Cheerjump

[maiden juniper]

thx)

[faint flare]

There 3 different cheer/glowstick emote

[atomic needle]

Thanks, i didn't realize it was a side quest. I thought it came with the main quest

[rigid dust]

starting to really like pvp in this game!! if i'm just looking for a quick queue, is the frontline roulette my best bet~? or should i try something else

[wheat plume]

I want to be Astrologian, this will be my first healer. Where do you recommend me to go to get used to control a healer? Maybe the first dungeon so there is not much harm if I mess everything? I'm playing in PS4 with controller, so I'll also need to learn how to target other players.

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi everybody, if I buy a the game from steam, do I need to stuck my card to my account ? or can I just add 10 E manually every mounth?

[rigid dust]

@wheat plume tbh i was nervous to start healing at first. what helped me get used to it was running low level dungeons, and working my way up! that way i was learning my abilities at a good pace instead of trying to figure it out all at once c:

if you've been working on your grand company rank and got your Barracks open, you can even start healing your Command missions for practice so you'll only be letting NPCs die cx

[marble dome]

play at least a little bit of white mage first

[leaden ginkgo]

Hello everyone, I just bought the game on steam, and i thought i go 30 days free to the game. Why is it saying i can't log in because my sub has expired

[gusty storm]

going right into astro wouldn’t be bad

[modest igloo]

I've been trying to find a guide to leveling BTN, could someone point me in the right direction?

[raven star]

Anyone else unable to log in atm?

[wheat plume]

Thanks, I just did the first dungeon, just 1/3 of my actions were heal, all the rest dps, but its an easy dungeon, I'll do lvl 28 dungeon now (so I have the next action) and see how things change. Or do you recommend another lower lvl dungeon?
I have barracks open, but never did the recruit thing

[raven star]

Managed to log back in.... that was weird

[hasty musk]

How recently did you buy the game

Like, did you literally just buy it

[worthy basin]

pentameld relic vs overmelded crafted yes, there is a difference.

[worthy basin]

did u already checked the balance?

[modest igloo]

i tried, but i couldn't find it there, it was all about rotations

[worthy basin]

burn through your leves

[leaden ginkgo]

Where do I get red gatherers scrip token

[worthy basin]

once you hit 50, do collectables, that is yellow scrip farming + exp

[iron rock]

Hello, does anybody know if I have a wedding with a friend(plat eb), do we get the stuff the guests do as well? the minions,etc

[rigid dust]

honestly diadem is crazy good for leveling gatherers if you have it unlocked~

[modest igloo]

should I be doing anything with ishgard restoration?

[leaden ginkgo]

It is extremely slow and very low amounts of XP

[worthy basin]

diadem is only good for crafters imo

[modest igloo]

why is that?

[worthy basin]

it's like levequests but no cap xD

and huge amounts of exp

[leaden ginkgo]

Can anyone tell me how I get red gatherers scrip tokens pls

[magic wren]

Can I trade in poetics for allegory tombstones?

[open coral]

no

[magic wren]

Dang so allegory is for alts basically?

Poetics*

[open coral]

Yeah, pretty much.

[magic wren]

What happens if I don’t use my poetics? Do I lose them if they’re capped?

[open coral]

You lose any additional that you earn over the cap, just like any other currency

[gusty furnace]

Did they remove ephemeral nodes in lategame?

[magic wren]

Okay

[worthy basin]

no

they just changed the locations in 5.4

[open coral]

But it's not like it's hard to farm poetics, so it's not a big deal, really

[gusty furnace]

ty :3

have a cookie 🍪

[solar delta]

has anyone gotten this error and know how to fix it? unsure if this is right spot to post this ,-,

[leaden ginkgo]

@hasty musk yes about 10 mins ago now

[limber walrus]

damn guys

levinstrike aethersand is 350 scrips for ONE

[hasty musk]

have you ever owned the game in any capacity before

[leaden ginkgo]

@hasty musk yes a long time ago in 2015

[hasty musk]

then you're probably signed into that account

if you bought a new copy of the game on the same platform, you need a different account iirc

[leaden ginkgo]

@hasty musk i mean i am, i put the game on that old account. .... welll to late for that now

i guess i have to resub

[worthy basin]

buy or gather

[little swift]

Aetherial reductions of the ephemeral nodes for sands has always been the play

The changes make it more worth to gather them yourself

[gleaming sparrow]

Professionals > Dwarven > Facet > Handsaints > Aesthetes

Is this a correct progression of gear tiers for DoH?

[little swift]

No

Dwarven would be used together with professionals

And at this point you could probably bypass kt

[cold steppe]

do DOH/DOL also get that lvling bonus when they're behing the class with higher lvl than they are like combat classes?

[little swift]

Handsaints is the new scrip gear and the accessories are better than Dwarven by a bit too from what I've observed

[remote lintel]

no

[little swift]

Armoury bonus only for combat

[gleaming sparrow]

I'm at Dwarven now and unsure if I should go for handsaints or facet (w melds)

[little swift]

Go straight to aesthete if you can afford it

If you plan on crafting a lot

Otherwise facet/handsaint will probably do for light crafting needs

[gleaming sparrow]

Trying to craft everything myself for now and can get the white scrips for handsaints fairly easily but not sure if full handsaints would allow me to craft aesthetes for the final step

Its a bit confusing tbh

[limber walrus]

@worthy basin gather?

I didn't realize u could gather it

[worthy basin]

gather then reduce it

[limber walrus]

??

[worthy basin]

aetherial reduction??

[limber walrus]

like desynthesizing?

[worthy basin]

what's the base stats of handsaints?

no, desyntehsizing is different from aetherial reduction

[limber walrus]

then I Have no idea...

[gleaming sparrow]

@worthy basin

significantly higher than facet at least

[worthy basin]

i mean the wholes set hahah, i'm going to try it for my current rotation for crafting aesthete

[gleaming sparrow]

Oh hahah

let me see

[little swift]

The issue with scrip has always been and will be the cp limitation

[gleaming sparrow]

Craftsmanship: +946
Control: +1453
CP: +257

for full handsaints

[little swift]

What does that total out to including your stats

[verbal rune]

When do I lose the sprout icon?

[worthy basin]

you could get a dwarven accessories and meld that with extra cp :))

[worthy basin]

once you finish sb iirc

[little swift]

Finish last qyest of storm blood post and 168 hours of playtime @verbal rune

[verbal rune]

Ah, kay

[oblique trellis]

Can I use a potion as a Micon? Like ... Cordial? I've tried /micon Cordial, and /micon "Cordial" item, but neither worked

[little swift]

You need the item in your inventory to make it happen five

At least thats what I've noticed

[oblique trellis]

I do have Cordials

[gleaming sparrow]

What do you mean? If I wear full Handsaints I'd have those stats

[little swift]

If the item is removed it doesn't work

You only have 257cp?

[worthy basin]

@gleaming sparrow i'm assuming you have the facet right now?

[gleaming sparrow]

Oh right, let me unequip everything

[gleaming sparrow]

Mix of dwarven, facet and handking

handsaint*

and aesthete primary

[worthy basin]

you could probably do it though but with hq all mats except slithersand and chili crab hq and cunning craftsman hq

but we need to double check, gimme your stats.

[leaden ginkgo]

is it hard to get an apartment? just checked and its full
guessing its going to be full for a while

where do i buy the weapons i forgot D:

[worthy basin]

eulmore?

[leaden ginkgo]

does mount speed affect flying speed? or is it useless after you have flying

[faint flare]

Check the other wards

[worthy basin]

no

[open coral]

Just try a different housing ward @leaden ginkgo

[little swift]

Check another ward

[faint flare]

Only groubd speed

[gleaming sparrow]

Craftsmanship: 2412
Control: 2306
CP: 466

(unbuffed)

[little swift]

Mor dhona

[leaden ginkgo]

ohh i see, so since i have flying should i bother with it?

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

kk ty

ok

[worthy basin]

you can't even craft the aesthete

[little swift]

Yah that doesn't seem like it meets minimum stats to even attempt aesthete

[worthy basin]

you don't meet the min stats for it

2480/2195, your cms is lacking a bit.

[gleaming sparrow]

I guess I'll just go for Handsaints gear then so I can craft aesthetes hmmm

[little swift]

Could always food with hq meijones

[leaden ginkgo]

this guy doesnt have the option for the new trial weapons

[little swift]

And meet the min that way

[faint flare]

Mor dhona

Not eulmore

[worthy basin]

yes you can, i checked ariyala and the base stats of that gear is 2606/2454/472

[faint flare]

Just like ruby

[leaden ginkgo]

o ok ty

[worthy basin]

@gleaming sparrow waaaaait

[gleaming sparrow]

Oops

[worthy basin]

you could craft it with your current set

but with meji hq and cunning hq

[gleaming sparrow]

HQ even?

[little swift]

Thsts literally what I said lul

[worthy basin]

but hq mats

[worthy basin]

yeaaah.... i just checked lol.

[gleaming sparrow]

Oh wow

Thank you, I'll definitely do that then lol

What site is that?

[little swift]

Teamcraft

[worthy basin]

ffxivteamcraft.com

[verbal rune]

How much time it takes to lvl from 50 to 60 in potd?

[gleaming sparrow]

Wow this looks nuts

Does it just give you a rotation based on recipe and current stats?

[little swift]

No you make your own recipe

Plugging in stats and stuff

[worthy basin]

@gleaming sparrow less hq mats

but longer

i think

[little swift]

The ai simulator doesn't work as well as people doing it

So they removed it

[gleaming sparrow]

Ah alright

[gleaming sparrow]

This looks perfect, I'll see which mats I can get and try either one

its the same for each aesthete item?

[little swift]

Yes

If your stats are the same

Rotation doesn't need to change

[worthy basin]

but another advice, try it with trial synthesis first.

[gleaming sparrow]

Definitely will do

not sure if its working as intended, but trial synthesis doesnt count HQ items for me ever?

[ocean herald]

any difference from NQ Calfskin set vs HQ Calfskin set?

[faint flare]

HQ is more stats

[gleaming sparrow]

like if I only have HQ items, trial synth still starts at 1% quality

[ocean herald]

no change in appearance? just wanna use it for glamour

[worthy basin]

if nq is cheaper just get that

[remote lintel]

no

[faint flare]

No appearance change

[gleaming sparrow]

when in practice it jumps up to 5% for example

[little swift]

Hq is just for the flex if anything in terms of glamour

[remote lintel]

quality doesn't change appearance

[ocean herald]

btw what is the map used for farming calf leather?

[worthy basin]

the new maps dungeon

[faint flare]

Zonureskin

[remote lintel]

did they just replace the old dungeon

[little swift]

Its just to run the rotation in game to simulate the actual condition procs. If it clears on your stats you're good

[little swift]

No its like gazelleskin and the 2 uznair maps

[remote lintel]

oh ok

[faint flare]

No, just a 50/50 chance between either

[little swift]

You get one of them

[leaden ginkgo]

all apartments are taken

just make more game wtf

[remote lintel]

that's unlikely

[worthy basin]

that's normal

[faint flare]

In ALL wards and subwards?

[remote lintel]

check other wards

[leaden ginkgo]

subward?

[faint flare]

Yes subwards

Each ward has a subward

Which you get there via the aethernet inside

[leaden ginkgo]

i checked the apartment building
was told there were no vacancies

[little swift]

There are 24 wards in each housing district

Each ward has 2 apartment complexes

with a bunch of apartments

Are you sure you've checked allof them

[leaden ginkgo]

wtf

no then def not

[little swift]

So in each ward there's a main division and a subdivision

Make sure you check both

You can't just check 1 full one and assume they're all full

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks

they're probably still going to be full but ill check

[verbal rune]

Si about that... how many runs you need from lvl 50 to lvl 60 for dps in potd?

[remote lintel]

that's unlikely they're all full

[icy sierra]

Hello. I've been playing free trial on steam. I also own a PS4. I read online that your account is tied to the server, and you can freely switch between different platforms? I want to go chill in the living room and play FF14

[faint flare]

Yes, you just buy on both ps4 and steam

And link the accounts

[icy sierra]

I have to buy it? Free trial wont work?

[faint flare]

Not trial

[open coral]

You need different licenses for different versions of the game, but as long as you have the appropriate license for the platform you want to use, you can play on whichever.

[icy sierra]

ah

Okay

[open coral]

Which is why you can't do it as a trial

[remote lintel]

you need to buy the game on each platform you want to play on

[icy sierra]

I would probably do that eventually. For now I need a PC license more than anything

thanks yall

[deft oar]

I was wondering in each ward there are 60 houses. So which numbers can free company buy? Because i know numbers like 24 and 29 aren't purchasable for fc

[little swift]

You can buy whatever is available

Plot number isn't relevant here

[deft oar]

I thought some houses are only purchasable for private residence? I swear that was a thing last time i was on months ago

[open coral]

Nope

[leaden ginkgo]

there's only one apartment building in Kobai Goten

[open coral]

There are two. One in the main ward and one in the sub ward.

[storm galleon]

Guys can I know if exarchic gear is decent enough for raids and extreme trials?

[leaden ginkgo]

where the sub ward?

[open coral]

Use the aethernet

[little swift]

Teleport to the subdivision of the same name @leaden ginkgo

[leaden ginkgo]

ah
yep, full too

[deft oar]

Ain't foundation getting housing? Saw some people in limsa talking about it? About them opening housing soon for there

[remote lintel]

not soon

eventually probably

[open coral]

Well, there's 24 wards, each with a sub ward for every housing area, so check the others too.

[verbal rune]

Can you solo potd floor 51-60?

[deft oar]

Oof

[storm galleon]

Sorry, are you referring to my statement?

[leaden ginkgo]

why is housing limited
houses i get, i guess
but apartments?

[little swift]

check another ward

[remote lintel]

because the game servers have limited space

[open coral]

There are more than enough apartments. You just have to find a ward or sub ward with free space. There can be like, 200 apartments in each ward and sub ward.

[little swift]

If ward 1 doesn't have one check 2 and the subdiv

If that entire housing area doesnt

[remote lintel]

@storm galleon yes it should be, and you can check the duty's min ilvl

[little swift]

Check mist or lavender beds

Or goblet

4 housing areas 24 wards 400? Apartments per ward

I find it hard to believe you've check every single one already and are coming back to report

[leaden ginkgo]

i would like to buy one in Kobai Goten but both are full so i guess i'll go check the lavender beds

[remote lintel]

check

[open coral]

Even for only checking all wards and subwards in Shirogane, you haven't spent enough time

[remote lintel]

another

ward

there's 24 wards in kobai

go check all of them

[open coral]

There are 24 wards each with a main and sub ward

48 total Kobai Gotens

With 200 apartment slots each.

[leaden ginkgo]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH
holy shit
i get it now

sorry

i thought wards were plots
sorry

[remote lintel]

[little swift]

No we would have said plots

[leaden ginkgo]

[onyx kiln]

anyway to hide away the tooltips box for the skills when hovering above their buttons? trying to rearrage them but it bothers me to no end that this box covers over half my hotbars

[remote lintel]

you can fix the location to another part of your screen

[open coral]

I think it's like "turn off tooltips" or something in the character settings.

[leaden ginkgo]

again sorry about that
almost 700 hours in the game you would think i would know these things

[little swift]

Action help is the specific thing you're looking for in character configuration @onyx kiln

[nova sphinx]

For WHM, is the recommended materia melding at 80 (PB gear and up) still Crit / Det? Or is Piety worthwhile?

[remote lintel]

its preference

[little swift]

Piety is a comfort stat. Meld as much as you need

Most best in slots forgo that comfort in favour of more damage

It assumes 0 mistakes/room for error

[versed geyser]

How can a world be considered "preferred" and "congested" at the same time?

[faint flare]

They aren't

[wispy river]

For DoH, can Great Stride apply to Byregot's Blessing?

[faint flare]

There's rhe TEMPORARY character lock

Which is seperate from CONGESTED

Congested servers are permanently locked until further notice

Temporary character lock changes based on people online

[versed geyser]

Ahhhhhhh I see

[faint flare]

Yes and you should always great strides byregots

[wispy river]

Ok, thanks! I didn't see Blessing classified as a touch so I wanted to verify.

[faint flare]

Anything that increases quality is a touch

[rigid dust]

are the pvp queue times usually always "more than 30 minutes" or am i queueing the wrong stuff >.>

[faint flare]

Yes because pvp isn't popular

[versed geyser]

So basically you'll be able to make a character once more people log off? (Sorry to be a bother, I'm asking for a friend)

[faint flare]

Yes

Night time is the best timr

When people go sleep

[rigid dust]

ahh gotcha, thats surprising!! thanks vinyl c:

[nova sphinx]

How does Piety even work now with everyone at flat 10k MP though?

[versed geyser]

Thanks Vinyl for the help!

[gloomy ice]

Increased MP regained per tick

[faint flare]

More piety means more mp regen

[dark dagger]

if i change class i need to rebuy all my equip?

[faint flare]

No

Your equipment for the other job is placed in the armoury chest

[cursive terrace]

are the shadowbringers hildibrand quests out?

[faint flare]

No

[cursive terrace]

wait is there even gonna be some

[faint flare]

Cause there isnt any

[cursive terrace]

noooooooooooo

i guess it makes sense

but its sad

[hollow wraith]

How does gear scaling in synced content work?

[remote lintel]

if its not a specified ilvl then it syncs ot the highest ilvl of the expac

[faint flare]

You're synced to the highest ilvl of that time period unless a specific ilvl is stated on the duty

[remote lintel]

except in bozja

[faint flare]

Always down, never up except in Bojza

And pvp i guess

[hollow wraith]

So if someone goes to say sastasha in ironworks gear it doesn't get scaled down?

[faint flare]

Sync also turns off materia

They get scaled down

To the highest ilvl around satasha's level

[hollow wraith]

Ah ok

So once you have gear above sastasha's level it won't make a difference there?

[faint flare]

Correct

You're as strong as someone who's has the highest ilvl gear of that period

Ie if you're being synced to i130, people in i130 are as strong as synced people who were in higher gear

[hollow wraith]

Ok thanks

[faint flare]

(potentially the non synced people are stronger due to ability to use materia)

[dawn shell]

Hey can someone help me? So I’m trying to switch for my data center and I don’t know how to do that I am from data center crystal but I want to go to primal with my other friends

[remote lintel]

pay for it

on mog station

[dawn shell]

Is it Home World Transfer?

[remote lintel]

yes

[dawn shell]

But it doesn’t say Primal on here strangely

It just shows worlds

[remote lintel]

because you have to choose a world

[faint flare]

You pick a world on primal

[remote lintel]

to be your new home world

[dawn shell]

OOOOOOO

Gotchu

How do I transfer someone else as leader for free company? It won’t let me leave the world because it gave it to me and I don’t want this role LMAO

Nevermind I got it ehehe

[muted pivot]

Is there any difference between the grand companies? first character, going for summoner

[remote lintel]

aesthetics

[open coral]

Armor color

[lilac dock]

limsa has best armour colour tbh

[open coral]

They're all effectively the same, and after you reach a certain rank, you can always change.

[lilac dock]

im switching to limsa cause their lieutenant armour is dope as fuck

while ul'dah's is kinda meh colour

[magic wren]

Should we be capping revelations?

[faint flare]

Yes

[magic wren]

Every week?

Okay

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

If you want gear definitely

[magic wren]

What do we use them on?

[remote lintel]

gear

[faint flare]

520 gear

[twilit karma]

520 gear, which can be upped to 530 if you do savage or other ways after 5.5 comes out

[magic wren]

The npc in eulmore?

[remote lintel]

yes

[magic wren]

Crap I didn’t know that, I’m over here buying crystarium gear

[remote lintel]

crystarium was old endgame gear

[magic wren]

Okay thank you !

[twilit karma]

If you still need to reach min ilvl for the new normal raids Crystarium is still an option as those tomes are now easy to farm

But once you're there you should start replacing your gear with the new normal raid gear, new crafted gear or yeah the new revelation tome gear

[remote lintel]

wrong channel

[outer plank]

oh shit

[forest lark]

How do I get the emote where u swin arma idk how to explain it best haha

Swing arms*

[twilit arch]

https://64.media.tumblr.com/7e6e8ce59c5cb10fb77046dd3a613fe5/tumblr_pf9idgqTx41vfscdjo1_540.gifv this one?

[vestal needle]

where do you start guildhest?

[forest lark]

Yes

I want it Dx

[twilit arch]

its from the 4 lords trials

[forest lark]

Hmm... I don't think I ever heard about it before

[twilit arch]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/An_Auspicious_Encounter is the starting quest

[tender dirge]

Hey guys, So this free till level 60 thing only applys to new accounts?

I'm hoping i can go back on my main and play till 60....

[twilit arch]

@vestal needle you need to do the initial unlock for guild leves at the adventurer's guild of your starting city. then do the quest "simply the hest" in western thanalan/western la noscea/central shroud depending on starting city

if you've bought the game, then you cannot go back to the trial

[forest lark]

Ohh i do have the quest

[twilit arch]

you need to resub to play again

[forest lark]

I just havent done it yet, stopped at shallows compass

[twilit arch]

the quest after swallow's compass is the one that'll unlock the emote

[tender dirge]

damn thats wack, guess ill make a alt xd

[forest lark]

I am just torturing myself by not unlocking ather currents in Ruby Sea lol

There are only 2 ather teleports in there

[magic wren]

I was doing some research so I spend revelation tombstones to buy Mowen tokens?

You don’t buy actual gear with the rev tombstones?

[twilit arch]

you do

the mowen tokens are for trading in for the revelation weapon

that's all

[magic wren]

It says you need blade of antiquity as well

[twilit arch]

if you're not doing savage, yes

[magic wren]

I see, so in essence it’ll be a grind for a couple of week before I obtain my 520 weapon?

weeks*

[hearty rover]

why does the ilvl 490+ sets doesnt give that much spell speed for healer? does it not matter that much at level 80 stuff now?

[twilit arch]

7 weeks if you're not doing savage

the Allagan Tomestones of Revelation (DoW)/(DoM) are the options that have the gear

[magic wren]

@twilit arch so I’m capped at rev tombstones right now, should I buy the tokens now, then wait until Tuesday for the reset?

[twilit arch]

unless you know for sure that you're going to only aim for the tomestone weapon, you shouldn't spend allegory on the tokens

because you're 1. not going to have enough to buy 10

and 2. you can buy something that as a more immediate affect

while still being able to have enough tomestones by week 7 to get enough tokens

[magic wren]

Hm I see. That’s still 520 gear?

[twilit arch]

@hearty rover 🤷‍♀️ because that tier just didn't have a whole lot of sps for healer

yes, unaugmented relevations gear is 520

[magic wren]

Nice! Thank you.

Also, if I use my rev tombstones and I’m capped, I can’t get anymore tombstones until Tuesday right? I’m just making sure

[twilit arch]

yes

once you've gotten 450 for the week, that's all you can earn

even if you spend them

[magic wren]

Nice! Thanks man.

[jovial tide]

People usually drop '18k' as the ideal figure for a DPS, but for reference, what would be the equivalent for tanks and healers?

Roughly

[jade lava]

Does ishgardian restoration actually change the world?

[tender dirge]

is there a RAF?

[marble drift]

10k tanks gets you middling results on most fights right now. It'll rise with E9-12s

[wintry chasm]

Yes but the progression is server based and not by your own personal progression

[wintry chasm]

Yes!

[magic wren]

Where does one obtain book of litany? Is it through normal or savage eden?

[wintry chasm]

Savage

You can get one per week for completing Litancy (Savage)

[tame moss]

Is there a way to see how many people are in your eureka instance?

[marble drift]

yes I beleive but I can't remember how. someone will be along shortly to tell you

[twilit arch]

in the social menu, the last tab

called "adventurers" iirc

[tidal yarrow]

what are the odds that a portal appear with zonureskin maps?

i just had my unluckiest streak ever

[scarlet sandal]

I feel like the RNG for them has lowered after the Patch probably because of the new stuff

[tidal yarrow]

i also had that feeling

[scarlet sandal]

Because they'd portals definitely used to pop more

[twilit arch]

should still be 50/50

[tidal yarrow]

15 maps we got 3 portals and got kicked in all 3 first room

[twilit arch]

🤷‍♀️ rng

[scarlet sandal]

I have had like one good run since patch release and I've done a few now mind you that's one Good Portal chest out of many runs

Which is why I only use maps I gather

[tight ridge]

anyone have advice what 510 food is good for tanks to use?

[pastel star]

can i extract materia without destroying the item?

[twilit karma]

Yes, now you can

It used to destroy it but now it just resets the spiritbond to 1

and then you can build up more and extract again when it gets to 100%, rinse and repeat

[pastel star]

just right click and retrieve materia?

[little swift]

extract

is the one you're looking for

retrieve removes the melds

from the lowest one up

[pastel star]

cool ty

[twilit karma]

Yeah don't get those mixed up lol, esp if you have overmelds. Not that I would ever do that... <.<

[finite topaz]

I'd say do the old classic

[twilit karma]

If you actually want to remove materia you melded previously yeah that's "Retrieve" and those will come off without being destroyed if they're level VI or lower. If it's a level VII you've got an 80% chance of getting it back and VIIIs are only 40%

[marble drift]

Unless you have an SKS tier to hit

then the Fettuccine

[pastel star]

its VIII thanks for the answers

[gaunt anvil]

why does every1 hate blue mage?

[faint flare]

[open ember]

You need to buy the complete edition if you want all of it

[little swift]

!faq product

[zinc orbit]

How to buy game

Click here for NA

Click here for EU

Click here for JP

Please read over the purchase pages carefully; Square Enix does not look kindly on people who require refunds or perform chargebacks. Chargebacks are grounds for full account termination.

The Starter Edition comes with A Realm Reborn and Heavensward only (content patches 2.0-3.55).

The Complete Edition comes with A Realm Reborn and all expansions up to and including Shadowbringers. (content patches 2.0-5.xx)

The Shadowbringers expansion should only be purchased on its own if: You only own the Starter Edition, or you only own the game up to Stormblood (if you are a new player, this second part likely does not apply to you).

Collector's Edition benefits for Shadowbringers can be viewed here. Note that there is a difference between the physical and digital versions. Digital collector's edition benefits from previous expansions may be purchased on the Mogstation, as well as the digital benefits for Shadowbringers if you buy the standard edition and change your mind later.

[jade quartz]

If you buy Shadowbringers Complete Edition it comes with everything

[solar epoch]

ah ok

thanks for the info

[open ember]

Or buy Starter and Shadowbringers

Whatever works. They cost the same. All $60

[ancient solar]

herre guys

[jade quartz]

alone

Are you in a party?

[faint flare]

Leave your party

[jade quartz]

If so then you are not alone.

[open ember]

You're in a party

[ancient solar]

Okay thank guyss

[onyx kiln]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OywlFk3Kjys anyone that knows what track plays in the fight in this quest?

[delicate stone]

This is my first time w/ a savage raid gear lockout; in pugs should I roll need on anything that I don’t have or just the healer bis? Dunno what’s proper etiquette

[jade quartz]

in pugs roll on what you want

unless the party has agreed otherwise

[delicate stone]

Gotcha, thanks!

[twilit arch]

i believe its fury @onyx kiln

[lone zephyr]

Did yoko taro write shb or help in any way? I'm noticing a lot of small details that make me think he did.

[jade quartz]

No

[onyx kiln]

thanks

[jade quartz]

Yoko Taro wrote the YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse Lv. 80 Alliance Raid storyline.

[lone zephyr]

just that?

[jade quartz]

Yes

[lone zephyr]

Wait was it even confirmed that he just wrote that and he didnt help with the writing of ShB, there's a lot of coincidences and at this point it seems kinda obv to me

[leaden ginkgo]

He has no other involvement with xiv and most likely never will

[faint flare]

Only that

Shadowbringers was written by thr person who did the DRK story stuff

[jade quartz]

Natsuko Ishikawa was the main writer for Shadowbringers.

[leaden ginkgo]

They also wrote the rogue 1-30 quests!

[static yacht]

how do

I macro follow party list

[jade quartz]

She wrote a lot of fan favourite stories.

[static yacht]

position?

like iff I want to follow 5th party list person

[obsidian patio]

<1-8>

[jade quartz]

/follow <5>

[static yacht]

ty

i clear e10s now

[lone zephyr]

Oh then they have an oddly similar type of writing, welp thanks for the info!

[jade quartz]

You're reading too much into it.

[lone zephyr]

of course I am, I love reading LMAO

[gentle grail]

is it difficult to get the eureka armor pieces?

[turbid dust]

Hey, I'm new to this game and I've played Paladin from the start. I would love any tips I could get because I feel like I'm playing really sloppily and I want to get into the higher end content but I don't know if I will be able to handle it. Sometimes I feel like I'm taking too much damage in mob pulls, or just getting absolutely stomped on by bosses.

(Currently a third through StB)

[marble drift]

lemme guess

[alpine shadow]

tip 1. use Arm's Length

[marble drift]

you just did Bardam's Mettle

and it rocked you

[turbid dust]

Bardam's Mettle? No, not yet

[marble drift]

ah. well. prep for that

its not nice to tanks

[turbid dust]

Oh geez

[patent citrus]

when do you use undraw skill?

[alpine shadow]

also, tip 2. wear gear

[turbid dust]

Undraw?

[patent citrus]

AST

[marble drift]

literally never @patent citrus

[alpine shadow]

when you don't like the card

[patent citrus]

ah ok

yeh, maybe while redraw is on cd? but very unlikely lol

ty

[marble drift]

Just use it on Lord/Lady

[sand grove]

Wait what's wrong with Bardam's? I farmed it for nomad set and it didn't seem too bad other than the weird second boss

[patent citrus]

redraw also never? 😂

[alpine shadow]

redraw you can

but not undraw

[marble drift]

redraw is a thing to get the right seals

but no, never undraw

[alpine shadow]

undraw is a loss

[patent citrus]

ok ok

[alpine shadow]

redraw is not a loss

its a buff

if you do it right

[warped nest]

What's the full name of Lord/Lady again?

[turbid dust]

Though uhh, if there was one thing that beat me hard, it was Susano. Dude killed me quick as hell

[twilit karma]

Undraw made some sense before the rework, no idea really why it's still there lol

[patent citrus]

I think Bardam mobs hit a bit hard 😂

and it's the point where shire gear starting to get irrelevant

[warped nest]

!action Lord of the crown

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Action not found, Kupo!

[warped nest]

Ugh, forgot skill name

[twilit karma]

Lord of Crowns and Lady of Crowns, the action is Minor Arcana if no card is drawn

[warped nest]

Thanks

!action Minor Arcana

[zinc orbit]

**Minor Arcana** : lvl 50 AST (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Converts currently drawn arcanum into the Lord of Crowns when Balance, Arrow, or Spear, or the Lady of Crowns when Bole, Ewer, or Spire.
Only one arcanum effect can be applied to a target at a time.

Powered by XIVAPI

[warped nest]

!action Undraw

[zinc orbit]

**Undraw** : lvl 30 AST (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Returns the currently drawn arcanum back to your deck.

Powered by XIVAPI

[warped nest]

So, once you learnt Minor Arcana, you don't use Undraw anymore

[turbid dust]

Dang, AST looks interesting

[patent citrus]

ahhh

make sense

for lower level

[twilit arch]

there's literally no reason to ever undraw

even at low levels

[patent citrus]

ok ok

[twilit karma]

You still wouldn't use it before because you don't have seals before then anyway

[alpine shadow]

why is it called "return to deck"?

why not "discards card"

[warped nest]

Oh yeah, I forgot that you don't get seals until level 50

[twilit karma]

because that might imply you could never get that card again?

Since you discarded it

[sand grove]

They put it back in their deck, not throw it on the ground

[warped nest]

Just flavor text I guess

[alpine shadow]

i thought they threw cards at players

[twilit karma]

I would love that if they did lol

[alpine shadow]

like in bakugan

[sand grove]

Nah they just do the yugioh thing and hold it up while stuff happens

[open coral]

AST works on tarot principles, not card games

You don't discard tarot cards

[warped nest]

What gear were you wearing?

What's your average item level?

[patent citrus]

should I always follow horoscope with aspected helios/helios?

[warped nest]

If you can

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

[twilit arch]

you dont always have to

[warped nest]

But not compulsory

[patent citrus]

but it's better to follow it right to "optimise" it

[warped nest]

It is free 200 AOE as is

[patent citrus]

since it has 60 secs cd

[twilit arch]

if you know a second aoe is coming up relatively soon then yes, you should use helios to prep horoscope

to pop for that second aoe

but if there's no aoe coming within a relatively short time frame

its ok to let horoscope pop on its own without extending it

[turbid dust]

Every single piece of the HW poetics gear, item level 270

[patent citrus]

huhhh susano is lv 70

o_o

[warped nest]

Susano ex or Susano story?

[turbid dust]

Susano story.

[patent citrus]

even story it hurts 😂

[open coral]

Susano is 62 story iirc

[warped nest]

Do you cycle your defensive ability?

[wintry chasm]

63 @open coral

[warped nest]

As in, have one active at any given time

[patent citrus]

oh right it's lv 63 my mistake >.<

[open coral]

Close enough, from a gear perspective.

[turbid dust]

No, I don't always have def abilities active

Is that what I'm supposed to be doing?

[patent citrus]

always, use them all 😂

[turbid dust]

Oh

Well I'm an idiot lol

[patent citrus]

when do you use your defensive ability?

[warped nest]

You have 3-4 defensive ability at this point, so you can afford to have 1 up at any given time, with very little downtime

[twilit arch]

you're not going to have 100% up time on defensive cds, but you should be using them for big hits

[turbid dust]

When my health starts decreasing semi-quickly

[patent citrus]

sooo

[warped nest]

You should use defensive ability at high health

[turbid dust]

O

[warped nest]

Because it becomes "more health" for your enemies to chew through

[patent citrus]

yeh, defensive ability is to prevent the damage he's hitting

[turbid dust]

I see

Thank you, guys! This has been really insightful

[alpine shadow]

yeah, if you use defensive ability when you are at 0 hp, i don't think you will survive an another hit

[warped nest]

Say you have 50,000 health, if you use a "take 10 percent less damage", it would mean the enemies need to do much more than 50k damage to chew through your health

[turbid dust]

Yeah, I get what you mean

[warped nest]

Like what Snow said, you cannot have one defensive skill up at all time

But the higher you go, the more choices you will get

[alpine shadow]

if the pack does last longer, then you do might need to do a restrict on how many abilities you use at once

so you don't die when everything is already used

[warped nest]

Oh yeah, mobs are usually deadlier than bosses

Oh, last tip: Hallowed Ground is a defensive tool, not a panic button

[sudden lintel]

Hi. If I buy a apartment in stormblood can friends visit if they're still in ARR??

[alpine shadow]

bosses in savage > nothing
adds in savage > hell

[turbid dust]

OH, I've always used it like a panic button...

[patent citrus]

@sudden lintel allow estate teleportation

[turbid dust]

I think I've visited a friend in a Stormblood apartment while in HW

[patent citrus]

and ask your friend to right click your name on your friends list

[sudden lintel]

@patent citrus ah ok tyty!!

Thanks! I was worried!

[warped nest]

You taking no damage for a few second means:
A you don't need to use other defensive skill
B even healer can do AOE (assuming they notice your invuln and didn't blindly overheal you)

Enemies died faster = less defensive skill spent

[simple pine]

is "Burnished Glory" in e11s magic or physical damage?

[turbid dust]

So, should I use it on bigger/more dangerous pulls? Considering it has such a long cd

[warped nest]

Yes, big pulls

[patent citrus]

I think magical, looks like a laser 😂

[turbid dust]

Thanks!

[warped nest]

I think that's all for now, Good luck and have fun

[patent citrus]

I think you can use invulnerability long cd for big pulls

but not the non-pure invulnerability

like the war/drk, better not use it for big pull 🤔

[warped nest]

For war and DRK you might need more coordination

But Cres here plays Paladin

[patent citrus]

ahhh

then use it first 😂

[warped nest]

So my explanation here is focused on Hallowed Ground

[turbid dust]

Yup

Though I was thinking of picking up GNB

[patent citrus]

well can be multiple class, so just pick up anytime you want 😂

beside leveling just 1 class would be overkill even just by doing MSQ

[tacit atlas]

Does anybody know what the shield priority is?

Like if I adlo a DRK with TBN what breaks first?

Is it just the last shield or

[turbid dust]

When/where can I unlock GNB may I ask?

[twilit arch]

lvl 60, in gridania. assuming you have shadowbringers ofc

[patent citrus]

gridania, the hotgar guy accompanied by viera

[tacit atlas]

It's in gridania

[turbid dust]

Thanks!!

[twilit arch]

no, its a wood wailer

[onyx kiln]

is this just like any other housing item or does it serve any purpose?

[twilit arch]

just a regular housing item

[onyx kiln]

so just incase you want to have it look like a store or something

[twilit arch]

ye

[tacit atlas]

There are some that you can actually use but they say that on the description usually

Gives boosts until you are level 70 or something like that

[patent citrus]

when to use ruin 2 as scholar?

[tacit atlas]

Mobility

[patent citrus]

ow

make sense

[open coral]

When you need to keep up damage but also move for mechanics.

[tacit atlas]

When you are weaving oGCD's usually

[warm snow]

Both

[tacit atlas]

You lose more damage by clipping your GCD than just using ruin 2 and the oGCD

[patent citrus]

ooo would you say you use more of ruin 2 than broil?

[tacit atlas]

Not really

[twilit arch]

no

you should ideally have more broil casts than ruin 2

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

[twilit arch]

just for example, some of the top parses on fflogs. most schs have over 100~ broil 3 casts

and around 50~ ruin 2s

[tacit atlas]

Remember to use your oGCD's when you reapply the DoT

If you can i mean

[patent citrus]

should i time my fey illumination with summon seraph?

or do people use them independently often?

would it be considered a waste to not use whispering dawn during seraph mode? 🤔

[tacit atlas]

I don't play enough SCH to know that but

[patent citrus]

like both 120 secs cd

but i'm not sure myself

[tacit atlas]

Keep in mind that sometimes it eats those if you turn the fairy into seraph

So keep that in mind and see when it actually applies the regen/illumination

Then after that turn it into seraph

[patent citrus]

oh wait, both has the same effects o_o

even if i turned it into seraph

[tacit atlas]

Yes I meant that it doesn't actually cast it sometimes

[faint flare]

Thats ghosting

[tacit atlas]

If you turn the fairy right after

[faint flare]

If you use the skill then summon

[tacit atlas]

Yes that

I didn't know the proper term lol

[patent citrus]

oh right, i don't have the effect

good to know

if i turned it to seraph right after i cast fey illum*

[delicate stone]

How do you get rarefied white scrip things?

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

[delicate stone]

There used to be a collectible action you could turn on I think

[jade quartz]

You simply craft them

Collectable items can now only be crafted as collectables

There is no longer a status which you can accidentally forget to toggle

[jade lava]

how would i get in to raiding at this point? do i start with extremes and if so how do i find people to do those, or people to do shb raids prior to eden's promise?

[jade quartz]

Collectable recipes are found in the special recipes tab

[twilit karma]

Make sure you check what the minimum collectability you need to hit is

[delicate stone]

What about gathering?

[twilit karma]

or else they won't accept it

[delicate stone]

Is there still collector's glove? I can't find the action

[jade quartz]

Gather a collectable item

It will open the collectable gathering menu

There is not

Except for fisher

[tacit atlas]

Like, as a completely new person to raiding or?

[delicate stone]

gotcha, thanks! is there an updated website for the collectible timers and what not?

[jade quartz]

I use garland tools

[jade lava]

yeah completely new

[tacit atlas]

Usually there are lots of people using PF for the current stuff, doing EX trials first is probably easier

[jade quartz]

Teamcraft also has the functionality

[tacit atlas]

I will state the obvious and say that you have to gear up first

[jade quartz]

Gear up, watch guides and join some ex trial learning/practice parties sponge

[delicate stone]

Huh, wasn't sure if that was updated, thanks! Just checking, I mined some primstone but it didn't turn on the menu, just got primstone and not rarefied

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys, so I’ve levelled WHM to 80 and it’s my main job, but was really excited to try DRG as I don’t wanna heal ALL the time lol. I was wondering, is there an easy way to switch between jobs? Like right now I gotta switch weapon, then find all the gear and put it on. It’s fine, but feel like there must be an easier way? Ty in advance! 🙂

[jade lava]

would i be able to find statics to do pre 5.4 shb raids at this point?

[tacit atlas]

You can make PF for extremes for "fresh prog" of old stuff

Probably, there are always new people

[jade quartz]

They’re separate items void

[warped nest]

@leaden ginkgo Gearset

[jade quartz]

You save gear sets and switch with the click of a button

[delicate stone]

Sorry, it's been a few months since I did gathering, I'm a bit confused

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohh tysm! 🙂 thank you!

[jade quartz]

Gearsets can be dragged onto your hotbars

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh nice! Maybe I could set up a separate one for jobs! 🙂

[jade quartz]

Gathering collectables are found in the special nodes tab of the gathering log

[delicate stone]

Gotcha, I think I just found a node; did they change the abilities too?

[jade quartz]

There are no more hotbar abilities

You click the abilities inside the collectable gathering window

[delicate stone]

Neat! That's some nice QoL changes tbh; do you know the new rotation for collectibles?

[jade quartz]

Check #doh-dol-lounge

[delicate stone]

ouo b

[jade quartz]

You’ll need the DoH role from #612757637813239808

[delicate stone]

Yup, just grabbed it, I think I found a google doc

[delicate stone]

Hmmm so it looks like garland tools isn't updated for the rarefied nodes?

[warped nest]

Is it updated to 5.4?

Or is it still on 5.3?

The main page should have this information written down somewhere

[twilit arch]

Bell hasn't been updated yet for the new gathering collectables

oh wait no, they are there but seems like they're not listed under the appropriate tags

you need to actually search for them

[delicate stone]

huh, that's unfortunate

[twilit arch]

or take off the yellow/white scrip task tags

[delicate stone]

btw, will weapon crafting come out for emerald weapon eventually? wondering what to do with the plating

[tacit atlas]

I just use teamcraft for that stuff

[twilit arch]

probably not until sometime 6.x

[tacit atlas]

As in, if craftable will be better than emerald weapons?

Probably not on this patch at least

[twilit arch]

i assume they mean craftable emerald weapon

[tacit atlas]

Ahh

Probably not soon, yup

[delicate stone]

Ahhh, so I should just sell it now then I guess

[twilit arch]

up to you

[tacit atlas]

If you are planning to farm it more

That's probably a good idea since prices will definitely go down as the days pass

[frozen girder]

Is there a way that I can swap hotbars with a button?

I mean bind these to a button

[gilded forge]

Where's a good place to get level ~60 crafting armor / accessories? (Not finished ShB yet)

[shrewd light]

does square ever do any deals for timecards/subtime this time of year?or is it generly for the basegame

[faint flare]

No

[gilded forge]

I've never seen the actual sub price go on sale ever

[forest lark]

Are there any recent guide websites for leveling crafters?

[shrewd light]

Same, but i always did it though amazon, best ive seen was a fatchcobo mount for buying, thanks!

[forest lark]

All the ones I found are 5 6 years ago

[leaden ginkgo]

can you get the new tomestones from hunt trains?

[delicate stone]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

how many do you get per boss?

[delicate stone]

ShB A12 trains

10 per

[shell hazel]

Does Resetting the Allagan mean i should spend whatever I can before the reset?

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks

[delicate stone]

Nope; you can have 2k max

[leaden ginkgo]

no, it just means you cap 450 per week

[delicate stone]

The 450 is how many you can earn in a week

[leaden ginkgo]

ah the poetiics

it's just a cap, it doesn't reset per week

[shell hazel]

okay so i can save up to 2000k n spend them

[leaden ginkgo]

so to be clear, after 31 hours, you'll still have them

[shell hazel]

thanks :0

[leaden ginkgo]

the only thing you should worry about is to cap the new tomes

get at least 450 of the new tomestones per week (max allowance)

[shell hazel]

i dont even think im there yet 😉

i am lvl 54 and just farming dungoens for theses tokens for gear :0

still trying to figure out how to get my wepaon upgrade w the tokens :9

[hazy shadow]

I completed all 4 eden normal modes and did the quest line after/cut scenes but it never unlocked.

I don't have them in my high end duty finder or df in general.

[raven sage]

Did you talk to lewery?

[hazy shadow]

yes

[raven sage]

hm

And he has nothing else for you?

[hazy shadow]

no, no blue marker or anything.

[left moth]

Old savage is in df

[hazy shadow]

I know.

I'm saying I don't have the fight at all.

[raven sage]

Did you restart your game?

[hazy shadow]

no, should I?

[raven sage]

I would try it

[left moth]

Did the blah blah has unlocked pop up after the sidequest?

That might work also

[twilit arch]

can you post a screenshot of your high end duty section please

[hazy shadow]

I don't know. I was tabbed out. And sure.

[raven sage]

Did you actually switch the tab to raids?

[wintry chasm]

You're looking at the trial fights

Not the raid fights

[left moth]

Raid finder?

[hazy shadow]

The raid fights are greyed out

[raven sage]

No they're not

[wintry chasm]

Raid is the left tab

[raven sage]

I can see it right there

[wintry chasm]

not the right tab

[hazy shadow]

..

[twilit arch]

right tab is ultimates

[hazy shadow]

I am big dumb

Thank you

[opaque pewter]

Are Keeper's Hymns still used f or anything now that attribute changing is gone?

Well, been gone for years.

[twilit arch]

nope

[opaque pewter]

Hm, this stack of 99 in my inventory. It must've been there for 5 years then. okay thx.

[leaden ginkgo]

hey guys

where is this glamour from? or is this just crafter gear?

found it by accident google pics

[twilit arch]

that's the craftsman's coverall top, can either buy from marketboard or buy with scrips from ishgardian restoration

[leaden ginkgo]

@twilit arch thx very much 🙂

the shirt looks cool

[frozen girder]

When will I ever use this?

[twilit arch]

yes

its part of the AoE rotation

[frozen girder]

But it takes all MP

[twilit arch]

higher lvl gives a trait that grands you umbral souls

[frozen girder]

Oh

So it's useless for now?

[twilit arch]

which will reduce the cost by half, so you can get 2 flares off

no

[jade quartz]

no it's still useful

[twilit arch]

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM leveling rotations

[twilit arch]

you basically use it as a "finisher"

at lower levels

[frozen girder]

I see

[jade quartz]

It uses all remaining MP

doesn't require a full bar

[frozen girder]

Oh wait

What

[jade quartz]

There's a minimum required though

[frozen girder]

What's the minimum?

It would be nice if the game said that

[faint flare]

800mp

[frozen girder]

Is this useful before Ley lines?

[jade quartz]

yes

[twilit arch]

yes

[jade quartz]

it is not related to ley lines

#general-discussion

not here

[twilit arch]

is more appropriate in #general-discussion

[frozen girder]

Any reason to have Thunder 2 and 3 in my hotbar?

[jade quartz]

yes

one is single target one is AoE

[frozen girder]

What about 1

[jade quartz]

1 upgrades to 3

you can't use 1 when you have 3, it's auto replaced

[frozen girder]

Oh lel

[jade quartz]

similarly, 2 will upgrade to 4 when you unlock it

[frozen girder]

What about Scathe

[faint flare]

Basically useless

[frozen girder]

Is sleep useful at all? I can only imagine that others will wake up the enemy as soon as I use it

[faint flare]

No

[frozen girder]

kk

At level 50, this is my hotbar for Black Mage

[faint flare]

Fire 1

[frozen girder]

Role skills are on a seperate static hotbar

[twilit arch]

[faint flare]

Missing fire 1

[frozen girder]

I need Fire 1? :o

[twilit arch]

yes

[frozen girder]

Do I need Blizzard 1?

[twilit arch]

fire 3 is to get into astral fire asap

but you still use fire 1

as your main filler

[frozen girder]

Wait wat

[twilit arch]

and yes you should have blizzard 1 as well

!action fire III

[faint flare]

Fire 3 caat time is shit for its potency

[agile laurel]

blizzard 1 is only useful at extremely low levels

[twilit arch]

fire 3 is 3.5s cast time

fire 1 is 2.5

[frozen girder]

Wait

[twilit arch]

less mana as well

[agile laurel]

at higher levels it becomes useless entirely

[frozen girder]

You keep the Astral Fire 3 buff when using Fire 1?

[twilit arch]

yes

[frozen girder]

Ooooooh

That makes more sense then

So Fire 3 -> Fire 1 -> Blizzard 3 -> Thunder 3 -> Fire 3 -> Fire 1 -> Blizard 3 etc.

[agile laurel]

also you can use flare before Umbral Soul by using transpose directly after and waiting for a bit of MP regen before continuing, but it's not dead efficient

[frozen girder]

I'm level 50 rn >_<

[agile laurel]

erm, not quite

[frozen girder]

Wait

[agile laurel]

B3, (thunder at leisure), then F3 to switch, then spam f1 til out, then B3 to switch, repeat

[frozen girder]

Once you have a level 3 buff does it stay until you lose it completely?

[agile laurel]

or switch to the other, yes

[frozen girder]

Oh yeah

I was asking whether that order was correct

But filling time for MP

Not just flat out rotating

[agile laurel]

It's best to consider that F3 and B3 should be used either when F3 is procced and free/instant, or to switch between the phases

Hard casting them for any other reason isn't profitable

[frozen girder]

Will F3 glow like a combo when it's free?

[agile laurel]

yes

[frozen girder]

Oh damn

I've been doing so many things wrong

XD

[agile laurel]

fire 1 has a chance to proc free instant fire 3

[frozen girder]

I'm redoing all of my hotbars

So I've been watching tutorials

But Black Mage I haven't been able to grasp

[agile laurel]

blm is awkward because until you unlock fire 4, what you should absolutely be doing is getting your MP to full, using F3 to switch into Astral Fire 3, then spamming Fire 1 til your MP is out

[frozen girder]

Yaya

[agile laurel]

then using B3 or Freeze to switch into Umbral Ice 3, regen mana, repeat

[frozen girder]

I get it now

[agile laurel]

once you unlock fire 4 then that sort of replaces fire 1 in terms of your mp burn, pun intended

[frozen girder]

Why keep Blizzard 1 tho

[agile laurel]

and blizzard 4 is what grants you Umbral Soul which reduces the cost of fire

you don't

[twilit arch]

because you're not at a point where you can drop it

[agile laurel]

as I said a little previously, blizzard 1 gets invalidated quick

[twilit arch]

you can still potentially get fucked over by server ticks

or you dont need to refresh thunder

[frozen girder]

If I do I can use transfiguration?

[twilit arch]

so you use blizzard 3>blizzard 1

to fill in the gap
