While you are leveling a class, you will be doing a partial rotation (compared to a max level job) as you do not have the full set of skills yet

[stray nimbus]

Ah ok is there a video I should look at about dragoons? I'm about 3 levels away and want to get started on the, to me, advanced stuff

The stuff Vinyl linked are for max level stuff

[stray nimbus]

Thanks so much yall im really trying to get this stuff more as I go on to get better

[warped nest]

While we are at this topic, some Jobs might lean toward Priority more than a strict rotation

Notably: Dancer, and maybe Bard

Good luck and have fun, Saikue

[robust crow]

dragoon in general is pretty simple to figure out'

[warped nest]

Don't hesitate to drop by and ask questions

[robust crow]

because their rotation is really really rigid

[faint flare]

Main thing is life window management

[stray nimbus]

Thanks yall. I'll probably ask more about this when I get into samurai class which I can't wait for

[robust crow]

basically if you're playing dragoon right you're going to do your first 1-2-3-4-5 combo, then your second 1-2-3-4-5 combo

and literally repeat it nonstop

until the boss is dead

[warped nest]

Keep that channel in mind, Saikue

They have video guides teaching new players how to pick up a new jobs for all XIV combat jobs

[leaden ginkgo]

If you're a Dragoon who will shortly operate around Limsa Lominsa around 12:00 PM, does that make you a Dragoon of the Lagoon at Noon soon?

[warped nest]

Lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Need to know for meta

[terse wagon]

[ask]
Should I level up multiple classes when doing the MSQ ? I'm currently a lvl 31 WHM still on ARR

[faint flare]

Only if you really want to

[terse wagon]

but how do I divide the exp between the classes ?

[plucky dawn]

MSQ gives a lot of experience so I would not recommend it.

[faint flare]

One for story and one dungeon runs

[plucky dawn]

You should focus on one Job for the MSQ, and then do side Jobs after because of the exp bonus.

Once you are max level, all Jobs under that max level get a +50% experience bonus.

[faint flare]

Well

[plucky dawn]

So going between Jobs is actively prolonging the leveling process.

[faint flare]

Techincally wrong

!faq armouryexp

[zinc orbit]

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

[terse wagon]

oh i see

[plucky dawn]

The armory bonus is quite strong.

[faint flare]

If you have road to 70 you can easily levrp multiple jobs

[whole wasp]

multiple jobs, crafters, gatheres

[terse wagon]

what is this road to 70 ?

[faint flare]

Xp buff for making on a preferred server

[plucky dawn]

It's something people get for playing on low-pop Worlds.

[terse wagon]

am i able to get the bonus if i move from one world to the other ?

[faint flare]

No

[terse wagon]

or does it have to be a character made in that world ?

[faint flare]

Have to create on the server

[whole wasp]

it has to be a new character from lvl 1

[terse wagon]

ah i see, rip

[plucky dawn]

It's an incentive program to get people to play on low-pop Worlds but then they do stuff like discount Job/Story skips by half which basically invalidates that incentive for a lot of people lol

[cold crescent]

ay

totally random thing

where can i get some decent looking level 70ish gunblades? not much on the market board

So i've just picked up tanking as a GNB and have gone through a couple dungeons, what're some good tips in tanking?

[swift pasture]

what time is the crystal data center usually active when doing dailies/dungeons/alliance raids?

[glacial isle]

use AOE anytime there's more than 2 enemies in range

[vast torrent]

All.

[glacial isle]

use your damage reduction skills if needed (which is bosses and anytime a bunch of enemies are atacking you)

[slate arrow]

[plain python]

how does scholar's tactic extends barrier buff? Like, it only makes the barrier last longer?

[faint flare]

It extends the shield to other people

Aka it spreads the shield to others

[analog gate]

the spread shield has the same (remaining) value and duration as the original

[faint flare]

Deploy adlo is a stronger shield than succor

Deploy is basically like Bane but for shields

[plain python]

so I use Aldo one someone, and use deploy to make it spread, got it

[faint flare]

Yes

The galavise will then spread to others

Galavise explicitly

Most often used to mitigate raid wides

However you can adlo yourself then deploy off yourself onto the tank for a free shield

For a neat trick

[robust crow]

if two casters cast addle

does the mitigation stack?

or do they overwrite each other

[analog gate]

they overwrite

[robust crow]

rip

[analog gate]

same as reprisal, feint, and the ranged mitigation

[faint flare]

Buffs/debuffs of the same name typically don't stack unless they're regens...regens typically stack

Maybe few tiny exceptions here and there like drg tether

[trim rover]

I have a friend who is a returning player and stopped during the 100 quest climb after heavensward.
Didn't they axe that where you didnt need to do all of those quests or just did they cut out some of them? :X

[twilit arch]

just cut some

[faint flare]

They removed 17

And streamlined the rest

[trim rover]

Ah ok

[faint flare]

Plus flying

[trim rover]

If hes already in the middle of them, is he able to abandon it and start it from what they edited or is he kinda stuck doing them?

[twilit arch]

if its a cut quest, it will let him to abandon it

otherwise, he'll just do what the quests objectives are

[trim rover]

Ah gotcha. Ok. Thanks. :)

[sullen phoenix]

Does the first time bonus apply to all duty’s? Or only duties on the roulette?

[pearl wharf]

is there any purpose in having multiple crafters in the company workshop when building an airship/submersible?

[whole wasp]

yes, some FC crafts require a certain number of crafters in a party to start. those members dont have to be in the compant workshop

but it makes it easier to invite into the party

[pearl wharf]

what crafts specifically?

i cant recall of the top of my head but mostly the submarine and airship hulls etc

How to I upload my act file to ffxiv logs . It doesnt have the option to upload act

[little swift]

you need to download the fflogsuploader from the fflogs website

[dim smelt]

I've got that

It asks me to upload a log file

[little swift]

do you have your account connected to your character

[dim smelt]

But I can only find the act file

Yeah it's connected

[little swift]

take a log file from your designated save location

you can check from your plugins section

where the program saves your logs

and then match that directory in the fflogs uploader

[ruby plover]

ikr tp is so expensive

[dim smelt]

The log folder is empty

I may have accidentally. Deleted everything

Is there anyway to change a act file to a log file ?

[little swift]

there's no changing it because act reads the logs from wherever its saved

it could be that your logs are in a different location

check the directory thats similar to the one in my screenshot

because thats where your character logs are typically saved

can always adjust your ACT to read from there and to save it there as well

[slate arrow]

tl;dr it's basically a means to an end, in this case you're leveling crafters so you can skip the normal raid gear grind at level 80

[worthy basin]

you can't stack two bard songs, right?

[slate arrow]

correct

[south roost]

So there is no point in crafting if you plan to raid anyways?

[slate arrow]

no, since normal raids are weekly locked

You'll need to grind normal raids for ~4 weeks until you have a set of 510 gear. Crafting lets you skip that since none of it is time gated

[south roost]

Well that's a serious bummer. I started because I heard ff14 had a really deep and rewarding crafting system :/

Thanks

[worthy basin]

it does have a rewarding crafting system

if you want to make some gil out of it

[slate arrow]

In this case, there's Normal Quality and High Quality crafts

Both are the same, but the latter is usually harder to attain

That's what the leveling guide is for

[worthy basin]

there's something satisfying to see your ign in the crafted gear info

[slate arrow]

Because people have already mathed out the optimal macros to make High Quality crafts at the specific level

@south roost

Deep and rewarding is subjective, but it certain has more depth over WoW if that's what you're asking

[south roost]

Yea I thought it would just be more relevant then a cheaper way to get non-BiS gear

[twilit arch]

You can make raid food, potions, and various glamours

while its not necessarily relevant towards gearing itself, it still has relevance

plus raiders use crafted gear at the start of a raid tier because pentamelded crafted is quite strong

[slate arrow]

Plus, weekly lockouts exist

Assuming you're playing in PF for savage raids you'll need up to 16 weeks if RNG screws you the heck over

!FAQ savageloot

fuck you autocorrect

!faq savageloot

[zinc orbit]

What floors of savage drop which items?

Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.

Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.

The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests

[south roost]

Oh then seems more relevant is youre saving months worth of work compared to a few weeks one time ever. How often do new raid teirs release?

[sullen phoenix]

What weapon would a scholar be looking to have at level 70?

[slate arrow]

we're already at the last raid tier for the expansion so the next raid tier will be with the next expansion

also, savage will eventually be unlocked but that's still fairly far off

danke

[obsidian patio]

Ice spells have always been called Blizzard in some form in the series

Blizzard, Blizaga, Blizara, Blizaja

[hasty musk]

then they changed it to Blizzard 1-4 in this game in-lore because apparently the former naming convention was too annoying

[lime geode]

Huh, you're right Wynne, I'm misremembering

[obsidian patio]

It’s more of an English thing, as they still use the classic suffixes in JP

[lime geode]

It FEELS dumb though. Let me blizzard just this one person 😄

I think French/German use their own versions of the suffixes

"Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week."

So that means we cant even practice say E10S without clearing E9S or else we lose the E9S loot?

[west spruce]

yes

[agile laurel]

I actually wondered about this. Is there any way, mods possibly, to change all instances of the text to the classic suffixes?

Silly question but I’m confused my friend is upgrading his relic weapon and seems to think that’s that end game weapon to have. Is that correct?

I appreciate all of the help over these past few days. I swear to pay it forward when I’m not a noob.

^^

[warped nest]

Wait

Which relic weapon?

What level is your friend?

[sullen phoenix]

He has an awoken weapon

[obsidian patio]

If they’re talking about the level 80 relic it does eventually become the best weapon for Shadowbringers.

[sullen phoenix]

He’s level 79 I think

70*

[obsidian patio]

As for previous expansion relics, those are basically only for glamour.

[warped nest]

Awoken is part of the endgame relic for Heavensward, which is lvl 60

It is good for fashion now

It ain't good for stat

[green grail]

very low end of available level 60 gear

which you definitely shouldn't be using on a level 70 job

[sullen phoenix]

Ok so I should not get that and go for shire then

yep

Yeah

Augmented Shire weapon wont be outrank until you reach level 65 dungeon

Thanks again. I need 90 more poetics then. Going back into the duty finder.

[leaden ginkgo]

Was SAM considered a more "freeform" class before ShB?

Just curious

[warped nest]

Not really

[fringe osprey]

how many achievement points per coin

[leaden ginkgo]

ok gotcha, I guess it just has a longer more "rigid" rotation in ShB

[green grail]

it didn't have the strict 1min cycle like it does now due to tsubame gaeshi iirc but it was still as combo based as it is now at ~70

[warped nest]

In Stormblood, Hagakure rate for converting Sen into Kenki is pretty good, so you don't actually do as many iaijutsu, but the core rotation is still there

[plain python]

is there a way to put down quest item that you need to transport?

[green grail]

try right clicking the buff it gives you

[leaden ginkgo]

so you used more Kenki skills?

[obsidian patio]

50 points per certificate

[warped nest]

Yes

[fringe osprey]

tnx

[warped nest]

Iirc, Hagakure used to give 20 kenki per sen

So 3 Sen in Stormblood gives 60 kenki

[obsidian patio]

Hagakure had a longer cooldown too

[leaden ginkgo]

ahh, the job probably sounds better to me now now then since I'd rather use more Iaijutsu

[obsidian patio]

Basically you did less midares back then compared to now

[warped nest]

I think Hagakure was 40 or 60s?

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm probably gonna pick the class up when I reach the far east in stormblood, thanks for the context

Tomorrow I'm gonna learn MCH as I'm finishing HW patches

Battle Classes specialize in monster materials, like meats and skins.
Miner/Botanist/Fisher specialize in the materials their class gathers.

So ores for Miner, Logs/herbs for Botanist, and Fish for Fisher.

[halcyon radish]

So the Squall outfit from the veteran rewards is for both genders, but is the tidus outfit?

it seems girls get a yuna one instead

I think

but I'm not sure

[twilit arch]

tidus and yuna outfits are gender locked yes

[halcyon radish]

ty

[raw granite]

gender locked outfits... Cowardice.

[halcyon radish]

makes me sad tbh

[raw granite]

same

[halcyon radish]

the bunnygirl stuff isn't gender locked, SMH

[open coral]

They've unlocked a few sets over the years, like the Eternal Bonding attire.

[raw granite]

If I want to get a dress for my boy, I should bloody well be allowed to

[halcyon radish]

They should unlock a bunch of the guy stuff for the girls at least tbh

[forest laurel]

they have recently

[halcyon radish]

the other way around might be... awkward...but if people think that's fun then they should be able to do that too lol

well that's nice

I like the direction that's going, maybe eventually it'll all be open - I think even the race locked gear could look nice on other races

I wouldn't say job specific stuff tho probably

that should probably stay locked

Like, I really want thancred's heavensward boots on a girl character

for example

[raw granite]

do lancers get AOE at any point ?

[forest laurel]

lvl 40

[raw granite]

damn

[halcyon radish]

Oh that reminds me

when does my AoE get better as a black mage? i've got all the way up through the heavensward job quests done and i'm lvl 68 and my AoE just feels weaker and weaker

[raw granite]

the aoe in general in this game feel weak

[forest laurel]

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM leveling rotations

[forest laurel]

you following these rotations soul?

[halcyon radish]

that's confusing

I just do what I think I should be doing based on what all the abilities do and prior experience from learning WoW classes tbh

So I was doing the 40-59 rotation correctly, yes

Now that i've added F4, B4, enochian and ley lines, etc to my character it's more interesting, kinda weird to manage and I'm probably not doing it right

But there's basically no room to use F2 or B2 cus they're practically useless

unless there's a lot of weak enemies and I'm not worrying about enochian

[twilit arch]

correct, they basically drop off by the time you're 35~

blizzard 2 stops being useful the moment you get freeze

[nocturne crane]

how i can get 70 in blu fast?

[halcyon radish]

Honestly the only thing stopping me from taking some abilities off my bar entirely seems to be level sync

[twilit arch]

if you're in your 60s though, aoe shouldn't really feel that bad

[halcyon radish]

Well, I'm doing Dragonsong stuff right now, so for duties and such I'm not 68 I think it syncs me to 60 right?

[twilit arch]

@nocturne crane if you have a friend, you can have a friend kill high level mobs that you've tagged. though also keep in mind blu can only got 60. won't be able to go to 70 until 5.45

if you dont have a friend, basically just find mobs in the open world that have skills and go after those, ideally going for higher level mobs as you get higher in lvl

[nocturne crane]

ohhhh so we cant get this gear already?

whyy yoshi

[halcyon radish]

tbh not a fan of the way blue mages dress

red mage is nice tho

and black mage would be nicer if this hat actually looked as cool as it does in the concept art

or the PS4 avatar rather, whatever that is

[jaunty pagoda]

Can anyone help me identify the top here?

[raw granite]

Is that a DMC Lady cosplay ?

[jaunty pagoda]

Yes

I found it off Google images lol

[twilit arch]

Falconer's Shirt @jaunty pagoda

[cold steppe]

every server have the same in-game time?

[halcyon radish]

you mean is Eorzea time synced on all servers?

[cold steppe]

yes

[halcyon radish]

because Local time is different for all of them obv

or, server time i mean

[cold steppe]

in-game as in Eorzea time yes

[halcyon radish]

sry

[twilit arch]

yes, eorzea time is the same across all servers

[cold steppe]

gochu, thanks

[halcyon radish]

That's interesting that they've got it lined up like that

[twilit arch]

and server time is also the same for all of them

server time is gmt+0

[agile laurel]

@jaunty pagoda Do you one better - Found the source https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/3144/lady-from-devil-may-cry

[jaunty pagoda]

Ty @twilit arch

[agile laurel]

Clicking the google image, assuming it wasn't Pinterest or something, would've likely taken you here

[jaunty pagoda]

Ooh that's amazing, thanks @agile laurel !!

It took me to the forums for ffxiv actually, and no items were listed there ;-;

[scarlet arrow]

the link to eorzeacollection worked for me

[halcyon radish]

unfortunate they chose to cosplay as DMC4 lady instead of 3 or 5

😔

[jaunty pagoda]

Ah I meant the one I found on Google Images from when I first sent the Pic

[scarlet arrow]

ah ok

[robust sail]

How Am I meant to level fisher up?

[scarlet arrow]

...fish?

[jaunty pagoda]

Yeah I'm trying to put together a cosplay for dmc 5 lady, felt kecks with rebel boots and punch gloves are what I've got so far. Now I'm looking for a top that might work well

[robust sail]

Oh

[solid sinew]

Anyone else having issues logging in?

[agile laurel]

not just now, no

[scarlet arrow]

also fieldcraft leves

[robust sail]

Ok

[jaunty pagoda]

Ocean fishing is a good choice too

[scarlet arrow]

^

[halcyon radish]

I always liked how she looked in 3, for some reason they made her lips really big in 4 and her face is shaped funny

and in 5 it's better but still feels off tbh

dante looks great in 5 but also terrible in 4 idk what is up with 4.

[jaunty pagoda]

Maybe it's how they designed faces in general for 4? Although personally I don't have too much of an issue with how they look

[halcyon radish]

idk 4 just has really gross faces, but we should move somewhere else lol

[jaunty pagoda]

lol

[solid sinew]

I keep getting the error that my username password and one time password are wrong which i know can not be, I even check if caps lock was on for my keyboard and been looking at my phones one time password but keep getting the error, even put a request to change my password and when I try the one time password keeps giving the error that (The entered password is invalid.
Passwords composed of only alphabetic characters, only numbers, or only symbols cannot be used. Passwords including the same three characters in a row cannot be used.)

[proud willow]

Maybe a silly question but is the capitalization of your username correct?

[gloomy mortar]

Try leaving the onetime password blank?

[solid sinew]

never been capitalized its always filled when i start the launcher

[proud willow]

When was the last time you were able to log in?

[solid sinew]

that is how its setup

I was able to get in game today until I got the 5k error and the game closed out and logged in yesterday

[proud willow]

That makes it sound like you're typing in the One Time password (which is 6 digits) when it's asking you to choose a new password

or somehow otherwise choosing something invalid as a new password

[solid sinew]

it required the one time password to continue i was inputting what my phone was displaying

[cedar compass]

how is crafter gear wear calculated?

like how wast does condition go down

[proud willow]

all I can suggest is make sure you're putting in the one time password in the field where it asks for it, and putting in a valid new password in the field where it asks for it

[solid sinew]

Got it to work after changing my password and putting my username with first letter as upper case, but its always been lowercase before this day, not sure what changed and now i got to learn my new password upon login

[frank wigeon]

anyone got rotations for crab cake and cunning craftsman syrup and how many HQ minimum items needed to make it HQ?

i saw this https://ffxivteamcraft.com/rotation-folder/7TZOtsSAQbM51PHjGdNZ and it shows rotations of crafting irtems

[gritty oracle]

I think it's per craft because mass quicksynth always murders my gear.

[frank wigeon]

tell me about garlean please

[gritty oracle]

What's your stats?

[frank wigeon]

nah thats not important, im interested of garlean now

[gritty oracle]

I could link the rotation I use cor crabs, would that help?

[frank wigeon]

i would love that thank you, i got penta melded culinarian and 1 materia weapon for alchemist witha esthete gear all of them

[raw granite]

how do you get security tokens for free destinations ?

[frank wigeon]

are you talking about the security log in from the ffxiv app @raw granite

[raw granite]

I have no idea. Just that when I want to put an aetheryte as a free destination, it asks me for a security token

[frank wigeon]

would you please check your mogstation account and see if yuou have a software token available

it is a one time password when you log in, once you have that you can receive your free destination

[kind bison]

Hey! im going back to ffxiv again and first time im trying out to do maps. How do i get to find maps?

[raw granite]

That's a... weird security measure

[solid sinew]

You only get a free destination if you have a security token setup through a phone app or device on your mogstation account

[gloomy mortar]

Is the security token free?

[frank wigeon]

https://square-enix-games.com/en_GB/seaccount/otp/token.html

[gritty oracle]

yes

but it's a damn hassle to set up

still worth

[frank wigeon]

yeah its worth

[gritty oracle]

just be warned, it's a hassle

[hot eagle]

gathering jobs can gather 1 map every 18h, wekly wondrous tails has them as rewards and you can buy them from the marketboard

[kind bison]

Oh okay so i have to have gathering jobs first?

[frank wigeon]

if you get the token, you will have to log in with that security either through your app of your physical device bought from squareenix

[hot eagle]

if you want to gather the maps yourself yes

[kind bison]

Okay thankyou! 🙂 there's so much in this game to do lol

[gloomy mortar]

Ah, so every time you log on, you have to enter a password sent to your phone. No thanks lol

[solid sinew]

If you have a smart phone (android or apple) that can download the app sure it free otherwise it cost 10 or less one time cost in most countries to buy from SE a physical app device

[gritty oracle]

Also if you set up and configure your companion app (for free), you get an extra favoured destination

[frank wigeon]

may i please request the rotations for crab cake HQ and Craftsman syrup HQ, ive been barely getting to HQ them with 2 HQ mats

[gloomy mortar]

I have the companion app; how do I get the free favorite destination? Automatic?

[cold steppe]

Forager dont have set like crafters for 50? aka artisan?

Just a hat?

[obsidian patio]

Correct

[cold steppe]

[gloomy mortar]

Why observe?

[gritty oracle]

Poor protection. It was in the macro when I copied the base one from the internet and later modified it. Never bothered to remove.

[solid sinew]

focused touch needs it for 100%

[gritty oracle]

and that

I know one of my macros had constant random Observes though for Poor protection

[frank wigeon]

I appreciate you @gritty oracle My Alchecmist is: Craftsmanship - 2659, Control- 2775, and CP 545. My Culinarian: 2659, Control 2837, CP 557

[gritty oracle]

holy that's a lot of control

[frank wigeon]

i was told i needed penta melded gear aesthete with high tier materia to craft 5.4 food

HQ

[gritty oracle]

Do you want to use this also for aesthete gear, or can I optimize around the specialist stats?

[frank wigeon]

aesthete gear if you would be so kind

id love to learn how you are able to do a rotation

im still new to this

unless there is a website that does it for us

[gritty oracle]

plug your stats into teamcraft, plug my own rotation into it, modify until it works. There's people on the balance who can make rotas from sctarch, but I never invest enough time into it

[steady patrol]

hey dose anyone know what the server cap is?

[cold steppe]

does exp bonus from food counts for gathering classes?

[gritty oracle]

also wait. Why do you have a discrepancy between your gears? I assumed you've got cul specialist, but even then the differences aren't even enough

What's your lowest set of stats?

I'll optimize around it

[short loom]

At level 80 is Inner Chaos inner release?

[frank wigeon]

my culinarian is full geared but my alchemist only has 1 materia on primary weapon and no secondary weapon. i have yet to craft it

[gritty oracle]

Yes.

[frank wigeon]

my lowest stats is craftsmanship 2659, control 2775 and cp 545

[gritty oracle]

ty!

[eager fog]

what r the most important stats to a drk?

[frank wigeon]

i feel like you genuinely enjoy morphing a process to fit a better result, i like your efficiency m8

you mean materia slots @eager fog

?

[eager fog]

i mean stats

[gritty oracle]

:DRKQ1: Meld priorities?
:DRKA1: Crit > Comfy SkS > DH > Det
(Det > DH if you also play WAR)

according to the balance

[eager fog]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-doggo-smiling-thank-you-thanks-gif-5261112

[cold steppe]

gochu, thanks!

[gritty oracle]

With those stats this rota should work, if you have chili crab HQ, or chili crab NQ and Competent Craftsman's Tea NQ (craftmanship tea, the lowest will do). If you have +20 craftmanship from your stats, or 7 extra CP, can ditch the tea (the extra CP will enable the Careful Touch)

0-100% HQ

I recommend buying 1 nq crab for cheap, and then using that to make hq crabs

[frank wigeon]

im slowly understanding how it work

[gritty oracle]

the only interesting part of it is using WN1 instead of WN2 because you're gonna use prudent touch anyways (I guess, copied it from the internet and modified) and the Careful Touch in the end which only activates if you have enough CP. Otherwise, it will Basic Synth

you need 552 CP for the cAreful to activate

tbh if you got HQ aethersand (which you likely have) you can probably cut on the macro time because of the extra quality

[frank wigeon]

YES hq items do make it quite easy to craft them wow

especially aethersand

[gritty oracle]

aethersand was changed a bit back so it's always hq

[frank wigeon]

i wonder once you set the perimeters do i press a button to get the result or?

aethersand from the craft rotation has a lot of quality to it as HQ

[gritty oracle]

well, two unless you have a macro recursion mod. You gotta split it into two macros. And yeah, press craft, wait for the character to sit down, then press macro #1, wait for the ding, then press macro 2

[frank wigeon]

im getting a hang of it now will do more macro to see how it goes, youre great at this

[gritty oracle]

oh insert a ding at the end of your first macro

[frank wigeon]

i googled recursion mod but didnt show

my macro is all taken up

for UI and raid macros

[gritty oracle]

it's in xlauncher, but it's technically illegal

[frank wigeon]

ohh

are you a crafter main?

you are very knowledgeable

[gritty oracle]

sorta. I mostly just copy macros from the internet, modify them until they work, and sit down and press macros

the real knowledge is which macros to copy, and how to modify them

[frank wigeon]

that makes it even more fun i bet

[gritty oracle]

but yeha crafter main

eh, ngl I've kinda forgotten how to craft by hand

[frank wigeon]

hahahha

[shadow root]

Is the last 100MSQ in ARR important or can i skip through it

[frank wigeon]

with new ishgard ranking it will be fun to see what we can craft with ease

OOF snuf i feel you

[green grail]

it's the continuation of the story

[gritty oracle]

It's kinda unimportant until Shiva. At and after 2.4 it really picks up and becomes enjoyable

[green grail]

joins ARR and HW

[solid sinew]

There should not be 100 left in the ARR if you finisihed up to 2.0, but you should do it

[green grail]

they cut it down to 80-something

[shadow root]

it's still like eternity

[solid sinew]

And the ones they left were simplfied along with having flying

[potent plank]

anybody got any advice for a fool who bought the Shadowbringer exp from a third party seller, not realising that if you bought FFXIV through steam, you have to buy the exp through steam too?

[shadow root]

Im at the end of 2.3 but its like never ending

[alpine shadow]

if you bought the key, you are doomed

you probably can't refund it

[solid sinew]

You can not be that far off, if you are at 2.3

[alpine shadow]

and yes, if you have the base game on steam, you need to buy all expansions on only steam

!faq steam

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV steam version notices

1. Steam launcher integration update
2. Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
3. Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
4. You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.

[shadow root]

Also why are my skills overlapping on the hotbar between 2 jobs...

[wispy parcel]

2.4 is when they start directly setting up for Heavensward so just power though it

[potent plank]

Phuk.

[alpine shadow]

do you mean that your hotbar skills are not crossing over when swapping class? you need to select which hotbars are crossclass hotbars in character settings -> hotbar

[shadow root]

ah shit i read all the story before and in 2.3 shouldnt have dont that

[solid sinew]

role action abilities overlap, otherwise none should unless you are playing summoner/arcanist

[shadow root]

yep im playing summoner ...

@alpine shadow Thx

[solid sinew]

summoner and scholar share some abilities as it was the only job to have a split once you did the level 30 class job and unlock both jobs afterword it was the only time and last time they ever did that as it confused new players

One is a dps and the other is a healer

[lavish breach]

how do some people have 5 materia slots on their exarch gear but i only have 2 even tho mine are hq as well?

[oak ice]

You can overmeld crafted gear

The 3 extra slots are hidden

[alpine shadow]

there are max 2 guaranteed meld slots

the rest is a low chance meld

[oak ice]

Or you can get the Ornamental(?) that has 5 slots, but that's expensive

[lavish breach]

oh how to overmeld?

gotta need crafters?

[oak ice]

Yeah, only players can overmeld, either yourself or request melding from someone

[alpine shadow]

iirc, you need to finish advanced melding quest

[lavish breach]

oh ok

[alpine shadow]

You need to finish the quest Melding Materia Muchly

which unlocks Advanced Materia Melding

It's a lvl25 quest

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

[lavish breach]

Thank you

[raw granite]

Is there a reason to not give all your battle retainers the same class ?

[gritty oracle]

Iirc after you buy the game on steam, you handle all further transactions from mogstation

[gritty oracle]

Both are kinda bad tbh. I recommend picking up ram's voice if you want to CC.

[nova umbra]

uh... is there a reason why blm has lucid dreaming? Should I drop it off my hotbar?

[gritty oracle]

There's some really really niche optimization that uses lucid on blm, but for the most part, ditch it.

[tidal yarrow]

i know that with 5.4 they made post arr quests faster, but what is the change that they made?

[uncut geode]

ugh.. so I have this Sub code from UK.. but my ID is on EU.. can I still use it"?:

[nova umbra]

they removed a lot of fluff quests

[scarlet arrow]

they cut some quests out and consolidated a few more

[crimson crystal]

Yeah, UK is part of EU region

[uncut geode]

then there was a option for selecting regions.. there UK and Europe and Other regions

[tidal yarrow]

oh i see.. so it's not more like 90 quests?

[uncut geode]

were 2 different options

while creating my SE account that is

[crimson crystal]

Hmm I don't think that will affect code though

I think for codes it's just NA, EU, and Japan

But I'm not sure

[uncut geode]

and I checked SE site.. there are 2 separate sites with separate currency.. one in euro and one in GBP

[crimson crystal]

Oh okay

[uncut geode]

kinda freaked out

[crimson crystal]

You can always try redeeming it and see what happens

[uncut geode]

;_; I will be really honest here... the GBP site rates are much cheaper for my country

than EU

like,... almost half

such are the conversions

so.. I am supposed to buy it xD

[nova umbra]

@tidal yarrow it was around a 13% reduction in quests I think (that number was thrown around a lot)

[uncut geode]

if anyone could tell if both codes will work or not.. then it will help

[tidal yarrow]

wait a 13% so like they removed 11-12 quests or from 90 they are now 14-15

[nova umbra]

I'm not sure of the exact percentage, it's just a number that was thrown around a lot at the time lol

[tidal yarrow]

oh it's okay i see thanks

[manic flare]

what is the requirement to unlock palace of the dead?

[raw granite]

beating the quest "the house that death built"

[scarlet arrow]

level 17 quest "The House that Death Built"

[manic flare]

what is the requirement to unlock "the house that death built"?

can i do it as soon as i hit level 17?

[raw granite]

probably beating the lvl 17 MSQ

[lavish breach]

so on drk u focus skill speed then crit right?

[uncut geode]

um.. could anyone clarify something about payment? there is this game play card here https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_GB/product/307008/final-fantasy-xiv-60-days-game-time-card-other ... but my SE account is of EU and other region and my currency in mogstation is Euro.. not GBP.. will this code still work?

[gritty oracle]

sks/sps is always to comfort or a specific gcd tier. Check balance for bis sks on drk.ű

[agile laurel]

never simply meld sks/sps, that's never the point of comfort tier

you meld sks/sps until you reach a certain point

which yes, you'd want to check balance for

[tired rover]

What does it take for someone else to be able to meld your gear past certain slots?

Everyone i try has a zero %

[robust crow]

you can only do one tier 8

[green grail]

it's only crafted gear

[robust crow]

you can only do one tier 8

[green grail]

tier 8 materia in first overmeld slot only, tier 7 in the rest

[robust crow]

after that you have to use tier 7s

[tired rover]

Yes i know

I have 7 and 8

I did my blm i50 up to 5 slots already

but now i am trying to do my healers i510

and everyone i try wont get me past my 3rd slot

[robust crow]

send a picture of what you're trying to overmeld

[tired rover]

wait one sec

i think i got it

brbr

[opaque wyvern]

Can anyone give me some gil advice? I keep running out trying to get my crafters to 80 and was wondering if anyone had a consistent way of making it?

[inland scarab]

Sorry, totally confused & really need confirmation: can a free company max reputation to all grand companies? Maxed 1st one & after moving to other GC reps, the 1st one kept dwindling. 😦

[green grail]

sell allegory mats on mb, do/sell treasure maps, plus you probably shouldnt have to spend a single gil to level crafters if you gather everything yourself

[opaque wyvern]

Im not gathering everything myswlf

Because time is money

[green grail]

yeah well pick one lol

[gritty oracle]

Use the ishgardian restoration instead of buying materials, use gathering classes to gather your own ingredients

also custom deliveries

[gritty oracle]

^

[opaque wyvern]

I've been using ishgardiqn restoration

[gritty oracle]

then hop into the diadem and get the mats yourself. That way it's free

[green grail]

you're wasting money to speed up leveling

[opaque wyvern]

Yes, but that still doesn't answer my question of how to obtain gil

[green grail]

if you want money then go slow and dont dump gil on mats

[opaque wyvern]

Besides allegory mats

Maps I understand

But thats a time limited resource

[inland scarab]

I’m just totally confused...

[opaque wyvern]

Unless I want to buy more

[eager fog]

my 2nd question today, what r the most important materias for a drk?

[opaque wyvern]

Like there must be a non battle way besides map rng

[green grail]

there's no foolproof way of making money, server economy is different one ach world, there's people undercutting some stuff and not other stuff, some people have their own niche they use to make millions

[gritty oracle]

sks to a specific gcd tier, then crit > dh > det

[inland scarab]

This is my recently created FC

[gritty oracle]

cookie leves, but you have to spend time gathering materials for that

[green grail]

it comes down to 1. be an omni crafter/gatherer 2. play the market

[opaque wyvern]

This is the most ambigous mmo when it comes to making gil

[gritty oracle]

also do blu/arr hunts to get allied seals, spend on aetheryte tickets, save gil

the best way of making gil is not to spend it

[green grail]

^

[sullen lark]

Gonna be a hard-ish question, but anyone have any idea what the chest armor this is?

[opaque wyvern]

Yes but saving gil doesn't generate gil

[green grail]

or at least not spend it on unnecesary stuff, like mats you can gather yourself

[inland scarab]

I’m still confused.....

[sullen lark]

Oh, you guys talking about moneymaking?

You get quite a lot just from clearing dailies

[green grail]

wind silk coatee

dyed black or something close to black

[inland scarab]

No, i’m talking about FC’s gc reputations

[sullen lark]

Oh damn, that was quick

Thanks Vis

[frank wigeon]

yo quick question what cryptlurker does a paladin need to prioritiese first?

[gritty oracle]

What's your exact question? Sorry if your message was scrolled over.

[gritty oracle]

check balance for bis

[frank wigeon]

understood 😄

[agile laurel]

!faw balance

#questions-and-help message

[frank wigeon]

cheers friends

[gritty oracle]

oh sorry Boar, no idea

[green grail]

if someone knew they'd probably have answered you by now

[sullen lark]

@opaque wyvern Just go Leves, more than half of them actually pay you back in money anyway

[gritty oracle]

if you switch FCs, the previous rep should be frozen

[inland scarab]

This is my own recently created fc

Like i said, was maxed on 1st gc reputation, then moved to another trying to max it, instead the 1st one kept dwindling & now in rank 3 from max

[cursive terrace]

Is it normal that my servants can only have ARR jobs?

[clever cave]

Yea when you switch the other gc’s decay @inland scarab

[inland scarab]

Downside is u can’t give them job specific weapons to equip

[gritty oracle]

when they reach lv30, 50 or 60 (depending on the job you want to give them) you gotta buy an item from the retainer vocate and apply it to your retainer

each class has a list of jobs they can upgrade onto

[cursive terrace]

Oooh okay

[gritty oracle]

I think you gotta eat the item then talk to your retainer and choose the option to assign it a job

[inland scarab]

I did ask similar question awhile ago & someone here says it’s possible to max reputation all GC. I’m just wondering how to do that :?

[gritty oracle]

for rdm, sam you need 50, for gnb/dnc 60, the others are 30

but if you want to give them those four jobs, you have to let them stay in a class until 50/60

[eager fog]

3rd question of the day , how do u put(insert) materias in gear?

[faint flare]

Materia melders

[gritty oracle]

right click on item, click Meld

[faint flare]

Or level crafters to do it yourself

[clever cave]

Mm perhaps they were talking about maxing out your characters rankings not your free companies

[inland scarab]

No, I specifically asking about fc reputations

[gritty oracle]

why would you want to do that tho

[worthy basin]

you can't adjust the zoom more outer than the standard, right?

[inland scarab]

I don’t care about personal standing

[clever cave]

Yea its possible they told you the wrong thing

[inland scarab]

Because someone says it’s possible

[twilit arch]

its pretty unlikely you can max out all three

[inland scarab]

eh?

[twilit arch]

given that once the fc changes, the previous standings start to decay

[inland scarab]

😦

Also, i tend to switch gc time to time, especially if new gc rank came up

& i did able to max rank all gc. Thought i could do the same with fc

Is it possible somehow the system similar to desynth when feature was originally released, where u can cap 3 of craft classes but has decay system if focusing too much on 1 class?

Yes, i know we can max all craft desynth now, i’m just referencing to original system

[lone spruce]

What does it mean if someone’s listed as unable to retrieve in my friend list?

[inland scarab]

Said person moved out from ur server

[faint flare]

They transferred off their server

[lone spruce]

Ah

[open ember]

Actually transferred off Datacenter

If it was server, it'd adjust to their new server

[agile laurel]

this is true

[south roost]

How do you do a tiny jump? Sometimes when I'm randomly jumping around I'll get a tiny hop that barely gives me any air and then immediately land

[polar hound]

easy to do with a controller..or just ykno dont move as fast/much.. / to roleplay walk

[iron rock]

How do I make it so that my hotbars are different different jobs?
My hotbar 1-3 are independant from each other, but hotbar 4 is shared across jobs and I can't customize it just for the one job

[polar hound]

in your hotbar settings, make sure they are not shared hotbars.

as long as they remained shared..they will, well, share across jobs

[gritty oracle]

Does 80 roulette grant extra revelation if someone's new? 15 for a dungeon sounds really low esp since raids gives 20.

[polar hound]

there is a bonus when anyone is new to any content yes

[green grail]

it's an allegory bonus though

for 80 dungeon roulette you have to remember each of the dungeons also gives tomes on its own, so the roulette bonus is smaller to account for that

[polar hound]

Oh, i read too fast mb

[green grail]

it's 15 + (20 or 30 or 50 depending on dungeon)

[inland scarab]

this is what happened atm. note: maelstorm is the 1st one capped before

[scarlet arrow]

also the Expert Roulette is the primary way of getting revelation tomes via the Duty Finder

80 roulette is more about the previous tier

[gritty oracle]

I don't have matoya unlocked yet

[crystal bluff]

i mean
it takes like half an hour to unlock it if youre finished 5.3

[austere agate]

Scholar or white mage?

[opaque wyvern]

Is that the question?

[valid lance]

So I currently have a female paladin character in game and want to change over to a male character when I unlock DRK. Would it be better to switch my main character over or create a new character and pay for them to skip the story?

[polar hound]

definitely cheaper to just fantasia

the game is designed so that you can play any job on one singular character

[south roost]

Where do I find collectables?

[frozen girder]

I came to ask that too :o

More specifically Pyrite

Do I need to wait for that in game

Till 8:00

[crystal bluff]

i could be remembering wrong
but dont you get a free fantasia from level 50 msq?
you could just use that

[valid lance]

I want to keep my female Paladin though. She's got an awesome aesthetic going and I don't want to lose that by changing to male. I may just have to play through ARR again 🤣

[faint flare]

Collectibles have their own section in their respective logs

[south roost]

Oh found it. Ty. Unfortunately mine is locked behind a MSQ arena v.v

[green blaze]

What is the best RP server on the EU servers?

[raven sage]

@frozen girder Pyrite spawns from 4AM to 6AM and 4PM to 6PM in the dravanian forelands. When it spawns there will be a glowing pickaxe that leads you to it

And it's Eorzea time

And it's Eorzea time

[polar hound]

you're free to save that appearance..but yeah if you wish to have entirely different characters without spending $10 every time, and have $ to spare, an alt would suffice i suppose

[frozen girder]

._.

[raven sage]

Actually wait

[frozen girder]

I think it's 6-8 or 8-10

[raven sage]

Do you mean pyrite or rarefied

[frozen girder]

Rarefied

[raven sage]

Yeah rarefied spawns during the times I listed

Do you have truth of the mountains on?

[forest rivet]

Just a question, but can you get the colossus totem from alexander if you run it unsync?

Just a question, but can you get the colossus totem from alexander if you run it unsync?

[frozen girder]

I do

[faint flare]

You physically can't Unsync Ultimates

[forest rivet]

Oof, sadness

But understandable I guess

[raven sage]

Try going to (30.6-32.1)

[frozen girder]

I found it

[raven sage]

ok good

[frozen girder]

Does perception help with collectables?

[polar hound]

I don't know the answer currently, but to maybe help for the future, if you grab the DoH role from #612757637813239808 you'll have access to #doh-dol-lounge as well with it's helpful pins/folks there

I would answer but I havent touched collectables in quite awhile sorry

[clever totem]

When does the realm reborn questline end

I can't wait for the heveansward to kick in

[faint flare]

It ends with Before the Dawn

Which is 80 quests after Ultimate weapon

[clever totem]

Lemme check my quest

[green blaze]

Guys what the the best rp server on the EU?

[clever totem]

I'm at skeletons in her closet

God

That's so far

[hot eagle]

eu dosent have a best/special rp server like na

[green blaze]

Welp..

[finite topaz]

So im level 53 going through arr 8 man dungeons are really easy bc everyones so strong

Does it ever get to where its a challenge again in normal mode

Or is savage the only way to be challenged

[crystal bluff]

everything that isnt savage or extreme is meant to be casual content

[worthy basin]

you could try the arr extremes

[crystal bluff]

synced, of course

[worthy basin]

^

[finite topaz]

Ok

Dang

[crystal bluff]

unsynced theyre all joke
levi can be annoying but

[finite topaz]

I just mean like i did the dungeon before ultima and i was barely doing anything cause everyone just focused the white lady and it was over in 45 seconds lol

I was just hoping not all bosses were like that but guess not

[twilit arch]

prae and castrum are going to be bulldozed because it doesn't have a low ilvl sync on it

so people are going into a dungeon that's expecting like ilv50, at il130

[finite topaz]

Oh i see

[twilit arch]

but that said, dungeons in general aren't going to be that challenging

[crystal bluff]

praetorium is challenging
to sit through the cutscenes

[twilit arch]

they're not intended to be, they're intended to be casual content

[finite topaz]

What about trials and raids?

Yeh but that felt less than casual 😆

[twilit arch]

the story modes aren't going to be that challenging either, the main issue is going to be people being bad tbh

[crystal bluff]

hard/extreme trials have some difficulty to them from mechanics
and even the normal eden raids can be hard

[finite topaz]

Ok thanks chooms

[twilit arch]

ultimately the more challenging content is going to be extreme trials, savage and ultiamte raids

[finite topaz]

I wanted something in between casual and sweaty

But i guess i gotta be sweaty

Its fine this game is pretty fun

[naive tartan]

Extreme is that niche tbh

[crystal bluff]

^

[faint flare]

Extremes are the midcore

[naive tartan]

Hard enough you'll get destroyed if unprepared, easy enough to autopilot it once you get it down

[finite topaz]

You get it

[crystal bluff]

but that requires the whole team to know what theyre doing

[finite topaz]

Nice ill try extremes after msq then

Thanks lads and lassies

How long would it take to do every trial dungeon and raid?

Thats my personal goal

[shrewd prawn]

with second chance points do you have the choice

to choose wher you want to move the spot

[faint flare]

You cant pick where stickers move to

[crystal bluff]

no
it randomly shuffles where they go

if you could choose, everyone would be getting like
double lines at least every week

[naive tartan]

Every single one? Including ultimates?

[robust crow]

if you include all the savages and ultimates, potentially a year

[naive tartan]

And if they're synced, probably more

[zinc orbit]

[robust crow]

considering you'd have to prog the entire current tier, find a static, prog all 3 ultimate fights (which could take months per fight)

excluding current tier savage and the ultimates and allowing unsync, you could probably clear all the other fights within 100 hours of playtime

most of that time being taken up by e8s, e4s, and o12s

[naive tartan]

There's also the faux hollows stuff

I guess it's just EX but it's its own thing

[finite topaz]

Wb just normal mode of each?

I wouldn't mind playing this game on and off over time though

[robust crow]

normal mode is casual content

less than 20 minutes per encounter most of the time

[finite topaz]

At the very least ill just do the ex of just a few

[naive tartan]

Just normal modes, probably 5-6 months

[robust crow]

more like

1 week

normal mode is a joke

[naive tartan]

I mean if starting from scratch and stuff

[finite topaz]

Well i got a fulltime job too 😂

[naive tartan]

Since you have to unlock all the stuffs

[robust crow]

normal mode is designed for the most casual players, allowing for nearly full party wipes numerous times and having virtually nonexistent dps checks

half the mechanics in normal mode can literally just be stood in or ignored and you'll still clear

and the ones you can't, someone can just rez you

[finite topaz]

Do i have to do normal mode in that case?

Sounds boring

[robust crow]

even if you're completely blind to the fight you'd most likely figure it out on the 2nd or 3rd wipe if it even gets that far

[finite topaz]

I dont wanna waste cool bosses on boring gameplay

[robust crow]

it's not that the gameplay is boring lmao

the mechanics are all cool and neat

they just aren't punishing

if you want a challenge then you need to go into EX or savage

[finite topaz]

I should say cheesy fights

Ill try the normals first and see how it feels

[robust crow]

I mean

what level are you

the very first normal raid you'd hit are the alexander raids at level 60

after heavensward

[finite topaz]

Still going through msq arr

So 53

[robust crow]

then you have a long way before you see an endgame style raid

the only raid you've seen up until now is probably just the crystal tower series

which is also considered casual content

[timid geyser]

Aren't bahamut raids the first normal raids tho

[twilit arch]

no

[robust crow]

99% of your average player is going to skip those

[twilit arch]

coil raids are effectively savage

[robust crow]

but yes the coils are savage raids too but most are just going to unsync them and ignore half the mechanics

[twilit arch]

they have no normal mode, and the savage version of them only exists for one of the coils (second coil specifically) and was an experiment of sorts

realistically can't compare how coil works to how normal/savage raids work now

[timid geyser]

I wasn't talking about difficulty but about the raid type

but okay

[robust crow]

difficulty is effectively the raid type

[finite topaz]

Whats the ilevel and lvl req for bahamut?

[robust crow]

current tier savage is always going to be a significant difficulty increase over anything most people have done up until then

if you spent 20 mins doing a normal fight, you're likely to spend like 4-6 hours figuring out the first current savage fight

[timid geyser]

There's noone in bahamut queue

the req level is 50

I tried to put up a pf to do it synced, literally noone does that

[robust crow]

you're more likely to find two or three 80s to carry it

[timid geyser]

yes but

i wanted to try it sync'd

[robust crow]

your best bet is to hunt specifically for a sync static

as you know, it's really unlikely random people are gonna join a synced bahamut coil

[timid geyser]

right lol

[robust crow]

but there are statics out there that do everything synced for the challenge

[timid geyser]

Bahamut ultimate synced must be fun tho

[robust crow]

you can't do ultimates any other way

[timid geyser]

wait no that's level 70 content lol

[robust crow]

they force you to sync

[timid geyser]

😦

that's not very nice i want the ultimate dreadwyrm blade

[robust crow]

that's gonna be a commitment

[timid geyser]

So in order to get Curtana Ultima i have to do Ultima Arma ultimate ?

[open ember]

Hey pentamelded aesthete gear is better than white scrip gear right

[robust crow]

yes

[robust crow]

yes

[open ember]

Someone in my fc is saying its not I'm like. What
