oh, so should I wait until other party members join?
i mean, firstly make sure you're actually queued for people to join
but its up to you. easy roulette complete atleast
probably not
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
Is there a way to make it so cutscenes youve seen before (in dungeons for example) just dont play at all
yeah I think it's in the character settings somewhere
when it's on the screen will fade to black and back instead of playing cutscene
thx
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 ?
does the time also matter for the things for gathering? Or is it just getting lucky on specyfic node?
certain nodes require you to be in the area at a specific time (eorzea time not real world time)
they have litany and dragon sight which is more party buffs than the other melee have
is that information somewhere in game or do i have to goggle this? 
for instance Tungstite's node only appears between 2am/pm and 4am/pm
can I still augment my old ironworks gear?
also even if their numbers are marginally lower it doesn't really make a difference so if you enjoy it, play it
most of the information can be found in the gathering journal
Gathering log you mean?
log yes, sorry
gochu, thanks, it doesnt say anything about time so i assume i just gotta keep at it
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 ?
oh great, i'll check it out, thanks!
!faq balance
consult ninja bis here
ninja doesn't really want sks
what's a good way to farm GC seals before reaching sergeant second class
erm, when do you unlock deliveries?
hunting log, fates if you're willing, daily roulette (AiN bonus if you can grab it)
at top level, monk would be the ‘worst’ melee as it isn’t synergistic with popular speedkilling comps
turning in old dungeon gear once you hit sergeant second class
aha
can also get a quick like 2k~ or so from doing the pvp and frontline unlock quests iirc
I got to sergeant 3 by just doing deliveries
It's also worth noting that no job performs so significantly worse than similar jobs that they don't get taken for high-end content
yeah, the balancing is so tight as to not matter for 99.9% of players
Yeah that's what I noted looking at the charts as well. Even bard or red mage aren't that much worse than blm or samurai
Which is very cool
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
jobs being "unplayable" for a given content type is a mentality for other MMORPGs, not here 🙂
and one i wouldn't be surprised to see alleviated in 6.0
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
because there's only one correct way to play each job it's much easier to balance them against each other
Bit of a shame but eh, whatever works.
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
yes you'll get another 30 days
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 ?
After your current paid sub at the time ended ?
I don't remember if it was after or before tbh
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
This was a year ago but I was given 30 additional days
I believe it was counted after my sub ended???
usually free time is used up first
Anytime you buy a complete edition even as a license it'll give you 30 days free

Ye
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
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.
You're basically buying the game again
Is there anywhere I can check how many days of sub I have left in total ?
pops up on the bottom right of the screen at character select (when you login in game)
assuming you don't have a recurring sub
I paid my sub, 30 days, a few days before buying the complete edition
Not sure if that’s what you’re asking lol
if it says "Recurring" then it won't indicate how many days are left
YeH I’m not tryna get free time I paid my sub but they’re telling me i have trial account
because it just auto renews
if you aren't recurring, then it'll indicate how many days are left
How do you get to that page
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?
!faq weaving
Perfect, thanks.
And do people tend to spam for recasts? Or time it within a half second or whenever the button press carries over?
Help I just wanna play the game I paid for
u should have a code to upgrade ur account i think
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
I litterally only have that one account I even have receipts for the sub
Where can I find the code
did u buy on steam or square enix lol
No on psn
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
oh then iunno 🤫
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
what are the abilities that people put away from the hotbar/find it useless for summoner or is there none?
Hi
Im new but i wanna eventually do the hard raids
How big of a jump/commitment is it?
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
physick is basically the only skill you can realistically toss @leaden ginkgo all others have some use/good to keep on your hotbar
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. ^^
SE doesn't delete characters
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
So what are my options
Is there a way to check progress
Tx. I really hope so ^^
log in to them and see what level they are?
are you certain you're logging into the correct ps4 account because ps4 doesn't require a code unless you bought a physical copy
Red mags is 53. Is that good?
red mage starts at 50
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
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?
well, unless you're super sure you wanna start over i would just go with the 53 rdm
Is there some benefit/reward for doing potd 51-200 floors?
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
I beat the main story
oh well i misread
And the first dlc
Am I responsible for rolling on loot as the tank?
So I have to beat the story for the red mage dlc?
but like i would personally just recommend sitting down and reading over your tooltips
adjust your UI to make it comfortable for you
Are the alliance raids hard?
and then work on progressing the main scenario quest
no
@finite topaz no, they're intended to be casual content
But some WHM complained about me not rolling mid-pull
ignore them
So if i wanted to beat each of the Raids normal difficulty itd be feasible without getting really sweaty?
yes
I don't even know what's so precious about qitana ravel gear to begin with
could be an upgrade for them
Nothing to really get upset rolling over
it'd be nice to be able to equip it asap
What’s the most casual/easy class?
but realistically not worth being upset over
Im gonna avoid the ex stuff since i aint got time to research plus id probably tilt some people for being bad
I kind of want to start over for a class
rdm is pretty easy
red mage is actually pretty easy and straight forward
and you only got 3 levels on it (it starts at 50)
I gotta look up the rotation
Dancer is also fairly braindead for opposite reasons
!faq 50rdm
ay i got this gae bolg zenith thing
do i gotta do the whole questline to get the replica gae bolg for glamour purposes
yes
r u shitting me
yes, you have to finish zeta before you can buy ARR relic replicas
like all the way up the zodiac stuff?
yes
yes
that is absurd
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?
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?
replicas didn't originally exist
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'?
so the ARR relics don't have the appropriate checkpoints that expansion replicas do
guess i'll have stuff to do after i finish up shadowbringers huh
So far I've just been clicking but that feels unreliable
While I'm not a paladin main, I've set up Cover as a macro next to my party list!
Boss hitboxes are so weird sometimes
target nearest party member for my dragon sight on dragoon
and try to stand next to a dps
makes shit way faster
What would be a macro for covering the nearest member?
I actually use 7 macros - just a simple /ac "Cover" <3> for each party member
/targetpc i believe
and then place it next to their name in the party list
Which channel is designated for recruiting players for a trial/dungeon?
#603040914096783371 but probably better to make a pf ingame
Also: which trial/dungeon
thank you c:
Anyone know a decent way to find groups for running stuff? I wanna run Memeoria Miseria but dont wanna party finder it myself cause i dont think i can direct others well.
ah yeah then just. throw up a pf
rather specific question: is there a sort of armored skirt (that isnt stupid slutty) that would look good with armor as a tank class? looking on the market, i couldnt find anything.
late allagan armor of fending
looks AWESOME
pvp reward
well maybe its more like a really long coat idk
i love it tho
yeah that does look awesome. thanks for that mate. now i got a chestpeice, but still need a skirt
tbh the ff14 fashion website miiiight be helpful
oh, could i get a link to that, bandwidth?
welc homie
looks like they also have a discord
i mean like
if there were ever a place to ask ppl about cool looking armor
thats prolly it
Where do I travel to to change classes? I forgot
which class do u want to try
Black mags
yeah, that might be helpful. how do i find their server?
Thank you
thanks
welc

I heard that MAteus has a discord but I've not seen it recently
check #resources
Just keep waiting in the queue.
If you’re a DPS it’s something you’ll eventually need to get used to.
true
Try during prime hours
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
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
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.
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
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)
Also is there some indication which dungeons ive finished? Am i blind?
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
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
Yeh i gotchu
Fester is just for damage since raid buffs are usually out by then. Wyrmwaves only proc on gcds
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
Im just gonna do normal mode and call it a day 😂
I wanna play other games too lmfao
In the duty finder if you go to the dungeons tab dungeons will have a ✅ next to the picture if you've completed them
savage difficulty content isn't really about reflexes, it's more about knowing the fight and planning ahead so you can avoid things before they appear
Ahh ty i am blind
I got bronchitis aint nobody got time for that
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
people just unsync the old savages
i doubt you'll find anyone to yell at you tbh
a3s is a cake walk unsynced
Idk if being yelled at or quiet disappointment is worse
took my static less than an hour to clear a12s blind
You're just reading too hard into what people aren't thinking
level 80 gear powercreeps the shit out of alex savage
Maybe
Ffxiv so far isnt as toxic as destiny
Yeh but i dont wanna slam bosses ezpz i wanna actually accomplish it
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?
with new ishgard restoration do the mats jump to grade 4?
Yes
ty
Use up all your grade 3s
then you may as well just start doing e9 savage
might consider doing it a bit later then
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
Really?
So itd be hard to find raids synced or in other words im gonna mostly find people unsynced whod carry?
if you really want to do alexander synced
you're going to have to look for a specialized static
Unless you join a discord or find a linkshells that specializes in old content synced at minimum item level, then pretty much yes
Well thats kinda lame i dont wanna just be carried the whole game
350 total members
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
dude just go start on e9 savage if you want the sense of accomplishment lol
Eden is the current expansion raid
way easier to just jump in to current tier in a fresh party than to hunt for people to do old content synced
E9 is the current tier
eden's promise: umbra (savage)
With 9-12 being the current tier
is e9
A3 is from wayyyyy back in the first expansion
Any way to test a /p macro solo?
you...shouldn't be looking at any kind of savage before finishing msq
A(x): alexander (HW)
O(x): Omega (SB)
E(x): Eden (SHB)
No i know
Replace the /p with /e to have it go into a chat that only you can see
Im gonna do msq first
Make all your /p to /echo
But like eventually i start with e9 otherwise id be carried is what ur saying
pretty much I guess
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
Any old content will probably be unsynced
you'll probably find a decent number of people doing a4, a8, a12 since those reward mounts but they'd be doing it unsynced
A8 is minion only 
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
Alexander was just an example
How do you move to a new line in a /p or /e again?
alexander savage is easy to kill unsynced tho
I meant normal raids in general
Carriage return equivalent
you can do a4s with 3 people: 1 healer and 2 melee dps
Normal mode raids you can just queue up for with no problem
They'll be fast but done at level
no one is going to do anything savage that isn't e9-12 synced
Have another line of /echo
they are going to unsync it if anything
Thanks
if you want to do them synced then that discord link Wynne just linked is your best bet
Thats the answer i wanted
It was the S that stands for savage people were worried about lol
Ill do the normals and then e9 if i got time before i start school lmao
When you said A3S
Kek
Smooth af



back off ren is mine 

lul
alrighty as cute as this is lets move on
Imma use that irl im pretty proud of myself
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?
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
but if you leave and then join the dungeon back later?

i think it'd work then
okay ty
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
You'd have to reset your progress because of how deep dungeons read classes. It considers the base class and the extended job as two different classes.
You need a new save file
Your best option is to clear floor 50 before leaving to do the class to job quest.
oh yeah would need to reset save then
oh
dang
only did PotD to like level 10
I mean, that's not effectively losing progress.
that's a 20m investment for solo and a 5m for party, so uhh just reset
Basically just trial and error, yeah. Expansions have it easier since there’s less total bait to consider
no wonder I hate fishing in this game
I've never done PotD... Is there a point to go that much out of you way ?
minions, mounts, titles, unlocking HoH (another deep dungeon), but other than that not really
And I guess you get the same kind of stuff from HoH
no, HoH is different stuff
What is there to get from HoH ?
may as well dump excess poetics into the random minions and orch rolls and shit, or just start buying gear sets for more classes
different minions, different mounts, different titles, and no further deep dungeon to unlock, ofc
Is disciple of hand/land necessary or just for fun
They're optional and ignorable
they'll help you gather and craft stuff
stuff that could include endgame gear, food, pots, glams
Can I change it so that left mouse button hold doesn't change which direction my character moves when I hold W too?
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
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?
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
i doubt the new complete edition will have a discount, so yes.
Ok cheers
and just the expansion will cost 30$?
what kind of food people usually buy for the dungeons, trials and so? 
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
yeah i mean stat wise what you're looking at, if food gives your primary stat? 
it gives like crit, det and vit, like how materia is
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
I just mostly wondered what to look at when buying those stuff, when i'd need one lol
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.
I see 
are hoptrap leaves likely to be the non diadem crafting mat for grade 4 lv 80 still?
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.
Oh btw, when is it likely that the new expansion will be announced? Fanfest in February?
How does it work
February is the most likely time
Feb is the current rumor
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? 
As for how it’ll work, unknown since COVID messed everything up
Level 100 cap? 🧐
Ty
We still need to hit level 90 first :p
We havent even got to 90 yet xD
Yep
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!
Leveling roulette
Do DR
Oh they go by tens huh
yep. do them if you don't have them yet
Daily roulette ez lvl
Complete leveling roulette if you haven’t done it already. If so then spam your highest level dungeon
And if u already completed dr
Dang i want a clean 100
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?
There's also some npcs in Vesper Bay who give you quests to unlock dungeons
Maybe 7.0 if they make it
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
Also unlock the challenge log
Basically - you have a few options
Generally melding stats is a “fit this stat until you can’t anymore, then go to the next one in the priority chain”
Only Piety, Skill Speed, and Spell Speed are stats you generally stop at a specific point
oh right, gear have it's specyfic stat and that counts towards the cap you can achieve per gear, right?
so in case of my weapon which gives vitality/mind/crit/piety, i'd prolly prioritize determination and such
assuming crit is maxed already
gochu, that makes sense
How does one defeat zenos yae galvus for storm blood msq? I've seen different videos and none explain
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?
In crimson it began
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 
note that this doesn't apply to every job, Warrior prefers Det over DH
When should i worry about materia?
Level cap
Tyvm for your advice!
Il try that, thanks!
Thank you, I'll try this!
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
I assume people don't do the early dungeons anymore do they?
sastasha has a 13min average wait time ;-;
depends on class and time when you match Krystil, people will get matched with you from daily roulette, probably
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%
Alright thats a bit more easier what a drag lol
What is your average item level, by the way? That may also be a factor
I'm using all shire equipment i think its 270
👌
270 is enough as i've done that yesterday or so
If you're a dps expect wait times to be high lol
was mostly 270 gear, except the class gear you get from lvl 70 class quest
i just want the story clear tbh
Waiting in queue will be a constant occurrence as a DPS unless you got friends to help
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.
i see
unfort, but it be like that
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

Oh and how does it work with preorders?
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
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
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$)
or
Wait until the release date and buy the complete edition (60$)
?
Yep, or just get the base game for now and take your time with it
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?
😦
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
Arr is so boring compared to the rest of the game tho
More likely to be end of August early September
I got the christmas sale complete edition for 30
Ye but I also need base game 😛
45 for that bundle on steam
What would you meld as a healer
That's more of a question for the balance but lemme go check
Sps to tier/piety to tier crit > dhit/det
Piety for comfort
This tier is a lot more heal heavy
Then crit > dhit or det
Meld more piety
Sps is for hitting alignments
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
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
We admittedly also stopped since before Christmas
Mostly the deluge of darkness and sorta the start with stack/spread
So soloing PoTD isn't going so well I've gotten dicked over twice now trying to get to just floor 10 :\
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
I'm just worried about needing to dip out or something
You kinda need high aetherpool to solo so
Solo also isn’t practical for first time due to ^
A 10 floor set doesn't take long
our static's healers complain that e10s and e11s are just raidwides over and over and over
e9s isn't so bad but e10s will hammer you
e10s does its deepshadow nova (the raidwide) like every other mechanic
Thats basically this tier in a nutshell
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?
you would have to level every class individually
level up lancer to get dragoon
and lancer is basically dragoon, with the job stone
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
Ahh ok thanks. I'm guessing ill learn about job stones when I get level 30 with Lancer
there's hardly anything to learn about them
So what class do I need to level up for samurai?
samurai is standalone
Samurai doesn't have base class
you unlock it as soon as you are level 50 in something else
Oh ok thats awesome so is there a story quest where they will give me a jobstone or just continue to find out
there is a quest you unlock after reaching level 50 in any other class that will unlock samurai for you
Yup, Samurai unlock quest give you weapon, armor, and job stone
there isn't much to learn about job stones anyway
it's just this thing you equip that lets you become a job
For expansion Jobs, putting on weapon will automatically put on your job stone
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
Same thing
Standalone
DRK is another expansion job
All expansion jobs are standalone
Though you may want to level gladiator/Maradurer to learn how to tank
only these classes highlighted in red have base jobs
below them are their advanced jobs
Awesome ill do that. Imma ss this
scholar is the exception since it branches off arcanist which is also summoner
!faq expacjobs

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?
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?
anyone here familiar with teamccraft?
How early are we talking Dreamwalker, have u found a static or do you plan do it with randoms?
Random
Nothing wrong with asking for help too
Just be careful of some rather touchy people in PF >.>
Like is there a raid you'd recommend to start on and what difficulty generally?
I have 505
Ruby EX is easier, requires i470
Titania and Inno are good to learn from too
But Emerald Gives an i515 weapon
ok
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
Normal first to actually unlock ex
Oh right
If you're playing ranged, watch out for some tome gear
Dumb question
ideally you only do normal once, usually no incentive to run normal more than that
Normal Raid is good if prog is slow
^what Aza said, I thought we were talking about trials
yeah alternative path if poor, 510 gear drops from normal raids
Spend Yellow scrips on materia, either for self-use or selling.
White scrips either for Handsaint gear or more materia
Oh wait misread you already got handsaint
No I dont
Thank you all. I guess I'll go hunt down the emerald weapon normal and start from there
So materia all the way basically, unless you want specific crafting materials
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
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
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?
crafter gear is a loaded question
you either have to go really deep or not deep at all
Crafting “BiS” is mainly how little high quality materials you want to use and how fast you want your rotations to be
a pretty decent set of gear is the white scrip gear
it's good enough to craft like 90% of the things
I understand theres a lot of nuisance, but is there some general tips for someone just getting into crafting?
Being at the bare minimum Craftsmanship and Control while melding maximum or near-max CP is good enough for the most part
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
ok so handsaint seems like a good idea
yeah handsaint is great
Note that full Handsaint can’t do 4-star crafting though
is there a huge gap between handsaint and BiS?
it's purchaseable within a few weeks' worth of white scrips and will last you for a while
It suffers too much from low Control and low CP
yeah what wynne said
whats 4 star crafting sorry?
Basically stat requirement tiers at level caps
Ah
unfortunately there's no in-between
so if I want to take it slow Handsaint -> crafted BiS
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
sounds like i can make decent money selling people crafting materia then
what usually sells?
or does it flucutate too much
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
Do the types matter? for example I know battle gear crits are usually in demand and piety isnt
Best to always double check the prices of the grade 7/8 materia to make sure you’re getting the most valuable ones
command is what a lot of crafters will want
The order in terms of general price is Control > CP/Craftsmanship
cool
it's not unheard of to blow over 100 tier 7s pentamelding a single piece
that's literally like a mil that went poof
whats the point where craft > handsaint, as soon as base materia is put in or after the first overmeld?
Can someone explain me how collectability stat for ishgard restoration works?
Filling up the visible slots and first overmeld beat out Handsaint most of the time
collectability is the same thing as quality
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
I see so the closer the bar is to HQ to better the collectability?
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
ah I see
the craft itself tells you how much collectability you are currently at
I understand better now
so once you reach your desired collectability you can just complete the craft
thanks
how much does a fenrir mount sell for?
You can’t.
fairly sure the mount is untradeable
depends how dedicated you are
challenge log + weekly fashion report is like 100k right there
that still 10 weeks
add in daily and weekly cactpot
just to touch on this, scrip gear is usually unmeldable so its usually surpassed by the first overmeld
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
sounds like its probably better to head straight to aestethes then make up the money by spending the scrips on materia?
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
Seems like I cant make anything of the current tier without penta tho right?
unless you plan to craft a lot, investing pentamelding is kinda of costly and not worth it
A little background is im looking into this to supply my own potions and food
for the svage tier
but yes this tier's stuff requires HQ premats despite being pentamelded
so its super close
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
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
chicken thigh is white scrips item only?
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
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
Yes
according to a dps calc even on BiS I lose..11dps
you also lose some vitality
compared to chicken fetticine
How much Crysta is the 1 month sub? with 1 character.
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
yeah probably
but the hp difference is at least a couple k hp
Are the elite marks worth anything
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?
not exactly
sausage and sauerkraut still requires timed nodes
HQing it may not require full pentameld though
!faq subprice
1300 crysta per month
Yeah im just trying to be economical here
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
yeah, unless you are serious about crafting the ilvl 500 is definitely enough hehe
thats not very fun at all
people submit their own macros to teamcraft
lets say I want a macro for collectibles at least
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
Hello, is there any way someone could help me identify the gear in an image I found?
post a screenshot here or in #glamour-discussion
i'll post it in glamour, thank you!
ok im guessing its on community rotations, what should I be inputting?
https://puu.sh/H49Nv.png
oh right
what are you trying to craft
what collectible specifically
teamcraft likes to do macros by the required quality/stats
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?
but if you're trying to craft something level 70 or under you can just press trained eye
yes, dungeons that are at level cap reward next to no exp
either do the level 59 or the 61 dungeon
Ohhh that explains it! So what do you recommend for lvl 60 to 61? Just wait for tomorrow and do dailies again?
lv 59 hehe
run the 59 dungeon
or go do potd
or go do some stormblood beast tribe dailies
like the ananta
Is spirit extract a safe-ish dump for allegories? since I know theyre used in the potions and all so demand would be constant?
Silly question, how do I get Allagan Tomestone of Revelations again?>
Are you level 80?
the most lucrative ways are hunt trains and daily roulettes
I'm level 80 yeah, and hunt trains?
expert roulette in particular
Level 80 content in general gives them out
If you do nothing but expert roulette you cap out in revelations in 5 days just FYI
My 80 dungeon roulette is locked because my item level isn't 440... but i somehow have 420 Revelations xD
Other roulettes give them out too at 80
ouch u need some gear upgrades, maybe some allegory gear or buy on market?
Oh, I have the Dying Gasp Trial unlocked... that one is 80
I assume you havent finished the MSQ then?
all other roulettes gives revelations too 🤔
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!
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
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
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
for mining are u able to exchange regular for HQ?
Nope
Shifu
allows u to cast faster
when u use shifu, u get a buff in cast time, and other stuff
what is the cap ilevel for retainers ?
what hes saying is ur able to just cast faster etc for 40 sec rather than using jinpu first
currently
!faq retainerbp
Later skills make it a lot easier to get bulk HQ items
i know
do ppl sell hq items
So you dont drop buffs. Using it on Gekko lets you skip 2 gcds and by that time, Jinpis duration is the longest since you applied it last
!action unearth iii
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.
ah
And as for HQ it depends on the items
ohhh I see now, because the combo ending in Gekko applies the Jinpu buff and the combo applying Shifu has a lot less time at that points, thank you Vinyl and Ryuu
what happens to the materia in the original item if you augment an equip
gets destroyed
Gone
pull them out before you augment
Does the Fatebreaker always do the same kinda pattern? 3 in a row, which makes a kinda X-shaped aoe?
For prismatic? There's always 3 clones all next to each other
So if I'm running and finally meet one, I can just back up a little and always be in the safe spot?
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
Basically...check either side for a clone to double check
I ask because I have a hard time visualizing the aoe lines after running around
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?
Once the clone visually disappears you're generally safe
yo when can i get that crownblade weapon
like do i gotta finish shadowbringers to grab it orrr like
i want it lol
think i just finished stormblood
You need to finish base Shadowbringers and complete the lv70 24man quest line
Its the Shadowbringers relic
Yes
coo
If your license is steam, then downloading the windows launcher shouldn’t mess up steam’s launcher.
Can you share a picture of your mogstation license and subscription stuff? Just in case it’s something else.
Basically everything in this example picture of mine
is the nier automata raids and stuff still available in game or was it a limited time event?
It’s ingame forever

So how do you fight ||Ultimate Bahamut?||
You need to clear the prerequisite Savage Raids then talk to the Wandering Minstrel(might be dramaturge) in kugane near its market board.
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
what kind of armor does aymark wear and the attendants in eulmore in general wear?
If you go into Garland Tools (website), you can see the equipment for almost evry npc in the game
like the white and gold armor
aymeric's armor specifically is purchased with real money on the mog station
field commander's coat it's called
says someone called calamity salvager has it for 1000 gil?
but then says quest reward?
?
Its a pvp achievement reward
You can only repurchase it from a calamity salvager if you've already obtained the achievement
ah I see
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?
what is seal rock campaign victory? a victory in that specific map?
just a regular frontline victory?
@opal silo can select the tank from your party list and in your target bar it will show what your target is targeting
Ohhhh
This shouldn't matter too much in dungeons since you should be aoeing everything if you can
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.
what does one do....when they're capped on poetics but don't really need to get any gear using them?
im new and im trying to find a social free company
long story short, since they nerfed demicrystals should just go for the seal exchange or sell soil on the marketboard
