can aymeric be found in-world at the current end of msq?
no
how do i get the Collector's Glove to gather collectible? I unlocked the scrip exchange
thanks, any clue what cutscene might have aymeric standing next to our WoL for comparison?
the one right before the vault probably
botanist and miner no longer have it, only fisher does @delicate field
he's not next to you but kinda close
any item that is intended to be a collectable will be gathered as such for bot/min
how do i gather collectible then? I guess im reading old guides
ty! i just want to do a height comparison
is there a faq command on here for collectible?
!faq dolcollect
whats the propper way/time to use sheltron (PLD)
tanks
cycle it with your other cds
should I use it just as another damage reduction or do I save it for big attacks or somethig
cycle it
@twilit arch that guide doesnt say where to find them?
dont save it
can someone give me their recrutement code
the nodes?>
nevermind i found one
need one for the feather?
ye
VUU9VAEB
👌
happy leveling!
thx
@silver dagger EC6H45F6
thx but already used udra's code
what are good things to trade for from grand company to make money?
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)
i see thanks
I'm confused about collectibles. do they spawn on every map randomly?
no
I found a Rarefied Dark Chestnut Sap at Tailfeather, when will another one be available?
the old relic items can be good money sometimes too @azure ivy
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)
https://www.ffxiv-gathering.com/30.php this one, right?
A Final Fantasy XIV Gathering Clock for tracking available node locations.
and then you only go for those that have something under "scrip"?
not sure which items those are
so what are all the other ones? just rare stuff?
@azure ivy Also try Smoked Bacon, and make HQ Bacon Broth; sells for ~1k each, sells quickly.
most of them are crafted materials/leve quest items
hi i want to add another hot bar to the side of the screen for mount pets etc is it possible ?
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

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

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
What am I missing
those are lvl 80
whats the difference between need and greed ive just been pressing buttons this whole time 
Are they higher lvl than you?
is your gear lvl 80
need > greed
I'm level 80
need takes priority over any greed rolls
Is the gear level 80
weathered dancer gear is lvl 80
Yeah, there's your problem
@leaden ginkgo can't glam higher ilv stuff over, I'm pretty sure
oh lv74 gear lmao yeah that explains it
You can glam level 50 i90 to look like level 50 i130
is there a way to tell when my doman enclave will be restored ? or atleast when i can unlock the junkmonger for glam ?
why is need greyed out seemingly at random times
basically by the achievements. You need Bio-doma II to unlock the junkmonger which is around 5weeks
Based on your job. If you can wear the item, you can need on it.
you can only need on gear you can use for the class/job you are @leaden ginkgo
got it okay
hm okay ty
Do I need the class unlocked to use a level skip?
no
so its what i thought it was, just wanted to make sure thank you
how does housing auto demo work?
if u haven't entered ur house at least once in 30 days it gets demolished?
yes, you have to enter the house atleast once every 45 days or else it will be demolished
is it 45 or 30
45
so on day 46, the house is completely gone
yes
Can the alex normal series be soloed at 80? ive been waiting half an hour for a party
I believe all of them can be
if ur a WAR, for sure
Dungeons will never be hardcore
none are hard if u know what you're doing. certain mechs might trip you up but they're not "hard" per se
it'll get harder once dungeons get insta death mechanics
Even then, it is only "hard" because you don't know how to solve mechanics
lol pretty much. you die oce or twice and then youre good
It is not gonna be hard in the sense that "I need to perform beyond my limit to clear this"
@twilit arch where do i find the achievement for the doman enclave ? im there and i see no achievements in the current area tab
should be in the character section
ah found it , yes character section
thanks
not really helping me tho , theres no progress bar 
just stage 2 3 4 etc reached

guess ill play the waiting game
Cutscene wise Castrum is shorter than Praetorium, but gameplay wise with good team on randoms, which one becomes faster?
castrum
Castrum spam it is, then.
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?
if someone in your party is doing it for the first time then you get the first time bonus
Ah...
Hunting log thing you mean?
if you mean the hunt log theyre best for 15 and below
^ it gets less worth while as you level up
and if youre waiting for queues i suppose
^ that too sure
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
oh
What is the quickest way to level from 70-80?
beast tribes, roulettes, highest level dungeon
Gotcha
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
should I do the
quests?
What's the requirement or MSQ to access Diadem?
yes except the ones that say leves or unlock classes you dont want
^
you do yes, but you can do the crafts alone
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
Is there a way to turn on sticky targeting so I don't deselect a target when I left click?
unlock things. Could be raids, optional dungeons and raids, emotes, beast tribes, systems and custom deliveries, hairdresser, etc etc, it's very varied and 90% useful
@remote lintel im doing one saying "leves", should i abandon it?
Ehhh
Not right away
unless its the one that unlocks leves sure
But yes it will
Or do it up to you, leves are useful to unlock for crafting and gathering but that's it
ah ok
There will be the buffer period like we had in 5.0
What are the new req?
Probably just upping the levels required to 90 for tank/healer/DPS
And the new role quests
Commendations too?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
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.
Mentor Req right now doesn't ask for dungeons, trials, or extremes
The roulette does, yes.
It just needs 1000 dungeons, 1500 comms, 80 healer/dps/tank role quest
Yeah but to become one I meant.
The raw "I just want my crown" icon will likely just up the reqs to 90 after the buffer period.
How do I get Wind-up Kan-E
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.
oh really?
yes
@dire prawn buy the “Wind-Up Leader” minion from Jonathas and be in the Twin Adders
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
It only ever picks the minion that your GC is from.
If I'm in the Maelstrom do I still go to Jonathas for Merlwyb?
They’re all the same minion
a bit curious, can people actually do HW on trials?
yes
oh
the trial lets you play HW
It's 100% just a matter of grinding poetics, as we told you yesterday. For Crystal Sand, you can circumvent the grind with GC seals (Moonstones) or just straight up dumping money into the marketboard for Demimateria etc.
30 days will be plenty of time
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.
Can Trials roulette pull from both the Hard and EX trials
are you 80?
Oh
None of the dungeons at 80 are hard for you unsynced Agios, promise.
Yes, I am lvl 80 DRK with Neo Ishgardian gear
So I won't get Ifrit EX oneshotting me with 25k damage then 😅
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.
Okay, thank you, I will believe you hardcore and put more faith in your words and get a sub and start working away.
Nah, you'll mostly just get Sephirot punching you off the platform in the roulette.
Not if I don't have Sephirot
I'm not far enough into HW that I've unlocked anything 
Well, any of the trials with edges really.
You shouldn't have any issue with the trial roulette nods
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
You'll unlock more as you go through HW.
But yes, Levi only drops the walls on Extreme.
Sorry for the ping, I read about demimateria thing and I got PLENTY of materias at IV and so on, actually, a way lot afaik. I think. Why do I need to desynthesize them? Are their desynths tradeable for crystal sands? Or, their desynth is crystal sand?
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.
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"
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.
I'll see what I can do, then, I got like 400k gil with me right now.
And just desynth them left and right. You'll get a bunch of rank 1's like that. Most of the rank 2's people sell on the marketboard (At least in Aether) at cost.
Trial roulette does give me poetics, right?
Thank you, Ali!
no
You'll get whatever the trial itself rewards, yes. No bonus though
Fuck
One message removed from a suspended account.
Is there even a point to this roulette then if I need poetics
One message removed from a suspended account.
Exp
I don't need exp right now
sorry for ask again but those
quests are making me asking myself if i should do them or not
-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.
can i skip them if i dont need their exp?
i mean they unlock content
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)
blue quests unlock things so you should do them
Don't feel bad about asking questions. The game is huge, there's a lot of info to keep track of.
the ones from leves that require activation are needed?
no
Why is Aetherochemical spam the best poetics
you dont need the ones that say leves
oh ok
because it gives 150 poetics and takes like 20 mins
so basically every one that dont have the duty challenge
oh
Well... you eventually will if you want to do the Zodiac weapons. But yeah, otherwise you can skip the level unlocks.
dont do the ones for classes that you dont want
Yeah, if you never want to play a Paladin, you can ignore the Gladiator line of quests etc.
@remote lintel how can I know? 😦
But if it's tied to dungeons/trials/etc, do them.
the ones that say "so you want to be ___" are classes
and they have the job stone/weapon in the rewards
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.
if you have flying in all shb areas just do hunt trains
Did aethero- first time yesterday, it went well, no one died, but still though, felt hard lol
Just start off a dungeon with "I'm still learning this" statements. You'll be fine.
At what point in the MSQ will I unlock Aethero for poetic farming
the end of HW
Fuck
Ah, I did and they were patient with me, in the end they even praised me, telling me I am a good tank because I knew where to place myself in to the bosses.
My anxiety lies on grouping enemies...
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.
new player bonus is best bonus
spam your aoe at 2+ enemies and youll be fine
Pull, unleash, unleash, unleash. You have aggro. Enjoy
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.
they got places to be or smth?
get good
move on tard
Sounds like reportable behavior to me
Feel free to blacklist and or report harassment.
you could also just kick them
See if they keep saying that when a GM drags them into the Gaol and gives them a 2 week ban 
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.
then report
If they are saying things like that, report them.
ok..
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.
So when you report someone, is the chat log recorded? Can they just deny saying it?
chat log is recorded
GM's have access to chat logs
Yes
what gears comes after shire ?
@remote lintel some quests are so far so idk if i should just skip
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
yes
like "where is the heart is"
mitigation is your friend
that unlocks the residential area teleport @covert berry
Tank Stance + AoE. You will hold aggro.
cycle your cds
should i stop doing main quest to do them?
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
And yeah, when we say "cycle your cooldowns" you use one, and when it runs out, you then use another.
Alright, thank you, all, again!!
i mean that quest takes like 5 mins
If it's a blue quest unrelated to the MSQ, it will not take you long to do.
You cannot get derailed in this game.
does this question belong here? is there any word on future graphical overhauls in terms of AA,
using reshade, and was wondering if there was any way of getting rid of jaggy
because it makes you travel to the residential area
How long is the chat log saved?
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.
probably ask in the gshade discord
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.
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
Have you meet people in the duty finder?
i wouldnt say not to use it without a macro
Would you be EXTREMELY pissed off at me if I told you I am not using that skill at all?
No, it's the worst death save in the game
-thank god...
Living dead doesn't really work without coordination from what I've seen in other duties
I was preparing to hear the worst.
healing really isnt that difficult
and you could just ask them how big of a pull they want
Meh maybe I just need to work on it more, I haven't worked on whm in a while, been focusing on DoH/DoL

its really hard to overwhelm a healer who knows what theyre doing
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
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.
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
then ask them
Yeah, I've been working on that
what quest
The travel point is usually right next to the quest unlock or close by
Just look at the map
ty
i love reading 🙂
btw i unlocked res area
is it unlocked to all characters or i need repeat the quest?
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
personally, I use 30 day entry
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?
Not sure, but the prices should be the same regardless of payment method. I think steam does have regional pricing?
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
where is the place where we can claim free level 70 equipment again? iirc its underwater in distant hut from the aetherite
yeah, i don't really plan on using multiple characters on each server, just 1 is more than enough
if you mean job gear the calamity salvager
It sounds like you’re thinking of the level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in the tempest.
iirc it looks like low level job gear but with higher stat
oh its 80, alright my bad
thanks
if you want the dyeable version you'll need to do the relic quest extreme trial
should I stop my story to do "old" hunting?
im lvl14 but still didnt do lvl3 hunting monsters
from hunting log
you dont need to
Nah, they’re not vital.
Alright, doing it, I will buy my first sub with steam wallet. I hope it works and I will be fine.
Make sure to get a RAF code
What's a raf code?
referral code
I did it and it got the money from my steam and the status says active
!faq raf
gives you digital items when you sub
ok, i will focus on main and
quests then
recruit a friend
someone has to give you their code
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?
More like get recruited in your case
Again, you can't get stuck in XIV. You can always double back to finish things as you need.
8 characters per world
and no
but they are required finish?
The game really respects the casual player aspect.
people dont use 40 characters
^
The hunting logs? You get a level 50 ring if you do all of them.
That's it.
Alright, I will try to log in, wish me luck, everyone.
Also iirc some logs are required for a GC rank up
The exp for leveling that class can be nice, but it's not something you need to stress about.
those are separate
@thorny sinew is the ring worth?
Yeah, that's the GC one though.
GC logs are their own thing
meh i may skip it
Eh... used to be decent starter gear. But these days you get handed so much stuff...
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
1 character per world, 8 max characters per world. What does that mean?
One character on Cactuar, one character on Jenova, etc.
I can play for 30 days now!
8 max characters across the account itself
You cannot have more than one character per world server, and 8 characters total
btw, guys, should I click this yellow thing?
I don't really get it.
-even though it explains it
So you could have 1 character on 8 servers.
it just puts you in the novice network really
is it bad?
If it says "accept free stuff" then click it
You should hit yes.
With the questions you've asked. Plus it will give you a little returner flower icon.
-any chance won't want to play with me if i am put in novice?
Which will help random folks see that you've just come back.
no
No
ok
you get the flower regardless iirc
Npnp. Tbh I recommend joining NN, even if only for the company.
It's a handy chat server (most of the time). We try and answer questions there for folks, just like here.
The actual teaching aspect of the channel can be... Subpar, depending on server and time of day
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!
What’s the difference between world and server? And how can you simultaneously have 8 characters when only 1 character is allowed per world
Maybe, one day, we may even play together.
I'm a mentor on Cactuar, yes.
world and server are interchangeable
I'm looking forward to that.
World = server
oh....
A World is a server
Data Center = Cluster of servers
you can have 1 character per world with a total of 8 character
I forgot, yeah...
so you can make 1 character on 8 different worlds
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
So one character on Ultros, one on Famfrit, etc?
^ 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.
And yes, that's happened to me
yes @gloomy mortar
Yes.
Or even shitposting about spoilers, although I try to keep the channel spoiler-free when I'm on
I personally only have the one character, so I use the cheaper sub and just pay for an extra retainer.
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
oh sorry!@
Yep, it's just a character amount limitation.
That's nice to have
For a game that lets you do everything on one character, it's wonderful.
That inventory management though, phew. Good thing you can have 2 retainers (didn't find that out until recently either)
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
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
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.
People in my FC use the standard sub to create alts to hold overflowing inventory, also to sell stuff.
Yeah, but having to mail everything back and forth is just... ugh
Yeah, I took advantage of the extra favorite location almost immediately
Are these the ones I can desynthesize?
They get around the mailing by having their alt join the FC, then you can just use the FC chest
That sounds like such a hassle
Demimateria comes from equipment. Not other materia.
And they look like this
Even thinking about doing all the story, aether currents, and unlocks on another character makes me feel nauseous
The yellow ones are only good for selling to vendors or the restoration chick
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.
Heck I need to max out my restoration today before reset
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
I recommend joining a Free Company, or finding friends through the Novice Network.
Restoration? What is that
@ask me abt my Garlean au (Vie) thanks
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
Yep, there are avenues to find folks to hang out with
You can donate 20k Gil worth of stuff every week
Clear Demateria is best fir Doman Restoration 💡
Or allagan pieces
Yep. Double up that money once a week
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
People still grind out Zodiac weapons, so it might be worth listing the lower materia on the marketboard etc.
I don't extract low tier materia because I constantly struggle with inventory space as it is
!status famfrit
what happen to my decoration when I relocate to another plot?
all of your furniture gets placed into the house's storage room when you relocate
After relocating everything goes in storage. If have customized the house walls (say, small carby walls) and get a medium, the walls will auto upgrade to the new size
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-
if you're pulling groups just spam unleash
should I take slaying or fending accessories for DNC?
Yeah it's all good
DRK doesn't get much fun buttons for packs until 72 due to the lack of MP regen
ah okay, guess I'll just pick the gil for that quest then. thanks!
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)
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.
PLD is basically the same AoE wise
And with my controller. I know the buttons and everything but it's too much anxiety.
except you get your second step at 35
oh
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
Tried Astrologian, too hard.

I really like my DRK
just play SCH and pretend you're a healer. have the fairy do the heavy lifting and spam broil /s
you can't use blue mage as a main job
Blu is...unique. Can't be used in normal roulettes
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"
And people calling it jobless job.
it's because of the fact you only get one skill naturally, mainly
Everything else you have to learn via killing mobs
oh..
You have to go out there and manually learn all the spells by seeing mobs use certain skills then killing them
So, PLD has AoE's like DRK and is also easy?
yes
!status famfrit
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.
fuck famfrit ffs
what can you use blue mage for then?
Please use #kupo-bot-spam
It's made relic grinding a lot easier for people
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.
Does WAR get a circular AoE later
i am screweed
Carnivale, Blue Log, Fun. Etc.
Yes, the cone combos into a circle
Blue Mage content, content below 70 for ez Speedruns, grinding old synced content
War aoe is a little more annoying to start (frontal cone first skill) but eventually becomes the same as the rest
blue is like a side content. You collect spells and do monster arena challenges
Also Decimate/Cyclone are circles, but that's a guage skill
Omg I hate e7 with a burning passion
ahh
Overpower gives me big boi depression when I see PLD get a circular AoE at level fucking six
you get used to it
Ehh, overpower is always a cone. That never changes. You'll get tempest at uh.. .40?
Yeah, it'll become reflex to use
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
no
no it's a circle
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.
Dark spikes for days
What I normally do is throw Tomahawk at max range, then Overpower as I'm running through them to hit the mobs
use the rage regen buff, do an AoE
I picked up DRK solely cause I heard the story's really good and I need a tank class but I actually like playing it
I'm questioning whether or not I want to pick up DRK
For no other reason than I have absolutely zero tank gear
The 30-50 story threw me for a loop
DRK story is written by ShB writer I think?
fishing has the best story quests /s
Yeah it is
How do I get the Eureka Tracker for my current instance?
this is getting a bit more discussion-y than qnh
you start your own on the tracker site, if no one answers your shout
All the tracker site does is track the respawn timer that's manually triggered by whoever owns the current instance tracker on the website
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.
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
Is there a way to buy Materia I/IIs? (In Trial)
What time is the USA reset?
!daily
what should i do with unwated equipment ? sell ?
I figured I'd pick Spriggan or Twintania since they're both preferred.
how do i unlock stone sky sea umbra savage ? or which one can i do to compare?
or is there a different npc for 5.x stuff , all i see is lv 60 content
use whatever the right click equivalent is
@leaden ginkgo square
and click add to hotbar
I think I just saw a normal monster fighting a chocobo, with no player close, is that possible?
ah thanks
Yeah possible, maybe the chocobo got into a fight and the player fucked off lol
lol
@glacial isle you can get material I/II for crafting/gathering from ixal trade. If you want combat ones, either spiritbonding or get crafting/gathering materia and combine them, hoping that it will pop out the one you want.
Fantastic and the ARR Relic only accepts Combat ones
it will take a long while to amass enough combat ones if you don't have the habit of keeping low level materia
!status famfrit
#kupo-bot-spam
fuck famfrit
or just enter the sub and buy them of market. I recommend using unpopular materia like tenacity and piety cuz they are dirt cheap. You don't use the relic for anything save glam anyway
It's gonna be two more hours before Famfrit opens up my guy
can't buy
that why I said you enter sub
I know.
@dire prawn 2 MORE HOURS
ur wrong
i stayed up to 5am last night
and it was closed
LOL
Last night
Because it was a weekend

ok then that's a player who left their chocobo behind xd
It's not a major city so yep
@leaden ginkgo stop using this channel to vent in
and more importantly use #kupo-bot-spam
they are spamming it in bot spam
im fucking angry
Don't make Kaelwryn exercise their limited mod powers
gonna go email SE a nice long fucking letter make server cap bigger
haha, watching the replay, When I was arriving and this was behind a wall, there appeared the icon of a DRG action, so maybe it died
they wont make the server cap bigger
!mute 564872830135566386 1h
It saves me the trouble of beating y'all myself
lmao
it says so in the about channel

@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
- SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
- 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
- Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
- Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
- SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
- 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
- Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
SSS isnt great for measuring dmg
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

Damn Yen
for the most part, you should just try doing the fight
I have a question
if you can do your rotation well then you should be doing fine dmg assuming youre not like undergeared or something
u mean the actual encounter ?
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
Can I use the MB to look for items at a specific level range?
yes
yeah true
just go and doing the fight itself and seeing it for yourself is going to ultimately be better learning

you can set the max lvl of gear you want to see on the mb
so I just finished arr and am working on the stuff before hw, should I be doing all the level 50 blue quests?
hmm okay ty
You can set the max level of gear, and it will display everything at that level and lower
Does it go off of the actual level of the item or is it the item level
equip level
So 1 - 80 then
if you set 80 as the max yes

So I could use MB to outfit my DRK if I went and picked it up since I have literally zero tank gear
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
thanks
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.
Does Ishgard have Battlecraft merchants
Yes
all major cities do
the gear tho from ishgard is gonna be 50-60
Should be in the uh... Jeweled Crozier area
Just gotta hit up your proper ranges merchant is all
1-50 gear is gonna be in gridania/ul'dah/limsa
That's what I'll do then
is the vendor gear better than the default gear when you unlock drk?
Battlecraft merchants would be in the market areas right
Cerberus
You literally get a weapon, chest piece and leg piece
That's it
yeah
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.
HW jobs were given basically fuck all in terms of gear at unlock :d
It's not like the SB/ShB expac jobs where you get full left-side gear
wild
HW was still a learning experience for SE
I thought I was gonna get cool armor for lv 50 drk. Turns out the cool stuff doesn't come until 60 and I got some goofy ass armor for the 50 job quest
lmao
Does suisui dungeon not provide poetics anymore
I did a run and didn't get any
It was sync
shisui?
Violet tides?
cos that's never given poetics
That's a leveling dungeon, no tomes
Ya
its a leveling dungeon
Dam someone told me it gives 120 poetics per run :(
Tomes are from cap stuff, 50/60/70/80

Is there any use for Poetics when you hit 80 or is that when the other two tomestones come into play
sounds like they were talking about ARF?
I c
which is aetherochemical research facility and it gives 150
I'll do ARF then
buy the first relic step
poetic can be used to exchange ilv485 reisstance weapon
after your free one
also
the latest poetics is used to get tome gear
no
poetics arent for lvl 80 gear
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
Current step does not beat augmented crypt/edenmorn
It does beat all emerald weapons and some unaugmented crypt weapons depending on the secondary stats
oh its still better than emerald then
And for the crypt weapons it doesn’t beat it’s pretty comparable
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.
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?
Spamming the Highest level dungeon that’s not level 50/60/70 is basically the equivalent of power leveling for this game
Right ok, thanks 🙂
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)
Never tried palace of the dead, nor heaven on high. One more thing, how do I begin hunts?
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
This needs Pazuzu Feathers, right?
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?
Should be yes
You can buy Pazuzu feathers with crystals too
From who?
Birdwatcher
Thank you
What's the desynth cap for individual classes, at the moment?
should be 510
He does
basically whatever highest ilvl of gear can be desynthed is the desynth cap
Ah okay good. You need 3 feathers btw
510? Alright. Getting there, thanks
Do I NEED to be ELvL 20 to go to Pagos?
Yep
no
Its part of the story
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
Pyros
oh
Then Hydatos
So close...

@open ember Is Eureka worth it?
For?
Mounts and Ozma Raid
If that is your goal, then yes
I personally enjoy Eureka for glams and mounts
But others are of a different opinion
Will playing all the way through Eureka prep me for Bozja?
Ehhhhh not really
Need level 50 crafter or gatherer to start earning scrips
Eureka is far more punishing than Bozja
Any free training dummies anywhere?
Or, I have to get a home for that?
I want to try out GNB skills
Summerford Farms, Western La Noscea
There's other places with them too but I forget their names
tysm!!!!
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
thanks anyways so much for the info! I didn't know! lol
But yeah Summerford Farms
I asked the same question when I picked up SAM
hahaah
I feel you, it is bad, isn't it?
Always forgetting stuff...
I am older before my time. 😔
There's a couple all over ShB zones in khlousia too.
DRK has no AoE enmity skill?
Unleash is Drk's aoe skill
At lv 30 you get the 2nd aoe skill called Flood of Darkness
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?
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
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.
Technically, DRK has aoe enmity the easiest because they can use flood of darkness to instantly establish aggro on the go
Is GNB too technical and hard to play?
I am starting to like it and I should stop if it's too technical lmao
No not really
Sadly, just because it's flashy and beautiful, if it is hard it means it's not for me. 😔
oh.
hey is there a squadron adventurer team composition guide with chemistry ?
Dps jobs usually have a more difficult rotation than GNB
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.
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
hello! can i improve any of the chemistry status with this squadron?
or are these the best i can achieve
Can you have max two food eaten or max two of every unique food eaten?
Oh
HQ and NQ of the same food are also considered different
I do not understand this language
High Quality and Normal Quality
So I can have two normals and two highs?
Understood.
about how long does it take from post arr to starting hw, I want to get out of the slog lol
Probably a week or so of casual play, depending on how fast you can read.
^
Aside from first patch it's good stuff
and it literally sets up like, the entire rest of the game
@frank wigeon you mean the things the chemistries give, or another thing?
yeah I've been enjoying it so far, just anxious to get my teeth into the first expansion
Really don't
Don't rush or you'll burn yourself out
Just stop thinking of the expansion
You're already calling something you are enjoying "a slog"
that ain't right
shouldn't have called it a slog, just anxious to catch up before endwalker
Don't
Yeah, Endwalker is a long ways off
It's not as if the endwalker expax is going away if you don't catch up anyway
You've plenty of time to get there.
that's true
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 😄
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
^
Level up a secondary job if you have to
I do have the Road to 70. I don't think I'm missing anything from the blue quests. Thanks!
Big Mentors, I need your answers
Which demimateria type i need for crystal sands?
You can go into your key items and open ulans scroll to see all the options
Oh I don't have it yet
This much for every 2 sands.
This is probably the least cost effective method
Depending on prices and willingness extreme ARR primals can be cheaper
If you can solo arr extremes you could use that too
a sum of demimateria + moon stones + poetic = maybe I can do this?
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
Moonstone aren't worth
