twilit arch
#

the blackest night is 3k mp

#

so you generally want to make sure you have enough to use it

opaque pewter
#

Probably too niche of a question, but are there any useful fish when attempting this achievement?

plain python

TBN = ?

#

the blackest night

gloomy ice
#

The Blackest Night. A pretty good mitigation tool.

!ac The Blackest Night

#

nvm, It is a lv70 skill. So pre-70, is there any point saving MP?

little swift
#

Bank it for burst/raidbuffs

twilit arch
#

before 70, not really

#

but its good to sort of build the habit of saving 3k so you can use tbn when you need it

little swift
#

Doesn't hurt to also not toss things out whenever

#

At least if you want to learn how to do raiding and stuff

#

Concepts like abc are still important. But learning about burst windows is a slightly new thing I suppose

obsidian patio
karmic niche
dense marsh
#

so how do i unlock the higher rank stuff in the duty finder if the duty finder cant find anyone to do the duty at it's current rank? ive been trying to do stuff to get myself better gear so i have access to eden's verse and stuff, but ive been waiting about 120 minutes for any of these duties that drop the gear i need to pop

little swift
#

Are you queuing for old savages?

#

If not all of the normal mode stuff is in normal raid roulette

#

Should pop during prime time

dense marsh
#

descent S, inundation S, dancing plague E, sepulture S, hades (so i can unlock the harder hades)

twilit arch
#

don't do those in duty finder

#

savage and extremes are not done thru duty finder on NA/EU

little swift
#

Duty finder isn't typically for extremes and savages in na/eu

#

You also don't need to complete those to unlock the next tier

#

Only completion of the normal mode floors are needed to unlock the savage tier related to it

dire prawn
#

I has question

terse heath
#

i'm spamming a few POTD 51-60. how are people leaving at the end without going to the exit?

dense marsh
#

so im ilvl 452 and not sure what to do to get to 455 to continue the eden raid

dire prawn
#

In the bottom right of my screen above my gil there's a bunch of like black square/circles and a few are lit up green and then a few more blue and the rest are all black

little swift
#

They open the duty menu and hit leave @terse heath

#

Use your tomestones of allegory @dense marsh

terse heath
#

thanks

little swift
#

@dire prawn thats a representation of your inventory

dense marsh
#

just basically grind for tomestones and use that to buy better stuff?

dire prawn
#

That's my inventory?

little swift
#

Tomestone stuff is i490 upgradeable to i500

whole wasp
#

yup

dense marsh
#

sorry, i havent been at the endgame before. ive been playing since last january trying to catchup

little swift
#

You can also buy i510 off the marketboard

dire prawn
#

That is one weird way of showing an inventory

little swift
#

Yah it shows the status of your equips too

dense marsh
#

i wasted all my gil getting myself to 450 to do the earlier raids lol

little swift
#

Why 450 when 480 and 510 are accessible

#

Well you can do the normal mode of edens verse to get 480 pieces as well

dense marsh
#

is all the tomestone gear at i490 in eulmore or any city that has a vendor for tomestones?

little swift
#

Eulmore

slate arrow
#

Only eulmore currently

dense marsh
#

ok ty

sullen lark
#

Does anyone have any clue how often you'll fail a Quick Synthesis on the lvl 80 4* recipes?

hot eagle
#

cant quick synth these yet iirc

sullen lark
#

Oh yeah..

little swift
#

Pretty sure it doesn't allow you to quick synthc them

sullen lark
#

Must've been something else then, my bad

leaden ginkgo
little swift
#

No abc as in keeping your gcd rolling

#

Not clipping/delaying it with bad weaving

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh, I meant the latter part (burst windows)

little swift
#

Burst windows are basically about knowing when raidbuffs come up

#

And when your personal windows of high damage are

#

And how those interact/align

leaden ginkgo
#

I see. Should be interesting to play the job, then

little swift
#

Healers typically only have a raidbuff to align with other buffs

#

But don't really have any "burst" of their own that isn't consistently part of the rotation

#

Like sch and ast have chain strat and divination that aligns with every other trick attack

#

And every technical step

#

For example

marble drift
#

Presence of Mind?

little swift
#

But they don't really have much else to contribute to it

marble drift
#

oh. raid buff

little swift
#

Pom doesn't align with much either haha

small marsh
#

do gatherer retainers benefit from accessories at all

#

like does the GP/item level have any effect

little swift
#

But yah pom gives whm its own burst window j suppose

#

No its just gathering

#

But you can meld gathering to the accessories if you're not hitting the breakpoints

robust crow
#

do fishing retainers bring anything unique back

#

at all

#

ever

#

i've had a fishing retainer for like a year

little swift
#

Fat cat minion?

robust crow
#

and every other day I think about making her a botanist

little swift
#

Water bucket minion?

robust crow
#

what's the name of the water bucket

little swift
#

I think its magic bucket

robust crow
#

oh

#

not tradeable on marketboard i see

#

but it seems like I can just fish it

#

can anyone think of anything useful that the fishing retainer can retrieve

#

she can't even get blue crab for chili crab

twilit arch
#

rose shrimp/sweet oysters are probably the most useful in regards to shb stuff

robust crow
#

hmm

#

let me see what those make

twilit arch
#

its for Blood Bouillabaisse

robust crow
#

oh

#

isn't chili crab directly better

twilit arch
#

probably but some people still will use the lower stuff since its often cheaper

robust crow
#

sounds a lot like i should just reclass my fisher retainer into a botanist

twilit arch
#

the rose shrimp also is for paellia which is leve turn in so people might be willing to buy it

robust crow
#

lol

twilit arch
#

but tbh yeah

robust crow
#

i craft raid food for my static a lot

twilit arch
#

fish retainer is...honestly not recommended

#

its possible we might get another shb

#

where oyster/shrimp is useful at start of expac

#

so having a fish retainer to get those more easily will be a good boost of gil at start

#

but then it'll probably wane as expac goes on

#

bot/min are just generally more consistent

robust crow
#

yeah but even then there's probably better ways to make money at the beginning of an expansion besides fishing retainer

leaden ginkgo
#

they won't rerun events, right? just sell the mounts in em in the mog station?

twilit arch
#

rerun events like the cross over events?

forest sage
#

events sometimes return

twilit arch
#

most of the cross over events have re-run

forest sage
#

the cross over ones yeah

#

the seasonal don't rerun

proud willow
#

If something is on mogstation, that guarantees it won't return for a future event

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a chance for ffxv to rerun then

twilit arch
#

yes

proud willow
#

Yes

twilit arch
#

we know its going to be rerun

#

they have stated as such

hot eagle
#

they allrdy said they want to rerun but cant say when

leaden ginkgo
#

oh nice

twilit arch
#

just a matter of when

leaden ginkgo
#

my friend really wants the regalia lol

forest sage
#

I'd bet on 5.55+ lull when they're out of stuff to patch in

potent shale
#

How does one look at how much Collectables that they've hand in?

whole wasp
#

check your achievement log

#

wait, achievement log is for crafted/gathered

open rivet
#

also turned in for rowena

#

(at least until 3k)

potent shale
#

I want to keep track of them especially for DoL

lone spruce
#

ALC 70 quest spoilers: ||Is this dude gonna be explained later or is this just some reference to 1.0 I don’t understand?||

marble drift
#

there should be a few for collectables

open rivet
#

@potent shale for trade mentor you can just check your achievement log
Items -> Collectables -> "I collected That" I - V

(imo combine it w/ rowena turn ins, easiest imo is in coerthas western highlands northern area)

lone spruce
whole wasp
potent shale
#

ohhhh

obsidian patio
# lone spruce

It’ll be explained. Though I can’t remember the exact details a lot of the SB has 1.0 stuff about it

potent shale
#

Rowena turn ins????

#

what is that????

obsidian patio
#

The house of splendors, where you turn in the Rarefied stuff

potent shale
#

o h

open rivet
#

if you're gonna go on a collection spree anyway, might as well use the items for another achievement as well

lone spruce
proud willow
#

the 60-70 ALC quests are tied to 1.0. They explain a little bit, but you'd have to go youtube the old cutscenes to get the full context

#

or watch Ethys Asher's summary

tulip goblet
#

Hey everyone I’m a bit stuck

#

I’ve done all of the Pomguard quest chain, completed Into the Mists quest but can’t find the Bitter is the Night quest to start the next chain of quests. I’ve looked up forums and followed the map but the npc isn’t showing or I can’t find her. Any ideas? (I have completed all the msqs for all the expansions)

proud willow
#

first I'd say check your quest log and see if it isn't already completed

jade quartz
#

Try above or below you.

#

The Churning Mists has several areas with multiple levels.

#

The quest icon on the minimap should have a tiny little arrow on it indicating if it's above or below you in elevation.

obsidian patio
#

Did you grab and complete the quest “Into the Mists” found in Ishgard at the Pillars?

rugged flicker
jade quartz
#

Yes, Open Tournaments

rugged flicker
#

What are those exactly?

obsidian patio
#

For the specific area in the patch notes

#

But they’re basically mini tournaments?

jade quartz
#

They're available every two hours like ocean fishing

#

you queue up and get into a tournament instance with players and NPCs to fill the gaps

#

you select your deck from house cards; every player gets the same choices for deck building.

#

you play like four or five matches?

#

and get ranked at the end

swift pasture
#

is putting text macro in limitbreak button not a good idea/frowned upon?

whole wasp
#

ehhh. i think its okay since you rarely use it but if you can stand the cringe, it should be ok once in awhile

#

you also get gems like this

slate arrow
#

Yes.

whole wasp
#

depends on what you are looking for

slate arrow
#

Except the ARR ones

#

But the ones in your level bracket give about the same as ~1/2 of a dungeon run or more

#

And crafters and gathering beast tribes give oodles of EXP (including ARR ones)

whole wasp
#

you do get a sick mask for doing all the ARR tribes

#

and all the tribes have exclusive mounts

jade quartz
#

and mounts

whole wasp
#

snek ladies have 2 mounts

#

bloodsworn for all ARR tribes then do the allied quest

#

to level all of them to Allied simultaneously

jade quartz
tulip goblet
#

Unlocked the mist

viral kernel
#

Anyone else having server issues?

tulip goblet
#

All completed

jade quartz
#

Then why are you looking for an MSQ quest from two expansions ago

#

You've long since completed it

#

oh Bitter is the Night

#

nvm

#

Is...that not it on your minimap?

tulip goblet
#

Nope

#

The area I’m floating is high above where the icon should be

jade quartz
#

What quest is that on your minimap then

#

because that's where it should be

tulip goblet
#

Lvl 55 The Sin of Our Landlords

#

My character is at the coordinates above where it should be. I checked all the platforms just in case it may be hidden but still nothing

jade quartz
#

And have you checked your journal?

#

Complete > Sidequests > Dravanian Sidequests > Churning Mists

warm granite
#

Hello, idk if this is a right space to ask questions about coming back, is it?

jade quartz
#

You're in the right place

left lantern
#

was it 30 most classes get their counter parts as in

gladiator gets palliden
Archer gets Bard

warm granite
#

So I came back after... 2 years or so? 😶 I have no idea what to do. Firstly I'd like to find a free company (if that's what it was called) but I have no idea if my region is light or chaos and how do I find one umaru

jade quartz
jade quartz

#

Zodiark

obsidian patio
# tulip goblet

Did you grab and complete the quest “Into the Mists” found in Ishgard at the Pillars?

jade quartz
#

Free Companies are limited solely to your world, however, i.e. Zodiark.

#

You can try the community finder to find FCs

#

!faq communityfinder

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

No tag named communityfinder exists, Kupo!

tulip goblet
#

@obsidian patio Yeah checked for the Mist quest and it’s completed, went to the coordinates for Bitter is the Night but it’s a no show. Tried logging out and back in just in case

jade quartz
obsidian patio
#

I’d submit a bug report then and see if SE has anything to say about it

warm granite
#

It's under maintenance for now I think

jade quartz
#

It's not

warm granite
#

Okay now it works thank you @jade quartz

jade quartz
#

It was a little while ago

#

Have you checked you haven't already completed Bitter is the Night, though?

steep vine
#

Hello all, so I was thinking of attempting a tank soon. Dark knight to be exact. What moves are aggro, and how long does the aggro take? Want to make sure I’m on top of aggro when I do it all

jade quartz
#

Uh.

#

You just turn on your aggro stance

#

!action grit!

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Grit** : lvl 10 DRK (10.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Significantly increases enmity generation.
Effect ends upon reuse.

obsidian patio
#

All moves generate aggro

jade quartz
#

This is a 10x aggro multiplier on all damage you do.

#

Then you just

#

dps the enemies

obsidian patio
#

As long as you have the stance on you basically can’t lose aggro except to another tank

jade quartz
#

and face them away from the party

#

You don't need to do a specific aggro rotation or anything.

pure bough
#

Are there any way to enable auto-accept of raise dead?

obsidian patio
#

Nope

pure bough
#

shite

#

ty for the answer

frank wigeon
#

cant buy plot, says i need more deeds what does that mean?

#

nvm

trail mulch
#

if im alr using the item

#

can i get someone else to pentameld for me

oak ice
#

Yes

#

You need the materia in your inventory, right click on the person you want to meld your gear and select "Request Meld"

worthy basin
#

the house timer would go off randomly when purchasing a house, right?

obsidian patio
#

The one that allows a house to be bought? Yes

sullen phoenix
#

Should i save lower level blue quests for alt characters?

green grail
#

no, blue quests unlock additional content/features/items and don't really give noticeable exp, so do them asap

paper torrent
#

this has been bothering me for forever but does anyone know how to relocate the additional skill bar that you get during certain duties? [eg where instance specific actions are displayed like bozjan abilities]

jade quartz
#

HUD layout > tick the box for "duty" > you can now move the duty action HUD element

#

The "all" category doesn't include "duty" HUD elements for some reason.

paper torrent
#

ahhh

#

v stupid of me tyvm

jade quartz
#

Eh it's not obvious

#

understandable not to realise it

fervent silo
#

how do i get empyrean potsherds from hoh?

jade quartz
#

You get one every time you clear floor 30

#

so repeatedly running 21-30 will get you plenty

fervent silo
#

ty

jade quartz
#

You can also find them in bronze treasure chests but they're very rare

fervent silo
#

how do i repeat floors 21-30?

jade quartz
#

You can choose to start from floor 21 on a fresh save slot.

fervent silo
#

ah ok cool

jade quartz
#

Run 21-30, clear save slot, go again

fervent silo
#

awesome

#

thanks again

jade quartz
#

o7

tired trellis
#

Possibly stupid Diadem gatherer question. I'm like, lvl 45 on my botanist. Lvl 60 on my weaver. Do I have to be 60 on my botanist too in order to harvest the materials I need for my lvl 60 skybuilders turn in?

manic rune
toxic ridge
#

So I left ahm Areng without attuning to anything during the MSQ, how do I get back there?

jade quartz
#

@granite hound that gate is only useable much later in the MSQ and leads to a different part of Amh Araeng.

#

Alune presumably is not at that point.

toxic ridge
#

I am not - new character.

#

Thank you, though!

faint flare
#

Save outfit button

proud willow
#

yes, there is a button at the bottom that says "Save/Delete Outfit"

#

when toggled on, you will not remove any pieces when you try on something else

faint flare
#

Page up/down resizes the selected window iirc

proud willow
#

I think it's Ctrl+Home

simple shore
#

You can also just right click the top of the window (this works on almost all windows) and select from the Scale Window menu

robust sail
#

Squadron missions make no sence

#

My squad is level 45, and can't beat a level 40 mission

hot eagle
#

priority mission like these to rank up for these you need to reach all 3 stats requirements

open coral
#

The "flagged" missions require all three stats matched.

robust sail
#

I see

#

But I don't know how to get all three, tech is the issue

#

And I just bearly scrape by for Mental

hot eagle
#

level them more or dismiss some and get other members and hope you get some with needed stats

open coral
#

Also remember that your squadron composition is not restricted to tank/healer/dps/dps

faint flare
#

Also chemistries

south roost
#

What does a (L) mean next to a crafting leve?

#

The wiki has a quest marked as " Pom Hemlock (L) " for weavers that gives a vastly larger sum of exp then normal and isn't showing up for me

plush hound
#

It means a Large leve. Higher cost, more difficult and supposed to give better rewards but the balance is poorly done. They're not woth it.

hot eagle
#

it's a waste of allowances they eat 10 per leave instead of 1

south roost
#

Oh ooof

#

Thanks

tropic hare
#

hey! I really am not sure if it's the right place to ask that so feel free to redirect me if needed D: Currently I'm trying to get a plot and, is there any way on how to "optimize" the mouse/clicking pattern? I'm currently alone on the plot but, who knows (yeah I already know I'll have to do that for hours..)

gritty oracle
#

also listen to an audiobook or podcast.

tropic hare
#

Yup, tried that but, not sure if its because of my internet, theres a slightly delay when I'm confirming at some time and its kinda frustrating ngl lmao

#

Yeah I already have shows on the side! :D

gritty oracle
#

Hmm, maybe a sliiiiightly larger gap between keypresses?

manic flare
#

what is the max length on the timer?

hot eagle
#

and pray to whatever you get the plot + hope nobody relocates

tropic hare
#

Currently there's 2:18:15

gritty oracle
#

from plot vacation, popping/buying times
<7: nope
7 to 8: v. rare
8 to 9: possible
9 to 10: more possible
10 to 14: the most likely window
14 to 16: definitely possible
16 to 18: sometimes yes
18 to 20: occasionally
20-24: quite rare

24: no

tropic hare
#

But I believe that its for the price getting lower? idk

little swift
#

Thats the devaluation timer dragahn you can't see the other timer

gritty oracle
#

devaluation has nothing to do with the hidden timer

tropic hare
#

Oh thanks! ST?

#

ah yeah okay

tardy patio
#

How did amdapor city become lost ,its pretty massive barely a couple malms from Gridania and a few settlements are near it

warped nest
#

But story wise it is a continuous stream

crude pulsar
#

what exactly would that do?

warped nest
#

They are the epilogue of ARR, and prologue for Heavensward

crude pulsar
#

yea I heard story is important but I dont really play games for story

#

I like the gameplay and wanna get to max lvl asap

warped nest
#

One of the skip will put you right at the start of Heavensward

slate arrow
#

because the world doesn't stop when you beat the boss

twilit arch
#

amdapor was 5th astral era, which was like over 1k years ago @tardy patio also keep in mind that in-game zones are not 1:1 in what they would be realistically. zones are generally smaller in-game since its easier to make them that way

warped nest
#

Plus, Lost could just mean Lost in Time

#

Not "crap, we forgot where this is located"

warped nest
#

Oh, nvm, Kael said 1000 years ago

strange coral
#

Or lost to monsters, darkness, the enemy, etc.

slate arrow
#

It's a common design trope in final fantasy where you only see a respresenstion of the zones

tardy patio
dreamy warren
#

If you want to change how a retainer looks, you have to dismiss and get a new one, right?

twilit arch
#

no

slate arrow
#

no, you can get a retainer fantasia off the marketboard

twilit arch
#

just buy a retainer fantasias from mb

dreamy warren
#

Oh wow

twilit arch
#

or get lucky with quick ventures\

slate arrow
#

(they're quick venture loot, but)

#

(yeah)

twilit arch
#

the scale is pretty decent, yes but its definitely obvious with like expansion zones they're not close to 1:1

#

like the azim steppes are huge but we only go to a very, very small portion of it

tardy patio
#

yea for sure outside of eorzea the scale is way way way off

slate arrow
#

The ruby sea is also a good example

crude pulsar
#

what exactly do you do once u hit max lvl?

tardy patio
#

eorzea looks just so good like looking at the la noscean map everything looks really to-scale, its nice. Then you hit Norvrandt and oh dear its awful

slate arrow
#

But if it were any bigger it would just be a hassle

slate arrow
#

Bozja

#

Relic weapon grinds

#

Unlock previous expansion bonus dungeons

#

Sidequests

crude pulsar
#

ok thank you

warped nest
#

Unless you have never ever pay attention to any video game story

whole wasp
#

craft, gather, fish, get an apartment, play the marketboard, play cards, race chocobos

slate arrow
#

Gamble MGP at the gold saucer

warped nest
#

I would recommend paying attention to at least Heavensward, and Shadowbringers

#

And the Crystal Tower quest in in lvl 50 ARR

whole wasp
#

get invited to an FC, get kicked out of an FC, buy pretty clothes, lose all your gil buying pretty clothes

warped nest
#

I feel that most of these aren't endgame activities

slate arrow
#

Take a break for a good month or two after near exclusively playing the game for a good year and a half

#

"endgame" is a vague term

crude pulsar
#

well I usually play to get the best gear possible for 1 or 2 classes I like

#

in my case right now its BLM and SAM

slate arrow
#

That won't take you very long.

halcyon hinge
#

i just got to eulmore and the framerate is so bad. I run a 3070 and get 120fps+ in alliance raids on max settings, but in eulmore i get 35-50 only with visible tearing. Is that the case for everybody?

#

i did notice there was a ton of people in eulmore

slate arrow
#

@halcyon hinge yes

#

Mainly since yes, people

halcyon hinge
#

i turned the "people and objects rendered" setting from maximum to minimum

#

but only saw a 5fps increase

#

from 45 to 50

slate arrow
#

lmao

#

Yeah nah FFXIV still suffers

open coral
#

Yeah, Eulmore lags a lot

slate arrow
#

But then any engine suffers rendering that number of players

crude pulsar
#

can u pay in the ffxiv store with paypal?

slate arrow
#

Via Crysta, yes

#

But not directly

halcyon hinge
#

reminds me of the good ol days of 10fps odins

#

seriously a 3070 cant handle eulmore

#

thats a bit shocking

slate arrow
#

Mmmmm less that and more weird cpu bottlenecking

#

FFXIV is an ancient game by modern standards

#

It only really uses 1-2 cores at best

halcyon hinge
#

i get 110+ at foundation and other hubs

#

but eulmore is <60

slate arrow
#

Short of a complete engine overhaul they won't be able to fix their engine for CPU bottlenecking

halcyon hinge
#

thats a shame

It's PS3 software lol

#

Believe it or not your GPU isn't the only thing FFXIV is running on :d

#

It's why it preforms so well in raids because the game is actually very well optimized for 8 players + instance mobs

Going beyond that results in Bottlenecking, Sometimes™

How do you get the last two ranks of your GC? When I ask for a promotion it says I've hit the max allowable rank

twilit arch
#

they require you to level up squadron

halcyon hinge
#

a restart of the game seems to have bumped up the fps a bit

#

but that could just be ppl logging off

twilit arch
#

1st LT requires you to get squadron to lvl 40 and complete the flagged mission (though likely won't be able to do it right off the bat as you have to meet all 3 stat requirements)

#

Captain requires you to be 1st LT and have done 5 different dungeons with your squadron for the flagged mission to appear, and complete it

south roost

I'm still waiting to get the 4th member because I don't have any applications

frail loom
#

How much of the game can you solo? Like I know there are the trusts, squadrons, unsync, is it just some specific mechanics and hardest modes you can’t possibly do?

open ember
#

You need to play with others to progress story, like trials and dunegons

#

So technically all of it cannot be done solo

#

Until you get to Shadowbringers where you can start doing trust dunegons with NPC

frail loom
#

Ah so during MSQ you need others, that makes sense

open ember
#

Yep

#

But the story can be read alone obviously

strange coral
#

Those dungeons and trials can be done with duty finder, which uses matchmaking.

Is there a way to buy Dark matter with poetics?

#

im not sure what else to spend my poetics on, considering my lowest level is like 75

open coral
#

Outside of instances, however, the entire game is basically a solo endeavor.

#

I'd say from a gameplay standpoint, more time is actually spent on solo/story content than inside group instances.

#

Assuming standard clear times.

What’s the difference between draw and sleeve draw as an Astrologian?

!action sleeve draw

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Sleeve Draw** : lvl 70 AST (180.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Draws a card (arcanum) from your divining deck.
You cannot draw an arcanum if you are aligned with its Seal of Arcana. When aligned with all three seals, any arcanum may be drawn.
Additional Effect: Restores 8% of maximum MP

slate arrow
#

Draw is any of the 6 cards

#

Sleeve draw is that

#

Basically guarantees a seal you don't already have

Oooo

When I draw a card it won’t give me a seal right? I just did but I didn’t see any seal appears.

ty i got it

little swift
#

Are you doing your positionals correctly?

#

@stone stone

#

The challenge of monk mostly comes from doing mechanics and keeping good positional uptime

#

Though early on there aren't too many challenging things to work with because of gear scaling

stone stone
#

Its near impossible to get positional because I mostly level solo. Maybe that is why?

open coral
#

!action riddle of earth

little swift
#

Are you grinding mobs?

stone stone
#

Fates

little swift
#

Riddle is only effective for 3 gcds aura its not use and forget positional now

stone stone
#

Occasional Dungeon/Guildhest

little swift
#

And its not just a few combo options

open coral
#

Grinding mobs isn't efficient.

little swift
#

The entire monk combo variation is dependent on which buffs you have at a given time

#

Its a yes/no system

#

Have leaden fist? Bootshine

stone stone
#

One combo option starts a dot, another does the buff so basically do that dot then the buff and then regular combo and then back to buff to refresh

little swift
#

Have twin snakes? True strike

#

Have demolish? Snap punch

#

Its not 2 separate combos

#

Everything in that rotation is interchanged based on what you need

stone stone
#

Dot lasts a decent amount of time so combo ends up just fliping between original combo and the one with buff

little swift
#

Its 2 combo rotations for twin snakes and 3 for demolish

#

Its not refresh dot at every other combo

stone stone
#

Yea I know, I just wish there was more. Like it would be cool if a part of the combo could stun/interrupt so situationaly you could stop their moves or something. Also would help get positionals then

little swift
#

You're grinding fates and stuff

#

Its not really representative of how monk plays

#

But I do understand where you're coming from

open coral
#

MNK is one of those classes that really shines in group content, rather than solo.

little swift
#

But I do understand where you're coming from

#

Monk has all its combo options relatively early and only gets ogcds and such as it levels past 50

stone stone
#

I think that also might be what I am missing as well

open coral
#

Which applies to most dps classes, honestly, but the melee classes suffer particularly in solo content.

stone stone
#

No ogcds kind feels weird after having them with other classes at this point

little swift
#

50 especially adds dragon kick

#

Which helps light up the monkey brain centers

#

!buff leaden fist

zinc orbitBOT

**Leaden Fist**

Next Bootshine will deal increased damage.

Also perfect balance will give you a semblance of a burst phase

You get tornado kick at 60

wet cradle
#

I try to crossbreed jute. is there an easy way to do it?

#

what seeds would you use for that?

stone stone
#

Yea but I mean it should do a debuff too like slow or stun to represent knocking them off balance

little swift
#

Slow/stun doesn't have much use in content

#

Bosses are almost always immune

stone stone
#

It would be nice if it had use somewhere. I can understand bosses, but it would be cool if with effort you could stun enemies for longer then like 5 seconds every 10 minutes, but I guess stun locking enemies might be to broken I guess

Housing has a hidden timer on when it can be bought after demolition

#

Its random so that bots can't immediately snatch houses up

opaque pewter

So the only way to know is just to keep spamming the buy button?

faint flare

Yes

Unfortunately yes

Not at Potkin, but they get their fish approved and then desynth them for mats

when do i unlock mounts? im 28 and tired of running

faint flare

!faq mounts

#
Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

Do I need to lvl DoH to upgrade Augmented gear?

So like with the Tome Augmented gear?

To upgrade tome gear you need the respective upgrade items, gotten usually via 24man coins, Sacks of nuts or via savage

Yes

Dusting is accessories (and belt), twine is armour, ester is weapon

You can do that on either sub type

The only difference is the amount of characters

faint flare

Standard is 40 characters max, 8 per world

lilac dock
#

hell yeah

#

long time i thought that only meant on YOUR datacentre

Only reason to go to standard is if you're a major alt aholic or want alts on the same world

#

Data centre isn't even referenced

#

Only the world

lilac dock

excellent that makes things easier

also im not sure why im standard now lol

if i'd like to go crit + direct with materials for a healer, should i try to keep the stats somewhat balanced? Or try to get highest crit possible and got Direct where i cant go crit anymore?

lilac dock

crit first generally

empty pecan
#

Can you change a housing plots ownership from fc to private or private to fc once you buy it?

lilac dock
#

if it cant fit any more crit, go with SpS or DHit

little swift
#

For healers its sps to tier > piety to comfort > crit > dhit/det

lilac dock
#

^

cold steppe
#

i thought about SpS but im not confidant enough with my weaving windows so i'd rather go Dhit just to do more damage more consistantly, personally

empty pecan
#

Is there a difference between fc and private housing?

little swift
#

Dhit/det is more of a do you want more damage or slightly more healing/damage

faint flare
#

When it comes to stats, you generally get as much as you can if there's no tier you need to hit

lilac dock
#

what class you running?

little swift
cold steppe
#

Me? AST primarly

little swift
#

Because both the recast and the cast channel are reduced

#

You'll always have that 1s to weave

lilac dock
#

are you trying to double weave or single weave

little swift
#

You can't double without instants

vast crown
lilac dock
#

cause double weaving is nigh impossible without insta- channy speak faster

cold steppe
#

yeah but animations dont change, so if i barely get 2 weaves in instant cast sometimes

#

it might cause me to clip

#

if the cooldown goes down faster

little swift
#

Thats just comfort on the weave window timings

shrewd nimbus
#

It's been a minute since I played the game. I renewed my sub today, and noticed the greased lightning icon is gone. Did they remove it from monk?

Oh my god

faint flare

No need to build it

but yeah i generally didnt bothered to look much into SPS yet because im honestly ot sure at what speed i'd be comfortably with so yeh

lilac dock
#

just my personal taste but as an AST main i like running around 2.40 recast

cold steppe
#

thats why i thought to not think about it too much and go det

#

im at 2.46 rn but im not sure how it'll change over the course of changing the gear tbh, since im at mostly crafted gear rn

smoky moss
#

Can I turn off the teleport for my apartment?

Your weave timings don't change at all until you go past 2.1 gcd

I think some astro bis go down to like 2.32 or something

lilac dock
#

fastro be strongk

#

but yeah most are either fastro or moderate SpS

Ok. Thanks!

cold steppe

they dont unless i just sometimes cast stuff too late, keep in mind i really dont play long yet, and from "endgame fights" to quote i've beaten only unreal titan, and even then i sometimes was almost clipping 2nd weave on lightspeed to malefic

little swift
#

If you don't do savage it's not even super necessary to align for fights

#

Unreal ilvl syncs you to 430

#

Its going to fuck with your sps

cold steppe
#

even more, since if it goes down to basic 2.5 and i was almost clipping

It might also be you're pressing things too late

First third of the gcd roll is first weave window

faint flare
#

Yeah probably

cold steppe
little swift
#

Second third is 2nd window

#

If you let it roll past that and still try to double

#

Itll clip

cold steppe
#

you know it also might be a thing im just panicked so i think im almost clipping when i could have more than 0.2s yet for the cast so yknow

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

little swift
#

If you have 0.2s until the next gcd you're too late

cold steppe
#

but yeah what sps to tier even mean at this point? to like equal number? so to 2.4, 2.3 and so forth?

#

0.2s after 2nd weave Chann

Substats work in tiers

Getting a certain amount will push the percentage to increase

Or in the case of gcd

#

Reduce it by 0.01

since it's still subscribtion based game

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.

im aware, but also diffrent gear have diffrent stats

#

See the image

cold steppe
#

thats what i mean

faint flare
#

You still follow the general melding priority

cold steppe
#

some have det/crit, some crit/sps and so forth

#

so for example assuming i'd want to go for 2.35 GCD, amout of SPS materias i want depends on how many SPS i have in base gear in the first place

faint flare
#

Yes

sudden wolf
#

It’s not doing anything

faint flare
#

If you have more sps on gear you'll need less speed from materia

I know that in this question it is difficult that you can help me but I was wondering how difficult it is to find people to play with if you are from a language that the game does not have translated, such as Spanish for example, I know some English but at the level they use I don't think I'm going to find out much about this game, so even though I would like to try this game, it seems too complicated a path compared to others translated into my language like wow

I don't know, what do you think?

cold steppe
#

last question then i suppose

#

what GCD is generally suggested for AST? I dont think Balance discord really makes it plain if you have good ping what exact GCD speed you want to reach exactly, and since the BIS gears suggested there are i530 which are out of my range in the first place im not sure i should be suggesting from them tbh

karmic niche
#

Don't worry about taht stuff

#

That*

#

Until you are lvl 80

i'm lvl 80 🔪

little swift
#

we also have recruitment channels here as well

#

and on reddit

karmic niche
#

Well you can go to saltedxiv if you want more guides

little swift
#

this tier because the gear itself also has a bit more sps

#

you end up a tad faster

cold steppe
#

hmm...

little swift
#

generally speaking though another decent gauge is being able to fit a comfortable 6-7 gcds inside lightspeed as well

#

and typically healers don't want to be at base sps

#

makes movement for things a tad tighter through slidecasts (less so for astro but nevertheless)

#

the balance typically only suggests the bis that includes savage

cold steppe
#

understandable

little swift
#

because thats how bis works

#

you only take from the pool of best gear

nova flicker
#

is there the % thingy for ARR extreme primals? first time trying out FF logs

faint flare
#

No

#

Its primarily for current endgane content

nova flicker
#

yeah thought so

little swift
#

so what you can do, should you not pursue savage is to emulate it to the best of your ability with the gear you have access to

nova flicker
#

on a side note

#

how do you put only the fight you had done

#

the log file had bunch of stuff

#

even from 1 day before

little swift
#

"upload a specific fight"

faint flare
#

Should be an option on the uploader

little swift
#

is a setting in ffflogs uploader

nova flicker
#

ah, probably missed it

i mean i dont mind savage but i might not necesarly be able to attempt most if not all savages of current tier, i do want to attempt current tier extreme tho

little swift
#

just go for it

#

if you have i500 just join learning parties

cold steppe
#

i guess i'll just try 2.3something for now and just see how i like it, worst case i'll change it around and thats it

little swift
#

bump it down little by little

#

drastic changes are harder to adjust to

#

2.4 is a good sweet spot to work with

cold steppe
#

yeah, i still have alot of time to get the tomestone gear since it's capped...

#

one more question then, in case of cryptlurker gear, how do you get that material to augment it?

#

from savages in current tier?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

10s drops accessory (and belt) upgrade, 11z drops weapon and armour upgrades

#

Needs to be rolled on

cold steppe
#

I see

faint flare
#

Can also be brought with books from their respective floor

I don't know how accurate this is, but I think some worlds have Spanish communities according to reddit: Hyperion, Lamia, Cactuar (these are NA servers) https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/bg78ct/a_comprehensive_server_guide/
I assume EU servers have a bigger mix and you can find Spanish speakers if you ask around

do i sign up to be a black mage in uldah

faint flare
#

The upgrades will be added to 24man coins and hunts in 5.5 (excepy weapon upgrade, thats later)

Thaumaturges guild @lament basalt

faint flare
#

Thaumatugre/black mage is in uldah

cold steppe
#

i've also noticed that in terms of astro "bis" gear it's mix of cryptlurker and edenmorn stuff, i assume edenmorn stuff are also savage-locked pieces?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Thats the savage gear that drops

robust crow
#

bis for every class is some combination of augmented cryptlurker and savage gear

#

you might see the odd pentameld piece or unaugmented cryptlurker in some sets

cold steppe
#

intresting mooglethink

#

i assume it's mixed to avoid stats like too much piety and stuff

faint flare
#

Yes

robust crow
#

it's mainly mixed to maximize the strongest substat

#

not necessarily to avoid a substat

#

although avoiding the bad substat is a bundle deal

faint flare
#

Well maximising stats you want and minimising stats you dont

cold steppe
#

makes sense

#

tho i probably wont bother with it too much and just go for mostly cryptlurker tbh, especially since even if i'll manage to get into savage fights and actually beat them, i'd rather get usable gears for multiple classes than just 1

#

and it probably dont matter THAT much in the end

terse grail
#

my mantra always is "get the gear for the content you wanna do"

cold steppe
#

i dont play for long so im honestly blind with alot of stuff

terse grail
#

if your plan is to just do roulettes, dungeons, etc, you dont need anything more than like 490 right now

robust crow
#

most players just buy only the cryptlurker pieces that end up bis

#

there are some that buy full cryptlurker sets and I cringe every time I see it

#

if you aren't doing savage then there's no real reason to be above i510 anyway

little swift
#

i only go full tome on jobs i don't plan to play

terse grail
#

tbf to those ppl tho, they are just people that dont run savage but want the best gear

karmic niche
#

Buy full sets from the glamour

robust crow
#

yes but what are they even going to use the best gear for

cold steppe
#

to be fair im not sure if i'll get into savages this tier yet, as im taking my time and for now kinda just lvling jobs all around

terse grail
#

cuz at the end of the day, even if you don't need the gear, having it will make you perform better in whatever content you end up doing

cold steppe
#

so i have less trash gear around

faint flare
#

They're gonna level with it in the next expansion

robust crow
#

multiple months worth of revelations to end up being leveling gear

cold steppe
#

i guess i'll just buy "BIS" crypto for now and see how it'll develop for me

robust crow
#

👌

faint flare
#

Its fool proof

#

Think of the poetic savings

terse grail
#

some people just like getting gear, even if they dont do hard stuff ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

who are we to judge

#

its a goal for them to hit, let them be lol

faint flare
#

Its a gear treadmill game

cold steppe
#

hardest thing i did so far was Unreal titan, and it took me like half a day to even clear once lol

faint flare
#

So gear is all trash eventually

cold steppe
#

but unreal titan doesnt really need gear anyway since it downscales

manic flare
robust crow
#

neither does first floor savage, eriotto

little swift
terse grail
#

trust me lol, im in the same camp as you are. but i also understand that some ppl just like getting gear, regardless of if they need it or not

manic flare
#

i was sporting neo-ishgarddian gear already in praetorium as a noobie

#

revelations for off classes

#

I'm already working on my 2nd and 3rd classes

cold steppe
#

oh right another question

#

when di i shuffle/retry on khloe book thing

faint flare
#

7 seals

robust crow
#

get to 7 stamps

faint flare
#

For shuffle

#

Try to get a line or 2

robust crow
#

shuffle until you get a possible 3 line configuration

#

either that or settle for a 1 or 2 line

#

retry is nice for when you'd rather spam one fight over and over again

#

I tend to reset the dungeons a lot since i complete those seals with roulettes

#

at the end of the week I'll mass reset whatever ARR EX is easiest

#

you can fuck up garuda EX in under a minute

cold steppe
#

I guess thats acceptable then? mooglethink

faint flare
#

Id take it

south roost
#

Is there no way to get more armory space? I'm doing all crafters and gathers and I keep running out of space

cold steppe
#

gochu, thanks for the help then

karmic niche
#

So in e11s do i cd the powder mark blast?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You cooldown both partd

#

Usually invuln one half

karmic niche
#

Is it enough time with 1 cd for both?

faint flare
#

Our tanks tend to invuln the second blast

karmic niche
#

Oh, yeah i am worried trying to manage my cd because of the lightning tank mini buster

robust crow
#

our tanks seem to just mit both

#

pld saves her invuln for uptime during right of the heavens

#

I honestly don't even know when our gnb invulns

karmic niche
#

Heavens1?

robust crow
#

I never notice it

karmic niche
#

I will just use the low cd for lightning blast

robust crow
#

I'm not sure which heavens she invulns tbh since I'm not healing this tier

faint flare
#

Tbh you can keep full uptime on 11s unless you're forced out during Turn of the heavens 2

robust crow
#

I think she does it during heavens 1 so she doesn't have to move the boss

faint flare
#

Does she not get the mark if you hallowed the first part

robust crow
#

I can't be completely sure though, I'm too busy worrying about potting during that time

#

i think she gets the mark and just ignores it? aeblobsweat

faint flare
#

Cause our ppd hallows during there but for the second powder hit and we just drag the boss between the mirror

#

So everyone can hit

karmic niche
#

Yeah you drag between the mirror

#

Or the blue/red circle

robust crow
#

yeah our party doesn't drag between the mirror so she must be invulning it

#

boss just stays middle while everyone else just wails on him

faint flare
#

So she's eating the mirror hits as well?

karmic niche
#

My fc leader just show me that to give more uptime for the tank with powder mark debuff

robust crow
#

our strat's probably not optimal

#

lol

#

but hey we saw prismatic at 19% a few times

karmic niche
#

I was thinking ghe same way as your pld i should just invu in heavens but then my fc leader show that strat i was like damn i am dumb

faint flare
#

I would think shw would be getting a damage down from the mirror hit...i dont think hallowed stops that

robust crow
#

if she gets a damage down she'd absolutely be complaining about it

#

but I don't notice her mentioning it

#

so maybe not

faint flare
robust crow
#

maybe it's the same logic as shield cheese in e10s

karmic niche
#

Nah hallow stop damage down

#

Like e9s anti

robust crow
#

if you don't take damage you don't get damage down

faint flare
karmic niche
#

Or yeah the cheese strat for e10s

faint flare
#

But wait...if she's tanking the boss...she has powder mark with a physical vuln

karmic niche
#

It block phy and magic isnt?

robust crow
#

I think our gnb might be eating the first hit of powder mark

#

and then they tank swap

karmic niche
#

That is normal haha
