[leaden ginkgo]

And I really like it

[forest sage]

that's just Orchestrion I think?

[faint flare]

He means the music

[forest sage]

oh there's sound

[faint flare]

Its the tune from the Dwarve beast tribe area

[twilit arch]

Watts's Anvil Orchestrion Roll

[open rivet]

Hiya, is there a dyable version of these?

[leaden ginkgo]

i thought HW fates have 100% drop rate tho?

[twilit arch]

which is bought from the dwarf beast tribe vendor, needs honored rep to be able to buy it

[obsidian patio]

#603040858782040095

[twilit arch]

there's almost no dyeable accessories afaik

[leaden ginkgo]

wouldnt it be faster if you had a group doing HW fates

[faint flare]

Yes but with a good farm group, you're killing like 50 mobs in rapid succession and the drop rate doesn't matter

[open rivet]

:O - then, is there perhaps a list of this model w/ other colours?

[leaden ginkgo]

ohhh so you’re not supposed to do fates at all for bozja

[faint flare]

No

Fates are ONLY for xp

Mobs are for memories, clusters and fragments

[leaden ginkgo]

O:

what about Fate mobs?

[wintry chasm]

@open rivet

[faint flare]

They're shit

[wintry chasm]

Garlandtools is your friend

No idea if they actually look different though

[faint flare]

Anything relating to fates are only for xp in bojza

[manic flare]

can u dye shire accessories?

[twilit arch]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

kk tysm, does it matter which mobs u farm

[little swift]

typically people do magitek ones for cluster and fragment farming at the same time

[leaden ginkgo]

oh those rly annoying ones that follow u everywhere and hit like a truck

[open rivet]

thank you <3

[leaden ginkgo]

oh shiz lol i haven’t unlocked that much

[faint flare]

There's a spot in zone 1 you can group magitek

[little swift]

https://imgur.com/a/fushtgX

here's the full image

[faint flare]

Ideally your party spreads out in all 3 zobes

Bloodsucker warriors can solo mass pull

For further spread out

So you can 2/2/2 split with the last 2 off somewhere with another group

More you spread = mobs you kill = more chances to roll the drop table = more drops

[leaden ginkgo]

i get drops even if i’m like 2 zones away?

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

thought i’d have to tag mobs

cool

[faint flare]

Its given to all party members

Should one drop

[leaden ginkgo]

makes sense

ty :)

[steep musk]

@obsidian patio thank you

[modest igloo]

ok got it, then its good that i dont have to focus on getting all my crafters up for 5.5

[frozen girder]

Wait

Do they increase gear level to equal patch?

[onyx kiln]

is the zodiac brave part the most time consuming one for the ARR relics?

[frozen girder]

Ex. 5.0 has 500 level, 6.0 600 level etc

[obsidian patio]

Eureka is more time consuming the first time around, but Zodiac is definitely pretty time and Gil consuming

[twilit arch]

well, 5.0 didn't release with 500 gear

[frozen girder]

Oh

[twilit arch]

500 wasn't released until 5.2

[frozen girder]

Where do I get these

They aren't on my gathering list ._.

[twilit arch]

you need Tome of Botanical Folklore - Norvrandt

they're legendary node items

[frozen girder]

ffs

That's why I need them for my Master Weaver recipe?

Cries

[twilit arch]

master recipe crafts generally are going to need legendary node materials

[leaden ginkgo]

If I buy some stuff from mogstation while sub is inactive will I receive items next time I sub and log in?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[forest sage]

last time I bought duskblooms there were like 50g each on the market

[grizzled gyro]

Ok so I already have a Square Enix account with Shadowbringers included. My subscription ran out and I am from europe. I did not buy the game from steam but from the main site. Can I use steam to get a monthly subscription to my current account?

[warped nest]

No

[grizzled gyro]

How does it work if I buy it from steam?

[faint flare]

You need a whole new account

[warped nest]

It won't work

[faint flare]

If you want to be with steam

Completely new

[grizzled gyro]

But like what will happen

[warped nest]

You can only have either main site or steam

[faint flare]

Nothing

You'll waste money

And have a unusable code

[warped nest]

You can buy steam, but your registration code cannot be used in your main site version

[faint flare]

For your account

[grizzled gyro]

Oh so Ill receive a code

I see

[faint flare]

You use the code to activate and link steam to your Mogstation

[grizzled gyro]

Ahh

[faint flare]

But since you already own it on pc you cant

[grizzled gyro]

Alright I understand thanks

[midnight magnet]

What stats are bis for crafting right now

[little swift]

it depends on entirely what you need and what foods/syrups you'd use to compensate the difference

typically speaking you'd max out your CP > then meld CMS to hit the breakpoint to comfortably finish the hardest crafts you'd want to do > dump the rest in ctrl

[little swift]

how far into the main story quest are you? if you finished based heavensward you can go to idyllshire and spend your allagan tomestones of poetics on gear

does the guildwork plugin for XIV still work?

this rollover is "weekly reset" right?

@gaunt mesa teleport to foundation and talk to the blue bag npc and they'll have sections for it, but only if you've finished base hw iirc

[crystal bluff]

also if youre spending poetics and have no shire gear, you should grab weapon>chest>legs before anything else

[hybrid tide]

hey guys, i just downloaded ff14 online. i have my character creation open and now i need to chose a server. so i chose the light datacenter and the only available servers right now are Twintania, Odin, Zodiark, Lich. im coming from a pretty dead game (lord of the rings online), so the least thing i want is a low populated server. so my question now is, which of those available servers should i chose? other than being a busy server, i look for a beginner friendly and nice community. im also german, so i dont mind a server with more german ppl on it, its not a must tho, i also like international. if anyone can give me insight or recommendations, id really appreciate it. thanks!

[faint flare]

Shiva is the unofficial german server

No server is dead

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)

[faint flare]

Read here

[hybrid tide]

yes, i researched a bit and wanted to go on shiva but i cant create a charater there

[crystal bluff]

try waiting until later at night, when its off peak

oh
its like 1 am over there isnt it

[hybrid tide]

oh the restriction can change in a matter of hours? i kinda assumed its a longer restriction until other servers got more ppl etc

[faint flare]

Midnight

[hybrid tide]

its 1 am almost yes

[faint flare]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

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.

[hybrid tide]

actually it is 1 am

[faint flare]

It changes based on people online

So late night/early morning is best

[hybrid tide]

ohh, ok thats good to know thank you

!Twintania

!status Twintania

[zinc orbit]

Information

Twintania is currently Online
This server is currently: Preferred

[agile laurel]

#kupo-bot-spam

[hybrid tide]

i could find information on shiva being the goto for german players, is there a goto nationality for twintania and lich aswell, or are they all mixed? i couldnt find specific information on those

[open ember]

its known to be the german server

[little swift]

not every server is unofficially a goto

[open ember]

its just always been like that

[faint flare]

All servers are primarily English, just that Shiva has a good amount of germans

[agile laurel]

Unrelated, but if all the localisations beside EN operate (mostly) with the Thundara-Thundaja convention over Thunder I-IV, how does that read for rdm spells?

just like... verthundara?

[faint flare]

However since they're all on light, you can world visit there and you'll br qued with people from there

Queing is cross server and world visit lets you go to other servers on the data centre with minor limitations

[hybrid tide]

@little swift thats waht im thinking, so i wanted to know if there is on for twintania for example or if its just all balanced out, bc i wouldnt like to join a server where most ppl speak french for example, or any language that i dont speak

[little swift]

that wouldn't matter much anyways

[agile laurel]

to clarify what vinyl said, world visiting doesn't influence what players your DF queues with, only your language set does that

[faint flare]

Again refer to the worldpick faq

[little swift]

everything is cross data center for content

[agile laurel]

but it does influence what players you see in the world

[faint flare]

Those are the only worlds with anything noticeable

[little swift]

if it does end up bothering you that much just world visit

or make a transfer

[hybrid tide]

@agile laurel yes thats what i mean with this concern, i know there is cross server for activities

[agile laurel]

Honestly, you're likely going to have to put up with many players you see in instances being English

It's a similar thing EN speaking players playing on JP datacenters for ping reasons face

You could world visit to Shiva to see predominantly German players in the world, and you can set your language to DE for duty finder to prioritise you in German speaking groups

but you can't do any more than that

[hybrid tide]

im completely fine with english, every mmo i palyed i played in english and in international guilds. i just dont like seing the chat and ppl i meet in the world talking mostly a language that is not english or my nativ... if that makes sense

[agile laurel]

Oh. My bad, came in here late

Same case, though

Albeit to a lesser extent, because the majority weighted language of the DC is likely to be english

[faint flare]

You'll see the occasional like French, Spanish etc but again. Most people are primarily English

[agile laurel]

EU realms have a major clash of language barriers and it's just kind of how it is

[faint flare]

Except on the noted servers

[agile laurel]

it shouldn't be too much a hassle really

[pearl perch]

hi o/
what's a good discord to look for bozja stuff for ragnarok (especially castrum)

[agile laurel]

BA discord covers bozja

should be in the #resources channel

[pearl perch]

BA?

[agile laurel]

baldesion

castrum but eureka, but that doesn't really matter

they cover castrum organisation, regardless

check there

[hybrid tide]

wdym with noted servers exactly. where can i see the list?

[faint flare]

[agile laurel]

bottom text.

[hybrid tide]

oh on the bottom, i missed that earlier ty

[lost grove]

When should I upgrade from exarchic gear for my whm n ast

[agile laurel]

when you're able to get tome gear

[faint flare]

When you get higher ilvl gear

[hybrid tide]

i see twintania for example has a note, for new characters gaining more exp. i guess thats bc they want more ppl on the server. is that also tied to players logged in like the restriction we mentioned earlier?

[lost grove]

How long will that gear take to farm

[pearl perch]

is the BA discord the one named "Primal Baldesion Arsenal"

[faint flare]

Yes

[hybrid tide]

okay thanks

[faint flare]

Any servers not classed as Congested are subject to the temporary character lock

[faint flare]

A full set will take several weeks due to only getting 450 tomes a week

[agile laurel]

yes

[hybrid tide]

i guess ill wait a few hrs and see if i can join shiva, if not ill go for any other non language specific server. thanks guys

[left moth]

PBA changed name to primal forays a bit after bozja was announced

[open coral]

About 2 weeks each for chest/legs, 1.5 weeks for head/gloves/feet, and less than a week each for accessories.

[faint flare]

Then 7 weeks for a weapon due to the blade weekly

(or 3 if you get it via savage)

[open coral]

^

[true marsh]

for the blm leveling rotation in the faq, it only mentions transpose for sub 40, is it just assumed that you use it whenever you switch from B3 to F3 or do you stop using it after 40 for some reason?

[open coral]

So assume about 2 months' time investment, if you're remembering to cap tomes every week.

[faint flare]

B3 and fire 3 swap your stwnce

So transpose isn't needed

You only transpose when you have nothing to hit to keep your stance up

[true marsh]

oh, interesting I guess I missed the part where it says AND instead of OR

[warped nest]

Yeah BLM rotation changes as they level up, because they gain new traits

That's why a cheat sheet is made to assist new players

[open coral]

Of all the dps rotations in the game, BLM is the one that changes the most drastically between early and late game.

[agile laurel]

with the exception of flare, with no screwups past 40 you should always have enough MP for the reduced cost B3

[warped nest]

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM leveling rotations

[agile laurel]

and by the time you unlock Despair at 72, you've also unlocked the trait which allows a B3 with zero mp if you have 3 astral fire

[lost grove]

@faint flare oh

[warped nest]

It is Freeze, not B3

Freeze is AOE version B3

But yeah, everything else is correct

[true marsh]

So for the post 40 rotation it's just B3 T3 F3 then F1 spam until you need to switch to B3 again? You only use F3 once in order to switch stance?

[faint flare]

Yes

Fire/bliz 3 are ONLY for swapping stance

(or whenever you get firestarter proc for fire 3)

[true marsh]

hmm okay

[warped nest]

Your Fire 1 is more damage/MP efficient

[raw solstice]

F3 costs too much MP and take too long to cast to be worth casting as filler for AF, instead of F1

[faint flare]

Fire 3 isnt a upgrade of fire 1

[warped nest]

Compared to your F3

[raw solstice]

and yeah, the chance of a proc (which as mentioned, you don't interrupt or delay a cast to use a proc when you get it)

[warped nest]

Please take note that the blmleveling above is just a general rotation

Additional optimization etc are discussed on endgame guide

[true marsh]

mhm

thanks for the help

[warm lily]

Is it worth to do all the side quests

[faint flare]

Yellow is only for lore

Primarily

[true marsh]

and to get rid of the annoying markers on your map

[warped nest]

Good way to kill time if you are waiting for queue, I guess

[cold steppe]

is there ANY diffrence between schoolar pixies?

[vocal shell]

No

there used to be but now it’s just cosmetic differences

[cold steppe]

so i guess one of'em can leave the hotbar lol

[vocal shell]

pick whatever you like the look of

[heady knot]

anyone knows the drop rate for emerald weapon mount?

[faint flare]

Low

[heady knot]

yes i know is low but how low do u know

[faint flare]

There's never any hard numbers

Unless its guaranteed

[heady knot]

ok

well i guess i keep farming it then

[cold steppe]

wait, schoolar doesnt have any GCD aoe heals?

[raven sage]

That's technically succor

[little swift]

You use succor and whispering dawn as your only aoes until you get indom

[cold steppe]

oh wait im behind with quests on schoolar lol

im so stupid lmao

[warm snow]

Your bubble will eventually give regen

But yeah only one gcd aoe heal

[cold steppe]

gochu, well i just kinda want to give schoolar/whm a bit more attention to get to know what i can actually afford with AST when co-healing with'em

also mostly same-gear used so thats also nice.

[warm snow]

Sch is interesting but can get messy.

Just don't be that guy spamming physick

[cold steppe]

if i manage to somewhat play AST i assume it wont be that hard to learn Schoolar.

in fact i'd say i have the opposite problem, sometimes i heal too late cuz i want to do a bit more dps than i should've. lol

but yeh thanks for the answer, i thought the skill is being unlocked naturally but im really behind SCH questline cuz i initially started game as summoner, so while my SCH is 60, he's at jobquest 35.

[warm snow]

Yeah your job quests are super important from up to level 60

[little swift]

70*

[warm snow]

Upside only the lv70 quest gives a skill in sb

[little swift]

You lose out on the stormblood capstone

[warm snow]

So you can binge those all in one go

[little swift]

So the entire chain matters

[cold steppe]

if all classes are the same you can do 60-70 in one go, given thats how AST worked, i think.

[warm snow]

That is how it works

All the 1-60 stuff you should be doing as they become available

[cold steppe]

i'll do, as i said i initially played summoner so even if i never played SCH, i have it at 60, thats why i got confused by the lack of skills, and most importantly, aoe heal. lol

[lavish vortex]

hi!!, i remember theres a Japanese web page where you can see pictures of all the gear in the game, do you guys know which one i mean?

[little swift]

@lavish vortex ffxivcollection

[lavish vortex]

thanks!

[lavish tulip]

I just got the game and I'm playing as a Thaumaturge. But I heard you can play multiple jobs on the same char. Should I wait until a specific level before I try (and level) other jobs?

(Also, I plan on playing Black Mage, White Mage, Ninja and Samurai but I'm worried I won't have enough xp to level them all)

[little swift]

Exp is not a finite resource

You can switch to another job any time after you have completed the lv10 job quest of your first one

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

[lavish tulip]

Thank you!

[warm snow]

Also you'll start as conjurer to become a white mage and pugilist to become a monk, gridania and uldah respectively

[lavish vortex]

is there a dyeable version of this gear?

[twilit arch]

yes, its from eden's gate savage

[lavish vortex]

but it doesnt give me the option to dye it

[twilit arch]

edengate is the normal mode version of the gear

edengrace is the savage version, and is dyeable

[lavish vortex]

ohhh so i have to get the savage one by doing shiva savage??

[twilit arch]

no, shiva is verse

you need to do titan

[lavish vortex]

ohhh, i can say good bye to that then lol

thanks!!!

[leaden ginkgo]

What's the name of this gear? Is it also for tanks to glamour it?

oh it's eden?

[faint flare]

Its the gear from Eden gate

[leaden ginkgo]

ouch e ouch

[faint flare]

Again. Normal mode is undyeable, savage is dyeable

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks, Vinyl.

Faster than light.

[faint flare]

Savage will get easier and easier to do as patches go, especially whenever unsync comes next patch

[leaden ginkgo]

When you say "unsync" is it what I think and hope it is? Meaning, you can que for dungeons with others but you will not get synced/scaled down to lowe lvls?

Please, tell me it is what I think and hope it is.

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

wetgfjwwjrgw

[faint flare]

You turn off the sync

[leaden ginkgo]

You are lying.

[faint flare]

And enter as you are

[leaden ginkgo]

It can't be.

lol

So, like, I can play unsync and still do low content with other new players and they still gonna get exp?

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

aww

[faint flare]

You enter as you are

Party and all

All non current expansion content can be unsynced

[leaden ginkgo]

Still, eden verse and savages are supremely hard already for people at my lvl gear -lvl 80 with more than 390ilvl gear - if they bringing unsync to them, are they also gonna nerf them for solo run ?

[terse grail]

So for more difficult things like old savage fights, you don't have to go find a static and learn the fights from scratch, you can just go in at level 80 with all your gear and even solo some of them

[faint flare]

The fights don't get changed

You just end up out gearing them

[leaden ginkgo]

damn

[faint flare]

With unsync

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[whole wasp]

yes but specifically, coerthas western highlands

[terse grail]

Also to note, eden won't be unsyncable until the next expansion 6.0 when we get level 90

[leaden ginkgo]

Still though, good news, that makes me more interested in doing these so I can get the eden set .

[faint flare]

With higher levels and gear, it means the fight dies quicker and you can potentially ignore some mechanics unless they're instant kills

[leaden ginkgo]

Can I still get these armor piece drops if I play this with other OP players?

[faint flare]

Its in chests so yes

[leaden ginkgo]

oh nice

[obsidian patio]

Coffer drops are unchanged when unsynced

[faint flare]

It will always drop

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay, thank you, everyone!

Now, if only I could find 13 euro.... 😔

[faint flare]

Even these days you can skip the final phase of e4s

Next expansion probably kill it before uplift 2

[terse grail]

BUT, ilvl doesnt sync by default, so you can go in and try to learn older eden fights with the i500+ gear and the dps checks are negligible. Just gotta learn some of the mechanics. You also get echo which gives you more damage and hp

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh, so that's how they going to help you "counter" these things solo.

[lone zephyr]

question

[leaden ginkgo]

Makes sense.

[wheat plume]

so Central Highlands did have snow before the calamity?

[little swift]

we say dps checks are "negligible" but having absolutely no idea how to play your job means you do 0 damage and still see mechanics

[faint flare]

And deaths with weakness

[lone zephyr]

do i have to help a lot at fates to drop atma thingies? (doing arr relic)

or can i just kill a single mob and pray

[leaden ginkgo]

I wonder though, can a DRK even do these contents? Odin fight seems very good to me since I am more than geared enough for this, but what about these savage modes?

[faint flare]

If your rng sucks you may have to do a far number

[wheat plume]

I dont know why in the botanist job quest lvl 60, the Gysahl from Coerthas from 100 years ago was recognised as suited for "cooler lands", like the ice and snow in coerthas was from that age

[terse grail]

Yep, what channy said. You still want to be semi-proficient with your job. Extreme level skill is what's probably expected

[faint flare]

Any job can unsync content

[little swift]

you have to complete the fates. its dropped randomly on completion

so if you have some sort of god tier luck it'll take 12 fates total

[lone zephyr]

oh so it doesnt matter if i killed 20 mobs or 1

as long as it completes

[little swift]

but realistically it won't

[faint flare]

Whether or not you can solo the fight depends on the fight itself and mechanics and how outgeared you are

[little swift]

you should try to get as much contribution to every fate you do

[leaden ginkgo]

Alright, whenever, someday, somehow, I'll sub up, I will finish up with the whole Eureka thing and go for Eden. Glamour at its finest. Also, how do we get easy and fast gil, again?

crafting?

[lone zephyr]

is that confirmed to raise the odds of dropping?

or wha

[little swift]

no

its just completion of a fate is mandatory

and if you do nothing

[terse grail]

There's no such thing as easy and fast gil. Everything will take time, effort, or both

[little swift]

chances are no one else is around to do the fate for you

[whole wasp]

im not 100% sure but its super obvious in western highlands like that cruise liner in the middle of a frozen lake and the broken aetheryte on the meeting of 2 rivers
edit: the farm buildings when western highlands was temperate are still there

[terse grail]

Even crafting will take quite a bit of effort to get going, geared, and then the time to craft and gather stuff to sell

[little swift]

also iirc not getting gold rating means you don't even have a chance of it dropping

[leaden ginkgo]

Thought so, putting both time and effort on gil on a sub game is kinda ruining it for me.

But, 30 days give or take, I can try to do something.

[terse grail]

I mean what do you even need the gil for

This game barely uses it for most things

[leaden ginkgo]

To buy the logos things and dodge most of the annoying eureka quests.

[high owl]

Hey does anyone know how to unlock Levequests for Blacksmith's(I'm a lv 51 paladin)

[terse grail]

Well eureka itself is a timesink

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm halfway there, but they told me I can just buy stuff from market and finish in like an hour or wo.

two

[terse grail]

I spent around 700k I think on eureka stuff to get all my logos actions

[leaden ginkgo]

They are like 50 for the dyable armor, right?

[faint flare]

50 actions

[terse grail]

And 700k isn't anything too difficult to come buy, you can easily come across that much just by doing roulettes and playing the game for a bit

[wheat plume]

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

[terse grail]

Not to mention eureka has rare drops that sell for a fuckton

[leaden ginkgo]

I may have to hop from server to server to look at every single marketplace for the cheapest logo and crystal thingies.

I may need around 1 mil gil or more

depending..

[high owl]

@wheat plume but it won't give me the options to do the quests because it keeps saying im not reading yet when im a lv 21 blacksmith

[leaden ginkgo]

Tom Nook paid them to not let you progress so you will be forced to return to the island.

[wheat plume]

you could do until lvl 20 levequest then, go to the npc and select (IIRC) trade-something, then select the icon of blacksmith

[obsidian patio]

To unlock leves go to your starting city’s adventurers guild and do the “leves of x” quest there

That’ll unlock the leve system

[high owl]

I'm still confused, because everytime I go up to the person in (limsa lomnisa) she keeps telling me that I can't do it @wheat plume

[obsidian patio]

What was your starting class?

[high owl]

gladiator and then paladin

[obsidian patio]

Go to Ul’dah.

Do the “leves of x” quest at the quicksand and you’ll unlock it for the other city-states

[high owl]

it lets me do it for Ul'dah when i'm in gladiator but not for blacksmith though

[obsidian patio]

That’s intentional. You have to do the trial leve to complete the quest

[high owl]

so i have to do it in gladiator first before being able to do leve quests for other subclasses?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[high owl]

checking now......

okay doing it now

gonna see where it goes

[covert eagle]

Hello everyone! Idk if this is the right section to ask, but is there a lvl50 weaver who would be willing to craft me a tatami floor? I'll supply the materials of course! ^.^

[high owl]

OKAY ITS WORKING NOW

THANK YOU SO MUCH @obsidian patio

that was getting annoying cause I couldn't figure it out

[crystal bluff]

does dnc not have a level 80 quest?

[obsidian patio]

It does.

[crystal bluff]

thats odd, its not showing up

[obsidian patio]

The level 80 job quests don’t appear in the MSQ tracker since they only give a title and some materia

[crystal bluff]

ah

but i have to do it to get the special armor right?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[warped nest]

Not necessary

[crystal bluff]

oh

[obsidian patio]

The location for it is at is where you unlocked the class, near the fishing guild

[warped nest]

Reaching 80 and completing the matching role quest are the only requirements

[crystal bluff]

thx

[wheat plume]

What's the fastest way to get company seals, besides turn in gear at gc ?

or which is the fastest way to get gear that can be turned in to get good qty of seals?

[obsidian patio]

Spam level 50-59 dungeons solo undersized

[slate arrow]

using poetics

[wheat plume]

lvl 60 dungeons dont give good gear for seals?

[slate arrow]

the amount isn't that much of an increase

since level 60 dungeons scale from ilvl 150 to 270

[obsidian patio]

You also have to consider the time spent killings mobs and the bosses

And any possible mechanics

[wheat plume]

all my jobs have ilvl 270, do you recommend soloing unsync 50-59 with dps or tank?

[obsidian patio]

With level 60 gear you probably will only be able to do the lower end of level 50 dungeons

Like Amdapor Keep and Wanderer’s Palace

[wheat plume]

do u recommend to do main scenario roulette to get poetics to buy gear and turn in, or for get more company seals is it better to spend time in the dungeons?

[slate arrow]

dungeons

MSQ roulette just takes too long

[warped nest]

Roulette is 500-600 per run...

Unless somehow you get 300 per dungeon

[slate arrow]

that's only about 3-4 accessories per dungeon while you can easily get 3-4 gear pieces a run in significantly less time in the dungeons

but that's a lot of math I'm not smart enough to do

[pale saffron]

how do you find FCs?

[warped nest]

Oh, nvm, my bad, Industrial, I thought the goal is poetics

For getting seals, yeah, just do dungeons

[obsidian patio]

@pale saffron #recruitment-primal and the community finder website

Also asking ingame in populated areas like the main city marketplaces

[pale saffron]

ah ok, thanks

[solid crown]

More of an advice based quesiton but uh, I'm looking to do my first extreme, Hell's Kier, to start farming for the Euphonious Kamuy. Any advice on how to find a trustworthy party for it and what to expect? I've done plenty of raids and such and do well in those but this seems kinda scary, as weird as that sounds.

[faint flare]

Party finder and do it unsynced

With unsync you more or less can ignore most mechanics or skip them

[warped nest]

Do it unsynced, study up on guide videos from Stormblood Era (unless you manage to find unsync guide), and make your own note on what mechanics you skip or need to handle when unsync

Don't be afraid to practice

[forest sage]

assumign decent DPS, there's basically no mechanics anymore

but might as well watch a guide

oh just hte phoenixes at the start

have to do that properly still

[warped nest]

Hell Kiers has a few knock back moves

And the symbol stuff gives vuln up

[forest sage]

na if you have good DPS you skip all of them

[warped nest]

It is still very easy to snowball if people start panicking

[forest sage]

in P2 with good DPS you go straight from her big aoe into dancing phase, and she dies before it's over(even if people just eat all the tiles)

[gritty oracle]

All houses can only have 2 tenants, regardless of size, right?

[warped nest]

Don't forget the 180 deg kick knock back following the tank buster

No, ask

[forest sage]

even with bad DPS she doesn't do a tank buster anymore(unless it's REALLY bad)

worst case is you get the first pull > dance 1 > dance 2

[gritty oracle]

also 1. you can survive like 1-2 phoenixes reviving if they don't tether, and you can even survive an explosion
2. even with good dps you still have to sit through one rune

[leaden ginkgo]

hey all, i got a silly, probably dumb confusing question

a long time ago, i bought ff14 on steam. i played up to the old free trial (i think it was up to 35 or something at the time?). but now, i'm replaying it off of square's own launcher, where the free trial is up to level 60 and includes heavensward. is there a way for me to use the product key from steam with my current account so i don't have to rebuy the game twice?

[warped nest]

No

If you have used the steam key

Then it is no good

But

[vague night]

Don't know if this is just me, but does anybody else have their ping spikes when in a trial or raid fight?
I was able to double weave out site of it (though barely), but it always clipped when I'm in raid/trial

[warped nest]

If you:

• played free trial on steam
• buy XIV on steam, but didn't use the code somehow
• and play free trial on Square launcher again, with a different account

Then yes, you can use the steam code to convert your square launcher free trial account into a steam full account

[leaden ginkgo]

ah yeah, i just tested the key from steam on mog station, said it's already registered

shame :[

[obsidian patio]

Houses can have 4 tenants

[gritty oracle]

ah ty!

[trail mulch]

whats the diff between forgotten fragment of skill and tortured memory of the dying

which gets a shiny weapon

[faint flare]

Memories are for weapons

Fragments are for lost actions

[trail mulch]

actions?

[faint flare]

Yes

Lost actions

That let you use unique skills inside bojza

Like cure on dps

[forest sage]

you should have a quest to turn in the fragment of skill that explains lost actions

[faint flare]

Or protect

Or broken shit like Lost slash

!action Lost Slash

[zinc orbit]

**Lost Slash** : lvl 0 PLD MNK WAR DRG BRD NIN MCH DRK SAM GNB DNC (90.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 800 to all enemies in a cone before you. When critical damage is dealt, potency is tripled.
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions. Furthermore, the recast timer cannot be affected by other actions.

Powered by XIVAPI

[leaden ginkgo]

Tysm 🙂

[trail mulch]

o

eh thats kinda boring

no wonder the guy who adopted me into his party said just sell them

[faint flare]

They let you kill duels in 2mins and mass pull literally every mob in visible range

[trail mulch]

o

[faint flare]

You can do REALLY dumb broken shit with smart action use

They're the Logos actions from Eureka

But better

[trail mulch]

o

[faint flare]

And its how you get Reraisers to let you res after death. Essenses to increase your stats etc

[trail mulch]

i never did eureka

is the drop rate for memories always this crappy

[faint flare]

Its low but efficient farm parties get them rapidly

When you have like 3-4 groups of people spread out and murdering 50+ mobs at a time

[forest sage]

memories in bozjan are pretty slow unless you farm specifically for them

but you can get them guaranteed from HW fates

[trail mulch]

what

what is specific

[faint flare]

He means memory/cluster farm parties

[forest sage]

if you're solo farming for the relic, fates are better

[faint flare]

Parties that specifically farm mobs for memories

[forest sage]

yeah parties that farm specifically for them

fates are meh drop rates, but give good xp too so eh

what I did was just level up in bozjan and once I was done I farmed the rest in HW fates

[faint flare]

Fates are pretty much only for xp

Nothing else

[forest sage]

well you get some memories sometimes, not many but still

[faint flare]

The rate from fates are barely worth talking about so

They're primarily for xp

[lament basalt]

if i created a marauder character, can i still become a black mage when i hit 30

[faint flare]

You'll need to go pick up thaumatugre

If you want black mage

Maradurer goes to warrior

[forest sage]

no, but you can change classes as soon as you do your lvl 10 class quest, you just can't jump from a lvl 30marauder to 30blackmage

the basic classes upgrade to a specific job, but you can play every class/job on the same char

[lament basalt]

my marauder just hit level 10 actually but im in character creation now

thought i had to make osmething else if i wanted to be a mage

[forest sage]

you can be everything on one char

[faint flare]

You can be everything on 1 character

[forest sage]

you just have to level each class separately

[faint flare]

And everything is character based and seperate from other characters

[lament basalt]

okay good to know 😄 was getting bored smacking stuff with my axer

axe*

[faint flare]

Thats low levels for basically every job

[forest sage]

well you won't be able to switch to thaum until you can get to Uldah, which takes a few levels, but you could switch to arcanist in limsa in the meantime

[lament basalt]

who does the most damage in 5 man dungeons?

[forest sage]

they're 4man, and SAM or BLM probably

[trail mulch]

wait but they said that you need 3 types of memories for the weapon

[forest sage]

(samurai/blackmage that is)

[trail mulch]

isnt this just one type

[forest sage]

you get each type of memories from each bozjan area

you unlock the next area as you level

[trail mulch]

o

im alr at 8-

80

[forest sage]

your bozjan rank thing

[faint flare]

Level in bojza

[forest sage]

not your actual lvl

[faint flare]

Your rank

[forest sage]

like at rank 5 and 8 or whatever you unlock more

[faint flare]

You need rank 8 and progress the quests in bojza to have access to all thr areas

[trail mulch]

how do i level

[faint flare]

Top area drop red memories, middle drops blue...bottom drops yellow

Do the fates

[forest sage]

you do fates

[faint flare]

And CEs

[forest sage]

and the critical engagement that pop up sometimes

[trail mulch]

o

[gritty oracle]

I'm trying to demolish my house and it says all furniture and furnishing must be removed.Does that mean fixtures too? The house is completely empty.

[lavish vortex]

can you trade savage gear with other players??

[faint flare]

No

[lavish vortex]

im curious then... how do you get the gear when people offer to sell that in PFs?

[faint flare]

They take control of your account

[oak ice]

They either carry you or play on your account

[faint flare]

And run it with your character and let them get drops

[lament basalt]

what is the little picture of a plant next to my name

[faint flare]

The sprout

[oak ice]

Means you're new

[lavish vortex]

really??? and people do that?? they would go that far?> lol

[faint flare]

It shows you're a new player

[oak ice]

A lot of people pay a lot of money and/or gil to get clears

[faint flare]

Yes because rich idiots will pay shit they cant get

[lavish vortex]

wow...i dont see the point haha but thanks for clarifying!!

[faint flare]

The point is that the person buying the run/stuff is a fucking terrible player and would never be able to get it themselves

[lavish vortex]

hahaha i see i see

[obsidian patio]

The storeroom must be emptied too if you didn’t do that.

[gritty oracle]

The problem was a mini aetheryte outside

also, how long does it take for character deletions to be processed? I had a random alt on the server I want to transfer to, which I deleted, but it still doesn't show the world on the selection list. I also made sure that the server allows new charaxters

[glacial isle]

Aside from getting lucky shooting a Diadem Spirit, is mining the fastest way to get Wind Shards?

[gritty oracle]

mining, botany, or siccing a retainer on either

[glacial isle]

Mining it is

[gritty oracle]

So Omega, my desired world, is not showing up in the home world transfer list. I had a character there, but I deleted it like half an hour ago. Is there any other reason why I can't select Omega?

character creation isn't restricted on Omega

[obsidian patio]

Mogstation/lodestone can sometimes take a few hours to register deleted characters. What homeworld is the character you’re trying to transfer with on and how new are they?

[gritty oracle]

I've had the character for over a year and I cleared every condition.

[obsidian patio]

Do you have any unopened moogle mail?

And Where did you log out at? From what I’m reading you can’t be logged out in instanced areas like housing districts

[gritty oracle]

I logged out in Limsa and don't have mail. I observed every condition. The problem is Omega.

[bronze narwhal]

How long does it usually take for event-exclusive attire make their way to mogstation? Like 2020's Valentione attire for example.

[whole wasp]

in general, one year but its not a hard rule

there are stuff that still hasn't appeared

[bronze narwhal]

Yeah, like ffxv collab yea

[whole wasp]

like regalia and cloud hair

yup

[bronze narwhal]

is there any chance that it will appear this valentine?
How does it work for other attire? Like seasonal summer thing for example. do they appear one year after that?

[whole wasp]

in general one year later in the mogstation

we dont know

[median tusk]

Hallo new person here. Where do I get Kingcraft Demimateria? I was looking at Mor Dhona Scrip exchange but I dont see it

[whole wasp]

it should be under yellow crafter's scrip (lvl 70 items)

[median tusk]

ohhh i assume i unlock those cause only see lvl 50 items

[whole wasp]

You gotta unlock the scrip exchange for lvl 50 60 70

Thets a quest per

60 should be in foundation. I think its "go west, craftsman"

[icy oar]

I'm having trouble with purchasing game time through steam my money went through from paypal to steam but every time i go on mogstation i get an error " An error has occurred, or the website is down for maintenance.
If this issue persists, please access the Square Enix Support Center for assistance." what can i do

[elfin edge]

is this i2501?

[neon pine]

hey so i'm really new to ff14 and mmos in general, and i just hit 50 and was wondering: are there player guilds i can join in this game, and would any of them take me if im not max level yet?

[silver ruin]

free companies is what they're called in this game, and yes

[marble drift]

Absolutely they will. They're known as Free Companies

[neon pine]

ok thats great, but where do i join one?

[marble drift]

Try here over in the data center channels

you could also try hanging around populated city areas at peak times. Maybe someone will invite you or shout out that they're looking for members

some data centers also have individual discords.

[silver ruin]

otherwise you can try shouting yourself in the starter cities

[neon pine]

ok great, i played from 1-50 solo and was hoping to make some friends in this game sooner or later

[vestal horizon]

switching over from another mmo. anyone wanna be my sensei?

[marble drift]

Game is mostly solo

[frozen girder]

Is this Zhloe?

[marble drift]

No.

[frozen girder]

Aw

Wait

Not Zhloe

The girl in Idylshire

[marble drift]

Khloe? also no

[frozen girder]

Who you turn in stuff to?

[silver ruin]

can just ask questions here, msq is solo, dungeons etc are with people

[frozen girder]

Oh I see

The hair is whiter

[marble drift]

That character is F'lhaminn Qesh. Songstress of Ul'dah

[frozen girder]

OH

WHAT

I suppose these will be worth watching then

[marble drift]

Pause.

[vestal horizon]

ok what would you tell someone on their first day to get started

[marble drift]

spoiler territory

[frozen girder]

Hm?

I was just sayin that they are worth watching

XD

[silver ruin]

dont be afraid to ask questions, dont try and rush through the msq, its an FF game (read story based) first and an mmo second

[marble drift]

Right I wasn't sure what you were typing. Try to be as careful as possible

[silver ruin]

also dont try killing mobs for exp, msq is the main way for exp, dungeons after

[frozen girder]

I don't spoil

[marble drift]

[silver ruin]

msq=main story quest

[vestal horizon]

word

[silver ruin]

literally everything is locked behind msq, so its mandatory

[frozen girder]

Ya know

Nvm

[marble drift]

You should also pick a data center role in this discord @vestal horizon

[vestal horizon]

ye ive done some research

found out some small things to get started

i chose undecided cause idk what that means

game is still downloading havent done anything yet

[marble drift]

Your Data Center is a cluster of servers which determine who you can chat and find parties with

Generally you pick one based on where you are in the world

There are many but split into 3 regions. NA, JP and EU and other regions

[buoyant lintel]

hi new player here, after I purchased the digital game, how long could I get the key?

[full latch]

How do I join the novice network? do I need to pay the sub fee to get into it?

[marble drift]

that is of course your local game language (determines your payment options and stuff) you can pick a data center around that

if you're in America then of course you probably want an NA data center. and so on and so forth

[vestal horizon]

ok so are both primal and crystal NA

based on the flag i assume

[marble drift]

get invited. I believe you do not have to. you can join the NN on a free trial account

[marble drift]

and aether.

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/

That lists all servers grouped by data center

[marble drift]

Did you purchase from SquareEnix or a 3rd party?

[full latch]

is shadow bringers the only expansion?

[buoyant lintel]

https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/ ?

[marble drift]

No. Its the only expansion you purchase though as the rest are bundled @full latch

[marble drift]

should be instant?

[frozen girder]

When the next expansion comes out mid summer you'll have to buy that too

[buoyant lintel]

it shows "Your key is being processed and it will be available here soon or when the product is released."

[full latch]

there are more expansions?

[frozen girder]

There will be

The game is living

[slate arrow]

@buoyant lintel yeah that's normal

[frozen girder]

Meaning it's constantly getting new expansions

[full latch]

That wasn't the question buit okay

[cedar compass]

Which mmo?

[slate arrow]

The SE store takes at least a day or two to fulfill orders

[vestal horizon]

osrs

[cedar compass]

And what aspect of the game are you interested in

[slate arrow]

Because scalefast is scaleslow

[marble drift]

There are 3 expansions total. but only 1 you have to purchase right now

[frozen girder]

Every 2 years they release a new expansion @full latch

[marble drift]

the rest are bundled

[frozen girder]

The next one will probably be sometime this summer

[full latch]

what about the other 2?

[vestal horizon]

endgame raids 100%

[marble drift]

Bundled.

[frozen girder]

If you buy Shadowbringers you get the other 2

[marble drift]

Heavensward in starter edition (base game)

[full latch]

for me it's destiny 2 and I think it's gonna be the endgame and the rp

[cedar compass]

You interested in raiding or what specifically?

Ahh

[slate arrow]

To set your expectations, this is a final fantasy game first and MMO second

[cedar compass]

Ok I can sort of help with that, but it's gonna take you forever to get there

[vestal horizon]

not a problem

i love the grind

[full latch]

I'm on the website I also see stormblood

[cedar compass]

First step is going through the MSQ

[slate arrow]

you can't officially buy stormblood

[vestal horizon]

also played destiny 1 and 2

[modest igloo]

so wait, with no raiding teir, whats 5.5 gonna add other than msq and weapons sidequest?

[cedar compass]

Are you interested in the story?

[buoyant lintel]

yeah, how long does it usually take to process?

[frozen girder]

This is what I play for

[slate arrow]

@buoyant lintel a day or two

[buoyant lintel]

a day or two, damn..

[vestal horizon]

sure i loved ff up to 10

[buoyant lintel]

though this is 2021, LOL

[marble drift]

Probably another dungeon. Maybe a trial. Thats for the devs to decide

[cedar compass]

DM me if you want since this chat is kinda cluttered

[obsidian patio]

Last part of the nier 24-man, a dungeon, more to bozja

[frozen girder]

The nice thing about FFXIV is that you know that the setting will stay

[modest igloo]

ah ok forgot about that

[frozen girder]

You don't need to worry about if there will be a sequel or not

:p

[lone zephyr]

do i need all atmas to upgrade the arr relic?

[marble drift]

Yes

[lone zephyr]

I have 10 so far, been missing 2 for 4 hours.

[frozen girder]

All of this is stuff that needs to be crafted right?

[marble drift]

Welcome to Relic grinds

if you're doing this at not max level. stop. go hit max level

[lone zephyr]

im max level

[marble drift]

its only a glam weapon now

good work

[lone zephyr]

i know that

[obsidian patio]

Yeah that’s all things that need to be crafted

[slate arrow]

Make sure you're in the right zones to grind

[frozen girder]

I only need to gather the top 3?

[lone zephyr]

this feels stupid

[marble drift]

Sorry but lots of people don't. Better safe than sorry

[frozen girder]

Crystals scrip stuff and gathering stuff

[marble drift]

again. it was designed as a multi-month grind for endgame players

[slate arrow]

It's just a bragging rights weapon. Don't feel like you have to do it, because you don't

[obsidian patio]

Double check the tome/token/scrip section, I don’t use teamcraft for my recipe lists so I can’t tell you for certain what’s in it

[slate arrow]

Back in ARR they were highly experiemental with almost everything they were doing

[frozen girder]

The tome section is tomestones

That's all the stuff I need tobuy

I need 940 Allegory, and a ton of scrips

[slate arrow]

So a lot of things scale weird or just weren't designed with today's time respecting values

[glacial isle]

trust me, Relic grind takes a long time

[frozen girder]

What do you use @obsidian patio ?

[glacial isle]

esp. the older ones

[obsidian patio]

I like Garland Tools more because I’m used to it.

[frozen girder]

I see

[sullen phoenix]

Question for all of you fine people. I was using a WHM and using Cure 1 to heal, the tank recommended I use cure 2 instead. My reasoning for cure 1 vs 2 is cast time and mana efficiency which I understand isn't a problem with WHM, however what are your thoughts on using cure 1 vs 2. Is there a blanket heal that's better or more situational? I was just running a daily duty finder mission btw.

[marble drift]

actually the heavensward anima is one of the shorter ones with todays levels. Assuming you're starting Eureka and Bozja from scratch

[frozen girder]

I like Garland tools for finding stuff, but Teamcraft consolidates lists into 1 sorted list where everything is

[obsidian patio]

WHM’s Mana Efficiency is so powerful that cure 1 is essentially worthless compared to Cure 2

[glacial isle]

Assuming you're starting Eureka and Bozja

[obsidian patio]

you also have to think in terms of GCDs needed to heal damage

[slate arrow]

Cure 2 will generally be better in 90% of most endgame situations

[marble drift]

right yes I forgot its you. Moving on.

[slate arrow]

Compared to cure1

[obsidian patio]

Cure 1 might need 2 casts when Cure 2 just needs a single cast

And the freecure proc from cure 1 can actually lose you mana if you try to go for it too hard

[sullen phoenix]

Interesting. I was reading the wiki's WHM guide and it recommended using cure 1 for 90% of health.

Must have been outdated.

[obsidian patio]

Which wiki?

[slate arrow]

Consolegamerswiki is 99% outdated most of the time

[marble drift]

yes inform us of this website mistake

[forest sage]

you shouldn't be casting a heal on anyone at 90% health pretty much

[marble drift]

so we can steer others away

[sullen phoenix]

Ok one sec I'll grab the link after this trial

ty for the help

[obsidian patio]

Another important tip for healing is to make mental notes of how much your spells heal for, so you can avoid healing too early and wasting part of the heal

[frank frigate]

any tip on 2maning HoH ?

[silver ruin]

once you hit 60(?), lilies should be your first prioirty for healing (afflatus skills)

[obsidian patio]

So if a tank has 2000 hp and your Cure 2 heals for 1000 HP, you can safely wait until the tank is around half health before healing them

[frank frigate]

like good job combinations ?

[forest sage]

I'd assume any HoH duo would benefit from checking out the HoH solo guide stuff

[obsidian patio]

Tank+Healer is probably the safest option

[forest sage]

like this guide https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YVBSTOgJO-xOAB6YyKZEZRikjXFPle6Ihf_E7VdmQnI and maybe some runs on youtube or whatever

[obsidian patio]

Can also go Healer+DPS for going a bit faster

[frank frigate]

the guide i saw discouraged healers for solong

[forest sage]

and yeah probably tank+healer would be the safest to clear

yeah for soloing

[frank frigate]

but i think a healer would be a good option

for 2

right

[forest sage]

because healer DPS solo is really rough

but if you have someone else, that's like more than double the dmg

so it becomes whatever, and the healer will make it much easier to survive

could do tank+rdm too

since rdm can spot heal when needed

but if you don't have potions, a healer would definitely be recommended imo

[sullen phoenix]

ok im back i

I'll grab tat link

[forest sage]

the HoH sustaining potions I mean

[frank frigate]

thank you

[little swift]

@sullen phoenix also consider that despite teh cast time being shorter on cure i, the recast timer is exactly the same and that doesn't mean you get mroe cure i's out faster

[sullen phoenix]

Ok here is the guide:
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/White_Mage_Guide/Stormblood

[little swift]

outdated

[forest sage]

it was outdated back then too though

[little swift]

^

[forest sage]

like literally has been outdated since 2.0 probably

[sullen phoenix]

Yeah. Couldn't find anything else lol

[obsidian patio]

Medica 2 for only the tank is a waste of MP, cure 2 heals the same amount for one person

[silver ruin]

^

[little swift]

freecure is not even worth considering

15% is practically 0

its so unreliable

https://saltedxiv.com/guides/whm

this is more updated

[sullen phoenix]

An issue I'm having is understanding potency. Like actually how much they heal for.

[obsidian patio]

Potency is basically a way to compare your toolkit to itself

!action cure

[zinc orbit]

**Cure** : lvl 2 CNJ WHM (400 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(1.5 second base cast time)

Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 450
Additional Effect: 15% chance next Cure II will cost no MP
Duration: 15s

Powered by XIVAPI

[obsidian patio]

!action cure ii

[zinc orbit]

**Cure II** : lvl 30 CNJ WHM (1000 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 700

Powered by XIVAPI

[obsidian patio]

So in terms of pure potency, two cures is stronger than a single cure ii. But two cure ii’s is stronger than 2 cures

[little swift]

mana efficiency is not really a problem in most cases as you'll have enough tools to deal with it as well

[sullen phoenix]

So GDC is the deciding factor for going with Cure 2 vs 1?

My apologies if I'm missing something simple.

[obsidian patio]

Generally, yeah

The less time you spend healing, the more you can spend helping with damage

[forest sage]

it's a bit counterintuitive, but the goal for healers in XIV is to spend the least amount possible healing

[sullen phoenix]

so for example cure 1 has a 1.44 cast time vs cure two's 1.92 but the difference between 1.44 vs 1.92 is negligable?

[forest sage]

healing requirements tend to be low, and damage is predictible

[obsidian patio]

For the most part, yeah, since they share the same GCD

[forest sage]

you can weave an oGCD after cure 1, but you'll have to wait your GCD regardless

[silver ruin]

still nto worth it

not*

[sullen phoenix]

So in that case I'd rather just weave an oGCD after cure 2

[silver ruin]

no

you'll clip with cure 2

[sullen phoenix]

Ahh, ok @_@

[forest sage]

well no cause it'll clip, if you need to weave you'd use something like Regen, or Afflatus

[silver ruin]

weave with lilies

or the dot

[forest sage]

or when you refresh Dia/Aero

[silver ruin]

but dont refresh the dot too early

[obsidian patio]

!action afflatus solace

[zinc orbit]

**Afflatus Solace** : lvl 52 WHM (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 700
Additional Effect: Nourishes the Blood Lily Healing Gauge Cost: 1 Lily

[past sinew]

What's a good strat to Tanking E9S?

[potent lava]

just for clarification, the moment my sub says 1 day left that literally means 24 hours left right

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[sullen phoenix]

This is in the context of endgame content right. What would you choose if you didn't have access to lillies skills. Still would be using cure two?

Just want to make sure I understand the why.

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[forest sage]

if you need to weave, Regen early(well 30+)

but you won't need to weave most likely at low lvl

[marble drift]

Best to go to youtube for guides

[forest sage]

cause you don't have any oGCD anyway lol

[obsidian patio]

Can also use aero/dia for weaving

[marble drift]

Mizzteq makes nice easy to understand ones

[past sinew]

Johnny Silverhand-

[sullen phoenix]

Yeah that's usually what I weave is Aero.

[forest sage]

but for "low" lvl healing, you'd want to use Cure II, so you don't waste 2GCDs using Cure I

[sullen phoenix]

Ok thanks. I'm getting it now.

[forest sage]

you get a feel for how much Cure II heals(like say 50% of a tank health), and then use it when the tank drops to that amount

[marble drift]

Had the name before Cyberpunk2077 but sure

[neon pine]

do i have to have started playing shadowbringers in order to unlock gunbreaker? i see it unlocks at 60 and my highest lvl job rn is 52

[past sinew]

It was opportune

I'm sorry

[forest sage]

you have to own shadowbringers, but not be on it

[past sinew]

No, just the Lv has to be 60

[forest sage]

any 60char and you can unlock GNB

[neon pine]

ah ok, thanks

[forest sage]

err

yeah nvm it is 60, was thinking it was 70 for a sec

[wheat plume]

is it ok that a fc asks the members to give gil and shards to get better rank, then offer a fraction of total profit (gil) of shard selling to the higher ranks?

[past sinew]

Of course not

That's a gil drainage scam

Probably gonna farm gil off members and then disband the company

[full latch]

How do I join the novice network?

[whole wasp]

Ask anybody with a burger king crown to invite you in

try just /shouting in the 3 starting cities

[full latch]

I haven't even left the first one lol

[whole wasp]

you also need to have be a or returner to qualify

the crown with the hammer also works

[cedar compass]

What time does prime time starts to end?

Wanna make a character in a congested world

[wheat plume]

If I pay for lvl up character, for paladin, the gear I get is Augmented Scaevan?

[cerulean sky]

is there anyone on Chaos/EU that would be willing to run 'The Eyes of the Creator', possibly unsynced with my tank friend and I

[cedar compass]

I can help

Normal or savage tho

[whole wasp]

which world?

[cerulean sky]

just normal

[cedar compass]

Midgardsorm

[willow dune]

On Free Trial, just entered Heavensward, doing the Botanist's L60 Quests, should I get Materia Rewards for Gathering, Perception or GP?

[cedar compass]

Make party finder I'll join in like 5 mins gonna go for a smoke first

[whole wasp]

oof. NA is constantly busy. just gotta keep checking

[cerulean sky]

@cedar compass will do. thank you

[whole wasp]

usually Gatherer wants GP but its low-grade materia so pick whatever.

[willow dune]

Oh okay thanks

[cerulean sky]

I forgot and probably should have mentioned - due to the mechanics my understanding is we need a 2nd tank, unless it ends up not being an issue

so ive been told anyways

[tropic frigate]

Do you pay more for the sub if you make an alt?

[silver ruin]

depends, theres entry and standard sub, entry is 8 characters total, 1per world, $13, standard is 40 characters 8 per wold $15

world*

really depends if you want it in the same server or not

[tropic frigate]

Same server, wanted to try for the fun a different race

I have a standard sub

[silver ruin]

then no

it wont go up

with standard you can have 8 in the same server up to 40 characters, entry is 8 total, 1 per server

[tropic frigate]

Ah alright, gotcha

Thanks for the answer

[silver ruin]

np

[wary eagle]

has the automatic housing demo freeze been lifted? i just got an email that feels sus in junk mail but at the same time written properly and has no phishing links, just a direct contact with SE support (real site not fake), nothing about trying to have me login. It's warning me about demo in a few days. I can't find any lodestone or reddit posts about this tho so yeah
