questions-and-help

[remote lintel]

you either level them all or none of them

[dull ingot]

What is the general setup people use animation wise? I feel like I'm handicapping myself by by displaying ally skill animations

[warped nest]

For level 1-15, your crafters can grind the exp inside the crafting guild

[deep gyro]

i use reduced animations

[uneven tendon]

I turn everything off except my own tbh

[faint flare]

Usually set them to limited

[remote lintel]

self > full
party > full
others > none

[faint flare]

So you can see healer bubbles

[warped nest]

Lvl 1-15 recipes uses materials sold by NPC in the guilds

[strange coral]

Specifically the move cursor keybinds in the system tab of the keybind menu. If you don't have a numpad you can reassign them.

[deep gyro]

even party on full looks like a lot

if u have limited u will see the important ones

[remote lintel]

i like the full particle effects on my eyes

[warped nest]

@queen wolf keeping them within 5 levels apart means you don't need to keep too many gears for varying levels of crafters

And you can be self sufficient with materials

[deep gyro]

it can distract you from mechanics

[dull ingot]

I was playing alliance raid and had now idea what was going on bc I was melee and my screen was beeing cluttered with abilities😅

[deep gyro]

but if u must have them on then i guess thats fine too

[remote lintel]

if you feel like full effects are too much you can set it to limited to you can still see ground aoes

[jovial tide]

Thank you so much

[remote lintel]

turn others to off

[deep gyro]

just dont turn it completely off for your party

[jovial tide]

My UI config got corrupt during a game crash so I'm trying to reclibrate it precisely

[dull ingot]

I'll try limited and turn others off

[deep gyro]

i have someone in my static who turns party animations off and always has to ask "am i in the star"

[dull ingot]

Maybe just others off will be fine too, I did not have problems during dungeons and 8 man content tbh

[remote lintel]

"others" is for people not in your party

[deep gyro]

keep your party to limited though

[dull ingot]

Just the alliance raid were a clustefuck of abilites

[warped nest]

Like random players on world

[remote lintel]

yeah you dont need to see other alliance's attacks

[twilit arch]

earthly star is actually the only healer ground aoe that shows thru "off"

[warped nest]

Or the other two party in alliance raid

[twilit arch]

because its considered a pet iirc

[deep gyro]

he must be blind then

[faint flare]

Yes

[dull ingot]

Ok thanks! I'll try party limited and others off

[lone violet]

is there a way to tell you already did a raid for a loot drop for the week ?

[faint flare]

It says on the duty finder

[deep gyro]

green tick in duty list

[remote lintel]

it says loot received

[faint flare]

On the right

[lone violet]

ok thanks

oh so since you have to roll for the loot in the raid. and its only for once a week. if you run the raid and don't get the loot can you run it again til you get it ?

[uneven tendon]

Yes

[deep gyro]

uh

[faint flare]

For normal yes

[deep gyro]

for normal mode

[uneven tendon]

For non savage

[lone violet]

what if you don't get the loot on savage ?

[faint flare]

Tough luck

[deep gyro]

in savage mode you get one chance to roll, if u dont get anything and/or pass u get nothing this week

[faint flare]

No loot for you

[hot eagle]

savage is try next week again

[faint flare]

You can loot as much as you want on your first clear per floor in savage

But after that you get nothing

And reduce the number of chests

[deep gyro]

you can also receive the blessing of rng gods and take every single non-duplicate item in every savage floor

or you can get absolutely nothing

6...?

dungeons or duties in general?

including trials there's a lot more

[faint flare]

3 trials, and 6 dungeons

[deep gyro]

including instanced solo duties.. idk

[obsidian patio]

If you count the patch story add another trial and 4 dungeons

[glacial isle]

what are the stats for DRK?

[faint flare]

Crit dh det

[glacial isle]

thx

[deep gyro]

u can change it whenever u want for some poetics

[faint flare]

Thats anima

[deep gyro]

oh shit

my bad

ignore

[glacial isle]

yer fine

[deep gyro]

shoulda noticed it said 120 and not 510 lul

[dull ingot]

Are tankbusters noticable enough in "easy" content that when I first time them blind I won't just die the first time I encounter them?

[faint flare]

Busters in dungeons are pathetic

They'll do like half your hp

[deep gyro]

u dont get one shot most likely

[glacial isle]

don't they usually have a decent wind-up?

[faint flare]

Later on

Early on there's many instant cast busters

[obsidian patio]

Generally if you’re above like 1/2 or 2/3 of your health they never kill if you don’t have vuln stacks

[faint flare]

Casted busters are more frequent later

[glacial isle]

ah

[faint flare]

Many people dont really notice the instant cast busters cause dungeon bosses are pretty pathetic in general

Unless they're already low or something

[uneven tendon]

Might feel it if you’re a naughty tank and letting your gear fall behind too much as you level though

[dull ingot]

Ok thanks, I'm still a bit anxious about tanking but I feel like I'll probs be a better tank then dps😅

[faint flare]

Its one of the easiest role

Just loosely cycle cooldowns if you're scared

[dull ingot]

Also I like "knight" classes and they are almost all tanks

What tank job is suggested for a beginning tank btw? Or are they all about the same difficulty

[uneven tendon]

All pretty much the same these days imo

[scarlet arrow]

at the beginning they're all about the same

[faint flare]

So just go paladin really

[deep gyro]

at lvl 80 war easiest, pld hardest

but at the beginning it doesn't matter

you will learn how to play the class by leveling it up

[remote lintel]

only paladin and dark knight are really "knights"

[deep gyro]

theres nothing so hard in this game that you should be intimidated by it

[dull ingot]

Yeah those and DRG

[deep gyro]

the classes are designed to be accessible to everyone

[scarlet arrow]

||gunbreakers are technically knights, or at least they used to be||

[remote lintel]

i was thinking traditional knights

[dull ingot]

Yeah it's just that I feel like it's alot more noticable when I would mess up as a tank. Also bc alot of the dungeons would be first time/I only ran them once I'd not know what groups are generally pulled together

[remote lintel]

just follow the basic tanking tips

[dull ingot]

The general roll itself is not really the problem for me, just content knowledge

[faint flare]

Just follow the straight line

[remote lintel]

the core tanking principles apply to all dungeons

theres nothing that will throw you so far off if you dont do it right

[uneven tendon]

Live and learn. Don’t feel bad if you pull too much when you’re new, just say ‘oops, mb’ if you botch it, then try a little more restraint until you get comfortable

[hollow violet]

How do I give my companion an attack order? The game help said on my actions bar but nothing was added there when I summoned him

[remote lintel]

the chocobo does skills on its own

[faint flare]

Companion window has the stances

[hollow violet]

Found it, thanks!

[faint flare]

Or action and traits > companion

[dull ingot]

Ok thanks guys! I'll go lvl my DRK I started last time I subbed then!

[forest sage]

they attack whatever you attack by default though so it's mostly about using the return command to prevent them from attacking in some situations(leves)

RNG mitigation has never been that great here

[twilit arch]

follow your group, don't leave the group

[forest sage]

blue mage is the only tank with a dodge skill

[twilit arch]

kill things with your group

[forest sage]

and you can't dodge a bunch of stuff anyway

[remote lintel]

is it the rival wings thing or frontlines?

there you now know what to do in pvp

The Feast this week

[remote lintel]

ew

[twilit arch]

oh feast

[faint flare]

Figure out your job's burst

[twilit arch]

try to murder healers, don't line of sight your healer

collect medals from dead bodies

If someone is counting down over a target, that's a sign to jump and burst them down

[atomic forge]

What's the difference between Ultimates and Eden's Promise? Is Eden's Promise an Ultimiate?

[glacial isle]

does the Training Match count for the WT?

[faint flare]

Once its over

[remote lintel]

@atomic forge no

eden promise savage is savage

[faint flare]

Ultimates are seperate from the raid tier

[remote lintel]

ultimates are harder than savage

[twilit arch]

yes, it does @glacial isle

[remote lintel]

theres only 3 ultimates in the game

[faint flare]

Ultimates are a long gruelling boss gauntlet

With little to no breaks

[glacial isle]

...oh right they disabled PVP on the Trial

[atomic forge]

Which content is most similar to WoW raiding?

[glacial isle]

due to bots

[remote lintel]

neither

this isnt wow

theyre different

[atomic forge]

Sometimes Cerberus

[faint flare]

Tbh people say DR savage is kinda mythic

Big large raid in one instance

[forest sage]

DR savage is a lot easier than mythic

[remote lintel]

you would be comparing apples to oranges

[faint flare]

But mythic light or whater

[remote lintel]

raids in ff dont work the same in wow

[faint flare]

Similar vein

[forest sage]

numbers aside though, savage is your traditional endgame raiding

[atomic forge]

Thank you Pyros

[twilit arch]

savage is like heroic -first few bosses of mythic

ultimate is closer to mythic

[faint flare]

Goes normal content > extreme > savage >>>>> ultimates

[forest sage]

ultimate is for the hardcore people

[twilit arch]

but even then ultimate doesn't really equally compare to mythic

similarish levels tho

[forest sage]

main thing about ultimate is it syncs gear, so you can't outgear it, unlike say mythic raiding where first week clears are rough but 12weeks in it isn't really the same thing

[atomic forge]

Well, I found it interesting that the class representation was vastly different between Ultimates and Eden's Promise.

That's why I asked about the relationship.

[remote lintel]

that doesnt really tell you anything

[faint flare]

Depends on ultimate really

[atomic forge]

It tells me a lot.

[faint flare]

Cause bard and summoner are pretty busted in Alexander

Due to multi target

At least in the first two phases

[forest sage]

the first 2 ultimates are also not at lvl cap, so class balance is different there

[faint flare]

^

[atomic forge]

Is Alexander in Eden's Promise?

[faint flare]

No

[twilit arch]

no

[remote lintel]

alexander is HW raids

eden promise is shb

[atomic forge]

ah

[forest sage]

ultimates are separate, alexander is based on the HW raids(but was released in shadowbringers)

[faint flare]

You need to clear Eden 4 savage to unlock it

[twilit arch]

only connection alexander ultimate has is that the unlock requires eden's verse 4 savage

[faint flare]

But its separate otherwise

Savage is just 4 different instances with typically 1 boss

Ultimates are 1 instancr with 4-5 bosses in a row

[atomic forge]

Yeah, also something interesting is that Eden's has tens of thousands of parses per class. Ultimates have around 100 lol

[remote lintel]

because not as many people do ultimates

[faint flare]

Cause ultimate isn't for the vast majority of people

[remote lintel]

savage is way easier

[faint flare]

Its aimmed at the top 1%

[atomic forge]

Interesting!

[faint flare]

Or people with way too much time on their hanss

[twilit arch]

ultimates are basically 14-15minute endurance tests

[faint flare]

They take on average over 100 hours to prog and clear

Savage dies within a few hours

[twilit arch]

savages are much shorter, and for last boss fight of a tier often have check points

that can help give breathing room

[remote lintel]

isnt TEA like 18 minutes or something

[obsidian patio]

I think coil is like 18 minutes

[twilit arch]

tea is 16mins

[faint flare]

They're generally around 16mins give or take cutscenes

Their length and all

[twilit arch]

ucob is 16mins as well with uwu being the shortest at 13

of course these are for the fastest clears

so yeah safer to say around 15-17mins

[remote lintel]

how long are they from pull to enrage

[hollow violet]

is the grand company dye (went with maelstrom) available from a vendor or do I need to ration it since I can't use the market?

[obsidian patio]

I think with max enrage timers for each phase Coil can hit 18+ minutes

[remote lintel]

wow

[forest sage]

what's the grand company dye, is it like a generic dye they give you that kinda looks the color?

[twilit arch]

pretty sure most of the dyes you get from the main scenario quest are vendor dyes

but all in all, any dyes you get from quests are usually not hard to get. they're either crafted, or bought from vendors

[forest sage]

@hollow violet you can check the tooltip if it says Shop price: x g, then it's sold at a vendor somewhere, if it doesn't say that it's crafted only

[twilit arch]

the rare dyes are going to be ones with the name "general purpose"

[dusky forum]

i have a question so i just unlocked black mage would i get the dark outfit or no?

[hollow violet]

no 😦 Much dissapointment

[faint flare]

You get job specific gear later

[slate arrow]

you dont get the job outfit until level 45

[hollow violet]

Unless I'm blind and missed it. I unlocked it about 2 hours ago

[faint flare]

At 50/60/70/80

[dusky forum]

mission lv45 or player lv 45

[faint flare]

And some pieces at 45

Always quest level

Your level doesn't mean much

[dusky forum]

okey

[hollow violet]

No shop selling price so it's not something I can buy then?

[slate arrow]

not with gil from a vendor yes

some of them are exclusive to beast tribes

[twilit arch]

its crafted, so either make yourself or can buy from marketboard

[hollow violet]

aww. That means I can only match my GC's color scheme through one more armor upgrade

quest reward was 3 pots of it. As a trial player I don't think I can do trades or market

[twilit arch]

you can level crafters

but yeah, you're not able to use the marketboard

[hollow violet]

I"m enjoying myself enough to purchase - but I don't know that there's enough missing to be worth it until I'm nearing level 60

[faint flare]

You're only missing the races pre 60

And red mage/samurai

At 50

[hollow violet]

I thought those two came with it?

[twilit arch]

red mage and samurai are stormblood jobs, so no they're not on free trial

[faint flare]

Thats with the expansion

[hollow violet]

ah. So I get the heavensward jobs but not the stormblood ones

[twilit arch]

correct

[hollow violet]

gotcha. Maybe I'll purchase at 50 then ^_^ those were two of the 4 or so jobs I was interested in trying out

[lone spruce]

How do I run an alliance raid unsynced?

[leaden ginkgo]

Tysvm

[twilit arch]

so roughly 2 weeks of frontline roulette (not counting in any challenge log completed)

assuming you lose every roulette

[leaden ginkgo]

Hmm.. Without daily bonus, you get 500-1500 wolf marks per placing per match, right?

[twilit arch]

ye

1000

for win

so 2k potentially from frontline roulette

[hollow violet]

Don't you dare tease me. Can you really play triple triad?

Yes

[vernal urchin]

Hell yeah you can

Go to the gold saucer to unlock it

Thinking of just sucking it up and doing bozjan for the judge set any tips to help speed it up and I won’t lose my mind in boredom?

[remote lintel]

the law order set?

[west cedar]

Ye

[remote lintel]

watch netflix while you do it i guess

use it to level a class

[faint flare]

And do memey builds

[west cedar]

Lol ok thanks is it bad as people say?

[remote lintel]

no

[faint flare]

The weekly quest helps get the gold coins

[remote lintel]

use a class that you dont use often

[west cedar]

Won’t get wrecked as a solo dps?

[remote lintel]

no

[faint flare]

Unless you try to solo rank 3+ stuff

Those hurt

You'll just be running from fate to fate and queing CEs for mettle to rank

[hollow violet]

they even play the music. This is great! I'll stop being off topic now

[west cedar]

How do you get the coins for the armor sets? Might as well ask

[faint flare]

Law order coins are from Delerum

It drops silver coins, 100 silver for 1 gold

And the weekly quest gives 3 gold coins

Each piece is average 2-3 gold coins

[west cedar]

What’s delerum

[faint flare]

The 24man raid at the end of the Bojzan story

[slate arrow]

to be clear, Delebrum is a seperate instance.

[west cedar]

Is it just a alliance raid?

Or like a fancy fate you gotta wait for other players for

[faint flare]

Kinda basically

You just que into it from the npc in gangos

After unlocking

No role restrictions

[west cedar]

Ah cool that doesn’t sound like a huge hassle

[faint flare]

Depending how many people bother to use Essenses and lost actions, runs can be between 30mins to an hour

[leaden ginkgo]

Uhh are these normally this cheap?

[west cedar]

Lol

[forest sage]

they were 1g last week when I bought some

bots being dumb or whatever

[deep gyro]

most likely bots yeh

[forest sage]

I refilled all my crystals in preparation for endwalker, besides wind ones

[twilit arch]

bots tend to keep the shard/crystal market low

[hot eagle]

ishgard ranking is done so price is down again

[forest sage]

some are really cheap especially if you world visit

[leaden ginkgo]

Hmm how much are crystals normally on a fresh expansion?

[faint flare]

Alot more

[forest sage]

like whatever element was 40g on my server but 12g on another

[faint flare]

Cause people making new stuff

[twilit arch]

not really that much higher

[faint flare]

And levelling crafting

[forest sage]

people level all their crafters, which take a ton so the prices go up

also bots often break for a week or two with new expansion

[leaden ginkgo]

Don't imagine its by much though

[faint flare]

How much will vary

[forest sage]

iirc lightning crystals were up to 100g during ShB launch first couple of weeks

it's not unaffordable if you have money, but it's also quite a waste of money to not buy them a bit in advance, it's not like they decay

[leaden ginkgo]

Mehh I'm just looking for stuff to flip for when 6.0 comes around

[forest sage]

there's not that much since you can't predict mats that will still be usable and all gear obviously gets replaced

[remote lintel]

no

[cobalt mauve]

Aw

Ok well ima just make sure i like how my char looks then

Any tips on making a good looking roe?

[spare panther]

hey guys, I have a question

are people still que for old raids?

[forest sage]

not for coil cause it's not in roulettes

[spare panther]

lybirinth of the ancients in perticular

[remote lintel]

they do it unsynced

[forest sage]

the rest will pop yeah

[remote lintel]

oh

normal mode raids yes

[spare panther]

I need to clear it for msq

[remote lintel]

its like 12 pm in jp

[forest sage]

crystal towers are in roulette and are part of the MSQ so definitely yeah, although depending on the time of the day it can take a little while for world of darkness to pop

lab and syrcus should pop quickly regardless

[spare panther]

ahhhh alright

so I guess I have to wait till 12pm jp time

[cursive abyss]

Where does the Midgardsormr/Omega Raid start in SB?

[forest sage]

well you don't have to wait for a specific time, but queues are longer during working days cause like, people work

[remote lintel]

rhalgrs reach

@spare panther im saying its currently like 12 pm in jp

therefore not peak hours

so your queues will be longer

[spare panther]

ohhh

alright

I thought you meant most ppl que at 12pm by data or something

my bad

[silver lintel]

which one has better dps, bard or ninja?>

or at least slightly

[earnest wraith]

Individual damage should be ninja but bard can increase overall damage output of your party.

[remote lintel]

theyre both fine

[silver lintel]

yeah, just trying to help someone who can't decide is all

[remote lintel]

do they want to be a burst melee or a spammy ranged

[cobalt mauve]

Are Scar's on Femroe removable by Aesthestician or are they also permanent

[remote lintel]

if its under facial features then you can change it

[silver ruin]

30+h id say including dungeon + trial time

[honest anvil]

20+ hours seems ... not enough

perhaps i’m just a slow readers but i think it’s closer to 40h

[silver lintel]

where do you get level 80 DoH and DoL gear?

[twilit arch]

craft it yourself, buy from the marketboard, or buy with white scrips

if you craft/buy, you will want to grab aesthete

[silver lintel]

the latter is the one i was looking for

who sells it with scrips?

[twilit arch]

white scrip gear you want to get land/handsaint

all of the scrip exchanges should, provided you've unlocked the eulmore house of splendors

[silver ruin]

that was a typo mb, yea you're right

[honest anvil]

I’m glad i’m probably not a slow reader xD

[silver ruin]

nah i think the base expansion + all the msq so far is just like 25-30h

dungeons and trials probably push it closer to 40

esp with dps queue times

[mint girder]

question from someone new to this game but trying to get into it, is there like a solid way to sniff out "ah yes, i might enjoy this class" or is the best way to just try everything

[remote lintel]

have to try it

[silver ruin]

you can watch videos but yea the best way is trying it

[mint girder]

i'll be at this for a while then, there seem to be quite a few options

[silver ruin]

17? so far for combat classes

[mint girder]

my wow refugee ass is baffled by that number of classes

[silver ruin]

some require certain levels to unlock and or are locked behind expansions (if you're on the trial you wont be able to play like 4 classes)

they're adding 2 more for the next expansion

[mint girder]

oh, there was one other thing i was curious about and then i'm probably gonna skedaddle because big discord servers make me nervous

the dungeon finder thing, i don't remember what it was called exactly but i remember seeing some mentions of it, should i just like start doing that ASAP once it's up (assuming i'm a dps guy first character)

[silver ruin]

so, you unlock it at 15?16?, you have to use that to do the dungeons that are required for main story quests

everything is locked behind main story quests, so basically: yes

[remote lintel]

the duty finder is how you queue for dungeons and stuff

[silver ruin]

^

[twilit arch]

if you're coming from something like wow, you don't necessarily need to be queued up all the time while questing

the main scenario quest should keep you fairly leveled

[silver ruin]

^ that being said ,every couple of levels you're gonna be using it, because the story quests unlock dungeons required to progress

[mint girder]

so like when i get a new dungeon i should run it a few times?

[remote lintel]

no

theres not much reason to run it more than once

[silver ruin]

^

[remote lintel]

unless you like the gear from it

and want to get it

[mint girder]

got it 👌

thank you dudes, and now, goodbye, big server scary

[thin comet]

hi.. got a question. other than DR, coffee biscuits turn ins, what are other options to get gil?

[silver ruin]

make raid food and pots, sell em

[thin comet]

[remote lintel]

[silver ruin]

treasure maps can be good money if you can get a decent sized group together

[thin comet]

raid food and pots such as?

[remote lintel]

hq grade 4 tinctures

[silver ruin]

grade 4 dex/mind/int/str pots

[remote lintel]

whatever the bis foods are

[silver ruin]

yea they gotta be hq

[thin comet]

that would require me to be lv80 cul/alch right?

[silver ruin]

yes

[thin comet]

ok got that covered for cul. alch tho xD

[thin comet]

noted!

[jagged crow]

I have a question for someone, I want to start working on the eureka armor but I don't see a set for gnb

[remote lintel]

the eureka fending armor is for all tanks

[thin comet]

i've actually made some bucks from gathering diadem. but used most of it on calfskin + overmelding materia xD

[remote lintel]

oh you mean the AF gear

there is none for gnb

[jagged crow]

Where do I start that, I only see the job specific people at gerolt

[silver ruin]

diadem might still be decent money if you sell the materials + skybuilder scrip things

[remote lintel]

are you talking about the elemental armor or the job gear?

[jagged crow]

Elemental armor

[thin comet]

yeah i probably need to spend 2-3 hours gathering later..

[jagged crow]

the glowing set

of fending

[silver ruin]

youd have to check your server prices though, but stuff like approved blue spirit ore is lke 300-400g~ each in primal

[jagged crow]

Eureka is very confusing for me

[silver ruin]

the level 80 stuff used in non expert level 80 crafts

[thin comet]

all right

but diadem loots is random right?

[remote lintel]

you need to get to the pyros area i believe

so level up in eureka

[silver ruin]

yea you'll end up getting a bunch of stuff

[thin comet]

i mean i cant find any with specific items

[silver ruin]

just price check it on market board and save or toss what doesnt sell well

the chicken italian thing

they're all under mastery book 8

[thin comet]

oh! okie thanks 😄

i'll look it up as well. at work so i can just do checklist lol

[gloomy mortar]

What food is best for AST? Pineapple Juice or Pineapple Salad?🍍

[remote lintel]

for savage?

[gloomy mortar]

For normal

[remote lintel]

then it doesnt really matter

[oblique yew]

are events a one time thing?

[tender dirge]

Hey guys, Recently me and my gf hit level 30 but im not enjoying my class, i'm wanting to level a alt class and wanna know a fast way to catch up a alt class to levle 30?

[toxic glen]

1 to 15 you can do hunting logs and fates then dgs, also you'll get extra exp with any classes under your highest classes lvl

[pure pecan]

if im gonna subscribe to FFXIV, (Full newcomer) What should i do first? I heard theres expansions and such, but if i subscribe what expansions do i get, and whats the difference geting the starter edition?

[tender dirge]

awesome ty

[pure pecan]

i know theres a free trial, and im playing that for now

[faint flare]

You need starter edition + Shadowbringers or complete edition for everything

Buying just Shadowbringers does nothing cause you own nothing

[pure pecan]

so can i buy complete edition, but i still need a sub right?

[open ember]

yep

[pure pecan]

oh ok

[open ember]

as soon as you own the game, you gotta start paying sub

[faint flare]

You get 30days free either option

[open ember]

but complete gives you 30 days

yep

[pure pecan]

what about the starter

edition

[faint flare]

Same

[open ember]

no

wait

it comes with 30 days?

[faint flare]

Yes

[pure pecan]

im reading description

[twilit arch]

of course?

[pure pecan]

it mentions it

[open ember]

oh okay i didnt know that

[leaden ginkgo]

I don’t know if it stacks on free trial time

[faint flare]

Complete is starter edition and Shadowbringers in one

Free trial is no time

There's nothing to stack with

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohh okay

[open ember]

i bought two complete editions and they did give me 30 days free twice

one for pc and one for ps4

i just didnt know the starter came with 30 days free

i may be a dumb dumb

[twilit arch]

the whole reason why complete gives free days is because it has starter edition in it

[open ember]

OH

okay that makes so much more sense now

[pure pecan]

so if i just sub

and not buy any packs or anything

what will i get?

[open ember]

uhh what do you mean

[pure pecan]

like what expansions will i get up to

[twilit arch]

heavensward

[pure pecan]

with just my subscription, and not buying any expansions manually

[open ember]

starter pack is the free trial with all the restrictions lifted

[twilit arch]

starter edition is effectively the same as free trial but no restrictions

[leaden ginkgo]

You won’t get anything more than the free trial

[faint flare]

Just lifts the restrictions

[pure pecan]

yeah so im deciding to play alot of the free trial first

see what i think about it

[open ember]

i would say, play the free trial until max

then decide

if you REALLY wanna buy it

[sullen lark]

Can someone tell me if https://ffxivteamcraft.com/ is down or not? It's just not loading for me on two browsers and I just wanted to know

[pure pecan]

yeah ill try that out thanks!

[twilit arch]

not loading for me either @sullen lark

or atleast its loading extremely slowly

[sullen lark]

Alright, thanks

cuz I thoughht it was just me

[silver ruin]

ffxivapi is down rn

[twilit arch]

oh yeah that's probably it

forgot teamcraft likely pulls from api as well

[sullen lark]

Ah I see

[silver ruin]

yea theres an announcement in the tc discord for that being the reason

[sullen lark]

Guessing no clue when it'll be back up?

[silver ruin]

nope

[sullen lark]

Darn, guess I'll have to actually look at the ingame clock

[open ember]

just give it a few hours or overnight

it'll prob get fixed by then

[sullen lark]

Okay, thanks for the answers

[twilit arch]

Garlandtools bell seems to be working still

[sullen lark]

Oh yeah, that works, thanks

[pale jungle]

A quick question: What are the ways to obtain Gold Ore ?

[leaden ginkgo]

Like syrcus and ivalice for ARR and SB , nier is for ShB?

[open ember]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Hm

[open ember]

hw is void ark series

[leaden ginkgo]

I’m not a big fan of the nier aesthetic

They could’ve gone with some other FF crossover

[desert dagger]

If it's meant to be a sequel to the events of Nier Automata then I like it.

[left moth]

crop exchange (not recommended), gathering (0900 in game time), lv50 min venture, fc airship (sea of clouds. not recommended)

[leaden ginkgo]

For Ninja before you get armor crush, when is it recommended to use Huton based on how much time is left?

Should you wait until the timer is almost gone or try and keep it capped at 70?

You can get gear from a vendor but MSQ should be giving you gear too

Try hitting the recommended button above your weapon slot to see if you've got anything better

[oblique yew]

are events a one time thing?

[leaden ginkgo]

Look in your inventory to see if you have any weapon/armour coffers, sometimes you get those from MSQ too. Alternatively, you've got 200k so you could boost with vendor gear

[elder idol]

make sure to your accessories are up to level, too, it's easy to let those fall behind

[tender dirge]

I'm doing my hunters log and i cant find summerford, i see it on the map but i cant go there

[proud willow]

Summerford is the aetheryte in Middle La Noscea, outside Limsa Lominsa

[leaden ginkgo]

Don't go too crazy though, once you get to the end of 2.0 you'll be given two sets of armour that'll be much better than what you buy from vendors

[tender dirge]

Awesome ty

[faint flare]

Wait as late as possible, usually its every 3rd mudra due to the 20s cd

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you! I will do just that

[faint flare]

Do your lv50 job quest and open the coffee given for full i90 left side gear

That alone gets you enough

[tender dirge]

I'm here but i cant find the grounded pirates ::(

[twin delta]

alright will do

[faint flare]

Go out into the field and look around

Hunting logs give a generalised area

[robust crow]

aside from casters do any classes use edenmorn feet for bis

i have an extra coffer and idk what to do with it

[leaden ginkgo]

How do make sound japanese

?????????

[left moth]

system config, other settings, cutscene audio

[karmic niche]

so, i am finish with my lvl 80 relic after clearing 15 DR?

[left moth]

for the 515 step yes. unless you want to upgrade more weapons

[vestal zealot]

when mass pulling, are u holding off on mitigation till u reach the stopping point

[karmic niche]

i see, so no way to increase the stats ha

[robust crow]

yes

the mobs can't hit you if you're sprinting

[vestal zealot]

when would u pop arms length in that duration?

[robust crow]

at the end

[silver ruin]

for anyone looking on an update for teamcraft

[robust crow]

arms length is used for the attack speed slow

do not use it when running

[pseudo quartz]

If you haven't found them yet, they're just slightly across the river, sorta in between those two fates in your map

[vestal zealot]

x.x

TIL

[robust crow]

slowing enemy movement just makes it more annoying to group them at the wall

and you might cause your whm to miss their assize on the stragglers

also try to sprint before pulling

sprint lasts 20 seconds if you use it out of combat

so pop it right before the first pull

[vestal zealot]

kk one last question, is there a priority to which mitigation action ur popping first? gnb for example

[robust crow]

it only lasts 10 seconds if you use it during combat

not really a priority as long as you're cycling through them

reprisal can be stacked with pretty much any mit since it's so low cd

[toxic glen]

Be careful when sprinting ahead though, if healer cant catch up you might be dead before they get there

[vestal zealot]

never together bc they’re multiplicative right

[robust crow]

not necessarily

when you are doing savage

sometimes you need two or more mits to survive a tankbuster

or occasionally if your healer is struggling and you can feel yourself slipping, you can invuln first

and if invuln isn't enough then you can emergency pop 2 mits

your short CD mits can be stacked pretty freely

reprisal and your tank-unique short mit are low CD and can be used frequently with other mits

for GNB that's heart of stone

the long mits, arm's length, nebula, rampart, camouflage, you'll want to cycle

[vestal zealot]

kk that helps a lot, thank u for the detailed explanation

[robust crow]

generally speaking

[fallen niche]

Does gifting a friend a game time card make them ineligible for recruit a friend?

[robust crow]

your average healer is decent enough to handle just one cycled mit at a time

if they're extra bad or gcbtw then you might want to be more wary

[remote lintel]

@fallen niche yes iirc

[robust crow]

if they're exceptionally good then you won't even need mits cuz they'll be helping DPS and the trash packs will die before your first/second mit wears off

additionally, if you are playing with a lv. 45+ white mage

save your mitigation for after their holy spam wears off

because the enemies are stunned during holy spam

once the diminishing returns end, that's when you pop your mit

if playing with lv. 62+ AST, look out for their earthly star circle and be sure to stand in it

the AST will love you for it

oh, same with ninja and doton

if you have a ninja look out for their doton and move the enemies into it

ez commend

[vestal zealot]

theoretically speaking, would u use ur higher mitigation skills first and ease into ur lower skills

[robust crow]

truthfully? in dungeons it barely matters

which ones you use first

[vestal zealot]

ok i may just be overthinking it then

[robust crow]

in endgame content where you have to plan everything

it depends on each fight

you'd want to use the bigger mit on tankbusters that hurt the most

and smaller mits on tankbusters that aren't as bad

i guess I personally like to pop the lower mit first since i get more uses out of it

[remote lintel]

just have some mitigation up and youre fine

[robust crow]

i've done some really silly pulls in the early dungeons that don't artifically gate you

like in tam tara you can literally pull like 30 mobs from that one wall near the end

[tender ice]

How do you unlock the NieR raid?

[robust crow]

assuming your healer can mash their heal button

and the DPS can kill fast enough

[robust crow]

beat shadowbringers MSQ, then there's a questline in tomra that unlocks it

[tender ice]

Do I have to beat post ShB too?

I have completed main ShB

[robust crow]

no, just 5.1 i think

maybe not even 5.1

probably just 5.0

1st result on google

[tender dirge]

can i lock certain hotbars so i dont accidently remove a skill when i click it?

[robust crow]

yes

[tender dirge]

@pseudo quartz ty btw

[robust crow]

do you see the lock button next to hotbar 1

that's what that does

[tender dirge]

Alright, that locks all though, can i make it only lock a certain bar?

[robust crow]

not sure, probably not

if there's a way to do it then i haven't found it

[tender dirge]

Alright ty ❤️

[shut panther]

Endgame dungeons are fairly consistently two pulls > boss, my general strategy is a strong long cd followed by a weaker one each of those pulls

So in the gnb example, nebula > camo pull 1 followed by rampart > arms length in the second

With reprisal being used alongside the weaker second cd each

[robust crow]

that's really not necessary but sure

[shut panther]

Can pretty much tack heart of stone on whenever

I mean nothing is terribly necessary

[vestal pike]

what channel do i go to if i'm looking for people to go through dungeons? the duty finder is taking forever to find people so i thought id ask here

[robust crow]

no need to plan it that far down

as long as a mitigation is up you'll be fine

stack em like that if you wish

[shut panther]

Use big followed by small is barely a plan.

[remote lintel]

@vestal pike did you enable JP language in duty finder

[vestal pike]

uhh, im a newb so i dont know how to do that

[remote lintel]

open duty finder

[shut panther]

Might have better luck on a DC specific disabled

[remote lintel]

click the cog icon

[shut panther]

Discord

[remote lintel]

select jp

[shut panther]

What dungeon are you trying to get done?

[jovial tide]

What are timeworn artifacts in potd used for?

[shut panther]

They're for the current relic weapons quest

[vestal pike]

Brayflox'x Longstop

[jovial tide]

Ah

[shut panther]

If it's not active time on your server and you're playing DPs you might just have a long queue unfortunately

[vestal pike]

aha, yeah, yesterday i was waiting for an hour before i gave up aha

oh sweet, commencing now,

[tender ice]

Which DoH can you craft glamour with?

[open ember]

weaver

usually

leatherworker also

[tender ice]

ty

[open ember]

armorer as well for the tank/melee stuff but usually weaver

[hybrid bramble]

For the battle effects settings, does it apply to limit break effects?

[shut panther]

Are you referring to the setting that lets you reduce effects that aren't yours?

Because no, limit breaks always get their full animation

[hybrid bramble]

The ones that are mine actually

[remote lintel]

you still see the full effect at limited iirc

you dont see it if its off

[toxic glen]

Wait for alliance raids and DR does party count for the other parties? because Im pretty sure I see all the LBs and my others is set to none

[tender dirge]

How do i gear alt classes?

[shut panther]

What do you mean? While leveling? At cap?

[tender dirge]

Leveling

Sorry

[shut panther]

If you're leveling via dungeons, you'll get enough drops

[vernal urchin]

either run dungeons or buy gear off the marketboard or from npcs

[tender dirge]

Alright, I'm doing my hunting log rn

[shut panther]

Then at 50/60/70 you can buy tomestone gear

[remote lintel]

@toxic glen no, only your own party counts for "party"

[vernal urchin]

completing a dungeon guarantees you one piece of gear for your current role

[tender dirge]

Alright

[steel wedge]

Hey can any help me rank up In the southern front? I could use a healer

[leaden ginkgo]

when do i get quest for eureka pagos

[shut panther]

If there's any particularly embarrassing gaps due to bad drop luck, you can always pick up something from market

(or craft yourself)

[tender dirge]

tysm! 😉

[remote lintel]

dont buy vendor gear

if you really really have to then buy it off the mb

[toxic glen]

Ok was just wondering since in DR I can see all the LBs or more accurately cant see anything

[shut panther]

Red mages did nothing wrong.

[leaden ginkgo]

when do i get quest for eureka pagos

[shut panther]

Complete the level 17 quest in anemos

[obsidian patio]

Complete all the story quests for Anemos and then Rodney, the NPC who takes you into eureka will unlock Pagos

[leaden ginkgo]

i got to pagos

i got quest from the lalafell bich

but it doesnt tell me what to do

[misty turtle]

Hello all, my friend and I are currently starting the free trails and would appreciate if somebody could make a party and add us so that we can play together.

[leaden ginkgo]

like i have pagos unlock

[toxic glen]

Once you've done the first quest the next one isnt till 21

Most people suggest to stay at Anemos till like 20 I think

Pagos is brutal at low lvls also not much you can really do

[leaden ginkgo]

i got to 25

in anemos

i talked to her already

[toxic glen]

Nothing on your map or quest log?

[leaden ginkgo]

i think i gotta explore more of the map?

[shut panther]

Yeah, Eureka quests don't tell you where to go

You can either try to do it organically as intended

[leaden ginkgo]

they do after anemos people said

[shut panther]

Or look at Eureka tracker for answers

They "tell" you organically, but there's no quest location indicators like the rest of the game

[alpine shadow]

It tells you on the quest log that you should find a spot, so you would have to search for it, but you can find trough searching on the internet, or using so called eureka tracker.

[livid storm]

I switched to a laptop and non of my hot bars and hot keys saved is there a way to fix that?

[alpine shadow]

If you saved it trough the backup system, yes

[livid storm]

It is all in default

[little swift]

!faq eurekapagos

[zinc orbit]

Eureka: Pagos Map

[little swift]

@leaden ginkgo

[livid storm]

How do I do that

[remote lintel]

@livid storm go to your other computer and upload your settings to the cloud from the character select screen

theres 2 cog icons there

click both of them

[livid storm]

Can u send screenshots?

[remote lintel]

its next to your character name and the world

[livid storm]

Ok thank you so much I was freaking out

[lavish breach]

which master recipe books should i focus on getting considering all classes, to lets say try to make good gil?

[silver ruin]

book 8

[lavish breach]

what about the past ones? any recommendations? o/

[silver ruin]

theres some glamour things in them, but im not online to check, generally you'd want to get them all though

[leaden ginkgo]

@little swift I got it now lol

Tyyy

[lavish breach]

thank you~

[leaden ginkgo]

For WHM level 50 should I use benediction first

[remote lintel]

yes @leaden ginkgo

benediction should be your first heal

[jaunty mason]

hello, i am very much enjoying the game. i just finished heavensward, and starting stormblood. but i feel like i should havr at least 1 level 80 job? because some events have 70dg stuffs ,like the one coming up on march 15

[remote lintel]

the moogle event doesnt require a lvl 80 job

[jaunty mason]

i wouldn't br missing out on anything? i havent reached 70 raids/ dgs yet

[remote lintel]

the lvl 70 raids are just extra ways to earn the tomes

you can do perfectly fine with a lvl 60 job

[jaunty mason]

oohh thanks! i was worried id be missing out on stuff

[uneven tendon]

You should have a level 80 job when you’re at the end of Shadowbringers MSQ, not really any sooner unless you’ve been staying ahead for some reason.

[pulsar escarp]

MSQ essentially sets the standard for what level you should be

most things you’ll experience eventually

[jaunty mason]

aah coz some people in our fc made me wonder why they are skipping msq

so i thought i should rush to 80 too

[remote lintel]

some people just dont care about the story i guess

theres no reason to rush

[pulsar escarp]

No WAY lol

you’re doing great man

have fun in the story

[toxic glen]

I did that to try get to endgame, skipped all of HW which I regretted, went back and did it on a second character though later

[pulsar escarp]

god yeah, sucks right

[jaunty mason]

maybe.. i guess theyre the ones missing out on the good stuff

[pulsar escarp]

ESP since HW is so good

that must’ve been painful playing through all the bosses not knowing what happened

[jaunty mason]

my heart was heavy and my eyes were teary after finishing HW 🥲

[toxic glen]

Like I got the jist of it and started paying attention to the end but yeah didnt understand much of it

[pulsar escarp]

my eyes were wet for like the last fifty percent of HW ngl

[pulsar escarp]

it’s cool you went back though

[toxic glen]

I didn't cry through it but someone was chopping onions at a certain part or two

SB didnt really do it for me but god Shadowbringers, that broke me, tl'dr story is good never skip

[uneven tendon]

Just different play styles. Some like to just get into content and press buttons and get cool glams

[warped nest]

You get to level 80 one way or another

But there is only one chance to experience the story for the first time

[pulsar escarp]

true

If it’s not for you, just make sure you don’t regret it hh

[toxic glen]

The content is always relevant or doable so no need to rush it

[warped nest]

Imo, it is better to experience it and find yourself not liking it all said and done, than regretting skipping it

[jaunty mason]

kinda feel overwhelmed sometimes, and a bit left out whenever they talk about those high level raids, i guess i was worried about nothing 😂

[remote lintel]

the high level raids arent going anywhere

[uneven tendon]

Some people quit before reaching the current stuff because it takes so long to get there, but don’t want to drop money on a boost in case they don’t enjoy it

[little swift]

You can still easily experience the normal versions of those raids later

[remote lintel]

you can experience the savage ones later too

[little swift]

Key word is easily

[remote lintel]

oh i skipped that

[little swift]

The savage ones realistically will only be done if its a final floor for mount/ultimate unlock

[thin comet]

do they announce discounts on mogstation/store beforehand?

[remote lintel]

not that ive seen

[thin comet]

or its more of it'll happen when it happen

lol

oh! okie

[little swift]

They do announce game sales

[uneven tendon]

When it happens they announce it when it goes live

[little swift]

And certain cosmetic sales

[pulsar escarp]

As a tank, sometimes I wait to pull boss and ask if there’s any mechanics I should be aware of in chat. Would this annoy people?

[remote lintel]

no

[thin comet]

okay noted. thanks!

[little swift]

No

[pulsar escarp]

I also ask whether I should pull to centre or farther north

[remote lintel]

depends on the boss

[pulsar escarp]

sometimes people seem to get a bit antsy though

[little swift]

But also normal content is a meme with like almost nothing that throws a curveball at you

So you can always blind it

[remote lintel]

some bosses will automatically move back to the center for some moves

[little swift]

Center of the room is fine for most encounters

[pulsar escarp]

Should I still ask? Or just yolo

[thin comet]

hardest for me was titania & amaurot.. but im a slow learner tho haha

[little swift]

Thats up to you idris

[uneven tendon]

Some people will get antsy, that’s just people. Do whatever you’re comfortable with

[little swift]

I say yolo it

[pulsar escarp]

That’s fair then

[little swift]

Lllearning by doing is more fun

[pulsar escarp]

Sometimes I Yolo but normally I ask a bit if there’s anything to be wary of

I don’t want to be blindsided as tank

[little swift]

Nothing punishes you hard enough in normal content

Tank privilege is silly for that

[pulsar escarp]

don’t want to annoy a healer nonetheless

[toxic glen]

Something you gotta expect as a healer though, kinda their jobs

As long as you're trying and not facetanking AoEs you should be fine

[uneven tendon]

I think it’s more fun to live and learn unless you’re making the same mistakes on repeat

The healer is there as a buffer to keep you up

[pulsar escarp]

That’s fair enough

Thanks

[toxic glen]

Agreed, tanking things blind is always more fun than checking up a guide

Unless it's savage or something

[little swift]

Its fine to do savage blind too

[worthy basin]

^ but make sure the pf is on practice party not clearing

[uneven tendon]

There’s no harm in asking, but when you get to the point where you’re caught up, you’ll be doing Endwalker content and your whole team could be new. You shouldn’t feel anxiety over it or anything

[little swift]

but if you're doing partyfinder respect the time of other players unless itd specifically says blind prog

[tidal yarrow]

what is crypt twine for?

[open ember]

Augmenting Cryptlurker gear

[tidal yarrow]

oh wow

also waist?

[open ember]

Dusting, Twine and Ester are all augmentation pieces

Waist?

The waist can be augmented yes

[tidal yarrow]

waist piece

[open ember]

They require a Crypt Dusting

To be augmented so yes

Even tho they'll be removed for 6.0

[tidal yarrow]

what for is crypt ester for?

[open ember]

Same idea

[tidal yarrow]

weapon augmentation?

[open ember]

Yes

[tidal yarrow]

aight thanks

[analog gate]

ester for weapons, dusting for belts and accessories, twine for armors iirc

[toxic glen]

This has bugged me for awhile I can swap between DRK and WAR with no issues but not from either of those to GNB even though it's all the same armor but I can swap from anything else to GNB, any reason for that?

[forest sage]

uh?

does it throw an error out or?

[uneven tendon]

are rings in same slots?

[forest sage]

oh maybe your ring are in different slots

yeah that

[toxic glen]

Wait that's a thing?

[uneven tendon]

I used to have that, it will unequip them then re-equip if in different slots so if you are near capacity it won't have enough to do the swap

[forest sage]

try just going DRK, then equipping your GNB weapon and saving the set over your GNB set and see if that works better(or manually switch rings I guess)

[toxic glen]

Ah that makes sense, ty it's been really bothering me

Yup that was the problem

[thorn roost]

got a quick question regarding overmelding, how many materia can you overmeld onto crafted accessories?

[uneven tendon]

You cap out at 5 slots so if it has just one guaranteed, you can overmeld 4 times. Unless you're doing progression in ultimate/savage it's not really worth it imo

[warm snow]

No matter the item 5 materia is the true cap if advanced melding is possible

At least for now

[thorn roost]

thanks :3

[twin delta]

is there a button to hide all HUD?

[river valley]

Scroll lock hides the ui

[shut panther]

No real difference beyond the glamour options and slight cutscene differences

Afaik all the gear shares stats

[twin delta]

thanks serial

[shut panther]

And nonetheless if it doesn't, it's all irrelevant at the level cap

Grand Company FAQ

Which Grand Company should I choose?

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:

Grand Company Gear

How do I get Grand Company Seals?

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.

[shut panther]

There's also /gpose for all your screenshot needs

[jade quartz]

There is some low-level gear available from GC stores that does favour one class/role or another

depending on the GC.

[twin delta]

that's much better actually thankyou

[jade quartz]

This gear is irrelevant and no one really uses it

and it doesn't have a unique appearance

[shut panther]

Gpose is a big rabbit hole to crawl into

[toxic glen]

Along with nearly everything else in this game tbh

Which reminds me is there a way to teleport to apartments?

[river valley]

If you own an apartment, yes

It's in the teleport menu under "other" I believe

[toxic glen]

Oh sweet, thought you needed an aetheryte for it

[jade quartz]

It will be at the very top of your "all" teleport list

[river valley]

The aetheryte is only needed for houses, since they have a garden to place the aetheryte in. Apartments just automatically get it

Really convenient access to the market board!

[pastel hinge]

hey what are the little yellow bars

by the numbers on the party list

players 4,7 and 8 have them in this pic

[toxic glen]

Shields

[agile laurel]

shields are depicted with the yellow bar above the hp bar

its most obvious on 4 because they have a higher shield value than 7 and 8

[jade quartz]

^ if they exceed your max hp.

[warm snow]

Nocturnal ast, scholar and the newly announced sage apply shields

[agile laurel]

well technically whm does but just that one button

[warm snow]

nocturnal ast might not exist in this way in 6.0

[jade quartz]

the BLM's shield doesn't go past max hp so it doesn't go on top

[warm snow]

Stupid blm probably stood in an aoe again

[toxic glen]

Oh... I've been using that horribly wrong then

[jade quartz]

hm?

[pastel hinge]

Ah I see thanks

[jade quartz]

Not at all effectively.

[warm snow]

Only on roulette iirc

Oh wait no alliance do at least

[jade quartz]

Even the roulette for normal raids is garbage exp.

Alliance raid roulette is great exp of course.

[warm snow]

Can't remember for normal and level cap trials don't seem to at least when I tested with nidhogg

[pastel hinge]

I don't have a screenshot but I've also seen little red bars on the class icons in the party list, what are those?

[warm snow]

Aggro

To oversimplify

Roulettes are basically daily quests to do a normal raid, alliance raid.... Blah blah basically a bunch of daily quests to do duty finder content for extra bonuses

[jade quartz]

assuming you mean these

[pastel hinge]

Yes

[jade quartz]

they show enmity (aka aggro aka hate)

[toxic glen]

Wait BLM shield doesn't show on the bar at max HP or BLM shield does nothing at max HP?

[jade quartz]

For the enemy you are currently targeting.

[jade quartz]

I was referring to the black mage in the image who had adlo on him

[toxic glen]

Oh mb

[jade quartz]

but had lower than max hp so the display didn't go on top of the hp bar

[toxic glen]

I read that way wrong

[warm snow]

If a shielded target is below max hp the shield bar will start in their hp bar

If the shields value + current hp goes beyond max hp it gets extended above the hp bar

[jade quartz]

So in that image, the gladiator with the full bar marked "A" currently has the most aggro on the enemy currently being targeted

and the other three party members' bars show how much aggro they have relative to the A player

[river valley]

Actually, I never checked, does the DRK shield also display like that?

[toxic glen]

Yeah

[warm snow]

So in lyons example the tank has full hp + some shield and the blm has taken damage but also got a shield

[jade quartz]

all shields display the same way

[river valley]

I can't believe I never noticed that

[toxic glen]

Kinda wish it had markers to separate what shields what, would be nice

[jade quartz]

?

shields absorb all damage types

[toxic glen]

So like a line or something to show where one shield ends and another begins

[jade quartz]

it's effectively just bonus hp

oh I see

well that's not really an issue as the only shield that matters for is TBN, and TBN always has priority to be the first shield to break when a player has multiple shields on them

[toxic glen]

Yeah from my understanding if the original value of TBN is done in dmg it breaks regardless of how much more shields you have

[jade quartz]

that's right yeah

[toxic glen]

It would be hell if it had to break all your shields

[neon matrix]

Is a "penalty count" something I can see? I was queued for a duty and kinda forgot about it because it was taking so long

[jade quartz]

no

[thin comet]

hello. why cant i meld VIII on 3rd slot of accessories unlike left sides? is that intentional or am i doing it on wrong eq

im on i510

[river valley]

I don't believe you can see it, but I do think it resets after successfully completing a duty

[jade quartz]

If you withdraw from a queue after it pops three times in 24 hours, you get a 30 minute cooldown before you can use the duty finder again.

[jade quartz]

That's not true to my knowledge

It's just 3 strikes in 24 hours

and you get the 30 minute cooldown period

it's not like a black mark on your account or anything.

[river valley]

Been hearing people say it, so it might very well be wrong. Never had the experience

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm having some trouble at Lv. 60 - I don't have the ilvl met for Aetherochemical Research Facility and the Samurai quest for Lv. 60 is crushing me. I know I'm probably under-geared but I'm not sure how to raise my item level beyond where it currently is?

[jade quartz]

what's your item level?

[leaden ginkgo]

141

[jade quartz]

If you have poetics, you can go to the tomestone exchange in Idyllshire or Rowena's Representative in Ishgard and buy Augmented Shire gear--the best gear available at 60

[shut panther]

You can only meld 8s on the first advanced slot, accessories only have one basic slot so the third is vii only

[river valley]

If you can't buy tomestone gear yet, generally the dungeon before will give you good enough gear to continue.

[thin comet]

oh. thanks!

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh I wish the game had told me about the new tomestone gear
