW
verbal pagoda

is it even possible to do that rdm quest without beating arr...?
full dirge

frozen girder
Do all Casters gear up the same way
full dirge
Yep
verbal pagoda
Rdm unlocked at lvl50
robust crow
RDM/SMN do not share gear with BLM
if that was your question
every single class in the game gears up the same way from 1-79 though
frozen girder
oh ._.
remote lintel
what
robust crow
poetics gear at 50 60 70 and whatever highest ilevel drops from whatever you've been doing
up until then
twilit arch
rdm/smn do share gear with blm
frozen girder
Does that mean I'm going to need to grind gear for every class I want to play at level 80?
remote lintel
they all wear casting gear
robust crow
i mean for BiS
twilit arch
there IS a universal caster BiS set
robust crow
their substats are different
twilit arch
so even that's incorrect
robust crow
sorry I should have clarified
frozen girder
What is BiS?
robust crow
RDM/SMN BiS is the same, BLM has numerous separate pieces
bis stands for best in slot
remote lintel
roles share gear except melee classes
robust crow
it's not relevant to you right now
full dirge
Best in slot only matters for endgame raiding
robust crow
RDM SMN BLM wears the same kind of gear
full dirge
Ignoring that, yes casters gear the same
robust crow
that is the answer to your question
frozen girder
I'm asking so that I can choose what to play :p
remote lintel
roles share gear except melee classes
^
robust crow
in terms of endgame raiding
frozen girder
So if I'm a healer, I can choose any healing class?
robust crow
well it doesn't matter to you
remote lintel
yes
robust crow
yes they all wear the same gear
remote lintel
healers all wear "of healing" gear
full dirge
Any healing class can equip the same healing gear. Except weapon of course
frozen girder
So what I'm hearing is that I should choose any class except melee for the least grinding ._.
robust crow
??
all classes get gear the same way
it's the same amount of grind regardless
if you already have a caster class that you got gear for
then yes you don't have to get another set of gear if you grabbed another caster
but if you already have caster gear and you want to play a melee dps
remote lintel
no
robust crow
you need to get another set of gear entirely
remote lintel
melees just have their own categories
twilit arch
there's more than enough armoury chest slots to have all jobs and classes geared

What if I'm a samurai and want to play monk

sam and mnk share gear

Oooh
twilit arch
dragoon and ninja are the only two with their own unique sets of left side gear
frozen girder
Okay
twilit arch
ninja shares accessories with physical ranged jobs, and dragoon shares accessories with monk and samurai
remote lintel
dragoon has a unique right side too tho

It'll become more widely available with 5.5. For now, however, it's only in Savage.
warped nest
In 5.5, you can get upgrade materials (crypt Ester, twine, or whatever they are called) via trading the Nier alliance raid coin, or buying them with the currency you get from killing A/S rank open map bosses (this is called a Hunt train)
For the time being, like what Eton said, these items are only available from Savage Eden raids
twilit arch
ester won't be immediately available though
warped nest
Ahh, yes.
The one for augmenting armor and accessories will be available as soon as 5.5 hits
kind eagle
isnt it 5.5 now
warped nest
5.4
kind eagle
oh
warped nest
Covid caused massive delays
I believe that we have:
- 5.45 (Relic stuff etc)
- 5.5 (more MSQ, last EX trials and Nier Raid)
- 5.51 (Ultimate?)
- 5.55 (more MSQ, and final relic steps? )
wintry chasm
Add in allied beast tribe quests into 5.55 and I think you got it?
twilit arch
5.41 for final stage of restoration
buoyant sorrel
Is it better to do Shared FATES on your own?
warped nest
Revelation tomestone cap being changed to 900 is 5.55 I assume
rigid narwhal
š„° shared fates are meant to be shared š„°
twilit arch
if you can find people to do fates with, no reason to not group up
rigid narwhal
legit just put up a party finder like 
Shared Fate 
in the zone you're doing it in
buoyant sorrel
I know it'd be faster but I don't remember if the rank system is in place or not, for how much you contribute to the FATE I mean
I might be mixed up with something else?
twilit arch
if you're in a party, the party contributes as a whole to rewards
like there's absolutely no reason to not group up with others if you're doing fates
but at the same time, unless there's a shitton of people you don't need to group up either
open ember
Just take your chocobo, slap some healer skills and you'll be okay
buoyant sorrel
Ah I see I couldn't remember the specifics of FATES if doing them solo or party ty ^^

should be

If you mean the level 50 fight
Just stay close with party member, and if you get a terror and they are getting zapped
Their zap will cleanse your terror

Is the new lyhe ghiah map doable with 4 people
Technically doable, but very hard.
warped nest
If both of you are getting zap, just spread apart

don't you have to soak three orbs to break the tether?

question, will they ever release the Byakko and Susanoo weapons?
Well, they do seem to be playing fast catchup. After a while of nothing, last two major patches we got Shinyru, Suzaku, Seiryu, and Zurvan. It might be very likely we'll get Byakko and Susanoo next patch which would catch everything up nicely!

you need to combo them, so enchanted riposte -> enchanted zwerchau -> enchanted redoublement, in that order
enchanted zwerchau will deal more damage when done right after enchanted riposte, and the same applies to redoublement after zwerchau
leaden ginkgo
thanks, but the part i was a bit confused on was the unaspected damage
tho i did notice the combo potency of enchated melee abilities goes up, the base(?) one doesnt change when enchanted
so i guess it does physical damage before its enchanted is my takeaway?
analog gate
so i guess it does physical damage before its enchanted is my takeaway?
yes, and never use them

oh oof really
I was thinking more of doing some quests together still, but all I really can do is just run along with them then?
green grail
you can get a non-trial player to form a party for you
but questing in general is a solo experience, all quests are personal and you'll end up at a solo duty eventually so you'll have to disband the party

yes

is the drop random?
obsidian patio
Yeah the weapon dropped is completely random
You could see the same weapon 3 times in a row, or not see a specific weapon in like 30 runs

each clear is guaranteed 1 totem for everyone tho so you need at most 10 runs for a weapon

I'm currently lvl 74 with Scaevan gear (item lvl 400). Is it wise to stick with this armor till lvl 80 or are there better alternatives?

I recommend slowly replacing it with level 75+ gear as you get it from dungeons
viral hemlock
yeah leveling you basically just want the highest ilvl you can get

How many Emerald Totems and where do you exchange them?

10 per weapon (7/3 split for PLD sword/shield), and in Mor Dhona by the poetics vendor

That's correct, exp wise
50/60/70 isn't that good exp wise
It's okay, but if you have to choose, please choose alliance/leveling/msq for exp
gusty comet
Ok I need to figure this out because im getting sick of it, im farming crystals in hinterlands for my relic weapon since I never did Zodiac and im doing the full fate until the end to try to get them because I have been led to understand that the fate has to be completed successfully for a crystal to drop but its taking forever solo. Now im being told on various forums that all I need to do is tap gold contribution and fly away to another fate to get a chance at a crystal even if the fate fails. Which one is true?
jade quartz
Completion is required as far as I know...
gusty comet
Thats what I was led to believe at first
halcyon tulip
Are you talking about the lvl 80 relic weapon? the fates need to be completed for the drop. Flying away might work if there are others doing the fate to finish it
gusty comet
But doing these solo isnt getting me a single crystal and it takes forever
jade quartz
RNG is RNG
jade quartz
Oh do you mean 80 relic? Or HW Anima (Luminous Crystals)
gusty comet
cant remember which one, I think im doing anima
yeah im farming the ilvl 210 anima weapon
im a Dark Knight so im trying to max my gear levels so I can tank each new dungeon as they come up
halcyon tulip
You can just buy the shire weapon if you need it for gear level only
gusty comet
Nothing worse than a tank doing a dungeon for the first time and being undergeared for it
jade quartz
Whoa yeah no
whole wasp
You can buy the max ilvl stat for poetics at lvl 60.
gusty comet
crap
jade quartz
if you're doing this to get a good weapon
whole wasp
Anima weapons are way lower than shire.
jade quartz
stop now
go buy a Shire weapon from Idyllshire, or from Rowena's Representative in Foundation.
gusty comet
Wont I need it for the lvl 80 end game weapon?
jade quartz
No
whole wasp
Nope
jade quartz
No relationship at all
gusty comet
well crap

Relics are never connected between levels
warped nest
Anima DRK weapon looks cool though, you can come back later and finish it if you want too
gusty comet
The ilvl on an awakened anima weapon looked hundreds of points higher than what I saw
whole wasp
Lvl 60 relic only for lvl 60. Lvl 70 for lvl 70 etc.
warped nest
Shire item level is 270
wintry chasm
Relics are never connected between levels
Except Zodiac at 50 giving you a a headstart in the HW one at 60
gusty comet
Yeah the base anima is 210
jade quartz
That's not high.
gusty comet
Cronus Lux is 275
jade quartz
YEah after weeks of grinding
halcyon tulip
the +5 ilvl matters very little
jade quartz
when you could have bought 270 shire immediately.
wintry chasm
That +5ilvl is going to make your weapon last a grand total of +0 levels compared to the shire weapon
gusty comet
crao
jade quartz
The weapon will be invalidated by higher-level stuff anyway
wintry chasm
It's worthless except glamour
jade quartz
So yeah
gusty comet
what a waste of time
warped nest
It is not worth the time
gusty comet
so I get shire weapon from the same stall that I got the poetic armor from?
jade quartz
Shire is poetics.

If you meant Mor Dhona, no

Shire equipment you get from Idyllshire

The representatives in the starting cities don't have Shire

the only thing that i don't like about blm is greeding fire iv and accidentally dropping enochian š

most is Adamantite

That is inferior to shire gear bought with poetics.
We don't mean Ironworks
that's ten levels out of date

I heard some stories in e9s, with the squares and moving.

Seeing that you were doing DRK Anima weapons
jade quartz
it's a massive jump from where you are.
warped nest
It meant that you have reach HW endgame
gusty comet
Yeah im using the crafted garbage for my level
wintry chasm
Also you should have been doing your dark knight job quests and got some job gear that is way better than what you're wearing right now
jade quartz
Yeah that too
wintry chasm
Why are you not using it?
warped nest
So you should go and get HW endgame gear, which is the lvl 60 i270 Shire
jade quartz
You should have a Chaos armour coffer

all jobs are completely viable, balance is very strong. The big differences we gripe about are like 2% differences between job dps capabilities at endgame.

you are squeezing i think heat blasts, auto crossbow and one other skill during overheat.
jade quartz
MCH can have troubles with a little jank and slightly worse dps output if they have high ping due to the mechanics of Overheat
