Quick (and mb stupid) housing question, does it matters which construction permit I buy ? i've read that I can change walls/roof anyway to fit any style, so should I still take into consideration wether its wood/composite/stone ?
cold steppe
thanks for showing me the cutoffs before when it comes to stats, it's a bit easier to plan gear with it.
I decided to go for 2.4 GCD since to get another cut i'd need to go for at least 2 materias for it, where i could get crit instead, and if i'll go for crit for all gear that left without maxed crit, im getting 2 points more than the cutoff im hitting (2987 cutoff / 2989 total crit) which is probably best balance i can have with current materia slots/gear i currently have. Very usefull site to actually check.
i also wondered why my gear generally seems to have really low offensive stats, but as it turns out, crafted gear have alot of innate piety.
robust crow
if that bothers you then you can just use edenmete gear

i don't think any server's hit their limit on apartments though

roulette bonus is a scaling bonus which is why it doesn't show exactly what you get

before sergeant second class, do your grand company hunting log + fates/daily leveling roulette

after sergeant second class, turn in old dungeon gear for seals
faint flare
<@!247420148661616641> scaling?
The xp scales to your level
fossil moth
oh ok, thanks!
twilit arch
yes, how much exp it gives is based on the level you are
faint flare
As in you get more xp on a higher class
naive tartan
If you have a tank or healer, adventurer in need bonus also gives tons of seals
edgy stream
Can't you just have 15k then just change to 18 k when gaining level? I mean It's easier for me to calculate what's more efficient that way
faint flare
Could they, probably but they dont
edgy stream
ah well
twilit arch
leveling in particular cannot
because how it scales is based on your lvl vs the lvl of the dungeon you get
faint flare
Yeah that to
lavish vortex
Sorry, my question was left way up haha Why does the Recommended Button tells me that the lvl 1 Brand new ring is better than my lvl 50 augmented ironworks ring of slaying ring? Does it give 30% bonus exp beyond lvl 30 now?
twilit arch
so if you are lvl 70 and get a lvl 15 dungeon, you are naturally going to get a bigger bonus at the end to make up for the fact that the dungeon mobs give you next to nothing exp
what job are you?

twilit arch
its a good thing because leveling roulette gives you various level for dungeons, so making sure that the exp from the roulette itself makes up for the lack of xp from mobs means that ppl won't leave dungeons like satasha

scouting is the name of the left side (aka the armour set)
faint flare
Scouting left side, aiming accessories
lavish vortex
Got it, thanks
scarlet arrow
just as DRG wears Maiming armor and Slaying accessories
lavish vortex
Shouldn’t nin be slaying though? Since they use blades?
scarlet arrow
nin uses Dex, even though they are a melee class
faint flare
And ninja uses dexterity
edgy stream
Okey, but why can't you qeue for all roullettes at the same time then? would make qeueing faster right
faint flare
Because roulette ques you for ALOT of things at once already
robust crow
we don't make the rules augment

because that would put WAY too much strain on the matchmaking system with everyone doing that

you can do it before or after, though if you like the appearance equipment enough to keep using it, dying that one would probably be the smart move in the long run

It's like that by design. There are plenty of problems with the current system, yes, but this is in fact much better than how it used to be.

So, it was worse before?

The timer is primarily to prevent bots and housing resellers
leaden ginkgo
I understand that, but the fact that someone who sees a plot somewhere else in a better location than their current one can just waltz up and relocate. That's kinda silly.

Well now that plot is open
Though under the timer
Thats why for the first house, dont worry about location
Just get a house
You can relocate to a better spot later

||basically ilberd used the ala mhigan refugees he had gathered to spark a war by attacking baelsar's wall dressed as alliance soldiers and then had yuyuhase/laurentius signal to the garleans about intruders so they ultimately died. using a mix of aether/prayers from the dying refugees, and nidhogg's eyes he summoned shinryu. basically forcing the eozrean alliance to act and attempt to take back ala mhigo from the empire since they would likely retaliate for what happened at baelsar's wall|| @open rivet

||We storm Baelsar’s Wall to stop a false flag operation or something like that caused by The Griffin’s troops. We beat Ilberd at the end and he pulls out Nidhogg’s eyes to sacrifice himself and summon a really big primal that Papalymo sacrifices himself to delay the summon of. Nero comes along and he offers the solution of Omega which is buried in Cartenau, which we activate to deal with the primal.
The primal wakes up and properly summons into Shinryu and fights Omega. After a really flashy scene the two fly off towards the direction of Gyr Abania. Yda reveals herself to be Lyse, as the actual Yda died like 10 years ago fighting for Gyr Abania.||

I has questions
After doing my Lv 10 CNJ class quest I've unlocked the ability to go to the other guilds in Gridania
Except I don't know what Botanists, Leatherworkers and Carpenters do in FFXIV 🤔
warped nest
Botanist is gatherer, aka disciple of land
faint flare
Craft and gather
warped nest
Leatherworker and carpenter are crafter, aka disciple of hand
dire prawn
What do carpenters craft 🤔
warped nest
DoL gather materials and DoH use them to make gears, furniture, weapons, decoratives, etc
dire prawn
Oh
warped nest
Most furniture, weapons like bow, staff, fishing rod, etc
dire prawn
Are any of the three worth grabbing this early on or should I keep focusing on MSQ and CNJ class quests
warped nest
Crafting and gathering is a pretty big endeavor
I will say focus on your MSQ and CNJ
And maybe pick up other combat jobs if they look interesting to you
dire prawn
So come back to DoL/DoH once I beat ARR
Cause I'm gonna stay CNJ/WHM until I beat the Lv 50 MSQ and get my flying unicorn and then go grab Archer
warped nest
Making sure that you have all the information: generally we recommend doing all DoH/DoL together so you can be self sufficient. DoH relies on each other: for example, to make an armor, you might need metal, leather, fabric, and glue from Blacksmith, Leatherworker, Weaver, and Alchemist respectively
scarlet arrow
crafting and gathering in FFXIV is basically it's own sub-game
warped nest
Leveling them all will take time but you don't need to spend Gil buying intermediary materials when you craft

If y'all recommend doing the DoL/DoH jobs together since they all require each other to work then what would be a good point in the free trial to start focusing on that stuff
obsidian patio
Miner and botanist are a good starting point
modest current
I grabbed everything at once and I will say that was a bit to much
warped nest
The general consensus is doing DoH in late Heavensward, so you can use the HW Ishgardian Restoration side activity to grind level
obsidian patio
They don’t need crafters for gear since vendor stuff is good enough for them
warped nest
It is not the most efficient way, but it is the most convenient way
You can just sit there and grind while watching TV

To increase control do you just have to level up?

You don't gain stat ever from leveling up
In the context of Crafter, leveling up do make recipe easier if you match or out level them

If all my tanks have the same gear and the exact same melds, is it normal that they parse betweem 1-2% of each other?

Yes
At the highest skill level and gear the difference between the tanks are very small
leaden ginkgo
besides deep dungeons what are the best places to level from 50 to 70?
gusty pasture
huh, I actually thought GNB would beat them all with like 5% or something
gusty pasture
for some reason my WAR beats it by 1%, but it's ahead of DRK by another 1% as well. About to test PLD but I feel like I'll get the same result

ohh thank you. I keep debating which tank is the "best" tank as an omnitank main haha
faint flare
Yes...its the tank played well
little swift
just consider that WAR melds won't be the same as the other three tanks
you don't need/want direct hit on warrior
open coral
And im having weird targeting issue
Can you describe the issue?
gusty pasture
I kinda... did not put any DH melds on my gear
timid geyser
Yes...its the tank played well
Wait for the WAR mains to barge in and scream that WAR is the best tank
little swift
its not universally the best
faint flare
People play warrior? 
little swift
but it has the comfiest prog in terms of sustain
warped nest
May I ask why warrior don't need DH? Is it because IR and Infuriate gets them naturally so it becomes less useful for warrior?
gusty pasture
I just straight up melded Crit and Det on everything, then Dhit if both are capped
faint flare
It doesn't buff inner release
modest current
I last played a mmo...a few years ago. The scholar seems easy to heal with. Will that change at higher levels?
little swift
dhit only increases chance to dhit
faint flare
Or inner chaos
little swift
so it does nothing when your chance is 100% during burst phases
faint flare
It doesn't buff their big damage stuff
little swift
while crit and det both increase the damage
and crit increases the chance and the damage together
gusty pasture
so is it fine if I sit at 900 Dhit on all 4?
faint flare
If you're omni tank its fine

Hmm, that should be "hard" targeting unless you played with your settings.

Healer just get more skills to complement their existing moveset

L1/r1 changes targets while you hold the triggers

I dont think i did
Could double check

Too much standing still

with all the "special" walls (florist, smithy etc) you can't change the windows, doors, fence etc right?

Give me a minute to pull up the game and check where the setting for targeting is for controller.

gritty oracle
You could maybe like red mage. It can move freely every second gcd. Also yeha, blm is an acquired taste.

Red Mage dualcast might look like you get free movement

correct, they're basically an all in one deal

You still need to stand still to cast your first spell
open coral
@little nimbus Do me a favor. Go into your Character Settings > Control Settings > Target and tell me which boxes are checked off under "Target Settings"

Then the dualcast trait let you insta cast another spell, this is your free movement window

I might be a minute till im online

For 2 second

Trying to figure out why your target might be switching randomly.

Still better than no movement while dpsing

Yes, WHM is a healer.

warped nest
In case you are expecting this:
- this game doesn't have stat growth, so you can level a Mage for ages, and you can hop over and become a tank and be just as effective
- there is no spec, you cannot make an Evade tank for example
lament basalt

open coral
Whichever one you like the color or leader of the best.

Every Jobs in XIV have the move, and the expectation to deal damage

GNB is the closest you'll get to an evasion tank in this game.

ACTUALLY
open coral
There a pretty big disconnect between lore and mechanic here isnt there?
Yes and no. The reasoning behind why WHM spells go from "nature" to "light" at level 72 is actually lore-related.
timid geyser
It's useful in ONE dungeon
In haukke's manor you can skip a whole part by sneaking around the mobs and picking up the key in the last cell
open coral
Quicker just to kill everything.
warped nest
You are probably better off AOEing them down
timid geyser
Nope
simple shore
Sounds slower than me just wall to wall'ing as a tank.
timid geyser
Walling as a tank means that you have to kill everything

You're better off killing everything than doing stealth stuff

Whats it do ?
fallen niche
Essentially by doing different dungeons/trials/raids etc. as Blue Mage, you have a chance to get a spell that relates to that content
Like self destruct
currently locked only up to level 60 though
faint flare
Well by seeing an enemy cast specific spells you have a chance to learn them
fallen niche
though 70 might be soon

Inn overworld and dungeons
It will be 70 in 5.45
Which is probably within a few weeks
little nimbus
Any up side to learning enemy spells ?

Blue mage can use up to 24 spells out of their plethora they can learn
Currently there's 70 learnanble spells

All with varying effects
Some for tanking
