you can get rid of physick
viscid fossil
haha yea

Physick 
viscid fossil
it's so weak xD
jade quartz
yeah you can seriously just remove it forever
sweet leaf
i'm starting to think i just don't have the mental capacity to play this game effectively. i rarely ever remember i have like 7 Abilities in each job just like i never remember i have items in mobas
jade quartz
at level cap it heals less than a single tick of natural hp regeneration
jade quartz
i'm starting to think i just don't have the mental capacity to play this game ef...
it's just practice and muscle memory
plain python
it is one hour real-life for 24 hour in-game?
viscid fossil
@sweet leaf maybe try a controller?
twilit arch
there has even been world first clears with clickers. would recommend finding comfortable keybinds but clicking is possible
viscid fossil
There are people playing with controller
jade quartz
but if you are having trouble with button press stuff maybe monk is not for you at this time
sweet leaf
clicking my skills would absolutely destroy me. i use my mouse for movement and camera control so removing it from the field to click on my abilities would cripple me

Hi, I have a completely new ffxiv install cause I had to re-download everything from scratch via windows 10. However I happen to have my older ffxiv game folder with cfg in it. Can I just simply drag this FFXIV.CFG file onto my newer, more current ffxiv folder and I'll have my original ingame settings via UI/HUD/Hotkey settings ?
remote lintel
the .cfg file isn't where your hotbars and stuff is
twilit arch
its the .dat files
viscid fossil
@tacit venture you can, recommend to use the server sync save your config next time. less headache.
jade quartz
Strongly recommend making keybinds for at least Q, E and R
remote lintel
if you uploaded your settings to the cloud you can download them
jade quartz
and shift+QER, ctrl or alt+qer
tacit venture
I haven't been able to use that server sync before I had to restart my entire computer
jade quartz
that should help with hotbar arrangement
sweet leaf
i'm gonna have to figure out what not to put on my hotbars because i currently have all 10 on my screen for various things
jade quartz
and maybe try another job that's less high-speed, such as a tank or a caster
tacit venture
but I do have documents of the old ffxiv, only like the "my documents' portion
sweet leaf
ive 80'd WHM
tacit venture
so..if it's not in the cfg file, where would it be ?
jade quartz
almost all skills should stay on your hotbar.
remote lintel
@tacit venture CHR folder
jade quartz
skills that you can take off your hotbar are rare exceptions.
generally, you need all your buttons.
sweet leaf
what about the CNJ bind and sleep?
tacit venture
ohh awesome okay I have that too
jade quartz
yeah you can scrap those
cure 1 and medica 1 are pretty obsolete except when synced to low levels too
viscid fossil
what about the CNJ bind and sleep?
I rarely use them.
sweet leaf
when people stack i use Medica 2
jade quartz
in situations where the party is tightly stacked and high party-wide damage is coming out
sweet leaf
ahhh
viscid fossil
No you may use Cure III for moment like boss hits everyone down to 10%
sweet leaf
ah ok, so i'm good for now
jade quartz
it's situational but it's a powerful tool
faint flare
Single cure 3 eliminates alot of heal checks by a large amount
jade quartz
it is a high-potency AoE heal but it has a much smaller radius than medica 2
cosmic reef
Single cure 3 eliminates alot of heal checks by a large amount
Stormblood Alliance raid.
Cid stack up
As an example
sweet leaf
when is aff solace used?
faint flare
Over cure 2
sweet leaf
or whichever the self/aoe afflatus
cosmic reef
As your main heal when not OGCD
jade quartz
it's a free cure 2 in potency
faint flare
Lilies have higher priority over cure 2/medica
faint flare
So you can work towards misery
jade quartz
!action afflatus solace
vestal needle
how does mimicry work if im trying to use it in a trial?

i knew about solace sorry sorry
zinc orbitBOT

jade quartz
ah no other one
faint flare
how does mimicry work if im trying to use it in a trial?
Basically doubles your defense abd increase emnity. You'll need to go find a tank to mimic
jade quartz
!action afflatus rapture
cosmic reef
i meant the other afflatus
Medica replacement
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
sweet leaf
whats the range, i forgot
jade quartz
yeah, basic AoE heal just like afflatus solace is basic single target heal
cosmic reef
Medica
faint flare
Same as medica
sweet leaf
ok
jade quartz
!action medica
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
jade quartz
free lily version of medica just like solace is free lily version of cure2
vestal needle
@faint flare how would i get it to work in a trial? do i use it in town first before going in?
viscid fossil
Red - Single Target heals Yellow - Protect debuff Green - oh shit button Pink - AOE heals Orange - pew pew White - why do i have these?
vestal needle
if my entire party is bluemage
sweet leaf
yeah i try to use solace whenever a heal is needed and before i get 3 lilies so they're always on cd
faint flare
<@!642134104728535061> how would i get it to work in a trial? do i use it in tow...
Just find someone in limsa or ask someone to swap to tank quickly then they can swap back to remimic dps
vestal needle
oh so the buff wont go away once i go in the trial/
vestal needle
got it thanks!
cosmic reef
Well yeah.
sweet leaf
i struggle with ogcds on whm because the only things i can weave them into are dia and afflatus heals
jade quartz
Only delay if you know it’s not gonna lose you a cast over the course of the fight
Or if you know it’s absolutely necessary
fresh wing
hows haste for mch in bozjan and delubrum?
jade quartz
Yeah you just gotta deal with clipping a lot of the time
faint flare
Haste is like 0.02s per point
sweet leaf
ah alright wasn't aware clipping was normal for whm
jade quartz
Bozjan haste sucks and makes barely any difference
viscid fossil
Feel free to pop Solace when your charge is about to hit a 4th. so charge up your lily
sweet leaf
that was my problem
jade quartz
Eh
sweet leaf
yeah i know
cosmic reef
Feel free to pop Solace when your charge is about to hit a 4th. so charge up you...
Don't do that!!
faint flare
Or just you know, weave with lilies
sweet leaf
eh
jade quartz
No only use solace if you have to
viscid fossil
D;
sweet leaf
is it a dps loss if you're about to reach 3 lilies and you will end up charging to misery if you do?
jade quartz
Yes
sweet leaf
then again, what am i saying. I don't play in any content that can even use misery
faint flare
But 3 glares is 900 pot
jade quartz
Blood lily is a consolation prize for the four lost glares
But it doesn’t make up for it
sweet leaf
i thought it charges after 3 not 4
jade quartz
Yeah and then you have to use a gcd to cast misery
viscid fossil
make sense if whm is dps focus but I'm not doing savage stuff atm
faint flare
Those 4 casts could have been glare
jade quartz
Total 4 gcds
sweet leaf
misery is a gcd
viscid fossil
too many leaf I need to heal
jade quartz
make sense if whm is dps focus but I'm not doing savage stuff atm
Optimising dps is ultimately the aim in all levels of content
faint flare
You need 3 gcds to get misery + use another gcd to actually use Misery
obsidian patio
misery is a gcd
Yep
faint flare
So its 4 gcds to deal 900 pot
jade quartz
Obviously you keep everyone alive
sweet leaf
so technically it's only 3 lost glares
jade quartz
So fairly often you need to use gcd heals
faint flare
Its 4
sweet leaf
since the misery is damage over a glare
faint flare
Those 4 gcds could have been glare
jade quartz
But the aim is to only use as many as you absolutely need, no more
sweet leaf
you're spending 3 glares to use 3 solace
jade quartz
so technically it's only 3 lost glares
No it’s not
faint flare
4 glares is 1200
jade quartz
You could cast three afflatus and one misery
faint flare
One blood lily is 4 gcds for 900
jade quartz
Or you could cast four glares
faint flare
Its a 300 pot different
sweet leaf
well ok but the way i look at it is if you have a misery ready, whether you've spent the lilies when you needed to or not, you're going to cast the misery regardless
sweet leaf
yeah that's what i'm gathering
faint flare
Misery is Potency protection for being forced to heal
jade quartz
because if you can get away with not doing that, and just casting four glares instead, it's more optimal.
Misery is a consolation prize
sweet leaf
until vinyl said weave with lilies and that's like... directly oppposite of what you're telling me
viscid fossil
Misery is Potency protection for being forced to heal
That is probably the best way to put it
faint flare
You can weave with lilies, by letting them drop low
Then solace + ogcd heal
Then go about your day
viscid fossil
jade quartz
in a perfect world you could heal just with ogcds but you're gonna need to say "goddamnit I guess I need to spend a GCD to heal" sometimes
sweet leaf
right that's why i said earlier that i struggle with ogcds because i can only weave them into dia or lilies
jade quartz
so then you figure out how you can make the best of that situation
and one way is to take advantage of the weave window.
sweet leaf
but then you've informed me that clipping is normal in this situation
jade quartz
yeah sometimes you'll clip
faint flare
You can also consider using Swiftcast to try and get yourself another weave window
viscid fossil
I spam Ruin II. that's all I do. 😉
sweet leaf
i know that's lost dps lol
jade quartz
but sometimes you just gotta heal someone and you don't have a convenient weave window
you minimise dps loss as much as you can with planning and judicious use of cds and weave windows
but in the end you're human
sweet leaf
i've still got this mentality where swiftcast needs to be saved for when a dps stands in the stupid and i need to res them
jade quartz
that's fair in casual content with pugs yeah
viscid fossil
To be honest, optimization comes after getting comfy the playstyle. I don't see myself going insane on optimization in Crystal Tower... 90% of the time farming relic - I'm watching a TV shows
sweet leaf
the only trashy part is when i use swiftcast and then somehow my res doesn't go through and i sit there for 7 seconds scratching my head like, "bug?"
viscid fossil
xD
jade quartz
either lag, out of range or person doesn't accept res
nimble sentinel
How do you unlock flying in areas

obsidian patio
Given through the story
nimble sentinel
!faq blackchocobo
zinc orbitBOT
nimble sentinel
oh ok
warm iron
what happens when you switch grand company alignment? Do you start from scratch?
jade quartz
the black chocobo is not part of the unlock for flying, nor is it required to fly. All mounts are capable of flight, it just needs to have beenn unlocked for the given zone.
jade quartz
what happens when you switch grand company alignment? Do you start from scratch?
you have to rank up from scratch, yeah. Your rank and GC seals in your previous GC are frozen. Your GC squadron moves over with you, but you have to do the priority missions to rank them up again (can be done very quickly as they still have their high levels)
your first GC switch is free, but subsequent switches cost 50K gil
there's also a 15-day cooldown between each switch
warm iron
hmm, is there per chance a list of items that are exclusive to each gc? I was mostly looking at bardings, but if there is more I'll snag it too
jade quartz
The glamour officer uniforms which can be viewed in the link here
warm iron
also, how do you rank up from second ltn.?
jade quartz
!faq grandcompany
zinc orbitBOT
sweet leaf
nothing except weapons, armor, bardings, and insignificant potions
twilit arch
just going to note, that you won't be able to use any fo the gc specific stuff
if you are not with that gc
sweet leaf
also, how do you rank up from second ltn.?
squadrons
warm iron
oh
jade quartz
Ranks past 2nd Lt. are attained through ranking up your squadron yeah
warm iron
oh
jade quartz
max rank currently is captain
the ranks above that are visible on the ranking list but not accessible for players
sweet leaf
the potions can be used regardless of which gc you're in, and they're ok if you're leveling, but probably not worth it
i think i posted the potion stats a few weeks ago

You can sell dungeon gear from Dzemael Darkhold

You are guaranteed one piece of gear for your current class from a leveling dungeon, ie, dungeons with levels that don't end in 0
tacit venture
Is there a "character lighting" option somewhere? I swear I saw a slider for it..but I don't know exactly where this setting is located. Any idea where exactly it might be ?
obsidian patio
I think it’s either in character settings of the character config or in system config
jade quartz
System config -> display

You can use the fantasia, and not confirm the changes when you try a new race
thin comet
Ohh
dark copper
You can keep changing, until you confirm the changes
thin comet
Means i need to relog on each glamor?
dark copper
Uh, you have to unequip everything
dark copper
Right you can also use retainer fantasia to change your retainer appearance
it's usually around 5-6k on MB
It's also a nice way to preview future characters you want to play in-game
thin comet
Oh!
But i cant glamor them right?
Im transitioning from male to female and most of my glams are for males :(
Also which race has the less clipping but nice hairstyles? Female wisd
twilit arch
you can
jade quartz
most hairstyles are shared across multiple races
twilit arch
just put the gear you want to use as glamour onto your retainer
or glamour it onto some basic items and give it to the retainer
thin comet
Ehhh wait how do i give them those items? I need to assign them a class first?
livid storm
dang i thought it would be ok since we know eachother and its for gil not items
twilit arch
yes you would need to unlock retainer ventures and then assign them a class
thin comet
Ah! Ok I'll do that. Thank you so much :)

ok thanks, just asking cause its been like.....12 hours
silver ruin
yea
vernal urchin
would the time they paid for need to actually come to pass?
silver ruin
he sent me a screen shot of his account showing his service time, 209 days left so
yea thats what im wondering
twilit arch
cos i...may or may not have made a second acct solely for RAF and i used time cards to get the rewards immediately
vernal urchin
but that worked for you?
silver ruin
hm ok if i dont have it by tomorrow il send in a support ticket
twilit arch
yes
vernal urchin
hm
twilit arch
its the same with veteran rewards iirc
in that time cards are counted immediately, whereas subbing with card/crysta it counts at the end of the sub period
silver ruin
^ cause for the laterr 2 it doesnt let you add it till then
gusty storm
how to see hidden materials on a node
twilit arch
its possible something may have changed between and now when i did it for raf? but i don't think they changed anything about how time cards worked in that regards
there's a skill to force hidden materials to show, but outside of that you basically just have to go to each node and hope it spawned
silver ruin
yea i dont think anythings changed, maybe just a bug, not sure
ill send in a ticket tmr if i dont get it, thanks

Hello im new to the game recently came here from world of warcraft
I was wondering how excatly do jobs work?
zinc orbitBOT
frozen wind
Im currently level 16 and wanting to go into a summoner and people say I can play two jobs at once?
silver ruin
for arcanist it branches into 2 jobs
only that class
it branches into summoner and scholar which share exp
silver ruin
Im currently level 16 and wanting to go into a summoner and people say I can pla...
that being said
yes you can
you can be all classes on 1 character
frozen wind
Oh nice that sounds great! Its so different from wow we usually have to make seperate characther for seperate classes
silver ruin
you just gotta do your level 10 class quest from whatever class you started as, then go to the starting guild for arcanist and you acn become arcanist
and you can just switch whenever (besides in a dungeon etc)
midnight lion
it makes sense though, considering how large the story is - FFXIV's just not alt-friendly
silver ruin
^ everything is locked behind main story so its essentially not a good idea to have alts
frozen wind
Im an arcanist currently level 16
thin comet
random question but would u guys choose female miqote @ viera?
zinc orbitBOT

after that you can unlock summoner

yep
thin comet
any particular reason? xD
frozen wind
ouch its gonna be long levelign feels really long so far
silver ruin
i like cats better than rabbits
frozen wind
or maybe im just doing the wrong things
silver ruin
just continue doing the main story quests
frozen wind
ive been doing the levelmeter quests
glacial isle
it speeds up once you get dungeons
thin comet
do they have exclusive hairstyle ? & viera still cant wear hats?
frozen wind
And then i quickly found out duty finder dungeons dont keep giving 1k exp xD
midnight lion
@frozen wind you'll get there quite quickly. also keep an eye on your Main Scenario Quest indicator - there is a thing below that reminds you to do your job quests
it looks like that
frozen wind
so just ignore levemeter quests and only do main scenario?
midnight lion
levequests are only really good for crafters beyond when you hit a certain level
silver ruin
they give you skills
frozen wind
alright gotcha ill focus main scenario then! 😄
silver ruin
tells you your class quest
under the main scenario thing h3ndofry screenshotted
and thats also how you unlock summoner, by doing your job quests
frozen wind
would buying the new expansion now be a good idea?
midnight lion
also, if you haven't already - do Hall of the Novice
silver ruin
id get shadowbringers now if you intend to be playinga lot
midnight lion
but take advantage of the free trial first.
silver ruin
^ can do that if you dont mind social restrictions
midnight lion
yeah
silver ruin
and not being able to use the market board
jade quartz
Shadowbringers isn't new any more--we're now awaiting the new new expansion later this year
frozen wind
it kind of sucks tbh I wanted to try whispering and shouting
and it keeps saying Icant
frozen wind
i think ill just wait a bit while im still leveling
I think new expansion is coming soon
midnight lion
yeah
silver ruin
not til fall
frozen wind
and i dont really wanan spend 100 bucks

you've got atleast 6 months

don't worry, you get to play two games' worth of content for free

if you've got gil, can buy exarchic

silver ruin
yes
tacit venture
asking for a friend, with ffxiv Shadowbringers, if he wanted to play, does he have to buy the base game, heavenswards AND Shadowbringers ?
Or can he just buy base game + shadowbringers? (is there a shadowbringers pack that includes everything?)
twilit arch
Base + shadowbringers
jade quartz
Heavensward is included in the base game
twilit arch
heavensward is included in the base game, stormblood with shadowbringers
because of previous patch cycles @dark copper
jade quartz
He can either buy the base game (starter edition) and Shadowbringers
OR
buy complete edition
twilit arch
SE follows a fairly forumalic pattern
remote lintel
@dark copper everything follows the same cycle
jade quartz
which combines both purchases into one
tacit venture
Oh totally forgot about stormblood, that's good to know then too.
So like you say, base game + Shb = all
or Complete edition = all(obviously lol)
jade quartz
yeah
dark copper
so neither 5.5 or 5.55 will release craftable gearset higher than exarchic?
silver ruin
5.5 exarchic will be upgradable to 520
but it will require trading in more exarchic pieces
- having a base set
tacit venture
great that's all I needed to know to help my friend, I'm considering just buying it for him so I wanted to know which options I have to get him the entire thing
jade quartz
Base game (starter edition) includes A Realm Reborn and Heavensward
"Shadowbringers" standard edition includes Stormblood and Shadowbringers
Complete Edition includes everything
tacit venture
when he tried to play the game again, he purchased stormblood, shows he has it, but the square enix website won't let him download it or says he doesn't own it, it's very weird
dark copper
great that's all I needed to know to help my friend, I'm considering just buying...
keep in mind when you buy the game for your friend, he is permanently off the free trial
silver ruin
^ cant go back
jade quartz
must register the expansion code to your account, and it must be the correct type of code
Steam and non-Steam codes are not compatible
if you register the Steam version with your SE account then you're locked into buying all expansions on Steam
and same for non-Steam
tacit venture
my friend just has really bad luck when it comes to even trying ff
he had a scholar on his first account, played through ARR, and somehow his account got deleted
midnight lion
so neither 5.5 or 5.55 will release craftable gearset higher than exarchic?
there is 530 for augmented tome gear, but that will become 80 poetics once EW launches
dark copper
my friend just has really bad luck when it comes to even trying ff
is he willing to pay for a sub?

so basically I feel really bad my friend can't enjoy ffxiv twice caues square enix screwed around with how he can play..
dark copper
not tomestone gear

so this time, I'm gona hvae to buy the game for him and hope square enix doesn't screw it up -_-

oh. the person that got recruited will get reward as well? @remote lintel

you get different rewards

nope, they've probably been subscribed already

no if they bought sub time
silver ruin
cant use a code once you subscribe
thin comet
oh no we've both started at the same time

if they haven't bought sub time then you can

is it okay to ask if there are any FFXIV deal / sales going on like greenmangaming site or what not here ?

Japan I think

screenshot the weapon please

does it have materia slots?
jade quartz
the materia may be too high-grade for the weapon.

its possible ti doesnt have slots
jade quartz
materia of a given grade have a minimum gear ilvl required

it has two slots but I cant put any materia on my lvl 70+ gear

is it grayed out in the window or what

Can someone explain Scholar's emergency tactics ability for me in simpler terms or at least which situations it'd be used in?

if you're at lvl

twilit arch
i would not attempt to unsync it
little swift
but not for the purpose of on level stuff
jade quartz
Emergency Tactics makes the 125% shield into a direct heal instead of a shield
So the total potency is 300 + (300*1.25) = 675
little swift
I uh, need that dumbed down :v
basically you use emergency before you cast adlo and instead of giving out a shield and heal, all of it becomes a heal
remote lintel
@oak moth you should be queuing for it in the duty finder and not trying to manually find a party
jade quartz
if it's a crit then you also get another (300*1.25) potency from the catalyze effect
so 1050 potency
which is multiplied by the actual crit modifier
wispy flare
ah.. that seems like a more useful explanation ^^ ty!
dark copper
It wasn't working idk
What do you mean it was working?
twilit arch
if you're dps, then you're going to have longer queue times

Food is basically just free additional stats
so you can use it to compensate for lack of some stats

what’s the easiest way to improve desynth skill lv?

Just desynth current dungeon gear
dark copper
Keep desynthing items you get from highest level dungeons you can run
livid storm
so smoked chicken for 2.42 is fine?

yeah
dark copper
Also desynth skill level isn't really that important
You don't really get that much better items with a high desynth skill level
On occasion you get an extra of the same item or a HQ

dps queues are usually 15-20 mins
oak moth
It doesn't matter, couldnt get a party had to start it on my own
slate arrow
just wait in duty finder
oak moth
I'm 10 levels over the instance level anyway
slate arrow
it's doing it's best but unfortunately there's always a chronic lack of tanks or healers depending on the time
dark copper
also people are going to bed now, so dps queues are going to be rather long at the moment
oak moth
It's a bit of waiting between some fights but that's about all
dark copper
Even during prime time, dps queues are usually over 15 minutes
dark copper
It's a bit of waiting between some fights but that's about all
What I would do is go to a populated area, and ask if any healer or tank is willing to queue with you
You will usually find takers, especially in Limsa
People generally like to help out new players in this game
oak moth
I feel like it's more of an achievement to solo anyway
dark copper
You likely won't be able to solo the dungeon 10 levels ahead, unless you are also decked in gear that's also 10 levels ahead
Levels in this game doesn't impact your attributes very much
It's all dependent on gear

There were many complaints about the cast timers heavily reducing mobility.

When was that changed
warped nest
Combat job, crafter, and gatherer
dark copper
they are called omnicrafters
silver ruin
When was that changed
years ago
like 4+ years ago it was changed to all of them
actually
was it ever even limtied?
dark copper
you were limited to one job at 80 before?
silver ruin
i dont remember it being so
warped nest
There were no limit
nimble sentinel
I remember in hw
proud willow
There were restrictions on raising desynthesis on multiple crafters, but never a restriction on leveling them all to the max
warped nest
In Heavensward, there was a 3 specialist limit
oak moth
Potions are the only real item besides food early game?
warped nest
Then Stormblood reduces the number of specialist recipes
Potions are not very useful
You are better off running away
proud willow
Potions have a pretty long cooldown that limits their usefulness
warped nest
Or have your companion chocobo heal you
oak moth
That is not what I asked but thanks.
proud willow
there are a handful of other health restoring consumables but they're restricted to being used in certain content, such as Eureka. nothing at low level
warped nest
What do you mean by real item?
oak moth
An item you can actually use
Maybe the crafting stuff can be used but not by me yet
Something with a function that activates when you click on it
warped nest
Potions and ether
proud willow
there are stat potions to buff a stat for a very short time, with a long cooldown. not a useful amount at low level
warped nest
Then food and medicinal drinks
Later there are usable books to boost your crafter and gatherer exp gain
stable herald
Anyone know whats the skill Tanks use in Bozja for solo content?

Or a damaging item
They exist as key items for certain qiests
stable herald
er, whichever we use, tbh
oak moth
So basically no lol
warped nest
Yeah
stable herald
I really gotta start farming em tbh..
proud willow
Martialist is the DPS essence for tanks
oak moth
I guess that keeps a tight rein on dungeon progression
stable herald
ugh. I only have one Martialist Essence
brave anchor
what has more dps? the phoenix phase or the bahamut phase
stable herald
im not too keen about using it
warped nest
PvE content in this game revolves around mechanical solving, and coordination
proud willow
Spellforge is very useful on tank for the fights that have magiteks
oak moth
Meant to start playing earlier but my stupid razor wouldnt catch my hair properly and so it was more like dragging a flat piece of metal across my face
mental garnet
is there a site that can show me pictures of all the feet slot items? i want new shoes for my omniglam
stable herald
@proud willow What do ya recommend for the Bozja Tank set?
warped nest
what has more dps? the phoenix phase or the bahamut phase
Most probably Bahamut
mental garnet
hmm yeah unfortunately i don't, i'm looking for shoes that i haven't seen yet
is there a way to filter only by feet on eorzeacollection or do i have to look at full sets
proud willow
honestly if you're just going around doing CE/skirmishes, you don't have to worry too much. Just have Spellforge
you could also carry a bunch of Lost Font of Power but it's kind of overkill for normal stuff
leaden ginkgo
Saw someone with an exarchic ring that had red colored material attached to it. One of +60 and the others +20. Is this “overmelding”?
modest igloo
yep
proud willow
yeah, the red materia icon means it is in an overmeld slot
leaden ginkgo
What la of blacksmith would I need to be able to overmeld...
Or whatever profession it is that I need
warped nest
For exarchich, max
stable herald
@proud willow aite. Thanks bud
warped nest
For which crafter is needed for melding, I believe it is listed on the item description
For said gear
leaden ginkgo
dang, I could invest the time I’d need to max out blacksmith... by learning e9s, clearing it and getting the better Edenorm ring instead... xd
mental garnet
it's useful to have max crafters regardless
warped nest
We generally recommend leveling all crafters together
leaden ginkgo
I could definitely use culinarian maxed
warped nest
Otherwise you will be spending money to buy processed raw materials from other crafters
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
For example, to make a ring, you might need ingots from goldsmith or blacksmith, gemstone from goldsmith, glue or catalyst from alchemist
Most high level recipes need supplies from multiple crafters
leaden ginkgo
If my focus was raids alone, the two best crafters are culinarian and blacksmith right? The others sound like they are good to make Gil and/or glamours but those two seems focus on food and melding
Just to know which ones to start with
