delicate field
#

how do i get the Collector's Glove to gather collectible? I unlocked the scrip exchange

random oxide
#

thanks, any clue what cutscene might have aymeric standing next to our WoL for comparison?

remote lintel
#

the one right before the vault probably

twilit arch
#

botanist and miner no longer have it, only fisher does @delicate field

remote lintel
#

he's not next to you but kinda close

twilit arch
#

any item that is intended to be a collectable will be gathered as such for bot/min

delicate field
#

how do i gather collectible then? I guess im reading old guides

random oxide
#

ty! i just want to do a height comparison

delicate field
#

is there a faq command on here for collectible?

whats the propper way/time to use sheltron (PLD)

delicate field
#

tanks

remote lintel
#

cycle it with your other cds

leaden ginkgo
#

should I use it just as another damage reduction or do I save it for big attacks or somethig

remote lintel
#

cycle it

delicate field
#

@twilit arch that guide doesnt say where to find them?

remote lintel
#

dont save it

leaden ginkgo
#

thx but already used udra's code

#

what are good things to trade for from grand company to make money?

twilit arch
#

glamour prisms are while don't go for much by itself, are often consistent sellers

#

so you can make decent money thru them

#

can also look at the crafting materials and see if any of them sell decently/consistently (coke for example is usually a good choice)

azure ivy
#

i see thanks

delicate field
#

I'm confused about collectibles. do they spawn on every map randomly?

twilit arch
#

no

delicate field
#

I found a Rarefied Dark Chestnut Sap at Tailfeather, when will another one be available?

random oxide
#

the old relic items can be good money sometimes too @azure ivy

twilit arch
#

the main collectables that you want to go for are the timed node collectables

#

meaning that those nodes are only going to be up at certain times (in game time)

delicate field
#

and then you only go for those that have something under "scrip"?

twilit arch
#

ye, those are timed nodes

#

ye

azure ivy
delicate field
#

so what are all the other ones? just rare stuff?

gloomy mortar
#

@azure ivy Also try Smoked Bacon, and make HQ Bacon Broth; sells for ~1k each, sells quickly.

twilit arch
#

most of them are crafted materials/leve quest items

runic cosmos
#

hi i want to add another hot bar to the side of the screen for mount pets etc is it possible ?

twilit arch
#

but some of them are also old collectables that don't have worth

#

yes, in the character config menu under the hotbar section or in the hud editor you can add more hot bars

runic cosmos
#

wow

#

thanks

  • Note: I should make appointments with a therapist after this grinding is over. Because, I am going to lose my sanity, probably.

  • Sub note: I know I can make my life easier for the Crystal Sands, but still counting only poetics is just punishing enough. lol

random oxide
#

although I personally buy ventures and only ventures. send retainers out on quick ventures every hour and the GC seals will be funding themselves (by turning in the untradable gear for more seals to trade for more ventures), and you sometimes get minions, good glam or dye worth 6 digits

leaden ginkgo
#

What am I missing

remote lintel
#

those are lvl 80

leaden ginkgo
#

whats the difference between need and greed ive just been pressing buttons this whole time What

#

Are they higher lvl than you?

remote lintel
#

is your gear lvl 80

leaden ginkgo
#

^

#

o

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm level 80

random oxide
leaden ginkgo
#

But in 74 gear

#

okudoke

warped nest
#

Is the gear level 80

remote lintel
#

weathered dancer gear is lvl 80

warped nest
#

Yeah, there's your problem

random oxide
#

@leaden ginkgo can't glam higher ilv stuff over, I'm pretty sure

warped nest
#

It is not ilvl

#

It is equip level

random oxide
#

oh lv74 gear lmao yeah that explains it

warped nest
#

You can glam level 50 i90 to look like level 50 i130

raven burrow
#

is there a way to tell when my doman enclave will be restored ? or atleast when i can unlock the junkmonger for glam ?

leaden ginkgo
twilit arch
#

basically by the achievements. You need Bio-doma II to unlock the junkmonger which is around 5weeks

random oxide
twilit arch
#

you can only need on gear you can use for the class/job you are @leaden ginkgo

leaden ginkgo
#

got it okay

frozen girder
#

Do I need the class unlocked to use a level skip?

remote lintel
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

so its what i thought it was, just wanted to make sure thank you

frozen girder
#

Hell ye

#

Cactuar here I come!

#

As soon as you open up for people

leaden ginkgo
#

how does housing auto demo work?

#

if u haven't entered ur house at least once in 30 days it gets demolished?

twilit arch
#

yes, you have to enter the house atleast once every 45 days or else it will be demolished

leaden ginkgo
#

is it 45 or 30

twilit arch
#

45

leaden ginkgo
#

so on day 46, the house is completely gone

twilit arch
#

yes

fierce cobalt
#

Can the alex normal series be soloed at 80? ive been waiting half an hour for a party

leaden ginkgo
#

first couple yea

#

i soloed savage

warped nest
#

I believe all of them can be

leaden ginkgo
#

if ur a WAR, for sure

warped nest
#

Dungeons will never be hardcore

leaden ginkgo
#

none are hard if u know what you're doing. certain mechs might trip you up but they're not "hard" per se

delicate field
#

it'll get harder once dungeons get insta death mechanics

warped nest
#

Even then, it is only "hard" because you don't know how to solve mechanics

delicate field
#

lol pretty much. you die oce or twice and then youre good

warped nest
#

It is not gonna be hard in the sense that "I need to perform beyond my limit to clear this"

raven burrow
#

@twilit arch where do i find the achievement for the doman enclave ? im there and i see no achievements in the current area tab

twilit arch
#

should be in the character section

raven burrow
#

ah found it , yes character section

#

thanks

#

not really helping me tho , theres no progress bar kekmax

guess ill play the waiting game

leaden ginkgo
#

Cutscene wise Castrum is shorter than Praetorium, but gameplay wise with good team on randoms, which one becomes faster?

remote lintel
#

castrum

leaden ginkgo
#

Castrum spam it is, then.

leaden ginkgo
# remote lintel castrum

Wait, actually, you told me Aetherochemical is poetic farming place, and I know you get bonus poetics from there by just doing it the first time(?)

#

Do you also keep getting bonuses if you keep doing it multiple times a day?

remote lintel
#

if someone in your party is doing it for the first time then you get the first time bonus

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah...

covert berry
#

should I do every hunting quest

#

or just if I need the exp?

wintry chasm
#

Hunting log thing you mean?

remote lintel
#

if you mean the hunt log theyre best for 15 and below

wintry chasm
#

^ it gets less worth while as you level up

remote lintel
#

and if youre waiting for queues i suppose

wintry chasm
#

^ that too sure

covert berry
#

for example

#

im lvl10, should i kill the ones lvl3 just for complete?

wintry chasm
#

Yes

#

It's about the completion bonus XP not the actual XP you get from killing the mob

#

Also you need to do all the hunts from levels 1-10 to get the 11-20 hunts as well

covert berry
#

oh

gilded forge
#

What is the quickest way to level from 70-80?

remote lintel
#

beast tribes, roulettes, highest level dungeon

gilded forge
#

Gotcha

bitter pivot
#

Does anyone know if you still need to have crafters leveled to utilize an FC workshop? I know they changed things around a few times and took out the 4 person requirement

covert berry
#

should I do the bluequest quests?

delicate field
#

What's the requirement or MSQ to access Diadem?

remote lintel
wintry chasm
#

^

silver ruin
#

to turn stuff in you need to have the required crafter level to actually craft the thing you're turning in

#

so a lv 1 armor wouldnt be able to turn stuff in

arctic glacier
#

Is there a way to turn on sticky targeting so I don't deselect a target when I left click?

wintry chasm
plush quartz
#

Will mentor requirements go up?

#

In 6.0

covert berry
#

@remote lintel im doing one saying "leves", should i abandon it?

wintry chasm
obsidian patio
#

Not right away

remote lintel
#

unless its the one that unlocks leves sure

obsidian patio
#

But yes it will

wintry chasm
covert berry
#

ah ok

thorny sinew
plush quartz
#

What are the new req?

obsidian patio
#

Probably just upping the levels required to 90 for tank/healer/DPS

#

And the new role quests

plush quartz
#

Commendations too?

obsidian patio
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

thorny sinew
#

It'll be the same as it always is. They'll add the new dungeons and trails, and the previous (ShB) Extremes. And needing to have 90 of each role.

plush quartz
#

Mentor Req right now doesn't ask for dungeons, trials, or extremes

thorny sinew
#

The roulette does, yes.

plush quartz
#

It just needs 1000 dungeons, 1500 comms, 80 healer/dps/tank role quest

#

Yeah but to become one I meant.

thorny sinew
#

The raw "I just want my crown" icon will likely just up the reqs to 90 after the buffer period.

dire prawn
#

How do I get Wind-up Kan-E

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright, so, one more time because I really am getting anxious and "scared" for no reason + low memory capacity....are 30 days enough for me to finish the anima weapon quest by farming and doing unsync dungeons everyday, by playing at least 8-12 hours per day? And my most worrisome part is the crystal sand farming, which, I know the methods, just asking if I stick just to poetic for the most part and spam praetorium/aetheric like 5-7 times per day or more.

remote lintel
#

yes

#

i did it in a week

leaden ginkgo
#

oh really?

remote lintel
#

yes

obsidian patio
#

@dire prawn buy the “Wind-Up Leader” minion from Jonathas and be in the Twin Adders

thorny sinew
#

IE: They won't take away your Mentor status when the expansion launches, but you'll have X amount of time (Usually when 6.1 will drop) you'll retain the crown and have that time to re-match the new reqs

obsidian patio
#

It only ever picks the minion that your GC is from.

dire prawn
obsidian patio
#

They’re all the same minion

signal aspen
#

a bit curious, can people actually do HW on trials?

obsidian patio
#

The one it summons is based on your GC

#

yes.

dire prawn
#

oh

remote lintel
#

the trial lets you play HW

thorny sinew
#

30 days will be plenty of time

leaden ginkgo
# remote lintel i did it in a week

Were the last dungeons too punishing and hard? A friend of mine told me the first 6 are easy, but it really worried me that he said it in a way as in, the next few remaining are going to be a nightmare, even at unsync.

dire prawn
#

Can Trials roulette pull from both the Hard and EX trials

remote lintel
#

are you 80?

obsidian patio
#

Only hard

#

Extremes are only in mentor roulette

dire prawn
#

Oh

thorny sinew
#

None of the dungeons at 80 are hard for you unsynced Agios, promise.

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes, I am lvl 80 DRK with Neo Ishgardian gear

remote lintel
#

then theyre easy

#

none of the anima stuff was hard

#

just grindy

dire prawn
#

So I won't get Ifrit EX oneshotting me with 25k damage then 😅

thorny sinew
#

The only thing you'll have to worry about is "Don't fall off" in a few fights. That's it. You'll sleepwalk the rest.

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay, thank you, I will believe you hardcore and put more faith in your words and get a sub and start working away.

thorny sinew
dire prawn
#

I'm not far enough into HW that I've unlocked anything LUL

thorny sinew
#

Well, any of the trials with edges really.

#

You shouldn't have any issue with the trial roulette nods

dire prawn
#

I'm pretty sure the only trial I have with edges like that is Titan Hard

#

Cause Leviathan I was told only has an edge mechanic on its EX version

thorny sinew
#

You'll unlock more as you go through HW.

#

But yes, Levi only drops the walls on Extreme.

leaden ginkgo
thorny sinew
#

Demimateria is from desynthing gear. Fieldcraft comes from gathering gear, etc.

#

And yes, you can trade a set of Demimateria as one of the trade-ins for Crystal Sand.

leaden ginkgo
#

So, if I desynth a gear or a materia, I will get crystal sands?

#

oh

#

perfect

thorny sinew
#

No. You can desynth gear and get a chance for the demimateria. But my point was "You can dump a ton of gil into the marketboard and buy the demimateria for the turn in"

leaden ginkgo
#

ohhh

#

smart move

thorny sinew
#

But if you're willing to click it yourself, hit up Limsa and go to the accessories vendor. Just buy a slew of Brass rings and Brass rings of Gathering.

leaden ginkgo
#

I'll see what I can do, then, I got like 400k gil with me right now.

thorny sinew
dire prawn
#

Trial roulette does give me poetics, right?

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you, Ali!

remote lintel
thorny sinew
dire prawn
#

Fuck

hoary fossil
#

One message removed from a suspended account.

dire prawn
#

Is there even a point to this roulette then if I need poetics

hoary fossil
#

One message removed from a suspended account.

thorny sinew
#

Exp

dire prawn
#

I don't need exp right now

covert berry
#

sorry for ask again but those bluequest quests are making me asking myself if i should do them or not

leaden ginkgo
#

-Sometimes, I feel really bad, coming here and asking and repeating asking questions to you all, especially under such a big pressure. I want you to know, I am so thankful to you all, Ali, Cerberus, Kaelwryn and Channy, you all are amazing and so knowledgeable. You can answer anything in seconds with your eyes closed and your hands tied behind your back.

covert berry
#

can i skip them if i dont need their exp?

remote lintel
#

i mean they unlock content

thorny sinew
#

That's great and all, but that's why it's there. A quick exp boost for those leveling, and for people at level cap, a quick chunk of endgame tomes once a day. If you're just trying to farm poetics, your best bet is Syrcus Tower spam, or once you're there in the HW storyline, Aetherochemical spam (And of course, the daily MSQ roulette for 500)

modest igloo
#

blue quests unlock things so you should do them

thorny sinew
covert berry
#

the ones from leves that require activation are needed?

remote lintel
#

no

dire prawn
#

Why is Aetherochemical spam the best poetics

remote lintel
#

you dont need the ones that say leves

covert berry
#

oh ok

remote lintel
#

because it gives 150 poetics and takes like 20 mins

covert berry
#

so basically every one that dont have the duty challenge

dire prawn
#

oh

thorny sinew
#

Well... you eventually will if you want to do the Zodiac weapons. But yeah, otherwise you can skip the level unlocks.

remote lintel
thorny sinew
#

Yeah, if you never want to play a Paladin, you can ignore the Gladiator line of quests etc.

covert berry
#

@remote lintel how can I know? 😦

thorny sinew
#

But if it's tied to dungeons/trials/etc, do them.

remote lintel
#

the ones that say "so you want to be ___" are classes

#

and they have the job stone/weapon in the rewards

leaden ginkgo
#

Aethero- is my way to go, if not castrum/praetorium, the thing is, the mechanics are still new to me, the party is basic 4 people and as a DRK bad player I tend to do a lot of mistakes. Plus, I hate burdening other players, especially healers...so, it is either my bad playstyle and slowly placing enemies bit by bit to defeat them or go in to longer runs but with people so OP that they just run and carry me....

#

-which, equally makes me feel ashamed/bad.

remote lintel
#

if you have flying in all shb areas just do hunt trains

leaden ginkgo
#

Did aethero- first time yesterday, it went well, no one died, but still though, felt hard lol

thorny sinew
dire prawn
#

At what point in the MSQ will I unlock Aethero for poetic farming

remote lintel
#

the end of HW

dire prawn
#

Fuck

leaden ginkgo
#

My anxiety lies on grouping enemies...

thorny sinew
#

The beautiful thing about Atherochemical, is you almost always get a new player bonus too because it's MSQ req'd. So many juicy poetics.

dire prawn
#

new player bonus is best bonus

covert berry
#

there are different places so idk where should I go first

#

D:

remote lintel
#

spam your aoe at 2+ enemies and youll be fine

thorny sinew
leaden ginkgo
#

I had accidents in the past with VERY impatient dps who were typing "yawn" and "get good" and "move on tard" on dungeons when I was placing few enemies at a time and not big pulls.

remote lintel
#

they got places to be or smth?

dire prawn
#

get good
move on tard
Sounds like reportable behavior to me

thorny sinew
remote lintel
#

you could also just kick them

dire prawn
#

See if they keep saying that when a GM drags them into the Gaol and gives them a 2 week ban SD3_kappacatears

leaden ginkgo
# remote lintel you could also just kick them

What if they are 2-3 people, basically the whole group and I am just one? I don't think I can, instead, they can kick me as a majority, and it did happened once when I had a problem with the party going in getting themselves killed before I pull.

#

They kicked me right after before the final boss.

remote lintel
#

then report

thorny sinew
#

If they are saying things like that, report them.

leaden ginkgo
#

ok..

thorny sinew
#

But 90% of tanking is confidence. Just gather things and aoe spam while rotating cooldowns. Once you get in the swing of it, you'll be fine. Just don't be afraid.

gloomy mortar
#

So when you report someone, is the chat log recorded? Can they just deny saying it?

remote lintel
#

chat log is recorded

thorny sinew
#

GM's have access to chat logs

dire prawn
#

Yes

runic cosmos
#

what gears comes after shire ?

dire prawn
#

Scaevan

#

i400 at Lv 70

#

Is it 400? thonkblocky

covert berry
#

@remote lintel some quests are so far so idk if i should just skip

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah, I think I got two fears about pulling: 1: Not sure if I can hold them, their dmg sometimes is insane. 2: Fear of putting pressure to the healer or if the healer is like me -lmao

remote lintel
#

yes

covert berry
#

like "where is the heart is"

remote lintel
#

that unlocks the residential area teleport @covert berry

thorny sinew
covert berry
#

should i stop doing main quest to do them?

dire prawn
#

If you turn tank stance on and then use even one AoE to pull them along for a bigger pull it's literally impossible to pull aggro back

thorny sinew
#

And yeah, when we say "cycle your cooldowns" you use one, and when it runs out, you then use another.

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright, thank you, all, again!!

remote lintel
thorny sinew
#

You cannot get derailed in this game.

signal aspen
#

does this question belong here? is there any word on future graphical overhauls in terms of AA,

covert berry
#

my main quest is up map

#

that quest is down map

#

like its somehow far

signal aspen
#

using reshade, and was wondering if there was any way of getting rid of jaggy

remote lintel
#

because it makes you travel to the residential area

gloomy mortar
#

How long is the chat log saved?

thorny sinew
#

But it's not far. The residential quests don't need to be done if you don't want to do them, but you seem to be stressing over something that doesn't need to be stressed over. Promise.

remote lintel
thorny sinew
# leaden ginkgo Alright, thank you, all, again!!

I will quickly add one thing when using your specific cooldowns. Don't use Living Dead without a chat macro on it announcing that you've used it. If a healer doesn't catch the icon while aoeing, you'll go splat when it ends.

remote lintel
#

you can use it without a macro

#

your healer should have eyes

woven swallow
#

I'm like lv 54 with drk and I worry more about overwhelming the healer since even with only lv 31 whm I find healing kinda stressful. When I do big-ish pulls I just cycle through mitigations and hope for the best

thorny sinew
remote lintel
#

i wouldnt say not to use it without a macro

leaden ginkgo
remote lintel
#

no

#

i rarely use it

thorny sinew
#

No, it's the worst death save in the game

leaden ginkgo
#

-thank god...

woven swallow
#

Living dead doesn't really work without coordination from what I've seen in other duties

leaden ginkgo
#

I was preparing to hear the worst.

remote lintel
#

and you could just ask them how big of a pull they want

woven swallow
#

Meh maybe I just need to work on it more, I haven't worked on whm in a while, been focusing on DoH/DoL

remote lintel
#

its really hard to overwhelm a healer who knows what theyre doing

gloomy mortar
#

I do big pulls if the DPS can fire on the run. Machinist, archer etc. By the time you stop, the trash train is whittled down

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, a good healer can handle just about anything the game lets you throw at them.

#

But you get a lot of sprout healers and folks just new to healing in general in the leveling roulette sometimes. You learn to balance.

woven swallow
#

I'm just a bit more comfortable in tanking since I did it in WoW as a prot pally. I've gotten a few occasions where I've done big pulls and the healer can't keep up so I feel bad lol

remote lintel
#

then ask them

woven swallow
#

Yeah, I've been working on that

covert berry
#

@remote lintel btw how do i travel to the place of the heart

#

idk how

remote lintel
#

what quest

covert berry
#

where heart is

#

(the lavender beds)

covert berry
#

tysm honey

#

i open but

#

it doesnt say how i travel

slate arrow
#

The travel point is usually right next to the quest unlock or close by

#

Just look at the map

covert berry
#

ty

#

i love reading 🙂

#

btw i unlocked res area

#

is it unlocked to all characters or i need repeat the quest?

slate arrow
#

it's per character

#

Unless stated otherwise, always assume per character

leaden ginkgo
#

I plan to play a lot and everyday, should I get 30 day or 90 day?

#

I saw the prices and they are like 2-3 euro diff

#

-sub

#

oh nvm

#

wrong

slate arrow
#

personally, I use 30 day entry

leaden ginkgo
#

just clicked the visa thing because this is where i can see the prices

#

not with the steam option

#

is it going to be the same regardless?

#

or, steam is more expensive?

slate arrow
#

Not sure, but the prices should be the same regardless of payment method. I think steam does have regional pricing?

leaden ginkgo
#

hmm...

slate arrow
#

go entry

#

Entry is the 180 day rate in 30 day blocks

#

It's literally the same just only up to 8 characters rather than 40

dapper oyster
#

where is the place where we can claim free level 70 equipment again? iirc its underwater in distant hut from the aetherite

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah, i don't really plan on using multiple characters on each server, just 1 is more than enough

remote lintel
#

if you mean job gear the calamity salvager

leaden ginkgo
obsidian patio
#

It sounds like you’re thinking of the level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in the tempest.

dapper oyster
#

iirc it looks like low level job gear but with higher stat

#

oh its 80, alright my bad

thanks

slate arrow
#

if you want the dyeable version you'll need to do the relic quest extreme trial

covert berry
#

should I stop my story to do "old" hunting?

#

im lvl14 but still didnt do lvl3 hunting monsters

#

from hunting log

remote lintel
#

you dont need to

obsidian patio
#

Nah, they’re not vital.

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright, doing it, I will buy my first sub with steam wallet. I hope it works and I will be fine.

covert berry
#

ahh

#

someone told me i wouldnt unlock the next ones

#

i didnt want to get "stuck"

remote lintel
#

hunting logs arent required

#

theyre mainly for leveling alt classes

#

What does ‘8 character max per world ‘ mean? You can have 8 alts on one world? Each with 2 retainers? Do people really use 40 characters?

gritty oracle
#

More like get recruited in your case

thorny sinew
covert berry
#

but they are required finish?

thorny sinew
#

The game really respects the casual player aspect.

remote lintel
#

people dont use 40 characters

leaden ginkgo
#

^

thorny sinew
#

The hunting logs? You get a level 50 ring if you do all of them.

leaden ginkgo
#

I'd be surprised if they did

#

.....

thorny sinew
#

That's it.

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright, I will try to log in, wish me luck, everyone.

gritty oracle
#

Also iirc some logs are required for a GC rank up

thorny sinew
#

The exp for leveling that class can be nice, but it's not something you need to stress about.

remote lintel
#

those are separate

covert berry
#

@thorny sinew is the ring worth?

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, that's the GC one though.

remote lintel
#

GC logs are their own thing

covert berry
#

meh i may skip it

thorny sinew
#

But really. Don't stress about it. So long as you're doing your MSQ and unlocking dungeons and jobs you want, you're not going to do something wrong

gloomy mortar
#

1 character per world, 8 max characters per world. What does that mean?

leaden ginkgo
#

IT WORKS!!!!!!!

#

I AM SO HAPPY!

thorny sinew
#

One character on Cactuar, one character on Jenova, etc.

leaden ginkgo
#

I can play for 30 days now!

thorny sinew
#

8 max characters across the account itself

gritty oracle
leaden ginkgo
#

btw, guys, should I click this yellow thing?

#

I don't really get it.

#

-even though it explains it

thorny sinew
#

So you could have 1 character on 8 servers.

remote lintel
#

it just puts you in the novice network really

leaden ginkgo
#

is it bad?

gritty oracle
#

If it says "accept free stuff" then click it

thorny sinew
#

You should hit yes.

remote lintel
#

no

#

the novice network is like this server but less moderated

thorny sinew
#

With the questions you've asked. Plus it will give you a little returner flower icon.

leaden ginkgo
#

-any chance won't want to play with me if i am put in novice?

thorny sinew
#

Which will help random folks see that you've just come back.

remote lintel
#

no

thorny sinew
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

ok

remote lintel
#

you get the flower regardless iirc

leaden ginkgo
#

hahaha sorry, ik am just so happy right now

#

and so overwhelmed

gritty oracle
#

Npnp. Tbh I recommend joining NN, even if only for the company.

thorny sinew
#

It's a handy chat server (most of the time). We try and answer questions there for folks, just like here.

gritty oracle
#

The actual teaching aspect of the channel can be... Subpar, depending on server and time of day

leaden ginkgo
#

sounds good and fair

#

i read all of this

#

i'll join -duh

#

hahah

#

thank you, everyone!

#

oh wait, you are in there, too?

#

That's amazing!

gloomy mortar
#

What’s the difference between world and server? And how can you simultaneously have 8 characters when only 1 character is allowed per world

leaden ginkgo
#

Maybe, one day, we may even play together.

thorny sinew
#

I'm a mentor on Cactuar, yes.

remote lintel
#

world and server are interchangeable

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm looking forward to that.

leaden ginkgo
#

oh....

dire prawn
#

A World is a server

thorny sinew
#

Data Center = Cluster of servers

remote lintel
#

you can have 1 character per world with a total of 8 character

leaden ginkgo
#

I forgot, yeah...

remote lintel
#

so you can make 1 character on 8 different worlds

woven swallow
#

Novice Network is fun, people's conduct really depends on server in my experience. You could get mentors helping novices, or 2 people arguing about the minimum wage

gloomy mortar
#

So one character on Ultros, one on Famfrit, etc?

thorny sinew
#

^ This. I pop in and out when I have downtime so I can answer questions if they show up, but I don't keep it on all the time.

woven swallow
#

And yes, that's happened to me

remote lintel
#

yes @gloomy mortar

thorny sinew
#

Yes.

gritty oracle
#

Or even shitposting about spoilers, although I try to keep the channel spoiler-free when I'm on

thorny sinew
#

I personally only have the one character, so I use the cheaper sub and just pay for an extra retainer.

woven swallow
#

I didn't even know the entry level didn't have restrictions on being able to buy xpacs or veteran rewards so I may have to downgrade to that one, I don't use more than 1 char

remote lintel
leaden ginkgo
#

oh sorry!@

thorny sinew
woven swallow
#

That's nice to have

thorny sinew
#

For a game that lets you do everything on one character, it's wonderful.

woven swallow
#

That inventory management though, phew. Good thing you can have 2 retainers (didn't find that out until recently either)

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, that's why I pay for a third with the difference in sub cost.

#

Saddlebag helps too, and you can get a second saddlebag if you want through the companion app (along with another retainer tied into the cost) but it's 5USD/mo

#

So like shoves app off cliff

woven swallow
#

It sucks I can't check the market on my phone while I'm logged in, that would really help instead of having to haul my butt to a big city in the middle of gathering

thorny sinew
#

You do however, get an extra free favoured destination for crystal teleports simply for syncing your character to the app, so I always suggest people do it.

gloomy mortar
#

People in my FC use the standard sub to create alts to hold overflowing inventory, also to sell stuff.

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, but having to mail everything back and forth is just... ugh

woven swallow
#

Yeah, I took advantage of the extra favorite location almost immediately

leaden ginkgo
#

Are these the ones I can desynthesize?

gloomy mortar
#

They get around the mailing by having their alt join the FC, then you can just use the FC chest

woven swallow
#

That sounds like such a hassle

thorny sinew
#

And they look like this

woven swallow
#

Even thinking about doing all the story, aether currents, and unlocks on another character makes me feel nauseous

gritty oracle
#

The yellow ones are only good for selling to vendors or the restoration chick

stiff cradle
#

Sorry if this is throwing place to ask. I'm looking to try to find a group or some friends to maybe start playing. I'm interested in it and I played it once or twice before but I can never find any friends.

gritty oracle
#

Heck I need to max out my restoration today before reset

thorny sinew
#

I just buy vendor gear of the proper levelrange and desynth it if I need something specific, otherwise I get plenty just from breaking down gear I get in dungeons that I don't turn into seals

gritty oracle
gloomy mortar
#

Restoration? What is that

stiff cradle
#

@ask me abt my Garlean au (Vie) thanks

gritty oracle
#

It's ugh, Stormblood spoilers. You help restore a ruined location by donating items to a girl. Girl gives you back gratuity, which is slightly higher than vendor price

thorny sinew
#

Yep, there are avenues to find folks to hang out with

gritty oracle
#

You can donate 20k Gil worth of stuff every week

gloomy mortar
#

Clear Demateria is best fir Doman Restoration 💡

gritty oracle
#

Or allagan pieces

thorny sinew
#

Yep. Double up that money once a week

gritty oracle
#

I also donate a lot of trash materia I get from maps, or gardening trash

#

I also have a bank of planiclusters to turn to grade 7 materia for turn-in

Guys, for tank mains here a question: Whenever I am trying to big pull groups of enemies, should I mostly spam Syphon to get and hold aggro for everyone?

#

Because, I am doing just that and holding aggro well, but, what if my party expects me to seriously dpsing them with other skills?

#

DRK-

slate arrow
#

if you're pulling groups just spam unleash

flat yew
#

should I take slaying or fending accessories for DNC?

slate arrow
#

Neither

#

Aiming is what you want

leaden ginkgo
#

OH OMG LMAO

#

I meant unleash

#

sorry

#

Unleash

#

I am spamming Unleash

slate arrow
#

Yeah it's all good

#

DRK doesn't get much fun buttons for packs until 72 due to the lack of MP regen

flat yew
#

ah okay, guess I'll just pick the gil for that quest then. thanks!

left moth
#

Tank aoe dps tends to be kinda blah until later on. Better arms legnth so healer can help in dps also (with the usual cd rotation)

leaden ginkgo
#

Industrial, does PLD have a similar AoE skill to DRK so I can spam that too, or is it way more technical/hard to play?

#

I can't play healer in this game.

slate arrow
#

PLD is basically the same AoE wise

leaden ginkgo
#

And with my controller. I know the buttons and everything but it's too much anxiety.

slate arrow

except you get your second step at 35

leaden ginkgo
#

oh

#

Yeah nah DRK really got the short end of the stick for leveling

Pld has spin to win and circle of scorn (aoe dot) but nothing unique until requi and holy circle

Maybe one day I will try healer but with keyboard settings/different ui layout

Blu is...unique. Can't be used in normal roulettes

leaden ginkgo
#

oh....

#

that's why i never saw anyone, basically.

thorny sinew
#

Like Industrial said, DRK is the tank job that just feels like crap compared to the others until you're 70+. Then you're like "Oh, this is nifty"

leaden ginkgo
#

And people calling it jobless job.

slate arrow
#

it's because of the fact you only get one skill naturally, mainly

#

Everything else you have to learn via killing mobs

leaden ginkgo
#

oh..

woven swallow
#

You have to go out there and manually learn all the spells by seeing mobs use certain skills then killing them

leaden ginkgo
#

So, PLD has AoE's like DRK and is also easy?

slate arrow
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

I like tanking.

#

And in this game it's so good.

slate arrow
#

All the tanks have the same basics

#

They just have different burst phases

leaden ginkgo
#

!status famfrit

thorny sinew
#

The only tank that doesn't have a fully circle aoe spam is Warrior. The opening part of the combo is a cone. But all the tanks have the same basic concept.

leaden ginkgo
#

fuck famfrit ffs

flat yew
#

what can you use blue mage for then?

slate arrow
woven swallow
#

It's made relic grinding a lot easier for people

plain python
#

blue's unique skill system makes it unable to be available to latest contents without breaking the game's balance. So they make blue unable to join current end-game contents, and are always 10 level behind.

Overpower gives me big boi depression when I see PLD get a circular AoE at level fucking six

you get used to it

thorny sinew
#

Ehh, overpower is always a cone. That never changes. You'll get tempest at uh.. .40?

#

Yeah, it'll become reflex to use

slate arrow
#

plus, you should be targeting out of habit

Dark Knight's magic AoE is a straightline, lol 😄

Overpower makes me think about where my WAR is actually standing

twilit arch

no

slate arrow
#

no it's a circle

twilit arch
#

Drk's aoe is a circle

#

flood is an ogcd

dire prawn
#

DRK has the best AoE

#

Change my mind

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, the only thing that winds up being adjusted is when you hit Overpower. You have to start the swing on your run up, rather than while you're running through since it's not a circle.

Hey everyone, sorry if this is a commonly asked question but I'm having a hard time finding up to date information so I figured it best to ask here. I'm trying to decide on an EU Data Center to get started with the game, just wondered if anyone could give me some advice? Interested in raiding, dungeons, that sort of stuff.

remote lintel
#

any

#

dont pick shiva or moogle if you want a mostly english speaking world

wintry chasm
#

Yeah to be more specific

#

Moogle is unofficial French, Shiva is unofficial German

#

Aside from that but of information I'd pick a preferred server since they get a super cool bonus. You get a buff called "road to 70" that gives you double XP from all sources up to level 70 and generally lasts 90 says Velot

@twilit arch hey , how does SSS work

or what does it mean if i can beat a stage

#

how do i share that with others

twilit arch
#

realistically? nothing

#

!faq SSS

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS
  1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
  2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
  3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
  4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
  5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
  6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
  7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
remote lintel
#

SSS isnt great for measuring dmg

twilit arch
#

like its ok to use to practice your rotation

#

but for anything else, not worth much

raven burrow
#

great ,means if im able to beat umbra savage with 15 secs left its meaningless for me as a console player cause idk shit about my dps

dire prawn
#

Damn Yen

twilit arch
#

for the most part, you should just try doing the fight

dire prawn
#

I have a question

remote lintel
#

if you can do your rotation well then you should be doing fine dmg assuming youre not like undergeared or something

raven burrow
#

u mean the actual encounter ?

twilit arch
#

the problem with SSS is that patchwerk's don't really give you a good idea of how well you'll do in the fight itself

#

because there's no mechanics in SSS

dire prawn
#

Can I use the MB to look for items at a specific level range?

remote lintel
#

yes

raven burrow
#

yeah true

remote lintel
#

well

#

below a certain level

twilit arch
#

just go and doing the fight itself and seeing it for yourself is going to ultimately be better learning

dire prawn
twilit arch
#

either find a learning party, or start your own

#

yes, you can

remote lintel
#

you can set the max lvl of gear you want to see on the mb

leaden ginkgo
#

so I just finished arr and am working on the stuff before hw, should I be doing all the level 50 blue quests?

raven burrow
#

hmm okay ty

warped seal
#

You can set the max level of gear, and it will display everything at that level and lower

dire prawn
#

Does it go off of the actual level of the item or is it the item level

remote lintel
#

equip level

dire prawn
#

So 1 - 80 then

remote lintel
#

if you set 80 as the max yes

dire prawn
#

So I could use MB to outfit my DRK if I went and picked it up since I have literally zero tank gear

twilit arch
#

main one to grab is the "legacy of allag" quests, as you'll need to do that questline at some point during post ARR, and the "the recurring problem" quest in the waking sand(which leads to the unlocks of hard modes for garuda/titan/ifrit) and complete those hard mode trials as they also are needed for post ARR. Rest of the blue quests are entirely up to you @leaden ginkgo

remote lintel
#

ehh

#

i would only use mb gear as a last resort

#

since it can be overpriced

thorny sinew
# dire prawn So 1 - 80 then

Yeah, but if you just want to see 30-40 gear, you can just set it to 40 and look at the top section. But honestly, if you have zero tank gear, just go to a vendor in a zone in your level range and buy it from them

#

It's literally what the Battlecraft merchants are for.

dire prawn
thorny sinew
#

Yes

remote lintel
#

all major cities do

twilit arch
#

the gear tho from ishgard is gonna be 50-60

thorny sinew
#

Should be in the uh... Jeweled Crozier area

dire prawn
#

Damn

#

So go to one of the ARR cities then

thorny sinew
#

Just gotta hit up your proper ranges merchant is all

twilit arch
#

1-50 gear is gonna be in gridania/ul'dah/limsa

dire prawn
#

That's what I'll do then

remote lintel
#

is the vendor gear better than the default gear when you unlock drk?

dire prawn
#

Battlecraft merchants would be in the market areas right

#

Cerberus

#

You literally get a weapon, chest piece and leg piece

#

That's it

twilit arch
#

yeah

thorny sinew

Yeah, vendor gear will cover the rest. Then you'll get all the free gear from leveling dungeons etc. No need to break the bank on the marketboard.

Poetics are always useful simply because of the vast amount of things that are done with them. For current gearing, that is getting the 485 relic, and respeccing the stats on the 515 relic. They are a catch all for all the old tomestone resources each expansion as well.

#

Have the quest, that's it

#

Yeah, the quest text is having it in your inventory when you turn it in so you can, you know, turn it in.

#

is new relic weapon worth it if you have edenmorn/augmented cryptlurker weapon? apparently it's only ilvl 515 or i might be wrong

thorny sinew
#

Once the final steps come out, yes.

#

Until then, savage weapons will be better

obsidian patio
#

Current step does not beat augmented crypt/edenmorn

#

It does beat all emerald weapons and some unaugmented crypt weapons depending on the secondary stats

quaint flicker
#

oh its still better than emerald then

obsidian patio
#

And for the crypt weapons it doesn’t beat it’s pretty comparable

quaint flicker
#

ok might farm for alt jobs then

#

thankies

thorny sinew
#

Honestly it's not a bad grind compared to previous weapons. I just keep a weapon locked at each stage for the quests so I soak up the items casually. It's 100% worth it.

quaint flicker
#

hmm i see that sounds promising, i just got turned off by bozja early on 😩

Hello, I don’t suppose there is a way to power level is there? I want to get a few level 80 jobs. So I have left random quests here and there for lower levels. Put apart from daily roulette is there anything else that can level me reasonably quick?

obsidian patio
#

Spamming the Highest level dungeon that’s not level 50/60/70 is basically the equivalent of power leveling for this game

steep vine
#

Right ok, thanks 🙂

obsidian patio
#

Also alternatives to dungeons like Palace of the Dead, Heaven on High, and the Bozja Southern Front

#

Ehh, other stuff is better for the super early levels (1-10 or 1-15)

steep vine
#

Never tried palace of the dead, nor heaven on high. One more thing, how do I begin hunts?

obsidian patio
#

Grand Company/Clan hunts can be unlocked once you hit 2nd Lieutenant in your grand company.

#

Not really a viable strategy if you already invested a lot of time/effort into a character

cursive abyss
#

This needs Pazuzu Feathers, right?

oak moth
#

I did some fates and noticed I didn't really get much loot or gold. What's a good way to build some gold early in?

open ember
#

You can buy Pazuzu feathers with crystals too

Near the entrance to anemos

Thank you

#

What's the desynth cap for individual classes, at the moment?

open ember
#

He should have it

twilit arch
#

should be 510

cursive abyss
twilit arch
#

basically whatever highest ilvl of gear can be desynthed is the desynth cap

open ember
#

Ah okay good. You need 3 feathers btw

earnest echo
#

510? Alright. Getting there, thanks

cursive abyss
#

Do I NEED to be ELvL 20 to go to Pagos?

open ember
#

Yep

twilit arch
#

no

open ember
#

Its part of the story

twilit arch
#

oh wait, right yse

#

20

#

i forget that max lvl for anemos is 25

#

but ideally...you want to be higher before you go to pagos, tbh

#

even with the changes, pagos is still...kind of shitty

open ember
#

Yeah pagos enemies hurt

#

Like a bitch

cursive abyss
#

Whats after pagos?

#

hydatos?

open ember
#

Pyros

cursive abyss
#

oh

open ember
#

Then Hydatos

leaden ginkgo

I assume I can't do that scrip, thing, right?

Or materia desynth?

@open ember Is Eureka worth it?

open ember
#

For?

cursive abyss
#

Mounts and Ozma Raid

open ember
#

If that is your goal, then yes

#

I personally enjoy Eureka for glams and mounts

#

But others are of a different opinion

pliant wind
#

When it comes to glamour

#

Anything is worth it

cursive abyss
open ember
#

Ehhhhh not really

obsidian patio
open ember
#

Eureka is far more punishing than Bozja

leaden ginkgo
#

Any free training dummies anywhere?

#

Or, I have to get a home for that?

#

I want to try out GNB skills

dire prawn
#

There's other places with them too but I forget their names

leaden ginkgo
#

tysm!!!!

dire prawn
#

Oh

#

I'm pretty sure Bentbranch Meadows has some too

#

Or at least somewhere in Central Shroud

#

Might be wrong though

#

But Summerford Farms has some for sure

leaden ginkgo
#

I have a feeling summerford is in middle

#

just saw in map

dire prawn
#

Oh it might be yeah

#

Ignore me I don't remember where everything is LUL

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks anyways so much for the info! I didn't know! lol

dire prawn
#

But yeah Summerford Farms

leaden ginkgo
#

oh don't worry...

#

i have the memory capacity of a goldfish

dire prawn
#

I asked the same question when I picked up SAM

leaden ginkgo
#

hahaah

#

I feel you, it is bad, isn't it?

#

Always forgetting stuff...

#

I am older before my time. 😔

marsh escarp
#

There's a couple all over ShB zones in khlousia too.

leaden ginkgo
#

DRK has no AoE enmity skill?

marsh escarp
#

Unleash is Drk's aoe skill

#

At lv 30 you get the 2nd aoe skill called Flood of Darkness

leaden ginkgo
#

So basically you use Grit, spam Flood of Darkness/Unleash, & use Stalwart Soul to restore MP for more Flood of Darkness spam when dealing with AoE pulls?

marsh escarp
#

Lv 30 rotation is using unleash and flood of darkness for aoe

#

Lv 80 rotation is using unleash + stalwart soul + flood + eventually building into quietus for blackblood

leaden ginkgo
#

Man...GNB feels almost identical to DRK for me, especially the way I put the skills. I wonder if PLD is going to be equally as fun with the skills.

#

It got jump, aoe, enmity, etc

#

really cool and flashy too.

marsh escarp
#

Technically, DRK has aoe enmity the easiest because they can use flood of darkness to instantly establish aggro on the go

pliant wind
#

Too bad pld cant dash until lvl 74

#

Why did they do that

leaden ginkgo
#

Is GNB too technical and hard to play?

#

I am starting to like it and I should stop if it's too technical lmao

pliant wind
#

No not really

leaden ginkgo
#

Sadly, just because it's flashy and beautiful, if it is hard it means it's not for me. 😔

#

oh.

frank wigeon
#

hey is there a squadron adventurer team composition guide with chemistry ?

marsh escarp
#

Dps jobs usually have a more difficult rotation than GNB

leaden ginkgo
#

oh...

#

My ping is so and so...I am from EU but playing NA

#

Usually I do not have much issue.

#

And with my new connection it is barely around, how much, 123

#

give or take

#

that's how much i am getting from other games in NA as well.

#

It's not perfect but it's decent and I can play.

marsh escarp
#

As long as you can weave an oGCD in a GCD you should be fine

#

It won't be ideal for double weaving but it's still playable

frank wigeon
#

hello! can i improve any of the chemistry status with this squadron?

#

or are these the best i can achieve

oak moth
#

Can you have max two food eaten or max two of every unique food eaten?

obsidian patio
#

Two of the same food stack

#

Eating a different food replaces the previous one

oak moth
#

Oh

obsidian patio
#

HQ and NQ of the same food are also considered different

oak moth
#

I do not understand this language

obsidian patio
#

High Quality and Normal Quality

oak moth
#

So I can have two normals and two highs?

obsidian patio
#

No.

#

Only one of the two.

oak moth
#

Understood.

leaden ginkgo
#

about how long does it take from post arr to starting hw, I want to get out of the slog lol

obsidian patio
#

Probably a week or so of casual play, depending on how fast you can read.

wintry chasm
#

^

#

Aside from first patch it's good stuff

#

and it literally sets up like, the entire rest of the game

obsidian patio
#

@frank wigeon you mean the things the chemistries give, or another thing?

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah I've been enjoying it so far, just anxious to get my teeth into the first expansion

wintry chasm
#

Really don't

marsh escarp
#

Don't rush or you'll burn yourself out

wintry chasm
#

Just stop thinking of the expansion

#

You're already calling something you are enjoying "a slog"

#

that ain't right

leaden ginkgo
#

shouldn't have called it a slog, just anxious to catch up before endwalker

marsh escarp
#

Don't

obsidian patio
#

You got more than enough time

#

We’re not expecting EW until like September or so

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, Endwalker is a long ways off

marsh escarp
#

It's not as if the endwalker expax is going away if you don't catch up anyway

thorny sinew
#

You've plenty of time to get there.

leaden ginkgo
#

that's true

serene dagger
#

I'm doing lvl 50 MSQs (there's a lot!) while I'm at lvl 58. Should I be doing anything else? Afraid I'm doing it wrong 😄

thorny sinew
#

Just make sure you're hitting up blue quests that unlock things along the way if you want them. But really, you're not doing anything wrong. You'll overlevel the MSQ easily these days, especially if you have the Road to 70 buff

wintry chasm
#

^

marsh escarp
#

Level up a secondary job if you have to

serene dagger
#

I do have the Road to 70. I don't think I'm missing anything from the blue quests. Thanks!

leaden ginkgo
#

Big Mentors, I need your answers

#

Which demimateria type i need for crystal sands?

little swift
#

You can go into your key items and open ulans scroll to see all the options

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh I don't have it yet

obsidian patio
#

This much for every 2 sands.

leaden ginkgo
#

just trying to "prefarm" sorta

#

oh ouch

#

hmmm

little swift
#

This is probably the least cost effective method

obsidian patio
#

Depending on prices and willingness extreme ARR primals can be cheaper

little swift
#

If you can solo arr extremes you could use that too

leaden ginkgo
#

a sum of demimateria + moon stones + poetic = maybe I can do this?

obsidian patio
#

You can solo all of them at 80 pretty fast

#

Moon stones are SUPER expensive if you try to get them through the grand company

little swift
#

Moonstone aren't worth
