Gotta keep trying, it’s not 100%

spiral echo
#

upon opening the lvl 70 weapon coffer it says that it contains gear unequippable by your current class/job. but when i hover over it in my inventory it claims that the weapon type is determined by current job or class at time of opening. Why does it not work?

wheat plume
#

Tokens are the currency I get at the tribes, right?

obsidian patio
#

What’s the exact coffer and what job are you?

spiral echo
#

I am a samurai and its just a regular level 70 weapon coffer

obsidian patio
#

Tokens are more of a general term. In this context it’s the item you’re needing the FC3 demimateria for

raven sage
#

sam doesn't have a weapon for the coffer to give

#

sam doesn't have a weapon for the coffer to give

twilit arch
#

its not a level 70 weapon, its an item level 70 weapon

spiral echo
twilit arch
#

The equip level is 50

spiral echo
#

ohhh makes sense

wheat plume
#

Do I need a minimum desynt skill to get more chances? I haven't done desynth more than 10 times in all the game

obsidian patio
#

Having a high level gives you better odds of FC3, so indirectly yes

wheat plume
#

but with almost 0 lvl, do I still have any real chances of getting it?

obsidian patio
#

I don’t think it works like a scale, more of a binary “you’ll get it at a low rate”/“you’ll get it at a higher rate” once you’re over the listed amount

#

The slow and easy way of leveling up desynth is to greed on tons of dungeon equipment and to desynth all of it

#

Gets up all of them but ALC/CUL for the most part

wheat plume
#

haha, great, I have TONS of it and didnt know what to do with them

wheat plume
#

Someone wrote here 5 minutes ago that desynth bridesmaid items that an NPC sells near Uldah aetherite can give me Fieldcraft Demimateria III too.
Are the chances higher than desynth artisians gear?
Who's the NPC who sells them? I can't find him/her.

obsidian patio
#

From my personal testing, they felt pretty equal

#

The bridesmaid stuff is from the vendor closest to the big aetheryte

#

Artisan comes from grand company or the guy you’re trying to get the master craft 2 books from

wheat plume
obsidian patio
#

The one past that, lemme get a pic

👍

wheat plume
#

thanks for everything guys, I've been asking here for hours each week since I started 3 months ago, without all your help, I couldn't be enjoying the game

nova umbra
#

should be where Brangwine is I think?

ionic hazel
#

Alexander raids were in stormblood right

faint flare
#

Heavensward

nova umbra
#

HW, omega is stormblood

faint flare
#

Heavensward

#

Omega was stormblood

ionic hazel
#

oh

#

thanks

#

I'm leveling a Gunbreaker at level 60, i have full shire gear. Should i full pull all mobs when i run dungeons?

#

Dungeons for my level that is

faint flare
#

Always pull at least 2 packs. More if you're feeling comfortable

#

You have plenty of cooldowns to mass pull basically any dungeon post like 50

proper magnet
#

I mean, im fine to pull loads. I'm more concerned about how squishy i may be

#

Right

faint flare
#

Use your defensives

proper magnet
#

Yeah

faint flare
#

Thats why they're there

#

Cycle one by one and you can mass pull any dungeon

wheat plume
#

the extra exp for loging out in cities is for mobs I kill inside dungeons too?

faint flare
#

Yes

wheat plume
#

also for bosses in main scenario roulette?

proper magnet
#

Thanks. Last time i played was in 5.1 leveling a WAR from 70-80 and often i would die in mass pulls

#

And i wasn't missing CDs

raw granite
#

Is there anywhere to see like class payrates and stuff ? Like job popularity ?

proper magnet
#

Just a case of the healing not keeping up?

faint flare
#

Healer was a monkey

proper magnet
#

And by often i mean.....sometimes lul

faint flare
#

Post Nascent flash, warrior never dies

#

You just Nascent > Chaotic cyclone for Lul full hp

proper magnet
#

Cool, so ill blame the healers if i die leveling this Gunbreaker 😄

faint flare
#

You can also blame the DPS If they're trash and killing things slowly

#

Mass pulls are a team effort

proper magnet
#

Cool, just came back to the game after quite some time off. Wanna tank but abit of anxiety

#

Thanks for the answers

obsidian patio
raw granite
#

That's still something. Where can I find that ?

obsidian patio
#

FFXIVcensus and probably another one out there

raw granite
#

If my high lvl job is a HoH job, can I still unlock the level-gated jobs like dancer, machinist, drk and such ?

faint flare
#

Heavensward jobs require story progress to heavensward but otherwise yes

raw granite
#

Ah shit well gotta do that then

#

Really wanted to gunbreak...

twilit arch
#

gunbreaker doesn't have msq requirements

#

you just need to be lvl 60 and own shadowbringers

oh okay cool

#

thanks !

#

"a disciple of war or magic job at level 60" ah shit

#

saw it coming tho

#

On another note entirely : I've found an FC I'd like to join on some discord, how do I apply ingame ?

open coral
#

You need to be on the same server, but as long as you meet that requirement, you can either search them up on the Lodestone and submit an application there, or find someone who is part of that FC and ask them for an invitation.

obsidian patio
#

If they have a house you can also apply at the house’s placard

open coral

raw granite
#

good call

lime geode
#

Once you hit 40, which beast tribes are worth doing? It's not clear to me which are for battle leveling and which are for crafters.

obsidian patio
#

All but ixal are combat

#

IMO the Amaljaa and Sahagin have the least annoying dailies

lime geode
#

Perfect, thanks

unkempt vortex
#

Is the game down? I thought the forums where getting the maintenence.

leaden ginkgo
#

Where can I sell allagan gold pieces?

unkempt vortex
#

@leaden ginkgo at any of the shops

cold crescent
#

yo

#

curious

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks

cold crescent
#

can i buy triple triad stuff off the auction house

unkempt vortex
#

I think it's triangle you have to press, it says on the bottom of the shop after you click the option to buy things

unkempt vortex
#

@obsidian patio ty, must be my wifi then, although I'm not having issues otherwise.

obsidian patio
#

@cold crescent all cards are untradeable

plucky ether
#

Is there a certain point in the story I need to progress to in order to use level and story skips?

silver ruin
#

so, i cant teleport to my fc house on my alt but i have teleport unlocked, there is a house, but its not showing up on my teleport list

#

is there a way to fix that

plucky ether
#

Thanks

smoky hawk
#

is there any way to increase the odds of "rare" things appearing on nodes? Like seeds?

plucky ether
#

I'm buying to game again on a different PSN, do I need a new Square Enix account?

agile laurel
silver ruin
#

nevermind, the dude who sold it to me didnt stick an aetheryte there

agile laurel
#

i'm almost certain it's not because you haven't unlocked the ward

#

ah

#

that'd do it lol

silver ruin
#

thats exactly why :D the alt is lv 2

obsidian patio
zinc orbitBOT
#
**Luck of the Mountaineer** : lvl 55 MIN (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Uncovers a gathering node's hidden items. Can only be executed after HQ chain #2.

obsidian patio
#

Need to gather 3 HQ items in a row to use it, though

#

Which you can only easily do at 63

#

!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.

smoky hawk
#

ohh I just need to do my level 55 quest lmao

#

ahh

#

for some lower level nodes I should already be able to do that

#

thanks!

plucky ether
#

Can there be two different PSN accounts connected a Mogstation account?

obsidian patio
#

Nope

tight sky

Hey uhh, I'm kind of new and the Novice Chat doesn't really help, at least for me. I'm going on a White Mage right now, just grabbed the WHM Soul Crystal, but my questions are:

I'm level 33, if I switch to CNJ or WHM the level stays the same, so I assumed WHM is basically the continuation of CNJ. Now, there are no WHM quests that I can find to actually advance through the class so I was wondering if they will appear or if I have to find them in specific places (Can't find locations on the internet either, and the quest information that I see doesn't say the level or more details, just that it's a quest for WHM).

Also, what Tank class would be recommendable for me to start? I want to start a Tank class together with the WHM to have some resistance for solo levelling, what should I go for?

hasty musk
#

as for what tank job, there's only two for you to pick at that level, and they're both easy

wheat plume
#

What item can I desynth to get fieldcraft demimateria I and battlecraft demimateria I

marble dome
#

tanks dont increase defense on other jobs

#

this isnt wow or ffxi

tidal yarrow
#

what was the command to disable "cannot use yet"

#

when spamming actions

tight sky
marble dome
#

the only command i know only works when you macro actions

tight sky
#

It's realy obnoxious to only be able to cast STONE

hasty musk
#

you won't get much difference early on as tank

#

you'll be pressing 3-4 buttons as opposed to 1-2 for a while

marble dome
#

early tank is just fast blade>riot blade>repeat

hasty musk
#

past 60-70 it gets more varied when they get actual burst phases

#

but until then, yeah, it's just the 1 2 3 combo 90% of the time

tight sky
#

Still better than staying still and casting stone and cure when I'm about to die because I'm literally paper on solo level instances

hasty musk
#

fair

tight sky
#

So, what class should I go for?

marble dome
#

if you are paper, you need new armor

tight sky
#

You mentioned the skills and the word Tank but there's no class named Tank, obviously.

GLA/MRD

open coral
#

The level 1 tank classes are Marauder (Warrior) and Gladiator (Paladin)

lone spruce
#

Can you level classes through NG+?

marble dome
#

no

open coral
#

No

tight sky
#

Thanks, I will go Marauder then

lone spruce
#

Aww

tight sky
#

Or, nah I'll just go Gladiator, seems cooler

#

But anyway, thanks for answering my questions

lone spruce
#

Imagine if you had unlimited access to MSQ exp

open coral
#

GLD/PLD is your typical "sword and board" holy-themed tank

#

MRD/WAR is giant axe berserker type

hasty musk
#

Fell Cleave

#

brrrrrrrrrrrrr

tight sky
#

I think it matches my vibe, I like being a healer and If I'm going something apart from that I'd like to have the same vibe

#

So a Paladin is my kind of class I guess

wheat plume
#

Who sells Masterbooks III

marble dome
#

either mor dhona or idyllshire

azure frost
#

How do you change data centers?

faint flare
#

Well paladin doesn't actively use its heal unless your healer is literally afk

open coral
#

As a WHM main, addressing your concern about being "paper" in early play - once you hit level 35 and get your chocobo as a combat companion, it's much nicer to play a healer in the open world.

hasty musk
wheat plume
faint flare
#

18$

tight sky
#

Having the Chocobo fight alongside with me is REALLY helpful

azure frost
#

Do you have to pay everytime? I swear i had a friend who switched his character from EU to NA for free

tight sky
#

I can just make it tank

open coral
#

Nah, don't spec your chocobo tank first.

tight sky
#

Or even if it's not tanking, the extra damage really helps

faint flare
#

Transferring from a CONGESTED server to PREFERRED is free

marble dome
#

spec choco as healer first

tight sky
#

Really? How should I spec it then

open coral
#

Even as a healer, you always spec it as healer first. Their ability to grab aggro is kind of shit.

faint flare
#

Otherwise you pay money

azure frost
#

Ok i see

tight sky
#

oooh

faint flare
#

Healer chocobo covers all sustain so you can dps

tight sky
#

How do I reset SP points for companions? risa

open coral
#

Once it hits rank 10 you'll be able to continue ranking it up by feeding it an item called Thavnarian Onion to let it overcap up to rank 20.

faint flare
#

Reagan pepper

open coral
#

So ultimately you can spec it to all three.

faint flare
#

Can buy from your grand company when you rank high enough

marble dome
#

also you get a free set of chocobo armor if you get to rank 10 in any chocobo action tree

sullen phoenix
#

So im new to healing and not that good with the role skills however I am enjoying healing.
I would like to test out the Astrologion should I wait to max my scholar before trying Astro?

marble dome
#

go ahead and try astro

tight sky
#

Also, am I the only one that got teary with Gridania music? Every time I hear that nostalgic nature vibe I get so melancholic and it feels really nice.

open coral
#

You can pick up AST if you want. Aside from weapons, you can simply reuse the same gear you used while leveling SCH.

sullen phoenix
#

I see. Thanks!

tight sky
#

Btw how many jobs can you have? Like, carpenter and that, is there a limit?

obsidian patio
#

All of them

marble dome
#

all

open coral
#

You can be all jobs on a single character

marble dome
#

go ahead and try them all out

tight sky
#

I don't mean like the classes, I think I heard it's possible to have every single class soul crystal, I mean like: Leatherworker, Weaver, etc. Can I also have them all?

open coral
#

Yes

tight sky
#

Bruh

open coral
#

Those also count as jobs (although they're referred to as professions)

tight sky
#

That's cool

austere agate
#

Just to be sure. Scholar is the best method to level up summoner, right?

marble dome
#

yes

warped nest
#

Scholar, as a healer, can get faster dungeon queue

open coral
#

It's "best" only in the sense that as a healer you'll tend to have shorter dungeon queues.

tight sky
#

Sorry, my mistake

warped nest
#

If you don't want to play scholar at all, just grinding it out a summoner is fine

tight sky
#

What's Scholar

marble dome
#

(protip: dont level 2 battle classes at once from msq, you will spend like quadruple the time)

warped nest
#

It is a healer

marble dome
#

scholar and summoner share arcanist

#

thats 1 class

robust crow
#

MSQ gives way more exp than you need for 1 class, supplemented with dailies and you'll be able to keep up two or three classes with MSQ all the way to 80

tidal yarrow
#

is praetorium around 35 minutes?

robust crow
#

the cutscenes alone are like 29 minutes (someone timed it)

#

you should plan for 40-50 mins

#

i'm usually able to finish one episode of anime and be most of the way through the 2nd one

austere agate
marble dome
#

its fine to do it

manic flare
#

you can actually skip the cutscens in praetorium

#

and make it much shorter

austere agate
#

It's illegal

manic flare
#

but i recommend u go into praetorium with 4 other people who know what they are doing

marble dome
#

square enix does not condone doing this action

manic flare
#

really?

marble dome
#

they do not

manic flare
#

i was in prae, and 4 people consistently skipped the cutscene and they just killed the bosses while everyone else was still in cutscene

austere agate
#

You can change the dub to make gaius scene shorter, but if you do that glitch you can get banned

manic flare
#

so that's why i know you can skip every cutscene

austere agate
#

They made prae cutscenes unskipabble for a reason

faint flare
#

Yes but its a exploit

#

And reportable

warped nest
#

It is not like msq roulette is the only way to gain exp

manic flare
#

@faint flare really, cuz i tried the method they told me to do

warped nest
#

Either do it, and deal with the dungeon time

#

Or do something else

tidal yarrow
#

msq dungeon just shouldn't exist

faint flare
#

Yes

manic flare
#

does that mean i can get banned?

faint flare
#

You're not meant to be able to skip them

obsidian patio
#

If people report you for it, yes.

manic flare
#

shit

robust crow
#

most people aren't going to report you for it

tidal yarrow
#

sprouts barely know how to walk to the next boss they wouldn't report you don't worry

robust crow
#

but don't go around telling people to do it

#

if someone exploits for you just take the lemons and quietly leave

manic flare
#

how do i know if someone reported me?

robust crow
#

well you're not banned

manic flare
#

would i get a notification?

robust crow
#

i assume

faint flare
#

You'll have a GM on your ass

robust crow
#

so try to keep it that way

manic flare
#

how long does it take for a GM to review a report?

#

when would i know?

faint flare
#

Whenever a GM talks to you/you spawn in The jail

round ermine
#

Sup, I need ilvl 142 for the final dungeon in Heavensward but atm im 131

austere agate
#

Just to know.
Could you be reported if you lost your internet connection for a moments and you log in when it returns, but wait for the scene to finish for everyone else?

round ermine
#

What's the best way of getting 142?

faint flare
#

Do your job quests

robust crow
#

has your story been rewarding you with gear?

faint flare
#

You get gear

robust crow
#

or that too, your job quests

faint flare
#

You get i200 gear from your job quests

round ermine
#

Oh I think I didn't do the lvl60 one ye

faint flare
#

Always do your job quests like immediately

round ermine
#

Cheers

austere agate
daring bone
#

Is there anywhere i can see the population of worlds on the crystal data server? not trying to make a character on a dead world lol

jovial tide
#

What's the flight unit mount called?

manic flare
#

is it considered an exploit if you instead of riding the magitek armor in praetorium, do the shortcut instead?

faint flare
#

No servers are dead

faint flare
warped nest
#

It is not an exploit

#

It is just being a bad teammate

#

Assuming you meant waiting for people to do the heavy lifting in exploring the dungeon, then you use the in-dungeon teleporter to get to the boss room

manic flare
#

ive seen players get to the wall where you supposed to blast with the magitek cannon before the magitek moutns arrive

jovial tide
#

Oh, I kept looking for stuff related to the nier alliance series since I kept thinking it looked like a flight suit from there

manic flare
#

i assume they did a shortcut

faint flare
#

You just walk back

jovial tide
#

Thanks

austere agate
#

Praetorium is a disaster anyways

manic flare
#

castrum merdianium is even more disaster

#

at least praetorium is fairly straightforward and linear

#

i have no idiea what to do with castrum meridianum

#

there's this one part in castrum where cid has to blast something for you

#

i never know how to trigger that

faint flare
#

Cid has to walk there himself

obsidian patio
#

Kill all the enemies

#

He sometimes gets stuck on a straggler

austere agate
#

Praetorium needs a rework

manic flare
#

i remember reading here someone said SE was planning to get rid of MSQ roulette all together

austere agate
#

That would suck

faint flare
#

They mentioned and bounced ideas around Changes that could be made

#

We'll see next expansion what they'll do with it, if anything

austere agate
#

I hope prae gets reworked

warped nest
#

Technically one of them can be broken down into single player instance + a trial

jovial tide
#

I agree with that as someone who recently started the game

austere agate
#

My first time there was one of the worst experiences i had with this game

jovial tide
#

Would like to see it moved to a trust system

warped nest
#

Regardless, this is more of a discussion topic

faint flare
#

Thats one idea they bounced

warped nest
#

Than a question/help topic

spring oasis
#

My FC is slowly going complete lalafell, how can I save them from it and show them the light?

wheat plume
#

What's the quest for unlocking Idlyshire house of splendors? I think I've started it (the guy in mordhona sent me to foundation) but I cant identify the quest in my journal, and Idlyshire house of splendors isnt available for me yet.

spring oasis
#

wiki says
Players must complete the quest Inscrutable Tastes by talking to Morgayne in Foundation (x10,y10), and Go West, Craftsman by talking to Lydirlona in Mor Dhona (x22, y6). Players must have completed The Better Half previously.

Unlocking The Splendors Exchange will add another entry to your Timers list named "Rowena's House of Splendors". This is set to "reset" daily at 20:00 (8:00 PM) UTC, and your local TZ reset time can be found in the window.

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Splendors_Exchange

#

i think thats it

wheat plume
#

Yes, I think its Go West, Craftsman, I started it, but it isnt in my journal, and Im sure I didnt finished it

pure bough
#

Some of my items have a green background. I read somewhere that they are sellable to my great company (adders) for tokens or something. Where do I sell them to get these tokens?

wheat plume
#

no, its not that, Lydirlona initially gave 3 quests, I started 1 of them , and havent finished it yet, but i dont know where it is

vernal urchin
wheat plume
#

Oh, its the quest Beloved of the Builder, I se I already completed it, but what did I unlock with it?

pure bough
#

ok, so I have to rank up my GC got it

#

ty

daring jetty
#

is it possible to turn off a specific hotbar only on specific classes?

faint flare
#

You could make a gear set swap macro with a Hotbar hide/show attached to it. Or have a unshared hotbar and put stuff on it on ome job and turn off unused slots, which will then hide that hotbar on other jobs since you have nothing on it

crimson gale
#

hello guys, new player to FF14 online and im just trying to get a good grasp before I start of what are good classes or needed classes for endgame, I know its early but I would like ot know what are good classes to pick, i dont really care what type it is, just something thats useful for endgame or classes that are mostly looked for parties at endgame? Thanks!

forest laurel
#

all jobs are good

#

that's the thing about this game

#

what matters more is what you find fun

crimson gale
#

hmm thats interesting, not normal in other mmos haha, is there any job that is kinda of a healer/dps? or healer is strictly support?

raw granite
#

Arcanist

#

Which you can later "spec" into healer or dps

forest laurel
#

there's no proper support jobs

robust crow
#

every class in the game is locked to a strict role

#

there's no "healer + DPS"

forest laurel
#

every job in this game is a dps anyway

robust crow
#

they are either a healer or a DPS

forest laurel
#

healers are green dps
tanks are blue dps
dps are dps

robust crow
#

some classes like red mage have additional utility (like easy battle rezzes) that can be considered support

#

but they are primarily a DPS

#

and are treated like a DPS

crimson gale
# robust crow they are either a healer or a DPS

okay that was mostly the question, its just in TRee of savior i used to play DPS/healer, which was one of the best dps and healers at the same time, but okay every class is strictly for one purpose

raw granite
#

Bard and dancer are support-y jobs

robust crow
#

bard and dancer are still treated like DPS

forest laurel
#

yeah

raw granite
#

Yeah, but in effect

robust crow
#

but a good portion of bard/dancer DPS does come from giving out raid buffs

crimson gale
#

okay so ill go with a tank i guess, or tanks arent very useful later on as everyone is geared up
?

raw granite
#

crazy what a 1% dmg buff can do

robust crow
#

every class is good

forest laurel
#

every job is useful in some way

robust crow
#

period

forest laurel
#

yeah

robust crow
#

you don't need to ask "is this class good"

#

the answer is "yes"

forest laurel
#

every job is good if you put the time in

crimson gale
#

ok ok, im guessing tank is also a slower class to build like any other mmo because of the low dmg?

forest laurel
#

no

crystal bluff
#

if you dont have a tank on your party, you wont be doing current content

#

also no

robust crow
#

no

forest laurel
#

all jobs level at the same speed

crimson gale
#

really? thats nice

raw granite
#

Tanks have really good dmg actually

open ember
#

You can do all the content regardless of class

raw granite
#

Compared to other MMOs

robust crow
#

tanks and healers generally do about 40-60% of the DPS that a pure DPS will do

sullen phoenix
#

I finally made it to idyllshire I should use my poetics to purchase the shire set right? I’m level 65 and currently working with the Ironworks set

robust crow
#

so you are expected to be doing as much damage as possible regardless of what class or job you are playing

raw granite
#

like I'd rather do the MSQ with marauder than thaumaturge, at least I don't die lmao

forest laurel
#

nah it's more like, 60-75% at least imo

robust crow
#

no it's definitely 40-60%, it's only 60% if your DPS are bad

crimson gale
#

nice nice, well i guess ill do a tank or healer

forest laurel
#

also unlike other mmos, healers are expected to do dmg here

crimson gale
#

okay okay

robust crow
#

this is just for reference

crimson gale
#

ESO healers are kinda like that so good stuff, ill do one of those 2

robust crow
#

tanks and healers are doing about 12-13k DPS

#

a strong DPS is doing about 20k

#

so exactly 40-60%

forest laurel
#

hm

robust crow
#

healers and tanks are likely to drop in damage if they need to do other stuff i.e. heal or mitigate

patent citrus
#

what ilvl is that?

robust crow
#

this is for the top 5% of all savage parses

raw granite
#

huh I thought warrior and whm would be higher

robust crow
#

fflogs doesn't track ilevel

#

also for reference

crimson gale
#

welll thanks for all the answers guys

robust crow
crimson gale
#

ill start up the game and get on playing

robust crow
#

on the far right column you can see how popular classes are

#

white mage is by far the most popular class

#

bard is the least popular

#

note this is for END GAME RAIDING

#

it does not reflect 99% of the rest of the game

crimson gale
#

is the healer bard? or there are multiple healers

robust crow
#

bard is a DPS

#

our 3 healers are white mage, scholar, and astrologian

crimson gale
#

lol

#

okay then white mage i guess

slate arrow
#

Do note that ffxiv works on a fixed comp of 2/2/4

robust crow
#

yeah, that is a good point

#

the healer and tank numbers are going to be inflated as a result

slate arrow
#

So because white mage is just Stupid Good at being a healer it's usually one of the two healers in ffxiv raids

#

Scholar and Astro both just aren't as easy to play well because they're more active

robust crow
slate arrow
#

Scholar especially

robust crow
#

here's how the top level looks like for only healers

forest laurel
#

is this rdps?

robust crow
#

yes it's rdps

#

but i'm drawing inferences based on number of parses

patent citrus
#

I think astrologian benefit from getting those ranged card all the time 👀

#

although it's just a guess

warped nest
#

That's like a... What 2 percent difference?

crimson gale
#

i usually look also at guides for leveling, class, etc.. should I do it on this game or nah? i kinda wanted to go in blind but then again can you fix up mistakes easily?

warped nest
#

Is it 2 percent give or take?

robust crow
#

it's impossible to make mistakes in ff14

forest laurel
#

there's no real guides for levelling needed

robust crow
#

just follow your story

forest laurel
#

first job, just do your story. it'll give you enough xp

#

alt jobs, just spam dungeons and roulettes.

raw granite
#

Try to get into a preferred server

warped nest
#

@crimson gale just to be sure we are on the same page, XIV doesn't have stat growth

forest laurel
#

that too

raw granite
#

you'll get double xp on nearly everything it's bonkers

warped nest
#

So, if you level say, a Mage for a long time, it won't skew your magic stat

#

And make your character unviable as a tank

#

All stat comes from your equipment

crimson gale
#

okay so its not like a traditional mmo

#

its more gearbased

#

than actual char stats

warped nest
#

Yeah, your character gain no stats

crimson gale
#

oaky just level then

warped nest
#

Leveling up give them new skills and let them wear better gear

crimson gale
#

ok ok

#

also if I do a trial account, can I later upgrade it to complete edition? wanna try it out just to check it out

warped nest
#

There is no way to make permanent mistake

crimson gale
#

but seems like fun

warped nest
#

Yes you can go free trial

crimson gale
#

gonna see till like level 20-30 if i like it ill just upgrade to full

warped nest
#

Just take note that free trial has social and inventory limitations, everything else are fully available to you

round ermine
crystal bluff
#

^

round ermine
#

since you can get up to 60 for free

crystal bluff
#

you can go all the way to 60

warped nest
#

Play until lvl 55-56 story

round ermine
#

And that's basically 100 hours of playtime

crimson gale
#

okay

warped nest
#

Oh, yeah, very important

#

Your story progression/level gates basically everything

crimson gale
#

then ill just do story till 55-6 like u said then ill see

raw granite
#

I upgraded at like lvl 40 because I wanted access to the social features and more inventory

warped nest
#

Your character level is not your story level, btw

round ermine
warped nest
robust crow
#

note that the free trial restricts social features

robust crow
#

so you can't join a guild or invite people to parties

round ermine
robust crow
#

that's the main reason to consider just upgrading from the free trial

round ermine
#

Which is the base game

#

That is level 1 to 50

warped nest
#

ARR is A Realm Reborn, it is the lvl 1-50 story contents

crimson gale
#

well do i really need to party up for story?

warped nest
#

No

round ermine
crimson gale
#

party up is more for dungeons no?

#

raids etc

warped nest
#

Almost everything can be match made

wheat plume
#

How can I get Near Eastern Antique Component Materials? Do I need a lvl 60 gatherer to get them? Or is there any other way?

round ermine
#

So it's not a problem

#

The only thing that will be hard it's if you wanna play with a friend

crimson gale
#

okay, yeah ill just play that for the time being, if i enjoy ill just buy its no biggie

#

im playing solo

lost grove
#

How long will exa gear last me?

warped nest
crimson gale
#

so its all good i guess

round ermine
#

Yeah! Have fun 🙂

crimson gale
#

okay thanks again guys, really helped

wheat plume
round ermine
warped nest
#

@crimson gale just while we are at this, starting race has negligible stat difference

crimson gale
#

so dont really matters what race?

warped nest
#

So pick race based on personal taste

crimson gale
#

okay

warped nest
#

Have fun

crimson gale
#

ty 😄

round ermine
#

Most people think 1-50 is bad, I thought it was comfy and cool. The game is probably a bit boring until level 20, then it picks up a bit but it's kinda slow until level 50

warped nest
#

Should be, Khell

round ermine
#

I really suggest you play trough it if you're unsure

#

I started playing couple of weeks ago and really wanted to quit during parts of the initial storyline ahaha

#

But i'm glad I didn't 🙂

crimson gale
#

picks up later

round ermine
#

So keep that in mind!

crimson gale
#

so ill endure lol

robust crow
#

depending on what class you choose to start as

#

it will feel even more boring

crimson gale
#

i think it was white mage or something like that? the healer

robust crow
#

white mage (conjurer) only has 3 damage buttons for their entire leveling rotation

crimson gale
#

or tank

robust crow
#

so you are going to spam 1 button like....literally over 10000 times

crimson gale
#

lmao

#

well AA here i come!

round ermine
#

What other mmos did you play?

robust crow
#

of course WHM is much more fun in dungeons where they have to actually heal

#

but when you're leveling get used to spamming 1 button

open coral
#

WHM has five (total) damaging abilities.

raw granite
robust crow
#

lol

#

of those 5 buttons

crimson gale
#

ESO, Tree of savior, ragnarok, tales of pirates, aura kingdom, and a couple others cant remember now

robust crow
#

one is a DoT, two are on long cooldowns and don't unlock until late in the game, one's a spammable AOE and the other is a spammable ST

warped nest
#

Tank has more damage skills compared to healers, but their skill rotation are simpler compared to DPS

robust crow
#

so realistically you have two damage buttons 90% of the time

raw granite
#

Holy zenwoke

warped nest
#

Warrior, afaict, has the lowest effective button count, among the tank

crimson gale
robust crow
#

they are all good

#

play whichever one you like

round ermine
raw granite
#

It's all about flavour

round ermine
#

so shouldn't be a problem

crimson gale
#

okay okay

round ermine
#

Oh right ye

robust crow
raw granite
#

Don't forget the gunbreakers >:c

robust crow
#

in endgame popularity paladin is the most popular

raw granite
#

Jeez isn't WAR supposed to be the high damage one...

robust crow
#

damage wise, gunbreaker does the most, with paladin 2nd

open coral
#

WAR is a lot of self healing.

robust crow
#

note that the difference is literally less than 500 DPS

raw granite
#

(with gunbreaker)

wheat plume
#

Is there HQ version of Near Eastern Antique Component Materials ?

round ermine
#

I mean, tanks aren't supposed to do damage :^)

robust crow
#

it's very small

warped nest
#

No, Khell

robust crow
#

popularity right now goes PLD > DRK > GNB > WAR

raw granite
crimson gale
#

hmmm i do personally like tanks too

raw granite
#

Wow WAR is that low ?

robust crow
#

but don't let popularity skew your preference

#

play whatever tank looks the coolest to you

crimson gale
#

nah nah i dont care about popularity

raw granite
#

I mean I like going against the meta so that's cool

crimson gale
#

its between tank or healer, i like playing "support"

robust crow
#

there isn't a meta

round ermine
robust crow
round ermine
#

But thats just my personal preference

robust crow
#

this video is pinned

#

but I linked it here anyway

#

i suggest giving that video a watch

crimson gale
#

but for heavensward u need complete edition no? so just paly any dps and then switch

crystal bluff
#

no

crystal bluff
#

heavensward is in the trial

round ermine
#

Heavensward is included in the trial

patent citrus
#

good, just play what you like the most ^.^

#

people usually just choose aesthetically wise

warped nest
#

I like all of the tanks, they are all fun to me

round ermine
wheat plume
#

What's the Collectability number used for that appears while crafting?

patent citrus
#

it's quality hehe

round ermine
#

But as others have said play whatever you like most

wheat plume
#

it affects how I can craft it?

crimson gale
#

hmmmm thats tempting

#

will it not be too late at level 50 to get good gear for tank or not really?

patent citrus
#

the higher the quality, the higher chance you get the highest rewards

crimson gale
#

good gear comes in way later?

round ermine
patent citrus
#

never too late, play any role/class and switch when you want it

wanton lintel
#

Anyone got the binding coil trophy on the PS4 version ? What do I need to do to get it? Go through all bahamut coils?

robust crow
#

the game pretty much gives you gear

raw granite
#

Is it me or are actions liks addle or feint absolutely useless ?

robust crow
#

you don't have to worry about gear until max level

wanton lintel
#

It’s impossible to find a party for coil though

warped nest
#

They are situational, Ape

robust crow
wheat plume
robust crow
#

addle and feint are very strong

patent citrus
#

feint is for physical tank buster usually and addle usually for magical tank buster

warped nest
#

Yes, Khell

wheat plume
#

thxs

robust crow
#

particularly in savage raiding, but can be useful in other content

raw granite
#

huh, ok

robust crow
#

addle mitigates almost every raidwide in the game

#

feint helps mitigate auto attacks and most tankbusters

#

it's a way for your DPS to help with not getting the raid killed

#

although if you aren't doing savage or EX encounters then it's not like people were going to die anyway tbh

#

feint in particular is strong in our current savage tier, it mitigates the bleed from e11s

crimson gale
#

also for tank, as i saw someone say magical tank or phys tank, can you make a tank for all content with lets say 1 good gear set? or you will have to switch it up? Same question for like White mage, im guessing healer doesnt have to switch gear that much?

robust crow
#

addle's always been strong

robust crow
robust crow
#

you don't have to build a magic def set or whatever

agile laurel
#

magical and physical resistance on gear is not a thing

robust crow
#

healers specifically have options in how they want to gear

crimson gale
#

okay okay good to know

round ermine
robust crow
#

you either gear for max damage or you gear for max damage + a little extra MP regen

#

some healers also have the option to gear for spell speed

agile laurel
#

the only things that function like that for tanks is shit like drk Dark Mind which is a personal magic mitigation

crimson gale
#

in other mmos, u need certain gear for certain dungeons etc depending on the dmg the mobs have

robust crow
#

none of that in ff14

crimson gale
#

was wondering if that would happen here but seems like no

spring oasis
#

where can I get people for POTD I wanna just get glam shit like kinna gear

wheat plume
#

Is the max Collectability always 10% of the max Quality ?

robust crow
#

99% of all players are going to use 1 gear set only

#

for each class they play

#

some of the top 1% sweaty tryhards might use specific gear pieces to hunt a certain stat

crimson gale
#

okay well off i go to start up the game! Thanks for all the help peeps, really nice community

robust crow
#

like I used two caster sets last tier, one for spell speed and one for crit

crimson gale
#

oh last question, recommended server for EU anybody know?

robust crow
#

whichever server is preferred

#

pick that one

#

preferred servers give you double EXP bonus up to level 70 for every class

crimson gale
#

char carries along all servs in region?

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

No tag named roadto70 exists, Kupo!

robust crow
#

in ff14 we have datacenters and servers

#

anyone on the same datacenter can play together

steep heron
#

Chaos and Light are the data centers.
So pick a server in one of those groups.

#

!preferred chaos

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

List of preferred worlds for Chaos:
Omega

agile laurel
#

where other MMOs simply have regions and then worlds, FF14 has multiple 'datacenters' per region

robust crow
#

but you can only join guilds on your server

agile laurel
#

which contain worlds

steep heron
#

!preferred light

robust crow
#

too many cooks again

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

List of preferred worlds for Light:
Lich
Zodiark

robust crow
#

i'm dropping out

crimson gale
#

alrightt

warped nest
#

I want to point out of Preferred world is good to leveling multiple classes on one character, because of the exp boost

steep heron
#

So pick lich, zodiark or omega server

warped nest
#

That's the only reason to go preferred

crimson gale
#

guess its omega then

warped nest
#

While we are at this, you need to complete the level 10 class quest for your starting class

#

To unlock gearset

#

Which allows you to switch to different classes

#

Then you can visit guilds to unlock new classes

crimson gale
#

ah nice

#

im guessing i should stick to one class for now? or maybe a couple?

wheat plume
#

in the screen with Zhloe's face, whats the meaning of the 3 numbers under "Collectability", the first one is the same that's next to the item , but the other 2?
Also, the collectability rose to more than 500, why is it there 55?

warped nest
#

Whatever float your boats, Nemie

robust crow
#

i'd suggest picking two or three classes nemie

warped nest
#

Preferred world has exp boost, which makes it very comfy to juggle multiple classes at the same level as your story

robust crow
#

the story gives you enough exp to keep them all around the same level, provided you do your dailies

warped nest
#

@wheat plume take a screenshot

crimson gale
#

okay okay, i guess ill start out with healer and tank

robust crow
#

which is really just your daily dungeon once per day really

crimson gale
#

dont really wanna go too many

limber walrus
#

guys I just got the Chausses of Lost Antiquity and it barred me from rolling again on other loot (eden's promise: umbra)

forest laurel
#

that's normal

limber walrus
#

but I was trying to get the weapon and didn't realize I needed to roll on only one a week

warped nest
#

Yeah, that's how it works

robust crow
#

the weapon is automatic

forest laurel
#

if you want the token for the weapon, do e12n

#

eternity

limber walrus
#

ohh

forest laurel
#

it drops for everyone

warped nest
#

What they said

robust crow
#

the weapon will also cost you 1000 revelations

forest laurel
#

and you need 7 of those tokens

robust crow
#

which is a significant investment

wheat plume
#

What are the 219 and 382?
Also, the item rose to more than 500 while crafting, why is it there a 55?

limber walrus
#

okay okay I was thinking that I needed to drop the chausses to be able to get the weapon ... thanks tho

#

Thanks for clarification

warped nest
#

That's the reward tier, Khell

forest laurel
#

55 is the bare minimum

robust crow
forest laurel
#

yeah

twilit arch
#

55 is the min collectability, you get higher rewards at 219 and 382 (382 being max rewards)

forest laurel
#

if you reach a certain collectability, your rewards will increase

warped nest
#

If you turn in a Near Eastern at 230 collectible rating, then you get the reward from 219

robust crow
#

once you hit 382 you can just finish the craft, no need to increase it any further

wheat plume
#

the 6 turns in per week can be all crafted and by the same class?

robust crow
#

yes

warped nest
#

Yeah

robust crow
#

you can also change class after crafting it and turn it in as the other class

#

for exp

warped nest
#

Arrange/distribute them however you see fit

wheat plume
#

people said there are 12 per week, how can I get the other 6? Or is it from another npc post HW ?

warped nest
#

Yes

#

Other NPC

twilit arch
#

not for HW, no

wheat plume
#

from SB or ShB ?

warped nest
#

Zhloe is what you have for now

twilit arch
#

all the other custom delivery npcs are in sb and shb

leaden ginkgo
#

Hello everyone, I'd like to ask some stuff about Free companies/Guilds

wheat plume
#

ok

#

thxs

twilit arch
#

that said there is a second delivery npc in idyllshire, but he requires sb side quest to unlock

warped nest
#

Ask away, Kay

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm super new to the game, but I opened one and invited all my friends in, I was wondering what the best way to recruit without being... annoying is, and how to get the guild estate or whatever thats called

#

well "opened" my friend had one, invited me and gave me owner

plucky ether
#

I bought a level skip and a story skip, where do I find those?

leaden ginkgo
#

They're on the main cities iirc

plucky ether
#

Thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

I think thats how you get it atleast

#

should be.

wheat plume
#

Why is there an icon with moon shape at the end of exp bar?

robust crow
#

that means you are in a location that gives you rested exp

wheat plume
#

great, thxs

queen yoke
#

is there a way to know how a your edited character appearance is going to look with your items without using a fantasia first?

robust crow
#

use a retainer fantasia and set their appearance to your pre-set configuration

#

or make a new alt and have a friend link your items to you

queen yoke
#

so there only are workarounds

faint flare
#

They're the best ways, retainer fantasia is cheap and market boardable

queen yoke
#

yeah but I think you would need to level your retainer and make it have the classes leveled

faint flare
#

Well usually one retainer is your "main" job

queen yoke
#

I guess

#

I gotta level mine though

faint flare
#

Or just make alt and go to the market board/have friends/people link stuff

queen yoke
#

if you dont edit anything on your character the fantasia doesnt return right?

faint flare
#

The fantasia isn't consumed fully until you confirm changes

#

You can back out freely

queen yoke
#

but you have it on your inventory or does it stay like consumed but waiting to be used?

faint flare
#

It says consumed as an item but retains the option to change

#

People usually have a fantasia waiting for ages

queen yoke
#

hmm

crimson gale
#

sry for stupid question, read all the main class descriptions but cant really understand which one is healer, im guessing gladiator is tank cuz it says sword & shield but the healer idk if i didnt read properly but cant really guess lol, is it conjurer?

#

or arcanist?

#

i know its geared based but which is the starting one?

vernal urchin
#

Conjurer turns into white mage

crimson gale
#

^ thanks

patent citrus
#

open your character profile and sellect classes/job ^.^

vernal urchin
#

Arcanist turns into summoner, which is dps, and also scholer, the other healer

crimson gale
#

im at char creator still vielen, but what eternal doom said is my answer haha

patent citrus
#

ah my bad

crimson gale
#

thanks tho 😄

patent citrus
#

yeah, arcanist isn't a bad start, you can level 2 classes at the same time ^.^

#

you'll get scholar and summoner at the same time as lv 30

crimson gale
#

gonna do gladiator & conjurer

#

tank/healer

patent citrus
#

naisu

crimson gale
#

like supporting

vernal urchin
#

Just a heads-up, you won't be able to grab an alternate class until you get the one you started with through level 15 of the main story

young lintel
#

When did it change that trial accounts can't join FCs anymore?

faint flare
#

Since forever afaik

young lintel
#

Huh, my friend must have mixed up and thought he was a trial when he wasn't.

faint flare
#

Trial and the free days you get when buying are completely different

gritty oracle
#

Does "spells aspected to other elements can't be used" mean I'm free to use unaspected and physical damage?

faint flare
#

In what terms

#

All skills have a damage type

#

Not that it super matters outside of Eureka/bojza, Black mage, BLU libras and rdm embolden

gritty oracle
#

For a carnivale challenge, I have to clear Mastery of Fire

#

which means I can't use spells aspected to another element than fire. I'm assuming unaspected is fair game, but hb physical?

faint flare
#

Idk much about blue challenges so

#

Can always try it i guess

obsidian patio
#

Physical spells without an element should be fine

#

Though it’s been a long while since I’ve done Carnivale

vivid dagger
#

Quick WHM question, what is a good Spell Speed total to aim for? Leftover slots on my relic weap and deciding between SpS and Piety

gritty oracle
#

Physical wasn't an issue, thanks!

faint flare
#

Spell speed isn't prioritised

vivid dagger
#

should I slap on Piety then or a different stat entirely?

faint flare
#

Throw Det or DH onto it

vivid dagger
#

Det and CH are both maxed by default

#

I'll grab some DH then

faint flare
#

Then DH

robust crow
#

remember that healer gear doesn't come with DH

vivid dagger
#

I always forget I can meld things it doesnt show facepalm

robust crow
#

so all of your DH has to come from melds

faint flare
#

BiS GCD are like around 2.37s ish but this tier has a good chunk of speed on it by default

vivid dagger
#

thanks!

Are treasure map always upside down ?

Only 1 combat though

Once you get the 300 poetics from the main story duty finder is there another way to get poetics fast?

faint flare
#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
sullen phoenix
#

Thanks!

faint flare
#

Go unlock other lv50 dungeons...you got access to a tom of new content via blue quests

#

You'll get first time bonus poetics in those instances

open coral
#

Also do the Crystal Tower Alliance raid.

#

That's worth another 100 per run + the first time bonus.

#

But you get 600 from doing the two MSQ instances, not 300.

sullen phoenix
#

Oh cool. I guess it back to MSQ then I got my full shire armor set at least

#

Can’t afford accessories though

open coral
#

Doing MSQ roulette will give you 500-600 for your first run of the day every day.

#

At the cost of 35-45 minutes of your time, of course.

sullen phoenix
#

Really I may have gotten 500 the. Lol

#

Then*

#

I thought it said it paid out 300

open coral
#

300 bonus + 200 base.

sullen phoenix
#

I see.

open coral
#
  • another 100 if there's a first timer
faint flare
#

Roulette are bonuses ontop of what the instance gives normally

sullen phoenix
#

Cool I’ll make a note of that

open coral
#

With the exception of Leveling and Trial roulettes, you get a bonus quantity of poetics from all roulettes the first time you run them per day.

#

On top of whatever the baseline number for the instance is.

sullen phoenix
#

Btw when does the day reset?

faint flare
#

!daily

zinc orbitBOT
#
Tick, Tock, Kupo!
Time Until Daily Reset:

0 Days, 12 Hours, 42 Minutes, 45 Seconds

sullen phoenix
#

Cool! Thx for your help.

#

Probably a silly question but I should be doing all of the things in the duty roulette daily correct?

elfin edge
#

if you want experience points and tomes

#

but I usually just do a few "important" ones and ignore the rest

sullen phoenix
#

I see. Thanks.

elfin edge
#

before lv80 I did leveling roulette at least once a day

#

for the experience point bonus

#

and also alliance raid roulette

sullen phoenix
#

Awesome I’ll do that

Hi! This is saying that I have one of this items on my retainer, but when I go check his inventory, it’s not there, where can y find it?

faint flare
#

Its equipped to them

#

In their head slot

#

"location: head"

lavish vortex
#

Ohhhhh!!! I see jajaja I’m dumb

It’s literally on his head

Thanks haha my bad

#

i'm trying to understand what the 5.4 monk buffs/changes were. Is my goal in rotations the same still with keep up twin buff and dot?

faint flare
#

The GCD rotation didn't really change much

#

Opener adjusted slightly to start with dragon kick but otherwise the same

#

Keep twin and demolish up. Cycle through stances, punch shit

jovial tide
#

So I did puppet's bunker as PLD and one thing I had trouble with was PoA the line stack marker because people keep moving until the last 1-2 secs

#

Now I popped it in time both times

#

It just didn't feel good to be so close to wasting it both times

#

Is this normal, or do you assert dominance as the PLD and dictate people gather up inside your PoA wherever it's most reasonably convenient to drop it after minimal movement; maybe a hop + 180 flip?

open coral
#

There's not really a need to use PoA on the line stack in PB

#

The damage is so minimal unless another alliance also shoots you.

faint flare
#

I just move behind, drop it and whoever gets in it gets the buff

#

If they dont geblobshrug

open coral
#

A pair of halfway decent healers can clear the damage in 1 gcd or less.

halcyon radish
#

does this have any change or bearing on what happens next in the story?

jovial tide
#

No

halcyon radish
#

ok

#

I thought so

open coral
#

Honestly I feel like PoA is the PLD version of C3. It's situationally very strong, but those situations require the entire party to be stacked.

halcyon radish
#

just wanted to make sure.

#

tyvm

left moth
#

no the second option delays what will happen (cutscene)

open coral
#

It's basically just "do you want to start the scenario or not" @halcyon radish

halcyon radish
#

really?

#

that's what I thought

#

i was just worried maybe if I didn't pick the bottom one I'd miss something.

open coral
#

Nah

#

It's literally just asking if you're ready to continue the MSQ. You can't actually miss any content in this game.

left moth
#

there's one sidequest where picking the wrong option will cause the quest to be failed (and have to restart it) but that's the only exception

faint flare
#

All dialogue choices are either Fluff or "are you ready to go on"

halcyon radish
#

okidoki

faint flare
#

There's a few tiny expections you need to pick the right options but those happen in First person most the time

elfin edge
#

I thought PoA was just for a PLD to dab in game

i am having an issue progressing in the msq. my requirements to accept the next quest (Good Intentions from Minfilia) are to do these subquests: Ifrit Bleeds We Can Kill It, In for Garuda Awakening, In a Titan Spot, however the people that the wiki says to accept the quest from are not offering them in-game.

hey in potd does aetherpool cap after 51+?

#

trying to farm aetherpool, not sure if i should just focus 51-60

obsidian patio
#

IIRC It does sync aetherpool for 51-60, though I can’t remember as mine is at 99/99 and I can’t test due to having a floor 100+ group

#

If I had to make a safe assumption it probably syncs somewhere in the 50-60’s

wicked blade
#

thanks!

lavish vortex
#

For the ARR relic, specifically the zodiac braves step, when you have to obtain items from completing dungeons, do you have to do it with the job and weapon that you intend to upgrade?

lavish vortex
#

Thanks!

glacial isle

NP

#

It goes for all of them

#

You can however unsync the dungeons to make it go faster

There's probably a list on Reddit or somewhere that shows you. I think you can still abuse one of the Coils for that.

plucky dawn
#

I think it was Fifth Turn? The elevator one.

faint flare
#

4th

bronze narwhal
#

oh? lemme check the patch notes

plucky dawn
#

4th yeah

#

You can run it over and over really fast to get those mounts.

bronze narwhal
#

whoa its still works till now?

faint flare
#

People usually spam garuda EX unsync for tank mounts

plucky dawn
#

Well I dunno if it works now but I know you could at least in Stormblood

faint flare
#

Takes a few seconds

plucky dawn
#

Garuda EX now at level 80 yeah I can see it

#

4th Turn was what I did in SB for DRK

bronze narwhal
#

ahh I seee

faint flare
#

It was still the choice at 70

plucky dawn
#

well i'm just bad okay

faint flare
#

There was the odd tank mount Garuda ex party here and there

obsidian patio
#

Derp, doesn’t have the older duties in it. But basically any 8-man and 24-man content at the level caps (50/60/70/80) count for it

plucky dawn
#

Oh that's the "lesser" of the two achievements.

#

That one is any max-level duty.

#

I was thinking of the Tank You achievements

bronze narwhal
#

ah the patch notes doesnt gives you a full list of duties, only recently added

#

oh at least I know I can spam coil 4th and garuda ex

#

thank you guys

faint flare
#

The go to for low level mount is Garuda EX, for the 61+ one people just spam omega raids

plucky dawn
#

I think I remember 4th Coil is what people spammed in Heavensward since it was any Level 51+ one then 🤔

faint flare
#

4th coil is still 50

plucky dawn
#

hmm

#

my mind is not what it once was

What are the differences between eos and selene?

So I reached "endgame" recently (well end of 5.0) and am reading a guide on how to gear incrementally towards the end game raids and such.
And there it is written that I can exchange tomestone for ilvl 460 and 490 gear in Eulmore.
So, I looked around but couldnt find 460 gear for tomestones? the 490 one is the Crystarium right?

leaden ginkgo
#

Where is the best place to find a static? Is there a discord or page or something? 🙂

whole wasp
faint flare
whole wasp
leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

The methods are basically the same

leaden ginkgo
#

you use raid coins to upgrade crystarium by 10 ilvl's

faint flare
#

Farm tomes, get ilvl for eden and nier raids and do those for gear

leaden ginkgo
#

1 coin from each raid

#

2 coins = 1 piece upgrade

faint flare
#

Grab your relic weapon by doing thr lv70 24mans if you haven't and do the quest line in kugane

misty blaze
#

so I start by bying the Crystarium Gear right?

leaden ginkgo
#

this is asked all the time im sure, but is this downtime frequency common? this seems insane. the time of day and the length

faint flare
#

Maintenances dont happen often unless its a patch or extreme emergency/hotfix

whole wasp
#

tues maintenance every week

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks!

#

so yeah its like once a week basically and then patch day

#

sheesh

faint flare
#

All world maintenances bring the game down

gloomy mortar
#

Do you get Exp from Rank A marks?

little swift
#

you do, but its typically not used for that purpose because they're not easy to kill with sub-cap jobs

#

also you don't get full contribution

#

you also don't get a lot of tomes

#

just poetics

Hey all, what are rotations? I was watching a video but im still confused. Is it skills that combo into eachother or is there more too it than combos?

warped nest
#

Skill flowchart

whole wasp
#

its a term to refer to the general sequence of combat actions taken

#

for example, a ninja will often follow a certain sequence of weaponskills and abilities repeating every minute

faint flare
#

The order you use skills over the course of a fight which loops at some point

whole wasp
#

this sequence is known as its rotation

warped nest
#

Since it repeats/loops

#

It become known as a rotation

faint flare
#

You're rotating through your skills

THM/BLM leveling rotations
stray nimbus
#

Is there a specific rotation for every time or is it all the same

warped nest
#

One example

faint flare
#

There's a general rotation each job has

warped nest
#

Generally speaking, we have AOE and Single target rotation

faint flare
#

Then it gets adjusted slightly on a fight by fight based for alignment with various cooldowns working around forced down time

warped nest
#

Most advanced guides focus on single target rotation because most of the boss fight has one target
