[faint flare]

Whm has higher personal dps, astro has the lowest but gives the most raid damage

[jade quartz]

really

really really really wrong

and daft.

Your aim should be to maximise dps while keeping everyone alive.

i.e. heal as much as you need to

and not more

[spring thorn]

@little swift I appreciate this, but I can't open the launcher once I have my first instance open

[verbal nacelle]

What’s SKS mean when trying to meld meteria?

[open coral]

Skill speed. Basically how fast the gcd is for non-spellcaster classes.

[tulip skiff]

How I move the resistance rank box thing in front of screen I’m lookinig in hud but can’t figure out how to do it.

[verbal nacelle]

Does melding materia lower GCD?

What level/how much is a permanent mount?

[faint flare]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[faint flare]

All mounts are permanent

[crystal bluff]

Mogstation mounts are like 20 bucks?

[white hedge]

Thanks 🙂

[amber jewel]

im already lv70 but still have like 22 MSQ left to finish stormblood should i just grind the rest of it out or skip ahead to shadowbringers so i can get my lv70 gear with poetics now ?

also would i miss out on many lvls if i skipped or it wouldnt even get me a lvl if i skipped ahead ?

[crystal bluff]

Just grind it out
Its not like any SB msq stuff will need you to have scaeven gear

[amber jewel]

how i show u my charector look see if my stuff is good enough

[faint flare]

Its just such a waste of money to skip when you're so close

[crystal bluff]

Wait
22 msq left as in
22 msq until you can start shadowbringers
Or 22 msq left until you finish 4.0

[amber jewel]

i just wanna get my 70 AF and scaeven gears 😦

22 MSQ till i finish 4.0

then its the dumb post patch stuff

[faint flare]

You dony need to finish 4.0 for your 70 job gear

You can get it as soon as you can access whatever final zone your lv70 quest takes you

[amber jewel]

no but i do need to do like 5 or 6 more missions to get to job missions it says

i mean the lv70 one

[faint flare]

Then get them done

[amber jewel]

how can i show u my charector i forget oO

and does exp drop off post patch or does it increase ?

<Dark Shadowz>

[faint flare]

Post patches always give lower xp than normal

[amber jewel]

if i skip ahead to shadowbringers will it do my lv70 AF for me or i still gotta do that ?

[faint flare]

You would need to get a level skip as well. Story skip only does story

[amber jewel]

i am already lv70

[marble drift]

you're putting too much stock in some artifact armor dude

[amber jewel]

i just want it for the looks silver

[marble drift]

right then just do the quests mate

[faint flare]

And you're already super close to it

[marble drift]

^

[faint flare]

You're literally paying like 18 bucks to skip 6 quests

[silent pike]

hey i'm trying and failing to find an answe: which data center is best for west coast?

[warped nest]

Same

All three NA data centers are on the same physical location

California, if you must know

[silent pike]

yeah i found that out but i wanna know like which one is poppin

[south roost]

For paladin does Spirits Within check your hp when you cast it or when you hit with it?

[warped nest]

Cast...?

[jade quartz]

Aether and Primal have more raiders, Crystal has fewer raiders and a large roleplaying population.

That's it.

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)

[elfin wagon]

where do i get the lvl 70 artifact gear if i used a boost

[hasty musk]

the calamity salvager, maybe?

or whatever that npc is called

[vivid bison]

pretty sure you get a coffer

[twilit arch]

if you boosted, you do not

you have to buy it from the calamity salvager

[vivid bison]

ah, then they give you silver feathers

[elfin wagon]

where is tht :0

[vivid bison]

each main city has one

[twilit arch]

boosting doesn't give silver feathers either

[vivid bison]

is it only story skip that gives you gear?

[twilit arch]

no, when you use the boost your character is logged out to automatically equip a set of scaevan gear

there's a calamity salvager in the 3 main cities. gridania and limsa are probably the easiest because they're both near the mail moogles, the amphitheater in gridania and aftcastle in limsa

[vivid bison]

so they just overwrite you gear then and put you on the class you boost

uldah is in between the mining guild and the weaver guild i believe

[drowsy stream]

quick question guys for the lvl 30 bard job i understand its in the archer guild, but i went there and its not showing up

and the cahracter is lvl 30

[worthy basin]

did you finish the msq "Sylph Management"?

[drowsy stream]

oh not yet, so gotta do all the main story quests?

[worthy basin]

yes

[drowsy stream]

thanks

[worthy basin]

you should be doing them since most of the game's feature is locked behind the msq.

[drowsy stream]

right thank you

what kind of things does bard do in a group?

[marble drift]

Shoot bad guys

hand out some free buffs.

[drowsy stream]

yeah other than that

does he get a speed buff?

[marble drift]

well you "are" a dps role friend

thats what dps does

[brave sky]

temp speed buff ya, peloton

[marble drift]

you get an out of combat move speed buff yes

[drowsy stream]

thx

[vivid bison]

Bards play songs which boost the stats of their party and have proc based bonus speed/ogcd refresh/charged ogcd

It can be pretty frantic if you place your bites on multiple mobs

[gritty oracle]

Yeah brd is p much unplayable above 150 ping

[raven lantern]

hello, how do i get here at The Sea of Clouds without flying?

or am I supposed to unlock flying first?

[marble drift]

thats hard to say without context

[raven lantern]

i dont have all the aether currents for this map yet, but i'm trying to unlock the lv 60 alliance

[marble drift]

ah so you've finished the MSQ in this area?

[raven lantern]

yeah just started dragonsong era

[marble drift]

Right. you'll need flying

[raven lantern]

okay!

thank you!!

[agile night]

how many turn ins can I do for the 10 leve multi-turn in things? I know the normal one is 3, all I know right now is I've turned in 3 and it will let me do more

[twilit arch]

pretty sure its 10 for the 10x leve

[agile night]

oh damn, I'm not prepared for that. Oh well, may just cut it short

[twilit arch]

but temple leves aren't really that good

like, unless you're strapped for time/lazy, you should be doing the normal leves

[agile night]

yeah I haven't been getting on every day, came back to find it capped at 100.

[gritty oracle]

In general leves are pretty meh. Combat leves are only good for getting alt jobs to 15, gathering and crafting leves have been made obsolete by Ishgard and ocean fishing

The only good leve is the cookie leve

[twilit arch]

uh no

that's not right at all

crafting and gathering leves are still very good

[warped nest]

Leve are still the best exp source

But they are limited by leve quota

[twilit arch]

ishgard lets you be lazy

[agile night]

well this crafting leve will get me from 62 to 66 even if I cut it short.

[slate arrow]

Leves are still extremely good with HQ turn ins

[plain python]

@raven lantern you need to come back to Sea of Cloud through MSQ (around lv57) for second time to access the upper part of the map before you can really fly in the area.

[warped nest]

If you are pacing yourself, Leve is more efficient

But Ishgard lets you grind with no limit

[gritty oracle]

I'd say Ishgard is still more efficient since you get scrips, kupo lotto and is more macroable

[twilit arch]

not if you're going for exp

[plain python]

what is the effective gatheing in Diadem? I make a round gathering all mining nodes, then making another round gathering all wood node?

[raven lantern]

okay!! thank you!

[twilit arch]

leves are by far the better choice if all you care about is leveling quickly

[agile night]

and at 60 is an awkward place for ishgard I found. hard to get good equipment right now, and without better equipment the lv60 ishgard stuff is quite difficult for me currently. and the lv40 is getting too slow

[warped nest]

Do your job quests for exp?

[twilit arch]

if you want to double dip on the restoration goodies, then yeah doing ishgard is better because you're getting the goods you want

[gritty oracle]

Nodes respawn by the time you make a circle. I usually stay an entire lockout in one gatherer, then the other

[twilit arch]

but do not say the ishgard made leves obsolete because its flat out false

[warped nest]

Even GC turn in are still good

Despite being a one off per day

[twilit arch]

also ocean fishing only runs every 2 hrs so its not like you can do that all the time either so it definitely didn't make leves obsolete either

[plain python]

well, I'm lv60 carp. I used 40 leve to turn in HQ quality in ishgard, booming to lv68

[agile night]

I loved the GC turn ins until about 50. then difficulty spiked

I still check them once in a while

[warped nest]

Afaict, they don't use expert recipes

Lvl 51 should be using Heavensward recipe

[twilit arch]

the difficultly though from 50 to 51 one recipes is probably what they're talking about

which is true, the jump to 51 recipes can be kind of harsh

[agile night]

yeah. it went from needing like 2000 for quality to 5000.

[patent citrus]

I stopped at lv 30 lol, I think ishgardian restoration is fast and cost almost nothing

[vivid bison]

there’s a difficulty spike since 50 then goes 1 star, 2 star, 3 star, 4 star then 51

[patent citrus]

the npc item to turn in GC price spiked a lot, some costs like 10k a piece

meanwhile there's a clear guide in #doh-dol-lounge that you can just follow and earned fast 80

[plain python]

the npc item in GC is only worth if you play free-trial and want to spend your cap gil. Well, I level up all crafts from 50-60 with GC turning.

but don't do that as sub players, as it hurts your gil a lot XD

[twilit arch]

gc turn ins are still good

if either they're cheap or you are willing to craft it yourself, especially if its a starred turn in

[patent citrus]

yeh, that's the problem with it you just get exp o_o

while in ishgard, you get scrips+items that you can sell for gils

[twilit arch]

you get gc seals as well

so you can make gil with it too, if you decide to use the seals to sell prism or the crafting materials (assuming they sell well)

[patent citrus]

and i started to gear gears from finishing the jobs quests from each crafters, and I was thinking why not just use it and try out the ishgard resto guide 😂

I guess so

[plain python]

Diadem good to lv80?

[twilit arch]

diadem's alright, main reason to do it is because you're going to be using restoration to level your crafters

otherwise should be doing leves or collectables

[brave sky]

for mnk, is form shift exclusively to get twin snakes first in your opener or is there something i'm missing?

[green plover]

what does glamor means like i can wear a armor that i like on a armor that i dont like?

[agile night]

changes appearance of an armor piece to something else

[twilit arch]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[gloomy mortar]

Can you buy the Starlight outdoor furnishings after the event ends?

[twilit arch]

not until they get put on the mogstation

so if you want them, buy them now

[gloomy mortar]

Certain items available during previous iterations of the event can be obtained via the Seasonal Shop.

Where?

Seasonal Shop is the money mogstation?

[twilit arch]

for one, the previous items are just fireworks

two the shop is the lalafel in the kiosk near the amphitheater

the starlight celebrant

[gloomy mortar]

The seasonal shop disappears after the event ends?

[twilit arch]

yes

[gloomy mortar]

🤦‍♀️

[twilit arch]

its kind of in the name

[gloomy mortar]

🤷‍♀️

Are the Starlight Letters available for replay in the Inn?

[fallen niche]

If you were to buy an account wide mount, then create another character after, would that character get the mount?

[twilit arch]

yes

[fallen niche]

Also, would that character be able to use the mount right off the bat, or would they need to do something else before they could use the mount?

Like I mean completely fresh, just did Intro cutscene and stuff.

[twilit arch]

you would still need to get your chocobo first

[gritty oracle]

You would get mailed the mount key
You still gotta unlock your normal mount though

[twilit arch]

before you're able to use any mounts

[fallen niche]

Ah

[gritty oracle]

Same with any other acc wide mount

[thorn totem]

Do gears from Potd carry over to Hoh?

[upper temple]

Hi, i don't find video but white mage can clear solo Palace of Dead 1-100? I think for title but idk if I need make another job

[thorn totem]

Possible

But why do that to yourself as a whm xD

If you really want to clear high floors, def rdm ez solo

[upper temple]

Cause i can't play another jobs since years. On many mmorpg I can play only supporter/healer XD

So sad, ok ty. I will try in future

[gritty oracle]

Whm can perfectly get the job done

[thorn totem]

Its gonna be difficult, I'm sure its possible to get to floor 100, just gonna take forever and have to be very patient xD

Well I wouldnt say difficult.

Just time consuming

[upper temple]

if is only for patient is ok

[gritty oracle]

Also what's the easiest way to farm aetherpool? I want the shiny padjali weapons

[thorn totem]

Floor up

Higher floor=higher chance of + gear

[gritty oracle]

Ooh nice
Is there a sweet spot or just as high as I can go?

[thorn totem]

Hm normally? Well, the fastest way imo is farming floor 51-60

It has the fastest queue and

Its good xp

[twilit arch]

basically just run 51-60 and open silver chests

pray for upgrade

[thorn totem]

Till ur 60

^

Basically

Just pray xD

[twilit arch]

padjali only requires 3 grips, by the by

so that's 30 aetherpool

[thorn totem]

Yep

30/30

Forgot how to spell it but the red one, starts w K, is at 60

[gritty oracle]

Doesn't soloing it make it quicker? Since instaque and no prople pressuring you to just zoom to the next level

[thorn totem]

Well what I like to do is run it w pt bcuz

U can spread out to find more treasure

And go up floor faster cuz u can find the room w the key quicker

[twilit arch]

assuming the queue times aren't bad, you should be doing it with a group tbh

[thorn totem]

Ye

Usually queue time isnt bad for 51-60

[twilit arch]

as ryuu said, spread out

but make sure you're playing sort of safe

that you're not needlessly pulling mobs or getting yourself into a sticky situation where the others have to come save you and should fine

plus you dont have to fully enter the room to see if its got a chest or not

[thorn totem]

Brown chest=Item, Gold=Promenade, Silver=Gear lvl :)

[gritty oracle]

In my experience in potd and hoh people just want to grind levels

Don't care about chests

[twilit arch]

thats why you spread out and go for the chests yourself

[thorn totem]

Yeah true, not all the time tho

[twilit arch]

while they're clearing enough mobs to go to the enxt level

[thorn totem]

Yee

[gritty oracle]

Would ninja be best then? So I can sneak around mobs

Is there any scenario where hide is realistically useful

[thorn totem]

You still would need to clear some mobs in order to progress to next floor

So honestly? No not really

[little swift]

rdm is the typical best solo choice

[thorn totem]

Yep

[little swift]

good damage/kiting and sustain

[thorn totem]

Rdm is easy floor 200 solo

[gritty oracle]

Why does FFXIV have so little useful out of combat utility spells
There's Peloton and
That's it

[thorn totem]

Theyre overall well rounded

Also if you do run potd

[little swift]

peloton isn't a combat utility spell either

it doesn't work in combat

[gritty oracle]

Out of combat* thanks autocorrect

[thorn totem]

And youre in a pt with a red mage, let them use lust. Never take lust from rdm lmao

[gritty oracle]

Why's that

[thorn totem]

Their quick cast works on succubus

[gloomy mortar]

Does it tell you who the Starlight letters are from?

[thorn totem]

They cast it faster than any other class

[marble drift]

and Succubus vastly outdamages anything you can do

[thorn totem]

Yep

Basically

Thats why rdm op xD

In potd that is^

[marble drift]

if you don't have a red mage but have more than one tank

let a tank take it

then again. its a deep dungeon. its not life or death

[lime geode]

Is there a Fresh 80 guide and how to start progressing through the gear levels?

[marble drift]

no but I guess I can run through basic stuff. Get your artifact gear, do dungeons, get gear and allegory tomes, get crystarium gear until you can run the latest normal raids to get normal raid stuff and then supplement it with weekly tome gear (cryptstalker)

[lime geode]

what's weekly tome gear - the eden's promise stuff?

[thorn totem]

What are some of your guys' way of lvling alts specifically base class from 1-50?

[marble drift]

you have a weekly cap on the latest tomes.

450 a week.

[thorn totem]

Obviously 50-60 is Potd and 60-70 is hoh

[lime geode]

Ok, which is ilvl 500 I think. And then the edens promise stuff gives you 510

[marble drift]

No thats the basic tome gear. Crystarium is 500

Cryptstalker is 520.

[lime geode]

Which you can buy with the 450 you get per week?

[marble drift]

yeh

[gritty oracle]

Cryptlurker

[marble drift]

right. Cryptlurker. sorry. confused it with that old WoW hunter set

[thorn totem]

Lol

I was confused for a sec LMAO

[lime geode]

yeah I've beent rying to figure out what weapon to get after 485 on my main, but lvling up a PLD to 80 right now and was just getting ready.

[gritty oracle]

Tbh I'd get chest first because it can be used with all tanks

[marble drift]

you have some options.

[gritty oracle]

You can upgrade your relic for easy 500

[lime geode]

yeah someone mentioned emerald extreme - I don't think I can handle extremes yet

ohwhere do you upgrade the relic wep?

[marble drift]

same place you got it

its a bit of a grind

but hey. its only time

[lime geode]

haha

[gritty oracle]

If you want to get into extremes, I recommend Titania. Pretty easy with ilvl now and it's just a nice fight

Or innocence

[lime geode]

I remember when I got Titan Ex and just queued for it like normal as I didn't know any better. Heh.

[gritty oracle]

Ouch

[lime geode]

I'm not a huge grind fan - what other wep options do I have

[marble drift]

Crafted

they're kinda bad tho in most cases

[gritty oracle]

Tbh you need at most 10 runs for your weapon, if you don't get lucky and have it drop before that

[lime geode]

10 runs of what?

[marble drift]

Titania won't give him a good weapon tho

[gritty oracle]

Yeah but it's good for easing into extremes

[silver ruin]

500 gear via tomes>or upgrade to exarchic (510) right away if you have like 1.5m/weekly locked normal raid gear, emerald weapon EX for 515 weapon (or exarchic), tome gear(locked tomes)>savage (optional) + upgraded tome gear for 530

currently the highest you can get without endgame raids is 520/515 weapon

by endgame raids i mean savage stuff

[marble drift]

technically 525 weapon

[silver ruin]

what

there is no 525 weapon

[gritty oracle]

Emerald extreme. There's a bad luck protection system so if the weapon doesn't drop, you can still buy it with tokens

[silver ruin]

emerald extreme is 515

[lime geode]

sounds like saving Tomes of Rev is a good option

[silver ruin]

yep

[marble drift]

actually you're right. it'd be 535

[gritty oracle]

I'd save for two weeks then buy chest tome gear

[silver ruin]

yea thats savage tho

[marble drift]

at the top end. my math was off

[silver ruin]

lmao

[lime geode]

Wouldnt buying the weapon be better - or can you not buy them?

[silver ruin]

you cant

[lime geode]

Ah

[silver ruin]

you need a normal raid token

[gritty oracle]

You can very easily get an i500 weapon and that's generally good enough if you don't want to buy crafted

[lime geode]

What's the 520 without savage wep?

[marble drift]

Cryptlurker.

it'll require a BUNCH of weeks

[oak ice]

7 E12 tokens and 1000 tomestones

[lime geode]

Ah ic

[marble drift]

1 token a week

[gritty oracle]

Going tbh
If you're not ready for extremes, you're not ready for savages, and that's the two where you need to optimize gear like this

[lime geode]

Yep

I have 200 ping (Australia) so I find that affects things more than I'd like for dodging.

[gritty oracle]

Ouch

[marble drift]

get a vpn fam

[silver ruin]

i mean its doable but you gotta do mechanics faster in advance

[lime geode]

I have one

[silver ruin]

and you cant play some classes since you cant double weave

[marble drift]

then why are you still on 200ping? seems like a terrible vpn

[silver ruin]

you wouldnt be able to dodge last second like people from na playing

[lime geode]

VPN gets me down to 170ish

[silver ruin]

but i know peoplewh o cleared ultimates on like 170 ping

[gritty oracle]

Yeah high ping is a nightmare
Have you checked your IP on Japan servers? You might be better off there

[marble drift]

on NA?

[silver ruin]

which is a step above savage

[lime geode]

I have checked JP - about the same

[gritty oracle]

170 is still too high to double weave

[silver ruin]

yea

[gritty oracle]

In my experience

[silver ruin]

no it definitely is

you probably cant reliably over 120 or so

[lime geode]

Right, so figured savage is a bit much 😉

[marble drift]

eh just don't play jobs that double weave

[gritty oracle]

I plan to transfer to EU where I live the second my current static disbands

[silver ruin]

again: no savage is doable

but you shouldnt play classes with double weaving

[lime geode]

gotcha

[silver ruin]

for savage you just have to move asap

instead of last second

or you will get hit

[patent citrus]

i'm playing with 140 ms ^.^ double weaving just fine

not sure for people playing above that

[pearl perch]

does doing all role quest change the msq a little bit?

[wintry chasm]

Yes

[gritty oracle]

Yeah I've cleared E5-7 with 170

[marble drift]

I cleared E5 to 8 with 130.

[silver ruin]

my bf did ultimates at like 145 or something with no vpn

so its definitely doable

[pearl perch]

so it's worth going with all 4 I presume :D

[wintry chasm]

Doing all the role quests unlocks one final role quest chain that's pretty loreful and also gives you an extra NPC dialogue choice in the patch story (which is totally the canon choice don't @ me)

[marble drift]

Tell ya what though. Shiva cleaves were a bit fucked 😐

[pearl perch]

in the patch story but not the main one?

anything 5.1+ but 5.0 just do the one?

[thorn totem]

Patch story is basically the main story imo

[silver ruin]

it actually is lol

not just your opinion ryuu lmao

patch quests basically wrap up the expansion and set up the next one

[twilit arch]

doing the role quests gives a bit of an easter egg in the patch quests

[marble drift]

yeah the MSQ stretches continously from level 1 to 5.4 at level 80

[twilit arch]

But doesn't change the msq significantly at all

[pearl perch]

I already have an 80PLD, 70 SCH&SMN so I can already do 3, was just thinking if it's worth going the xtra mile and push my MCH to the 80 point

[patent citrus]

just some backstories 😂

[pearl perch]

just started ShB like yesterday and unlocked them xD

[twilit arch]

you can also always go back and do it again with ng+ after you've done them

[patent citrus]

hmm you can choose RDM/SAM

[twilit arch]

don't need to do it right this second

[patent citrus]

they both lv 50, but if you like machinist why not ^.^

[pearl perch]

like MCH, for some reason I just dont wanna do SAM

[thorn totem]

Push BLU to 60

[pearl perch]

no way josie

[thorn totem]

Its really fun

[patent citrus]

BLU doesn't have role quest

[thorn totem]

Thats the point

It cant do anything

But they get more xp in open world

Great, am I right?

[twilit arch]

please keep help ontopic

[upper temple]

rdm is red mage?

[twilit arch]

yes, rdm is red mage

[thorn totem]

Oh shoot wrong topic my bad xD

[patent citrus]

😂 that's random.. out of nowhere

[thorn totem]

Red mage is good overall, it seems underrated tho imo

[lone zephyr]

What does "Lootmaster" mean on partyfinder?

[hasty musk]

it means the leader chooses who gets what

never join those

[lone zephyr]

Wha

Why

[thorn totem]

Those are horrible LOL

[patent citrus]

a trap o_o

[marble drift]

statics can use lootmaster

[lone zephyr]

Why...?

[marble drift]

pugs shouldn't

[thorn totem]

Favoritismmm

[marble drift]

yes

actually

[lone zephyr]

Oh

[thorn totem]

Lmao

[marble drift]

because in statics

gear your dps

[silver ruin]

yea dont join any party finders that say loot master, chances are you wont get anything

[marble drift]

so you meet dps requirements for the next fight

but in pugs. lootmaster is a trap

[thorn totem]

🤣

[patent citrus]

why would a static even need a lootmaster?

that's the question

[twilit arch]

because they want to gear specific people first to make reclears easier

[marble drift]

my offtank constantly forgets his BiS

[thorn totem]

^

[patent citrus]

ahhhhh right

[little swift]

Because their members are too stupid to roll for the things they're told to roll for

[marble drift]

literally last week he rolled on something he wasn't even going to use

so we have a loot table setup through a google doc

[little swift]

That too

[patent citrus]

that's nice 😂

[thorn totem]

Lmao great

[little swift]

We've had issues with people rolling for unneeded stuff as well

[marble drift]

but again. lootmaster for statics

its a trap for pugs.

[little swift]

Lootmastwr solved it and works well for statics

[patent citrus]

who usually requirest to get the gear first to help reclear? the tank? 🤔

[lone zephyr]

So I should never trust Lootmaster unless I'm the lead lol?

[hasty musk]

DPS usually

at least from what I've seen

[patent citrus]

I usee, so like easier dps check

[marble drift]

yeh. dps usually get it first

for the first floor you can still just wing is. first of 4 floors is generally easy

[patent citrus]

I guess mitigation can be solved with just swapping tanks and get more shield healers ^.^

[little swift]

Dps usually get first but it doesn't matter too much if you're not struggling

[hasty musk]

Basically, but tbh I can't think of a scenario where lootmaster is really necessary

[marble drift]

this tier no exception.

for the more impactful pieces, dps first

[lone zephyr]

Basically, but tbh I can't think of a scenario where lootmaster is really necessary
Doing mounts in join order maybe?

[marble drift]

Shield healers are not the answer

[thorn totem]

Ye its usually dps and then depends from there

[hasty musk]

yeah but why would you do that

why not just let people roll

[twilit arch]

join order is also honestly a trap

because most of those its the pf leader get it first and then dipping

[oak ice]

Or his friends

[thorn totem]

Yea

Thats true

[lone zephyr]

Wha I think join order is fair, I've seen a lot of people randomly join, drop, get it and then dipping out

[hasty musk]

that's their right imo

[marble drift]

right and thats what lootmaster join order is

just more dickish

[patent citrus]

oo what happened if the dmg just too much and it kills everyone instantly

[thorn totem]

🤣

[oak ice]

Lootmaster in PF means "farm for me and my friends"

[patent citrus]

or that scenario can't happen?

[lone zephyr]

I mean I have no friends so priority to me is unexistant xD

[marble drift]

use party mitigation

[thorn totem]

Favoritism is Lootmaster

[patent citrus]

that's what i mean, if the party mitigation isn't enough

[marble drift]

not a thing

[thorn totem]

No other way to put it really

[hasty musk]

if you can't mitigate something that's meant to be mitigated you shouldn't be doing savage

you have bigger problems

[lone zephyr]

Not really if you actually do it in join order IMO, also what's the use of the Greed only thing?

[twilit arch]

means everyone can only roll greed

[hasty musk]

so everyone has an equal chance

[twilit arch]

join order is hardly fair, especially if people constantly leave

or the group breaks which is usualyl the case after one person leaves

[oak ice]

No needing if your weapon drops

[hasty musk]

^ what's to stop the person who showed up first from leaving immediately after

[patent citrus]

ah ok, from all the e12s video clear i saw, they ran AST and SCH

[thorn totem]

Greed equal chance

[patent citrus]

so I thought shield mitigation is a thing

[thorn totem]

Need=high chance over others

[patent citrus]

cause AST can also neut sect

my guess was wrong 😂

[marble drift]

just because prog pushers use it, doesn't make it law

[oak ice]

Shields are good during prog

[marble drift]

if it 'required' shields. then that would be SE forcing a class.

[thorn totem]

Really? Ast ok, sch tho?

[marble drift]

which is not what they want

[patent citrus]

yeah np ^.^

[marble drift]

look to prove a point. My static cleared E5 to 9 with double regen

Astro/White Mage

[thorn totem]

Whm imo is better than sch for raids

[hearty rover]

is it worth it to penta meld the aesthete crafter set? like are they going to make another crafter set next patch or this is it till 6.0?

[twilit arch]

aesthete is gonna be BiS until next expac

that said going full force pentamelding really depends on what you intend to do

if you just wanna make life easier on yourself for 6.0 then light melds are ok

but if you wanna craft exarchic, you should pentameld

[leaden ginkgo]

I won loot in dungeon, got out- logged out to change connection and it's gone ?

[hearty rover]

thank you

[gritty oracle]

Exarchic can be done with only 1-2 overmelded gear with the right macro and CMS tea

I did it with pretty low stats

[marble drift]

are you sure? loot doesn't vanish. if your bags were both full you didn't get it, but if they wern't then its there somewhere

[gritty oracle]

Have you checked your inventory?

[patent citrus]

if it's equipment probably gone straight into your armory 🤔

depends on the settings you use

armoury*

[leaden ginkgo]

I was pretty smug It dropped the first time around cause its the alliance coat of fending, and I remember it appearing to the side of my screen when you get something

and yeah I checked everywhere

[gritty oracle]

Have you isearched it?

[leaden ginkgo]

yes, no coat

i even logged out for the peace in mind reason that i wanted to glam in peace

[gritty oracle]

Try looking at your chat logs for proof of having received it, and write support.

[leaden ginkgo]

without DC etc

that's the problem, I logged out like a min after the dungeon

[marble drift]

well I mean.if you didn't get it. Go back in

[gritty oracle]

Iirc you can dig up chat logs from some file or another

So you can access earlier logs

[leaden ginkgo]

I'll look that up thank you

[gritty oracle]

I think support can see whether you got it or not without the proof, but it'll help

[leaden ginkgo]

just to double check I file this under "report a bug" right?

[gritty oracle]

Yeah, I think

[patent citrus]

yeah, you can just assume it's a bug even without a proof 🤔

[leaden ginkgo]

ty @gritty oracle

[frank wigeon]

hey is penta melded exarch gear better than eden e9s-e12s gear?

[twilit arch]

no

[marble drift]

I was about to say that healers still use crafted ring in their BiS lists but they replace the cryptlurker ring instead of the edenmorn one.

[frank wigeon]

i understand, thank you!

[lone zephyr]

which effect is halved

the % or the maximum?

or both?

[fresh lodge]

The %

[lone zephyr]

k thanks

[weary marten]

what do i suppose to as a new player? do i just play the story mission?

or is there some kind of specific things i need to do?

[hasty musk]

play the story quest, do your job quests

[warm lily]

Im doing MIN 70-80 but my collectors glove can tbe found? The dude i Foundation has no quest for me either?

Have I missed something?

[hasty musk]

that's how you unlock 90% of the stuff in the game

[weary marten]

i do this until im 60?

[hasty musk]

are you a free trial player

[twilit arch]

collector's glove is no longer a thing

any items that are intended to be collected as a collectable are now done so automatically when you gather them

[warm lily]

Oh nice ty

[twilit arch]

as such the items turned into the house of splendors have also been updated and are specifically for house of splendor turn ins

so any previous items that were considered collectables, are no longer such

can see the new collectables int he special section of the gathering log

[weary marten]

currently, yes

[hasty musk]

then yes, you do your story quests, job quests and generally any you see to unlock stuff

[weary marten]

should i buy the game after i reached 60 or just buy it now?

[hasty musk]

if you want to maximize free trial time, wait until you hit 60

although keep in mind you'll probably hit 60 way before you actually hit the end of the free trial

[weary marten]

does the free trial limits my pregression in some kind of way?

[weary marten]

i thought there is no time limit for the free trial

[hasty musk]

there isn't

but you can only progress up to a certain point due to not being able to go past 60

you also don't own the game, meaning you don't own the expansions, which means you can't access any areas past the end of first expansion

the free trial also limits a lot of social functions

[green plover]

I'm doing the same

[kind eagle]

Do people even use this

[hasty musk]

yes

[green plover]

[kind eagle]

to waste ogcd?

[green plover]

Lol

[weary marten]

okay, understood, and also i dont understand with the job or class system, i currently has only like 10 spells to use, is there any certain point that my job will be "upgraded" into somethin new?

[hasty musk]

it reduces strength and dex, so you use it to reduce physical damage

what specifically you use it for I wouldn't know, but it's not like it doesn't do anything

[twilit arch]

feint is not a waste of ogcd, you use it when you know a physical attack is coming

to help reduce how much dmg it'll do

same with addle, you use it when a magic attack is coming to help reduce its dmg

[hasty musk]

at level 30 your job quest gives a job stone, which will give you access to the rest of the stuff your job will give you as you level up

[kind eagle]

i just happily attacking and absorb dmg

without reducing it

[hasty musk]

you basically have no reason to take the job stone off after you get it

[weary marten]

is it possible for me to unlock a mount before buying the game?

[thick summit]

i've been hearing the term "wall" used when referring to pulls in dungeons. "groups per wall" or "wall to wall" does this just mean how many groups between bosses?

[hasty musk]

the story quest gives you a mount around level 20

and a few more throughout

[pure bough]

Lets say I'm playing with a single friend who is classing as a Pugilist. What class could I choose that would work well together with him?

[twilit arch]

wall to wall generally means pulling all of the mobs until the dungeon forces you to stop

[weary marten]

owuh, im exactly at 20 right now, is there anything specific i need to do?

[twilit arch]

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[twilit arch]

while you can buy mounts from the store, you won't be able to use them until you get your chocobu

as unlock mounts as function is tied to it

[weary marten]

okay, thanks for the help

open your currency page

[merry umbra]

I just learned there is a currency page x)

[hasty musk]

The More You Know ™️

[merry umbra]

so I guess I just continue the msq to earn seals?

[hasty musk]

you can also turn in green or blue gear to your GC for seals

or do FATEs or whatever

[twilit arch]

the msq after the quest "The company that you keep" gives you the seals needed to buy the issuance

[merry umbra]

I have not sold any gear since I started but not sure I have any green or blue

my entire knowledge of gear

is pressing the "equip recommended"

[weary marten]

me too, do i supposed to sell those?

[marble drift]

thats fine. that'll set you right through leveling

[weary marten]

i dont even know where

[merry umbra]

me neither 😄

glad I am not alone

what accent is minfillia supposed to have

[hasty musk]

vaguely british

[merry umbra]

I was worried that was the case

[hasty musk]

I mean that's most characters in this game, because medieval fantasy

[shrewd owl]

Almost everyone in the game has some kind of british accent

Ye

[merry umbra]

I would say hers is definitely not british though >.<

[hasty musk]

are you in ARR still

[shrewd owl]

Oh jeez I can’t recall the ARR voices at all

[merry umbra]

just finished joining a grand company

and she sounds like someone pretending badly to be british

reminds me of cheap US tv shows

[hasty musk]

that's because it is

all the ARR voices are americans doing british accents, which changes in HW when they get actual british voice actors

[merry umbra]

I need to push through to that asap then x)

[hasty musk]

don't push too hard and burn yourself out

[static lichen]

Question: When I made my main character on brynhildr I did not obtain a "Road to 70" bonus as it was not on at the time. Could I obtain it if I perhaps moved to a server that offers the buff, or is it only available for newly created characters?

[hasty musk]

you got a long way to go

[green grail]

@static lichen only new characters

[hasty musk]

you'll get more than enough EXP without it

[static lichen]

So there is no way to obtain the buff as a created character?

I know, but I noticed the progress was more significant when starting new classes on a character that had the buff T-T

[pure bough]

Where can I find info on that XP boost, and other only-new-player/character features that I wouldn't know about as a new player?

[green grail]

you can only get the buff by creating a character on a preferred world

already created characters can't get it

[pure bough]

Where can I read about the details?

[hasty musk]

I don't think there is anywhere specifically

but basically it's a 100(?)% boost to EXP that lasts for 90 days for jobs under 70

[nova umbra]

is there anything worth getting with a fishing retainer?

[twilit arch]

there's a few fisher retainer specific minions

but outside of those, not really

[static lichen]

Ah ok, so it's only for 90 days, gotcha ^^

[twilit arch]

well 90 days assured, so that if the server stops being preferred you don't suddenly lose it without warning

if the server remains preferred past 90 days, you'll have it until the server stops being preferred

[nova umbra]

what do i do with this if using it says that I've already obtained it?

[jade quartz]

Trade it in to the Resistance Historian for coins

[nova umbra]

thanks :3

[pure bough]

The open/full server thingie, how does it work? Is it just open/closed for character creation, or will I be prevented from playing on a full server even if I already have a character there?

[twilit arch]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[twilit arch]

if you have a character already made on the server, you can play that character if character creation is currently locked

its just you wont be able to make a character until the restriction lifts

[pure bough]

ty

Lets say I have a 5th level character on a standard server. I want the xp-bonus so I'll make a new character on a preferred one. I choose to log out and prass create new character. Do I choose server after the character is made or do I have to do something to swap server before I make him?

[faint flare]

Leatherworker, alchemist, culinarian...weaver and more

You can if you want...or toss them cause they're just cheap and easy to get back

Especially with retainer help

[foggy slate]

okay cool ty! there isnt any use for these within the GC's right?

e.g how you can transfer gear into company seals or something i heard

[faint flare]

Unless there's something they want crafted for your grand company turn ins

[foggy slate]

copy that tysm

[misty forum]

Is monk hard to play? O:

[gritty oracle]

Not harder than an other job. I haven't played it a lot, from what our static's monk said it's a lot of DDR between your 6 main weaponskills

[faint flare]

The rework has made it easier to play since you dont have to worry about greased lightning maintenance

You just gotta go fast all the time

[misty forum]

Is it a bit similar to ninja?

[faint flare]

Monk is faster than ninja at max level

Greased lightning at max is a 20% speed bufd

You can get down to like a 2s gcd

[gritty oracle]

Iirc bis is 1.98 atm

[jade lava]

does fisher use the same gear as miner/botanist?

[twilit arch]

yes

[jade lava]

cool ty

[ripe meteor]

where can you turn in the heavensturn items ?

im looking at the recompense NPC here but it has no items listed

[robust notch]

heavensturn?

[ripe meteor]

ya

[robust notch]

Oooh hmm

[ripe meteor]

for these

[robust notch]

Oh, new event thing, right

Sorry didn't do that yet :S

[dense sigil]

where is the seasonal shop for this event if there even is one?

[twilit arch]

the ushi shonin

[dense sigil]

ahh didnt see him there

alright thanks

[ripe meteor]

where is it?

[twilit arch]

at the aftcastle, near the quest giver

[ripe meteor]

oh its the girl

i thought it would be a cow

[misty forum]

2s gcd? Isn't that kinda slow? O:
I might sound a bit oblivious, but I come from wow, and it's 1/1.5s gcd iirc

[ripe meteor]

yeah not happening here lmao

its not as slow as people think tho since your constantly weaving in skills and moving around all the time

[misty forum]

I was thinking about that

since with monk I have to move a lot

I guess 2s isn't that bad, right?

[ripe meteor]

monk prolly has the most APM

well monk shortens it further iirc

[misty forum]

damn

I thought it was ninja who had the most APM

[twilit arch]

you really don't have to move that much

[ripe meteor]

it depends on th e fight and job

[twilit arch]

!faq positional

[zinc orbit]

Visual Example of Positionals

[twilit arch]

you should ideally be keeping yourself in that corner between flank and rear to reduce your movement

[ripe meteor]

monk just got buffed again 2 there crazy rn so stick with it if u like it

[misty forum]

Haha nice

Oh about the positioning

When do the game register your position when you use an ability?

When you press the button

or when you ability hits?

[twilit arch]

when you press the button

[misty forum]

So if your target turns between the moment you press the button and when the attack hits, it will register the right positioning?

[onyx kiln]

how many bitter memories would i need in total to get all the recollection weapons?

[open coral]

(10x3)x19(?).

I think there are 19 jobs (weapons), so yeah. (10x3) x 19.

190 of each type of bitter memory.

Sorry, 180 of each. There's only 18 jobs.

[twilit arch]

you need 6 bitter memories for 1 weapon

[gritty oracle]

Don't you need 20 per type per Weapon?

[open coral]

Oh wait, is it 20?

If it's 20, then double that number.

[gritty oracle]

Wait no. 20 regular, 6 bitter

[twilit arch]

if he's doing bitter

he needs 6

[small marsh]

For DRG rotations I see a lot of people put the next skill crit buff before full thrust

[open coral]

Oh

[small marsh]

Does it not work with fang and claw

[open coral]

I thought bitter were the regular ones.

[small marsh]

New to DRG

[twilit arch]

harrowing/sorrowful/tortured are the ones that require 20 of each

[gritty oracle]

Yes. It's your highest potency weaponskill. No matter what always use life surge on full thrust.

[open coral]

Right.

Then it's just 18 x 6

[gritty oracle]

Fang and claw is lower potency

[small marsh]

Icic

[open coral]

Much easier math

[small marsh]

I don’t have the game open right now I must be misremembering

[open coral]

108 (significant number)

[twilit arch]

!action fang and claw

[zinc orbit]

**Fang and Claw** : lvl 56 DRG (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 330.
370 when executed from a target's flank.
Can only be executed while under the effects of Sharper Fang and Claw and either Blood of the Dragon or Life of the Dragon .
Additional Effect: Extends Blood of the Dragon duration by 10s to a maximum of 30s

Powered by XIVAPI

[small marsh]

I always thought fang and claw was higher

Lol

[twilit arch]

!action full thrust

[zinc orbit]

**Full Thrust** : lvl 26 LNC DRG (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Combo Action: Vorpal Thrust
Combo Potency: 530
Combo Bonus: Grants Sharper Fang and Claw if under the effect of

Powered by XIVAPI

[twilit arch]

370 vs 530

[gritty oracle]

It's kind of weird that the highest potency is in the middle of your rotation, not at the end

[small marsh]

Are these hits only worth usinf because of blood of the dragon extension

Seems like if that wasn’t tacked on

It wouldn’t be worth it

[gritty oracle]

And because of raiden thrust

[small marsh]

Icic

[gritty oracle]

But using FaC and later Wheeling Thrst is essential to keeping up blood

[small marsh]

my DRG is lv38 kek

[gritty oracle]

Lol

[small marsh]

There are so many ogcds to use

I sort of lose track of them :>

[gritty oracle]

From level 60, if your blood of the dragon is falling off, you're doing something wrong
Between 56 and 60 it's weird that you can't consistently keep it up because you can't chain wheeling and FaC

[opal silo]

Is common wisdom to still ignore most brown sidequests? Coming from other MMOs, I'm trained to clear every map icon so hearing about this threw me for a loop.

[twilit arch]

for first time thru, generally yes

[gritty oracle]

Yes. Sidequests only grant little bits of lore, sometimes emotes

[small marsh]

I think it ultimately doesn’t matter and you can do them whenever you want lol

[twilit arch]

are mostly there for lore

they're ok exp

but you should focus on the main scenario quest and

[small marsh]

Even on alt jobs they’re not very good exp

[opal silo]

Okay, excellent. I think I can train myself to hold off on them until another job

maybe. My OCD might yell

[gritty oracle]

The sidequests I recommend doing is the harvest dance one in Gridania, the throw one in Coerthas, and the Scholasticate questline

[open coral]

You'll quickly learn to focus obsessive clearing tendencies to only. Otherwise you'll get overwhelmed (and your inventory will fill with trash gear)

[gritty oracle]

The first two give you emotes, and the third is good story and gives a really cool coat

[opal silo]

Perfect, will keep those in mind for when I get to them

[gritty oracle]

Also there's allegedly two sidequests that give Thav onions

[open coral]

There's also a dance emote (ballroom dance) in Ul'dah

[gritty oracle]

Oooh really? I gotta pick it up

[open coral]

Yeah, in that central arcade just east of the adventurer's guild where seasonal events usually are.

[gritty oracle]

Nice

[twilit arch]

all three of the starting cities have an emote dance

[opal silo]

I wonder how many ex-WoW/ESO players ragequit without realize sidequests in FF are optional. They almost need a disclaimer at the front of the game

[open coral]

I think Limsa's dance is the only one I've never done.

As an ex-WoW player... well, I've been playing XIV for 5 years now. I realized pretty quickly that there wasn't much point to doing sidequests.

[opal silo]

fair enough!

[crimson trench]

Hey guys, Ive taken a break from the game since about September and ive forgotten what to really do regards to gearing, Whats the best way to get gear at the moment im currently gear level 472

[gritty oracle]

What's Limsa's dance?

[gritty oracle]

Do your 500 relic, should bump you to 480 and iiiirc that's enough to enter Eden's Promise

[open coral]

For casual content, unlocking the current Eden raid tier, and also farming tomestones.

[gritty oracle]

You can also buy or make crafted gear

[twilit arch]

step dance is the limsa one

[gritty oracle]

Oh nice

[fallen niche]

Nah, you need 485 for eden's promise iirc.

[warm snow]

If I wanted to start doing hunts what's the discord

[twilit arch]

centurio hunts is probably the most well known, link is in #resources

might also be one specifically for chaos in there too

[gritty oracle]

https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv

[onyx kiln]

can you not watch cutscenes of the role questlines untill you have finished up the whole questline?

[twilit arch]

hm, well not all of the quests have cutscene for the unending journey

but you should be able to rewatch them when you finish the quest that does

[worn saddle]

how long does it take to register a credit card to mogstation account

[shut sigil]

Question about the Chrystarium Deliveries. Can I (like with custom deliveries) craft the items with a different class than I will turn the items in? For example can I craft the Items with my Lv 80 Armorer but turn them in and get the experience with my Lv 72 Blacksmith?

[twilit arch]

yes

but keep in mind that the blacksmith has to be the same level as the turn in or higher

so can't make the 75 turn ins, and hope to turn them in without also being atleast 75

[worn saddle]

it's been literal years 2 hours and they made me pay 1 euro

the treasury cannot bear the expense

[shut sigil]

@twilit arch I see thank you

[green plover]

does anyone know wheres the bard performance npc in gridania?

[twilit arch]

he's near the amphitheater

[agile laurel]

he's called Simpkin

i remember this because it's quite hard to forget

[fresh isle]

Hello, so i started gathering jobs and I wanna know if the number of material increase as I level up
right now I get just one item per swing and deposit can take just 4 of those

[wispy parcel]

No they dont

Specific gathering nodes might give you a larger yield

But your stats dont factor into that

[fresh isle]

:/
so I will have to run around all the time to get the basic material
or buy it

[gritty oracle]

It's always going to be 4. Sometimes if you hit certain stat breakpoints, you'll get an effect on certain nodes that increase yield or gathering attempts. You will also get skills that grant you additional gathering attempts

[fresh isle]

what I meant is mainly if I always get just 4 pieces of ore
or if later deposits give more of the basic ores like tin or copper

[modest igloo]

in some of the later areas different nodes can have special things happen to them, like if you're overgeared sometimes you can get 2 a swing

but the most consistent method is more GP for more skills for more stuff

[dreamy warren]

Without spoiling anything, does the game ever explain what's up with Cylvia in The First?

[fresh isle]

so skills will give more ores?
right now i can just search or increase drop chance

[modest igloo]

there's a skill that for 300 gp will give you another chance in any node, and there's other skills that, if done correctly, will also give you more ores

king's yield for MIN

[kind eagle]

Where to get the pig mount

[modest igloo]

pixie beast tribe quests

[kind eagle]

no no

u know matoya relic

the pig

[fresh isle]

thanks

[modest igloo]

not sure if thats a mount yet then

[kind eagle]

i saw someone riding a pig

[open coral]

The porxie mount that looks like the final boss in Matoya's Relict (but without the cape) is the reputation mount obtainable from the Pixie beast tribe

[kind eagle]

oh

[echo solar]

has the christmas quest event ended?

[twilit arch]

yes

[violet urchin]

Can someone help me? I bought this game back in 2019 on my ps4. But don’t have my ps4 anymore. It broke. But I bought it with my newly build pc, on steam. And I need help cause I can’t log in even though I changed my password and one time pass

[jade lava]

why does it say my gear doesn't meet min ilvl requirements when i try to continue potd?

im level 60

[violet meteor]

It's probably referring to your gear in POTD

Your aether gear in POTD is separate from your gear outside of POTD

[jade lava]

what strength does my aether gear need to be to get past floor 10?

[violet meteor]

You can use your second save slot to farm and level up your aether gear

1-10 +0
11-20 +1
21-30 +3
31-40 +6
41-50 +10
51-60 +13
61-70 +16
71-80 +19
81-90 +22
91-100 +25

[leaden ginkgo]

Whats the difference between using a wand or a staff as a black mage?

[gritty oracle]

Use a stagff

[jade lava]

also is all aether gear shared?

[gritty oracle]

Staff

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay but why

[violet meteor]

All aether gear is shared

[jade lava]

ok ty for the help :)

[violet meteor]

Staff is big damage, no reason to have shield as BLM

[leaden ginkgo]

I see

[gritty oracle]

Wands are garbage because black mage has no use of defensive stats

[leaden ginkgo]

Even tho my wand atm is better than staff I got

[violet meteor]

That's fine for now, but later you will be using only staffs

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay cool

[violet meteor]

Pretty sure they don't even make wands at a certain point

Honestly not sure why they don't just remove them.
