[twilit arch]

xivstyle wasn't up to date anyway

[heavy wadi]

yeah

[dark copper]

isn't eorzea collection just user submitted?

[twilit arch]

when EC imported their stuff

[remote lintel]

they have gear sets

[cobalt pagoda]

at leaat it had up to 5.1, were most don’t even exist, plus the search function was what I wanted

[heavy wadi]

the ec page has a search function

[cobalt pagoda]

T^T damn now looking for individual pieces is gone

[heavy wadi]

otherwise you can look at the gamerescape wiki which has pics of the gearsets on all races and genders

[cobalt pagoda]

gamerscape is the only one lest I guess

[twilit arch]

https://www.ffxivcollection.com/ is pretty up to date, and links to lodestone

[cobalt pagoda]

the loadstone don’t always have picture for the individual equipment

[remote lintel]

again

there's an entire list of sites in the #glamour-discussion pins

[vital ruin]

Are trains shb content or eureka

[faint flare]

Depends on the train typr

[cunning raptor]

IS there any faster leveling from 70-80 than Bozja?

[heavy wadi]

roulettes and spamming the highest level dungeon?

otherwise not really

[faint flare]

Bojza is basically 71+s hoh/potd

[cunning raptor]

Alright, just wanted to make sure. With DPS Queues Ill probably stick to Bozja then. Thanks 🙂

[frosty crater]

Hi, it seems during ARR we are pretty much the good guys. Does the story at some point get more gray if that makes sense?

[faint flare]

Perhaps

[heavy wadi]

maybe at the end of arr and early on in shb

[cunning raptor]

It gets more "grayish" but It's still a Final Fantasy game.

[heavy wadi]

but not really, it's still very much a "light vs dark" thing

[frosty crater]

hm

[heavy wadi]

there's no committing genocide and burning down trees like wow has lol

[frosty crater]

for some reason that sounds a bit boring to me

even though I like the story

anyway thx ^^

[faint flare]

Just keep going

[heavy wadi]

trust me, it isn't super boring

keep going

[frosty crater]

okay

so it's not a predictable story?

[heavy wadi]

not really

[frosty crater]

because always being the good guy sounds predictable xD

[heavy wadi]

they throw a lot of curveballs

[hollow violet]

What's this symbol by a monster name? haven't encountered it before

[faint flare]

Mainly eye at Shadowbringers

But keep going

[faint flare]

Hunt mob, its a B rank

[cursive abyss]

Why do people say that if you die in the Ozma fight, you dont get the mount? That is false. I had to eat an orb for the team, and I still got the mount:

[frosty crater]

okay thanks

[cunning raptor]

HW and ShB Story are amazing, dont worry too much about the ARR Slog.

[radiant kayak]

where can i find pictures of all the grand company gear?

[faint flare]

Cause you're still in the arena

[cunning raptor]

It picks up a lot 🙂

[frosty crater]

I don't mind ARR but I feel like it is predictable.

[faint flare]

If you die before a black hole cast you're kicked out

[heavy wadi]

arr is like

[vocal venture]

Is there any way to make the gear i pick up go to the inventory instead of the armory

[faint flare]

Thus no achievement

[heavy wadi]

the pilot episode, it's setting things up and establishing stuff

[plain python]

ARR is just mostly world-building and character introduction

[faint flare]

Yes in character config

[frosty crater]

yeah that makes sense

[vocal venture]

ty 🙂

[heavy wadi]

so just take it as that, and know that it does pick up

[frosty crater]

Last time I played I was extremely bored with the ARR story. But now playing through it again I think it's alright. You just need to know that it's essentially an introduction

[faint flare]

Arr is season 1 of netflix show

[heavy wadi]

also it's the first content for the game

[twilit arch]

@vocal venture untick "store all newly obtained items in the armoury chest"

[heavy wadi]

so they were still figuring out pacing and all that when writing it

[frosty crater]

What I like a lot about this game is that it's not like in WoW where "the game begins at endgame"

[faint flare]

The story is the game

A large part of ot

[remote lintel]

this is a final fantasy game

[frosty crater]

But there is typical MMO endgame too right?

[heavy wadi]

ff first, mmo second

[remote lintel]

yes

[heavy wadi]

yeah there's raids with harder difficulties

[remote lintel]

but it's a final fantasy game first

[frosty crater]

by the way what are you doing at endgame? Basically raids and trials?

[remote lintel]

whatever you want

[heavy wadi]

raids, trials, relics, gil making, alliance raids, etc

[faint flare]

Raids, trials, other side content

[cursive abyss]

Are Art and Owain original bosses or were they from FFXI in the Chains of Promethia Expansion?

[heavy wadi]

if you're skilled enough you can do the hardest stuff in the game, ultimates

[frosty crater]

and there's also MSQ at endgame right? They release it in patches?

[scarlet arrow]

also remember that along with not particularly knowing what they were doing when it comes to story pacing they were also rebuilding basically everything about the game

[remote lintel]

yes

[frosty crater]

awesome

[remote lintel]

they release post story stuff in patches

until the next expac

[frosty crater]

I like how the Calamity is basically a reference to the first FFXIV version being trashed. Isn't that what's going on? xD

[remote lintel]

kinda

[faint flare]

Yes

They literally wrote it into lore basically

[remote lintel]

they canonically reset the game

by making an apocalypse

[heavy wadi]

I mean, they really did destroy the world

[frosty crater]

wdym, they redesigned the zones?

[heavy wadi]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xOOFCltZuc

[scarlet arrow]

yes

[whole wasp]

Yep

Rebuilt the whole thing almost from scratch

[faint flare]

People who played 1.0 got a different opening cutscenes

[remote lintel]

there's been 6 other calamities in history and they used it as a way to reset the game

[drifting ruin]

is POTD really the fastest way to level a dps

[remote lintel]

no

[frosty crater]

So 1.0 was before the calamity actually?

[remote lintel]

potd is only for dps with long queues

[whole wasp]

The calamnity that ended 1.0 is the 7th calamnity

[heavy wadi]

yep

[remote lintel]

before the 7th calamity

[whole wasp]

Yup

[drifting ruin]

don't all dps have long queues

[remote lintel]

no

[frosty crater]

christ that's awesome xD

[faint flare]

Not all the time

[frosty crater]

great writers

[heavy wadi]

that youtube vid i posted, is the cinematic that played when 1.0 ended

[faint flare]

Beg a healer/tank friend for que carries

[remote lintel]

iirc the story for 1.0 was you trying to prevent the calamity and failing

[heavy wadi]

get to see the world be destroyed

[frosty crater]

oh I'll watch it now

[whole wasp]

Dps have ok alliance queues too

[frosty crater]

And the "warriors of light" who saved everyone else in the Calamity were the 1.0 players? 😮

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

Yep

[whole wasp]

Yup

[heavy wadi]

yeah

[faint flare]

1.0 people got different opening cutscenes

[remote lintel]

the 1.0 players got their characters memories wiped

[faint flare]

As a throwback

[heavy wadi]

and a timeskip

[twilit arch]

weeellll flames of truth didn't play at the end of 1.0, end of an era did. flames of truth has more on it than end of an era

and it plays in coil

[faint flare]

Minifilla recognised them

[whole wasp]

They also have a custom tattoo

[scarlet arrow]

the credits for 2.0 have a list of all of the 1.0 players who stuck around

[whole wasp]

Option* for a custom tattoo

[heavy wadi]

iirc the tattoo is just on your model permanently

on the back of your neck

[remote lintel]

it's a toggle

[twilit arch]

its a toggle

[heavy wadi]

ah

[frosty crater]

that's real prestige

[remote lintel]

1.0 sucked ass tho that's why they reset it

[whole wasp]

They also have permanent reduced sub fees

[faint flare]

And 1.0 people have a permanent chaper sub

[heavy wadi]

yeah it was like, pseudo turn based mmo combat

and you couldn't jump

[faint flare]

They really made sure to thank 1.0 people

[rough fossil]

So I just unlocked my first set of Savage dungeons and am a bit confused - is there any point in doing these other than getting to say you did them?

[faint flare]

For the failure 1.0 waa

[remote lintel]

@rough fossil for getting bis gear

[frosty crater]

tbf what still bothers me in this game is invisible walls ... but it's a great game still xD

maybe we need a 8th calamity lol

[faint flare]

About that

[remote lintel]

also the calamity is why coerthas is cold and there's a huge gash in the thanalan desert

[heavy wadi]

they can be pretty annoying but blame the engine they use :p

[faint flare]

Keep doing story

[rough fossil]

Oh so they do drop stuff?

[remote lintel]

coerthas used to be pretty lush

[heavy wadi]

wait, do you mean savage raids or extreme trials? @rough fossil

[faint flare]

Savage drops the best gear od that tier

[rough fossil]

Savage

[scarlet arrow]

the 7th calamity is the reason why there isn't a West Shroud, Coerthas Eastern Highlands, etc.

[faint flare]

And upgrade items for Tomestone gear

And a mount on the 4th fight

[heavy wadi]

if it's the level 80 savage raids then yeah, you get your bis gear from that

[rough fossil]

I unlocked the 2nd Coil of Bahamut (Savage) but it said there was no real reward or anything

[faint flare]

Thosr give titles

[heavy wadi]

^

and outdated gear

[frosty crater]

by the way, do zones look better graphics-wise in the expansions? Textures and stuff?

[faint flare]

Current savage raids give BiS gear

[remote lintel]

coils gives 1.0 story

[rough fossil]

For each one or for the whole set?

[remote lintel]

@frosty crater it's basically the same

[whole wasp]

Cool looking gear but outdated

[heavy wadi]

sometimes but mostly not, the ground textures are still bad

[frosty crater]

ah unfortunate. Guess it's because of consoles...

[heavy wadi]

ppl use mods like reshade to improve the look of the game

[faint flare]

Each floor drops different pieces

[leaden ginkgo]

How do I get my class armour in bozja

[hollow violet]

Just unlocked the Thunder II spell - is it worth using this and Thunder or still best to stick with fire and blizzard?

[remote lintel]

that's for aoe

[faint flare]

Its aoe thunder

Use in aoe

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo if you mean the bozjan gear you have to do castrum

[rough fossil]

What about those allagan pieces you’re supposed to use to boost gear? I have been discarding those...

[faint flare]

Bojza coins from castrum

[leaden ginkgo]

How many coins do they cost

Each piece

[remote lintel]

allagan pieces are meant to be sold?

[faint flare]

Not many

For 495

[remote lintel]

oh the tomes

[whole wasp]

Thunder 1 for 1 guy. Thunder 2 for many guys

[faint flare]

Like around 20+

[warm snow]

Cheap to buy, expensive to augment

[remote lintel]

you can't discard tomes

[leaden ginkgo]

Why would I want to augment them? Will the look change?

[hollow violet]

Thunder 1 is worth using on it's own? It does such a tiny damage compared to fire and ice

[frosty crater]

btw. that guy who always pops up in the FFXIV trailers, is that the player?

[faint flare]

Dye

[remote lintel]

@hollow violet it's a dot so yes

[heavy wadi]

no, they mean those augment things you can get from coil

[faint flare]

Its more potent than fire

If you let it tick

[remote lintel]

@frosty crater yes

[whole wasp]

Yes. It actually does a goos amount

[faint flare]

• thundercloud procs

[warm snow]

Lol imagine doing coil

[rough fossil]

Yeah they look like rectangular allagan pieces and they were taking up too much space and didn’t seem useful

[faint flare]

They're for old gear

[remote lintel]

coils is done mostly for story

[gloomy ice]

Those are for crafting dyeable cosmetic versions of the gear that drops from Coils

[warm snow]

They're for stupid old gear

[gloomy ice]

Safe to discard if you don't want the cosmetics

[warm snow]

Like 6+ years

[frosty crater]

Can someone tell me why the bad guys want an apocalypse? Won't they die too?

[remote lintel]

which bad guys

there's many

[warm snow]

Explained in shadowbringers

[frosty crater]

the guys with the machines in ARR, I think they want the calamity right

[warm snow]

If you mean the ascians

No

[wintry chasm]

No

[warm snow]

That's the empire

[faint flare]

The empire and Ascians are all explained later

[rough fossil]

Oh from the guy in Shroud who does the Relic Reborn quests?

[frosty crater]

oh alrighty

[faint flare]

Keep going

[warm snow]

They just to take over the world cuz they're dicks

[remote lintel]

the empire wants to take over eorzea

[wintry chasm]

Well

[remote lintel]

because they're racist

[frosty crater]

😮

[wintry chasm]

Hang on hang on

There is a very good video that covers this for new people

[warm snow]

They are standard final fantasy evil empire version 14

[frosty crater]

I've never played a FF before 😄

[rough fossil]

I couldn’t figure out why I would want that stuff but if they’re durable I guess that’s something

Dyeable

[warm snow]

I mean yeah, but most of the coils are easy to farm solo so don't worry if you need to come back to them

[wintry chasm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXc0loyuq9I @frosty crater This is an OFFICIAL recap video of the story before the game takes place and explains about why the empire dropped a moon and whatnot on the continent. It's pretty informative

I suggest you check it and then come back later if you got more questions

[warm snow]

In sukmation: rocks fall everyone dies

Good night everybody

[frosty crater]

thanks a lot

[remote lintel]

yeah the empire didnt mean to unleash a calamity

[wintry chasm]

Just ping me and I'd be happy to answer as much as you need

[frosty crater]

great video btw. I assume that's the players with the neck tattoo who fuck up the dragon

[remote lintel]

no

the people with the neck tattoos are npcs

[wintry chasm]

^

[remote lintel]

you meet them in the story

[wintry chasm]

Yeah idk where you are in story so far

[scarlet arrow]

A common Final Fantasy trope is that Empires are always evil 😛

[frosty crater]

oh, I've never seen the old dude. I have seen the guy who builds (or flies) the ships before though

[remote lintel]

yeah the old dude

isnt around anymore

[frosty crater]

rip

[pulsar escarp]

the neck tattoo people are your BEST FRIEND npcs though so get attached

[frosty crater]

I actually don't remember seeing any neck tattoos in game

maybe I'm blind

[wintry chasm]

You're blind

[pulsar escarp]

uhhh thancred? yda? sort of.. everyone has one somewhere almost

[wintry chasm]

Thancred, Y'shtola, Papalymo, Yda

[remote lintel]

if you met the scions of the seventh dawn, those are the people

[frosty crater]

oh damn

[pulsar escarp]

doesn't urianger also? smack on his face

[remote lintel]

yes

[wintry chasm]

Not ALL the Scions have it but most of the important ones do

[remote lintel]

they were originally a group called "the circle of knowing" founded by said old guy

[pulsar escarp]

yeah pretty much

what do they signify, archon smth?

[leaden ginkgo]

Does augmenting bozjan gear change its appearance?

[pulsar escarp]

oh yeah

[wintry chasm]

Yep

[pulsar escarp]

right right

[frosty crater]

I don't want spoilers but... Do any of the characters ever die?

[wintry chasm]

Yes

[frosty crater]

😮

[pulsar escarp]

SO MANY fucking die, you won't know which though LMAO dont' get spoiled

[remote lintel]

i mean yeah people die in the story

[frosty crater]

jesus hahaha

[pulsar escarp]

ffxiv likes to take your heart and stomp on it

[wintry chasm]

Ehh

[pulsar escarp]

then spit on it afterwards for good measure

[leaden ginkgo]

.

[remote lintel]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay

Gear looks very underwhelming

[open coral]

Let's put it this way: if you start to love a character, there is a very good chance that they will die.

[pulsar escarp]

Oh yeah that's a safe bet

[remote lintel]

shh

just play the story

[wintry chasm]

anyway

[pulsar escarp]

ANYWAY

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

[open coral]

😄

[frosty crater]

haha

[left cliff]

Best use for tomestones of allegory

[open coral]

Buy materials that sell well on the MB on your server.

Flip them for gil.

[warm snow]

Workbench resin sells for like 2k ish a piece

[left cliff]

Where can you get this mats ?

[warm snow]

Eulmore

[open coral]

Tomestones of Allegory (Other) on the tomestone vendor.

[left cliff]

I see thanks for info

[modest igloo]

they can also be exchanged for 490 gear if you dont have that yet.

[warm snow]

^^ should take priority

[left cliff]

I have the exharch gear

[faint flare]

For being lazy

And housing

[leaden ginkgo]

You can never have enough Gil if you want to look good

[frosty crater]

How many jobs can you realistically play with good gear? Do you effectively need to settle for 1?

[faint flare]

And some glamour if you dont wanna make it yourself

[whole wasp]

Housing. Glamour. Convenience. Not much gilsink in the gamw.

[modest igloo]

as many as you want

[open coral]

All of them, honestly.

It's not hard to get decent gear.

[faint flare]

Multiple if you put the time asside

[remote lintel]

with bis gear it will take you a while but its doable

[modest igloo]

510 gear can be bought with gil and gets you into all savage content

[open coral]

Most people will focus on one or two while currencies are capped though.

Then do others if they have the time.

[frosty crater]

ohhh damn, so it's not that grindy?

[open coral]

I mean, it is but it's also not.

[remote lintel]

this game isnt grindy unless you want it to be

[open coral]

Because weekly caps are a thing.

[wintry chasm]

Generally though if you are raiding you'd probably stick to a couple jobs just because of need and comfortablity

[remote lintel]

its just time gated

[left cliff]

Having troubles finding a fresh static haven’t touched eden yet

[whole wasp]

Its timegated so you cant burn out grinding

Just make the quota for the day/week and relax the rest of the way

[frosty crater]

If you can just buy 510 gear, that seems very cool. Kind of like in a sandbox MMO

[remote lintel]

buying is the impatient way

[faint flare]

We're super far into the tier so not many statics are recruiting

[remote lintel]

theres plenty of ways to get better gear without money

and crafted/bought gear is never the best

its just a good entry

[frosty crater]

Ah I see. How do crafters make money though? Mainly with this gear?

[remote lintel]

by knowing the market

[faint flare]

Selling stuff

[open coral]

We're pretty much at the end of the expansion at this point, so the gear cycle is winding down to the final stages.

[oblique yew]

when will shadowbringers ost be available on spotify?

[remote lintel]

when SE deems it

[leaden ginkgo]

It’s available on Apple Music

[whole wasp]

Thats one way. Theres also ceafting the latest glam items etc

[wintry chasm]

It's literally just finding a good thing to sell, not anything specific

Some things as Smug is saying generally sells well but like...yeah

[whole wasp]

You might be able to make steady income with raid consumables but its a bloated market.

[remote lintel]

knowing the market and patch cycles goes a long way

[frigid path]

It’s really easy to make money if you’re attentive

[remote lintel]

and timing

[frozen wind]

Just newly dinged summoner

what pet should I use for what situations?

ST and AoE wise

[remote lintel]

ifrit for st, garuda for aoe

[open coral]

Garuda for ST, Ifrit for AoE

[warm snow]

Ifrit and garuda

[faint flare]

Ifirit for singoe

[warm snow]

In that order

[faint flare]

Garuda aoe

[frigid path]

The market initially scared me but these days I make about 250k-500k Gil a day

[frozen wind]

Is garuda the emerald fox?

[open coral]

Oh, sorry, other way around

[faint flare]

Yes

[open coral]

Yeah

Green is for AoE

[faint flare]

It upgrades to garuda

[warm snow]

Nugget for memes

[open coral]

Red is for ST.

[warm snow]

And safety in potd solo

[frozen wind]

okay so keep using fox for AoE

[faint flare]

Titan is burst aoe and survival

[frozen wind]

Idk waht titan is

[open coral]

Gold used to be useful, but now it's kind of whatever.

[frozen wind]

*what

[remote lintel]

yellow

[faint flare]

Orange

[warm snow]

He is nugget

[frozen wind]

what is nugget?

Sorry im still a sprout xD

[warm snow]

Yes

[remote lintel]

hes shaped like a rock/potato

[warm snow]

Titan

[faint flare]

Summom 2

[frozen wind]

Im assuming its a summon i get later on?

[faint flare]

Upgrades to titan

And he's a nugget

[remote lintel]

yes

[open coral]

Summon 1 upgrades from Emerald Carbuncle to Garuda.

[faint flare]

Summon 1 upgrades to Garuda

[warm snow]

Yeah, your arcanist summons upgrade to garuda and titan

[faint flare]

2 upgrades to titan

[frozen wind]

Ohhh gotcha!

[open coral]

Summon 2 upgrades from Topaz Carbuncle to Titan.

[faint flare]

3 is ifirit

[open coral]

Summon 3 is Ifrit

[remote lintel]

titan

[frozen wind]

alright I thought ifrit had some sick aoe damage with fire wave but it looks like fox is better

[faint flare]

https://www.akhmorning.com/jobs/smn/guide/levelling-up/#pet-usage

[frozen wind]

oh my god you guys were right he does look like a deep fried chicken nugget

[faint flare]

All of Garudas attaxks are aoe

[frosty crater]

Are these white glowing lvl 80 weapons you see everywhere hard to get? They look rly cool

[warm snow]

Once you hit level 50 you'll be able to do a a quest to make your summons look like carbuncles again

[faint flare]

Which is why she's superior

[faint flare]

The one with cogs? alexander ultimate

[warm snow]

You're gonna have to be a lot more specific

[frosty crater]

😄

[remote lintel]

@frosty crater if they look like frozen/crystallized weapons theyre from ultimates, which are the hardest content in the game

[frozen wind]

Oh cool, Egi assault is off the gcd? 😮

[faint flare]

No

[remote lintel]

egi assault are gcds

[faint flare]

Thats old info

[warm snow]

There's tons of glowing weapons

[frosty crater]

oh rip. Yeah like a white glowing crystal material

[faint flare]

They're gcd

[frosty crater]

something with eden in the name I recall

[warm snow]

That's probably ultima

[frozen wind]

Ah im reading the guide you guys linked and it says to hardcast ruin then egi

[remote lintel]

oh

if its from eden then its from savage raids

[warm snow]

Also known as uwu

[faint flare]

Thats just your next gcd

[remote lintel]

which arent as hard

[warm snow]

Eden weapons are the current best, but it's probably glamoured to look like ultima

[remote lintel]

maybe ^

[faint flare]

Off globals are weaved with Egi assaults or ruin 2/4

[warm snow]

If a dude has beaten uwu decent chance he probably has his edenmorn weapon by now

[faint flare]

If you hover over glamoured items and wait it tells you the glamoured items name

[warm snow]

If it has a cross in the top right it's glamoured to look like something else

[remote lintel]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[remote lintel]

and no you dont reset level

[frozen wind]

would I still egi assault if theres only one target?

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[frozen wind]

Since ill probally be using emerald

[faint flare]

They're your best gcds

With ifirit

[frozen wind]

okay it just feels like im wasting the aoe

[remote lintel]

you use all your egi assaults and then switch to ruin

[faint flare]

You always use ifirit whenever you're vs single tarfet

[open coral]

If you're doing damage to an enemy, it's not a waste.

[faint flare]

If you're synced under the level for ifirit then you use Summon 2

[whole wasp]

They share levels. BLM is exactly THM but with exact skills and a fancy name.

[faint flare]

Just read the Akhmorning.com guide

You can swap after doing your lv10 quest

So

To a new class

[remote lintel]

@wild turret to change class you need to have done your lvl 10 class quest and then you go to the guild you want

[whole wasp]

You can change jobs once you complete lvl 10 class quest. Just talk to another job trainer. You start at lvl 1 for those

[remote lintel]

and yeah each class has its own level

[whole wasp]

Except the expansion jobs thay start higher

[remote lintel]

yes

[whole wasp]

Yea unles you pick the expansion jobs. Dark knight starts at lvl 30 for example.

[rocky zenith]

idk if it was said but whatever class is at the Highest Level. all other classes get more exp for levels below that

[whole wasp]

Then you would start at lvl 1

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

[rocky zenith]

yes that is what its called

[frosty crater]

So, everyone with a neck tattoo is an archon?

[remote lintel]

yes

which basically means they have a phd in whatever field of study they were in

[wintry chasm]

^

[frosty crater]

but in the "old world" right

[wintry chasm]

In Sharlayan yeah

[frosty crater]

is Eorza just a continent?

[wintry chasm]

Which is also known as The Old World which is really small

[remote lintel]

yes

[frosty crater]

nice

do we ever leave Eorza? xD

[remote lintel]

yes

[wintry chasm]

Technically Eorzea is a region that comprises the continent of Aldenard and it's outlying islands but yeah it's BASICALLY a continent

[remote lintel]

in stormblood you go to the eastern continent of othard

which is based off asia

[peak quest]

How i can use ships ?

[frosty crater]

The old leader of the scions, is that the old guy in the 1.0 video that was linked?

[wintry chasm]

Yes and no

[remote lintel]

he was the old leader/founder

[wintry chasm]

No

Hang on

The Scions was formed by the merging of two groups, The Circle of Knowing that was lead by Louisoix, aka the old dude, and The Path of the Twelve which was led by Minfilia

[warm snow]

Who you will or have already met

[remote lintel]

yeah so he was one of the founders

[wintry chasm]

Right you know Minfilia

[wintry chasm]

Ye but not THE founder

Especially as the Scions

So basically after the calamity and Louisoix died the two groups just came together with Minfilia leading it

[frosty crater]

oh damn I've heard the name Louisoix before

[remote lintel]

hes the old man and grandfather to the twins

[wintry chasm]

The Circle of the Knowing members are the ones with the neck tats, everyone else is either new to the group, Minfilia, or Tataru

[frosty crater]

oh okay

I thought Tataru is just an unimportant secretary lol

so she has no tattoo

[warm snow]

How dare you

[wintry chasm]

You will regret your words and deeds when you find out she is the destroyer of worlds

[remote lintel]

tataru like single handedly kept the organization running

[warm snow]

[whole wasp]

Tataru controls the finanace. shes the real head of the organisation i swear.

[remote lintel]

and she can and will find you

no matter where you are

[wintry chasm]

Alright that's enough jokes though

[remote lintel]

its canon tho

[wintry chasm]

Shush

[frosty crater]

What I don't get is how can a lot of people die when there's only like 5 people 😂

anyway

[remote lintel]

you get introduced to new characters every expansion

it's not like there's only 5 people in the entire story

[wintry chasm]

^

[frosty crater]

nice

[wintry chasm]

I have no idea where you are right now but from the sounds of it you'd have already met some couple dozen NPCs who are important

[frosty crater]

I just met the scions at the Waking Sands. I have played through ARR before though, but I don't remember anything because I skipped a lot of cutscenes

[rocky zenith]

each expansion usually has their 2-4 important npcs

[wintry chasm]

More

[rocky zenith]

hmm idk

like im trying to remember

[wintry chasm]

Oh okay that's more fair then

You made it sound like you were near the end of ARR earlier

[rocky zenith]

im just talking about like surface value MSQ

there are a lot of sidequest important story stuff in each expansion

with their own characters

[wintry chasm]

@rocky zenith well if we take Stormblood for example we have ||Hien, Yugiri, Gosetsu, Yotsuyu, Zenos, Fordola, Cirina, I'd say Sadu and Magnai, you'd also have let's say Lyse, etc||

You could probably argue a couple more on that list

[frosty crater]

How much % exp bonus do you get when levelling alt jobs?

I don't recall

and google won't answer

[open coral]

100% under level 70, 50% from 70-80

[rocky zenith]

lol i only remembered like 3 if those guys

[open coral]

Provided your highest level class is 80

[wintry chasm]

Wait ||Yugiri|| isn't SB

Pfft

[rocky zenith]

the others i didnt consider important bc they havent shown up again

[wintry chasm]

Okay scratch her off

[stable hinge]

My Chocobo is rank 13 and has capped in xp but for some reason I cant use the thavnairian onion

[frosty crater]

thanks! I want to switch from Marauder to Lancer because I feel like levelling with a tank is slow

[remote lintel]

@stable hinge take it out of the stable and kill something

[desert prawn]

which crystal tower raid is everyone spamming for loathsome memories

[whole wasp]

||M'naago||?

[open coral]

Syrcus Tower

[desert prawn]

ty

13 left

[stable hinge]

Thanks! it worked

[frosty crater]

jesus

[wintry chasm]

As I said you could argue a couple more on like her or Hancock but ehhhhhh

[frosty crater]

that will give me nightmares

[desert prawn]

pic of me after spamming sycrus tower 13 times

[whole wasp]

True. Theres the auspices too.

[wintry chasm]

That's not MSQ which Goat was on about

[pulsar escarp]

I - I would die for tataru. legitimately. she keeps me going

[wintry chasm]

So doesn't count

[whole wasp]

Oh right they were optional

[frosty crater]

is it explained in lore why the player can never die or something?

[open coral]

Sort of?

[remote lintel]

not directly iirc but its hypothesized that its because of the blessing of light

[open coral]

It's kind of handwaved that when we die we're not really dying, it's just the power of the Echo showing us a Bad Future.

[remote lintel]

like other npcs die and cant be revived but we always get "revived"

[twilit arch]

no

[frosty crater]

ahh okay

[twilit arch]

the echo does not do that

[remote lintel]

the echo isnt the blessing of light

[twilit arch]

even with...bozja doing adding echo future nonsense, that has been fancanon

[open coral]

Oh, was that just fancanon?

[twilit arch]

literally the first time of "future echo visions" is with bozja

[open coral]

True.

[twilit arch]

its mikoto's weird unique thing

[rough fossil]

Ok this is so stupid I know but is there no way to change your companion chocobo’s gender?

[remote lintel]

it doesnt have a gender

[open coral]

Companion chocos don't have a gender.

[twilit arch]

Technically, it does

[remote lintel]

well yeah but like

[twilit arch]

ishgard only sends geldings to the other city states

[remote lintel]

it can be whatever you want

[twilit arch]

But ultimately its whatever

[rough fossil]

It refers to “him” when I take it out of the stable and stuff

[twilit arch]

there's no way to change the system messages for that

[remote lintel]

just pretend you dont see it

[rough fossil]

It’s a really small thing

[leaden ginkgo]

question where do you go to dye armor and clothes?

[twilit arch]

The dye unlock quest is in vesper bay

[remote lintel]

you need to have unlocked dye and then you can do it anywhere

[twilit arch]

called "Color your world", then its just a matter of right clicking on gear that can be dyed

[leaden ginkgo]

ah ok.

thanks

[wintry chasm]

...it's gameplay

Like

You can't die because you are the player

If you did die you'd have to uninstall your game lol

[remote lintel]

but during ||HW we see ardbert and co get revived when we kill them?||

[frosty crater]

that's the gameplay perspective yeah

[wintry chasm]

||that's not us the player dummy||

[remote lintel]

||yeah but it shows that people with the blessing can be revived?||

[frosty crater]

https://youtu.be/TXc0loyuq9I?t=285
Is this FFXIV 1.0 footage?

[strange coral]

Yes

[frosty crater]

damn the graphics were a lot worse

looks like a PS2 game 😄

[remote lintel]

it did come out on ps3

[scarlet arrow]

actually the extreme amount of attention spent on the graphics is one of the contributing factors to why 1.0 was so bad

[strange coral]

||Ardbert and co where also not in the original bodies when they came to the Source and had Ascians meddling with them, so it's not really a 1:1 comparison.||

[leaden ginkgo]

Population wise who is lowest . Tank or healer?

[frosty crater]

oh actually it's not that bad, the particular scene just looked bad

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo theres no way to accurately tell

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there no player data?

[remote lintel]

player data isnt accurate

because people switch whenever they want

[strange coral]

I am both a tank and healer, how would you count that in population?

[open coral]

You have to keep in mind that any player data would be inaccurate because people switch freely and level all classes.

[leaden ginkgo]

You would count as both

[open coral]

And some people (like me) just level everything, even if we never play tanks outside of leveling.

[leaden ginkgo]

Hm

[open coral]

Some people never play tanks or healers aside from leveling them.

There's really no way to tell which is which.

[terse roost]

I'd have to think that in a case like this, you wouldn't classify "who plays what class" but instead "How much time to they spend as a given class" to determine population of a class.

[strange coral]

I leveled Samurai and a few other jobs to 80, but never play them after that. Would you count me as those as well? How would anyone know? Lodestone doesn't give much indication of what a player's main jobs are.

[cursive abyss]

Whats an easy way to test if your Debuff Bar works after resizing it? I never got any debuffs during BA, so Idk if the new size works:

[open coral]

Yeah, there's really no way to track that data.

[twilit arch]

go aggro a morbol

[terse roost]

So I would classify as a tank because despite having all the classes to 80, I'd say about 80-90% of my combat class time is as a tank, only about 10% as DPS. I played healer just to level them. Now, I'd think only Squeenix would have access to that data in any sort of accurate way.

[twilit arch]

Get hit by bad breath

[cursive abyss]

where can I easily find a morbol?

[open coral]

Near Haukke Manor

[twilit arch]

there's some in central shroud, near haukke manor

[terse roost]

Central Shroud, Western part of the map

[little swift]

This isn't pertinent data anyways since most players end up leveling at least one of every role. This also skews data when people level alt characters on other data centers

[frozen wind]

quick question aobout glamours

[little swift]

Also with how new jobs release and people picking them up/dropping them it wouldn't be easy or accurate to gauge

[frozen wind]

I came from WoW and we got our sense of "glamours" through putting the gear on or just by looting it

How do we obtain glamours in FF14?

do we have to equip the gear on

[faint flare]

Doing content

[frozen wind]

Or if we buy or loot it do we get it

[remote lintel]

anything you can wear can be glamour

[faint flare]

Everything is glamour

If you like the look

[twilit arch]

there's no wardobe catalog like in wow

[frozen wind]

so if I have it in my inventory or loot it it goes into my "glamour" log?

[twilit arch]

You have to physically have the gear to be able to use it

[faint flare]

No

Inventory

[frozen wind]

dang

[faint flare]

There's no special distinction

All gear is glamour

[frozen wind]

wait so we have to have the gear in our inventory or else its gone?

[twilit arch]

either by having it in your inventory, putting it in the glamour dresser/armoire or having it on a retainer to grab

[remote lintel]

you can put the gear into a glamour dresser and put it onto a plate to be able to apply it anywhere

[faint flare]

You can put it in the dresser for plates

[frozen wind]

oh dangit i shouldnt have sold my gear after all

[remote lintel]

you need to physically have the gear SOMEWHERE

[open coral]

Unlike WoW there is no "glamour log" that appearances are automatically added to. You have a 400 slot dresser where you can put pieces, but otherwise you have to physically store the gear somewhere in order to use it.

[faint flare]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[frozen wind]

I didnt realize I had to put my gear into the glamour place

[warm snow]

Some gear is level 1 and gives no stats so some people call it glamour gear

[faint flare]

You dont have to

[open coral]

You don't have to put it there. It's just a place to store it so it isn't taking up armory, inventory, or retainer space.

[faint flare]

You can keep it on you and do it manually for 1 prism each time

Or use glamour plates

[frozen wind]

Alright so just to clarify

As long as I can loot and put the gear in my inventory

[frosty crater]

When a new raid releases, does it have higher ilvl drops than the previous raid? If yes, doesn't it get boring to only do the same raid over and over (I get PTSD from WoW)

[frozen wind]

the glamour is saved into my "glamour log basically"

[faint flare]

Yes

There's no glamour log

[remote lintel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQxIuKtfrAk @frozen wind

[frozen wind]

and going into the dresser, I can put it there

[remote lintel]

just watch this

[faint flare]

Glamour log doesn't exist

[frozen wind]

This is more confusing than I thought

[remote lintel]

it really isnt

just

[faint flare]

Dresser is just a place to store it

[remote lintel]

have the gear somewhere

[open coral]

As long as you physically possess the gear somewhere in your inventory, armory, or glamour dresser, you can use it for glamour.

[frozen wind]

I need to ditch the WoW mindset our glamour is basically transmog

[open coral]

Yes

It's completely different from how WoW currently handles xmog.

[remote lintel]

watch the video

[faint flare]

Just forget anything wow related

Really

Fresh mindset

[frozen wind]

okay so I still need to have the gear

[open coral]

It's more like how you used to have to keep every piece you ever wanted to use for xmog in WoW.

[remote lintel]

yes

[frozen wind]

Ahhhhh i really shouldnt have blindly sold my old gear

[remote lintel]

you can get it back

[open coral]

Appearances are pretty easy to farm.

[remote lintel]

its extremely easy to get back most gear in this game

[faint flare]

You can easily reobtain everything

Outside Mogstation stuff

[frozen wind]

alright so

[forest lark]

Why is it so dang difficult to blacklist someone in this game

[frozen wind]

My best option now

[cursive abyss]

Debuff bar does not work.

[forest lark]

I search the player by player seqrch and when I right click, there is no option to blacklist

[remote lintel]

you probably hid it

[frozen wind]

Is to put my gear into the mirror closet thing?

[open coral]

If you want to use it for glamour, yes.

[remote lintel]

the glamour dresser yes

[twilit arch]

you disabled it in your early picture @cursive abyss

purple text = disabled

[frozen wind]

Glamour dresser is in inn right?

[open coral]

Yes

[faint flare]

Yes

And squadron barracks when you unlock that

[frozen wind]

alright gotcha and do i need one glamour prism to glamour all or one prism for each

[open coral]

One each

[remote lintel]

one prism per item

[faint flare]

1 prism per item

You put in

[frozen wind]

dang that sucks

[faint flare]

Then its free to use the plates

[open coral]

Meh, prisms are easy to get.

They're cheap from the GC vendor.

[remote lintel]

prisms are super easy to get

[frozen wind]

are they buyable somewhere?

[faint flare]

Opposed to using it everytime to glamour different gear

Grand company

[frozen wind]

What is a GC vendor?

[remote lintel]

grand company

[open coral]

Grand Company vendor.

[frozen wind]

Oh I remember them they're in Ghirdinia

[cursive abyss]

Works now, thank you!

[open coral]

They sell glamour prisms for like, 200 seals each?

[frozen wind]

next to company se-

200 SEALS??

[open coral]

yes

[twilit arch]

they're very cheap

[frozen wind]

Thats like one fate

[open coral]

That's super cheap.

[remote lintel]

i mean

[faint flare]

Thats 1 gear turn in

[twilit arch]

once you hit sergeant second class, you can turn in gear for seals

[frozen wind]

So around 5 minutes per prism

[faint flare]

For 5

[twilit arch]

and gear at higher levels are worth 1k+

[frozen wind]

Fates take a while for me to clear

[remote lintel]

when you unlock the ability to turn in gear for gc seals you can get like 40k at once if you just dump a bunch of old gear

[little swift]

Seals are a lot easier to obtain later. Fates are not the only source

[frozen wind]

thank goodness

[open coral]

Farm gear > exchange gear you don't want to use for glamour for GC seals > buy prisms.

[remote lintel]

you need to rank up in your gc first

[frozen wind]

Alright gotcha thank you all for answering all my questions!

[pastel hinge]

Why is 50/60/70 dungeon roulette bad for leveling? Just because they take long?

[remote lintel]

because level cap dungeons dont give as much exp

[pastel hinge]

That's weird

[remote lintel]

no?

[faint flare]

They didn't give xp originally

[frozen wind]

last quick question

[remote lintel]

why would you need exp when youre level capped

[faint flare]

So they tacked some on

[frozen wind]

So when i do level quests

[pastel hinge]

Oh I see what you mean

[frozen wind]

it says that "The discepency between your level and the level quest is too great, continue and you will recieve a exp penalty"

What excatly is this penalty and is there a way for me to avoid it?

[remote lintel]

use a lower level class

[open coral]

If you over level the maximum level of the levequest (quest level +5), you'll get less xp.

[remote lintel]

it just means you get less exp

[open coral]

That's the penalty

[frozen wind]

Oh thats perfect!

[remote lintel]

leves dont level sync

[heavy wadi]

yeah i just realized

deleted

[frozen wind]

I just want to do it for the possible glamour chestpiece I might get for it

I was worried they'd subtract exp or levels from me

[open coral]

Nah

[frozen wind]

thank you i was worried for nothing!

[remote lintel]

the game doesnt take exp away

[open coral]

This isn't that kind of game.

[pastel hinge]

Is the only reason to do 60-70 dungeons for gear?

[open coral]

No

[faint flare]

Poetics for gear

[open coral]

^

[spiral ridge]

Do we know if 6.0 will continue the GC ranking ?

[open coral]

50/60/70 roulette is basically some quick daily poetics.

[faint flare]

No

[open coral]

There's no other real reason to do them unless you want to farm a specific one for glamour.

[twilit arch]

SE has said they only want to add GC rankings when they intend to add something with the rank

like how squadrons released with 1st LT and the weapons for Capt.

[heavy wadi]

inb4 faction war expac

[pastel hinge]

Should i do one a day for the xp bonus or is that not even worth it

[open coral]

Not for the xp bonus, really.

[remote lintel]

theyre not great for combat classes

[open coral]

Only the poetics.

[remote lintel]

oh

thought you were talking about leves

[faint flare]

50/60/70 is the second worst xp roulette

Its for poetics

[open coral]

For xp roulettes, the best are: MSQ > Frontline/Alliance Raid > Leveling > Normal Raid/Trial > 50/60/70 > Guildhest

[remote lintel]

normal raid gives less than trial iirc

[faint flare]

Yeah but quick

[open coral]

Did I get that backwards?

[faint flare]

Generally

So

[pastel hinge]

I thought leveling was better than msq. I've read conflicting info

[open coral]

I usually consider them on the same tier because Trials doesn't have a poetics bonus unless you get one that gives poetics natively.

[faint flare]

Msw gives alot

But takes more time

[open coral]

MSQ is worth a TON

[remote lintel]

msq roulette gives you like half a level

[little swift]

Msq gives a full level at 50-56 ish

Because its on level

[worthy basin]

praet gives a lot than castrum iirc

[open coral]

At the highest level to still get xp, leveling roulette gives anywhere from about 1/4 bar (if you get unlucky and get Satasha) to 1/2 bar.

MSQ roulette 100% gives 1/2 bar.

Just baseline.

So while you lose out from the time investment perspective, the xp benefit can be worth it.

[hollow violet]

Just finished MSQ where you meet Ifrit - am I supposed to know who owns my soul already or is that to be revealed later?

[remote lintel]

nobody owns your soul

[pastel hinge]

Thanks

[remote lintel]

the blessing of light prevents you from being tempered

[hollow violet]

Ah okay. Was clicking through it fairly fast for fear of delaying my DF group. Thought he said he couldn't claim my soul because another had a prior claim to it

[open coral]

Yes, the dialogue says that.

[remote lintel]

nobody cares if you watch cutscenes

[open coral]

But that's just how the primal reads the blessing.

Another way to put it would be that your soul is aspected too far towards light for Ifrit to temper you.

[hollow violet]

Gotcha, thanks for the explanations both

Are primals really 'slain' after an event like this or are they more like forces of nature that will reform? (lorewise - clearly gameplay wise they can respawn xD)

[open coral]

They can be summoned indefinitely given enough resources.

[twilit arch]

they can be resummoned

[faint flare]

The beast tribe summoned them

[heavy wadi]

lorewise they can respawn, yeah - they're essentially just living ideas

[faint flare]

You defeat them

[remote lintel]

primals are summoned whenever

[hollow violet]

ahh so we just banished them basically

[heavy wadi]

yep

[hollow violet]

danke

[faint flare]

You killed that ifirit

Mechanics of summoning is explained and exploded later

[hollow violet]

Fair enough, I'll enjoying learning it when I get there ^_^

[open coral]

Keep in mind that the entire game to this point has spent time exploring the mechanics, implications, and consequences of primal summoning.

[wintry chasm]

@hollow violet need to correct here

To be more specific, it's the echo that gives you tempering immunity

The blessing is separate

[remote lintel]

oh right

i got it mixed up

[open coral]

Wasn't that something that we learned later?

[wintry chasm]

No

[remote lintel]

the echo is something innate in you

[wintry chasm]

||Cerb shut||

[open coral]

At that point in the game we were still ||under the impression that the blessing and the echo were one and the same||

[wintry chasm]

||what we learn LATER is that the echo ISNT Hydaelyn's gift||

That's it

[heavy wadi]

^ 5.4 spoilers fyi

[wintry chasm]

We always knew ||they were separate though||

[open coral]

Yeah, this is getting way into #archived-lore-spoilers territory 😄

[hollow violet]

Thanks for tagging, I'd prefer to avoid spoilers for things I haven't encountered yet

[open coral]

We're usually pretty careful about not spoiling important Plot Stuff here.

[remote lintel]

tldr you cant be tempered because youre special

[wintry chasm]

^ pretty much

[rough fossil]

I’m still kind of new to macros on controllers. I set up a few like my sticks, but was wondering if it was possible to program a command to pressing L1+R2?

[faint flare]

No, macros are just buttons you hotkey

Like other skills

[rough fossil]

Alas

Any suggestions on how to use /targetenemy then?

[remote lintel]

what are you macroing

[hollow violet]

What should I be considering when asked to choose a grand company to join?

[remote lintel]

dont macro your combat skills

@hollow violet aesthetics

[faint flare]

Look of their gear

There's no functional difference

[ripe stream]

sorry, quick rando question; is the recruitment channel for this discord for FC recruitment only? or can i try find people for mount farming on there too? XD

[remote lintel]

its for both

[hollow violet]

Anywhere I can look at the gear of each? The 3 envoys asking me all look the same with different colors

[open coral]

You can always just pick up the roles for all of the datacenters and take a look to see if there are any FCs recruiting that look interesting to you, then make a server choice based on that.

[open crystal]

oo might do that actually

ty!

[leaden ginkgo]

Hello guys

Are there any server issues with Chaos data center? I am at Omega server and it's lagging alot and shows poor connection, even though my PS4 shows good connection

[open coral]

Nothing specific showing on the Lodestone right now, but that doesn't mean anything.

[lethal mist]

I know where the Jumbo Cactpot is, but where do you go for the mini cactpot draw?

[faint flare]

Reception

[fathom rover]

Talk to the mini cactpot broker at x: 5 y: 6.5

[lethal mist]

Wow thanks, it said Reception but I went to the information person instead...

[rough fossil]

Question: Did they change the housing purchase system before or after they added the subdivisions?

[faint flare]

Way after

Subwards been there since forever really

[lethal mist]

Holy I got 10k on my first ticket. Got 2 achievements for it too. Fun! It's a bit like Sudoku

[rough fossil]

Oh really? Interesting. I would have thought they would have added another set or two then

Leaden fist potency:

370

[sweet leaf]

so may i ask how i should utilize Perfect Balance?

[remote lintel]

you do dragon kick and then bootshine every other combo

prepull

[faint flare]

Dk/bootshine spam

During PB

Pb is basically your burst

[sweet leaf]

alternating?

[faint flare]

Yes

[open coral]

To keep up your buffs/debuffs.

[faint flare]

Leadened Bootshine is your strongest hit

Plus guaranteed crit

For chakra

[sweet leaf]

would my opener be PB, TS, Demo, DK, BS, DK, BS

[faint flare]

No

[remote lintel]

it would be PB > dragon kick bootshine dragon kick bootshine dragon kick bootshine etc

[faint flare]

Form shift > dk > ts > demo > bootshine > pb > dk/bs spam

[sweet leaf]

what's form shift

[faint flare]

!action Form shift

[zinc orbit]

**Form Shift** : lvl 52 MNK (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

[sweet leaf]

oh i only just hit 50

[faint flare]

Then just open with Dragon kick like normal and go into PB after demo

Well

Would be demo > dragon kick > pb > bootshine then dk/bs spam

[remote lintel]

[warm snow]

Lol the description

[sweet leaf]

oh i see what i've been missing

[signal aspen]

ACT kinda stopped working, and keeps mentioning windows defender's firewall, despite running on admin, being allowed on the firewall, and it having an exclusion on the windows security thing

does anyone know what could cause this

[sweet leaf]

I assumed BS, AoD, and DK would apply what i've already been doing from turn 1 but i only just now realized i'm not in opo-opo form when i start combat

i've been highly confused wow lol

do i want to be using my PB burst before or after gaining TS?

I assumed after

[faint flare]

After

Plus puts it under raid buffs

[sweet leaf]

so my opener i assume is DK>TS>Demo>PB>DK>BS>DK>BS>DK>BS

pre-52

after 52 it would be FS>TS>Demo>PB>...

[remote lintel]

twin snakes > demolish > bootshine

then pb

[faint flare]

You wont have fist

[sweet leaf]

yeah but DK before TS

[faint flare]

You can DK before PB

[sweet leaf]

yeah

[faint flare]

To get leaden for the first PB

Sinfe you're already in Opo

[sweet leaf]

but DK is higher potency than BS, so i would lead DK into TS

and then PB after Demo

ooh

ooooh

[faint flare]

Dk > ts > demo > dk (for leaden since you're in opo) > PB

Pushes burst back for buffs like trick

Just small habits

[sweet leaf]

aaah gotcha, ty

[remote lintel]

also watch the video

[alpine star]

Anyone have any good advice for a slow, small pull, nervous tank that is perhaps taking taking way to seriously and stressing on normal level content? I want to tank but I feel horrible when I make a small mistake on trash mobs >_< I wish not to anger the healer. 😦

Press your buttons

[alpine star]

Thank you kupobot!

[pulsar escarp]

use your mitigations but not all at the same time

and make sure! to say you're new in chat

[remote lintel]

you wont anger the healer unless you dont cycle your cds or dont turn the boss away

[pulsar escarp]

people there will help you too if you say you're amateur tank

[alpine star]

Oddly I find bosses the least stressfull and fun when taking....

[faint flare]

Bosses are pathetic

[pulsar escarp]

I also used to ask for pointers at the end of dungeons but usually only do that if you can handle critiscm

it is lol right

[remote lintel]

trash hits harder than bosses

[faint flare]

Trash is the real danger

Just cycle your cooldowns properly and you can wall pull any dungeon

[pulsar escarp]

this, don't be afraid to use mitigations on trash, in fact actively use them on trash esp for early level dungeons

[alpine star]

Yep trash mobs are harder to controll thain a boss

[pulsar escarp]

don't forget arms length

[alpine star]

I mean I've been DPS for years and years on MMOs but in this game I want to tank because i feel like I can learn in Ff14 but boy do I get nervous

[pulsar escarp]

slow means that enemies cast times are slower and you get hit and overwhelmed slower, healer will thank you mentally

LMAO yeah ikr

[faint flare]

Tanking is piss easy

[pulsar escarp]

just say you're new and everything will be fine

[faint flare]

Stance on > aoe mobs > cycle cooldowns

Done

You can wall pull

[pulsar escarp]

even if things screw up, people will help

[alpine star]

also thankyou everyone for the advice

❤️

[remote lintel]

ask in #technology-discussion

[pulsar escarp]

tell us how it goes in future or somehting! lmao, we like to hear

[alpine star]

I've tried healing and I find that actually very easy....well granted I dont do any of the hard or super extreem content

[remote lintel]

healing is easier than tanking imo

[faint flare]

Itd no difference

Hell easiee

Cause fights are more heavily scripted
