#

I'm halfway through 2.5 with about 40 hours played, and I expect it will be another 8 or so to finish through the end of 2.55 on my alt.

#

And that's with knowing where I'm going, streamlining my quest objectives, and only doing specific content quests.

leaden ginkgo
#

@acoustic mortar just dont make the mistake of telling your friends "it gets better" because they assume they mean the quests stop being boring... they dont really, the story gets better (subjective) but you still do fetch quest after fetch quest

#

now i havent played shadowbringers so i cant comment on that, but at least HW which people claim is miles ahead of ARR is still a boring slog gameplay wise

open coral
#

I mean, quests are quests.

next marsh
#

where do i get a e10s braindead macro

open coral
#

There's only so many types of quest.

next marsh
#

ive tried googling it but theres no result to copy

acoustic mortar
#

@leaden ginkgo gotcha, no they are not worried about that, it’s more of they are excited for fashion and golden saucer etc

iron hornet
#

Hey :) i returned and soon finish the story. I wonder what is current endcontent till 6.0?

(I got borzja r15 but i find that very boring content)

open coral
#

We've still got another major content patch before 6.0

#

Well, a patch and a half.

#

5.5 will have the final alliance raid, another dungeon, MSQ, the last Sorrows of Werlyt trial, etc. in the usual fashion.

#

And 5.55 will have the rest of the 6.0 run up MSQ, which will likely include yet another dungeon.

twilit arch
#

probably not

open coral
#

Wasn't Gymlyt Dark in 4.55?

#

Or am I misremembering?

twilit arch
#

no

#

4.5

#

same with baelsar's wall, both were in the first half

open coral
#

Ah.

#

No dungeon in 5.55 then.

#

Still some MSQ there though.

twilit arch
#

we might get another trial

#

since 5.5 will have the last weapon trial, and they might throw in an msq trial with 5.5x

next marsh
#

uh new question is there a depository in this discord where they store macros?

open coral
#

No

next marsh

ashen linden
#

what can i do with all these extra diadem approved items?

crystal bluff
#

sell em on the MB

#

if you don't plan on using them

ashen linden
#

i mean what are they even used for?

twilit arch
#

crafting restoration turn ins

glad quail
#

Are preferred servers worth playing on? I got to lvl 8 on another server, so I should be able to catch up if I start a new character

twilit arch
#

its usually recommended to go for a preferred server, since the road to 70 buff is really nice

#

especially for leveling alts

glad quail
#

Alright

floral rain
#

Hi all - getting ready to gear up a free trial run. Question - should I find a group to play with initially, or go solo and let the game walk me through the process? Unsure how that works. Happy to read a FAQ if there’s one available

oak ice
#

The game will be single player for a large portion and then making you queue up for dungeons

floral rain
worthy basin
#

what's the best essence for DR (rdm)?

Skirmisher

celest shuttle
#

is there a way I can auto reject FC invites?

strange coral
#

Setting busy status blocks them, but blocks other things too

iron hornet
#

Ok thanks!:)

celest shuttle
#

that sucks

broken musk
#

Do mogstation mounts/minions count towards the completion percentage?

agile laurel
#

yeah, sidequests aren't really of much consequence

floral rain
agile laurel
#

if you're on a preferred server, which since you're on crystal you likely are out of sheer coincidence, then you'll get more than enough xp to not have to bother with them

#

bluequest are the only useful sidequests

floral rain
#

Ahhhh so that’s how preferred servers work. Good to know

slate arrow
#

@broken musk depending on the quests, probably not

agile laurel
#

preferred servers grant the road to 70 buff

#

which gives huge xp multipliers under level 70

#

for the starting period, anyway

slate arrow
#

The only mounts which are in the completion lists should be beast tribes and extreme trials mounts

floral rain
agile laurel
#

but since barely anything in the game unlocks based on your character level, more 'the point you are in the MSQ', being overleveled doesn't count for a lot

lethal marten
#

yeah the game's main stuff can be done if you just focus on one job you like

agile laurel
leaden ginkgo
#

I just started Ishguard area and want to switch my class to a dark knight, would it completely slow down my MSQ to change classes right now?

#

What would I need to do to level up quickly

strange coral
#

You'd have to level back up to 50 to catch up.

#

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
strange coral

Standard alt leveling advice applies

sand stone
#

Guys when is valntain event?

strange coral
#

Wednesday

paper atlas
#

What stuff do I need in my Lost Finds Holster as a WHM for Bozjan?

slate arrow
#

whatever you want to bring

#

Personally though you can't go wrong with shell or protect as well as the steelsting and spellsting stuff

#

Everything else kinda leans into being situational

floral rain
agile laurel
#

end of the day this channel serves as a (likely more reliable) alternative so don't sweat it too much

floral rain
steep vine
#

So I’ve just got to shadowland, when is it I can start to do eureka

leaden ginkgo
#

Guys, I left ff14 like 6 months ago? 7? And I only logged in to do Eden Savage. Back then I quitted because I was already near endgame and it got repetitive bla bla bla. Is this a good momento to come back? Or did we get nothing new/different?

steady patrol
#

how does party treasure hunt work? is the loot shared between all members? or only the guy with the map gets it

agile laurel
#

loot is put up for roll, same as everything else

#

many groups run courtesy rule that only map owner gets loot

steady patrol
#

ah i see

lethal marten
steady patrol
#

is that the same goes for things like The Aquapolis

slate arrow
#

Rolled loot is generally map owner choice

#

Everything else goes into everyone's inventory based on the RNG

#

Like materia and random normal materials

steady patrol
#

so there are both rolled drops and fixed ones

slate arrow
#

Yes

steady patrol
#

i see

#

what level could you solo the level 60 dragon maps?

slate arrow
#

You can't

#

Well

manic flare
#

even with ilevel 530 gear?

slate arrow
#

Party maps have the random chance for map dungeons

#

Those you can't unsyncb

#

Solo maps can be soloed as long as you're at the level of above

steady patrol
#

so my best bet is to get a couple guys to party maps

leaden ginkgo
#

@lethal marten I see, ty. Also did they release gear that can buy in the market with higher stats than ESavage yet?

slate arrow
#

You only really need a tank and healer but 4 is the comfy amount, 8 is the maximum

lethal marten
#

No, not until 6.0

#

Highest crafted is i510, cap is i530

steady patrol
#

so the dungeon is actually not that hard? @slate arrow

slate arrow
#

It's just a lot of mobs

#

Item level sync means they're relatively easy

#

Even if you're at their level

steady patrol
#

i see

#

thanks

agile laurel
lethal marten
#

YMMV with Novice Network

#

Ultros one in my experience has been nice but I've heard horror stories from others

agile laurel
#

yeah, that's absolutely the case

#

sometimes you get mentors who actually are knowledgeable and wish to help, and sometimes you get mentors who did the bare minimum for the burger king crown against their name

floral rain
#

@agile laurel + @lethal marten - good points, guess i was lucky in whatever server i played previously. but i can see how Q&A here will be better received

lethal marten
#

I never use my BK Crown

steady patrol
#

tonberry NN is pretty good

#

kujata isnt bad either

#

all the other ones are all jp players

slate arrow
#

Burger king mentor also depends on how people got the crown as most new mentors generally have legitimately played the game... Or just curebotted their way to 3000 comms

agile laurel
dense sigil
#

OOPS

#

LMFAO

#

nobody saw ANYTHING

steady patrol
#

what was it

#

i tabbed out for one second

lethal marten
#

80/80/80 and 1500 Comms is just time

#

I have everything minus the 1500 comms lol

floral rain
#

one last question, how do the game time cards work? are they really based on days or play-time? so if i pick up a 60 day card and don't play for 10 days, i lose those 10 days entirely?

slate arrow
#

I lost track of how many comms are needed for combat mentor again

#

@floral rain days

#

Yes

floral rain
#

oof, good to know

slate arrow
#

It's a subscription, not a play time card

lethal marten
#

You're paying for a service

floral rain
#

yeah that makes sense

#

i've got baby #2 on the horizon, so gaming is sporadic and i'd kick myself if i paid for the service and barely use it. granted i should also say that about netflix, but still

leaden ginkgo
#

Where is the light data center located? For exitlag purposes..

slate arrow
#

Roughly in germany, iirc?

leaden ginkgo
#

I saw somewhere that it was Frankfurt. But according to exitlag I should be getting lower ping if I connect to Amsterdam, so was just a bit confused..

slate arrow
#

Could just be less people are connected to the amsterdam node

#

Since network congestion is a thing

leaden ginkgo
#

Guess I'll stick with amsterdam for now then, cheers!

plain atlas
#

is there a limit to how many GATEs i can do per day?

raven sage
#

no

lethal marten
#

No

plain atlas
#

hot

agile laurel
#

yeah exitlag for the purposes of DC proximity can be strange

#

I've stopped attempting to reason with it and just gone for the lowest ping node

honest anvil
#

are bozjan coins only for bozjan gears? any other use?

slate arrow
#

Buying the Bozja augment for gear

honest anvil
#

but those are outdated right?

lethal marten
#

glam is forever

raven sage
#

You can still use them if you want to augment the new law's order gear

slate arrow
#

Haste is the only way to get a faster GCD in bozja due to stat sync

wheat plume
#

Shelltron and Hallowed Ground to the same?

slate arrow
#

No

green grail
#

no, sheltron is like -20% damage for 6 seconds

#

HG is damage immunity for 10s

slate arrow
#

!action shelltron

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Sheltron** : lvl 35 PLD (50 Oath Gauge) (5.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Block incoming attacks.
Duration: 6 s
Oath Gauge Cost: 50

slate arrow
#

Block is a dedicated status determined by your currently equipped shield

wooden frigate
#

Hey, so didn't play for a while, and I'm pretty interested by the Sage (I know it won't come out till fall dw), I heard he was a Shield healer, so I was wondering if playing Scholar was a good idea to learn a similar role

slate arrow
#

!action Hallowed Ground

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Hallowed Ground** : lvl 50 PLD (420.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Renders you impervious to most attacks.
Duration: 10s

wooden frigate
#

That's the only healer I didnt play too

slate arrow
#

@wooden frigate fwiw we can't tell you until we get more info since we only saw the basic spells in the showcase

green grail
sterile crystal
#

So I saw there was Shiva figure pre orders on the JP store, do those from JP have the lore text in JP or EN?

agile laurel
#

they said they want to make a clear divide between whm+ast and sch+sag so it likely wouldn't be a terrible idea

#

if only to get some comfort in proactive playstyle

wooden frigate
#

Yeah true, I heard there was gonna be a beta in april, so more info on the class I guess?

slate arrow
#

No

agile laurel
#

iirc the beta was for ps5

slate arrow
#

That's for the ps5

agile laurel
#

not for endwalker

forest sage
#

beta is only for PS5 client

wooden frigate
#

Oh, the base vesion of the PS5 client, not a Endwalker beta

forest sage
#

expansions and patches never get public beta of any sort(besides 2.0 launch which was a special case since it was the relaunch of the game)

wooden frigate
#

Misunderstood it, thank you for clearing that up

green grail
#

we most likely won't get any more job info until the may fanfest

slate arrow
#

We likely won't be getting endwalker gameplay reveal outside the limited stuff we get with the digital fanfest in may

lethal marten
#

the big gameplay stuff will be a month before launch when the job action press bomb drops

slate arrow
#

Since I don't think they'll be inviting content creators of game sites to play and record

forest sage
#

SCH is still likely to be fairly different from Sage in terms of how they play, due in large part to the fairy, plus whatever unique mechanic(like fairy+gauge, lilies and cards) they have

#

also at least at max level, the whole shield aspect isn't used THAT much, mostly in endgame content for the raidwides that really hurt, which you mostly only find in savage/ultimates

arctic crescent
#

Is it a good idea to do MSQ / leveling roulettes after you have already done them for the day?

forest sage
#

like I'll routinely clear dungeons, EX trials or normal raids without using Adlo or Succor once

green grail
#

maybe they'll make whm the gcd pure healer and astro the ogcd pure healer, and then sage the gcd shielder and sch the ogcd shielder peepoStudy literally no use trying to predict anything about any job for now

wooden frigate
#

I see, I have one last question, I plan to clear the story I didnt clear yet before launch to be able to access to Endwalker the fastest I can, but I don't have Shadowbringers. Iirc correctly, when you buy a new extension, you get all the one released before, and I don't want to buy Shadowbringers alone, seems to be a dumb move, so approximately when we can pre order the next extension?

slate arrow
#

@arctic crescent no

arctic crescent
#

Thank you!

forest sage
#

preorder won't give access to ShB, if it's the same as last time

wooden frigate
#

So I would need to wait for the release day to access Shadowbringers

forest sage
#

if you want to clear shadowbringers before Endwalker launch, you'll have to buy ShB early on, if you want to save money instead, you'll have to do ShB story at launch

green grail
#

welllll last expansion there was a thing where they made stormblood free i think? for like a month or something?

forest sage
#

with that said, that's only based on previous expansion launches

#

it is possible they change it for this one, so I'd wait until preorders are announced

#

no they didn't

#

they made Heavensward free

green grail
#

oh yeah rip

wooden frigate
#

Welp, we'll see I guess, I still need to clear Heavensward and Stormblood story, so I guess I can take my sweet time to do both of those

forest sage
#

did you buy stormblood before?

wooden frigate
#

Maybe I'm gonna be lucky and the sage class is gonna be easily accessible like Stormblood classes

#

Yes

#

Doubt it tho

lethal marten
#

yes

forest sage
#

they already mentionned it'll be accessible right away

lethal marten
#

its starting in limsa

#

you just need to be 70

wooden frigate
#

Oh nice, so I just need to level my character

forest sage
#

but yeah for now just play the game and wait for more detailed info, they'll announce all the details a few months in advance

wooden frigate
#

Welp, I'll stick to my Astro till the update is out, thank you very much for the help

forest sage
#

I'd say probably in may when they do the online fanfest

wooden frigate
#

I guess i'll need to clear Shadowbringers for the story tho

forest sage
#

yeah you will have to do ShB story as usual

lethal marten
#

yup

#

and post-patches of course

wooden frigate
#

Was afraid of how they did it for the Astro, but it seems like they learnt from their past mistakes

twilit patrol
#

may only? omg..

twilit arch
#

they learned from HW

#

and new expacs jobs are pretty much always going to required x lvl (usually 20 lvls below that expac's lvl cap) and that expansion licence

lethal marten
#

ye, one of the biggest HW complaints was "we have to play another class until HW"

twilit arch
#

pick up quest will be in one of the three starting cities

lethal marten
#

now it's just Get The Level, Get The Job, you're good

wooden frigate
#

Oh nice

#

Welp, nice for the newcomers

hidden night
#

can a FC house be converted into a personal house if the FC dissolves? or how otherwise does that work

twilit arch
#

no

agile laurel
#

for smn, in e9s, how do I avoid my carbuncle being in Narnia due to me walking back from phasers to use Devotion during woods 1?

twilit arch
#

if you want to buy the plot for personal house, you'll have to wait out the timer like everyone else

agile laurel
#

is there any way to deal with that or is it just adjust to the carbuncle?

twilit arch
#

there's no way to convert plots from one type of housing to another

manic flare
#

is there a lot more toxicity in savage/ex duties than regular/casual content?

#

or about the same

hidden night
#

but you could just have an FC house but you're the only person in that FC

twilit arch
#

yeah sure that works

little swift
#

People aren't any more or less toxic snack

#

Just because they're doing harder content

#

They were toxic before that if they were at all

robust pond
#

^

#

There's just less chill people

manic flare
#

i just read these stories on reddit and makes me never want to do any savage content at all

lethal marten
#

remember

#

no one posts about the benign "we pulled twice and got my weekly reclear"

robust pond
#

^

lethal marten
#

everyone posts about "that one time we went into an E9S party and no one could do tiles for an hour"

little swift
#

Stories on reddit skew the perspective because toxic stories are more fun to read

robust pond
#

Yeeeep

lethal marten
#

or my favorite

little swift
#

Blindly taking them as gospel is just bad thinking

manic flare
#

and also stories from various other ffxiv discords

lethal marten
#

E11S "reclear but wipe on Turn Two"

little swift
#

Same idea snack

#

You're not thinking critically about this

#

And just taking what you see for face value

#

You yourself haven't tried the content

#

Form your own opinion about it

manic flare
#

this would be my worst nightmare:

twilit arch
#

yes, there are going to be bad players out there

#

and yes, you likely will experience shit runs like that

#

doesn't mean that its necessarily more likely to happen though

hidden night
#

honestly that last case looks like they were embarassed/not feeling it and left for their own reasons

#

i'm still getting through e11s but i haven't really run into anything truly toxic outside of "i hate all of you" from a dude after we got a e9s reclear that did not go great

lethal marten
#

yup

bronze wave
#

I am collecting Aether Currents in The Churning Mists but I am missing one. I tried following the maps online but I still couldn't locate the one missing. It is the second to last on the UI (which online maps didn't show this order). Anyone know which one it is?

lethal marten
#

mostly its just "people don't 100% know mechanics" and that's frustrating in of itself but not toxic

manic flare
#

do most peopel do practice EX/SAV for awhile before attempting a real EX/SAV

strange coral
little swift
#

@bronze wave second to last one is the 9th current on the maps

robust pond
#

Also use the compass

bronze wave
#

Thank you!

#

I also didn't (probably not yet) obtain the compass...

robust pond
#

(check in Ishgard)

#

You definitely should have gotten one by now

bronze wave
#

Then I probably lost it in some point(( will reobtain from Gibrillont

#

Thanks!

robust pond
#

^^

bronze wave
#

Oh its in the event item tab ((I was dumb slap

tidal yarrow
#

is there a way to have a chat that filters all the emotes directed at me?

robust pond
#

Uhhh, I thin so?

#

Check the settings thingy on the chat bar

#

Though, that might be all emotes

tidal yarrow
#

i found a way to have a chat for emotes but it just shows all the emotes others are doing, i'd like to see only the ones at me

robust pond
#

Oh, uhhhh

Hm

leaden ginkgo

Hello, i just got to lvl 80 in botanism in order to make money, so what is the more efficient way to make money with botanist job ? What should i farm ?

frail fulcrum
#

How can we get the space whale mount?

green grail
#

itll be added to mogstation around the may digital fanfest

lethal marten
frail fulcrum
#

@green grail thanks👍

wheat plume
#

is auto attack done always at same time intervals even If I'm using other actions?

little swift
#

Yes auto attacks are automatic

leaden ginkgo
#

does anyone know if a good savage practice discord server?

#

@lethal marten uh yeah ok

twilit patrol
#

i am level 19 glad, running satasha (lvl 15) dungeon is worth for exp?

strange coral
#

Copperbell Mines would be a better choice (lvl 17 dungeon). Also do your daily leveling roulette first if you haven't yet.

twilit patrol
#

yeah i am doing all of those and also fates

ocean acorn
twilit patrol
#

haven't unlocked it yet, need to do story

strange coral
#

Then I would recommend doing story, as that's your best source of exp.

twilit patrol
#

its just in duty finder they normally say the amount of exp rewarded

#

and in satasha case it doesn't so i just wonder if the exp is worth the hassle

twilit patrol
lethal marten
little swift
native pollen
spice phoenix
#

need to wait until later in the story

green grail
#

progress msq till you reach the other half of the zone

little swift
#

You'll go to the other side of the map later

native pollen
#

oof okay thank you

gloomy mortar
#

Ask your FC if anyone has a 2-person mount to give you a ride

dense sigil
#

so im finished with msq, and im not really sure what to do now. is there anything yall suggest doing?

lethal marten
#

side content, NG+ and reexperience everything, test new jobs, see what appeals

gloomy mortar
#

Buy a house

dense sigil
#

HA

#

how much do houses usually cost

gloomy mortar
#

3 million

dense sigil
#

jesus

#

i guess gil farming it is

gloomy mortar
#

Lol 🍺

faint flare
#

Thats for a small

topaz elm
#

crafting is fun

#

good way to earn money later too

dense sigil
#

yeha ive started leveling BTN and WVR

topaz elm
#

nice, best of luck to you, how are you levelling them?

dense sigil
#

ive been doing diadem for BTN

#

not rlly sure how to lvl crafters tbh

#

gatherers are pretty straightforward

timid geyser
#

Ishgard restoration

topaz elm
#

leves are quickest but require prep time in my opinion

timid geyser
#

That's your best bet

topaz elm
#

ishgard is self sufficient and can be fast as well

timid geyser
#

From 20 to 80 Ishgard resto is speed

#

ANd if you have gatherers leveled it's pretty much free

dense sigil
#

ahh yeah thats why i started gathering first

#

so i dont have to buy stuff

#

to craft

topaz elm
#

yeah good call

dense sigil
#

i dont got the gil for that lmfao

timid geyser

same tbh

topaz elm
#

can recommend alc or cul for money making

#

potions and food for raids sell a lot

timid geyser
#

The others make stuff that sells too

#

Minions, glam

dense sigil
#

alright ive got my next project then

#

how do i know what to craft for ishgard resto?

timid geyser
#

Check the ishgard restoration tab

topaz elm
#

grade 4 stuff

delicate field
#

hey guys, is weapon/armor crafting worth it? is the crafted stuff good or you can fin better stuff from monsters/quests/etc?

topaz elm
#

some stuff yes, others tome gear is the best to my knowledge

delicate field
#

what does "others tome gear" mean? I dont understand sorry

topaz elm
#

others, tome gear

delicate field
#

oh what is "tome gear"?

#

Allagan Tomestones?

topaz elm
#

like using tomes to get gear. one of the ways to get them is by doing end gear content

rotund spoke
#

Sooo what do you people usually do while waiting in duty finder?

delicate field
#

i typed tome gear in google and it pulled that page

topaz elm
#

craft lol

crystal bluff
#

alt-tab

green grail
#

yes that's tome gear

topaz elm
#

also poetics and revelations

delicate field
#

oh ok thx

rotund spoke
#

Can't craft without switching class right?

crystal bluff
#

correct

topaz elm
#

but you can still queue as a battle class then swap to crafting while waiting in queue

#

just dont forget to switch back

rotund spoke
#

Ohh that's amazing. I'm about to start Shadowbringers and this has always been a big downside for me. That waiting xD so can I fish too?

crystal bluff
#

yes

rotund spoke
#

Cool cool cool

topaz elm
#

yep

rotund spoke
#

Thank you

delicate field
#

there's too much content in this game, it's overwhelming lol

#

should I do these Leve things or that's totally optional?

oak ice
#

Totally optional

topaz elm
#

optional

rotund spoke
#

You done with msq?

topaz elm
#

up to preference

delicate field
#

no, im level 17 haha

oak ice
#

They can be used to level crafter and gatherers really quickly

#

But that's also optional

rotund spoke
#

Then I'd say do msq first xD

oak ice
#

Yes

#

msq and bluequest that appear in the MSQ header in the top left are not optional

delicate field

oh yeah? should i just skip crafting? I am 21 fisher and 26 culinarian

dense sigil
#

i think ur main priority should be MSQ

#

it unlocks a lot more of the game

oak ice
#

Crafting is optional, battle job class quests are not

#

But unlocking more jobs is optional

vernal urchin
#

if you enjoy them, then do them, but if you want to do more of the story or see more of the game, i'd wait until later

dense sigil
#

^ msq also carries ur main job to 80, so you dont really need to worry about grinding dungeons or leves until ur leveling alt jobs

(if you want to that is)

Hi 0/ what's the best way to level 60-70 palace of the dead to HoH? Haven't completed level 59 palace yet.

just make sure to do ur job quests everytime you get them

You need to do a level 20 MSQ called Sylph Management and your level 30 class quest to upgrade classes to jobs

Probably not

No

There are caps to the melds so you aren't much higher than 850

They scale like normal fates

More that have been done lately, more hp

I’m a new-ish player (got 2 characters to level 50) I want to play another class but don’t think I want to level them all the way up again, are boosts considered bad or a big waste?

In the trial you can’t sell crafts on the market board so probably not

So as a pleb it has taken me a long long time to hit 79 and almost be done with the MSQ. Im about to hit 80 and be done with the MSQ on my Warrior which will be my first 80 ever. Once I am done with MSQ my plans was to go head on into crafting. Is there any sort of crafting I should do first like say gathering professions maxxed out first im guessing or does it not matter at all? Looking to TRY to be mostly self sufficient as I enjoy being that way.

crystal bluff
#

you want to do them all evenly

rotund spoke
#

Great thank you. I remember the crystal tower loved that story.

crystal bluff
#

since the materials you gather and craft will be used in the other classes

nocturne gorge
#

Any idea on numbers such as how far i should go into one prof then move on

#

like level 20 or something etc

#

sorry if im asking for too specific

crystal bluff
#

i havent done any crafting, so i have no idea lol

nocturne gorge
#

-.-

lethal marten
#

I try for 10-level intervals

#

or at least until the next crafting tier

#

Weaver first since they craft left side

timid geyser
#

Basically you'll start needing stuff from other crafters around level 20

#

after that you'll usually need other crafters to make stuff

#

@rotund spoke there was small setup towards the end

lethal marten
#

Note: The Post-Stormblood stuff with 95% be used in Endwalker

#

any good crafting guides that most people point to that i could have or no

#

just use wiki?

should i use fan dance everytime its up?

Should be banking them for burst windows @dense sigil

And then unloading during them

Or spending if you're about to overcap

burst window?

#

sorry im a healer main LMFAO

crystal bluff

after using devilment and technical step

little swift
#

Healer main has nothing to do with this btw

gloomy ice

Basically a brief window when all of your buffs are up at the same time and you can dump everything into damage output

little swift
#

A burst window is a point in the fight where everyone's big damage buffs come together

#

Annd you want to slam as much damage as you can

During it

#

Healers have raidbuff windows as well

@nocturne gorge The easiest way to get started is just to do the crafting job quests, then when you hit a quest where they ask you to make something you can’t make, go start another crafting job quest

So I'm guessing if I'm going to be paying for all 12 months of the year I'm better off just buying the full 12 months at once do I save any money?

If you're a high level with Culinarian and you have access to The Crystarium, you can do levequests there to turn in Coffee Biscuits

idk about "fastest" but it's a reasonable way

fastest is probably still doing leveling/msq roulette once per day and then spamming your highest level dungeon after that, assuming you're a tank or healer

Doing all the daily roulettes will advance you ~2 levels. So 61 to 70 would be 5 days. Not sure if that is fast enough

Finally starting to get used to MCH, still not 100% sure if it's simpler than DNC but I'm having fun so that's ok. I think it might be simpler once I get used to it, but the swap from ST to AoE is a bit harder on this char vs the DNC. No melee/range hopping though so just a matter of getting used to the new buttons. Also, after...like...5 years of off and on attempts, I finally made it to Heavensward ❤️

@remote lintel Yea, but when you're used to dnc, it's just 2 attacks and 2 procs for both ST and AoE. It's a bit more to get used to for mch I think. BTW, I have the dumbest question ever, but is MCH based on that one guy from FF6 whose name I seriously can't remember...the prince or king you recruit early on...

Yea, not going to lie, the 100% forced party thing was a big turn off for me for a long time. That said, the players here are (mostly) insanely nice, and if you have a friend that's higher level they can just plow the dungeons for you anyway

remote lintel
#

i mean its an mmo

#

you play with people

lilac mason
#

for the last stage of the current relic weapon (time worn artifacts) do i have to run dungeons as the class that i want the weapon for or can i be any class?

crystal bluff
#

any

twilit arch
#

can be any

gloomy mortar
#

Any

lilac mason
#

cool thanks, time to level other classes in deep dungeons lol

gloomy mortar
#

👍

#

Shout

delicate field
#

yell is just a larger radius than say, then?

strange coral
#

Yes

twilit arch
#

yes

delicate field
#

cool thx

shut bane
#

stupid question, and it's probably already been asked. But since this is the first relic i bothered doing entirely. What's with the Stats allocating thingie. and does anyone happen to know what i should do regarding warrior for those stats? :3

faint flare
#

Follow your meld priotry

#

Same thing

shut bane
#

yea...never done that much either for warrior 😄

faint flare
#

Skill speed to get to 2.38s gcd > crit > det > the rest

shut bane
#

tho i never used tenacity for melds...or skill speed. but they are usually there as stats on any weapon-ish

remote lintel
#

dont bother melding tenacity

faint flare
#

Tenacity is essentially one of the lowest tier stats...You'll rarely if ever notice the effect

crude nacelle
#

if I have an anima weapon (fully completed) for say my main job, if I want an anima glamour for another job, do I have to repeat all the anima steps?

remote lintel
#

yes

crude nacelle
#

same with zeta?

remote lintel
#

with all relics

crude nacelle
#

ooof

obsidian patio
#

Though with the anima weapon you can stockpile the materials needed for future weapons, which can speed things up.

#

You just buy bits and pieces whenever you have excess poetics, or do the daily/weekly quests that give the singing clusters/aether oil

Will I have a hard time finding groups as a Bard? Like for raiding n stuff?

#

Someone told me Bard is bad

rigid dust
#

what does WT mean in a party finder o:

remote lintel
#

wondrous tails

rigid dust
#

ohhhh kk!

remote lintel
#

@leaden ginkgo no

#

there are no bad jobs

faint flare
#

Only bad people are bad

leaden ginkgo
#

I really like bard, so thats good to hear, but why do so many ppl say its not good?

remote lintel
#

nobody says its not good

crude nacelle
#

is there a third alliance raid yet? for shadowbringers

remote lintel
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

I asked in main chat a bit ago and alot of them were saying its sub-par

remote lintel
leaden ginkgo
#

ya

remote lintel
#

you wont get serious answers there

little swift
#

if you're talking about a purely fflogs "analysis" perspecitve

#

yes bard has lower adps output

#

but so does dancer

#

but does that make them bad?

#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

gotcha, I just wanna be the epic sax guy

remote lintel
leaden ginkgo
#

gonna find a glamour for it eventually

leaden ginkgo
remote lintel
#

i mean yeah

#

and its not the help channel

leaden ginkgo
#

true, Im still new so I did not notice this channel for like the first few days XD

#

just grinding this MSQ

little swift
#

its not that you won't find help

rigid dust
#

to answer your question more directly, i would just play whatever is most fun c: all of the DPS jobs are going to put up very similar damage, and it won't make much of a difference unless you're currently doing like, top 1% raiding lol

little swift
#

just people there spend more time talking about whatever

leaden ginkgo
#

ohhh

#

gotcha

#

Thanks for the tip lol

little swift
#

its not a huge deal

#

people rather you be good at somethign you like playing

rigid dust
#

nice!! c: that's good to know. i added that in just to be safe against generalizations hahaha

little swift
#

a couple of world first clears for some of the ultimates had "non-meta" jobs in them

little swift
#

yes

#

play what you want

leaden ginkgo
#

Thats awesome!

little swift
#

people who follow "meta" are people you probably don't want to play with anyways

rigid dust
#

@leaden ginkgo that gif is the same reaction i had coming to ffxiv from WoW cx hahaha

leaden ginkgo
#

Lol, this is mt first mmo

remote lintel
#

this game has balance

little swift
#

outside of fulfilling composition requirements

leaden ginkgo
#

Its...alot of buttons

little swift
#

you can run whatever

#

my group runs double physical ranged

#

we're doing fine

leaden ginkgo
#

that makes me glad I picked bard, I almost went rouge cause someone said its better

remote lintel
#

literally a bunch of people used to say dark knight sucked and then some guy got a world first clear with it because "he liked the class"

#

it really doesnt matter

leaden ginkgo
#

dooope

rigid dust
remote lintel
#

yeah you can be all classes on 1 character

#

so like

#

even if one is "bad" just switch

leaden ginkgo
#

I made like 4 characters for the classes XD

rigid dust
#

hahaha! i did the same at first too cx

remote lintel
#

this game is rather alt-unfriendly

rigid dust
leaden ginkgo
#

That is so freaking cool!

rigid dust
#

i know right!! it's very alt-unfriendly in the best way possible lol

sacred sage
#

I started playing again after about a year (didn’t play much then anyway but) and the combat just feels super clunky to me, like I have both hands on my keyboard using three abilities and then having to switch targets when the one I kill dies, so I was wondering if there are there any ways to help this or does it have to stay the same

remote lintel
#

people usually use 12345, shift+12345, qert, f, zxcv etc

#

you can rebind your keys to those

leaden ginkgo
rigid dust
#

i'd honestly also recommend picking up one of those cool MMO mouses with the buttons on them.

took me a little bit to get used to, but now i have all of my main abilities on my mouse keybinds cx

remote lintel
#

i wouldnt click with bard

#

bard is spammy

slim ravine
#

leaden ginkgo
twilit arch
#

#

so about 3 mos give or take

rigid dust
slim ravine
#

christ

#

guess i can forget about that sick gear set

#

ty

rigid dust
#

also, quick question. does setting Loot Rules > Greed Only in party finder enforce that, so people can only pick greed or pass? or should i leave it normal and put "All Need" or something in the comment?

remote lintel
#

for what

#

maps?

rigid dust
#

it's for a Trial, but i'm wanting to farm for mats there c:

remote lintel
#

i mean you can just leave it as normal and people will need

rigid dust
#

leaden ginkgo
#

BLUE MAGE: I was calculating the PoT/sec of the spells and glass dance came out to 3.9 while devour is at 4.1, yet I see guides that say drop devour as DPS don't need it for the slot cost yet keep glass dance, I don't even see this brought up for tanks. Am I missing something here?

faint flare
#

Glass dance is off global

remote lintel
austere meadow
faint flare
#

Do you need the extra hp > take devour

#

Else glass dance

umbral hollow

Hi, quick question. Im playing on the steam client, if I were to download the retail version, would my progress get transferred or do I have to start over?

faint flare
#

If you buy off steam yes

austere meadow
#

I'm making a list of spells based on their damage to decide what to drop once BLU 80 is a thing, is there anyway to calculate how valuable being able to weave an oGCD is compared to a GCD with much higher PoT?

remote lintel
#

you would need an entirely new account @regal willow

#

the steam version uses its own license

regal willow
#

oh ok, darn, I was thinking of switching but now Im not sure xD
Thanks

austere meadow
#

It's always better to get a PC/PS license so you're not forever locked into Steam.

regal willow
#

Yeah, Im pretty new so I haven't gotten that far so Ill probably think about it, thanks for the info

Demolishing the house and rebuilding it will make you lose progress

obsidian patio
hidden night
#

what about airship exploration progress?

obsidian patio
#

You can buy them directly with yellow scrips from the splendor vendors

#

Same thing

wheat plume

#

One second, almost out of a dungeon so I can check

wheat plume

#

The blue bag vendor in Ishgard should have it under an easier to navigate menu

#

Near the aetheryte

wheat plume
#

the folklore tomes, right?

#

nice, it worked, thxs

#

but, is it possible to get them too at the NPC in iddlyshire , somehow getting blue scripts, or is that completely useless now?

Is Phantom Flurry only worth it on crowds? From what I can tell you get two ticks at 200 PoT each and then a 600 PoT hit, for 1000 PoT total. considering how many GCDs this takes up, waiting for the 200 ticks doesn't seem worth it. Should I just double tap for the 600 right away on bosses?
