Hi,
It's been a long time since I played. I try to log in in the launcher and it asks for my square enix ID. I don't know my ID.
I click the "forgot ID/password" link, but that procedure only offers to reset my password when I fill in my email, it never tells me my ID.
The page tells me to contact support if I don't know my ID, but support doesn't work during the weekends.
Can someone please tell me my ID, I'm getting desparate here
remote lintel
you would have to contact support
smoky veldt
sorry if my rant sounds bitter, but I've spent an hour on this, can't even download the client yet since I need to log in:
why do they make this so hard? Why can't they just let me log in with my email? Or at least send a "this is your ID" mail if I don't know my id
remote lintel
wait

What's the Boza poetic material?
remote lintel
the mog station site lets you sign in with your email iirc
raven sage
What's the Boza poetic material?
Do you mean the thavnairian scalepowder for the relics?
plain python
since you only get 450 revelation per week, it will take 3 months to fully gear cryptlurker?
signal aspen
Do you mean the thavnairian scalepowder for the relics?
is that for the weapon?
raven sage
For the base weapon

If you're only using crypt and not mixing with savage drops

You forget that you'll only be able to get one coin a week for the augment from the nier raid in 5.5
But that's again assuming no savage raid

can I buy the base boza scale powder without having beaten shadowbringers msq?
I'm at ildyshire and don't see it

I don't think so
modest igloo
you need to unlock bozja after beating 5.1 msq
warm snow
You won't have any use for it til after ShB msq
Just save 1000 poetics as that's how many you'll need for a single weapon

okay thank you because I'm on mt gulg on this character
never did much of shadowbringers on main character when shadowbringers came out

You'll be able to get your artifact gear soon which includes a weapon all ilevel 430 which should get you through 5.1 easy enough

i have like 4 weapons worth of stuff in my retainer for "a rainy day"
oh
they should still be available for purchase
leaden ginkgo
hm, I'll investigate :'3 thank you both though for the tips!

ah i see
if you're finished with heavensward you should be able to unlock anima weapon questline
leaden ginkgo
my friends keep telling me to put off doing my anima weapon and just try to finish msq first*
I'm in shadow bringers @.@
deep gyro
i mean if ur done with heavensward theres no harm in just starting up the anima weapon questline
just so you can buy certain tokens so you don't overcap poetics
but yeah msq and class quests are the most important

edgy sail
I cast a dyeable glamour on undyeable armor and can't figure out how to dye it, can anybody help?
remote lintel
dye the glamour?
edgy sail
Do you need to dye it before you place it in the dresser?
warm iron
yellow exp bar is rested, what is blue?
open ember
No
deep gyro
you dye it while it is in there
open ember
You can dye it on the plate
remote lintel
you can dye it before or after your put it in
faint flare
yellow exp bar is rested, what is blue?
You have enough rested xp to level
If you use it all
warm iron
ok thanks
edgy sail
Alright, let me try that
warm iron
also, does potd have positionals? all the target circles are just circles
deep gyro
it means there are no positionals
modest igloo
not even flanks?
deep gyro
and you will get your extra effect for hitting positionals for free
open ember
If it doesn't have any arrows on the target circle on the boss there's no positionals
remote lintel
@edgy sail i would say that if you dye it on the plate and then take the item out of the plate the dye will be gone
so if you want your item to always be dyed then dye it in the dresser
deep gyro
whether it's potency increase or increase in gauges
warm iron
me neither, thank you
open ember
Like for example, bosses loged into the wall have no positionals
Because there's no arrows
remote lintel
some bosses are omnidirectional yes

tired jay
hello, id like to unlock the ixali vendor, ive reached lvl41 done the stone vigil and im lvl30leatherworker and i cant get the quest from scarlet to show up!
open ember
Here's a simplified image
edgy sail
The only options I have when I right click are Apply glamour, restore item, and Try on
remote lintel
then you havent unlocked dye
edgy sail
That could explain it lol
deep gyro
or your glamour item is not dyeable
remote lintel
do "color your world" in vesper bay
edgy sail
I have some in my inventory, I assumed I could just use it heh
edgy sail
Yeah, I have checked, high allagan coat is dyeable
remote lintel
@tired jay did you actually finish and turn in the quest
tired jay
yeah im almost done with ARR
remote lintel
can you screenshot what scarlet says
tired jay
its not even the right quest tho
twilit arch
let the hunt begin isn't the quest they are looking for
open coral
Oh
deep gyro
are they even in vesper bay?
tired jay
i have all the requirments that the wiki says
maybe i need to unlock some other crafters just incase?
remote lintel
did you already accept the quest
raven sage
Are you sure you didn't pick it up already
twilit arch
doesn't need castrum to be completed to pick up
modest igloo
i could have sworn you needed to to start, but you've already proven that wrong
tired jay
i'll pick up others crafter classes just in case
craggy vault
I'm doing the Anima questline (Soul Without Life) and was wondering if anyone from Ramuh would wanna do together or help out? I only have healers and no attackers. FATEs
remote lintel
@tired jay go to completed quests and click the beast tribe tab and click ixal quests in the drop down
and screenshot it
raven sage
How many crafters you have wouldn't matter
tired jay
raven sage
That's why we ask lol
tired jay
im so sorry for bothering u, but wheres my reputation score
twilit arch
so go to north shroud then, second quest should be there
raven sage
yeah it doesn't immediately unlock them
twilit arch
cos bad bladder is the initial quest, but not the unlock itself
remote lintel
do "reaching for cloud nine"
raven sage
That's the intro quest
twilit arch
"reaching cloud nine" is the one that unlocks the rep
edgy sail
I actually did have dye unlocked
I even tested and I could dye my staff
Maybe I'll just let them stay the way they are by default
remote lintel
screenshot the item
tired jay
oh, and the next quest shows up only when ur a crafter
remote lintel
"heavy high allagan coat" isnt dyeable
edgy sail
High allagan coat of healing
deep gyro
if you hover over the item it says dyeable or not
remote lintel
high allagan coat of healing isnt dyeable either
remote lintel
if the item is dyeable it will have a circle in the corner of the item
edgy sail
This is so complicated
edgy sail
I checked eorzea collection and it said it was dyeable
remote lintel
REPLICA is dyeable
edgy sail
How would I get the replica?

Just recently learned there's triple triad in this game! I fucking love it! Can I get more cards and play?
One of my absolute favourite FF minigames
open coral
You can!
modest igloo
yeah, gold saucer sells some, and you can get some from NPCs and trials
jade quartz
Yes, there are heaps to collect
open coral
There are tons of cards that you can get from various sources.
jade quartz
it can be quite a terrible grind, be warned
modest igloo
i farmed Ifrit EX for the card and got the mount during it lmao
lethal mist
Are any cards missable or one time things I might've missed already?
modest igloo
nope
faint flare
No

No
modest igloo
in 5,5 the drop rate will be boosted too

Awesome thank you. I'm gonna go bananas over this
Cross over stuff?
Like special events?
dark copper
Cross over stuff?
Seasonal events
faint flare
Yes
lethal mist
Damn, no way to get those at all?
faint flare
Those dont have cards however
lethal mist
Oh ok
faint flare
Seasonal event items go onto Mogstation
However things like Garo are gone more or less for good
Unless they somehow get thr ability to run again
lethal mist
I don't aim to get every missable. Obviously I won't be able to given how I've missed so many events but at least TT is doable
open coral
I think the only TT card that you cannot get anymore (at least until they decide to run the event again) is the one from the FFXV crossover.

how do you level crafters with Ishgard? do you gather the diadem materials yourself then just craft stuff or is there some other mechanic

Jesus there's so much I haven't done. Just now found the Chocobo menu with it's skills as well... This game is huge and hard to know what to focus on lole
zinc orbitBOT
open coral
Well, it is both a FF game and an MMO
gusty storm
hm then what crafters use the most miner and fisher mats
lethal mist
Yeah. O got Ahriman hotkeyed but no idea how I did that. Afraid of replacing the hotkey with Chocobo so I can use it in battle and level it up cause at least Ahriman flies.
open coral
All mounts fly
lethal mist
Oh
remote lintel
you just drag the mount onto the hotbar
lethal mist
But only Chocobo helps in battle yes?
open coral
But mount summon chocobo and combat summon chocobo use different items
remote lintel
chocobo the COMPANION helps in battle
chocobo the MOUNT is a mount
you use gysahl greens to summon it to battle
dark copper
The first chocobo you get can be both a mount and a battle companion
It's immensely useful for soloing FATEs
Just pick the healer spec for your chocobo
lethal mist
I've got 0 friends to play with so picking healer sounds like the best option atm. Should I level it's healer specs too?
Those that cost SP
open coral
Yes
That's how you pick a spec.
By choosing skills from that tree.
It is strongly recommended to do healer > dps > tank for your chocobo, because it's pretty worthless as a tank.
wintry chasm
Yeah, you can do them all eventually but the tank route sucks so save that for last

Are those skills alao ones that I command? It seems like it cause it says "Orders chocobo to grqnt regen to garget" which seems like I would have to bind a whole lotta keys for Chocobo as well?

It's going to largely depend on the fight. One of the things you have to learn as a healer is when you need to heal people up, and when you can leave them at low-ish health for a bit.
Usually you'll have plenty of time to react.

Her face is never shown
twilit arch
ever see her face, only reason we have an idea of what she would look like is because cid comments he almost called lucia, livia
i assume you're pulling that picture from the twitter acct, which is just someone's character roleplaying as her
not what livia actually looks like

@open coral yeah this is completely bugged
its not tracking the enemies i'm killing

Like I said, I don't remember the particulars of that phase, so I can only think of the obvious kinds of things like maybe you're killing the wrong enemies, or maybe you need to have the weapon equipped, but you don't.

There seems to be 2 mentalities in every castrum run these days
The old 'stop dps bottom' mentality and the 'oh shut up the enrage is static either way'
I don't know which is correct
warm snow
The only real wipe danger in castrum is if amateurs go up during the final boss

lyon check is lenient
open coral
The "stop dps bottom" mentality was only valid when there wasn't enough dps up top. With a full instance, it's very rare to not have enough dps on both top and bottom to clear it easily.

the only real wipers is lyon party for some reason doesnt have enough dps

So it is true that if they die too far apart, it will still wipe, correct?

Fellowships are different from FCs
they are essentially in-game message boards
FCs are the main social aspect in this game
if you've played WoW before, they are like guilds
Also, there is an oversupply of FCs in this game, if you hang around one of the main cities, you will get a FC invite very quickly
or just /shout in the chat log and ask for an invite
You will likely receive multiple invites

the orange danger markers, do you still get hit if you move out of the zone after the orange stuff disappeared
deep gyro
yes
faint flare
Once it disappeared your position is snapshotted
faint flare
You can move back in after the marker goes away
deep gyro
usually when you see the animation its too late
river valley
Best thing to do is check the cast bar. Once the cast bar is completed, it's safe again (with few exceptions)
devout lichen
so what matters is where I was when the danger zone was there
deep gyro
not all aoes have cast bars
devout lichen
not what the animation is doing
deep gyro
but cast bars are important
i would separate it from the boss hp bar and put it somewhere more centred, it helps a lot with mechanics
faint flare
What matters is where you were just before it disappeared..as once it starts going away its too late
deep gyro
tldr just get out of the orange marker before it disappears
devout lichen
so if I was outside the zone and the zone goes away, I can move back regardless of the animation thats happening

Yes
Only exception is channeled casts which constantly do damage in that area for abit
deep gyro
it will look like you got hit by the animation
yeah but you will learn from experience
the names of those casts and which fights that happens in
or if the cast leaves behind a puddle that makes that area deal damage and/or give debuffs to players standing inside
dont move back there in that case

Can tank damage resistance abilities stack?
Multiplicatively. So if you have one 20% redux and a 30% redux, what happens is you're really multiplying damage by 0.8 and 0.7, which means you end up taking 56% damage.
little swift
This doesn't mean stacking them is bad
short jasper
This doesn't mean stacking them is bad
Not at all.
little swift
But typically in dungeons you want to have mitigation over a longer time
short jasper
There are times where this is actually good to do
modest igloo
usually if you need to use multiple defensive buffs you should have used invlun
little swift
Than be a rock for 15s and a leaf after
modest igloo
but some fights require both, in exs/savage
short jasper
And sometimes you'll stack party damage redux's for some types of damage
Stacking multiplicatively works the other way for offensive buffs too. So three 15% damage buffs would end up being 52% extra damage.

Stat tiering probably refers to how only at certain numbers will the stat actually affect ur character
@leaden ginkgo
slate arrow
what is stat tiering?
If you're below x number, any number between x and y is not considered, the game uses Y to calculate your stats
leaden ginkgo
"below x number" = "below x stat" ?
slate arrow
as an example, say 20 grants you 50% crit rate, and 40 grants you 55% crit rate
if you're at 30, the game will still give you a 50% crit rate
leaden ginkgo
20... what?
faint flare
20 stat points
leaden ginkgo
what the
faint flare
Every stat has a specific number you need to hit for it to actually increase its effectiveness
slate arrow
The game ignores the numbers in between stat tiers
robust magnet
basically think of it as brackets like [1-50] [51-150] [151-600]? 
leaden ginkgo
so its pretty binary
faint flare
Which are the tiers
leaden ginkgo
o i see
robust magnet
with each bracket giving higher stat than the other. I guess?
leaden ginkgo
cuz im looking at mnk BiS on balance and the wep says to apply det melds which doesn't make sense cuz the prio is crit > dh > det
robust magnet
Also, on the topic of stats.
Is it not possible to get a +2 from PC on the new Exarchic mats?
slate arrow
Mogstation, SE Account page, or SE Store page?
robust magnet
did you check if that weapon even has room for crit of DH?
leaden ginkgo
yeah i can put dh on it
raw solstice
it's not just det tiering really, that leads to melding "unexpected melds"
slate arrow
Hitting a certain amount of Det grants more DPS than stacking DH
DH is a weird stat since it only increases chance, not damage
Det increases damage overall
leaden ginkgo
ooh they're looking for a minimum det to reach that stat tier?
raw solstice
but basically any stat priority is only going to be a rough guideline, not something you can strictly follow. For an optimized set, you aim to look at maximizing the overall damage multiplier, while keeping in mind stat tiers
faint flare
You want to get as close to a tier threshold as possible
raw solstice
it's mostly not about tiering, but tiering can play a role
faint flare
As anything over that threshold which doesn't push you to another tier is effectively dead
