it can happen sometimes, that as you're loading in

#

they leave

#

so it appears that you join an empty instance

wheat plume
#

oh, so should I wait until other party members join?

twilit arch
#

i mean, firstly make sure you're actually queued for people to join

#

but its up to you. easy roulette complete atleast

wheat plume
#

haha, thanks, done

#

is there a chance to defeat the boss only me? dps.

twilit arch
#

probably not

wheat plume
#

because its wait 15 mins for vote abandon, or get out now and get 30 mins penalty

#

oh, one of the party members that just came, was the one who left the same place

#

hahaha

crystal bluff
#

Is there a way to make it so cutscenes youve seen before (in dungeons for example) just dont play at all

elfin edge
#

yeah I think it's in the character settings somewhere

twilit arch
elfin edge
#

when it's on the screen will fade to black and back instead of playing cutscene

crystal bluff
#

thx

raw granite
#

I've seen charts placing dragoons as the worst melee dps, is it accurate? And if it is, do they have a trade-off, like the rez tax for red mage ?

cold steppe
#

does the time also matter for the things for gathering? Or is it just getting lucky on specyfic node?

twilit arch
#

certain nodes require you to be in the area at a specific time (eorzea time not real world time)

muted sierra
cold steppe
#

is that information somewhere in game or do i have to goggle this? mooglethink

twilit arch
#

for instance Tungstite's node only appears between 2am/pm and 4am/pm

nova umbra
#

can I still augment my old ironworks gear?

faint flare
#

If you have the augment items

#

Otherwise no

muted sierra
twilit arch
#

most of the information can be found in the gathering journal

cold steppe
#

Gathering log you mean?

twilit arch
#

log yes, sorry

cold steppe
#

gochu, thanks, it doesnt say anything about time so i assume i just gotta keep at it

twilit arch
#

can also use a site like garlandtool's to know the exact times

Hello, I have trouble choosing between 2 necklaces for my ninja. The Edenmete Necklace is giving Critical Hit +216 and Direct Hit Rate +151 and the Cryptlurker's Choker of Aiming is giving Critical Hit +221 and Skill Speed +155. Should I go for more Crit or balance the stats ?

cold steppe
#

oh great, i'll check it out, thanks!

ninja doesn't really want sks

#

what's a good way to farm GC seals before reaching sergeant second class

agile laurel
#

erm, when do you unlock deliveries?

twilit arch
#

hunting log, fates if you're willing, daily roulette (AiN bonus if you can grab it)

gleaming mist
twilit arch
#

turning in old dungeon gear once you hit sergeant second class

agile laurel
#

aha

twilit arch
#

can also get a quick like 2k~ or so from doing the pvp and frontline unlock quests iirc

raw granite
#

I got to sergeant 3 by just doing deliveries

scarlet arrow
agile laurel
#

yeah, the balancing is so tight as to not matter for 99.9% of players

raw granite
#

Which is very cool

agile laurel
#

ranged physical has an odd spot sometimes because you could evaluate mch or brd's rdps value against dnc

#

but that's an odd case rly

scarlet arrow
#

jobs being "unplayable" for a given content type is a mentality for other MMORPGs, not here 🙂

agile laurel
#

and one i wouldn't be surprised to see alleviated in 6.0

raw granite
#

Hell yeah

#

If there's any mmo that could afford to have unplayable jobs it would be this one with how flexible and easy it is to change classes...

#

I wish blue mage was an actual complete job though

scarlet arrow
#

because there's only one correct way to play each job it's much easier to balance them against each other

raw granite
#

Bit of a shame but eh, whatever works.

agile laurel
#

this is true. because FFXIV jobs do have a perfect rotation, and also flat zero customisability, they're a lot more of an objective slate to balance than other MMOs

If I was playing on PC but and had just payed my sub but I but the complete edition on PS4 and linked it to my account, did I get the 30 free days?

#

Or is that only for new people

twilit arch
#

yes you'll get another 30 days

leaden ginkgo
#

Wait are you sure ? Is there anyway I can check that ?

#

And does that mean that when my paid sub ends, I’ll get the 30 free days ?

open ember
#

Can confirm myself

#

I did it

#

Gave me extra 30 days

leaden ginkgo
#

After your current paid sub at the time ended ?

open ember
#

I don't remember if it was after or before tbh

languid wharf
#

Yeah they won’t let me renew my sub on ps4 they’re telling me I haven’t bought the game

#

When I have complete edition already

open ember
#

This was a year ago but I was given 30 additional days

#

I believe it was counted after my sub ended???

twilit arch
#

usually free time is used up first

open ember
#

Anytime you buy a complete edition even as a license it'll give you 30 days free

twilit arch
#

well

#

if you apply it for a platform you don't already own it on

open ember
#

Ye

leaden ginkgo
#

Doesn’t matter I was mid paid sub when i bought complete edition ?

#

Yeah, I linked it to my normal mogstation account

#

Where I had my paid sub

#

Found this online

#

“If you already have ARR & Havensward and then add on the Complete Edition then you will not get another 30 days free subscription.

From the product description:
Includes a 30-day free play period. This can only be applied once to each platform on a single service account. This 30-day free play period is not applicable to platforms on which a licence has already been registered.

Basically the 30 days "free" period is for new licences only - so if you say have a PC licence and then get the PS4 version you will get 30 days added as you are adding a new licence.”

#

So, if I understood right, since I registered my ARR/Heaven license from Steam, I don’t get the 30 days of complete edition

twilit arch
#

you will tho

#

because you're adding a ps4 license

#

Basically the 30 days "free" period is for new licences only - so if you say have a PC licence and then get the PS4 version you will get 30 days added as you are adding a new licence.

open ember
#

You're basically buying the game again

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there anywhere I can check how many days of sub I have left in total ?

rigid narwhal
#

pops up on the bottom right of the screen at character select (when you login in game)

twilit arch
#

assuming you don't have a recurring sub

leaden ginkgo
#

Not sure if that’s what you’re asking lol

twilit arch
#

if it says "Recurring" then it won't indicate how many days are left

languid wharf
#

YeH I’m not tryna get free time I paid my sub but they’re telling me i have trial account

twilit arch
#

because it just auto renews

#

if you aren't recurring, then it'll indicate how many days are left

leaden ginkgo
#

Oop

languid wharf
#

How do you get to that page

neon trellis
#

So, this seems like something I should have realized 60 levels ago, but I guess DPS efficiency isn't as big a deal yet in the content I've done to date. Is weaving only possible with instant cast skills?

languid wharf

!faq weaving

zinc orbitBOT

Quick guide to weaving/clipping

Click the image, then 'Open original'

neon trellis
#

Perfect, thanks.

#

And do people tend to spam for recasts? Or time it within a half second or whenever the button press carries over?

languid wharf
#

Help I just wanna play the game I paid for

balmy lotus
#

u should have a code to upgrade ur account i think

hot eagle
#

all I can see is that you have a free trial, also if u did buy it from psn the game should ask you at the next login on which mogstation account it should be bound

languid wharf
#

I litterally only have that one account I even have receipts for the sub

#

Where can I find the code

balmy lotus
#

did u buy on steam or square enix lol

languid wharf
#

No on psn

hot eagle
#

you don't get a code from sony/psn you need to close the game and restart it while logging it should bind the cdkey to your mogstation account

balmy lotus
#

oh then iunno 🤫

languid wharf
#

PlayStation store it’s so weird I was playing earlier this year

#

Then I redownloded logged in to pay sub

#

And it says I’m on a free trial account

#

When I click the link to buy it .. it doesn’t even load because I have it already

leaden ginkgo
#

what are the abilities that people put away from the hotbar/find it useless for summoner or is there none?

finite topaz
#

Hi

#

Im new but i wanna eventually do the hard raids

#

How big of a jump/commitment is it?

rigid narwhal
#

i'd watch a video of someone playing your job that you main in one of them

#

to get a feeling for what it's like

twilit arch
#

physick is basically the only skill you can realistically toss @leaden ginkgo all others have some use/good to keep on your hotbar

upper summit
#

Hello. I'm thinking on returning after 3 years away. It's normal that the mogstation shows that I don't have any character on my inactive account? Is my main and only character deleted?

Edit: No problem. After subscription, download and login, I have my character back on Mogstation logs. ^^

twilit arch
#

SE doesn't delete characters

blazing sage
#

Can someone help me? I’m back after like 5 years so I don’t remember anything

#

I have two characters in two different servers and I can’t remember which is my main

languid wharf
#

So what are my options

blazing sage
#

Is there a way to check progress

languid wharf
#

Email them ask them for the ps4 code

#

?

upper summit
robust crow
twilit arch
#

are you certain you're logging into the correct ps4 account because ps4 doesn't require a code unless you bought a physical copy

blazing sage
#

Red mags is 53. Is that good?

robust crow
#

red mage starts at 50

twilit arch
#

and only one ps4 account can be tied to a mogstation account, so if the account you're logging into shows you're still trial and you know you've bought on ps4 then either you're logging onto the wrong account on mogstation or the ps4 account

blazing sage
#

If I don’t remember anything, but don’t want to start over with a new character, what’s my best route?

#

New class? Start the new dlc?

twilit arch
#

well, unless you're super sure you wanna start over i would just go with the 53 rdm

lavish vortex
#

Is there some benefit/reward for doing potd 51-200 floors?

twilit arch
#

because you can't just hop straight into shadowbringers, the main scenario quest is linear

#

so you'd have to repeat a realm reborn (Though its been reworked so its not quite as bad as before) up until where ever your character is now

blazing sage
#

I beat the main story

twilit arch
#

oh well i misread

blazing sage
#

And the first dlc

jovial tide
#

Am I responsible for rolling on loot as the tank?

blazing sage
#

So I have to beat the story for the red mage dlc?

twilit arch
#

but like i would personally just recommend sitting down and reading over your tooltips

#

adjust your UI to make it comfortable for you

jovial tide
#

I normally just pull and keep pulling

#

Roll at the very end

finite topaz
#

Are the alliance raids hard?

twilit arch
#

and then work on progressing the main scenario quest

crystal bluff
#

no

twilit arch
#

@finite topaz no, they're intended to be casual content

jovial tide
#

But some WHM complained about me not rolling mid-pull

crystal bluff
#

ignore them

finite topaz
#

So if i wanted to beat each of the Raids normal difficulty itd be feasible without getting really sweaty?

twilit arch
#

yes

jovial tide
#

I don't even know what's so precious about qitana ravel gear to begin with

twilit arch
#

could be an upgrade for them

jovial tide
#

Nothing to really get upset rolling over

twilit arch
#

it'd be nice to be able to equip it asap

blazing sage
#

What’s the most casual/easy class?

twilit arch
#

but realistically not worth being upset over

finite topaz
#

Im gonna avoid the ex stuff since i aint got time to research plus id probably tilt some people for being bad

blazing sage
#

I kind of want to start over for a class

crystal bluff
#

rdm is pretty easy

twilit arch
#

red mage is actually pretty easy and straight forward

#

and you only got 3 levels on it (it starts at 50)

blazing sage
#

I gotta look up the rotation

halcyon glen

Dancer is also fairly braindead for opposite reasons

do i gotta do the whole questline to get the replica gae bolg for glamour purposes

halcyon glen
#

yes

cold crescent
#

r u shitting me

twilit arch
#

yes, you have to finish zeta before you can buy ARR relic replicas

cold crescent
#

like all the way up the zodiac stuff?

twilit arch
#

yes

halcyon glen
#

yes

cold crescent
#

that is absurd

jovial tide
#

Quick question for PLD mains, if you see someone in urgent need of a tether i.e. running away with a stack marker and you want to tether them asap, what is your process?

halcyon glen
#

Welcome to ARR relics

#

they suck

jovial tide
#

Quick question for PLD mains, if you see someone in urgent need of a tether i.e. running away with a stack marker and you want to tether them asap, what is your process?

twilit arch
#

replicas didn't originally exist

jovial tide
#

Do you click them, press f1/2/3/4 and memorize the party list and everyone's names at the start, or 'target nearest party member'?

twilit arch
#

so the ARR relics don't have the appropriate checkpoints that expansion replicas do

cold crescent
#

guess i'll have stuff to do after i finish up shadowbringers huh

jovial tide
#

So far I've just been clicking but that feels unreliable

halcyon glen
#

While I'm not a paladin main, I've set up Cover as a macro next to my party list!

cold crescent
#

macros help

#

i just use like

jovial tide
#

Boss hitboxes are so weird sometimes

cold crescent
#

target nearest party member for my dragon sight on dragoon

#

and try to stand next to a dps

#

makes shit way faster

jovial tide
#

What would be a macro for covering the nearest member?

halcyon glen
#

I actually use 7 macros - just a simple /ac "Cover" <3> for each party member

cold crescent
#

/targetpc i believe

halcyon glen
#

and then place it next to their name in the party list

cold crescent
#

here just a sec

#

you dont gotta use the emote of course lol

Where do I travel to to change classes? I forgot

cold crescent

Hi can somebody help me to complete sastasha quest

Im lvl 23

do people actually do frontline roulette

Yes

#

But its 3pm est rn

crystal bluff
#

true

little swift
#

Try during prime hours

open ember
#

at specific times

#

for aether i found the evenings to be more effective for pvp

finite topaz
#

Is there an order to doing the endgame stuff

#

Like i was planning on doing all the dungeons for arr, then the arr trials then the raid

#

Repeat for the other expansions

open coral
#

There's only a minor "order" to the current endgame content because it has ilevel requirements on it. Old endgame you can get around the ilevel requirements by just having a full set of that tier's poetics gear (or better).

#

Like, you wouldn't be able to get into E9-12 with just the gear you have by the end of the MSQ unless you farmed some out.

#

Other than that, you can do old bluequest content (dungeons, raids, trials) in whatever order you want - although some of it is sequential like the alliance raids and the normal raids, and some of the primals.

#

Where you have to complete one in order to do the next.

finite topaz
#

I see

#

So arr i just blast through any way i want

#

But the rest i do according to ilevel requirements?

#

I usually finish msq first and foremost

scarlet arrow
#

the level 50 dungeons that aren't MSQ-required are also very skippable, aside from Tam-Tara Hard (which feeds into the Palace of the Dead story)

finite topaz
#

Also is there some indication which dungeons ive finished? Am i blind?

scarlet arrow
#

not saying you shouldn't do them if you're a completionist, just that there's very little incentive to do so at this point

uneven reef
#

Did the summoner wyrmweave rotation change? I've seen the ones on akhmorn website and they also use fester, but that doesnt trigger it anymore

finite topaz
#

Yeh i gotchu

faint flare
uneven reef
#

Makes sense, but I never intend to do current hardest difficulty content.. I just kinda wait for the next expansion and just cheese it. 😄

#

Because my reflexes are only good enough to not die at normal

finite topaz
#

Im just gonna do normal mode and call it a day 😂

#

I wanna play other games too lmfao

it does take mechanical skill to play your class well while still dealing with mechanics, but it's more about planning and experience than anything

#

I'll probably get yelled at a lot if i try a3s lmao

robust crow
#

people just unsync the old savages

scarlet arrow
#

i doubt you'll find anyone to yell at you tbh

robust crow
#

a3s is a cake walk unsynced

finite topaz
#

Idk if being yelled at or quiet disappointment is worse

robust crow
#

took my static less than an hour to clear a12s blind

You're just reading too hard into what people aren't thinking

finite topaz
#

Maybe

#

Ffxiv so far isnt as toxic as destiny

#

Yeh but i dont wanna slam bosses ezpz i wanna actually accomplish it

cold steppe
#

Is there any point of doing Eureka based stuff nowadays, since via game explanation it's purely for gear? Or is there also a specyfic story in the place itself?

little swift
#

There is a questline there

#

Helps supplement the first relic

proven sparrow
#

with new ishgard restoration do the mats jump to grade 4?

faint flare
#

Yes

proven sparrow
#

ty

faint flare
#

Use up all your grade 3s

robust crow
cold steppe
#

might consider doing it a bit later then

robust crow
#

there's no reason to go back and start on an old savage if you actually want a challenge

#

it'll be hard enough to even find enough people willing to do it synced

#

and a3s in particular wouldn't reward anything other than glam

#

it's not like the gear you'd get from it is relevant at all

finite topaz
#

Really?

#

So itd be hard to find raids synced or in other words im gonna mostly find people unsynced whod carry?

robust crow
#

if you really want to do alexander synced

#

you're going to have to look for a specialized static

oak ice
#

A3S is like i180

#

Maybe 200

obsidian patio
#

Unless you join a discord or find a linkshells that specializes in old content synced at minimum item level, then pretty much yes

finite topaz
#

Well thats kinda lame i dont wanna just be carried the whole game

robust crow
#

aeblobsweat 350 total members

open ember
#

finding any synced content for raids under lv80 is gonna be incredibly difficult due to the fact most people care more about rewards than the fight

robust crow
#

dude just go start on e9 savage if you want the sense of accomplishment lol

open ember
#

yeah pretty much

#

alexander is incredibly old content

finite topaz
#

What that means

#

E9?

obsidian patio
#

Eden is the current expansion raid

robust crow
#

way easier to just jump in to current tier in a fresh party than to hunt for people to do old content synced

oak ice
#

E9 is the current tier

open ember
#

eden's promise: umbra (savage)

obsidian patio
#

With 9-12 being the current tier

open ember
#

is e9

oak ice
#

A3 is from wayyyyy back in the first expansion

finite topaz
#

Oh

#

So i should get to 80

#

Then do raids?

#

I just wanna max my fun

jovial tide
#

Any way to test a /p macro solo?

robust crow
#

you...shouldn't be looking at any kind of savage before finishing msq

open ember
#

A(x): alexander (HW)
O(x): Omega (SB)
E(x): Eden (SHB)

finite topaz
#

No i know

obsidian patio
#

Replace the /p with /e to have it go into a chat that only you can see

finite topaz
#

Im gonna do msq first

little swift
finite topaz
#

But like eventually i start with e9 otherwise id be carried is what ur saying

robust crow
#

pretty much I guess

scarlet arrow
#

it's certainly worth doing the 8-man and 24-man raids from prior expansions on normal mode, but aside from mount farming there's little reason to do savage content from older expansions

oak ice
#

Any old content will probably be unsynced

finite topaz
#

Thanks guys

#

Very informative

robust crow
#

you'll probably find a decent number of people doing a4, a8, a12 since those reward mounts but they'd be doing it unsynced

oak ice
#

A8 is minion only pepeHands

robust crow
#

you have a snowball's chance in hell to find a full party of people randomly just doing synced alexander savage

#

oh a8 is the one that has no mount riiiight

finite topaz
#

Alexander was just an example

open ember
#

a8 does not

#

only a4 and a12

jovial tide
#

How do you move to a new line in a /p or /e again?

alpine shadow
#

alexander savage is easy to kill unsynced tho

finite topaz
#

I meant normal raids in general

jovial tide
#

Carriage return equivalent

open ember
#

you can do a4s with 3 people: 1 healer and 2 melee dps

oak ice
#

Normal mode raids you can just queue up for with no problem

#

They'll be fast but done at level

robust crow
#

no one is going to do anything savage that isn't e9-12 synced

obsidian patio
robust crow
#

they are going to unsync it if anything

jovial tide
#

Thanks

robust crow
#

if you want to do them synced then that discord link Wynne just linked is your best bet

finite topaz
oak ice
#

It was the S that stands for savage people were worried about lol

finite topaz
#

Ill do the normals and then e9 if i got time before i start school lmao

Yeah sorry i was just trynna fit in using the lingo

So I was saving up my poetics for shire, and just started Heavensward. Apparently I have a little bit to go until it unlocks. (Like level 8 levels worth of quests!). I actually ran out of space for my poetics on my last run. What should I spend them on? I've got a few more slots to get to ilvl 130 on my main, and as a scholar I can get summoner up to 130. Any other priorities beyond that?

obsidian patio
#

In terms of what you can buy from Mor Dhona; not much besides gear, really.

if i join a deep dungeon as say a conjurer, would i be able to become a white mage partway through?

no because you still have to do the quest of getting your WHM job stone

shrewd owl
#

i think it'd work then

jade lava
#

okay ty

open rivet
#

How did people figure out fishing stuff like bait?
was it just trial & error or is there actually some way to tell what bait you should use

open coral
open coral
#

Your best option is to clear floor 50 before leaving to do the class to job quest.

open rivet
#

can always just unequip the jobstone

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

open coral
#

They wanted to be a WHM after returning though.

#

That was the original question.

open rivet
#

oh yeah would need to reset save then

shrewd owl
#

oh
dang
only did PotD to like level 10

open coral
#

I mean, that's not effectively losing progress.

open rivet
#

that's a 20m investment for solo and a 5m for party, so uhh just reset

obsidian patio
open rivet
#

no wonder I hate fishing in this game

raw granite
#

I've never done PotD... Is there a point to go that much out of you way ?

open rivet
raw granite
#

And I guess you get the same kind of stuff from HoH

open rivet
#

no, HoH is different stuff

raw granite
#

What is there to get from HoH ?

robust crow
open rivet
#

different minions, different mounts, different titles, and no further deep dungeon to unlock, ofc

raw granite
#

Yeah so the same kind of stuff

#

Ooooh, a dodo mount 👀

finite topaz
#

Is disciple of hand/land necessary or just for fun

faint flare
#

They're optional and ignorable

robust crow
#

they'll help you gather and craft stuff

#

stuff that could include endgame gear, food, pots, glams

empty jackal
#

Can I change it so that left mouse button hold doesn't change which direction my character moves when I hold W too?

scenic vale
#

hello, any opinions on using ishgard restoration vs collectibles (custom delivery + appraiser npc) for levelling crafting? I don't have a ton of money so I would like to invest in one or the other only; i am low 50s in all my crafts

round ermine
#

Once the new expansion will come out, will I have to buy the complete edition + expac or will the base game + expac suffice?

#

how did it work for shadowbringers?

alpine shadow
#

if you already own starter edition + latest expansion (in today), you need to buy the latest expansion again when it drops (later)

#

if you are still on free trial, you need to get the complete edition for the new expansion.

#

or get starter edition + latest expansion

round ermine
#

so it will cost 60$ if I don't have the game at all

#

roughly

alpine shadow
#

i doubt the new complete edition will have a discount, so yes.

round ermine
#

Ok cheers

alpine shadow
#

and just the expansion will cost 30$?

slate arrow
#

40

#

Starter + expansion usually always totals 60

alpine shadow
#

though, starter edition is usually on sale

#

or even free sometimesd

cold steppe
#

what kind of food people usually buy for the dungeons, trials and so? mooglethink

alpine shadow
#

not anything really

#

but for savage, i get smoked chicken cause that raised my bis stat

#

but that depends on your stat priority, so check balance for what you need

cold steppe
#

yeah i mean stat wise what you're looking at, if food gives your primary stat? mooglethink

alpine shadow
#

it gives like crit, det and vit, like how materia is

obsidian patio
#

Food doesn’t give main stats

#

(Besides vitality)

#

I generally only bother with actual stat food in extreme and unreal trials.

#

Normal-mode content like 24-mans, normal raids/trials, and dungeons don’t need food to do.

#

And if cost is a worry for you, you can always use food from the previous raid tier for cheaper

cold steppe
#

I just mostly wondered what to look at when buying those stuff, when i'd need one lol

obsidian patio
#

Crit/det food is the general go-to for most classes

#

Sometimes a crit/SkS or Det/SkS depending on if your BiS needs Skill Speed to hit a specific GCD

#

same thing with Black Mage and maybe healers for Spell Speed food.

cold steppe
#

I see mooglethink

proven sparrow
#

are hoptrap leaves likely to be the non diadem crafting mat for grade 4 lv 80 still?

obsidian patio
#

Unknown

#

Using the GSM level 80 items as an example, it was Manasilver nuggets for grade 1+2, but changed to Titanbronze Ingot for grade 3.

round ermine
#

Oh btw, when is it likely that the new expansion will be announced? Fanfest in February?

#

How does it work

obsidian patio
#

February is the most likely time

finite topaz
#

Feb is the current rumor

cold steppe
#

i've also noticed potions for str and so last only 30s, you like weave them between skills if possible if you can use them during extremes/savages? mooglethink

obsidian patio
#

As for how it’ll work, unknown since COVID messed everything up

finite topaz
#

Level 100 cap? 🧐

round ermine
#

Ty

obsidian patio
#

We still need to hit level 90 first :p

thorn totem
#

We havent even got to 90 yet xD

olive yarrow
#

Hey guys, I'm a new player and had a quick question. I'm currently level 46, and my next MSQ is Operation Archon, but it's a level 49 quest. What would be the fastest method of gaining those few levels, because I really want to finish the ARR story. Thank you in advance!

thorn totem
#

Do DR

finite topaz
#

Oh they go by tens huh

agile laurel
#

yep. do them if you don't have them yet

thorn totem
#

Daily roulette ez lvl

obsidian patio
#

Complete leveling roulette if you haven’t done it already. If so then spam your highest level dungeon

thorn totem
#

And if u already completed dr

finite topaz
#

Dang i want a clean 100

cold steppe
#

as for materia as well, how do you choose which one you want? you generally want to get balance between specyfic stats like crit / determination? Go full determination or smth?

last cape
finite topaz
#

Maybe 7.0 if they make it

agile laurel
#

you could also go unlock Palace of the Dead and grind levels out that way if you're dps and can't be bothered to wait

thorn totem
#

Then do dungeons

#

Highest lvl dungeon

#

Or ye u can do Potd

round ermine
#

Also unlock the challenge log

agile laurel
#

Basically - you have a few options

obsidian patio
#

Generally melding stats is a “fit this stat until you can’t anymore, then go to the next one in the priority chain”

warm snow
#

You could take 5 and go back to your hunting log

#

At least while queuing

obsidian patio
#

Only Piety, Skill Speed, and Spell Speed are stats you generally stop at a specific point

cold steppe
#

oh right, gear have it's specyfic stat and that counts towards the cap you can achieve per gear, right?

obsidian patio
#

Yep

#

So a gear with high Crit and low det already has Crit maxed out

cold steppe
#

so in case of my weapon which gives vitality/mind/crit/piety, i'd prolly prioritize determination and such

#

assuming crit is maxed already

obsidian patio
#

Yep, or direct hit instead of determination

#

DH/Det is a tossup for healers

cold steppe
#

gochu, that makes sense

leaden ginkgo
#

How does one defeat zenos yae galvus for storm blood msq? I've seen different videos and none explain

obsidian patio
#

Direct Hit gives more overall damage than Determination, but doesn’t boost your healing

#

@leaden ginkgo which fight instance?

#

Is this the one at the Ghimlyt Dark?

leaden ginkgo
#

In crimson it began

cold steppe
#

Determination is probably safest i feel since it increses both? Especially if you need quick healing, or i feel like you just dont handle healing balance as well, but then again i dont play that long yet so i might be wrong, but thanks for for explaining

#

now melding stats makes more sense for me mooglethink

last cape
finite topaz
#

When should i worry about materia?

obsidian patio
#

Level cap

olive yarrow
cold steppe
#

oh right, also one more thing, gear from future stuff gives you more materia slots or something? Or specyfic rarity? So far i've noticed tomestone gear gets you 2-1 slot depending on a type

fathom otter
#

I assume people don't do the early dungeons anymore do they?

#

sastasha has a 13min average wait time ;-;

cold steppe
#

depends on class and time when you match Krystil, people will get matched with you from daily roulette, probably

obsidian patio
# leaden ginkgo In crimson it began

Based on the video I’m watching, kill the swords as needed to make room for dodging aoes and just dodge as best you can. The fight “ends” at 94%

leaden ginkgo
obsidian patio
#

What is your average item level, by the way? That may also be a factor

leaden ginkgo
obsidian patio
#

👌

cold steppe
#

270 is enough as i've done that yesterday or so

leaden ginkgo
cold steppe
#

was mostly 270 gear, except the class gear you get from lvl 70 class quest

fathom otter
#

i just want the story clear tbh

obsidian patio
#

Waiting in queue will be a constant occurrence as a DPS unless you got friends to help

cold steppe
#

people will get matched with you from roulette, but tyhen again as i said, matching time depends on your class, and on the time of the day you're matching.

fathom otter
#

i see
unfort, but it be like that

cold steppe
#

even as a healer during night you can wait for an hour or so, at least on EU, simply because there wont be enough active people at the time.

#

anyway thanks for explaining food/pots/materia, since i got decent amout of some lower lvl materias from quests i'll use them on the IL400 gear i'll wear until shadowbringers for that slight boost to stats, always easier time

round ermine
#

Like, when the new expansion is announced

#

Will I be able to buy the complete edition of that expac straight away?

#

Buy as in preorder

#

And play trough the other campaigns before the new one is released

obsidian patio
#

Complete edition doesn’t get released until like release day or somewhere near that

#

But depending on how they do the stuff in February you’ll likely be able to pre-order the new expansion right away

round ermine
#

So if I want to play the full game right now i have two options:

Either buy the complete edition now, play until release date and then buy the expac (30+60$)
or
Wait until the release date and buy the complete edition (60$)

#

?

obsidian patio
#

Yep, or just get the base game for now and take your time with it

round ermine
#

I'm already about to finish HW

#

So it's not likely that I will be able to buy the full complete edition in february that includes the new expansion as well?

#

😦

warm snow
#

ShB standard is 35 on steam

#

And that'll give stormblood as well

#

February will be preorders for the next expansion as the expansions have previously released around july

#

Then again covid might have fucked that up so who knowd

finite topaz
#

Arr is so boring compared to the rest of the game tho

little swift
#

More likely to be end of August early September

finite topaz
#

I got the christmas sale complete edition for 30

round ermine
warm snow
#

45 for that bundle on steam

forest yacht
#

What would you meld as a healer

warm snow
#

That's more of a question for the balance but lemme go check

little swift
#

Sps to tier/piety to tier crit > dhit/det

warm snow
#

Piety for comfort

little swift
#

This tier is a lot more heal heavy

warm snow
#

Then crit > dhit or det

little swift
#

Meld more piety

forest yacht
#

I kind of was asking in general

#

so spell speed and piety + crit?

little swift
#

Sps is for hitting alignments

warm snow
#

Well at least be specific for the healer?

#

Cuz I know ast has ogcd healing out the ass

little swift
#

The range is the 2.4 to 2.3 gcd for all the healers this time

#

You're still gcd healing this tier

#

Damage is high

warm snow
#

Oh I know. Static is still on e9s

little swift
#

Dhit vs det is really sorta up to you though

#

Dhit means more damage

#

But det is a little more healing and damage

#

9s hasn't been that high on damage

warm snow
#

We admittedly also stopped since before Christmas

little swift
#

Mostly the deluge of darkness and sorta the start with stack/spread

grizzled swan
#

So soloing PoTD isn't going so well I've gotten dicked over twice now trying to get to just floor 10 :\

robust crow
#

might want to find a group of people on party finder to help out

#

floor 50 should be your first goal

#

floor 50 is what everyone farms for exp

grizzled swan
#

I'm just worried about needing to dip out or something

robust crow
#

set aside like 2 hours

#

soloing from 1-50 is a bit of a drag

faint flare
#

You kinda need high aetherpool to solo so

obsidian patio
#

Solo also isn’t practical for first time due to ^

faint flare
#

A 10 floor set doesn't take long

robust crow
#

e9s isn't so bad but e10s will hammer you

#

e10s does its deepshadow nova (the raidwide) like every other mechanic

faint flare
#

Thats basically this tier in a nutshell

stray nimbus
#

If I level up to 30, would I get all the secondary classes ready for me or do I have to level up Lancer to get dragoon, and the others?

robust crow
#

you would have to level every class individually

alpine shadow
#

level up lancer to get dragoon

#

and lancer is basically dragoon, with the job stone

robust crow
#

being a level 30 white mage doesn't mean your level 1 lancer suddenly becomes level 30 dragoon

#

you still have to level the lancer starting at 1

stray nimbus
#

Ahh ok thanks. I'm guessing ill learn about job stones when I get level 30 with Lancer

robust crow
#

there's hardly anything to learn about them

stray nimbus
#

So what class do I need to level up for samurai?

robust crow
#

samurai is standalone

warped nest
#

Samurai doesn't have base class

robust crow
#

you unlock it as soon as you are level 50 in something else

warped nest
#

It doesn't evolve from a specific class

#

Classes becoming Jobs is an ARR concept

stray nimbus
#

Oh ok thats awesome so is there a story quest where they will give me a jobstone or just continue to find out

robust crow
#

there is a quest you unlock after reaching level 50 in any other class that will unlock samurai for you

warped nest
#

Yup, Samurai unlock quest give you weapon, armor, and job stone

robust crow
#

there isn't much to learn about job stones anyway

#

it's just this thing you equip that lets you become a job

warped nest
#

For expansion Jobs, putting on weapon will automatically put on your job stone

stray nimbus
#

Ahhhh ok. I see i see. Just one last question, which class do I level up for dark knight? Or is that standalone as well

warped nest
#

Same thing

faint flare
#

Standalone

warped nest
#

DRK is another expansion job

faint flare
#

All expansion jobs are standalone

#

Though you may want to level gladiator/Maradurer to learn how to tank

robust crow
#

only these classes highlighted in red have base jobs

#

below them are their advanced jobs

stray nimbus
#

Awesome ill do that. Imma ss this

robust crow
#

scholar is the exception since it branches off arcanist which is also summoner

warped nest
#

Take note DRK might take you the longest to unlock

#

Because Heavensward expansion Jobs are locked behind your story progression

stray nimbus
#

Thank yall so much ill ss all of this if I can

faint flare
#

You can just do the command in kupo bot spam

warped nest
#

You cannot get DRK until you get inside Heavensward story, meanwhile Stormblood/Shadowbringers Jobs are locked behind your character level and ownership of the expansion

stray nimbus
#

Will do thanks everyone.

fierce cobalt
#

So Ive only recently finished Kai-shirrs custom delivery storyline and got full handking for crafters, what should I be spending yellow and white crafters scrips on now?

#

So Ive only recently finished Kai-shirrs custom delivery storyline and got full handking for crafters, what should I be spending yellow and white crafters scrips on now?

tame quail
#

So probably a question that gets asked a fair bit or maybe not but ... are there any helpful points or hints into dipping one's toe in the raiding side?

lilac flume
#

anyone here familiar with teamccraft?

fierce cobalt
#

How early are we talking Dreamwalker, have u found a static or do you plan do it with randoms?

mossy current
#

@tame quail always look to improve

#

Utilize tools and guides to assist

tame quail
#

Random

mossy current
#

Nothing wrong with asking for help too

#

Just be careful of some rather touchy people in PF >.>

tame quail
#

Like is there a raid you'd recommend to start on and what difficulty generally?

mossy current
#

Extremes

#

Emerald EX is pretty good, but needs i500 gear

tame quail
#

I have 505

mossy current
#

Ruby EX is easier, requires i470

#

Titania and Inno are good to learn from too

#

But Emerald Gives an i515 weapon

tame quail
#

ok

fierce cobalt
#

Assuming you want to jump right in:
if you have money/crafter friends get full 510 gear, then get emerald and gear wise youre ready for the latest tier

#

fill in with 520 tomestone gear as you go along

mossy current
#

Normal first to actually unlock ex

finite topaz
#

Oh right

mossy current
#

If you're playing ranged, watch out for some tome gear

finite topaz
#

Dumb question

fierce cobalt
#

ideally you only do normal once, usually no incentive to run normal more than that

mossy current
#

Normal Raid is good if prog is slow

fierce cobalt
#

^what Aza said, I thought we were talking about trials

mossy current
#

she

#

Ah yeah

#

Trials only have triple triad cards sometimes

fierce cobalt
#

yeah alternative path if poor, 510 gear drops from normal raids

obsidian patio
#

Oh wait misread you already got handsaint

fierce cobalt
#

No I dont

tame quail
#

Thank you all. I guess I'll go hunt down the emerald weapon normal and start from there

obsidian patio
#

So materia all the way basically, unless you want specific crafting materials

fierce cobalt
#

I have handking

#

handking is the 70s stuff

#

I thought for 80 I want the crafted gear right?

#

cus I can fit materia in it

#

Do we expect new crafter gear in 5.5

obsidian patio
#

Yes, but unless you plan to buy it with Gil you’ll need gear to easily make it

#

Aesthete and Handsaint are expected to be the last DoH/DoL sets for Shadowbringers

#

Not counting upgrades to the skysteel tools in 5.45 and 5.55

fierce cobalt
#

ok I have two more questions

#

whats the gear priority for crafters usually? similar to battle gear? weapon first then armour?

What materia should I prioritise?

robust crow
#

crafter gear is a loaded question

#

you either have to go really deep or not deep at all

obsidian patio
#

Crafting “BiS” is mainly how little high quality materials you want to use and how fast you want your rotations to be

robust crow
#

a pretty decent set of gear is the white scrip gear

#

it's good enough to craft like 90% of the things

fierce cobalt
#

I understand theres a lot of nuisance, but is there some general tips for someone just getting into crafting?

obsidian patio
#

Being at the bare minimum Craftsmanship and Control while melding maximum or near-max CP is good enough for the most part

robust crow
#

if you want to be able to make HQ raiding consumables or gear though, you're going to have to go deep on a full aesthete's set with full pentamelds

fierce cobalt
#

ok so handsaint seems like a good idea

robust crow
#

yeah handsaint is great

obsidian patio
#

Note that full Handsaint can’t do 4-star crafting though

fierce cobalt
#

is there a huge gap between handsaint and BiS?

robust crow
#

it's purchaseable within a few weeks' worth of white scrips and will last you for a while

obsidian patio
#

It suffers too much from low Control and low CP

robust crow
#

yeah what wynne said

fierce cobalt
#

whats 4 star crafting sorry?

robust crow
#

basically what i mentioned

#

raiding consumables or gear

obsidian patio
#

Basically stat requirement tiers at level caps

fierce cobalt
#

Ah

robust crow
#

unfortunately there's no in-between

fierce cobalt
#

so if I want to take it slow Handsaint -> crafted BiS

robust crow
#

you have to go hard on the aesthetes and pentamelding if you want to be able to craft that stuff

#

yeah pretty much

#

stick to handsaint until you're sure you want to invest in crafting

#

because getting fully pentamelded costs a fortune

fierce cobalt
#

sounds like i can make decent money selling people crafting materia then

#

what usually sells?

#

or does it flucutate too much

robust crow
#

craftsman's command tier 7 or tier 8

#

both sell for a lot

#

idk the price right now but they can be between 10-20k per materia

fierce cobalt
#

Do the types matter? for example I know battle gear crits are usually in demand and piety isnt

obsidian patio
#

Best to always double check the prices of the grade 7/8 materia to make sure you’re getting the most valuable ones

robust crow
#

command is what a lot of crafters will want

obsidian patio
#

The order in terms of general price is Control > CP/Craftsmanship

fierce cobalt
#

cool

robust crow
#

it's not unheard of to blow over 100 tier 7s pentamelding a single piece

#

that's literally like a mil that went poof

fierce cobalt
#

whats the point where craft > handsaint, as soon as base materia is put in or after the first overmeld?

robust crow
#

hard to say tbh

#

i haven't met anyone who bothered to meld handsaint

queen yoke
#

Can someone explain me how collectability stat for ishgard restoration works?

obsidian patio
#

Filling up the visible slots and first overmeld beat out Handsaint most of the time

robust crow
#

except the vendors ask for a certain amount of it

#

with quality, filling the bar means you have 100% chance to HQ

#

with collectability, you only have to fill the bar enough to make the NPC happy

queen yoke
#

I see so the closer the bar is to HQ to better the collectability?

robust crow
#

not quite

#

when you craft the item itself

#

you are either building collectability or quality

#

it's unique to the craft itself

#

for ishgard, everything you craft will have collectability and not quality

queen yoke
#

ah I see

robust crow
#

the craft itself tells you how much collectability you are currently at

queen yoke
#

I understand better now

robust crow
#

so once you reach your desired collectability you can just complete the craft

queen yoke
#

thanks

blissful lily
#

how much does a fenrir mount sell for?

robust crow
#

you can't buy fenrir from marketboard

#

that's just 1mil mgp

blissful lily
#

you can trade it tho

#

does no one sell stuff that way?

obsidian patio
#

You can’t.

little swift
#

fairly sure the mount is untradeable

blissful lily
#

dang

#

1m mgp is gonna take forever :/

robust crow
#

depends how dedicated you are

#

challenge log + weekly fashion report is like 100k right there

blissful lily
#

that still 10 weeks

robust crow
#

add in daily and weekly cactpot

little swift
robust crow
#

chocobo racing

#

oh yeah I forgot that gear doesn't have meld slots

#

thanks

#

daily and weekly cactpot, chocobo racing (which is like 200k worth of MGP if you do all the missions), running GATES, zhloe's wondrous tails

fierce cobalt
#

sounds like its probably better to head straight to aestethes then make up the money by spending the scrips on materia?

robust crow
#

up to you

#

if you get aesthete's at all then you should aim to pentameld

#

if you weren't planning on pentamelding then you may as well stick with handsaint

fierce cobalt
#

Seems like I cant make anything of the current tier without penta tho right?

little swift
#

unless you plan to craft a lot, investing pentamelding is kinda of costly and not worth it

fierce cobalt
#

A little background is im looking into this to supply my own potions and food

#

for the svage tier

little swift
#

but yes this tier's stuff requires HQ premats despite being pentamelded

fierce cobalt
#

so its super close

robust crow
#

let me tell you

#

from firsthand experience

#

if you want to supply your own pots and food

#

it's going to take a pretty decent amount of investment

#

not just with getting the pentamelded gear, but also from gathering all the shit you need to craft it

#

not to mention gathering the shit to make chili crab so you can make the food to begin with

little swift
#

can confirm

#

i spent the first week of 5.4 gathering enough to craft a full 8 crafted sets for my static

#

just sitting around waiting for legendary nodes off cooldown

robust crow
#

this tier's most popular food

#

smoked chicken

patent citrus
#

chicken thigh is white scrips item only?

robust crow
#

chicken thigh costs white scrips, frantoio oil should be HQ since it's the easiest way to get free starting quality, lemonettes are a timed node (use retainers), you can gather night pepper and creamtop mushroom normally, salt crystal is a timed node

#

to give you an idea

fierce cobalt
#

ok heretical statement

#

what if I just want to craft sauage and saurkraut Hq, the 480 food from last tier

#

would handsaint be enough or still no

obsidian patio
#

Yes

fierce cobalt
#

according to a dps calc even on BiS I lose..11dps

robust crow
#

you also lose some vitality

fierce cobalt
#

compared to chicken fetticine

vast torrent
#

How much Crysta is the 1 month sub? with 1 character.

robust crow
#

on BiS you may also not be at the right sks tier

#

since sausage gives less sks than fettucine

#

i mean you'll probably be fine on sks since the difference won't be terribly large

robust crow
#

yeah probably

little swift
#

but the hp difference is at least a couple k hp

finite topaz
#

Are the elite marks worth anything

patent citrus
#

oo making sausage and kraut doesn't require rare ingredients?

#

so it's one of those situations where your last tier food is much easier to craft?

robust crow
#

not exactly

#

sausage and sauerkraut still requires timed nodes

#

HQing it may not require full pentameld though

patent citrus
#

ahhh, so incarnater just made observation based on the gear alone hehe

#

ok ty ty

Subscription Prices
obsidian patio
#

1300 crysta per month

fierce cobalt
#

Yeah im just trying to be economical here

robust crow
#

honestly

#

if you want to be economical

#

if you just bought your own food and pots for the whole tier

#

you will probably spend less than what it costs to fully pentameld

#

but if you fully pentameld then you can craft food and sell it yourself

#

but of course you can also just go the slow way like I did

#

and manually farm your pentameld materia by farming white and yellow scrips

#

my full pentameld set was free

#

it only cost me weeks of my life

patent citrus
#

yeah, unless you are serious about crafting the ilvl 500 is definitely enough hehe

robust crow
#

btw

#

it will cost like 50k yellow scrips on average

#

to full pmeld

#

fun fact

fierce cobalt
#

thats not very fun at all

patent citrus
#

yeh i saw the guide 😂 but I can understand hehe

#

i mean if you like crafting

fierce cobalt
#

Is there a gospel place for macros

#

or is it all over the place

robust crow
#

people submit their own macros to teamcraft

fierce cobalt
#

lets say I want a macro for collectibles at least

robust crow
#

you can nab someone else's macro provided you have their stats

#

for ishgard specifically there's a google doc that has macros for each craft

brazen briar
#

Hello, is there any way someone could help me identify the gear in an image I found?

robust crow
brazen briar
#

i'll post it in glamour, thank you!

fierce cobalt
#

oh right

robust crow
#

what are you trying to craft

fierce cobalt
#

is there more the specialist other than getting the soulstone thing?

#

collectibles

robust crow
#

what collectible specifically

fierce cobalt
#

ah so theres no catch all?

#

guess Ill try match it for next week then

robust crow
#

teamcraft likes to do macros by the required quality/stats

lavish vortex
#

Hi! I’m lvl 60, trying to get to lvl 61 but suddenly the dungeons give me like 1/5 of 1 level exp required, is that normal? And is that the best way to level up from 60 on?

robust crow
#

but if you're trying to craft something level 70 or under you can just press trained eye

robust crow
#

either do the level 59 or the 61 dungeon

lavish vortex
#

Ohhh that explains it! So what do you recommend for lvl 60 to 61? Just wait for tomorrow and do dailies again?

patent citrus
#

lv 59 hehe

robust crow
#

run the 59 dungeon

#

or go do potd

#

or go do some stormblood beast tribe dailies

#

like the ananta

lavish vortex
#

Ohhh 59 is better?!!!

#

Gotcha

fierce cobalt
#

Is spirit extract a safe-ish dump for allegories? since I know theyre used in the potions and all so demand would be constant?

robust crow
#

yes

#

you can safely dump into spirit extract

leaden ginkgo
#

Silly question, how do I get Allagan Tomestone of Revelations again?>

fierce cobalt
#

Are you level 80?

robust crow
#

the most lucrative ways are hunt trains and daily roulettes

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm level 80 yeah, and hunt trains?

robust crow
#

expert roulette in particular

obsidian patio
#

Level 80 content in general gives them out

fierce cobalt
#

If you do nothing but expert roulette you cap out in revelations in 5 days just FYI

leaden ginkgo
#

My 80 dungeon roulette is locked because my item level isn't 440... but i somehow have 420 Revelations xD

obsidian patio
#

Other roulettes give them out too at 80

fierce cobalt
#

ouch u need some gear upgrades, maybe some allegory gear or buy on market?

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh, I have the Dying Gasp Trial unlocked... that one is 80

fierce cobalt
#

I assume you havent finished the MSQ then?

patent citrus
#

all other roulettes gives revelations too 🤔

leaden ginkgo
#

I have not been able to complete post Shadowbringers story quest because my item level isn't past 430 to unlock Grand Cosmos

#

and ooooh i notice the "rewards" in the Duty Finder now, thank you!

fierce cobalt
#

ok I think I will take it slow and go handsaint, what makes sense to invest in first if full handking, weapons?

#

Thanks again @obsidian patio @robust crow @little swift

patent citrus
#

hand saints are pretty cheap, if you do all your max level custom deliveries you can get all of them in 1-2 weeks 🤔

#

like ehl tou and kalshir

#

i'm not sure if it's server dependent, they are both have bonus for doh this week

obsidian patio
#

Bonus is per person, IIRC

Does anyone know what Wesk Alber means when he says "the Jinpu timer has more time than the Shifu timer" here? Why does using the third stack on Gekko matter in relation to the timers? https://youtu.be/UWqpRCDDEpY?t=905

thorn totem
#

for mining are u able to exchange regular for HQ?

obsidian patio
#

Nope

thorn totem
#

Shifu

#

allows u to cast faster

#

when u use shifu, u get a buff in cast time, and other stuff

polar cairn
#

what is the cap ilevel for retainers ?

thorn totem
#

what hes saying is ur able to just cast faster etc for 40 sec rather than using jinpu first

polar cairn
#

currently

thorn totem
#

Getting HQ is so tedious ugh

#

obsidian patio

!faq retainerbp

zinc orbitBOT

FSH: 1628 Gathering.
DoW/DoM: Item Level 428.

slate arrow
#

obsidian patio
#

Later skills make it a lot easier to get bulk HQ items

polar cairn

faint flare

!action unearth iii

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Unearth III** : lvl 63 MIN (300 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases the chance of obtaining HQ items while gathering by 30% - 100%. Increase is determined by your perception rating. Does not increase chances for items which start at 0%.

Cannot be used with Unearth.

thorn totem
#

ah

obsidian patio
#

And as for HQ it depends on the items

leaden ginkgo
copper pasture
#

what happens to the materia in the original item if you augment an equip

robust crow
#

faint flare
#

Gone

robust crow
#

pull them out before you augment

copper pasture
#

rip

#

faint flare
#

You're trading in the item

#

For a new one

#

Not like upgrading in other games

copper pasture
#

is there a way to 100% take them out without

#

them being destroyed

faint flare
#

Only if its tier 6 and under

#

Retrieval rates are flat and cant be changed

copper pasture
#

ok

#

halcyon grail
#

Does the Fatebreaker always do the same kinda pattern? 3 in a row, which makes a kinda X-shaped aoe?

faint flare
#

For prismatic? There's always 3 clones all next to each other

halcyon grail
#

So if I'm running and finally meet one, I can just back up a little and always be in the safe spot?

snow lagoon
#

So can anyone help me im unable to play. I played in like 2015 own the game on steam my game says its a steam account on mog page

faint flare
#

Basically...check either side for a clone to double check

halcyon grail
#

I ask because I have a hard time visualizing the aoe lines after running around

snow lagoon
#

I think I had downloaded windows version on accident, and when i launch from steam it tells me I cant play the game

#

do i need to delete the one and reinstall?

faint flare
#

Once the clone visually disappears you're generally safe

cold crescent
#

#

robust sail
#

So how do you fight ||Ultimate Bahamut?||

steep heron
robust crow
#

that fight is unlocked after you clear o4s

#

to beat the actual fight, you're very likely going to want to be part of a static

#

you should also expect to learning this boss for potentially months before your clear

leaden ginkgo
#

what kind of armor does aymark wear and the attendants in eulmore in general wear?

steep heron
#

If you go into Garland Tools (website), you can see the equipment for almost evry npc in the game

leaden ginkgo
#

like the white and gold armor

robust crow
#

aymeric's armor specifically is purchased with real money on the mog station

leaden ginkgo
#

field commander's coat it's called

#

says someone called calamity salvager has it for 1000 gil?

#

but then says quest reward?

#

?

little swift
#

Its a pvp achievement reward

#

You can only repurchase it from a calamity salvager if you've already obtained the achievement

leaden ginkgo
#

ah I see

opal silo
#

Seeking tips on how to "parse" the screen easily when in a dungeon. Just did the first newbie dungeon last night, and it was a total whirlwind. For example, when a tank has 6 mobs on him, how do you know which one he's attacking?

leaden ginkgo
#

what is seal rock campaign victory? a victory in that specific map?

#

just a regular frontline victory?

little swift
#

@opal silo can select the tank from your party list and in your target bar it will show what your target is targeting

opal silo
#

Ohhhh

little swift
#

This shouldn't matter too much in dungeons since you should be aoeing everything if you can

opal silo
#

Ah, fair enough. Don't think I have any AoE stuff unlocked yet, but makes sense

#

The tank was just wizzing through so fast, I just couldn't read the screen as fast as things were going.
