questions-and-help

[raw granite]

Can you do gardening at your FC house ?

[warped nest]

You don't actually get to ride them for real

[warm snow]

Only if your fc let's you

[agile laurel]

yes, if you have the relevant permissions in the FC to interact with the property

[warped nest]

You built them and send them away to get stuff

[raw granite]

Okay

[warped nest]

Think retainer venture, but at a bigger scale

[agile laurel]

best comparison actually

[warm snow]

Iirc they take 36 hrs or something like that

[agile laurel]

FC rooms and apartments are this big

me for scale

same size as the upper floor of a small house

do not slam me for my decorating tastes, this isn't mine

[warm snow]

Your taste is shit REEEEE

[agile laurel]

i only didn't use mine because it's partitioned off so much it's impossible to actually see the proper size

[warped nest]

If you get blinds, you can partition your apartment into 3-4 different sections

[raw granite]

It's pretty big actually

[agile laurel]

If you get really, REALLY into decorating, you'll hit the decoration item limit before you run out of space

[raw granite]

I like it, looks cozy

Meh, guess I'll see about a house when I have the funds.

[agile laurel]

i turned my FC room into one tiny attic-style room

there's a massive amount of black magic you can do with housing in this game

[raw granite]

Feels to me like you make some crazy cash crafting furnitures and walls and stuff

[open coral]

Yes. Some people do.

[agile laurel]

it's not much but it's a good amount

[faint flare]

It rises and falls

[agile laurel]

there's also some housing items, mostly exterior fixture decorations, relegated to FC estate workshop crafting

[raw granite]

Capitalism's bust and boom cycle, I am aware

[agile laurel]

which if you've played Warframe isn't unlike clan funded gear

those always carry some value

mostly because they're the really standout fixtures like making your house look like a stack of books and Carbuncles

[raw granite]

Noice

[slender warren]

Hiya all 🙂 too all of the experienced tanks, what are your thoughts between warrior and paladin?

which of the 2 do you prefer playing as and why?

[faint flare]

Warrior cause unga bunga

[robust crow]

valid reason

[faint flare]

Deliver the Horny bonk to the enemies

[slender warren]

unga bunga? xD

[crystal bluff]

paladin is the easiest one to learn iirc

[agile laurel]

warrior is probably the most basic in terms of understanding

not many offglobals

not much tech

[tepid stag]

what pieces of gear should I prioritize as I get scrips

[agile laurel]

it does exactly what it says on the tin

[crystal bluff]

true

[tepid stag]

for crafting

[warped nest]

Warrior do have the lowest effective button count amongst the tanks

[agile laurel]

and the least to keep an eye on

[warped nest]

Warrior is quite satisfying to play because the animation feels good and meaty

[agile laurel]

well, some of it does

fell cleave makes up for quite a lot

[warped nest]

It is not that Paladin feels terrible, it feels good, but Warrior feels better (this is very subjective)

[slender warren]

thanks guys 🙂 and in terms of self healing? which of the 2 excel?

[warped nest]

I like Chaotic Cyclone a lot

[faint flare]

Warrior for actually useful healing

Paladin self heal isn't actively used

[agile laurel]

some mindsets (mine) would say pld feels more fun than war because there's more buttons to press

[warped nest]

But Paladin can self heal on demand

[faint flare]

Unless your healer is fucking trash

[warped nest]

Warrior you need to wait to your abilities

[agile laurel]

Pld's self heal is absolutely crippling to its own output and should be avoided at all costs, but it is there

[warped nest]

This is fair and valid too

[agile laurel]

and war has a simple self heal button, and a fairly short leech CD

!action nascent flash

[slender warren]

yeah ok, i have read that you can heal as warrior and it doesnt interrupt your damage rotation much is that right?

[zinc orbit]

**Nascent Flash** : lvl 76 WAR (25.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Grants the effect of Nascent Flash. Also grants target party member Nascent Glint.
Nascent Flash Effect: Absorbs damage dealt as HP

[agile laurel]

read that

that's what you're referring to

pretty wording for 'a portion of all damage you deal for the duration is restored to you as HP'

[warped nest]

This is commonly paired with AOE skill

[faint flare]

Or gauge spenders

[agile laurel]

in dungeons where both are unlocked, nascent flash + chaotic cyclone on trash packs is a free ~80% heal

[slender warren]

wow ok

thanks all for all the assistance!

[agile laurel]

ofc these are relatively late unlocks

so

[warped nest]

I do feel that Warrior has a lot less glamour options though

[agile laurel]

shrug

[raw granite]

Even at lower level you got quite a bit of heal

[agile laurel]

Depends, I don't feel much towards any of the job specific sets

so

[raw granite]

War's 50 job set is hot garbo, tbf

[agile laurel]

but yeah, important to note that while some glamour items are locked to specific jobs, most aren't

[warped nest]

I am talking about the weapon primarily

I personally prefer asymmetrical axes

[heady knot]

so is potd good place to level classes or are there any better places?

[slender warren]

i have tried them both and im still quite low level, i have always thought that paladins should by default be the better tank because they can actually BLOCK, but blocking doesnt seem to do much...

and that sheltron skill seems very week

[leaden ginkgo]

Does anyone know how to farm aetherpool grips from Heaven on High? Is there an easy way or is it just hoping for an upgrade?

[faint flare]

Block is just passive mitigation

On average its 15-20% ish depending on shield strength. Making Sheltron roughly inline with other tank shorr defensive cooldown

[polar hound]

blocking is far from weak

tanks are balanced fairly well, just gotta find the playstyle you enjoy.

[slender warren]

what is the warriors short defensive cooldwon version of sheltron?

[faint flare]

Raw intuition

[polar hound]

[faint flare]

And Nascent since they share a cooldown

[little swift]

or nascent flash if the damage straight can't kill you

[warped nest]

!action Raw Intuition

Nascent Flash vs Raw Intuition

See the Link for the math and explanations on the different cases. Make a copy if you want to fool around with the incoming damage values.

Raw Intuition covers 171k damage in this example.
That's worth a Shiva auto-attack and a Ramuh tank buster in total. This is to give Raw Intuition at least two hits worth of damage to mitigate.

[slender warren]

ah i see! thanks!

[little swift]

the only thing that makes paladin sorta squishier is that they lack the self-heal within their basic gcd combo

and also an ogcd healing tool

they have clemency but thats both gcd and not used regularly

[slender warren]

i see!

[polar hound]

and with that, also the strongest invuln in the game..with the longest cd

[slender warren]

and how about gunbreaker? i hear they can have a constant HOT and absorb shield on them?

[little swift]

yes

not constant

[faint flare]

Not constant hot but its free

[little swift]

but 6 ticks of 200 for free is really good

[warped nest]

Brutal Shell is part of Gunbreaker bread and butter single target combo

[polar hound]

also can be casted on others

[faint flare]

It heals the sane as clemency but off global

And as regen

[slender warren]

wow thats awesome

[little swift]

it feels less impactful admittedly compared to warrior's equilibrium

since its not all at once

[warped nest]

Just to be sure, DRK has... Two self heal?

[slender warren]

yeah but wow that seems very stron... regen AND a shield?

[faint flare]

The shield is negligible

It literally blocks like an auto

[little swift]

drk has the basic combo and abyssal drain

if you're looking at hps as well

[faint flare]

Every tank except paladin has a self heal in their basic combo

[polar hound]

generally speaking..it wont be strong enough to make you keep that 'wow' factor

[little swift]

technically TBN is as well

[warped nest]

Cool cool, just want to be sure

[faint flare]

Which is the same thing

[polar hound]

self heals and such are nice in the combo, but really it's not gonna be the difference of a healer using a heal they plan on using anyways

[little swift]

that said, its infinitely comfier when you can control your own hp a bit

[polar hound]

^^

[warped nest]

It is simply very nice to have

[polar hound]

PLD is often offtank and has really great utility which combos nicely with the other tanks...the others have some good utility too but really PLD has been considered 'offtanky' since before when tank stance was on the gcd lol

[analog gate]

can someone register two characters on kupobot or aymeric?

[slender warren]

so if you had like 10 enemies on you constantly damaging you, which tank would be able to survive more than the rest if there was no healer around?

[little swift]

no it overwrites one if you register the other @analog gate

[polar hound]

not to say pld cannot mt, or that mt/ot should be one tank or the other as you swap during fights anyways usually

[warped nest]

Warrior

[analog gate]

ah kk ty

[warped nest]

Nascent Flash self heal scales off how much damage you can dish out

[polar hound]

if the warr times everything right, yeah for sure

warr aoe heals are broke during nascent lol

[warped nest]

It makes your warrior print green color message

[polar hound]

also as a tip for any tank starting...please utilize Arm's Length for aoe pulls and not just knockbacks

[slender warren]

ooo i see, because it slows?

[warped nest]

Yes

[polar hound]

if you have a white mage, be respectful of the Holy spam/Stun duration BEFORE using it :p

[warped nest]

A very important tip I want give to new tank: use your defensive ability at high health

[polar hound]

otherwise you just wastin it 100%

yes please. do not save cds for bosses only

[warped nest]

Using defensive ability at very high health will leave your enemies "more" health to chew through

[polar hound]

use the stronger ones early and you can use them more times during the dungeon/trial/w.e

[wheat plume]

what's the best lvl 60 crafter gear in HW ?

[faint flare]

Ironworks

[naive tartan]

Cooldowns are for preventing damage, not just not dying

[wheat plume]

Do I get them from the same npc in mordhona that sells ironworks for DoM and DoW ?

[warped nest]

They are not the same thing

[polar hound]

it might feel 'right' to save stuff for big bad bosses...but reality is you could be mitigating way more damage through the entirety of the dungeon run if you spread them out/use as you go

[faint flare]

You craft it

[warped nest]

Lvl 60 Ironwork for crafter and gatherer are crafted

(yes, it is plenty confusing)

[warped nest]

To add on this, furthermore, most of your defensive ability are on 60-90s cooldown, which went by quickly in dungeon run

[hardy gazelle]

can you still buy deepshadow gear?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[polar hound]

hunt merchant

[obsidian patio]

From the clan nutty hunt vendor

[wheat plume]

I suposse its from masterbook IV, right? I'm still missing some of them, so can only find crafter ironworks necklace and bracelet

[fierce cobalt]

whats generally considered the easiest white scrip hand in to get the mats yourself for? assuming all your gear is equal (500 handsaint)

[obsidian patio]

Yeah ironworks is in the 4th level books

Though the yellow scrip class-specific gear at 60 will likely be much easier to get

[wheat plume]

nice, will do that

[obsidian patio]

Either Culinarian or Alchemist depending on prices

[wheat plume]

about crafter job quest lvl 60, I'm finding the item to craft for weaver needs a lot more stats than items from other job quests. Is that ok or is there a way to lower the min stats to crafting?

[fierce cobalt]

I guess the lemonade memes I saw are true, thanks

[obsidian patio]

Can’t lower the minimum stats

Again, you can skip the gear progression for making ironworks by buying the yellow scrip gear

[wheat plume]

oh, ok. So weaver lvl 60 quest it's hard mode lol

[silver ruin]

if its hard you probably need better gear

what level is your gear at?

[wheat plume]

I have simillar stats in my crafters, but the item for weaver quest lvl 60 asks like 100 more control than I have to craft it, and with other jobs I already finished quest lvl 60

[silver ruin]

you might wanna update your gear then, generally you wanna change gear every 10 levels 60>70 etc

[wheat plume]

yeah, it just surprised me that the difficulty between crafters suddenly is different

[silver ruin]

im not sure about the requirements for the 60 job quests but seems odd that they have different minimum starting stats

yea thats odd

[light gull]

Those who have bought a house before, do you have to keep trying to buy the house until it works or is there an indicator that tells you it's ready to buy?

[warped nest]

Keep trying

Basically a useless skill

It sees very little use and is basically worthless in dungeons

[sullen phoenix]

I wish you could use it as an interupt skill

[obsidian patio]

Since any damage wakes the monster up

[wheat plume]

I've found the problem, my stats are like 100 less than I had yesterday, dunno why (craftmanship and control)

[sharp dune]

Heyo, I got a question about payment stuff

[sullen phoenix]

Ty for the help ^^

[wheat plume]

the only thing I did was melding some materia to some gear I have with all crafters, and now when I change crafter jobs, it says "Job equipped, but materia and aetherial atributes could not be restored"

[sharp dune]

So I don't want to be automatically subscribed and so I want to remove my card from my account, how do I do this?

[obsidian patio]

When you set up the subscription, click the “cancel subscription “ and it’ll turn the auto renew off

[wheat plume]

Yesterday I didn't have materia on them and I had better stats

[obsidian patio]

You can also use Crysta as a middle man for paying for subscription

[sharp dune]

Ah I was scared to click the cancel because I didn't know if it would prevent me from playing

[obsidian patio]

Just make sure you’re not clicking “Cancel Service Account”

That’s the bad button

[sharp dune]

Ah coolio thanks!

[fallen niche]

So do thunder sprites in Bozja only spawn during the thunder weather?

[faint flare]

Yes

[fallen niche]

alright, where should I go during sunny weather to farm sprites?

[sullen phoenix]

Should I purchase food that is a higher item level than me or should I purchase food around my same item level?

[warped nest]

Neither

[sullen phoenix]

So I shouldn't purchase food?

[warped nest]

Not while leveling

[sullen phoenix]

So just eat whatever the game gives via msq?

[warped nest]

That said, you want your food to closely match your item level, because of how the buff is calculated

Food buff are calculated by percentage, but are capped at a specific value

[sullen phoenix]

Why is it not worth purchasing food while leveling?

[warped nest]

The stat buff is negligible

And if you want the exp buff, you can eat any food, even the cheapest boil egg

[sullen phoenix]

Makes sense. Thanks

[warped nest]

For crafter and gatherer, the stat buff from food is slightly more noticeable, even when leveling

Useful if you need to hit stat breakpoint for your crafter and gatherers

[gloomy mortar]

What are the new breakpoints for gathering and crafting ?

[sullen phoenix]

ty so much @warped nest

[dense hound]

Question of curiosity: can LB attacks crit or direct hit?

[warped nest]

No

[naive tartan]

They're fixed damage iirc

[lunar schooner]

my friend is trying to play with me on brynhildr but he cant make his character because it doesnt allow creation. We have been trying for awhile no with no luck. What would be the test time for him to make the character?

Those that bought a house, when you get say "yes" on purchasing a house, is there another prompt after that?

[smoky hawk]

I just unlocked scrip exchange in idyllshire but its still only level 50 scrip exchange not 60(for gatherers). Is there something else I have to do to unlock that scrip exchange?

[wet cradle]

why is the one weapon red and the other just light? the warrior has arm and armor 50+

[faint flare]

Red is 60/60

[wet cradle]

ahh ty

[obsidian patio]

The level 60 gear is from the nearby scrip people in idyllshire

Though it’s much more convenient to use the splendor vendor near the ishgard aetheryte

[smoky hawk]

talking to the scrip people in idyllshire is only showing the option of the level 50 gear, just like the ones in mor dhona

unless you are saying im talking to the wrong ones?

[obsidian patio]

There’s another vendor by them

But they’re more complex since they want you to spend yellow scrips on tokens to exchange with them

Which you don’t need to do for the ishgard splendor vendor

[smoky hawk]

ahh

so the splendors vendor is the way to get level 60 gear?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[smoky hawk]

ahh okay, did they change the way scrip exchange works recently? googling around showed them having level 60 gear exchange

[slate arrow]

5.4 made it so level 60 gear no longer requires an exchange for Rowena tokens

[obsidian patio]

The HW stuff was just done weird in general

With it introducing the scrip system

[severe shoal]

Hoping someone can help me. I use a controller with ffxiv. I was trying to do maps today so I went to my key items and clicked on my map and something with my buttons started freakin out

So I went to recalibrate and

It’s saying I can’t assign my Y button because it’s already set to a command

[atomic jewel]

my deep dungeon level is at 31-40 but i keep failing the boss, should i just reset it?

[severe shoal]

I looked but I don’t know where I’d find a command it can be linked to

I thought it might be the controller so I used a different one but still having the same issue

[slate arrow]

Which controller is it

It sounds like you'll need to reinstall drivers or do a hard restart

Because it sounds like a driver fucked up and now multiple buttons are bound to the same input

[severe shoal]

They are Xbox gamepads

I tried 2 of them

I restarted PC a few times

Same issue

[elfin edge]

is there a guide somewhere that talks about how exactly the orbs work in emex? my partner and I kept dying even though we're about like half a marker distance apart

[faint flare]

You cant take the same colour orb twice

And need to be decently close to each other and healed, they do a good chunk of damage

[elfin edge]

I mean, I get that part and which way to go, but for some reason either me or my partner or both of us die touching the orb; I think our timing is off but it looked like we were pretty close together

[faint flare]

Snapshots can be an ass sometimes or just need some healing

[elfin edge]

is the actual mechanic that one person pops the orb and the other person has to be within x distance to help tank it? like a stack marker?

[jade quartz]

That’s correct

[faint flare]

They are basically stacks

[elfin edge]

okay so that means that some of the 1st orbs were done correctly possibly; I think we both took about 90% HP damage

could a ping difference screw us up? like if my partner and I have very different pings

[obsidian patio]

Unless it’s very drastic then no

[jade quartz]

Just make sure both of you are within range

Before you pop it

[elfin edge]

hrm I can try next time then, thanks!

I think some of the best runs were when I was the only one who died from popping the orb and I got swiftcast-rezzed

but we couldn't get below 8% for enrage for part 1

[obsidian patio]

Hitting enrage for phase 1 is very

Either you have a lot of deaths or people not having a good handle on their jobs

[crystal bluff]

^

[jade quartz]

Yeah I would drop that party

8% phase 1 enrage is like

[elfin edge]

oh...

[jade quartz]

Very, very poor tbh

[elfin edge]

I think the best run only had a few deaths like 2-3 maybe

[faint flare]

Yeaaah thats a fucking bail

[polar hound]

that's a yikes from me

[jade quartz]

Yeah then people are underperforming pretty severely

[polar hound]

good to learn but..id search for an actual clear party

[elfin edge]

yeah it was a practice party in pf

[faint flare]

Or you know

Someone who can get to phase 2

[polar hound]

yeah lol

[faint flare]

For learning

[polar hound]

Oh i misread..practice party is one thing..basic job knowledge is another..2-3 deaths shouldnt cause that

[elfin edge]

I guess I just don't want to screw up the party if I can't do the bubbles right

[jade quartz]

You can very feasibly learn/clear emerald from fresh in one lockout

[faint flare]

^

[jade quartz]

There’s a trick for orb rotation too

[faint flare]

Theres lioe 2 mechanics..
3 if you didn't pay attention in normal mode

[jade quartz]

If the northwest orb is blue, rotate clockwise

If it’s yellow, anticlockwise.

There are only two possible orb configurations.

[elfin edge]

yeah, partner and I were west, so I think we got that down, but for some reason we just kept dying, so I thought maybe I'm just not synced up enough with him when hitting the orb

[polar hound]

(offtopic but is anticlockwise how you say it where you are?)

[elfin edge]

sometimes he dies, sometimes I die, sometimes we both die

[faint flare]

Just throw all mitigation at the orbs

[jade quartz]

Yeah

[elfin edge]

counter clockwise

[polar hound]

interesting

[faint flare]

If you both die then its healing issue

Cause yoy both got hit

And did the mechanic

But lacked hp

[elfin edge]

oh...

[faint flare]

Orbs do the most damage in the fight

So literally just toss all mitigation at it

[jade quartz]

Yeah healers should chuck everything on orbs

[faint flare]

And get healed up before taking the second

[elfin edge]

I also forgot to meld my gear going in (had a full set of 510 normal raid gear plus 500 resistance weapon and a 520 ring)

[faint flare]

Don't immediately take the next orb

[jade quartz]

Yeah close to boss ring after first orb

Receive heals

[faint flare]

Take orb > centre for a gcd or two > take next

[elfin edge]

oh it's more than 1 gcd in the center?

[jade quartz]

Intercept second orb as it comes toward Center

[elfin edge]

hrm maybe my partner was running out too fast

[faint flare]

You can rotate and stand infront od thr next orb and let it fly into you

[elfin edge]

I think we were told to intercept it on the marker

[jade quartz]

Running out?

Just let it hit you yeah

[elfin edge]

there's like an 8 marker thing on the ground

[faint flare]

The first orb yoy can run out to take

Then come centre for heals and let the next run into you

[elfin edge]

ah

[faint flare]

Do pay attention to it incase it stops due to the opposite orb being taken

[elfin edge]

are the orbs interconnected somehow? like if someone else pops their orb do the orbs stop going in or?

[faint flare]

Otherwise it blows up and wipes

Yes

Like ultima

They're tethered and moved towards each other

They stop if their tethered orb/the opposite orb is popped and they start to cast a wipe aoe

[elfin edge]

okay, so the opposite orbs must be taken by the 2 pairs at the same time?

[jade quartz]

Yeah roughly

[elfin edge]

ah

[faint flare]

You have like 5 ish secs

To take it

[elfin edge]

tbh I was freaking out (first time doing an ex at all) so I wasn't paying attention to what the other side was doing

[jade quartz]

More like 2-3 seconds

[elfin edge]

okay that explains the markers if they want people to hit the orbs at the same time

[jade quartz]

The orbs will all be hit at the same time if you stay on the boss and let them hit.

That way no one’s going to miss out on heals and mitigation.

[elfin edge]

ah I see

now I wonder if the healer died in the first orb because there's definitely a few times when I went inwards and didn't get any heals

[leaden ginkgo]

What level of crafting do I need to have an NPC put Critical Materia onto my gear?

[faint flare]

After you get past orbs nothing interesting happens for the rest of the first phase so

[leaden ginkgo]

level 10 right?

[jade quartz]

You’ll notice the purple tether disappear on your orb if the other side gets there early

[elfin edge]

ah

[faint flare]

They have to be equal level to the gear you're melding

Ie have a lv80 crafter to meld lv80 gear

[leaden ginkgo]

@faint flare Can't you just pay an NPC at Eulmore to do it?

[faint flare]

You can

For a small gil cost

But npcs cant overmeld

[elfin edge]

okay thanks for the emex info; I'll try it out next time!

[leaden ginkgo]

@faint flare ooooh, i was also just wondering what level they'd let me use that service

[faint flare]

You need to unlock materia melding with the quest Waking the Spirit in black brush station

[sullen phoenix]

So I'm reading the master beginners guide and it says to replace outdated gear(5-10 lvs lower) with vendor gear. I'm level 70 with shire set and am about 4 quests into post-dragonsong content. Is it worth getting vendor gear at this point or keeping the shire set until the scavean gear?

[gloomy ice]

Shire is good enough until you reach the level 65 dungeon

[jade quartz]

Err i don’t know what that guide is, but no

You can coast purely on tomestones and dungeon drops

[faint flare]

Vendor gear post 50 is far not worth...well vendor gear in general is trash

[sullen phoenix]

I found it in the #resources channel @jade quartz

[jade quartz]

It’s good advice for sub-level 50

[sullen phoenix]

@faint flare Is that due to the bonus stats?

[jade quartz]

But once you get tomestone gear

That’s better than everything else for five levels

And then you can just use your guaranteed dungeon drops to gradually update it

[sullen phoenix]

And by levels you mean Character level or Dungeon level? @jade quartz

[jade quartz]

What do you mean

[sullen phoenix]

With the shire set its level 60 that should be good for 5-10 levels of your character?

[faint flare]

Its just stats in general. Vendor gear has far less stats than anything else on the same level

[hasty musk]

dungeon level, because character level past the sync level for the dungeon is irrelevant

[sullen phoenix]

thanks all for answering this noobs questions lol

[jade quartz]

I still don’t... really understand the question

You should be doing dungeons at your level

If you’re still doing MSQ then you’re provided with hq gear through quests and this is all somewhat moot

Can just wear that

[sullen phoenix]

@jade quartz The mainstory gear I've aquired up to the content so far is lower than shire set

[jade quartz]

So keep wearing your shire until you get better stuff

Oh I think I see what you’re asking

No don’t go buying gear for like level 70 when you’re skill on level 65 MSQ

[copper pasture]

should i use duty finder for eden savage

[jade quartz]

There’s no significant benefit to you having that yet since you haven’t unlocked any content which is level synced that high

[copper pasture]

or emerald weapon extreme

[jade quartz]

No, party finder

Same for emerald ex

[sullen phoenix]

@jade quartz Thanks!

[copper pasture]

its my first time to do the high end ones

which parties to look for?

[jade quartz]

By the time you’ve unlocked level 70 content you’ll have been given good enough gear to cover you, or access to buy it with poetics.

Learning/practice parties geryu

Start with emerald so you can get the weapon

[karmic niche]

what i spend my max out allegory now?

[faint flare]

Mats to sell

[karmic niche]

any items that i can sell in mb?

which one?

[faint flare]

The new stuff. Like spirit ether etc

[karmic niche]

oh ok

[leaden ginkgo]

so i have a question about the friend referral stuff... i got into the game with one of those codes given to me, and now i'm introducing a friend to the game and we were wondering if i could give him a referral code.

i've been having trouble finding that code and i've assumed it was due to me being referred myself - so is there any way that I can get him a referral code? would i be able to unlink my account from the person who referred me?

[proud willow]

the fact that you were referred shouldn't interfere with anything

there's an image on Mogstation that you click, it says Refer a Friend or something like that

[leaden ginkgo]

where would that be located?

wait - i think i found it!

had to click through a few things

all i had found previously was like that "recruitment code assigned" text or being sent back to the information saying to go to the mogstation

[copper pasture]

should i join a party finder party thats japanese for savage eden

for practice parties

[crystal bluff]

if you can read/write japanese, sure
if not, i probbaly wouldnt recommend it

[hasty musk]

uh

probably shouldn't call japanese "jap" cause that's a slur

[crystal bluff]

whoops

[hasty musk]

as long as you know

[crystal bluff]

yeah wasnt even thinking abt it at the time lol

[plain python]

what is the best to get with bronze's wonderous tail certificate?

[sullen phoenix]

Would you guys recommend switching to White mage if I'm struggling with Scholar heals?

[limber walrus]

white mage is the highest damage dealing healer & the highest potency of healing

from what I have heard

I find it less interesting than Scholar, but still very comfortable class I say

[obsidian patio]

Highest personal damage healer

When you take damage utility Scholar and Astrologian can do more overall damage

[limber walrus]

True

I love scholar personally cause of fairies 😄

[plain python]

@crimson crystal already have full list of bronze minion 😮

[sullen phoenix]

Gotcha

[glacial isle]

Is there a Specialist-equivalent for Gatherer jobs?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[neat mauve]

is this game free to try on console?

i want my brother to try it

[crimson crystal]

Yeah there's a free trial

[neat mauve]

he said he couldnt find it on the PS store, hmm

[crimson crystal]

It's there

[faint flare]

Ps store is wack at points

But its there

[crimson crystal]

https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0082-CUSA00288_00-C000060000000000

[neat mauve]

ty 🙂

[vast torrent]

If I dye an item and then turn it into a glamour in my glamour dresser, will it keep the dye?

[neat mauve]

if you dye it within the dresser i think it keeps

[vast torrent]

Within the dresser?

[raven sage]

It will keep the dye if you put it in the dresser dyed

[vast torrent]

alright!

[raven sage]

But yes you can dye items in the dresser like you can from your inventory

[vast torrent]

[glacial isle]

what is this and should I grab it?

[sullen phoenix]

Ok this may come off as a confusing question so bear with me. If I use a skill that has a gdc and during its animation use another skill that is known as weaving?

I've been looking up guides but I really don't understand the concept very well lol

[mossy elk]

Does anyone know if the Indigo Cloth still drop from the Gliderskin map (solo lvl 80 map) or did SE move it to somewhere else? 'Cause I haven't seen it from that map for awhile and I don't know if I was just having bad luck or not.

[obsidian patio]

That’s for custom deliveries as a gatherer

I think that one is specifically for Zhloe?

[glacial isle]

by the sudden interface evidently

[raven sage]

it does still

[glacial isle]

@obsidian patio what-do

[kind bison]

is there a way to make my carbuncle only to cast gouge?

[stable rock]

Where do you get the lvl 80 job gear if you have already redeemed It but got rid of It?

I don't see it on the salvager

[mossy elk]

I believe you can buy it again where you got it first time.

[versed aspen]

can I play with someone on a different elemental server than me? I'm kujata and they can't make a character on it

[obsidian patio]

Just ignore it if you aren’t doing Zhloe’s collectables

[rare comet]

what's the etiquette for using pf for savage content? Do I have to vc or just communicate in chat

[stable rock]

@mossy elk Thank you m11

[faint flare]

Gouge is Topas auto attack, it automatically does it without any input

[glacial isle]

What does Zhloe's Collectables give?

[faint flare]

Large amount of xp and scrips weekly

Custom deliveries are the big weekly xp/scrip thing for DoH/L

[glacial isle]

Is it SB/ShB exclusive?

[faint flare]

No

Heavensward has zhloe

Just need to be lv60 to unlock, but then you can start turning items into Zhloe at 55

[vital sand]

stuck in mordion gaol for the first time and i havent seen a gm in an hour to tell me why im there

is there anything i can do besides wait

[plucky dawn]

nope

you can't even log out i don't think lol

[glacial isle]

Does Yellow/Green Quartz seriously have 0 purpose?

[warped nest]

Aetherial reduction maybe?

Wait...

[faint flare]

I think its just an old collectible item

Thats stuck around

No uses according to sites now

@opaque pewter centurio seal vendor in rhaglr

[frozen girder]

Is it possible to buy out Jonathas?

[opaque pewter]

Super bigly thanks.

[obsidian patio]

Yes

From my counting you need around 67 tickets, which is 3,350 total achievement points

[leaden ginkgo]

My item gear is to low to do a lvl 50 mission

[obsidian patio]

In comparison, I have around 13800 points

[leaden ginkgo]

where can i buy gear like braclets etc

[obsidian patio]

Do your level 50 job quest

That’ll give a set of gear for you.

As for level 50 accessories your main option is the marketboard and whatever the story gives you

[leaden ginkgo]

marketboard?

sorry im pretty new

[whole wasp]

this one, its in the vendor area of the 3 starting cities

its allows you to buy items from other players

something like this

you cant use it if you are in Free Trial though

[leaden ginkgo]

okay ill try and find one

[austere agate]

How do you get a house? I have a lot of housing garbage filling my inventory and i don't want to sell it

[slate arrow]

get lucky and hope there's an empty house in the housing districts, plus having 3mil+ gil

on top of having a level 50 job + second lieutenant

[whole wasp]

you can dump your stuff into your chocobo saddlebag

[austere agate]

I know

[whole wasp]

or dump your stuff in to your retainer's inventory

[austere agate]

I do that, but the thing is i have too much of that

[faint flare]

Or in apartment/fc room

Those are cheaper and more available

[whole wasp]

if your FC allows you to place outdoor housing, you can make it your FC's problem too

[austere agate]

My retainer inventory is filled with food and housing stuff

[slate arrow]

you can safely discard most food

[whole wasp]

or just eat them

[austere agate]

How i know a house has no owner?

[faint flare]

Open plots have their pricea listed on the ward select

And are marked with a gavel on the map inside

[austere agate]

So

About the apartments

[feral vapor]

<- returning player, quick question. I'm almost at 60lvl and I'm still doing heavensward msq, am I capped at 60 because i'm still in heavensward storyline, or because I own the other expansions, i can already level past lvl60?

[austere agate]

Nope

[whole wasp]

you can level past 60 if you own shadowbringers and have it registered to your game account.

if you cant level anymore, the game will tell you very explicitly, dont worry

[scarlet sandal]

What's the command to show a rotation leveling guide for monk

[austere agate]

You can level up as much as you want if you have the expansions

[feral vapor]

Thanks!

[austere agate]

The only cap is 80

[feral vapor]

Thanks!

[rigid narwhal]

i know of ppl who have been playing for a long long time, have multiple 80's and still have their sprout

it's never been a barrier 😄

[austere agate]

Same lol

[whole wasp]

there isnt one specifically for mnk, you have to look up the mnkguide. Only BLM has one because their leveling rotations change every 10 lvls unlike everybody else

[austere agate]

I've came across a lot of them on roulettes

[whole wasp]

sprout automatically goes away after reaching shadowbringers (clearing "Requiem for Heros" MSQ) and having 168 hours of playtime

[glacial isle]

(or 7 days)

[whole wasp]

if they rush through MSQ, its not inconcevable to reach 5.4 and not have 168 hours of playtime

[potent shale]

Guys how do you trade with the gemstone trader in Eulmore?

I got all my riding maps

[atomic jewel]

How do I leave my current guild?

[faint flare]

Hit rank 3 in all Shadowbringers zones

With the shared fates

[whole wasp]

to unlock eulmore and crystarium traders

[faint flare]

Aka do 66 fates per zone

[whole wasp]

open the free company menu, default ( ; ) on PC, leave button is at the bottom

[atomic jewel]

Thanks bro

[leaden ginkgo]

Why does my Savage VIII Materia only give +6 crit instead of usual +60 ?

[whole wasp]

are you capped on stats?

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

[leaden ginkgo]

when placed onto a 520 Belt. and oh. there is a cap?? wtf

[whole wasp]

looks at the "Why is my meld giving +0 stats?" section

[leaden ginkgo]

oooooooooh\

[warped nest]

This is also why we have melding priorities

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you

I was thinking about whether to buy 510 gear and put crit materia on it or waiting longer for 520 gear

[hot crane]

any aussie or asian players here?

wonder if it's just me laggy

[leaden ginkgo]

does anybody know a link that i could post these errors?

[analog gate]

i'm from SEA and my ping to aether has doubled these last few days

300-400ms

[vast torrent]

When looking at guides on rotations they always say "1st GCD" or "2nd GCD" and i have no clue what they mean

Am I supposed to do 2 rotations at the same time depending on the GCD????????

[faint flare]

Usually when they said it like that, its when you use your raid buffs

Like trick is usually the 4th or 5th gcd

[vast torrent]

like...

Heart of Light?

Like the buff you give for the entire raid?

[faint flare]

2nd gcd HoL can help mitigate early raid wides

Which this tier has in all fightd

But its more so damage buffs

Like 2nd gcd No mercy

[vast torrent]

so a 1st GCD Rotation is a rotation that uses your Raid buff in the first GCD?

[faint flare]

Its where you use your damage buffs after the first gcd yes

[vast torrent]

wait after?

Im sorry higher level shit shortcircuits my brain.

[faint flare]

You use the first gcd then weave it with that gcd

[vast torrent]

so..Use your first skill, use raid buff in ogcd, and continue?

[faint flare]

Yes

[vast torrent]

ok

I didnt realise those are used so early.

not that I have it unlocked anyways

[faint flare]

Again its more damage buffs in general not really mitigation stuff since those are flexible

[vast torrent]

ic

[faint flare]

Since when you use damage buffs matter

[vast torrent]

yeah I could imagine that matters, you want uptime of those damage buffs as often as possible

[faint flare]

For better alignment with downtime and mechanics so you end up getting full use out of each

And potentially getting another use

[robust crow]

anyone an expert at fflogs

i can't seem to get myself to show up in my FC's rankings

though i show up normally on every other log

[manic flare]

how do i save my current character's face/body settings?

after character creation

[faint flare]

Right click at character creation

And save appearance

[manic flare]

what if i've already made the character?

[faint flare]

Right click

[manic flare]

is it possible to save the appearance after i've started the game

[faint flare]

At the character selection

[manic flare]

oh ok

[leaden ginkgo]

regarding summoner after i summon bahamut can i immedietely cast a insta spell right after while it is still in its summoning animation will it still proc wyrmwave?

[faint flare]

Yes

Unlike Phoenix because Everlasting flight is fucking stupid

[leaden ginkgo]

oh i saw a post about that wasn't it a bug?

[faint flare]

Its not for whatever dumb reason

Phoenix just doesn't que actions while casting everlasting flight

Because SE and their infinite pet wisdom

[hasty musk]

are you sure you're putting in your info correctly

[vast torrent]

you might wanna...double check the info for the account? maybe change the password?

[polar roost]

i changed the password 5 mins ago to the one i tried just now even before it was a fresh account so there no way i forgot the password

[vast torrent]

hm..

are you using your username or email to log in?

[obsidian patio]

Square enix store account is not the same as square enix account

If that is what you’re trying

[polar roost]

its a square-enix.com account

when i try to reset the password with the new account i get this "However, this e-mail address is not associated with a Square Enix account. Please verify that your e-mail address is correct and try again." even tho i DID confirm the email ??? im so lost

[hasty musk]

square-enix.com is the store, not the account for the game

[polar roost]

so where do i make one for the game

[hasty musk]

go to the link for the game that was linked to you, and instead of signing in with an existing account, make a new one

[obsidian patio]

God that’s a messy link

[polar roost]

when i tried it said the email was already taken

[polar roost]

says the same so ig i have to make another freakin email

[hasty musk]

if your email is taken then the only thing I can think of is that you're entering your info wrong

idk why or how since you said you reset the password, but

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[polar roost]

when i try to reset the password it sends me an email sying there is no account

yet im logged into it on the browser

Can you still obtain Aetherite earings?

Thats not really how that works for substats in this game

It was a pre-order item so no afaik

@ruby plover is there a way to change the hair also?

[obsidian patio]

Pretty sure you’re stuck as the default look for that race/gender/clan

For the model viewer

[ruby plover]

yeah

[thorn totem]

Yep

Wish we could actually customize our char appearances more, its not too limited for the options or anything, itd just be nice to see more variations.

[glacial isle]

Then what’s the point of introducing material at lvl 15 or whatever and giving them out like candy

[hasty musk]

because it's useful

it's just also unneccessary

[thorn totem]

Material?

What material

[hasty musk]

materia

[glacial isle]

Materia

[obsidian patio]

Secondary Stats work in tiers, and tiers work around level caps.

[glacial isle]

Autocorrect

[thorn totem]

Ah

^^

[obsidian patio]

So for pre-50 hitting better stat tiers is hard with the low grade materia

[thorn totem]

Its pointless unless if youre near max lvl

[glacial isle]

I mean lvl 60 was once max lvl so logically lvl 60 materia would give some bonus

[whole wasp]

yes but lvl 60 materia was for lvl 60 content

[thorn totem]

But some gears spellbound arent at lvl 60

[glacial isle]

Which is all I can do unless I go do something lower

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

Basically just keep trying if your datacenter role is correct

[lime geode]

Any good guides on materia?

[twilit arch]

what about materia, exactly/

[lime geode]

I'm closing in on ilvl 500 with my PLD and figured I should start adding materia

Not sure where to start really.

[obsidian patio]

(2.42 GCD is 1117 skill speed, for reference)

[lime geode]

I'm at 170 ping so I don't really try to double weave - my skill speed says 1338 right now

I see I get materia from planiclusters and stellaclusters - I have about 50 - where do I take them?

[obsidian patio]

There are materia vendors in eulmore and the crystarium

[lime geode]

ok, found em

How do I go about figuring out what each item needs?

[obsidian patio]

Take a look at the secondary stats of the item and follow the priority order kael posted

[jade quartz]

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

[obsidian patio]

As a general rule, the higher secondary stat on the item is already maxed out

[jade quartz]

Note the final 2 paragraphs of the faq

[lime geode]

So VIT is already maxed on this?

[twilit arch]

main stats are always capped on gear (except NQ crafted/vendor gear)

vit is a main stat, and also can't get vit materia anymore so kind of moot

[lime geode]

So looks like I want crit, but how do I know the stat cap?

[vast torrent]

is it even worth to level DoH to sell on the market. I mean. Long time players and raiders by now probably have doh and dol maxxed out so why buy from the market if they can just get it.

[jade quartz]

Crit is maxed on that item

[twilit arch]

crit is maxed as indicated at the bottom of the window

[jade quartz]

You can see that it’s 294/294

[lime geode]

Ah, I see

[twilit arch]

because they're lazy @vast torrent

[jade quartz]

You can also just figure that out by noticing that it’s the higher of the two sub stats on the item

[twilit arch]

plenty of end game crafters don't bother making their own intermediate mats because they have the gil to just buy it

[obsidian patio]

It also takes lots of Gil/time to pentameld gear to do endgame crafting

[lime geode]

Strength and VIT being the main stats?

[jade quartz]

Yes

[twilit arch]

ye

[jade quartz]

Vitality, strength, dexterity, intelligence and mind are the five main stats in the game

[lime geode]

So I just want Direct Hit for that item?

[vast torrent]

Well if thats the case i think ill mainly just level DoL since its pretty much free gil for the time investment

[lime geode]

Since my skill speed is already 1338?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[jade quartz]

Correct

[lime geode]

And I just go and buy Lvl 8 Direct Hit?

[jade quartz]

Yeah

Two of em

[obsidian patio]

Or use your materia tokens for them

[lime geode]

The planiclusters?

[obsidian patio]

If you got ones for grade 8

[lime geode]

I do

[obsidian patio]

Stella clusters are the ones for tier 8

[lime geode]

Uh 24 stellaclusters - never done this yet 🙂

So then the Exarchi Sword is 0/360 Crit Hit - so I just go grab 2 lvl 8s for that?

So essentially for my PLD it's anything not crit gets crit and everything else DH?

[hasty musk]

assuming you have the skill speed you want, yeah

[jade quartz]

Yep yep yep

[lime geode]

Cool. And when I change gear I can pull them out?

[obsidian patio]

Though if you also play warrior you lean more towards determination instead of direct hit

[jade quartz]

You have a 40% chance to successfully retrieve grade 8 materia

[obsidian patio]

Due to Warrior’s skills that always direct crit

[jade quartz]

So you’ll lose some when taking them out

[lime geode]

Only have the PLD leveling for now.

Gotcha

Thanks for the helpful, as usual 😉

[wet cradle]

where do I get party items for use? like the champagne bottle

[onyx kiln]

did some company stuff and noticed this buff, is this something left from a older version of the game or just something your squadron can do?

[twilit arch]

some times the npcs still have old skills that have been removed from the game

refresh is what lucid dreaming is now

[jade quartz]

That’s a mana regeneration buff.

[obsidian patio]

Market board has a bunch of them, I think either miscellany or seasonal miscellany

[twilit arch]

but also had emnity reduction on it as well

[wet cradle]

ahhh

ty

[onyx kiln]

yeah, noticed in some instances of stats or skills from older versions of the game before

[leaden ginkgo]

Heya! Just bought the starter edition and started playing yesterday. I’m playing as a thaumaturgy and was wondering if I’m supposed to be DPS. Also any other tips are appreciated

[fringe osprey]

is there a difference between grand company that matter other than Armour

[timid geyser]

you are a DPS, yes

[obsidian patio]

Not really.

[leaden ginkgo]

Thx!

[oak ice]

No difference between GCs other than looks

[timid geyser]

Not really, they're all the same

oops i'm late

[fringe osprey]

ok tnx

[manic rune]

yeah pick the color you like best lol

[timid geyser]

So basically chose your GC based on your preferences

bruh, thanks. I thought it was a skill and kept looking everywhere

[manic rune]

using potions in your rotation is optional

[twilit arch]

can just skip that part of the opener since its largely for savage/ultimate raiders. just indicating where in the opener you would want to use the potion if you are using it

[oak spindle]

ok so last time i played i had to spam copied factory and e1-4n for gear, what do i have to do now? i havent played since then

[timid geyser]

the newest stuff lol

[twilit arch]

progress eden up thru verse to unlock promise to get your weekly tokens

and unlock puppet's bunker

[oak spindle]

i just came back to ffxiv idek what the newest stuff is

[twilit arch]

to get 490 gear

[oak spindle]

is that the newest alliance raid?

[twilit arch]

puppet's is the 2nd alliance raid

[oak spindle]

ok cool

[twilit arch]

verse is 2nd raid, and promise is the third and final raid

[oak spindle]

is it the same process with getting tokens from puppets for weapon?

[twilit arch]

also if you have any phanta, go to mor dhona to convert to allegory

[oak spindle]

ok

[twilit arch]

hm, personally wouldn't bother with the tomestone weapon unless you don't have the shadowbringers relic quest chain unlocked

or are willing to spend gil on exarchic stuff

[oak spindle]

shadowbringers relic quest?

alright i'll probably just buy this exarchic weapon

[twilit arch]

it requires you to have completed the return to ivalice (lv70) alliance raids to unlock

then it'll be unlocked in kugane but may be more time consuming to do if you've not already got that done, than its worth

[oak spindle]

is that the royal city of rabanaste etc or am i thinking of the wrong thing?

[manic rune]

yeah it's that

[oak spindle]

oh ok

[twilit arch]

ye, rabanastre/ridorana/orbonne are the 3

[oak spindle]

yeah i've only done the first 2 but i can probably do the third easily

so are relic weapons better than the exarchic ones?

[twilit arch]

no, the exarchic are stronger atm

but the relic is fairly easy to get, and its "free" ilvl500 weapon

[oak spindle]

oh i see

i'll start with completing orbonne then

[wet cradle]

can the flower crown be crafted/bought anywhere?

[twilit arch]

its an old event item, so mogstation

[wet cradle]

hmm I cant find it

is it seasonal?

[twilit arch]

https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/product/632

its under the armour section since its just a single piece of gear

[wet cradle]

ahh hthank you!!!!

[peak kayak]

Hello there :)
Just joined the discord channel.
Im wondering if there is some channel or other discord server to find people for castrum (bozja)?

[oak spindle]

do i complete all of these or just up to the city of lost angels

[ornate mango]

the last three are not required for the relic storyline

[oak spindle]

ok

[worn granite]

@peak kayak this might help - https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/jexszw/how_to_know_when_castrum_is_going_to_spawn_in/

[peak kayak]

Thank you guys!

@wind skiff thanks for the link. I also was doing it yesterday and realized it was in some Kind organized. I have a friend who still needs castrum though, so I wanted to know how it Was organized :) 👍

[wind skiff]

oh, im just telling people "doing a run tomorrow at this time" then I'll @ the role we have to fill it

it's hard to fill parties nowadays

[raw granite]

What's snagging used for ?

[wind skiff]

but you only need about one party

comprising of a lot of rez mages

[worn granite]

@raw granite increases chances of catching things that aren't catchable with your combo/area

[whole wasp]

snagging lets you "fish" for treasure maps

thats the most common usage for it that i know of

[worn granite]

oh wait, am i thinking of snaggling

[obsidian patio]

I think it works on a few “fish” like coral-like ones

[worn granite]

some fish require it to be on

[obsidian patio]

But they’re very few and far between

[worn granite]

it doesn't hurt to turn it on - it's passive once it's on

it adds a few fish to the catchable options, depending on area

and maps, yea, i forgot about maps

[raw granite]

Release's only for not cluttering your inventory ? There's no other use ?

[worn granite]

basically, it doesn't hurt to turn it on, and can provide some occasoinal benefit

[obsidian patio]

Pretty much, yes.

Though if you can spare the inventory it’s good to keep the fish to sell to a vendor or the marketboard

To recoup the cost of bait

[worn granite]

yep

it's valuble till you hit 80

I desynth all my fish though

[whole wasp]

there is a hyper meme where release has slightly faster animation for ocean fishing if i recall

[worn granite]

get some of that bait back

[whole wasp]

else, its pretty useless

[worn granite]

rip that fish open and see what falls out xD

[obsidian patio]

Sand. It’s always sand.

[worn granite]

bait!

[manic rune]

always sand.

[worn granite]

i get bait sometimes

[whole wasp]

I hate sand, it gets everywhere

[raw granite]

Yeah I gotta unlock desyntg

[whole wasp]

need a lvl 30 CUL to desynth fish iirc

[worn granite]

i'm leveling ARC right now to get BRD

the chain requirements are ... fun

but leveling CUL early on is easy as heck, if you have GIL to waste

[raw granite]

I'm 50 in every craft job

[worn granite]

oh

[raw granite]

My only problem is my 44 fisher

[worn granite]

then just right click and desynth it

also - have you done ocean fishing?

[raw granite]

Nah

[worn granite]

mad XP in limosia

you'll hit 80 in no time doing ocean fishing

[raw granite]

Like I unlocked it, but everytime I go check it's not the right time

[worn granite]

it's on a schedule

you gotta be there a minute before, or up to 5 minutes after, the hour

you can ask the NPC the schedule

it's how i leveled FSH straight to 80 in no time at all

[whole wasp]

ocean fishing is also super cheap

since you just use lvl 1 gear and the special bait thats dirt cheap

[worn granite]

yea, NPC nearby sells the bait for dumb cheap

on the docks

it's ... every 60 minutes, i think?

for the boat

[slender warren]

heya all 😄 thanks for all the help yesterday with the tanking questions, just wanted to ask, i assume that AST shields are not as strong as SCH shields right? I just keep thinking, wouldnt AST theoretically contribute better because they can shield (if you like shielding) AND buff party dps at the same time?

[raw granite]

seems to be every 2h eorzea time

[worn granite]

oh heck, i couldn't tell you that, i'm a BLM explody gal

[obsidian patio]

Every 2 earth hours

[worn granite]

@raw granite oh yea, it's 2 hours real time

just mark the time and try and hop a boat

[raw granite]

Aaaand I'm in

[worn granite]

it's super fast XP

[raw granite]

Apparently

Oh it's real time, no ET

That sucks

[obsidian patio]

So just need to remember if it starts on an even or odd hour for your time zone

[raw granite]

odd, it'd seem

[worn granite]

@raw granite good luck! party members should shout out the right bait, if you don't have it, there's an NPC on the boat that can sell it

but be quick!

[whole wasp]

yes, ASTs are always welcome because of the buffs. The shield healer and HoT healer thingy is a meme. All 3 healers can heal and shield. Their niche is what DPS they have to sacrifice to heal people and what kind of tools they have avaliable to them

[raw granite]

I DON"T HAVE ACCESS TO MY SADDLEBAGS ! MY BAITS ARE IN THE SADDLBAGS

[slender warren]

thanks so much! i didnt know that WHM could shield 😮
