[cloud night]

I'm not lvl 50 yet, I just try to unlock ninja job

[sweet leaf]

3 wipes on heart of the creator and i honestly have no idea what's goign wrong lol

[honest anvil]

that lv guide should be updated to include bozja

look up whatever mechanics killed you then play around it

[sweet leaf]

i'm avoiding all i can, we wiped 3 times and now half the party has left

me and the RDM are doing the most dps and are the last to die, the sam and 4th dps always die immediately in the 2nd phase

i seem to be the one marked by Prey and i don't know if that means run away from the party or what

[faint flare]

Ga 100 is go away

[obsidian patio]

The prey marker in A11 is a bunch of aoes on you

The one with arrows pointing outward is ^^

[sweet leaf]

i usually die to it and then i get res'd into another aoe that kills me again

[faint flare]

Thats why you dont act immediately

When you raise

And use your res immunity

[sweet leaf]

yeah i saw someone with the 3 arrows, the first run someone ran over to me with it and killed me

[faint flare]

Thats promixity from that person

Its used quite often from now on in mechanics, usually when Its Flare

[sweet leaf]

ah, according to the people filling, wiping here and people leaving is normal lol

probably just gonna need patience

[faint flare]

Surprise people cant do basic mechanics

More news at 11

[idle lantern]

hi does anyone know a good way to farm poetics

[faint flare]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[faint flare]

See link

[idle lantern]

oh ok

sorry thanks

[faint flare]

There's nothing super special in A11

Just go away with the GA 100 mark and hide behind the things for propeller wind

[sweet leaf]

someone in chat said it was the shield crushes, whatever that means

[faint flare]

Oh yeah kill the Shield when it spawns

Can only be attacked from the front iirc

After that he dashes at someone for some damage

[sweet leaf]

ez

just took 5 new players

traded in our 2 healers, a tank, and 2 dps for a better squad lol

[wispy parcel]

do ya'll know if all the outfits on mogstation are dyable or only the ones that show color comparisons

[remote lintel]

hover over the outfit name on the page

[obsidian patio]

As a general rule of thumb if it’s an NPC outfit it’s not dyeable.

[remote lintel]

but you can also see if they have color comparison images

[wispy parcel]

rip in death

[burnt imp]

Any tips tanking ravana (hard in roulette)? I'm new to tanking in general. Last time I did it I accidentally ate 4 vuln stacks and didn't know why (poor healers), everyone just talks about fence or butterfly mechanics but didn't see anything about vuln stacks

[remote lintel]

were you main tank or off tank

also when he puts up shields you have to hit the sides of him that arent shielded

[faint flare]

Vuln stacks are universal fir "you got hit by stuff you shouldnt"

[wispy parcel]

just make sure to aviod aoe's and the boss is always facing north

or just away from the party in general cause most bosses have a cleave effect

[silver ruin]

yea cant really blame healers if you get vuln stacks

[burnt imp]

Yeah I know that's why I want to improve myself

[faint flare]

Dont stand in the bad

[polar hound]

Check on YouTube for a guide which can probably help you pin point which mechanic you're messing up.

[tender ice]

Is Summoner a healer? and Scholar is the DPS?

For Arcanist

[delicate field]

other way around

[burnt imp]

The other way around

[tender ice]

Gotcha

Is Scholar easy?

[delicate field]

yes

guys why do ppl sit in crystarium crafting Dwarven Mythril File all day even at level 80?

[remote lintel]

scholar can be harder than the other 2 healers at low levels

and can be harder to pick up since its a proactive healer instead of a reactive healer

[delicate field]

cause of the shields?

[remote lintel]

yes

[obsidian patio]

It’s used for a leve quest so people are probably making them to sell on the marketboard

[slate arrow]

Because Scholar isn't a "direct" healer you need to learn how to resource manage better as Scholar

You don't just hook up your book to the tank, you need to charge your book before you can heal, if that makes sense

[storm crow]

is there a really popular gshade template that people use

[remote lintel]

mostly preference

[eager widget]

What’s the max rank for a racing chocobo?

[brisk lintel]

Hi. recently playing the game again cuz of free to login campaign. i remember unpairing my physical one time password security token before quiting and now i cant seem to pair to the account anymore. it says serial number is incorrect

[obsidian patio]

Pedigree is 9, I think racing rank is 300 or so

[cunning raptor]

how much time do I have to buy a permit for a house after I bought the land? im missing a few thousand Gil but I REALLY wanna go to bed after cmaping it for so long >-<?

[eager widget]

thanks wynne 👋

[obsidian patio]

I’d contact support through the mogstation and see what they can do about it.

@cunning raptor 45 days or so

[cunning raptor]

oh thank god im gonna get some sleep Q-Q

[tender ice]

Is Arcanist classed as DPS before 30?

[remote lintel]

arcanist is a dps

[atomic forge]

Is it possible, and if so how expensive is it, to do a name and sex change.

[radiant canyon]

What is a good thing to dump Allegory into if I don't need the gear?

[obsidian patio]

$10 each. Name change is bought on the mogstation under “additional services” and race/gender change is done with the Fantasia from the FFXIV online store

[remote lintel]

@radiant canyon mats

[obsidian patio]

You also get one Fantasia for free from the story from the quest “The Ultimate Weapon” at level 50

[atomic forge]

Ah, the FAntasia doesn't come with a name change?

[remote lintel]

no

[radiant canyon]

Just sell em? or

[remote lintel]

yes mats to sell

[atomic forge]

Ty, that's bizarre

[radiant canyon]

Cause I don't have any crafters

copy thank ty

[little swift]

Its an appearance change not a character change

[atomic forge]

It's arbitrary 🙂

We could have a discussion on that elsewhere if you like 🙂

[little swift]

Not really necessary

People typically buy a lot of fantasias but don't really ever change their names

[earnest wraith]

Personally know a friend who bought 5-6 fantasias per month

[atomic forge]

In a game where gender/sex naming conventions are strict, selling those services piece meal seems greedy at best.

[remote lintel]

dont have to follow naming conventions

[atomic forge]

I suppose most folks probably don't care whether their character has a ridiculous name.

[faint flare]

Nope

Only RPers really care

[atomic forge]

I mean, I'm not an RPer in MMOs by any stretch of the imagination but I will tell you someone named "Thicc BootyLoots" is going to annoy the shit out of me.

[little swift]

turn their names off then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[atomic forge]

I am bias towards folks who give a shit about the setting and themes of the game, I suppose.

Well, it'll inform me a little on what kind of player I'm interacting with.

I'd rather know than not know the player doesn't care about being immersive.

[remote lintel]

its entirely possible that theyre an alt and their main does follow the environment of the game

also this game has flying cat couches and leather jacket outfits

[tender ice]

what does conjurer turn in to?

[faint flare]

White mage

[tender ice]

ty

[atomic forge]

I mean, those things absolutely appear in final fantasy games and I don't find them immersive breaking.

So, does that mean there is a service that changes both sex/gender and name?

I saw someone call it a "character change"?

[faint flare]

No, still separate

[remote lintel]

no

[atomic forge]

Oh that was a turn of phrase.

Got it

[faint flare]

Fantasia literally just takes yku back yo the character creator

To edit race, gender and all

[gusty hare]

how do you craft Exarchic set if with Handsaint + HQ Chilli crab you still don't get minimum stats?

[faint flare]

Minus name

[remote lintel]

dont think so

[obsidian patio]

Use melded Aesthete gear, or the final form of the Skysteel relic tool

[gusty hare]

ffs

thanks mate

[warped nest]

This is how it is designed

They made sure that you cannot bypass these stat requirements

[faint flare]

And you'll be really low on CP anyway

[gusty hare]

yeah, I just though I was good enough for endgame crafting after all I've been through, but it looks like I got a ton of grind more to do

[obsidian patio]

The scrip stuff is ideally for helping to make the current tier of crafting gear

[warped nest]

The only consolation I can provide is materials should be a lot cheaper now

[obsidian patio]

Since lightly melded crafting gear of a similar tier easily beats it

[glacial isle]

Can Aquapolis be done unsynced?

[remote lintel]

no

[warped nest]

Since we are months into the latest recipe

[remote lintel]

treasure map dungeons sync

[gusty hare]

i calculated using best scrip gear, can't get even close to crafting it

[warped nest]

Scrip gear to make Aesthete

[plain python]

does the moogle event start today?

[gusty hare]

oh yea right

[warped nest]

Then use Aesthete and/or relic to make Exarchic

[gusty hare]

my problem is Skysteel relic tool... haven't even began with relics

[warped nest]

It is optional

[obsidian patio]

Everything but the last step is pretty easy to do with macros

[warped nest]

You can just go for Aetheste tools

[obsidian patio]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vgtU7HFtG87TrJ9U47vnzkFMhSl5HKz7bjJhRXbxaas/preview

[plain python]

I think you need aesthete gear penta-meld to craft skysteel last stage?

[obsidian patio]

You can do it with weaker melds, if you don’t mind making more items to turn in

[gusty hare]

nah f this, i'll just buy stuff from market board lmao, not worth killing myself to get all this stuff for gear that will be old news in a few months

[plain python]

go back to skysteel with 90 gear is also an option. They glow XD

[gusty hare]

yup. honestly i just want to finish the MSQ, but i'm locked out of 5.1 dungeon because of my ilevel :/ don't want to spend weeks just to be able to finish MSQ you know...

[heavy wadi]

yeah it's more looks than anything

gonna wait for EW before working on em

[tender ice]

Is BLU dps?

[remote lintel]

yes

[deep gyro]

the ilvl requirements for dungeons are very very loose

[remote lintel]

a dps that can be any role

[jovial garnet]

What's a good rotation for fates using blue mage for fates 50-70?

[modest igloo]

there isnt really a set one, since some fates are weak to different things

rams voice and ultravibration is good for fates with a lot of mobs

but you can only really do that combo once

[jovial garnet]

Which ones are the must needs to have

[deep gyro]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tZ95lLdwldQSl0ebm0On--utwSabvH5sBIfr_j4je84/edit#gid=1413365587

[jovial garnet]

Thanks

[deep gyro]

!faq balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[deep gyro]

for in depth job optimisation

[analog gate]

i'd suggest blue academy instead for BLU, since balance doesn't really focus on BLU content
https://discord.gg/eeF5mdk

[deep gyro]

i was gonna link all of those too but i didn't wanna spam

[polar hound]

there's very little resources for blu in the balance, defo go with the blu ones

[deep gyro]

https://discord.gg/hTwtJjbr

i think the one you linked has the most resources

but i think there are a few out there

[random igloo]

hi, is there anyway to see collectables without going to rowena and such

[deep gyro]

your crafting log

[polar hound]

Under Timers i believe or that

[deep gyro]

that's only for custom deliveries

it is now under crafting log > special recipe > collectables

[random igloo]

I see it there thank you

[deep gyro]

collectable deliveries were changed slightly a few patches back

[random igloo]

shame it doesnt have the menu like before

all the info on the go

[deep gyro]

well now it's the same items

doesn't change with daily reset

[random igloo]

thats true, no rotating

[upper cove]

Any recommendations for farming for the moogle event? Praetorium and castrum doesn't seem like the most efficienbt

ARR dungeons

[remote lintel]

farm pvp

[modest igloo]

AV with BLU, pvp

[upper cove]

Free trial can't pvp; (

I tried going into one i wasn't allowed

Or did I do something wrong

Tried to go into ranked match straight

[celest jolt]

Which server its better Balmung or Mateus?.

[remote lintel]

any

[upper cove]

My blu is still lvl 1 hah

[celest jolt]

Balmung feels more alive than other servers.

[remote lintel]

individual world doesnt matter

[quaint forge]

Should I listen to this guy? That kinda makes me wondering how it'll be as a tank. I played that like half a year and no one said anything.

[remote lintel]

were you spinning the boss

[quaint forge]

I didnt even spin the boss

[faint flare]

Dungeons do barely any damage

[heavy wadi]

is that titan or what

[quaint forge]

in matoya relic

[heavy wadi]

ah

[faint flare]

Yeah you can like

Eat everything there

And not care

[quaint forge]

I didnt move boss at all, or, that boss is going to move anyway because the first boss hes putting mud balls right?

[faint flare]

Tank that by the hole

[quaint forge]

So, that NIN nearly DIES and got miltank's rollout 3-4 times

[heavy wadi]

you need to move a bit in that first boss

but not too much

[quaint forge]

I didnt even move alot ^

[faint flare]

I just pull it to the hole on pull, like run to the side then pull

[quaint forge]

I always stand next to the quicksand hole as tank

[faint flare]

Pretty much

[quaint forge]

so i dont have to move around much for positonal melees

And leaving few open spaces as well

[frozen wind]

I have a question and sent this to the square enix support

[quaint forge]

Lastly, that NIN doesnt wait for anyone. luckily healer can keep up the pace

[frozen wind]

so I bought FF 14 starter edition and shadow bringers

upon trying to upgrade it via the mog station with the starter edition code

I keep getting the error " You cannot use this function.
Please contact the SQUARE ENIX Support Center for additional details.
Error Code: i2501"

[remote lintel]

did you try a different browser

[frozen wind]

does it not work on google?

[remote lintel]

and disable any vpns/ad/popup blockers

[frozen wind]

I disabled Ad block

[remote lintel]

sometimes the website just fucks itself

so try a different browser

[frozen wind]

I cant belive that buying a game would be this difficult

cmon square you're supposed to be better than bliz

[leaden ginkgo]

im a fairly new player and as I go through the msq (at lvl 63 now) I hear about random things to unlock for one reason or another (golden saucer, POTD, chocobo compainion). I feel like I have to be missing some of these so does anyone have a list or something

[frozen wind]

will microsoft edge work instead?

[remote lintel]

probably

just to make double sure

[latent bloom]

More an economic question for Data centers i cant enter. Is there a specific kind of crystal/shard/cluster that is stupidly cheap compared to the others? Midgard has ice crystal at 10 per while the others are in the 70-80 per

[runic prawn]

Damn mogatation huh

[frozen wind]

it is the mog station where we put our registration codes right

[slate arrow]

it really all depends on random supply and demand

[remote lintel]

@frozen wind yes

[frozen wind]

Okay so i didnt mess up the area there

[remote lintel]

theres also

!iglam bunny chief pumps

[zinc orbit]

**Bunny Chief Pumps** **:** Feet

[slate arrow]

the shard, crystal, and cluster market is especially volatile as people usually buy a bunch of listings at once

depending on the stack and price, anyways

[frozen wind]

still nothing...

Welp

[obsidian patio]

Try mobile

[frozen wind]

I guess I wait 24 hours and hope that customer support I messaged actually responds and does something

mobile?

[obsidian patio]

Yeah

I2501 is a really weird error in general in regards to registering the game

[atomic forge]

Can Blue Mages do Eden's Promise?

[obsidian patio]

No

[remote lintel]

edens promise is lvl 80

blue mage caps at 70

[atomic forge]

ah

[frozen wind]

Alright i dont know how being on mobile will do anything but here goes nothing

[remote lintel]

because browsers are fucky

[frozen wind]

I never had this isue with any other game

just to be DOUBLE DOUBLE sure

its the register code area button

[remote lintel]

its the giant button that says transfer to full game

[frozen wind]

OH MY GOD

IT WORKED

@obsidian patio you are a god

I love you

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[rough fossil]

Will it still possible to get Skybuilders Scrips?

[remote lintel]

yes

[vernal urchin]

yes!

[frozen wind]

last question

how do you guys feel about hrotghar

[remote lintel]

what about it

[frozen wind]

i got a fantasia and ive been wondering to use it or not

[obsidian patio]

Pretty limited in hairstyles/faces

[rough fossil]

Okay. I was worried about not being able to get the karakul mount later

[frozen wind]

i like my Au ra but hrotghar look cute too but im not sure to use it or not

[vernal urchin]

they can't wear some hats as well

[remote lintel]

you wont be able to use most headgear

or any unlocked hairstyles

[frozen wind]

so is that a no

[remote lintel]

i mean its your decision

[frozen wind]

I really do like my Au ra but hrotghar also look kind of cute

[remote lintel]

flip a coin

[frozen wind]

I think ill just stay au ra

[cedar inlet]

I have a question, what is the best hunt server for the Primal Data Center World Hyperion?

[frozen wind]

Its the closest we'll ever get to playable draconic races

oh wait i noticed that we get free bonus items upon buying the expansion

The longer we're subbed the more items we get is that the refer a friend bonus thing? because it brought me to that site when i clicked register

[remote lintel]

@cedar inlet https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv

[cedar inlet]

Was there

[remote lintel]

thats veteran rewards

[cedar inlet]

Not reliable to me

[remote lintel]

then join a linkshell

[ornate geyser]

to join a party with a friend during free trial i need to ask someone with the actual game right?

[faint flare]

Yes

[remote lintel]

if both of you are on trial yes

[strange coral]

Veteran rewards and refer a friend rewards are separate

[frozen wind]

Awww

Ah well

[cedar inlet]

Veteran Rewards are Accumulated based on how many days you have been playing/subscribed

[bronze narwhal]

how to link a character you see into a chatbox? like for coordinate

[faint flare]

<pos>

[cedar inlet]

l o l

[faint flare]

For your coordinates

[bronze narwhal]

for others? I've seen people linking other character's location along with their name on chat

[faint flare]

They just add <t>

To put in their name

[bronze narwhal]

ooooooooo I see I see

[ornate geyser]

is there somewhere in this server where i can ask for that or is this place okay?

[faint flare]

Ask in limsa

[cedar inlet]

Totally Ask in Limsa

[ornate geyser]

oh is it the most populated place?

[faint flare]

Yes

[frozen wind]

Is there anything i should be prepared for or know upon entering shadowbringers content at level 53?

because upon entering the code it suddenly gave me a huge mega download update

[faint flare]

You're not entering Shadowbringers

You'll own it

But wont be in Shadowbringers content

The story and content is all linear

Shadowbringers stuff is 70+ after finishing stormblood

[faint flare]

All you'll get prior to that is the races, red mage and samurai at 50, and dancer and Gunbreaker at 60

[frozen wind]

ahh so i still got a long way to go

[silver ruin]

yup

[dull ingot]

Is it possible to lvl 2 classes to 70 with the stormblood msq?

[tender ice]

Do Scholar and Summoner have seperate job quests?

[remote lintel]

yes

[frozen wind]

yes but from what i learned luckily you get exp level for both

scholar has made my duty ques so much more easier

so if your summoner gets exp, scholar gets the same amount

[pseudo quartz]

I'm doing scholar right now, and honestly I'm worried about trying Summoner one day once I have half the skills instantly but don't know how to use them

Also

[pseudo quartz]

I can say yes, as someone who just finished Stormblood MSQ with White Mage at 78 and Red at 75.

(and Bard at 62 who is picking up the beast tribe quests)

[dull ingot]

Ok ty! Seems doable then

[pseudo quartz]

Without for me.

I do wish I had Road to 70 for alt jobs, like me trying to bring up Scholar and maybe Astro soon, but MSQ and doing your roulette in more then enough for two jobs

[dull ingot]

Uh oops edited the comment instead of typing a new one😂

[pseudo quartz]

Lol, no problem. Glad I could help 👍

[dull ingot]

Ok ty! I'll just play both DRK and SAM then

Was going to play through as DRK but the Doma aesthetics and the villian scream samurai to me

[frozen salmon]

Should I be using the airship to travel inbetween places to cut travel costs during msq or should I just use the teleporters all the time?

[silver ruin]

teleporting is probably quicker

most quests will cover the cost of gil teleports + more

[warped nest]

Personal preference, but teleport is quicker for most of the time

[twilit arch]

usually msq gives you enough gil to cover teleport costs

[mild mauve]

i never run out of gil during the msq. teleport and save the time

[warped nest]

You can mark 3 location as favorites, teleport to these locations will cost half price

[glacial isle]

Can you unsync Ravana (Hard) for suprahanka?

[silver ruin]

you can yea, but its 100% if synced

otherwise the chance is super low unsynced

[frozen salmon]

Thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

Are there any plans for a #crafting in this discord? Would love such a channel

[little swift]

there's #doh-dol-lounge

@leaden ginkgo

[leaden ginkgo]

what?? really?

[little swift]

yes

grab the role in #612757637813239808

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh. Just did. Thanks!

[tender ice]

Is there a way to get MSQ glamour if you skipped the story?

[safe junco]

did the moogle even start early

[little swift]

no not yet

[little swift]

most of it is crafted items so easily repurchasable/crafted if you want. dungeon gear you just farm for. any msq specific costume can be bought at the calamity salvager if you need iirc

[tender ice]

ty

whats a moogle event?

is that like a reoccurring thing

[remote lintel]

the treasure trove event

[tender ice]

can you get event exclusive stuff?

[remote lintel]

yes

its on lodestone

[little swift]

most of it is stuff you can get elsewhere in game

but its easier to obtain it this way

[tender ice]

Where would I go in game to get the stuff easier?

when the event starts

[silver ruin]

aurum vale

then the moogle exchange npc is at all 3 starting cities

[toxic glen]

If you have a BLU otherwise Royal City might be better?

[tender ice]

is that the moogle?

[little swift]

yes thats teh moogle

currently still selling old stuff if you happened to have teh old tomes

rival wings will be better tbh if you don't have blu

[tender ice]

Ah you use tomestones

[silver ruin]

yea the tomestones are gonna drop from the event dungeons starting tomorrow

[scarlet sandal]

So what do I put for Samurai

[silver ruin]

willbe an item in your inventory

[little swift]

at an average of 5-15 minutes per rival wings

[tender ice]

nice

is it multiple dungeons

[little swift]

you get between 15-45 tomes per 45 minutes

which is greater than praetorium spam

[obsidian patio]

Max out crit and DH, rest into Det

[silver ruin]

aurum vale

or rival wings

wait

you mean for the tome event?

[obsidian patio]

For the tomestone event? All eligible ARR dungeons are Dzemael Darkhold, The Wanderer’s Palace, Keeper of the Lake, Amdapor Keep, and Aurum Vale

Dzemael gives 3, the rest give 4.

[tender ice]

So when does this event start?

[remote lintel]

in several hours

[ancient whale]

OGCD means opening GCD?

[remote lintel]

no

[tender ice]

it means off

[remote lintel]

off global cooldown

[ancient whale]

ok ty

[remote lintel]

aka the things labeled "ability"

[tender ice]

I think I will go for the Ixion mount on this event

[ancient whale]

what range class that's actually fun for u guys

[silver ruin]

dancer

and rdm somewhat

[remote lintel]

bard, then dancer

[ancient whale]

isn't that class more of a support o

[remote lintel]

also black mage

no

[silver ruin]

not really

[remote lintel]

its a dps with some support skills

[silver ruin]

^

[ancient whale]

what about bard?

[silver ruin]

same thing

[tender ice]

Do they usually change which dungeons/raids you can obtain tomes with on Moogle Events?

[remote lintel]

bard is dancer but with more adhd

[silver ruin]

they're both still expected to dps well and pull their weight

[silver ruin]

yes

sometimes

like some dungeons will stay the same

others may change

[tender ice]

Because you get 2 tomes per raid right? I think I might just grind raids

[remote lintel]

also theres no ixion mount this event

[tender ice]

ah

nvm then

How do you know that?

[remote lintel]

because it lists the stuff you can get?

and ixion isnt there?

[tender ice]

Alright, chill

I don't know where that list is

[remote lintel]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/mogmog-collection/202103/2ozonfi9xh

[tender ice]

thanks.

[ancient whale]

wait the event already startted?!

[remote lintel]

no

[stable rock]

Not sure If this Is the correct channel but has anyone experienced insane lag spikes within ultimate raids and found a fix? I've tried everything from VPN/New Installation/DC swaps. I've been playing all day today with zero issues until my group Q's into UWU then I receive insane lag spikes that boot me from game and this issue has been going on for months and I can't find a fix

[tender ice]

na

[ancient whale]

says 1 am PDT

[remote lintel]

its not 1 am pdt yet

[ancient whale]

ohh nbm

i have like 5 hours my fault

[tender ice]

Blissful Kamuy looks nice, might go for that

[boreal storm]

It’s the Lakshmi mount, so enjoy the Lakshmi music

[ancient whale]

im fairly new to this type of event but is tehre going to be like a maintenance?

[remote lintel]

no

small events like this are added in with patches and then just turned on whenever SE wants

[ancient whale]

ahh ok, also should i grind for highend gear item when i hit 80 or should i just wait till endwalker in a few months.

whats ur opinion @remote lintel

[remote lintel]

endwalker will require like i500 or something in the beginning

which isnt that hard to get

[ancient whale]

i heard i can get exarchic gear or sum

which is IL 510?

[remote lintel]

yes

exarchic is the impatient way

!faq gearguide

[zinc orbit]

Gearing up by level

Click on a link below to view the gear guides on consolegamewiki.

Level 50
Level 60
Level 70
Level 80

[remote lintel]

other sets and how to get them are here

[ancient whale]

well in your opinion is it worth the grind the gears or just go to exarchic till endwalker

[remote lintel]

personally i would just buy whatever cheap exarchic pieces you can find and grind other gear

thats what i did for my alt jobs

[tender ice]

Yeah thats what I did too

[ancient whale]

wdym grind other gears? like raid gear?

[silver ruin]

normal raid gear/gear that'll come from the new nier dungeon thats dropping 5.5

tome gear

that sort of thing

[ancient whale]

ahh ok ok

[remote lintel]

crystarium, cryptlurker, edenmete, puppet bunker gear, etc

[ancient whale]

also what raid is going to be open on 5.5

[remote lintel]

the third nier raid iirc

[ancient whale]

thnx but savage will still locked to weekly?

[remote lintel]

i think so

[novel grove]

Anybody already have plans for what in particular they'll be grinding for the tome event?

[silver ruin]

aurum vale

fullskilled blue mage party

[remote lintel]

alliance raid roulette/ivalice raids because i actually like them and they dont crush my soul

[silver ruin]

if you mean prizes, im going for 3 of the 50 tome mounts each, one of the 30, and both minions

then maybe some mgp

[novel grove]

Alliance raid countes? I'll have to reread the list apparently

I meant dungeon etc 🙂

[remote lintel]

all the ivalice raids give tomes

[modest igloo]

alex 1-4 also gives 1

for some reason

[remote lintel]

i dont think ill farm dungeons though because i find them boring

id farm pvp instead

[glacial isle]

gonna suffer through Præ/Aurum Vale just for some fancy mounts

[modest igloo]

pvp gamer?

[silver ruin]

stuff has to be synced though, dungeons/raids etc

[remote lintel]

no, rival wings is just quick and gives decent tomes

like ~7 mins

[twilit arch]

rival wings usually sees a boost in popularity with the moogle tomestone event

[modest igloo]

does it give any poetics?

[remote lintel]

50

[modest igloo]

ooo nice

[silver ruin]

wait how many tomes does rival wings give

[remote lintel]

i think 3?

[toxic glen]

So you get them from Rival wings from participation or winning?

[remote lintel]

participating

[hollow violet]

What are crystals used for by your average, non-primal summoning person? Curious why we seem to have constant shipments with wagons full of the things moving around for bad guys to steal

[twilit arch]

rival wings was 5 last event...

[toxic glen]

Might suck at that for a bit then

[twilit arch]

But the page for this event isn't very helpful cos it says 3 or 5 =_=

[remote lintel]

i thought 5 would be for frontlines but idk

[silver ruin]

idk what this is

[twilit arch]

Well, we'll see when it starts. but i'd assume 5

[silver ruin]

but 3-5

[glacial isle]

do you think they'llfix the bot issue with PVP so Trial players can do it again soon?

[twilit arch]

just due to previous events

[leaden ginkgo]

Do stormblood beast tribes have a level requirement to unlock or can you start them when you start the expansion?

[silver ruin]

nope

unlikely

atleast not within the time frame it matters for the event

they're probably busy bug checking 5.5

[glacial isle]

shame

[flat kelp]

Hey guys, is there a decent guide explaining what I do between my openers as SAM, I just started playing it, I'm not even cap but I'd like to learn some things as I get to 80

[modest igloo]

[remote lintel]

!faq samrotation

[flat kelp]

I do have WeskALber but he doesnt elaborate what I do between the opener rotation

He does like to do small mentions but I have a hard time catching them

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo some of them have an msq requirement

[twilit arch]

kojin require 63 technically as you need to have completed the main scenario quest "Tide Goes in, Imperials Go Out", and ananta technically requires 67 as you need two side quest chains completed to unlock it

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahh thank you Cerberus and Killwryn

Oof on 67 for Ananta

[twilit arch]

you can get one half done while you're 60-61

[remote lintel]

requires lvl 67 msq

for the actual main quest that unlocks it

[twilit arch]

since "The Hidden Truth" side quest chain is available early on in the stormblood msq

second chain you'll have to wait until 67~ when you come back to the fringes to do

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohh that’s helpful thank you

[ripe meteor]

is gun metal dye not in mog shop?

[twilit arch]

no

[ripe meteor]

god damit

[twilit arch]

gunmetal black is from ishgard restoration scrips

or marketboard

[ripe meteor]

oh there only 30k

[toxic falcon]

quick queston

for dancer its all about dex?

is that the only stat i should focus on?

[remote lintel]

all ranged dps use dex as main stat

[toxic falcon]

so dex

[remote lintel]

yes

[toxic falcon]

only dex or should i focus on other sutff

i just got dragoon to 80 and i wanna lv up my dancer now

its been pretty much abaonded since arr

[remote lintel]

substats dont really matter until youre 80

[leaden ginkgo]

where do i get skybuilders' hemp?

[glacial isle]

Diadem

[covert berry]

hey, i got a quest called "in for garuda awakening" but i cant accept it bcs it says the name of a dungeon required, i already unlocked it but didnt do it, am i supposed to make it?

i have no quest for it too

[leaden ginkgo]

you gotta complete the dungeon

that it says is needed

[covert berry]

oki

hard at these hours to find one duty xd

[leaden ginkgo]

[covert berry]

[leaden ginkgo]

[covert berry]

any channel to find party members here?

[twilit arch]

you can't get phase 1 materials anymore. you need to go into diadem to get phase 4 materials

[leaden ginkgo]

ok so lets say i get phase 4 materials

OH nvm im dumb

[remote lintel]

then you have to level samurai

[twin delta]

okay thanks

[remote lintel]

assuming you have stormblood first

[delicate field]

when does an eureka effect apply

[glacial isle]

so out of the SB Mounts/Minions from the Moogle event, which would be the hardest to get normally?

[warped nest]

@delicate field inside eureka zones

@glacial isle care to list them out?

[twilit arch]

most annoying is probably going to be tyranosaur

because that's rng with lockboxes

[boreal storm]

Blissful kamuy, magetik predator, Eureka Trex

[glacial isle]

thx

[twilit arch]

falcon has no other means of being gotten, so if you want it you should grab it

[glacial isle]

I want all of them, just asking to see if i should prioritize one 1st

[delicate field]

when is the moogle event happening

[twilit arch]

lakshmi is fairly easy to farm, plus totem protection

[boreal storm]

4 hours

[twilit arch]

predator is rng but the dungeon is easy enough to run

so i'd put t-rex/falcon as top priority

[delicate field]

is there a wiki link for how to participate?

[twilit arch]

with predator being like mid, and kamuy being lowest

[glacial isle]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/mogmog-collection/202103/2ozonfi9xh

[delicate field]

thank you sir/madam

[glacial isle]

NP

[twilit arch]

even tho its not sb mount, i would also say nightmare as a priority unless you already have it

[glacial isle]

I do

[twilit arch]

mk

[boreal storm]

ARR Beast mounts are also on there, so save yourself the trouble and buy them

[novel grove]

With a full month to farm many of these should be achievable easily I would think

[hollow violet]

re BLM rotation (level 50), is there a point where I'm supposed to weave in the Fire 3 procs? They trigger my GCD so it still costs a cast period. Or is it just there to give me a second to reposition and I should fire them as they come in?

[delicate field]

what are all those Riding maps for? does it give you 3* move speed?

[novel grove]

Ixal mount for sure

[twilit arch]

it gives you 2s movement speed in those zones

but they are honestly not worth their cost

[modest igloo]

it doesnt affect flying

[twilit arch]

especially if you already have flying

ixion isn't on this run @novel grove

[delicate field]

I thought each map has a move speed unlock

[thin comet]

hey oo. any tips on where/what to farm for the event?

[novel grove]

Ummm thought I saw it

[thin comet]

i need to unlock like all of it lol

[boreal storm]

They’re talking about Dire wolf or whatever it’s called

[twilit arch]

oh

i read ixion, not ixal mybad

[novel grove]

Lol yeah direwolf

[glacial isle]

eh i can do the beast tribes manually

need to finish them anyways

[novel grove]

Just that crafting sometimes ugh

[twilit arch]

tbh while the beast tribes take a while to get, i would personally put them as a lowest priority

[thin comet]

whats the highest priority to get? 🙂

[glacial isle]

so i'd put t-rex/falcon as top priority

[novel grove]

I agree definitely lower priority for beast tribes

[twilit arch]

falcon has no other means currently of being gotten

[glacial isle]

or the Ultima Horns since the only way to get them is a very rare fate

[twilit arch]

and t-rex is untradeable lockbox item from eureka

the predator i put as a mid priority because its a dungeon rng, but you can solo the dungeon on a tank job. it'll be tedious, but will get easier with EW's release

lakshmi is pretty easy to mount farm for, plus you have totems to fall back on if you get unlucky with rolls

[thin comet]

what totem 😮

[oblique yew]

can i have more than 1 retainer?

[twilit arch]

nightmare i also put as a high priority because its a rare rng drop from titan/garuda/ifrit extreme, that hasn't had its drop rate boosted

[glacial isle]

EX Primal Trials give a totem item upon completion

99 Totems gets you the Mount

[thin comet]

you can have 2 for free @oblique yew

[twilit arch]

you can have 2 retainers, free. can have a total of 10, but that requires paying for the ones past the first two

[boreal storm]

You can also turn totems in for primal weapons, the non-glowy kind

[jagged crow]

Why has my friend gotten his chocobo to rank 3 but he has no skill points (His skills tab is locked)

[toxic glen]

At what level should I be able to solo Cutters Cry with BLU also is there a good solo lvling guide for BLU around?

[delicate field]

@toxic glen join the BLU discord

[hollow violet]

re BLM rotation (level 50), is there a point where I'm supposed to weave in the Fire 3 procs? They trigger my GCD so it still costs a cast period. Or is it just there to give me a second to reposition and I should fire them as they come in?

[toxic glen]

They have a discord just for BLU?

[delicate field]

yeah ppl run stuff together to learn spells, etc, hints, tips

[marble dew]

hey yall i just got a ps5 and im considering diving in but i know its not ps5 optimized obviously. is it a good time to start the grind?

[remote lintel]

its fine for ps5

[thin comet]

@delicate field can i get an invite? xD

[remote lintel]

and the beta test for the more optimized version is soon anyway

[warped nest]

@hollow violet movement

Or weave in Ability

If BLM even has them at 50

[twilit arch]

they really don't

[marble dew]

yea i just watched that video about that. cool. I guess i need to buy/download and get it set up

[hollow violet]

Nothing I know of lol. Thanks!

[twilit arch]

At 50 you should pretty much be using your f3 procs when they come up

unless you know you're going to need it for movement, since potential chance at wasting a proc

[warped nest]

Since it is more potency than Fire 1

[hollow violet]

got it, thanks!

[marble dew]

so preferred servers are a xp boost right?

[remote lintel]

yes

[marble dew]

i googled it and apparently you cant always make them though. i guess they fill up. oh well. any suggestions for which server/data center

[remote lintel]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[remote lintel]

because of this

[marble dew]

ah that makes sense

[remote lintel]

but just pick any world

the exp buff is nice but not required

[marble dew]

good to know. and thats the only benefit right

[remote lintel]

yes

[marble dew]

sweet. thanks for being so helpful Cerberus

if i buy the complete edition and get the free 30 days does that affect preferred servers or anything?

[silver ruin]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

so i have a crafter at level 50

but the person who gives me the quest for the special deliveries doesnt have a quest

how would I get it to show up, do i need to do my class quests up to 50 as well?

[shut panther]

is it possible to get 60fps in shit like limsa?

or is the engine just not really capable of it, even with a powerful cpu

[leaden ginkgo]

i run at 60 in limsa

didnt mean to sound like "well I run at 60 smh"

[shut panther]

hmm

as best as I can tell neither my gpu or cpu are actually struggling, yet 50fps

[slate arrow]

it's mainly based on your single core CPU

FFXIV just shits itself when more than 24 players are on the screen at any point, most of the time

[shut panther]

yeah, that was kind of what I was wondering

[leaden ginkgo]

o my ff14 runs fine when there are a bunch of people

[shut panther]

7700HQ, a laptop cpu.. but a pretty decent one.

[indigo vale]

Hullo, trying to get a replica of the Gae Bolg relic weapon for glamour. I have it, but Drake won't make a replica of it

Is there something else I have to do or can I obtain the replica elsewhere

[remote lintel]

you need to finish the entire zodiac relic to unlock replicas

[indigo vale]

That's

Daunting

But very well

Ty for the answer

[delicate field]

PS players and Pc players play together on the same servers?

[remote lintel]

yes

[delicate field]

damn that is sweet

[earnest wraith]

but you have to buy different license in case you want to play on both platform using single account 😫

[delicate field]

oh like in the same day you'd play ps4 and pc alternatively?

[earnest wraith]

yes, sometimes you might put in the place where isn't not convenient to play console

[delicate field]

yeah or just lay down on the couch for a boring farming session, etc

[earnest wraith]

(during work... cough)

[delicate field]

lol

[oblique yew]

so in bozja, the char lvl gets synced to 80

what about the ilvl?

[analog gate]

ilvl get synced to 430

both up and down

[marble dew]

so apparently my ps4 FFXIV account is tied to an old SE account

anyone have any tips

[obsidian patio]

You can try sending in a support ticket to unlink the accounts, but it’s not a common thing they do.

[marble dew]

is there anything else I can do? i was gonna buy the complete edition anyways.. could i just create a new psn just for FFXIV??

[obsidian patio]

Yeah you can do that.

[delicate field]

that's gonna be inconveneint to switch around wont it?

[marble dew]

not really. the ps5 makes it pretty simple to just swap profiles

[delicate field]

oh good lol

in any case here's the link to try to get support from SE: https://support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?kid=67426&id=496&la=1

[marble dew]

anyone have any idea how long "several minutes" is to try another password

[shut panther]

if you only want the gaebolg for glamour you don't really need to do the whole line.. just use the original for the glamour

[rugged flicker]

I just saw someone with some sort of NPC companion with them named Esteem. What was that about?

There also appeared to be a couple of Bahamut summons present as well.

[slate arrow]

Bahamut is summoner

[rugged flicker]

I know but

There only appeared to be one person present, and even if there wasn't, they suddenly disappeared, which I assumed was for some quest instance.

[oblique yew]

what are these fragments used for in bozja?

[obsidian patio]

You trade them to an NPC in the camp to get actions to use in bozja

[toxic glen]

Trading in for lost actions and items

[oblique yew]

and can i enter bozja as many times?

[obsidian patio]

Ranging from stuff like healing, damage boosts, utility stuff, or “essences” which are semi-permanent buffs you can apply

Yes

This lets non-tank jobs have good enmity and keep aggro on enemies

[oblique yew]

but why would a non-tank want to do that?

does it benefit him/her more?

[obsidian patio]

If your party needs a tank and no one has one leveled up

Or if you just want to

The skill/essence customization basically lets you become a hybrid role in bozja if desired

[nova umbra]

what would be the most efficient way to get these moogle tomestones?

[obsidian patio]

PVP is likely fastest for random groups

For organized stuff, Aurum Vale with Blue mages

[nova umbra]

win or lose in pvp it's the same?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[nova umbra]

oooh

probably a great time then to knock out some achievements

[obsidian patio]

To show off an example, any DPS or tank can use this essence to give them drastically increased healing

!action Essence of the Saviour

[zinc orbit]

**Essence of the Savior** : lvl 0 PLD MNK WAR DRG BRD BLM SMN NIN MCH DRK SAM RDM GNB DNC (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

are these only the 1v1v1 maps?

[obsidian patio]

Hidden Gorge is 24v24

The rest are 24v24v24

[nova umbra]

oops yeah i meant 24v24

[delicate field]

24v24v24 is that pvp?

[nova umbra]

dang, so no rival wings or whatever that mode is u_u

[obsidian patio]

Yep

Hidden Gorge is rival wings

[nova umbra]

oh LOL

i'm so clueless on pvp ^_^

[delicate field]

oh i didnt realize all those maps said pvp lol

[covert berry]

i forgot where to use amagals from trials

could u tell me?

[fringe lotus]

Hey guys my gf has been showing a lot of interest in the game cause I'm showing her music and gameplay of it . I'm trying to figure out what job would be best to start her on cause she has never play an MMO barely played videogames either only like BOTW and some other ones. Any ideas?

[covert berry]

@fringe lotus what does she likes? healing? supporting? dealing damage? far? melee? be the tank guy?

[obsidian patio]

My recommendations for beginner classes are these

#questions-and-help message

[remote lintel]

tanking and healing would prob be easier

marauder or white mage would be good

[covert berry]

i dont think healing is easy xd

[remote lintel]

theyre pretty braindead

[covert berry]

at least for hard/extreme trials

[obsidian patio]

Amagals? Like the tokens you get after each clear?

[remote lintel]

damage is predictable especially in endgame raids

[covert berry]

@obsidian patio yes

[fringe lotus]

I guess I should show her roles first cause she hasn't looked at any at all lol

[obsidian patio]

HW trials in Idyllshire, SB in Rhalgr’s Reach, SHB is split between Eulmore and Mor Dhona

[remote lintel]

if shes never played mmos before then she might be overwhelmed by dps skills

[covert berry]

hm

[delicate field]

@fringe lotus black mage

[obsidian patio]

Eulmore has the non-weapon trials, and Mor Dhona has the weapon trials

[covert berry]

@obsidian patio can i get to these places at lvl53?

[nova umbra]

hm... is summoner actually a beginner friendly class though :x

[obsidian patio]

Only Mor Dhona

I think Summoner is decent if you level up with it

[fringe lotus]

I was thinking get her into summoner then scholar cause she'll like the cute pets ahaha

[remote lintel]

scholar can be harder than the other healers at lower levels

[obsidian patio]

I fumble with summoner a lot because I only ever level up with scholar

[remote lintel]

since its a more proactive healer instead of a reactive healer and doesnt have a lot of its ogcd heals then

[toxic glen]

SMN is one of the more complex jobs

[fringe lotus]

But yeah I was worried healing would be too complicated at first but y'all think it's fine for a complete noob?

[obsidian patio]

Healing itself is super easy

[remote lintel]

healing is braindead

[nova umbra]

i mean, scholar literally doesn't have to cast any heals at low level dungeons

[remote lintel]

esp white mage

[obsidian patio]

The main complexity of healing is maximizing your damage at the same time

[nova umbra]

unless the tank is wall to wall pulling

[delicate field]

truth LOL

that fairy

[fringe lotus]

Ight cool I'll get her to do healing class then. Super q times for us then since tank+healer :p

[remote lintel]

white mage is the most straightforward

and the easiest

[toxic glen]

Nah new SCHs do as the fairy scales with stats I believe

[nova umbra]

problem though is that if you want to play as a scholar in dungeons, you have to wait until level 30, until then you're counted as a dps as arcanist

since you're basically locked to only whm for healer if you're a completely new player

[covert berry]

@obsidian patio so the alagams are good for alt classes right? since main gets gear easily

[delicate field]

if you wanna play white mage in dungeon you also need to wait level 30

[obsidian patio]

Nah

They’re only for mostly outdated endgame weapons

Unless you’re actually talking about tomestones of poetics

[leaden ginkgo]

Hello, are there any beginner friendly crafting and gathering guides out there? I did find a few videos but those seem to be outdated..

[delicate field]

@nova umbra you can start as arcanist and become a healer at level 30, exactly the same as a conjurer becoming WHM at level 30

[toxic glen]

You can still be a CNJ though where SCH you have to be an ARC till 30

[nova umbra]

what i'm saying is that as an arcanist you're still a dps in queue

[toxic glen]

Which means DPS queues which take forever

[nova umbra]

so if you had the intention as a new player to play as a healer, you're limited to whm if starting at level 1

[delicate field]

oh do conjurers queue as healers?

[remote lintel]

arc is archer

conjurer is a healer

arcanist is a dps

[toxic glen]

Whats code for Arcanist?

[obsidian patio]

There’s a ton of general crafter/gatherer resources pinned in #doh-dol-lounge

[remote lintel]

ACN

[toxic glen]

Oh that makes sense

[nova umbra]

... which I feel like should be changed lol

[obsidian patio]

The balance discord also linked in there have channels dedicated to help with crafters and gatherers

[toxic glen]

Well yeah that and SCH and SMN being a joint deal, have 80 SCH and SMN but no idea how to play SMN

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you @obsidian patio this is my first mmo so its still a bit confusing reading those. Thanks all the same for the help.

[remote lintel]

even smn mains hate smn

[jagged crow]

What is the materia stat that effects the % of gathering chance

[cloud palm]

oh hey speaking of SMN how tf am I supposed to start a fight? Do I open with sicing the lil egi on the boss or do I start with a Ruin or what

[nova umbra]

precast ruin and use sic on the target at the end of the cast

[cloud palm]

Ruin 3?

[remote lintel]

you use up your egi assaults first

[nova umbra]

yeah

[remote lintel]

then ruin

[jagged crow]

Anyone? I just need some quick help before my xp buff runs out

[proud willow]

it's Gathering

Perception affects the HQ rate

[jagged crow]

okay thanks!

[remote lintel]

actually prepull you place your pet at the boss and use ruin 3

[cloud palm]

Okay, so Ruin 3 into Egi Assault. Second question. Should I just burn through my Egi Assaults as they come up or do I save one or two for weaving purposes?

[nova umbra]

basic opener is precast ruin III, use sic at like 0.5 seconds left of cast or whatever, and then all your egi assaults while weaving in all your other ogcds before going into bahamut

[remote lintel]

dont overcap on egi assaults

[cloud palm]

But should I use them as soon as they come up or save for weaving?

[nova umbra]

and yeah, try not to overcap on egi assaults or use them when you already have 4 Ruin IV stacks

[cloud palm]

Obviously without overcasting

[nova umbra]

save them for weaving or movement

[cloud palm]

Okay, so always have one or two on hand. That's pretty much all I was confused on.

[nova umbra]

also if you have a stack of an egi assault and the next one is coming up in less than 20 seconds and you're going into bahamut/phoenix, you're going to be overcapped so make sure to use them

also one extra thing, never ever use egi assault/enkindle/aetherpact right before going to bahamut/phoenix since it's a very high chance of getting ghosted

[cloud palm]

Ghosted? Meaning it wont come out?

[worthy summit]

Are the books for ARR relics randomised or everyone gets exact same objectives with same book on same stage?

[silver ruin]

it'll go on cd but it wont actually go off

[oblique yew]

will i lose anything once i leave bozja?

[remote lintel]

no

[shut panther]

different classes get different books, but it's the same for everyone on the same class

[nova umbra]

ghosted means the action is in queue but it actually never went off because your pet got replaced by bahamut/phoenix or vice versa

for example, you used egi assault followed immediately by phoenix trance, the egi assault was used up and your gcd started and the action is in queue, but you immediately despawned your pet and replaced it with phoenix so it got wasted

[worthy summit]

By class you mean job or role?

[marsh canyon]

I have no gil, but I do have level 53 botanist and level 52 alchemist. What should I gather or make in order to sell for gil on the market?

I'm very intimidated by player economies.

[nova umbra]

same thing happens vice versa in phoenix/bahamut. If you use a channeled ability at the end of phoenix/bahamut, you don't give them enough time to get off the wyrmwave/scarlet flame before they fly away. That's why you want your last 2 gcds in phoenix/bahamut to always be instant

[slate arrow]

We can't tell you since it highly depends on your server.

[marsh canyon]

oh, I see
I'm on Couerl

[shut panther]

Job

[slate arrow]

If you want to make gil now, treasure maps are a decent way, assuming you have a level 80 job to do Zonureskin treasure maps. From there, just get a group of friends or use Party Finder to run treasure maps

Crafters and Gatherers it's highly recommended to practically required to get to max level to get anywhere useful for crafts to sell

[shut panther]

Cluster farming in bozja isn't bad Gil if you get organized

[marsh canyon]

oh

These are all places and levels I'm not at yet

[nova umbra]

@cloud palm I'd highly recommend looking at this if you want to learn summoner well https://www.akhmorning.com/jobs/smn/guide/#pages-in-this-guide

[marsh canyon]

so, uh
I-- I don't exactly know how I'm supposed to get any money to buy the gear to reach those levels

[shut panther]

Ah, not max level.

[marsh canyon]

my highest DoW/DoM is Bard 58

[shut panther]

What do you need Gil for now?

[slate arrow]

tl;dr do the MSQ, and save your gil. Only use poetics or sidequest loot to gear your first Combat job, and you might be able to get to close to a million gil by the end

[marsh canyon]

Buying Heavensward crafter/gatherer gear

[shut panther]

Yeah, just.. don't do that.

[full latch]

Does anyone actually have one of the security tokens?

[slate arrow]

If you have a free company, you should ask them for help gearing your crafters and gatherers unless you're on the free trial

[marsh canyon]

hm, well

[shut panther]

You're better off finishing msq on your combat class, then there's various ways to cheat your way around/get cheap gear as you level your dol jobs

[marsh canyon]

I'm at 467 gil now so I will return to the MSQ

[nova umbra]

oh boy lol

[little swift]

most people just do use the mobile phone app version but some do get the physical token yes

[rugged flicker]

Okay so I have question: I was just in Tam-Tara Deepcroft (Hard), and we kept wiping on the first boss multiple times. It would typically happen when second wave of ads spawned when they would kill the healer. One run I screwed up because they told me to run rather than try to kill them. During the final run, however, the agroed the other DPS, we took them out, but we still wiped.

[shut panther]

For example, there's levequests that don't require you actually succeed at things to gain lots of exp.

[full latch]

which is better? and why go for the physical version?

[rugged flicker]

For whatever reason, they blamed this on me, calling me a loser before dismissing me.

[little swift]

collectible item

[slate arrow]

tank wasn't doing their job, they're supposed to pull all mobs regardless

[nova umbra]

aw that's sad

[rugged flicker]

Well I reported all three of them regardlesss.

[nova umbra]

mobs should be grouped up, and person with the marker needs to hit all the mobs with the arrow rain I believe

[rugged flicker]

ToS clearly says such behavior is not tolerated.

[proud willow]

Err, nobody is supposed to attack the adds in that fight. They do not obey aggro rules

[little swift]

the idea for tamtara hard first boss is you kite out the adds so that you can burn out the boss before they cast rain of death and not have to deal with the add explosions

[full latch]

like something comes with it?

[little swift]

if you kill the adds you kill yourselves too

[slate arrow]

the security token is the collectible item

[slate arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[full latch]

oh. so it's better off going for the app

[proud willow]

You don't kite the adds. The boss puts a marker over a different party members head that means she's going to AOE on them. The adds should be lured into the AOE so that she kills them

[slate arrow]

oh tam tara hard

[proud willow]

Regardless, people should not be talking shit, I agree with your reporting them

[thin comet]

can we get the event tomestone when running with squadrons?

[rugged flicker]

I think they mostly got mad because I suggested that this wasn't working and attempted to vote abandon.

[little swift]

yes but its not as quick as actual people

[thin comet]

even with max offensive 5? 😦

[cloud palm]

That's what I've been referencing. I just had those two quick questions is all.

[little swift]

4 blu aurum vale can end in like 3.5 ish minutes now lato

[slate arrow]

It depends, but 4 blue mages synced will still be faster

[thin comet]

i dont have BLU to run AV yet

[little swift]

and rival wings spam is still decent

between 5-15 mminutes a match

[nova umbra]

behold the power of UV 👀

[thin comet]

woah 3 minutes eh

[little swift]

which means 15-45 tomes every 45 minutes which is the time to clear 1 prae

[thin comet]

okay i'll try that later

[slate arrow]

And your sanity from running an instance like 10 times an hour but details

[little swift]

rival wings spam is fine since it'll be popping

[nova umbra]

i mean, you should also do daily story roulette meanwhile if you still got characters to level xD

[thin comet]

so in between the normal duty roulette

[delicate field]

I was trying to run AV on BLU at level 50 but got completely owned by the first trash mob

[thin comet]

just do rival wings then

[little swift]

just do like 2-3 a day and you'll probably be able to get a decent amount of stuff you want

[nova umbra]

i mean, it's like a level 47 dungeon and you're only level 50

[little swift]

you need to have good spells too

[thin comet]

yeah i just want 4-5 things

1. ultima horn (glam ❤️)
2. tyrannousaur
3. falcon
4. magitek
5. kamuy

[little swift]

lv50 is fine to go do it

[delicate field]

I have all the overworld spells so far

[proud willow]

Yeah that's the thing about BLU. Your effectiveness varies wildly depending on what spells you have

[little swift]

but having stuff like ultravibration and missile are practically essential

[delicate field]

I'm trying to 1000 needles all of the tings

[slate arrow]

Most of BLU's opness at 50 came from Final Sting and Self Destruct cheese

1000 needles at level 40+ rapidly falls off in effectiveness

[proud willow]

1000 needles is ineffective against a large group. The damage gets split

[thin comet]

i cant brain BLU's lvling with 1k needle

[little swift]

nah you won't self destruct cheese anymore for dungeons

[slate arrow]

thats why i said came

[delicate field]

Oh what's a good dps spell for dungeons then

[little swift]

with rams voice/ultravibration

you'll clear full pull easily

and then missile/filler spell

[thin comet]

how do you find the other 3 BLU? i mean since you cant queue directly

[little swift]

and you use the moon flute finisher to nuke down teh boss

[slate arrow]

Party finder

[proud willow]

a LOT of people will be making BLU Aurum Vale party finders

[thin comet]

oh! ok never used that xD

[nova umbra]

primal spells, rams voice, uv, hydro pull, missile are some of the good ones for dungeons

[proud willow]

starting an hour from now

but they will expect you to have the correct spells

[thin comet]

i only have 1k needle, sardine and white wind.. lol

[slate arrow]

You should definitely get your BLU up to 70 first before you try to BLU cheese dungeons

[proud willow]

go get, uh, Plaincracker should be an easy enough spell to get

[delicate field]

So kill overworld enemies till 70?
