questions-and-help

[silver ruin]

like 5minutes

[modest igloo]

not quite sure, a bit longer since between dc's but not too long

[cobalt mauve]

Ok epic

Been waitin like 5 so far, super excited to transfer

Cause i get a free name change

😳

And I am gonna be a Roe too

[silver ruin]

you might have to rename retainers if you had any with teh same name as someone else's on your server you transferred to

[cobalt mauve]

Should I log on while it is transferring

Like as in boot up the game

(Not going into a char)

[oblique yew]

is bozja, bozjan southern front?

[modest igloo]

yep

[oblique yew]

i cant seem to unlock it

i have finished 5.1

[modest igloo]

you completed 5.1 msq right?

ok good

[oblique yew]

and the ivalice questline

[modest igloo]

ok step 2 done

should be a guy in kugane

in the markets i think

blue quest, called hail to the queen iirc

[oblique yew]

yeah found that one

if i finish that will i gain access to bozja?

[leaden ginkgo]

Ever since I set up my OTP I can’t login without it

What’s that about

[modest igloo]

gotta follow the storyline for a bit

[leaden ginkgo]

I could foresee if I don’t have a phone with me in the future and then I would be *ed

Funny thing is it’s asking for both the password and the otp now

[proud willow]

That is the intended function for 2-Factor Authentication

you need to enter the password and the OTP to log in

[leaden ginkgo]

Do I need that for mogstation and online store too from now on?

[proud willow]

Yes

well, not the store. That's a different account

but Mogstation and Lodestone, yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Shouldn’t have fallen for that free aetheryte

[normal plank]

between the 3 achievement mounts which is people's favorites?

so between behemoth, ahriman and death claw

[remote lintel]

behemoth because the others are lame

[modest igloo]

death claw cause its funny

[remote lintel]

i guess death claw if you want to look like youre being kidnapped

[deep gyro]

personally deathclaw is my fav

cuter if you're a lala

[normal plank]

i can't decide :/
i'm an an au ra so definitely not the same

[opal herald]

any tips on getting started withh savage within the elemental servers?

people have been saying to find a static, but ive been unable to find one that recruits fresh players without savage exp

[frozen crater]

Is there a way to get off your mount when you press a combat button like in WoW?

[remote lintel]

@opal herald do EX first

then you get an idea of what is required

[opal herald]

ive done ex alr thho

just that im trying to enter into savage content

[remote lintel]

then you have experience doing endgame content so you're not totally new

[opal herald]

ahh

[remote lintel]

did you look through the recruitment channel?

[opal herald]

yeap unfortunately i dont see any of them recruiting people with no exp with savage contents tho

its all reclears or uwu clears all these

[remote lintel]

https://discord.gg/qyYzHKC

also check here

[silver ruin]

didnt they say they were elemental

[opal herald]

ah im from elemental

[remote lintel]

oh

[oblique yew]

oho

elemental

[remote lintel]

https://discord.gg/a2K9hFb

oop

[opal herald]

im in the elemental discord alr tho

[remote lintel]

could also look through the recruitment reddit

[opal herald]

ahh

[oblique yew]

how different is it to lvl 71-80 alt jobs by normal ShB dungeons, to bozja?

[cobalt mauve]

Death Claw because if you are a Catgirl it looks like they're picking you up by the scruff of your neck

[twin delta]

oh nvm

found it

[honest anvil]

bozja is probably better cause you get clusters, mettle, lockbox etc for help with relic grind

time-wise they are about the same

[rigid narwhal]

it not being the start of the tier, your best luck is going to be using PF, checking the elemental en raid discord on the side but dont expect too much

https://discord.gg/QtT8dMDF

there are less static recruiting fresh rn than normal

[remote lintel]

if you get the mats you can ask someone to craft it for you

[opal herald]

icic

[honest anvil]

Or Do coffee biscuits

[opal herald]

what kind of savage raid shud i start with?

[remote lintel]

the first one in the tier

[rigid narwhal]

e9s

[honest anvil]

current tier is e9s to e12s

[opal herald]

icic

[rigid narwhal]

you have to start at e9s

edens promise umbra

is what it's called

[opal herald]

ah but isnt the first one called

[honest anvil]

watch guides first; dont go in blind

[opal herald]

edens gate resurrection or sth

[rigid narwhal]

yeah

that's 2 tiers ago tho

content from 1.5+ years ago

[opal herald]

do i need to do them first to unlock?

[rigid narwhal]

people have outgeared it, and it doesn't give anything anyone wants

no

[opal herald]

icic

[rigid narwhal]

just do all of the eden normals up until edens promise eternity

then there is a guy in amh areng that will let you unlock

[opal herald]

ahhh

thnks alot!

[rigid narwhal]

no problem. just keep scrolling that discord, something might pop up at some point. i'd check it once or twice a day, or put alerts on messages there so you know

when people are advertising

[echo mural]

i can't enter potd because my gear doesn't meet the minimum strength requirement? what does it have to be at

[opal herald]

icic

[rigid narwhal]

but, if you wait to find a static before trying, you'll never make prog

[opal herald]

its btr to look for a static then posting on the LFP section righht?

[rigid narwhal]

you're new, i'd highly suggest you use party finder

[opal herald]

i recall my guildies telling me abt it

[rigid narwhal]

yeah, it's better to look for one vs posting in lfg

[opal herald]

alright

[scarlet sandal]

Is there EVER a reason you would want to use undraw over minor Arcana

[strange coral]

No

[scarlet sandal]

Yeah I thought so it seems kind of useless

[remote lintel]

take undraw off your hotbar

[rigid narwhal]

also if you're scared to go on, just ask some ppl from your fc to join you for some fresh prog 😄

[echo mural]

what do people mean when they say their armor is "+6/+9" or something like that

[remote lintel]

in potd?

[echo mural]

yeah

[remote lintel]

its the aetherpool

[echo mural]

i'm not sure what that is i'm new to potd

[scarlet sandal]

Basically it's what your stats run in potd

[strange coral]

It's how you get stronger in potd, since your normal gear doesn't matter

[scarlet sandal]

It's based on how much your stat is you have that you get from silver chests

[remote lintel]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/contentsguide/deepdungeon/

[tender ice]

Why is anima relic easier the second time you do it? That's what I've heard anyway

[echo mural]

so it says that my gear strength doesn't meet the requirement, do i have to restart

[remote lintel]

because you can buy the mats in advance

[sour ruin]

Does someone have a guide that explains e11s Turn of the heavens really detailed and slowly my static keeps yelling blue uptime at me but I dont' understand lol

[remote lintel]

@echo mural yes you have to do previous floors and level up your gear

you should all be on the same page in terms of strats

ask your static which guide they are using

and learn it

[sour ruin]

👍

[cosmic bloom]

Where can I unlock Hades and Titania EX?

[opal herald]

will do that 😆

[strange coral]

Minstreling Wanderer in the Crystarium

[cosmic bloom]

Ty friend

[manic flare]

how do you tank the dragons in keeper of the lake final boss?

[leaden ginkgo]

how long is it gonna take me to get a korpokkur kollussus starting fresh at the golden saucer

[remote lintel]

several weeks if all you do is fashion report

a little less if you do all the challenge log too

[leaden ginkgo]

O_O

so is the actual gambling not a good idea

[remote lintel]

i mean you dont get as much mgp

you could also farm chocobo racing

[leaden ginkgo]

oh damn so i cant even put in a lot of work to get it sooner

[remote lintel]

you can farm chocobo racing

[leaden ginkgo]

okay

[remote lintel]

fashion report gives you 60k a week

challenge log gives you like 10k a week?

[leaden ginkgo]

thats 10 weeks O_O

[remote lintel]

no

that would be like 6.5 weeks

[leaden ginkgo]

but 750 000 / 70 000 a week is 10

[remote lintel]

oh i thought it was 450k nvm

[leaden ginkgo]

more actually

welp heres to a fun couple months lol

[remote lintel]

you could also just wait for the moogle event and then farm the tomes and buy the 50k mgp tickets

[strange coral]

You can also get MGP tokens from wondrous tails

[hallow tusk]

Take note of how far away the dragons are before starting thr fight

The dragon closer to Midgardsormr needs to stay close to him, and the farther dragon needs to be pulled away from Midgardsormr. Otherwise they gain damage reduction if they're not positioned correctly

[silver lintel]

is there anything like the Blessed Fieldkeep's gear or Fieldking's gear for the secondary tools on botanist or miner?

[strange coral]

There are a fieldking's scythe and fieldking's sledgehammer

[silver lintel]

i'd swear i saw that in the game files but how do you get them?

[strange coral]

Should be at any scrip exchange npc

[silver lintel]

oh, weird

[strange coral]

Yellow scrip, 70 gear II section

[silver lintel]

does it have the same fancy glow the blessed versions from achievements do?

[strange coral]

I don't think so

[silver lintel]

darn

[jagged crow]

does extracting materia lower item stats?

[remote lintel]

no

[jagged crow]

So should you do it when ever your spirit bond is at 100 for free materia?

[leaden ginkgo]

Are gather job quests past level 50 worth doing other than for story?

[strange coral]

It used to destroy the gear, but that got changed. There's no risk anymore, so free materia

[strange coral]

Yes, some quests will reward skills

[leaden ginkgo]

Gotcha thanks

[jagged crow]

sweet

[storm crow]

how can i get from uldah to limsa lominsa as a level 16

[remote lintel]

do the msq

[rigid dust]

@storm crow just keep following the main story quests, they should be taking you to limsa pretty soon c:

[hollow violet]

Is there something I need to do to install FFXIV on my laptop? Steam won't add it to my library on the laptop (it's installed fine on my desktop where I've been playing it) and if I visit the store page it wants me to purchase it again for $19.99

It doesn't appear in my library at all

[strange coral]

Do you own it on Steam on your desktop?

[remote lintel]

did you buy it on steam

[hollow violet]

yep

[strange coral]

Are you sure you're logged in on the right steam account on the laptop?

[hollow violet]

I started with the free trial on steam. upgraded to shadowbringers about 2 days ago (also on steam) and have been playing that ever since

[upper cove]

@leaden ginkgo I'm aiming for both the fenrir and sabotender. 3mil total good luck to me. I've just been doing the challenge logs. Daily cactpot and jumbo csctpot. The games don't give a lot of GP but ill jump in a GATE or 2 if I feel like it. The leap of faith give quite a few thousand for clears. Other than that, I happen to really enjoy triple triad, chocobo racing and mahjong. So I do those when I want a break from fighting

[hollow violet]

yep just verified. I even have the inventory items in my profile from it

will give steam a reinstall if no one has any thoughts tto try first

[strange coral]

When you say "upgraded to Shadowbringers", did you buy the starter edition too? Or complete edition bundle?

[hollow violet]

All of it I think

not sure why the verification email likes to repeat itself but yeah 😛

I'll give the client a reinstall. It shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes

[strange coral]

So it's just not appearing in your library? Make sure no filters are enabled.

[neon aspen]

so im a fool

i have a bunch of mowna's tokens i was getting for a weapon

but now i have the relic which is superior

can i return these back?

[remote lintel]

no

[hollow violet]

Yeah I checked that. Reinstalled the steam client and it's appearing now. Must have just been a random bug

[strange coral]

Odd, don't think I've ever seen that happen

[hollow violet]

I haven't encountered that with other games - thought it may have been something funky since it loads through square's launcher. /shrug no idea

[leaden ginkgo]

thx :)

[upper cove]

@leaden ginkgo and definitely the fashion report. If you can hit 80pts its 60k. Participation is 10k. This week I won't be able be able to get the 60

[last finch]

Is there any sort of quest that unlocks for getting all the DOH or DOL classes to 80?

[obsidian patio]

It doesn’t need them all at 80, but there’s an extra quest from completing all 5 of the Facet quests series in the Crystarium

[leaden ginkgo]

Really weird wonder about Bozja

How plausible is it to do content, post Shadowbringers?

[obsidian patio]

How doable is bozja?

[leaden ginkgo]

The wonder is in the basis of

"if i wanna get Bozja stuff, should i do it before Endwalker?"

[obsidian patio]

Ideally yes, since it’s current content

Popularity will die down once 6.0 hits, since everything from it gear-wise will be pointless.

Though it will still likely keep some amount of use as it has tons of vanity/unlockables

[leaden ginkgo]

Nods

[oblique yew]

ooof

now

i have finished 5.1

and ivalice questline

and hail tot he queen questline

how to unlock bozja

[obsidian patio]

Should be a quest in Gangos

Try talking to Sjeros near the dock if you don’t see a quest and see if he can take you to the Bozjan Southern Front

[oblique yew]

finally

[wheat plume]

in alex t2, the bombs must be dragged to an special place or only away from party?

[obsidian patio]

Just away from the party

Though they do very little damage and can be ignored

[wheat plume]

thxs

riding bike is fun tho

[silver lintel]

who can you turn in stuff like strong steppe spice or yanxian soil to?

[winged oyster]

Anyone got a few minutes to help answer some questions? I got covid so I'm free for 2 weeks and want to get back into the game before the expansion

[remote lintel]

just ask

[obsidian patio]

Strong steppe spice is for one of the custom delivery NPCs.

The yanxian soil can be aetherially reduced into elemental shards/crystals/clusters and Aethersand

[cobalt mauve]

What is part 1 and part 2 in ng+ of HW?

[silver lintel]

darn

[remote lintel]

HW and post HW

[winged oyster]

If I don't have shadowbringers and wait for endwalker, will ugprading to end walker give me shadowbringers?

[silver lintel]

i guess that explains why the collectable appraiser won't take any of them

[obsidian patio]

Part 1+2 are the leveling story, 3 and 4 are the patch story

[cobalt mauve]

So I have no option to start at a specific point of the HW storyline? @remote lintel

[remote lintel]

no

thats as specific as it gets

@winged oyster yes endwalker will come with shadowbringers

[cobalt mauve]

So Part 1 and Part 2 are MSQ, Part 3 and 4 are patches, what is part 2 particularly

[obsidian patio]

You can only start from the beginning or after the Aery

[cobalt mauve]

In the MSQ

[obsidian patio]

Part 2 is somewhere around level 55

[winged oyster]

Can I get pass level 70 without shadow bringers?

[remote lintel]

no

[silver lintel]

idk what you mean

[winged oyster]

When is end walkers release date?

[silver lintel]

i hit level 80 in HW because of roulettes

it wasn't really intentional though lol

[obsidian patio]

Fall this year

[remote lintel]

6+ months away

[obsidian patio]

No exact date given yet

[winged oyster]

oh I thought I saw april somewhere

T_T

[obsidian patio]

That’s for patch 5.5

[silver lintel]

we get more info on it in april

[remote lintel]

april 13 is patch 5.5

[winged oyster]

Ahh

[obsidian patio]

May is the next batch of EW info

[silver lintel]

yeah may is the online thing right?

and also the mount if you buy a ticket or something

[remote lintel]

may is fanfest

[obsidian patio]

No tickets this year, AFAIK

[remote lintel]

its free to attend

the digital items will be bought separately

[silver lintel]

do we not know how that works yet?

not sure if people were just speculating

[remote lintel]

how what works

[silver lintel]

obtaining the digital items

[remote lintel]

you buy them

SE will announce how

[silver lintel]

yeah the latter is what i meant

[winged oyster]

Hmmm where can I get a shadowbringers cd key cheap

might be worth it to get it while I wait then

[remote lintel]

check newegg and greenmangaming

[winged oyster]

so I can get to 80

[cobalt mauve]

Is there a way to fix the UI messing up positions of stuff when i resize window

Its REALLY annoyin

[sullen lark]

Do I have to clear Delubrum Reginae at least once through the quest before I can start unlocking towards the 515 relic weapon?

[tender tapir]

Quick question: can you burn down ARR The Second coil of Bahamut savages t1-4 quickly now if it’s Unsync or do we still have to respect mechanics?

[silver ruin]

yes

[sullen lark]

Alright, thanks

[silver ruin]

can burn at 80

[strange lintel]

Nael might be really hard on some jobs unless that’s changed

Last I checked it was basically impossible

[modest igloo]

nael might hurt but if you have tank at 80 and 510 should be ok

[strange lintel]

If you let any golems combine you lose

Warrior might be your best bet to solo

And proper timing of IR

Probably infinitely more doable to bring 2-3 people

[obsidian patio]

Killing the golems themselves is super easy

Main trouble is surviving the spare meteors

Since they each explode for 20k damage or so

[strange lintel]

Also

You have to win before you get double iced

Which is not much time

I’m fairly certainly double ice is instant death no matter what

[twilit arch]

ye, you want to burst her around 45% iirc

[strange lintel]

T8 also requires you to win before you get sucked into the group stacks

But that’s likely not that hard to do anymore solo

[rigid narwhal]

47%

if you hit 46% she will start casting

[twilit arch]

ah ok, i knew it was in the 40s somewhere

[rigid narwhal]

[winged oyster]

Are all tank classes pretty equal right now? Or is there a clear better choice?

[remote lintel]

theyre equal

[winged oyster]

looks like best buy has it for $29.99

I have my bro get it for me and just read me the cd key.

[remote lintel]

did you buy the game on steam

[fathom canyon]

Paladin is a pretty beginner friendly tank tho

[remote lintel]

theyre all pretty beginner friendly

[winged oyster]

no I had the game since before it became ARR

I stopped at stormblood cause I had a kid, but she's 3 now and in preschool

so I got time again

I have DK70, BRD70. RDM65

I'll probably stick with DK for easy parties

[oblique yew]

does interject work on bosses?

[remote lintel]

yes

[gleaming mist]

interject only works if a mob has a flashing castbar for their ability

[shrewd owl]

!faq interject

[zinc orbit]

Interrupt

[knotty spindle]

Hello guys

The free login campaign isn't working for me even though I'm eligible?

[warped nest]

Have you paid for subscription?

The gifted days from buying Starter or Complete Edition doesn't count

[toxic mantle]

MSQ is at level 17 while I’m at 27, is it worth leveling 2 jobs at once to soak up the xp or am I better off just being ahead of the curve?

[neon aspen]

im at 68.5

i need to get over the hump

to 70 so i can just bozja my way to 80

[warped nest]

@toxic mantle up to you

Don't forget that you can pick up Samurai, red Mage, Gunbreaker, or dancer when you reach level 50 and 60 respectively

Even if you don't go with two classes right now

You can always do it at lvl 50/60

(they starts at 50 and 60)

[toxic mantle]

Yeah I guess sticking with one class for now also helps me breeze through ARR so I’ll probably just wait till 50/60

[warped nest]

Have fun

[earnest sage]

im new to this game just curious how do you use the item in your inventory ?

double click or left click or?

[forest sage]

right click > use

you can put them on a hotbar for easier usage if it's something you use a lot

like food and what not

[earnest sage]

ok

[rain heart]

Hey with the illusion filter i have rename?

[flint kernel]

is it normal to wait 20min for Copperbell Mines dungeon ?

[remote lintel]

are you a dps

[proud willow]

20-30 minutes for a dps dungeon queue during off hours is about right

[flint kernel]

yes

[remote lintel]

then yes

[rain heart]

I'm wating since 2 hour for raid '-'

[flint kernel]

❤️ ok thanks

[remote lintel]

which raid

[proud willow]

2 hours is pretty unusual

[rain heart]

The first for quest

[remote lintel]

you mean a trial?

[rain heart]

I mean the march of the brave ( translation )

[proud willow]

hmm, I don't know what raid that is

[proud willow]

Cape Westwind, I think

That's in the Trial Roulette so it shouldn't normally be a long wait

[rain heart]

I want level up for a filter 😭

[proud willow]

Check your language options, maybe? You should check multiple boxes if you're in EU

[rain heart]

already use all language

[proud willow]

how strange! that's a really long wait

[frozen crater]

is there anyway for me to report hackers? I was in the middle of a dialogue when I saw 3 of these names with random letters speed hack into the room, level, and speed back out

[rain heart]

😭

[proud willow]

yep, go to System menu, Support Desk, Contact Us

and click the Report Cheating button

[frozen crater]

Nice, thank you

[remote lintel]

bots get banned in waves anyway

[toxic glen]

Is moogle event a day from now or two days?

[remote lintel]

tomorrow

[frozen crater]

Jesus, this must be a hotspot for them. I saw 6+ of them pop in and out while I was reporting them. This is my first time seeing any botters/hackers

[slate arrow]

it happens.

All you can do is report and move on.

Don't try to interact as the bot team and the GM team are two seperate entities

[sullen lark]

About the Loathsome Memories, other than Crystal Tower and critical engagements, where else can you get them?

and do you need to be on that class during the engagement to get them to drop?

[toxic glen]

No you can be any class

As long as the quest is active you'll get them

[sullen lark]

Thanks, does this also apply to the other memories you need further down the line?

[toxic glen]

Yeah

[little swift]

yes quest active is the most important

you can get them in CLL if you don't count that as a critical engagement

[toxic glen]

Also Castrum Lacus Litore is the best way to get them

[little swift]

you get 5 on completion

[sullen lark]

Alright, I'll try to get into one

How often does CLL show up?

Is it every hour or something?

[remote lintel]

yes

[toxic glen]

Can try to instance hop to get one or get an instance where it's about to pop

[sullen lark]

Wish there was an easier way to determine how old an instance is

[forest sage]

open the player list, if there's anyone that has a low remaining duration it's an old instance, if the oldest person has over 2hours left(120+ mins) then it'll spawn around when that person hits 120

[sullen lark]

There's someone with 45m remaining

[forest sage]

yeah so it's old, I personally just tried getting into fresh ones to get a guaranteed spawn time

and then afked until then

[sullen lark]

Is the spawn rate random once an instance gets old enough?

[forest sage]

I honestly don't know, I'd assume it's still one hour, but that's after the previous CLL ended I'd assume

and it becomes hard to tell with accuracy at that point

[slate arrow]

For Bozja? No, it's guaranteed one hour after the instance spawns, and one hour after castrum despawns

[forest sage]

fresh instances are fairly easy to know when it'll spawn, older instances well you have to check every now and then unless you see the previous instance ending

[sullen lark]

I was actually in one yesterday, a fresh instance that spawned one, and only 4 people joined cuz it was late xD

[rain heart]

Hey with the illusion filter i have rename?

[proud willow]

the illusion filter?

[neat mauve]

Is there no way to transfer gear set and other configuration stuff to a new computer? I got a laptop and all of my stuff is gone basically even though I did the backup and restore thing

its not a huge deal, just kind of annoying

[proud willow]

there seems to be two different Backup/Restore features

[neat mauve]

OH

i didnt know that

[proud willow]

the one that's actually on the character screen when logging in

has your hotbars and gearsets

[rain heart]

yu

[neat mauve]

omfg

okay thank you xD

[rain heart]

this

[proud willow]

ah, that's called Fantasia. It does not let you change your name

[rain heart]

Bruh

i have a elf name but i want become a neko 😦

for my actual stuff how that work i have new ?

[proud willow]

your stuff like your equipment? all equipment will change to match your new race/gender, except for items that are race-specific or gender-specific

[rain heart]

yu

[proud willow]

Also, you'll get a free Fantasia with one of the level 50 MSQs

it's the only free Fantasia

[rain heart]

Yeah i know but blocked because dont find a group for my raid

[proud willow]

still queued for Cape Westwind? I kind of suspect that you might be experiencing a bug

[rain heart]

oO

[proud willow]

It's a very very fast and easy fight whether it's synced or unsynced, so you might want to just ask someone to do it unsynced with you

[gloomy mortar]

Who has the best howto videos on housing/clipping design etc?

[split yacht]

[shrewd viper]

like.... absolute best in slot for everything?

[ancient whale]

yea

per se

[little swift]

A couple weeks at least

[rain heart]

Ewh how i become ninja?

[ancient whale]

assuming i get all the drops i need in raids right?

[shrewd viper]

depends on job and how hard you get funneled but youd have to do the most recent savage raid tier

[little swift]

Revelation farming for cryptlurker as well

[shrewd viper]

limsa l

u need another job at level 10

and then go to limsa lominsa lower decks

[little swift]

And completed lv10 class quest

If you don't have that done you can't unlock new classes

[gloomy mortar]

How do you sleep at your house? Or is that only in Inns

[ancient whale]

so best case scenario fully kitted dragoon takes about a month-ish

BEST case Scenario

[shrewd viper]

only inns to do the sleep logout+animation thing

[shrewd viper]

yea

[shrewd viper]

u can do /doze and youll sleep in the bed but thats purely aesthetic stuff

[ancient whale]

and to do raids just to get items poetic gear is fine for raids?

[shrewd viper]

uh

poetic gear would be like level 70 gear

[ancient whale]

0.0

[shrewd viper]

the best entrance gear to the newest raid tier is the Exarchic crafted gear

[ancient whale]

should i start preperaring to gear up at level 70 or wait till im 80

[shrewd viper]

wait until 80

[ancient whale]

do i have to ask a crafter or is that like poetics as well where i can do it dailyu

[shrewd viper]

need to ask a crafter or buy from marketboard

exarchic gear is item level 510

you require to be item level 500 to enter the first fight of this tier

[ancient whale]

endgame IL is 530??

[forest sage]

yeah

with weapon being 535 from the last savage raid fight

[ancient whale]

and thats only in savage raid

[forest sage]

currently yes

[shrewd viper]

when 5.5 drops youll be able to get some stuff thats like close-ish

[forest sage]

in 5.5 you'll be able to get upgrade materials once a week to upgrade cryptlurker(lvl 80 tome gear) to 530

[gloomy mortar]

What level are you now?

[forest sage]

excluding weapon

[ancient whale]

is there anytime where they will take off the weekly runs i heard they eventually take it away

[shrewd viper]

5.5 yeah

[forest sage]

well not 5.5 for savage

5.56 or 5.57 for savage

basically odd numbered patches(so like 5.5) are catchup patches, they make it easier to get better gear and slowly nerf current tier content, until next tier(or in this case, next expansion)

[gloomy mortar]

If you’re not lvl80 yet Do Hunt trains to accrue tomes, so when you hit lvl 80, you can buy 3-4 pieces of 520 cryptlurker gear, and fill the rest with Ecarchic 510

[ancient whale]

ok ty

idk what hunt trains yet

[forest sage]

unless you spend several weeks getting from 71 to 80, you're not buying more than one accessory tbh

[gloomy mortar]

Maybe ask your FC to get you invited to a Hunt Train Linkshell

[ancient whale]

I don't have one 🙂

im currently level 69 almost to 70

[gloomy mortar]

Ah, well you might want to join any FC for that 10% Exp buff lol

[ancient whale]

is that any level C?

FC?

[gloomy mortar]

Free Company

[ancient whale]

no no i mean like does the FC have to be at a certain level

[forest sage]

they need to be rank 8 at least for buffs

[ancient whale]

^^

ty

[gloomy mortar]

👍

[ancient whale]

is leveling from 70 - 80 longer? than 1-70?

[gloomy mortar]

Going 70-80, if you do all the daily roulettes, you’ll go up 1.5 levels a day, so it will take about a week

[drifting ruin]

Faster if you do beast tribe dailies too

It's definitely faster than 1-70

[gloomy mortar]

Doing all the dailies as a DPS , takes about 3.5 hours, which includes waiting times

[drifting ruin]

(beast tribe dailies take like 5-10 minutes, there's literally no reason not to do them)

[gloomy mortar]

Pixies tribe give big exp

[ancient whale]

is there a specific level do i have to do it the beast tribe or just any levels?

[drifting ruin]

for pixies you should only need to be level 70

I'm not sure if you need to progress in the ShB MSQ for it

[gloomy mortar]

If you’re burnt out on grinding, just do the Pixies beast tribe. You get about 5-6mil exp for 3 quests

[drifting ruin]

maybe someone else can answer that

[ancient whale]

im like barely in stormblood

im like 5 quest in and im level 70

[gloomy mortar]

Ah, then just grind roulettes and Hunt trains

Make sure you can fly in Stormblood though

[ancient whale]

yea i try to get all the aether along the way on each area

[gloomy mortar]

👍

[ancient whale]

ngl i almost feel burnt out lmao

[radiant canyon]

Just turned in the bitter memories from the dungeon for Resistance weapon. Where's the next part?

[fresh wing]

did daily reset eyt

yet*

[ancient whale]

8est

so no

about 5 more hours

[little swift]

Complete delubrum reginae in bozja to unlock the next steps

[leaden ginkgo]

How do you dye your chocobo? And do I need an FC to do it?

[little swift]

You need a chocobo stable

That can be fc/personal house/ apartment

[whole wasp]

You feed it stuff when the choco is stabled. FC is one way but you can also just buy ans apartment and use the apartment stable

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh dammit

I don't have the money for that🙃

[rain heart]

i'm allowed tu Change my class Archer to ninja?

[shrewd viper]

as long as its level 10

and sorry to assume if im wrong

but youre coming from another mmo?

in this game any character can do any job

[rain heart]

yu

[shrewd viper]

theres no restriction you have have as many or as few as you want

on same character

and swap at any time

[rain heart]

Okai cool i need become level 10 to change my character face and change my class just 7€ to change the name '-'

[shrewd viper]

yes you get to level 10 and then go to Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks and get the Rogue class

[little swift]

The free fantasia is from completion of the lv50 main story campaign quest

[rain heart]

Yu i'm level 49 but i have problem to finish my quest

[little swift]

Changing your class can be done anytime out of combat

And not inside an instance

[rain heart]

How i change my class when i join the guild?

[little swift]

Equip the new weapon

[rain heart]

Yeah is good ty

[little swift]

And save the gear set

[ancient whale]

can u que on savage range in duty finder is that more of a party finder thing

[obsidian patio]

Savage/extreme content is done mainly in the party finder

[rain heart]

SERIOUSLY i test my new class and i'm blocked because bad class xd

[obsidian patio]

?

[ancient whale]

ty+

[rain heart]

When I wanted to try my new class a group for my quest appeared and I could join it

( deepl)

[shrewd viper]

ive never found a non party finder savage run

[ancient whale]

how hard are savage run just wanna get a general idea

[shrewd viper]

you need to like

know your basic rotation

and watch a vid

shouldnt be that bad if youve watched a video

besides like 12

theres definitely some ppl who dont get enough oxygen to their brain in pf tho

[silver ruin]

you're gonna have wipes

[tender dirge]

how come goberin doesnt sell the emporers set?

i wanna hide this ugly necklace

[silver ruin]

and prob spend atleast an hour (likely more) progging each fight

[robust crow]

one hour?

try like 3

[storm crow]

what level do i have to be to unlock dark knight

[robust crow]

you have to beat ARR entirely

[little swift]

!faq hwjobs

[zinc orbit]

Heavensward Jobs and How to Unlock Them

Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (DRK, Tank), Astrologian (AST, Healer), and Machinist (MCH, Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".
Since the 5.3 update DRK, AST, and MCH are now included in the free trial/Starter edition of the game, though the unlock requirements are still the same.

Job Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13,9), quest name is "Our End".
Astrologian - Jannequinard at The Pillars (15,10), quest name is "Stairway to the Heavens".
Machinist - Stephanivien at Foundation (8,10), quest name is "Savior of Skysteel".

[tender dirge]

Is there any glamours I can get at a lower level that either hide my necklace or is minimal

[obsidian patio]

You can get The Emperor’s New Necklace which is an invisible item

Usually cheap on the marketboard or can be bought for cheaper from a vendor after leveling up any crafter but Culinarian to 15

[gloomy mortar]

What necklace is it

[obsidian patio]

The Emperor’s New Necklace

[tender dirge]

I'll check market

Tysm

[gloomy mortar]

👍

[tender dirge]

If I drag and drop my game folder from my hard drive to a ssd will it be fine or do I have to reinstall the whole game

[noble patio]

When was the last time the complete edition came on sale?

[hexed shuttle]

Is there a way to remove Materia in bulk?

[surreal phoenix]

it will be fine.. works also if we copy/move the game folder from pc to pc

[leaden ginkgo]

Just how many sidequests are there

Non blue ones

[pulsar escarp]

around january, I hope next sale is soon haha

[noble patio]

How long was the sale before that?

[glossy flare]

I don't know of any database where you can distinguish between blue and non blue like that.

But all in all you have ~1500 sidequests

[tender dirge]

can you only get black dye from the cash shop

[glossy flare]

You can also buy it with gold chocobo feathers if you happen to have a few of those lying around

Jet black dye that is

There is also soot black, which isn't quite as dark though

[leaden ginkgo]

You can buy those off MB

[glossy flare]

Yea those come from ventures

Or Bozja

But both are very rare drops

[tender dirge]

awesome ty

[leaden ginkgo]

Exchange it in Mor Dhona

[tender dirge]

ok ty once agsin

[pulsar escarp]

oh man I exchanged one of those and lost my mind so hard when I tried it on lmao

[noble patio]

Go recruit more friends for more choco vouchers.

[tender dirge]

damn 390k for jet black dye haha

question, is there a way to teleport to my room without going to innkeeper

[glossy flare]

nope

You can get a house and put a mini aetheryte in front of it

And your house can offer the same utility

[tender dirge]

alright 🙂

[leaden ginkgo]

Might you link me the source of that number?

[glossy flare]

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/quest/?category2=3

[leaden ginkgo]

Appreciate it

[nocturne mural]

May i ask you which european server most of you guys are on ?

[dire prawn]

All of them

Which one you pick is 110% irrelevant

[nocturne mural]

I used to be on Spriggan

should i change ?

[dire prawn]

It's a preferred server so nope

[nocturne mural]

okay nice

[dire prawn]

There's absolutely no reason to

[nocturne mural]

thank you

[tender dirge]

how do i unlock more hairstyles

[tender dirge]

are they hard to get?

[sullen lark]

What happens to drops like Memories if your inventory was full?

[brittle valve]

is there a place where i can find people to do hunting logs together?

[glossy flare]

There are multiple ways to get them. Ranging from cash shop, pvp or gold saucer activities for example. Depends on what specific hairstyle you want

How hard they are to get also depends on what you want. Though I would call any of it hard, maybe time consuming though

[leaden ginkgo]

@brittle valve You can probably do most of them alone, if you too weak on gear just ask any person for help and they would one shot for you

[worthy basin]

what does drifting means in executing ogcds?

[sullen lark]

First time hearing drifting in FF14

[glossy flare]

It's something that occurs when you mess up the timing of the ogcd so you delay your gcd

[leaden ginkgo]

I think its when you execute it late so it drifts off the normal time of executing it?

[tender dirge]

Alright ill research ty

[silver ruin]

^

[glossy flare]

So the timing of your next gcd drifts "backward"

[silver ruin]

er

what dan said

[glossy flare]

which can be a problem because you try to align everything you have with party buff windows

[silver ruin]

classes like rdm/dnc can really get screwed up by drifting certain ogcds

yup

[leaden ginkgo]

DRG doesnt really trouble from it if you just keep an open mind when doing back to back Life of Dragon

[glossy flare]

If you look at any guides for your job the rotations are usually designed in a way that makes them align with the usual buff windows

Just FYI

[silver ruin]

depends, if you drift it bad enough or enough times you can lose a use

@ dan

[leaden ginkgo]

Dont be like me and Geirskogul before you Mirage Dive and lose a perfect tri buff Life of Dragon

It really hurts especially in Savage

[glossy flare]

On the other hand: it doesn't really matter anywhere else 🤷

[silver ruin]

ults

[glossy flare]

Well yea, obviously

[worthy basin]

elixir drift

[winged fossil]

Hi all. If I'm clicking a placard for an estate that's supposedly vacant but it's not showing the 'not yet ready for sale' sign (ie it's showing the normal placard), what does that mean? There's an estabished house there so I don't think someone just took it.

[upbeat saffron]

is this a bug ? im doing "in pursuit of the past" and trying to enter "Stone Vigil" Dungeon, but when i click it a "Guildhest" comes up instead, which ive done twice now.

its a MSQ

[glossy flare]

You can queue for multiple things at a time so make sure whatever guildhest it is isn't checked

[zinc finch]

what's the best stat for BLM to slot?

for materia

[upbeat saffron]

Thanks Cypehr

[drifting ruin]

@zinc finch Spell speed for comfort > crit/dh > det

[pulsar escarp]

exactly how much influence does equipment level have on your damage? just got ifrit roulette when trying to level machinist and I was at bottom of aggro and pretty miffed about it haha, maybe it's just my own problem

[zinc finch]

Thank you yam !

[drifting ruin]

ilvl is the most important number for damage

[pulsar escarp]

I did figure a pattern as well in damage dealing when doing a dungeon, copperbell I was dpsing against a black mage and I had an AoE and was consistently 2 on aggro until boss fights, where I guess naturally BLM's single target damage picks up

[drifting ruin]

Yeah blm sucks at aoe early on

[pulsar escarp]

yeah definitely

[glossy flare]

I wouldn't worry too much about comparing yourself at anything that is sub 80

[frigid grotto]

what if i have been trying to figure out how to unlock bowl of embers (hard) for 2 hours but dont understand what anyone on various forums are saying

[pulsar escarp]

oh sure but it's a bit fun

[glossy flare]

Because different jobs have different highs and lows

[upbeat saffron]

another questio. i have completed all my Lancer Company Quests, it was up to level 30. im level 44 now, yet in action tab there are many Lancer Abilities Jobs that i have not unlocked, some say "Level30 and 40" and those i havent unlocked altho i am already level 44...

[pulsar escarp]

usually I'm healer/tank so I either have highest aggro or one of the lowest and don't have to usually care so much

but now I tried dps I'm usually happy about myself being 2 on aggro list

even if it doesn't matter

[glossy flare]

Are you sure you have completed the dragoon job quests?

[pulsar escarp]

I don't have an ACT so it's my way of trying to figure if I'm doing alright

[drifting ruin]

@frigid grotto You need to complete ARR (past the praetorium) and then speak with urianger in the waking sands

[upbeat saffron]

i went to the lancer guild, checked in, and no quest left to do. lancer quest are only up to level 30 from what i saw

[drifting ruin]

or it might be minfilia at the waking sands, it's one of those two

[glossy flare]

I am talking about dragoon quests, your advanced class

not lancer quests

Lancer stops being a thing after lvl 30

[upbeat saffron]

where are they located?

oh

[glossy flare]

they should be listed at the top left

under your current msq

[upbeat saffron]

Thanks man

[glossy flare]

always make sure to do these quests asap

they are very important for unlocking skills

[devout stump]

I was told that after you complete a law and order weapon to the current cap. You can then start other Law and Order weapons and only have to run castrum, instead of the 24 mans/fates. Is this the case?

[frigid grotto]

im gonna look atm my quets rq, but i think ive done that ?? im at the quest Good Intentions and its locked bc,, well ill just grab a picture

[pulsar escarp]

how good's samurai's aoe? I'm thinking of picking it up for the sweet melee damage™ and though I know it slaps on single target idk anything about aoe

[glossy flare]

Eh, it's servicable

Nothing to write home about though

[drifting ruin]

Go to the waking sands and talk to anyone there, you should get quests to fight the primals again

[upper cove]

@frigid grotto go into waking sands, urianger and papalymo should have blue quests for you

[zinc finch]

you can actually use 2 of your AoE's for your combo build to Midare Setsugekka

[pulsar escarp]

eh then I guess so. what class has roughly best aoe rn? smth like smn?

[zinc finch]

it's all good

[pulsar escarp]

naturally haha

[frigid grotto]

i talked with urianger and ended up losing the quest after completing it. im not sure where to continue with it after the first part of it

[glossy flare]

All of the casters have good aoe

Not sure who has the best, but it hardly matters anyway

[frigid grotto]

im sorry if im not making sense, this shit fried my brain

[pulsar escarp]

oh sure

[upper cove]

Oh wait they are

Sorry

[drifting ruin]

@frigid grotto You should have these quests:
"Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It"
"In a Titan Spot"
"In For Garuda Awakening"

[pulsar escarp]

just the number 2 growing on the aggro on the list makes the happy checmicals in my brain go brr and I'm trying to figure out the best dps to keep me up there

[drifting ruin]

if they've disappeared, you've probably unlocked the trials and just need to run them

[upper cove]

@frigid grotto you need to actually clear the (hard) trials

[drifting ruin]

They should just be in the duty finder under trials

[zinc finch]

lvl 39 blm

i wonder what's next

[dire prawn]

lvl 40 blm

[zinc finch]

[frigid grotto]

🤷

[zinc finch]

blizzard 3 apparently

god cutters cry... i'd almost rather do POTD

[pulsar escarp]

man servers are empty rn

[frigid grotto]

i got a quest from urianger but i cant remember wtf it was called

[pulsar escarp]

feelsbad

[zinc finch]

there's some time zone fuckery goin on

[upper cove]

@frigid grotto doesn't matter. The quest itself completes and gives you the new trial. You need to clear all 3 new hard trials to get the next MSQ

[gloomy mortar]

Do Chocobos get damage bonuses for hitting in rear?

[frigid grotto]

well i didnt complete some part of it. there must be multiple quests to get it otherwise i should have the trial now

im trying to find what he gave me so i can backtrack

[drifting ruin]

Screenshot quest journal

[upper cove]

Iirc it was pretty straight forward

[drifting ruin]

I already told you the quest names

[upper cove]

After you clear praetorium and advance the msq a little

Peeps in waking sand just give you the quest straight up

[upper cove]

Completed ones

[frigid grotto]

you told me them but i never got those ones so i dunno

[drifting ruin]

Then go to the waking sands

like we said

[frigid grotto]

im there

[drifting ruin]

And there are no blue quests?

[drifting ruin]

Go into the room where minfilia is

and see if she has a quest to give you

[upper cove]

Why not take all of them and see how it goes

[drifting ruin]

Those aren't relevant

[frigid grotto]

im gonna bOOF

she had a quest </3

thank yall

im so dumb

this shit,,

i

[drifting ruin]

Yeah I told you to talk to minfilia earlier

[upper cove]

🤣 👍

[frigid grotto]

yeah i missed that i guess

ffxiv is not meant for dumbasses like me

[pulsar escarp]

trust me there's always more of a dumbass in xiv

the fact you ask about things already puts you above most the idiots in xiv

[lime crane]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to start a first charakter in ff14 and found the recommendation to start on a preferred server, but "Twintania" on "Light" is blocked. Do you know if it gets opened again during the day? Or is it pointless to wait?

[leaden ginkgo]

Do I still get all the chests when I run a dungeon unsync? If I want to farm for glamours

[frigid grotto]

i was this close 🤏 to canceling the sub so i dunno

[drifting ruin]

yes

[pulsar escarp]

oh you already subbed?

[upper cove]

I'm still milking the free trial 🤣 well milking is an overstatement. I'm a few quests away from HW and I'm thoroughly enjoying the game. Gotta get 3mil MGP and max my beast tribes yo

[zinc finch]

Is POTD still dcent for EXP?

[pulsar escarp]

same haha but I'mjust capped on msq and waiting eagerly for complete edition discount

so I'm just trying to level stuff like pld and mch

I want to try potd

[toxic glen]

Yeah it's still a good way to level from what Ive heard

[frigid grotto]

funny story. i first got the game a year ago and just finished the main part of arr. finally decided to get back into it so now im suffering the 80 quests till heavensward

[upper cove]

Thats me waiting on discount right now

[toxic glen]

I was a coward, took one look at the 100 quests and went nope

[pulsar escarp]

hope it comes before easter so I can go ham

[toxic glen]

I bought the skip

[upper cove]

Post ARR quests wasn't so bad

Aren't so bad*

[pulsar escarp]

they're actually great

end of ARR and HW is chef kiss

[upper cove]

Yea

[pulsar escarp]

super hyped for SB and of course shb

there's no harm in watching trailers right?

[toxic glen]

I wouldnt

Kinda spoilers

[pulsar escarp]

I watched SB trailer after I finished HW but it would be okay to.. watch shb trailer?

oh yikes

I'll stay away from it then lol

but SB trailer legit cool

[toxic glen]

Like it wont make sense but yeah

[pulsar escarp]

out of context spoilers I guess

[toxic glen]

Better to be blind

[pulsar escarp]

like I could see how SB trailer has oout of context spoilers if you didn't finish hw

[toxic glen]

Like "Oh this characters still a thing" spoilers

[pulsar escarp]

oh I see

'oh they're still alive' kind of thing?

[toxic glen]

Yeah

[glossy flare]

Go check out the trailer theme though, it's great. 😄

[pulsar escarp]

oh

I've been listening to that thing

since even before I started XIV

I liek to appreciate the music first without screaming over wtf a mechanic's doing to me

so I've been through a lot of the music

[toxic glen]

So it used to work if you bought the DLCs it would show the last DLC you bought as the opener

[pulsar escarp]

means I get even extra hype when I actually hear it in fight

[toxic glen]

They changed it so now it shows where you're up to

[pulsar escarp]

ic ic ic

yeah I just have the ARR cg

I had to watch HW on youtube

because free trial doesn't change title screen

[glossy flare]

Well there really is only one boss that actually uses that theme as a track I think, but understandable

[pulsar escarp]

sad I missed out on the HW title screen

[toxic glen]

So if you had shb but were at HW it would only show the HW opening which is a great change tbh

[pulsar escarp]

apprently it's nice

[toxic glen]

You can still view it Im pretty sure

[glossy flare]

I think it has Dragonsong as a theme? So heck yeah it's nice

[pulsar escarp]

||nidhogg||hw spoiler uses the theme right? doesn't ||hades||shb as well?

it does lol it was super cool

[glossy flare]

Yes

[pulsar escarp]

pretty awesome

I wish the og theme was used more though because I really like it

[lime crane]

push

[glossy flare]

It does play in some cutscenes

[pulsar escarp]

but I've also heard SB music and it's like.. woah

[glossy flare]

just not during actual gameplay

[frigid grotto]

i just wanna thank yam for putting up with my bullshit

u mean a lot to me

[pulsar escarp]

Yeah, I thought it worked really well in You Know The Part

wish they played the chorus but awesome

[toxic glen]

I would just start on any server tbh

The extra exp really doesn't matter that much

[lime crane]

do you know how much extra exp it gives?

[pulsar escarp]

isn't it a shit ton

[toxic glen]

You'll most likely be higher than the MSQ all the time regardless

[lime crane]

I cannot find any ressources on the benefit one get on a preferred server

[glossy flare]

Double xp until you hit lvl 70

then nothing

[pulsar escarp]

oh yeah, at the end of HW, in that ||one cg with omega/dragon, is it the same music that plays in phase 1 of shinryu??||sb/hw spoiler

[glossy flare]

But that xp bonus really is worth shit

Because you need main story progression to access the content appropriate for that level

Which is enough to get you there even without the buff

[pulsar escarp]

legit it's great, shouldn't you also try and make the most of it by avoiding lvl 70 till you get mroe classes up?

[glossy flare]

I guess that's true, you can use it to level multiple alt jobs

[lime crane]

ty

[pulsar escarp]

I mean it's my plan

gonna use it for mch.. rdm.. pld... sam...

[lime crane]

ok

[pulsar escarp]

just gotta.. chill at lvl 69 for a while lol

[glossy flare]

Use it for ARR classes because early level classes always feel so slow 😄

[pulsar escarp]

pld..

life saver

gladiator is the most boring shit

[glossy flare]

I mean it is a tank so you at least get fast dungeon queues and stuff

[pulsar escarp]

that too

but with the bonus on top of that

[toxic glen]

Good thing about MCH is once you hit 60 you have your full rotation for single target minus 1 or 2 assist skills

[pulsar escarp]

it's like how food gives you 3% and people encourage you to use it, a bonus is a bonus and eventually it all adds up

[glossy flare]

• armoury bonus

[pulsar escarp]

yeah that must be nice

[lime crane]

initially my plan was to go as a tank, since it is my favourite kind of playstyle. But it requires deep knowledge I guess

[glossy flare]

it really does add up

[lime crane]

so I am trying a healer

[toxic glen]

Nah you can go in blind

[glossy flare]

Actually tank is kinda the easiest role in this game

[lime crane]

that sounds smart...

[pulsar escarp]

not really! just go in, say you're new, and it's mostly just gaining experience

eventually it's all figured out

every tank started somewhere lol

[toxic glen]

Actually the opposite most of the time you can fail more mechanics because you're bulky

[pulsar escarp]

right haha

you can fuck things up and still live

[glossy flare]

You also have rather simple rotations because the expectation is that you have other things to worry about

[lime crane]

ah ok

then I can run the warrior

nice

[glossy flare]

Though in reality you rarely do have stuff to worry about outside of endgame content

[pulsar escarp]

sure thing

play what you want

all jobs are nicely balanced

[glossy flare]

Yea, be the angry guy

smash stuff

[lime crane]

this white mage sounds fun as well

[glossy flare]

I dunno, my warrior is lvl 30 or something

wait not, 56

phew

[lime crane]

but then I am glad that I missunderstood the importance of mechanics

[pulsar escarp]

I'm working on pld

probably gonna struggle with so many skills LMAO

[lime crane]

I heared new players (esp. tanks) get votekicked

[glossy flare]

god no

[pulsar escarp]

that's honestly rude though

no way

only if you don't listen to advice

[glossy flare]

If anything this game has a rep to be very friendly to new players. As in the community is, not the game itself

[upper cove]

PLD was my first job. It was great in easing me into the role

[glossy flare]

Just be polite about you being new

[pulsar escarp]

as long as you try and you are active in chat when people address you

[upper cove]

HOLY

[pulsar escarp]

and your sprout is self explanatory but it doesn't hurt to also say in chat you're new

[glossy flare]

You get an icon next to your name that tells people you are a new player. It stays there until you hit lvl 70 and finish the main story up to the start of Shadowbringers

[upper cove]

I'm going to miss my sprout icon when it goes

[glossy flare]

And people are usually very lenient towards those players

[pulsar escarp]

definitely

[pulsar escarp]

I mean at that point, welcome to lvl 70 though, you'll be more experienced

I'm just trying to get the learning out of the way before I hit 70

[upper cove]

To be fair, I feel like I'm starting to understand the game much easier now

[pulsar escarp]

so I'm not a shitty player at 70

[toxic glen]

Oh trust me you do miss it, means people expect things from you

[upper cove]

I have 1 of each role leveled close to fre trial cap

[pulsar escarp]

definitely

[glossy flare]

You also have to finish the msq up until ShB starts

[lime crane]

alright thanks for the hints

[glossy flare]

You will definitely hit 70 before that point

[pulsar escarp]

I'll probably still say in chat, 'only been playing for *insert time here *'

[lime crane]

I will start of with the warrior then, maybe alt for the white mage (holy nuke looks fun)

[pulsar escarp]

or smth

[lime crane]

and I will start on the SHIVA then

[glossy flare]

I mean it is still polite to mention it's your first time running some dungeon or trial or whatever

[upper cove]

You're right holy is very satisfying

[glossy flare]

FYI, that's the unofficial german server

[upper cove]

That being said, u til you get your blood lily, you only have 3 dps spells

[pulsar escarp]

yeah, say if you're running it first time

[glossy flare]

Dunno if you care about that

[pulsar escarp]

it's a nice greeting haha

[lime crane]

yep, I read that 🙂

[pulsar escarp]

o/ is the classic, I use it more if I'm dps

and I say more if I'm tank

[toxic glen]

But Holy

[pulsar escarp]

or healer

[upper cove]

Holy is indeed the holy grail

[pulsar escarp]

I say 'I hope it all goes well'

[upper cove]

I use it just for the stuns against 1 or 2 enemies sometimes

[toxic glen]

Who needs heals when the tank doesnt take damage?

[glossy flare]

Lemme tell you as a tank: we love holy

[toxic glen]

Oh boy do we

[pulsar escarp]

what's holy again

[glossy flare]

WHM aoe spell

[toxic glen]

AoE stun

[pulsar escarp]

ahhhh

[glossy flare]

which also stuns

[pulsar escarp]

oh yeah jesus

I donm't get paired w many whm but that sounds awesome

I only play astro so it's gravity town

[toxic glen]

That and for DRK if you needa pop Living Dead and the healer knows it's pretty safe with Bene

[lime crane]

oh but one more question: are there less tanks or healers?

[earnest wraith]

tanks

[glossy flare]

You mean players or classes?

[lime crane]

tank players 🙂

[earnest wraith]

tank players

[pulsar escarp]

I feel like the queue for tank is always longer than healer though...

[glossy flare]

Yeah then tanks I'd say

[toxic glen]

Less healers from what Ive seen

Healers like nearly always instant

[pulsar escarp]

yeah..

[earnest wraith]

both are almost instant tho

[glossy flare]

I mean it is hard to tell without any hard numbers 🤷

[pulsar escarp]

and when I play dps it's always.. a solid fifteen minutes and I'm like 32cnd on a list

I mean healer is actually instant

[toxic glen]

Healers is far more stressful of a job too in my opinion

[pulsar escarp]

for me tank is about two minutes

[earnest wraith]

I like playing as healer when tank do wall to wall pulling

[pulsar escarp]

healer is quite stressful lol but it could also be stressful for tank depending how low the healer lets you go LMAO but eventually oyu get numb to it

[earnest wraith]

so exciting to keep myself alive... I mean tanker

[pulsar escarp]

I was in copperbell the other day as mch and the tank got mad at the healer when they mistimed and let him die

[lime crane]

yeah, it was a subjective question, as in WOW dps need to wait 10 min for a ini

tank and heal is almost instant

[pulsar escarp]

the healer always let him get a bit low so I guess it's just balacing act

[glossy flare]

Well queue times for tanks and healers are both pretty short. Unless you queue for alliance raids (24 man content), those can take some time as a tank

Because you only need 3 tanks

[pulsar escarp]

yeah

alliances are more dps

[glossy flare]

Yeah, it's fastest for dps actually 😄

But that's just natural, you need 3 tanks, 6 healers and 15 dps

[pulsar escarp]

totally

it's standard for a noct ast to aspect helios before pull on boss right

I just do it because it's satisfying but it's a thing isn't it

[glossy flare]

No idea tbh, my healer-fu is weak

[pulsar escarp]

prolly better than mine, lvl 60 in most things

[toxic glen]

If the boss doesn't Roomwide AoE at the start it's kinda a waste I guess

[lime crane]

next step: character creation... so is there a advantage or disadvantage of races to jobs? I saw for the elves that they have slightly different stats

[pulsar escarp]

nahhh

doesn't matter

purely cosmetic

[earnest wraith]

race are just for cosmetics

[toxic glen]

But in randoms where they can die in seconds might be worth

[earnest wraith]

luv being lala paladin

like a kid trying to be brave

[toxic glen]

Very very very small stat differences between classes

[glossy flare]

All races do have different stats but the difference is, in the end, totally negligible

[pulsar escarp]

legit doesn't matter haha it's that small

[toxic glen]

Like unless you're ultra min maxing it aint worth it at all
