questions-and-help

[deep gyro]

i thought you can desynth with any job, the job specification is just for the job that you gain desynth exp on no?

[azure ivy]

Is sand useful

[twilit arch]

no

[warm iron]

hi, quick question here. was doing the odin fight for the first time, and kept tying to holmgang his sangental one-shot

[dark copper]

you gain desynth points when you desynth an item for that job

[warm iron]

however, the ability went on cd but there were no chains

[dark copper]

more desynth points will have a higher chance of getting you better rewards on the next desynthesis

[deep gyro]

your original statement sounded like you need to be on that job to be able to desynth the item

[dark copper]

yes you do

[deep gyro]

are you sure?

[twilit arch]

you don't need to be as that job to desynth

[azure ivy]

I was trying to unlock Ixal beast tribe, but Scarlet doesn't give me the quest to start it? I've beaten ShB and have at least a lvl 60 DoH/DoL

[dark copper]

only crafter classes that can repair the specific item can desynthesize it

[twilit arch]

you need to have the appropriate crafter leveled to desynth it

[dark copper]

oh my bad, i didn't understand the question

[deep gyro]

[dark copper]

you dont need to be on that job

[deep gyro]

yeah that's what i meant

[dark copper]

you just need to have it unlocked

[flat yew]

IIRC you can get some beach glam from rare ARR fish when desynth'd

[deep gyro]

i think maybe i understood your original statement wrong, but that's what i thought you were implying

[dark copper]

no, sorry if i wasn't clear

[flat yew]

But I don't think they continued that trend into the other expansions

[twilit arch]

are you certain you didn't already pick up the quest/are you on doh @azure ivy

[azure ivy]

Yeah, I've checked my completed quest log and reputation under ARR and tried switching to DoH/DoL classes

Or maybe I did do it and didn't proceed further with the quest chain in the Ixal zone.. I will double check thanks

[forest sphinx]

Are the Skysteel Tools worth pursuing?

[twilit arch]

cos "Bad bladder" itself doesn't unlock ixali, the second quest "reaching for cloud nine" does

[dark copper]

They are shiny, glowy tools, if that's what you are after

otherwise the Aesthete tools are better

[forest sphinx]

I see

[deep gyro]

if you have the materia/gil to buy materia to meld them properly

[azure ivy]

Will go look in the zone for that quest thanks

[raven burrow]

anyone recognize the hat ?

[pulsar escarp]

this should legit be impossible, I'm in europe

unless it's not? what's going on

[deep gyro]

lmao

wtf

[twilit arch]

Server time is GM+0

[raven burrow]

[pulsar escarp]

ah! is it

[terse roost]

Can confirm on the Desynth, half the time I Desynth I'm not even a DoL/DoH, I'm still a combat class.

[deep gyro]

i always thought ST is the time that the server is located in

TIL

[twilit arch]

newp

[deep gyro]

Total Play Time: 489 days, 2 hours, 9 minutes

took me that long

[pulsar escarp]

then I guess if I wanna know what diabolos players time usually is I gotta get up america world clock?

[dark copper]

No server time is not local time

[flat yew]

It is much easier to synchronise things on different servers when they all run with the same clock, and GMT is a sensible default

[pulsar escarp]

yeah so my local time just happens to be... GMT

wild

[deep gyro]

yeah i know its not local time but i thought it was the time where the server is physically located

[dark copper]

well GMT is time in the UK, so it's not surprising

[deep gyro]

you can add extra clocks with different time zones in windows which is what i do

[terse roost]

As a US based insomniac, most of Diabolos seems to be on US Time. I've run into a bunch of Euro's however

[pulsar escarp]

yeah, where in US exactly?

[dark copper]

it's just English-speaking Europeans who want to get away from the French

[pulsar escarp]

I could probably just memorise the time difference

[pulsar escarp]

pretty much ngl

[flat yew]

Or us Germans, for that matter

[pulsar escarp]

nothing against french/german I just can't speak it very well

[deep gyro]

[terse roost]

The where varies, I see ET through PT

[pulsar escarp]

so does anyone know rough average time for diabolos?

[dark copper]

French players have a known reputation for being toxic, especially the Moogle world, which is the unofficial French world.

I'm not aware of any reputation among German speakers

Or maybe because Germans just by default speak English in FFXIV so I never know they are German

[deep gyro]

they usually have D highlighted

[dark copper]

only other language I've seen in the chat log is French

[deep gyro]

i assume it's because you're in NA and there are french speaking canadians

but you're right, even in EU there's a lot more french than german

in party chat etc

[flat yew]

Pretty sure most Germans are on Shiva

[deep gyro]

i wouldn't say "most"

i think it has the largest german population, but not over 50% of all german players

[flat yew]

Ah

[deep gyro]

in fact it's pretty evenly spread

[dark copper]

Also most Germans I've met online were pretty fluent in English, I wouldn't know they were German unless they told me or had an accent on VC

[pulsar escarp]

so wai tjust to clarify if I wanted to know diabolos server time for americans it would probably just be.... american time? east coast?

[deep gyro]

i've definitely seen more french people in chaos who struggled with english than germans

100%

[open ember]

Diabolos is just an american server but I don't believe it matters if its east or west coast

[pulsar escarp]

nice

note to self: 'just not gmt'

[open ember]

I don't know if its ever been establishd where its located

[dark copper]

All the NA servers are located on the west coast, btw

[open ember]

Oh okay

[pulsar escarp]

oh what do you know

[open ember]

I just go by "its american time" and that's all

[twilit arch]

ye all of NA is in cali

[flat yew]

around GMT-5 to GMT-7 I think?

[dark copper]

Anyway I've noticed at around midnight EST is when the NA server population start to dwindle, so I think there more east coast than west coast FFXIV players

prime time is 7-11 pm EST, based on my experience, which in the crystal DC

[dark copper]

I think it's probably easier for Germans to pick up English, since they are more closely related languages. Anyways I guess we are headed towards #general-discussion territory here

[flat yew]

Does Spriggan have some reputation like this too? Did I accidentally run into the spanish homeland or something?

[faint flare]

No

Only moogle and shiva are the main Non English servers

[flat yew]

ah that's nice

[marsh totem]

How exactly does the pricing work for FFXIV? £10 for base game, then its a reoccurring subscription fee of £7.69?

[dark copper]

which datacenter is spriggan on? as far as I'm aware, the largest spanish populations are on North American servers

[deep gyro]

chaos

[faint flare]

$60 for everything then pay sub after that

Price conversation applicable

[remote lintel]

you need to buy the base game which gives you 30 free days, plus the dlc, and then the sub to play

[deep gyro]

there is a large spanish speaking population in the nation of spain which is located in europe

[dark copper]

I am aware yes

was Spriggan added recently?

[deep gyro]

i was just being cheeky :p

yes

it was

[faint flare]

Base game only gives you half the game, you need Shadowbringers ontop of it for full access

[marsh totem]

ya

ty

[flat yew]

is stormblood part of the base game now?

[twilit arch]

no

[open ember]

No

Shadowbringers

[twilit arch]

it comes with shadowbringers

[flat yew]

ah

[deep gyro]

i think spriggan was added when they split the chaos data centre into light and chaos

[open ember]

Starter is : A Realm Reborn + Heavensward
Shadowbringers: Stormblood + Shadowbringers

[twilit arch]

ye

spriggan and twintania were both added with the dc split

[dark copper]

ah, explains why I couldn't find much information about it in google

[twilit arch]

er actually shortly after the dc split

[leaden ginkgo]

How many of you still do the full daily roulette and why? 👀

[dark copper]

Gil

i get over 100,000 from doing my dailies

[remote lintel]

i dont

because it takes forever

[dark copper]

well slight correction, i do everything except MSQ and frontlines roulette

[flat yew]

I mostly did mine for the poetics gear

[leaden ginkgo]

Gil for glamour or gear? Gil doesn’t have much value later on right?

Aside from food I guess

[dark copper]

i primarily play tank so it is quick/easy and generally a braindead activity (except in the rare trial or level 50/60 dungeon where the players dont know the mechanics)

[faint flare]

Only if you're lazy

[flat yew]

well you can quickly level DoH if you invest enough gil

[quasi spire]

What do I do with excess mats for Namazu gathering quests?

[faint flare]

Gil is the lazy man way to do things

[dark copper]

primarily for glamour

[deep gyro]

i don't do any roulettes anymore :(

[open ember]

Its fine having little gil just have at least like 100k or something

Don't be like. At 0 gil

Gotta pay for those teleports

[dark copper]

also it's nice just to be partied with newer people and get 3 comms at the end of the dungeon

especially in bardam

[deep gyro]

you also need gil to buy materia for new gear or new raid gear if u want to do week 1 savage prog

[leaden ginkgo]

I do roulettes for said reasons: Glamour > Materia > Food

[terse roost]

I don't do roulettes because I've got so many other projects atm. Spending a lot of time in Castrum/DR for Relics.

[quasi spire]

same I only do levelling roulette rn

[quasi spire]

Pls respond

[deep gyro]

nothing

[eager widget]

you can always list them for gil

[dark copper]

if you are too lazy to do crafting, or don't want the hassle of cross-world MB arbitrage to make money, roulettes are a quick and braindead way of making money

[deep gyro]

throw it out

[twilit arch]

they're untradeable

[deep gyro]

i dont think they are tradeable

[quasi spire]

they're market prohibited

[twilit arch]

so nothing really can do with them, but toss em

[deep gyro]

throw it out

[twilit arch]

unless you want to hold them for later dailies for w/e reason

[deep gyro]

or keep them in saddle bag and do namazu daily quest in 2 seconds if it matches what you have left

[dark copper]

also I have to add that leveling roulettes give GC seals which is useful to buy retainer ventures

as well as glamour prisms which u can sell on the MB

[remote lintel]

gc seals are easy to get

[quasi spire]

I find that raziqsand sells better

[dark copper]

at level 80, u get around 4k GC seals for each leveling roulette, which on average, take 15 minutes

as well as 25k gil

[deep gyro]

plus around 1.8k gc seals for every item drop you roll on

[dark copper]

really dont know of a faster way to accrue both gil and GC seals at the same time

[deep gyro]

probably more

[remote lintel]

turn in gear for seals

[open ember]

"Expert delivery"

The higher level the item, the more seals you get

[dark copper]

I mean u get gear to turn in to GC with leveling roulette

[open ember]

Yes

Which is why I just roll on everything

[dark copper]

so 4k GC is the bare minimum u can get

most often u can net 10k GC per leveling roulette

if you roll on everything

[remote lintel]

i usually have a shit ton of gear from my retainer ventures so i just dump all those and cap

[gusty storm]

what classes should I make my retainers

[little swift]

people typically go one miner/botanist and one combat class

[dark copper]

whichever one you need more items of

if you need crafting mats, make one DoL job

if you dont care for crafting, make them DoW

[little swift]

covers all the bases for gathering a decent amount of materials

[quasi spire]

remember that they're capped to your level in whichever job you pick

[deep gyro]

i have one miner, one botanist and 2 dow/dom

make one of the dow/dom your main class so you can give it handmedowns

[leaden ginkgo]

if that is devaluing

in 3:46

will it have a time to actually sell before that happens

[dark copper]

no

[river valley]

Will be sold in a matter of minutes

[dark copper]

the invisible timer for purchase is separate from devaluation timer

[lime jewel]

what should i buy with my company seals?

[river valley]

Wait, I read that wrong, nevermind >_>

[dark copper]

there is no way to know when the plot will become available for purchase, unfortunately

[dark copper]

depends on what sells well in your world. Generally I am lazy and just buy glamour prisms

[remote lintel]

ventures

[dark copper]

since they usually go for 300 in my world

[deep gyro]

retainer ventures

thats what i get

it really depends on what you need

i need a tonne of ventures

[jade lava]

whats the best way to level gatherers now? i've seen people say collectables but apparently that system changed. I'm level 51 and i've just got here from leves so far

[dark copper]

levequests

[twilit arch]

collectables is still worth it

[zinc orbit]

[twilit arch]

collectables while doing leves between nodes is pretty good way to level

[quasi spire]

supplement whatever you're doing with namazu / qitari beast tribes

[twilit arch]

if you want to be lazy and have restoration unlocked, can do diadem

namazu when 60-70, qitari 70-80 are also good dailies to do

[jade lava]

where can i actually find unspoiled nodes that let me do collectables? i saw one website say i could so old world figs but they aren't collectables anymore

[twilit arch]

The gathering collectables are in their own tab in the gathering log

but basically look for stuff called "Rarefied X"

[jade lava]

ah okay ty

is there any updated websites with the timers btw?

oh its in the log

[slate arrow]

all the big websites have been updated

Teamcraft and gardlond bell

[jade lava]

ill check out teamcraft, ty

[void vigil]

What is the easiest way to try multiple classes at high levels?

[heavy wadi]

there isn't any sort of "class trial system" like wow, if that's what you're asking

[void vigil]

how can i make sure im picking the class i like most haha

[quasi spire]

Watch youtube vids. also you can switch anytime

[heavy wadi]

^

you can level every class on one chara

not too much dedication to leveling them

[void vigil]

You can switch any time, but you dont really know how a class plays til max level

[deep gyro]

probably best to watch videos of whatever content you enjoy the most

[dark copper]

palace of the dead floor 51+, you are instantly synced to level 60 with all the skills for that level

[void vigil]

Is melee clunky in this game?

[quasi spire]

I do wish they add a stone sky sea version for trialing classes

[deep gyro]

and bozja for 71+ for the same reason

[dark copper]

no, melee has very good mobility

very good AOE dodge capability without messing up your dps

[void vigil]

does melee "feel good" cant really describe what i mean but you get the idea

like do the hits feel weighty

[dark copper]

extremely

[quasi spire]

doesn't feel floaty, at least to me

[void vigil]

ok cool

[deep gyro]

it feels pretty cool yeah

flashy effects and stuff

[quasi spire]

(I've only tried DRG/SAM and tanks though)

[void vigil]

Im interested in Summoner>Dragoon>Samurai>Red Mage In that order

[unreal folio]

is DR savage have better rewards compared to DR normal?

[void vigil]

Maybe PLD

[dark copper]

yes

[deep gyro]

DR savage has rewards that sell for more on the marketboard

so you can farm for those

but the reward most people go in there for is the mount

which you only need to do once

and then you get it

[quasi spire]

You have to beat the level 50 main story to unlock samurai and red mage, so your choice is between dragoon, summoner and paladin

[unreal folio]

but DR normal i can farm for the hair right?

[void vigil]

i have beat that story

i played thru Stormblood story then quit before doing endgame stuf

[twilit arch]

Sam/red mage dont have msq requirements

[void vigil]

like 2+ years ago

[twilit arch]

just lvl

[void vigil]

got burnt out from leveling too quickly

and i found warrior boring

my opinion

[deep gyro]

here's a list of drops https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Delubrum_Reginae

[unreal folio]

thnx mila

[quasi spire]

Oh okay. Then I recommend PLD - my main class. Got a bit of everything - physical melee damage, ranged magic damage, tankiness, healing, team protection. Is easy to learn but very difficult to master.

[void vigil]

nice, is tanking more b oring than DPS tho?

[deep gyro]

no

[void vigil]

i played other MMOs and tanking is less fun

[deep gyro]

definitely not

[remote lintel]

its easier but not necessarily more boring

[void vigil]

feel like a wet noodle damage wise

[unreal folio]

Tanking requires more situational awareness and positioning xD

[deep gyro]

in end game raiding tanks usually have more mechanics to perform

[remote lintel]

depends on the fight

[deep gyro]

i would say in every fight this savage tier

[void vigil]

does it take forever to kill stuff while leveling?

[remote lintel]

not really

[unreal folio]

i still like DRK for tanking just because The Blackest Night skill is the ultimate Tank buster mitigator imho :v

[deep gyro]

oh? which fight would you consider tanks to not have more mechanics to do?

[leaden ginkgo]

I love that skill.

[dark copper]

most of the dungeons you run in this game through the story are not designed to be overly challenging so it may be boring to a veteran mmo player

[little swift]

Tanking has different things to focus on compared to dps

[remote lintel]

i was talking to pootis

[little swift]

As a result the rotation is simplified in comparison

[remote lintel]

also some fights in last tier would have tanks just sit there like half the time

[little swift]

7s for example

[tranquil geyser]

im trying to create a trial acc and it said it sent an email when it hasnt .-.

[deep gyro]

oh right my bad

yeah true

i can think of examples where tanks do less

[little swift]

The boss autos you like 17 times total in the whole fight

[deep gyro]

but i feel like in most end game content tanks have more to do

yes but you still need to do all the mechanics a dps does

[little swift]

The mechanics weren't any more or less compared to dps

[deep gyro]

it's more that e7s has less mechanics overall

[little swift]

Even this tier its mostly partners or proteans

[unreal folio]

lol i remember the time i had to run Rathalos EX with 3 tanks and 1 healer

[little swift]

Everyone moves as much as you do as a tank

[deep gyro]

tanks have more to do in anti air in e9s

[unreal folio]

fun fun times

[oak ice]

And moving Cloud in the middle of burst combos

[little swift]

Rath is doable with 4 dps as you should since healers can't heal in p2

[deep gyro]

maybe e10s is somewhat equal aside from tankbuster

[little swift]

Anti air isn't that much more work

[deep gyro]

yeah but it's still more

[little swift]

You just mitigate the tb like you should as dps

For the stavk

[deep gyro]

you could say that for any mechanic though

anyway it's a bit off topic so i guess it's not important

[little swift]

Thats the point I'm making there isn't that much to worry about

[quasi spire]

another place where tanking is basically autopilot is half the fights in alliance raids if you end up in A or C

[oak ice]

B main tanking is a JP only thing

[quasi spire]

Oh fr? Didn't know

[little swift]

Yeah there's no mt is x alliance culture in na

Its whoever tbh

[oak ice]

A bunch of people queue as tanks because they can just get carried for the most part since they lack things to do

[agile laurel]

To what extent can i ignore my MIN job quests? I know i ignored most of btn's and didn't feel anything bad from it

[deep gyro]

you need to do them to get important skills and traits

[tidal yarrow]

is it possible that on more congested data center i lag more during instances?

[deep gyro]

until level 70

you still get a lot of exp and scrips after level 70 but no new skills or traits

[modest igloo]

idk, there rally isnt a lot being held back by them after like 50 i think

[deep gyro]

class quests are actually highly recommended for all classes

from what i've seen most people in this channel always recommend it

[modest igloo]

i think theres like additional cp gains but thats about it after 50, but yes do them

[agile laurel]

hm, i guess HQ+ III is useful

[flat yew]

you get new skills until 60

[little swift]

The gp regen trait is nice to have

[deep gyro]

it might seem less useful to you now, but once you are max level doing end game things it will feel indispensible

[little swift]

But you won't really feel it if you don't gather spending loads of go

[modest igloo]

ah until 60, i forgot about that

[obsidian patio]

You really notice the trait when chaining unspoiled nodes or doing a lot of grinding

[quasi spire]

For FSH, half the cool stuff is behind heavensward class quests

[deep gyro]

so unless you don't plan to use the class much at all, i would recommend doing the class quests

[agile laurel]

does that not get overwrote by enhanced GP regen II at 80?

[little swift]

Luck of the mountaineer is really good

[leaden ginkgo]

how do I join a free company?

[little swift]

They stack

[agile laurel]

yes, I know class quests are good, my question was regarding gatherers cause i never bothered and didn't feel the pain

but that's noted

[little swift]

So you get 7 gp per tick instead of 6

[agile laurel]

regardless, i'll still probably powerlevel them and give a fuck later

[deep gyro]

if you decide to continue using gatherers a lot you will feel the pain later

as i mentioned right now it doesn't feel super useful, but they will later on

[little swift]

If you're in the midst of leveling could probably do them after 70 to outgear and make everything easier

[flat yew]

looks like you get a lot of QoL from the quests

[agile laurel]

i've been using gatherers for quite some time, but thanks for the input

[forest sage]

you can definitely lvl them to cap without doing the quests

although worth noting quests give a ton of xp starting, HW or so

[leaden ginkgo]

seduce me

[forest sage]

like 80% of a lvl and shit

[deep gyro]

yeah for sure the quests are not mandatory

[raven burrow]

are account wide mog station items not sent to mail ?

[void vigil]

do ppl use addons in this game?

[dark copper]

yes

through xivlauncher

[little swift]

And act

[agile laurel]

mm. sort of

[little swift]

And other mods

[dark copper]

although it's technically against ToS, but SE hasn't done anything about it

[agile laurel]

to a MUCH lesser degree than, say, WoW

[void vigil]

isnt the DPS meter banable or something wacky like that?

[dark copper]

so it's probably ok

[agile laurel]

because it's not mandatory

[little swift]

But they're a breach of tos

[forest sage]

mog station items are sent to mail, but they can take a while to get there, they tell you it's up to 24h

[agile laurel]

yes, all addons are against tos

[little swift]

!faq act

[zinc orbit]

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

[raven sage]

They are but they can take a while

[agile laurel]

but they also can't check for addons/mods

so it really amounts to dont ask dont tell

aka don't be a fucking moron and admit to it in broad daylight

cause at that point you honestly had it coming

[deep gyro]

in fact a lot of players break tos by using bots for doh/dol and mostly go unnoticed by square

[raven burrow]

if my stuff hasnt arrived after 24h i need to contact support ?

[flat yew]

how do you even bot DoL?

I can see fishing to an extent

but gathering has you walk around the map

[forest sage]

yes, although first make sure your mail isn't full, delete old messages if it is

[agile laurel]

tradecraft bots aren't anything unique to xiv

[deep gyro]

i don't wanna talk about how to break tos in this channel

[void vigil]

SMN seems popular and good... prob just gonna main that

gear doesnt look cool tho

[flat yew]

SMN also has the longest rotation

takes about 2 minutes for a full skill rota iirc?

[forest sage]

bots are bots, they can do whatever you want including moving around, gold sellers have bots doing the full MSQ to get them to the dungeons they want to farm

[agile laurel]

smn is probably the simplest caster in play capability because of its mobility level

however it does have a comparatively larger amount of buttons for a caster

[deep gyro]

i would probably say rdm is easier

[forest sage]

SMN has a 2mins cycle, but it's not really a 2mins rotation so much as your cooldowns build up over these 2mins

it's not like you have to memorize the rotation for the 2mins

[void vigil]

So then are they weaker in shorter fights

because they cant ramp up

[deep gyro]

depends on the level you're talking about

and the content you play it in

[agile laurel]

no fight is THAT short

and they don't ramp up

[void vigil]

what about dungeon trash mobs

[clever ether]

How often/when can you swap class? I wanna try paladin but not respec or redo my char

[deep gyro]

you can do it as much as you want

[agile laurel]

you unlock the capability after your level 10 class quest

and then, however much you like

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there any official/unofficial even, drop rate for gear in story dungeons? That rng is tiring me out.

[deep gyro]

you can level all 17 combat classes at once if you want

[clever ether]

Okay so after level 10?

[deep gyro]

if they are unlocked haha

[agile laurel]

emphasis on level 10 class quest, but yes

[forest sage]

trash fights are fine, you can use your cooldowns on the trash packs, dungeons are virtually 15mins long encounters with a few lulls here and there

[little swift]

Leveling dungeons drop something you can use directly into your inventory upon completion

[agile laurel]

smn has a burst phase just like any other caster, saying it's comparatively weak outside of that ain't factual

[little swift]

Level cap ones you're subject to rng is rng

[void vigil]

how does SAM rotation work vs other melee

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm running the gauntlet of light(?) trying to get one top of fending, the shadowless one. Pain. lmao did like 8 runs so far, no drop about it.

Starting to lose hope.

[deep gyro]

its rng

[little swift]

Rng is rng

Heroes gauntlet is a level cap dungeon

[deep gyro]

i did like 30 runs of hero's gauntlet to get shadowless ring of aiming

[leaden ginkgo]

I should've known better, I farmed all the 7 birds.

[little swift]

It do be like that

Ex mounts get drop rate up after the expac

[leaden ginkgo]

It dropped to me like 8 or so of them to me.

[little swift]

Also pool for those instances is smaller

[deep gyro]

well it's just rng, nothing you can do about that

[leaden ginkgo]

Wait, for real??

[little swift]

And you get totems

Yes

[deep gyro]

i thought it happens earlier

[leaden ginkgo]

That's amazing!

[forest sage]

it's increased twice

[clever ether]

Another question. I asked earlier about some info about the copy char binds/settings. Is it smart to have 1 main char and copy that char map to desctop?

[little swift]

Heavensward is 2 expacs ago

[deep gyro]

i saw in 5.4 notes that ruby weapon mount drop rates increased

[forest sage]

during the expansion 2patches later, then again

[leaden ginkgo]

Meanwhile, I can't wait for the residential area of Idyllshire to come out.

[little swift]

Yes the rate is increased twice

[modest igloo]

yeah, ive seen people struggle getting ruby and emerald weapon mounts bc of the low drop rate

[remote lintel]

@clever ether you can just copy it from the game files

[forest sage]

ruby was just buffed, emerald is the newest so not buffed yet

[little swift]

Just do 99 runs for the totem spending

[modest igloo]

oh ruby got buffed? neat

[clever ether]

Yes but main issue is I messed up and copied / overwrote the one I was gonna use as a template which kinda made me have to re-do it all again.l

[agile laurel]

did you not get a reply? Not vastly different, except sam has a very mappable rotation

Once you've learned sam, it's not about managing any random aspect, it's about enabling yourself to press the buttons in the order that you've learned

[leaden ginkgo]

Some friends I have are running constantly the emerald, are these dropping something good/flashy about mounts/weapons?

[remote lintel]

@clever ether upload your settings on the character select screen so you can download them if you mess up

[deep gyro]

you get a mecha bahamut looking mount for collecting all of the ex trial mounts this expac it looks pretty cool

[remote lintel]

the weapons from emerald only drop from EX

[open ember]

In 5.5 yeah it looks cool

[forest sage]

well the mount mostly if they're running past the weapon drops

[little swift]

The mount is nice and the weapon is a decent usable i515 weapon

[forest sage]

and since the mount droprate are pretty bad early on, they're probably just running it 99times so they can buy the mount right away when it's added

a lot of people do it this way

personally I take the lazy approach and just wait until the next expansion then do them unsynced when it's both faster and they drop more often

[open ember]

Diamond weapon won't be purchaseable with totems on launch tho

[modest igloo]

is diamond gonna be a 525 ilvl?

[open ember]

They only recently added ruby weapon dragon to totem exchange

[deep gyro]

probably yeh

[modest igloo]

for the weapon

[forest sage]

I said emerald

not diamond

[open ember]

Oh yeah

[little swift]

Weapon will be purchasable not the mount

[forest sage]

when they're adding it to the vendor ppl who have 99 can buy it right away

should be 5.55

[leaden ginkgo]

That's the best and smartest choice to be honest. I got impatient and went to get the 7 birds, had some issues with some players yeeting faster than light out of the party once they got the mount.

But overall, good experience.

Got them all.

[forest sage]

diamond probably 5.58 or whatever the last patch is for the mount vendor

[rocky crow]

I have a friend getting this error downloading the game for the first time

ideas?

[open ember]

5.5 has two parts iirc

[deep gyro]

#technology-discussion ?

[open ember]

Idk which part diamond weapon will be a part of

[forest sage]

the MSQ is split in 2 parts yeah, diamond will be added in 5.5 but the vendor for the mount won't be until probably the very last patch

[open ember]

Yep

[remote lintel]

@rocky crow update internet explorer

[rocky crow]

really, IE?

[remote lintel]

the launcher runs on IE

[rocky crow]

oh.............

[remote lintel]

or try disabling any vpns

[rocky crow]

so windows updates for IE?

already off vpn

[remote lintel]

yes

or try using phone hotspot

[forest sage]

also firewall permissions, the usual

[little swift]

Ie still exists even if you don't actively use it

[open ember]

Question for me, for the reconditioned step of the HW relic (treated crystal sand step), do I need 65 or 70 umbrite? And does it matter which stats I put it into? Its just glam lol

[wet cradle]

can you have retainers inside the house instead of just the garden?

[twilit arch]

60-80, depends on how lucky you get with procs on the 2nd half of it

and no doesn't matter what stats you put into, just needs 250 Iirc stats total

[open ember]

So the max is 80?

Or do I need more than just 80 umbrite

[twilit arch]

if somehow you get super unlucky with procs, yes its 80

[open ember]

Oh god okay

So many poetics

Thank you

[agile laurel]

yes - afaik some kind of permit from the ward's vendors should do it

don't ask me which specifically

[wet cradle]

this one?

[agile laurel]

um

retainers actually, I'm not sure, sorry

blanked, thought you meant npcs

I personally have a retainer bell for indoors

[open ember]

Can't you just set a mannequin down

For the retainers

[wet cradle]

yeah I just want it for the style

[open ember]

Ohh okay

[wet cradle]

not sure if it will work with a mannequin

[open ember]

Oh

Okay

I just looked it up

Use that permit

It SHOULD put a retainer in your house

[dark copper]

it's been awhile, but I believe that only works outdoors

[wet cradle]

huh its weird with mannequin

if you click on it, the retainer appears

but the mannequin doesn't look like the retainer

[dark copper]

can you post screenshot

[leaden ginkgo]

how am i supposed to level a dps this is painful

[wet cradle]

one sec

[dark copper]

palace of the dead

[modest igloo]

by doing other things during que times

[wet cradle]

right side is my retainer

left side is the mannequin

[raven sage]

The retainer tied the mannequin is just the inventory it pulls from

and the one who will sell the gear on it if you put it for sale

[signal aspen]

if I don't have crafters unlock how would I go about getting 80 on this week's? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/613036083336315004/817476603709751377/unknown.png

[wet cradle]

meh

so I can have it only in the garden right?

[signal aspen]

I have the moogle arms, but only get 78 points.

[raven sage]

Use the dyes on the right side

of the infographic

[signal aspen]

on what pieces, I have brown on head and black on chest

[dark copper]

iirc to get the gloves, you just need a level 1 crafter

[raven sage]

It tells you what slots

Your head should be black not brown

and chest should be brown not black

[clever ether]

Do females chars always wear heels?

[dark copper]

talk to the ixal tribe to obtain the gloves

[dark copper]

no

[drifting parcel]

these tomes we have now, the limited ones, are the last ones for this expansion?

[open ember]

Yes

No new tomes until 6.0

[signal aspen]

do you get +2 points per dyed piece?

or all of the pieces have to be that color?

[raven sage]

yes if you use the +2 dyes

Each dye is +2

[signal aspen]

thank you

[clever ether]

Someone told me yesterday but i forgot and cant find it. Where do you change the camera settings? I wanna get rid of snapback.

[leaden ginkgo]

keybind settings

also in character settings i believe

So after I do all of my daily roulettes, what’s the next viable way to make Gil?

[scarlet arrow]

find a group for 8-man treasure maps, run PotD to search for rare drops, use allegory tomestones to buy crafting mats and then sell them on the mb....

[clever ether]

Its not there. I really been looking and cant for the world of it remember how I did it yesterday

[remote lintel]

if by "snapback" you mean the camera moving back when you move your character, its the legacy control scheme iirc

to make it stop doing that

[clever ether]

Yes exactly that. I will see if I can find it. Thanks alot!

Can you change it ingame? If I recall I did it out of game yesterday.

[faint flare]

Character config

And its like the first thing you see

[clever ether]

Ah I fixed it 🙂

[dark copper]

run dzemael darkhold

you can sell the gear from dzemael on MB

some of the stuff fetch up to 40k

or do crafting

[agile laurel]

or maps

[dark copper]

you would need a party for maps

[faint flare]

Or be blue

[deep gyro]

not sure blue mage can solo whatever is after the portals

[dark copper]

so blue is just that op, huh

[faint flare]

They can

[deep gyro]

oh really

all of them?

[faint flare]

Basic instinct says hello

[deep gyro]

i gotta try that

[faint flare]

Basic instinct with healer mimic makes pom cure basically Benediction

[deep gyro]

thanks for the tip

[dark copper]

damn, i have over 1k hours in the game and I didn't know this

[deep gyro]

498 days and didn't know this

[agile laurel]

is this, uh... how diadem leveling is meant to go?

[faint flare]

Pretty much

Pop food and survival manuals

And brain go off

[agile laurel]

whoopsie, forgot abt manuals

better get some

[leaden ginkgo]

What is the benefit of not tech finishing right away?

[agile laurel]

uh. define right away?

only time staggering tech step is useful is if the boss is going to leave halfway through the duration

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh okay

[deep gyro]

buff alignment

[leaden ginkgo]

That's why u do thay

On es10

Or w.e?

That*

[deep gyro]

yes

u do it after he comes back from shifting skies

everyone uses their 2min cds after that

[faint flare]

You have 15s to finish the dance...you can use it before the boss returns to get the cooldown started faster

[deep gyro]

don't do that

do it after

else you're wasting raid dps

[leaden ginkgo]

How long does shifting skies last

[deep gyro]

you want technical finish to happen during everyones burst

[faint flare]

Shifting is like 50seconds or something

Or Sundered what the second skies is

With mirrors

[leaden ginkgo]

So is it better to not touch tech dance when he is about to do shifting skyes?

And just wait

[deep gyro]

yes

look at all the top ranked logs on fflogs

i can check for you

but i'm almost certain that is what they do

[leaden ginkgo]

No need for u to do that lol

But thanks okay yeah I was confused on if that's a thing u do all the time

But I guess it's situational as fuck

[deep gyro]

yeah it is

just try to judge it on a situational basis

actually wait

how many seconds do you have

before technical

i mean before shifting skies

when technical comes up

i think if you have the full 20 seconds it might be worth just using it

i'm not sure about the timing on this fight unfortunately

(on dancer)

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh the 20 seconds before he does shifting skyes?

[deep gyro]

yeah if your technical finish buff finishes before he goes away

then i think it might be worth doing it beforehand

i thought you meant you don't get the full duration before he goes away

my bad, i think i misunderstood your question

ok so i checked the timelines for you and it looks like you're meant to start your technical at around the 2 min 1 second mark

and your technical finish buff should last the full duration before he goes away

yeah ok i thought he went away much earlier than that, sorry about the initial false information

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahhh okay tha k youu

Thank*

[clever ether]

Do you auto loot?

I keep killing stuff but no idea if they drop anything

[dark copper]

If alone yes

[faint flare]

Yes, you only roll on items from chests in partiee

[dark copper]

Otherwise you roll for them

Also, if everyone else in a duty passes on an item, you automatically get that item if you haven't selected pass

[clever ether]

Ah cool. Is there a way to see if an item is upgrade or not?

[dark copper]

right click item

[remote lintel]

hover over it?

[faint flare]

Higher ilvl is basically always an upgrade

[boreal storm]

Higher lvl gear > low level gear

[clever ether]

If I hoover over it I can only see the item and not the one I have equipped?

[dark copper]

is the orchestrion from emanation a drop only or can I craft/buy it

[dark copper]

there should be an option to compare to what you have currently equipped

when you right click

[fossil reef]

So I feel like a dumbass for asking, but the two big questlines when starting out is MSQ and Class/Job Quest, right?

[dark copper]

Yes

progression in the game occurs through main story quests and your job quest

[leaden ginkgo]

Is materia even worth using or is just for "extra" stats (combat classes only)

Some people were telling me materia isn't as important and u don't need it

[fossil reef]

Okay, wanted to make sure I didn't miss some third quest after falling two quests behind on my job one X_X

[faint flare]

Its extra stats thus extra dps, mainly for savage primarily for extra leniency in dps checks

For normal content its not really needed due to sync turning it off

[heavy wadi]

it adds a lot to dps in higher end content, but that's it really

unless you plan to do savage and extreme it's not super important

[scarlet arrow]

and materia while you are leveling is completely unnecessary

[dark copper]

There are some additional sidequests you will want to do to unlock certain leveling dungeons, crafting, materia, etc

[dark copper]

it's primarily for endgame

[scarlet arrow]

anything with unlocks some kind of content

[weak copper]

Hello, my both classes are 78/79 so i'll be 80 probably tomorrow or so, is there an updated guide about what can I do when I fresh hitting 80 besides finishing the MSQ? (I just started Lv.76 ones)

[faint flare]

!faq contentunlock

[zinc orbit]

Content Location FAQ

A Realm Reborn Content
Heavensward Content
Stormblood Content
Shadowbringers Content

[faint flare]

See Shadowbringers

[dark copper]

It depends on where you are in the msq

MSQ level is the most important for getting new content

class level doesn't really unlock anything more than your class/job quests

[weak copper]

here

[faint flare]

Then you cant do any 80 content

Until you finish base Shadowbringers

[weak copper]

So the first thing i must do is finishing the MSQ but then?

[faint flare]

Then refer to the content unlock faq posted

For unlockable content

[leaden ginkgo]

@dark copper I'm basically at cryptlucker but idk if I need to invest into materia

I'm just farming my relic weapons, but if I can clear content without it I'm not going to invest my time into it

[faint flare]

If you're doing savage then you REALLY REALLY should be melded

[leaden ginkgo]

But if it's needed I'll get ut

It*

For parsing or clearing

IDC about parsing

[faint flare]

Both

Its very very highly advised to be melded for doing anything savage related

Its free stats and free dps

[lime jewel]

can u upgrade the ilvl of the soul(egg)?

[leaden ginkgo]

Idk some people told me they can clear without but if it's "required" I guess I'll farm the materia

[faint flare]

Its not "required" unless you're minimum ilvl across everyone but you REALLY REALLY should be

There's no reason not to

[leaden ginkgo]

Getting materia from boss drop what doesn't the materia drop based on the class ur playing?

Like from Spiritbonding

[faint flare]

More dps means you skip more mechanics and add leniency for deaths

[leaden ginkgo]

Spirtbonding*

[faint flare]

Materia from spiritbond is random combat materia for combat gear

[leaden ginkgo]

And doesn't boss give materia as well? And okay it's random good to know

[faint flare]

Game fucking throws combat materia at you, through treasure maps, lv80 dungeons, weekly cracked clusters from nier raids

[scarlet arrow]

the job crystal?

[leaden ginkgo]

Which level 80 dungeon do you recommend I should do?

[faint flare]

Not bosses, there's one pull per lv80 dungeon that drops materia

[heavy wadi]

yeah this, if you do roulettes you'll be swimming in currency to get materia

[faint flare]

Any, usually the ones in expert roulette for tomes

[leaden ginkgo]

I mean like after roulette

[faint flare]

Same thing

[heavy wadi]

Just from doing roulettes semi-consistently you can get a lot https://i.imgur.com/eeyHHgN.png

[faint flare]

You can just run those dungeons straight up or just que again for expert if you dont care

[heavy wadi]

I've spent a bunch but you get the idea

[leaden ginkgo]

Cuz I usually did the one called akadaemia

[heavy wadi]

also the msq throws them at you

[faint flare]

The current nier raid drops 2 of each of those clusters weekly to buy any tier 7 and 8 materia you want

[leaden ginkgo]

So any level 80 is fine doesn't matter which one it is?

[chilly briar]

I have completed every book when I go to Jalzahn WITH my weapon equiped his two quest he have are red and the other optionsdo nothing for me ?

[faint flare]

Any is fine

[faint flare]

Unequip it

[heavy wadi]

unequip it

[faint flare]

And try

[chilly briar]

Tried that too

Equiped and un equipped every option I tried also went back to book girl nothing

[burnt otter]

Is there any sort of priority for which reward to grab from 2 lines WT (Allegory, Silver Commendation or 100k MGP) ?

[heavy wadi]

take a look at the rewards for silver commendations and mgp and see which one you want betw those three

allegory would be for gear upgrades, while the others are cosmetic

silver may be used to get a mount but I can't remember if that's true

[little swift]

silver tickets can be traded for minions

gold tickets are for mounts

there's no priority its more about what you want

[burnt otter]

Ah gotcha

Yeah I just realized there are some emotes I'm missing from saucer I've been eyeing lol

ty both!

[fresh wing]

can we only obtain 1 piece of gear in the puppet bunker once a week?

[faint flare]

No

That's lifted

[open ember]

for 5.5 yes nier raid but nope not for bunker

i think the clusters are still once a week

[leaden ginkgo]

Is fashion report available for judging yet?

[faint flare]

Yes

[spark cradle]

for the animus books does a dungeon completion not count if you were dead at the end?

[floral ledge]

Is there a point to donating after you complete the doman enclave?, can @me to spoilers if needed

[slate arrow]

extra vendor money

[spark cradle]

it gives you double what shops give for it

[floral ledge]

im at a loss still o3o

[deep gyro]

i hand in 20k worth of stuff to doman enclave every week for 40k gil

[faint flare]

You can sell stuff to them for more than what vendors give you

Its literally free money

[spark lance]

In what patch did the old BLU spells get buffed (e.g. Ram's Voice went from 130 potency to 220, Song of Torment DoT went from 25 to 50)?

[sullen canopy]

hi, can anyone tell me if there is a way to find someone for bonding ceremony apart from prostituting myself in limsa that is. Im looking for a plat ceremony!

[floral ledge]

oh wait it gives ME money?

[faint flare]

Yes

[floral ledge]

😮

[spark cradle]

... yes

[faint flare]

They have been all the time

Throughout the entire thing

[floral ledge]

so i just sell all the silver pieces

i didnt know

[spark lance]

Yep, it's the least donatey donation

[floral ledge]

i thought i was spending money to help it

[faint flare]

You've been giving them items and they've given money back

[floral ledge]

i didnt know that wow

welp, time to sell my silver pieces then

and stuff i dont need

[faint flare]

You'll only get 40k a week so sell off slowly

Not everything immediately

[rough fossil]

So erm I just kinda stumbled into an Odin fate. I participated a tiny bit but was KO’d before the party defeated him. I was rezzed afterward and got some Flame seals for participation, but I’m guessing I missed out on the good stuff?

[leaden ginkgo]

Where do we even find them?

Wait, who is that doman guy

[heavy wadi]

yeah you need a-rank to get the Good Stuff

aka did a good chunk of dmg and participated a lot

[rough fossil]

But I didn’t even qualify for the lowest tier?

[spark cradle]

for the ARR animus books, if i die on completion of the last dgn boss does that dgn not count?

[spark lance]

IIRC you get tokens that can be exchanged for Odin-themed items if you get silver or gold

[faint flare]

If you're not in a party its harder to get gold rank

[rough fossil]

Ah okay so you don’t get stuff for being terrible lol

[deep gyro]

what level are you?

[silver ruin]

if you mean finding someone to pay for the whole thing, highly highly unlikely, but if you're looking to split the costs theres a marriage thread on official forums

[rough fossil]

66 haha. I wasn’t in a party or anything, I really did just stumble on it

[spark cradle]

was on PLD and i got the chests from it

[faint flare]

Then yeah chances you'll get gold is low

[spark cradle]

they're pretty shit tbh

[deep gyro]

ah in that case you didnt contribute enough to the fate as everyone else said

[faint flare]

It follows normal fate rules

[spark cradle]

i don't think his rewards are that good

[heavy wadi]

you get stuff to get his armor in mor dhona but that's about it

and it's like, this awkward whole body suit

[rough fossil]

No worries, was just curious because I’ve never done one of these things before

[spark cradle]

its also tank only lul

[rough fossil]

Thanks for the info all!

[drowsy tiger]

As a Paladin tank, is Iron Will pretty much my only way to keep aggro as opposed to shield lob

[faint flare]

It makes ALL attacks generate aggro

[drowsy tiger]

I'm just trying to think of the most efficient way to keep aggro on multiple mobs simultaneously

[robust crow]

you shouldn't have any problems at all as any tank

when you have tank stance on

[faint flare]

You turn it on and keep it on

[heavy wadi]

^

[faint flare]

And spam aoe

[robust crow]

you're thinking too hard on it

exactly what vinyl said

turn on tank space and spam 1 button

you will never ever lose aggro ever

[faint flare]

It gives all attacks a stupidly high aggro multiplier

[drowsy tiger]

well, if my colleagues are taking dmg, then that is a failure on my part no?

[jade quartz]

It’s a 10x aggro multiplier

[robust crow]

no

[faint flare]

You literally aoe twice then can afk and never loose aggro

[drowsy tiger]

my job is to absorb and mitigate all incoming damage

[robust crow]

they can be getting hit by random shit

if they aren't dodging aoes then that's their fault

[drowsy tiger]

like getting hit by landslide in The Navel

[robust crow]

your job is to take all auto attacks

[faint flare]

As long as you have aggro on everything then they wont get hit by much

[drowsy tiger]

since I cant control that

[faint flare]

Bosses force turn

[silver ruin]

no???

[faint flare]

For things

[silver ruin]

you shouldnt be getting hit by avoidable aoes

[jade quartz]

Just gave iron will on and you should take all aggro

[silver ruin]

landslide is avoidable

[drowsy tiger]

thats what im saying

it shouldnt be my fault then

[jade quartz]

Your aim is to do as much damage as possible

Keeping aggro is a natural result of that if you have iron will on.

Shield lob is just for the initial pull

[robust crow]

if there is a big ass telegraphed AoE and they got hit by it

it's not your fault

[jade quartz]

Not for spamming

[drowsy tiger]

So Provoke should be a failsafe only ability then

I should never have to rely on it

[robust crow]

there are some attacks that are aimed at the tank with no warning and have AoE

[faint flare]

Provoke is for tank swapping

[drowsy tiger]

not like you really can with a 30 sec CD anyway

[jade quartz]

Provoke is for tank swapping

[faint flare]

And pulling further range stuff

[drowsy tiger]

that makes sense, tank swapping

[robust crow]

for those, you just need to be facing the boss away from the raid

as a general rule, always face mobs away from the rest of the raid

[drowsy tiger]

so the rule of thumb is to always turn the boss away from the group

[spark lance]

Swapping and resestablishing aggro if you die

[robust crow]

unless you explicitly know otherwise that you shouldn't

[silver ruin]

yes

[jade quartz]

Yes there are “cleaves” which hit the tank and anyone who stands too close

[silver ruin]

cause some bosses have cleave attacks

[drowsy tiger]

there's never a boss where that's a bad thing

[silver ruin]

no

[robust crow]

there are some

[drowsy tiger]

good

oh great here we go

[robust crow]

but like I said, you need to know them in advance

if you don't know then you're always safe just facing them away

it's not really going to matter outside savage raiding

[faint flare]

If they can be faced away

[silver ruin]

anything that you normally need to face towards the party is ^

that and extreme

[drowsy tiger]

I am feeling that pressure that everyone expects me to know everything about the dungeon

I am technically the leader]

[silver ruin]

no you are not

[robust crow]

nah you're just the dude in front

lol

[faint flare]

You're just running ahead and aoeing things

[drowsy tiger]

most people follow the Tank by default though

[faint flare]

You're a meat shield

[robust crow]

and oftentimes you won't even be the dude in front

if a DPS or healer gets antsy and wants to pull more

let them

you should be able to handle it

[drowsy tiger]

That's true, I've had a lot of antsy DPS in my last few groups

I prefer it for now

[robust crow]

just follow up on the DPS/healer pulling and spam your aoe so you attain aggro

[worthy rain]

Salutes, I did in 50/60/70 roulette a dungeon that awards 150 poetics (and 100 daily bonus), but instead of 150 poetics, it was only 60 (and 100), why not the 90 rest?

[drowsy tiger]

but I imagine at some point it will annoy me once I know the dungeons inside and out

[robust crow]

it shouldn't annoy you

the ff14 etiquette is to pull literally everything

at least, among experienced players

[drowsy tiger]

I can do that

[robust crow]

if someone is brand spanking new then feel free to take it slower

and it doesn't hurt to check with your healer to make sure they're comfy with you doing it

[drowsy tiger]

I need to bind markers so I can set priority targets

[robust crow]

but if they give you the thumbs up then you should pull literally everything

[jade quartz]

No you don’t

[faint flare]

No

They're pointless

[robust crow]

and no, you don't need to do that

everyone is going to spam aoe

[faint flare]

Everyone should be AOEing

[drowsy tiger]

it should in theory make it easier on me

oh

[jade quartz]

Everyone will AoE

[faint flare]

If they have aoe

[drowsy tiger]

thats true i didnt think of aoe

[jade quartz]

Uh

[spark lance]

FFXIV dungeons dont really justify prioritizing targets. Everyone just AoEs

[drowsy tiger]

so just spam AoE then

with Iron Will on

[jade quartz]

You should always be thinking of AoE

[robust crow]

you should not ever be single targeting anyone in a dungeon pull

[jade quartz]

Yes

[robust crow]

if there's more than 3 enemies then spam aoe

[faint flare]

Basically everyone aoes at 3+ mobs

[drowsy tiger]

so Paladin is basically 2 abilities

[jade quartz]

That is how you play the game

[drowsy tiger]

sometimes 3

[faint flare]

• defensive cooldowns

[drowsy tiger]

i mean I am oversimplifying it

[leaden ginkgo]

Residential Area for Idyllshire comes with EW, right?

[jade quartz]

No

[faint flare]

6.1

[drowsy tiger]

but it just seems easier than I originally thought

[jade quartz]

Ishgard

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah, Ishgard, my bad.

[jade quartz]

Yeah dungeons aren’t hard

[drowsy tiger]

right now I am just trying to get to 50

so I can unlock AST

[jade quartz]

That’s why speedrunning them is the norm

[faint flare]

Tanking is just stance up > aoe shit > cycle all your defensive cooldowns one by one

Done

[drowsy tiger]

better than Palace of the Dead?

[faint flare]

Yes

[heavy wadi]

Yes, espec as a tank

[faint flare]

Potd is for when ques are long

[drowsy tiger]

I see

[heavy wadi]

or if you're a dps

[faint flare]

Which it isn't for tanks

[drowsy tiger]

yeah Tanks are usually insta queue in most other MMO's I've played

[robust crow]

you may not be aware since you seem like a relatively new tank, but arm's length is also a defensive cooldown

[drowsy tiger]

I have those on different bars

[heavy wadi]

yes, yes use arm's length, you will make your healers happy

[robust crow]

use it as you would sentinel/rampart/reprisal

[drowsy tiger]

the 30/60s CD abilities that is

I usually try to time the DMG mitigation ones when I expect to get rocked

[jade quartz]

No

[robust crow]

yeah it's not immediately intuitive since it doesn't really tell you what arm's length does

[faint flare]

Trash is when you use your cooldowns

Trash is alot harder

[jade quartz]

You should try to have one up most of the time when in combat with trash mobs

[faint flare]

Than dungeon bosses

[robust crow]

when you activate arm's length, in addition to ignoring knockback resists, you also slow the enemy attack speed

[faint flare]

Bosses are fucking pathetic

[robust crow]

so it's a significant mitigation

[drowsy tiger]

so just always use on CD then

[robust crow]

so remember to use it

[faint flare]

You cycle them one.by one

In trash

[drowsy tiger]

right

ok

[rough fossil]

I wasn’t here for Shirogane release so am wondering how they will handle Ishgard. Do all the plots go up at once or do they stagger their release?

[faint flare]

All up

Bloodbath is turned on and glhf

[pulsar escarp]

free for all

[blazing cipher]

i got regarding the botanist im doing the level 25 quest for ir and i need to get chamomile HQ but when i go to harverts it is say getting Hq chamomile is 0 percent and im using leaft turn but it wont increse

[pulsar escarp]

like throwing a pack of chips at seagulls

[faint flare]

Your gear is shit

You need more perception

[robust crow]

leaf turn also has no effect if your target item is 0% by default

[rough fossil]

Duuude. Did we have any data beforehand to know what the plots would be like or was it all just chaos?

[robust crow]

you can literally see the plots right now saera

[faint flare]

You can go into the firmament

And see

[pulsar escarp]

house hunting

[blazing cipher]

kk ty

[jade quartz]

For Shirogane the ward was also explorable for a patch without being able to buy

So everyone got to scope out the area

[faint flare]

And ishgard is explorable now

[devout lichen]

why did I get the ffxiv 1.0 shutdown cutscene when I opened the game just now

[jade quartz]

It’s the cinematic trailer for A Realm Reborn

[robust crow]

you're probably still in ARR story

[rough fossil]

Riiiight haha thanks

[robust crow]

or you haven't bought the expansion

i think it's the latter

when you own ShB it changes your login screen

[pulsar escarp]

it happens when you just afk

uh

in free trial

at least

I didn't know it changed

[rough fossil]

Decisions... throw down the gauntlet for Ishgard or circle like a vulture in LB? Haha

[pulsar escarp]

so if you're in shb and you afk on menu does it show you shb trailer?

[faint flare]

Tbh i would try to get a house now so you can relocate and bypass invisible timers

Yes

[pulsar escarp]

oh sweet

[heavy wadi]

yep

[pulsar escarp]

and same for sb I guess

looking forward to that

sad I missed HW's menu screen

[rough fossil]

I got a house earlier this week! I cried

[heavy wadi]

you can change the menu screen appearance

[faint flare]

Alot of people sre gonna relocate to ishgard when it opens

[pulsar escarp]

?!

[heavy wadi]

on the main screen

[pulsar escarp]

and music with it? really?

[faint flare]

Only temporarily

It reverts on next login

[pulsar escarp]

oh...
